Bishop appointed to national veterans committees Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News The Newton Community School District’s fleet of buses will take on the same number of routes next year, but their paths will look much different. Those routes and walking distances were discussed at Monday’s Board of Education meeting.

Newton Schools addressing busing issues NCSD to eliminate hubs, transfers

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Busing was a major topic of discussion at Monday night’s regular Newton Community School District Board of Education meeting.

While there were no votes or action taken on busing, a transfer procedure and a report from transportation supervisor Curt Roorda got discussions rolling about enrollment balance at the district’s four K-4 campuses and how to get the district’s estimated 1,400 bus riders to school efficiently next year.

Roorda has been working since January on bus routes for Thomas Jefferson, Emerson Hough, Aurora Heights and Woodrow Wilson elementary

schools, as well as the Berg intermediate and middle schools and Newton High School. He covered a number of important positive aspects and challenges to redesigning the bus routes.

“I used as much data as I could get from Infinite Campus,” Roorda said. “The only students I don’t have in there now are (next year’s) kindergartners.”

The best news Roorda had to present was about the removal of hubs and transfers from the system. Except for a group of fewer than 20 Newton Christian School students — who will be shuttled from the Berg Complex — all Newton students will be directly bused to the campus where they go to school, without having to change buses.

This was one of the stated aims of a recent effort to involve the public in redesigning district boundaries.

RSP & Associates, a Kansas-based firm, charged the district fees totaling at least $15,000 for crunching data, redesigning suggested boundary zones and conducting public input forums last fall. The board later voted to adopt a map that will put about 275 students in each of the four K-4 elementary schools.

The other good news is the reconfiguration, combined with the re-opening of Emerson Hough as a regular elementary school, will put many more students closer to their schools.

Jasper County Treasurer Doug Bishop has been appointed to serve on the National Association of Counties (NAC o) Ve t e r ans and Military Services C o m Bishop mittee and the Community, Economic and Workforce Development Steering Committee. He has also been named to serve on NACo’s Rural Action Caucus.

“I am honored to join key NACo committees that are focused on issues that are important to our county, state and residents,” Bishop said.

“By participating in these committees, Jasper County has a seat at the table with federal decision-makers who are working with us to achieve county priorities. Jasper County has a proud history of supporting veterans. It is a privilege to be appointed to these committees and I plan to continue to move veteran’s issues to the forefront.”

The Veterans and Military Services Committee is responsible for developing and highlighting county best practices and policies to promote innovative programs, services and ben-

efits for the nation’s military, veterans and their families.

NACo’s Community, Economic and Workforce Development Steering Committee has jurisdiction over matters pertaining to housing, community and economic development, and workforce development programs.

Particular emphasis is placed on advocating for funding for federal programs such as the Community Development Block Grant program, the Home Investment Partnerships program, Economic Development Assistance programs and the Workforce Investment Opportunity Act program.

RAC is the voice for America’s rural counties before Congress and the Administration. Nearly two-thirds of the nation’s 3,069 counties are designated as rural, with a combined population of 60 million.

United Way of New signage planned for Iowa Speedway Jasper County allocates funds to local nonprofits

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Newton Daily News More than $224,000 in funding has been allocated to nonprofit agencies thanks to the United Way of Jasper County.

During Tuesday’s United Way Annual Meeting, executive director Jessica Lowe announced that 16 nonprofit agencies were awarded financial support for 2016-17. The funds will help provide direct health and human services that assist Jasper

County residents.

“The funds raised and allocated by United Way will truly impact thousands of lives,” Lowe said. “The money raised locally stays local to help those in need of assistance here in Jasper County.”

L o w e said 18 local providers applied for funding for 25 programs for the 2016-17 fiscal year.

Striking new signage will greet visitors at Iowa Speedway this season.

Newton City council recently OK’d the permanent directional signs guiding visitors around the Iowa Speedway area.

“I had an event held out there for several businesses and I know a lot of them ended up at the main office trying to find where the suites were located. Even after getting directions, I think this will be truly beneficial,” councilwoman Miranda Kulis said.

The monument style signs will contain two panels, each approximately 18.5 square feet in size. The

In Brief

Worship with ‘Holden Evening Prayer’ Saturday “Holden Evening Prayer” will be offered at 5:30 p.m. Saturday at Holy Trinity in Newton.

Using contemporary and inclusive language, the simple verser service follows a traditional Lutheran form. The liturgy, used weekly at Holden Village, Chelan, Wash., has been used around the world.

Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Newton and St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church in Sully, used it as the basis for their Lenten worship services this year, although it is appropriate to use at any evening service.

It was written in 1985-86 by Marty Haugen when he was musician-in-residence at Holden Village.

Generally, worshipers enjoy singing “Holden Evening Prayer.” For persons who have never experienced this liturgy, this is an opportunity to try it.

For persons who enjoy ‘Holden Evening Prayer,” this week’s Saturday service provides an opportunity to enjoy it again.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The Rev. Steve Heerema, Marcy Milburn and Jim Samson of the Newton Church of They Way stand in front of the church parsonage, which is scheduled to be torn down on Monday to make room for new a 700 seat worship center.

The Way expanding with new worship center

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Growth leads to expansion and that is exactly what brought Newton’s Church of The Way to begin work on a 700 seat worship center where the current parsonage sits.

Founded in 2009, The Way currently brings in more than 600 people to its 275 capacity worship center for weekend services.

“Our attendance right now, we are running four services, and we have close to 600 people, depending on the Sunday, coming here,” The Rev. Steve Heerema said. “The plan is that we are going to have a ground breaking ceremony on May 1, and we are going to build a new 700 seat worship center.”

The church has been feeling a squeeze in the pews for a while and spent the last two years praying about what to do.

“Most people will tell you that when you have something that is 85 percent full, it is full. Most people don’t like it when it is 100 percent full because we all have our comfort zones. So we’re basically full at about 225,” Heerema said.

The new center will house worship services along with

rooms for the nursery and additional classrooms.

“It’s basically going to be a big open box. It’s not anything high-faluting or fancy or crazy, we just need the space,” Heerema said.

To construct the $2.5 million structure, the parsonage, which has been used for church offices, will be torn down. Work has already started with tree removal around the building, and initial demolition of the house is set to begin Monday. Any doors, windows or other salvageable items from the house will be donated to Habitat for Humanity.

While the scope of the project led the church to hire a contractor from out of town, any chances to use local contractors on the project was taken advantage of.

“We have deliberately tried to use and talk to local contractors.

We have several local businesses that are subcontractors,” Heerema said. “Not everybody can do this kind of work but the ones that could, we talked to. I think the electrical and plumbing will be from Newton.

“Wherever we can do business in Newton, we’ll try to do that. This vision goes beyond us, we want to enhance the community and be a benefit to Newton.”

Along with the worship cen-

OPEN HOUSE

ter, a new parking lot will be added north of the building. The parking lot will bring an additional 110 spaces to the already available 44 spaces and be completed in the fall.

The current worship center will become the home for the church’s youth ministries, which is also growing at rapid pace.

“Now, on Sunday mornings, this end of the church will be for the kids. They can have the large groups upstairs in the old worship center and then the downstairs will be available for crafts and the Journey 252 ministry,” Heerema said.

To pay for the addition, church members took on a three year pledge commitment to compliment money the church has on hand.

“Our goal is to have the project paid for in three years,” Heerema said.

As a substantial part of the project starts in less than a week, Heerema has one overwhelming feeling about the church that started only six years go.

“I’m excited — it’s going to be good,” he said.

Choices to Host God’s Not Dead 2 movie study group Can the existence of God be proven, and if so, what does it mean for our lives today? The “God’s Not Dead 2” movie released in theaters nationwide on April 1 explores the evidence for God’s existence, and addresses the increasing battle people face of sharing their faith in the public square.

Starting at 6:30 p.m. April 21 at the Discover Hope building, 219 N. Second Ave. W. in Newton, Choices is hosting five-week small groups featuring video clips from the “God’s Not Dead 2” movie. The series is designed to help people discover what they truly believe in, and how to boldly stand up for it in the face of opposition.

In “God’s Not Dead 2,” a Christian teacher in a public school is asked an honest question about Jesus, and her reasoned response lands her in big trouble. As the principal and superintendent join forces with a zealous civil liberties group, an epic court case could expel God from the classroom — and the public — once and for all. The film leads viewers to consider this: if they don’t take a stand today, will they even have a chance tomorrow?

Choices is a local Christian Bookstore located at 101 W. Second St. N. in Newton.

Buses

transporting all students — by bus — who live one-half mile or farther from their assigned school.

About half, or 1,400, of the district’s 2,800plus students ride the bus to school regularly.

There are 600 students who live outside the city limits of Newton — many of whom live on rural roads — and about 800 who live in town.

Roorda talked more about rural routes. He said there will be some buses that stop at more than one school, so K-4 students will be on the same bus as older children in some cases, but there will be no “transfer points” where a student would need to board a different bus.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan said Roorda’s recommended half-mile radius for next year’s routes not only exceeds state-law requirements but also is even better than the district’s own written policy. State law requires schools to provide transportation only when K-8 students live more than 1.5 miles away.

Middle-schoolers will continue to be bused if living more than two miles from Berg, and Newton High School students will receive transportation if more than three miles from NHS. Callaghan said the district looked at the possibility of providing free transportation to all students, but that simply wasn’t practical. The district would have to likely double its number of buses, drivers and routes to accomplish that.

Buses don’t come cheaply. The board also voted Monday night to purchase two 77-passenger buses at a combined cost of $171,000, after a competitive bidding process.

Before Roorda presented some of his work, elementary school principals Jolene Comer and Tom Bartello presented finalized in-district K-4 student transfer procedures that will go into effect next year. District policy 702.2 calls for the district to transport students who are having to go to a new school as the result of a change in policy, such as a reconfiguration.

However, parents won’t be able to “apply” to transfer to a particular school, or for this year’s Thomas Jefferson third-graders to remain on campus as the school takes on fourth-graders next year. With the intent being to balance enrollments near 275, Bartello said, it simply isn’t practical to allow parents to select a school.

Comer said peer groups shouldn’t be an issue, as students should have at least some of their neighborhood peers at their new school.

“If the whole group moves together, it’s not an issue,” Comer said.

District policy and procedure calls for district-initiated change required to balance out numbers.

The next board meeting is set for April 25.

During the course of eight weeks, the teams reviewed each application, interviewed program directors and conducted site visits to observe the day to day operations of the nonprofit agencies.

“The teams looked closely at the quality of services delivered, the number of people served and the program’s outreach to all Jasper County citizens,” Lowe said. “The allocation team volunteers also closely scrutinized each agency’s financial records, looking for cost-efficient operations and leverage of a variety of funding sources eventually choosing to fund 23 local programs.”

Tierra McNeeley nominated for The Congress of Future Medical Leaders Newton Daily News Tierra McNeeley, a junior at Newton Senior High School, is a delegate to the Congress of Future Medical Leaders in Lowell, Mass., June 25-27.

The Congress is an honors-only program for high school students who want to become physicians or go into medical research fields. The purpose of this event is to honor, inspire, motivate and direct the top students in the country who aspire to be physicians or

medical scientists, to stay true to their dream and, after the event, to provide a path, plan and resources to help them reach their goal.

McNeeley was nominated by Dr. Robert Darling, the Medical Director of the National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists, to represent Iowa based on her academic achievement, leadership potential and determination to serve humanity in the field of medicine.

During the three-day Con-

gress, McNeeley will join students from across the country and hear Nobel Laureates and National Medal of Science winners talk about leading medical research; be given advice from Ivy League and top medical school deans on what to expect in medical school; witness stories told by patients who are living medical miracles; be inspired by fellow teen medical science prodigies; and learn about cutting-edge advances and the future in medicine and medical technology.

“This is a crucial time in America when we need more doctors and medical scientists who are even better prepared for a future that is changing exponentially,” Richard Rossi, executive director of National Academy of Future Physicians and Medical Scientists said.

“Focused, bright and determined students like Tierra McNeeley are our future and she deserves all the mentoring and guidance we can give her.”

The Academy offers free services and programs to stu-

dents who want to be physicians or go into medical science. Some of the services and programs the academy offers are online social networks through which future doctors and medical scientists can communicate; opportunities for students to be guided and mentored by physicians and medical students; and communications for parents and students on college acceptance and finances, skills acquisition, internships, career guidance and much more.

Alcohol is a drug — period

I

Babbling Brooks Jason W. Brooks

t’s a beautiful, warm weekend evening, and booze is flowing.

Good times are about to roll for adults all across Iowa.​ I’m hoping many of the adults on those fun evenings plan well and make arrangements to get home safely.

I know alcohol is a huge part of both the economy and many a fun time, and we have made huge strides as a society over the last 30 years in education and law enforcement to cut down on serious accidents. However, there are a few more safety adjustments needed in the years ahead.

Half measures won’t change the concerns police and family members have about late-night travel, and how many alcohol-related mishaps tend to happen at night.

There is no such thing as making too big a deal out of alcohol responsibility and safety.

While many of us are quick to judge those who get involved with dangerous, illegal narcotics, we sometimes forget about the liquid that reminds us all the time it is also a lethal drug.

None of us can moralize on vehicle safety in terms of being mistake-free.

I’m sure I have some bad habits that need work. I’ve learned many bad driving situations — from rolling stops to driving buzzed or falling asleep at the wheel — have to do with lack of preparation. If you think you might be drinking and then have to get somewhere else, plan ahead.

Law enforcement does its part by trying to be consistent. It’s one thing for a buzzed driver to make it home

safely without being pulled over, even 10 million Iowa State Patrol troopers would still miss a few people. But among drivers who are stopped, especially at night, it would help greatly to have even more consistency from agency to agency.

Most of us have heard at least one or two stories about family or friends who have been charged in different ways than someone who seemed to have many of the same circumstances. Even taking the uniqueness of each case into account, it would aid greatly to have more evenly interpreted laws on arrests, charges and procedures — both in terms of police-driver interaction and in terms of police being seen as referees who are an obstacle to be outsmarted.

There are also likely some inconsistencies within each department that should be addressed. I know agencies do their best to minimize this and get everyone on the same page, and I salute any efforts to have a police enforcing laws in the same ways.

Hopefully, police know they can take suggestions and needs for policy improvement as coming from the same citizens who honor them in ceremonies and who call upon them for help in tough times.

Ultimately, however, policy consistency is not as important as adults being responsible for planning well.

Driving drunk or stoned is not really like cheating akin to an illegal hold.

It’s more like swinging at other drivers with a 3,000-pound (or more) baseball bat.

As the literature of the highly successful 12-step program, Narcotics Anonymous, reminds us, alcohol is the legal drug that requires the most delicate care.

“Thinking of alcohol as different from other drugs has caused a great many addicts to relapse,” NA’s pamphlet “How it Works” reads. “We cannot afford to be confused about this.

Alcohol is a drug.”

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

Trump whines until he loses Last Tuesday night, Senator Ted Cruz won a sweeping victory over 2016 Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump in Wisconsin. Cruz won virtually every demographic, nearly 50 percent of the vote and the vast bulk of the delegates.

It’s becoming increasingly clear that Trump could fail to reach the necessary 1,237 delegates in order to win the nomination outright on the first ballot at the convention. If so, there’s no way he wins the nomination at all.

That’s because Trump has made himself radioactive.

If Trump had disappeared from the American political scene after his big win in Arizona, he’d have wrapped up the nomination by now. Instead, he defended his lying campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski, after Lewandowski was charged with battery for allegedly grabbing, yanking and bruising a reporter; tweeted nastily about Heidi Cruz’s looks; repeatedly suggested that Cruz had violated federal law without evidence; trotted out surrogates to slander anti-Trump women as Cruz’s adulteresses; flipped his abortion position four times in less than three days; found himself on the short end of the interview stick with a Wisconsin radio host; labeled health care, housing and education as key functions of the federal government; accused the Republican National Committee and state delegations of attempting to “steal” the nomination from him by engaging in traditional delegate politics; and stated that he would likely select Supreme Court justices who would investigate Hillary Clinton’s email server, for starters.

The more Trump talks, the worse he sounds.

Now, Trump’s supporters keep saying he’s just learning the ropes. After all, he’s never run for political office before, so a few hiccups are to be expected.

But Trump continues to demonstrate a complete inability to learn. After losing Wisconsin, did Trump turn down his “Spinal Tap” speakers from volume 11 to 8? Of course not. He turned the volume up to 12 with a campaign statement that bragged that Trump’s 13-point blowout at Cruz’s hands was actually a big win in which he “withstood the onslaught of the establishment yet again.” The statement also stated openly, and without evidence, that Cruz had illegally coordinated with his super PACs, and slammed Cruz as being “worse than a puppet — he is a Trojan horse, being used by the party bosses attempting to steal the nomination from Mr. Trump.”

Trump’s campaign is flailing because it’s not a campaign; it’s a self-produced vanity reality TV special. Trump didn’t bother to learn the delegate rules because he couldn’t be bothered to do so. He doesn’t bother to learn the ins and outs of his own policies because, hey, why bother when people flock to you for shouting slogans about building walls?

Last month, he fired his data team manager and elevated the second in command. But the second in command apparently doesn’t know politics, or even how to access the data itself.

But don’t worry: Trump has a very good brain and hires all the best people.

By the time of the Republican National Convention, Trump will be 70-years-old. Sadly, he has significantly less self-control than my 2-year-old daughter. He’s spent his entire life being handed things: money, fame, female companionship. Now he can’t understand why he’s not being handed the nomination. So, like Veruca Salt in “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” he’ll scream.

It won’t work. Trump joked months ago that his strategy was to “keep whining and whining until I win.” But now he’s beginning to lose. And the whining won’t stop anytime soon.

Homework needed before buying a dog High five to Mike Mendenhall who shared they are ready to add a dog to their family. I commend this family for the homework they have done in recognizing one needs to plan and prepare for the successful addition of a new family member. They are taking into consideration the size and location of their home, their work schedules, puppy vs. an older dog, activity level and training needs, children or not in the home ... all items are excellent and necessary.

consider adopting a dog from a local shelter or rescue. This is one of the surest ways to ensure you are not dealing with a puppy mill. Animal shelters and rescues have many dogs, including purebred, just waiting for homes. There are breed specific rescue groups for every breed of dog including “designer” or “hybrid” dogs such as Labradoodles and Puggles.

Keep in mind mixed breed dogs and adult dogs make wonderful pets. They are much less likely to develop genetic disorders, can be less expensive to acquire and by adopting a rescue or shelter dog, you are saving the life of two dogs. You not only save the life of the dog you are adopting, but you are making available the shelter for another dog to be adopted and not be at risk of euthanasia.

If you still want to buy a puppy from a breeder, contin-

ue to do your homework. Find a responsible breeder and visit their premises. Never buy a puppy without seeing where it was raised and where its parents are housed. Always see the mother. Don’t be swayed by a great website or ad for the puppy. If the seller has nothing to hide, they won’t hide anything. A responsible breeder will want you to see everything and will want to ensure you are the best fit for this puppy.

Iowa ranks second nationwide with more than 200 USDA licensed dog breeders. These facilities house approximately 15,000 adult dogs. The number of facilities with violations continues to increase annually. The bottom line is: do your homework so you are not unwittingly supporting the puppy mill industry.

Breakdown in communication has serious, lasting consequences DEAR ABBY: I am a junior in high school. Last year, a guy I have known for two years began showing a sexual interest in me. I rejected his advances. Last week, he began expressing his interest again, letting me know he wanted to have sex. He invited me to study — only study — but said we “might” make out.

I was a virgin and had never even kissed anyone before. I had just gotten out of a relationship that didn’t end very well, so I liked the attention. I decided I was fine with just kissing, but as soon as I got in his truck, he started to feel me up. He took me to a semi-isolated area and we ended up having sex. It wasn’t fun or pleasurable. I told him he was hurting me, but he didn’t stop until the third time I said it. He was very upset with me. He only cared about me pleasuring him.

I told two of my close friends about what happened. One said he had essentially raped me. The other said it doesn’t count as rape because even though I said it hurt, I didn’t say it forcefully enough.

Abby, what do you think? — UNCERTAIN IN ILLINOIS DEAR UNCERTAIN: It appears you and that boy had a severe breakdown in communication, which led to your being sexually assaulted. He had made no secret that he wanted sex with you, and may have interpreted your willingness to kiss him after he took you somewhere other than what was agreed upon as a signal that you were willing, even though you didn’t say so.

Date rape happens when a fellow ends up coercing or forcing a girl to have sex without her consent. Unless a girl explicitly ex-

presses her willingness to proceed, it is the responsibility of the boy NOT to proceed.

To me what happened illustrates how important it is for parents to talk to their sons and daughters about responsible behavior because failure to do that can have lifelong consequences for both. If you haven’t already done so, you should tell your parents what happened. However, if you don’t feel safe doing that, tell a counselor at school.

DEAR ABBY: Can you give me a complete list of etiquette rules for parents with divorced children? My daughter and her ex-husband are constantly battling over issues regarding their two children. Her ex is engaged, and his soon-to-be wife gives her opinion on everything to do with parenting the kids. This is causing a continuous battle, and it isn’t good for the children. — GRANDMA IN MINNESOTA DEAR GRANDMA: I will offer just one “rule.” Divorced parents should remember that above all, what’s most important is what’s best for the children and maintain consistency wherever possible between the households.

Woman gets 33 months in prison for embezzlement CEDAR RAPIDS — A woman who admitted embezzling from her Cedar Rapids employer has been given 33 months in federal prison.

Prosecutors say 60-year-old Teresa Meeks was sentenced Tuesday. She was ordered to pay nearly $380,000 in restitution. She’d pleaded guilty in December to wire fraud. In her plea agreement, Meeks admitted that she altered company records at Primus Construction Inc. while working as an accountant.

Man who lost school board race found guilty of sex abuse CHARLES CITY — A convicted sex offender who was defeated in a Charles City school board election has been found guilty of sexually abusing a teenage boy.

A jury Tuesday found 60-year-old Doug Lindaman, of Charles City, guilty of third-degree sexual abuse. He was accused of performing a sex act in 2011 on a 17-year-old boy without the boy’s consent.

DES MOINES — A construction company that employed a man who died in an Altoona trench collapse has been fined for safety violations. Federal safety regulators have proposed $4,500 in fines against JRS Excavating, which is based in St. Charles. Its employee Justin Jorgensen died Jan. 6 after the trench collapse, despite frantic rescue efforts at the residential construction site in Altoona. A safety investigation disclosed that a trench wall collapsed because workers didn’t put any protective systems in place.

SHELLSBURG — A May trial has been scheduled for an eastern Iowa man accused of killing a woman whose body was found near a stolen truck in Benton County.

Online court records say 32-year-old David Miller last week pleaded not guilty to charges of murder and theft.

Authorities say Miller stabbed and strangled 25-year-old Sabrina Hustad.

Police found her body Oct. 25 when they arrived at Miller’s residence in Shellsburg.

Iowa lawmakers say there is no money for reading program DES MOINES (AP) — There’s no money to pay for a new state-mandated summer reading program for struggling third-graders in Iowa so the requirement should be delayed by a year, lawmakers in a legislative budget group said Tuesday.

The reading program should be pushed back from its scheduled 2017 launch to 2018 because the roughly $14 million needed to properly support its implementation is not available, according to lawmakers on the Education Appropriations Subcommittee.

They agreed to add language to a budget bill to formally delay it.

Sen. Brian Schoenjahn, D-Arlington and co-chairman of the sub-

committee, said there’s bipartisan support from both chambers to hold off on the program, which he described as an “unfunded mandate.”

“This is real money, and if it’s not going to be funded then it’s not going to occur,” he said. “It’s not fair to the teachers. It’s not fair to the kids. It’s not fair to the taxpayers.”

The program, part of legislation passed in 2012, was intended to make Iowa students proficient readers by the end of the third grade. Nearly one in four Iowa third-graders is not proficient in reading, according to data from the Iowa Department of Education.

The law would have required every Iowa school district by 2017 to pro-

vide a summer literacy program for third-graders who exhibit a substantial deficiency in reading.

Some third-graders could be held back a year if they failed to complete the program.

Gov. Terry Branstad

did not include money for the program in his budget recommendations released in January, which includes about $9 million for the actual program and about $5.5 million for training and planning.

He indicated at the time

that he would make a special request to lawmakers next year to approve immediate funds in time for the program to still be in effect that summer.

Branstad’s move had surprised education advocacy groups that argued cash-strapped school districts could be on the hook to pay for the program. At least one group applauded the announcement of a delay Tuesday.

“We need as much time and as many resources as possible to make sure the program can be successful,” said Melissa Peterson, a government relations representative for the Iowa State Education Association.

Ben Hammes, a spokesman for Branstad,

said the governor will reserve judgment until he sees the legislation in its final form. He said Branstad still believes lawmakers could fund the program next session for summer 2017 “and still meet the needs of school districts.”

The proposal comes as the Iowa Legislature struggles with a state budget that many lawmakers said has limited new money. The roughly $7.34 billion in proposed spending for the next fiscal year that begins in July has more than $170 million in new revenue dollars, but the bulk is going to basic aid for K-12 schools. About $20 million in new money is available for the rest of state government.

Amendment made to county budget Task force arrests two in Grinnell Newton Daily News An amendment to the fiscal year 2015-2016 budget was approved on Tuesday by the Jasper County Board of Supervisors.

“The budget gets amended, for instance, because maybe we are moving money from one area to another. Also, one of the areas is short so we are taking from the general fund and putting it in the short area,” auditor Dennis Parrott said.

Revenue areas that saw adjustments in the amendment were uncollected delinquent taxes, delinquent property tax revenue, licenses and permits and charges for service. Mental health, debt service and capital projects had

adjustments in the county’s expenditures.

Parrott said adjustments happen for many reasons including when the county receives grant money. When that occurs, the money must enter into the budget and then the budget must reflect that it is being spent.

Budget amendments do not effect taxes throughout the county and only serve to reallocate money already in the budget.

“We’re not changing what we are asking the public, taxes remain the same,” Parrott said.

Amendments are requested to the board as needed depending on needs from county entities and projects that are ready to be funded.

Newton Daily News A Grinnell woman and a Cedar Rapids man face charges after a drug task force arrested both last week in Grinnell.

According to a news release from the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office, whose agency is among 21 organizations that contribute to the Mid-Iowa Narcotics Enforcement Task Force, officers and deputies executed a warrant Thursday at 1113 Spring Street in Grinnell.

Joy L. Harland, 37,

of that residence was charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver, failure to affix drug tax stamp and possession of drug paraphernalia. She was taken to Poweshiek County Jail, where she is being held on a $30,000 bond.

Jeremy J. Wyatt, 38, of Cedar Rapids, was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.

He was taken to Grinnell Regional Medical Center as a precaution with mild drug-related injuries. Wy-

att will make his initial appearance at a later date.

Three children of unspecified ages were living in the home. The children were removed from the home and are now under the supervision and protection of the Iowa Department of Human Services.

Illegal drugs and drug paraphernalia were also seized at the residence.

The Grinnell Police Department and a Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office K-9 assisted with the effort.

National tour of ‘Annie’ makes stop at Des Moines Civic Center Friday-Sunday

By Jessica Lowe Special to Daily News The scruffy but loveable dog, the curly-haired optimistic orphan and the cantankerous millionaire will all be on stage in the latest installment of the Willis Broadway Series production at the Des Moines Civic Center on Friday.

The beloved musical “Annie,” based on the radio show from the 1930s, will be entertaining Iowans from April 1517. The musical stars Heidi Gray who dons the red curly hair for her first role in a national touring production.

“Everybody loves it,” said Gray of the iconic musical she is now starring in. “It’s the story of a little optimistic girl.”

Gray, who just turned 12 in March, was selected out of hundreds of girls during an open casting call in New York City. She said learning she got the part of Annie was amazing. “(When I found out I got the part) it was really exciting,” Gray said. “We were in

a taxi. I was screaming. My mom was crying. Grandma was laughing. It was exciting.

I was so happy.”

Even though she is young-

er than most performing the lead role in a touring show, Gray’s love of acting goes back many years. Gray first became interested in acting

while watching a documentary about “Disney’s Little Mermaid” on Broadway when she was just 4 years old.

“I said ‘Mommy, I want to be on Broadway.’ I just liked musical theater,” she said.

“Then when we watched the original move of ‘Annie’ when I was little I knew I wanted to be Annie one day.”

Thanks to her hard work and eternal optimism just like the little girl she plays, Gray’s dream came true. And now for the past several months she has been traveling the country and singing some of the most popular tunes in musical theater — “It’s The Hard Knock Life” and “Tomorrow.”

While she loves those songs, the pint-sized actress said her favorite number is “Hooverville.” She also said singing and sharing the spotlight with fellow child actors makes the tour exciting and very fun.

“It’s fun to hang with the other kids,” she said. “We eat almost every meal togeth-

er. We play together. We just have fun.”

And yes, having two dogs as co-stars on the tour is fun as well.

“Macy and Sunny are both rescue dogs that are professionally trained,” Gray said.

“They are amazing. It is fun to work with them.”

“Annie” opens at 7:30 p.m.

Friday, with additional shows at 2 and 7:30 p.m. Saturday, and 1 and 6:30 p.m. Sunday.

Tickets are available starting at $30 each at DesMoinesPerforming Arts.org, the Civic Center Ticket office or by calling 800-745-3000.

The sweet girl who hopes to someday play the role of Elphaba in “Wicked” on Broadway said she hopes a lot of families come to see the show in Des Moines because it is a show everyone can relate to.

“Come see the show because the little girl is an orphan and the rich man has everything and it is about them falling in love as a family,” Gray said. “It’s a story about love and family.”

Cardinal girls’ golf wins

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News The weather was better and so were the Newton High Cardinal girls’ golfers in their second meet in two days. Newton won its home opener Tuesday at Westwood Golf Course.

Newton played in blustery conditions Monday at Urbandale to begin the 2016 season. At home Tuesday, the defending Little Hawkeye Conference champions captured a conference triangular on a sunny, cool and less windy afternoon.

The Cardinals posted a 202 four-player score in the nine-hole meet. Grinnell was second at 239 and Oskaloosa finished third with a 252.

“We took a step in the right direction,” Newton head coach Scott Enyart said. “The wind wasn’t as strong as it was when we played Monday, but the girls had to contend with some wind out there. It was good to see our team score go down — 209 to 202.”

Grinnell’s Alisha Ford was the meet medalist with a 46. Newton’s Jessica Reynolds was the runner-up medalist with a 47. A stroke back from Reynolds was her teammate Jessie Smith with a 48.

“I was glad to see two guys shoot in the 30s I really feel we are just starting to get going,” Riley said. “We have the potential to have four or five scores in the 30s every time. We just have to keep fine tuning our game and keep competing.”

CMB girls claim title at home meet

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter sophomore Sailor Hinegardner claimed two of the Raiders’ three wins Tuesday at CMB’s home coed meet in Baxter. She won the 100-meter hurdles and the long jump.

BAXTER — A dominant performance in the field events gave the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter girls’ track and field team an early lead in its home meet Tuesday night.

The Raiders weren’t about to let that lead slip away in front of their home fans as 14 top-three finishes pushed CMB to the top of the team standings.

CMB claimed the team title with 137 points, holding off a late charge by North Polk. The Comets finished in second with 123 points, while West

Marshall (114) and Madrid (109) also surpassed the century mark. South Hardin was fifth with 60 points, while a short-handed Colfax-Mingo squad rounded out the sixteam field with 46 points.

“This was a great team win tonight,” CMB coach Jerry Meinerts said. “We didn’t win too many events, but our girls competed really well and earned a lot of seconds, thirds and fourths.”

Sophomore Sailor Hinegardner claimed two of the Raiders’ three victories on the night as she won the long jump and the 100-meter hurdles. Hinegardner also was

part of CMB’s runner-up shuttle hurdle relay team and the runner-up 4x100 relay.

“Sailor is looking really good in the hurdles, and I look for her to continue dropping that time,” Meinerts said.

Senior Payge Jurgens claimed the Raiders’ other gold medal as she blew away the field in the shot put with a throw of 35 feet, 9 1/2 inches.

Colfax-Mingo was missing several runners because of a conflicting Prairie City-Monroe soccer match. Tuesday’s track meet was originally scheduled for Monday.

CMB, Colfax-Mingo can’t keep up with North Polk

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News ​BAXTER — The strengths of the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter and Colfax-Mingo boys track teams came through during the Raiders’ home coed meet on Tuesday night.

Unfortunately, not even those strengths were good enough to keep up with North Polk. The Comets won four individual events, four relays and went 1-2 in the 3,200-meter run during a team victory.

North Polk ran away from the rest of the field with 173.5 points. CMB won five events and did enough to claim second with 130.5 points. Saydel scored 90 points in third, while Colfax-Mingo (78) and West Marshall (75) rounded out the field.

CMB freshman Will Clapper won the shot put and discus. Senior Brady Stover had one win and three runner-up finishes as the Raiders continued to stand out in the field events and piled up enough points in the relays to stay in front of everyone except the Comets.

Colfax-Mingo senior Jacob Lietz highlighted the Tigerhawks’ night. He sprinted to the team’s only win in the 400-meter dash. His time of 51.38 seconds won the race and put him second overall in Class 1A. Clapper and Brady Kemp gave the Raiders double points in the shot put and discus.

Clapper won the shot put with a throw of 46 feet, 5 inches, while Kemp was the runner-up with a toss of 45-6.

Clapper’s winning mark in the discus covered 136-7 1/2, and Kemp was third with a throw of 128-3 1/2.

The other two wins for CMB came in the shuttle hurdle relay and the 4x200 relay.

The hurdle foursome included Ben Gunderson, Lane Howes, Joe Keeling and Brad Ritter and they hit the line in 1:04.88. The 4x200 relay featured Zach Schafer, Tuck-

er Maxwell, Blake Coughenour and Hunter Gunderson, and they rallied for a win in 1:38.28.

Stover’s win in the 400 hurdles was clocked at 57.31 seconds. He also was the runner-up in the 100, 110 high hurdles and long jump.

Stover finished his 100 in 10.87 seconds, leaped 19-2 3/4 in the long jump and recorded a time of 16.37 seconds in his first-ever run in the 110 high hurdles.

Hunter Gunderson gave the Raiders more points in the field events when he scored a second-place finish in the high jump with a leap of 6-0.

Jason Hilgren gave the Raiders a 1-2-3 finish in the shot put, but his third-place points did not count in the team score because only two members of the team are allowed to score points in each event.

CMB was third in the 4x100 and 4x400 relays, too.

The 4x100 included Schafer, Hunter Gunderson, John Newton and Ritter, and they hit the line in 47.58, while the 4x400 team of Marcus Mitchell, Xander Huff, Maxwell and Hunter Gunderson also placed third in 3:52.96.

The Tigerhawks collected four runner-up finishes. Nicholas and Michael Deal gave C-M double points in the discus.

Nicholas was second with a personal-best throw of 1306 1/2, while Michael’s fourthplace finish hit 127-4.

Alex Lewis was the runner-up in the 1,600 as he hit the line in a personal-best 5:09.05.

Colin Lourens finished third in the long jump. His best leap was marked at 18-11 1/4.

Colfax-Mingo stacked the 4x100, 4x400 and distance medley relays and earned points in all three.

The 4x100 team of Blake Summy, Zarek Hill, Gabe Simpson and Lietz were second in 47.36, while the distance medley team of Summy, Lourens, Lietz and Simpson finished second in 3:57.55.

The 4x800 relay team placed third. That foursome included Adam Teed, Hill, Holister Koenig and Simpson, and they hit the line in 9:17.19.

great way to start the meet,” Meinerts said. “We doubled up in seven events, and we scored points in every event. It was a pretty good night.”

The second-place 4x100 relay team included Hinegardner, Spencer, Hurley and Brianda Bane, and they crossed the line in 52.41.

Sophomore Ries Wilson gave the Tigerhawks another top-three finish in a field event

when she took third in the high jump. Her best leap was 4-8.

“I was very impressed with our overall efforts tonight,” Tomas said. “We only competed six upperclassmen, and it was great to see our younger kids step up. While the results may not reflect it, we took a big step forward.”

The Raiders compete at 4:30 p.m. Thursday at East Marshall while Colfax-Mingo heads to Ogden.

NASCAR clouding its image with politics CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — There are Democrats who enjoy NASCAR. Jews and atheists and women, too.

You wouldn’t know it lately, not after several events this season, including the invocation before Saturday night’s race at Texas Motor Speedway. Duck Commander founder Phil Robertson used the address to pray “that we put a Jesus man in the White House” and noted that “alright Texas, we got here via Bibles and guns.”

Robertson, a star of “Duck Dynasty,” has publicly voiced his support for Ted Cruz in the presidential race.

His son, Willie, has endorsed GOP front-runner

Donald Trump, and the family has always been vocal with its conservative beliefs. It shouldn’t have been a surprise when Robertson used his time on stage to push an agenda.

Yet in many ways it was because NASCAR has tried for the last several years to present itself as a sport that embraces diversity, that no longer tolerates many of the racial stereotypes so often associated with the sport.

Last year, NASCAR chairman Brian France took a strong stance against the presence of Confederate flags at race tracks and said he would do everything in his legal power to prevent them from being displayed.

It was a progressive move and unusual.

Sports are supposed to be entertainment, after all, and most fans don’t tune in expecting or wanting to see soapbox speeches. It’s why the stick-and-ball leagues try to stay neutral.

When they do embrace America, it’s done in safe ways such as the singing of “God Bless America” or recognizing military personnel.

The logos for Major League Baseball, the NBA and the NFL are all red, white and blue, and league leaders tend to avoid politics and polarizing positions in an effort not to offend fans who don’t share their views.

“Because of weather cancellations last week, the girls hadn’t competed in two weeks. We showed some rust, especially early in the meet, having had that much time between competitions,” Lynnville-Sully girls’ head coach Darin Arkema said. “The sprint medley group and the 4x400 team really put together strong efforts to run season best times for those events.”

CMB girls starts season with third-place tally

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News JEWELL — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter girls golf coach Zach Hasselbrink will use the Raiders’ first meet of the year to build on the rest of the season.

And he’s happy the first meet is in the rear view mirror, too.

Courtney Clapper shot a 57 and Abbie Ericson carded a 59, but the Raiders were unable to find the win column. CMB finished third in a triangular at Jewell Country Club after shooting a 254.

“It was great to get the first meet nerves out of the way,” CMB coach Zach Hasselbrink said.

“I saw some really good things from each of the girls.”

West Marshall won the meet with a 213, while host South Hamilton was second with a 224.

West Marshall’s Madi Stalzer (45) and Brooke Snider (51) finished first and second overall.

Katie Garber turned in a 65 for the Raiders, while Payton Cory had a 73. CMB was short-handed though as Brynne Pritchard did not play because of an illness.

The Raiders play at 2 p.m. Monday at Bondurant-Farrar’s Terrace Hills Golf Course.

the January Financials as presented.

Bret Doerring seconded the motion.

Motion Approved Manager L.D. Palmer reviewed the Non Union Salary Ranges with the Board and recommended a 2% adjustment for FY2016-2017. He pointed out that these were not actual salary recommendations but a review of the current Market Mid-Point and range for each salaried position.

Board member Bret Doerring moved to approve the recommended 2% adjustment to the current salary ranges.

Lee Zmolek Seconded the motion.

Motion Approved Marty Hoffert presented the Water Treatment and Distribution report. The static well water level He for February is 19.6'. pointed out that the unaccounted for water in January was 16%.

While the goal is 10% or less there was no major leaks found and the pumping from the plant to uptown did not indicate any major loss through the transmission mains. While there were several main breaks in January there was no significant water loss in the distribution system.

Palmer presented a chart that shows annual average unaccounted for water from 2007 to 2015. The chart did reflect an increase in water loss in 2014 and 2015.

Water loss will continue to be monitored.

The Board discussed the Flint, MI water quality situation and wanted staff to inform our customers about lead testing in Newton and the good results obtained.

The manager presented an economic development update to the Board.

The next meeting will be held on Friday, March 18th 2016 in the City Council Chambers.

The meeting was adjourned.

Newton boys dominate soccer match with Knoxville

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Right in the thick of Knoxville defenders in front of the goal, Newton High’s Griffin Engel found a crease to kick the ball right past everyone including the Panther goalkeeper. It was the second goal of the game for the Cardinals Tuesday.

Engel found himself on the backside of the action a minute later, beating a defender and the Knoxville keeper again.

“We scored three goals in the first 15 minutes and set the game tempo for the rest of the match. It was a great night for goal scorers and as well as teammates who helps to setup the plays,” Newton head coach Sackda Viravong said.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Threading the needle with a kick right down the middle for a goal is Newton’s Griffin Engel, far right, in Newton’s 5-0 win at home Tuesday against Knoxville.

The Cardinals opened the scoring with a goal by Nick Rusk coming off a pass from Josh Ventling at the 33:21

mark of the first half. Engel’s first goal came at the 28:30 mark, and he followed with another shot into the net with

27:19 on the clock.

Newton extended its 3-0 halftime lead with a goal by Duncan Lee with 23:27 left in

the second half. Tyler Stanton scored his first varsity goal with 8:10 remaining in the game to push the lead to 5-0.

Chet Adams had the assist on the Stanton goal.

The Cardinals put 14 shots on goal and had seven corner kicks.

Grayson Bookbinder started in goal for Newton and made two saves in the first half. He was replaced by Reagan Maple in the second half because of a hand injury. Maple had three saves. It was the first shutout of the season for the goalkeepers.

Newton (4-2) plays a varsity game at 5:30 p.m. Friday at Boone.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton goalie Ashlee Freeze makes a save in a game last year. She and the Cardinals did not give up a goal Tuesday in a 3-0 win over host Des Moines Christian.

Cardinals deliver a shutout

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News URBANDALE — Three goals in the first half was enough to record their second win in as many games of the young 2016 season. The Class 2A 11th-ranked Newton High Cardinal girls defeated host Des Moines Christian, 3-0, Tuesday.

Ashlee Freeze and the Cardinal defense kept the Lions from scoring. Freeze was in goal for Newton the first 50 minutes of play until a hard hit to her ribs put her on the sideline.

Reynolds came in at 61 and Taylor Dydell improved to 63.

“Jessie was swinging with better tempo to-

ground to the Lions.

“The girls played well both offensively and defensively,” Newton head coach Abby Lamont said. “Our connection on our passing game was much better than last Thursday. Our transitional offense is becoming more cohesive.”

Ryanne Rausch used assists from Taylor Shipley and Victoria Jordan to score twice for the Cardinals. Rausch came through with an assist for Taylor Moon’s score. Newton led 3-0 at halftime.

The Cardinals kept the pressure on the Lions’ defense the whole game. Newton had 27 shots on goal and had

eight corner kicks.

“Our defense is blending and starting to really work together well,” Lamont said.

Freeze had the lone goal save for the Cardinals.

Enyart said Fitzgerald was hitting the ball with consistency Tuesday, but had a few too many putts on the day.

the tone of her round.

GRINNELL — Collecting a team victory to open Little Hawkeye Conference action, Newton High’s girls had a good day on the tennis courts against host Grinnell. The Cardinals defeated the Tigers, 7-4.

“This was a great win tonight for the girls.

There were lots of close matches, and we were very happy to come away with a big win,” Newton head coach Erick Zehr said. “Grinnell is always tough. They are a well-coached, deep team with a rich history, so any time you can get a win against them you appreciate it.”

Newton posted wins in four of the six singles’ matches. Katie Wyre won the No. 2 singles match 6-2, 6-2 over Grinnell’s Alissa Stallman. Sierra Griffth won the No. 3 singles, rallying to force a third-set tiebreaker over Grinnell’s Taylor Kirby, 3-6, 6-2 (1).

The Cardinals’ Katherine Thorpe netted a 6-1, 6-4 decision over Holly Deserrano at No. 4 singles. Madison Humphrey defeated Grinnell’s Morgan Brennecke, 6-3, 6-3, at No. 6 singles.

Grinnell’s Maddie Krumm edged out Newton’s Megan Pressgrove, 7-5, 6-4, in the No. 1 singles match. The Tigers’ Macy Harris won the No. 5 singles match 6-0 6-0 over Newton’s

Elizabeth Myers.

“A big key for us was having a couple girls come back after dropping the first set to win the second and force a tiebreaker,” Zehr said.

“The No. 5 doubles ended up clinching the meet for us, which was huge since they were down early, and it looked like the meet might end 6-5 either way.”

Kinzie Loree and Leah Thomas were the No. 5 doubles pair for Newton. They defeated Reanna Campbell and Brennecke, 4-6, 6-4, (1).

Pressgrove and Wyre notched a 6-0, 6-4 win at No. 1 doubles over Krumm and Cici Douglas. Newton won the No. 2 doubles match 6-2, 6-2 with Griffith and Thrope beating Grinnell’s Kirby and Deserrano.

won the third-set tiebreaker over Newton’s Myers and Humphrey, 6-4, 4-6 (1).
