‘Dangerous’ suspect still at-large Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Newton resident and parent Jessica McNeer speaks during Tuesday’s Medicaid forum in Baxter as Kris Reicks of Optimae, right, and others listen. About 40 people came to the forum, hosted by Rep. Mark Smith (D-Marshalltown) Sen. Chaz Allen (D-Newton) and House District 29 candidate Wes Breckenridge.

Democratic lawmakers, candidate address ‘Medicaid crisis’ Trio hears from angry providers, parents at Baxter forum

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News BAXTER — From contractual issues to timely payments to providers, there seem to be more than a million issues to be worked out as Iowa transitions its Medicaid system to a managed-care format.

Two state legislators and a candidate for another legislative seat tried to take on some of the headaches involved with Iowa’s

Medicaid system and its three managed-care organizations at a Baxter forum Tuesday evening.

Rep. Mark Smith (D-Marshalltown), the Democrats’ House minority leader, along with Sen. Chaz Allen (D-Newton) and Iowa House District 29 Democratic candidate Wes Breckenridge listened to health care providers and parents of patients discuss their individual difficulties.

“We’re about $200,000 in payments due to us since April 1, and we’ve had to take out loans to make payroll,” said Capstone Behavioral Healthcare Director Julie Smith. “It’s been very frustrating.”

These were the same types of stories Allen heard last week when his Senate Human Resources Committee held a special out-ofsession hearing at the statehouse to address Medicaid. Tuesday’s meeting, which drew about 40 people to the Baxter Community

Center, brought out more of the same types of frustrations, and contact information was collected from those in attendance to follow-up on their concerns.

Baxter Mayor Stephen Smith talked about the small health clinic that was staffed only by a nurse practitioner. The Baxter clinic was forced to close July 19 because it wasn’t receiving Medicaid reimbursements quickly enough to meet expenses, he said.

“It was only the nurse practitioner and her husband trying to complete forms and everything else,” Stephen Smith said. “They had $8,000 on the books out to Medicaid that they could not collect on, so we lost our clinic. We gave her six months rent-free in a building. They were getting rejection notices on claims and being told to re-submit them.”

A 28-year-old man who may be armed and is considered dangerous remains at-large Wednesday.

The Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office on Tuesday alerted locals to the hunt for Nicholas C. Hartgers. He is described as a white male, approximately 6 feet tall and weighs about 160 pounds with numerous tattoos, according to authorities.

Hartgers is currently wanted on several warrants for his arrest issued out of Jasper County. Hartgers is also a suspect in numerous burglaries in the Jasper

County area.

Jasper County S h e riff John Halferty said the office has fieldHartgers ed class w i t h potential information on Hartgers but is still searching for at this time. No specific area has been given as to where Hartgers may be located.

Anyone with information regarding his whereabouts is asked to contact the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office at 641-792-5912.

Demolition at former care facility complete

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Demolition work at the former Jasper County Care Facility is complete.

T h e Jasper County Board of Supervisors formally accepted Brock the completion of the project and authorized the release of the final payment at its meeting on Tuesday.

Lanphier Excavating was awarded the demolition with a bid of $297,500 and began

work on May 16 following a pre-construction meeting between the contractor, Shive-Hattery, engineer on the project, and county officials. The work consisted of removing the former care facility, youth shelter, an underground tank, site paving and replacing to soil.

“We are extremely happy with Mike Lanphier and Scott Nickel,” supervisor Joe Brock said. “They had estimated about an eightweek time period for demolition, and I think they were close to six weeks.”

Twenty-eight years Main Street intern learns more than just logistics in the books

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Paramedic and firefighter Bob Van Arkel is saluted by chief Jarrod Wellik, right, after receiving a folded American flag in honor of his retirement and years of service. Van Arkel was honored Tuesday, the final day of a Newton Fire Department career that began in May 1988. Van Arkel’s family was present to watch a color guard remove the American flag from in front of NFD and present it to him in honor of his service.

Van Arkel said the support of his wife, Kim, who was by herself during his many long shifts, was one of the many things that made his career possible.

In Brief

Pleasant View UMC to host children’s summer camp

Service in the south Submitted Photo Phyllis Peter of Prairie City, gives the front door a second coat of paint while the homeowner, Linda, peaks around the corner during the Prairie City Church of the Brethren’s July 2-9 mission trip to Waco, Texas. Five members of the church worked with other Brethren churches from around the country to do community service at the Waco Family Abuse Shelter and Linda’s home.

Colfax, Prairie City volunteers travel to Waco for Brethren church mission Before the five Prairie City Church of the Brethren mission trip members met Linda at her Waco, Texas home on the Fourth of July, the elderly woman had just recently begun to live what those in the middle class call a “normal life.”

Linda spent most of her adult years homeless, living on the streets of Chicago and wandering Key West. She was given up by her mother as a little girl and raised in an Illinois state institution until she was 15 when she ran.

Linda eventually found her way to Waco. She had children and eventually earned a college degree. After joining the Lake Shore Baptist Church, the congregation helped Linda buy a house and put down roots.

Earlier this month, the Brethren mission group helped make the house a little homier. PCCOB member Phyllis Peter said Linda told the group she dreamed as a child of having a house with a red door. So the church group — filled with kids from both Prairie City and Colfax — made that dream a reality. Fitting for Independence Day, the mission group painted the door a bright red and the rest of the house was coated with a light blue matched with a dark blue trim.

Peter said hearing Linda tell her story was fun and important for the kids on the service trip. “(Linda) had no bitterness. She was just super thankful and couldn’t believe that these kids would work so hard all day in the heat to paint her little house,” Peter said. “She had finally gotten a place that was her own. It was small and it looked a bit run down. Painting it made it a lot more homey.”

Kendall Earles, 14, is a Colfax-Mingo High School freshman and a member of the PCCOB. She and mother Erika traveled to Waco and said painting Linda’s house was a highlight.

“She’s had a really rough life and had been homeless. She had trouble feeling at home in her house, so we painted it,” Kendall said. “She was very happy and it was nice to see her that happy.”

The group from PCCOB were gone for seven days from July 2-9. The mission was organized through Church of the Brethren’s National Youth Ministries Office. Twenty-two kids attended the service trip in all. Youth from Pennsylvania and Maryland joined members of the Brethren’s regional contingent from Prairie City, Colfax and other parts of Iowa and Minnesota. Five kids from the PCCOB went to Waco — the largest mission group the Prairie City church has sent to the national Brethren service trip to date.

“Some of those kids have known each other since third grade from church camp. They have pretty strong relationships and have become really good friends over the years,” Peter said.

The group spent the majority of the trip at Waco’s emergency Family Abuse Center, a shelter which housed mainly women and children who are victims of domestic violence.

The Brethren teens painted a fence at FAC, helped organized the center’s thrift store warehouse and cleaned portions of the facility. A small group of the team helped care for children while their mothers attended counselling sessions at the center.

Due to the severity of some of the cases, the Prairie City and Colfax youth did not work with the shelter’s residents but focused on needed maintenance around the shelter, however, the Brethren church group did join a picnic with the women and children at the shelter.

Abbey McConeghey is also a ninth-grader at C-M High School who attended the trip. She hopes for another opportunity to travel and help those less fortunate in the near future.

“I liked that we got to learn, although it’s sad that things like that happen, I learned a bit more about that and now we’re more aware of it and what happens to some people,” she said. “I’ll go on another mission trip. I’m sure of that. I’d just be happy to do any work that needs done.”

Kendall added she wants to do more service work at home.

“I really enjoyed doing all the community work in the thrift shop that the FAC ran and seeing how grateful they all were,” Kendall said. “Afterward, I came home very excited to bring this into my community and start serving there more. Whenever an opportunity comes up, I’m open to anything.”

French Muslims step out of invisibility after attacks PARIS (AP) — French Muslims have been officially invisible, expected to blend in with the rest of the citizenry in secular France. But now they are speaking out — and being called on to take a larger role in combatting the threat from Islamist extremists.

The killing of a priest last week at the altar of his Normandy church by two 19-year-old extremists has become a lightning rod for change.

In an unusual joint statement published Sunday, a group of more than 40 Muslim lawyers, doctors and other professionals said that French Muslims must move from the shadows to front and center, and take action because those representing Islam have lost touch with the young.

“We were silent because we learned that in France religion is a private affair,” the signers wrote, referring to the secular values France prizes and the French model of integration by which citizens forego their cultures of origin for Frenchness.

“Now we must speak because Islam has become a public affair and the current situation is intolerable.”

The signers said Muslim leaders are unable to reach out, let alone represent, a younger generation of Muslims — some of them “the prey of jihadi Islam ideologues.”

France’s strict brand of secularism was behind two laws to ban Muslim apparel — headscarves in classrooms in 2004 and face-covering veils in streets, in 2010. It has also meant French authorities normally communicate only with Muslim leaders through the French Council for the Muslim Faith, or CFCM — an umbrella group the government helped set up in 2003 as conduit for dialogue with a religion that, unlike Catholicism, has no hierarchy.

But now, even the government is reaching beyond Muslim officialdom to implore citizens of the Islamic faith to join in the battle for hearts and minds against extremists.

Medicare Continued from Page 1A The long list of concerns voiced Tuesday had a few common themes: snags in getting patients approved for certain treatments, delays in Medicaid payments to providers and unexpectedly small payments to providers. Several providers at the forum said they are receiving payments as if they were out-of-network providers, when those providers had pre-negotiated contracts with the three MCOs for the expressed purpose of being in-network.

Quarterly re-assessments (as opposed to annual assessments), approving lower-grade or shorter-term treatments, massive hours needed by clinicians to understand and submit claims and long maneuvers through phone trees were among the other concerns.

Jessica McNeer, of Newton, discussed the lack of availability of specialists, including the ones needed to help treat her

Intern Continued from Page 1A I couldn’t do it then but I remembered it this winter so I got ahold Andrew and asked if he was looking for anyone.

I met with him a few times and then I got the position,” Barr said.

Barr’s main project during the internship was running the Newton Farmers’ Market. She would get to the courthouse lawn at about 3 p.m. to help vendors find the correct spot, make sure the event runs smoothly and be available for any questions people might have.

During the course of the summer Barr saw the ebb and flow of the market, most notably the increase of vendors from 14 to last year to 20 this year.

“We’ve had a couple of new vendors this year. Several of the days we had a honey vendor that we are hoping to get back next year,” Barr said.

“We even talked today about getting more of the people that have local garden items they have a surplus of and need an outlet for.”

Barr learned a lot about logistics by running the farmers market but also gained invaluable knowledge from the vendors themselves.

“To meet some of the vendors too, they have a lot of insight. Some of these people are up at 5 a.m.,” Barr said. “It is really interesting

son’s cerebral palsy. She said she’s concerned experienced and valued doctors will either retire sooner, leave medicine altogether or find ways to avoid Medicaid if problems with coverage, contracts and payments persist.

When asked if there would be more legislative oversight of Medicaid in the future, Mark Smith said he doesn’t like to describe it as a partisan issue, but he said there is some Republican resistance to that idea. He said the House Hu-

Barr couldn’t have picked a more appropriate summer project to help her continue in her education. At SDSU she is majoring in dietetics with a minor in nonprofit business and horticulture.

“Local foods are definitely an interest of mine, nonprofit business is an interest,” Barr said. “It has opened some doors and given me experience to maybe host my own farmers market someday.”

As her internship wraps up for the year, Barr said it was a great experience and hopes, if it works out, to come back for a second summer. Main Street Executive Director Graham Sullivan is also excited about that prospect along with any other internship possibilities throughout the year.

“She’s been a huge asset to our farmers market. Without her we wouldn’t have such a smoothly run market,” Sullivan said. “This is experience that she can use going forward in her eventual career. We wish her the best of luck as she goes back to school this fall.”

Breckenridge said the three men would do whatever they could to help patients, parents and providers with individual cases or questions, but they also hope to hear about patterns, such as a specific and consistent issue with one of the three MCOs. Allen echoed the sentiment from other Democrats around the state recently in declaring Medicaid issues an emergency that requires attention.

“One person calls me about an issue, I get information and deal with it,” Allen said. “Two people call me about something, and that’s a real concern.

Three people on a subject, and that’s a crisis. I’m getting more than three calls on this every single day.”

More than two options I

Babbling Brooks Jason W. Brooks

can’t believe how often I hear Americans say they must vote for a certain candidate because the alternative candidate is terrible, and we must choose the lesser evil.

I understand folks are doing the math and calculating the best way to block the most-despised candidate, but democracy isn’t a math problem.

It’s a cultural dilemma — one that involves examining all the choices.

If we are going to ever return any amount of simplicity to the technical and financial sides of the American electoral process, we must first simplify the way we think about, view and describe candidates: pick the one you think will serve citizens best and quit worrying about what new dirt there is on any other candidates.

I am not going to advocate for any candidate publicly in this election cycle. However, I hope all registered

voters take advantage of their heartily defended right to elect a president this fall, and I hope all voters investigate candidates from lesser-known parties.

Things might be a little different at the state and local level, where there might only be two candidates, and write-ins don’t tend to win large elections. However, on this year’s November ballot, the U.S. presidential election will once again feature many parties, and we should carefully examine each candidate without considering their “electability.”

The two-party system is mired into a stalemate of conflicting values. We must resist the obsessive pragmatist in each of us and look outside of those two parties to see what we’ve been missing.

It all depends on priorities and preferences. Some voters seem to feel blocking so-and-so is a big deal and

ignore the base principle of democracy and plurality that’s the real basis of our system. Others talk about the 2000 election, in which nearly three million votes for Ralph Nader seemed to make a difference and ruin it for eventual Supreme Court-decision loser Al Gore.

Some Gore supporters blame voters for choosing Nader. Another way to view it would be to say if Gore were a more convincing candidate, he’d have won, and none of his supporters would even be ruminating about Nader at all, ever.

Here’s another possibility to consider. If Nader had taken a more visible career path and held more local and lower-level offices and become more well-known and experienced in government, his Green Party might have earned even more than three million votes, and Gore and his supporters would be blaming themselves and the campaign for losing instead of talking about Nader, the Supreme Court or Florida election procedures and hanging chads.

Those who tell me the country or the world is at stake, and how we must

only focus on one of two candidates, precisely illustrate why the two-party system is obsolete, and why me must investigate other candidates. We live in an information age where there are many alternatives to major TV networks, so blaming them for not giving more exposure to candidates or parties is a lame excuse for not doing our homework.

Perhaps we look at who else is running — open-mindedly — and decide our initially favored candidate is still the one we think would make the best president. However, at least an informed choice would get us out of the grade-school thinking that because one person is inept, that must automatically make the other richest, most high-profile, opponent is the default “blocking” choice.

At last month’s Republican National Convention, Ted Cruz urged us to vote our conscience. I second with his suggestion — as long as we are informed about all candidates on Iowa ballots.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

When we want to elect mommy or daddy Americans want to elect Daddy or Mommy.

That’s what this election has become. It hasn’t been about competing or contrasting visions of government. It hasn’t been about rooting out corruption in Washington or bringing change to the system. It certainly hasn’t been about principle.

No, this election has become a simple decision: Do you want the thickheaded loudmouth who understands your problems, or do you want the cold and calculating robotic manipulator who doesn’t? Do you want the real-life Archie Bunker, or would you prefer Mary Tyler Moore in “Ordinary People”?

That’s what the latest polls tell us. They tell us that Americans aren’t happy with either of their choices.

Fully 45 percent of Democrats wish someone other than Hillary Clinton had won the primary, and the same percentage of Republicans wish someone other than Donald Trump had been nominated. Sixty-eight percent of Americans think Clinton isn’t honest or trustworthy; 54 percent think she’s running for personal gain rather than the good of the country; 57 percent say Clinton would divide the country as president; and just 38 percent say they’d be proud to have her as president. Trump’s numbers are bad, too, but he has a significant advantage on honesty (with 55 percent saying he’s dishonest). Forty-seven percent say he’s running for personal gain, and 55 percent say he’d divide the country as president.

Trump is now beating Clinton where it counts.

People believe that he understands their problems and believe that Clinton doesn’t.

Here’s the bigger problem, however: Electing politicians who “understand your problems” is a recipe for disaster. Governing properly isn’t about identifying with the feelings of constituents; that position logically leads to a politics of individual “problem-solving” focused solely on curing constituents’ ills. Governing properly should be about understanding that government’s jobisn’t to solve Americans’ problems; it’s about moving aside obstacles so that Americans can solve their own problems.

No longer.

Bill Clinton is truly the father of the “feel your pain” politics, the notion that politicians ought to be beer buddies, folks who get what we feel and respond to it. This is a successful campaign strategy, but it changes what we’re looking for. Now we’re looking for candidates who can demonstrate that they get us and candidates who can provide for us. We’re looking for President Benjamin Spock.

But government is not our parent. Though comedian Chris Rock may think that Barack Obama is the “dad of the country,” he most certainly isn’t. And if we think of our presidents that way, we’re likely to stop holding them accountable. Even children of abusive parents love their parents. And even when nearly 7 in 10 Americans believe that the country is moving in the wrong direction, 56 percent of Americans think President Obama’s doing a terrific job.

This means that our government is no longer accountable to us, even in our own minds. Government just becomes a popularity contest rather than a tool for the protection of rights. And our presidents become our parents; our parents become our dictators; and our dictators become unanswerable. It’s comforting to think that politicians care about you, but they’re lying. They don’t. They care about themselves.

And to project daddy and mommy issues onto those we elect is to hand over our God-given rights for the cheap promises of baby kissers.

Although I’ve been vocally opposed to this pipeline, I don’t advocate violent or subversive acts against it. I do, however, encourage those who understand the threat this project poses to openly oppose it, as I and hundreds of others have done. I also

Newton needs fiscal resposibility Recently I read about he Park Board discussing next year’s Fourth of July activities. Two ideas were a beer tent at Agnes Patterson and parking at Memorial Park cemetery for the fireworks.

I wish they would not do either one. There are enough activities in Newton without a beer tent and the fireworks should be enough entertainment. It’s not necessary for the Newton Parks Department to get into the party business.

Aren’t there enough people night after night in the paper being arrested for OWI or public intoxication with the famous “slurred speech and bloodshot, watery eyes?” Wouldn’t it be too bad if people couldn’t go a little

encourage those who are able, to take direct, civil disobedient action against it — even to risk arrest for the cause. I also want to note that the NDN article states, “the equipment is owned by Huston-based subcontractor Pe Ben U.S.A. and Precision Pipeline of Eau Claire, Wis. is running the Jasper County job sites.” At construction sites near Mingo and Colfax, all the vehicles I’ve seen — and all those described by friends — bear out-of-state license plates.

A year and a half ago, Iowa was promised — in exchange for risk to precious soil, waters and farmers’ livelihoods — lots and lots

of jobs for Iowans. That does not seem to be the case right now. It’s not surprising that residents are outraged. I will ask, though, that we not be discouraged from opposing this project. In Nebraska, pipe had already been laid in the ground for the Keystone Pipeline, but opponents there kept up the drumbeat and defeated it.

We can still ensure no toxic crude will ever flow through Iowa. Visit nobakken.com to sign a pledge of resistance against the project, or nobakken.org for information on continuing to oppose and defeat the Bakken Pipeline.

while without a beer?

Parking should not be allowed a Memorial Park. People will be driving all over the gravestones, knocking over urns and damaging them and parking in the grass and on graves. Cemeteries are not playgrounds or parking lots.

I went to the comprehensive plan open house at city hall Thursday to see what some of the ideas were. The last display asked for one word you think of when you think of Newton. I was born and raised here and have lived in town my entire life, and I had a hard time thinking of something to write. Someone had written, “Ready to leave.” Others had “volunteers” or “Speedway.” I don’t think of any of that when I think of Newton. I just think of my family. To me, that’s what is important.

All the latest, greatest and the visions and comprehensive

plans in the world are not going to make people want to come to Newton or even want to live here.

There’s more to it than that. You have to have a reason for living there.

The Newton Daily News reported the United Way of Iowa has found 34 percent of Newton residents and 30 percent of Jasper County residents are living at or below poverty levels and cannot meet basic expenses. The city has raised the tax levy substantially the last three years, the county raised its levy this year, as has the school district. Berg will be built.

Water rates are raising 9 percent.

The property tax notices will be coming the end of August. Residents cannot be expected to pay for all this fever.

Newton needs fiscal responsibility.

Local athlete member of USTA Elite National Team Newton Daily News Local athlete Stacey Slaven, who competes with MAT Tumbling and Trampoline, has accomplished a feat only a handful of other young women have been able to accomplish.

Earlier this year, Slaven competed and qualified for a spot on the USTA’s Elite National Team. This is one of the highest achievements in the sport of Power Tumbling and Olympic Trampoline. The Elite National Team is selected based on finishes at three Team Trials.

More than 100 young women tried out for the team from across the country, only 27 were selected. Slaven is the only athlete selected from Iowa to be a part of the Elite National Team.

Slaven is the seventh to represent MAT Tumbling.

Slaven’s journey began five years ago when she first started with MAT. She began her Power Tumbling career at the Sub Novice level. Through hard work

and a little push from her older sister Stephanie, Slaven was able to work her way up to the Advanced and finally, the Elite level. Once she had qualified for the Elite level, she was able to compete for a chance to be a part of the National Team.

Team Trials is a series of three competitions in which athletes receive points based on their finishes at each of the Trials. The first team trial was in Salem, Ill. Slaven had a great performance and finished the day in 8th place.

The second Team Trial was in January in Rockford, Ill., where Slaven was not able to finish her passes. With only four weeks before the next trial, Slaven put in a lot of time in the gym and worked hard to make sure she would be ready for the third and final team trial in Hammond, Ill. Slaven finished her two passes and was ranked 10th with finals left. She had a strong pass in finals and was able to move up a spot to finish ninth overall, making the USTA Elite National

Boyfriend fights woman’s effort to end her 10-year obsession DEAR ABBY: I’m obsessed with having sex. I can’t stop. Ever since I was 8 I’ve been having sex, and now I’m 18. I have a boyfriend I’ve been dating since I was 8, and we can’t stop having sex. I want to stop, but he doesn’t want to. I keep on doing it because he says if I don’t he’ll leave me. Please help.

What do I do? — OBSESSED IN MIAMI DEAR OBSESSED: There are worse things than losing a boyfriend who threatens to dump you if you don’t have sex with him. Chief among them is having sex with someone because you have been coerced. Because you feel you are “obsessed,” you may have what is called a sex addiction.

Licensed psychotherapists treat people with sexual compulsive disorders, and self-help groups help individuals suffering because they can’t control their sexual behavior. A 12-step program that has been mentioned before in my column is Sexaholics Anonymous, which originated in 1979 and is based on the same principles as Alcoholics Anonymous. Its website is sa.org. Visit it to find a local meeting.

DEAR ABBY: Within the last year, I met an amazing man who is head over heels for me. We were married five months later, partly because he was deploying. I had always dated “bad” boys with commitment issues, but now I have a wonderful husband.

Everything happened so fast. I’m now having to put the career I worked very hard for on hold. I love him very much, don’t get me wrong, but all the drastic changes have me feeling confused and scared. I feel we may have rushed into marriage too soon. Regardless, this is where we are now.

Any insight? — NEWLYWED IN UTAH DEAR NEWLYWED: To be honest, MOST people feel a degree of fear and confusion when they find themselves in unfamiliar territory. On the plus side, you have married a win-

ner after dating a series of turkeys.

Because your husband is deployed, you now have a chance to start evaluating various ways to apply your talents and experience with an eye toward restarting your career or finding a new one. If your husband intends to make a career of the military, research jobs you can do regardless of where he may be posted.

DEAR ABBY: My husband has ongoing relationships with two of his exes’ daughters. One girl’s mother is deceased, and he has been divorced from the other for more than 20 years.

He allows them to call him “Dad” even though they are adults and he has been married three times over.

I don’t understand why he has allowed this to go on, but he blows me off when I bring it up. Am I being petty for having concerns, or should I just let them be? — CONCERNED SPOUSE DEAR CONCERNED: Yes, you are being petty. Your husband may have been the most stable and loving parental male figure in those women’s lives, which is why they still call him “Dad.” Their relationship should not diminish the one he has with you, unless you make them feel unwelcome because of your own insecurity. So put on a smile, set out the welcome mat and befriend them, and I predict you will reap big dividends.

Trump campaign schedules another Iowa visit DES MOINES — The Republican presidential campaign of Donald Trump has planned another Iowa event — his third in nine days.

Trump will hold a town hall Friday in Des Moines. It’s scheduled to begin at 3 p.m. Where it will be held and other details have not been announced publicly. He held rallies in Davenport and Cedar Rapids last week. Trump finished second in the February’s Iowa caucuses to U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, of Texas.

2 Bridge dedicated as memorial to slain Omaha officer

WALNUT — A highway bridge in western Iowa has been dedicated as a memorial to a slain Omaha police officer. The Interstate 80 bridge that carries traffic into Walnut has been named the Kerri Orozco Bridge. A scholarship fund also was announced at the bridge dedication ceremony Tuesday. Orozco was fatally wounded on May 20, 2015, when Marcus Wheeler opened fire on officers who were trying to arrest him.

3 Commercial turtle trapping restrictions proposed

DES MOINES — The Iowa Department of Natural Resources has proposed new daily catch limits and a harvest season for commercial turtle trapping. Earlier this year, the state Legislature passed a bill requiring the DNR to set a harvest season and daily catch limits for turtles to more closely regulate the practice. Reports that the proposal limits the daily catch to 14 snapping turtles, one softshell turtle and three painted turtles. Trappers have been allowed to catch an unlimited amount of certain turtles year-round.

World War II chapel may be moved to museum SIOUX CITY (AP) — A chapel that is one of the last standing remnants of Sioux City’s World War II air base could be moved to a nearby museum.

City officials are discussing the possibility of moving the chapel at the entrance of the Sioux Gateway Airport to the Mid America Museum of Aviation and Transportation, which is also located on the former grounds of the base.

The air base was constructed in 1942 as a B-17 bomber training facility. Three of the base’s original structures remain, and the chapel is the only structure that’s regularly open to the public.

Airport director and assistant city manager Mike Collett says the potential move is something that officials have been eyeing to create more space for possible commercial developments.

“The city has looked at it from a long-term goal standpoint as the best use of that property, but we still want to maintain the historical integrity of that base,” Collett said.

According to Collett, maintaining the structure’s integrity would partly mean keeping the chapel on the premises of the original air base. The chapel would also need numerous up-

WATERLOO — A Waterloo police officer has been charged in connection with what authorities say was a road rage incident last month.

Corbin Allen Payne, 45, faces a charge of assault causing bodily injury, a misdemeanor. According to the newspaper, Payne, a lieutenant with the Waterloo Police Department, accused the driver of another vehicle of cutting off the car he was riding in June 12. Authorities say he struck the other vehicle and grabbed the driver.

Voters reject $3M bond to build YMCA facility

WASHINGTON — Voters in the southeast Iowa city of Washington have rejected a $3 million bond measure that would have helped the YMCA build a new facility. Online records say 445 people voted for the measure Tuesday, versus 1,265 people who voted no. The money would have paid about 30 percent of the expected cost for the new YMCA facility. Fundraising and grants are helping pay the rest.

Two Iowa men drown in Lake of the Ozarks CAMDENTON, Mo. (AP) — Authorities say two Iowa men have drowned in Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks after one of the men began struggling and the other man attempted to save him.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol identified the victims as 46-year-old Dennis Michel, of Ankeny, Iowa, and his brother-in-law, 40-year-old Jacob Seeman, of Woodward, Iowa. The patrol says Michel suffered from an unspecified medical condition Monday morning after swimming out to recover a pontoon boat that had come adrift from a dock on the Big Niangua Arm of the lake.

The patrol says Seeman swam out to help, and both swimmers went underwater. Neither of the men resurfaced. The patrol says the men were recovered after a brief search and pronounced dead.

like that by ourselves, either from the actual physical labor part or from the financial standpoint,” Finley said. “It really has to be a community effort.”

Officials said that any move for the chapel would not affect the St. Stephen the Matyr Anglican Church congregation from meeting on the premises for worship services. The congregation has leased the chapel from the city for about a decade.

City OKs more money to design white-water course

Principal resigns amid questions about teacher

WATERLOO (AP) — Waterloo officials agreed to spend more money to design a white-water course along the Cedar River despite concerns about a lack of money to pay for the project.

The City Council voted 5 to 1 Monday to pay $32,430 on top of the $245,865 original contract with a Boulder, Colorado, company that is designing the project.

The money comes from gambling revenue collected from the Isle Casino Hotel Waterloo that is earmarked for downtown improvements.

It would cost $2.6 million to $4 million to build the course for kayaks, tubes and other water craft through part of downtown. Courses in Manchester and Charles City are popular, but a council member questioned spending money for designs when construction funds aren’t available.

CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — The longtime principal of a Cedar Rapids high school has resigned following questions about his response to an incident involving a substitute teacher charged with having sexual contact with a student.

Ralph Plagman announced Tuesday that he will retire Wednesday after 35 years as principal at Washington High School. Plagman says in a statement that he’s leaving the position at the request of school district officials.

In his statement, Plagman alluded to the case of 24-year-old Mary Haglin, who was charged last month with sexual exploitation by a school employee. Although the district initially barred Haglin from teaching at district schools, miscommunication enabled Haglin to work briefly as an elementary substitute at the end of the 20152016 school year.

Soccer kicks off Rio Olympics Wednesday US women look for gold Brazil’s men go after their first gold in soccer and bring the drama

By Anne M. Peterson The Associated Press While a labor dispute simmers at home, the U.S. women’s national soccer team is set to travel across Brazil as the favorite to win its fourth straight Olympic gold medal.

The Rio Games are happening as a U.S. federal agency looks at a wage discrimination complaint filed by a group of national team players who claim they make less money than their male counterparts. The team’s union also is looking for a new contract with U.S. Soccer.

Intrigue is nothing new for the topranked Americans.

Unlike the men’s tournament, which requires teams to field under-23 squads, women’s Olympic soccer brings together the best players in the world.

Seeking to clinch its fifth gold medal since women’s soccer became an Olympic sport in 1996, the U.S. makes its debut against New Zealand on Aug. 3 — two days before the opening ceremony in Rio. That’ll be followed by games against powerhouse France and Colombia in Group G. Second-ranked Germany, fifthranked Australia, sixth-ranked Sweden and host Brazil loom as potential quarterfinal opponents.

The tournament will be played in seven venues across Brazil, including the jungle city of Manaus, in the Amazon rainforest, where the U.S. faces Colombia on Aug. 9.

Executive producer: Rio Opening Ceremony full of heart

Last year, U.S. players led a protest against the artificial turf used in the World Cup in Canada before winning their third tittle in the tournament.

Heading into the Olympics, the women have been vocal about gender equity in the sport as they seek a new collective b argaining agreement with U.S. Soccer.

On the field one of the biggest issues for the Americans heading into the Olympics was the status of reigning FIFA Player of the Year Carli Lloyd’s right knee.

Lloyd, who wowed fans with three goals in 16 minutes in the 5-2 win over Japan in July’s World Cup final, sprained her MCL in an April game with her club team, the Houston Dash.

The team was cautious with her recovery, but it appears as if Lloyd is healthy and ready to play for her third gold medal.

Lloyd also scored the deciding goals in the gold medal matches in both the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games.

By Leanne Italie The Associated Press

Don’t expect the Opening Ceremony at the Rio Olympics to match the grandeur of some in the past.

But do look for plenty of smiles, scenic depictions of the rainforest and a celebration of the country’s ethnic diversity.

Marco Balich, the Italian executive producer, would not disclose finer details ahead of Friday’s opener, but offered broad strokes on how the host country’s heritage will be honored.

“This is not the most grand show,”

By Tales Azzoni The Associated Press Playing at home, with its biggest star onboard and an unexpected last-minute change at the helm, Brazil is looking to win its first Olympic men’s soccer gold medal in Rio de Janeiro.

No pressure, right?

C o a c h Dunga opted to include star striker Neymar as one of the three over-23 players allowed in the Olympic squads instead of taking him to the Copa America. That plan backfired when Brazil was eliminated

by Peru in the group stage of the tournament being played in the United States. That result prompted the dismissal of Dunga, who was replaced by Tite as the senior team coach.

Dunga was also slated to coach in the Olympics, but now the job falls to the usual under-23 coach, Rogerio Micale.

This will be the third straight Olympics in which Brazil brings some of its best players looking for that elusive gold medal. The five-time World Cup champions failed with a team led by former FIFA Player of the Year Ronaldinho in 2008, eliminated by Argentina in the semifinals, and with Neymar in 2012, losing to Mexico in he said Monday from Rio, though he wouldn’t disclose how much money he had to spend. “This is not an opulent show compared to London or compared to Beijing, but it will be a very emotional ceremony, full of heart and very graceful.”

Balich is an experienced Olympic hand. He created, directed and produced the opening for the Torino Winter Games and served as executive producer of the closing ceremony in Sochi and the Paralympics there in 2014.

In all, 4,800 performers and volunteers will be involved in the show built on three basic “pillars” touching on

the final. Brazil’s men’s team has won the silver medal three times and the bronze two.

The pressure to win gold will be higher after the elimination at Copa America, and with local fans still smoldering from the embarrassing 7-1 loss to Germany in the 2014 World Cup semifinals at home.

Brazil opens against South Africa on Thursday in Brasilia, one day before the opening ceremony in Rio de Janeiro.

Three-time silver medalist Denmark and Iraq are also in Group A. Local organizers will take advantage of the stadiums built for the World Cup, and the Olympic tournament will be played at seven venues, including two in Rio and one in the Amazon city of Manaus.

Stars To Watch: Neymar will be the main attraction, the only top soccer star to make it to the games. The striker is coming off an excellent season with Barcelona and will be rested after skipping the Copa America. Brazil will also have two up-and-coming players who have been targeted by big European clubs: Gabriel Barbosa, known as “Gabigol,” and Gabriel Jesus.

Colombia will feature veteran forward Teo Gutierrez, while defending champion Mexico will count on striker Oribe Peralta, who scored four goals in the team’s winning campaign in London four years ago.

Santos eager to see show Brazil puts on at Rio Olympics ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (AP) — Over the next few weeks, after long days of training camp on the practice fields of Missouri Western State University, Cairo Santos will return to his dorm room and hunker down in front of a TV. He will flip the channel to the Rio Olympics and get lost in the pageantry.

You see, the only Brazilian playing in the NFL is as eager as anybody to see what kind of show his country puts on this August. The kicker for the Kansas City Chiefs knows better than most the many hurdles that have been overcome and the opportunity that Brazil has on the world stage.

“Unfortunately, Brazil has had that image of corruption for such a long time,” Santos said in an interview with The Associated Press. “But we are a country that has a lot of potential to be a great country, and we’re a country that’s fighting to be on the right track.”

The run-up to the Rio Olympics has been dominated by negative news: organized doping by Russian athletes, fears over the Zika virus, polluted water, the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff, venue and housing issues, a noticeable uptick in crime across the seaside city.

Many of these issues, Santos said, have been part of Brazilian life long before Rio

was awarded the first Olympics in South America. It’s just that now the world’s attention is on the city, a glossy facade portrayed by tour operators has been pulled back to reveal a less savory underbelly.

Unemployment is a problem.

So is homelessness, organized crime and other social issues.

“Security is the main concern,” said Santos, who spent time this past offseason in Rio and Sao Paulo, where his family lives and some of the Olympic soccer matches will take place.

“I wouldn’t suggest being by yourself, at night especially,” he said. “The Olympic villages, near Copacabana and stuff, there’s Olympic sites

everywhere. That’s where the action is. Just being around there is the best place, where the police will be — where the crowd will be.”

Like most Brazilians, Santos grew up playing soccer.

He didn’t start playing football until he moved to Florida as a foreign exchange student and his high school needed a kicker, and then he played the “Madden” video game so he could learn the rules.

He was so good at kicking oblong balls through uprights that he earned a scholarship to Tulane.

After winning the Lou Groza Award as the nation’s best college kicker, Santos was signed by Kansas City. The

24-year-old went to training camp in 2014 and competed against Ryan Succop, the most accurate kicker in Chiefs’ history, before eventually winning the starting job.

In his first two seasons, he has made 55 of 67 field-goal attempts and missed just two extra points.

Santos’s success has quickly endeared him to Kansas City fans, but it also has made him a hero in Brazil. Very few people follow the NFL, but those who manage to catch games on satellite TV generally root for the Chiefs because of their kicker.

Santos was mobbed everywhere he went during his trip home this offseason: his elementary school in Brasilia,

the local TV stations where he was interviewed, his first “Cairo Camp” in Sao Paulo.

He even hobnobbed with Brazilian mixed martial arts star Jose Aldo.

Most of his trips took him to the glitzy areas of Brazil, but Santos knows well what the living conditions are like in the many slums — called favelas — that dot the countryside.

He wonders how much of the Olympics will touch the people struggling to make ends meet.

Those images probably won’t show up when he flips on the TV at night at training camp. Instead, he will see the best of Rio — Christ the Redeemer, Sugarloaf Mountain, the panoramic vistas.

Asked what he is most interested in, Santos gave a predictable answer: “I’m always curious about the soccer team.

They’ve never gotten gold.

Hopefully redeem ourselves from the World Cup fiasco (where Brazil lost 7-1 to Germany in the semifinals, then lost the third-place match to the Netherlands).

“But I’m also excited to see how they’ll deal with having the entire world’s attention on us,” Santos said, “and how we’re going to organize such a beautiful event like that. It’s a good opportunity for our country to grow and change our image.”

Earnhardt to miss more races because of concussion CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Dale Earnhardt Jr. will miss at least two more races while he recovers from a concussion.

Earnhardt, who skipped the last three races, will sit out at Watkins Glen International on Sunday and at Bristol Motor Speedway on Aug. 20. Four-time series champion Jeff Gordon, who came out of retirement to fill in for Earnhardt the last two weeks, will remain behind the wheel in the No. 88 Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports.

The team made the announcement Tuesday, saying Earnhardt hasn’t been cleared to race.

“We have a break in the schedule after Watkins Glen, so the extra week of recovery time will certainly be a benefit,” team owner Rick Hendrick said in a statement.

“Dale will be back when he’s ready, and we’re looking forward to that happening, but the priority continues to be his health and well-being.

We’ll keep our focus on that and let the doctors guide us.”

Earnhardt underwent further evaluation Monday at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Sports Medicine Concussion Program.

The driver said on his weekly podcast that he continues to experience issues with bal-

Women’s Continued from Page 1B tore her right ACL during a training session in Hawaii before a scheduled World Cup victory tour match last year (the match was ultimately canceled because of poor artificial turf conditions). The injury required her third ACL surgery.

On her blog, the 30-yearold Rapinoe wrote on June 9: “My Olympic dream is still alive! This blonde ain’t gone!”

And coach Jill Ellis named her to the 18-player squad for the Olympics, a good sign.

But she may not play in the group stage.

Marta’s Moment: Marta is one of the biggest stars in women’s soccer. The 30-year old Brazilian striker was voted FIFA Player of the Year for five consecutive years from 2006 to 2010. Yet despite her success she is not a household name in her country, where the focus will be on Neymar and the men’s squad to win Brazil’s first Olympic gold.

Marta and the rest of the Brazil women’s team will face less pressure to win their first gold than their male counterparts, and the squad should benefit from friendly home crowds.

The woman that Pele him-

Teams To Watch: Defending champion Mexico will field a strong squad, led

by Pachuca striker Hirving Lozano, the only under-23 player on the Mexico team in Copa America. The Mexicans will face Germany, South Korea and Fiji in Group C. Colombia beat the United States in a playoff in March and its squad includes several players from the Copa America squad, including up-andcoming strikers Roger Martinez and Marlos Moreno.

The Colombians face stiff competition in Group B from Sweden, Japan and African powerhouse Nigeria.

ance and gaze stabilization — the ability to focus on an object while he moves his head.

Earnhardt gave no timetable for his return and said doctors have told his concussion occurred June 12 at Michigan International Speedway. He drove three races after that one.

“I’d love to race more,” Earnhardt said on his “Dirty Mo Radio” internet network.

“In my mind, my plan is to race more. I have plans to keep going. I’ll worry about that when I’m well.

“I’ll talk to my doctors and say, ‘What do I have left as far as the racing?’ My doctors are confident that they can make me stronger than I was before this event.”

Gordon subbed for Earnhardt at Indianapolis and Pocono, finishing 13th and 27th. His next start will be the 800th of his Cup career.

Gordon, who turns 45 this week, is NASCAR’s all-time leader in road-course victories with nine, including four at Watkins Glen. He has five wins at Bristol.

self dubbed “Pele in skirt” showed she is ready for Olympic duty, scoring both goals in a 2-0 victory over Canada in Toronto in June.

Brazil faces China, South Africa and Sweden in Group E. Silvia’s Final Bow: One of the game’s most respected coaches will be stepping down following the Olympics. Silvia Neid has been head coach of the German senior team since 2005. During her tenure the Germans won a World Cup (2007), two UEFA women’s championships (2009, 2013) and the Olympic bronze medal in Beijing. Also a decorated former player for Germany, Neid has twice been honored as the FIFA women’s coach of the year.

She will continue as scouting coach for the Germans, while current assistant Steffi Jones will take over as head coach.

Germany leads Group F with Canada, Australia and Zimbabwe.

Canada’s Revenge?: While the London Games showed that Canada is a team on the rise under coach John Herdman, the bronze medalists thought they could have done better.

The Canadians fell 4-3 in an overtime semifinal match to the eventual gold medal-winning U.S. team, a game that featured a non-call on

what appeared to be a missed handball by an American player in front of the U.S. goal.

“We feel like we didn’t lose. We feel like it was taken from us,” said Canada captain Christine Sinclair, who was later suspended four games for her comments. “It’s a shame in a game like that, which is so important, that the ref decided the result before the game started.”

Waltzing With The Matildas: No other Australian senior national team — male or female — had won an elimination game in a World Cup until the Matildas last summer; they knocked off Brazil in the round of 16. While they were defeated by Japan, it was considered a big move toward future success.

Australia went on to earn a spot in the Olympics, its first since 2004, in the Asian qualification tournament. As a result, its international ranking jumped four spots to No. 5.

Australia has never advanced past the quarterfinals in two Olympic appearances.

Group D against Portugal, Algeria and Honduras.

Germany will be playing in the tournament for the first time since 1988, when current U.S. coach Jurgen Klinsmann was on the team.

Brazil and Germany could meet in the semifinals at Maracana Stadium, a rematch of the World Cup semifinal from two years ago when the German senior team embarrassed Brazil at home.

Venues: Soccer is the only competition played outside Rio. The other host cities will be Salvador, Sao Paulo, Brasilia, Belo Horizonte and the jungle city of Manaus.

Rio will host matches in two venues: Maracana, site of the World Cup final two years ago, and the opening and closing ceremonies for these games, and the Olympic Stadium, which will also host the track and field events.

Sao Paulo will host matches at the Itaquerao Stadium, home of the World Cup

opener.

Jungle Olympics: Manaus will be one of the most unique cities hosting soccer matches at the games. Located about 1,800 miles from Rio in the middle of the Amazon rainforest, the city was picked as a host by local organizers even though FIFA said it was not “a suitable first option for a hosting venue.” Rio organizers said they added Manaus in part to “integrate all of Brazil” in the games.

The city will host six men’s and women’s matches in the group stage, including Colombia-Sweden in the men’s tournament and U.S.-Colombia in the women’s.

NCAA accepts Missouri’s sanctions, adds probation KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The NCAA has accepted Missouri’s self-imposed sanctions over infractions involving its men’s basketball program, but it tacked on a year of probation through August of next year.

The NCAA infractions committee panel’s findings over what it said were roughly $11,400 in improper inducements and benefits given to players and a recruit by two boosters were released Tuesday, nearly seven months after Missouri admitted NCAA violations dating to 2011.

Hoping to blunt NCAA punishment, the school announced in January that it was vacating its 23 wins from 2013-14, banning itself from the postseason last season and stripping itself of one scholarship last season and a second scholarship no later

than 2017-18.

The school, while agreeing to pay a $5,000 fine, also permanently banned one unidentified donor who the NCAA said provided impermissible benefits to three players and one recruit in 2013-14. The benefits included compensation for work not done at a business through a summer intern program, along with housing, $520 cash, local transportation, iPads, meals and use of a local gym.

The NCAA concluded that a second booster also provided impermissible benefits to 11 men’s basketball players and three members of a player’s family. Missouri has said those benefits included reduced rates at a hotel along with meals and a boat ride, and a student manager also provided transportation for multiple players to the hotel from the campus.

“The message is Brazil has the last garden in the world, which is the Amazon, and we need to protect that garden,” Balich said. “This is a message of hope for the future. This is not a message of ‘oh the world is going to terminate because of global warming.’”

Other strong elements will include a celebration of Brazil’s ethnic diversity and its rich music, from bossa nova to “hippy-hoppy,” as they say in Portuguese, Balich said. And, of course, there will be a touch of Carnival. He’s using some of the same costumers around Rio who design for Carnival.

fair. There will not be a large volume of fire as an intentional show of small and low emission, organizers said. To frame the small flame, a large sculpture by the artist Anthony Howe will appear behind it, symbolizing the sun. It will be set in motion with spirals representing life.

The idea of the opening, always, is to showcase the host country’s culture, something that has earned oohs and aahs through time, usually also accompanied by some head-scratching as traditions and history play out.

“We are going back to humanity. We’re going back to people. The audience here, as soon as they hear the music, you stand up and dance,” Balich said.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).
