Edwards requests another hearing to reconsider sentence Newton man convicted in vehicular homicide of local teen

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News A 43-year-old man convicted of vehicular homicide in the death of a Newton teenager will return to court in August for a hearing to reconsider his sentence.

This marks the second time since his Sept. 22 sentencing that Daniel L. Edwards has requested a motion to reconsider.

Edwards is serving a 10-year sentence after pleading guilty last fall in the incident that killed 14-yearold Brendan O’Brien.

Edwards will appear at the new hearing at the Jasper County Courthouse on Aug. 13.

Edwards The first such request in April was denied by District Court Judge Martha Mertz, however Mertz specified Edwards could renew

his request after successfully completing a substance abuse treatment program. Edwards’ attorney, Gerald Feuerhelm, said in his most recent request for a new hearing that Edwards was told he will not be offered such a treatment program anytime in the near future, possibly not for several years.

In January, Feuerhelm filed a motion to reconsider sentence due to his client’s “age, education, criminal history and the fact that the defendant has received the rehabilitative effect of being incarcerated.”

Edwards was initially charged in July 2013 following

an investigation into the April 21, 2013 incident in which police determined Edwards was speeding and under the influence of synthetic drugs when he struck O’Brien with a Chevy Blazer.

O’Brien was hit at approximately 9 p.m. on a Sunday night as he was walking northbound in the 1100 block of East 19th Street North with a group of friends. Edwards, traveling at approximately 41 mph in a 35 mph zone, hit him with his vehicle as he was out delivering pizzas, according to court documents.

O’Brien was unresponsive

when police officers arrived on the scene. He was transferred to Skiff Medical Center and then airlifted to Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines where he died two days later as a result of injuries sustained in the collision.

Online court records show Edwards has an extensive history of driving infractions, including dozens of traffic violations and several charges for driving while suspended or revoked.

New federal sentencing date set for LaVera

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A new federal sentencing date is set for David A. LaVera after his initial sentencing date e n d e d with the judge rejecting his plea deal.

T h e 34-yearold CalLaVera ifornia man will o n c e again appear in court at 11 a.m. Aug. 21 at the U.S. District Courthouse in Des Moines.

LaVera pleaded guilty to the charge of possession of child pornography with additional charges of sexual exploitation of a child and production of child pornography being dropped as part of a plea deal.

Federal Judge John Alfred Jarvey said during the June sentencing hearing that he didn’t

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Newton Manufacturing is in the process of being sold to and taken over by HALO Branding Solutions as part of a bankruptcy process for the 106-year-old Newton company. Severance packages, short-term retention agreements, employment as one of about 12 employees to continue at a Newton office and possible employment at HALO’s Sterling, Ill., facility are some of the options the 59 Newton employees might have.

HALO personnel set to be in Newton on Wednesday

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The bankruptcy declaration and sale of a 106-year-old Newton company appears to have cleared a major hurdle.

Newton Manufacturing declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in paperwork filed around June 1, and is being purchased

by HALO Branded Solutions, a Sterling, Ill. company. Monday was the deadline for other potential buyers to bid on the company, and no new bids were submitted.

The transaction is still subject to court approval, with a 10 a.m. hearing set for Friday in U.S. District Court in Des Moines.

HALO attorneys filed motions

that allow for a sale of Newton Manufacturing within 30 days, so June 30 is set to be the transition date of HALO’s ownership.

Unless some surprising developments take place, Friday’s hearing should be the last courtroom procedure related to the transition.

feel LaVera was going to get any punishment with the deal that was in place. The federal sentencing could require LaVera to serve more than five years in prison.

The charges stemmed from an incident in which 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.

District Court Judge Terry Rickers sentenced LaVera to 10 years in prison on a state charge of third-degree sexual abuse June 8. Rickers dismissed the additional charges of enticement of a minor, attempting to entice a minor and carrying weapons as a part of a plea deal.

HIRTA numbers picking up with new services

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Jasper County Board of Supervisors approved the funding allocation of $32,785 to Heart of Iowa Regional Transit Agency Tuesday. The board stopped short of approving an additional $18,113 that was requested for a local match to replace one bus.

“The problem with that (the matching funds) is we should have been hearing about this in January when budgets are set for next year,” Supervisor Dennis Stevenson said. “We didn’t put any money in next year’s budget (to match funds). We’ll have to figure that out

but we just absolutely need to hear from you guys by the first of January.”

Executive Director Julia Castillo said she understood the timeline for budgeting and will work to have requests in to be considered by the board. She also described the work that HIRTA has been doing in Jasper County and why they have not asked for any additional money, besides for matching funds which is required to receive federal funds.

“Our ridership is so good here is Jasper County, our expenses haven’t gone up, we just keep adding people to the services that we already have. The actual cost of the trip is stay-

ing relatively the same even though our ridership is going up,” Castillo said.

HIRTA has also started several new services including trips to Des Moines, expanded night and weekend services and a collaboration with the Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau and the Iowa Speedway for race day shuttles.

“We partnered with the speedway to provide shuttle services which has been going really well,” Castillo said.

She said the first weekend for the shuttle was a little slow but now that word has been getting out, the numbers grew at the second Speedway event last

First United Methodist VBS to begin July 6

Kate Malott/Daily News Volunteers from churches and organizations such as First United Methodist Church and the Newton Rotary Club work on teams to package food for Jasper County Kids Against Hunger March 7 at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Newton.

Kids Against Hunger packaging event planned for July

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Jasper County Kids Against Hunger will be holding a food packaging event from 9 a.m. to noon July 11 at St. Lukes United Methodist Church, 501 E. 19th St. N. Several area churches and organization will take part in packaging specialized meals that will travel all over the world to help feed hungry children.

“We’ve been doing this as part of Holy Trinity ministry and part of the community ministry,” Holy Trinity Lutheran Church Rev. Dr. Kenneth H. Ahntholz said.

Ahntholz said since the organization started in the area in 2009, they have put together more than 392,000 meals. A key part of the events is raising money for the meals to be packaged.

“The actual cost is $54 (per box), so we are looking for people to sponsor to keep costs low,” Ahntholz said.

A team of 12 people can package approximately 1,729 meals with six meals in each bag. Each bag travels down an assembly line

of volunteers, receiving a portion of each ingredient, and then is sealed, stacked and boxed.

“We anticipate crossing the 400,000 mark of total meals packaged by volunteers since we began holding events in Jasper County,” treasurer of the local chapter, Bill Bennett said.

After the meals leave the event, they can stay as close as local food pantries or travel to areas in Albania, Honduras, Nicaragua, Haiti, Busia, East Africa, Monroubia or Liberia. Jasper County Kids Against Hunger is a wing unit off of the larger Kids Against Hunger Iowa based out of Mt. Pleasant which start in 2003.

The meals sent out by the organization have been formulated by food scientists from Quaker Oats, General Mills and Archer Daniels Midland, according to the Kids Against Hunger website. The meals provide a rich source of easily digestible protein, carbohydrates and vitamins needed by a malnourished child’s body and mind.

The food also accommodates to the broad diversity of ethnic tastes and religious differences around the world.

The food consists of high-quality white, long-grain rice, vitamin-fortified, crushed soy, dehydrated blend of six vegetables and chicken-flavored, vegetarian vitamin and mineral powder. The meals are able to be kept for long periods of time before use and only require boiling water for preparation.

The most recent packaging event was held March 7 and had eight teams who packaged 13,864 meals. The final planned event for the year will be in November at Lynnville Friends Church.

People or groups who wish to participate should register by July 3. A donation of $30 per person is asked for to help cover the cost of the food packaging supplies. If you would like to donate directly to the cause donations can be sent to: Jasper County Kids Against Hunger, Attn: Treasurer, 1409 S. 8th Ave. E., Newton, IA 50208.

Up Initiative brought before the supervisors

by Jody Eaton of Central Iowa Community Services. The nationwide initiative recognizes the critical role local and state officials play in supporting change and hope to help advance counties’ efforts to reduce the number of adults with mental and co-occurring substance use disorders in jails.

“The initiative is about creating a long-term, a national movement, not a moment in time, to raise awareness of the factors contributing to the over-representation of people with mental illnesses in jail and then using practices and strategies that work to drive those numbers down,” Eaton said.

All three supervisors voiced their support for the initiative.

“I think this a move in the right direction and I highly support this,” Stevenson said.

HALO Vice President of Marketing Terry McGuire said Monday that plans are in motion to keep a permanent office “somewhere in Newton” that will employ about 12 people. HALO is currently searching for an appropriate location for such an office.

McGuire said some details are still being worked out, but some Newton Manufacturing employees who were employed at the time of the bankruptcy filing will receive severance packages. He also said Newton employees are allowed to apply for open positions at HALO’s Sterling facilities, and there will be at least a few new jobs created there as a result of absorbing Newton Manufacturing.

McGuire also said the company’s independently contracted sales force will have to contract directly with HALO. Contracts will be negotiated on or about June 30.

There’s a difference between people and policy

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | June 24, 2015

Somewhere along the way, we, as a society, started lumping unpopular policies, practices and histories together with the individuals responsible for executing government or commercial business.

The phrase “hate the game, not the players” got lost, as we started to equate human worth with professional decisions — some of which were understandable, or almost forced, and some of which seemed, to some of us, to be highly questionable.

It isn’t easy to separate personal differences from decisions made on the job. However, it might be one of the things we need to do in order to survive with the cultural framework that we’ve known in the U.S. for more than 100 years.

Some might think that’s easier for me to say than it would be if my resources or freedoms were unexpectedly taken away, and indeed, if I were on the short end of the judgment of anyone in authority, it would be tough not to take it personally. However, that’s my

obligation as a mature, adult citizen: to separate policies and rules from people, especially when the people I meet on the street are not the ones setting up procedures or passing laws.

That’s not to say we should blindly follow government, or disagree with decisions, choices or plans of our leaders. It simply means we respect each other as individuals, no matter what role or position each of us hold or don’t hold. Name-calling, labeling and stereotyping is getting us nowhere.

We need to begin looking at what works and what doesn’t work on a case-by-case basis, rather than by grouping, assuming and characterizing. We need to fix problems — not people. My disagreements with anyone on policy have nothing to do with our efforts to get through each day safely and productively.

It’s actions that matter; we are getting too wrapped up in off-thecuff comments, especially ones made within the safe, relative anonymity of the digital world.

There are a great number of people who feel Def Leppard went for too commercialized a sound on their “Pyromaina” album, and sold out even more for “Hysteria” and subsequent albums. Folks will argue about this with all the same fervor they will use for gun rights, Roe v. Wade and foreign military policy, and will go into name-calling and make it personal.

Law enforcement, fire and utilities (including high-speed Internet) are critical elements of our safety and our way of life. When the chance comes up to comment or give intelligent, to-the-point input about how our tax dollars are used, we should take advantage of this by attending public meetings and communicating with elected and appointed officials. No one gets it right every time, or even follows their own organizations’s procedures perfectly.

However, 4 a.m. is not the time to debate policy.

While most of us agree there are major government shifts or

changes of direction needed in our society, each one of us is still trying to get through each day with as little conflict as possible, and go home in peace. This should apply to everyone we encounter, in all situations.

Unless you are dealing with a computer, you’re not interacting with a policy; you’re interacting with a person.

Many of the Iowans I’ve met in the past six months are angry about either the amount of taxes they have to pay, the ways that money is used or not used, or both. It’s important to remember that taxes don’t buy perfection, nor do taxes guarantee outcomes that please everyone. Sometimes, outcomes please no one.

Let’s all try to remember that there are a lot of rules, regulations and methods that aren’t popular.

Policies are made by people, and how we treat people shouldn’t be governed by popularity.

Confederate flag controversy a complete misdirect

Obama’s EPA tosses water on grills, fireworks Could this be the last great American summer? It will be if President Obama and his grumpy band of killjoys at the Environmental Protection Agency get their way.

Under orders from the president, the EPA has decided to wage war against summer staples such as backyard cookouts Drew Johnson and Fourth of July fireworks shows.

Absurdly low ground-level ozone standards are the latest – and likely the most expensive and oppressive – regulations the EPA has proposed adding to its already mountainous list of rules and directives suffocating the American economy.

Because the proposed ozone standards are set so low, things as harmless as several barbecue grills cooking at the same time in the same area, or even a festive fireworks being launched during an Independence Day celebration, could tip an area already on the brink of surpassing federal ozone thresholds over the edge and into “nonattainment.” Such a violation of the EPA’s unreasonably low ozone limit would trigger fines and hand-slapping from federal regulators.

In an attempt to steer clear of punishment, local lawmakers are likely to respond to the new EPA rules by enacting municipal grilling bans and canceling fireworks

shows from coast to coast.

Environmental activists claim that something as harmless as a few fireworks or several families cooking burgers on the grill couldn’t get an area in trouble with the EPA, but it already has.

A few years ago, Independence Day fireworks put the city of Wichita, Kansas, in violation of the present-day ozone level.

What the EPA is now proposing would lower those existing standards by more than 13 percent – from 75 parts per billion to 65 parts per billion – to a level barely above the naturally occurring level of ozone in the atmosphere.

The move would put scores of cities out of compliance and force a crackdown on any activities that produce even minuscule amounts of ground-level ozone – be it bottle rockets or backyard barbecues.

The EPA attempts to justify its irrational proposal by pretending that it will do great things for air quality. In reality, the ozone regulations will create massive headaches for everyday Americans, but would do next to nothing for the environment.

Americans are already breathing the cleanest air in more than 30 years, and air quality in the U.S. continues to improve annually.

Even the EPA itself doesn’t seem to understand why this new rule is needed. While testifying before Congress earlier this year, EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy indicated that ozone levels would get down to 70 parts per billion over the next decade without this rule.

To make matters worse, the

current EPA ground-level ozone standard was set just seven years ago. In fact, scores of places around the country are still in violation of the new standard and the EPA hasn’t yet cared to figure out how to help those get those areas into compliance. Now the agency wants to make it worse for those regions by moving the bar lower still. It’s as if the EPA is Lucy pulling the football away from Charlie Brown.

So what will this rule actually accomplish? Well, besides putting an end to grilling out and fireworks shows, it would kill jobs and stifle economic growth in America.

Recent studies by the National Association of Manufacturers and other groups have shown that the EPA’s new directive would be the most expensive regulation ever enacted, costing the economy $140 billion annually. Even the EPA’s own cost estimates acknowledge the economic hit from the proposed regulation would be well into the tens of billions of dollars a year.

If it is allowed to go into effect, the new ozone standard would leave the average American family with hundreds of dollars less in their pockets to spend on things like groceries, clothes and school supplies.

By now, Americans shouldn’t be surprised the EPA is behind such a dimwitted and destructive rule. After all, the EPA is the same agency that pays its own scientists to do “independent” peer reviews of its ideas and even spent a considerable amount of time coming up with silly new regulations covering creeks, streams, ditches and big puddles.

Last week, evil racist terrorist Dylann Storm Roof allegedly shot nine innoc e n t black memb e r s of the Emanuel African Metho d i s t By Ben Shapiro Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C. Before their bodies had cooled, President Obama attempted to blame the shootings on the National Rifle Association and lack of gun control; Hillary Clinton blamed the shootings on white supremacy and Donald Trump-like overheated rhetoric; Bill Maher blamed Fox News, and suggested that Fox News ought to be droned like al-Qaida propagandist Anwar Al-Awlaki.

Despite these divisive tactics, Americans united. There were no racial lines to grief: Thousands of blacks and whites marched in Charleston, packed the devastated church, mourned together.

But the American left could not stand such racial unity — it threatens their cherished belief that America continues to represent racial oppression and white supremacy. And so the media and politicians on the left manufactured a racial controversy over the Confederate flag.

Now, there are plenty of excellent reasons to oppose the placement of the Confederate flag on state grounds: The Union won, as it should have; the Confederate battle flag originally represented a new nation founded on reverence for slavery, a deeply evil institution; the Confederate battle flag was utilized by Southern Democrats as a symbol of resistance to federal desegregation during the Jim Crow era. Blacks in America are absolutely

right to feel offended by the flag.

By the same token, there are plenty of decent reasons for the Confederate battle flag to stay on longstanding state monuments: to remind viewers of the fact that evil and good live together in every human heart; to remind viewers of the fact that good people did sacrifice on behalf of their states’ sovereignty, not merely to defend slavery (most of those who fought and died for the Confederacy did not hold slaves); as a symbol of Southern military heritage, given that the South has always been overrepresented in terms of its military service in the United States.

My own personal belief is that the flag should not be displayed on state grounds, but is perfectly appropriate for display at war memorials. A country and state willing to remove the Confederate flag do not need to do so; a country and state willing to acknowledge their legacy of slavery and racism need not discard their history or monuments acknowledging that history.

Having a national conversation about what to do with Confederate flags and war memorials raises interesting and vital issues. But that conversation has nothing to do with the shooting of black Americans in South Carolina. The left’s implication that those who revere the Confederate flag are all budding Dylann Storm Roofs, or that they sympathize with Dylann Storm Roof, is nasty and unsupported by evidence.

It is, however, politically effective. The left’s decision to politicize the South Carolina shootings by immediately swiveling to a longstanding racial controversy demonstrates their sick inability to allow America to move beyond racial divides. Every conservative in America called for Roof to fry.

Iowa KidsNet to hold information session for prospective foster parents in Newton Newton Daily News Iowa KidsNet, the statewide organization that recruits, trains, licenses and supports Iowa’s foster and adoptive families, will hold an information session in Newton from 6 to 8 p.m. July 7 for individuals interested in becoming foster or adoptive parents.

Foster care is the temporary placement of children with families outside of their own home due to abuse, neglect or other family crisis situations. The goal is for loving families to provide children with a safe and nurturing environment until they can

be reunified with their birth families or find permanency through other means, such as adoption.

Iowa has a high need for more families to foster teens, sibling groups and children with special needs or behaviors.

This information session gives families a basic overview of the process involved in foster care and adoption and an understanding of the characteristics of children in the child welfare system. There is no obligation to continue in the process by attending.

Iowa KidsNet encourages all Iowa residents who can provide a stable home for a child to in-

quire, including single adults, married and unmarried couples, homeowners and renters. Foster families come from all sexual orientations and racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds. Iowa has a high need for more African American, Latino and Native American families who can maintain and increase a youth’s connections to a cultural background.

To inquire online and see future session dates, visit www. iowakidsnet.com. Upon registering, families will receive the specific location of the session and an information packet to fill out before attending.

Operation Dry Water starts Friday DES MOINES - A group of state, federal and local law enforcement agencies will partner again to focus enforcement of Iowa’s boating while intoxicated law as part of the national Operation Dry Water campaign June 26-28, to draw public attention to the hazards of boating under the influence. “We will conduct boating while intoxicated focused enforcement with increased patrols, checkpoints, and be administering breath tests and working to inform the public on the haz-

ards involved on the waters across Iowa,� said Susan Stocker, boating law administrator and education coordinator for the Iowa DNR. More than 71 percent of Iowa’s boating fatalities involved alcohol in 2014 and many of those victims were innocent bystanders.� she said. “The effects of alcohol can be intensified when combined with wind and wave action and an extended time spent in the sun. Operators may not think they are under the influence, but their judgment, re-

action time, balance and vision indicate that they are,� Stocker said.

In 2014, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and its partners contacted more than 354 vessels containing 1,109 boaters resulting in 59 citations or warnings as part of Operation Dry Water. The 2014 effort was conducted on the, Coralville Reservoir, Clear Lake, Mississippi River, Lake Rathbun, Lake Red Rock, Okoboji and the Missouri River.

The DNR has partnered with the U.S.

Coast Guard, the Army Corps of Engineers, and local sheriff ’s department as part of previous Operation Dry Water campaigns.

Woman raped by friend’s fiance must share her secret burden DEAR ABBY: Six months ago, my best friend’s fiance raped me. He is a man I’ve known for many years, and I didn’t see it coming. I became pregnant but had a miscarriage two months later.

I recently had to have a hysterectomy from damage incurred from the rape and the miscarriage.

I never went to the police or pressed charges, and very few people are aware of the whole horrific experience. I have been beyond traumatized by what happened.

My best friend knows nothing about it, and I have been unable to face her since that awful night. We text now and then, and she keeps asking why I have suddenly dropped out of her life.

I don’t know if I can tell her the truth.

We were as close as sisters, and I honestly miss her like crazy, but I can’t be part of her life if this monster is in it.

Do I tell the truth? Or do I just shut her out of my life? This has taken a physical and emotional toll on me.

Please give me some advice. — MISSING A FRIEND IN CANADA DEAR MISSING: Gladly. Find the nearest rape and sexual assault treatment center in your province and make an appointment immediately!

You need more help than anyone can give you in a letter, and the people there can counsel you not only on what to do, but also what your options are at this point. Your friend should absolutely be informed about what she’s getting into if she marries your rapist, but I do not recommend that you tell her until you have strong emotional support beside you.

DEAR ABBY: Our married son and two young children live in Kurdistan, Iraq. They are volunteering for a charity that helps Syrian refugees.

While we admire their noble efforts, we struggle with the daily sacrifices this brings to our whole family.

We work full time and could save up to visit them, but because we are

not comfortable with their choice to live in this dangerous part of the world, we continue to refuse their invitation.

What do you advise? Are we being self-centered? — SO FAR AWAY DEAR SO FAR AWAY: No, you are being rational and self-protective. Not only do I not think you are self-centered, I’m suggesting you keep them in your prayers and use Skype or video chatting to stay in contact.

DEAR ABBY: Recently a friend invited me to a sex toy party. The saleswoman hosting the event is a distant acquaintance.

What is the most polite way to ask her if she has informed her family of her profession? Is it OK to attend if she hasn’t told her relatives she sells sex products? If I refuse her invitation, would it be polite to enclose an order for some of her products? I prefer to buy from a reputable saleswoman rather than some anonymous website. — AWKWARD IN ILLINOIS DEAR AWKWARD: I don’t think it would be appropriate to ask your hostess whether she has informed her family about her career, although I suspect she has made them aware of it.

And if you prefer to decline the invitation, I’m sure enclosing an order for her products would be fine with her — and possibly the start of an ongoing business relationship.

of killing ex-girlfriend’s fiancé

DES MOINES — An Iowa prosecutor says a man meticulously planned to kill his former girlfriend’s fiancé, but a defense attorney says mental illness and side effects from a medication caused his client to commit the slaying. The trial of 27-year-old David Moffitt, of Pleasant Hill, began with opening statements Tuesday in Polk County District Court. Moffitt’s charged with murder, accused of shooting 30-year-old Justin Michael in May 2014 in Grimes as Michael slept next to his fiancée, Angie Ver Huel.

Mother who bit child gets $200 fine

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News A Cedar Rapids woman accused of biting her 5-year-old son on the cheek while outside of a Newton convenience store has been ordered to pay a $200 fine.

Heather N. Wiley, 31, was charged with child endangerment with bodily injury on June 22, 2014 after a witness called police and said she observed the incident at Casey’s, 1200 W. 18th St. S. The witness said she saw the boy in the front seat of a vehicle upset and crying. She said she saw the mother bending over toward the Wiley child and then the child saying “... why did you bite me?” and began crying. The woman then yelled back at he child and said “why do you scream like that?”

The witness provided a license plate number, description of the mother and child and police were able to locate her and pull her over on Interstate 80.

According to the police report, the child had a visible bite mark on the right side of his face. The child told police his mother did bite him.

Wiley initially pleaded not guilty to the charge.

As part of a plea agreement she pleaded guilty to assault, a simple misdemeanor. In her guilty plea she said she “had physical contact with a minor that was offensive.”

District Associate Judge Steven Holwerda imposed a fine of $200, plus surcharge, court costs and restitution for court appointed attorney fees.

Authorities identify man found dead in Iowa River HILLS — Authorities have identified a man found dead in the Iowa River.

Johnson County Sheriff Lonny Pulkrabek says in a news release Tuesday that 41-year-old Shawn L. Warrington was recovered from the water on June 17. Authorities described him as homeless.

People fishing in the river near Hills contacted authorities after seeing a pair of pants and boots protruding from a brush pile. The cause of death remains under investigation.

IOWA CITY — Iowa football expects its number of season tickets sold to drop by as many as 4,000 this fall.

The Hawkeyes finished 2014 with just under 40,000 season ticket holders. Athletic director Gary Barta says the Hawkeyes anticipate selling between 35,000 to 37,000 of those to the general public by next season.

Iowa’s overall ticket sales have plunged in the past few years, and a blowout bowl loss to Tennessee in January to end a 7-5 regular season didn’t help.

Food supplier sues egg farm alleging breach of contract The Associated Press DES MOINES — A food supplier claims an Iowa egg farm breached a contract after bird flu disrupted the supply of eggs.

Michael Foods Egg Products Co., a subsidiary of St. Louis-based cereal-maker Post Holdings Inc., filed a lawsuit in federal court in Des Moines on Monday alleging Hawkeye Pride Egg Farms in Corwith is in breach of a Jan. 27, 2014, contract.

“Hawkeye’s breach of the contract will

cause Michael to suffer substantial harm,” the lawsuit says. “Under the present circumstances, such harm will be irreparable.”

Michael Foods primarily supplies extended shelf-life liquid and precooked egg products and eggs used in food ingredients.

Court documents say details of the contract are confidential but that losses exceed $75,000 — the threshold a case must meet to be filed in federal court.

Michael Foods seeks a court order stopping Hawkeye from breach-

ing the contract, a judgment against the egg supplier and damages “in an amount sufficient enough to compensate Michael for Hawkeye’s breach.”

Hawkeye Pride is a division of Sioux Center-based Center Fresh Group, which owns Iowa egg farms that lost 7 million chickens, including 5.5 million egg-laying hens. A spokeswoman declined to comment Tuesday on the lawsuit, and the company’s attorney, Jan Mohrfeld Kramer, did not respond to a message.

A spokesman for parent company Post Holdings did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.

Post said last week that about 25 percent of its yearly egg volume commitments have been affected by the bird flu.

Two company-owned chicken flocks in Nebraska were affected by the viral illness that has affected 48 million birds, mostly chickens and turkeys, nationwide. In Iowa, 31.7 million birds have been lost, mostly egg-laying chickens.

Clinton says Confederate flag has no place in US FLORISSANT, Mo. (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton said Tuesday the Confederate battle flag should not be displayed “anywhere,” weighing in as South Carolina lawmakers seek to remove it from the grounds of their statehouse.

The Democratic presidential candidate called the deadly shootings of nine black church members in Charleston, South Carolina, “an act of racist terrorism perpetrated in a house of God.” Clinton called the Confederate flag a “symbol of our nation’s racist past that has no place in our present or our future. It shouldn’t fly there. It shouldn’t fly anywhere.”

Clinton joined with church members in the St. Louis suburbs, near the violent protests touched off last year in nearby Ferguson after the death of Michael Brown, an unarmed young black man who was shot by a white police officer.

Clinton said she appreciated the work of South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, a Republican, and state lawmakers who are working to remove the Confederate flag from the statehouse grounds. She also commended Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the Arkansas-based company on whose board she once served, for announcing it would remove any product from its stores that features the Confederate flag.

She encouraged other companies to follow that example while noting that Amazon, eBay and Sears have done so.

Clinton has put America’s struggle with race relations at the forefront of her presidential campaign in recent weeks and urged church members here to find ways to turn their grief, anger and despair into purpose and action. The Clinton campaign said she was initially scheduled to discuss economic issues during her stop in Missouri, but after the Charleston shooting, she said she wanted to hold the event in a church and discuss race.

Iowa expecting dip in season ticket sales

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."

Cardinals couldn’t find the hit, lose to No. 1 Indians

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Opportunities were there, but “the hit” didn’t come for Newton High’s Cardinals Tuesday.

The Cardinals put the ball in play and had base runners against the No. 1 team in Class 4A. They just didn’t score.

Newton’s softball team lost 7-0 to visiting Oskaloosa in Little Hawkeye Conference play at Berg Middle School Field. The Indians were coming off their first loss of the season, a 4-0 decision in LHC play Monday against Pella Christian.

Oskaloosa scored twice in the first inning using a single and a walk to put its first two batters on base. Kylee Sillman drove in the runs on a base hit.

Newton got its lead-off batter on as Sydney Jenkins reached on an error.

The Cardinals stranded her on first base.

The teams played two scoreless innings with the Indians up 2-0. In the fourth frame, Josie Bunnell singled and scored on a base hit by Anna Jones.

Newton had back-to-back singles

by Karley Leiker and Peyton Maher to begin its half of the fourth inning.

Again, the Cardinals could not move the runners. A fielder’s choice and a double play wiped out the Newton scoring threat.

The Indians took advantage of a Newton error in the sixth and Alexis Vroegh cranked out an RBI double in the top of the fifth. The Cardinals had a base runner in their half of the inning but no scoring hit.

Osklaoosa strung together three hits to produce two more runs in the sixth. Anna Jones singled and with one out, Sillman doubled home the run. Sillman scored on a two-out double by Aubrey Miller.

The Indians added a run in the seventh. With two gone, Bunnell singled, then stole second and third. She crossed the plate on a Cardinal error.

Newton High AD takes pride in program, school, community

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Yes, his name is on the award. However, Scott Garvis believes the national award he received belongs to Newton High School students, teachers, coaches, administrators, parents and the community of Newton.

Garvis was recognized Saturday at the 2015 National High School Athletic Coaches Association’s national convention in Rochester, Minn.

He was one of eight finalists from across the nation for the organization’s national athletic director of the year award.

“No, I didn’t win the big award, but it was a great experience. It’s a nice honor to know people around you appreciate what you do,” Garvis said.

“Being there for the few days of the convention was fun. I got to sit down with other athletic directors and share stories. Some of the men I met have been doing this for 30 or 40 years.”

Garvis said each finalist gave a presentation to all the athletic directors attending the convention. Glancing at Garvis’ presentation it is evident he talks the talk and walks the walk, as they say.

“Operating a First Class Athletic Program,” was the title of his presentation. Garvis

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High School Athletic Director Scott Garvis was a regional winner and national finalist for the 2015 National High School Athletic Coaches Association national athletic director of the year award. He received his regional award at the NHSACA national convention Saturday in Rochester, Minn.

is going into his fourth year as NHS athletic and activities director and he takes pride in his job because “I’m so fortunate to have so many great people here in Newton who do some awesome things,” he said in an earlier interview.

“It’s been a fun experience being here and work-

ing with people at the school and in the community.”

Garvis is more comfortable promoting those good things the NHS students are doing in athletics and activities than talking about a personal award. He was excited about the opportunity he had in attend-

ing the convention and meeting other athletic directors.

“Listening to the stories, I concluded there’s a great deal which is very much different, but some things are very much the same for those of us in this position at our schools,” he said.

When he returned

home, he found another award in his mailbox at the high school. He wanted to talk about it and another award given to Newton High recently.

“This new one is an Iowa Character Award from Drake University and the National Advisory Council for The Robert D. and Billie Ray

Center,” Garvis said.

“The character awards are given on the strength of character of a school’s athletics and activities department, which means it is about our kids and community.”

Newton High School’s Athletic Department has received the National Interscholastic Athletic Administration Association’s Quality Program Award designation at the Exemplary Level.

“Very few schools receive this NIAAA award, and I’m so proud of our program for these two awards,” Garvis said.

“These awards speaks to and focuses on the fact we have some great kids, parents, teachers, administration and a great community here in Newton. We have awesome kids who do great things here,” he said.

Garvis is an Iowa native, who was called tagalong by high school students coached by his father. He said he grew up on the sidelines.

Garvis has walked the walk of his students at Newton. He was a high school athlete, who went on to play football at Westmar University in LaMar. Law school was where Garvis had set himself up to go after obtaining an undergraduate college degree. The law’s lost is Newton’s gain.

Tom Brady appeals suspension

by NFL NEW YORK (AP) — After a 10-hour hearing, Tom Brady now must wait to find out if his appeal of a four-game suspension carried any weight with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.

The league suspended Brady for his role in the use of deflated footballs in the AFC championship game win over Indianapolis. He arrived at the NFL’s Park Avenue offices Tuesday morning, as did attorney Jeffrey Kessler, who is leading Brady’s defense.

It was growing dark when Goodell left league headquarters after he heard Brady and representatives from the players’ union during the lengthy meeting. League security said Brady also had left.

No details of the hearing were immediately available.

“I think we put in a very compelling case,” Kessler said, adding that no timetable on a decision by Goodell had been given.

Kessler said he would have no further comments Tuesday night, and neither the union nor the league immediately commented.

This was the latest step in the protracted “Deflategate” scandal.

It is uncertain how soon Goodell will announce anything. He could decide to keep the suspension as it is, reduce it or completely wipe it clean.

With training camps set to open in five weeks, the commissioner has some time to consider the evidence presented at the hearing. But the Patriots also can’t finalize training camp practice plans for the quarterback position until they know Brady’s availability for the 2015 season.

Hawks break losing skid at home; Mustangs lose at North Polk

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News In a game last week, Trey Lindsay follows through on his swing at the plate. On the road at Alleman Tuesday, Lindsay didn’t have hit, but did drive in one of Prairie City-Monroe’s two runs in a 4-2 loss to host North Polk.

SULLY — Lynnville-Sully’s baseball team made a turnaround quick. The Hawks faced second-place standing English Valleys in South Iowa Cedar League play at home Tuesday.

“What a difference 24 hours can make,” said Bob Scandridge, Lynnville-Sully head coach, following 1 4-1 win over English Valleys. The Hawks were coming off two SICL losses where they had been outscored 21-2 and had just three hits.

“We got good pitching from Jake Brand Monday against Iowa Valley, but struggled in the field, Scandridge said. “Tonight, Tyler Van Zante pitched a good game, and the defense responded by making the plays needed to hold EV to one run.

“This was a good confidence game for this team after two tough loses.”

Scandridge said there were technical problems with the statistical program and did not have game statistics available.

Lynnville-Sully (96, 8-5) hosts Keota Wednesday in a 6 p.m.

SICL contest.

Garvis Continued from Page 1B With encouragement of his college football coach, Garvis went down another path more than 16 years ago. Newton High School and several other school districts have benefited from the Iowa native’s work ethic and devotion to education, athletics and activities.

He stayed at Westmar as a graduate assistant football coach. He was the intramural activities director at Westmar and later at William Penn.

“Being a football coach and in charge of all the intramural activities gave me a good base to start on as an athletic director,” Garvis said.

He worked in three Iowa school districts — MFL Mar Mac in Monona, Muscatine and Newton. Garvis was the district director of athletics in Burnsville, Minn., then went to Eastside Catholic High School, a Seattle, Wash., area district as senior director of athletics.

Family brought him to Newton. He said he and his wife, Jayne, wanted to move their family closer to home and family.

Newton is real close to family.

“My sister, Cassie and her husband Pat Riley live here. It was Pat who called me to tell me Newton’s athletic director position was open. He asked if I’d be interested,” Garvis said.

“I flew back here from Washington for an interview. I enjoyed meeting everyone at the school and in the community. I felt at home.”

He and Jayne moved to Newton with their three children — son Grant, now 16 and will be a sophomore at NHS; and daughters Alex, 8, and Brooke, 6.

Garvis’ undergraduate degree is in political science and history. He has master’s degrees in educational leadership and athletic administration.

“I’d be lost without my wife.

I’m very lucky. She’s a great

mom and does so much at home, because I’m not there much,” he said. “She loves sports, so she and the girls come to a lot of the games.”

In his presentation at the convention last week, Garvis talked about operating a first-class athletic department, mentioning a lot of familiar aspects seen here at Newton High.

“It’s about putting the kids first, surrounding yourself with good people,” Garvis said.

“Here at Newton, we have a great staff which makes my job easier. We all work hard to provide our students with the best possible opportunities in athletics, activities and academics.”

Garvis has helped implement several new programs in Newton, including the all-inclusive NHS Hall of Fame. It recognizes Newton alumni in many walks of life. The second class was inducted two weeks ago.

One of those big changes for athletic directors in social media. Garvis has established a strong Newton High Cardinal website and Facebook page. He can be found on Twitter, but his updates on all social media are not strictly about sports.

“I’m activities director also and an assistant principal.

We’re proud of all of our students involved in activities. We have a ton of kids who are talented musicians,” Garvis said.

Garvis said he asks each of the NHS coaches to have one team community project each year. Coaches come to him with ideas and they run with those.

“We’re not just all about athletics and not just all about winning. There are definite life lessons and these are definitely educationally-based athletics here at Newton,” Garvis said.

“I believe that is what makes high school athletics so unique and great.

“We have kids doing great things, which doesn’t mean they win every game or always make the right decisions. But, our kids work hard to do the right things on and off the field of competition.”

Garvis works closely with the Newton High School Athletic Booster Club. He announced at its annual wrap-up meeting in May a partnership with UnderArmour athletic apparel for the 2015-16 school year.

“It’s great for our kids.

We’re co-branding Newton Cardinals and UnderArmour.

They asked us. The partnership brings the school perks on purchasing power and there is some upfront funding from them,” Garvis said. “It brings consistency to our programs.”

Garvis said this year’s theme is “Protect This House.” He said the school will kick off the season at the Aug. 20 football scrimmage. Garvis said all the teams would be there

tangs went to the lead on host North Polk in the second inning. The Comets tied it at 1-1 in the fourth.

The Mustangs responded with a goahead run in the top of the fifth. Unfortunately, North Polk plated three runs in its half of the inning to gain a 4-2 lead.

That’s where it stood at the end.

PCM dropped to 4-8 in Heart of Iowa Conference action and 5-11 overall. The Mustangs play at Collins against Collins-Maxwell/Baxter in HOIC play Wednesday. First pitch is at 7:30 p.m.

Ethan Thomas led the Mustang offense with a single and a double. Austin Brown doubled. Clay Cooper, Jerod DeVries and Noah Clark each hit a single.

Connor Warrick drove in a run with a single.

Trey Lindsay had the other RBI for PCM. Gunnar Davis took the loss on the mound, giving up seven hits, walking one, hitting two batters and striking out one.

along with a representative of UnderArmour.

“We’re always trying new things to promote our kids, our school and our community,” he said. “Some things haven’t gone over, but you go to the next idea.”

There’s no big secret to being successful as an athletic director, Garvis said.

“You keep your door open to the kids. Allow them to know you care about them not just as athletes, but as people and students,” Garvis said. “Part of my job is to check grades, and I have conversations with students about making sure their doing well in the classroom.”

Garvis strives to reach beyond the daily management of being just an athletic director.

He said he wants to reach further to incorporate different things to better serve the students.

“I love my job. You have to love what you’re doing to do it well. I’ve always said my biggest accomplishment is being able to meet so many great kids and people, and establishing relationships with those I meet,” Garvis said.

“Every day is something different. You have to be willing to work hard and willing to learn. It’s about education for yourself, the kids and the community.”

Garvis said the tiles for all the NHS all-state athletes are finished and ready to be put up near the high school gymnasium. There will be a similar display of all-state and all-American athletes on the brick wall near the booster club store building at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

Newton High is launching a new mobile app for the coming year. Students and adults can check in on the app when they attend activities. Points are awarded for attending activities and prizes can be won by students and adults.

Tigerhawks tumble, PCM, Lynnville-Sully and CMB roll

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News COLFAX — Colfax-Mingo’s Tigerhawks scored four runs in the bottom of the seventh. It wasn’t enough to counter an eight-run fourth had by the Colo-NESCO Royals. The Tigerhawks lost a non-conference game at home, 8-5, Tuesday.

Each team put up eight hits in the contest. It was the pitchers for each team — Reis Wilson for Colfax-Mingo and Mackenna Ruffcorn for Colo-NESCO — who did the damage at the plate also.

After the Royals had two walks and five consecutive singles in the fourth, Ruffcorn hammered out a grand slam, putting Colo-NESCO up 8-0.

Colfax-Mingo produced a run in the bottom of the fourth. Wilson doubled and Erin Earles provided a twoout RBI single. Wilson was 3-for-3 on the night with a single, a double and a triple.

There was no more scoring until the Tigerhawks came to bat in the seventh. Brooke Nicholson started things with a single and Mackenzie Brown drew a walk. Delaney Underwood reached on a fielder’s choice as Nicholson was forced out at third base.

Alivia Haley connected for a base hit to right field followed by a two-run double to left field by Amy Russell. Wilson singled in a run followed by a sacrifice fly by Rhiannon Haley for another run.

The Royals were able to halt the Tigerhawk rally there, securing the win.

Russell had the double.

Hitting a single each we’re Alivia Haley, Earles, Nicholson and Brown.

Colfax-Mingo is 4-17 overall. It takes a 3-8 record into Wednesday’s Heart of Iowa Conference game at home against Roland-Story.

PCM 8, North Polk 0 MONROE — Prairie

City-Monroe’s Mustangs rolled to an 8-0 win against visiting North Polk Tuesday.

The teams came into the Heart of Iowa Conference game with 8-4 conference records.

PCM (9-4, 16-8) travels to Collins Wednesday in a HIOC contest against rival Collins-Maxwell/Baxter.

First pitch is at 7:30 p.m.

Molly Vignovich paced the Mustang offense with a 3-for-3 night at the plate and she scored two runs. Abby Waddell and Kayla Jennings each went 3-for-4. Katie VandeWall cranked out a home run. Jennings scored two runs and had a stolen base.

Rachel Freland earned the pitching victory.

Lynnville-Sully 11, English Valleys 0 SULLY — It didn’t take long for the Class 1A seventh-ranked Lynnville-Sully Hawks to put the game out of reach of their visitors. The Hawks scored eight runs in the first inning on their way to a run-rule 11-0 win.

Madison Rasmusson and Maria Rasmusson combined for a two-hit shutout. The win went to Madison for two innings of work while Maria pitched the final three innings and had a strikeout.

With the win the Hawks stay undefeated (13-0) in the South Iowa Cedar League.

They are 21-2 overall. They host Keota Wednesday in conference action.

Makenzy Rozendaal struck for three singles in three at bats. Madison Rasmusson drove in three runs as she had a single and a home run. Lizzy Van Manen delivered a triple and a single.

Hitting a single each were Bayli Van Manen, Haley James, Brenna Lanser, Lysandra James and Kasiah Ehresman.

CMB 5, Gilbert 3 CMB 10, Gilbert 10 GILBERT — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter played a Heart of Iowa Conference doubleheader in Gilbert

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Colfax-Mingo’s Reis Wilson was a home run away from hitting for the cycle in the Tigerhawks’ 8-5 non-conference loss to Colo-NESCO Tuesday in Colfax. She had a single, double and a triple, and she pitched the complete game for Colfax-Mingo.

Tuesday coming away with two wins.

It was the home team in the opener, winning 5-3 behind the pitching of Abbey Kahler. The Raiders scored single runs in the first fourth and fifth innings and had a two-run third to build up a 5-0 lead. Gilbert scored three times in the sixth. Kahler allowed six hits, walked two and struck out five.

Virginia, Vanderbilt are set for winner-take-all CWS Game 3 OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — This scrappy Virginia team with patchwork pitching and a late-to-start offense finds itself one win away from its first national title.

The Cavaliers forced a winner-take-all Game 3 in the College World Series with its 3-0 victory over defending champion Vanderbilt on Tuesday night.

Game 2 showed nothing is impossible for a team that has overcome injuries and rough patches that nearly cost it a spot in the ACC tournament and relegated it to a No. 3 regional seed in the NCAA Tournament.

“This team’s earned the right to play another ballgame, and that’s how they

will treat it,” coach Brian O’Connor said. “I don’t think they’ll put any more into it than they have at this point. Certainly we’re going to have to play great baseball to beat a great Vanderbilt club. And they’ll just continue to go out there and play the best they can and hopefully in the end have a chance to win.”

For the second year in a row, Virginia (43-24) and Vandy (51-20) will go the distance in the best-of-three finals.

Virginia will start Brandon Waddell (4-5) on Wednesday night.

For Vanderbilt, Walker Buehler (5-2) would appear to be next in line to start, but coach Tim Corbin said he

was undecided on whether he would start the first-round draft pick.

Waddell combined with Josh Sborz to beat Florida twice in the CWS, the first time a shutout. Buehler pitched a strong 6 2/3 innings while beating TCU on Friday in his only appearance.

O’Connor said Sborz, who has worked 13 innings in Omaha and has three wins to show for it, is ruled out for Game 3.

As for Vanderbilt, Corbin said, “You get to this point in the tournament and everyone’s on go. With the exception of Carson (Fulmer). But you know, he’ll be fighting to grab the ball in a situation that’s worthy. I think the bullpen is all ready to go.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

It’s important that you connect with old friends. They remind you of who you were and teach you who you want to be. Make arrangements. There are many who want to see you again.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Because there is so much misinformation out there today, people you trust could accidentally lead you astray. Do your own research. A skeptical mind isn’t necessarily a negative mind.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Those younger than you have things

that weren’t available to you growing up. You’ll benefit from letting them teach you or from merely watching how they manage life’s problems.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Seize the chance to compete, because competition will bring out your best. Also, your high level of sportsmanship will bring out the best in your opponents. You’ll be good for the game.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ll be taking and giving recommendations. Maintain reasonable expectations. What works for other people won’t necessarily work for you, and what works for you won’t necessarily work for others.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

When your mind doesn’t have clarity, there’s another part of your body that does. Maybe it’s your heart. If not your heart, your feet. Let them lead you to where you’ll get peace.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). In your current adventurous mindset, you’re not necessarily seeking security.

Nonetheless, there’s someone in your life who loves you like a rock. You’ll take some comfort in this now.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Someone wants to connect with you but is not yet conscious of the real reason why. Therefore, the excuse to get together sounds completely contrived. That doesn’t mean it

won’t be fun.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

The name you give to things matters. Choose names to empower you or to make you feel playful or to create wonder.

Give people a mystery, and they’ll give you their curiosity.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

There will be time to learn more about your interest, to really get inside it. Passion grows with knowledge. The more you understand it the more it becomes a part of you.
