Grassley criticizes Obama, ObamaCare in forum with NHS students on Friday

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) held an open forum on Friday with the students of Newton Senior High School and at the beginning, he told the students that “no questions were inappropriate” and that he would answer any and all questions they presented.

Grassley held up his end of the bargain and did not bite his tongue on the subjects present-

Business

75 cents

ed to him, which included questions about Gov. Terry Branstad closing the Iowa Juvenile Home, his thoughts on the Affordable Care Act and President Barack Obama himself.

“This might offend some of you, but I don’t think he’s prepared to be President,” Grassley said, when asked about working with Obama compared to past presidents while being in the Senate. “I think he has made the world more dangerous by doing

what he calls ‘leading from behind’ instead of leading up front.

“I’m surprised about the fact that he doesn’t want to work with Congress, because when he was a Senator, it seemed like he worked very well within the Congress. But now that he is President, it seems like he doesn’t want to deal with Congress. I think some things that he has done are even unconstitutional.”

Zach Johnson/Daily News Sen. Chuck Grassley spoke to students at Newton Senior High School on Friday. Grassley told the students he would answer all of their questions, which included questions on his feelings about his working relationship with President Barack Obama.

Todd Fox became the new store director at the Newton Hy-Vee on March 31. He comes from an Iowa City store.

“The transition has been going great with the help of our staff ’s experience, knowledge and personalities,” Fox said. “They’re the core of the store. They have welcomed my wife and me with open arms.”

The opportunity to become the store director at the Newton Hy-Vee has been another step in his career with Hy-Vee. “I have been working with Hy-Vee for 17 years in June,” Fox said. “It was about 12 years ago that I made the decision to make Hy-Vee a career for me because of how they have always taken care of me.

“I started as a part-time courtesy clerk, bagging groceries and pushing carts. I moved up the ranks and each time they have taken very good care of me. I was given the opportunity to get into management, and the support of Hy-Vee made me feel that I could become a store director.”

The spring and summer season brings a time of freshening up the store for the new season. The Newton Hy-Vee is on track to get a version of a Market Grill or a café, which has been implemented into the design of newly-built stores.

“I have my first meeting for that on May 7 and with everything that I have heard all the stores are still on track to get a version of the grill or café,” Fox said. “The grill is a restaurant with a bar with beer and wine with a full service menu and the cafe still has the beer and wine, but has a different style of menu.”

The first major project Fox is going to complete this spring and summer is fixing the pot holes in the parking lot.

Grassley Continued from Page 1A A specific instance the senator cited he felt was an unconstitutional act by the President was ordering a recess appointment. Recess appointments takes place when a U.S. President appoints someone as a senior U.S. federal official while the U.S. Senate is in recess.

“The Constitution says that only the Senate can determine when we are in session,” Grassley said. “So, we made a point of nonadjourning, because if we adjourned he could make what they call ‘recess appointments.’”

“A lot of times we stay in session — even though we aren’t doing anything — for that sole purpose, so he can’t do anything with appointments. We also did that because the Democrats wanted us to do it when Bush was President. So it isn’t just something we are doing because of a Democrat President.”

Grassley was also highly critical of the Affordable Care Act when the students asked him about it.

Fox Continued from Page 1A “We have been working with a company in town that we thought would be taking care of that this week and they told us that they wouldn’t be able to do it until July,” Fox said.

“We have contacted other companies to complete the project.

Our goal is to have it done by the end of the week [upon starting the project].”

Fox also plans to have a continued growth of the community garden.

“We have received a grant from Hy-Vee corporate offices through our One-Step program,” Fox said. “The

“The short answer is I voted against it,” Grassley said.

The senator said there were a number of reasons he voted against the bill when it was presented to the Senate and since its inception, he has even more reasons he is against the Act, which is commonly referred to as “ObamaCare.”

“There are reasons to back up voting ‘no’ right now. Number one, if you like your health insurance, you can keep it. There’s millions of people that are finding out that, that’s not true,” Grassley said. “If you want to keep your doctor, you can keep your doctor.

There’s a lot of new health plans that are making people change doctors.”

Grassley said, according to the Congressional Budget Office, the Act was supposed to cost around $900 billion during a 10year preview.

“It’s coming out to a lot, lot more of that — the cost of it,” Grassley said.

While there were a lot of serious questions asked by the students — which included sophomore, junior and

senior NHS students — there were also some humorous and less serious moments.

“Do you manage your own Twitter account?” one NHS student asked the Senator.

Grassley has one of the most popular Twitter accounts for a politician and currently has more than 76,000 followers. To prove that he does indeed personally “tweet,” the Senator had his aide hand him is iPhone.

“I’m at newton HS,” Grassley live tweeted to the delight of the students.

The tweet has now been retweeted 18 times and favorited 20 times.

After engaging with students for more than an hour, Grassley visited several other locations in Central Iowa including Grinnell High School.

“I hold town hall meetings all the time, but I come to high schools because you never see young people at those meetings,” Grassley said.

One-Step program is part of our sales of potatoes throughout the company that goes into an account at corporate that they give back to the stores to help us build our community gardens.”

Fox feels that not much planning outside of minor cosmetic work will be needed to be done this spring and summer.

“The store is in very good shape,” Fox said.

“We have some lights that need fixed and some painting around the store.”

In his career at HyVee, Fox has grown a passion for promotions and is looking forward to doing more with the community over

the spring and summer months.

“We will be doing four hour sales to build up anticipation and in a couple of weeks we will be doing a grill out in appreciation of our customers,” Fox said.

“Hy-Vee will be more than just a place to shop it will be a place where you can come and hang out with your friends and maybe pick up some groceries. It’s that kind of experience that I like to add to Hy-Vee.”

Tornadoes kill 16 in Arkansas, 1 in Oklahoma VILONIA, Ark. (AP) — Emergency officials on Monday began searching for survivors in the debris left by a powerful tornado that carved an 80-mile path of destruction through suburban Little Rock, killing at least 16 people.

The tornado that slammed into Vilonia, about 10 miles west of the state capital, on Sunday evening grew to about half a mile wide and was among a rash of tornadoes and heavy storms that rumbled across the center and south of the country overnight. The National Weather Service warned that the destructive storms — including more tornadoes, damaging winds and very large hail — would continue to strike in parts of Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee and Louisiana on Monday.

Brandon Morris, spokesman for the Arkansas Department of Emergency Management, said crews were sifting through the rubble in the hope of uncovering survivors and to assess the full extent of the destruction.

“Right now, the main focus is life safety,” Morris said. “We’re trying to make sure everyone is accounted for.”

Karla Ault, a Vilonia High School volleyball coach, said she sheltered in the school gymnasium as the storm approached. After it passed, her husband told her their home was reduced to the slab on which it had sat.

“I’m just kind of numb. It’s just shock that you lost everything. You don’t understand everything you have until you realize that all I’ve got now is just what I have on,” Ault said.

A meteorologist with the National Weather Service in North Little Rock said he was virtually certain the storm that hit Vilonia and nearby Mayflower would be rated as the nation’s strongest twister to date this year.

“It has the potential to be EF3 or greater,” meteorologist Jeff Hood said. EF3 storms have winds greater than 136 mph. “Based on some of the footage we’ve seen from Mayflower and where it crossed Interstate 40, things were wrecked in a very significant way.”

He said officials are also looking at the environmental impact.

“Making sure utilities are cut off in the area. We don’t want anything to get, any fires to start or anything like that.”

DIMENSIONS ACCOUNTING Accounting and Income Taxes

Another twister killed a person in Quapaw, Okla., before crossing into Kansas to the north and destroying 60 to 70 homes and injuring 25 people in the city of Baxter Springs, according to authorities in Kansas. A suspected tornado struck near Plain Dealing in northwest Louisiana.

The overall death toll stood at 17 early Monday.

Sue McBride, a 71-year old retired sewing machinist in Baxter Springs, said she thought the tornado sirens could spell a false alarm.

But then she saw and heard the twister approaching. She said debris flew all around as she ran into her home. She hunkered on her knees in her hallway with her head down as the tornado shattered her windows, spraying glass all over her.

“I didn’t have one scratch on me and I was fine,” McBride said from a Red Cross shelter in the city, where the tornado left a trail of shattered homes, twisted metal and hanging power lines.

The Arkansas twister shredded cars, trucks and 18-wheelers stuck along Interstate 40 north of Little Rock. After the storm passed, tractor-trailer rigs tried to navigate through the damage as gawkers captured cellphone photos of the destruction.

State troopers went vehicle-tovehicle to check on motorists and found — with genuine surprise — that no one was killed.

“About 30 vehicles — large trucks, sedans, pickup trucks — were going through there when the funnel cloud passed over,” said Bill Sadler, a spokesman for the Arkansas State Police.

Nearby Conway Regional Medical Center said it treated about 100 people injured in the storm.

Among the ruins was a new $14 million intermediate school that had been set to open this fall.

“There’s just really nothing there anymore. We’re probably going to have to start all over again,” Vilonia Schools Superintendent Frank Mitchell said after surveying what was left of the building.

Late Sunday, emergency workers and volunteers went door-to-door checking for victims and survivors.

“It turned pitch black,” said Mark Ausbrooks, who was at his parents’ home in Mayflower when the storm arrived. “I ran and got pillows to put over our heads and ... all hell broke loose.”

Help to cure child abuse by learning its symptoms DEAR ABBY: Child abuse is epidemic in the United States. It occurs at every socioeconomic level, across ethnic and cultural levels, within all religions and at all levels of education. Every year, more than 3 million reports of child abuse are made in the U.S. Without intervention, about 30 percent of those abused and neglected children will later abuse their own children.

With the proper skills, all parents can raise happy, healthy children. Treatment is necessary, but our communities also need to do a better job at prevention.

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month. Please ask your readers to learn about programs and activities in their communities that support parents and promote healthy families. — JOHN E. THORESEN, DIRECTOR, BARBARA SINATRA CHILDREN’S CENTER, RANCHO MIRAGE, CALIF. DEAR MR. THORESEN: Thank you for your letter. Readers, the first step to curbing child abuse is recognizing it.

These are the 10 most common indicators: 1. UNEXPLAINED INJURIES: Visible signs may include burns or bruises in the shape of objects. There may be unconvincing explanations for a child’s injuries.

2. CHANGES IN BEHAVIOR: Abused children often appear scared, anxious, depressed, withdrawn or more aggressive.

3. RETURNING TO EARLIER BEHAVIOR: Abused children may display behaviors shown when they were younger, such as thumb-sucking, bedwetting, fear of the dark or strangers. For some, loss of basic language or memory problems may occur.

4. FEAR OF GOING HOME: Abused children may express fear or anxiety about leaving school or going places with the abuser.

5. CHANGES IN EATING: The stress, fear and anxiety lead to changes in a child’s eating behaviors, which may re-

sult in weight gain or weight loss.

6. CHANGES IN SLEEP HABITS: The child may have frequent nightmares or have difficulty falling asleep, and appear tired or fatigued.

7. CHANGES IN SCHOOL PERFORMANCE OR ATTENDANCE: Children may demonstrate difficulty concentrating in school or experience excessive absences, sometimes because of adults trying to hide the children’s injuries from authorities.

8. LACK OF PERSONAL CARE OR HYGIENE: The child may appear unkempt, be consistently dirty and have severe body odor, or lack sufficient clothing for the weather.

9. RISK-TAKING BEHAVIORS: The child may engage in high-risk activities such as using drugs or alcohol, or carrying a weapon.

10. INAPPROPRIATE SEXUAL BEHAVIOR: A sexually abused child may exhibit overly sexualized behavior or use explicit sexual language.

We can all support children and parents to reduce the stress that often leads to abuse and neglect. Be a friend to a parent or child you know. Volunteer your time or donate to programs that support child abuse treatment and prevention as well as those that build healthy families.

Trust your instincts. Suspected abuse is enough of a reason to contact authorities.

Researchers followed 73,000 post-menopausal women and discovered that those who walked at a moderate pace (about 3 miles per hour) for an hour a day lowered their risk of developing breast cancer by 14% compared to women who were sedentary. Those women who engaged in an hour a day of more vigorous exercise (a light jog, moderate cycling or lap swimming) reduced their risk by 25%.

Sponsorship Summit gives an inside look

Business Briefs

Iowa unemployment rate increases to 4.5 percent

By Zach Johnson Daily News Staff Writer The Iowa Speedway Sponsor Summit was an inside look at the business of NASCAR with many top executives of NASCAR talking about the future of the sport from a business perspective.

The summit offered sponsors of Iowa Speedway an opportunity to learn about the future of their investments into Iowa Speedway and now NASCAR. “I thought the Sponsor Summit went very well,” NASCAR Executive Vice President Steve O’Donnell said. “We have a new staff that is enthusiastic to work with sponsorship partners to collaborate on some new ideas, so all in all it was a very good day. There’s still a lot of work still ahead with the speedway and the sponsors, but we’re excited about it.”

Iowa Speedway, since its inception, has always had a local ownership that worked closely with the people of NASCAR, but NASCAR plans to keep things local with all the staff from Iowa Speedway moving to Iowa.

“The folks of NASCAR are very familiar with the Iowa Speedway and Newton,” O’Donnell said. “We’re looking forward to continuing and building the relationships with Newton. Jimmy loves living here. We’re a part of the community and working hand in hand.”

The MB2 Raceway in

Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate inched up to 4.5 percent in March, primarily driven by another large increase in the state’s labor force.

The March jobless rate compared with 4.4 percent for February, and 4.8 percent for March one year ago.

Meanwhile, the U.S. unemployment rate for March held steady at 6.7 percent.

The statewide estimate of unemployed persons edged up to 76,000 in March from 74,200 in February. The number of unemployed stood at 79,300 one year ago.

The total number of working Iowans increased to 1,615,200 in March from 1,609,900 in February.

The current figure is 27,100 higher than one year ago.

Bob Eschliman/Daily News Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small talks with Sam Hornish Jr. before the start of the Iowa Speedway Sponsor Summit held Thursday at MB2 Raceway. Dozens of sponsors participated, getting an inside look at the auto racing industry.

Grimes played into the theme of the summit. The sponsors were introduced to the business NASCAR through the eyes of driver Sam Hornish Jr. who was on hand to present at the summit.

“The dreams of many racers began in businesses like this,” NASCAR Sam Hornish Jr. said.

Hornish talked about how his sponsorship deal with a cordless telephone company lead him to realize the importance of sponsorship within the sport of auto racing.

“I didn’t know how to sell cordless telephones, but after completely selling all 2,500 cordless phones, I was able to continue to do what I love,” Hornish said. “Looking back on it now makes me appreciate of the sponsorships that I have now.”

Area company enters Smart Home industry

Throughout the summit, Hornish had his favorite Monster Energy Drink, the low-carb blue.

The idea of having a sponsorship summit is unique for a track, but coming from a driver’s perspective, Hornish appreciated the fact that a track was getting involved so much with its sponsors.

“The summit was a true representation of what sponsorship in NASCAR and motor sports is about: to expect to just slap your logo on a car or track and expect it to help your business isn’t very smart,” Hornish said. “The active relationship between the sponsors and the track, car or company is what makes the investment of sponsorship worthwhile.”

Area Internet provider Partner Communications Cooperative recently announced they have launched SmartLink Home Monitoring and Automation and is bringing this technology to Marshall, Jasper and Poweshiek counties.

“We like to think we’re beyond the cutting edge in our smart home capabilities,” said Donald Jennings, general manager Donald Jennings said.

“We’re building integrated systems that control everything from HVAC and lights to door locks and even water systems.”

Jennings said SmartLink uses the Internet and a rules-based system to automate and control nearly anything in a home – and the system can be operated from a smart phone, tablet or computer. He said some of the company’s more novel uses of smart technology include helping customers monitor elderly loved ones – they get a text message if a relative doesn’t get out of bed by a certain time or open the medicine cabinet to take their pills.

Jennings said Partner is predicting rapid growth in the smart home industry, and is vying to be a statewide leader in smart product installation and service.

Harris, Kalkhoff capture Drake Relays medals

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton junior Sarah Kalkhoff claimed her second straight sixth-place medal at the Drake Relays on Friday in the high school girls’ discus event.

DES MOINES — Stepping into the starting blocks and the throwing ring, Newton juniors Deonne Harris and Sarah Kalkhoff had the same thoughts — make the finals. Make the finals they did, on a sunny Friday morning at the 2014 Drake Relays, and both earned medals in their respective events.

Harris, who narrowly missed the finals of the 110-meter high hurdles a year ago, overcame two “bad starts” on the day to captured the fourthplace medal in the high school boys’ 110-meter hurdles. Harris ran second in his heat race at 14.70 then came back with a 14.55 in the final, beating the winner of his heat race.

Kalkhoff claimed her second straight sixth-place medal at the Drake Relays in the high school girls’ discus. She admitted it wasn’t her best day of throwing. Kalkhoff used her second throw of the finals to solidify sixth at 127 feet, 3 inches.

“I didn’t throw as well as I wanted to but sixth place at Drake Relays is not bad,” Kalkhoff said. “The top 24 in the state come to Drake and I’m pretty happy. You always want to do your best.”

Kalkhoff said she never has good warm-up throws and “everyone has an off day. So, my off day I was sixth at Drake Relays.” Kalkhoff, who holds the NHS girls’ discus record at 135’8”, said her ultimate goal this season is to throw 140 feet.

“I just need to peak at state. That’s the ultimate time to peak,” Kalkhoff said.

Hawks’ Meyer, Raiders’ Samson and Coughenour medal at Drake Relays

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor DES MOINES — Three area high school boys walked out of Drake Sta-

dium Friday and Saturday with 2014 Drake Relays medals. Two relay teams broke school records running on the blue track at Drake Sta-

dium.

Ly nnville-S ull y senior Meliek Meyer came to Friday morning’s qualifying session on a mission.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Meliek Meyer (3969), Lynnville-Sully senior, battles with Bryson Runge (3780) of Iowa City City High School during their 100-meter dash preliminary race Friday at the 2014 Drake Relays. The two battled again in the final, both running 10.84, with Meyer taking third and Runge second.

“What an adrenaline rush,” Harris said after the 110-meter hurdle final.

“This is awesome. I’ve got goose bumps.

“My start was weak in both the final and the heat race. I felt really good in the heat race after the bad start I came on strong.”

Harris said he wants to qualify next year and place better.

“Qualify for state and place at state,” Harris said are the next goals for this season.

Also on Friday, Harris combined with juniors Jarom Williams, J.T. Thongvanh and senior Earl Kimmel for the Cardinal boys’ 4x100-meter relay team. The boys posted a time of 45.67 seconds, just a little more than their best time of the season, finishing 74th in the preliminary races. They did not advance to Saturday’s final.

Newton’s girls combined for their fastest time of the season, 52.17 seconds, in the 4x100-meter relay preliminary races Friday evening. The foursome of senior Kacy Cazett, sophomore Sydney Jenkins, senior Amber Karsten and junior Leela Spencer did not advance to the finals, finishing 62nd.

The Cardinal girls’ 4x200-meter relay team of Jenkins, sophomore Alex Hutchinson, Spencer and Karsten ran a fraction slower than their season’s best in the event final Friday afternoon. They ran the race in 1 minute, 48.73 seconds, finishing 22nd.

Grace Coen, sophomore, ran her best time of the season in the high school girls’ 800-meter race, 2:17.81, placing 13th. She returned to Drake Stadium Saturday for the 1,500-meter race, and was 14th in 4:49.06.

the “blue” a year ago in the high school boys’ 100-meter dash preliminaries.

He came up .04 of a second from making the finals.

Meyer left nothing to chance, running second in his heat at 11.14 seconds.

His Hawk classmate, Bailey Samson, and Col lins-Maxwel l/ Baxter senior Bryce Kemp were in the second heat, running fifth (11.50) and seventh (11.63). Neither moved on into the finals.

“I knew I was going to qualify, so I brought it down a bit at the end of the heat race. To qualify for the final after last year’s disappointment was tremendous,” Meyer said. “I went into the final thinking ‘just go get it.’”

Mustangs lose to Chariton

By Mike Mendenhall Daily News Staff Writer MONROE — A strong effort in the first half was not enough for the Prairie City-Monroe boy’s soccer team to fend of Chariton Thursday night in a 3-2 loss.

The Mustangs controlled the first half of play, with goals by Devin Herndon and Ryan Donahue.

Head coach Darrin Telfer said “the ball seemed to bounce” the Chargers’ way in the second half.

“We played hard, played together, but in the end came up just short,” said Telfer. “A few mistakes here and there, but I can’t complain. The effort and attitude is great.”

The Mustangs were up 2-0 at the half, but Chariton appeared to find all the opportunities in the final four minutes of the game, scoring three unanswered goals.

“We need to bounce back, and come back strong next week, Telfer said. “We have two tough opponents in Gilbert and Albia.”

Thursday’s loss puts the Mustangs at 0-4 overall on the season, but with all close losses, Telfer said he feels like the team is moving in the right direction.

The Mustang boys travel to Gilbert for a 5:30 p.m. game Tuesday at a 5:30 p.m. PCM plays at home Friday against Albia in Monroe.

Owner-scandal hits Clippers in playoffs OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Stephen Curry made a career playoff-high seven 3-pointers and scored 33 points, leading the Golden State Warriors past the Los Angeles 118-97 on Sunday to even a first-round series that has been pulled into a race-related scandal involving the Clippers’ owner.

Clippers players made a silent protest against Donald Sterling by shedding their warm-up jerseys and going through pregame routine with their red shirts on inside out.

They also wore black bands on their wrists or arms and black socks in a show of solidarity.

Astrograph Monday, April 28, 2014

Sometimes stick-to-itness is called stubbornness, and other times it’s called determination. Much depends on who benefits from the immobile attitude. The solar eclipse and the new moon in Taurus put tenacity on tap, and successful people will apply it to a focus that helps many.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 28). Give your imagination a regular and disciplined workout, because this year will often be as you imagine it. Spoil yourself over the next five weeks.

You’ll need to be relaxed and in good form for the opportunity that comes in June. Friends help you make more money in July. New relationships thrive in August.

Libra and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 4, 33, 19 and 27.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You see, recognize and accept the way things are. You may not like things the way they are, but your willingness to be present with them

anyway speaks to your inner fortitude.

intellectual knowledge at the end of the day.

rockin’ spirit of escapism.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Though you are educated enough on a subject to be considered an expert, you’ll happily be stymied by today’s puzzle. You’ll take comfort in the fact that there is still much to learn.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When you’re not sure how much luck you’ll have at your disposal (and who could ever be sure about that?), diligence and confidence will stand in as able substitutes.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You can try to impose a structure on emotional chaos, or you can just let it be chaotic for a time, and the emotions eventually will settle themselves into more manageable feelings.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Someone you’re interested in is becoming more and more interested in you with time.

The door isn’t standing wide open, but it’s ajar.

This is your day to walk through.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Your first idea will be to kindly, politely get your way. Your next idea (and the next and the one after that) still will involve getting your way. You will have many, many ideas before you consider a compromise.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Handle problems as they occur. If you have to kick the problem to a higher authority, the full reality of the situation will be lost. It’s better to have a partial solution in the moment than a full solution never.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). For now, stop thinking big so you can focus small. In order to build on minor successes and turn them into larger ones, you must first create those minor successes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). You have a healthy, thriving inner life. While the time you spend on hypotheticals isn’t exactly a waste, practical knowledge will trump

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The songs about getting out of this town are usually rock songs. You’ll consider the idea, even if it’s a bad one for you, and will have fun reveling in the

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Multitasking doesn’t really work for the vast majority of people, and even if it did work, it doesn’t look as cool as doing one thing really well and with full attention.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Even seemingly immutable circumstances can be changed when you have the right attitude, and boy, do you have it. You’ll be filled with belief enough for several people.
