I-80 motorcycle crash sends one to hospital

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A motorcycle accident on Interstate 80 sent one man to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries Tuesday.

The single vehicle accident occurred around noon in the east bound

lane of I-80 just west of the 164 exit to Newton.

Iowa State Trooper Tyler Bird said the man would be transported, but no further details were available at presstime.

Bond committee assigned to 911 Commission give input on Berg redesign looks to get new radio console

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty presented a plan to county supervisors Tuesday to replace dispatch consoles used by 911 operators. The county’s involvement with the project comes as a type of co-signer for the 911 Commission.

“We have a project where the 911 Commission voted unanimously to replace our dispatch consoles and equipment,” he said.

Halferty, who is also the secretary of the 911 Commission, said the commission can pay for

the system without any funds from the county. A second financial backer has been sought

by Motorola, the company from which the commission is purchasing $292,000 worth of equipment.

“The commission can pay for this, in fact, the commission received a $100,000 grant which will be used as a down payment on the new system,” Halferty said.

“The finance people at Motorola felt because they are a commission, they wanted a type of co-signer.”

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Dave Briden of FRK Design in Des Moines spoke before the Newton Community School District board of education Monday. A designer will meet with a group of 18 to 25 Newton-area residents in the months leading up to a Feb. 2 bond election in order to allow the community to have input into designing a rebuild of the Berg Complex.

Committee will have members from community, school district

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News While no names were made public at Monday’s Newton Community School District board of education regarding an advisory committee, the process that put that committee in place is still moving forward.

The board of education, with

the aid of school administrators, is putting together a bond committee to help advise in the design process of rebuilding the Berg Complex. The board voted earlier this year to pursue a build of an all-new building on the Berg site, in a way that won’t displace students at the existing complex.

The general-obligation bond should go to the voters Feb. 2 and the committee is being allowed to advise the architect on what features to include in the grades 5-8 complex.

Monday, Superintendent Bob Callaghan distributed a list of about 15 names to the board of community members that have confirmed interest in being on the

bond advisory committee, along with five “maybes.” The names were not shared with the public, as the list hasn’t been solidified, and there will also be district staff members added to the committee.

Callaghan said he plans to meet this week with City of Newton leaders to determine if there are city officials or other employers who would be useful to the cause. Board member Donna Cook pointed out there was a 12-3 gender ratio among the 15 confirmed community members, which would go to 17-3 if all the “maybes” end up on the committee.

In Brief Immanuel Baptist Church to host conference

Submitted Photo Highway Home Bluegrass Band will perform at the Thrivent concert being held to raise money for local food pantries at 4:30 p.m. Saturday at the First Lutheran Church in Newton.

Thrivent sponsoring food drive, concert

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News For the fourth year in a row, the Jasper County Chapter of Thrivent Financial will hold a concert to raise funds for local food pantries. This year, the concert will feature Highway Home and Betchaw & Friends Choir and will be held at 4:30 p.m. Saturday at the First Lutheran Church, 309 E. Third St. N. “We are honored and so pleased that the Highway Home Bluegrass Band has offered to provide music again for this year’s benefit.

Their award-winning sound will bring some foot-tapping smiles to those that come to the show,” Thrivent Chairperson Craig Peterson said.

Thrivent has been raising money for the food pantries for many years. Peterson said looking back at old records, he found that in 2009 the local chapter had projects that led to $1,800 in groceries purchased and donated.

“In 2012, the local chapter decided to see if we might maximize the available funding and began having an annual music concert where we would match the funds raised,” Peterson said.

During the first two years, the concerts were held at Sugar Grove

Vineyards, with the local Thrivent Chapter providing matching funds. In 2012, the group raised $5,424 and in 2013 surpassed that amount by almost $2,000, donating $7,300.

Last year, the concert was held at the Cowboy Church, with Thrivent matching $2,000 of proceeds received and donating a total of $7,385. These funds were then distributed to food pantries in the county including the Newton Salvation Army food pantry, PCM food bank, Baxter food pantry, Colfax-Mingo food pantry and the Eastern Jasper County Christian food pantry in Kellogg.

Thrivent again plans to match the first $2,000 raised during the funding raising effort, which runs through the month of September. Peterson said the Lutheran churches in Jasper County also have efforts underway to encourage donations to the cause.

“At First Lutheran Church, individuals that make a donation during the Sunday services will have these donations matched through the churches ‘Choices in Mission’ program,” Peterson said. “We are encouraging all the churches to pass the word on the need to support the food pantries, and, in particular, this year’s fundraising concert that will be held

this coming Saturday at First Lutheran.”

The concert features two acts, Highway Home followed by the Betchaw & Friends Choir.

Highway Home is a five-member bluegrass band made up of five musicians who share a love for traditional and gospel bluegrass music. The band is described as having strong vocals, tight harmonies and precise instrumentals.

Also performing one song will be Betchaw & Friends, the Newton Children’s Choir, directed by Jane Johnson. No admission will be charged, but donations to support county food pantries will be accepted.

For more information about the concert or fundraising efforts, contact Betty or Craig Peterson at 641-227-3209 or craig@partnercom.net or Duane Quanbeck at 515-966-4115 or dlquanbeck@ yahoo.com.

If you are unable to attend but wish to make a donation, please send checks payable to Jasper County Iowa Chapter of Thrivent Financial to Bill Bennett 513 S. Third Ave. E. Newton, Iowa, 50208.

Eighth grader shadows Iowa Speedway President Submitted Photo Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small welcomed an area junior-high school student to the Speedway for a job shadowing experience Sept. 12. Drew Bevan, an eighth-grader at Holy Trinity School in Des Moines, used the encounter to learn more about opportunities in motorsports. Bevan is interested in a NASCAR career and asked to observe Small in the work environment as part of a class project. Bevan aspires to a vocation similar to Small’s. In 2012, Small was named to the 10 NEXT class

by SportsPro Magazine. The distinction recognized the top 10 sports executives under the age of 30. “It is really interesting to see this side of the track. Most people don’t get to ride in the pace car so it’s a privilege to get to ride on the track in the pace car,� Bevan said.

Continued from Page 1A “I would like there to still be flexibility to add people later,� board vice president Travis Padget said. “I’d rather have more people there than not enough.�

Callaghan said there was discussion of having between 18 and 25 people on the committee, but at its Aug. 22 meeting, a couple of board members suggested that might be too many. The board approved the list Monday, with the next steps being Callaghan meeting with the city and helping determine which district teachers or other staff members will serve as well.

The superintendent said there were a number of reasons given by community members who said no to being on the committee, including construction-industry people who might be bidding on a Berg

rebuild project.

Dave Briden of FRK Design was at Monday’s meeting. He visualizes the process as a series of meetings that involve initial design, revision and then final changes.

The exact estimated cost of the new Berg Complex will be determined, in part, by the process. The committee will be allowed to advise the architect on which elements to add or subtract, increasing or decreasing costs as the new building’s needs are addressed. “There are several components,� Briden said. “We’ll have to determine what the project will include.

We’ll do some preliminary design, and there will be some visioning about what the building should have. Then, there will be the stage of selling the plan to the public, to get the public to vote for it.�

There will also be forums where a de-

tailed design, using committee ideas, can be presented visually in schematics and/or artist renderings, Briden said.

Final input will then determine what changes will be made to the design before voters decide on its approval.

Unlike certain existing levies, where the board is allowed to shift certain debt burdens onto property tax payers within the district, a new project like Berg requires voter approval in the form of a bond election. Iowa law requires school bonds pass with at least 60 percent approval.

Earlier this year, board president Sheri Benson said a bond issue that would take the district to or near its bonding capacity would end up costing property owners in the district about $150 new tax dollars each year for every $100,000 of property valuation.

Briden said it’s im-

portant to get a design together soon, and start presenting a design idea to the public. He also said it’s important to involve a wide cross-section of the community in the process, because it becomes the community’s project to sell, rather than just another board or administrative idea.

There are a number of challenges to this particular election cycle. Not only must the language for the ballot item be finalized 46 days before the election (Dec. 17), but the holiday break and the Feb. 1 Iowa Caucuses both complicate the efforts by proponents in getting the word out about the bond issue. “We’ll need to move fairly quickly here in the next couple of months in order to stay on track for Feb. 2,� Briden said.

dio systems we will have to utilize in the future,�

Halferty said.

The new consoles, which would be digital, would be adaptable and replace all four older systems currently in use. “As the financing agreement goes, we can take up to seven years to pay for it with no penalty for early pay off, which the commission plans on doing,� Halferty said. “We’re very comfortable we can pay

this off, worse case seven years, if not a lot sooner.

We just can’t move forward without that guarantee from the county to the financial institution, which is Motorola.�

Supervisor Denny Carpenter agreed the office needs to stay current on this equipment.

It was decided that Halferty would further investigate what was specifically needed from the board and present it at a later meeting.

The Telecommunications Company Property Tax Review Committee will collect information and provide recommendations for changes that help improve access to advanced telecommunications across Iowa. Three memAllen bers of the Iowa Senate and three members of the Iowa House will serve on the committee. “Our current approach to property taxes can have the unintended effect of discouraging needed investments in local telecommunications infrastructure,� Allen said. “This committee will investigate this situation and offer suggestions to be considered by the 2016 session of the Iowa Legislature.�

Some are paid too much to ‘tweet’

By Jason. W. Brooks Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Sept. 16, 2015

Neither of Iowa’s Division I head football coaches have official Twitter accounts — and I’m perfectly OK with that.

Tweeting is not for everyone. For some, it’s a technological non-likelihood; we all have an old (or not-so-old) relative or acquaintance who isn’t very tech-savvy. It has to do with delegation of responsibilities, management and which tasks are too time-consuming for well-paid officials.

Being a head coach for a program that has 85 scholarship athletes is tough enough without the distraction of having to tweet out thoughts after a tough loss, thank sponsors or promote a preseason fan event.

Football and basketball coaches are frequently the highest-paid employee within their state’s government. Iowa Hawkeye coach Kirk Ferentz is scheduled to make $3.65 million each year through 2020, and I don’t feel that our tax dollars should be spent on having a leader think of 140 characters to help sell tickets — or even to

inform us about legitimate team issues.

Ferentz and the UI athletic department issued a news release early last Tuesday evening regarding the death of Tyler Sash. There might be fans and/or media that would liked to have gotten the coach’s reaction sooner, but some responses take time to be formulated in a sincere and sensitive way. I’d rather wait for a few hours to hear something genuine than to hear platitudes during a moment of extreme emotion.

With Saturday’s CyHawk game being such a heated rivalry — at least locally — I would hate to see one of the head coaches lose his cool, be it with the other coach, the refs, fans or a player, and tweet bulletin-board material right after the contest.

Granted, sports is part of entertainment, but it gets much more exposure and is usually more incendiary than it is with other entertainers. Then-New England Patriots linebacker Brandon Spikes took heat for the 2012 expletive he dropped on

replacement officials during the lockout, but imagine if a Broadway star did the same to a director? It would have to be an A-list star for most media to pick that story up.

It seems social media is more commonly a disastrous tool of self-inflicted aggravation of injury than it is a way to remedy a problem. Kansas State University probably drew more attention to last weekend’s marching band show when the band director and KSU President Kirk H. Schulz quickly took to Twitter to apologize to “anyone offended.”

That is probably the smart legal move for K-State, but it makes one wonder how much time a university band director and top college brass spend on social media. It would be great if the interns or paid staff who are assisting these well-compensated public employees were the ones advising their bosses on social media tactics and doing the monitoring of comments and re-posts and retweets.

Outside of college sports and

entertainment, there are other public figures who should leave social media to their staff as well.

I noticed not all state treasurers have social media accounts.

California is an exception, but that is a state that outgrew is financial and sociological britches long ago. There are about 18 million registered voters in that state, and I hope they soon choose to break the state up into several new states.

Federal elected officials and agency heads should have staffs to take care of social media, and I believe the military has fairly strict guidelines in this area.

Government officials or employees should not use social media to second-guess or encourage disobedience of unpopular directives; the phrase “not my president” is popular among voters, but shouldn’t be used at all by those paid with taxpayer dollars.

Attack on teachers

Letters to the Editor

Constitution Day is Sept. 17 Suzanne Van Zandt Newton I would like to remind everyone that it is once again the week that our United States Constitution was signed. It was signed Sept. 17, 1787 at the Pennsylvania State House (now Independence Hall) in Philadelphia, Pa. at 4 p.m.

Iowa can help prevent drug overdose deaths Sen. Rob Hogg Cedar Rapids Iowa families are needlessly losing sons, daughters, mothers and fathers to overdose deaths.

In 2013, nearly 100 Iowans died from opiate overdoses — a sharp increase over the last decade that has yet to receive an effective response from state leaders.

An individual dying from an overdose can linger for hours.

While there is often enough time to get help, the fear of criminal prosecution discourages other people from calling for help. In addition, opiate antidotes can dramatically slow or reverse the deadly effects of an overdose. Unfortunately, it is illegal for non-health care workers to possess or provide

I’m writing just to make sure each one of us doesn’t forget the patriots in our family who fought and maybe gave their life to make sure we could have the freedoms we have in the U.S. today. Each generation has done its part to make sure we are free. Let’s never forget any sacrifice given.

I would also like to thank the Newton Christian School K-sixth graders, and their teachers, for their artistic work that

can be seen at H & R Block and the Newton Public Library. They did a great job of coloring patriotic pictures for us. Come have a look.

Trace your family tree back and see if you have a patriot or two in your family line. It’s fun, you maybe surprised how heroic your family was. Please don’t forget to ring a bell at 4 p.m. on Sept. 17 for the time of the signing of our constitution.

this drug to overdose victims.

While we should do more to prevent opiate addictions through better public education and drug abuse treatment, we must do more to save lives now.

Other states have dramatically reduced overdose deaths by providing immunity to those who call for help for an overdose victim and by making it legal for more individuals to provide life-saving antidotes.

Here in Iowa, families want these same safeguards, and we should listen to them.

We should also listen to health professionals and paramedics like State Sen. Chris Brase, of Muscatine. S e n .

Brase has seen first-hand the senseless deaths Iowa families suffer due to opiate overdoses.

Last March, Sen. Brase helped convince the Iowa Senate to

cast an overwhelming bipartisan 44-2 vote in favor of Senate File 410.

Now it is up to the Iowa House and Gov. Branstad. I’m hopeful Linda Upmeyer, the new Speaker of the House, will make this a priority in the upcoming 2016 session. The legislation has already been unanimously approved by the Iowa House’s Public Safety Committee.

Opiate addiction affects many Iowa families. We should all pay attention to suffering Iowa families working to prevent additional tragedies. They are telling us how Iowans suffering from drug addiction have turned their lives around.

Let’s give them that chance.

Let’s make Iowa the next state to allow sensible, effective measures that will prevent overdose deaths.

Got an opinion? Let us know!

As the new school year begins, you might like to be updated on some school happenings that will no doubt be repeated this academic year. After this update, I have s o m e q u e s - By Walter E. tions one Williams might ask the black leadership.

The ongoing and escalating assault on primary- and secondary-school teachers is not a pretty sight. Holly Houston is a post-traumatic stress specialist. She counsels teachers in Chicago public schools and reported, “Of the teachers that I have counseled over the years who have been assaulted, 100 percent of them have satisfied diagnostic criteria for PTSD.” It’s not just big-city schoolteachers traumatized. Dr. Darlyne Nemeth, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, said last year, “I have treated many teachers with PTSD, and I am currently following a few of them.”

A Philadelphia seventh-grade girl with a history of incidents against her teacher sprayed perfume in the teacher’s face after telling her that she smelled “like old white pussy.” After telling her classmates “I’m about to kick this bitch’s white ass,” she shoved the teacher, knocking her to the floor.

In 2014, a Philadelphia 68-year-old substitute teacher was knocked out cold by a student. Earlier that year, two other teachers in the same school were assaulted. By the way, Philadelphia schools employ close to 400 school police officers.

In a school district near St. Louis, teachers have had pepper spray and dog repellent sprayed in their faces. A Baltimore teacher had his jaw broken. In Baltimore, each school day in 2010, an average of four teachers and staff were assaulted. A 325-pound high-school student in Houston knocked out his

66-year-old female teacher. Nationally, an average of 1,175 teachers and staff were physically attacked each day of the 2011-12 school year.

School violence is going to get worse. Last year, the Obama administration sent all the school districts in the country a letter warning them to avoid racial bias when suspending or expelling students. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan claimed that racial discrimination in the administration of discipline is “a real problem today. It’s not just an issue from 30 or 40 or 50 years ago.” Last year, in Washington, D.C., an official of a teachers union tried to explain to a national gathering of black elected officials why white teachers are so problematic for black students, saying they just do not understand black culture.

Excuses and calls for leniency will embolden school thugs.

What about student conduct in the 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s? Don’t take my word. Ask black congressional representatives, 46 percent of whom were born in the ‘20s, ‘30s or ‘40s. Start off with Reps. John Conyers (86), Charles Rangel (85), Eddie Bernice Johnson (79), Alcee Hastings (79) and Maxine Waters (77). Ask them whether their parents or kin would have tolerated their assaulting and cursing teachers or any other adult. Ask them what would have happened to them had they assaulted or cursed a teacher or adult. Ask whether their parents would have accepted the grossly disrespectful behavior seen among many black youngsters in public places — for example, using foul language and racial epithets. I’d bet the rent money that they won’t tell you that their parents would have called for a “timeout.” Instead, they will tell you that they would have felt pain in their hind parts. Then ask these leaders why today’s blacks should accept behavior that previous generations would not.

Monarch Madness at Neal Smith NWR On Saturday, Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge hosted “Monarch Madness,” an annual event that brings together members of the community to tag migrating monarch butterflies. This year’s event was a huge success.

Neal Smith NWR staff welcomed 40 stewardship volunteers. They packed the conference room and listened to Brianna Patrick, visitor services specialist, give a presentation about why and how the refuge and its volunteers should catch and tag monarchs.

She explained monarchs should be handled with care and that tagging monarchs provides researchers with more information about the migration routes they take and how factors like weather may influence their migration and survival. After the presentation, stewardship volunteers split into groups and searched different areas of the

refuge for monarchs.

Fortunately, monarchs were migrating through and volunteers were busy. Monarchs were easy to find, busily feeding and preparing for their fall migration. Volunteers of all ages captured monarchs and trium-

phantly emerged from the sea of grasses to present their prize to the rangers. Rangers would then tag the monarch with a small sticker on its hindwing. With the help of experienced volunteers, the rangers would also record the date.

Practice makes perfect when polishing your social skills DEAR ABBY: I’m 13 years old, and I want to know how I can make my life easier and not be as shy as I am. I have a lot of friends at school, but of course they’re not popular either. I want to still have those friends, but I’d like to be able to strike up conversations with other people. When I try, I get nervous and chicken out before I can get a word out.

I want to improve my communication skills and come across as more friendly and natural. My aunt told me you have a booklet that can help.

If you do, how do I get one? — NICOLE FROM NEVADA DEAR NICOLE: Everybody wants to be well-liked, accepted, feel needed, appreciated — and of course, loved. It’s essential to a person’s self-esteem to know other people think they’re worth having as a friend.

If you think you’re alone in being shy, let me assure you that you have lots of company. No one emerges from the womb knowing how to be social. It’s a skill that has to be developed. Like you, many others could use a little coaching on how to be the kind of person others find attractive, interesting and worth knowing.

Achieving it isn’t always easy because social skills don’t come naturally to everyone. My booklet “How to Be Popular” contains tips on how to approach others, and what to say and NOT say when trying to make conversation. You can order one by sending your name and address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds), to Dear Abby Popularity Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. When you get it, don’t just read it once. Keep it on hand for reference because it contains many helpful suggestions for polishing social skills — which, like any other skills, takes time, effort and practice.

DEAR ABBY: I have recently be-

gun a relationship with my biological father, “Frank,” after not seeing him since I was 4. My mother and stepfather raised me and I am very close to them. But after talking to Frank and meeting him face to face, I have gotten close to him as well.

His relationship with Mom ended badly. They were very young and he takes all the blame. Mom has always said that if I have a relationship with Frank, she wants no part of it. After I told her I have been talking to him for two years, she became upset and has been short with me and my wife ever since.

I want to continue to develop what I have with my biological father, but I’m not sure how to handle Mom if she’s going to be so hurt and upset over it. Can you advise? — ANDY IN GEORGIA DEAR ANDY: Tell your mother you have noticed a change in her behavior, and feel that she is punishing you for having an interest in knowing your biological father. If that’s the case, in the future do not discuss anything about Frank with her since she has made clear that she doesn’t want to hear it.

If you haven’t discussed this with your stepfather, please consider enlisting his help because he may be able to explain your feelings to your mother better than you can.

at Linn County landfill

MARION — A man has shown up to claim the wedding ring he lost at a landfill on the north side of Marion in Linn County. A landfill worker found the ring Saturday while cleaning an area near a line of outdoor trash bins at the Cedar Rapids/Linn County Solid Waste Agency site.

The gold man’s ring had an inscription on the inside that said “J.H.H. to W.W.S” and what looked like an anniversary date.

The man went to the landfill on Tuesday and was given back his ring.

crop duster pleads not guilty

EMMETSBURG — A trial has been scheduled next month for a 55-year-old man accused of firing a bullet that struck a crop-dusting plane in northern Iowa.

Online court records say John Metzger, of Whittemore, last week pleaded not guilty to charges of terrorism, stalking with a weapon, intimidation with a dangerous weapon and going armed with intent. His trial is set to begin on Oct. 13.

Man arrested in deaths of two men found dead DES MOINES — A 20-year-old man has been arrested in the deaths of two men whose bodies were found less than a block apart last week in Des Moines. Albert Jeffrey Garcia was arrested Tuesday evening and charged with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of 20-year-old Demetrius Thomas and 19-year-old Mohammad Nabeel Mirzai, both of Des Moines. Officers responded to a report Sept. 11 about someone who might be injured and found the body of one of the men.

Council OKs Union Pacific deal for city’s quiet zones MASON CITY — The council has approved an agreement with Union Pacific for quiet zones along the railroad’s northsouth line through Mason City.

The council voted unanimously for the deal Tuesday. Train horns still will sound at times for safety reasons.

Council member Travis Hickey acknowledged some concerns that the project would require closing the 9th Street Northwest crossing. But he and other council members say the deal’s benefits outweigh its drawbacks.

Obama nominates judge for role on US District Court in Iowa DES MOINES (AP) — President Barack Obama has nominated a judge to serve on a U.S. District Court representing Iowa.

Obama announced Tuesday that Rebecca Ebinger would be his nominee to serve as a judge on the court for the southern district of Iowa.

Ebinger has served as a state district judge in Iowa since 2012. Prior to that, she served as an assistant U.S. Attorney in the criminal division of the same U.S. court. She served in a similar role for the U.S. court for the northern district of Iowa from 2009 to 2011.

Ebinger’s other roles have included serving as a law clerk and special assistant U.S. Attorney. She received her law degree from Yale Law School in 2004.

Branstad schedules election to fill House seat DES MOINES (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad has scheduled a special election to fill the House District 5 seat left open by the resignation of Chuck Soderberg.

Branstad announced Tuesday that the election would be held Nov. 3 for the district that includes Plymouth County and part of Woodbury County.

Soderberg, a Republican from Le Mars, announced last month that he will resign from the Iowa House to become the executive vice president and general manager of the Iowa Association of Electric Cooperatives. His last day as a legislator was Monday.

Soderberg was elected to the House in 2004.

He became chairman of the chamber’s Appropriations Committee in 2013.

Shifting debate strategies, GOP hopefuls to take on Trump The Associated Press WA S H I N G T O N — In the first Republican presidential debate, most candidates took a hands-off approach to Donald Trump and hoped the brash billionaire would hurt himself.

Instead, he only got stronger.

Trump’s unexpected durability has led some of his rivals to shift their strategy for Wednesday’s second showdown.

Now their goal is to engage Trump, without inflicting any damage on their own campaigns.

The change reflects an evolution in the way Trump is viewed within the Republican Party.

No longer dismissed as a summer fling for frustrated voters, Republicans increasingly see Trump as a candidate who could remain atop the field for months and win some early states.

“He’s in complete, total control of the political battle space,” said Steve Schmidt, a top strategist for Sen. John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign.

Trump will be standing at center stage when the 11 candidates face off at the CNN-sponsored debate at the Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California. The lineup is the same as last month’s opening debate, with one notable addition: former Hewlett-Packard chief executive Carly Fiorina, the only woman in the GOP field.

It’s believed to be the largest debate field in modern political history, underscoring just how jumbled the fight for the Republican nomination remains with five months to go before the Iowa caucuses.

Trump heads into the second debate facing a fresh challenge from Ben Carson, a soft-spoken retired neurosurgeon who is climbing in recent polls. With his candidacy on the rise, Carson is likely to face heightened scrutiny from debate moderators.

But the biggest contrast in the GOP field — and the one that typifies the broader battle within the party

— continues between Trump and Jeb Bush, the wonky former Florida governor. Bush has become one of Trump’s favorite targets and has been visibly irritated by his jabs, particularly the reality star’s depiction of him as a “low energy” candidate.

After all but ignoring Trump in the first debate, Bush has gone after the GOP front-runner more aggressively while campaigning recently. People familiar with Bush’s debate plans say he’ll actively look for spots to target Trump, particularly for Trump’s uneven record as a conservative, but still wants to preserve space to pitch himself as an optimistic alternative.

“Real leaders are optimists — they show us a better way,” said Sally Bradshaw, Bush’s longtime adviser. “That’s what Jeb has always done, that’s what he’ll always do. Other candidates won’t change that, regardless of how noisy they are.”

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker has also fore-

DUBUQUE — Dozens of middle-school students in Dubuque have been tasked with writing an essay about whether they consider graffiti to be vandalism or art, as part of a writing standards component in the Iowa Core.

Heather Cairns, an eighth-grade language arts teacher at Thomas Jefferson Middle School, came up with the assignment after hearing about a street art gallery at Voices from the Warehouse District.

Cairns decided to assign the paper because she thought her students

would have a lot to say about the nature of graffiti.

On Monday, Cairns brought about 80 students in small groups to the gallery to learn more about street art and its culture.

Chad Witthoeft, a volunteer at Voices from the Warehouse District, started off the tour by explaining vandalism. He said vandalism is different than art because it detracts or takes away from the beauty of something.

“What’s the difference between art and graffiti (or vandalism)? It’s about 10,000 hours,” Witthoeft said.

Gryphon Metcalf, one

CNA’s, LPN’s & RN’s NEEDED Immediate Work Available

of Cairns’ students, came to the conclusion that graffiti can be both art and vandalism, depending on the artist’s intent. He said if the artist intends to create something beautiful, even if it’s created in a public space without permission, then his or her creation is art.

“Whether it’s determined a crime or not, it doesn’t change if it’s art,” Gryphon said.

Another student, Catherine Schueller, appreciated the graffiti featured at the gallery but had a harder time determining whether the pieces should be considered art or vandalism.

cast a more aggressive stance at Wednesday’s event. Once a favorite to win the Iowa caucus, Walker’s standing has plummeted after an unremarkable first debate and a series of other summer stumbles.

NCMP earns split in triangular meet Newton High

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News NCMP sophomore Morgann Eide, shown here at the team’s outdoor scrimmage at Maytag Pool in August, won the diving event at Tuesday’s triangular swim meet at Johnston.

JOHNSTON — In the middle of the swimming events, there is a break. It’s for the diving competition.

NCMP’s Morgann Eide took center stage and claimed the top place at Tuesday’s triangular meet with Southeast Polk and host Johnston. Eide amassed 234.90 points to win the 1-meter diving event with teammate Alivia Hoffman placing seventh with a score of 163.90.

“Both ladies were poised and competed very well,” NCMP head coach Sarah Patterson said. “It was fun for the swimmers to see the divers in action as we do not have a board at our pool for home meets.”

The NCMP Aquagirls went 1-1 in action overall Tuesday. Johnston won the meet with 280 points. NCMP was second with 203, which meant the Aquagirls notched a dual win over Southeast Polk, which had 170 points.

“It was a great meet for us overall. We challenged ourselves to go out fast and compete,” Patterson said. “I love to see us swim with heart and finish with courage.”

The Aquagirls opened the meet with a 1-3-4 run in the 200-yard medley relay.

The foursome of Sydney Jenkins, Hannah Rhoads, Samantha Hedrick and Alexis Stout won with season’s fastest time of 1 minute, 56.50 seconds.

Freshman Lyndsey

harriers run at Oskaloosa

Blommers took second place in the 100 breaststroke followed by Rhoads in fourth and Sierra Griffith in sixth.

Jenkins captured third in the 100 backstroke as Sarah Prendergast posted a personal-best time for fourth. Kaelee Knoll finished sixth followed

by Lakin Jenkins in seventh and Julia Prime in eighth.

Patterson said scoring went to nine places at the Johnston meet.

Placing five swimmers in the top nine, the Aquagirls captured more than half the scoring positions.

Hedrick led the NCMP 200 individual medley swimmers with a third-place finish followed by Rhoads in sixth. Madeline Webb moved to a new event and was seventh in 2:28.27. Sarah Urias dropped 10 seconds from her best time, getting down to 2:49.49, and Jessica Zahn had a best time of 2:35.43.

Stout was fifth in the 50 freestyle, then turned around to post a personal-best time of 1:05.52 for third in the 100 butterfly. Elizabeth Myers was fourth in the butterfly in 1:06.55, and Emily Miller had a breakthrough time of 1:06.65.

Patterson said Lynae Doland, Morgan Altman and Janna Balek had season or personal best times in swimming the 100 butterfly Tuesday.

“They showed good mental toughess,” Patterson said.

OSKALOOSA — The young runners for Newton High’s girls continue to compete well as the season moves along. Two freshmen and a sophomore led the Cardinal girls to a third-place finish at Tuesday’s Oskaloosa Invitational cross country meet.

“I am very proud of all of the girls. We’ve had setbacks this season, but they remain a Rhoads tight team and are always supportive of each other,” Newton girls’ coach Rachelle Tipton said. “Of course, it would be great if everyone were able to run at each meet, but when it comes down to it a coach wants athletes who work hard, get along and remain posBriley itive; that is this team.”

Oskaloosa won the girls’ team title on its home course with 43 points. Williamsburg was second with 55 points and Newton placed third with 74.

Ottumwa was fourth with 111 points. There were 11 teams comKeeton peting in the meet.

Newton’s boys finished fifth. No team scores were available.

“This is usually a good course for us, and tonight was no exception We had a lot of great performances and beat a team which had beaten us earlier in the Callahgan season,” Tipton said.

Cyclones’ run game can’t get off ground AMES (AP) — Iowa State can’t seem to run the ball and their season largely depends on turning that around.

Iowa State rushed for only 63 yards last weekend in a 3117 home loss to rival Iowa.

The Hawkeyes leaned heavily on defending the pass and shut out Iowa State in the second half.

The Cyclones (1-1) are dead last among Power Five teams at 70 yards rushing per game. It doesn’t get any easier Saturday at Toledo: The Rockets are coming off an upset of then-ranked Arkansas in Little Rock.

“I continue to talk about the running game because it’s not going away. It’s something you have to do. You can’t abandon it,” Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said.

Even though the Cyclones are severely inexperienced in the backfield, their poor execution against the Hawkeyes was more about their linemen than anything else. That’s a bad sign for Iowa State, which believed its line would be better this season.

The Cyclones have four upperclassmen blocking for its four-man rotation of backs, none of whom have more than 200 career yards on the ground. But guard Daniel Burton should return to the starting lineup after battling back from knee surgery.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa State sophomore Tyler Brown has gained 87 yards in 20 carries so far this season but 34 of those yards came on this play against Northern Iowa. The Cyclones as a team are once again looking for answers to a struggling ground game.

“It’s the little stuff. Steps, hands, bent knees,” guard Wendell Taiese said.

Rhoads also hinted Monday that Iowa State’s offensive coaches, led by Mark Mangino, will look to switch up some of its schemes to help the offense.

“I don’t know if it’s just all offensive line,” he said. “Our coaching staff needs to give them some help. The easy answer to that is ... to move (op-

ponents) downfield to allow the ball carrier more space to run in. Now, how can I help you get that done as a coaching staff?”

There’s still time for the Cyclones to fix their ground game.

They’ve got a bye next week and then a home game against Kansas, which is 0-2 and surrendering an average of 48 points per game. Iowa State does have a senior quarterback

Colfax-Mingo begins SICL play with loss to Belle Plaine

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — A competitive opening set allowed Belle Plaine to take early momentum in a South Iowa Cedar League match against Colfax-Mingo on Monday night, and the Tigerhawks couldn’t completely recover in their home opener.

Belle Plaine Wilson (9-8 overall, 3-1 in SICL) won the first set in “overtime” and took down Colfax-Mingo in four sets, winning 26-24, 25-18, 15-25, 25-10.

Ries Wilson had 17 kills and seven digs to lead the Tigerhawks (2-3, 0-2), and Megan Earles finished with 17 assists, 11 digs and two aces. Chelsea Russell had 12 digs and Colbee Cunningham recorded four of C-M’s eight aces.

Colfax-Mingo was 72-of-78 in serves. Dakota Hostetter was 15-of-15, Cunningham was 21of-22 and Earles was 15-of-16.

Hostetter added six kills.

Colfax-Mingo, which lost in straight sets to Class 1A No. 9 Iowa Valley on Tuesday, returns to SICL action at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Colfax against Sigourney.

WR VandeBerg coming up big for Iowa IOWA CITY (AP) — Junior Matt VandeBerg has quickly become one of Iowa’s most dangerous receivers.

VandeBerg might end up finishing the year as the Hawkeyes top option if he keeps playing like he has so far.

The unheralded VandeBerg had his breakout game in a 31-17 win over Iowa State.

VandeBerg caught nine passes for 114 yards to help the Hawkeyes (2-0) snap a 17-all tie in the closing minutes.

VandeBerg has made the most of opposing game plans focused on stopping senior Tevaun Smith. He leads the Big Ten with 15 catches — one more than he had all of last season — heading into Saturday’s home game against Pittsburgh (2-0).

“Matt’s been (improving) on a steady plane. You never know where the ball is going to go. Fortunately when it went his way the other day he made some beautiful catches,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said.

VandeBerg always exceeded the modest expectations that were set for him in his first two seasons. But Smith, who led Iowa with 596 yards receiving in 2014, appeared to be the only certainty among Iowa’s pass catchers heading into the year.

The Hawkeyes were desperate for someone to emerge as a concern for opponents beyond Smith.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa junior wide receiver Matt VandeBerg (89) hauled in nine passes for 114 yards against Iowa State on Saturday and is proving to be a worthy compliment to No. 1 receiver Tevaun Smith.

Through two games, VandeBerg has been that guy.

VandeBerg, who caught 18 touchdown passes as a senior at Brandon Valley High in South Dakota, showed enough in his first fall camp that the Hawkeyes chose to play him immediately. VandeBerg had eight catches as a freshman and even started twice.

VandeBerg only started once last season, but he helped out in the return game and racked up 256 receiving yards, a healthy 18.3 yards per reception.

At 6-foot-1 and 185 pounds, VandeBerg has been easy for opponents to overlook.

After a stellar fall camp, he’s made them pay for not paying attention to him in 2015.

VandeBerg had six catches in a blowout of Illinois State in the opener, and he followed it up with the best game of his career against the Cyclones.

“He can beat one-on-one coverage ... whenever they want to roll the safety to the other side, they’ve got oneon-one coverage on Matt,” Smith said of VandeBerg, who was unavailable to reporters Tuesday because of a scheduling conflict.

The emergence of VandeBerg as one of Iowa’s top weapons on offense should only help open things up for Smith.

But the extra attention Smith has been getting has also helped VandeBerg earn the trust of new starting quarterback C.J. Beathard.

VandeBerg was the first player last weekend to top 100 yards receiving since tight end Jake Duzey did it against Illinois last year.

“He’s a little undersized.

But he does a great job of what he can do. He’s a really fast guy, and a guy with great hands,” Beathard said. “And he’s a guy that I love to see out there because I know he’s going to be where I want him to be at all times.

in Sam Richardson and several talented receivers.

But the Cyclones struggled to run the ball last year, too, and only Tulane, Central Florida and Western Michigan have fewer yards per game so far.

“We’ve got our people.

We’re playing our folks,” Rhoads said. “It has to deal with scheme and what we can adjust, what we can change to be more fruitful.”

Mustangs lose in straight sets to HOIC foe South Hamilton

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News JEWELL — Prairie City-Monroe didn’t make it easy, but South Hamilton won its eighth straight match Tuesday when the Hawks downed the Mustangs in straight sets.

PCM got seven kills, eight digs Van Gorp and three aces from senior Ashley Van Gorp but South Hamilton improved to 10-4 overall and 2-0 in Heart of Iowa

Conference play after the 25-20, 25-19, 25-19 win.

PCM also got 18 assists and four kills from Kayla Jennings.

Maddie Samson and Katie Vande Wall each had four kills, Tatum Nearmyer chipped in seven digs and the Mustangs had nine aces while serving 47-of-59.

“They played hard and we’re getting better every day,” PCM coach Krystal Ehn said.

PCM (2-11, 1-2) plays at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at Gilbert and then plays at Greene County on Sept. 24.

Camilla Schlosser swam her first 200 and did very well,” Patterson said. “Overall, this is an event where we have to go out faster, hang on, and really show some grit. We are tentative, backing off, and not showing our best mental toughness.

I am confident we can push through in training and make this event shine.”

Webb and Sydney Jenkins cracked the top six in the 100 freestyle race as Webb was third in 57.93 seconds and Jenkins in fifth at 58.47. Jaclyn Michner swam a 1:08.19, which was her best time, and Cheyenne Schaeffer and Miranda Ervin each had personal-best times, Patterson said.

Stout, Myers, Miller and Hedrick combined to lowered their season time to 1:44.07 for third place. The B-team of Knoll, Prendergast, Griffith and Rhoads was fourth.

Caelyn missed the last race but came back strong tonight,” Tipton said. “She pushed to get the girls she needed to and it earned her a top 10 spot.

“Tessa had an outstanding race. She looked great, and I am excited for her to earn a medal. Ellie also had a stand out night and looked strong through the second half.”

Abbie Barr, another freshman, took 26th in 24:37 followed by junior Katherine Thorpe in 38th in 26:52 and freshman Courtney Ingle in 55th at 30:33.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.

16). You expect and receive better on all accounts this year.

Before the end of the year, you’ll do work out of your heart’s goodness and will turn down the rewards offered, only to receive even richer and unavoidable rewards. Re-

lationships change and grow through 2016. There will be a big party in your honor. Aries and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 3, 11, 38 and 17.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Don’t let the complainers bring you down, and don’t buy in, either. It’s immature to think that contentment shouldn’t be work. You’ve long known that everything is work. Getting used to that idea is part of growing up.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Ask for what you want. If you don’t know who to ask, ask the sky. Astrologically, the

odds are in your favor. At the very least, it will help you to verbalize your wishes.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Tread thoughtfully into the subject of money. Avoid acting on your knee-jerk impulses.

Finances are an intimate topic and even more so when they impact a special relationship today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

There are so many marketers targeting you on very specific products you’re presently intrigued by that you’d go broke if you followed them all.

That’s why you’re developing new rules about what has to happen to get you to “yes.”

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Some

Sure, it’s fun to tweet to people on different continents, play games with distant friends we’ve never seen and shop in the world’s shopping mall, but not if it comes at the expense of our closest relationships. As Jupiter opposes Neptune, don’t let the fantasy world of the Internet interfere with the true bounty of your real life.

suggest the soul is but a vapor.

Whether or not it’s true, today you’ll feel as though some wisp of you is intertwining and blending into the sparkling mist of another.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Those who come from Puritanical origins (even though these origins are several generations old) still struggle with the idea that having too much fun is wrong. But is there actually a good reason to put a damper on it?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ve been known to listen carefully and without distraction to whatever the other person wants to express (regardless of how well you know the person). Now don’t

you deserve a high quality of attention from others?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Remember that time when your good luck came to you in an envelope labeled “bad luck”? Well, it could happen again, and so don’t presume to know exactly how the fortunes will favor you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your talents are many, which is a blessing that makes it much more difficult for you to focus on just one. But focus you must -- especially if you’re going to reach that goal you made.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you can save someone from loneliness (you can and

you have), you’ll be saving that person from other related peril. All it takes is a conversation that reflects your genuine interest in the life of another.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Avoid those for whom overreaction is a favorite pastime.

Their episodes of outrage emit toxic bad vibes. Your way is to turn down the indignation and turn up the letting go.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Your rich imagination is a playground you use quite happily by yourself, but it would be even more fun to play there with others. Your vivid descriptions will bring them in.
