City seeks to fill Alliant Hometown Rewards position

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The City of Newton is looking to fill the position of Energy Efficiency Community Coordinator after being selected for the Alliant Energy Hometown Rewards program.

The multiple-agency drill involved an active-shooter scenario.

Several first-responder agencies hold massive drill at Berg Complex

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News “OK, we’ll pick up Foster when we get there. Let’s load up.”

Those were the words of Newton Police Department Lt. Wayne Winchell on Wednesday afternoon before a four-man team deployed in an armored vehicle. He was referring to fellow NPD officer Brian Foster, the school resource officer for Newton High School, as the group began its role in Wednesday’s

massive active-shooter response drill at the Berg School Complex.

Several law enforcement and fire agencies, along with personnel from Skiff Medical Center, Jasper County Emergency Management, the Newton Community School District, Mercy One emergency medical helicopter service and dozens of student and adult volunteers took part in the drill. Using the scenario of an active shooter in the school, the drill, unique in its scope for Jasper County, tested the readiness of

“I think it was a success from the standpoint of every agency showed it’s trained well enough to accomplish its mission,” said Jasper County Emergency Management Coordinator Jim Sparks.

“We really tested our inter-operability, and saw some of the challenges we have, especially in communications.”

In just a week since launching a postcard campaign to encourage city pride in Newton, about 500 postcards have been completed.

Next month those postcards, which are hoped to be numbered to 10,000 by then, will be sent to random addresses across the state to share what Newton residents love about the city with other Iowans.

The postcard project was launched by the Get to Know Newton campaign to instill the values of community outreach and development. However, Newton’s Management Analyst, Natalie Umsted, is always trying to do different things as one of the primary organizers of the campaign. There is still a

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When the second annual inductee class is announced for the Newton High School Hall of Fame, there might be a linebacker or a hurdler on the list.

There might also be a teacher on the list. Or an administrator. Or a doctor.

Unlike some hall-offame awards lists, the Newton High School Hall of Fame is not limited to nominees from athletics.

The nominations are not even relegated to activities.

Contributors to NHS

from a wide variety of realms of service can be nominated. “We have a few different focus areas of service, but it’s pretty broad and inclusive,” said NHS activities director Scott Garvis. “We want to showcase our best and brightest.”

Sport a healthy smile with a mouth guard Jasper County Dental Society Smart athletes wear mouth guards to protect their smiles from serious injury. Mouth guards, also called mouth protectors, are particularly important for children engaged in active sports.

The Jasper County Dental Society recommends that if your children participate in sporting activities, they should wear a mouth guard. Some active sports include football, basketball, soccer, hockey, skateboarding and volleyball. However, there are many other sports that present a risk of injury to the head, face or mouth as a result of head-to-head contact, falls,

tooth clenching or from impact with equipment. A well-constructed mouth guard used during any of these sports can help prevent injury to the mouth, teeth, lips, cheeks and tongue.

There are three types of mouth guards: ready-made or stock mouth guards; mouth-formed guards; and custom-made mouth guards. The three types differ in comfort, fit and cost. The most effective mouth guards are resilient, tear-resistant and thin enough for comfortable breathing and speaking.

Stock mouth guards and mouthformed guards are available at sporting goods stores. A custom mouth guard

made by the dentist is closely shaped to fit the player’s teeth for extra comfort.

No matter which type of mouth guard is worn, only the upper teeth should be covered for the following reasons: • The upper front teeth usually overlap and therefore protect the lower teeth.

• The front teeth are the most frequently injured.

• Covering the lower teeth may create additional bulk, diminishing comfort and fit while providing little extra protection.

Some special circumstances, such

as a protruding jaw or the presence of orthodontic appliances (braces) may require that the lower teeth also be covered. Your dentist can determine if such a condition might apply.

The Jasper County Dental Society cautions parents that orthodontic retainers should not be used when participating in contact sports.

Athletes of all ages have discovered that wearing a mouth guard during practice, a game or while simply skateboarding in the park makes good sense.

The Jasper County Dental Society invites you to visit the American Dental Association on the internet at www. ada.org.

National Nutrition Month 2015:

Bite into a healthy lifestyle

By Nancy Schive, RD,LD Outpatient Education Dietitian Skiff Medical Center The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics celebrates National Nutrition Month each March.

The annual event reinforces the importance of developing sound eating and physical activity habits for all. This year the theme is “Bite into a Healthy Lifestyle.”

The message encourages everyone to adopt eating and physical activity plans that are focused on consuming fewer calories, making informed food choices and getting daily exercise in in order to achieve and maintain a healthy weight, reduce the risk of chronic disease and promote overall health.

A healthy eating plan emphasizes nutrient-rich foods and beverages, vegetables, fruits, whole grains, fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products, seafood, lean meats and poultry, eggs, beans and peas.

Nutrient needs should primarily be met through consuming foods. Foods provide an array of nutrients and other components that are considered to be beneficial for health.

MyPlate can help use the Dietary Guidelines to:

• Find the balance between food and physical activity to help manage weight.

• Reduce food and food components linked to increase health risks.

• Increase food and nutrients that promote health while staying within calorie needs.

• Build a healthful eating plan.

Cooking tips • Grill instead of fry: Make kabobs using lean meat or seafood on skewers. Add vegetables.

Experiment with fruit on the grill — pineapple and peaches work well.

• Steam it up: Place chicken or fish in a piece of aluminum foil. Add lemon, herbs and spices.

Fold the aluminum foil so all edges are sealed and steam in the oven.

• Stir fry: Cook vegetables in a small amount of oil on a stovetop with garlic. Serve with brown rice to add more whole grains to your diet. Add pineapple if desired.

• Roast: Toss sliced vegetables with olive oil and spices. Spread on a cookie sheet.

Roast in the oven for 30 minutes at 425 degrees.

Beverage choices Many beverages contain a large amount of added sugars and offer little or no nutrient value. Drink water if you are thirsty. Include plenty of water if you are active, live or work in hot conditions or dry climates or are an older adult. If you are tired of just plain water, try infusing it with fruits, vegetables and herbs.

Add slices of fruits and vegetables such as oranges, lime/ lemon, strawberries or cucumbers or herbs like spearmint or peppermint, to a pitcher of water. Allow to sit in the refrigerator for at least two hours. Use more or less depending on your preference.

If you want to make a single glass, add a few slices of fruits and/or vegetables to a glass of water. Allow the flavors to infuse for 10-15 minutes.

A registered and licensed dietitian nutritionist can provide sound, easy-to-follow, personalized nutrition advice to help meet your lifestyle, preferences and health-related needs.

long way to go as the project ends on April 17, but the success of it will determine whether it becomes an annual event.

Last week, Umsted spoke about the project at the Newton Chamber of Commerce breakfast and the Get to Know Newton leadership class.

The city council meeting on Monday and the rotary club also heard about the postcard project. Each event accumulated to the total count of postcards.

“There are really positive reactions from the public. One of the great things about the Get to Know Newton campaign is we are always inviting people to share their own stories,” Umsted said.

Many people have commented on how friendly and neighborly the city is while others love Newton parks. The Valle Drive-In has also received a lot of attention as it is one of a handful drive-in theatres left in the state.

The design of the postcards was created using a template from neighborhoodpostcardproject.com, a website

and have worked for the school for a minimum of 10 years, and the community organizations and individuals must have served NHS for 10 or more years or made major or significant contributions to the school.

An informal hall of fame had been maintained for some time, but 2014 marked the establishment of an official, school-wide hall to honor all types of contributors.

The inaugural 2014 class included author Emerson Hough; NHS’s first principal and a pioneer for Iowa woman educators, Lucy E. Hall; World War II bomber pilot Col. Avery Jack Ladd; MIT graduate and longtime Maytag designer Thomas R. Smith; Iowa Hawkeye threesport star and World War II casualty Laird Bush Lamb; Hawkeye football All-American and longtime Maytag division manager Bill Green; artists Norman Neal Deaton and Karen King; Bell Curve innovator Charles Murray; Dr. Robert Sparks; Ph.D. Dr. Tom Altemeier, advertising artist and businesswoman Minda Gralnek; Gen. David Cotton; NHS coach Frank Gilson; “Good Morning America” lifestyle anchor Sara Haines; TV producer and writer Thomas J. Weeks and principal and stadium namesake Harold A. “Pop” Lynn.

The initial class was honored at the annual Reunion Weekend All-Classes brunch last June, and their plaques that are a part of the school’s Hall of Fame wall were dedicated at an October ceremony. This year’s class will be honored at the All-Classes Brunch, set for June 13.

A committee will review the nominations, and completed nomination forms will be kept on file for five years. Garvis said last week only 16 nominations had been received.

“We’d like to get a few more,” he said.

Nomination forms are available online at www.newtoncardinals.bigteams.com, and can be emailed to garviss@newton.k12.ia.us. Forms can also be obtained and turned in at the Newton Senior High School office.

There are five postcards for residents of Newton to choose from with each postcard representing unique qualities of Newton.

My love for space solidified with a chip dipped in quesso

By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | March 19, 2015

The first time I saw the solar system’s giant Jupiter was outside Pancheros. In Iowa City during my college years, midnight runs to get a fresh burrito, pop, chips and quesso were a common occurrence.

On the sidewalk corner near the downtown Mexican restaurant, a University of Iowa graduate student in astronomy sat on a five gallon bucket next to a tip jar and a small telescope pointed toward the heavens. Downtown Iowa City on a Friday night is a bright place, full of light pollution. But even the college town’s night life is no match for one of the brightest objects in the night’s sky.

It turns out the spirits-filled students of UI are perfect customers for a cosmic entrepreneur. The young astronomy student made solid tips that evening showing teens and 20-somethings filled with

liquid joy trippy out-of-thisworld sights. When I peered through that telescope, I saw the famous red eye of Jupiter and it’s four largest moons.

This began my longtime love affair with the planet and its four Galilean satellites.

Astronomers have become enamored with the largest moons of Jupiter and Saturn in the past two decades. Jupiter’s moon Europa is one of the largest bodies in the solar system with a possible subsurface ocean. Like Saturn’s moon Enceladus, Europa has a “young surface” shaped by geological activity. Scientists hypothesize the surface is recycled by ocean currents underneath, treating the ice sheets as tectonic plates here on Earth. Both moons also have geysers on their surface, shooting salty, water ice into the vacuum of space sometimes hundreds of miles above

the ice crust.

NASA announced March 11 that another Galilean moon — Ganymede — also shows evidence of a subsurface ocean.

The space agency announced plans earlier this year to send a “Clipper” probe to Europa with an expected launch in 2022. This will fly through the geysers’ water ice testing for organic compounds such as carbon or even for traces of microbial lifeforms.

The water is kept liquid on these moons due to tidal friction — the pulling and tugging on these planetary bodies’ crust and cores from the gravitational pull of their host gas giants. This repetitive action happens as the moons orbit the planets and generates heat.

Scientist believe the crust of the moons are made of silica-based material — aka rock.

On earth, when salty water is churned against organic ma-

terial in rock and paired with a heat source over millions/ billions of years, life emerges.

It’s the mantra of the scientific community: “Where there’s water, there’s life.”

The importance of exploring these icy moons can not be overstated. The effect on society of finding life on another planet would be profound, but finding life elsewhere in our own planetary backyard would suggest life is common throughout the universe.

This is the best time in human history to be a planetary science nerd. For the first time our species has the technology to find and prove whether life exists beyond our tiny blue dot. My love for burritos has brought more wonder to my life than I possibly could have imagined.

Letter to the Editor

Kelley missed the mark on veterans bill vote

Doug Bishop Baxter The Iowa Veterans Trust Fund has been in existence since 2009.

It has supplied a funding stream of $15.2 million to our state’s most needy veterans. Those dollars come from the sales of pull tab lottery tickets. The trust fund covers unemployment or underemployment assistance due to service-related causes, assistance with vision, hearing, dental care, durable medical equipment and prescription drugs; counseling and substance abuse services; housing repair; and transitional housing in an emergency for veterans who have no other means to finance these things.

Speed of big rigs poorly enforced Hermon Lenz Sumner Iowa always makes the dirty top five states in the U.S. for having an above average of its fatal crashes where large trucks are involved. In 2012, Iowa had 13.2 percent, while the national average was 8.3 percent. You won’t get this fact from the politically favorable professional news.

Until Iowa’s seat belt law makes those 80,000 pound big

Recently, House File 438 was voted upon in the Iowa House of Representatives. It would guarantee that $2.5 million a year would be placed in the Veterans Trust Fund. The companion bill had already passed the Iowa Senate on a 49-0 vote.

When the veterans bill reached the House State Government Committee, there was one glaring no vote. That vote belonged to our State Rep. Dan Kelley.

When it reached the full house for a vote, it passed on a 94-5 vote. One of those no votes, was again, Dan Kelley’s.

I was bothered when I heard the news on the vote but an email I received on Saturday totally incensed me. It was from State Rep. Dan Kelley and it included a paragraph touting the benefits of the Iowa Veterans Trust

Fund. It went on to explain that it had passed the Iowa House and would help the neediest veterans among us. It read almost as if he had sponsored the bill and supported it through the process.

That couldn’t be farther from the truth and smelled of complete political hypocrisy. Voting no on a bill that supports those veterans most needy, and then sending information out suggesting that you had supported it is unacceptable. How can we, as veterans, be expected to continue to vote for one who won’t vote to support the neediest among us? I am a Democrat and have supported Rep. Kelley in the past. In this case, I believe Rep. Kelley missed the mark on this vote, and Jasper County veterans deserved better.

rigs stay within the speed limit and within a “reasonable and safe rate during adverse conditions” fog, ice, snow. We’d have to be idiots to believe we’re so safe in that nanny seat belt while big rigs are speeding in the fog, ice or snow. No one is enforcing the “reasonable and proper rate of speed during adverse conditions,” and no one is enforcing the speed limit on them except the commercial enforcement vehicle personnel (blue cars) who are so few they’re almost non-existent, which means the speed of

big rigs is poorly or not enforced.

The governor’s seat belt bureau makes a big ballyhoo about the percentage of non-seat belted fatalities. They never tell us of the percent of seat belted fatalities that were crashed into by big rigs, of course these fatalities are politically correct if they’re just seat belted.

Erin Harris, of Ottumwa, thought the male jogger didn’t look too well, as she drove along busy North Court St. in Ottumwa, on Fr i d a y afternoon, Jan. 23.

It was an unusually By Curt Swarm w a r m Guest Columnist d a y , school was letting out, and people were out and about getting ready for the weekend.

When the jogger listed to one side, then fell over on the edge of the sidewalk, she knew something was terribly wrong. Without thinking, she jerked her car into a driveway of the Ottumwa Country Club.

She slammed her car into park, jumped out, leaving the car door wide open.

One look at the jogger told her he needed help.

He was turning purplish blue, and didn’t appear to be breathing. She thought she might know him, and hollered, “Randy, are you all right?” There was no response.

A pickup truck had pulled to the side of the road, and a man was getting out. She shouted at the man to call an ambulance.

Candy Breon, and her husband, Erv, of Hedrick, were driving along North Court Street. They had come to Ottumwa for Friday afternoon grocery shopping. Just driving around looking at things on a warm, winter afternoon, they typically would not have been on this busy street. Candy is an EMT with Keokuk County Ambulance, and teaches CPR. Seeing the commotion and the man down, they pulled over. Her training kicked in. She left the car and went to the scene. Her husband reached in the back of the car for Candy’s First Responder Kit. It was not there.

Candy checked the downed jogger for a pulse.

There was no pulse. The jogger was laying on his side, part way in the bushes beside the sidewalk. She had to get him on his back on a solid surface. Once

she got him in position, she commenced CPR. The driver of the pickup, Mike McDonough, is a retired Ottumwa police officer. He retrieved a CPR mask from his truck, and assisted with the breathing, while Candy did chest compressions. A passing motorist hollered, “We’re praying for you!”

Candy felt ribs break under the palm of her hand, which is normal for chest compressions. The jogger began to gasp, and fog the back of the CPR mask. A good sign.

The ambulance arrived.

Candy told the paramedics, whom she knew, that they had the victim breathing. However, the paramedics determined that the victim was in a state of ventricular fibrillation.

They used the paddles to shock him. Then shocked him again once he was on the gurney. The victim’s color was still terrible and, although breathing slightly, was still unresponsive.

Candy thought to herself, “This guy will never make it.”

Never say never. The man was airlifted to Mercy hospital in Des Moines where bypass surgery was performed. 58-year old Randy Anderson of Ottumwa is alive and well today because of the quick response of these angels-in-disguise. In a previous newspaper article requesting that the people who saved his life come forward so that he could thank them, Erin and Candy contacted Randy. It was an emotional meeting.

Both Erin and Candy feel that God put them there at that exact moment for a reason, and Randy feels he is alive for a reason. Randy starts back to work on Monday, March 16. He is an Assistant Information Director at Indian Hills Community College.

In a bizarre twist to the story, Andersons’ heirloom grandfather clock stopped at 3:06 p.m., the exact time the emergency call went into 911. They have not reset it.

Although Candy has performed CPR many times, this was her first save.

Congratulations, Candy!

Heart disease is the number-one killer behind auto accidents. Do you know CPR?

Senate OKs bill on Medicaid’s switch to managed care DES MOINES (AP) — The Senate has approved a bill that would create a commission to oversee Iowa’s plan to turn Medicaid over to private operators.

The Senate voted unanimously Wednesday for the bill, which would also outline conditions for managed care contracts.

It now heads to the House.

Iowa’s Medicaid program provides care to poor children, families and disabled people, as well as some low-income adults. It

is funded with $4.2 billion in state and federal dollars.

The state Department of Human Services announced earlier this year that shifting to managed care would save money and offer better care.

Some Democrats criticized the planned switch on the floor Wednesday. Democratic Sen. Amanda Ragan, who is leading the bill, says the proposed legislation will allow lawmakers to have a better say in the process.

FAMILY CIRCUS

Man long ignored by family wants to return the favor DEAR ABBY: I am the youngest of three boys. When I was growing up, my brothers didn’t have much to do with me. At times they were cruel, mocked my interests and made fun of my friends. At 19 I moved into the dorms, even though I was attending college locally.

My professional life took me away from my hometown for 25 years. Both brothers pretty much ignored me, except for calls on my birthday that were filled with awkward silence because we didn’t know each other well enough to talk about anything. I lived abroad for long periods, and even though I sent emails and postcards, I never heard anything from them in reply.

Now I live back in my hometown and I am expected to participate in holiday and family events because “it’s family.” Please give me the words to use to refuse invitations I do not want, from a family who made it clear that they had no use for me for so long. — WARY IN WISCONSIN DEAR WARY: Give the following standard refusal: “Thank you for wanting to include me, but I already have other plans.” No one can argue with that. I do, however, suggest you choose ONE holiday a year to spend with your “family” as a way of maintaining minimal contact. That way they can’t accuse you of snubbing them.

DEAR ABBY: Three widowed friends of mine still have their late husbands’ voices on their answering machines. I think it’s spooky and in really bad taste.

Is there any way to gently suggest to them that they change their greeting to one in their own voices or an anonymous one? I’m a widow, too, and I wouldn’t think of leaving my greeting that way. — FLABBERGASTED IN FLORIDA DEAR FLAB: Different strokes for different folks. Has it not occurred to you that these ladies not only do not find the sound of their late husbands’

voices the least bit spooky, but that they might call their own numbers in order to hear it? They may also feel safer having a male voice answer their phone.

Because you find it upsetting, consider texting or emailing them instead.

DEAR READERS: The departments of psychiatry and medicine at Tufts Medical Center want to learn more about the impact that caregiving has on family members and friends of people who have been diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder.

Because family members and friends of individuals with mental illness play a large part in providing care — while also balancing jobs and other life responsibilities — the physicians and research scientists at Tufts are asking you to share the impact caregiving has on different aspects of your life, including your ability to work and your health and well-being. This information will be used to improve services to caregivers and the people they support.

If you are interested in participating in this study, please visit tinyurl.com/ TuftsCaregiver. Participation in this study is voluntary and involves completing an anonymous survey.

Dear Abby readers are the most generous and caring folks in the world, and I hope some of you are willing to help with this project.

Branstad: Beef execs complained about workers’ comp official

The Associated Press

The Associated Press

DES MOINES — Legislation that would allow some workers to take unpaid time off to participate in Iowa’s presidential caucuses received approval in the Senate on Wednesday, but appears unlikely to garner enough support in the House.

The Senate voted 26-24 along party lines for the bill. It now heads to the Republican-controlled House, where House Speaker Kraig Paulsen, of Hiawatha, has indicated it’s not a priority.

The legislation would allow a voter in Iowa to take up to four hours off without incurring a penalty or a pay reduction to attend a presidential precinct caucus. The bill would not apply to workers with jobs that affect public health or safety. Employers who could show they would experience economic distress would also not be required to allow their workers to take the time off.

Sen. Robert Dvorsky, D-Coralville, led the bill on the floor. He said the legislation would increase attendance in Iowa’s presidential caucuses.

“We’re the first in the nation,” he said. “Don’t we understand that? We set the pace.”

DES MOINES — The founders of a beef company who were major donors to Gov. Terry Branstad’s political campaign were among the business leaders who raised concerns about a state official the governor later tried to force out, according to court documents released to The Associated Press on Wednesday In a legal deposition, Branstad denied allegations levied in a lawsuit that he targeted former Iowa Workers’ Compensation Commissioner Chris Godfrey because Godfrey is gay. The governor said he asked Godfrey to resign and cut his pay in 2011 so he could name a more business-friendly commissioner to rule on disputes involving employers and injured workers.

DES MOINES — An 18-year-old man pinned beneath a car has been rescued in Des Moines.

The Des Moines Register reports that Zachary Ray became trapped Tuesday afternoon in a driveway as he was trying to fix something under the car. He was trapped from his head down to his midsection.

Police officers were unable to lift the car enough to free him, but he was rescued after firefighters arrived and deployed jacks.

Branstad has said publicly that business interests raised concerns about Godfrey’s office. But the deposition revealed that those leaders included Beef Products Branstad Inc. founders Eldon and Regina Roth, top donors to Branstad’s 2010 campaign with $152,000 in contributions.

Branstad testified that he recalled having a “very serious” meeting with the Roths about their concerns in 2010 at the company’s headquarters in Dakota Dunes, South Dakota, which is near the Iowa border.

The company makes a lean, finely textured beef, which critics

call it “pink slime,” and had a processing plant in Iowa at the time.

“They said they were concerned about the direction that the workers’ compensation commission was going in Iowa, that it was driving up the costs of their business, and making the state of Iowa less competitive,” Branstad testified.

Branstad’s attorney, George LaMarca, said Wednesday that the governor acted lawfully in asking for Godfrey’s resignation and cutting his pay. He said “no one person or business influenced the governor” on the matter.

Branstad’s testimony came during a Nov. 26 deposition in a lawsuit in which Godfrey alleges the governor and his aides discriminated and retaliated against him because he is gay.

CEDAR RAPIDS — Two DuPont employees have been transported to the hospital after a hose sprayed them with liquid ammonia at a Cedar Rapids plant.

The Cedar Rapids Fire Department says rescue crews responded around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday to a report that two men, ages 36 and 45, had been exposed to ammonia at DuPont. They were taken to the hospital Wednesday morning following the splash, and officials say their injuries are not severe.

Drill Continued from Page 1A The drill scenario featured a single active shooter and students and adults in the Berg Middle School cafeteria and classrooms. The shooter “killed” five people before being shot by police, and 11 “patients” were taken to a triage area and to Skiff Medical Center. Some patients were treated in the Berg Middle School cafeteria, and a Mercy One helicopter landed on the BMS football field for a “drill transport,” with no one actually getting a helicopter ride.

Shell casings were scattered in various hallways for law enforcement to notice.

Role-playing volunteers were made up with fake gunshot wounds, and, in some cases, labeled “dead.”

Police S.W.A.T teams then had to secure the two-school complex, going through every classroom, closet and restroom. Planned to possibly last far into Wednesday afternoon, the drill was mostly wrapped up in less than two hours.

The group then met in the Berg Elementary School after the exercise was completed to discuss how things went.

Sparks asked all participants to complete evaluation forms, and went around the room to get feedback on unexpected challenges or

elements that didn’t go smoothly.

Several of the comments were about communication.

Between radios that didn’t work well in some parts of the Berg buildings to switching channels to knowing which areas had been secured, the agencies showed that working in that type of situation involves a great deal of teamwork.

Newton Schools Di-

rector of Business Services Gayle Isaac said that when 911 was dialed from Berg, the P.A. system became disabled.

Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office Lt. Aaron Groves said there were some communication gaps, especially as his team got further into the building.

In the early part of the drill, especially as S.W.A.T. teams entered the building, following

radio traffic was difficult, and transmissions sometimes “walked on” each other.

One classroom, where five students and a teacher were located as part of the scenario, were still in that classroom when the exercise ended. Foster said that was due to the occupants thinking the shooter was doing the knocking when police

announced themselves, unable to hear through the heavy door.

Grinnell Fire Chief Dan Sicard, who was one of the outside parties observing the drill, said it appeared there were “lots of commanders” rather than one central person in charge of the building.

Another issue was whether a triage center

had been set up in a secure area.

Everyone who spoke after the drill sounded pleased overall to be able to gain knowledge from the experience. Not only did each group demonstrate its skills, but it also learned what must be improved in the event of similar scenario in real life.

Sparks said much of the training would apply to a wide variety of public-safety issues, beyond active-shooter situations.He said he was pleased the agencies took the time to engage in an important exercise of this magnitude.

“I’m grateful we have awesome people around here who are willing to do a drill like this,” he said.

Iowa House backs changes to teacher bargaining rules The Associated Press DES MOINES — Changes to collective bargaining rules for teachers and other school employees won approval in the Republican-controlled Iowa House Wednesday after two days of bitter debate over education policy and school funding.

The proposal passed in a 56-41 vote, split along party lines. Under the plan, an arbitrator would have more flexibility in determining final contract terms for union-represented teachers and school employees. Republicans said the changes would help districts better manage their budgets, but Dem-

ocrats said the bill would weaken compensation for teachers and hurt educational attainment.

The bill now moves to the Democratic-majority Senate, where it is not expected to advance.

The House debate— which started Tuesday afternoon and concluded just after noon on Wednesday, after an overnight break — was the latest conflict in a bigger debate about education funding during this legislative session.

Funding for K-12 education in the coming academic year remains unresolved, with House Republicans seeking to provide less additional dollars than Senate Democrats.

House Republican Speaker Kraig Paulsen, R-Hiawatha, has said he would consider providing more money to schools if lawmakers would consider modifying arbitration rules.

House Democrats made clear this week that they had no interest in this approach, introducing numerous amendments aimed at everything from increasing education funding to decreasing class sizes.

“Stop using our teachers as an excuse for not prioritizing the education funding for our Iowa children,” said Rep. Kirsten Running-Marquardt, D-Cedar Rapids. “You are shortchanging our kids,

and when that message doesn’t go well for you, you go after our teachers.”

Currently, if a district cannot reach agreement with teachers, an arbitrator must choose between the two final offers on items such as raises. The bill would allow the arbitrator to set a number in the middle.

Other changes include requiring the arbitrator to consider wages and conditions for comparable private sector workers.

Rep. Greg Forristall, R-Macedonia, who sponsored the bill, said the changes would make it easier for schools to manage resources “Everyone deserves a

place at the table, even the taxpayer,” said Forristall, who also noted that Republicans had increased school funding in recent years.

Iowa has 338 school districts. According to the nonpartisan Legis-

lative Services Agency, the state had 18 arbitrations between the 2010 and 2014 fiscal years.

Of the 30 items decided through arbitration, 19 were decided in favor of teachers and 11 for management.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Senior Tyler Wood could score from anywhere on the basketball court. In his four-year career for Newton High’s varsity team, Wood became the team’s most prolific 3-point field goal shooter, one of best free throw shooters in Cardinal history and the all-time scorer.

Wood’s shooting touch nets NHS scoring marks

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Points piled up by the ones, twos and threes. There were even occasional four-point plays.

When it all was said and done, Tyler Wood concluded a storied four-year basketball career for Newton High as the Cardinals’ all-time leading scorer with 1,076 points.

Wood is Newton’s most prolific shooter from 3-point field goal range.

Newton High School’s boys have only two players in its history to score more than 1,000 points. Wood went into his senior season sitting sixth place on the career-scoring list with 739 points.

When the final buzzer sounded in the Class 4A substate game on Feb. 23 at Southeast Polk High School, Wood walked off the basketball court for the final time for Newton High. Thirteen days earlier, Wood had moved

“Work hard and be very dedicated to your sport. Just love the game you play.”

into the top spot on the NHS career scoring list.

“It’s a big honor to be the alltime leading scorer for Newton.

It’s hard to believe that I — Tyler Wood — am the leading scorer. It’s kind a hard to get a

grasp on that fact,” Wood said of his accomplishment.

“I’m very blessed to play this game and to have teammates, coaches, my family and friends who believed in me. I couldn’t have done this with-

out my teammates and coaches. You don’t do something like this by yourself.”

Wood, a 6-foot guard, reached the 1,000-point plateau on Senior Night in front of a home crowd Feb. 6. He needed 20 points going into the game to get there and he scored 21 points. Wood had 18 points in the first half against Oskaloosa that night, which included a four-point play.

Wood: A competitive mindset and a love for the game were driving forces Continued from Page 1B Wood was fouled on a 3-point field goal attempt at the 2:28 mark of the third quarter.

He missed the first free throw, but was right on the next two.

“I missed that first free throw. I don’t miss many free throws,” Wood laughed. “I didn’t know how close I was to reaching 1,000 points until they announced at the end of the second quarter I just needed two points.”

Wood, who finishes at No. 2 on most free throws made in a career at NHS and No. 4 in career free-throw percentage (79.7), stepped up and knocked down the next two free throws to hit the mark. Four days later, the Cardinals were playing at Pella when Wood drained seven 3-pointers for the second time in his career.

He became Newton High’s all-time leading scorer on a four-point play — a 3-pointer and a free throw — with 42 seconds left in the third quarter that night.

With his 24 points against Pella, he moved past Curt Greeley’s 1,020 points, amassed from 2002 to 2006.

“Tyler was a freshman in my first season as head coach here,” said Nick Wilkins, Newton boys’ head coach. “Watching him for five minutes on the court, you knew he was a special player. He wanted to work and improve. His work ethic was evident to all of us coaches. It has been a great experience for me to have Tyler as a player in my first four years of coaching.”

It took work to get from playing B-team for Newton’s seventh-grade team to becoming a three-year starter and three-year All-Little Hawkeye Conference first team selection.

Wood said he wasn’t a very good listener and didn’t know the game of basketball very well in middle school.

“I wasn’t picking it up very well,” he said.

“I got a better feel for the game in the eighth grade and played on the A-team. I bloomed as a player my freshman year. During one of our open gym sessions, I was playing a game with other freshmen and hit a game-winning shot. The coaches saw

it and Coach (Wilkins) gave me an opportunity to play varsity. That changed my basketball career.”

Wood got no starts as a freshman, but he came off the bench.

“We all had roles. My role was to shoot threes when I was in there,” Wood said. “My first shot in a varsity game, I banked in a 3-pointer against Boone. I remember not really believing it when Coach

called my name to go in, then I said ‘let’s do this’ to myself.”

Wood pointed to Brian Rose, who was a senior guard for Newton when Wood was a freshman, as his role model.

He said he remembered watching Rose play for NHS when he was in eighth grade.

“Then, I was playing on the court with Brian the next year. I was intimidated a little bit, because I didn’t want to

screw up. Brian was really good. He helped me that year and made me a better player. He helped teach me the game of basketball.”

In his freshman season, Wood watched as Rose led the Cardinals in 3-point shooting, 36of-93. Wood followed suit finishing second on the team, hitting 18-of71 3-pointers.

Three-point shooting became Wood’s forte on the basketball court. He wasn’t bad from the freethrow line either, going 20-of-24 as a freshman.

“I remember when I was a little kid playing basketball at the Y, they rolled out the little hoops for us to use.

I didn’t think I was very good. I’d stand out there and they wouldn’t pass me the ball,” Wood said.

“When they finally passed it to me, I took a deep shot. I just threw it up there and I saw it go in. I thought I like this.

I want to shoot threes.”

Wood finished as Newton’s top 3-point field goal shooter, draining a career-high 232 shots from beyond the 3-point arc. His 71 3-pointers this season was the second-best season total. Wood has the top three season’s best in 3-point field goals made for Newton High.

Wood was an unanimous selection to the 2015 All-LHC first team. He led the Cardinals and the LHC in 3-point field goals made in the 2014-15 season.

Wood connected on 71-of-163 3-point field goal attempts, which was tops for Newton, the LHC and No. 2 in Class 4A. He was 13th in 3-point makes for the state of Iowa overall.

“Sometimes, I relied too much on the 3-pointer,” Wood said.

“Between my freshman and sophomore seasons, I worked not only on shooting threes, but I worked on driving to the hoop, on my footwork and movement with the ball and without the ball.”

In his first game as a starter his sophomore season, Wood said he made a game-winning layup against Boone.

“This year, I started the season with a 30-point game against Boone,” he said. That was a career-high point total for a game for Wood.

Wood, who set NHS

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’s Tyler Wood (12) had the defensive skills as well as offensive skills on the court. He never backed down from a challenge in his four-year career for NHS.

records as a three-year starting quarterback, said being a multi-sport athlete helped him in basketball, football and baseball. Wood signed recently to play football at William Penn University in Oskaloosa.

“It wasn’t until my junior year that I really started elevating on my jump shot,” Wood said.

“I’ve never been the biggest guy on the court and being able to elevate when I shoot the ball has helped me get the ball over defenders and see the basket better.”

Wood attributes a lot of his success to getting in the weight room and becoming stronger. He said he was a puny kid who couldn’t jump as a freshman.

Wood also began driving to the basket more. He said it is a great feeling when you drive to the basket, hit the shot and get fouled.

“Making the shot and having the and-one is fun. Your teammates are happy for you. It’s the ability to work through the contact, then step up and hit the free throw,” Wood said.

What made him a good 3-point shooter?

“Practice — a lot of practice. Nights at my house I shoot and shoot.

I love it,” he said. “I love basketball. I love sports.

They are my passion and I don’t know where I’d be without sports.”

Wood said he never left the gym until he swished a 3-poitner or the shot looked and felt good.

“The problem with that is when it looked really good I wanted to do it again,” he said.

“Shooting is a lot of muscle memory. You remember how you shot that perfect shot.”

Coach Wilkins pointed out another strong suit for Wood on the basketball court — his defense.

“Tyler is a tremendous offensive player, but his defensive abilities are just as stellar,” Wilkins said. “He wasn’t on the other team’s best player. We’d put him on someone else because Tyler was great with help defense. He was our best player in coming over and helping teammates defensively.”

Wood said playing strong defense helped him get into the rhythm of the game. He said he was proud of creating a

couple of five-second calls against opponents this season.

“Being a defensive stopper can motivate your team to do better.

I worked hard to make the offensive player to pick up his dribble and have to pass the ball,” Wood said.

Wood was the leading scorer this season for the Cardinals with 337 points. He was the team leader for the season in assists with 62 and in steals with 19. He also had 88 rebounds.

Wood finished sixth in scoring among conference players this season. He shot 41 percent, 97-of-239 from the field overall. He led the Cardinals in free throw shooting at 83 percent, sinking 72-of-87 attempts. Wood moved to fourth on the NHS free throw makes in a season and third in season freethrow percentage. He is second in career free throws made — 185-of232.

Newton compiled a 39-49 record during the four years Wood played.

Losing the substate game against Ankeny was tough on Wood.

“I wanted to win that game. I wasn’t ready to not play basketball with my teammates,” Wood said.

“I hate to lose. I’m very competitive. I don’t know of anyone else who is more competitive than I am.”

Wood said his final season in which Newton went 9-13 was a bit disappointing. He said his teammates and coaches believed they were a better team than that.

“In a lot of games this season, we played really well and the other team would shoot lights out.

Their coaches would say it was the best they shot all season,” Wood said.

“There are a lot of little things in basketball if you don’t do right, it will cost you the game.”

Though he will be playing football in college, Wood said he will never be done with basketball.

“Basketball is very special. It is a sport you really don’t need a partner to do. You shoot and get your own rebound. If I want to clear my head, I put my headphones on and go shoot,” he said.

“I didn’t accomplish all of this on my own. I had family and friends encouraging me, pushing me and believing in me.

I had tremendous teammates and coaches who pushed me to be better.

“Sports teach you how to battle through adversity. Working together not just when things are going well, but more importantly when things are not going well is important in sports and in life.”

Wood said he would tell young players to go to all the open gyms available to become better players. He said to have a strong mental game.

“Work hard and be very dedicated to your sport. Just love the game you play. Take every opportunity to work on your craft,” Wood said.

“Have the mindset that nobody’s going to beat me, nobody’s going to take the ball from me and nobody’s going to stop me.”

Niang healthy, Iowa State driven in Cyclones’ NCAA return LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) — Fred Hoiberg remembers the moment as if it happened yesterday and not last year.

T h e Iowa State coach was preparing to be interviewed after the Niang Cyclones’ opening win in the NCAA Tournament when the trainer gave him the news that forward Georges Niang had broken a bone in his right foot, knocking him out of the rest of that postseason.

“It was hard to get through that interview,” Hoiberg said Wednesday.

“It was emotional. Walking into the interview, I had to

break the news to our guys about what had just happened. Georges probably played through more than anybody on the team.”

ISU managed to edge North Carolina only to lose in the Sweet 16 to eventual champ Connecticut.

Now they’re back ranked ninth in the country and seeded third in the South Regional playing the 14th-seeded UAB Blazers on Thursday in Louisville.

Niang is healthy and just helped lead them to their second straight Big 12 Tournament championship.

Hoiberg said his Cyclones (25-8) are very hungry to show this year will be different, especially coming off a big tournament run.

“Our guys that are back from that team worked all year to get back to this

opportunity to try and put your team in a position to where you can compete for a title,” Hoiberg said.

Niang broke the fifth metatarsal in his right foot in that win against North Carolina Central. As part of his recovery, the 6-foot8 forward dropped about 25 pounds, and the junior leads the Cyclones with 15.5 points per game this season.

“It was extremely tough ...,” Niang said of the timing of his injury. “I’m just happy to be back here ready to compete with my team.

The Blazers (19-15) are the youngest team in the tournament and will be leaning on coach Jerod Haase. Even though this is his debut as a head coach here, this is his 18th appearance as either a player or assistant coach.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s good to know your weaknesses, but don’t change a thing until you’ve first considered the advantage that lies within each weakness and how you counter it with a strength.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As you take in the view, you can’t help but wonder whether you’re looking for and

paying attention to the right things. Stay relaxed and alert.

Don’t doubt for a minute that something inside you knows the right answer.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

There will be those around you who talk a good game, but you have a special talent for spotting posers, frauds and wannabes. You may heroically intervene for someone who isn’t as savvy as you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

When it’s their job, their desire or their duty to take care of you, let them. If it’s their obligation, however, pass on the care. It’s likely to be tainted and costly.
