Judge denies request to reconsider sentencing Edwards convicted in death of Newton 14-year-old

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News

Jasper County paid 32 of its 425 employees at least $60,000 in 2014, or 7.5 percent.

Newton Schools paid 62 people wages of more than $70,000 in 2013-14, or 8.7 percent of its work force.

A Newton man convicted of vehicular homicide in the death of a local teenager was denied a request to reconsider his sentence Monday, but the matter could be back in court within six months.

Daniel L. Edwards, 43, is serving a 10-year sentence after pleading guilty last fall in the incident that killed 14-year-old Brendan O’Brien.

District Court Judge Martha Mertz denied the request, however, the court will allow Edwards to renew his request for resentencing if he successfully completes a subEdwards stance abuse treatment program within the next six months.

In January, Edwards’ attorney Gerald Feuerhelm, filed a motion to reconsider sentence due to “his age, education, criminal history and the fact that the defendant has received the rehabilitative effect of being incarcerated.”

Rita Delanty, Brendan O’Brien’s grandmother, addressed the court Monday pleading for Edwards’ original sentence be left intact.

“No words can adequately express the emptiness and grief our family endures daily at the loss of Brendan,” Delanty said. “Most people believe that everyone deserves a second chance, but Edwards has had too many second chances to count.

His history demonstrates an inability to follow the rules.”

Bob O’Brien, Brendan’s father, did not address the court. He said Tuesday it is important to the family that Edwards be rehabilitated and that no other family suffers the way they have.

“Nothing is going to bring Brendan back ... it’s up to God to forgive and to judge,” Bob O’Brien said. “We just don’t want this to ever happen to anybody else.”

Edwards was initially charged in July 2013 following an investigation into the April 21, 2013 incident in which police determined Edwards was speeding and under the influence of synthetic drugs when he struck Brendan O’Brien with a Chevy Blazer.

O’Brien was hit at approximately 9 p.m. on a Sunday night as he was walking northbound in

Some local base salaries dwarf subordinates, others not far behind

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News April 15 has been the Internal Revenue Service’s standard tax-return deadline since 1955. Many Americans finished their taxes weeks or months ago, but we all have in our minds how much money we made in 2014.

Here’s where part of our tax money is going, in terms of salaries of local government wages.

Governing bodies, such as the City of Newton, Jasper County and the Newton Community School District, are required by law to publish annual salaries in a local newspaper of record.

A review of those legal announcements reveals more than 125 combined employees of those three organizations made considerably more than the county’s average household income in a year’s time. The U.S. Census Bureau’s 2009-2013 average household income for Jasper County is

SCHOOLS National Education Association statistics Average Iowa starting teacher salary: $32,895 Average teacher salary: $50,634 CITY OF NEWTON Total 2013 gross wage salaries: 188 ($6,857,558.37).

Amount of salaries at $60,000 or higher: 43 (22.9 $50,513 and a per capita income of $24,905.

The City of Newton paid 43 of its 188 employees $60,000 or more in 2013, the most recent year for which city salary statistics were available. That amounts to 22.9 percent of the city’s work force.

Supervisors transfer Monroe properties

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Jasper County Board of Supervisors transferred three Monroe properties during its Tuesday meeting.

The properties were brought to the board by Jasper County Attorney Mike Jacobsen to be transferred to their proper owners. The first property, part of the former railroad in Monroe, will be transferred to the City of Monroe for recreational purposes — a bike trail.

“The county received the property in 2002

and conditioned the rail line would be used for public use consistent with the national trail system. The area can only be used for a bike trail or another trail.

The other portion that has been received is being used a bike trail,” Jacobsen said.

The county does not own the property and is not selling it, Jacobsen said, just transferring it to Monroe for its intended purpose.

Online bill pay an option for tithing

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Have you ever come to church and realized you left your offering at home? Have you ever gone on vacation with full intentions of catching up your giving for the time you were gone but never got around it? Have you ever wanted to be more consistent in your giving? Those questions were posed by the Rev. Mark Young of the First Christian Church, 314 E. Second St. N., as a way to encourage giving through a bank’s bill pay service.

“When you give online using a recurring payment you don’t have to worry about forgetting your checkbook or being out of town. For me, I don’t have to worry about baptizing my check, which has happened a time or two,” Young said. “As a pastor, I realize that giving for a younger generation than myself is different because a lot of people don’t write checks, carry very little cash on them and use their debit and credit cards.”

He said it is very simple to set up recurring payments through the bank website and if you have questions to contact your local bank as each one is a little different. Also, you will need an account for the money to go to and an address to send it to. A check is then mailed to the church with no charges or fees attached. It can be a daily, weekly or monthly giving, depending on what you choose. Young said since writing about the subject in the church’s newsletter, several people have switched to online bill pay and

Second St. N. Community members are invited to a educational and discussion opportunity.

Kasimow, a Holocaust survivor, is the George Drake Professor Emeritus of Religious Studies at Grinnell College. Born 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.

Roberts is professor of religious studies at Grinnell College where he teaches courses in religions of the Western world, modern religious thought, theory and method in the study of religion, and religion and politics.

This event is free and open to the public. Light refreshments will be served.

Websites already exist with the purpose of digital giving, but after First Christian Church looked into using an online giving company they found out the companies took a percentage of what the person gave.

“To me, this isn’t good stewardship as I want my whole tithe to

Learning corner launched at the library Newton Daily News Kids spending time at the Newton Public Library will have new resources available to help promote the connections between public media and early literacy and math skills, thanks to a new Library Corner placed at the library.

The library corner will include new PBS Kids DVDs and Martha Speaks Read Aloud books, and three brand new iPad stations with PBS Kids learning Apps for young readers. The iPad stations are available right now, and the books and DVDs will be available in a few weeks.

“We’re pleased to expand these Library Corners to another location in Iowa,” said Terry Rinehart, director of

Educational Services at Iowa Public Television. “With this Library Corner, families can spend time together reading books, engaging in hands-on activities, and playing online games that support early reading skills like recognizing letters and sounds, and early math skills such as counting and measurement.”

The IPTV Library Corners are part of Iowa Public Television’s Ready for School initiative which works with Iowa communities to strengthen the math and literacy skill of children ages 2-8. Phyllis Peter, Youth Services Librarian has been coordinating the Ready for School initiative in Newton working with local schools and agencies that work with children ages 2 to 8.

NPD Completes March Seatbelt Survey The Newton Police Department recently conducted a seatbelt usage survey that showed strong results by motorists in the community.

The Newton Police Department conducted

“I’m not opposed to bike trails, please don’t think that I am, but I am opposed to them within the city limits,” Sellers said. “Do you people realize how close that bike trail would be to our property and others? People don’t care, it isn’t their property so they don’t give a hoot.”

Overall, the survey found 91 percent of motorists and passengers properly wearing their seatbelts.

Monroe Mayor Brian Briles said that the land would be used for a bike trail but there is no timeline for the project at this time.

A similar situation occurred with the third piece of property that was transferred to the Paul D. and June E. Hjortshoj Revocable Trusts. The county worked to clear up property lines and put the property in the name of those who had been taking care of it for years.

Everyone remembers their first trips to the drive-in

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | April 15, 2015

I remember the muggy night as if were a week ago — even though it was in June of 1977.

My parents dragged me and my toddler sister to the Ranch DriveIn on Old Branch Avenue in Clinton, Md. They’d explained it was just like a regular movie theater, except we had the “privilege” of staying in the car. Since my only experience in being in a car involved waiting for what seemed like forever for my parents at a store, my young self had little enthusiasm for this highly-touted “drive-in” thing.

Little did I know I was in for the experience of a lifetime.

It wasn’t simply that we got to see the first “Star Wars movie” and the original “Smokey and the Bandit” as a double feature — I fell asleep fairly early on into Smokey.

It was a chance to do something uniquely American and fun, and that’s why I felt like I was getting back to my roots by making my first trip to Newton’s Valle Drive-In last weekend. We didn’t make it to the Ranch Drive-Inn

very often in the years after the Star Wars adventure, but it is always a memorable experience.

I distinctly remember seeing Saturday Night Fever and the first Superman movie at the Ranch before it closed for good in 1984 — as did many of America’s treasured theaters. I can still see John Travolta strutting on that giant screen — and Superman soaring over Metropolis. With a couple of exceptions, I went from the early 1980s until last weekend without enjoying the drive-in experience.

There was a 1990s trip to an ill-fated California theater. That four-screen beauty met the fate of many of its drive-in family a short time later, being plowed under to build one of those big blue “W” stores we all love to hate, but shop there just the same.

There was last year’s trip to the Starlight Drive-In, one of only two theaters remaining in Nebraska. But aside from those two occasions, I had gone without a drive-in movie for 30-plus years — yet those muggy summer

Maryland nights, under both the stars of the sky and the stars on the screen — remained powerful, positive memories from my youth.

That’s why when I first learned a few things about Newton, I was excited to hear the Valle was a regular part of summer life. The first time I drove by the well-maintained place, I could tell a lot of sweat and attention to detail had been put into preserving the decades of memories that reside there. My first trip to Iowa’s oldest operational drive-in exceeded my expectations Saturday.

Not only was there the smell of popcorn in the concession stand, children burning up energy on the grass as the sun descended, but the Valle is so clean and well-maintained, and the screen and sound were more perfect than in all my 1970s memories of Maryland. A fair crowd showed up, even with it being a bit on the cool and breezy side and with the same films playing from the previous weekend.

The only sad moment was an

expected one — I’ve followed the Fast & Furious franchise through all seven full-length films, so to see Paul Walker tributes and his final official on-screen moment after the actor’s death was heartwrenching.

While Fast & Furious is sort of guilty pleasure of mine, as I don’t really enjoy most modern “shoot ‘em up” movies, it pleased my heart to see racing across a giant screen. It was just like watching X-Wing fighters and the Millennium Falcon fly across the night sky 37 years ago — except in 2015, I appreciate those moments so much more.

Walker passed away in a fiery, real-life 2013 wreck on a California street I drove on many times when I lived in that area a few years ago. We run across the same circles in life again and again — and jewels like the Valle help keep those circles connected.

Why the left lies

Letter to the Editor

Lincoln assassination remembered Larry Hurto Newton April 14 marked the 150th anniversary of President Lincoln’s assassination. I have often wondered how the course of our nation’s history might have been altered had our 16th president been spared to complete his second term in office.

A. K. Campbell (1834-1926), whose brother Frank’s house is now being demolished along with

the Newton Seed Store, told how local people reacted to this tragic occurrence in a speech delivered at the dedication of the present Jasper County Courthouse April 6, 1911.

“When Lincoln was assassinated, the grief of the people, like that of the whole land, was beyond conception ... Our townsman, Mr. J. R. Mershon, proposed that on the day of Lincoln’s burial at Springfield the people of Jasper County should meet in Newton and reproduce in some form the burial ceremonies at

Springfield. So the people met, and a great procession was led by a hearse, by funeral dirges by the martial band, and the people followed as mourners by the thousand, rounding up on the north side of the court house, where appropriate ceremonies were had, speeches made, and resolutions adopted.”

I’ve assembled a collection of books from my personal library on this subject for display at the Newton Public Library. They can be seen there for the balance of this month.

A bacon-wrapped cholesterol bomb

By Jim Hightower Let me say one word to you: Bacon.

Not only is it delicious, it’s practically irresistible — I even know vegans who sneak bites of the stuff.

And these days, it’s hard to avoid the pork strip. It’s in snack foods, on school lunch trays, and in bars, breakfast joints, food trailers and fine dining establishments. Full-blown bacon festivals are the latest thing.

Whether you call it bacon, pancetta, pork belly or whatever, it’s everywhere — and it’s big. Sales now top $4 billion a year, and they’re still growing.

Unfortunately, bacon is also growing us, feeding the continuing expansion of America’s midriffs — and with it diabetes, heart disease and other health problems. Please don’t get me

started on the vile corporate hog factories, where most of the brand-name bacon comes from.

But a little discretion and moderation can be a bacon eater’s friend. You don’t have to buy the industrialized brands.

Nor do you have to eat a pound a day, or even a week.

Which brings me to the latest offering by the Little Caesars fast food chain: the “Bacon-Wrapped Crust Deep!

Deep! Dish Pizza.” Yes, the official name really includes those exclamation points.

One word of advice: Don’t.

It’s a cholesterol bomb, thick with fatty “cheese” gooeyness and wrapped on all sides with strips of bacon. Lots of bacon, actually — a whopping threeand-a-half feet per pizza.

But this porker of a pizza doesn’t stop at mere excess. Lit-

tle Caesars crowns the monster with pepperoni and crumbled bacon.

The price is $12, but that’s not the real cost. Each slice doses you with 450 calories, 23 grams of fat, 830 milligrams of salt, and 40 milligrams of cholesterol.

David Scrivano, the chain’s CEO is unapologetic. “This is a more indulgent offering for a demographic that craves premium quality,” he said.

Fastidious eaters can always get a veggie pizza, he added.

Excuse me, sir, but quantity isn’t quality. They should name this thing “The Emergency Room.”

“When yet another hand clamped over her mouth, Jackie bit it, and the hand became a fist that punched her in the face.

‘Grab its [expletive] leg,’ she heard a By Ben Shapiro voice say.

And that’s when Jackie knew she was going to be raped.”

Thus started a 9,000word article in Rolling Stone magazine about the supposed rash of campus rapes across America. The writer, Sabrina Erdely, began with the horrifying story of Jackie, a college girl who found herself raped by seven men at the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity house at the University of Virginia while two other men, including her date, “gave instruction and encouragement.”

The University of Virginia banned Phi Kappa Psi from campus.

People vandalized the frat house, hurling rocks through windows and covering the premises with graffiti. Commentators and politicians all over the nation bloviated gravely about the deep problem of sexual brutality on campus. Those who questioned Jackie’s story were accused of not taking rape seriously enough; to demand facts equated to shaming a rape victim.

There was only one problem with Erdely’s story: It was false. Jackie had lied. And Rolling Stone had no evidence to back up Jackie’s story in the first place. This week, Rolling Stone apologized for the story but did not fire Erdely or any of its editors; Erdely apologized not to the fraternity or its members but to virtually everyone else. She added, “In writing each of these stories I must weigh my compassion against my journalistic duty to find the truth.”

Herein lies the problem. Journalism does not require sympathy for hu-

man beings. It requires sympathy for readers, who deserve truth. But for the left, truth represents a secondary value. It is far more important to forward a particular political narrative than it is to simply state the facts. And that narrative can only be forwarded if there is controversy over the facts. If, for example, everyone agreed that Jackie had been gang raped, there would be no controversy over sending her rapists to prison or prosecuting all those who looked the other way.

But the leftist narrative requires an opposition, a group of evil haters who take rape less than seriously. That is how society can be blamed for the alleged rape of one woman by seven men.

So the left specifically chooses to feature situations in which facts are under dispute. Then leftists claim that no one could reasonably dispute the facts; the only people who would dispute facts about the occurrence of an evil are those who sympathize with the evil.

Leftists craft Americans who require evidence into victimizers, simply so they can portray themselves as heroes. If you wanted evidence of racism with regard to the shooting of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, you were a fan of Bull Connor-style police brutality. If you wanted evidence with regard to Lena Dunham’s rape accusations, you stood with rapists. Leftists don’t require any evidence; they will take any allegations that support the narratives they desire at face value because that’s how seriously they take rape, racism, etc.

The left’s mythmaking will continue. And there will never be consequences for that mythmaking because like Sabrina Erdely, their failures spring from caring, no matter who gets hurt.

Sexually active women must be vigilant about protection DEAR ABBY: I’m writing to warn as many other young women as I can about the dangers of unprotected sex.

I thought I had met the man of my dreams. I knew from the beginning he had a girlfriend in his hometown, but he assured me he was breaking it off, so I didn’t think twice about starting a relationship.

Well, she moved here and found out about us. He swore to me that there was no one else besides her and me.

We have now discovered a third girl — his roommate — with whom he was involved.

Abby, he used no protection with any of us. He swore to us all that he always used it and was regularly tested for STDs. Another lie.

Now his former girlfriend thinks she may have picked up an STD from him, and we all have to be tested to ensure we don’t have one.

I now know you can’t trust anything you’re being told unless there’s proof.

Go with the guy to get tested and demand to be there for the results. If you suspect (or know) he’s seeing someone else, always use protection and insist he be tested regularly.

All three of us could have saved our hearts, our bodies and a lot of turmoil if we hadn’t been so trusting. This has left a lasting impression, and now we wonder whether we will be able to trust another man again. — AWAITING THE RESULTS DEAR AWAITING: Your “boyfriend” was dishonest and irresponsible. You can’t be blamed for feeling bitter. Now might be a good time to re-evaluate whether premarital sex is worth the headache and the heartache.

That said, I can’t help but wonder how you intended to avoid infection if you and the man of your dreams were having unprotected sex.

Please take this sad experience as a wake-up call, and schedule an appoint-

ment with your doctor to discuss all of the consequences that may result from unprotected sex in the 21st century.

There are many — and an inability to trust is among the least of them. If a man doesn’t protect his partner, then it’s up to her to protect herself — both from pregnancy and from sexually transmitted diseases, which are rampant.

DEAR ABBY: I recently bought a new cellphone and was assigned a number by the company that sold it to me. I have been receiving calls and messages for the person who had the number before it was given to me.

While the number of the person calling or texting comes up, I do not know the numbers of all my friends and associates, so I have been accepting the calls or texts.

At first, I would let the caller or texter know that the person he/she was trying to reach no longer had this number. However, it takes up my expensive minutes to make those replies.

Am I under any obligation to contact these folks, or can I just ignore their contacts? — POLITE IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR POLITE: No rule of etiquette “compels” you to respond to these callers and texters, so consider yourself off the hook.

to fire police chief

EVANSDALE — The Evansdale City Council has voted to fire its police chief who has led the department since 2012.

The council voted 3-1 Tuesday night following a closed-door meeting to terminate 56-year-old Police Chief Kent Smock. Smock had been on extended leave from his post for the past month and a half. He declined to comment to the Waterloo Cedar-Falls Courier as he left City Hall. Mayor Doug Faas also declined to comment on why Smock was fired.

2 Grassley recommends 2 to fill openings on federal bench

DES MOINES — U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley says he’s recommending a U.S. magistrate and a state district court judge to fill two openings on the federal bench in Iowa.

U.S. Magistrate Leonard Strand, of Sioux City, is being nominated to replace U.S. District Judge Mark Bennett for the Northern District of Iowa. State Judge Rebecca Ebinger, of Polk County, is being nominated to replace U.S. District Judge James Gritzner.

AMES — Authorities say a man has been treated at Mary Greeley Medical Center in Ames for what a witness says was a self-inflicted gunshot.

They found only a bloody trail from one of the apartments. Police soon learned about a man with a wounded hand at the hospital. He was identified as 21-year-old Yuli Ge, who refused to speak to officers.

Bird flu spreads to Iowa turkey flock; 6th Midwest state The Associated Press

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The Vernon Company won the first United Way of Jasper County Champion Award at the United Way 2015 Annual Meeting and Award Celebration Tuesday. Created by Executive Director Jessica Lowe (right), the new award recognizes one business or organization that has gone above and beyond to help United Way meet its goal and provide outstanding support to the organization. The Vernon Company, represented by Director of Marketing Vicki Wade, left, also received first place in the Ruby Giving Level ($10,000+) for donating $24,031 during the past year.

DES MOINES — A bird-flu strain that has already led to the deaths of nearly 2 million turkeys nationwide spread to an Iowa turkey farm, authorities said on Tuesday, bringing to six the number of states hit with the outbreak that was also confirmed at eight more farms in Minnesota.

The announcements on Tuesday came a day after confirmation of the first case of the virus in Wisconsin, the first case of a U.S. commercial chicken farm where the strain was detected, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Scientists believe domestic poultry are get-

ting the highly-contagious H5N2 virus from wild migratory waterfowl but they are puzzled by the accelerating spread despite reinforced biosecurity measures at poultry production and processing facilities. The outbreak has prompted some 40 countries to impose import restrictions on U.S. poultry The Iowa farm is in Buena Vista County housing some 27,000 turkeys, said Iowa Department of Agriculture spokesman Dustin Vande Hoef. The disease was suspected when an abnormally high number of turkeys began dying.

The farm is under quarantine and the turkeys will be destroyed.

The confirmation at

eight additional infected turkey farms in the nation’s biggest producing state of Minnesota brings the state’s total to 22 farms and nearly 1.5 million turkeys lost to the disease. Minnesota raises around 46 million turkeys a year. State Veterinarian Bill Hartmann said he expects more farms to be hit before the threat recedes.

Animal health officials have long said the virus is dangerous to all commercial poultry.

Iowa has 130 turkey farms raising 11 million turkeys a year. The state also is the nation’s leading egg producer with more than 59 million egg layers but no chicken flocks in Iowa have been infected.

Clinton didn’t get into any specifics on Tuesday about how she would achieve her goals, promising that she would do so in coming weeks.

Instead, it was a day for political messaging, as Clinton presented a progressive rationale for her candidacy to quell skepticism from liberals in her party about her commitment to tackling income inequality.

Not all were sold, including some past allies. As Clinton spoke in Iowa, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio, who ran her campaign for Senate in New York, refused to endorse her, saying he wanted to hear more about her policy positions.

EOE M/F/D/V

MONTICELLO — Hillary Rodham Clinton is searching for a second chance in the state that delivered the first blow to her failed presidential campaign eight years ago.

In the midst of a twoday swing through Iowa, the opening act of her 2016 campaign, Clinton is trying to show Democratic voters that she’s taking nothing for granted this time around.

On Wednesday, Clinton tours a family-owned produce company and speaks with small-business leaders outside Des Moines, part of an effort by her campaign to focus on smaller, more personal interactions.

Speaking to students and teachers in Monticello on Tuesday, she sought

ocratic establishment.

She finished third.

This year, she made her Iowa debut at a coffee ship in the Mississippi River town of LeClaire, then on to a community college event in Monticello.

Declaring herself a “champion� for struggling families, Clinton laid out four pillars for her campaign for the Democratic nomination, listing the need to build “the economy of tomorrow, not yesterday,� strengthen families, fix dysfunctional government, and protect the country from threats.

And though she’s running in what’s expected to be the most expensive election in history, Clinton embraced the idea of a constitutional amendment to get “un-

Local News Earn Continued from Page 1A

The information included here is being republished, having already been run on the legal pages of a newspaper within the past 13 months.

One of the discoveries made in reviewing salary averages is that governing bodies don’t always talk to each other, and that reliable statistics for several cities or across an entire state aren’t always kept in a useful way. For example, the Iowa League of Cities no longer publishes regular municipal government salary statistics, as it became too challenging to get cities to regularly supply accurate and up-to-date information.

Each job seemed to have different clusters of comparison data available, and some, such as police and firefighters, might have significant overtime pay as part of gross wages.

The school district wage totals are mostly for the 2013-14 school year, as schools typically work off of a July 1 to June 30 fiscal year. Some statistics are more current.

The city of Newton wage data is for the year 2013 and the Jasper County data is the most current, as it is for 2014.

The cutoff of $60,000 was used as a marking point for the city and county because it’s a round number that’s above the median household income.

The $70,000 marking point for Newton Schools was chosen because the total NCSD payroll for 2013-14 is $20 million — more than $12 million more than both the city and the county. It’s also more than double the average starting teacher salary in Iowa.

For a comparison to a much smaller school district, Baxter, with 124 total salaries to pay in that school year, only had two people — the superintendent and a principal/coach — who made more than $70,000 last year.

Veteran full-time firefighters and police both seem to have plenty of earning capacity, and some Newton principals and other administrators make only slightly more than veteran teachers. There are 35 Newton police or fire employees who made $60,000 or more in 2013, and Newton transitional kindergarten teacher

Diane Babcock received $72,354.75 in gross wages in 2013-14.

Being an elected officials is not necessarily a sign an individual is among the highest paid in a government. Jasper County Attorney Michael Jacobsen is the highest-paid county official, while county Treasurer Doug Bishop is not even among the top 10 county employees in 2014 gross wages.

Some elected officials, such as city council members or school board members, receive only a compensatory annual stipend, which is typically not enough to be a sole source of income. For example, Newton Mayor Mike Hansen makes the same amount annually — $4,000 with a $2,500 car use reimbursement — that Chaz Allen made when he took office as mayor in 2004.

The three Jasper County supervisors, on the other hand, are paid $41,200 per year.

Some of the county’s officials are among the least-compensated in the state, although the three school superintendents who rank among the bottom 50 of their 287 peers all make more than $100,000 annually.

Newton Superintendent Bob Callaghan ranks 38th, and his 201415 wage of $164,364 is more than four times the average Iowa starting teacher salary.

Callaghan has stated many times that personnel is the biggest cost of a school district, which he understands, as teachers and other people are the lifeblood of schools. However, county and city government, with all its responsibility for maintaining complexities such as jails and roads, still has personnel making substantially more than the county average.

Among Iowa county sheriffs, John Halferty’s $96,659.99 puts Jasper County eighth-highest in the state, while Jasper County Conservation Director Keri Van Zante, at $73,088.41, ranks 11th among her Iowa colleagues who have that title in other counties.

The Newton City Library had four employees whose 2013 wages totaled more than a combined $287,000. Library Director Sue Padilla’s salary of $100,902.44 is almost twice as much as the county’s average household income.

Iowa educators frustrated with school funding deadlock DES MOINES — When Paul Gausman submitted a budget proposal recently for the Sioux City school district he helps oversee as superintendent, he had his staff prepare budgets that took into account multiple financing scenarios because they were missing a key detail: how much administrators can actually spend.

“We know that it’s possible that none of those scenarios that we’ve created will come true, and so we have to then go back in and recreate from whatever the exact number is ... it makes our work very, very challenging for us,” he said.

Gausman is in limbo over

funding for the upcoming school year on staffing, programming and expenses like updated textbooks. A similar situation is playing out for school districts across Iowa, as the state Legislature continues to be at an impasse over how much supplemental state aid is available for education funding in the fiscal year that begins on July 1. A difference of about $50 million is holding things up.

The issue has clouded the session as lawmakers are deadlocked, and a deadline Wednesday for school districts to have preliminary approval of their budgets seems to be doing little to prod lawmakers into action.

Iowa academics worried about Historical Society’s future IOWA CITY (AP) — History department leaders from 11 Iowa colleges and universities are raising concerns about cuts to the State Historical Society of Iowa.

The Iowa City Press-Citizen reports the society used to have a staff of 20 in 2000, but has only three people this year. Public visiting hours at the group’s centers in Iowa City and Des Moines have also been cut from five days a week to three.

Some academics believe that the reduced hours signal the centers will be closed.

In the letter to Gov. Terry Branstad and other state officials, the history department leaders stressed the importance of the society’s role in preserving the state’s heritage.

The Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs says the decrease in hours is necessary to do a comprehensive analysis of the state’s collection.

A spokesman for Branstad said the governor had not yet reviewed the letter.

The state plans to spend at least $2.9 billion on K-12 education for the upcoming fiscal year, according to the bipartisan Legislative Services Agency. Democrats, who originally proposed more than $200 million in additional funding, have lowered their push to about $150 million but say it’s less than ideal spending for education. Republicans, who are seeking an increase of more than $100 million as reflected in Gov. Terry Branstad’s budget proposal, say the state cannot afford to spend more. Both proposals include dollars dedicated to teacher leadership training.

Districts are required by state law to certify their bud-

Businesses welcome reduced chance of floods DUBUQUE — Local businesses in Dubuque that rely on the Mississippi River are pleased that there appears to be a reduced chance of flooding this year.

Flooding last spring caused some owners to halt business during tourism season until late May. The National Weather Service showed river levels in the city at 10.23 feet Monday, which is well below the flood stage of 17 feet. The forecasts cite low snowfall levels and a lack of spring rainfall in Minnesota and Wisconsin for factors in keeping flood risks low.

Don Vogt, the Dubuque public works director, says it’s uncommon for the chance of flooding to be this low, especially since the city has seen a significant amount of flooding in recent years.

“Over the last 20 years, we have had a lot of flooding,” he said. “Some years, it seems like the floodwall is closed for half the summer. The way things are playing out this year, I don’t an-

gets for the upcoming school year by the middle of April every year. Superintendents try to submit budgets in advance to their local school boards, but many say it’s a difficult process because of the state Legislature. State law requires lawmakers to approve the K-12 funding at a much earlier date in the legislative process, though there is no repercussion for missing the deadline. Lawmakers have not approved school funding on time in several years.

That tardiness is frustrating, said Art Tate, superintendent of the public school district in Davenport. It keeps teachers and staff on edge because there’s uncer-

ticipate having to close Ice Harbor or any sections of the floodwall.”

Nancy and Walt Webster, owners of Dubuque River Rides, say their two ships had to remain locked into the city’s Ice Harbor until May 28.

“We had to cancel a lot of cruises and disappoint a lot of people,” recalled Nancy Webster.

“That ends up being very expensive, and it puts you in a bind financially.”

Jon Roth, the owner of SWAT River Tours, says he was forced to wait before providing the first tour of his newly-launched business last year because of flood levels. This year he plans to give his first tour of the season Saturday, about six weeks earlier than he did in 2014.

“I took the boat out for a test run (Monday), and things looked pretty good,” he said.

“There was a little debris from the recent rains we had, but we are starting off a lot better than last year.”

tainty over whether they will have jobs later that year.

“You have to lay those things out there, which is emotionally devastating for a district,” he said. “It’s not the way to do business but that’s the way you have to do it when the Legislature is not willing to make decisions early.”

Branstad, speaking to reporters Monday, said he wants to give school districts “stability and predictability” when it comes to what they can spend. He also wants Democrats and Republicans to come to an agreement soon, and pledged to work with the Legislature to find a solution.

Audit of tiny Iowa town finds improper pay to city employees DES MOINES (AP) — A state auditor’s investigation of a tiny western Iowa town has revealed more than $30,000 in improper pay to city employees and more than $75,000 in unpaid taxes, according to a report released Tuesday.

Auditor Mary Mosiman issued the report on the investigation of Pacific Junction that found $31,842 in wrongful disbursements to city officials over a five-year period, from July 1, 2008, through June 30, 2013. It also identified $75,825 in unpaid payroll taxes, including about one-third of that total in penalties and interest.

Concerns from citizens about the frequency and number of payroll checks received by city employees prompted the review. Pacific Junction has a population of approximately 471.

According to the report, City Clerk Kari Williams received nearly $16,000 in unauthorized vacation, sick leave and holiday pay and more than $1,000 in double-counted hours and unidentified payouts. Mosiman reported several instances where Williams issued her own paycheck before processing payroll for other employees, and calculated that Williams worked an average of close to 26 hours each week, making her ineligible for benefits granted to fulltime employees — including paid vacation, sick leave and holidays.

Cardinal girls shut out Lions

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Posting their third straight shutout, Newton High’s girls defeated visiting Des Moines Christian 3-0 Tuesday at H.A. Lynn Stadium. The Cardinal girls’ soccer team improved to 4-1.

The Class 2A 11thranked Cardinals scored three times in the first half. They had 36 shots on goal putting the pressure on the Lions’ freshman goalkeeper Aspen Brockhouse throughout the game. Brockhouse was a brickhouse in the second half.

“Their goal keeper did play very well, especially in the second half.

They bunched up in the box so we had a hard time shooting,” said Abby Lamont, Newton head coach. “We had a lot of shots, but I don’t know if we could hit the cross bar more than we did tonight.”

Newton’s top goal scorer Ryanne Rausch put up her 12th goal of the season to break open a scoreless game with 24 minutes, 46 seconds remaining in the first half. Taylor Shipley put a crossing pass up in the air and Rausch headed the ball into the net.

“I was just trying to cross it over from Ryanne. I knew she was going to be there to finish

it. I was dribbling down the sideline and chipped it up for her,” Shipley said of her assist.

Hannah Rhoads ripped a long kick over everyone to the back of the net at the 11:10 mark of the first half.

Newton was up 2-0, the Shipley got behind Brockhouse on a shot by a Newton teammate.

“We always have to be ready if the goalie just tips the ball instead of grabbing it. I was right there in front of the goal to finish when the ball got past her,” Shipley said.

Shipley’s unassisted chip-shot goal came with 23 seconds left on the first-half clock. The teams played almost 99-percent of the second half right in front of Brockhouse, who made several nice saves against the Cardinals.

Newton sophomore goalkeeper Ashley Freese wasn’t challenged and didn’t have a save in the game. Lamont pointed to the way the Cardinal players controlled the ball, keeping it — for the most part — on Des Moines Christian’s side of the field.

“We are definitely connecting right now,” senior defender Rylie Udelhoven said. “Our midfielders are getting out wide really well,

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Battling for the ball is Newton High’s Taylor Shipley (15) against Des Moines Christian’s Brittany Zimmer (26). Shipley scored and had an assist in Newton’s 3-0 win at home against the Lions Tuesday.

which gives us good opportunities to pass the ball and control things.”

Udelhoven is back on the field for the Cardinals this season after suffering a season-ending knee injury in the second game last year.

“It feels so good to being back out here and playing. It’s great not having any more pain,” Udelhoven said.

Lamont said the Cardinals played at a slower tempo Tuesday than they did on Saturday.

“We passed the ball really well tonight. I don’t know if the girls slowed the pace to improve their passing or what, but I can’t complain,” Lamont said.

“We still need to work on finishing our offensive opportunities.

“We played a very good game in preparation for our tournament Saturday.”

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News GRINNELL — Twenty-seven shots shaved off their team total, Newton High’s Cardinal girls made playing their first and second competition of the season on back-toback days look promising for the 2015 season.

After shooting a 206 Monday at Urbandale, the Cardinals came back to claim their first team win of the season Tuesday. Newton posted a 179 to win a Little Hawkeye Conference triangular meet against host Grinnell, 189, and Oskaloosa, 247.

“Our girls played a very nice round of golf Tuesday. They all knew what they needed to improve on after Monday’s first meet,” said Scott Enyart, Newton head coach. “Each one showed improvement and they know they can continue to improve their games.”

Newton’s Jessica Reynolds

and Grinnell’s Sarah Fr i s c h m e y e r played in the same group Tuesday. The two LHC golfers finished in a tie at the 2014 Class 4A state golf tourEnyart nament, each shooting a 180.

“These two young ladies had quite a shoot out Tuesday,” Enyart said. “I wish I had been there to see it.”

Enyart said he was gone because of another commitment, so NHS assistant coach Alison Grier guided the Cardinal golfers in the meet at Grinnell’s Oakland Acres Golf Club.

Reynolds carded a career-best 38 as the meet’s top medalist in the nine-hole event. Frischmeyer shot a 39 as runner-up.

Reynolds had birdies on

holes No. 3 and No. 7, both Par-4s. Enyart said chipped in on No. 7, which is the hardest hole on the course. He said he asked each Newton Reynolds golfer to tell him what part of their game improved.

“Jessica said it was her ball striking. She was driving the ball well,” he said. “Cydney Hillyard said she didn’t rush things today and boomed away on her drives.”

Hillyard finished the day at 46. She made a great recovery from hitting her ball into the water on No. 8 and chipped in to save bogey. Hillyard had a par on No. 6.

Shelbey Cochran carded a 47 for the event. She told her coach her tee shots went much better than on Monday. Enyart said Cochran is right there in

breaking through for a really good round of golf. Cochran had a long putt on No. 4 for par.

Emily Fitzgerald scored for the varsity for the first time as she shot a 48. Fitzgerald told Enyart it was improved tee shots and better putting which improved in her game.

Abby Jolivette and Olivia Maharry each put up a 54.

Newton’s junior varsity had a four-player score of 216 in Tuesday’s competition. Jessie Smith led the way with a 51 followed by Amber Sorensen with a 54. Hannah Scotton had a 55 and Alyssa Bartels carded a 56.

Lizzy Coyle shot a 59 and Taylor Dydell had a 64.

Newton’s varsity heads to the West Des Moines Valley Classic Monday at Willow Creek Golf Course.

Raiders still finding their way on the pitch

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MAXWELL — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter girls soccer coach Gary Cummings expects his club to be better at the end of the year than they are at the beginning.

And the first step in completing that season-long process may be to find a way to put more pressure on opposing defenses.

One night after getting outshot 28-0 in a 5-0 loss to Gilbert, the Raiders were outshot 50-3 in another Heart of Iowa Conference loss to North Polk.

Senior goalkeeper Lexi Breon did what she could to keep her team in the match, but the Comets scored 15 minutes into Tuesday’s match and never looked back in a 7-0 win at Sullivan Field.

“They have heart and they are young. Some of these girls have played the game, and some of them haven’t. So we are trying to teach the game of soccer, and it’ll come,” Cummings said. “The fact that they have heart and they don’t give up is good because you can’t teach that stuff.”

Breon finished with 23 saves against Gilbert and prevented 35 attempts against North Polk, but the offense has been shut out through the first 160 minutes of the season. “(Breon) always does a good job,” Cummings said in reference to his senior keeper. “She played well tonight and last night. She is one of the best keepers around and could start for many teams.”

Sophomore Hannah Becker put North Polk up 1-0 with 25:32 to play in the first half and then Sydnee Wrage made it 2-0 six and a half minutes later.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter goalkeeper Lexi Breon, right, makes one of her 35 saves against North Polk on Tuesday in Maxwell. The Raiders trailed 4-0 at the half and dropped to 0-2 on the year following the 7-0 loss.

Those two goals came between a pair of diving stops by Breon. She made another diving save with 50 seconds left in the first half that kept the deficit at 4-0.

The ball rolled to the left corner but just before it got into the goal, Breon swatted it away from the ground.

Joy Smith made it 4-0 with back-to-back goals during a span of more than 4 minutes and Smith completed the hat trick with another goal with 17:25 to go in the game.

Smith’s fourth and final goal came with 16:10 to play

Iowa to host Pittsburgh, Minnesota at night IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa will play its first night games at Kinnick Stadium in three years with a pair of primetime contests this fall.

The Big Ten Network and the league announced Monday that the Hawkeyes will host Pittsburgh on Sept. 19 and Minnesota on Nov. 14 in primetime.

CMB girls golf takes third twice

It will be the first time Iowa has hosted multiple night games in the same season. Since Kinnick Stadium is one of the few nationally without permanent lights, temporary lighting will be brought in.

Iowa last played a night game at home in 2012.

and it made it 7-0.

Kate Shoemaker also scored a goal for the Comets, who have begun the season 3-0 overall and 1-0 in HOIC play.

CMB (0-2, 0-2) didn’t have too many chances to score.

Its best opportunity came with 28 minutes to play when West Marshall freshman Tatum Tremain got free in the open field.

Tremain forced the Comet keeper to charge the ball and the two collided just inside the box, but the Raiders couldn’t convert.

“We tried some different

spots tonight with the girls and a few of them responded to that well,” Cummings said.

“It’s going to be a learning process, I think they all understand that. As long as they don’t give up, we’ll look totally different at the end of the year.”

The learning process continues at 5:30 p.m. Thursday when the Raiders return to their home pitch to face Ballard.

Playing on back-toback nights, the Collins-Maxwel l/Baxter girls’ golf team finished third twice on Monday and Tuesday.

“We played extremely well yesterday, but I think we had some tired legs today after playing 18 holes yesterday,” C-M golf coach Dave Brahm said. “The greens also played really fast. The approach shots weren’t landing where we expected them to land.”

Jimmy Abell led the Tigerhawks with a 41and Brady DeJoode shot a 44.

Mason Mosher carded a 48 and Jake Jeter finished with a 55 to round out the scoring.

The Tigerhawks play in an 18-hole tournament at 8 a.m.

Saturday in Knoxville.

Koder wins twice, PCM takes third in Pella

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PELLA — The chances to qualify for the Drake Relays are running thin.

The Prairie City-Monroe boys’ track and field team had another chance Tuesday and came away with two first-place finishes, one runner-up tally and a quartet of third-place finishes at Pella Christian High School.

Harris, Laube earn golds at Hi Charger Relays

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News CHARITON — Newton High’s boys lost a track meet a week ago because of inclement weather. The Cardinals were able to get into the Hi Charger Relays hosted by Chariton Tuesday.

The deadline for qualifying for the 2015 Drake Relays is Thursday night. Track teams are squeezing in as many opportunities for athletes to meet the qualifying times or marks before then.

Newton’s Deonne Harris won the Hi Charger Relays’ Large Class 110-meter high hurdles in 14.58 seconds, which is the third-fastest time in the state. Harris captured first in the 400 hurdles in 57.74 seconds.

Christian Laube is making an effort to get to the Drake Relays in the 1,600 meters.

He won the event Tuesday in 4 minutes, 58.64 seconds.

Dylan Main was ninth in the race in 5:27.73. Laube took fifth in the 800 in 2:15.12 and Mikey Bradley placed ninth

in 2:18.87.

Harris combined with Jake Bennett, Jaron Roush and Matthew Karsten to claim second in the 4x110-meter shuttle hurdle race in 1:06.16. Jack Callaghan placed third in the 400 in 54.82 seconds and Clayton Baltisberger took 10th in the 200 in 25.33 seconds.

Newton’s 4x800 relay team of Bradley, De’Andre Roush, Zach Theis and Laube ran fourth in 9:28.28. The 1,600 sprint relay foursome of Carson Cazett, Baltisberger, Bennett and Callaghan was fourth

in 4:01.58.

Josh Miravalies, Harrison McCarey, Karsten and Harris combined for fourth place in the 4x100 relay in 47.17 seconds. The 4x200 relay team of Miravalies, Cazett, Baltisberger and Jaron Roush was seventh in 1:44.41, and the 4x400 foursome of Callaghan, Bennett, McCarey and Karsten placed sixth in 3:55.

Jace Lukefahr finished fourth in the discus with a throw of 107 feet, 2 inches.

Mason Bowes was eighth at 101-1. Bowes placed sixth in

the shot put with a toss of 38-7 and Alex Miller took eighth at 38-3.

Newton scored 78 points to place fifth in the eightteam field of the Large Class Division. Albia won the team title with 142.5 points The Cardinals compete at home Thursday in the Cardinal Invitational. Field events begin at 4:30 p.m. at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

Cardinals post road victory

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Tristan Peters (5) goes after the ball in a home match earlier this season. The Cardinal boys handed host Knoxville its first loss of the season Tuesday night, winning 3-1. Newton improved to 3-2 on the season. The Cardinals play at home Friday against Boone. Newton’s junior varsity also won at Knoxville Tuesday, 3-2. No details on the NHS boys’ soccer matches were available at press time.

Frantic closing night awaits in the NBA, with much to decide

By Tim Reynolds AP Basketball Writer Take a bow, NBA schedule-makers.

The last day of the 2014-15 regular season has arrived. And it’s loaded with intrigue, with more than half of the games on the closing docket having some effect on the playoff picture.

Here’s just some of what will be decided Wednesday night: — Seven of the eight first-round playoff matchups, with the lone one decided so far pitting Cleveland against Boston in a rematch of LeBron James’ last series with the Cavaliers before he left for Miami in 2010.

— Seeds for eight of the 16 postseason-bound teams.

— The fates of New Orleans, Oklahoma City, Brooklyn and Indiana. Half of that group gets in, half goes home.

— The scoring title, though Russell Westbrook seems far enough ahead of James Harden to keep that in Oklahoma City and succeeding teammate Kevin Durant as the league’s points king. Assuming both play, Harden would have to outscore Westbrook by about 35 points to pass him in the race.

If Westbrook wins, it’ll be the first time since 1952 and 1953 that one team had two different players win the scoring title in consecutive years.

Of course, that will be no more than an ancillary thought for the Thunder. Like plenty of other teams, they might find themselves doing some serious scoreboard-watching on Wednesday.

Some storylines for closing night: Seeds Still Not Set: In the East, Atlanta (1), Cleveland (2), Washington (5), Milwaukee (6) and Boston (7) have their playoff seeds locked up. In the West, Golden State (1), Portland (4, but without home-court in the first round) and Dallas (7) know their bracket spots.

Everything else, still up for grabs.

West Clutter: The defending champion San Antonio Spurs start the night No. 3 in the West, and could rise to No. 2.

They could also fall all the way to No. 6.

It’s a mess in the West.

There’s obvious incentive for San Antonio to win at New Orleans. A Spurs win, they’re the No. 2 seed. And they’ll be rooting for the Spurs in Oklahoma City, too.

The only way Oklahoma City — a team with so much talent and so much bad luck on injury fronts this season — will reach the playoffs is if the Spurs beat New Orleans and the Thunder win at Minnesota.

But don’t expect Westbrook to wear silver and black.

“I ain’t got to root for nobody,” Westbrook said.

“Ain’t no Spurs fan.”

Houston could get the No. 2 seed if it beats Utah and the Spurs lose. The Rockets could also finish fifth or sixth.

The Los Angeles Clippers — whose season is over at 56-26, and who start the night in the No. 2 spot — will have no worse than the No. 3 seed. If the Spurs and Rockets both lose, the Clippers stay at No. 2.

Continued from Page 3B

At the par 36 Jewell Golf and Country Club, CMB shot a 252 on Tuesday. West Marshall won with a 220, edging South Hamilton by one stroke.

Porter was the meet medalist with a 47 and South Hamilton’s Sidney Alsager was runner-up with a 51.

CMB was led by Ericson’s 58 and Clapper’s 60. Hlavacek had a counting score of 64 and Risdal’s 70 was the final counting score.

The Raiders play at 4 p.m. Monday at Terrace Hills Golf Course.The meet hosted

by Bondurant-Farrar also will feature Prairie City-Monroe.

Contact Troy Hyde at 641-792-3121 ext. 6536 or thyde@newtondailynews.com

That added up to a third-place finish as the Mustangs finished with 97 points.

They trailed Pella and Lynnville-Sully in the standings.

“We competed well and it feels good to be competitive and see the progress,” PCM coach Collin Harrison said. “We are getting a lot of PRs, which is great for this time of year.”

Skyler Koder was a part of both PCM wins. He won the high jump with a

best mark of 5 feet, 10 inches.

He was the only jumper to make 5-10 so he pushed straight to Koder 6-3 with hopes of qualifying for Drake but couldn’t get a new personal record.

Koder anchored the shuttle hurdle relay team to a gold medal. Ricky Reeve, Austin Sneller and Luke Pendroy and Koder finished in 1 minute, 4.03 seconds.

Memphis will be No. 5 or No. 6, and either New Orleans or Oklahoma City will be No. 8. If the Pelicans win or the Thunder lose, New Orleans is in, Oklahoma City out.

East Picture: It’s a little clearer in the East.

Top-seeded Atlanta will play either Indiana or Brooklyn. If the Pacers beat Memphis, they’re the 8 seed. If the Pacers lose and Brooklyn wins, the Nets get the last spot.

Cleveland gets Boston. That’s done.

Chicago would be the No. 3 seed if it beats Atlanta, or No. 4 if it loses and Toronto tops Charlotte.

Big 3: There’s history for the Spurs to play for on Wednesday as well.

Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish won 540 games together with the Boston Celtics.

So far, the Spurs’ Big 3 — Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili and Tony Parker — have combined to win 539 regular-season contests together.

Those are the only trios in NBA history to top the 500-win-together mark.

Laker History: Yes, even the Los Angeles Lakers — who haven’t spent a single day over the .500 mark since November 2013 — have something compelling going on closing night.

They could avoid being the worst Laker team ever.

If they beat Sacramento, they would finish 22-60 and with a winning percentage of .268. If they lose, they finish 21-61, winning percentage there of .256.

For now, the worst record in franchise history comes from the 1957-58 Minneapolis Lakers, who went 19-53 (.264).

T h e lone second-place f i n i s h c a m e in the 4x400 relay. Noah Anderson, Tyler Dredge, Reeve B r a d y North and Maverick McAtee crossed in 3:46.85.

Anderson and McAtee were a part of individual bronze medal finishes.

Anderson, a freshman, took third in the 400 with a personal-best time of 54.73 seconds.

McAtee was third in the 1,600 with a time of 4:54. Koder was third in the 110 high hurdles. He crossed in a personal-best 16.55 and the distance medley relay team finished third in 4:13. That foursome included Anderson, Sheldon Speers, North and Noah Henkenius.

PCM competes at Adel at 4:30 p.m. Friday.

Harrison may try to get Koder into a meet Thursday for a final shot at the Drake Relays.
