Trial date set in sex abuse case Fults to stand trial in October Newton Daily News A trial date has been set for a Newton man accused of sexual abuse.

Jerry E. Fults, 35, was charged with third-degree sexual abuse by Newton Police on Dec. 31 of last year.

He pleaded not guilty and demanded a speedy trial, originally scheduled to begin in late March, but it was postponed.

The trial is now scheduled to begin Oct. 12 at the Jasper County Courthouse.

The investigation into the Fults alleged abuse began in September 2015.

The mother of the victim said she walked in on Fults making inappropriate contact with the victim. The victim later named several instances in which Fults had inappropriate contact with her, according to a police report.

Fults told police his lawyer advised him not to speak with authorities.

Baxter school board tables CMB discussion

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News BAXTER — Due to the Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter varsity baseball team participating in its first ever state tournament game Monday, the Baxter School Board meeting that took place the same night went without any discussion regarding the fate of the CMB sports partnership.

Superintendent Todd Martin recommended removing the CMB report from the agenda at the beginning of the meeting out of respect for the players.

“We want to make sure we honor what’s happening down there,” Martin said. “We don’t want to overshadow that as well as making sure we have opportunity for any parents who want to participate in that (CMB) conversation.”

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Council members Evelyn George, Steve Mullan and Lin Chapé discuss future plans for economic development in the city at Monday night’s Newton City Council workshop. Hotel Maytag, development around I-80 exit 168 and a potential airport advisory board were among the topics.

Council outlines economic development priorities Hotel Maytag project, airport board discussed

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Newton City Council took up several topics at a special workshop on Monday.

Topics discussed by council, along with Mayor Mike Hansen and city staff, included priorities in economic development and housing, a potential airport advisory board and the process of retaining a consultant for the search of a new city administrator.

Priorities in economic development and housing Hansen opened up the study session discussing the progress at Hotel Maytag and work with the Frantz Company Investors.

“One of the main concerns at this point in time is Hotel Maytag. We continue to work with the developers, Frantz, and the group that he has assembled to continue

to identify and close the financing gap,” Hansen said. “The latest item in that is we have given that group, through our economic development team, a deadline, that they need to bring to us.”

The deadline is for providing information about financial gaps that hinder the project, what the city may be able to do to help the company and what Frantz is going to do in order to move the project forward.

“We have identified that project as an important piece of our Main Street district and an important piece of starting our remodel, rehabilitation of the downtown historic district,” Hansen said.

Councilwoman Lin Chapé voiced her approval for setting a deadline, and followed up by asking for further information on what happens if the deadline is not met.

“I strongly believe that this is the kickstart to our downtown area

and I am getting citizen feedback in that regard,” Chapé said.

Hansen also spoke to the council about work that is happening throughout the city, including at both Interstate 80 exits; he said city and development officials cannot fully comment on such work.

“We are talking to three different prospects (for exit 168), none of which want their names or what they may be doing disclosed at this time, and we respect that,” Hansen said.

He explained that by not disclosing all of the information on projects, the city is able to continue working with interested parties and protect potential deals and confidentiality agreements. Doing so can be essential to gaining trust with prospective companies and eventually signing contracts for business.

Newton to host upcoming farmland leasing meeting

Obama has GMO labeling bill on his desk File Photo Some Jasper County-produced food might soon bear a different label, thanks to a nationalized GMO labeling standard recently approved by Congress. The bill is on President Barack Obama’s desk.

Iowa State University Extension and Outreach is conducting farmland leasing meetings across 12 different county sites including Jasper County. The farmland leading meeting will be from 7 to 10 p.m.

Aug. 1 at Newton DMACC campus, 600 N. Second Ave. W. Discussion at these meetings will focus on various methods to determine a fair cash rental rate and the importance of tenant/landlord communications.

According the Cash Rental Rates for Iowa — 2016 Survey released in early May, the average 2016 cash rent statewide declined by an average of 6.5 percent as compared to 2015. The drop is due to lower crop prices impacting farm tenant profitability. Average cash rents have declined for 3 consecutive years and is currently nearly 15 percent below the 2013 high.

Registration is required at least two days before the meeting and a $20 per individual or $30 per couple fee is payable at the door. Participants will receive a 100-page booklet and meeting handouts designed to assist landowners, tenants and other agri-business professionals with issues related to farmland ownership, management and leasing arrangements.

Register by email or phone on or before July 28. For information, contact Tammy Welcher at welcher@iastate.edu or 641-792-6433.

Iowa Corn Growers, Soybean Association support bill

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Anytime both corn and soybean industry leaders are happy with all six members of Iowa’s Congressional delegation, there is a cause for celebration.

If President Obama decides to sign the National Sea Grant College Program Act, that’s even more reason for those groups to celebrate. He had not announced a decision on the bill as of Monday.

A provision in the bill calls for a compromise on GMO labeling that not only allows producers to avoid placing technical or widely disputed statements on products, it also establishes an important nationwide standard.

This helps avert the “patchwork quilt” path made possible with a new Vermont labeling law that went into effect July 1, as each state, potentially, could have ended up creating a different GMO labeling guideline.

Iowa Corn Growers Association President Bob Hemesath praised Iowa’s six members of Congress for voting in favor of the bill.

“On behalf of the ICGA, I would like to thank Congress, especially the entire Iowa delegation (both House and Senate), for their support in the passage

of the GMO labeling agreement,” Hemesath said. “Vermont’s labeling law will hinder interstate commerce, severely disrupt the U.S. farm and food industry, and raise food prices.”

All four House Representatives from Iowa voted with the majority in the 306-117 final House vote on July 14, including Rep. Dave Loebsack, the lone Iowa Democrat in Congress. Both senators from Iowa, Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst, voted in favor of the final Senate version of the bill, which passed by a 63-30 margin.

Hemesath said the bipartisan legislation provides clarity to consumers about genetically modified food ingredients and a workable standard for food manufacturers to implement.

Companies must disclose GMO ingredients, but are provided the flexibility to do so through several options, including text on package, a symbol, a QR code or an electronic link to a website.

Most importantly, he said, it makes clear that the label or text used on the packaging cannot be used to disparage biotechnology, which would likely have occurred under the Vermont GMO labeling law. The Vermont law that went into effect July 1 is already impacting

a number of companies, who are either changing their labels to meet this state’s standards or have suspended shipping products to the state altogether.

Iowa Soybean Association President Wayne Fredericks and a small contingent of ISA leadership were actually in Washington, D.C. and were on Capitol Hill on the day the House took its vote. Those leaders discussed GMO labeling and the Trans-Pacific Partnership with all six members of Congress representing Iowa on July 13.

In a prepared statement, the ISA pointed out the compromise includes some major concessions by the corn and soybean industries.

“While not agriculture’s first choice, the bill is a positive step for GMO labeling and will avoid the costly implications of a patchwork of state policies,” the statement reads.

According to the USDA’s National Agricultural Statistic Service, 93 percent of Iowa’s 2015 corn crop was genetically modified. Nearly 2,000 studies have been conducted on GMO products, including one by the National Academy of Sciences.

Iowa Corn members as well as directors of the Iowa Corn Growers Association convened in a particularly quiet Washington, D.C. this week as part of the National Corn Congress. This was due to Congress being on recess and the Republican National Convention — many of the Iowa delegation were not available for meetings. Members of ICGA still had the opportunity to speak on behalf of all Iowa corn farmers to non-Iowa, non-corn states.

They spent July 13 afternoon and part of July 14 morning meeting with Hill staffers from Vermont to Florida who cover vital topics such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, the re-registration of atrazine by the EPA, and support of a strong Renewable Fuel Standar..

“Corn is a widely universal topic; it touches almost every area of everyone’s life,” said Iowa Corn Growers Association President Bob Hemesath. “This year, we had the opportunity to talk with non-Iowa, noncorn states on the Hill and we had a lot of great conversations. I appreciate all of the offices and staffers that took the time to meet with us. It’s important that we have conversations with offices that may not support our issues or understand what it is that we really do. Iowa Corn and NCGA work hard to keep a strong voice on the Hill and while this wasn’t the traditional Corn Congress — it is still an essential part of that process.”

Action team meetings concluded on July 19 afternoon, which led to the beginning of the 2016 Corn Congress. Wednesday morning saw two farmer-members elected to the National Corn Board.

Local & State News Council Continued from Page 1A The group also discussed the future of downtown Newton and the potential to put a plan in place to guide future efforts.

“It would be helpful to have a plan — a downtown development plan,” councilwoman Evelyn George said. “Really create a comprehensive plan, this is what the downtown could be like ... so that it may take 20, 30, 50 years to achieve that but we see a vision by which we go forward and that would help us in our planning and be able to share that with potential businesses.”

Housing efforts in the community were discussed, beginning with the council’s recent decision to move forward with hiring an executive director for the Newton Housing Development Corporation.

“I think for the betterment for our community, I think housing and the development of various different housing, needs to be a high priority,” Hansen said.

The employers in the community identified housing — specifically affordable housing — as an issue for their employees, Hansen said. While the city has started many efforts to jump start the housing market, continuing efforts need to be made to ensure further growth in Newton.

Hansen also put another topic out to the council for it to consider in the coming months.

“We still have a need for D&D (the Dangerous & Dilapidated program that involves small cash offers for buildings to be torn down). There are still homes out there, there are still properties out there that blight this community,” Hansen said. “We still need to, again, invest the necessary funds in order to continue that program.”

He did suggest prioritizing the single and double lots for reinvestment in new, affordable housing.

Airport Advisory Board About eight months ago, Hansen said he was approached by a

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | July 26, 2016 | 3A

group of people wondering why the city did not have an advisory board for the Newton Municipal Airport. A board could potentially be used to discuss initiatives or other items that have to do with airport expansion or operation.

Hansen said he took it under advisement but after being approached a second time decided it was time for the council to decide the direction it wants to go concerning the formation of an airport board.

“There are several types of boards. There are airport commissions, which is similar to what Des Moines International has, who makes the big decisions and spend a lot of money,” Hansen said. “Then there are advisory boards, much like our park board, where they get together, brainstorm, have discussion about what they can do to better our park system, but they have no spending authority.”

Several council members have differing opinions on the direction to go concerning the airport board.

George said she would

NCSD Continued from Page 1A In addition to the Aug. 16 meeting at Berg, committee members are attending meetings of civic and other organizations in the leadup to the Sept.

13 election.

• Approved a $2,000 contract in principle with the Iowa Association of School Boards for consulting on improving board direction and focus.

Harry Heiligenthal, who attended the board learning workshop about special education that took place earlier Monday evening, made a presentation about the service and how boards have seen results after implementing the process.

• Agreed to meet with Heartland Area Education Association officials to discuss the Denison Survey process. The process will include a teacher survey to take place in the fall. Board member Donna Cook said since it was a board directive to complete the survey, the board should go over the survey results at the same time as administrators, rather than administrators or the Heartland AEA having a chance to look at the results first.

• Had six members at a one-hour session held before Monday’s meet-

ing devoted to special education, led

by Miriam Van Heukelem of the Des Moines law firm Ahlers & Cooney.

• Discussed a football camp session held last Thursday involving Newton Community School District student-athletes, with outdoor drills held when the heat index was at or above 100 degrees.

“If the National Weather Service thinks it’s a dangerous condition, I don’t want them out there,” Cook said.

“Coaches did reply to my email questions about it, and it was a camp they paid for. But I don’t think it’s worth it.

People can die in extreme heat. Had I had a child out there, I would have been in the superintendent’s office. I don’t want any players penalized for not attending in these conditions.”

• Heard from Cook about what she feels are excessive activities on Sundays.

“I don’t want families to start having to choose (between school and other activities),” Cook said. “I’m not advocating everybody in the community go to church — that would be great, but they don’t have to — but I am advocating for a day for families and for the board to respect that.”

• Discussed school registration, which, this year, requires an initial online registration for each student. As of Monday, there are still about 900

like to explore the idea of a board while councilwoman Miranda Kulis and councilman Craig Trotter were unsure if that was the way to go.

“I have come to the idea that I haven’t seen it broken, so if it’s not broken, why fix it?” Kulis said. “I would like to hear more information, I’m just not seeing where that is a concern or issue at this point that would lead me down the path of looking for an alternative.”

Trotter along with councilman Steven Mullan said a first step should be to talk with current leadership at the airport to see what plans they have for the organization. Hansen agreed, and an airport workshop session was tentatively planned for Aug. 8 to further discussion.

City administrator search process City Administrator Bob Knabel has announced his intentions to retire in the next three to nine months.

A part of the hiring process for a potential successor includes retaining a consultant for the search.

“I think it is appropriate to start the process of interviewing prospective consultants,” Hansen said. “I am willing to kick that part of it off.”

Hansen said they could work to narrow down the consultants to those the council wishes to bring in to be interviewed for the position.

“That is exactly what we were asking,” Chapé said. “We do have concerns on process and making sure we have the right consultant.”

The council plans to also discuss its preferences for a consultant at its Aug. 8 meeting.

CMB Continued from Page 1A The amendment to the agenda was unanimously approved by board members and will return for discussion next month. The next regular meeting has been set for Aug. 29 at 7 p.m. inside Baxter Community School.

The fate of the 28-year-old CMB sports partnership is in question after Collins-Maxwell voted to end whole-grade sharing talks with Baxter last month — terminating years of sharing discussion between the two districts. Not long after the decision, Collins-Maxwell approved operational sharing of a superintendent and curriculum director with Ballard Community School District.

The Collins-Maxwell School Board has said it still wants to continue the CMB sports sharing agreement. However, Baxter’s board previously stated that if Collins-Maxwell couldn’t commit to a whole-grade sharing future then Baxter would begin to explore other options and possibly end the sports sharing agreement.

The two districts failed to agree on a similar future as Collins-Maxwell expressed interest in exploring a regional school concept and Baxter desired to whole-grade share while remaining a small, rural district.

In recent months, residents from both districts voiced their opinions during town hall meetings and public forums regarding the lack of progress being made between the two schools. The removal of the CMB report from Monday’s agenda out of respect for the CMB baseball team will likely delay a decision about the sports sharing agreement for another month.

The CMB sports sharing agreement is scheduled to continue through the 2016-17 school year, so any decision to end the agreement would affect the 2017-18 year.

Sick day

am bad at being sick. I can probably count on one hand how many times I have been sick since getting married and a few less than that how many sick days I have taken.

Before having kids, I might have taken a little more time to get better.

If I stayed home sick I would have the whole house to myself and could recoup.

The thing I always found was that if I was home with a day off, there was a list forming in my mind of everything that I could be doing instead of laying on the couch. Even if I was stuck on the couch, I tried to figure out what I could accomplish.

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson I have never been very good at napping. I usually wake up feeling worse than when I feel asleep and then have troubles sleeping at night.

In previous jobs, if I were to miss a day I would probably get behind on work and, although it may not be the way to go, I would still head into the office to avoid the mess I would encounter the next day. I also didn’t have an abundance of time off so using it for sick and not fun was not very appealing either.

When I was pregnant with both of

the girls I was sick almost every morning, afternoon and night. I had to learn how to work around my frequent trips to the bathroom, putting the sickness aside to try to have a life along with my growing belly. After the girls were born there were no more sick days.

Even if I am not feeling well I am still Mommy — and Mommy is always in demand.

I often envy my husband who can shut himself in our room and sleep the day away when he isn’t feeling well.

The girls are content with the explanation of Daddy being sick and play the day away without bothering him at all.

I do not get that kind of leeway. I can be coughing, sneezing, fevering, you name it, I am still called upon to help go potty, build a princess castle

or whatever the girls may need. Now, don’t think my husband doesn’t help out because he does his best. The girls can just be resilient in their requests for their mom.

I know I don’t help the cause by giving in. I have always had a problem giving up my responsibilities to someone else because it makes me feel like a burden. At least with vacation it is typically scheduled and a plan is in place for responsibilities.

I also know that to get better I need to take the time to let myself heal. So here I am sitting on the couch, heeling up, and doing the best I can to get better while still getting things done.

Baby steps.

Living and Dion Marc Dion

No lives matter I think this may be when black and white in America finally have it out, when we finish the race war that began at the end of the Civil War. There are people on both sides who want it, or who think they want it, or who think it will make them heroes, and those people have guns.

We’re pretty close to the last battle now. We have dead cops (and a cop’s color barely matters, he or she is white to the eyes behind the gun.) We have Donald’s Trump’s assurance that we have a big problem called “political correctness,” which means America won’t be great again until we can call black people whichever insulting name we think is the funniest.

See it all as one long war, and it becomes clear.

After the Civil War, the Black Army has won a great battle. They are free, just like everyone else.

That cannot be borne. The White Army counterattacks. Jim Crow is born. The White Army wins that one.

The Black Army performs what military people call a “flanking maneuver.” They can’t face the White Army head on, not in the South, so they sweep around its flank, looking for freedom in the great industrial cities of the North. In a battle fought on two fronts, the Black Army defeats the White Army in the civil rights struggle.

Faced with this stunning defeat, the White Army retreats. They abandon the cities to the Black Army and build impregnable strongholds in the suburbs.

There are skirmishes. The Black Army sometimes attacks and conquers a suburb, and the White Army withdraws further, bulldozing cornfields to build another stronghold, further from the city.

Sometimes, elements of the White Army raid into the cities, retaking neighborhoods their grandparents lost to the Black Army. The lifestyle sections of newspapers celebrate these successful raids, calling the retaken neighborhoods “up and coming” or “gentrified.”

There are turncoats and traitors, and sellouts.

People cross the line for love or money. Hearing people say Barack Obama is America’s “first black president” you see how deep the division really runs.

Barack Obama is half-black. His mother was white and his father was black, but he is a black man, because that is what the rules say. If your mother is Italian and your father is Jewish, we say you are half-Italian and half-Jewish, but if either parent is black, we say you are black. The only people who say “biracial” are inner-city grade school teachers and white women who have had a child with a black man.

And now, once more, we stare at each other from behind barricades, ready for the next battle.

Both sides are better armed than ever before and a few shots have been fired by both sides.

Maybe no retreat is possible. A thousand voices tell us to stand our ground, to kill. I think soon, maybe no lives will matter.

AMENDMENT

PAC contributions create slippery slope It is time for a change. This was Breckenridge’s theme in the democratic primary on June 7 against Dan Kelley, the incumbent for District 29. After the 2014 election, it became widely known that Dan Kelley accepted numerous contributions from PACs and lobbyists.

Now, Breckenridge is doing the same. In the article entitled

We deserve the whole truth I’ve been silent too long. In these dangerous and frightening times, I want to report two stunning developments. One, after 14 years of cover-up, the Obama White House finally released the famous 28 pages from the original Joint Congressional Inquiry into 9/11.

“Breckenridge leads fundraising in House District 29” July 20 it is clear that Breckenridge is taking over where Kelley left off. Breckenridge is supported and funded

by PACs such as DRIVE (Teamster’s Union PAC), based in Washington D.C., the Manufactured Housing PAC and the Independent Insurance Agents of Iowa PAC. PACs and lobbyists expect the legislator to vote their way in return for their contribution.

Breckenridge is at the beginning of a very slippery slope as history taught the people of District 29

with the incumbent.

Patrick Payton, Breckenridge’s Republican opponent, has not accepted any PAC or lobbyist money.

Payton’s contributions come from friends, relatives and constituents.

Once again, the Jasper County Democrat Party have a candidate speaking for the special interests at the Capitol and not the people of Iowa House District 29. Whether you are democrat, republican, or independent we need a new voice for District 29. Please join me in supporting Patrick Payton.

We, the LaRouche Movement, led the fight for their release, because those paper show how the Saudi Monarchy — Obama’s allies — ran the worst terror attack on U.S. soil ever.

Secondly, Glass-Steagall people know that I and the LaRouche people have been pushing for years, is now in both the Democratic and Republican party platforms. If Glass-Steagall does not get reinstated fast the U.S. economy will not make

it — just look at the collapse in the dairy and cattle prices.

And if the whole truth of who did 9/11 is not made public, terrorism will continue world wide including here in America.

So I am calling on the people of Iowa to get to their representatives and demand that the whole truth of 9/11 be made public and Glass-Steagall become the law of our country again.

Former Newton resident releases latest novel ‘Jak Barkley’ Newton Daily News The fourth in a series and the sixth fantasy novel published by former Newton resident Dan Ehl came out this month — “Jak Barley, Private Inquisitor — and the Case of One Damned Thing After Another.” The humorous fantasy novel is published by Rogue Phoneix Press and is available as an eBook or paperback.

Ehl is currently the editor of The Kalona News and The High-

land Review.

Jak Barley, private inquisitor, hates cases involving damned creatures like vampires and zombies, but that’s just what he finds himself helplessly mired in. Jak has come to hate adventures. He would prefer the boring cases of his earlier years in the profession when dealing with errant husbands or minor pilferings. Still, somehow he finds himself eluding corrupt officials and creatures of the night that want to

suck his blood and eat his brains.

Barley does find help in his friend and publisher of the Weekly Tattler, as well as his mysterious friend Lorenzo Spasm from a parallel firmament — one similar to Jak’s world in many ways, but devoid of any magic. He also finds support from his girlfriend, Morgana, an apprentice witch.

Ehl’s novels are available at roguephoenixpress.com or amazon.com.

Counseling can’t save marriage lacking intimacy DEAR ABBY: I have been married for almost three years to a woman who refuses to share the same bed with me. It started on our honeymoon when, after having sex, she chose to sleep in a different bed whenever there were two beds in the room.

She’s in her late 40s and had never been married before. We have been intimate only twice in the last year.

Moreover, she doesn’t let me sit next to her while we watch TV, and there is no kissing, no touching, no affection of any kind, physical or verbal.

I have wracked my brain trying to figure out why she treats me like this, and I have a few suspicions. She’s applying for permanent residence status and may have married me only for that, although she denies it. She can no longer bear children, so she may think there is no point in having sex or being intimate. She may have an aversion to being touched, although she doesn’t show that when we’re out in public. She likes to hug her female friends. (And no, I don’t think she’s a lesbian.)

Any love that existed between us is nearly gone at this point, so am I justified in getting a separation? We have been to counseling, and that is what the therapist recommended. — FEELING UNLOVED IN UTAH DEAR FEELING UNLOVED: Assuming you brush your teeth, use deodorant and shower regularly, I’m as mystified about your wife’s behavior as you are. I know people who treat their dogs and cats better than this woman has been treating you.

That you have tolerated it this long is surprising.

Your therapist has advised a separation, but I would go further than that. Because you don’t have a marriage, I think you should make it official.

DEAR ABBY: I receive at least

two or three telemarketing calls a day — and sometimes even more on Sundays. Can you please tell me what to do to put a stop to this?

I have written once before to an address to curb this situation, but no luck. These calls come as late as 9 p.m. Thank you for any advice. — STRESSED OUT IN ILLINOIS DEAR STRESSED OUT: I agree that telemarketing calls are invasive when they come in multiples. The USA.gov Consumer Action Handbook includes a number you can call to restrict telemarketing calls permanently by registering your phone number. It is 888-382-1222.

This can also be done online at www. donotcall.gov.

If you receive telemarketing calls after your number has been in the national registry for 31 days, you can file a complaint using the same web page and toll-free number.

This will cut back on some of the calls you receive, but not all of them.

Political organizations, charities and telephone surveyors with which you have a relationship can still get through. However, if you still find yourself being inundated, contact your phone provider and inquire about call-blocking 800 numbers.

Good luck!

1 Unusual rainfall over 2 weeks

in student sex case

helps alleviate Iowa dry spots

DES MOINES — The past two weeks have been very wet across most of Iowa with the statewide average rainfall total nearly double the normal amount. In an update on water conditions Monday, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources says statewide average rainfall for the past two weeks is just over 4 inches compared with the normal of 2.09 inches. Two-week rain totals varied from 1.5 inches at Akron to 9 inches at Red Oak. The area of the state impacted by dryness has fallen from about 50 percent to near 40 percent.

2 Prosecutor: Man’s shooting

by Boone officers justified

BOONE — The Boone County attorney says two officers were justified in shooting a man who was aiming what appeared to be a handgun at them. Authorities say Boone Police Sgt. Nathan Kester and Officer Joseph Slight shot and killed 28-year-old Michael Disbrowe on June 27. They’d been dispatched to check a report that an armed man was threatening people. The officers say they fired after Disbrowe pulled the weapon.

Democrats release survey showing Medicaid problems

5 Iowa football player mistaken

DES MOINES — Democratic lawmakers have released a survey that says some health care providers are not being paid properly under Iowa’s privatized Medicaid program. The survey released Monday says 90 percent of more than 400 health care providers who responded have seen administrative costs increase since the program switched to private management April 1. The survey indicates nearly eight in 10 of those providers say they haven’t been paid on time.

for robber, held at gunpoint

IOWA CITY— A University of Iowa football player says he was playing “Pokemon Go” in a public park when he was mistaken for a suspected bank robber, surrounded by police and searched at gunpoint. Faith Ekakitie writes on Facebook that he feared for his life Wednesday in Iowa City. He explains that a bank had been robbed nearby and that he matched the suspect’s description.

Hogs 4 Dogs donates bulletproof vest to NPD, K-9 Smokey

Harold Vietor, longtime federal judge in Iowa, dies IOWA CITY (AP) — Harold Vietor, a highly respected state and federal judge in Iowa who served on the bench for five decades, has died.

His death was confirmed Monday by the Des Moines-based federal court for the Southern District of Iowa, where Vietor had served starting in 1979.

Vietor died Saturday after suffering a stroke in Tucson, Arizona, where he had recently moved. His daughter works there as a federal public defender.

Vietor, who was known as “Hal,” was appointed as a district judge in Linn County by Gov. Harold Hughes at age 33 in 1965. He had worked in private practice in Cedar Rapids after attending the University of Iowa law school. Vietor, a Parkersburg native, had also served in the Navy during the Korean War. In 1979, President Jimmy Carter appointed Vietor to fill a newly created federal judge position in the Southern District of Iowa. He was confirmed by the U.S. Senate, where Sen. John Culver of Iowa championed the appointment.

Vietor served as the district’s chief judge from 1985 to 1992, overseeing the restoration of the main courtroom in the federal courthouse in Des Moines.

“Judge Vietor handled exceedingly complex cases in this district,” said the district’s current chief judge, John Jarvey. “He had a way of making it look easy.”

Jarvey praised Vietor’s “wisdom, kindness and collegiality” and said he had an extraordinary command of the law.

Vietor assumed senior status in 1996 but kept handling cases on a part-time basis until recently.

Last fall, his colleagues and former clerks gathered to congratulate him for 50 years on the bench.

Tall with gray hair and a booming voice, Vietor was “kind of out of central casting” for a federal judge, said Senior U.S. District Judge Robert Pratt, who succeeded Vietor on the bench. Vietor handled a number of significant cases, including two in which his rulings were upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court, he said.

“He always had a reputation for fairness and for treating people with great dignity and respect,” Pratt said.

Newton Daily News Last February, Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small presented a check to the Newton Police Department on behalf of Iowa Speedway Cares — the Speedway’s charitable arm. The department, in partnership with the Newton Police Association, sought funds dedicated to the training and boarding needs of an 11-month old Border Collie mix named Smokey.

The highly trained K-9 assists the department with narcotics and bomb-sniffing operations.

Smokey, a rescue dog from the Animal Rescue League of Iowa, has already proven himself to be a strong resource for the community, and on Friday, he received a K-9 Bulletproof Vest via a donation from Hogs 4 Dogs.

“We are extremely proud to have been chosen by Iowa Speedway to participate and partner with them in their 50/50 efforts,” Hogs 4 Dogs President John Hartley and Vice President Tammie Hartley said. “We want to take this time to thank all of our supporters and all those who have donated to make this presentation possible.”

The organization uses funds raised within the community to purchase vests for military or

police dogs. The Hogs 4 Dogs motorcycle riders also support educational opportunities around low-cost spay and neuter programs. Hogs 4 Dogs staffed the 50 / 50 raffle during Wide Opening Weekend at Iowa Speedway in June. The group decided to use a portion of its donation from Iowa Speedway Cares to ensure that Smokey will be protected in even the most hazardous situations.

Iowa Speedway Cares is a Donor Advised Fund of the NA-

SCAR Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in Daytona Beach, Fla. The primary focus of Iowa Speedway Cares is to support the local community, with an emphasis on youth-centered programs. The Speedway has a long-standing relationship with local first responders and law enforcement. The speedway’s donation was made as a way to show gratitude for the many volunteer hours made by the Newton Police Department during race season.

$245,000 wastewater project meets city and school approval

Contact the Newton Daily News for more information Matthew Nosco News Editor

A 28E agreement between the city and the PCM school district has been approved by both entities, and now the design process will move forward on a joint wastewater management project between the entities.

The hope is that the project, a new filtration and drainage system being put in alongside the athletic complex in Prairie City, will help drain

the water out of the area more efficiently than in the past while also filtering the water through natural vegetation.

The project is estimated to cost around $245,000, which will be paid by the city. The funds will be coming from a State Revolving Fund loan the city had previously taken out for its new wastewater treatment plant.

Iowa State’s Tribune arrested in OWI case AMES (AP) — An Iowa State football player has been suspended from the team after his arrest in Ames.

University police say 20-year-old Nigel Tribune was pulled over a little before 3 a.m. Sunday because he had not turned on his vehicle’s headlamps.

Police say Tribune failed field sobriety tests and a preliminary breath test. He’s been charged with operating while intoxicated and with two traffic violations. Online court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for Tribune.

Iowa State coach Matt Campbell says Tribune has been suspended indefinitely from the team.

Tribune is listed as a backup cornerback on the depth chart.

Cubs get closer Aroldis Chapman in 4-for-1 trade CHICAGO (AP) — Before the Chicago Cubs completed a trade for Aroldis Chapman, owner Tom Ricketts and president of baseball operations Theo Epstein decided they had to hear from the closer himself about a domestic violence allegation in the offseason.

So Ricketts and Epstein asked Major League Baseball for a window to speak with the left-hander, and they got him on the phone Monday. When the conversation was over, the blockbuster deal was on.

Chasing their first World Series title since 1908, the Cubs addressed one of their few weaknesses by sending a pricey package of four players to the New York Yankees for Chapman, one of the most dominant relievers in the game, but one who also comes with some risk for a franchise riding a positive wave.

“This is a game-changer. Aroldis Chapman is a game-changing-type pitcher in the postseason,” Epstein said. “As you sit around and game CUBS | 6B

DES MOINES — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s baseball team relished the underdog role throughout the postseason.

Playing in their first-ever state baseball tournament, the Raiders were once again the underdog against a Carroll Kuemper Catholic team which has played in five state tournaments since earning runner-up honors in 2010.

This time the favorite was victorious.

CMB rallied from a 2-0 deficit to force extra innings,.

Too many mistakes in the field and not enough timely hits at the plate plagued the Raiders during a 3-2, eight-inning loss to the Knights on Monday at Principal Park.

“We left it out there. We should have come through and won that one, but that’s just how baseball is sometimes,” CMB senior Nate Bishop said.

“The ball bounces this way and the ball bounces that way.

We did everything we could.

It just didn’t go our way.”

Bishop reached base twice in the game and got the Raiders on the board with a run in the seventh inning.

The Raiders out-hit Kuemper Catholic, 6-5, but two of CMB’s four errors led to single runs in the sixth and eighth innings.

The Taurus moon takes over with commercial intent that favors those who happen to make money from selling luxury. The high-end items suddenly seem worth every penny, regardless of whether or not we actually have said pennies. Financial self-restraint may be hard to come by, but it’s worth striving for. Avoid using credit.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (July 26). What you want isn’t always the best thing to get.

You’ll get better in August: It may be exactly what you don’t want, and yet it will prove to be the very best thing to happen. September brings a love breakthrough. You’ll meld with

another and learn how to communicate on a level that makes 2017 smooth and fun. Cancer and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 29, 11, 22 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You keep saying that you could do better if you were given the right circumstances. Well, you’ll give yourself those circumstances through saying “yes” and saying “no” to things today.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You are not bored by other people, though you might be bored by the same people (possibly the person you live inside) in the same circum-

stance you’ve seen again and again. You’ll most certainly do something about this.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The project before you is exciting. Don’t let your excitement cause you to rush. Leave a good amount of space between the different stages of work.

It will help you to refine and improve as you go.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Good news. Though you’ll be very out of your element for a period of this day, there is no need to study or watch another person in order to know what to do. The right answers come to you by nature.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The idea that was strange and wonderful will now show a

different side. The idea that was strange and horrible will seem to have its merits. These are merely signals that your mind is open.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

No one is ever alone in a feeling. However complex it may seem, someone else in the world has gone through or is going through something very close to your emotion, but you have reach out to know the truth of this.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The blue skies make you feel like you should run into them, arms open, confident and alone. The storms make you feel that you should huddle up and cling to another person. Both are just weather and mood.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You graciously acknowledge the favors you’re given, but you don’t use them all, as it would incur too much debt.

Note: The favors from on high are generally lower priced than those from down low.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Sometimes you think you sound like a broken record, as the circumstances of your life seem to run you, and the “you” they seem to run has the same message, recurring. Flip it.

Play the other side.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You don’t always like to admit it, but there’s comfort in a routine. By the way, you could really use some comfort right now. Instead of moving to

the next excitement, consider setting a nice groove.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Will you deliver what you said you would? Probably. And when the potential recipient is persistent, definitely. Furthermore, whatever is open to interpretation, you’ll interpret it.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Your contentment will rely on valuing the help you give.

Don’t promise more. Even if you only help a person one time, being present in a moment of need will have a profound impact.

Earnhardt’s return to NASCAR could take more time CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Dale Earnhardt Jr. warned Monday that his return to NASCAR could take longer than planned.

NASCAR’s most popular driver is scheduled to miss his third consecutive race this Sunday with concussion-like symptoms. On his weekly podcast, he said he will have another evaluation soon to see “what kind of gains we’ve made and get in front of my doctors . and let them tell me where they think I’m at and

that will help us make the decision on what we’re going to do for Watkins Glen.”

Jeff Gordon came out of retirement to drive for Earnhardt Jr. Earnhardt on Sunday at Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and Gordon will race the No. 88 car again this weekend at Pocono. No decision has

been made by Hendrick Motorsports about next month’s race at Watkins Glen.

Earnhardt said on last week’s podcast he was struggling with balance and nausea, and said Monday doctors have given him daily exercises to improve his balance.

“That stuff takes about two hours, two and a half hours,” he said. “I’ve got to do it every day. There’s worse things to have to do. Some of it is tedious. Some of it is pretty tough. Some of the visual stuff

is pretty tough.

“You can race with some ailments. You can race with a bad wrist ... there’s been some guys that have done some pretty incredible things. I’ve raced with a broken shoulder blade. There’s certain things you can race through, but one of the things you cannot race through is concussion-like symptoms. The balance deal is a critical part of being able to drive a race car.”

Earnhardt also asked his fans to thank Gordon for tak-

ing over. Gordon was on vacation in France with his family when team owner Rick Hendrick asked him to drive for Earnhardt.

“I’m not sure I would have made the decision he made to leave an awesome vacation with his family,” he said.

“Make sure you guys send special thanks to Jeff, my crew went through all that heat (at Indy) as well. Keep sending them good vibes. When we get back together, it’s going to be on.”

Cubs Continued from Page 1B plan how you’re going to win a big game or how you’re going to win a postseason game, it makes it look a lot easier when you see him there on your lineup card.”

Chapman is expected to join the Cubs for Tuesday night’s game at the crosstown White Sox. For the Yankees, it was a rare July trade that saw the best player in the deal leaving New York. But Chapman is eligible for free agency after this season, New York also has All-Stars Andrew Miller and Dellin Betances in the bullpen, and its haul included top shortstop prospect Gleyber Torres, versatile pitcher Adam Warren and minor league outfielders Billy McKinney and Rashad Crawford.

“This was an easy call, and this was the right call,” general manager Brian Cashman said. “Easy because we traded from an area of strength and we are excited about the players that we’ve received for someone that obviously was only under control for two more months.”

The Yankees had won six of eight heading into Monday night’s game at Houston, but they still face long odds of getting to the playoffs. They made the decision to trade Chapman after his agents said he would not agree to a new contract that would start in 2017, a person familiar with the talks said. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because no public statement on those talks was authorized.

If New York slips back any further, it could engage in a rare sell-off for the franchise.

Miller, signed through 2018, also could be traded.

All-Star outfielder Carlos Beltran, first baseman Mark Teixeira and pitcher Ivan Nova are eligible for free agency after the season and could be sought by contenders.

The 28-year-old Chapman went 3-0 with a 2.01 ERA and 20 saves in 31 games for New York. He threw a 105.1 mph fastball to Baltimore’s J.J. Hardy last week, matching the fastest since Major League Baseball began tracking speeds in 2008.

With lefty-batting sluggers Bryce Harper of Washington and Brandon Belt of San Francisco possibly looming in the playoffs, the addition of Chapman gives Cubs manager Joe Maddon one of the majors’ top assets when in need of a late strikeout.

“The Cubs have been playing really good baseball,” Chapman said through a translator before he left Houston to travel to Chicago.

“I think they’re probably one of the better teams in both leagues right now.

They have a good rhythm right now. They’re fighting to get that ring, so it might be a good experience for me to be there.”

CMB Continued from Page 1B CMB (14-12) put a runner on base in five of the first six innings but only got to second base in the third, after Bishop singled, and then went to second on a walk by senior Spencer Gauch.

In the seventh, Bishop reached on an error and then went to second on a single by sophomore Travis Lindemoen. The Knights committed a crucial error later in the inning when catcher Ben Berg’s attempted pick off of Lindemoen at first base sailed over the Trevor Feilmeier’s head at first base.

Bishop scored on the error and then Stover belted a twoout, RBI single to right field to tie the game.

“We have had a bit of cardiac kids in us all season, especially in the postseason,” Bishop said. “We have always done a good job staying in games. When we have (Stover) pitching, we know we are in for a battle. We did everything we could to stay in the game for Brady, for our coaches and for these tremendous fans who came out to watch us.”

Unfortunately, that’s all the Raiders could muster against Kuemper starter Tyler Williams and reliever Tyler Laing.

Laing got the win after taking over for Williams in the seventh inning following Stover’s game-tying hit.

Stover (7-1) started for the Raiders and lost for the first time this season. He alllowed two earned runs on five hits while striking out 10 and walking three.

“He kept us in it for as long as he could. We know we have a chance when he is on the mound,” CMB coach Max Seeman said. “Our offense didn’t back him up tonight.

Sometimes that’s just how it goes. It’s a bummer that we

couldn’t get him more runs, but you can’t fault the effort.

I am really proud of my guys for not giving up.”

Kuemper’s offense was a great test for Stover. The Knights (25-11) came into the game hitting better than .320 as a team. While Stover wasn’t at his best, he was still the best pitching Kuemper has faced all season, according to Knight senior Brett Sibbel, who had the game-winning hit in the bottom of the eighth inning.

“The kid was just phenomenal,” Sibbel said. “We

thought he would be tired after he got to 100 pitches, but he kept pumping them in there. The ball I hit in the eighth was right over the plate. He didn’t miss much, and when he did miss he was able to just blow it past us.

“He was great though. He was the best pitcher we’ve faced all year, hands down. He was amazing.”

Stover said his arm was hurting in the first inning.

The number of pitches and innings he threw in the postseason may have caught up to him. The senior’s left arm

took the Raiders as far as it could.

The end result was the state baseball tournament just four years after back-to-backback one-win seasons.

“My arm is exhausted. My arm was hurting in the first inning. It was hurting all game,” Stover said. “I didn’t have my full velocity tonight.

I just tried to battle. I love these guys. I would pitch any day for my team. It just stinks that we came up a little short.”

Senior Brad Ritter had two hits and was hit by a pitch in his final high school baseball game. Lindemoen, Bishop.

Stover and Brady Ross all had a hit apiece. Stover had an RBI, while Lindemoen and Bishop scored the Raiders’ two runs in the seventh inning.

Kuemper faces Pleasantville in a 2A semifinal at 7:30 p.m. Thursday. The other semifinal pits No. 2 and defending champion Clear Lake against sixth-ranked Hinton at 5 p.m. Thursday.

“These guys knew last year that we could do special things. We made CMB history this year,” Seeman said.

“We caught fire, Brady got hot on the mound and it was good for every one of these guys to be able get here and experience this. It’s just unfortunate that it had to end this early.”

Bishop was one of the Raider seniors who experienced a one-win season during his freshman campaign. He never thought in that year his prep baseball career would end at Principal Park.

“I can’t even put this into words,” Bishop said. “That freshmen season was awful.

We rallied around each other and playing here was the culimination of hard work, determination and grit. It’s been a fun ride.”
