Jury begins deliberations in fatal dog-mauling case

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News Jury deliberations in the case of a 26-year-old Prairie City woman charged with child endangerment in the 2013 dog-mauling death of 4-year-old Jordyn Arndt began at 2 p.m. Wednesday at the Jasper County Courthouse.

Jurors heard closing argu-

ments from Assistant Jasper County Attorney Kelly Bennett and Defense Attorney TJ Hier, but not before the state presented Wright a rebuttal witness who testified she was bit by the dog in

defendant Jena M. Wright’s presence in 2010.

Family members of Arndt have been in attendance throughout the trial. Jessica Arndt, the victim’s mother, was noticeably upset during closing arguments which highlighted photos of the victim, crime scene and dog.

One juror was seen crying.

Wright’s husband was also in attendance Wednesday.

The defendant could face up to 25 years in prison if convicted of child endangerment resulting in death, a Class B felony, and up to 10 years for a conviction of neglect or abandonment, a Class C felony. She is also facing charges of assault on a peace officer causing bodily injury and interference with official acts.

Arresting officer and for-

mer Prairie City Police Chief Louis Modlin testified the defendant kicked him during a struggle at 601 S. Norris St. in Prairie City.

Two alternate jurors were dismissed before deliberations began. The panel of eight men and four women resumed deliberations at 9 a.m. Thursday.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Thousands of 30-inch diameter pipes are being transported and stored in a staging field east of Newton on E. 76th St. W. in anticipation of the approval of the Dakota Access Pipeline. Dakota Access spokeswoman Vicki Granado said a procurement company began delivering the pipes in mid-April. Dakota Access will not take ownership of the materials until after the approval is final.

By Jamee A. Pierson and Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News A procurement company contracted by Dakota Access, LLC has been transporting pieces of 30-inch diameter pipeline into a staging field just 3-miles east of Newton, anticipating the approval of the 343.43-mile Iowa segment of the Dakota Access crude oil pipeline by the Iowa Utilities Board.

Dakota Access Spokesperson Vicki Granado confirmed Thursday that the procurement company has been purchasing pipe and delivering the materials to Jasper County since mid-April. The pipe is currently being stored at a farm field north of Highway 6 East on East 76th Street North, a gravel road. If IUB approves the project, Dakota Access — a subsidiary of Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners — will purchase the pipe from the contracted company.

Granado said Dakota Access notified the IUB during the pipeline’s planning stage in 2014 that it had begun to procure pipe for the project, but the materials did not start arriving in Iowa until last month.

“We hope that we have the approval to start construction

late this year or early next year,” Granado said.

As of Thursday morning Granado said she did not know if the procurement company has other staging areas through the 18 Iowa county stretch of the proposed pipeline.

IUB Manger of Customer Service and Communications Don Tormey said Thursday the agency’s safety and engineering staff “were not aware of any pipe being delivered specifically for the proposed Dakota Access (Bakken) pipeline project.” The pipe staging is happening prior to the agency’s final public hearing to decide the fate of the pipeline.

The 1,134-mile oil pipeline would carry 570,000 barrels of crude oil per day. The project was proposed by Dakota Access in July of last year.

If approved by the IUB, the Iowa segment will be part of a connecting line between the North Dakota Bakken crude oil fields and a hub in Patoka, Ill. Approximately 33.73 miles of the planned 343.43 mile Iowa segment will go through Jasper County. According to documents provided by the ETP, Jasper County will be home to the longest stretch of pipeline in the Iowa segment.

Landowners near Mingo

and in rural southeastern Jasper County have already been approached by Dakota Access representatives to negotiate voluntary easements, which would give the company permission to excavate and lay the pipeline on the property following the project’s approval.

Kathy and Tom Holdefer’s Mingo home was in the original path of the pipeline. The project’s tentative route has since been moved several hundred yards to the southeast of their property, but the couple are still active in resisting the pipeline and educating other landowners about their options when approached by Dakota Access representatives.

Kathy Holdefer reacted to the development Thursday and said she believes delivering the pipe gives the perception the project is inevitable.

“This may be another intimidation tactic to perpetrate the image that this is a done deal when it is so far from being a done deal,” Kathy Holdefer said. “There is more movement against this project than ever before. There is a lot of resistance building to let other land owners understand they don’t have to give in to the company’s tactics.”

Legislature still deadlocked on school funding

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News As the state legislative struggles to reach an agreement on K-12 public education funding, other bills have

been thrust into the limelight, while others have faded into the background. The session has lingered into May for the second consecutive year; May 1 was the final day legislators were paid per-diem expenses.

The school-funding debate, which is the main factor creating the “overtime” days, is a largely a partisan battle about how much state revenue is really available for spending. Democrats contend

Many doctors find liquid biopsies are an advance in technology and less invasive on patients.

New blood tests, biopsies may transform cancer care A new type of blood test is starting to transform cancer treatment, sparing some patients the surgical and needle biopsies long needed to guide their care.

The tests, called liquid biopsies, capture cancer cells or DNA that tumors shed into the blood, instead of taking tissue from the tumor itself. A lot is still unknown about the value of these tests, but many doctors think they are a big advance that could make personalized medicine possible for far more people.

They give the first noninvasive way to repeatedly sample a cancer so doctors can profile its genes, target drugs to mutations, tell quickly whether treatment is working, and adjust it as the cancer evolves.

Two years ago, these tests were rarely used except in research. Now, several are sold, more than a dozen are in development, and some doctors are using them in routine care.

In Philadelphia, a liquid biopsy detected Carole Linderman’s breast cancer recurrence months before it normally would have been found.

“Had this test not been available, we may not have known I had cancer on my spine until symptoms showed up,” which may have been too late for good treatment, she said.

The huge potential for these tests is clear. The problem: There are no big, definitive studies to

show they help patients, how accurate they are, which type is best or who should get them and when.

Still, patients do better when drugs are matched to their tumors, and liquid biopsies may give a practical way to do that more often.

“I’m really excited about all of this,” said Dr. Razelle Kurzrock, a University of California, San Diego cancer specialist. “I spent most of my life giving drugs that were useless to people” because there was no good way to tell who would benefit or quickly tell when one wasn’t working, she said.

Who gets tested now The tests are mostly used when a tissue biopsy can’t easily be done, when the cancer’s original site isn’t known, or when drugs have stopped working and doctors are unsure what to try next, said Dr. Scott Kopetz, a colon cancer specialist at MD Anderson. The tests are catching on “faster than I anticipated,” he said.

At Philadelphia’s Thomas Jefferson University, Dr. Massimo Cristofanilli has used them on about 120 breast cancer patients, including two dozen like Linderman with a high risk of recurrence.

A tissue biopsy typically samples one section of a tumor, and tumors can vary widely, with different genes and hormones active in different parts, he said. Also, cancer that has spread often differs from the original site, and tumors change rapidly in response to treatment.

The Future A San Diego company, Trovagene, is working on an even faster, easier liquid biopsy — a test to detect tumor DNA in urine. One scenario: a patient collects a urine sample every day for a week after starting a new drug and ships them to a lab.

Ultimately, liquid biopsies might offer a way to screen for cancer besides the mammograms, colonoscopies and other methods used now. That raises even more questions, including when to call something “cancer” and whether it needs treatment if there are only abnormal cells in the blood.

How they work Early versions looked for whole tumor cells in blood. Newer ones look for free-floating cancer DNA, enabling gene profiling to see what mutations drive the cancer. Kopetz and Cristofanilli use one from Guardant Health Inc. of Redwood City, California, that has been sold in the U.S. since June 2014 and in parts of Europe and Asia.

Many companies are working on similar tests including Sequenom, a San Diego biotech that already sells one for prenatal screening, using fetal DNA in maternal blood. Many companies tried prenatal screening with fetal cells but it didn’t work, said chief science officer Dirk van den Boom. “Cellfree DNA really was the breakthrough” that enabled wide use, and the same could happen with these cancer tests, he said.

Water Aerobics Monday through Friday — 6 to 7 a.m. and 9 to 10 a.m.

Local News Pipeline Continued from Page 1A Dakota Access filed a petition with the IUB for a permit to construct the hazardous liquid pipeline Jan. 20. But before the permit is approved, the agency will hold a public hearing to determine if the pipeline project is within the public’s interest. Letters of objection and in support of the project will be weighed, and Dakota Access representatives will testify before the board during the hearing. A final determination will then be made by the 3-member panel appointed by Gov. Terry Branstad.

According to Iowa Code, the IUB is required to file a public notice announcing the hearing in each affected county for two consecutive weeks and cannot hold the hearing less than 10 days or before or 30 days after the last notice publication.

Dakota Access’s negotiating tactics have come under scrutiny in recent days amid allegations by a southeast Iowa landowner that a contracted representative for the company offered the services of a teenage prostitute in exchange for approval to use his land. Hughie Tweedy, of rural Montrose, told reporters Monday that the pipeline representative approached him with the offer on three separate occasions. The company is investigating the alleged incidents.

Legislature: Other non-fiscal bills trickle through Continued from Page 1A over K-12 funding is mostly between party leadership in both chambers.

One idea for a compromise is committing to the GOP’s proposed 1.25 percent increase, plus a onetime infusion of $55 million that would establish a middle ground between the partisan camps without violating House GOP principles of not taking surplus money to fund ongoing expenses.

“It’s a concept,” Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal (D-Council Bluffs) told the Associated Press. “It’s been discussed by both sides with some interest on both sides.”

Senate minority leader Bill Dix (R-Shell Rock) was skeptical about lawmakers being able to adjourn this week even with weekend work. “I just don’t see it happening,” he said.

Meanwhile, other bills have made some progress through the legislature in the overtime days of May. Medical marijuana legislation has made some headway, with both a bill in the House (HF 567) and one in the Senate (SF 484) making it past voting hurdles this month.

Both bills mention rescheduling marijuana on a different medical and law enforcement drug list on the state level, without addressing specific conflicts that come up regarding federal scheduling.

HF 567 was passed by the House by an 83-13 tally on March 17, with both

The Iowa Legislature is now in its second week of extra time in this year’s session, largely because K-12 education funding levels have not been approved.

Dan Kelley (D-Newton) and Greg Heartsill (R-Columbia) voting in favor. The Senate narrowly approved an amended HF 567 on May 5 by a 27-23 margin, with Sen. Chaz Allen (D-Newton) voting in favor of it and Sinclair voting against it.

The bill was amended by the Senate on May 7, and the House had not taken action on the Senate amendment as of press time Thursday.

SF 484 was passed by the Senate by a 26-19 vote on April 15, with Allen and Sinclair voting in favor and against it, respectively, as they’d done with HF 567.

Once taken up by the House, it was assigned to the House Committee on Public Safety, where

Fantastic Selection of Mother’s Day gifts in stock!

Heartsill serves as a member. However, a fiscal note wasn’t added to the bill until May 5.

Allen cast one of the deciding votes Monday on HF 650, a bill that funds infrastructure projects, and is separate from the general fund. The bill, heavily amended in its Senate version, cleared the Senate on Monday by a 26-22 vote, with Sinclair among the senators opposed to it.

Both chambers assigned conference committees to reconcile the bill. It had been passed by the House on April 29 by a 97-1 vote, with Heartsill among the 97 “yes” votes and Kelley being the lone representative to vote against it.

In a news release, Allen said the legislation

includes $500,000 for improvements to the Newton Correctional Facility during the next fiscal year, and $250,000 more in FY 2017.

“These investments are urgently needed to modernize the industrial kitchens at the facility, making them both more efficient and safer for everyone involved,” Allen said.

Allen said HF 650, as amended by the Senate, also includes $3 million for state’s Housing Trust Fund, $7 million for community attractions and tourism, $500,000 for regional sport authorities, $500,000 for rural YMCAs. $5 million for improvements to state parks, $6 million for recreational trails, $3.1 million to improve water quality, $9.6 million to clean up and improve Iowa lakes and $2 million for water trails and the removal of dangerous low-head dams.

SF 506 is a bill that would change eminent domain procedures. It would make it a requirement than non-utilities, such as companies building pipelines to move oil for private companies, only proceed with eminent-domain steps if that process is recommended in an annual state energy report.

Allen is not the author of SF 506, but he is on the Commerce and Local Government committees.

He could not be reached for comment for this story.

Get real

By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | May 14, 2015

The only way to reach Florida’s Cayo Costa State Park is by boat. It’s a small barrier island off the gulf coast between Sarasota and Ft. Myers. When visitors motor up to the only dock on the island, a sign welcomes the adventurers with the slogan “Welcome to the ‘Real’ Florida.” This is a place to get real.

The island is equipped with crude, cold-water showers, primitive plots for tent camping and a few small huts to rent for those adventurers looking for a bit more shelter from the quick pop-up storm. There is a small ranger station on the island with a mini convenient

store, and the closest urban amenities are on the mainland 30 miles over Atlantic waters.

It doesn’t get more real than that.

It may sound isolated — and it is — but what I love most about the tropical desert island is the freedom that comes with that solitude. If folks leave their cell phones at home and take all the necessary provisions, the isolation will bring back the “real” you.

Miles of hiking through tropical trees — some trails that lead to secluded beaches — can remind a businessman/ woman, doctor, lawyer, grocery store clerk or journalist what it

means to be human. Emerging from the brush to an oceanfront trail head leaves a person with the water, waves, blue sky and their own thoughts. When surrounded by “the real Florida” it reminds the adventurer why they took that high-stress job and the reason they work 60 hours per week — it can be fulfilling but should be more of a means to get to this existential end.

Not maintaining any deadlines other than getting that last kayaking trip in before the sun goes down is freeing.

Standing on a beach with only a few other adventurous campers, all watching the sun

set in silence, creates a more personal connection than the most introspective conversation.

But there is no need to drive 1,500 miles to discover “the real” anything. Leaving the cell phone, tablet and laptop on the kitchen table and walking into Iowa’s backyard allows anyone to find “the real.”

Iowa’s rivers, trails and prairies can provide all the “real” an adventurer needs to ensure they remember why we struggle through the every-day.

Get lost and get real.

Letters to the Editor

Standing up for our police officers Christine Pauley Newton Responding to “Double standard in officers’ deaths,” I have additional concerns and complaints. Why don’t we stand up for all law officers, store owners, etc. who are abused.

I, too, believe it is a double standard when people fail to protest injustice of any kind. I would not dishonor all the honest hard-working law officers across the country who put their lives on the line daily for average citizens and even law breakers and criminals by wanting the kind of disgraceful looting, etc. shown in many recent cases.

These were not demonstrations or protests; they were crimes that the media encourages and we allow.

I would hope for people to stand up and be counted, outraged that lives are taken unnecessarily. I personally want to know why law officers have to be on pins and needles to the point that they have be careful to protect me from others.

Why are officers always painted as evil and law breakers and criminals all painted as good? Neither is true, there are some evil officers and some good criminals, but on the whole law officers are out to help and criminals are out to get.

I believe that if I am stopped by an officer and even arrested and I would be innocent of a crime (well-except maybe speeding) that I would quietly go with the officer and straighten it out, which means that if I am innocent it will be proven and if I am not, the law process would prevail. If I was mistreated I would pursue the law to

correct the problem, but I believe that if I go along with the process I will not be mistreated and I am Native American, a person of color.

Thirty years ago this would not be true. Why are we trying to reverse what we have gained? Why do we not strengthen the justice system and make sure law officers remember what they are about and punish criminals?

My outrage is perhaps against myself. Why haven’t I stood up for the people who protect me every day? Many times I have stopped a law officer and asked for accompaniment in a tricky situation, for advice and for help? I have lived many places and I have never have had one mistreat me. Do we want to keep giving our children and grandchildren excuses to do wrong? Do we really want a country without law enforcement?

questions, choosing plants and the purchase of plants.

A big thank you also goes to the following merchants for their generous contributions of annual bedding plants: Cox’s Greenhouse, Earl May Garden Center, Hendrickson Greenhouse, Hy-Vee Garden Center and Theisen’s Garden Center Hendrickson Greenhouse also provided the door prize. In addition, we want to express our appreciation to our “friends” at the Newton Daily News and KCOB for assisting us in getting the word out to the public.

Community donations to Project Awake are the main source of income to keep up the Newton Arboretum and Botan-

ical Gardens. We rely on residents of Newton and the surrounding area to provide their sweat equity and local dollars to help us continue to provide free public access to this wonderful facility and grounds. We invite anyone who wishes to participate in our ongoing efforts to contact the Project Awake Board by leaving a message with Newton Parks and Rees office.

We are extremely grateful to each and every person who contributed, in what ever way they did, to our largest fundraiser of the year If you missed out this year, watch for the Awake Plant Sale next year in early May.

Want some hot and sticky summer reading?

Try “Ninety-Two in the S hade ” or any b o o k b y Thomas McGuane.

He’s at home writing a ro u g h - By Curt Swarm a n d - Guest Columnist tumble Montana cowboy tale, or a Key West, sailto-Cuba story. Writers write about what they know. McGuane is as knowledgeable about shoeing a horse or building fence as he is sailing a sloop and navigating by the stars.

Keep the dictionary handy, or make it easy on yourself by ordering up any of McGuane’s numerous books on a digital reader or Kindle. With the Kindle, all one has to do to decipher the meaning of a word is move the cursor to the word. Voila, the internal Oxford American Dictionary obliges. And with McGuane, for me, there was a lot of looking up, i.e., reading McGuane is a learning experience, or what is popularly called a “teachable moment.”

Perhaps more enjoyable for men readers, McGuane tends to be sort of a misogynist in the old Hemingway style, but as with Hemingway, it’s his prose that carries the day.

Unlike Hemingway, however, McGuane can often get carried away in extra long sentences that leave you wondering, and going back to the beginning several times to figure out what’s going on.

But the effort is worth it. “They threaded the keys amid this aerial display over uncounted fish coursing the tidal basin, over a bottom itself home to a million kinds of animal, that walked, stalked, and scuttled by every tropism from heat to light, and lived in intermeshing layers, layer upon layer, that passed through each other like light and never touched.”

If I were in a college

literature class, and we were reading “Ninety-Two in the Shade,” I would ask for an explanation as to why, in the beginning of the book, McGuane weaves in and out of italics print in the middle of sentences. My interpretation is that the protagonist, Skelton, is weaving in and out of reality. It’s quite an unusual technique, but McGuane is no ordinary writer. When I finished “Ninety-Two in the Shade,” I went right back to the beginning and started over, as I did with several of his short stories.

Other McGuane books available through Amazon are “Gallatin Canyon”, “The Longest Silence: A Life in Fishing,” “The Sporting Club,” and “Crow Fair Stories,” but there are a whole slew of others, both fiction and non-fiction. Many of his short stores, although superbly written, left me dangling, and wishing he had written more.

From “Gallatin Canyon”: “His excuse was that life was repetitious anyway, without quite realizing that the source of despair’s enduring power was that it was always brand-spanking new.”

From “Crow Fair: Stories”: “His upper lip seemed permanently drawn down, as if he were shaving under his nose.”

While in graduate school, McGuane earned a Rosenthal Award of the American Academy and Institute of Art and Letters.

“Ninety-Two in the Shade” was nominated for a National Book Award. His books deal with life, death, suicide, rebirth, love, hate, passion and compassion. And much more.

So, if you become stifled by the heat, humidity, bugs, pollen and the humdrum of summer, slip into your air conditioned hideaway and find out what “Ninety-Two in the Shade” really feels like.

FAMILY CIRCUS

Words can’t heal the pain family endures after rape DEAR ABBY: What do you say when someone has been raped? I have a friend whose granddaughter was brutally raped and left for dead. I have asked a few questions about how she is doing and receive only cursory answers in response.

I know this incident has caused great sadness within this family. What do I say? What do I do? I am at a loss for words, and don’t know how to help.

Any advice you can offer would be greatly appreciated. — STYMIED IN ARIZONA DEAR STYMIED: You have shown your concern by asking. It should be clear to you that your friend is not comfortable discussing the family tragedy in detail. Now drop the subject, because sometimes being at a loss for words is a GOOD thing. When your friend is comfortable talking about it, he/she will do it without prompting.

DEAR ABBY: This past week I read to the students at a local grammar school. I read to kindergarteners, second- and fourth-graders. The children were great, quiet and attentive. They asked insightful questions about the stories.

The teachers, on the other hand, were a disappointment. They dressed the way I dress when I work in the yard — jeans and T-shirts. What an unprofessional image they presented to these youngsters! They missed a wonderful opportunity to be a positive example of women in the workforce by displaying a total disregard for their appearance or the impact they have on young minds.

— SAD TO SEE IN NEVADA DEAR SAD: I, too, remember when teachers dressed more formally in the classroom. But that was then and this is now. On the bright side, one would hope that teachers gain the respect and affection of their students less on how they look and more on the

love of learning they are able to instill.

DEAR ABBY: I recently took two days off from work to stay home with a cold. When I returned to work, a co-worker started commenting on how I might be contagious. Then during our lunch break, she commented that she didn’t want me to sit next to her “because she didn’t want to get sick.” I told her there were plenty of other seats if she preferred to sit elsewhere, and sarcastically thanked her for making me feel “welcomed.”

She continues to bring it up and is now pushing everyone to use hand sanitizer and sanitize their work areas.

I’m offended. I think it’s rude. A couple of co-workers are now sick with similar symptoms. Is she being rude, or am I oversensitive? And how should I respond? — OFFENDED IN THE MIDWEST DEAR OFFENDED: Your co-worker isn’t rude; she’s a germaphobe and with good reason. If everyone was careful to use hand sanitizer and sanitize their workstations and shared surfaces — door knobs, light switches, lunchroom equipment — there would be fewer individuals taking sick days. In a case like this, you should stop being defensive. The best way to respond to the woman is not to respond at all.

NPD plans for 2015 Race Season at Iowa Speedway in Newton Newton Daily News Law enforcement and Iowa Speedway officials are preparing for the 2015 race season at Iowa Speedway in Newton and are asking Iowans and visiting race fans to do the same. Ten races over the course of four weekends are scheduled this year. Attendance numbers will vary for each race, but organizers anticipate between 17,000 to 40,000 fans will attend each race day.

The Newton Police Department, Iowa State Patrol, Iowa Department of Transportation, Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office and Iowa Speedway Officials are working in conjunction with a private traffic control company to erect signs and cones that will clearly mark travel routes for fans attending the races.

Officers will be working intersections along the route to ensure traffic moves in a safe and efficient manner. Motorists traveling to and from Iowa Speedway are reminded to expect slow traffic and possible delays, obey all traffic laws, pay attention to flashing lights and signs, and always follow officers’ directions. Motorists

should avoid stopping on the traveled portion to ask questions unless it is an emergency.

The key to safe and efficient traffic flow with minimal delays will be a cooperative effort between the motoring public, law enforcement and speedway staff.

Designated Travel Routes All race traffic on Interstate 80: Take Interstate 80 to exit 168. Take exit 168 to Iowa Speedway Drive and turn south. Continue south on Iowa Speedway Drive and staff will direct you to the appropriate parking lot. Traffic will not be allowed to turn onto Rusty Wallace Drive from this interchange. Rusty Wallace Drive has been designated as an emergency route and will only be utilized for emergencies and to relieve traffic congestion.

Use the same route when exiting Iowa Speedway.

Newton Club Members and Suite Owners: Take Interstate 80 to exit 168 or exit 164. If arriving from the west, you are encouraged to utilize exit 164. Exit south onto U.S. 14. Continue traveling south on U.S. 14 approximately 3.6

miles. Turn east on South 60th Avenue. Continue east 2 1/4 miles and turn north on County Road S-74. Continue north 3.6 miles. Turn east on Rusty Wallace Drive; signs and staff will direct you to parking from there.

Use the same route when exiting Iowa Speedway.

Plan Ahead With a traffic increase of this magnitude, some delays are possible near the Speedway. Highways most likely to be affected are Interstate 80 near Newton at the 164 and 168 mile-markers and U.S. 14 south of Newton.

Officials expect traffic to be heaviest approximately two hours before and after each race. East- and west-bound exit ramps at the 168 interchange will be closed after the race. Also, southbound traffic on Iowa Speedway Drive at South 13th Avenue East will be closed after the race to allow for safe and efficient egress.

Fans are encouraged to arrive at Iowa Speedway before 6 p.m. for the NASCAR K&N Pro Series Casey’s General Stores 150 Saturday to

ensure that increased traffic at the gates as race time draws near does not delay their ability to get to a seat in a timely manner.

The NASCAR XFINITY Series race is scheduled to start at 1 p.m. Sunday. Parking lots open at 8 a.m. each day.

Law enforcement and Iowa Speedway Officials are sensitive to the needs of local businesses and residents. To avoid congested roadways and possible delays, Jasper County residents are encouraged to use alternate routes during peak traffic periods. Once egress begins, traffic will not be permitted to enter from County Road S-74 or Interstate 80 exit 168.

Race fans are encouraged to tune their radio to Energy 106.7 FM-KRTI before and after the event for the latest traffic information.

The Iowa Department of Transportation offers advice navigating Iowa roadways on the way to Iowa Speedway by dialing 511, Iowa’s free traffic information system. Information available through the 511 system includes travel delays, traffic crashes, roadway blockages and lane closures.

Little to sign autographs at Moo’s Newton Daily News NASCAR K&N Pro Series driver Jesse Little will be signing autographs at Moo’s BBQ, 103 W. Second St. N. from noon to 1 p.m. Friday.

Little will be carrying both the Get to Know Newton logo and Moo’s BBQ logo on the hood of his Toyota Camry in Saturday’s “Casey’s General Stores 150” race at Iowa Speedway.

Interview me Submitted Photo Newton residents have filled out more than 2,000 postcards for the inaugural Newton Postcard Project.

Thousands of postcards sent out through the Newton Postcard Project Newton Daily News For the past month, the community of Newton has been working to invite people to visit and learn more about their community through the Newton Postcard Project.

The Newton Postcard Project is a part of the neighborhood postcard project program — a global participatory art project that fosters community connection through storytelling.

Residents of Newton have filled out more than 2,000 postcards, and those postcards are being mailed out to residential addresses throughout the Des Moines metro area.

“Each postcard contains a personal note from a Newton resident,” said Nicole

Lindstrom, public services librarian for the Newton Public Library, “This project has been a really fun way for Newton citizens to share their stories and things they like about Newton.”

Many organizations and businesses across Newton participated in helping get postcards filled out, including businesses, nonprofits, schools and service organizations.

“It’s nice to the see the community come together to work on projects like this,” said Jessica Lowe, executive director of the United Way of Jasper County, “There are so many great things for people to get to know in Newton, the postcard project is a fun way to share what we love.”

The Newton Postcard Project is a part of the larger “Neighborhood Postcard Project” movement. With their participation, Newton joins communities such as San Francisco, Calif., Youngstown, Ohio, Antofagasta, Chile and other communities that turned to the people who know the community best to tell positive stories and invite people to town: the residents.

Newton’s participation in the Neighborhood Postcard Project is a part of the community’s Get to Know Newton campaign. Other community events from the Get to Know Newton campaign have included last spring’s “Get to Know Newton 250 Nationwide Race and last fall’s Newton VS Newton Challenge.

Submitted Photos On April 29, about 160 Newton High School seniors had the chance to get more familiar with the process of interviewing for a job in a unique event held at the Des Moines Area Community College Newton Campus, coordinated by Miranda Kulis of the Goodwill Career Connection Center. Several Jasper County employers, including the Newton Daily News, sent representatives to interview NHS students as sort of a practice session. Above, Craig Armstrong, the city of Newton’s development specialist, interviews NHS student Taylor Fisher as part of the event.

Jones, one of the young guns on the NASCAR Xfinity Series circuit, comes into Sunday’s Xfinity Series 3M 250 at Iowa Speedway looking for a second series win in 2015. He will be going up against a strong field of young drivers and veterans when the green flag drops at 1 p.m. Sunday.

The Xfinity Series 3M 250 will be televised on FOX Sports 1.

“It is just fun driving here at Iowa. It’s fun for the drivers and we all enjoy coming here,” Jones said following a Goodyear Tire test at the Speedway May 5. “I’m looking for-

ward to coming back here in a week for the Xfinity Series.”

The 18-year-old Jones comes off his first NASCAR Sprint Cup Series start at Kansas Speedway May 10. He was running in the top five at Kansas when the No. 18 Toyota got loose and hit the outside wall. He was subbing in for injured driver Kyle Busch on the Joe Gibbs

Racing team.

Following the wreck on Lap 196, Jones returned to the track on Lap 212 and finished 40th. He led a lap

in the Kansas race, which was his first in the Sprint Cup Series.

“It’s been a whirlwind for me. I’ve had a lot of opportunities to take advantage of this season.

The truck is different than the Xfinity car and the Xfinity car is different than the Sprint Cup car,” Jones said. “It’s cool for me to be in the place I am right now at such a young

age.

“Every driver has the goal of having a shot at the Cup Series. I’m just going to go out and learn at Kansas and hope for success.”

Jones had a tough go at Kansas Speedway with the crash in the Sprint Cup race plus he ran out of fuel in the truck race.

Hill out to turn his fortune at Iowa Speedway in K&N race

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Casey’s General Stores 150, NASCAR’s K&N Pro Series combo race, is the first race of the 2015 racing season at Iowa Speedway. Wide-Opening Weekend 2015 is here.

The 150-lap event is an annual clash between the K&N Pro Series East and West, and features a large group of NASCAR’s rising stars, including eight members of the 2015-16 NASCAR Next class.

The green flag drops on the Casey’s General Stores 150 at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Speedway. The Casey’s General Store 150 will be telecast on NBCSN May 21 at a time to be determined.

Ben Rhodes won the 2014 Casey’s General Stores 150, but is compet-

part of the Goodyear Tire test at the track.

“They brought a new tire for the K&N Series cars. I got a few laps using these tires racing a Phoenix, but the tires were different

here at Iowa. We couldn’t get front grip here,” Hill said after the testing. “By the end of the test, we were running some fast lap times, so I’m excited about coming back here.”

Hill sits three points behind K&N East points leader William Byron, who is also on the NASCAR Next list, as is Kyle K&N | 2B

ing in the Xfinity Series 3M 250 this weekend at Iowa.

Austin Hill, 21, is one of those recently named NASCAR Next. The Winston, Ga. native admitted Iowa Speedway has not been kind to him and his racing team. Hill finished ninth at Iowa in May 2014.

“We’ve had some hard luck here in the four times we’ve been here, but I’m excited about Iowa. It’s a great place to race,” Hill said.

Indians beat Cardinals CLEVELAND (AP) — Corey Kluber struck out 18 and allowed his only hit in the seventh inning, getting his first win this season in style, and the Cleveland Indians beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-0 on Wednesday night.

The reigning AL Cy Young winner didn’t yield a hit until Jhonny Peralta grounded a clean single to center with two outs in the seventh. A small crowd of 12,313 on a crisp night at Progressive Field gave Kluber (1-5) a warm ovation and he finished the inning by striking out Jason Heyward.

Kluber’s 18 strikeouts tied the club record for a nine-inning game held by Hall of Famer Bob Feller (1938.) It’s also the most strikeouts by an AL pitcher since Roger Clemens in 1998.

Kluber didn’t walk a batter and had a chance to break the major league mark of 20 strikeouts shared by Clemens and Kerry Wood. But he was pulled before the ninth after 113 pitches for closer Cody Allen, who got his fifth save.

Royals lose ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Prince Fielder homered and had three hits, Shin-Soo Choo hit a leadoff home run for the second straight game and Texas beat Kansas City, 5-2.

Choo pulled a 98 mph fastball from Yordano Ventura into the rightfield seats, and Fielder gave the Rangers a 4-0 lead with a two-run homer in the second inning.

Xfinity Continued from Page 1B He is out to change his luck around running this weekend in the 3M 250 at Iowa.

“We picked up a win here last year in the truck series.

Iowa is definitely a track I look forward to going to each year.

It is one of the first tracks I ran on when I got into NASCAR competition in 2013 with the trucks,” Jones said.

Jones runs part-time in the Xfinity Series and the Sprint Cup Series, but is running a full slate of NCWTS in 2015.

He said he will be back in June to defend his truck series race win at Iowa Speedway.

The 3M 250 will have a new champion since the 2014 Xfinity Series race winner, Sam Hornish Jr., is not returning

Blaney

this weekend. Fans will see the top five drivers in the Xfinity Series points race on the track.

Xfinity Series drivers had a week off coming into Iowa.

Ty Dillon has a nine-point lead on Chris Buescher followed by 2014 Xfinity Series champion Chase Elliott in third. Darrell Wallace Jr. is sitting fourth in the standings and Regan Smith is fifth after nine races.

Jones, who is third in the NCWTS points standings,

is 55th in the Xfinity Series standings.

He claimed an Xfinity Series win — the O’Reilly Auto Parts 300 — at Texas Motor Speedway April 10. Jones Suarez fought off challenges by Sprint Cup drivers Brad Keselowski and Dale Earnhardt Jr. in the Texas race.

“Getting that win on Texas was great. I’m looking to get a few more this year,” Jones said. “Iowa is a racy place. It has the short-track feel, but is big enough to feel you are on a mile and a half track. It is the best of both worlds for us drivers. There’s always good shows here in front of great fans.”

Iowa’s own Landon Cassell

and Joey Gase, who are 15th and 21st, respectively, in the Xfinity standings, are in Sunday’s field.

Jones, Ryan Blaney and Daniel Suarez were all on the Speedway track for the Goodyear Tire test earlier this month. They will be in Sunday’s race and expect to see all three in June’s Truck Series stop at Iowa Speedway.

Sunday’s winner of the 3M 250 will receive his trophy in the Casey’s General Stores Victory Lane following the race. On Saturday, the fastest qualifying driver for the Xfinity Series race will be presented with the “First in true Field” award sponsored by Sukup Manufacturing Co.

This Is MY Track NASCAR Xfinity Series 3M 250 — 1 p.m. Sunday NASCAR K&N Pro Series Casey’s General Stores 150 — 8 p.m. Saturday

K&N Continued from Page 1B Benjamin, who is third in the East points race. Out of the East, Nick Drake is sixth in points, but finished second at Iowa in May 2014, and Scott Heckert ran third here a year ago and is in eighth in points.

The top three drivers in the K&N West are within five points of each other headed into the Casey’s General Store 150. Noah Gragson is the leader with 125 points with Chris Eggleston right behind him with 123. Gracin Raz is in a close third with 120.

“I’m thankful Goodyear chose us to come out and do this testing. I spent time watching a couple of the Xfinity and track drivers during the test and learning. When I was on the track, I was changing up lines up — running the high line, the low line — just to see where my car worked, I be-

lieve it will help me going into the race.”

Hill’s experience at Iowa Speedway included a blown motor when he was running eighth, a blown right front tire, getting caught up in a wreck which happened in front of him, then a throttle getting stuck under caution. But he isn’t letting it get him down about this year’s first K&N East-West race at Iowa.

“We’ll take the car back and fine tune some things in the shop. We’ll try to get it set up right before we get here so we just have to make minor adjustments,” Hill said. “Racing has me hooked. If it has a motor and tired, I’m going to drive it and if you’ll let me race it, I’ll be there.”

Hill said it all started when he was 3-years-old and got a little four-wheeler.

“My parents said I had it wide open and even flipped it over. They knew right then I’d be heck on equipment and go fast as I could possibly go,” Hill said. “My dad and I would watch NASCAR races

Hill began racing quarter-midgets when he was 6 and moved up the ranks. He took two years off because of financial reasons.

Newton Water Board Meeting Minutes Friday, March 27, 2015 The Newton Waterworks Board of Trustees met in regular session on Friday, March 27, 2015 in the City Council Chairperson Chambers.

Maureen Lockwood called the meeting to order at 12:05 P.M. Present were Chairperson Maureen Lockwood, Lee Zmolek, Bret Doerring and L.D. Palmer.

Absent: None.

Also present was Marty Hoffert.

The manager placed an item under new business under Flood Mitigation Project regarding Amendment to Current contract.

Van Dyke of Fox Steve Engineering was on hand to discuss a needed Change Order for the Water Plant Flood Mitigation project contract with MPS. FEMA informed us that since the contract due date was December of 2014, a Change Order extending the contract time would be required in order to be reimbursed for project expense.

There was discussion regarding penalty clause for project not being completed on time.

The Board authorized the manager to negotiate a dollar amount that would be acceptable to both parties.

Once that is accomplished then a Change Order extending contract completion date would have to be approved by FEMA and then by Board.

The Board approved the February Board Minutes by consent.

Bret Doerring moved to approve the February Financials as presented.

Lee Zmolek seconded the motion.

Motion Approved The manager presented the FY15-16 Waterworks Capital Improvement Program to the Board. Highlights include water main replacement projects, equipment replacement including a loader replacement, feasibility study for radial collector well,

completion date would have to be approved by FEMA and then by Board.

The Board approved the February Board Minutes by consent.

Bret Doerring moved to approve the February Financials as presented.

Lee Zmolek seconded the motion.

Motion Approved The manager presented the FY15-16 Waterworks Capital Improvement Program to the Board. Highlights include water replacement projects, main equipment replacement including a loader replacement, feasibility study for radial collector well, miscellaneous tools for department, Distribution replacement of an Urodrive clarifier unit at water plant, and a server at the office.

Total estimated cost for all projects is $261,000.

Bret Doerring moved approval of the FY15-16 CIP for the WaterWorks.

Second: Lee Zmolek Motion Approved The manager presented a from Backflow proposal Solutions, Inc. for services related to Newton's Cross control/backflow Connection program. This would include an online database of backflow devices, all letters sent to customers for annual inspections, and all field inspections of customers currently without a device. Cost would be $495.00 per year plus $85.00 per field inspection. Because our current staff does not have time to fully implement program as it should be, the manager recommended that the Board approve using BSI to run our Backflow program.

Lee Zmolek moved approval of the BSI services for Backflow program.

Second: Bret Doerring Motion Approved Marty Hoffert presented the Water Treatment and Distribution report. The static well water level for February is 23.1 feet. Marty told the Board that it is normal this time of year with very little Water loss for well recharge.

February is 14% which is the Palmer same as last month. noted that the months when CIWA use is down then recorded water loss seems to go up. Toni Werden did a chart showing unaccounted for water from 2003 to 2014. Water loss for most years averages around 10% or less. In 2014 the average for year is 14%. This is because of large number of main breaks in 2014. Marty reported that MPI Engineers had replaced the spauled concrete next to garage door and poured additional concrete to flood wall in front of plant.

Flood gates were being installed and lime sludge pump was scheduled to be installed.

The distribution crew has been doing pressure testing in NE Newton and service work. They are continuing work on new main from SE 4 ½ St. to E. 17th St. The next Board meeting will be on Friday, April 17 at 12:00 noon in the Newton City Council Chambers.

The meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully Submitted L.D. Palmer, Secretary Newton WaterWorks Board of Trustees May 14

The conflict between desire and responsibility is an age-old struggle that to some degree affects us every day, though the current Mars and Saturn opposition makes it seem more pronounced. The right thing to do is often not the easiest or most appealing course of action, and yet it’s the only one that won’t end in regret.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (May 14). Tenacity breeds success.

June shows you regularly seeing someone special. July brings second chances and a homecoming. A friend will excel within an area you long to master. It’s not a contest.

Accept the help that’s offered

to you in September. Barriers to forward movement are eliminated in November. Leo and Scorpio people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 4, 1, 22, 20 and 14.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You are open to unusual, original and novel ideas, so open, in fact, that sometimes you miss the obvious success key. That’s why it helps to have a very pragmatic friend in your mix.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Strategy will be better than impulse. Plan your attack, and at least three people around you will support you. Earth signs will be especially helpful

-- that’s Virgo, Capricorn or a fellow Taurus.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). At first you’ll ask without much luck in the way of a response.

“I don’t know” will quickly change to “I know” when you ask a different question. Prod if you must to get to the root of your problem.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Many sales techniques hinge on the belief that the things that are most desirable are in limited supply. Think twice when you’re urged to “buy now because there are only three left.” There are many more than three left.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have a talent for levity and an

instinct for fun -- lead with laughter today. There is no need to be self-conscious and overly concerned about what others think.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

People who feel pressured are likely to act out of fear, and the result will lead to regret. How can you take the pressure off?

How can you make it fun?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You value honesty, but do be gentle, because the people around you are more sensitive than usual.

Much will be accomplished with a compassionate tone of voice.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You seek the kind of understanding that can only

come from putting yourself in another person’s position. You don’t mind walking a mile in another person’s moccasins as long as that person’s shoe size is similar to yours.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You approach the day as if it were an experiment, and your curious, playful mindset will keep you from getting frustrated. Whether it goes right or wrong, you learn.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). On the subject of personal and emotional space, everyone has a certain comfort zone.

You need a bigger buffer than usual today, and you’ll favor those who understand and respect your boundaries.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You may be building an event up to be much bigger than it needs to be. Try hard, but don’t worry if it doesn’t work out.

There will be more and better opportunities in your future.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Small issues can escalate quickly. If you run into a problem, meet with the others involved straight away and face-to-face for speedy resolution. Lose old baggage. It’s not relevant to who you are now.
