Jury sees aftermath images of 2013 dog-mauling death

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News

Abigail Pelzer/Daily News Sixteen-year-old Zac DeBruyn poses for a photo at Eversman Field following the first day of baseball practice on May 4. Last year Zac was just beginning his recovery from second and third degree burns that covered about 15 percent of his body.

The jury deciding the 2013 dog-mauling of death of 4-year old Jordyn Arndt of Prairie City endured graphic images of Arndt’s injuries Friday at the Jasper County Courthouse.

Mercy Hospital surgeon Cass Franklin, who treated Arndt the day of the incident, took the witness stand while photos of the injuries were presented to the jury.

Images presented by

Jasper County Attorney Kelly Bennett showed more than a dozen lacerations on the victim’s neck.

Franklin operated on Arndt the day of the attack and testified she had “no signs of life” at the time of her arrival. After 20 minutes of chest compressions, Arndt regained a pulse, he said.

A new ballgame Newton teen recovers from significant burn injury

F

or most kids, returning to the baseball diamonds for practice last Monday was just another part of the season’s change. For 16-year-old Zac DeBruyn, it marked a new beginning.

One year ago, Zac was just starting what would become 12 days of hospitalization in the Burn Treatment Center at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics. He forfeited his usual activities, like baseball, for what’s become a yearlong process of

treating second- and third-degree burns that covered 15 percent of his body.

The high school sophomore holds no grudges for the accident in which he described himself as being “in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

It was a Saturday night, May 10, 2014. Zac had been invited to a bonfire with some friends at a Newton home. Zac said the boys were throwing things on the already ignited fire — a pallet, an old Christmas tree — and that’s when someone grabbed the lighter fluid. After shooting flames far into the sky, the bottle itself

was thrown in the fire, where it exploded.

When the flames struck Zac, he said his response was instant.

Stop, drop and roll.

“I didn’t even have to think about it, it was an immediate response,” Zac said.

The next thing Zac really remembers is waking up in the hospital in Iowa City the following Monday. For his parents, Mike and Pam DeBruyn, the hours after receiving the call that Zac had been burned were long and agonizing.

Bags of fun at Thunder Nites

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News The Berg school complex will be up for a bond issue vote next February. Frevert, Ramsey & Kobes will create conceptual drawings for a rebuild of the complex, and agreed to have a community committee of about 15-25 people meet several times during the months to discuss features to be included in the plans.

Community will have input in Berg redesign Committee, to meet in fall, will have 15 to 25 people

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News What sort of school would you like to see?

That’s the main question a Newton Community School District committee will address

this fall. While a public bond issue on financing a rebuild of the Berg school facility won’t take place until next February, a committee of school personnel and members of the community will likely start meeting early in the 2015-16 school year.

At its April 27 meeting, the NCSD board unanimously authorized the Des Moines design firm of Frevert, Ramsey & Kobes to pro-

ceed with conceptual drawings for a rebuild of the Berg complex, and agreed to have a committee of about 1525 people meet several times during the months leading up to a February 2016 bond election to advise FRK on the design.

This process is timed to have a detailed community-influenced concept to propose to voters BERG | 3A

Submitted Photo HIRTA Public Transit will be providing shuttles during Iowa Speedway race weekends. Race fans can be picked up at the Jasper County Courthouse, KOA campgrounds and participating hotels. Shuttles will begin pickup at 9:30 a.m. Saturday.

Just in time — shuttle services for race weekends

By Scott Thenhaus Newton Daily News With the first races less than a week away, Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau, Iowa Speedway and HIRTA Public Transit have all agreed to work together in providing shuttle services every race weekend.

Beginning Saturday, HIRTA shuttles will be picking up race-goers from assigned locations starting at 9:30 a.m. Two designated stops will include the Jasper County Courthouse and the KOA campgrounds.

“The partnership between HIRTA Public Transit and the Newton CVB provides a safe and enjoyable transportation service to our fans who live in Newton and to those who are staying here for the weekend,” said Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small. “As Iowa Speedway works to improve the fan experience at the track each season, it is great to have local amenities like these available to our loyal fans.”

In order to ride the shuttles,

participants must purchase a $5 HIRTA wristband. These wristbands can be purchased at the KOA campgrounds, Newton Hy-Vee and participating hotels. Colors of wristbands will vary each day and weekend, but will also include the HIRTA logo to discern from other wristbands.

Executive Director of the Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau Linda Bacon hopes the shuttle service will make things easier for everyone.

“We really like that shuttles are going to stop at the courthouse. We just really think it will enhance the fan experience, and hopefully benefit businesses also,” Bacon said.

Being the first year the service is offered, the hope is there will be more shuttle participants each week. However, Bacon plans to have a conference call with Iowa Speedway and HIRTA to discuss the success of the service. Fans are also welcome to comment on the service.

Shuttles are planned to take about an hour and 15 minutes

for a whole trip, and with the possibility of two shuttles total, it will ensure race fans get where they need to go quickly.

The process should also help with traffic as shuttles will have their own lane on the speedway along with their own designated parking spot.

Maximum capacity for a shuttle will be 18 riders. And while bringing coolers is encouraged, these coolers need to be small and fit in front of riders. No open beverage containers will be permitted on shuttles.

Tourists staying at particular hotels will also be able to pay $5 for wristbands when checking in. These hotels include AmericInn, Bounders Inn & Suites, Holiday Inn Express, Econolodge Inn, Quality Inn, Super 8 and Americas Best Value Inn. “This is something new for fans, and I think it’s going to be great for them if they want to do it,” Bacon said.

Stocks advance on US jobs report, UK election results NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks jumped in morning trading Friday, helped by a report that showed employers were still hiring workers at a steady pace. Foreign markets were also rising following the results of the election in the United Kingdom, where the David Cameron’s Conservative Party won an outright majority in Parliament.

The Dow Jones industrial average rose 259 points, or 1.5 percent, to 18,183 as of 10:55 a.m. Eastern. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index added 25 points, or 1.2 percent, to 2,113 and the Nasdaq composite rose 54 points, or 1.1 percent, to

4,999.

Investors cheered a report that showed U.S. employers added 223,000 jobs in April, a solid gain that suggests that the economy may be recovering after a stumbling start to the year.

The unemployment rate fell to 5.4 percent from 5.5 percent in March, the lowest rate since May 2008.

While the jobs report is always closely watched, April’s survey garnered even more interest than usual. The March jobs figures were abysmal, with employers creating only 85,000 jobs that month.

“I am even more convinced

that the March report was an outlier,” Paul Christopher, an investment strategist with Wells Fargo Advisors. “We all know the first quarter was a tough quarter. The jobs numbers needed to hold up and they did.”

The bond market continued its week of heightened volatility. The 10-year Treasury note traded at a yield of 2.12 percent, down significantly from 2.18 percent the day before.

The Conservative Party surged to get a majority lead in Britain’s parliamentary election, meaning Cameron will remain in power. The clarity of the

result eased concerns among investors, who had been worried that an uncertain outcome could lead to political haggling to create a new government.

The British pound jumped 2 percent overnight against the dollar to its highest level since February. It held onto the gains Friday, trading at $1.54.

“The U.K. general election result is a surprisingly market-friendly outcome and removes the risk that the economy suffers a prolonged period of political uncertainty,” said Vicky Redwood from Capital Economics in London.

In the longer-term, however,

Local News Wright Continued from Page 1A April 24, 2013 and testified Friday that Arndt also had lacerations on her right ankle and lower back as a result of the attack.

Both Franklin and Schmunk said the injuries were consistent to a dog attack and could have certainly been a result of the dog violently shaking its head back and forth.

Schmunk also testified the lacerations were consistent to a dog attacking from behind, which could mean Arndt had her back to the American Staffordshire terrier when it bit her.

Defendant Jena M. Wright, who was babysitting Arndt at the time of the attack, is facing charges of child endangerment resulting in death, a Class B

Berg

Continued from Page 1A for a bond election to rebuild the Berg complex as an all-new structure or structures. The board voted in January to pursue a bond issue for the construction. FRK will create a base design for the new building or buildings, and bring it to the committee in the fall and winter months a few times for discussion and revisions.

“We’re thinking we’d meet with that committee about once per month,” said FRK principal/senior project architect Dave Briden, who was at the April 27 meeting.

Preliminary cost estimates put a new Berg building cost at close to $28 million, before features and other many design choices are discussed. If the bond doesn’t pass, the district will have to figure out how to make about $17.6 million worth of major improvements, which won’t create fixes such as increasing classroom sizes or changing the awkward remodeled hallway configurations.

The district’s bonding capacity is $28,255,000.

Any new bond debt approved by voters will lead to a tax increase on properties in the Newton school district, so the district will need to campaign to get the February bond issue passed. The community involvement in the design phase is part of that campaign, as voters will likely want a say in, for example, whether a Berg building utilizes geothermal heating.

felony, and neglect or abandonment of an independent, a Class C felony.

Former Prairie City Police Chief Louis Modlin was on scene the day of the attack, and jurors watched the former police chief ’s dash cam video and heard Modlin interact with the defendant the day of the incident.

In the video, Wright is heard explaining the sequence of events that led up to the incident.

According to Modlin’s testimony, Wright told him the three children — the defendant’s daughter, 7-year-old Aden Arndt and Jordyn Arndt — were playing in the backyard. She then left the residence to run to the store and told her father-in-law to keep an eye on the kids. When she returned, she checked on the children

On March 23, the board voted to change the elementary half of the Berg complex from grades kindergarten through third grade to a grades 5-6 facility. The Berg Middle School half of the complex will continue to house the seventh and eight grades, so many Newton families will have children attending the campus for four consecutive school years.

Some parents raised concerns during recent public meetings about having the combination of fifth-graders and eighth-graders in the same complex. That was met by assurances the two halves of the complex will be kept separate during the school day.

Briden said it’s important not to start meetings too far in advance of the bond vote, as voters tend to “lose interest” if there aren’t fresh images of a new facility in their minds.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan said the time to develop interest in the committee itself is now.

He would like to see the committee developed over the summer and finalized about the time

and went back inside the house.

Minutes later, Wright’s daughter came inside and said “there’s blood.”

Jordyn Arndt was already taken away by ambulance before Modlin arrived, but said he saw a large pool of blood and the 4-year-old’s boot in the backyard. He also testified Wright and her family members were completely cooperative that day.

However, Wright is also facing charges of assault on a peace officer causing bodily injury and interference with official acts in this case, which allegedly occurred a day later during her arrest.

Modlin was the arresting officer April 23, 2013 and testified Wright kicked him multiple times in the chest while he was trying to take her into custody.

school starts on Aug. 24.

“I think 20-25 on the committee would be ideal,” Callaghan said.

“Fifteen to 20 is doable, with fifteen really being kind of on the low side.”

Callaghan said he would like a large cross-sectional representation of the community on the committee.

Donna Cook was the first board member to speak about who should be on the committee, suggesting at least a couple of students be included. Cook and fellow board members Nat Clark and Travis Padget are on the board’s three-person facilities and long-range planning committee, formed by unanimous vote at the board’s Feb. 23 meeting.

“I feel they should take the board’s lead on this,” board president Sheri Benson said, referring to the subcommittee. Callaghan agreed with Benson’s suggestion.

The School Improvement Advisory Committee also has a 10-person 2014-15 facilities subcommittee.

The incident happened at 601 S. Norris St. in Prairie City, the defendant’s mother-inlaw’s house.

After learning of Arndt’s death, Modlin said he went to place Wright under arrest, at which point the defendant was “not cooperative.” Wright tried to get away from him, but fell down a staircase near a backyard door, he said. Modlin was halfway up the stairs.

“As soon as she fell down on the stairs she rolled over on her back and began kicking and she kicked me several times in the chest,” Modlin said.

Andrea Borsch, child protection officer at the Department of Human Services, was at the residence with Modlin and also took the stand Friday. She confirmed what Modlin had previously testified, stating she witnessed Wright on her back

Pistachios & Diabetes Risk Pistachios may lower the risk of diabetes in people with prediabetes (having blood sugar levels higher than normal but not high enough to be diabetes), according to a new study.

Participants were divided into two groups. The diet for one group included 2 oz. of pistachios a day; the control group had a similar diet with equivalent calories but without pistachios. The pistachio group had improvements in blood sugar and insulin levels and also an increase in the hormone that helps regulate glucose levels. Experts say to eat pistachios in place of and not in addition to other foods so not to increase total daily calorie intake.

She also indicated Wright was “not very quiet throughout the process.”

During Modlin’s testimony, he said he tried to grab Wright as she tried to get away and in doing so ripped the defendant’s shirt.

During cross-examination, Defense Attorney TJ Hier questioned Modlin’s actions in his attempt to grab Wright and asked him if there was any chance she could have gotten away.

“Getting away for good, no,” Modlin said. “But getting to an area where she could potentially get a weapon, yes.”

Learning to abide

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | May 11, 2015

Editor’s Note: This column originally published Feb. 23, 2015. Cardinal Lanes is scheduled to close on Friday.

Last week my sports editor walked into my office and told me I need to step up my bowling game.

While it would not take a sports expert to draw this conclusion, she had taken note of my embarrassing scores while preparing the bowling league results for publication.

While it was pointed out with a smile and a laugh, by all accounts she is right, I do in fact need to step up my game.

The thing is sometimes I have talent. That’s true of all of us on Team Abide — which includes my husband and another couple who reeled us in after participating in two other seasons of league bowling.

Our team name is derived from “The Big Lebowski,” a comedy starring Jeff Bridges, John Goodman and Steve Buscemi. The three

make for an interesting bowling team to say the least, and there are dozens of memorable quotes from the film — one being, “the Dude abides.” Thus, we try to abide.

But two months into playing league bowling, I can confidently say I don’t have what it takes. It’s a game of highs and lows, so one frame I’m bowling a strike and the next is a gutter ball. I’m entirely too dramatic about it too, often stating my frustration after each roll.

To be honest, I have no idea what I’m doing except trying to have fun — isn’t that the key to most sports? Yet, my definition of fun means I must break 100 and/ or beat my husband, otherwise I’m just mad.

I’ve always been an average bowler that sometimes finds luck.

One of my favorite dating stories stems from college when my date suggested we spend the night bowling. I dominated, making several strikes and spares and ultimately beat him in every game.

He never called for another date,

and it was definitely because he was a sore loser.

I’ve kind of developed a similar attitude, although not to that pathetic extreme.

If you take a look around Cardinal Lanes on a Friday night there are many skilled players, some I would describe as masters of the game.

I just try to throw the ball down the lane and hit the middle of the pins. That’s honestly my strategy.

Sometimes it even works. (I’m basically priding myself on having not thrown my ball backward into my teammates at this point.)

There is definitely no shortage of advice when it comes to the game of bowling. I’ve been told to let the ball do the work, relax, be the ball (whatever that means) among many other suggestions such as where to stand, how to approach and throwing technique.

As a team we’ve spent a lot of time talking strategy and we’ve taken several different approaches to bowl successfully — it’s a bal-

ance of using the right ball, the dryness in your hand, how many pitchers of beer are consumed and energy level.

If you have another obligation on a Friday you’re required to prebowl and that’s where I can really struggle. Trying to fit three games of bowling into a lunch hour created the embarrassing results of last week. By game three I was exhausted, and even panting at one point.

There’s no doubt bowling is a chore.

The positives for me include being active during the winter, meeting new people, spending time with our good friends — and acquiring bowling shoes. I’d always wanted some.

So if I can stay focused on those things I think I can abide, and maybe I’ll even improve my game.

No greater profession than teaching

By Rob Luther Being in education and working each day with students, it is easy to lose sight of the big picture. With last week being teacher appreciation week, I reflected on how our teachers are doing at Baxter CSD, and the impact they are making on our kids. There is no way to measure how much teachers truly alter the paths of their students.

I know there were numerous educators who mentored me, who modeled strong character, and are the reason I am the person I am today. It is because of teachers I had that I am a school administrator and coach. I have been an educator for 26 years of my life.

Rick Sullivan was my high school football coach and also the superintendent of schools at Maxwell CSD. I remember wanting to play so hard for him.

I wanted to make him proud and watched how he built relationships with all of his players.

It was specifically Coach Sullivan who made me want to be a high school football coach. The values he taught both on and off the field are ones that helped me grow and mature into the person I am today. It is amazing more than 30 years later it is still such a vivid memory of listening to him at practice and putting his hand on my shoulder to tell me

nice job.

In many of the same ways that Coach Sullivan influenced my life, Merrillee Hartzer did the same. Her avenue was music.

But the caring and listening was always there with Mrs. Hartzer.

She helped me develop a love for musical theater and performing. Her classroom was fun. I worked just as hard in there as I did on the athletic field. It was Mrs. Hartzer who influenced my decision to go into theater and eventually teach speech and drama and direct musicals and plays. She was such a strong female role model for me. I loved the opportunity to be taught by her everyday.

In college, I was lucky enough to have Dr. Jay Fields guide me through so many life decisions.

He was one of the most intelligent and creative people I have ever met. In so many tough times in my life, Dr. Fields was right there. He always had time for me. He genuinely listened.

Those conversations and advice still ring in my head from time to time.

As I entered new parts of my career I also had two men who mentored me and taught me so much about teaching, coaching and being a leader of people.

Mike Zelenovich and Neil Seales are very similar men. They are both outstanding coaches and teachers, but both are even better

people. We all have those people we seek approval from. These two men were that for me. I still keep notes both have sent me in my desk about big wins or positive accomplishments. These men have taught me a great deal about integrity, motivation and perseverance. Anyone who has ever been coached by these leaders are better people for it.

I want to say thank you to these educators and all who had a hand in my life and caring enough about me to truly make a difference in the teacher and person I have become. There is no greater profession. Nowhere else can you influence people and create change more than being a teacher.

I hope everyone takes a moment to thank a teacher, coach, counselor or principal who impacted their lives. Lord knows the reward is not in the paycheck. But it is in knowing you did make a difference not just in a single student, but also an entire school, community or country. It is amazing how quickly the butterfly effect can happen and how influencing one person, really means you are influencing many.

I can’t say enough how thankful I am for teachers and the incredible job they do.

“This vast right-wing conspiracy,” Hillary Clinton said, “has been conspiring against my husband since the day he announced.”

That was the “feminist” first lady’s response when her

By John husband Stossel was accused of having sex with a 21-year-old.

Bill was more lawyerly. He said things like, “It depends upon what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is.”

The Wall Street Journal’s Kim Strassel suggests that the Clintons must have a Scandal Manual: “The standard operating procedure never changes.”

Forty years ago, Hillary would have us believe that she wasn’t just the wife of a man running for Arkansas governor — she was a lucky or brilliant investor who in less than three weeks doubled her money.

No, tripled! No, wait — quadrupled ... no, actually, much more!

“Clinton made almost $100,000 in the cattle futures market,” reported Tom Brokaw, and “many wondered whether that was a sweetheart deal arranged for the governor’s wife.”

Of course it was.

In less than three weeks, Hillary turned $1,000 into $16,427. “I don’t understand how that could have possibly occurred,” she said. “My husband and I missed the fact that we had actually made some money.”

A hundred thousand dollars — twice what her husband made as governor. Who remembers trivia like that?

That was around the time of the Whitewater scandal, in which friends of the Clintons got sweetheart land deals. Seven people went to jail, but not the Clintons. Their records disappeared.

Hillary came on “20/20.” Barbara Walters asked her, “How did you get into this mess where your whole credibility is

being questioned?”

Hillary answered sweetly, “I ask myself that every day, Barbara, because it’s very surprising and confusing to me.”

It is confusing to me, too.

Travelgate and Fostergate were also confusing, as is the Democrats’ sudden indifference to a president getting oral sex from an intern, deaths in Benghazi and, most recently, violation of State Department email rules.

“It would’ve been better for me to use two separate phones and two email accounts,” Hillary testified.

“I thought using one device would be simpler.”

Except it turned out she did use two devices: “iPhone, OK, in full disclosure, and a Blackberry.”

She also said, “I took the unprecedented step of asking that the State Department make all my work-related emails public.”

Except that wasn’t true either. She turned over only emails she claimed were relevant. The rest were wiped clean from her home server — a private server government officials aren’t supposed to use. Then she refused to give that server to a third party for an independent review.

Consequences? Punishment? No. New revelations in the book “Clinton Cash” about the Clinton Foundation accepting billions from foreign governments and people doing business with our government brought out the same “Aw, shucks” replies from the Scandal Manual.

Bill told a reporter, “I asked Hillary about this, and she said, ‘No one’s ever tried to influence me.’”

Anyway, the Foundation money went to charity. Hillary said, “I am very proud of the work the Foundation does.”

But what “work”? In 2013, a measly 9 percent of the money went to charity! Charity Navigator, the biggest charity rating service, won’t even list the Clinton Foundation in its rankings. This is repulsive.

If a Republican candidate ran a charity that did that, it would be a scandal.

National phone registry reduces unwanted calls DEAR ABBY: Many years ago you published a “Do Not Call” number for unsolicited phone calls. It worked great for a long time. I’m now starting to receive a lot of these calls again.

I am elderly (88), arthritic, and I struggle getting out of my chair to answer the phone because I think it’s a family member or friend calling. Do you still have that number? I think a lot of people would like to have it. — CARRIE IN QUINCY, MASS. DEAR CARRIE: I went searching for the number of the Do Not Call Registry and found it in my Consumer Action Handbook, which is published by the GSA Federal Citizen Information Center. The toll-free number is 888-382-1222.

If, after your number has been in the National Registry for three months, you continue to receive calls, you can file a formal complaint using the same toll-free number. This will stop most — but not all — telemarketing calls.

Unfortunately, calls from political organizations, charities, telephone surveyors and some organizations with which you already have a relationship are still permitted.

DEAR ABBY: My daughter is having a baby. Her baby shower is being given by one of her close friends.

I made it clear that I did not want to know the gender of the baby before the birth, that I’m content to enjoy the suspense. I did not attend the “reveal” party that was held several months ago.

When my shower invitation arrived, it was pink and began with “It’s A Girl!” Isn’t it rude to ignore another person’s feelings even if you think they are silly?

I won’t say anything about this to my daughter because I want her to enjoy her party, but maybe this will help others who would prefer waiting for the surprise. Am I wrong to have expected my invitation to be non-gender-specific? — GRANNY-TO-BE DEAR GRANNY-TO-BE: Yes,

I think you are wrong. In this day of sonograms and gender-reveal parties, you are in the minority with your preference to be kept in the dark. Rather than being rude, what probably happened was a person who was unaware of your preference sent your invitation as part of a batch — and pink is the theme of the party.

DEAR ABBY: My longtime 91-year-old friend is healthy but suffers from dementia. Her frequent fearful thoughts are centered around (imaginary) intruders who lurk somewhere upstairs or in the garage and are robbing her.

I try to tell her this is only in her mind, that they are not real, to no avail. What else can I say or do? Her son comes three times a week to clean her house and cook good meals for her, but he doesn’t live there. — CONCERNED FRIEND OUT WEST DEAR CONCERNED FRIEND: Talk to her son and find out whether he knows what she has been telling you. If he has removed anything from his mother’s house, he should remind her. If he hasn’t — and nothing is missing — then his mother’s doctor should be made aware that she is anxious and fearful and may be having hallucinations, because there may be a medication that can calm her.

P.S. It couldn’t hurt to check the attic for critters.

IOWA CITY — Investigators have arrested a man suspected of being a major heroin supplier and four associates in the Iowa City area whose drugs have allegedly been linked to several overdose deaths, court documents show. Detectives arrested Jason “Snipes” Dawson in Iowa City on Thursday after an 18-month investigation allegedly linked him and his associates to repeated sales of heroin to users and other suppliers.

Four associates of Dawson were also arrested Thursday, and one more is wanted.

Iowa high on list of states with worst puppy mills

Severe weather in Iowa prompts reports of tornadoes DES MOINES — A tornado has caused considerable damage in a central Iowa community.

Meterologist Frank Boksa with the Des Moines office of the National Weather Service said an apparent tornado hit Lake City, in Calhoun County, on Sunday night and authorities have reported structural damage and uprooted trees.

The Des Moines Register reported that trained spotters confirmed a tornado in Carroll County moving north toward Lake City just before 7:15 p.m.

According to the weather service, the tornado caused damage that spanned two blocks.

Calhoun County resident Austin Jacobs, who lives on a farm just west of Lake City, told the newspaper that after the storm subdued he went to the town to look at the damage.

Jacobs said damage included downed telephone poles and roofs blown off of houses.

He also said the roof of South Central Calhoun High School had become detached during the storm.

“The main part of the roof is bent like an upside down U over the road kind of creating a tunnel,” Jacobs said.

South Central Calhoun girls’ basketball coach Dave Birks said there were about 150 people inside the high school for a baccalaureate and senior awards

ceremony, but they were able to evacuate to the school’s basement and locker room area. About two minutes later, the tornado arrived.

“The lights went off, and everyone’s ears kind of popped,” Birks said. “They say a tornado sounds like a freight train, and that lasted only 5 or 10 seconds. Everyone came upstairs, and it was a mess.”

According to Birks, the windows in the common areas of the school were blown out and insulation was scattered nearby. He also said the high jump pit from the school’s outdoor athletic complex was missing and hurdles were scattered everywhere.

FOREST CITY — The oldest building in Winnebago County has new owners, a historical society dedicated to preserving it and making it available for special events.

The Winnebago County Historical Society now owns the 140-year-old Trinity Lutheran Church in Forest City. Local historians say it’s the oldest building in the county.

Church members have dwindled in numbers and the few remaining decided to put it in the hands of the historical society.

WRIGHT COUNTY — The bird flu virus spread further Friday, as Iowa officials announced two more farms that hold a total of 4 million chickens tested positive for H5N2.

Since March, the virus has led to the loss of well over 30 million birds in 13 states. Minnesota and Wisconsin, two other states hit hard with the disease, reported no new bird flu cases Friday. Iowa has 44 cases of bird flu in 12 counties.

In Wright County two farms saw an unusual number of chickens dying.

DES MOINES — Nebraska and Iowa rank high on a list of states with what are described as some of the worst puppy mills. A report from the Humane Society of the United States says Nebraska ranks third on “The Horrible Hundred 2015” list, with 14 of the breeders. Iowa ranks fourth with 11 breeders on the list.

The list was led by Missouri, with 23, and Kansas, with 16.

Zac

Fire safety urged by other burn victims, Newton fire marshal

Continued from Page 1A Pam said she took the call to meet Zac and his friend at Skiff Medical Center not knowing how serious the injury was.

Then she saw him approaching the emergency room with part of his shirt burned off, his hair singed and obvious burns to his face and hand.

“I immediately got hysterical,” Pam said.

“My husband wouldn’t let me go back to the room because I was just too upset.”

Once Zac was evaluated, a medical helicopter was called and they began prepping him for the transfer to the University of Iowa Hospitals.

When they got to Iowa City the DeBruyns learned the injuries weren’t life-threatening.

However, cleaning the serious wounds would take several hours. His parents weren’t able to see him until 5 a.m. Sunday morning.

Treatment and Recovery The UI Burn Treatment Center is one of 50 burn centers in the United States officially verified by the American Burn Association and the American College of Surgeons. Zac was treated by Dr. Thomas Granchi, who was recruited from Texas and began working in Iowa City in July 2013.

Granchi said Zac suffered second and third-degree burns to his right arm, chest and neck.

Because he was wearing a synthetic fabric shirt, it melted, leaving some traces in the skin, Granchi said.

“I didn’t know how serious it was until I woke up in the hospital,” Zac said. “Then it was the worst pain I’ve ever felt.

It hurt so much.”

Zac said he doesn’t remember having the initial treatments, however for Pam, that’s a memory she said hasn’t faded with time.

“I could hear him screaming, which was the worst thing,” Pam said.

“It wasn’t uncommon to

hear other people in pain, but when it’s your own son. It was ... horrible.”

Zac’s deep second-degree burns were excised and skin grafts were taken from his legs to cover those wounds, Granchi said. Then rehabilitation efforts began.

“It’s not unusual in young people to have vigorous scarring,” Granchi said. “The scars can be thick and red and painful, so he’s had some laser treatments to improve the appearance.”

About one third of the patients seen in the hospital’s Burn Treatment Center are under the age of 18, Granchi said, with an average of 90 pediatric patients in a given year.

“With the teenage group the disproportionate burns are in young men,” Granchi said.

“They tend to be involved in riskier behavior.”

The worst part, Zac said, was missing out on baseball and swimming during the summer, and later learning he wasn’t able to return to football in the fall. Incorporating at-home treatments into his teenage life was also tough. Sun safety is also a new part of Zac’s life. Wearing protective gear, sleeves and slathering sunblock on are now musts.

But he and his family’s life haven’t altered much when it comes to recreation. Zac was released from the hospital Memorial Day weekend of last year and the following weekend the DeBruyns went camping. Zac lit the fire.

“It’s more of a paranoia

Submitted Photo The DeBruyns attended the Iowa vs. Ball State game in September 2014 at Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City.

for me,” Pam said. “He’s fine with being around fires. He grew up camping — he knows how to light a fire.

“Zac went through this and we had no idea what his pain was or is ... but we watched him go through this as a family.

As hard as it was for him to go through, it was just as hard for us to watch him go through it.”

Forging a future Zac said he wants to be a mechanic when grows up. He knows the answer to that question without much thought.

He wants to be like his father, who Zac describes

as a jack-of-all-trades.

In some ways Zac said this accident has changed him and prepared him for living life on life’s terms. It’s not been easy, but he doesn’t mind that it’s impacted a part of his youth.

“I look at life differently. I’m more aware of my surroundings. I’m never not paying attention,” Zac said.

He’s much more cautious than he used to be, he said, particularly when he’s riding in cars with teenage friends. He just doesn’t want anything bad to happen, he said.

The questions, and the attention drawn from

Accidents happen, and not just to teenagers at bonfires.

Chris Farver, who was 31 when he was severely burned in his backyard, said it was a life-changing experience.

The Newton man was lighting a bonfire on a Friday night in August 2008, but used gas to get it started.

Newton firefighters would later tell him the humid and warm weather made it ideal for the accelerant to spread around the bonfire site, which ignited when he lit it.

The burns required skin grafts on both legs from the knee down. Farver still has significant scarring on his arm.

Farver said it was the first night of Cardinal High School Football and he was going to listen to the game on the radio with friends, gathered around the fire.

Instead, he spent nine days at the University of Iowa Hospitals and missed two months of work before he was cleared to return.

Marc Bushore, another Newton man, was also seriously burned as a teenager. Bushore said he poured racing fuel on a fire he didn’t think was active.

When he poured the accelerant, flames

his injury doesn’t bother him too much these days.

But he does notice when people steal a glance at his scars, which peak just above the collar of his shirt.

“I can see it in their eyes that they are trying to comprehend what it’s like,” Zac said. “I feel like I missed out on part of (my youth) but I now have this experience that’s changed me.”

sneaked back up into the can, which exploded. The result was third-degree burns to his face. He was flown to the University of Iowa Hospitals for treatment — and traveled back and forth during the winter months to continue that treatment.

He said he wouldn’t ever consider putting something like fuel on the fire these days.

Newton Fire Marshal Mike Knoll, who leads the fire department’s fire safety education efforts, said it’s critical to learn how to start fires safely.

“Start fires with paper and wood,” Knoll said. “Do not use accelerants on fire — it will rapidly get out of hand.”

Because of the danger involved with recreational residential fires, Newton residents are held to certain restriction set forth by the city, Knoll said.

Residential fires can be no bigger than four feet in diameter and flames can be no higher than two feet tall, he said.

Knoll said if residents choose to use a lighter fluid prior to starting a fire, he recommends reading and following the directions closely.

“Never spray lighter fluid directly on the fire itself,” Knoll said.

Zac, who likes to play outfield, said he’s anxious about getting the baseball season underway. For someone who was seriously injured and whose life was significantly altered, just being able to participate feels like he’s already knocked one out of the park.

Cochran leads NHS to third at Cardinal Invitational PCM, Colfax-Mingo golfers compete at Westwood

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News One of many sources of pride Newton High girls’ golf coaching staff has in the Cardinal golfers is their sportsmanship.

On their home course Friday, the Cardinal girls answered opponents’ questions about how to hit shots on the back nine holes of Newton’s Westwood Golf Course. Not surprising, the sportsmanship award for the 2015 Cardinal Invitational went to Newton senior Shelbey Cochran.

Cochran paced the Newton varsity squad to third place in the nine-hole event. Cochran finished with a 45, which was for fifth place individually.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Shelbey Cochran watches her ball travel toward the cup on a putt during Friday’s Cardinal Invitational at Westwood Golf Course. Cochran finished fifth individually in the nine-hole tournament, leading Newton to third on its home course.

The Cardinal Invitational featured two of the top 10 teams in Class 5A in Ankeny Centennial and Johnston, which are second and eighth in nine-hole team average. Newton is fifth in nine-hole team average in 4A. Prairie City-Monroe, Bondurant-Farrar, Chariton and North Polk are Class 3A teams and Colfax-Mingo is a Class 1A team.

“It was a good day for golf, and we had a great tournament,” said Scott Enyart, Newton head coach. “To know our girls were helping others on the course is what we want to reflect as a program at Newton. It was great to see Shelbey and Abby ( Jolivette) have good rounds on Senior Night.”

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Reading the green and lining things up is Prairie City-Monroe’s Brenna Maher on No. 10 at Newton’s Westwood Golf Course.

Maher shot a 47 in Friday’s NHS Cardinal Invitational, a ninehole tournament.

Ready to go racin’ and all the rest

Norvell and Dunsbergen were fourth and fifth, respectively, in the high jump as both cleared the bar at 4’4. The seventh-grade distance medley relay team of Whitten, Arguello, Allie Stout and Abbie Altman was fourth in 5:04.40.

The Berg eighthgrade girls tied for seventh-place with 29 points.

Last Tuesday the ears of all the area NASCAR racing fans perked up. Were they hearing what they thought they were?

It was the distinct roar of race cars running on the asphalt oval known as Iowa Speedway. But the cars were running in front of no fans and no media. Several teams spanning three of the NASCAR sponsored series — Xfinity, Camping World Truck and K&N Pro — were helping Goodyear Tire test tires on the Speedway track.

Now, we’re just four days from By Jocelyn Sheets Wide Opening Weekend 2015 for Iowa Speedway. No doubt Newton Daily News that Tuesday afternoon-into-early-evening testing session was Sports Editor music to the ears of racing fans.

I felt the same way when I sat down to watch the 2015 Kentucky Derby May 2 and heard “and they’re off.” That’s the brand of racing I love to watch. The Kentucky Derby signals the hope of a new Triple Crown winner each year.

American Pharaoh beat out Firing Line and Dortmund for the Kentucky Derby win. It’s on to the Preakness States Saturday and American Pharaoh attempts to become the 12th horse to win the Triple Crown. The last horse to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness Stakes and Belmont Stakes was Affirmed in 1978.

So, Saturday is a big sports day for me — looking to see if American Pharaoh can make it two-fortwo to keep my Triple Crown winner hope alive and Iowa Speedway’s Wide Opening Weekend.

Berg seventh-grade girls win state track title WAUKEE — Newton’s Berg Middle School’s seventh-grade girls went into the 2015 Iowa Junior High State Track Championships just nine strong. They earned four event state championships and piled up 72 points to win a team state championship Saturday at Waukee.

McKenzie Baker won the shot put with a throw

of 27 feet, 5 inches. Maddie Jones lowered her own Berg school record to 30.63 seconds in capturing the state title in the 200-meter hurdles.

Alivia Whitten, Emma Dunsberger, Camryn Arguello and Allie Norvell combined for not one but two relay state championships, both in Berg school record times.

The foursome won the sprint medley relay in 2 minutes. 4.09 seconds and claimed first in the

4x100-meter relay in 56.10 seconds.

Former Berg records for the two relays were established in 1986 for medley and 1977 for the 4x100.

Dunsbergen, Jones, Norvell and Maddie Amos set a Berg school record in finishing three in the shuttle hurdle relay in 1:16.04. Jones was second in the long jump at 14-11.25 and was second in the 100 hurdles in 17.66 seconds.

Cochran, Abby Jolivette, Olivia Maharry and Hannah Scotton are the four seniors on the Cardinal team this season.

Karlie Kerrigan of Ankeny Centennial shot a four over par 39 to win medalist honors. Johnston’s Kelli Bormann was the runner up with a 40 followed by Ankeny Centennial Tenley Moretti with a 41 and Johnston’s Abbie Gault carding a 42. Kerrigan and Moretti are tied for fifth in Class 5A and ninth in the state in individual ninehole averages.

Johnston captured the Cardinal Invitational team championship with a four-player score of 176.

Ankeny Centennial was four shots back at 180. The Cardinals combined for a 188 for third.

Chariton placed fourth with a 212 and Bondurant-Fararr shot a 214.

Newton’s junior varsity finished at 222.

Prairie City-Monroe’s Mustangs ended up seventh with a 233. North Polk was eighth with a 245.

Colfax-Mingo’s Tigerhawks had two golfers in the competition.

Joining Cochran for the Cardinal varsity team score were juniors Jessica Reynolds with a 46 and Cydney Hillyard with a 48 and Jolivette with a 49. Juniors Jessie Smith and Emily Fitzgerald carded a 50 and a 53, respectively. Reynolds is ranked third in 4A in ninehole averages at 43.25.

“Shelbey has found her game. She started off on No. 18 and had a bad hole, then turned it around from there,” Enyart said.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior Reid Jenkins was third at the Colfax-Mingo Invitational on Saturday after firing an 82. The Mustangs were second in the seven-team field, trailing only Clear Creek-Amana.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo’s Mason Mosher shot a 97 and finished 18th during the Colfax-Mingo Invitational at Colfax Country Club on Saturday.

COLFAX — An illness slowed down Jimmy Abell’s momentum last week.

The Colfax-Mingo senior had to leave the Heart of Iowa Conference meet prematurely on May 4 and was not available when the Tigerhawks traveled to a triangular that was suspended due to lightning at Twin Anchors Golf Course on May 5.

But once Abell was healthy and ready to resume golf activities, he picked up right where he left off. And Saturday, he grabbed medalist honors at the Colfax-Mingo Invitational at Colfax Country Club.

Abell shot a 7-over-par 79, which was two strokes better than Pella Christian’s Graham Howerzyl and three shots clear of Prairie City-Monroe’s Reid Jenkins.

Abell had a 41 through his first nine and then bettered that score by three shots when he went back through the course a second time.

Howerzyl and Jenkins were tied with the

lead after nine holes, but were three and four shots worse, respectively, during the second nine.

Jenkins’ effort helped the Mustangs place second as a team. Clear Creek-Amana won the team championship with a 340, while PCM turned in a 349. Pella Christian was next at 366, followed by Saydel (367), Pleasantville (406) and North Mahaska (413).

Host Colfax-Mingo only used three golfers and finished seventh with a 456.

PCM’s next best finisher after Jenkins was freshman Dayton Boell, who shot an 88 after a 46 on the first nine and a 42 on the second.

Boell was ninth overall, and senior Wade Hill came in next at 11th with an 89, younger brother Ryan Hill, a sophomore, was 12th with a 90 and freshman Braden Phifer shot a 105.

Mason Mosher shot a 97 for Colfax-Mingo.

The Tigerhawks’ third score came from Jacob Buehrer, who jumped over from the track team to card a 100 in the first competitive tournament of his high school career.

While PCM had four finishes in the first 12 positions, Clear Creek-Amana won the tournament by placing golfers in fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth.

Golf: PCM’s Maher, Colfax-Mingo’s Maggard shoot under 50 at Cardinal Invite Continued from Page 1B

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Hitting her ball from near the out-of-bounds mark is Olivia Maggard of Colfax-Mingo.

Maggard overcame a tough go on this hole to post a 48 for Friday’s nine-hole Newton High Cardinal Invitational at Westwood Golf Course.

“Abby is playing consistent golf right now. This was her third straight round of nine under 50,” Enyart said.

Enyart said Reynolds and Hillyard didn’t shoot as well as they wanted at home Friday, but fought through the rough spots well. He said to have four golfers under 50 on the Westwood back nine was pretty solid for Newton.

“It was good to see from our girls since we’re hosting the (4A) regional tournament,” Enyart said. Newton hosts Class 4A Region 2 on May 26.

PCM was led by Brenna Maher, who came into the tournament ranked 10th in Class 3A in nine-hole average, with a 47. Sabrina Reed fired a 57 for the Mustangs and Abby Van Haaften came in with a personal-best 59. Ellie Steenhoek shot a 70.

“Breanna and Ellie struggled a bit in the meet compared to their usual scores,” said Val Edwards, PCM coach. “I think playing two back-to-

back 18-hole meet was catching up with them Friday.”

Colfax-Mingo’s Olivia Maggard turned in a round of 48. Skye Weber finished with an 85.

Newton’s junior varsity was led by Maharry with a 51 and sophomore Lizzy Coyle with a 52. Scotton shot a 56 followed by junior Alyssa Bartels at 63, freshman Taylor Dydell at 64 and junior Amber Sorenson at 71.

Newton heads to Norwalk on Tuesday to play Norwalk and Dallas Center-Grimes in Little Hawkeye Conference play. Tee time is 4:15 p.m. on Warrior Run Golf Course.

PCM plays an 18-hole tournament hosted by Knoxville Monday at Pine Knolls Country Club.

Colfax-Mingo’s girls are at Pleasantville Monday and host Collins-Maxwell/Baxter Tuesday.

Johnson stays on track during late caution, wins at Kansas KANSAS CITY, Kan. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson pulled into victory lane after his late-race gamble paid off to win the rain-delayed Sprint Cup race at Kansas Speedway, then pulled out his cellphone and tried to dial his wife in the first few minutes of Mother’s Day. “Then I caught her on FaceTime,” Johnson said, “and she was NOT so happy to be on FaceTime with all those people around. I think the signal went out — or she hung up on me.”

There’s a good chance Chandra will forgive him.

Johnson, so dominant on mile-anda-half tracks, held off Kevin Harvick as the clock struck midnight heading into Sunday. They were chased across the line by Johnson’s Hendrick Motorsports teammates Dale Earnhardt

Continued from Page 1B Stock car racing fans are going to see those up-andcoming drivers Saturday in the K&N Pro Series Casey’s Store 150. Many of the stars of the NASCAR Xfinity and Sprint Cup Series competed in this developmental series.

Seven of the 2015 NASCAR Next drivers are in the K&N Pro Series and should be at Iowa Speedway this weekend. K&N East driver Austin Hill of Winston Ga. was at Iowa Speedway for the Goodyear Tire testing as were Erik Jones, Daniel Suarez and Ryan Blaney, who all compete in the Xfinity Series.

There’s a lot of crossover among drivers in NASCAR. Jones just made his Sprint Cup debut at Kansas

Jr. and Jeff Gordon after a dramatic final few laps.

Most of the leaders had been conserving fuel after pitting with 58 to go, right on the upper end of the pit window, when Ricky Stenhouse Jr. got into the wall with 12 laps left. Johnson was among those who pressed their luck by staying on the track, while Harvick went in for right-side tires and fuel, and Martin Truex Jr. got a splash of gas.

“It just dawned on me: We’ve won two races, we’re locked in the Chase, points don’t matter. We’re going for the win,” Johnson said. “It was just sort of a gut feeling, split-second.”

Johnson built a lead on the restart with six laps left, but Harvick sped around Earnhardt on his fresh tires

down the front stretch, setting his sights on the lead.

“They had the most raw speed,” said Johnson’s crew chief, Chad Knaus.

Harvick bobbled just slightly at one point on the back stretch, though, giving Johnson a little more space. The six-time series champion maintained it the rest of the way to win for the third time this season and his third race at Kansas Speedway.

“The 48 and 88 didn’t have the speed, and they gambled and had enough cars in between us that we didn’t have enough laps to get around them,” Harvick said. “It’s hard to know what’s right and what’s wrong.

You know half of them are going to come in and half are going to stay out.”

Harvick still extended his points

Crafton helped Goodyear test tires at Iowa on May 5 and will be here for the Truck Series in June.

The 3M 250 Xfinity Series race is Sunday afternoon at Iowa Speedway.

Before all the action at Iowa Speedway gets revved up, there’s plenty of high school spring sports action this week.

Thursday signals postseason for several sports.

Newton’s boys are in a Class 2A tennis district tournament at Marshalltown. All five area high schools compete in state qualifying track meets — Newton in 4A at Urban-

dale, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter and Prairie City-Monroe in 2A at Eddyville, and Lynnville-Sully and Colfax-Mingo in Class 1A at Brooklyn. All happening on Thursday.

Friday is boys’ golf sectionals. Colfax-Mingo and Lynnville-Sully are in a 1A sectional at Pleasantville while PCM is in a 2A sectional at Pella and CMB is at Gilbert in 3A action. Then Monday brings girls’ golf regional action — PCM hosts a 3A regional, which includes CMB, at Monroe and Colfax-Mingo is at Grundy Center in 1A play.

High school softball teams open practices Monday while high school baseball teams enter a second week of practices.

lead over Truex heading into next week’s All-Star race at Charlotte.

Johnson is third in the standings as he chases another title.

“In some ways we fought really hard to get to victory lane, but it’s also fun to win gambling,” Johnson said. “We haven’t really gambled to win one.”

Truex led a race-high 95 laps, but his pit decision proved costly. Without fresh tires, one of the strongest cars in the field faded on the final restart and finished ninth.

“Really hate when it comes down to fuel mileage. It seems like I’m always at the wrong end of that deal,” he said.

“It would have been fun to see whether we had anything for him.”

Joey Logano stormed to a top-five finish despite two pit-road penalties.

Dignified people restrain themselves, while childish types chase every whim. So what’s your whim? With the crossing of Mars into Gemini territory, the energy it takes to be dignified may not be worth the effort. “Wit is the sudden marriage of ideas which, before their union, were not perceived to have any relation.” -- Mark Twain

younger than you will have a positive influence. October and December will bring financial opportunity and hard work.

Scorpio and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 25, 41, 10 and 39.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You are not a lone traveler; you are not alone in any way.

You may not trust the people around you to the extent that you would like to be able to, and yet, you should still lean in.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Take your affection, your honesty and your love of life, and share them with someone

close. Tonight will bring an opportunity to show off your talents.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The stakes are high in this game. There’s no time to waste self-analyzing. If you feel guilty, find a way to forgive yourself. Absolve yourself.

And don’t go looking for new reasons to feel guilty.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Boring, thankless jobs and piddling little annoyances will happen. Those are the tests that ask, “Who are you?” The answer, invariably, will be: “Better than this.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Who deserves respect? Answer: Everyone you meet today.

Even those you encounter in a walkway or while passing through a door. Keep your eyes open, and you’ll be just fine.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

It is said that necessity is the mother of invention. You will today find it necessary to create a new way of doing your business. Whatever is in the way this morning will not be in the way tonight.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Focusing too hard on your own concerns will limit you.

Working on someone else’s work may be the cure for this day’s puzzle. Volunteer for the little and the big. You’ll feel better for it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You like good drama as much as the next person, but steer clear of it today. A mellow personal life will allow you to pursue a truly exciting goal.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Kindness isn’t an often celebrated virtue, but it’s the virtue that threads through the fiber of every important mission in life. No one grows or goes anywhere but through the kindness of another.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Spring is more than a season; it’s a metaphor for what is coming in your life. Under the ground, there is a dormant seed that will soon break through and grow to mighty proportions.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You have greater self-awareness these days, and it’s put to use in private, quiet moments.

Tonight, first save your money, and then spend what’s left -- you’ll be rich! (Spend your money and save what’s left, and you won’t be.)

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You don’t expect the kindness you show others to be immediately repaid. Right now you’re building up karma points, and it will come back to you in a big gesture later this month.
