Defendant denies intent to kill MSSU coach

By Jeff Lehr The Joplin Globe JOPLIN, Mo. — Jeffrey Bruner testified Wednesday that he has little memory of killing Derek Moore.

“I remember seeing the gun come out and remember seeing one or two shots and hearing three,” Bruner told jurors on the second day of his trial on first-degree murder charges.

The 41-year-old water plant operator said it was like his field of vision was “closing in” on him and “everything was getting farther and farther away” during his confrontation with Moore and his estranged wife outside the movie theater comBruner plex at Northpark Mall in Joplin.

“It was like I was blacking out or something,” he told the court.

He denied having any memory of standing over Moore — after he collapsed to the pavement from the first shots — and emptying the fully loaded .380-caliber Ruger LCP handgun into him, seven shots in all, six of which struck the victim, according to other testimony.

Moore Bruner also denied any recollection of kicking the Missouri Southern State University assistant football coach in the head two or three times after shooting him and then walking away to his vehicle, as witnesses have testified. He said it was not until he found himself in the driver’s seat of his vehicle that some lucidity returned to him.

The defendant denied going to the theater complex with any intention of killing Moore, who was out on a date with Bruner’s estranged wife on Nov. 1, 2013.

“I just wanted to talk to my wife, to save our marriage, to keep her from going down this road she was going down,” Bruner said.

Before Bruner took the stand, his wife, who now goes by her maiden name, Dawn Michelle Hale, and a psychologist were called as witnesses by the defense.

OPEN to host Project Help Ukraine event

Music, food, silent auction among activities Sunday

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News When a deeply rooted, escalating and dividing conflict occurs overseas many detach themselves from the distant events and turn the page, but a group of individuals from Newton are doing something to help their friends in Ukraine and they’re

inviting all to join them.

Organization Promoting Everlasting Neighbors (OPEN) will host a special cultural fundraising event from 2 to 5 p.m.

Sunday at McCann Center, 1115 S. Eighth Ave. E. in Newton.

The purpose of the event is to raise money to send toiletries, food and other needed items to hospitals and homes in its sister

city Smila, Ukraine.

“It’s an opportunity for people to immerse themselves culturally and experience something new,” OPEN board member Svitlana Miller said.

Organizers have planned a variety of event activities to help raise money: a bake sale; $2 Ukrainian cabbage rolls; $5 Ukrainian yarn doll craft project; live music; $15 ‘Glory to Ukraine’ T-shirts; and a silent auction of donated items.

28th Annual Chill-I Ride set for Saturday

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Central Iowa Cyclists will hold the 28th Annual Chill-I Ride starting at PJ’s Deli, 101 First Ave. E., Saturday. Registration begins at 9:30 a.m., at the cost is $15.

The ride begins at 10 a.m. To add to the event, two tickets to an Iowa Speedway event will be given away.

The CIC originally developed the ride to help raise money for its helmet program. For the last 15 years, every third grader in the community has received a bike helmet from the CIC. “This year we’re doing it differently, we’re putting all of the proceeds from this event to the Chichaqua Trail. We have been having a meeting every month on the trail and

our purpose behind it is to complete the loop.

When it was originally put in it was meant to be a 107 mile loop,” Joe Urius, owner of MOJO Cycling said.

Lose weight with a nutrient rich diet

By Deb Nilles RDN, LD Skiff Medical Center

It’s spring! That time of year when the bulky winter clothes get moved to the back of the closet. It’s also time to take ownership of any weight gained during the winter months. Need to lose a few pounds?

Start by getting back to the basics. Think nutrient rich rather than “good” or “bad” foods. The majority of your food choices should be packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber and other nutrients. These nutrient rich foods are generally lower in calories.

Here’s how to ramp up nutrition and pare down calories with nutrient dense foods.

Fill half your plate with vegetables and fruit Eat more dark green vegetables such as broccoli and leafy greens (limit salad dressing to one tablespoon) and orange vegetables including carrots and sweet potatoes.

Keep frozen, canned and dried fruit and vegetables on hand, especially when fresh produce isn’t in season. Buy canned

fruit that’s packed in juice for less added sugars and calories.

Texture is everything when it comes to sandwiches, so experiment with veggie toppings like raw cucumber and avocado slices instead of mayonnaise.

Add flavor to breakfast by topping oatmeal, or cereal with berries or banana slices instead of sugar. Skip the syrup and top frozen waffles with fruit. Create a low calorie dessert with fresh fruit or serve it as a topping on low-fat yogurt.

Eat at least half of all grains as whole grains The extra fiber may help fill you up, which will allow for lower calorie snack choices later on. Replace refined grains with whole-grain bread, cereal, pasta, brown rice or oats. For breakfast, choose steel cut oats instead of a plain low-fiber, refined cereal.

At lunch, have a sandwich or wrap on a whole-grain tortilla or whole-grain bread. For a snack, have whole-grain crackers with hummus or enjoy some airpopped popcorn.

With dinner, try brown rice or whole-grain noodles instead

of white rice or pasta made with white flour. Increase the whole grains in your diet gradually and with plenty of fluids.

Rely on lean meats, poultry, fish and beans for protein Select lean cuts of beef and pork. These are cuts with “loin” or “round” in their name. Remove all visible fat from meat before cooking, and take the skin off chicken or turkey before eating it.

Keep the portions of meat and poultry to an amount the size of the palm of your hand. Opt for extra-lean ground beef, turkey and chicken and drain the fat off after cooking before adding to a recipe. Eat at least two to three portions of fish a week.

Include more plant foods as sources of protein, including soybeans, pinto beans and lentils. Simply trade ¼ cup of beans for every ounce of meat you’d usually use. Beans are a healthy stand-in for meat in tacos, burritos, pasta, chili or stir-fries.

To manage your weight make smart food choices. The switch to nutrient dense foods may also improve your health.

Dental sealants provide smile protection Jasper County Dental Society Dentists note that with proper care and regular checkups, children’s teeth can last a lifetime. The Jasper County Dental Society has these tips for keeping your child’s teeth healthy and decay free.

Tooth decay is caused by germs. The germs are found in a sticky, colorless film called plaque. For tooth decay to occur, three elements are needed: plaque, food containing sugars and starches and a susceptible tooth.

When foods containing sugars and starches are left in the mouth, plaque bacteria produce acids that can dis-

solve tooth enamel. The sticky plaque holds these acids onto the teeth, where they attack the enamel. After repeated attacks, the enamel may break down, forming a cavity.

According to dentist recommendations, to prevent tooth decay, daily tooth brushing and flossing are needed to remove harmful plaque from your child’s teeth.

Children should clean their teeth twice a day with a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste. Flossing is also important because it will remove plaque that hides between the teeth and under the gum line, areas where a toothbrush can’t reach. Supervising your child while

brushing and flossing will insure that a proper job is done.

Dental sealants can help prevent or reduce tooth decay. A sealant is a clear or shaded plastic material that is applied to the chewing surfaces of the back teeth (pre-molars and molars), where decay occurs most often. The sealant acts as a barrier, protecting the decay-prone areas of the back teeth from plaque and acid.

Each tooth only takes a few minutes to seal in the dental office. When the sealant is applied, finger-like strands penetrate the pits and fissures of the tooth enamel. Although the sealant cannot always be seen with the naked

eye, the protective effect of these strands continues. Sealants are checked during your child’s regular dental visits to determine if reapplication is necessary.

For long-lasting, healthy smiles, the Jasper County Dental Society recommends a total prevention program including regular dental visits, the use of a fluoride toothpaste, daily brushing and flossing and avoiding frequent between-meal snacks. If these measures are followed and sealants are applied to the child’s teeth, the risk of decay can be reduced or may even be eliminated.

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

Changes Continued from Page 1A of the reconfiguration to be determined at a later date, but it won’t take place any earlier than the start of the 2016-17 school year.

Previously, both Padget and Perrenoud voted against designating the Berg Complex as a grades 5-8 facility at the board’s Feb. 9 meeting, and the motion was defeated, 4-3. That vote would have essentially started reconfiguration in motion, in some way, as Berg’s elementary half is currently grades K-3. Cook and Friedman also voted against the Berg 5-8 proposal at the Feb. 9 meeting. Neither Padget nor Perrenoud returned calls for comment by press time.

Perrenoud, during an earlier discussion about transitional kindergarten, asked how, if at all, kindergarten programs would be impacted if the district reconfigured. Director of Pre-K-8 Educational Services Jim Gilbert replied that most of the grade assignments aren’t necessarily based on space, and that a classroom full of students will need a place, regardless of what grade or title the class is given.

Padget asked many questions at Monday’s meeting. He noted how many comments were attached to a recent anti-Berg-5-8 petition were about a return to the longtime K-6 arrangement the NCSD abandoned in 2010 when Hough closed as a school. Padget asked

Chill-I Continued from Page 1A Jasper County Board of Supervisors on how to complete the trail.

After heading out from PJ’s, the ride will go through the community and end up at the Iowa Speedway. Cyclists will have the opportunity to ride around the track before picking one of three options to the ride, including staying at the track before heading back

Option 2 These numbers, which are for grades K-6, might be approximate or anticipated: • Four K-4 elementary schools (Hough, Aurora Heights, Jefferson, Woodrow Wilson) with about 274 students at each one. The elementary half of the Berg School Complex, perhaps to be called “Berg Intermediate,” will change to grades 5-6.

• Berg Middle School (grades 7-8) and Newton High School (9-12): No changes.

• Total teachers: 127.

• Core teachers: 78.

• Title I teachers: 7.

• Special education teachers: 22.

• Co-teaching: 12 (three at each school; Berg Intermediate would have 4).

• Level 2 or 3 Behavioral Disorder Special Ed teachers: 6.

• “Specials” teachers (P.E., music, etc): 20 (shared among schools).

• Collaboration: Interdisciplinary.

• Boundary changes needed: Yes. Superintendent Bob Callaghan if K-6 would be possible now.

“Anything is a possibility,” Callaghan said. “To have a K-6 would mandate only two sections for each grade level — maybe to squeeze a third one in at Berg. But it would be tough.”

to PJ’s.

“When you get out there on that track, it’s a big deal. It’s a lot of fun,” Urius said.

Those wanting to take the long route can go on an 18-mile loop past the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office and Animal Rescue League, with a cookie and hot chocolate stop in the middle, ending up on South Highway 74.

There, bikers can turn south and go to a new addition for the ride, Fore Seasons Golf Practice

There are about 22 classrooms in the Berg and Thomas Jefferson elementaries, 16 in the Emerson Hough building and in Woodrow Wilson, and 15 at Aurora Heights.

Cook later asked several questions about which options would utilize classrooms the best. She asked Callaghan if Option 3, which calls for two K-2 and two grades 3-4 elementaries and 5-6 at the Berg Complex, was possible with. Callaghan shook his head, as if to say “no.”

After the meeting, Callaghan explained he meant there cannot be six sections each of kindergarten and the first and second grades, as the 18 sections would exceed the number of classrooms currently at Hough, Wilson and Aurora Heights. At least one school would need to be physically reconfigured to add one or more new classrooms.

Five people signed up to speak during the public forum at Monday’s meeting. And all five spoke about reconfiguration. None of the five advocated for reconfiguring, making the meeting typical of any recent board meeting that addressed the topic.

Not only does Option 2 allow the district’s oldest building, Hough, to reassert itself as an everyday school, but it also solves transportation issues. “Neighborhood schools” mean less busing, and elementary transfer hubs might no longer be needed.

Newton and Smila have been sister cities for more than 20 years. That was when the Ukraine broke away from the USSR and it was why the organization was formed, OPEN board member Jane Johnson said.

Over the years, the two towns have developed a true partnership through numerous exchange students, professional development and personal visits.

As conflict continues to strife eastern Ukraine, its trouble has a great impact throughout all parts of the country.

More than one million people have fled eastern Ukraine, according to the United Nations, and that number from last year. Many are going home or to other Ukrainian cities, such as Smila. The hospitals are in need of supplies, residents are in need of goods and the government does not have the means to supply in crisis.

“Mobilization has affected all regions of the country and a lot are giving everything they have but its not enough,” Johnson said.

The economy is also affected. The price of goods is going drastically up, and adequate food and housing have become a problem as well.

OPEN will be using proceeds from its fall dinner fundraiser as well as the money raised from the Sunday event for its sister city Smila. The event is not only intended to help friends in Smila but also to provide a fun and cultural experience for local residents.

The event is freewill donation at the door.

Familyowned: A tale of two stores

By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | March 26, 2015

Shop small is a slogan and movement most Iowans understand and strive to live toward.

We all find ourselves lost in the 50-aisle maze that is Walmart from time to time, but inside there is a burning desire to support local entrepreneurs.

For those who follow my column this will be a bit of old news, but for first time readers let me bring folks up to speed. My car recently met its demise in twisted metal glory with a $13,000 price tag. The pickup which collided with my parked car in downtown Colfax did so in convincing fashion, leaving its three-quarter-ton calling card on my late-Ford Fiesta’s rear end. Needless to say, I’ve been in the market for a car.

First, let me preface my coming statements by saying I am not a critic nor do I ever intend to review anything except possibly the next installment of “Star Wars” when it’s released in December.

But in purchasing a vehicle last week, I’ve discovered a business

owner’s level of involvement in daily operations matters.

I bought a certified used Chevy Cruize to replace my defunct automobile. It has low mileage, a midnight blue paint job, and the price was right. But it was my locally-owned shopping experience that truly made the difference.

I worked with two car dealers in my search. Both hold deep routed history in the Des Moines area, and have quite recognizable names. One is still a single owner/ family business, while the other was sold in the past decade and now has corporate ownership.

The newly-corporate dealer was the place my family purchased vehicles for decades. My grandparents would look nowhere else to find their pickups and touring cars. But after its sale the new management laid off some of the old guard, including a salesman who sold my family more than 15 cars throughout his career. I was not surprised when I began my search that this particular dealer-

ship was not communicative and quite pushy when they would return my calls.

I actually began to search for vehicles a week prior to the accident, and it was only after the collision — when the sales clerk knew I needed transportation quickly — he began to relentlessly call. Prior to this revelation, he always seemed to be too busy on the lot for my voice message.

The family-owned dealer was different. The young 20-something who approached me while I peered through the slightly tinted window of my Cruize was pleasant and relatable. We joked about being collegiate rivals: me a Hawkeye, he a Cyclone. We laughed about his post-college living arrangement, sharing a house with a few friends to save money. It reminded me of my not-so-long-ago Iowa City house shared with my brother and a good buddy.

The finance guy was realistic with me and made no false

promises. He was a quasi-retired old-timer who reminded me of my girlfriend’s dad. I appreciated his candor. He even offered to schedule a meeting with the dealership owner if I would like to discuss the car with him prior to the purchase. For me, that was a first.

But that’s shopping small.

When you buy local — whether it’s a car, groceries or a vintage/ rustic knickknack — you know where your product originates.

Shopping local means knowing how and where your food was grown, the dreams of the kid who stocked the shelf and the college of your car dealer.

In Iowa and in Jasper County ,we are surrounded by folks who’ve rented a small building on the town square to live their dream of self-reliance and own a business in which they believe.

Find your comfort zone and shop small.

Nursing care for hard-to-place Iowans Iowa’s long-term care services receive high praise for quality and affordability. In fact, Iowa’s long-term care services are ranked 13th best in the nation in the AARP’s most recent LongTerm Care Scorecard.

H o w e v e r , By Chaz Allen Iowa has strug- Iowa Senator gled to find appropriate nursing facility placements for sex offenders and those who are aggressive or violent, as well as older Iowans who require psychiatric services and nursing home care. Unfortunately, there have been cases in which staff and other residents have been harmed, and facilities have been fined for not providing adequate

security when caring for these individuals.

Providing long-term care for sex offenders and those who are aggressive or violent is costly. It requires special training, security and insurance coverage.

The Legislature has attempted to research the issue, most recently in 2013 when a study committee was approved by the Legislature but vetoed by Governor Branstad. At the Governor’s direction, the departments of Corrections, Human Services and Inspections & Appeals created an informal workgroup that met over the last couple of years but produced no policy or funding recommendations.

It’s time we find real solutions to the problem. The Mental Health Institute in Clarinda is the only existing facility in Iowa that accepts these patients.

The governor’s call to close the

Clarinda facility makes this issue even more urgent.

Last week, the Senate unanimously approved SF 386, which requests the Legislative Council establish a study committee to look at the feasibility of establishing facilities to provide long-term care and treatment for those who are sexually aggressive, combative or in need of psychiatric services designed specifically for older Iowans.

The study committee must hear testimony from interested stakeholders and the public; develop recommendations for a facility to care for and treat these hard-to-place individuals; consider workforce recruitment and compensation issues; and determine how to cover the expected costs. A report of the committee’s findings and recommendations is due to the Legislature by Jan. 1, 2016.

Last month, I wrote an article on marijuana use.

I cited information from t h e American Institute of Drug Abuse and a nationw i d e coalition of h i g h By Curt Swarm s c h o o l Guest Columnist s t u dents. To summarize the report: Marijuana is a highly addictive substance and the most common illegal drug involved in auto fatalities. It can have negative effects on attention, memory, and learning. It is linked to depression and anxiety, and can lower an individual’s I.Q. I received a barrage of feedback, both positive and negative, by phone, text and email. The negative feedback was, of course, belligerent and threatening. I got the distinct impression that the negative feedback was coming from actual marijuana users who may have been high at the time.

While this was going on, I made a whirlwind trip to Colorado to visit a sick friend. Along the way, I picked up the sick friend’s brother here in Iowa, and took him along.

Recreational use of marijuana is legal in Colorado. The brother, who rode along with me, has a number of health issues involving pain. So, he was looking forward to the trip to Colorado for more than one reason.

The first thing the brother wanted to do upon arrival in Colorado was find a “head shop.” I was curious, and tagged along for the experience. I was amazed by the whole scene.

Non-Colorado residents are allowed to purchase a small quantity of marijuana. The head shops have “marijuana advisers” to assist in the purchase and make recommendations. Just the aroma in the head shop alone was enough to knock me out.

After the visit to the

head shop, the brother decided he needed a new pipe. We went to a paraphernalia shop. I stayed in the car. While in the car waiting, my mind raced.

“Aw, go ahead and have some weed. What’s it gonna hurt? No one will know. It’s legal here. Yeah but, you know the craving will start, and when we get back to Iowa where it’s not legal, you’ll turn to alcohol for the high.

You wanna blow 25 years of sobriety?” I reached in my pocket and pulled out my sobriety medallion.

The first thing I saw was “To Thine Own Self Be True.” Ah, I had my answer.

We visited my sick friend. He has a roommate who is on disability and has a medical prescription for marijuana.

The roommate smokes pot all day long. That’s all he does. He doesn’t work, he doesn’t do anything except zone out in front of the TV and smoke pot. The brother and this roommate got along real well.

It was time for me to come back to Iowa. I had spent the time I needed with my sick friend. The brother decided to stay.

Shock shock. He would take a bus back. I drove home alone.

The next week I called the brother to see if he had made it home. It was the middle of the day. The phone rang and rang. Finally, a groggy voice answered. It was the brother. He seemed confused as to why I was calling. Yes, he was still in Colorado. No, he didn’t know when he was coming home.

That was six weeks ago. The brother is still there. In weed heaven.

His wife and family back in Iowa are fit to be tied.

I rest my case.

Short-cut cooking is source of guilt for busy new wife DEAR ABBY: I am a full-time working woman, part-time student and new wife to an incredible husband. We’re in our mid-20s and have been living together for a year, but I have a problem that I’m still unsure about.

Growing up I never learned to cook. The first meal I ever made was spaghetti when my husband (then fiance) and I moved into our home.

My issue is, I HATE cooking. I don’t have the patience for it and neither does my husband.

Should I be ashamed that I indulge in “box” dinners that take little time to prepare? Naturally, I cook meat and vegetables to go along with them, but is it shameful when a wife doesn’t cook everything from scratch?

My husband doesn’t mind, but I worry. Shouldn’t a wife cook real meals for her husband? — NEW WIFE IN NORTH CAROLINA DEAR NEW WIFE: Because many couples both work, many husbands and wives take turns cooking or prepare dinner together. (“Honey, I’ll do the salad and vegetables; you fix the chicken/fish/chops on the grill.”) The problem with prepackaged meals is that many of them contain more sodium and/or other additives that nutritionists say are bad for one’s health when consumed on a regular basis, so I think you do have cause for concern. The most important ingredient in a lasting marriage is a partner who lasts, so if you want yours to last, be vigilant about what you put in your stomachs.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 29-year-old woman and I have been with my fiance, “Gary,” for three years. We became engaged six months ago.

When I brought up wedding ideas recently, Gary responded with, “There are things that have to be resolved before I can even think about

getting married.” In the discussion that followed, he said I need to get a better-paying job so I can contribute to the renovations on the house, buy my own personal items and have a shorter commute.

I’m hurt because I believe marriage is about committing to the person you love. I also realize you can’t live on love alone. Am I overly sensitive about this? Is Gary’s request reasonable, or do you think he’s just looking for an excuse not to get married?

— LOVE ABOVE ALL IN NEW YORK DEAR LOVE ABOVE ALL: Pay attention to what your fiance said because it appears he has unilaterally mapped out your future for you. This sounds less like a request to me than a demand. Open your eyes and keep talking with him.

Did he specify whether your name will be on the deed to the house you will contribute to renovating? (I hope so.) I also hope you will be lucky enough to find a higher-paying job with a shorter commute, because not everyone is able to do that.

Because I believe in both love and practicality, I think it’s important you and Gary have premarital counseling together to clarify whether you’re on the same page regarding finances.

GRIMES — The death of an Oskaloosa woman who was found in a creek near a wrecked car last month has been ruled an accident. The Polk County Sheriff ’s Office said Wednesday that the cause of 45-year-old Sallie West’s death was determined to be fresh water drowning, with hypothermia and acute ethanol intoxication as contributing factors. Police found a car submerged in a creek on Feb. 27 near Grimes with no one inside. West’s body was later discovered nearby, but not immediately identified.

Kaybe L. Bullock, 38, had pleaded guilty to a federal charge of conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance. Charges of possession with intent to distribute a controlled substance and felon in possession of a firearm were dropped as part of her plea agreement.

Iowa lawmakers vary in how much contact info they post The Associated Press DES MOINES — Iowa lawmakers say proposed legislation requiring some elected officials to post more contact information online is aimed at transparency — though it’s not expected to change the centralized system in the state Legislature, where lawmakers vary in how much information they provide.

The House unanimously passed a bill Wednesday that would require whoever runs a government entity’s website to post a telephone number and an email for an elected public official within 30 days of the person being sworn in. Public of-

ficials are defined in the measure as lawmakers, county board supervisors, city council members and board members of a school district.

In the Iowa Legislature — where lawmakers do not have offices at the Capitol or state-funded cellphones — more than 60 members in the 100-seat House have a Capitol switchboard number listed as the main telephone number on their Legislature website profile, along with a work email.

A person who calls the switchboard from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday could be connected to a lawmaker at his or her desk at the chamber. If

the lawmaker is away, the caller is directed to a voicemail that is eventually forwarded in an audio file to the lawmaker’s email. Outside those hours during the legislative session, an automated message directs callers to the Iowa Legislature website.

Nearly all 50 members of the Senate have a cellphone or home number posted on their website profile, though two senators have no number listed at all.

There is currently no law that requires lawmakers to post certain contact information.

Some House and Senate lawmakers also post links to private websites, but they vary over additional information.

They call it ‘Stormy Tuesday’

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Now in its fourth year, the Blues in Our Schools program brought this year’s artist, Billy Branch of the Chicago group “Sons of Blues,” to Jasper County this week. Branch performed and taught a historical blues lesson at Newton’s Thomas Jefferson and Aurora Heights elementary schools on Tuesday, and was set to play in Colfax on Wednesday.

Branch is scheduled to be at Baxter on Thursday, at Newton’s Berg Elementary on Friday morning and at Woodrow Wilson Elementary on Friday afternoon. This year’s program is sponsored by PTA organizations, Holiday Inn Express and the South Skunk Blues Society.

Bruner Continued from Page 1A One of the more dramatic moments of the day came when Hale broke down on the witness stand after being asked by defense attorney Ross Rhoades whose cellphone was used to take the picture of her and Moore that was posted on Facebook and led to the shooting.

The question drew a lengthy pause and sobbing from the witness during which Moore’s mother became upset, stood up suddenly and left the courtroom. The victim’s brother followed her out into the hallway, and Circuit Judge Gayle Crane called a recess to allow the witness to regain her composure and return to the stand.

Hale then testified that Moore asked a woman behind them in the ticket line at the theater complex to take the photo.

“The picture was taken by Derek’s phone, and he uploaded it to Facebook,” she said.

The defense called Hale as a witness in an effort to show that her infidelity played a significant role in the shooting. Under direct examination by Rhoades, she acknowledged three previous affairs while married to Bruner.

She also acknowledged having moved just a couple of weeks before the shooting and having begun dating Moore.

She said she told Bruner

Roger Nomerd/Joplin Globe Dawn Michelle Hale wipes away tears after being shown a photo of her and Derek Moore in the ticket line at the movie theater on the night Moore was shot and killed by her husband, Jeffrey Bruner. Hale (her maiden name) was testifying Wednesday in Bruner’s trial in Jasper County Circuit Court in Joplin.

she was in another relationship.

“Did you at any time prior to Nov. 1, 2013, tell your husband that you were having a sexual relationship with this fellow you told him you were having a relationship with?” Rhoades asked.

“No,” she said.

Jeffrey Bruner testified his wife had four affairs prior to her involvement with Moore.

There had been a friend of theirs when they lived in Springfield, a couple of deputies when she worked as a reserve officer in the Lawrence County Sheriff ’s Department and a fellow officer while working for MSSU campus police.

Each had been a source of stress for him because his Baptist

faith had instilled the belief “that marriage is between a man and a woman for lifetime,” he said. But she always ended up telling him about the affairs and would apologize, and he always forgave her, he told the court.

But she moved out in the middle of October 2013, telling him that there wasn’t anyone else and she wasn’t planning to divorce him. She said she just “needed space,” he testified. He said he actually was over at her apartment as often as she would let him in the couple of weeks prior to the shooting and even slept with her there two or three nights.

The defendant testified that while she had mentioned going to lunch with a coach at

MSSU, he took that as an innocent interaction with a co-worker and not the start of another affair. He said he did not even know who Moore was before the night of the shooting.

Bruner acknowledged being “stunned” by the photo posted on Facebook in which Moore had an arm around his wife and both were smiling. But he denied making the statements his 14-year-old daughter had testified that he made in reaction to the photo.

“I was hurt,” he said.

“I was angry. I felt betrayed.”

He said he told his daughter that what her mother was doing was wrong. But he denied saying to her that he was going to kill a man, that

he would be going to jail and that by the end of the night, she would no longer have either a mother or a father.

Bruner said what he actually told her was something like: “It’s not like I’m going to kill the guy.” He said the statement was made in a semi-joking manner and that he’d said in a similar tone that it would be just like her mother to try to put him in jail.

Kent Franks, a psychologist who interviewed, tested and evaluated the defendant in December, testified that he believes Bruner suffered an acute stress disorder when he confronted his wife and Moore outside the theater. He described the disorder as an abnormal stress reaction to a life-threatening situation. He said such reactions involve depersonalization and dissociation, psychological terms for sensations of being in a surreal environment, removing yourself from a situation as it is happening and watching yourself act from a distance.

Franks said that at the moment that the defendant was experiencing this acute stress disorder, his ability to deliberate would have been significantly diminished.

Bruner told the court that Moore, who was much larger than him, kept backing him up as he tried to talk to his wife outside the theater and kept asking: “Who the [expletive] are you?”

He said his wife stepped

between them, put her hand on Moore’s chest as Moore told him: “I’m not from here, [expletive.] I’ll have your throat slit within two hours.”

Franks testified that he believes the defendant’s moment of dissociation began with that threat.

Assistant Prosecutor Norman Rouse asked the psychologist if the daughter’s testimony that the photo made her father angry and that his subsequent actions of going home to get two fully loaded handguns and even a spare clip and take them with him to the theater complex do not suggest that he was acting out of anger and not fear.

“But I believe his predominant emotion was fear,” Franks said in response.

Bruner claimed Moore made “some kind of motion” turning toward him a final time and saying: “You don’t know who you’re [expletive] messing with.”

The defendant said it appeared to him to be “a fighting stance” with his hands.

“Are you telling the jury now that because Derek Moore put his hands up, you shot him?”

Rouse asked.

“I’m just telling you what I feared,” the defendant said.

The defense has yet to rest in the trial, which is set to resume at 10:30 a.m. Thursday in Jasper County Circuit Court in Joplin.

US, Iran nuke talks enter critical round ahead of deadline LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Nuclear negotiations between the United States and Iran entered a critical phase on Thursday with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry meeting his Iranian counterpart less than a week away from an end-ofmonth deadline to secure the outline of a deal.

With the clock ticking, Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and their teams huddled Thursday in the Swiss resort town of Lausanne on Lake Geneva trying to overcome still sig-

nificant gaps after nearly two years of negotiations between Iran and the five permanent members of the U.N. Security Council and Germany. The top diplomats from Britain, China, France, Germany and Russia are expected to join the talks if the U.S. and Iran are close to an agreement.

U.S. officials say the March 31 deadline is achievable but remains uncertain. En route to Switzerland with Kerry on Wednesday, one official said the American side “can see a path forward to get to agreement” by the

end of March as the last round of talks produced more progress than many previous rounds. The official was not authorized to discuss the talks by name and spoke on condition of anonymity.

The Iranian side was more upbeat. Ali Akbar Salehi, Tehran’s top nuclear official, told Iran’s IRNA news agency that the talks have already reached a “common understanding” on technical issues. Salehi, who also is at the talks, added he was optimistic that a comprehensive deal also was within reach.

Alone at controls, co-pilot sought to ‘destroy’ the plane

By Lori Hinnant & Dave McHugh Associated Press PARIS (AP) — The co-pilot of the doomed Germanwings jet barricaded himself in the cockpit and “intentionally” sent the plane full speed into a mountain in the French Alps, ignoring the pilot’s frantic pounding on the door and the screams of terror from passengers, a prosecutor said Thursday.

Co-pilot Andreas Lubitz’s “intention (was) to destroy this plane,” Marseille prosecutor Brice Robin said, laying out the horrifying conclusions reached

by French aviation investigators after listening to the last minutes of Tuesday’s Flight 9525.

to descend from cruising altitude of 38,000 feet after losing radio contact with air traffic controllers. All 150 on board died when the plane slammed into the mountain.

Robin said the pilot, who has not been identified, left the cockpit, presumably to go to the lavatory, and then was unable to regain access.

In the meantime, Lubitz, a 28-year-old German, manually set the plane on the descent that drove it into the mountain.

Robin said the commander of the plane knocked several times “without response.” He said the door could only be blocked manually.

“The most plausible, the most probably, is that the co-pilot voluntarily refused to open the door of the cockpit for the captain and pressed the button for the

descent,” Robin said.

He said the co-pilot’s responses, initially courteous in the first part of the trip, became “curt” when the captain began the mid-flight briefing on the planned landing.

The information was pulled from the black box cockpit voice recorder, but Robin said the co-pilot said nothing from the moment the commanding pilot left.

“It was absolute silence in the cockpit,” he said.

During the final minutes of the flight’s descent, pounding could be heard on the cockpit door as plane alarms sounded but the co-pilot’s breathing was normal the whole time, Robin said.

“It’s obvious this co-pilot took advantage of the commander’s absence. Could he have known he would leave?

It is too early to say,” he said.

NEW YORK (AP) — A new book of photos by legendary photographer Weegee shows what industrialized, pre-gentrified New York looked like in the mid-20th century, before the city was crammed with towers and billboards.

Weegee, whose real name was Arthur Fellig, was famous for sensational but artfully composed blackand-white pictures of crime scenes, fires and other urban mayhem. “The Weegee Guide to New York” includes a few of those tabloid-worthy photos of bodies sprawled on the pavement. But most of the book’s images are of ordinary neighborhoods and streetscapes with low-rise buildings, bulky cars, empty skies and remarkably uncluttered public spaces.

A 1940 photo of Lower Manhattan, shot at night from across the river near the Brooklyn Bridge, is dominated by a mere three skyscrapers, a shocking contrast to the forest of towers now surrounding 1 World Trade.

A 1946 image shows a fire in a loft building at Fulton and Greenwich streets. The intersection would be unrecognizable to Weegee today: It’s the site of the 9/11 Memorial and museum.

A 1952 picture shows the stately, pristine stone facade of One Times Square, where a spire on the roof is still used for the New Year’s Eve ball drop. Today the building’s exterior is covered with billboards. But Weegee’s 1957 view of Times Square does show neon ads, including now-outmoded brands like Admiral TV appliances alongside still-familiar names like Budweiser.

Other photos, lined up with contemporary views of the same spot, are surprisingly unchanged — like a 1939 scene in Little Italy where small shops still line the sidewalks. A 1953 photo shows Humphrey Bogart on the marquee of the Victory movie theater, home now to the New Victory, which specializes in children’s entertainment.

The photos in the book are organized by neighborhood, with maps and locations for each, including which direction Weegee was facing when he took the picture. The information makes it easy to compare images with how the city looks today — either by walking around or by going on Google Street View.

“The classic New York skyline has changed dramatically since Weegee’s day, and the flurry of often mundane building construction over the last decades has obscured many of New York’s iconic skyscrapers,” said Philomena Mariani, director of publications at the International Center of Photography, who compiled the book with another ICP staff member, Christopher George.

ICP owns 20,000 Weegee images, but for this book, Mariani said, “We were looking for pictures that showed something of New York’s built environment and public life,” including images of crowds gathered for celebrations and shoppers waiting for rationed goods.

Mariani said she hopes the book, published by Prestel, will get people thinking not only about “how different the urban landscape is physically,” but also about “the public life that existed through the mid-20th century that Weegee captured.”

Weegee died in 1968.

Raiders, Royals continue athletic sharing on links

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News The athletic sharing agreement that has formed the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter Raiders is one of the more unique situations in the entire state.

Coaches are often required to shuttle kids from one town or school to another by van or bus, but both districts work together to make it work the best they can.

One can only imagine how much more interesting and challenging things can get when you add another school district to the mix.

CMB has added Colo-NESCO to its girls’ soccer program in recent years and last year the Raiders and Royals combined to form one girls’ golf team.

This season, the boys’ golf teams join forces with the hopes to keep things competitive for everyone involved.

“To me, the sharing agreement comes because of numbers,” girls golf coach Eric Padget said. “Last year’s CMB/Colo-NESCO girls team had just four golfers. It’s hard to compete as a team with that many players.”

Padget’s experience as a golf coach has been an interesting one. He was the CMB boys’ golf coach last year and also served as an assistant for the girls’ shared squad.

This year, the new setup hasn’t been easy, but Padget said it would be much worse if he were still coaching basketball, a more team-oriented sport.

“Because it’s golf and because golf is more of an individual sport, the way things are set up isn’t a huge deal,” Padget said.

So how exactly are things set up?

“I leave Baxter at 3 p.m. every day with the golfers, and I go pick up the golfers from Collins-Maxwell and together we head to Twin Anchors Golf Course in Colo,” Padget said. “The girls’ golfers from Colo-NESCO are usually done with their warm-up before we get there. At that point, the CMB girls begin their warm-up, and I work on the daily drill with the C-N girls. Then, the C-N girls go home and I work on the daily drill with the CMB girls.”

Unfortunately, it’s a set-up that doesn’t allow for much team bonding between the three school districts.

Padget said the team of seven girls has practiced together just twice in the first two weeks of practice.

“It isn’t ideal, but we make it work,” Padget said.

The boys program is led by head coach Dana Accola, who is a teacher at Colo-NESCO. But his situation is

much different than Padget’s.

He has a total of 17 golfers, two from Baxter, six from Collins-Maxwell and nine from Colo-NESCO. Padget brings the CMB golfers to him, and with so many golfers, he is able to stagger several different groups throughout the course.

“We coordinated the transportation into the sharing agreement,” Accola said. “It’s definitely a group effort, and we just need to be flexible with our practices.”

Accola is in his third year as a head boys’ golf coach and while he’s never had a situation as unique as CMB’s, he has dealt with a similar setup in previous years.

Men’s Sweet 16 play begins Thursday

By Jim O’Connell AP Basketball Writer When the NCAA Tournament reaches the Sweet 16, that means there are only 15 games left to decide a national champion.

Kentucky needs to win four of those games to become the first undefeated champion since Indiana in 1976.

The Wildcats improved to 36-0 — the best start to a season for any team — with a workmanlike win over Cincinnati.

Next up in the Midwest Regional semifinal is West Virginia, another team that will come right at Kentucky and try to force turnovers, the Mountaineers’ trademark this season.

The East Region changed dramatically entering the Sweet 16 with top seeds Villanova and Virginia ousted. It’s the first time since 2004 — and eighth time ever — that the top two teams from one region failed to advance to the second week.

The Atlantic Coast Conference and Pac-12

entered the round of 32 as the only leagues with three or more teams not to lose a game. The ACC is 11-1 with Virginia’s loss to Michigan State the only blemish.

The Pac-12 is 7-1 following Oregon’s loss to top-seeded Wisconsin.

Here are some story lines to watch as the Sweet 16 approaches: Rematch Replays: Two of the eight games in the regional semifinals will be rematches from the regular season.

UCLA and Gonzaga met on Dec. 13 in Los Angeles, and the thenNo. 9 Zags came away with an 87-74 victory.

Kyle Wiltjer scored 24 points and Byron Wesley added 20 points for Gonzaga.

Bryce Alford scored 23 points and Isaac Hamilton added 18 for UCLA. Louisville and North Carolina State met in an ACC game on Feb. 14 and the visiting Wolfpack prevailed 7465. Cat Barber had 21 SWEET 16 | 2B

“I don’t know much different really,” Accola said. “NESCO stands for Northeast Story County and the community is made up of several small towns. We have schools in Colo, Zearing and McCallsburg, and I have served as a fill-in bus driver before.”

While numbers may have been the driving force, finances also may have played a role in the agreement.

If CMB and Colo-NESCO did not share a program, both squads would have to pay separate green fees. The sharing agreement allows those fees to now be split three ways.

But it’s not the first time CMB and Colo-NESCO have come together on an athletic surface.

The CMB girls soccer team has allowed Colo-NESCO student-athletes to join its team for the past two seasons, and this year, the Raiders even added players from West Marshall.

That transportation agreement is different yet from the golf teams.

But the moral of the story is that each community is doing what it has to do to stay competitive in sports that may be lacking for numbers.

And that gives the students from each community the best possible athletic experience.

Sweet 61: Carr’s tourney scoring record stands test of time CLEVELAND (AP) — Austin Carr never imagined his record would last five years. It has stood for 45.

“It’s been that long?” he said. “Yeah, that does surprise me.”

On March 7, 1970, Carr, Notre Dame’s unguardable guard, set the NCAA Tournament record by scoring 61 points in a 112-82 first-round win over Ohio in Dayton. Since then, Carr’s massive mark has endured rule changes (there was no 3-pointer), the tournament’s expansion and the madness of many a March.

On the list of seemingly “unbreakable” sports records — Joe DiMaggio’s 56-game hitting streak, Cal Ripken’s 2,632-consecutive game streak, Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game come to mind— Carr’s could elbow in for room near the top.

No one has challenged 61, just three fewer points than unbeaten Kentucky scored on Saturday in its win against Cincinnati. The closest threat was Navy’s David Robinson, who scored 50 against Michigan in 1987.

Carr actually holds three of the top 5 scoring games in NCAA Tournament history. Following the win over Ohio, he scored 52 in a victory over Kentucky and had another 52-point performance the next year against TCU. The No. 1 overall draft pick in 1971 by Cleveland, Carr averaged an incredible 52.7 points in the 1970 tourney and his career tournament scoring average of 41.3 (seven games) is easily the highest.

Princeton’s Bill Bradley is next at 33.7.

For Carr, who spent nine of his 11 seasons in

Sweet 16 Continued from Page 1B points for N.C. State, which held Louisville to 33 percent shooting and outscored the Cardinals 3216 in the paint.

Sweet Seeds: The West Regional will be the toughest of the four in the Sweet 16 if you believe the seeds.

Top-seeded Wisconsin will play No. 4 North Carolina and second-seeded Arizona will face No. 6 Xavier in Los Angeles, a total of 13 when the seedings are added.

The Midwest is second with 16 (No. 1 Kentucky vs. No. 5 West Virginia and No. 3 Notre Dame vs. No. 7 Wichita State), while the South is next with 19 (No. 1 Duke vs. No. 5 Utah and No. 2 Gonzaga vs. No. 11 UCLA).

The last of the regionals is the East where third-seeded Oklahoma meets No. 7 Michigan State and No. 4 Louisville faces eighth-seeded North Carolina State, a total of 22.

Special K: When the coaches shake hands before the DukeUtah Sweet 16 game, it will be between two men with a lot in

the NBA playing for the Cavaliers, the majestic 61 remains a source of pride.

“It’s a good feeling to have the record,” Carr said last week. “But at the same time, I was always told records are made to be broken so I don’t really get caught up in that. But I’m amazed that it has lasted that long.”

Maybe more amazing is what Carr would have done if there had been a 3-point line. While many of his baskets came off layups and short jumpers, he drained a few long-range shots.

“I was told by a guy who went back through and broke down the game that I would have scored 73,” Carr said, smiling. “I Carr could have scored 73.”

Carr’s record might be untouchable in today’s game for several reasons.

First, teams play more sophisticated defenses designed to stop scorers — or at least slow them down.

Advancements in technology allow coaches to have advanced scouting reports on teams. The more film on a player, the easier it is to expose their flaws.

common.

Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and Utah’s Larry Krystkowiak probably lead the NCAA in name typos.

“I don’t know how many times two Polish coaches will go against one another, where both of us are called Coach K, but he’s a good friend,” Krzyzewski said of Krystkowiak.

Sparty’s Party: Michigan State under Tom Izzo has become as familiar in the Sweet 16 as the guys in a school band wearing enough face paint to cover a garage.

The Spartans have reached the regional semifinals for the seventh time in the last eight years. They will face Oklahoma in Syracuse, New York.

Izzo has a 13-1 record in games in the round of 32. He was surprised a bit that this team won its second game to move on.

“We’ve been a team all year that has banged around, probably lost more games than we should have just because of the freethrow situation or dumb coaching with 2, 3 seconds left to go in the game and people hitting threes and tying it,” Izzo said.

“But I think we’ve had to earn

every single thing we’ve gotten because every game’s been like that. So I think they felt comfortable in a game because that’s the way not their whole tournament has gone or the Big Ten Tournament, their whole season has gone that way. I’m really proud of this team. I don’t use that word lightly when I speak and I am.”

Kentucky’s Chase: The topranked Wildcats showed in the round of 32 why they are the even-money favorite to win the whole thing.

In their win over Cincinnati, the Wildcats shot just 37 percent and were outrebounded 45-38.

There really wasn’t a point in the game when Kentucky felt threatened about its winning streak and the 64-51 win was the Wildcats’ 29th of 36 by at least 10 points.

“I always like it when my team shoots 37, 36, 35 percent and wins in double digits,” Kentucky coach John Calipari said. “It shows them they don’t have to make shots to win. You can miss them all. No, you can’t miss them all. You can miss most of them, and you can still win games if you defend, you rebound and you play that way, make your free throws, and they did.”

Also, it’s rare to find any college team who relies so heavily on one player to carry an offense. Carr averaged 38.1 points in 1970. For comparison’s sake, Wisconsin All-American Frank Kaminsky averaged 18.4 this season for the Badgers.

“The style of game has changed where coaches now have three guys do what one guy did,” said Carr, a longtime TV broadcaster for the Cavs.

The 6-foot-4 Carr, equally devastating inside and outside, knew early on he was in for a big game against the Bobcats. The Fighting Irish geared their offense around the unstoppable Carr and he had 20 points in the first nine minutes and 35 at halftime. Here’s a reel of Carr’s performance: youtu.be/ULXHcoutilw .

“The ball was flowing,” Carr said. “Most of my game was without the ball and Jackie Meehan, our point guard, he would get you the ball right where you could do something with it, and that night we were just clicking right away and the ball was feeling good going in and I just kept going.”

Carr made 25 of 44 shots from the field, 11 of 14 from the line.

With his team comfortably ahead late, Notre Dame coach Johnny Dee wanted to substitute for Carr at about the same time the All-American learned he was only a few points from breaking Bradley’s tournament record of 58 points.

“I was about three or four points away from it and he said, ‘We’ve got the game won, I gotta get you out,’” Carr recalled. “I said, ‘Welp, I guess I better try to get it then.’”

He got it, and the record could last another 45 years.

Astrograph

Venus exploring the early part of Taurus tunes us in to the many ways we can fill our experience with beautiful sights, sounds, tastes, smells and physical feelings. This sensual passage also has a way of making us think that these pleasures are worth whatever amount money is being asked for them. True quality cannot be bought.

EMPLOYMENT

forward with an exciting venture. You’ll become a leader at work in August. Taurus and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 47, 33, 50, 41 and 13.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Try new things, even if you’re pretty sure you won’t like them. A too-limiting belief about what kind of person you are will restrict the range of experiences you could be enjoying.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The rotten-apple theory suggests it only takes one to spoil the bunch. Someone who lacks integrity is a danger to the group. Take courage and stand

up against those who are on the wrong path.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

If your mood dips, your mind may become occupied with concerns that weren’t there when you were feeling good. Keep worry at bay by continuing to do the things that contribute to a high level of positive energy.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The old rule won’t apply, and the new rule hasn’t been made yet. While things are in flux, take this opportunity to shake things up. Bonus: You’ll expand your network in the process.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Just because someone is not on your wavelength doesn’t mean

or stop by 214 1st Ave. E., Newton you shouldn’t at least try to communicate. Your efforts to connect will be meaningful and will lead to gains in the distant future.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

If you don’t act when you see the opportunity, someone with less experience and wisdom will. Take initiative. It won’t be as much work as you think, and you’ll get help once you commit.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

While your community service may be commendable, today your compassion will not be measured by the degree to which you knock yourself out to help others. It is better assessed by the kindness you afford yourself.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

To get to happiness, you do not always have to go through the dark forest of unhappiness.

It helps that you’ve been there before and already understand the contrast. Avoid the forest, and try a new path.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Overnight success is a matter of preparation, the likes of which takes years, not hours, to cultivate. Continue doing the work in good faith.

Keep a strong grip on your optimism, as it’s one of your best qualities.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’re an independent with your own ideas about how things should unfold.

If you dare to stand alone, you won’t be alone for long,

mainly because you’re right.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You may not start out in an optimum mood, but you can get there with a little work.

Remember how you overcame your last big challenge. Review the steps you took. You will learn from yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Someone should only be able to hurt you once. If you get hurt by the same person twice, it means that on some level you’re agreeing to it. You can be friendly and loving and still stay inside your own emotional boundaries.
