Inmate charged in attack at Newton prison

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News To help further the housing initiative set out by the city council, 4.25 acres of land at the former Newton Country Club is approved by the council for purchase on Monday. The $106,000 purchase is designated for a townhome development, an unmet need the city has encountered in the community.

City to purchase former country club land Council approves 4.25 for development

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A $106,000 land purchase was approved on Monday by the Newton City Council. The 4.25 acres located at the former Newton Country Club, will be designated for a townhome development.

“We continue to hear from residents that townhomes are a gap in our housing market. We hear people say all of the time, ‘wow, I would love to stay in Newton, and we want to downsize from a full maintenance house but are not ready for an apartment or retirement center,’” city director of finance and development Bryan Friedman said. “We hear that on a consis-

tent basis. We also hear people say that they have no choice but to look at Altoona or Ankeny if we can’t find something here.

We want to be able to provide that need.”

Councilwoman Evelyn George echoed Friedman sentiments and shared an email that the council received earlier on Monday.

“The council members did receive an email today from a local realtor and she said she is very excited to read how close we are to getting new townhomes and hopefully single family homes at the country club site,” George said.

The realtor had a client email her last weekend “jumping for joy” because they believe

they can now stay in Newton, George said. Among the agents in the office, the realtor said they know of at least six people who are interested in that type of housing.

“Housing is a problem.

(Community businesses) will have people come and have a job here in Newton, but they can’t find the housing their family wants. They want it move-in ready so they choose somewhere around here and they commute,” George said.

The land, which is located west of the former Newton Country Club pro shop, is being sold by William Talsma at a price of nearly $25,000 per acre.

District looks for answers to negative food-service account balances Board addresses collections on meal debts

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News How much should a school district push to collect food service debts?

A discussion at last week’s Newton Community School District Board of Education meeting was about tens of thousands of dollars, but it briefly expanded into some moral and time-management questions.

A report from Food Services Supervisor Cristy Croson about delinquent accounts included numbers on how much is owed to the district on food-service accounts, and what is being done to collect payments. She gave an overview of the district’s outstanding debts when it comes to food service fees charged to parents of students, and began

Outdoor warning sirens to be tested Wednesday

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Outdoor warning sirens that malfunctioned last week have been repaired and the city is planning to test them at 10 a.m. on Wednesday.

The testing coincides with Severe Weather Awareness Week in the state of Iowa.

“The technicians or people who did the work, they are going to be on standby here when we do the testing to make sure everything is up and running,” Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty said.

The warning sirens initially malfunctioned last Tuesday, sounding off three or four times between 4:30 and 6 p.m.

A test of the outdoor warning siren system that was scheduled for Wednesday was postponed to Friday because of high winds and to repair the malfunction.

The sirens tested on Friday sounded without issue throughout the city.

The test Wednesday falls on tornado awareness day during Severe Weather Awareness Week. The Iowa Depart-

ment of Homeland Security and Emergency Management, National Weather Service and local emergency management have joined together to promote severe weather awareness and family preparedness.

“Unfortunately, Iowans are all too familiar with the potential impact that severe weather can have on our state,” Gov. Terry Branstad said. “Severe Weather Awareness Week is a reminder to Iowa families and businesses that they should take time and review their own emergency disaster preparedness plans to ensure you are best able to deal with severe weather.”

The annual tornado drill will take place at approximately 10 a.m. on Wednesday. Schools, businesses, state and local governments and individuals are strongly encouraged to participate in the drill. Additional information about the tornado drill can be found on local NWS websites.

WHERE IT’S AT Astrograph......................5B Calendar..........................5A Classifieds......................4B

A man incarcerated at the Newton Correctional Facility is facing additional charges after assaulting a fellow inmate.

Keith M. Piper, 31, said he committed the assault including kicking, punching and striking the inmate with a padlock in a sock and cutting him with a razor.

The assault, Piper said, according to court documents, was because the inmate was imprisoned for sexually abusing a child and continued to talk about the abuse.

Piper is charged with willful injury causing bodily injury for the assault.

According to the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office report, Piper told the other inmate he needed to build respect with the other inmates by showing he could take a beating. The inmate agreed and allowed Piper to hit the victim in the ribs 18 to 19 times on March 1. On March 2, Piper said they needed to do

it again and began hitting him again, placing a sweatshirt in his mouth to quiet the yelling and keep officers away.

Piper said he punched him so many times his hand hurt and the victim had curled up on the floor to protect himself.

Piper then placed a padlock in a sock and began hitting the victim in the head, body, feet, ankles and shins.

Piper noticed the victim’s face began to swell and he took a razor to his face to reduce swelling. He then began to cut other parts of his body until he noticed a large amount of blood in the cell.

At that time, he allowed the victim to call for help. The victim pushed the assistance button and laid back on his bunk. Piper began hitting the victim again until officer arrived and separated them.

Piper remains at the Newton Correction Facility.

A catered lunch will kick off the meeting at noon followed by a cover crop plot tour at the farm. Discussions lead by local experts will include the underground benefits of cover crops and the pros and cons of different termination methods. A panel discussion including local farmers, an agronomist and an NRCS technician will close out the meeting to answer any questions regarding their operation and experiences with cover crops. Equipment will be on display as well as a rainfall simulator.

This field day is being held by Iowa Corn Growers Association, Jasper County Soil and Water Conservation District, Jasper County NRCS and the Jasper County Farm Bureau.

RSVP to the Jasper County NRCS Field Office at 641-792-4116 by March 31.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News James Petersen examines seedlings on a field of recently planted oats. He said oats are a “nurse crop” that can be used on a field intermittently.

Oats not common, but have a function

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Iowa is the national production leader in several agricultural categories, but oats is not one of them.

In fact, the Hawkeye State ranks fifth, and its 2014 production was about one-third of the national leader, South Dakota. But that doesn’t mean oats aren’t a essential crop to the world’s food supply, and one area farmer uses oats as a regular part of his field rotation.

Taking Highway 14 south of Monroe and into Marion County leads to James Petersen’s 140-acre farm he operates along with his sons. The operation includes 1,000 ewes and 300 head of cattle, so Petersen needs fields of crops that are as low-maintenance as possible.

“Oats are called ‘nurse crops’ by some, because it’s a good crop to help get a field in even better shape,” Petersen said. “It’s important to get a small grain in there every few years.”

Petersen said oats can grow on a variety of field inclines, but certainly work well on small or medium-size fields on flat land. He points out the tiny seedlings that are just coming up on a nearly level 30-acre field on the edge of his acreage, as seen about one

week after planting.

Petersen believes he’s one of the few farmers in his area who plants both conventional and organic crops. He also has rye winter cover grasses on hilly areas near livestock pens, keeping soil from being blown and washed both into animal areas and into the watershed.

In 2015, Iowa farmers harvested about 57,000 acres worth of oats, which ranks it as a small crop compared to the state’s 13.5 million acres of corn or more than nine million for soybeans. At an average price of $2.65 per bushel, the 4.2 million bushels harvested

by Iowa farmers netted them about $11 million.

Soybeans topped 550 million bushels last year, and corn grain produced more than 2.5

JOHNSTON — Both the Iowa House and Senate passed a one year, full coupling of Section 179 to the federal provision allowing farmers and small businesses to expense and depreciate capital expenses on their tax returns on March 15.

The Iowa Corn Growers Association thanks the House and Senate leaders for swiftly bringing this to a vote on the floor, and also appreciates those who voted for the passage of both bills.

“The actions of the House and Senate will allow for Iowa’s farm families to take full advantage of reinvesting in their businesses. In order to successfully run a farm, you must continually update and replace equipment in order to maintain a fully functioning operation,” ICGA President Bob Hemesath said.

“With volatile commodity prices and general downturn in the ag economy, this measure keeps Iowa’s rural economy going strong and allows farmers to manage cash flow when we do experience a tighter ag economy.”

billion bushels. However, oats averaged 73 bushels per acre, while soybeans were only at 56.

Oats are typically planted earlier in the spring than corn and soybeans, and the harvest happens around July, about the same time some sweet corn is picked. He said if rye is planted along with the oats, the grass might grow higher after the oat harvest, allowing for a second picking of the rye later in the year.

“Oats do well in dry conditions, so rainfall is not always an issue,” Petersen said. “In fact, in 2012, a really dry year, that was one of my best oats years ever.”

MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — General Mills’ announcement on Friday that it will start labeling products that contain genetically modified ingredients to comply with a Vermont law shows food companies might be throwing in the towel, even as they hold out hope Congress will find a national solution.

Tiny Vermont is the first state to require such labeling, effective July 1. Its fellow New England states of Maine and Connecticut have passed laws that require such labeling if other nearby states put one into effect.

The U.S. Senate voted 48-49 Wednesday against a bill that would have blocked such state laws.

The food industry is holding out hope that Congress will prevent states from requiring such labeling. Some companies say they plan to follow Vermont’s law, while others are considering pulling their products from the small state.

The Grocery Manufacturers Association has called for a national solution instead of what it says is a patchwork of confusing and costly state labeling laws. It has also challenged Vermont’s law in federal court, asking that the law be blocked until the case is resolved. That request was denied and is on appeal.

Local & State News Council Continued from Page 1A In his report to the council, city administrator Bob Knabel acknowledged the price per acre is high, but if it is spread across an envisioned 14 or Friedman m o r e townhomes, the price becomes more reasonable at approximately $7,500 per townhome.

“This investment is a big one, to purchase this property, with more investment anticipated to follow. Actually putting roads in and utilities will be several hundreds of thousands

of dollars more,” Friedman said. “The purchase agreement is dependent on a parcel of land actually being divided off through a surveying and subdivision process. The process would also cover all of the development details such as utilities, road infrastructure and development standards and covenants.

Funds to purchase the property will come from the housing initiative bond approved by council in 2014. The bond allotted more than $3.6 million to implement the initiative with $320,000 to go toward property acquisitions and development.

The land is relatively flat with many mature trees throughout. A maintenance shed is also located on the property, but it would be removed and the land potentially used as a storm water

detention basin water feature.

To make the development a reality, the city will need to partner with builders, developers and property managers.

Work to recruit partners will depend on the subdivision process and market interest.

“Long-term view of this is that we would be able to recoup some of the investment through partnering with private developers. The long term gain is having $3 or $4 million dollars worth of residential value there, paying taxes and living in our community,” Friedman said.

The city hopes that by taking the lead on the project, it can fill a community need and hopefully start a piece of what could be a larger development at the former golf course.

“We want to make

sure that we set the right tone for a prime piece of residential opportunity. The former country club is 70 plus acres of beautiful land within a neighborhood area and by setting the development tone in a high quality way I think that it will get things rolling and pay a big dividend,” Friedman said.

This is the second land purchase the council has made in March.The council approved the acquisition of the former Juice and Junk building and 10.49 acres it sits on for $550,000 at its March 7 meeting. With the purchase, the city hopes to bring new commercial activity to the Interstate 80 corridor while at the same time rejuvenating a blighted property.

Balances Continued from Page 1A provide help in recovering past-due account balances. At that time, Croson said were 44 family accounts for students that have left the district, totaling about $7,200, and a total of $25,000 of active accounts that have balances of $500 or more.

Since districts receive federal money for their nutritional programs, those accounts cannot run a negative balance.

Last week, Croson said of the 86 accounts the district sent to Transworld, totaling about $42,000, and only “collected up about 12 accounts,” erasing about $7,500 of the debt.

“Many of the overdue accounts are from families whose students are no longer in the district,” Croson said. “So even Transworld has trouble finding a current address for some of them.”

Croson said families who have gone from fully paid to either free or reduced meals are often the accounts that go unpaid, as the student’s family signed up for assistance due to low household income. She said her primary concern is accounts with balances of $500 or more.

Transworld still has $34,000 worth of overdue Newton accounts on its hands. Croson said there has been a new debt of $27,000 run up in the district from accounts just since the beginning of the 2015-16 school year in August.

Director of Business Services Gayle Isaac and Board President Sheri Benson both said it isn’t usually practical to pursue small-claims court action against parents, especially those who have left the district.

Croson said crowdfunding, using websites such as GoFundMe, was the course of action recommended by those in the school food service business. She received no objections from the board to starting a crowdfunding account to help reduce balances of some accounts.

The Newton Daily News wasn’t able to discover any crowdsourcing food-service accounts specific to Newton schools by presstime.

Newton Schools allows every student to charge meals, no matter what is owed, but policies on whether to serve students food no matter what is owed on their accounts varies greatly around Iowa and the U.S. In the Mason City School District, students can continue to receive regular meals until their funds hit negative $15.

Discussions about Newton’s rising food service debt go back at least as far as the spring of 2006, when the debt was only $11,000.

There are more than 1,500 children on free or reduced-price lunch among the approximate 2,950 students enrolled in the district — a ratio that has doubled since the year 2000.

Feeling the madness T

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson

he opening weekend of the NCAA Basketball Tournament has to be one of my favorites of the year. I can watch any one of the 48 games played and enjoy it, even if I don’t know a thing about either team.

You never know when a Cinderella is going to pop up and ruin brackets (like mine) but make the weekend so much more interesting.

I, like many other people across the country, selected Michigan State to go all of the way. Izzo always has his teams ready for the big dance, and they had just come off of a Big Ten tournament win.

Even though I have approximately $5 on the line, I was not sad to see them lose and watch a 15-seed move on to the second round in a dominating fashion. That is what makes the opening days great.

Two Iowa teams, the Hawkeyes and Panthers took last second shots to move on and the Cyclones held everything together against a 13 to easily move on and face another potential Cinderella in Little Rock, a 12 seed.

Iowa State got to punch its ticket to the Sweet 16 first with a commanding performance that left little doubt about the determination of the team from Ames. Iowa (shakes head) did not.

Being the eternal optimist I am when it comes to Iowa’s teams, I had them picked to win. I didn’t know a lot about Villanova, but I sure learned after about 10 minutes of play. Much like the Rose Bowl, the game was over early with not much of a chance for a come back. The tournament ended like it had wrapped for the Hawks, disappointing and head shaking.

I don’t want to end on a sour note with my favorite team, though. I loved our run through December and January and have learned to enjoy the good times while they are here. There are a few players that I will miss less than others, ahem, Woodbury, but even he had his shining moment to seal the deal in overtime.

I hardly want to mention what went down on Sunday evening for UNI. I had called victory for the

Panthers only to watch what has been deemed the worst meltdown in tournament history take place. I can only feel sympathy for the players because I am sure that loss will stick with them for a long time.

As the weekend wrapped up, I was sad to see it finish but excited for what is to come. Even as a hard core Iowa fan who routinely is against the Cyclones, I will cheer for the team in its bid to make a deep run in the tournament. There are also several Big Ten teams still in action, and I love to cheer against Kansas, Duke and North Carolina.

On a final note, I recently purchased my tickets for football and only have 158 days to wait until kick-off at Kinnick. Let’s hope the time goes by fast.

Smile like Mona Lisa They stand in line outside the homeless shelter I pass on my way home from work, smoking, most of ‘em, waiting for the 5 p.m. opening.

I know many of them from stories I’ve written.

They lounge in the public library where my mother used to work. They panhandle outside the newspaper office where I work, outside of the breakfast and lunch joint down the street, outside of the bar I’ve been going to for 20 years.

I’m predictable. I’m good for some change.

Today, there was a guy I’d never seen before, but I’m pretty sure I know his story.

He was young, clean. Usually that kind of guy just got bounced by a girlfriend, and he’s not from here so he doesn’t have family or friends he can stay with for a while. Those guys don’t look concerned.

They’ll go back to her tomorrow, apologize, promise to straighten up. It usually works.

I know I’m supposed to hate them because they’re smoking $7-a-pack cigarettes instead of putting that money toward a security deposit. I wish the poor would spend their money wisely, but I know it’s hard to think ahead when you’re waiting for the homeless shelter to open.

There was a heavily built woman outside today, wearing a bulky tan coat, smiling a little bit of a secret smile, listening to the skinny guy next to her, who may have been singing the old, sweet song.

Then again, he could have been singing some much worse lyric. There are drug dealers working the streets round here and, after dark, the sidewalk in front of the library blooms with street whores.

I used to have bad jobs when I was a young man.

It didn’t make much difference that they were bad jobs either. I lived with my parents and was just earning college money.

Generally, there was a back door to the places where I worked, always made of steel with a very small window high up on the door. The window always had wire mesh embedded in the glass.

We’d stand out there and smoke on our breaks, a rough-looking bunch on some rough minimum-wage job, hotel maids and cooks, janitors, loading dock workers, whatever the job description was on the other side of that particular steel door.

I sang the old, sweet song out there a time or two and got a secret smile back. We all laughed and smiled out there on those 15-minute breaks that were always interrupted at the end by a boss.

I don’t remember why we laughed or smiled. We sure as hell weren’t stupid enough wto like the job.

And we looked, I know I looked, just like those people I see every day at the shelter. We couldn’t really afford to smoke, either, though all of us smoked. We were foolish and untidy and those of us who weren’t in school were probably going to be smoking outside some steel door for the rest of our lives. The last good thing we had before we went back in was that smile.

Combatting human trafficking For far too long human trafficking has lurked in the shadows, avoiding the notice of most Iowans. Many do not realize how prevalent it is in our state. According to the US Department of Health and Human Services, it is the second largest criminal industry in the world, generating $32 billion annually.

When the term human trafficking is used, most people think of the issue in terms of prostitution. To be certain, that constitutes a large portion of the subject matter. According to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center, victims of sex trafficking are overwhelmingly female (93 percent) and a majority (53 percent) are under the age of 17.

However, this issue encompasses more than just sex trafficking, it also includes situations where individuals are forced into involuntary labor and other forms of enslavement. Human trafficking is literally a modern-day form of slavery.

For the last several sessions, it has been a legislative priority to bring forth bills aimed at combatting this horrendous crime.

Parents of teenage cutters must listen and not judge

DEAR READERS: I promised “Heartbroken Mom From Anywhere” (Oct. 5) to print letters from readers offering suggestions about helping her teen daughter, who is a cutter: DEAR ABBY: I am a 33-year-old woman who has cut for many years, starting early in high school. What concerns me is the mom doesn’t completely understand what’s going on.

Not many people do.

Self-harm is a cry for help from someone who doesn’t know how to voice his or her emotions. I, too, was bullied and didn’t know how to express the pain I was feeling, so I took it out on my body. Over the years it became my coping mechanism, although an unhealthy one.

Helping someone who is self-harming requires understanding AND A LICENSED PROFESSIONAL to identify the emotions and suggest better ways to express them. One that worked for me was doing puzzles. It was a way to keep my mind and hands busy.

This teen also needs to know she is not alone. Parents need to listen. I cannot stress how important it is for cutters to know someone is there for them with love and no judgment. — KNOWS FROM EXPERIENCE IN MISSOURI DEAR ABBY: I grew up in a dysfunctional household with abusive parents. When I would cut, it was like I could feel all my pent-up emotions leaking out through the wounds on my legs. The physical pain was bearable and distracted me from everything that was going on in my life, and I would feel a little bit better about myself and a little less desperate.

Cutting is a powerful addiction.

Even now, more than 10 years later, when things get bad I feel a compulsion to just make one small cut. What helped me to stop cutting wasn’t counseling or medication. It was becoming passionate about active hobbies that allowed me to release my bottled-up feelings and stress and feel good at the same time. — FORMER CUTTER IN MINNESOTA DEAR ABBY: I have worked in psychiatry for 10 years and have found

that some of these children have been sexually molested. Some told their parents and were not believed because it was the mother’s boyfriend, a family friend or a relative. Carrying this around is a heavy burden.

Parents need to show the child they will look into the allegation. We should be a safe place for our kids to offload all their fears and insecurities, because we have a duty to protect them from abuse. — IN THE FIELD IN BROOKLYN, N.Y. DEAR ABBY: I have been a cutter from age 9 to the present — age 22 — though now it’s less frequent. The biggest mistake my parents and friends made when I was really destructive was forcing me to commit to ultimatums.

It turned my cutting into a shameful thing, isolated me and made it impossible to talk about it.

I advise “Heartbroken” to keep talking to her daughter (not nagging) about cutting, bullying, school and things the girl likes. Share activities with her. Take her hiking, bicycling, to museums or movies. Spending time with her is important for distraction and bonding. Physical activity can help depressed individuals feel better.

And she should understand that recovery is never a straight line. There will be hiccups, setbacks and days when it doesn’t seem like it will get better. Eventually, with therapy (via counselors, bonding with friends/family, connection with nature/animals) and learning better coping habits, she will improve. Patience and support are imperative. — KYLE IN PENNSYLVANIA

4 Authorities probe suspected

1 City bans smoking, tobacco items from parks

WEST DES MOINES — The City Council has banned smoking from all 29 city parks in West Des Moines.

Parks director Gary Scott says police will issue warnings to first offenders.

WEST UNION — Authorities say they’re investigating what appears to be a murder-suicide in Fayette County. The county sheriff ’s office says deputies were dispatched a little before 9 p.m. Monday to investigate a report about gunshots at an apartment complex.

One student dead, three hospitalized after crash

Oil continues to leak from Storm Lake dredge STORM LAKE — Iowa officials say vegetable-based oil continues to leak from a Storm Lake dredge.

A Monday news release from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources says it was alerted that oil was still leaking near the dredge on the east side of the Storm Lake marina Sunday.

Booms were placed around the dredge last week in an effort to contain the leak after it was first discovered. Moss was placed on the oil to try and absorb it.

NEOLA — Authorities say a western Iowa high school student died and three others were hospitalized after a rollover crash. The accident occurred around 5:40 p.m. Monday on a road between Tri-City High School and Neola. Pottawattamie County sheriff ’s Sgt. Steve Winchell says witnesses reported that the driver lost control of the pickup the students were in. It ran into a roadside ditch and rolled at least once.

Kayaker rescued from lake in Ames park AMES — Authorities say a kayaker has been rescued from a lake in an Ames park.

Police and firefighters were dispatched around 5:15 p.m. Monday after someone reported seeing the man in the water at Ada Hayden Heritage Park, hanging onto the outside of the kayak. The man apparently had been in the bone-chilling water for more than 40 minutes and couldn’t get back into the kayak or reach shore.

Earl May to host Salvation Army fundraiser Saturday

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News As many prepare for spring gardening and landscaping, Earl May is preparing to give back to the community.

Earl May Nursery and Garden Center of Newton will host its annual Earl May Cares event from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Saturday at the store, 2306 First Ave. E. in Newton.

The business will donate 20 percent of its sales from the event to the local food pantry, The Salvation Army of Jasper County. Non-perishable food items will also be collected through the end of the month and donated to the food pantry.

“Earl May is a family company, and it’s always been important to give back to the local communities,” Newton Earl May Manager Tony Pherigo said.

This is the third year the two community members have partnered together.

“Earl May really takes care of the hard work, and we get to receive the items and hand them out. It’s been great for us. We really appreciate the

community partnership,” The Salvation Army of Jasper County Major Mikey Carter said.

Earl May sells lawn and garden supplies as well as seasonal decor, small pet items and patio furniture. Miniature gardens or fairy gardens have become popular, Pherigo said, and “Make-N-Take” miniature gardens will be available Saturday.

“Events are always fun,” Pherigo said. “Kids and parents are able to build their own miniature fairy garden, and we help them put it together and design it.”

Customers are invited to design and create their very own miniature garden. Earl May will provide the soil and decorative gravel and customers can decorate and purchase miniature garden items at a discounted rate.

Carter said donations throughout the year are important to the organization. The Salvation Army serves many families: some who only need assistance during the winter or holidays and others who are in temporary need throughout the year.

“One of the benefits of the event is

Branstad says he will work with lawmakers on reduced budget DES MOINES (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad says he will work with legislative leaders in response to lower-than-expected revenue for the upcoming budget, but he didn’t specify what cuts are possible.

Branstad said Monday he wants to work with lawmakers to address “the financial realities” of the budget that goes into effect in July.

State budget experts released data recently that determined Iowa is taking in less revenue than expected. A new calculation means there is about $7.3 billion available to spend next

fiscal year.

Branstad had budgeted for more available funds. He said the new budget would be “extremely tight,” but he did not provide details on potential cuts.

Branstad Branstad also did not specify whether the new figure would lower how much he recommends the state spend on basic aid for K-12 education.

Video shows trooper refusing to cooperate during OWI arrest IOWA CITY (AP) — An off-duty Iowa State Patrol trooper tried to get out of a drunken-driving arrest by repeatedly refusing to cooperate and then berating the arresting officer for making the “community weaker,” according to police recordings released Monday.

Audio and video from the arresting offi-

cer’s body camera and patrol car show Patrick Steinbach acting belligerently during the Dec. 20 arrest outside a woman’s home in Williamsburg, 25 miles west of Iowa City. The arrest prompted his resignation from the patrol and the removal of a booking officer who gave him special treatment at the Iowa County jail.

The recordings, released to The Associated Press under Iowa’s open records law, show that the former Iowa State football player repeatedly refused to say whether he would take a breath test. He insisted it was “absurd” to suggest he would ever drive drunk, telling the arresting officer, “I love you guys like brothers.”

At least 31 dead in bombings of Brussels airport, metro

Members of The Jolly Workers 4-H Club of Newton work on packaging.

The Jasper County 4-H Council oversaw the packaging event.

Compassion served More than 200 4-Hers participate in Meals From the Heartland event Newton Daily News Hundreds of Jasper County 4-H Council participated in a Feb. 28 charity event at the Jasper County Fairgrounds in Colfax as part of a countywide citizenship project.

The council held

its fourth annual 4-H Meals From the Heartland event, with 207 4-H members, representing 10 of the county’s 14 clubs, helping to package 29,592 meals for those in need. Parents and siblings also participated in the event.

To date, the council’s

members have packages 90,720 meals.

Meals From the Heartland is a Des Moines-based organization that addresses hunger as a national and global issue, with regular packaging events that focus on Central Iowa.

BRUSSELS (AP) — Bombs exploded at the Brussels airport and one of the city’s metro stations Tuesday, killing at least 31 people and wounding dozens, as a European capital was again locked down amid heightened security threats.

The two airport blasts, at least one of which was blamed on a suicide bomber, left behind a chaotic scene of splattered blood in the departure lounge as windows were blown out, ceilings collapsed and travelers streamed out of the smoky building.

About an hour later, another bomb exploded on a rush-hour subway train near the European Union headquarters. Terrified passengers had to evacuate through darkened tunnels to safety.

“What we feared has happened,” Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel told reporters. “In this time of tragedy, this black moment for our country, I appeal to everyone to remain calm but also to show solidarity.”

Belgium raised its terror alert to the highest level, diverting planes and trains and ordering people to stay where they were. Airports across Europe immediately tightened security.

“We are at war,” French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said after a crisis meeting called by the French president. “We have been subjected for the last few months in Europe to acts of war.”

European security officials have been bracing for a major attack for weeks, and warned that the Islamic State group was actively preparing to strike. The arrest Friday of a key suspect in the November attacks in Paris heightened those fears, as investigators said many more people were involved than originally thought, and that some are still on the loose.

There was no immediate claim of responsibility for Tuesday’s attacks, and Michel said there was no immediate evidence linking key Paris suspect Salah Abdeslam to them. After his arrest Friday, Abdeslam told authorities he had created a new network and was planning new attacks.

At Brussels’ Zaventem airport, the two explosions hit the departures area during the busy morning rush.

Belgian Health Minister Maggie de Block told Belgian media that 11 people were killed and 81 injured.

Zach Mouzoun, who arrived on a flight from Geneva about 10 minutes before the first blast, told BFM television that the second, louder explosion brought down ceilings and ruptured pipes, mixing water with

victims’ blood.

“It was atrocious. The ceilings collapsed,” he said. “There was blood everywhere, injured people, bags everywhere.”

“We were walking in the debris. It was a war scene,” he said.

Anthony Deloos, an airport worker for Swissport, which handles check-in and baggage services, said the first explosion took place near the Swissport counters where customers pay for overweight baggage. He and a colleague said the second blast hit near the Starbucks cafe.

“We heard a big explosion. It’s like when you’re in a party and suddenly your hearing goes out, from like a big noise,” Deloos said, adding that shredded paper floated through the air as a colleague told him to run.

“I jumped into a luggage chute to be safe,” he said.

The bomb that went off an hour later on the subway train killed 20 people and injured more than 100, Brussels Mayor Yvan Majeur said.

“The metro was leaving Maelbeek station for Schuman when there was a really loud explosion,” said Alexandre Brans, 32, wiping blood from his face. “It was panic everywhere. There were a lot of people in the metro.”

Near the entrance to the station, rescue workers set up a makeshift medical treatment center in a pub.

Dazed and shocked morning commuters streamed from the metro entrances as police tried to set up a security cordon.

The metro shut down after the attacks, as did the airport. More than 200 flights to Brussels were diverted or canceled, according to flight tracking service Flightradar24.

At least one and possibly two Kalashnikovs were found in the departure lounge at the airport, according to a European security official in contact with Belgian police who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak about the ongoing investigation.

It was not immediately clear whether the firearms were used in the attacks.

Amateur video showed passengers fleeing as quickly as they could.

In a video shown on France’s i-Tele television, passengers, including a child running with a backpack, dashed out of the terminal in different directions as they tugged luggage.

Another image showed a security officer patrolling inside a hall with blown-out paneling and what appeared to be ceiling insulation covering the floor.

Colfax-Mingo, Lynnville-Sully boys combine for seven SICL titles

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Lynnville-Sully senior Sage Ehresman won the boys shot put at the South Iowa Cedar League Indoor Championships at Grinnell College on Monday.

GRINNELL — The Colfax-Mingo and Lynnville-Sully boys track and field teams had a chance to see how they stacked up against other programs in the South Iowa Cedar League on Monday.

And both teams left feeling pretty good as the Hawks and Tigerhawks combined for seven conference championships at the SICL Indoor Championships at Charles A. Bear Fieldhouse on the campus of Grinnell College.

Tigerhawk senior Jacob Lietz won three SICL titles, pulling away late to win the 400-meter dash ahead of two other area runners and then anchored the C-M 4x200 and 4x400 relay teams to a win.

Joining Lietz on both of those relays were Blake Summy and Gabe Simpson, while Colin Lourens won the long jump and ran on the 4x200 relay to claim his two golds.

Lynnville-Sully got individual wins by senior Sage Ehresman (shot put) and senior Canyon Kuhlmann (1,600) and the Hawks' distance medley relay team also claimed the top prize.

No team points were kept at the meet and medals were not given.

Lietz won the 400 in 53.50 seconds, which was .45 seconds faster than Lynnville-Sully's Corey McCoy. Summy was third in 55.27.

Lourens won the long jump

with a leap of 19 feet, 8 1/4 inches. Lynnville-Sully's Cayden Johnson was sixth in the event with a top mark of 17-8 1/2.

Ehresman needed just three throws to claim the top prize in the shot put. He had the lead going into the finals with a toss

of 46-8 1/4 that held up for the victory.

L-S' Vos wins 1,500 title in SICL indoor

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News GRINNELL — Colfax-Mingo junior Dakota Hostetter's absence at the South Iowa Cedar League Indoor Championships on Monday was evident in the Tigerhawks' lineup.

C-M coach Zach Tomas would have been able to do a few more things with his team if Hostetter was competing, but her absence allowed the Tigerhawk coach to see what others had to offer in the early stages of the season.

It also allowed Lynnville-Sully senior Marissa Vos an easier route to an SICL championship as she crossed the finish line first in the 1,500-meter run with a time of 6 minutes, 2.14 seconds.

Hostetter, who had the Tigerhawks' fastest outdoor times in the 100, 200, 400, 800, 1,500 and 3,000 last year, was in New York on a band trip.

The Tigerhawks also did not have state qualifier Ries Wilson, who was attending the same trip in New York.

Junior Amy Russell ended up with the Tigerhawks' best finish as she claimed a runner-up tally in the shot put with a throw of 32 feet, 10 1/2 inches.

Katerina Mentielova, a foreign exchange student form the Czech Republic, tied for second in the high jump with a leap of 4-4.

Vos' win in the 1,500 was the only area win on the night.

Rupp, Haskins left legacy extending beyond social barriers

By Dave Skretta AP Sports Writer Reggie Minton spent more than a decade matching wits with Don Haskins, back when he was coaching at the Air Force Academy, and there was one thing that always stood out in his mind.

“He was very hard-nosed,” Minton said. “Very unforgiving.”

The same could be said of Adolph Rupp, the Baron of the Bluegrass, who led top-ranked Kentucky against Haskins and Texas Western in the 1966 national championship game.

Fifty years later, that matchup at Cole Field House in Maryland stands out as a watershed moment in college basketball as an all-black starting lineup beat an all-white team considered the best in the land.

The social significance of that moment is not the only legacy left behind. The two

coaches parrying with each other that March day revolutionized the way the game is played.

“If you’re successful with what you’re doing, that influences others,” said Minton, the deputy executive director of the National Association of Basketball Coaches. “So it makes sense that coaches today would take pieces of their

games.”

Rupp was a 29-year-old high school coach when he was hired by Kentucky, proclaiming in his interview he should get the job “because I’m the best damn coach in the nation.” He proved it over the next four decades, winning 82 percent of his games and leading the Wildcats to four national championships.

How he did it was unlike anything done before him.

Drawing on his experience playing for Phog Allen at Kansas, Rupp took the game from a plodding, half-court affair dependent on set pieces into the modern age. He preached an up-tempo style that would catch unprepared opponents flat-footed and lead to countless layups on the break.

“We had a lot of quickness. We were very, very hard to guard because we were so quick and big teams labored to keep up,” said Larry Conley, who played for the Wildcats in the 1960s. “It did hurt us against some teams that had big players, like Clyde Lee at Vanderbilt — they really gave us some tough games. But the compensation was that they couldn’t keep up with us.”

It wasn’t just the fast break that became a hallmark of Kentucky. Rupp’s teams embodied the toughness of their

coach, never giving an inch, and were usually the best-conditioned team on the floor — a credit to the running program instituted by longtime assistant Joe B. Hall.

And while few would accuse Rupp of being erudite, he had a knack for getting the most out of his players, in many ways bringing the concept of sports psychology to college hoops.

“He had a way about him that just led young men into giving effort for him,” Hall said. “He had a demand for excellence and didn’t settle for anything. It brought teams together through the competitiveness he initiated through his methods of coaching, and it just superseded an individual’s desire for personal success. It was all team-oriented.

He was very good at leading and demanding.”

Iowa's promising season ends in disappointment IOWA CITY (AP) — A surprise run to the top of the Big Ten standings was evidence that Iowa's once-dead program is on solid footing.

Yet another late-season collapse was proof that the Hawkeyes still have plenty of work to do.

Iowa reached its third straight NCAA Tournament for the first time in 23 years. But for the second time in three years, the Hawkeyes (22-11) closed out with a thud.

Iowa's only blowout loss came in its final game, an 87-68 loss to Villanova in the round of 32. The Hawkeyes closed the year with six defeats in eight games, mirroring a collapse in 2014.

"I'm very proud of my guys, the way we handled ourselves all season," senior guard Mike Gesell said. "The season's a grind. There are a lot of ups and downs during the season, and we kept plugging along, kept working hard every day."

The reality is that winning 22 games, earning a No. 7 seed in the NCAA Tournament and winning a firstround game as Iowa did over Temple

on a buzzer beater from Adam Woodbury, would have been a perfectly acceptable season for most fans in November. But Iowa raised expectations with a brilliant stretch in January, only to let its supporters down yet again in March.

T h e Hawkeyes hardly looked like an NCAA To u r n a m e n t team at first.

They lost to Dayton and Notre Dame, and blew a 20-point lead in a brutal road defeat at Iowa State.

But while most of its fans were focused on the Rose Bowl — also a crushing loss — the Hawkeyes soundly beat then-No. 1 Michigan State to open the Big Ten season.

It was the first of seven straight wins as Iowa got off to its best league start in over four decades and reached as high as third in the national rankings.

The Hawkeyes then blew their shot at an outright Big Ten title, which Sweet 16-bound Indiana clinched in Iowa City, and lost to lowly Illinois in the Big Ten Tournament.

The win over Temple, which was the second NCAA To u r n a m e n t victory under sixth-year coach Fran McCaffery, was quickly forgotten once Iowa fell behind by 25 at halftime against Villanova on Sunday.

"There's a winning culture there that says a lot about the character of the individuals on that team. I think, if you possess that kind of character, then you have a real legitimate shot to advance in this tournament because that's what you need," McCaffery said of Villanova.

That's exactly what Iowa will be looking for next season.

The Hawkeyes will need to replace four starters in Gesell, Anthony Clemmons, Adam Woodbury and Jarrod Uthoff, who despite some up and down moments was one of the best players in the country in 2015-16.

Junior Peter Jok has blossomed into a star, averaging 16.1 points a game while showing he can be a player can build around in 2016-17.

Walk-on Nicholas Baer had 15 points against the Wildcats, a performance that capped a surprisingly strong season. If Baer can continue to improve this off-season as much as he did in the last one, Iowa might have another star on its hands.

Frontcourt players Dom Uhl and Ahmad Wagner showed promise this season, and point guard Christian Williams emerged as a key reserve.

Power forward Tyler Cook might be in the rotation as a freshman as well.

Still, Iowa has moved past the point where making the NCAA Tournament constitutes a good season. The Hawkeyes have set higher expectations in recent years.

5:12.84. Klein crossed in 5:13.59.

The Tigerhawks’ 4x200 relay team of Summy, Simpson, Lourens and Lietz claimed the gold with a time of 1:38.02. L-S’ foursome of Ehresman, Sage Zylstra, Noah Engle and Nate Stock were fourth in 1:40.07.

C-M and L-S went 1-4 in the 4x400 relay, too.

The Tigerhawks once again led off with Summy and Simpson, but freshman Holister Koenig handed the baton to Lietz for the win in 3:43.14.

The Hawks’ team included Max Knapp, Tyson Vander Linden, Gage Vander Leest and McCoy, and they finished in 4:07.56.

Lynnville-Sully’s third win of the night came in the distance medley where Ross Van Wyk, Vander Linden, Vander Leest and Carson Dunsbergen finished in 4:07.56. Colfax-Mingo’s medley team of Marshall Maple, Lane Dunblazer, Zarek Hill and Adam Teed was fourth in 4:16.88.

The Tigerhawks collected two runner-up finishes.

Lourens was second in the 60

Those are traits you’ll find in successful coaches today, whether it’s ultra-intense Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski or the volatile-yet-beloved West Virginia coach Bob Huggins.

Haskins was no slouch when it came to demanding the most of his players, either.

There’s a reason he was nicknamed “The Bear.”

While Rupp left his mark on the offensive end, Haskins revolutionized the way defense is played, drawing upon the lessons he learned from longtime Oklahoma State coach Henry Iba. His teams unleashed an intense, in-yourshorts style of man-toman defense that nobody had ever seen.

“If they didn’t get on the pick-and-roll, didn’t talk, didn’t show on screens, you know, that was a mortal sin,” Minton said.

“It took effort and it took concentration and not everybody could do it.”

To pull it off, Haskins began to recruit athletes rather than simply basketball players. He wanted guys who could run and jump, not just shoot, because it was those guys who could also guard.

“I coached a lot of games against Don,” Minton said. “They always made it difficult for you. They were going to overplay and get in your face and you were going to have to figure a way out of it.”

If that sounds familiar, perhaps you’ve heard of “40 minutes of hell?”

That was what Nolan Richardson, who played for Haskins and adopted many of his strategies, called his suffocating defenses at Arkansas.

It worked so well that Richardson led the Razorbacks to the 1994 national title.

Many of the same traits have been employed by other protégés of Iba and Haskins, including Kansas coach Bill Self, whose team is the No. 1 overall seed in this year’s NCAA Tournament.

“The thing about both coaches,” Minton said, “they had an awful lot of success. And success bleeds to influence, and that turns into impact on our game. Both coaches had an impact on our game.”

Troy Hyde/Daily News Lynnville-Sully's Ryan Hofer placed third in the boys 60-meter hurdles at the South Iowa Cedar League Indoor Championships at Grinnell College on Monday. The Hawks had three victories on the day.

Summy had a fifth-place finish in the 200 as he hit the line in 25.05.

Astrograph

The Scorpio moon reminds us that transformation is seldom pretty. Growth is awkward by nature. Don’t let insecurity hold you back. Everyone has something to get past. Assume others are faking it too, and then get in there and make mistakes. They’ll be far more interesting than anything that would happen while sitting in the background.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 22). Next month will inspire your imagination and cause you to question some of the work you did last year. You’ll deconstruct a project and build a masterpiece from it. June will bring friendly rivalry

that pushes you to greatness.

A precious truth will quietly reveal itself in August. You’ll celebrate new social energy in September. Aquarius and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 28, 17, 4, 11 and 39.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Don’t believe everything you hear. Some around you will be speaking out of school. There’s no reason to attach a distorted significance to this. People are sometimes just plain misinformed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Words are strongly linked to destiny today. There may be a bit of vocabulary that needs

clarification. Does your definition of terms match up with someone else’s? If you’re not sure, ask!

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

When you’re committed to the right goal, you really won’t need to motivate yourself through the imposition of consequences. Reward and punishment will be unnecessary. Just lighten up and do your best.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

One way to feel like a superstar is to surround yourself with people who will obey, flatter and comfort you. That’s not your style. You want to be inspired, pushed and challenged, so you seek those with equal and/or superior skills.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). An exchange of two very different kinds of goods or acts may work out brilliantly, so long as both agree they are getting an equal value. Spend time sorting out a mutually agreeable system of evaluation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You will be susceptible to a special combination of alluring language and intriguing ideas and will likely follow their suggestion into a bit of lighthearted afternoon fun.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Your tastes are changing as you become exposed to a wider range of experiences and options. Ask the questions that will help you understand why and where things fit into the

larger context.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Some around you have a cool demeanor that prevents them from showing too much enthusiasm. You’re not bound to the same rules and values. Give out that infectious and energizing joy!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have been successful without knowing why. Ask around, though, because you’ve also been observed. It will be interesting to hear what others think of your process.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). One project will take most of your focus. Up until now, progress has been slow and gradual. You’ve been

happy with this approach, but now you’ve built up so much momentum that from here until the weekend you’ll be chasing the action.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Though you were not trying to impress anyone, you did. Part of the reason is that you listen better than anyone else around and therefore will pick up on hints that others miss.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

One needn’t know more than you know to be able to teach you. For instance, many Pisces will learn spiritual lessons through caring for children or interacting with animals.
