League to host human trafficking presentation Thursday

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack, right, was briefed by Jack DeAngelo of the Sully Telephone Company on Friday in Sully.

DeAngelo talked about the funding and fair-rules legislative moves that could aid broadband and other communications providers in rural parts of Iowa.

Loebsack hears about rural telecom challenges

Visit to Sully shows Congressman obstacles facing smaller co-ops

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News SULLY — When U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack came to the Sully Telephone Company on Friday, there were no obvious signs of the challenges facing Internet, landline and wireless service providers in rural Iowa. All the equipment seemed to be humming and running properly.

That’s one of the difficulties with phone lines and other rural communication technology; its functioning problems aren’t always as obvious as a downed telephone pole. There are many behind-the-scenes funding, hardware and regulatory issues, and Loebsack stopped in Sully on Friday as part of his tour to discuss those types of challenges with Sully Telephone Manager Jack DeAngelo.

One of the challenges is getting USF funding evenly distributed to all of the smaller com-

panies and co-ops — ones with small numbers in staff, without the funding-advocate resources of larger companies. The Universal Service Fund is a system of telecommunications subsidies and fees managed by the FCC, intended to promote universal access to telecommunications services through four main types of funds.

DeAngelo walked Loebsack through many aspects of what hardware is used in the Sully area for communications and how the system operates. He also said the “little guy” needs help in making sure there is more than scraps and bones left when it comes to appropriations.

“In one area of funding, $52 million goes to only four companies,” DeAngelo said.

DeAngelo has been in the communications business since the 1970s, mainly with GTE and Iowa Telecom, and the Sully Telephone Company has been

around since 1904. The current location, along the east side of the town square, was established in 1985, and DeAngelo gave Loebsack a brief tour of the building.

The stop was part of Loebsack’s “Rural Spectrum & Roundtable Tour” and included Iowa Communications Alliance CEO Dave Duncan of Urbandale. The tour included scheduled stops last week in Hills, Mediapolis, West Liberty, Davenport and Eldridge.

Loebsack has signed on as the first co-sponsor of the Congressional bill H.R. 3103, also known as the Rural Spectrum Accessibility Act of 2015. The bill was introduced in July and recently referred to the Communications and Technology Subcommittee of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, where Loebsack is a member. The subcommittee has jurisdiction over broadband issues.

Human trafficking, according to United States Department of State, is the act of recruiting, h a r boring, transpor ting, providing or obtaining a person through Ferjack the use of force, fraud or coercion. Twothirds of profits are generated by commercial sexual exploitation and the other third is generated by forced labor exploitation. More than 80 percent are women.

It’s one of the world’s fastest growing organized criminal activities, generating $9.5 billion per year in the United States, according to the National Human Trafficking Resource Center.

Many local leaders and community members want to increase awareness on the issue that doesn’t just occurring in metropolis areas.

The Jasper County League of Women Voters will host a presentation on human trafficking awareness at its next meeting. The presentation will be given by Michael Ferjack, director and senior criminal investigator of the Iowa Department of Justice Human Trafficking Enforcement and Prosecution. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday in the Garden Room at Park

Centre, in Newton.

This event is free and open to the public.

The League of Women Voters is a national and nonpartisan political organization with three goals: encourage active legislative participation by citizens; increase understanding of major public policy issues; and influence public policy through education and advocacy.

Each year the organization takes on both national and local issues such as mental health care, voting rights and water pollution. Local members feel it’s time to address the issue of human trafficking.

“League is hosting this event because human trafficking is an increasing problem in our state and has been one of our legislative priorities. It is related to traffic on the two interstates that run throughout our state,” JCLWV member Fran Henderson said.

Now is a good time to start the dialogue on local human trafficking.

Although California, Texas, Florida and New York have the most cases of human trafficking, it is occurring in Iowa as well. Nineteen cases were reported in Iowa from January to June 2015.

The most recent case involved Internet coercion to solicit sex acts, which were to take place at an Osceola hotel. Law enforcement officials made six arrests in the sting operation resulting in multiple charges.

Through the park for vets Lynnville OKs domestic

chickens ordinance

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News A new organization called Veterans of Jasper County held a “ruck march” Saturday, starting and ending at American Legion Post 111 and winding through Maytag Park and the Children’s Forest. Carrying the POW-MIA flag was march organizer Jenna Hancock; carrying the American flag was Rick Seelbinder.

LYNNVILLE — At its recent meeting, the Lynnville City Council approved domestic chickens to reside within city limits. The approval is limited to only female chickens, or hens, and all other fowls currently barred from the city will continue at that status.

The council set additional limitations that the domestic chickens should be kept within the boundaries of the person’s property to prevent the animal from being at-large and if the animal does become at-large it will be in violation of the ordinance and can be disposed of by the

land or more can have the animals in town. The Newton code also states that no stabling, grazing or tethering area for such livestock is to be located closer than 100 feet from any residential dwelling on a neighboring property.

“We have had no issues with chicken cases that I am aware of,” Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess said.

Burdess also said there are no requirements on registering any domestic chickens through the department, similarly to dogs or cats.

The property is also to be maintained daily to prevent the accumulation of waste and offensive odors. Finally, in the event that an avian influenza outbreak would occur in Lynnville, all domestic chickens or other fowl will be euthanized and property disposed of due to the risk of the public’s health.

The ordinance was subject to three readings, first appearing on the agenda in September.

Newton City Administrator Bob Knabel said domestic chickens are allowed within city limits with certain limitations. Only property owners with one acre of

Retail gets slammed in worst week for stocks since August NEW YORK (AP) — Retailers are plunging Friday as earnings reports from Nordstrom and others touched off investor worries that the holiday shopping season will be a dud. Stocks are slumping to a big weekly loss, their worst since August, after six straight weeks of gains. The price of oil continued to fall.

IN THE RED: The Dow Jones industrial average fell 201 points, or 1.2 percent, to 17,247 as of 3:23 p.m. Eastern.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index gave up 23 points, or 1.1 percent, to 2,022. The Nasdaq composite index slipped

72 points, or 1.4 percent, to 4,932.

RETAIL WOES: Retailers ranging from department stores to dollar stores dropped after Nordstrom reported disappointing third-quarter results and cuts its outlook for the year. Competitor Macy’s also posted weak results and lowered its guidance this week, and both stocks hit two-year lows on Friday.

Nordstrom sank $10.50, or 16.5 percent, to $52.97. J.C. Penney’s results were about equal to analyst projections, but its stock lost $1.50, or 17.1 percent, to $7.29.

HOLIDAY WORRIES: Investors took the reports as a warning sign about the holiday shopping season, which will kick into high gear with Black Friday in two weeks. Video game retailer GameStop sank $6.63, or 14.9 percent, to $37.90. Watchmaker Fossil Group plunged $17.71, or 34.7 percent, to $33.30. Fossil posted disappointing earnings Thursday afternoon and also said it will buy activity tracker maker Misfit for $260 million.

Its shares hit their lowest price in five years.

DON’T CRY IN YOUR EGG NOG: Stifel Nicolaus

analyst Richard Jaffe suggested the steep drop in retail stocks was an overreaction.

Shoppers will spend plenty of money this holiday season, he said, and while they’re spending more money on smartphones and TVs and other big items than they used to, there will still be plenty of socks and sweaters given as gifts over the holidays.

“Christmas is boxed gifts,” Jaffe said. “There will be a lot of gift giving, a lot of apparel sales.”

Jaffe noted that Americans’ shopping habits have changed a lot over the last few years.

Consumers are making spending more on homes, cars, and vacations. Aging baby boomers don’t buy clothes as often as they used to, and younger shoppers are more interested in technology.

WEAK SPENDING: U.S. retail spending edged up just 0.1 percent in October, a bit less than analysts expected. Prices charged by farmers, manufacturers and other producers fell in October. Both measurements show there is little sign of inflation in the U.S. economy. When inflation is higher, consumers have an incentive to spend more money.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Several decorative installations were donated by Sign Pro to help bring the holiday spirit to buildings that are currently vacant in the downtown area.

Sign Pro donates to downtown decorations

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Those who have recently taken a stroll in downtown Newton may have noticed the added decorations on vacant store fronts. Local business Sign Pro, along with Newton Main Street, is responsible for bringing the festive holiday look to otherwise empty buildings.

“They are trying to make things a little more festive and do some things with the empty buildings,” Sign Pro owner Matt Michener said.

Michener was approached by Newton Main Street to be part of the project and decided to donate the time and materials to make it happen. Michener said Sign Pro came up with the designs for the windows, which are located on the southwest corner of First Avenue and Second Street, the former Speakeasy and former Pappy’s Antique Mall.

The three windows on the

southwest corner of First Avenue and Second Street show a snowman in a winter scene that says “Happy Holidays Newton” and snowflakes and winter trees with red bird accents and joy across the window. The former Speakeasy has several large Christmas bulbs hanging down and the former Pappy’s building shows the three wise men on their journey following the star.

“Pappy’s has the nativity scene in the window, so that’s why we decorated that one that way,” Michener said.

The decorations, which went up the beginning of November, are a part of a larger project with the Greater Newton Chamber of Commerce to get ready for the annual courthouse lighting and lighted holiday festival, Newton Main Street Executive Director Andrew Bassman said.

“We thought it would be a good idea because there are some high visibility buildings that are vacant,” Bassman said.

He said the idea started with

putting the plans for the streetscape master plan in the former Pappy’s building and plans to continue the idea through the year in different areas of the downtown.

“We want to continue the idea in places that have more pedestrian traffic. Other places that are less aesthetically pleasing or have more auto traffic would be a good place for temporary art installation,” Bassman said.

Bassman said Main Street has been in contact with various groups in the community to bring their talents to the downtown project. The installations will be temporary and change depending on the time of year and what is appropriate.

“It’s something the community should look forward to,” Bassman said.

DAILY NEWS Where to go when you need to know

Report offers road map to improve employee wellness DES MOINES — The Iowa Hospital Association and Iowa Business Council have partnered to produce a new report designed to help businesses, health care providers and employees work better together to improve health and control health care costs.

Using case studies from 19 large Iowa employers, “Partners for Health: How Iowa Businesses, Health Care Providers and Employees are Collaborating to Create Value” offers real-world, specific examples of successful programs Wells Iowa businesses have implemented to engage employees in their health and improve individual and organizational wellness. Sectors represented in the report include manufacturing, retail, health care, education and energy.

“Iowa businesses are deeply invested in the health of their employees,” said Michael Wells, chair of the IBC Board and president and CEO of Wells Enterprises in Le Mars. “But we realize we must do more than provide health care coverage. We must engage employees in their health, incent and support good habits and work with health care providers. These case studies show collaboration is crucial.”

“We applaud Iowa businesses that have joined with their employees and health care providers to ensure good health,” said Marie Knedler, chair of the IHA Board and president of CHI Health Mercy Council Bluffs. “We know in the health system that coordination of care is necessary for successful outcomes. We also realize that coordination not only involves providers, but our patients and their employers working together toward prevention and wellness. That is how value is cultivated in health care.”

The Rural Spectrum Accessibility Act, authored by Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Illinois), calls for incentives for wireless carriers to lease unused spectrum to rural or smaller carriers in order to expand wireless coverage in rural areas.

Loebsack agreed in principle with DeAngelo that the USF would need some work so that smaller-rural providers can share the pie of funding more evenly.

“The USF definitely needs to be reformed,” Loebsack told DeAngelo. “I’ll look into that.”

Victims are usually taken across state lines and often times international borders.

“Traffickers utilize major interstates and highways for transporting victims to prospective buyers. With Interstate 80 and Interstate 35 going through Iowa, it is a certainty that victims are being victimized in Iowa communities. By bringing

human trafficking awareness and education to our communities, citizens will know what to watch for and how to notify the appropriate authorities,” Newton Police Department Lt. Wes Breckenridge said.

Breckenridge was contacted by Linda Pierce and Lynn Keller about human trafficking and was able to bring Ferjack to Newton to speak.

“Ferjak not only has a great deal of knowledge, but access to state and

federal resources to assist communities. Today, the community action committee known as “Newton Says ‘No’ to Human Trafficking” is working diligently to bring awareness to community members and aid victims,” Breckenridge said. “We are privileged to have Ferjak share his knowledge and expertise on human trafficking with community members. His knowledge will aid community members in knowing what to watch for and how to respond.”

In addition to education and discussion, another need is recognizing suspicious behavior in the community. Law enforcement asks the public to report any suspicious activity.

From tragedy to triumph

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Nov. 16, 2015

Editor’s Note: This column originally published Nov. 17, 2014.

A 9-year-old girl with no bed.

A mother evicted following the sudden death of her husband.

A family displaced after a bed bug infestation.

A 61-year-old man living in his car.

A young man, homeless and on the streets in Newton.

It’s hard to consider the realities of these situations, but they are occurring with regularity in our community. The recently organized Friends of Hope group is finding solutions for people in need and has emerged as a bright spot for a growing number of people facing homelessness and other

crises.

Operating under the umbrella of the Salvation Army, the group of volunteers looks to help those who may not be utilizing existing programs, or don’t have access to those resources. The idea is to offer hope and encouragement to people who have found themselves in a bind.

I was pleased again to hear more about this group’s effort last week during a presentation in which volunteer Rita Baker outlined the simple mission — help people in need — and also gave an important objective.

“We are not to judge other people for their choices. We all have a different story.”

That statement clearly defined for me what Friends in Hope is about. Despite how

any of these people in need wound up in any of these given situations, the bottom line is they are people in need. This group is about offering a helping hand.

Functioning with a pool of volunteer mentors, Friends in Hope offers to help with everything from housing and home furnishing needs to food and clothing. They’ve partnered with the Goodwill Career Center at DMACC for those struggling to find employment.

For other needs — transportation and child care, among others — a call for help goes out, oftentimes on its Facebook page.

Baker said there has been times in her life when she’s had a lot, and times when she had a little. Never did she have to worry about whether there was

enough to eat or a roof over her head.

That’s probably true for a lot of us.

It hit home for me. It also reminded me that if we have a gift to share with others — time, food, clothing or just an open ear — perhaps we should be sharing that gift.

I’m not sure what I have to offer to people in need in this community, but I’m going to find out. Sometimes all it takes to turn your life around is to know that someone cares. That’s when tragedy turns into triumph.

Letters to the Editor

Good discussion on mental health Michael C. Thielmann Newton The Newton Daily News and Newton Police Department deserve a lot of credit for organizing the discussion of mental health issues at city hall on Nov.

Veterans need support at the statehouse Doug Bishop Baxter Those who know me best understand my passion for veterans and issues that affect veterans.

Nov. 11, Veterans Day, is one of the highlights of my year. It is a day that veterans can place politics aside and rest in the fact that they get their own day to be recognized. That is why I had to take a second look when I saw the letter to the editor from Rep. Dan Kelley.

His letter asked us to honor our veterans and their continued service and sacrifice. Not only on Veterans Day, but every day.

I couldn’t agree more. Unfortunately, my mind went back to

10. The good turnout indicates a lot of community interest.

I am hoping that a future discussion will include some of the questions not addressed at the forum. Questions such as — are Iowa’s outpatient commitment laws just? Is it a human rights violation to drug mental patients against their will? What are some of the

problems with psychiatric drugs?

How scientific is the discipline of psychiatry? Do pharmaceutical manufacturers influence the educational process for psychiatrists to an undesirable degree? Is the medical model always appropriate? Can outpatient commitment be more oppressive than institutionalization?

last year’s Veterans Trust Fund bill and Rep. Kelley’s no vote on the bill. The bill provided funding for the least fortunate veterans among us. I did not, and still do not, agree with Rep. Kelley’s vote against the vets. But, the past is the past, and I have moved on. Everybody deserves a second chance.

Since Wes Breckenridge announced he will be seeking the Iowa House seat held by Dan, I have noticed a newfound interest and participation in veterans events by Mr. Kelley. That is good. He attended a veteran’s medal ceremony for the first time and has now written the letter to the editor. That’s a good start.

Where we really need him to support us is in the statehouse.

Generations of veterans have listened to politicians state, “we

support you” only to have them vote against the same veterans when given the chance. It is time for that to stop. Iowa veterans need advocates on the hill.

When the vote was taken on the Veterans Trust Fund bill, the final tally was 144-5. Dan Kelley was one of the five that voted no. I believe his vote should have been yes. Writing a letter of support on Veterans Day is easy. We need someone to carry the heavy load for vets at the capitol. We need tireless advocates. Most importantly, we need representatives who will vote yes for the neediest among us when given the opportunity.

Veterans are tired of the same old lip service stating “I support you.” Will Dan Kelley now be that representative? I hope so.

Only time will tell.

wouldn’t. The taxpayers would just flee: “I know these people! They’re international people!

Whether they live here or in a place like Switzerland, it doesn’t really matter to them!”

Perfect TV sound bite.

And accurate. Maryland’s tax on the rich brought in less revenue.

When Trump makes billions by giving people things they want in voluntary exchanges — via casinos or real estate or the chance to watch him “fire” people on TV shows — I applaud him. Free trade is mutually beneficial. Everybody wins.

That’s why it’s appalling when Trump calls trade agreements a “disaster” and says he’d “punish” Mexico with higher tariffs (tariffs really punish Americans).

And it’s appalling when Trump uses connections with government to take things from others.

I confronted him about that once.

In Atlantic City, an elderly woman named Vera Coking owned a home near Trump’s casino. Trump wanted to take down her house so he could expand his casino parking lot.

People had offered to buy Vera’s house, but she said no. In America, property rights mean you get to tell people, “You can’t use my things without my permission.”

But Trump wouldn’t take no for an answer. He got some New Jersey politicians to grant him the right to take Vera’s house.

Politicians can do that under a law called “eminent domain.” Trump recently called eminent domain “wonderful!”

Eminent domain can be wonderful if it’s put to important public use, say,

claiming land for highways, railroads or a pipeline. But Trump got New Jersey pols to use it so he’d have a better space for limousines to park.

Also, under eminent domain, the state is supposed to pay the property owner “just compensation.” But Vera had turned down a million-dollar offer. Instead of raising the bid, Trump got politicians to force Vera to sell for even less. Trump would have to pay just $251,000, a fourth what she’d been offered.

That made Trump a manipulative bully. So I told him that.

“In the old days, developers came in with thugs with clubs. Now you use lawyers!”

“Excuse me! Other people maybe use thugs today. I don’t!” was Trump’s angry answer.

“For you to use the word ‘bully,’ John, is very unfair. ... It’s a pretty sick assumption, and I think it’s pretty jaded for you to make it.”

Vintage Trump.

He is right. I’m pretty jaded. Watching big shots violate people’s property rights tends to do that.

Fortunately, after a long legal battle, an appeals court ruled that Trump could not take Vera’s property. That worked best for everyone since it turned out that Trump didn’t need a bigger parking lot. Trump and New Jersey pols hadn’t predicted the future. His casino, like others in Atlantic City, went bankrupt.

Bankruptcy happens in business all the time, and only investors lose. But when business “partners” with government, innocent people get trampled.

Trump also tried to use his “get politicians to grab someone’s land” scheme in Bridgeport, Connecticut, where he promised a “world-class” development that never happened.

This is “a powerful, politically influential person using his power to steal, essentially, somebody else’s private property for his own private profit,” says Tim Sandefur of the Pacific Legal Foundation.

But Trump said that his development might bring the city extra tax money, making it “public” use.

Husband working at strip club gets dressing-down from wife DEAR ABBY: My husband works as a bouncer at a strip club. I was OK with it at first, but then he started making friends with the dancers and waitresses. They exchange phone numbers, and he talks to some of them late at night when I’m sleeping. I get upset and jealous that these women are getting his time. It causes fights. What should I do? — WIFE OF A TEXAS BOUNCER DEAR WIFE: Is your husband placing these calls, or are the women calling him? Tell him you feel they are a threat to your marriage and ask why the calls happen after you have gone to bed.

It’s possible the conversations are innocent. The women may relate to him because his job makes them feel “safe” with him. Many co-workers converse after work. Because a woman works in a strip club doesn’t mean she’s a predator.

However, because the timing of these calls bothers you, ask him if he would have them call before work rather than afterward when you would like him in bed with you.

DEAR ABBY: I host holiday dinners and always invite my husband’s side of the family as well as mine. Each time, my brother’s wife, “Arlene,” asks if my husband’s family will be there, and says if they are, they won’t attend. They are the only ones who don’t show up; all the rest of my family does.

When I asked Arlene if she has a problem with my husband’s side of the family, she said no, she just feels we don’t pay as much attention to her when there is “so much family.”

I have tried having separate dinners, but as the years have passed, it has gotten harder to cook two Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter dinners on separate days. After 30 years of this, I’m tired of having my

feelings hurt and trying to please my brother and his wife. How am I supposed to respond when she texts me telling me that if it’s just our family they’ll attend? — TIRED OF IT IN IOWA DEAR TIRED: You are too kind.

I wish you had asked this question 30 years ago because, if you had, I could have spared you a lot of grief. The next time your self-centered sisterin-law pulls that stunt, send her a text saying, “Sorry you can’t make it. We’ll miss you!” Then add a smiling emoji.

DEAR ABBY: My daughter sent out save-the-date cards for her wedding next year. Many of our family members live out of state and abroad.

Save-the-date cards were also sent to my co-workers. When the wedding happens, I will have been gone from that company for three months.

Does sending the card obligate us to invite people who will then be my former co-workers? — UNSURE IN FORT LAUDERDALE DEAR UNSURE: Yes. If you don’t send an invitation or an explanation, your former co-workers may feel they were asked to save the date not because they were considered friends, but that it was a bid for more gifts for your daughter. And they wouldn’t be wrong.

2 people killed when cars collided in Des Moines DES MOINES — Police say two people have been killed and another has been injured in a Des Moines traffic accident.

The collision occurred on the 3700 block of Hubbell Avenue around 6:10 p.m. Sunday. Police Sgt. Paul Parizek said in a news release Monday that 53-year-old Deanna Gliem was driving south on Hubbell when her vehicle struck a vehicle that was entering southbound Hubbell from East 37th Street. Both people in the other car were killed.

SIOUX CITY — Sioux City officials are preparing to vote on a pledge for the city to provide $2 million and 12 acres for an agriculture exposition and learning center near the former site of a food manufacturing facility. The city council will be asked Monday to vote on the pledge, which will be contingent on a $1 million pledge from Missouri River Historical Development and a $2 million pledge from Woodbury County. The city would take $200,000 annually for 10 years from the capital improvement plan budget.

I-29 construction this winter

SIOUX CITY — Construction work will continue on Interstate 29 in the Sioux City area through winter, so drivers won’t get much of a break this year. The seven-year widening project is reaching one of its most-complicated stages. So even as this year’s work wraps up, new projects will be getting started. Iowa Department of Transportation’s Dakin Schultz says seven bridges will be replaced during the next phase.

Iowa district plans to leave

FARRAGUT — The Farragut Community School District will have to find a new superintendent if it manages to survive this week’s State Board of Education meeting.

The board is expected to act Wednesday on a proposal to dissolve the western Iowa district. A report given to the state board in October indicated that enrollment is down 28 students from last year’s 167 students. The district also has been exceeded its spending authority.

Officers take man into custody, ending standoff WATERLOO — A man has been taken to a hospital after a standoff with officers at his Waterloo home. Police were sent to the home a little before 6:30 p.m. Sunday to check on a man who’d made threats. Some neighboring homes were evacuated and the street was blocked off as officers tried unsuccessfully to talk the man into coming out. Officers used tear gas as a team entered the home around midnight and detained the man.

No injuries in I-80 wreck

Service providers fear fee cuts under Medicaid privatization DES MOINES (AP) — The state government’s plan to privatize Medicaid services includes a new payment system that organizations helping people with physical, mental or developmental disabilities say cuts their reimbursements enough that it could force smaller organizations to close and leave people they serve scrambling to find needed services.

The providers include mental health centers and organi-

zations that serve the most vulnerable adults and children in Iowa who rely on Medicaid for treatment, assisted living, behavioral programming and improving day-to-day living skills. These services are often used by people with brain injuries or those born with physical or intellectual disabilities.

“We figure we’ll lose somewhere in the neighborhood of $150,000,” said Pete Brantner, executive director of Crossroads

Behavioral Health Services, a community mental health center serving six counties in southwest Iowa for nearly 40 years. That’s 7.5 percent of his annual budget of just over $2 million.

“If we can’t backfill any of this and we’re running at losses, the extreme sort of thing would be that we may not be in businesses,” he said.

About 60 percent of the Creston-based organization’s clients use Medicaid.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News An Interstate 80 wreck that initially looked like it might produce injuries Thursday didn’t lead to anyone being transported to a hospital. Jasper County Chief Deputy Sheriff Duane Rozendaal said the wreck, which happened near the Kellogg/Sully exit near mile marker 179, happened at about 4:35 p.m. and involved a car and a pickup truck, which became tangled in the median barrier. Both drivers and two passengers in the car all refused medical treatment. Traffic was reduced to one lane for about 45 minutes.

Special speaker

Davenport man’s sentence upheld by Iowa appeals court DAVENPORT (AP) — The Iowa Court of Appeals has upheld the six-month jail sentence of a Davenport man who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge in the 2013 death of his brotherin-law.

The appeals court found Thursday that Joseph Van Hecke, 53, failed to show that a lower court did not consider all relevant factors, or considered improper factors, in handing down his sentence on March 10.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Berg Middle School students were able to complete an important phase of its anti-bullying efforts this fall when an anticipated guest speaker addressed the entire school. Kirk Smalley is a well-known anti-bullying figure and an Oklahoma father whose son committed suicide almost six years ago at age 11. His message centered on the affirmation “I am somebody” and students being kind and caring toward themselves and others.

Van Hecke pleaded guilty in January to a single count of assault causing injury, a serious misdemeanor, in the death of Douglas Whalen, 45, of Davenport.

Police have said Van Hecke and Whalen got into a fight during a June 13, 2013, vow renewal for Van Hecke and his wife, who is Whalen’s sister, at a Davenport park. Whalen fell and struck his head after Van Hecke hit him.

Van Hecke’s attorney has said Van Hecke was

justified in hitting Whalen, whose blood-alcohol level was nearly three times the legal limit for driving when he picked up Van Hecke’s son in a bear hug, leading to the fight.

More than a week before the ruling, Van Hecke filed a motion to withdraw his $5,000 appeal bond that was posted immediately after he was sentenced. Online jail records show Van Hecke was booked into the Scott County Jail on Nov. 5 to begin serving his sentence.

Newton YMCA to host open house Tuesday Facility acquires new Cybex, Precor fitness equipment Newton Daily News

Submitted Photo Newton YMCA member and board president Doug Ringger works out on one of the new elliptical machines at the Newton YMCA.

It’s out with the old and in with the new at the Newton YMCA this fall. The Newton YMCA has acquired 30 new pieces of state-of-the-art cardio and strength training equipment and is planning a community open house from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Tuesday to showcase its new cardio and strength training studios.

The event will include tours, food and a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new equipment at 5:15 p.m.

“A lot of improvements have been made over the past few years and we’re excited now to offer our members brand new Cybex and Precor fitness equipment that is among the best in the industry,” CEO Frank Buckley said.

In all, the new equipment includes: 11 treadmills, three arc trainers, two upright bikes, two recumbent bikes, 10 Eagle strength stations, a Bravo functional trainer, five

elliptical machines, a Prestige fly and rear delt machine and a Prestige dip and chin-up assist machine.

The new equipment began arriving in late October with the final installation taking place earlier this month. Already members are making extensive use of the equipment.

“I found that it was an easy transition from the old machines to the new,” Newton YMCA member Bruce Hoffmeier said. “Each of the machines work different core muscles with an adjustable degree of difficulty for each participant. A really great upgrade for the Y.” The new strength pieces offer a wider variety of motion and greater fitness options for Y patrons.

“Instead of it being in a fixed path or movement pattern we can actually do a free range of motion on the machines,” Fitness Coordinator Thomas Hlad said. “And you can do unilateral movement,

so say you have a weaker side, you can work on just one side at a time.”

Likewise, the new cardio equipment also offers more options, including an increased range of programs to target specific workout needs.

The arc trainers, for example, offer strength, shaping and toning programs.

“The toning program will tell you where you want to tone. Once you go into the program, it will adjust your incline or ramp so you’re working on just your hamstrings or glutes,” Hlad said.

“There’s basically something for everybody.”

Community members can check out the new equipment up close and personal on Tuesday. In the meantime, anyone is welcome to stop by the YMCA any time for a tour and to see the new studios.

The Newton YMCA is a nonprofit organization committed to strengthening our community through youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.

Iowa holds off Minnesota to secure 10-0 mark IOWA CITY (AP) — LeShun Daniels rushed for a career-high 195 yards and three touchdowns and No. 8 Iowa held off Minnesota 40-35 on Saturday night to start 10-0 for the first time in school history.

C.J. Beathard threw for 213 yards and ran for two touchdowns for the Hawkeyes (10-0, 6-0 Big Ten, No. 5 CFP).

Iowa can clinch the Big Ten West and a spot in the league title game with a win over Purdue next week.

Gophers running back Shannon Brooks threw a 42-yard touchdown pass to Drew Wolitarsky and ran one in from 3 yards out in the final 5:32.

But Daniels scored from 51 yards out with 2:01 left, and Minnesota’s onside kick with 1:16 to go squirted out of bounds.

Mitch Leidner had 259 yards passing and a touchdown for Minnesota (4-6, 1-5), losers of four straight. The Gophers were playing for the first time since Tracy Claeys was named the permanent head coach Wednesday.

Iowa last opened a season 9-0 six years ago. But quarterback Ricky Stanzi sprained his ankle and the Hawkeyes lost at home against Northwestern, ruining their national title hopes.

The Hawkeyes are still alive in 2015 after surviving quite the scare from Minnesota.

But every time the Gophers got close, Daniels, Beathard and the Hawkeyes pushed them back.

Rodrick Williams’ 1-yard run made it a six-point game late in the third quarter. But Beathard answered by finding Tevaun Smith for 29 yards on third down to set up his 1-yard touchdown plunge.

It gave Iowa a 33-21 lead — marking the first time it had ever scored more than 30 points in four straight

Big Ten games.

Brooks’ touchdown pass caught the Hawkeyes defense flat-footed. Daniels made up for it though, slicing through the Minnesota front for the longest run of his career.

The Gophers then marched 75 yards in 45 seconds to score — but Ryan Santoso shot his onside-kick attempt out of bounds.

KJ Maye caught seven passes for 106 yards for Minnesota.

Beathard had been battling an undisclosed hip/groin injury for a month.

But he looked perfectly healthy on a 1-yard naked bootleg that put Iowa in front 14-7 early in the second half.

Leidner matched Beathard again though, with a 40-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Lingen.

Up 17-14 late in the first half, Beathard beat about half the defense on a 26-yard run that set up Daniels for a 2-yard touchdown run that put Iowa up 24-14 at the break.

The Hawkeyes nearly let that lead slip away.

But they made just enough plays to preserve their best start — and more importantly, their playoff hopes.

Oklahoma State rallies to get past Iowa State

Darren Miller/University of Iowa Athletics Iowa’s Thomas Gilman, left, goes in for a shot against Oklahoma State’s Eddie Klimara during the 125-pound bout at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday. Gilman defeated Klimara 9-1, and the third-ranked Hawkeyes defeated the top-ranked Cowboys, 18-16, in front of a national-record 42,287 fans. It was the first meet held in a Division I football stadium.

Hawkeyes beat top-ranked Cowboys Iowa shatters NCAA outdoor attendance in Grapple on the Gridiron IOWA CITY (AP) — The wrestlers entered cavernous Kinnick Stadium in jackets and stocking caps, marching through pyrotechnics as the AC/DC song “Back in Black” blared through the loudspeakers.

The Iowa wrestling team beat top-ranked Oklahoma State 1816 on Saturday, shattering the NCAA attendance record in front of 42,287 fans at the first meet held in a Division I football stadium.

Penn State set the previous mark of 15,996 in 2013.The boisterous crowd at Iowa is believed to be the biggest ever to see a wrestling match in the U.S. Hawkeyes coach Tom Brands said the event will resonate internationally for a sport still just three years removed from briefly losing its Olympic status.

“It’s great for wrestling. There

are people in Russia, in Turkey and Iran that are going to see this as well,” said Brands, a gold medalist at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics. “They know about this. This is the city Dan Gable lives in.”

Gable won Olympic gold in 1972 before coaching at Iowa for 21 years — winning 15 NCAA team titles with the Hawkeyes.

The idea of hosting a wrestling match at the 70,000-seat Kinnick Stadium had been kicked around for nearly a decade. But when Penn State broke Iowa’s single-match attendance record, Brands quipped “we’re going to Kinnick.”

Iowa had a special mat marked with football yard lines placed in the south end zone at Kinnick.

The crowd filled the end zone seats and stretched some 80 yards to the opposing 20-yard line.

Iowa also streamed the event on

its massive scoreboards for the many fans that could barely see it live.

Concerns about adverse conditions never came to pass, as sunny skies and temperatures in the low 50s greeted athletes, who said they were impressed by the atmosphere.

“That fire was hot,” said Iowa wrestler Sammy Brooks, who flexed his biceps to the crowd after winning his match. “I tried to stay relaxed and focused on the things that I need to do. But it’s hard when there are 42,000 screaming fans. You want to get up there with them and go nuts.”

Officials set aside special rooms in the bowels of Kinnick Stadium for the wrestlers to keep warm if needed — though many of them stayed on the bench.

AMES (AP) — Oklahoma State got the victory it needed, just not the style points.

Backup quarterback J.W. Walsh threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Carr with 3:06 left Saturday, giving No. 5 Oklahoma State a 35-31 victory over Iowa State and keeping the unbeaten Cowboys in playoff contention.

Oklahoma State (100, 7-0 Big 12) trailed 24-7 and 31-21 before rallying for a victory that was short on style points but still critical.

Walsh drew the Cowboys to 31-28 with a 16-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter and OSU drove 84 yards in 11 plays for the winning score after forcing a punt.

Starter Mason Rudolph got Oklahoma State to the Iowa State 7 and Walsh, usually the team’s running quarterback, took it from there. He hit Carr with a swing pass on the left side and two blocks sprung the freshman to the end zone.

Rain-shortened race in Phoenix determines final three Chase spots AVONDALE, Ariz.

(AP) — Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch and Martin Truex Jr. advanced to the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship finale after surviving a long Sunday that ended with a rain-shortened race at Phoenix International Raceway.

The race was delayed nearly seven hours by a series of storms, forcing the penultimate race in the Chase to start under the lights at the mile oval.

More rain forced NASCAR to called it after 219 laps, with Harvick second behind winner Dale Earnhardt Jr., Busch fourth and Truex 14th. They will join Jeff Gordon next

weekend in the finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway, with the series title decided by finishing order among the four drivers.

Carl Edwards finished 12th, leaving him five points out of the final spot for the Chase finale. Joey Logano, Kurt Busch and Brad Keselowski also missed the finale.

Gordon had the only spot at Homestead locked up before the race, thanks to his win at Martinsville two weeks ago.

That left seven drivers fighting for three spots, including three sets of teammates.

No. 7 Iowa State beats Colorado SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — Steve Prohm’s Iowa State debut was a success.

Georges Niang scored 17 points, and the seventh-ranked Cyclones held off Colorado 68-62 on Friday in Prohm’s first game as coach.

Abdel Nader had 14 points and Naz Mitrou-Long scored 13 for the CyNiang clones, who held the Buffaloes to just 36.5 percent shooting.

Niang, a preseason All-American, also had a pair of assists — including an alley-oop pass to Jameel McKay that put Iowa State ahead 64-57 with 1:13 to go.

“The first game of the year, so it ain’t always going to be pretty,” Prohm said.

George King had 14 points for Colorado, which was picked seventh in the Pac-12’s preseason media poll.

King was 4-of-8 from 3-point range.

Prohm, who was 104-29 in four seasons at Murray State, replaced Fred Hoiberg in May after Hoiberg jumped to the Chicago Bulls.

Prohm promised the Cyclones would look very similar to Hoiberg’s high-scoring teams, but with an added emphasis on defense and rebounding.

Iowa State made progress on both counts in the opener.

The Cyclones allowed Colorado to hit nine 3-pointers on a litany of clear looks, but they forced 18 turnovers.

“Our guys were resilient. I thought we defended well for really long spurts,” Prohm said. “I thought we rebounded well, kept them off the glass.”

Neither team could get much

going before Iowa State scored eight straight to take a 30-25 lead. The Cyclones (1-0) really got going after the break.

Spurred on by a pro-Iowa State crowd, the Cyclones started attacking the basket and jumped ahead 40-27.

Colorado responded with an 11-0 run, but the Cyclones led the entire half.

Dominique Collier scored 13 points for the Buffaloes (0-1), and Josh Scott had 11 points and 11 rebounds.

Colorado could have made it a one-point game with 15 seconds left, but Xavier Talton missed a 3-pointer and Nader sealed it at the line.

“We played hard. The effort was there. We just made a lot of mistakes early. A lot of mistakes that cost us the game,” Collier said.

Iowa State hosts Chicago State in its home opener Monday.

Iowa State Continued from Page 1B Quarterback Joel Lanning had staked Iowa State (3-7, 2-5) to the lead, running for two touchdowns and passing for another.

Lanning and the Cyclones had two chances after Carr’s score, but gave up the ball on downs and then turned it over with an interception after getting it back.

The two teams met in a setting similar to 2011, when an unheralded Iowa State team ended No. 2 Oklahoma State’s BCS championship hopes with a victory in two overtimes.

On a pleasant, late autumn day, the Cowboys survived in this one, though for the longest time, things were looking grim for coach Mike Gundy’s team, mostly because of Lanning.

Lanning, a sophomore from nearby Ankeny, consistently ran for nice gains on read options and scrambles and did just enough with his passing to keep the Cyclones moving.

He carried 14 times for 130 yards and scored on runs of 24 and 21 yards.

The 21-yarder, on which he ran untouched to the end zone after faking a handoff, gave Iowa State a 31-21 lead late in the third quarter and fueled hopes of another upset.

It just wasn’t quite enough.

Submitted Photo by Darren Tromblay Iowa State quarterback Joel Lanning (7) runs for a big gain during first-half action against Oklahoma State at Jack Trice Stadium on Saturday. Lanning rushed for 130 yards and threw for 162 more, but the Cyclones couldn’t hold a 24-7 lead as the Cowboys rallied to stay unbeaten, winning 35-31.

Lanning also completed 11of-22 passes for 162 yards, including a 24-yarder to Allen Lazard for a touchdown in the first half, when Iowa State scored three touchdowns and kicked a field goal on its first four possessions.

What appeared to be a fourth touchdown was overturned on review and the Cyclones settled for Cole Netten’s 21-yard field goal.

Rudolph completed 24-of-36 passes for 327 yards and a touchdown — a 16-yarder to Marcell Ateman, who made a leaping

catch in the far left corner of the end zone to tie it at 7-all.

Ateman finished with career highs of eight catches and 132 yards.

Joshua Thomas’ 1-yard touchdown run put Iowa State up 24-7 early in the second quarter. Oklahoma State answered with a 16-play, 88-yard drive that Chris Carson ended with a 1-yard run to draw to 24-14 at halftime. Walsh scored from the 1-yard line to cut the lead to 24-21 midway through the third quarter, capping a 14-play, 92yard march.

Iowa men start year with two home wins IOWA CITY (AP) — Fran McCaffery knows these early season games are critical to developing a young team.

Iowa’s rotation is full of newcomers trying to show what they can do with extended playing time in blowout wins.

Brady Ellingson scored a career-high 20 points, Dom Uhl added 18 in his first career start, and Iowa rolled to a 103-68 victory over Coppin State on Sunday.

Junior-college transfer Dale Jones had 16 points for the Hawkeyes (2-0), who eclipsed the 100-point plateau for the first time in two seasons. Iowa’s bench scored 58 points and 10 different Hawkeyes scored at least five points.

Terry Harris Jr. had 16 points and 11 rebounds to lead Coppin State (0-2). Christian Kessee had 15 points and Josh Treadwell added 14.

The Hawkeyes had 31 assists on 40 field goals, made 12 3-pointers and held Coppin State to 32 percent shooting.

Iowa jumped out to a 22-2 lead in the first six minutes, allowing McCaffery to empty the bench early.

Ellingson, who missed most of last season with a foot injury, was 7-of-8 from the floor and made 5-of-6 free throws.

Ellingson is known mostly for his shooting range, but cut into the paint for three lay-ups in the second half.

Iowa guard Peter Jok didn’t play after leaving Friday’s game against Gardner Webb with an ankle injury.

Uhl started in his place and made 7-of-10 field goals — including three 3-pointers.

Uhl averaged 10 minutes a game last season as Aaron White’s backup. Uhl will see considerable time this year as Iowa’s sixth man — and impromptu starter when needed.

Senior Mike Gesell had a career-high 12 assists — one less than Coppin State had as a team.

Iowa’s Jarrod Uthoff added 13 points, seven rebounds and three blocks in 18 minutes.

Iowa 76, Gardner-Webb 59 IOWA CITY (AP) — McCaffery challenged Uthoff this offseason to be more assertive as Iowa’s new go-to guy.

Uthoff didn’t take long to show what he can do.

The senior scored all of his career-high 21 points in the first half and the Hawkeyes beat Gardner Webb 76-59 on Friday night in the opener for both teams.

Uthoff scored eight of Iowa’s first nine points.

Adam Woodbury had 11 points and Jok added eight before leaving early in the second half with an injury for the Hawkeyes, who scored 21 points off 17 Bulldog turnovers.

Tyrell Nelson scored 12 points to lead Gardner Webb, which shot 19 percent in the second half. The Bulldogs ended the game on a 2-of15 shooting slump.

The Hawkeyes, who are vying for a third straight NCAA Tournament appearance after an eight-year drought, are relying on Uthoff to step up and replace all-Big Ten forward and Aaron White.

Uthoff hit 6-of-9 field goals and all seven of his fouls shots in the first half.

The versatile forward can score in a variety of ways. Uthoff had a steal, layup and hit the ensuing free throw for a 3-point play in the opening minutes. Later, he hit a pair of conventional 3-pointers.

Uthoff played only seven minutes in the second half as Iowa built its lead. He only shot three times after halftime.

Iowa led 41-37 after a back-and-forth first half.

The Hawkeyes opened the second half on an 8-0 run to create a cushion and led by double figures for much of the rest of the game.

The Hawkeyes have won 33 of their last 34 nonconference home games.

Gesell had nine of Iowa’s 15 assists, a career high.

Isaiah Ivey had nine points and nine rebounds for Gardner Webb.

Colorado State ends UNI’s home-court streak

NASCAR photo Dale Earnhardt Jr., driver of the No. 88 Nationwide Chevrolet, celebrates on pit road after winning the rain-shortened NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Quicken Loans Race for Heroes 500 at Phoenix International Raceway on Nov. 15, 2015 in Avondale, Ariz.

NASCAR Continued from Page 1B The long delay included numerous stops and starts around pit road, with drivers going on to their cars a couple times, only to be forced back into the garage.

Once the race started, Kurt Busch put himself in a difficult position, forced to the back after being penalized for jumping the start.

He worked his way back toward the front, reaching the top

10 near the race’s midpoint.

That put all the Chase contenders near the front, hoping they could make the move to get into the top three with Gordon.

The Chase pressure ratcheted up with about 120 laps left when Joey Gase slid up into the wall, causing a caution.

With rain moving toward the track Harvick, Kyle Busch and Truex were in the final four, and Edwards five points behind the final spot.

The caution stretched out as crews tried to clean the track and

the drivers were held in a yellow holding pattern as rain started to fall at PIR. “We can’t let it end like this,” Edwards told his team on the radio.

The cars ran under caution for several more laps before being sent to pit road as the track was red flagged.

The rain picked up after that, ending the race with Earnhardt in the lead, three drivers happy and four others wondering what might have happened had the race continued.

CEDAR FALLS (AP) — John Gillon, Joe De Ciman and Gian Clavell scored 16 points apiece and Colorado State beat Northern Iowa 84-78 on Saturday.

Antwan Scott added 12 points and Emmanuel Omogbo 11 in the season opener.

The victory ended the Panthers’ 18-game

home-court winning streak, which was the 12th-longest active streak in the country.

Northern Iowa came in 21-0 in November at McLeod Center.

Junior Jeremy Morgan led Northern Iowa with 20 points, senior Wes Washpun had 19 and junior Matt Bohannon 17.

necessary. Doing a good job is enough. You don’t need a big group hug to prove that your contribution is significant.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

It’s natural to focus on what’s close to you at first. No one starts out with a worldly perspective. It’s something you’ll find when you set an intention to detach and rise above.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

There’s nothing that “everyone” is doing, thinking, knowing or saying. When your thoughts come at you in the form of hyperbole, they’re just plain wrong and it’s time to take a break.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Someone may lead you to

believe that it’s not appropriate to show how fantastic you are. Beware of self-censorship.

First do what you set out to do. After that you can decide whether or not to tone it down.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’ll take measures to ensure that your personal stock stays high. The desire to make those around you happy will lead to success as long as you temper it with the desire to make yourself happy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If you simply don’t know what to do with yourself in those moments when no one else is demanding your time, that’s because the muses have yet to call. They will soon, and your way will be made obvious.

Ever-diligent these days, you may be afraid that if you relax and enjoy yourself, your appetite for enjoyment will grow.

Well, it will, and it should.

What’s so wrong with having more pleasure in your life?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll have an excellent sense of decorum, which is great because there are those around you who will be lacking in this. Help them understand (probably through modeling) what’s appropriate to the circumstance.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Music will make you a happier person, especially when you’re the DJ. Make your playlist and put it through

the speakers before anyone else has a chance to take the airwaves.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’ll be compassionate, composed and levelheaded even when those around you are losing their cool. You’ll be sought out for your advice and company.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You can’t force yourself from one mood to the next, but you can try and coax a mood by altering your environment and finding a new one that’s more conducive to your desired state.
