Finding a career in law enforcement

Veterans share stories through service project

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News

Veterans and community members joined together Saturday morning at the Centre for Arts and Artists to participate in a service project that allowed veterans to share their experiences.

The project involved the making of books that reflected veterans’ stories. Community members who didn’t serve also made books thanking veterans for their service.

“We also had an event on Tuesday that brought to light the importance of the art and helping veterans process their experience and return to civilian life,” said Cheri Doane, director of community-based learning at Central College. “It was really a great week-long series of events.

I’m pleased and feeling great about it.”

Tuesday’s event was the Veteran-Citizen Dialogue, which was a platform for civilians to interact with veterans. Executive Director of the Newton Chamber of Commerce Craig Light participated in the dialogue and in Saturday’s project to thank veterans for everything they have done.

“To the valiant, I’m humbled ,because I never served,” Light said. “So understanding that I have an appreciation for the great service they’ve done for us, so that’s why I’m here.”

Light’s book displayed the story of veterans’ lives and it honored the fallen, the heroic and their successors.

Saturday’s project also emphasized the struggle veterans face reentering society and how their

perspective on life completely changes after returning from war.

“It really served many different purposes. It brought veterans and civilians together for a meaningful service project,” Doane said.

“It’s always good to bring the community together for conversation. Central College is very pleased to collaborate with these wonderful partners for meaningful work.”

Five organizations, including Central College, Greater Des Moines Partnership, New Yorkbased Intersections International, the Newton Chamber of Commerce and Centre for Arts and Artists partnered together to organize the week-long series of events.

Being in law enforcement was not a childhood dream from Jasper County Sheriff ’s Deputy Nick Aldrich. Even after getting his first degree in college, his path was not heading in that direction. It wasn’t until he saw fellow classmates involved in the criminal justice program that he decided to see where that road might lead.

“I did some college classes in high school. I thought I wanted to do construction and architecture, so I got a degree in building trades, but decided I didn’t want to do that after a few years. I started studying criminal justice and decided I might like being somewhere in law enforcement better,” Al-

drich said. “The more I started learning about, the more I decided it is probably what I should try and do.”

Aldrich received his first degree from DMACC in 2012 and is currently working to complete his criminal justice degree from the same institution. While studying, Aldrich had to complete an internship and was able to go to the Sheriff ’s Office for the work.

“I thought this would be a great place to work, be close to home, where I grew up and I knew the county pretty well,” Aldrich said.

A few months after his internship, there was an opening at the Sheriff ’s Office and he decided to apply. He was ALDRICH | 3A

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Jasper County Sheriff’s Deputy Nick Aldrich didn’t set out to work in law enforcement, even after he graduated from college, but seeing classmates in the criminal justice program, he decided to give it a chance, which led him to the career he is in today.

Former Hy-Vee building plans coming together for schools Callaghan said district offices are about one year from moving in

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Thursday night’s Newton Community School District forum was devoted to elementary school reconfiguration possibilities.

A few blocks away from the forum, held at the Newton DMACC Campus, lies a building that’s set to be the future home of the district’s administration offices, professional development rooms, the new Disciplinary Alternative Program and the Basics & Beyond program.

The old Hy-Vee building, 1302 First Ave. W., was purchased

in November by board decision at a cost of about $440,000. The 5.38-acre property is adjacent to the district’s technology building and transportation center, and features a 20,00-square foot main building, paved parking, an open, roofed storage facility north of the main building, and a dilapidated “quonset hut” building near the street.

The latest drawing from FRK Architects and Engineers, dated Feb. 20, shows a large number of separate storage spaces, to go along with three regular classrooms, a large dividable space for

the DAP students, a computer lab, a fitness room and a three-section dividable room for conferences and professional-development events.

At Thursday’s reconfiguration forum, Callaghan said the district is probably about one year away from being able to move offices into the building.

Callaghan made a presentation at a December board meeting with a similar rendition of what the inside might look like. The building will not be used to directly replace any current regular schools, but it will help free up some classroom space at the recently re-designated Emerson Hough building.

The board voted Jan. 12 to re-open Emer-

Ogden sells baked goods, lunch at bakery

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News Local baker and caterer Dalene Odgen has enjoyed cooking since a child but she never imagined she’d be cooking for a living.

What first started with a farmers market stand, selling crafts and later incorporating popular baked goods, has turned into a full-time job of baking and catering, a job Ogden said she greatly enjoys.

Recently, Ogden has moved her bakery, Bun in the Oven Bakery, into a new location on West Third Street South, less than a block from First Avenue West.

The bakery has a display case full of fresh baked goods, a place for a few small groups to eat lunch and a small boutique of crafts and childrens clothes.

Ogden is a mother of six, three boys and three girls, who started the boutique making baby items for her boys.

“It saved us a lot of money, and I love to sew, too,” she said.

However, Ogden is best known for her baked goods and catering, and she doesn’t leave anything out. She enjoys making food from a variety of heritages — German, French, Italian, Dutch, etc.

At the bakery, Ogden makes cupcakes, dessert bars, and chocolate and vanilla German donuts, and she said her favorite goods to bake are sugar cookies and pecan rolls which are both popular goods available daily at the bakery.

Odgen also sells coffee.

“My price range is very reasonable. I try and make affordable quality food for everyone,” she said.

Also available at her bakery is a lunch option. Ogden makes

She put a full kitchen into her new location to accommodate her cooking and catering needs.

“Dalene provides lots of food for the money, is easy to work with, and always enthusiastic to help make our events successful,” Doyle and DeVoe Broker/ Owner Caren DeVoe Clevenger said.

“I’ve pulled off two surprises with her catering, one being Phil’s retirement. Darlene is a

great person to work with.”

Catering for local business or private events is a joy of Ogden, especially helping fundraise.

Working with Windstream, Skiff Medical Center, Newton High School Princess and Papas Ball are a few of her proud moments. On Wednesdays, Ogden also caters the weekely Newton Noon Kiwanis meeting.

Bun in the Oven winter hours are 9 a.m to 1:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday.

“I like making people happy. I like when they return and tell me how good my food was. It makes me feel really good to have that return customer,” Ogden said.

Ogden plans to be open earlier in the day and later in the evening throughout the summer.

Stocks slip after weaker growth, end best month since 2011

By Alex Veiga AP Business Writer February proved to be a strong month for U.S. stocks, even though it ended in downbeat fashion.

Major stock indexes closed lower on Friday, capping a week of subdued trading that still delivered a couple of new highs for the Dow Jones industrial average and Standard & Poor’s 500 index. It also brought the Nasdaq composite within striking distance of its March 2000 high.

The Nasdaq notched the biggest monthly gain at 7.1 percent. But the S&P 500’s 5.5 percent performance

marked its best monthly increase since October 2011, and a turnaround from its 3.1 percent slide in January. The Dow rose 5.6 percent for the month.

Trading was listless for much of Friday as investors balanced encouraging reports on housing and consumer confidence against data showing that the U.S. economy grew at a slower annual rate in the final months of 2014 than previously estimated. Oil rose, recouping some of its losses from a day earlier. Technology stocks were among the biggest decliners.

“Many people are trying to figure out what to do, taking some profits when they can. We saw that over the

past couple of days with tech stocks,” said JJ Kinahan, TD Ameritrade’s chief strategist. “It’s a wait-and-see attitude.”

The Dow ended down 81.72 points, or 0.5 percent, to 18,132.70. That’s 0.5 percent below its most-recent high of 18,224.57 on Wednesday.

The S&P 500 slid 6.24 points, or 0.3 percent, to 2,104.50. The index is down 0.5 from a high of 2,115.48 on Tuesday.

The Nasdaq fell 24.36 points, or 0.5 percent, to 4,963.53. The index has been inching closer to crossing the 5,000-point mark, something it hasn’t done since March 2000 at the height

of the dot-com era. It’s now within 86 points of that peak.

The three main U.S. stock indexes are all up for the year.

The current bull market, now in its sixth year, has been powered by strong corporate earnings growth and low interest rates, which make stocks more attractive relative to bonds. Strong job growth and improving consumer confidence have also encouraged traders, despite signs of sluggishness in Europe and elsewhere.

The latest growth projection represents a major slowdown from the previous quarter, which produced the strongest growth in 11 years.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News The former Hy-Vee building on First Avenue West, which was purchased last fall by the Newton Community School District, is undergoing a renovation that will allow it to house district administration offices, the Basics & Beyond program, Disciplinary Alternative Program and professional development rooms.

Aldrich Continued from Page 1A hired on Sept. 2, which was also his first day at the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy. Also in the academy at the same time was fellow Deputy Ryan Engle, who Aldrich was able to work and learn with.

“A lot of partner projects we grouped up on since we would be working together here,” Aldrich said.

After graduating in December, Aldrich began working and has already had some memorable days. He was involved in a car chase in the northeast part of the county that led them onto gravel roads at very high speeds.

“He ran from us, and took us on a little joy ride onto gravel roads. We got up to 130 miles per hour — 110 on gravel,” Aldrich said.

The chase ended with the suspect wrecking his car and being apprehended by the officers.

Although it isn’t the path he initially thought he would travel, Aldrich is happy and proud of where he ended up.

“I knew I wanted to go into a profession where I could be around people. I couldn’t think of a more important job than bringing law and order into everyday society,” Aldrich said.

Friends of chemo ‘graduate’ donate for future patients Submitted Photo Former Skiff employee Sarah Coy was joined by her Park Centre coworkers during her final day of chemotherapy on Feb. 6. Pictured are, from left, Sheree Esqueda, Jackie Lowe, Coy, Jody Pickerell, Jennifer Flake and Jourdan Flake.

Newton Daily News The Skiff Cancer Clinic was pretty in pink on a recent Friday morning, when Sarah Coy was concluding a stretch of 16 chemotherapy treatments.

“I’m graduating!” declared Coy, a former Skiff employee who now works at Park Centre. A significant number of her current coworkers attended the final chemo day with her, bringing presents and having Coy wear a bright pink tutu. “We’ve been celebrating since 7:30 this morning.”

Her colleagues also brought an extra surprise for the special day, in the form of “chemo survival kits” that were put together in Coy’s name. The boxes hold a large assortment of items that Coy herself confirms are helpful in getting through the

rigors of cancer treatment, including a blanket, soft socks, facial tissues, lotion, candy, lip balm and more.

The kits will be donated to future patients of the clinic.

Coy’s involvement with the Skiff Cancer Clinic started shortly after she was diagnosed with breast cancer in July. “It meant so

much to me to know that I could see my doctor here and that I could be treated by chemotherapy nurse Veronica Mangrich. I feel very blessed.”

With treatment behind her, Coy said that her prognosis is excellent and she’s excited to “pay it forward” to future patients with the survival kits. “I think the

Cancer Clinic is the best asset at Skiff,” she said.

“Jasper County has so many people affected by cancer and we’re so lucky to have this.”

Larry & Diana Ambroson Potassium & Lower Stroke Risk A recent study suggests that potassium may help lower stroke risk in women, especially those who do not have high blood pressure.

Researchers followed 90,000 women for 11 years and found that those who consumed at least 3200 mg of potassium a day from food (not supplements) had a 12% lower risk of stroke than those who ate less than 1900 mg a day. Among women who did not have high blood pressure, those who ate the most potassium had a 21% lower risk. Foods such as dark leafy greens, beans, potatoes, squash, bananas, yogurt, seafood, avocados and mushrooms are good sources of potassium.

Odds and ends

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | March 2, 2015

This week’s column features odds and ends … a collection of thoughts from an editor without 600 words on just a single subject.

I’m not going to justify the “the dress” debate on the Internet with too much attention. If you missed it, just Google it — you’ll find there was a widespread debate on whether a dress was gold and white or black and blue. My only comment is — can you imagine what we could accomplish if people were that engaged and concerned about real problems? We could change the world.

——— I can vaguely remember what it was like to be young and single on the weekends. There was actually the question — what am I going to do this weekend? It seems pretty hilarious to me these days. I know exactly what I’m doing every weekend. Laundry. Pretty much three consecutive days of laundry with some mandatory house cleaning, running children around, shopping, cooking and dish washing. Weekends are supposed to be

relaxing right?

——— Our son just completed his basketball season with the program at the YMCA. We were again reminded how fortunate we are to have a wonderful facility in which our kids can learn the game and develop their skills. We’re also so glad to have quality coaches that dedicate their time to the practices, games and most recently an all-day tournament. More important than winning or losing is seeing those kids on the court smiling and enjoying the game. It meant the world to have coaches who were doing the exact same thing.

——— Next Sunday, we will spring forward for Daylight Savings time … while I dread falling back in autumn, this one is rather exciting for me. This is the second official sign of spring, following the Shamrock Shake at McDonald’s, which is our nation’s first official sign. I’ve never had the shake, but each year I see the sign go up, the social media frenzy involving the

shake and you just know — it’s pretty much spring. By March 20, it will officially be spring and before long we’ll be able to shed the winter coats and turn off the heat.

This is an exciting time of year.

——— I know it may seem like I’m kind of mean, or that I lack empathy, but my husband recently lost his voice following some sinus/ cold thing he never had diagnosed.

Yet, he could not resist the urge to continue speaking. So on Friday he sounded a bit like Scooby Doo. When he spoke, I would often follow with my own imitation, which drew some laughs. By Saturday, he had virtually no voice, and spoke in a Batman whisper. This led to the kids and I speaking to him in a whisper, because it just felt natural. We spent a better chunk of the day whispering back and forth, often without realizing why.

By Saturday afternoon our kids decided to watch the “Dark Night Rises,” just because we’d referenced the main character so many times. Gratefully, my hubby is on

the mend and his voice is slowly returning.

——— This past week we had celebrated our oldest child’s 13th birthday.

We should be terrified right? I can’t count the number of times sympathetic parents have made comments referencing “the challenging years.” Yeah, even though it’s been decades we remember.

But this one is off to a good start.

She’s responsible, smart, caring, funny and just a beautiful person, inside and out. We’re excited to see how her interests and personality grow in these coming years.

Also this week, I mailed a package to a friend from college who happened to welcome her baby girl this weekend. While I knew she’d probably heard it a million times already I couldn’t help but hand out the classic piece of advice — enjoy this special time, has anyone mentioned it flies by?

State View

Senate votes to help vets, improve health care Last session, the Legislature approved more property tax relief to those who have sacrificed the most for our country.

The Disabled Veterans Property Tax Credit was expanded to include a full property tax exemption for those who suffered a 100 percent disability because By Chaz Allen of their service, Iowa Senator and allowed the exemption to apply to surviving spouses and children of those killed in service to our nation.

However, the law inadvertently left out veterans who suffered a permanent disability that made it impossible for them to work. While the veteran did not receive a 100 percent disability rating, their injuries made it impossible for them to seek employment.

This week, we fixed that

problem. House File 166 will allow those veterans to claim and receive the property tax exemption. This legislation is retroactive to last year, so those who met this standard and had applied will receive their benefit.

Veterans must apply to their local assessor to receive an exemption. For more information, contact your local assessor by going to www.iowa-assessors. org/htdocs/Assessors_of_Iowa, or county veterans’ office by going to www.va.iowa.gov/counties.

Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women in the United States (behind skin cancer) and is the second leading cause of cancer death in women, exceeded only by lung cancer. Approximately one in eight women will develop invasive breast cancer at some point in their lives.

While death rates from breast cancer have declined in recent decades because of greater

awareness, screenings and hormone therapies, more must be done. One area of improvement concerns mammography screenings for women with dense breast tissue. Dense breast tissue puts women at a greater risk for developing cancer than having two blood relatives with breast cancer.

To make matters worse, many women with dense breast tissue are not aware that they have the condition. About 50 percent of women have dense breast tissue. Mammography sensitivity decreases in women with dense breast tissue, which significantly reduces the chance of revealing cancerous tumors.

Last week, the Iowa Senate voted unanimously in SF 205 to increase awareness of this condition. The bill requires that women with dense breast tissue receive notice of their status with their mammogram results.

If it becomes law, Iowa will join 21 other states with this requirement.

Lots of people sure hate the Koch brothers.

The Kochs get death threats like this: “If I had a chance to murder a K o c h brother in cold blood, I would By John Stossel surely take it.”

Jim Dean doesn’t want to kill the Kochs, but he does want new laws to limit their influence.

Dean’s brother Howard was a Democratic presidential candidate, and Dean chairs a group called Democracy for America.

“Get money out of politics,” Dean says on my show this week.

But Dean’s not just unhappy because the Kochs have money to throw around. He doesn’t like their politics.

“The Koch brothers are poster boys for everything that is wrong in politics because they spend so much,” he says, and they have extreme goals like “getting rid of Social Security and environmental laws.”

But they don’t. They just think today’s environmental laws go too far, and they want to save Social Security from going broke.

Dean says Social Security “has been one of the best social programs we’ve ever had.” When I point out that it’s unsustainable, he says, “The math works for another 20 years.” Wow. 20 years.

If the Kochs’ views were the same as George Soros’, I don’t think liberals like Dean would complain as much. But Dean claims he’s no hypocrite.

“We don’t like it when Democrats play the same game. Rahm Emanuel, mayor of Chicago ... is giving away taxpayerowned assets in the city to big businesses whose principals funded his campaign.”

It is disgusting when big shots use their money to get handouts from government -- ethanol

subsidies, limits on sugar imports, loan guarantees for Boeing or special deals from Rahm Emanuel. That’s government helping well-connected rich people, handing them money that once belonged to taxpayers.

But the Kochs aren’t like that. The brothers made their billions by growing their businesses. That’s a good thing.

That’s real wealth creation, jobs for people and products people want.

The Kochs oppose subsidies, even for their own company. They’d get rid of them if everybody else would.

I should disclose that I’ve spent time with both David and Charles Koch.

They’ve paid me to speak at a few of their events. I happily took the money and gave it to charities.

But anyone who understands libertarianism knows I’d agree with the Kochs even if I’d never met them. They are proimmigration, anti-drug war. They want less defense spending. They got praised by Attorney General Holder for their campaign to jail fewer people.

Why is the left so mad at them? It’s definitely not because they’re the only big spenders in politics.

During the last presidential election, it was reported that the Kochs spent $60 million. Tom Steyer, the big environmental activist, spent $70 million a few years later.

Yes, groups affiliated with the Kochs spent $400 million. But the Huffington Post reports that labor unions spent much more: $1.7 billion.

Union spending dwarfs Koch spending.

I wish libertarians could just pay the government to shrink. But that’s not going to happen soon.

The unions, unlike the Kochs, promote economic ignorance. They push rigid hiring rules, limits on firing lazy workers, “buy American” campaigns, taxes on imports and other ideas that stifle growth. They push inefficiency on a grand scale, and politicians usually go along.

Woman misses the affection that fiance shows to pets DEAR ABBY: My fiance, “Bubba,” and I have a small disagreement that I would love your take on. He constantly complains that he’s too tired, or annoyed or busy, to show me romantic or friendly affection and attention. But he goes out of his way to snuggle and play with our two dogs and cat.

I get jealous when he kisses our dogs over and over again, or stays up later to play with the cat. He thinks I am overreacting.

Am I being petty, or am I justified in thinking that if he has the time and energy to give affection and love to our animals, he should do the same for the woman he’s about to make his wife? — INSULTED IN CONNECTICUT DEAR INSULTED: You’re not overreacting or being petty. Perhaps when Bubba is cuddling the animals, you should remind him that humans need to feel loved in the same way they do. Bubba appears to be extremely insensitive. Please reconsider your engagement, because if you marry Bubba, you may end up starving for affection for as long as the marriage lasts.

DEAR ABBY: My mother-in-law is now in a nursing home. When my husband’s birthday came around, he was depressed by the fact that it was the first time in his life he hadn’t gotten a birthday card from her.

So, after struggling to think of a Christmas present for her, I went to the dollar store and bought four Christmas cards and four birthday cards (one for each of her children). I took them to her and had her sign and add a personal note to each one.

I addressed, stamped and mailed the Christmas cards. I will mail the birthday ones at the appropriate times during the year. It was an inexpensive gift, and kind of fun! — SENDING LOVE IN CEDAR RAPIDS DEAR SENDING LOVE: It may have been an inexpensive gift, but I’m

sure it was precious not only to her but also for each of the recipients. Your idea was lovely, and thank you for sharing it with my readers. Some of them may want to emulate it for other holidays or special occasions.

DEAR ABBY: Three years ago, our son, who is in his 50s, cut off all communication with us and our side of the family. He is self-employed, a hard worker and has three siblings.

He wanted us to co-sign on a loan for a house in another state. The payments would have run us out of money in three years, which would have meant putting our own home up for sale.

Our reason for refusing was we didn’t want to risk becoming a burden on our children. My husband and I had to help our own parents, so we have been frugal and never lived above our means.

I send postcards to my son to let him know our love is constant. Should I stop and just leave him alone, as he has asked? — FORGOTTEN MOM IN ARKANSAS DEAR MOM: Your son should not have expected you to do anything at this stage of your lives that could jeopardize your remaining years. But if it brings you comfort, I see nothing wrong with sending him the occasional postcard.

DAVENPORT — An Iowa man has been sentenced to 7 years in prison for fatally stabbing another man during an argument last March. Judge John Telleen says the argument between Tremaine Gabirel and Christian Wood outside a Davenport nightclub was about “stupid stuff.” Telleen says Gabriel could have walked away from the fight, but instead he stabbed Wood several times and caused his death.

WATERLOO — A Waterloo man found with substantial burns at the scene of a house fire last month has been arrested on suspicion of arson and drug manufacturing charges. Dale Hansen, 59, was arrested Friday. He’s charged with second-degree arson, unlawful possession of pseudoephedrine and conspiracy to manufacture methamphetamine. On Jan. 4, police and firefighters responding to a house fire found Hansen at the scene with burns and took him to a local hospital.

Woman’s body found in an alley Sunday DES MOINES — Police are investigating after finding a woman’s body in an alley in Des Moines. Sgt. Jason Halifax says the body was reported shortly before 8:45 a.m. Sunday in an alley near 14th Street and 14th Place. Halifax said the woman was 35-years-old. Her name wasn’t immediately released Sunday. Police are trying to determine how the woman died, but they are treating the death as suspicious.

Iowa’s fuel tax is going up, how long before road fixes?

The Associated Press DES MOINES — With Iowa’s increased fuel price in place, how quickly can drivers expect to see road improvements on their daily commutes?

State and county officials say they expect additional road work underway later Branstad this year, but it’s too soon to talk specifics. The 10-cent a gallon increase started at the pump Sunday and is projected to generate more than $200

million annually for the state’s bridges and roads, many of which are considered deteriorating or deficient.

“I can think of a couple small bridges that I can move aggressively on,” said Lyle Brehm, county engineer for Tama and Poweshiek counties. Brehm, part of the Iowa County Engineers Association, said he has a “very long list of repairs that need to be done.”

The Legislature approved the tax increase last week and Gov. Terry Branstad quickly signed it into law. The tax — previously 22 cents per gallon of gasoline, including fees — had not been raised since 1989. But since winning a

sixth non-consecutive term, Branstad had been vocal about the need for more infrastructure dollars in the state.

Iowa has about 114,000 miles of road and 25,000 bridges, and the system is aging. The new funding will start to come into the state coffers later in the spring, and then it will be divided between counties, cities and the state for road projects, said Stuart Anderson, the director of the planning division in the Iowa Department of Transportation.

“There certainly are a large amount of needs that exist,” said Anderson. “This is going to allow the DOT, cities and counties to invest in roads that

are most important to moving people, provide them access to work, education, health care.”

Anderson said the money likely means the state — guided by the Iowa Transportation Commission — can take on some bigger projects in the next few years, like expanding certain state highways from two to four lanes. But he said there could be some smaller paving or repair projects happening later this year.

One of those potential bigger projects was mentioned

by Branstad this week. He said he hoped to see improvements soon to U.S. Highway 20, which runs east to west in the northern part of the state and has one section in west-

ern Iowa that needs to be upgraded from two to four lanes.

“Highway 20 is one of those that has been around for a long time and we want to see that completed and moved up,” said Branstad, though he noted the final determination rests with the Iowa Transportation Commission.

Still, while the money will help, officials stressed that the new funding won’t pay for all the repairs needed in the state.

“It’s not going to allow counties to address all the bridge condition issues they have,” said Anderson. “But hopefully it allows them to address those that are most important to the movement of goods and people.”

Computer-based education sets pace in Iowa school New psychiatric

By Ashley Miller Mason City Globe Gazette MASON CITY — A unique approach to learning is catching on in one Iowa school district.

Three Lincoln Intermediate instructors — Ashley Flatebo, Jill Geissler and Todd Godfrey — have recently been piloting competency-based education (CBE) in their science/social studies, literacy and math courses.

Instead of traditional seat-and-lecture time, students are afforded a flexible, individualized learning environment where they progress at their own pace. There is a simpler grading scale and learners move on once they demonstrate mastery of a particular concept or subject.

While core ideas are the same, CBE can look different from classroom-toclassroom, the Globe Gazette (http://bit. ly/1ws8vHR ) reports.

Geissler teaches a split period that begins with a traditional lesson. During the second half, students might be in the computer lab, watching podcasts or looking up information for books they’re reading.

In Godfrey’s class, Anna Lehm-

ann said she and her classmates rely on Chromebooks for lessons.

Seated nearby, Alyssa Alert, 12, used her laptop to solve a rate problem.

“It’s not a traditional class,” explained Lehmann, 12. “I don’t necessarily like math, but this helps me like it more.”

For Flatebo’s sixth-graders, gaining knowledge is often a hands-on process.

Learning objectives on the whiteboard remind understanding needs to be applied in multiple methods, like explanation, building and experimenting.

Students are self-directed, using Google Docs and checking in with Flatebo as they go.

As a result, her sixth-graders are saying they finding themselves more engaged and excited about learning.

During a recent morning in Flatebo’s classroom, students were spread across the room, working at stations in small groups while others used Chromebooks by themselves to record findings.

As a miniature robot whirred as it traveled across the front of the room, a trio clustered nearby, hopeful their creation would perform as planned.

When it didn’t, the three returned to their computer, using software to tweak

the robot’s movements.

Although he just picked up programming this week, Jared Whalen skillfully explained how he and his classmates “told’ the robot how to move.

“It’s a lot of fun,” said Whalen, 12.

“I like that I get to move around more, which makes me pay attention better.”

One of Whalen’s partners, Hunter Wright, said he enjoys working at his own pace.

“Every day, I get to do something new, which makes me more into learning,” said Wright, 11.

In a quieter area of the room, Calvin Perry used his laptop to log claims, evidence and results from experiments with levers.

Perry, 11, said he likes the streamlined approach, which permits him to bypass things he already knows and spend more time on concepts he doesn’t understand.

Flatebo is pleased with her students’ progress.

“They’re striving instead of settling,” she said, noting CBE works for all learners, including those with behavioral issues or cognitive disabilities. “I’m finding that kids are learning more deeply, can explain concepts better and are caring more.”

facility for children opens in May

SIOUX CITY (AP) — A new facility offering psychiatric care and substance abuse treatment to children and teens in northwest Iowa is expected to address an important need in the region when it opens this spring.

The new Jackson Recovery Centers Child and Adolescent Recovery Hospital is expected to open in May. “The reality is we’ve never had a facility really designated for the needs of children in our community,” said Kermit Dahlen, CEO of Jackson Recovery Centers. “It’s just so badly needed.”

Right now the closest child psychiatric crisis centers are either about 60 miles away in Cherokee, Iowa, or about 90 miles away in Council Bluffs, Iowa.

The $10.5 million project has been under construction in Sioux City since August.

Will Smith’s ‘Focus’ tops box office with $19.1 million NEW YORK (AP) — Will Smith’s con-man caper “Focus” disrobed “Fifty Shades of Grey” at the box office, but the film’s modest $19.1 million opening still left questions about the drawing power of the once unstoppable star.

According to studio estimates Sunday, Warner Bros.’ “Focus” easily topped all competitors on a weekend with little competition at North American multiplexes.

In second place was the Colin Firth spy thriller “Kingsman: The Secret Service,” which made $11.8 million in its third week of release.

After two weeks atop the box office, “Fifty Shades of Grey” continued its steep slide, landing in fourth with an estimated $10.9 million for Universal Pictures. “Fifty Shades,” which has made $486.2 million globally, fell just behind Paramount’s “The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water,” which earned $11.2 million in its fourth week.

The weekend’s only other new

wide release, Relativity’s horror film “The Lazarus Effect,” opened in fifth place with $10.6 million.

But the weekend was largely seen, fairly or not, as a referendum on Smith’s star power. “Focus,” written and directed by the “Crazy, Stupid, Love” duo Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, is Smith’s first film since 2013’s “After Earth,” the sci-fi flop in which he co-starred with his son, Jaden.

Smith has been frank about the sting of that film’s box-office performance. “I can’t allow the boxoffice success, or lack thereof, to determine my self-image,” he said in a recent interview with The Associated Press.

But “Focus,” made for about $50 million and co-starring Margot Robbie of “The Wolf of Wall Street,” was never intended to be a summer-sized blockbuster. It had been predicted to make around $21 million.

“This is a mid-budgeted film with a result that matches,” said

Jeff Goldstein, head of distribution for Warner Bros., who added that winter storms accounted for a drop of $1-2 million. “There’s no question we got hammered because of inclement weather in the South and the Midwest.”

The R-rated “Focus,” overwhelmingly appealed to adults, with 88 percent of its audience older than 25 — not a good sign for Smith’s appeal to a new generation of moviegoers who weren’t around for his triumphs in “Independence Day.” Nevertheless, there aren’t many stars who could do better with a drama in late February. And “Focus” should play well internationally, where Smith’s popularity remains strong.

“This still goes on his balance sheet as a number one debut,” said Paul Degarabedian, senior media analyst for box-office data firm Rentrak. “He can still draw an audience, particularly with a film that’s R-rated and not aimed at the young crowd.”

Google to offer own cellular network plan

By Joseph Wilson Associated Press BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Google will soon be offering cellular network plans in a bid to bridge the gap between the realms of Internet services and mobile device software it dominates.

Vice President Sundar Pichai says Google, the leading Internet search engine and mobile software provider, is working with unnamed network operators on developing a cellular plan.

“You will see us announce it in the coming months,” he said at the Mobile World Congress wireless show in Barcelona. “I think we are at a stage where

it is important to think about hardware, software and connectability together.

“We want to be able to experiment along those lines.”

Pichai called Google’s plan to offer cellular services “a project” and insisted that the Internet company isn’t a threat to traditional telephone and Internet service providers.

Pichai compared Google’s latest move to its decision to launch its own line of Nexus smartphones, which he said Google uses not to compete with other smartphone makers, rather to introduce innovations in the greater world of mobile hardware.

“We don’t intend to be a network operator at scale,” he said.

HOW WE MADE THE GYRAFOAM

“Our goal here is to drive a set of innovations which we think the ecosystem should evolve and hopefully will get traction.

Again, we will do it on a small enough scale so that, just like Nexus devices, people see what we are doing and hopefully carrier partners think our ideas are good.”

Pichai offered finding a way to provide a “seamless” Internet connection when a device moves from Wi-Fi to cellular coverage as one example of goals Google would like to target.

Pichai said that Google is also working on “Android Pay,” a mobile payment system similar to “Apple Pay,” that will work across all Android-powered devices.

In 1898, Howard Snyder, a rural Austin, Minnesota farm boy accepted an offer from Frederick L. Maytag to start working at the Parsons Band Cutter & Self Feeder Company in Newton, Iowa. This marked the start of Snyder’s inventive career of nearly thirty years culminating in a series of innovations that propelled the Maytag name to the forefront as an iconic brand among washing machine manufacturers. Dr. Tom Hoover has written a book entitled How We Made The Gyrafoam: The Story of Two Midwestern Farm Boys Who Changed Washday Mondays Forever, which is now available for pre-order at the Newton Daily News. The book follows the life of Howard Snyder, raised near Rose Creek, Minnesota, and reveals the role Frederick L. Maytag, a farm boy from Laurel, Iowa, played as his benefactor and friend. Together these two outstanding men led The Maytag Company to the top of the washing machine world in 1926.

Maytag once commented about Snyder that "90% of everything we make or improve upon is because of him." At the time of Snyder's death in 1927, Maytag lamented "I feel that I am losing a companion, my pal and dearest friend that I ever had."

Bumblebees, Eagles play Big Game

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News A big-game atmosphere existed in Newton High’s gymnasium Friday morning — fans cheering, the NHS pep band playing and two competitive teams on the basketball court.

For the second year in a row, Trent Tiffany had the basketball as the final seconds ticked off the game clock.

Tiffany’s Electrifying Eagles trailed the Boss Bumblebees by three points. Tiffany drained a 3-pointer with second seconds left.

The 2014 NHS Big Game ended in a 37-37 tie. Members from both teams rang the NHS Victory Bell following the game.

Tiffany and Ciara Holder, who played for the Bumblebees, were honored at halftime as the seniors playing in the contest.

Each year, the Big Game features teams involving Newton’s special needs students.

The teams are divided equally with several NHS athletes on the teams to help the athletes on the court.

Holder said she played in her first-ever Big Game Friday.

“It was fun. Yes, I enjoyed it,” Holder said after the game. Holder scored points for the Bumblebees.

Joining Holder on the Boss Bumblebees were Sam Townsend, Christian McChyghy, Madelyn Aubert, Trevor Cupples, Chris Thorpe, McKenna Heisdorffer, Blake Anderson and

“I was nervous,” Tiffany said. “It was good and fun. I shot well.”

Tiffany’s teammates on the Electrifying Eagles were Mollie Bird, Baileigh Vest, Jesse Cochran, Ramona Starkenburg, Elijah VanGorp, Shelbey Cochran, Rachel Prender-

gast, Brenna Schwenker, Rylie Udelhoven and Mike McCormick.

NHS students and parents filled the bleachers cheering on the teams.

Johnson pulls away for win at Atlanta Hawks hold off PSU in overtime HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson pulled away after the final restart with 13 laps to go Sunday, winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup race at Atlanta Motor Speedway.

Johnson, a six-time Cup champion, started near the back after failing to get in a qualifying run because of inspection issues.

But the No. 48 Chevrolet was the fastest car on the track at the end of the weekend, cruising across the finish line a comfortable 1.803 seconds ahead of Kevin Harvick.

It was the 71st victory of Johnson’s career, and his fourth at the 1.54-mile trioval south of Atlanta.

It also gives him an almostcertain spot in the season-ending Chase, going for his recordtying seventh championship.

“It’s pretty much a lock,” Johnson said. “That takes a ton of pressure off.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr. was third, followed by Daytona 500 winner Joey Logano, who started from the pole and led 84 laps early in the race.

After a big crash on lap 305 brought out the red flag for nine minutes to clean up the mess, Johnson found himself at the front of the pack.

When the green flag waved, he got a good jump off the line, fended off Hendrick Motorsports teammate Earnhardt going down the backstretch, and was firmly in control by the time the cars came back around in front of the stands.

There was no catching him from there.

Johnson was among four former champions, along with teammate Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Matt Kenseth, who never got on the track during qualifying.

Thirteen cars were stuck in the garage after failing to pass inspection, a situation that Gordon called “embarrassing” for the sport.

Harvick, who qualified on the

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — It was a simple concept, Iowa coach F r a n McCaffery said.

Someone had to make a play and he had just the guy White in Aaron White.

White scored 21 points, including six free throws in overtime, and the Hawkeyes were able to scrape past Penn State 81-77 in overtime on Saturday night.

White’s steal of a D.J. Newbill in-bounds pass with 29 seconds left in overtime swung momentum the Hawkeyes’ way, as did his freethrow shooting.

“The steal was the play of the game,” McCaffery said. “This was a hard-fought game. Both teams put themselves in position to win. Somebody has to make a play;

NASCAR Photo/Sarah Glenn/Getty Images Jimmie Johnson, driver of the No. 48 Lowe’s Chevrolet, leads Kevin Harvick, driver of the No. 4 Jimmie John’s/Budweiser Chevrolet, during Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Folds of Honor QuikTrip 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway in Hampton, Ga. Johnson went on to win Sunday’s Sprint Cup race. Harvick won Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series race at Atlanta.

outside of the front row, also was sent to the back of the field after blowing an engine during Saturday’s practice.

He quickly worked his way through slower cars, got to the front and dominated long stretches of the race, leading a race-high 116 laps.

For much of the day, it was clean race despite a new rules package for non-restrictor plate

races, which reduced horsepower and drag while giving drivers a device to adjust the car’s balance during the race.

The first big crash came on lap 258, taking out Gordon, Denny Hamlin and Jamie McMurray.

Then, on lap 305, Greg Biffle clipped Joe Nemechek going into the third turn, gobbling up four other cars and bringing out the red flag.

Harvick claims third straight Xfinity race at Atlanta HAMPTON, Ga. (AP) — Kevin Harvick turned in another dominating performance Saturday at Atlanta Motor Speedway, holding off Daytona 500 winner Joey Logano in the Xfinity Series race.

Harvick has won the Atlanta race in NASCAR’s second-tier series three years in a row and four times overall.

Logano has been the runnerup the last two years.

No one else was even close on this day.

“It seems like I finish second on this track all the time,” said Logano, who came up just short of a victory from the pole. “I’m going to keep running this Xfinity Series race until I win it.”

Good luck beating Harvick, the defending Sprint Cup champion and a 45-time winner in the Xfinity cars.

In Atlanta, he’s especially tough, having mastered the art of running strong at the bottom of a track that is infamously rough on tires.

“He’s a great talent,” said Dale Earnhardt Jr., owner of the winning No. 88 car. “Kevin has got a knack at this place. When he comes to Atlanta, he’s hard to beat.”

Harvick won a race off pit road under yellow with 27 laps to go, which proved to be crucial in holding off Logano.

On the restart, Harvick had the prime inside position, and

Logano’s bid to pass from the outside was thwarted when Chase Elliott gave Harvick a bit of a nudge.

“That pit stop was what won the race,” Harvick said.

Logano made one last push for the front.

A vibrating right rear tire ended any hope of catching Harvick, who won by 1.207 seconds with an average speed of 149.813 mph.

“Once it got really bad, I couldn’t keep up with Kevin anymore,” Logano said. “It just kept getting worse.”

Ty Dillon was a distant third, the top finisher among drivers eligible for the Xfinity Series championship.

he (White) made it.”

Mike Gesell (14), Gabriel Olaseni (12), Josh Oglesby (12) and Jarrod Uthoff (11) also scored in double figures for the Hawkeyes (1910, 10-6), who were 25-of-27 from the freethrow line.

Newbill scored 19 points for Penn State (15-14, 3-13), which has lost 10 Big Ten games by nine points or fewer.

Shep Garner added 17 points, Geno Thorpe 14 and Ross Travis 10 for the Nittany Lions.

Iowa won its fourth straight game, is 6-3 in conference road games and 6-2 in February.

Penn State has not won since Feb. 7 and has lost five straight.

With the game tied at 74-all, Gesell sank one free throw for an Iowa lead and Newbill followed with the turnover and White was fouled.

White converted both free throws for a 77-74 lead and added four more free throws to clinch the win.

Wildcats swipe win away from 12th-ranked Clones M A N H A T TA N , Kan. (AP) — Iowa State coach Fred Hoiberg wouldn’t h a v e wanted it any other way. The Cyclones had a o n e p o i n t advantage and Niang leadingscorer Georges Niang throwing the ball inbounds with less than 20 seconds left.

But 6-foot-7 Kansas State forward Wesley Iwundu had another outcome in mind.

Iwundu capped a 22-9 scoring run with a steal and two-handed slam that gave Kansas State a 70-69 win over No. 12 Iowa State on Saturday.

“It’s tough,” Hoiberg said. “You put the ball in your best player’s hands, and I trust Georges is going to make the right play 99 percent of the time.”

Kansas State (15-

15, 8-9 Big 12) tied the game at 66-all with a tip-in by Justin Edwards with 59.4 seconds left.

Iwundu gave Kansas State a 68-66 lead 13 seconds later, and the Cyclones responded with a 3-point play by Monte Morris.

Iwundu’s steal and slam proved redemptive after the sophomore had missed a free throw. He finished with 11 points.

The Wildcats held Iowa State (20-8, 106) to 38 percent shooting in the second half, which followed 8-of-15 shooting from 3-point range in the opening 20 minutes.

Nigel Johnson led Kansas State with 17 points after scoring a career-high 20 points in an upset of No. 8 Kansas on Monday night.

Justin Edwards added a season-high 16 points.

Niang led Iowa State with 21 points on 8-of-16 shooting.

He added a career-high five 3-pointers for the Cyclones, who came in averaging a Big-12 best 79.4 points.

AMES (AP) — Iowa State senior Fallon Ellis began her final home game by singing “The Star Spangled Banner.”

Ellis’s rendition of the national anthem paled in comparison to her brilliant Hilton Coliseum finale — which might have been enough to seal an NCAA tournament bid.

Ellis scored a career-high 18 points and unranked Iowa State stunned No. 3 Baylor 76-71 on Saturday, handing the Lady Bears their second straight loss after a 26-1 start and giving coach Bill Fennelly his 600th win.

Brynn Williamson added 17 for the Cyclones (18-10, 9-8 Big 12), who knocked off their second topfive opponent this season.

Nina Davis scored 16 points for the Lady Bears, who dropped consecutive games for just the second time since 2010.

The Cyclones took control with a 14-2 run, jumping ahead 61-52 midway through the second half on back-to-back 3s from Ellis.

Missouri Valley Conference regular season championship.

Fred VanVleet added 13 points for the Shockers (27-3, 17-1 Missouri Valley) while Tekele Cotton and Evan Wessel scored 11 each.

Seth Tuttle scored 16 points to lead Northern Iowa (27-3, 16-2), which had a 16game winning streak snapped. No other Panther scored in double figures.

Northern Iowa entered the game allowing 53.8 points a game, fourth best nationally.

Up 12 at halftime, Wichita State extended its lead in the first five minutes. A Baker layup, VanVleet jumper and Shaquille Morris dunk equaled a quick 6-0 run that give the Shockers a 51-33 lead with 15:20 remaining.

The Panthers shot their way back into the game behind the 3-point line.

Four 3-pointers, two from Paul Jesperson, accounted for a 12-0 Panthers

a timeout, a rarity for him.

It was still a four-point game when Wessel — who entered the game shooting 32.9 percent from the 3-point line — hit a wideopen trey from the baseline.

Wessel hit another 3-pointer a minute later, part of an 11-3 run that gave the Shockers a 68-56 lead with 4:02 remaining.

Through the game’s initial 10 minutes, UNI had things going to plan.

The Panthers, who beat the Shockers in Cedar Falls earlier this year, built a 20-16 lead, and Tuttle had helped force Wichita State’s top two centers into foul trouble.

But the Shockers finished the half on a 22-6 run.

The Shockers have won 32 straight home games, fourth longest active streak nationally.

Northern Iowa and Wichita State compete at the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament on Friday in St. Louis.

IOWA CITY (AP) — Melissa Dixon hit eight 3-pointers and scored 27 points, two other players got close to triple-doubles on Sunday and No. 17 Iowa set a record for home wins with a 92-76 win over Minnesota that also secured No. 2 seed in the Big Ten tournament for the Hawkeyes.

Samantha Logic had 24 points, 13 assists and 6 rebounds and Bethany Doolittle had 12 points, 12 rebounds and 9 blocks for the Hawkeyes (23-6, 14-4), who won their 16th home game, finishing unbeaten for the fifth time.

Shae Kelly had 29 points and 12 rebounds for the Golden Gophers (22-8, 11-7), who are the sixth seed in the tournament. Amanda Zahui B., who had 39 points and 29 rebounds in a 93-80 win over Iowa 12 days earlier, had 22 points, 21 rebounds and seven blocks.

Dixon and Logic had 12 points at the half as Iowa took a 42-37 lead.

The Hawkeyes hit 7-of-11 3-pointers and 9-of-10 free throws in the second half.

Astrograph Monday, March 2, 2015

The Leo moon aligns with Jupiter in Leo to impart upon us the importance of storytelling. Tomorrow brings a lucky fire trine to further emphasize the point.

If you’re already an expert storyteller, do share your talent! If you could use work on this life skill, start practicing. Fortune favors those who use words to create emotional involvement.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 2). There is more than one right way to solve problems. This year you’ll experiment. You’ll meet forward-thinking friends over the next 10 weeks.

Someone helps you put together a plan for financial and personal gain in April, and you’ll implement it in the months that follow.

Group projects and travel are featured in June. Capricorn and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 14, 19, 28 and 50.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Through the principles that rule boomerangs, you’ll get to experience the same kind of generosity you flung out to the

world only a short while ago. Keep this karma game going!

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s been said that inside every uncreative person is an artist who died young. Whatever people told you in the past about your creative works, you will be inspired to overcome their influence and express yourself freely.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ll wake up and care for yourself and hope that the care lasts all day long. If midway through the day you start feeling the need for some attention and tenderness, stop what you’re doing and find it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Angry people talk faster than they think and say things they don’t mean.

You’ve witnessed something rather unpleasant, and you’ve decided to let it go and move on. That’s why you get to experience today’s emotional rainbow.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will be inspired to transcend your identifica-

tion with a certain role you play. You may still have to play the role, but you won’t feel trapped by it. You’ll be like an actor, having fun with the part.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You need your own space to think and work and just be you. Lately something or someone has infringed on that space, and you miss it. You’ll have to be assertive to get back what was yours.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’ll be presenting a story or idea to a group. They will remember the beginning and the end the best, so focus on an opening that will intrigue them and an ending that will wow them.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You may feel overwhelmed, but you also, wisely, realize that this is a gift. It means your life is super-full. You can always cut back, reschedule and reorganize. It’s better than being underwhelmed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It seems there are many who would like to

give you a good reason to part with your money, but you’re pretty firm about sticking to your original plans. They’ll keep pitching to you, and you’ll keep saying no.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s said that the young can’t know how older people think and feel, but this premise will be challenged over the course of the day. Some people are quite remarkably wiser than their years.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). There’s a certain kind of intimacy that happens when you have people over to your home, which is why the ones you invite will feel privileged for the offer of your hospitality.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t realize how close you are to success.

Do not give up! Now is your chance to rally your team, tally your resources and sound your battle cry before advancing.
