Expectant moms who choose Skiff to deliver their babies will soon have access to a brand-new choice: Newton Clinic is adding a midwife to its roster of providers.

Certified nursemidwife Lacy Lundgren joins Newton Clinic on Sept. 1, which is, appropriately enough, Labor Day. She’ll be transitioning from Lundgren working in Des Moines, in a move that brings her closer to her childhood home of Pella, while keeping her in a career she loves.

Newton,” Lundgren said, “and I was hoping to find some place closer to build a practice. I cold-called Newton Clinic to see if they had any opportunities and everything just fell into place.”

“We haven’t ever offered midwife services as part of our OB program,” said Clinic Administrator Mark Thayer. “It was a very interesting concept, though, so I went to our OB doctors to see what they thought of the possibility. They approved it unanimously.”

As far back as anyone can recall, this will be a first for the hospital, as well.

“I don’t recall ever having midwives deliver babies at Skiff,” said Vickie Schut, RN, who has been with Skiff for 34 years.

“I think it’s going to be a great fit. She’s really nice.”

As a part of the revitalization of Newton, the city asked locals to participate in a National Citizens Survey, ranking the livability of the town.

Between April 21 and May 5, a total of 1,200 randomly selected Newton households received the survey and 317 were completed and returned.

The results were discussed at the recent City Council meeting.

Eight indicator areas were used to gauge the public’s feelings on the town. They included safety, mobility, natu-

ral environment, built environment, economy, recreation and wellness, education and enrichment and community engagement.

Of those areas, safety, economy and community engagement were picked as areas of emphasis for the town. Citizens had the ability to rate the categories as excellent, good, fair or poor.

First discussed were the areas citizens found Newton to be strong with excellent or good percentages higher than 50.

More than half of the nearly 3,000 students in the Newton Community School District qualified for free or reduced lunch during the 2013-2014 school year according to the Iowa Department of Education.

Just a decade ago that number was at 31.6 percent. The rise in the number of families needing to utilize the program hasn’t only been an issue in Newton — it has grown into a national epidemic.

In response, the National School Lunch program — a program that is under the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food and Nutrition Service umbrella — created the Community Eligibility Provision for schools beginning this school year.

Schools that meet CEP requirements, can offer all students free lunch. To meet this requirement, a school building must have at least 40 percent of its students qualify for free lunch.

Larger school districts across the country have taken advantage of this new program. In July, Des Moines Public Schools announced that 35 of its schools will give all students free lunch, and the entire Kansas City and Hickman Mills school districts, both in Missouri, announced all students would eat for free.

This summer, every child in Newton had the opportunity to receive a free lunch courtesy of Newton’s free Summer Lunch Program at Berg Elementary School.

Code violations, code enforcement and cleanliness were concerns that also had high negative percentages.

71 percent of citizens ranked the Overall Reputation as fair or poor with only 30 percent of people seeing Newton as a excellent or good place to visit.

The area with the highest negative percentage was street repair, with 36 percent at fair and 52 percent at poor. Only one percent ranked it as excellent. Street cleaning, snow removal and sidewalk maintenance were also areas of concern.

Newton has taken part in three other surveys since 1995, two conducted through Iowa State University and one by the city itself. Since 1995, every category has declined significantly, but there are signs of improvement.

In the categories of Newton is a place with a bright economic outlook and overall appearance of Newton, there is an upward trend of approval.

All of this information will be used by the city in its fall planning session as well as its continuing efforts to make Newton a destination for new residents, businesses and tourist.

at 78 percent and 72 percent of citizens said they had visited within the last year.

Last, health and wellness had 57 percent excellent or good and 12 percent poor. Affordability of healthcare, availability of paths or walking trails, fitness opportunities and quality of city parks all scored high percentages in the health and wellness field.

On the opposite end of the spectrum, the survey found several areas that are not satisfying the needs of residents. Those categories are economic development, appearance, reputation and street.

The overall economic health had a 79 percent negative rating with employment opportunities being a big concern. Shopping opportunities, quality of Newton businesses and services, the downtown district and quality of new development in recent years were all areas that scored lower than the national benchmark.

“Some of these items we are already starting to work on. With Main Street we’re working on the downtown. With some of these challenges, we just need to keep moving forward in the direction we have identified (on items) that need to see improvement and also think about what else we can do,” Umsted said.

Local residents prepare for Monroe Old Settlers Days

By Kate Malott Daily News Staff Writer It’s that time of year again. The 118th annual Monroe Old Settlers Days is happening this weekend and the Monroe Old Settlers Committee is ready to go.

This year’s theme is “Road Trip to Home Sweet Home” which is fitting for the event because Old Settlers Days is a prime opportunity for former Monroe and Jasper County residents to come home.

“Everybody comes back,” said Liz Hormann, Old Settlers Days committee treasurer and former chairwoman. “It’s a reunion really. It’s a time we all band together, help each other out, and it’s nice to see familiar faces.”

The two-day event will include many favorite activities including a tractor show, parade, sand volleyball tournament and the Monroe Annual Micro Marathon 5K scheduled for 7 a.m. Saturday at Red Rock Park.

The organizing committee has also scheduled two bands to perform on stage for the event. Farm Rock will begin performing at 8:30 p.m. Friday on the Monroe Square and Hot Rod Chevy Kevy at 8:30 p.m. Saturday. Farm Rock is a new country and rock band from Iowa that performed last year at Old Settlers Days.

Hot Rod Chevy Kevy is a classic rock band that performs music from the 50s and 60s. In its years of experience, the group has played with rock legends such as Chuck Berry, Bobby Vee and The Drifters.

New this year is the Mutton Bustin’ race at 7 p.m. Friday at Madsen Field. The race is similar to a rodeo but instead of cattle it’s to see who can stay the longest while riding a sheep.

Submitted Photo Steve and Linda Hewitt were crowned as the 2013 Monroe Old Settlers Senior King and Queen last year.

The Monroe Old Settlers Days Committee works together each year to organize and prepare for a successful, fun and family-friendly celebration. Many volunteers have been involved with the planning for numerous years, while some faces are new to help.

“The young have taken over and they’re doing lots of great things to boost the town,” Hormann said. “We appreciate what they’re doing, and I want to let them know they’ve done an awesome job.”

“Old Settlers gives friends and family of the community time to gather all in one location to socialize, and enjoy a great family friendly atmosphere for which all ages can enjoy,” Monroe resident Nate Bradbury said.

Bradbury has lived in Monroe for eight years, is a new member to the Monroe Kiwanis and is an Old Settlers volunteer who said he and the people of Monroe look

forward to the event each year.

“From the children’s dance and cheerleader performances, live bands each night, watching the local volunteer fireman have water fights, and watching the best parade in Jasper County, it is hard to say which one event I look forward to the most,” he said.

All-day activities include arts and crafts displays, bingo, raffles, food stands, rides and a car show. A schedule of other weekend events is as follows: Thursday 7 p.m. slow pitch tournament Friday 6 p.m. children’s parade 6:30 p.m. water fights and double horseshoes 7 p.m. sand volleyball games and Mutton Bustin’ 8:30 p.m. Farm Rock Saturday 6:30 a.m. Methodist Church Pancake Breakfast 8 a.m. Monroe Annual Micro Marathon 5K 9 a.m. children’s sports and sand volleyball tournament 9:30 a.m. tractor show 10:30 a.m. 3-on-3 basketball tournament 11 a.m. pony rides Noon watermelon feed 1 p.m. PEO memorial service and cribbage tournament 3 p.m. tractor show and car show awards 7 p.m. parade 8:15 p.m. parade awards and raffle winners 8:30 p.m. Hot Rod Chevy Kevy 9 p.m. teen dance Call (641) 259-2319 for more information.

Main Street hosts economic restructuring speaker Jamee A. Pierson Daily News Staff Writer Local business owners and residents were invited to a presentation by Jim Thompson, of Main Street Iowa, Wednesday evening at Uncle Nancy’s.

Thompson spoke in several areas such as how to help grow businesses and how to take advantage of marketing opportunities, such as Facebook.

“When you roll into other Main Street towns I hope that you notice they have improved their property and worked on their business mix because that is what we are going to be assisting you with in the future,” Thompson said.

He named several external factors that effect local businesses. Economic conditions, demographic changes, consumer behavior and technology innovations all change the landscape of how businesses need to run and market for their clients.

“Facebook is becoming a major tool,

but many businesses are using it for their business like their personal sites and that will not work,” Thompson said. He continued that Facebook can be a data port to the business website, which is where any transaction has to take place. With a large number of people checking Facebook more than once a day, if used appropriately, having a page can leave people feeling in the know and updated on what is currently happening in the store.

Another major factor he named was customer service. If people are in the store, with their money, you need to take care of them and give them a positive experience.

“Old school customer service means taking care of customers where they are, not where you want them to be,” Thompson said.

Time is also very important to people and they don’t want it wasted. Making a store accessible and ready to serve will help people feel their time is well spent.

If they don’t feel that way, it is too easy to

just pop on a website and have the item delivered to their house.

Shifting gears, Thompson spoke about “experience cramming” which is when people go on a trip and try to pack as much of the area into their visit as they can.

Communities need to market the variety of activities they can offer throughout the day to keep a visitor busy. His example for Newton was visitors to the Iowa Speedway. Many people come and experience the speedway but what else can attract them into Newton to fill their whole day and how can they find that out.

Some other topics he touched on were older generations vs. younger generations, shop local programs, aesthetics of businesses and surrounding areas, staying ahead of trends and niche marketing programs.

It’s time for men, colleges to step up During my senior year of college, the big news in Iowa City was “the campus grouper.”

A male subject would lurk in the shadows on paved trails and University of Iowa streets at night, surprising unsuspecting females passing by and touching them inappropriately.

In my investigative journalism class, a brave and perhaps slightly naive college decided to entrap the grouper for a story she was crafting regarding sexual assaults on college campuses.

Her thought was to recreate the scene, walking alone in grouper’s last

By Mike known whereabouts – Mendenhall attempting to draw out Daily News Staff Writer and expose the subject.

Although tenacious and well-intended, needless to say the 20-year-old’s plan concerned her fellow students and professor. But, she had a point to prove: No matter what you’re wearing, no matter what time it is, no woman should have to be afraid of what or who’s behind the corner.

The grouper was eventually caught by the UI Police Department after several months of investigating. But the campus was shaken.

Today, sexual assaults on college campuses are on the rise. Last week the UI announced a video-based training program for students, aimed at spotting potential domestic and sexual assaults. The university also has plans to add lighting to darker areas of campus, enforce harsher penalties on offenders and create more support groups for victims.

July 30, a bi-partisan group of U.S. senators announced the introduction of the The Campus Safety and Accountability Act. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) is a co-sponsor of the bill which aims to better define college campus procedures when dealing with sexual assaults. The bill also outlines different methods of coordination between campus officials and law enforcement agencies.

The New York Times blog “The Upshot” criticized the bill Aug. 1, writing it “relies on public shaming of colleges.” The bill would create a public database compiled by student surveys. Although columnist Anna Bahr does admit the results would likely show 1 in 5 women are sexually assaulted on campus, she is still unconvinced the bill has any teeth.

Regardless of its effectiveness, or its ability to pass through both gridlocked houses of congress, the bill shows at the very least recognition from our leaders — and some male leaders —of the problem.

But it starts with us. Stopping sexual assaults on women starts with fathers and brothers and uncles and grandfathers, teaching young men that sexual assault is always wrong. This may seem like an obvious notion, but the statistics show it’s happening everywhere. Until we as men of this nation begin having an honest conversations about the equality of our female counterparts, it’s never going to stop.

It’s time we stop saying “she never should have been out at 2 a.m.,” or “she should have worn a less revealing outfit.” There is no excuse for taking advantage of or forcing a woman into a sexual situation. There is never a justification for this. A victim is a victim.

As we send our daughters and sisters to school this fall, we need to continually push our colleges and leaders to take action to stop the violence.

Another View

The other immigrant youth crisis Senator Ted Cruz says that eradicating an executive decision he blames for creating the humanitarian crisis on the border is his top priority. And lots of conservative members of the GOP are on board with the Texas Republican’s demand.

They argue that President Barack Obama’s Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program has led Central American children and their parents to believe the U.S. govBy Diana Anahi ernment will OtherWords grant them “amnest y” once they set foot on American soil.

Hispanic Youth and the Dream Act But those assumptions are clearly wrong.

DACA, now entering its third year, is only for youth between the ages of 15 and 31 who arrived in the U.S. before June 2007 and before they turned 16. And it’s not a form of amnesty. The program only grants youth the right to live and work legally in the United States for renewable twoyear periods.

Additionally, experts agree that violence back home, not the promise of amnesty here, is the force pushing most Central American child refugees to head toward the United States.

Nevertheless, the GOP’s push to roll back DACA’s benefits for undocumented youth who grew up in the United States has forced the House to leave town without addressing the refugee crisis in a meaningful way.

This marks the second year in a row that GOP extremists have

thwarted a vote on an immigration bill. What’s behind the inaction? Conservative Republicans know little about the lives of the immigrant youth they want to deport.

Take the following stories as examples of what it’s like to walk in the shoes of youth eligible for relief under the anti-deportation policy.

Miguel Tapia, a 17-year-old Mexican-born youth who considers himself American and sees his Delaware community as home, was 13 when he found out what it means to be undocumented.

His parents explained that even though he had lived in Delaware since he was 2, he couldn’t get a driver’s license, apply for a federal student loan, or work legally in the United States.

“Why am I a 4.0 student at the top of my class?” The teen recalls asking his mother, feeling defeated. “In the end I’ll be working as an undocumented immigrant, at a job that pays minimum wage.”

Beatriz Felix, a 20-year-old Mexican immigrant who has lived in Alabama since she was 2 and speaks English with a Southern drawl, faced equally demoralizing circumstances.

After graduating from her Alabama high school with great grades, Felix realized that she couldn’t continue her education without going out of state. An Alabama bill signed into law in 2011 banned all undocumented students from her state’s universities and she couldn’t afford the cost of attending an out-of-state college.

Their prospects changed when Obama launched DACA. “Something as simple as getting a driver’s license became possible and I could start thinking more long-term about my career goals,” said Tapia, who is

applying to college this year.

To Felix, DACA meant that she could finally work legally and afford to go to college near her family.

More than 550,000 other young adults have found themselves in Felix’s and Tapia’s shoes.

But if Senator Ted Cruz and his group of supporters got their way, all of this could quickly disappear.

These English-speaking, college or high school-educated, American-identifying youth would remain stateside. This is their home, after all — but they would have fewer opportunities to contribute to their American communities.

The young immigrants would lose their right to pursue professional careers and no longer be able to help add more than $329 billion and 1.4 million new jobs to the U.S. economy by 2030.

They would also lose many small privileges that currently allow them to participate in their communities as mentors, math tutors, teachers, or public health advocates.

Republicans can’t solve the current border crisis by eliminating the deferred action program, as the GOP-led House just voted to do. Rather, the lives of DACAmented youth and the lives of the children who are currently streaming across the border shed light on a larger immigration crisis that exists in the United States.

How many more immigration crises will it take before Congress recognizes the imperative need to pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill in this country?

To the editor, As an employee of the Jasper County Recorder’s Office I would like to give some insight into working with Denise Allan and her work ethic in the recorder’s office.

Denise worked in the auditor’s office for 20 years, and has a wealth of knowledge she has carried over to our office. She worked with the public and also assisted the abstractors and attorneys. She worked with legal descriptions and transferring parcels of land. She also worked with the surveys submitted for recording and understands the legal descriptions.

Denise came to the recorder’s office three years

ago and dug her heels into our busy season from the get go. She was and is interested in every aspect of our office and works well with the employees. It is important to Denise to understand, not only how something is done, but why it is done that way.

Denise is a compassionate person when working with the public to assist their needs. I have seen her go the extra mile to find the answers for the customer even when their questions are not directly associated with our office procedures.

It is my opinion that she would be a knowledgeable recorder and continue to serve the public of Jasper County in the very best manner possible. Her dedication to the county and our office has been proven time and time again.

Midwife Continued from Page 1A Lundgren’s personality — easily described as warm, humorous and compassionate — is one of several strengths she brings to her profession.

She also has a solid educational background, having received her master’s in nursing and worked as a labor and delivery nurse for five years before pursuing training as a midwife.

“My grandmother was a nursing assistant and she always said I should be a nurse,” Lundgren said.

“From an early age, it was something I knew I wanted to do.”

Lundgren attended nursing training at the University of Dubuque and her birth — and babyrelated rotations — labor and delivery, mother/baby, neonatal intensive care and pediatrics – “cemented in my mind which area I would specialize in,” she said.

Following graduation, she and her husband Andy, who had been her high school sweetheart, moved to Chicago. There she worked in labor and delivery for half a decade at a very busy hospital, where patients only had the choice to deliver with a physician. Overall, it was a good experience, but she didn’t necessarily like some of the statistics she encountered. “Some months, there was a 70 percent Csection rate,” she said.

When Lundgren was expecting their first child, she opted to go a different route than the one she’d been observing professionally. She chose a midwife.

“My experience was just amazing,” Lundgren said.

“She listened to me and gave me choices.”

The positive feeling surrounding the birth of her son Isaac, now 2, confirmed for Lundgren something she’d been considering for a while: She wanted to train in midwifery.

“I realized what a great fit it would be for me,” she said. “I had the right medical background, plus the hands-on experience as a nurse. I already knew how to listen to women and respect them.”

Lundgren arranged to be the student of her own midwife, which meant training in a very holistic, but also hospital-based setting.

“That was ideal for me,” Lundgren said. “People make these assumptions that midwives and hospitals are mutually exclusive, but that almost couldn’t be farther from the truth. Of midwife-assisted births, 95 percent take place in a hospital. Only the remaining

5 percent happen at home or in a freestanding birth center.”

Another misconception is that choosing a midwife means going without other medical interventions.

“I want whatever my patients want,” she said.

“There is a full spectrum of options when it comes to delivering a baby. It’s not just choosing between being reclined on a hospital bed with a physician delivery or laboring at home with a midwife. There are a lot of points between those two. There are women seeking something in the middle, and that’s what I consider myself – ‘the middle.’ If my patient wants to deliver on hands and knees or side lying, I will make those arrangements. If my patient wants an epidural, I will advocate to get her that epidural. This is their experience.”

From their very first appointment with Lundgren, patients will notice a difference from the typical OB experience. To start, although Lundgren in a Newton Clinic employee, she will see patients at NewCare Health Services, 315 W. 3rd St. N. The beautifully renovated, spacious setting will be a welcoming environment in which patients are seen during appointments that are longer than those in a traditional clinic setting.

“That’s one of the hallmarks of midwifery,” said Dr. Stephanie Bantell, who provides family practice and OB services at Newton Clinic. “Because their practice is strongly focused on mothers and babies, they are able to dedicate additional time, during both prenatal exams and the labor and delivery process itself. I think patients will very much appreciate having another female provider, as well as access to the benefits of the midwife field, which complement the physician services we already have. We’re excited to welcome her on board.”

Lundgren is already looking forward to collab-

orating with the providers of both Newton Clinic and NewCare, knowing that their expertise will come in handy.

“My OB population has low-risk pregnancies,” she said. “I consider myself a specialist in normal. That means I know exactly when something is wrong.

I will not hesitate to turn to the OB doctors when my patients need me to.”

The same goes with non-pregnant patients.

While Lundgren provides wellness care for women of all ages, she emphasizes her gynecological services, including pap smears, STD screenings and annual exams.

Lundgren greatly enjoys the postpartum portion of her services, which includes breastfeeding support and pediatric services through the first year of life.

Lundgren will see patients in the clinic full days on Wednesdays and Fridays, a schedule that will allow her quality time with her family, which most recently expanded to include 9-month-old daughter, Emily. She will be on OB call for Skiff Medical Center three to five days each month, plus one weekend, but plans on attending the delivery of each of her patients, regardless of the day, barring something unforeseen. This will become even easier when her family relocates from Altoona to Newton, which they plan on doing soon.

“The whole time we were in Chicago, we knew we wanted to eventually move back to central Iowa,” she said. “I’ve enjoyed my time working in Des Moines, but I’m particularly excited for this transition to Newton. I grew up in a small Iowa town and I’m eager for my children to do the same.”

Appointments are now being scheduled for Lundgren, who will start seeing patients in September. To learn more, call (641) 7910790 or visit www.newtonclinic.com.

LaVera Continued from Page 1A third-degree sexual abuse, two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, two counts of invasion of privacy and attempting to entice a minor under 16.

According to court documents, after LaVera was arrested for enticing a minor he admitted to touching the 14-year-old victim in her vaginal area. The victim told investigators he performed a sex act without her consent.

Further, LaVera is accused of using his smartphone to video a 12-yearold victim taking a shower and using the bathroom. Another charge of sexual exploitation of a minor names a 14-year-old victim who was filmed using the bathroom.

The new charge for enticing a minor was filed by Newton police, who determined LaVera had communicated with a 14-year-old via Facebook and met her at Berg Middle School and Maytag Park.

LaVera was initially charged in June after police say he claimed to be an actor from the “Twilight” movie series and used his alleged celebrity status to entice a 14-year-old girl to a park in Baxter after having sexually explicit conversations with the teen on Facebook.

While at the park, LaVera is accused of touching the teen inappropriately and then luring her into

Lunch Continued from Page 1A kid’s lunches and 300 adult lunches were served and they averaged around 60 meals given out per day.

This year’s program ran from June 9 until July 31. This was the fourth year the district operated the program.

In a past interview, Croson said they began the program to ensure that students were continuing to be fed over the summer break, and that it was in response to the district’s growing free and reduced lunch rate.

Croson said she would support the district implementing CEP in some of its schools, but it’s currently not feasible.

“I have looked at the all-student free lunch program and at this time our directly certified free students isn’t high enough for us to implement this program without losing several thousands of dollars monthly,” Croson said.

his vehicle. He allegedly drove her around Baxter until concerned family and friends, who had reported a kidnapping, were able to stop the vehicle and get the girl out of the car.

When stopped by police, LaVera was found with a sword longer than 8 inches hidden in the driver’s side door jam, which was within the defendant’s reach. LaVera also had four double-edged daggers in the vehicle’s center console within his reach.

LaVera was also charged with failure to have a valid license while operating a motor vehicle.

LaVera’s visits to two Newton schools in May — Berg Middle School and Aurora Heights Elementary — prompted the school board to examine its visitor policy. During those visits LaVera was accompanied by parents of three students and followed current visitor procedures.

While at the schools, LaVera performed stunts, signed autographs and posed for photos that show him with teenage girls. A subcommittee was formed to review the visitors policy and is expected to give a recommendation to the school board.

A pretrial conference scheduled for Wednesday was continued because the new charges that were filed.

LaVera remains in the Jasper County Jail on a $60,000 bond.

Contact Editor Abigail Pelzer at (641) 7923121 ext. 6530 or apelzer@newtondailynews.com.

According to IDE, only two schools — Berg Elementary and Basics and Beyond Alternative School — in the district are currently qualified to participate.

However, IDE also indicated that more than 30 percent of students qualify for free lunch in nearly every school in the district.

The only exception was Newton Senior High School, for which there was no data available.

“If our verified free students increase in the next few years we may offer this program at that time,” Croson said. “If in the future we do decide to implement the program, it would have to be approved by the school board and an application process would also have to be approved.”

The only other schools that are above 30 percent in Jasper County are Colfax-Mingo’s elementary and the middle/high school.

Battle of the sexes over sex ignites feedback from readers DEAR ABBY: I just finished reading the letter from “Pressured” (April 23), the wife whose husband keeps track of how often he and his wife have had sex and his determination to have sex 100 times per year. She was wondering if this is normal.

I can tell her that my former husband thought we should have sex five times a week. He kept a calendar of when we had sex that also included who initiated it. I explained to him that I was more than willing to have frequent sex, but that he also had to be an attentive, caring husband.

Our marriage counselor believed he was suffering from obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression and was probably a diagnosable narcissist. Surprise, surprise!

He pronounced our marriage counselor to be inept and divorced me.

“Pressured” says she has a good marriage, so I assume that means she has a caring husband. I would advise her to do her best to enthusiastically and creatively meet his needs. Most men express love and feel loved by having sex. Scorekeeping could be his ineffective attempt at communicating his need to feel loved. — THE EX-MRS. DEAR EX: Thank you for writing.

The saying “men are from Mars, women are from Venus” aptly applies to the responses I received from my readers about that letter. Read on: DEAR ABBY: Most guys may keep track of how often they’re having sex, although more likely it’s how long since the last time, or maybe how many times a week. But this guy is an idiot for letting his wife know that he’s tracking it, let alone that he has a goal of 100 times.

Hopefully he’s not procreating, just “recreating” in bed.

Abby, I thought you knew men better. “Fifty great versus 100 ‘so-so’ times” — are you kidding? Surely you know the saying, “Even bad sex is pretty good sex.”

We guys will take it any way, any how, anytime. For us, it’s all good, all the time.

— DAN IN IRVING, TEXAS

DEAR ABBY: Unfortunately, my husband also likes to keep a running tab of our sexual frequency. It galls me.

I saw a movie years ago in which a couple saw the same therapist and one tells the counselor, “We NEVER have sex! We only do it three times a week.”

While the other says, “We have sex ALL THE TIME! We do it three times a week!”

We must consider the other person and his or her needs, whether they’re emotional, sexual or physical. Emotional and physical are not necessarily the same.

— DENISE IN MICHIGAN DEAR ABBY: For most men, sex is just a little less important than breathing and eating as essential to our existence.

Men are getting fed up with being deprived. I have often considered extramarital sexual pursuits, and I feel I’d be justified in doing so. I know I’m not alone.

Men have needs, and should have a right to share intimate relations with their wives. If not, we should be given the green light to fulfill our needs elsewhere.

— JAMES IN KENTUCKY DEAR ABBY: I had to chuckle at “Pressured.” I have been married 20 years and have five children. I figure my husband and I are intimate an average of 260 times a year. Needless to say, my husband greets me with a smile every day, and our marriage is rock solid. — KNOWS THE SECRET IN UTAH

Spice up your week with summer salsa is a great companion to grilled fish and poultry.

Once you start making fresh salsa, you’ll find it easy to experiment without a recipe. Here are two easy recipes to get started. The amount of vegetables, fruits and seasonings can easily be modified to your taste.

Enjoy!

By Deb Nilles RD, LD Skiff Medical Center Originating in Mexico, salsa simply means “sauce.” A blend of chopped fruit and vegetables, with fresh herbs and spices, salsa adds pizzazz to a wide array of summer dishes.

Salsa is super easy to make — just combine summer fresh ingredients in a bowl and serve. Now, when summer gardens are at their peak, is the perfect time to experiment with making your own salsa.

Once you try fresh salsa, the jar will stay in the cupboard.

Here is what you’ll need to make a traditional salsa.

• Tomatoes — Any fresh garden tomatoes including red, yellow,

roma, grape, or cherry tomatoes will all work.

Tomatoes can be coarsely diced (or grape tomatoes can simply be sliced in half ). The seeds don’t have to be removed, but can be if preferred.

• Bell pepper — Some salsa recipes don’t use these mild peppers because bell peppers don’t add heat, but they will add color, texture and lots of Vitamin C. Yellow, red or green bell peppers can all be used.

• Chile Peppers: The type of Chile peppers chosen determines the heat. For mild salsa, use banana peppers or Anaheim peppers. For a medium salsa, use jalapeno or ancho peppers. And for hot salsa use Serrano peppers. Fiery hot salsa calls for piquin or habenero peppers. Wear gloves

when working with hot peppers and avoid touching your eyes and other sensitive areas after handling.

• Citrus — A squeeze of lime or lemon juice balances the heat of the peppers.

• Seasonings — Diced onion, garlic, and cilantro are traditional. Parsley can be used if you don’t like cilantro.

• Additional ingredients — Here is where you can be creative. Black beans, cooked corn, and cucumbers are great choices.

Salsa can also be made using fruit as the base.

Instead of tomatoes try diced pineapple, nectarines, peaches, mango and even watermelon. The sweetness of fresh fruit balances the heat of the Chile peppers. Fruit salsa

Ebola — can it be stopped?

LONDON (AP) — As a deadly Ebola outbreak continues in West Africa, health officials are working to calm fears about how the virus spreads, while encouraging those with symptoms to get medical care.

How is Ebola spread?

By direct contact with an Ebola patient’s blood or other bodily fluids like urine, saliva, and sweat. The highest concentration of virus is thought to be in blood, vomit and diarrhea.

The most vulnerable people are health care workers and family members or others who care for the sick. Because of the deadly nature of the disease, health workers should wear protective gear, especially when handling things like contaminated syringes.

Such equipment is not commonly available in Africa, and the disease isn’t always quickly recognized. Symptoms are similar to other diseases like malaria and cholera.

Scientist think fruit bats might be the source of the virus, but aren’t certain.

Can Ebola spread in the air, like the flu?

There is no evidence Ebola can be

spread in the air by sneezing or coughing.

Ebola is in some ways similar to the AIDS virus because it is spread through bodily fluids. Unlike those infected with HIV, those with the Ebola virus are considered infectious only when they show symptoms, which include fever, vomiting and diarrhea.

Can Ebola be stopped?

Yes, by isolating anyone with symptoms while testing is done, taking precautions while providing them medical care and tracking down anyone they were in close contact with when they got sick.

Those who have had direct contact with an Ebola patient are advised to take their temperature twice a day for three weeks, the incubation period for the disease.

Ebola first appeared nearly 40 years ago. In past Ebola outbreaks, many cases have been linked to people burying their loved ones, involving ritual cleansing of the body and kissing the body. The World Health Organization recommends that only trained personnel handle the bodies of Ebola victims.

Pico de Gallo 3 large diced tomatoes 1 small diced yellow bell pepper 2 finely diced jalapeno peppers 1 small diced white onion ¼ - ½ cup chopped cilantro 1 clove garlic, minced Juice of 1 lime ½ tsp salt (optional) Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl and serve.

Mango Salsa 1 large mango, diced 1½ cups corn (cooked and cooled) 1 15-oz can black beans, drained 1 small onion, diced 1 small red pepper, diced 2 jalapeno peppers, finely diced 1 clove garlic, minced Juice of 1 lime 3 Tbsp chopped cilantro ¼ tsp salt (optional) Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and serve.

Swimmers compete in Long Course State Meet

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor IOWA CITY — Ten swimmers, who compete for Newton High School swim teams, participated in the Iowa Swimming, Inc. Long Course State Championship Swim Meet, July 24-27, at the University of Iowa.

Hannah Scotton, Sarah Prendergast, Rachel Prendergast and Elizabeth Myers, all of Newton, along with Madeline Webb and Samantha Hedrick were swimming for the Pella Swim Club. NHS boys’ swim team members, Isaak Webb and Jake Lensing, both of Pella, also competed for the Pella Swim Club.

Royals beat Diamondbacks PHOENIX (AP) — Mike Moustakas accounted for all of KansasCity’s runs w i t h a long ball, a liner and a bit of hustle after a diving stop by A r i Moustakas zona second baseman Aaron Hill.

His hustle play was the one that made all the difference.

Moustakas homered and drove in his fourth run by beating a relay throw to first in the ninth inning, helping the Royals beat the Diamondbacks 4-3 Wednes-

day night to win their fifth straight series.

“He (Hill) made a great play on that and I’m just running down the line to get to first and get that run, which turned out to be pretty big,” Moustakas said.

KansasCity rolled over Arizona in the opener and had just enough offense for Yordana Ventura (9-8) to take the second game.

Moustakas, who was 1-for-13 to start the sixgame road trip, hit a tworun homer off Josh Collmenter (8-6) in the third inning and added a runscoring single off the righthander in the fourth. He was initially called out on BASEBALL See Page 2B

Dalton, Smith in spotlight as Bengals visit Chiefs KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — As Alex Smith was walking off the practice field, a member of the Chiefs communications staff intercepted him, the two of them huddling just out of earshot of reporters.

Moments later, when Smith stepped in front of the cameras, the first question he was asked was whether the new contract that Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton had signed would have any impact on his own negotiations for an extension to remain in KansasCity beyond this season.

“To be honest, I had no idea they were even talking,” Smith said. “I just found out walking off the field, just to give me a heads up because I’d probably get asked it. So other than that, I’ve got nothing for you. I don’t know anything about it.”

Still, the timing of the deal was not lost on the veteran quarterback.

“I’m focused out here on camp, getting better. We’ve got a game on Thursday,” Smith said. “It happens to be against those guys. But other than that, sorry.”

Yes, Dalton and Smith will both be in the spotlight on Thursday night — well, for as long as they play — when the Bengals visit the Chiefs in the preseason opener of both teams.

Dalton will begin proving he deserves his lavish new deal; Smith will continue proving he deserves his own.

“I don’t think it’s really any added pressure,” Dalton said, “because Smith I expect this team to play better. I expect myself to be better. We have high expectations for what we’re trying to do this year, and so regardless of the contract, I would have expected to go into the season with the same mentality and same attitude. We want to be really successful.”

The Bengals have certainly been successful since Dalton took the reins.

They won nine games his first season, 10 the next and went 11-5 last season.

Each year, they made the playoffs.

Of course, they still haven’t won a postseason game, going 0-3 over that stretch. And ending that futility — the organization hasn’t won a playoff game since 1991 — may be the only thing that proves to cynics that Dalton deserves the team-friendly deal that could keep him wearing black and or-

ange through the 2020 season.

“When you come in as a rookie, it’s easy to say, ‘Yes, I’m the quarterback. Now I’m the leader of the team,’” Dalton said. “But you’re sitting in the hudDalton dle with guys that are 34 years old, and that point I was 23. It’s different now, because I have played and played at a high level. You have credibility with the guys because of the experience I have.”

Smith earned the same credibility in KansasCity last season, helping a team that was 2-14 the year before his arrival go 11-5 and make the playoffs.

Along the way, he threw for a careerbest 3,313 yards with 23 touchdowns and only seven interceptions.

It was that performance — not to mention his 30-9-1 record as a starter the past three years — that convinced the Chiefs they wanted to sign him to a long-term deal.

They’ve been negotiating with his representatives for months, and while the sides are still far apart, Dalton’s contract could provide one more ref-

erence point in getting it done.

“There’s communication going on,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said. “That is the important thing. Alex is a good football player and he’s great for this team.

We’re lucky to have him here. They are working through it and we’ll see what happens. These things take time.”

Every day that passes, though, the new season draws near.

Just like the Bengals, the Chiefs are trying to end a lengthy playoff slump.

When they blew a 38-10 second-half lead in a 45-44 loss to Indianapolis last season, it kept KansasCity winless in the postseason since 1993 — six head coaches and countless heartaches ago.

In other words, Thursday night’s preseason opener couldn’t come soon enough.

Both teams will play their starters at the onset, and both will likely give way to backups by the second quarter.

That should give plenty of players a chance to prove what they can do.

“The important thing is you want to work your things and get your young guys the experience of going out there and playing. I think that’s important,” Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said, “to get them immersed and playing football competitively against another color helmet.”

Area talent represented on Heart of Iowa conference teams

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer No-hit performances and solid offensive seasons landed multiple area baseball players on this season’s Heart of Iowa all-conference teams.

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter had two players named the Heart of Iowa second team — sophomore Brady Stover and senior Zach Samson — and Colfax-Mingo had one player selected to the second team, Nate Smith.

Stover threw two no hitters for the Raiders this summer. His first came in a 3-0 loss to Roland Story on June 16. The left-hander had a little more luck on his side during his second no hitter, a 4-2 victory over ColfaxMingo on July 7.

Stover posted a 4-3 record on the mound. He struck out 95 batters and had the third-highest strikeout per seven inning rate (13.12) in the conference.

The 16-year-old Stover also provided a consistent bat in CMB’s lineup, hitting .329 for the year.

Only one other Raider recorded better numbers at the plate than Stover, and that was Samson. CMB’s top offensive producer, Samson hit at a .359 clip and led the team in home

runs (five) and RBIs (17). He ended his high school career with an 11game hitting streak.

Also receiving recognition for CMB were Seth Balke and Hunter McWhirter as honorable mention selections. Balke pitched 37 2/3 innings while compiling a 3-3 record for the Raiders. McWhirter played solid defense as the team’s catcher and hit .275.

Three of Colfax-Mingo’s four seniors ended up getting the nod for the Heart of Iowa teams. Smith was the most productive Tigerhawk for head coach Seth Milledge’s offense, posting a team-high .317 batting average and 10 RBIs, twice as many as any other player on the team.

Juan Gonzalez and Colton Harmison earned honorable mention status. Gonzalez played as important a role as any player for Colfax-Mingo, providing leadership and pitching a team-high 52 1/3 innings.

Harmison also pitched, was second on the team in batting average (.270) and on-base percentage (.403) and played on the left side of the infield defensively.

Prairie City-Monroe junior Jerod DeVries was one of three Mustang baseball players selected to this year’s Heart of Iowa all-conference teams.

DeVries, a catcher for head coach Shaun Hudnut’s squad, batted .303 and threw out six runners on the base paths, which tied him for the fourthmost in the Heart of Iowa.

Junior Trey Lindsay and sophomore Austin Brown received honorable mention recognition. Lindsay played solid defense as the team’s

shortstop and hit .264 with 23 hits throughout the season.

Brown was the Mustangs’ ace on the mound as he threw more than twice as many innings (56 2/3) as any other PCM pitcher. Brown ended the year with a 6-4 record and held opposing batters to a .211 average.

Ben Schuff/Daily News Colfax-Mingo’s Nate Smith pitches against North Polk on May 28. Smith was one of several area players named to Heart of Iowa all-conference teams.

Boy who won ESPY has cancer recurrence

Des Moines to bid for NCAA men’s tournament

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — The 8-year-old who received national attention for his touchdown run in the 2013 Nebraska spring football game has had a recurrence of brain cancer.

Jack Hoffman, from Atkinson, had been in remission since October. His father, Andy, said doctors found a “spot of concern” in Jack’s brain in April, and followup tests in Boston on Wednesday showed the tumor had grown.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Des Moines is pushing hard for a shot at hosting the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

The Des Moines Area Sports Commission, Iowa State University and Global Spectrum, the company that operates Wells Fargo Arena, announced Wednesday that they’re bidding to host NCAA tournament games in 2016, 2017 and 2018.

Des Moines has long wanted to host the men’s basketball tournament

Andy Hoffman wrote on Jack’s CaringBridge page that the tumor would be treated with chemotherapy.

Jack’s touchdown won an ESPY Award for best sports moment of 2013. Players mobbed him and lifted him on their shoulders in triumph after his 69yard run. The video of the play has been replayed on national TV and viewed more than 8 million times on YouTube.

Red Sox edge Cardinals ST. LOUIS (AP) — Xander Bogaerts drove in both runs, including a go-ahead sacrifice fly in the ninth inning, as the Boston Red Sox beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 on Wednesday night.

The matchup of Shelby Miller and Joe Kelly, former teammates who were each other’s best man at their weddings, was a high quality draw that brought out their best. Each allowed a run in seven innings.

Junichi Tazawa (2-3) worked a perfect eighth and Koji Uehara worked around two hits in the ninth for his 23rd save in 25 chances. Trevor Rosenthal (1-6) blew his fifth save in 40 chances.

Kelly worked seven innings

only twice in 22 starts for St. Louis the last two seasons and Miller got that deep for just the eighth time in 54 career starts.

Kelly got a nice ovation while walking to the bullpen to begin warmups, with hundreds of fans standing. There were more cheers when he stepped onto the mound for the first time, and before his first at-bat leading off the third.

The Red Sox loaded the bases with none out in the ninth against Rosenthal, a single by Yoenis Cespedes, double by Mike Napoli and intentional walk to pinch hitter David Ortiz.

Bogaerts lined out to center for a sacrifice fly and the lead.

Baseball: KC wins series at Arizona Continued from Page 1B the groundball in the ninth inning, but a review showed his headfirst dive beat the throw, allowing Billy Butler to score for a 4-2 lead.

The Royals needed the extra run, too.

Closer Greg Holland gave up a pair of singles and a sacrifice fly to Mark Trumbo in the bottom half before closing out his 32nd save.

The scrappy victory was the Royals’ sixth in seven games, pulling them within 3 1/2 games of Detroit in the AL Central.

“This was a big win for us with Detroit losing,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “Every game is huge.”

The Diamondbacks certainly had their chances, particularly against Ventura.

Miguel Montero had three of Arizona’s 12 hits and Hill had his 1,300th career hit with a runscoring single in the third inning.

The Diamondbacks just couldn’t come up with the big hits when they needed them, stranding 11 runners while going 2 for 14 with runners in scoring position.

“It was a game we should have done better, a more productive job of taking care of our opportunities,” Arizona manager Kirk Gibson said.

The Royals turned the series

opener into a laugher, scoring 10 runs on three swings. Nori Aoki hit a grand slam, Butler had a three-run homer among his four hits, and Salvador Perez added a three-run shot in the 12-2 rout.

KansasCity had another long ball early against Collmenter, this one a two-run shot by Moustakas in the second inning, his teamleading 14th of the season. The Royals tacked on another run in the fourth, going up 3-2 on Moustakas’ run-scoring single.

Collmenter was good against everyone except Moustakas, though, allowing one other hit while striking out six in six innings.

“That is the difference: him (Ventura) pitching and getting out of jams and me pitching myself into a jam and not getting out of it,” Collmenter said.

Ventura had at least seven strikeouts in his previous two starts, including a win over Minnesota after allowing a run in seven innings his last outing.

The rookie right-hander kept piling up the strikeouts against the Diamondbacks, notching eight while working around baserunners nicely. He gave up runscoring singles to Hill and David Peralta in the third inning, but little else despite struggling with his command on off-speed pitches.

Ventura allowed eight hits.

at Wells Fargo Arena, which opened downtown in 2005. But Iowa’s capital city has had to settle for less prestigious events like the women’s basketball and wrestling tournaments.

Des Moines ranked first in attendance among women’s basketball regional sites in 2012. The 2013 wrestling championships drew strong crowds as well.

The city also hosted the NCAA outdoor track and field championships in 2008, 2011 and 2012 at Drake Stadium.

Thursday, August 7, 2014

The cosmic grace of the day comes courtesy of Mars and Neptune forming a lucky trine in water signs. Serendipitous meetings, keen instincts and/ or sudden inspiration are included in the package.

Unwrap without anticipation. Preconceived notions will only dampen the effect. Keep your mind open and your curiosity at the ready.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 7). Ask for the moon this year and you may just get it. This month brings the money. September has you revamping relationships and communicating better. Buckle up in October for the wild ride you’ve been standing in line to go on. February fortifies your love life.

March features you shining in the spotlight. Capricorn and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 20, 1, 22 and 50.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Get serious about your work. Avoid including people who are not technically qualified to assist you. You deserve a well-matched team. It will

behoove you to be a bit picky.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). What’s broken can be fixed, especially between people. Avoid saying, “Can I talk to you?” It only puts others on the defensive. Start the healing in your heart and your imagination.

Breathe it in. When your relationships are good, so is your heart.

have happened undeserved before, too. Trust the cosmic balance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). A project you took on because it looked like fun now becomes a chore.

Continue on anyhow because now someone needs you — that can be great motivation in and of itself.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You may like someone immensely and still feel competitive with that person.

Keep it in check and the complexity of feeling will make this an interesting and educational relationship.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Those who have prospered are quietly looking for someone with whom to share their good fortune. You’ll stand out, not because you are needy, but because you do so much with comparatively small resources.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You realized by the age of 5 that making demands is not the most effective way to get what you want. Today you’ll be lucky when you go with slyly delivered suggestions instead.

Charm accomplishes what force could not.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There is a big mustdo item to top your to-do list. You might need a teacher for this one. Put the word out and the right person comes quickly to your aid.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Tune into your body, especially where you’re holding onto stress. Your awareness of physical tension is the first step to releasing it. The more you can let go, the luckier you’ll be.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your friendships are going strong and your love life is equally satisfying.

This is a good moment.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Good things are happening. You may secretly wonder whether or not you’ve earned it.

Don’t worry. Bad things

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have an instinct about what needs to happen next in this grand show. Since you see the big picture with clarity, tend to the broad strokes and let someone else do the detail work.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). These days, attention hogs are everywhere. Try not to give them too much focus and definitely don’t be one yourself. Your social grace will attract someone who can assist in your current project.
