Lanphier Excavating selected for care facility demo

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Lanphier Excavating of Reasnor was awarded the bid for demolition of the former Jasper County Care Facility on Tuesday by the Jasper County Board of Supervisors.

The board selected the

base bid of $242,250 for the care facility demolition along with all four alternate pieces of work for a total of $297,500. Of the six bids submitted, Lanphier’s came in the lowest by more than $110,000.

The four alternates included in the bid are top

soil placement for $7,000, the youth shelter removal at $21,250, site paving removal for $17,000 and underground tank removal at $10,000.

“We’re not going to get it done any cheaper later (by waiting on the alternates),” Supervisor Denny Carpenter said.

Work to demolish the former care facility began in earnest when the county hired Shive-Hattery Engineering firm to take the lead on the project. Following asbestos abatement work, a bid packet was finalized and an on-site inspection was held for potential contractors.

Legislature appears to have school funding agreement

The demolition design includes utility disconnection, removal of all basements, a grading plan and seeding and restoration of the property among a list of additional work to bring the buildings down.

Iowa House legislators announced Tuesday a compromise has been struck on school funding, putting the increase in state aid for 2016-17 and 2017-18 at 2.25 percent on bills to be voted upon soon in the full House and Senate.

Committee increases at 2.25 percent

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Iowa lawmakers don’t have a K-12 school-funding bill on the governor’s desk yet, but a tentative agreement announced Tuesday represents the most progress so far this session in terms of a com-

promise.

Lawmakers from the Democratic-majority Senate and Republican-controlled House voted in a joint conference committee Tuesday for legislation that would increase spending for K-12 schools by 2.25 percent for the next two academic years, 2016-17 and 2017-18.

The compromise has yet to be voted upon by the full Senate or House. If approved, it would go to Gov. Terry Branstad for his approval; Branstad said earlier this year he would approve a 2.45 percent increase.

Leaders from both sides say

the deal was the best option given limited funding for the upcoming budget. Some Democratic lawmakers and education groups say the proposed funding will not be enough to prevent financial hardship for school districts.

The legislation will require formal approval in both chambers before Gov. Terry Branstad can review it. Lawmakers in the split Legislature disagree often over how much money is available for K-12 education.

NFD considering partnership in Baxter

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News An expanded role for the Newton Fire Department into local communities was discussed at the Monday’s city council meeting.

Newton Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik brought the topic before the council after being approached by Baxter Mayor Steve Smith to discuss the options available for assistance with coverage in his district.

“We’ve noticed a significant increase in calls from the Baxter area.

They have also had some issues providing staffing during certain times of the day and have asked the Newton Fire De-

partment to cover them during those periods,” Wellik said. “We’ve worked with them on a contingency basis and it is getting to the point now where they just don’t have staffing at all.”

During the past three years, the NFD has been monitoring the usage with Baxter as that small department has struggled with staffing. In the period of time, NFD responded for EMS coverage ranging from 9 to 35 percent of the calls per quarter.

Wellik said Baxter has tried different approaches to get staffing and would have limited success in short term. Recently, the city has had a change in sentiment

for services beyond the contingency work in the past. Based on

cost calculations including labor, mileage and maintenance, the proposed response fee with neighboring communities would be $250 per occurrence.

“The response fees would be based on when they are not able to staff their ambulance. They are taking a resource from the city of Newton and pulling it out of the city. For that, there should be a cost associated,” Wellik said.

In the event that Baxter could get a crew together, Newton would disregard the call and not charge a fee. Should Baxter not obtain staffing for a call, Newton

First UMC to host Easter breakfast, celebration

Alex Olp/ Daily News Pastor Teressa Clark sits at her desk with three of her Bibles inside the Bethany United Church of Christ in Baxter.

Clark made a non-traditional career change going from computer programming to her church role.

Second career pastor finds fascination with scripture

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News BAXTER — Jumping from computer programming to preaching is not a typical career transition for a pastor, but it’s one that Bethany United Church of Christ’s new pastor Teressa Clark made.

“I think I bring a completely different perspective to preaching at times and that’s in part because I’m a second career clergy,” Clark said.

As a computer programmer, Clark friended several non-Christians, including a practicing Muslim she shared a workspace with. That led to many discussions about what it actually means to be a person of faith, regardless of the religion, and has helped Clark gain a better understanding about religion as a whole.

“We all embraced the center of our faith and we each had strong love at the core of our faith, whatever that faith is. If we all embrace that and practice that as a whole, we’d have a much healthier and life-giving world,” Clark said.

Clark, who stepped in as the interim at Bethany UCC in November for retiring pastor Wanda Seydel, believes the congregation has adjusted well to a new pastor.

With three Bibles on her desk and room for one in her

bag, it’s fair to say Clark is fascinated with scripture and tries to incorporate that into her services.

“I’m very curious about scripture. From the time I was in college, I wanted to know why people fought about the best translation of the Bible.

People get very excited about the bible,” Clark said. “Being able to look at it in Greek and Hebrew just seemed to me as a way to find out why people fight about it so much.”

Coming from a background of math and science, Clark grew up around people who read the Bible literally. She stated that scripture was meant to be interpreted in many forms and encourages her congregation to find their own interpretations.

“I take scripture very seriously, but I don’t read it literally. These are stories of our faith and stories of people’s encounters with God and how they understood God in their time and place,” Clark said.

“Jesus told parable after parable. There’s so many stories told just to make a point, but they’re also open-ended and might mean something different every time you go back to them. That’s one thing I like to remind people of — parables were never meant to have just one interpretation.”

Even though she has a

lengthy career as a systems analyst, Clark did have a plan to step into the religion job force.

She eventually graduated from the Eden Theological Seminary in St. Louis, Mo., and was ordained at Des Moines’ Plymouth United Church in 2002.

Making the transition from the science and math world to a religious one might be an unusual career move, but Clark said the two jobs do have similarities.

“A lot of what I did as a systems analyst was listen to people and try to figure out what they were doing at their work and then translate that so we could write computer programs to make their work easier,” she said. “So now what I do is take scripture, interpret it, translate it and try to find out how does that apply to our lives.”

Clark does that every Sunday now, but her duties as a part-time pastor also include some pastoral care and teaching a confirmation class.

“I love teaching confirmation. There’s something about middle school kids that just makes me smile,” she said.

Clark will remain as the interim at Bethany UCC while the search committee begins the early stages of finding a full-time pastor.

Breaking taboo, Hindu widows celebrate festival VRINDAVAN, India (AP) — Aruna Samaddar threw fistfuls of colored powder into the air. Blue and red and green, the cheerful colors settled on her white sari and all over other women nearby.

In most of India, widows like Samaddar have no place in this joyful celebration of Holi, the Hindu festival of colors. The country’s millions of observant Hindu widows are expected to live out their days in quiet worship, dressed only in white. They are typically barred from all religious festivities because their very presence is considered inauspicious.

So for Samaddar, Monday’s celebration was a joy long denied.

“I am so happy. I am playing Holi after 12 years. I am happy, very happy,” said Samaddar, who appeared to be in her early 30s. The powder made her white sari and those of the widows around her shimmer in myriad colors.

So deep is the ostracization of widows that they’re often shunned by their families and forced to seek shelter in temples.

The holy city of Vrindavan, in India’s Uttar Pradesh state, is known as the City of Widows because it has given so many women shelter. And in recent years, widows have found a bit of color and joy here as well.

Aid group Sulabh International has been organizing regular Holi celebrations in Vrindavan since 2013.

Local & State News Funding Continued from Page 1A committee, said funding levels at a low level like a 2.25 percent increase will likely lead to some districts no longer being viable.

“I believe we will see more of Iowa’s rural schools being threatened with forced consolidation,” Bowman said. “Even with this increase, Iowa’s stu-

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday, March 23, 2016 | 3A

dents will have fewer educational opportunities. After several tough years, we need to re-look at the whole budget again. I continue to have strong concerns about the low levels of funding that we are providing in the long term for our Iowa local schools.”

Rep. Greg Heartsill (R-Columbia), whose District 28 includes part of Jasper County, pointed out that the compromise will give districts a total

of $153 million more for the next two school years than they received in aid for 201516.

“Unfortunately, this agreement is coming late for school districts to work their budgets, but it does provide a funding increase that the state will be able to follow through on,” Heartsill said. “K-12 education is receiving most of the state’s new available revenue.

This will be the sixth year in a

row that schools have received an increase in funding, totaling $660 million.”

While legislators often disagree on the starting size of the revenue pool available for education (the state’s largest budget item) and other expenditures, this year’s gap was particularly wide. Complicating efforts was the federal tax-coupling issue, which Branstad resolved by signing HF 2433 into law this week.

Bowman hopes the governor will act quickly on school funding, should the House and Senate promptly approve the compromise.

“I hope Gov. Branstad will agree and approve it in a timely manner,” Bowman said.

Bids were submitted to the auditor’s office by March 4 and opened at the March 8 supervisors meeting.

Christopher Bauer, the Shive-Hattery engineer working on the project, reviewed all bids and made the recommendation of low bidder Lanphier Excavating to the board.

The supervisors took a week to discuss the bids as well as the four alternate pieces of work before approving the entire bid packet from Lanphier.

Following required paperwork being completed, the board expects to move quickly to begin demolition, although no firm start date has been set.

Also approved was the speed limit reduction to 35 miles per hour for

“I believe that this is a good move for the fire department to provide this. We rely on these communities to help us with coverage for fires. They help supplement staffing and we go out and cover them as well,” Wellik said. “This is outside of what I consider that agreement. This is a case where they are not able to provide an adequate amount of resources and so they are relying on us to provide them for them.”

Councilwoman Lin Chape voiced a concern about the longevity of the program and its potential impact on the city of Newton.

“This is not just a temporary thing. I tend to look at it a little longer term. As our community grows, we’ll be called upon to provide service, what happens is a stretch begins on our staff and availability,” Chape said. “It seems to me it could be a growing demand over time. I have some concerns about that.”

Wellik agreed that the volunteer fire service industry is suffering. The recruitment and retention rate of the programs is a major problem and the future does not look hopeful for any changes.

“Life and families have gotten busier. We don’t see the engagement anymore and employers less likely to let employees be gone for long stretches,” Wellik said. “This to me is a gap-fill. It is not intended to be a long term solution to this. I think that the number would have to be re-estimated and we would have to go back and take a harder look at it to evaluate the costs of building and replacement of equipment, which we did not look at for the initial model.”

Although the new services will take resources away from the city, councilwoman Evelyn George said if management correctly, it could beneficial for Newton.

“If it’s one to two additional calls per week throughout the year, if that can be managed well while serving the citizens of Newton, it can actually help us be more efficient and effective with our resources. We are going to be getting a new revenue stream I am good with that. We are being good neighbors, and we’re also being fiscally responsible to our citizens,” George said.

The proposal is set to go before the council for approval at its next meeting on April 4.

Scott County residents push for native plants along roads DAVENPORT (AP) — A group of Scott County residents is creating a plan to plant native grasses and flowers along the county’s more than 550 miles of secondary roads.

The Quad-City Times reports that the group has been meeting to formulate a plan since September and will present its ideas to the Scott County Board of Supervisors on April 19. If the plan is approved, the county’s secondary roads department and conservation board could work together to implement it.

Currently, many of the road-

Baske ster ts a E

sides are planted with non-native species of grass. Deep-rooted native vegetation is preferred instead because it reduces herbicide use, promotes pollinators, provides habitat for a variety of creatures and improves water quality by helping to infiltrate water into the ground.

The first step in the plan’s process would be to apply for an Iowa Living Roadway Trust Fund grant to conduct an inventory of what currently grows in the ditches of the bordering county’s roads.

County engineer Jon Burg-

strum said the proposal doesn’t have an estimated cost yet. The cost of the equipment will be largely covered with anticipated grant money and by sharing with Clinton County, at least in the short term.

“One of the things we’re trying to impress on the board is we’re really not trying to spend more money,” Burgstrum said.

Tony Singh, an executive with the Singh Group/Merrill Lynch in Davenport, said he’s trying to come up with a commitment of private funding of $5,000 to $15,000 annually for three years.

You can do that on TV

Babbling Brooks Jason W. Brooks I was surprised, at first, to learn that McGlade not only ended up choosing a career outside of show business, but also distanced herself from the TV series. Not only did she and her husband begin raising the first of their three children, she also has done very little acting since she left YCDTOTV in 1986, making her a symbol of a more simplistic era that has long-since ended.

However, when I thought about how little effort seems to go into modern sitcoms and how easily anyone with a digital camera can record a comedy sketch now, I see what work entertainment used to be, how many post-production people were involved, and why it was even a bigger risk to attempt TV success in those days. It must have been very draining.

McGlade’s character, “Moose,” was one of the main personalities on the show, which many Americans know

T

he name Christine McGlade might not sound familiar, but if you ever watched Nickelodeon’s “You Can’t Do That on Television,” you know who she is.

Week after week, the antics of the cast kept us all captivated as we flipped between Nickelodeon and MTV. Not knowing at the time it was a Canadian show that had finished its production run years earlier, we looked forward to seeing Christine or another cast member get slimed, or hearing the character Barf utter his patented phrase “What do you think’s in the burgers?”

“You Can’t Do That on Television,” or YCDTOTV, was a weekly Saturday-morning variety comedy sketch show filmed between 1979 and 1990 for an Ottawa TV station, designed and marketed toward an American audience.

from its run on Nickelodeon — the last several years being all reruns. The jokes, lines and gags on the show, especially the patented green slime, were fairly basic, but it was “good clean fun” made simple.

The TV career of McGlade, 52, represents a unique point in time, when cable TV was linking regions, nations and consumer choices and creativity still ruled the day. Who would have thought a show with teenagers enduring buckets of green slime being dumped on their heads would be an international ratings bonanza? Apparently, some visionary entertainment executive had this same question.

Sure, McGlade was a star partly because she is attractive, but not everyone can handle the pressure of something like taping a weekly TV show and improving it. There is a real difference in both the writing and the scene execution between the first couple of years and the 1984 and 1985 seasons, and the show looked much smoother and is funnier as the years went by.

The splat logo of Nickelodeon is largely associated with the sliming of YCD-

TOTV. It’s one of the shows that really helped grow the network, even though it wasn’t even one of the network’s own products. The package of “Nick at Nite” syndicated classics and McGlade’s show helped keep the network growing during the cable-tedious 1980s.

It wasn’t until “The Ren & Stimpy Show,” “Hey Arnold,” “Clarissa Explains It All” and “SpongeBob SquarePants” became hits in the 1990s that Nickelodeon had something closer to homegrown, inhouse blockbuster hits.

There’s not even a mention of the show on Nickelodeon’s Wikipedia page.

However, McGlade and the cast and crew of YCDTOTV know their hard work and natural comedy ability helped pave the way for Nickelodeon to become the cliché of children’s TV networks.

McGlade and many other cable TV stars from the early days probably wouldn’t stick around long if they returned to the business. It’s not that their work ethic isn’t high enough; it’s that they might get frustrated with how easily produced a TV product looks today.

State View Sen. Amy Sinclair

Coupling passes unanimously in Senate The coupling bill was passed out of the Senate 50-0 on Tuesday after an agreement was announced last week between House and Senate leaders. The passage of this bill will save $97 million for our small businesses, rural communities and teachers.

This is money Iowans can put into their pockets and reinvest in our state and community.

I have heard resounding support from District 14 and advocated to my colleagues across the aisle to support consistent public policy. Since 2011, the State of Iowa has coupled our tax code with the federal regulations. Our consistent commitment to create a better climate for small business in Iowa was threatened this year because of an irresponsible desire by all parties to spend too much money.

I am glad Senator Hogg and the rest of the Senate Democrats realized not coupling would have been devastating for Iowa’s small businesses, farmers and families.

Suppressor Bill comes to the Floor Another bill that came to the floor this week was a bill legalizing the ownership of firearm suppressors in Iowa. Anyone wanting to purchase suppressor would still have to comply with federal law, which requires a person to be a resident of the U.S., legally eligible to purchase a firearm, pass a background check through the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco,Firearms, and Explosives (ATFE), pay a one-time $200 transfer tax per suppressor, live in a state that authorizes suppressors, and be at least21.

The bill, if signed by the governor, removes suppressors from the list of offensive weapons and establishes a process for purchase of a suppressor including application to the chief law enforcement officer where the person resides. The officer has 30 days to issue certification if the applicant meets all the above conditions.

This week I met with horse breeders to hear issues in their sector of agriculture. Agriculture is a central pillar of the Iowa economy, and protecting it is one of my primary goals in the Senate.

Breckenridge has desire to help others I would like to share my views of one of the candidates running for House of Representatives for District 29. I have known Wes Breckenridge for 20-plus years. In all of that time, Wes has shown nothing but honesty, integrity and a desire to help others. He has always put the needs and care of others ahead of himself in a truly selfless way. This can be seen every day as he volunteers in the community either through coaching youth activities, teaching classes at DMACC to our young adults and attending numerous events and activities outside of his daily work schedule like the human trafficking committee and working with the Jasper County Democrats Central Committee. He is as unselfish as they can be.

Wes Breckenridge has been successful in every endeavor he has tackled. If you could only see how hard this guy works for the Newton Police Department and all of the citizens in our city

Kelley asset to DMACC veterans During the 12 and a half years I spent as Veterans Services Coordinator for Des Moines Area Community College, there were many times I had to refer my veteran students to their local representatives for help because the problems were frequently state-related. Several of those vets were Newton DMACC students, and so I had them call Rep. Dan Kelley. Without exception they came back to me with positive comments regarding his assistance in providing resources and pertinent information that helped them resolve VA prob-

and county, you would have no doubt that he should be elected to represent the citizens in District 29 as our Democratic nominee. His experiences at the Newton Police Department has qualified him as an excellent leader, not to mention the expertise and knowledge he has gained that will help him enact important legislation with regards to drug problems in our society and the issues that our kids encounter in school every day.

He will put that knowledge to work for each and everyone within our district and we will all be the better for it.

Wes will attack each problem, legislation and bill that he encounters in the House with the same caring and intellectual process that he uses every day when he protects the citizens in our city and county.

When you get to know Wes Breckenridge, you will have no doubt in your mind that he is the only candidate to vote for to represent the Democrats for House District 29.

lems, especially when it came to accessing their education benefits.

Recently, Kelley was criticized in this paper for voting against an Iowa Veterans Trust Fund bill. The criticism apparently was based on the fact Kelley filed the bill knowing full well that it would not see the light of day. Go to the Iowa House of Representatives website and read the list of bill titles there. You will find well on to 100 bills. Are we really supposed to believe the sponsors of each of those bills were absolutely certain their bill would pass that session? Does every bill introduced to the House become a law every year? I don’t think so.

Also note that many times

Time for a change in House District 29 I just wanted to take a minute ask you to support for Wes Breckenridge in the upcoming June 7 primary for Iowa House District 29.

As a Correctional Officer for the last 20 years at Newton Correctional Facility, I have become progressively dissatisfied with the incumbent in Iowa House District 29, Dan Kelley. So when I heard he had a primary challenger, I contacted Wes Breckenridge and asked him to come out to tour the prison. He did and he listened to our issues, specifically staffing and safety.

I followed up on the tour with a request that he come to one of our union membership meetings (AFSCME Local 0451) to speak to our members about his views regarding the state prisons and unions, and have the membership ask him questions, which he did.

members of the House vote against bills because there are elements in the bill that they disagree with and the only way to express that disagreement is to vote no.

Finally, I am discouraged to see our local government officers or candidates for office going the way of our national government officers and engage in trash talk about their opponents in yet another election cycle. No offense to the Daily News, but stop believing everything you read on the opinion page of the paper and do your own research before deciding who to vote for.

Most recently, on his own accord Wes showed up at an AFSCME rally in Des Moines related to staffing and safety issues in the state prisons.

Prison staffing and safety is something the incumbent has not shown any interest in, in his six years in office, regardless of any radio commercials you may have heard recently saying differently.

In addition, Wes’s views regarding the need for education funding, the state’s mental health crisis and human trafficking show me the leadership that he would bring as a state representative.

I support those who support me, that plus the other important issues I mentioned above made my decision easy. It’s Wes Breckenridge in Iowa House District 29 for me on June 7, and I encourage others to support him also. Do like I did — contact him and you’ll see why you should support him.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Mom’s body piercings are becoming targets of ridicule DEAR ABBY: My sister and I have no interest in body piercing (except our ears), but we have seen it on friends and are not impressed.

However, our 44-year-old mom got her nipples pierced and has started wearing jewelry there!

Our parents are divorced and she’s not in a relationship right now, so it’s not to impress a man. She says she did it to feel good about herself, which makes no sense to us. She takes off her top to show her female friends when they come over, and we can see them literally roll their eyes, but she doesn’t seem to notice.

She has now started showing off her piercings to OUR friends. I’m talking about girlfriends, but even so, we find this beyond embarrassing. They’re polite to her face but laugh behind her back, and word about it has spread, which we find humiliating. I suppose we should be thankful that at least she hasn’t pierced her most personal place to show off to our friends like we’ve seen some girls do.

We think some kind of midlife crisis or hormonal imbalance is causing her to act this way, but we wish she’d find a better outlet. If she wants to make a fool of herself in front of her friends, that’s one thing. But we don’t think she has the right to embarrass us in front of our friends! What can we do? — EMBARRASSED IN THE WEST DEAR EMBARRASSED: I agree that what your mother has been doing is inappropriate. That she has done it among her friends is one thing, but for her to disrobe to show your friends her nipple piercings is wrong. She may do this because she wants to prove to them (or herself ) that she’s still young and “with-it.” If that’s the case, it’s pathetic.

If you haven’t told her that when she flashes your friends it’s embarrassing and you want her to stop, you should. If she realizes she’s making herself a laughingstock, she may stop. However, if she doesn’t, then you and your sister will have to accept that you can’t change her, and realize that what she’s doing is no reflection on the two of you.

DEAR ABBY: I am a “catfisher.” I use a fake Facebook account with pictures of an attractive woman to attract men. I specifically target married or committed men. I talk to and flirt with them online to see how far they’ll go. They often ask me for more pictures and invite me to meet somewhere for sex. I never give real information or meet any of them.

My question is, should I let the women these men are involved with know that their men are unfaithful or keep it to myself? — KARMA IN GEORGIA DEAR KARMA: How can you be concerned for the wives and girlfriends when YOU are the person providing the temptation? I think you would be better served if you worked on your own problem before you try to resolve the issues of people you have never met and never will.

Iowa group says time running out on medical marijuana bill

Defense claims proof of misconduct in kosher executive case

DES MOINES (AP) — Supporters of legislation that would expand access to medical marijuana in Iowa say lawmakers are running out of time this session to pass the bill.

IOWA CITY (AP) — Attorneys for imprisoned kosher meatpacking executive Sholom Rubashkin say they have found “overwhelming evidence” of prosecutorial misconduct that proves his 27-year prison sentence for money laundering is too harsh.

Rubashkin’s attorneys filed newly obtained notes from a key meeting of government officials and legal affidavits Monday alleging prosecutors improperly interfered with the sale of Agriprocessors in Postville, Iowa, which was the nation’s biggest kosher meat plant. Representatives of the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Cedar Rapids threatened potential buyers that they would use forfeiture proceedings to seize the company’s assets if Rubashkin’s father, Aaron, or other relatives had a role operating the plant, several bidders said in affidavits.

Those threats depressed the sale price by millions because Aaron Rubashkin and other relatives were considered key figures in the kosher meat industry whose expertise was needed to operate the company, bidders said.

port of a marijuana bill introduced earlier this session. They called out leaders in the Republican-controlled House, which currently has control of the measure.

Organizers say time is running out to take action on the bill, which would create a system for manufacturing, dispensing and possess-

ing medical marijuana in Iowa. It is expected to require legislative committee approval and chamber votes before Gov. Terry Branstad would review it.

A spokesman for House Republicans declined to comment on the rally, and said the bill is moving through the legislative process.

Senate OKs bill over firearms on snowmobiles, ATVs DES MOINES (AP) — The Democratic-controlled Senate has passed a bill that would allow a person to carry a loaded firearm while operating or riding a snowmobile or all-terrain vehicle.

The Senate voted

43-4 Tuesday for the legislation, which would allow such a person to carry a loaded firearm whether it’s concealed or not. The Senate added additional language that would create rules for gun owners who are

on their private land and those who are not on such property.

The Republican-majority House passed the bill 78-20 in February.

The changes in the Senate mean it will be sent back to the House be-

fore it can reach Gov. Terry Branstad.

The legislation is one of several gun bills this session. A bill that would legalize gun suppressors got final approval Tuesday in the House.

Keep Iowa Beautiful announces scholarships recipients Newton Daily Newton Emily Hugen, of Monroe, was one of the recipients of the 2016 Keep Iowa Beautiful Byers Environmental Scholarships. She plans to attend Iowa State University.

Each student will receive $1,000 to use toward college expenses in environmental studies. Students were selected based upon their academic achievement and community service.

Awards will be presented by Gov. Terry Branstad at 1:30 p.m. March 31 at the State Capitol.

“It is critical that we encourage and support the youth of our State to better understand and to provide a long-term

commitment to our environment, the beauty of our natural resources and countryside, and their importance in our lives in building pride and respect,” said Gerry Schnepf, KIB Executive Director.

In 2007, family and friends of Robert (Bob) Byers established a scholarship fund in his memory through KIB, a nonprofit organization committed to preventing litter and promoting community enhancement across the state.

Through Bob’s leadership, KIB’s “Litter-Free School Campus” program was initiated in northwest Iowa in 2003.

“My dad recognized from the beginning that Keep Iowa Beautiful serves as a key resource for educating youth

on the importance of respect for their community and our environment,” said Jay Byers, son of Bob Byers.

KIB strives to serve as an exemplary resource for educating youth on the importance of environmental stewardship and community betterment.

Other 2016 receipients include Theresa Brehm, of Durango, attending Iowa State University; Sage Hassel, of Johnston, attending the University of Iowa; Carissa Moyna, of Elkader, attending Iowa State University; and Rebecca Roberson, of Akron, attending Iowa State University.

With this year’s awards, KIB has made awards to 40 students totaling nearly $30,000.

Iowa DNR offers Spring turkey hunting safety tips Newton Daily News An estimated 50,000 hunters will be in the timber this spring pursuing the illusive wild turkey and while the woods will not be crawling with hunters, there is a chance for an occasional encounter.

Hunters should practice defensive hunting techniques.

Hunters should make a loud statement like “hey, hunter over here,” if they see someone coming into the same area.

One loud noise shouldn’t scare a bird too much because loud noises happen in the woods.

However, don’t make motion or throw something to get the other hunters attention.

“Turkey hunters are looking for movement,” said Jim Coffey, forest wildlife species technician for the Iowa Department of Natural Resourc-

es. “Don’t wave your hand or make a movement because a movement could be misconstrued.

“If you walk in on someone ,they’re probably hearing the same bird you hear. Just turn and walk away. Find a different ridge to enjoy the morn-

ing.”

The timber will change a lot from early April to middle May reducing the distance hunters can see so it will be important that hunters continuously check their distance for their zone of fire.

“You can’t call the bullet

back once your pull the trigger so it’s important to know your target and what’s beyond before taking the shot,” Coffey said. He often recommends setting out distance stick for reference points. This allows hunters to know exactly how far away a bird is and if it’s within the weapons range.

Hunters should also respect other hunters.

“They are out there trying to do what you are going to do.

The competition is between turkey and hunter – not hunter and hunter,” Coffey said.

One way to avoid walking in on other hunters is to go later in the morning.

“Rather than try to get out in the woods for the first gobble, go out a little later, like around 9 a.m. You may have the area all to yourself,” he said.

Safety Tips • Avoid wearing patriotic colors – red, white and blue.

These colors are also shared by gobblers.

• Bring a blaze orange game bag or turkey vest to use to carry the harvested bird out from the woods.

• Avoid using a gobble call.

• Using a hunting blind can be helpful if taking a young person on their first hunt, or for hunting companions to use.

Stocks decline broadly in early trading in US The Associated Press Stocks are opening broadly lower, led by declines in mining companies as prices for metals and other commodities weaken.

Several companies were also moving lower Wednesday after reporting disappointing results or outlooks.

Nike, one of the 30 stocks in the Dow Jones industrial average, sank 5 percent after reporting revenue that fell far short of what analysts were looking for.

Software maker Red Hat gave up 3 percent after delivering disappointing forecasts.

The Dow average gave up 34 points, or 0.2 percent, to 17,550 as of 9:35 a.m. Eastern time.

Radiohead, Red Hot Chili Peppers to headline Lollapalooza CHICAGO (AP) — Radiohead, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and LCD Soundsystem are among the acts that will play in Chicago for the 25th anniversary of the Lollapalooza music festival.

The lineup was released early Wednesday on Lollapalooza’s website. It also includes Lana Del Rey, Ellie Goulding and Lollapalooza founder Perry Farrell’s band Jane’s Addiction.

The festival will start Thursday, July 28, and run through Sunday, July 31. Organizers added a fourth day this year to mark the anniversary.

There will be more than 170 musical performances.

Farrell started Lollapalooza in 1991, which was a tour until 1997. It was on hiatus from 1998 to 2003, and the 2004 event was canceled because of poor ticket sales. In 2005, it found a home in Chicago’s Grant Park.

American Muslims decry Cruz community surveillance comments DEARBORN, Mich. (AP) — Some American Muslims feel they are once again on the defensive following presidential candidate Ted Cruz’s suggestion that Muslim-dominated neighborhoods should be subject to increased surveillance in the wake of the deadly attacks in Brussels claimed by the Islamic State militant group.

“We’re targeted even if it’s not our fault,” said Omar Ghanim, 23, eating Lebanese pizza Tuesday at a suburban strip mall in Orange County’s Little Arabia neighborhood, just miles from Disneyland in California.

Ghanim said Islamic State doesn’t represent his faith.

“They don’t follow the Islamic rules or anything Islam,” he said.

“We’re a peaceful people — we’re not violent.”

Cruz said Tuesday that law enforcement should be empowered to “patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized.” Echoing earlier statements from rival Donald Trump, Cruz also said the U.S. should stop the flow of refugees from countries where the Islamic State militant group has a significant presence.

IS claimed responsibility for the attacks at the Brussels airport and a subway station that killed dozens Tuesday and wounded many more.

Muslims across the country and groups including the Council on American-Islamic Relations and the Anti-Defamation League condemned Cruz’s statements, but many said his reaction was nothing new. Advocacy groups have said for months that the Islamic extremist attacks in Paris and San Bernardino and the intensifying rhetoric in the presidential campaign have ratcheted up animosity against American Muslims.

“We believe we are part of the society. We have the same ideology as mainstream Americans,” said Osman Ahmed, a resident of

AP Photo Ahmad Tarek Rashid Alam, publisher of the Arabic-language weekly community newspaper The Arab World, drinks tea at Forn Al Hara restaurant in in Anaheim, Calif., on Tuesday. He comments on remarks made by GOP presidential candidate Sen. Ted Cruz about Muslim Americans. Cruz said Tuesday that surveillance in Muslim neighborhoods in the U.S. must be intensified following the deadly bombings at Brussels.

a Somali neighborhood in Minneapolis. “I don’t think the ideology of surveillance of a Muslim community neighborhood is the right thing to do. That will send a message that Muslim Americans are not a part of American society ... and that’s the message that terrorism groups are willing to hear.”

Trump, who has proposed a temporary ban on foreign Muslims entering the U.S, praised Cruz’s plan as a “good idea” that he supports “100 percent” in an interview with CNN. The Republican front-runner also intensified his past calls for the U.S. to engage in harsher interrogation techniques, arguing that Belgium could have prevented the bombings had it tortured a suspect in last year’s Paris attacks who was arrested last week.

Speaking Tuesday afternoon in New York, Cruz praised the city’s police department’s former program of conducting surveillance in Muslim neighborhoods, called for its reinstatement and said it could

be a model for police departments nationwide.

“New Yorkers want a safe and secure America,” Cruz said. “New Yorkers saw firsthand the tragic consequences of radical Islamic terrorism.”

After the 9/11 attacks, the New York Police Department used its intelligence division to cultivate informants and conduct surveillance in Muslim communities. In a series of articles, The Associated Press revealed the intelligence division had infiltrated dozens of mosques and Muslim student groups and investigated hundreds.

The program was disbanded amid complaints of religious and racial profiling.

The Council on American-Islamic Relations, the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, condemned the call for surveillance, saying it sends “an alarming message to American-Muslims who increasingly fear for their future in this nation.”

Lynnville-Sully athletes ready for spring sports

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Eight state track meet qualifiers are among the combined 57 athletes on the 2016 editions of the Lynnville-Sully track teams. The Hawk girls have three of the four runners returning from three state medal winning relays while the Hawk boys return a state medalist in the 100-meter dash.

Lynnville-Sully’s golf teams are under a new coach, Justin Hagedorn, in 2016. The Hawks will have both a boys’ and a girls’ team this season.

There was no girls team a year ago.

Lynnville-Sully’s track teams just competed in their one and only indoor meet — the South Iowa Cedar League conference meet — Monday at Grinnell. The Hawk track athletes open the 2016 outdoor season Tuesday with the girls going to Belle Plaine and the boys are at Pella Christian.

The annual Lynnville-Sully Invitational, which is coed, is April 5 at Sully.

The Hawk girls’ golf team swings into action March 31 at a meet hosted

by Pella at Pella Country Club. Both Lynnville-Sully’s girls and boys play in a golf meet April 4 at North Mahaska.

Girls Track Senior Kasiah Ehresman and juniors Makenzy Rozendaal and Brenna Lanser help set two school records in the 4x200-meter relay and sprint medley relay at the 2015 state Class 1A track meet. Senior Marissa Vos qualified for the state meet in the 3,000-meter run. Sophomore Mariah Vos and Ehresman competed in the 4x800-meter relay at the state meet a year ago.

Lynnville-Sully has 15 returning athletes from its 2015 SICL Conference championship team and Class 1A qualifying meet championship.

The Hawk girls had SICL relay championships in 4x100, 4x200 and 4x800 and Marissa Vos is the defending SICL champion in the 3,000 meters.

“Experience is certainly one of our strengths. We have six freshman and three other newcomers with strong abilities and experience to step in where needed,” Lynnville-Sully girls’ head coach Darin Arkema said. “We have a good mix of abilities between sprinting, middle distance, distance and hurdling events, so filling all the events on the track and being competitive there.”

The 4x200 relay finished third at the 1A state meet while the 4x100 placed

fifth and the sprint medley relay was eighth. Lynnville-Sully’s 4x800 finished 15th at the state meet. Marissa Vos was 23rd in the 1A 3,000 meters.

Arkema, who enters his ninth season guiding the Hawk girls’ track program, said the Hawks lost almost all of their participants and point scorers in the field events from last year. He said field events were such a strong area last year, so the hunt is on for people to get involved in those events and get production from them.

Other members of the Lynnville-Sully girls’ track team are senior Shelby Foster, juniors Haley James, Alexis Hardenbrook, Ida Byggeth and Julie Ranch-Holm and sophomores Camyrn Russell, Jataya Meyer, Haley Breeden and Madison Johnson. Freshmen on the team are Shiloh Cunningham, Carson Fisk, Emily Van Gorp, Kaylee Maasdam, Makayla Rozendaal and Shaleah Van Wyk. Arkema’s assistant coach is Jill Schuring.

Boys Track Eight upperclassmen lead Lynnville-Sully’s boys into the 2016 track season. Seniors Sage Ehresman, Noah Engle, Ross Van Wyk and Canyon Kuhlmann and juniors Colten Arment, Caden Dunsbergen, Ryan Hofer and Luke Jones are back for the Hawks.

Texas Western’s championship looks different 50 years later

By Jim O’Connell AP Basketball Writer

UTEP Photo Texas Western (now University of Texas-El Paso) won the 1966 NCAA Men’s Tournament Championship, going 28-1 and beating top-ranked Kentucky, 72-65, in the title game.

Head coach Don Haskins started five of the seven black players on the Miners’ roster in the championship game. Members of the team were, left to right, front row, Bobby Joe Hill, Orsten Artis, Togo Railey and Willie Worsley; middle row, David Palacio, Dick Myers, Harry Flournoy and Louis Baudoin; back row, Nevil Shed, Jerry Armstrong, Willie Cager, David Lattin and head coach Don Haskins.

The names aren’t remembered individually but what they did as a team is etched in the minds of America, not just American sports.

Fifty years ago, Texas Western started five blacks — Willie Worsley, Orsten Artis, Bobby Joe Hill, David “Big Daddy” Lattin and Harry Flournoy — against Kentucky in the NCAA championship game on March 19, 1966 at Cole Field House in College Park, Maryland.

It was a group recruited from all over the country by coach Don Haskins, and they were five of the seven African-Americans on the roster.

Today, after reading historical recaps and watching movies, people tend to think it was an immediate watershed moment in sports and civil rights. It wasn’t. At the time it was a monumental 72-65 upset of a Wildcats team that featured a backcourt of Pat Riley and Louie Dampier — even if the Miners did finish with a record of 28-1.

John Thompson Jr., who went on to become the first African-American to coach an NCAA champion at Georgetown in 1984, was a recent college graduate when Texas Western won that day, not far from where he grew up in Washington D.C. “I think it was great.

I don’t think people thought of it the way it is now,” he said. “Everybody in the neighborhood was well aware of what was going on, believe me we were aware.

I remember being at the Boys Club to play ball the next day and what we were talking about was Big Daddy Lattin dunking. We were conscious of it but the way they talk about it now and the way it is portrayed now and that was the way it was. It was absolutely not.”

Time has the ability to keep the facts straight while changing certain things to the way we want them to be.

Texas Western wasn’t the first college basketball team with African-American players and it wasn’t the first to have success

with them. The great San Francisco teams of the 1950s had Bill Russell and K.C. Jones on the roster and the Dons not only won a title, they repeated in 1956.

Just three years before Texas Western — now known as Texas-El Paso — won its championship, Loyola of Chicago won the title and the Ramblers started three blacks. The next year UCLA and coach John Wooden burst onto the national scene with its first title and the Bruins had three blacks as key players.

Part of the reason Texas Western has become the team recognized as the one that changed the way black players were looked at in college basketball is because the opponent was Kentucky and the fabled “Rupp’s Runts” of coach Adolph Rupp. Kentucky was a team from the South where Rupp and many others weren’t known for tolerant racial acceptance policies of the time.

Lynnville-Sully Continued from Page 1B Ehresman, Engle and Dunsbergen return from the state-meet qualifying 4x100-meter relay team.

Ehresman captured a 1A state medal — fifth — in the 100-meter dash and qualified for the 1A state shot put event.

“The season is young and so is our team,” Lynnville-Sully boys’ head coach Mike Parkinson said. “We bring a lot of experience back from last season, and expect our older, more experienced athletes to help guide our young runners, jumpers and throwers.”

Ehresman won the South Iowa Cedar League championships in discus and shot put. Engle was third in the discus as the boys finished third in the SICL team race.

Van Wyk is among the top sprinters back.

Engle, Arment, Dunsbergen and Hofer are main components in the Hawks’ shuttle hurdle relay. Arment and Hofer are the top 110-meter high hurdles back. Kuhlmann was a state qualifier in cross country and leads the distance runners as he competes in the 3,200-meter run. Jones ran on the boys’ cross country team and is back in the 800 meters.

“We’ve set high expectations and our guys under-

stand them. They are working hard on the track and in the weight room,” Parkinson said.

“The indoor conference meet and the two early outdoor meets will give us something to measure our progress.”

The Hawks also return six sophomore lettermen from a year ago in Elijah Collins, Carson Dunsbergen, Cody Gibbs, Corey McCoy, Sage Zylstra and Cayden Johnson.

Lynnville-Sully has 33 boys on the roster with six more returning athletes in junior Isaac Collins, Trevor Squires and sophomores Drake Ehresman, Kemper Lukehart, Aaron Van De Krol and Jesse Van Wyk. Newcomers to the boys’ team are senior Kyle Kramer and juniors Bryson Barnett and Max Knapp. Kramer and Barnett will help in the dis-

Cyclones streak to Sweet 16 AMES (AP) — For years, nothing seemed to break in Iowa State’s favor during the NCAA Tournament.

This might finally be the March for the Cyclones.

Iowa State (23-11) is back in the Sweet 16 for the second time in three years, and this time the Cyclones are healthy and rolling heading into Friday’s game against Prohm top-seeded Virginia in Chicago. If it can upset the Cavaliers, Iowa State will face either Syracuse or Gonzaga, both double-digit seeds, for a trip to the Final Four.

“I feel great for the kids because it’s about them,” first-year coach Steve Prohm said. “I believe we have more in us.”

Iowa State’s five straight NCAA Tournament appearances represent the best such streak in school history. But until this season, the Cyclones never seemed to find any luck.

In 2012, Iowa State ran into eventual national champions Kentucky in the second round and got blown out. Three years ago, the Cyclones were poised for an upset of second-seeded Ohio State in the round of 32 before a few calls and an Aaron Craft 3-pointer sent them home with a 78-75 loss.

Star Georges Niang broke his foot in the opening game in 2014, and the season ended in the Sweet 16 with a loss to Connecticut, another eventual national champion. Last year, Iowa State was upset by 14th-seeded UAB. But everything has gone right for the Cyclones so far.

Iowa State was matched against a team

that runs a similar up-tempo offense in the opening round. Iona, a 13 seed, couldn’t keep up and fell 94-81. The Cyclones then caught a break when Arkansas-Little Rock upset Purdue, whose big men would have presented a massive challenge for Iowa State’s smallish frontcourt. Iowa State throttled the Trojans, 78-61.

The Cyclones offense rolled through the first weekend behind Niang, averaging 86 points while shooting at least 50 percent in each game.

“We’re just moving the ball really well.

We’re making the extra pass. We’re going through Georges. He’s been out there really killing them,” forward Matt Thomas said.

Iowa State might have also helped itself by bowing out the Big 12 Tournament early.

The Cyclones fell to Oklahoma in its first game, partly because standout point guard Monte Morris was still dealing with a strained shoulder injury he sustained in a loss at Kansas. But the few extra days of rest seemed to help Morris get healthy again, as he scored 20 points with eight assists and three steals in the win over Iona.

“I was in a lot of pain,” he said. “It’s definitely not 100 percent, but it’s definitely getting back to that way. I was just happy I was out there. I was smiling, I’ve got my legs back under me, so I feel like it was a good time for me to back.”

Iowa State will be an underdog to Virginia, which was ranked No. 4 in the final poll. But Iowa State has already beaten three top-five teams this season, and a fourth win would put the Cyclones within one game of the Final Four.

“We have more to play for than just playing in the Sweet 16,” center Jameel McKay said.

Texas Western

day in 1966.

It was Haskins’ most successful season in the 38 years he spent at the school. A gruff man known as “The Bear,” Haskins died in 2008 at the age of 78.

“I wasn’t out to be a pioneer when we played Kentucky,” Haskins, who was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1997 with a career record of 719-354, had said. “I was simply playing the best players on the team, and they happened to be black.”

A simple answer to a very complex time in the United States. The Civil Rights movement was going on and that basketball game played a part in making the movement a reality — even if it wasn’t recognized that way immediately.

“It’s like most things in life,” Thompson said, “as time goes on it gets more significant and I think it should be because people feel freer to tell the truth. It wasn’t that everybody was a racist. Society accepted it and anybody who thought it was wrong, black or white, was afraid to stand up because they would be ostracized from society because that was accepted then.

“When I listen to people now I think that the first time a black man walked on the court that everything was fair. It wasn’t, but it led to breaking down some of that.”

Continued from Page 1B “I think it was the difference between integrating with one person,” Thompson said. “It didn’t eliminate quotas. People were still discriminated against, a lot of people were still discriminated against, but that was a start and that’s the way I look at what they did. Every little bit helps.

But it was a bite out of an elephant.

“It’s portrayed now like all of a sudden white folks got religion because Texas Western won or we won the championship or Jackie Robinson integrated baseball, but that’s not true at all. Any African-American athlete will tell you it was how many blacks would you take? It wasn’t just the fact you were integrated. You were still under pressure for a lot of things. What they did was very significant. But it was a step.”

But people at the time didn’t look at it as a very big step. The bigger news in most college basketball circles the next day was about the NIT championship game between Brigham Young and NYU. After 50 years of retelling, and with the aid of the 2006 movie “Glory Road,” people now have a different way of looking at that

tance races while Knapp is expected to provide depth in the sprint events.

The Hawks are young in the field events. Carson Dunsbergen and Johnson, both sophomores, are the leading jumpers back.

Collins, Squires and Van De Krol will compete in the throwing events. The throws and high jump events are coached by assistant Jeff Corbett.

Freshmen on the team are Jason Craver, Mason Dunsbergen, Rylan James, Eyon Moore, Nick Rea, Evan Squires, Nate Stock, Gage Vander Leest, Tyson Vander Linden and Grant Wehrle.

“We look forward to another great spring to go out and compete. The SICL Conference is one of the best around, and the level of competitiveness at our conference meets is rarely rivaled at district track meets,” Parkinson said.

“We expect to be challenged at every meet, which will help us continue to improve.”

Golf Junior Kaylee Van Maanen is the lone returning letter winner for Lynnville-Sully’s girls golf team. Van Maanen was one of two girl golfers for the Hawks in 2014, but there was no team in 2015.

Under first-year head coach Justin Hagedorn, Van Maanen is joined by seven others on the Lynnville-Sully’s girls team. Hagedorn said he

Van Dyke

C. Jansen

is looking forward to having the girls team back in action after not having enough for a team last year.

Juniors Mikayla Smith, C h r i s t i n e K. Van Maanen Jaennette and Ida Byggeth, sophomore Rebecca Morningstar and freshmen Tessa Van Maanen, Kayla Van Dyke and Maddeline Mintle comprise the 2016 Hawk girls golf team.

“On the girls side, a strength we have is our attitude,” Hagedorn said. “Since many of our golfers are out for their first season of golf, they have a very positive attitude which is a lot of fun to be around. Our weakness is the lack of experience.”

Seniors Caleb Jansen and Kyle Van Dyke lead the Lynnville-Sully boys into 2016.

They along with sophomore

Holden Jansen are the returning golfers from a year ago. Three freshmen — Dane Fuchs, Abram Collins and Cade Dibello — join the team.

“I expect Holden to slide into a more prominent role this year and score regularly for the team,” Hagedorn said.

“We have strong senior leadership. Our two seniors will gel guide our young group of players into becoming better golfers and better citizens.”

Hagedorn said it is always hard to predict the season beforehand, but the Lynnville-Sully golfers are going to work hard, have fun and hopefully improve as golfers.

He said this season will be a success if his student-athletes develop as people and players.

The Hawk boys finished third at the South Iowa Cedar League conference meet last year.

“The league looks to be competitive this year without a team that stands out,” he said. “I always say golf is a game where the course, the weather and the day determine who shoots the best. I expect the conference to be no different.”

Lynnville-Sully has three coed meets on its home golf course — Lynnville’s Diamond Trail Golf Course.
