NPD strives for community-based, proactive policing

The Newton Police Department is a busy place. It’s not just where you go to pay a parking ticket or obtain a police report, but it’s who you call if you run into a lost dog or when you see an altercation in a parking lot. Each officer is busy working and meeting a variety of needs at once, hoping to better serve the community each hour.

The department is divided up into three categories: primary, which include day, evening and night shift lieu-

tenants and officers; special services, which include investigators and drug task force; and support services which includes an administrative assistant, records clerks and parking enforcement.

According to its most recent annual report, 2012, the department had 23 employees, 1,945 crime reports, 323 traffic accidents, 1,455 traffic citations, 951 arrests and NPD | 3A

Future of youth shelter discussed by supervisors

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The future of the former Jasper County Youth Shelter was discussed along with continued plans for demolition of the former Jasper County Care Facility at Tuesday’s Jasper County Board of Supervisors meeting.

Jasper County Director of Maintenance Adam Sparks told the board to get the building in good, working order it would take between $75,000 to $100,000 in refurbishment costs.

“These are the things that would kind of get it updated to a point where we could rent it or whatever the option is. These are the things we felt like we needed to do that are in bad, bad shape in that building,” Sparks said.

Replacing the windows throughout would cost approximately $30,000 and to repaint the outside after new windows are in would cost an additional $5,000 to $7,000. The furnace and air conditioning is working but is very outdated, Sparks said. It would cost between $30,000 and $35,000 to replace. Two of the four water heaters currently run but to replace all four would be another $2,500.

Brass, who is also in the Iowa National Guard, was the top runner for Iowa’s National Guard team at the Lincoln Marathon in Nebraska earlier this month.

Newton officer gives new meaning to ‘going the distance’

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When Curt Brass finished a 2014 marathon in a little more than four hours, the feedback he received didn’t match how he felt about his performance.

“Some people said ‘Curt, 4:08 is not a bad day,’” Brass said regarding the Athens, Ohio marathon. “But I did awful. I walked a portion of the race.”

Brass’ fierce determination and high standards for himself are part of what pushes him

to train for, and excel in, marathon running.

A veteran officer with Newton Police Department, Brass is also a U.S. Marine combat veteran and an active member of the Iowa National Guard, which recently chose Brass to be on its 2015 marathon team.

“What I love about marathons is that I enjoy pushing limits,” Brass said. “I enjoy seeing what my capabilities are, and how to expand them.

You’re really only competing against yourself.”

Warning light being installed at deadly intersection Work on new interchange won’t begin until 2017

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The Iowa Department of Transportation announced Tuesday that work has begun on an intersection warning light system at the intersection of U.S. 65, Iowa Highway 330 and Iowa Highway 117 near Mingo.

Weather permitting, the system is scheduled to be installed by May 21 in advance of the Memorial Day weekend. This warning system will work to increase safety at the intersection until the new interchange is built, which is scheduled to begin in 2017 and open to traffic in late 2018.

The Newton Daily News has

File Photo Intersection warning lights are being installed at the junction of U.S. 65, Highway Iowa 330, and Iowa Highway 117 near Mingo. Work on a new interchange won’t begin until 2017.

covered the controversies surrounding this intersection and the private land around it, most recently in a detailed March 12 investigative piece.

From 2003 to 2014, six fatalities were recorded in 80 total wrecks at the intersection, and the nearby Highway F17 crossing saw three fatal accidents in 31 total collisions, combining for one fatality for every 12 accidents.

The warning light system detects oncoming traffic on all segments of the intersection, and alerts motorists via a flashing yellow light. This par-

ticular system will warn motorists stopped at the stop signs — waiting to cross the main Iowa 330/U.S. 65 divided highway — that vehicles are approaching the intersection from U.S. 65 and Iowa 117. The system will also warn motorists on Iowa 330/65 of vehicles at the stop sign waiting to cross.

Martin is going on the trip to receive training in techniques to communicate with her son Joshua, who was recently diagnosed moderate to severe on the autism spectrum. Joshua is mostly nonverbal and does not look at Martin when she is speaking to him.

She said he acts like he is in his own world, like he is somewhere else. “I chose this one because in Iowa it is very hard (to get into), there are waiting lists. Secondly, this is a program that with the DVDs that we had received already, the results were phenomenal. In a week’s time, I saw more eye contact, him wanting me to join him,� Martin said.

Martin leaves for the class June 5 and is still looking to raise several thousand dollars to pay for the training and traveling expenses. While in class, Martin will learn what is really going on moment to moment with Joshua along with tools and strategies to help expand his limiting prognoses. She will return a week later with the ability to run a home-based Son-Rise program with her son. “I have done a lot of research on this center and I know in my heart and soul that this is it. This is what I have been looking for.

It’s a really good program,� Martin said.

Local News Wright

Tear gas deployed during Baxter standoff

Continued from Page 1A interviewed state witnesses Richard Foster, James Billingsley, Tiffany Ewing and Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty who previously testified to their violent encounters with the dog.

“Based on all the work I’ve done there’s no evidence prior to this tragic incident with (Arndt) on April 22, 2013 that would suggest (the dog) presented a specific, unusual or serious danger to (Arndt) when she was left unsupervised by the defendant,” Berman said.

He also testified if a dog is aggressive by nature, it’ll show at a very young Wright age. Even though a dog is aggressive towards a mailman or another dog there would be no reason to believe it would show aggression to kids, he said.

During the state’s case, Bennett informed the jury about two occasions the terrier attacked the defendant’s other dog, which caused it to need veterinarian attention.

The incidents were addressed by previous defense witnesses earlier in the day.

Berman said there ‘s no parallel from a dog attacking another dog to that same dog attacking a kid.

During his testimony, Berman explained many types of aggression dogs can have – specifically territorial aggression and idiopathic aggression – to the jury. He explained idiopathic as being an “unpredictable aggression” the defendant’s canine could have shown that day.

He explained the encounters state witnesses testified to earlier as most likely being a dog protecting its territory. Which would mean there’s no reason to believe the canine would act the same way to Arndt, who was not a stranger to it.

However, during cross examination by Assistant Jasper County Attorney Kelly Bennett, Berman was asked if it was possible the canine attacked Arndt because of pain aggression – when a dog acts out after being hurt.

Bennett also asked him if Arndt’s injuries could have been from the dog being protective of the defendant’s daughter, who was also outside with Arndt.

“Anything’s possible,” Berman said. “I’m saying it’s possible, but I’m not saying it’s probable.”

Five and a half months of investigation and interviews led to Berman to present his opinion to the jury that there was “no evidence” to support Wright could have foreseen the incident with Arndt.

“Nobody said they told (Wright),” he said. “I was looking for that because this case turns on that,” The defense began the day presenting its opening argument and calling the defendant’s husband, Wes Wright, and mother-in-law to the stand.

Wes Wright, the defendant’s husband, was one of five witnesses who testified Tuesday morning — all saying the defendant’s American Staffordshire terrier never gave them reason to believe it would attack Arndt.

Two friends of the defendant also testified. During cross-examination each told Bennett if they witnessed the encounters referenced in earlier testimony by Billinglsey, Foster and Halferty, their opinions about the dog being friendly would not change.

The defendant alleges she was doing a load of laundry when Arndt was attacked in the backyard, but the defense argued Tuesday Jena Wright was still keeping an eye on the children outside.

Sydney Rinehart lived in the residence prior to Jena Wright and her family and testified the house has a very large and “very thin window” in the living room overlooking the backyard.

“You could hear everything, even with the washer and dryer going,” the former resident said.

Defense Attorney TJ Hier also called the defendant’s mother-in-law to the stand — who was present at the time of Jena Wright’s arrest.

Jena Wright is being tried for misdemeanor charges of assault on a peace officer causing bodily injury and interference with official acts. The defendant’s mother-in-law testified Jena Wright was not causing a lot of commotion when former Prairie City Police Chief Louis Modlin placed her under arrest April 23, 2013.

Jena Wright could face up to 25 years on a charge for child endangerment resulting in death, a Class B felony, and 10 years on a charge for neglect or abandonment of an independent, a Class C felony.

Closing arguments are expected to begin Wednesday afternoon.

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News BAXTER — Law enforcement was forced to use tear gas to subdue a man following an hour-long-standoff in Baxter Tuesday night. The individual was barricaded inside a home threatening to kill himself.

According a statement released by the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office, the unidentified man was threatening to harm himself with a needle and was

observed by officers brandishing a sword inside the residence.

The Baxter Police Department called in assistance from sheriff ’s deputies at 8:52 p.m. after the on-duty officers received a tip from a woman who was speaking with the man on Facebook, claiming he was going to harm himself.

Multiple officers were called to the Baxter home, establishing a perimeter. A sheriff ’s office negotiator attempted to convince the man to stand down

Newton has changed and evolved in the last 10-20 years, from being a factory town with those demographics to a more tourist destination, NPD Lt. Wes Breckenridge said.

“We’re now serving a somewhat different customer. We still have our base customers here but we have the customers that come in for other events in Newton, not just the Speedway, but other events Newton brings in,” Breckenridge said. “We have had to change our approach toward servicing those customers with traffic control, crowd control, and what we can do to prepare ourselves for the heavy influx of a lot of customers at once.”

Over that time, the department has grown and strives to become community advocates, working with residents through discussion and education.

“We’ve really developed over the years a more community-based policing, a more proactive, more interaction with the citizens through things such as Coffee with a Cop and school resource programs. It’s been a lot of fun to be able to do these events,” Breckenridge said.

The process to become an officer can be a lengthy one.

A list of certified individuals from the test are given to the police chief and those individuals are asked to attend, if they haven’t already, the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy for training, plus an addition 12-week field training with the Newton Police Department.

In 1962, President John F. Kennedy signed a proclamation which designated May 15 as Peace Officer Memorial Day and the week of May 11 as National Police Week. Currently, tens of thousands of law enforcement officers from around the world converge on Washington, D.C. to participate in a number of planned events which honor those that have paid the ultimate sacrifice.

The Newton Police Department knows that sacrifice all too well as it has lost three of its own heroes, Officer Bobby Barrickman, Officer Daniel McPherren and Lt.

If it is just going to sit there and we are going to have equipment out there to tear down the county home we might as well think about getting rid of it.”

Supervisor Joe Brock agreed that it would take in the area of $100,000 and said that there had been potential for the mental health department to use it, but that fell through. The board does not want to sell the property because of the proximity to the care facility land they al-

Broadway performers are ‘five-tool players’

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | May 13, 2015

“Stampede — in the gorge — Simba’s down there!”

There are hundreds of great lines in the original “Lion King” movie. While it’s tough to believe the movie was first released more than 20 years ago, it’s also tough to believe the amazing skill set required to bring an animated piece onto a stage in a traveling production.

While I probably won’t be able to see “Disney’s the Lion King” before this particular Des Moines run ends, I have gained a new appreciation for what it takes to be a stage performer.

Athletes — especially baseball players — are asked to master a number of different skills. A truly gifted baseball player can hit for power, hit for average, steal and take extra bases, throw hard and accurate and can field the ball.

A five-tool stage performer, by my definition, would be someone who can sing, dance, act, play at least one instrument and write scripts, although the acronym EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar

and Tony awards) technically only covers singing, acting and dancing.

Only 16 people, including James Earl Jones and Barbara Streisand, have earned all four of those entertainment-industry awards.

My girlfriend, Jacqui, and I were fortunate to meet one of the “Lion King” cast members in another state a few years ago, and we’ve remained in touch — and gained even more respect for how tough it is to do a live stage performance.

We haven’t been able to catch a performance, but the limited amount of publicly televised promotional video of the “Lion King” demonstrates how high the standards needed to be in the cast.

Broadway could really promote itself and its industry more by allowing the kind of free-reign video recording that has become the industry norm for pop concerts.

But maybe that’s a form of selling out that would have made stage performance less nuanced, less mysterious, and that might

have hurt the profession in a way that wouldn’t hit other forms of entertainment. I envy anyone who can perform on a stage, from those who brave a school play to the most veteran Broadway talent raised in theaters.

Singing and dancing seem to be skills I was born without. This is not a self-esteem issue or an attempt to look good by admitting a liability millions of others should acknowledge about themselves — just a subjective observation.

Some people tell me the right kind of training, anyone can learn to sing and dance — or at least carry a tune or learn dance steps.

It seems like at least some natural talent has to be there — it certainly doesn’t hurt. One of the elements of Internet-era pop music is that all voices can be repaired in studios, however an artist likes, and it isn’t even necessary to find the record-company talent to help electronically “fix” one’s voice.

Plus, as the world’s population grows, so grows the number of talented singers. I might be able

to karaoke-hack my way through some fairly basic songs, but I will never be the artist formerly known as Brooks. There are some who possess far more control over their voices than the rest of us.

Regarding dancing, stereotypes about white guys not being able to dance are unfair, but it’s not because I made a convincing argument in favor of equality through dance moves alone. Two left feet would be a huge improvement for me. Acting seems to be something I might have had a knack for, had I stuck with it.

While most of us can think of a few movie actors who cannot seem to “Keanu” their way out of a basic acting class, effort and dedication would probably help most of us if we delved into this area.

This is especially true for TV and movie actors, who get many takes and rehearsals to get it right. Stage performers go live, however, and I salute them for their bravery.

Shut Pam Geller up, or we will all die

Mindful kids, mindful world I often ask my youngest yoga students, “What does it mean to be mindful?”

“Mindful is when you pay attention to right now,” one of my first graders once responded. “Like your mind is full of just right now.”

Pretty spot on.

Researchers at Berkeley define mindfulness as the “mom e n t - b y - m o - Landesberg ment awareness of our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and surrounding environment.”

I teach yoga and mindfulness practices to 300 students a week at the River School in Washington, D.C. The class gives students as young as 2 years old tools to connect with their breath, bodies, and feelings through music, movement, stories and relaxation.

My curriculum allows students, teachers and parents the opportunity to pause and breathe. To stop and notice. To listen and feel.

I’m grateful I get to bear witness to the transformative effects these practices have.

I often hear stories of students using deep breathing as a tool to self-regulate in a difficult moment, unprompted by their teachers or parents.

Teachers tell me how their own yoga and mindfulness practices help manage the stress of a chaotic classroom and a heavy workload.

Parents report how it has helped them be more calm and patient with their children.

And more and more research is backing up what I’ve seen.

Studies are showing that mindfulness training actually leads to structural changes in the brain. It can enhance attention, awareness, impulse control and executive functioning skills. It helps cultivate compassion and overall well-being in both children and adults.

I began teaching yoga and mindfulness because of their importance in my own development. Contemplative practices gave me tools at a young age to cope with the emotional struggles of losing a parent.

I’m my biggest student, usually teaching others what I need to learn myself. It’s a daily practice for me to breathe, feel and notice. When I’m disciplined in my practice, I feel

kinder and more aware, inwardly and outwardly.

Sound like something you’d like to try? This is what the practice looks like for me: Breathe: Try counting each breath, slowly breathing in and out. Make your exhales longer than your inhales for a deeply relaxing effect.

Notice: Take a pause, observe what’s going on, and identify what you’re feeling before acting or reacting. This pause between stimulus and reaction is mindfulness.

Feel: When you feel the onset of a challenging emotion, don’t chase it away. Allow yourself to sit with it.

Breathe. Notice. Feel. Try it alone or with your children, family members, friends, or colleagues. You don’t need a fancy studio or a guru to reap the benefits of yoga and mindfulness.

These tools, in their profound simplicity, have the power to change an individual’s life, a generation of children, and our world — moment by moment, breath by breath.

Last week, Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly announced that Pamela Geller, the woman who sponsored a draw M u hamm a d event in Te x a s , threat- By Ben Shapiro e n e d America’s national security. Geller, said O’Reilly, “spurred a violent attack.”

He continued, “Insulting the entire Muslim world is stupid. ... It does not advance the cause of liberty or get us any closer to defeating the savage jihad.”

On the same network, Juan Williams stated that Geller “engaged in gratuitous offensive behavior that led to the deaths of two people.” The New York Times editorialized that Geller “achieved her provocative goal” with her “exercise in bigotry and hatred posing as a blow for freedom.”

Geller, the narrative goes, should never have encouraged people to draw Muhammad because it was “provocative.” To which the answer should be: So what? Women attending school in Afghanistan “provokes” radical Muslims into throwing acid on their faces, but that does not mean that women should not go to school in Afghanistan or be condemned for doing so.

Geller, the narrative goes, made Americans less safe by provoking radical Muslims, as though Muslims have no responsibility to act like decent human beings — as though, faced with the prospect of a cartoon of their prophet, Muslims have no choice but to grab guns and go a-huntin’. But that’s nonsense. What truly spurs radical Muslims into violence is the well-evidenced belief that if they kill enough Muhammad cartoonists, soon people will stop drawing cartoons of Muhammad.

Geller, the narrative goes, was “Islamophobic”

in her call for drawings of Muhammad; unlike Charlie Hebdo, Geller was not an equal opportunity offender of all religions, and therefore showed particular animus toward Islam. But failure to equally attack all religions does not make satire of one religion illegitimate — were that the case, The New York Times would have to answer why drawing Muhammad presents deep problems, but running simultaneous ads for the slanderous “Book of Mormon” musical is hunky-dory.

So, why the assault on Geller? The answer is simple: Too many Westerns have bought into the notion that personal responsibility can be jettisoned in favor of judgments about identity.

Geller is the problem, in this view, because she is an upper-class Jewish woman from New York City; her rivals are poor Muslims from Phoenix. They are, by the nature of their identities, members of the victim class. She is, by contrast, a member of the victimizing class. Nothing either party can do can change their status in this equation. Therefore, according to Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau, even the Muslims who shot up Charlie Hebdo in France were justified: “Ridiculing the non-privileged is almost never funny — it’s just mean. ...

By attacking a powerless, disenfranchised minority with crude, vulgar drawings closer to graffiti than cartoons, Charlie wandered into the realm of hate speech.”

How do proponents of this victim/victimizer identity dichotomy determine who falls into which category? They simply look at the socioeconomic status of those involved and make a determination of who is worse off.

Thus, black Baltimore rioters were not people acting without any sense of values, but rather victims provoked by injustice from a non-existent white power structure in Baltimore.

‘Dear abby’ dinner promises good food and good times DEAR ABBY: We have enjoyed an international dinner club with three other couples for many years.

Besides an international theme, we occasionally have other theme dinners. The host couple chooses the country and is responsible for the main course. Another couple brings an associated entree, the third couple brings dessert and the fourth couple provides the wine. We rotate responsibilities so we host only once every four months.

We have become close friends over many memorable meals together, sharing pregnancy announcements, child rearing, graduations, weddings and anniversaries.

I think a “Dear Abby” dinner would be fun to host, and I’d love to plan a meal around your cookbooks.

Would you please advise how this avid reader might get copies? — CHEF MIKE IN CANADA DEAR CHEF MIKE: I know a Dear Abby dinner party would be enjoyable, because readers have written to tell me they’ve hosted one, and it made for an interesting and fun evening. The recipes are traditional, easy to read, simple to prepare and delicious.

As I mentioned to a reader from Little Rock who inquired about the booklet, one hostess described decorating her place cards with appliqued hearts and tiny flowers. She created a centerpiece by making a “bouquet” of envelopes addressed to Dear Abby.

Another woman copied questions from past columns, printed them out and made them into a party game, instructing her guests to supply the answers. She said that after a few glasses of wine, some of the answers they came up with were hilarious, but not suitable for printing in a family newspaper.

My cookbooklet set contains more

than 100 tasty recipes ranging from soups to salads, appetizers, main courses and desserts. The recipes can also be used for holiday celebrations and other special occasions. To order, send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $14 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby — Cookbooklet Set, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. My mother used many of these recipes for dinner parties, and so have I. I particularly recommend the Pecan Pie recipe — which has been printed in this column before because it has taken prizes at county fairs. It was given to Mama by the chef at the now-demolished Phoenix Hotel in Lexington, Kentucky, and people rave about it.

DEAR ABBY: Folks always tell me that gals like to be wooed, but when I holler “woo” at them, they give me dirty looks. What’s up with that? — ABBY FAN FROM TWITTER DEAR FAN: Decades ago, “gals” would have been flattered. But since the women’s movement, many females would regard your attempt to be friendly as a form of sexual harassment rather than a compliment.

Instead of “hollering,” try saying hello and you may get better results.

Vicki Granado, a spokeswoman for Energy Transfer Partners, said Tuesday in a statement that the company was investigating the allegation about an agent, who she said was working for a contractor. Hughie Tweedy says that he has recorded proof that an agent for the Bakken Pipeline offered to get him a prostitute.

Man pinned between cement trucks NORTHWOOD — A 54-year-old Minnesota man has been hospitalized after being pinned between two cement trucks in northern Iowa. The Worth County Sheriff ’s Office says the accident occurred around 8:45 a.m. Tuesday near Northwood State Bank on Central Avenue in Northwood. The office said Dale Leeman, of Clarks Grove, Minn., was standing behind one truck when the second truck backed up, pinning him.

DES MOINES — Iowa’s transportation department has rejected requests by officials in four cities to keep operating some speed cameras in their areas.

The state Department of Transportation issued the denials in letters dated Monday to officials in Cedar Rapids, Des Moines and Muscatine. A letter to Council Bluffs was dated May 6. DOT Director Paul Trombino says in the letters the cameras are not making interstate highways or nearby intersections safer.

Sheriff can add to force of reserve deputies

5 Jury selection hits standstill in

SIOUX CITY — Woodbury County supervisors have removed a cap on the number of volunteer reserve deputies the sheriff can use. The board voted 3-2 on Tuesday to eliminate the limit of 25. Sheriff Dave Drew says removing the limit means his office won’t have to return to the County Board whenever it needs to increase its volunteer force. The board voted in July 2013 to limit the number of volunteer reserve deputies to 25, five fewer than Drew sought at the time.

Northwood murder case

FORT DODGE — Jury selection in the trial of a 41-year-old Northwood man accused of killing his former girlfriend has hit a standstill amid challenges to the racial makeup of potential jurors. An attorney for Tyrone Washington Jr. argued Tuesday that the system in Webster County underrepresents blacks. Of prospective jurors who gathered Monday, 111 identified themselves as white and one as Native American.

Egg, meat prices begin to rise as bird flu spreads DES MOINES (AP) — Prices for eggs and turkey meat are rising as an outbreak of bird flu in the Midwest claims an increasing number of chickens and turkeys. Market experts say grocery stores and wholesalers are trying to stock up on eggs, but there’s no need to worry about having enough turkeys for Thanksgiving.

The cost of a carton of large eggs in the Midwest has jumped nearly 17 percent to $1.39 a dozen from $1.19 since mid-April when the virus began appearing in Iowa’s chicken flocks and farmers culled their flocks to contain any spread. Neighboring Nebraska reported its first case of bird flu Tuesday, affecting 1.7 million chickens at an egg farm in Dixon County. A much bigger increase has emerged in the eggs used as ingredients in processed products such as cake mix and mayonnaise, which account for the majority of what Iowa produces.

Brass Continued from Page 1A Brass, 41, got into marathon running when an NPD co-worker suggested he enter the Dam to Dam run in Des Moines in 2012, when it was still a 20-kilometer event. He ended up entering the Des Moines Marathon a few months later, and before long, he was entering distance events regularly.

His latest eye-opening performance was May 3 at the Lincoln Marathon in Nebraska. He was the Iowa National Guard team’s fastest runner, finishing the race in 3 hours, 9.37 seconds, helping lead the Iowa team to eighth place among guard units represented.

Brass was active-duty in the Marines for four years in the early 1990s, shortly after finishing high school, and saw combat during his time serving in the Marine reserves from 2002 to 2011, so it’s not as if he just started facing huge challenges recently. However, he said, marathon running requires clearing mental hurdles in a very unique way.

“When I finally decided to train for marathons year-round (in January 2014), I had to really change my diet to accommodate my running,” Brass said. “I still did a lot of the shorter and smaller races, but I was gearing for the 26.2-milers.”

Brass has even competed while out of state training with the guard, in environments as different as Texas and Tennessee. He learned about the Iowa team after other guardsmen saw him running after drill sessions at the guard complex near Des Moines International Airport and submitted a time from another recent event that led to him being named to the 2015 Iowa team.

Brass’s time in Lincoln ranked him not only tops among the five Iowa guardsmen, but also 24th among the 75 guardsmen to finish the race. He was 52nd overall among the 1,147 people to finish — third among the 115 men ages 40-44, and 48th among all 696 male finishers.

“It was a pretty warm day, and that might have kept me from hitting seven-minute miles toward the end,” said Brass. “A

CEDAR RAPIDS — Four relatives were charged in Iowa on Tuesday with conspiring to smuggle guns and ammunition to Lebanon that were hidden with equipment exports and supplies for Syrian refugees.

Federal agents intercepted cargo containers in March and again last week that were bound for Beirut carrying a total of 152 firearms and 16,000 rounds of ammunition, according to a criminal complaint unsealed Tuesday.

The suspects were identified as Ali Herz, 50 and his 22-year-old son, Adam Herz; Ali Herz’s younger brother, Bassem Herz, 29; and Bassam Herz’s wife, Al Sarah Zeaiter, 24. All four live in Cedar Rapids, where they were arrested Tuesday as local, state and federal officers executed search warrants in the city.

During initial court

appearances Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Linda Reade ordered them jailed pending a detention hearing set for Friday.

“We believe there is immense risk to public safety,” said Assistant U.S. Attorney Rich Murphy.

The four said little in court, where they appeared in street clothes, their wrists handcuffed and legs shackled. Their attorneys declined to comment on the allegations following the hearing.

The complaint says the four came under suspicion as they stockpiled more than $100,000 worth of guns and ammunition legally purchased from dealers in eastern Iowa over the last 17 months. A gun store owner in February expressed concerns to authorities after the group twice purchased all of his store’s 5.7 millimeter ammunition. One of the men also requested accessories for military-style rifles after reviewing a

text message written in a foreign language, the owner reported.

On Tuesday, agents searched a pizza shop linked to Bassem Herz; a Cedar Rapids address tied to Adam Herz; and Midamar Corp., a maker of halal foods whose shipping service the alleged conspirators used to transport the firearms.

No one with Midamar was charged in the alleged plot. Midamar attorney Michael Lahammer said company employees were unaware the weapons were in the containers and weren’t involved with packing them. He said a company named in the complaint, Herz Enterprises, contracted with Midamar to use its shipping facility, which is made available to other exporters.

Midamar was “used to facilitate this illegal activity by Herz Enterprises, if what the government says is true,” he said.

The firearms found in March were hidden inside of a container that

had three skid loaders that were being exported and Midamar boxes marked “Syria” that were filled with clothing, shoes, honey and household supplies.

Midamar made arrangements to ship the container after its founder, Bill Aossey, promoted a clothing drive for Syrian refugees stranded in Lebanon, the complaint says. In an online posting seeking donations, Aossey wrote that the supplies would be added to an equipment container already scheduled for export.

After the container arrived by train at a seaport in Norfolk, Virginia, investigators found 53 guns and 6,800 rounds of ammunition during a March 26 inspection.

Last week, agents searched a container the suspects had brought to Midamar for shipment that had 99 firearms, over 9,500 rounds of ammunition and firearms parts and accessories that were hidden in skid loaders and inside suitcases and boxes that contained clothing.

lot of folks were ‘feeling’ the warm day, but I didn’t really feel the heat until, like, mile 18 to 20. Mile 20 is where I really tried to kick it up a notch.”

As a police officer, Brass is always looking at how well events are secured and operated.

He said he really liked the setup of the Lincoln Marathon, which featured an initial loop back toward the finish line that allowed runners to “opt out” at a shorter distance, instead of running a sec-

ond loop that completes the 26.2-mile marathon.

“The police really did a phenomenal job with that event,” he said.

Brass’s goals in the years ahead include breaking the three-hour mark. He said that’s easier in colder conditions. He also wants to help lead the Iowa National Guard to team to great success; Iowa place eighth among guard teams in Lincoln, and he’d like to compete in a 100-mile race.

“The most I’ve run

competitively so far was in Quad Cities, which was a 50-miler,” he said.

Acting Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess praised Brass’s efforts.

“We are proud of officer Brass’s accomplishments and are fortunate to have such a dedicated officer working for our department and serving the community,” Burdess said. “Earning a spot on the National Guard Marathon team is a testament to his dedication to fitness.”

Burdess said police work can take its toll on the mind and body, and Brass’s running keeps him in top shape on more than one level.

“As a police officer, being physically fit is important for career longevity, as well as having the ability to handle the numerous physical and mental challenges the job entails,” Burdess said.

Newton Police Department Q&A

By Kate Malott

Brian Foster

Mary Ann Allspach

Wes Breckenridge

Dillon Lavely

Hometown: Ames NPD Years: 7.5 years Personal interests: “I’m a big racing fan, so I like to go race myself and spectate as well. Sporting events, Cubs games.”

What do you do: “As the SRO, I’m responsible for being a liaison between the schools and the juvenile justice system, the courts. I’m responsible for all the schools in the district and I can get any kind of call between fights or vandalism at the high school to something minor at Thomas Jefferson or Berg Elementary.”

Why you wanted to become an officer: “My dad was a deputy sheriff in Story County when I was growing up, and I had the opportunity to do ridealongs with him and I got to hear some of his war stories at the dinner table. I thought it sounded like a really fun thing to do so I jumped at it as early as possible.”

Most challenging part of job: “The vast difference in the people that I deal with in the schools. I’ve had kindergarten, first-grade kids that are violent. They have assaulted teachers or other students.

They’re on such a different level, it’s very hard to try and control someone like that, as opposed to a high school student or the parents at home, because they don’t know the difference between right and wrong. They’ve probably never learned that in their life. How do you try to correct the actions like that when they don’t understand what they’re doing?”

Most enjoyable part of job: “Doing things like the police academy is a lot of fun. I’m getting the opportunity to teach kids about police work similar to what I had the opportunity to do.

Growing up behind it, learning more about the job, getting that hands-on approach to it really promotes an interest in the profession. Just being able to interact with the kids is a pretty positive and neat thing to do.”

Hometown: Newton NPD Years: 25 years Personal interests: Grandkids, traveling What do you do: “The main thing would be records, incident reports, data entry, just compiling all the paperwork that goes along with the reports, narratives. There’s research for different types of information that different departments might need.

Preparing paperwork for officers to go to court, and scheduling to make sure they’re available. We have state and city charges so we deal with the county attorney and city attorney. We take phone calls with lots of different types of questions which don’t always pertain to the police department but we try to answer them or send them to someone who can.

There’s hundreds of others.”

Most challenging part of job: “As an older person, the changes.

There’s lots of computer changes, program changes, that’s probably the biggest challenge for me is learning computer issues.”

Most enjoyable part of job: “Working with my coworkers.

They’re a great bunch of people and after 25 years here they’re sort of family, although they have dwindled away over the year. And just the satisfaction. I like to get things done.”

Hometown: Newton, Monroe NPD Years: 22.5 years Personal interests: Family, attending children’s events, coaching Newton Christian School LEGO League, volunteering, biking, golfing with wife and triathlons.

What do you do: “I am a lieutenant in charge of investigations, so my responsibility encompasses major case coordination and evidence tracking and auditing. When we get cases in and patrol takes the initial call, if it’s a case that rises to the level of seriousness or if other jurisdictions outside of ours are involved, investigations will then evaluate that case, take it in and begin working that case. I’m also the department’s public information officer and also the department’s events coordinator so if we have major events come in like at the Speedway, I’m a liaison for that and for other people bringing things into the City of Newton.”

Why you wanted to become an officer: “I had family that was involved in law enforcement early on, so my career actually started about 25 years ago. I was a Jasper County Sheriff ’s Reserve. Al Wheeler was the sheriff at the time, and he’s the one who took me over to the judge to get sworn in. I had a lot of respect for Al Wheeler. Part of it was the family involvement plus the interest that I had to get involved.

Once I got involved with the reserves it just enticed me more.”

Most challenging part of job: “With some of the cases we work, your heart really goes into helping the victim, and sometimes when you see, especially young people or anyone for that matter, victimized, it’s challenging because you’re consoling them yet trying to catch the perpetrator and sometimes you don’t catch the perpetrator. That’s the challenging part is living with that, wishing you could have done more. And we see some not so pretty cases and that’s tough too.”

Most enjoyable part of job: “I love getting out in the community and doing things in the community, and for me, Coffee with a Cop or helping with human trafficking awareness, or participating in other programs that’s probably the funnest part, is getting out and interacting with the community.

And then the satisfaction, if we can, to bring closure to a victim in a case is probably the next best thing is that I like to be able to do that too.”

Hometown: Garden Grove NPD Years: 1.5 years Personal interests: “I like to mow my yard, play with my dogs, work out, physical activity like biking.”

What do you do: “Everything.

I’m in the middle of the day so I handle everything from lost puppies, to thefts at Walmart, to accidents, to drunks at night, domestics, burglaries when you come home from work. I have a pretty all encompassing part of the job.”

Why you wanted to become an officer: “I have a problem with people doing wrong stuff and I like to be involved in the stopping of that. That’s just the way I am. I don’t like injustice and I want to be on the frontline to see that it happens.”

Most challenging part of job: “Keeping everyone happy. Most everyone thinks that they’re a good person and always doing the right thing, stuff like that. Obviously my job is law enforcement, so when they do something that is against the law whether they are a a respected person in the community or someone who has been in jail 15 times, nobody likes getting in trouble and nobody likes consequences for actions. That’s difficult. It’s not for everyone. And a lot of stuff on the news about things that happens in other places. It has nothing to do with here but it still reflects on us because we’re seen all as the same. Whatever is going on elsewhere, even if it has nothing to do with us, is still interpret that we’re somehow responsible for that. That makes it tough because we want to have people come to us.”

Most enjoyable part of job: “Helping people who can’t help themselves, whether it be some old lady who had her credit card stolen and used at a bunch of different places, it’s nice to go arrest that person and make her feel like she got some justice out of it. I enjoy doing stuff like that. I’m very much engaged in the police work type.”

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’ High’s Hannah Rhoads goes down and the ball flies backwards in a collision with Pella’s Kara Wichhart (15) during action Tuesday night at Newton’s H.A. Lynn Stadium in a clash of Class 2A ranked teams. No. 8 Pella got past No. 9 Newton, 1-0, in the Little Hawkeye Conference contest.

No. 8 Lady Dutch edge No. 9 Cardinals, 1-0

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High’s Cardinals went into Tuesday night’s home game ranked No. 9 in Class 2A. Visiting Pella’s Lady Dutch were ranked No. 8 in Class 2A. The game at H.A. Lynn Stadium was what you would expect from two ranked soccer teams. Throw in that it was a Little Hawkeye Conference contest and fans got their money’s worth.

In a very physical game, the Lady Dutch’s Kayla Langstreet got a shot past Newton’s sophomore goalkeeper Ashlee Freese at the 21:47 mark of the first half. That was the only goal of the game as the Lady Dutch notched a 1-0 win over the Cardinals.

“I’m proud of our girls. They played well and have nothing to be ashamed of with this game,” said Abby Lamont, Newton head coach, following the game. “Pella’s a great team and will probably end up at state.”

Lamont said the Cardinals played a defensive game in the first half. She said Pella came out swinging and got the goal.

Things changed in the second half.

“The girls didn’t quite find their tempo in the first half.

They played like the No. 9 team they are in the second half. We played more aggressively and more offensively in the second half,” Lamont said.

“We put pressure on them, but couldn’t find the net.”

Newton had nine shots on

goal in the game and two corner kicks. Freese was credited with 13 saves.

Newton is 10-3 overall and 1-3 in conference play.

“We play ADM Friday at home, and we’ll pick ourselves up from this one and go forward,” Lamont said.

ADM is ranked No. 11 in Class 2A. The game is at 7 p.m.

Friday at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

Pella won the freshman game 3-0 Tuesday. The junior varsity game went to the Lady Dutch, 2-1.

Newton’s goal was scored

by Jordan Banfield to give the Cardinal JV a 1-0 halftime lead.

Addy Blom played in goal for Newton in both the freshman and junior varsity games. She blocked a penalty kick at the end of the junior varsity game.

“Addy played lights out tonight. She stopped a lot of shots in the two games,” Lamont said.

Little Dutch rip close one from Cardinals in LHC play

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PELLA — Falling behind 2-0 in the first half, Newton High’s Cardinal boys roared back to life in the second half Tuesday against host Pella.

The Cardinals tied up the Class 2A seventh-ranked Little Dutch, 2-2, with 34 minutes left in the game.

“They got the game-winning goal on a controversial call,” Newton head coach

Sackda Viravong said. “Chase Dykstra cleared the ball before it crossed the goal line, but the center referee and assistant referee called it a goal.”

The Little Dutch went up 3-2 with 2:30 remaining in the contest. That was the final score.

“We came out flat and looked out of place. Our players seemed to be tired. We made mental mistakes and we got punished for them in the first half,” Viravong said.

Pella led 2-0 at halftime.

“I told the boys them needed to wake up. We had fans who followed us to Pella and paid to see us play. We needed to give the fans something to cheer about,” Viravong said.

Derby winner’s Triple Crown bid could be derailed by stablemate BALTIMORE (AP) — To spoil or not to spoil. That is the question.

The Preakness Stakes on Saturday will present a rare, but not unprecedented, story line that could see the trainer of Kentucky Derby winner American Pharoah upend his chance at a Triple Crown if stablemate Dortmund avenges his Derby defeat.

“My job is to try to win all three races and to win every race I’m entered,” trainer Bob Baffert said in trying to explain his unique predicament.

While the post-position draw is later Wednesday at Pimlico Race Course, the field will include the first three Derby finishers, American Pharoah, Firing Line and Dortmund.

“If you’re going to be a Triple Crown winner,” the Hall of Fame trainer continued, “... he’s going to have to beat his stablemate. He’s got to beat Firing Line, and probably some other horses in there.”

Ahmed Zayat, the owner of American Pharoah, understands Baffert’s situation. The two are close friends. Their families are close. Both are fiercely competitive. And Zayat welcomes another opportunity to show off his “dream horse,” especially in taking on rival Kaleem Shah, a Baffert client and the owner of Dortmund.

“Am I concerned Dortmund can step up? Of course you are,” Zayat said. “You are concerned with all of them. But I think we’re better than all of them. I think we are a cut above.”

And if Dortmund wins?

“It’s not happening. We have a much better horse,” Zayat said, not as a boast but in his way of exuding confidence “I have tremendous faith in that horse. It’s just not happening.”

Two decades ago, it did happen. To another Hall of Fame

trainer, D. Wayne Lukas.

Two weeks after Thunder Gulch won the 1995 Derby, Lukas won the Preakness with Timber Country (Thunder Gulch was third). Three weeks after that, Thunder Gulch came back and won the Belmont Stakes (Timber Country was scratched with a fever).

For his part, Lukas said he felt no pressure from either of his high-profile owners in running back Timber Country — who incidentally was the beaten Derby favorite and the top choice in the Preakness.

“Look, when this kind of thing happens, you just do the best job with both of them,” Lukas, who has won a record 14 Triple Crown races, most recently the 2013 Preakness with Oxbow, said. “It’s so difficult to win these races. Bob has said, ‘If Dortmund wins it then so be it.’

That’s kind of the way it is.”

A similar plot developed for Lukas after Charismatic won the 1999 Derby. The trainer also sent out top contender Cat Thief in the Preakness, but Charismatic prevailed before finishing third in the Belmont.

More recently, after trainer Todd Pletcher won his first Derby with Super Saver in 2010, he also sent out Aikenite in the Preakness. The difference was Aikenite was the longest shot on the board at 30-1. Neither won; it was Baffert claiming his fifth Preakness with Lookin At Lucky.

“It’s always a tricky situation,” Pletcher said. “Here, you have the Derby winner and one of the major contenders who actually has a chance to upset American Pharoah. But you have to do what’s best for each individual horse and each individual owner. When you operate a large stable, you’re going to have situations like this.”

“Shelbey had a birdie on No. 6, which is a par 5 hole. Her second shot was on the green and she had an eight-foot putt for eagle. Her putt just lipped out and she tapped in for the birdie,” Enyart said.

Senior Abby Jolivette shot a 46 and junior Emily Fitzgerald had back-to-back birdies on No. 4 and No. 5 on her way to a 46. Jessie Smith, a junior, finished with a 51.

“What an awesome day for our girls. They deserved this. They clearly made a statement as the best team in the conference,” Enyart said.

“They did this — 6-0 — on the road this year.”

Newton’s junior varsity also played Tuesday, winning its division with a 220. Norwalk

City-Monroe Thursday at Newton’s H.A. Lynn Stadium.

The junior varsity game is at 5:30 p.m. followed by the varsity contest at 7 p.m.

Newton’s junior varsity posted a 3-1 win over Pella. Justin Fischer scored two goals and Nick Rusk added a third, all in the first half, for Newton.

The junior varsity beat Oskaloosa, 3-0, on May 5. Rusk and Tyler Stanton

had a 228 and DCG shot a 254.

Freshman Taylor Dydell led the Cardinal JV with a 53 followed by sophomore Lizzy Coyle with 54, junior Alyssa Bartels with 55 and senior Hannah Scotton with a 58. Senior Olivia Maharry finished with 60 and junior Amber Sorenson shot a 67.
