Federal sentencing for LaVera set for Friday

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A final federal sentencing for David A. LaVera is scheduled for Friday. This comes after his original sentencing ended with a judge rejecting his plea deal.

The 34-year-old California man will appear in court at 11 a.m. the U.S. District Courthouse in Des Moines.

LaVera pleaded

guilty to the charge of possession of child pornography with additional charges of sexual exploitation of a child and production of child pornography being dropped as part of a plea deal.

Federal Judge John Alfred Jarvey said during the June sentencing hearing that he didn’t feel LaVera was going to get any punishment with the deal that

was in place. The federal sentencing could require LaVera serve more than five years in prison.

The charges stemmed from an incident in which LaVera used his smartphone to video a 12-year-old victim taking a shower and a 13-year-old victim using the bathroom at a Newton home, according to court documents LAVERA | 3A

File Photo David A. LaVera, 34, is scheduled for his final sentencing on possession of child pornography in the U.S. District Courthouse Friday. LaVera is known for impersonation a “Twilight” actor to entice a teenager in June 2014 and then later taking video of two juveniles.

Main Street, United Way to host downtown miniature golf event Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News The former KinderCare building, located between North Third Avenue and North Fourth Avenue along West Second Street North in Newton, is still in excellent condition. Dan Skokan, president of the Jasper Community Foundation, which built and owns the building, said it could be used to either care for young children or for offices or many other purposes.

Foundation wants to sell former KinderCare building NCSD recently discussed possibilities

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Looking at the lowered sinks and playground equipment at the former KinderCare preschool building, it’s easy to hear the young voices that used to grace the facility.

The former KinderCare building, located between North Third Avenue and North Fourth Avenue

along West Second Street North in Newton, is still in excellent condition, and its owners — the Jasper Community Foundation — are hoping it can be used again soon.

Dan Skokan, president of the foundation, said it could be used to either care for young children or for offices or many other purposes.

“We’re taking kind of a slow approach to see who’s interested in the

building, and how they want to use it,” Skokan said. “If we can’t find a nonprofit to buy it, we will probably list in commercially. We are looking at our options of selling or renting the facility. Our preference is to sell.”

The 8,400-square-foot building — built in 2000 — is surrounded by two playground areas with equipment, and there are outdoor basketball courts.

Newton Main Street is hosting an upcoming downtown miniature golf event in support of United Way of Jasper County.

The event, on Aug. 29, features nine Main Street District businesses hosting custom-made miniature golf holes inside their buildings.

Golfers can sign up on the day of the event from 9 to 10:30 a.m. at the Chamber of Commerce, 113 First Ave. W. and have until noon to finish the course.

“The idea is to bring people downtown to have a good time at a family-friendly activity and increase visibility for downtown businesses at the same time,” said Andrew Bassman, director of Newton Main Street.

United Way of Jasper County also will host fundraising activities during the event and promote its annual fundraising campaign, which starts on Sept. 3.

“This is an excellent opportunity for us to let people know about our upcoming fundraising drive,” said Jessica Lowe, director of United Way of Jasper County. “It’s also a great way to show mutual support between United Way and Newton Main Street.”

The event is open to the public. Cost is $6 per adult and $4 for kids under 16.

The course covers just under a mile and takes about an hour and a half to play. Golf balls and putters will be provided, but golfers are welcome to use their own equipment.

Scorecards will have a coupon for participating restaurants in the Main Street District, valid only on the day of the mini golf event, on the back.

“We hope the coupon will encourage golfers to grab lunch with the family at a downtown restaurant after their round,” Bassman said.

My position on Newton K-8 reconfiguration, as of today: The basic idea of reconfiguration isn’t necessarily bad.

I believe there could be benefits in making a change. With the current situation, there are lots of details that need to be understood before a good decision can be made.

Setting a date for when this plan is to be implemented without understanding all of these details isn’t wise. With the next five years projected for very little student enrollment growth, the district has CANTU | 3A

to be addressed most urgently in central Iowa: When considering student safety across all of central Iowa, I think of bullying. For NCSD specifically, the district is spread out. We need to be aware of children traveling within and around each campus. Understanding the impacts of social media like Facebook and Twitter will also be important. I understand there is work being done to update the bus routes, and the board has approved purchasing a new camera system for the buses, which will be a nice enhancement to the current practices and policies.

Healthy drinks for kids

By Emily Ring RD, LD Newton Hy-Vee Registered Dietitian We know the importance of getting kids to eat healthy foods, but what about getting them on board with healthy drinks? What kids drink can greatly affect how many calories they consume and the amount of calcium — which is needed to build strong bones — their bodies get.

The best drinks for preschoolers — and kids of all ages — are milk and water. Both are full of nutrients and are the best thirst quenchers. Whenever possible, discourage your kids from drinking soda and other sugary, calorie-dense drinks.

The U.S. Dietary Guidelines’ recommendation for milk or equivalent dairy products or fortified soy beverages are: • Kids (ages 2 to 3) should drink 2 cups every day • Kids (ages 4 through 8) should drink 2.5 cups every day • Kids (ages 9 through 18) should drink 3 cups every day It’s best to choose nonfat or

low-fat milk. Nonfat (skim) milk has the same nutritional value as whole milk — with no fat. Because the fat portion of whole milk does not contain calcium, you can lose the fat without losing the calcium. Reduced-fat (2 percent), low-fat (1 percent) and nonfat milk (skim) have vitamin A and vitamin D added, since these vitamins are lost when the fat is removed.

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that all children 2 years of age and older drink low-fat or nonfat milk.

Too much juice, juice drinks, sports drinks and soda can crowd out the water and milk that kids need. Sugary drinks can also pile on calories.

Here’s a quick chart to compare: • Water, 8 oz., 0 calories, 0 g. sugar • Low-fat milk, 8 oz., 100 calories, 11 g. sugar • Orange juice, 8 oz., 110 calories, 22 g. sugar • Juice drink, 8 oz.,150 calories, 28 g. sugar • Powdered drink mix, 8

oz., 90 calories, 24 g. sugar • Soda, 8 oz., 100 calories, 27 g. sugar If your child likes juice, be sure it’s 100 percent juice rather than a juice drink that typically has 10 percent fruit juice. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends no juice for babies up to 6 months old; no more than 2 to 4 ounces per day (serving in a cup) for babies 6 to 12 months old; no more than 4 to 6 ounces per day for kids ages 1 to 6 and no more than 8 to 12 ounces per day for kids 7 to 18 years of age.

When it comes to soda, remember those drinks have no nutritional value and are high in sugar. Colas and other sodas often contain caffeine, which is best kept to a minimum. The effects of a caffeinated beverage on a child will be much more pronounced than on an adult because kids weigh less and are still growing and developing.

Too much caffeine can cause jitteriness, an upset stomach, headaches and sleeping problems.

Boot Camp with Chad Sept. 28 to Oct. 30 or Nov. 9 to Dec. 11 Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays — 5:15 to 6:15 a.m.

Led by longtime instructor Chad Robson, this class combines intervals of cardio drills and muscle conditioning exercises to provide you with the ultimate circuit workout. Classes may use jump ropes, stairs, free weights and even a little healthy competition.

Water Aerobics Monday through Friday — 6 to 7 a.m. and 9 to 10 a.m.

Water exercises are considered the safest form of exercise because the body is supported by the water and the water resistance provides maximum benefits without pain or sore, stiff muscles. The class is designed for everyone, regardless of fitness level.

Kid’s Strength, Speed and Agility Training Sept. 29 to Oct. 22, third through sixth grade Tuesdays and Thursdays — 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.

This training system is designed for athletes that are motivated to maximize their ability to swiftly move and control their body with the intended purpose of improving their athletic performance on the field, court and track. Cost is $20 for YMCA members and $40 for non-members.

YMCA to host annual Turkey Trot 5K Nov. 14 The Newton YMCA, along with Lauterbach Buick/GMC and Newton Clinic, will host its annual Turkey Trot 5K at 8:30 a.m. Nov. 14 at the YMCA courtyard, 1701 S. Eighth Ave. E. in Newton.

Some cancers more common than others Newton Daily News Despite decades of research, the cure for cancer remains elusive, and this year millions of people across the globe will be diagnosed with cancer.

Cancer is the second-leading cause of death in the United States, behind only heart disease. Although cancer can be deadly, it also is highly treatable when detected early.

While cancer can affect every area of the body, some cancers are more prevalent than others. The following are some of the most common forms of cancer in North America.

Skin cancer: The Skin Cancer Foundation states that each year there are more new cases of skin cancer than the combined incidences of cancers of the breast, prostate, lung, and colon.

One in five Americans will develop skin cancer in the course of his or her lifetime. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of skin cancer and is rarely fatal, but it can be disfiguring.

Melanoma accounts for less than 2 percent of skin cancer cases but is attributed to the most deaths, according to the American Cancer Society.

Lung cancer: Lung cancer is the second most common cancer and the primary cause of cancer-related deaths in both men and women in the Unites States, says the National Cancer Institute.

Rates of lung cancer are on the decline as more and more people avoid tobacco, the use of which greatly increases a person’s risk of developing lung cancer. Risk also is increased by exposure to secondhand smoke, envi-

ronmental exposures, such as radon, workplace toxins (e.g., asbestos and arsenic) and air pollution.

Uterine cancer: Uterine cancer is the most common form of female reproductive cancer. The National Institutes of Health offers that, since 2002, overall incidence rates have not changed significantly, whereas mortality rates have been slowly rising since 2001. There is no routine screening method for uterine cancers, and many women do not know they have the disease unless they notice certain symptoms, such as unusual bleeding.

Prostate cancer: It’s estimated that one in six men in the United States will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime, and prostate cancer accounts for roughly 25 percent of all new cancer cases among men in

Canada. It’s the most commonly diagnosed cancer among men (excluding skin cancer) and the second most common cause of death.

Colorectal cancer: The third most common cancer among men and women, 95 percent of colorectal cancers are adenocarcinomas, says the ACS. These types of cancers start in gland cells, like the cells that line the inside of the colon and rectum. Because it can be embarrassing to get screened for colorectal cancer, some people put it off until it is too late.

Speak to your physician about screening guidelines and recommendations.

Breast cancer: Excluding skin cancer, breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer among women, though it also can affect men. Early detection is imperative.

Local & State News KinderCare Continued from Page 1A Inside are bathrooms with toilets of various heights for children younger than age 5 and sinks for that age group as well. There are three large, open rooms — one with a small performance stage; a front-office with a “customer” walk-up window; an industrial-size washer and dryer and at least two hot-water heaters — one of which Skokan said is very new; a full kitchen with appliances; a main, central meeting/ multi-purpose room; a room with a small stage and several storage closets with built-in metal-wire shelving.

there in May 2014, at the end of the 2013-14 school year. The KinderCare corporation continued to pay rent until its lease ran out in May 2015, Skokan said.

The Jasper County Assessor lists the land at a value of $114,280 and the improvement value at $535,720, for a total value of $650,000. Skokan said a grant from Maytag — which had sought a preschool-type facility for its employees — covered a large portion of the $1 million construction cost.

Skokan said selling the building at a great discount to a nonprofit is certainly something the foundation would consider. It seems logical that the foundation leadership thought about its local school district when pondering who might take over the facility.

With the Newton

Community School District preparing to reconfigure at the start of the 2016-17 school year, he decided to approach the NCSD board of education. The board had the KinderCare building on its July 27 meeting agenda as a non-action item, and there were several elements brought up during a 20-minute discussion.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan said he realizes that when Newton Schools began to offer preschool in the fall of 2010, businesses in town which offer similar or nearly identical services were not pleased. He said it’s important for the district to “be transparent” and have discussions about the building’s possibilities at open public meetings.

Several ideas were mentioned regarding the former KinderCare building,

carrying weapons as a part of a plea deal.

Rickers said he would recommend a concurrent sentence with the federal sentence but did not guarantee it would happen with federal sentencing still pending.

LaVera was charged locally in June 2014 after allegedly using his celebrity status impersonating a “Twilight” actor to entice a then 14-year-old girl to a park in Baxter after having sexually explicit conversations with

the teen on Facebook.

While at the park, LaVera is accused of touching the teen inappropriately and then luring her into his vehicle. According to court documents he drove her around Baxter until concerned family and friends, who had reported a kidnapping, were able to stop the vehicle and get the girl out of the car.

both in terms of how it could be used as is, renovated or how the Emerson Hough building could be used if preschool were relocated.

However, he also acknowledged any separate school building would likely need its own certified administrator as a principal, and Business Director Gayle Isaac said there are currently no funds available for either the purchase or the staffing of another building.

No action was taken by the board regarding the building, except to place it on the agenda for discussion at an upcoming School Improvement Advisory Committee meeting.

Skokan said there are a number of uses he could envision for the building, which he said was kept in top condition by Kinder-

Care. Not only could it be a preschool or daycare, operated by a commercial or nonprofit organization, but it could also be used as simple office space, a meeting facility, or, if the kitchen were expanded, it could even become a coffee shop or eatery of some sort.”

“All those little sinks and toilets could easily be removed, or replaced with full-size fixtures,” he said.

“That would cost some money, but it’s a pretty basic plumbing job.”

Skokan said the small toilets and sinks could also be simply left in place, if those are not in the way.

There are several regular adult bathrooms and sinks.

“The location, in the center of town, near the courthouse square, is a big selling point,” Skokan said. “So is having the Newton Public Library

Cantu Continued from Page 1A more pressing needs at this time. The Berg Complex could use the attention and resources that will be spent focused on reconfiguration.

I would also like to better understand the feasibility of developing a magnet school within the district and how that could enhance educational performance.

These tools should be utilized in Newton to get parents more involved in the educational process: When considering new tools for the district that will improve the educational process, one thing comes to mind. The district has a LOT of tools already.

I’m not sure more tools are needed. In my career, I’ve found that when you simplify and have the communication

on one side, and the other side is now a grassy field (the vacant lot that’s the site of the former Newton Seed Store and city water works building).

Skokan said no matter who shows interest in the property, there should be a great deal of discussion before decisions are made.

“I’m on the board of directors for the Newton Development Corporation, and we have so many vacant buildings downtown now,” Skokan said. “We’d love to see this building used in a way that could help us grow the community.”

process make sense to those involved, you become more effective.

Let’s leverage technology like Infinite Campus to make what we are doing already more effective — not more work.

Newton offering preschool without a basic monthly or annual charge to parents is important: The fundamental concept of providing Pre-K options for families that may not have the financial resources to do so otherwise is important. I’m more interested in making sure all students have the access to a Pre-K program than creating a financially lucrative preschool program within the district.

The investment the district makes in children of this age will pay dividends in the future both financially, and more importantly personally, for those students’ educational performance.

My day with Mr. State Fair

By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | Aug. 20, 2015

Editor’s Note: This column originally appeared in the Aug. 14, 2014 edition of the Newton Daily News.

I grew up less than two blocks from the Iowa State Fairgrounds.

On the south side of the complex, my neighborhood was inundated each year with cars, SUVs and RVs. One particular year, a car blocked our driveway and a motorhome owner attempted to empty his septic tank in my ditch on the same day.

Needless to say, the extent of my fair experience was filled with traffic jams and long waits to head to the store, as one million Iowans invaded my neighborhood for two weeks of the summer. That is until I met Mr.

State Fair and his family.

Mr. State Fair is the farthest thing from a cynic. If he were sitting in state fair traffic, he would probably whistle a tune that gives him a chuckle. Mr. State Fair is jovial.

Each year Mr. State Fair leads his six — now adult — children and Mrs. State Fair through the event — which is so popular Rodgers and Hammerstein based a musical on its greatness.

This year, Mr. State Fair indulged his sweet tooth at the fair.

He began his day at the saltwater taffy stand, then picked up an ice cream cone of fresh Wells Blue Bunny ice cream, while looking at this year’s prize food contest winners.

Mr. State Fair then cheered on his family from the ground as they rode the Crazy Mouse roller coaster. The photo of Mrs. State Fair and their children, with blown-back cheeks and hair, brought a belly-laugh to the annual fair-goer.

After a walk through the 4-H building, Mr. State Fair’s sweet tooth once again came knocking, and he needed a glass of honey lemonade while looking at the new Field of Dreams/Butter Cow exhibit. But he found time to smell the roses and take a picture with Mrs. State Fair under a tree in the Iowa State University Discovery Garden.

With each place they visited, the State Fair family renewed

memories of fairs gone by. Mr. State Fair’s sole daughter still has a look of wonder as she observes each type of animal. His eldest son came home from California to join the fair festivities — each building, each show and each food vendor a tradition. A day with Mr. State Fair and his family could excite even the most morose of anti-state fair souls.

After a porkchop-on-a-stick, a visit to Pioneer Hall and Tribal Village and another sweet at the ISF ice cream parlor, Mr. State Fair smiled and waved goodbye to his favorite place until next year.

Scapegoating immigrants isn’t the answer About three years ago, my dad was driving the truck he uses for his landscaping business in Phoenix, Ariz. when he was pulled over.

Two patrol cars cornered him for making a wide right turn.

Yes, you read that right: Multiple police officers went out of By Cecilia their way to stop Velasco my dad for supposedly making a right turn too wide.

The traffic cops grilled my dad and his coworker about their immigration status. They let my dad, a Mexican immigrant and U.S. citizen, go on his way without even issuing a warning. Then they arrested his coworker, who happened to be an undocumented immigrant.

What seemed like a normal drive to work turned into a nightmare.

Traffic stops that often begin with this kind of racial profiling, along with parking tickets and other minor offenses, have led to two-thirds of the record 2 million deportations during the Obama administration. These daily expulsions have instilled a culture of pain and fear among all our nation’s immigrant communities.

When some of those communities urged their local governments to do something about it, about 300 cities responded by becoming something called a “sanctuary city.”

Maybe you’ve heard a lot about these places lately, but don’t know what a sanctuary city is.

It’s a term for localities where police officers don’t have the added responsibility of acting as federal immigration authorities. As a result, people won’t be deported without a compelling reason, more families will remain united, and police officers will get to focus on the already tough job of policing real criminals instead of racially profiling drivers.

Sanctuary cities serve everyone’s interest.

They boost public safety and foster trust between local law enforcement and immigrant communities. Undocumented immigrants can work, go to school, and live their lives without constant fear of deportation. They’re no longer afraid to report crimes or assist in a police investigation.

This restores a bit of the human dignity that immigrants are too often robbed of.

Studies have shown that sanctuary cities are actually safer than other places. But one tragic incident has ignited a debate in Congress and the 2016 presidential race.

Earlier this summer, Kathryn Steinle was shot and killed in San Francisco. Juan Francisco Lopez-Sanchez, the alleged shooter and an undocumented immigrant, had a long criminal record, including drug charges and several deportations. He’d just been released after serving time for re-entry into the country, an act that’s considered a felony.

Presidential candidates and

politicians are taking advantage of this incident to justify their extremist anti-immigrant views. But studies show that native-born Americans commit crime at a higher rate than immigrants and are five times more likely to be serving time in prison.

There’s no reason to presume that undocumented immigrants are a menace to society. Yet before starting its August recess, the House passed a bill that would deny federal law enforcement funding for sanctuary cities. This measure would reverse years of progress by immigrant rights organizations, local governments, and local police associations.

Steinle’s death was a terrible tragedy. But scapegoating undocumented immigrants won’t make San Francisco or the rest of the country any safer.

What became of my dad’s co-worker? Following that traffic stop arrest, he was detained by local authorities for a couple of days and then handed over to immigration officers. He spent two months in an immigration detention center.

A compassionate judge granted his release because his eldest son was on the brink of becoming a U.S. citizen, and the man obtained a temporary work permit. Happy endings to stories like these would become rarer if anti-immigration House lawmakers get their way.

On Monday, Jim Miller found a penny on the sidewalk in front of his business, t h e Lucky B e a r ’s Basket, in Mt. Pleasa n t .

T h e By Curt Swarm p e n - Guest Columnist ny was h e a d ’s up. “Ah,” thought Jim. “Good luck.” He took the penny into his antique store and showed Judy, his wife and co-owner. She put the penny on the counter next to the cash register where it would bring good luck.

The next day, Jim sold a couple of trunks to a mother and daughter from Missouri. The daughter was getting married and they wanted the trunks for background at the wedding.

One trunk was smaller than the other, and fit inside the larger trunk.

Jim was loading the heavy trunks into the back seat of the ladies’ car. There was barely enough room to squeeze the large trunk into the back seat without tearing the molding on the door seal. (He had no idea how the ladies were going to get the trunks out when they got home.) It was a hot day, and Jim had worked up a sweat. His glasses were slipping from his face, so he took them off and laid them on the roof of the car. He told the mother to not let him forget his glasses. (Famous last words.) He got the trunk into the back seat, and the seat belts fastened around the trunk so that it wouldn’t slam into the ladies’ seat if they came to a sudden stop. He said goodbye, they backed out, and took off for Missouri.

Jim went back into the antique store. Having recently opened the antique mall in downtown Mt. Pleasant, business was booming.

He could smell the fragrance of freshly refinished furniture, his

famous coffee brewing, and hear the sound of the cash register operating — music to his ears.

But something didn’t look right. He felt his face. His glasses were gone. Panicking, he took off like a wild tornado in the direction the car had traveled, passersby staring in wonder at the 6-foot-2-inch, 70-yearold man running down the street. But it was too late. The ladies were nowhere in sight.

He searched up and down the street, looking to see if his glasses had slipped off the roof of the car, fearing that if they had, they would be smashed by now. No glasses.

He went back into the store and told his wife what had happened. Jim cannot see to write an invoice without his glasses. He would have to go home and get an old pair.

He got in his truck and headed home, watching the street closely for any remnants of the traveling glasses.

About three blocks from the store, in front of the Dairy Queen, he saw something between the two lanes of Business 34. As he got closer, sure enough, it was his glasses. He parked his truck over them, turned on his four-way flashers, got out and reached under the truck. Miracle upon miracles, there was nary a scratch. He had left the glasses open when he placed them on the roof of the car, and that’s the way he found them.

When he got back to the store, glasses on his face, he thanked the Man Above, because at Jim’s age, he figures he needs all the breaks he can get. He also figures he used up all the luck that penny had to offer.

He and Judy are now keeping there eyes open for a second penny, head side up.

Teenage boys need reliable advice about contraception

DEAR ABBY: In my family alone, three young women have — by their own admission — gotten pregnant on purpose to get their boyfriends to marry and support them. None of these marriages worked out. The horrible relationships were and still are hurtful and damaging, not only to the children, but also to the rest of the family. I’m aware of several other women who have admitted to entrapping their baby daddy by “forgetting to take their pills,” so I know this isn’t just happening in my family.

Contraceptive measures for boys are limited and fallible, and I am concerned. My nephews’ mother entrapped their now-absent father, so I doubt she’ll mention this to them.

How and when does a relative talk to soon-to-be teen boys about entrapment? — ANONYMOUS RELATIVE DEAR RELATIVE: The subject of contraception should be part of an ongoing, age-appropriate conversation about sex and reproduction. Boys and girls mature physically earlier than they did decades ago, and because of the Internet they are often exposed to a wide variety of information.

I do think a warning is in order because of your regrettable family situation. However, you should be aware that no law dictates that a man “has” to marry a woman (or girl) he has gotten pregnant. If a paternity test proves he is the father of the baby, he IS required to support his child until the child is no longer a minor.

DEAR ABBY: My widowed mother-in-law began dating a man a few months ago. My husband and I are happy for her because he seems to be a good person. She really seems to enjoy spending time with him.

We live in Michigan and she lives in South Carolina. She told me she

has asked him to come with her the next time she visits us. I have no problem with this, but I do not want them to share a room in my home because they’re not married. I have boys who are 10 and 13, and I think it would send the wrong message.

Yes, I know I’m old-fashioned. Talk about role reversal! How do I handle this? — STICKING TO IT DEAR STICKING TO IT: Handle it by offering to make reservations for your mother-in-law and her gentleman friend at a nearby hotel or motel. And if she asks you why, explain it to her as you explained it to me.

DEAR ABBY: I have neighbors whose house I go to in order to see pay-per-view fights. I split the cost of the fights and food with them. The problem is, if anyone else comes over, they don’t pitch in. Also, they eat the food I just paid half of. Another issue is I eat for one and they eat for five, yet we split the cost down the middle.

How do I resolve this? — SHORT END OF THE DEAL IN CALIFORNIA DEAR SHORT END: You could try duking it out, but the most effective way would be for you to discuss it with your neighbors, because I agree what’s happening doesn’t seem fair to you.

Chiropractor charged with simple assault KEOKUK — A chiropractor in southeast Iowa has been charged with simple assault after authorities say he engaged in inappropriate contact with a female patient in his office.

The Keokuk Police Department says Andrew William Kearse was arrested Tuesday afternoon, though Kearse answered the phone Wednesday when contacted at his office in Keokuk. He declined to comment on the charge. Authorities say they began investigating Kearse in June.

SIOUX CITY — A 28-year-old Sioux City man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison in the death of his 2-month-old son and neglect of his two other children.

Michael Williams pleaded guilty Wednesday to charges including child endangerment resulting in serious injury. The sentence is part of a plea deal. According to authorities, 2-month-old Leonard Williams was taken to a hospital on April 29, 2014. Authorities say an autopsy showed the child died of malnutrition.

Perry questions border wall plans, stresses better security The Associated Press DES MOINES — Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry said Wednesday that simply building a wall is not the best way to secure the U.S. border and halt illegal immigration.

Speaking at the Iowa State Fair, the Republican presidential hopeful said he would secure the border through more guards, fencing and air patrols. His comments came several days after 2016 GOP front-runner Donald Trump released an immigration plan that includes a permanent border wall and a plan to end citizenship rights for children born to families living illegally in the country.

“The idea that some would say, ‘Let’s just build a wall.’

That may be good political rhetoric, but the real focus is

on how are you going to secure the border,’” Perry said. He later questioned the logistics of building a wall, saying: “How long is it going to take? How much is it going to cost? What are you going to do about tunnels under it?”

On the issue of birthright citizenship, Perry noted that changing citizenship rules would require amending the Constitution and said he would prefer to focus on border security to prevent illegal immigration in the first place.

“I have to live with reality.

Reality is it takes at best years, probably decades to deal with this 14th amendment issue,” said Perry. “You get the border secure, the 14th amendment thing becomes inconsequential.”

Perry, who has struggled recently in the polls and has

USDA seeking proposals for production of bird flu vaccine DES MOINES (AP) — The U.S. Department of Agriculture is preparing to stockpile a bird flu vaccine as the agency plans for a possible return of the virus that led to the destruction of 48 million chickens and turkeys this spring.

Wild birds’ northern migration was blamed for the original spread of the H5N2 virus. And while there’s no certainty the virus will reappear during southern migration this fall, the USDA plans to increase surveillance to catch any recurrence early and have hundreds of additional workers ready to euthanize infected flocks quickly as a means of avoiding the farm-to-farm spread.

But in case another outbreak gets out of hand, the government wants to acquire a stockpile of vaccines available for delivery within 24 hours, and issued a notice Tuesday that it was accepting bids from animal health companies for vaccine development.

“We want to be prepared if we get in a situation where we believe a vaccination would be a useful adjunct to our eradication efforts,” said Dr. T.J. Myers, associate deputy administrator for veterinary services at USDA’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service.

Rebranding effort underway at Iowa Wesleyan University MOUNT PLEASANT (AP) — A rebranding effort is underway at Iowa Wesleyan University to help attract more prospective students.

The school, formerly known as Iowa Wesleyan College, is getting new logos, business cards, a website design, signage and a school seal. The new name is a part of university president Steve Titus’ goal for the school to serve as the “regional comprehensive university for southeast Iowa.”

“Whether it’s presidential politics or water crisis, even rural and agriculture economy,” Titus said, “In this region, we want to be the place people think of and say if they are going to have important conversations, this is the place we need to do that.”

The school is in the process of expanding graduate degree programs. He notes that the school’s nursing program received its national accreditation several months ago, reaffirming that the program is “extremely high quality.” The school last year had 15 nursing graduates and 100 percent passage rate on the national nursing exam.

Titus adds that the rebranding effort is working because freshman enrollment has increased from a year ago.

tive experience and stressed his commitment to putting more power in the hands of state government.

Asked about his fundraising during a news conference, Perry said things are looking up.

“We’ve had the best week of fundraising last week that we’ve had since June,” Perry said, vowing to keep campaigning. “There are people who can keep a pretty small footprint. I’m one of them.”

Perry’s 2012 presidential campaign started with great fanfare, but stumbled quickly. He went from being a front-runner to an also-ran because of a series of gaffes and poor debate performances — most notably his “oops” moment, when he could only list two of the three federal agencies he said he would close if elected president.

HOW WE MADE THE GYRAFOAM

Now Available!

ONLY $19.99 plus tax

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."

NCMP Aquagirls in training

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PORTLAND, Ore. — The four players on Central Iowa’s little league softball team who will play for Collins-Maxwell/Baxter played a monster role in Central’s win in the third-place game at the Little League Softball World Series on Wednesday.

Mikayla Houge earned another win in the circle and sruck out four. Houge, twins Emma and Ella Kahler and Abby Husak combined for nine of Central’s 15 hits in a 9-2 win over Southwest.

Central went 5-2 at the LLSWS and Houge was in the circle for all five wins. She allowed six hits and two earned runs while fanning four and walking one.

Houge, the daughter of CMB softball coach Troy Houge, faced 24 batters and threw 16 first-pitch strikes and 85 pitches total.

Houge was 3-for-4 at the plate with a run scored, while Ella Kahler was 3-for-3 with two RBIs, Emma Kahler was 2-for-2 with two RBIs and Husak was 1-for-1 with a run scored.

Central scored four in the second, two in the fifth and three in the sixth. Southwest committed five errors.

There were 21 combined hits in the game, 20 of which were singles. The only extra-base hit was a double by Emma Kahler.

The West squad, which was the team who tried to lose on purpose to keep Central out of the semifinals, won its fifth-place game, 4-1 over, Europe-Africa. Asia-Pacific beat Latin America 11-2 in the seventh-place game and Oregon District 4 defeated Canada 14-8 in the ninth-place game.

Southeast, the team Houge and Central defeated 3-1 in pool play, won the championship Wednesday night, winning 4-2 over East.

Iowa State is loaded at wide receiver

Troy Hyde/Daily News Sophomore Allen Lazard talks to the media during Iowa State’s recent football media day. Lazard is among the top receivers back on the field for the Cyclones following a 45-catch freshman season. He also will see action as a punt and kickoff returner for ISU in the 2015 season.

AMES (AP) — For Iowa State to have any shot at a turnaround his fall, it must fix an offense that ranked among the worst in the country last season.

The Cyclones certainly have plenty of guys to throw the ball to.

The return of Quenton Bundrage following a knee injury that cost him all nearly all of 2014 should give Iowa State one of the best receiving corps in school history.

Bundrage, who caught nine touchdown passes in 2013, will join D’Vario Montgomery and sophomore Allen Lazard atop a depth chart that’s as deep as it’s ever been at wide receiver.

Iowa State opens by hosting FCS school Northern Iowa on Sept. 5.

“It’s a good feeling walking onto the practice field knowing you have some guys that can make plays,” Iowa State wide receivers coach Tommy Mangino said. “To have the talent level that they have to start camp is a great feeling.”

Bundrage entered last season as arguably the program’s most promising player.

That we went down in the first quarter of the first game was one of the main reasons that the Cyclones won just twice in 2014.

Bundrage broke out as a sophomore two years ago, leading the Cyclones with 48 receptions for 676 yards while catching multiple touchdowns in three different games.

Bundrage is healthy again, and Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said he’s made a statement during fall camp by routinely being the first player to show up at the team facility.

“He’s provided leadership. He’s playing hard. There’s no limp to him. Nothing about the knee that is slowing him down,” Rhoads said. “He’s very focused ... his mindset is right.”

The absence of Bundrage was the catalyst for Montgomery’s breakout season.

Now 30 pounds lighter, Montgomery could emerge as one of the Big 12’s best wideouts.

Montgomery started last season slowly. But as the Cyclones fell further and further away from contention, Montgomery quietly became a key weapon.

He caught 41 passes for 564 yards in the last seven games of the year and racked up a pair of 100-yard efforts against Texas and Kansas.

The 6-foot-6 Montgomery, who played last season at nearly 250 pounds, has spent the offseason shedding excess weight.

Montgomery said he’s been going on two to three runs a day, often taking along his tiger-striped American Bulldog, King.

“I feel a lot more explosive. I feel a lot shiftier, I guess you’d say. I can really tell the difference,” Montgomery said.

King “loves to run around and my thing was that I knew I needed to lose the weight — and it helped (King) out a lot. He got a lot bigger and I got a lot smaller.”

Lazard was one of the biggest recruits Iowa State ever landed, and he showed it as a true freshman with 45 catches.

Rhoads said the 6-foot-5 Lazard is also the most sure-handed punt returner the Cyclones have, so expect him to play a major role on special teams in 2015.

Iowa State is especially fortunate to have so many weapons for senior quarterback Sam Richardson because its run game is as shaky as can be.

The Cyclones don’t have a single back with more than 25 collegiate carries, so they might need all those receivers to carry the offense.

“If we step our games up and we’re all on the same level and the same page that can be big in this conference,” Bundrage said.

Central Iowa Little League finishes third at LLSWS

Michael Waltrip Racing grants Clint Bowyer release for 2016

By Jenna Fryer The Associated Press Michael Waltrip’s rocky nine-year effort to build a successful race team was on the verge of collapse Wednesday as the organization said it will not run any cars full-time next season.

Clint Bowyer was given a release from his contract to pursue a new job for 2016.

The decisions are the fallout from co-owner Rob Kauffman’s recent purchase of an ownership stake in Chip Ganassi Racing. Kauffman bought 50 percent of MWR during its debut 2007 season to keep the team afloat.

Kauffman said in a statement that Bowyer and David Ragan will complete the season for MWR, and the team will “race hard and compete” through the end of the year.

But the future plans for the organization were announced Wednesday because the team now has “clarity” after weighing its options.

“I want to thank all of our staff, partners, sponsors and fans for all their effort and support over the years,” Kauffman said. “Clint Bowyer has done a lot for MWR since joining us in 2012 and we appreciate the energy and effort he has given the organization.

“Clint and I agreed we would go our separate ways at the end of the season and I wish him well in whatever direction he pursues.”

NASCAR Photo Clint Bowyer, driver of the No. 15 5-Hour Energy Toyota, looks on during practice at June’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Sonoma Raceway in Sonoma, Calif.

Bowyer is currently 16th in the Sprint Cup standings and has three races remaining to claim one of the 16 berths in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Although he could end up at Ganassi with sponsor 5-Hour Energy, Bowyer is likely looking for a one-year resting place to wait for an opening with one of NASCAR’s powerhouse teams in 2017. It’s possible he could replace Tony Stewart at Stewart-Haas Racing should the three-time NASCAR champion make 2016 his final season.

“After extensive discussions with Rob and MWR, we came to the point that we mutually

agreed our paths in the future just didn’t align,” Bowyer said.

“But I think we all agreed on the next steps in a very professional manner.

“I am looking forward to what future opportunities may come but for now we have a championship to pursue in 2015 and we owe it to every one of our sponsors, partners, employees and fans to deliver on and off the track.”

MWR entered Sprint Cup competition as Toyota’s flagship team. But the team was involved in a cheating scandal before its very first Daytona 500 and its three cars struggled to qualify for races.

Blame, regret and selfcriticism may be a normal response when things don’t go the way we want them to, but these responses do little for our experience going forward.

Get back to building a good life. Venus and Uranus are conspiring to make your way easier, and so is the emotional fluidity of the Scorpio moon.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 20). You’ve been honing your powers of attraction, and so you shouldn’t be surprised with the results. Multiple romantic options for singles are part of this. Job offers and social invites will also be your lucky problem. The road to

a fulfilling career is fraught with challenges, which you’ll handle brilliantly at the end of the year. Aquarius and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 24, 9, 28 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

If you want a cool accent, you have to go somewhere else in the world where the people don’t talk like you. It’s something to consider now, taking your act worldwide.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

No one who is adorable is trying to be, as adorableness relies on a certain unselfconsciousness. You’ll fall in love

person, right now you will benefit more from being open to the ordinary people around you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You can anticipate trouble without borrowing it. The trick is in anticipating a few different outcomes, most of them not troublesome at all, and having a prepared response for each.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

With your feet at home, your eyes are on the world. You have a feeling that what you need most right now is out there. You may find it on the Internet. Be sure to ask the people at home for an opinion.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You may be older than you were yesterday, but you are better, too. Things are looking up, and you’re taking the big strides you couldn’t have taken before. You know more, and so you do more.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’re not sure you’re being taken for granted, but that’s the way it feels. Test the theory. Stop offering all that comes with being in a relationship with you. Pull back for a while to see what happens.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Friendship is fortified in laughter. The best part is that you don’t have to try hard to make your friends smile.

Hilarity comes as a natural

extension of your bond.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You have specialized knowledge -- you just don’t realize it right now because you haven’t needed to use it in your current environment. Get out there. Meet more people.

Only then will you understand how unique you are.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

That adventurous spirit of yours sometimes leads you to swim with the sharks. Other times, like now, such a swim is simply necessary in order to get where you’re going. Luckily, not everyone in the tank will be ferocious.
