Jason W. Brooks/Daily News A group of about 25 people toured Berg Middle School on Tuesday, looking at aspects such as the narrow hallway seen on the right. The district is asking voters to go to the polls Sept. 13 and approve a $26.9 million bond to rebuild the school while minimally impacting taxes, but that levy is a small piece of much bigger tax situation for area residents.

Berg bond only impacts debt service levy

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The Newton Community School District’s proposed levy increase for a Berg Complex rebuild will only give some property owners an increase of about $8 per year in taxes — but there’s much more to taxes or levies or valuations than this simple example.

Between school district, municipal and

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.

The Newton Police Department is adding to its fleet by way of an electric Zero Motorcycle.

The department was awarded $26,000 through an Alliant Energy Bright Ideas grant to purchase the motorcycle along with funds for training and safety equipment.

City council approved accepting the Bright Ideas grant and the purchase of the motorcycle for $19,867 from Fender’s Cycle in Des Moines at its Monday meeting.

Burdess “When we initially put in the application, we only put in the cost of the motorcycle,” Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess said. “Through discussions and partnering with Jackie Boat and Hometown Rewards, we really identified Newton as a pilot project for this unit.”

As a pilot project, the department will provide information to Alliant Energy, such as energy savings costs of the electric motorcycle versus a standard motorcycle or patrol car, to the activities the motorcycle is used for and the crimes or issues that were resolved as a result of the motorcycle’s use. Those statistics will be delivered once a month for at least one year.

“Alliant Energy really wants to utilize the data that we gain from this to potentially develop credits for other departments or city agencies to purchase electric vehicles to utilize within their operations,” Burdess said. “We felt pretty honored for them to not only fund the cost of the bike but of the entire project.”

Along with only running electricity, the Zero brand strictly on motorcycle is a dual purpose bike that is smaller than the traditional police motorcycle, which makes it ideal for patrolling areas of the parks not accessible by squad cars.

Also, the city, by original design, has a number of narrow streets and alleys that can be problematic when attempting to enforce effective speed and traffic stop in a traditional police vehicle.

The motorcycle operates at a cost of a penny per mile and requires no maintenance beyond brakes and tires and has no tailpipe emissions.

Its operating range is approximately 190 miles per charge and the battery pack is rated for 300,000 miles. It can reach speeds of up to 98 miles per hour and operates with little or no noise.

The electric motorcycle is projected to reduce fuel costs from an average of 11.2 cents per miles to 1 cent per mile and reduce air emissions and maintenance fees of a traditional motorcycle and squad cars. It will be available for pick up in approximately three to four weeks.

“I think we are all really going to learn a lot from this experience, and although my focus is on the utility of it in our daily operations of policing, I think we can really benefit the entire government industry by providing this data,” Burdess said.

Junior Achievement returns to Newton Program to be integrated into NHS, WEST academy classes

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News An internet search for the presence of a Junior Achievement program in Newton won’t get very far.

That’s because that organization, which

teaches business and finance concepts to young people, hasn’t had any reach into Newton-area schools or anywhere else in Newton in recent years. A grant obtained by the Newton Development Corporation will help bring a guest-pre-

senter element to business classes at the WEST Academy (formerly the Basics & Beyond program) and Newton High School.

Metro Creative According to the National Center for Children’s Vision and Eye Health, visual functioning is a strong predictor of academic performance in school-age children and vision problems can be treated successfully if detected early.

Put children on the path to a successful school year Prevent Blindness Iowa declares August as Children’s Eye Health and Safety Awareness Month Newton Daily News To help put children on the path to a successful school year, Prevent Blindness Iowa urges parents to address their child’s eye health needs. Prevent Blindness Iowa has declared August as Children’s Eye Health and Safety Awareness month to inspire parents to make their child’s vision health a priority.

According to data from the National Center for Children’s Vision and Eye Health at Prevent Blindness report, “Children’s Vision and Eye Health: A Snapshot of Current National Issues,” visual functioning is a strong predictor of academic performance in school-age children. In addition, uncorrected refractive errors in infants and preschool-age children are associated with developmental delays, as well as with clinically identified deficits in cognitive and visual-motor functions that may in turn affect school readiness. Vision problems can be treated successfully if detected early. Vision screenings along with complete eye examinations are two critical ways to identify possible vision problems and get children connected to treatment.

Children generally do not

complain about problems with their vision. Eye problems that are not corrected may lead to a permanent loss of sight. Steps parents can take to ensure healthy vision include: • Watch your child while at play, and while looking at books, pets or other people. If something does not seem right, discuss this with your child’s doctor.

• Talk with your child’s doctor about any family history of vision problems (such as “lazy eye,” a “crossed eye,” use of an eye patch as a child to correct vision, or need for eyeglasses with a strong prescription).

• Ask at every well child visit if your child’s eyes and vision have been checked.

• Ask for results of all vision screenings and make sure you understand what they mean.

A vision screening conducted by your child’s doctor, daycare, or in their educational setting may result in a recommendation that he/she see an eye doctor to evaluate a problem found during the screening. If so, be sure to make and keep that appointment.

Unfortunately for many families, cost and access to eye care is a limiting issue. The Affordable

Care Act mandates that all plans in the Health Insurance Marketplace include vision coverage for children. In most states, that includes one comprehensive eye exam and one pair of eyeglasses.

Prevent Blindness offers additionalinformation and a free fact sheet, “The Affordable Care Act and Your Child’s Eyes.” Or, visit the Prevent Blindness Vision Care Financial Assistance Information resource.

Vision requirements for school enrollment vary by state.

In Iowa incoming kindergartners and third graders are required to have a vision screening or eye exam.

“Keeping children’s eyes healthy has been part of our organization’s mission since 1958,” said Jeanne Burmeister, Prevent Blindness Iowa Executive Director. “Our goal is to provide parents and teachers with the tools and information they need to help ensure the vision health of our kids today and well into their future.”

Continued from Page 1A are assigned based on that taxable amount. The homeowner pays taxes based on about a $56,000 value, with the majority of the tax going to the City of Newton and the Newton Community School District.

Jenny Blankenship of The PFM Group, which counsels the Newton and Prairie City-Monroe school districts and many other central Iowa governments on financial matters, said school districts and municipalities commonly are the biggest percentage of property taxes.

“School districts and municipalities often take the biggest fraction of property taxes — that’s common across the U.S.,” Blankenship said.

“But even within the large portion of property tax paid to schools, very little of that is assigned to paying down district debt.”

State code dictates limits of tax rates that local governments can impose, based on the assessed value of all properties within its boundaries. Those calculations have led Newton Schools to imposing a $15.81 rate, per $1,000 of tax valuation, on property owners in its district for

File photo Newton Community School District Director of Business Services Gayle Isaac makes a presentation about finance in a recent meeting. The district is asking voters to go to the polls Sept. 13 and approve a $26.9 million bond for a new Berg Complex that will increase a levy on property with tax valuation of $100,000 by only $8 per year, but that is a small piece of much bigger tax situation for the district’s residents.

the 2016-17 school year.

Out of the $15.81 Newton Schools collect from each $1,000, it will only spend $2.62 to pay down debt. The bond for the Berg facility would only affect that debt service levy, which would raise the overall school levy by eight cents per $1,000 to use $2.70 to pay down debt.

The NCSD would have 20 years in which to pay off its new bond debt, so the bond rate it can get if

Achievement Continued from Page 1A will make presentations to business classes in seven-week sessions this fall, with a written lesson plan and in-class projects built around those topics.

“This was all driven recently by a call, from both the schools and the business community, for more STEM education,” said Tanya Michener of the NDC. “Plus, it fits within Iowa Core standards, so it should appeal to teachers and many others.”

NHS business teachers Carla Cazett and Justin Liston will run the program in their classes, while Brian Springer and Phil Calvin will handle the delivery of Junior Achievement program at the WEST Academy, now housed in the Beard Administration Center.

Guest speakers representing Newton-area lines of work will be involved in the classroom activities. There are specific programs that target different age or grade levels and

the Berg vote passes will determine how much it actually costs the district each year to pay off the debt.

“Right now, bond rates are at a 40-year low,” Blankenship said.

This means the owner of a home with a tax valuation of $100,000 would only see an annual increase of $8 for the debt service alone with the four-cent increase.

Cazett said a Junior Achievement program called “Be Entrepreneurial” will apply to NHS’s Marketing I class.

“Titan” will be matched with the Marketing II class, and the freshman business class will have the “Career Success” program.

Junior Achievement has been around since 1919. After struggling to stay relevant at the beginning of the digital age, the organization seems to have found its feet again in the STEM and business worlds, and offers elementary, middle school and high school programs.

Some of the activities are at Junior Achievement facilities, but Newton will initially benefit from the classroom programming arm of the organization.

Michener said the Jasper County Foundation will serve as the fiscal agent for the funding element of the program. The foundation is having local business people, who frequently benefited from Junior Achievement years ago as students, write endorsement

Newton and Lambs Grove non-agricultural property owners have a much higher tax rate than anyone else in the county. City of Newton residents have a total tax levy of $17.15 this year, and between that levy, Newton Schools’ $15.81 levy, $8.25 from Jasper County and four entities that take less than $1 each, those Newton property owners pay more than $42 per $1,000 of valuation in 2016-17.

Lambs Grove property owners pay more than $37 per $1,000 of tax valuation, while property in Monroe and Prairie City is taxed at a much lower rate. Property in these areas which happens to also be in the Newton school district, is only at about $29 per $1,000.

The main difference between residential and commercial or industrial property is that tax valuation is 90 percent of assessed value.

An owner of a Newton

commercial or industrial property assessed at $100,000 is paying more than $42 for every $1,000 on 90 percent of the valuation, or $90,000. A four-cent increase from a Berg bond would take the tax on that property from $3,816 this year to about $3,824.

Owners of multiresidential units pay taxes on about 86 percent of assessed value for fiscal 2017, while agricultural land is levied at about 46 percent.

Rural county residents pay lower taxes due to not having the municipal tax, but also don’t technically have the convenience of parks, hospitals and businesses nearby.

“Keep in mind, this is just for the debt service levy, so if any other school or other local tax goes up, that will affect a tax bill, too,” Blankenship said.

“This is a very Newton-centric Junior Achievement program,” Michener said. “The call for it and support for it has been very organic. This has come from within the community.”

Cazett said there will be about one speaker per week, with an accompanying activity packet. She said it will be important to find dynamic guest speakers who make a connection with the audience, knowing the fickle teenage attention span requires immediate and sustained engagement.

Committed to community L

ast week the vital role newspapers play was thrust into the national spotlight by comedian John Oliver.

Oliver hosts “Last Week Tonight” on HBO and used about 20 minutes of his show to gush about his love of newspaper journalism and to highlight some of the challenges the industry is facing.

I thought the video was brilliant — hilarious, poignant and honest.

One of the most important revelations in his rant — to non-newspaper folks, perhaps — may have been the role newspapers play in delivering news on other platforms. Do you typically try to stay up on current events on Facebook?

Google? TV news? These sources are often repackaging the work of newspapers, Oliver said. And I screamed, “Amen!”

Is it glamorous to sit through a threehour school board meeting? Is it charming to sludge through mud and rain to report on a business story? Have you ever maneuvered through a city council packet? Approached the scene of a fatal accident? Sat through weeks of a jury trial?

If newspaper journalists had a beef with any of Oliver’s rant it was his pointing out the perils in the business. Newspapers are “in big trouble,” he said. And I screamed, “Really?”

Newspapers have been in “big trouble” since the invention of radio ... and then TV ... and then the internet ... but somehow we’ve survived. Sure there are large, metropolitan newspapers that are struggling, there is no doubt.

Empty Nest Curt Swarm

Nifty 50 class reunion Fifty of anything is worthy of pause, celebration and reminiscence. So it was with my 50th high school class reunion. We met, we talked, we ate, all of us looking so old, except for me, of course. We even got together for a float (hay rack) ride in Monroe’s Old Settlers Parade.

Absent, of course, were the classmates who passed away.

But their memory lives on.

It’s hard to believe that it’s been 50 years since I walked the hallowed halls of that two-story brick building that isn’t there anymore, signed an annual, or spent another hour in detention. But 50 years have slipped away, like an old friend leaving a party. Where have the years gone? The corn fields surrounding Monroe still smell the same as they did 50 years ago, heat rising off them in waves, concealing kids parking, or looking for gravel pits to skinny-dip in.

We were a small class at Monroe Community High School, but close knit. After graduation, we spread out to all corners of the planet, some never to return. It was a different world back then. The Vietnam War was raging, and military service for the guys was a matter of when, not if. It was a confusing time. Should we support the war or protest it? Should we go to work, college or the military? Gasoline was cheap, cars were big, and our ambitions grandiose. Now, in some state of retirement or semi-retirement, we look back in wonder. But that closeness we felt in 1966, and took for granted, is still there.

Two former teachers were present for the reunion.

That was nice. Their recall of students and events was just as sharp or sharper than ours. Considering the age difference between them and us, that’s amazing. I was relieved that they didn’t hold a grudge for some of the pranks we used to pull, like climbing the water tower to write graffiti, or worse. But all seemed forgiven, like dust and flies wiped from a windowsill.

Like most Midwestern small towns that are a shell of what they used to be, Monroe has become a bedroom town. A fire in the new high school caused an overnight consolidation with nearby Prairie City, forming Prairie City Monroe (PCM). It doesn’t seem right, considering Monroe and Prairie City were such rivals. The PCM Mustangs just doesn’t have the same ring as the Monroe Wildcats. But that’s life. Nothing stays the same, even the houses and streets of Monroe seemed smaller.

A nice touch to our 50th class reunion was that it was also the 50th wedding anniversary for a couple from our class. Fifty years of marriage, plus 50 years of survival for us all, equals grounds for celebration and story telling.

An even nicer touch, in addition to the Monroe Wildcat T-shirts we were able to purchase, was that one of our more creative and talented classmates and his wife came up with the idea of making fans out of our high school graduation pictures. No kidding. I’ve never seen anything more hilarious than all of us running around waving fans with our high school graduation pictures on them. We were so young. Some of us looked like babies, which we were, really.

The grand finale of the reunion, the crossing of the Rubicon, so to speak, for us, was the float ride in the Old Settlers Parade. We all sat on hay bales, and all had our fans of our 17-year-old faces. We waved them at the crowds. The people loved it. Going by the reviewing stand, we sang our high school fight song, in much weaker voices than we did 50 years ago. “We are the Wildcats, mighty, mighty Wildcats. Everywhere we go, people wanna know. Who we are, so we tell’m. We are the Wildcats, mighty, mighty Wildcats.”

On the back of the hay rack were the picture/fans of our classmates who have died. Together, we have all passed the point of no return.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

YOUR VIEW

Proud to call Newton home I am proud to call Newton my home, and if you agree, I expect you will also vote “yes” for the school bond on Sept. 13. My family and I moved to Newton a little over two years ago now, and we’re excited to have our 4-yearold daughter and 5-month-old son grow up to be Cardinals. In fact, the morning I drove down to Newton to interview for a science teaching position, I made sure to arrive early. I wanted to check out the town to better understand the community. I had never been in a community that backed their schools so much. I had never seen so many Cardinals painted underneath bridges, on walls, on water towers, or on

Berg rebuild is wise decision Sept. 13, citizens of the Newton Community School District will go to the polls to vote on building a new middle school, which will house grades 5-8.

Varying reasons heard in the community for voting against a new middle include the purchase and remodeling of the new administration building and the reconfiguration of the elementary grade levels. Other reasons have been heard but these two seem to be the most prevalent.

I would like to address those arguments. The purchase and remodeling of the new administration building was done with school sales tax monies (SAVE). SAVE dollars cannot be used for expenses the general fund covers. No tax dollars levied for schools were used for this purchase. Budgeted PPEL funds were used for interactive technology in the professional development rooms. Finally, and

the sides of buildings and all of this was visible before driving by any of the schools.

After exploring the town for a while, I still had time to talk to some Newtonians (I’m now excited to call myself a Newtonian). There was a sense of excitement displayed by the people that I spoke to. Whether they had children in school and are proud of the teachers that taught their children or commuters who worked in Des Moines but were happy to call Newton home, I knew that Newton was the place for me. Everyone I spoke to felt that Newton was going to pick itself up and again become the community it once was, if not better. I knew after speaking to these people that I needed this job. I needed to be a part of this community. Everything I heard

and saw in the community reaffirmed this desire. I wanted to move here with my family, believing that something big was going to happen to Newton, and I wanted to be a part of it.

I’m proud I received the job and now work with one of the hardest working school districts and staff in the state. I’m proud to wear red and black not just on game day, but as often as I can.

I’m proud to say my family and I have absolutely no plans to move anywhere else because our Newton Pride runs so deep. I’m proud to say I’m going to vote “yes” for a new middle school on Sept. 13. Not because I work for the school district, but because I want the best for both our children and our community.

most importantly, the needs and health of the Berg facility are unrelated to the purchase of the administration building.

The reconfiguration of grade levels within our elementary buildings is, also, unrelated to the needs and condition of the Berg building. The needs and health of this building would still need to be addressed even if no change had been made in grade levels within the elementary buildings.

A new building can be built with the least amount of impact to the learning environment.

Doing a rehabilitation of the existing building would occur during the educational year. This would mean much disruption to teachers and students, and it would mean obtaining portable classrooms for teachers and students. The estimate in October 2014 for the rehabilitation of the Berg building was almost $18 million — $650,000 of that figure was for portable classrooms. That is a shocking amount.

It is inevitable the district must do something with this building. What you, the taxpayer, need to ask yourself is would it be wiser to spend $18 million rehabbing a building, which would not address all of the needs of the building, or would it be wiser to spend $32 million, which will address all of these things.

The school board is levying less for schools today than they were in 2007. The current levy is $15.76 per thousand for the 2017 (current) school year. In 2007 the amount being levied for schools was $16.91. When the bond referendum is passed the tax levy will then increase eight cents per thousand. The total levy for schools will then be $15.84, compared to $16.91 in 2007.

Newtonians, I know you love your community. I know your Red Pride runs deep. I hope you will join me in voting yes on Sept.

13. Vote yes for kids — your kid, someone else’s kid. Vote yes on Sept. 13.

Brown awarded IDNR 2016 Conservation Leader Newton Daily News Raymond Brown, of Newton, who passed away on July 4, was posthumously awarded a 2016 Conservation Leader award by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources at the Iowa State Fair on Aug. 16.

Raymond’s widow Marie Brown, of Newton, accepted the award on behalf of the Brown family, with daughters Billie Bailey and Donna Brown, and granddaughter also in attendance.

Brown and his wife farmed for many years in the Rock Creek Lake watershed in Jasper County, just north of Rock Creek Lake. He implemented a number of soil conservation practices on their farm, and was a pioneer in the practice of no-till farming in 1970. He built terraces and farmed on the contour, all to protect the downstream Rock Creek Lake.

Brown was also hired by the Jasper County Sanitarian to plug abandoned wells and do other testing around the county all to

help groundwater resources. He served on the Jasper Soil and Water Conservation District for more than 30 years.

Through his work on the SWCD he came up with the idea

to purchase a no-till planter and other conservation equipment to rent out to farmers so they could try it out before investing.

He was the 1997 State SWCD Commissioner of the Year.

Cousin escaping mom’s abuse needs to find her own space DEAR ABBY: I’m a 21-yearold college student. Recently, my cousin (also 21) moved in with my parents and me because her mom is verbally and mentally abusive.

Lately, I’m having issues with her being here.

She constantly barges into my room, leaving me no time for myself. Most days she ends up napping in my bed instead of hers, leaving drool on my sheets. When she comes home from school, she drops all of her things in my room.

My parents cleared out a room for her, yet most of her stuff is in mine.

She gets ready in my room instead of hers and talks on the phone with her boyfriend loudly while I’m studying or reading.

She’s constantly complaining about school, her boyfriend, work, etc. If I get invited somewhere, she tries to tag along.

I don’t know what to do. I need time for myself. I can’t bring these issues up to her because she’s extremely sensitive and will see it as an attack. I don’t know how much longer I can take it because she is stuck here until November. Please help. — CALIFORNIA GIRL DEAR CALIFORNIA GIRL: You need to talk to your parents about your cousin’s lack of boundaries. Everyone needs personal time, and yours should be respected. Installing a lock on your bedroom door could guarantee that your cousin stays out in your absence.

However, because you are all adults — even though your cous-

in appears to be emotionally stuck in adolescence — some rules need to be established. If she would consider it an attack if they come from you, your parents should be the ones who deliver the message.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 13 and my problem is, when I look in the mirror, all I can see is ugliness.

My mother has heard the way I talk about myself, and she doesn’t like it one bit. But I can’t seem to stop because all I hear is, “You’re ugly or you’re fat. Go on a diet!” Is there something wrong with me?

Do I need help? If so, what type of help? — WEST COAST TEEN DEAR WEST COAST TEEN: Whether or not you are overweight is something your doctor should determine. As to your being “ugly,” most young teenagers go through a period of transition.

Your problem isn’t your looks. It’s the voice in your head. My advice to you would be to concentrate on developing the things you are good at — sports, music, art, drama — and let the rest take care of itself because it will.

DES MOINES — Gov. Terry Branstad has been named to an agricultural advisory committee that will advise GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump. The Trump campaign announced Tuesday that Branstad is part of a 64-member committee that will provide advice on the agricultural industry. It includes several governors and state lawmakers from around the country. Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey and Bruce Rastetter, president of the Iowa Board of Regents, are also on the committee.

PLEASANT HILL — An autopsy shows a man whose body was pulled from the Des Moines River drowned.

Polk County medical examiner Gregory Schmunk said the autopsy showed the cause of death was consistent with drowning.

Company to clean up old ash ponds CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — An energy company says it plans to start cleaning up four of the ash ponds underneath an interstate in Cedar Rapids ahead of a planned beautification project at Cedar Lake.

The decommissioned ash ponds were once used by Alliant Energy to store fly ash from a coal-fired power plant in the downtown area. The power plant was destroyed by flooding in 2008 and later demolished.

Alliant plans to fill the empty ash ponds with landfill liner and dirt to give it the look of a grassy hill. The goal is to prevent fly ash from migrating from the pits to other areas.

Alliant’s cleanup plan has been approved by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Work is likely to begin in late fall.

Supporters of the Cedar Lake project are happy with the effort because the ash ponds may become part of the overall urban recreational project. The ponds are not connected to the 115-acre lake, which is also owned by the utility.

The ash pond area could potentially be used as a recreational area.

Ralph Russell, Cedar Rapids city council member and chair of the Cedar Lake study group, said the city is still in talks with Alliant to take over ownership of the lake. Plans will not be finalized until environmental studies are complete in about six months to a year.

“We’ll not be able to plant trees on it. We’ll not be able to bore holes for poles or signs.

But certainly it could make for a nice grassy area and use it for trails,” Russell said.

DOT officials see big jump in Iowa traffic fatalities DES MOINES (AP) — Transportation officials say there’s a spike in traffic fatalities in Iowa this year, and there’s no driving force behind the jump.

Data from the Iowa Department of Transportation show at least 238 traffic fatalities recorded between the start of the year and the middle of August. There were 182 traffic fatalities during the same period last year.

“The change is huge,” said Steve Gent, the department’s director of traffic and safety.

There’s no specific reason for the jump, according to Gent. Still, he noted some possible factors: More people are driving Iowa roads and they’re driving more miles, in part because the price of gasoline has decreased in recent years.

There have been roughly 320 traffic fatalities every year in Iowa between 2013 and 2015. Gent said the department expects this year’s final tally to top that.

“There’s no way it’ll be below or near 320 ... we can’t make that up in the last four and a half months of the year,” he said.

Pat Hoye, bureau chief for the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau, said despite no clear answer to the data, there is room for improvement. He said about 30 percent of traffic fatalities involve impaired driving, and over 40 percent involve people not using seat belts. That’s despite a compliance rate for seat belt use that tops 90 percent.

The number of fatal crashes related to distracted driving has also increased, according to the non-partisan Legislative Services Agency. They used DOT data to show 11 traffic fatalities in 2015 were linked to distracted driving by phone or other device. That’s up from five in 2014.

Gent said it’s hard to gauge the accuracy of the data since the form used to report distracted driving has been updated in recent years, making it easier to report cases.

The department has no immediate plans to respond to the surge in traffic fatalities. Gent said the state has a longstanding campaign aimed at safe driving that utilizes physical message boards and social media to show people “how dangerous it truly is to drive” and “to take it more seriously.”

Catholic Worker house opens in Iowa City, provides shelter IOWA CITY (AP) — Officials say a Catholic homeless shelter in Iowa City has filled up a month after opening.

The three-bedroom Catholic Worker House provides up to 30 days of shelter to those in need.

David Goodner, a live-in volunteer, officially opened the facility with the help of fellow volunteer Emily Sinnwell. Goodner says two recently released prisoners and a single mother with two teenage sons are currently staying in the shelter.

According to Goodner, they have had to turn people away because the house is full, but the volunteers have managed to pay for hotel stays for a few people.

“The idea is to ask: if Jesus was alive today,

Did You Know?

where would we find him? He would probably be with the single mother, or in the face of the homeless war veteran.

If he was living in Iowa City today, that’s where you’d find Jesus,” Goodner said.

Guests are limited to a 30 day stay per city code, but Goodner said they can use that time to save money and “get back on their feet and back into the world.”

The Catholic Worker house is part of a decentralized volunteer-based Catholic Worker movement founded by Dorothy Day in 1933.

Goodner said that more than 250 volunteers have been brought in to help support the Iowa City house, and over $75,000 has been raised as well.

Donations were used to make a $40,000 down payment on the house and future donations will be used to make renovations and cover costs as they arise.

The shelter will work with other serviced agencies in the agency like Shelter House and the Salvation Army. The two released inmates are part of a re-entry program.

Goodner said they hope to eventually buy more properties to open more Catholic Worker houses.

“We’re always raising our capacity and maturing as an institution and, especially with the size we are now in Iowa City, a lot of the things we try and introduce will be phased in,” Goodner said.

10-year-old Iowa boy died in gun range accident GARNER (AP) — Authorities are investigating the death of a 10-year-old boy at a gun range in northern Iowa.

Police say in a news release that Cade Hartwig, of Clear Lake, suffered a head wound Sunday afternoon from a pellet gun at the Garner shooting range.

Garner City Administrator Randy Lansing said Wednesday that the boy and a younger brother went to the range with their grandfather, Tom Hartwig Sr., who also lives in Garner. Lansing says exactly what occurred at the range Sunday remains unclear, but no charges are expected to be filed. Police have characterized the incident as an accidental shooting death.

Iowa reports year’s first human cases of West Nile

AP Photo Bill Left Hand, of McLaughlin, S.D., stands next to a sign at the site of a protest Friday against construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline that will cross the Missouri River in Morton County. The pipeline would start in North Dakota and pass through South Dakota and Iowa before ending in Illinois.

Dakota Access pipeline owners sue North Dakota protesters BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — Developers of a $3.8 billion, fourstate oil pipeline sued in federal court Monday to stop protesters near an American Indian reservation in North Dakota from interfering with the project, alleging the safety of workers and law enforcement is at risk.

Dakota Access LLC filed a lawsuit against Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Chairman David Archambault II and other protesters, seeking restraining orders and unspecified monetary damages.

The protesters “have created and will continue to create a risk of bodily injury and harm to Dakota Access employees and contractors, as well as to law enforcement personnel and other individuals at the construction site,” the company wrote in court papers.

Archambault was among several protesters charged last week with disorderly conduct or crim-

inal trespass at the construction site near the Standing Rock Sioux reservation that straddles the North Dakota-South Dakota border.

The tribe sued federal regulators late last month for approving the pipeline, which will take crude oil from the Bakken oil fields in North Dakota to Illinois and cross the Missouri River just upstream of the reservation. The tribe argues the pipeline would disturb sacred sites and affect drinking water for the thousands of residents on the reservation and the millions who rely on it downstream.

Dakota Access said in court papers that threats have been made to workers, and rocks and bottles have been thrown, and that Archambault excused tribal employees from work last week to protest the pipeline’s construction.

Archambault told reporters Monday that he was arrested

DES MOINES (AP) — Authorities have reported 2016’s first confirmed human cases of West Nile virus in Iowa.

The Iowa Public Health Department said in a news release Wednesday that a female child and an adult male in Sioux County were hospitalized but are recovering.

The department says about 20 percent of people infected with West Nile virus will have mild to moderate symptoms such as fever, headache, body aches and vomiting. Less than 1 percent become seriously ill.

Experts say people can reduce their risk of exposure to mosquitoes carrying the virus by using repellents containing DEET, picaridin, IR3535 or oil of lemon eucalyptus and avoid outdoor activities at dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active.

The department says the last two Iowa deaths caused by West Nile virus occurred in 2010.

for “doing what everybody else was doing: demonstrating.” He said he expected more arrests and acts of civil disobedience to continue, calling the pipeline “a black poisonous snake” that “is made from nothing but greed.”

Workers accompanied by armed private security guards started construction on the project near the reservation last week.

Several sheriff ’s deputies and about 30 North Dakota Highway Patrol troopers were on site Monday, and the highway patrol asked motorists to avoid a state highway near the reservation because of the protests.

Texas-based Dakota Access claims the protesters are causing the company “to lose goodwill among its customers” because of delays and are “diminishing” its “opportunity to complete construction of the pipeline’s water crossing before its permits expire.”

Omaha OKs $250K to combat emerald ash borer OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha has committed $250,000 to continue its fight against a tree-killing insect.

The city council approved the $250,000 contract Tuesday with an Underwood, Iowa, company — Holland & McKee — to treat the trees menaced by the emerald ash borer.

Parks director Brook Bench says the city will spend $4.67 per inch of tree up to $250,000.

Bench estimated that several thousand trees will undergo the treatment. He says parks employees already have taken down about 1,000 other ash trees.

Officials hope to save up to 5,000 of 11,000 ash trees on city property, including parks and golf courses.

Court: Food supplier’s contracts can be kept secret IOWA CITY (AP) — An appeals court says a food distributor’s contracts with University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics contain trade secrets that should be kept secret.

The ruling from the Iowa Court of Appeals means the university

does not have to release its full contracts with Sysco under the open records law.

Sysco has fought to keep the records secret for two years, after the Cedar Rapids Gazette requested them.

The company argues that release of its pricing information would allow competitors to undercut its future bids, copy the incentives it offers to customers and cause other clients to demand similar pricing.

In 1898, Howard Snyder, a rural Austin, Minnesota farm boy accepted an offer from Frederick L. Maytag to start working at the Parsons Band Cutter & Self Feeder Company in Newton, Iowa. This marked the start of Snyder’s inventive career of nearly thirty years culminating in a series of innovations that propelled the Maytag name to the forefront as an iconic brand among washing machine manufacturers. Dr. Tom Hoover, a Newton Iowa historian, has written a book entitled How We Made The Gyrafoam: The Story of Two Midwestern Farm Boys Who Changed Washday Mondays Forever, which is now available for pre-order at the Newton Daily News. The book follows the life of Howard Snyder, raised near Rose Creek, Minnesota, and reveals the role Frederick L. Maytag, a farm boy from Laurel, Iowa, played as his benefactor and friend. Together these two outstanding men led The Maytag Company to the top of the washing machine world in 1926. Maytag once commented about Snyder that "90% of everything we make or improve upon is because of him." At the time of Snyder's death in 1927, Maytag lamented "I feel that I am losing a companion, my pal and dearest friend that I ever had."

Hopkins catches on with Ultimate Frisbee college club teams home and aboard

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Hopkins played on LUFDA in 2014.

LUFDA plays against teams from the University of Iowa and Iowa State University.

Hopkins said the commitment to playing on the LUFDA Division I team was much like playing a varsity sport.

Peder Hopkins was a traditional sports athlete through his high school years at Newton. Hopkins went a different route when he went to college after graduating from Newton High School in 2013.

One practice for the Drake University Ultimate Frisbee team and Hopkins was hooked. The club sport is growing across the United States at universities.

“There were several guys on my college dorm floor who had been into Ultimate during high school and I decided to go with them to a practice,” Hopkins said. “I enjoyed it. I kept going back, and I got better and better.

It’s a lot of fun.”

Hopkins played as a freshman on the Drake Ultimate team then transferred to Luther College in Decorah. Luther College has an Ultimate Frisbee team.

Hopkins said he tried out and made the team.

“Even though Luther is a small college it has an Ultimate team which plays in Division I against the large universities,” Hopkins said. “There’s only three small colleges which compete at the Division I level. In the college Ultimate, there is a Division III, which is all the small colleges.”.

Luther Ultimate Flying Disc Association (LUFDA) has become one of the most successful club sports programs in Luther College’s Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News history. Since its Newton’s Peder Hopkins handles an Ultimate Frisbee. He has creation in 2003, played on three different college Ultimate club teams, starting LUFDA has grown at Drake University as a freshman. His sophomore season was to become a na- on the Luther College Division I team then he spent his junior tionally recognized college year at the University of Nottingham, United Kingdom, team. It finished in a Luther College study-aboard program. At Nottingham, he helped the university’s Ultimate Frisbee team win a national fifth in the 2012 Division I national tournament. It plays in the West He said LUFDA would have six Plains Conference and in the North practices a week, running 2 to 2.5 Central Region. hours long. Hopkins said the sport

Olympics have my full attention T

he older I get, the more interest I have in the Olympics.

Full disclosure — I don’t get into the Winter Olympics near as much as the Summer version.

I love the swimming and track and field. I enjoy the basketball, and the Americans have done well in all of them.

Watching this year’s American gymnastics team brought back memories of a lot of other former teams who succeeded. Shannon Miller, Dominique Dawes, Nastia Liukin and Mary Lou Retton all captured the country’s heart with their brilliance in gymnastics.

None of them were as dominant as Simone Biles was this time around. I

This & That Troy Hyde know she didn’t quite bring back five gold medals, but she was so far ahead of everyone else in the four golds she won it was easy to see why Bela Karolyi called her the greatest gymnast of all-time.

Michael Phelps is amazing. I don’t think there’s any question about that.

I am not sure I expected to see what he gave us again. Those performances were incredible.

If Phelps doesn’t return in four years like he says, at least Americans can get behind Katie Ledecky, who stole the show when she was in the pool this summer.

Congratulations to Iowa native Jenny Simpson, who became the first American female runner to medal in the 1,500-meter run Tuesday night.

I get behind anything or anyone

is played by good athletes who wanted to continue competing in a sport at a high level but not in one of the traditional sports such as football, soccer and basketball.

“The Luther program was a study-aboard one for the entire academic year,” Hopkins said. “I’m a history major, and I have two more courses until I graduate, but the past year I’ve gotten more interested in public health and social work.”

So, Hopkins just returned from a year of college study at the University of Nottingham in Nottingham, England, United Kingdom. You guessed it. Hopkins played for his third Ultimate Frisbee team, earning a spot on Nottingham’s elite team for the 2015 season.

Nottingham won the Division UK national championship in April. In the semifinals, Hopkins scored the winning point over Nottingham’s arch-rival Birmingham.

Ultimate Frisbee is played on a field 70 yards long by 40 yards wide with two end zones from 20 to 25 yards deep. There are seven players on each team. Hopkins said each team lines up near its end zone and one team “kicks off.”

“It’s called a pull. One of the players throws the disc as far as he can to the other team’s end zone. Players play offense and defense, and you advance the disc by throwing it. You can’t catch and run with it,” Hopkins said.

Players throw the disc down field and it is caught by a teammate. Hopkins said a player who makes a catch has 10 seconds to make a throw or it is considered a turnover. If a thrown disc is not caught, it is a turnover. Defenders can make interceptions.

“I always wanted to study abroad, so the Luther program I just complet-

ed was a tremendous opportunity. I was learning a lot of knowledge at Nottingham, and playing on another Ultimate team,” Hopkins said. “Ultimate Frisbee is much bigger in the U.S. than in the United Kingdom. I showed up to the first practice at Nottingham to discover they are a little more loose about practices.”

Hopkins said he was able to play his way on the Nottingham team with his experience. He said he had to get used to the different terms used by the British players. In the UK, there were university club games every Wednesday compared to weekend tournaments played by the Luther team, Hopkins said.

Teams have two to three handlers, who are the main throwing players, and four or five cutters, who are receivers.

Hopkins said during the UK national tournament, he was a cutter. Points are scored when a team catches the disc in the opposing team’s end zone.

Ultimate is a non-contact sport and a self-officiated sport, Hopkins said.

“Players are pretty good about being competitive without the contact. It’s a game

played by quality people, who abide by the rules. It’s really a fun game. I had a great experience a Nottingham,” Hopkins said. “Yes, I plan to try out for the Luther team again when I return later this month for my senior year.”

Hopkins said Ultimate has several levels of play from recreational teams to professional teams. It appears on a list of possible emerging youth-oriented sports considered by the International Olympic Committee for future Summer Olympics.

Hopkins said his main sports at Newton High were football and soccer. He is the son of Steven and Sara Hopkins of Newton.

with Iowa ties. I can’t help it. I was screaming at the television in the newsroom last night when Simpson was rallying late to finish in third place.

Another Iowan made an impact at an Olympic games. We have certainly been fortunate.

Former Sioux City East standout Shelby Houlihan qualified for the finals of the 5,000-meter run Tuesday morning. She’ll run tonight at 7:40.

Hillary Bor, a former Iowa State Cyclone, is still competing, too. Bor ran in the 3,000-meter steeplechase Wednesday morning.

In football news, the Cyclones suffered two injuries recently. One is much bigger than the other though.

The injury to Jake Campos will probably cripple Iowa State as the program was not deep on the offensive line as it was. The Cyclones will now have to rely on very young players to step in and produce.

My family and I went to Kinnick Stadium last weekend for the annual Kids’ Day. It was the first time my

3-year-old daughter stepped into Kinnick Stadium.

While she doesn’t quite understand the magnitude of where she was, I am sure she will one day tell me it was the best day of her life.

I love Jim Harbaugh as a football coach. He helped bring back my San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl level, and that franchise took a big drop after he left.

But what Harbaugh does to the media is just ridiculous. He had another incident recently when a few reporters asked questions about suspended players on the Michigan Wolverines’ roster.

He can refuse to answer the question. He can say “no comment.” But telling them they ask too many questions and storm out of the interview session shows that he can be a big baby.

Relax Jimmy. You coach at Michigan after all.

Iowa looking to prove 12-0 start wasn’t a fluke

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa senior cornerback Desmond King finds some open field during a return against North Texas last season. The 2015 Jim Thorpe Award winner returns in 2016 after picking off a school-record eight passes last season for the Hawkeye defense.

IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa’s 12-0 start last season led some to label the Hawkeyes a fluke.

A blowout loss to Stanford in the Rose Bowl only seemed to confirm those suspicions.

Iowa is intent on proving that it’s still a national contender and the Hawkeyes should have a team capable of doing so.

Iowa is a favorite to repeat as Big Ten West division champions.

The Hawkeyes return 13 starters from last year, when they finished 8-0 in the West and fell inches shy of a playoff berth.

Quarterback C.J. Beathard had a strong first season as the starter despite a litany of injuries.

If Beathard can stay healthy, a run at Big Ten Player of the Year isn’t out of consideration.

Iowa’s defense, which allowed just 20.4 points per game, will be led by Thorpe Award-winning cornerback Desmond King.

“Basically since 1999, when we got here, our goal has been the same, to be Big Ten champions,” said coach Kirk Ferentz, who is entering his 18th season with the Hawkeyes.

“I think what it comes down to is, all you can ask for is opportunity. We feel like we do have a solid foundation built right now.”

Season Opener: The Hawkeyes shouldn’t have too much trouble when they host Miami of Ohio on Sept.

3. The Red Hawks went just 3-9 in 2015 and were pounded at Wisconsin 58-0. Miami averaged a paltry 17.9 points per game last season while giving up 32. Iowa dominated Illinois State in last year’s opener, the first sign that perhaps the Hawkeyes were in for a special season.

Sensational C.J.: Beathard emerged as one of the top quarterbacks in the Big Ten in 2015 despite injuries that hampered his mobility. Now healthy and a senior, Beathard appears poised to put together one of the best seasons an Iowa quarterback has ever had under Ferentz. Beathard threw for 2,809 yards with 17 touchdowns and just five picks a year ago, and Ferentz recently compared him to Brad Banks, who was second in the Heisman Trophy voting in 2002. “There’s just something about him,” Ferentz said.

Back-To-Back?: Iowa’s powerful rushing attack paved the way for its offense last season, but star running back Jordan Canzeri has moved on. The Hawkeyes should be fine, however, if they lean on big back LeShun Daniels Jr. and speedster Akrum Wadley. Daniels and Wadley each rushed for more than 190 yards in a single game in 2015 and appear ready to play bigger roles.

Key Games: Iowa’s season will likely come down to a three-game stretch starting in late October, with home games against Wisconsin and Michigan wrapped around a road trip to Penn State. Iowa fans know better than to sleep on North Dakota State’s trip to Kinnick Stadium on Sept. 17.

The Hawkeyes will be coming off its rivalry game with Iowa State, and the Bison are the five-time defending FCS champions.

Prediction: Iowa goes 11-1 and wins the West only to fall to Michigan State in a rematch of the Big Ten title game. Of course, Iowa could always go 8-5 — like it did in 2010, the last time the Hawkeyes entered a season with such high expectations.

Matt Campbell invigorates struggling Cyclones AMES (AP) — Rookie Iowa State coach Matt Campbell has already invigorated a program starved for signs of hope.

Turning that enthusiasm into sustained success will be a much tougher task.

Campbell, just 36 and the youngest Power Five coach in the country, has given a team long stuck in the Big 12 basement plenty of reasons to believe in his vision.

Campbell pulled together one of the best recruiting classes in recent memory last winter despite an extremely late start, and his 2017 class is currently among the top in the Big 12.

Campbell also has promised flashy new uniforms — and he and his staff ’s ability to navigate social media has only added to the notion that Campbell is the key to a bright future for the Cyclones.

But Iowa State has won just five games over the past two seasons, and it’ll have to replace nearly its entire offensive line from 2015.

The Cyclones open the season Sept. 3 against Northern Iowa.

“I think our team and our football players within the program have really started to buy into the change,” Campbell said.

“Our concentration points didn’t have much to do with scheme, I’ll be honest with

you. A lot of it had to do with some core values that I believe in and attitude and effort, really understanding the ability to perfect your craft.”

Season Opener: As strange as it might sound, winning the home matchup against the Panthers will be enormous for Campbell.

Even though former coach Paul Rhoads said on his way out the door that Iowa State will make a bowl in 2016, the Cyclones will have to have a lot of things go right for that to happen. A loss to their FCS in-state rivals would dampen much of the enthusiasm Campbell generated in the offseason — especially with a trip to Iowa City to face the hated Hawkeyes looming the following week.

Skill Position Power: The Cyclones have two of the best skill position players in the Big 12 in sophomore running back Mike Warren and wide receiver Allen Lazard. Warren — who in an ironic twist nearly committed to Campbell when he was at Toledo before Iowa State swooped in — led all freshmen nationally with 1,337 yards rushing in 2015.

“I recruited the heck out of him and at one point he was this close to committing to me at the University of Toledo. So I was fired up to see that face in the locker room when I came to Iowa State,”

Campbell said. Lazard, a former four-star recruit who passed up an offer from Notre Dame to stay at home in central Iowa, caught 56 passes last season with six touchdowns.

Lined up?: The biggest concern for Iowa State is whether or not its patchwork line will open enough holes for Warren or keep quarterback Joel Lanning upright enough to get the ball in Lazard’s hands. Tackle Jake Campos is the lone returning starter, but he suffered a leg injury in fall camp and is out indefinitely.

Key Games: Iowa State has a chance to finish strong if it can survive a front-loaded schedule without getting demoralized. The Cyclones close the season with a trip to woeful Kansas, followed by home games against Texas Tech and West Virginia — all games they should have a chance to win. But road trips to Iowa and TCU in September will make getting off to a strong start very difficult for Iowa State.

Prediction: Iowa State moves to 3-2 with a home upset of Baylor to open October.

But the Cyclones get buried under the weight of the Big 12 season and finish 4-8 — despite giving vaunted Oklahoma a major scare during a Thursday night home game in November.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa State wide receiver Allen Lazard (5) caught a team-high 56 passes and scored six receiving touchdowns for the Cyclones last season. Lazard, shown here in the last year’s opener against Northern Iowa, returns this season to give Iowa State some offensive punch.

AP Photo United States’ Evan Jager wins the silver medal in the men’s 3,000-meter steeplechase final Wednesday in the 2016 Summer Olympics at the Olympic stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Jager broke a 32-year medal drought in the Olympic steeplechase for the American men.

‘Awesome Hour’ on the track as US captures six Olympic medals RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Tianna Bartoletta kicked off her country’s whirlwind run of medals on the night. So, by all rights, she should get to name it.

Fittingly, the newly crowned Olympic long jump champion went with “Awesome Hour.”

In a span of about 60 minutes Wednesday night, U.S. athletes hauled in a bevy of medals: Bartoletta and Brittney Reese went 1-2 in the long jump, Tori Bowie captured a bronze in the 200 and Brianna Rollins, Nia Ali and Kristi Castlin swept the medals in the 100-meter hurdles — a feat that’s never been accomplished in that event.

A banner evening, for sure.

The nation entered the night with 13 medals and left the track with a total of 19 — five gold, seven silver, seven bronze.

“It was an awesome hour,” Bartoletta said.

She started things off by unseating Reese, the defending Olympic champion, in the long jump. Moments later, Bowie won her second medal in Rio by taking bronze in the 200 meters. Not long after that, the hurdlers made history.

This was the seventh medals sweep by the U.S. track team in the Olympics and the 23rd for U.S. women in the history of the Summer Games.

And yes, they realized what their fellow Americans were up to.

Ali watched Bowie, her suitemate in Rio, bring home another medal as the hurdler waited to take the track.

That fired Ali up. And then her hurdles teammates did the same thing.

How about this for an early birthday present: About an hour after the race Rollins turned 25.

And to think, the evening got off on the wrong foot when Justin Gatlin surprisingly went out in the semifinals of the 200.

There went a good shot at an Olympic medal. There went another showdown with Usain Bolt.

An ankle injury hampered the 34-year-old Gatlin, who won a silver medal Sunday in the 100.

Earlier in the day, Evan Jager earned silver in the 3,000-meter steeplechase — America’s first medal in that event since 1984.

Former Iowa State Cyclone Hillary Bor, another American distance runner, finished eighth in the event by running a personal-best time.

Bor is a sergeant in the U.S. Army and one of four runners of Kenyan descent who’ve taken a unique path to Rio by enlisting in the military, earning American citizenship and training with the Army’s World Class Athlete Program.

Bor’s brother is currently serving in Afghanistan.

“I tried to hang in with them but I’m not ready for that kind of pace,” Bor said. “I feel good with my effort and thinking of how I thought I would never be here but to come here and finish in the top 10. That is such an accomplishment. It’s a good experience. I’ve never been in this kind of atmosphere.”

Astrograph

The full moon in Aquarius reflects the generous heart space of the Leo sun, bringing up questions along the way. If you’ve given your whole self to another, do you still need to filter what you say to this person? Should you do what comes naturally (authenticity) or should you center all priorities on your one and only (selflessness)?

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 18). You’ll flex a new part of your personality this year, daring to disagree with the authorities in your life and opting for different modes of self-expression. You don’t need permission to shine, but you’ll get it anyway in November.

February puts a new venture on the front burner. March will focus on a special relationship.

Cancer and Aries adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 8, 10, 43, 20 and 11.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Sometimes you think things through, and other times it seems like the thoughts are thinking through you. A series of rapid-fire thoughts will lead to a profound revelation that changes everything.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The people from your past are important to you, even if they don’t have a lot to do with where you’re headed. You’ll make efforts to keep in touch,

not because you should, but because these contacts are part of who you are.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The task at hand is an awkward one. So, you’re not the best at this. You don’t have to be the best; all you have to be is (SET ITAL) your (END ITAL) best.

You’ll hit the pillow tonight knowing that you used this day to its full potential.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’ll act on the best idea that occurs to you in the moment. If you want better ideas to occur to you, don’t worry; they will.

It’s a natural function of exposing yourself to such moments repeatedly.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Life leads you to do such funny, contradictory things, and then you’ll laugh as though you were merely a witness to this. Of course, you have to deal with consequences that a witness wouldn’t have to worry about.

Objectively, you feel the situation won’t bring out your best and the crowd won’t be a good fit for you -- and yet, inexplicably, you want to be included.

The reasons are primal and hard to argue with.

Newton native to join as host of ‘The View’ Haines shares expectations in preparation of show

By Savannah Eadens Newton Daily News

Submitted Photo Earlier this month in was announced that ABC News correspondent and Newton native Sara Haines would be on “The View” as the daytime talk show begins its 20th season.

After filling in for the past season, Newton native Sara Haines will finally be in a position she’s wanted since the start of her career. Beginning the first week in September, Haines will be an official

member of “The View.”

“I’ve always loved the setting of talk TV and off-script television,” Haines said. “It’s so different from the regular morning news, although I like that too. ‘The View” has the talk format I’ve always wanted to go to.”

Haines was born in New-

ton and grew up here with her parents and three siblings as the second of four children.

A 1996 Newton High School graduate, Haines attended Smith College in Northampton, Mass., where she received a degree in government in 2000. Prior to joining ABC News as a lifestyle anchor for “Good Morning America” in 2013, Haines was known for her role on the fourth hour of HAINES | 3C

Newton girls help lost children at the Iowa State Fair

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News DES MOINES — You’re waiting for your grandson to take his turn on the big yellow slide at the Iowa State Fair. It’s hot outside so you tell him you’re going to get a lemonade and you’ll be right back, but when you return you can’t find him. You scan the line, the slide, the surrounding children and the line again, but you don’t see him anywhere. You begin to panic.

This is an example of an instance that happens nearly every day at the Iowa State Fair. A child goes missing, and the Iowa State Patrol Lost Kids staff are prepared for this situation.

Across from the grand stand, inside the Horner Service Center is the Lost Kids room, a hub for lost children or parents in search of their children. A first aid room is next door.

The Lost Kids room is well lit with windows, and has games, toys and a bed to make the children comfortable.

Outside of the room is a desk with a computer, pager and phone for staff.

including: Sam Cutts, Kristin Samson, Evelyn Berryhill, Amanda Reynolds, Dusti Antle, and Grace Dethrow.

They work with Iowa State Fair Public Safety and Iowa State Patrol including trooper Doug Cutts, of Newton.

Lost Kids staff is responsible for making an Iowa State Fair page for lost children 11 and under, lost or disorientated senior citizens and emergencies.

The purpose of their job is to communicate with authorities and help care for children who become separated from their caregivers.

“I like talking to the kids and knowing that we’re helping them calm down if they’re worried,” said Berryhill, a Newton High School 2016 graduate who has worked at Lost Kids for two years.

When a child is brought to the Lost

Kids room, staff pages for parents, if parents’ names are known, and calls the compound where they radio out to state patrol the child’s information. The compound is a Public Safety headquarters of the state fair, operated by director Russ Slight.

Staff also fills out a form with the child’s name, date, time and location received, and parents name and keeps the child calm and oc-

cupied with toys.

“I can’t imagine as a child being lost at the fair, and we want to be able to help. If they are scared, we help them feel at home and not feel worried,” Samson said.

A similar protocol is done if the parents arrive at the Lost Kids area before a child and information is taken and the child’s name will be paged. Names are paged every 15 minutes the first hour and twice

within the next hour.

The number of lost children depends on the day and how busy the fair is. One day may be none and the next may be five. It varies, Samson said.

Samson, a Newton High School 2013 graduate, has worked at the Lost Kids room for four years and has seen a change in frequency of lost children at the Iowa State Fair.

“It’s slowed down a lot now. At the beginning, you’d get four of five kids a day, and now it has gotten, I think with technology and kids having phones at younger ages, that we don’t have as many kids in here because if they get lost they can call their parents,” she said.

The girls recommend parents write down the child’s name and phone numbers for the children to hang onto, or an information bracelet to wear, and to inform children to find and tell state troopers or officials they get lost.

“When the child and the parents are reunited, and the excitement and relief you can feel when they reunite, it’s a fun thing,” Samson said.

Alexander the Great Benefit in Prairie City will help parents with medical costs

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News Katie and Ryan Buck’s baby son Alex has a nickname.

Alexander the Great is like many other 8-month-olds. He laughs and loves to play on the floor with mom.

In family videos and portraits he’s bright-eyed and happy. But there is one difference.

Alex was born with Trisomy 18, a genetic disorder with causes the infant to have a heart defect and obstructive apnea from neurological muscle weakness in his tongue making it difficult to eat.

According to the Mayo Clinic’s online data on Trisomy 18, also known as Edwards Syndrome, there are fewer than 20,000 cases in the United States and is usually fatal before birth or within the first year of life.

Symptoms include a low birth weight, small abnormally shaped head and birth defects in organs that are often life threatening. Edwards syndrome has no treatment and Alex was only given two weeks to live by hospital doctors.

But Alex is beating the current statistical mile-markers.

He’s now 8 months old. Katie, formerly Katie Green, originally from Prairie City, said there is no roadblock in his immediate future that would keep him from hitting the one-year mark and beyond except the high price of medical care.

Alex’s medical needs cause financial strain on a family who is trying to do what’s right for their child. So in steps former PCM graduate Megan (Aalbers) Crees of Casey.

Her 3-year-old son Braydon Crees was born with

several challenges including severe hydrocephalus and severe lobar holoprosencephaly which required brain surgery.

Cress understands the financial challenges associated with a special needs child. So she’s organized a benefit to help make things a little easier for the Buck family.

Ryan is a filmmaker and owns his own video production business, so the parents have to purchase Alex’s medical insurance plus their own.

Mike Mendenhall/Prairie City News Katie and Ryan Buck hold their 8-month-old son Alex who was diagnosis with Trisomy 18, a genetic disorder which has caused neurological muscle weakness and heart defects in the Cumming infant.

A benefit to help the family with their medical bills will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Aug. 21 at Prairie City FRC’s Family Life Center.

Their insurance bills are topping $1,300 per month.

For Katie and Ryan to afford the 10 hours per day, seven days per week in-home shift care Alex requires, the baby will need to be approved for Medicaid but his application for disability is in limbo.

The only other way to enroll Alex in Medicaid is for Ryan’s

business to make less money.

“One of the unfortunate things about insurance is you cannot get home shift nursing care with any kind of private insurance. It doesn’t matter how great your plan is. You have to be on Medicaid,” Katie said. “So what we’ve had to do BENEFIT | 3C

Helping Hand

It’s all in a days work for a state fair FFA usher

By Mike Mendenhall Jasper County Tribune DES MOINES — At the Hillcrest 4-H/FFA dorms last Friday on the Iowa State Fairgrounds, 16-year-old Jacob Frier finished a round of the card game “B.S.” with other 4-H and FFAers from towns like DeWitt, Murray and Northeast Goose Lake and moves into a hand of Slapjack.

Laughing and slapping the deck on the card table, the Colfax-Mingo High School junior is getting in a little R&R before his nightly job duties start.

Frier is an FFA usher at this year’s fair, and that night he guided concert goers to their seats, distributing programs and doing anything else to make the Meghan Trainor headlining show go smoothly. Frier may be in the periphery, but he will still be an important part of the Iowa State Fair Grandstand show.

Frier’s main reason for joining FFA is agriculture. In 4-H, he shows sheep, two yearling ewes and four lamb rams. He’s not showing at this year’s Iowa State Fair, but he did exhibit at the Jasper County Fair in July and hopes to get to the state level soon.

But Frier also wants to get to a leadership role in Colfax-Mingo FFA by eventually earning a spot as district officer.

“I had a lot of fun in 4-H, I wanted to take it to then next level and fun in high school,” Frier said.

It may have only been day two, but Frier had already ushered a headline concert Thursday featuring the Christian rock group Newsboys and helped judge horticulture weight-in. It’s not every

day you see a 10 to 12 pound zucchini.

Frier said ushering does get you a few special perks. Each night handing out programs and helping people to their seats is a free concert ticket, offering the 16-year-old to see all 10 internationally known acts including Trainor, Steven Tyler and Jeff

Dunham.

There are a few provisos.

“We can’t have our cellphones out during the concert. Otherwise, we’re told we have to do bathroom cleanup duty,” Frier laughed.

JCHD expanding maternal and child health services

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News To address the continued need to serve Jasper County families, the Jasper County Health D e p ar t m e n t was approved to exp a n d materPryor nal and c h i l d health services. The Jasper County Board of Health gave the go ahead to JCHD Administrator Becky Pryor to add services including developmental screens and oral health screens to already established immunization clinics.

“My vision right now is to really be the hub for maternal and child health services. As far as health care goes and public health, I think it is a starting point for maternal and child health,” Pryor said.

As of Oct. 1, Marion County becomes the main grant administrator for the Maternal and Child Health Services Grant. If Jasper County chose not to add the services to the health department, Marion County had several options such as taking on some of the services itself, contracting the services out to an independent operator or drop the services for the county.

“It is a leap of faith of course, but there are so many people that need services,” Pryor said.

“When they come in for immunizations I always feel like they need more than what we can give them during that time.”

Along with adding services, Jasper County will add revenue in the form of reimbursement.

Currently, the county is getting about $3 to $5 per immunization.

Under Marion County, the reimbursement will increase to $17.71 per immunization.

Numbers of 600 and 1,000 are estimated for developmental screens and oral health screens respectively that will bring in additional reimbursement dollars.

“That alone would bring in a net income of approximately $64,776, without any other services,” Pryor said. “Also, Marion County would take care of all of the billing, which would relieve me, too.”

Board chair Margot Voshell asked Pryor how the additional services will effect current county staff. Pryor said that she would like at least two nurses currently on staff to attend all Women, Infants and Children (WIC) clinics in the county along with already established immunization clinics through the health department to provide the new services. Currently, four WIC clinics are MATERNAL | 3C

held in Newton and one the Colfax per month.

“I want to try it with our current staff to see if I can do it and that would put myself out there, too, in providing direct services,” Pryor said. “To get it up and going I think it is important to get it established and make sure we are successful at it before we hire another person.”

The added services will take additional time from Pryor’s already busy schedule, but it is a step she is more than willing to take.

“To be really frank about it, I love maternal and child health.

I love the kids and the developmental screens,” Pryor said.

“They are a fun thing that you get to do with families along with helping the parents with their parenting skills and early access into care.”

Between the change of jobs, her marriage to New York lawyer Max Shifrin and the birth of her son in March, the past few years have been an adventure for Haines.

“It was really exhausting and there was just no regularity,” Haines said. “Although I had amazing opportunities with ABC Good Morning America, I was running around all the time.”

Haines said working on a show like “The View” is something she’s been wanting for more than a decade.

Benefit Continued from Page 1C so we don’t lose clients is send projects to other editors we work with, and they are getting paid more so we can only bring in a certain amount of money per month in order to get Alex the care that he needs,” Katie said.

The Benefit for Alex will be from 5 to 8 p.m. Sunday at the Family Life Center in Prairie City. A freewill donation for a meal with pasta, dessert, and beverages will go to support Alex’s medical bills. There will also be items for sale and a silent auction.

Alex’s disability is long term and will never be outgrown, so Katie said their costs could climb and his needs are immediate. They’re also trying to travel to Florida for six months so Alex can escape Iowa’s cold and flu season and get him near a top pediatric

pulmonologist.

Katie and Ryan have always had to fight for their child.

Because Trisomy 18 is considered by the medical community as a death sentence for 90 percent of those born with the disorder, doctors often don’t offer initial treatment. If it’s discovered prenatally, many doctors will recommend abortions.

One example Katie gives to highlight the lack of care is basic feeding. Many children with Trisomy 18 have neurological deficiencies which can cause difficulties in muscle control. Alex can not get all the nutrition needed from bottle or breast feeding because he could not fully control action in his tongue.

But the doctor specifically told the Bucks Alex did not need a feeding tube.

“Here Alex was, a four pound, five ounce baby, and he lacked the ability to fully feed himself because of his

syndrome,” Katie said. “He was hungry. He would cry and fuss, but neurologically his tongue strength wasn’t where it needed to be. ... Without the tube he would have starved to death.”

In a film documenting Alex’s birth, Ryan dubbed an audio conversation with the hospital doctor explaining the severity of Alex’s situation to the new father. The doctor attempts to convince Ryan the newborn has maybe two weeks to live and encourages them to feed Alex without assistance.

“If you just want to bottle feed, then what he eats he eats, and what he doesn’t eat he doesn’t. There is very little limiting you from going home tomorrow,” the doctor said.

“Bottle feed him, breast feed him that’s great. What every he doesn’t take that’s OK too.”

At 3 months old, Alex was fitted with a gastric feeding tube which is how he takes the

majority of his food. But as he gets older and develops, Katie and Ryan said those issues are getting better and he’s learning to feed by mouth.

The doctor also said any heart, kidney or abdominal tumors Alex could have due to Trisomy 18 did not matter due to his life expectancy. The doctor told Ryan surgery would put Alex through unnecessary discomfort and would not increase his chances of survival.

“He did this with no testing on Alex’s internal systems. It was based on the Trisomy 18 diagnosis,” Katie said.

Alex’s heart irregularities are improving on their own, Katie said, and he will not need surgery.

But the parents feel the accepted survival rate statistics, taken without early and consistent treatment, are outdated. Katie and Ryan have found an entire community online of Trisomy 18 survivors who are living meaningful lives.

and you’ll be the one that sticks it out when everyone else is tired.”

Haines said in her position, she tries to make sure she is doing the best she absolutely can before looking forward, onto the next best thing. Since her family no longer lives in Newton, she doesn’t come back often.

Haines missed her class reunion this past spring and will miss the Iowa State Fair, but after getting used to her new schedule on “The View,” hopes to not miss another reunion or fair.

“I always miss [Iowa] and definitely miss my dear friends,” Haines said. “I still reminisce about Newton a lot and I’m still a proud Newtonian. I’ve learned not to take things for granted and I’ll always remember where I’m from.”

The season premiere of “The View” is Sept. 15.

Contact Savannah Eadens at newsroom@newtondailynews.com

At the end of his short film, Ryan shows a montage of people living with the disorder and gives a glimpse of their stories. The people range in age from 4.5 to 44 years old.

These online support groups and positive stories of children and adults with interests and adventures to tell give Ryan and Katie hope for Alex’s future.

“We’ve met adults and parents of adults with Trisomy 18.

Some of them walk and talk, a very small number. A lot of them are nonverbal and in a wheelchair,” Katie said. “But there’s a huge spectrum.”

“I think I bring relativity to the show,” Haines said. “I didn’t grow up on TV like a lot of the people in New York. I grew up in Newton, Iowa. I was always up against people with internships and more opportunity than me.

More seating added to Demolition Derby Colfax Classic Car Show returns with valve cover racing

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News

COLFAX — Despite the absence of Mineral Springs Days this summer, the very popular demolition derby will return to Colfax and is set to, once again, entertain thousands Aug. 27 at the Jasper County Fairgrounds.

According to organizer Brad Magg, four additional sets of bleachers have been ordered to increase available seating around the arena. Other than that, nothing has changed from previous years as planners are expecting a typical turnout of spectators and drivers.

“It’s not broken, so we’re not going to try to fix it,” Magg said. “It’s just all the same stuff as it has been in the last several years.”

Four classes will divide the field again. First will be the powder puff class, then the minivan/ pickup truck group, followed by the small and then large derby car classes. A power wheels derby, sponsored by Cratty Shack, will also return for another year.

The demolition derby will begin at 7 p.m.

Drivers looking to participate in any of the classes just need to show up the day of the event. A record-setting 65 drivers took part in

the destruction last year, and Magg said organizers are expecting just as many this time around.

“It has grown more than anybody imagined,” Magg said. “When the chamber hosted it the first year, we were hoping for a couple hundred people and we had over 2,000 show up. That year we had right about 20 cars and last year we had 65. And we went from having three volunteers (in the first year) to having more than 50 people helping out with the derby.”

Since the inaugural event in 2008, the derby has always been a part of Colfax’s Mineral Springs Days. This summer the Colfax Main Street Board decided to go without Mineral Springs Days due to the planning of the town’s sesquicentennial earlier in the summer. The derby, however, has remained a Colfax Main Street sponsored event and all proceeds will benefit the nonprofit.

Tickets to watch the state’s largest demolition derby remain at $8 for adults and $3 for children between the age of 3 and 12. Kids under 3 years old enter for free.

While some drivers are prepping for destruction, others are washing and shining their cars for the annual Colfax Classic Car Show, which

File Photo Driver Kenny Albright in the 11A car rolls during heat I of the small stock car division at last year’s Gettin’ Smashed in Colfax Demolition Derby.

will take place earlier in the day Aug. 27.

Organized by a foursome of car enthusiasts, the show will be from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on West Front Street. Awards include trophies for the top 20 cars and one People’s Choice award. Special Memorial Trophies will also be awarded in honor of Kerry Battles, Larry Lamb and Mike O’Harra, who have all played a huge part in Colfax car show history.

Planners are hoping for at least 80 cars to show up that Saturday, a day where there will also be vendors selling crafts and a DJ playing records.

New this year is valve cover racing, which was a tradition of sorts at many car shows back in the day.

Competitors are instructed to build a racer by using an automotive engine valve cover for the body. A chassis can be created usually of plywood, and then

File Photo Allan Reed in the #17 car is pushed off the dirt track by a skid loader volunteer following a session of twisted metal during heat I last year in the Gettin’ Smashed in Colfax Demolition Derby small stock car division.

wheels need to be attached for it to race. The only rules are that the racer must weigh less than 10 pounds and be no longer than 30 inches in length.

“We just thought it might be fun to try it and get a little competition going between the guys,” Joe Conley said. “We’ve

had several people out of town call in about the rules and how it’s going to work so it should be some fun competition.”

Entry fee for valve cover racing is covered by the entry into the car show, which is $20. All competitors will have at least two races to clock in their best time.

For more information about the car show or valve cover races contact Conley at 515-674-1328.

A few laps around the track Jasper County deputies give young boy ride of a lifetime at Iowa Speedway

By Savannah Eadens Newton Daily News Before the last race of the season at the Iowa Speedway, a few Jasper County Sheriff patrol cars took one special passenger for a ride around the track.

Hunter Madison and his dad, Brad Madison, are racing fans who come to the Iowa Speedway every summer from Benton.

At the start of the racing season at the Iowa Speedway in 2010, Hunter Madison introduced himself to Jasper County law enforcement with his signature “pound it.” Deputy Jeremy Burdt noticed the family this past season and Hunter’s admiration for law enforcement and all of their vehicles.

“When Hunter sees a uniformed officer or patrol vehicle, his eyes light up brighter than all the top lights on those officers cars,” Burdt said.

So, the evening before the final race, Burdt planned with the Iowa Speedway to create a special track experience. On July 30, Burdt called Brad Madison asking him to come down to the racetrack early, but not telling him what was to happen. Upon the family’s arrival at the Iowa Speedway, they gave Hunter a tour of a patrol car and drove him from the parking lot to the race track and down to the hauler’s lot.

Then, they drove laps around the track with the lights on the patrol car flashing and the windows down so Hunter Madison could wave out at the fans. It was his first time in a patrol car.

“The family never asked us for anything, but we always let them see the cars and take pictures together,” Burdt said. “They didn’t take any of it for granted. For us, the race track is what we can offer to show appreciation.”

Hunter loves being outdoors all the time. The family takes him to watch trains, and he loves to look at firetrucks, police cars and ambulances.

“Hunter and his dad really stood out here at the speedway,” Burdt said.

“So I really wanted to do something to show appreciation for their love and respect of law enforcement. We like to show these individuals that we do the best we possibly can to help them out.”

Back home, the Madison family is no stranger to law enforcement. Many of the police officers in the Benton community wave or flash their lights when they see Hunter Madison.

“We live in a small town so we’re

friendly with everyone,” Brad Madison said. “Hunter says hello to all the police officers and they all know him.

It’s good because I know that if he ever was in a situation that he needed help, an officer would help if they could.”

Hunter Madison is 15 years old and is going into ninth grade at Benton Community schools. Diagnosed with a rare chromosomal disorder as a child, he is now 4-feet 4-inches tall

and weighs 50 pounds. For 30 years, Brad Madison has been a race fan.

The family started going to the Iowa Speedway and camping at the KOA in Newton four years ago.

“I was happy as heck that they did that for Hunter at the last race,” Brad Madison said. “I don’t know if the ride around the track meant as much to Hunter as it did to me, but it was just such a cool thing for the deputies to do.”

“I was happy as heck that they did that for Hunter at the last race.”
