Police: Newton man attempts to kill 3 people with his vehicle

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News A Newton man faces three counts of attempted murder for allegedly trying to kill three people, including a 5-month-old child, by striking them with his vehicle.

John L. Britton, 50, was arrested just before 10 p.m.

Britton

Monday when officers responded to the scene on the 600 block of South Third Avenue East in Newton.

Officers found a 25-year-old male victim

had been intentionally struck by a vehicle driven by Britton.

The victim was transported to Skiff Medical Center with non-life threatening injuries.

Police say Britton was also intentionally striking a vehicle in the roadway multiple times — the car was occupied by a the 5-month-old victim and a 50-year-old female vic-

tim. Neither sustained any injuries.

Britton told police officers his intention was “to kill them all.”

Britton is charged with three counts of attempted murder, a Class B felony, which is punishable by up to 25 years in prison. He also faces charges for reckless driving

and leaving the scene of an accident. Britton remains at the Jasper County Jail and is scheduled for an initial court appearance Tuesday afternoon. The case remains under investigation.

Council OKs agreement between city, Iowa Speedway

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Marketing counsel Leigh McGivern (right) was invited to Monday night’s special Newton Community School District board of education work session. McGivern painted a bleak picture of all the tasks and steps to be taken to help a bond issue pass in a Feb. 2 election, leading to board members expressing doubts about attempting a bond election that soon.

Specialist tells board February bond vote would be ‘scary’

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Although Monday night’s Newton Community School District board of education work session didn’t feature any votes or official board action, the news delivered at the meeting was grim regarding the idea of a planned Feb. 2 bond election.

Leigh McGivern, a marketing specialist and the owner of Ba-

sicleigh Communications, was invited to speak at the work session. She didn’t give much detail on anything on the long list of tasks that need to be completed if a school district wants to pass a general-obligation issue, but the enormity of tasks caused several board members to express doubts about the timeline.

When asked by board member Ann Leonard what she feels is the appropriate time frame to

get the message out to public about a bond vote, McGivern didn’t mince words.

“Six months would be the very least amount of time I would leave to try and do all this,” McGivern said. “Nine months is good. Six months is OK. Four months is scary.”

McGivern said Newton’s planned reconfiguration for the BOND | 3A

Changes to the development agreement between the City of Newton and the Iowa Speedway were approved by the N e w ton City Council on MonKnabel day. The changes to the agreement provide an additional property tax rebate, increases the minimum assessed valuation, decreases the ticket surcharge and commits the city to complete the paving of Lincoln Street.

“In order to facilitate the sale of the Iowa Speedway to NASCAR, the City of Newton amended the original development agreement with US Motorsport in 2013,” city administrator Bob Knabel said.

The original amendment change in 2013 lowered the minimum assessed valuation from

$40 million to $20 million, but added in a $4 ticket surcharge to replace the lost tax revenue. When the 2013 agreement was approved, it was thought that lowering the minimum assessed valuation would allow the 2014 valuation to be lowered to the low $20 million range. That did not occur, and the valuation stayed at $40 million.

That happened, in part, because of the city’s late recording of the amendment.

The Iowa Speedway did not receive notice and did not realize until it was too late to appeal.

By 2015, the speedway was able to lower the valuation to $22.68 million.

The 2013 amendment included a twoyear property tax rebate to account for the delayed effect in property taxation. It account for the valuation staying at $40 million one year longer than planned, the city agreed to rebate the TIF property taxes COUNCIL | 3A

One injured, no fatalities in crash on F48 west of Newton

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News One person was injured Monday afternoon during a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of Highway F48 West and County Highway S52.

The accident, which blocked traffic at 1:55 p.m. for approximate-

ly 30 minutes, occurred when a red Buick passenger car traveling southbound on Highway S52 drove through a stop sign and T-boned a Chevrolet Trail Blazer traveling westbound on Highway F48.

The Blazer came to a stop in the highway’s westbound ditch.

The driver of the

Blazer, 31-year-old Cortiney Sprague of Colfax, was transported to a Des Moines hospital following the accident. The driver of the Buick, 30-year-old Sara Burns of Newton, was cited with failure to obey a stop sign as a result of the accident but ACCIDENT | 3A

A major isBerndt sue is to bring more jobs back into Newton. With the loss of Maytag, a lot has been done, but I feel that more companies would be great for Newton to improve the

economy. One way to accomplish this would be to come up with a lower tax for commercial property in order for businesses to afford to want to come to Newton.

What do you think has been the biggest achievement of the city council in the last four years and what do you think has been the greatest struggle?

Lower taxes and contact some different companies to show Newton has plenty of commercial buildings available for sale/lease. A diverse employee base is something Newton has and any business that would come to town would benefit greatly from this.

Bureau County Republican Specialty-crop projects that deal with apples and other tree crops, such as nuts, are eligible for the annual Specialty Crop Block Grant Program from the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service.

Twelve Iowa projects received a combined nearly $300,000 in specialty-crop grants this year.

Grants for 12 specialty crop producers announced USDA funds will help groups promoting fruits, vegetables, nuts, flowers

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Twelve Iowa projects have received annual USDA grants to help enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops grown in Jasper County and throughout Iowa.

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey announced Oct. 14 that nearly $300,000 has been awarded through the Specialty Crop Block Grant Program from the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service. The grants will go to 12 entities that produce or educate in the field of specialty crops.

“Specialty crops are a very important part of Iowa agriculture as they allow farmers to diversify and give customers access to locally grown products,” Northey said.

“These federal funds will support food safety, research and marketing efforts that will encourage Iowans to choose fruits, vegetables, nuts and flowers that are produced right here in our state.”

Specialty crops that are eligible under this program are fruits and vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits and horticulture and nursery crops, including floriculture.

The total block grant is not the same for each state every year.

In 2013, for example, the USDA only made about $270,000 available for Iowa specialty crop grants.

Iowa agricultural nonprofit organizations, cooperatives, specialty crop industry associations or organizations and producer groups were eligible to apply for funding. Public comment was invited from specialty crop stakeholders; a review committee helped review, evaluate and make recommendations on which grant proposals should receive funding.

The maximum grant award to sub-grantees within Iowa is

$24,000. Administrative and indirect costs were not allowed.

The grant proposal requirements, as with most government grants, require a long, detailed plan for how the grant money will be spent. A budget must be detailed, with certain deviations only allowed with permission from a state department of agriculture.

Task assignments must be made for individuals with specific job titles or roles. Timelines should not start before Oct. 1.

The 12 grant recipients for 2016 are: • Prairie Moonwort Hops Farm, LLC: $9,100 to determine the viability of hops plants, within the small-plot (less than 10-acres) field common in the Loess Hills region of western Iowa and to prove the marketability of locally grown hops to the emerging craftbeer industry.

• Iowa Department of Public Health (WIC): $24,000 to increase the sales of fruit and vegetables at Iowa farmers markets and the consumption of various specialty crops resulting from an advertising campaign promoting the usage of the farmers market checks distributed to WIC participants.

• Iowa Lakes Community College: $20,000 to educate community youth, adults with disabilities, college students and community patrons on specialty crop gardening, the nutritional benefits of locally-grown food, the physical benefits of gardening and the economic resourcefulness of local produce programs.

• Practical Farmers of Iowa: $24,000 to enhance collaborative on-farm research and farmer to farmer knowledge sharing for successful specialty crops in Iowa.

• Iowa Food Hub (doing busi-

ness as Allamakee New Beginnings): $10,500 to enhance the Good Agricultural Practices/ Good Handling Practices cost share program for Iowa fruit and vegetable producers.

• Iowa Honey Producers Association: $8,581 to establish an online searchable bee law website for general public use.

• Lutheran Services of Iowa: $24,000 to help refugees in Iowa improve their production of specialty crops and increase the availability of their produce to the public and to begin to transition their specialty crop businesses to independent operations.

• Iowa City Parks and Rec: $23,990 to create and teach within edible classrooms in order to promote specialty crops in Iowa City for community involvement at the Robert A. Lee Recreation Center.

• New Hope Community, Inc.: $22,643 to establish and create the Mahaska County Season Extension Demonstration Project for specialty crop production.

• Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s Farm-to-School Program: $14,900 to teach students through hands-on lessons about all aspects of gardening and healthy environmental alternatives to composting in a specialty crop environment.

• Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship: $46,693 to conduct the Iowa commercial horticulture food crops survey and economic impact study.

• The Iowa Wine Trail: $24,000 to increase awareness of specialty grape crops in Iowa through a marketing campaign.

Dry, warm weather allows for scheduled harvesting, secretary says DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“The warm dry weather has allowed farmers to make good progress and now 83 percent of soybeans and 52 percent of corn has been harvested. Corn harvest is now on pace with the five-year average after previously lagging behind,” Northey said. “The dry, windy and warm weather have allowed crops to dry quickly and farmers are encouraged to continue to exercise caution as the conditions exist for fires to start and potentially spread quickly.”

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov.

Warm, dry, and windy conditions allowed Iowa farmers to harvest nearly one-quarter of the State’s corn for grain during the week ending Oct. 18.

Fieldwork activities for the week included harvesting corn for grain, harvesting soybeans, fall tilling, and spreading manure. Reported concerns for the week included field fires due to the dry, windy conditions and stalk quality with a few reports of wind damage.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 4 percent very short, 22 percent short, 70 percent adequate, and 4 percent surplus.

Virtually all of the corn crop was mature or beyond this week, one week ahead of last year, and two days ahead of the five-year average. Fifty-two percent of the corn for grain has been harvested, nearly 2 weeks ahead of last year, and equal to the average.

Moisture content of all corn being harvested was 17 percent, down two percentage points from the previous week. Ninety-seven percent of soybeans were dropping leaves or beyond, two days behind normal.

Eighty-three percent of the soybean crop has been harvested, 10 days ahead of last year, and two days ahead of average.

Pasture condition rated 58 percent good to excellent. Livestock conditions were described as excellent.

The second element of the new amendment commits the city to paving Lincoln Street, which is located on the eastern boundary of the speedway property. The estimated cost of the project is approximately $600,000 and will be funded by the 2015 TIF bonding project and unanticipated taxes paid by the speedway. With the paving, circulation and safety will improve around the speedway.

Finally, the city will increase the minimum assessed valuation by $2.5 million to $22.5 million to better match the valuation that had been set. The ticket surcharge will be lowered from $4 to $3 to collect a minimum of $320,000, down from $390,000.

Bond

Continued from Page 1A 2016-17 school year will involve redrawing boundaries, further complicating Newton’s attempt to get its message out about a bond to reconstruct the Berg Complex.

She also pointed out the Feb. 1 Iowa Democratic and Republican caucuses, which are set to take place the day before the bond election, will make it tougher to get voters to focus on schools during that month and week.

“All the voters’ political energy is going to focused on the caucuses,” she said.

A bond committee, comprised of about 30 Newton-area school, civic and business-community leaders, has met twice with personnel from the Des Moines-area design firm Frevert, Ramsey and Kobes. The two sessions with FRK went so well, the committee asked the architect to create preliminary drawings, to be presented at a meeting tentatively scheduled for Oct. 29.

I feel the campaign is great and has made New-

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Board members and other Newton Community School District staff members interact during an exercise that was a part of Monday night’s work session, held in the Emerson Hough conference room.

A revised, refined design concept will later become part of the district’s pitch to encourage voters to pass the bond — presumably on the next available state-permitted date, Feb. 2. The other available dates allowed by the state for school bond elections in 2016 are April 5, Sept. 13 and Dec. 6, and a failed proposal cannot be brought back to the voters for at least six months.

“How many people turned out for the last school board election, how many registered voters are there in Newton and how do they receive information?” McGivern said. “These are questions we need to answer first.

If you’re really passionate about this bond passing, a couple of more months would probably put you in a better position.”

ton look a lot better. To continue the progress, we need to entice some new businesses to be up on the square as an example to lure more people to show in town.

This issue has come up a lot with the people I have talked with. One frustration people have is they feel that certain streets are paid attention to better than others. Figuring out which streets need to be either resurfaced or completely fixed is something the city needs to address otherwise it could take away from the progress of the Get to Know Newton campaign.

Poor street conditions are often mentioned by Newton residents. How do you think the city should address the problem and is there any public input that could be useful?

Keeping Me on My Toes

Dancing the night away

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Oct. 20, 2015

For the past several months, I have been involved in the fundraising effort for the 3-year-old preschool program at PCM schools. After finding out toward the end of the school year that the program would no longer receive funding and needed to find other options, a group of other concerned parents and I got together and worked to make sure the program would continue.

This past weekend was our largest fundraiser to date, and I think the most fun. In the PCM community, we had never had a father-daughter dance. When the idea came up in brainstorming, I knew it would be a hit. I had attended the Newton event last year and saw what seemed like hundreds and dads and daughters dancing the night away and having a great time.

After weeks of planning and

purchasing, getting princess packages ready and watching the numbers grow from 30 to 70 to more than 90 little girls, we were ready to decorate Friday. For my oldests’ birthday party last year, I did a princess theme with tulle cascading across the room for the perfect setting. I thought it would be really neat to do the same idea, except on a much larger scale in the high school lunch room, where the dance was being held.

In order to achieve the look, I needed to be able to get to the ceiling, which was way out of the reach of the ladder I had.

After a brief lesson from my husband, I was off on a scissors lift, going high in the sky to attach the “chandelier” and yards of tulle from the center of the room to each corner. I think by the end I had gotten pretty good at it, maneuvering it forward and backward, up

and down.

With the balloon arch, lighted walkway and a dozen other special touches in place, what ended up looking like a mini-prom was ready for our guests of honor Saturday night.

I felt like we had a pretty good plan of attack for getting the girls ready on Saturday. I had muled over the idea of bringing them to get their nails done at a shop, but when a work engagement came up it made my decision much easier.

After I got home, they ate an early dinner and went straight to the bath tub. When they were squeaky clean, they put on their “special robes” and got special manicures and pedicures including sparkley pink and purple polish from me.

The battle that was getting their hair brushed and dried ensued before they were ready to get their “princess dresses” on and sit to get their hair

curled. By the end of the two hour process, I had two pretty princesses very excited to dance with their daddy.

The dance was a huge success putting our fundraising goals over the top and letting 90 plus little girls get dolled up and have a great time with their friends and dads. My girls were non-stop the whole event, running, dancing, playing and eating some of the delicious goodies made by some talented moms.

I hope the tradition of the father-daughter dance continues in the future as new sets of parents work toward making the preschool program available. I think we kicked it off with a pretty great dance, and I am already looking forward to next year.

Imagine winter with green energy

By Merrill Matthews Imagine if radical environmentalists successfully convinced local officials across the country to drop fossil fuels and instead embrace green energy.

This isn’t farfetched. Cities across the country have been moving in this direction for years.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, environmentalists have managed to convince 29 states to adopt “renewable portfolio standards.”

RPSs require utilities to make sure a specific percentage of the energy they offer is from renewable sources like solar, wind, and hydropower. In California, for example, utilities must produce a third of their electricity from renewables by 2020. Maine is aiming for 40 percent by 2017.

One environmental group claims that 96 cities in the United States, the United Kingdom, and a few other countries are making the transition from fossil fuels to 100 percent renewable energy.

But with winter coming, though, it’s worth analyzing what such a world would look like.

Let’s begin with heating. Under this scenario, city residents wouldn’t be able to use heating oil or natural

gas because those are fossil fuels.

Their access to electricity would most likely depend on wind and solar power.

But there is very little sunshine during snowstorms, and acres of solar panels would likely be covered in snow, anyway.

Wind would be catastrophically expensive. Just look at Massachusetts’ plan to put 130 electricity-generating windmills in Nantucket Sound. After securing a $780 million taxpayer-funded credit and a $150 million loan guarantee from the U.S. government to build the windmills, the two utilities that were willing to pay above-market prices for that energy pulled out of the deal saying project administrators misled them. Now the project is mired in lawsuits and doubt.

Streets would also remain covered in snow all winter.

After all, without fossil fuels, city-owned snowplows would be limited to the distance a fully charged battery provides. But batteries don’t get electric vehicles very far on a single charge, between 50 and 80 miles — and that’s for very lightweight cars. Snowplows and dump trucks are heavy machinery doing energy-consuming work, like scooping up snow and trans-

porting it to the countryside.

In short, city life would quickly turn into city death without fossil fuels.

Thankfully, Americans have ready access to fossil fuels to heat (and cool) their homes and to power their cars.

Americans’ need for fossil fuels becomes particularly strong as the temperature drops. Last winter saw record low temperatures in mid-west cities and record snowfalls in New England. And yet fossil fuels were able to meet the demand.

As U.S. energy demand continues to increase, oil and natural gas will still provide most of the energy the country needs. The federal government’s Energy Information Administration projects that U.S. oil production will average 9.3 million barrels a day this year.

Fossil fuels provide 67 percent of our energy today, and the EIA estimates that renewable energy sources will only account for 16 percent by 2040.

Alternative sources simply can’t create enough energy to help Americans through blizzards and extreme winters.

Some years ago, some magazine writer who wears slim-fit shirts coined t h e phrase “staycation,” to either put a smile on his own poverty or (and this is By Marc Dion far less likely) on the poverty of others. Staycation means you stay home on vacation, as I’m doing this week. Between my wife and I, both us only children, we have three elderly parents in various states of ill health. All our vacations are stay.

On my staycation, I’ve eaten breakfast in a different diner every day and continued to work my way through a biography of Stonewall Jackson.

Sounds boring, no?

It might have been.

But early in the week, I received that volume of autumn erotica known as The Swiss Colony catalogue. The Swiss Colony, located way out yonder in Wisconsin, is a mail-order purveyor of cheese and sausage and baked goods and jerky.

I usually get the first catalogue of the year in late September. Once I get that first one, their catalogues arrive with great regularity throughout the Christmas season.

I don’t order until the beginning of December, but I always order something for Christmas — usually in the sausage and cheese family.

I take the catalogue to bed with me at night and, in those delicious, drowsing, moments before sleep, I leaf through it, making choices. I usually get some kind of candy for my wife, sausage and cheese for myself,

sugar-free candy for the elders.

When I was a kid, we got those catalogues and, while we weren’t poor, we couldn’t afford to order decorative food through the mails. I still remember the Christmas my mother’s employer, a portly dentist, gave her a huge package of sausage, cheese, ham, candy and other good things, all from The Swiss Colony.

Unfortunately, the dentist had purchased the gift months in advance and stored it in a nonrefrigerated place. By the time my mother brought it home, everything but the hard candy and the mustard had spoiled. I was 11. My mother, a minimum-wage receptionist in that dentist’s office, thanked him politely for the gift she’d thrown in the trash. After that, when the catalogues arrived in our house, I took them for my own and read them in bed, pretending to order things.

My wife, it turns out, likewise fantasized about The Swiss Colony catalogue that arrived, unsolicited at her family’s home when she was a child. She was particularly fond of “Chris Mouse,” the made-of-chocolate mouse in a Santa hat who is the company’s holiday mascot. I bought her one the first year were married.

“I musta told three guys I went out with that I wanted Chris Mouse,” she said. “Back in high school. I never got one.”

My staycation is going just fine. The old folks are getting the help they need. I have my catalogue and enough money to buy a couple of things after I’ve read through it 50 or 60 times. My childhood continues.

FAMILY CIRCUS

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Oct. 20, 2015

Wife needs a wake-up call on family’s sleeping patterns DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been married 16 years. We have three boys, ages 12, 6 and 2. My 6-year-old doesn’t sleep in his bed. He sleeps on the couch. My wife sleeps in a recliner in the den. The 2-year-old usually sleeps with her. Sometimes he sleeps in a crib in our room. I sleep by myself in a king-size bed.

There is no possibility for romance. The only time there can be is when my wife comes to bed. If this happens, I know something is going to take place, but I have no chance to initiate. Our sex life is totally up to her. Once a month or so is fine with her, but not for me.

I have told her how I feel about our “sleeping arrangements,” but nothing has changed. I know I snore, but she has not complained about it keeping her awake or used it as an excuse.

Our 6-year-old will not sleep in his bed as long as his mother sleeps in the recliner. The longer this goes on, the harder it will be to get him in his bed. Do you have any advice on what I should do or say about this situation? — SLEEPING SOLO IN THE SOUTH DEAR SLEEPING SOLO: Obviously this arrangement isn’t working for you. Unless you want to live the rest of your life this way, you are complaining to the wrong woman.

Your wife is doing the children no favors by allowing these unorthodox sleeping arrangements. It’s time to lay your cards on the table with her.

Tell her you need some straight answers about why she’s unwilling to share your bed. But if her answers are not forthcoming, marriage counseling may be necessary to improve your level of communication.

DEAR ABBY: I recently saw a link on Facebook to a fundraising site for the son of a childhood friend.

(He is under 18.) When I clicked

on it, I discovered he is in rehab at a private-care facility that requires he stay for months. It is very expensive. I contributed as generously as I could, considering my limited finances, and received a thank-you for my support.

I was happy to help.

Now, less than three weeks later, I’m seeing pictures of my friend on vacation. I don’t plan to say anything to this person, but I have learned a valuable lesson. From now on, I will donate my hard-earned money only to organizations I believe in and have researched.

Is this a new trend, people asking others to fund their family problems so they can go on with life as usual? I recently saw a GoFundMe page for a funeral, and I know the family is welloff. I think this is very tacky. Or am I behind the times? Your thoughts? — NO VACATION FOR ME DEAR NO VACATION: More than a few individuals are using crowdfunding to pay for various things. It has helped some people enormously in their time of need.

But for someone who is not in need to do this, I agree is tacky. However, regardless of what you and I may think, it’s happening nonetheless.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained, I guess.

In 1898, Howard Snyder, a rural Austin, Minnesota farm boy accepted an offer from Frederick L. Maytag to start working at the Parsons Band Cutter & Self Feeder Company in Newton, Iowa. This marked the start of Snyder’s inventive career of nearly thirty years culminating in a series of innovations that propelled the Maytag name to the forefront as an iconic brand among washing machine manufacturers. Dr. Tom Hoover, a Newton Iowa historian, has written a book entitled How We Made The Gyrafoam: The Story of Two Midwestern Farm Boys Who Changed Washday Mondays Forever, which is now available. The book follows the life of Howard Snyder, raised near Rose Creek, Minnesota, and reveals the role Frederick L. Maytag, a farm boy from Laurel, Iowa, played as his benefactor and friend. Together these two outstanding men led The Maytag Company to the top of the washing machine world in 1926.

Prison review finds security lapses in escape of Iowa inmate IOWA CITY (AP) — An Iowa inmate practiced how he would slither out of his prison cell through a tight space for several days before timing his escape during July Fourth fireworks in the hope that tower guards would be distracted, according to a review released Monday.

Justin Kestner wasn’t discovered missing for about seven

hours, at least in part because guards at the prison in Fort Madison were fooled by a makeshift dummy he left under blankets on his bed. Kestner stole a car after his escape but was captured July 5 near Geneseo, Illinois, following a two-state search.

Iowa State Penitentiary warden Nick Ludwick released the review into Kestner’s escape,

which The Associated Press requested under the open records law.

The review found “policy and procedural errors” including the lack of timely rounds by guards and a failure to keep accurate log entries and an inventory of Kestner’s property. Employees failed to notice as Kestner stockpiled items used to make the dummy — milk cartons for arms and

insulation for the head — and bedsheets that he fashioned into 77 feet of rope that he planned to use to descend from the prison’s roof. The report didn’t explain how Kestner obtained those items, but prison spokeswoman Rebecca Bowker said Kestner is believed to have acted alone.

Kestner, a convicted armed robber, managed to escape from his cell in the maximum-security

A-Pod, where some of the state’s most unruly inmates were confined 23 hours a day.

After being placed in that cell June 25 for disciplinary reasons, Kestner noticed some screws on his steel shower were partially loose. He worked the screws out and used those screws to remove the rest, which gave him access to a narrow pipe chase adjacent to his cell.

UI pays $150,000 in deal with ex-study abroad director IOWA CITY (AP) — The University of Iowa has paid $150,000 to settle a lawsuit brought by its former study abroad director, who claimed her job was eliminated after she complained about being bullied and took leave for depression.

The agreement with Janis Perkins, obtained

by The Associated Press, avoids a trial in the three-year-old case and compensates her for lost wages, emotional distress and legal fees. The deal also means there will be no resolution to a significant dispute over whether the university’s office of ombudsman has a legal privilege that allows it to avoid testifying about its handling of workplace complaints.

“We are pleased that the university recognized Janis’ long and loyal service,” said her attorney, Roxanne Conlin.

The university denied any wrongdoing in the settlement. It has contended that Perkins’ job was eliminated in a “comprehensive reorganization” of its international programs that also resulted in the layoff of another administrator.

Perkins became the school’s first study abroad director in 1997, and is credited with leading the program through tremendous growth. In her lawsuit, she alleged that her job was hastily cut in 2012 after she was the victim of disability discrimination and retaliation.

Perkins suffered from medical and mental health conditions throughout her employment, including severe depression and an autoimmune disorder, which required treatment and periodic absences. She received positive evaluations throughout her tenure and was promoted to assistant dean of international programs in 2010.

Perkins claims she was placed on a performance improvement plan in 2011 that required her to address numerous alleged shortcomings, two months after she had received a positive review that didn’t note any such concerns. She claimed that the plan was unfair and required changes in areas she couldn’t control and she raised concerns with her superiors and university ombudsman Cynthia Joyce. While minor changes were made to the plan, Perkins’ lawsuit claimed two superiors “spent the next four months bullying, harassing, and discriminating against” her.

Newton harriers compete at middle school state cross country meet

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News ANKENY — Newton’s Berg Middle School cross country runners competed in Saturday’s 2015 Iowa Middle School State cross country meet to claim three medals in three of the four races in Class 3A. Medals were awarded to the top 50 runners in each race.

Back home, Blue Jays break out to beat Royals 11-8 in Game 3 TORONTO (AP) — Troy Tulowitzki, Josh Donaldson and the slugging Toronto Blue Jays were eager to return to their homer dome after dropping the first two games of the AL Championship Series in Kansas City.

They showed everyone why.

The Blue Jays came out swinging and their rowdy fans were singing from the start, with Tulowitzki and Donaldson connecting in a

six-run third inning as Toronto roughed up Johnny Cueto and the Royals for an 11-8 victory that cut Kansas City’s series lead to 2-1.

“That’s really what we’re all about,” manager John Gibbons said. “We desperately needed that breakout.”

Veteran knuckleballer R.A. Dickey will try to get the Blue Jays even in the best-of-seven series Tuesday afternoon.

He faces Kansas City’s

Ryan Goins also homered and had a two-run single a game after his misplayed pop fly set off Kansas City’s winning rally Sunday.

The resilient Royals tried to come back this time, too, scoring four runs in the ninth before Roberto Osuna closed it out.

This & That

There will be injuries in football. At every level, adversity from an injury standpoint always seem to creep up at some point in this season.

The Iowa Hawkeyes are no different.

In a year where the injury bug could ultimately derail the program’s chances at a positive season, the Hawkeyes refuse to let adversity bring them down. It By Troy Hyde doesn’t define Newton Daily them.

News Senior Drew Sports Writer Ott went down with an elbow injury against Iowa State and then later was lost for the season when he tore his ACL against Illinois.

No big deal. Redshirt freshman Parker Hesse is ready to make a name for himself and has.

Both starting offensive tackles have been sidelined with injuries. Boone Myers has been out for an extended period of time and Ike Boettger has also missed multiple games.

It was already thought to be an inexperienced unit that had a lot to prove. But true freshman James Daniels is a star in the making, and Jordan Walsh is having an all-Big Ten season at guard.

Daniels started the year as a rotation player at guard but has now been moved to tackle to fill for Boettger. When he’s been the right tackle, Iowa running backs have rushed for more than 200 yards in backto-back games.

Speaking of running backs, the two names that started the season atop the depth chart — LeShun Daniels and Jordan Canzeri — are both now part of the Hawkeyes’ walking wounded club.

Daniels has been sidelined for most of the year, while Canzeri went down this past weekend with a severe ankle sprain. Canzeri rushed for more than 250 yards in the win over Illinois but he got help Saturday from sophomores Akrum Wadley and Derrick Mitchell. Wadley gained 204 rushing yards and scored four times in the road win over previously-ranked Northwestern.

It doesn’t seem to matter who is on the field this season.

The Hawkeyes are living behind the “Next Man In” mantra.

I thought when starting wideout Tevaun Smith went down, the Iowa offense was going to struggle. He’s the most proven guy and the only known deep threat the team has.

Insert true freshman Jerminic Smith. He had more than 100 yards receiving against Illinois and appears to be ready to move into a significant role if another receiver goes down.

I don’t know how good this team is. I still believe Kirk Ferentz’s 2002 and 2009 Orange Bowl teams were more talented and better overall. But right now, the 2015 Hawkeyes are 7-0 and have passed every test put in front of them despite a plethora of injuries.

Resiliency may be the word that defines this group when this season ends. Others will look at the schedule as a way to deflate the accomplishments.

BlueJays outlast Cardinals in wild JV game Scoring 55 points should win a football game for a team. Newton High’s junior varsity scored 55 points Monday in its season finale at home against Bondurant-Farrar.

Unfortunately, the visiting BlueJays piled up Miravalles 64 points to win a wild offensive contest, 64-55.

Bondurant-Farrar had more than 500 yards of total offense while Newton had 463 yards.

Newton trailed 22-8 after one quarter and down 38-36 at halftime.

Going into the fourth quarter, the Cardinals trailed the BlueJays, 58-43.

Jaron Roush scored five rushing touchdowns on runs of 4, 3, 40, 4 and 25 yards.

He caught a 16-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Reagan Maple. Roush scored two two-point conversions.

Roush had two kickoff returns of 76 and 70 yards to set up the Cardinals in great field position.

Roush finished with 185 yards on 24 carries, but was not Newton’s leading rusher.

Josh Miravalles rolled up 253 yards on 19 carries for the Cardinals. Miravalles

Unbeaten Continued from Page 1B Iowa doesn’t control who it plays in Big Ten games.

It’s not Iowa’s fault that Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State don’t appear on the slate this year.

Iowa is one of two teams who have defeated two ranked teams on the road.

Perennial powerhouse Alabama is the other one.

Illinois State has not lost since losing to Iowa in the opener.

Pittsburgh is now a ranked team and Iowa gave the Panthers their only defeat.

Winning at Wisconsin, the Big Ten West Division favorite coming into the season, is never easy although Iowa has done so three times in the last decade or so.

The dominant victory over Northwestern was important. The Wildcats started 5-0 and had a ton of momentum before Michigan pasted them the week before Iowa did.

Now, the same experts who said Northwestern was great before are saying it is isn’t any good now.

No matter what Iowa does, it may not get the respect it deserves. If the Hawkeyes somehow complete the regular season without a loss, not even 12-0 will get the Hawkeyes love nationally.

They’ll have to win the Big Ten championship game over a team the rest of the country deems worthy — Michigan, Michigan State or Ohio State.

In years when the Ferentz appears to be losing the fan base, he always seems to roll off a year like this.

It doesn’t really matter what the nation thinks though.

Iowa is undefeated through seven games and the clear front runner to win the Big Ten West Division.

There is no doubt if that scenario was presented to fans before the season started, everyone would have signed on the dotted line So don’t worry about who’s not talking about the Hawkeyes. Just enjoy the ride.

Iowa State to stick with Richardson at QB AMES (AP) — Iowa State is keeping Sam Richardson at quarterback — and the Cyclones plan to give backup Joel Lanning more snaps moving forward, too.

Coach Paul Rhoads said Monday that Lanning, a redshirt sophomore, will play a bigger role starting with Saturday’s game at No. 2 Baylor (6-0, 3-0 Big 12).

Lanning threw just one pass in last week’s loss against No. 4 TCU and it went for a 74-yard touchdown. But Richardson’s experience is a big reason why Rhoads and offensive coordinator Mark Mangino are sticking with the senior.

Richardson has thrown just one touchdown pass over the past two games, which Iowa State (2-4, 1-2) lost by an average of nearly 30 points.

“He’s a fifth-year player that thoroughly understands our offense, and that thorough understanding is a big part of it,” Rhoads said. “If you don’t have that mental piece in place as strong as it needs to be, it can be catastrophic.”

Richardson’s overall numbers — more than 1,400 yards on 62.3 percent passing through six games — look decent on paper. But the Cyclones are not winning many games.

With Richardson behind center against No. 12 Iowa last month, the Cyclones failed to score in the second half and

ALCS Continued from Page 1B Despite being outhit 15-11 by the pesky Royals, Toronto pounced on Kansas City’s pitching in the first ALCS game in Toronto since 1993 for their most runs ever at home in the postseason — after scoring just three in two games in Kansas City.

Kansas City scored four times off starter Marcus Stroman and then added four in the ninth, capped by Kendrys Morales’ two-run homer off Osuna.

Seemingly not distracted by the contentious federal elections that were being held in Canada on Monday, 49,751 fans serenaded Cueto with a sing-song “Cueto-Cueto!” chant from the game’s first pitch and never quieted down.

The Royals took a quick lead when Alcides Escobar led off the game with a sinking lin-

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa State senior quarterback Sam Richardson (12) will remain the starter despite the Cyclones losing the last two games by an average of nearly 30 points. Sophomore backup quarterback Joel Lanning threw one pass Saturday against TCU and it went for a 74-yard touchdown to Allen Lazard.

Richardson’s late interception closed the door on a comeback. Richardson’s best game came against winless Kansas, and his eight touchdown pass-

es are the fewest among Big 12 quarterbacks with at least 150 attempts.

Rhoads defended Richardson again Monday, stat-

er that went under right fielder Jose Bautista’s glove for a triple off Stroman. Ben Zobrist drove in Escobar with a grounder, but that was the only advantage Kansas City would hold in having its nine-game ALCS winning streak snapped. The string dated to the 1985 series against Toronto.

Blue Jays center fielder Kevin Pillar quashed that rally with a fantastic, over-the-shoulder catch that sent him crashing into the wall.

After an easy first, Cueto appeared flustered by the crowd.

Eleven of his remaining 13 batters reached.

Stroman gave up two runs in the fifth on a wild pitch and an RBI single in an uncharacteristic performance for the 24-year-old who returned from a torn knee ligament in March to go 4-0 down the stretch and get the win in Game 5 of the ALDS. Stroman allowed four runs and 11 hits.

ing Iowa State’s tough schedule as part of the reason Richardson’s numbers have been lagging.

“Three teams (we’ve played) are undefeated. The other team’s only losses are to the No. 2- and No. 3-ranked teams in the country. You have a different schedule, and we’re 4-2 or 5-1, and Sam is playing at the same level, people aren’t asking that question,” Rhoads said.

Lanning’s big arm, quick feet and flashes of brilliance in limited duty have made him a popular figure among Cyclones fans. Lanning grew up in nearby Ankeny, just 20 minutes from Jack Trice Stadium. He turned down an offer from Nebraska — a school that has historically snatched up just about every recruit Iowa State also wanted — after being named the Class 4A Player of the Year as a senior.

Lanning never threw a pass during his first two years on campus. But the coaching staff raved about Lanning’s improvement during the offseason, even devising a package for Lanning simply so they could get him on the field.

Rhoads is a big supporter of Lanning, too. But he’s not ready to make Lanning the starter just yet.

“Joel is as competitive as heck. There are some things he does really well. There are some things that he’s still learning,” Rhoads said.

Murray, Carroll lead Eagles to 27-7 victory over rival Giants PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A tenacious defense bailed out Sam Bradford and made Eli Manning miserable.

DeMarco Murray ran for 109 yards and a touchdown, Nolan Carroll returned one of Manning’s two interceptions for a score and the Philadelphia Eagles beat the New York Giants 27-7 Monday night.

The Eagles had three takeaways, sacked Manning three times and forced two intentional grounding penalties.

“All the credit goes to them,” Bradford said of Philadelphia’s defense.

“It seemed like every time we needed a stop or a big play, they created a lot of turnovers tonight. That always gives us a lot of momentum and always gives us

juice.”

Bradford threw for 280 yards with a 32-yard touchdown pass to Riley Cooper, but had three interceptions to keep New York in the game. The Giants got zero points off the turnovers.

“We were stagnant,” Giants coach Tom Coughlin said. “They did more with their opportunities than we did.”

The Eagles (3-3) have won two straight to move from last place in the NFC East into a tie for first with the Giants (3-3).

The teams meet again in Week 17.

Neither team looked sharp in front of a primetime audience. They combined for seven turnovers and 21 penalties.

“That’s bad football,” Coughlin said.

Astrograph

For the first part of the day, the Capricorn moon inspires ambition, productivity and the discipline that comes from respecting the leader inside you.

It still takes effort. The struggle to command oneself is among the most difficult for most humans, but the result -- control over one’s destiny to the extent that this is ever possible -- is well worthwhile.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 20). Your amazing power to overcome adversity has gotten you where you are, and this year you’ll use those skills to build a life very different from the one you knew. Wealth, status, advantage -- you’re not

driven to possess them, and yet they’ll freely be given because of the value you are able to offer others. Virgo and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 22, 38, 1 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Sometimes you’re the star; sometimes you’re the extra.

Today will bring another scene that requires respectful normalcy and blending in. After the director yells “Cut!” you can go back to being yourself.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

There’s nothing shocking about today’s events except that you know how most of them will

turn up and turn out before they happen. Are you getting more psychic, or is your life getting too predictably routine?

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Many Gemini people are after success in business today. It’s a matter of finding out where your customers are and going after them there. It’s not so hard. In fact, it’s a lot easier than trying to make them come to you!

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The best action is the one that has you feeling so powerful, engaged and interested along the way that it doesn’t matter to you what the result of all this effort will be.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Truth:

This endeavor you’ve taken on is not for the faint of heart.

False starts, mistakes, long periods of recovery, more mistakes -- so what? The only way to truly fail at this is not to try at all.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

It’s becoming evident that you don’t have an excellent plan. It seemed like a good idea, but if the efforts aren’t paying off as expected, it’s time to change your tactics.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Everyone has to start somewhere.

Remind yourself of this as you look at those who have what you’d like to have. It may seem very far away at this point, but if you keep going, your day will come.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The best idea isn’t always the one that gets implicated. Who has authority? Who’s popular?

It’s that person’s idea that is more likely to get traction.

Think about this before you propose your idea.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The passersby appreciate what you add to the ambiance of a place, though most won’t say it. So it’s nice when a certain someone likes the song of your gypsy spirit and puts spare change in your tambourine.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some talk in words strung together. You’ve heard enough of that. Today someone talks to you in meanings and feelings that move you to do something

different from what you would have before the conversation.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Just because another person has cast you in a certain role in his or her life doesn’t mean you have to take that appointment.

You’re A-list. You can pick and choose your projects.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’ll save yourself money and trouble by thinking forward as to what’s coming up between now and the end of the year.

There are certain events coming up that you will not be able to attend unless you make plans now-ish.
