Newton, Iowa

DOT makes repairs on First Avenue

By Jamee A. Pierson Daily News Staff Writer

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News A major remodel took place over the past two years at the former Skate Castle, now West Gate, on the west side of Newton.

West Gate skating rink grand opening Wednesday

By Jamee A. Pierson Daily News Staff Writer West Gate is inviting the public to grab their skates and head to its opening Wednesday night at the remodeled skating rink, 1611 First Ave. W. “I started remodeling in August 2012, two years ago.

I started with tearing off the castle,” Gary Hussey, owner of West Gate said.

Hussey is currently in the process of buying the rink along with another rink in his native state of Ohio.

“It’s two of my dreams. I have always skated all of my life. My first (dream) was the military, I was in it 22 years and retired from that and this is my second dream,” Hussey said.

During the two year remodel, Hussey made a number of changes to the interior as well as the exterior of the 60-yearold building.

Most noticeable is the removal of the castle from the exterior of the building and the new exterior on the front of the building. Hussey shortened the entryway to make a larger

kitchen and also took out the office toward the front to make a larger party room. Both bathrooms were remodeled with new fixtures and updated styling. In the common area, new booths that were originally in the Newton Hy-Vee cafeteria replaced the benches. The benches found a new home along the west wall, near the skate cubbies.

The rink floor did not need a lot of maintenance, just a new finish, but an overhead beam had to be replaced as well as two others receiving metal bracing above where people skate, he said. Hussey replaced all of the windows around the rink and added two doors in the rear of the building. The D.J. corner was also expanded and re-carpeted.

In the front of the building, a larger second party room now has new doors to close off the room and there is also a new skate counter and skate storage area.

Hussey’s plan is to make the rink available for birthday parties, wedding receptions, conventions and other events.

He also hopes to get the speed skating club that previously practiced there back up and running in the Newton location, instead of them having to travel to Des Moines to practice. Another possible addition would be a roller derby team playing at the rink or a junior roller derby team former to compete with the junior team from Des Moines.

Aside from the skating rink, Hussey has big plans for the rest of the property. If the weather cooperates this fall, he hopes to begin work on a race kart track behind the building. In the spring, he plans on building a miniature golf course as well as filling in a pond for future sand volleyball courts.

West Gate is open weekly on Monday from 6 to 9:30 p.m., which is half price night, Wednesday from 6 to 10 p.m. for an adult skate including those 18 and older, Friday from 6 to 11 p.m., Saturday afternoon from 12 to 4 p.m. and from 6 to 11 p.m. and Sunday WEST GATE See Page 3A

Citizens traveling along First Avenue may have noticed a white paper on the road recently. The Iowa Department of Transportation, which maintains Highway 6 or First Avenue, did a five year maintenance by filling cracks along the road.

“The state did some crack sealing. It was five years ago they did an overlay from basically Highway 14 to the downtown area, to West Fourth Street,” Keith Laube, Newton Public Works Director said.

“What they did was a five year maintenance plan, they came in and crack sealed.”

There are typically three options for sealing cracks in the road.

The Iowa DOT chose to put a very thin paper along with the tar sealant in the cracks so cars could continue to travel on the road.

“Most people see it on the freeway because they can’t close down the freeway and don’t want to put down any grit on the freeway so they use the paper. With the traffic, it gets pulverized pretty quickly,” Laube said.

Another option would be to close the street for a half a day and allow the sealant to cool, dry and harden.

“The crack sealant is warm material so it can be pulled out by tires,” Laube said. The third option, which the city uses frequently, is to put IDOT See Page 3A

Ghost investigation group coming to Newton

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

Ty Rushing/Daily News The former Jasper County Care Facility, pictured, is rumored to be one of the most haunted locations in the area. Later this month, the Iowa Paranormal Advanced Research Team will come to Newton to give a presentation on their craft and share tales of haunted happenings in Iowa.

They may not be the Ghostbusters, but when Iowans need someone to call and deal with the supernatural, the Iowa Paranormal Advanced Research Team is always ready to investigate.

With rumored haunts such as the former Jasper County Care Facility and the Sugar Grove Cemetery, Newton is no stranger to dealing with ghastly findings, however, IPART won’t be investigating those. In-

stead, it will give a special program from 6 to 8 p.m. on Oct. 16 at the Newton Public Library.

Nicole Lindstrom, Newton public services librarian, said around this time of the year, patrons have shown a great interest in displays featuring ghost stories and paranormal activities.

“To tap into that audience I looked around on the Internet and asked fellow librarians to recommend good paranormal speakers, and IPART was mentioned more than once. They are

part of the TAPS association, and I am really excited to hear their program,” Lindstrom said. “I’ve always had an interest in the paranormal and this stemmed a bit from me wanting to know more and entertain others at the same time.”

Lindstrom believes the last time the library held a similar presentation, was in 2010 when the Iowa Ghost Hunters made an appearance.

First Christian Church celebrates 150 years

By Jamee A. Pierson Daily News Staff Writer The First Christian Church is celebrating its 150th anniversary at 7 p.m. Saturday with an old fashioned ice cream social in the Fellowship Hall at the church, 314 E. Second St. N. There will also be old-time singing and church memorabilia on display.

As a part of the sesquicentennial celebration, the church performed the musical “Smoke on the Mountain” last weekend. The church is also accepting canned goods donations for the Salvation Army through the end of October. To cap off the festivities there will be a special church service held at 10:15 a.m.

Sunday with a chicken and noodles luncheon to follow. Reservations for the luncheon can be made by calling the church office at (641) 792-5850. Members of the community are welcome to attend all events.

“This is an exciting time for

First Christian Church. We have a rich history that dates back 150 years and an exciting future in the years to come,” Pastor Mark Young said. “Our theme verse for our celebration is Hebrew 13:8, ‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.’ Church methods and policy have changed over the years but the gospel message is as exciting as it was 150 years ago. We look forward to a great celebration.”

The First Christian Church began in the spring of 1864 as the Christian Church when N.A. McConnell and Allen Hickey called a meeting of citizens in an unknown location interested in forming a church.

A lot was purchased in 1871 at the corner of East North Street and North Olive Street, which is now North Fourth Avenue East and East Second Street North, where the church still currently stands. It was dedicated on Feb. 25, 1872 with 16 charter members.

A second church was built between 1893 and 1894 in the same location and was dedicated on Feb. 25, 1894. Not long after the completion of the church, the congregation began planning for a Christian education building. Located on the east side of the church, the Bible School building was dedicated on Jan. 25, 1914 and at the time was the only one fully devoted to Bible teaching. It housed a swimming pool that was originally church-run but later leased by the school as well as the YMCA. The YMCA used the pool until its own building and pool were opened in 1926.

The current church was built in two phases with the education and fellowship on the south and new sanctuary to the north. It was all complete by the summer of 1973.

Western Muslims, troubled, rally against extremism PARIS (AP) — In tweets, in street gatherings and in open letters, moderate Muslims around the world are insisting that Islamic State extremists don’t speak for their religion. Many are also frustrated that anyone might think they do, and a backlash has already begun.

This week’s videotaped beheading of a French mountaineer by militants linked to the Islamic State group prompted heartsick fury among Muslims in France and elsewhere in Europe, torn between anger at the atrocities committed in the name of Islam and frustration that they have to defend themselves at all.

Herve Gourdel was the fifth Western hostage decapitated in recent weeks by Islamic extremists — this time, the militants said, as revenge for France’s decision to join airstrikes against the Islamic State group.

The head of France’s largest mosque called for Muslims to rally Friday in Paris to condemn Gourdel’s slaying and show unity against terrorism, saying Islamic State’s “deadly ideology” had nothing to do with Islam. Within hours of the call, the rector of the Bordeaux mosque, Tareq Oubrou, said French Muslims need not demonstrate in the name of Islam — but should be joined by everyone.

“They are doubly affected, because this crime touched one of our countrymen and because this crime was carried out in the name of our religion,” Oubrou told RTL radio.

The same debate played out elsewhere. The

hashtag campaign #notinmyname — or #pasenmonnom in French — initiated by British Muslims who wanted to show their opposition to extremist violence, spawned a #MuslimApologies backlash by those who thought the sense of regret was overwrought. Tweets “apologized” for algebra, soap and coffee.

“Nowhere does the Quran say other religions or nations must be attacked. Cutting people’s heads off is really the most despicable. If airstrikes can stop these fundamentalist, aggressive ideas from spreading, I am all for it,” said 65-year-old Enes Mustafic.

Another congregant, Omer Jamak, questioned the devotion and even sanity of anyone who thought otherwise.

“According to Islam, nobody is allowed to be evil to others. Nobody has the right to do such a thing. I am against everything they do down there like every sane person is,” Jamak said.

U.S. Muslim leaders and scholars issued an open letter Wednesday denouncing Islamic State militants point by point, notably on “the killing of innocents” and jihad.

Muqtedar Khan, professor of political science at the University of Delaware and author of “American Muslims, Bridging Faith and Freedom,” said Muslim condemnations after the 9/11 attacks failed to dent the reach of extremists.

“Muslims have gotten really tired of these groups that bring nothing, that have no positive impact at all among their societies,” Khan said.

Midwest economy: September state-by-state glance

IPART Continued from Page 1A “I will say that if this program is a success that we will again have it next year and look into similar programming ideas for adults and teens.”

IPART is a group that says it is made up of mainstream people who are both believers in the paranormal or afterlife, as well as skeptics. The group’s mission is to investigate any activity that is suspected to be paranormal or can’t be explained by normal means and finding a conclusion on whether the matter is of an otherworldly nature or not.

The library is offering this show free of charge to anyone who would like to attend; no library card is required.

This show is for all ages, but Lindstrom does offer some advice to parents.

“I think it would be wise for any child to be accompanied by an adult or guardian. Some of the material may be a bit spooky, depending on if you believe or not,” Lindstrom said.

The Institute for Supply Management, formerly the Purchasing Management Association, began formally surveying its membership in 1931 to gauge business conditions.

The Creighton Economic Forecasting Group uses the same methodology as the national survey to consult supply managers and business leaders.

Creighton University economics professor Ernie Goss oversees the report.

The overall index ranges between 0 and 100. Growth neutral is 50, and a figure greater than 50 indicates an expanding economy over the next three to six months.

Here are the state-by-state results for September: Iowa The overall index for August fell to a tepid 51.5, from 58.3 in August. It was the third consecutive month the reading has

declined. Components of the index were new orders at 48.3, production or sales at 45.1, delivery lead time at 62.4, employment at 52.2, and inventories at 49.5. “Iowa’s manufacturing sector, both durable and nondurable goods producers, are experiencing much slower growth than recorded earlier in the year,” Goss said. “Weaker grain prices are spilling over into the broader state economy.” Average weekly wages have expanded by 3.1 percent in the last year, Goss said.

North Dakota The overall index climbed to 61.8 from 60.7 in August. Components were new orders at 62.7, production or sales at 58.5, delivery lead time at 72.5, employment at 59.2, and inventories at 56.3. “Economic growth will remain healthy for the second half of 2014 for the state based on our surveys over the last several months,” Goss said. “Since

Government confirms first case of Ebola in US DALLAS (AP) — The first case of Ebola diagnosed in the U.S. was confirmed Tuesday in a patient who recently traveled from Liberia to Dallas — a sign of the far-reaching impact of the outof-control epidemic in West Africa.

The unidentified man was critically ill and has been in isolation at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital since Sunday, federal health officials said.

They would not reveal his nationality or age.

Authorities have begun tracking down family, friends and anyone else who may have come in close contact with him and could be at risk for becoming ill. But officials said there are no other suspected cases in Texas.

At the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Director Tom Frieden said the man left Liberia on Sept. 19, arrived the next day to visit relatives and started feeling ill four or five days later. He said it was not clear how the patient became infected.

There was no risk to any fellow airline passengers because the man had no symptoms when he was traveling, Frieden said.

Ebola symptoms can include fever, muscle pain, vomiting and bleeding, and can appear as long as 21 days after exposure to the virus. The disease is not contagious until symptoms begin, and it takes close contact with bodily fluids to spread.

“I have no doubt that we’ll stop this in its tracks in the U.S. But I also have no doubt, that as long as the outbreak continues in Africa, we need to be on our guard,” Frieden told reporters.

“It is certainly possible that someone who had contact with this individual, a family member or other individual, could develop Ebola in the coming weeks,” he added. “But there is no doubt in my mind that we will stop it here.”

Blood tests by Texas health officials and the CDC separately confirmed an Ebola diagnosis on Tuesday.

Ty’s Take

Learning why corn matters

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

My two year mark of becoming an Iowan is quickly approaching, and I’ve learned a lot about what that designation means.

It means you have to pick a side: Hawkeyes or Cyclones (I still have 0 percent interest in either team, Go Jayhawks.) It means you have to know how to make a dish that either involves the word taco or pizza or brag about Casey’s taco pizza.

Being an Iowan means being kind to and wanting to help your fellow man, and it means knowing the difference between a Level B road and gravel road — two things I had never driven on before moving here.

It also means being aware of the importance of agriculture and its overall impact on just about everything in this state.

This agricultural epiphany hit me, as simple as it sounds, as I was looking at a corn field one day. As you all know, corn is everywhere in Iowa, which is why

we are the top corn producing state in the nation and the true cornhuskers.

Before moving here, corn was just that delicious quasi-vegetable that made popcorn, tasted great off the grill and came from a can to me. Whenever my friends from Kansas City come up, I always point out to them that yes, corn will be everywhere up here.

You go to Walmart, corns growing next to it. You go to Iowa Speedway, corn is growing near the infield and around the facility. You go to a golf course, corn is growing behind the back nine and the list of examples is endless.

I used to think, “what is their obsession with corn up here?”

Now, I know.

Corn means jobs. Corn means a strong economy. Corn means fuel and so many other things. It took a while for this to wash over me, but I get it. Corn is more than a starchy side dish, corn is a part of the economic foundation

Wednesday, Oct. 1, 2014 of the state.

When I was told that I’m the Daily News’ ag reporter last January, I was placed in perhaps the most fish out water scenario one could be placed in. A city boy who never stepped foot on farm before, not even for a school field trip, was tasked with learning about and reporting on in important agricultural issues.

Piece of cake right?

Well trust me, it wasn’t. Ag was/is the most difficult beat for me to cover and it has the steepest learning curve. Despite my struggles with it, I’ve grown to the love the challenge that it brings to me and just the incredible amount of diversity it brings under one banner.

Experiencing those obstacles and trials in this beat is what helped grant my corn epiphany. I now know that’s why non-farmers talk about drought when their morning coffee groups meet, why it’s important to know that BU

stands for bushels and not bundles, and why most farmers, in my experience, don’t like to discuss how many acres they have.

So the next time you get caught behind a giant tractor or combine on the streets or highway, (another Iowa exclusive experience for me) do what I do. Take a deep breath and remember that active farmers are a good thing, and that as annoying as going 20 miles per hour on a 55 mile per hour road is, the corn harvest is a good thing for all of us.

Plus, as a bonus, who doesn’t love to brag about being first in something? If all the predictions are correct, this is going to be the largest harvest in history and Iowa should retain the Corn Crown again. I don’t know about you guys, but I like being part of a winning team.

Maytag Dairy Farms a Newton favorite

Physician Payments Sunshine Act Consumers have more information about the products they use than ever before, but health care is still behind the curve. A lot of smart people believe health care costs would go down and quality would improve if we pulled back the curtain on where the money goes.

For my part, I know transparency improves just about every situation in the public interest. Members of Congress are held accountable through financial disclosure forms.

The Freedom of Information Act opens federal agencies to scrutiny.

Tax-exempt organizations have to disclose their basic financial information as part of their special tax treatment.

Several years ago, it started to become clear how little public information exists on the financial relationships between doctors and pharmaceutical and medical device companies.

A doctor would not tell The New York Times how much money she received from the maker of the antipsychotic drug Seroquel. The doctor was behind a study recommending the drug for bipolar disorder in teenagers, even though only eight teens completed the study. She later disclosed receiving income from eight drug companies, including all five makers of drugs like Seroquel.

Baylor College of Medicine didn’t tell the National Institutes of Health that a researcher who was studying cholesterol-lowering drugs for NIH also received payments from a drug company to consult on a cholesterol-lowering drug. That drug appeared to be no more effective than less expensive drugs.

At Stanford University, the chairman of psychiatry received an NIH grant to study a drug while partially owning as much as $6 mil-

lion in stock in a company that was seeking U.S. Food and Drug Administration approval of that drug. After exposure, the NIH removed the individual from the

By Chuck grant.

Grassley At Harvard U.S. Senator University, three professors failed to report almost $1 million each in outside income while heading up several federal research grants. In response to my oversight, Harvard revised its conflict of interest policies and conducted an internal investigation of these professors.

No one knows exactly how much money flows from drug and device companies to doctors. The media organization ProPublica and the website Pharmashine mined payment information from court cases and other disclosures. In their latest update, they concluded drug companies paid more than $4 billion to doctors from 2009 to 2013. That’s just a snapshot. The total number is likely much higher.

Doctors say they maintain their integrity and receive payments to research new medicines and medical devices for patient benefit or receive compensation for their time in educating other doctors about products they consider effective.

The doctors rightly point out that such payments are perfectly legal, unlike kickbacks to steer prescribers toward certain drugs. But studies have shown that exposure to a prescription drug on the lecture circuit or in the lab leads to more prescriptions for that drug, whether the doctor feels influ-

enced or not.

Purists advocate an all-out ban on any payments or other items of value, such as trips and meals, from drug and medical device companies to doctors. Some medical schools and health care providers voluntarily have adopted restrictions.

What about the doctors who receive the outside money and want to continue that way? Rather than interfere with the practice of medicine, Congress arrived at transparency as the solution.

Drug companies and device makers are free to continue giving payments for lectures and scientific research and picking up the tab for meals and trips to conferences, but the companies have to disclose each payment to each doctor by name. The data will be in a publicly available database for consumer, think tank and reporter use.

This is the idea of the Physician Payments Sunshine Act, developed by then-Sen. Herb Kohl and me, and enacted in 2010. After years of data reporting, database mechanical work, and review of accuracy from doctors, the data became public for the first time Tuesday.

My staff sought and received regular briefings from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), which is handling the project.

The roll-out won’t be perfect.

We’re told some of the data made public initially will be presented without the doctors’ names.This is because a small percentage of data submitted by the drug and device companies had blatant errors, and CMS made the decision to de-identify a large portion of the data in an overabundance of caution to protect doctors.

Maytag Dairy Farms is one of my favorite places in Newton.

I love M a y tag Blue Cheese, but they a l s o h a v e wonderful people that By Linda Bacon w o r k Newton Convention there. and Visitors Bureau When you walk through the door, you are always greeted with a smiling face and warm welcome. And then, you’re asked if you’d like to sample the many varieties of cheeses available. They’ll share ideas with you on how to use the cheeses and also have many recipe cards available for you to take using Maytag Blue. But, if you’ve never tried blue cheese, or if you don’t think you like blue cheese, then you should really try the Maytag Blue; because it is not like any other you’ll try.

Personally, I didn’t think I liked blue cheese; but boy was I wrong.

Myrna Ver Ploeg, president of Maytag Dairy Farms, suggested I try their cheese on a cracker and drizzle it with just a little bit of honey. BAM!!! I’ve been hooked ever since; and now am a true lover of Maytag Blue Cheese and eat it straight on the cracker and lots of other ways. They certainly know what good customer service is at Maytag Dairy Farms.

Now, more about that cheese! Maytag Blue Cheese continues to be handcrafted on the family farm in the rolling hills of central Iowa.

The story of this wonderful cheese starts, not surprisingly, with a herd of prizewinning dairy cows. In 1919, E.H. Maytag, the grandson of German immigrants, established a herd of Holsteins that by the 1930s had garnered farm in competitions across the country.

In 1940, his son, Fred Maytag, heard about a new process for blue cheese being developed at Iowa State University; which for those that aren’t from Iowa reading this, is nearby in Ames.

Fred applied that process to the milk of his Grand Champion Holstein herd, and in 1941, the first wheels of Maytag Blue Cheese were put into their caves for aging. As with all natural foods, the geography, climate, and terrain all impact the flavor of cheese. A taste of Maytag Blue is a taste of this place — the grass, the sunlight and the seasons.

Maytag Dairy Farms is still owned and operated by the grandchildren and greatgrandchildren of E.H. Maytag. His legacy is the pleasure and joy taken from good food shared with people you cherish, and they are proud to be a part of it.

But, blue cheese isn’t the only thing produced at Maytag Dairy Farms.

Did you know they grow and sell their own popcorn right on the farm? It isn’t microwave popcorn, that’s for sure.

And this year they have even grown pumpkins.

If you would like to experience Maytag Dairy Farms first hand, you’re in luck! On Saturday, they are having their annual Harvest Party from 1 to 4 p.m. You’ll have an opportunity to pick your own popcorn and take it home, enjoy some of their favorite blue cheese and popcorn recipes and other refreshments, take a surrey wagon ride pulled by Percheron horses down to the plant and take a tour, and much more. Of course, you can buy as much cheese as you like before you leave!

Take a quick trip just north of Newton and visit Maytag Dairy Farms. You’ll be glad you did. If you would like more information on Maytag Dairy Farms, check out its website at www.maytagdairyfarms. com.

Truck driver spreading herpes is out of ex-wife’s control DEAR ABBY: Last year I found a bottle of Valtrex in my husband’s car.

He had been taking the medicine for months.

When I asked him about it, he lied. I was devastated when I realized I had been exposed to herpes.

He actually tried to say he got it from me, but later he admitted that he had been stepping out with random women while working out of town.

(He’s a truck driver.) I had a blood test and thankfully I didn’t catch it.

What is the doctor’s responsibility in informing the spouse? I’m sure my ex is going to sleep around and infect others. We are divorced now, so I’m free of his lying and cheating, but I am fearful for others. He’s so lowdown that he will spread it to other women and not care. Should I be concerned, or should I just leave it alone since he’s not my problem anymore? — HEARTBROKEN IN ALABAMA DEAR HEARTBROKEN: Unless your husband gave his physician permission to reveal his medical status to you, the doctor was bound by HIPAA regulations, and by law could not warn you that your husband had an STD. (Yes, I agree this aspect of the law is disgusting.)

Much as you might wish to, there’s nothing you can do to control your former spouse’s behavior. My doctor tells me that herpes is most contagious during an outbreak. The risk is far less when the person is not shedding the virus. Valtrex further decreases the chances of spreading it, although it’s still possible.

If the result of the blood test you were given was negative, then you have never been exposed. However, if you have any symptoms, such as itching or swollen lymph nodes in your groin, you should let your OB/GYN know right away.

DEAR ABBY: My 57-year-old sister has had many career problems.

She’s well-educated, personable, professional and punctual, but she quits or is let go from one job after another within weeks because “it wasn’t a good fit.” She seems to be holding out for what she had 25 years ago — a well-paying position supervising clerks. But jobs like that don’t exist anymore.

She’s excellent at working with small children and the elderly and has significant experience doing so, but she believes such jobs are “beneath” her. I’m her only close relative, and I’m afraid she’ll eventually turn to me for financial support — something my husband and I cannot afford to provide. What can I do or say to make her realize that a STEADY JOB is what she really needs for the next 10 years? — SENSIBLE SIB IN ARIZONA DEAR SENSIBLE SIB: Tell your sister exactly what you have written to me: “Sis, what you need is a steady job for the next 10 years, because if you’re counting on support from me, I’m telling you now my husband and I can’t afford to give it to you.” It’s short, sweet, and it may be the wakeup call she needs before it’s too late.

vehicular homicide

IOWA CITY — An animal welfare group is asking the U.S. Department of Agriculture to investigate the death of four rabbits used for research at the University of Iowa. A USDA routine inspection report from August found four rabbits died in June during a study. The report says the animals died of unexpected study complications. The USDA report says the researchers did provide care for the animals, but didn’t contact or consult with a veterinarian about their health.

2 Deadly crash postpones Iowa school homecoming SIOUX CENTER — High school officials in northwestern Iowa have postponed homecoming as the community mourns the death of two students in a crash this week.

semitrailer crash

Iowa this week

DES MOINES — A portion of Interstate 35 in central Iowa has reopened after a crash involving a semitrailer closed it for several hours.

West Des Moines police say the crash happened Tuesday morning after a northbound semitrailer struck construction barriers just south of Iowa Highway 5 and overturned. The truck’s fuel tank ruptured and spilled diesel across the highway. The semitrailer struck a second semitrailer in the opposite direction. Two smaller vehicles then hit the second semitrailer.

DES MOINES — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will appear in Iowa this week at a campaign event with Gov. Terry Branstad and congressional candidate Rod Blum. Branstad’s campaign says Christie will speak at a rally in Cedar Rapids on Friday.

Branstad is running for a sixth nonconsecutive term. Recent polls have showed him with a sizable lead against Democratic opponent Jack Hatch.

—The Associated Press

Senate Oversight panel approves 18 recommendations DES MOINES (AP) — The Senate Government Oversight Committee on Tuesday voted to pass 18 recommendations to the Iowa Legislature for consideration next year including a ban on secret settlement agreements and expanded whistleblower protections.

The committee Peterson of three Democrats and two Republicans voted 3-2 on party lines Tuesday to accept the committee’s findings and recommendations after six months of meetings in which dozens of state workers and administrators were called to testify under oath.

The committee began in April looking into the practice of offering fired state workers settlement agreements which in some cases paid the workers to remain silent about their firing. After the hearings began, state workers began contacting committee members about many other issues including alleged improper hiring practices, the exertion of political influence over judges hearing unemployment cases and awarding of state construction contracts without taking bids.

The recommendations include a ban on secret settlement agreements, expanded protections for whistleblowers, requirements that all state jobs are publicly advertised and new policies that ensure workers placed on a do-not-hire

list are afforded proper due process.

Other recommendations would require competitive bidding for state construction projects above $100,000, a requirement that major infrastructure changes be approved by the legislative committee that appropriated the money and changes that prohibit political appointees from supervising judges that decide unemployment cases.

Sen. Janet Petersen, the Des Moines Democrat who chairs the committee, said she also wants changes in the way unemployed Iowans call Iowa Workforce Development to claim unemployment benefits, a change that could cost millions of dollars and needs careful review by legislative budget committees.

She also said IWD Director Teresa Wahlert is unlikely to win confirmation from the Senate if Democrats maintain their thin majority in November’s election and Gov. Terry Branstad wins and reappoints Wahlert.

“I don’t see a clear path for her to get reappointed through the Iowa Senate,” Petersen said.

IWD spokeswoman said Wahlert is not focused on reappointment.

“The recommendations put forth for IWD are all items the department currently does,” said Kerry Koonce. “For example, there was a recommendation to update the claimant phone system. This has already been in process. Unemployment is a federally funded system and IWD has repeatedly

sought out additional funding to promote the technology upgrades.”

Petersen said other Branstad appointees “might want to consider a different line of work.” She declined to name them.

Branstad’s spokesman, Jimmy Centers, said the governor signed an executive order after he learned of confidential settlement agreements to increase transparency, accountability and openness in state government. He said in an email message Senate Democrats “are more interested in partisan political attacks in an election year than they are in making progress to move Iowa forward and increase transparency in government.”

Committee member Julian Garrett, an Indianola Republican, said Democrats are playing political games.

“I’m voting no on the Senate Democrats’ recommendations today because they are nothing more than a campaign gimmick,” he said. “The truth is Iowa is being run exceptionally well by Gov. Branstad and Democrats are simply trying to tear him down for political gain.”

The committee has subpoena power until the end of this year and Petersen said further hearings are possible as she continues to hear about other issues not yet explored.

She said she hopes legislators look closely at the recommendations and seriously consider legislation that could correct some of the problems the committee uncovered.

Lawsuit against Templeton Rye allowed to proceed DES MOINES (AP) — A lawsuit alleging Iowa-based whiskey maker Templeton Rye misled consumers can proceed, according to the state attorney general’s office.

The move is a for-

mality under an Iowa law that requires the state attorney general’s office to evaluate such a lawsuit and determine if its claims have validity to move forward in court.

“In looking at the claims, they appeared

to me to be ones that had validity, and in fact, strong validity,” said Bill Brauch, director of the office’s Consumer Protection Division.

The proposed classaction lawsuit was filed in Illinois by a Chicago

law firm on behalf of consumers in the country who have purchased a bottle of Templeton Rye. It claims the company broke consumer protection laws and misled drinkers about the whiskey’s Iowa origins.

Ill., which reaches into the state’s southeast corner.

“It’s devastating news for his campaign that just 35 days out his campaign is essentially broke,” Ketzner said about Hatch. “If he can’t manage his campaign checkbook, how can he manage the state’s checkbook?”

Campaign financial reports show Hatch’s campaign had $183,000 in cash on hand in July, the most recent reporting period for which records are available.

Branstad’s committee had $4 million.

Branstad appears on track for victory come Nov. 4. A Des Moines Register poll released Monday shows 48 percent of likely voters supporting Branstad and 34 percent backing Hatch. The poll of 546 likely voters, conducted between Sept. 21 and Sept.

24 by Selzer & Co., had a margin of error of 4.2 percentage points.

Branstad has been touting a commercial property tax cut and education investments achieved during his current term, as well as Iowa’s low unemployment rate as reasons for re-election.

After Gov. Terry Branstad’s campaign issued a news release about Hatch ads going off the air, Hatch campaign manager Grant Woodard acknowledged the campaign wasn’t currently running any TV ads and hadn’t reserved any future airtime.

The campaign ran television ads from Sept. 9 through Monday, and Woodard said the campaign will air ads again before Election Day. “We’re just trying to be as judicious with our resources as we can be,” Woodard said.

Branstad campaign manager Jake Ketzner said the 67-year-old governor, who is running for a sixth nonconsecutive term, is airing ads statewide and even in Quincy,

Dave Loebsack Affiliation: Democrat Town: Iowa City, Iowa

Why are you running to represent Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District?

I am running because I want to continue my fight to move Iowa forward by creating jobs, growing the economy, investing in education, prioritizing clean energy like wind, and leading the fight in Congress against those MemLoebsack bers who are out of touch.

Growing up in poverty, I know what it is like to sit around the kitchen table and have to make tough decisions. The people of Iowa deserve a Representative who knows what they have gone through and will fight for their best interests and not for special interests. I want to leave our state and nation in a better place in order for our kids and grandkids to succeed.

What would you do if elected to create more jobs

Mariannette Miller-Meeks Affiliation: Republican Town: Ottumwa, Iowa

Why are you running to represent Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District?

Looking at the dysfunctional mess in Washington, I felt called to serve. I could not sit on the sidelines as a doctor and do nothing as the so-called Affordable Care Act hurts Iowans. As a 24year veteran of the Army, I’m disturbed by the lack of Miller-Meeks accountability for scandals like the one surrounding veterans’ health care. Furthermore, there are so many in the middle class who are being squeezed right now by higher electricity bills and prices at the grocery store.

I felt I could bring something to the table about how overVisit Hammer for your Mastectomy Products.

in Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District?

As we work to recover from the worst recession since the Great Depression, bipartisanship is critical to growing an economy that works for all Iowans. We must keep taxes low for middle class families and ensure better wages; provide tax relief for small businesses to hire and expand their financing opportunities; and close loopholes that encourage shipping Iowans’ jobs overseas. We must reinvigorate manufacturing, build things in America, and take action against illegal trade practices by foreign competitors. I introduced a bill that aims to create and save jobs in new and expanding industries by strengthening our workforce and employers, the SECTORS Act. Large portions of this legislation were recently signed into law as part of the Workforce Investment Act reauthorization, and this is an important step towards revitalizing manufacturing in Iowa.

Where do you stand on immigration reform?

Our immigration system is broken and for too long politics has gotten in the way of commonsense reform. First, any immigration reform plan

zealous government rules affect people and businesses from my experience as Director of the Iowa Department of Public Health. This has been the slowest economic recovery in modern American history in part because policies from Washington are getting in the way of growing jobs. Under the leadership of Governor Terry Branstad, Iowa has been able to implement policies that grow jobs and wages. Iowa needs a partner in Washington to continue the successes that are taking place here.

The Supreme Court upheld the legality of the Affordable Care Act’s individual mandate, and the act’s rollout continues to move forward. What – if anything – would you do to make sure the act is successful?

What would you do if elected to create more jobs in Iowa’s 2nd Congressional District?

We should look at what is being done here in Iowa under the leadership of Governor Terry Branstad as a model for what should be done at the

Do you support continued use of the production tax credit (PTC) currently subsidizing the wind energy industry? How long do you feel it’s necessary?

I have been a longtime supporter of the Production Tax Credit (PTC) and have led the way in Congress to ensure it is renewed to give the wind ener-

federal level. Nationally, this has been one of the slowest recoveries in modern history because policies coming out of Washington like the socalled Affordable Care Act or Obamacare are getting in the way of businesses that are trying to hire more workers and increase wages. More needs to be done to make our tax code competitive so businesses invest here in America. We also need to increase skills training so our workers are prepared for the new jobs that are created. We are doing good things here in Iowa to grow jobs and wages but need a partner at the federal level to do even more.

The current immigration system is broken. Our borders are not secure allowing dangerous people to enter this country illegally and do us harm. It is also too cumbersome for those who want to work here and become citizens to have the opportunity for a better life. We need to

must secure the borders and enforce laws. As a nation of immigrants, we also need a system that actually works and contributes to our economic growth while giving employers the tools to vet employees and crack down on those who knowingly hire illegal immigrants. I strongly believe the status quo can’t continue, and will continue to work with anyone on either side of the aisle to finally fix the broken immigration system. The United States is a nation of immigrants and laws. As a compassionate nation we cannot break up millions of law abiding families through deportation. I support an earned pathway to citizenship for DREAMers. I am a cosponsor of legislation to provide an earned pathway to citizenship for those without a criminal history who enlist and choose to serve our country.

gy sector the stability it needs.

The PTC has helped the still growing wind energy industry employ 80,000 Americans, including thousands of Iowans.

Living in Iowa, we understand how important renewable energy is to our state, to our country’s future, and to our economy. Iowa is home to numerous wind energy manufacturing companies and a whole host of businesses that supply them and create good-paying jobs. Just recently I led an effort to introduce HR 5559 the Bridge to a Clean Energy Future Act. This legislation would extend the Production Tax Credit for wind energy through 2016. I strongly believe we must work toward a more certain and sustainable approach to supporting the wind industry and ensuring its continued growth. For our nation to move towards energy independence and continued job growth, we need to prioritize clean energy like wind.

There is a clear choice between my opponent and me. My opponent talks a big game, while I have a record of getting things done

increase the security on our border and streamline the process for people that want to come here legally.

Do you support continued use of the production tax credit (PTC) currently subsidizing the wind energy industry? How long do you feel it’s necessary?

I’m in favor of an allof-the-above energy strategy that includes wind, solar, ethanol, biofuels and further exploration for natural gas and oil. The production tax credit (PTC) for wind energy has been used successfully here in Iowa to offset some of the more traditional forms of electricity. I am in favor of keeping the tax credit in its current form.

for Iowa. For example, Dr. Miller-Meeks blames the rising costs of health care on Medicare and has called for ending its guarantee. I have fought to protect Medicare because seniors have paid in every month and have earned it. Dr. Miller-Meeks supports tax loopholes for corporations that allow them to ship jobs overseas. I have worked to pass commonsense legislation that would create jobs here at home and have worked to repeal the policies that encourage companies to ship jobs overseas. Dr. Miller-Meeks also says she wants to dismantle funding for the Department of Education, which could eliminate low cost student loans. I’ve fought to lower the cost of going to college and increase access to student loans so anyone who wants to can attend college.

While Dr. Miller-Meeks talks a lot about how she wants to provide tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas, end the Medicare guarantee, and dismantle the Department of Education, I have fought to put hardworking, middle-class families first and provide greater economic opportunities for all Iowans.

is a dysfunctional mess in part because there are too many career politicians. Iowans deserve someone with real-world experience dealing with the issues they care about. The middle class is being squeezed right now by a tepid recovery that is made worse by a federal government that is getting in the way of growing jobs and wages. I saw firsthand at the Department of Public Health what overregulation does to individuals and businesses. We need policies that promote growth at the federal level and assist the successes that are happening here in Iowa. I also understand the health care system and want to implement better health care reforms than what we have now with the so-called Affordable Care Act or Obamacare. Finally, as a veteran, I’m troubled by what is happening with veterans’ health care and want to hold those responsible for that travesty and other recent examples like NSA spying and the IRS.

Daily News Royals beat A’s in extra-inning wild-card thriller KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Kansas City Royals had waited 29 years to reach the postseason. They weren’t going down without a fight.

Salvador Perez singled down the left-field line with two outs in the 12th inning, allowing Christian Colon to score from second base and giving the long-suffering Royals a 9-8 victory over the Oakland Athletics in a wild AL wild-card game Tuesday night.

Quite a start to October baseball — even if this one appeared to be over in September with plenty of time to spare.

The A’s raced out to a 7-3 lead by the sixth inning, but the Royals countered with three runs in the eighth. Nori Aoki’s sacrifice fly off Sean Doolittle in the ninth forced extra innings.

The teams kept trading blows over

the next couple innings, as midnight came and went on the East Coast and the tension continued to build. Brandon Finnegan finally cracked after tossing two scorePerez less innings, but the Royals were there to pick up their pitching one last time.

Eric Hosmer hit a rocket to the wall in left field off Dan Otero for a leadoff triple in the 12th, and Colon hit an infield chopper that he beat out for a tying single. That set the stage for Perez, who lined a pitch from Jason Hammel just inside the third-base

line to send the Royals pouring out of their dugout in a mad celebration.

The long-suffering franchise hadn’t played in the postseason since beating St. Louis in the 1985 World Series, and the excitement the permeated the city might best be summed up by a statement posted by the Kansas City Police on Twitter in about the 10th inning: “We really need everyone to not commit crimes and drive safely right now. We’d like to hear the Royals clinch.”

They finally did it in a thrilling start to baseball’s playoffs.

For the Oakland, it was one final collapse in a season full of them. The club that once had the best record in baseball wilted over the second half of the season, and needed a victory on

the final day of the regular season just to squeeze into the playoffs.

They had chances to put all that in the past. Instead, it will be dragged up for years.

Kansas City clawed back from a fourrun deficit over the final two innings.

The impassioned play by a scrappy bunch of Royals that have rarely tasted success energized a sellout crowd that had been pining for postseason baseball since the 1985 World Series.

Yost has refused to discuss who he might pitch in the opener against the Angels. The two best bets are vastly different options: Danny Duffy is a young, hard-throwing left-hander who plays on passion, Jeremy Guthrie is a cerebral right-hander that relies on guile.

GRINNELL — Newton High’s Cardinals remain winless in Little Hawkeye Conference volleyball matches. The Cardinals fell to host Grinnell’s Tigers, 25-14, 25-15, 25-19, Tuesday.

“We really struggled tonight on playing the game, playing our side of the net, and doing the little things,” said Laura Rowen, Newton head coach.

“We are going to be doing some re-structuring and starting with a clean slate. The only place to go is up.”

The Cardinals (5-18) work the rest of the week to prepare for their home tournament. The NHS Cardinal Invitational is Saturday.

Taylor Shipley led Newton at the net with five kills followed by Megan Pressgrove with four kills.

Sydney Hemann put down three kills and Morgan Allen had two kills and one solo block. Bailey Davis had two kills.

Hemann was credited with five set assists while Shipley and Pressgrove each had two assists. Pressgrove made five digs, Shipley had four digs and Hemann had two digs. Hemann provided the lone serving ace of the match for Newton.

Area volleyball roundup: PCM beats CMB, Tigerhawks swept

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer BAXTER — Things seem to be on the uptick for Prairie City-Monroe.

Two days after its most successful tournament of the season, the Mustangs earned their first Heart of Iowa victory Tuesday night by beating Collins-Maxwell/Baxter in convincing fashion, 25-15, 25-15, 25-18.

PCM (6-15, 1-4) led the majority of the match in what was one of the team’s better performances of the year.

“We talked about keeping that momentum and we talked about how the weekend felt finishing games versus games we hadn’t finished earlier in the year,” PCM head coach Mollie Keitges said. “I think they did a good job tonight, especially when they (CMB) were very scrappy and got a lot of things up that maybe we thought would be down and we kept with it, so that was good.”

After losing 11 of 13 to begin the season, PCM experienced some much-needed success Saturday at a tournament in Nevada. The Mustangs won three of their five matches at the tournament, which created momentum heading into Tuesday’s game against the Raiders.

“The girls have been doing really good volleyball things, but then we haven’t been able to finish or maintain it because I think self doubt creeps in,” Keitges said. “So I think this weekend was a really good con-

fidence builder and the girls did well tonight.”

Finishing wasn’t a problem for PCM Tuesday night. The Mustangs erased early CMB leads in the first and second sets and then never

trailed in the match after taking a 12-11 lead in the second set.

Keitges pointed to three areas — aggressive serving, limiting hitting errors and solid serve-receive passing — that led PCM to victory. The Mustangs landed 67 of 73 serves in play against the Raiders, resulting in the team’s second-best serving efficiency percentage (.917) in its five conference games.

Senior outside hitter Courtney Van Houweling led PCM with nine kills and 20 digs. Sophomore Jayci Vos and senior Emma Williams both contributed 16 assists, and junior Ben Schuff/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe libero Mackenzie Clark (right) dives in front of teammate Kendal Earley for a dig against CollinsMaxwell/Baxter Tuesday night in Baxter.

PCM beat CMB, 25-15, 25-15, 25-18.

NCMP: Aquagirls beat Dowling, lose to Ankeny Continued from Page 1B coach. “So, we went in with the mentality to use the meet to practice our mantra, ‘train like you race, race like you train.’”

Patterson said there were no official team scores available, but NCMP lost to Ankney and defeated West Des Moines Dowling Cathloic. She said the NCMP coaches added up points and are counting it as a dual win over Dowling.

Ankeny won all three varsity relays, but Patterson said the Aquagirls put up a great fight in the water. NCMP dominated the 100 butterfly race. Along with Hed-

rick, Scotton and Martin, NCMP got points from Katherine Thorpe in fifth. Thorpe and Morgan Altman competed in the event for the first time.

Patterson said every single one of NCMP’s individual medley swimmers was near or below a personal best time.

Senior Abby Jolivette placed third in the junior varsity with a best time — and also dropped over a second from her 100 backstroke time to place third there as well.

Freshman Jessica Zahn cut two seconds from her best individual medley time. Junior Hannah Rhoads placed

third in the varsity competition with a personal best time, even with a chest cold, Patterson said.

Madeline Webb turned in a personal-best time of 2:08.39 in the 200 freestyle.

Jenkins continued to chip away at her open 50 freestyle time, turning in a 26.26 Tuesday night.

“Samantha’s butterfly time was super fast for this part of the season and Sydney’s 50 time was very fast. Sydney has amazing underwater streamlines,” Patterson said.

Senior Kira Hanson turned in a personalbest time of 1:01.97 in the 100 freestyle, placing second in junior varsity.

She followed that up on the 400 free relay with a 1:01.96.

Freshman Alexis DeVries dropped two seconds from her personal best in the 500 freestyle, swimming a 6:27.80, good for fifth in junior varsity. Patterson said Kaelee Knoll knocked her previous 100 backstroke best time out of the park, swimming a 1:08.94, dropping about two seconds from her best.

Karina VanDyke had one of her best games of her career off the bench with four blocks.

“I thought we did really good at hitting and our passing was pretty good, too,” said Ashley VanGorp, who added six kills and was nine-ofnine serving. “We were really good at picking up the scrappy balls, too, (beyond) our regular defense.”

CMB (3-9, 2-4) struggled throughout most of what became its third straight loss. The Raiders recorded only 13 kills and 18 hitting errors, leading to a season worst -.057 hitting efficiency rating.

CMB head coach Scott Ranck mentioned breakdowns in player movement and passing as downfalls against the Mustangs.

Payge Jurgens led the Raiders with five kills. Teammate Mackenzie Schmitz paced CMB with 10 assists.

“We just didn’t play together,” Ranck said. “We’ve really been struggling and we’re just not playing together. We’re going to be working on something to try to fix that to get us ready for the end of the season.”

North Polk tops Colfax-Mingo COLFAX — Despite what head coach Michelle Grant viewed as improved play from her team, ColfaxMingo suffered the same result Tuesday night.

North Polk handed the Tigerhawks their ninth-straight loss by a score of 25-13, 25-15, 25-12.

North Polk sophomore Hannah Becker led her team with 15 kills and only one hitting error. Carly Madson added 10 kills. Gracie Harmeyer posted 33 assists for the Comets.

No stats were available for ColfaxMingo (2-12, 0-4).

“We played well. I can’t think of much we could have done differently within our realm,” Grant said.

“North Polk is an excellent team with girls who hit the ball at us hard. After the game we talked about playing the way we played against North Polk against everyone. Wins will come if we can play the way we’ve been playing over the past few nights.

The win snapped a two-match skid for the Comets (14-7, 3-1).

The winningest athlete in Olympic history is facing DUI charges for the second time after being arrested early Tuesday in his hometown of Baltimore, where police said he was clocked going nearly 40 mph over the speed limit and was unable to perform a series of field sobriety tests.

documents show that the charges include driving while impaired by alcohol, driving while under the influence of alcohol and driving a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol.

If you have lofty aims and unreasonable goals, this is the sky for you. The Capricorn moon that rules early October favors the ambitious. Whether we make it or not isn’t the point. The attainment of the prize won’t be what matters in the end, but we need the goal anyway.

Without it, we’re adrift — rudderless victims of the cosmic tides.

experience because of the dysfunctional way things are.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 1). You can do it wrong and still get it right, which is a theme this year. If you fail, don’t worry about it; you’ll fail upward. You’ll approach love with gutsy energy, and your relationships will be richer for it. November shows you giving an acceptance speech.

January and May favor a move. Aquarius and Gemini people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 40, 22, 14, 37 and 49.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Though you’ll lead with a playful energy, you’ll still get plenty of serious business accomplished. Your sunny attitude makes you popular and productive.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Is it possible that what you are now calling a problem is also a kind of functioning solution that saves you from greater distress? Consider all of the benefits you currently

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re on the lookout for success in others.

You’ll try to see what’s good in them before you notice faults. You’ll anticipate opportunities for praise and make an effort to catch others doing something right.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). If you find yourself obsessively thinking about a problem, you’re too emotionally invested and need to distance yourself.

You should be able to face a challenge, take action and then step away and let go.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Being able to consciously focus your attention is the one ability that will bring you the biggest

reward today. It is easier to tame your wild mind when the rebel inside you feels the higher mind is a friend and not a tyrant.

next step in your process.

You realize this, and yet you may still feel a great deal of resistance. Be patient with yourself.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The irony of codependency is that the responsibility you feel for another person is what stunts the relationship.

Once you detach, you will get the perspective you need to be truly helpful.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Doing what needs to be done to be a responsible person may be taking up the lion’s share of your willpower, so don’t be surprised if you don’t have much left at the end of the day. Go easy on yourself.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll be inspired by a person who possesses some of the traits you would like to nurture in yourself. This is someone you’ll spend more time with in the future. You’re already planning it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Persistence is one of the most wonderful human qualities when applied to the right things.

When applied to the wrong things, it’s destructive. Seek help in channeling your persistence well.
