LaVera sentenced to 10 years A 34-year-old California man was sentenced Monday to 10 years in prison for third-degree sexual abuse.

District Court Judge Terry Rickers handed down the sentence which also included a requirement for David A. LaVera to register as a sex offender and waiving of any LaVera fines and possible restitution to the victim.

Rickers dismissed the additional charges of enticement of a minor, attempting to entice a minor and carrying weapons as a part of the plea deal. LaVera is still facing federal child pornography charges after his plea deal was denied at a Friday sentencing hearing in Des Moines.

During Monday’s sentencing, LaVera was given the opportunity to speak. He said that he has nothing further to say, hoped the court would accept his apology, said he had shown his gratitude to the state and asked for mercy from the court.

Rickers said he would recommend a concurrent sentence with the federal sentence but did not guarantee it would happen with federal sentencing still pending. He also told LaVera he has the ability to appeal the sentence within 30 days.

LaVera was charged locally in June 2014 after allegedly using his celebrity status impersonating a “Twilight” actor to entice a then 14-year-old girl to a park in Baxter after having sexually explicit conversations 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.

despite not having any food or water.

Cori Mapes, the rescue league’s facility manager, said Marshall County animal control personnel were dispatched to pick up the animal and take it to a Marshalltown shelter.

However, after it was determined Sprite was found in Jasper County, she was brought to the Jasper County Animal Rescue League in Newton.

Monday afternoon, Sprite appeared healthy, energetic and able to supply wet dog kisses. Mapes said the situation could have been much worse.

“That’s unsafe to leave any animal without food and water,” Mapes said.

“It’s not rare to see a heavy chain like that, but the plastic zip-tie is rare.”

Mapes said if someone would have stopped to help Sprite, but didn’t have a tool that would cut a heavy-duty zip-tie, it would have

The Iowa Utilities Board could decide the fate of the Dakota Access crude oil pipeline by late December under a procedural timeline released Monday.

According to documents posted on the IUB’s website, the three-member governor-appointed panel has designated weekdays from Nov. 12 through Dec. 2 for a final public hearing to determine if Dakota Access, LLC’s permit to build the underground crude oil pipeline will be approved. A location for the hearing has not been announced, but the IUB indicated in the release a decision from the hearing could be released by late December 2015 or early January 2016.

The hearing will also determine if Dakota Access’s parent company —Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners — will be granted the right to use eminent domain to excavate and lay pipeline on properties where voluntary easements were not granted by the private landowners.

The 1,134-mile, 30-inch diameter oil pipeline would carry 570,000 barrels of crude oil per day. If approved by the IUB, the Iowa segment will be part of a connecting line between the North Dakota Bakken crude oil fields with a hub in Patoka, Ill. leading to gulf coast refineries.

The timeline released by IUB outlines several deadlines in the pipeline hearing process. The document states any individual intending to intervene in the November/December proceeding must file a petition with the board on or before July 27.

IUB will file a report by Aug. 21 identifying any additional issues Dakota Access needs to address in its hearing testimony. Those supporting the project need to file prepared direct testimony by Sept.

8. Those not in support of the project have until Oct. 12 to file direct testimony for the hearing. Dakota Access and project supporters will have an opportunity to file rebuttal testimony by Oct. 26.

For the permit approval/eminent domain hearing to move forward, IUB has requested Dakota Access officials file documents detailing the number of Iowa land parcels affected by the project. The

She was found in a small zip-tied cage with a heavy chain around her neck Friday evening along Highway 14 at Laurel Corner.

Dog found in zip-tied cage, chain around neck Animal left on Highway 14 at Laurel Corner

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The slogan for the soft drink Sprite used to be “Obey your thirst.”

A dog found Friday evening would liked to have obeyed her thirst, but was found in an abusive and potentially harmful situation.

“Sprite,” as the dog was later named, was reportedly found along Highway 14 at Laurel Corner — the intersection of Highway 14 and Highway 224 — sometime on Friday evening between about 6 p.m. and 10 p.m.

Sprite is a 55-pound dog — possibly a Husky mix — that was in a cage that’s intended for a much smaller animal. The cage was locked shut with a plastic zip-tie, and a heavy chain was wrapped around Sprite’s neck. Fortunately, Sprite was still in apparently good condition,

District to fill vacated science teacher position Board approves one-year faculty contracts

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Two weeks ago, four people signed up to speak at a Newton Community School District board meeting about the same topic: maintaining advanced-placement classes at Newton High School.

Monday night, at the board’s next meeting, there were no public-forum speakers, but Superintendent Bob Callaghan announced several positions will be

filled, including the science position that will allow the Newton High science department to remain at its same teaching level.

The vacancy was created by the resignation of Newton High science teacher Sarah Curry, whose husband has taken a job out of state, giving life to rumors that NHS would not offer AP chemistry and/or other science classes next year.

“We will be filling that position,” said Callaghan. “Even though there was a rumor that we were going to not hire a science teacher, that was never a plan.

We simply didn’t know

where everything was going to end up. The difference between a zero percent increase in state funding and 1.25 percent is about $43,000 or one teacher, but a lot of people have stepped up. A lot of people have shown real Cardinal pride.”

The board approved a series of one-year contracts with teachers and Jason W. Brooks/Daily News other staff.

Cover crop meeting Thursday in Monroe

Submitted photo Emily Light, left, and Jaden Hunter, show off turtles in May at Aurora Heights Elementary School. An Iowa Department of Natural Resources proposal would ban trapping the turtles commercially during their mating season, but the proposal requires the governor’s approval to move forward.

Turtle trapping impact debated Amount of meat harvested in Iowa has tripled over last 25 years

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News While the amount of turtles harvested is increasing, there isn’t a universal consensus on the threat to their habitats or existence.

State wildlife officials sent a proposal to Gov. Terry Branstad in February that would have limited the trapping season for certain types of turtles, but the governor hasn’t yet given the approval needed to send the proposal to the Iowa Natural Resource Commission. The proposal, which would limit the trapping season of wild painted, smooth and spiny softshell and snapping turtles from July 16 to Dec. 31 to prevent the decline of the population, as those species have a mating season that is typically in the late spring.

The Sierra Club of Iowa is one of the groups most in favor of limiting the trapping season; Iowa is one of 10 states that doesn’t limit annual turtle trapping with calendar start and end dates. Keri Van Zante, the director of Jasper County Conservation, said it isn’t clear, at this time, what impact a diminished turtle population would mean to the county’s wetlands.

“I am unsure of the effect this will have on us, as I don’t have any data on turtle trapping in Jasper County,” Van Zante said. “I’m not sure if it is a high number or not.”

In March, New Jersey made one of the more significant recent

moves regarding turtle-trapping restrictions, ending the commercial harvest season about two weeks before its planned March 31 closing date. A news release about the change says extreme measures were needed to protect turtles, especially the diamondback terrapin.

Turtles are harvested primarily for gourmet cuisine, and are sold as pets. Demand for turtle meat is rising, particularly increasing in Asia, where the meat is used in soup and other dishes. The Sierra Club sent a letter to Newton Daily News and other media, calling for citizens to contact the governor and encourage tighter restrictions on turtle trapping.

“Once the turtles have been removed from a water body, turtles have great difficulty re-establishing their populations,” the letter states. “The ongoing population health is fragile, and could easily result in over-harvest if adequate and proper monitoring is not pursued. Consequently, the Iowa Chapter supports annually monitoring the populations of the four commercially harvested turtle species to determine appropriate numbers allowed for harvest. The Chapter also supports authorizing the Iowa Department of Natural Resources to close the season for any turtle species that faces population declines.”

The Iowa DNR hasn’t released specific Jasper County data about turtles, but it does have the statewide total poundage of harvested

turtles by year. The amount has risen from about 30,000 pounds per year in the late 1980s to more than 230,000 pounds in 2013.

The number of licensed commercial harvesters has also tripled during that span, going from fewer than 40 to more than 150. The Iowa Sierra Club said that in addition to trapping pressures, the state’s turtles face challenges in loss of habitat, poor water quality and losses due to predators.

Turtles do have a history of making a comeback. In New Jersey, terrapins decreased dramatically by the 1930s, due primarily to harvesting for food but numbers started increasing again by the 1960s before returning to an at-risk status in recent decades due to habitat loss, drowning in crab traps, and vehicle strikes.

Van Zante is not convinced any season or limitations would necessarily need to be permanent.

“I look for this to be similar to the past situation with otters or bobcats,” Van Zante said.

“Both were over-hunted and over trapped and then became protected. Now, both are up in population — and restrictions have been lessened.”

Iowa legislature approves $9.6 million for water quality initiative DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey today highlighted the Iowa Legislature’s continued commitment to partnering with farmers to make significant long-term progress in protecting Iowa’s soil and water resources. The Legislature approved $9.6 million to support the Iowa Water Quality Initiative in the next fiscal year, which starts July 1. The legislation now goes to Governor Branstad and must be signed before going into effect.

“Farmers have greatly increased their financial commitment to improving water quality in recent years and I appreciate our state’s leaders doing the same. Iowa is a model nationally for the progress that can be made on this important issue.

These funds will allow us to continue to expand our water quality efforts and engage more Iowans,” Northey said.

The Legislature provided $4.4 million for water quality in the Agriculture and Natural

Resources appropriation bill (SF 494). In addition, $5.2 million was included in the in Rebuild Iowa Infrastructure Fund (RIIF budget, HF 650), $450,000 of which will be allocated to the Nutrient Research Center for “nutrient water monitoring network technology and equipment.”

The funds will allow the Department to continue to offer cost share statewide to farmers trying new water quality practices, continue work in targeted watersheds to achieve measurable water quality improvements, expand urban conservation efforts, and develop new programs to help engage all Iowans in improving water quality.

The appropriation for the Department also includes $6.75 million for conservation cost share.

For over four decades, Iowa’s soil conservation cost share program has encouraged the adoption of conservation structures and practices to protect and preserve our state’s natural resources and improve water quality.

Local News Continued from Page 1A board requires a breakdown of granted voluntary easements and landowners who have not granted the company permission to enter their property. Dakota Access will file what IUB calls “exhibit H” by Aug. 10.

Approximately 33.73 miles of the planned 343.43 mile Iowa segment will go through Jasper County. According to documents provided by ETP, Jasper County will house the most piping of any Iowa county if the proposal moves forward.

Landowners near Mingo and Reasnor have already been approached by IUB to negotiate voluntary easements to excavate and lay the pipeline.

Records obtained Monday from the Jasper County Auditor’s office show Dakota Access has acquired signed agreements for 63 parcels of land in Jasper County. The total number of Iowa landowners granting voluntary easements has not been calculated, but Nathan Malachowski of Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement — a nonprofit organization fighting the development of the pipeline — said his organization has been contacting county auditors offices across the 18-county pipe-

line route to compile a list of affected landowners. Iowa CCI estimates that 15 to 20 percent of Iowa landowners contacted by Dakota Access have signed easements.

Conversely, Dakota Access spokeswoman Vicki Anderson Granado said Monday the company has collected voluntary easements from nearly 60 percent of tracts along the pipeline route.

Monday’s filing follows stalled eminent domain bills in the Iowa House and Iowa Senate. Senate File 506 and its companion house study bill would have required Dakota Access — and an private utility project — to acquire voluntary easements from 75 percent of affected landowners. The bill would have also bumped hazardous liquid pipeline liability insurance requirements from $250,000 for the entire project to $500,000 per affected county.

Sen. Rob Hogg (D-Cedar Rapids) was a co-sponsor of the Senate version of the legislation and publicly spoke out against the Dakota Access project at an April 22 rally at the State Capitol. He attributed SF 506’s failure to reach the Senate floor to uncertainty in the vote count.

Initially, he and other proponents thought tying the fates of the crude oil pipeline at the Rock Island Clean Line

Mike Mendenhall/Jasper County Tribune A stockpile of 30-inch pipe continued to grow Monday in a farm field north of Highway 6 East along East 76th Street North, three miles east of Newton. The pipe intended for the pending Dakota Access Pipeline began arriving in Jasper County in mid-April. If the project is approved in the newly announced public hearing, Dakota Access LLC will purchase the pipe from the contract procurement company.

— an electric transmission line carrying wind energy across northern Iowa into Illinois — would align both property rights advocates in the Republican party and the environmentalist wing of Democratic lawmakers. But he said many renewable energy advocates in the Legislature support the clean line which made broad legislation harder to swallow.

“The Legislature did not advance legislation to ad-

dress eminent domain by non-utilities,” Hogg said.

“Although there is significant concern about the proposed pipeline and transmission line projects, many legislators believed that the legislation was unnecessary because the Iowa Utilities Board will properly consider the public interest and reject the use of eminent domain by private companies.”

According to IUB spokesman Don Tormey, the board

Mapes said the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office has been informed of the case, but she wasn’t aware of any witnesses that saw Sprite being abandoned at Laurel Corner.

Tuesday morning, Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty said no arrests have been made.

However, if the individual who dropped the restrained dog at the Highway 14 location can be identified, his office would be able to move forward with an investigation.

Anyone who has information about the case should contact the sheriff ’s office at 641-7925912.

Keeping Me on My Toes

A much needed date night

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | June 9, 2015

Date night. It is something you don’t put a lot of thought into before you have kids, but after, it becomes almost a necessity. My husband and I don’t have a planned date night and it became apparent that we hadn’t gone anywhere without the kids for awhile after a having a packed month of May. This past weekend was the first time we didn’t have anything scheduled. We are done with school, dance, craft shows and most obligations and found ourselves at home with no plans. The girls were ready to go and played hard all weekend long. We played outside, inside, in the pool, at their grandparents house and went on several walks.

By Sunday evening, the girls were still little balls of ener-

gy. They have recently began wrestling, which is completely new for me. I know a lot of my friends would wrestle with their siblings that are close in age, but since my closest sibling is 10 years older than me, I have no experience.

The girls were having fun, laughing — all while they are pulling and kicking and doing things they would normally throw a fit over. It took a lot of patience and letting go to watch them play without making the fun stop. When the wrestling moved over to my lap it dawned on me that my husband and I could benefit from some time away.

I sent a text to my niece to see if she was available, and as luck would have it, she was able to watch the girls for a few

hours while we went to dinner and a movie. Feeling a little older than our actual age, we set out for dinner around 5:30 p.m. to catch the movie that started at 6:30 p.m.

I have to say it was really nice just enjoying my meal without having to watch kiddos and make sure they were eating and not playing or just behaving in general. I took my time eating and talking with my husband rather than rushing to get my food down while helping the girls.

We went to see the new “Entourage” movie, hoping for about two hours of mindless entertainment, which it delivered.

It gave us laughs without having to think too hard about the plot.

Although it is not going to win any awards, the movie was the

right kind of entertainment we needed.

Getting time to just talk with my husband, whether over important things or just day-to-day interests, without any interruptions, comes few and far between and was much needed after a busy spring. When we got home, our youngest was already asleep and our oldest was pretending to be asleep but giggled as soon as we walked in the room.

We can’t forget about date night or push it off to the side, even as our kids get older and more involved in activities.

Luckily, we have family close to us that can help out when we need a night away.

Bakken pipeline will abuse eminent domain Hughie Tweedy Montrose The Iowa state flag has the powerful motto, “Our Liberties We Prize, and Our Rights We Will Maintain.” Surely property rights are one of the rights our motto refers to. The Dakota Ac-

Ernst leaves gay vets behind Rob Humble Iowa City On Thursday the Senate considered an amendment to the fiscal 2016 defense authorization bill. The amendment aimed to ensure that veterans in same-sex marriages would have access to certain spousal benefits, no matter where they live. It failed by a 53-42 vote.

cess pipeline mafia has invaded this state, torn up our flag and used it for toilet paper.

Eminent domain is defined in my dictionary as “superior ownership.” We must stop the abuse of this power. For the Iowa Utilities Board to grant superior ownership to an out of state private corporation for their benefit and profit would be unconstitutional, a slap across the face of Iowa property owners,

would tear the soul out of this earthly body and is just plain wrong.

I am not a land pimp, and I will not prostitute out my family heritage or have our sacred family farm and forest desecrated for money. No means no.

Iowa does not need this pipeline; this pipeline needs Iowa. It’s time to stand and fight against it, and I for one will never back down.

It is worth noting that Senator Joni Ernst (herself a veteran) voted against the amendment.

In doing so, she made her position clear — gay veterans are not equal to heterosexual veterans. It is true that yes, later this month the Supreme Court will rule whether the Constitution protects the right to marry, so this vote was largely symbolic.

However, it suggests that Senator Ernst feels justified leaving soldiers behind, so to speak.

But it’s not too late. I would applaud Senator Ernst if she apologized and revised her position. Veterans are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for our safety and security. There is no justification to deny recognition of their marriages, or to deny them the benefits that marriage provides.

I ran into God four times last week.

I was in a small, street corner convenience store, the kind Spanish people call a “bodega.” I bought a can of Coca-Cola, the m o s t By Marc Dion American of beverages. The man politely took my money, and I noticed the small plastic crucifix on the wall, right next to the half pints of liquor.

A couple days later, I was in a liquor store, buying a six-pack of beer.

The Indian people who run it had a small statue of some god or goddess behind the counter, next to the cigars. The god was blue in color, which means it is Vishnu. How did I know it was Vishnu? I asked the guy behind the counter. He seemed mildly surprised at the question.

I was in line at the dry cleaner, picking up my shirts. The guy in front of me, a portly fellow when viewed from behind, was wearing a yarmulke.

At the end of the week, I went to the drug store to pick up a prescription for my mother. The young girl who gave me the prescription was wearing a hijab, the headscarf some Muslim women wear.

I worked Sunday this week. I’m a newspaper reporter and I spent part of the day in a crushingly poor neighborhood, getting some resident reaction to a fatal stabbing that occurred the day before. One regular, non-hijab wearing, no blue gods American is alleged to have fatally knifed another of the same sort. The dispute was over a $50 debt.

Muslims have killed several thousand of my countrymen in this century, including the men and women who died when America foolishly sent its sons and daughters overseas because the rich guys needed some more death.

And I guess the girl in the hijab is capable of raising sons who will bomb the Boston Marathon. It’s happened.

I don’t know who raised the person who did the stabbing I was reporting on that Sunday. Probably almost no one. There’s an army of those folks around, violent with no ideology at all, killers without the hijab. They don’t make much of a crash in the killing department, hardly ever 3,000 a pop, but they grind away at the job slowly, killing one here, one there, killing each other, killing their girlfriends, killing their own children.

Today, I bought gas at a station owned by an immigrant from Syria.

There’s God trouble in his country.

“The Muslims,” he said. “They’re not like Christians. They really practice their religion.”

He seemed to admire that trait. I suppose we all do in one way or another. True belief is always attractive because it’s so certain.

That’s what frightens us most about the killing in a poor neighborhood, the killing over $50. It has no good reason, no God, no political party, no uniform, no sect, no history, no anthem and no flag.

That kind of thing just doesn’t make any sense.

Meet comments about biracial child with humor and pride DEAR ABBY: May I comment on the letter from “Open-Minded in Pennsylvania” (3/6), the adoptive mother of a biracial child who asked for a witty comeback for strangers’ comments/questions? This is a rare teaching moment! If a parent reacts with the slightest hint of displeasure, the child will think the parent is displeased with her/him.

We adopted a daughter of a different race 29 years ago. When I received comments/questions from acquaintances and strangers, my face would light up, and I’d respond, “Oh, we adopted her! She is Filipino! We are so blessed to have her in our lives!” Usually, the person would smile and say something positive.

The rare times someone didn’t, we would hurry on with a wave and a smile, and I would hug her close.

Our daughter has grown up proud of her ethnic background and knowing she’s special. She is now married and the proud mother of two biracial children. — JUDY IN TEXAS DEAR JUDY: You handled the situation beautifully. I heard from a slew of adoptive parents after printing that letter. Let me share some of their comments: DEAR ABBY: Thirty years ago, we adopted two baby girls of a different race from ours. Our adoption social worker gave us some insightful advice about what to do when someone made a bigoted or ignorant remark. She said: “Always remember your child is watching you to see how she is supposed to feel about what has just happened. If you become upset and defensive, your children will feel that way too and begin to believe something is ‘wrong’ about them and your family. So take the role of teacher and educate the ignorant person. Keep it light, add humor if you can, and

then chuckle later with your child and other family members about the silly dumbness of a few people in the world.” It worked for us. — ANTONIA, MOTHER OF TWO DEAR ABBY: When my adopted son from Bogota, Colombia, was about 4 months old, we were shopping for groceries one day. A woman approached our cart and asked, “Where is he from?” I smiled and replied, “Heaven!” — KATHY IN NEW YORK DEAR ABBY: I employ a strategy I learned from your column. I face the questioner with a smile and say, “I am stunned that you would ask such a personal thing!” The look on the asker’s face is priceless. And it makes it quite clear that I have no obligation to respond to anything someone may choose to ask. To that mother: Hold your head high, radiate pride in your precious child, and know all’s right in your world. — PAT IN THE NORTHWEST DEAR ABBY: I have a wonderful grandchild of mixed race.

When I’m asked insensitive questions like, “What is he?” I smile, hold him close, and respond, “He’s PERFECT — don’t you think?”

1 Nearly 500 tractors expected in Tractorcade

MOUNT PLEASANT — Nearly 500 vehicles are expected to join the Great Eastern Iowa Tractorcade this year.

The three-day event begins Monday at its home base in Mount Pleasant. Monday’s destinations include Danville, West Point and New London. On Tuesday the tractors will roll into Salem, Keosauqua and Houghton before returning to Mount Pleasant.

And Wednesday’s lone destination is Wayland. The Great Eastern Iowa Tractorcade is hosted by Cedar Rapids radio station WMT.

Man who found ring lost decades ago returns it THORNTON — A man has found and returned a class ring lost in Mason City nearly 50 years ago. It was found by Tom Teeter, of Mason City, with his metal detector last month in a field near Hoover Elementary School. Terry Long said he’d given it to his girlfriend to hold while he was coaching at a Little League game in 1967. She’d placed it on a blanket on the ground and forgot it was there when they went to a car to leave.

near burning car

COUNCIL BLUFFS — Authorities in western Iowa are investigating the death of a Texas woman found near her dead dog and a burning car.

Sgt. David Dawson of the Council Bluffs Police Department says 43-yearold Paula Arnett was found early Monday near a burning pickup truck parked at a local Days Inn. Arnett had a gunshot wound to the head. A handgun was found underneath Arnett. Dawson says police are investigating the death, but they do not suspect foul play.

Additional case of bird flu surfaces in Sioux County SIOUX CITY — Iowa agriculture officials are reporting an additional farm infected with bird flu in Sioux County. It’s the 18th case in the county and was found in a flock of 3,800 birds of various species. An Iowa Department of Agriculture spokesman says he can’t be more specific about what type of farm is infected or what species of birds are involved. It is the 73rd case of bird flu in Iowa.

The outbreak has cost the state more than 29 million birds including 24 million egg-laying chickens

Iowa to prosecute case against police chief’s son MUSCATINE — The Muscatine County attorney is asking the Iowa attorney general’s office to prosecute theft and burglary charges against the Muscatine police chief ’s son, citing a conflict of interest.

Drake Talkington,19, has been charged with several felonies including second-degree burglary, second-degree theft and possession of methamphetamine.

School officials call for cameras to help enforce law The Associated Press MASON CITY — Cameras are needed to help enforce an Iowa law that increased penalties for drivers who illegally pass by school buses whenever they’re stopped, according transportation administrators at several school districts.

Under the state law, commonly referred to as Kadyn’s Law, driving privileges are suspended for 30 days for a first conviction, increasing to 90 days for a second conviction and 180 days for a third conviction.

The law was prompted by the 2011 death of 7-year-old Kadyn Halverson, who was hit by a vehicle as she crossed a rural road to board a school bus.

Randy Meyer oversees transportation and ground operations at Mason City and Clear Lake schools said an exterior camera on the buses is needed to help identify more violators. Without the camera, it’s hard to identify a vehicle in the split second a violation occurs. Only about 10 percent of drivers who illegally pass the buses get reported to law enforcement.

“If they can get the (license) plate, they will, but our drivers are more concerned about watching students and making sure they’re safe,” Meyer said. “Our first priority is safety for kids.”

He said that he doesn’t’ expect cameras to be installed onto the outside of Mason City buses anytime soon.

“We’d be able to ticket violators more, but I’m not sure if it will curb the problem,” he said.

“We’ll always have violators.”

Justices to review Tyson Foods appeal over class-action suit The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court agreed Monday to weigh new limits on the ability of workers to band together to dispute pay and workplace issues.

The justices said they will review a $5.8 million class-action judgment against Tyson Foods Inc. over the pay for more than 3,000 workers at its Storm Lake, Iowa, pork processing plant.

The case could allow the high court to elaborate on its 2011 decision blocking a massive sex-discrimination case against Wal-Mart Stores Inc. that would have included up to 1.6 million female workers.

Tyson, the Springdale, Arkansas-based company, said it should not have been forced to defend a class-action lawsuit that claims it failed to pay thousands of “knife-wielding” employees and others for time spent putting on and taking off protective work clothes and equipment.

A federal appeals court in St. Louis ruled 2-1 for the employees, who worked on the slaughter or “kill” floor and on the processing or “fabrication” floor.

Tyson argues that lower courts should not have allowed statistics to determine damages for the entire class based on average times observed in a sample of workers from the class. The company calls that a “trial-by-formula” that the high court rejected in the Wal-Mart case.

The company also says the lower courts improperly allowed the class to include hundreds of members who were not injured and would receive no damages in an individual lawsuit.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs say courts have used “representative proof ” to allow class actions to go forward for nearly 70 years.

Tyson has faced similar litigation around the country. In 2010, it settled a decade-long dispute with the U.S. Department of Labor by agreeing to pay workers at some poultry plants for time they spent putting on and taking off protective clothing.

Gov. Branstad not committing to approving budget plan The Associated Press DES MOINES — Gov. Terry Branstad declined Monday to say whether he will sign off on the entire $7.3 billion spending plan approved by the Legislature last week.

Branstad said he needs to review all the budget bills backed by the Republican-led House Branstad and Democratic-controlled Senate. He declined to say how he will act on key pieces of the compromise plan, which in-

cludes $7.17 billion in ongoing spending, as well as $135 million in one-time expenditures.

A key piece in the one-time spending bill is $55.7 million for schools in the upcoming academic year. The governor did not signal his intent, but said he was not a fan of one-time spending, saying “you really can’t use it for salaries because it’s not going to be there the next year.”

Branstad also criticized lawmakers for failing to approve K-12 education funding for the 2016-2017 school year, but did not say if he would try to call lawmakers back in a special session.

“The Legislature just completed its work on Friday. I know

they had a very difficult time coming together and I know there were some strong feelings on both sides,” Branstad said.

“But I’m the chief executive of the state. I’ve heard from schools and I’ve heard from Iowans that they don’t like this constant fight.”

Another item that remains up in the air is a compromise plan to provide funding to two mental health institutions slated for closure. Branstad said it was under review, but noted the state was changing the way mental health services are delivered.

“We don’t want to go back to the way we delivered mental health services back in the 19th century,” he said.

Feds charge two Iowa men in undercover sex sting SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Five men have been charged in federal court in South Dakota with attempted commercial sex trafficking.

Authorities say the charges relate to responses to online advertisements during an undercover oper-

ation.

Those indicted are 25-year-old Benjamin Iverson and 29-yearold Scott Larson of Sioux Falls; 27-year-old Nathanuel Downs of Sioux City, Iowa; 29-year-old Lance Hunter Jr. of Little Rock,

Iowa; and 26-year-old Jose Oxlaj of Guatemala.

All of the defendants have pleaded not guilty.

The charge carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 10 years in prison.

HOW WE MADE THE GYRAFOAM

Now Available!

ONLY $19.99 plus tax

In 1898, Howard Snyder, a rural Austin, Minnesota farm boy accepted an offer from Frederick L. Maytag to start working at the Parsons Band Cutter & Self Feeder Company in Newton, Iowa. This marked the start of Snyder’s inventive career of nearly thirty years culminating in a series of innovations that propelled the Maytag name to the forefront as an iconic brand among washing machine manufacturers. Dr. Tom Hoover, a Newton Iowa historian, has written a book entitled How We Made The Gyrafoam: The Story of Two Midwestern Farm Boys Who Changed Washday Mondays Forever, which is now available for pre-order at the Newton Daily News. The book follows the life of Howard Snyder, raised near Rose Creek, Minnesota, and reveals the role Frederick L. Maytag, a farm boy from Laurel, Iowa, played as his benefactor and friend. Together these two outstanding men led The Maytag Company to the top of the washing machine world in 1926. Maytag once commented about Snyder that "90% of everything we make or improve upon is because of him." At the time of Snyder's death in 1927, Maytag lamented "I feel that I am losing a companion, my pal and dearest friend that I ever had." Take advantage of this opportunity to order your copy before the book goes on sale to the general public.

Cardinals strike late to beat Mustangs

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Put the ball in play.

That’s what Mike McCormick knew he had to do in the bottom of the eighth inning for Newton High’s Cardinals.

The senior second baseman stepped into the batter’s box seeing the bases full of his teammates. There were

no outs in a 5-5 ballgame and all he had to do is put the ball in play forcing Dallas Center-Grimes’ Mustangs to make a play.

“Mike hit the ball deep enough to right field to allow Tyler (Wood) to tag up at third and score the winning run. This was a huge win for our team,” said Dustin

Brisel, Newton head coach. “We talk about being routine, making the routine plays and we did that tonight.”

Newton rallied from a 3-0 deficit with two runs in the fourth inning. The Cardinals faced a 5-2 deficit in the bottom of the seventh inning.

Junior catcher Duncan Lee and McCor-

mick sparked a rally with back-to-back singles to open the seventh. Senior Tristan Peters put the ball in play and reached on a Mustang error as Lee scored.

Sophomore Trey Vanderlaan’s groundout drove in a run, so Newton trailed 5-4.

Another groundout by junior Drew Stout

pushed Peters to third base. The Cardinals were down to their final out. Senior center fielder Jeff Stanton delivered an RBI single to left field tying the game.

The Mustangs recorded a third out, but the game was locked at 5-5.

Newton High’s softball Cardinals didn’t back away or fold up their tent facing Class 4A thirdranked Dallas Center-Grimes Monday in Little Hawkeye Conference play.

The Cardinals couldn’t break onto the scoreboard against the visiting Fillies at Berg Middle School field, but they made the Fillies go the distance to pick up a 5-0 win.

“That was the toughest team we’ve

played so far this season. They are a very solid team all around,” said Kristina McNew, Newton head coach.

“Our defense is playing so well.”

Offensively, the Cardinals weren’t able to get things going against the Fillies.

“At the plate, we just struggled to string hits together,” McNew said. “We still need to work on adjusting at the plate and shortening up our swings when we need to.”

Raiders start fast, fight off late Tigerhawk rally

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — In the first inning of Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s Heart of Iowa Conference road game against Colfax-Mingo, the Raiders scored three runs and collected six hits at the plate.

Over the course of the final six innings, CMB managed to collect five more hits and scored just one run.

Fortunately for the Raiders, four runs was enough as a late rally by the Tigerhawks fell just short during CMB’s 4-3 victory.

It was the Raiders’ fourth straight win and it came on a night when sophomore starter Abbey Kahler didn’t have her best stuff.

“I knew they would try to make a run on us if we didn’t put more pressure on them,” CMB coach Troy Houge said. “They started to hit the ball hard there late and it was a night where Abbey didn’t have her best stuff late in the SOFTBALL | 2B

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior MacKenzie Schmitz slides into second base safely ahead of the tag from Colfax-Mingo’s Amy Russell. The Raiders led 4-1 after four innings but needed to hold off a late Tigerhawk rally in the 4-3 victory.

Col lins-Maxwel l/Baxter junior Brady Stover had made marked improvements over the course of his high school baseball career.

He went from not winning a game on the mound d u r i n g CMB’s onewin season By Troy Hyde in 2012 to Newton Daily News having the seventh most Sports Writer strikeouts in Class 2A last year.

This season, the left-handed junior has been nearly perfect.

And if the improvement continues throughout the rest of the season and gets even better in 2016, there is no limit to where Stover can go.

He did make a decision on where he plans to pitch in college last week though.

After he hit a two-run home run and helped lead the CMB baseball team end a long losing streak against Prairie City-Monroe, Stover went to Twitter to announce his future plans.

“I am proud to announce that I have officially committed to the South Dakota State University to play baseball,” Stover posted.

The early commitment may have come as a surprise to some. The University of Iowa was set to watch the junior left-handed pitch in the coming weeks. And Stover also had interest from Minnesota and Illinois State.

But after visiting with his parents on the way home from last Wednesday’s game against PCM, the family agreed that South Dakota State, a Division I program which is a part of the Summit League, was the best fit.

“They saw me really early, and they call me every weekend,” Stover said. “They have huge interest.

“Iowa was recruiting me pretty heavily, too, and they were going to come to a game next week. But I called South Dakota State and asked for a timeline to make my decision and they essentially told me they were going to offer my STOVER | 2B

Bishop fans 10 in CMB’s win over Tigerhawks Newton Daily News COLFAX — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Nate Bishop struck out 10 and the Raider bats broke open a 2-all game with six runs in the top of the seventh as CMB defeated Colfax-Mingo 8-2 on Monday night.

Hunter McWhirter had three hits and two runs, while Brad Ritter and Creighton Caple each collected two hits and scored one run. Caple also knocked in one.

“We will shake this off and look to play better down the road,” Scandridge said. “Caleb James had a good night at the plate, going 3-for-3 with one RBI and two stolen bases.”

James had three singles and Jake Brand connected for two base hits. Hitting a single each were Caden Dunsbergen, Kolton Fisk and Baker Zegers.

Kahler came into the game with an earned run average of 2.00 and it won’t go higher than that after the complete-game win. The Tigerhawks (1-9 overall, 0-5 in HOIC play) got an unearned run off her in the second thanks to an RBI single by eighth-grader Colbee Cunningham. An RBI double

by Rhiannon Haley made it 4-2 in the fifth and then backto-back one-out doubles by Amy Russell and Ries Wilson closed the gap to 4-3.

Kahler, though, closed the door after that, getting the final two outs on fly balls to the outfield.

Colfax-Mingo recorded 12 outs in the air against Kahler, and the undisciplined at the plate was ultimately the area Tigerhawk coach Bryan Poulter looked at after his team dropped its eighth straight game.

“I am not going to discredit their pitcher, but there just wasn’t any discipline on our side,” Poulter said. “The majority of our outs were in air.

You don’t put much pressure on the defense when you do that. We are looking for line drives and ground balls. I am not sure where that mentality came from.”

The recruiting trail can be a tough process. Schools like South Dakota State have to do things like that to get the players they want and keep them away from bigger schools for as long as possible.

Iowa, which had a historic season in Iowa City this summer, already has eight commitments for next year. The Jackrabbits have made Stover their No. 1 option at pitcher.

That made things easier for Stover, who is happy the recruiting game is in his rearview mirror.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo’s Brooke Nicholson fields a ball in left field during the Tigerhawks’ 4-3 loss to Collins-Maxwell/Baxter.

CMB’s Payge Jurgens came into the game with a home run in each of her last three games.

She did not homer Monday, but she did have two hits and a walk. Jurgens, Abbey Appelgate and Avery Hlavacek, the 4-5-6 hitters in the Raiders’ lineup, started the game a combined 5-for-6 and set the tone for the rest of the game.

The first inning barrage included six hits and CMB left the bases loaded. MacKenzie Schmitz and Megan Ritter each singled to begin the game and Jurgens’ first hit loaded the bases.

Appelgate then clipped the this recruiting stuff. Once I made my decision, it helped me be able to enjoy my summer,” Stove said. “My dream has always been to be a Division I player and that is accomplished. I am excited to go and play for them.”

In 2013, Stover hit .258 as a freshman, and in seven starts went 0-6 on the mound with an earned run average of 4.35. He struck out 75 hitters though in just 37 innings.

As a sophomore in 2014, Stover improved his average to .329 with three home runs and 17 RBIs. And in 17 starts on the rubber, he went 4-3 with an ERA of 2.21 in 50 2/3 innings. His 95 strikeouts also ranked seventh in 2A. The Raiders won one game in 2012 and improved that to

bottom of the fence in the air in left-center field and Schmitz scored to make it 1-0. The lead grew to 3-0 when Hlavacek smoked a two-run double to the fence in left field.

The Raiders (5-4, 1-4) made it 4-1 in the fourth when Katie Camp led off the inning with a bunt single and then scored on an infield single by Megan Ritter.

Camp started at second in place of injured sophomore Mikayla Eslinger and had two this in the game.

Eslinger sprained her ankle in the win over Ogden on Friday. Houge hopes to have her eight last year.

This year, CMB is 3-2 in its first five games and Stover is 2-0 with an ERA of just 1.08 on the mound in two starts.

He also has 28 strikeouts and just five walks. His opponents hit .177 off him in 2013, .156 in 2014 and are hitting just .116 so far this year.

The improvements can still get better, Stover said.

“I have worked a lot on offspeed pitches this past offseason, and I will need to continue to improve with those,” Stover said. “I can always get my velocity higher, too. I’ve always wanted to reach 90 miles per hour.”

back in the near future.

“She’s close but we may hold her out the rest of the week,” Houge said. “It’s swollen, but I don’t think it’s going to be too bad. I think she’ll be back here pretty soon.”

Cunningham had three hits to lead Colfax-Mingo at the plate and she also became the first Tigerhawk pitcher to throw seven innings in a game this year. And after the first inning, she fared well against a Raider squad that outscored their last three opponents 20-2.

“It was nice to see Colbee go a full seven innings tonight, and the defense did some good things and made some plays,” Poulter said. “She knows how to hit the ball, too. She’s one of our leading hitters. She’s seeing the ball well right now.”

The Tigerhawks had seven hits in the game. Sophomore Alivia Haley finished with two hits and a run scored.

Ritter, Jurgens and Appelgate all finished with two hits apiece. Hlavacek had two RBIs and Appelgate also drove in a run.

He earned all-state honors in football this past year and was on CMB’s runner-up shuttle hurdle team in track and field this spring. But just devoting himself to pitching should help.

And it even could lead the junior to get to the level after college.

Katrina A. Davis CMC, City Clerk June 9 Newton Water Board Meeting Minutes Friday, April 17, 2015 The Newton Waterworks Board of Trustees met in regular session on Friday, April 17, 2015 in the City Council Chambers.

Maureen Chairperson 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 and Toni Werden.

The Board approved the February Board Minutes by consent.

Bret Doerring moved to approve the March Financials as presented.

Lee Zmolek seconded the motion.

Motion Approved Office Manager Toni Werden gave the Board an update regarding online payment option.

Toni has been working with a company that would offer this option for a $250 annual flat fee.

The companies' software is compatible with our current billing software. The problem is that she and her staff must do a daily allocation to breakdown water bill revenues to water and the rest to the City for Sewer, Garbage, and Recycling. At this time Toni feels that it is not practical to use the Online Payment option. She gave a breakdown of how customers pay their bill.

25% of customers use the autopay option, 35% of customers walk in to pay, 33% pay by mail. The Board felt that at this time the WaterWorks offered sufficient pay options without going to online payment option.

Steve Van Dyke of Fox Engineering presented Change Order #3 for the Newton Water Plant Flood Mitigation project.

This Change Order negotiated a time extension of 150 days for substantial completion and 128 days for final payment.

The dates are substantial completion is April 17, 2015 and the final payment on May 8, 2015. Lee moved to approve Zmolek Change Order #3 as presented.

Second: Bret Doerring Motion Approved Steve Van Dyke presented Contractors Application for Payment No. 6 for $130,832.50 less 5% retainage, net payment of $124,290.87.

Bret Doerring moved to approve Pay Estimate #6 to MPS Engineers as presented by Fox Engineering.

Second: Lee Zmolek Motion Approved Fox Engineering presented a Plan of Action to respond to IDNR inspection finding that Backwash Recovery Tank does not meet IDNR standards. Much discussion was held concerning this plan and the thought that

Change Order #3 as presented.

Second: Bret Doerring Motion Approved Steve Van Dyke presented for Contractors Application Payment No. 6 for $130,832.50 less 5% retainage, net payment of $124,290.87.

Bret Doerring moved to approve Pay Estimate #6 to MPS Engineers as presented by Fox Engineering.

Second: Lee Zmolek Motion Approved Fox Engineering presented a Plan of Action to respond to IDNR inspection finding that Backwash Recovery Tank does not meet IDNR standards. Much discussion was held concerning this plan and the thought that maybe we should question this finding and talk to IDNR about it.

Bret Doerring moved to approve the Plan of Action for the Backwash Recovery Tank.

Second: Lee Zmolek Motion Approved Marty Hoffert presented the Water Treatment and Distribution report. The static well water level for April is 24 feet.

Marty told the Board that it is normal this time of year with very little well recharge. Water loss for March is 19% which is higher than last month.

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

The distribution crew completed the new main extension at E. 4 ½ St. S. to E.17th St. S. Fire Hydrants will be flushed on Friday and Saturday night.

The manager presented the Draft or preliminary FY15-16 Operating Budget to the Board for review.

The Budget included Operating Revenues of $2,979,080 and Expenditures of Operating $2,800,982 including $300,000 Depreciation. Palmer anticipated an income before depreciation of $478,097 and a net income of $178,097.

The manager told Board that final Budget Projection would be presented at the May Board meeting.

The next Board meeting will be on Friday, May 22 at 12:00 noon in the Newton Water Treatment Plant.

The meeting was adjourned.

Respectfully Submitted L.D. Palmer, Secretary Newton WaterWorks Board of Trustees June 9
