One killed in two vehicle accident Monday

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News PRAIRIE CITY — An 83-year-old Hutchinson, Kan., woman sustained fatal injuries Monday night in a two vehicle accident southeast of Prairie City.

Geraldine Rietveld was

transported from the scene at the junction of old Highway 392 and Highway 163 to Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines by Prairie City ambulance where she was pronounced dead. The accident happened at 5:39 p.m.

According to the Iowa State

Patrol, Rietveld was at a stop sign traveling southbound and pulled out onto Highway 163 where her Ford Crown Victoria was hit in the driver’s side door by a Chevy Tahoe traveling westbound.

Both vehicles came to rest in the median.

The driver of the SUV, 41-year-old Emily Eisentrager of Altoona, was also injured in the crash. She was transported to Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines, by Monroe EMS. Her condition has not been released.

Move of 800 sex offenders to Newton nearly complete

File photo Newton Correctional Facility is now home to a program that houses and treats about 800 sex offenders. The program, which began its move from a Mount Vernon facility almost a year ago, is contained within the medium-security site of the prison.

Newton Correction Facility plan in the works since October 2015

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News About 800 inmates have been brought into the medium-security site of the Newton Correctional Facility as part of the Iowa Department of Corrections’ move of its sex offender treatment program from Mount Pleasant.

The Newton Daily news reported in October 2015 the details of the DOC’s plans to move the program to Newton, and it appears the move is nearly complete. With about 100 inmates staying behind at Mount Pleasant to complete treatment there, the vast majority of Newton’s inmates at the medium security site — which had a count of about 915 inmates as of Monday — will be a part of the sex offender program.

“Public safety is always our

No. 1 priority,” said Newton Warden Kris Weitzell, who took over in April. “Each offender has a detailed treatment and release plan.

Typically, that plan includes Weitzell release back to their county of commitment.”

Newton’s minimum-security facility, known as the Correctional Release Center, won’t be affected by the change. The warden said it’s possible offenders who are progressing well and are approaching their re-entry into society could end up transferring to a minimum-security facility at Newton or another prison, but that has always been the case.

Weitzell said there will be a

slight increase and change in the number of treatment staff at Newton, but the treatment team will still be small. There are 16 full-time DOC staff employed at Newton, reporting directly to Associate Warden Sean Crawford.

Mount Pleasant, initially constructed as a psychiatric hospital, has more of a dorm-style arrangement not as conducive to medium-security housing as Newton. That facility is reducing overall staff as it transitions to an all-minimum status. However, the overall number of DOC staff is not increasing or decreasing to accommodate the program moving to Newton, she said.

There are one-, two- and three-person cells at the Newton medium-security site.

Weitzell also said even though the sentence lengths for sex offenders vary greatly, she doesn’t forsee many families purposely relocating to Newton to be closer to where inmates are housed.

NCSD board hears more about Berg bell problems

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News On the eve of one of the largest bond elections in the history of the Newton Community School District, the NCSD Board of Education heard about some issues Monday night related to the building it’s hoping to rebuild.

At Monday’s regular meeting, the board heard about two topics of concern at Berg Middle School — problems with the bell system and mold.

Fortunately, the news about the dreaded four-letter word — mold — was relatively good news. A report from Midwest Air Quality, LLC, revealed the Berg complex doesn’t seem to have the same level of issues it’s had in some of the past few summers and in early fall.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Newton Community School District Board of Education member Andy Elbert listens at Monday’s regular meeting. The board heard about two topics of concern at Berg Middle School — problems with the bell system and mold.

“The best news is there was no black mold detected,” said Superintendent Bob Callaghan.

“There was discovered a small level of current or former presence of mold, consistent with what was found in the air outside the building. It was not a high enough level to necessarily call for professional mediation. We are taking steps to get air purifiers and dehumidifiers where they can do the most good.”

The same cannot be said, however, for the bells on the fifth- and sixth-grade side of the middle school, which have yet to function properly for those grades since Berg began to house those grades this fall. The lone Iowa firm that can service an older bell system such as Berg’s, CEC, considers the repairs at Berg to be such a large project that two days will be necessary for it, and BERG BELL | 3A

Cyclist hit by car

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A bicyclist was hit by a vehicle on First Avenue East and was taken to Skiff Medical Center Monday evening, according to the Newton Police Department.

Morgan Meseke, 25, was riding a bicycle southbound on East 17th Street and crossing First Avenue East at about 5:15 p.m. when her bicycle struck the right front area of a Chrysler Town & Country driven by Virginia Meredith, 72, who was traveling westbound.

Meseke was taken to Skiff with unknown injuries, according to a report.

She was conscious and

able to speak with first responders on scene.

Meredith had been attempting to turn south onto East 17th Street South. She had seen Meseke coming south on her bicycle and inched forward, but still ended up colliding with the bicycle, according to police.

No one has been cited and the accident is still under investigation.

Meseke recently joined the Newton YMCA as its Wellness Director.

An inquiry to YMCA staff about her condition wasn’t answered by presstime.

In Brief

Crops still a few weeks away from harvest

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Clarence Brand’s daughter, Ladonna Brand Van Zee, accepted a plaque on behalf of her late father at last month’s Iowa State Fair from Iowa 4-H Executive Director Albert Grunenwald. Brand was inducted into the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame this year.

Brand inducted into 4-H Hall of Fame Longtime cattle farmer was leader for decades

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When Ladonna Brand Van Zee was a young girl growing up on the family farm near Sully, animals and crops weren’t simply things seen by the side of the road. Those things were her life.

The 4-H program was a big part of her family’s life as well, and at last month’s Iowa State Fair, Van Zee’s father, Clarence Brand, was inducted posthumously into the Iowa 4-H Hall of Fame.

Brand, who began serving as leader and assistant leader for the Lynn-Grove Hustlers 4-H Club in 1962, gave up many comforts and much of his time through the years so that his children and many others could experience the positive impact of the program.

Van Zee was at the state fair to receive a plaque from Iowa 4-H Executive Director Albert Grunenwald on behalf of her late father’s induction into the Hall of Fame. Clarence Brand passed away in 2011 at the age of 89.

“I formed a lot of great friendships through 4-H,” Van Zee said.

“And we learned more of what we already learning at home in terms the value of hard work. Our lifestyle rewarded how much each person contributed rather than where they started or finished, and 4-H was a natural place to use those values.”

The Hall of Fame, formed in 2002, has several other Jasper County inductees. The lone 2015 Jasper County inductee was Jeannie Boetcher. Karla Jordan was in-

ducted in 2012.

Clarence Brand was born and raised in Mahaska County, near New Sharon, and he and his wife, Vera, farmed and raised children about five miles north of Sully.

That’s where Ladonna and her sisters, Connie and Bonita, and her brother, Gary, first learned about farming and 4-H — especially after Gary, who is now deceased, started entering 4-H competitions when he was about 13.

Brand raised cattle on the family farm for many years.

“Gary was about five years older than me,” said Van Zee, 61. “He got involved with feeder cattle and had some success in his first year, so that probably is part of why I ended up doing 4-H.” During his time as leader, Brand organized the monthly meetings, helped the club make new signs to hang at the Jasper County Fair and the Iowa State Fair, set up the club tour and special events schedules — among the thousands of other tasks that lead to early mornings, long trips and late nights for 4-H leaders.

After retiring from 4-H leadership, he helped his grandchildren and local youth with their 4-H projects.

Brand rarely missed the Jasper County and Iowa State Fair and he enjoyed traveling to other county fairs to check out the cattle being shown.

“4-H trips were like family vacations for us,” Van Zee said.

Brand and his wife Vera retired from farming in 2010 due to health reasons. Vera passed

away not long after, and only a few months later, Brand passed away.

The written statement that was a part of Brand’s Hall of Fame induction includes the comment that Brand’s “work ethic, leadership, and service to others, along with his love for 4-H, will be passed on for generations.”

Van Zee, who married Terry Van Zee and now lives in Pella and works in human resources, no longer actively farms, but she’s tremendously grateful for growing up in farm and 4-H settings. Not only did she learn a work ethic, but farming taught her the benefits of being out in the country.

“I see now how healthy we lived back then,” Van Zee said. “We did a lot things the old-fashioned way.

We didn’t have that much access or need for processed things. A lot of what we needed came from the farm.”

Van Zee said 4-H taught her the value of human relationships.

“It was a great big family, being in 4-H,” Van Zee said. “Yes, we were rivals, in terms of competing for awards. But we were also great friends. I learned a lot of people skills that way.”

She said there is no replacement for learning useful values at home and having those values enhanced by an organization like a 4-H club.

“We didn’t always have the newest or the best things,” Van Zee said. “But we knew the value of a good day’s work, and how that would pay off.”

DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey Monday commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October.

“With rains falling across much of Iowa, the crops are still a few weeks away from the start of harvest statewide. The extra moisture has contributed to some reported signs of stress on the crop. We continue to see some aerial seeding of cover crops into standing corn and soybeans to allow them to start growing before the crop is harvested this fall,” Northey said.

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture. gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ ia. The report summary follows here: Iowa’s wettest week of the year, with especially heavy rains in northern Iowa, limited fieldwork during the week ending Sept. 11, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide there were just 3.7 days suitable for fieldwork. Producers reported seeing corn stalk rot and stress on soybeans due to excessive moisture. Activities for the week includ-

ed chopping corn for silage, seed corn harvest and cutting hay.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 3 percent short, 86 percent adequate and 10 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 1 percent very short, 6 percent short, 84 percent adequate and 9 percent surplus.

Ninety percent of the corn crop reached the dent stage or beyond, five days ahead of the five-year average. Twenty-nine percent of corn had reached maturity, three days ahead of last year, but one day behind average. Corn condition rated 83 percent good to excellent. Sixty-two percent of soybeans have started to turn color, two days ahead of last year’s pace. Nineteen percent of soybeans were dropping leaves, three days ahead of average. Soybean condition rated 82 percent good to excellent.

The third cutting of alfalfa hay was 91 percent complete, two weeks ahead of last year. Producers in several parts of the State have been working on a fourth cutting of hay.

Especially green and productive for late summer, pasture condition improved slightly to 65 percent good to excellent. Livestock conditions were reported as excellent although there were a few reports of muddy feedlots.

Cover crop webinar to focus on soil health, nitrate retention AMES — As fall cover crops go into the ground, many farmers have questions about how to best manage cover crops and achieve benefits such as soil health and nitrate retention.

Mike Castellano will share his research on how cover crops can best be managed to maximize benefits during the Iowa Learning Farms’ monthly webinar on Sept. 21.

The webinar is free, and all that is needed to participate is a computer with internet access.

“Future gains in crop

production and environmental quality will require a systems approach that integrates many disciplines,” Castellano said.

The Iowa Learning Farms webinars are held on the third Wednesday of each month at 1 p.m.

To log in, go to connect. extension.iastate.edu/ ilf/ at 1 p.m. on the afternoon of the webinar and log in through the “guest” option. Webinar participants can ask questions during the presentation using the chat function.

THE STORY BEHIND THE YIELD ENHANCEMENT SYSTEM Insect protection. Improved stands. Higher yields. Beck’s Escalate™ yield enhancement system comes standard on every unit of corn, soybeans, wheat, and elite alfalfa. Every corn kernel includes the optimum rate of Poncho® 1250 for insect control and the protection of VOTiVO® against nematodes. But it’s the combination of an industry leading fungicide package, optimal rates of insecticide, biologicals and/or a biostimulant that really sets Escalate apart. By treating everything inhouse, we can ensure the consistency and coverage farmers expect.

With an exclusive formulation and unique application, farmers can be confident knowing they are maximizing their yield potential.

gives a facility more staff specifically trained to deal with that population.

While the vast majority of Newton’s minimum-security inmates will be enrolled in the sex offender program, the 16 staff assigned to the program won’t be the only clinical staff on site. Some inmates require other psychological or counseling treatment.

“Not all of our treatment staff will be devoted to the sex-offender pro-

gram,” Weitzell said. “We still have other staff for psychological needs, such as counselors.”

Sen. Chaz Allen (D-Newton) said constituents approached him with security concerns when the move was first announced, but not recently. He strongly supports the efforts of AFSCME Council 61 President Danny Homans, the Iowa correctional officers’ union chief, in encouraging state leaders to adequately staff the

Truck strikes duplex

Continued from Page 1A

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News The Newton police and fire departments responded to an accident at about 9:55 a.m.

Monday in which a late-model pickup truck apparently left the roadway along South Eighth Avenue East in the 300 block, across from Newton High School, and struck a residential structure. One man — the driver — was taken to Skiff Medical Center with what appeared to be non-life threatening injuries. His exact condition was not known at presstime. Newton Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik said the cause is under investigation.

There were no other injuries. The house, a duplex, did not appear to suffer any serious structural damage.

Wellik also said there was an accident Friday morning along Interstate 80 westbound, just east of Exit 168, with one patient transported to Skiff Medical Center. The patient’s condition is not known. Wellik said the vehicle struck the cable barrier, reminded him of the many head-on collisions that occurred prior to the installation of the barrier.

entertainers and a different local sponsor, with the Newton Daily News sponsoring the inaugural week.

The Greater Newton Chamber of Commerce, Young Professionals of Jasper County and South Skunk Blues Society are hosting the series, with input from Newton Main Street Director Graham Sullivan.

“It’s going to have music that’s pretty chill,” said Chamber of Commerce Director Amanda Price.

“We’re making it a point to have Iowa-made wine and beer on hand, so it’s really a cultural and a networking event.”

The events will be open to the public, but are only for a 21-and-older crowd. There is a $2 cover, and “artful” food and drinks will be for sale.

The 7 p.m. wrap-up time not only would allow businesspeople with a weekday schedule to still attend other local events, such as high school football games, it also allows musical acts to play at another venue later on that same Friday evening.

Price said Elaine Mattingly, president of the South Skunk Blues Society, came up with the idea. The Blues Society will be instrumental in securing musical talent for the series.

Berg Bell

Continued from Page 1A submitted a bid to Sloan for $2,400 to complete the work.

Technology Supervisor Dan Sloan, in his supervisors’ report, discussed not only why the 5-6 side cannot be programmed separately from the 7-8 side, which functions properly, but also why the fifth- and sixth-grade areas of the school also cannot be programmed individually.

The bell problem at Berg was described in a Sept. 2 story in the Newton Daily News.

The board took no action on the bid. One item discussed was how much work the district should do on Berg infrastructure until Tuesday’s bond election was held.

Tuesday, voters decide if a $26.9 million bond should pass, with all voting taking place from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Tuesday at the Jasper County Community Center. The bond requires 60 percent approval

to pass.

Board Members Josh Cantu and Andy Elbert and Vice President Travis Padget presented a bond committee update.

“I like the passion I’ve seen for the students as the bond discussions have gone on this year,” Padget said. “I really hope that continues.”

Board President Sheri Benson was out of town and was not at Monday’s meeting. The board’s next regular meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. on Sept. 26 at the EJH Beard Administration Building.

In other action Monday, the board: • Approved a motion to hold a work session prior to the Sept. 26 meeting to develop a Denison Culture committee. Scheduling 2016-17 meeting dates is also on Monday’s agenda.

• Discussed an artist’s rendering of possible signage in front of or on the EJH Beard Administration Building. Specific costs were not mentioned

Unwind

and no action was taken. The board agreed with Callaghan’s suggestion signage needs at each campus be evaluated after the bond election.

• Heard an open enrollment report from Callaghan that included a recap of successful efforts to balance kindergarten enrollment at the four K-4 elementary schools. Five families agreed to have their children attend Aurora Heights instead of Emerson Hough, which had an unexpectedly high number of kindergartners this year.

Those five families will keep their five children — and nine total students — at Aurora Heights for the duration of those students’ K-4 years.

• Heard supervisors’ reports from Curt Roorda in transportation, who had positive news about changes to bus routes to accommodate day care issues, from Cristy Croson in food service, who had positive news about grant programs and account balances, and from Jack Suttek in maintenance, who said carpeting

“My only concern is with overall staffing — having enough correctional officers to keep the community, inmates and other staff safe,” Allen said. “There need to be enough staff to, one, remain safe, and two, to have the ability for prison staff to do their jobs.”

Price said she wanted to make sure the series benefits members of the Chamber of Commerce.

“This event benefits chamber members in two ways,” Price said. “It allows each business to get its name out there by sponsoring an event, and it’s also a great networking opportunity.”

The Sept. 23 event, sponsored by Edward Jones, features the music of “Definite Distraction,” a trio of well-known central Iowa musicians — John Mattingly, Jimmy Robinson and Scott Davis — who play as part of JJ Express on a regular basis. Their selection for the Hunter Mansion will be jazz-based.

Locations, entertainment and sponsorships have not all been completely determined for the series. The Hunter Mansion is only available for the first two weeks of the series.

Questions about sponsoring the event or hosting a Friday evening Unwind at Five event can be directed to Price at the Chamber of Commerce, at 641-792-5545 or info@experiencenewton.com.

“It will be low-key, like what you’d hear in some jazz clubs, or a piano bar,” Price said. “We want people to be able to socialize.”

Fight, fight, fight for Iowa I

have been to a lot of Iowa vs.

Iowa State football games. I got season tickets my freshman year of college and have been a season ticket holder ever since.

In the past 15 years, there have been a lot of great games. I’ve seen Iowa win and lose, both at home and in Ames.

This year, for the first time, I wasn’t as fearful as I usually am when the rivalry weekend rolls around. I don’t want to seem big-headed, but Iowa State just didn’t scare me.

I think Iowa State’s new coach will be great for the school. I won’t pretend to have any extensive knowledge about the football team or the coach, but from my first impression, I think

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson he will have more of a big picture approach to the season.

To be more specific, it has been a while since ISU has really competed in the Big 12. I think Campbell will look to change that and not just at a victory against their instate rival. I could be wrong, but I honestly hope it works out that way.

Back to this year’s game. We arrived in Iowa City after making our annual stop at Scheel’s to grab some new apparel.

Our luck has always been we are in the gold section during black and gold spirit games. It was exciting the first time, and I had high hopes we would switch up and be black, which I own a lot more of, but nope, we are

always gold.

We then headed to our tailgating spot near Hancher Auditorium. I’m not sure how we found that area to park so many years ago, but it is a great tailgating lot with a lot of open space and not far from the stadium.

I went to visit my niece, who is a freshman this year at Iowa, in her dorm before she headed out for the day. It was great walking around campus, but I immediately felt my age as I weaved through girls wearing way too little and boys dressing like my brother in the early 90s.

We left our first tailgate to visit family who tailgates in a hidden lot in a valley of buildings. After grabbing some snacks it was time to head toward Kinnick.

There is nothing like going into the stadium for the first time of the season. We couldn’t go to the game last week because it fell on our youngest daughter’s birthday. Princess parties

trump even Iowa football.

The game went as I thought it would. It has been a while since I had been to a game where Iowa just dominated. I can remember looking up to see how much time was left and we were still in the third quarter.

Yes, I am rubbing it in a little bit, but I try to enjoy the good times when they are here. I do have to give major compliments to the Iowa State band, which set up camp right next to where we sit. They were loud, consistent and played songs from this decade. I found myself clapping along with them on more then one occasion before remembering they weren’t for my team.

I am looking forward to this season and the great home games we have. I know it is extremely unlikely that we will repeat what we did last year — 12-0 — but a girl came dream.

A Peep into the past Sometimes, I can’t avoid it, but I try not to be nostalgic.

Sure, I miss places and people I used to know, but I fight mightily against “things were better were when I was a kid,” because when a 50-plus man says that what he means is he misses being young and strong.

That’s why so many guys my age own so many guns, because we know we can’t win fistfights anymore.

If you want to know the truth of it, “I Love Lucy” wasn’t hilarious, it was stupid. Tupac Shakur wrote better lyrics than The Beatles. The cars we think of as “classic” were junkers after 50,000 miles.

You start thinking that everything was better when you were a young man, you end up being mad as hell because there isn’t a two-hour prayer session at the beginning of every public school day, you start claiming that “the slaves didn’t have it so bad,” and you end up voting for Donald Trump.

This old guy ain’t goin’ out like that, yo.

Of all the improvements made in my lifetime, two stand out.

The first is the clock in your car. Back when your dashboard clock had hands, like a pocket watch, the clock stopped working two weeks after you bought the car. Right now, I’m driving a 16-year-old Ford pickup and the digital dash clock is accurate to the minute.

And the second is Peeps, those marshmallow chicks people eat at Easter.

I love those things. When I was a kid, they were yellow, they were chicks and they were overly sweet.

That was it for choices.

Last week, my wife, who knows I love Peeps, came home with maple brown sugar Peeps dipped in white chocolate. There are Halloween Peeps shaped like tombstones and chocolate-flavored Peeps and raspberry Peeps.

Peep technology has exploded in my lifetime and, best of all, they’re still made in the USA. I don’t think most people think about either dashboard clocks or Peeps. You want to know what time its, you look at the dashboard clock. If you want to buy Fourth of July Peeps shaped like stars and sprinkled with red and blue sugar, you can.

Instead of rejoicing in these things, we complain about football players kneeling during the national anthem. Hell, maybe the guy says a prayer while he kneels. If he’s being patriotic and praying at the same time, he’s qualified to be the governor of any state that produces good barbecue.

I’ll be 60 next May. I will die sooner rather than later.

I will not go down sucking on the bitter lemon of nostalgia. I will not listen to the oldies station. I will not live in the gated community. I will not worship Jesus as the world’s biggest spoilsport. I will not follow some orange-haired old man into hell.

Speak up about bullying, harassment As kids return to school, parents are often concerned about safety and bullying. The Center for Disease Control study found that 28 percent of U.S. students in grades 6-12 (approximately 4,172,000 children) are victims of bullying each year. Perhaps more shockingly, 70.6 percent of students say that they have witnessed bullying at least once.

Bullying can have detrimental effects on students and a school community. It can lead to bad

State Fairs, plus the ones that were canceled during World War II, in my 70-some years and only made it one day this year. One can’t possibly see all the judging and the results even if you go every day. It was great to see all the names of the 4-H, FFA members and adults that you know or recognize and all the different categories they enter.

My parents and I are fair peo-

ple, growing up on the farm, livestock, gardening and canning were our way of life and we loved it. The Iowa State Fair was our vacation. I know the day will be coming that I can’t attend but will be looking forward to seeing and enjoying the results and pictures in the paper. Thanks again for the great job.

grades, a lack of trust, mental health issues, drug and alcohol abuse and suicide.

We are often less aware of sexual harassment and violence in schools, but they are often as prevalent and damaging as bullying. Studies show that 58 percent of 7th-12th graders are victims of sexual harassment each year, 20 percent of young women are sexually assaulted while in high school, and 18 percent of teenagers say that they have been in an abusive dating relationship by the time they turn 18. These statistics paint a scary picture, and beg the question, “what can we do to stop this?”

We must empower our students to recognize and speak up about bullying and harassment.

They are on the front lines of these issues and need to know how to get help when they or their friends need it. Crisis Intervention Services offers violence prevention programs for youth of all ages. With education and dedication, everyone has the power to stop violence from happening in our schools.

Couple fallen out of love should fall out of marriage

DEAR ABBY: Is it possible that people can just fall out of love with each other? We have been married for 21 years and have three kids who are older. Over the last five years, my wife and I have stopped communicating. We don’t do anything together and have little desire to be with each other anymore.

We are good parents, but as far as being husband and wife, we have pretty much neglected each other emotionally and physically. Neither of us has strayed.

We haven’t been to a marriage counselor because I just don’t love my wife anymore, and I’m not saying this to be mean. It’s just how I feel. We have failed each other miserably as husband and wife, and she deserves better. She has been a great mom to our three kids, and I would never take that away from her.

Can people stay in a loveless marriage? We have talked it over, and we both agree there’s nothing left here for each other. I have already told her she needs to do whatever it takes to make herself happy because I can no longer be here for her emotionally or physically. — FELL OUT OF LOVE DEAR FELL OUT OF LOVE: People sometimes remain in loveless marriages for religious or financial reasons, because they are afraid a divorce would traumatize the children, or because they are afraid of being alone. If you and your wife agree that there is nothing left for either of you, and marriage counseling won’t fix the dysfunction in your relationship, then the logical next step would be an amicable separation or divorce.

DEAR ABBY: I have the most amazing husband. He helps with the housework, provides for us and loves me unconditionally. Not a day

goes by that I don’t hear how precious I am to him. It’s like a fairy tale. Except — we never had a formal wedding, just a courthouse ceremony with nobody there but us two. You see, we had to get the paperwork done so I wouldn’t have to keep renewing my visa status every few months.

Now we can be together in the U.S. with no issues. But I feel like we skipped an important life milestone, and a wedding would be the perfect opportunity to unite both of our families from around the world.

The problem is my husband is happy with the way things are. He refuses to spend money on a party and says, “If we ever have one, it will be when we are rich, stable, and able to afford it by ourselves.” (My parents are more than willing to pay!) I feel like a lifelong dream was taken away from me. Your thoughts? — MISSING OUT IN VIRGINIA DEAR MISSING OUT: My thoughts are you have a stellar husband AND your visa problem is solved. I’d say you have done quite well. If your husband prefers to postpone the fancy celebration until you are more financially stable and foot the bill himself, you should respect him for it. I know I do.

Police say driver to face vehicular homicide charge DES MOINES — Des Moines police ​ say a driver will face a vehicular homicide charge for the death of a 12-year-old who was injured in a three-vehicle crash.

A news release Monday said 18-yearold Fernando Lopez Aguilar was charged with three counts of serious injury by reckless driving and that one of them will be amended to homicide because of the death of Lea Phann. The girl and her 7-year-old sister, Khloey, were among five people injured Thursday.

2 Muscatine County officials give in to persistent beavers MUSCATINE — After repeated runins with dam-building beavers, officials in Muscatine County have decided to let the rodents win. County supervisors decided that after tearing down a beaver dam three times, they’ll let it remain in a ditch unless it backs up water that threatens a roadway.

Officials say it cost up to $3,000 each time workers removed the dam. It took the beavers only two weeks to rebuild the structure.

Alexis Martinez, 25, was arrested Monday and is charged with three counts of felony neglect of a dependent person. Records say she remained in custody Tuesday. Online court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could be contacted to speak for her. Court documents say Martinez forced her children, ages 2, 4 and 6, to sleep in the room for a week.

Two new solar arrays could triple Johnson County clean energy IOWA CITY (AP) — Johnson County’s installation of two new solar arrays in Iowa City will triple the local government’s production of clean energy and save taxpayers money, officials said.

One array will be built next to the county administration building on the site of the former Johnson County Armory.

The other array has already been added to the roof of the county’s Health and Human Services building.

Becky Soglin, Johnson County sustainability coordinator, said the two arrays will produce about 308,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity each year.

advantage of government tax credits for renewable energy and provides maintenance of the solar panels.

Two smaller arrays went live at the county’s secondary roads department last year.

Supervisor Mike Carberry said the county will continue to use solar and wind power where it is site-appropriate. He said he envisioned the creation of larger solar farms, possibly at the Johnson County Poor Farm.

According to Carberry, the solar farm could produce more electricity than the facility uses and the excess could be sold back to the utility to offset the cost.

Linn County OK’s raise in minimum wage CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — Officials in Iowa’s second most populous county voted Monday to raise its minimum wage a dollar an hour for three years, making it the second county to increase the wage above the state standard.

Linn County supervisors voted 4-1 to raise the $7.25 minimum wage by a dollar each Jan. 1 until 2019, when it will reach $10.25.

The move follows action by neighboring Johnson County to raise its wage by three increments of 95 cents to $10.10 by 2017. Linn County’s action could be especially significant given its status as Iowa’s second most-populous county.

“One-quarter of the electrical use by the administration building will be this clean, solar-generated energy,” Soglin said. “And for the Health and Human Services building, that rooftop array is expected to provide about 11 percent of the electrical energy needs of that building.”

Soglin said that the county’s investment in solar power must be paired with efforts to improve building efficiency so less energy overall is needed.

The new arrays are financed through power purchase agreements, meaning the county pays a lower rate to a third party while that company takes

Trial set in Newton sex abuse case Newton Daily News A district court judge on Monday confirmed an Oct. 12 trial date for a Newton man charged with six counts of third-degree sexual abuse.

Jerry E. Fults, 35, was charged by the Newton Police Department in January after a 12-year-old girl reported multiple inappropriate contacts that spanned nearly one year.

According to a police report, the mother of the victim walked in on Fults making inappropriate contact with the victim and initiated the Fults police investigation. Fults told police his lawyer advised him not to speak with authorities.

Graves of 16 Civil War veterans receive headstones MARSHALLTOWN (AP) — Researchers and volunteers have completed a project to mark the graves of Civil War veterans in a Marshalltown cemetery.

The Catholic Soldiers’ Lot at Riverside Cemetery is the final resting place for 31 Civil War veterans, but until recently, only about half of the graves were marked.

A team of people secured Veterans Affairs-issued headstones for the remaining 16 men, and the final headstone was installed last week.

Burial records exist for all the men laid to rest in the Catholic Soldiers’ Lot, but the locations of the burials as listed didn’t match with the marked graves.

Since there was no way of knowing the exact resting place of the men in the unmarked graves, volunteers had to research information about the 16 men by collecting census data from the Marshalltown Public Library.

“We had their names, but little other information, so one by one, we had to research their identities and figure out dates of birth, death and years of military service,” cemetery volunteer Jerry McCann said. “We know they were mainly of Irish descent, and some German, who when they died, wanted to be buried in this section.”

The team of volunteers decided to order flat stones for the unmarked graves to differentiate them from the upright graves of the ones that had been previously marked.

NCAA pulls 7 postseason events out of NC due to LGBT law Basketball-crazed North Carolina has lost its next chance to host NCAA men’s basketball tournament games along with several other championship events due to a state law that some say can lead to discrimination against LGBT people.

And the fallout may not be over.

After the NCAA announced it is pulling seven championship events from North Carolina for this year, Atlantic Coast Conference Commissioner John Swofford — whose league hosts many sporting events in the state, including its football championship game — said the ACC’s council of presidents were set to discuss the law at a previously scheduled meeting later this week.

The ACC football championship game, held in Charlotte since 2010, is the last marquee college sporting event left in the state during the 2016-17 season. While Swofford it would be “premature” to make any decisions about holding events in North Carolina for now, he also issued a clear statement

against the law.

“On a personal note,” Swofford said, “it’s time for this bill to be repealed as its counter to basic human rights.”

In a news release Monday, the NCAA says the decision by its board of governors came “because of the cumulative actions taken by the state concerning civil rights protections.”

The law — known as HB2 — requires transgender people to use restrooms at schools and government buildings corresponding to the sex on their birth certificates.

It also excludes gender identity and sexual orientation from local and statewide antidiscrimination protections.

HB2 was signed into law by Republican Gov. Pat McCrory earlier this year. A spokesman with McCrory’s office couldn’t immediately be reached for comment Monday evening, but a spokeswoman with the state Republican party blasted the NCAA’s decision in a statement, saying it is “so absurd it’s almost comical.”

US flies bombers over S.Korea in show of force against North OSAN AIR BASE, South Korea (AP) — The United States on Tuesday sent two nuclear-capable supersonic bombers streaking over ally South Korea in a show of force meant to cow North Korea after its recent nuclear test, and also to settle rattled nerves in the South.

The B-1B bombers, escort-

ed by U.S. and South Korean jets, were seen by an Associated Press photographer as they flew over Osan Air Base, which is 120 kilometers (75 miles) from the border with North Korea, the world’s most heavily armed. The bombers were likely to return to Andersen Air Force Base in Guam without landing in

South Korea.

Such flyovers are fairly common when animosity rises on the Korean Peninsula, which is technically in a state of war because there has never been a peace treaty to officially end the 1950-53 Korean War. South Korea does not have nuclear weapons and relies

on the U.S. “nuclear umbrella” as a deterrent to North Korea. Washington also stations more than 28,000 troops in the South, and tens of thousands more in Japan.

The B-1B doesn’t currently carry nuclear weapons under a disarmament treaty, but the United States has yet to convert the B-1s to non-nuclear

heavy bombers using treaty procedures, according to a 2016 report by the U.S. Congressional Research Service.

U.S. Forces Korea wouldn’t comment on the bombers’ capabilities, but South Korean military officials and analysts said that they could carry nuclear weapons if reconfigured.

Tigerhawks capture SICL win over Hawks

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Colfax-Mingo and Lynnville-Sully played each other in the final match of Saturday’s Twin Cedar Invitational in Bussey. The Hawks defeated the Tigerhawks in two sets.

On Monday, the two teams faced off again on the volleyball court in South Iowa Cedar League conference play at Lynnville-Sully High School.

The roles were reversed.

The Hawks weren’t able to establish a home-court advantage in their SICL opener while the Tigerhawks claimed the final two sets to win 25-22, 19-25, 25-17, 25-13.

“I didn’t do a good job of getting our girls ready tonight,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Jayme Deal said. “We didn’t play together. There was no teamwork, no communication and we just couldn’t get there.”

Colfax-Mingo head coach Michelle Grant said her team wasn’t ready to play Lynnville-Sully on Saturday.

“That loss bothered us.

We didn’t play well, and we knew we could play better as a team,” Grant said after Monday’s win. “We were ready to play tonight, and we came in with a bit of a chip on our shoulder.”

The match featured two of the top 10 hitters in the SICL in Lynnville-Sully senior Brenna Lanser and Colfax-Mingo junior Ries Wilson. Each got their hits in during the four-

set match, but other players had strong performances for both teams.

Chelsea Russell, Rhiannon Haley, Shaylee Shedenhelm and Amy Russell had quality serving for the Tigerhawks.

Chelsea Russell was 21-of-21 with 13 points and one serving ace. Haley and Shedenhelm each served for 10 points in the match. Amy Russell went 16-of-17 at the serving line.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Lynnville-Sully’s Carson Fisk served nine consecutive points to open the second set of Monday’s SICL match with visiting Colfax-Mingo.

Lynnville-Sully built an 11-8 lead in the opening set on three-point serving runs by Lanser and Jelissa Rozendaal.

The Hawks were up 13-10 when Chelsea Russell strung together four consecutive points for Colfax-Mingo.

It was back-and-forth from there. It was tied at 22-all when Colfax-Mingo scored a point defensively, and Wilson served up the final two points.

Strong serving came from Carson Fisk for the Hawks, going 25-of-26 in the match.

Fisk opened the second set with a nine-point run, including two of her five aces on the night. She finished with 13 points.

Colfax-Mingo bounced back into the set, but Lynnville-Sully maintained its lead, 13-8. On a kill by Makenzy Rozendaal, the Hawks were in charge of a 21-11 lead. The Tigerhawks fended off the final four points until Makenzy Rozendaal downed a kill and McKinley Conover served the set point, 25-19.

“She (Fisk) has a tough serve and we made mistakes during that serving run,” Grant said. “As a team, we talk a lot about eliminating mistakes. We didn’t communicate with each other in that set, but we came back strong to get the win.”

Colfax-Mingo got the upper hand in the third set and kept it. Lynnville-Sully did briefly gain the lead on a three-point run at the service line by McKinley Conover.

Two of the points came on a

block by Olivia Ritter and a kill by Lanser.

Back came the Tigerhawks with Wilson serving up five points. Colfax-Mingo fans held their breath three rotations later when Wilson delivered a kill then rolled her ankle when she landed. Wilson left the court with Colfax-Mingo up 18-14.

Wilson returned to the court and helped the Tigerhawks win the third set, 2518. Colfax-Mingo rolled to a 10-3 lead in the fourth set.

Lynnville-Sully wasn’t able to respond and dropped the fourth and deciding set, 2513.

“We’ll use this as a learning experience, and come out on Thursday and do better,” Deal said of the Hawks.

Wilson delivered 25 kills on 42 attack attempts for Colfax-Mingo. She also had eight digs, seven service points and two ace serves. Amy Russell had seven kills and eight digs. Megan Earles served for three points and had two kills.

Aranda Woods downed four kills.

“Megan played really well with 32 set assists. I thought Amy Russell passed the ball extremely well tonight,” Grant said.

Makenzy Rozendaal led the Hawk net attack with 10 kills.

Lanser had eight kills and let the Hawks with 27 digs. Fisk had 14 digs and 25 set assists.

Conover also had 14 digs.

Jelissa Rozendall served up six points, had one ace serve, four kills and seven digs.

Cyclones faced with quarterback controversy AMES (AP) — It was apparent after Iowa State’s opener the Cyclones will struggle to run the ball this season. The Cyclones can’t seem to throw it much, either, an issue that has plunged the program into a quarterback controversy just two games into coach Matt Campbell’s first season.

Quarterback Joel Lanning’s starting job may be in jeopardy after he gave way to sophomore Jacob Park in last week’s 42-3 loss to No. 13 Iowa. Iowa State, which is 127th out of 128 FBS teams with just 11.5 points per game, visits TCU (1-1) on Saturday as a 23.5-point underdog hoping to avoid its first 0-3 start since 1997.

“I don’t know if I forecast any major changes right now.

But I think that’s what practice is for,” Campbell said.

In the offseason there was never a question that Lanning, a junior who took over the starting job midway through last season, would be the guy

going forward. But he looked so bad Saturday that Campbell was forced to pull him.

Lanning, who threw three touchdowns passes for the third time in his career in Iowa State’s 25-20 loss to FCS school Northern Iowa on Sept. 3, looked shaky from the opening series against the Hawkeyes.

Lanning misfired on a number of easy early passes designed to help the Cyclones move the ball in the absence of a rushing threat. Iowa only made things worse, forcing Iowa State to abandon the run game altogether by building a 28-3 lead before halftime. Lanning completed just 8-of-20 passes for 86 yards and, for the

third time in two games, an interception that could’ve easily been avoided.

Park, a transfer who started his career at Georgia, wasn’t much better. He finished 6-of15 for 79 yards playing largely against Iowa reserves.

Lanning was listed as the starter on Monday’s depth chart, and the fact that his teammates named him a captain would make a change a tricky one.

But Campbell didn’t dismiss the idea of playing both against the Horned Frogs, who will likely be motivated to rebound from a 41-38 home loss to Arkansas last weekend.

“If you look at my past, I’ve never been a one-quarterback guy. I think I’ve always (been about) what gives us the best chance to be successful,” Campbell said. “We’re going to do whatever we need to do to give ourselves some consistency on (offense).”

Iowa State’s offensive line,

battered by injuries and inexperience, appears to be a problem that won’t be fixed anytime soon. Running back Mike Warren, who had 1,337 yards as a freshman in 2015, had just seven carries for 28 yards last weekend as Iowa stuffed him in the backfield time and time again.

Campbell said Saturday that Warren has “got to be a guy that’s accountable on and off the field,” adding that he thought Warren failed to make some plays that he could have made. He didn’t completely change from that stance.

“My challenge to Michael is my challenge for all of our players. We have to continue to get better,” said Campbell, who added that his comments weren’t meant to be a “dig” at Warren. “We knew what expectations would be put on Mike ... he’s got to make sure he’s at his best constantly so he can handle all that comes with that.”

Tigerhawk netters win two, lose one at Twin Cedars tournament

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.

13). Even though the year is what you make it, there are certain drops of undeniable good fortune that keep your spirit growing strong. The boundaries you establish will stand you in good stead in both your personal and business

life. Make friendship a priority in November. You’ll travel for love in April. Sagittarius and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 3, 19, 44 and 6.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Consider the importance of passing on a verbal legacy of positive stories. Those who hear of the strength and fortitude of earlier generations will be inspired to find greatness inside themselves, too.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

A relationship that has been at odds now has a good chance at aligning most auspiciously for both parties. Differences become less significant as you

wton, IA

1802 S 12th Ave W, Ne 641-792-6226

800-274-3531 West Des Moines IA

see ways to serve a mutual interest.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You want to be inspired. You want to be challenged. The person who can do this without thinking, flinching or worrying in the least how you’ll react to the dare will kindle a mighty attraction in you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Don’t forget about the stories common to your family or group. These verbal traditions, passed from generation to generation, communicate the shared values of the group, which include strength and commitment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The natural drive is to relieve tension. That’s why some people can’t resist popping the bubble

Has your internal guidance system gone faint? Do you wonder if it’s even in there anymore? Well, rest assured the compass remains, though its voice system may be temporarily disabled during this square of the sun and Mars. It’s just harder to hear the sound of reason over the cacophony of friends, media and other seductive distractions.

Keeping You Comfortable!

“Quality is remembered

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). In most of life’s deep questions, the answers lie in the context.

Because each situation is unique and complex, one quantifiable answer is never going to fit all. In a related story, be wary of vitamin salesmen and the like today.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ve so much energy to bring to an arrangement that finding another leader who matches your level will be nearly impossible. Assuming you’re going to lead, now is the time to work on your vision. Hone one that will be good for all.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You need to make an intellectual connection today even more than you did yesterday, otherwise you’re going to feel alone on your thought plane and unsure about what to want next. Seek company with the like- and high-minded.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Scientist and statesman Ben Franklin called his habit of journaling the “constant felicity” of his life. You, too, will delight in keeping track of your life in this way, as it will give you clarity now and later, a lifeline to the past.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your virtues are not being disputed, nor your contributions contested. And yet, you still feel opposed by someone who is supposed to be on your

side. It’s time to ask: What is this argument really about?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If you got your way all of the time, life would become unbearably boring. Today will bring an encounter with someone who challenges you and makes you feel driven to earn respect and attention.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You never seem to tire of trying to make life better for the ones you love. Their happiness is the basis for yours. That person who finds it easy to get and stay happy is the golden gift in your life.
