By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer In a manner of 15 seconds, a person can anonymously notify four members of the Newton Community School District’s administrative team about potential threats or issues.

NCSD Technology Supervisor Chris Bieghler demonstrated how the district’s new anonymous tip line works at Monday’s board of education meeting.

The tip line can be used by parents, students and staff to report anything that may pose a safety threat. The district opted to implement this new feature when it began developing its new website last year.

During the demo, Bieghler called the tipline and left a voicemail. After a quick silence, the phones of Superintendent Bob Callaghan, and two other staff members who were present began to ring.

Tipsters will be able to leave voicemails, send text messages or email.

Newton City Hall to remain open during construction Construction will begin at Newton City Hall on Sept. 2 as city streets crews work to repair the broken curb in front of the main entrance to the building.

Presently, the curb south of the handicap parking space creates a tripping hazard and blocks the handicap stall from meeting code.

The plan is to remove this curb south of the handicap stall and stripe this area to create an access aisle for the handicap parking space.

The handicap ramp will also be modified to eliminate the tripping hazard.

Although a portion of the sidewalk will be blocked off during construction, city hall and Newton WaterWorks will remain open with regular business hours via the main entrance to the building. The WaterWorks payment drive will be closed for the duration of the construction.

Keeping Me On My Toes

Music City Memories After a long and frustrating week of dealing with my unwanted guest, the fleas, I took off with a group of my best friends for a bachelorette party in Nashville, Tenn. I have never been to Nashville and didn’t put a lot of thought into what it might be like in the country music capital of the world.

I woke up bright and early Friday at 2:45 a.m. to catch a ride to Kansas City, where we were flying out. I have to give major congratulations to the maid of honor for planning, scheduling and executing everything for a group of 20 girls. I’m not usually one to give up control and go with the flow, but it was a nice change of pace to feel so taken care of.

As soon as we arrived, a stretch limousine took us to drop off our bags at the hotel and then to lunch. So far nothing had screamed Nashville or country. After lunch, we boarded a pedal pub, which is a group bike with a bar in the middle.

It was a planned activity By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer that I knew was going to take place, but I did not anticipate how much work it would involve.

Wearing a bright orange shirt that the bride so graciously bought for us, I pedaled until my shirt was drenched and my rear was sore. I am not the most active person, playing with my kids is my main source of exercise, so this was a bit of a work out. Not to mention Nashville was going through the same heat wave that just hit Iowa.

The ride did provide a great tour of downtown Nashville. The Grand Ole Opry, Bridgestone Arena — home of the Nashville Predators, LP Field — home of the Tennessee Titans, the Country Music Hall of Fame and Broadway Street, where all of the honkey tonks and boots shops are located, are just a sampling of what we saw.

After cleaning up and grabbing some dinner, the group headed back to Broadway to take in the local flavor and celebrate the bachelorette. I do not regularly listen to country music on the radio and mostly know songs that are now close to 20 years old. Like doing research for a story, I should have prepped a little before immersing myself in the local culture.

I would estimate I knew about a quarter of what I heard the first night out. The local bands did a great job involving the crowd and my feet were pretty sore in a new boots from dancing the night away (side note: none of it was line dancing, I must say a was a little disappointed.) As an added bonus, while on our way back to the hotel we spotted a Pita Pit, which is a restaurant chain I thought only existed in Iowa.

Saturday was a free day, open to visiting local attractions or just taking it easy. With a small group, I headed back downtown to do a little shopping and grab some mementos for my girls.

That night we went to eat as a group and played the traditional bachelorette party games before spending our last night in Nashville. We hit up a karaoke bar, in which we heard our fair share of Shania Twain before hopping around until we ended up at the first bar we went to on Friday, Tootsie’s.

With an early flight home Sunday morning, I packed and grabbed a few hours of sleep before saying my good-byes to Music City.

Nashville was a little more of a tourist destination than I had anticipated, and I think that if I went back I would frequent more of the museums than the bars. With all of the history of the south, I might have to pack up my boots for a return trip in the future.

Work Daze

The 5 best times to get turned down for a raise You’re going to call me Mr. Negative, I’m positive, but I must admit that I was dubious when I came across an article by Liz Ryan titled “The Five Best Times to Ask for a Raise.”

I’m sure Ms. Ryan, the founder and CEO of Human Workplace, is very wise in the ways of the business world, but frankly, her ideas scare me. And they’re going to scare you, too.

For example, she starts from the basic assumption that you have value at your workplace. Moreover, she suggests that

By Bob Goldman you leverage Creators Syndicate this so-called value by not only talking to your boss but actually talking to your boss about how you deserve a raise.

This assertion is difficult to say, and difficult to swallow.

Since you have spent the majority of what we laughingly call your career trying to keep your head down, the idea that you would suddenly put your hand up and say, “Hey, Boss. Look at me!” is a very scary proposition.

Of course, if the rent is due, and your children are starving, and, really bad, the repo men are coming to take back your 60inch high-def TV, asking for a raise may be your only option.

Because all you know about dealing with your manager is how to lick her Ferragamos, let’s examine a few of Ms. Ryan’s ideas, such as the strategy that “you can get a raise if you can make the case that you’re underpaid relative to people who do the work you do.”

This would make a lot of sense, if the people who do the kind of work you do weren’t in Bangladesh, where they are currently paid an annual wage that can be computed by taking your salary and moving the decimal point three places to the left.

Ryan also suggests that a good time to ask for a raise is when “you’ve taken on a big new responsibility that makes the organization money, or saves money for them.” Once again, a decent plan but hardly applicable in your case. The last time anyone gave you a “big new responsibility” was decades ago, when you were interviewing for your job, and the receptionist gave you the key to the restroom. And you still haven’t returned it!

Ryan is on firmer ground when she suggests that you ask for a raise “if somebody quit or got laid off and you took over their duties.”

Unfortunately, there is something about a co-worker losing their job, or an entire department being disbanded, that doesn’t immediately trigger a bold demand for more lucre.

You tend to want to cling to whatever small shred of security you may think you possess, and being woefully underpaid could make the bean-counters think, “We pay him so little, we might as well keep him.”

Not satisfied with asking for a raise, consultant Ryan also recommends you sit down with your boss and have a “Roadmap Conversation.” This is a “one-on-one conversation where you and your manager talk about what each of you sees for your future in the organization.”

Since what you see is only grief and oblivion, I assume you are supposed to enter this road-

map meeting with some highflying fantasy about how you or your job is going to change. This is better than a real reality check.

A roadmap route that starts at the junction of a miserable job and lousy pay, and ends up with you living in a refrigerator box under a freeway underpass, does not immediately strike me as a reason for a major salary increase.

Ms. Ryan also suggests you demand a bump “when your boss acknowledges your contribution.” If you wait for this to happen, you might as well also ask your boss to start sending your new salary directly to your nursing home, McSenior Estates, because that’s where you’ll be.

As I said in the beginning, I am probably not the best person to get enthused about your opportunities for getting a raise, no matter when and how you ask for one. But here’s my idea: After you ask, and after you are fired and being escorted out of the building, it wouldn’t hurt to call back to your boss and ask for a big, fat raise.

It’s a way to show that you are out of touch with reality and saddled with an out-of-control ego. Yes, that’s right — exactly the qualities your company looks for in management.

To leave a tip, email tipline@newtoncsd.org, and Bieghler advises creating a temporary email account if you want your email to remain anonymous. To call or text, use (641) 323-1150.

In other business, the board elected to move forward with acquiring a new greenhouse for the Newton Senior High School agriculture program.

Callaghan said this project was high on the district’s priority list after NHS ag teacher James Horn first proposed the idea last spring. Callaghan noted the district didn’t move forward at that time due to limitations within last year’s budget.

Horn previously explained to the board that his program was growing substantially — more than 300 percent since

2008 — and that it needed more space to expand.

The district received four bids for the project and Horn recommended the board approve the bid from Hummert International for $70,771.

Horn said the St. Louis company has been in business more than 70 years and are a very trusted name among high school ag programs in the Midwest.

Bids for a concrete slab will be up next for the district. Callaghan said the new greenhouse is intended to be operational by January.

The new 24-by-48 foot greenhouse will be located in the upper parking lot on the south side of NHS and will be paid for using physical plant and equipment levy funds.

Ring from broken engagement gets another chance to shine DEAR ABBY: I was engaged several years ago, but the engagement didn’t last. We broke up and I gave him back his ring. We remain close friends, however, and hang out at least once a week.

I have been dating another guy for a couple of years, and we’re thinking about getting engaged. I am wondering if it would be improper to ask my ex if we could buy my old ring from him. It was — and still is — my “dream ring,” and I know my ex has kept it in the glove box of his car ever since I gave it back to him.

I don’t want to commit a faux pas, but it seems silly to buy another identical ring. What do you think? — HEADED DOWN THE AISLE DEAR HEADED DOWN THE AISLE: If you haven’t discussed this with your current boyfriend, you should. It might bother him to see you wearing an engagement ring that was given to you by someone else. If he says it’s OK, I can’t see why you shouldn’t ask your former fiance if he’d be willing to part with it. Frankly, he might be glad to get the money.

DEAR ABBY: I have a love problem I could use your help with. I go to college, and I met an amazing girl, “Lorena,” here. She’s very religious, which I like about her. We have been talking, but I’m afraid to ask her out.

I don’t have the best morals, and I’m afraid I would corrupt her if we did go out. I don’t want to make her into something she isn’t.

Should I let her be who she is, or take the risk of dating her and hope she’ll be happy? When I think about Lorena, I realize I’d do anything for her — even change my life. Please tell me what to do. — WILD MAN IN KENT, OHIO DEAR WILD MAN: Feeling as you do about Lorena, I think you should take the risk and ask her out.

Because you would do “anything” for her, make it your top priority not

to push her into anything you know wouldn’t be good for her. You wouldn’t be the first “wild man” to meet someone who made him want to be a better man. I wish you luck.

DEAR ABBY: I am a woman in my 50s. My sister, who is also in her 50s, lives with me and has for several years.

Could you please settle a dispute we are having?

She says that mail is private and when I bring my mail in from the mailbox, I should leave hers in the box. I say it is just common courtesy to bring all of it in at once and place it in a predetermined spot for the recipient. I am not saying that mail is not private, because it is. And I would never dream of opening anyone’s mail, but don’t you have to look at the envelope to know which person it belongs to?

So what do you think? Should it be left in the box or should I bring it all in? — STUMPED SISTER IN HOUSTON DEAR SISTER: I think what you have been doing is both wise and prudent. Unless the mailbox has a lock on it, I would recommend bringing all the mail into the house as soon as possible after it’s delivered to prevent theft.

However, because your sister is sensitive about it and asked that you leave it in the box for her to retrieve, you should do as she has requested.

Iowa employers to pay less in unemployment taxes DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa employers will pay less in unemployment taxes in 2015 due to strong economic gains in the state, Gov. Terry Branstad said Monday.

Branstad announced that the average unemployment insurance tax rate will drop from 1.6 percent this year to 1.2 percent next year. That means thousands of employers will save money on their tax bills.

Branstad credited a growing economy and job creation efforts. The state’s unemploy-

ment trust fund, which holds unemployment tax payments, has $1.1 billion today, compared with about $446 million at the end of 2010. That is why the state can afford to lower the tax rate.

“The fact that we’ve have economic development success and we have many fewer people drawing unemployment benefits is the real reason why the trust fund has grown significantly over the past four years,” Branstad said Iowa Workforce Develop-

ment Director Teresa Wahlert said the agency has been working to modernize operations and has hired new fraud investigators.

The state’s workforce agency, which oversees unemployment benefits, has been under scrutiny recently. The Iowa Senate Government Oversight Committee will meet this week to review the management of Iowa Workforce Development.

Democratic Sen. Bill Dotzler, of Waterloo, has alleged

that Wahlert has violated federal law that requires unemployment claims to be decided impartially. He has said that Wahlert demanded tallies on how often the judges rule in favor of employers and workers and requested the judges create tip sheets to help employers.

Agency spokeswoman Kerry Koonce has said Wahlert is not directly involved with claims and that the department will offer data to show that employers are not being

favored.

In addition, internal agency emails provided to the committee show that earlier this year, the agency provided unemployment benefits to some people who didn’t seek them and staff was urged to stay quiet about what had happened. Wahlert said Monday that the amount paid in excess was small and that staffers were told to focus on doing their jobs.

Branstad said Wahlert has his full support.

Iowa Student Loan launches new $30,000 giveaway for parents Newton Daily News WEST DES MOINES — Iowa Student Loan is giving parents a boost to their students’ college savings plans with a new $30,000 program running this fall.

The “Save Now, Save Later: College Savings Plan Parent Giveaway” offers parents a chance to enter to win one of 20 College Savings Iowa account deposits, each worth $1,500, and learn more about financial planning for college in the process.

“A $1,500 deposit can make a significant impact on a college student’s finances,” said Steve McCullough,

president and CEO of Iowa Student Loan. “By saving for college now, parents can help students save later by possibly reducing future debt and giving them a better start for their life after graduation.”

Iowa Student Loan is working directly with College Savings Iowa on the giveaway. College Savings Iowa is the state’s direct-sold 529 program, administered by State Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald. Parents who are chosen as winners can have the deposit made to an existing account, or a new account can be set up upon winning the giveaway.

“A College Savings Iowa account is

a great way for college-conscious parents to save for their children’s future college careers,” Fitzgerald said. “We thank Iowa Student Loan for partnering with us on this giveaway to support parents in their goals and help give their efforts an extra push.”

The program is open to Iowa residents who have a ninth- through 12th-grade student at an Iowa high school. No purchase is necessary, and parents need only complete a custom version of Student Loan Game PlanSM, an online educational tool offered by Iowa Student Loan, before registering for the giveaway. The information they learn, and Iowa Stu-

dent Loan’s other tools and resources, can then be shared with their student.

“Iowa Student Loan believes in empowering students and families by providing them with the information they need to make sound college financing decisions,” said Christine Hensley, Iowa Student Loan board chair. “High school is a key time for college planning, which can be a big task, and financial decisions should not be lost in the decision-making process.”

Registration for the program is open now through Dec. 19. Winners will be selected in January 2015 and announced in February 2015.

Hard to swallow? Burger King may move to Canada NEW YORK — Some Burger King customers are finding it hard to swallow that the home of the Whopper could move to Canada.

Investors seemed to welcome the announcement by Burger King late Sunday that it was in talks to buy Canadian coffee-and-doughnut chain Tim Hortons and create the world’s third-largest fast-food restaurant company. The news pushed shares of both compa-

nies up more than 20 percent.

But customers were already voicing their discontent with the 60-year-old hamburger chain because of its plans to relocate its corporate headquarters to Canada in a deal that could lower its taxes. By Monday afternoon, Burger King’s Facebook page had more than 1,000 mostly negative comments about the potential deal.

hadn’t heard of the talks until approached by a reporter while he was at a Burger King in New York City on Monday afternoon, said he didn’t like the idea of the company paying its taxes to another country.

“For them to take their headquarters and move it across the border is a negative for me,” said Simpson, 44, who was ordering a Double Whopper and onion rings.

LaVera requested to meet the teen, told her how to sneak out of her home and dictated the type of clothing she should wear to meet him, according to the report. He is charged with attempting to entice a minor for this alleged offense.

Sumpin Doo plays everything from blues to gospel and have been a staple of the Des Moines music scene since the ’60s.

At 6 p.m., international touring act the Kilborn Alley Blues Band will hit the stage.

The band, based just outside of Chicago, makes no bones about it — they play the blues and they play it well, according to more than few reviewers: “The Kilborn Alley Blues Band plays the blues like they mean it. No . . . Like they have no choice in the mat-

company to face fallout over a tax inversion, which is when a company acquires a business in another country, then relocates its headquarters there.

Big U.S. companies, including pharmaceutical AbbiVie and Valeant Pharmaceuticals, recently have pursued tax inversions to cut their costs. Earlier this month, Walgreen abandoned plans to pursue a tax inversion after negative publicity about the planned move.

SSBS is hoping this year’s line-up will help them capitalize on the success of last year’s Bowlful.

“We had roughly 800 people last year, which was 200 to 300 more than we ever had and I’d like to reach that again this year,” Pender said.

Once performances have ended, there will be an after party-jam at American Legion Post 111 hosted by the Kilborn Alley Blues Band.

Advance tickets are $15 and can be purchased in Newton at Hy-Vee and Mattingly’s Music & Books and at Cadillac Jack’s in Baxter. Tickets are $20 at the gate.

‘Breaking Bad’ and ‘Modern Family’ win Emmy Awards LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Modern Family” and “Breaking Bad” triumphed at Monday’s Emmy Awards, proving that established broadcast and cable fare retains the power to fend off challenges from upstart online series such as “Orange Is the New Black.”

The ceremony’s emotional high point came with Billy Crystal’s restrained and graceful remembrance of Robin Williams, who was found dead Aug. 11, an apparent suicide.

“He made us laugh. Hard.

Every time you saw him,” Crystal said of Williams at the conclusion of a tribute to industry members who died within the past 12 months. “Robin Williams, what a concept.”

ABC’s “Modern Family” won a fifth best comedy series Emmy, tying the record set by “Frasier,” while the final season of AMC’s “Breaking Bad” captured the top drama award and a trio of acting honors for its stars.

Netflix’s freshman “Orange Is the New Black,” which competed for best comedy series despite its dark prison setting, failed to sway Emmy voters, as did Netflix’s sophomore series “House of Cards.”

Bryan Cranston was honored as best actor in a drama for

“Breaking Bad,” proving that “True Detective” nominee Matthew McConaughey’s moviestar appeal couldn’t conquer all.

“I have gratitude for everything that has happened,” Cranston said. His victory ties him with four-time best drama actor champ Dennis Franz.

Cranston’s co-stars Aaron Paul and Anna Gunn were honored in categories for best drama supporting acting — he for the third time and she for the second straight year — and the series won its second consecutive best drama award.

“Thank you for this wonderful farewell to our show,” ‘’Breaking Bad” creator Vince Gilligan said of the series about a teacher-turned-drug kingpin that ended with a bang.

A broadcast win was scored

by ABC’s “The Good Wife” star Julianna Margulies, honored as best lead actress in a drama series. “What a wonderful time for women on television,” Margulies said.

McConaughey was the object of too-handsome jokes by presenter Jimmy Kimmel and adoration by winner Gail Mancuso, honored as best director for an episode of “Modern Family.” It was one of the better gags of the night.

“If you don’t mind, Matthew

McConaughey, I’m gonna make eye contact with you right now,” she said from the stage, making good by holding the actor’s gaze for much of her speech.

The ceremony honoring the best of TV wasn’t shy about playing the movie-star card.

“Six minutes to Woody Harrelson” flashed on screen during Colin Bucksey’s acceptance speech for best miniseries direction for “Fargo.”

Harrelson and his “True Detective” co-star were given time to banter before announcing that Benedict Cumberbatch of “Sherlock: His Last Vow” was the winner of the best miniseries actor award.

“So you won Oscar, (People magazine’s) Sexiest Man Alive and now you want an Emmy, too. Isn’t that a little bit greedy?”

Harrelson teased his fellow nominee.

“Fargo” was named best miniseries, and the award for best miniseries actress went to Jessica Lange of “American Horror Story: Coven.”

Buffering the miniseries awards was a parody routine about top nominees by “Weird Al” Yankovic. Musical numbers usually look out of place at the Emmys, and this one was no different. Other scripted banter fell flat, although host Seth

Meyers kept soldiering on.

CBS’ “The Big Bang Theory” star Jim Parsons was crowned as best comedy series actor, giving him his fourth Emmy and putting him in company with all-time sitcom winners Carroll O’Connor, Kelsey Grammer and Michael J. Fox. “Modern Family” also captured a best comedy supporting actor trophy for Ty Burrell.

Allison Janney was honored as best supporting comedy actress for CBS’ “Mom,” adding to the trophy she’d already picked up as guest actress on “Masters of Sex.” Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who received her third consecutive best comedy actress Emmy for the political comedy “Veep,” drew big laughs as she stopped to exchange faux heated kisses with Cranston, who earlier was her co-presenter and who appeared with her on “Seinfeld.”

“The Colbert Report” was honored as best variety series for its farewell season, with its star departing to take over for David Letterman on CBS’ “Late Show.”

Meyers kicked off the ceremony by tweaking his home network, NBC, and other broadcasters for being eclipsed in the awards by cable series and online newcomers like “Orange

Is the New Black.”

Noting that the Emmys moved to Monday night to avoid a conflict with Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards, he said that MTV doesn’t really specialize in videos anymore.

“That’s like network TV holding an awards show and giving all the trophies to cable and Netflix. That would be crazy,” Meyers joked — but the outcome proved him wrong.

Besides “Orange Is the New Black,” other shows that didn’t benefit from tactical category choices included “Shameless,” which moved from drama to comedy consideration, and “True Detective,” with its closeended story that smacked of a miniseries.

The ceremony’s traditional “in memoriam” tribute to industry members who have died in the past year flashed images of stars including James Garner, Ruby Dee, Sid Caesar, Carmen Zapata and Elaine Stritch as singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles sang “Smile.” It concluded with the tribute to Williams.

Another touching moment Monday: Director-producer Ryan Murphy dedicating the outstanding TV movie Emmy won by “The Normal Heart” to the many artists felled by the HIV virus and AIDS.

Mourners urge black Americans to take action ST. LOUIS (AP) — The mourners filled an enormous church to remember Michael Brown — recalling him as a “gentle giant,” aspiring rapper and recent high school graduate on his way to a technical college.

But the funeral that unfolded Monday was about much more than the black 18-year-old who lay in the closed casket after being shot to death by a white police officer. The emotional service sought to consecrate Brown’s death as another in the long history of the civil rights movement and implored black Americans to change their protest chants into legislation and law.

“Show up at the voting booths. Let your voices be heard, and let everyone know that we have had enough of all

of this,” said Eric Davis, one of Brown’s cousins.

The Rev. Al Sharpton called for a movement to clean up police forces and the communities they serve.

“We’re not anti-police. We respect police. But those police that are wrong need to be dealt with just like those in our community that are wrong need to be dealt with,” Sharpton said.

Two uncles remembered how Brown had once predicted that someday the whole world would know his name.

“He did not know he was offering up a divine prophecy,” Bernard Ewing said.

More than 4,500 mourners filled Friendly Temple Missionary Baptist Church in St. Louis for the service, which at times seemed like a cross be-

tween a gospel revival and a rock concert. It began with upbeat music punctuated by clapping. Some people danced in place.

Brown, who was to be buried in a St. Louis cemetery, was unarmed when he was killed. A grand jury is considering evidence in the case, and a federal investigation is also underway.

Police have said a scuffle broke out Aug. 9 after officer Darren Wilson told Brown and a friend to move out of the street and onto a sidewalk in the St. Louis suburb of Ferguson. Police said Wilson was pushed into his squad car and physically assaulted. Some witnesses have reported seeing Brown’s arms in the air in an act of surrender. An autopsy found he was shot at least six times.

Sharpton also took the black community to task, saying it should be as upset about black-on-black crime as it is about police violence: “We have to be outraged by our disrespect for each other.”

Money and possessions mean little, he said, “if we can’t protect a child walking down the street in Ferguson” and bring justice.

Brown’s death fueled nearly two weeks of sometimes-violent street protests in Ferguson. His father, Michael Brown Sr., asked protesters to observe a “day of silence” Monday to let the family grieve.

The request appeared to be honored.

At the Ferguson Police Department, where a small but steady group of protesters have stood vigil, a handmade sign announced a “break for funeral.”

Ty Rushing/Daily News The location has been chosen for the PCM High School agriculture program’s new barn and Nicole Gent, the teacher in charge of the program, can’t wait to see her students put it to use. The new barn will be 20-by-30 feet, cost $13,300 and serve a number of purposes.

New barn to give PCM ag students hands on experience

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

MONROE — Hands on is the way Nicole Gent likes to approach teaching, and this style is incredibly efficient when teaching students about agriculture.

Gent is the second-year ag teacher at PCM High School in Monroe.

Her students grow corn on six acres, study prairie grass and other natural phenomena at the campus’ outdoor classroom and drive/maintain a John Deere tractor they keep in a machine shop connected to the school.

The next step for the students is the addition of a new barn, which the PCM school board approved purchase of in April.

“It was more of a need for space than anything,” Gent said.

Gent said last school year, she had 87 students and she expects to have more than 100 this year. In

the spring, the ag program’s greenhouse didn’t have enough room for the feral piglets and plants they were growing, which would have become an increasing issue as more students enrolled.

“In the barn, we’ll still feral and then we’ll be able to use lots of storage for our tractor and things to free up some of our shop space for extra classes,” Gent said.

The new barn will be built just south of the football field at the school, and as of last week construction had been delayed due to rain, but the post holes had been dug.

Construction will be completed by Monroe-based Pendroy Builders.

“The kids are really excited and they’ve been excited since we started talking about it,” Gent said.

Total cost for the new 20-by-30 foot barn was $13,300 and the ag program received around $9,000 in donations and raised another $1,000

ISA to showcase research, benefits

in fundraising. The school board agreed to fund the remainder and have the program repay the district later.

Gent said growing up on her family farm north of Sigourney, she always had an interest in agriculture, and the influence of her high school ag teacher is what led to her becoming an ag teacher as well. She’s hoping this barn will fit right into the lessons she’s trying to instill in her students.

“Basically, just skills they can take no matter what their career ends up being. I guess, just life skills,” Gent said. “(The barn) will work great because when we do our lessons about vaccinations and castrations … they can actually get out and do that instead of just reading about it.”

Farmers are invited to learn more about on-farm trial results from across the state and the latest environmental programs and practices at the Iowa Soybean Association tent Wednesday and Thursday at the 2014 Farm Progress Show in Ankeny.

Research specialists from the On-Farm Network and Environmental Programs & Services teams will discuss specific replicated strip trials and projects from areas across the state and work with farmers to determine what opportunities might exist on their farm.

Also showcased will be a working model of a bioreactor showing how the carbon based system processes nitrate in tile water.

An Unmanned Aerial System and cover crop options will also be featured.

The ISA tent 754 will be located on Seventh Street near Gate Six. Show hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesday and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday.

Daily News NHS golf team places third My first The Sports Schuffle

impression

First impressions are somewhere between important and everything.

I recently read an article on For bes.com that suggested nonverbal cues, such as body language, can make a bigger imBy Ben Schuff pact on an Daily News individual ’s Sports Writer first impression than the spoken word. Considering you’re reading this in the newspaper or online and can’t see me, that part of the equation is out the window.

The article also stated an individual can form their initial opinions of someone else within the first seven seconds of meeting them.

Those seven seconds are probably up for me. Hopefully I’m off to a good start.

I thought long and hard what I should include in this space when I found out I was going to have my first column for the Newton Daily News published today. My editor suggested I use this to introduce myself to you, the reader, so here are a few things about me.

I graduated from the University of Iowa (no, I do not hate or even dislike the Cyclones) two years ago with a degree in Journalism and Mass Communication (the supply and demand of words).

I consider myself both lucky and unlucky. Beginning in August after I graduated, I spent the first 20 months of my career living and working in the Oklahoma City area as the sports editor of the Piedmont Citizen. We printed a paper once a week and updated our website daily. It was an excellent opportunity.

During that time, I experienced and thankfully survived one of the most active tornado seasons in Oklahoma’s recent history.

In May of 2013, the only May I lived in Oklahoma, there were 63 tornadoes throughout the state, including the largest tornado ever on record. The 63 tornadoes recorded made for the third most active May in Oklahoma’s history since 1950.

This past May, two months after I moved, the state had four tornados.

I’m currently living without cable TV or a smartphone. In today’s age of HD TVs and apps, some might think I’m living in the Stone Age. That thought wouldn’t be too far off considering I wrote the rough draft of this column on a rock using a chisel.

I’ve been asked a few times why I’ve chosen the career I have.

Yesterday would make for a good answer. A few hours after I woke up, I received a phone call from a gentleman named Tom Davis (not the legendary Iowa basketball coach) informing me there was an Olympic gold medalist in town.

After a few hours, I had written a story on the United States’ 1952 wrestling champion, Bill Smith, which you can read in today’s paper.

Unexpected opportunities such as that one make this job a lot of fun.

Sports are a lot of things I cannot yet describe to a lot of people I don’t know. My goal is to put into words the meaning, impact and significance of sports to those of you I encounter.

Have I made a good first impression?

MASON CITY — Newton High’s Cardinals combined for a 331 placing third in the eight-team Mason City Invitational Monday. The NHS golfers were behind Marshalltown, which shot 318, and Waterloo West in second place at 328.

“I was hoping to shoot 320 or better as I felt that would give us a chance to win,” said Pat Riley, NHS golf coach.

“It wasn’t our best day and for whatever reason we never seem to shoot great up there.”

Sophomore Austin Reynolds carded a team-best 78 for the 18-hole event at Mason City Country Club.

Reynolds finished third individually.

Junior Derek Damman shot an 81 for sixth place.

Senior Devin Shores came in with an 85 and Peyton Thomas, a junior, carded an 87.

Olympic gold medalist visits Newton

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer Before America’s only wrestling gold medal from the 1952 Olympics was placed in a museum for admiration, its champion kept it in a coffee can.

Bill Smith won the gold medal in the 160.5 pound weight class at the 1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki, Finland. He said he didn’t realize at the time how significant winning a gold medal was, which might explain his method of preservation.

“I had all my medals, including my gold medal, in a can at home,” Smith said and laughed.

Smith, who is the oldest living United States Olympic wrestling gold medalist, was in Newton on Monday visiting a friend and spoke to the Daily News about his career achievements and well being. The 86-year-old said he’s “not too far away from having a cane,” noting his vision and balance are deteriorating and that he gave up working out about eight years ago. He lives in Bode and enjoys the time he has with his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

His gold medal is no longer among past inhabitants of coffee grounds but instead on display at the International Wrestling Institute and Museum in Waterloo; the museum was in Newton from 1998-2008.

Smith had a decorated wrestling career that took off while at Iowa State Teacher’s College (now known as the University of Northern Iowa). He won back-to-back NCAA championships in 1949 and 1950 while compiling a career record of 52-0-1. He also won three National AAU Freestyle national championships at 165 pounds and was named the “Outstanding Wrestler” at the 1951 AAU tournament.

During his time in Cedar Falls, Smith had three teammates — Bill Nelson, Bill Koll and Gerald Leeman — compete in the 1948 Olympic Games in London. Their traveling experience made Smith eager and ultimately disappointed when it came time for the Games in Finland.

“One of the reasons I wanted to go to the Olympic games to begin with

Ben Schuff/Daily News Bill Smith is America’s oldest living wrestling gold medalist. Smith, who was in Newton at John’s Barber Shop on Monday, won a gold medal at the 1952 Games in Helsinki, Finland.

was because we already had three of my teammates when I was a freshman in college qualify to go in 1948, so UNI had three wrestlers on the Olympic team going to London and they went over on a boat,” he said.

“Well, being an Iowa boy, I’d never got on a boat very often. I might be on a tractor or something like that, but not a boat. So I thought, man, that’s what I want to do, go in ‘52, get on a boat and go to the Olympic Games. So here comes ‘52, I make the team, I’m going to go to the Olympics Games in Finland and what do we do? Get on an airplane and fly over. I didn’t get to go on a boat.”

Smith unknowingly won the gold medal in Finland by beating Iranian wrestler Abdollah Mojtabavi. He had also lost in the finals to Sweden’s Per

Berlin, creating uncertainty as he approached the medal podium.

“I didn’t figure I’d won because I didn’t pin him,” Smith said. “As soon as the match is over, we go to the podium and they pass out the medals for first, second and third. So I’m going to the podium and I’m really down on myself. We’re going to the podium and these guys are pushing me, ‘Go ahead, go ahead.’ I’m saying, ‘No, no, no.’

The guy kept pushing me and I got to thinking, ‘Well, heck, if they want me to get on that stand, I’ll take it. They don’t know any different.’ I went up and stood on the stand and got the gold medal and I didn’t even realize I was going to get the gold medal.

BDS Motorsports claims owner title at Knoxville Speedway Newton Daily News KNOXVILLE — BDS Motorsports of Newton won the 2014 Owners Championship for the 360 sprint car class at Knoxville Raceway. Justin Henderson drove for BDS Motorsports in the 360 and the 410 class throughout the season at Knoxville.

BDS Motorsports is owned by Bryan Sundby and his father, David Sundby. Henderson, who is from Tea, S.D., finished third in the drivers’ standings for the 410 class and BDS Motorsports was third in that class at the finish of the 2014 season Saturday.

In the end, the point leaders in each division held off the rest of the field, but it wasn’t easy.

Ian Madsen drove to a strong fourth-place finish in the 410 A main won by Mark Dobmeier to take that championship. Joe Beaver won the 360 driver title with a sixthplace finish in a race won by Matt Moro.

J Kinder needed a motor borrowed from the L&J Automotive No. 5J team to charge from 19th to fifth to claim the 305 championship. Dustin Clark won that feature.

In the 410 25-lap feature, Dobmeier pushed to the lead following a restart after 19 laps with Terry McCarl in pursuit. Madsen was passed by Dusty Zomer for third, but held onto fourth with a left wing side panel collapse.

He was followed by Craig Dollansky. Henderson, Brian Brown, Brooke Tatnell, Davey Heskin and Lynton Jeffrey rounded out the top 10.

Henderson set quick time on the night, and Danny Lasoski,Tasker Phillips and Maeschen won heats. Cole Wood flipped in his heat race, but was unhurt.

“It was a great racetrack,” said Dobmeier, who celebrated his 13th win in the Knoxville Victory Lane. “There was

a bottom, a top, and you could cut through the middle, too.

My hat’s off to the track prep guys. I was following Brian there in lapped traffic, and it’s too bad the red came out, because I think I was just getting in position and he was behind some cars. It was unfortunate he got into the wreck, but I will take the win any way I can get it.”

Smith: won gold medal at ‘52 Games Continued from Page 1B “At that time, in 1952 with the sport of wrestling, the biggest thing you could do in the sport of wrestling was be NCAA champion. Anything outside of that wasn’t a big deal to wrestlers. I didn’t get that feeling about how big it was until I was over there. Then once you’re there, seeing the whole world doing the Olympic games, that put extra pressure on me because then all of a sudden I decided, well, wait a minute. Being NCAA champion in the United States, that wasn’t that big of a deal. Being an Olympic champion is way bigger, but I didn’t realize that until I was over there.”

Smith continued his career

in wrestling as a coach following the ‘52 Games. He coached at several high schools and colleges, including the University of Nebraska, San Jose State and San Francisco State. He also coached the San Francisco Olympic Club to several AAU national team championships.

Last winter, UNI honored the school’s only Olympic gold medalist by naming the mat after Smith prior to the team’s dual meet against Oklahoma on Jan. 18.

“I was shook up, I really was,” Smith said. “I don’t get shook up too often, but that was a choke time there. I don’t shed too many tears, but that was close.”

Defense a concern for ISU ​AMES (AP) — The key to the upcoming season couldn’t be any clearer for Iowa State.

The defense will need to play much better than it did a year ago for the Cyclones to have any hope of escaping the Big 12 basement.

For all the talk about new coordinator Mark Mangino’s revamped offense, it’s Iowa State’s defense that should be under the heaviest scrutiny. The Cyclones allowed 36 points a game last season — ranking 109th out of 125 Bowl Subdivision teams — and surrendered at least 41 points five times in nine league games.

Iowa State knows that can’t happen again this season, which starts on Saturday at home against defending FCS champion North Dakota State.

“Am I happier than I was a year ago at this point with what I saw on the practice field? Yes, I am. But until we get out there and start playing other folks, we’ve got areas that are a concern for us,” coach Paul Rhoads said of his defense.

It’s hard to glean too much into the importance of returning starters when a unit struggled as much as Iowa State’s defense did in 2013.

Still, the Cyclones have some experienced guys to count on.

Iowa State has a pair of starters back to lead the program’s biggest question mark: defensive line. Right end Cory Morrissey is a potential All-Big 12 player after a promising season in 2013, and senior Brandon Jensen has reclaimed his starting spot at tackle after briefly quitting the team in the offseason.

Sophomore Mitchell Meyers has won the starting job at left end, and Devlyn Cousin will

open the season at nose tackle.

“The interior linemen, they’ve really matured. They’ve stepped up and made great plays during camp,” Morrissey said. “We’re going to make some plays this year.”

The Cyclones have plenty of linebackers.

But many of them haven’t played much beyond special teams.

Redshirt freshman Alton Meeks will be Iowa State’s middle linebacker. Unheralded former walk-on Drake Ferch beat out senior Jared Brackens for the strong-side starting job, and senior Jevohn Miller will get the nod over sophomore Luke Knott on Saturday.

Rhoads is confident that Meeks and his inexperienced backups at middle linebacker, Kane Seeley and junior college transfer Jordan Harris, will be able to handle the communication responsibilities inherent to the position.

“They made the rights and lefts and got us in the right calls,” Rhoads said. “We’ll have 11 guys out there lined up right for a high percentage of the time. I’m confident about that.”

Cornerbacks Nigel Tribune and Sam E. Richardson — who is unrelated to Iowa State quarterback Sam Richardson — will start. Kenneth Lynn and rising senior Matt Thomas will back them up. The safeties will be a pair of new starters: T.J. Mutcherson and Kamari Cotton-Moyer.

“We’ve got unproven areas.

We’ve got to get out there and start mixing it up with other folks, and it will quickly unfold to see if we are improved, markedly improved, or where we sit defensively,” Rhoads said.

Knoxville: Division point winners are crowned for 2014 Continued from Page 1B “It’s just unbelievable,” said Madsen of his championship shared with the Bret Nehring No. 18 team. “I’m just speechless right now. I haven’t taken a breath all night. I have to thank Bret Nehring, Matt Barbara, the whole crew and our partners.”

Before a lap could be completed in the 20-lap 360 feature, Russ Hall and Alan Ambers contacted, sending the latter upside down. Hall also suffered too much damage to continue. Moro shot out to the lead from outside of row one and held off all challengers for the victory.

Tasker Phillips claimed second followed by Carson McCarl, Billy Alley and Van Haaften. Joe Beaver came home sixth and won his first 360 title. Dylan Peterson finished seventh followed by Tony Shilling, Jon Agan and Jarrod Schneiderman.

Henderson also set quick time in the 360 class, clinching the owner title for the BDSMotorsports No. 1 team. Shilling, Cody Ledger and Agan won heat races.

“I didn’t want to leave any doubt on who the champion was this year,” said Beaver of his championship. “I knew enough cars dropped out that we had a good shot at it, so I went for it. The car was super tight.

We battled it the whole way. This feels great. We were consistent. Once we got the car figured out to go with the motor (Moyle supplied by Don Long). Once we got our qualifying down, we were able to move up in the points.”

Dustin Clark led lap one from his pole position, but it was Kevin Hetrick who took command of the 15-lap 305 feature early on. When Terri O’Connell slowed with three lapsin the books, Hetrick led Clark, Mitchell Alexander, Mike Mayberry and Steve Breazeale.

Kinder’s point lead over Breazeale was tenuous heading in, but he put on a charge in his borrowed motor, and was already 12th (from 19th) by the third lap. After another caution for debris a lap later, the rest of the event went non-stop.

Dustin Clark held off Stacey Alexander on the last lap to grab his first ever Knoxville victory. Hetrick was third, followed

by Mitchell Alexander and Kinder, who grabbed fifth on Lap 13. Breazeale, Mike Mayberry, Jeff Wilke, McKenna Haase and Mike Philben rounded out the top 10.

Kinder posted quick time before losing his motor. Philben, Haase and Stacey Alexander were heat race winners.

“I have to thank the Ball crew,” said Kinder of the L&J Automotive No. 5J team, which loaned him a motor. “I have to thank all the crews helping me. This motor ran great. We have to figure out what we’re going to do. This feels great. I can’t thank everyone enough. I’m in shock right now.”
