Iowa Secretary of State helps lead Newton round table about victim assistance

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate, right, and Rep. Dean Fisher of Garwin came to Newton on Tuesday for a round table discussion at the Jasper County Courthouse. The pair are supporting SB 383, the Iowa Senate version of a bill that will set up identity protection measures, which passed unanimously in the House.

American lawmakers have made many efforts in recent decades to make things safer for victims of domestic violence.

If the efforts of some supporters of an Iowa State Senate bill lead to the passage of SF 383, victims will have another small set of resources.

Tuesday night’s round table discussion, held at the Jasper County Courthouse, went over the provisions of SF 383, which has been placed on the Senate calendar. It gives added anonymity protections to victims of domestic violence and other crimes.

The bill is similar to HF 585, which passed by a 100-0 vote in the House last week. Reps. Dan Kelley (D-Newton) and Greg Heartsill (R-Columbia) both voted for HF 585.

SF 383 is similar to HF 585, and calls for several provisions that will help keep the identity of victims from being published anywhere.

The main provisions of each bill victims a way to receive U.S. mail, register to vote and absentee vote without having addresses or phone numbers published.

Secretary of State Paul Pate and Rep. Dean Fisher (R-Garwin) came to Newton to lead the discussion. Pate has also traveled to

similar meetings in other parts of the state, including Adel and Marshalltown.

Pate said a similar program is already active in 33 states.

“I told the folks in rural counties that this program is as much for them as it is for the urban ones,” Pate said. “The urban areas have more options, and housing options are limited in rural places.”

Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty, the county auditor, Dennis Parrott; Jasper County Recorder Denise Allen and the county’s first assistant attorney, Scott Nicholson, were all at the discussion. So were ROUND TABLE | 3A

Demolition plans continue for former county care facility

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Jasper County Board of Supervisors approved moving forward with the demolition process of the Jasper County Care Facility Tuesday.

Supervisor Joe Brock said asbestos has been removed from the property, 5245 Liberty Ave., and the next step is to work on a bid packet.

“I checked into the engineering for the project and didn’t have much luck finding a demolition engineer, but I talked to Russ (county engineer) and he graciously offered to help get the bids out and help guide us,” Brock said.

The county is hoping to recycle the bricks that make up the property. Brock said it is much cheaper to recycle with 70 to 90 percent of the bricks in condition to be reused.

“I’ve had one local contractor who is interested in the recycling. He has done one building, Lincoln School in Pella, he recycled that,” Supervisor Denny Carpenter said.

Brock said he has also had several contractors contact him about the recycling of the bricks and that he anticipates a lot of interest in the project.

County Engineer Russ Stutt was approved to begin working on a bid packet for the demolition process including any recycling for contractors.

In other business, an updated security system was approved for the engineer’s office, adding five cameras to the property. A camera will be placed on all four sides of the building as well as one mounted on the tower in the middle of the lot to cover the whole yard. The cameras will be provided and FACILITY | 3A

Holocaust survivor, professor to speak at Congregational UCC

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Holocaust survivor Dr. Harold Kasimow and Dr. Tyler Roberts, professor of religious studies at Grinnell College, will share about the Holocaust at a presentation at 7 p.m. April 15 at the Congregational United Church of Christ, 308 E. Second St. N. All are invited to listen to Kasimow’s first-hand account of the event and Roberts’ vast knowledge on the subject after years of research and study.

Now a George Drake Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies at Grinnell College, Kasimow was born in Poland in a small shelter just in time to face the Holocaust. At the age of 4, his family hid from the Nazis in an underground hole with no sunshine or light and hunger all the time. Every day they spent just trying to survive.

He said that he owes his life to a Polish peasant, who risked his and his family’s lives, to hide

and sustain Kasmow’s family during the Nazi occupation of the region.

Kasimow was rescued and has been in the United States since 1949. He has become deeply committed to promoting interfaith dialogue as a path to peace and is a foremost Jewish interpreter of papal contribution to interfaith relations. He has studied with the legendary Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel and earned degrees from the Jewish Theological Seminary and Temple University.

Along with his studies, Kasimow is the author and editor of several books including “John Paul II and Interreligious Dialogue” and “The Search Will Make You Free: A Jewish Dialogue with World Religions.”

Roberts began his journey on religion studies at Brown University, earning his A.B. in philosophy and religion. From there he studied philosophy at Albert-Ludwigs University in Freiburg, Germany, and religion

at Harvard University, where he earned his M.T.S. and Th.D. at the Divinity School.

His research interests include the intersection of religious and philosophical thought in the 19th and 20th centuries, the history and politics of the secular, and the nature and purpose of the academic study of religion.

“Is religion so inherently intolerant that it will always be a source of violence in the world — or can religious faith be part of an intellectually vital, engaged, and realistic view of the world?” Roberts said.

Roberts has published numerous essays along with two books, “Contesting Spirit: Nietzsche, Affirmation, Religion,” which explores Nietzsche’s criticisms of religion and Christianity and “Encountering Religion in a Post-Secular Age.” Contact Jamee A.

Pope, thousands brave rain for Easter in St. Peter’s Square VATICAN CITY (AP) — In an Easter peace wish, Pope Francis on Sunday praised the framework nuclear agreement with Iran as an opportunity to make the world safer, while expressing deep worry about bloodshed in Libya, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Nigeria and elsewhere in Africa.

Cautious hope ran through Francis’ “Urbi et Orbi” Easter message, a kind of papal commentary on the state of the world’s affairs, which he delivered from the central balcony of St. Peter’s Square.

He had just celebrated Mass in rain-whipped St. Peter’s Square for

tens of thousands of people, who huddled under umbrellas or braved the downpour in thin, plastic rain-slickers.

Easter day is “so beautiful, and so ugly because of the rain,” Francis said after Mass about Christianity’s most important feast day. He expressed thanks for the flowers which bedecked the square and which were donated by the Netherlands, but the bright hues of the azaleas and other blossoms seemed muted by the gray skies.

Francis made his first public comments about the recent framework for an accord, reached in Lausanne, Swit-

zerland, and aimed at ensuring Iran doesn’t develop a nuclear weapon.

“In hope we entrust to the merciful Lord the framework recently agreed to in Lausanne, that it may be a definitive step toward a more secure and fraternal world.”

Decrying the plentitude of weapons in the world in general, Francis said: “And we ask for peace for this world subjected to arms dealers, who earn their living with the blood of men and women.”

He denounced “absurd bloodshed and all barbarous acts of violence” in Libya, convulsed by fighting fueled by

Francis prayed that the “roar of arms may cease” in Syria and Iraq, and that peace would come in Africa for Nigeria, South Sudan, Sudan and Congo.

He recalled the young people, many of them targeted because they were Christians, killed last week in a Kenyan university, and lamented kidnappings, by Islamic extremists, that have plagued parts of Africa, including Nigeria.

Demolition begins

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Crews from Iowa Demolition, Inc. of Des Moines moved into the second day of demolition on the former Newton Waterworks building, 216 N. Third Ave. W., Tuesday. Work is set to begin on the demolition of the former Newton Seed Store later this week.

Program

Continued from Page 1A landlords with more than 20 living units certified in the first year, and those with eight to 20 units certified within two years; all other landlords would be trained and certified in three years.

In the training, landlords will learn about crime prevention through environmental design, be taught resident selection and common sense self-defense. It will review good property management, combating illegal activity, dealing with non-compliance and partnership-building with the police department.

Landlords will also be shown how to go on Iowa Courts Online to check on potential tenants and the different between civil and criminal law. A handbook will also be provided, showing what to expect from inspections and sample notices for landlords to use, if applicable.

Landlords will be told the consequences of nuisance violations, both by the tenant and the landlord.

A presentation will be given on steps the landlord can follow in case they need to evict a tenant before calling the police in for assistance. Landlord would have to document why the tenant has to leave before the police can act.

“We’re not looking to charge landlords, tenants, anyone for the training.

We will provide all of the paperwork and help pay for it by increasing the rental unit inspections by $20. It will help us do all of this and then not cost them for the training and any background checks,” Hoebelheinrich said.

The training will take approximately one day for seven to eight hours.

As a part of the program, landlords will be required to have a lease with all of the tenants. A lease template will be provided to all landlords but they are not required to use it as long as the lease they use contains the necessary provision in the program.

Currently there are no restrictions on who the landlords can rent to, however, all landlords are required to complete a background and criminal history check.

The city will complete those checks at no cost but they must be filed as long as the tenant occupies the unit. It is the landlord’s responsibility to make sure tenants follow the city’s crime-free and nuisance policy.

“I would just like to remind the council

that some tenants will be evicted because of this process and possibly some landlords will have their rental units closed for not following the rules of our crime-free program,” Hoebelheinrich said. “This may make some uncomfortable, but it will ultimately make Newton a better, cleaner safer place to live.”

The department is in the process of purchasing a new software module that will track calls for service for all rental units. It will show the officers how many times they have been to a particular unit in a given time period and help have a constant contact with the management system to help them keep up with what is happening in their buildings.

Council Member Jeff Price asked about how people could be evicted but there are no restrictions on who landlords can rent to. Hoebelheinrich said landlords can rent to whoever they want, but if the tenants gather enough “points” for violations they will have to be evicted.

The points are earned through the rental inspection program, if there are nuisance or bad conditions at the property.

“If somebody does get kicked out of a north side apartment and then moves into a south side, are we going to have the tools and do that background check to say ‘hey they just got kicked out of here?’”

Price said.

The option is available through the software to be able to track where people have been, but the department did not choose the additional cost. Hoebelheinrich said he is hoping if the landlord realizes the person moving is a problem, they will contact the police and the department will be able to tell them the person had just been kicked out of a unit.

“It is kind of like a neighborhood watch. If everybody works together you move it out of the area. If the landlords get together and say that person is a problem, then they just won’t rent to them,” Hoebelheinrich said.

He said that in West Des Moines, he was told a certificate is placed that says the unit is a part of crime-free unit housing complex. When people see the certificate, they know what the landlord will not rent to them and they leave before even applying.

“I think there is a lot of great aspects to this whole program and I think it is really balanced both to protect tenants and provide good living space and protect landlords from troublesome, difficult tenants,” Council Member Noreen Otto said.

Round Table Continued from Page 1A domestic abuse victim advocates Kristy Knapp and Liliana Romero, whose territory encompasses 12 counties, along with Jasper and Poweshiek county crisis outreach advocate Kelly Moore.

The group asked pointed questions of Pate and Fisher regarding which types of victims could enroll and utilize the program, and how it will work on an everyday basis. The program would emulate the ones used in other states, and Pate said he’s talked to government officials in Missouri, Kansas and Minnesota for details.

Once victims have documented their case, with something like a police report or a restraining order, they can have their mail routed to a Des Moines-area post office box. It will take a few extra days to receive mail, but it will help reduce their digital footprint, and prevent having to list their new home address after moving to get away from an abusive situation.

The program will also allow victims to get voter registration without having their information listed anywhere accessible to the public. Pate said all government agencies would be required to comply with all aspects of the program.

“It’s meant to be a temporary program,” Pate said.

“It’s meant to give victims time to sort things out, and get back on their feet.”

Pate described the Senate bill as written in broad terms, allowing his office to set up many of the details. He pointed out more than once that it isn’t a million-dollar program; the main costs will be postage, educating the public about it and perhaps processing of paperwork.

Romero asked how undocumented Iowans, who have no photo ID or paperwork of any sort, would enroll in the program.

“I don’t have an answer for that right now,” Pate said.

“We’re a lot farther into this than when we started, and we’ve answered a lot of questions. But there are many things we still have to tackle, and that’s one of them.

California’s done this for a long time; I’ll look at what they do.”

Halferty and Nicholson both asked questions about gun registration, as abuse victims often arm themselves, but the program would encourage not listing a name or address on forms. All in attendance agreed agencies will have to communicate well to make the program work.

Voter identification didn’t loom as a complicated issue, according to Parrot. Social Security Administration and IRS correspondence were brought up as well, with Pate reminding everyone that many of the details will have to be worked out between federal and state agencies.

Pate pointed out that not all victims will be ideal for the program, and it won’t be practical in all cases. Real estate might be able to be put into an LLC to conceal an address, but some situations, like shared custody, might not work well with a no-contact program such as Safe at Home. Pate said the program is not meant to be a cure or solution for domestic violence, which has led to 108 convictions in Jasper County over the past five years.

However, Safe at Home would at least give victims on type of shield while reorganizing their lives.

“When you pass a bill 100-0, it’s not a Republican or Democrat issue,” he said. “It’s a victim issue.”

Opinion

Babbling Brooks

I just don’t ‘get’ competitive eating

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | April 8, 2015

I don’t think any of us really know how rich or poor our families are when we’re growing up. It’s not until we’re older and see how others live that we kind of grasp our place in the socio-economic universe.

My family probably won’t win sympathy from anyone. My mother was usually employed, and there certainly were folks on our block and in our community who had far less. I know we had mostly used clothes and furniture and used the word “someday” often.

When it came to food, my mother shopped on a budget with food stamps, we ate out of cans a lot and avoided using the stove.

We weren’t unique, by any means — but maybe this upbringing is what makes competitive eating so tough to understand.

Almost anyone should relate to being very hungry and eating quickly, and almost all of us have challenged each other to some kind of competition when we were little — whether it’s a race across a parking lot or a contest to

see who can eat a Steak-Um the fastest. The occasional county or state fair competitions seem like traditional family fun.

However, the serious, yearround competitive eaters, who have reputations and followings and fans and haters — well, I guess I just don’t get all that. How could a nation that can’t feed its children and adults condone such a wasteful, self-loathing experiment in how many first-world problems we can exploit?

When I talk about these things in a serious way, my girlfriend, Jacqui, calls me a “fun stealer.” She doesn’t see why I can’t overlook a few faults of humankind for the sake of enjoying a barbecue competition or a hot dog-eating contest. It seems there are just more dark, sickening elements that make competitive eating seem like a dark chapter than there are playful, fun aspects to the so-called sport.

I’ve interviewed and talked to a few people involved in this business, and it’s still something I don’t

quite understand.

I get the freak-show spectator element. If I noticed a competition was taking place at an event I was attending, I would probably watch.

When well-known Omaha-area eating champion Molly Schuyler came to West Des Moines for a recent event that involved breaking some world records, I happened to be in the area, and was tempted to go see the circus.

However, it seems all behavior grows and expands with more exposure, and I hesitate to even bring up competitive eating for fear of giving it too much attention. But with Schuyler having put Iowa on the competitive-eating map (would that be right next to a hospital?) again recently, it seemed important to point out that not everyone gets this strange activity.

Maybe this kind of abusive challenge has been around since the first wild mushroom was yanked out of the soil; since the first carcass was skinned and baked over a flame. That must

have started without T-shirts and sponsors and live tweeting and all the hype given to modern contests.

Last Fourth of July, the Rapid City Journal reported on a South Dakota man who choked and suffocated during a county fair hot-dog eating contest. While this happened at one of the typical community events, rather than a national competition, it shows the danger in trying to fit tons of food into a windpipe — especially hot dogs, which seem the exact shape and size to help block an airway.

The comments in the online version of the story quickly turn to defending eating contests as an American tradition, with the words patriotism and pride in all caps.

Maybe I’m just not quite American enough to see why folks would “train” to do this sort of thing regularly just for money.

Letters to the Editor

Puppy mill horrors hidden in USDA reports Darcy Shaw Newton Thank you for sharing the plight of imprisoned dogs being manufactured in substandard commercial breeding facilities in Iowa. The horrors these dogs are subjected to are painfully difficult to imagine.

May I elaborate on conditions documented by USDA inspections? Graphic details are hidden from the unknowing public unless research is done to obtain the USDA reports.

Hidden behind the “farm” photographs, disguised by retail pet stores, websites and newspaper ads, are multiple non-compliance issues. Consumers pay top dollar for their AKC “purebred” puppy from a “licensed” dog breeder, the facility sight unseen. Non-compliance issues are reported, then breeders are given every opportunity

by USDA inspectors to correct

the problems. Throughout the process, dogs remain in peril instead of being rescued, while substandard commercial dog breeders are allowed an extended period of time for follow up.

These are real, documented issues. Imagine your expensive puppy was not properly weaned, your puppy came from a diseased and neglected set of parents, caged in a filthy environment … rotten teeth, infections, overproduced in stressful conditions, subjected to harsh extremes of Iowa weather. When these dogs are no longer fit to produce, they’re often disposed of. If they’re sick, rather than being given care, they’re destroyed.

Here are just a few of the many documented issues in the past 6 years at Clines Hilltop Kennel in Sully: — Water receptacles with ice in them or brown to greenish water in the receptacles … affects approximately 32 dogs.

— Outdoor enclosures did not have bedding to help conserve body heat and provide for

health and well-being.

— Greenish-brown buildup on canine teeth, encasing the cheek teeth. Gums were bright red, swollen and had white discharge around the teeth.

—Dogs did not have 6 inches of head space in the enclosures they were housed in. These dogs could develop abnormal behaviors affecting physical well-being.

Lack of veterinary care is critical. Disease runs unchecked with dogs who are neglected and deprived of basic needs. Please note another issue involving one substandard breeder in East Central Iowa regarding brucellosis. Brucellosis is highly contagious. A dog with Brucellosis could be transported within Iowa or to another state. Ask a hog rancher what this could mean to the hog industry.

Last week, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence signed a law with the same name as one signed on the federal level by President B i l l Clinton in 1993, w h i c h By Ben Shapiro w a s co-sponsored by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., the presumptive next Senate minority leader. Naturally, Pence found himself on the wrong end of a partisan barrage from ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos for signing that law the following Sunday. It sure is nice to be a Democrat.

What exactly does the law state? The Religious Freedom Restoration Act in Indiana states that “a governmental entity may not substantially burden a person’s exercise of religion, even if the burden results from a rule of general applicability.” That rule does not apply only if the government’s action “is in furtherance of a compelling government interest” and is also “the least restrictive means of furthering that compelling government interest.” If government does act against someone in violation of that person’s religious principles, he or she can assert that violation “as a claim or defense in a judicial or administrative proceeding.”

The law does not specifically single out same-sex marriage as an activity against which a religious person may discriminate, but it certainly holds out that possibility.

Of course, that possibility is already inherent in a little concept we in the United States used to call freedom — freedom to choose how to conduct one’s business and freedom to practice one’s religion in one’s practice of business.

Under a philosophy of freedom, the market solves the general problem of private discrim-

ination, because if one person decides to discriminate against Jews or blacks or gays, he or she loses money and is put out of business for his or her trouble. Nobody has the right, under a philosophy of freedom, to invoke the power of the government’s gun in order to force someone to provide a good or service.

That system is a heck of a lot safer for minorities than a system by which government regulates the proper conduct of voluntary activities.

Black Americans should know that, given that Jim Crow was not merely a system of voluntary discrimination but a government-enforced set of regulations designed to ban voluntary transactions involving blacks. Gays, too, should understand that freedom is far preferable to government-enforced societal standards governing consenting transactions, given that government used to be utilized to discriminate openly against homosexual behavior.

But the left has rewritten the concept of freedom to mean “whatever the government allows you to do,” and leftists now insist that government cannot allow discrimination — unless, of course, the government is itself enforcing discrimination against religious Christians who don’t want to violate their belief in traditional marriage.

Same-sex marriage, it turns out, was never designed to grant legal benefits to samesex couples. That could have been done under a regime of civil unions.

Same-sex marriage was always designed to allow the government to have the power to cram down punishment on anyone who disobeys the government’s vision of the public good. One need not be an advocate of discrimination against gays to believe that government does not have the ability to enforce the prevailing social standards of the time in violation of individual rights.

Father’s noisy lovemaking is pain to daughter’s ears DEAR ABBY: I’m the mother of an 18-year-old daughter. Her dad and I are divorced and she lives with him.

We were married 20 years and I know he’s a good parent, except for one thing.

My daughter has told me her father and his partner sometimes engage in very loud lovemaking when she’s in her room, and it embarrasses her. She’s shy to begin with, so she hasn’t said anything to him.

I feel angry and frustrated because I don’t know if I should say something to him about it. I have suggested she put on some loud music or use headphones if she can’t bring this up with him. I think she wants me to intercede, but I don’t feel it’s my business to do so. Can these adults be that clueless?

Please help. — CAROL ON THE EAST COAST DEAR CAROL: Yes, adults can be that “clueless.” Her father and his partner may not realize how much noise they make. Headphones and turning on loud music are good suggestions.

But remember that clear communication is important in relationships both personal and professional.

At 18, your daughter is old enough to start speaking up for herself. Encourage her to talk about this problem privately with her father. But if she can’t, then you should handle this for her.

DEAR ABBY: My husband had an affair 18 years ago. We worked through it and are doing well in our marriage.

My question concerns my motherin-law and sister-in-law, both of whom continue to remain in contact with the “other woman.” They still worship at the same church, bought her baby gifts, etc. I have mentioned how it hurts me that they are Facebook friends with her, but it has fallen on deaf ears. I know they have known her longer than me, but I am FAMILY. Abby, I would like to know if I am crazy for letting this bother me. Should

I let it go? I have forgiven my husband, but what they are doing makes it hard for me at times. What should I do? — MY HEART HURTS DEAR HEART HURTS: By now you should have realized that you can’t control your husband’s mother or sister.

That they chose to continue to maintain their relationship with this woman in spite of the fact that she nearly wrecked your marriage is regrettable.

But all this happened 18 years ago, and your marriage survived it. If you can let this go, I think you should. A wise person once said that we can be as happy as we choose to be. Lessen your emotional dependence on your inlaws, and I predict you will be happier.

DEAR ABBY: I find it difficult to lie. This trait suits me well except in one area. When friends or family share information about being ill, experiencing a death or any sort of tragedy, almost everyone else responds with, “You’re in my prayers.”

I am an atheist and do not claim I will pray for those individuals because that would be lying. So what is the proper response when prayer is off the table? — TEXAS READER DEAR READER: A proper response would be, “I’m sorry for what you’re going through,” “I’ll send positive thoughts for So-and-So’s recovery,” or, “How sad. I’m sorry to hear it.”

They were told that two suspects entered the bank with long-necked guns, secured an undisclosed amount of money and escaped in a white Buick Lesabre without license plates. Further investigation resulted in the arrests of 24-year-old Andrew Palmer.

MASON CITY — A Mason City man has been accused of stealing a custom-made, three-wheeled bicycle that’s worth about $3,000. John Ray Hanse, 41, is charged with felony second-degree theft.

He remained in custody Tuesday at the Cerro Gordo County Jail on $2,000 bond.

A criminal complaint says Hanse was spotted in possession of the yellow Greenspeed three-wheeled bicycle Thursday.

guilty to sex abuse

DUBUQUE — A former Dubuque police officer has pleaded not guilty to charges that he had sexual contact with a 14-yearold girl. Kyle C. Cross, 29, pleaded not guilty to two charges of third-degree sexual abuse. A judge accepted the written plea Monday. A message left with Cross’ attorney seeking comment on his behalf wasn’t immediately returned Tuesday. Court documents say a woman contacted Dubuque police in February to report her 14-year-old daughter had run away.

Iowa House committee OKs tax exemption bill on honeybees DES MOINES (AP) — Legislation that would exempt the sale of honeybees from sales and use taxes was approved o v e r whelmingly by an Iowa House c o m mittee Tuesday, Dan Kelley though one lawmaker questioned the point of the bill.

The Ways and Means Committee voted 22-1 in support of the bill.

It now heads to the full House. The rate for

both the sales tax and use tax is 6 percent, and only one must be paid.

Rep. Dan Kelley (D-Newton) supported the bill when it went through a subcommittee, noting that populations of honeybees are decreasing around the country. He said it was important that Iowa address this issue, and recommended the exemption as one solution.

“A sales tax elimination is a step forward,” he said. “Perhaps we can get more honeybee hobbyists enthused about this activity and also help those who are already in the hobby to expand their purchases.”

But Rep. Jerry Kearns (D-Keokuk) questioned if an exemption was the solution and voted against the bill.

“I’m not a honeybee hater,” he said. “But it seems to me that taking the sales tax off the sales of honeybees is not going to help them at all.”

Kearns recommended that the state invest more money in a university that can properly investigate the insect’s dwindling populations.

The bipartisan Legislative Services Agency says if the bill becomes law, Iowa’s revenue would be reduced by less than $100,000 a year.

Court considers when dementia makes person unable to consent The Associated Press DES MOINES — A former state lawmaker accused of raping his wife in a nursing home is forcing an Iowa court to confront a little-discussed question of aging: When is a person suffering from dementia unable to consent to sex?

The case centers on Henry and Donna Lou Rayhons, both 78, who got married seven years ago in a union that seemed to offer a second chance at love for the two, who had both been widowed. But their domestic routine of church

activities and political functions unraveled as Donna’s health began to fail.

Last year, Donna Lou Rayhons was moved into a nursing home because she was suffering from dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

A family conflict developed over how to care for her, culminating in a meeting in which the nursing home staff told her husband that his wife was no longer mentally capable of legally consenting to have sex.

State prosecutors say Henry Rayhons — then

a long-serving Republican state representative — ignored that message. On Wednesday, he will stand trial for sexually assaulting his wife, who died in August. The charges were filed days after she died.

Many older couples experience the hardships of illness, mental decline and living apart, but what happened with the Rayhons has little precedent. Experts could not recall another rape case that happened because a previously consenting spouse could no longer legally acquiesce.

Former SNL cast member running for Congress in Iowa The Associated Press DES MOINES — A former Saturday Night Live cast member is running for Congress in Iowa, and he says it isn’t a laughing matter.

Gary Kroeger said he will run in the 2016 Democratic primary for Iowa’s 1st District. The 57-year-old Iowa native says he wants to focus on progressive policies, such as investing in education and protecting the environment.

“I’m a lion of liberalism. I truly embrace these policies of civil rights, economic equity, economic prosperity and upward mobility,”

Kroeger Kroeger said Tuesday.

Kroeger appeared on Saturday Night Live from 1982 through 1985, and is perhaps best known for portraying Donny Osmond in a sketch with Julia Louis-Dreyfus. After a long entertainment career, he moved back to Iowa 12 years ago to raise his two sons. He now

works for an advertising agency and lives in Waterloo.

Freshman Republican Rep. Rod Blum currently represents the district, which covers the northeastern part of the state. Two other Democrats are already in the primary race: Cedar Rapids Councilwoman Monica Vernon and Cedar Rapids businessman Ravi Patel.

Kroeger said he hasn’t spoken about running for Congress with a fellow SNL alumnus, Minnesota Sen. Al Franken.

Kroger said his run for office is no joke, but he hopes to enjoy the process.

Pella Christian High School celebrates 75th anniversary Newton Daily News “Appreciate your Christian training to prepare you for the work God has planned for you to do as a citizen of God’s Kingdom.”

A member of Pella Christian High School’s first graduating class, the class of 1941, recently gave this piece of advice to today’s students. Constituents of the Pella Christian High School (PCHS) community plan to spend April 18 showing their appreciation for the 75 years of Christian training that has taken place there.

Everyone is welcome to join the celebration during the open house at the school from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. that day.

Tours of the school and athletic facilities will be available from 9:30-11 a.m. and historical displays of each decade of the school’s existence may be viewed in the gym. A picnic lunch will be offered for a free will offering from 11 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. At 1 p.m. a program in the PCHS Vermeer Auditorium will highlight God’s faithfulness to the school community throughout the years and will end with a time of prayer.

The road to success usually starts from humble beginnings.

Pella Christian’s story is no different. Starting in a remodeled house, purchased for $6,000, Pella Christian High School opened its doors in 1940 to 41 students, five staff and a vision

for secondary Christian education.

Members of those early classes remember walking long distances to get to school or boarding with friends or relatives in town while school was in session. By 1949, Pella Christian had outgrown the house and a new school building was constructed on an 8-acre piece of property. Unfortunately, the new facility was destroyed by a fire in 1964 and had to be rebuilt.

Although subsequent additions were made to the 1964 structure, the land-locked property precluded further expansion.

In 1997, the board recognized the need for additional space and new facilities to better serve its students. That vision became a reality in 2008 when Pella Christian moved to its Screw Applica p pp 5 yr yyr.r.r. Workman Workm Wor k km kma Builders Builde Bui lders lde rs Risk Risk Ri Ris

new 43 acre, $20 million campus. Through God’s grace and faithfulness, the original $6,000 investment had yielded amazing dividends. This year, Pella Christian High School along with its 264 students and 4,644 alumni is celebrating its 75th Anniversary, but now on its own 43 acre campus. God is good and has truly blessed the vision of our founders.

The 75th Anniversary Committee formulated a year-long celebration, based on the theme “Founded on the Rock — Forward in Faith.” Each month, the school focused on one decade in the school’s history, with Throwback Thursdays in the classroom and in chapels. These days have highlighted school events, U.S. and world events and music from that decade. The anni-

versary will culminate in the celebration activities mentioned earlier.

The mission of Pella Christian is and always has been to educate and nurture each student to serve in God’s world.

In recent years, the school has implemented a number of new policies and programs to further our mission.

PCHS has a 1:1 Program where each student is given an iPad to facilitate more research-based and project based learning as well as classroom opportunities. It has started a seven-day Winterim program, modeled after college interims, where students have the opportunity to explore possible career choices. Students can take specialized classes at school, intern with local businesses or go on educational trips to such places as Chica-

The Western Iowa volunteer county leaders include Ellen Fairchild (Boone), Jerry Tormey (Polk), Nathan Unsworth ( Jasper), Sue Kelly (Decatur), Cheryl Scherr (Marion), Kurt Kelsey (Hardin), and LuAnn Garvey (Hamilton). Run Warren Run is announcing more than 20 county leaders across the state.

“The issues that Elizabeth Warren champions are so important,” said Jasper County Leader Nathan Unsworth, of Newton. “Our candidates are better prepared through a discussion through the primary process.”

These leaders will serve as points of contact for the Run Warren Run campaign in their county, supporting volunteers to organize visibility events, phone banks, letter-writing, social media and other activities to demonstrate to Senator Warren that she has the support she needs in Iowa to run and win in the caucuses.

Cardinal girls claim second at South Tama meet Newton girls win four events, boys claim one event title

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News TAMA — It just doesn’t seem fair.

Newton High’s track teams competed in an indoor meet with the sun shining on a perfect, warm March day, and Tuesday, the Cardinal athletes competed under less-than ideal spring weather at the South Tama Early Bird Invitational.

The Cardinals battled the elements in good fashion coming out with five event titles. Newton’s girls finished second to host South Tama in the team standings in the field of seven schools. East Marshall won the boys’ team title in a field of eight teams, and Newton’s boys placed fifth.

“We had a great night of competition considering the weather was not as favorable as we would have liked,” said Rachel Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Tomas, Newton girls’ head coach.

Newton High’s Sarah Kalkhoff, seen here competing in a meet last year, won the shot put and discus events at Tuesday’s South Tama Early Bird Invitational track meet. The NHS girls placed second and the boys were fifth in the team standings.

Raiders keep win streak alive

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — The Collins-Maxwell/Baxter boys’ track and field team did not lose an invitational in 2014.

And despite a few bumps, bruises and academic black eyes, the Raiders kept that undefeated streak alive Tuesday at the PCM Coed Invitational.

Bryce Kemp won two individual events, Kyle Cather won the 400 hurdles and Hunter Gunderson claimed a big win in the high jump as the Raiders collected 166 points and bested Heart of Iowa Conference rival North Polk by 15 to take the team title.

The Raiders are not a finished product yet, but CMB coach Neil Seales liked the effort of his guys.

“I think we did some really good things,” Seales said. “But we also have some stuff to work on.

I was pleased with how hard we competed. You never know for sure what you have until the bullets start to fly, but I was really proud of the way they competed. The guys are showing a lot of improveTroy Hyde/Daily News ment.”

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Patrick Girard scored a personal-best throw of 53 feet, 4.75 inches in the shot put on Tuesday in Monroe. Girard placed second in the event.

UConn beats Notre Dame for third straight NCAA title TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — Geno Auriemma and his UConn Huskies are a perfect 10.

The Hall of Fame coach joined some elite company in UCLA’s John Wooden after tying the Wizard of Westwood with his 10th NCAA Tournament title.

“Obviously it’s a very significant number because that’s the number that’s been out there and people want to talk about it. I’ll be the first to say I’m not John Wooden and I got a bunch of friends who’d tell you I’m right, I’m not” Wooden, Auriemma said. “As I said the other day I just think what we’ve done here in the last 20 years is pretty remarkable in its own right.

“I’ll let the people who write the history decide where I fit in.”

Kaleena Mosqueda-Lew-

is and Moriah Jefferson each scored 15 points Tuesday night to lead the Huskies to a 63-53 victory over Notre Dame. It was UConn’s third straight title; Auriemma and the Huskies have won all 10 of their trips to the national championship game.

“Each day after January 1, this team just kept proving over and over again,” Auriemma said.

“You wouldn’t notice this by the scores. Every day this team kept working, they deserve everything they have.”

Breanna Stewart added 15 rebounds and eight points for UConn (38-1). The two-time AP Player of the Year has saved her best games for the brightest lights.

Peter, Telfer guide PCM girls to runner-up finish

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — Two Prairie City-Monroe seniors were at the top of their game in front of their home fans Tuesday night.

Rachel Peter and Grace Telfer both won two individual events and accounted for more than half of the Mustangs’ first-place finishes during the PCM Coed

Invitational.

Those efforts helped PCM to a second-place finish even though the Mustangs were without one of their top point producers.

the first woman ever to achieve that. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was the only men’s player to do it when he played for Wooden’s Bruins.

“We had to work hard this is one,” Stewart said with tears streaming down her face. “This is one of the hardest things we’ve had to do since I’ve been here.”

She stated when she came to UConn that her goal was to win four championships. She’s now one title away from being the first to win four straight. Stewart has been a huge reason why the Huskies have been on their won three consecutive titles.

Auriemma took Stewart out with about 30 seconds to play and gave her a big hug. The 6-foot-4 star is the latest in a long line of

PELLA — Nothing was right about Tuesday’s soccer competition. It was cold, windy and damp.

Newton High’s Cardinals got the word when the team boarded the bus that the varsity game would be played first.

“We just weren’t mentally ready to play the early game,” said Sackda Viravong, Newton head coach.

“We were tenative in our play in the first half, falling behind 2-0.”

Newton scored two second-half goals to tie host Pella Christian’s Eagles. The teams went into overtime. Viravong said the Eagles found the net for the game-winning goal a minute into the second overtime period.

“We’ve had three straight games where the score was 3-2. We’ve lost two in a row,” Viravong said.

“But, we’ll take a 2-2 record at this point and move forward. We just have to continue to improve on possessing the ball and making decisions.”

Maher leads PCM girls to win in golf opener

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News OSKALOOSA — Breanna Maher tied for medalist honors with a 45 and Taylor Phifer carded a 48 for the Prairie City-Monroe girls golf team on Tuesday night.

Playing on the par-35 Harvest Point Golf Course, the Mustangs finished in first place with a 207. Albia was

two strokes back at 209 and Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont finished with a 311.

Maher’s personal-best round included two pars. She tied Albia’s Lexi Van Polen, but Van Polen was given the individual title after a card back went in her favor.

Sabrina Reed and Ellie Steenhoek both shot 57 to finalize the Mustangs’ counting scores.

Abby Van Haaften turned in a 66, as well.

“It’s great to start the season with a win,” PCM coach Val Edwards said. “I am really pleased with these scores, for the first meet, and should only get better as the season progresses.”

Sydney De Bruin was second to Van Polen with a 53.

Albia also got a 54 from Niki Angan and a 57 from Jade Van

Champions Continued from Page 1B Kemp won the 110-meter high hurdles in 15.21 seconds and also helped the Raiders go 1-2 in the long jump. Kemp won the long jump with a leap of 20 feet, 6 inches.

The final jump matched teammate Brady Stover, but Kemp took the gold because his second-best jump was further.

“I still have a ways to go. I just need to continue to work hard and coach Seales will get me back to where I need to be,” Kemp said.

Following North Polk (151) in the team standings was Knoxville at 122, Bondurant-Farrar at 91 and host Prairie City-Monroe at 82.

Further back from the pack was Pleasantville (42) and Pella Christian (32).

“This team has progressed a lot,” PCM coach Collin Harrison said. “It’s not about us getting first and second necessarily. It’s more about getting PRs every time we compete.”

The Mustangs’ only win on the night came from senior Maverick McAtee, who won the 1,600-meter run in 4 minutes, 58.38 seconds.

“It was a good start to the year and I felt like I had a lot left,” said McAtee.

CMB showed off its depth Tuesday. The Raiders won five events but were second in five and third in four more.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Luke Pendroy helped the Mustangs finish second in the shuttle relay Tuesday in Monroe. PCM was narrowly defeated by CMB.

Cather and Stover went 1-2 in the 400 hurdles. Gunderson and PCM’s Skyler Koder both marked at 6-0 in the high jump, but the CMB junior collected the top prize because he hit the bar one less time.

CMB and PCM grabbed the top two positions in the shuttle hurdle relay.

The Raiders’ foursome of Cather, Brad Ritter, Stover and Joey Nissen were .19 seconds faster than PCM’s group of Ricky Reeve, Lucas Pendroy, Austin Sneller and Koder.

Other top performances from CMB included Patrick Girard, who had a personal-best throw of 53-4.75 in the shot put. He was defeated by Knoxville’s Nathan Winters, who scratched his first three throws before unleashing a winning heave of 53-10.75.

Kemp was second in the 100 and third in the 200. Nis-

sen was third in the 110 high hurdles and Evan Bianchi took third in the 1,600 with a time of 5:02.77. Gunderson crossed third in the 400.

The Raiders also were second in the distance medley and 4x800 relays.

The distance medley included Zach Schafer, Jon Engle, Blake Coughenour and Hunter Gunderson, while the 4x800 featured Creighton Caple, Bianchi, Engle and Jack Cheville.

PCM’s other top finish came in the discus where Logan Gilman collected the bronze with a toss of 118-10.

Both CMB and PCM return to action at 4:30 p.m. Friday. This time, the Raiders will host the meet in Baxter.

The sprint medley relay team of Hugen, Miller, Messick and Van Gorp were third, too.

The Mustangs are back in action at 4:30 p.m. Thursday when they travel east to the E-B-F invitational.

Continued from Page 1B absence of Vos was felt in the team standings, it also allowed Martin to see where she can get the most out of her team.

“We were happy with our performances tonight,” Martin said. “The girls really stepped up and handled the lineup changes well.”

PCM finished with 132 points and that trailed Heart of Iowa Conference rival North Polk by 22.5 points in the team race. Bondurant-Farrar was third with 112 followed by Knoxville (106) Pella Christian (91), Chariton (80.5) and Pleasantville (38).

Peter won the 1,500-meter run in a season-best time of 5 minutes, 16.48 seconds and crossed first in the 3,000 with a time of 11:31.12.

The Central College recruit hasn’t been pushed much this season, but she needed every ounce of energy she could find in the 1,500 as she was forced into a dead sprint for the final 100 meters to hold off North Polk’s Amelia Lesher, who hit the line .07 seconds after Peter.

“She made a little surge and got close with one lap to go, but I wasn’t going to just let her have it,” Peter said. “I knew from then that it was going to be a battle to the finish and I just prepared myself to be able to sprint at the end.

“I am not used to having to sprint at the end. It’s usually all about your heart at that point.

I haven’t had much competition yet this year so this was good for both us.”

Telfer won both the shot put and discus to give the Mustangs 20 big points. She threw a lifetime personal record in the discus with a toss of 96-9 and was marked at 36 feet even in the shot put.

The other three wins for the Mustangs came from Rachel Stafford in the 800 and the 4x200 and 4x400 relay teams.

PCM also claimed three second-place finishes and three third-place finishes.

Stafford won the 800 in

2:37.03. She also was a part of both winning relays.

The 4x200 was missing Vos but still won with Mackenzie Clarke, Emily Hugen, Stafford and Ashley Van Gorp. They crossed the line in 1:53.96.

CMB-CN boys golf team struggles in season opener

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News STORY CITY — The season opener for the Coll i n s - M a x w e l l / B a x t e r - C olo-NESCO boys golf team did not go as planned for coach Dana Accola on Monday.

Grant Waline fired a 39 and the other three counting scores for Roland-Story were all lower than CMB-CN’s top golfer as the Norse beat the Raiders 167-195.

Waline’s medalist honor was backed up with a 41 from John Barclay, a 43 from Colton

Arnold and a 44 from Cole Matheason.

CMB’s top golfer was Garrett Huske, who fired 45. Jake Hennick shot a 46, while the final two counting scores came from two Colo-NESCO students — Isaiah Texeira and Brevin Johnston.

Texeira and Johnston each turned in a 52.

CMB returns to the links at 4:15 p.m. Thursday when it travels to West Marshall.

Newton Continued from Page 1B

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’s Jackson Forck (23) controls the ball during a home match earlier this season. Forck scored the tying goal Tuesday at Pella Christian on a long free kick. Newton lost 3-2 in double overtime.

Soccer Continued from Page 1B The Cardinals broke through with 23 minutes, 18 seconds remaining in the second half. Josh Ventling connected on a penalty kick to make it 2-1.

Viravong said Newton tied the game on a long free kick by Jackson Forck. He said Forck’s kick drove the Pella Christian goalkeeper inside the net.

“The keeper caught the ball, but the ball had cross the goal line,” Viravong said. “We had opportunties throughout the game to score. We had several breakaways against Pella Christian. Their keeper made a couple of really good saves.”

Viravong said the Cardinals had a couple shots hit

the cross bar. He said the Cardinals were called for off sides when they scored a couple of times.

Newton had 14 shots on goal to Pella Christian’s 11.

Newton goalkeeper Grant Davidson made eight saves.

The Cardinals had five corner-kick opportunities.

“When they scored in the second overtime, we didn’t clear the ball out.

We tried to dribble through traffic and they took it away from us. The goal came on a deflection. We need to improve on finishing on offense.”

Newton has a week to work on its game. The Cardinals travel to Knoxville on April 14.

“The weather was a big factor in our meet last night, times were not outstanding,” said Tom Bartelo, Newton boys’ head coach. “The boys competed well considering the conditions and we did have a few top finishers and personal-bests.”

Bartello said Tuesday’s meet was a good practice run for what a meet can look and feel like in poor weather conditions. While it can make events tougher, it was a good learning opportunity for the athletes so they can be more prepared to run competitively in all conditions, he said.

“Our meet on Thursday will likely be similar conditions and now they have an idea of what to expect and how to better prepare for these types of meets,” Bartello said. Newton’s

PCM wins at Lynnville-Sully golf meet; Hawks’ Trettin is medalist

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News LYNNVILLE — Rain stayed away while Lynnville-Sully, Prairie City-Monroe and Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont golfers played a nine-hole meet at Diamond Trail Golf Course Tuesday.

“Tonight’s meet wasn’t as favorable for us against PCM and Eddyville,” said Bryan Dejong, Lynnville-Sully head coach.

The Hawks won on their home course Monday, but finished second Tuesday. PCM’s Mustangs placed six golfers in the top 10 on their way to a team win. PCM finished with

Women Continued from Page 1B outstanding UConn players that Auriemma has coached, including Rebecca Lobo, Diana Taurasi, Sue Bird and Maya Moore.

Those players have helped Auriemma win those 10 championships over 20 years. It took Wooden 12 years to get to 10.

“I just know that in our sport, from 1995 to today, what we’ve done against our peers is as good if not better than anybody else has done in their sport against their peers,” Auriemma said. “I don’t care whether it’s harder in that sport.”

Auriemma won his title one night after fellow USA Basketball Olympic coach Mike Krzyzewski won his fifth men’s championship at Duke.

“Our Dad was very proud of Geno and Mike and how throughout their years as collegiate head basketball coaches they have diligently led their student-athletes to be successful on the court, in the classroom and in their lives,” Wooden’s children Nan and Jim Wooden said in a statement.

Notre Dame’s Jewell Loyd did all she could to get the Irish over the top. Coach Muf-

a 164 team score followed by Lynnville-Sully with 176 and EBF with 188.

Lynnville-Sully’s senior Ben Trettin recorded his second straight individual victory on Diamond Trail. Trettin was the meet’s medalist with a 38.

EBF’s Carter Roose shot a 39 for runner-up honors and Reid Jenkins of PCM took third with a 41.

Jenkins tied with Mustang teammates Chase Keuning, Ryan Broderson and Wade Hill, who also fired 41s for the meet. PCM’s Noah Lanphier had a 43 and Ryan Hill shot a 44.

Baker Zegars of Lynnville-Sully carded a 44 as the Hawks’ No. 2 golfer of the

day. Braden Phifer of PCM finished at 45. Three golfers — PCM’s Dayton Boell and Lynnville-Sully’s Bayley Morvant and Kolton Fisk — each came in at 47.

Kyle Van Dyke and Caleb Jansen of Lynnville-Sully posted 48s. Holden Jansen shot a 68.

PCM’s Elijah Sperfsiage and Jackson Thomas shot a 54 and a 55, respectively.

Lynnville-Sully takes on English Valley and host BGM Thursday at Brooklyn. PCM plays Dallas Center-Grimes and host Pella Thursday in Pella at Bos Landen Golf Course.

fet McGraw had her team back in the championship game for the fourth time in five seasons. The Irish have come up short each time, including the last two against UConn.

Notre Dame’s lone title came in 2001.

“It was a great accomplishment to get here,” McGraw said. “Was disappointing we weren’t able to play our game.”

Loyd had 12 points for the Irish, going 4 for 18 from the field. She missed all eight of her shots in the second half.

The Irish (36-3) were able to slow the Huskies in the early going, not letting the Huskies get any kind of run going on offense. On one of the rare fast break opportunities After the Irish cut it to five to start the second half, UConn scored seven straight to open up a double-digit advantage.

The Irish wouldn’t go away, thanks to Brianna Turner, who missed the earlier meeting which the Huskies won by 18

points.

S h e had eight straight points for the Irish in the second half, including banking in a shot from the top of the key as the shot clock was reaching zero.

That got the Irish within 5448.

After the teams traded baskets, Mosqueda-Lewis scored seven straight to restore the double-digit advantage with just over four minutes left and Notre Dame couldn’t recover.

Turner finished with 14 points and 10 rebounds.

The Connecticut-Notre Dame matchup was just the second time in the history of the tournament that the same teams played in the final in consecutive years. UConn beat Tennessee in 2003 and 2004.

It was also the 55th meeting between the top two teams in the AP poll with the No. 1 team holding a 34-21 lead. UConn, which finished the season atop the poll, has been involved in the last five of them.
