Local services increasing for sexual assault victims

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Treatment of sexual assault victims is on the rise in Jasper County.

Not only are more services becoming more available to people who might be victims of assaults, but also more or those services are being sought out by the public. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month — coordinated largely by the National Sexual Violence Resource Center — and Jasper County service providers are seeing some alarming trends.

Skiff Medical Center’s Emergency Director Heather Clayton said her department has already completed about 15 evidence collection kits so far in 2015,

compared to about seven in all of 2014. Cassie Cumings-Peterson, the volunteer coordinator for Crisis Intervention Services, said her agency has already served three times as many Jasper County clients in the first 10 months of fiscal 2015 than it did in the previous 12 months.

Involvement from the medical community Jessica Lowe, executive director of the United Way of Jasper County, said CIS, which also has an office located at the United Way’s building in Newton, is funded by her organization.

The United Way also funds the Jasper County Council for Prevention of Child Abuse, and recently began funding Skiff

Medical Center’s Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner training.

“Skiff is working diligently to have 24/7 coverage of a specially trained nurse to help with the process of examining a victim, providing support and reaching out to CIS advocates, working to collect evidence and assisting law enforcement,” Lowe said. “(These programs) are wonderful advocates for our community.

They both serve as advocates for someone who has been assaulted, as well as provide education and training to law enforcement as they deal with assaults and victims.”

Clayton said the SANE training will allow a registered nurse AWARENESS | 8A

Woodrow Wilson personnel show off hardware, soft-serve Chromebook use for quizzes, tests demonstrated

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When teachers from Woodrow Wilson Elementary School made presentations to the Newton Community School District board of education Monday, they served up information about their most unique programs.

Later, they served up ice cream.

The board travels to different elementary campuses for its regular meetings throughout the spring semester of the school year. Monday night, it was Woodrow

Wilson’s turn, and principal Todd Schuster and other Woodrow Wilson staff members focused on use of technology in the classroom, its “State Fair” event, and online quizzes and tests.

Fifth-grade teachers Andrea Luetje and Matt Oleson showed the board one of the ways Woodrow Wilson’s Google Chromebook tablet computers are used in a classroom setting.

Chromebooks were handed out to each member of the board and to the administrators at the front table, and Luetje and Oleson had the staff answer a multiple-choice online quiz using a program called “Kahootz.” The drill featured three nowrong-answer playful CHROMEBOOK | 3A

Jury trial set for Expanded military exhibit new sex abuse case at Jasper County Museum

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News

A Sioux City man accused of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old Newton girl is scheduled for an August jury trial after he was denied a motion to move the case to juv enile Delk court.

Bradly Delk, 19, was charged with third-degree sexual assault Aug. 13, 2014 following a Newton Police Department investigation.

According to court records, the victim said Delk sexually assaulted her at her home in September

2013 while he was staying the night. The victim said Delk entered her room and said he wanted to have sex with her, to which she said “no.” When he came back into the victim’s room a second time he sexually assaulted the girl, according the court document.

A district court judge declined a motion to send the case to juvenile court. On Monday, Delk entered a not guilty plea.

Third-degree sexual assault is a Class C felony and is punishable up to 10 years in prison with a $10,000 fine.

A pretrial conference is scheduled on Aug. 10 with the jury trial set for Aug. 28.

Listeria concerns spark Hy-Vee recall of pasta WEST DES MOINES (AP) — Hy-Vee Inc. says it is recalling HyVee Summer Fresh Pasta because of a potential listeria contamination.

The West Des Moines-based grocer said Tuesday that the company has learned that frozen vegetables in

the salad could be contaminated with the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes.

The company sold the salad from April 9 to April 27. Hy-Vee has pulled the salad from stores in Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri,

Nebraska and South Dakota.

Hy-Vee says people who bought the pasta salad between those dates should dispose of it or return it for a refund.

The company says there are no known listeria infections linked to

the recall.

Listeria generally only affects the elderly, people with compromised immune systems and pregnant women. It can cause fever, muscle aches, gastrointestinal symptoms and even death.

File Photo According to the American College of Allergy, Ashma & Immunology, approximately 50 million people in the United States are affected by allergies. Along with medication, remedies help alleviate symptoms.

Natural ways to overcome seasonal allergies Newton Daily News The arrival of warmer weather changes the landscape completely. Animals come out of hiding and hibernation while trees and flowers bloom anew.

The spring season can be an exciting time for naturalists and lovers of the great outdoors because they can immerse themselves in the sights, sounds and smells of nature. But for many people, spring also marks the start of allergy season and spending time outdoors can become downright uncomfortable for them.

The American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology says nasal allergies affect approximately 50 million people in the United States. Allergic diseases, including asthma, are the fifth most prevalent chronic diseases among people of all ages and the third most common in children.

Allergic rhinitis, or hay fever, can occur in spring, summer and/or early fall. People who experience hay fever often can attribute their symptoms to sensitivity to pollens from trees,

grasses, weeds, or airborne mold spores.

No two allergy sufferers are alike, so medications that may work for one person may be only mildly effective for another. Many medications can cause side effects, which may be just as frustrating as the initial allergy symptoms. Treatments may target sneezing and itching but fail to clear up congestion. Drowsiness, dry mouth and nasal irritation may be side effects of common allergy drugs.

People who want to avoid allergy medication can look to natural remedies to alleviate their symptoms.

Whether used alone or in concert with traditional medicine, these remedies may make spending time outdoors more pleasant.

Try probiotics Probiotics, those friendly bacteria that reside in the digestive system, can do more than just treat an upset stomach. Naturopathic doctors say that probiotics also can influence the immune system and may help strengthen its response to common aller-

gens. Since probiotics are good for replenishing healthy bacteria in the body anyway, many people may want to keep taking them once their allergy symptoms have come and gone.

Use neti pots or saline sprays A small amount of saltwater can rinse away allergens, such as pollen, that get lodged in the nose. These rinses also can help clear up congestion and flush out any other irritants.

Load up on omega-3s A German study published in the journal Allergy found that participants who ate foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids were less likely to suffer allergy symptoms than those who didn’t regularly eat these foods. Omega-3s can help fight inflammation. Drinking more fluids and using spices in cooking can help flush out allergens as well.

Don’t forget vitamin C Vitamin C is an immune-system booster and may help prevent the formation of histamine in the body, a substance responsible for many allergy symptoms.

Rughooking workshop

Chromebook Continued from Page 1A

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Crafters from many parts of the U.S. have converged on Newton this week for one of the Rug Hooking Teachers Workshop. Artists traveled to Newton from as far away as Oregon. Nancy Gingrich, shown here, lives in Clarence, Mo. While the main workshop takes place through Friday at the Newton AmericInn hotel, some artists had their recently completed work on display Wednesday afternoon at the Newton Public Library.

Museum

Continued from Page 1A There are now displays for each war along with additional artifacts from local Jasper County residents. A display area is dedicated to Maytag’s efforts during World War II along with several other local companies contribution to the war.

“We try to get things that are from the county or related to somebody from the county,” Barthelman said.

Another new feature is a video display showing a movie of how mid-century Maytag washer and dryers were made along with their use. The video goes hand in hand with the vast amount of Maytag history that is on display in the museum.

In the barn portion of the museum, a

new exhibit featuring the recently torn down Newton Seed Store is currently in production with the awning hanging and several stones from the Frank T. Campbell House that was located inside of the building on display. Additional beams from the house will be placed in the display along with informational text about the history of the Seed Store and Campbell House.

Barthelman plans for the exhibit to be complete in mid-June.

Also in the barn, is a display on the history of wind energy in the county. In the 1940s and ‘50s, the Light Company had the idea to hook up gages to farms to harvest the wind energy but right when it was set to roll out, the government started the rural electrification program and the Light Company moved on to other ventures.

“I like it (the windmill) because the design is so similar to what they do today and that was in the ‘40s,” Barthelman said.

A new feature in the works for the museum is self-guided tours, along with a new security system. A big advantage of letting people explore on their own is the ability to focus on areas they are more interested in, Barthelman said.

“We are working toward self-guided tours throughout the museum. So, if you have an hour you can come and see whatever you want as opposed to taking an hour and a half on a tour with a group,” Barthelman said. “We’re waiting on a grant so that we can put some type of gates on the display, so people can feel free to still stroll around and yet we’ll feel comfortable about the artifacts.”

Self-guided tours are not available yet, but hopefully by the end of the season the museum can begin testing them, with a full rollout next year.

Extending into the season this year are Brown Bag Lunch and Learns the second Wednesday of every month. Originally, only during the off-season, Barthelman said the monthly event will continue during the summer as well with the next presentation on May 13.

The museum is open daily from 1 to 4 p.m. beginning Friday through Sept. 30. Adult admission is $5, student admission is $3 and those 5 and younger get in free. Historical society members also get in free.

questions, with the board meant to “compete” by attempting to answer the quickest, and earn points.

The questions were facetious, and included “Which school is the best — University of Iowa, Iowa State University, Northern Iowa University or Drake?”and “Which is your favorite elementary school?” The recap of the “State Fair” event included a description of school board member, Robyn Friedman “won” the points competition.

The school’s “State Fair” event was held in March, and allowed students to put together a display project covering attributes of one of the 50 U.S. states. Woodrow Wilson Elementary staff discussed difficulties in inviting only parents of one particular grade level to come view their children’s projects, as the parents were brought in to view the projects at specific times.

Fifth-grade teachers Doug Smith and Dawn Lucas discussed online testing. Chromebooks are used, with essay questions included.

“It’s a great lesson for students in slowing down and making sure they’ve read everything completely,” Lucas said. “We can manually add scores to the essay question.”

Smith said many tests call for text-based evidence, so the Chromebooks allow students to clearly indicate their responses. Friedman asked how long students take to finish tests, and Lucas said most students finish within an allotted 45-minute time frame.

Schuster said the Chromebooks can also be used to teach a lesson by remote. He described sixth grade teacher Ann Rankin’s interaction with a class from a remote location.

The board will meet for the second time in as many weeks when it holds a regular meeting Monday at 6:30 p.m. in the Emerson Hough building conference room.

Tromping in the woods, garlic mustard and morels

By Joe Wilkinson Iowa Department of Natural Resources Spring morel hunters would be doing their favorite woodland a favor by packing along a big garbage bag, to ... to load up with garlic mustard plants before they set their seeds.

Morels are being found now; and should really be popping with the string of 60-plus degree days ahead. In an ideal spring — and who has those anymore — a string of days in the ‘70s is suffi-

cient to warm soil temperatures, to spur morel development.

Last week’s cool down probably slowed things a little; but warm air hitting afternoon sun-facing slopes — especially near dead elms and other trees — should prod the fabulous fungi to pop from the soil.

It’s also good for garlic mustard. Which isn’t good for Iowa’s woods and the critters that live there.

“It is a really noxious, invasive species. It overtakes the native

flora; so it really out competes everything else on the forest floor, for sunlight,” said Lake Macbride State Park manger Ron Puettmann. “We’ve been battling garlic mustard here for the better part of 15 years.”

Puettmann went through a short introduction to garlic mustard with a group of Solon ninth graders a few days ago.

The primary lesson, though; how to remove it. “Wiggle it a little. A lot of times the root will go off at an angle. If you just pull

it off, it will break off. Kind of wiggle them out of the ground.”

Rain over the past couple weeks had loosened the soil in the park, so that the dark green plants came out rather easily, as the students slowly moved along the wooded slope. And the seeds had not developed yet.

The window of time to ‘de-mustard’ an area is narrow. Once the seeds are set — thousands per plant — you would just be planting the next generation, as you pulled the parent stem out

of the ground.

“It’s an invasive species.

None of the wildlife wants to eat it, so it just spreads through the park and then nothing else can grow,” said freshman Brianna Smith, as she shoved some more mustard into the big garbage bag. This group and several others, picking up litter, were in the park as a community service.

Classmates had spread throughout the community, getting yard work and other services done for neighbors.

Tastes like summertime

By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | April 30, 2015

The taste of a Dairy Zone chocolate malt — in my opinion — has no rival. The ice cream shop in the little wooden hut across the street from the large dairy cow statues of Anderson-Erickson is a mandatory summertime stop if you are an Eastsider. As a kid and teenager growing up in the blue collar neighborhoods of Des Moines, I was happy to oblige.

I don’t know the Dairy Zone recipe for the tasty treat, there might not be a big difference in its chocolate to malt mix ratio from other mom and pop frozen desserts, but to me there is

nothing like it. The malt flavor is rich but does not overwhelm the chocolate. The drink is thick and seems to never end as it’s sipped through a straw.

After a full day at Teachout swimming pool, the Dairy Zone malt was a tradition which capped off every trip. Still wearing our swimming trunks, hair wet from the water and draped in a towel, my brothers and I loved crowding the window — barley able to see the counter to order from the East High School student dishing soft-serve on summer vacation. As a teen, it was cool to climb into my 1974

Ford Torino with friends and cruise through the drive-thru to get a cone, cheese curds basket or Dairy Zone’s version of the Dairy Queen Blizzard — the Tornado.

No matter my age, I’ll always feel at home when I see the shop’s plaster ice cream cone-character smiling and waving people into the tiny parking lot packed with cars on a hot summer night.

My girlfriend and I have taken our Dairy Zone malts — she opts for the blueberry shake — on strolls through the Iowa State Fair Grounds. The cold drinks sweeten the sights of workers preparing for August

or the new sprouts in the ISU Discovery Garden.

Newtonian’s have had Cardinal Corner since 1956, those in Colfax can walk down to Weirick’s Pharmacy after school to visit the malt makers and soda jerks. In Monroe, it’s Jersey Freeze, and Prairie City it’s Goldie’s. I love the history each ice cream haunt brings to its town. But for me, the Dairy Zone chocolate malt will always bring me back to Eastside in the summertime.

Political tactics reminiscent of ‘Dukes of Hazzard’

Rep. Dan Kelley Newton I appreciate the opportunity to respond to some Jasper County Courthouse officials and the Mayor of Baxter.

When I recently discussed misuse of gas tax money in Clinton County, strangely, several courthouse officials and the Mayor of Baxter became defensive, as though they’d been caught with their hands in the cookie jar. Why? I stand behind my vote against the gas tax hike and comments in opposition to misuse of these funds. I have always put Jasper County’s citizens first, and I al-

Worthy Wage Day for child care is May 1 Barbara Merrill Des Moines The committed individuals who nurture and teach the nearly 70 percent of Iowa’s young children who are cared for outside of their home every day continue to be undervalued despite the importance of their work. The grossly inadequate level of wages for child care staff — roughly $18,180 a year for full time work, and typically less than that in rural Iowa — has led to difficulties in attracting and retaining high quality early childhood caregivers and educators. The turnover of childcare providers is typically around 30 percent a year; this high rate interrupting consistent relationships that children need to have with their caregivers in order to flourish. Since 1987, child care providers and other early childhood professionals nationwide recognize Worthy Wage Day on May 1, raising public awareness to highlight the importance of child care provider compensation

ways will.

Senator Allen also voted “no” on the gas tax hike. We are in agreement.

You’ve elected me to the statehouse three times because you know I work hard for you.

I believe in an Iowa and Jasper County where Democrats, Republicans and Independents work together for strong schools, quality job and safe communities.

Recent bullying tactics coming out of the courthouse remind me of the ‘80s TV show, “The Dukes of Hazzard.”

While Jasper is not Hazzard County, and I am not Bo or Luke Duke, we certainly don’t need a Boss Hogg running the show.

Of all the attacks they’ve

made, only one has any merit.

I mistakenly sent a letter to the Mayor of Baxter which was addressed “Newton.” It was on my statehouse letterhead, which is not paid for at taxpayers’ expense. I failed to catch a typo.

Mr. Mayor, I humbly apologize. It won’t happen again.

I have much work to do at the Capitol before the end of the legislative session. I’ll continue to fight for adequate school funding, a balanced state-budget, quality local jobs, and a healthy environment. I won’t be distracted by good ole’ boy bullies at the courthouse. I know you won’t either.

If you have any comments or questions, feel free to contact me at home, 641-521-9260 or at dan.kelley@legis.iowa.gov.

as part of quality early childhood education.

The 2015 Institute of Medicine Report, released in April, recommends higher education for everyone providing education or child care for children ages birth to age 8. http://www.iom.edu/ Reports/2015/Birth-To-Eight. aspx The 2010 Iowa Center and Family Child Care Provider Wage Study found the average hourly wage for a teacher in a licensed child care program to be $9.96 per hour, barely over $20,000 per year. Assistant teachers and child care providers who provide care in their homes earn even less, between $8,000-18,000 per year for full-time work. When compared to other occupations on the OES Wage Survey from the Iowa Workforce Development, only fast food cooks/cashiers typically earn less than your child’s teacher or caregiver. Even animal caretakers and parking lot attendants average more per hour than those who provide early care and education services. Those responsible for the care of our most precious possessions, our youngest chil-

dren, are earning poverty-level wages that typically do not allow adequate support for their own families. We say we value our young children. Do we appropriately compensate those who spend 8-12 hours a day caring for this future workforce, our children and our grandchildren?

The Iowa Association for the Education of Young Children is implementing a project to impact the compensation of the child care workforce. Child Care WAGE$ is a nation-wide project available in Iowa since August 2013. With appropriate support from foundations and public funding partners, eligible child care teachers and providers can be provided a stipend through Iowa AEYC, annually worth up to $3,500, dependent on their level of education. Iowa AEYC is a professional association with 1200 members across the state, and is the home for T.E.A.C.H. Early Childhood IOWA. Do something special on Child Care Worthy Wage Day to honor your child’s caregiver. A compensation bonus would be a nice start!

A naturally competitive person, Michael and his father raced go-carts all over the Midwest. In high school, Michael knew he wanted to be in the trades.

Upon graduation, he enrolled in NE Community College and received an AA Degree in Science as an Industrial Electrician. He came home to Fort Madison and went to work for a large electrical firm. At the age of 21, Michael had his Master Electrician’s License.

When the firm he worked for pulled out of SE Iowa, Michael seized the opportunity to start his own business. In 2006 he started Mohrfeld Electric. He wanted to do more than residential work, he wanted the big stuff, the commercial buildings, the hospitals, the industries, the restaurants. It was the start of the recession.

Margins were tight, but Michael didn’t know any different. M o h r feld Electric now employs 40 to 50 electricians.

Michael had been hearing that Fort Madison needed new housing, but nobody wanted to take the risk. He was young enough and dumb enough to do just that. V o i l a , Green Oak Development.

Michael Mohrfeld is the developer, which means he takes on all the infrastruc-

ture expenses like water, sewer, storm sewer, and paving. Mohrfeld Electric oversees the construction of the homes, making sure everything flows together.

They start on b o t h ends of the street and work their way to the center.

It’s very methodical.

The homes are high quality, energy-efficient homes, with full basements, R-23 insulation, and LED and solar options. Reducing the homes’ carbon footprint is very important to Michael.

At 33, another passion of Michael’s is cleaning up the corridor, or the main drag through Fort Madison. There are a lot of dilapidated properties.

It’s one thing when it’s out of sight and out of mind, but when it’s right there for the public to see, it’s embarrassing. A member of the Lee County Board of Economic Development, Michael both buys and fixes up old properties, and encourages other owners and the city, through forward-thinking plans, to do the same.

Michael is not a committee, or a sit-on-your-hands type of guy.

Like his father, he goes out and gets the job done. H e ’ s also working with the city to help make their parks more energy efficient.

His wife, Jillian, is the Main Street Director in Fort Madison. With a degree in Marketing from Western Illinois University, she takes care of all Mohrfeld Electric’s marketing, including their Facebook page, which is where they get most of their traction and attention. She’s created all of the marketing pieces and is a very key player in how to market homes.

Michael credits his success to the great people he has surrounding him. He wants his associates to take ownership in the projects they are working on, to treat their work as if it’s their own business. He’s a firm believer in, “if you put good people on the ground, you’ll get good results.”

What’s in the future for Michael Mohrfeld?

In two years he’ll be done with Green Oak Development.

He may just need another development to work on.

Life of contentment doesn’t seem normal by comparison DEAR ABBY: I’m 45, employed and earning plenty of money. I’m in a great relationship, my kids and grandkids are healthy and happy, and my parents are alive and well. I enjoy the small things in life, fishing, reading, the beach, mini vacations, bowling, etc.

I raise funds to feed the homeless.

So what’s my problem, you ask?

Abby, I’m not really sure what my purpose is in life or if the way my life is, is normal. I feel content — even happy at times — but I’m troubled because it seems a lot of people do the exact opposite of what I am doing and they all have a purpose. Some of them are going to school, raising kids, having relationship problems, money issues, etc. They seem to be doing so much, and I feel like I’m doing so little.

What is normal for my age? Should I be doing more? Most times I feel happy, but on a day like today I feel unfulfilled. Do I need to do more? — WHAT IS NORMAL? DEAR WHAT: Doing so little?

Count your blessings! You hold a job, have a family I presume you regularly interact with, have a great relationship, hobbies you enjoy and contribute to those who have less than you. I would say you are productive and successful.

However, if YOU think you need to do more, then it’s possible you do.

Take some time, decide what it is and reallocate your time if you feel you need something more to fulfill you.

But please stop measuring yourself by anyone else’s yardstick because people who do that are rarely happy.

DEAR ABBY: I fell in love with “Alex” during my last year of college.

We had known each other for 18 months. One month before our wedding, he broke up with me. He says I was verbally abusive.

I admit I had anger issues. I had to plan most of the wedding alone because we were four hours apart. When we argued, he would say one thing

and then something different later. He would also tell his mom stuff about me and our relationship that I considered private. After the breakup, I found out he had lied to me about his religion.

I had a hard time with the breakup.

I tried hard to reconcile or find solutions, but he rejected all of them. Now he’s blaming me and throwing things in my face.

I am heartbroken and depressed. I don’t know if I should be mad at him for the lies and the heartache he has caused me, or mad at myself for messing up. I have lost my confidence and self-esteem. What do I do? — STILL IN LOVE DEAR STILL IN LOVE: Take off the rose-colored glasses for a moment and consider what the reality of a marriage to Alex would have been like.

You would have had a mama’s boy for a husband, one you couldn’t count on to tell the truth and who blamed you for anything that went wrong.

Don’t you realize you dodged a bullet? If things had turned out differently, you’d be writing me as an unhappy wife, probably with children to support.

Let it go, get help for your anger issues and don’t waste more time brooding. There are times it is better that we don’t get the things we wish for, and this may be one of them.

DUBUQUE — Dubuque-area Crime Stoppers have teamed up with members of a church committee to launch a fundraising campaign to assist investigators in securing new leads in several unsolved cases. Members of the Social Justice Committee of St. Raphael Cathedral and St. Patrick Church and local Crime Stoppers announced Tuesday that they hope to raise more than $10,000 to build a reward fund for investigation tips. Dubuque Police Lt. Scott Baxter said investigators are very close to solving several lingering cases.

4 more farms considered probable bird flu cases DES MOINES — State agriculture officials say the deadly bird flu virus is suspected on two more Iowa chicken farms and two more turkey operations.

Officials say initial tests indicate the virus on two turkey farms in Buena Vista County. One has 50,000 birds and the count on the other farm is still pending. A chicken farm in that county with 63,000 laying hens also tested positive.

WATERLOO — Authorities say a Cedar Falls City Council candidate and a youth football coach were among several arrests made following a prostitution investigation in Waterloo.

Police conducted an operation at a local hotel Tuesday, resulting in the arrests of 11 people, including 29-year-old Travis Biggs, who announced his candidacy for the Cedar Falls City Council last month.

The Waterloo Police Department says a total of three women, seven men and one juvenile were arrested. All are from Iowa.

The DNR on Wednesday confirmed a second, separate report of ammonia traced to a Red Oak hog confinement.

Woman must pay back Girl Scout troop theft OSAGE — A judge in Mitchell County has ordered a 38-year-old Osage woman to pay back the more than $1,400 she stole from her Girl Scout troop. Jennifer Nilges was sentenced earlier this month for theft.

In addition to the order for restitution, Nilges was fined $625 and sentenced to 10 days in jail. She was given credit for time already served. Nilges pleaded guilty after prosecutors lowered the charge and dropped another.

Four writers to install new writing in 12 Iowa libraries Newton Daily News This May, writers attending Grin City Collective Artist & Writers Residency will install brand-new public art — works of fiction, nonfiction and poetry — in the windows of 12 Iowa libraries.

The four authors, Pauliina Haasjoki (Helsinki, Finland), Kevin Haworth (Athens, Ohio), Molly Rideout (Grinnell) and Purvi Shah (Brooklyn, N.Y.), worked closely with library staff to select theme, subject and genre for the work to be installed. Participating libraries include Knoxville, Pella, Newton, Marshalltown, Tama, Toledo, Cedar Falls, Waterloo, Coralville and Cedar Rapids Public Libraries, North Liber-

ty Community Library, and Burling Library at Grinnell College. They join Drake Community Library, which piloted the “Public Writing, Public Libraries” project last year.

With their broad range of genres, styles and cultural backgrounds, each author took a different approach to their three partnered libraries. Pella, Knoxville and Waterloo Public Libraries, partnering with Pauliina Haasjoki, whose poetry has been translated into seven different languages, will enjoy poems in both English and her native Finnish. Haasjoki, who has published several books of poetry, developed her poems during her travels in Australia and Iowa.

Kevin Haworth, au-

thor of the Samuel Goldberg Foundation Prize-winning novel “The Discontinuity of Small Things,” selected excerpts from his forthcoming personal essay, “Vivaldi,” which he wrote last spring at Grin City Collective. The full essay follows three narratives: the story of Haworth’s time living in Jerusalem, his young son’s journey learning to play the cello, and the history of Jewish musicians conscripted into the Auschwitz orchestra. Library patrons are invited to travel between North liberty, Coralville and Tama to view pieces of the story.

Purvi Shah’s poetry will speak directly to each of her partnered communities. The winner of the SONY South Asian Social Service

Excellence Award will meet with community members and library staff before composing unique poems for Cedar Falls and Marshalltown Public Libraries and Grinnell College.

To better reach Marshalltown’s diverse community, that library’s poem will be installed in English, Spanish and Burmese. Poetry’s accessibility is very important to Shah, who immigrated to America from India as a child.

Newton, Toledo and Cedar Rapids will enjoy micro-fiction and personal essays by Grin City Collective’s co-director, writer Molly Rideout.

Rather than selecting excerpts from a larger piece, Rideout chose short, original, unpublished stories for each community to enjoy in

Senate OKs higher education budget; GOP backs less spending The Associated Press DES MOINES — The Democratic-majority Senate approved a series of spending bills Wednesday, including a plan that would provide m o r e money for high- Schoenjahn er education than the Republican-controlled House wants.

In a 26-24 vote, the Senate backed an education budget bill that would spend about $1 billion on state universities, community colleges and other programs, including early childhood education. GOP Gov. Terry Branstad has proposed a similar spending level.

Sen. Brian Schoenjahn, an Arlington Democrat, says the funding would support a third year of public university tuition freezes, which he said was important for Iowa families.

“I’ve heard time and

time again about the crushing student debt that we have out there,” Schoenjahn said.

The Senate bill allocates about $48 million more than House Republicans say they want to spend. House Speaker Kraig Paulsen, a Republican from Hiawatha, contends schools could still freeze tuition if it were a priority.

The Board of Regents released a statement after the Senate vote, thanking them. Board President Bruce Rastetter said in the statement that the funding would guarantee

the tuition freeze.

The bill now moves to the House, and lawmakers will have to work to find a middle ground.

By midweek, most budget bills had started moving through the Legislature. Lawmakers have been at odds over spending levels, with House Republicans seeking lower spending than Branstad or Senate Democrats.

Friday is the final day lawmakers will receive daily expense payments, but it does not appear the budget will be resolved by then.

their entirety.

Each of these authors will read from their work and talk about their careers and process in May’s “Public Writing, Public Libraries” reading series.

Molly Rideout will read 6:30 p.m., May 11 at Newton Public Library.

Purvi Shah will read 9 p.m., May 11 at Grinnell College’s Burling Library and 2 p.m. at Marshalltown Public Library.

“Public Writing, Public Libraries” is a program of Grin City Collective Artist & Writers Residency. Hosting more than 45 visiting artists and writers each year, Grin City provides artists with time, space and the tools they need to make creative work with a direct impact on Iowa.

“The talent of our vis-

iting artists have a direct impact on our community. We support the inception of over 50 artist projects a year,” Rideout said. “Select projects, like ‘Public Writing, Public Libraries,’ have a lasting effect for Iowa. Then our visiting artists and writers return home to New York or Montana or Perth, Australia and continue building community with their work.

The impact is global, but it starts right here.”

All literary art installations will be available for public enjoyment by the end of May and will remain for the next one to four years. Those wishing to visit all participating libraries can purchase the final booklet highlighting each location and its partnering writer. Booklets will be available in July.

ARE YOU AN ADULT WHO HAS BEEN SEXUALLY ASSAULTED?

Continued from Page 1A to execute an extensive collection process that otherwise must be performed by a medical doctor. With about four hours to complete the procedure, committing an emergency-room doctor to that process is not the same strain on resources as having a nurse complete it.

“For victims who come into the ER, there emotional needs are not always met,” Clayton said. “SANE is a compassionate approach that maintains the chain of (evidence) custody in a much better way.”

Clayton said Skiff sent two employees to SANE training in Council Bluffs several months ago, and is sending two nurses to the 40-hour training in Iowa City in early June, thanks to funding from The United Way. She detailed a list of steps the Skiff ER follows when a patient says they’ve been sexually assaulted, which includes calling in an advocate, locating a SANE-trained nurse and collecting visual and DNA evidence.

Here are some people who can help.

• Iowa Sexual Abuse Hotline 1-800-2847821 • Crisis Intervention Services: 800-2701620 (sexual assault); 844-673-5499 (housing) • Iowa Legal Aid, 800-532-1275, www.iowalegalaid.org • Sexual Assault Center (Victim Advocacy), 641-791-3446 or 800-779-3512 • Skiff Medical Center, 641-787-9133, www.skiffmed.com

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Skiff Medical Center recently received funding from The United Way to send personnel to Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner training.

“One important thing to note is that at any point during the visit, the patient may decide to proceed or stop with any step of the process,” Clayton said. “One important right that they have is the right to choose what is happening to their body.”

Lowe said she’s seen regular reminders of how sexual assault is a real problem in cenNEWTON POLICE tral Iowa in 2015.

DEPARTMENT — “When I called SEXUAL ASSAULT to get information ARRESTS (for this story), they were in with a 2013 client at that time Adult arrests: 2 — which means Felony counts: 1 they were assisting Aggravated misdemeanor someone who had counts: 1 been assaulted,” Referred to juvenile court: 2 Lowe said. “It is sad (One felony charge; two and overwhelming serious misdemeanors) to know how often this is really hap2014 pening.”

Adult arrests: 3 Felony counts: 2 When, how should Serious Misdemeanors: 1 sexual assaults be Referred to juvenile court: 0 reported?

CIS has an office

located in United Way of Jasper County’s building in Newton. Cumings-Patterson said that if a victim tells someone close to them about an assault, it’s important to be supportive.

“There is no right or wrong way to reach out after a sexual assault,” Cumings-Peterson said.

“Many individuals first confide in a friend or family member. If you are that person, the most important thing you can do is to believe them. If a victim is not believed the first time, she/he reports, it is much more unlikely that she/he will report again.”

CIS has advocates on call, 24 hours, who will assist a victim through the medical examination and in reporting to police.

Cumings-Peterson said services in Jasper County are growing.

“In fiscal year 2014 ( July 1, 2013-June 30, 2014) we served 16 cli-

ents from Jasper County, and in fiscal year 2015 we have served 50 clients in Jasper County. In fiscal year 2014 we provided 61 hours of service to clients in Jasper County, and in FY 2015, we have provided 210 hours of service to sexual assault victims in Jasper County.”

Cumings-Peterson said CIS has also provided a place to stay for more clients this year.

“In fiscal year 2015, we have already increased our shelter nights for sexual assault victims from Jasper County by 32 percent,” she said.

Crime statistics Determining statewide and national assault trends is tough, not only because so many assaults go unreported, but also because some category increases or decreases might not reflect what’s happening with sex crimes in general.

In 1898, Howard Snyder, a rural Austin, Minnesota farm boy accepted an offer from Frederick L. Maytag to start working at the Parsons Band Cutter & Self Feeder Company in Newton, Iowa. This marked the start of Snyder’s inventive career of nearly thirty years culminating in a series of innovations that propelled the Maytag name to the forefront as an iconic brand among washing machine manufacturers. Dr. Tom Hoover has written a book entitled How We Made The Gyrafoam: The Story of Two Midwestern Farm Boys Who Changed Washday Mondays Forever, which is now available for pre-order at the Newton Daily News. The book follows the life of Howard Snyder, raised near Rose Creek, Minnesota, and reveals the role Frederick L. Maytag, a farm boy from Laurel, Iowa, played as his benefactor and friend. Together these two outstanding men led The Maytag Company to the top of the washing machine world in 1926.

Maytag once commented about Snyder that "90% of everything we make or improve upon is because of him." At the time of Snyder's death in 1927, Maytag lamented "I feel that I am losing a companion, my pal and dearest friend that I ever had."

Name:

of “assault with intent to commit sexual abuse, aggravated misdemeanor.” There was also one count of sex abuse — a third-degree felony.

Two juveniles were arrested and referred to juvenile court, with the strongest charge being second-degree felony sex abuse.

In 2014, NPD made three adult arrests for sex assault cases, and no juveniles. One count of second-degree felony sex abuse, one count of third-degree felony sex abuse and one count of indecent exposure — a serious misdemeanor — were the charges in those arrests.

Breckenridge said the police use social media and a variety of educational and awareness tools to let the public know the importance of reporting sexual assaults. He wants victims to feel comfortable reporting these incidents, so that police can assist the victims.

“We need information from victims,” Breckenridge said. “It’s not only critical, in many cases, to keeping accurate statistics and catching perpetrators, but making reports also helps victims gain access to other services.”

4. Improve communication: Make resource and support information easier to find; articulate information on key web pages and in emails.

5. Add funding: Seek every source of dollars to support this plan, including savings from other areas; expand overall resources to address the problem of sexual assault.

6. Listen more and report back: student advisory committee on sexual misconduct formed; is meeting regularly with president of university.

University of Iowa President Sally Mason responded to the sex-assault numbers on her university’s main campus with a comprehensive plan. It echoes the multi-faceted approach taken by many other American leaders.

Division of Criminal & Juvenile Justice Planning, there was only one conviction in the state of first-degree sexual assault in 2012. This might be due partly to the type of charges filed against each person arrested, but it is down from nine convictions in 2011.

Conversely, Class C felony sex abuse convictions rose from 230 in 2011 to 263 the following year.

Reporting sexual assault not only allows victims to get medical treatment and other forms of help, but it also allows police to pursue and track cases and might prevent more attacks from happening.

Newton Police Lt. Wes Breckenridge said he understands the nature of sexual assaults naturally makes victims reluctant to report the crimes to law enforcement.

The Newton Police Department supplied 2013 and 2014 arrest data for this story, but a total of sexual assault reports for 2015 was not yet compiled.

“Personally, I haven’t seen a drastic change in the number of these crimes reported to us over the past few years,” Breckenridge said.

In 2013, the NPD had two adult arrests for sexual assault and one count

Jeb Bush: Give 11 million immigrants chance to stay The Associated Press HOUSTON — Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush declared Wednesday that 11 million immigrants in the country illegally should have an opportunity to stay, wading yet again into his party’s contentious immigrant debate.

In tone and substance, Bush stands out among the many Republicans lining up for the GOP’s next presidential primary, where conservatives who oppose an immigration overhaul often hold outsized influence. As he moves toward a presidential campaign, the brother and son of former presidents has not backed away from his defense of immigrants in the country illegally and a policy that would allow them to attain legal sta-

tus under certain conditions.

“We’re a nation of immigrants,” Bush said at the Na-

tional Christian Hispanic Leadership Conference that brought several hundred His-

panic evangelical leaders to Houston this week. “This is not the time to abandon something that makes us special and unique.”

A successful immigration overhaul is more than simply strengthening the border, Bush said, referring to “11 million people that should come out from the shadows and receive earned legal status.” He said such immigrants should be required to pay taxes, work and not receive government benefits.

Republicans have struggled to win over the nation’s surging Hispanic population in recent years.

Not since the 2004 re-election campaign of President George W. Bush, Jeb’s older brother, has a Republican presidential candidate earned

as much as 40 percent of the Hispanic vote. Mitt Romney earned a dismal 27 percent in losing what was widely considered a winnable 2012 contest.

Bush’s mother and father, former President George.

H.W. Bush and first lady Barbara Bush, were on hand for the speech.

It was Jeb Bush’s second Hispanic outreach event this week. He spent Tuesday campaigning in Puerto Rico, a U.S. territory that will hold a presidential primary contest, yet is not included in the Electoral College that decides the general election.

At both stops, Bush moved seamlessly from English to Spanish in remarks that highlighted his deep personal connections to Hispanic culture.

Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders says he’s running for president The Associated Press

AP Photo Democratic presidential hopeful former Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton speaks at the David N. Dinkins Leadership and Public Policy Forum in New York on Wednesday.

As unrest and arrests grow, Clinton evolves on crime The Associated Press NEW YORK — Hillary Rodham Clinton issued an impassioned call for overhauling an “out of balance” criminal justice system Tuesday, using her first major public policy address as a presidential candidate to reflect on the recent unrest in Baltimore and push for an end to “the era of mass incarceration.”

Speaking at an urban policy forum at Columbia University, Clinton recounted the recent killings of unarmed black men by white police of-

ficers, arguing that the chaos and rioting sparked by their deaths should prompt a national reckoning with longstanding and profound economic and racial inequalities.

“The patterns have become unmistakable and undeniable,” she said. “We have to come to terms with some hard truths about race and justice in America.”

Clinton spoke in the days after violence and protests have swept through the streets of Baltimore following the death of Freddie Gray, a 25-year-old black

man who suffered a spinal-cord injury while in police custody. With her remarks, she joined a bipartisan group of politicians who are rejecting the tough-on-crime policies of the 1980s and 1990s — including those trumpeted as a major achievement by the administration of her husband, Bill.

Nicholas Turner, president of the Vera Institute, a nonprofit focused on crime policy, said the belief in those years that longer sentences would mean more safety is being set aside.

Christie returning to Iowa for Polk County GOP dinner DES MOINES (AP) — Chris Christie is coming to Iowa soon for a trip that will likely include one of his famed town hall meetings.

Samantha Smith, a spokeswoman for Christie’s political action committee, said Wednesday that the Republican New Jersey governor and potential 2016 presidential candidate will be in the leadoff caucus state in June.

He is slated to speak at the Polk County Re-

publicans’ spring dinner.

Smith said the appearance will be part of a longer trip that will likely include a town hall meeting and some other stops. The trip will be Christie’s fifth to Iowa this year. He was last here in early March for a candidate forum and has two paid staffers in the state.

Christie, who is trying to demonstrate that he remains a top 2016 prospect in an increasingly crowded field,

recently did two town hall meetings in the early voting state of New Hampshire. He has held over a hundred such events in New Jersey.

Polk County GOP Chairman Will Rogers said the group — which has hosted other 2016 hopefuls over the past year — is excited to see him.

“He’s no nonsense and I think that appeals to a lot of people out there,” Rogers said.

MONTPELIER, Vt. — Promising to fight what he deems “obscene levels” of income disparity and a campaign finance system that is a “real disgrace,” Sanders independent Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders said Wednesday he will run for president as a Democrat.

In an interview with The Associated Press, Sanders confirmed his plans to formally join the race Thursday.

The self-described “democratic socialist”

enters the race as a robust liberal alternative to Hillary Rodham Clinton, and he pledged to do more than simply raise progressive issues or nudge the former secretary of state to the left in a campaign in which she is heavily favored.

“People should not underestimate me,” Sanders said. “I’ve run outside of the two-party system, defeating Democrats and Republicans, taking on big-money candidates and, you know, I think the message that has resonated in Vermont is a message that can resonate all over this country.”

As he has for months in prospective campaign stops in the early voting states, and throughout his

political career, the former mayor of Burlington, Vermont, on Wednesday assailed an economic system that he said has devolved over the past 40 years and eradicated the nation’s middle class.

“What we have seen is that while the average person is working longer hours for lower wages, we have seen a huge increase in income and wealth inequality, which is now reaching obscene levels,” Sanders told the AP. “This is a rigged economy, which works for the rich and the powerful, and is not working for ordinary Americans. ...

You know, this country just does not belong to a handful of billionaires.”

Vietnam War 40 years on, enemies now friends but still pain The Associated Press HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam — This city once known as Saigon was blanketed in red banners on Thursday that read “Long Live the Glorious Communist Party of Vietnam,” 40 years after northern forces seized control of the country and America walked away from a divisive and bloody war that remains a painful sore.

Thousands of Vietnamese, including war veterans in uniforms heavy with medals, lined up to watch goose-step-

ping soldiers and traditional performers parade through the streets of what is now Ho Chi Minh City.

On April 30, 1975, North Vietnamese tanks rolled into Saigon, then the capital of South Vietnam. They crashed through the gates of the presidential palace and hoisted the communist flag. It was an incredible victory for the revolutionary forces that had waged guerrilla warfare for more than a decade against the better equipped U.S., and before that against the French colonialists.

“The tank crashing the gates ... was a symbol of victory for the Vietnamese nation and the Vietnamese People’s Army, marking the end of the 30 years of national resistance against the French and then the Americans,” said Nguyen Van Tap, 64, who drove Tank 390 through the iron bars and reunited with members of his company Wednesday.

And even after four decades, he said, the winners who fought for the north should be given priority and privileges over those who were branded traitors for sid-

ing with the south.

“For the Vietnamese,” he said, “April 30 is a day of festivities and national reunification.”

For the U.S. and its South Vietnamese allies, the day was one of panic, chaos and defeat known simply as the fall of Saigon.

After the government’s parade and celebratory speeches were over Thursday, a group of former U.S. Marines who helped Americans evacuate Saigon as it fell gathered at the site of the old U.S. Embassy, now the U.S. Consulate, for a

Teen rescued from rubble 5 days after Nepal quake The Associated Press K AT H M A N D U — A long-absent noise — cheers — rang out in Nepal’s capital Thursday as rescuers pulled a teenager alive from the earthquake rubble he had been trapped in for five days.

The joy interrupted a dreary and still fearful day in which thousands worried about aftershocks lined up to board free buses to their rural hometowns.

Hundreds cheered as the 15-year-old, Pemba Tamang, was pulled out of the wreckage, dazed and dusty, and carried away on a stretcher. He had been trapped under the collapsed debris of a seven-story building in Kathmandu since Saturday, when the magnitude-7.8 earthquake struck.

Nepalese rescuers, supported by an American disaster response team, had been working for hours to free him. L.B. Basnet, one of the police officers who

Some 58,000 Americans were killed in the war along with up to 250,000 South Vietnamese allies and an estimated 3 million communist fighters and civilians.

Baltimore officials: No immediate decision in Gray case The Associated Press

helped rescue Tamang, said he was surprisingly responsive.

“He thanked me when I first approached him,” said Basnet. “He told me his name, his address, and I gave him some water. I assured him we were near to him.”

When Tamang was

lifted out, his face was covered in dust, and medics had put an IV drip into his arm. A blue brace had been placed around his neck. He appeared stunned, and his eyes blinked in the sunlight as workers hurriedly carried him away.

He told The Associat-

ed Press he was working in a hotel in the building when it began to shake.

“Suddenly the building fell down,” he said. “I thought I was about to die.”

All he had to eat while he was trapped was some ghee, or clarified butter, he said.

BALTIMORE — Having weathered two all-night curfews with no major disturbances, Baltimore officials are now trying to manage growing expectations they will immediately decide whether to prosecute six police officers involved in the arrest of a black man who later died of injuries he apparently received while in custody.

In an effort to be transparent, authorities have told the community they plan to turn over the findings of a police investigation into Freddie Gray’s death to a state’s attorney by Friday. Gray’s death from a spinal injury a week after his April 12 arrest is what sparked riots Monday — the worst the city has seen since 1968.

Prosecutors will review the information and eventually decide how to move forward, authorities have said.

But protesters on the streets and high school students who met with Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake on Wednesday have said there are rumors circulating that some kind of “verdict” will be rendered as soon as Friday.

“It became very clear ... that people misunderstood,” Rawlings-Blake said.

Both Rawlings-Blake and Baltimore Police Commissioner Anthony Batts spent much of the day Wednesday trying to explain that no final resolution to the case would come Friday.

Hassan Murphy, a lawyer for Gray’s family, underscored their comments, saying, “This family wants justice and they want justice that comes at the right time and not too soon.”

Lynnville-Sully searching for coach after arrest of new hire

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Lynnville-Sully Community School District will hold a special board meeting at 3:30 p.m. Thursday at the high school library to accept the withdraw of Chad Osler of Manchester as junior high school social studies teacher, high school head football coach and head boys’ track coach.

Lynnville-Sully Superintendent Shane Ehresman said the special meeting was

called following notification of Osler’s arrest Monday in Cherokee. Ehresman sent out a notice TuesOsler day to Lynnvil le-S ul l y parents informing them of the situation.

Osler, 32, was arrested and charged with two counts of sexual exploitation by a school employee and lascivious conduct with a minor

after a two year investigation, according to a report

by Sioux City TV station KMEG 14.

“We did background checks of Mr. Osler during our interview process at both of his previous schools — West Delaware and Cherokee — and there were no criminal records,” Ehresman said. “We hired him on April 6. There were no red flags throughout our process.”

Osler was charged with having sexual relations with a minor student while em-

ployed for the Cherokee Community School District in July of 2013 and as recently as January 2015.

Osler was arrested in Manchester and transported to the Cherokee County Jail where he posted $10,000 cash bond and was released.

A Cherokee School District official told KMEG Osler hadn’t worked for the district for two years, but confirmed he was a teacher and coach at Washington High.

Osler was hired by Lyn-

nville-Sully to replace Mike Parkinson, who resigned as junior high social studies teacher, high school head football and head boys’ track coach. Parkinson is leaving for a high school teaching position and an assistant football coaching position at Adel DeSoto Minburn in Adel next year.

“We will begin our search again for a replacement for Mike,” Ehresman said.

C-M’s Poulter steps down as wrestling coach

Tigerhawk alum Hume tabbed as his replacement

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News For the past 30 years, the Colfax-Mingo wrestling program has been led by Bryan Poulter.

Next season, that will change.

Poulter told the Newton Daily News recently that he has stepped down from his head varsity wrestling post and turned the program over to Tigerhawk alum Erin Hume.

The hire became official at this month’s school board meeting.

“Leaving something that you have done for 30 years is a tough thing,” said Poulter, who first served as a C-M assistant for three years under Bill Edgar.

“Wrestling is a fantastic sport for kids to learn so many valuable lessons of life from. It has been my privilege to have the opportunity to serve all these years in that capacity.”

Poulter will remain in his positions as Colfax-Mingo Athletic Director and head softball coach. His teaching responsibilities also will remain unchanged.

Hume graduated from C-M in 2003 and was a two-time state qualifier at 140 and 145.

He wrestled one year at Central College and then spent two seasons at Morningside College and was a two-time NAIA national qualifier at 157 and 165.

Hume spent the past two seasons as an assistant under Poulter. He previously coached as an assistant at Sioux City East and Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln.

“I am excited to keep

things going like Coach Poulter did for the last 30 years,” Hume said.

Hume said conversations about the head coaching position surfaced at the start of this past season.

Poulter wanted one more year and approached Hume about taking over. Hume was honored to have the opportunity.

“I knew the only way it would be possible would be if I was a teacher in the district,” Hume said. “I am currently in my first year

at the middle school so that helped the situation.”

Poulter admitted that one of his requirements for the next coach was to be on staff in the district.

And once Hume, who has a twin brother named Eric, took a position at the middle school, the long-time Tigerhawk wrestling coach knew he would be a good candidate for the position.

“Erin has a great background in wrestling,” Poulter said. “He

also has great instructional technique and has a young, driving passion to help kids. Leaving the position in such capable hands makes the transition out much easier for me.”

While Poulter’s time as head wrestling coach has ended, Hume doesn’t expect his high school coach to simply ride off into the sunset.

And he doesn’t want him to.

“He’ll be in the room, and I want him in the room,” said Hume, who won 110 match-

Newton, PCM to host girls golf regionals

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News The Newton and Prairie City-Monroe girls’ golf teams will be in familiar territory when the postseason begins next month.

The Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union released its regional pairings Wednesday and both the Cardinals’ Westwood Golf Course and Mustangs’ Gateway Recreation Golf Course will be host sites.

Newton hosts the Class 4A Region 2 final May 26. Joining the Cardinals in their quest to return to the state meet will be ADM of Adel, Ballard, Carlisle, Creston, Perry, Winterset, Knoxville and Little Hawkeye Conference rivals Dallas Cen-

ter-Grimes, Grinnell, Norwalk and Pella.

PCM hosts an eight-team meet in the Region 2B first round.

The Mustangs welcome Bondurant-Farrar, Centerville and Heart of Iowa Conference foes CMBCN, Gilbert, Nevada, North Polk and Roland-Story on May 18.

Teams and individual golfers who advance play in the Region 2 final in Menlo at 5x80 Golf and Country Club on May 26.

Teams from Region 2A which also could advance to Menlo include Atlantic, Chariton, Clarke, Red Oak, Shenandoah, Southwest Iowa and West Central

Valley.

Colfax-Mingo plays at Grundy Center’s Town and Country Golf Course for its Class 1A Region 3A first round meet. Also playing in Grundy Center on May 18 will be Ankeny Christian, Belle Plaine, Gladbrook-Reinbeck, GMG, North Tama and the host Spartans.

The site for the Class 1A Region 3 final round is the Marengo Golf Club on May 26.

Start times for the regional meets will be determined at a later date.

es at C-M. “He can be involved as much as he wants to be. He has been doing this a long time. I am sure it won’t be easy for him to just go away completely.”

Participation numbers at Colfax-Mingo, and in a lot of programs around the state, have been in decline for the past five to 10 years, according to Poulter.

Hume hopes his connection to the middle school will help get kids interested in the sport at a younger age.

And his approach

will dig much deeper than singlets, double-leg takedowns, arm bars and headlocks.

“It needs to be more than just wrestling,” Hume said. “It also needs to be about school, life, family and friends. I hope seeing the kids everyday at the middle school will help get them interested in the sport. It may take a few years but improving the numbers is the goal.”

CHICAGO (AP) — The NFL draft is back in the City of Big Shoulder Pads for a seventh time, expecting a much warmer reception than it got nearly 80 years ago from the very first pick in its very first draft.

The man who stiffarmed the NFL back then at the draft in Philadelphia was University of Chicago running back and Heisman Trophy winner Jay Berwanger.

He said “no thanks” when then-Philadelphia Eagles owner Bert Bell — widely considered the “father” of thedraft — selected him with the No. 1 overall pick. Then he repeated it to legendary Chicago Bears owner George Halas, who had acquired Berwanger’s rights in a trade. He never played in the NFL and a few years later, he told a handful of sportswriters he’d made a big mistake.

No one tells the NFL “no” any more.

Yet history barely recorded the reaction in the room at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel in 1936 because the draft, known as the “players selection meeting” at the time, was a no-frills event that merited no media coverage. That won’t be the case Thursday when the league sets up shop in the Auditorium Theatre at Roosevelt University — 51 years after the last draft outside New York

was held, also in Chicago.

In keeping with a recent trend, several likely top picks won’t be part of the live proceedings, leaving commissioner Roger Goodell on stage with hat in hand. Among them are quarterbacks Jameis Winston of Florida State and Marcus Mariota of Oregon, who already announced plans to hear their names called surrounded by family and friends, thousands of miles from the Windy City lakefront.

But they might regret missing the after-party.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel relentlessly lobbied the NFL to relocate the event, then invested some of his own political capital to make sure things run smoothly.

He plans to be on hand when the first selection is made, but how long he’ll stick around is anyone’s guess. When asked whom the hometown team should take with the No. 10 pick, Emanuel added a little oomph — but no more information — to the answer he gave to the same question in November. Back then, the Bears were on the skids en

route to a 5-11 finish.

“That decision,” he said, “is way above my pay grade.”

The mayor will have a say, though, in almost everything else surrounding the three-day event. There will be a “gold carpet” for draft prospects and their moms to walk outside the theater and no shortage of wraparound events spread across the city and downtown, including ambitious plans to turn historic Grant Park into a 900,000-squarefoot football fantasyland.

A flag football festival, Super Bowl museum, outdoor beer gardens and restaurant stands manned by culinary celebrities from Chicago’s renowned food scene will trample some of the same turf where demonstrators ran riot during the 1968 Democratic Convention and the Lollapalooza music bash kicks off for the 10th time later this summer. Even the park’s iconic Buckingham Fountain will get in on the act, lighting up with the colors of the team that is on the clock during the first two nights.

ESPN will arrive with a

small army to televise the event. Nearly 10 million viewers tuned in to watch its firstround coverage last year, with the hype surrounding Johnny Manziel. It helped produce the highest-rated draftsince the network began tracking numbers in 1993. Lead producer Seth Markman made a handful of visits in preparation for this one, in addition to coordinating a dozen or more “Monday Night Football” telecasts from Soldier Field in previous years.

While the cozy, 3,900seat Auditorium Theatre will present a number of logistical challenges, that’s not what’s been keeping Markman up at night. Many of the network’s draft-related shows, including its flagship “SportsCenter,” will be staged live outdoors — a roll of the dice, to be sure, considering the unpredictable spring weather in these parts.

“It can’t be as bad as the snow we ran into the night Coach (Mike) Ditka got his number retired. I’m sure of that,” Markman said. “I’m not sure we ever got a colder game than that. I remember thinking, ‘He’s 75 years old and he standing out there in that weather for halftime with nothing but a little hat on.’

“Poor guy,” Markman recalled with a chuckle. “I thought his face would freeze off.”

Big 12 working on tiebreakers to crown true football champ IRVING, Texas (AP) — The Big 12 is getting closer to deciding how it wants to crown one true champion in football.

Commissioner Bob Bowlsby reiterated Tuesday at the College Football Playoff meetings that his conference is prepared to use head-to-head results to break a two-way tie for first.

He added that athletic directors will discuss at league meetings next week in Phoenix different procedures for breaking ties between more than two teams.

Bowlsby told reporters the goal with three or more teams will be to whittle the group down to two and then use head-to-head to crown a champion.

The Big 12 began last season

touting its “One True Champion” slogan and ended it with Bowlsby handing out championship trophies to both TCU and Baylor, which beat the Horned Frogs in the regular season. Both were left out of the College Football Playoff. Baylor coach Art Briles was among those who felt the Big 12’s decision not to declare a champion hurt the Bears chances to make the first playoff.

Baylor finished fifth in the selection committee’s final rankings, right behind Ohio State. TCU was sixth.

“That will eliminate one of the variables from last year,” Bowlsby said about implementing a tiebreaker.

The other variable was the

Big 12 being alone among the Big Five conferences in not having a league championship game, leaving TCU and Baylor with a 12-game resume as compared to Ohio State’s 13. The Buckeyes surged up the rankings thanks to a 59-0 victory in the Big Ten title game against Wisconsin.

Selection committee chairman Jeff Long said after the final rankings were revealed that having an extra game to evaluate the Buckeyes, especially a huge game against a ranked opponent, helped separate Ohio State from the Big 12 teams.

Even before being shut out of last year’s playoff, the Big 12, along with the Atlantic Coast Conference, sponsored a propos-

American Pharoah is Kentucky Derby favorite LOUISVILLE, Ky (AP) — A field of 20 will run for the roses at Churchill Downs, and while the Kentucky Derby might not be the best race of the year, it is certainly the most anticipated, unless a Triple Crown hopeful emerges.

About $125 million was bet

on the Derby last year, more than 160,000 fans are expected at Churchill and it’s not implausible to think — based on recent years — that 15 million or so will watch on television in the U.S. alone.

“It has become such an event,” Eclipse Award-win-

ning trainer Todd Pletcher said.

American Pharoah comes into the Derby on a four-race winning streak, including an eight-length victory in the Arkansas Derby. Trainer Bob Baffert’s American Pharoah is a 5-2 favorite.

al to deregulate rules regarding conference title games. Current rules state a conference must have 12 teams and be split into two divisions. The Big 12 has no plans to bring back its league title game, which was dropped when the conference went from 12 to 10 teams, but it would like the option to consider it.

“Going undefeated in a league where there’s a full round-robin is easier said than done,” Bowlsby said. “The opportunity to play a 13th game, even if it’s a regular-season rematch — which many of them are — may be well advised for us. A plausible case can be made on all sides of it, but we’re going to have to come to a conclusion on it.”

YEA: BROCK, STEVENSON, CARPENTER Motion by Brock, seconded by Stevenson to approve the Recorder's Monthly Report of Fees Collected for the period beginning March 1, 2015 and ending March 31, 2015.

YEA: STEVENSON, BROCK, CARPENTER Motion by Brock, seconded by Stevenson to approve Board of Supervisors minutes for April 14, 2015.

YEA: STEVENSON, CARPENTER, BROCK There were no Board appointments.

The Supervisors responded to the Newton Daily News report when asked to comment on Representative Kelley's remarks that “he was fearful dollars would be misappropriated by some local City Councils and Boards of Supervisors”..”Improvements to rural roads and bridges aren't priority and never was.”

Denny Stevenson was personally offended by the comments and challenged Kelley to come to a meeting and talk about what his views are. “I'm going to speak for me, I'm not speaking for the board. I think he is absolutely wrong. Personally, I think Rep. Kelley ought to worry about what he was elected to do and let us worry about what we were elected to do,” said Stevenson.

Stevenson commended the engineer for the time he spends deciding where best to spend the funds and feels he does a very good job.

Denny Carpenter said “I know that our engineering department will spend this money wisely. It will be spent on roads and bridges that need maintenance and things done on them. We've got plenty of bridges that need work and they don't have enough money that we can do them all. It is yet to be seen how much we will benefit from this increase at our level.”

Supervisor Brock said he is excited to see the extra revenue come in and there are plenty of projects in the county that those dollars could be used for.

Auditor Dennis Parrott said the of Supervisors and Board Engineer have done 40 bridges up to this point. “The commitment is really there by the board of supervisors and engineer, so I guess I would question where Dan is getting his facts and on their lack of figures commitment to the infrastructure in the county.”

Treasurer Doug Bishop said that in the five years Dan Kelley has been in office, he has not once attended a five year planning meeting to discuss infrastructure needs, nor the budget meetings held by the Board. Bishop said “That would be ten opportunities to come and express thoughts or concerns that have been passed on by Rep. Kelley...”

Astrograph

We experience millions upon millions of words in our lifetimes, and most of them, though right for the moment, are soon forgotten. Mercury’s entrance into the loquacious sign of Gemini today begins many weeks of steady, fluent, abundant communication.

Those who want to be memorable would be wise to do more than talk -- paint pictures.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (April 30). Your high standards and determination are why this turns out to be one of your most productive years to date. In your work, you’ll be uncompromising, but in your personal relationships, you’ll be flexible

and sensitive, ready to make the other person happy. Adventures in August lead to commitments.

Aquarius and Aries people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 15, 26, 12 and 32.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You won’t understand everyone’s perspective. It’s natural to gravitate toward the ones you do understand, but you’ll only improve and broaden yourself by pursuing insight from the ones you don’t understand.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’re feeling inquisitive, and you’re in the mood to collect things like facts, words, books and the tangible items that

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You are an artist. The proof of this won’t be in your work so much as in your ability to find the beauty and sense the deep significance of inconspicuous and overlooked details.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

A relationship gets interesting when you get beyond the standard exchanges and dip your toe into the murky depths.

This is best accomplished with a casual air, a light heart and a lack of agenda.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You may have trouble explaining

things in a rational way today, but that’s only because you’re leading with your emotional IQ. You have a talent for picking up on subtleties of mood, vagueness and the logic of the heart.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Technicalities might hang you up, and there’s an opportunity in this. Don’t wish for fewer problems; get more skills. Getting better at solving one issue will help you with many more.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

People suspect the one who never has a negative word to say. Complaining can be fun.

Sharing gripes is one way many people connect. Alas, the guilty pleasure of complaint is also immature. Mature people do something about it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’re not genuinely interested in all subjects, but you still enjoy carrying on conversations about whatever comes up, because you’re genuinely interested in all people.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your changing priorities and resources will have you looking at certain goals differently. Some goals are not meant to be achieved. Let your goals evolve with your life circumstances.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Once upon a time, you made an agreement you didn’t properly understand. If you had known, you wouldn’t have agreed, and yet today things are working out just fine. Next

time around, though, seek total comprehension.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Seize the opportunity to get in front of people to talk about what you’re selling. Whether it’s a product, an idea or a relationship, you will be extraordinarily persuasive in your own laid-back way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

People who show up to help you will need your leadership.

Don’t assume that the others know what they are doing.

You can be an attentive guide without micromanaging.
