Union: Prison staffing levels at dangerous levels AFSCME calls for staffing to be returned to former levels

McBroom’s first time tasting frog leg came during Goldie’s first Leap Day marketing campaign in 2012. Now, it’s officially a tradition for the Des Moines friends.

Goldie’s fried frog legs become an every four-year tradition

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News PRAIRIE CITY — For the 1 in 1,461 people on Earth unfortunate enough to be born on Feb. 29, Leap Day is the only chance to celebrate their birthday on the proper calender day or be forced to wait three more 365.25 day trips around the sun.

But for foodies like Soozie McBroom and Chris Deibel of Des Moines, it’s a rare chance to bite into the mother of love-itor-leave-it Leap Day delicacies — frog legs. Goldie’s Ice Cream Shoppe has hopped on that trend and served the French food favorite Monday for the second Leap Day in a row. Famously known for one of the best breaded pork tenderloins in Iowa, Goldie’s owner and operator Brad Magg marketed the Feb. 29 special via Facebook and word-of-mouth,

Inmates at the Correctional Release Center — Newton Correctional Facility’s minimum-security half, devoted to inmates in the final stages of short or medium-length sentences — are not permitted to leave the grounds on their own at any time. If they work offsite, they are to be picked up and supervised by their employer’s trained staff.

Inmates at this facility should be supervised by DOC or their employer at all times.

“The escape of these two individuals is a serious matter,” Homan said. “Five years ago, the Department of Corrections discontinued running an aroundthe-clock perimeter vehicle patrol around the Correctional Release Center at Newton Correctional Facility due to low staffing levels. After this escape on Saturday, the perimeter was finally reinstituted on Sunday.”

Fred Scaletta, communications director for the Department of Corrections, said there are no plans to directly address the AFSCME’s concerns.

City increases tax levy 95 cent hike approved in city budget

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A 95 cent increase in the city tax levy was approved Monday along with a $27 million operating budget for the City of Newton.

The Newton City Council approved the hike to pay for costs associated with bonded capital expenditures on major projects and equipment, such as a new fire engine and improvements to Westwood Golf Course. The increase on the levy brings the total to $17.50 per $1,000 eval-

The budget retains current staffing levels while adding a full-time firefighter position. It also continues to meet the city’s target of an undesignated fund balance of 25 percent of revenues to keep as reserves.

The city council met on three

separate occasions to review and discuss the 2016-2017 operating budget. No major projects were introduced to be funded in the coming year, as the city is continuing work from the past couple years.

Farm vehicle safety meeting set for March 16 Newton Daily News Farmers can learn and ask questions with Iowa law enforcement regarding rules and regulations on the farm use of vehicles at a March 16 free program, set to be held at

Newton DMACC. The Jasper County Farm Bureau encourages all farmers to be in the know on regulations and rules that govern agricultural transport and farm equipment. Law enforcement agencies will be represented at

the March 16 event to discuss all aspects of farm equipment regulations, with a focus on licensing, SMV and how roadway safety are enforced.

Lunch will be served at noon with the program beginning at 12:30 p.m. and

running until approximately 2 p.m.

Additional topics for discussion will include licensing for agriculture, livestock or commercial hauling; when a CDL is required; special agricultural considerations; Polar-

is Ranger, golf cart and other ATV farm use and vehicle weights and requirements.

To assist the Jasper County Farm Bureau in planning the lunch, RSVP to the office by calling 641-792-6253 or email to Jasper.County@ifbf.org.

Iowa Conservation Farmer of the Year nominations now open

Russia’s soybean restriction part of nation’s resource independence Caps on imports of U.S. corn, soybean imports announced Feb. 11

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The Russian government announced Feb. 11 it will be “restricting” American corn and soybean imports due to what it calls methods that don’t adequately prevent pest infestations.

It’s part of Russia’s overall movement toward being less resource-dependent on other nations — especially the U.S. According to the USDA Foreign Agriculture Service, The Russian Federation announced Feb. 15 would be the start date of temporarily imposed government restrictions on corn or soybeans that originated in the U.S. Russia’s Federal Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance Service says it conducted phone negotiations with the U.S. on Feb. 9 regarding violations of international and Russian phytosanitary requirements in shipments of corn and soybeans to the territory of the Russian Federation. The federation’s statement, issued two days later, indicated officials were not pleased.

“Unfortunately, the U.S. side did not undertake effective measures for preventing delivery of mentioned quarantined products contaminated with quarantine pests to the territory of the Russian Federation,” the statement said. “In this situation, VPSS is forced to impose temporary restrictions on

the import, including transit through third countries, of corn and soybeans originating from the United States of America to the Russian Federation, starting Feb. 15, taking into account the lack of appropriate system of phytosanitary control of corn and soybeans in the U.S.” The restrictions are meant to address quarantine pests not found in Russia in compliance with the International Plant Protection Convention and the Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures.

U.S. popcorn exports to Russia were valued at nearly $6 million in 2014 and dropped approximately 30 percent in 2015.

The embargo is the latest twist on strained relations that have involved agriculture between the two nations through the years.

After the then-U.S.S.R. invaded Afghanistan in 1979, President Jimmy Carter responded by banning the export of grain and technology to the Soviet Union in January 1980 — part of a response that also included the nations boycotting each others’ Summer Olympics hosted in 1980 and 1984.

The grain embargo was lifted by Ronald Reagan in April 1981.

Russian President Vladimir Putin had already announced new food import restrictions in August 2014. In other years, Russia also banned the import

of American turkey meat, beef and pork over the use of the feed additive ractopamine.

The Russian agricultural ministry says its grain production will increase by 25 percent over the next 15 years to 130 million tons as a part of the strategic development of the cereals market. Domestic grain consumption is expected to increase by 17.5 percent to 81.1 million tons due to a boost in livestock breeding and processing of raw grain into products as starch or syrups.

Russia expects to control over 10 percent of the global grain market boosting exports by 61 percent to 48.3 million tons.

Putin told the Russian Parliament late last year the nation is doing well in terms of growing and exporting more food than it’s importing.

“Ten years ago, we imported almost half of the food from abroad, and were dependent on imports,” Putin said. “Last year (2014), Russian exports of agricultural products amounted to almost $20 billion — a quarter more than the revenue from the sale of arms, or onethird the revenue coming from gas exports. We are not only able to feed ourselves taking into account our lands, water resources. Russia is able to become the largest world supplier of healthy, ecologically clean and high-quality food — which the Western producers have long lost.”

DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey is encouraging Iowans to nominate deserving farmers for the 2016 Iowa Conservation Farmer of the Year Award. The award is given out each year to one statewide winner who is making outstanding contributions towards soil conservation and water quality. The award is sponsored by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship and the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation.

To nominate a deserving farmer, the nominator needs to write a brief letter (100 words or less) and submit it to their local Soil and Water Conservation District office. Nominations must be submitted by June 5.

Upon receipt of the nomination letter, the District will then help complete the full application.

Farmers, farm managers, Certified Crop Advisors, agribusiness and financial professionals, ag organizations, and other interested Iowans are encouraged to nominate deserving farmers.

A SWCD directory is available on the Department’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov under “Hot Topics.”

Herbicides effect cover crop establishment

By Jason Johnson USDA Iowa Natural Resources Iowa farmers planted an estimated 500,000 cover crop acres last year, and although that record number is expected to increase in 2016, many of those farmers struggle to find a foolproof way to get consistent cover crop establishment.

Lack of rainfall and cool temperatures are cover crop growth obstacles which can’t be controlled, but one thing that can be controlled is choosing the right herbicide this spring to reduce potentially injuring cover crops in the fall.

“What herbicide you choose this spring will definitely have an effect on success with cover crops in the fall,” said Barb Stewart, state agronomist with USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service in Des Moines. “In most cases there is a short time period between cover crop planting date and the onset of cooler fall temperatures, which increases the risk that herbicides pose to cover crops.”

According to Iowa State University’s “Effect of Residual Herbicides on Cover Crop Establishment” (Hartzler and Anderson, Feb. 20, 2015), the threat posed by herbicide to cover crop establishment is determined by: the chemical’s half-life and availability in the soil, sensitivity of cover crop species, herbicide application rate and date, and environmental conditions throughout the growing season.

Hartzler and Anderson conducted greenhouse experiments of five cover crop species evaluating several herbicides commonly used in Iowa corn and soybean production. Radishes tended to be the most sensitive cover crop evaluated, while cereal rye was the most tolerant to herbicides.

Stewart says livestock producers who use cover crops for livestock forage should also consider restrictions on labels of herbicides used earlier in the growing season.

Iowa State University’s “Herbicide Use May Restrict Grazing Options for Cover Crops” (CROP 3082, December 2015) includes tables that list herbicide products that allow the establishment of cover crops for grazing or forage harvest during the same cropping season as application.

they’ve perfected their batter this year. It’s wonderful. It really does taste like chicken.”

Magg’s idea to sell frog legs on Leap Day started as tonguein-cheek, but the traditional French food is now officially an every Leap Magg Day tradition for the small Prairie City tenderloin and ice cream shoppe.

“We did it last leap year as a joke, just for something fun to do, and it set the record for the best-selling special we’ve every had,” Magg said.

Before the doors opened this Feb. 29, six people were already waiting in line to take the leap and try Goldie’s deep-fried frog legs. Magg said eager eaters were calling from as far as Pella and Waukee asking to save a few frog legs and ensure the hoppers wouldn’t sell out before they made the 45 minute drive for lunch.

On Leap Day 2012, the special nearly jumped out the door, with more than 50 servings sold by the noon lunch hour. Magg only prepped 25 to 30 servings four years ago, underestimating how popular the niche frog legs would be.

This unexpected surge sent Magg’s mother Marilee Magg to Des Moines where she bought out every Asian food market in the metro. This year, the Maggs were prepared for the frog race, purchasing 30 pounds of legs from their meat distributor with another 30 pounds on standby.

But as popular as the dish is for his customers, the small town chef with an education in culinary arts is not keen on frog legs.

“Mom’s the taste tester because I don’t eat them. But she loves them,” Magg said. “If I didn’t know it was frog I’d probably love them. They do taste pretty much like chicken, but it’s a mental thing.”

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The city’s progress in the area of economic development, including areas where the plan is falling behind, were presented to the city council in the second update of the essential purposes in the 2015-2017 strategic acUmsted tion plan.

Economic development is one of four essential purposes the city identified as a part of the action plan that serves as a detailed guide of what city staff is working on to further the city’s goals.

“This action plan is a little different than our other action plan items because it really does involve those other partner agencies. You’ll see a lot of activity from Main Street or the Newton Development Corporation or some of the

other nonprofit organizations that we work with in this area,” senior analyst Natalie Umsted said.

Areas where the plan is moving forward include the South Second Avenue reconstruction project, which incorporates the streetscape design collaboration with Newton Main Street and approved by the council.

Also, a shared strategies document for economic development was adopted by the city as well as six other community organizations including the NDC, Newton Main Street, the Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Newton Housing Development Corporation, the Newton Chamber of Commerce and Hometown Pride.

Umsted also addressed two areas where the plan is falling behind. The first goal behind schedule is recruiting new stores and restaurants.

“There is interest in Newton from a number of retailers and staff is actively working with property owners and developers to find the appropriate

business sites and investors for those projects,” Umsted said.

Within that goal, the area that is specifically behind schedule is the commercial corridor master plan and exit 164 planning. “(The city) has been more focused on development and redevelopment of key parcels and not a broad master plan at this time,” Umsted said.

Umsted followed up by saying this may be an instance when the city might want to reevaluate the action plan and amend it.

“A year ago when we were looking at our strategy and the strategy we have right now may be a little bit misaligned,” Umsted said.

A second goal Umsted said they are behind on is the leveraging of Newton’s status as a Skilled Iowa community.

“Through collaborative meetings with employers, educators, as well as development agencies it has been determined that Newton has not yet gained enough progress to

activity promote as a Skilled Iowa community. Instead we are refocusing toward skills that are associated with STEM work,” Umsted said.

The purpose of the economic development essential goal is to build a strong economic base with high-quality jobs. This is to be accomplished by creating a vibrant downtown, attracting business growth around the interstate interchanges, assisting local business with expansion and growing the population and strengthening the community by attracting young families and retaining existing residents.

The next essential purpose to be presented to the council in March is high quality of life with effective, efficient democratic governance following in April. The cycle will then start over in May with a third visit to the purpose of making Newton a safe community.

Keeping Me on My Toes

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | March 1, 2016

Six days. Six days have passed and finally both of my children are fever free. I wasn’t sure if this day would come.

I knew we might have some problems when I dropped them off at daycare a week ago and my provider told me several kids were out sick with the flu. She then said most of them had been down and out for several days, some up to a week.

I took a deep breath, crossed my fingers and hoped we would be OK. Well, none of that worked and the next day my youngest’s temperature was climbing in the thermometer, and I knew we were in for it.

I held on to small pieces of hope my oldest would plow through and not be tak-

Getting back to healthy

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

en down, even though she is surrounded by kids every day at school who have been sick or probably had siblings who had been sick. My hopes were dashed the next day when she woke up with a fever as well.

Every other time my girls have been sick there has been an obvious reason — ear infection, pink eye, bronchitis just to name a few. Those can all be treated with medication and we are usually back to healthy in a couple of days.

Not this flu. The only symptom the girls had was a fever. That made them tired and not very excited to eat anything. I was quite successful in maintaining their liquid intake through juice, water and chocolate milk.

Three days passed and I

thought we were doing quite a bit better. My youngest didn’t have a fever and my oldest was pretty chipper, so off to activities they went. It wasn’t but a few hours later they ended up right back in bed with medicine and sleep waiting for them.

After our brief setback, I decided bed rest or at least staying home and resting was in order. My husband was in charge over the weekend and had strict orders to stay home, try to get them to eat and rest as much as possible.

I have to say he did a pretty good job as reports back included many naps, early bed times and meals that consisted of more than a chip or one bite of an apple.

As the new week ap-

proached, both girls seem to be on the mend and ready to get back to normal activities.

Both were sent out into the world, and I just hope they don’t bring back the newest bug for another round.

One bright spot for this mommy while her kiddos were sick was the extra cuddles I get, this time two at a time. I hate when they are down and out because they are so much more fun and happy when they can run around and get excited about the littlest things. But having a girl on each side wanting to be right up next to you is pretty sweet, too.

Trump supporters: ‘You’ll be sorry!’

State View

Midpoint of Legislature brings floor debate We’ve officially reached the mid-point of the 2016 legislative session. After last week’s heavy committee work to keep bills eligible for the year, our work has shifted to floor debate so bills can get sent over to the Senate for consideration.

Most of the bills approved this week were non-controversial and dealt with a host of By Dan Kelley Iowa technical issues Representative related to local governments, agriculture and small businesses or LLC’s. I worked hard to pass a bill to modernize agricultural land-lease agreements. This bill, and most, passed this week with near unanimous bi-partisan support. However, I’m disappointed we didn’t take any action this week on the two key issues we face this year related to public school funding and Medicaid privatization.

In addition, I’m working with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to pass legislation this year to ensure the safety of drug endangered children. I am strongly in favor of legislation to protect these vulnerable kids.

The link between parental substance abuse and child maltreatment is well-documented and undeniable. Children whose parents abuse drugs are three times more likely to be abused and four times more likely to be

neglected than children from a home without drug addiction.

There are decades of research that suggest children who grow up in homes with drug addiction are more likely to experience issues concerning safety, health, development and future success.

We also know addiction often clouds the decisions a parent makes concerning the well-being of their child. That is why it is important to have a safety net in place to ensure the needs of Drug Endangered Children are being met.

Under current Iowa law, if a concerned citizen called Iowa’s Child Abuse Hotline regarding a child living in a home with a single parent whom they suspected was using heroin, Department of Human Services is unable to fully investigate the allegation. DHS cannot contact law enforcement to see if the parent or the home is being investigated for illegal drug activity, DHS cannot require the parent or the child be tested for illegal drugs, and DHS cannot require the child be seen by a health care provider. This type of case coordination is only allowed when the allegation involves parental methamphetamine use and the child under six years old, or if there is an allegation that illegal drugs are being sold from the home. Because children who are exposed to a parent’s heroin or cocaine abuse are in just as much danger as those exposed to meth, we must change the law in order

to have necessary information to make a determination of the child’s safety.

This is why I support the current efforts in the Iowa Legislature to provide the tools necessary to accurately assess the safety of Drug Endangered Children. House File 2206, would allow for a child abuse assessment on all cases involving Drug Endangered Children. Unfortunately, the bill did not survive the funnel process because the majority parties, Republicans in the House and Democrats in the Senate, didn’t approve it. However, I’ll continue to advocate for protection of Drug Endangered Children.

I am working to find solutions.

There are simply too many Iowa children at risk to allow this issue to remain unaddressed for another year.

The Jasper County Drug Endangered Children (DEC) Team, comprised of professionals from various disciplines who are involved in the protection of children, brought this issue to my attention. I share their concern about the current state of the law and the barriers in protecting Drug Endangered Children.

We all have a role in protecting Iowa’s most vulnerable citizens, and as a State Representative I do all I can to make a difference in the lives of drug endangered, and all kids, in Jasper County and throughout Iowa.

I had a friend who worked as a guard in a state prison.

“It’s amazing how these g u y s think,” he told me one morni n g , when we were both off w o r k a n d By Marc Dion drinking coffee in a diner across the street from an abandoned paper box factory.

“The prisoners,” he said. “They don’t think like we do. Everything is somebody else’s fault.”

I kept drinking coffee and let him tell his story.

“The other day, they’re lined up to get their meds,” he said.

“You can’t let ‘em keep their own pills ‘cause they’d crush ‘em up and snort ‘em or sell ‘em or take ‘em all at once.

“And one of the guys, he’s in line to get his meds and he doesn’t have a shirt on.

“So I tell him, ‘You can’t be in line without a shirt. You gotta go back to your cell and get your shirt and put it on.’

“Guy starts raisin’ all kinds of hell with me,” my friend said, as the waitress gave him a refill on his coffee. “He’s tellin’ me it’s hot and he doesn’t wanna wear a shirt and he doesn’t wanna go all the way back to his cell and it’s not a fair rule.

“I tell him there’s nothing I can do about it, it’s just the rule and, if he wants his meds, he’s gonna have to go back to his cell and get his shirt.”

My prison guard buddy started laughing.

“So, the guy looks at me and he says, ‘Well, then I’m just not going

to take my meds!’”

“Like I’m his mother or somethin’,” my friend said to me. “What do I care if he takes his meds?

What am I gonna do, be sad if he dies?”

“But that’s how they think,” he said. “Nothing’s their fault. They shoot dope and they molest kids and they rob old ladies and they get arrested and locked up and it’s just everybody picking on ‘em. And they think that if they don’t take their meds and they die, that’s gonna be somebody else’s fault, too. They just wanna destroy everybody else and themselves ‘cause things ain’t goin’ their way.”

I paid for my friend’s breakfast. As I remember, it was $5.75 for two pancakes, sausage and coffee. I paid because I knew I’d use his story someday. Just because you pick a story up in the street doesn’t mean you shouldn’t at least look around for somebody to pay.

I watch the disappointed, angry voters line up for Trump, line up in a country with stagnant middle- and working-class incomes, watch them line up in a country where people with a high school diploma can’t find a union job, watch them line up in a country where, election after election, we vote in people who let us keep our guns and our God while they take everything else.

And I hear voices saying, “I’m not gonna take my meds. I’m gonna vote for Trump. I’ll do it. I really will. You’ll be sorry.”

Letter to the Editor

Kelley supports veterans issues James Pullen Newton I’m a soldier. I have fought overseas.

I am personally offended when local officials like Doug

Bishop try to speak for all veterans like me in order to influence elections. It’s time to put an end to this childish self-promotion.

There’s no king of Jasper County and certainly no kingmaker.

Vote for Dan Kelley. Make

sure our statehouse seat belongs to all of us. We don’t need a state representative handpicked by Bishop, a self-appointed political party boss.

As a veteran and a friend of Rep. Dan Kelley’s, I can tell you he has always supported veterans like me. His support

Obituaries Dorena Marshall Feb. 28, 2015 Apparently the book club in heaven was getting a little dull because God inv i t e d Dorena to join S u n d a y, Feb. 28, 2016, after she lost her courageous battle with leukemia. As she did with anything she was a part of, Dorena is sure to bring her own quirky sense of humor and witty puns to the Pearly Gates Book Club.

Dorena Joy Dryer was born March 13, 1952, to Darrell and Betty (Stevens) Dryer. She grew up in Newton, and she and Gary graduated with the class of 1970.

She invited Gary to the Sadie Hawkins Dance their senior year. They became high school sweethearts and married in 1971. Dorena attended Grand View College for one year.

Gary’s draft number was 35 so they moved to Hampton, Va., where Gary was trained as a military policeman for the U.S. Army, and Dorena had their son Brian. After a few years, they returned to Newton, and had their daughter Jody. Gary’s training in the military led him to the Newton Police Department for

Glen L. Britt Feb. 25, 2016 Glen L. Britt, 93, of Colfax, passed away Feb. 25, 2016, surrounded by his loved ones. A funeral service will be at 10 a.m.

Wednesd a y , March 2 at Merle Hay Funeral Home. A visitation will take place from 5 to 7

24 years, then to the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office for seven years.

Dorena was very proud to be a policeman’s wife and was active in the local Newton Police Wives Auxiliary and the Iowa State Policemen’s Association Auxiliary. She especially loved the numerous weekends to state conventions all over Iowa.

Once Dorena put on bowling shoes, her competitive spirit came out. If she didn’t have the highest average in her beloved Thursday Morning Welcome Wagon League, she was practicing on the off-days. A huge perk of this league was the many luncheons enjoyed at Julie Trusler’s home.

The Monday Night Bowling League was a whole different story; there was never any hope she’d have the highest average, but she had just as much fun.

The best part was going to state bowling conventions annually and trying to find the best restaurants in the area.

After her kids started school, Dorena held a variety of jobs: UAW Local 997, Maytag Consumer Science Lab, Forbes Quik Print and Principal Financial Group. To her, each job was “the best job ever,” as she relished opportunities to get to know her co-workers, join special interest clubs and learn new things.

There was never a

dull moment in Dorena’s life. Between holding various officer positions in Chapter M.E. of P.E.O., serving on Session at United Presbyterian Church, reading books for the numerous book clubs she was in, whipping up her famous scalloped corn for countless potlucks, and doting over her grandkids, Dorena kept busy and loved every minute of it.

As a 25-year breast cancer survivor, Dorena welcomed opportunities to share her experience and words of wisdom and encouragement to those facing a similar battle.

Throughout the many chapters of her life, Dorena easily made friends. From PTA moms to the moms of her kids’ friends, from other volunteers at the prison to the little ladies she visited in assisted living, Dorena brought smiles to many.

An integral part of Gary and Dorena’s social life was the Upper Room Sunday School class of their church.

There were card parties, Pictionary parties, picnics, campouts, Cubs games, Christmas caroling to shut-ins, baked potato fundraisers for youth camp scholarships, two Habitat for Humanity projects, bowling, volleyball, softball league, milestone birthday celebrations and always lots of laughs. This core group

Glen was born April 5, 1922, in Brooklyn.

He lived in the Colfax area for the majority of his life. Glen served our country in the U.S. Army during World War II where he was awarded the Purple Heart. He married Catherine Jones in 1946. Glen worked for Maytag for 32 years.

Glen is survived by his daughters, Glenda (Al) Bernard and Virginia (David) Peci-

novsky; grandchildren, Justin (Kelly) Bernard, Andrea (Scott) Atkinson, Stephanie Bernard, Carrie ( John) Deprill, Maureen (Sean) Whittmore and Jonathan (Christy) Pecinovsky; great-grandchildren, Fiona, Wyatt, Meredith, Jonah and Elizabeth; and sister, Helen Britt.

He was preceded in death by his wife, Catherine; parents, Oscar and Lucinda Britt; grandson, Adrian Pecinovsky; and five siblings.

has been a tremendous support to the entire family over the past year.

Dorena appreciated the simple things in life — a trip to the library with her grandkids, a meal at Tasty Tacos with Gary, a lunch with friends. She’ll be remembered for her love of books, word play, tacky multi-colored items and appreciation for music that only a junior high girl would like. Her family and friends are sure to miss her thoughtfulness, generosity and willingness to do whatever it took to make the life of someone else just a little bit better.

Dorena is survived by her husband, Gary; son Brian (Alisa) Marshall; daughter Jody (Mark) Stiles; grandchildren Evan and Kaden Marshall and Sadie and Sidney Stiles, all of Newton; mother Betty Dryer of Newton; sisters Connie (Dave) Horsley of Boca Raton, Fla., and Deanna ( Jeff ) Iske of Newton. She was preceded in death by her father.

A funeral service for Dorena will be at 11 a.m. Thursday, March 3 at the Wallace Family Funeral Home and Crematory. The family will greet friends from 5 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, March 2 at the funeral home.

Depressed pregnant wife is confined by abusive husband DEAR ABBY: I’m 39 and seven months’ pregnant with my husband’s only child. Since becoming pregnant, I have become somewhat withdrawn due to depression. My doctor prescribed Paxil, but my husband won’t allow me to take it. I don’t leave the house unless I absolutely need to because he accuses me of cheating on him daily.

Two nights ago he took a single female friend out to dinner and they were gone for five hours. It hurt my feelings because in my view it was disrespectful on both their parts. When they got back, I was sitting outside and she wouldn’t even come to say goodbye to me. When I asked my husband why I hadn’t been invited, he said, “Neither of us wanted you there.”

In his eyes he has done nothing wrong. He tells me I’m crazy and I need mental help. Am I wrong for being so upset? — NOT CRAZY IN TEXAS DEAR NOT CRAZY: Not at all. It appears you are married to a controlling, emotionally abusive man who may be cheating on you. One of the hallmarks of philanderers is that they will accuse the innocent partner of cheating. Feeling depressed during a pregnancy under these circumstances isn’t surprising. (If you felt any other way, you WOULDN’T be normal.)

That your doctor would prescribe an antidepressant and your husband would “not allow” you to take it is alarming. If you have close friends and family, I urge you to tell them what’s going on. And while you’re at it, contact The National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline.org) — the phone number is 1-800-7997233 — because you may need help to get safely away.

DEAR ABBY: I currently live in a situation where my husband, our two kids and I share a home with my par-

ents, two sisters and younger brother.

Sometimes it seems crowded because there is no privacy and a lack of respect.

Lately I am having a problem with my sister. Despite the fact that she and my family share the upstairs level of the home, she continues to walk around nude or in her undergarments throughout the day because she “hates” wearing clothes. At various times my family members and I have had uncomfortable encounters with her over this. I have talked to her about it repeatedly, but she refuses to cooperate.

I think it’s rude, inconsiderate and inappropriate, not to mention a completely avoidable problem. What do you think? Am I wrong for being upset that her behavior doesn’t change and the message doesn’t seem to get through to her? — CLOTHES-MINDED DEAR CLOTHES-MINDED: I agree that your sister’s behavior is inappropriate. She should not be parading around in a state of undress in front of your husband and children.

Because she has chosen to ignore your requests, enlist the help of your parents to get the message across to her.

It’s their roof she’s under, and perhaps they will have better luck.

Newton Correctional to get new warden, deputy warden Mapes, Dursky hold event to celebrate retirement

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Two longtime state employees celebrated the end of their careers at a casual event held Friday at the Newton Correctional Facility — surrounded by friends and family from many eras.

Warden Terry Mapes and deputy warden Jill Dursky both recently announced their retirements, which were effective at the end of business Monday.

Both told the Newton Daily News it was simply time to retire and there was nothing happening in the department that accelerated their retirements, and Friday was a lighthearted event typical for anyone who has worked for a state agency for decades.

Mapes served with the Iowa Department of Corrections for 38 years and Dursky for 27.

The cakes made to honor them featured some department humor and included Mapes’ 1977 date of hire.

Dursky’s daughter, Taylor, attended the event, as did Mapes’ children and many current or former corrections employees — many of whom they hadn’t seen in a long while. Sen. Chaz Allen and representatives of the Iowa Attorneys General office also attended the event, held in a conference and office area at the medium-security site of the facility.

Mapes’ career began in Fort Madison, where he spent 19 years. There, he made many friends, including Kevin Selters, a good friend who came to Newton on Friday.

The two hugged, commiserated about health concerns they’ve experienced in their 50s, and ribbed each other

Impress Bridal open for business

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Impress Bridal opened for business in Newton’s Main Street district on Monday.

The bridal store has many stylish clothing options for everyone in a wedding party, all in a familiar location.

“We’re really excited to be here and open our second shop in Newton,” owner Lara Bunker said.

Lara along with her husband Dan Bunkers had been considering opening a second location for several years.

They opened their first location, The Bridal Connection, in Ankeny in 2008.

In November, the two were approached by the Newton Development Corporation and Newton Main Street about keeping a bridal shop in Newton. All of the right pieces fell into place and the Bunkers began work on their second location.

The new location, 117 First Ave. W., will have a different feel than the Ankeny location, Lara said. It has different designer labels as well as designs by Lara herself, not available anywhere else.

Along with wedding gowns, Impress Bridal will offer tuxedos, mothers and bridesmaids dresses, accessories and as a new service

to town, will begin providing prom dresses.

“We have decided this would be a great addition to our store.

Several folks in the area I have visited with have encouraged us to add these dresses as well,” Lara said.

Impress Bridal also features the Bunkers full service travel agency, All About Romance Travel.

The business specializes in honeymoon and destination wedding travel, as well as leisure.

Lara said she is still working on finalizing the store and new merchandise is arriving ev-

ery day.

“We’re trying to get the little details,” store manager Celina Vasquez said.

Appointments at the store are available by calling 641-792-0937 or by emailing the shop at info@impressbridalia. com.

The shop will be open from noon to 5 p.m. Monday, noon to 7 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, noon to 5 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday.

potentially fatal perils below, but he held on to the railing while being assaulted.

“He took a beating,” Selters said. “That happens sometimes. Terry devoted his whole career to making sure things like that didn’t happen.

He’s very dedicated.”

Mapes, 58, has three grown children — one of whom is Jasper County Animal Rescue League Facility Manager Cori Mapes. Another is finishing the last year of college.

He said his family and their future was his primary motivation for deciding to retire this year.

“I’ve been retirement-eligible for about three years,” Mapes said. “I told the Department of Corrections about a year ago that I would stay on during the transition (from former director John Baldwin and other staff to the current leadership of director Jerry Bartruff ) until they could get a few things off their plate.”

Dursky couldn’t be reached for comment Monday.

“They’ve been encouraging her to retire for a long time,” Mapes said.

Iowa gets 32 percent of electricity from wind, leads nation DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa has become the first state in the nation to derive more than 30 percent of its electricity from wind energy.

The American Wind Energy Association says more than 31 percent of the state’s electricity came from

wind turbines last year.

South Dakota was at 25.5 percent and Kansas at 23.9 percent.

Gov. Terry Branstad says Iowa has the potential to jump above 40 percent in the next five years.

In a report released Monday the association said wind produced

more than 190 million megawatt-hours of power in the U.S. last year, enough electricity for about 17.5 million typical homes.

The goal is for the U.S. to derive 20 percent of its electricity by 2030. The nation was at 4.7 percent from wind last year.

GLORIA FAY SLUMP | AGE: 24 | DIED: MARCH 3, 1967 Hometown: Council Bluffs On Monday, March 6, 1967, Burlington Railroad employees found the frozen body of 24-year-old Gloria Fay Slump under a trestle over Pony Creek three miles south of Council Bluffs. A trail of blood showed she was dragged to the site from a county road 150 yards away. Ofcials estimated Slump died three days earlier on March 3. Slump had told friends she was going to spend the weekend with her parents, who lived in Stanton.

The Omaha brokerage house worker had been beaten, stabbed 14 times in the throat with a dull knife or an instrument similar to a beer can opener, and left under the trestle to bleed to death. There were no signs of sexual assault.

One day before Slump’s body was found, an Iowa State Highway patrolman discovered an abandoned car 150 yards east of the Pony Creek railroad bridge. Ofcials told the media it belonged to 24-year-old Jerry E. Neve of Omaha, who had been seen with the victim before she disappeared. Neve voluntarily submitted to a polygraph and was later released from the sheriff’s custody, though results of the polygraph showed deception when asked whether Neve knew Slump or had any information about her death. The FBI conducted tests on a piece of clothing discovered in Neve’s car, and later con rmed the clothing had belonged to Slump.

Matt Moran, left, plays the roles of both the scarecrow and Hunk in the play; Joseph Malsom plays both the Tin Man and Hickory; Chase Kolpin plays Zeke and the Cowardly Lion; Winston plays the role of Toto and Leah Hunter stars as Dorothy Gale.

Neve used a shotgun to commit suicide on March 11, 1967.

Neve’s stepfather, Cecil Fellows, said his stepson told him he didn’t murder Slump, but was just being a good fellow and that he was so involved he didn’t know what to do.

On June 10, 1967, Omaha Police — acting on a tip — found the victim’s coat in a hotel room once registered to Jerry Neve and Herschell Gitchell. At the time, Gitchell was awaiting trial on burglary charges.

If you have any information regarding Gloria Slump’s unsolved murder please contact Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation Special Agent in Charge Darrell Simmons at (712) 322-1585 or the Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office Criminal Investigation Division at (712) 890-2200.

Chargers slip past Cardinals in substate final

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

PLEASANT HILL — A seven-point Newton High Cardinal lead dissolved in two minutes Monday as Class 3A No. 7 Chariton’s Chargers rallied in the fourth quarter. The Chargers tied the game at 49all with 5:10 remaining to play.

With the 3A Substate 6 title and a berth in the 2016 Class 3A state tournament on the line, the Cardinals were locked in battle with the Chargers right to the final buzzer. In a packed full Southeast Polk High gym with dueling student sections at each end, the teams fought for the victory.

“We got beat by a team which did some things down the stretch better than us,” Newton head coach Bill Liley said after the Cardinals fell short of their goal — a trip to the state — by a 55-53 decision.

In the final five minutes, Newton had the lead twice. Senior Joseph Banfield sank two free throws to give the Cardinals a 51-49 advantage, but Chariton senior T. J. Hockenson tied it back up with a basket.

Junior Connor Gholson, who had been saddled with foul trouble most of the game, handed the lead back, 5351, to Newton at the 2:17 mark. Hockenson hit one of two free throws and Newton pulled the defensive rebound.

The Cardinals had a 53-52 lead and the basketball. They began working the ball and running the clock.

and give Chariton credit for being aggressive enough to jump the passing lanes.”

It was Hockenson, who

took charge of the ball and went in for the layup. He was fouled on the play but again missed the free throw. Newton had the ball and trailed by one point with 1:10 left.

The Cardinals trailed in the game for the first time since there were three minutes left in the first quarter.

Coming out of a timeout, the Cardinals went to work again.

Gholson drove toward the lane from the side. He was called for a charging foul, which was his fifth. Gholson left the contest with 22 points with 53.3 seconds remaining. He drained six of the Cardinals’ nine 3-point field goals in the game.

Newton’s defensive pressure created a Charger turnover at the 46.5-second mark.

Still down by one, the Cardinals put the ball in the hands of sophomore point guard Garrett Sturtz. Sturtz made a drive along the baseline, but was assessed a charging foul.

The Cardinals fouled Chariton junior Lim Chuol with 21 seconds left, and he sank one of two attempts to put the Chargers up 55-53.

The Chargers put the pressure on and caused a turnover by the Cardinals with four

seconds left.

Hockenson went to the free-throw line with 1.9 seconds on the clock. He missed both foul shots, but the damage was done.

“I’m not sure if I have been prouder of a team and how they played all season, especially the last three games.

These guys have never been this far and played in an atmosphere like this until the district championship game Saturday,” Liley said.

“They went out and executed at this level for 3 1/2 quarters tonight. For these guys, I really wished we could have finished it.”

Down 6-4 with 3:21 left in the first quarter, Newton took control of the game. Gholson triggered things with his first 3-pointer of the night. Sturtz scored a basket followed by another Gholson trey. The Cardinals were up 17-13 at the end of the period.

Gholson picked up his second personal foul and went to the Newton bench at the 5:20 mark of the second quarter as Newton led 21-15. Chariton trimmed it down to a twoCARDINALS | 2B

L-S’ Van Dyke, C-M’s Lourens earn SICL boys’ first-team honors

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News The Lynnville-Sully boys’ basketball team has won at least 18 games in nine of the past 10 seasons, and after another stellar year on the hardwood the Hawks were honored with all five starters finding a spot on the South Iowa Cedar League all-conference squad.

Senior Kyle Van Dyke was the only Hawk to earn a spot on the first team, but junior Tyler Van Zante and sophomore Jesse Van Wyk were both second-team selections.

Seniors Sage Ehresman and Canyon Kuhlmann were honorable mention picks by the SICL coaches.

Joining Van Dyke on the SICL first team was Colfax-Mingo Tigerhawk senior

The Tigerhawks went 1310 overall after winning just once the year before. The Tigerhawks had three all-SICL selections in all as sophomore Jarod Nichols was a second-teamer, and senior Jacob Lietz earned a spot on the honorable mention squad.

The Hawks had an overall record of 23-2 and earned a share of the SICL West title with a 16-1 record.

Montezuma also went 16-1 as the Braves and Hawks split their two head-to-head meetings this year.

Lynnville-Sully’s only other loss came in the substate final against No. 6 Gladbrook-Reinbeck, which is the defending 1A state champion.

That success earned L-S head coach Nick Harthoorn SICL Coach of the Year honors.

in scoring, rebounding and blocked shots for the second straight season. He averaged 13.1 points and 8.5 rebounds per game and blocked 62 shots this year.

Van Dyke also shot 56 percent from the floor and 66 percent from the free-throw line. Van Dyke’s 62 blocks led the league and the 8.5 rebounds per game ranked third.

“Kyle has been one of the

best players in the conference for a couple of years now,” Harthoorn said. “He controls the paint for us. Kyle has been a four-year varsity player who has made a big impact on this program.”

Lourens led the Tigerhawks and was sixth in the SICL in scoring at 17 points per game. He also grabbed 7.6 rebounds, shot 55 percent from the floor and hit 71 percent from the line.

Lourens led C-M with 21 blocks, was third with 30 steals and had 18 assists. The 7.6 rebounds per game ranked second on the team.

The Hawks’ two second-teamers — Van Wyk and Van Zante — both nearly doubled their scoring output from the previous season.

No. 21 Iowa State sends seniors out with win over Oklahoma State AMES (AP) — Georges Niang said he was afraid before his final home game at Iowa State because he realized that he’d like to be in Ames forever.

Niang then went out and showed why Cyclones fans don’t want to see him go either.

Abdel Nader scored 19 points, Niang added 17 with Niang 10 rebounds and four assists and No. 21 Iowa State held off Oklahoma State 58-50 on Monday night.

“I don’t know if I ever experienced something as great as I experienced here,” Niang said. “I think I put my all into this place, and I’m content with closing the chapter at Hilton (Coliseum) because I left everything I had out there.”

Jameel McKay had six points with 10 rebounds for the Cyclones (21-9, 10-7 Big 12), who clinched their fifth consecutive winning season in conference play.

Iowa State broke open a tight game with an 11-0 run to start the second half. The Cowboys made it interesting late, closing within 53-47, but ultimately fell to the Cyclones for the seventh straight time.

Tavarius Shine, Jeff Newberry and Joe Burton all scored nine points for Oklahoma State (12-18, 3-14), which has lost five straight. The Cowboys were 4-of-27 from 3-point range.

Iowa State also honored seniors McKay and Nader, both in their second season at Iowa State, before tipoff.

But Monday night was all about Niang.

Niang was a crucial part of Iowa State’s first Sweet Sixteen team in 14 years as a sophomore. Last season Niang earned first-team All-Big 12 honors, and this year he became one of just nine players with 2,000 points, 600 rebounds and 400 assists in the past two decades.

Niang’s talents and his colorful personality — perhaps best exemplified when he blew a kiss at rival Iowa fans last season — made him one the most beloved players Iowa State has ever had.

“It’s like he’s one of them. Literally,” McKay said of Niang’s relationship with Iowa State’s fan base. “He gets love everywhere he goes. But he deserves it. He put in the work.”

Niang keyed the Cyclones crucial run with a basket, an alley-oop pass to McKay and a layup to help put Iowa State ahead 38-25.

Nader then threw down a one-handed dunk over Mitchell Solomon that sent Solomon sprawling to the court.

Nader followed with a corner 3-pointer that made it 49-32.

“A great win for us, but this day was all about (Nader, Niang and McKay), and what they’ve done for this program,” Iowa State coach Steve Prohm said.

Honors

Continued from Page 1B Van Zante ranked second behind Van Dyke in scoring at 11.3 points per game, hit a team-high 38 3-pointers and made 72 percent from the line. Van Zante pulled down 3.8 rebounds per game, led the Hawks in steals with 42 and was third in assists with 69.

“Tyler is extremely valuable to this team,” Harthoorn said.

“He led us in three different categories and had only 25 turnovers on the season. For a point guard, that is a remarkable statistic.”

Van Wyk averaged 10.6 points per game after scoring just five per game the year before. He made 22 3-pointers and hit a team-best 34 percent from long range. Van Wyk shot 68 percent from the line and was second in rebounds at 5.8 per game.

Van Wyk also led the team with 73 assists, was second with 20 blocks and third in

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Battling for the basketball is Newton High senior Jwan Roush and Chariton’s Daric Laing (4) with Newton’s Garrett Sturtz right on the play too. Newton’s defense kept the Chargers off balance for the first 3 1/2 quarters in Monday’s Class 3A Substate 6 final at Southeast Polk High School in Pleasant Hill. The Chargers rallied to beat the Cardinals, 55-53, ending Newton’s season.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B a two-point game, but enter Newton junior Trey Vanderlaan.

Vanderlaan netted backto-back threes to keep the Cardinals in front — the second one at the 2:46 mark for a 27-23 lead. When Chariton’s Daric Laing hit a 3-pointer to cut the margin to one point, Banfield answered for Newton.

Up 29-28, Newton worked for the final shot of the first half. Senior guard Jwan Roush hit a baseline jumper with four seconds on the clock, lifting Newton to a 31-28 lead at the break.

Newton had a true outside-inside game going in the third quarter. Banfield opened the period with a basket inside. Sturtz and Gholson provided the firepower from outside, delivering four 3-pointers. After Gholson’s third consecutive trey of the period, Banfield stole the ball and scored on a layup to make it 47-38.

The Cardinals were up 47-39 going into the final eight minutes of play.

Hockenson, who finished with 23 points, and Banfield traded baskets in the opening minute of the fourth quarter.

Laing hit two free throws and a trey followed by a bucket from Hocken-

steals with 37.

“Jesse is a well rounded player,” Harthoorn said.

“He does a little of everything for us. He gives us flexibility to make a lot Lietz of the things we do work. He had a great sophomore season.”

Like Lourens, Nichols was a standout player in the paint for the Tigerhawks. He improved his scoring by three points per game in his sophomore season, averaging 10.8 per game. He also led C-M and was second in the SICL in rebounding at 9.1 per tilt.

Nichols shot 47 percent from the floor, hit 65 percent from the line and was second on the team in assists (45), steals (44) and blocks (18).

Lietz was the Tigerhawks’ second leading scorer at 11.4 points per game. He also dished out an SICL-best 89 assists and collected 59 steals,

son to tie the game up at 49-49. Then came the rush to the end.

Looking at the game statistics, two jump out.

Newton was whistled for 22 fouls to Chariton’s eight.

The Chargers cashed in on 10-of-21 foul shots to Newton’s 4-of-4.

“The charging fouls at the end and the turnovers are things you have to play through. We still had the ball and opportunities. We didn’t take advantage of them,” Liley said. “A team with a short memory which can execute in the face of adversity is the team that wins.”

Ehresman

Kuhlmann

which ranked fourth in the SICL. He grabbed 3.5 boards per game, made 40 percent of his shots from the floor and hit 47 percent from the line.

Ehresman averaged 8.2 points per game for the second straight season. He made 20 3-pointers, connected on 71 percent from the line and grabbed 3.2 boards per game.

Ehresman finished second on the team in assists with 72 and also had 30 steals.

Kuhlmann scored 3.8 points per game, hit 16 3-pointers and grabbed 2.2 rebounds per contest. The senior guard also dished out 64 assists and collected 39 steals.

“Sage and Canyon were

Newton shot 45 percent, 20-of-44, from the field and Chariton connected on 21-of-41 for 52.5 percent.

The Chargers had a 24-20 rebounding edge on the Cardinals.

Banfield scored 12 points, hitting all four of Newton’s free throws, and had six rebounds. Sturtz had six rebounds and four assists. Senior Jake Bennett handed out five assists and Roush had two steals.

Chuol finished with 15 points and Laing had 14 points for Chariton (23-1).

Newton’s 15-9 record was the best since 1985 when Newton went 16-5. The last winning record for a Cardinal team was 12-11 in 2014.

Newton was one win away from taking a team back to a state tournament for the first time since 1992.

“This has been a really fun experience coaching these kids,” Liley said of his first season as Newton head coach. “They were a team and played together all season. They were coachable.

“These kids executed a system, which is a college level one on both the offensive and defensive ends, at a high level. Not many high school kids can do that.

We maximized and overachieved based on what we had this year.”

Liley pointed out the Cardinals had beat teams with 6-foot-8-inch centers

both outstanding senior leaders for this team,” Harthoorn said. “They led by words and actions. It was great to see their efforts pay off.”

Lynnville-Sully and Montezuma both had five players named to an all-conference team.

BGM, Keota and Belle Plaine were each awarded four selections.

The Hawks won at least 18 games for the eighth straight season.

The 13 wins for the Tigerhawks were the most for the program since the 2002-03 team won 14 games.

when their tallest player is 6-foot-4-inch junior Morgan Maher. He said they had beat teams with guards who score 20 points a game, and teams with a lot more playoff experience than Newton.

“I’m so proud of what our kids accomplished this season. They have worked hard from the time I got here in July right to the end,” Liley said. “They bought into what we wanted and accomplished things no one in Newton thought they were going to be capable of doing.”

Newton had four seniors play their final game for the Cardinals — Roush, Bennett, Banfield and Drew Stout. Liley said the senior leadership this season was amazing.

“And what fan support we’ve had all season. Our student section is awesome.

The way they’ve supported us was unbelievable,” Liley said.

“There are a lot of schools wishing they had a student section like Newton’s.”

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your teachers have been stellar, but that’s not to say you couldn’t use a few fresh influences. Reach out and you’ll learn what you need to know to take your career to the next level.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re a natural-born cheerleader, inspiring and motivating all who come near, though most won’t show it. In

fact, you would never guess how energizing your support really is.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Your intensity level may be too much for today’s situation, so hold back. The restraint you show will be admired.

Then, when the drama boils over, you’ll still have plenty of energy left in you to carry on productively.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Of course you want to succeed!

The question now is, at what cost? Doing your best is one thing. Then there’s the aboveand-beyond efforts you could make. Would they be worth it?
