LaVera federal plea deal rejected

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A federal judge rejected a plea deal Friday in a case against a 34-year-old California man accused of producing child pornography Federal Judge John Alfred Jarvey said during a federal sentencing hearing at the U.S. District Courthouse in Des Moines that he didn’t feel David A. LaVera was going to

get any punishment with the deal that was in place.

L a Ve r a ’s attorney was asked to explain why the plea deal was acceptable to LaVera which he responded that LaVera’s actions were not as egregious as others. Also, he

said that LaVera did not operate the camera, it was just in the room and although he did download the video to the computer he did not send it out. Finally, he said that LaVera had no prior history and that he would be registered as a sex offender for the rest of his life.

The prosecuting attorney also added that the plea deal avoided bring the case to trial. She said that would avoid

bringing the 12-year-old victim in front of the court.

The charges stemmed from an incident where LaVera used his smartphone to video a 12-year-old victim taking a shower and a 13-year-old victim using the bathroom at a Newton home, according to court documents released last August. LaVera later uploaded that video onto his laptop computer for viewing Jarvey said the victim

would not necessarily have to be in court, shooting down that reason for accepting the plea deal. He also spoke about the impending state sentencing for third-degree sexual abuse. Although sentencing is up to 10 years, Jarvey said LaVera would likely only serve five. Assuming the local judge would agree to let him serve the sentences concurrently, LAVERA | 3A

Friends celebrate summer on the prairie Concert on the Prairie draws in large crowd

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News As the sun set on 5,600 acres of open tallgrass prairie Friday night, Friends of Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge held its annual Concert at the Prairie fundraising event for supporters at the refuge in Prairie City.

It was the third annual Concert on the Prairie, with the theme of music, art and nature — more than 130 people ordered tickets in advance for the event.

“We first said we’d do this as a fundraiser but we’re finding out its more a friend-raiser, and we’re getting a lot of people who are new, people we don’t know, and that is good,” Friends of Neal Smith President Joan Van Gorp said.

Guests roamed nearby trails, strolled through the butterfly garden and relaxed

on the refuge Visitor Center patio while music from a local folk quartet performed.

Wine was provided Wines of Iowa, of Valley Junction, and Soldier Creek Winery, of Fort Dodge.

Inside the center was an art exhibit by Des Moines artist Michael Wilson titled “Spirit of Place” featuring scenes of prairie life and food catered by Magg Family Catering, of Prairie City.

Later, refuge manager Lance Koch spoke about PRAIRIE | 3A

Starting Wednesday, portions of East 31st Street North, also known as Beltline Road, will be closed to install drain tile and resurface the highly traveled road.

Manatts, of Brooklyn, was awarded the project priced at $1,046,872.45 and plans to complete the work over the next 25 working days on the 40-year-old road.

“They will be putting drain pipe on each side of the road and that will keep the sub-grade dry. After that is done they will

come in with a concrete overlay, a seven inch thick concrete road built overtop what is there now,” public works director Keith Laube said.

The project will start at First Avenue and continue to North 19th Avenue, just before the curve. A detour is planned for traffic to go east to Highway T-12 using North 19th Avenue East and Highway 6.

“It is weather dependent on how fast it happens,” Laube said.

Five years later, NCSD Honey, we’re at the park in better financial shape

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News School districts need to move money to different categorical funds on a regular basis to meet needs, expenses and to follow state guidelines.

But at the end of each year, each district is supposed to be in the black.

Newton Community School District Director of Business Services Gayle Isaac made a presentation at a recent NCSD board of education meeting showing how much progress the district has made on some overall financial

fronts, despite not having nearly as much federal assistance as it did in the past.

For comparisons, Isaac brought with him to the meeting the district’s year-end fund balances, along with funding sources and expenditures, for each of the past six fiscal years.

To keep this story simpler, the only figures mentioned here will be for the 2010 fiscal year, which ended June 30, 2010, and fiscal 2015, which ends June 30 of this year.

“The reason that I generated these charts

was because I believed there was some misunderstanding about fund balances and spending authority, and how the two correlate with each other,” Isaac said. “People think we have $8 million sitting in a fund balance. What we do have — across all funds — is close to $8 million, but much of that is categorical, and can only be spent on select items. Spending authority relates to one-time expenditures — not every-year expenses, such as salaries or utility bills, FINANCE | 3A

Mattingly Music celebrating 50 years Open house Saturday with raffle for Fender guitar

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News You can almost take a step back in time when you walk into downtown mainstay Mattingly Music and Book. With the 80 year old wallpaper still up from the original owner and a toy train that circles the store around the ceiling, it is a piece of history unlike any other.

“People like the old tin ceiling, the wood floor. There is a peculiar smell when you come in. It is sort of an old fashioned type of store,” Owner Paul Mattingly said.

Mattingly, 113 W. Second St. N., is celebrating its 50th anniversary in business, capped with an open house Saturday complete with cookies and punch. The open house will be in conjunction with Ridiculous Day and Newton Fest.

“We’re having all sorts of specials for our 50th anniversary. We’re raffling off a beautiful Fender guitar,” Mattingly said.

Select guitars will also be

25 to 50 percent off and sheet music will be on sale. All are welcome to help them celebrate the milestone with Mattingly’s mom, Joan, stopping by to say greet friends.

Mattingly Music and Book opened in 1965, as an endeavor of Paul’s father, William. It was originally owned by Orville Dooley, who opened his store in 1932 and continued until William purchased it 33 years later.

The wallpaper Dooley hung is still up today.

“My dad was a music teacher, and he got tired of that after about 10 years and decided to he wanted to open a music store,” Mattingly said.

William ran the store until about 10 or 11 years ago, Mattingly said, when he took over.

It is full of a variety of items including unique toys and gifts, today’s bestselling books along with popular name brand instruments, music, accessories and a big selection of instruction books for piano students and teachers. He also stocks

a smattering of hobby items, mainly for more “brainy hobbies” he said.

“Our mainstay has always been the renting of musical instruments to kids at school,” Mattingly said.

The store supplies instruments to Marshalltown, Newton, Pella and Peoria. It also employs a full-time certified instrument repairman who sees his fair share of work from kids and adults alike.

After so many years, it is hard to keep track of the amount of people that have stopped in, purchased or just enjoyed the store. Things have changed, Mattingly said, with the rise of the Internet, but he still enjoys sharing his piece of history with those who stop by.

“It’s just fascinating the people that come in, all different types, all have a story,” Mattingly said.

DES MOINES (AP) — Leaders of the Iowa Democratic and Republican parties said Friday they are working together to improve the reporting and security of the voting results from the Iowa caucuses with new technology developed by Microsoft Corp.

Republican Party Chairman Jeff Kaufmann and Democratic Party Chairwoman Andy McGuire said in a news conference the new system to be used in 2016 will be accurate, reliable and fast, and will assure confidence in the caucuses.

“Being first in the nation is incredibly important to Iowa and both the Democratic and Republican parties here. We value it deeply and will work together with a united front to preserve our first-in-the-nation status,” Kaufman said.

He said the caucuses pose a unique challenge because they are not handled by the state auditor’s office like primary elections. Instead, each party is responsible for tabulating results and reporting them.

“It’s part of what makes our caucuses so unique, but it also is what makes reporting on caucus night a technology challenge,” he said.

Kaufman denied a 2012 Republican Party mix-up prompted the changes. Mitt Romney was named the winner by the GOP late the evening of the caucus, but the party found votes that hadn’t been counted and three weeks later said former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum had actually won.

Wal-Mart keeps it all in the family, chair passed to Penner FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Wal-Mart is passing the chairmanship of the world’s largest retailer from the eldest son of late founder Sam Walton to a third generation.

The company said that board Chairman Rob Walton will step down and be succeeded by Vice Chairman Greg Penner, who is his son-in-law.

The change took effect at the end of the company’s annual shareholders’ meeting Friday and came despite pressures from labor-backed worker groups to name an independent chairman. The calls for independent leadership mounted in the wake of allegations of bribery in Mexico and other countries Wal-Mart operates in that came to surface in spring 2012.

Burst of hiring drives US bonds lower; stocks slip Friday NEW YORK (AP) — A burst of hiring last month led to a drop in the bond market Friday as traders placed bets that the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates later this year. Despite the good economic news, the stock market drifted to another loss, finishing lower for the second week in a row.

The Labor Department reported that U.S. employers added 280,000 workers to their payrolls in May and also

13 &

tweaked its estimate of hiring in March and April, raising hiring numbers for the two months by a combined 32,000.

Traders reacted immediately to the report, dropping U.S. government bonds and shooting yields up. The benchmark 10-year Treasury note bounced to a high for the year, 2.43 percent, before drifting back to 2.40 percent. The dollar gained strength against the Japanese yen and other major currencies.

“I was pleasantly surprised,” said Russell Price, Ameriprise Financial’s senior economist.

“This adds to the recent spate of positive data that shows the economy is really pulling out of its winter slump.”

But major stock indexes finished mixed. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 56.12 points, or 0.3 percent, to 17,849.46.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index lost 3.01 points, or 0.1 percent, to 2,092.83, while the

Nasdaq edged up 9.33 points, or 0.2 percent, to 5,068.46.

Big banks and other companies that benefit from rising interest rates made gains: JPMorgan Chase, Wells Fargo, PNC Financial Services hit all-time highs.

Jeremy Zirin, head of investment strategy at UBS Wealth Management, said the rapid rise in interest rates over recent months has unsettled some investors. In April, when traders were more concerned

about the strength of the global economy, the yield on the 10-year Treasury slipped below 1.90 percent.

In general, a rise in interest rates reflects economic growth, but a quick leap could slow the economy down by triggering a sudden drop in lending.

Zirin said investors “want to see the rise in bond yields be more tempered. They can handle higher interest rates as long as they come at a measured pace.”

Local News Finance Continued from Page 1A which must come out of the general fund.”

Isaac said the 2010 fiscal year, which began on July 1, 2009, included expenditures that were nearly $850,000 more than revenue, even though there was nearly $1.2 million in federal aid. There was also more than $1.5 million provided to Newton schools that year as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 — a fund that is no longer a revenue stream to the district.

Isaac said the district had a spending authority of $29 million for fiscal 2010.

“They (the Iowa Department of Management) gave us more credit for that revenue,” he said.

The 2010 expenditure-revenue deficit happened during what was a tumultuous year for Newton Schools.

The board voted in March 2010 to close Emerson Hough as an elementary school.

Isaac said school business officials across the U.S. knew there would be an end to ARRA funding. The term “shovel-ready projects” was used often during that era with regard to the one-time appropriations. It was important to only use those funds on onetime expenses, rather than growing dependent on the revenue for regular bills or recurring costs.

In fiscal year 2015, which began on July 1, 2014, the district took in more local revenue, but received considerably less federal aid. Not only had ARRA funding gone away, but also,

Roads Continued from Page 1A extend the project.

Currently, it is set to be complete after 25 working days, a number that does not include any days off for weather.

The restoration project is funded through the Surface Transportation Program from the Federal Highway Administration because of the federal-aid classification of the road. The STP funds 80 percent of the project with a 20 percent match coming locally of $209,374.49.

Along with the addition of the drain tiles on both the east and west side of the road, the road will become four feet wider, with extensions of two feet on each side. Now 28 feet wide, the enlarged road will help accommodate truck traffic from industries located in the area and prevent the existing edge of pavement from deteriorating and raveling.

Additional road projects for the city include the resurfacing of West Eighth Street South, East Eighth Street South and East

NEWTON COMMUNITY SCHOOL DISTRICT Five-year general fund balance comparisons FISCAL YEAR 2010 July 1, 2009 beginning balance: $2,829,456.56 Local revenue: $8,933,175.06 State supplemental aid: $15,615,359.05 Federal aid: $1,189,705.57 ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 funding): $1,551,179.64 Other: $1,062 Revenue: $27,315,384.68 Expenses: $28,163,111.73 (Overspent revenue by $847,727.05) June 30, 2010 ending balance: $1,981,729.51 FISCAL YEAR 2015 July 1, 2014 beginning balance: $2,904,629.27 Local revenue: $10,354,098 State supplemental aid: $19,179,423 Federal aid: $1,000,000 ARRA (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 funding): None.

Other revenue: None.

Total revenue: $30,533,521 Expenses: $30,482,833 (Net gain of 50,688) June 30, 2015 ending balance: $2,955,316.73

federal help to Newton schools had dropped by about $500,000 from its 2009-10 level.

The district will end fiscal 2015 with a net fund balance gain of about $50,688, with expenditures and revenue both exceeding $30 million. The district received more than $19 million in state aid for the almost-completed school year. By fiscal 2015, Newton’s spending authority, after having risen after 2010, had fallen to $5.7 million beyond its balance, or about $35 million.

“That is because we do not get credit, or gain spending authority, whenever we do a cash reserve levy,” Isaac said. “And we did a cash reserve levy both this year and in other years.”

Both Isaac and Superintendent Bob Callaghan were quick to remind everyone that

the purpose of pointing out past figures and changes through the years are not meant to point fingers or show that previous staff had not been effective in managing funds. Isaac said the main point he wanted to make is that the district is making progress in learning to live within its means regarding both categorical and general funds.

State aid for fiscal 2016, if approved by the governor, would include only a 1.25 percent increase in per-student funding.

That would give Newton $19,041,484 in regular state supplemental aid, along with $329,430 as its share of a one-time $55.7 million state appropriation and other sources of state funding.

19th Street South, the South Second Avenue resurfacing project and several areas of pavement patching and repair, some to be contracted and some to be done in house.

“This is by far the most street work we have done in the past five years,” Laube said.

LaVera Continued from Page 1A Jarvey felt it was too light of a sentence for the actions LaVera took.

LaVera pleaded guilty of possession of child pornography, while charges of sexual exploitation of a child and production of child pornography were dropped.

The hearing for the state charges was scheduled to get underway Monday morning.

LaVera was charged locally in June 2014 after allegedly portraying himself as a “Twilight” actor to entice a then 14-year-old girl to a park in Baxter after having sexually explicit conver-

sations with the teen on Facebook.

While at the park, LaVera is accused of touching the teen inappropriately and then luring her into his vehicle. According to court documents he drove her around Baxter until concerned family and friends, who had reported a kidnapping, were able to stop the vehicle and get the girl out of the car.

Third-degree sexual abuse could carry a sentence of up to 10 years and up to a $10,000 fine. As part of the plea deal, additional charges of enticement of a minor, attempting to entice a minor and carrying weapons were dismissed.

Undying memories of an undying love

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | June 8, 2015

There are losses in life that affect you daily and those which only rise up on occasion to remind you of time’s passing.

Last week I felt returned to childhood, if only for a moment, daydreaming in the sun about summers at my grandma’s. It was odd how the memory returned, to be honest. I walked into my bedroom to grab my swimming suit and I swear I could smell Chanel No. 5 — my grandma’s signature perfume.

Of course of all places in our home this area of the room is the most likely to trigger her memory to me. A music box with the Blessed Virgin Mary and infant son sits on the mantel next to another figurine of Mary, which my grandmother kept on her nightstand.

As many of my memories of my grandmother are of

holidays, cooking, swimming, shopping and laughing, the others are of her deep faith and devout practices in the Catholic faith.

So when my brother and I were sent to spend summer days swimming at her house, we also knew we’d spend Saturday evenings at Mass and leave grandma to herself to say her Rosary by night.

I enjoyed going to a big city church in Des Moines and holding hands with my grandma. Unlike my parents, grandma was inclined to sneak out of church following communion.

This allowed for us to get out of the parking lot quicker and miss the traffic, which I suspect was her ultimate goal. When I took my son to the same parish several months ago we indulged in early dismissal, if only to let him have that experience once.

As the result of age and an eye condition that eventually claimed her sight, my grandmother moved near my parents years ago.

Despite her move, I remember precisely where everything in her home was from a rotary phone that hung too long on her kitchen wall, to a stack of newspapers that sat next to her chair. Sometimes I walk through the rooms in my head and remember each piece.

I remember the way it felt to enter her air conditioned home with a sunburn, and sitting wideeyed in front of cable television, eating a sandwich and chips on a paper plate.

My grandmother’s birthday was July 7, which typically extended our Fourth of July celebrations or called for another party all together. As an identical twin who was raised with nine brothers and sisters, we’d sometimes host larger lunches with

extended family. One of her last birthdays took us to North Carolina where my uncle has a lake home. With some effort, we got her on the pontoon boat. She wore a wide-brimmed sunhat and a life preserver and at times you could see that she felt young again.

Grandma passed away nearly three years ago; this year would have been her 92nd birthday.

Perhaps it was the warm weather that triggered some of my favorite memories of grandma, or perhaps it was a call to become more steadfast in my own faith. It was good to reflect in thanksgiving for a childhood with a loving grandmother. If you’re lucky enough to still have one, give her a call. Better yet, spend a summer day with her.

Eye on America

Socialist ‘justice’

State View

Reflections on the 2015 legislative session The 2015 Iowa Legislature finally reached adjournment about an hour ago. After congratulating and wishing many of my colleagues a “happy interim,” it’s good to finally get a chance to sit down at House Desk #1, reflect on the last five months and plan ahead. Serv- By Dan Kelley Iowa ing as your State Representative Representative is a year-round job, and I’m grateful for the opportunity.

Let’s focus on the state budget since it took center-stage this week. I’m pleased leaders in both parties finally chose compromise over gridlock and reached agreements. I fought for a balanced budget. We can’t spend more than we take in. It was tough, but, Iowa’s checkbook is balanced with money in the bank.

We have an ending balance of $262.8 million. In addition, our reserve funds are filled with more than $717 million in the coming fiscal-year.

The school funding crisis cast a shadow over the entire 2015 legislative session. It’s clear that our K-12 schools — a source of pride for Iowans of all ages — are no longer a top priority of the house majority party. While Democratic and Republican leaders made last minute deals, I took a stand for Iowa’s kids and educators. I refused to support an inadequate school funding

proposal. Our kids and teachers deserve better.

I’m deeply disappointed by legislators who ignored warnings from parents, teachers, students, administrators and school board members about the devastating impact of their plan — fewer opportunities, larger class sizes and higher property taxes. Some schools have cut critical learning opportunities in art and music.

This is unacceptable.

While a few legislators complain about various state-bystate rankings of Iowa schools, I know we have high quality educators and kids ready to learn in Jasper County. I’ll keep fighting for them.

Our budget must reflect our values and priorities. That’s why I helped block the governor’s request for nearly a quarter-million dollar increase in his day-to-day expenses. The governor must lead by example.

Iowa’s kids and educators must take priority over the governor’s personal chef, the gardener at Terrace Hill and the First Lady’s personal assistant.

Our budget must provide for the needs of our most vulnerable Iowans. The “Safe at Home” program protects victims of domestic abuse from danger. Safe at Home maintains victims’ confidentiality of address and whereabouts from their former sexual and/or domestic abuser.

This helps bring needed stability and security to their lives.

Approved by the legislature early in the session, this new program was not working. Why?

Court fines and penalties billed to convicted sexual and domestic abusers were the only source of funding. Predictably, most had gone unpaid.

To fix the problem, I performed the legislature’s equivalent of searching the couch cushions for change. I studied the entire state budget and identified several small, outdated accounts that had never been closed. In fact, one of the accounts had only $45 in it. I proposed we close these accounts, combine them and fund “Safe at Home” with $26,000 to get it started.

My colleagues in both parties and chambers agreed. I’ve since identified several other accounts which could bring the total to $47,300 and reach even more Iowans in need of security and stability after abuse.

If Safe at Home might be helpful to you, let me know.

Help is available and confidential.

In conclusion, we arrived in Des Moines nearly five months ago with a plan to strengthen Iowa’s working families, build a vibrant economy and revitalize rural Iowa. Some progress was made, but I believe more can be done for working families and Iowa kids. While the session ended tonight and pay ended May 1, I’ll keep working yearround to make Iowa, and Jasper County, a great place to live, work and raise a family.

I’m always available to you.

Protestors demand “social justice.” I hate their chant. If I oppose their cause, then I’m for social “injustice”?

Nonsense.

The p r o testers u s u a l l y By John Stossel w a n t to punish capitalism.

“Spread those resources,” says Hillary Clinton.

Even capitalists often make the mistake of talking about “social justice” as if it’s the opposite of free markets or a reason to rein in markets with more regulations or redistribution of wealth.

But there’s nothing “just” about the leftist protesters’ claimed solution: more big government.

Oliver Stone, Sean Penn and Harry Belafonte praised Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez for his socialist revolution. Chavez then proceeded to destroy much of his country.

Even after his death, his portrait remains on walls everywhere and his policies live on. They haven’t produced social justice, unless your idea of “justice” is privileges for government officials and shortages of basics like food and toilet paper for ordinary people.

Only socialism could take an oil-rich nation and turn it into one where people wait in line for hours for survival rations.

The left-wing Guardian newspaper quotes a Venezuelan farmer saying that Chavez’s policies left Venezuela with “no one to explain why a rich country has no food.”

Not many people in Venezuela give such explanations — the government censors its critics — but free-market economists can explain.

Goods don’t get matched to consumer needs by anyone’s burning desire for justice. The amazing coordination of the marketplace happens because sellers and buyers are free. Sellers can sell whatever they choose at prices they choose. Buyers decide whether to pay.

That flexibility — and chance to make a profit — is what persuades people to create what cus-

tomers want and risk their own money and safety to stock it in a store.

Without the free market setting prices and allocating resources, all the cries of “justice” in the world don’t help anyone.

You can’t eat justice. You can’t use it as toilet paper.

Intellectuals, activists and government alike love it when politicians take “tough,” decisive action — usually meaning sudden interference in the marketplace. A year and a half ago, Venezuelan government used the military to seize control of Daka, one of the country’s largest retailers, in order to force the chain to charge “fair” prices. Punish those rich, greedy store-owners!

Surprise! That didn’t work. The chain is now collapsing as looters take what they want.

Socialists say capitalists just want to make a quick buck, but it’s government that can’t plan for the long haul.

Instead of thinking in terms of returns on investment and sustainable business models, socialists think only of today: They see people who need stuff and stores full of stuff. Take the stuff and give it to people, and then tomorrow — well, those capitalists will always bring in more stuff, I guess.

Calling it “social justice” doesn’t make it work.

Sometimes activists admit they aren’t very interested in economics.

What they really want is a more “tolerant” world with less sexism and racism. They act as if capitalism is an obstacle to that.

But it isn’t. Capitalist societies are less racist and less sexist than non-capitalist ones.

In America, white people often take for granted the advantages that being white sometimes provides. But compare America to China, where one ethnic group, the Han, dominates politics and openly looks down on minorities — and where even scientists have tried to show that the Han are a distinctive race that does not trace its ancestry to Africa like the rest of us.

The autocratic nation of Saudi Arabia doesn’t let women drive cars or open their own bank accounts.

Daughter who’s hooking up needs reality check from mom DEAR ABBY: In recent conversations with my daughter, who is away in college, she opened up to me that she is hooking up. She introduced herself to this guy two weeks ago, and she’s already having sex with him. I tried to caution her about the dangers of such relationships and how harmful they can be physically and emotionally. She sounded annoyed and said it is her body and she has a right to do whatever she pleases.

I am shocked and disappointed.

She’s the first person in our family to go to college. If I tell her father, he would disown her. I am beside myself. My younger daughter will soon be applying to college, and now I’m wondering whether I should allow her to go away, given her sister’s behavior.

How should I handle this? Should I tell her father? — STRESSED OUT IN NEW YORK DEAR STRESSED OUT: When you are less emotional, talk with your daughter and advise her to visit the student health center to be checked for STDs and get on a program of birth control. Your daughter is no longer a child. She is a young woman, and sexual activity among college students is not unheard of. While I agree with you that hopping into bed with someone you have known for only two weeks is premature, if she’s able to maintain her grade point average, there is no reason to alarm her father. If she isn’t, then bring her home.

I assume you have discussed sex and family standards with your younger daughter. If that’s the case, it would be unfair to punish or restrict her because you are disappointed in her older sister.

DEAR ABBY: My soon-to-be daughter-in-law complains about my son to me. She’s not happy with his job or his boss, but he is. She says he

embarrasses her and gets upset when his work must come first. Abby, my son is in charge of the company.

I don’t understand why she would marry someone she feels this way about. I struggle with whether to talk to my son about it or not. I’m afraid he will say something to her and she will be upset with me. He is a happy young man, and it seems his fiancee only wants to change him. He’s almost 30, and I don’t see him changing to her satisfaction. Please advise.

— BITING MY TONGUE FOR NOW IN ARIZONA DEAR BITING: Your son’s fiancee is complaining to the wrong person. Before talking to your son about her complaints, talk to her about them and suggest she talk to him. If your son is happy in his job, happy with his employers and being well compensated for his work ethic and ability, she should be happy for him, not embarrassed. It’s important that he know how she feels before the wedding, because if he learns about it afterward, there will be problems.

However, if she’s unwilling to communicate her feelings to your son, then let him know she has “concerns” about his job and suggest he discuss them with her before they say any “I do’s.”

Crews move historic log cabin in Le Mars LE MARS — Crews have moved a historic log cabin in Le Mars, saving the structure from a planned demolition. Workers moved the cabin Friday from the Plymouth County Fairgrounds to the Plymouth County Historical Museum. It took less than two hours to move the cabin, which is at least 115 years old, about 12 blocks. The cabin was built in Sioux City for a judge’s servants. It was given to a Girl Scout camp and moved in 1923, then moved to another Girl Scout camp in Plymouth County in 1982.

Data shows abortion rate in Iowa is declining The Associated Press

Motorcycles and puppies: GOP contenders face off in Iowa BOONE — The attack ads and debates will come later. On Saturday, several Republican presidential contenders fought for an edge among motorcycles, puppies, war heroes and roasted pork, having swapped dark suits for blue jeans to meet Iowans eight months before they cast the first votes of the 2016 presidential primary.

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry cruised to an afternoon presidential forum on Harley-Davidson motorcycles, leading separate rides of hundreds — many military veterans among them — as their Republican competitors chatted up would-be supporters over barbecue and potato salad.

“What a great day this morning was — out there on a Harley-Davidson, riding by the heartland of America,” Perry said. “That is what America’s all about. Living freedom, riding free.”

Perry’s ride raised money for the Puppy Jake Foundation, an Iowa-based group that trains service dogs for wounded veterans.

Walker, wearing a black “Born to Ride” T-shirt, said, “You’ve got to have fun on campaigns — or would-be campaigns — along the way.”

Beyond fun, candidates gained a valuable and unscripted opportunity to connect with voters at an event dubbed a “roast and ride” by its host, freshman Republican Sen. Joni Ernst. It served as a prime political gathering with the state’s straw poll losing its relevance and its annual steak fry for Democrats ended.

“I think in Iowa it is extremely important to do this,” said Ernst on retail politicking. “Iowans want to see their candidates, they want to reach out and shake their hand, they want to ask that question face to face.”

Indeed, before giving brief speeches from a stage flanked by bales of hay, the Republicans contenders crisscrossed the sprawling outdoor venue trailed by packs of curious voters. They sliced meat, posed for pictures and made small talk with anyone who would listen.

such services. The use of advanced ultrasound technology that offers clearer pictures of the fetus may also play a role.

“It’s a combination,” she said. “I don’t think that there’s any one thing that anybody can point to and say, ‘This.

This is why.’”

The AP compiled data on abortion rates from health departments in 45 U.S. states that keep such information on a comprehensive basis. It shows the annual number of abortions has declined substantially since 2010 in most states. The biggest decreases are almost equal between states that have enacted anti-abortion laws during that span and other states that have shunned such measures while protecting abortion rights.

Several Iowa firms get permission to experiment with drones The Associated Press DES MOINES — At least 10 Iowa businesses are now authorized to use drones, so the unmanned aircraft may become more common in the state.

Several of the businesses plan to use drones to monitor crops. Some will use them to help market real estate. Others obtained Federal Aviation Administra-

tion approval primarily to experiment with the aircraft.

Terry Sharp said he’s trying to demonstrate the value of drones with his Agri-Tech Aviation business. So at this point he’s not charging farmers for the flights that might be able to identify problems with crops early.

“We’re not selling today’s services, this is strictly on our dime with

some customers we work with a lot,” said Sharp, whose Indianola-based company has been providing manned aerial services for decades.

Experts believe agriculture is one of the main businesses that will be able to benefit from drones now that the FAA has established rules for them. Nationwide, the FAA has approved 497 applications to use drones.

The Associated Press

DES MOINES — The number of abortions performed annually in Iowa is declining, according to newly released data, but two opposing groups attribute the drop to different factors.

Between 2010 and 2013, the number of abortions in Iowa decreased from 5,399 to 4,423, according to data compiled by The Associated Press. That represents an 18.1 percent drop.

The AP compiled the data based on information from the Iowa Department of Public Health. The agency’s records include tracking surgical abortions and medically induced abortions.

Penny Dickey, chief clinical officer of Planned Parenthood of

the Heartland in Iowa, said the decline is the result of better access and affordability to family planning services like birth control. She added that long-lasting contraception like IUDs and hormonal implants are also highly effective and more accessible to women than several years ago.

Jenifer Bowen, executive director of Iowa Right to Life, said the decline is linked to an uptick in privately funded pregnancy centers around the state that often offer counseling services to women on other options, including adoption and continuing the pregnancy. She also believes there is a correlation between the decline and grassroots efforts from volunteers who protest abortions outside clinics that provide

Newton posts season-best scores at state trap shoot

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News CEDAR FALLS — Competing in the two-day 2015 Iowa Scholastic Clay Target Program State Championship Trap Meet, the Newton Trap Team posted season-best scores. Newton had two varsity squads competing and finished 44th and 52nd out of 98 squads.

Newton had 10 varsity shooters competing not only in two squads of five, but also as individuals. The total score of five squad members are combined for the team scores.

Jacob Arrowood, Clay Trotter, Nathan Tremel, Matt Bleakney and Brian Bleakney combined to break 858 targets out of 1,000 in

the two-day competition. They finished 44th.

Newton’s other squad of Connor McAdoo, Bryce Romick, Evan Cook, Dawson Cobler and Colton Kingery shot a combined score of 846 out of 1,000. It placed 52nd.

Matt Bleakney, McAdoo and Arrowood posted the top three individual scores for Newton at the state shoot. Matt Bleakney hit 185 of 200 targets taking 98th.

McAdoo posted 183 out of 200 for 115th place and Arrowood broke 180 targets for 154th place. There were 455 high school varsity male shooters at the state meet.

“I was very excited by the way all of the team members performed,” said Paul Klein, Newton Trap Team head coach. “As

you can see by our three top scorers, it’s a really tight race for those posting scores in the 180s.”

Klein said the state winning team score for the high school varsity division was 964 and the top individual score for the high school varsity was 197.

“We posted our best scores of the season, but even better was the way they each of our members represented their team and themselves,” Klein said.

“They all exhibit great sportsmanship and a respect for the game.”

The Newton Trap Team finish its state competition at the sporting clays event on June 20 at Oskaloosa.

AP Photo American Pharoah thunders down the home stretch on his way to winning the 147th running of the Belmont Stakes Saturday and with it, Thoroughbred Racing’s Triple Crown at Belmont Park in Hempstead, NY.

American Pharoah runs into history with Triple Crown NEW YORK (AP) — By mid-stretch, Bob Baffert knew it. American Pharoah was going to win the Triple Crown.

He took his eyes off the horse to soak in the crazed scene of the packed grandstand. Fans jumped up and down, hugged, and tossed drinks in the air.

The race wasn’t even over yet, and the crowd knew it, too. Thirty-seven years of waiting to see one of the rarest feats in sports was almost over.

“The crowd was just thundering and I was just enjoying the crowd and the noise and everything

happening,” the whitehaired trainer said. “What a feeling.”

F i n a l l y, a Tr i p l e C r ow n w i n n e r.

A n d this one was never in doubt.

American Pharoah led all the way to win the Belmont Stakes by 5 ½ lengths on Saturday, becoming the first horse since 1978 to sweep the Kentucky Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes — one of the sporting world’s rarest feats.

“Wow! Wow!” jockey Victor Espinoza said moments after crossing the finish line. “I can only tell you

it is just an amazing thing.”

The bay colt with the unusually short tail easily defeated seven rivals in the grueling 1 1/2-mile race, covering the distance in 2:26.65 — sixth-fastest in Belmont history — to end the longest stretch without a Triple Crownchampion in history.

“That little horse, he deserved it,” said Baffert, who at 62 is the second-oldest trainer of a Triple Crown winner.

“He’s the one that did it.

We were basically just passengers.”

Newton decks Marshalltown

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News MARSHALLTOWN — Michael Barr broke a 1-1 tie with a two-run blast over the left field fence Saturday afternoon against host Marshalltown. That was the good news for the senior first baseman.

That and Newton High’s Cardinals beating Marshalltown’s Bobcats, 5-3.

But Barr got the bad news in the top of the seventh inning. Barr drew a two-out walk then things went south for him.

“Michael was diving back into first base on a pick-off attempt and dislocated his shoulder. As of right now, he is out six weeks, which essentially means Michael is done for the season,” said Dustin Brisel, Newton head coach. “He is going to see another doctor this week, but that is what they told me at the hospital at Marshalltown Saturday.”

Barr had two hits — a single to go his his home run — and scored two runs in the Cardinal win. His NEWTON | 3B

Cardinals win three; Hawks drop two in tourney

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News OSKALOOSA — Building confidence is a key component for any team, but especially a young team.

Newton High’s Cardinals entered the 2015 season without a senior on its roster. They start eighth-graders, freshmen, sophomores and a couple of juniors.

On Saturday, the Cardinal softball team racked up three victories during play in the Oskaloosa tournament. The Cardinals powered past Class 3A South Hardin, 13-0 in three innings, then scored three runs in the fifth inning to defeat Cardinal of Eldon, 3-0, and finished with a 13-1 win over North Mahaska.

Cardinal and North Mahaska are Class 1A teams, but it doesn’t matter right now. The Cardinals are building confidence, winning their last five games to go to 6-3 on the year.

Lynnville-Sully’s veteran team had a tougher go of it during its round of games at Saturday’s OsJocelyn Sheets/Daily News kaloosa tournament. The Class Newton High’s Peyton Maher is in position to catch a pop-up in the infield in a recent hom game. 1A eighth-ranked Hawks lost for the first time this season not once The Cardinals went 3-0 in tournament action Saturday at Oskaloosa to improve to 6-3 overall.

but twice.

The Hawks gave up eight runs in the fifth inning to lose 11-1 to Class 3A 15th-ranked Mount Vernon. They dropped a 5-1 decision to Knoxville, a 4A team. Lynnville-Sully is 7-2 on the season.

Newton has a full week ahead with three Little Hawkeye Conference games — two at home and one on the road. The Cardinals host Class 4A third-ranked Dallas Center-Grimes Monday for a 7:30 p.m. varsity contest at Berg Middle School.

Newton goes to Grinnell Wednesday, then returns home for a LHC game against Class 4A second-ranked Oskaloosa.

The Cardinals host their varsity tournament Saturday at Agnes Patterson Softball Complex.

Lynnville-Sully gets back into South Iowa Cedar League play Monday against North Mahaska in Sully. On Tuesday, the Hawks host Newton for a varsity doubleheader, starting at 4:30 p.m. then play at BGM Wednesday, at Pella Christian Thursday and at Belle Plaine Friday.

James carries Cavs to OT win over GS, evens NBA Finals OAKLAND, Calif.

(AP) — The final buzzer sounded, and LeBron James wasn’t done.

As fans filed out of the quieting arena, James grabbed the ball and spiked it with all his might. He flexed his arms and pounded his chest, letting out a roar that echoed from California to Cleveland.

James turned in a triple-double to remember, Matthew Dellavedova made the go-ahead free throws in overtime, and the Cavaliers overcame a fourth-quarter collapse to outlast the Golden State Warriors 95-93 on Sunday to even the NBA Finals at a game apiece.

James finished with 39 points, 16 rebounds and 11 assists in 50 minutes, carrying Cleveland’s depleted roster to victory on the NBA’s toughest home floor.

The Warriors had been 47-3 at Oracle Arena.

“I tried to give it all to my teammates. And they do a great job of giving it back to me,” said James. “To be back in the same position we were in three days ago and come back and even the series is big time.”

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo’s Zarek Hill, left, flips the ball to first baseman Misha Seebeck during the Tigerhawks’ home tourney Saturday in Colfax. C-M lost twice, falling 6-4 against Southeast Warren and 11-0 against Albia.

First win eludes C-M baseball in final inning

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — The good news for the Colfax-Mingo baseball team after Saturday’s home tournament was that the Tigerhawks found a way to be in both games most of the way.

The bad news is the team still can’t find a way to come out on top.

Leading 3-1 after four innings and 4-2 with one inning to go, the Tigerhawks gave up four runs to Southeast Warren in the seventh inning and suffered a 6-4 defeat in the first round of their home tourney.

Then, Colfax-Mingo played Albia tough for four innings before the Blue Demons erupted for nine runs in the fifth inning of a 12-0, five-inning contest in the thirdplace game.

“We had the first game won. We should be playing right now,” said C-M coach Seth Milledge after the Albia loss as he looked at Van Meter and Southeast Warren getting ready for the championship game.

“We just didn’t finish the job. We had the game won, and we didn’t add runs when we could have. We let runs slip away.”

The Tigerhawks (0-7) answered a Southeast Warren run in the first inning with a pair of runs in the second.

Nichols set the table with his first walk and then Misha Seebeck reached on an error after an attempted sacrifice bunt. Nichols scored and Seebeck moved to third on a passed ball and then Gabe Simpson made it 2-1 with an RBI groundout.

Simpson came through with another RBI in the fourth. Nichols again started the frame with a walk, stole second and then was plated by Simpson when his infield single up the middle couldn’t be handled by the shortstop.

The Warhawks (5-3) pulled within 3-2 in the sixth, but the Tigerhawks again responded.

This time, Nichols began the frame with a hit by pitch. He stole second and advanced to third on an error. Seebeck then brought him in with a sacrifice fly to center field.

The four runs should have been enough support for Jacobs, who allowed two runs — none earned — on five hits and fanned four in his first start of the season.

But Southeast Warren’s Zack Baker crushed a three-run homer off Alex Lewis to give the Warhawks the lead and then the visitors added an insurance run later in the inning.

The Tigerhawks trailed Albia 1-0 through three innings.

The Blue Demons (5-4) extended their lead to 3-0 after four frames and then sent 14 batters to the plate in the fifth, scoring nine runs and ending the game early after five innings.

Starter Zarek Hill, an eighth-grader, was chased in the inning after a solid start. Milledge used two relief pitchers ­— Reegan

OGDEN — The Collins-Maxwell/Baxter softball team got an early lead and didn’t look back Friday on the road against Ogden.

T h e Raiders plated one in the first and then Jurgens scored six in the final three innings, including a four-run sixth, during a 7-0 win over a Bulldogs team that came into the game 5-2.

Junior Payge Jurgens homered for the third straight game to lead the way offensively and sophomore Abbey Kahler struck out five and allowed four hits in the shutout win.

CMB had nine hits in all. Sophomore Megan Ritter joined Jurgens with two hits and each had two RBIs. MacKenzie Schmitz had one hit, one run, one RBI and one stolen base. The Raiders had five steals in the game, led by Mikayla Eslinger’s two.

The Raiders (4-4) started 1-4 but have since won three straight.

During that stretch, they have outscored their opponents, 20-2.

CMB looks to make it four straight wins when it travels to Colfax-Mingo on Monday.

Action begins at 7:30 p.m.

PCM takes third at Bondurant-Farrar tourney

BONDURANT — The Class 3A No. 14 Prairie City-Monroe softball team went 2-1 at the Bondurant-Farrar tournament over the weekend.

The Mustangs stayed in the championship bracket with a 4-2 win over Webster City in the opener and then got bumped to the thirdplace game following a 3-0 loss to host Bondurant-Farrar.

In the third-place game, PCM got back on track with a 10-0, six-inning win over Alburnett.

PCM has won three of its last four games and is now 7-3 on the season. The Mustangs host Saydel at 7:30 p.m.

Monday.

In the opener, PCM plated two in the second and led 4-0 after its half of the fifth inning. Webster City scored twice in the fifth to make it a two-run game.

Makenna Van Veen had two hits and Kayla Jennings scored twice to lead the offensive attack.

Chelbie Gillespie, Abby Waddell, Jaiden Rogers and Madison Foster all had one hit apiece.

Waddell’s hit was a double and she scored once and had an RBI. Katie VandeWall also walked twice and scored once.

Rachel Freland was the winning pitcher. She allowed two hits and no earned runs in six innings. She had nine strikeouts.

Stover fans 13 in Raiders’ win over South Hamilton Newton Daily News Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo freshman Jonathan Jacobs pitched in his first game of the year Saturday at the Tigerhawks’ home tourney. Jacobs pitched six solid innings and was in line for the win until the bullpen gave up the lead.

Van Dyke and Jimmy Camp — that had very little experience on the mound to try and close it out.

“That was the first time on a mound in high school ever for Reegan and Jimmy only threw one time last year.”

Despite collecting just two hits at the plate, the Tigerhawks had a few chances to crack the scoreboard.

In the third, Colfax-Mingo had the bases loaded with one out, but junior Jacob Buehrer bunted into a double play on an attempted suicide squeeze.

Then in the fourth, the first two hitters reached base but both were stranded following three consecutive outs.

“Had he got the bunt down, we could have scored two there possibly and put pressure on Albia,” Milledge said of Buehrer’s attempt on the suicide squeeze. “We just have to execute better. He knows that though. He was pretty upset with himself after that.”

The Tigerhawks welcomed Jacobs back to the lineup after the freshman missed the first five games due to disciplinary reasons. Four players are still missing from the lineup because of academic ineligibility though.

Stover, who committed to Division I South Dakota State University on Wednesday, walked just one and now has 28 strikeouts in his first two games this year.

The Raiders jumped on the Hawks early, plating five runs in the first inning. They had nine hits at the plate in the game and took advantage of 10 South Hamilton errors.

Stover only allowed a hit to Blake Borquist, who also walked to lead the Hawks (1-4 overall, 1-4 in HOIC play) CMB (3-2, 3-2) will take its two-game win streak to Colfax-Mingo on Monday. The Raiders and Tigerhawks will start their varsity game at 7 p.m.

Montezuma 10, Lynnville-Sully 8 MONTEZUMA — Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks scored first in their South Iowa Cedar League conference game Friday night but they were in a battle all through the contest with host Montezuma.

The Hawks attempted to rally from a fiverun deficit in the top of the seventh. They came up two runs shy and they lost 10-8 to Montezuma.

Lynnville-Sully (42) scored a run in the first and two in the top of second inning for a 3-0 lead. Montezuma locked it up at 3-3 in its half of the frame. Each team scored a run in the third to make to 4-4.

Espinoza hustled American Pharoah to the lead leaving the No. 5 post and quickly got him over to the rail. Materiality was on his outside in second, but never applied any serious pressure traveling along the backstretch before falling away on the second turn.

American Pharoah started kicking away heading into the final turn.

He opened up on the field as he powered through the 1,097-yard stretch, displaying his fluid, springloaded stride in which he appears to float over the ground.

“It’s just an amazing feeling that you have when you’re 20 yards from the wire,” Espinoza said. “And then at the wire I was like, ‘I cannot believe I did it.’”

American Pharoah ran the final quarter-mile — a stretch that has dashed numerous Triple Crown dreams — in 24.32 seconds, faster than Secretariat’s time of 25

Freland again started in the circle but was given a no decision. She did not allow a run and surrendered just one hit in four innings. She struck out six and walked one.

Taking the loss was Gillespie. She threw the final two innings and gave up three runs on four hits. All three B-F runs were scored in the fifth.

Pleasantville 11, PCM 3 PLEASANTVILLE — One bad inning doomed PCM on Friday night. The Mustangs led 2-0 through four innings but allowed 10 runs in the fifth and suffered their fourth straight loss.

PCM committed three errors and managed just five hits at the plate.

Chase Keuning had two hits to lead to the offense. Trey Lindsay went 1-for-2 with a run, two walks, a double and a stolen base, while Austin Brown had one hit, one walk and one RBI. Jerod DeVries added a hit, an RBI and he also walked.

Keuning started on the mound and took the loss. He pitched into the fifth, allowing three runs — two earned — on two hits. He walked three, hit three and struck out two.

ry about it,” the trainer said, “but he just kept on rocking and rolling.”

Sent off as the overwhelming 3-5 favorite, American Pharoah paid $3.50, $2.80 and $2.50.

Mubtaahij was fourth, followed by Frammento, Madefromlucky, Tale of Verve and Materiality.

American Pharoah delivered a victory for the Egyptian-born Zayat, who bred the colt and put him up for sale before buying him back for $300,000.

His name came from the family’s online contest, in which a woman from Missouri submitted the winning moniker, but the misspelling — it should be pharaoh — wasn’t noticed until the name was already official.

American Pharoah joined the exclusive club of Triple Crown winners Sir Barton (1919), Gallant Fox (1930), Omaha (1935), War Admiral (1937), Whirlaway (1941),

Count Fleet (1943), Assault (1946), Citation (1948), Secretariat (1973), Seattle Slew (1977) and Affirmed.

A sign with American Pharoah’s name and silks was quickly put up in the infield next to the 11 other Triple Crownwinners.

The crowd of 90,000 — capped to avoid overcrowding and long lines from last year’s total of 102,199 — roared as American Pharoah turned for home.

It’s unlikely the champion heard them since American Pharoah wears ear plugs to block noise that might get him worked up.

Since 1978, the rigors of the Triple Crown had done in 13 other horses who won the Derby and the Preakness — with 12 losing the third leg and I’ll Have Another scratched with a leg injury in 2012.

Their failures left the sport and its fans craving a worthy successor to the 11 previous champions.

It’s said that you don’t get to keep what you give away, though the premise will be tested during this Aquarius moon. Generosity is its own gift: a feeling of extreme usefulness, an awareness of being woven into the grand tapestry of life, security found in the seamless connections that allow us to lose ourselves and become something bigger.

NEWTON

110 N 5th Ave W, Newton and when you do, life instantly will get better. The first step is deciding what you’re going to think about instead.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The person who makes you feel secure and safe in the world will earn the highest esteem you award. You may be that person for another today. It helps that you have a rock-solid belief and are sticking to it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

There are many factors that contribute to a problem, and it would be wrong of you to take too much responsibility for the way things are turning out. Step back and assess what is really within your realm of influence.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Someone to witness your life -- that’s a basic human need.

We are creatures who can’t see ourselves properly, but we get much closer to the truth when we’re able to peek through another person’s point of view.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’ve always thought it bad taste to inflict your mood on another person, which is why you put on a happy face whether or not you’re feeling that way inside. Confide in a supportive friend. It’s better for your health.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ll see someone who’s working the plan, and the plan is working. Follow that person!

It might not work exactly the

DAILY NEWS 641-792-5320

same for you, but it will work better than trying to wing it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

A stressful situation will finally get sorted out -- what a relief!

Your personal interactions will be much more gratifying now that this ball of tension is released and out of your life for good.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You have a very special crew around you. In fact, if you had a do-over, you would choose them all over again.

Express the enthusiasm you feel, and you’ll learn that the feeling is mutual.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). High levels of tension don’t promote clear thinking or

problem solving. What do you need to do to relax yourself?

Exercise will be one of the most effective stress-relievers.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

It’s like you are experiencing the amplified version of your feelings. There are no more ambiguous emotions. At this volume, you can hear with clarity all that’s going on.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Expecting things to go right is optimistic, but it’s also stressinducing in a less than perfect world. The best thing you can do for your life, mood and attitude today is to allow for a certain margin of error.
