Santorum talks jobs, health care, higher ed in Newton Republican presidential candidate held round-table discussion at NDC

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News “The winner of any presidential election is always the best communicator,” former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum said during a round-table discussion on Monday in Newton.

Santorum led a talk about economic development at the Newton Development Corporation’s offices, locat-

ed in the Des Moines Area Community College Newton Campus building. His appearance made Jasper the 97th county he’s visited during his campaign as part of his attempt to reach all 99 Iowa counties in his quest for the 2016 Republican presidential nomination.

Santorum, a former Congressman from Pennsylvania and the winner of the 2012 Iowa

Republican caucus, finished second in delegates to eventual nominee, even though he dropped out of the race in April of that year.

He hasn’t drawn high numbers in the polls so far in 2015, but he said it’s a long march to the Feb. 1 caucus, and many twists and turns can still be ahead.

Newton woman pleads guilty to sexually abusing teen

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Over the past decade, the Newton Municipal Airport has been a vital business tool for the City of Newton as well as for companies looking to potentially expand their businesses into the town. From the Iowa Speedway to corporations that helped fill the Maytag void, many used the airport as a third exit to the city and continue to use it to conduct daily business.

Newton Airport helps Iowa Speedway, local businesses achieve

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Editor’s Note: This is part two of a two-part series. Part one published in Monday’s Newton Daily News.

A first impression of Newton — that is what the Newton Municipal Airport is for many companies traveling to the city to potentially bring their business into the local economy.

Midland Aircraft Presi-

dent Ethan Nasalroad sees the airport as Newton’s third exit, and cannot think of a better place to open the door to the Nasalroad town.

“The airport, right now, gives a first impression to everybody. The past history of really being

Maytag based helped a lot in getting the current facilities, which now we use as the first impression of Newton,” Nasalroad said.

Never was that more important then when Maytag closed its doors in Newton, leaving an opening for new corporations to come into town.

“The timing worked out really well. In 2005, there were rumblings of Maytag being sold. Sure enough in

2006, they were sold, but about that same time we had the speedway coming in. It changed us because we moved an awful lot of fuel to Maytag as a company but the timing couldn’t have been better for both us, and the town in that the speedway comes into play and also the town is trying to attract business and they are bringing people in,” Nasalroad said.

A Newton woman faces up to 10 years in prison after pleading guilty on Monday to third-degree sexual abuse.

Tori M. Kaiser, 22, was charged in May after confessing to having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old male victim.

Kaiser was allowed by the victim’s father to act Kaiser as a caretaker, according to a police report. When she was charged she also admitted to providing the victim with alcohol and cigarettes.

She denied giving him marijuana and prescription medication, but admitted she had allowed him to use both in her apartment.

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

Kaiser is scheduled to be sentenced at the Jasper County Courthouse on Oct. 12.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Iowa bodies of water, such as this pond south of Newton in Jasper County, are susceptible to a blue-green algae that poses a health risk. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources recently sent out a statewide warning about blue-green algae, and why it should be avoided.

DNR warns against blue-green algae Department sent out record number of advisories

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The Iowa DNR recently sent out a statewide warning about blue-green algae and why it should be avoided. While it’s common for algae to appear more visible at this time of each summer, there have been more advisories issued in 2015 than ever before.

Mary Skopec is a the stream and monitoring coordinator for IOWATER, a division of the Iowa DNR that utilizes volunteers. She coordinates the beach monitoring program.

“We have seen a large number of blooms this year and set a record for the number of advisories, so we wanted to make people are aware of the issue,” Skopec said. “We don’t want to scare people, as this is a naturally occurring event. It happens every year in our lakes and rivers. We just want people to be aware that if the mycrocystins are present, it can cause problems for people or pets.”

All bodies of water in Iowa are susceptible to algae blooms, but waters that are nutrient-rich and stagnant are more likely to see blooms. Embayments or arms of lakes are vulnerable since the water there is generally more stagnant.

“The DNR generally issues a ‘seasonal precautionary’ press release in August to remind the public of the issues related to blue-green algae,” she said.

“We are also putting an emphasis on pet health as hunters gear up for bringing hunting dogs into waterbodies.”

When asked if any bodies of water or wetlands in or near Jasper County were at any different risk level than the rest of the state, Skopec said there isn’t really data that shows algae to be congregating in any one region.

“I wouldn’t say that we see a geographic pattern as much as certain lakes seem to be a bit more vulnerable,” Skopec said.

“Green Valley Lake (in Union County, north of Creston) and Black Hawk Lake (in Sac County, north of Carroll) have both had blooms most of the summer.”

The appearance can be a peagreen or blue-green color, but also might be reddish-brown.

It may appear with scum, foam or as a thick mat on the water surface. Blue-green algae can grow quickly and become very abundant in warm, shallow, undisturbed surface water that receives a lot of sunlight.

Skopec said blue-green algae can release mycrosystins in the water that can make people and pets ill.

“We recommend that if you are in an area where it’s visibly showing masses of algae or a blue-green paint color, you should avoid contact with the water and keep pets away from it,” Skopec said.

The main risk to humans

from microcystin is skin irritations and rashes, but if the water is swallowed or airborne droplets are inhaled during swimming, bathing or showering, symptoms could be worse.

Those would include headaches, nausea, abdominal pain, seizures, liver injury and respiratory problems.

People can take the following precautions to prevent health-related problems due to harmful algae blooms: • Don’t swim, water ski or boat in areas where the water is discolored or if there is foam, scum or mats of algae on the water.

• If you come in contact with water that might have a harmful algal bloom, rinse off with fresh water as soon as possible.

• Don’t let pets or livestock swim in or drink from areas where water is discolored, or if there is foam, scum or mats of algae on the water.

• Don’t let pets (especially dogs) lick the algae off their fur after swimming in scummy water.

• Don’t irrigate lawns or golf courses with pond water that looks scummy or has a bad odor.

• Don’t drink the water.

Boiling the water will not make it safe to drink.

Farmers commit 3.5M to water quality practices DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey announced Friday that $3.5 million in cost share funds to help farmers install nutrient reduction practices have been obligated to farmers in each of Iowa’s 99 counties. The practices that were eligible for this funding are cover crops, no-till or strip till, or using a nitrification inhibitor when applying fall fertilizer.

“Farmers continue to show they are willing to invest in practices focused on limiting nutrient loss and improving water quality. To consider that this program went from zero to more than 1,800 farmers over the past three years shows that farmers are committed to action and willing to invest in water quality,” Northey said.

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship received applications covering 187,000 acres from more than 1,800 different farmers seeking to participate in the program. Farmers in each of the 100 Soil and Water Conservation Districts across the state received funding.

Participants include 980 farmers using a practice for the first time and more than 830 past users that are trying cover crops again and are receiving a reduced-rate of cost share. The first-time users cover 79,000 acres of cover crops, 7,450 acres of nitrification inhibitor, 7,150 acres of no-till and 3,950- acres of strip-till. The past users will use cover crops on nearly 89,500 acres.

Farmers not already utilizing the practice were eligible cost share rate for cover crops of $25 per acre, $10 per acre for trying no-till or strip till and $3 per acre for using a nitrapyrin nitrification inhibitor when applying fall fertilizer. Farmers that had used cover crops in the past were eligible for $15 per acre in cost share.

Cost share was only available on up to 160 acres.

Local News Partners Continued from Page 1A “So between 2006 and 2008, we’re losing Maytag, we’re gaining the speedway, and the town is doing an awful lot of trying to promote and bring people in.”

Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small said the airport’s location was a benefit for the track from the beginning. NASCAR had seen success with having a close, regional airport at both Daytona and Talladega speedways and that success has only continued in Iowa.

“The first benefits I experienced were when I was coming out here in 2013 as a part of the NASCAR group.

We landed right behind the speedway, so it was very convenient for myself and some of my bosses,” Small said. “It has been successful at other airports, it has been successful for ours. Teams are able to fly in or fly out whether they are testing during the year or during the race weekends, making it very easy for transportation and accommodating them.”

The Iowa Speedway has brought a new kind of business to the airport, propelling them

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Sept. 1, 2015 | 3A

to learn how to manage a large influx of traffic in a short period of time.

“Three hundred and fifty five days a year we are a town of 15,000. Then we have to gear up to be one of the busiest airports in Iowa to handle the race traffic the other 10 days a year,” Nasalroad said.

Newton has become one of the favorite locations for the teams to visit, Nasalroad said. The work the staff puts into making the experience as smooth and seamless as possible has made it a stand out airport and one that has not gone unnoticed.

“It’s probably taken for granted by the teams now because they come and it is so easy, but what isn’t taken for granted is the overall hospitality. A lot of that has to do with coming into a nice airport that is well staffed, right in our backyard,” Small said.

Nasalroad said the busy race weekends keep him on his toes.

“It’s fun, we enjoy it. It is kind of crazy ... but we really enjoy seeing the race teams.

This is one of their favorite places to come. I’ve heard that four times this year. It makes us feel good, makes us want to do it better,” Nasalroad said.

“We try to live up to those expectations. When somebody gives you a compliment like that you want to do that good every time.”

The speedway is not the only new business that now calls Newton home. Local economic development leaders have been working hard to fill the jobs that were vacated

by Maytag, and the airport has been a vital part of that redevelopment.

“Having the airport really is a business tool and that is how a lot of these people look a their airplanes, as business tools,” Nasalroad said.

It is not an uncommon occurrence for a plane to land in Newton for a morning meeting and be in the air again in time to reach their next destination that afternoon.

“These are economic development tools, it’s business.

These companies can’t do what they do without a private aircraft. They can be in Newton, checking out a plant today, home that night in Dallas so the next day they can check out a plant in Indiana,” Nasalroad said.

Newton Development Corporation Executive Director Frank Liebl has seen the air-

port function as a vital part of bringing businesses in to look at the town first hand. With the ability to land corporate jets so close, it brings a level of convenience that not every city can offer.

“Having the type of airport we have in Newton is a great asset, on several occasions over the years we’ve had prospects we are trying to recruit land their corporate jet at the Newton Airport. It’s convenient for them and speaks to the quality of services we have available in Newton,” Liebl said. “The terminal is top notch and Ethan and his staff do a great job in making visitors feel welcome.”

Not being subject to the timing of airlines is a huge benefit for high-level decision makers at corporations throughout the country and the world.

“You can’t have your top guys who are very, very busy people spending eight hours a day in travel through the airlines,” Nasalroad said.

Layovers and missed flights could cost the companies money and that is where a private airplane or pilot can be extremely beneficial.

“We go all over. It’s a lot around the Midwest but every once it a while there is a trip

There were also about 12 members of the media at the round table.

Santorum began by talking about trade and technical training — a topic that has come up often in Iowa, he said — and how not all Americans need four-year degrees to be successful.

a major cooperate tax reform, which involves expensing nearly all overhead and a flat 20 percent tax rate with no exemptions, and calling for a massive scaling back of dependence on the federal government for maintaining roads and bridges.

“The (Interstate) Highway Trust Fund was established in 1956, and the system is built, but the fund is still around,” Santorum said. “We need to let states design and repair their own roads, instead of sticking to one federal template to be followed again and again.”

Santorum said there are four things the next president must accomplish.

“In addition to communicating well, a president must be able to build trust, must keep a civil tone, and must develop relationships,” he said.

Business has only been picking up at the Newton Airport. With the city continuing to attract companies to make a home in Newton and new business opportunities coming to the airport, Nasalroad sees the runways staying busy well into the future. There is one event that could come to the town and although there has been no official word, the challenge of managing flight traffic for a NASCAR cup race at the speedway is something Nasalroad hopes is in his future.

Keeping Me on My Toes

Her purple plane party

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Sept. 1, 2015

Another birthday party is in the books. My youngest turns 3 this week, and we celebrated her birthday Sunday with a purple airplane party.

For quite some time, my youngest has been able to spot airplanes in the sky. They can be super small and hardly visible and she will find them and scream, “Airplane!” She loves for things to fly around and talks about flying in the sky all of the time.

I decided to give her the choice of her party’s theme.

She could decide between Minnie Mouse, farm animals and airplanes. She picked airplanes both times I asked and since purple is her favorite color — and who doesn’t love a little alliteration — we started planning our purple plane party.

Finding decorations, favors or basically anything for

an airplane party proved to be very difficult. I ended up doing most things homemade with paper airplanes and balloons that formed clouds. I did find gummy planes, kazoos and suckers online to help round out the theme.

In order to help them kiddos “fly” around, the centerpiece of the party was an inflatable bounce house. The kids, and some adults, loved it, and it was definitely a hit to potentially be used a future parties.

I made some of her favorite foods with shake and bake chicken, macaroni and cheese, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, apples and grapes. I tried my hand at cake decorating, and although it wasn’t the masterpiece that my professional friend would have delivered, it covered the bases of being purple, sparkly and

pretty tasty.

Another activity I had for the kids was plane decorating and flying. I found foam, white airplanes that are about a foot long that they colored and put stickers on, then sent soaring all over the backyard.

Some even ending up flying in the bounce house and crashing there, as well.

My youngest loved everything, from watching the bounce house inflate (magic) to having friends come over and play and of course, opening her mountain of presents.

She had everyone cracking up when we started to sing “Happy Birthday” and she immediately blew out her candles without waiting until the end of the song.

Because her actual birthday isn’t until later this week, we saved one big surprise for the big day. Her and her sister

will be getting new kittens.

They both love to pretend to be cats and each have a play cat that meows and walks.

I hear a lot about what they would do with a cat and how cute and cuddly they are. I hope by getting two the kittens can grow up together and the girls will each have their own, saving the cats from being fought over.

The kittens will be mainly outdoors, living in a large shed or the garage when it is cold. They will have free reign over three acres full of trees, long grass, and I’m sure some tasty rodents that may end up on my doorstep.

But don’t tell the girls, because it is a surprise for the big day!

Letters to the Editor

Memorization won’t help student achievement Sue Atkinson Baxter The Iowa Department of Education is posting examples of new teaching methods that work with all learning styles for a concept-based curriculum. Why? The Iowa Assessments (even if they used a grade-level standard rather than the low 41st National Percentile Ranking) must be replaced because the Iowa-based educators writing the exams are unable to design a testing assessment for applied concepts — hence the reason for changing to the Smarter Balanced exams next year for grades 3-11.

Similarly, the Iowa-based ACT exams are under scrutiny by an increasing number of higher ed institutions around the country for their failure to test for applied concepts. Even though the ACT standards were raised this year, the Iowa base means they

Frustrated by IDOT plans, lack of local official’s involvement Michael Ware Baxter Crickets. That’s all hear from my Iowa House Rep. Dan Kelley, in regard to the IDOT Highway 330 redesign that is taking people’s land and pushing them from their homesteads. My friends and neighbors are going to lose their property and their elected representative can’t make the time to attend a meeting or get involved.

continue to use memorization rather than concepts.

Two examples of continued teaching deficiency would be: memorizing sight words and increasing the amount of reading in the mistaken belief this makes up for failure to effectively teach all five reading concepts. Unless the extra reading is about the five reading concepts so students can demonstrate their proficiency on concept-based exams, this is wasted time (just as memorizing sight words is a waste of time).

Concept-based exams will show the poor results of these methods. How many Iowa schools fail to show sufficient reading progress on the Annual Yearly Progress reports, and fail to connect this to the use of memorized sight words?

Decisions being made by schools for planning purposes should be influenced by: 1) the state-acknowledged poor quality of training in the teacher prep programs; 2) the type of exams used to assess the effectiveness of the methods (only con-

cept-based truly show student proficiencies); and 3) whether or not students continue to be profiled and scapegoated as excuses for poor performance of the delivery system (the number of Special Ed. students should decrease). The 2004 Manhattan Institute teachability report showed the improvement occurring when students are not profiled and scapegoated, but Iowa’s education system has rejected those findings (in spite of their success in other states and in countries out-educating us). No Child Left Behind only allows for 5 percent of student test scores not counting because, statistically, 95 percent of individuals have learning capacity within normal limits when a concept-based curriculum and effective teaching of concepts interact with all learning styles. Remember that the recent Annual Yearly Progress reports are based on the poor Iowa Assessments with their low proficiency standard that inflates results.

This whole scenario is really complex and we have to find away to address to the obvious safety concerns present. There have been numerous redesign submissions that took far less land from my neighbors. Why is the IDOT opting for the plan that consumes a vast amount of ground compared to the others?

The primary function of an Iowa House Representative is to provide a voice for their constituents. This is especially necessary when it comes to the David and Goliath scenario we see unfolding today with this IDOT/ Highway

330 debacle. I’ve seen my local mayor, current and former state senators, county supervisors, multiple law enforcement officers, and many other elected officials present for these meetings over the years, but never have I seen Dan Kelley.

Five public meetings since 2009. Seventy acres of easements to be gobbled up. Twelve landowners forever impacted. Two homes to be stripped from the owners and torn down. Dan Kelley is quiet again on the issues that his constituents are fighting all by themselves, and the silence is deafening.

When new reached our newsroom that a couple of television reporters were gunned down in Virginia, someb o d y made a joke.

R e porters pride t h e m - By Marc Dion selves o n what we inevitably call “gallows humor.”

Somebody HAD to make a joke, to live up to our self-anointed reputation for toughness. It was not a funny joke. Most jokes you have to reach for are not funny.

Reporters don’t engage in this kind of humor because we are journalists, not at all.

We joke about these things for the same reason anyone would.

Because the thing didn’t happen to us.

A reporter won’t joke when his wife gets breast cancer. A reporter won’t joke when her son is killed in a motorcycle accident. I’ve seen small-town sports writers moved, not to a joke, but to tears when the local football team loses the state championship.

I think what moved me about the deaths was what the two were covering at the time.

They were at the mall, doing a tourism story, talking to someone connected with the local chamber of commerce.

I’ve been a newspaper reporter for 32 years. I’ve covered that story. It’s a dog, a woofwoof, a piece of little to no interest to either me or the photographer with whom I am working. We know how to do it, and we do it well, because we’ve done it hundreds of times.

I work in Massachusetts. When the Patriots win a championship, I get sent out with a photographer to write

about sales of Patriots gear at the local mall.

The photographer and I talk to a couple of store employees. Then we wander around the store, waiting until we see someone buying a Patriots T-shirt. I get a quote. The photographer gets a picture. We do this three, maybe four times and then we go back to the office.

The average reporter, though he/she likes to pretend to have a certain toughness, will cover many more of these stories than murders. You go to the mall. You go to the press conference. You follow the candidate as she tours a local industry and explains her program for economic development. You go to church events and open house at the new high school.

You cover house fires, but the firefighters make sure you stay at a safe distance. You cover murders in bad neighborhoods, but you don’t have to be afraid, because there’s been a murder, so the street is infested with cops.

It’s a good job, as honest as transmission repair, and it’s what I know how to do. Most of the time, it’s not breaking the big story and it’s not investigative reporting. Most of the time, it’s a Water Commission meeting or a carnival at the Presbyterian Church.

In the language of print journalism it’s “the stuff on page three.”

We’re all proud of those reporters who die covering a war, as we should be. It’s a damned noble thing.

But, if you’re a real, working reporter, you’re also proud of the people who died covering the stuff on page three.

Woman becoming nun needs friend’s interest, not concern DEAR ABBY: I was best friends with “Joanne” after we met in middle school. She comes from a conservative Christian family and has three successful siblings. This has made her quirky, media-driven pursuits and city life a disappointment to her family. When we were teens and she learned that I was a straight ally for gay rights, she came out to me as a lesbian, but for years only I and a few close friends knew.

Once she was an adult and her family found out, they practically disowned her and made their disapproval and “shame” very clear.

Unfortunately, due to some family problems of my own, I moved away, and we communicated only periodically for the last couple of years until recently. I was shocked when she informed me that she is going to become a nun.

Abby, I have no problem with her faith (I attend an LGBT-friendly church), but I’m afraid Joanne is doing it for all the wrong reasons.

For the 15 years I have known her, she has been an open-minded, culture-loving social butterfly, and she doesn’t seem to have changed much personality-wise. Naturally, her family is thrilled with her decision because it means she will never date another woman or be a part of “that lifestyle.”

I know Joanne is an adult and these choices are hers to make, but I’m afraid she is being guilted into a life she will ultimately regret. How do I express my concerns to her without being offensive? — KATHY IN NEW YORK DEAR KATHY: Before you “express your concerns,” I think you should have enough respect for your friend’s intelligence to ask her what has prompted this life-changing decision, and what it will entail.

Will she be joining an order that

wears a habit? (Not all nuns do anymore.) Will she be taking a vow of silence and shutting herself off from the world for a life of prayer and contemplation, or will she be working to help underprivileged communities?

Does she plan to remain in the United States, or join an order like Mother Teresa’s in some other country?

If you show an interest rather than “concern,” I’m sure she will be glad to answer any questions you may have without becoming offended.

DEAR ABBY: I have recently been invited to my sister’s baby shower. The problem is I am a man.

My mother and sister think I am sexist for not wanting to go. I always thought this kind of thing was a women’s event. Are my mother and sister right? Am I being sexist? — NATHAN IN INDIANA DEAR NATHAN: You’re not necessarily sexist, but you are behind the times. Baby showers are no longer solely women’s events. In fact, because men are so much more actively involved in their little ones’ care than they used to be, it is becoming common for the showers to be co-ed affairs. (They’re called “Jack and Jill” showers.) I hope you won’t skip the celebration because I think you’d enjoy it.

1 Officials investigate explosion, fire at apartment near ISU

AMES — Authorities are investigating the cause of a small explosion and fire at an apartment complex near Iowa State University that injured one person.

The Ames Fire Department says firefighters arrived Monday afternoon at University Towers and discovered a small fire on the second floor. Smoke was reported throughout the stairwells of the 10-story building. The fire was extinguished a short time later.

DAYTON — A Dayton couple was reminded of just how close they live to Skillet Creek when the stream quickly rose due to heavy rainfall, flooding their home and prompting a rescue by an inflatable boat.

Jim and Shelley Garland say they’re thankful for the firefighters who helped them and their three dogs to safety last week from their three-story log cabin. “It happened so fast,” Shelley Garland said. “We were on the porch watching it rain, then the water came into the yard. It didn’t take but 5 or 10 minutes and it started washing our cars away.”

DES MOINES — Rick Perry’s cashstrapped presidential campaign is set to keep going in Iowa with just one paid staffer and some volunteers.

The former Texas governor’s senior Iowa strategist, Robert Haus, says the Republican campaign will have one paid operative for now. Haus will stay on in an unpaid capacity. Perry’s campaign has struggled with sluggish fundraising. Last week, Perry’s state chairman, Sam Clovis, left to work for Donald Trump.

Two die after being struck by train in Iowa MOUNT PLEASANT — Authorities say two people have died after being struck by a train in southeast Iowa. The Mount Pleasant Police Department says a Burlington Northern Rail train struck 31-year-old Thomas Riley and 39-year-old Lelania Gillon at a crossing Sunday morning. Riley, of Mount Pleasant, was pronounced dead at the scene. Gillon, also of Mount Pleasant, was taken to a hospital where she died overnight.

Email shows university’s ‘mandate’ for female track coach The Associated Press IOWA CITY — University of Iowa athletics department administrators ordered a female be hired over male candidates for an assistant track coaching job regardless of qualifications, an internal email from the head coach alleges.

Attorneys for a male coach who says he was illegally passed over portrayed the email — which the coach’s attorneys received last week as part of a lawsuit against the school— as a smoking gun that will help prove his gender discrimination allegations.

“It’s in writing. The administration said, ‘we want a female in that position’,” said Brooke Timmer, an attorney for Mike

Scott, now an assistant at Missouri State.

Timmer provided the June 4, 2013 email, which she had sought for nearly two years, exclusively to The Associated Press. In it, Head Coach Layne Anderson tells assistants that he had rewritten the position’s job description in a way to attract more female candidates after earlier searches failed.

“It is once again largely driven by the mandate from the administration to hire a female (qualified to them being optional -- but not to myself or Wiz),” Anderson wrote, referring to program director Larry Wieczorek.

Anderson noted that one “ideal” male candidate had already been rejected by the ad-

Man to serve probation for Newton stabbing

ministration.

The job description was changed to recruit a coach with expertise in distance running because “a greater number of qualified females” would exist, he wrote.

Any gender-based mandate would violate university policy and Iowa law, which bar discrimination in employment.

The university has denied discriminating against Scott.

University spokeswoman Jeneane Beck said that the other five paid staff members in the program then were men. She said it was important to attract candidates of both genders because track is a combined men and women’s team, adding that searches are sometimes delayed to improve a pool’s diversity.

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News A Des Moines man charged with the attempted murder of a Newton man will serve two years of probation after pleading guilty to a lesser charge on Monday.

Quentin A. Smith, 25, was charged in March after a Newton couple woke up to find their house guest, Smith, standing over them in the bedroom with a knife in his hand. A male victim fled the room and armed himself with a knife, but ultimately was stabbed by Smith in the arm and cut near his collarbone, according to a police report.

Smith admitted to stabbing the victim in the arm and believed he was stealing his Smith medication, police said.

Smith pleaded guilty to assault with a weapon, an aggravated misdemeanor. He was ordered to serve two years of probation and pay restitution in an amount not yet known to the court, along with additional court costs.

Local mayors challenge citizens to band together for PCM Food Pantry Newton Daily News Chad Alleger, mayor of Prairie City, Cliff Vos, mayor of Reasnor and Brian Briles, mayor of Monroe have issued a challenge to the citizens and businesses of their respective communities. During the month of September they are asking their communities to donate either 7,000 pounds of non-perishable food items, or the money to purchase the equivalent of at least that amount for the PCM Food Pantry.

The PCM Food Pantry serves the communities of Prairie City, Reasnor, Monroe, and the surrounding area. It is staffed entirely by volunteers and is located in the basement of the Monroe Presbyterian Church. Presbyterian Pastor Ann Johnson is the director of the food pantry.

The PCM Food Pantry

purchases annually between 15,000 and 20,000 pounds of food from the Food Bank of Iowa. Most of the food can be purchased for 14cents a pound. Many pounds of fresh fruit and vegetables from local gardens have been contributed to the food pantry this year as well.

The food pantry averages 150 distributions a month. In June of this year it had 182 distributions. Some families come weekly, while others come every two or three weeks or maybe only use it once or twice a year. The food pantry provides a valuable service as one in seven people living in Jasper County are food insecure and one in five children do not have enough to eat, according to the food pantry.

Non-perishable food items that the food pantry needs currently include: Hamburger and Tuna Helper, kids’ canned

food (Spaghetti-Os, Ravioli, Beef-a-Roni, etc.), hearty soups, canned chicken, Spam, instant potatoes or other boxed potato dishes, jelly, pancake mix and pancake syrup. The pantry will also accept personal care items such as shampoo, body wash, deodorant, toothpaste or cleaning products. If you would prefer to make a monetary contribution instead of food items, checks can be made out to PCM Food Pantry. If you give a check, please put Mayors’ Food Challenge in the memo line.

Ways to Donate: • Donation box locations in Prairie City will be at the Prairie City City Hall, Prairie City Library and Roberts Brothers.

• Donation box locations in Reasnor will be at Marilyn Walker’s house at 320 Third Street. To get there, take Broad Street to Third Street – her house is at the corner. Her

phone number is 641-7932264.

• Donation box locations in Monroe will be at Monroe City Hall, Leighton State Bank and Salon Essence.

Every contribution of non-perishable food, personal items or money will be kept and used locally. No con-

tribution is too small. This challenge represents a great opportunity for citizens and businesses in these communities to make a positive difference that can greatly benefit neighbors, friends and family members who could use a helping hand during their time of need.

Cuba Continued from Page 1A State Sen. Chaz Allen (D-Newton) said he is in favor of Senate Resolution 6, which supports the mission to Cuba and was passed by voice vote in March. He calls Portes the “secret weapon” in trade negotiations.

“That relationship could really help open some doors,” Allen said.

Smith said the same ingenuity that has helped Cubans keep 1950s American automobiles preserved and running is the same resolve that’s kept old farm equipment going.

The country has been able to export tobacco — most of us know at least something about Cuban cigars — but not as much as it will in the future, and it needs modern farm equipment and implements.

More importantly, Smith said, normalization will allow Cuba to borrow money from banks, allowing Cubans to construct better facilities.

Regarding Jasper County connections to the mission, Roger Zylstra, of Lynnville, is the president of the Iowa Corn Growers Association, which Smith says will be represented by at least one person traveling to Cuba. While, Jasper County businesses are not looking to see any direct impact from the October mission, Allen said there could be benefits for his district a short time later.

“I’ve talked to some producers who would liked to have gone, but the scheduling didn’t work out,” Allen said.

“We’ll be following this closely, and we’re excited to see what sorts of possibilities this opens up.”

The trip was originally scheduled for Aug. 21-27, but too many Cuban leaders were scheduled to be on vacation at that time, Smith said, so it was moved back to October. He said many government leaders took vacations in order to be back on duty for Pope Francis’s much-anticipated Sept.

19-22 visit to Cuba.

The change in date made it easier for some to travel to Cuba, while others — especially farmers who are in the middle of harvest season — won’t be able to get away the first week of October.

Smith said one of Cuba’s biggest needs is food, and its meat of choice seems to be pork. That’s where Iowa comes in, but it has competition in terms of other states and their offerings.

“New York, and of course, Florida, are trying to become trade centers as well,” Smith said. “It’s important for us to get over there fairly early, and make a case for Iowa.”

Some of the Iowa companies who have expressed at least some interest in the trip are food producers; Hawkeye Hotels, with Cuban travel to the U.S. in mind; and the Meskwa-

ki Settlement, which has an economic development branch that could help facilitate the sale of Cuban products such as cigars, rum and plantain in the Midwest.

Even though Cubans might not immediately have a lot of cash to spend in Iowa, improvements to their bank and credit situation should help grow industry and commerce, Sodders said. That will give both Cubans and Iowans not only more revenue, but an interest in each other’s homelands.

There are other assets of Cuba that haven’t gained widespread notoriety in the U.S. Sodders said Cuban doctors have developed a vaccine that helps prevent the types of diabetic ulcers that lead to amputations, but embargoes and very limited legal travel between the countries has kept the vaccine from becoming widely available in the U.S. Smith acknowledged there might be some red-tape and policy hurdles to conquer, but optimism involving Cuba is certainly high enough to get trade talks going, Smith said.

“Cubans are tough, proud people,” Smith said. “They learned how to survive for generations, despite an embargo. We are going over there knowing they will be open-minded but cautious.”

Aggressive serves get CMB off to good start

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s volleyball team has worked vigorously in the preseason on aggressive serving.

While the Raiders finished with 19 service errors, the aggressiveness paid off in a sweep of Saydel in Heart of Iowa Conference play Monday.

The home team recorded 20 aces and had little trouble with the Eagles in the season opener for both teams as the Raiders dominated play from the opening serve in a 25-15, 25-13, 25-13 win.

“We are stressing the aggressive serve. It’s getting to the point where if you give a team an easy serve, they will set it up and smash back at you,” CMB coach Scott Ranck said. “We want to take a little bit of that advantage away from them.”

The Raiders used a

strong service run by Bridget Hurley to pull away in the opening game. Hurley had three aces during a five-point spurt that pushed the Raiders’ lead to 12-5.

Saydel never got closer than six the rest of the way.

CMB (1-0 overall, 1-0 in HOIC play) got out quick in the second set, leading 8-2 following three aces in a fourpoint stretch by Bekah Pearson. Hurley then had a kill and back-toback aces to make it 14-5 later and the Raiders led by as many as 12 in the frame.

Pearson finished with a team-high seven aces and five kills, while Hurley had three kills, a team-high 14 digs and five aces.

“We were able to just brush off the serve errors because our energy was so high and we knew others would pick us up,” Pearson said.

RAIDERS | 2B

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s Kathleen Baldwin showed plenty of emotion and energy during the Raiders’ three-game sweep of Heart of Iowa Conference rival Saydel on Monday in Baxter. Baldwin finished with a team-high 16 assists in the win.

Big 12 coaches talk season openers, quarterbacks

By Stephen Hawkins AP Sports Writer Kansas State coach Bill Snyder knows which of his four quarterbacks will be the Wildcats’ new starter.

Snyder plans to name Jake Waters’ replacement during his campus news conference Tuesday.

Texas Tech’s Kliff Kingsbury is taking a different approach in revealing whether Davis Webb or Patrick Mahomes will be starting again.

The Red Raiders’ depth chart lists the quarterback as Webb or Mahomes after both started multiple games last season.

“They’ve had a great camp. ... Both guys deserve to be the starter,” Kingsbury said Monday during the first Big 12 coaches teleconference of the season.

When asked who would start Saturday against Sam Houston State, Kingsbury said one of them will “jog out there for the first snap, and that will be it.”

At K-State, three players emerged from the spring competing for the starting spot, and a junior college transfer joined the mix during preseason practice. Snyder said it was a competitive camp and that he has faith in all four quar terbacks.

Some more details from the first Big 12 coac hes’ call of the season: Second-ranked TCU, fourth-ranked Baylor and Oklahoma State don’t have to wait until Saturday to open the season, but all are on the road.

TCU is at Minnesota on Thursday, when coach Gary Patterson faces old friend and fellow rural Kansas native Jerry Kill. Oklahoma State plays Thursday at Central

Michigan, and Baylor goes to SMU on Friday.

While freshman running back Joshua Thomas is in line to play at Iowa State because of need, and “hasn’t disappointed,” coach Paul Rhoads said freshman Carson Epps is proba b l y m o r e impress i v e since he has gotten noticed among a talented group of receivers.

Freshman receiver Jovon Durante could have an early impact at West Virginia.

Coach Dana Holgorsen said Durante has outstanding speed and route-running ability. Durante also likely will be part of the return game.

Extra Points — Mason Rudolph made a quick impression as Oklahoma State’s starting quarter-

back the final three games last season, including a comeback victory over Oklahoma and a bowl win. But coach Mike Gundy warns there will still be some growing pains.

— Charlie Strong has a better feel and comfort level with his players going into year two at Texas — and the players better know their head coach. But the preparation level is much the same.

A year ago, it was North Texas in Strong’s debut. This season, it’s a Saturday night game at No. 11 Notre Dame.

— Bob Stoops is ready to see Oklahoma’s offense in Saturday’s opener against Akron. Stoops hired offensive coordinator Lincoln Riley to bring back the kind of Air Raid offense that the Sooners helped make popular in the Big 12.

— New Kansas coach David Beaty said the team’s confidence in new quarterback Montell Cozart is evidenced with him being elected a captain.

Cardinal JV runs past Knoxville

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Powered by its running game, Newton High’s junior varsity notched a 40-36 win Monday over visiting Knoxville at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

CMB’s future could be decided in latest school board election This past spring, the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter athletic family was on pins and needles because the athletic sharing agreement between the two school districts was put to another vote.

S o m e m e m b e r s By Troy Hyde of the Col- Newton Daily News lins-Maxwell com- Sports Writer mu n i t y think splitting the two school districts up and having individual sports programs is the way to go moving forward, but the school board voted to extend the sharing agreement for another two years.

Whether or not the sharing agreement goes beyond those two years could be decided at next week’s school board election.

The Collins-Maxwell community will vote on Sept. 8 to decide who serves on the school board for the upcoming term.

Three spots on the board are up for election, and a changing of the guard could ultimately result in the end of CMB as an athletic family.

Bryce Caple and Brad Plunkett are incumbents trying to remain on the board. Tony Sorenson will oppose Caple and Randy Pritchard is trying to snatch Plunkett’s spot. Jen Waters will be a new school board member as she is running unopposed for outgoing member Mark Huntrods’ seat.

As an outsider looking in and observing how the athletics have worked over the past several years, I don’t see a reason to split up CMB. The kids are happy. Most of the parents are happy. And the teams, for the most part, have seen plenty of success.

If it’s not broke, why is there a need to fix it?

It’s not certain that if Sorenson and Pritchard take over for Caple and/or Plunkett, that they will try to eliminate Collins-Maxwell’s sharing agreement with Baxter, but that is the belief among several community members who are pro-CMB. After all, the only way to end CMB as we know it, is to get on the board and do it yourself.

It’s pretty evident things have been tense in recent weeks and will continue to be tense until the polls close at 8 p.m. on Sept. 8.

I hope the people who are eligible to vote do so with the best interest for the kids in mind.

Baxter and Collins-Maxwell are in two different counties and the Newton Daily News primarily covers anything happening in Jasper County. That doesn’t mean I don’t care about the student-athletes at Collins-Maxwell.

In fact, I am not sure I would fare very well if CMB | 2B

Chicago Cubs’ Jake Arrieta tosses no-hitter against L.A. Dodgers LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jake Arrieta pitched the sixth no-hitter in the majors this season and second against the Los Angeles Dodgers in 10 days, leading the Chicago Cubs to a 2-0 victory Sunday night.

Arrieta (17-6) became the first 17game winner in the big leagues by throwing baseball’s third no-hitter in less than three weeks.

Astros right-hander Mike Fiers blanked the NL West-leading Dodgers 3-0 on Aug. 21. Los Angeles had never been no-hit twice in a season.

Arrieta struck out a season-high 12 — one off his career high — and walked one to help the Cubs snap a fourgame skid on the last night of their six-game West Coast trip. He finished August with a 6-0 record, tying Boston’s Joe Kelly as the only pitchers with that many wins in the month.

Day claims victory at The Barclays EDISON, N.J. (AP) — Jason Day powered and putted his way to another blowout against a world-class field Sunday at The Barclays.

Fresh off his first major at the PGA Championship, Day pulled away early and poured it on with three long birdie putts on the back nine at Plainfield. A birdie on the closing hole gave him an 8-under 62 for a six-shot victory over Henrik Stenson.

Day closed with a 6362 weekend and finished at 19-under 261. He won two weeks ago by three shots over Jordan Spieth with a record to par at 20-under 268.

The victory moves the 27-year-old Australian to the top of the FedEx Cup after the opening playoff event, assuring that Day will be among the top five who have a clear shot at the $10 million bonus at the Tour Championship.

Illinois fires football coach one week before opener CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — A week before the start of the football season, a difficult summer for the University of Illinois became chaotic as coach Tim Beckman was fired after an investigation found he tried to influence medical decisions and pressure players to play with injuries.

Beckman’s firing follows the unexpected resignations this month of the top two officials on campus, revelations that they’d used private emails accounts to avoid public scrutiny of school business, and a pair of lawsuits in which former women’s basketball and women’s soccer players claim they were mistreated by coaches.

And the rocky times may not be over: The investigation that led athletic director Mike Thomas — a defendant named in those lawsuits — to fire Beckman continues.

Thomas said Friday that he received some preliminary results of the investigation earlier this week, and despite timing he called “unfortunate,” saw enough to fire Beckman just before his fourth season started.

Raiders Continued from Page 1B The third and final game proved to the be the toughest for CMB. But Saydel’s effort wasn’t enough to extend the match.

The Raiders broke a 5-all tie with three Payge Jurgens aces and a Brianda Bane kill.

They went up 13-6, but Saydel (0-1, 0-1) rallied to within 1512. CMB dominated from that

CMB Continued from Page 1B someone gave me a quiz on where each student-athlete was from.

It doesn’t matter to me. They are all CMB athletes. And they should all be CMB athletes to you, too.

The school board elections are not the only thing on the agenda for Sept. 8. There also

“I was shocked and angry when I became aware of the preliminary firings,” Thomas said.

“Certainly that’s what led to me making this decision Beckman swiftly, before the final report became due.”

In a statement Friday evening, Beckman denied any wrongdoing and hinted that he might take legal action, calling the decision to fire him “a rush to judgment that confirms the university’s bad faith.”

“I firmly deny the implications in Mike’s statements that I took any action that was not in the best interests of the health, safety and well-being of my players,” Beckman said, noting that many of his players today indicated their support.

“I will vigorously defend both my reputation and my legal rights,” he added.

Beckman will not receive $3.1 million remaining on the

final two years of his original five-year contract, or the $743,000 buyout it includes.

Offensive coordinator Bill Cubit has been named interim coach.

The Illini open at home against Kent State Sept. 4.

The allegations against Beckman first surfaced on May 10, Mother’s Day, when former starting lineman Simon Cvijanovic claimed in a long series of messages on Twitter that the head coach and his staff had tried to shame him into playing hurt, and had misled him about medical procedures following a knee injury.

“All I can say right now is I think it’s a step in the right direction,” Cvijanovic told the AP by phone. “It seems like there’s more than just Beckman that needs to be held accountable.”

The university hired the Chicago law firm Franczek Radelet to investigate the allegations.

The university said Friday that the investigation found evidence of “efforts to deter injury reporting,” as well as

attempts to influence medical decisions “that pressured players to avoid or postpone medical treatment and continue playing.”

The investigation also found instances in which some players were “treated inappropriately with respect to whether they could remain on scholarship” in the spring semester of their senior year.

Thomas declined to discuss specifics or say how many players were involved in either of those findings.

So far, he said, no other coaches have been implicated, but he added he doesn’t know how much longer the investigation will last.

Thomas said the law firm had interviewed more than 90 people and reviewed 200,000 documents, along with a large volume of practice and game video from Beckman’s threeplus years in Champaign.

The athletic director said he had never seen or heard anything that indicated Beckman was treating players poorly. A number of players have supported Beckman.

point on, winning 10 of the next 11 points and cruising to the sweep.

The final stretch included two more aces by Pearson, a nifty tip that was pushed to the baseline by reserve Katie Camp and Jordynn Wesselink finished off the win with a final ace that just hit inside the back line.

“It’s a great way to start the year,” Ranck said. “We wanted to start strong and build momentum from there. They

were fired up and ready to play volleyball. We had great energy and great enthusiasm. It was a fun night.”

Bane led the team with six kills, while Kathleen Baldwin had 16 assists.

Toni Spencer, the libero, finished with 10 digs. Hurley was 18-of-20 in serves.

Pearson, a three-year starter, said the entire Raider squad was happy with their performance in the opener. Matching that level of play night in

and night out is where things could get challenging.

“We set the bar pretty high so now we have to go out and play well again tomorrow,” Pearson said.

The Raiders travel to Lynnville-Sully at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

It will be the season opener for the Hawks.

will be a bond vote.

The bond is for needed improvements to Collins-Maxwell schools. Included in the bond will be two science classrooms, four general classrooms, a new weight room a secured entry and updates to the heating and cooling. It is the fourth bond issue in five years, but there has not been improvements or updates made to the schools since 1976.

It sounds to me like there is no better time then now to

change that.

Speaking of CMB athletics, there was a mishap with the football statistics from Friday night’s win over West Marshall.

Junior quarterback Hunter McWhirter was injured in the first quarter and did not return.

Senior Nate Bishop took his spot and played the final three quarters, but the final statistics that were emailed to the Newton Daily News were inaccurate.

Blake Coughenour’s receiving touchdown in the first quarter was thrown by Bishop.

In the game, Bishop was 8-of15 for 67 yards with one touchdown and one interception.

McWhirter, who suffered an ankle injury, was 5-of-7 for 88 yards and a touchdown in limited action.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

It might be difficult to tell whether a person is making your life better or worse. Either way, rest assured that your skills are growing for having to interact in a certain way.

ings don’t always come at the end. Someone will save you when you’re right smack in the middle of a perilous task.

You’re no victim, but once in a while it’s nice to be saved.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You need a big challenge.

This is what gives your valor a chance to emerge. You’ll see the obstacle almost as soon as you get to work. This needs conquering, and the conqueror is you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). As you rise to great heights, you wonder whether it will last. You’ve seen this before. Yes, there will be a point at which things start sliding the opposite direction. Worry about it when you get there.

For now, enjoy your climb.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’re inclined to play by the rules, but you’ll also play seriously -- ruthlessly -- for keeps.

Your competitors don’t have a chance against you. Utilize your team. They really want to help.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
