Special council meeting to discuss airport, city admin search

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Newton City Council will hold a special meeting to discuss a potential airport advisory board and the search process for a new city administrator. The meeting will be held at 6 p.m. on Monday in city council chambers at Newton City Hall.

At a previous workshop session, mayor Mike Hansen told council he had been approached by a couple of groups of people at different times about the city not having an advisory board for the

Newton Municipal Airport. He said he took it under advisement the first time he was contacted, but after being approached on a second occasion, he decided it was time for the council to get involved.

The council will begin reviewing what an airport advisory board could look like for the city. It will also get feedback from those working and conducting business at the airport and those involved with the airport, on how they think city should proceed.

NPD Citizens Police Academy ready for 20th year

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Citizens Police Academy is getting ready to begin the 2016 session. The eight-week long program hosted by the Newton Police Department begins Sept.

13 with classes scheduled from 6 to 9 p.m. every Tuesday evening through Nov. 1.

The NPD is continuing with a format it introduced last year, getting the participants more hands on experience along with classroom education.

“It is much more hands on,” Lt. Bill Henninger said. “We got

a lot of feedback that the course was nice but can we do more hand on stuff like stopping vehicles, felony traffic stops, firearms and defensive driving.”

The academy is for those 18 or older. If someone is interested who is younger than 18, they must be accompanied by a parent and the decision to let them in is at the discretion of the police chief.

The course schedule remains similar to last year with the first week introducing the group to aspects of what it takes to become a police officer. Training officers get from the academy

will be discussed along with in-house training at the department. A tour the department will also be given.

The second week brings the class to the Iowa Speedway where they will begin with slower activities such as backing and parallel parking, which make up many of the accidents local officials respond to. Participants will then get the chance to work on high-speed activities including “chasing” a police vehicle on the in-course at the track.

Not the average night stand Former Newton resident creates line of concealment furniture

By Savannah Eadens Newton Daily News A former Newton resident and Maytag employee has created a company with a new line of unique furniture that cannot be found at any normal home goods store.

Creative Designs by Logan is a concealment furniture line started by Dan Claypool. With a background in business operations, Claypool created the line based in St. Louis, Mo. in honor of his grandparents who shared his passion for hunting and the

The new “Chriswell” line in honor of his late father-in-law, has a concealment night stand and end table. Claypool said although the intent of this type

of furniture is to keep guns and families safe, not every customer necessarily uses their furniture to hide weapons.

NCSD board to consider culture survey

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The Newton Community School District Board of Education has very few items on the agenda for Monday’s regular meeting.

One of the main items on the agenda for the meeting, to be held at 6:30 p.m. Monday at the Beard Administration Center, is a discussion of the Denison Culture Survey implementation to certified staff. The board voted previously to implement a teacher survey at the end of September. Board member Donna Cook said at the board’s July 25 meeting she’d like to have the board members see the results at the same time as teachers and administrators.

Chris Pierson of the Heartland Area Education Agency and Su-

perintendent Bob Callaghan will lead M o n day’s discussion.

There is no specCallaghan i f i e d district cost for the survey mentioned in the packet for Monday’s meeting.

Some 28E agreements will also be addressed Monday.

The board will consideration development and submission of the district’s 2017 legislative priorities. A detailed list of the Iowa Association of School Board’s 2017 priorities is included in Monday’s packet, with one of the top items calling for “adequate and timely funding.”

In Brief

Local student graduates from Grinnell College GRINNELL — Lauren Roush graduated from Grinnell College on May 23 as one of 378 members of the class of 2016. Roush earned a Bachelor of Arts degree with honors in studio art.

Roush also was the recipient of the Inez Henely 2014 Memorial Prize in Art, Henry-York Steiner Sutdio Art Prize.

Roush is the child of Mr. Christopher V. Roush and Mrs. Regina Y. Roush, of Kellogg.

Conservation camp ‘draws’ youth to artwork Drawn to Nature class involved art creation

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A day camp held in late June marked the first time Jasper County Conservation had offered a nature-inspired art camp. If the turnout and enthusiasm is any indication, “Drawn to Nature” will be back in the summers ahead.

“For the first year, it was a success,” said JCC naturalist Katie Cantu, who ran the late-July camp. “I wanted to use a variety of materials and be able to complete everything over the span of two days.”

About 12 late-elementary-age youth participated in the camp, which used art supplies to create animals and other elements either for or representing nature. Over the course of two days, the youth created several projects that they could take home.

“Projects were chosen by myself on what I felt the kids would be interested in and would work well for this particular age group,” Cantu said.

Cantu had some help from talented sources.

Aided by Sommer Kibbee of Art Junkie, the young artists painted on canvas, with made cement leaf castings, created paper mâché animal heads to hang on the wall and painted bluebird houses.

“We were very excited that Sommer could do this for us and the kids agreed they liked her session of painting on canvas the best,” Cantu said.

Recent Newton High School grad Victoria Jordan volunteered to help with the camp and shared some of her sketches with the kids.

“We walked over to Maytag Park and worked on our own outdoor sketches,” Cantu said. “Victoria also happens to be a very talented artist herself, and led a session on sketching with the kids.”

Cantu said both Jordan and Kibbee volunteered their time with the camp. Kibbee did charge JCC a small fee for materials.

She also said the youth made more than 100 clay “seed bombs” — clay balls filled with prairie seed.

Jasper County Conservation will hand these out at its annual “Off the Beaten Path 3K Fun Run and 6K Trail Race” this fall. Participants will be asked to throw the seed bombs out into the park as they walk or run the trails.

Two locals earn Wartburg College diplomas WAVERLY — Wartburg College awarded diplomas to 331 students during Spring Commencement Sunday, May 22.

• Hannah Long, of Newton, graduated Cum Laude with a degree in Accounting and Business Administration. She is the daughter of Jim & Sherri Long.

• Terri Sallis, of Newton, graduated with a degree in Social Work. He is the son of Sandra Pearson and Terry Sallis.

Another 41 students are expected to graduate in August. Thirty-five members of the Class of 2016 graduated in December.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Young artists participated in a Jasper County Conservation nature-inspired art camp in late July.

At the table on the left are Amelia Brown and Joel Brown; with their backs to camera are Nevaeh Bown, left, and Logan Bown.

“The clay will eventually break apart, and prairie seed will grow wherever it lands,” Cantu said.

Cantu said a generous donation from Newton Noon Kiwanis helped offset JCC’s costs of materials.

Noon Kiwanis sponsored all of its summer camps this year, allowing the staff to expand the typically offerings.

“I was amazed with the creativity and enthusiasm in each project,” Cantu said. “We would love to have another group or business offer to sponsor next year’s camps so we can keep programs like this going.”

The council will also begin the process of searching for a new city administrator by discussing its preferences for a consultant for the search.

While city administrator Bob Knabel has not given an official retirement date, he did announce his intentions to retire in the next three to nine months.

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

Furniture Continued from Page 1A “We have a lot of customers that have told us they use the concealment furniture for other purposes, like keeping remotes in the end table,” Claypool said.

“The products are really geared toward anything the customer wants.”

Claypool also said although national companies and associations like Bass Pro Shops and the National Rifle Association have shown interest in his products, the company will likely stay local to the St. Louis area and online until next year.

“We’re not the only ones making these, there are definitely other companies that were first to the market, but our [furniture pieces] are unique,” Claypool said. “There’s a growing need for people in our country to feel comfortable and safe in their homes. There’s definitely been a growing security in the past eight years and a higher demand.

B e c aus e of the extra viClaypool olence, t h e r e is a comfort for many people in a home when there is a firearm, or whatever it may be, that is quickly accessible.”

A gun enthusiast and an avid hunter, Claypool grew up in Northwest Iowa and attended the University of Iowa. His family lived in Newton from 1990 to 2006 and he was a director of demand management at Maytag for 10 years before the company was bought by Whirlpool in 2006. He then worked as a director of demand management in sales and operations at Whirlpool. He was then a vice president of planning and customer service at Furniture Brands International, and has been the owner/CEO at Merric Millwork and Seating since 2012. Claypool’s

wife was a director of finance at GenAir for 14 years and as his “better half,” now helps him with the companies they own.

“My manufacture and sales background was definitely beneficial,” Claypool said. “With having the Merric company also, there was a perfect marriage of design and engineering background for Creative Designs by Logan. From a professional perspective though, I really grew up at Maytag. I learned dependability, ethics and quality. I was a part of the team when Maytag created the Neptune washer and dryer series where I learned innovation in creating a product no one else had. The things I learned there really stuck with me and made me who I am today. Newton is a great little town, we hated to leave.”

The volunteer staff gain insight into what citizens are thinking about the police department and see citizens in a positive environment instead of a negative one.

“It is a good inroad to the community for people to actually see what it is we go through and what cops experience,” Henninger said. “People make connections for life. We make connections for life. I still see people that went through more than a decade ago that went

through, it is definitely a good thing.”

The NPD is hoping to keep the class size to 20 people or less. Applications are available at the police department, by emailing Janet Cox at janetc@newtongov.org or online at www.newtongov.org. The deadline for applications is Aug. 15. For more information contact the department at 641791-0850.

American pie T

here’s something special about baking a pie — the work, the time, the history — but do you know what’s even better than making a pie?

Eating a pie. And do you know what’s better than eating a pie? Eating 15 pies.

That was the task at hand one Friday last month when I had the pleasure of guest judging the Park Centre Pie Baking Contest to conclude their Summer Fest.

I was joined by three fellow guest judges Newton Fire Marshal Mike Knoll, retired NPD lieutenant Leland Groves and physical education teacher Pete Westerkamp, and the four of us were faced one job — to determine the best of 15 homemade pies.

One by one the slices were brought to our table — blueberry, lemon,

www.newtondailynews.com |Friday | Aug. 5, 2016

Write On Kate Malott pumpkin, apple, cheery, peach, etc.

Some were traditional, some were new, and it was interesting to see what everyone came up with.

All the pies were exceptional in their own way whether it be in the crust, flavor, texture, presentation, or so on.

The winner was Jane Kunkel with a pecan pie, and second and third place went to Stacy Madole and the health center staff with a peanut butter and another pecan.

These residents are skilled and professional bakers. I have a lot of notes to take, and baking to do, to get near their experience.

It was a delight to participate in this fun event and see some dear friends.

My favorite pie was the real pumpkin made by Robert Dowling. I was

happy to meet him afterward because, although his pie didn’t make the top three, the pie texture and taste were outstanding. Robert made the pie for his wife who used to be their family baker but now Robert took on the job, which reminded me that for many, pies are personal.

Life services director Alayna Bailey acted as host and read off pie facts to the large audience that afternoon.

• Apple pie is the most preferred pie in the United States (19 percent) followed by pumpkin (13 percent), pecan (12 percent), banana cream (10 percent) and cherry (9 percent).

• In the 19th century, fruit pies were a common breakfast food eaten before the start of a long day.

• 47 percent of Americans would use the word “comforting” to describe pie.

The art of making pie is a learned one. It comes from experience, memories and mainly love.

To share with someone a piece of pie is to share with them your heart.

What goes into a pie is thought, time and likely more than just a recipe but a memory.

My grandma June Kosmach was more of a cake person, her girls say.

Carrot cake and pineapple upside down cake rank as her best, but when it came to pies, she was a crafty meringue maker. Homemade lemon meringue, banana cream and coconut cream were most memorable.

My grandma Elaine Malott was more of a chef than a baker, but she too certainly knew her pies. Pumpkin or pecan were polled as my families favorites.

Those pie baking memories came back quickly and vividly, my uncle said.

What I learned from the pie contest is that each pie is an original. Each baker tells their own story, an individual history, through their choice of pie, which together represents our strangely diverse culture.

So Anyway Dana King

What have I created?

Most parents are familiar with those times you’re so proud of your kids, you just fill with pride. Maybe a teacher tells you about an act of kindness your kid displayed at school of which you were completely unaware. Perhaps someone lets you know how polite and respectful your kid was when they visited with them in the store one day. Ahhh, yes. We’ve successfully accomplished the greatest job we’ll ever undertake by raising these wonderful human beings.

But how about the times we see a trait in one of those same kids and question what on God’s green earth have we created? I’m referring to “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree” affliction.

My girl-child, Avery, and her fiancé had plans to bring their dogs to our place so we could puppy-sit while the two of them enjoyed an extended Fourth of July weekend. The first night she was going to stay with us, while fiancé would spend a night in Des Moines with his friend. The following day they were to drive to northwest Iowa where they’d stay with my future son-in-law’s family. She had it all planned out.

And therein lies the problem. SHE had it planned out.

Avery is a teeny-weeny bit like her mother. She and I like things to run on a schedule. We like everyone to follow through with their part of our agenda.

We like to know in advance if and when spontaneity is planned.

And for her, there is also one cardinal sin thou shalt not mess with in any way, shape or form — her brothers, of whom she is fiercely protective.

So anyway...

My college-kid, Carson, was going to take care of Avery’s cat during their holiday. After clocking out from his 16-hour work shift at midnight their first night way, and with only seven hours until he was to be back at work, he drove the 45 miles from his job to her house, to find fiancé had neglected to follow Avery’s directions and leave a key to the house as instructed. Oops. Carson was locked out.

Fiancé had not only failed to stick to the “plan” by leaving a key, he had also innocently committed the above mentioned sin. To Carson, it wasn’t a big deal, just an inconvenience. No harm done. But to his older sister?

Let’s just say fiancé was the recipient of plenty of fireworks that July Fourth weekend from my girlchild ... well, it was actually more like dozens of those little ash “snakes” that slowly and quietly burn, because, again, she is like her mother and goes for the “silent treatment” when she’s angry, figuring the point will get across even louder.

Even when he called her to apologize, as well as send an “I’m sorry” text to her, she said it didn’t seem like he was sorry enough.

It took her the better part of two days to forgive him but harmony was restored.

I just had to smile, turn my back, roll my eyes and shake my head. What have I created!

Capitol to Corndogs Clean 5K Run

Club Notes Kellogg Garden Club The Kellogg Garden Club members toured local gardens at their recent meeting. The tour included visits to the gardens of Pat Patty, Carolyn Myers, Louise Meakins and Tina Mulgrew.

Following the tour members enjoyed a salad supper at the cabin in Holmdahl Park. Members extend appreciation to Jack Myers, Bob Rubel and Mel McCarthy for installing coat hooks and washing windows at the cabin.

The August meeting of the garden club will feature a tour of the historic gardens of Living History Farm Aug. 23.

DES MOINES — The Green Runners of Des Moines will lead a run at 6 p.m. Aug. 15 from the State Capitol to the Iowa State Fair, collecting trash along the way.

The event is free and the first thirty-five runners to sign up will receive free admission to the State Fair and a free beverage from the Budweiser tent. This marks the fourth year the event has taken place.

The event brings together Keep Iowa Beautiful, the Iowa State Fair, Doll Distributing and the Green Runners of Des Moines with the shared goal of raising awareness about litter prevention and keeping

both Iowa and the Iowa State Fair clean. The run combines the opportunity to improve your health and the health of the neighborhoods by cleaning up litter along the route.

“The Iowa State Fair is one of the cleanest in the nation. Efforts over the past 10 years with the Fair, KIB and the waste agencies that service the Fair have made significant changes in the appearance of the State Fair” Executive Director of Keep Iowa Beautiful Gerry Schnepf said.

There is still a need to bring attention to the litter that occurs as people leave the Fairgrounds and travel through the

Community Calendar

adjoining neighborhoods. This partnership supports existing efforts by the Iowa State Fair to be a good neighbor and brings attention to the public the importance of keeping the Fair and the state clean and beautiful.”

Runners should plan to arrive around 5:30 pm in running attire on the South side of the State Capitol. Bags and personal items will be transported to the State Fair from the Capitol.

Bus rides are available at no cost from the State Fair to the Capitol. To sign up for the Capitol to Corndogs Clean 5K run, email Rachel at rachelmscheib@gmail.com.

Lottery Thursday Midday Pick 3: 4 3 5 Pick 4: 0 3 9 7 All or Nothing Game: 2 3 4 5 8 10 14 15 16 21 22 24

NBC says negative stories raise Rio awareness, help ad sales at a pace about 20 percent above the 2012 London Games, and is holding back inventory for additional sales. The network hit its internal target weeks in advance, and often that doesn’t happen until after the games start, if the target is reached, he said.

NBC Universal Chief Executive Officer Stephen Burke has already predicted that he expects Rio to be the most profitable Olympics in history.

NBC, which paid $1.2 billion for the broadcasting

rights to Rio, made money from London, too.

The London Games were a huge success for NBC, which averaged 31.1 million viewers across two weeks of prime-time coverage. In today’s fragmented television world, nothing can come close to gathering such a large, diverse audience for that length of time.

NBC Universal spreads its Olympic coverage across 11 television networks and is streaming all of the competition online.

But roughly three-quarters of its ad sales come for the prime-time telecast on the broadcast network.

“We are hitting on all cylinders,” Winter said.

NBC will begin its prime-time coverage with an hour-long preview Thursday night, and will televise the opening ceremony on Friday.

Winter said viewers will see some political advertising during the Olympics, but he wouldn’t specify which campaigns have bought time.

Man’s cold reaction to wife’s miscarriage adds to her pain DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Rob,” and I are at odds and your response may affect whether we stay together or not. I had a miscarriage a week ago. I was only seven weeks pregnant, but it was still something real for me.

My husband’s niece’s birthday was over the weekend. I made it clear that I didn’t want to drive (three hours!) and be around people after what happened.

When he told me it didn’t matter, that it was his niece’s birthday, I lost it on him. After driving him to his sister’s, I left and drove myself home.

He says I’m overreacting and said that I was OK with it earlier in the week. I explained how hurt I was that he’d insist on going and also that he couldn’t stand up for me and explain that I was too emotional and upset to attend her birthday. He can’t grasp why I’m so hurt by this. AM I overreacting, and am I crazy for feeling the way I feel? — FEELING DOWN IN THE SOUTH DEAR FEELING DOWN: I’m sorry for your loss. You’re not overreacting and you’re not crazy. However, some people are unable to grasp how deeply a miscarriage in the early months of a pregnancy can affect the mother-to-be psychologically and physically. Unfortunately, Rob appears to be one of them.

You didn’t mention whether you told your sister-in-law why you didn’t feel up to celebrating, but if you didn’t, you should have because she probably would have understood and let you off the hook. You also should have stayed home, not driven six hours round-trip to drop Rob off in your fragile condition.

If this continues to cause problems in your marriage, perhaps your clergyperson (if you have one) or a marriage counselor can help you get the message across to your husband.

DEAR ABBY: When I invited

a family member and her family for dinner, she asked what I was serving.

When I told her, she said, “My kids won’t eat that,” so I ended up making a different meal that met with her approval.

It was annoying, and I thought she was very rude. I can’t imagine saying something like that to someone who is preparing food for me.

This is a family member, so I can’t just write them off, but do you have any witty responses should this happen again? — DISGUSTED IN CALIFORNIA DEAR DISGUSTED: I agree it’s rude for guests to ask a host what will be served, unless there are allergy issues to be considered. As far as what to say to your relative, I have a couple of suggestions. Neither one is “witty.”

The first is: “Fine. Bring food your kids will eat or I’ll thaw them some frozen pizza.” Or, if you’re feeling brave, say: “I’m serving (blank), so hire a baby sitter. That way, the kids can have what they’re used to and we’ll have an enjoyable adult evening.”

P.S. It is not child abuse for parents to introduce children to different foods by telling them to taste it because they might like it. And if they don’t, they won’t be forced to eat it. That’s how they learn.

DIKE — A sheriff and sheriff ’s deputy from different Iowa counties are being hailed after helping deliver a baby on the side of an east-central Iowa highway. The roadside delivery happened Wednesday along U.S. Highway 20 just east of Dike.

Penning says fire and ambulance crews were dispatched to the scene.

Money raised to throw K-9 a retirement bash

SIDNEY — A former manager of the Fremont County landfill in southwest Iowa has been accused of stealing from it.

Online court records say 31-year-old Dusty VanRenan is charged with two felonies: theft and ongoing criminal conduct.

He didn’t immediately return a message left for him Thursday at a phone listing in Percival. His attorney declined to comment. A state auditor’s investigation says VanRenan used a country truck to haul pallets he sold for recycling in Council Bluffs.

COUNCIL BLUFFS — An online fundraising campaign has raised enough money to throw a retirement bash for a western Iowa police force’s lone K-9 officer. The party planned for Aug. 12 at Council Bluffs Community Hall will fete 6-year-old Willy, who joined the Council Bluffs force in 2011. Organizers say on their gofundme web page that Willy’s service is equally deserving of recognition as that of any other police officer.

5 Burlington father convicted in baby’s death seeks new trial

BURLINGTON — A Burlington man convicted in May of manslaughter in the death of his 22-day-old son is asking for a new trial. A judge will hear 24-year-old Randall Payne’s request during an Aug. 26 hearing. In his request, Payne says prosecutors failed to turn over key evidence until midway through his trial. Payne believes the evidence, which includes photographs detailing the injuries of the infant, could exonerate him.

US, Canadian soldiers train in interior Alaska Iowa National Guard playing role of enemy in training scenario ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — Soldiers from U.S. and Canada have spent much of the last few weeks engaging in war games in expansive interior Alaska, with Iowa National Guard personnel playing the role of the enemy.

Arctic Anvil, which ended this week for about 5,000 soldiers and support personnel, was the largest training held in Alaska in the last 15 or so years, said Brig. Gen. Martin Frank, a member of the Canadian Army and the deputy commanding general for U.S. Army Alaska. He is the first foreign officer to serve on the U.S. Army Alaska staff.

Among those training were 140 soldiers from the Third Canadian Division, a light armored vehicle company, Frank said.

“We’ve also got about 800 folks from the Iowa National Guard that are participating

in the exercise who are playing the role of opposing forces,” he said.

Also on hand were observers from partner nations Japan and Singapore.

The exercise tested the soldiers against two kinds of opponents, insurgents similar to what the forces faced in Iraq and Afghanistan and more traditional foes.

Frank said the troops have to maintain their skills with fighting insurgent forces.

“But we also have to be capable of defeating a nearpeer enemy who might be equipped with tanks, with unmanned aerial vehicles, with aircraft, with all the things that we have so that we are ready to fight and ready to win regardless of what kind of opposing force or kind of adversary we come against,” Frank said.

The exercise was intended to prepare the 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 25th Infantry Division at Fort Wainwright, near Fairbanks, for an upcoming rotation at the National Training Center at Fort Irwin, California. The training also included sol-

Mental health march to the Capitol set for Sunday Newton Daily News A march to the Iowa State Capitol, set to begin in downtown Des Moines, has been planned for Sunday afternoon to help bring awareness to the amount of available mental health services in Iowa.

The Mental Health March to the Capitol is set to begin at Cowles Commons, located between Locust and Walnut streets and between Third and Fifth streets.

Marchers are asked to meet at the commons at 4 p.m., with a march toward the west steps of the capitol set to begin at 5:30 p.m.

The march is being organized by Drake University student and activist Zac Campbell. Information is being distributed by the National Alliance on Mental Illness-Iowa.

diers from the 52nd Aviation Regiment.

Frank called the exercise a success. “I’ve seen an exponential increase in the capability and the readiness of the 1st Stryker Brigade, and in large part this is due to the

command climate, the perspective of the commanders on the ground, and the soldiers on the ground, wanting to learn, wanting to become better,” he said.

DES MOINES (AP) — After a task force said it intends to recommend that Polk County raise the minimum wage to $10.75 an hour by 2019, the discussion on whether to implement that change appears to be headed to the county’s individual cities.

Christina Moffatt, regional director of the Small Business Development Center in Des Moines, said she expects small businesses to get more involved in the discussion as well. Moffat said that she believes the county is trying to do the right thing, but she fears

that it will force businesses already financially struggling to raise prices and wages for all workers.

People who aren’t satisfied with the wage plan can take their cases to local city governments and urge them to opt out of the proposed wage increases.

The task force informally agreed to incrementally raise the minimum wage Monday.

The task force has also showed support for a wage for employees who are 17 years old and younger. Under the youth-worker wage,

those employees would earn 85 percent of the local minimum wage. State law applies the minimum wage for workers 14 and older.

Iowa League of Cities executive director Alan Kemp says possible wage increases in several counties are causing a new kind of tension for city-county relationships.

Kemp says a county could write a minimum wage ordinance that could apply to all cities, or the ordinance could require all cities to opt in to the policy.

“I think we’re going

to see immensely more chaos at even a more micro-city government or municipality-level than we’re seeing at the county,” said Jessica Dunker, a minimum wage task force member and president and CEO of the Iowa Restaurant Association.

Dunker said she is hopeful that the proposed April date for the increment to raise the minimum wage in the county will give the Iowa Legislature enough time to take up the issue. She say that cities still must be prepared if the Legislature doesn’t act.

Celebrating benefits during Breastfeeding Week

By Becky Pryor Jasper County Health Department Jasper County Health Department, along with numerous other agencies, collaborated on the Maternal and Child Taskforce with the goal of prevention of child abuse.

Research indicates that breastfeeding a baby decreases the risk of child abuse. This week celebrates World Breastfeeding Week. Breastfeeding helps make babies and moms happier and healthier according to research.

Research on breastfeeding indicates the numerous benefits. Many families indicate they breastfed because it is free and easy. Studies indicate the numerous differences in breast milk and formula. The cells, hormones and antibodies in breast milk protect babies from illness. This

protection is unique and changes to meet your baby’s needs. According to medical research studies suggests that breastfed babies have lower risks of: asthma, leukemia, obesity, Crohn’s Disease, ulcerative colitis, ear and respiratory infections, eczema, allergies, bacterial meningitis, digestive and intestinal problems, Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), type 2 diabetes, girls risk of breast cancer later in life, cavities, jaw and mouth development issues, rheumatoid arteritis, inguinal hernia, cardiopulmonary disturbances.

Not only that other positive health benefits include higher IQ, natural immunities, better vision, speech development, social development, hand eye coordination, bonding, enhances vaccine effectiveness and breast milk contains no geneti-

cally engineered materials.

Breastfeeding helps a mother’s health and healing following childbirth.

Breastfeeding leads to a lower risk of these health problems in mothers such as type 2 diabetes, certain types of breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancer, better bone density, less depression, more self-confidence, less likely to abuse children, helps prevent post-partum hemorrhage, less anemia, faster weight loss, decreases insulin requirements for breastfeeding mothers and breastfeeding can be a natural contraceptive. Society benefits overall when mothers breastfeed. Breastfeeding saves lives, money, less missed days of work and better for the environment.

Wrestling to use Rio Games as showcase for changes in sport The Associated Press

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Ashley Carter is Newton High’s head volleyball coach for the 2016 season. Carter, who is in her second year of teaching at NHS, helped with the Cardinal program a year ago when former head coach Laura Sherratt was on maternity leave.

Ashley Carter is all in as new Cardinal volleyball head coach

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Ashley Carter is 5-feet-3 inches tall.

“If you play volleyball, you can hit the ball. We hit the ball at our players. Boxes are our friends,” Carter said.

Carter has that “All In” philosophy as Newton High’s new head volleyball coach. The second-year NHS social studies teacher was named to the position in May. She and her coaching staff of assistant coach Courtney Allen, junior varsity coach Kristina McNew and freshman coach Mallory Sturtz have worked with the Cardinals this summer in open gyms.

“We had a great turnout to open gyms this summer. We had open gyms twice a week in June then went to four times a week in July,” Carter said. “The girls lifted with Cardinal Power during the summer. We averaged 25 to 30 girls for our open gyms. It was great to see that many girls choosing to come in and work.”

Carter, who graduated from Oskaloosa High School, knew she wanted the head coaching position at Newton when the job came open. She helped out with the Cardinal team last fall when former head coach Laura Sherratt went on maternity leave as the 2015 season began.

“I was the seventh-grade volleyball coach here last year until they asked me to fill in for Laura,” Carter said. “Helping with the team last year allowed me to sample the head coaching job before I was it. When Laura decided to step down, I knew I

wanted it. It was fun, and I loved working these kids.”

Carter played as a back row specialist for Oskaloosa High School, but was sidelined with a hip injury as a senior. She played a season as a libero for William Penn University in Oskaloosa before a double hip replacement ended her playing days.

“It was sad for me when I couldn’t play any more. I love this sport. When I was in high school, I was the kid thinking about when practice would begin each day,” Carter said.

Following William Penn, Carter said she was in graduate school at the University of South Dakota in Vermillion, S.D., for awhile.

She said she had plans to work in politics but decided it wasn’t for her. Carter said she returned to Iowa to finish her teaching degree and taught three years in the Prairie City-Monroe district before accepting the teaching position in Newton last year.

“I know these kids not just from volleyball but from the classroom also,” Carter said. “I see them each day throughout the school day, which is great.”

The Cardinals recently finished fourth in a 17-team competitive team camp at Simpson College in Indianola. They are headed to another competitive team camp at Central College in Pella this weekend.

“We played really good volleyball at the Simpson camp.

These competitive team camps are set up like tournaments. The Central camp will have more and bigger teams than the Simpson camp,” Carter said. “I went to these camps when I was in

Rowing was big in 1936 Olympics W

e all know what the great Jesse Owens did in the 1936 Olympics in Berlin. Were you aware of a great accomplishment on the water by the United States men’s rowing team in 1936? Did you know rowing was a big time spectator sport in the 1930s?

I wasn’t aware of the “Boys of ‘36,” and no I did not know how popular rowing events were in the 1930s. In a PBS American Experience episode this week called “The Boys of ‘36,” I learned about the remarkable University of

high school and remember how beneficial it was to hear the same things my coaches were talking about from another coach.

“Plus, we are playing volleyball every day at the camp. We played 37 sets of volleyball during the Simpson Camp. We had a team meeting with the Simpson head coach who reinforced the concepts we as a coaching staff were telling our players.”

Carter said the Cardinals are building positive team climates and team cultures. She said they are a goal-oriented team.

“It’s about being ‘All In’ for us this season. You are always giving your best, always going after the ball and always trying to get better. We focused on this during our open gyms,” Carter said. “The way the kids played at Simpson showed how excited they are about the season.”

Newton finished 16-19 in 2015 and went 1-5 in Little Hawkeye Conference match play. The Cardinals open the 2016 season at home on Aug. 23 in the Newton Invitational.

“The ultimate goal as a team is to be in Cedar Rapids in November in the state volleyball tournament,” Carter said. “We’re instilling in our players to if they are on the team to be here and all in every day at practices and in matches.”

Carter and her husband Jason, who is a science and math teacher at Berg Middle School, have three children. Jason Carter is an assistant coach for the NHS boys’ basketball and golf teams.

PBS premiered “The Boys of ‘36” in conjunction with the Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro and the 80th anniversary of the miracle crew’s triumph against all odds in Nazi Germany. At each Olympics from 1920 to 1965, the United States was represented by crews from various colleges and won the men’s eight event.

My experience with rowing came in Kansas when two individual girls from Iola High School — neither had any rowing experience — went to Kansas State University and made the Wild-

Three years ago, the wrestling community was forced to contemplate life without the Olympics.

Now back on the program, the world’s oldest sport is hoping that the Rio Games can be a showcase for everything that’s changed since then.

The IOC’s surprising decision to leave wrestling out of the Olympics after one final appearance in 2016 turned out to be the proverbial “kick in the pants” the sport suddenly realize it needed.

Wrestling quickly mobilized by restructuring its once-woeful international leadership, implementing new rules to emphasize scoring and embracing gender equity by adding two new women’s weight classes.

The IOC took notice, returning wrestling to the Olympic roster just eight months after kicking the sport out in 2013.

Here are some of the key story lines to follow as wrestling gets ready to celebrate its resurgence in Rio: Medal Favorite American Jordan Burroughs might just be the best wrestler in the world.

He’s hoping to remove any doubt when competition begins Aug. 14 in Rio. Burroughs burst onto the international scene in 2011, winning a world title just six months after leaving the University of

Nebraska. He went on to win gold in Rio and two more world championships, and Burroughs is the clear favorite in the 74 kilogram freestyle division.

It isn’t just Burroughs’s talent that’s made him a star. His electric wrestling style and his charismatic persona have made him one of the faces of the American team — at a time when the sport desperately needs a cross-over star.

Returning Stars Women’s wrestling has only been in the Olympics since 2004.

Japan’s Kaori Icho and Saori Yoshida have dominated the sport as thoroughly as any athletes in the world since then.

Icho and Yoshida each won Olympic gold medals in 2004, 2008 and 2012 and should be favored to make it four straight in Rio. Icho, a 10-time world champion, lost her first match in 13 years earlier this season — though largely because of an injured neck. She’s expected to be healthy for the Olympic meet.

Yoshida is the most decorated athlete in the history of freestyle wrestling and was ranked first at 53 kilograms in United World Wrestling’s most recent rankings. But American Helen Maroulis, the world’s best at 55 kilograms, could give Yoshida her biggest Olympic challenge yet.

cat women’s rowing team. I did several stories on the two as they worked their way up from the novice eights to the variety eights. One of the girls was a varsity rower and the other became a varsity coxswain — the lightweight person sitting in the front of the scull (boat) and calling directions to the rowers.

Newton High’s Kaelee Knoll signed this summer to row at Wichita State University in Wichita, Kan. So, rowing is hitting right here in Newton.

In 1936, there were no scholarships for rowing at the University of Washington, but the rowing team was good.

It won the U.S. Olympic trials, beating more experienced U.S. university crews. The group of nine — eight rowers and a coxswain — working-class young men set sail with the U.S. Olympic team for Germany.

The story of these young men is

told in the PBS program, which was inspired by a Daniel James Brown book on the 1936 Olympic gold medal rowing team. The story is of sons of loggers, shipyard workers and farmers and their trimuph against Adolf Hitler’s elite German rowers.

Find “The Boys of ‘36” on PBS and watch it.

The 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio are underway with soccer starting on Wednesday. The U.S. women won their opener. Don’t look for a U.S. men’s soccer team — it didn’t qualify for the Olympics. The opening ceremony is Friday.

You’ll need to find a chart to find out which sports are on what television channel. I want to find sports other than the basketball games, so I’ll be hunting through channels.

NBC gears up for Olympics with exhaustive coverage plan NEW YORK (AP) — NBC’s plans for the Olympics in Rio over the next two weeks define the term “exhaustive.”

The network, its cable sisters and Olympics website plan 6,755 hours of coverage through the Aug. 21 closing ceremonies in Rio de Janeiro. Obsessive fans have plenty of viewing options, since every Olympic competition will be available live online along with the popular events airing in prime time on NBC. That includes Friday’s opening ceremony, which is oddly being aired via tape delay despite Rio being only one hour ahead of Eastern time in the U.S. Bob Costas is the prime-time host for his 11th Olympics, and his continuity defines NBC’s coverage. While there are new wrinkles every year — Ryan Seacrest hosts a new late-night show, Mike Tirico joins from ESPN — the NBC playbook and personnel remain very consistent. NBC’s 170-member broadcast team includes a stable of former athletes, including swimmer Rowdy Gaines, gymnast Tim Daggett and diver Laura Wilkinson, that has combined for 59 Olympic medals.

NBC executives strongly believe in how they cover the Olympics, particularly the menu of sports offered on the network each night, and consider the events’ ratings strength is a public endorsement. The company paid $1.2 billion for the broadcast rights.

The opening ceremony will be delayed an hour before being shown on NBC because the network wants the entertainment spectacle, which was seen by 40.7 million people in 2012, to be shown completely in U.S. prime time.

NBC was also reportedly upset that because the Portugese language is being used for the parade of nations, the U.S. team (or Estados Unidos) will file into the stadium relatively

Golden rule: For US relays, holding onto baton is job No. 1 PRAIRIE VIEW, Texas (AP) — The smartest minds in American sprinting have spent years trying to solve the riddle of why, as often as not, U.S. relay teams have struggled so mightily to get the baton around the track when the stakes are highest.

Leave it to the Jamaican, Usain Bolt, to come up with what might be the most plausible answer: “They tend to panic.”

The American sprinters are gathered this week at an Olympic training camp outside of Houston, once again trying to create chemistry and find answers to a problem that never really goes away.

Eight times since 1995, the American men have either been disqualified or failed to get the baton around the track at the Olympics or world championships. The women, who set the world record in the 4x100 at the London Games, aren’t immune to the butterfingers, either. They’ve mishandled the exchange in two of the last three Olympics. And at last year’s world championships, in the 4x400, where the pass shouldn’t be a big deal, a bobble cost them the gold.

The key to changing that dynamic: “I think just being relaxed,” said Tyson Gay, who helped the Americans get the baton around four years ago, only

to cost them the silver medal because of a doping violation. “No pressure, just relax. That’s all I think.”

If only it were that simple.

In a sport built on individual accomplishments, the relay is that singular opportunity for the country that routinely wins the most medals in track to show that it can, in fact, function like a team.

Since 2008, that pressure has been coupled with the fact that Jamaica — while not as deep across the entire scope of track and field — has the fastest man on Earth.

“When you’ve got Michael Rodgers standing in the third relay zone and Jamaica and us are shoulder to shoulder and he’s looking at Usain Bolt on the anchor leg, that’s going to impact your athletic performance,” said Duffy Mahoney, chief of sport performance for USA Track and Field.

Last year at world championships, Gay and Rodgers mishandled the final handoff and the exchange came outside the legal passing zone. It disqualified the Americans and sent Bolt on what could’ve been a jog to the finish line for the gold.

Asked to explain Jamaica’s baton strategy, Bolt said there was no magic to it.

“We know the key thing is just

to get the baton around,” he said.

“Because with the U.S., we know we always have the best team, and they tend to panic. Pressure gets to them sometimes.”

Bolt doesn’t have to be on the track for things to go bad.

In 2004, then again in 2008, the U.S. women mishandled the baton in the 4x100. The 2008 miss, combined with a botched exchange between Gay and Darvis Patton in the men’s race, contributed to the United States being shut out of gold medals in all six sprint races for the first time in Olympic history. That led to a top-to-bottom overhaul of the way the U.S. handles relay training, which now requires sprinters to attend training camps and participate in a number of relays before the Olympics.

When things hit on all cylinders, the results can be incredible. In London four years ago, the team of Allyson Felix, Tianna Madison (now Bartoletta), Bianca Knight and Carmelita Jeter ran the oval in 40.82 seconds to break a 27-year-old world record.

And when they don’t, the second-guessing begins.

“The closer the race, the more pressure it puts on the athlete,” Mahoney said. “Sometimes, no matter how well-prepared they are and how good they are, things happen. It’s sports.”

early.

In what is becoming an Olympics tradition, the run-up to the games was filled with foreboding stories: the Zika virus, polluted water, security concerns. HBO’s “Real Sports” aired a thorough investigation last month into the International Olympic Committee and demands placed on host countries, but don’t expect something similar on NBC. The network plans to address many of the issues unique to Rio early, perhaps in a one-hour preview scheduled for Thursday night, but will turn to the competition unless something unusual happens.

“I think when people are tuning in to watch the Olympics, they’ll want to watch the Olympics,” said Jim Bell, executive producer of NBC’s Olympics coverage.

Unlike previous Summer Games in Europe, Asia and Australia, the Rio games provide NBC a favorable time zone allowing it to televise many events live in swimming and track and field. With only a few exceptions, those sports — along with gymnastics and volleyball — get virtually all of the attention on NBC’s prime-time broadcast.

The rest of the sports are spread across 10 other networks, many with particular specialties.

The Golf Channel, for example, concentrates on the Olympic return of its namesake sport. NBC executives expressed disappointment that several of the world’s top golfers, including Jason Day, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy,

are staying away from the event because of concerns about the Zika virus, and suggested they’d someday regret it.

Bravo will be the Olympic home of tennis. NBC is also setting up speciality channels for both basketball and soccer, although those sports will also be shown on other networks.

The NBC Sports cable network will be the busiest, airing 330 hours of Olympics programming covering 20 sports. On most days of the games, NBCSN will air Olympics coverage from 8 a.m. to midnight. Other coverage will be spread around CNBC, MSNBC and USA. Telemundo and NBC Universo will narrate events in Spanish, focusing on sports and athletes popular in Latin America.

NBC, which likes to use the Olympics as a laboratory for new technology and ideas, will also distribute 83 hours of coverage in the 4K Ultra HD format.

Once again, the NBC Olympics website offers live streams of every competition. To access this material, a customer must validate an account with a cable or satellite provider.

The attention speaks to the huge economic opportunity the games provide NBC in a fragmented media world. NBC is betting, and in fact has advertised the Olympics, on the idea that viewers can use a pick-me-up from a drumbeat of bad news.

“There’s been a lot of tough things going on in the world,” Bell said. “I think it will be nice, fingers crossed, if we can have a couple of weeks to give people something to cheer about.”

Wrestling Continued from Page 1B Gray’s Day? An American woman has never won a gold medal in wrestling.

It would be a major surprise if Adeline Gray doesn’t break through in Brazil.

Gray, 25, has already won three world championships — including in 2014 and 2015. She also went unbeaten in a startup pro wrestling league in India, won the Olympic test event ahead of the Rio Games and cruised to first at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials. Gray will enter the Rio meet on a 37-match win streak against a field that doesn’t look as imposing as some of the other divisions.

The Field Russia, the world’s best wrestling team until proven otherwise, went largely unscathed following doping charges that rocked their nation. Sixteen of the 17 wrestlers who qualified for Rio will get to do so — and the biggest challenger to Burroughs in the argument over the world’s top wrestler would likely be 20-year-old Russian sensation Abdulrashid Sadulaev. He’s already won two world championships at 86 kilograms freestyle. ...Kyle Snyder became the youngest world champion in U.S. history in 2015 and held off 2012 Olympic gold medalist Jake Varner to earn a spot on the team headed to Rio. He’ll be among the favorites at 97 kilograms.

Rules Changes The biggest changes newcomers to the sport will likely notice will be aesthetic. The mats have been changed to a darker shade of blue with an orange ring around the circle, so fans can better differentiate scoring moves. Countries have also been given the chance to design their uniforms around their national flags, rather than stick to the classic blue and red singlets that often made it tough to tell which wrestler was which. And, perhaps most importantly, there will be just two three-minute periods, and the scoring will be cumulative in an effort to encourage wrestlers to keep attacking rather than simply sit on a lead.

If the Venus change-up rocks your boat, just remember that there are very positive things to be done with so-called “negative” emotions. The trick is in channeling feelings like anger and sadness in a way that makes the most of them while processing them through our lives. A little anger or sadness can aid in making certain judgment calls.

in 2017 and you’ll be free to launch into a new adventure

by March. Dividends will come in August. Capricorn and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 1, 18 and 45 ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Pursue what you need if you know what that is. If not, let your feelings teach you as they pull you in surprising ways.

They are trying to clue you in to what might lead to joy and fulfillment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have experience in controlled chaos and will be the one in charge of looking

out for your people while they try to complete a mission, have a little fun and/or get inspired.

Your awareness will make all the difference.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Your beliefs are essential to your daily actions, habits, attitudes. Have you figured out which one is getting in your way? Poke around in your own systems and thoughts. Bring your beliefs into question. One needs to go.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Review the last four weeks.

What worked and what didn’t?

There’s a chance to quickly and easily step out of an arrangement that’s simply not going to get you where you want to be.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you can travel, do it. If you can’t, then reading, movies or high-quality conversations with people who’ve lived in places foreign to you will work almost as well to ignite your passion.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

When you understand your own feelings, you understand the feelings of others. Taking a moment to ponder your own emotions this evening will help you be a good friend later this month.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The people you know expect you to behave in a particular way, but you’re in a mood to try something new. This will be much easier to pull off in a crowd

that doesn’t know you yet.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’ve given a super-star performance, and you’re ready for a break. When the attention is diverted from you, you’ll consider it a pleasant change and a chance to relax.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You see no harm in making another person feel good, even if it means laying it on a bit thick with compliments that aren’t exactly well-deserved.

Of course, the closer you can stick to the truth, the better.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A lot of workers never get thanked for their contributions.

So when you turn this around by acknowledging those who

SM-NE1589479-0810

REAL ESTATE

help you, you build confidence, morale and loyalty at once.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Empathy is the first step.

Then again, what’s the point of knowing how another person is feeling if you don’t know what to do about it? Don’t worry.

You’ll learn from others today and gain emotional intelligence points.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’re in an action-oriented mood so you’ll set goals and look for ways to keep doing better. You’re committed to taking initiative. You have no idea how inspiring you are to those around you.
