Kelley files as third party candidate

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Rep. Dan Kelley, the incumbent Democrat who was defeated in the June primary for the Iowa House District 29 seat, has filed papers to appear on the November ballot.

Kelley filed Wednesday with the Iowa Secretary of State’s office to run as a third party candidate under the “Stand Up To Bullies” party.

Kelley has used the term “bullying” to describe local politics since at least April 2015 when he wrote a letter to the editor to the New-

Valeria resident’s dogs ruled ‘vicious’

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The dogs belonging to a resident of western Jasper County have been ruled “vicious,” and he now must go to district court if he wants to get them back.

The Animal Control and Welfare Board for Jasper County held a special hearing Thursday night at the Jasper County Courthouse to help determine if Dave Woody would keep four dogs that were involved in an Aug. 6 incident. His dogs, all pitbulls, which have been held in quarantine since the incident, were deemed vicious at Thursday’s hearing.

County ordinance No. JC-44A states cit-

izens cannot own vicious animals. County Attorney Mike Jacobsen said the animal control board’s work is done, and Woody’s only recourse would be to appeal to a district court judge to reverse the decision.

“He will be served a copy of order (Friday),” Jacobsen said. “He can then appeal to district court.”

Members of the board are appointed by the Jasper County Board of Supervisors. Jim Horsman, Dean Lane and JCARL Director Sarah Siperstein were all recently announced at supervisors meetings as new appointees to the board.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

auren Zaabel is no stranger to 4-H activities. The 12-year-old Kellogg resident and member of the Jolly Workers has been going to meetings for as long as she can remember with her brothers and mother, who is a leader of the group.

Zaabel recently competed at the Iowa State Fair in several categories including horticulture, where she entered cherry and Roma tomatoes, jalapeños and potatoes, all grown in her garden.

At the fair, she came away with the Grand Champion award for “more than one inch cherry to-

matoes” for the entry of her latest crop.

“With the cherry tomatoes we had a lot of them,” Zaabel said.

“I picked what looked ripe or close to ripe and were the size we needed. After I picked about 30 of them I just played with which ones matched the best.”

To enter the competition, Zaabel selected six of her best tomatoes to be judged. When selecting the vegetables that would make the cut, she said she looked for how ripe they were, the coloring and if they are similar in size.

“When you are feeling them you want to make sure they are hard enough and not too squishy,” Zaabel. “When you pick them, you want to take off the stem on

the top and make sure there are no cracks or splits in them.”

Zaabel’s other entries didn’t bring home any ribbons, in part because the judges felt they needed to be bigger.

Pam, Lauren’s mom, said to compete they sign up at the beginning of July in multiple categories and then wait to see what the crop brings when deciding which vegetables will make it to Des Moines.

“We signed up for a lot more than we ended up taking because the zucchini was bigger than we liked and the cucumbers were rounder than we wanted,” Pam said.

Local students graduate from Upper Iowa University FAYETTE — Upper Iowa University is pleased to announce the names of its May 2016 graduates. The honored students included: Joshua Alfredson, of Newton, and Madison Small, of Sully.

Back to School Enrollment up a bit as kids return to school Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Newton High School Cardinal Regiment drummers march without their instruments in a recent rehearsal. Regiment director Jim Beerends said the drumline is the backbone of a marching band. On the left are Laura Wyre, front, and Preston Sherwood. On the right, from the front, are Tyler Stanton, Natalie Camp, Ethan Short and Paul Maharry.

Drumlines help establish tempo for band About 15 drummers among 125 Cardinal Regiment members bands, as the 2007 NHS graduate will direct the “second” band or the symphonic band. She takes the place of Michelle Banwell, who has moved to Berg Middle School to join her husband, Seth, in running the band program there.

The drumline has a new sponsor this year. A sponsor is sort of like a specialty coach, such as a linebackers coach in football, assigned to assisting in directing a small part of a marching band. Gerard Hoskins, an Iowa State University student, is highly regarded by both Beerends and Camp, and Beerends said Hoskins came from a well-known Rock Island (Ill.) area high school program before performing during his ISU career.

Hoskins replaces Lee Plummer, who had helped the Regiment for about

seven years. He relocated from central Iowa to take an assistant director’s position at Muscatine High School.

This year’s drumline features four bass drummers, including Camp.

There are also three tenors, four snares and four cymbals.

Camp said even though Beerends can be tough at times, he’s ultimately a calming force, encouraging musicians to not stress out — simply fix mistakes and improve.

“It’s great to think about how much we’ve improved,” Camp said.

“To think we went from not knowing any drill to being able to produce a great show? Wow.” Contact Jason W. Brooks at 641-792-3121 ext. 6532 or jbrooks@newtondailynews.com

When a coach, principal or director refers to some element as the “backbone,” that puts responsibility on that element’s individuals.

There are about 125 members to the Cardinal Regiment this year. Newton High School marching band — including the flag corps — spent its mornings and afternoons of the first week of August getting ready for the 201617 season, enduring the elements on the practice fields located on the east edge of the NHS campus.

“The drumline is the rhythmic backbone we rely on to have a strong marching season,” said fifth-year Regiment director Jim Beerends. “It’s the glue that holds the whole band together.”

The Cardinal Regiment had about 134 members last year. Its first public performance of 2016 fall marching season will be will be Aug. 26, when the Cardinal varsity football team hosts Ottumwa.

The first marching competition of the season will be Sept. 24 when the group travels to Pella for the Marching Dutch Invitational. Last year, the Regiment placed fourth in the Class 4A division at that event, behind Ankeny, John F. Kenndy of Cedar Rapids and Dowling Catholic.

The Regiment ended up losing some extremely talented four-year members to graduation in May. Natalie Camp, a junior, said one of the highlights of last season was helping Newton earn the best drumline honor at the season-ending Statewide Marching Competition in Waukee.

“That was incredible,” Camp said. “That’s what we work for. We worked so hard to get to that goal.”

It won’t be clear until school starts exactly how many freshman will be in this year’s Regiment, but there are always many.

There were about 53 freshmen on last year’s squad.

Camp said this year’s goals include incorporated freshman and first-year Regiment members more.

It’s one of a school band’s function to be inclusive to new members, but Camp said the drumline and the entire Regiment should always strive toward more of a family atmosphere.

“We’ve got to make the newbies feel like we own this, that the performance is from all of us,” Camp said. “A good show is something we all make happen together.”

One highlight for Newton musicians last year happened in the spring, when the school’s jazz band qualified for and competed at the state competition in Des Moines for the first time in at least the past 25 years. There was also the every-four-years spring break trip, which took the band to Orlando, Fla., in March for a performance.

Some of the Regiment members also play summer concerts with the Newton Municipal Band.

A camp held the first week of August featured morning and afternoon sessions and allowed Beerends to build this year’s sound from the ground up, starting with basic marching fundamentals.

This year, Beerends will have some new personnel on staff.

WASHINGTON (AP) — No more staying up late during the week. Farewell to sleeping in. And hello, homework!

The lazy days of summer are ending for millions of children as they grab their backpacks, pencils and notebooks and return to the classroom for a new school year.

Some facts and figures to know as the new school year begins: Enrollment and Costs About 50 million students are expected to attend public elementary and secondary schools this fall. That’s up just slightly from the 2015-16 school year, according to the Education Department. They’ll be taught by some 3.1 million school teachers from pre-kindergarten through high school, with an average student-to-teacher ratio of about 16 students to each teacher. Around 249,000 teachers are new hires this school year.

The growth of charter schools is continuing, with enrollment increasing from 800,000 in 2003 to 2.5 million in 2013, according to government figures. Some 40 states and the District of Columbia reported having about 6,400 charter schools.

The U.S. spends about $11,670 per pupil, on average, on public school education.

About 4.8 million students are expected to attend private school this fall, down slightly from the previous school year.

The National Center for Education Statistics estimates that 3.5 million students, both public and private, will graduate from high school at the end of the school year.

Longer School Year Some schools are adding to the traditional 180-day year. In Washington, D.C., for example, 10 public schools are moving to extended-year schedules.

Students in those schools will have 20 more days per year than peers at other schools. They’ll have shorter breaks over the school year, which will run 200 days through all 12 months. The idea is less time away from school in the summer will help boost learning and achievement.

Higher Ed The cost of college continues to rise.

Undergraduate tuition, fees, room, and board were estimated at $15,640 at public institutions, $40,614 at private nonprofit institutions, and $23,135 at private for-profit institutions for the 2013-14 school year.

In the last 10 years, prices increased 34 percent at public institutions and 25 percent for private nonprofits.

In all, 40 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds were enrolled in college or graduate school in 2014, according to Census Bureau numbers.

How U.S. Students Stack Up The latest results from national math and reading tests show slipping or stagnant scores.

Math scores were down for fourth and eighth graders over the last two years. It was the first decline since 1990.

Reading grades were flat for fourth graders and lower for eighth graders, according to results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress.

Globally, American students trail their counterparts in Japan, Korea, Canada, Germany, France and more.

In reading, the U.S. ranks No. 16 in a global test given to 15-year-olds. Scores were worse for math, with the U.S. ranked 30th against students from other countries taking the Program for International Student Assessment, or PISA tests.

The process to get the vegetables ready for competition starts long before any produce is selected. Zaabel had to select which vegetables to grow in the garden and tend to the crop throughout the growing season.

“If they aren’t getting a lot of rain you want to water them to give them moisture,” Zaabel said. “You also want to make sure there isn’t any weeds because the weeds could suck up the moisture and overpower the vegetables.”

Zaabel started working the garden with her mom before she even started as a 4-Her as a helper and a taste-tester.

“When I was young, I would help my mom in the garden picking the tomatoes,” Zaabel said. “When I was three my older brothers took vegetables to the fair for 4-H and I really wanted to take something so I took some tomatoes. I won junior vegetable in the open class, so I was very excited.”

The produce isn’t only used for show by the family. Most of what they grow goes straight from the garden to the table for the family’s meals.

Plans for next year are already forming by way of a new greenhouse. Zaabel would also like to try a different variety of jalapeños and enter homemade salsa.

“Ours were just regular jalapeños but I would like to try the variety that won the contest next year that were bigger,” Zaabel said.

Most importantly, Pam said, it is a fun, family experience for the kids and a way to help them learn and grow.

After an intense primary campaign, challenger Wes Breckenridge defeated Kelley for the Democratic nomination for the District 29 seat in June by nearly a 2-to-1 margin.

While responding to this call, the sheriff ’s dispatch center received an additional call of a woman who had suffered injuries from dogs.

The preliminary investigation revealed the woman was walking several dogs in the residential area along Fame Avenue. Several dogs from another residence were running at large and attacked her dogs.

Woody was the owner of these dogs. He attempted to intervene, and they were

both injured as they tried separate the dogs.

Another local resident heard the incident and helped get the woman to safety.

The adults both suffered dog bites and other injuries which were described as serious. All three patients were transported to Des Moines-area hospitals for treatment. The woman’s identity has not been disclosed by the sheriff; Woody’s identity became known to the Newton Daily News through social media.

One of Woody’s sons suffered minor injuries from attempting to restrain the dogs. The injuries were not bites.

Two of the woman’s dogs died during the incident as

a result of injuries from other dogs. A third dog was taken to a veterinarian for treatment.

All four of Woody’s dogs were taken into custody for quarantine by the Jasper County Animal Rescue League, and he has not seen them since then. The sheriff ’s office has not announced any charges at the time, as the investigation was ongoing.

The incident led to injuries to Woody that include more than a dozen puncture wounds and a severe injury to an index finger, which he said he’s been told might still need to be amputated. The extent of the woman’s injuries isn’t known.

Woody seemed surprised when the Newton

Daily News contacted him Friday morning to ask if he planned to appeal in district court, saying it was his understanding the board planned to deliberate. He said he’ll need to consult with attorneys before deciding if he’ll appeal the decision.

Woody, who lives in a rural residential area northwest of Valeria, in rural western Jasper County, said he was helping his daughter unload her vehicle after a camping trip when the late-morning weekend incident occurred.

He said he believes he saw a citation in the paperwork given to him by Sheriff John Halferty after Thursday’s hearing, but he handed that over to his attorney.

There is always a sign-up sheet for the public forum at NCSD board meetings.

Anyone who wants to see the remod-

el of the former Hy-Vee West grocery store, can tour the administration and alternative school facility between noon and 7 p.m. Monday.

Newton students begin the 201617 school year Tuesday and Wednesday with early-release days, followed by full days Thursday and Friday.

The board could have several public work sessions coming up. There is one already scheduled for 6 p.m. Aug. 29 at the EJH Beard Administration Center.

I

I love Malcolm Gladwell

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Aug. 19, 2016

Write On Kate Malott

nside my house in the living room is a bookshelf where four of Malcom Gladwell’s five books stand: “Tipping Point,” “Blink,” “Outliers” and “David and Goliath.” His fifth book, “What the Dog Saw,” is on my desk since I just purchased it at the United Way of Jasper County book sale earlier this month.

I love Malcom Gladwell. His work involves sociology, psychology, economics and history. He’s a seasoned journalist, working for The Washington Post, New Yorker and The New York Times. He’s a fluent, creative and compelling storyteller.

Gladwell takes an interesting fact or story and pairs it with academic research to help better explain the

causes of an unexpected effect.

Gladwell recently released a top-ranking podcast, “Revisionist History,” which I recommend. A podcast is a like a radio show done in episode style and available through digital download.

Gladwell says sometimes the past deserves a second chance, so he revisits overlooked or misunderstood occurrences.

“I think too often we make up our minds about that has happened and then we move on without pausing to ask, ‘Wait a minute. Is this what actually happened? Do we really understand it?’” he said.

Check out these two podcast — “The Lady Vanishes” In the first episode, Gladwell talks

about the what it means to be the first outsider to enter a closed world, like the first woman artist to enter The Royal Academy in England (Elizabeth Thompson, 1874) or the first female prime minister of Australia (Julia Gillard, 2010-2013).

But what are the consequences to these outsiders once they break down the door? Thompson disappeared from the art scene after being rejected because of others’ discomfort with her sex. Gillard experiences misogyny bullying from men in society and even peers in parliament and retired from politics.

Gladwell explains such criticism as examples of “moral licensing,” when people act immoral (misogyny) because they feel they have recently proven to society they are morally progressive (electing a woman).

“The Big Man Can’t Shoot” In 1962, Wilt Chamberlain scored the most points in an NBA basketball game (100) and made 28 out of 32 of

his foul shots. He shot 87.5 percent from the line. It was unbelievable.

Chamberlain was usually an awful foul shooter, shooting less than 50 percent at the start of the season and the end.

So what was different? He shoot all of his foul shots underhand, granny style. Underhand shots are a proven better way to make foul shots, but they aren’t popular.

“I felt silly like a sissy shooting under handed,” Chamberlain said. “I know I was wrong.”

In this podcast, Gladwell highlights examples in sports when athletes make poor decisions and why good ideas have difficulty spreading.

Gladwell demonstrates how people knowingly make irrational decision based on social constraints, approval and the “threshold model of collective behavior,” when a crowd influences independent judgment.

So Anyway Dana King

Just think about it Do you have any idea how difficult it is to watch your loved one get dressed for work every day when there is a target on his back? To wear a bullet proof vest? To put on a 20-pound gun belt each and every day? To know people who have never met him are judging him, even hate him, for simply doing his job and collecting a paycheck with few other accolades?

Probably not.

Tell me, how would you handle having threats made against your life and the lives of your family simply because you’re doing your job? To have other law enforcement officers keeping an eye on your family because some of those threats are considered viable, while you’re at work trying to keep a community safe for the families of people you’ve never even met?

You don’t know “real” until you’ve lived with someone who has had to pull the mangled body of a child from a car accident because some drunk got behind the wheel of a car and selfishly thought they were OK to drive — a drunk driver my LEO might have been able to stop had he not been taking care of a shoplifter or helping a lost Alzheimer’s patient find their way home.

Have you ever really seen what remains of a skull after someone they know has taken their own life with a bullet to their head? My husband has.

Did you ever stop to think what it must be like to wonder if the next person you stop for a traffic violation will be the last face you’ll ever see?

Have you ever slept next to someone who commonly yells out in his sleep and violently thrashes about because his dreams aren’t peaceful?

You can’t begin to imagine the extremes law enforcement officers deal with on a daily basis or some of the awful things they can never un-see.

Most men and women who go into law enforcement believe they will make a difference for the better. Unfortunately, like in every profession, a few bad ones get through ... no denying it, and we’re all sorry for that.

Are you surprised my husband prays he never has to take the life of another human being but will protect complete strangers or his fellow officers at the cost of his own life. Would you do that for the people you work with or would self-preservation be your first instinct? Seriously? In a split second, could you process all that information and make a decision that could affect not only your existence but the lives of many?

Do you know 60-75 percent of marriages of LEOs fail?

Do you know my husband shed tears at our kids’ high school graduations?

Did you realize I have two sons who wanted to follow in their dad’s footsteps, and we have pleaded with them to NOT go into the same line of work. The same profession that kept their dad from attending their ballgames, music programs, school plays, parent/teacher conferences, Christmas dinners, Easter egg hunts, birthdays, you name it ... from infancy to adulthood.

Do you have any idea how comforting the sound of velcro is to me after his shift? Unless you’re family of an LEO, you don’t. It’s the sound of that kevlar vest coming off after a shift, meaning your officer is home safe one more time.

I’m going to let you in on a secret. Respect. That’s it. Respect.

Don’t want a ticket or want to be arrested? Don’t break the law — a law I might add, my husband didn’t make but is sworn to uphold. But if you do encounter an officer, remember ... respect. It goes a long way and it goes both ways. Trust me.

Now, what are you wearing to work today?

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

An apple for Iowa teachers It’s back to school season.

Some parents may be relieved the summer is drawing to an end and their children will soon be out of the house and back in the classroom. But more importantly, back to school time is an opportunity to reflect on the impact education has on the lives of our children.

While we should keep working to improve educational outcomes for all students, the opportunity for children to get an education is easy to take for granted in our country.

Throughout much of history, and still today in many parts of the world, it is something a lot of parents can only wish for their children.

Teachers across our state have been hard at work drawing up lesson plans and learning new strategies to help each child learn. Many

The Scoop U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley of my family members have been teachers, including my sister Lois who taught in Hudson, Iowa, for more than 40 years. I know that it is a tough, but rewarding job. Teachers deserve the thanks of all Iowans for their dedication to the next generation of Iowans and Americans. Most people can remember particular teachers who had an especially big impact on their lives.

I know that Mrs. Refshauge and Miss Schoonmaker played a big role in encouraging my interest in learning, and I give them a lot of credit for the path I took in life.

So, as Iowa children go off to

the first day of school, let’s all remember to thank the teachers.

More than that, I encourage parents to get to know their children’s teachers and ask what they can do to reinforce at home what is happening in the classroom. Even though parents may entrust their children’s education to their teachers during the school day, parental engagement after school and on weekends is crucial to a child’s success. As parents and grandparents, we have the responsibility and the opportunity to require study skills, healthy habits and a commitment to success in school. After all, that’s what education is all about — helping children achieve to their potential.

Here’s wishing all Iowa teachers and students a productive and enriching school year.

Man can’t muster the energy to join digital dating world DEAR ABBY: I am 32 years old and divorced my wife two years ago.

Although I tried dating for a bit, it was a brave new world of online apps and profiles. It wasn’t for me, and I became discouraged.

A year has gone by and female friends are telling me I need to get back out and date. I find the whole endeavor depressing and prefer to spend my time elsewhere and single. They say my decision to stay single is emotionally driven and I “deserve love.”

My argument against dating is that I wasn’t a good husband and I have no interest in devoting the time or energy to date in the scary and confusing world of the web. Can you settle this dispute so that we can stop the back-and-forth arguments? — DIVORCED AND DATELESS DEAR DIVORCED AND DATELESS: I agree that opening yourself up to strangers can be scary.

If you are not interested in meeting women on the internet, I won’t force you, even though that’s how many — although not all — relationships start these days.

Because that’s not your cup of tea, there are other ways to meet nice women, among them getting out and participating in activities you enjoy or volunteering for a cause you believe in. Of course, that necessitates being open to having a relationship with someone and believing you deserve one. From the tone of your letter, I’m not sure you’re there yet. Not having been a good husband the first time is no excuse if you have learned from your mistakes.

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I have been dating for two years. He is in grad school. I failed out of community college. My lack of education stresses me out emotionally. I love him very much, and I see a future with him. But the idea of an architect and

a community college dropout makes my heart ache. He deserves someone more on his intellectual level. He is originally from another state and this is one of the reasons why I haven’t met his family.

I have thought about trying to get a degree to become a certified nursing assistant, but again there would be a gap in our professional levels. I’m afraid that when he does introduce me to his family they will convince him he’s better off without me. Part of me believes it’s true.

Please give me advice about what to do. I don’t want to lose him, but at the same time, I want him to be happy. — UNEQUAL IN WISCONSIN DEAR UNEQUAL: I can’t help but wonder if you have ever spoken with someone who does career counseling. Some universities and community colleges have extension divisions that offer it. Part of the counseling involves aptitude testing, which could help you determine what you would be good at.

Being a nursing assistant is a respectable career that involves responsibility and people skills. If you feel drawn to it, then that’s what you should pursue, and you should not feel embarrassed or have a need to apologize for it.

SPENCER — Authorities have charged a former Spencer pastor with five counts of sexual exploitation by a counselor.

Clay County authorities Wednesday arrested Kevin Grimes on charges stemming from an investigation into events from 2012 to 2016.

Grimes resigned in May as pastor at DaySpring Assembly of God Church. He also worked as chief executive officer of the Spencer Dream Center, which provides social services to the community.

DES MOINES — Authorities have released the name of a 25-year-old man who was shot to death in Des Moines.

The Des Moines Police Department identified the man Thursday as Phillip Gomez, a resident of the city. His body was found inside a home on East Euclid Avenue around 11:20 a.m. Sunday. Officers were dispatched there after someone called 911 to say a man had been shot.

Iowa’s bullying prevention office has no direct funds DES MOINES (AP) — Nearly one year after Gov. Terry Branstad announced the creation of a bullying prevention office, the program has no designated dollars and relies on inconsistent funding for its work.

The Governor’s Office for Bullying Prevention at the University of Northern Iowa has received no private grants since launching in September 2015, according to documents provided by the Cedar Falls school. The state also hasn’t provided funding, as Branstad decided in January not to allocate money, citing budgetary constraints.

The small office offers some programming, but the lack of clear or consistent funding raises questions about

its long-term effectiveness in addressing statewide bullying and harassment.

“It sounds like bullying prevention is not being treated like the priority that it is,” said Nate Monson, executive director of Iowa Safe Schools, a statewide nonprofit that supports programing for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students. “It’s a new school year and I’m already receiving phone calls about kids being bullied or afraid to start the school year. Without a functioning office or without functioning guidance from the state, it doesn’t work.”

Branstad issued an executive order last fall creating the governor’s bullying prevention office, a move that followed

years of inaction by the Legislature to approve anti-bullying measures. It’s difficult to measure if other governors have taken similar action, though universities around the country have dedicated resources to the issue.

Branstad signed the order surrounded by elementary school students in Cedar Rapids. Days later, he told reporters the order was the best move.

“We’re going to continue to work with both houses of the Legislature on these issues and respect the separation of powers,” he said. “But at the same time, I am the chief executive, and I want to do all I can to set the right tone and to support schoolchil-

Mental health groups to host picnic Newton Daily News Three local organizations are teaming up to host a picnic and family event at Maytag Park.

The Carnival in the Park will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Aug. 27 at the park’s west picnic shelter. The free event is designed to promote family unification and positive mental health.

The carnival, hosted by Integrated Treatment Services, Optimae Life Services and NAMI of Jasper County, will feature hamburgers, hot dogs, games and at least one bounce house free of charge. Adults are encouraged to bring children, but must accompany them throughout the event.

For more information, call Optimae at 641-787-9133 or Integrated Treatment Services at 641275-7533.

dren.”

UNI’s Center for Violence Prevention, which since 2011 has focused on issues such as domestic and sexual assault, oversees the bullying prevention office. When the office was initially placed under the center’s watch, Branstad’s office said the center had existing funds to house the anti-bullying program.

Although the center had at least $68,000 available in private grants for the budget year that began in July, a review shows most of the money is earmarked for efforts like mentoring school athletes as it relates to sexual assault prevention and relationship abuse. Other funds are for research.

The Newton Police Department has received numerous complaints of scam callers targeting local residents and claiming to be affiliated with the U.S. Department of Treasury.

The caller, who reportedly used the name Kevin Mason on a few occasions, urges the resident to call a number, often with area code 646, to resolve a situation with the U.S. Department of Treasury or risk enforcement actions such as appearing before a magistrate or grand jury for federal offenses. This is a scam, and residents are advised not to engage with the caller, give personal information over the phone or send money.

To report a scam by callers claiming to be from the U.S. Department of Treasury, email OIGCounsel@oig.treas.gov with the date and time the call was received, the phone number of the caller, the geographic location and time zone where you received the call and a description of the communication.

University of Iowa drops plans for bias response team IOWA CITY (AP) — The University of Iowa has dropped plans to create a team to assess claims of bias.

In January university chief diversity officer Georgina Dodge proposed a team to address complaints of racial or

other bias on campus concerning incidents that “skirt the line between a policy violation or even a crime.”

But Dodge recently said the plans raised concerns about the possible impact on academic freedom. She says that

over the past eight months, bias response teams at other institutions have become more punitive in their focus and have overreached their authority.

“After working thoughtfully and carefully on how to develop such a team here, we came

to conclusion that how we initially had envisioned the BART might not be effective,” she said.

Dodge said there has been a high rate of failure concerning bias response teams at other schools.

Continued from Page 1A will be presented possibly later this fall. The cost of the service is $5,000. Unsworth said it is typical for 10 percent of a project cost to go toward design.

“We’re going to move forward as a staff to get this started, and hopefully get a Unsworth design and cost estimate put together so we can put that to budget,” Unsworth said.

A skate park has been a goal of the park board for awhile but was put on hold while playground and other timely projects were completed.

Also discussed was the 30Acre Park design by the University of Iowa, but no action was taken.

The 60-page project design was elaborate with a cost estimate of $330,000, and the board liked the design elements and feature. It included trails, three bridges, restrooms, an ar-

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Aug. 19, 2016

chery range, a pond, trails and parking lots. The board would like to make half the park a terrain park and the other half a conservation park with trails.

The design project is a reference, or a starting point, for the park board as they look to develop the land in southeast Newton. It’s nice to have a plan and something to refer to, Unsworth said.

Jackson has reached out to Central Iowa Trail Association, a Midwest mountain bike organization, to find out if their members would like to get involved to help design the trails, possible maintenance and upkeep training, and they were very interested in the ideas.

CITA especially liked the location along the interstate and between Iowa City and Des Moines where a lot of bikers travel, Jackson said.

“When we want to start doing a trail design they are willing to come down give us there input and bring probably a dozen people or more and start working,” he said.

Newton Park Board Goals were also reviewed and revised at the meeting, however, no major changes were made.

Park goals were updated

two years ago after research was done on the public input of park needs, ideas and improvements. Four objectives were established with the purpose of accomplishing associated projects in the next five years.

Those four objectives are: • Develop a unique vision for each park to expand usage, and support projects that target certain user groups or residents from surrounding neighborhoods.

• Facilitate more recreational opportunities for citizens to develop health, active lifestyles and improve existing facilities.

• Promote projects that align with the city comprehensive plan, particularly those that improve atheistic value of the parks.

• Increase outreach efforts, facility and amenities awareness, and encourage citizen involvement in park care.

Progress has been made on these goals in the last two years including improved athletic fields and courts, installation of restrooms, improved playgrounds and improved accessibility. Two more associated projects may soon be completed with the redesign of Aurora Park and development of 30-

Park goals will be sent to City of Newton Director of Planning and Zoning Erin Chambers to add to the city comprehensive plan.

Also at the meeting: • The board approved an upcoming cyclocross event Oct. 22-23 at Maytag Park. Unsworth said the two-day event could bring 100 to 200 athletes and spectators to town which would be good for the local economy. Organizers expect some wear and tear to the park but event organizers will tend to all setup and cleanup.

• In September, the city will send out bid for boulder park and a request for proposal for Sunset Park, due in mid-September. At the September meeting will be talk about boulder park, Sunset Park and skate park design, if prepared.

The next meeting was moved back a week and will be at 6:15 p.m. Sept. 28 at city hall.

• The annual Dog Swim will be Tuesday evening at Maytag Pool. A time has not been set.

The Maytag pool closes for the season on Sunday.

Acre Park.

The board noted city bike trail expansion, community recreational programs and long-term Maytag Pool care as future goals yet to be accomplished and discussed additional park priorities.

“Has there been any discussion between the city and the county about trying to attach ourselves to any other (bike) trails at all?” Price said.

There hasn’t been any dual discussion about bike trail expansion within the county.

Unsworth said other counties have rural bike trails because of abandoned railroads, however, there are no abandoned railroads to work with locally.

All three board members discussed an interest in trails and a desire to see Newton connect with outside communities especially a connection with the Chihuahua Valley Trail at Baxter or with a future trail at Prairie City, both connecting to Polk County. A trail connection with Grinnell, Pella, Knoxville or Marshalltown would be desirable too.

A city staff discussion with county officials about bike trail expansion was added to the goal list.

Brazilian police say Lochte, US swimmers were not robbed

US’s Clement wins gold in men’s 400 hurdles RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Kerron Clement picked up on Thursday where the United States left off on the sultry evening before — hauling in more gold.

The U.S. track and field team is on a magnificent run in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio. Americans took

gold in the men’s and women’s 400-meter hurdles. Ashton Eaton won gold in decathlon.

Ryan Crouser and Joe Kovacs had a 1-2 finish in shot put.

That’s 24 medals for the United States in track and field, including eight gold.

Clement was so confident

about his chances in the hurdles he had his mother bring his American flag from home.

He draped himself in the flag soon after his win.

“I knew I was going to win,” he said.

OLYMPICS | 2B

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Brazilian police said Thursday that swimmer Ryan Lochte and three U.S. teammates were not robbed after a night of partying, and the intoxicated athletes instead vanLochte dalized a gas station bathroom and were questioned by armed guards before they paid for the damage and left.

“No robbery was committed against these athletes. They were not victims of the crimes they claimed,” Civil Police Chief Fernando Veloso said during a news conference.

The police account came in direct contrast to claims from Lochte’s attorney earlier in the week. The attorney, Jeff Ostrow, had

insisted the swimmer had nothing to gain by making the story up. He, as well as Lochte’s father and agent, did not return phone calls seeking comment.

The swimmers could potentially face punishment — probation, suspension, a fine or expulsion — under USA Swimming’s code of conduct. It was not clear if the swimmers would face criminal charges, though police said the athletes could be charged with destruction of property, falsely reporting a crime or both.

The closed-circuit video shows one of the swimmers pulling a sign off of a wall and dropping it onto the ground. A gas station worker arrives, and other workers inspect the damage. Veloso said the swimmers broke a door, a soap dispenser and a mirror.

The swimmers eventually talk with station workers as their cab leaves.

Newton native won gold in 1920 Olympics

D

id you know a Newton native competed and medaled in an Olympics?

I did. The Newton Daily News asked readers to nominate and vote for Jasper County’s 25 Greatest Sports Figures of All Time. The promotion was done the first summer-fall I was on the newspaper’s staff in 2013.

When the votes were tallied, three of us divided up the top 25 to do short biographical stories on the sports figures. One of mine was Jay Clark Jr., of Newton, who helped the Americans win a gold medal in the team clay pigeons event at the 1920 Summer Olympics in Antwerp, Belgium.

It wasn’t easy to find information on Clark. I did find out he was born in Newton in 1880, attended Grinnell College and graduated from Harvard Law School. He began practicing law in Worcester, Mass. Clark died in 1948.

He was an excellent shooter, which led to his selection as captain of the

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets United States men’s Olympic team.

In 1920, it was the third appearance of team clay pigeon shooting event in the Summer Olympics. There were 48 shooters from eight nations competing.

The maximum team points to receive was 600 and the American team put up 547 points. Eighty-four of the team’s points were attributed to Clark, who had won the 1913 Westy Hogan Trapshoot at Atlantic City.

Clark was far better know in Massachusetts as a race car driver. He competed in hill climbs and dirt track races all over New England.

Clark was No. 25 on the list compiled in 2013 by readers of the Newton Daily News and Jasper County Tribune.

The 2016 Olympic gold medalist in the men’s long jump Jeff Henderson of the United States worked out for a Kansas City Chiefs’ scout in March.

Henderson attended the Chiefs’ rookie minicamp tryout in May, working out as a receiver.

Henderson won the gold medal in Rio de Janeiro with a leap of 27 feet, 6 inches last Saturday. He is 5-feet-7

inches and 187 pounds. His athleticism was evident, and he ran the 40yard dash in 4.33 seconds but needed work on being able to catch the football since he hadn’t played football since he was 15. He ran track at Stillman College in Alabama, winning the NCAA Division II long jump in 2013 and 2014.

In his Monday press conference, Chiefs’ head coach Andy Reid said, “Congratulations to Jeff Henderson for winning a gold medal in the long

jump at Rio. He was with us during the offseason, and we’re proud of him for bringing home the gold. I think he probably had his mind set on going to get the gold,” Reid said. “He worked his tail off here, but (track) was probably his primary focus.”

The 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio conclude Sunday.

Right here in our backyard: area fall sports teams are ending a second week of practices as 2016 fall high school sports begin next week.

Volleyball and swimming kick things off Tuesday. Newton hosts a tournament and Prairie City-Monroe is at a tournament hosted by Dallas Center-Grimes. The NCMP Aquagirls go to Linn-Mar to open the swimming season.

On Thursday, cross country teams from Newton, PCM and Collins-Maxwell/Baxter compete in the Gilbert Invitational meet on the Iowa State cross country course in Ames. Colfax-Mingo’s cross country team is at Marshalltown. Colfax-Mingo’s volleyball team opens the season at BGM on Thursday.

Friday night football begins in a week. Newton hosts Ottumwa while Colfax-Mingo plays at Lynnville-Sully, Nevada plays at CMB and Pella Christian plays at PCM. Contact Jocelyn Sheets at jsheets@newtondailynews.com

Big 12 emails Houston about expansion procedure

By Ralph D. Russo The Associated Press An email Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby sent late last month to the president of the University of Houston says the conference has “finalized our procedures for consideration of potential” new members.

The email was first reported by ESPN Thursday and later obtained by The Associated Press.

The Big 12 announced July 19 that its presidents had authorized Bowlsby to begin evaluating schools for possible expansion of the 10-team conference by two or four members.

The conference has not commented publicly on its plans nor has it committed to adding schools.

In an email dated July 26 from Bowlsby to University

of Houston President Renu Khator, the commissioner wrote: “We have finalized our procedures for consideration of potential Big 12 Conference members and, pursuant to your email of last week, I am writing to inform you of the process.”

Bowlsby asked in the email that Khator provide a “very brief communication indicating your interest in being considered.” Bowlsby writes that it is not necessary to send supporting information or materials and to send the letter to his attention care of Kansas City, Missouri, based attorney Kevin Sweeney of Polsinelli.

Olympics Continued from Page 1B Eaton retained his title as the best allaround athlete in the world by tying the decathlon Olympic record. Eaton made it back-to-back Olympic and world titles in the decathlon. From throwing, to jumping, to running, Eaton can do it all.

Eaton finished with 8,893 points, incredibly matching exactly the Olympic record after 10 energy-sapping events. He finished third in the last event, the 1,500, to win gold from France’s Kevin Mayer on 8,834 points. Canada’s Damian Warner took the bronze.

“To win two Olympic golds in a row like Daley Thompson is very special,” he said, referring to the great British decathlete who won in 1980 and ‘84.

The American men’s 4x100 team qualified fastest for the relay final with a season’s-best 37.65.

Dalilah Muhammad kept the U.S. total ticking with gold in the women’s 400-meter hurdles and Ashley Spencer added a bronze.

“We are making history out here,” Muhammad said of the U.S. team’s gold rush.

Crouser won the shot put gold medal with an Olympic record 22.52 meters, leading world champion Kovacs in a 1-2 finish for the United States. The 23-year-old Crouser recorded the three best throws of his career, starting with 22.22 on his second attempt to take an early lead and improving it to 22.26 before his biggest shot of the night on his fifth attempt.

Kovacs took silver at 21.78 and world indoor champion Tom Walsh of New Zealand won bronze at 21.36.

The U.S. team made the most of its second chance to qualify for the women’s 4x100-meter relay final, recording the fastest time of the day in a solo re-run before the night session began. The Americans dropped the baton during the morning preliminaries and appeared to be out of contention.

But track officials upheld the U.S. protest because Allyson Felix was jostled as she tried to hand the baton over to English Gardner.

Because relay finals must be limited to eight teams, the Americans were called back to run

“Mr. Sweeney will follow up with your GC to provide instructions and to coordinate future steps,” Bowlsby writes.

“Thanks for your interest in the Big 12 Conference.”

That there has been communication between the Big 12 and Houston is not surprising.

The school is a member of the American Athletic Conference, but has made it clear it aspires to be in a Power Five conference.

Since the Big 12 revealed that it is looking into expansion, the University of Texas and Texas Tech have public supported considering Houston.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott went even further, saying Big 12 expansion “must” include Houston.

Among the other schools that have been ma-

neuvering to be considered by the Big 12 are BYU, Cincinnati, Central Florida, Memphis, Connecticut, East Carolina, Boise State and Colorado State.

Bowlsby has put no timetable on the Big 12’s decision, though he has said the conference would like to move quickly and not interfere with the football season.

Iowa State President Steven Leath told the Iowa State Daily student newspaper Wednesday that he expects the Big 12 to expand.

“We’re spending a lot of time and money to that end, so I suspect that’s where we’re going to end up,” Leath told the newspaper.

Leath added that he expected the process to play out between now and Christmas.

all by themselves, in the same order and in the same lane.

They posted a time of 41.77, almost a second faster than the target and narrowly in front of Jamaica, the fastest of the automatic qualifiers in 41.79. Their time marked the second-fastest 4x100 in the world this season. The fastest time this year was Germany’s 41.62 in July.

Other highlights from Day 13 of the Rio Games: Women’s Wrestling: It took a moment for Helen Maroulis’ accomplishment to sink in.

The American defeated Japan’s Saori Yoshida 4-1 in the 53-kilogram freestyle final to win the first-ever gold medal for a United States women’s wrestler and derail Yoshida’s quest for a fourth straight gold. Maroulis celebrated Thursday’s win by leaping into coach Valentin Kalika’s arms, then running around the mat in a circle and gripping the United States flag with both hands while it was draped over her back.

Suspensions: It was a busy day for doping suspensions. Doping officials announced that a weightlifter from Kyrgyzstan, swimmer from China, cyclist from Brazil and canoeist from Moldova all tested positive for drugs.

The weightlifter was taking strychnine, best known for its use as rat poison. Athletes use it in small doses to boost muscle recovery.

Still Undefeated: The U.S. women’s basketball team didn’t have its starting point guard, Sue Bird, in the semifinals against France after she injured her knee. They still won by 19 points. If the women beat Spain in the final Sunday, it will be six straight golds for the U.S. Birdie Fest: You know it’s a good day on the golf course when a player starts losing track of the number of birdies she makes. Such was the case for Lewis, who carded 11 birdies and shot a 63. Her round could have been better if not for a double-bogey on the 14th hole. And it still wasn’t enough for the lead. Inbee Park of South Korea finished shot a 5-under 66 to lead by one.

Bolt Delivers: Usain Bolt has won the 200 meters to complete the sprint double at a third straight Olympics. Bolt wanted to lower his world record of 19.19 seconds but the light drizzle at Olympic Stadium contributed to a slightly slower winning time of 19.78. Andre de Grasse of Canada took silver in 20.02 tand Christophe Lemaitre of France was third in 20.12.

Kennedy passes Byron to win NASCAR Truck race at Bristol BRISTOL, Tenn. (AP) — Ben Kennedy moved past NASCAR Truck season leader William Byron with 19 laps to go and held at Bristol Motor Speedway on Wednesday night for his first series victory.

Kennedy, the son of International Speedway Corporation CEO Lesa France Kennedy and great-grandson of NASCAR founder Bill France Sr., became the first France family member to win a NASCAR national series race. He was making his 63rd career start.

“I can’t put it into words,” Kennedy said. “Someone asked me earlier today what it’s like going to Bristol for your first time and to win here is just so cool.

I’m speechless. The guys gave me an awesome truck. Everyone at GMS Racing, Jacob Companies, the fans in the stands, everybody watching on TV, gosh this is just the coolest day of my life.”

Byron, a rookie won has won five races this season, looked as he would make it six when he took the lead from teammate Daniel Suarez with 21 laps left.

But Byron went high into a turn and Kennedy was able to sweep past him.

Kennedy had to hold on through a restart with seven laps to go, fending off Brett Moffitt the rest of the way for the victory.

“I was just thinking go as fast as possible on this last lap,” Kennedy said.

“I knew Brett was putting pressure on me from behind. I appreciate him racing me clean. This is just so cool.

“These guys deserve it. They work so hard.”

The victory locked up a spot for Kennedy in the series’ eight-driver championship chase that begins in New Hampshire next month.

Daniel Hemric was third, followed by Byron and Johnny Sauter.

Kennedy had not led a lap all season before moving in front on a damp night at Bristol.

The race’s start was delayed more than an hour when storms hit the area.

When the green flag dropped, it looked as if Christopher Bell and Suarez had the strongest machines.

Each, though, couldn’t sustain things.

Bell led a race-high 101 of 200 laps until spinning out while racing Suarez up front. Suarez led 77 laps until he was passed by Byron.

Bell held on for seventh, while a late spin dropped Suarez to 29th in the 32car field.
