A Reasnor home is a complete loss following a Monday morning fire.

The home, located at 322 North St. next to the Reasnor volunteer fire department, is owned by Bryce and Karla Van Gorp, who have lived there since 1992.

Karla Van Gorp was home at the time the fire broke out. She said she was in the bathroom when she heard a pop and saw smoke. She immediately exited the home, even forgetting to put on shoes.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Crews work to fully extinguish the flames of the 322 North St. Reasnor home.

Mom in child neglect case gets deferred judgment

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News A former Newton woman whose 1-yearold son tested positive for methamphetamine was celebrated as a rehabilitated success story during a sentencing hearing Monday at the Jasper County Courthouse.

Vanessa L. Trotter, 23, received a deferred judgment and two years of probation after pleading guilty to neglect of a dependent person.

Trotter was charged last April when a hair sample from her son revealed the drug in his system. The child tested five times higher for meth than Trotter.

She and Cody A. Sanders, 28, were originally

WHERE IT’S AT 75 CENTS

DES MOINES — Staff attorneys for the Iowa Utilities Board told the agency’s three regulators Monday they feel Dakota Access, LLC is in ‘substantial compliance’ with most stipulations the company must meeting before construction can begin on a 343-mile crude oil pipeline segment in Iowa.

The IUB met in open session in Des Moines to hear the Texas-based company’s progress on construction permit requirements set out for the Dakota Access pipeline.

Staff attorneys said changes to an agricultural impact mitigation plan, the purchase of a $25 million insurance requirement, parental company financial grantees, and establishing construction timeline notifications all satisfied the conditions set by the IUB when it ruled March 10 in a 3-0 vote in favor of allowing Dakota Access to build the pipeline through 18 Iowa Counties.

Once completed, the pipeline would stretch from the Bakken Oil Fields in North Dakota to a hub Patoka, Ill. The pipeline would carry 570,000 barrels of crude oil per day through the state. Dakota Access parent company Energy Transfer Partners is hoping to lay the pipe underground in Iowa, with 33.73 miles in rural areas of Jasper County from Mingo through rural Reasnor.

Board staff said they still need to reach a recommendation on changes to condemnation easements. The IUB did not make a decision Monday whether or not Dakota Access has satisfied the requirements, allowing the permit to go into affect. Their next open session — where that order could be presented — is April 15.

In Brief Soil management, land valuation conference May 18

Farmers prepare for growing season, fight against weeds Alex Olp/Daily News Local farmers are just days away from entering their fields to begin seeding, but are also taking action to prevent weeds from growing by creating a rotation of chemicals for the season or planting cover crops.

By Alex Olp Jasper County Tribune Weeds, if not dealt with correctly, can be detrimental to a farmer’s operation and can significantly affect the yield of certain crops.

When growing among soybeans and cotton, weeds can compete for and steal water, nutrients and sunlight away from the crops. That’s especially true if they get too far above the canopy.

As for corn, weeds don’t tend to have as much of an effect but are still unwanted plants. As Jasper County farmers prepare for the 2016 spring planting season, some local growers have put systems in place to prevent this problem.

Prairie City farmer Gordon Wassenaar said he hasn’t experienced overwhelming weed issues in recent years, but has maintained an effective strategy to prevent the tough weeds from growing in his fields.

“With waterhemp and some of the resistant weeds, we’ve been using cover crops. And we have a real good stash of cover crops this year,” Wassenaar said.

“Some of the resistant weeds, it’s a lot more difficult for them to grow with the cover crop. So far we think we’ve suppressed the tough weeds by doing that.”

Waterhemp is one of the most resistant weeds farmers deal with, especially in the southern parts of the Midwest, because of its rapid growth and ability to adapt.

According to Mark Licht, cropping systems agronomist at Iowa State University, waterhemp’s ability to develop resistance to multiple herbicides is part of what makes it tough to manage.

“There are six different types of herbicides or chemicals that waterhemp has developed a resistance to. We have certain populations in Iowa where they are four-way or even five-way resistant developed,” Licht said.

“It’s not just one population that’s resistant to one herbicide here and one herbicide there.

It’s potentially a population that is resistant to multiple herbicides, so that just makes it more challenging to manage.”

Last year’s moist conditions favored waterhemp and some

of the faster growing weeds, which gave some Iowa farmers difficulties in the early part of the growing season. The lack of canopy cover, allowing more sunlight to reach the weeds, also hurt Iowa farmers’ crops in 2015.

“More sunlight was getting through to the weeds, so they were able to germinate over a longer period of time and, therefore, compete a little bit more,” Licht said. “Canopy closure is definitely one of those things that affects weeds. Precipitation and moisture makes a difference as well.”

According to Licht, farmers also need to look out for the build up of weeds in seed banks, especially if it ends up being tilled into the soil, because it can affect the next year as well as the following three to four years.

Colfax farmer Ben Kolo, who lives between Valeria and Mingo, said he is expecting possible minor issues with waterhemp again this year, but is confident in his team’s strategy to limit the presence.

“There’s gonna be some problems with the waterhemp and some of those types of weeds because we’re not using as heavy of stuff. But we’ve gone with a no-till to help with some of that and we added some tile last year and will again this year,” Kolo said. “That helps with some of the sudden death issues and too much water issues.”

Being proactive is basically what it takes to prevent weeds from growing in this part of the Midwest, Kolo said, and getting ahead of the game with a good rotation of herbicides.

Wassenaar also has a rotation of three or four chemicals he typically uses for his Prairie City farm in order to limit the chances of running into resistant weed problems.

“You have to use a rotation of herbicides. You can’t just use Roundup weedkiller or one chemical. If you get into one pattern, like using one herbicide for one crop, sooner or later problems will develop,” Wassenaar said. “It takes some common sense and plenty of management.”

Field conditions days away from being ready Due to a mild winter and rising temperatures, field conditions are getting close to ready for the corn and soybean planting season.

Soil temperatures are in the mid40s, which is higher than normal for the end of March and just shy of the magic number of 50 degrees, according to Mark Licht, cropping systems agronomist at Iowa State University.

As for soil moisture, Licht said many tile lines around Central Iowa are full or nearing full.

“The ground did not freeze as deep and as hard as it has in past years,” Licht said. “Part of that is because we didn’t get a fair amount of snow cover in the winter and, overall, the winter was quite mild.

As we get into the first week of April, unless cold temperatures really knock things back, we’ll have farmers starting to get a little antsy to maybe get in the field a little bit.”

The temperature has jumped around a lot in the past month and Jasper County did experience a flooding episode over the winter, but much of it ran off due to its high intensity.

Some Iowa farmers have started seeding alfalfa already and others are even thinking about getting oats in the ground, but Licht advised farmers to wait just a little bit longer before increasing their field activity.

In regards to commodity prices of corn and soybean, the cost of production is still relatively high creating tight margins for farmers heading into the growing season.

Last year, margins were solid to start out with, but things got tighter due to high yields in the northern parts of the state and a drop in prices.

“This year, farmers are looking at where they can trim cost out.

They’re looking at maybe trimming seeding rates a little bit with both corn and soybeans with the thought process of not hurting yields quite as much,” Licht said. “They also could be looking at cutting back on phosphorus and potassium fertilizer rates if they were building those up the past three or four years when margins were higher.”

Iowa State University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences and ISU Extension will host the 89th Annual Soil Management and Land Valuation Conference May 18 at the Scheman Building in Ames.

The conference is intended for farm managers, rural appraisers, real estate brokers and others interested in the land market in Iowa. This is the longest running conference at Iowa State in both research and extension.

Agenda items include: • “What is Your Prediction for Iowa’s Land Values?” by Conference Planning Committee Chair Wendong Zhang • “Global Economic Outlook: What Does a Slowing China and a Strong US Dollar Mean for US Agriculture” by Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City Omaha Branch Executive and Economist Nathan Kauffman • Panel Discussion on Current and Future Cash Rents in Iowa with Hertz Farm Management AFM Mike Downey, Wells Fargo Bank Senior Business Relationship Manager Scott Neff and Farm Credit Services of America Senior Vice President Jim Knuth. Moderator: ISU Economics Assistant Professor Alejandro Plastina.

• “Excessive Spring Rain will be More Frequent (except this year): Weather Tools to Manage It” by ISU Climate Science Group Assistant Director Chris Anderson — “Soil Fertility Management with Tight Crop Production Margins”

Time for spring sprayer preparation Iowa Farmer Today More farmers are using cover crops as a method to manage weeds, erosion and increase the output of fields. With that, sprayer use has increased. Some high-boy sprayers have been converted to seeders, and overall more sprayer options are available from manufacturers to serve the needs of farmers.

Unverferth Manufacturing recently announced the addition of a 60-foot boom for its Top Air ATV sprayer for greater productivity.

Jerry Ecklund, Unverferth communications manager, says with cover crops, an ATV-style sprayer makes the perfect tool for burning down cover crops before planting begins.

Case IH introduced the new 660-gallon capacity Patriot 2250 sprayer rated at 175 horsepower (hp) that peaks at 190 hp. It is designed to cover rough fields and rolling terrain.

New for 2016 from John Deere is the R4023 self-propelled sprayer, a smaller, lighter-weight model added to the 4 Series sprayer line-up. It features a new premium cab option, wide and narrow axle configurations and the latest integrated technology.

As spring jumps into full swing, remember to use a pre-season checklist for sprayer and machine preparation.

• Clean or replace tank and boom sprayers as needed. Inspect hoses, clamps and fittings for wear or leaks. Repair and replace parts as needed.

• Test nozzle flow rate and compare to new — replace any tip that has 10 percent or more error from new nozzle flow rate. If two or more nozzles fail, replace the whole set.

• Inspect boom suspension and general mechanical condition. Repair as needed. Automated boom height control can’t perform well if boom mechanicals are worn.

City continues work on action plan munity.

“Since the previous update in November, we have created an Americans with Disabilities Act entryway into the public works building,” Umsted said.

The city has also installed sidewalk curb ramps on 42 street corners, designated handicapped parking spaces at Maytag Park playground and modified the men’s restroom at city hall to be better accessible.

Future plans include improving the accessibility of the women’s restroom at city hall and making the Eversman baseball field at Woodland Park accessible for fans. Finally, the city is working to make shelters and restrooms at Woodland and Maytag parks accessible from parking areas with concrete walkways.

In the area of creating a neighborhood improvement program, which will provide assistance to low-moderate property owners seeking to improve their homes, the city has applied for a community development block grant.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The city’s progress in the area of providing a high quality of life was presented to the city council during a monthly update on the 2015-2017 strategic action plan. Providing a high quality of life is one of four essential purposes the city identified as a part of the action plan that serves as more of a detailed guide of what the city staff are working on to further the city’s goals.

“The city’s purpose is to continue to build upon the high quality of life in Newton by focusing on growing community livability, cultural and historical resources, recreational amenities and community aesthetics, in order to benefit creating households and drawing young families to choose Newton as their home,” senior management analyst Natalie Umsted said.

One goal under the purpose is to improve handicapped accessibility throughout the com-

Her husband, Bryce, was at his family’s farm outside of Reasnor loading pigs when he got the call. The couple’s dogs were not at the residence during the fire. No injuries were reported.

Fire departments from Newton, Sully, Reasnor and Monroe arrived on the scene to find a fully engulfed house. Crews were on scene for more than a hour working to control the fire, which left little behind.

“We got dispatched at 8:32 a.m. and Monroe was already there spraying water,” Newton Fire Marshal Mike Knoll said. “There weren’t any problems fighting the fire yesterday, everything went well.”

The cause of the fire is not yet known and the investigation is ongoing.

The Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office also assisted on scene.

The board only briefly addressed another issue Monday which has recently surfaced regarding reports that Dakota Access has begun pre-construction on the pipeline.

Dakota Access filed documents Monday with the IUB claiming there was no wrong-doing in what it calls “pre-construction” efforts of clearing brush and staking areas of the pipeline route on parcels of land in which voluntary easements have been acquired.

“Dakota Access has undertaken only preparatory pre-construction steps of staking the route pursuant to (actual) landowner requests where the pipeline traverses their property to

Trotter’s attorney, T.J. Hier, requested the deferred judgment and highlighted a number of changes in her client’s life after she becomes “fully engaged in treatment” in the Iowa City area.

Trotter’s son has been returned to her care for the last nine months and is doing well, she’s obtained her certified nursing assistant certification and is thriving in her residential treatment program, Hier said.

“I’ve been doing this a long time and it’s not often we get to celebrate our clients’ success,” Hier said.

“She wants to change her life.”

Trotter also addressed the court herself, apologizing to her family and her son for her choices.

“I made some bad decisions and I’m taking steps to be more successful,” Trotter said. “It changed my life around.”

Trotter was ordered to pay a $1,000 civil penalty, court costs and attorney fees. She is also required to successfully complete her treatment program.

Living in a work zone W

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson

hen we purchased our house last summer, we didn’t have a lot of remodeling in mind. Although we liked the house, we really bought it for the property — it sits on 3.5 acres in town next to the golf course and down the street from my parents.

After living in it for a couple of months, we realized the sun room attached to our living room would never really serve any purpose for us. Also, the wall that stood between the living room and sun room had a giant window in it, which made arranging furniture very awkward and left very little wall space for any decorating.

It was in November I decided to take action toward getting the wall down. I took off the door that hung in between the two rooms as a statement to my husband it was time to get to work.

From there, he began taking down the wall, which we found out was load barring. It would have been nice for it just to come down with no other work, but having to put up a header wasn’t the worst thing in the world.

It was at about that time my husband starting feeling some pain in his stomach and ended up having a surgery in mid-December. That put our renovations on hold and a half de-

molished wall sitting between the two rooms.

With our living room now a construction zone, we decided to relocate to the front sitting room until work was complete. Little did I know construction wouldn’t start up again for another three months.

I’m not going to put all of the blame on my husband. He had surgery and was unable to lift anything for several weeks, then he was gone on a mission trip for another week. When he got back, craft show season was starting up and with one or both of us gone or taking care of the kids, little work was done.

Finally, life began to calm down and we made plans to restart the renovation. Since I had been gone two weekends in a row, I planned a girls day for me and the kiddos. We got our nails done, did a little shopping and

saw a movie while my husband was at home putting in the header and starting drywall work.

We still have a lot of work ahead of us and, under my timeline, about five weeks to do it. To complete the room, my husband needs to finish the drywall, close in a door and then cut in a new French door.

When that is done, I will get to painting the trim and walls followed by my husband installing our new flooring. A few projects ago, I learned my husband works best when left on his own, without the kids home and especially without me helping. I am completely OK with that as long as he stays motivated and work gets done.

So wish us luck that the room gets completed and we can get started on the next project — a deck.

State View Rep. Greg Heartsill

Iowa water quality improvement plan Water quality is an important issue in our state.

Currently, Iowa dedicates more than $20 million annually towards improving the state’s water quality through the Nutrient Reduction Strategy. This is a significant investment, but as with many other issues there is always more we can do to ensure progress in this area.

This past week, the House Ways and Means Committee introduced House Study Bill 654, also known as the Iowa Water Quality Improvement Plan, which will continue implementation of the Nutrient Reduction Strategy while significantly increasing the state’s investment in a manner that addresses both urban and rural water quality issues.

The Iowa Water Quality Improvement Plan has dedicated, sustainable long-term funding sources from both the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund (RIIF) and the excise tax on metered water.

The funding from the water services excise tax would be dedicated to urban conservation practices, improvements to wastewater and drinking water facilities in communities, and a financing program for water quality projects.

Funding for rural efforts will come from the Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund, focusing on longterm improvements that will reduce the runoff of nitrates and phosphorus into Iowa waterways and reduce soil erosion.

These improvements would involve both in-field and edge-of-field practices.The programs would be funded on a cost-share basis.

In-field practices would include: • Terraces, which are soil conservation structures on highly sloped areas of farm fields to control soil erosion and limit phosphorus runoff; • Grass Waterways, which are areas of the field where water normally runs off the field and grass is planted instead to prevent erosion and phosphorus runoff.

Edge-of-field would include: • Bio-reactors, which is a buried biological filter in a tiled drain system that removes nitrates; • Buffer strips, which are grassy areas on the edge of farm fields that reduce field runoff; • Saturated buffers, which are drainage tile discharge areas running lateral along waterways which naturally remove nitrates; • Nutrient removal wetlands, which are areas designed to retain water flowing off a field and slowly discharge into a waterway which naturally removes nitrates.

These public-private partnership projects will be funded by Iowa farmers, local communities, the state, and other private sources.

In addition to these projects, the Plan will continue to expand the state’s investment in water quality research and measurements.

This Friday I will be holding town hall meetings in the following locations: Two Rivers Coop in Tracy at 8 a.m., Bussey City Hall at 9:30 a.m., and the Knoxville Chamber Office at 5 p.m.

Until next time, God bless.

Vote Breckenridge for Iowa House As a lifelong activist in the Democratic party, serving for 36 years as Jasper County Recorder, lobbying on behalf of the Iowa State Recorders Association, a member of the local Democratic Central Committee, an active fundraiser and current vice chair, I have a heartfelt vested interest in the direction our party takes us, not only nationally, but also here in Iowa.

On June 7 we go to the polls to vote in the primary election

Kelley, and he’s been on the forefront of protecting Jasper County landowners from eminent domain abuse ever since During the 2015 legislative session, Dan championed legislation that would update eminent domain laws in Iowa to address this new and unforeseen threat.

He has helped landowners connect with environmental and legal experts. He attended anti-pipeline rallies at the Capitol, as well as a hearing held by the Iowa Utilities Board to deliberate on Dakota Access’s request for a permit to construct the pipeline.

Even though the IUB has ruled in favor of the pipeline project, the fight is not over.

Dakota Access has numerous hoops to jump through before

they can begin construction. In fact, that company is now under scrutiny for allegations that they have begun clearing trees and creating in-roads on some landowners’ properties — activities that might be considered as “construction.”

If you are a landowner and have had a similar experience with Dakota Access, LLC, or if you have signed an easement agreement with that company and are reconsidering based on how you now see that company, I urge you to report your concerns to the IUB. I also encourage you to reach out to Dan, who will definitely have your back as a Jasper County landowner.

that will determine who will represent us for the Iowa House seat in District 29 on the Democratic ticket. My vote will be cast for Wes Breckenridge.

Wes, a lifelong resident of Jasper County, is my choice for many reasons. He is ambitious, honest, fair, listens and respects others’ opinions, has high energy and the tenacity to see things through.

In the last six months, Wes has taken it upon himself to listen and to be sure that he is informed. He talks to constituents over coffee, listens to their questions and concerns. He has gone right to the

sources by engaging with every school administrator in the district, many mental health professionals, schoolteachers and union leaders, as well as community members and leaders.

Wes will listen and will not turn you away. Anyone can engage with him by calling him at 641- 521-6714, emailing him at electbreckenridge@gmail.com or through his political Facebook page.

Please join me and vote for Wes Breckenridge on Tuesday, June 7, for State Representative in District 29.

Breckenridge is a leader Recently, I heard State Rep. Dan Kelley on the radio saying he is endorsed by the UAW. This is not true. The UAW has not endorsed anyone yet. I am supporting Wes Breckenridge for State Representative House District 29.

I have known Wes Breckenridge for more than 25 years. Wes is not a follower, but a leader. This is how he has lived his life, starting as a patrol officer with the Newton Police Department, then as a

Kathy Holdefer Mingo

Nancy Potter Parrott Newton

DARE officer, educating our youth about the dangers of drugs, continually working his way up the ranks to lieutenant, each step requiring him to take on more of a leadership role.

Wes is a man of honesty and integrity. I feel Wes Breckenridge will make an excellent state representative. I encourage my family, friends and neighbors, along with my UAW brothers and sisters to join me in supporting Wes Breckenridge for State Representative House District 29.

Annual Prairie Burn set for Friday at Jacob Krumm Newton Daily News The public is invited to watch a controlled prairie burn at 7 p.m. Friday at the Jacob Krumm Nature Preserve.

Fire is a very important management tool for Iowa’s tall grass prairies, according to Keri Van Zante of the Jasper County Conservation Board, and the public is invited

to witness this event. Prairie used to cover about 85 percent of Iowa’s landscape, and was periodically burned off due to lightning strikes or fires set on purpose by Native Americans.

Participants are asked to arrive at Jacob Krumm Nature Preserve by 7 p.m., located by driving north off of Exit 179 from Interstate 80. The preserve entrance is reached by going another mile east on the gravel road,

Jacob Avenue. Meet at the east entrance.

The Krumm Preserve prairie and the use of fire to burn prairie will be interpreted by the Jasper County Conservation Board. Old clothing and shoes are appropriate; cameras may be desirable.

In case of rain or strong winds, the burn will be canceled. Call 641-792‑9780 or check www.jaspercountyconservation.com for more information.

Co-worker’s tempting offer could have disastrous results DEAR ABBY: Last week one of my associates asked me out for drinks.

I have been working with him for the same length of time that I have been married. I know he’s interested because he has been texting me about unrelated work things and is always flirting.

I am very much in love with my husband, but my co-worker is very tempting. I’m worried about hurting my husband, but at the same time I’m excited about what this new man can offer me. Did I mention that he’s the top lawyer of the firm? — TEMPTED IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR TEMPTED: Let’s pretend for a moment that the situation was reversed and this letter came from the husband you “love very much.”

How would you feel if he acted on his temptation? When people marry, they promise each other certain things, chief among them fidelity. That “Alpha Dog” may want to have a fling with you may be flattering, but it isn’t necessarily a compliment.

Take a step back and consider what could happen to your career at that firm and how you would feel if things don’t go the way you’d like. (Example: An attractive woman is hired and you are dropped like a hot potato.)

I’m guessing that you are not the first woman this has happened to in that office.

DEAR ABBY: My oldest daughter feels we should be available to watch or pick up our grandkids whenever she calls. I suffer from chronic pain and have good days and bad. I never know when I’ll have a bad day.

My daughter asks me to watch or have overnights with her children a month in advance. I don’t know how I will be doing then, but if I cancel because I’m not feeling well, she gets bent out of shape. We have had fights about this, and I need someone else’s advice.

I raised my kids and I love my grandkids, but sometimes I don’t feel well enough to baby-sit or have an overnight. Are grandparents obligated to watch their grandkids whenever their parents need them? — FEELING USED IN OREGON DEAR FEELING USED: If you’re feeling used, then you probably are. Your health concerns surely are no mystery to your daughter. Tell her you are glad to look after the grandchildren if you are up to it. But in case you aren’t, she should have an alternate ready to step in should the need arise, because it MAY. And don’t apologize for it.

DEAR ABBY: My daughter is being married soon and we are getting ready to mail out the invitations.

We have three couples who will not be married when the invitations are mailed, but will be by the wedding.

Should we address their invitations using their single names or married names? — CHARLOTTE IN AKRON, OHIO DEAR CHARLOTTE: Not all women these days change their names to their husband’s. Address the invitations using the names these couples are using now. At the wedding reception, the place cards can reflect any name changes that are necessary.

3 Pork plant opponents seek

support from neighboring city

CLEAR LAKE — Opponents of a proposed pork plant in Mason City have asked officials in neighboring Clear Lake to stand against the plan.

Clinton, North Carolina-based Prestage Farms announced plans earlier this month to build a $240 million plant that ultimately will employ about 2,000 people. About a dozen people spoke against the plan during the Clear Lake City Council meeting Monday. Many said they most feared the impact of hog farms supplying the plant.

Former teacher gets probation for sex abuse case CHARLES CITY — A former band teacher facing sex charges in Marion County has been given probation in a Floyd County sex abuse case. On Monday 32-year-old Benjamin Thompson was fined $1,000 and given five years of probation and a suspended 10-year prison sentence.

In January he’d pleaded guilty to sexual abuse. Prosecutors say he had a sexual relationship with the Charles City girl in 2011.

State nominations open for Iowa Teacher of the Year

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Thousands of talented Iowa educators lead and inspire their students, but only one is chosen annually as the state’s top teacher.

The deadline to nominate the 2017 Iowa Teacher of the Year is April 25. The award is an opportunity to recognize an exceptional Iowa teacher who is helping to redefine ed-

ucation.

The 2017 Teacher of the Year will be announced this fall.

No teacher from a Jasper County school has won the award, though educators from Marshalltown and Grinnell have each won. The award was established in 1958.

Nominations will be accepted from anyone including students, parents, school administrators, colleagues,

college faculty members and associations.

Nomination forms can be downloaded from the Iowa Department of Education’s website and then either mailed in or sent by email.

The forms can be found here: bit.ly/1UI9BKc The annual program is sponsored by the Iowa Department of Education through an appropriation from the Iowa Legislature.

The Teacher of the Year serves as an ambassador to education and as a liaison to primary and secondary schools, higher education and organizations across the state.

Scott Slechta, an English-language arts teacher at Fairfield High School, was named the 2016 Teacher of the Year. He was honored at a recent banquet.

The other finalists were from the Davenport, Dal-

las Center-Grimes Vinton-Shellsburg and West Des Moines districts.

The 2015 honoree was Clemencia Spizzirri, a native of Ecuador and a Drake University graduate who teaches Spanish at Merrill Middle School in Des Moines.

University of Iowa proposes new site to house art collection IOWA CITY (AP) — University of Iowa officials have proposed a new location for a building to house its art museum less than a month after pulling out of a public-private partnership for the project.

The University of Iowa Museum of Art’s executive director, Sean O’Harrow, announced Saturday that the new location is just a few blocks from the site in the previous proposal.

“The plan is to connect the

new museum to the (UI) Main Library southern section,” O’Harrow wrote in a letter to museum supporters Sunday.

“We couldn’t be more pleased.”

O’Harrow says the new proposal includes access to addi-

tional event spaces and visitor services through the university’s main library, including a cafe and auditorium. The space’s proximity to the library could bring in more foot traffic and allow for stronger partner-

ships between the College of Education and the library departments.

“Parking located under the museum facility will elevate the building above the flood zone,” O’Harrow said.

Newton YMCA launches annual campaign to support community needs Newton Daily News The Newton YMCA is launching its annual campaign “For a Better Us” to ensure everyone in the City of Newton and Jasper County area has access to vital community programs and resources that support youth development, healthy living and social responsibility. For more than 140 years, the Newton Y has played a major role in the betterment of Newton and Jasper County.

While widely seen as a fitness center, the Newton Y is much more. As one of the largest nonprofits in Newton, the Y provides a safe, fun and educational outlet for thousands of individuals and families each and every year.

“Throughout Jasper County, countless people know the Newton Y as a place to come exercise, use the gym or the swimming pool,” said Emily Allen, YMCA board member. “But there’s much

more to our Y than one might think. The Y is more than a gym, it’s a cause. As a charity, we’re dedicated to nurturing the potential of every child and teen, improving Allen the nation’s health and wellbeing, and giving back and providing support to our neighbors.”

The Newton Y hopes to raise more than $60,000 to continue its community work. Funds raised will provide financial assistance and support or many programs such as full-time child care, summer day camp and preschool, swim lessons and a variety of other programing. The campaign also helps bridge the gap of our income verses expenses. The Newton Y is committed to keeping our member-

ship and program fees low to help ensure everyone has the opportunity to utilize the Y and with expenses continuing to rise this is a challenge for a nonprofit committed to strengthening our community.

The Newton Y also has a great impact on Newton and Jasper County community. The Y employs about 150 people annually with a payroll of nearly $1 million, providing child care for more than 100 children each week day, serves as a partner with many other nonprofit organizations and in 2015 the Y provided more than $73,000 in financial assistance for child care, memberships and programs.

To learn more about how to support the Y’s cause, contact 2016 Campaign Chairperson and associate executive director, Rhonda Robson at 641-7924006 or at rhonda.robson@newtonymca.org

Police ID man in fatal assault in Marshalltown MARSHALLTOWN (AP) — A Marshalltown resident has been arrested in the fatal assault of another man outside a Marshalltown bar.

Authorities say 31-year-old Brandon Skidmore was taken into custody around 2 a.m. Saturday and is charged with second-degree murder. Marshall County Jail records say he remained in custody Monday. It’s not clear whether he has an attorney who could comment on his behalf.

Police say in a news release that the victim was assaulted in an alley as the Center Street Station bar was closing. He was pronounced dead later at a hospital. Police identified him as 48-year-old James Anderson, of Marshalltown.

Cardinal boys finish second in LHC triangular

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News OSKALOOSA — Six strokes separated the three Little Hawkeye Conference varsity boys’ golf teams in Monday’s conference triangular at Edmundson Golf Course in Oskaloosa.

Newton High’s Cardinals were in the middle with a 173 four-man score in the nine-hole competition. Host Oskaloosa finished with a meet-low 170 and Norwalk had a 176.

“The varsity team really struggled on their short game. We had a lot of 3- and 4-putts which

really raises the scores and ruins confidence,” Newton head coach Pat Riley said. “I think we had about 11 strokes we lost with the four scores we took or we would have won the triangular by eight strokes.”

The Cardinals had a trio leading the way each one posting a 43 on the day — senior Derek Damman and juniors Austin Reynolds and Trey Vanderlaan. Junior Paul Maharry’s 44 completed the team scoring on the day.

Senior Payton Thomas finished with a 45 for Newton and junior Sam Supino carded a 48.

“It is always humbling

to have some bad days.

Days like this help us appreciate and enjoy the good rounds we shoot,” Riley said. “We will learn from this, focus on our short game over the next week and come out better in the end. We still have a lot of goals to achieve as a team and I have no doubt we will accomplish them.”

Newton’s junior varsity played for the first time this season Tuesday. Riley said it was great experience for Newton’s junior varsity kids to gets some meet time. They will only improve as the season progresses, he said.

Nova claims NCAA title on buzzer-beater 3 HOUSTON (AP) — One good shot deserved another.

Kris Jenkins of Villanova wasn’t about to be outdone.

Jenkins overcame the shock of watching North Carolina’s Marcus Paige hit a double-clutch 3 to tie it by spotting up behind the right side of the arc and draining a 3 of his own at the buzzer to lift Villanova to a 77-74 victory and the national championship Monday night.

What a shot! What a game!

The second-seeded Wildcats (35-5) had a six-point lead with 1:52 left, but watched it slowly trickle away. Then, it was gone.

Paige collected the ball and jumped to take the shot. With Ryan Arcidiacono running at him, Paige double clutched and pumped one from beyond the arc to tie the game at 74 with 4.7 seconds left.

After a timeout, Arcidiacono took the inbound pass from Jenkins, worked the ball upcourt and got it back to the junior guard. Jenkins took two quick stutter steps and, with daylight between himself and the defender, swished it from AP Photo about two paces behind the Villanova’s Kris Jenkins is mobbed by his teammates following his buzzer-beating 3-pointer to give the Wildcats a 77-74 victory over North 3-point line.

Heels when he adjusted in the air and rattled home a game-tying 3-pointer with 4.7 seconds left to make it 74-all. For Villanova, it is its first national title since 1985, when the Wildcats shocked Georgetown.

Syracuse challenges UConn for women’s NCAA title INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Breanna Stewart and UConn are one victory away from accomplishing their ultimate goal — a fourth straight national championship.

To achieve that unprecedented feat, Stewart and the Huskies will have to beat Syracuse, her hometown team.

“Growing up in Syracuse, I thought about it, going there. Who wouldn’t?

Who wouldn’t think about going to the hometown school and that stuff?” she said. “But when push came to shove, UConn was the best place for me.”

And she’s been great for UConn.

A victory Tuesday would give coach Geno Auriemma 11 national championships, moving him past UCLA men’s coach John Wooden for the most in NCAA basketball history.

Auriemma referred to standout seniors Stewart, Moriah Jefferson and Morgan Tuck as he looked toward the title game.

“I don’t know what I can do to help them except keep reminding them all the time, ‘This is your spot, you’ve owned this spot for the last three years,’” the Hall of Fame coach said.

“Now there’s no guarantee you’re going to get it Tuesday night, but we’re not going in there Tuesday night hoping we win. Because these three (players) they’ve done more than that, it doesn’t mean we’re going to win, but I don’t have to help them with that mentality.”

While the Huskies are no stranger to the title game, Syracuse is a new-

comer. The Orange have been on an to play against the best team in the unexpected run in the NCAA Tour- country, to play against a dynasty and nament. The fourth-seeded team had play against a team that really forgot never gotten out of the opening week- how to lose,” Syracuse coach Quenend of the tournament before this sea- tin Hillsman said. “That’s an amazing son.

“We have a chance on Tuesday night “I guess it happened on the very

first possession that we had where she drove it to the basket and she said she felt something but didn’t really say anything and just continued to play on it,” Auriemma said. “And it wasn’t until late in the first half that we found out that there was something wrong.

“Then by halftime, when we were in the locker room, we knew that when she wasn’t back in the locker room right away, it had to be something.

And then before the half started, before the second half started, Rosemary Ragle, our athletic trainer, told me she has a broken bone in her foot and she’s out. And we just addressed it with our team real quick and play on.”

Both teams advanced to the championship game with routs.

The Huskies won by 29 points, setting a Final Four record that surpassed the 28-point win by Tennessee over Arkansas in 1998. It was UConn’s 74th consecutive victory, the second-longest winning streak in NCAA and school history.

Syracuse jumped all over seventh-seeded Washington en route to an 80-59 rout. The Orange know they have a big challenge ahead.

“They’re a great basketball team,” Hillsman said. “Only thing I have going for me is that I was in the Big East and we know how they play, so their speed and quickness won’t be a shock. ... Geno’s the best in the business. His team is the best in the business.”

Cubs open 2016 thumping Angels

Hawk girls first, boys third in SICL golf triangular NEW SHARON — In a triangular golf meet between three South Iowa Cedar League schools, Lynnville-Sully’s girls claimed first place while the Hawk boys finished third.

CMB plays at Bondurant-Farrar at 2 p.m. Monday.

That meet will be at Terrace Hills.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Thousands of Chicago Cubs fans filled the stands at Angel Stadium with raucous chants and cheers, the usual optimism of opening day compounded by unusual excitement for their talent-laden team.

Jake Arrieta and his lineup of heavy hitters gave those fans every reason to hope they had just watched the start of something special.

Arrieta yielded two hits over seven dominant innings, Miguel Montero homered and drove in three runs, and theCubs began a season of high expectations with a 9-0 victory over the Los Angeles Angels on Monday night.

“I think we set the tone pretty nicely for ourselves,” Arrieta said.

Anthony Rizzo and Jorge Soler drove in early runs and Villanova product Matt Szczur added a three-run double in the ninth for the Cubs, who excelled in every area. Chicago couldn’t wait to get go-

ing again after an exciting 97-win season ended with a dismal four-game loss to the Mets in the NL Championship Series last fall.

“We’ve prepared for this for a long time,” said Arrieta, who has a 29-inning scoreless streak stretching to last season. “The last game we played was in the NLCS. We were ready for this moment. Guys came into camp ready, with a game plan. Everybody executed appropriately.”

Chicago’s anguished fans believe this team really might end the franchise’s 108-year championship drought this season, and they packed the seats in Orange County to herald an auspicious start to the quest.

And after just the sixth opening day shutout in franchise history, the Cubs say they’re ready for all expectations.

Garrett Richards (0-1) gave up three runs in five innings of six-hit ball in his first opening day start for Los Angeles.

Kershaw, Dodgers roll over Padres on Opening Day SAN DIEGO (AP) — Clayton Kershaw was brilliant on opening day, holding San Diego to one hit in seven innings and striking out nine to lead rookie manager Dave Roberts and the Los Angeles Dodgers to a record-setting 15-0 victory against the Padres on Monday.

It was the most lopsided opening day shutout in major league history. The previous mark was a 14-0 win by the Pittsburgh Pirates over the Cincinnati Reds in 1911, according to STATS. Kershaw (1-0) allowed Jon Jay’s single with two outs in the third and then retired his last 13 batters. The lefty improved to 4-0 in six opening day starts.

Adrian Gonzalez had three

of Los Angeles’ 17 hits and three RBIs, and A.J. Ellis also drove in three runs. Chase Utley had three hits and two RBIs. It was the worst opening day loss in the Padres’ 48-year history. San Diego had only four hits.

Giants 12, Brewers 3 MILWAUKEE — Denard Span homered and drove in five runs in his San Francisco debut, and the Giants beat Milwaukee in their opener despite a sluggish start from under-the-weather ace Madison Bumgarner.

Span hit a three-run shot in the eighth inning and Joe Panik and Buster Posey followed with home runs off Ariel Pena.

It marked the first time

the Giants had connected for three straight homers on opening day. It was the first time any team had done it in an opener since the Padres in 1997, the Giants said in citing the Elias Sports Bureau.

Matt Duffy helped out with a home run and four RBIs. Brandon Belt doubled twice and singled for San Francisco.

The Giants scored quickly against Wily Peralta (0-1) and bailed out the ailing Bumgarner (1-0), who left after the fifth with a four-run lead. The 2014 World Series MVP allowed five hits, five walks and three runs.

Orioles 3, Twins 2 BALTIMORE (AP) — Matt Wieters singled home the winning run with two outs in the ninth inning, and Balti-

more withstood two long rain delays in a season-opening victory over Minnesota.

With the score tied at 2, Chris Davis drew a two-out walk from Kevin Jepsen (0-1).

After newcomer Mark Trumbo followed with his fourth single, Wieters lined a single up the middle.

Minnesota hasn’t won on opening day since 2008.

Reds 6, Phillies 2 CINCINNATI (AP) — Zack Cozart had three hits and drove in the tying run with a sacrifice fly in the eighth inning, and Joey Votto followed with a bases-loaded single that sent Cincinnati over Philadelphia in an opener matching the majors’ two worst teams from last season.

Champions

This adds to the other title Villanova won in 1985, when Rollie Massimino, who was on hand Monday night, coaxed a miracle out of his eighth-seeded underdogs for a victory over star-studded Georgetown.

Hard to top this one, though.

Jenkins, who was adopted by the family of North Carolina guard Nate Britt when his mother moved to take a coaching job, now has a spot with Keith Smart, Lorenzo Charles, Christian Laettner and anyone else who ever made a late game-winner to win a big one in March Madness.

Paige finished with 21 and Joel Berry II had 20 for the Heels (33-7), the only No. 1 seed to make the Final Four, who came one agonizing shot short of giving coach Roy Williams his third national title.

Not surprisingly, the tears flowed from the 65-year-old coach who, some speculate, could have worked his last game on the sideline; the entire sports program at Chapel

Hill is under NCAA scrutiny and awaiting possible penalties for a long-running academic-fraud case.

“I’m not very good because I can’t take away the hurt,” Williams said. “I told them I loved them. I told them I wish I could have helped them more.”

His thought when he saw the last shot fly: “It was helpless. It was not a good feeling.”

Even MJ felt the pain. In the stands with the thousands of Carolina Blue-wearing fans, Michael Jordan simply nodded, smiled, looked at his buddy Ahmad Rashad and said, “Good shot, good shot.”

High praise from the Great One. And what a night for Villanova — a team full of scrappers, grinders and also-rans, who proved you don’t have to have a roster full of NBAbound one-and-doners to win a title. More people in the ESPN bracket contest picked ‘Nova to lose in the first round than to win the whole thing.

This team flamed out early in the last two tournaments despite big expectations.

Not this time.

Before Jenkins did his thing, it was unheralded sophomore Phil Booth — who isn’t unheralded on that Villanova squad? — pouring in a career high 20 points to give the Cats their late six-point lead.

Booth’s forced turnaround jumper with the shot-clock blaring to give ‘Nova a 69-64 lead at the 3:03 mark. With 1:52 left, a free throw from Josh Hart pushed the lead to six.

But Carolina never quits.

Paige sandwiched a 3-pointer and a putback around a bucket from Brice Johnson (14 points, eight rebounds) to help the Tar Heels stay within striking range. Then, he tied the game and the Carolina fans went wild.

It looked like overtime.

Only, it wasn’t.

“Every kid dreams about that shot,” said Arcidiacono, who finished with 16 points and two assists, one more memorable than the other. “I wanted that shot, but I just had confidence in my teammates, and Kris was able to knock down that shot.”

Continued from Page 1B “Kris told him he was going to be open, Arch made the perfect pass,” Villanova coach Jay Wright explained. “Kris lives for that moment.”

Jenkins’ range is anywhere in the gym, as he showed earlier in the tournament by nonchalantly draining a shot from the edge of the midcourt logo.

When this one went up, he never had a doubt.

“I think every shot’s going in,” he said, “and this one was no different.”

He finished with 14 points — the last three as memorable as any that have been scored in the history of this tournament.

After being thrown to the floor by his teammates, he got up, leaped over press row, hugged his birth mom — a college basketball coach who helped him hone his shot — and shouted, “They said we couldn’t, they said we couldn’t, they said we couldn’t.”

Oh yes, they could.

May. June brings a new way of running your daily life. An audacious long-term goal will be realized in August. Aquarius and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 44, 47, 3 and 17.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

When it comes to following your heart’s desire, there’s no such thing as being too old to start or too young to start. It’s the happiness of your heart that counts, not the age of it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

It’s not a day for putting up with your own trepidation. The minute you feel yourself hesitate, push yourself to dive into the

thing that gives you pause. Face the fears now while they are still small.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The candy colors of this environment were exciting to you at one time, but you’ve matured. Now you want to interact in a place with more to offer. You’re looking for variety and depth. You’ll find it, too.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Fast fixes, succinct answers and brief interactions rule the early day, because you’ve something juicy to get to -- something you’d like to savor in slow motion.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). A lot could happen; a lot might happen. Playing the odds is smart

today, and the odds are against those “coulds” and “mights.”

Focusing on what (SET ITAL) is (END ITAL) happening will be lucrative and satisfying.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Overcoming the fear of rejection is a simple process. All you have to do is get rejected a few times so you no longer fear it. The timing couldn’t be more perfect, as the stars favor personal risk.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t always get the laughs you’re going for, which is why you so appreciate how you’re able to deliver levity now. You are far more entertaining than you might suspect! Your stories help others develop a better sense of humor.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Your success is closely linked to confidence. Maybe you can’t entirely fake being sure of yourself, but the fact that you try is enough. Believing in your ideas will be half the battle.

Convincing the others will be the other half.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have the attitude of a hard worker, and so you’ll be able to handle whatever job comes up. Whether or not it’s within your jurisdiction or expertise is beside the point really.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19).

Children (and those who behave as such) respect you greatly, and yet something stubborn and innate will have a few of them pushing the boundaries anyway.

Keep cool and enforce your position as you said you would.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You would prefer to travel comfortably, first-class if possible; who wouldn’t? And yet, that comfort comes with such a high cost today (spiritually and financially) that it will be worthwhile to take the “coach” alternative.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You feel as though you are standing on the precipice of something grand, overwhelming and dangerous. You’re above this, but you’re not the master of it. Do not let it mesmerize you away from your firm footing.
