“I love the opportunity to work and support myself, but at the same time I felt that I could do something better, with a higher level of skill if I had the opportunity to learn.”

A Dec. 1 trial date was set Tuesday for “Twilight” impersonator David A. LaVera in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa.

L a Vera was LaVera indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of knowingly producing child pornography, or sexual exploitation of a minor, as well as knowingly possessing child pornography. He pleaded not guilty on both counts.

If convicted on the exploitation charge, LaVera could be sentenced to no less than 15 and no more than 30 years in federal prison, plus between five years and a life term of supervised release. The possession of child pornography charge has a punishment of up to 20 years in prison and between five years and a life

term of supervised release. Both charges have a potential maximum fine of $250,000.

U.S. Magistrate Judge Ross Walters ordered LaVera to remain in federal custody pending the trial.

He was taken into federal custody on Monday by the U.S. Marshals Service.

A team that includes agents with Homeland Security Investigations at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office, the Iowa Department of Criminal Investigation, the Newton Police Department, and the Baxter Police Department have been investigating the case, according to court documents.

LaVera is also charged with eight state charges including two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, two counts of invasion of privacy, third-degree sexual abuse, enticement of a minor, attempt to entice a minor and carrying weapons.

Attendance numbers up for library programs

By Jamee A. Pierson Daily News Staff Writer Attendance is growing for programs offered at the Newton Public Library.

“We doubled the number of programs for adults as the target audience, and attendance increased 10 percent of last year. We offered fewer children’s programs, but still saw an increase of 24 percent over last year’s attendance,” said Sue Padilla, Newton Library director.

Of the children’s programs, summer reading and story times make up the majority of attendance. Adult programs include a game night, “chick lit” flicks, coffee and a movie and two book clubs.

The library has increasingly become a destination for residents to bring their laptops and devices to use the Wi-Fi services.

“Reference questions are increasing about coping with the technology changes in our

readers’ daily lives, about how to use various devices. Essentially, the library is transforming into the city’s technology center for the public,” Padilla said.

A one-on-one tech time is available daily on a call-ahead basis and “Learn How to” technology classes are available monthly and cover various topics, such as Facebook.

“Circulation of physical items may be down, but the library is still a busy, go-to place for the community,” she said.

Having partnerships with the Goodwill Career Connection Center, Centre for Arts and Artists and the Jasper County Conservation Center has allowed the library to enhance learning opportunities in the library as well as out in the community. The library also has special monthly Saturday stories for ages 3 to 9 and LIBRARY See Page 3A

Spirituality with a twist Christian Yoga offered at First Presbyterian Church

By Jamee A. Pierson Daily News Staff Writer Starting in September, Pastor Meghan Davis of the First Presbyterian Church began offering Christian Yoga classes five times a week at the church. Davis, who has been teaching yoga for three years, came to the church in June and decided to start classes a few months later.

“Yoga was originally created to be a preparation for meditation. It is actually older than any organized religion, so it was created to prepare the body so that you could relax and really meditate. I heard this when I was in seminary training to become a pastor,” Davis said. “I heard that Indians think that it is really weird that we Westerners will go to yoga class and do all of the physical part and go on our way without doing the yoga. I put that in the back of my head and then one day I was in a yoga class and it was like an epiphany, why can’t this be a part of a Christian

spiritual practice.”

After talking with a friend, Davis found out about a Christian Yoga school in Arizona and has been teaching ever since.

“I use it as a part of a Christian spiritual practice, as a part of my spiritual practice,” Davis said.

She said that anyone can come a give her classes a try.

“Really, especially with the gentle yoga, but really even with the flow yoga anyone can come and just wherever you are is fine and you will grow from there,” Davis said.

In yoga, Davis listed three rules that apply to the practice.

“One is there is no pain in yoga, so if anything is painful, don’t do it. Another thing is, it is not a competitive sport, so it doesn’t matter if the person next to you has their head all the way down to their knees and if you don’t, it doesn’t matter.

Yoga is all about the present so it doesn’t matter what you used to be able to do. The third thing

is just breathing. As long as you are breathing into a pose, that’s what matters,” Davis said.

Three levels of classes are offered throughout the week. The gentlest is chair yoga, which Davis said is literally sitting on a chair or using a chair for support.

It is offered at 3 p.m. Thursdays.

The gentle class is the next step up and takes place at 11 a.m.

Tuesday. The flow class is the most advanced, but Davis said it isn’t to the level of super yoga, it is still pretty gentle. It is offered at 6:15 p.m. Monday, at 6 a.m.

Wednesday and at 10 a.m. Saturday.

“I’ve been really excited, especially the flow Monday night and Saturday morning classes,” Davis said. “The yoga flow has more of a broader range, more young people are coming. As people get stronger maybe we’ll start power yoga.”

Pope seeks frank, fearless debate on family issues

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis urged bishops on Monday to speak their minds without fear about contentious issues like contraception, gays, marriage and divorce at the start of a two-week meeting aimed at making the church’s teaching on family matters relevant to today’s Catholics.

Francis told bishops they shouldn’t even be afraid of showing him disrespect, saying he wants a frank debate that shouldn’t be tempered by fears that some issues are too taboo to even be discussed.

“You have to say what you feel the Lord tells you to say, without concerns of human respect and without fear,” Francis instructed the bishops at the start of their

meeting.

At the same time, he urged the nearly 200 cardinals, bishops and priests gathered for the synod to listen to one another with humility “and welcome with an open heart what our brothers say.”

The run-up to the meeting has been marked by mudslinging between conservative and progressive churchmen over issues such as whether Catholics who divorce and remarry without an annulment can receive Communion.

Church teaching says such Catholics are living in sin and cannot receive the sacraments.

While insisting he is a “son of the church,” Francis has said the church must show more mercy and be a “field

hospital” for wounded souls, suggesting he is seeking some sort of accommodation that conservatives say simply does not exist.

In a bid to encourage free-wheeling debate, the Vatican is restricting public information about what is said behind closed doors during the synod, not releasing texts of individual bishops as it has done in the past.

In a measure to inform the debate, Francis decided last year to send a 39-point questionnaire to bishops’ conferences around the world, seeking input from ordinary Catholics about their acceptance of church teaching on a host of issues related to Catholic family life.

The surveys confirmed that while most

For those interested in donating items, rummage room articles will be accepted Friday and there will also be a signup sheet for food donations for the church kitchen. No clothing or non-working appliances.

Proceeds go to the Sacred Heart Scholarship Fund.

Catholics believe in the indissolubility of marriage, the vast majority of Catholics ignore and reject church teaching on sex and contraception.

The responses also said the church must develop a pastoral plan to minister to gays in civil unions and to children being raised in such families, making the synod the first time the Vatican is addressing homosexuality on a pastoral level.

Church reform groups have said such honest responses, and the pope’s insistence that no issue is too taboo to be discussed, are reason for hope. Conservative churchmen, however, are hoping that the synod will simply reaffirm church doctrine and make it more known and understood by Catholics.

Local & State News Duane & Floppy Film Festival coming to Newton

Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2014

Newton Daily News If you know what the biggest pencil in the world is ... or why the man put his car in the oven ... then you’ll want to be at the Capitol Theater in Newton on Oct. 25.

The 2014 edition of the “Duane & Floppy Film Festival” begins at 10 a.m. that day, and contains 90 minutes worth of material from the famous central Iowa duo who entertained thousands through their daily programs on WHOTV and personal appearances throughout the state.

This year’s series of film festivals marks the first time Duane & Floppy’s work has been shown in public in more than three years. The Newton event is a fundraiser for the local United Way campaign,

and proceeds from ticket sales will go to support United Way in Jasper County.

In 1957, Duane Ellett was a personality on WHO radio and television. He was asked to create a puppet for Channel 13’s “Pet Corner” program as a device to help children understand how to care for their pets. The multi-talented Ellett taught himself ventriloquism, carved a beagle puppet out of balsa wood ... and Floppy was born.

Soon Duane & Floppy had their own daily cartoon programs, “The Floppy Show” and “Duane & Friend”, as well as various weekend shows such as the “S.S. Popeye” and “Floppytown Gazette”. The pair would also make as many as 200 personal appear-

Just a few weeks after celebrating their 30th anniversary in 1987, Duane Ellett died of a heart attack. For most of the last 20 years, Floppy and other puppets created by Ellett were on display at the Iowa Historical Building in Des Moines, quickly becoming the most sought out exhibits in the museum.

The first “Duane & Floppy Film Festival” was held in 2009. Despite adverse winter weather, more than 1,000 fans packed the historical building’s auditorium for four shows. Another film festival was held the next year, with similar response.

This year, in the spirit of

New services and additional access for readers through the Internet has been a point of emphasis the past year.

“We are now sending email alerts for books three days before they are due to be returned, and not only can readers place holds online, but now they can also renew items online,” Padilla said.

The library is continuing to participate in the WILBOR (West/Central Iowa Libraries Building Online Resources) consortium, which allows readers to check out downloadable audio and e-books at no cost.

It has also started a subscription to Freegal, which offers access to about 7 million songs, including Sony Music’s catalog of legendary artists and more than 28,000 labels with music that originates in more than 80 countries according to its website.

Users are able to download three songs a week for free and keep them permanently on their devices.

GRINNELL – Two hundred people are expected to arrive in Grinnell driving classic cars on Friday via historic U.S. Route 6.

Cruise participants will park their cars around Central Park from 5 to 7 p.m. and invite the public to view the cars or bring their own classic cars to the park for the evening.

“We are excited to make Grinnell our overnight stop this year.

The architecture and atmosphere is remarkable,” said Dave Darby, executive director of the Iowa U.S. Route 6 Tourist Association.

“Grinnell has a great grasp on historic charm and preservation.”

The annual Retro Road Trip car cruise will depart from Davenport Friday, overnight in Grinnell that evening, and travel to Council Bluffs the following day. The cruise

could never answer correctly.

The film festivals are produced by awardwinning Iowa broadcast historian Jeff Stein, who has worked with WHO television for the past six years preserving footage from the television shows.

Besides material for the various film festivals, Stein has created four separate DVDs of Duane & Floppy material, including an original one-hour retrospective of the duo’s long career.

The DVDs, as well as retro-style official Floppy T-shirts, Floppy caps and vintage publicity photos, will be available for purchase at the film festival.

They are also available online at www.TotallyIowa. com and www.TheFloppyShow.com.

Tickets will be available at the door for $5 per person. Proceeds from ticket sales will go to support the United Way of Jasper County.

Project IOWA was formed in 2011, with the intention of helping solve the region’s shortage in the skilled labor workforce. Its first classes were held in February 2012.

Since then, 180 people have participated in the program and 72 percent of them are not only employed, but have found meaningful work.

The starting average wage of Project IOWA participants was $4.53 per hour, following the completion of Project IOWA participants were averaging $13.88 per hour, according to Thompson.

The road trip invites anyone with a classic car to join in a trip across Iowa on the original historic alignments of US Highway 6. The credo for the road trip is “No Interstates – No Chain Restaurants. Just Mom & Pops and Two Lane Blacktop”.

“We are very excited that cruise organizers chose Grinnell as an overnight stop this year,” said Emily Counts, Grinnell tourism director.

Another thing that differentiates Project IOWA from other career support services is it thrives on helping others have successful reclamation projects such as Salmond’s.

“We will not train a participant in an industry in which they would not be able to be place, for example, if they have a criminal background charge that will keep them from working in a specific career industry,” Thompson said.

She added that Project IOWA has established relationships with businesses that are seeking well-trained applicants, and some of those

The Iowa Transportation Museum will welcome participants for a reception later that evening. Participants will be spending the night at several Grinnell hotels.

businesses have helped develop the program’s curriculum and serve on its board of directors.

In addition to job training, Project IOWA offers “soft skills” training to participants, to help with the little social intricacies that accompany working in a professional setting.

As Newton and Jasper County’s industrial base is continuing to grow, more local employers are finding themselves in need of people trained in manufacturing. This is why Thompson has been attempting to find potential participants in the area.

“Project IOWA has held one training class in Newton earlier this year for manufacturing specialists. Project

IOWA would welcome an opportunity to offer services to Newton residents again.

At this point, Project IOWA does not have enough participants from Newton who have applied for training,” Thompson said.

If enough participants can be found, Thompson said they will offer training at Newton’s DMACC campus. The only requirements are that the person is a legal U.S. resident, is over the age of 18 and have a high school diploma or equivalent.

Ty’s Take

My first trip to Newton

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

As I was driving home on Interstate 80 after getting my haircut Saturday, it reminded me of my first trip to Newton way back in December 2012.

I know I’ve shared this story in person during a few speaking engagements, but I don’t think I’ve ever written about it.

In November 2012, I was hired to join the staff of the Daily News, with about two weeks left in my final semester of college. This left me with endless bragging rights amongst my classmates, many of whom were also seniors and on the job hunt.

Landing this job before I even walked across the stage was the perfect ending to my redemption quest after re-entering college in 2011, after my “semester off ” turned into two miserable years of being a dropout.

Just about everyone gave me puzzled looks when I said I was moving to Iowa, but I didn’t care.

I landed a job in my dream field (newspaper writing) after entering my last semester of college determined to become a public relations person or marketing director.

After accepting my position, I didn’t really bother to work on planning my move up here, after all I was busy. I had finals, homework, a job, the school paper, mentoring a high school kid and still somehow found time to have a girlfriend.

Well, as December crept up on me, and with my January start date approaching, I realized I was going to need some place to live.

I asked my girl BFF, Tisa, to take a trip with me up here to find a place. Things at this point were getting rocky with me and the girlfriend, and I learned a long time ago its always best to have a woman with you when shopping for a place to live.

Tisa begrudgingly agreed and on Dec. 22, 2012, we drove to Newton. I thought I had it all figured out. I had been on craigslist and Googled a few apartment complexes I wanted to look at.

Armed with this list and my general know-it-all mindset, I thought, “Man, I’m so good at this whole moving to another state thing. I bet no one has done it this well!”

The day before our trip, the

Wednesday, Oct. 8, 2014 KC metro area experienced a light dusting of snow. I’m talking so miniscule Iowans wouldn’t even call it snow.

So, as we are in my car, Tisa said, “Did you check the weather up there?”

I literally laughed in her face and went, “Tisa. It’s only three hours away. I’m sure there isn’t any difference.”

I would later eat those words and I’m sure those of you who are native Iowans got a good chuckle out of how naive I was to Iowa’s weather patterns.

The entire drive had been smooth sailing — minus the 20 minutes spent on the wrong interstate. Roads were clear as can be, and we were making great time.

Once we hit the Polk County line it was a different story. To quote the legendary wrestling commentator Jim Ross, “all hell broke loose.”

Never in our lives had either one of us seen so many turned over cars, trucks and semis on the side of the interstate. I’m guessing that carnage is what the aftermath of a tornado striking a packed truck stop would look like.

I’m not one who’s easily scared

but in my then 25 years of life, that was a frightening experience.

A petrified Tisa called her mom and gave her a recap of the visuals we were experiencing.

When she got off the phone, she looked over at me said, “What are you getting yourself into moving up here?”

Turns out you guys had this little thing called a “white out” up here and it wreaked a bit of havoc.

We made it to Newton. Relieved that we somehow survived that icy journey and we ran into our next issue — every apartment complex office was closed.

Feeling defeated, I began sharing our story with a few locals.

Next thing I knew, I got some phone numbers and wound up being shown some rental houses by one local landlord.

It took another trip for me to find my apartment. Yet, I’ll never forget that terrifying first journey or how willing people here were to help a stranger find a place to live.

Kelley tackles issues important to Iowans Athena Valdez Melbourne I have been working with Dan Kelley for nearly two years on a tornado siren bill that would require all communities in Iowa to have some sort of warning in place for all residents. The bill is HF408.

I met Dan in 2013 when my community, Melbourne, refused to get a siren installed and I reached out for help; Dan is the one who answered that call for help. Not long after, he drafted the first draft of the bill and invited my oldest son and I to the capitol to review the bill. Unfortunately, it did not make it out in time for funnel week, but we are still

derstands the importance of a strong education and the bridge it builds to a better workforce, community and to a better Iowa.

Dan has consistently voted in the best interest of our students and community. He supports teachers and providing schools with the support we need. He is particularly interested in science, math and engineering education as well as keeping op-

portunities in music and art.

I appreciate Dan’s steady attention to education issues. He has demonstrated a willingness to do his homework and to reach out for more information to make the best decisions possible. He works hard to build his knowledge of key issues and supports what is best for children. Dan Kelley is good for education!

working on getting the bill through.

Dan is like family now. My 8-year-old son looks up to him and because of him my son wants to someday work in government.

He has taken a huge interest in how things work and wants to help make a change like his mom, and like Dan. He has been a great friend and mentor to me as I embark on a journey not traveled by anyone in my family. He’s not just a great friend to me but to everyone he meets.

Even if he doesn’t fully agree with someone, he still respects their opinion and treats them with so much respect.

He is Iowa’s friend. He cares for each and every individual here and wants nothing but the best for everyone in our beautiful state, which

is more than I can say for other elected officials. Unless its effecting them or in their back yard they just don’t care. Dan is different. He takes things to heart and that is not common in politics.

To have a friend like Dan I certainly have someone to look up to that demonstrates the kind of person I want to be. I have to say a big thank you to Dan for being such a treasured friend. Anyone who can say bad about him does not truly know him.

Together Dan, my best friend Jennifer and I run a Facebook page for the tornado siren bill. Its called STORM Safety Iowa. We have the bill in its entirety posted.

I am honored to have such a great friend and I feel the rest of Iowa should feel the same.

I love going to baseball games. That’s not to say I love baseball. I like baseball. I respect baseball.

I admire the game, the athleticism, the calculations, t h e

By Katiedid m i n d Langrock play, but that’s not why I go to games. I go for the nachos.

I’m kidding. (I’m not kidding.) I go for more than just the nachos. (They also have soft pretzels.) I go for the atmosphere.

I live for those perfect summer evenings, when the sun is warm on your face and the light zephyr cools you down, when the orange moon rises over the outfield stands and the evening is thick with screaming children, baseball gloves in tow. I love standing up for the wave, belting out the national anthem and attempting to pelt poor players with popcorn, which inevitably rains on the fans one row below mine, causing an uncomfortable grudge for the duration of the game.

Sometimes, if I’m really lucky, a fight will break out — among the players, not between me and the row in front. (Usually.) There is something primal and absurdly awesome about a good baseball fight. Unlike hockey or football, the players have to run great distances — from home plate and the dugout and even the bullpen to the mound — just for the opportunity to throw a punch. And because it takes so long to get there, the fight is often broken up before it begins, resulting in a hilarious horde filled with unrequited aggression and pretend anger, featuring empty threats and profane gestures.

Sidebar: High schools should look into implementing a 50-yard dash before students are allowed to tackle one another in the hallways. That would not

only help prevent fights but also enhance physical fitness in the absence of gym class. It’s a win-win.

No matter which stadium you attend or which team you are watching, with a hot dog (tofu dog) in one hand and a large cola (beer) in the other, the atmosphere is what feels like home. OK, not really. I don’t associate my physical abode with peanut shells crushed on the floor. And I think I’d be really freaked out if someone pointed at me with a foot-long finger made of foam, but you get what I’m saying. It’s joy in the form of bleachers. The perfect diamond. I mean, they sell soft serve in a mini baseball cap. In a cap, people!

My elder cousin Jeff, whom I idolized growing up, is responsible for my love of going to games.

A baseball fanatic, he taught me how to fill in a score chart and taught me the rules. He’d make mad dashes for refills on snacks, only to drill me on the play-by-play of everything that had occurred in his absence. I associate attending baseball games with the kind of nostalgia that I feel when buying candy cigarettes from the ice cream man or wearing a heavy-metal shirt under my pantsuit.

Baseball has always been part of my life.

Recently, in a kneejerk reaction to becoming a father, my husband bought season tickets. His statement to the world that parenthood would not change us. Adorable.

Laughable.

Inaccurate.

But hey, it’s cheaper than buying a two-seater convertible.

Baseball games are now spent preoccupying a toddler. Chasing after him, throwing a ball with him, an endless cycle of cars and crayons and snacks and books — anything to keep his bottom in his seat.

It’s rough. The atmosphere cannot be experienced, the alcohol not properly consumed, the wave not waved when engaged in toddler entertaining.

Diversions Woman who suspects abuse should resist accusations

FAMILY CIRCUS

DEAR ABBY: When I was 10, I faked an injury so I could quit playing soccer. I couldn’t articulate why the coach, who was clean-cut, friendly and fair, made me uneasy. After he died a few years ago, it came out that he had molested dozens of girls.

Over the subsequent 20 years, those same instincts have screamed at me three more times — and twice I was proven correct. The third man to set off this alarm is in my social circle, along with his wife. Several of the couples in our group are starting families.

I feel like I’m in a terrible position.

Should I say something and risk destroying an innocent man’s reputation and the group dynamic, or remain silent and risk the kids being around a predator? I don’t have a shred of evidence, just a gut-punch feeling.

I never said anything about the prior abusers, but I don’t sleep well wondering if I should have — even if it was based solely on a sixth sense. What should I do?

— NOSE LIKE A BLOODHOUND DEAR NOSE: Child molesters belong to every race, both sexes, and come in various age ranges. The problem with criminals of every sort — child abusers and con men included — is they look like the rest of us.

I’m sorry you’re having sleep problems, but the solution to them is NOT to accuse someone about whom you have no proof. To falsely accuse him could destroy both of you, and I don’t recommend it.

DEAR ABBY: I’m struggling in my marriage. I have asked my husband to treat me as an equal, but it falls on deaf ears. I work part-time, attend school fulltime and care for our two children, basically on my own. I pay for almost everything. If I’m broke, he’ll pay one of the smaller bills.

He refuses to help with any of the housework, and he has the freedom to go when and where he pleases. I’m only allowed to go to school or work; otherwise

I must take the kids with me. He’s very controlling and, in the past, when I have threatened to leave, he said he would kill himself. He is verbally and emotionally abusive.

I no longer love him and want a divorce, but I’m scared of what he’ll do if I ask for one. I don’t know what he is capable of. The stress has taken a toll on me.

I’m depressed, angry and bitter. I wish the kids and I could simply disappear, but that’s not an option, nor healthy.

Is there an easy way to ask for a divorce, or somewhere I could turn for help? Is there financial help where someone could help pay for a divorce? — WANTS TO DISAPPEAR DEAR WANTS TO DISAPPEAR: There is no easy way to ask a spouse for a divorce, particularly one who is controlling and verbally abusive. If you are worried about him killing himself, please don’t. From your description, he is too selfish and self-centered ever to do that.

Because I know of no individuals or organizations that pay for people’s divorces, talk to your family and see if one or more of your close relatives is willing to help. However, if you are afraid that your husband might harm you, contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline.

The phone number is 800-799-7233.

Its counselors can help you form an exit strategy.

Iowa regents tighten oversight of firm’s expenses IOWA CITY (AP) — The consulting firm advising Iowa’s public universities on how to cut costs has been reimbursed $366,000 for expenses submitted without receipts, but will face tighter oversight going forward, the Iowa Board of Regents said Tuesday.

Deloitte Consulting LLP, whose employees are billing up to $450 per hour plus expenses, signed a contract amendment last week with the board agreeing to submit receipts for airfare, lodging, rental cars and other expenses over $25.

Deloitte will not have to submit receipts for meals but they will be

capped at $20 for dinner, $12 for lunch and $8 for breakfast — the same $40 daily out-of-state per diem that applies for state workers, according to a copy of the amendment released Monday under the public records law. Alcohol is not reimbursable, no first-class airfare will be allowed, and rental cars should generally be mid-sized or smaller, the document shows.

The requirements apply to expenses submitted after Aug. 11, when the regents formally requested to amend its contract after questions about Deloitte’s spending were raised, spokes-

woman Jeneane Beck said Tuesday. It would have been difficult to apply them retroactively as some regents wanted because the contract signed in March didn’t require receipts and Deloitte employees didn’t need to retain them under the firm’s internal policy, she said.

Deloitte has been paid $366,000 in expenses submitted without receipts, including $217,000 for travel, $105,000 for lodging and $40,000 for meals, records show.

Deloitte has also billed the regents for more than $2.9 million in professional fees for work by

roughly two dozen consultants, who are charging between $195 and $450 per hour, records show. The board has agreed to pay Deloitte up to $3.3 million in fees, plus expenses, and is considering whether to retain the firm to help implement some of its recommendations. Regents say they expect to save up to 10 times as much as what they spend on consultants.

The board hired Deloitte to look for ways to save money and operate the universities more efficiently in administrative and academic areas.

Regents will consider next month whether to

Templeton Rye owners defend whiskey’s marketing DES MOINES — The final ingredients of Templeton Rye are blended in Iowa, meaning the whiskey is made in the state, according to company owners who responded to several recent lawsuits alleging consumers were deceived by the product’s Indiana-based distilling process.

Co-founder Keith Kerkhoff told The Des Moines Register the Iowa-based company adds its own ingredients to the whiskey at their Templeton facility.

“Templeton Rye is very unique,” he said Monday. “To say it’s a stock whiskey made in Indiana that goes directly into the bottle is totally false.

It couldn’t be further from the truth.”

The company has been under scrutiny after revealing they

use a stock rye whiskey from an Indiana distillery before blending it with other ingredients in Iowa. At least three lawsuits claiming the company deceived customers are pending.

There’s also been criticism over Templeton’s marketing, which indicates the whiskey is a prohibition-era recipe handed down by Kerkhoff ’s grandfather.

Kerkhoff said federal regulations wouldn’t allow use of the recipe because its rye content was too low to be called a rye whiskey. But the company wanted to capitalize on the popularity of the rye whiskey made in Templeton during prohibition, he said. “(Templeton Rye) was known in New York City, it was

known in San Francisco,” Kerkhoff said. “It had a real rich history. We wanted to stay with the name Templeton Rye . that’s why we had to do what we did.”

Kerkhoff said Templeton Rye has worked with a Kentucky flavor-engineering company to help replicate the taste of the prohibition-era whiskey.

Kerkhoff also said the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau previously approved the company’s labels and completed audits without mentioning any concerns about consumer fraud.

Messages left with the bureau were not immediately returned Tuesday.

The company announced in August that it will change its labels to show it’s distilled in Indiana.

move forward with Deloitte’s plans to restructure human resources, information technology and finance operations, cutting as many as 250 jobs over time but saving tens of millions.

University of Northern Iowa employees expressed frustration with Deloitte representatives during a campus forum Monday, questioning how the plans were developed and the lack of specifics about how they would affect specific departments. Similar events are planned Thursday at the University of Iowa and Monday at Iowa State University.

Old Clear Lake water tower won’t become a home CLEAR LAKE — The Clear Lake City Council has taken another step toward tearing down an old water tower, thwarting a resident’s proposal to turn it into a home.

Aldin Stecker told the council Monday night about his plans for the 250,000-gallon tower and said he wanted to be a good neighbor to people who lived near it in the Four Winds neighborhood.

Some neighbors had shared their concerns about how turning the tower into a home would affect their property values or how it might attract gawkers who would stall local traffic. They also worried how fire and police would respond to an emergency at the tower that’s 150 feet tall.

The council ultimately voted 3-1 to hire an engineering firm for design and other services involved in the tower’s demolition. Councilman Jim Boehnke cast the dissenting vote and had asked other members to delay the issue so a survey could be conducted to see what Clear Lake residents wanted done with the tower.

The replacement water tower can hold a million gallons and is expected to be completed this fall.

Tearing down the existing structure will involve removing its concrete foundation and deconstructing its tank and legs.

Questions about Deloitte’s expenses arose after The Gazette in Cedar Rapids reported Aug. 5 that the firm had billed $220,000 without any supporting documentation. At a meeting the next day, regents said they would amend the contract to require receipts going forward and indicated they wanted them retroactively if possible.

Board President Bruce Rastetter said then that he didn’t want a controversy over the relatively small amount of expenses to overshadow the large and important cost-saving review that Deloitte is leading.

Race: Jasper County Recorder Why are you running for county recorder?

My motivation to run for Jasper County Recorder is simple. I have the knowledge and experience to bring to the position. I have over 23 years of service to Jasper County. I understand county government. I have worked in the course of my employment with lawyers, abstractors, surveyors, other professionals and most importantly,

the citizens of Jasper County. I understand the functions of the Recorder’s Office and the role those functions play in conAllan junction with other county offices. I have a deep seated commitment to this county.

What better way to continue that commitment than to run for Jasper County Recorder.

What can be done to make the recorder’s office run more

Marshall Critchfield

Affiliation: Republican Town: Newton

Race: Jasper County Recorder Why are you running for county recorder?

I am running for Jasper County Recorder because I care about the future of Newton and our surrounding communities. I believe my leadership experience and vision for Jasper County is exactly what we need to

Critchfield

take us to the next level. My strong educational background, coupled with my tested professional experience, make me a perfect fit for this position.

What can be done to make the recorder’s office run more efficiently?

“A combination of software, brains, and running

efficiently?

I believe there is always room for improvement. I am currently initiating debit/ credit availability in the office as requested frequently by the public. I also see a need to further develop information and services provided online such as DNR renewal notifications, informational and educational articles as well as forms. I also feel the office would run more efficiently by cross training employees.

What is most pressing issue the recorder’s office faces?

harder.” Jack Welch What is the most pressing issue the recorder’s office faces?

File storage and the technology that will be used to house official records are undoubtedly the greatest challenges facing the office.

Managing data as it pertains to security, accessibility and the rule of law will be my top priorities as Jasper County’s next recorder.

How would you differentiate yourself from your op-

I feel the most pressing issue at this point in time is the preservation of the recorder’s records in the event of a disaster. In the wake of the floods and tornadoes that have destroyed records in other counties, it is of the utmost importance to get these records preserved and stored in a secure manner for not only ourselves but future generations. It will also free up much needed space in the office.

How would you differentiate yourself from your opponent?

I have experience which

in my opinion is invaluable.

I know the roles of each office at the Courthouse and the parts they play in serving Jasper County. I have many skills including leadership and excellent customer service that have been developed from years of working in the Auditor’s Office and Recorder’s Office. I have completed my Deputy Recorder Certification of which I am very proud. I can bring much to the table as the next recorder. I will be a working recorder as I have an excellent work ethic. It means more than just a job to me.

ponent?

Education, work experience and leadership. I am proud of my academic achievements; having an MBA has given me a slight advantage over my peers in the private sector. I believe that when you know what is involved in a process, you have more freedom to conceptualize big ideas.

I have a truly diversified professional resume. I have worked in the U.S. Capitol and I have managed at both a mid-sized manufacturing company and a Fortune 500

Homebuilder. For nearly five years I have worked at Wells Fargo Home Mortgage in Des Moines, where I research and respond to loan origination escalations for the Office of the President.

From a leadership perspective, I have assumed the lead role in a number of civic organizations over the years. I plan to use my experiences in the classroom, the workforce, and the community to ensure that the people of Jasper County are getting the best value possible in their county recorder.

Secretary of state candidates seek new approach DES MOINES (AP) — The candidates running to succeed Secretary of State Matt Schultz are trying to distance themselves from his tenure, but for very different reasons.

Schultz, who is leaving office after serving one fouryear term, ran on a platform of tougher voter identification and fighting what he argued was problematic voter fraud.

Democrat Brad Anderson called it a failed legacy that did not improve the system. Republican Paul Pate declined to offer any comment on Schultz’s record, saying he preferred to look forward.

“It’s not my job to give him a report card,” said Pate, adding

Anderson

Pate

that he thought Schultz was a good person.

In contrast, Anderson said Schultz was “wasting our taxpayer dollars trying to prove the wave of cheating in Iowa that doesn’t exist.”

Schultz, who unsuccessfully sought to pass a voter ID law

and spent about $250,000 in a two-year investigation of election fraud, decided not to seek another term. He made a failed bid for the 3rd Congressional District Republican nomination and recently launched a campaign for Madison County attorney against the incumbent Democrat. His spokesman did not respond to a call for comment.

Anderson, a former Iowa campaign director for President Barack Obama, said he would work to expand access to the polls. He said he’d like to offer online voter registration and wants to make it possible to permanently cast absentee ballots. He also wants

all 99 counties in Iowa to use electronic poll books — computerized programs that allow poll workers to look up a voter’s registration, eligibility to vote, address, voting precinct location and other information.

“I set out initially to make Iowa number one in the nation in voter turnout,” Anderson said. He also said he wants to simplify the business licensing process, which the office also oversees.

Anderson opposes additional voter ID laws. He supports current law, which says any poll worker can ask any voter at any time for identification if the voter is unknown to the worker.

Pate, who previously served as secretary of state from 1995 to 1998, supports tougher voter ID legislation. He said he wants to create a computerized poll book system that would include driver’s license information, including photographs. He said such a system, coupled with an effort to help get IDs for all Iowans, would help prevent voter fraud.

“I think we need to improve the technology,” said Pate.

Pate said that his plan would help ensure identification was checked at the polls without disenfranchising voters. He also said his prior experience in the office would help him in the job.

Supreme Court gay marriage decision reignites GOP debate The Associated Press WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court’s gay marriage decision has reignited a debate inside the GOP that many Republican leaders hoped to avoid ahead of the 2016 presidential

contest.

The court’s decision Monday to reject appeals from five states that sought to prohibit same-sex marriage pits the GOP’s pragmatic wing eager to move past the divisive social issue against religious conservatives — a vo-

cal minority that vowed to redouble its efforts and punish those unwilling to join them.

Describing the decision as “judicial activism at its worst,” Texas Sen. Ted Cruz on Tuesday renewed his pledge to introduce a constitutional amendment

that would limit the court’s ability to strike down the remaining state laws blocking gays and lesbians from marrying. “We’re seeing right now an assault on traditional marriage,” he added.

Among the GOP’s crowded 2016 class, only a handful of

potential contenders — Cruz and former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, among them — aggressively criticized the court’s decision. Both will need support from religious conservatives to fuel a potential presidential bid.

Newton drops LHC match at home

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor Newton High’s Cardinals got what they asked for — a sea of pink and noise in the gym. On the night the Cardinals honored those battling cancer, they couldn’t provide a strong performance on the

volleyball court against visiting Oskaloosa.

“We had a great crowd tonight for such a wonderful event and great cause. We would really like to thank everyone who made it out tonight. Your support for our team, the Side-Out Foundation, breast cancer

research funding, and all of those who are affected by cancer greatly appreciate it,” said Laura Rowen, NHS head coach.

“The past week in practice the girls have really made great strides that we just did not see out on the court tonight.”

Oskaloosa’s Indians

Cardinal JV loses

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’s Justice Borger (left), Brian Bleakney (64) and Cole Peters (4) have Ballard’s Noah Rosing (29) hemmed in on this running play at Monday’s junior varsity game. Visiting Ballard defeated the Cardinal junior varsity, 27-7.

Newton High’s junior varsity football Cardinals put the first points on the scoreboard Monday night at H.A. Lynn Stadium. Unfortunately, it was the only touchdown of the night for the Cardinals as visiting Ballard won 27-7.

Newton’s touchdown came on a 64-yard bolt to the end zone by Jake Bennett on the Cardinals’ first possession of the game.

Josh Gulling kicked the extra-point for a 7-0 lead.

Ballard answered to tie it 7-7 and led 14-7 at halftime.

Newton’s offense was stymied after the first drive. The Cardinals had minus-2 yards of offense in the second quarter and 10 yards of offense in the fourth quarter.

Bennett finished with 85 yards of rushing for Newton. Dalton Nevels had 82 yards and Justice Borger rushed for 79 yards.

Keith Steinbach and Austin James led the Newton defense.

Newton’s junior varsity goes to Pella on Monday.

Anna Barr, a senior, competed in her last diving meet and did well, placing fifth with a score of 146.25.”

NCMP opened the meet by winning both the junior varsity and varsity medley relay events.

Sydney Jenkins, Hannah Rhoads, Hannah Scotton and Samantha Hedrick combined for the varsity win in 1 minute, 55.42 seconds. The junior varsity foursome of Abby Jolivette Olivia Maharry, Elizabeth Myers and Kaelee Knoll won its race.

The Aquagirls took over the butterfly events and the winners were not even regular swimmers of the even, Patterson said.

Seirra Griffith won the junior varsity race. Jenkins won the varsity race with a “sizzling time” of 1:05.75 and Elizabeth Myers took second in 1:08.47.

Scotton, Jenkins, Rachel Prendergast and Hedrick swam close to their season best time in winning the 200-yard freestyle relay race in 1:43.61.

That came after NCMP’s junior varsity team of Jessica Zahn, Jolivette, Alexis DeVries and Willa Colville claimed a victory.

“Sophomore and newthis-year to swimming, Kaitlyn Barnes did her first 500 freestyle. The team was so proud of her, and everyone was cheering her on,” Patterson said.

“Overall, it was great meet for this time of season. Fatigue has set in and it’s a constant battle to be a warrior at the meets. I am proud of the girls for how they raced and went after their times.”

Katherine Thorpe had her best time in the 100 backstroke, 1:17.58, placing her second in the junior varsity race. Rhoads swam the 100 back for the first time and placed second in the varsity race with a very fast 1:06.66, Patterson said.

Hedrick won the varsity 100 breaststroke in 1:11.73 and DeVries won the junior varsity event in 1:22.97. The NCMP junior varsity 400 freestyle relay team of Stout, Griffith, Colville and Knoll won with a time of 4:06.85. In varsity competition, NCMP placed second and third.

Colfax-Mingo experiences first fifth-set loss

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer COLFAX — ColfaxMingo played its first five-set match of the season Tuesday night.

The result was disappointingly familiar.

After roaring back from a two-set deficit, the Tigerhawks struggled to muster an offensive attack when it mattered most against Melcher-Dallas, leading to a 25-20, 25-17, 1425, 14-25, 15-7 loss.

“The fifth game was the same as the first two sets. It’s just errors,” Colfax-Mingo head coach Michelle Grant said. “Those first two sets were rough, then we did it right, and then we went back to rough.”

Melcher-Dallas started the fifth set with serve and quickly took control before Colfax-Mingo had a chance to respond.

The Saints built a 4-0 lead before Colfax-Mingo called time out, and then Melcher-Dallas’ lead increased to 10-1.

Of the first 10 points Melcher-Dallas scored in the fifth set, six came by virtue of ColfaxMingo hitting or service errors.

“This is just a frustrating one to let go, especially the way we let it go. We ended on an error,” Grant said. “They went on that big run;

I think we had errors on almost all of their points.”

A big momentum swing halfway through the match forced the fifth set.

Melcher-Dallas cruised to wins in the first two sets thanks to big runs. With the teams tied at 15 in the second set, the Saints rattled off seven unanswered points en route to taking what seemed at the time like a commanding 2-0 lead in the match.

Colfax-Mingo’s play improved significantly in the third and fourth sets, highlighted by strong serves off the right hand of Ries Wilson. With the score tied at 4 in the fourth set, Wilson recorded three aces during a run that ended with the Tigerhawks up 12-4.

“I knew I had to get the points for my team because if I didn’t, then who knows how it could go,” Wilson said. “We have to take the serves we can and I just knew I had to fulfill my position.”

Part of what unwound Colfax-Mingo (3-16) Tuesday night is a tendency Grant said she’s noticed before. The Tigerhawks struggled to rebound after MelcharDallas’ runs in the first, second and fifth sets, and have experienced similar woes in practice.

Ben Schuff/Daily News Colfax-Mingo’s Dakota Hostetter drops to a knee to receive a serve against Melcher-Dallas Tuesday night in Colfax. Melcher-Dallas beat Colfax-Mingo, 25-20, 25-17, 14-25, 14-25, 15-7.

“We’ll be in the middle of a drill and we’re going to get to x amount of passes or serves, and we hit a rut where we just don’t get any good passes (and) the number doesn’t go up. And we do it in games where all of a sudden we can’t get the point back. We get stuck and all of a sudden they get six or seven in a row.

“We can’t get the ex-

citement back. Nobody will step up and make a play. Everybody is looking at the next girl to make the play.”

Grant attributed part of that to an inexperienced and young team that routinely had four or five underclassmen on the floor against Melcher-Dallas.

“Every set it feels like (the opponent) gets an eight point run and we

come back a little bit, but we can’t come all the way back,” Grant said.

“We just have to get them out of those runs.

They can’t get in that run where we get down on ourself and we start looking at everybody else like, ‘I don’t want to do it. Do you want to do it?’ That’s where we’re at right now. They can’t have those runs anymore.”

Newton: Cardinals lose to Oskaloosa in three sets Continued from Page 1B all week in practice and not worry so much about playing the team across the net. We focus on us, on doing the little things, fighting hard for every ball and the big picture will come,” Rowen said.

Before the varsity match, the Cardinal volleyball team an-

nounced its funds raised for the Side-Out Foundation on Dig Pink for breast cancer awareness. Honorary coach Peggy Smith, aunt of NHS team member Jessie Smith, represented cancer patients and was given a large check for the team’s $1,093 raised.

The final amount raised by the team was $1,300.

Newton fell behind

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’s Fran Lucas serves the volleyball in Tuesday’s home match against Oskaloosa. The visiting Indians defeated the Cardinals, 25-15, 25-18, 25-12.

Oskaloosa, 11-6, but battled back to within one, 11-10. Senior Sydney Hemann served three straight points for the Cardinals. The Indians got the serve back and rattled off six consecutive points to stake out a 10-point lead in the first set.

In the second set, the Cardinals were behind 7-3 and Hemann served up five straight points.

The second point came after the Cardinals waited for the ball to fall back down from the ceiling netting, then they made a play to get the ball back over the net.

There was another wait in that set. There was a problem in the score book. Play resumed with Oskaloosa moving out to an 11-10 lead.

Ryanne Rausch was at the service line for Newton when Courtney Jacobsen made a tip for a point. Rausch served two points but the Cardinals could not string enough points together on serves. They were down 22-18 when the Indians served out the set with the final three points.

Oskaloosa pushed out to a 9-2 lead in the third set and Newton never got back in the match.

Hemann served up nine points and had one ace serve for the Cardinals. Rausch had four points and Taylor Shipley served for three points. Fran Lucas and Bailey Davis each had

one point on an ace serve. Megan Pressgrove had one service point.

At the net, Pressgrove had four kills followed

by Hemann with three kills. Emily Fitzgerald, Jacobsen and Lucas each had two kills. Morgan Allen and Rausch had one kill apiece.

Rausch, Allen, Fitzgerald and Pressgrove each had one block assist.

Hemann was credited with nine set assists and Pressgrove had four set assists.

Lucas came up with eight digs and Rausch had six digs. Pressgrove had five digs and Shipley had four digs. Hemann had two digs and Jacobsen had one dig.

Oskaloosa won the junior varsity match, 25-23, 25-19. Audrey Lucas, Jacobsen and Jessie Smith each had three kills followed by Stephanie Hoboheinrich and Lucy Lilienthal with two kills apiece.

Adrienne Bergman had one kills. Hoboheinrich put up seven set assists.

Carter Lee had 10 digs for the NHS junior varsity. Lucas had five digs, Jacobsen had three digs and Bergman had two digs. Lilienthal and Lucas each had two service aces and Jacobsen had one service ace.

“We had moments of brilliance with great hits, blocks and rallies, followed by moments of not-so-great volleyball.

We would let them run three and four serves at a time. It’s hard to win matches when you are constantly trying to play

catch-up,” said Mallory Sturtz, NHS assistant coach.

“Overall, the girls played well. I was proud of how they battled back from as much as 10 points at one time. We are going to work hard this week and really focus on tip coverage as well as the ability to side out immediately.”

Newton’s freshmen posted a 28-26, 13-25, 15-11 win over Oskaloosa. Alexis Hoffman had four kills, one solo block, two digs and two ace serves for the Cardinals. Jordan Banfield put up eight set assists and had two digs.

Mackenzie Johnson made 20 digs and served three aces. Kayla Sopher had one kill and one ace serve, while Liz McVey had one ace and two digs, Addy Blom had one kill and two digs and Katie Suttek had one kill.

“The freshmen played some very good volleyball tonight. We came out ready to play, winning the first set, but in the second set we were out our zone,” said Jennifer Mouchka, NHS freshman coach. “The girls came back the third set and fought hard for every point to win. We were short on numbers so the girls stepped up and played well.”

This full Aries moon brings up a good point: It is easier to concentrate on the overall picture from a lofty perch. How can you get above the problem, above the riffraff, above the whole scene? Physical elevation is ideal, but if that’s not possible, send your thoughts to the moon and ask them to look down from his perspective.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 8). Your fierce independent streak combines with a surge of imagination at the top of your solar year, sending you off on an unexpected adventure. You’ll love how irresistible forces mold your affections in November. Family will count on you, and you’ll make them proud at the end of the year. Aquarius and Gemini people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 23, 1, 19 and 6.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A moral dilemma will come up. The funny thing is that the traditional advice will seem not to apply. Right or wrong isn’t always so clear-cut.

What would bring the

greatest good for the most people involved?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). The qualities that will serve you best today are tenacity and loyalty. You may not feel naturally inclined toward these qualities, and that’s what makes your efforts in this regard superhuman.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your winning smile will attract attention — you’ll get a fair share of offers. Of course, you’ll use your powers of charm for good. The question is for whose good.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You win a victory for humanity with every good deed you do.

Lately, you’re racking up the smaller wins, which is getting you ready for something big that’s coming.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Getting in sync will be an issue. First it will seem as though things are moving too fast, and then it will seem that they are mov-

ing too slow. Look at this like it’s a test to help you regulate yourself with your surroundings.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll be asked to do unreasonable things, which is annoying and maybe frustrating. You could also look at these requests as flattering and a sign that people think of you as mighty.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). The saying “the more the merrier” only applies when you have enough plates. And chairs. When that’s covered, indeed, the saying holds true. So open up the invite!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). A simple misunderstanding can grow into an irreconcilable difference if neglected. The thing to do now is read the situation correctly. If there’s tension, pursue it.

Reach out and apologize for your part in it.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Unresolved matters will be brought to your attention. You’ll see where you were

less than gentle in your expectations of yourself.

Tonight, seize the opportunity to empathize with the challenges and joys experienced by others.

CANCER (June 22July 22). Losing feels like winning, and vice versa. Therefore, don’t be too concerned about how you’re doing in the game. As far as your strategy goes, you won’t regret making the kind choice.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You value your time and won’t waste it. You have certain obligations, and you’ll find a way to fulfill them joyfully, because what’s done begrudgingly ultimately won’t count for much.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). As the leader, how you communicate your vision will be key.

Repeat the essential information. Cover the main bases first, and whatever slips through the cracks won’t be too bad of a loss.
