Developer pitches $10M apartment complex 50-unit building proposed by Miller-Valentine

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A developer pitched a $10 million downtown apartment complex proposal to the

Newton City Council at its Monday meeting.

Senior Developer for M i l l e r - Va l entine Residential Development Pete Schwiegeraht Schwiegeraht presented a potential “workforce” apart-

ment complex at the former Newton Seed Store location, on North Third Avenue West and West Third Street North.

The approximately 50 unit, four-story complex would be the second apartment development for Miller-Valentine in Newton following the Newton Place Senior Housing completed last year.

“With that development we captured half of what we saw

as a need for the community.

As we did our market studies we saw that the senior demographic was your number one growing demographic and you wanted to be able to keep them here local in your community, and that is wonderful,” Schwiegeraht said. “What we found was there is probably a bigger need in workforce housing.”

Schwiegeraht noted the

large number of commuters traveling from outside of Newton to work in the community. The lack of high-quality housing options for those workers is leading them to live elsewhere, which is where Miller-Valentine would like to step in.

Baxter ends CMB Berg Complex in endless sports sharing series of repair, maintenance agreement

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News The Berg Middle School Complex is not the oldest facility in the Newton Community School District, however, it houses the most students and has been modified many times in ways that hinder and prevent cost-saving minor remodeling and upgrading.

District officials point toward remodeling, aging systems as cause

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Problems with the Newton Community School District’s Berg Complex can almost be summed up in one word: remodeling.

While there are many other factors in what has led the district to pursue a Sept. 13 general obligation bond to replace the building, the complex’s history of being expanded to accommodate more students has stretched the overall structure to its limits in efficiency and performance. Environmental, maintenance and overloaded utilities have left

The Newton Community School District is holding a Sept. 13 election, where it will ask voters for $26.9 million in general-obligation tax bonds — the bulk of the funding needed to rebuild the Berg school complex. This is the first in a three-part series about issues related to the bond vote. the district with two choices in order to both lower costs and resolve ongoing issues: move students into temporary classrooms and completely gut the facility, or simply replace it.

Over the past 20 years, since the last ma-

jor remodeling was completed, spiraling maintenance costs in parts and labor have caused the district to seriously consider either a major remodel or rebuilding it.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan and maintenance supervisor Jack

Suttek both say there are more maintenance efforts happening each year at the complex than all other district facilities combined.

While the oldest part of the structure, completed in 1963, does not make Berg technically the oldest in the Newton, it houses the most students and has been modified many times in ways that hinder and prevent major maintenance and upgrading. To maintenance staff and district finance personnel, Berg seems to have the needs of a much older structure.

BAXTER – In a unanimous vote Monday night, the Baxter School Board ended the CMB sports sharing agreement with Collins-Maxwell.

The decision means CMB sports will terminate following the MORE INSIDE 2016-17 athletic Read coaches, athletes reactions year, which will to the decision • See Page 8 be the 29th year of the agreement.

More than 30 people were in attendance for the regular meeting Monday including a few Baxter School District staff, parents, students and members from the Collins-Maxwell School Board.

Prior to the vote, all five Baxter board members spoke about their thought processes leading up to the decision and each said they believed it was time to part ways with their partner.

“Personally, I struggled with this, especially with the opportunities we have if we stop the sharing,” board member Colette Kunkel said. “I know we as a board and as a school district will do what’s best for our students and we will find those opportunities. I think at this point we need to find a partner that is going down the same path and vision that we have.”

Educational series focuses on antibiotics Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Cattle, such as this Jasper County herd, are part of a U.S. production group that is projected by the USDA to have higher totals in 2016 and 2017 than in each of the past several calendar years.

USDA predicts higher beef totals for 2016, 2017 Prices at Minnesota price point have dropped 19 percent

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News After some declines, the amount of nationwide beef production is projected to finish higher in 2016 than at the end of 2015, and is projected to continue its rise in 2017, according to a a recent USDA report.

After dipping from 25.7 million pounds in 2013 to 24.3 million pounds in 2014 and 23.7 million in 2015, the USDA predicts the U.S. will rebound to finish close to 25 million for 2015.

The agency predicts the production could climb by another nearly million pounds in 2017.

Of all the major U.S livestock commodities — beef, pork, chicken, turkey and veal/lamb — beef is the only one to suffer a major dip in production during the early 2010s.

The shrinking supply and high demand created a price spike, however. In April 2014, the prices reached their highest mark since 1987.

On a recent broadcast of the IPTV program “Market to Market,” hosted by Mike Pearson of Grinnell, expert Ted Seifried pointed out the demand and price of pork and beef are related.

“Pork demand is very sensitive to the relationship to beef prices,” Seifried said. “And if beef prices are coming down and pork prices are still relatively high, I think we’re poaching some of that pork demand, both domestically and possibly abroad as well. I worry that if, in the long-term, if beef prices come down then I get a little concerned about that pork demand here.”

Iowa State University’s Department of Economics midsummer outlook points out even with the negotiated Iowa-Minnesota slaughter steer price for the first seven months of this year averaging $128 per hundredweight is about 19 percent less than the $159 for the same period in 2015, fed cattle typically have seasonal price lows in the summer.

Supplies are typically the largest in the summer, making one argument that prices experienced in July could be the bottom. Feedlot inventories, placements and marketings and lower carcass weights are also positive signs for what price increases could be in store for the fall and winter months ahead.

Increased production doesn’t necessarily mean more profits

for cattle producers, however.

Various tariffs, discounts, fees and other charges or deductions from standard payment rates often cut into any new revenue found through increased demand.

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) announced recently a $1.50 per hundredweight discount would be applied to cattle delivered to the Worthing, S.D. delivery point on the October 2017 cattle futures contract, according to the Iowa Cattlemen’s Association.

CME is also suggesting it will move to a cash-settled live cattle futures contract if price discovery and cash negotiated trade do not increase — and increase quickly — across the major cattle feeding regions.

Seifried also said American demand for beef has a base that is relatively reliable.

“In bad times, we’re still going to McDonald’s and getting our Quarter Pounders with Cheese,” Seifried said. “Beef demand, everybody wants to eat beef, that’s the country we live in — God bless America.”

In an effort to assist the livestock industry in preparing for the FDA’s expanded veterinary feed directive, the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation has partnered with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach and the Iowa Veterinary Medical Association to offer regional educational sessions around the state.

The educational series runs from Aug. 22 through Sept. 1 with regional sessions in 11 locations. The program will help answer questions from all individuals impacted by the expanded rules, including veterinarians, livestock producers and feed industry personnel.

Two examples of changes under the expanded set of rules are a new requirement for a veterinarian’s written statement for antibiotic use in livestock feed along with water-based antibiotics requiring a prescription.

There is no fee to attend the meetings, but preregistration is encouraged.

The meeting that will be the closest to Jasper County will be from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sept. 1 at Carpenters Hall in Chariton. Attendees are asked to RSVP to the Lucas County Extension Office by calling 641-774-2016.

For more general information, call 712-2500070, email to caclark@iastate.edu or contact a regional Iowa State Extension livestock specialist.

THE STORY BEHIND CONTROLLING GLYPHOSATE RESISTANT W EEDS For years, we’ve relied on the use of glyphosate to control weeds.

While it’s an effective herbicide, the continued use has resulted in serious weed resistance throughout the Midwest. By not controlling these weeds, studies have shown that yields can be reduced by more than 30 percent. But there is a solution. Making the switch to LibertyLink® gives growers better control with high yields. And as a contact herbicide, Liberty® kills weeds in days versus weeks compared to glyphosate, and there is no documented weed resistance to the unique mode of action it provides. Achieve good spray coverage and you’ll control the toughest glyphosate resistant weeds like marestail, waterhemp, giant ragweed, and Palmer amaranth.

Liberty®, LibertyLink®, and the Water Droplet Design (reg’d) are trademarks of Bayer. Liberty® is not registered in all states.

Local & State News Berg Continued from Page 1A Also, some of the hardware, systems and dimensions widely used in the Midwest in the 1960s turned out to involve ideas quickly abandoned a few short years later.

Some of Berg’s circuit breakers are original, and have configurations neither Suttek nor most of his staff have seen anywhere else.

Repaired and modified many times — from the 1973 tornado damage to the roof and other aspects to the 1999 bond-approved additions that included new gymnasium and about 50 classrooms — Berg is hardly the ship that set sail from its original 1963 harbor. It is a high-maintenance vessel that must be either thoroughly remodeled or replaced in order to reduce its environmental and ongoing cost issues.

Callaghan said Berg is a safe building, but it is consuming a large fraction of the district’s financial and personnel resources to keep it that way.

“It’s a usable building,” Callaghan said. “But to provide major resolution to its biggest recurring issues, we need to either start with a new building, or go through some serious renovations — the kind that would disrupt education, and require students and staff to be relocated temporarily.”

An improvised grouping of electrical supply cables in a part of the complex’s boiler room is probably the most

eye-catching part of Berg’s dilemma, but its inability to house new, efficiency-improving systems is only one element of the riddle.

The additions have added extra hallways and rooms to be heated or cooled, while the original HVAC system is now connected to a structure that services thousands more square feet than in its original mission — and the classrooms at the end of the long, tubular system gets the least benefit.

Classrooms in the newest addition have their own rooftop air conditioners, which run about $5,000 each, said Suttek. That’s a rising, ongoing expense to the district to maintain and/or replace 50 such units.

Some classrooms have no windows, while others are odd shapes or sizes. State law allows classrooms to be as large as 999 square feet before requiring a second exit (980 square feet is a commonly specified size), but Callaghan said many Berg classrooms are well below 980 square feet.

Mold has been found in Berg classrooms more than once in the past few years.

This is unlikely to be prevented from recurring unless the district significantly modifies both the airflow and the “sealability” of the building.

Suttek said if cost were no object, he would fill in the underground vent system with concrete, remove the building’s flat roof and install with a pitched, raised replacement and install a new heating and cooling duct system above the

ceilings.

Callaghan said the rule of thumb for school administrators is if the cost of remodeling or repairing a building is equal to half or more of the replacement cost, replacement is the recommended option.

Former NCSD board member Nat Clark said any Newton students who are “forced to get an education and work in that building are working in a 50-year-old piece-of-junk building that has not been maintained.”

Barbie Burnett has taught at nearly every NCSD facility in her 28 years with the district, including the past seven on what had been Berg’s K-3 elementary side. She said temperature differences from room to room are a huge distraction, along with noisy fans used to either offset unmanageable heat in the winter.

“A large, single-story building with many hallways makes it tough to keep track of students,” Burnett said. “Plus, some of Berg’s classrooms are very small and have no natural light.”

Here are a few of the major limitations of remodeling Berg: • There is only about eight inches of space between the ceilings and the roof, should the district be willing to add massive wiring and ductwork.

Unless all of the exterior walls were built higher and the roof replaced (possibly with the pitched roofs that cap Thomas Jefferson and Aurora Heights elementaries) or extremely low ceilings were utilized, this

File photo This improvised grouping of electrical supply cables is one of many symbolic elements of an aging Berg Complex. While the building is not technically the oldest facility in the Newton Community School District, it houses the most students and has been modified many times in ways that hinder and prevent cost-saving minor remodeling and upgrading.

space will not change. There is not currently enough space above the ceilings to run modern ductwork.

• A more powerful or less-centralized HVAC system might help move air differently, but the tubular classroom configuration — especially in the newest wing of the grades 5-6 half of the complex — would remain the same.

• Upgrades of utilities would not, by themselves,

help improve classroom sizes or allow windowless classrooms to have outdoor walls with windows.

• Students and staff would need to be housed in temporary classrooms while a remodel takes place over approximately a two-year period.

grow the community, bring your employees, who unfortunately have to live outside of the community, into the community,” Schwiegeraht said. “Also, it could serve some of the folks who live in the community but could benefit from a better option or a higher quality option to benefit their family needs and their needs.”

The State of Iowa housing tax credit program, which was utilized to build Newton Place Apartments, will be used to finance the project. By using the program, a portion of the units would target the 60 percent adjusted median income range and under.

Depending on the household, that income level could be in the mid-to-high $40,000s.

“There is no Section 8 housing. There is no HUD involvement. This isn’t public housing, residents will be paying their own rent, we are just committed to providing an affordable rent at a high-quality unit so they can make for a better quality of life,” Schwiegeraht said.

Along with the adjusted rate apartments, Schwiegeraht said they are planning to have 10 or more true market rate units in the complex.

“What is good about this development is it will really cater to all,” Schwiegeraht said. “If we

and if that is the case, we hope you would support our project as we submit it to the state on Nov. 2,” Schwiegeraht said.

Councilwoman Evelyn George said she had toured the senior apartments and was impressed with what she saw.

“It is lovely. I love the amenities, and I have talked with some of the residents there. I know it really truly has met a need that we have here in the community,” George said. “I do believe that we have others in the workforce development that are looking for the same amenities and I appreciate you bring this forward.”

The council will further discuss the potential apartment complex at a future meeting.

Bridges, Crandall and Helton, all of whom are from the Eldora area, were arrested a few days after the robbery.

Crandall was identified as the gunman who entered the convenience store at gunpoint Wednesday night and left with an undisclosed amount of money. Bridges and Helton were seen in the area on a surveillance camera from a neighboring business.

Two Newton-area men, Kyle A. Edwards and Christopher S. Christensen, 22, were charged with accessory to a felony later in November following an investigation, which revealed all three robbery suspects had been at Christensen’s residence after the crime, along with Edwards.

A pre-trial conference for Christensen and Edwards is scheduled for Aug. 29.

The complex would also have a portion of larger units that could cater to a small to medium family.

When describing the appearance of the building, Schwiegeraht said Miller-Valentine sees the new complex as a transition from downtown.

“This is more downtown, we are going to transition into a more urban footprint format with a flat roof,” Schwiegeraht said. “The internal corridors will have similar amenities. We’ll have the business and fitness centers, we’ll reproduce that in the new building so they do not have to share.”

To move forward with the

project, the developer is seeking city incentives the purchase of the city-owned land. The incentives come in the form of a five percent or $500,000 commitment on the $10 million project which is required by the state to receive the tax credits.

“We are requesting we receive through a similar format that was used last time, a 15 year TIF rebate of taxes,” Schwiegeraht said.

A specific dollar amount was not given for the price of the land, but Schwiegeraht said he feels the amount will more than fairly compensate the city for the land and demolition costs already incurred.

The company is also looking for support from the council after a final presentation is given at a future meeting.

Wedding season

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson

T

his summer and fall we have a boom of weddings to attend. One stretch has us attending a ceremony three weekends in a row.

This past weekend was the latest wedding for us to attend. It was for my husband’s friend, and he was asked to be in the wedding, leaving me on my own.

Usually, I don’t mind being on my own. I don’t know if it is because my brother and sisters are so much older than me I didn’t have a built in playmate or it is just my personality type.

At this wedding, I only knew four people, all of whom happen to

be in the wedding party. Sitting at the wedding wasn’t terrible because there isn’t a lot of small talk during the ceremony.

It wasn’t until I got to the reception I thought it might get awkward.

I arrived early enough so there were several open tables available. I selected one on the end and sat down, not knowing if I would get any company or fly solo the whole night (which I would have been OK with).

Lucky me, not long after I sat down two nice couples decided to join me. After introducing ourselves I learned we had no connection whatsoever as they knew the bride’s

mother and I knew the groom.

After a little small talk, they continued their conversations with each other and I sat waiting for the wedding party to arrive. I decided to get myself some liquid courage and when I returned another couple decided to join us.

They were closer in age to me and said they knew the groom, so my hopes went up a little. Then they introduced themselves. The man’s name was Bobby and the woman’s Hope and just like that I was sitting with “Bob Hope” as they said in unison. My night was made.

The evening continued and my husband finally arrived, but since he was sitting at the head table, I was still on my own. I did end up having a nice conversation with the woman who sat next to me about Iowa football and our shared knowledge

of Musco Lighting from Oskaloosa.

The meal soon followed, which meant we didn’t have to talk and then the bridal party was released and my stag time was up. It wasn’t terrible but definitely isn’t the way I would choose to spend four hours of my weekend.

I won’t have that problem at any of the upcoming weddings. Even if my husband was a participant, which he isn’t, the upcoming weddings either have friends or family who will also be in attendance.

I do have to give a shout out to those who chose a date where Iowa does not have a home game — thank you. And for those who made me choose, it should really say something that I chose your wedding over the Hawkeyes. Cheers.

I know some tough guys I’m the kind of man who says what he means. No political correctness.

I was late for work the other day, maybe 20 minutes, and I’ve been late before, couple times this month.

My boss is a woman (they’re all bosses these days) and she must have had a fight with her boyfriend, or it’s her “special” time of the month, or maybe she’s not getting enough of the old innee-outtee, if ya know what I mean.

Anyway, whatever, ya know. But she made a big deal out of me being late, again, like I wasn’t the smartest guy in the place. I knew what she was trying to pull.

So, I told her, “I know some tough guys. My buddy Ray, he owns a lotta guns, ya know. Lives in a house out in the ‘burbs and he reads sniper magazines.

“Maybe I oughta have Ray come down here and take care of you so this place gets run right,” I said.

Well, I got fired because they fire everybody who speaks up to the woman bosses. It’s this political correctness crap.

She called the cops, too. Women are always calling the damn cops on men. It’s this feminist crap.

And I got arrested and went to court and the judge musta been 60, and she probably hasn’t had any lovin’ since 1978.

And she started telling me I can’t just threaten people.

“I know guys who own a lotta guns,” I told her.

“One of them was in the Army Reserve. Maybe I oughta get a couple of those guys to come down here and blow you right off that bench.”

So, now I’m doing 120 days in the house of corrections because the court system is rigged.

I’m in the chow line and Ricky, this black guy, he cuts the line, pushes me out of the way because it’s Tuesday and Tuesday is pepper steak night and Ricky likes to get to the pepper steak before it gets cold.

“I know some guys with guns,” I said to him.

“I don’t see any of ‘em in this line,” he said.

He beat me pretty bad, knocked out three of my teeth. I was unconscious when the guards pulled him off of me.

He’s kind of my boyfriend now.

I guess if I had Donald Trump in here with me, I’d tell him that it’s better to be a tough guy than to just know some tough guys.

Vote yes for sensible Berg plan The schools in Newton, Iowa really do mean a lot to me. My family moved to Newton when I was in the eighth grade because my father was on the school board in the smaller town where we lived, and he knew the difficulty of getting teachers there due to World War II. He also felt that the broader curriculum here would benefit me.

After my Newton-native husband graduated from law school, we returned to Newton to live, and soon I found myself on the committee for the Berg School bond issue. I was a teacher, and

Vote yes for a bright future This fall looks to be a “Season of Choices.” With the presidential and the local school bond elections just around the corner, it’s time for all of us to really evaluate where we want to be in the years to come. Fortunately, we live in a country where we have the right to choose our outcome.

As a lifetime citizen of Newton, I take considerable pride in our community. Newton has

with baby boomer children everywhere, the need was clear. We worked very hard to inform voters about the problem. Berg was built and thousands of Newton students have studied there.

The thousands, however, were too much for the original structure. Additions and modifications were necessary as time went by. However, that passage of time and the changes made have created other problems that include the outdated mechanical systems, bad traffic patterns and enclosed rooms.

It’s time to step up again and vote for a sensible plan that will keep the best of the complex and replace the worst. The tim-

ing is right since the current bond debt will soon be paid off. We can then obtain the needed money with a favorably small increase in the tax rate. I believe that our public schools should be so good that everyone will want their children to be there. Good buildings are a part of this mix. Let’s pass this referendum so that families now and into the future will find the Newton Schools as attractive and as good as they have been for my family all these many years! Please mark your calendar now and join me in voting “yes” on Tuesday, Sept. 13.

experienced both great times and some other times of struggle. Throughout time, Newton has endured and moved forward because of progressive thinking and action, not resting on a belief of entitlement. Today, we are faced with another challenge which requires us to be proactive, vote “yes” on the Newton School Bond.

As one of Newton’s aging citizens, it would be easy to rationalize voting “no” since my children don’t live in Newton. Yet, a sense of social responsibility speaks loudly within, “This is in the best interest of our children.”

They deserve the same great learning conditions the rest of us enjoyed when the Berg Complex was first built. The year it opened I started second grade and continued there until completing ninth grade.

So, as we enter into the “Season of Choices,” please consider voting “yes” on the Newton School Bond. Newton needs to continue moving forward, and we must keep the future optimistic for our children. Voting yes is a small price to pay for a brighter future.

Daughter turned against mom must be set straight

DEAR ABBY: I have a problem with my two younger sisters. Neither one can have children. I have three.

Recently, one of my sisters turned my sweetest daughter against me by telling her I had “abandoned her” when I moved to Ohio with my oldest son and divorced their father. Not true! I left my daughter with my sister so she could experience raising a teenager since she couldn’t have a child of her own.

After telling my daughter I had abandoned her, my sister advised her to tell me she never wanted to talk to me again. My heart is broken. My daughter is very sweet and gullible. She has taken her aunt’s side and says she wants nothing to do with me. This is driving me crazy. Please tell me what to do. — HEARTBROKEN IN THE MIDWEST DEAR HEARTBROKEN: If your daughter is a minor, demand that she return to you immediately. Do it through a lawyer, if necessary, because what your sister is doing is a form of parental alienation. If your daughter is an adult, then ask your other two children to talk to their sister and set her straight.

DEAR ABBY: When a couple is on an airplane in a section with three seats (window, middle, aisle) and a male stranger has the window seat, should the woman sit in the middle seat beside the male stranger, or in the aisle seat exposed to all passengers walking by? — TRAVELER IN VANCOUVER, B.C. DEAR TRAVELER: When someone makes an airline reservation, a particular seat is usually assigned and the airline expects the passenger to sit there unless the crew is notified and approves the change. There are many variables regarding why a person would want an aisle seat. Among them would be access to the bathroom, a person’s size or a desire for more personal space.

If sitting in the middle seat in close proximity to a man you don’t know

would bother you, mention it to one of the cabin crew and request a change, or just switch seats with your travel companion.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a retired man who took a community college class.

My lab partner was a young woman who was having difficulties attending the class. She wasn’t there for the final exam, and I wondered if she had dropped the course. I did not have her phone number or her email address, but she had mentioned she worked at a nearby bank, so I went to visit her there. We talked for a few minutes and she told me she had actually done quite well in the class.

When I told my wife and daughter about it, they were shocked. They said what I did was inappropriate because of the age difference and she could have gotten into trouble at her job. Abby, they almost accused me of stalking her.

I don’t understand why they considered this inappropriate. Is there a social rule that makes my behavior incorrect?

I find it hard to believe someone would get into trouble for talking to a person in the bank at any age. Gender should not be a concern. I would have done the same thing had she been a man my own age. — AM I MISSING SOMETHING? DEAR AM I: You appear to be a very nice person. What you are “missing” is the fact that your wife is insecure, and your daughter backed her mother up. You did nothing wrong.

1 Officer admits to crass remarks at black teen’s death scene

WATERLOO — A white officer has admitted to making “crass” remarks about a black teenager who was the victim of a fatal 2013 shooting in Iowa. Waterloo Police Chief Daniel Trelka said he has opened an internal investigation into the remarks by the officer, Kenneth Schaaf. In remarks caught on tape at the death scene, Schaaf suggested that 18-year-old Dae’Quan Campbell was not a “true victim” and called him an obscenity.

He also said that “we just need a semi-apocalyptic event to get rid of 90 percent of them.”

CLEAR LAKE — Three brush-eating goats have been acquired to clear some foliage around a pond in Clear Lake. The Department of Natural Resources Clear Lake and Clear Lake Elementary are borrowing the goats from their owner to help control vegetation and improve the Lake Area Outdoor Classroom. Owner Wendy Johnson said the goats can eat more than 10 pounds of food each per day. “Goats are really easy to raise and they’re so helpful for brush, weed and invasive species control,” Johnson said.

INDIANOLA — Authorities say an inmate who escaped from the Warren County Jail in Indianola has been seen traveling with a woman being sought by Missouri authorities.

The Warren County Sheriff ’s Office said in a news release that 26-year-old Scott Grimes escaped around 10:20 p.m. Sunday while a jailer was handing out medications to prisoners. Grimes and the woman were spotted around 3:45 a.m. Monday. They bought gas at a convenience store in New Virginia.

Monroe Mayor authorizes sale of Madsen Field Newton Daily News MONROE — Madsen Field’s fate has now been decided after Monroe Mayor Douglas Duinink signed a resolution Monday authorizing the sale of the property to Dollar General Corporation, according to city clerk Kim Thomas.

The mayor’s signature came a week after the Mon-

roe City Council voted 3-2 in favor of the sale during a regular meeting. Councilman Nathaniel Bradbury voted “no” that evening and urged the mayor to veto the sale.

In a phone interview Monday evening, Duinink said he understood his legal right to veto the resolution, but felt it was his position to honor the council’s decision and not override it.

The city estimates Monroe would see $13,000 per year in local option sales tax revenue and the state of Iowa would receive $58,000 from the Dollar General. This is based on a store with $1.3 million in sales per year.

Roof, insulation fire at Trinity Towers

2-year-old Grimes boy died of drug overdose GRIMES (AP) — An autopsy shows a 2-year-old boy found dead in his Polk County home died of a drug overdose.

The Polk County sheriff ’s office announced Monday that an autopsy by the county medical examiner’s office determined Mason Wyckoff died of acute Oxycodone toxicity.

The death was ruled a homicide.

The medical examiner’s office also found the child’s mother, Stephanie Erickson, died of Oxycodone toxicity. Her death was ruled a suicide.

Oxycodone is a drug used to treat pain.

The 276-foot by 252-foot parcel on Highway 14 was sold for $150,000 and DG Corporation has proposed a 130-by-70 square foot retail store at that location.

Great Lakes no help for a struggling Trump DES MOINES (AP) — The numbers are stark for Donald Trump. Down in Colorado, Virginia and North Carolina.

Hillary Clinton is starting to spend a little money in Georgia and Arizona, states that any Republican running for president ought to be able to count on.

The road to 270 electoral votes — the threshold to clinch the presidency — increasingly looks to be a series of uphill climbs and dead ends for Trump in the usual collection of most competitive states.

The GOP nominee needs a place to reset the electoral map, and stops this past week in Michigan and Pennsylvania suggest he’s looking at the industrial heartland states on the Great Lakes. It’s a part of the country where he has said he can compete with Democrat Hillary Clinton.

Trump will find the going there no easier than anywhere else.

“Trump has to start making some moves,” said Stephan Thompson, a senior adviser to Gov. Scott Walker, R-Wis. “We need to see a positive week out of

You’re not seeing that anywhere, whether it’s in Wisconsin, Ohio or elsewhere.”

With three months to go until the Nov. 8 vote, the map for Trump is foreboding.

Early voting will not begin until next month, giving people ample opportunity to change their minds. But Clinton has a clear advantage in national and state preference polls at a critical moment in the campaign — after the conventions and as voters start paying serious attention to the race.

Judge tosses flag desecration charge that was part of pipeline protest DES MOINES (AP) — A flag desecration charge was dropped Monday for a man who protested a crude oil pipeline that crosses his property by hanging an American flag upside down at his home, online court records show.

Homer Martz, 63, was charged Friday under a state law that makes it illegal to defile, cast contempt upon, satirize or deride a flag. That law, however, was declared unconstitutional by a federal judge in December 2014 and state prosecutors were told not to enforce it.

The law, which lawmakers have not removed from the books, says law enforcement officers have a duty “to enforce the provisions of this chapter, and for failure to do so they may be removed as by law provided.”

Calhoun County Attorney Tina Meth Farrington filed a motion to dismiss the charge Monday, saying that she read the 2014 federal ruling and concluded she shouldn’t pursue the charge.

“The Legislature should take immediate action to repeal this law so that other citizens and law enforcement are not caught in this type of situation again,” she said.

A judge approved the motion Monday afternoon.

Calhoun County Sheriff William Davis said that at the time Martz was arrested he and the two arresting officers were unaware the law had been struck down.

The American flag was hanging upside down on a flagpole underneath a Chinese flag at Martz’s home, and a sign on the flagpole under the flags said: “In China there is no freedom, no protesting, no due process. In Iowa? In America?”

Martz, an Army veteran, told the Fort Dodge Messenger that it was a display of protest due to frustration over having no say in the construction of the Dakota Access pipeline near the well that serves as the drinking water source for his home.

Iowa regulators have allowed the Texas-based company to build the 1,134-mile pipeline across the state and use eminent domain laws to condemn private land for it. That decision is the subject of lawsuits filed by landowners who contend Iowa law prohibits forced condemnation by a private company.

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Aug. 16, 2016 Local & State News CMB Coaches, athletes emotional after Baxter’s decision to end CMB sports sharing

Continued from Page 1A

Board member Debbie Meyer, who has spoken out in frustration at previous meetings as have other board members, said the board must think about the potential opportunities for academic growth, not just athletic growth.

“If it was just about athletics I think the decision would be simpler and cleaner, but it isn’t just about sports anymore,” Meyer said. “It’s about academics, following our core value, showing kids it matters how you communicate by being able to rely on your partners and trust your partner.”

Cory Robinson echoed Meyer’s comment and said they must learn from their past in order to move forward into the future.

“I’m not quite sure when ending athletics was more important than ending academics or school,” Robinson said. “Sports are great.

I love sports, but at the same time we have a school district — we need to be able to move forward.”

Following the vote, board president Jon Northrup read a prepared press release thanking the community for its faith in the board, and stating regular work sessions will be held in order to search for other options.

In an interview after the meeting, superintendent Todd Martin said Baxter is fiscally healthy right now, but finding a partner is ideal for the district’s future.

“We know we have some thinking to do around what our future looks like alone and, of course, making sure we are seeking out other creative ways in which we can partner,” Martin said.

The superintendent said he has reached out to other districts in the area to discuss possible sharing options that might be available, but said there is nothing in terms of plans yet.

“Baxter is healthy,” he said. “It’s not as if we are in a sense of urgency to do anything. We know we have a solid district. We have 93.1 percent kids coming to us. For a district our size, we are in the top 1 to 2 percent in the state for people coming in.

We know we’re appealing and we know people value what we have to offer.”

Baxter was in wholegrade sharing talks with Collins-Maxwell for four years, but a series of events this year, including an operational sharing agreement between Collins-Maxwell and Ballard School District, caused additional tension between the partners. Due to a difference of opinions on which direction each district wanted to go, sharing talks eventually ended.

However, Collins-Maxwell said they still wanted to share sports, but Baxter board members were in an agreement on Monday that there was no future with their partner.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — Rob Luther had time to prepare for it. Lori Fricke hoped there would be a change of heart.

In the end, several members of the community walked out of the Baxter School Board meeting with a sense of sadness.

Two communities that have been tied together for 29 years will now have to look at other options following Baxter’s 5-0 decision to end the CMB athletic sharing agreement Monday night.

“I felt like I knew it was coming so I had time to prepare for this day,” Luther said.

“My thoughts are two-fold: I am excited for what the future looks like at Baxter with our students, but we still have a full season with our CMB kids that we have to take care of.

“We need to make sure the current CMB kids are taken care of this year on the way out.”

Luther is a Collins-Maxwell graduate. He has been a principal at Baxter for 20 years. As the school’s football coach for more than two decades, Luther has an invested interest in Raider athletics.

“I have addressed it to this year’s team a couple times,” Luther said about the future of CMB. “Sitting in there tonight, I wondered about what I am going to have to say at practice (Tuesday). I have a great veteran football staff that has bled CMB but also understand the decision. We just have to be leaders to those kids and lead by example.”

It was a tough night for Fricke, too. Her and her husband Todd were both seniors when CMB was formed back in 1988. She graduated from Collins-Maxwell in 1989, taught for more than a decade at Baxter and is the current CMB Athletic Director.

“It’s just really sad,” said Fricke, whose three children all played for CMB. “I have already seen a lot of things on social media. The students are united. They want to be CMB

Raiders. I am hoping the current students will make the best of it.”

Several other coaches were in attendance Monday night.

Everyone was emotional. One current CMB athlete in the room left the meeting in tears.

Jason Aker is a teacher at Baxter. He and his family moved to the district in 2001.

Aker also is in charge of the defense on Luther’s football staff.

“I came into tonight expecting this, but at the same time I’m feeling kind of stunned,” Aker said. “It’s been a long three or four years as a parent and a staff member here. We have ridden a lot of waves, and had a lot of ups and downs. I just needed a decision. I am happy a decision was made, but it’s tough.

“It’s like losing a friend in a lot of ways. In my house, all of us wear black and silver.”

Aker’s oldest son Braydon will be a junior this year.

He will have one final year of athletics with his friends at Collins-Maxwell. Aker’s daughter will go through all of high school without Baxter’s long-standing partner.

“They have expected this decision,” said Aker, who moved to Baxter when Braydon was just 1 year old. “Our son has a lot of question marks about his future. I have great confidence that our board and our leaders are going to find a solution for those seniors who have put their whole lives into something like this.

“My eighth grader will be upset. She’s not a huge sports person, but she wears the gear and believes in CMB. It’s a change and change is always tough, but they are resilient.

They’ll bounce back.”

Luther envisioned some day seeing both districts join together to become CMB High School. Over the last few years though, he has not been as confident.

“I think our districts should be together. I think we make good partners,” Luther said.

“We both had things to offer to the other one, but it just didn’t materialize.”

The CMB athletic sharing agreement runs through the end of the 2017 baseball and softball seasons. The football team is beginning the first year of a two-year cycle this up-

coming season.

“Are we going to play eightman football, are we going to play Class A football or are we going to share with someone else? All of those are on the table,” Luther said. “I have talked to Todd Tharp (at the Iowa High School Athletic Association) multiple times. There are options out of there.”

None of those options will be better than what the Raiders currently have, according to former CMB athlete Chase Maher.

“I feel so bad for the kids who won’t get to experience growing up together with Collins, Maxwell or Baxter people,” Maher said. “Two of my best friends are from Collins and Maxwell, and if weren’t for CMB I would have never met them.

“It’s kind of a punch to the gut for everyone that ever wore a black and silver jersey with CMB on the front of it. That used to stand for something — pride — we were all proud of where we came from.”

AP Photo America’s Emma Coburn, upper left, follows Bahrain’s Ruth Jebet, left, in Monday’s women’s 3000-meter steeplechase final at the 2016 Summer Olympics at the Olympic stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Jebet won the gold medal and Coburn claimed the bronze medal, becoming the first female to win a medal in the event for the United States.

Americans settle for silver, bronze on beam Coburn makes history in 3K steeplechase RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Simone Biles is no longer Rio de Janeiro’s juggernaut. A mistake on the balance beam Monday prevented the American gymnastics star from a record-tying fourth gold at

the Rio de Janeiro Games.

The blunder allowed Sanne Wevers of the Netherlands to take the gold medal and Laurie Hernandez of the U.S. to slip past her for the silver.

It also ended Biles’ bid to become the first female gymnast to win five golds in a single Olympics.

American Emma Coburn became the first female from the United States to claim

“I feel very honored to have that as part of my story,” Coburn said.

Once again, however, the Rio Games were dogged by bad news: —The German Olympic team said canoe slalom coach

Stefan Henze has died from injuries sustained in a car crash last week.

—The Egyptian judo athlete who refused to shake his Israeli opponent’s hand after losing a first-round heavyweight fight was sent home.

The IOC called Islam El Shehaby’s conduct following his loss to Or Sasson “contrary to the rules of fair play and against the spirit of friendship

embodied in the Olympic values.”

—The Olympic Broadcasting Service said seven bystanders sustained minor injuries when a television camera it operates plummeted about 30 feet in the Olympic park. At least one woman was taken to a hospital.

Jason Johnson Iowa State wins Knoxville loses Jake Campos to Nationals in dramatic finish leg injury Newton Daily News

KNOXVILLE — Louisiana native Jason Johnson held off a hard-charging nine-time national champion Donny Schatz to win Saturday’s 56th annual 5-hour ENERGY Knoxville Nationals. Johnson claimed the 410cid sprint car championship at Knoxville Raceway.

“Parked it. B.C.!” Johnson said in victory lane as he dedicated his win to the late Bryan Clauson, who died of injuries suffered in a sprint car race in Kansas last week.

Johnson won his first Knoxville Nationals final by .16 of a second ahead of Schatz.

Shane Stewart ran third and race pole winner Daryn Pittman took fourth. NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Kyle Larson finished fifth.

Larson earned the hard charger award.

Matt Juhl was named the Rookie of the Nationals.

The Jesse Hockett Mr. Sprint Car Award presented by Cox Fabrication was awarded to Jamie Veal, who is the first Australian to earn the title since it began in 2002. The 2016 Mechanic of the race was earned by JJR Crew Chief, Phil Dietz.

AMES (AP) — Jake Campos, Iowa State’s only offensive lineman with significant experience, is out indefinitely.

Coach Matt Campbell says junior tackle Campos injured his leg Monday Campos in practice.

Campbell didn’t disclose details but said there isn’t a timetable for Campos’ return.

Losing Campos for an extended length of time would be a blow to the Cyclones.

Campos accounted for 23 of the 24 returning starts along Iowa State’s offensive line, and he was expected to blossom into an All-Big 12 type player.

Iowa State opens the season on Sept. 3 against Northern Iowa.

The Cyclones travel to Iowa City to face the instate Hawkeyes on Sept.

Cubs fire DJ who played song with references to violence CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Cubs have fired a DJ who played a song with references to violence after reliever Aroldis Chapman left the mound against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday.

The DJ was fired for playing “Smack My B---- Up” by The Prodigy.

Chapman served a 29game suspension to begin the season under Major League Baseball’s new domestic violence policy.

His girlfriend told police Chapman had pushed and choked her on Oct. 30.

Chapman said there was an argument but he was pushed down by his girlfriend’s brother, then got a handgun and fired eight shots into a wall and window while locked in his garage.

Prosecutors declined to file charges, citing conflicting accounts.

Cubs President Crane Kenney apologized, saying the music selection showed “a lack of judgment and sensitivity to an important issue.”

Team Penske to expand Xfinity Series cars by two next season

Logano

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Team Penske will expand its Xfinity Series entries to two full-time cars in 2017.

The second Mustang will allow Ford Performance to use the entry in its driver development program.

Stewart-Haas Rac-

ing also will field a new Xfinity team next year, giving Ford two new entrants in NASCAR’s second-tier series.

Penske scored its first Xfinity win of the season last Saturday when Joey Logano won at Watkins Glen.

Penske has been

fielding one full Xfinity entry since 2009 and won the driver championship the next year with Brad Keselowski.

Roger Penske said Friday he wants to use the Xfinity program to develop personnel that will eventually move to the Cup Series.

Pick Six: Games most likely to determine who reaches playoff

By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press If you can only watch six games this college football season, well, you should probably consider changing jobs or something because that is no way to live.

If that truly is your plight, though, we’re here to help.

Out of the more than 700 FBS regular season games (conference championships not included) scheduled to be played from Aug. 27 (Aug. 26, Australia time) to Dec. 2, these six will have the greatest impact on which teams reach the College Football Playoff: Oklahoma vs. Houston at NRG Stadium in Houston Sept. 5 The “neutral site” is about a 10-minute drive from the Cougars’ campus, but expect plenty of Sooners support at the home of the NFL’s Texans. The stakes are high for the Sooners, but Oklahoma can slip here and recover to make the playoff. This nonconference game makes the list because of its importance to Houston and the American Athletic Conference. If Tom Herman’s team pulls the upset, it could vault the Cougars and by extension the entire AAC into the playoff conversation. Lose and the playoff pretty much comes off the table for the Cougars — in week one.

Oklahoma at TCU Oct. 1 Since the Horned Frogs joined the Big 12 in 2012, every game against Oklahoma has been decided by one score. The Sooners and Frogs have split the last two, with the winner taking home at least a share of a conference title.

There will still be a long way to go in the season, and the Big 12 has the feel of a conference that will produce an upset or two from the middle of the pack. But these are the best two rosters and the winner in Fort Worth has the inside track to being the

league’s One True Champion.

Clemson at Florida State Oct. 29 The winner of this game has won the last seven Atlantic Division titles and as Jimbo Fisher and Dabo Swinney have grown their programs into national title contenders, it has become one of the most significant rivalries in the country. In each of the last three seasons, the winner has gone into the postseason with a chance to win the national championship. There is certainly a possibility both the Seminoles and Tigers could be playoff teams in 2016, but only one can win the ACC and this showdown in Tallahassee could end up being a playoff elimination game.

Alabama at LSU Nov. 5 Since the Tigers’ 9-6 Game of the Century victory in 2011, the Crimson Tide has won five straight in the series. As Ole Miss can attest, beating Alabama does not guarantee an SEC West championship. But no SEC West team has won the division in college football during Nick Saban’s time at Alabama without beating the Tide.

Stanford at Oregon Nov. 12 The Ducks (two) and Cardinal (three) have won all the Pac-12 titles since the conference broke into divisions in 2011. The twist last season was Oregon won the headto-head meeting and probably spoiled Stanford’s playoff hopes, though the Cardinal still went on to win the conference. The Pac-12 could be looking at another season with a two-loss champion.

Michigan at Ohio State Nov. 26 Michigan State fans, feel free to be a little slighted — the Spartans have won two of the past three Big Ten titles, after all. That said, the second Harbaugh-Meyer matchup sets up to be the first of many to decide the Big Ten East, and send the winner to Indianapolis.

MLB STANDINGS

AP photo Bahamas’ Shaunae Miller, left, beats United States’ Allyson Felix, right, to win the women’s 400-meter final during the 2016 Summer Olympics at the Olympic stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil on Monday.

Olympics Continued from Page 1B smoke and ash from a nearby wildfire billowing over the field hockey stadium in Deodoro Monday afternoon.

Germany and the United States had finished playing a women’s field hockey quarterfinal about an hour before the smoke became noticeable.

Already a three-time gold medalist (all-around, team and vault) when she walked onto the floor Monday, Biles was a favorite on beam as the reigning world champion.

She topped qualifying last week and had just completed the most difficult part of her routine — a tumbling pass that stretches the length of the 4-inch wide slab of wood — when she missed the landing following her punch front flip.

Other highlights from Day 10: Felix Settles For Silver: It took a dramatic dive by Shaunae Miller of Bahamas at the finish line to win the women’s 400-meter final, preventing American Allyson

Felix from capturing a record fifth Olympic gold medal.

Miller clocked 49.44 seconds, running in lane 7, to narrowly hold off Felix, who finished in 49.51.

Shericka Jackson of Jamaica won the bronze in 49.85.

Felix now has seven Olympic medals, including three silvers. She could still run both the 4x100 and the 4x400 relays in Rio. The 30-year-old American entered the games as one of six women with four Olympic gold medals in track and field.

Lone Russian: The lone Russian track and field athlete at the Olympics has won her appeal to compete in Rio. The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled early Monday that Darya Klishina is eligible to take part in Tuesday’s long jump qualifying because she has been based outside of Russia for the last three years and has been subjected to regular drug testing.

Ducking Out: The Oregon Ducks are taking a page from the New England Patriots, who halted practice last week to watch Nate Ebner

compete in Olympic rugby sevens.

Devon Allen will make his Olympic debut later Monday when he runs in the opening heats of the 110-meter hurdles.

The Ducks plan to take a break from practice to watch the wide receiver run his heat.

Golf Again: Brazilian native Miriam Nagl has been chosen to hit the opening tee shot Wednesday for women’s golf, at the Olympics for the first time since 1900 in France.

On Sunday, Justin Rose won the first golfing gold medal since 1904 in St. Louis when he beat Henrik Stenson by two strokes on the Olympic course.

Kenyan Rudisha Wins Another 800 Title: David Rudisha of Kenya has won his second 800-meter Olympic title in a row with a devastating last lap, beating Taoufik Makhloufi of Algeria. Clayton Murphy of the United States took bronze.

This time, there was no world record, but his time of 1 minute 42.15 was his season’s best.

Often the best expectation to cling to is no expectation at all.

Preconceived ideas about how we want it all to go will only limit our ability to use and enjoy how things actually happen. The solar trine of Uranus spurs us to let go of what we think will occur to make room to interpret the full majesty of what actually unfolds.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 16). You trust the others, but the bottom line is that they don’t know what’s best for you. You have full involvement in the processes that affect you this year and will thereby create your own destiny. Next month brings a development that will inspire you to build.

You’ll invest and grow your realm of influence in November. Virgo and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 3, 33, 18 and 49.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It’s a specific kind of glory you’re yearning for. The people around you may be incapable of delivering what you need. Should you choose to seek a new set of friends, you’ll find them. Start by hanging out somewhere different.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

They’ll voice an opinion, and you’ll feel pressure to chime in. You’re not obligated to.

You’re not even obligated to listen. Sometimes the kindest

and most appropriate stance is: “I don’t know.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You understand that your truth is not the only truth, and you respect the rights of others, including their right to disagree with you. This way of being in the world makes you bigger, not smaller.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’re interested in so many different things today that your work will probably take on a meandering quality. Don’t judge yourself or put yourself in a position to be judged by others. It will all make sense a little later.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Aggressive people want to win, but so do nonaggressive types.

The difference is that aggressive people are only truly satisfied with the win if they’re sure the loser has suffered some.

Those types will only bring you heartache.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

They like you, but that’s not what’s important here. Furthermore, the praise may not fit your mental script, and the accolades won’t be what you expected, either. The point is, your contribution is making a difference.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You are naturally mesmerizing today, and part of it is your tendency toward indecision.

They’ll watch you swing back and forth, not knowing where you’ll land. This has a hypnotic effect.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

There are those who simply haven’t learned where the boundaries are yet, and they will keep taking for as long as they are allowed. Unless you claim your rights, they won’t know you have them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). The comments you make have a way of evoking strong feelings and awakening people’s senses. Enjoy the extra attention that’s swirling around you today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your heart is as sensitive as the hearts of other, more demonstrative people in your midst; it’s just that you don’t show it. Your feelings will become more manageable when you privately acknowl-

edge them.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

There have been times in the past when you distanced yourself from the decision-making process just to keep things simple for the group. Get back in the information loop now.

They need you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Go on and follow the muse.

Like the wildflowers growing just off to the side, she’s beckoning you away from the path the others are following.

Your work will be better for the detour.
