Outdoor gym in the works for NWC

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The progress on an outdoor gym was discussed at the Newton Wellness Coalition’s Wednesday meeting. The NWC received a grant for $1,500 from Theisan’s to go toward the gym that will be located at Sunset Park.

“It is more like a jungle gym for adults, but kids could use it, too,” NWC member Nathan Unsworth said.

The equipment could be used by adults for balance work, a variation of a weight room experience or rehabilitation. It could also be used by the neighboring community living facilities for a different kind of outdoor exercise.

“We would use it for actual outdoor rehab. Those are the sorts of things we set up in the clinic to have people do that sort of stuff, test balance. If it is in walking distance that makes it appealing,” said NWC member Robyn Friedman.

Dates were set for Newton TALKS, a series of presentations with people from different wellness backgrounds and experiences through out their lives. The talks kick off on April 9 and continue for three months on May 20, WELLNESS | 3A

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Jasper County Sheriff’s Office reserve deputy Marsha Patterson sets up Bullet, a bloodhound, on a scent trail in a demonstration. Bullet is wearing a recently obtained protective vest, made possible by a national “Groupon” fundraising effort.

Scent-trail dog will be fully vested ‘Bullet’ will be protected by vest, thanks to grant program

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Bullet doesn’t quite look comfortable yet in his new suit.

However, as the bloodhound gets more acclimated to his heavy protective vest, he’ll continue to help the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office as a scent-trail dog — and he’ll have

a special vest to help keep him safe.

Tuesday, Bullet put on a short demonstration of how well he can move with the gunshot and stabresistant vest on. While the bloodhound looked perplexed while the new vest was placed on him indoors, he quickly got into business mode once he got outdoors.

Lt. Aaron Groves walked around a building, and Bullet later picked up Groves’ trail scent on the cold grass, following it around the building and sprinting toward Groves.

The vest is heavy, but Bullet was able to run with it on — and the 2-year-old-dog now has a layer of protection he didn’t have until recently.

VESTS | 3A

Between 3 and 5 inches of snow fell in the Jasper County area with the latest storm lasting most of Wednesday, said State Climatologist Harry Hillaker, and there is still more to come this weekend and into next week.

“I doesn’t look real great as far as the weather goes. It is going to be quite cold and there is a fairly good chance for snow Saturday evening into Saturday night and Sunday morning.

Three to 5 inches can be expected,” Hillaker said. “There is another chance that could be a bigger storm Monday night and Tuesday with no amounts predicted

yet.”

The next few days will see temperatures only reaching highs of 10 degrees with the wind chill reading 15 to 30 below zero, according to the National Weather Service.

Saturday brings a 50 percent chance of snow in the afternoon with snow likely continuing after midnight and into the day Sunday.

Currently, Jasper County is in a hazardous weather warning for the combination of low temperatures and winds that will produce very cold wind chills. The winds are set to diminish leading to near record low temperatures.

Local legislators voice reasons for no votes on gas tax

Social Saturdays

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Wednesday, after Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad signed into law the state’s first gasoline tax increase in 26 years, there weren’t any Jasper County legislators celebrating.

All four of the Iowa legislators whose territory includes Jasper County voted against the 10-cent gas tax passed by both houses in recent days.

The Senate voted 28-21 Tuesday to pass SF 257, sending the bill to Branstad’s desk. However, Sen. Chaz Allen and Sen. Amy Sinclair both

were among the 21 ‘no’ votes.

Rep. Dan Kelley and Rep. Greg Heartsill both voted against the House version of the bill, HF 351.

The measure is intended to begin immediately generating revenue needed for Iowa’s network of bridges and roads, many of which are considered deteriorating or deficient, according to the Associated Press. Kelley told the Newton Daily News that not only will Jasper County roads not benefit much from the measure, but it’s also only a temporary solution.

“In Jasper County, we will pay an GAS TAX | 3A

Optimae Life Services offers mental illness peer support

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News For people with a mental illness, life can be challenging at times and sometimes ordinary tasks require more focus and determination. Whether individuals wants to share their accomplishments or talk about a foreseen problem in life,

they need the opportunity to associate with other individuals who can relate to their situation.

It’s a unique understanding that only peers can provide.

Optimae Life Services of Newton offers that support to people in the county with mental illness. They offer a dual support group option to

help people talk, listen and learn, receiving support from others.

On Tuesdays a support group meets from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. where attendees talk about issues their having and discuss how to overcome any struggles. On Saturdays a special drop-in OPTIMAE | 3A

File Photo Vegetables such as peas are full of fiber and can provide numerous health benefits including reducing your risk of several diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

Fill up on fiber this National Heart Month

By Jenny Thompson RD, LD, CDE Diabetes Education Outpatient Dietitian Skiff Medical Center Dietary fiber is found mainly in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes and is probably best known for its ability to prevent or relieve constipation. But fiber may also provide other health benefits, including reducing your risk of several diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

So how much fiber do you need each day?

The National Academy of Sciences’ Institute of Medicine, gives the following daily recommendations for adults: 38 grams for men and 25 grams for women 50 and younger; and 30 grams for men and 21 grams for women 51 and older.

Fiber, also known as roughage or bulk, includes all parts of plant foods that your body can’t digest or absorb.

Fiber is classified into two categories: Those that don’t dissolve in water (insoluble fiber) and those that do (soluble fiber).

• Insoluble fiber. This type of fiber moves through your digestive system more quickly than its counterpart. Insoluble fiber can help promote soft, bulky stools.

Whole-wheat flour, nuts, vegetables, bran and fruits with edible seeds, such as raspberries, are good sources of insoluble fiber.

• Soluble fiber. This type of fiber dissolves in water to form

a gel-like material. It can help lower blood cholesterol and glucose levels. You can find generous quantities of soluble fiber in oats, legumes, barley, apples, citrus fruits, carrots and psyllium.

The amount of each type of fiber varies in different plant foods. To receive the greatest health benefit, eat a wide variety of high-fiber foods.

Research has shown that dietary fiber may help reduce high blood levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) “bad” cholesterol, reduce risk factors for stroke, including high blood pressure.

Too much fiber too quickly can cause intestinal gas, abdominal bloating and cramping. Increase fiber in your diet gradually over a period of a few weeks.

This allows the natural bacteria in your digestive system to adjust to the change. Also, drink plenty of water. Without the added water, you could become constipated.

Fitting in fiber • Start your day with a highfiber breakfast cereal — 5 or more grams of fiber per serving.

Opt for cereals with bran or fiber in the name. Or add a few tablespoons of unprocessed wheat bran to your favorite cereal.

Stir in a spoonful of chia or flax seed into your cereal, oatmeal, or yogurt.

• Add bran cereal or unprocessed wheat bran to baked products such as meatloaf, breads,

muffins, casseroles, cakes and cookies. You can also use bran products as a crunchy topping for casseroles, salads or cooked vegetables.

• Switch to whole-grain breads. These breads list whole wheat, whole-wheat flour or another whole grain as the first ingredient on the label. Ideally, look for one with at least 3 grams of dietary fiber per serving.

• Substitute whole-grain flour for half or all of the white flour when baking bread. Wholegrain flour is heavier than white flour. In yeast breads, use a bit more yeast or let the dough rise longer. When using baking powder, increase it by 1 teaspoon for every 3 cups of whole-grain flour.

• Eat more whole grains and whole-grain products. Experiment with brown rice, barley, whole-wheat pasta and bulgur.

• Take advantage of readyto-use vegetables. Mix frozen broccoli into prepared spaghetti sauce. Snack on baby carrots.

• Eat more beans, peas and lentils. Add beans to canned soup or a green salad. Or make nachos with black beans, baked tortilla chips and salsa.

• Eat fruit at every meal. Apples, bananas, oranges, pears and berries are good sources of fiber.

• Make snacks count. Fresh and dried fruit, raw vegetables, and low-fat popcorn and whole-grain crackers are all good choices.

Vest

The vest is also labeled “Sheriff,” to let civilians know Bullet is on duty, and to distinguish him from any animals working with any state or local police at a crime scene. Patterson said she’s grateful for the program.

“It’s worth about $950, and a lot of departments and individuals wouldn’t spend that, in most cases,” Patterson said.

Patterson said she isn’t sure how well the thick, heavy vest will affect Bullet in the warmest of conditions, but his safety is important. He’s smaller than some police dogs, which might help him endure better in trying conditions.

“He’s resilient,” she said.

Gas Tax Continued from Page 1A additional $3.7 million at the pump under the bill, but just $1.4 million would come back to our county to fix up our roads,” Kelley said. “We need a better solution to our infrastructure needs, that will help our farmers get their crops to market and ensure local manufacturers can get their products delivered.”

Heartsill made three amendments that would have phased in the gas tax in different ways. House Amendment 1014 would have shortened the sunset date of the tax from 2020 to 2016; 1015 would have restricted the use of the tax money collected, and 1017 which would have made tax-relief provisions. None of the amendments ended up in the bill Branstad signed.

“The impetus for passing these bills was

for the legislature to be able to say it ‘got something done,’” Heartsill said. “This measure is, by nature, inflationary.

It passes the cost along to consumers, and it was brokered by a handful of legislators, with a lot of members being shut out.”

Allen said he doesn’t think the issue showed a partisan divide.

“As far as I could see, there was little partisan posturing on this issue,” Allen said.

The first-year senator said he felt adding a tax while Jasper County residents are recovering from a recession is bad timing.

“This is no time for a 45.5 percent tax increase on working families,” Allen said. “The gas tax is one of the most regressive taxes that hits working families the hardest.

Branstad told the AP he praises the bipartisan consensus that passed the bill.

“I know it’s not easy

and I know there are people who feel strongly on the other side, but there is a critical need for additional funding for our roads and bridges in the state of Iowa,” Branstad said. “This is important for economic development, it is important for our farmers to be able to get their crops to market.

I know many people have been waiting for a long time for this.”

Sinclair said about two-thirds of the constituents who contacted her about the gas tax were opposed to it.

“Unfortunately, this bill will only act as a bandaid to the broader issue,” Sinclair said. “In addition, two of the counties within my district border the state of Missouri, which with the passage of this tax, will have a tax rate $.14 per gallon less than Iowa, posing a detriment to local businesses.”

She will also speak about ways to get employees engaged and excited about wellness.

workers to pay more for gasoline, will it also pass legislation to raise the minimum wage?

Kelley said he supports an increase, while Heartsill said it would hurt small-town anchor businesses and part-time employment numbers.

Sinclair isn’t sure the gas tax and minimumwage legislation are tied together.

“I don’t believe it will actually have any impact on minimum wage legislation, one way or the other,” she said.

Kelley said the March 1 start date of the tax will hit some Iowans harder than others.

“This bill will create an unnecessary, dramatic burden on families struggling to make ends meet,” Kelley said. “I’m particularly worried about seniors on a fixed income.”

session is held to coincide with its weekly support group. The drop-in is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays at the facility, 1730 First Ave. E. “The drop-in center is very laid back. It’s for people who don’t necessarily want to talk about what’s been going on in their life but they want to be around people so that maybe eventually they can be comfortable enough to talk about it,” Optimae Life Services Team Leader James Jensen said.

Together, Jensen and Peer Coordinator Brent Deppe brainstorm. They discuss a monthly theme and prepare upcoming topics of discussion or activities for the group. February is relationship building, for example, and January was about goal setting.

“We’ll sit and talk for an hour each week ahead of time. Brent leads the group and talks to everyone. He makes sure everyone feels comfortable, and discusses subject matter,” Jensen said.

Other monthly topics have included avoiding isolation, anger management, budgeting, working with depression, working with anxiety, weight management, building self esteem and art therapy.

“It’s really great to work with this staff and these people. They want to see people recover and we share methods to find out what does work and what doesn’t work,” Deppe said.

Each week, attendees get together and have lunch. They play games, make crafts and socialize. The purpose of the group is support — it’s about having fun, building friendship and participating in a group.

Attendees also talk about the weekly topic and perform an activity to help learn more about the issue.

Last Saturday, the group filled out a personality assessment to learn how to better build new relationships and maintain existing ones. Assessments like this will also help individuals determine their strengths.

“I like to see them leave with a smile on their face. They say laughter is the best medicine,” Deppe said. “I hope I really help them out and it seems like they’re doing OK.” Drop-in sessions require attendees to fill out a demographics form for the county, sign a rules form to ensure a safe environment and fill out an application — no one has been rejected, Jensen said.

Jensen and Deppe will plan a drop-in session anniversary open house for the public in April.

The group has been in existence for three years and is one of the only of its kind in the state.

A grant program allowed the JCSO to obtain Bullet’s customfitted vest free of charge. Reserve officer Marsha Patterson, a volunteer, traveled to a North Carolina kennel to pick up Bullet more than a year and a half ago.

Bullet is available to JCSO any time he’s needed to track suspects; other dogs are specifically trained to hunt down either narcotics or human remains.

The program is organized by Vested Interest in K9s, Inc. — a Massachusetts company. A nationwide “Groupon” event raised more than $335,000 for vests.

Each vest, including Bullet’s, bears the phrase “In Memory of K9 Rocco, Pittsburgh Bureau of Police” on the side, in memory of a Pennsylvania dog who sacrificed his life in the line of duty in January 2014. More than 350 vests are being distributed.

Facebook February

By Pam Rodgers Associate Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | Feb. 26, 2015

February is my favorite month. OK, I have to admit the main reason for my fondness is because it’s my birth month. It makes it easy to love.

I was born in the second month, on the second day and there are two of me (I’m a twin).

Two should probably be my lucky number; however being the rebel child of the family, I chose three and have stuck with it. My sister, the math teacher, enjoys how it all worked out numerically, and we joke about it all the time.

OK, back to February. It is the most unique month of the year. With only 28 days, you learn to appreciate every day you get. Then when a leap year rolls around, you are rewarded with an extra day. No other month is so lucky.

To do something different this year, I have tried to post something to Facebook every day of the month — Facebook February as I like to call it. I know it’s not a lofty goal,

but I have enjoyed the project.

Facebook and I haven’t always been on the same page. Despite the fact that I can boast to being around when Facebook was born and had an account when it was for college students only, I never really used Facebook all that much. I have only recently become attached to the social media site.

I can trace the change back to when I got my iPhone. The change was gradual, but I could really tell after a year of iPhone ownership how my dependency had changed. A good example would be this past summer when I was at Disney World. I spent one day at the Magic Kingdom posting an entire day’s activities to my Facebook timeline.

I have been to Disney multiple times and never had the desire to document my whole day. I don’t think it was a conscious decision at the time; but once I started, I just didn’t stop. I look back now and am glad to have the memo-

ries from that day.

This Facebook February idea came about in a very similar way.

It started with a few simple posts.

First about the snowstorm, then on my birthday, and I just kept going from there. I was about a week in before I decided to keep it going for the whole month.

I haven’t broadcast this endeavor to anyone. In fact, I think the only person who I mentioned it to was my brother. I suppose this column makes that a moot point ... oh well.

I try to keep it simple, migrating toward photos with some of my favorite quotes on them. I think the most popular quote so far was from “A League of Their Own.” In the words of Tom Hanks’ character, Jimmy Dugan, “It’s supposed to be hard. If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. The hard is what makes it great.” I love that movie.

I had also never participated in Facebook’s “Throwback Thursday” until this month. It

was fun finding old photos to share. For a Father’s Day present several years ago, my sister and I spent a weekend scanning a ton of our old photos. Those have come in handy more than once since then. I may have to continue even after the conclusion of Facebook February.

With only three days of February left, I have my last few posts planned. I may have some leftover quotes that I may post in March; but no worries Facebook friends, I will go back to my normal Facebook habits soon.

This February we got to celebrate Black History Month, President’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Ash Wednesday and most importantly Groundhog Day (maybe that’s just me). We simply can’t forget about those Girl Scout cookies either. February really is a fine month.

Giuliani: nutball or sleazeball?

I’m trying to make up my mind about Rudy Giuliani: I can’t decide whether he’s a nutball or a sleazeball. For now I’m going with a sleazy nutball, but I’m open to suggestions.

In a series of hysterical attacks on Barack Obama in recent weeks, Giuliani has all but called the president un-American. He’s lashed out at the man he says doesn’t love his country, is soft on terrorism, and plays too much golf.

“I don’t hear from him what I heard from Harry Truman, what I heard from Bill Clinton, what I heard from Jimmy Carter,” Giuliani griped on Fox News, “which is these wonderful words about what a great country we are, what an exceptional country we are.”

He’s full of it, of course.

A quick check by The New York Times revealed multiple examples of Obama declaring his ardor for his country. The most telling was his speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2004, where Obama reflected that “in no other country on earth is my story even possible.”

Not that it will make any difference, of course.

Rudy said it, so it must be true. So think the denizens of the Republican Cloud Cuckoo Land presided over by the likes of Rush Limbaugh, who has

reported that he’s getting texts “praising Rudy to the rooftops.”

This wouldn’t ordinarily be of any great importance. Presidents have often had to deal with partisan loudmouths hurling insults at them. Franklin Roosevelt had Father Charles Coughlin, a Catholic priest at a posh parish just north of Detroit.

Coughlin, who had a nationwide radio show, was a virulent anti-Semite. He would weekly tear into FDR for his supposedly pro-Jewish leanings, among other things.

I think the Vatican finally ordered him to shut up. In any case, he went away. Those guys usually do.

Giuliani is a somewhat more dangerous case, because the Republican Party finds itself in rather odd position these days.

It’s held hostage by its least educated, most intolerant, and most rabidly partisan cohort.

Thus any Republican vying for the presidency must constantly look over his or her shoulder to make sure they’re not making enemies of supporters who foam at the mouth at the suggestion of compromise.

Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, the leader of this year’s presidential weathervane caucus, is a case in point. Giuliani showed up uninvited to a fatcat fundraiser for the governor a few days ago and, again uninvited, grabbed the mic to deliver one of his Obama rants, making himself — rather than Walker — the center of attention.

Asked afterwards what he thought of the remarks, Walker refused to weigh in, demurring that he didn’t know whether Obama loved America.

Walker is also on record refusing to comment on evolution, and his opposition to abortion has become more strident since he started looking at the presidency.

If you’re trying to disguise yourself as a moderate, the last thing you want is a clown like Giuliani stirring up the animals.

The one thing Republican candidates agree on is that the country must be saved from the specter of universal health insurance. Month after month, year after year, Republicans have harped on the disaster of “Obamacare.”

Except that it’s not really a disaster. The Affordable Care Act is working reasonably well despite the Republicans’ best efforts to sabotage it. Allowed to stand and be improved, this landmark health care reform will go down as one of the Obama administration’s great achievements.

So it’s no wonder that Republicans can’t stomach it.

Their friends on the Supreme Court are teed up to deliver it a blow that may prove fatal later this year.

Which is really a much bigger worry than the intemperate remarks of a nutty sleazeball like Rudy Giuliani.

Future cars may be driverless and powered by hydrogen. Toyota already has a hy d r o g e n fuel-cell model ready for the market, w i t h other a u t o By Curt Swarm makers Guest Columnist scrambling to catch up. I don’t know why it is the foreign manufacturers that seem to grasp what American consumers want or will be driving. The Japanese were the first with highmileage, low-emission cars, and first with hybrids and electrics.

The only emission from these hydrogenpowered autos is water.

Nice. The main problem, so far, is there’s a shortage of hydrogen-fuel stations.

Right now the closest hydrogen-fuel stations for Iowans are Chicago and St. Louis. I expect we’ll soon see them in Des Moines, Cedar Rapids and the Quad Cities. Like anything else new, it takes time, and (this is the most important) a change in attitude.

Driverless cars are being worked on by all the major auto makers. They have to, because the driverless cars have to communicate with each other.

These driverless cars are equipped with a lot of surrounding cameras and radar. What I haven’t seen addressed is what happens when the camera lenses become dirty or covered with ice, as is wont to happen in the Midwest. The rear-view camera on my car now is next to worthless when it is covered with dirt, which is most of the time in winter, considering Iowa’s slushy roads.

Hopefully, the automakers have taken this into consideration, since they test these autos in all sorts of severe conditions.

I wonder if texting will be allowed in driverless cars. How about reading, working crossword puzzles, or writing the Great American Novel? It would sure make the drive across Nebraska a lot easier if one could nap or surf

the Net while driving.

In the near future, we may even see humans on Mars. A select group of people are being groomed now for such a trip. A one-way trip!

Gulp. Not for me. I like the comforts of home.

Life expectancy of a baby born today may be 146, according to Time magazine. If obesity can be whipped, people will live longer, be more productive and, hopefully, happier. It mostly has to do with drugs. Scientists are experimenting now on mice with a drug called rapamycin, “which seems to slow aging and the damage it can do.” Rapamycin is already used as an anti-rejection medication for organ transplant recipients, so the arduous FDA approval process has already been met, at least for organ transplants. If it can work on mice, it may work on people. By the way, the antibiotic, rapamycin, was first discovered in dirt. We’ll see how the best laid plans of mice and men work out.

There’s also resveratrol, a compound found in grapes and red wine, that’s espoused to have anti-aging attributes. It’s gotten a lot of press, and is quite popular, because it gives folks the excuse to have a glass (or more) of red wine per day.

Then there’s an enzyme called telomerase, which works on telomeres, the timekeepers of a cell’s life. With the use of telomerase, telomeres “might be manipulated and extended to halt aging related problems.”

With people living longer, where will they all live? You’d think the old codgers would flock to the sunbelt. Nope.

Also according to Time magazine, it’s cities, and “of the largest cities in the U.S., Madison, Wis. is the best in which to grow old.” This is based on access to health care, transportation, social networking, and cultural stimulation.

If people live to be 146, they darn well better not be driving.

Face-to-face friend refuses to like online interaction

DEAR ABBY: Help! Facebook is killing my social life. I am wondering if anyone else is having this experience.

I am a woman whose job requires me to be on the computer eight hours a day.

The last thing I want after work is to go online. Before Facebook took over my social circle, this wasn’t a problem. But now all my friends and family are on the site and pressuring me to do likewise.

Gradually, Facebook contact seems to be replacing real, physical get-togethers.

Things that used to be done in person or over the phone are now all done on Facebook, and we rarely get together anymore.

If I don’t check Facebook, I am out of the loop.

If I suggest getting together, everyone is “busy” — busy on Facebook, I guess.

They aren’t mad at me or avoiding me, they just want contact on their terms. Am I the only one having this problem? — OLD-SCHOOL IN CHAMPAIGN, ILL. DEAR OLD-SCHOOL: I’m sure you’re not the only one. The Internet is supposed to be a tool to facilitate communication, not a substitute for real, flesh-and-blood relationships. If you can’t work out a compromise with your friends and family — say, one in-person visit a month — you may have to cultivate some new relationships with other “oldschool” people who also prefer face-toface contact.

DEAR ABBY: My father recently passed away. It was unexpected. He was my sunshine and my heart. I am devastated. Because of this, I am no longer sure I want to have a traditional wedding.

It would be too sad to not share the day with Dad, as I had dreamed. My fiance and I have discussed eloping, and it seems like the right idea.

The trouble with eloping, however, is that we’d want our parents and siblings there as witnesses, and we’d like a party for friends and extended family after the nuptials. People are telling me THAT’S

not eloping, and they have been looking forward to attending our wedding.

In the midst of my grief, I’m not sure how to respond to their comments. What should I do? — FATHERLESS BRIDE IN MISSISSIPPI DEAR FATHERLESS BRIDE: If you would prefer your nuptials to be a small, intimate affair, that’s what they should be. Have a reception later. Whether others were looking forward to attending your wedding is beside the point. If you are challenged for not wanting a big wedding, all you need to say is that your plans changed when your father died. No one should be able to argue with that, because your feelings are understandable.

DEAR ABBY: I have a neighbor who is always asking to borrow things. The items come back only if I go and collect them — from food items like spices, to gasoline, cash and more. The situation is almost comical, like Simpson vs.

Flanders. How can I make my stuff less available without outright saying no? — FLANDERS OF “SPRINGFIELD,” MAINE DEAR FLANDERS: And what is wrong with just saying no? When someone’s generosity is abused, that’s the most logical thing to do. And without being nasty, you should tell your neighbor the reason why.

Urbandale district finds no links in suicides of 2 students URBANDALE — Officials have found no links between the suicides of two students at a school in suburban Des Moines.

Authorities say a 12-year-old sixthgrader at Urbandale Middle School killed herself on Feb. 15. The suicide of an eighth-grade girl was reported on Monday.

No evidence has been found that either girl was bullied, and Superintendent Doug Stilwell says the girls didn’t know each other.

Jennifer Jane Olney, 48, was charged Tuesday with child endangerment and one other crime. The West Des Moines Police Department says officers responded to a report of medication and alcohol hand sanitizer overdose at Olney’s residence.

School bullying legislation advances

State details plan to use private firms to manage Medicaid The Associated Press DES MOINES — Turning Iowa’s Medicaid program over to private operators will save money and improve service, a top state official said Wednesday, but lawmakers questioned how it would impact people enrolled in the program.

Department of Human Services Director Chuck Palmer told the Legislature’s Health and Human Services Appropriations Committee that the state is moving forward with a plan to shift the Medicaid program to two or more managed care organizations, to which Iowa will pay fixed amount per enrollee to provide health coverage.

“We can have a better health care delivery system,” said Palmer, adding the change would provide “budget stability and predictability moving forward.”

Roughly 550,000 people are enrolled in Iowa’s Medicaid program, which provides care to poor children, families and disabled people, as well as some low-income adults. It is funded with $4.2 billion in state and federal dollars.

HOW WE MADE THE GYRAFOAM

The Associated Press DES MOINES — Legislation aimed at reducing school bullying in Iowa advanced in the Legislature on Wednesday, but it remains unclear if it will have enough support to get to Gov. Terry Branstad’s desk this session.

A three-member House education subcommittee gave unanimous approval for a bill that’s slightly different than one approved later in the day by a full education committee in the Senate.

Lawmakers in both chambers said they recognize the bills are different now, but they expect to amend them before they’re up for full votes. They also expressed some hope the legislation, which has failed in the past, could advance this year.

“We’re trying to do a lot of the work on the front end, and I think that’s helpful,” said Rep. Quentin Stanerson, R-Center Point, who was on the House subcommittee Wednesday.

Despite the optimistic remarks, it’s still unclear whether the legislation — which covers everything from whether parents should always be notified of bullying to whether social media should be monitored — will have enough bipartisan support.

Deadline near, deal sets up Homeland Security vote The Associated Press

AP Photo Secretary of State John Kerry testifies on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday before the House Appropriations subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations and Related Agencies. Kerry has implored skeptical senators not to criticize nuclear negotiations with Iran before a deal can be crafted, but he’s certain to get another round of questions about the sensitive talks from members of the House.

Representatives grill Kerry on aspects of Iran nuclear talks The Associated Press WA S H I N G T O N — Secretary of State John Kerry played defense Wednesday on Capitol Hill, fielding dozens of questions from lawmakers worried about what Iran could get in a deal being negotiated to block its ability to make an atomic weapon.

California Republican Rep. Ed Royce, chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Kerry at a hearing that members of the panel have serious concerns about the direction of the more than 1-year-old talks, which are at a critical juncture. Negotiators are rushing to try to meet a March 31 deadline for a framework agreement between Iran and the U.S. and five other world powers.

“I’m hearing less about dismantlement and more about the performance of Iran’s nuclear program,” Royce told Kerry. “That’s particularly disturbing when you consider that international inspectors report that Iran has still not revealed its past bomb work.”

New York Rep. Elliot Engel, the ranking Democrat on the committee, expressed skepticism too.

Engel noted news stories claiming that negotiators are willing to ease limits on Iran’s enrichment production during the later years of an accord in order to bridge the differences between the two sides over how long an agreement should last.

“We’re hearing troubling reports on the scale and duration of the program that Iran

may be allowed as part of a deal,” Engel said.

The secretary testified in the House two days after returning to Washington from the latest round of talks in Geneva. U.S. and Iranian officials reported progress on getting to a deal that would clamp down on Tehran’s nuclear activities for at least 10 years but would then slowly ease restrictions.

Any comprehensive pact could ease 35 years of U.S-Iranian enmity — and seems within reach for the first time in more than a decade of negotiations.

Royce said the U.N’s International Atomic Energy Agency is worried about the scope of Iranian military-related activities, including its work in designing a nuclear payload for a missile.

WAYS TO CUT YOUR WINTER ENERGY COSTS

WA S H I N G T O N — Three days before a partial Homeland Security shutdown, lawmakers cleared the way Wednesday for Senate passage of legislation to fund the agency without immigration-related provisions opposed

by President Barack Obama.

Approval in the Senate would send the issue to the House, where some conservatives derided the plan as a surrender to the White House. Other Republicans predicted it would clear, but Speaker John Boehner declined to say if he would put it to a vote.

“I’m waiting for the Senate to act. The House has done their

job,” he said at a news conference where he repeatedly sidestepped questions about his plans.

Increasingly, though, it appeared the only alternative to House acceptance of the Senate measure — or perhaps a short-term funding bill — was the partial shutdown of a federal department with major anti-terrorism responsibilities — and the likelihood the GOP would shoulder whatever political blame resulted.

The developments in Congress unfolded as Obama met at the White House with immigration activists before departing for a speech in Florida, where more than 23 percent of the population is of Hispanic descent. One

person attending the meeting, Frank Sharry quoted Obama as saying Republicans were engaging in “kabuki” to appease conservatives who adamantly oppose presidential directives that would allow more than 4 million immigrants to remain in the country without threat of deportation even though they came to the country illegally.

Later, in Florida, Obama predicted his administration would win a victory at the appeals court in its bid to overturn a ruling that has blocked his immigration policies from taking effect. “If we don’t, we’ll take it up from there,” he said, apparently referring to an appeal to the Supreme Court.

3 in NY, Florida accused of plot to join Islamic State group The Associated Press NEW YORK — Three men were arrested Wednesday on charges of plotting to travel to Syria to join the Islamic State group and wage war against the United States, and federal officials said one of them spoke of shooting President Barack Obama or planting a bomb on Coney Island.

Akhror Saidakhmetov was arrested at Kennedy Airport, where he was attempting to board a flight to Istanbul, authorities said. Abdurasul Hasanovich Juraboev had a ticket to travel to Istanbul next month and was arrested in Brooklyn, federal prosecutors said. The two were held

without bail after a brief court appearance.

A third defendant, Abror Habibov, is accused of helping fund Saidakhmetov’s efforts and was ordered held without bail in Florida.

The three are charged with attempt and conspiracy to provide material support to a terrorist organization. If convicted, each faces a maximum of 15 years in prison.

“This is real,” New York Police Department Commissioner William Bratton said. “This is the concern about the lone wolf, inspired to act without ever going to the Mideast.”

The Department of Justice has charged roughly 20 people in the

past year with planning to travel to the Middle East to fight alongside militants like the Islamic State group. Federal officials have been concerned about Americans going overseas to train with these groups and returning with plots to carry out attacks at home.

Federal prosecutors say Juraboev, 24, first came to the attention of law enforcement in August, when he posted on an Uzbek-language website that propagates the Islamic State ideology.

“Greetings! We too want to pledge our allegiance and commit ourselves while not present there,” he wrote, according to federal authorities.

Newton’s Travis to play football for St. Ambrose

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High senior Jordan Travis made an impact on both sides of the football for the Cardinals last fall.

Travis is going offense as he moves into college football. Travis signed a letter of intent Tuesday to play football at St. Ambrose University in Davenport. St. Ambrose is a NAIA program and plays in the Mid-States Football Association.

“The football program is top-notched and the facilities are the best I’ve seen,” Travis said of St. Ambrose.

Travis is a 6-foot5 inch and 205-pound tight end. He caught 13 passes for 180 yards and one touchdown for Newton as a senior. He also was a lead blocker for the Cardinals’ run-

ning game.

“I think I can be a vertical threat-type tight end and be able to spread out and go up against a 5-foot-10 inch or 6-foot cornerback, or go down the seam and they can throw up the ball and I can go up and catch it,” Travis said.

St. Ambrose went 5-5 in 2014 and 2-3 in the MSFA. Under head coach Mike Magistrelli, the Fighting Bees have gone 55-30 the past eight years. St. Ambrose has won three conference champions and made four appearances in the NAIA playoffs in that span.

Travis was named to the Class 3A District 6 All-District Team after Newton’s 7-4 campaign in the 2014 season. The Cardinals ended the season in the second round of the 3A playoffs. It was the first time

in the playoffs for Newton since 2012.

Travis played tight end on offense and defensive end for the Cardinals. He is a three-

year starter at defensive end. He led Newton in tackles with 47 solo stops and 11 assisted tackles, which ranked him 14th in District 6.

He had seven tackles for loss and five solo quarterback sacks.

Travis said he plans to pursue a degree in accounting at St. Am-

brose. He is the son of Jim Travis of Newton.

Dr. Jessen featured as Hometown Hawkeye Special to Newton Daily News Thomas Jessen’s decision to pursue a career in medicine followed the influence of his time as an undergraduate student at the University of Iowa.

“Opportunity was everywhere, and leadership from the professors was remarkable,” said Jessen, a retired family physician in Newton.

After earning his bachelor’s and medical degrees at the UI and completing an internship and rotating residency at Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids, Mich., Jessen returned to Iowa to practice family medicine — a perfect fit for the community-oriented physician.

“I was able for 40 years to provide day-to-day, continuous medical care for a large number of patients,” Jessen said. “Those patients were able to receive quality care in a loving environment. That care was readily available and affordable. No person was rejected.”

Throughout his career, Jessen’s dedication to his patients and community has not gone unnoticed.

“Dr. Thomas Jessen is one of the few remaining doctors who, in effect, carries a black bag and makes house calls,” said Robert Suckow, a patient and friend who nominated Jessen for a DisSubmitted photo tinguished Alumni Award from This Newton Hometown Hawkeye is know as Doc on the sidelines. Dr. Thomas Jessen of Newton is the UI Carver College of Medifeatured as the University of Iowa’s Hometown Hawkeye in its recent publication emailed to legislacine, which he received last year. tors and university supporters.

Despite the continual care he already afforded his patients, as well as the service he provided as a volunteer at the Jasper County free medical clinic, Jessen’s expertise as a health care provider extended even further—he also spent much of his career serving as the Newton High School football team physician.

“For 37 years, I attended essentially all of the football games, in town and away, of both the varsity and sophomore teams at the high school. Needless to say, I gained much experience and benefited much from the opportunity,” Jessen said.

“Those young men and coaches added much to my life.”

Jessen is known in the Newton community for going the extra mile for anyone in need, including the high school students.

“I personally have taken players to his home for evaluation countless times,” said patient and former Newton High School football coach John Jenkins. “On the sideline, he could be found filling water bottles, making sure players are hydrated, and doing everything he could to make sure the team was well taken care of.

“Our team motto is ‘Character first, last, and always,’ and he sets an example of this every day,” Jenkins added. “The best kind of leader I know is one who leads by example, and that is Doc.”

White scores 29 points No. 19 Baylor upsets in Iowa’s win over Illinois IOWA CITY (AP) — Aaron White remembers how Iowa limped down the stretch last season. The senior doesn’t want to let it happen again.

White scored a career-high 29 points — including 14 straight during a key stretch in the second half to give the Hawkeyes the lead — in a 68-60 win over Illinois on Wednesday.

Iowa (18-10, 9-6 Big Ten) has won three straight games heading into March.

“I had this weird feeling before the game that something special was going to happen tonight,” White said. “I was just in the zone.”

Rayvonte Rice scored 20 points to lead Illinois (17-11, 7-8), which made only one field goal in the final five minutes. Ahmad Starks matched a career high with 19 points on five 3-pointers.

White hit a career-best three 3-pointers, made 10 of 12 free throws and grabbed nine rebounds.

The forward scored 20 points in the second half — including all of Iowa’s points during a 5.5-minute stretch. White made four straight shots and four free throws to flip the game’s momentum.

No. 12 Iowa State

AMES (AP) — Iowa State’s Big 12 title hopes are suddenly in big trouble.

Taurean Prince scored 20 points and 19th-ranked Baylor upset No. 12 Iowa State on the road 79-70 for its third straight win on Wednesday night.

The Bears (21-7, 9-6 Big 12) shot 14 of 26 from 3-point range and hit their last seven, becoming the first team other than Kansas to win in Ames since 2012.

As a result, the Cyclones are now a game behind the Jayhawks in the Big 12 race with three games left to play.

Jameel McKay had a career-high 21 points for Iowa State (20-7, 10-5), which followed up road wins at Oklahoma State and Texas with its first home loss of the year.

“They got it going on us early again, and I just didn’t think our urgency coming out of the gate was very good,” Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg said. “You would have thought with the week that we had and what was at stake that we would have come out of the locker room with great urgency.”

No. 10 Northern Iowa beats Evansville

Continued from Page 1B “It was huge,” Iowa coach Fran McCaffery said. “It gave us a little bit of separation.”

Wednesday’s result had significant postseason implications for two teams fighting in the middle of the standings in the rugged Big Ten. Iowa rebounded from tough losses against Minnesota and at Northwestern with three straight wins. The Hawkeyes are 1.5 games out, with three remaining, from a double-bye in the new Big Ten tournament format.

Illinois is falling in the other direction. The Illini dropped their third game in a row and missed an opportunity for a quality road win to improve their NCAA tournament chances.

Illinois shot only 25 percent in the second half and lost despite shooting 15 of 16 from the foul line. The Illini scored 14 points off turnovers in the first half and none in the second.

“We weren’t very smart tonight,” Illinois coach Jon Groce said. “We did not execute very well.”

Jarrod Uthoff added six points and 10 rebounds for the Hawkeyes.

Illinois guards Kendrick Nunn and Malcom Hill were held to a combined nine points on 4-of-21 shooting.

The Hawkeyes ended the first half on a 7-2 run to lead 33-32 at halftime. Iowa struggled offensively most of the first half, making

only one field goal during a nineminute span that put Illinois ahead.

McCaffery lauded the game’s atmosphere and fans who trekked to Carver-Hawkeye Arena despite slippery road conditions from a winter storm. A small, but loud contingent of Illinois’ Orange

Krush student section even made the 240-mile trip from Champaign. White surpassed B.J. Armstrong for fourth on Iowa’s all-time scoring with an alley-oop dunk late in the first half.

Iowa travels to Penn State on Saturday.

Drake loses to Loyola-Chicago in OT DES MOINES (AP) — Earl Peterson scored 20 points and Jeff White hit backto-back jumpers in the final two minutes of overtime to help

Loyola of Chicago hold off Drake, 80-75 on Wednesday night.

The victory clinches the No. 6 seed in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament for

Loyola (17-12, 7-10) and a berth in the conference quarterfinals.

Drake (9-20, 6-11) finishes seventh and will play an opening round tournament game.

Both teams shot well from the field. Loyola was 32 of 52 (61.5 percent), including 8 of 14 from distance. Drake was 30 of 53 (56.6 percent), with nine 3’s.

CEDAR FALLS (AP) — Deon Mitchell scored 17 points and No. 10 Northern Iowa beat Evansville 68-57 on Wednesday night, setting up a showdown with 11th-ranked Wichita State for the Missouri Valley title.

Paul Jesperson added 11 points for the Panthers (27-2, 16-1 MVC), who are tied with the Shockers atop the conference. The two teams will meet Saturday in Wichita for the regular season championship and the top spot in the league tournament.

After Evansville went on a 13-1 run early in the second half to cut the Panthers lead to 4540 with 12:02 left, the Panthers scored eight straight over the next 2:54 to put the game away.

D.J. Balentine had 16 Points to lead Evansville (19-10, 9-8).

Egidijius Mockevicius had his 17th doubledouble of the season for

the Purple Aces with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

Leading 36-24 at the half, the Panthers stretched their advantage to 17 at with 16:29 left in the game on a layup from Marvin Singleton. The Aces would draw within 45-40 on Mislav Brzoja’s layup with 12:09 left, but the Panthers would go on a 15-4 run over the next 5:23 to stretch their lead back to 16 on an acrobatic dunk from Tuttle.

The Aces could get no closer than 11.

Northern Iowa: UNI held Senior Night for five seniors: Nate Buss, Max Martino, Deon Mitchell, Marvin Singleton and Seth Tuttle.

All save for Martino play significant minutes for the Panthers, which is why Wednesday served as a reminder of the rebuilding job Ben Jacobson will have next winter.

Northern Iowa and Wichita State face off on Saturday.

ISU Continued from Page 1B Baylor hit five straight 3-pointers late in a span of just 2:38, the last two by Prince, to take a 72-66 lead with 4:41 left. Its defense made sure the edge stuck.

“We just didn’t stay together as a team,” McKay said. “We stopped communicating. We lost our commitments, which led to open shots.

Iowa State and Baylor staged one of the best games in the Big 12 this season back on Jan. 14.

The Bears squandered a 28-11 lead, but rallied for a 74-73 win on Kenny Chery’s jumper with four seconds left.

The rematch was in doubt until the Bears got rolling from beyond the arc.

Bryce Dejean-Jones gave the Cyclones a 50-48 lead by leaping over a foot above the rim for a spectacular put-back dunk, and Georges Niang found McKay for an alley-oop dunk pushed the edge to 60-54 with 8:28 left.

But Baylor held Iowa State to just four points in the final 6:26, and its hot streak helped the Bears sweep the Cyclones for the first time.

“You’re not going to do that a lot on the road. We made a lot of shots,” Drew said. “The other thing is we continued to compete.”

Chery had 15 points and seven assists for the Bears.

Niang had 14 points and Matt Thomas scored 13 for Iowa State.

Thomas has scored 30 points off the bench in his last two games, but all he could focus on was improving his defensive effort.

“The way I guarded was absolutely embarrassing,” Thomas said.

Iowa State travels to Kansas State on Saturday.

Astrograph Thursday, Feb. 26, 2015

All world leaders have a headquarters where their (slightly better looking) image is displayed in statue or painting to let everyone know how important they are. Even if you’re only the leader of your desk, social media page or other relatively limited domain, the Gemini moon of communication suggests you carefully consider the image you post.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 16). Your head and heart are in the right place now, so take action. The rewards will be delayed just enough to make them sweet for you. In April, you’ll accept the responsibilities that go along with your goal and get someone’s love as a bonus. You’ll win a contest in June. September brings a career breakthrough. Capricorn and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 22, 38 and 50.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). An interesting and very beneficial person will come into your mix. This is someone you’ll get to know best on a one-on-one basis,

so arrange to meet outside of the group setting.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Don’t waste time worrying about whether your teammates are strong enough. Focus instead on communicating well. You can do a fantastic job with an average team if you’re all on the same page.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll witness amateur social moves: walking into the glass door, conversations dominated by detailed descriptions of a television show, epic drink spills, etc.

If you don’t laugh, you’ll win loyalty and friendship.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You could be socially impeccable if you wanted to be, but what’s the fun in that? Take risks. If you’re not making any weird mistakes, you’re not forming the bonds you could be.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The tyrannosaurus rex is a strange mystery. So ferocious, but why such tiny arms? And did it have feathers or scales? You may never know, but with

a little digging, you may find answers to a different powerful mystery today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). At your heart, you want them to like you. But today it’s so important that certain people respect you first and foremost. You might have to change your mode from “friendly” to “slightly intimidating.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). No matter what you do, there are certain people in this world who think of you as a fresh-faced youth.

That can be wonderful, even though there are times when you really want to be taken seriously as an adult.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You suspect what the truth is, though part of your mind is busy spinning alternative versions that favor your worldview and the reality you wish for. Face facts later -- now is for living in the possibilities.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s like you are standing at the intersection of life pushing the “walk” button with no results.

Keep pushing until that light comes on, and you can influence the traffic pattern to let you cross this one safely.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your ruling planet, Jupiter, with its massive gravitational pull, sucks many asteroids into its orbit that otherwise might have been a danger to Earth. There’s a person who will protect you in much the same way today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You can never go back. You can physically put yourself there, but it’s just not the same, and so you’re not really back. Today’s gift is being as close to “back” as possible.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Everyone is discussing a new topic, and you won’t have much to say on the matter until after you’ve given yourself time alone to think about what you’ve heard. In other words, your best thinking will happen after the fact.
