Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Gov. Terry Branstad speaks Monday during the news conference to announce a donation of seven former Maytag Corporation buildings to DMACC by businessman Reza Kargarzadeh, left. The $9 million donation of about 472,000 feet of office, industrial and residential space will allow DMACC to expand in terms of space tied to its programs.

Grinnell businessman gives $9 million in buildings for educational partnerships

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When Reza Kargarzadeh started plastic a molding business in 1994 with three presses, he didn’t know he’d one day own a company with about 2,000 employees, a facility in Mexico and 15 total locations.

He also didn’t know he’d not only end up obtaining, in 2012, and one day donating the corporate campus of one of Iowa’s most storied companies to a community college to help forge business-education partnerships.

Kargarzadeh, founder of Engineered Plastic Components,

was joined by Gov. Terry Branstad, DMACC officials and state and local leaders for a news conference held Monday in the Maytag Innovation Center. He announced he’s donating seven former Maytag corporate campus buildings to DMACC, valued at about $9 million and encompassing about 472,000 feet of office, industrial and residential space, to be used for expansion of DMACC programs and to help strengthen the college’s partnerships with industries.

“In the past six years, my company has gone through tremendous growth,” Kargarzadeh said. “When I looked around and what we wanted to

Joanne Thomason is an artist who has an eye for style, color and detail. She’s been applying those strengths to her work since she began traditional rug hooking 25 years ago and has since turned a new hobby into an esteemed fine art.

Thomason began rug hooking in the 1990s when she and her sisterin-law decided to give it a try. They went to a workshop at the Decorah Rug School where they learned the proper way to hook and the tools needed, she said, and they began with primitive, basic rugs.

After a few years in the art and a three-year

educational program, she received her McGowen teaching certificate and enjoyed teaching the technique at the McGowen Teachers Workshop.

“It’s mostly hooking so there’s no sewing.

You pull the first piece up, and then you hook it into little loops, and just keep hooking it into little loops until you get to the end of the strip and you start over again,” Thomason said. “It all comes together, and when you get to the end it’s tight enough that it doesn’t come apart.”

As time passed, Thomason began creating more elaborate rugs and patterns.

Much of her art is

do with this facility, I started talking with DMACC President Rob Denson. I found his ideas very dynamic, very creative. We have a great education system in the state of Iowa and we want to help grow that. We have decided to donate this beautiful facility to DMACC.” Denson, who also spoke at the news conference, said the donation is the largest in the 50-year history of the college.

Buildings 1, 2, 16, 17, 18, 20 and 50 will join the main DMACC building and the Career Academy as part of the college’s Newton presence.

Submitted Photo The recently declaration by China that it will begin to sell its own corn stockpile is one of two major agricultural changes announced by Chinese officials. The other is the end of a 13-year ban on imports of U.S. beef.

China intends to export corn, import beef Changes could affect U.S. selling prices

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News While it might be tough to predict what will happen with China in terms of global security, censorship and air and environmental issues, two recent moves by the Chinese government show at least an inclination to discuss changes that could affect farmers in Jasper County and across Iowa.

The September announcement China will partly lift its 13-year ban on importing American beef and the Sept. 30 announcement about exporting its huge stockpile of corn are major departures from longstanding policy.

There are many aspects of the Chinese relationships with the U.S. and the rest of the world. But as agricultural developments unravel, it’s at least clear the Chinese know they can’t feed their people — or remain a major part of the world economy — in a vaccuum without some regular trade.

According to the U.S. Meat Export Federation, China imported $2.3 billion worth of beef last year with projections for $3 billion this year.

Chris Freland, of Prairie City, is the executive director of the Iowa Beef Industry Council in Ames.

She said the announcement is announcement about lifting the ban is good news for our farmers and the economy.

“We are optimistic about the opportunities we may have to be part of that equation,” Freland said. “Iowa ranks fourth nationally for cattle on feed and home to nearly 3,900,000 head of cattle.

Iowa is well-equipped to supply markets with safe, wholesome, quality beef both domestically

and internationally. We are committed to building long-term demand for beef and beef products.”

According to the USDA, China has been a significant source of uncertainty in world corn trade, swinging from the second-largest exporter in some years, such as 2006 and 2007, to an importer of large quantities in other years, such as 2016.

China’s corn exports are largely a function of government export subsidies and tax rebates because corn prices in China are mostly higher than those in the world market. Large corn stocks are expensive for the government to maintain, and Chinese corn trade policy fluctuates with little relationship to the country’s production, making China’s corn trade difficult to predict.

On Sept. 13, the U.S. filed a grievance with the World Trade Organization about the recent corn export behavior by China, saying it will hurt the market.

According to Dow Jones Business News, China’s effort to overhaul its bloated corn sector has sent local prices to their lowest levels in 10 years — and left animal-feed imports from the U.S. more expensive for Chinese livestock farmers.

China has been trying to auction down its stockpile, which is the largest in the world, amid the latest step in reforming its agricultural sector. The government this spring scrapped a minimum-price support program for corn that it started in 2007. That program, in which the government bought corn to keep prices above a certain level, had proved so popular that farmers grew more. The stockpile is now huge,

doubling in size between 2009 and now.

The size of the stockpile, conservatively estimated to be 110.7 million metric tons by the USDA, is a headache for Beijing. Weekly government auctions are finding less and less demand. Only 1.8 percent of the 12.5 million tons of corn offered at recent weekly auctions sold.

Beyond China, the changes are pressuring what last year was a more-than $10 billion imported animal-feed market, much of which originates from the U.S. and has been popular with Chinese livestock farmers because it was cheaper than local corn.

One such U.S. product in particular could suffer: a byproduct from the making of ethanol known as distiller’s dried grains with solubles or DDGS — more than half of whose sales last year were in China. Now U.S.-produced DDGS must compete with the cheaper Chinese corn.

Adding to the pressure, DDGS on Sep. 26 was hit by a 33.8 percent duty by the Chinese government after the U.S. was cited for dumping the product. The U.S. was then slapped with a second tax of between 10 and 10.7 percent one week later.

Between lower local corn prices and new DDGS duties, the price gap between Chinese corn suitable for animal feed versus U.S. DDGS has essentially evaporated, some analysts said.

Adding to pressure on the Chinese government, new corn from the 2016 harvest is now entering the market.

Renowned animal behaviorist to lead three-day workshop WINTERSET — Renowned rangeland scientist and animal behaviorist Fred Provenza will teach a three-day Practical Farmers of Iowa workshop exploring how behavioral processes link the health of soil, plants, herbivores and humans. The workshop, “The Web of Life: Three Days with Fred Provenza,” runs from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 15-17 in Winterset and will include classroom and field segments.

Classroom portions will take place in the Jackson Building on the Madison County Fairgrounds.

The workshop is free, but registration is required.

Contact Lauran Zastrow at 515-232-5661 or lauren@ practicalfarmers.org by Nov. 9 to register. Breakfast and lunch will be provided each day.

Workshop attendees will explore the interrelationships between plant, animal and human behavior and what those links mean for how people and the animals in their care can transform — ecologically, economically and culturally — with the landscapes they inhabit.

Marketing clubs to host merchandising meeting Nov. 15 Despite record Iowa and U.S corn and soybean production and yield forecasts for 2016, cash flow will likely prove challenging for many farms. Extra bushels should benefit a farm’s total crop revenue, but most of these bushels are unpriced and will have higher fixed costs associated with storage and interest charges. This is especially true if you are storing commercially with limited opportunities to capture improved basis.

Marketing tools such as a storage hedge, a basis contract or a minimum price contract are readily available to Iowa farmers. The key is knowing your own cost of grain ownership and learning how to separate the futures price from your local basis offered.

The Central Iowa Ag Marketing Clubs will host a “Merchandising Your 2016 Grain” meeting at 6:30 p.m. Nov. 15 at the First State Bank, 413 East St. in Lynnville. The featured speakers will be Steve Johnson and Ray Jenkins, both with ISU Extension and Outreach. Participants will move beyond just spot cash, store and wait and forward contract cash sales used to merchandise most unpriced bushels being stored this fall and winter.

There may be a small fee for meeting that can be paid at the door which open at 6 p.m.

THE STORY BEHIND

THE INDUSTRY’S BEST

FARMER-FOCUSED RESEARCH

At Beck’s, being a seed supplier means more than delivering a high-yielding product. That’s why Beck’s invests heavily into our Practical Farm Research (PFR)® program. A program that goes beyond the seed and focuses on the industry’s latest farming technologies and management practices. Because it’s difficult for farmers to evaluate all the options, PFR delivers replicated data from over 100 studies at six research locations on nearly 800 acres across the Midwest. If a product performs well, we publish it. If it doesn’t perform well, then we still publish it. The results speak for themselves and the goal remains the same — to help farmers succeed.

Local & State News D&D Continued from Page 1A permits and application fees capped at $750 per home. Chambers said it is anticipated those fees would be slightly more than the agreed upon price.

“The building permit fee based on our adopted schedule would be about $824,” Chambers said.

“Trade permits would be on top of that and the average for a new home is about $100 apiece and include mechanical, electrical, plumbing and others.”

Woodland is also hoping to partner with the Newton Housing Development Corporation with marketing efforts and USDA Rural Development on rural housing programs. According to Bruce Showal-

ter, NHDC director, about half of the property sales in the community are in the $75,000 to $120,000 price range so this fits squarely in that large chunk of the market.

The company is already in the Newton housing marketing with two homes under construction, one on South 12th Avenue West and the other in Eastgate Meadows.

“I think it is exciting that we have somebody committed to building seven new homes who is already building homes in our community and seize that excitement,” councilwoman Miranda Kulis said.

Two additional offers went before council on two of the properties in the sale.

The lot at 1022 S. Fifth Ave. E. had an offer for $1,500

and was going to be used as yard space or for a potential home addition and the lot at #15 E. 12th St. S. had an offer for $1,100 to be used as yard space.

“The Woodlands proposal is recommended due to the fact that the purchase price, even though slightly lower than the other two offers, contains commitments to build single family homes and as a part of the housing initiative that’s been one of our main goals,” Chambers said.

All funds received from the lot sales returns to the D&D program to replenish those funds and begin more work in the same area.

Thomason also has a good time with her rug hooking friends who meet on Thursdays at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church in Newton, she said.

“Joanne is a really creative person who draws out her own patterns and dyes all of her wool for that pattern and colorplans her rug,” fellow rug hooker Sue Bryan, of Newton, said.

Thomason will be in the Iowa Sculpture & Fine Arts Festival this weekend at the Centre for Arts and Artists in Newton. She will be demonstrating how to rug hook and explaining her processes for creating images to visitors.

“They had some fabulous covers in the 30s and 40s, and I love this era with the ‘Dream Girl.’ I love the women, something about the way they look is really neat,” she said.

Besides traditional rugs, Thomason makes other three-dimensional works such as purses and pillows. She has been asked by family members including her three children, Mark, Matt and Amanda, and her sister, to make personalized rugs.

Learning on the job A

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson

s a parent, I learn something new every day. The older the girls get, the more new territory we cover, and the more I come up with things off of the top of my head to explain questions I’m never prepared to answer.

So far, nothing too crazy has come up. Thanks to their creative thinking and what they learned from animals, the girls think babies come from eggs, and, for now, I’m cool with that. I hear the new movie “Storks” will provide a more concrete answer to the same question and tide me over for several more years.

A new topic that has come up is

boys and how the girls feel about them.

Growing up, I had my first “boyfriend” in kindergarten, so I shouldn’t have been surprised when my oldest daughter told me about a boy she liked. She told me he has a nice face and she thinks he is funny. I know it is just the beginning, but it opened up a whole new world of boys and how to deal with them that I’m not quite sure I’m ready to handle.

My youngest daughter also has her eyes set on one boy and everyone knows it. I had no idea until we were at Target over the summer and I heard a squeal of excitement when she saw him. He had the same reaction, and it has grown ever since.

She will tell me about him and what he likes, always in a voice of admiration.

It has even gone as far as her running back to blow him a kiss as she was leaving for the day.

I have to say it is completely adorable and I can’t wait to see them grow up, as best friends if nothing else.

With my oldest daughter in school full time, I am also beginning to hear stories about kids not always being nice. For the most part, it hasn’t been anything I am concerned about. There is one kid who tends to be a reoccurring character in the drama, but mostly as an overall troublemaker and not solely directed at my kid.

When I hear my kid is upset because of something another kid has done or said, I immediately want to take action to make my kiddo feel better and set the other kid straight. Thanks to life experience, I know that is not the way to

handle minor disagreements and dealing with the issue themselves will help them grow and learn to be problem solvers in life.

When an issue does make its way home, I always ask to see what my kiddo did in response. For the most part, I think she has done really well. She can recognize when it is an accident and takes the appropriate action to settle the matter, whether that be telling an adult or trying to work it out among themselves.

I know as the years go on and the issues become bigger or more life impacting, it will take a lot of restraint to let my kids learn for themselves. I hope I have the patience and the grace to watch from just far enough away for my kids to grow up and learn lessons to help them become well-rounded adults.

Living and Dion Marc Dion

Boo! I’m going to a Halloween party tomorrow night.

My wife, Deborah, says we will dress as silent movie stars. I am supposed to shave my beard and wax my mustache into points. She will put a thick layer of white makeup on my face, like the old movie stars used to do. I will wear a black suit.

The hope is that I will look like the kind of silent movie villain who enjoyed foreclosing on family farms and orphanages. In reality, I will look like an aging newspaperman who is being booted into having fun.

Deborah will dress more as the flapper/vamp kind of silent movie star. That is exactly what she’ll look like, too. If you dress her in cowboy clothes, she looks like a pretty cowgirl. If you dress her up like a vampire, she looks like a pretty vampire. If you put her in a dinosaur suit, she looks like a pretty dinosaur.

I’m not pretty, and the “me” shines through every kind of costume I wear. If you get me sufficiently dirty, I can pass for homeless, but that’s about my best shot at assuming a different look.

I’m not yet happy to go to the party, but I am getting through it by focusing on the fact that I’ll be drinking someone else’s beer. The people throwing the party are friends of ours, and I intend to ask about the food situation today. I don’t mind it if there’s nothing available except for a bowl of nuts, but I’ll be happier if I think there’s going to be chili or a plate of meat and cheese. Also, if I know there won’t be much food, I’ll eat a ham sandwich before I go. Nothing is worse than trying to soak up free beer on an empty stomach. It gives me heartburn.

I considered going as Donald Trump, but there are things I won’t do for free beer. In this freewheeling year, I could have gone as Hillary Clinton, but my hips are too big for a pantsuit. And, if I went as Clinton, I’d know that people were only talking to me to avoid talking to the guy dressed as Trump.

I decided to avoid the political costumes for the same reason I’m avoiding the “creepy clown” costume. You have an obligation not to cut too close to the bone at a Halloween party.

Oh, sure, if I dressed as Trump, people would come up to me and make jokes, and the young girl dressed as a cat would say, “Oooh, Mr. Trump, don’t grab ME.” But the jokes wouldn’t be very funny, and the girl would be too young, and I’m married, and I’d have brought into the house something I should have left in the street.

We should have left Trump in the street. A thing like that doesn’t belong in any good man’s or woman’s house.

But we have lost any idea of the fitness of things in this century, at least in America. We cover the sin of intolerance with the mask of Jesus. We dress racism up like a cop. We dress fear up as a soldier with a gun.

We are shrill and wild and hateful. We’re strung out on every damn thing from talk radio to Oxycontin. We babble and froth and bite about “wanting our country back” without realizing that we ARE America. We can’t stay married, and we think sending a check every month makes us a good parent, and we think buying a gun is the same thing as being tough.

It’s a good year for a Halloween party, and it’s good to go as something goofy and harmless, like a silent movie star or a burrito or Dora the Explorer.

There is no need for artificial fear this year. We have the real thing.

The best and worst presidents on taxes With all the debate over Donald Trump’s tax-dodging, I’ve been wondering how taxes have played into presidential politics in the past.

For some answers, I turned to Bob McIntyre, head of the nonpartisan research and advocacy group Citizens for Tax Justice. For 40 years, McIntyre has been on the frontlines of efforts to make our tax code fairer.

When asked what American president he considers the worst on tax fairness, his initial response was “Yipes, there are so many.”

After some consideration, he bestowed that honor on Ronald Reagan, whose 1981 tax act slashed taxes on the rich.

The top marginal tax rate dropped from 70 percent to 50 percent (before being cut even further to 28 percent in 1986).

And, even more harmful, according to McIntyre, was the bill’s vast expansion of corporate tax loopholes.

Ironically, though, when I asked what president has done the most to advance tax fairness, Reagan’s name came up again — not as number 1, but as the runner-up.

While Reagan is a big hero of anti-tax Tea Partiers, later in his presidency, he agreed to raise taxes several times to address mounting budget deficits.

McIntyre was particularly involved in the fight over Reagan’s 1986 reform, after cranking out reports for a decade that docu-

Another View Sarah Anderson mented rampant tax-dodging among America’s largest corporations and wealthiest individuals.

The loophole-closing 1986 reform was still not enough to solve the problem of insufficient revenue to pay for federal spending.

But by creating a broader tax base, Reagan set the stage for President Bill Clinton’s increases in the tax rates on the highest earners.

The top marginal rate rose to 39.6 percent in 1993, where it stands today.

The combination of the 1986 and 1993 reforms was essential to the balanced federal budgets that occurred in the late 1990s, according to McIntyre.

But of course, then President George W. Bush blasted a cruise missile-sized hole through all that fiscal responsibility with a new round of tax cuts and a spike in war spending.

So who was the best president for the cause of tax fairness?

Again, the answer was surprising: Teddy Roosevelt, but not because he was a strong advocate of progressive taxes (which indeed he was). Instead, McIntyre says TR deserves the honor because of the unintended consequences of his pettiness.

To understand his argument requires a bit of a history refresher.

In 1912, Roosevelt, who’d held the nation’s highest office from 1901 to 1909, decided to throw his hat back in the ring because he was dissatisfied with the presidential performance of his former protégé, William Taft.

When TR failed to beat Taft for the nomination, he founded his own party — the progressive, so-called “Bull Moose” Party — and while he didn’t win the election, he succeeded in splitting up the Republican Party.

This, McIntyre points out, led to Democratic takeovers of previously Republican state legislatures, which was critical to delivering the three-quarters of states necessary to ratify the 16th Amendment.

“Without Teddy’s petulance,” McIntyre told me, “the amendment authorizing a federal income tax would almost certainly have failed to be adopted.”

So how does one stay motivated to keep fighting for fair taxation for 40 years? “Perhaps I have Sisyphus as my hero,” McIntyre said.

Trying to stop big corporations and billionaires from rigging the system does indeed seem like pushing a rock up a hill over and over. But until we elect public servants willing to stand up to these powerful forces, we have no choice but to keep pushing.

Unseasonably warm weather helps farmers advance harvest DES MOINES (AP) — An unseasonably warm week has aided farmers in getting crops out of fields in Iowa and Nebraska although both states remain slightly behind the five-year average.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture said Monday in its weekly crop update that in Iowa 71 percent of corn is harvested, about two days behind the average. The soybean crop is 89 percent harvested, about five days behind average.

Farmers in southwest and south central Iowa still have a third or more of their soybeans to harvest.

Nebraska experienced a week with temperatures averaging nine degrees above normal helping to get 91 percent of the soybean crop in, near the 96 percent five-year average.

Corn farmers in Nebraska are 69 percent harvested which is near the 70 percent five-year average.

Rude sister-in-law’s demands put damper on holiday giving DEAR ABBY: My brother and his wife have been married 3 1/2 years and have an 18-month-old daughter. My sister-in-law, “Barb,” is either very rude or passive-aggressive to our mother in emails and when she thinks no one is around.

At Christmas, Barb sends out an email detailing what we are and are not allowed to buy for their daughter.

If we can’t do exactly what she wants, she threatens to cancel Christmas.

This includes asking her permission before we buy any toys. Barb tells my mom that because her mother doesn’t have much money, Mom can’t spend more than her mother does. So, because my family has a little more money, we are being punished.

Barb is extremely demeaning and hurtful to us. I can’t understand why my brother allows it. My husband and I are sick and tired of her acting this way, and the way she treats my mother is cruel. I’m tempted to confront her about how she has ruined Christmas for my parents. She basically doesn’t allow us to have feelings, and I can’t believe we are standing for it. Help! — HOLIDAY HOSTAGE DEAR HOSTAGE: Your sisterin-law may be telling your parents not to spend more money on gifts for the grandchild because she doesn’t want her mother to be embarrassed.

However, if her rude behavior extends beyond that, rather than take her on, the person you should “confront” about it is your brother.

DEAR ABBY: My fiance and I are in the process of ordering our wedding invitations, and the phrase “the honor of your presence is requested” versus “the pleasure of your company is requested” is causing a problem.

The woman at the store insists we use the latter because the ceremony won’t be in a church. My research on

the internet says if the ceremony is a religious one, the phrase “the honor of your presence” is appropriate, and it is also our preference. However, if the ceremony is a civil one, the “pleasure of your company is requested” is the preferred one.

Our minister will be performing the ceremony in the gazebo at the country club. Although it’s not a church, the ceremony will certainly be religious. What’s the proper etiquette on this issue? Invitations are on hold until I hear from you. — DONNA IN FLORIDA DEAR DONNA: The salesperson at the store is mistaken. The wording on your wedding invitation is not determined by whether you are being married in a church.

I ran your letter by Lisa Grotts, a San Francisco Bay-area certified etiquette expert, who had this to say: “The wording of wedding invitations varies, depending upon who is hosting the wedding, i.e., the parents of the bride or groom. If the bride’s parents are hosting, then the phrase ‘the honor of your presence’ is correct.

However, if you and your fiance (or other family members) are hosting the wedding, then the more modern terminology ‘the pleasure of your company’ is preferable.”

Two shot while driving on Des Moines street DES MOINES — Police say two people were shot while driving on a busy Des Moines street.

Police spokesman Sgt. Paul Parizek said the shooting happened just after 1 a.m.

Tuesday on Merle Hay Road.

A passenger in a vehicle fired at another vehicle, striking one person in the foot and another in the buttocks. Both were treated at a hospital. Parizek says the shooting apparently stemmed from a dispute at a party.

body camera policy not public

2

AMES — Iowa State University campus police are using body cameras but because no formal policy for the technology has been adopted, it is unclear when the public has the right to see the videos. Campus police began using cameras this summer under a draft policy that the department has refused to release. There is no timeline for when a formal policy may be finalized. Police say the public safety department wants to make sure privacy rights are looked at before making a policy public.

3 Police arrest man in Illinois on Iowa murder charges

Developer defaults on planned Mason City hotel

PERRY — Police have arrested a man in Illinois on murder charges from Iowa. Police in Perry announced Monday that officers in Morrison, Ill., charged 24-year-old Carlos Marlo Hernandez-Ventura on Sunday with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder. He was held in the Whiteside County Jail in Morrison.

Authorities will seek to return him to Dallas County to face charges in the deaths of 34-year-old Lourdes Flor De Leak and her daughter, 14-year-old Melany E. Barraz.

MASON CITY — Officials say a California developer has defaulted on his agreement to begin construction of a hotel in downtown Mason City because he doesn’t have his financing in place.

San Diego developer Phillip Chodur defaulted Monday on his agreement to break ground for a Courtyard by Marriott hotel at what now is a parking lot west of city hall.

Hotel worker helped guest escape blaze, fire chief says OTTUMWA — Ottumwa authorities are crediting a hotel worker with saving a guest from flames inside the woman’s room. The blaze began early Sunday morning in a room on the fourth floor of the Hotel Ottumwa, but fire sprinklers kept the flames from spreading. Fire Chief Tony Miller says hotel employee Trevor Medina kicked in the room’s door and pulled out the hotel guest.

Iowa will pay more for state’s privatized Medicaid program DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Iowa is increasing the amount of money it pays three private insurance companies to administer the state’s Medicaid program, a development that could affect the state’s current cost projections for the newly privatized system.

State health officials said Monday they don’t expect that to happen, and Gov. Terry Branstad reiterated the point in a press conference.

“This is something that’s ... done in normal course of business and it does not affect the savings that we anticipate,” he said.

The non-partisan Legislative Services Agency said in a memo Friday that the Iowa Department of Human Services decided recently to pay

Branstad

Bolkcom

an extra $33.2 million to the companies in rates that are distributed for each Medicaid patient. The federal government, which shares the cost of Iowa’s Medicaid program, will also pay an additional $94.5 million for the jump in socalled capitation rates.

LSA analyst Jess Benson said the increase, for a period that spans parts of 2016 and

2017, could be attributed in part to outdated data used to initially determine the rates and an increase in prescription drug costs.

Benson added LSA will predict, based on the increase, a $20 million to $30 million shortfall in the program for the current budget year when it meets next month with state officials to update the state’s forecast on Medicaid expenses.

That figure is preliminary, and it’s unclear if DHS would absorb such possible costs or if Branstad would request extra state funding in his next budget recommendation in January.

Branstad has predicted the state will save roughly $110 million this current budget

year by switching Medicaid to a privately-run system. In a letter to Branstad dated Monday, DHS Director Chuck Palmer said he expected to maintain those savings despite the extra costs. Palmer said Medicaid patients are becoming healthier under privatization and there’s more efficiency in care.

“The savings are based on improved management of the health care needs of Medicaid members,” Palmer wrote in the letter. “This is why we will still be able to attain our $110 million in savings ... while updating the capitation rates.”

Senate Democrats have been critical of Branstad’s decision to privatize Iowa’s health care program for more than 500,000 poor and

Harvest time

disabled residents. Democrats have held multiple legislative meetings to highlight reports of delayed care and payments. DHS has repeatedly said such issues are not indicative of systemic problems.

Democrats on Monday criticized the increase in rates and Branstad said he wasn’t surprised given previous public statements.

One Senate leader, Sen. Joe Bolkcom, D-Iowa City, challenged the continued savings projection. He pointed to data released in August that showed all three insurance companies lost money in the initial months of privatization.

“How can both be right?”

Bolkcom said.

Presidential disaster approved for 19 counties DES MOINES (AP) — President Barack Obama has approved a major disaster declaration for 19 Iowa counties because of storms and flooding in September and October.

That makes federal funding available to state and local government agencies and some nonprofit organizations.

The money will help perform emergency work and the repair or replacement of facilities damaged by the severe storms and flooding that occurred between Sept. 21 and Oct. 3.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency says additional designations may be made at a later date if requested by the state and warranted by the results of further damage assessments.

Most of the counties are in northeast and north-central Iowa but Des Moines County is southeast Iowa also is included.

DUBUQUE (AP) — The Dubuque Police Department says a gunshot fired downtown just missed three officers. The shooting occurred around 4 a.m.

DMACC Continued from Page 1A Preliminary plans call for DMACC to utilize the buildings as traditional office and industrial park space for businesses and other educational partners, student housing, space for new DMACC programs and a business incubator for startup companies offering move-in ready space.

“Thank you for this wonderful and generous gift to DMACC and the community of Newton,” Branstad said to Kargarzadeh. “Not only am I happy to hear about the growth of your company, but I’m happy Newton and DMACC can continue to grow as well. These benefit the entire state of Iowa.”

Frank Liebl, executive director of the Newton Development Corporation, and City of Newton Director of Finance and Development Bryan Friedman were both at Monday’s event.

Kargarzadeh thanked both of them and others for their help throughout his company’s involvement with the property.

Kargarzadeh bought the property in 2012 for only $1, but absorbed about $2 million each year in “carrying costs,”

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Businessman Reza Kargarzadeh speaks Monday during the news conference to announce a donation of seven former Maytag Corporation buildings to DMACC. The $9 million donation of about 472,000 feet of office, industrial and residential space will allow DMACC to expand in terms of space tied to its programs.

in addition to paying about 50 percent of annual taxes on the property, due to a rebate agreement with the city.

The campus has had few tenants since the Whirlpool corporation left Newton about nine years ago. While the city won’t have that direct tax revenue in the years ahead, the two businesses that are currently in campus buildings — Aureon and Health En-

terprises — will remain and will be assessed and taxed, as will all businesses that move into the campus later.

Kargarzadeh paid about $78,000 in property taxes this year.

The seven buildings include the former Maytag Building 18 — the tallest, most visible office building in the campus, located directly against West Fourth Street North. It

The donation is worth about $9 million and includes about 472,000 feet of office, industrial and residential space. The buildings 1, 2, 16, 17, 18, 20 and 50 will join the main DMACC building and the Career Academy as part of the college’s Newton presence.

also includes Building 20, which has the circle drive off of West Fourth Street North, Buildings 16 and 17, office buildings that are behind Building 18; Buildings 1 and 2, where the Innovation Center and other first-floor facilities are located, and Building 50, which is strictly for mechanical equipment.

While the donation solves the issue of having an iconic, prominent structure in central Newton no longer as simply a reminder of what Maytag was and how things ended, it Proud to Offer

will also fit well into the nine principles of the city’s comprehensive plan that involve higher education.

DMACC board chair and Newton resident Joe Pugel said Maytag was instrumental in helping create the Newton DMACC campus almost 25 years ago.

“Our understanding is that even though only about 25 percent of the space is being utilized, the tenants are covering all the fixed costs,” Pugel said. “We’re excited about moving forward with this. This all mate-

rialized in the past two months.”

Newton Mayor Mike Hansen was among the many local leaders in attendance.

“To donate a Fortune 500 company’s facilities — what a fantastic gift,” Hansen said. “DMACC has so many great programs, such as nursing, here already, and this will really give them ownership of a large campus. The possibilities are endless.”

Cubs, Indians hope to celebrate title in Cleveland CHICAGO (AP) — One way or another, there will be a championship celebration in Cleveland.

Still to be determined?

Whether the Indians or Cubs will be popping the champagne.

The Cubs won a World Series game at Wrigley Field for the first time since 1945 and at least delayed Cleveland’s big party with a 3-2 victory Sunday night.

Aroldis Chapman got the final eight outs in the longest appearance of his career, Jon Lester pitched six strong innings and Kris Bryant homered as Chicago cut the Indians’ lead to 3-2.

So a World Series between the teams with baseball’s longest title droughts goes back to Cleveland, with 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner Jake Arrieta set to start for the Cubs and Josh Tomlin going on short rest for the Indians in Game 6 on Tuesday night.

“We’re writing our own history,” Chicago shortstop Addison Russell said. “We’re making history. Why stop?”

AP Photo Cleveland Indians’ Jason Kipnis can’t handle the throw as Chicago Cubs’ Jason Heyward steals second during the eighth inning of Sunday’s Game 5 of the World Series in Chicago. The Cubs won 3-2 to send the Series back to Cleveland for Tuesday’s Game 6 with the Indians up 3-2.

His team rolled through the regular season with a major league-leading 103 wins, took out playoff-tested San Francisco in the NL Division Series and rallied to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL Championship Series. The Cubs were

so dominant at times they had their long-downtrodden fans believing that, after decades of supposed curses and sincere heartbreak, this just might be the year.

It still could be — but it would take an historic effort.

Only five teams have come

back from a 3-1 deficit to win a best-of-seven World Series, most recently Kansas City in 1985.

Standing in the Cubs’ way is a team and a city that knows a thing or two about title droughts.

Cleveland endured a 52-

year championship dry spell before LeBron James brought one home with the NBA’s Cavaliers last spring. The Indians last won it all in 1948, which pales in comparison to a Cubs wait that dates to 1908.

Johnson’s win leaves three spots up for grabs in NASCAR playoffs MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) — Jimmie Johnson is on to NASCAR’s championship race, which means Joe Gibbs Racing won’t pull off a clean sweep of the final four.

Johnson’s win Sunday at Martinsville Speedway clinched him a spot in the title-deciding Nov. 20 race at NASCAR Photo Homestead-Miami Speedway.

the championship could quickly turn cutthroat.

There’s so much on the line, and only two races remaining to set the field. That means the teamwork that has worked so well for JGR this year may quickly be abandoned as every driver races with their own agenda.

“We’re in a team business, but we’re also in a business to win for our sponsors and ourselves,” JGR driver Denny Hamlin said.

“I think at the end, you have to do what’s best for yourself.”

The crack started to show at JGR immediately after Johnson collected his ninth career victory at Martinsville. A tire problem had already dropped JGR driver Carl Edwards to last in the Chase field, but Hamlin, Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch had cars capable of winning.

Talented but inexperienced Iowa State bolstered by Hawkeyes seeking another return of star point guard NCAA tournament run Monte Morris for 2016-17

IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa goes from being one of the nation’s most experienced teams to being one of its youngest.

That doesn’t necessarily mean the Hawkeyes will take a major step back in 2016-17.

Jarrod Uthoff, Mike Gesell, Anthony Clemmons and Adam Woodbury are gone after leading Iowa to three straight NCAA Tournaments — something it hadn’t accomplished in more than two decades.

What remains is a potential Big Ten player of the year in Peter Jok and an intriguing yet largely untested supporting cast.

Jok, a senior shooting guard who averaged 16.1 points per game in 2015, should get as many shots as any player in the conference now that Uthoff is in the pros.

Gesell’s starting point guard job could go to sophomore Christian Williams, who is 6-foot-5 with a long reach and a mandate to get stronger and learn the playbook.

Senior Dale Jones, junior Dom Uhl, sophomore Ahmad Wagner and highly-touted freshman Tyler Cook will be counted on to replace Uthoff and Woodbury’s production in the frontcourt, and super-sub Nicholas Baer should play a bigger role after an offseason spent working on his strength and his conditioning.

HAWKEYES | 2B

AMES (AP) — Iowa State had already planned on losing Georges Niang, perhaps the best player in school history, to graduation. The Cyclones were left to hope that star point guard Monte Morris wouldn’t follow Niang to the NBA. The surprising return of Morris, a senior, should keep Iowa State in Big 12 contention and beyond in 2016-17.

The Cyclones won’t have as much sheer talent at the top of its rotation as it did a year ago, when it was led

by Niang and his 20.5 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game.

But Iowa State’s depth, a major concern last season, should be markedly improved this year.

Beyond Morris, the Big 12 preseason player of the year, the Cyclones return shooting guard Naz Mitrou-Long from season-ending in-

juries and swing man Matt Thomas, who blossomed into a high-level Big 12 starter in 2015-16.

A pair of 6-foot-8, one-and-done senior transfers, Merrill Holden (Louisiana Tech) and Darrell Bowie (Northern Illinois), replace Jameel McKay at center.

Junior forward Deonte Burton is expected to take a big step forward in his first full season in Ames, and second-year coach Steve Prohm said newly-eligible guard Nick Weiler-Babb has the most NBA potential of anyone on the roster. Even the expected loss of Morris turned out to be a blessing for Iowa State. It recruited junior college standout Donovan Jackson to replace Morris and now has both.

World Series Continued from Page 1B “We’re in good position, still,” Cleveland slugger Mike Napoli said. “We’re up 3-2 going home.

We did what we had to do here.

We put ourselves in position to try and win it in a crazy atmosphere. We’re happy with what we did here. We’re going to get home and play in front of our fans.”

The Cubs are banking on another big effort from Arrieta and hoping for a better result against Tomlin.

Arrieta took a no-hitter into the sixth inning and pitched the Cubs to a 5-1 victory in Game 2 at Progressive Field. Win on Tuesday and they’ll send major league ERA leader Kyle Hendricks to the mound in Game 7.

Of course, the Indians also are feeling good about their chances.

After all, Tomlin tossed 4 2/3 scoreless innings in Game 3 before giving way to that nasty bullpen. And if it goes to Game 7, well, the Indians will have their ace in play, Corey Kluber.

He — like Tomlin — would be pitching on short rest, unlike Arrieta and Hendricks. But when it comes to beating Klu-

Hawkeyes Continued from Page 1B “We’ve got too many guys, and that’s a good problem to have. A lot of times you get to this point and you look and say, ‘Ok, well, these three guys are definitely not playing.’ I don’t have that with this team,” seventh-year coach Fran McCaffery said. “I don’t have a mistake maker. I don’t have a guy who’s confused every day. I don’t have a guy who’s out of shape.”

Does McCaffery have

Iowa State Continued from Page 1B “Morris has been terrific.

He had a great summer. He got bigger. He got stronger. He understands he has to be a leader on this team,” Prohm said.

Here are some of the story lines to follow as Iowa State looks to make its sixth consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance this March.

Morris’ Role Prohm built a reputation for developing lead guardtype players while at Murray State, so it’ll be interesting to see how Morris’s role develops

NASCAR Continued from Page 1B But as the JGR cars ran nose-to-tail in the closing laps, Brad Keselowski slipped past them and grabbed second-place behind Johnson.

Hamlin, Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch are inside the top-four as the series heads to Texas Motor Speedway. But all was not well in the Gibbs camp after the race.

Busch felt Hamlin finished the highest by holding up Kenseth and Busch in the waning laps.

Although the teammates worked well together on restarts, Busch felt that Hamlin not getting out of the way allowed Johnson to win and Keselowski to finish second.

“We work so good together that we just gave the win to (Johnson). So, JGR all the way,” Busch said. “At the end, you had the slowest Gibbs car holding up the rest of the line, and all we did was let somebody else from another organization pass us and go up there and chase down (Johnson).”

Hamlin disputed Busch’s view.

“I may have held those

ber, the Cubs are 0-for-2 in this Series.

“Yeah, we get to go over there with two rested starting pitchers,” Chicago manager Joe Maddon said. “I like to believe we’re going to catch or gain some momentum from this game going back over there. But momentum’s always based on your starting pitcher, too. And again, with these guys you saw how good their bullpen was. Once again, it’s really important to grab that lead and hold onto it.”

There was plenty for Maddon to like about Game 5.

The pitching performances by Chapman and Lester and the home run by Bryant topped the list. But how about Jason Heyward and his highlight-reel catch on Trevor Bauer’s foul fly down the right-field line in the third inning? Heyward planted his foot and grabbed the top of enough guys to make it back to the NCAA Tournament?

Not even he knows for certain heading into November. Here are some of keys to consider as Iowa undergoes its biggest roster overhaul in years: Cook’s Time McCaffery typically doesn’t try to over-hype his freshmen.

But the 6-foot-9 Cook was ranked as the 38th-best player in the country by ESPN as a senior, and he’ll likely slide into a starting role as a power forward.

“I think he’s an impact player, certainly on our team, in our league, and on a nain 2016-17. Morris always has been happy to dish out assists, setting the NCAA record for assist-to-turnover ratio as a freshman and a sophomore.

But last season Morris began to look for his own shot more than ever, finishing with a career-high 13.8 points per game.

Naz is Back Mitrou-Long’s decision to seek a medical redshirt after just eight games in 2015-16 robbed the Cyclones of some much-needed depth. But his return should make Iowa State better than expected in 201617.

Mitrou-Long, a fifth-year senior that Prohm said is

guys up for a little bit of that final run but definitely don’t think I was holding anyone up at the end, for sure,” Hamlin said.

There have been times this season that JGR was the most dominant organization in the garage, and as they advanced all four Toyotas into this round of eight of NASCAR’s playoffs, it became a very real possibility they would roll into the final four. Of course, the odds were against a sweep. Johnson made it official.

The driver in the most trouble is clearly Edwards, who had a strong car until a tire issue sent him hard into the wall.

He had to go to the garage for repairs, finished 36th and is last in the Chase standings.

Edwards said Goodyear officials told him the tire problem was related to a belt failure.

“That’s really big of them to say, ‘Hey, there’s nothing you could have done about it,’” Edwards said. “We had a really good race going and sometimes that’s just what happens in racing. Now we just go to Texas and try to win there and Phoenix — we could win at either

the wall, then reached back toward the field with his glove to snag the ball.

Or what about Anthony Rizzo at first base?

He had the crowd roaring in the second inning when he ran in and caught a foul pop by Carlos Santana that catcher David Ross deflected near the first base dugout.

Rizzo also made a diving stop on Rajai Davis’ grounder down the line in the eighth. Chapman, however, said he fell toward third on his delivery and by the time he realized it was a fair ball, it was too late to cover first.

Something else to consider: With the Series shifting back to Cleveland, the Cubs can use slugger Kyle Schwarber as their designated hitter again.

He’s not permitted to play the field, but was cleared by doctors to hit. That was a neat October surprise for the Cubs after Schwarber missed almost the entire season because of a knee injury.

“We’re always confident,” Rizzo said. “We get to see Tomlin now a second time on short rest. I’m going to convince myself that ... he’s not going to be as sharp. (Schwarber) is back, and I’m sure he’s chomping at the bit.”

Cutler, Howard lead Bears to win over first-place Vikings CHICAGO (AP) — Jay Cutler threw for 252 yards and a touchdown after missing five games with a thumb injury, rookie Jordan Howard ran for a career-high 153 yards and a TD, and the Chicago Bears stunned the Minnesota Vikings 20-10 on Monday night.

The Bears (2-6) sacked Sam Bradford five times while handing the NFC North-leading Vikings (5-2) their second straight loss.

Cutler was on target in his return from a sprained right thumb. Howard easily surpassed his previous high of 118 yards. Alshon Jeffery got his first TD reception of the season, and Chicago outgained Minnesota 403 yards to 258.

Cutler had not played since he exited against

Philadelphia in the second game of the season.

But with his future up in the air after coach John Fox wavered in his commitment to him as the starter, he made a triumphant return.

Cutler completed 20of-31 passes, including an 11-yard touchdown to Jeffery early in the third that made it 20-3. Whether he quieted fans who thought the Bears were better off with Brian Hoyer is another issue. But that became a moot point when Hoyer broke his left arm last week in a Thursday night loss at Green Bay. Howard had a 69-yard run, the longest for Chicago in seven years. Zach Miller added 88 yards receiving as the Bears stopped a three-game losing streak.

tional level. I think he’s that good,” McCaffery said.

Dominant Dom? Uhl is one of the more unique players in the Big Ten. At 6-foot-9 and just 220 pounds, Uhl is built like Uthoff and he shares many of his former teammate’s characteristics. Uhl can drive to

the basket, block shots and hit open jumpers, though not at the level of Uthoff. But Uhl is still learning the game, and if he can continue to develop he might just turn out to be a capable sidekick for Jok, a traditional shooting guard.

Williams and Wagner Williams won’t be a coach on the floor like Gesell was. But he’s got more than a few inches on Gesell, and last season he displayed a rare ability to glide through traffic and get buckets over bigger defenders. Wagner, who at 6-foot-7 and 235 pounds, is built like a Kirk Fer-

entz-style tight end. He held his own when given a shot in 201516, and as a freshman rarely seemed rattled during any of McCaffery’s infamous sidelines rants. Look for Wagner to emerge as a leader this season.

Tough Sledding The young Hawkeyes will be tested early. They host Seton Hall on Nov. 17 and play Virginia and either Providence or Memphis in a Thanksgiving tournament in Florida. Iowa then plays at Notre Dame, hosts Iowa State and faces Northern Iowa on a neutral floor in Des Moines.

among the best leaders he’s ever coached, has promised to be the Cyclones “glue guy” this season. Mitrou-Long averaged 12 points a game a year ago.

Beast of Burton Burton, at 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, is a unique player in that he can mix it up in the post and take the ball down court for high-flying dunks.

But Burton was inconsistent last season, dominating one night and disappearing the next. Prohm said he wants Burton, who scored 9.7 points a game with 3.9 rebounds in his Iowa State debut, to average a double-double this season. “His work ethic has been exceptional,” Prohm said.

Holden and Bowie Iowa State likely won’t need either of them to play like stars. In the Cyclones’ smallball system, Holden and Bowie will be asked to provide a front-court presence, gets as many rebounds as they can and fling it up the court so that Morris and the backcourt

can exploit matchups in transition. Holden had 8.1 points with five rebounds a game for Tech last season.

Bowie was averaging 13 and seven for the Huskies before a shoulder injury set him back.

The Schedule Prohm must have figured that the Big 12 round-robin was tough enough, because Iowa State’s non-conference schedule is far from daunting.

A home date with Cincinnati and a road game at Iowa are the highlights, although the Cyclones could get Miami in a tournament game the day after Thanksgiving.

one of those race tracks.”

Only problem? Johnson has won the last four November races at Texas Motor Speedway, and Kevin Harvick has won six of the last eight races at Phoenix International Speedway.

Harvick likely needs another win there to make the finale after a rough day at Martinsville for Stewart-Haas Racing .

Harvick and Kurt Busch finished 20th and 22nd and are both in the bottom half of the Chase standings. Danica Patrick and Tony Stewart, the two SHR drivers not in the Chase, finished 24th and 26th.

“We were slow all weekend,” Harvick said.

“We could just never get the handle on it.”

That’s not going to cut it the next two weeks, where Johnson plans to race to win even though he’s already set for Homestead.

“The big takeaway for us over these next two weeks could be momentum,” Johnson said. “If we can run up front or win again, I mean, that’s just huge momentum for the team.

That’s the big thing we have that could work for us going to Homestead.”

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You’re considerate, and you love to please, but you’re also careful not to waste a lot of effort where it won’t be appreciated. You’ll have the biggest impact when your efforts are well-matched to the situation.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Go on and jot down those notes to yourself. You’ll be surprised by your own pen.

Also, writing will help you mentally organize yourself even if you don’t save what you’ve written.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). People making hysterical fools out of themselves may be in keeping with the shenanigans of the

day, and you’ll laugh along with the others. You won’t feel complete until you’ve tended to more serious tones, too.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Congratulations: Today you are the solution. Of course, that means that in order to really shine, you need a problem.

Open your helping heart and the perfect one will quickly show up.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ll speak powerfully and confidently. Your ideas will be a hit, as long as you act on them. Be decisive. Follow through. Don’t ask for permission when you know it’s what’s best for all.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The one who should be in the

starring role of your life is you. Someone else seems to be vying for the part these days.

Yes, this person needs care and love, too -- but save some for you! Healthy boundaries are the way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

People will work for your approval, ask for your advice and make various kinds of attempts for your support. It is no small thing to be respected by your peers.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Stay buoyant. The others are counting on you to break the ice, crack a joke, make it fun. The heavy karma will work itself out in a hundred lighthearted exchanges.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’ve had to surmount a few difficulties to get here, and now the challenge you face is one of your own design -that’s what makes it worthwhile. This is harder than what others would have encouraged you to take on.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It might not go according to plan, but it will all go better because you have a plan.

Prioritize consciously before you get into your day, or you’ll wind up serving someone else’s priorities.
