Local landowners seek supervisors’ opposition to oil pipeline

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News Two Mingo landowners potentially affected by the construction of the Bakken crude oil pipeline will ask the Jasper County Board of Supervisors Tuesday to support a resolution denying Dakota Access, LLC the permitting rights to construct a portion of the 1,134-mile pipeline through Jasper County.

Landowner Kathy Holdefer and row crop farmer Dan Gannon sent the letter along with Newton resident Elaine Mattingly, requesting to

be placed on Tuesday’s agenda and for the board to take a position on the controversial project.

Energy Transfer Partners — the parent company of Dakota Access, LLC — has been pushing the development of the Bakken oil pipeline — stretching from North Dakota to a hub Patoka, Ill. and gulf coast refineries — for the last year. The pipeline would carry 570,000 barrels of crude oil per day through the state. ETP is hoping to lay 343.43 miles of underground pipe in Iowa, with 33.73 PIPELINE | 3A

Tax advice event to focus on women working from home

NCSD board set to address bond referendum Monday’s meeting will include progress report on reconfiguration timeline

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Several items related to 201617 reconfiguration are on the agenda for the Newton Community School District Board of Education when it sits down for its regular meeting at 6:30 p.m. Monday in the Emerson Hough conference room.

Individual board members are scheduled to present or help present select items on the agenda. The bond referendum, listed on the agenda as a discussion/action item, will be led by board vice president Travis Padget and board members Josh Cantu and Andy Elbert.

The board will also hold a first reading of board policies as indicated by the Iowa Association of School Boards. This discussion item will be led by director of business services Gayle Isaac and board

members Robyn Friedman and Ann Leonard.

The only non-routine action-only item on Monday’s agenda is consideration of scheduling an EXCEL Model board work session using tools learned at the Capturing Kids’ Hearts staff seminar in June.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan is scheduled to present progress reports on both the development of a reconfiguration timeline and on the remodel of the new administration building on First Avenue West. ​ Callaghan will also discuss early estimates on anticipated 201617 supplemental state aid, acknowledge the proceeds from the sixth-graders “Design an Ad” project that involves the Newton Daily News and announce the district administration’s Facebook page.

The meeting will put the school

board in the Emerson Hough conference room for the fifth consecutive Monday. In addition to its regular meetings, the board — along with some administrators — has held two open work sessions, including one this past Monday, where the reconfiguration topics of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, obstacles, goal identification and moving forward were on the agenda.

A pair of special public input meetings for redrawing the district’s elementary-school attendance zone boundaries, involving the Rob Schwarz Planning firm, have been scheduled. The first one is set for Nov. 17, with the follow-up meeting on Dec. 10, both at 6 p.m. in the Berg Middle School cafeteria.

The board’s next regular meeting is set for Nov. 23 at Emerson Hough.

Calendar Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Motivational speaker Bill Cordes came to Newton High School Oct. 29 for a daylong package of assemblies and group exercises. His theme of “You Only Get Out What You Put In,” or YOGOWYPI, included powerful stories about his relationship with his father and focused on accountability and priorities.

Speaker’s message speaks to many aspects of maturity Cordes highly praised by both NHS students, faculty

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Some acronyms are so long, it almost seems easier to say all the words or terms in it.

In the case of motivational speaker Bill Cordes’ signature acronym, the concepts involved are all so essential and powerful, it’s clear to see why it has eight characters and four syllables.

Cordes came to Newton High School Oct. 29 for a daylong package of assemblies and group exercises. His theme of “You Only Get Out What You Put In,” or YOGOWYPI, included compelling stories about his relationship with his father and focused on accountability and priorities.

There was no cost to the Newton Community School District for Cordes to attend, as his visit was arranged by the NHS Student Council. Two assemblies in the morning and an intensive personal-development workshop in the afternoon were the main components of his work at NHS, much of which was overseen by student council advisor Kelly Tremmel, NHS Principal Bill Peters and other NHS staff.

NHS junior Hannah Yeager said the day gave her useful insights about herself and her classmates.

“Throughout the day, we focused on relationships,” Yeager said. “The activities we did during the school unity project helped me learn a lot about kids in our

school. It was an amazing and eye-opening experience.”

Cordes took command of all the self-building and team-building activities of the day, from calling out a student for looking at a cell phone during an assembly to encouraging accountability for expressing needs in all relationships.

In one part of the afternoon workshop, Cordes had two students write out, on easel pads, lists related to teens getting along with their parents. The group discussion that produced the terms on those lists had, at times, some laughter, but it also had some candid, serious moments about teen and adult expectations of each other.

Rather than lecture or moralize, Cordes tried to be a sounding board, reflecting what he heard.

“You want your parents to be like, ‘I raised you; I trust that I did a good enough raising you, that you’re going to make the right choices,’” he said. “You want them to accept you for who you are and the person you’ll become, with different ideas, different opinions and you don’t necessarily think like they do.”

Peters, who has seen many invited speakers at schools through the years, said he was very impressed with how specific Cordes is able to be in his approach. He said the the NHS student council will follow up with a workshop using the tenets of Cordes’ program.

“We loved his presentation,”

Peters said. “The message of respect and accepting others was powerful.”

Peters said the students included in the afternoon workshop represented a large cross-section of the student body, with one common trait being most are involved in at least one extra-curricular club or activity.

“A variety of groups and clubs in the school each sent in names of kids to be in the afternoon session,” Peters said. “The workshop, with 100-plus kids, helped kids realize everyone needs positive relationships and showed them how to build those in a school setting.”

Cordes encouraged students to be honest with themselves about what they really feel, and about how much effort they put into friendships and other relationships.

Freshman Skye Gregory said some of the experiences shared by her peers during the workshop showed her what she has in common with fellow Cardinals — and showed her some experiences that are more unique.

“One thing that stuck out to me was YOGOWYPI,” Gregory said. “I also liked doing the ‘cross-the-line’ activity because it was very eye opening to see what others have been struggling with.”

Four finalists selected in C-M superintendent search

By Mike Mendenhall Jasper County Tribune COLFAX — The Colfax-Mingo Board of Education has announced the final four candidates in its search to find a new superintendent, and the list includes the school district’s interim superintendent Tracy Hook.

Iowa Department of Education Deputy Director Jeff Berger, joint-Pekin Community Schools and Tri-County Community School District Superintendent Dennis Phelps and Centerville schools super-

Pipeline Continued from Page 1A miles in rural areas of Jasper County from Mingo through rural Reasnor.

Holdefer said she and Des Monies-based activist group Iowa Citizens for Community improvement will also be sending out a similar request from Iowa Sen. Chaz Allen (D-Newton) — who is also the director of Jasper County Development Corp. — and Jasper County Environmental Health Director Kevin

intendent Anthony Ryan were the other top three selections.

Hook was a retired Saydel High School principal and the district’s interim superintendent before filling the temporary

leadership role in C-M in July.

According to C-M board secretary Deb Hodgson, Colfax and Mingo residents will have an opportunity to meet the candidates face-to-face and weigh in on the

selection during 4:15 p.m. meetand-greets at C-M Jr/Sr. each day of the interview process. Burger will be interviewed Nov. 16, Ryan on Nov. 17, Hook on Nov. 18 and Phelps on Nov. 19. The candidates will also meet with stakeholder groups comprised of students, C-M teaching staff, C-M support staff and a commissioned community group.

The names were revealed Monday following a 3 p.m. closed session school board meeting Sunday in Colfax-Mingo Jr/ Sr High School Media Center.

The board voted 7-0 to approve

Leutters to public speak out against the project.

The move comes two weeks after the Boone County Board of Supervisors unanimously passed a similar resolution opposing permitting and construction of the pipeline through Boone County. In the resolution passed Oct. 21, the Boone County board cited impacts on waterways, farmland and wildlife from a potential leak as reason for its vote.

The resolution also states that due to Iowa law’s base requirement of $250,000 surety

bond from for hazardous liquid pipeline projects, Boone County “does not have the resources for first responders and other resources needed to protect people and property from a pipeline, and even surety 10 times that amount would not be sufficient to cover the cost of remediation from the spill.”

The resolution also urges the Iowa Utilities Board to deny Dakota Access’ request for eminent domain.

A final public hearing is scheduled to begin next week to decide if the IUB will

grant Dakota Access the use of eminent domain for the private project. The IUB will hold the hearing beginning at 9 a.m. Nov. 12 at the Boone County Fairgrounds. This first day has been reserved for public comments on the pipeline’s development.

The board announced Monday that due to substantial public interest in attending and speaking at the hearing, the IUB has alerted it’s public commenting process from a first-come, firstserved basis to a sign-up processes. The board has limited

The things I remember

By Pam Rodgers Associate Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Nov. 6, 2015

I grew up in a tight-knit family environment. I tell people about annual big get-togethers with my mom’s siblings and their families.

I also grew up only blocks away from my paternal grandparents.

Mac and Helen Rodgers lived just across the street from the Garwin school building. I would get off the bus and walk (sometimes run) the short distance to their door.

They had a huge fenced in yard with lots of trees. There was an old tractor tire filled with sand right next to the bench swing.

Green clothesline criss-crossed the entire area, making perfect places to hang sheets and create an instant fort my brother wasn’t allowed to enter.

My favorite asset was the swing set. I spent countless hours swinging back and forth, going down the slide or climbing one of the poles to hang from the top bar then jumping from the highest point to the ground. I wish I was still that fearless.

I remember everything about that yard from the rusty gate latch

to the picnic table that always had something grandpa was working on top of it.

The house was my second home. It was small, but it was my playroom as I grew. I would always race through the house to get to “my desk.” A small downstairs room had been converted into a playroom. There wasn’t a lot of room, but there was enough to fit two little desks side-by-side for my sister and I. We loved to color and would spend hours at the desks doing just that.

Grandpa would always have a project going; and when he would need our help, Trish and I had our little chairs to sit next to him while he would tinker and show us what to do. I knew how to use an electric screwdriver and tie quilt knots before I was in upper elementary school. Helping grandma in the kitchen was my favorite. I wish I could cook as well as she could.

I have everything about that house memorized — from the cracked yellow linoleum in the dining room to the brown cur-

tains in the living room.

Memory is a fickle thing though. I’d like to know what kind of algorithm the brain uses to determine what sticks and what doesn’t. Shouldn’t we be allowed more choice in the matter?

I found out fairly early in life that isn’t always the case.

My grandparents were such a big part of my life. We never needed babysitters because grandpa and grandma were always there to care for us when mom and dad were working or coaching.

When I was 11, my dad told me my grandma, his mother, had something called Alzheimer’s.

What did that mean? I hadn’t heard of such a strange sounding thing. I remember everything about that moment. I had just played and lost a little league playoff softball game to our rivals, Ferguson, missing the championship by one game. Then I learned the grandma I knew and loved would slowly drift away.

The woman who taught me how to sew and bake chocolate chip

cookies would never be the same.

It was a blessing that she only suffered with the disease for two years, but it felt like a long two years. It seems so unfair that all of my good memories with grandma had to end with the sad looks of unrecognition and confusion. In this instance, I have a choice. I always remember my grandmother first and her suffering second. I will do everything in my power to remember her forever, but even if I fail, I believe we will know each other in heaven some day.

November is National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness and Caregivers Month designated

by President Ronald Reagan in 1983. Whether you know someone who has it or know a family who has dealt with it, remember to do what you can for these affected by the disease. Hopefully someday, we will find a cure so no one will have to go through it again.

multi-talented actress/storyteller/speaker from Lincoln, Neb. who previously appeared at the Newton Public Library on June 18 to present “The Story of the Orphan Train.” Those who missed her affecting performance then would do well not to miss her return engagement Monday.

Millions of immigrants,

mainly Europeans, had their first experience of life in America at Ellis Island in the period from 1892 to 1930. Ms. White will share many of their stories, some amusing, some frightening — all of them true and inspiring. Your readers will not want to miss this remarkable program Monday evening at 6 p.m.

States could be considered functionally illiterate. 4) Average achievement of high school students on most standardized tests was lower than 26 years prior, when Sputnik was launched. 5) The College Board’s Scholastic Aptitude Tests (SAT) demonstrated a virtually unbroken decline from 1963 to 1980. Average verbal scores fell over 50 points and average mathematics scores dropped nearly 40 points.

6) Many 17-year-olds did not possess the “higher order” intellectual skills expected of them.

Nearly 40 percent could not draw inferences from written material; only one-fifth could write a persuasive essay; and only onethird could solve a mathematics problem requiring several steps.

7) There was a steady decline in science achievement scores of U.S. 17-year-olds as measured by national assessments of science in 1969, 1973, and 1977. 8) Between 1975 and 1980, remedial mathematics courses in public 4-year colleges increased by 72 percent, constituting one-quar-

ter of all mathematics courses taught in those institutions. 9) Average tested achievement of students graduating from college was lower. 10) Business and military leaders complained that they were required to spend millions of dollars on costly remedial education and training programs in such basic skills as reading, writing, spelling, and computation. The Department of the Navy, for example, reported to the Commission that one-quarter of its recent recruits could not read at the ninth grade level, the minimum needed simply to understand written safety instructions. Without remedial work they could not even begin, much less complete, the sophisticated training essential in much of the modern military.

Educators responded by expanding Special Ed. (blaming students), continued dumbing down assessment tests, and failed to improve teaching. The recent NAEP results show little ability to make improvements thirty-three years later.

How do you feel about those people that think they know everything?

W e all know a person like that.

No matter what you’re discussing, they a l r e a d y By Dana King k n e w it and most likely knew even more.

I don’t pretend to know it all, and I can’t say I learn something new every day, but I do appreciate the fact that I’m still able to learn.

There are basically three learning styles — visual, auditory and kinesthetic.

I learn at my best by being hands-on which is indicative of the kinesthetic learner. Literally touching and doing. I seem to catch on to things more quickly if there is some kind of physical activity involved. I like to “do.”

However, these people often prefer to work in a group setting and I haven’t wanted to do anything like that since I was 10 years old. However, in my case, I also think that may have a lot to do with being a bit obsessive about things. You know … if you want it done right, you have to do it yourself.

I also rate relatively high as a visual learner.

I need to see the information. I have — what I think — is a good eye for detail, so if I see it, I’ve generally got it. I visualize things. When I read a book, I’ve got a little movie reel playing in my head. And it’s always better than anything I could see on a screen, therefore, I don’t go to the theater to see a movie version of anything I’ve read.

Now, when it comes

to learning through any type of auditory means?

Ask my family, friends or co-workers just how well I retain things they tell me. I can remember plenty if I see it or read it. If they were to ask me a question about something that ran in the newspaper three years ago, I could most likely tell them where it was on the page and if it was on the right or left side.

However, by the time I leave work in the afternoon, I struggle remembering things I’ve talked about with our weeklies news editor, Mike, at 8 a.m. that same day. There are times — more often than I care to admit — he will remind me I’ve left something off the front page of the paper that we may have discussed earlier in the day.

Seriously, if it wasn’t on the budget — our list of stories for the upcoming week — I print out first thing each Monday morning, it simply doesn’t stick in my head.

But in my defense, I am doing a lot of muti-tasking up there at all times.

Come to think of it, this is a style of learning also foreign to my kids as they were growing up. Hmmm … and I just thought they were ignoring me. Nah, they would never have done that.

So anyway…

I mentioned I’m a hands-on learner and generally pick things up rather quickly. Until it comes to brushing my teeth.

I bought a battery operated toothbrush last spring. To this day I still haven’t figured out how to brush my teeth using that thing without spraying toothpaste all over the bathroom mirror.

Teens spend an average of 9 hours a day with media NEW YORK (AP) — Teenagers spend nearly nine hours a day absorbing media and despite all the new options, music and television remain the favorites.

Common Sense Media released an exhaustive survey Tuesday out-

lining how young people spend screen time. One concern: the number of youngsters who feel comfortable multi-tasking while doing homework.

Two-thirds of teenagers said they listen to music every day, and 58

percent said the same about watching television, the study said. By contrast, 45 percent reported using social media every day and only 36 percent said they enjoyed that activity “a lot”; twice as many said they really enjoyed their

music.

Television is the favorite activity of preteens, with 62 percent of respondents aged 8 to 12 saying they watched every day, the study said.

Tweens said they spend just under six hours a day of media time.

FAMILY CIRCUS

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Nov. 6, 2015

Family offers little sympathy after online boyfriend’s death DEAR ABBY: I am a 20-year-old woman. A few months ago, my boyfriend (my very first boyfriend) committed suicide. I feel absolutely destroyed.

The problem is, my family doesn’t regard my feelings of grief seriously because our relationship was started and maintained online. We lived several states apart, and while we never met in person, we talked every night and video-chatted many, many times. My feelings for him were real.

I broke down when I heard the news, and I still hurt, but my family thinks I’m overreacting. They can’t understand how a relationship with someone online can be serious. How can I make them recognize how much pain I’m in?

The fact they refuse to recognize this loss hurts me so much more. What do I do? — ALL ALONE IN LOUISIANA DEAR ALL ALONE: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of someone you cared about so deeply. That your parents would minimize your feelings is sad, but it says more about them and their level of sensitivity than the depth of your relationship with him. Many serious relationships have started online, and marriages as well, and I understand you are left mourning all the things that might have been.

At 20, you are no longer a child. You can find emotional support elsewhere.

Talk to your clergyperson, if you have one, or look online for a grief support group you can join. There you will be able to safely vent about your feelings with others who understand what you are experiencing right now.

DEAR ABBY: My parents divorced four years ago. Mom currently lives with my husband and me. We have a great relationship with her, and she never speaks ill of my father. She has moved on, found a new direction in life and a new boyfriend we all like very much.

Dad moved in with the woman he cheated on Mom with, but their relationship fell apart. He has never stopped speaking ill of Mom. When things aren’t going well for him, he causes trouble by showing up at Mom’s workplace and making a scene. He’ll also come over to our house unannounced to talk badly about her.

He was a great father until a few years ago when all this trouble started.

I feel torn between trying to continue a relationship with him or cutting him out of my life like a bad daughter.

What should I do? — CAUGHT IN THE MIDDLE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR CAUGHT: Your father’s behavior is sick. Depending upon how disruptive he is when he shows up at your mother’s workplace, suggest she consider getting a restraining order preventing him from acting out that way. She must have a very understanding employer to have tolerated it, because that kind of disruption has been known to cost people their jobs.

And when your dad shows up at your home unannounced, speak up.

Tell him you and your husband don’t like it. Make clear that his nasty comments about your mother aren’t welcome, and neither will he be, unless he calls first to see if a visit is all right with everyone. His misbehavior continues because you have allowed it.

Baxter caboose assessment starts talks on trail head extension Hometown Pride committee makes Chichaqua trail priority

By Mike Mendenhall Jasper County Tribune BAXTER — Kansas-based train enthusiast and inspector Jason Midyette took shelter from a chilly rain Oct. 23 inside an appropriate place for his hobby — an old, red caboose in Baxter.

Midyette was commissioned by the Baxter Hometown Pride committee to assess years of weathering, wear and tear on the old train car which sits at the trail head of the Chichaqua Valley Trail near the town’s main street.

The committee hopes to restore the unique fixture as part of Jasper Follow

County’s affiliation with the Keep Iowa Beautiful program and make it a destination on the trail system.

“Originally railroad cars were made entirely of wood with some metal reinforcement,” Midyette said while examining the caboose Oct. 23. “Then they moved to a steel under-frame with all wood superstructure. Then this car is an early attempt at more steel.”

The caboose was used

by Rock Island Line, built between 1938 and 1944.

Midyette said during this time the railroad company converted a bunch of old boxcars into cabooses. The structure is one of the early attempts at a steel railroad car.

The Baxter caboose has a steel frame with a double layer of wood paneling which comprises the outside and inside

siding. And, Midyette said, that’s where the repairs could get tricky.

Some of the wood is showing signs of rot and will need to be replaced but the outside and inside walls are bolted together, so both the interior and exterior will need to be removed to replace the wood.

Baxter City Clerk and Hometown Pride Committee member Peg Kimberly told the Jasper County Tribune in January the caboose was originally brought to Baxter in 1995 by Larry and Norma Kiser through a $4,000 Project Main Street grant. The Baxter City Council debated how to handle the aging caboose earlier this year before it was designated a priority by Baxter Hometown Pride.

Baxter Hometown Pride Committee mem-

ber Mike Kaiser said the assessment is part of getting a project outline started to look more attractive while applying for grants and other funding avenues. The committee is exploring the possibility of extending the Chichaqua Valley trail head in Baxter into a nearby park.

“This is the cornerstone of (the trail) because this is where it starts. We’re looking at extending the trail head into Geise ‘Shady’ Park and to make that more attractive,” Kaiser said.

The committee is also looking at a grassroots effort to raise money for the caboose renovation by selling T-shirts with a logo reading “Baxter Hometown Pride” surrounding an image of the caboose. Kaiser said Baxter’s Hometown Pride group is even exploring designing

and selling a calender to support the effort.

The committee has not released a price for the T-shirts. For more information on how to support Baxter’s Hometown Pride

projects contact Peg Kimberley at city@baxter-iowa.com.

Carly Dahlem, 22, is in her senior year at The University of Mississippi, and she has made the Ole Miss Rebels cheerleading squad for the first time this year.

Dahlem’s parents, Mike and Terri, are both graduates of Newton High School. She is the granddaughter of Patti Trease, Larry and Clara Trease and Carole and Jerry Butler, all of Newton.

The Woodlands, Texas native said her lifelong love of tumbling and cheering, coupled with her passion for Ole Miss inspired her to try out one

last time to cheer for Ole Miss. She has tried out for the cheer team as a freshman but was cut in the final round. Realizing this was her final year on campus, she threw caution to the wind and signed up for the spring tryouts.

Dahlem was one of the oldest girls to audition for the team and her competition was made up of mostly incoming freshman.

“Going into tryouts, I knew my work was cut out for me and I would need to start training for it early,” Dahlem said.

She made it through all of the tryout rounds, falling just short of the team in the final round.

As luck would have it, the coach had offered her a callback chance should anyone drop out before the Aug. 1 deadline. On the day of the deadline, she received a call that a spot had opened up and the spot was hers if she wanted it.

“When I listened to the voicemail, I was in total shock and couldn’t stop screaming,” Dahlem said, “So, I listened to it again and again.”

Dahlem who was a high school cheerleader and a competitive gymnast all of her life is now one of only two seniors on the team. Read the whole story online at bit.ly/1WDhE7k.

Iowa roadside Zoo under scrutiny

By Grant Rodgers The Associated Press MANCHESTER — It’s a sunny fall morning as Pam Sellner greets the dozen home-schooled children taking a field trip to her roadside zoo and shows them Consuela, a 2-year-old kinkajou.

As Consuela rests in her owner’s palm, the children pet the South American tree-dweller.

“There’s her long tongue that pollinates things in the rain forest,” Sellner tells the children.

“She wants to meet everybody. How about it?”

She teaches the children how to mimic the throaty “chuffing” sound of a tiger so they can talk back and forth with Rajahn and Natasha, two tigers.

“It’s a pretty big deal when you’re a little tiny kid and a great bit 600-pound cat wants to greet you,” she said in an interview with The Des Moines Register.

These are the scenes Sellner recounts when she defends her embattled Cricket Hollow Zoo, the passion project she has run since 2002 on the 20-acre northeast Iowa dairy farm where she lives with her husband, Tom.

But Iowa animal rights activists tell a different story of the Cricket Hollow Zoo, claiming that the animals Sellner has amassed live in wretched conditions, their enclosures filled with feces and flies.

The activists’ concerns mirror reports from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, whose inspectors have documented a host of problems, from foul smells to rodent droppings in a room where food is stored, potentially exposing animals to disease.

The conditions have so incensed the nonprofit Animal Legal Defense Fund that it has sued the zoo, arguing that the care of lemurs, tigers and hybrid wolves violates the Endangered Species Act and that the animals need to be rescued.

The Des Moines Register reports The lawsuit has thrust the tiny Iowa zoo into a larger battle of ideologies over exotic animal ownership.

Organizations such as the World Wildlife Fund fight to ban the private ownership of tigers, claiming the dangers of a cat getting loose are too great and that federal and local officials often lack

the teeth to enforce animal welfare regulations.

One witness at the trial, California veterinarian Jennifer Conrad, testified the Sellners “do not care about these animals any more than to have them as trophies.”

Sellner and others argue that private ownership is a right that helps spread appreciation for animals.

Parked in front of the Sellner house is a red Chevrolet Silverado with a bumper sticker that depicts the mischievous character Calvin of the “Calvin and Hobbes” comic strip urinating on the word PETA, the international animal rights group that opposes all zoos.

Sellner concedes that her Cricket Hollow Zoo isn’t “perfect.” But she believes expert witnesses who testified against her at the trial vilified the zoo, even though they admitted at trial that they never visited it.

“I would say it’s a pretty bold statement for somebody under oath to say, ‘Those people don’t love their animals, and they’re nothing but trophies to them.’ Because that’s the farthest thing from

the truth,” Sellner said.

What drives Sellner to buy and keep so many exotic animals?

“I guess I’m a crazy cat lady,” she says.

Her family has raised in their home many of the lions, tigers, cougars

and bobcats that have lived at the zoo.

Njjarra, an 18-yearold lioness who now lives in a reconfigured corn crib, was raised by Seth Sellner, the couple’s son, who was killed in 2009 in a truck crash when he

was 26.

The collection of more than 300 animals at the Cricket Hollow Zoo is a menagerie of big cats, two black bears, livestock, primates, hybrid wolves, coyotes, birds, reptiles and others.

Iowa Speedway announces complete 2016 schedule Newton Daily News Iowa Speedway announced Thursday its full 2016 racing schedule, featuring eight high-powered races over three weekends next summer.

Wide Opening Weekend will feature the first-ever pairing of the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and the NASCAR Xfin-

ity Series at Iowa Speedway.

Fans can make plans to celebrate Father’s Day Weekend and these two NASCAR national series as they take center stage June 18-19 in Newton.

The move to a June start will better serve fans who are busy with the planting season and graduations in the month of May.

“Pairing the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series with the NASCAR Xfinity Series on Father’s Day Weekend and an off-week for the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series

is quite a coup for us,” Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small said. “We will have top billing that weekend and we can’t wait to showcase central Iowa and ‘The Fastest Short Track on the Planet’ to motorsports fans here in Newton and across the country.”

IOWA | 2B

IOWA STATE | 2B

PRESSBOX | 2B

Troy Hyde/Daily News Akrum Wadley (25) has proved to be a steady force in the backfield for the Iowa Hawkeyes to add depth to the running back position.

The No. 10 Hawkeyes have four — when Jordan Canzeri returns from his ankle injury — running backs providing power on offense.

Iowa State finds identity through run game

Troy Hyde/Daily News With a change in offensive coordinators, Iowa State went to the running game, led by freshman Mike Warren (2), and found success.

The Cyclones rolled over Texas running the football 54 times last week. Iowa State heads to No. 14 Oklahoma Saturday.

AMES (AP) — Iowa State’s offense never found a consistent identity under Mark Mangino.

Five days after Mangino’s departure as offensive coordinator, the Cyclones discovered a personality and it is anchored in their surging running game.

Iowa State ran 54 times last weekend against Texas, one shy of its season high.

The result was a 24-0 win that snapped a three-game losing skid and restored some confidence to a program that appeared to be teetering on the verge of collapse.

The Cyclones (3-5, 2-3 Big 12) still have a long way to go to earn bowl eligibility, starting with a trip Saturday to face No. 14 Oklahoma (7-1, 4-1). Iowa State has not beaten the Sooners since 1990.

But Iowa State found a blueprint for success against the Longhorns that it will try to repeat over the final month of the season under recently promoted coordinator Todd Sturdy and new volunteer assistant Paul Wulff, a former Washington State coach.

“You’ve got to run to win,” tackle Jake Campos said.

Perhaps the main reason the Cyclones have shifted to a run-first philosophy was a simple matter of personnel.

Caught in World Series hangover, and loving it

Mike Warren, a backup in September, has become one of the nation’s best running backs. He leads all freshmen nationally with 954 yards, and since the third week of the season, he is third in the country among all backs with 154.3 yards per game.

Coach Paul Rhoads said he saw a change in Warren’s habits in the week leading up to a 23-20 loss to Toledo.

Since then, he’s led all Big 12 backs with 160 yards per game.

“His game exploded,” Rhoads said. “A lot of upside left in his game.”

The move to bench senior quarterback Sam Richardson in favor of sophomore Joel Lanning should also help the Cyclones run the ball more effectively.

Lanning, who at 6-foot2 and 235 pounds is built like a power back, rushed for 82 yards on just 13 carries against Texas, with 18 yards of those negated by six sacks.

Thanks largely to Warren and Lanning, the Cyclones were 15 of 24 on third down against the Longhorns.

Rhoads said six of those were from just a yard after running successfully on first or second downs.

Lanning and Warren

No. 10 Iowa’s depth at running back coming in handy in its best start in school history “It’s nice to have him back.

He’s our biggest back, and he’s also got speed as well.

And he runs the ball hard and tough,” quarterback C.J. Beathard said. “We’ve been missing him.”

The absence of Canzeri — who has rushed for 698 yards and nine touchdowns to go with 17 receptions — paved the way for Wadley to show he had moved beyond the ball security issues that left him benched for most of 2015.

Wadley had 204 yards rushing and four touchdowns in relief of Canzeri in a 40-10 win at Northwestern on Oct. 17.

He followed up with just 67 yards against Maryland, with Iowa determined to run on a defense determined to stop it.

Mitchell, a receiver converted to back in the offseason, was used on passing downs against the Terrapins and only registered one carry and a pair of receptions.

Still, Mitchell is averaging 7.4 yards on 18 carries this season.

Iowa’s run-first strategy, with nearly twice as many run plays called as passes in Big Ten play, is hardly a surprise. The Hawkeyes are winning the way they always have under Ferentz.

Iowa’s most successful teams played great defense

The Pressbox

I’m happy in my Royals’ Blue Heaven. Since late Sunday night — or early Monday morning, depending on how you look at things — I’ve been riding on a blue cloud nine and walking in a blue haze. What a great feeling!

Kansas City Royals fans are still floating along on By Jocelyn Sheets the amazing high our MLB Newton Daily News team has given us after a 30year wait. I’ve experienced this before. I was right there in the middle of it in 1985 at Kauffman Stadium (Royals Stadium then) when Kansas City claimed its first World Series championship.

How did the 2015 World Series Championship affect Royals fans? It shut down Kansas City metropolitan as an estimated 800,000 strong basked in the crowning of the Royals as the best MLB team this season during the Royals’ parade and rally Tuesday.

There were no super heroes for Kansas City, just baseball players having fun playing the game. No Thors (Noah Syndergaard) and no Dark Knights (Matt Harvey) as New York Mets have on their team.

I take that back. You could consider referring to Salvador Perez, the Royals’ catcher, as superman. He took foul balls off his mask, collarbone and fingers, and he kept on bouncing back.

Kansas City closed the World Series just like it opened it — dramatic ninth-inning comeback and a win in extra innings. Game 1 it was Alex Gordon hitting a game-tying solo home run in the ninth inning and the Royals winning in the 14th inning.

Game 5 was against Matt Harvey, who pitched Game 1 also for the Mets, and Harvey was cruising. The Mets held a 2-0 lead and Harvey got greedy, convincing his manager he should pitch the ninth. A walk to Lorenzo Cain and an RBI-double by Eric Hosmer chased Harvey out of the game.

The Royals still had to tie the game and Hosmer was at third base. Perez stepped to the plate bringing back memories of the 2014 World Series Game 7. Gordon was at third as the tying run against San Francisco that night with Perez batting. Perez fouled out and the Giants won the 2014 crown.

Not this time — Perez hit a slow grounder to Met’s third baseman David Wright, who looked at Hosmer, then threw to first. Hosmer broke for home, doing what the Royals do — put pressure on teams to make a play. The Mets couldn’t as first baseman Lucas Duda fired a wide throw to home and Hosmer was safe tying the game at 2-2.

The Royals turned things over to their bullpen, which held the Mets in check. Perez, the World Series MVP, looped a leadoff single in the 12th off losing pitcher Addison Reed, and pinch-runner Jarrod Dyson stole second. One out later, Christian Colon stepped in as a pinch-hitter for his first plate and he lined a 1-2 pitch into

SPEEDWAY | 2B

Running game emerges as power IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa used to be so thin at running back that it used a fullback there for three years.

That is not a problem anymore.

The emergence of sophomores Akrum Wadley and Derrick Mitchell, combined with last week’s return by opening day starter LeShun Daniels, has left No. 10 Iowa (8-0, 4-0 Big Ten) loaded at running back. The Hawkeyes can take their time with leading rusher Jordan Canzeri, who is expected back soon following an ankle sprain.

The Hawkeyes should have at least three backs ready Saturday when they face Indiana (4-4, 0-4) with a chance to match the best start in school history.

“We caught a break when LeShun came back. I thought LeShun looked the way we had hoped,” coach Kirk Ferentz said. “One thing about injuries. It forces you to develop depth.”

Daniels, Iowa’s power option at 225 pounds, sprained his right ankle during a 31-17 win at Iowa State in mid-September. He tried to play through his injury, but Iowa finally sat Daniels for two weeks ahead of its bye week.

The rest helped Daniels, who had 60 yards on 13 carries last weekend in a 31-15 win over Maryland.

Speedway: 2016 Wide Opening Weekend to feature historic NASCAR lineup Continued from Page 1B presented by Menards is back at Iowa Speedway for another mid-summer, short track classic Saturday night, July 9. The 150-lap ARCA race serves as the preamble to the next day’s IndyCar Series Iowa Corn 300, bringing together a high-profile stock car tour with the top open wheel circuit in America.

In the 2015 ARCA race, Iowa native Mason Mitchell thrilled the crowd when he took the checkered flag, proclaiming in Casey’s General Stores Victory Lane that the win was “his Daytona.”

The Verizon IndyCar Series Iowa Corn 300 will be Sunday, July 10. The last time that IndyCar raced on a Sunday, at Iowa Speedway, was in 2013 when James Hinchcliffe won his first career IndyCar Series race in front of Iowa’s passionate fan base.

The 2016 Verizon IndyCar Series Iowa Corn 300 will mark the 10th anniversary of the event. In 2007, Iowa Speedway gained widespread attention when IndyCar became the first major series to race at the newly opened track.

will be in action July 10.

“Having two Saturday-Sunday shows to open our season is great for fans who want to maximize their tailgate time and take in all the action of practice and qualifying,” Small said. “We believe the changes to our schedule increase the quality of the experience that fans will have when they come to the track, which is important as the summer months are jam packed with great things

to do in Iowa.”

The Iowa Speedway racing season concludes July 29-30 with another top-notch NASCAR doubleheader featuring the NASCAR K&N Pro Series East/West Casey’s General Stores 150 combination race and the ever-popular NASCAR Xfinity Series U.S. Cellular 250.

Season ticket sales begin Dec. 2. Current season ticket holders will receive a renewal letter in the mail and as in

years past, will have an opportunity to renew their existing tickets until Feb. 24.

Season ticket holders who have moved during the past 12 months should contact the Iowa Speedway ticket office with their change of address or update their Ticketmaster account to ensure they receive the renewal mailing.

Payment plans are available and offer great flexibility to fans who want to pay in installments.

diocrity in recent years partly because it didn’t have the players needed to play that way.

But Iowa has rediscovered its winning ways behind its backs, a punishing line and a defense that has allowed just 122 points all season — one

more point than top-ranked Ohio State.

“It’s something for a long time we’ve taken pride in here, way before I got here.

It’s something that’s always been a part of the identity of our offense,” sophomore guard Sean Welsh said.

Cyclones have gone over 200 yards.

For Iowa State, establishing the run will also be crucial to keeping Oklahoma’s offense off the field. The Sooners are averaging 60 points in their

last three games.

“With Mike in the backfield running the way he’s running, and then Joel adding that extra threat, I think it really adds a lot of diversity,” Campos said.

Kenseth loses final appeal of NASCAR suspension CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — His appeals rejected, Matt Kenseth defiantly vowed Thursday to race as he always has and accused NASCAR of “unfairly” making an example out of him with a two-race suspension for intentionally wrecking Joey Logano over the weekend at Martinsville.

Kenseth will miss the next two races, at Texas and Phoenix, and is eligible to return for the Nov. 22 season finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway. The national motorsports appeals panel denied Kenseth’s appeal Thursday and a few hours later so did final appeals

Five runs crossed the plate for the Royals in the 12th, and Wade Davis to closed it out on the mound for Kansas City. He threw a called third strike past Wilmer Flores to end it and tossed his glove high in the air as the Royals rushed toward the mound to celebrate.

Man, oh, man, the Royals celebrated. Their fans celebrated. I called my dad, my sister Sunday night and celebrated. My nephew called — we celebrated.

It was fun to watch Royals manager Ned Yost welcome Perez’s final Gatoraide bath right there on the Mets’ Citi Field. I remember being sprayed with champagne by Frank

officer Bryan Moss, who did reduce Kenseth’s probation from six months until the end of this year.

Kenseth said he was “unfairly made the example” because NASCAR had no clear rule on what the penalties are for intentionally wrecking another driver in an act of retaliation.

“I am not going to change who I am, I’m not going to change what I stand for, I’m not going to change how I race,” Kenseth said. “I’ve been in this business a long time, I feel I’ve had a pretty good career to this point and I feel like I’m going to continue to have

White at Royals Stadium in 1985 while I was covering that victory.

What a rush! I’ve seen the Royals play in four World Series since 1980.

They are 2-2. Not bad for a team, which has never had many “star” players throughout its history.

In the 1980s, it was George Brett. Now, we have Salvy, Alex, Eric, Moose (Mike Moustakas) and the Gang. Way to go Royals and thanks for the hangover.

One quick note — through the blue haze, I heard the news of American Pharoah, the 2015 Triple Crown champion, winning the $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic by 6.5 lengths Saturday in Lexington, Ky. The 3-year-old colt ran 1 1/4 miles in a track-record 2:00.07. Jockey Victor Espinoza rode American Pharoah to a victory in the horse’s final career race.

the respect on the race track that I feel I deserve.”

NASCAR has not been consistent over the years in punishing drivers who exact revenge.

Kenseth was spun out three races ago by Logano as both raced for the win at Kansas, ruining a chance to advance in NASCAR’s championship playoffs. On Sunday, he deliberately crashed into Logano at Martinsville and Logano lost a shot at an automatic berth in the final four.

Danica Patrick was fined $50,000 for wrecking another driver in retaliation on Sunday, but it was Kenseth’s penalty that raised eyebrows.

Bengals remain perfect with win over Browns CINCINNATI (AP) — Three touchdown catches on three different routes.

Tight end Tyler Eifert got a lot of attention with his latest impressive game.

So did the rest of his team.

Eifert caught three touchdown passes from Andy Dalton on Thursday night, leading the unbeaten Bengals to a 31-10 victory over the Johnny Manziel and the Cleveland Browns that put Cincinnati in totally new territory.

The Bengals are 8-0 for the first time. The eight straight wins are a club record for one season. And they’re in control of the AFC North at the season’s midpoint.

For the Browns (2-7), it’s become monotonous.

They’ve lost six of seven and can’t even get out of their own way at pivotal times.

“Our mistakes just caught up to us,” coach Mike Pettine said.

Dalton made hardly any

of those in a game that had special significance.

Last year, he also faced the Browns at Paul Brown Stadium on Thursday night and had his worst game, throwing three interceptions and finishing with a passer rating of 2.0.

This time, he was nearly flawless. Dalton went 21 of 27 for 234 yards with a passer rating of 139.8. When he arrived for his postgame interview, he didn’t even wait for the first question.

The quarterback also played lead blocker on Mohamed Sanu’s 25-yard reverse for a touchdown, although the play worked so well that there was nobody for him to touch.

By contrast, Manziel managed only one good half. He led the Browns on a 92-yard touchdown drive — their longest since 2013 — just before halftime, cutting the lead to 14-10. In the second half, the Browns managed only 32 yards and two first downs.

Unfortunately, many must journey far in life for the feeling of acceptance and love while others are born into emotional bounty. The quest will be highlighted today. Mercury in Scorpio and Neptune in Pisces form a water sign trine to bring spiritual connection, soulful creativity and luck to the realm of romance.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 6). Inspiration strikes this month. All you have to do is relax and listen to others with an open mind, and perfect solutions will come. In December you’ll fulfill someone else’s needs while trying to fulfill your own. The new year

it’s still a fine time for cultivating new hobbies.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You need a bigger team. This is the bottom line, the top line, and everything in between today. Get more people. You support so many! You deserve your own cheering section, too.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Your fantasy life is rich now, but instead of planning your escape to a paradise island, use the augmented powers of imagination that are currently available to you to see some magic and wonder in your current scene.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

There’s something you used to love, follow or ritualize that no

longer seems to have a natural place in your life. It happens.

You’re different, it’s different -- things change. This is a good day for moving on.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Your mind will drift to things you said and did long ago. For better or worse, these things cannot be changed. When a loved one needs you in the moment, you’ll snap right back to the now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Venture out alone and you’ll succeed. Listen up and you’ll hear the powerful and knowing voice of your own instinct.

There’s another voice around you now, as misguided as it is prolific. Block that one out.

403 West 4th St N. Newton, IA

Apply online today at www.caleris.com to interview and find out more!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll get more than one chance to make a deal, though you should know that it is more favorable to act on the first one. Fresh enthusiasm will create momentum.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Relationships are your gold. You’re like an artist creating a masterpiece of personal connection. Tonight, new ideas will pop over your head like bubbles in a glass of champagne.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). In those moments when you feel lost, try to remember that even the most confident people are not certain all of the time. Pause for a breath. It won’t be long before you real-

ize that you know more than you thought.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You expect something else from life than others are hoping for -- nothing better, just different. Regardless of these differences, your interests will coincide nicely with the interests of those around you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Only time will tell whether today’s move will bring you closer to the goal, but it won’t matter. Either you believed in it or you didn’t. You won’t do anything until you’re absolutely sure you can stand behind it.
