Newton woman arrested after chase

Charged with theft, eluding

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Submitted Photo Annuals, perennials, herbs oh my! Those and more will be available at Project AWAKE’s annual plant sale Friday and Saturday inside the Krumm Center at the Newton Arboretum, 3000 N. Fourth Ave. E.

A 22-year-old Newton woman was arrested Thursday night after a brief c h a s e through the east side of the city.

A c c o rd ing to a Ne w t o n Sanders Police Depar tment report, Jerrica L. Sanders, 22, was arrested by officers after another female reported Sanders for allegedly stealing her car. At about 10:35 p.m., officers were dispatched to investigate a possible stolen vehicle at 222 E. 11th St. S. The registered owner of a red Mercury Mountaineer SUV told police Sanders had been at the residence earlier and had taken the keys to the vehicle, despite being told by the owner not to drive it, and she left in the Mountaineer.

The owner completed a voluntary sworn statement, and said she

Project AWAKE Annual Plant Sale starts Friday

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Put on your green thumb and head to the Project AWAKE Annual Plant Sale Friday and Saturday inside the Krumm Center at the Newton Arboretum, 3000 N. Fourth Ave. E. Project AWAKE will once again have a large selection of plants available, along with helpful guides for questions and suggestions.

“There’s a wide variety of plants, everything from your typical daylilies to spring woodland flowers to house plants. It really depends on what everyone has. Each year we get something new and different,” Administrative Park Superintendent Nathan Unsworth said.

For more than 15 years, the “giant yard sale for plants” as it has been called, has provided perennials, annuals, house plants, herbs and seed saver packets for purchase to fund projects at the arboretum

and in the Newton community.

All plants are donated with perennials coming from local home owners who have an abundance in their own gardens. The annuals are donated by local greenhouses.

As in the past few years, Friday will be the first opportunity to get your hands on the plants during the pre-sale. Starting at 5:30 p.m. and running until 7:30, it is $5 per person to get the first pick of the plants as well as take in refreshments, two mini-seminars and be eligible for a door prize.

The mini-seminars are presented

by Project AWAKE members and provide information about composting and the seed savers packets that are sold at the arboretum.

Unsworth said the money raised this year will go toward projects first thing this spring at the arboretum.

“We have several projects in the works for this summer. We are redoing three of our flower beds so

the money goes toward good use right away this spring,” Unsworth said.

Any donations to the sale can go directly to the arboretum. If a community member needs help getting perennials dug up, they can call 641-791-3021 and arrangements will be made.

Project AWAKE’s mission is to promote appreciation and awareness of the environment in the Newton community, by planting trees and flower beds in public areas. AWAKE aims to stimulate citizens to make improvements on their individual properties and work toward an improved appearance. AWAKE encourages the preservation of open spaces, historical landmarks and community planning to ensure the enjoyment and appreciation of nature for the next generations of Newton.

wanted to press auto theft charges against Sanders. While officers were on scene, Sanders pulled up in the vehicle, and fled the scene after police told her to park and get out.

She drove back to the residence on E. 11th St. S., stopped briefly, with police behind her, then took police through several streets, and reached speeds as fast as 40 mph in the nearby Hy-Vee grocery store parking lot.

Sanders then drove the SUV back to the residence on E. 11th St. S., where she was ordered out of the vehicle in the driveway and handcuffed. The pursuit lasted about six minutes.

The report says she banged her head against a police vehicle during an initial search, while being transported to Jasper County Jail.

The report also alleges Sanders resisted jailer’s commands, and a stun device had to be used more than once as they secured her arms and legs.

A no-contact order had been in place, so Sanders was charged with violating that order.

She was also charged with interference with police acts, eluding and second-degree theft.

Berkshire Hathaway’s quarter profit up 10 percent OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Warren Buffett’s company says its first-quarter profit jumped 10 percent on the strength of its railroad and insurance businesses.

Berkshire Hathaway Inc. earned $5.16 billion, or $3,143 per Class A share, during the first three months of 2015. That’s up from $4.71 billion, or $2,862 per Class A share, last year.

Berkshire’s BNSF railroad rebounded from last year’s service problems to generate $1.045 billion net income, up from $724 million. Last year, BNSF dealt with severe cold weather and a backlog of shipments in several states.

DES MOINES — Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped to 4.0 percent in March from 4.1 percent in February. The state’s jobless rate was 4.4 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate remained at 5.5 percent in March.

“Nonfarm employment increased for the sixth-consecutive month in March, adding 3,300 jobs,” Iowa Workforce Development Director Beth Townsend said. “While the state’s nonfarm employment expanded to an all-time high, the unemployment rate dropped to 4.0 percent, making it the lowest rate since May 2008.”

The number of unemployed Iowans decreased to 67,800, an estimate is 6,200 lower than the year ago level of 74,000.

The total number of working Iowans increased to 1,647,100 in March. This figure is 600 higher than February and 25,500 higher than one year ago.

Iowa’s nonfarm employment posted another gain this month, adding 3,300 jobs. Job growth was fueled primarily by service sectors, with private services gaining a combined 3,100 jobs. The state itself has added 26,900 jobs since last March (+1.7 percent).

Local News Calendar Continued from Page 1A a preferred Aug. 24 startdate calendar, if Gov. Terry Branstad were to sign a bill that would move the start date into August.

Branstad recently signed SF 227 into law, allowing Iowa districts to begin school as early as the week of Aug. 23.

However, rather than simply roll with the March 9 approved calendar, Newton’s School Improvement Advisory Committee came up with another calendar at its April 22 meeting, and that calendar also has an Aug. 24 start date.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan said the calendar was studied more closely after Branstad’s approval of the week of Aug. 23 gave districts more options. It also allows the last day of school to be May 27.

“When the board voted on calendars earlier, Aug. 24 was just a dream and a wish,” Callaghan said. “But after we got the governor’s approval to start that week, we took another look, and saw a chance to make it better.”

August, September and October are identical on both calendars. Nov. 30 has an additional professional-development day in Revision 2; December has two additional instructional days, and

the 88-school-day first semester ends Friday, Jan. 8, 2016.

Des Moines Area Community College and other two- and four-year institutions begin their spring 2016 semesters Monday, Jan. 11 — Newton’s 87-date spring semester will start that day as well.

The calendar approved March 9 called for a Jan. 15 end to the first semester for Newton — two weeks after students return from the holiday break. Callaghan confirmed with Newton High School Principal Bill Peters, who was also at the April 27 meeting, that no new material will be introduced in January to high school students who are reviewing for, or taking, final semester exams.

Callaghan pointed out that the pattern of professional days is to have those on the final Monday of each month. There are two professional days on the revised calendar that were not on the March 9-approved calendar at all.

The previously approved calendar had students attending classes in the first week of June, whereas Revision 2 calls for Friday, May 27 to be the last day of school.

May 31— the Tuesday after Memorial Day — will be a professional development day.

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | May 4, 2015 | 3A Callaghan emphasized the importance of professional development days, and pointed out a calendar that ends in May allows retiring teachers to collect an IPERS benefit stipend for the month of June. Cook said she was wondering why the changes incorporated into “Revision 2” weren’t considered in the first place.

“Frankly, it seems like a waste of time,” Cook said.

Board member Robyn Friedman said that “would have required a two-hour SIAC meeting.”

Callaghan explained there would have been little justification in putting great amounts of time or thought into an Aug. 24 calendar until the school start-date was changed. Branstad directed the Department of Education to stop automatically granting waivers to the mandated Sept.

1 date that had been law for years, and after lengthy discussion in the legislature, the governor finally signed SF 227 into law on April 10.

Newton Christian School typically follows the lead of Newton public schools when it comes to calendar decisions.

“It would not be our recommendation, in the future, to revise a calendar like this, a second time, unless we make some

kind of huge mistake,” Callaghan said. “We apologize to the board for bringing this back to you. Like the state supplemental aid, these decisions should have been made by the legislature in February of 2014.”

Board member Bill Perrenoud asked if an Aug. 23 will be more problematic in future school years, depending on which day of the week it falls on. Callaghan since the Iowa State Fair is one of the driving forces behind keeping the start date from being too early, districts could likely steer clear of conflict by starting school after the last day of the fair.

The state fair’s established dates are Aug. 13-23, 2015; Aug.11-21, 2016; Aug. 10-20, 2017; Aug. 9-19, 2018; Aug. 8-18, 2019 and Aug. 1323, 2020.

Board member Nat Clark, who is not on this year’s SIAC, defended the improved calendar.

“We had to ratify a calendar so that the district could move forward,” Clark said. “We made our decision, and now we can make it better because the government has pulled its head out of their rear end, and made a decision on when we start school.”

Larry & Diana Ambroson Clutter & Depression In a new UCLA study, the data suggests that clutter can make one feel depressed. It has a profound effect on mood and self-esteem, but more so in women than men.

Researchers found a link between household clutter and higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol; the more stuff, the more stress women felt. Tips to declutter: Take 5 minutes each hour to put away five things. Adopt a ‘shiny sink’ policy; clear dishes from sink and counter nightly. Utilize out-of-theway storage spaces such as under stairs. Have a designated spot for things.

Fill a box with items you don’t think you use. Seal the box, and put it in a closet. If you haven’t opened it in a year, donate it.

In the Neighborhood

In her shoes

By Pam Rodgers Associate Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | May 4, 2015

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live a day in your mom’s shoes?

Admittedly, the question never crossed my mind until I was flipping around and stopped on the movie “Freaky Friday.” I have seen the movie many times before — both versions. However, I never took the time to reflect what the body switch scenario would be like for me.

I have a fairly decent understanding of what my mom experiences every day — she’s been a teacher for nearly 40 years, so she has her routine down to a science. She has taught several different age levels and subjects in that time; but for the last 10 years, she has settled in as a junior high and high school mathematics teacher. She doesn’t complain much about the students she

teaches; she’s a professional after all. More often than not, she tells stories that show obvious pride for her pupils or some humorous tales about the silly ideas some of them come up with in an attempt to bend her rules. Adolescent boys in math class are a great place to find humor — the way mom tells the stories anyway.

She works hard to be sure her students receive a quality education. I have heard more times than I can count former students telling me how much they loved having mom as a teacher and a coach. I had the honor to call her teacher and coach; but most importantly, I get to call her mom. I had the privilege to see her hard work and dedication not only in the classroom but at home as well.

For as long as I can remember, she was the first one up in

the house and the last to sit down to rest for the evening. We all did our part, but it seemed like mom always did one more thing before calling it a night.

She’s not perfect (sorry, mom).

Honestly, I wouldn’t want her to be. I learned more from the imperfections anyway. I can turn to her at all times, happy and sad, and she will be there for me.

Every kid should be able to say, “My mom is the best mom ever.” When I say it, I really mean it. I wouldn’t trade her for anyone else.

All she did for the three of us wouldn’t have been possible if she hadn’t had such a great role model in her own mother.

Grandma Bushong has been the cornerstone of our family for as long as I can remember. She raised six great kids, working hard to create a home for them as my mom has done for me and

my siblings. I have grandma to thank for so much. I often say grandma’s house is my favorite place in the world. It’s easy to say because of all the memories I created there.

As Mother’s Day approaches, I want to show my gratitude to my mom and grandma. I would do anything for them. These hard working ladies have taught me no other way.

So, if somehow I find myself making a wish to switch places or share a magical fortune cookie, I would have very big shoes to fill. I’m sure I wouldn’t last the day without wishing to switch back. My mother on the other hand, would make it look easy. She’s a mom — that’s her superpower.

Eye on America

What creates jobs

State View

Keeping higher education affordable Keeping higher education affordable allows more Iowans to get the education and skills they need to find good jobs. It creates a positive cycle that helps our state attract even more businesses and jobs — the types that will strengthen Iowa’s middle class and grow our economy.

By Chaz Allen Regardless of Iowa Senator where Iowa students choose to further their education, Senate Democrats are fighting to provide them more affordable opportunities, including at Iowa’s three state universities.

This week, the Senate approved an education budget (SF 493) that invests enough in Iowa State, the University of Iowa and the University of Northern Iowa to freeze tuition for a record third straight year. Unfortunately, this tuition freeze may be in jeopardy under the much lower funding being considered by the Republican-controlled Iowa House.

Our state universities have asked for enough additional funding to cover inflation. Governor Branstad and Senate Democrats have included these dollars in our budgets, after promising last fall to continue a tuition freeze.

Without this investment, Iowa students at our state universities will likely see higher tuition.

Iowa’s community colleges train a skilled workforce at a time when nearly 34 percent of job openings in Iowa require an education level equal to an associate’s degree or higher. Despite the growing importance of community colleges to both Iowa students and the Iowa economy, state funding has not kept up.

Even when accounting for inflation, tuition has increased dramatically in recent years.

According to the Iowa Department of Education’s annual report on our community colleges, over the past decade, average tuition rose from $97 per credit to more than $145 per credit. That’s an increase of about 4.6 percent per year. Add in fees, and the total cost is even higher. A full-time student enrolled at one of Iowa’s

15 community colleges could expect to pay between $4,110 and $5,370 in an academic year.

Tuition and fees currently account for 56 percent of total community college revenues, compared to 46 percent in 2004.

State support for community colleges hit a low in 2010 during the recession, but with the state budget in good condition today, a strong investment in education and job training will keep our economy growing and expand Iowa’s middle class.

SF 493, the education budget, will help. It includes an $8 million increase in general aid to our community colleges. We’re also providing more than $40 million in on-going worker training funding. These dollars will help keep tuition rates down and provide financial aid so that all Iowans are able to learn, train and grow at our community colleges.

To contact Sen. Allen during the week, call the Senate Switchboard at 515-281-3371. Otherwise, he can be reached at 641521-6297. Email him at chaz. allen@legis.iowa.gov.

G o v - By John Stossel ernment creates jobs? No! I suppose it’s natural people think government creates jobs because politicians always say that.

“We’ve now created more than 10 million,” said President Obama. But that just meant that he took office at the start of the recession, and finally job creation resumed.

He didn’t cause that. In fact, his taxes and complex regulation slowed job creation.

His 2012 presidential election rival, Mitt Romney, was a little more free-market-oriented, but he sounded like Obama when he talked about jobs.

He had “a plan” to add 12 million. Don’t assume his plan was just to get government out of the way of the private sector — Romney said it’s a bad idea to cut government spending during a recession.

FDR’s New Deal was the dawn of belief that jobs flow from government.

FDR didn’t seem to care whether jobs people did were productive or sustainable. He just wanted something done about the “armies” of unemployed.

If they weren’t given jobs, they might become a real army and revolt.

Now that government has lots of power, people look to it to create jobs.

Communist countries had five-year plans. They didn’t work.

That’s because jobs come from government getting out of the way and letting employers produce goods.

Every new layer of regulations sounds nice — protecting the environment, providing more health care, forbidding discrimination against disabled people — but most rules do more harm than good.

Humans have needs and desires. Entrepreneurs

see those needs as opportunity. They hire people not out of generosity or because government told them to — but because it’s profitable to employ people if they produce valuable goods.

If it’s not profitable, that means those people would be better employed doing something else. The prices customers are willing to pay and the wages workers accept are the best indication of which jobs can be done profitably and therefore ought to be done.

But politicians don’t trust business owners to make those decisions.

Some also resent it if entrepreneurs succeed without kissing the politicians’ ring.

President Obama famously said, “If you’ve got a business, you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.”

I’d think Hillary Clinton would have learned from the outcry that followed, but no — she then said, “Don’t let anybody tell you that it’s corporations and businesses that create jobs! That old theory, trickle-down economics, has been tried. That has failed.”

But it hasn’t failed.

Free markets lifted a billion people out of poverty during Hillary’s career. She just won’t acknowledge it.

Lawyer-politicians aren’t comfortable with creative destruction they don’t control. They prefer central planning.

That’s why Hillary also said, “I voted to raise the minimum wage. And guess what? Millions of jobs were created.”

This, too, is absurd. Politicians act as if they can wave a magic wand and grant everyone more money. But minimum wage laws don’t create jobs. They just make lower-paying jobs illegal. Some of those jobs go away. That’s basic economics.

The effect on the economy is small because 95 percent of American workers earn more than the minimum. But the more employers are forced to pay, the fewer people they’ll hire.

McDonald’s responded to recent demands for higher wages by making plans to replace cashiers with automated services. Once more, political “solutions” create new problems.

Skiff Medical Center earns national respiratory care recognition Newton Daily News Skiff Medical Center has earned Quality Respiratory Care Recognition (QRCR) under a national program aimed at helping patients and families make informed decisions about the quality of the respiratory care services available in hospitals.

About 700 hospitals (15 percent) of hospitals in the United States have applied for and received this award.

The QRCR program was started by the American Association for Respiratory Care (AARC) in 2003 to help consumers identify those facilities using qualified respiratory therapists to provide respiratory care. Hospitals earning the QRCR designation ensure patient safety by agreeing to adhere to a strict set of criteria governing their respiratory care services.

To qualify for the recognition, Skiff Medical

Center provided documentation showing it meets the following conditions: All respiratory therapists employed by the hospital to deliver bedside respiratory care services are either legally recognized by the state as competent to provide respiratory care services or hold the CRT or RRT credential.

Respiratory therapists are available 24 hours.

Other personnel qualified to perform specific respiratory procedures and the amount of supervision required for personnel to carry out specific procedures must be designated in writing.

A doctor of medicine or osteopathy is designated as medical director of respiratory care services.

Hospital policy prohibits the routine delivery of medicated aerosol treatments utilizing small volume nebulizers,

metered dose inhalers, or intermittent positive pressure treatments to multiple patients simultaneously.

Circumstances under which this practice is permitted is defined by policy.

Use a process that periodically compares performance of your respiratory department on efficiency and quality metrics with similar departments for the purpose of identifying an achieving best practice.

The AARC’s QRCR program grew out of growing concerns among health care leaders and the general public regarding the safety and quality of health care services provided to patients. Hospitals that meet the QRCR requirements provide a level of respiratory care consistent with national standards and guidelines, and should be commended for their commitment to quality care. A list of QRCR

hospitals is maintained at the association’s website for consumers, www.yourlunghealth. org.

Respiratory therapists are specially trained health care professionals who work under physician’s orders to provide a wide range of breathing treatments and other services to people with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cystic fibrosis, lung cancer, AIDS, and other lung or lung-related conditions. They also care for premature infants and are key members of lifesaving response teams charged with handling medical emergencies.

The AARC is a membership organization representing more than 50,000 health professionals involved in respiratory care nationwide.

Woman’s prince charming has abandoned the magic words DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I both have professional careers and are independent. We have been in a committed relationship for eight years now.

When we first met, I wasn’t looking to be in a relationship. He pulled all the stops to get me to date him. He was attentive, complimentary, dinner dates, movies, etc. He was the first to say “I love you.” Prince Charming had nothing on him.

When he knew I had finally fallen for him, the chase was over and everything came to a screeching halt. No more dates, no more I-love-yous. Everything he did to get me to fall in love with him stopped. The man I fell for doesn’t exist anymore.

If I ask him if he loves me, he tells me I shouldn’t be insecure and needy.

I told him hearing the words mean a lot to me, but the words seem to have been deleted from his vocabulary. Any suggestions on how I can get him to understand how I need to hear it from him? — LONGING FOR ‘I LOVE YOU’ DEAR LONGING: You have already told your boyfriend what you need. Now it’s time to find out why he is unwilling to give it to you. Then ask yourself if you want to continue like this indefinitely, because he appears to have changed considerably. Is he the kind of husband you would want for a lifetime? If not, you might be better off with someone more responsive, because this appears to be the status quo, and the man has shown himself to be unlikely to change.

DEAR ABBY: With technology the way it is today and everyone taking photos and videos of everyone around them, are there any new rules of etiquette? I’m asking because of a couple situations I’ve been in lately.

The other day I was kayaking with some people I met online. While I was rowing, struggling to catch up with

those who were faster, breathing hard and sweating, a kayaker in front of me whom I had just met started videotaping me. I didn’t want to be videotaped, but I didn’t want to break my stride and explain.

Yesterday I was in a hot spring at a health spa, wearing a swimsuit. I looked up and a woman I didn’t know was about to take a photo of two other women. I was in the background. Fortunately, I was able to leap out of the way, and the only part of me that might have been photographed was my backside.

In both situations I was uncomfortable, but I did nothing to stop it. What is a polite way to ask someone to stop?

— PHOTO-SHY IN CALIFORNIA DEAR PHOTO-SHY: It’s perfectly acceptable to say, “Please don’t do that,” or “Let me get out of range.” If the photographer has any manners, he/ she will accommodate you.

DEAR ABBY: My husband never gets me anything for Mother’s Day. We have two children. He says, “You’re not my mother!” What do you think?

— HURT IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR HURT: Is your husband the father of your children? If the answer is yes, I think the man you married is thoughtless, insensitive or cheap.

IOWA CITY — Since the 2008 floods, Iowa City has purchased and leveled more than 90 homes, and now the city hopes to expand the effort after last year’s flooding.

The city wants to secure more than $1 million in state and federal money to buy nine flood-prone properties along the Iowa River. Iowa City qualified for an Emergency Management Agency grant and $136,000 in state money for the project.

Difference over surplus money delays legislative adjournment The Associated Press DES MOINES — At the center of the unresolved Iowa budget is a simple disagreem e n t about how to count t h e money.

O n o n e side are Gronstal Senate Democrats and Gov. Terry Branstad, who support using some surplus money to balance the budget. On the other side are House Republicans, who say the state should not spend more than the projected revenue for the fiscal year that starts July 1.

The fiscal clash is part of the reason lawmakers are at odds over how much to spend on individual departments, differing on key areas like education.

While Friday marked the final day for lawmakers to receive daily expense payments, they cannot adjourn until they craft a budget deal.

“I’m confident as both sides get budgets in play that we will work to find new ground. I’m confident we can get through this,” said Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, D-Council

Bluffs.

With the Senate and Branstad proposing overall general fund budgets of about $7.34 billion and House Republicans seeking to spend $7.17 billion, the numbers are not far apart. But resolving the differences will likely take some political skill and creative budget dealmaking.

Gronstal said Republicans had “drawn a line in the concrete” over spending and encouraged them to compromise. His counterpart, House Speaker Kraig Paulsen, R-Hiawatha, said Republicans are happy to have a conversation but likely won’t shift their overall spending goal.

“The House Republican caucus is very committed to balancing ongoing revenue with ongoing expenses. It’s the one thing that we’ve said we’re absolutely firm on and I don’t expect it to change,” Paulsen said.

The real budget deadline is June 30, before the new fiscal year begins. In 2011, lawmakers went right up to that brink, squabbling over spending and social issues, making it the one of the longest sessions in Iowa history. Most hope this year won’t be a repeat. Branstad said he hopes everyone can reach a resolution in May.

GOP field grows: Fiorina, Carson to launch presidential bids The Associated Press WA S H I N G T O N — Former technology executive Carly Fiorina announced she’s running for president, and retired neurosurgeon Ben Carson was set to launch his bid as well on Monday, as the Republican field of hopefuls expands once more.

Both Fiorina and Carson have the potential to help the GOP win over a more diverse group of supporters in 2016.

Fiorina is likely to be the only prominent woman to seek the GOP nomination, with Carson the only likely African-American. They are both also political outsiders in a field likely to be dominated by governors, former governors and senators.

The two are not considered political allies and the timing of their announcements, planned weeks ago, is coincidental.

Fiorina, 60, chose a nationally broadcast morning network news show to announce her candidacy, and she also posted a video.

The former chief executive of Hewlett-Packard Co., appearing on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” said she understands “executive decision-making.”

She also criticized Democrat Hillary Rodham Clinton, the front-runner for her party’s nomination, for a lack of transparency, including the use of a private email server while secretary of State and foreign donations to her family’s charitable foundation.

“I have a lot of admiration for Hillary Clinton, but she clearly is not trustworthy,” Fiorina said.

Carson also got ahead of himself on Sunday, confirming his plans to run in an interview that aired on an Ohio televi-

sion station.

“I’m willing to be part of the equation and therefore, I’m announcing my candidacy for president of the United States of America,” he told WKRC-TV in Cincinnati.

Carson, 63, is scheduled to make his formal announcement Monday in a speech from his native Detroit shortly after having breakfast at a local museum of African-American history.

When the baby’s older brother, Prince George, was born in 2013, the royal couple took two days to reveal his name, waiting until after Queen Elizabeth II had met her new great-grandson.

Meanwhile, Britain’s legal bookmakers have

been busy taking in thousands of bets for the baby’s name. For weeks, they have been saying that Alice is the clear favorite. But in recent days Charlotte, the feminine form of Charles, became the front runner.

The newborn may herald a new generation in the monarchy, but it is customary for royals to look to their past for name ideas.

The Dakota Access Pipeline

Community feedback and public input are vital to the project.

We want to hear from you and we invite you to learn more.

Call the DAPL Toll-Free Number 1-844-708-2635 DakotaAccessFacts.com The Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL) will transport domestically produced crude oil to American consumers using state-of-the-art underground pipeline technology.

Landowner Protection We are committed to working with local communities to protect Iowa’s valuable land and water and will fairly compensate landowners for the use of their land.

Agricultural Benefits DAPL will ease the region’s transportation backlog, moving crude by pipeline and freeing railcars and trucks to carry agricultural products more affordably. The project will also provide a critical energy link that will help to produce the fuels and lubricants that Americans depend upon to farm our crops, deliver our commodities to market, and move our families and products across our country.

State-of-the-Art Pipeline Safety Technology Pipelines are the safest way to transport energy, according to federal statistics, and the Dakota Access Pipeline will employ the most advanced technology and monitoring systems to make it even safer.

Benefits for Iowa’s Economy DAPL will bring $189 million in direct payments to landowners, create up to 4,000 construction jobs, and generate $77.3 million in tax revenue for Iowa during construction and the first year of operation alone.

DAPL will also increase American energy independence, displacing unreliable foreign oil with domestic energy to fuel the U.S. economy.

Newton tennis teams find out postseason assignments

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Rachel Prendergast signed a NCAA Division III celebratory form Thursday as her commitment to swim for Loras College in Dubuque. On hand for the celebration were her parents, Jim and Jennifer Prendergast, seated, and NCMP head coach Sarah Patterson, standing left, and assistant coach Chris Forsyth.

Prendergast to swim for Loras

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Swimming has been part of her life for a long time. Rachel Prendergast isn’t ready to climb out of the competitive pool.

“I decided I didn’t want to give up swimming competitively yet,” Prendergast said. “I’ll be in an environment where everyone is working to get better. We all have goals we haven’t quite reached yet.”

The Newton High senior signed a NCAA Division III celebratory form Thursday as a commitment to swim for Loras College in Dubuque next year.

Prendergast is one of the first to enjoy the new change in NCAA policy.

As of April 1, athletes heading to NCAA Division III institutions, like Loras, can sign an official documentation from their future institutions. It is not a scholarship, but a signing letter to celebrate the opportunity to compete in a college sport.

On hand for the ceremony at

NHS were her parents, Jim and Jennifer Prendergast, and her two high school coaches, Sarah Patterson and Chris Forsyth, of the Newton/Colfax-Mingo/Pella team. The NCMP Aquagirls swim as a Newton High team.

Prendergast has been swimming for NCMP for four years.

She qualified for the Iowa girls state swim meet four straight years as a member of an Aquagirls’ relay team.

Prendergast achieved a personal goal last fall in winning a regional individual championship in the 100-meter freestyle, qualifying for state in 55.84 seconds.

At state, she dropped to the time to a personal-best time 55.57, finishing 23rd.

She also was a member of the state qualifying 400 freestyle relay. Prendergast combined with Hannah Scotton, Sydney Jenkins and Samantha Hedrick to set a new NCMP record in the 400 freestyle relay in 3 minutes, 38.65 seconds for ninth at state. She swam a 55.61-second 100-meter

split in the relay race.

Prendergast helped the Aquagirls claim their third straight North Central Iowa Conference team championship. NCMP hosted the 2014 NCIC meet in October. She is a member of the 2014 NCIC championship 400-meter freestyle relay team along wing Scotton, Jenkins and Hedrick, which set a NCMP record in the event at 4:10.70.

Prendergast was named a NCIC scholar athlete.

“The campus and the area are beautiful and I have a lot of opportunities on and off campus to really further my education and my career in the future,” Prendergast said of her decision to attend Loras. “When I get on campus, we’re figure out where I will be contributing to the swim team.”

Prendergast said she plans to pursue a degree in public relations and a minor in coaching.

Thirteenth-ranked Cardinals shut out Jayettes

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Passing and possessing the ball well have led Newton High’s Cardinal girls to a 9-2 mark this season. Throwing in a stout defense and the Cardinals have posted eight shutouts.

Friday night at home, the Class 2A 13th-ranked Cardinals defeated Perry’s Jayettes, 8-0. Seven players scored goals for Newton and five players were credited with assists.

“The girls passed better than I’ve seen them pass tonight,” Newton head coach Abby Lamont said. “Their communication is really key to their success.”

Newton sophomore Ryanne Rausch added two more goals to her state-leading total. Rausch found the net twice in the contest against Perry to push her total to 26 goals. Courtney Powell, a sophomore from Union Community, had 22 goals going into a game Thursday night, and Burlington junior Elyse Huber had 21 goals.

“We did a lot of gives-andgoes and passed the ball well tonight,” said Macy Leonard, a senior. “Ryanne uses her speed to get out ahead and get the ball in the goal. Her teammates find her with strong passes on scoring opportunities.”

Megan Wright scored 22 goals for Newton in the 2011 season in 15 games. Amber Karsten had 21 goals for the Cardinals in 2014 in a 16-game season.

Raiders can’t catch distance-heavy North Polk

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News HUXLEY — The Collins-Maxwell/Baxter girls’ track and field team made a valiant comeback, but the points North Polk scored in four distance races was too much to overcome Friday night at the Ballard Invitational.

The Comets scored 60 of their 127 points in going 1-2 in the 800- and 1,500-meter runs, 2-3 in the 3,000 and first in the 4x800 and that was enough to hold off runner-up Roland-Story and third-place CMB. North Polk’s 127 points was 13 better than the Norse (114) and 17 clear of the Raiders (110).

CMB’s evening included three wins and 11 top-three finishes.

“I was pleased with the performance and effort of our girls tonight,” CMB coach Jerry Meinerts said. “We scored points in every event, but North Polk was just too good in the distance races. They just scored too many points in those races to catch them at the end.”

Clarion-Goldfield also surpassed the 100-point barrier with 102 points in fourth place. Madrid was next at 84 followed by South Hamilton’s 43 and Ogden’s eight.

Winter Brown and Toni Spencer won individual events, while the Raiders’ 4x100 relay team also claimed the gold.

Brown won the 3,000 easily with a time of 12 minutes, 44.68 seconds.

Spencer won the 100 in 13.31, besting teammate MacKenzie Schmitz by .02 seconds. Schmitz’s 13.33 was a season-best time.

Spencer and Schmitz teamed up with Maddy Poage and Megan Ritter to break the tape in the 4x100 in 52.88 seconds.

CMB’s four silver-medal performances were all in individual events.

Aside from Schmitz in the 100, Payge Jurgens also was runner-up in the shot put with a career-best throw of 37 feet,

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News GRIMES — Competing against a predominantly Class 3A field, the Prairie City-Monroe boys’ track and field team had a difficult time scoring points Friday at the Mustang Invitational hosted by Dallas Center-Grimes.

Skyler Koder once again had the team’s top finish, but the Mustangs mustered up just 28 points on the night and finished ninth out of 10

teams.

Gilbert had six wins and dominated the distance races in edging Carlisle in the team race.

The Tigers went 1-2 in th 800- and 1,600-meter runs and also won the 3,200 and 4x800 relay in scoring 141 points.

Carlisle was a close second with 137.5 points and host Dallas Center-Grimes had 92.5.

PCM also trailed Heart of Iowa Conference rival North Polk (60.5) and Saydel (35) but had

three more points than ADM of Adel.

Koder was fourth in the 110-meter high hurdles with a time of 16.26 seconds and he grabbed a sixth-place tally with a jump of 5 feet, 8 inches in the high jump.

Maverick McAtee ran the 3,200 for the first time this year and placed fifth with a time of 10:42.50.

Tyler Foster was fifth in the discus with a throw of 114-9, while Connor Warrick and Gunnar Davis both

threw 42-5 in the shot put and placed sixth and seventh, respectively.

The best relay finish came in the distance medley. The foursome of Ricky Reeve, Luke Greiner, Tyler Dredge and McAtee were sixth with a time of 3:56.85.

PCM girls soccer cruises past rival Raiders

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — It was a long road back for Jessica Albright. The Colfax-Mingo junior suffered a knee injury in the fall and had to miss the first part of the Tigerhawks’ track season and the Prairie City-Monroe’s soccer season.

Having been cleared a few weeks back, Albright is making the most of what time she has left this season with both teams.

Friday on PCM’s home pitch, Albright scored a goal and had an assist in the Mustangs’ 4-1 soccer win over Collins-Maxwell/Baxter.

And Albright is finally starting to feel like the injury is in her rear-view mirror.

“It’s been tough,” Albright said. “There have been a lot obstacles and I am getting used to it. I am not as afraid as I was when I first came back. Most of it was in my head and just being scared that someone might fall back into me. But hopefully there are a few more goals coming this season.”

PCM needed a bounceback effort after what coach Bill Sowder called a disappointing effort against Ballard on Tuesday.

The Mustangs lost that game 7-2 but dominated play against the Raiders on Friday.

“After the last game, we came down on them pretty hard,” Sowder said. “We worked on some controlling stuff and we demonstrated that in the game and were more aggressive, too. We also won a lot of balls, which are

“I was very pleased with the performance (Friday).”

PCM got a goal 9 minutes into Friday’s match by Aranda Woods and cruised from there.

Albright’s centering pass to the middle of the field almost 17 minutes later set up McK-

inzie Tjaden in front of the net and the junior put it past CMB goalkeeper Lexi Breon to make it 2-0.

The goal came 30 seconds after Breon preserved a 1-0 deficit with a big save in front of the net on a Kennah Walters shot attempt.

Continued from Page 1B Newton broke onto the scoreboard when Rausch headed a ball into the net at the 30:35 mark of the first half. The Cardinals controlled the game from the kick off, putting 30 shots on goal.

Senior Anna Barr moved up on the backside of the action and was there to boot in the ball, after it ricocheted off the corner post. Barr’s goal came with 10:39 left in the first half.

Following two failed attempts to score, the Cardinals got the ball in when junior Hannah Rhoads, Rausch and sophomore Kaytlin Ahn combined for a scoring opportunity. Ahn’s kick settled into the net past Jayette goalkeeper, Amparo Menendez, to put Newton up 3-0 at the 7:52 mark.

Freshman Anna Forsyth got past two Perry defenders and delivered a scoring strike to the net at the 2:02 mark. Newton owned a 4-0 lead at

Going right to work to open the second half, the Cardinals finished an offensive attack with a pass from junior Taylor Moon to junior Victoria Jordan for the goal two minutes into the action.

Rausch made it 6-0 on a goal at the 35.11 mark.

Sophomore Taylor Shipley’s goal 10 minutes later put the Cardinals in charge

of a 7-0 lead. Lamont was rotating players in throughout the game.

Leonard kicked in the final goal on the backside of the action with 11:03 left in the game.

“We had a lot of intentional and hard shots on goal tonight.

We got to switch it up with people playing in different positions again tonight,” Lamont said. “It was a good team effort.

We’re looking for-

ward to getting ready for our conference game at Oskaloosa on Tuesday.”

Moon was credited with two assists on the night. Forsyth, Rausch, Rhoads and Jordan each had one assist.

Freshman Addy Blom was in goal for a second straight varsity game. She had five saves. Sophomore starting goalkeeper Ashlee Freese is out with illness, Lamont said.

Newton’s junior varsity won 3-0 against Perry. Morgan Mann and Carter Lee scored goals in the first half and Lee added a goal in the second half. Blom played in goal for the junior varsity game.

PCM (4-8,1-1) outshot the Raiders 30-8 in the match.

“We’re learning a new system,” CMB coach Gary Cummings said. “The kids gave a good effort. They know

where the ball needs to go, but we need to just keep working to get better.”

Albright’s goal came 4:30 into the second half. She sent a shot from 25 yards out that went over Breon’s head, clipped the left post and bounced in.

Walters later made it 4-0 with a nice individual effort with 26:47 to play.

“They were a lot more focused today and controlled the ball better, which made a big difference,” Sowder said.

The best news of the night for CMB came with just less than 13 minutes to play.

Having not scored a goal yet this year, the Raiders ended that drought when Emily Coughenour took advantage of a charging McKeely Tjaden and sent the ball into the back of the empty net.

McKeely Tjaden, a freshman, wasn’t challenged much the rest of the night and she earned the win in goal. Breon took the loss despite making 15 saves.

“It shows them that it’s possible,” Cummings said of the Raiders’ first goal of the season. “We saw the keeper was coming out on a lot of balls so we told them at halftime that we wanted to make sure that we were shooting it to the net when that happened. That’s what Emily did.”

CMB (0-6. 0-4) hosts Class 1A No. 1 Nevada at 5:30 p.m. Monday. The Mustangs travel to Gilbert for a 5:30 p.m. match on Tuesday.

CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS 101 WEST 4TH STREET SOUTH Employee Relations The Committee Meeting of Newton, Iowa met at 5:15 P.M. on the above date in the Council Chambers located at 101 West 4th Street South. Present: Lin Chape', Chair and Committee members George, Mullan.

Absent: None Moved by Mullan, seconded by George, to approve the March 23, 2015 Employee Relations Committee Meeting Minutes.

NAYS: None.

AYES: Three.

Motion passed.

Erin Chambers, Director of Planning and Zoning, provided information to consider immediately filling the new parttime, 30 hours per week Code Enforcement Inspector position to be placed within the Planning and Zoning Department. City Council funded this position as part of the budgeting process for the upcoming fiscal year. The position will not only result in direct cost savings but will also eliminate the lost opportunity cost of having experienced workers pulled away from street crew duties. Because the position will result in cost savings, place street crew staff back onto road work, and allow the City to move a more proactive toward approach to enforcement, staff is requesting the City Council consider funding the position prior to July 1st.

Moved by Mullan, seconded by George to recommend approval to immediately fill the Code Enforcement Inspector position at the May 4, 2015 Council Meeting.

AYES: Three.

NAYS: None.

Motion passed.

Moved by Mullan, seconded by George to adjourn the meeting.

In Hollywood, it is generally accepted that no matter how much red-carpet excess goes into a party, the best part is what happens at the more intimate after-party.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Taking aim — Matt Bleakney is focused on the next target to fly during Saturday’s Newton Trap Team home meet at Jasper County Gun Club. Bleakney recorded his first perfect round — hitting 25 of 25 clay targets — on his way to a second-place finish in the meet.

Newton Trap Team tallies targets for second, third at home

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Standing tall with her male teammates is Newton’s Allison Winchell.

Winchell is the lone girl on the 2015 Newton Trap Team squad.

“You have to keep your mind clear when you’re shooting through all of it. You have to make sure you’re only focused on shooting, and if you do that, you’’ll shoot pretty good.”

Sophomore Allison Winchell is the lone girl on the Newton trap team this season. She said she’s been shooting guns since she was 7 years old, going hunting with her father.

“I got a turkey earlier this morning, then came to the meet,” Winchell said. “Being the only girl is actually a lot of fun. I enjoy being on the team. Hunting is my sport, and I enjoy shooting in competition, but I really am not concerned about my scores. I just love to shoot.”

Winchell said she’s also a cheerleader, but likes the sport of hunting.

“Trap shooting requires concentration, which is

something I like about it, plus the skill it takes to practice and compete in the sport. I do it for fun,” Winchell said.

Friday, the Newton Trap Team shot skeet and sporting clays against Pella, North Mahaska and Albia at Big Springs.

In skeet, Cook led Newton, hitting 41 out of 50 for 11th out of 35 shooters.

Trotter had the highest score for Newton in sporting clays, 42 out of 50 targets, for 11th out of 41 shooters.

“We continue to show improvement in both events,” Klein said.

Newton returns to Big Springs this coming Saturday for a trap shoot. Newton has one more home meet, May 23 in a dual with Baxter at the Jasper County Gun Club.

Gun fire filled the air Saturday at the Jasper County Gun Club. The Newton Trap Team hosted a five-team trap shoot, involving 100 boys and girls in high school and middle school divisions.

Grinnell won the high school division with a squad total of 221 targets broken out of 250. Newton’s Cardinals finished second and third. Other teams competing were BGM, Baxter and Centerville.

Juniors Conner McAdoo, Derek Damman and Bryce Romick combined with sophomores Clay Trotter and Evan Cook to hit 192 of 250 clay targets for second place.

Three targets back was the Newton squad of senior Contact Jocelyn Sheets at Jake Arrowood, sophomores 641-792-3121 ext. 6535 Logan Zaabel and Nathan or jsheets@newtondailynews.com Tremel, junior Matt Bleakney and sophomore Brian Bleakney with a score of 189.

“We had some team members post some of our best scores yet this season,” said Paul Klein, head coach of the Newton club. “I think the team members really wanted to shoot well today in front of our home crowd and it showed. I hope we can keep this going through the remainder of our season.”

Matt Bleakney shot his first perfect round — 25 of 25 targets — on his way to second place among male shooters in the high school division. He broke 47 out of 50 targets, just one target behind first-place finisher Dan McCamman of Grinnell.
