Area students, others Farmers’ Market traveling near Brussels approved for second year downtown

Relatives concerned after terror attack news spread

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When news of bomb explosions in Belgium quickly spread around the world Tuesday morning, at least a handful of Jasper County residents were immediately concerned about traveling relatives.

College students and others traveling in Europe ended up being close enough to Belgium at the time of Tuesday’s attacks to draw concerns — if not the extreme fear — from relatives at home.

However, it appears none of those who have strong Jasper County connections were in the directly impacted part of Brussels.

Jason and Melissa Van Zante of Sully and their children, Megan and Tyler, have been to Europe before and happened to be in Brussels this week. Jason’s mother, Marlis, said the four of them left the Aparthotel Adagio Brussels Centre Monnaie on a bus to take a tour of the city at about 7:45 a.m. local time — about 15 minutes before the bombings occurred.

Without wireless Internet access during the tour, it wasn’t until much later in the day the Van Zantes discovered their North American family members were concerned for their welfare.

Submitted Photo The Van Zante family of Sully — Megan and Jason Van Zante and their children, Megan and Tyler — were in Brussels, Belgium when Tuesday morning’s train station and airport bomb attacks occurred. Jason’s mother, Marlis, said she finally was able to reach her son by phone Tuesday afternoon as families with Jasper County connections tried to contact family members who were traveling in that part of Europe.

“We had no way to get ahold of them,” Marlis Van Zante said.

“Finally, when they could get online, Megan checked her SnapChat messages, and I talked to her through that, and she told us everyone was OK.” Van Zante said she finally talked to Jason later in the day. The family heard an announcement about the explosions, but the bus tour had gone ahead as scheduled, traveling to some nearby cities.

The Maelbeek subway station is close to the family’s hotel. Marlis was concerned they had taken the subway

on their tour.

“They were oblivious to all of us being upset, watching TV and wondering how they were doing,” Marlis said.

“The embassy was very responsive, and told us they’d start a search to locate them, but we called and notified the embassy once we heard from Megan. The Lord held him in the palm of his hand and took care of them.”

The Van Zantes are scheduled to head to Paris on Thursday.

ham, England, and his travels have taken him fairly close to Brussels; he is on vacation now in Rome.

“I have tried to avoid Belgium since the Paris attacks,” he said. “I did ride on a train from Calais to Amsterdam that went through Belgium but was advised not to travel near, or stay in, Brussels.”

Kora Scotton is also a member of Newton High School’s Class of 2013 and was one of its valedictorians. She was able to visit with Hopkins in Europe earlier this semester.

The proposed law, which would allow cannabis products to be allowed to treat certain conditions, is stalled in the House Ways and Means Committee. Miller, whose wife, Debbie, has Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, was joined by other speakers, such as Rep. Jim Forbes (D-Polk County), a longtime pharmacist who advocated for the legalization of cannabis. A Republican, Rep. Peter Cowne, authored the bill.

For the second consecutive year, downtown Newton will host the Newton Farmers’ Market.

The Jasper County Board of Supervisors approved the market for the north and west side of the courthouse square lawn on these days from June 7 to Sept. 20.

“We had a great experience last year using the courthouse lawn. I think the market benefited from the visibility,” Newton Main Street Executive Director Andrew Bassman said.

The only significant change to Bassman the market this year is the start time, which will be moved back by 30 minutes from its previous start time of 4 p.m. to run from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Bassman said the change was made to better align with the courthouse hours and to accommodate residents who commute or work until later in the day.

“The Courthouse space served the market well last season. Last year, we grew to 13 full-time and nine part-time vendors. We hope to retain these vendors and continue to expand, making the market a true community event,” Bassman said.

FDA adds boldest warning to most widely used painkillers WA S H I N G T O N (AP) — Federal health regulators will add their strongest warning labels to the most widely prescribed painkillers, part of a multi-pronged government campaign to stem an epidemic of abuse and death tied to drugs like Vicodin and Percocet.

The Food and Drug Administration announced Tuesday plans to add a boxed warning — the most serious type — to all immediate-release opioid painkillers, including some 175 branded and generic drugs.

Those medications, which often combine oxycodone with lower-grade medications, are among the most commonly used drugs in the U.S. and account for 90 percent of all opioid painkillers prescribed.

Roughly three years ago the FDA added similar warnings to long-acting opioid drugs like OxyContin, which slowly release their doses over 12 hours or more. Now both immediate and extended-release formulations will highlight the risks of addiction, abuse, overdose and death.

The long-awaited changes come as federal and state officials struggle to curb a wave of overdoses fueled by the overprescribing of medications and a steady supply of cheap heroin.

“We’re at a time when

the unfathomable tragedies resulting from addiction, overdose and death have become one of the most urgent and devastating public health crises facing our country,” FDA Commissioner Dr. Robert Califf said on a call with reporters. “I can’t stress enough how critical it is for prescribers to have the most current information.”

But lawmakers from states that have been ravaged by opioid addiction said such labeling changes have “done little” to help their communities.

“Unfortunately, it has taken FDA far too long to address the grave risks of these drugs that have claimed the lives of thousands this year alone,” said Sen. Edward Markey, D-Mass.

Opioids are a class of powerful and highly addictive drugs that include both prescription drugs like codeine and hydrocodone, as well as illegal narcotics, like heroin.

Deaths linked to misuse and abuse of prescription opioids climbed to 19,000 in 2014, the highest figure on record, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Heroin and opioid painkillers combined caused 28,650 fatal overdoses.

Doctors are not required to follow the FDA’s instructions on drug labels, though they are often used as

prescribing guidelines by hospitals, medical groups and insurers.

Critics of the FDA, including Physicians for Responsible Opioid Prescribing, called on the agency to add such warnings years ago.

“The main driver of our opioid epidemic is addiction, and the immediate-release products are just as addictive,” said the group’s founder, Dr. Andrew Kolodny, an addiction therapist with Phoenix House, a network of rehabilitation clinics.

The new FDA label will specify that the drugs like Percocet should only be used when other medications and alternative therapies cannot control patients’ pain.

“This new indication, once finalized, will remind prescribers that immediate-release opioids are also powerful drugs with important safety concerns,” said Dr. Doug Throckmorton, a deputy director in the FDA’s drug center.

Throckmorton said the agency’s 2013 labeling change focused on long-acting drugs like OxyContin because they represented a “disproportionate risk” to patients, since they contain larger opioid levels.

Government officials have tried a variety of approaches to tackling painkiller abuse in recent years.

Continued from Page 1A

the week of March 2125 “Severe Weather Awareness Week.” Jasper County EMA has been fine-tuning its social media and other tech-related forms of mass communication to distribute weather information and much more.

The agency’s Facebook page, Jasper County EMA, and Twitter account, @JasperCountyEMA, serve somewhat different purposes than the social media of a business, or even larger government agencies such as Homeland Security or the National Weather Service.

While social media can be used to get regular updates out about a developing situation quickly, Harding said, it is still really a tool to drive users to more composite sources of online information.

“We’d like to use social media as a trigger to go to the website of our agency or another county, municipal, state or federal agency, where more robust information will be posted,” he said.

The Jasper County EMA website, www.jasperema-hls.org, is neatly organized into columns and lists active weather alerts first. It also features a link to signups for the WENS — the Wireless Emergency Notification System — that has recently replaced Red Alert as a source of brief text and email emergency news for many central Iowa counties.

“Social media is not meant to be a substitute for WENS or anything else,” Harding said. “In

Along with space on the lawn, the board approved the market blocking parking spaces on the north half of the west side of the square and the west half of the north side of the square, totaling less than 20 spaces, before and during the market.

The blocked off parking spaces will be marked with signage and bright orange cones early in the day, usually by 9 a.m. The signage will explain that the spaces will only be closed for two hours before the market and 45 minutes after the market.

“Some vendors sell products out of trucks and most go back and forth to their cars and trucks, unloading, restocking and loading. A row of stationary cars and trucks also creates a barrier between auto and pedestrian traffic, ensuring a pleasant and safe market experience,” Bassman said.

Bassman said that last year nobody was towed or ticketed for parking in the spaces but were asked to move as soon as the drivers could be located.

Newton Main Street will once again cover the event with its general liability insurance. Vendors must also provide proof of individual coverage prior to selling at the market.

Main Street also requires vendors sign an agreement to operate a stand, which obligates them to be good stewards of the space and respectful of the businesses and courthouse activities adjacent to the market.

This year, Bassman hopes to continue efforts to expand the market by bringing in musical acts and other entertainment and activities to make it a true community event.

For more information about the Newton Farmers’ Market contact Bassman at 641-792-5545 or newtonmainstreet@gmail.com.

fact, none of these items are meant to be used for every single piece of information. These are just more tools in the box.”

Harding said even if one source of information becomes disabled, it’s important to have a complete net of safety and emergency data resources. For example, if something were to happen to the National Weather Service’s Des Moines station, in terms of ability to collect or distribute information, the NWS stations in Sioux City, Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louis, the Quad Cities, La Crosse and Twin Cities would be able to pick up the slack.

Likewise, it’s important to custom-tailor WENS preferences to get notifications from all of the agencies in the area, and to unsubscribe for communities that might not be pertinent.

ily in Baxter, but not in the southeast part of the county, so you can uncheck certain boxes, and sign up for alerts from Story, Polk and Marshal counties as well,” Harding said.

Harding strongly recommends the use of weather radios for times when Internet and phone service might not be available.

Jasper County EMA staff might pass along growing concerns from the public to first-responder agencies, such as wanting to know when a road or area will be re-opened. However, EMA won’t be generating its own warnings or news at the county level; it will simply pass along news formulated by an area law enforcement, fire, weather, disaster or other first-responder agency.

Social media can also be a way to promote announcements about

first-responder fundraisers and educational or holiday events, and to start dialogue about common issues. For example, the NWS Des Moines station created a graphic it posted Monday to go over the different color coding for tornado situations, and the meaning for each one.

Those graphics also work well on photo-based social media sites such as Instagram, and streaming video emergency sites can use Periscope or other apps and sites to get information out. However, for the small Jasper County staff, most of its tweets and posts in the months ahead will be either textbased or reposts from other agencies.

“We mainly want to be timely and clear,” Harding said.

A Dairy Zone chocolate malt tastes like summertime

summertime stop if you are an Eastsider. As a kid and teenager growing up in the blue collar neighborhoods of Des Moines, I was happy to oblige.

I don’t know the Dairy Zone recipe for the tasty treat, there might not be a big difference in its chocolate to malt mix ratio from other mom and pop frozen deserts, but to me there is nothing like it. The malt flavor is rich but does not overwhelm the chocolate.

The drink is thick and seems to never end as it’s sipped through a straw.

After a full day at Teachout swim-

ming pool, the Dairy Zone malt was a tradition which capped off every trip.

Still wearing our swimming trunks, hair wet from the water and draped in a towel, my brothers and I loved crowding the window — barley able to see the counter to order from the East High School student dishing soft-serve on summer vacation. As a teen, it was cool to climb into my 1974 Ford Torino with friends and cruise through the drive-thru to get a cone, cheese curd basket or Dairy Zone’s version of the Dairy Queen Blizzard — the Tornado. No matter my age, I’ll always feel at home when I see the shop’s plaster ice cream cone-character smiling and waiving people into the tiny parking lot packed with cars on a hot summer night.

My girlfriend and I have taken our Dairy Zone malts — she opts for the blueberry shake — on strolls through the Iowa State Fair Grounds. The cold drinks sweeten the sights of workers preparing for August or the new sprouts in the ISU Discovery Garden.

Newtonians have had Cardinal Corner since 1956, those in Colfax can walk down to Weirick’s Pharmacy after school to visit the malt makers and soda jerks. In Monroe it’s Jersey Freeze and Prairie City it’s Goldie’s. I love the history each ice cream haunt brings to its town. But for me, the Dairy Zone chocolate malt will always bring me back to Eastside in the summertime.

Empty Nest Curt Swarm

Antarctica vacation Winter vacations usually take the form of travel to warmer climates, basking on sunny beaches, drinking pina coladas and flaunting the good weather to folks back home.

Not so with Bonnie and Mike Vance, of Mt. Pleasant.

They had visited most continents, but not Antarctica or Asia. So, this year, along with some traveling friends from Wisconsin, it was off to Antarctica. FYI, winter in the Midwest is summer in Antarctica, but don’t plan on working on your tan. Highs are in the neighborhood of 45 degrees. But you can take your golf shoes if you like — the spikes might work as good ice grippers.

Bonnie and Mike drove to St. Louis, hopped a flight to Miami, met up with their Wisconsin friends, then flew to Buenos Aires.

They loved Buenos Aires, except for one thing. Bonnie had her purse stolen, losing credit cards, drivers license, cellphone, etc. Fortunately, her passport was back in the hotel safe. Mike, who is a lawyer and magistrate judge, found out first hand what it is like being on the other side of a police department, not speaking the language and dealing with a lot of misunderstandings. To top it off, one of Mike’s credit cards had been compromised.

But everything was worked out, and they were on a cruise ship to Montevideo, Uruguay, then the Falkland Islands. After a two-hour jeep ride through terrible rocky terrain, they saw their first penguins. Rock hopper penguins are really cute. The parents hop up and down this 100 foot cliff to the water and back to bring food to their chicks. On the jeep ride back, one of the jeeps got stuck in a peat bog and had to be pulled out.

Then it was back on the cruise ship and off to Antarctica. There is this Beaufort scale wind chart that goes from 0 to 12. They were at a nine, with 30 foot waves and 50 knot (57 mph) winds, making drunken sailors out of them all. Spray was hitting the observation-deck windows, ten stories up. Passengers were told to stay in their cabins. Mike got a little sea sick, but ginger in hot water straightened him right out.

And then they saw their first iceberg. It was 1.7 miles long and 100 feet high. It’s what you don’t see under water that can be perilous.

Bonnie and Mike took their first Zodiac (large rubber raft) ride, from ship to shore. The Zodiacs are built in sections, so that if ice is hit and a section is punctured, the Zodiac will stay afloat. The Zodiac Bonnie and Mike were in hit some ice, and the right front quarter blew out.

Everyone had to move to the rear for stabilization. Then all the passengers had to change Zodiacs. Mike was first.

The crew and passengers held the two Zodiacs together.

Mike was instructed to sling his feet over the sides and jump. Someone in the other Zodiac would catch him, hopefully. All passengers were moved safely. Whew!

Some people in another Zodiac had a penguin jump into their boat. It was being chased by a seal. All was captured on film.

Bonnie and Mike landed at a big penguin rookery.

There were thousands of penguins. The skuas (large Antarctic birds) fly in and try to steal eggs and chicks. Skuas are known to attack people’s heads. Mike had a skua land right beside him, which scared the bejeebies out of him.

The skua strutted through the nesting penguins, looking for a meal, like it was a smorgasbord. The penguins have sharp beaks and fiercely protect their chicks and eggs. It was quite a sight.

It takes seven penguins to decide what they are going to do. They stand at the water’s edge and can’t make up their mind. One jumps in, and the others follow.

Although rather awkward on land, the penguins shoot through the water like missiles.

Some days were beautiful and sunny, with crystal blue sky and plenty of fresh air. At Waterboat Point there was a cormorant rookery, and an old whaling shipwreck. At Wilhelmina Bay, Bonnie and Mike saw a pod of orcas (killer whales), and a humpback whale blowing bubbles under water. Another humpback would come up through the bubbles and grab a mouth full of krill. Life is tough in Antarctica. Krill is a main food supply for many creatures and is in danger of extinction from global warming.

Would Bonnie and Mike go back to Antarctica and would they recommend the trip to others? Absolutely.

willing to work for the party wherever needed.

Wes has long been interested in serving as state representative, and very narrowly lost, by a single Central Committee voter, the special nominating process to name a replacement candidate for Paul Bell in 2010. In the years since, while there have been public divisions within the party, Wes has always striven to bring the party together; he has attempted to be a bridge builder, knowing that a united Democratic party is a stronger and ultimately more successful one.

When Wes announced his candidacy for the state representative office last fall, I offered to assist on his campaign team, and am pleased to serve as treasurer.

It is very difficult and expensive to run against an incumbent, and Wes has worked extremely hard

to raise money and support. He’s reached out to many constituents who have come to believe Wes’s election is the way forward for the party. The initial campaign financial disclosure in January, which covered fundraising from the late September announcement to December 31, showed a balance of over $10,000. That is a remarkable sum for a non-incumbent to raise in three months. It was made up entirely of donations from individuals and investment of Wes’s own money.

I believe Wes to be a very smart, hardworking, responsive candidate with great integrity. He can help unite our Jasper County party and strengthen the Democratic voice in the Iowa Statehouse. Please join me in voting for him on June 7.

Fourth of July campsite reservations available April 1 through IDNR Newton Daily News Campers anxious to reserve spots for the Fourth of July weekend should mark April 1 on their calendars, when reservations for a Friday arrival open.

Campers can make reservations for sites three months ahead of their first night’s stay.

“Electric sites go quickly,” Todd Coffelt, chief of the Iowa Department of Natural Resources State Parks Bureau said. “And some sites will already be reserved by campers arriving prior to the holi-

day weekend.”

Not every campsite is available on the reservation system. Parks maintain between 25 and 50 percent of the electric and nonelectric sites as non-reservation sites, available for walk-up camping.

Information on Iowa’s state parks is available online at www. iowadnr.gov including the link to reservations.

Campers can also log on directly to iowastateparks.reserveamerica. com; enter their preferred dates and/or parks to see what sites are available and make

a reservation.

Campers are encouraged to note closures when making their reservations. A few campgrounds are currently closed for renovation and weather will play an important role in how soon they will be back online.

Union Grove State Park campground is off-line during its lake renovation, but reservations can be made through the park office at 641473-2556 as the lake is refilling. Red Haw State Park’s scheduled campground renovation has been postponed until

Chinese man pleads guilty in Iowa killing of girlfriend BEIJING — A Chinese man has pleaded guilty in eastern China to killing his girlfriend in the United States where the pair were students in the state of Iowa, a court officer said Thursday.

Li Xiangnan entered the plea to murder during a daylong hearing Wednesday, said an officer in charge of trial documents at the Intermediate People’s Court in the city of Wenzhou. The officer refused to give her name, citing court regulations.

Li, a former University of Iowa student, surrendered to police in Wenzhou last May after returning

to China following the slaying of his girlfriend, 20-year-old Chinese national Shao Tong, who was a student at Iowa State University.

Her body was found stuffed into the trunk of her car in September 2014.

China does not extradite its citizens and says it can put them on trial itself regardless of where a crime occurred.

The court officer said that prosecutors say Li planned the killing, but Li’s lawyer argued the crime wasn’t premeditated. The case would continue at an unspecified later date, the officer said.

Fear of arrest prevents man from seeking help he needs

DEAR ABBY: I find myself sometimes wanting to commit the most heinous of crimes. The desire to do this has been with me my entire life. I was sexually abused by my mother and oldest brother. While that’s no excuse, I understand why I may be the way I am.

At 51, I have never committed any act against a young girl, but the desire is clearly there for me. The issue before me is that if I seek help for this problem, those who can provide it are required by law in this state to report me.

How am I to overcome these urges when no matter what I do I am considered guilty? — ANONYMOUS IN AMERICA DEAR ANONYMOUS: You should be discussing these feelings with a licensed mental health professional. If fear that you will be arrested is what is holding you back, please be aware that if the urge or feeling is not directed at anyone in particular, a therapist is not required to report what you are confiding. However, if there is a direct threat toward a specific individual, it must be reported, even if it has not yet occurred.

DEAR ABBY: I have attended many events where the national anthem has been sung by an invited guest and many where it has been pre-recorded. When the national anthem is being sung live, is it disrespectful to the performer to sing along? Some people who sing along are off-key or sing so loud they drown out the performance for the unfortunate attendees seated near them. — AUDREY IN ARIZONA DEAR AUDREY: Our national anthem is notoriously difficult to sing, as many professionals have discovered to their embarrassment when they tried to perform it publicly. At large events during which the anthem is played, it is not uncommon for many

of the audience members to be so filled with patriotic fervor that they join in.

If memory serves me, the volume is usually so loud that no one can hear what’s coming out of their mouths.

To the best of my knowledge, no rule of etiquette forbids anyone from singing along with Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Garth Brooks or Renee Fleming — if they have the nerve to try.

DEAR ABBY: I am an old lady, happy I can still get around using a cane. I would like to thank the many people who take the extra time to open a door for me or hold it open longer so I can get through. I am grateful for their help, and being offered a place ahead of them in the checkout line is beyond appreciated. Thank you, thank you.

However, may I offer a suggestion to those helpful folks, often robust men, who want to do more? If I look unsteady, please DO NOT grab me by the arm and try to steer me like an empty bicycle! Instead, hold your arm out for me to lean on and allow me to do the navigating. It may be slow, but with your help, it will be safe. — CARYL IN NEW MEXICO DEAR CARYL: That’s an excellent suggestion, and one I hope helpful readers of both sexes will pay attention to.

Norwalk police capture wandering kangaroo NORWALK — Norwalk police say they have captured an escaped kangaroo.

Police received a call Tuesday night about a kangaroo that was wandering around Norwalk. Police quickly captured the animal and transferred it to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

Police say the 3-foot-tall animal is owned by a man in Norwalk. The owner told police he originally wanted to keep the kangaroo as a pet while living in a rural area.

DES MOINES — An appeals court says Iowa State University can get out of paying some legal fees to a whistleblower who was viciously mistreated by his superiors.

The Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 on Wednesday that a judge erred in awarding $368,000 in legal fees to Dennis Smith, sending the case back for a lower award.

Smith was awarded $500,000 for emotional distress and $150,000 for reputational harm he suffered after reporting financial misconduct by his boss.

SIOUX CITY — Authorities say heavy snow is hampering travel in parts of Iowa, particularly near Sioux City.

National Weather Service meteorologist Todd Heitkamp said Thursday morning that the powerful winter storm that struck Wednesday left 12 to 14 inches of snow in and northeast of Sioux City.

The snowfall has ended, and Heitkamp says he doesn’t expect many problems from drifting or blowing snow because it fell wet and heavy — typical of wintry storms in the spring.

A 14-person bus would travel a fixed route in North Liberty.

Iowa museum spat shows conflict over historical preservation

By Barbara Rodriguez The Associated Press DES MOINES — An $80 million proposal to renovate Iowa’s flagship history museum in Des Moines has spotlighted a growing conflict over historical preservation in Iowa, with a group of historians arguing the plan is unnecessarily costly and doesn’t adequately address longstanding issues over how artifacts in the state are maintained.

The Save Iowa History Alliance has been calling on the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs to fix what it says is inadequate attention to artifact preservation. It’s come to a head as the DCA seeks about $65 million from the Legislature to revamp the State Historical Museum, a building less than 30 years old that’s plagued with structural issues.

“The building is a symbol of larger issues,” said Tyler Priest, a group organizer and associate professor of history and geography at the University of Iowa. “The DCA believes it’s going to be transformative in a good way. We believe it’s going to be transformative in a bad way.”

The DCA declined to respond to questions from The Associated Press. Jeff Morgan, a department spokesman, responded to all questions by saying, “There are a number of opinions out there.” He referenced the same comment when asked about the department’s strategy for professional staffing and hours at its two research centers.

Mary Cownie, director of the DCA since her 2011 appointment by Gov. Terry Branstad, has frequently spoken at legislative hearings in support

“The building is a symbol of larger issues. The DCA believes it’s going to be transformative in a good way. We believe it’s going to be transformative in a bad way.”

— Tyler Priest, University of Iowa

of the $80 million project, which includes plans for private fundraising. She has said the proposed museum changes reflect years of strategic planning aimed at better preserving Iowa artifacts and making them more accessible to the public.

But there are concerns among the research community about how that vision is possible when the department has cut professional staffing at

research centers in Des Moines and Iowa City. The facilities provide public access to state documents and objects.

The reductions go against professional standards in the industry for collecting, managing and accessing historical resources, said Elizabeth Heineman, chair of the University of Iowa’s history department. She and history chairs at several Iowa colleges and universities sent a letter to Branstad and

DCA officials in April 2015 that said they were “deeply concerned” over the cuts.

The chairs are preparing another letter to address the ongoing situation, Heineman said Wednesday.

Heineman said neither Branstad nor DCA officials responded formally to the initial letter. Department officials have since met with Heineman and other historians, but she said there’s been little indication of action.

“It’s one thing to have a meeting, it’s another thing to sort of take up the issues at hand and say, ‘We’re hearing you,’” she said.

In June 2015, the American Historical Association wrote to Branstad and DCA leaders expressing “grave concern about reductions in resources for the research collections” maintained within the department.

Court: Iowa had no duty to monitor Court upholds gambling predator at nursing home commission’s Sioux City POMEROY (AP) — Iowa authorities had no duty to protect residents of a nursing home from a sexual predator who assaulted a 95-year-old resident after being committed there by court order, an appeals court ruled Wednesday.

State officials had no legal obligation to supervise William Cubbage after they petitioned a judge to have him released from a state treatment program for the most dangerous sex offenders, the Iowa Court of Appeals said. They also were not required to develop a safety plan for Cubbage once a judge agreed to have him sent to the Pomeroy Care Center, a nursing home in western Iowa, the three-judge panel ruled.

The ruling upholds a lower court’s dismissal of personal injury claims against the state brought by the estate of the victim, who has since died. Additional claims still pending accuse the nursing home of failing to prevent the August 2011 assault.

Cubbage, now 87, was ordered held for treatment at the state-run Civil Commitment Unit for Sexual Offenders after completing a prison sentence in 2002. He had been convicted of nu-

merous sexual crimes against minors between 1987 and 2000, and was diagnosed with pedophilia. After developing dementia, state officials agreed further treatment was unlikely to succeed but that he still needed full-time custody and care.

A judge in November 2010 ordered Cubbage placed at the Pomeroy Care Center, ruling that he remained a danger to himself and others due to dementia and executive dysfunction.

Less than a year later, the child of a staff member saw Cubbage sexually assaulting the 95-year-old woman in her room. The victim filed a lawsuit in 2012 before she died.

Prosecutors did not pursue criminal charges against Cubbage, opting instead to have him held in a prison hospital pending a civil trial on whether he should be recommitted to the sex offender program. Ultimately, the civil case was dropped in 2014 and Cubbage was moved into a state mental health institute.

The lawyer for the victim’s estate, Willis Hamilton, said Wednesday he disagreed with the appeals court decision and would consider asking the Iowa Supreme Court for further review.

casino votes

By David Pitt The Associated Press DES MOINES — The Iowa Court of Appeals on Wednesday upheld a judge’s dismissal of a lawsuit filed by the owners of the shuttered Argosy casino in Sioux City, settling a longstanding dispute over who has the right to operate a casino there.

The court concluded the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission acted properly in 2013 when it decided to grant a gambling license to the land-based Hard Rock casino and reject an application by the owners of the Argosy riverboat

casino.

Argosy was owned by the Belle of Sioux City, a subsidiary of Penn National Gaming Co. The commission denied Argosy owners a license in April 2013 after the company failed to renegotiate an operating contract with the Missouri River Historical Development, a local nonprofit group that holds the state gambling license for Woodbury County.

Iowa law requires casino licenses to be held by local nonprofit organizations that promise to share a percentage of profits with local governments and community-based groups. Casino

operators, often large gambling corporations, contract with the nonprofit license holder to operate the casino.

The dispute between Argosy and its nonprofit partner led the commission to seek other proposals for a new Sioux City casino.

Even though Argosy eventually partnered with a different nonprofit and proposed to build a new casino, the commission chose to award the license to Missouri River Historical Development and a new casino company it contracted with to build a proposed $128 million Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

Davenport veteran faces Stolen Valor charge over medals DAVENPORT (AP) — A Davenport Vietnam veteran has been accused of buying or attempting to buy congressional military decorations and medals without proper authorization.

The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa prosecutor specifically names the Combat Infantryman Badge, Purple Heath and Silver Star in court documents.

Seventy-year-old Bob Brooks claims he earned five Purple Hearts and three Silver Stars, along with many other awards during his service.

Brooks previously told the Quad-City Times that the Army notified him of his awards long ago and that he pre-

sumed the information was correct.

But a military investigation opened after a reporter inquired about his service record. Results of that probe indicated Brooks didn’t earn any Purple Hearts or Silver Stars.

Brooks faces a Stolen Valor charge, according to Rachel Scherle, spokeswoman with the U.S. Attorneys Office, Southern District of Iowa. She said Brooks is expected to enter into a plea agreement in federal court next week.

A Navy spokeswoman said that Brooks’ DD214, a Department of Defense document that records veterans’ military service, has been amended.

Brooks, a long-

time active member of the Vietnam Veterans Quad-Cities Chapter 299, was asked to step down as a delegate to the national convention of Vietnam Veteran and resign from the group’s Honor Guard last year.

“I’m satisfied now, but I’m more sad than satisfied,” said Bill Albracht, Chapter 299’s president.

“We gave Bob several opportunities to come clean. It’s a sad day for the Brooks family and a sad day for all Vietnam veterans.”

Albracht said Brooks did serve with distinction in Vietnam, but didn’t earn the awards he said he did.

Brooks didn’t return the newspaper’s most recent requests for comment.

Numbers are up across the board for Tigerhawks

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Numbers are up across the board for the four Colfax-Mingo spring sports teams.

The girls’ track program is above and beyond 40 participants for the first time in Zach Tomas’ seven-year reign at the school. The talented and large boys’ senior class will impact another program.

The golf programs struggled to have enough golfers to field a full team last year, but first-year coach Nick Noring has 13 boys and six girl golfers this spring.

An increase in numbers should help the Tigerhawks be competitive in the South Iowa Cedar League.

Girls Track Tomas has built a tradition and created an atmosphere that a lot of Colfax-Mingo students want to be a part of.

For the first time in his seven years, 41 athletes will be helping the Tigerhawks make a push at an outdoor SICL championship.

The team is highlighted by junior Dakota Hostetter, a two-time state qualifier who ran in three events on the blue oval last year.

A handful of others have helped build the Tigerhawks into a competitive program.

None more important than seniors Jessica Albright and McKinzie Tjaden, who are trying to become four-time state qualifiers.

“We’ve created a tradition and an atmosphere that others want to be a part of,” Tomas said. “We have girls who go out and actively recruit other girls, and (assistant coach) Laurie McGhee is out recruiting kids, too. It’s been a group effort for sure.”

Hostetter was ninth in the 1,500-meter run last year, but

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo senior Gabe Simpson returns to the Tigerhawk boys track and field team this year after running on the squad’s 4x400 relay team at the state meet last May.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo junior Dakota Hostetter, left, is looking to qualify for the state track and field meet for the third time in her career this season.

She ran in three state meet events last year.

only two of the runners who finished ahead of her — Turkey Valley’s Shelby Reicks and Stephanie Martin — return to the Class 1A field.

Four-time state champion Rebekah Topham and four others have graduated and 2015 runner-up Gwynne Wright of Pekin is now in 2A. “She runs anything we want her to run,” Tomas said of Hostetter. “She has already eclipsed her indoor times this year, and her goal is break five minutes in the 1,500.”

Wilson. Tjaden will again run a 200 leg, while Wilson will be the 400 runner.

Wilson was very solid as a freshman. She advanced to state and placed 18th in the high jump. She’s already off to a strong start this year.

“Her mental toughness is so much better this year,” Tomas said. “That will help her with all of her events. She has a lot of confidence and will be a huge asset this year.

“McKinzie looks really determined. She’s ready to go.”

Albright’s senior year is

Last year, Hostetter had the Tigerhawks’ fastest times in the 100, 200, 400, 800, 1,500 and 3,000. Her focus again this year will be on the 1,500 and anchoring a distance medley relay that has been to the state meet the last two years.

Hostetter anchored the 4x800 relay that finished 11th at state last year, but she’s the only returning member from that team.

Returning on that distance medley team are Albright, Tjaden and sophomore Ries

uncertain after tearing her ACL during basketball season. She will try to run on the injury.

If Albright can’t finish the season, junior Amy Russell could be a replacement on one of the 200 legs. Russell also should be very competitive in the shot put.

Junior Aranda Woods is back. She was a state qualifier in the long jump during her freshman year and will help fill in sprint relays.

Sooners’ Lattin proud of grandfather’s Texas Western legacy

By Cliff Blunt AP Sports Writer NORMAN, Okla. — Years ago, long after David Lattin became known as “Big Daddy,” he saw a bit of himself in his grandson as the preschooler played and ran.

Lattin told Khadeem’s mother that her son would someday be a basketball player, as he was. Grandpa was right, of course, and his pride has grown as Khadeem became the player he is now, a 20-year-old starting forward at NCAA championship hopeful Oklahoma.

Their similarities transcend the sport they love. David Lattin’s quiet strength, determina-

David Lattin, right, was a force inside for the 1966 NCAA champion Texas Western squad and his grandson, Khadeem Lattin, left, is playing for Oklahoma in the 2016 NCAA Sweet 16.

tion and work ethic have been passed on to Khadeem through years of support and advice from the teacher and admira-

State of Iowa got a little bit of everything in tourney’s first weekend

If you are a fan of basketball in the state of Iowa, you had quite the emotional ride during the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament.

There wasn’t more of an emotional run than what happened to the Northern Iowa men’s team and its fans — a buzzer-beating halfcourt shot on Friday followed by a complete meltdown on Sunday.

The Panthers were destined for the Sweet 16, but Texas A&M rallied from a double-digit deficit with less than a

tion and emulation from the student. All those qualities have helped Khadeem on the court — and off.

This & That Troy Hyde minute to play to advance. That was super emotional. I still feel bad for the Panther players and head coach Ben Jacobson.

Friday’s win at the horn was the complete opposite. Northern Iowa dominated Texas early in the game only to lose a big lead in the second half. With a tie game, Paul Jesperson’s heave from halfcourt banked in. It was the biggest and most exciting win of the entire weekend.

Iowa had an exciting win on Friday afternoon, too. The least likely candidate for a buzzer beater, Adam Woodbury, delivered as he putback a Mike Gesell miss to give the Hawkeyes a first-round win over Temple.

Not many fans expected Iowa to win against No. 2 seeded Villanova in the second round Sunday. Appar-

When the Oklahoma campus was rocked by a racetinged fraternity controversy last year, David Lattin knew

ently neither did the Hawkeye players as they fell behind early and never recovered during another second-round blowout loss.

Iowa State got about as good of a draw as you can ask for and took full advantage. The Cyclones blew out Iona in the first round. Several national experts picked Iona to beat the Cyclones, but Georges Niang and the Cyclones had different ideas. That game wasn’t as close as expected.

Then, Iowa State got handed a favorable matchup in the second round when Little Rock upset Purdue.

The Cyclones don’t have to apologize. Upsets in the tournament happen all the time. They took advantage of the draw by pounding Little Rock and advancing to Friday’s Sweet 16 game against No. 1 seed Virginia.

The Cavaliers will be a much tougher opponent, but the winner of that game will be the favorite to reach the Final Four as the next opponent will be a double-digit seed in either Gonzaga or Syracuse.

his grandson was especially prepared to process what was happening. After all, Khadeem knows well his grandfather’s role in college basketball lore as one of the five all-black players who started for Texas Western in its landmark 1966 NCAA championship victory over a Kentucky team that started five whites.

Khadeem was a freshman when members of the University of Oklahoma’s Sigma Alpha Epsilon chapter were recorded singing a racist chant, video that was posted online.

Suddenly, Khadeem’s lifelong education about racism became much more tangible LEGACY | 2B

Iowa State likes to run up and down the floor and take a bunch of 3-pointers. Virginia is one of the best defensive teams in the country. The contrast of styles is the most intriguing part about that matchup.

As a whole, the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament did not disappoint. There were a record-number of wins for double-digit seeds. The Sweet 16, like in most years, weeded out most of those teams, but Gonzaga and Syracuse guarantees that there will be at least one double-digit seed in the Elite 8.

It sounds like Des Moines did well in hosting its first men’s tournament games.

There are things that need to be addressed — like extremely long bathroom and concession stand lines — but the city did a great job of showing the country what it’s about. And the potential it has moving forward.

Tigerhawks: Graduate Noring begins first season as Colfax-Mingo golf coach Continued from Page 1B Tomas has been impressed with his 12 freshmen.

Colleen Craig and Ilia Hostetter will run with Dakota Hostetter in the distance events, while Payton Rhone has been a pleasant surprise in the middle distances.

Like last year, several members of the team will be on the Prairie City-Monroe girls soccer team. That makes things challenging for Tomas, but the Tigerhawk coach said the two sports go well together.

“They do so much running in soccer that it helps with their track training,” Tomas said. “They get more running in than we do sometimes. It’s hard on their bodies. That’s my only concern.

But the conditioning is a plus.”

Dakota Hostetter is one of the dual-sport athletes. Tomas said his junior standout improved her 1,500 time by 12 seconds last year when she played both sports for the first time.

Twelve other Tigerhawks will run track for C-M and play soccer for PCM this year, including Tjaden, Albright, Woods, Craig and Ilia Hostetter.

The outdoor season begins April 5 at Lynnville-Sully.

Boys Track A large senior class and balance throughout the rest of the lineup has coach Matt Barkalow feeling good about his Tigerhawk team’s chances at competing for an SICL outdoor championship.

Senior Jacob Lietz, Gabe Simpson, Blake Summy and Colin Lourens headline this year’s roster, but the talent across the board should help the team compete at a high level.

Lietz, Summy and Simpson were a part of the 4x400 relay team that placed 13th at last year’s state meet.

Lietz (400) and Lourens (long jump) also participated at state in individual events.

“This is a senior-driven squad with outstanding leadership from the Class of 2016, both on and off the track,” Barkalow said. “Lietz, Simpson and Summy will be as fast as anyone we’ll see in the 400 during the regular season. Lourens will be one of the elite long jumpers locally.”

It all starts with the seniors for the Tigerhawks.

Three of the four members of the 4x400 state team are back. Lietz will anchor the event with Summy, Simpson and freshman Holister Koenig running the other three legs.

Koenig earned the fourth spot in

Legacy Continued from Page 1B than watching “Glory Road” or flipping through old photos showing his grandfather and the rest of the Miners.

David reached out to offer Khadeem guidance, but the younger Lattin was prepared to respond the same way David did decades earlier — with quiet strength. He chose simply to join others on campus in a silent protest.

“I think everybody understands there’s been racial problems, and there’s never going to be a perfect world, maybe not in my lifetime, but it is what it is,” David Lattin said. “He understands that he has to deal with it, and he’s not going run away from it, he’s going to face it head on and do what he can to help others and do his thing. I’m proud of him for that.”

David Lattin is just as proud of his team’s accomplishment 50 years ago.

the preseason, but Lourens, seniors Jared Myers and Lane Dunblazer, junior Adam Teed and freshman Zarek Hill are all in the mix and will add depth to the 400 crew.

Lietz finished 22nd in the 400 at state as a junior. The good news Lourens is that 16 of the 21 runners who finished before Lietz have all graduated. Lietz, Simpson and Summy have all run under 54 seconds in the event during the indoor season.

Lourens was 24th at state in the long jump last year. He’s been marked at almost 20 feet during the indoor season.

Besides Lourens in the long jump, seniors Alan Wheeler, Michael Deal and Nicholas Deal and juniors Jimmy Camp and Wyatt Owens should be consistent point scorers in other field events.

Wheeler and Camp will eclipse 40 feet in the shot put, while the Deal twins and Owens will provide some punch in the discus.

Michael Deal and Owens were both district medalists in the discus last

year. Wheeler was a district medalist in the long jump, while Simpson medaled in the 400, too.

The rest of the lineup will be filled in by a plethora of underclassmen, including sophomores Reegan Van Dyke and Alex Lewis and freshmen Hill, Koenig, Ethan Summy and Marshall Maple.

“The newcomers have shown great promise,” Barkalow said. “It’s a wonderful group of young men in all four classes. They are all working hard with tremendous attitudes and potential to challenge for an SICL outdoor championship and multiple state qualifiers in May.” The outdoor season begins April 5 at Lynnville-Sully.

Golf Last year, the Colfax-Mingo golf teams didn’t have enough players to fill an entire varsity roster for most of the season.

One year later, former Colfax-Mingo standout Nick Noring has more than doubled those numbers.

The Tigerhawk boys golf team will have 13 swingers this season, while the girls’ roster includes five names.

With the numbers no longer an issue, Noring can now work on restoring a program he once knew to be quite competitive.

“Golf was always fun when I played at Colfax-Mingo,” Noring said. “I am looking forward to building the program back up to where it’s fun to play golf again.”

Noring graduated from Colfax-Mingo in 2005. He’s been waiting for his chance to get back to his hometown and make a difference with the latest crop of Tigerhawk athletes.

That starts this spring with golf and continues this summer as Noring will be an assistant coach for the baseball team.

The Tigerhawk boys will have four returning seniors on this year’s squad.

Leading the way will be Mason Mosher, who is expected to be the team’s No. 1 after playing behind 2015 state qualifier Jimmy Abell last year.

Seniors Zevin Lander and Jacob Buehrer are expected to battle for the No. 2 and No. 3 spots, according to Noring, and the No. 4 position will be a battle between senior Jake Jeter and freshman Ahren Teed.

The other two golfers Noring expects to contend for varsity action are sophomore Wyatt Smith and freshman Nic Duffy.

“The team has bought into the system already,” Noring said. “Everyone

But he always understood that some battles would be left to future generations, even in a world where the SAE incident is the exception rather than the rule. He is thankful that his grandson could have gone anywhere to school, including those in the old South that were slow to integrate in the ‘60s.

“My grandfather’s story — it means a lot,” Khadeem said. “It’s wonderful to know that a Lattin has left an enormous impact on the game of basketball in the way that it’s played and the way that people see it. I love it. It’s nice to have something like that and know that my name means something important in the world and in history.”

David, now 72, said race is part of the story when it comes to the 1966 title game, but winning is what made Texas Western’s achievement relevant.

He said his teammates didn’t realize the significance of beating coach Adolph Rupp’s Wildcats until long afterward. He said he’s equally proud of

both the championship and its role in race relations.

“They both go together,” David said.

“Being a national champion and what it did for everybody else, very important. Your legacy is what it’s all about.

Someone said if you do something for yourself, when you die, it goes away.

But if you do something for somebody else, your legacy will last forever.”

Khadeem said he wouldn’t mind adding another championship ring to the family collection. The Final Four is in Houston, the hometown for both Lattins, and the Sooners are the No. 2 seed in the NCAA West Region.

“It would be nice,” Khadeem said.

“It would be a nice story to tell my kids, and it would definitely be in the history books.”

One of Khadeem’s favorite plays his grandfather made came early in the 1966 championship game. David threw down a powerful two-handed dunk over Kentucky’s Pat Riley for

wants to be in that top six so the competition has been great.”

The Tigerhawk girls team has three more players than last year.

Olivia Maggard graduated from last year’s team, but Skye Weber returns for her junior season.

Underwood Leading the way though will be freshman Delaney Underwood, who Noring said can hit the ball as hard as some of his boys.

Underwood will be the team’s No. 1 golfer and also will play for the PCM soccer team.

“The girls team outside of Delaney is a work in progress, but it’s a group that wants to learn and wants to be competitive,” Noring said. “I am tickled to death to have them on my team.”

Sophomore McKeely Tjaden is out this year, but she’ll once again play on the PCM soccer team as the starting goalie. The other two players are freshmen Jasmine Riley and Camilla Schlasser.

Texas Western’s first points, the same Pat Riley who is president of the Miami Heat and coached the “Showtime” Los Angeles Lakers.

“It was awesome,” Khadeem said. “I mean, my grandfather dunked on Pat Riley. That’s pretty cool.”

Ever the teacher, David turned his grandson’s recognition of that moment into a lesson.

“He would tell me always start games like that,” Khadeem said. “He’d go further and say start life like that. To be aggressive and go all out and make sure that your presence is known at all times.”

Khadeem hopes that someday, his grandchildren can be proud of him, too. He embraces the standard David set 50 years ago.

“He definitely took the blunt force of a lot of the negativity and all that, and he definitely paved the road for us,” Khadeem said. “Now, my job is to make it even longer and stretch it even further.

That’s my job, is to carry that lineage.”

The day after a full moon can feel a bit like the afterglow of a wild all-nighter, which is to say not so “glowing” at all. Some will even be doing the walk of shame in last night’s party clothes. Needless to say, greater self-care is called for. What is the spiritual and emotional equivalent to electrolytes and a nap? Do that!

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (March 24). Oh joy! An ambition fulfilled before June will transform your days. You’ll strip away some of your self-imposed rules and be unstoppable through April. Supportive people around you understand that your devotion to family comes first and

will help you live up to your role in that regard. You’ll celebrate a powerful love in July.

Cancer and Virgo adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 4, 33, 25, 41 and 19.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s good to have a witness, and you need one right about now. Invite onlookers. Ask for critique.

Someone who studies your moves will be able to illuminate things about the way you operate that even you didn’t know.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Conversational oddities, quirks in the clothing and hiccups that have to do with getting from here to there can be expected.

EMPLOYMENT

We are currently accepting applications for employees who enjoy interacting and caring for seniors in a Christian based environment

But will you float through this day soaking up and spreading emotional sunshine? Yes! GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

When the task at hand is something you don’t want to do, it’s not your fault. You may have a constitutional difficulty in being roused to do it. And yet, that’s not a pass. It only means you have to do the rousing yourself.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

There will be a lull in the action and this is the perfect moment to reach out and find some new friends to add to your crew. You won’t go wrong when you seek the company of self-directed, purposeful and intelligent people.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your

values will act as the North Star to guide you to your brightest and best. It’s easy to forget what those values are when you are not surrounded by people who share them. It’s why you need to try harder to find your tribe.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You want to point out what’s right, but stark honesty will scrape up an ego or two as it lands.

Resolve to communicate with kindness and love. This resolution alone will contribute to a brilliant interpersonal result.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A cause you were involved in has since petered out but there’s something that comes along today that has a similar feel. You may take this one on purely for nostalgia’s sake!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’ll be keenly aware of what people do for ego gratification.

It’s good not to get too involved in these vanity endeavors, as they are susceptible to the whims of their creator instead of following any logical or orderly path.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Choose and choose fast. If you waste time agonizing over a decision, someone with less talent and heart will choose, run with the choice and rise to claim the ultimate victory. Don’t let this happen.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll learn, have fun and share generously in the process, which feels absolutely effortless. Still, make sure you get

credit for what you contribute. If you’re too modest, you’ll miss an opportunity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Something about what you’re doing or who you are is getting more attention than you want.

Well, that just comes with the territory of being attractive.

Come up with clever and gracious ways of handling this.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). A flare of new energy sends you right into the best vantage point for what there is to see today.

This could have to do with an actual ticketed event -- or a natural spectacle of life.
