Fighting the pipeline

Anti-Bakken oil pipeline coalition files slue of objection letters with IUB DES MOINES — A coalition of grassroots organizers fighting the proposed development of the Dakota Access crude oil pipeline said they have delivered more than 2,650 formal objections letters to the Iowa Utilities Board.

The 1,134-mile oil pipeline proposed by Dakota Access, LLC — a subsidiary of Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners — would carry 570,000 barrels of crude oil per day underground through the state, connecting the North Dakota Bakken crude oil fields with a hub in Patoka, Ill., leading to gulf coast refineries.

Sentencing in Prairie City dog-mauling case set for Monday

AP Photo People opposing plans to build an oil pipeline across Iowa gather in Des Moines to submit written statements against the project on Thursday. A state board is expected to decide soon whether or not to approve the pipeline, which would transport crude oil daily from North Dakota through South Dakota and Iowa to a distribution center in Illinois.

Coalition gathered at the Iowa Utilities Board offices in Des Moines Thursday to deliver the correspondence. BPRC is comprised of 29 different organizations from across Iowa, and Coalition spokesperson Ahna Kruzic said each group helped collect letters from both affected landowners and concerned citizens.

“I think that this delivery of these objections symbolizes the diversity of the resistance to the pipeline, and Iowans of all walks of life are coming out against this,” Kruzic said. “I think we know if the proposed pipeline is constructed it will have environmental risks, justice risks and economic risks across the state.”

ing Thursday’s filing with an emailed statement claiming the pipeline company has collected signed easements for 60 percent of the tracts along the pipeline’s proposed Iowa route. Dakota Access originally released this figure in June — however, coalition members dispute its accuracy.

The Iowa Utilities Board released a tentative timeline last month with significant upcoming deadlines for the project. The statement includes times set aside for a final public hearing between Nov. 12 and Dec. 2. The timeline is contingent on the parties’ ability to meet the deadlines. Any public letter of intervention must be filed by July 27.

PIPELINE | 3A

Prairie City woman Jena M. Wright — who was convicted May 14 of child endangerment resulting death, a Class B felony — will return to the Jasper Wright County Courthouse Monday for sentencing and to address her motions for a new trial and new attorney.

The 26-year-old woman was also found guilty of neglect or abandonment of an independent, a Class C felony, in the 2013 dog-mauling incident involving 4-year-old Jordyn Arndt. Wright could be sentenced up to 35 years in prison.

Wright left Arndt unattended with an American Staffordshire terrier at 300 S. Marshall St. in Prairie City, April 22, 2013 while babysitting. The dog attacked the 4-year-old girl and caused injuries ultimately resulting in her death a day later.

Since the guilty verdict, the defendant filed motions for a new trial, in arrest of judgment and for a new attorney.

The pending motions will be addressed before sentencing.

In a letter to the judge

June 10, Wright said she was led to believe inaccurate information and impossible outcomes from her attorney T.J. Hier and the proper steps were not taken to ensure an adequate defense.

The motion for a new trial was made June 29.

The defense argued the state’s rebuttal witness testimony was improper and the defense should have been allowed to call canine expert Ron Berman back to the stand.

After the defense rested its case the morning of May 13, the state called a rebuttal witness to show the jury Wright had knowledge of the dog’s aggressiveness.

The witness said she was bitten by the canine in the defendant’s presence prior to April 22, 2013.

The defense attempted to use Berman — who previously testified on behalf of the defense and had already left Iowa — as a surrebuttal witness, but doing so would have delayed the trial.

The case had been in the system for nearly two years, plagued by multiple continuances, so Hier’s request to bring Berman back as a witness was denied by District Court Judge Richard Clogg.

Monday’s sentencing is scheduled for 9:30 a.m.

A measure that would significantly change the provisions of “No Child Left Behind” legislation has cleared the U.S. House and is now in the Senate.

No Child revision barely passes House, goes next to Senate

By Jennifer C. Kerr The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The focus is on the Senate as it considers a rewrite of the Bush-era No Child Left Behind education law, a day after the House narrowly passed a Republican-led measure that dramatically lessens the federal role in education policy.

The House bill, passed late Wednesday, gives states and local school districts more control over assessing the performance of schools, teachers and students. It also prohibits the federal government from requiring or encouraging specific sets of academic standards, such as Common Core, and allows federal money to follow low-income children to public schools of their choice.

The vote was 218-213, with no Democrats supporting the measure. Twenty-seven Republicans voted against the bill, sponsored

by Rep. John Kline (R-Minnesota).

Passage came five months after conservatives forced GOP leaders to pull a similar bill just before a scheduled vote. This time around, conservatives had indicated they would support the legislation if they had the chance to offer amendments.

Soon after the vote, Education

Secretary Arne Duncan said the bill fails to help struggling schools and the children they teach.

“House Republicans have chosen to take a bad bill and make it even worse,” Duncan said in a statement. “Instead of supporting the schools and educators that need it most, this bill shifts resources away from them.”

Rep. Dave Loebsack, the lone Iowa Democrat in the House, voted against the House version of the bill, while the state’s three Republican representatives voted in favor of it.

Teachers unions, who agree that No Child is outdated and unworkable, also found little to like.

“Its positive aspects are eclipsed by its abdication of the fundamental precept of the original federal ESEA law — targeting resources to schools with concentrations of disadvantaged students,” said Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, referring to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act. But the leader of the House, Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), said the Kline measure delivers much-needed education reform by replacing “top-down mandates with conservative reforms that empower the parents, teachers, and administrators at the heart of our education system.”

The House passed its legislation as the Senate rejected a proposal to turn federal aid for poor students over to the states, which could then let parents choose to spend the money in the public or private school they deem best for their child. The Senate vote was 52-45, short of a majority and 15 votes shy of the 60 votes required to advance legislation.

Under current law, the money goes to school districts and generally stays in schools in the neighborhoods where the children live.

Sen. Lamar Alexander, (R-Tenn.), said the proposed change would “solve inequality in America by giving children the opportunity to attend a better school.”

Sen. Patty Murray (D-Wash.), who co-sponsored the bill, countered that the change would “retreat on our fundamental commitment to make sure that every child has access to a quality education.”

Earlier in the House, some Republicans joined with Democrats to defeat a conservative-led attempt to let states completely opt out of No Child requirements without forfeiting federal money.

That vote was 235-195.

Much like the House bill, the Senate measure also would whittle away the federal government’s involvement in public schools.

The meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. Monday in the Emerson Hough building’s conference room. Prior to Monday’s meeting, a public board work session will take place at 5 p.m. The work session involves a statement of work from Robert Schwarz Planning and Associates, LLC. At its June 22 meeting, the board defeated a motion to hire the firm to do a comprehensive analysis of at a cost of more than $10,000.

The proposed work for Schwarz entails compiling and assembling a large variety of enrollment data, using city, county, economic, census, housing and school numbers, which will help the district redraw boundaries for its 2016-17 elementary reconfiguration into four K-4 schools.

In a work session, the public may attend, but there is no public forum, and the people directly involved with the session’s agenda should not interact with anyone else in the room. The main item on the agenda for Monday’s main meeting is a scheduled 6:45 p.m. public hearing on classroom technology purchases.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan said the governor’s recent line-item veto of a one-time school funding stipulation, which will erase what would have been about $329,000 for Newton Schools, will not impact the technology purchase, but might be felt in other ways, later in the 2015-16 school year.

The board will also set a date, presumably at its July 27 meeting, for a hearing on school bus camera system purchases. All Iowa school buses are required to have cameras.

The board will consider, as action items, feasibility studies with Michael’s Energy for an HVAC system upgrade and a temperature controls study for the Emerson Hough building. Emerson Hough is set to return to being a regular elementary school in the fall of 2016.

A consideration of a date change to the 2016 Newton High School graduation date is on the agenda as an action item. The graduation is currently scheduled for Sunday, May 29, 2016.

Approval of the Berg Middle School and Newton High School 2015-16 campus student handbooks and the consideration of forming a board policy review committee are also on Monday’s agenda. The board will also set its meeting dates through Sept. 14, when the next cycle of school board elections should be completed.

Callaghan will also present an update on the H.A. Lynn press box project, on 2015-16 registration and on NCSD administration. Callaghan’s contract renewal is up for approval as an action item at Monday’s meeting.

Callaghan and the board met Wednesday in a work session to discuss revisions to the superintendent’s goals for 2015-16. The two-hour work session was used to develop measurable outcomes related to review standards.

The board is set to meet in regular session on July 27.

That will be the first of a newly implemented half-hour work sessions to take place at 6 p.m. ahead of the final meeting of each month, and the July topic is special education.

council meeting, Lt. Rob Burdess, then the acting police chief, and Newton Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik gave a presentation on the program, which had passed its first two readings. The nationwide program hopes to bring a partnership between the city and rental property managers and owners.

“Our ultimate goal is to reduce crime and clean up these rental properties,” Burdess said.

The program will utilize three phases with the first being management training for property managers or owners. The curriculum includes crime prevention overview, application process/background checks, lease agreements and addendum, active property management, legal aspects, fire prevention and inspection, building inspections and overview of nuisance and rental codes.

Participation in the program is mandatory for all landlords and rental units.

Training will be required for all landlords with the first round of training intended for

those with the largest housing units. The training will be divided up for the landlords with more than 20 living units certified the first year, those Burdess with eight to 20 units certified within two years and all other landlords train and certified in three years.

“We’re not looking to charge landlords, tenants, anyone for the training. We will provide all of the paperwork and help pay for it by increasing the rental unit inspections by $20. It will help us do all of this and then not cost them for the training and any background checks,” police chief Jeff Hoebelheinrich said. The training will take approximately seven to eight hours.

The second phase includes surveys and inspection to help make property less prone to criminal activity, and to ensure safe living environment. The security survey will be done by the police department and will include lighting, locks, bushes, trees and visible address and/ or apartment numbers. The rental inspection will be done

by the fire department and go over fire and smoke alarms, fire extinguishers, escape routes and structural integrity.

Finally, the community awareness portion will provide tenants and community members with information at social gatherings at rental properties.

Also, pamphlets and flyers will be available with information about the program and the departments will give community-wide presentations at organizations such as Kiwanis and Rotary. Social media and the city’s website will also be utilized.

Concerns were raised by local landlords about the rise in costs for rental unit inspections. They also brought up training they have already received and questioned whether it is redundant to have to do additional training with the city.

The workshop hopes to bring all parties together to find a solution that works for all sides effected by the program. For more information about the program, contact the Newton Police Department at 641-791-0850.

“The process for any interested party to this docket, who wants to come into our office in person to file letters of objection or letters of support, can do so, just as CCI and the Bakken Coalition did today,” Tormey said.

Dan Gannon is an affected landowner near Mingo who has publicly opposed the development of the pipeline since

Dakota Access’ initial public meetings in late 2014. He also commented on Thursday’s letter delivery.

“My feelings go beyond eminent domain,” Gannon said in a written statement. “It goes back to our right to own property and raise our families without the interference of a private, out-of-state corporation.”

Information overload

By Kate Malott Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | July 10, 2015

Are you on your phone? Is it within five feet of you?

Many of us are attached to our cellphone. We’re attached to the medium of communication; we’re attached to being accessible; and we’re attached to an endless sea of information available at our fingertips. It’s amazing — and it’s awful.

I haven’t been sleeping well at night and it’s in part due to my phone. Going to bed is the one time of day I find myself searching for new information and the cellphone is convenient. We’re bombarded with an information overload all day, especially on social media, and some of us even at night.

Here are some random things I’ve learned this week from spending too much time on the Internet: • The Beatles recorded “Here Comes the Sun” on a summer day from 2:30 to 10:45 p.m. July 8, 1969.

• Two to three Americans die on average a year from bat rabies (CDC) and two to three athletes

per year die from exercise-associated hyponatremia, or over-hydration.

• Ames barbecue restaurant Hickory Park prepares up to 24,000 pounds of meat a week.

• Cardinal Corner sells two frozen yogurts: soft serve raspberry and hard serve Heath.

• Chuck E. Cheese pizza restaurants were created by the inventor of the Atari video game system, Nolan Bushnell.

• A 94-year-old former Auschwitz concentration camp Nazi is on trial in Germany this month for accessory to 300,000 counts of murder. If convicted, he faces three to 15 years in prison.

• The women’s World Cup final Sunday was the highest reached soccer game in United States history, reaching at least 22.86 million, according to TV Media Insights. Those figures are comparable to the 2014 World Series’ Game 7 with 23.5 million viewers.

• FIFA Congress has a representation of 200 countries. It paid its 2015 women’s World

Cup teams a total of $15 million whereas its 2014 men’s World Cup teams a total of $358 million.

• There are 1.147 billion landline telephones in the world and 6.915 billion cellphones, according to the New York Times.

• Wrigley Field organist Gary Pressy has played more than 2,300 consecutive games at the ballpark.

• According to the Surgical Technology International Journal, looking down at your phone or tablet is the equivalent of putting 60 pounds of weight on your spine, causing bodily harm over time.

• 2015 NBA Finals basketball stars, and arguably two of the best players in the game today, LeBron James and Stephen Curry, were born at the same hospital in the same town, Akron, Ohio.

• According to the CIA, the world population speaks the following languages: Mandarin Chinese 11.82 percent, Spanish 5.77 percent, English 4.67 percent, Hindi 3.62 percent, Arabic 3.3

percent, Portuguese 2.83 percent, Bengali 2.69 percent, Russian 2.33 percent, Japanese 1.7 percent, Javanese 1.15 percent and Standard German 1.09 percent.

This stimulation overload can’t be that good for us, but it is interesting.

We take in all this information but we need time to process, interpret and use it with some sort of purpose. Instead, we keep scrolling looking for more information — something new, more insightful, more entertaining or shocking.

I wonder what researchers think? When something even marvelous is discovered, half of society does not believe in its truth and the other half forgets what they have learned after 30 seconds. Or eight seconds.

I read our attention span and ability to focus has reduced over time to eight seconds. If you read this then congratulations — that’s practically a miracle. Now, go enjoy the outdoors.

The Uprising

Special legal rights for corporations

Letter to the Editor

Court’s decision should be overturned Wayne Lela Downers Grove, Ill. The recent controversial decision by a sharply divided (54) Supreme Court to concoct a Constitutional “right” to homosexual “marriage” won’t be the last word on the subject. The ideologically based, politically biased decision, which basically puts heterophobic homosexuals on the same level as normal heterosexuals, so flies in the face of reason that it will eventually be overturned by more intelligent, less biased judges.

Unfortunately our country is regressing in certain ways, morally speaking. The Supreme Court’s decision is symptomatic of that. The ancient and primitive Greek and Roman societies once valued homosexual activity, but people ultimately wised up and deprecated it. Plato, for example, wisely and logically opposed it as unethical. Would that some Supreme Court Justices were as wise as Plato on this subject.

As female minds in male bodies and male minds in female bodies are sure signs that something went wrong somewhere (in nature and/or nur-

ture), so homosexual minds in heterosexual bodies are also sure signs of mind/body mismatches, are sure signs of disorders. To put obvious disorders like homosexuality on a par with normal heterosexuality is clearly absurd. To equate homosexual “marriage” with heterosexual marriage is nonsensical.

Someday in the future people will look back at this regressive, inane decision and wonder “What were they thinking?” (or if they were thinking). In the meantime, it’s up to decent ethical people to work to overturn it. Let’s get started.

The Wisconsin governor not only cares, he wants to sit down with you, get your ideas and stay in close touch.

No matter who you are, Walker wants you to join his team, so his Jim Hightower presidency can be your presidency.

Not a Republican? No worries.

Walker doesn’t check your papers.

Well … except for that million-dollar check you have to write to his super PAC.

That’s the ticket price for entering Walker’s inner circle, where you can discuss your policy concerns and seek personal favor — straight from your lips to the candidate’s ear. Even if you’re a common working stiff, just give a million dollars and you’re in.

Is this a great country or what?

Maybe you’re wondering what, specifically, your money buys. Well, Scott’s super PAC even prints out a handy purchasing slip showing what you’ll get as an “Executive Board Member” of the campaign.

You’ll get two private dinners with the governor, a Walker staffer dedicated to your needs, special briefings and weekly emails, bi-monthly conference calls, bi-annual retreats and — best of all — an

“Exclusive Executive Board Pin.” Golly, I haven’t felt so included since the 1950s, when I became a member of “The Mickey Mouse Club” and got my own set of mouse ears.

When the Supreme Court descended into the Alice in Wonderland fantasy that corporations are people and money is speech, it was inevitable that American politics would devolve to a frivolous game that shuts out the workaday majority and enthrones a Koch-brothers plutocracy sustained by super PACs.

In promoting a proposed trade pact covering 12 Pacific Rim nations, President Obama has cast the initiative as an instrument of equity.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership would, in his words, By David Sirota “level the playing field” and “give our workers a fair shot.”

But critics argue that within the hundreds of pages of esoteric provisions, the deal — like similar ones before it — includes a glaring double standard: It provides legal rights to corporations and investors that it does not extend to unions, public interest groups and individuals.

Recently leaked drafts of the agreement show the pact includes the kind of Investor-State Dispute Settlement (ISDS) provisions written into most major trade deals passed since the North American Free Trade Agreement. Those provisions allow companies to use secretive international tribunals to sue sovereign governments for damages when those governments pass public-interest policies that threaten to cut into a corporation’s profits or seize a company’s property.

But also like past trade deals, the TPP is not expected to allow unions and public-interest groups to bring their own suits in the same tribunals to compel governments to enforce labor, environmental and human rights laws.

The discrepancy is a deliberate effort to make sure trade policy includes a “tilt toward giant corporations,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., said.

“If a Vietnamese company with U.S. operations wanted to challenge an increase in the U.S. minimum wage, it could use ISDS,” Warren wrote in a Washington Post op-

ed in February. “But if an American labor union believed Vietnam was allowing Vietnamese companies to pay slave wages in violation of trade commitments, the union would have to make its case in the Vietnamese courts.”

The Obama administration argues that concerns from TPP opponents are exaggerated because to date the federal government has “never once lost an ISDS case.”

But those opponents counter by noting that those cases are on the rise across the globe. As the United Nations reported recently, ISDS cases “have proliferated in the past 10-15 years, with the overall number of known treaty-based arbitrations reaching 514.”

While trade deals include rhetoric saying the international tribunal process is not designed to undermine public interest policies, some of the cases brought by corporations have directly targeted those laws.

Philip Morris, for example, has filed suits against Australia and Uruguay, which require health warnings on tobacco products. In the ISDS process, Philip Morris is arguing that the requirements expropriate its property, deny the company fair treatment and unduly cut into its profits.

Similarly, a Swedish energy firm has used ISDS to target Germany’s restrictions on coal-fired and nuclear power plants, and Eli Lilly and Company is using the process to try to fight Canada’s efforts to limit drug patents and reduce the price of medicine. Most recently, Canadian Finance Minister Joe Oliver said bank regulations passed in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis could be a violation of trade provisions under NAFTA, raising the prospect of banks using the tribunal process to try to get the federal government to eliminate those regulations.

FSA reminds of acreage reporting deadline Newton Daily News Jasper County USDA Farm Service Agency Executive Director Katie Kramer reminds producers of the Wednesday, acreage reporting deadline for spring planted crops and CRP acreage.

“In order to comply with FSA program eligibility requirements and avoid late file fees, all producers are encouraged to visit the Jasper County FSA office to file an accurate, timely crop certification report,” Kramer said.

The following exceptions apply to the above acreage reporting dates: If the crop has not been plant-

ed by the acreage reporting date, then the acreage must be reported no later than 15 calendar days after planting is completed.

If a producer acquires additional acreage after the acreage reporting date, then the acreage must be reported no later than 30 calendars days after purchase or acquiring the lease. Appropriate documentation must be provided to the county office.

If a perennial forage crop is reported with the intended use of “cover only,” “green manure,” “left standing,” or “seed” then the acreage must be reported by Wednesday.

According to Kramer, filing timely acreage certifications with

FSA establishes eligibility for programs including: Marketing Assistance Loans, Loan Deficiency Payments Conservation Reserve Program, Agriculture Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage, Noninsured Crop Disaster Assistance Program and others.

For NAP policy holders, the acreage reporting date for NAP covered crops is the earlier of the dates listed above or 15 calendar days before grazing or harvesting of the crop begins.

For questions regarding crop certification and crop loss reports, please contact the Jasper County FSA office at 641-7925019.

Mom regrets she has stayed in abusive marriage too long DEAR ABBY: How do I forgive myself for staying with my husband “for the sake of the kids” and because I was afraid of him? Our children are teenagers now and both suffer from low self-esteem and depression. We lived far away from any family while they were growing up, and I was financially dependent and scared. I realize now that it wasn’t the right thing to do.

My husband is trying to do better, but the damage is done. The relationship between our children and their dad is very strained. I don’t know how to move forward. Any advice? — IN PAIN IN WISCONSIN DEAR IN PAIN: A way for your children to heal some of the damage your husband has caused would be for you to arrange for them to talk with a licensed family counselor.

A way for you to move forward would be to find a job, take your kids and live apart from your abuser. If you haven’t already done that, and you are still afraid he might be violent, then you should contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline (thehotline. org, 800-799-7233) and ask for help in formulating an escape plan.

DEAR ABBY: Because I’m unemployed, I am currently living with my parents. I am 40, but my mother treats me as if I am an 8-year-old boy.

Among other things, she forbids me to leave the house without her permission and considers my room to be a mess she must clean if even a single book is out of place on my desk.

I believe my mother has obsessive-compulsive disorder. I have told her this and recommended she get herself evaluated. She refuses to listen, even after I gave her a month’s worth of examples illustrating which of her actions meet the criteria.

I want to remain sane as I try to find employment and a way out of her house. Have you any suggestions? — GOING MAD IN SOUTH DAKOTA DEAR GOING MAD: As an adult, you should not have to ask anyone’s permission to leave the house. It’s

time for a man-to-man talk with your father. What does HE think of this?

Has your mother always been this way?

While you’re talking with him, bring up the fact that she is showing signs of OCD and see if he can convince her to be evaluated. If she does have it, there are treatments for it and it might greatly benefit their marriage, as well as your relationship with your mother.

DEAR ABBY: My two sons are 30 and 31. Both are married with families of their own. My husband has been their stepdad for 20 years, and a very good one.

Neither of my boys ever remembers their stepdad on his birthday. When I ask why, they say, “Oh, Mom, I’m really bad at remembering stuff like that.”

Well, this year I intend to “forget” THEIR birthdays so they — and their wives — will know how it feels to be forgotten.

Do you think I’m being petty? I think that at their ages, it’s time they took responsibility for themselves. — ON THEIR CASE IN OKLAHOMA DEAR ON THEIR CASE: I have a better idea. Ask your sons to program your husband’s birthday into their electronic devices. With today’s technology it is easier than ever to get a reminder about important events. Their wives might thank you for it, because if the “boys” forget their stepdad’s birthday, there’s a good chance they forget other important days — like their anniversaries or their wives’ birthdays, too.

chase into Minnesota

OSAGE — Police say an Iowa man has been arrested after leading authorities on a car chase into Minnesota that reached speeds of up to 130 mph.

The Osage Police Department says 24-year-old Brandon Anderson, of St. Ansgar, was arrested after he failed to follow instructions for a traffic stop Tuesday night in Mitchell County in northern Iowa. Anderson is accused of leading officers on a high-speed chase that went into Mower County in nearby Minnesota.

2 Bettendorf officials question

bridge’s design, construction

BETTENDORF — Bettendorf officials are questioning a footbridge’s design and construction after a storm this week sent the structure’s top 30,000-pound concrete layer into Crow Creek, forcing the city to close a part of the trail. Davenport-based company Townsend Engineering was hired by the city of Bettendorf to design the 16-foot-wide, 40-foot-long bridge, which opened to pedestrians in 2013.

DES MOINES — A federal judge says two men may proceed with the lawsuit they filed after more than $100,000 was seized from them by two Iowa State troopers. The judge rejected a dismissal motion by the troopers and Desert Snow, a company that trains officers on roadside searches. The judge said in his ruling Wednesday that the allegations are sufficient for a claim to move forward that the troopers and Desert Snow acted as part of a conspiracy to violate the rights of William Davis and John Newmerzhycky.

Prairie City finds spirit in lawn care

By Alex Olp Prairie City News Prairie City residents can now win money by simply displaying a beautiful lawn in front of their homes thanks to the Prairie City Business Association’s new competition — Spirit of Prairie City awards.

The PCBA already hosts a Christmas light contest each winter, which rewards residents for putting up the best holiday displays.

PCBA treasurer Katherine McClure said this new contest is very similar to that as it also rewards residents for taking pride in their homes. Each week, the PCBA is ready to give away $100 to a nominated homeowner who displays great yard care, garden care and beautiful landscaping.

“The Christmas light competition and the Spirit of Prairie City is our way of encouraging people to treat Prairie City as the place where they live their life and they want to invest their time, their energy and their resources,” McClure said.

The weekly competition is only scheduled to be available through July, but McClure said it might be extended this summer.

Alex Olp/Prairie City News Prairie City residents Kevin and Eileen Tesch received $100 Monday after winning a Spirit of Prairie City award with their lawn decoration.

Tesch were announced Monday as the first winners of Spirit of Prairie City, but there is still plenty of time left to nominate a neighbor who shows pride in their lawn. A new winner will be announced each week.

“We definitely want people to bring in their nominations in July,” McClure said.

Having a beautiful lawn or garden is one way to earn the $100, but the PCBA wants to reward people for putting the hard work in as well.

“We’re also interested in most improved,” McClure said. “If someone has done a ton of work, even if they’re not a long-time established garden, we would be very interested in awarding them.”

Nominations are due by 4 p.m. each Tuesday and weekly winners are decided the following Sundays after the judging of each home. Residents can send their nominations to PCBAiowa@gmail.com.

The point of the Spirit of Prairie City awards is to build pride within

the community — which used to be a small town where people not only lived, but worked.

“Our town has transitioned into a bedroom community where people live, but they work in Pella or they work in Newton, or Des Moines.

And very often that means they’re also shopping and living in those other communities,” McClure said. “For us here, we want to help encourage people to identify Prairie City as their home and as a place they want to take pride in.”

PCBA has been a part of Prairie City for many decades, and it was the first thing McClure joined when her family moved to the community five years ago.

The association helps promote local businesses with online and print advertisements, and it also sponsors community celebrations such as Prairie Days, Spring Fling and Winterfest.

PCBA has its hand in the future as well by offering scholarships to graduating high schoolers who have interest in business, McClure said.

Court won’t overturn ruling that cleared ex-Iowa State guard The Associated Press AMES — A ruling that found Iowa State University administrators improperly removed a men’s basketball player from the team for alleged sexual misconduct will stand, an appeals court ruled Thursday.

The Iowa Court of Appeals dismissed an appeal filed by the university’s governing board, which argued the discipline against former Cyclone guard Bubu Palo was appropriate for his actions toward a female student in 2012.

The decision leaves in place last year’s ruling

by District Judge Steven Oeth, who threw out the university’s sanctions against Palo and questioned the accuser’s credibility. The judge said ISU President Steven Leath had kicked Palo off the team and imposed other disciplinary sanctions despite no clear evidence that the sex was nonconsensual.

The school’s appeal had been backed by national groups representing rape victims and college deans, who saw the case as a test of whether universities can enforce strict sexual misconduct policies amid increased attention to rape on campuses. Those policies include an affirmative consent standard for sex that school officials accused Palo of violating, a higher standard than criminal laws governing sexual assault. In a friend-of-thecourt brief, the groups argued that Oeth’s ruling “amounted to a substitution of criminal law standards for ISU’s own policies.”

In a 3-0 ruling, the appeals court didn’t address the substantive arguments, ruling instead that the appeal was moot given that Palo had graduated and exhausted his athletic eligibility.

The Iowa Board of Regents, the school’s governing body, is reviewing the decision and considering its options, one of which would be to ask the Iowa Supreme Court for further review, a spokesman said.

Palo’s attorney didn’t immediately return a message.

Palo and a friend were charged with sexual assault after a female student told police that they took turns raping her in an off-campus residence in May 2012. Palo maintains his innocence, arguing that the sex was consensual.

Submitted Photo MAT Tumbling and Trampoline athletes recently participated in the Newton Fourth of July Parade. Following the parade, the MAT families and staff set up a 60 foot elevated rod floor and two rolls of carpeted foam for the athletes to perform a demonstration. The tumblers performed for almost 45 minutes for a large crowd that had gathered following the parade. Nearly 25 team and recreational athletes performed for the crowd and displayed rolls, cartwheels, back handsprings, back flips and back twisting flips. The younger athletes also demonstrated tumbling progressions using the different shapes such as the wedge and octagon. Many of the athletes in attendance were part of the team that brought home the title of Top Overall Tumbling Team in the Nation.

further than that. Recent investigation into the Jasper County Fair shows that the first fairs were held in the 1850s and was a full out all family member competition for everything from fruits and vegetables to horse racing and pigs.

This year, the focus is on the family members who like to bake, garden, paint, craft, photograph, needlework, sew, quilt, lego, farm display and grow corn stalks.

Artist of all ages

First chapter of new Harper Lee novel is previewed NEW YORK (AP) — We know this much so far about Harper Lee’s new book: Atticus Finch is 72 and suffering from rheumatoid arthritis; Scout is a grown woman who has a suitor most anxious to marry her.

And Scout’s older brother, Jem, apparently has died.

“Go Set a Watchman” begins with Scout, otherwise known as Jean Louise Finch, returning by train to Lee’s legendary Maycomb, Alabama, on one of several annual visits she makes from New York, where she is greeted by young Henry Clinton. The first chapter ran in Friday’s editions of The Wall Street Journal and The Guardian.

“Go Set a Watchman,” the most unexpected second novel in memory, is coming out July 14. It takes place in the 1950s, 20 years after the setting for “To Kill a Mockingbird,” Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book. U.S. publisher HarperCollins has said that pre-orders for “Go Set a Watchman” are the highest in company history and bookstores worldwide are planning events to celebrate the book’s release.

Anticipation and apprehension have surrounded news of “Watchman” since it was announced in February. The surprise and ecstasy of a new work from Lee have been shadowed by suspicions the book doesn’t measure up to “Mockingbird” and was approved without the 89-year-old author’s full awareness.

Lee has poor hearing and vision and resides in an assisted living facility in her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama. But her lawyer Tonja Carter; literary agent Andrew Nurnberg; and publisher have insisted she is delighted the book is coming out. State officials, responding to at least one complaint of possible elder abuse, determined she was alert and capable of deciding on the release of “Watchman.”

“To Kill a Mockingbird,” published in 1960, is set in the 1930s in the fictional town of Maycomb and introduced Atticus Finch, Scout, Boo Radley and other beloved literary characters. The book was adapted into an Oscar-winning movie starring Gregory Peck as Atticus and has become standard reading in schools and other reading programs, with worldwide sales topping 40 million copies.

In the years that followed “Mockingbird,” Lee struggled to write a second book and eventually determined that the one novel could stand on its own, apparently never considering “Watchman” a possible successor. She has not spoken to the media in decades and her absence from any promotion for “Watchman” marks a rare time that such a high-profile work is being released without the participation of a living author.

Much of Friday’s excerpt touches upon the landscape and history of the Maycomb region and the banter between Clinton and Scout, who playfully resists his marriage proposals.

Submitted Photo Newton students participated in Summer Group Art Classes with Karen King Tuesday to Friday this week. The group did a variety of art projects throughout the four-day series. Back row: Andrew Wiles, David Holmes and Kelly Holmes. Front row: Brandon Holmes and Wyatt Archibald.

Newton Community Theatre to host Children’s Workshop The Newton Community Theatre’s will host its Childrens Workshop, an evening of Rhymes, Tales and Fables at 7 p.m. Friday at the theatre, located at 1701 S. Eighth Ave. E. Under the direction of Melinda Worthington, there are 25 children participating ranging from kindergarden to fourth grade. The plays presented will be “Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat, How The Camel Got His Hump” and “Snow White.”

Tickets are $5 for general admission and can be purchased at the door.

US stocks open higher, Greece close to a deal NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are posting solid gains in early trading as Greece moves closer to sealing a deal for new loans from its creditors.

The Dow Jones industrial average gained 212 points, or 1.2 percent, to

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index increased 23 points, or 1.1 percent, to 2,074 and the Nasdaq composite climbed 56 points, or 1.2 percent, to 4,979.

The gains were broad.

Cardinals break through to second round of playoffs

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High junior Fran Lucas smiles getting a quick congratulations from Cardinal head coach Kristina McNew as she rounds third base after hitting a two-run home run Thursday. Lucas’ first career home run put the Cardinals up 6-0 over Des Moines Hoover in a 4A regional softball game and Newton won by that score.

Youth football camp starts Monday Newton Daily News A a three-day football camp for boys in third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades begins Monday at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

The Newton Youth Football Camp is $25 per camper or $40 for two or more boys from the same family.

It is a non-contact skills camp conducted by Newton High head football coach Ed Ergenbright along with present and past Cardinal varsity players.

Boys can register at the door on Monday, 15 minutes prior to their respective camp session. Participants should report to the NHS varsity locker room on the south end of the football stadium.

There are two age-group sessions per day.

Boys entering third or fourth grade this fall will be in the first session each day from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m.

The second session is from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. for boys entering fifth and sixth grade this fall.

For more information, contact Ergenbright at 641-521-2460.

Cardinal lineman, defensive back camp is July 20-22 Newton Daily News The 2015 Newton Cardinal lineman, defensive back camp for boys entering the seventh grade through high school this fall is slated for July 20-22 at H.A. Lynn Stadium. Sessions are from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.

It is a skill and technique camp for offensive and defensive linemen and for defensive backs. Newton High head coach Ed Ergenbright and members of the current NHS football staff will instruct campers.

Players should wear shorts, T-shirt and football shoes. This is a non-padded camp. Players hold report to the stadium locker room when arriving for camp.

Water will be provided to the players.

For more information, contact Ergenbright at 641-521-2460.

Fran Lucas is not a power hitter. Newton High’s junior second baseman admitted Thursday night, she just took a regular swing.

That regular swing put the exclamation point on a 6-0 victory for the Cardinals in Class 4A Region 7 opening round play. Lucas launched the softball down the third-base line and the ball skimmed over the left-field fence.

“That’s my first home run,” Lucas said following the Cardinals win over visiting Des Moines Hoover (12-18) to advance to the Region 7 semifinals Saturday.

“It was a regular swing.

I was trying to put the ball in play.”

Newton (16-16) plays Class 4A seventh-ranked Norwalk (28-8) at 7 p.m. at Norwalk Saturday.

The two teams played in Little Hawkeye Conference action in June with Newton losing 3-1.

In the other quarterfinal Thursday, Ballard defeated Grinnell, 111. Ballard plays at No. 3 Winterset Saturday in the semifinal. The Region 7 championship game is 7 p.m. Tuesday at Winterset.

Lucas’ 185-foot, two-run shot came with freshman catcher Emily Valtman aboard. Valtman, who got her first varsity start behind the

plate, reached on an error to open the innings.

There were two gone when Lucas connected.

Eighth-grade pitcher Peyton Maher was in command from the circle from the beginning.

Maher allowed two singles — both by her counterpart for the Huskies, freshman pitcher Hannah Blackford — in seven innings of work. She hit a batter to open the game and struck out five.

“Tonight, we put everything forward,” said Kristina McNew, Newton head coach.

“I told them before the game it was do or die, and let’s do everything we’ve been stressing all season long.

The girls got the hits, played defense and P.J. (Maher) pitched a great game.”

Hoover’s Huskies were playing on Newton’s field, but were the home team on the scoreboard. It didn’t matter to the Cardinals.

“It didn’t bother us being the visitors tonight. We’ve practiced all week and were focused to get ready for this game,” Lucas said.

“We were determined to win because we want to go to state. We put the ball in play and played good defense.”

The Cardinals racked up 10 hits off the Huskies’ pitcher. They scored a run in the first CARDINALS | 2B

Coach-pitch baseball on hot Kansas night On a hot Kansas evening, I was reminded of the pure joy of watching a 5-year-old play baseball.

My great n e p h e w, Jaxson, lives in Georgia, but he and his sister Emme have been spending several weeks of the By Jocelyn summer in Sheets Kansas at Newton Daily their grandNews parents.

Sports Editor Being home on vacation last week, my dad, my sister and I went to Jaxson’s coach-pitch/T-ball game.

Players get four pitches from a coach to hit. If they don’t hit the ball, they get

to hit a ball off a tee.

A couple other rules, for this league anyway, are everybody bats — twice — and the game is over, hitters run to second base no matter what, fielders throw the ball to second base unless it is the final batter then the ball is thrown to home, and everybody slides at home plate.

Jaxson is a whirling dervish of energy on the field.

There’s the ever popular playing in the dirt while an opposing batter tries to hit the ball. What about “hey, my teammate is going around in circles over there.

I can do that better right here.”

When the ball was hit or thrown to the outfield, Jaxson took off running along with several teammates. It

was a race — and sometimes a battle — to see who would get to the ball first.

He does throw pretty well for his age and experience.

Jaxson is a lefty.

I watched him hug one of his coaches in the outfield. He stood with his left arm straight up like he was expecting the batter to hit the ball right at him and the ball to settle in his glove. Jaxson’s a talker on the field too. He talks to teammates, coaches and opponents. That was all in the first inning.

Jaxson’s team was up to bat. Grandma Sheets — my sister-in-law — tells us with pride, “Jaxson can hit the ball and loves to slide.”

She was right. Jaxson was on of the few hitters in the game to connect on

a pitch from his coach. He did it twice that night.

Jaxson slides head first into home plate with dust billowing up around him.

Reminded me of the Peanuts character Pigpen.

He looks up from the dust pile and smiles.

It was well worth the hot temperatures in the Kansas sun.

Speaking of baseball, I must mention my Kansas City Royals. Four American League All-Star starters, although Alex Gordon is now injured, and two more named to the All-Star squad.

Oh, yeah, the AL All-Star manager is Ned Yost.

Love those Royals.

Williams routs Sharapova LONDON (AP) — Her game in high gear, history in the offing, Serena Williams is perfectly content to let everyone else talk about what a victory in the Wimbledon final would mean.

A “Serena Slam” of four consecutive major titles. The third leg of a calendar-year Grand Slam. A 21st major singles trophy, one short of the Open-era record.

For now, the No. 1-seeded Williams is keeping her thoughts to herself, declaring she won’t entertain questions about those topics, even after easily dismissing No. 4 Maria Sharapova 6-2, 6-4 in the semifinals at the All England Club on Thursday to close in on the milestones.

Williams hit 13 aces, reaching 123 mph. Fewer than half her serves were put in play. She never faced a break point, and was pushed to deuce just once on her serve. She had a 29-9 edge in winners.

On Saturday, with so much at stake, Williams will face No. 20 Garbine Muguruza of Spain, who advanced to her first Grand Slam final by eliminating No. 13 Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland 6-2, 3-6, 6-3.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B inning and three more in the third for a 4-0 lead.

Junior shortstop Sydney Jenkins opened the game with an infield single followed by a one-out base hit by sophomore first baseman Taylor Ryan. Maher’s base hit to center field drove in the first run.

Maher, who has been Newton’s main pitcher all season, hit Hoover’s leadoff batter in the first. Sophomore third baseman Audrey Lucas snared a Husky bunt in the air for the first out.

Hannah Blackford singled to left, but Maher struck out the next two batters to end the inning.

“A lot of my pitches were working well tonight. The pitches were moving a lot and that made them (the Huskies) pop up a lot,” Maher said after the game.

“Emily did a great job catching tonight. We know we can go out and win as long as we put in 100 percent into our practices and our games.”

Maher improved to 12-11 pitching for the Cardinals.

She and fellow eighth-grader Anna Coyle were Newton’s top pitchers, but Coyle has been sidelined with a shoulder injury since June 12.

Mustangs topple Eagles

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PELLA — Prairie City-Monroe’s Mustangs head into the baseball postseason on a two-game win streak. The Mustangs held off host Pella Christian Thursday for a 3-2 non-conference win.

PCM (8-16) plays a Class 2A District 11 quarterfinal game Saturday against Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont.

Spieth stumbles in first round of John Deere Classic SILVIS, Ill. (AP) — For every good shot Jordan Spieth hit, a bad one seemed to follow.

Spieth’s struggles left him eight shots back after the first round of his final British Open tuneup.

Justin Thomas and Nicholas Thompson each shot an 8-under-par 63 to share the lead at the John Deere Classic on Thursday. Spieth was at even-par 71 in his first round since winning the U.S Open.

Spieth, who will go for his third straight major title next week at St. Andrews, had three

bogeys in a four-hole stretch and missed a 15-foot birdie putt on No. 18.

“Just a rusty round,” said Spieth, who skipped last week’s Greenbrier Classic. “I didn’t get out on the golf course like maybe I should have.”

Thomas and Thompson were a stroke ahead of Charles Howell III and Luke Guthrie.

Three-time tournament winner Steve Stricker led the list of golfers at 6 under.

Spieth is one of just five golfers in the current top 20 of the Fed Ex Cup standings to play in the Quad Cities.

New said Leiker turned her ankle in practice this week, so Valtman moved into the catcher spot for Thursday’s

game. McNew said Leiker could be back for Saturday’s contest.

Newton put three insurance runs on the scoreboard in the third inning. Maher reached on an error. With Liz McVey running for Maher, Audrey Lucas singled to right field. Another Husky error allowed Valtman load the bases.

Back-to-back ground outs by sophomore left fielder Bailey Davis and junior center fielder Kari Adams forced in runs. Fran Lucas connected for an RBI single.

Maher and Newton’s defense recorded five 1-2-3 innings against Hoover. Adams made a diving catch in center in the third and Davis ran down a fly ball in the left field corner in the sixth to rob Hoover of hits.

The Huskies had a leadoff infield hit by Hannah Blackford in the fourth. After that, the Cardinals set down the final 12 Hoover batters in the game.

It’s the first time in three years for the Cardinals to advance into the second round of the 4A playoffs. In 2013, Newton lost to Hoover 2-1 in the first round and dropped a 6-0 decision to Saydel in 2014. In 2012, the Cardinals made it to the third round losing to Dallas Center-Grimes.

There’s a time for dreaming of “if” and “when.” Without those dreams our most cherished versions of the future wouldn’t have a chance. But just for today, push the “if” and “when” off to the side. When the thought comes up, ignore it. The Taurus moon favors the mindset of dealing strictly with the realities before us.

This month brings so many profound happenings that you should definitely keep track!

Capricorn and Virgo adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 45, 12, 14, 8 and 16.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Warrior spirit that you are, even when you’re not in the battle it’s often raging in your periphery. Though tempted to choose a side, you don’t have to. You have the option of continuing to stay out of it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your self-esteem is on the rise and you’ve earned new reasons to be sure of yourself. Enjoy this period of high confidence

while it lasts. And when it dips, it only means that you’re ready to learn something new.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The Chinese proverb says, “A man dies and leaves a name; a tiger dies and leaves a skin.”

Today you’ll add value to your name, making sure that it’s associated with generosity and integrity.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Large groups move too slowly to accomplish what you think needs to be done in the time you’d like to see it accomplished. The only way to keep it within your timeframe is to work with a handful of purposeful individuals.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re

not in the mood to stick to the outline, stay with the plan and keep within the budget -- and yet your reputation depends on it. Encourage praise and support from your team. It makes compliance easier for you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

What is your love thinking? If you ask, you’ll blow the illusion that you’re so in tune that you needn’t inquire. Plus, you won’t get a straight answer. Instead of asking, just guess and you’ll probably be right.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’re emotionally transparent.

How you feel about a person will color every nuance of your interactions. If you are trying to keep it a secret that you love or dislike someone, don’t be

around that person today.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’ll navigate through odd characters and circumstances.

Keep communication simple.

Double-check to be sure you’re making yourself clear. Ask for a response that proves your message has been received.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ve been teaching through example, perhaps unknowingly. Imitation is flattery.

When someone copies you, your eyes will be opened to the very real influence you have.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The goal of business is to make money. It’s something to keep in mind during today’s transactions. Sometimes it’s

appropriate to fulfill personal goals over business goals. Just don’t confuse the two.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Don’t ask for whom the bell, chirp, ping and alert tolls. It’s coming from your technology and it definitely tolls for you.

Of course, you could always turn it off and give your full attention to the one who loves you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The right solution for you is an idiosyncratic mix of strategies based on your habits, talents, needs, preferences and unique qualities. Recalibrate your workflow.
