The grant is part of the Iowa Department of Transportation’s Iowa Living Roadways Project Program and will be used to beautify the entryway on the north

edge of Colfax. The board agreed to support the project with a letter of resolution and act as the financial conduit for receiving funding reimbursement for the grant.

Memberships, consulting fees add up for school district Board renews with Perspective Consulting

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Board members, observers and others fill the Emerson Hough building conference room before a recent Newton Community School District board of education meeting.

The board agreed Monday to renew its membership with Perspective Consulting Partners, LLC, or Urbandale.

“It seems like all of these services cost us about $15,000 a year.”

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Fifth Annual Choir Concert is set for Sunday at the First Presbyterian Church, 220 N. Second Ave. E., as a part of the Sundays at Four concert series. The combined choir concert features the First Presbyterian Chancel Choir, the Newton High School Varsity Chorale and the Central College Chamber Singers.

Each ensemble will perform their own selections before joining forces and singing several numbers together. Those include Gwyneth Walker’s “Crossing,” Haydn’s “Agnus Dei” and “Soon Ah Will Be Done.” The pieces will be accompanied by Sandy Smit and Marlys Grimm.

The First Presbyterian Chancel Choir is directed by Virginia Bennett, and the Newton High

School Varsity Choral is directed by Norm Grimm. Newton native Mark Babcock directs the Chamber Singers from Central College.

“It is a great collaboration of three distinct choirs — high school, college and church — bringing together people with a common love of the choral art and a common desire to share its joy and beauty in our world,” Babcock said.

This is the fifth year for the May concert featuring the three choirs. In years past, the groups have performed numbers such as Haydn’s classic “The Heavens Are Telling” from The Creation, Randall Stroope’s moving “Omnia Sol,” Hall Johnson’s timeless spiritual “Ain’ Got Time To Die” and John Rutter’s “The Lord Bless You and Keep You.” It has become an anticipated event for the church since it started in

2011.

“Norm Grimm and I share a connection to Central College as we are alumni. We also have supported each other’s programs in a variety of ways for the past several years. We are great professional colleagues,” Babcock said. “The music is stirring and eclectic. Everyone will enjoy the energy of over 75 singers coming together to share our passion for the choral art.”

The event is free to attend with guests giving what they desire during an offering. Refreshments will be served in the Fellowship Hall following the concert. The program is open to the public and all are invited to join in hearing the music from the three talented choirs.

Supervisors Continued from Page 1A Garrett said. “We believe that this project will greatly enhance the area leading into our new 480 acre park.”

The board questioned the location of the trees, wildflowers and prairie grass in relation to the right of ways.

Garrett said that there would be no trees blocking views and prairie grass and wildflowers would be planted in those areas.

The grant totals $20,000 and requires no money from the county. The auditors office would work as a conduit to reimburse the Colfax board for money they spent with money from the grant.

Maddox participated in the event with his cousins Thomas, Amber and Timothy, who are all Mayflower students. Karla Powers, administrator at Mayflower, said about 68 students — kindergarten through eighth grade — were part of this event, which is both a school fundraiser and lesson in bike safety and fitness. The event raised about $8,000.

Traveler

Continued from Page 1A by bands like the Grateful Dead and Led Zeppelin. The band released their first album, Blues Traveler, in May 1990 and followed it with Travelers & Thieves in September 1991.

In April 1993, Blues Traveler released their third album, Save His Soul, which became the band’s first to make the Top 100.

Blues Traveler’s aptly named fourth album, Four, released in September 1994, and in 1995, “Run-Around”

Dana Continued from Page 1A “This year we’re kind of combining the two. We asked for people from the community to donate items to the garage sale and we’re combining it with the barbecue,” Jodi King said.

A variety of items will be available to purchase from Christmas and holiday decorations to a patio furniture set, exercise equipment and grills. There will be a little bit of something for everyone, along with the delicious barbecue provided by Jeff King himself.

The Kings are also raising money for the Great Strides walk May 16 at Raccoon River Park in Des Moines. The

became the group’s first Billboard hit. The song was one of the biggest singles of 1995 and sent Four into quintuple platinum status. “Run Around” also earned Blues Traveler the 1995 Grammy for “Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal.”

The new millennium saw a rejuvenated Blues Traveler, and their sixth record, Bridge, appeared in May 2001. In March 2012, the band released 25, a two-disc set celebrating the group’s 25th anniversary.

Three years later, Blues Traveler has returned with “Blow Up the Moon,” an album filled

with collaborations from pop stars including Jewel, Hanson, Plain White T’s and JC Chasez.

Blues Traveler will hit the Pork Party Pavilion stage, overlooking Turn 4, approximately one hour after the conclusion of the 150-lap ARCA Racing Series presented by Menards on July 17. The concert will be free-of-charge to fans with a ticket to either the July 17 ARCA race or July 18 IndyCar Series Iowa Corn 300.

For tickets, call 1-866-RUSTY-GO or visit www.IowaSpeedway.com.

3.2 mile walk benefits the foundation and provides an opportunity for people within the CF community to get friends and family involved in the cause. The Kings are over two-thirds of the way to their goal of $10,000 but always welcome donations of any size.

“The disease is rather rare and doesn’t qualify for any federal funding for research so all of the donations and funding come from private sources,” Jodi King said.

Cystic Fibrosis is a life-threatening disease that affects the respiratory and digestive systems. There have been “great strides” in the past few years in developing new drugs and therapies for the treatment of CF and all are funded directly by the

foundation.

Dana Ceretti, their daughter, was diagnosed with the disease at 4 month old and after years of fighting, the mother of one died at the age of 30. To continue honoring their daughter’s legacy, the Kings stay very involved in fundraising for the foundation, hosting the sale and co-chairing the Wine Opener fundraising event November.

To support Team Dana in their fight to find a cure, go to www.cff.org/greatstrides, click on “Find a Walker” and search for Jeff King. There, you can make a donation or continue and sign up to walk at Great Strides.

The Urbandale-based consulting firm helps the district shop the market for health, optical and dental insurance rates, and offers guidance with what NCSD Director of Business Services Gayle Isaac called “a wide variety of questions and choices regarding group health insurance and other benefit packages.”

Isaac said Perspective normally charges $30,000 annually as a base consulting fee. However, he is in regular contact with Perspective’s staff and said he was able to obtain a discount rate for Newton Schools. The board packet for Monday’s meeting contained a pricing sheet titled “Newton Community School District” that included a base price of $15,000 for basic consultation services.

At its April 13 meeting, the board voted to approve two annual memberships. NCSD will spend $9,182 on its 201516 membership with the Iowa Association of School Boards and $2,802.50 Iowa School Finance Information Services.

While these amounts are small in a heavily categorized and earmarked district budget that will total about $39 million in expenditures next year, all costs add up, and give board members pause to examine each one. This is especially true in years such as 2015-16, as Newton and other districts have assumed zero additional state aid with the Iowa legislature deadlocked on state aid.

Elbert asked if any of the support organizations offer any overlap in services, or if some are redundant. Isaac said the IASB offers insurance information, but it isn’t the same as bringing in a specialist such as Perspective.

“The IASB has insurance information, but they just kind of shoot it out there,” Isaac said. “Perspective has a much more personal touch.”

Isaac said Perspective has

County Auditor Dennis Parrot suggested passing a resolution when the time comes to make the auditor’s office the fiscal agent as it is with other organizations such as the courthouse lighting fund and veterans memorial for money that is not actually the counties but the county handles.

The board also approved applying for the EMS Systems Development Grant for fiscal year 2016. Rex Heisdorffer of emergency management said the amount of the grant this is $11,909, similar to what was received in recent years.

Contact Jamee A. Pierson at 641-792-3121 ext. 6534 or jpierson@newtondailynews.com

“made money” for Newton staff members, not in terms of actual dividends, but in terms of helping keep employee premiums at or close to the same levels as a prior contract year.

Perspective is not a broker and doesn’t work off commissions, so there is incentive to provide Newton with a wide variety of choices, rather than promote any expensive health plans.

Isaac said the staff has been very helpful and responsive within the past couple of years that he’s been with the Newton district. He mentioned several Perspective employees by their first names only, and he praised the firm for its knowledge and help with the Affordable Care Act regulations, which he called “a nightmare.”

Superintendent Bob Callaghan wasn’t at Monday’s meeting, as he was in Pella at the Little Hawkeye Conference track and field meet, watching his son compete.

Isaac said the district is almost at the point where the district can “self-insure” and shop for insurance plans on its own, and said he’s ready to try that with dental plans only in a year or so.

However, he cautioned, making that jump with all three major areas of medical benefits (medical, optical and dental) is a large commitment that must be well-planned.

The board will hold a regular meeting May 18 and will host an open public budget amendment meeting May 26. Both meetings will be at Emerson Hough.

Board member Robyn Friedman drew some laughs from many in the room when pointing out what level of organization self-insuring might entail.

“I think we’ll at least need an inspired insurance committee before we’ll be inspired to self-insure,” she said.

Babbling Brooks

Four oldest TV networks light years behind

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | May 6, 2015

Flipping through TV channels on a recent weeknight, it became painfully obvious how voluminous the televised world has become.

Or, maybe the word invented to describe network prime-time shows these days would be “vomitous.”

While there are a handful of good-intentioned comedy writers involved with one of the big four networks, the boring parade of police or first-responder dramas, sitcoms and so-called reality shows is too much to even glance at in a TV guide, much less actually watch for an hour.

As much as I detest the NBA, it turns out playoff basketball is far better entertainment than shows that seemed to be produced by exerting the absolute least amount of creative effort possible.

Two programs that have received plenty of free publicity from Iowa media outlets this year are “The Bachelor” and “The Apprentice.”

“The Bachelor” is the show that manages to degrade both women and men simultaneously — although it accomplishes the feat of

degrading women on many levels.

The production cost $50,000 to film an episode filmed in and near Santa Fe. When it aired, the name of the city was misspelled, and it included monologues with the bachelorettes about an expected beach that wasn’t there (Santa Fe is more than 700 miles from any oceans).

“I’ve never even been out of the country before,” said a stereotyped blonde Bachelor “contestant.”

These shows, along with winners like “Stalker” — yet another cop drama about creepy men — should make people yawn, yet the networks continue to pour money into these regurgitations.

There seems little logic, to me, in how the four older, more established networks decide which shows to leave around, and which ones to turn into another cliché on the scrap pile. After announcing last year the “The Mentalist” was entering its final season, CBS pulled the plug on the somewhat successful show in February, with “The Stalker” becoming a much more shoddy replacement.

The bottom lines of Fox, NBC

and ABC and CBS can be calculated different ways, and revenue and expense looked at sideways, so there is no real pattern. Some would say there is little point worrying about what’s on any four networks when cable satellite and the Internet provide so many choices — but it’s a little saddening to see established industry leaders fall so far behind.

I was never able to get into “Breaking Bad” or “Better Call Saul,” even though I recognized most of the New Mexico backgrounds used for shooting on location. The shows make the Land of Enchantment look like a terrible, lawless place. However, these AMC cable network programs are far superior to anything offered up lately by the big four.

Maybe I am aging away from TV completely. Even playoff hockey — involving my own team — can’t keep me awake sometimes. Staying awake late enough to see my Washington Capitals win an east-coast playoff game against the hated New York Islanders seems a tall task some nights.

Watching the big four, with all their resources, fall so far behind teams that are armed only with good writers is a dreary and frustrating reflection on a lack of creativity in society. Detroit automakers, corrupt Wall Street hierarchy and the lack of organic products available are honest business miscalculations, but there’s no excuse for veteran artists being beaten at their own game.

This is clearly a first-world problem. There is greater sadness in Afghanistan, Nepal, the Ukraine and Baltimore than there is on network television.

Maybe I am too stuck on how all the talent was horded by three networks back in, say, the fall of 1978. That’s when ABC’s Tuesday night was a killer lineup of “Happy Days,” “Laverne & Shirley,” “Three’s Company,” “Taxi” and “Starsky and Hutch.”

It would be nice to see the big four make a comeback. It would make things interesting.

The new lynch mob

State View

Iowa is 18th state to enact ‘Kelsey Smith Act’ In 2007, a young 18-year-old Kansas woman by the name of Kelsey Smith was abducted from a shopping mall in broad daylight.

Her parents, Greg and Missey Smith, along with local police, begged their cell phone company to hand over the “ping” records that would help pinpoint the

By Greg location of her cell Heartsill phone, and more Iowa than likely locate Representative Kelsey herself.

For a variety of legal and liability reasons, the cell phone company refused to release the cell phone location records without a court ordered directive.

It took law enforcement four days to secure the proper warrant to gain access to Kelsey’s cell phone location. Within 45 minutes of obtaining those records, local authorities located Kelsey’s body.

This past summer, I was introduced to Kelsey’s story by Marion County Sheriff Jason Sandholdt, who made the case for law enforcement needing access to such re-

cords when there is a risk or threat of death or serious physical harm of a missing person.

As with all well-intentioned ideas that are pitched to the legislature, this issue would need to be vetted sufficiently to avoid any unintended consequences. We would need to make sure that adequate legislative “guard rails” were in place in order to protect the civil liberties of Iowans and ensure that this new law could not be abused by either law enforcement or the citizenry.

With those concerns in mind and recognizing the need to balance public safety with our constitutional rights, I introduced House File 54 early in the 2015 Session, which eventually became House File 447 after being passed out of the House Public Safety Committee.

In addition to providing law enforcement the necessary tools to track down a person in the event of an abduction, this bill also holds cell phone service providers harmless when they are acting in good faith to accommodate a law enforcement request to “ping” a cell phone location when searching for a missing person in imminent

danger. The legislation makes sure that every emergency request for a cell phone location is properly documented and provides for penalties should an emergency request be invoked for a non-emergency situation.

With unanimous support in the Iowa Senate and near-unanimous support in the Iowa House, I was honored to have been alongside Kelsey’s parents, Kansas State Senator Greg and Missey Smith, when Gov. Branstad signed this bill into law on May 1. Iowa became the 18th state in the country to have enacted this legislation, also known as the “Kelsey Smith Act.” I am grateful that we were able to alleviate many of the aforementioned concerns early on and that this bill was able to make it through the process in just one Session. I am also very thankful — despite the many shortcomings of government in general and the Iowa Legislature in particular — that we were able to work in such a strong bipartisan fashion to pass this important law designed to safeguard the public.

On Sunday, Democratic Maryland State Senator Catherine Pugh lavished praise o n s t a t e ’s attorn e y Mari l y n Mosby, w h o j u s t By Ben Shapiro d a y s before announced that her office would file a bevy of charges against all six officers involved in the death of 25-yearold Freddie Gray. Gray’s death drove protests and riots throughout Baltimore, serving as the spark to ignite local rage, and focusing national attention on the state of inner city black Americans.

Pugh said that Mosby “really set the bar for the nation in terms of how these sorts of cases ought to be looked at.”

Pugh wasn’t Mosby’s only conspicuous fan.

Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., who has represented the failing city of Baltimore for decades, said, “Her integrity is impeccable without a doubt.” The widow of Eric Garner, the New York City man who died after police officers used a submission hold on him, said, “I feel like the same scenario that happened in Baltimore also happened with my husband. I would just like to see something done.” Race-baiter and riot-stoker extraordinaire Al Sharpton stated, “We cannot keep playing Russian roulette on whether or not we get a good prosecutor or not.” Crowds in Baltimore reportedly celebrated Mosby’s indictment of the officers. The Huffington Post called her “objectively badass.”

Fusion called her “America’s favorite prosecutor.”

What, exactly, did Mosby do to earn such plaudits? She announced that she would charge the six officers, three of whom were black; she did so

without laying out a compelling narrative supporting the charges brought (failing to buckle a seatbelt does not amount to either manslaughter or second-degree murder); she brought the charges while simultaneously pandering to the rioters, stating, “I heard your calls of no justice, no peace. ...

To the youth of this city, I will seek justice on your behalf. This is a moment.

This is your moment. ... As young people, our time is now.”

If that sounds more like a campaign speech than an announcement of charges, that’s because it is a campaign speech. Mosby was elected in January 2015 as the youngest district attorney in America; she reportedly has aspirations to higher office. Before her election, she publicly questioned the jury verdict in the George Zimmerman case and cast racial aspersions on the prosecutor who refused to file charges against Officer Darren Wilson (even Eric Holder’s Department of Justice found Wilson’s actions against Michael Brown justifiable). Furthermore, Mosby’s husband, Nick Mosby, has excused rioting while serving as a Baltimore city councilman. Mosby’s prosecution of the case amounts to a serious conflict of interest.

But even were Mosby not personally compromised by the political issues surrounding the case, mob justice seems to be running amok. When Sharpton, Cummings and the rest demand “justice,” they aren’t demanding justice: They’re demanding the heads of police officers, without supporting evidence. In Ferguson, the narrative of the murder of Michael Brown trumped the facts of the case; Sharpton, Cummings and the rest still cite Brown’s death in their litany of instances of police brutality.

THE BORN LOSER

FAMILY CIRCUS

Melodramatic serial should be canceled, not renewed

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of 10 years, “Scott,” and I separated last year. I was pregnant and hormonal at the time, and told him we would never get back together. We went a month without contact, then reconnected.

While Scott was in the process of working things out with me, he had a girlfriend. He made it seem like not a big deal, but apparently it was more serious. He told her she was the love of his life and he didn’t want to lose her, etc. When our daughter was born five months later, he told me he was done with the other woman. They talked for a month after our baby arrived and then he cut her off.

I recently found some old messages between them, and my heart shattered all over again. Scott says it was all a joke and he never meant any of it. The text messages imply otherwise.

I don’t know if I should take another break to clear my head, or wait until my heartache passes. Please help. — EMOTIONAL IN THE SOUTH DEAR EMOTIONAL: If you were convinced that Scott has been completely honest, I doubt you would have searched his message history.

As to his relationship with the other woman being a “joke,” I doubt she was laughing when — after hearing she was the love of his life and he didn’t want to lose her — he announced it was over.

You appear to like drama. You brought this on when you told Scott the two of you would “never” reconcile.

I do think you should take a break until you are less emotional, because the choices you have made so far haven’t been entirely rational.

DEAR ABBY: I live on soft drinks.

I don’t eat real food. I can’t remember the last time I ate a hot meal, much less vegetables. I exist solely on massive amounts of soda — two two-liter bottles a day. If I put food in my stomach,

it’s usually bread or candy.

I don’t binge and purge. Because I’m never hungry, I don’t look at it as starving myself. The last time I tried to get off the soda I got sick to my stomach, light-headed and felt out of sorts.

I don’t know if I’m addicted to the caffeine, the sugar or both. I want to be able to go to a restaurant on a date and eat like a normal person.

I don’t know what to do or how to do it. This liquid diet is slowly killing me and I need help. I have expressed my concerns to my doctors and even my therapist. I don’t think they believe me or understand the extent of my problem. What would you suggest? — STUCK IN SOUTH CAROLINA DEAR STUCK: It appears you have an eating disorder. Because your doctor and your therapist both seem unable to understand that and help you, consider replacing them. You should also consult a licensed nutritionist who is a registered dietitian (R.D.).

Caffeine and sugar withdrawal can both cause the symptoms you describe.

Neither withdrawal is “fun,” and both can cause headaches and more. You may have to wean yourself rather than quit cold turkey, and a nutritionist can help you to create a personalized eating program that’s right for you.

1 Voters reject plan for $13.8M Marshalltown police building

MARSHALLTOWN — Marshalltown voters have rejected a proposal to build a police department building at a cost of about $13.8 million. The Marshall County Auditor/Recorder office said Tuesday that nearly 65 percent of the voters said no to the plan, versus more than 35 percent who wanted the building erected. The turnout was nearly 21 percent. Police Chief Michael Tupper has said the current building has structural and technological deficiencies

FORT DODGE — A Fort Dodge man has been sentenced to up to 20 years in prison after pleading guilty to biting a police detective and assaulting a woman. Jeramy Smith, 36, was sentenced Monday. He entered a guilty plea in February to willful injury causing serious injury, assault on a peace officer with intent to inflict serious injury and assault causing serious injury. Police say Smith assaulted a woman with a knife in May 2014 and bit a Fort Dodge police detective.

The Muscatine County Sheriff ’s Office says 35-yearold William J. “Billy” Clevenger and his horse died Monday night when they were struck by lightning near Moscow in rural Muscatine County.

Both men were taken to a Muscatine hospital, where Jenkins was treated and then released and Clevenger was pronounced dead.

DES MOINES — Iowa agriculture officials say three additional Iowa poultry farms show signs of the presence of bird flu including two more turkey farms in Buena Vista County, raising the number in the county to 10. A Sioux County egg-laying operation with 60,000 chickens also appears to have the virus. Testing is underway to confirm the disease. The farms experienced an unusual number of bird deaths, prompting an initial test which indicated presence of the H5N2 virus.

5 County borrows $865,000 for technology projects

SIOUX CITY — The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors in Iowa has borrowed $865,000 to pay for high-tech equipment and building improvements.

The board approved issuing a capital loan note on Tuesday for money to be spent in the current fiscal year. The money will be used to pay for several projects including a new roof at the Prairie Hills jail annex east of Sioux City.

Branstad seeks to change unusual abortion policy The Associated Press DES MOINES — Gov. Terry Branstad wants to halt a policy adopted two years ago that threatened to put him in the unusual position of having to sign off on payments for every Medicaid-funded abortion in the state.

A spokesman for the Republican governor said Tuesday that Branstad’s proposed Health and Human Services budget doesn’t include that provision, which was developed in a compromise health

care deal by the Democratic-led Senate and Republican-controlled House. At the time, conservatives hoped the requirement would limit the public dollars spent on abortion by putting more scrutiny on the conservative anti-abortion governor.

The policy effectively halted Medicaid payments for abortion in Iowa because medical providers simply stopped submitting claims. A spokesman for the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics — where most of these procedures have

been done in past years — said last year that the university wanted to stay out of the politics surrounding the issue.

Iowa’s Medicaid program previously paid for only a small number of abortions each year.

Federal guidelines require the state to pay in cases of rape, incest and to save the mother’s life. Iowa’s program also covered some cases of fetal deformity.

The policy impacts reimbursements after the abortions, not authorizing the procedures ahead of time. Branstad

spokesman Jimmy Centers said the governor sought the change because Branstad hasn’t been asked to approve any reimbursements.

The University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics have performed 34 procedures since July 1, 2013, that would otherwise have been billed to Medicaid, spokesman Tom Moore said. The average cost of such a procedure is $961.

Rep. Matt Windschitl, R-Missouri Valley, said anti-abortion conservatives in the House will continue to seek a

way to ensure that public funds don’t go to abortions.

“We’re looking at ways to achieve the same goal maybe in a different fashion with language,” he said. “We want to make sure that taxpayer dollars are not being used for the morally unconscionable procedure of abortion.”

Sen. Amanda Ragan, D-Mason City, said the Senate is using the language recommended by the governor, but expects more negotiation. She said the current policy has “politicized” this issue.

Eminent domain legislation advances in Iowa Senate The Associated Press

AP Photo Paul Meyer works to remove graffiti from rocks at Horseshoe Bluff in Mines of Spain on Monday in Dubuque.

Volunteers work to scrub away graffiti from park’s rocks The Associated Press DUBUQUE — Volunteers are helping clean up the Mines of Spain State Recreation Area, where vandals extensively spray-painted rock formations.

Park ranger Wayne Buchholtz said the vandalism occurred on rocks in areas that aren’t easily accessible and that it was among the worst graffiti incidents at the state park in some time.

Paul and Sandy Meyer often take hikes in the

park at least once per week in honor of their daughter, Lauren, who died in March.

“This was her favorite spot, so we like to come out here and think about her,” Paul Meyer said.

After hearing about the recent vandalism in the park, they decided to volunteer along with others on Monday to help clean the rocks by using wire brushes and paint remover. They plan to scrub away the remaining graffiti Friday.

Buchholtz said they

have a list of possible suspects behind the vandalism. He says he’ll investigate further and speak with the Dubuque County Attorney’s Office about possible charges.

“You just (wonder) why people have to do something like this,” Buchholtz said. “I think it’s more frustrating for those people that come out here and want to use the park in the right way and enjoy nature, and they have to look at this.”

DES MOINES — Legislation that would make it harder for two energy projects to win eminent domain rights passed another legislative hurdle in the Iowa Senate on Tuesday.

The Senate Government Oversight Committee approved the bill. Under the proposal, a project seeking eminent domain to build through private properties could get permission only after negotiating voluntary deals for at least 75 percent of the affected land.

Sen. Rob Hogg, D-Cedar Rapids, said the bill was an effort to address eminent domain for non-pub-

lic entities. He said he did not expect a vote by the full Senate before next week. A similar bill is moving through the state House, said Rep. Bobby Kaufmann, R-Wilton.

The proposed change could affect two current proposals that are before the Iowa Utilities Board.

One would build an oil pipeline that would ship 450,000 barrels daily from production sites in North Dakota to an oil hub in Illinois. The other would build an electrical line across 16 Iowa counties that would transmit wind-generated energy from Iowa to customers in the Midwest and East Coast.

Both projects are try-

ing to negotiate settlements with landowners, though eminent domain might be sought. The Iowa Utilities Board is reviewing both proposals and no hearing dates have been set.

Landowners questioned both projects during a hearing last week. On the pipeline, they cited possible harm to farmland and the threat of spills, and they wondered whether private companies should have access to local land for energy projects that won’t directly benefit Iowa households.

Lobbyists stressed the companies were trying to make reasonable deals with landowners and added that the projects could create jobs in Iowa.

Iowa lawmaker: Panel to make changes to broadband bill The Associated Press DES MOINES — An Iowa Senate panel will propose changes to Gov. Terry Branstad’s broadband expansion bill to ensure it clearly focuses on areas of the state with no highspeed Internet, the panel’s chairwoman said Tuesday.

Sen. Janet Petersen

said the bill needs work following the Senate Ways and Means subcommittee’s meeting.

The Des Moines Democrat was particularly critical of a grant program that was stripped of $5 million in state dollars earlier in the session. The program, which will now be funded through private and federal money, is

supposed to help service providers with the often-costly process of adding broadband infrastructure.

“I don’t see this bill moving without an amendment,” Petersen said. She then added: “I guess I’m interested to see, is this really going to help us connect Iowans? I want to spend some more time with (the bill).”

Skiff trustee receives IHA education certification

In celebration of National Nurses Week, Iowa attorney offers book for free Newton Daily News May 6-12 is National Nurses Week and to recognize the efforts of the more than 50,000 nurses in Iowa, attorney Corey Walker has written a new book entitled “Iowa Nurses Employment Guide” that he is offering free to Iowa Nurses.

Walker decided to write his book and offer it for free because his grandmother Lucille Walker was a registered nurse, and his grandfather Jesse Walker was a doctor; so, he knows what life is like as a nurse. Also, he has represented hundreds of Iowa nurses and wanted them to have a resource they could turn to before

making a costly mistake.

“I wrote the book because Iowa nurses play a very important role in our society and they should have information about their rights and responsibilities at work. This is a step in the right direction to educate Iowa nurses to help them avoid making costly mistakes not knowing if the FMLA applies to them, etc.,” Walker said.

Iowa Nurses Employment Guide — The A to Z Nursing Handbook is available at no cost to Iowa nurses (RN, LPN, ARNP and CNA), during the month of May at www. lowaNurseGuide.com or by calling 800-298-5045.

Skiff board member Lois Vogel has been named among a group of 51 Iowa hospital trustees who are the latest graduates of the Iowa Hospital Ass o c i a t i o n’s Trustee Education Certification Program.

The trustVogel ees were recogniz ed on April 10 at the IHA Governance Forum held at the Hilton Garden Inn in West Des

Moines.

“Every hospital needs engaged, informed and vital board members to function as an integral part of the hospital leadership team,” Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital CEO Steve Baumer, of Council Bluffs, and a member of the IHA Board said. “To help make that happen, IHA launched its Trustee Education Certification Program in 2010.

As of today, more than 100 trustees have completed the program.”

Through this certification program, IHA has provided a framework to support Iowa hospitals in developing highly-effec-

tive board members. Goals of the program include: helping hospitals use governance best practices; promoting the coordination of care and the best use of resources; demonstrating to community stakeholders that Iowa hospitals are dedicated to accountability; and transparency and are governed at the highest level of excellence.

The Iowa Hospital Association is a voluntary membership organization representing hospital and health system interests to business, government and consumer audiences.

Honor the nurse in your life with one of these great gifts Newton Daily News If there’s one surefire secret to success for choosing a gift for the nurse in your life, it’s this: Think pampering. Nurses spend nearly all of their working life on their feet, bending, lifting, twisting and turning — and all in service of others. So when it’s time to show some appreciation for all that he or she does every day, a gift of self-nurturing will go a long way. Here are some easy gift solutions that are sure to be appreciated.

Spa services — Give the gift of relaxation and rejuvenation. A certificate for a massage, facial or even a mani-pedi will no doubt be received with a smile. Feeling especially generous? Consider gifting a day of services at a local spa.

Pampering products — Take a gift basket, head to your local drug store, grocery chain or specialty retailer and fill it with an array of soothing and beautifying products. Great ideas include shower gel, bath salts, body lotion, facial moisturizers and a bath sponge.

The gift of time — Nurses are caregivers whose work lives revolve around the needs of others, so the gift of time can be the most special present of all. If the special nurse in your life needs some time to rest, refresh and revive, think about showering her or him with a day or even a weekend of nothingness. Clear the calendar.

Turn off the phone. Take over the cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping and errands.

Hobby basket — Often nurses need to be reminded to take care of themselves and

Happy Nurses Day!

to do the things they enjoy. If your favorite nurse has a forgotten hobby or dormant interest, renew his or her focus with a basket filled with items.

For crafters, a set of new supplies might rekindle a lost interest, while for the nurse who loves to get lost in a good book a selection of new magazines or books by a favorite author can spark a renewed interest in reading.

Happy feet — Practical gifts can also be pampering, and fornurses, the most practical gift could be a new pair of

super-comfortable, ultra-supportive work shoes or some snazzy new scrubs. Consider a gift certificate to a local retailer or an online specialty clothing or footwear site.

Nice necessities — If you’re shopping for a recent nursing school graduate, you can’t go wrong with a gift certificate to a medical supply retailer or items such as an easy-to-read watch with a second hand. A roomy, insulated lunch bag and water bottle or a current drug reference guide also makes a great and practical gift.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Oskaloosa goalkeeper Ben Boston (00) gambled on the play and paid for it as there’s nothing he can do but watch as Newton High’s Nick Rusk (9) kicks the ball into the goal in the first half of Tuesday night’s Little Hawkeye Conference game. Rusk’s goal put the Cardinals up 2-0 and they went on to beat the visitng Indians, 3-0, at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

Cardinals shut down Indians in LHC play

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Mike McCormick, a senior, who had been sitting on the sidelines the past few weeks because of a foot injury, was back on the soccer field Tuesday night for Newton High’s Cardinals. And he scored his first goal of the season in the 3-0 victory over visiting Oskaloosa’s Indians.

McCormick’s goal came off a Cardinal corner kick with 16:51 left in the game.

The Cardinals led the Indians 2-0 at halftime of the Little

Hawkeye Conference contest.

Reese Rosenquist placed a pass right to Josh Ventling for the first goal of the night.

It came with 26:25 remaining in the first half. Junior Nick Rusk netted his first goal of the season at the 10-minute mark for Newton.

“Josh called off his teammates and calmly slid the ball through, past the keeper,” said Sackda Viravong, Newton head coach. “Nick was in the right place at the right time.”

Oskaloosa’s goalkeeper Ben Boston came out of goal to stop an attack, but the ball

was kicked to his left. All Boston could do is watch as Rusk delivered the kick, sending the ball into the net.

“It was nice to get a win.

It was a well-deserved victory for the team after the adversity of last week,” Viravong said. “The kids worked hard all over the field.”

The adversity is the loss of senior defender Brock Southern. He suffered a broken right leg in a game at ADM. Viravong said Southern’s departure left a big hole in the middle of the Cardinal defense.

“Tonight, we moved kids

around to different positions,” he said. “Dalton Nevels took over Brock’s stopper position.

We moved Maison Gray up from the junior varsity to take Dalton’s outside back position. He did a good job in his first varsity competition.”

Viravong said Nevels played well as center defender and was involved in several counter attacks by the Cardinals. Nevels took some shots at the goal, he said.

Newton had 17 shots on goal and nine corner kick opportunities. Grant Davidson, who has 109 saves on

the season, was credited with three saves against Oskaloosa.

Ventling has 11 goals on the season to lead the team.

With the victory, the Cardinals improved to 6-5 overall and 2-2 in conference play.

Newton faces Gilbert in the first round of Saturday’s tournament at Nevada.

Newton’s junior varsity won 3-0 against Oskaloosa Tuesday. No details on goals were available at press time.

Woodland Park to host Midwest Conference tournament game Newton Daily News Woodland Park will be the site of a Midwest Conference tournament game later this week.

South Division No. 2 seed Cornell College will take on North Division No. 1 seed Ripon College (Wisc.) at 9 a.m. Friday, according to Newton

varsity baseball coach Dustin Brisel.

Grinnell College is the host site for the tournament but contacted Brisel about using Newton’s field because Grinnell only has one field with lights. As of now, the Cornell-Ripon game is the only one to be played in Newton.

Cubs squander lead, lose 7-4 to Cardinals

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’s John Trettin smashes a return shot during his No. 1 singles match against visiting Des Moines East Tuesday at Aurora Park. The Cardinal boys got their dual in, but the Cardinal girls’ tennis team was rained out at Des Moines East Tuesday. No results from the boys’ competition were available at press time.

Hosmer’s homer sends Royals past Indians KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jason Vargas never let Michael Brantley’s two-run homer in the first inning get to him.

After all, it was a good pitch that the Indians outfielder hit.

Instead, Vargas relied on his experience, accuracy and veteran guile to keep Cleveland off balance the rest of the night, and

Eric Hosmer rewarded him by belting a three-run homer of his own that helped lift the Kansas City Royals to a 5-3 victory Tuesday night.

“The pitch that Brantley hit wasn’t a bad pitch,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He was trying to go with a sinker and he got it in, and Brantley just hit a great pitch.”

Jason Kipnis was the only other Indians player to do that against Vargas (3-1) through six innings. Along with allowing two hits, Vargas struck out five in a dominant performance.

“That was big, to keep them there, give the offense a chance to ROYALS | 8B

ST. LOUIS (AP) — For the second straight game, the Chicago Cubs squandered a nice lead. Once again, there was not enough pitching, especially against a team off to the best start in the majors.

“We have to do a better job of holding leads,” manager Joe Maddon said after the Cubs couldn’t hold a three-run lead and lost their fourth straight, 7-4 to the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night. “It’s pretty simple stuff.

“That middle part of the game is something we’ve got to get better with.”

Pinch-hitter Mark Reynolds doubled off

the wall in center field to snap a tie in the sixth inning and the Cardinals won their eighth straight.

Matt Carpenter of St. Louis tied the game with a threerun homer off Kyle Hendricks in the fifth and finished with four RBIs. “He’s one of their best hitters and he’s one of the best hitters in the league right now, too,” Hendricks said. “Tough guy to get out, and I’ve just got to make good pitches to him and I didn’t make a good pitch.

“Can’t make bad pitches to him.”

Abreu headlines NASCAR’s class of ‘Next’ stars CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Rico Abreu, the reigning USAC national champion and winner of this year’s Chili Bowl, was among the 12 drivers named to NASCAR’s latest “Next” class on Tuesday.

The Next program, which is designed to spotlight NASCAR’s emerging stars, has included in its previous four classes 2014 Sprint Cup rookie of the year Kyle Larson and reigning Xfinity Series champion Chase Elliott. The class also includes for a second year Cole Custer, who became NASCAR’s youngest national winner last season at age 16 with his Truck Series victory at New Hampshire.

Of the 28 drivers who have previously been part of the Next program, 21 have competed in one of NASCAR’s three national series and 11 are currently fulltime NASCAR drivers.

The class is selected through an evaluation process that includes input from industry executives and veteran racers.

Drivers must be between the ages of 15 and 25 and have demonstrated potential and desire to reach the Sprint Cup Series. They must also be actively competing in a NASCAR touring or weekly series.

Joining Abreu in the class this year: — Nicole Behar, a 17-year-old from Washington who tied the series record for highest finish by a female driver in the K&N West Series with a second-place mark at Irwindale Event Center.

— Kyle Benjamin, a 17-year-old from South Carolina who is a development driver for Roush Fenway Racing.

— James Bickford, a 17-year-old from California who was the K&N West rookie of the year last season.

PCM soccer gets swept by rival Gilbert

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News GILBERT — Olivia Stearns scored two goals and assisted on Gilbert’s third as the Class 1A No. 14 Tigers won their third straight match with a 3-0 win over Prairie City-Monroe on Tuesday night.

Gilbert led 1-0 at halftime before putting the win away with a pair of goals in the final 40 minutes. Molly Laws had the other goal for the Tigers, who are now 8-2 overall and 2-1 in Heart of Iowa Conference play.

PCM’s defense played well, according to coach Bill Sowder, but the Mustangs struggled to score on Gilbert’s home pitch.

“The defense was great, they are starting to catch on to what we want to do,” Sowder said. “I was very pleased with the effort overall. We are improving.”

Dakota Hostetter missed the match because of a Colfax-Mingo band obligation and Aranda Woods did not play because she was ill.

“It showed. Those are two of our best offensive players,” Sowder said. “We had some offensive attacks, but we just couldn’t get it going completely.”

Erin Kimle played all 80 minutes in goal for Gilbert and earned the win.

PCM girls take third at North Polk

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News ALLEMAN — Four girls’ track and field programs eclipsed the 100-point barrier in Tuesday’s meet at North Polk. And those four schools were separated by 21.5 points.

Prairie City-Monroe coach Bridget Martin admitted a few things didn’t go the Mustangs’ way, but they still locked up 11 top-three finishes and the 117 points they scored helped them claim a third-place finish.

Indianola (127.5) edged host North Polk (126) by 1.5 points to win the team title.

The Mustangs scored 11 more points than Gilbert (106).

South Hamilton placed fifth with 70 points, and Saydel (69.5), Perry (56) and Carroll (46) rounded out the eightteam field.

“We had some things go our way, but we also didn’t have a few things go our way,” Martin said. “We feel like we had the potential to do even better.”

Highlighting the night for PCM was Baylee Smith, who won her first-ever individual varsity race. She crossed the line first in the 3,000-meter run with a time of 12 minutes, 10.30 seconds.

Ashley Van Gorp was part of two PCM wins. She won the open 200 with a season-best time of 27.15 seconds. She also ran the 400 leg of the distance medley relay and helped that foursome, which also included Mackenzie Clarke, Emily Hugen and Rachel Peter, win first in a new season-best time of 4:25.58.

Peter won the final individual title. She broke the tape in the 1,500 with a time of 5:06.32.

The team also finished second five times.

Two of those silver medals were claimed by Jayci Vos. She was runner-up in both the 100 and the 400 hurdles. She finished her 100 in a season-best time of 13.46 seconds and ended her 400 hurdles race in 1:08.33.

Rachel Stafford claimed

two medals, too. She was second in the 800 with a time of 2:30.93 and ended up third in the 400 in 63.44.

“We had multiple girls outlean other runners at the finish line to get those extra points,” Martin said. “Our girls continue to work together as a team and reach our goal of placing in the top three. We are getting to the crucial time of the season. Now we need to shine.”

Grace Telfer also claimed a bronze medal. She was third in the shot put with a toss of 36 feet, 1.25 inches.

The 4x100 and 4x400 relay teams were second.

Ashley Miller, Vos, Hugen and Clarke finished the 4x100 in 54.82 seconds. The 4x400 relay foursome included Stafford, Peter, Vos and Van Gorp and they crossed in 4:12.79.

Tatum Schnug, Mackenzie Messick, Taylor Burns and Josie Hare were part of the winning JV 4x100. They finished in 57.77 seconds.

Pacquiao could get disciplined for shoulder LAS VEGAS (AP) — Manny Pacquiao could face disciplinary action from Nevada boxing officials for failing to disclose a shoulder injury before his fight with Floyd Mayweather Jr. Nevada Athletic Commission chairman Francisco Aguilar said Monday that the state attorney general’s office will look at why Pacquiao checked “no” a day before the fight on a commission questionnaire asking if he had a shoulder injury.

“We will gather all the facts and follow the circumstances,” Aguilar said. “At some point we will have some discussion.

As a licensee of the commission you want to make sure fighters are giving you up-todate information.”

Pacquiao could face a possible fine or suspension for not answering the question accurately on a form he filled out just before Friday’s weighin. He would go on to lose a unanimous decision to Mayweather in the richest fight ever.

Meanwhile, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache

told ESPN.com that Pacquiao will undergo surgery later this week to repair a “significant tear” in his rotator cuff. ElAttrache examined Pacquiao on Monday at his Kerlan Jobe Orthopedics office in Los Angeles.

Pacquiao’s promoter put out a statement on behalf of the fighter late Monday afternoon saying that the injury was disclosed to the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency, which approved the use of an anti-inflammatory shot for the fight. But USADA was only a third party to the fight, charged only with testing the fighters for banned substances in training and the night of the bout.

“We had no medical information, no MRIs, no documents,” said Travis Tygart, who heads the USADA. “It was not an anti-doping issue. The real question is why his camp checked ‘no’ on the disclosure. Either they made a terrible mistake to not follow the rules or they were trying not to give information to the other side. I’m not sure there’s a middle ground.”

Tygart said his agency,

which was hired by promoters to oversee drug testing for the bout, was contacted April 7 asking about the use of various substances and whether they were allowed under anti-doping rules. He said there was another call 10 days later asking about using a different substance, again for what the USADA was told was an unspecified shoulder problem.

A little more than two hours before the fight, Pacquiao’s corner asked Nevada regulators if he could be given a shot of Toradol, an anti-inflammatory.

Aguilar denied it, saying the commission had no previous indication there was an injury and could not allow a shot in fairness to the Mayweather camp.

“Our job is to protect the health and safety of fighters and the integrity of the sport,” Aguilar said. “We expect our fighters to be forthright.”

Pacquiao said after the fight that his shoulder had improved and he was hopeful of fighting with the shot. He said it didn’t bother him until the fourth round.

Big 12’s Bowlsby backs off title game talk PHOENIX (AP) — The Big 12 has tapped the brakes on the conference championship game talk.

Last week, Commissioner Bob Bowlsby strongly suggested the league would move toward bringing back its football championship to improve its chances of putting a team in the College Football Playoff.

After meeting with coaches and athletic directors Tuesday, Bowlsby says he does not sense

the conference is headed toward a title game.

“We all believe one year is not a long enough trial to draw any conclusions,” he said.

The Big 12 is the only Big Five conference without a title game. Last season, co-champions TCU and Baylor were left out of the College Football Playoff after finishing behind Ohio State, which surged into the semifinals with 59-0 victory in the Big Ten title game against Wisconsin.

— Austin Hill, a 21-year-old from Georgia who won three consecutive K&N East races and led every lap in the opener this year at New Smyrna Speedway.

Explanation of increases or decreases in revenue estimates, appropriations, or available cash: Additional revenues are projected bond proceeds. Expenditure increases are due to changes in Capital Equipment purchases, Redevelopment Agreements, Federal Grant expenditures, bonding issuance costs, Housing Initiative, and Skiff Medical Center.

There will be no increase in tax levies to be paid in the current fiscal year named above. Any increase in expenditures set out above will be met from the increased non-property tax revenues and cash balances not budgeted or considered in this current budget. This will provide for a balanced budget.

Royals Continued from Page 1B bounce back,” said Hosmer, who added an RBI triple in the eighth inning when the game was still hanging in the balance.

Ryan Madson pitched a perfect seventh for Kansas City before Kelvin Herrera served up a homer to Lonnie Chisenhall in the eighth,

Cubs Continued from Page 1B The bottom of the order hurt Hendricks. Kolten Wong, the No. 8 hitter, doubled to start the fifth and Hendricks hit pinch-hitter Peter Bourjos to set the stage for Carpenter’s homer.

“I’ve got to change something up, find it and get out of it somehow,” Hendricks said. “Hitting guys, walking

ending his streak of 105 1/3 innings without allowing one.

Herrera still handed over a lead to Wade Davis, though. He cruised through the ninth inning in place of injured All-Star closer Greg Holland for his sixth save.

The Indians’ Danny Salazar (3-1) gave up Hosmer’s homer, but was just as tough as Vargas most of the night.

He allowed four runs on five hits in seven innings, striking out nine.

Things started promising for the Indians when Carlos Santana worked a one-out walk and Brantley stepped to the plate in the first. He caught a hanging 1-1 pitch from Vargas and managed to guide it just inside the leftfield foul pole to give the Indians a 2-0 lead.

The advantage sure didn’t last long.

Gordon led off the bottom half with a base hit, and Kendrys Morales was

plunked by Salazar, before Hosmer stepped to the plate and took a mighty chop at a 2-0 pitch. The ball soared over the wall in left-center, splashing into the fountains more than 415 feet away.

It was Hosmer’s fourth homer of the year. He had nine all of last season.

That was plenty of offense for Vargas. Vargas retired 14 of 15 batters between Brantley’s homer and Jason Kipnis’ double.

guys, that’s not what I do.

“The feel is just not there.”

Wong added an RBI in the seventh on an infield single, his third hit of the game.

Mitch Harris (1-0), a 29-year-old rookie and former Navy lieutenant, worked a scoreless sixth for his first career victory. Trevor Rosenthal earned his ninth save in 10 chances.

Anthony Rizzo had three hits and a walk but grounded out with the bases loaded against Miguel Socolovich

to end the eighth. Starlin Castro had two RBIs on a forceout in the fifth when the Cardinals couldn’t quite turn a double play and rookie Kris Bryant scored from second.

The losing streak is a season worst for the Cubs, who hadn’t dropped three straight before Monday.

“I’m a really process-oriented guy and I really believe in our people,” Maddon said.

“You’ve just got to keep putting them out there until it works properly.”

Yadier Molina added two hits and an RBI for the Cardinals, whose major leaguebest 20-6 start is a franchise best since 1900.

Besides trailing 4-1 in the fifth inning Tuesday, the Cardinals were behind 5-0 in the first and 8-4 in the fifth of a 10-9 win Monday.

Reynolds, who hit a grand slam in Monday’s comeback, had been 1 for 8 with six strikeouts against Edwin Jackson (1-1) before his goahead hit Tuesday.
