Pipeline Prep

City eyes townhome development at former country club Mike Mendenhall/Daily News A stockpile of 30-inch pipe waits in a farm field north of Highway 6 East on East 76th Street North, three miles east of Newton. The pipe intended for the pending Dakota Access Pipeline began arriving in Jasper County in April 2015.

The Texas-based company is preparing for construction of the 1,168-mile project to begin this spring.

Crews preparing for Bakken pipeline construction

By Mike Mendenhall and Jason Brooks Newton Daily News REASNOR — Now that the Iowa Utilities Board has granted Dakota Access a construction permit and eminent domain rights to build a crude oil pipeline through 18 Iowa counties, many residents on the ground are asking when they can expect to see backhoes and pipeline welders on the ground.

According to Reasnor landowner Carroll VanGorp, he’s already seen small crews hired by the Texas-based pipeline company on his property, ready to mark the route and cut timber.

VanGorp said Dakota Access representatives came to his house Saturday, and again Tuesday.

“There were a couple of guys who came out to my place Saturday morning, saying they were ready to cut trees,” VanGorp said.

“They said they were from Okla-

homa, and had only been on the job for two days. I told them to go see the county, because I said I didn’t know yet if that was OK.” Labor union officials in Iowa estimate the pipeline construction to begin in earnest by May, but Dakota Access spokesperson Vicki Granado would not confirm Tuesday these reported prep crews were active in Jasper County. Surveyors contracted by the company have been analyzing parcels on the path since the public informational meetings in November and December of 2014.

“The project crews are preparing for the start of construction, however, construction has not yet begun. We have not released any more specific information at this time regarding the construction timetable,” she said.

Construction of the pipeline will not necessarily follow the geographic route, Granado said, but will be done in “spreads,”

building different sections of the pipeline simultaneously.

ETP has hired two subcontractors to build the 343-mile Iowa segment of the DAPL — Eau Claire, Wis. firm Precision Pipeline and Michels Pipeline Construction of Brownsville, Wis. The 1,168-mile project will cross four states from the Bakken Oil Fields in North Dakota to a pipeline hub and refineries in Patoka, Ill. DAPL could transport 570,000 barrels of crude oil daily.

Precision is in final negotiations with the City of Colfax and the town’s nonprofit parks auxiliary board to use a small portion of its 480-acre outdoor North Park rec facility, currently in the early stages of development, to store small equipment. The city council agreed Monday in a 4-0 vote to approve a $4,000 per month, 1-year lease agreement with Precision.

PIPELINE | 3A

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Newton City Council will consider a $106,000 land purchase at its Monday meeting.

The land, 4.25 acres located west of the former Newton County Club pro shop, is owned by William Talsma and

would be used to development a townhome community.

The city is taking the steps to purchase property for development to meet the need of a townhome development in the community according to city administrator Bob Knabel in his report to the council. He said the city has found that current Newton residents have said it is difficult to find high-quality town home options that provide ease of living, with all exterior maintenance being covered.

Human trafficking Jasper County Health opens new clinic bill sent to governor’s desk Legislation creates office to combat human trafficking

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Even though legislative efforts intended to abate human trafficking requires annual funding to be effective, there is finally a bill on the governor’s desk.

By a unanimous vote of 98-0, the Iowa House voted to pass SF 2191 on Wednesday, sending the bill to Gov. Terry Branstad for what will likely be his approval.

The Senate passed the bill, 50-0, in late Febru-

ary.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News With the creation of the Jasper County Health Department, a space was needed to conduct clinics and department business. That need was filled

by converting an office into a spacious clinic in the basement of the Jasper County Annex building.

“It actually seems like it has always been here, the way it flows.

The main feature in the room is an over-sized industrial refrigerator that stores immunizations for immunization clinics held weekly by the department.

The blue refrigerator cools from back to front and has drawers throughout to store the supplies.

“The refrigerator system has a continual monitoring system on it to monitor the temperature. It is important to keep our vaccines at a stable temperature,” Pryor said. “We’re getting ready to have a system where it is hooked into the phone system and it can notify us if it goes off.”

A freezer is also located in the room to house any vaccines that are required to be frozen.

Prayer said the freezer will also be a part of the same instant notification system as the refrigerator to let the administrators know if anything has changed in the cooling system.

Red & Black Shack changes in store Revenue at a fraction of opening year

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News If you pass through one of Newton High School’s main hallways these days, you might still see students in the Red & Black Shack, laughing and enjoying the store and small lounge area.

However, you might not see some of the elements you saw 10 years ago, such as students from all four grades or a fast-moving line generating consistent snack sales all morning.

The Red & Black Shack was started during the 2005-06 school year as a NHS Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) club project.

Local & State News Pipeline Continued from Page 1A Colfax officials said Precision originally proposed an $8,000 per month lease agreement last year and considered using the town of 2,100 as a construction hub. At one point, there was talk that local Colfax hotels and land could be used for pipeline workers’ temporary housing during construction.

“At first they were going to use this property extensively,” Colfax Mayor David Mast said. “And later on they said it’s too far to one end of the project and we only want to store things there.”

But project planners still have a bit of negotiating left to do. Anticipated lawsuits could slow up construction and an appeal of the IUB ruling will be filed in district court lead by the Iowa Sierra Club. The environmental group’s attorney Wallace Taylor told Newton Daily News he expects to file the appeal in the next couple of weeks.

In a statement released to media outlets the day following IUB’s ruling, Dakota Access released the percentage of parcels where voluntary easements have been signed by the landowners. These easements will allow the land to be excavated and the pipeline buried. In Iowa, 82 percent of landowners have signed on, the lowest number of agreements in the four-state project.

“As of today, Dakota Access has

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | March 18, 2016 | 3A

secured voluntary easement agreements on 90 percent of the properties across the four-state route with 97 percent in North Dakota, 93 percent in South Dakota, 82 percent in Iowa, and 92 percent in Illinois,” Granado wrote March 11. “Dakota Access will continue to work with landowners to negotiate voluntary easement agreements as construction begins.”

According to Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty, the county condemnation board has 14 hearings set with property owners involved in eminent domain proceedings with Dakota Access. The board has 26 members and the sheriff recommend Tuesday that Jasper County Board of Supervisors appoint another six to handle the abnormal level of cases.

VanGorp said he reluctantly became one of the Jasper County landowners to sign paperwork to allow one of the pipeline’s 50-foot-wide easements to be placed on his land, and other members of his family did the same. However, he thinks any contractors doing work now, before getting any kind of local clearance or go-ahead to begin work, is out of sequence.

“We should be hearing something directly from the county,” VanGorp said. “If you ask me, these contractors are kind of jumping the gun.”

Dakota Access request insurance documents remain confidential A new request filed by Dakota Access with the Iowa Utilities Board Wednesday ask the utility regulator to keep documents associated with a board-mandated $25 million insurance policy for the project confidential.

The motion states, “As demonstrated by the affidavit of Joey Mahmoud attached hereto, the insurance policy and parental guarantees contain confidential, protectable business information of Dakota Access.

Accordingly, Dakota Access is filing the insurance policy and parental guarantees herewith as confidential attachments to its compliance filings, and respectfully requests that the board grant permanent confidential status to the insurance policy and parental guarantees submitted herewith.”

As part of the conditions of the IUB permit, Dakota Access’s parent company Energy Transfer Partners is required to give unconditional guarantees it would pay for damages associated with a pipeline oil spill or leak. The company also filed a modified agricultural mitigation plan and is asking the IUB expedite the pipeline permit so Dakota Access can begin construction. The Iowa Sierra Club has filed a motion of re-

Trafficking Continued from Page 1A Rep. Dan Kelley (D-Newton), Rep. Greg Heartsill (R-Columbia), Sen. Chaz Allen (D-Newton) and Sen. Amy Sinclair (R-Allerton) have spoken out against human trafficking and the need for awareness and action.

“We put policy in place, but we’re not done by any means,” Allen said. “But this is a good start.”

The bill calls for the commissioner of public safety to appoint a coordinator to staff the office, with the number of personnel to be determined by allocated funding. Allen said one of the benefits of having the office is it gives the legislature the ability to send funding somewhere specific to target human trafficking.

“We can now divert resources to this,” Allen said. “Human trafficking is new to all of us.

Funds from Newton Housing Initiative would pay for the purchase.

sistance asking IUB to deny Dakota Access’s request.

Dakota Access requests drew quick response from lead activist organizations which have been critical of the IUB permitting process.

Adam Mason, state policy organizing director at Iowa Citizens of Community Improvement charged the pipeline company in a statement Thursday with trying to hide the financial guarantee from the public.

“Dakota Access keeping Iowans in the dark is proof that they only have their own self-interest and profits in mind. This pipeline is not a done deal. We are going to keep fighting for a clean energy Iowa,” Mason said.

The Iowa Army Corp of Engineers is the largest agency still to approve a permit for the project which would allow the pipeline to bore underneath the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. Some smaller county level agencies will also have to issue permits for the pipeline.

But Dakota Access will be able to begin construction of other areas of the project not affected by the Army Core permit once the IUB and Iowa Department of Natural Resources find conditions for their permits are met.

victim is assaulted an average of 15 to 20 times each day.

Ferjak praised the Newton community for having more than 40 people at a talk about human trafficking and for helping create a coalition called “Newton Says No to Human Trafficking.” He said both of those benchmarks represent progress.

Gary Worthan (R-Storm Lake), who is House Justice Systems Appropriations Subcommittee chairman, warned that lawmakers have added duties and responsibilities to the DPS, which has struggled to retain its staffing during lean budget years.

Jasper County Attorney Mike Jacobsen said the funding component from the legislature is a critical element if there is progress to be made from setting up a human trafficking office.

“The bill establishes an office and directs the commissioner of public safety to appoint a coordinator to staff the office,”

“We have a lot of educational materials to hand out during the vaccine clinics.

Jacobsen said. “The bill does not provide funding for the coordinator position, nor for other staff. In fact, it says staff can be hired if funding is available.”

Jacobsen said he thinks a new DPS office might have little interaction with county attorneys.

“I would suspect that much like the Office of Drug Control Policy, local prosecutors like myself and staff would rarely have contact with an office of human trafficking,” he said.

Co-founder of Newton Says No to Human Trafficking Lynn Keller said she was pleased to see legislation headed to Branstad’s desk.

“This is progress,” Keller said.

“Legislation that would result in the coordination of efforts to combat human trafficking is a crucial step in rescuing trafficking victims and helping them become survivors.”

A book of stamps, please

By Kate Malott Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | March 18, 2016

A friend’s mother passed away this week so I went out to buy him a nice card.

I needed one stamp, so I went to the post office and stood in line. I heard a familiar saying as a man ahead of me approached the counter and said, “A book of stamps, please.”

At first, I thought, what ever will he do with a book of stamps? But then I remembered that for many, including myself, the mail has always been and always will be a routine part of communication and society.

The United States Postal Service, a new stamp style and certainly stationary have always been fond to me. There is something so satisfying in finding beautiful mint condition paper with matching envelopes often sealed with a sticker and sending it to a dear loved one. I love the different

colors, fonts and even patterns.

To me, nothing says “I care about you” more than high quality paper.

I enjoy a fine black ink ball pen and the time it takes to pen a kindly composed note.

But, as many know, individual mail delivery has declined in the country during the last 15 years. People don’t take the time to send postcards, thank yous or notes as we once so often did.

After receiving a nice card so sweetly addresses to “The future Mrs. Jenkins,” I decided to create a “Book of Stamps” challenge to revive my days of stationary.

I will spend 20 consecutive weeks sending a note in the mail to someone special. This week, I sent a sympathy card, maybe next week I’ll send a letter to an old friend and maybe the week after that I’ll send a birthday card to my aunt or

a retirement card to my uncle.

There’s always something to say and the postal service is indeed a service to allow you to communicate. And like many new endeavors, I did some stamp research.

According to The American Philatelist: — The stamp is a British invention. In 1837, British Postmaster General Sir Rowland Hill introduced the “Post Office Reforms” whereby the mail could go anywhere in the British Isles at the same rate and postage was to be paid by the sender not the addressee. The proposal was heavily debated for a few years, but was enacted and instituted in 1840.

— The first stamp was designed by Hill and cost one penny. It had the profile of Queen Victoria. Because the stamp was printed in black, the 1-cent stamp soon became known as the world’s most

popular stamp “Penny Black.”

— In 1847, the United States Post Office Department printed its first stamps, a 5-cent stamp picturing Benjamin Franklin and a 10-cent stamp picturing George Washington.

— Stamp booklets were first issued April 16,1900.

— The first stamp honoring an American woman was the eight-cent Martha Washington stamp of 1902. The first to honor a Hispanic American was the one-dollar Admiral David Farragut stamp in 1903.

The first Native American to feature a specific individual was the five-cent stamp honoring Pocahontas in 1907. The first to honor an African American was a 10-cent stamp commemorating Booker T. Washington in 1940.

Well my friend, a little of both is my answer to you, but yes I do believe in part “the whole world is a stage.” A testament to this is our want-a-be-presidents.

actually more self-serving. Human nature perhaps. Now the question might be did I state an opinion or an absolute fact?

Like I have said before, we all have opinions and belly buttons. In my opinion, our presidents or directors of anything should be reasonably honest, strong, intelligent and knowledgeable of many things, but no one can possibly know it all. Presidents or directors and we the people should be willing to serve the cause by drawing from the wealth of other minds. In our elections we often hear many promises from candidates knowing they cannot deliver nor should they be able to by themselves only.

That is why we have a Congress and in our social or civil world we have boards, not allowing dictators or cliques.

One of my “belly button opinions” is this: In a family there are times we need to be very conservative and there are times we need to be very liberal for the good of the family.

If dad or mom attempts to live either extreme or the other to its fullest meaning of the word, will it be a prosperous solid happy family? And if mom and dad or others in the family constantly demand grandma and grandpa for more support either in benefits or dollars to raise their family, is that a good thing?

various groups throughout Jasper County. He has met with mayors, educators, administrators, community leaders and citizens from every community in the district.

If elected, he will continue to do so. Wes understands that not everyone will always agree, but they are entitled to have their voices heard and concerns addressed.

Jasper County needs a representative that will unite Jasper County leaders and citizens, not divide them. I believe that candidate is Wes Breckenridge. Please consider joining me in supporting Wes in the Democratic primary for the Iowa House of Representatives.

the night’s events and the tribute to my son, Jeff. As many know, Jeff lost his battle with cancer five years ago.

Jeff truly enjoyed coaching these girls, watching their progress not only as basketball players, but as individuals. He was a staunch Cardinal supporter.

Jeff loved being around people as was evident to all who frequented the “Cardinal Corner.”

It pleases me beyond measure to know that Jeff made a difference in the lives of these young girls. I know that they made a difference in his. Congratulations on a fine season. Go Cardinals!

Editor’s note: This column originally published Oct. 16, 2015.

Maybe you wouldn’t know it by just c asuall y visiting with me, but apparently I have a mean streak a mile long. By Dana King Since h u b by and I are both on the other side of 50 (I’m not saying how far), we’re not what you’d call “tech savvy” people. We can generally figure out how to do what we need to do when it comes to our home electronics. Earlier this year I found an app for my tablet and cell phone from my satellite provider, similar to the TV remote we use at home. I thought I could use it for those times when we’re not home and want to record a program we wanted to watch.

So anyway…

We were sitting watching television one evening, me with my tablet in hand (catching up on my emails and Facebook) and hubby with the television remote in his. He’s your typical channel surfer — a commercial comes on and his thumb starts dancing across the remote.

Unbeknownst to hubby, I had synced my tablet to the receiver on my television, which means I had complete control over our programming choices through the app on my tablet. So when the channel would unexpectedly change while he was in charge of the remote, he was absolutely befuddled.

His only comments were directed at the satellite company and its inferior equipment — that’s the G-rated version — as I sat just six feet away, trying to feign interest in my tablet and show no emotion as my diabolical scheme was now in action. Of course, I was clever enough to not overplay my hand that evening, changing channels on him sporadically and sparingly.

Early the next morning he was in the living room watching the news while I was in the kitchen

pouring coffee, my tablet in hand. As I slyly used my tablet to again switch channels on the TV he was watching, I heard a somewhat colorful variation of “This stupid thing is doing it again!” That’s right, I didn’t even have to be in the same room with the television to control it. I wish I could convey how much fun I was having playing this maniacal prank.

I quietly made my way back upstairs, leaving hubby to smack the remote a few times and check the batteries, which those of us with limited technical knowledge figure will fix about anything. I strained to keep my laughter muffled, tears literally streaming down my cheeks. I thought if I could just keep a straight face in hubby’s presence, this could entertain me for days — maybe even years.

However my joy was short-lived. The following evening as we settled in to watch TV — me with my tablet in hand and hubby with the remote in his — I let him do his thing, searching the on-screen guide to find what he wanted to watch. Just as he landed on a program, I once again cunningly changed the channel. His disgust was mounting and it was all I could do to keep my stoic composure.

Then, my phone rang and while I was momentarily distracted, hubby decided enough was enough and called the satellite company. Oh my gosh! The jig was up! I couldn’t let him complain to the representative on the phone about their shoddy equipment when the only problem with our satellite service was my twisted sense of humor.

I began flailing my arms at him, pleading with him to hang up, explaining I was the cause of the “defective” equipment. After explaining the whole story to him, he had a good laugh. I think he was impressed with my shenanigans.

I know it sure was fun ... while it lasted.

Dad is disturbed by his ex’s revolving door relationships DEAR ABBY: I was in a sixyear relationship with a woman.

We shared a home and have a child together, whom I support.

She has primary custody, and I provide financial support and exercise my visitations regularly.

We broke up six months ago and she immediately moved a man into the house. Since they split up, she has done this again with a new person.

I have moved on and am content being single and focusing on my career and parenting my son when he’s with me. Where I struggle is when these new men want to meet me. I don’t feel obligated to shake their hands, be polite and friendly or be a supportive, smiling face.

I’m disturbed by the speed she moves into other relationships. I feel like it sets a bad example for my son regardless of how “nice” these men are. There is no record of abuse, and I do believe my ex is a good mother, just maybe lonely and very dependent on having companionship.

I understand life goes on and people move on, but at what point is this unhealthy? Am I wrong for not wanting to be friends with my ex and her new “guy friend” whenever she decides she should be accompanied for custody exchange?

I refuse to speak to or acknowledge these men. I am not confrontational, but I literally have nothing to say. Any advice how to handle this moving forward? — FAKING SMILES DEAR FAKING SMILES: I subscribe to the philosophy that one can never have enough friends. You don’t have to approve of your ex’s boyfriends, but it is in

your child’s best interest to maintain a relationship that approximates cordiality. It won’t hurt you to shake hands and be on a firstname basis with the men who occupy space in your son’s life even temporarily. When we can’t change something, sometimes we have to accept it — and that’s what you would be wise to do.

DEAR ABBY: I’m sure there are many others who would like to know this: I’m trying to downsize. I have a World Book Encyclopedia set from the ‘70s, plus yearbooks I’d like to find a home for. My kids are gone and living on their own, and the books haven’t been opened in years. I refuse to throw them in the recycling bin. Any ideas? — JOY IN NEW YORK DEAR JOY: I did a quick search online to see what other people might be doing with their old encyclopedias. A solution popped up that might help you: Immigrants who are learning English as a second language may be able to use them if you offer them in a yard sale. A high school in your area might also be able to use them.

Two people injured in grain elevator explosion 1

HINTON — Two people were seriously injured in a northwest Iowa grain elevator explosion. The explosion occurred just after 1 p.m. Thursday at Central Valley Ag in Hinton. Plymouth County Sheriff Mike Van Otterloo says two people were taken to a Sioux City hospital in serious condition.

Authorities have not identified the victims, and the cause of the explosion hasn’t been determined. Some roads were closed through Hinton to allow emergency crews to quickly reach the grain elevator.

SIOUX CITY — A state senator from Sioux City has decided to challenge fellow Republican Steve King for his seat in Congress. Sen. Rick Bertrand filed the primary election papers Thursday. The 46-year-old Bertrand is a Sioux City real estate developer. He was first elected to the state Senate in 2010 and re-elected in 2014. He can run for King’s 4th District seat while maintaining his state Senate seat. The 65-year-old King is seeking his eighth term in the U.S. House.

Senate Democrats revive oversight bills on Medicaid, schools The Associated Press DES MOINES — Senate Democrats revived an effort Thursday to expand state oversight of Medicaid and boarding schools in Iowa, and House Republicans said they support some aspects of the proposals but would introduce their own versions.

The five-member Senate Government Oversight Committee voted to advance legislation that would add oversight to Iowa’s $4.2 billion Medicaid program as well as to pri-

vate facilities that offer residential services to minors. The bills now head to the Democratic-majority Senate, which approved nearly identical legislation earlier this session when they were brought up by separate policy committees. Those bills did not survive a legislative deadline, and their placement on the oversight committee was a maneuver to revive them this year. The committee can introduce bills that are not subject to such deadlines.

Republican leaders say they’re supportive of

oversight on both issues, but they’ve indicated they plan to introduce their own bills.

House Speaker Linda Upmeyer, R-Clear Lake, said lawmakers in her chamber are working on legislation that addresses oversight of Medicaid, the program that provides health care services to roughly 560,000 poor and disabled people. It is scheduled to switch to private management on April 1, and critics have expressed concern about the transition. State officials say they’ve addressed those con-

cerns, but some advocacy groups and Senate Democrats say they’re still receiving complaints from Medicaid recipients and health providers.

Upmeyer said House lawmakers intend to introduce a bill soon and meet with Senate Democrats “looking for common ground, looking at the pieces they agree on and kind of having conversations where perhaps they don’t agree.”

Rep. Bobby Kaufmann, R-Wilton and chairman of the House Government Oversight Committee,

has launched an investigation into Midwest Academy, a nowclosed boarding school in southeast Iowa that prompted the legislation on boarding schools.

Authorities are investigating sex abuse allegations at the facility, which was not licensed by the state but was still able to operate.

Kaufmann said he intends to introduce similar but separate legislation from what is advancing through the Senate. It would include penalties for private facilities that post false advertisement about their

services and acknowledge schools that already follow some state regulation.

Sen. Herman Quirmbach, D-Ames and chairman of the Senate Education Committee, pushed the original oversight bill on boarding schools. He acknowledged Kaufmann’s efforts and said he was hopeful the issue isn’t dead, but he said House Republicans “dropped the ball” by not advancing the original legislation.

Upmeyer said Quirmbach is entitled to his opinion and the topic will be addressed.

DES MOINES — Two-time Emmy and Grammy award-winning comedian Kathy Griffin is a towering figure on television, on tour and in publishing.

She breaks through the entertainment clutter with her universally recognized brand of pullno-punches comedy.

Currently touring, Griffin will make a stop at Hoyt Sherman Place on May 19. Show time is 8 p.m. Tickets go on sale to the public on Friday. To purchase tickets, visit the Hoyt Sherman Place Box Office, Ticketmaster.com or call 800-745-3000.

In 2014, Griffin made history with her 6th consecutive Grammy nomination and first win for Best Comedy Album (Kathy Griffin: Calm Down Gurrl), joining Whoopi Goldberg and Lily Tomlin as the only other female comedians to ever win Grammy awards for Best Comedy Album.

In 2013, Griffin was inducted into the Guinness Book of World Records for writing and starring in an unprecedented 20 televised stand-up specials — more than any comedian in history. Buoyed by her dedicated and engaged fans, Griffin’s live standup performances are legendary and in a class of their own. Hun-

dreds of thousands of people flock to see her perform sold out shows everywhere from Carnegie Hall to the Sydney Opera House.

Griffin draws a huge audience to CNN’s New Year’s Eve special, which she has co-hosted with Anderson Cooper since 2007, beating Fox News in the coveted ratings demographic.

She is one of television’s go-to hosts for premier live events, including The Billboard Music Awards LIVE, the 41st annual Daytime Emmy Awards LIVE, and AARP’s Movies for Grownups Gala.

Griffin’s sure-fire hosting success led to her own LIVE late night talk show, Kathy.

Lawmakers adjust available money for next fiscal year The Associated Press DES MOINES — Iowa will have about $7.35 billion to spend for the fiscal year that begins in July, House Republicans announced Thursday, a new calculation that likely means Gov. Terry Branstad and Senate Democrats will have to scale back their proposed budgets.

House leaders said the new number is in response to the latest revenue projections, announced Wednesday by state budget experts, who determined

Iowa will have lower-than-expected sales tax collections in the next fiscal year. However, there is about $176 million in new money available than what was in the current fiscal year budget.

Iowa law requires the Legislature to balance the budget every year. The new figure will not affect the House, which released lower budget targets a few weeks ago, said Rep. Pat Grassley, R-New Hartford and chairman of the Appropriation Committee.

“This proves the point that you need to use conservative budgeting principles when putting a budget together,” he said.

The House Republicans’ budget is about $7.32 billion.

Branstad and Democrats confirmed the new estimate Thursday, and Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, said his chamber is determining new budget numbers but he did not provide details. The original Senate budget proposal proposes spending roughly $7.39

billion.

“We continue to work very quickly. The pie has been set,” he said.

Branstad spokesman Ben Hammes said the governor’s office is reviewing the information. Branstad released budget recommendations in January that estimated spending about $7.41 billion.

Republicans say the revenue projections add clarity as lawmakers seek agreement on the next budget, and the availability of about $176 million could

provide more money for basic aid for K-12 education, which has been a sticking point for Senate Democrats.

Rep. Ron Jorgensen, R-Sioux City and chairman of the House Education Committee, said he and other lawmakers are working out the details, but he could see more money on the issue.

“I think that’s what we’re trying to lead towards doing as much as we possibly can but still being cognizant of the other needs around the state, too,” he said.

Baxter’s EMS in need of volunteers to improve response times

By Alex Olp Jasper County Tribune BAXTER — Baxter’s emergency medical services could be undergoing some changes in the near future in an effort to increase the amount of volunteers on the department and improve response times to local emergency calls.

Mayor Steve Smith addressed public concern about the EMS services during Monday’s city council meeting.

Baxter’s EMS is contracted with Newton and Colfax, and according to Smith, Newton EMTs have been responding to Baxter more and more recently.

The mayor said he met with Newton Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik, who expressed several concerns he had with the Baxter ambulance crew’s response times and wanted to remove the three-call system it had in place between

the two cities.

In the past, Baxter would be paged three times, and if a local EMT didn’t respond Newton would answer the call.

“Some of the concerns their EMTs had were about the way it was set up originally,” Smith said. “Wellik said we can come up with a deal that when Baxter gets called Newton’s going to get called at the same time. And if Baxter has a crew, all they need to do is disregard Newton. Newton paramedics were concerned about too much time being spent in between the first three calls before they finally came up.”

Baxter resident Nancy Foreman, who addressed the mayor and the council Monday about the issue, had a concern about a recent 911 call taking 40 minutes for an ambulance to arrive on scene. “(Baxter) had a

driver ready and the driver sat here for 40 minutes and no EMT ever came. Finally, they called Newton,” Foreman said.

Baxter’s ambulance crew has nine EMTs, who get paid $30 per call, but the mayor said only six of them respond if they are

available. Many of the volunteers have fulltime jobs as well as families and are unable to find babysitters when calls go through.

Having more volunteers and drivers on the ambulance crew will ultimately increase response times since it raises the likelihood of

at least one EMT being available to answer a call.

Smith served more than 18 years as a Baxter EMT and said it can be scary sometimes being alone in the back of an ambulance as the only responder to a call. The department has began looking into

ways to increase its volunteer numbers in order to assure Baxter has multiple EMTs responding to calls.

“Even though they are volunteers, they still get paid for the time they go out.

Some of those moneys are minuscule for the amount of time they put in,” Smith said.

“There’s talk about maybe increasing that (payment) or making more training available at a reasonable cost.”

Smith encouraged citizens to volunteer for the department and emphasized that the town’s ambulance is strictly an emergency response vehicle and not a transport vehicle.

He also mentioned, in the near future, the policy of Baxter’s ambulance will require the transportation of a patient to the nearest medical center, as opposed to a hospital of the patient’s choice.

Spring fever hits — road trip

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Coming out of the blocks strong is Newton High’s Matthew Karsten in Thursday’s 2016 Little Hawkeye Conference Indoor Track Meet at Grinnell College. Karsten rolled to a conference championship in the 200-meter dash.

Cardinals capture LHC indoor event titles

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News GRINNELL — Three was a good number for Newton High’s Cardinal track teams Thursday at the 2016 Little Hawkeye Conference Indoor Meet at Grinnell College’s Bear Athletic Center.

The Cardinal girls won three event championships and the Cardinal boys won three event championships. Seniors Grace Coen and Sydney Jenkins became three-time Little Hawkeye Conference indoor champions in the 800 meters and 400 meters, respectively.

Jenkins pulled away on the second lap on Grinnell’s 200-meter track on her way to winning the 400 in 1 minute, 2.50 seconds. Valda Osadcha ran seventh in 1:13.43 for Newton. Jenkins also finished second in the 200-meter dash in 27.86 seconds with Elise Axtell in eighth in 31.16.

In the 800, Coen got to the front of the pack early and steadily widen the gap. She won in 2:27.53 while teammate Michaella Cope finished 12th in 3:14.95.

Haley Revell claimed the girls’ shot put championship with a winning throw of 37 feet, 1 inch. Ali

Bestell placed seventh at 30 feet and Bailey Wall was 10th at 27-8.

All three of the Newton boys’ conference championships came on the track.

Brennen Dodd made his move to get past Oskaloosa’s Adam Carriker for the lead in the 400 meters at the end of the back stretch on the second lap. Teammate Jack Callaghan went with him. They finished 1-2 with Dodd winning in 54.05 seconds and Callaghan in second at 54.69 seconds.

Callaghan captured the 800 title by holding off Pella’s Payson VandeLune at the finish line. Callaghan’s winning time was 2:12.50 and VandeLune was second in 2:12.78. Dodd was third in 2:13.40.

Noah Sander won the first heat of the 800 in 2:15.90, which was good for fourth place. Adam Hunter placed 15th in 2:31.32.

Matthew Karsten, who finished second in the 60-meter dash earlier in the meet, exploded out the blocks on his way to winning the 200-meter dash in 24.97. Josh Miller finished second in 25.49 seconds.

Karsten’s second-place time in Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News the 60-meter dash was 7.33 seconds Newton High’s Haley Revell claims the 2016 Little CARDINALS | 8B

Hawkeye Conference indoor girls’ indoor shot put championship at Thursday’s conference meet in Grinnell.

Iowa State races past Iona to advance DENVER (AP) — His right shoulder no longer throbbing, Monte Morris felt good about Iowa State’s ability to make amends Thursday.

“The shoulder felt great.

We’ve got a great training staff. They did everything for me these past weeks to get me back feeling good,” Morris said. “Yesterday in practice it let me know mentally that I could shoot the ball at an efficient rate.”

So, after a good night’s rest, he let it fly in warmups.

No pain.

No worries.

With no lingering effects of the painful right shoulder injury that hampered him a week earlier in a loss to Oklahoma in the Big 12 tourney, Morris scored 20 points and dished out eight assists in Iowa State’s 94-81 win over 14th-seeded Iona

in the NCAA Tournament.

“The only worry I had was losing this game again,” Morris said, recalling the Cyclones’ stunning 60-59 loss to 14th-seeded UAB in the NCAA tournament a year ago.

“If I wasn’t able to get it going offensively I was going to do everything I could on the defensive end to be successful.”

Georges Niang’s 28 points led the No. 3 seed Cyclones (22-11), who had all five of their starters score in double figures — and put up all but two of the team’s points.

“Man, I felt like since Sunday all I’ve been hearing is ‘Iona is going to upset Iowa State. A.J. English, A.J. English, A.J. English,’” Niang said.

Spring fever has hit me hard so this column is short and sweet with just a few things to touch on.

While all my friends who are Kansas Jayhawk fans are in Des Moines this weekend, I’m headed to Kansas.

I’m taking advantage of this great weather By Jocelyn Sheets to get in some family time, Newton Daily News which really means Dad Sports Editor time. I might be able to see my sister and nephew before they head off on a mother-son spring break trip. My nephew turned 22 Tuesday.

When I talked to Dad, he told me he has Kansas Kids Wrestling district action Saturday, which works out because I have some business to take care of on Saturday morning.

My plans are to get to Dad’s in the late afternoon Friday to get as much time with him as I can.

March Madness is off and running. There’s a big anniversary connected with the NCAA men’s tournament — 50 years ago, 1966, Texas Western (now Texas-El Paso) upset Kentucky, 72-65, with a starting lineup of five black players. The historic win can be seen in the movie “Glory Road,” one of my favorites.

The Associated Press has several stories on the 1966 championship. The Newton Daily News will be running some, if not all, of them in the next week or so. Oklahoma’s Khadeem Lattin is the grandson of David “Big Daddy” Lattin, who played on the 1966 title time.

While most of the focus is on the NCAA tournament, I noticed something out of the NIT. Frank Martin, who left Kansas State a couple of years ago, has his South Carolina team into the second round of the NIT. I had several in-person meetings with Martin, while he was the Wildcat head coach. I really respected him as a person and a coach.

Here’s a local shout out — Four of the 14 swimmers from the Newton YMCA Penguin Swim Team, who qualified for the YMCA Regional Swim Meet, will be swimming this weekend at the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis. The regional meet has around 1,000 swimmers from YMCA swim teams in Iowa and Minnesota.

Makenna Brooks, Jadin Brooks, Chloe Kibbee and Alex Inskeep will represent Newton at the regional meet. Newton YMCA Penguin coach Shayden Brooks said swimmers had to post qualifying times at any point during the season set by the national YMCA committee.

All four swimmers qualified in the 200-yard freestyle.

MaKenna Brooks is qualified in the 100 individual medley, the 50 free and the 50 butterfly, and Jadin Brooks will compete in the 100 freestyle.

Kibbee is in the 100 butterfly, 50 backstroke, 100 backstroke, 50 freestyle and 50 butterfly. Inskeep will swim in the 100 freestyle and 50 freestyle.

Penn State leads Ohio State at NCAA wrestling championships NEW YORK (AP) — Penn State senior Morgan McIntosh pinned Kent State’s Kyle Conel at 197 pounds on Thursday, helping the Nittany Lions grab a 27.5-24 lead over defending champion Ohio State through two rounds of the NCAA wrestling championships.

McIntosh’s fall was the third pin of the day for No. 1 Penn State. Bleeding badly from his forehead, McIntosh got control of Conel and pinned him to the mat in 6:02 at Madison Square Garden. “(Ohio State’s) got a stud team and some great guys in their lineup so I’m not surprised that they’re doing well,” McIntosh said. “I think we’ll widen the lead and pick up the pace as the tournament goes on.”

After going 8-1 in the first round, Penn State sent six wrestlers into Friday morning’s quarterfinals with a strong showing in the second session. No. 5 Oklahoma State is tied for second and has seven wrestlers in the quarters.

Penn State got crucial bonus points from McIntosh and others. Top-seeded 149-pounder Zain Retherford had a pin in the second

round against Edinboro’s Patricio Lugo, and Jason Nolf added a 23-14 technical fall over Penn’s May Bethea to help pad the Nittany Lions’ team lead.

Nico Megaludis (125), Jordan Conaway (133) and Bo Nickal (174) also advanced to the quarterfinals for Penn State.

Bonus points helped Penn State win four of the last five team titles. They helped the No. 7 Buckeyes snap Penn State’s four-year run last season and pick up where they left off Thursday morning.

Ohio State went 6-2 in the first round, 5-1 in the second and sent Nathan Tomasello (125), Micah Jordan (141),

Bo Jordan (165), Myles Martin (174) and Kyle Snyder (285) into the quarterfinals.

But the Buckeyes did most of their damage in the first round. They logged four pins, a technical fall and a major decision while taking a 16.516 lead against the Nittany Lions after the first session.

Tomasello, the defend-

ing 125-pound champion, opened the tournament with a technical fall over Iowa State’s Kyle Larson and majored Indiana’s Elijah Oliver 11-2 in the second round. Johnni DiJulius, Micah Jordan, Bo Jordan and Snyder picked up opening-round falls.

After glancing up at the team score and finding Penn State slightly ahead following his 8-3 win over Virginia Tech’s David McFadden, Bo Jordan said he thinks the Buckeyes can keep pace as the tournament extends to Saturday’s finals.

“Penn State has got some freaking animals. Their whole team is beasts,” Jordan said.

“I thought for sure they were going to kill us pretty bad in bonus points the first round.

We were ahead by .5. Still, that means nothing. There’s a whole tournament to wrestle.

If the majority of our guys just wrestle to their ability, they can do really good things.”

No. 12 Nebraska is fourth with 20 and No. 4 Iowa, No. 6 Missouri and No. 3 Virginia Tech are tied for fifth with 17.5.

All No. 1 seeds and returning defending champions from last year advanced to the quarters.

Top-seeded Kansas Little Rock, Yale pull off rolls past Austin Peay big upsets on day one at Wells Fargo Arena The Associated Press

DES MOINES (AP) — Kansas earned the top overall seed for the NCAA Tournament without getting much of anything from Svi Mykhailiuk.

If the Ukranian guard steps up, look out.

Mykhailiuk scored a career-high 23 points on 9-of-11 shooting and Perry Ellis had 21, leading the Jayhawks to a 105-79 victory over Austin Peay on Thursday.

Landen Lucas added 16 points for the Jayhawks (31-4), who will face Connecticut on Saturday with a chance to return to the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2013.

Kansas, the No. 1 seed in the South Region, jumped ahead by 20 by halftime and cruised to its 10th straight win in an NCAA Tournament opener.

Josh Robinson scored 24 points for the Governors (18-18), who learned quickly that the magic they leaned on to win four straight and the Ohio Valley title was no match for the talented Jayhawks.

Kansas entered this year’s tournament as one of the favorites to win it all after dominating the brutal Big 12 for most the season.

Self is looking for his second national championship, and the Jayhawks got off to a strong start by dismantling the overmatched Governors.

Indiana 99, Chattanooga 74 Yogi Ferrell had 20 points and a season-high 10 assists, O.G. Anunoby pitched in 14 points and No. 5 seed Indiana took charge of its NCAA Tournament opener against Chattanooga on the way to a 99-74 victory on Thursday in the East Region.

Thomas Bryant had 13 points and Troy Williams added 12 points and eight rebounds for the Hoosiers (26-7), who had their high-powered offense in prime form. They shot 37-for-57 from the floor for 64.9 percent. Anunoby, the longarmed freshman forward, was 6-for-7 with a highlight-reel array of 3-pointers and dunks.

Duke Ethridge had 16 points

and Justin Tuoyo scored 12 points for the No. 12 seed Mocs (29-6), whose stellar first season under young coach Matt McCall came to a screeching end.

Kentucky 85, Stony Brook 57 Jamal Murray led five players in double figures with 19 points and fourth-seeded Kentucky routed Stony Brook 85-57 on Thursday night, setting up a showdown with rival Indiana in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

Isaiah Briscoe scored 13 with 11 rebounds for the Wildcats (27-8), who haven’t faced the Hoosiers since beating them in the Sweet 16 in 2012 and came into this tournament with coach John Calipari saying his team was under-seeded.

Kentucky opened the second half on a 20-6 run and was ahead 53-25 with 14 minutes to go. The Wildcats hit 13 of their first 16 shots after the break.

Jameel Warney had 23 points and 15 rebounds for Stony Brook (26-7), which was making its first NCAA Tournament appearance.

Stony Brook opened the game with an epic stretch of bad shooting, hitting just three baskets in 27 tries with 14 straight misses at one point. That allowed the somewhat disjointed Wildcats to pull things together and take a 33-19 lead into halftime.

Murray, who went a ghastly 1-of-9 in the first half, scored 15 points in 10 minutes to help the Wildcats coast to a win that ensures a fresh shot at Indiana.

Connecticut 74, Colorado 67 Rodney Purvis, Daniel Hamilton and a stifling defense carried Connecticut back from an 11-point first-half deficit, giving the Huskies enough for a victory over Colorado that kept coach Kevin Ollie unbeaten in the NCAA Tournament.

Purvis scored 15 of his 19 points after halftime, Daniel Hamilton had 17 points and 10 rebounds and the No. 9 seed Huskies (25-10) advanced to the second round of the South Region.

One 12 seed got its first NCAA Tournament win in program history.

Another staged a huge comeback then hung on for a double-overtime victory. An 11 seed also pulled an upset, and, as usual, the No. 1 seeds have so far assured themselves a spot in the second round.

Not bad for the opening day at the NCAA Tournament.

West Region Yale 79, Baylor 75 PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Makai Mason had a career-high 31 points, including six of Yale’s final nine points, and the No. 12 seed Bulldogs held on to upset fifth seed Baylor on Thursday.

Yale (23-6) earned its first NCAA Tournament victory. It comes in its first appearance since 1962.

Justin Sears added 18 points. Brandon Sherrod finished with 10.

Taurean Prince led Baylor (22-12) with 28 points. Johnathan Motley finished with 15 points.

Duke 93, UNC Wilmington 85 PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Marshall Plumlee ditched the mask guarding his broken nose and responded by scoring a career-high 23 points to lead defending national champion Duke past UNC Wilmington.

Plumlee had 10 of his points and two blocks as the Blue Devils stepped up the defensive pressure early in the second half to build a lead after trailing at the break.

Grayson Allen also scored 23 points for the Blue Devils, but 15 came from the foul line as he shot just 4 of 12 from the field. Brandon Ingram added 20.

Midwest Region Little Rock 85, Purdue 83, 2 OT

DENVER (AP) — Little Rock is advancing thanks to an out-of-nowhere comeback that led to a victory over Purdue.

Josh Hagins sent the game into overtime with a shot from the edge of the midcourt logo, and then into double OT with an arcing shot off glass over an outstretched defender.

The 6-foot-1 senior finished with 31 points, including six in the second overtime.

Virginia 81, Hampton 45 RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Anthony Gill scored 19 points and Virginia beat Hampton 8145.

London Perrantes had 12 points and Malcolm Brogdon finished with 11 for the top-seeded Cavaliers (28-6).

Quinton Chievous scored 17 points and Reginald Johnson Jr. had 10 for 16th-seeded Hampton (20-11).

Butler 71, Texas Tech 61 RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Kelan Martin scored all 11 of his points in the final 8 1/2 minutes, including consecutive 3-pointers to break a tie game, to help Butler beat Texas Tech.

Kellen Dunham scored 23 points to lead the Bulldogs (22-10).

Devaugntah Williams scored 18 points to lead the eighth-seeded Red Raiders (19-13).

Utah 80, Fresno State 69 DENVER (AP) — Sophomore 7-footer Jakob Poeltl scored 16 points and pulled down a career-high 18 rebounds to help Utah hold off feisty Fresno State.

Utah, the third seed in the Midwest, used a blistering 20-2 run down the stretch to regain control after falling behind for the first time all night with 10:32 remaining.

South Region Wichita State 65, Arizona 55

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Fred VanVleet and Ron Baker combined for 29 points and Wichita State’s swarming defense did the rest as the Shockers beat Arizona.

Wichita State (26-8) will play Miami (267), the third seed in the South Region, on Saturday.

The Shockers forced 19 turnovers they converted into 22 points and snared nine steals.

Miami 79, Buffalo 72 PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — Angel Rodriguez had 24 points and seven rebounds as third-seeded Miami held on to defeat No. 14 seed Buffalo.

Sheldon McClellan added 20 points and five rebounds.

East Region North Carolina 83, Florida Gulf Coast 67 RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Brice Johnson scored 18 points and No. 1 seed North Carolina needed an overwhelming second-half start to put away 16th-seeded Florida Gulf Coast.

Isaiah Hicks added 12 points off the bench for the Tar Heels (29-6), who led by just a point after a frustration-filled opening 20 minutes in which the Eagles stayed right with the East’s top seed.

Florida Gulf Coast (21-14) already owned a bit of underdog history with its “Dunk City” bunch the first 15-seed to reach the Sweet 16, in 2013.

Providence 70, Southern California 69 RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) — Rodney Bullock hit a layup with 1.5 seconds left and Providence beat Southern California.

Ben Bentil scored 19 points and Bullock finished with 16 points and 10 rebounds to help the ninth-seeded Friars (2410) earn their first win in the tournament since 1997.

Iowa State Continued from Page 1B “I was like, ‘What about the Iowa State Cyclones? They’re pretty good.’ This is huge for us. This is motivation. We really wanted to beat these guys to really show people we’re real. This is a real team we have here,” Niang said.

Morris showed just how healthy he was, running an efficient offense that shot 50 percent from the floor and stifled high-scoring Iona (22-11), which was led by A.J. English’s 28 points and Jordan Washington’s 26.

That wasn’t enough to keep up with the balanced Cyclones, who got 19 points from Abdel Nader, 14 from Matt Thomas and 11 from Jameel McKay. “We tried to slow them down,” English said. “We just couldn’t.”

The Gaels cut an 18-point

second-half deficit to seven with just under three minutes remaining when English hit a pair of free throws to make it 83-76. The comeback fizzled, however, after English was whistled for traveling on the next possession and then drew a technical foul during a timeout.

“We were having fun the whole game, that’s what I felt like. It was basketball players talking to each other. Honestly I was smiling when I was talking back to the player and I didn’t understand why the ref made the call on me,” English said “I’m just sad somebody had to make that call toward the end of the game,” he added. “If that’s the case. If he didn’t want anybody talking trash then from the beginning of the game just call it whether it’s on me or whoever else. But it happens.

One tech doesn’t lose game.”

Iona coach Tim Cluess concurred: “There was talk going back and forth all game long.

The referee was standing there.

Both parties were jawing at each other. Though time to call it. I’m going to leave it at that.”

After jumping out to a 5-0 lead, the Gaels watched the Cyclones seize control with a blistering 16-2 run engineered

by Niang, Iowa State’s first twotime All-American.

The Gaels were playing catch-up the rest of the way.

They trailed 45-33 at halftime and every time they made a run, Iowa State pushed back with its superior quickness, size and athleticism — with Morris leading the way.

In their first win since Feb. 29, the Cyclones kept the Gaels at bay by sinking 20 of 25 free throws. They outshot Iona from the floor, 3-point range and the line.

Iowa State plays Arkansas-Little Rock, which upset Purdue, 85-83 in double overtime, Thursday, on Saturday at the Pepsi Center.

Duncan Lee was seventh, Caden Manning was eighth and Jaise Gulling took ninth with the distances of 39-2 1/2, 38-10 1/2 and 38-7, respectively.

Callaghan took sixth in the long jump with a leap of 18-6. Dodd placed ninth at 17-3.

In the girls’ long jump, Kenna Winther finished sixth with a leap of 1311, and Lakin Jenkins was eighth in 12-10 1/2.

Prairie City’s Jennings plays on Minor League Golf Tour Newton Daily News CORAL SPRINGS, Fla. — Matthew Jennings of Prairie City lost on the second hole in a playoff in a golf tournament Monday at TPC Eagle Trace on the Minor League Golf Tour.

Jennings and Jeff Bronkema of Plainwell, Mich., were tied at 3-under par 69 after 18-holes of regulation play. Jennings birdied his first three holes but parred in after his final birdie at No. 13 as Bronkema was making birdies at 14, 16 and 17.
