Harrison of ‘Pawn Stars’ to speak at Bridgehouse Coffee

TV personality is endorsing Rubio for president

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Rick Harrison, a star from The History Channel’s hit TV show “Pawn Stars,” will be appearing on behalf of Marco Rubio at Bridgehouse Coffee in Newton on Saturday.

Bridgehouse owner Brock Patterson confirmed Wednesday that Harrison will make a 9:15 a.m. appearance, and will share “his fascinating life journey” and why he is endorsing the U.S. Senator from Florida in the Harrison 2016 presidential race.

Following the program, there will be time for fans to meet Harrison and get autographs and pictures.

Patterson hosted Republican candidate Carly Fiorina earlier this summer, along with the Jasper County GOP’s small “straw poll” event.

“I received a call from Rubio Justin Arnold, Rubio’s Iowa Political Director, asking if we would be interested in hosting the meet-and-greet,” Patterson said. “Although it’s been some HARRISON | 3A

NCSD discusses charges, other bus policy issues Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Buses turn into the Newton Community School District transportation center during the 2015-16 school year. At Monday’s NCSD board of education meeting, a lengthy discussion was held about how to approach busing and fees in a way that will improve travel to and from school.

Reconfiguration should reduce amount of extra busing

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News No decisions were on the table regarding busing at Monday night’s Newton Community School District board of education meeting, but a long discussion was held about the policy that affects transportation to and from school, and the charges to parents.

At Monday’s meeting, held in the Emerson Hough conference room, Superintendent Bob Cal-

laghan and others led a 25-minute discussion regarding Board Policy 702.2, or student eligibility for bus service. The conversation began with discussion about fees for transporting certain students, and whether those fees should be waived, but broadened into many elements of transportation.

The district is only set to take in about $5,500 in bus fees from parents this school year, after having brought in between $12,500 and $13,000 in

2014-15.

“For grades 9 through 12, we don’t have a whole lot of students riding right now,” Callaghan said.

“But with K-8, and K-6 especially, we are moving a lot of students all the way across town by bus.”

Not only is the district not bringing in enough revenue to pay for charging fees, said board member Andy Elbert, but it would simplify the registration process and make parent open-enrollment decisions easier if

transportation fees were not a factor.

“It’s not worth it — for $5,000 or $6,000 — to tell parents that we’re not going to pick up their kids unless they pay us,” Elbert said.

Transportation was an important component of reconfiguration discussions held over the past couple of years. The board voted in March to reconfigure at the start of the 2016-17 school year, with BUSES | 3A

The event is sponsored by Clemon-Maki Insurance and West Bend Insurance along with the Newton YMCA. “We have lots of fun activities planned including appearances by Batman and Wonder Woman from the Iowa League of Heroes, sponsored by Skiff hospital, a balloon artist and concessions available from Newton Christian School and EATS Food Truck,” YMCA Membership Director Karen Parman said. “This is going to be a great event for the whole family, so help spread the word and let’s welcome Justin Roberts Newton Iowa-style.”

Roberts began his music career in the Minneapolis-based indie-rock band Pimentos for Gus. For a day job, he began teaching at a preschool and found he was starting to write and sing songs for a new audience — his students.

With a positive response from the kids, he decided to record a few songs and send them to friends, which led to a former college buddy and music producer suggesting he record them professionally.

Releasing his first CD in 1997, Roberts has been performing ever since, much

to the delight of children around the country. In 2001, he hit the road full-time and has played venues such as New York City’s Symphony Space, Washington D.C.’s National Geographic Live, Los Angeles’ Getty Museum and Lollapalooza.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Through grants from the Food Bank of Iowa and the Jasper County Foundation, the PCM Food Pantry was able to purchase a new refrigerator and freezer, just in time to replace the failing equipment that was currently in use.

New equipment helps PCM food pantry continue to fill needs

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The PCM Food Pantry recently received two grants to help with the purchase of both a new refrigerator and freezer.

With the growing need of the pantry and failure of previous equipment, the grant money came at the perfect time.

“Blessing is a continual theme for the PCM Food Pantry. The latest blessing arrived in the form of two grants to address pressing needs for refrigeration,” Monroe Presbyterian Church Pastor and Food Pantry Director Ann Johnson said.

The pantry began scheduled hours of operation in 2011. By 2012 it had become a part of the Food Bank of Iowa which allowed it to purchase for significantly reduced prices and receive free USDA products. Also at that time, the pantry received donations of used refrigerators and freezers.

Last winter, after constant use of the appliances it became apparent that new machines would

soon be needed.

“Before plans were fully in place, the refrigerator in the main pantry room stopped working and volunteers scrambled to the other available refrigerator to supply the neighbors with refrigerated items,” Johnson said.

In April, the pantry received grant money in the amount of $1,000 from the Iowa Food Banks Association and was able to purchase a new refrigerator.

Only three months later, the pantry was notified that the Jasper County Foundation would grant $800 to be put toward the purchase of a new freezer.

With the addition of the new refrigerator and freezer, the pantry will be able to continue to provide meat, milk, eggs and potential perishable products and keep all supplies safe.

“The pantry has seen steady usage over the first part of 2015, with a spike of usage occurring in June with 182 distributions made in that month,” Johnson said.

During growing months, a steady stream of garden produce

comes in from the Prairie City Church of the Brethren and the Seeds of Hope Food Pantry Garden, a project of the Prairie City United Methodist Church.

Those donated items supplement what the pantry purchases from the Food Bank of Iowa.

Additional items are received and purchased through donations from area churches as well as school drives, clubs, organization and individuals.

Volunteers work shifts on Monday morning and evening along with Thursday morning totaling 21 hours a week. A crew of three to four people also goes to the Food Bank of Iowa to pick up and deliver orders and many additional volunteers take the food to the storage or pantry room.

“Indeed the PCM Food Pantry is blessed with its ability to provide food and other items to people who have a need,” Johnson said.

10K volunteers to help with papal visit to Philadelphia PHILADELPHIA (AP) — An army of about 10,000 volunteers will be on hand when Pope Francis visits Philadelphia during the Vatican-sponsored World Meeting of Families and holds the biggest events of his first trip to the U.S. Volunteers will greet and direct pilgrims, provide translation services, aid guests with special needs and perform a variety of other roles, including posting images and messages on social media, organizers from the World Meeting of Families said.

Six weeks before the pope’s visit, nearly 8,000 had already passed criminal and employment background checks.

The checks would have cost the

World Meeting of Families more than $300,000 if the nonprofit were paying for them all. But in many cases, volunteers are covering the costs, said Tom Klein, executive director of Verified Volunteers, the company handling the work.

Mary Sisti, 23, will be coming from nearby Princeton, New Jersey, and staying with a friend who lives downtown.

She said paying the $28 fee “was the least I could do.”

She’ll be working in guest services on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway on Sept. 26, when the pope attends a closing ceremony of the family meeting. Organizers expect about 750,000 people for that event; a papal Mass the

next day is expected to draw up to 1.5 million.

A 2014 graduate of St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, Sisti said volunteering would allow her to give back to her school - run by the Jesuit order, the same one Pope Francis belongs to - and experience a once-in-a-lifetime event.

“No cheesesteaks or museums this trip,” she said.

Volunteers must be 18 or older, though the average age of those in the current pool is 50. About 6,000 are female. Many chose not to indicate their religious beliefs and organizers said they were not surprised by indications people of other religions are volunteering.

Catholics, but for people of all faith traditions,” said Ken Gavin, a spokesman for the archdiocese.

Every state is represented, though nearly half are coming from Pennsylvania, organizers said. New Jersey has the next biggest contingent. Perhaps the biggest surprise: almost 150 volunteers are traveling from Texas.

The pope will start his trip with stops in Washington, where he’ll meet with President Barack Obama and address a joint meeting of Congress. In New York, he will speak to the U.N. General Assembly, attend a multidenominational service at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum and celebrate Mass at Madison Square Garden.

NPD’s ‘Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over’ campaign begins Labor Day weekend The Labor Day weekend traditionally signals the end of summer and often involves one last road trip for the year with the family.

Regrettably, it also involves a high rate of drunk driving. Ac-

cording to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2013, the most recent year in which data is available, there were 424 crash fatalities nationwide over the three-day Labor Day

weekend. Almost half of those fatal crashes involved drivers who had been drinking and 27 percent of those drivers had a Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) of .15 or higher — nearly twice the legal limit

of .08. In the same time period, four people were killed in crashes in Iowa, 25 percent of those were alcohol related.

Law enforcement agencies across Iowa and the nation will be stepping up enforce-

four K-4 “neighborhood” elementary schools, and the Berg Complex divided into a grades 5-6 “intermediate” school to pair with the grades 7-8 Berg Middle School.

No action was taken on the policy at Monday’s meeting, as it was a discussion item only. The policy would need to be amended and read at two board meetings before it would become effective.

Policy 702.2 is somewhat driven by state law, but Newton has long had standards that end up providing transportation to more students than the state deems necessary. The state requires all K-8 students to be provided with the option of free transportation to their district-designated schools if they live two miles or farther from the campus, but Newton only requires a 1.5 mile distance.

Students who live outside the incorporated limits of Newton or Lambs Grove also receive free transportation. For students who are attending a school outside that zone, or whose address doesn’t fall within the distance guidelines, there is a $228 fee for transportation for 2016-17.

Board member Nat Clark said he is driving his children to a school because he both lives outside the 1.5-mile distance from a school, and doesn’t want to pay transportation fees to send his children to an elementary school across town. Another board member, Bill Perrenoud, said Monday’s first day of school had already led to a parent contacting him about the frustrations of having children scattered around the district.

The exception is that policy changes that lead to a student going to a different school — such as the closure of Emerson Hough as a facilitate interaction in a variety of ways.

In other business: • The board approved the Living Roadway Trust Fund Grant Agreement which gives the county $3,577.80 to go towards a Silt Fence Installer. The total price of the installer is $4,472.25 with $894.45 coming local contribution.

regular school and reconfiguration in 2010 — relinquish parents from having to pay fees. Parents affected by any upcoming 2016-17 boundary redrawing will not be asked to pay for transportation, if affected by the change.

Also, presumably, many students will live within a few blocks of one of the four K-4 “neighborhood” schools, within the 1.5-mile limit, and won’t need transportation in 2016-17.

Board member Donna Cook said the district should continue to transport all students who live in the district, free of charge. When asked

by Board President Sheri Benson if the mileage limits might need to be looked at as well, Cook said yes, noting that 1.49-mile walk on ice and snow might seem like a long trip for, say, a first-grader.

Callaghan said there are almost always transportation issues at the beginning of the school year. He said one of the buses used for Monday’s first day of school ended up with 76 children on it, and a second bus was needed, as buses are only built for a maximum of 72 students.

However, some Newton busing issues are more longstanding issues.

The district uses hubs as transfer points, and board member Robyn Friedman pointed out that some students have to change buses twice in order to reach their destinations.

The board might revisit the issue in the months ahead.

“I think it’s really important that we transport all students safely,” Cook said. “With the least amount of financial impact on the district as we can have, I’d like to see the board explore the ramifications of not charging any student for transportation.”

Wrigley Field is indeed a special place

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Aug. 26, 2015

The first time I walked into Baltimore’s Memorial Stadium, I knew I was someplace special — partly because no one was talking about it being a special place.

When I walked into Wrigley Field on Saturday, I knew I was once again in a special place — again, partly due to no one bragging about it being the greatest place on earth.

Everyone who’s gone there at least once knows what a hallowed place Wrigley Field became many years ago — long before arguments over millions of dollars and the ability to allow more generations of fans the same (or better) baseball experiences than those of their ancestors.

Saturday’s Chicago Cubs win over the Atlanta Braves not only gave the sellout crowd of 41,196 a lot to cheer about, but also gave newcomers like myself the chance to see what it looks like at Clark and Addison when the home team is victorious.

My hunger to visit Major League and other baseball parks

was fueled by my early visits to Baltimore. We lived near Washington, D.C., so getting to Baltimore was sort of a haul on a weeknight, and a rare treat — most of what I know about baseball was learned through the voice of Jon Miller during his Oriole radio days.

From the hedges in center field, to Earl Weaver’s tomato plants, to the way the area behind home plate seemed right next to the fans, Memorial had its magic. It only had a slightly larger seating capacity than Wrigley, and many similar design elements as the Chicago park, and it brought several generations of fans a lifetime of memories.

Known to some as the “The Old Gray Lady of 33rd Street,” and, for Baltimore Colts games, “The World’s Largest Outdoor Insane Asylum,” Memorial won over hearts and minds quickly.

It was demolished in 2002, just 48 years after it had been expanded as the St. Louis Browns moved to town to become the Orioles.

That’s a relatively short life span compared to Fenway Park, Tiger Stadium, the L.A. Coliseum or Wrigley (Yankee Stadium that opened in 2009 is on a different site than the one built in 1923).

Since 1914, the Cubs have been as much a part of Chicago and American culture as apple pie and domestically manufactured tires.

Now, I can see why; despite all the decades of change in equipment, technology and the way folks view the game, the field basically delivers the same product.

Many argue baseball was meant to be played in the daytime, under a natural sky, on real grass. That’s what the Cubs had on Saturday when they came from four runs down to beat the Braves — and the fans seemed to appreciate a come-from-behind win as much as they appreciated the sunny, 78-degree, minimal-wind day.

When I say minimal wind, I mean only about 15 mph on the playing surface. The flags seemed be pretty stiff with a wind going out toward left field, and there

were a combined six home runs hit in the game.

Four of those homers were hit by Cubs — the last two being eighth-inning, back-to-back shots by Miguel Montero and Jorge Soler that turned out to be the winning runs. The homer

by Montero caused the crowd to make noise in the concrete bowl that was unlike anything I’d ever heard in the other nine outdoor MLB stadiums I’ve visited.

My girlfriend, Jacqui, was seeing her first game at Wrigley as well, having seen the magic of the field only in Dave Matthews Band concerts years earlier. We were able to take her 11- and 8-year-old nieces to the famed venue as well.

The trip was also special because we used the Red Line and to get to Wrigley — using the same train tracks that have taken millions of other fans to this sacred space.

Josh Duggar and the nasty left

Letter to the Editor

Vote Cantu for school board

Don Poynter Newton I am endorsing Josh Cantu for the Newton School Board.

As chair of the Newton Planning and Zoning Commission, I’ve served with Josh for the past six years. The commission deals with complex zoning laws and makes decisions that have long-lasting impact on Newton and its citizens. I am always

impressed with Josh’s keen intelligence and ability to define core issues. He asks incisive questions and responds with solutions that are thought out, clear and decisive. These are talents that we need on the school board.

I served on the Newton School Board for 11 years, including two as president. It’s apparent that Josh understands the role of the board and the educational challenges that Newton faces. Josh and his wife, Katie,

have two children and represent the future of our schools.

While a school board member, I got to know Katie through her leadership in environmental education. As a partner, she adds a dimension to Josh’s qualifications. Newton continues to evolve as a community, and our schools need the kind of leadership and ability that Josh Cantu brings to the table. Please join me and support great schools in Newton.

Last week, Internet criminals responsible for hacking the adultery website Ashley Madison released full records of those w h o registered to By Ben Shapiro use the service. The media began perusing the list — and naturally, the first major name to hit the media was Josh Duggar. The media busted Duggar several months ago, too, when they released information that the former “19 Kids and Counting” reality star had molested children as a teenager.

What makes Duggar’s infidelity noteworthy? The fact that he purported to be a religious Christian. In his adulthood, Duggar became executive director of Family Research Council Action, the legislative wing of the traditional family values promoting Family Research Council. He spoke frequently about traditional morality and traditional marriage.

The left media finds Duggar’s hypocrisy on sexual morality absolutely delicious. The execrable Dan Savage, supposed anti-bullying icon, said that while he generally opposed “outing” adulterers from Ashley Madison — after all, adultery is a natural part of marriage, according to doorknob-licking Savage — that standard doesn’t apply to advocates of Judeo-Christian morality.

Savage wrote, “I feel bad for everyone who has been outed by the Ashley Madison hackers — everyone except Josh Duggar. ... Duggar — demagogue, liar, political operative — was a legitimate target for outing.” Why? Because, Savage stated, quoting Evan Hurst of Won-

kette, “he tried to hurt lots of people, because of how they have sex, which is why it is 100 percent A-OK to take this information and use it to grind that arrogant, fundamentalist pr---’s nuts into a fine powder so that we may snort it up and trip holy karmic balls.”

Delightful.

One of the great problems with modern American political and moral discussion lies in our hatred for hypocrisy above all other sins.

Adultery, according to Savage and his anti-moral moralists, isn’t a sin; rather, preaching against adultery and then failing your own standard is the great sin.

But that makes all standards irrelevant.

This logic sets up a perverse moral system whereby those without standards freely pursue whatever activities they choose, while those with standards are destroyed for their sins. The result: rational people choose to embrace amorality, secure in the knowledge that without standards, they will never be held to account.

Bill Clinton can allegedly rape a woman and sexually harass several others, and he will never feel the wrath of the left: he does not promote sexual decency. But Newt Gingrich will never hear the end of his affair with Callista Bisek because he had the temerity to question Clinton’s sexual peccadillos in the Oval Office.

The war on hypocrites isn’t a war on sin: it’s a war on standards. Josh Duggar may be an evil human being, but his evil springs not from the standards he attempted to preach, but from his failure to meet those standards.

The left’s backward obsession with Duggar shows their true hypocrisy: They violate all of their own standards in order to target someone with a different set of values.

Wife in loveless marriage longs for intimate romance

DEAR ABBY: The wedding night I had dreamed about forever was supposed to be the most romantic and amazing of my life with the one person I can’t live without. Instead, it was the most humiliating experience I have ever had. I dressed in a beautiful negligee, and my husband didn’t even take a second look at me. I was so embarrassed, I rolled over and pretended to fall asleep. That was my big night, the one night I’ll never get again.

This same man brags about the sexual encounters he had with his ex-wife, cyber sex and his 13-hour sexathon.

When I try to touch him, he seems repulsed and pulls away. My heart can’t take the never-ending rejection and the nights of crying because I don’t know what I have done wrong.

The sad thing is, I’m pretty sure he has never even noticed. Even an intimate kiss would be enough for me now. I dream of a man who loves me so much he stares at me from across the room, who can’t wait to get his hands on me even if it’s just for a second.

Unfortunately, that’s not my marriage.

Don’t I deserve happiness? And will this ever change? — UNTOUCHED IN TEXAS DEAR UNTOUCHED: Of course you deserve happiness. But nothing will change until you start asking questions and demand answers.

The only thing you have done “wrong” is to have tolerated the status quo.

Has it occurred to you that your husband has been lying to you about his sexual exploits? He may be impotent, gay, or so hooked on cyber porn that there is nothing left for you. Make it your business to find out. Ask him.

And if he isn’t forthcoming, talk with his ex-wife. If your marriage was never consummated, you may be entitled to an annulment.

DEAR ABBY: Five years ago I was told by a fertility doctor that I can’t have children. Having a husband, children and a home in which we can build

memories and traditions were the only things I ever wanted in life.

Since then I have tried to find meaning in life and things to fill the huge void that would have been filled by my dreams. I have not been successful. I have been on antidepressants, gone to counseling, volunteered, held a job, traveled, and confided in loved ones who, frankly, don’t want to hear about it any longer (and I don’t blame them). But I still feel completely empty.

There isn’t anything I look forward to in life. (I’m 45, divorced, most of my family has passed on, and I am an atheist.) I don’t know what else to do or where else to turn. Can you help me?

— BROKEN RECORD DEAR BROKEN: What immediately comes to mind is that feeling as you do about children, you might make a terrific foster parent or adoptive parent to an older child. There are many in the system who need loving, supportive homes.

However, if that doesn’t work for you, consider looking into volunteering to become a court-appointed advocate for abused and neglected children through a program called CASA. CASA volunteers make sure these vulnerable children don’t get lost in the legal system, and you might find that to be rewarding. You’ll find more information about this at casaforchildren.org.

1 Diocese punishes group that

let woman perform sacrament

DES MOINES — The Des Moines bishop has told a Des Moines Catholic group that it no longer may host Masses because it let a woman perform sacrament services in December.

Bishop Richard Pates in May ordered the Catholic Worker House to cease holding services after the diocese’s council of priests voted to strip the group of its authority to hold Mass. An article explaining the ruling appears in the August issue of the diocese’s newspaper.

GARNER — A retired Iowa State trooper is scheduled to be sentenced in October for possessing child pornography.

Court documents say 66-year-old David Hubbard, of Garner, last week pleaded guilty to one count in Hancock County District Court. He’d been charged with three counts of misdemeanor sexual exploitation of a minor. His sentencing is set for Oct. 20. Investigators say Hubbard possessed two photographs and one video, each involving a minor.

3 Lawmakers want investigation 2 Officials investigate death of woman found unresponsive

MAPLETON — Authorities are investigating the death of a woman found unresponsive in western Iowa.

Mapleton police say 53-year-old Brenda Dailey was found Monday morning inside a residence after officers received an emergency call about an unresponsive woman. Dailey was airlifted to a Sioux City hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

of abortion providers

DES MOINES — Republican lawmakers are asking the Iowa attorney general to investigate abortion providers in the state. Legislators delivered a letter Monday to Democratic Attorney General Tom Miller. The letter — signed by more than 40 representatives and senators — includes a series of detailed questions and asks Miller to determine how abortion providers dispose of aborted tissue and if any aborted fetal organs are sold or donated.

Sexual abuse trial postponed Newton Daily News A jury trial anticipated to begin Wednesday for a man charged with sexually abusing a 12-year-old Newton girl has been postponed.

Bradly Delk, 19, of Sioux City was charged with third-degree sexual abuse last summer following an investigation by the Newton Police Department.

Delk’s former attorney Richard Phelps II filed a motion to withdraw because “the relationship between counsel and the defendant and family has deteriorated to the point Delk where the defendant is requesting new counsel.�

In a letter to the judge, Delk requested “a new attorney because, he didn’t get my witnesses in, nor did he prepare for my trial in time.� Delk also claimed he only talked to Phelps once to share his side of the story.

District Court Judge Paul Huscher granted Phelps’ motion to withdraw and scheduled a new trial for Oct. 21. Online court records show Delks’ new attorney is Gerald Feuerhelm.

Delk is accused of sexually assaulting the victim at her Newton home in September 2013 while he was staying the night. He was charged on Aug. 13, 2014 for the alleged crime.

Third-degree sexual abuse is a Class C felony and is punishable by up to 10 years in prison with a $10,000 fine.

Iowa board gets 3,700 objections on proposed oil pipeline The Associated Press DES MOINES — Among the top concerns about a proposed oil pipeline across Iowa is whether a private company should be able to access private land for its construction, according to a state board that says it’s received roughly 3,700 objections to the project.

The Iowa Utilities Board said in a report filed Friday that the objections started coming in electronically shortly after plans for the pipeline became public in November. The total includes submissions through the end of July, though the board is still accepting them.

Among the top objections, the board said, was the request for eminent domain rights by Dakota Access LLC. That would allow the company to use private land for the pipeline’s construction despite opposition from landowners. Critics argue that such access should be limited to public utilities that serve a public purpose.

The pipeline would transport crude oil daily from North Dakota through South Dakota and Iowa to a distribution center in Illinois. The Iowa Utilities Board is expected to rule on the pipeline’s future before the end of the year.

Vicki Granado, a spokeswoman for Dakota Access, said Monday the company appreciates the “wide ranging� support for the project. When asked about concerns over eminent domain, she reiterated that Dakota Access is in discussions with landowners over voluntary easements, and the company is pleased with the number of agreements already in place.

The board also received about 560 letters of support for the pipeline, with the potential jobs generated from the pipeline’s construction among the top reasons for it. “We demand, and deliver, a safe workplace. We are committed to operating with minimal disruption ... to landowners. And most importantly, we want this project done right, because we live here too,� read one letter of support that the board said was signed

Trump starts new media feud with Univision anchor Ramos The Associated Press DUBUQUE — Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has opened up a new media feud, taking on another popular TV news personality even as his appearances continue to draw big ratings.

Trump engaged in a prolonged confrontation Tuesday with Jorge Ramos, the Miami-based anchor for Univision, during a news conference in Dubuque, Iowa.

Ramos stood and began to ask Trump about his immigration proposal, which includes ending

automatic citizenship for infants born in the United States to parents in the country illegally.

As Ramos began to speak, Trump interrupted him, saying he hadn’t called on Ramos before repeatedly telling him to “sit down� and then saying, “Go back to Univision.�

As one of Trump’s security detail approached Ramos, the anchor continued to speak, saying: “You cannot deport 11 million people.� Ramos was referring to Trump’s proposal to deport all people in the country illegally before allowing some of them to return.

As he was taken from the room, Ramos said, “You cannot build a 1,900-mile wall,� another proposal in Trump’s plan.

Moments later, Trump justified Ramos’ removal, saying: “He just stands up and starts screaming. Maybe he’s at fault also.�

In an interview on ABC’s “Good Morning America�

Wednesday morning, Ramos said he was not expecting to be tossed from the news conference. “Never in my life — and I’ve been a journalist for more than 30 years — have I been thrown out of a press conference,� he said.

by a member of an Iowa local of Laborers’ International Union of North America.

Other reasons people cited for opposing the project included the pipeline’s potential impact on the environment. “Spills on land would degrade soil quality and projected yields for farmers,� said one letter written in March.

There were requests for an environmental impact study, though the board noted that such a study was not required to secure a permit to build a pipeline in Iowa.

An italicized portion from Don Stursma, head of safety and engineering for the board, recommended that Dakota Access file documentation on the status of any permits required from environmental agencies.

The report said the objections include more than 2,600 statements submitted in July by several groups. There were also submissions from students at Brody Middle School in Des Moines; 37 objecting to the project and 11 supporting it.

Johnson County eyes minimum wage hike IOWA CITY (AP) — Johnson County leaders appear set to approve a minimum wage increase, but the county’s largest employer may not be subject to the pay hike.

University of Iowa spokeswoman Jeneane Beck said the UI doesn’t have a position on the proposal, but because the institution is a state agency, university attorneys believe such a rule wouldn’t apply to the school.

Beck said if the ordinance is adopted, the university will seek an opinion from the state Attorney General’s office on the matter.

A majority of the county Board of Supervisors support a measure calling for raising the minimum wage from $7.25 an hour to $8.20 on Nov. 1 in the county.

It would be raised again to $9.15 on May 1, 2016 and then to $10.10 on Jan. 1, 2017. The measure could be approved as early as next month.

Some legal and economic experts say the question of whether the ordinance would apply to the university is, at best, uncertain.

Cardinals win two, take fourth in own tournament

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Posting two victories in their first two matches of the 2015 season, Newton High’s Cardinals gained confidence Tuesday in the Newton Early Bird Volleyball Invitational. They went winless in their opening home tournament a year ago.

Newton powered past Knoxville’s Panthers 21-12, 21-5, then went three sets to claim a 21-18, 21-23, 15-8 win over Carlisle’s Wildcats.

The Cardinals had confidence facing Class 5A fourth-ranked Dowling, but had no answer for the Maroons’ big hitters losing 21-8, 21-13. Newton turned its attention to Class 4A 12th-ranked Adel-DeSoto-Minburn’s Tigers.

“The girls battled hard against ADM. They fought right to the final point,” Newton assistant coach Taylor Peska said. “It was a heartbreaker.”

Newton jumped out to a 4-2 lead on ADM before the Tigers roared back to gain a 10-8 edge. The Cardinals could not string points together serving the ball and dropped the first set, 21-16.

The Cardinals found themselves trailing the Tigers 9-5. They gained a point on defense, which put Kaytlin Ahn on the service line. Megan Pressgrove was up front working the net.

The combination helped produce four straight points.

A kill by Emily Fitzgerald put the Cardinals up 11-10 and regained the serve. Adrienne Bergman came off the bench to ring up three points. Newton led ADM 15-12 when Pressgrove served four consecutive points — two came on a kill and a block by Taylor Shipley.

Fitzgerald downed another kill to stop a run by the Tigers as Newton’s lead was 20-17. It was a defensive tip

by Shipley to give the Cardinals a 21-

18 win in the second set.

The third set, which was to go to 15 or a team must win by two, was the set that wouldn’t end. The Cardinals and Tigers went back and forth. Newton had the serve up 13-11 with Fran Lucas on the service line. She served one point, but the Tigers did not yield

the match point.

ADM had a three-point service run to make it 15-14, and Newton’s defense scored to tie the set. And that’s how it went until ADM gained a 20-19 advantage and served the final point. The Tigers won 21-16, 18-21 and 21-19.

Newton dropped a 21-13, 21-9 decision to Oskaloosa in the final match of the tournament.

“We were tired and stopped getting to where we needed to be on defense.

We stopped talking to each other on the court,” Peska said of the Oskaloosa match.

Dowling rolled to another Newton Early Bird Invitational title with a 5-0 mark. ADM finished 4-1, losing 217, 21-12 to Dowling. Oskaloosa went 3-2 followed by Newton at 2-3. Carlisle was 1-4 on the night and Knoxville went 0-5.

Newton opened the season without head coach Laura Sherratt, who gave birth to her daughter Thursday and is on maternity leave. Sherratt is expected to be back coaching the team this season.

Lucas led the Cardinals at the service line with 25 points and four ace serves. Ahn served up 18 points and had two ace serves. Shipley had 17 service points and two aces while Pressgrove served for 12 points and and two aces.

Fitzgerald served for 10 points and had four aces. Bergman had seven points and one ace serve.

“We served well throughout the tournament,” Peska said. “We were giving them their zones and they were putting the serves where we wanted them. We started out well tonight.

The girls were positive and upbeat and playing as a team. They were fun to watch.”

When Newton faced Dowling, Peska said Dowling had very good hitters. She said the Maroon hitters were able to place the ball right where the Cardinals weren’t.

The Cardinals had good net play by Pressgrove, Ahn, Shipley, Fitzgerald and Morgan Allen.

Hedrick sets two more records in NCMP’s win over Linn-Mar

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News It doesn’t take a swim fan long to find Samantha Hedrick’s name on the Newton-Colfax-Mingo-Pella record board inside the Newton YMCA pool.

Hedrick is all over the board and one of the most elite swimmers to ever wear the Aquagirl swimsuit.

Tuesday, in NCMP’s season opener, Hedrick put her name on one more board and bettered one of her own previous records during the Aquagirls’ 105-65 win over the Lions, who placed at last year’s state meet.

Hedrick won two individual races and was a part of two relay victories and Sydney Jenkins won two individual races and joined Hedrick on the winning 400-meter freestyle relay.

The Aquagirls won eight events overall and went 1-2 in the 200 freestyle, 1-2-3 in the 100 butterfly, 1-2 in the 100 freestyle and 1-3 in both the 100 breaststroke and backstroke.

“They had a lot of good races. This team loves to race, and I love for them to race,” NCMP coach Sarah Patterson said. “The Linn-Mar girls were not backing down, that’s for sure. Our girls are super excited, and the times for the first meet of the year were good.”

Hedrick bettered her own school record in the 200 freestyle when she hit the wall in 2 minutes, 9.24 seconds. She set that mark last year with a time of 2:11.57.

Hedrick had the school record in the 100-yard butterfly but added her name to the 100-meter butterfly when she broke the time Hannah Scotton recorded last season. Hedrick crossed the line Tuesday in 1:04.15.

Breaking one of her friend’s records was bittersweet for Hedrick.

“It feels pretty good. We’ve been training really hard at practice,” Hedrick said. “Hannah is one of my closest friends, and it was fun watching her last year and learning from her. It’s kind of sentimental, and I miss her swimming with me.”

Jenkins’ two individual wins came in the 50 freestyle and 100 backstroke.

She hit the wall in 29.76 seconds and 1:14.20, respectively.

The other two individual wins came from Madeline Webb and Lindsey Blommers. Webb won the 100

Hedrick, Jenkins and Webb were joined by Elizabeth Myers in winning the 400 freestyle relay in 4:19.79. Myers also was second in the 100 freestyle and stood out to Patterson as a senior ready to put a positive cap on her swimming career.

“She’s a little powerhouse who wants to have an amazing senior year,” Patterson said. “She’s kind of quiet and goes under the radar, but she put herself on the map tonight.”

The eighth win of the night came in the 200 freestyle relay. That foursome included Alexis Stout, Webb, Hannah Rhoads and Hedrick and they hit the wall in 1:56.86.

Hawkeyes turns to Myers to replace Scherff IOWA CITY (AP) — The public debut for Boone Myers as Iowa’s starting left tackle was largely a disaster.

Fortunately for the Hawkeyes, it appears to have been just a rare bad day for the youngster set to replace Outland Trophy winner Brandon Scherff.

Myers looked nowhere near ready to take over for the fifth overall pick in the recent NFL Draft after a shaky workout performance earlier this month at Kinnick Stadium.

But Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz remains high on Myers, who has held onto the starting job as Iowa prepares for its opener against Illinois State on Sept. 5.

“He’s done a lot of good things too, and he’s won a lot of battles. It’s ironic, because that week he made progress. It was really clear to me that he was really improving,” Ferentz said. “It didn’t show up that Saturday. But that’s part of the experience.”

Myers isn’t the only tackle Iowa will need to be gameready in less than two weeks.

The Hawkeyes are hoping that Myers and fellow sophomore Ike Boettger can replace two longtime starters who were the bright spots for an inconsistent offense.

Myers began his career as a walk-on after starring as a tight end and defensive end in

Troy Hyde/Daily News The Iowa football team will turn to sophomore Boone Myers to follow NFL first-round draft pick Brandon Scherff this season.

high school. But he impressed the coaching staff enough to earn a leadership award while redshirting in 2013, and the Hawkeyes put Myers on scholarship prior to last season.

Simply earning the starting left tackle job at Iowa is a sign

that the coaching staff truly believes in his abilities.

Iowa has had four left tackles — Scherff, Riley Reiff, Bryan Bulaga and Robert Gallery — taken in the first round of the NFL draft since 2004.

“He’s not replacing Bran-

don. He’s following Brandon, and to replace Brandon Scherff, who was one of the best players to ever play at this university, that’s totally off the radar. What he has to worry about is just being the best he can be. I personally think he’s going to be a pretty good player,” Ferentz said.

Boettger, like Myers, is an Iowa kid who played everywhere in high school and has spent the last two years bulking up. Boettger was a tight end, quarterback, wide receiver and defensive back at Cedar Falls High, but after a redshirt season and another spent as a backup he’s now at 6-foot-6 and 300 pounds.

Boettger is penciled in as the starting right tackle. Junior Cole Croston is expected to spell the two youngsters as the first tackle off the bench.

Perhaps the surprise of the offseason has been freshman James Daniels, the rare firstyear offensive lineman who could start for Iowa.

Daniels began his career in the spring semester, and after roughly 30 practices he has already forced the coaching staff to find ways to get him on the field.

“He’s clearly doing better than you’d expect a first-year guy (to do),” Ferentz said. “He looks pretty comfortable with the first two groups, so we’ll just see how it goes.”

IndyCar heads to finale reeling from loss of Wilson PCM netters begin season 0-4

By Jenna Fryer AP Auto Racing Writer When Tony Kanaan arrived home following the IndyCar race at Pocono Raceway, his wife asked him why he continued to race in a series that has such high risk.

Justin Wilson had been airlifted out of the track earlier that day after being hit in the head with a piece of debris from another car. He was in a coma, fighting for his life, and Kanaan’s wife was one of many who wondered why the drivers were putting their lives on the line week after week. Lauren Kanaan pointed out that her husband had won the Indianapolis 500, accomplished all of his goals, and earned a very nice living in 18 years of American open-wheel racing.

His answer was simple.

“No one puts a gun to our heads and makes us do this,” Kanaan said. “We’re not rich, but we certainly won’t starve if I don’t do this. But I do it because I can’t live without it.”

That’s the mentality of drivers, and none put them-

selves in as much danger as they do in the IndyCar Series.

Wilson died Monday night from his injuries, just four years after Dan Wheldon was killed in the IndyCar season finale in a horrific crash.

Wilson’s death from what by all accounts was simply a fluke accident has again thrust the series into the spotlight for all the wrong reasons, and it comes as IndyCar heads into Sunday’s season finale looking to crown a new champion.

Six drivers are eligible for the title, including points leader Juan Pablo Montoya, who returned to IndyCar last season after stints in NASCAR and Formula One. His comeback year has included a second win in the Indianapolis 500, 15 years after his first victory.

Montoya takes a 34-point lead into Sonoma, California, over Graham Rahal, an American having a breakout year. He has two wins driving for his father’s race team and seeks to give the Rahal name its first title since his father’s 1992 championship.

All that could be overshadowed by Wilson’s death in a year IndyCar has seemingly bounced from one crisis to another.

IndyCar had to cancel its opener in Brazil over a promoter issue. The season began with a good race in Florida, but it was marred by the debut of the cars’ new aerodynamic bodykits, which proved too brittle for even the slightest contact.

The streets of St. Petersburg were littered with broken parts and pieces, and a chunk of debris sailed over the grandstands and struck a pedestrian.

IndyCar required Honda and Chevrolet to make structural upgrades.

Two weeks later, the inaugural race in New Orleans was a rainy, caution-filled train wreck. And the lead-up to the showcase Indianapolis 500 was marred by three accidents in which cars went airborne, and a fourth incident in which James Hinchcliffe nearly bled to death when his leg was punctured by a broken piece of a crashed car.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News GRIMES — The Krystal Ehn era at Prairie City-Monroe got off to a bumpy start Tuesday.

The Mustang volleyball team lost all four of their matches at the Dallas Center-Grimes Invitational and PCM managed only one game win.

PCM lost 21-10, 21-9 to Algona, 21-9, 21-12 to Nodaway Valley, 21-8, 21-8 to Southeast Polk and dropped a 21-18, 17-21, 15-8 match to Des Moines Roosevelt.

The Mustangs (0-4) got 12 assists from Tatum Ne-

armyer and nine from Kayla Jennings. Ashley Van Gorp was credited with the team’s only kill and she also had two digs. Katie Vande Wall added three digs and one ace.

PCM was 17-of-21 in serves.

The school announced Tuesday morning that PCM won’t play in the BGM Tournament on Thursday as originally scheduled.

The Mustangs return to action at 8 a.m. Saturday at the Bondurant-Farrar Invitational.

Astrograph

The Capricorn moon is a performance coach, a project manager and, at times, a ruthless dictator. This is the lunar influence of “whatever it takes to get the job done.” The Capricorn moon urges us to take full responsibility for what really is ours to handle and then either delegate the rest or leave it to the rightful owner.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 26). You’re a rebel this year, pushing boundaries in the most creative ways. September and March will bring a financial bonus. In October, you will earn the cooperation of a group, and your influence will grow with every project. November sees you laughing with

the one with whom you share a special chemistry. Taurus and Capricorn people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 40, 29, 1, 24 and 16.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A “who-done-it” situation arises.

Note that the innocent have a clear conscience, and so it’s easier for them to remain calm when accused. Also, it’s easier for them to apologize because of their lack of attachment to the deed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your mind is alive with images taken from the outside world, some of which do not apply to you in the way the advertisers are trying to make you believe

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Marvelous strategies and ingenious solutions are part of the fun. Note that the answers don’t always have to come from you. You’ll enjoy trying it someone else’s way, even if it doesn’t turn out to be right.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’ll employ that wide range of social and technical skills to maneuver through the increasing pressures of the day. Keep in mind that the only reason you’re being challenged like this is that you can handle it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You avoid talking about problems for fear the focus will make

things worse. However, you need to identify the exact sticking point. Once you do, you can settle on the improvement that would most help you and focus there.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Those of superior character are often well versed in the fine art of finding something to like about an unlikeable situation.

The secret is creativity and focus. If you can master this, you can do anything.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Be proud of what you’ve done in the name of a paycheck, and mentally account for all of it.

The odd, arduous or distasteful tasks you handled in the past prepared you for the dreamy job in your near future.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’ve been learning differently lately, picking a bit here, there and everywhere, perhaps unsure of what it’s all leading to. The whole picture comes together today, and you’ll understand why recent lessons were necessary.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you’re feeling worried, it’s because you’re living in a time other than the present.

Bring yourself to the current moment. It’s the only moment in which you can do what needs doing.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The things you do just for you will affect others in ways you can’t foresee, and so be sure that you really believe in your choice. Would you make

the same choice if you knew you were doing it on camera for millions to see?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You know what’s going on.

You’re in step with the trends, hip to the buzzwords and in sync with the prevailing style.

The best part is that you don’t even have to show off to profit from all this savvy.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Your thoughts link together like a railroad. All it takes is one railroad switch to head you in an entirely different direction. Today is for installing the thought switch that will get you to a brand-new location.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Celebrating a block at the net are members of the Newton High volleyball team. The Cardinals got 2015 underway at home in the Newton Early Bird Volleyball Invitational with two match wins. They lost the next three Tuesday night, finishing fourth in the tournament. A year ago, Newton went 0-5 in its home opening tournament.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Coming off the Newton bench, Adrienne Bergman (14) serves for the Cardinals. Bergman served seven points during the five matches Tuesday.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’s Kaytlin Ahn (8) hits the ball back across the net at an angle to get it past Sydney Bertman (3) of Adel-DeSoto-Minburn. The Cardinals pushed the Class 4A 12th-ranked Tigers to the brink losing in three sets at Tuesday’s NHS Early Bird Volleyball Invitational.

and had one solo block and 10 assisted block.

Ahn racked up 23 kills with two solo blocks and two assisted blocks at the net.

Fitzgerald downed eight kills and had three block assists while Shipley had six kills and two assisted blocks. Allen connected on two kills and had one solo block and two assisted blocks. Allison Ergenbright had an assisted block.

Pressgrove was credited with 32 set assists.

Shipley had nine set assists while Carter Lee and Stephanie Hoebelheinrich each had one set assist.

Lucas put up 36 digs in the five matches, which included 17 against ADM. Ahn had 13 digs followed

by Shipley with 12 digs and Audrey Lucas with eight. Fitzgerald and Hoebelheinrich each had two digs and Lee had one dig.

“We had key players doing their jobs well until the final match. We just couldn’t put it together against Oskaloosa,” Peska said.

“We have to work on keeping our communication going on the court and moving well defensively.”

Peska along with assistant coaches Kristina McKnew and Michaela Wood shared the coaching duties for the night. The varsity plays in the ADM tournament Sept. 3.

Newton’s freshmen host a tournament Thursday.

NCMP: Aquagirls collect eight first-place finishes in triumph of Linn-Mar Lions Continued from Page 1B In the 200 individual medley, Rhoads was runner-up followed by Sierra Griffith and Sarah Prendergast in third and fourth, respectively.

Stout was second behind Hedrick in the 100 butterfly and Emily Miller made it a clean sweep at the top with a third-place tally.

Kaelee Knoll was third in the 100 backstroke, Prendergast was third in the 400 freestyle and Griffith and Rhoads made it a 1-3-4 finish in the 100 breaststroke.

The runner-ups in the 400 freestyle relay were the NCMP foursome of Prendergast, Jessica Zahn, Knoll and Miller.

Finishing second in the 200 medley relay was Jenkins, Griffith, Rhoads and Stout, and the third-place team included Knoll, Blommers, Miller and Prendergast.

Linn-Mar did not have two of its best swimmers from last year’s fifth-place finish at the state meet, but the Lions still pose a formidable challenge ,and the Aquagirls passed it with flying colors.

“We had a better mindset this year than we did last year,”

Hedrick said. “We knew they were really good last year. We thought they’d still be good this year, but we also knew we had a better chance to win.”

The only thing that went wrong for the Aquagirls was a few over swims.

But that’s not necessarily a bad thing at this point in the season.

“They were too excited and maybe had to fight the water more then they worked with the water,” Patterson said. “If that’s the worst problem we have, I am not going to complain. That’s just a matter of just relaxing and having a little bit of fun.”

The NCMP junior varsity won eight events and defeated Linn-Mar, 107-61. Individual wins came from Zahn (200 freestyle), Blommers (2000 IM), Lakin Jenkins (100 freestyle), Alex Inskeep (400 freestyle), Julie Prime (100 backstroke) and Alexis DeVries (100 breaststroke).

The Aquagirls also won the 200 medley relay and 200 freestyle relay and went 2-3-4 in the 400 freestyle relay.
