Newton Police to add narcotics K9 dog

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Newton Police Department will add a narcotics K9 unit as part of the departm e n t ’s drug initiative program to target drug activity within the comBurdess munity.

The Newton City Council on Monday gave unanimous approval to move forward with the project at its regular meeting. The approval is the first step in bringing various parts of the program before the council for final approval and funding.

“We’re looking at a comprehensive approach to the narcotics issue in Newton. We’re looking at a big picture approach that includes an education and prevention element, an enforcement element that is going to tie into the K9 unit and a treatment and rehabilitation element,” Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess said.

“The narcotics dog would put us closer to giving us more of an advantage when we’re going in the enforcement element.”

Burdess said although the department’s enforcement efforts are consistent, they could be enhanced and be more effective with the imple-

mentation of the narcotics K9 program.

With changes made by the state and federal governments narrowing the interpretation of the Fourth Amendment, law enforcement’s ability to effectively enforce narcotics related offenses have been limited nationwide, Burdess said. A specially trained narcotics K9 would mitigate many of the investigative barriers and also provide a higher level of investigative resources that would be used on traffic stops as well as during searches at homes, businesses and schools.

“Often times we know there are drugs in the house but we couldn’t find them because we don’t have that resource,” Burdess said. “At least this will give us the opportunity to know if we do or not. It will put us one step ahead in the game.”

The cost of the program totals more than $56,000 with $46,000 used to purchase a specialized vehicle and squad equipment. The dog itself and training with a handler will be $5,200 with an additional $5,000 set aside for kenneling the animal at its home.

Funding for the project will come from several areas including bond issue money. The NPD will also solicit $5,000 to $10,000 in donations and local grants.

O

ne of the last of Iowa’s remaining survivors of the attack on Pearl Harbor has passed away.

Leland Lester died Sunday at Skiff Medical Center in Newton at age 94.

A family visitation is scheduled for 4 p.m. Tuesday at Howard Street Christian Church in Colfax, and the family will greet friends from 6 to 8 p.m. at the church. The funeral service — which is likely to be attended by

many veterans — is set for 10:30 a.m. Wednesday at the church, with the burial to follow at Colfax Cemetery.

Lester, who was born and raised in rural Colfax, was 19 and had just joined the Navy when, while serving aboard the drydocked battleship USS Pennsylvania, the Japanese attacked the U.S. Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor. He went on to serve on another battleship, the USS California.

After the war he married Martha Jane Boatwright, and the couple had three children.

Vets can stay in county for some mental health needs When military veterans need to see a medical professional these days, an appointment often involves a trip to Des Moines — or farther.

Fortunately, an arrangement with the Vets Center of Des Moines allows Jasper County veterans the opportunity to see a licensed independent social worker. Penny Sax has been making the trip from the Vets Center, located in West Des Moines, to Newton for about two years.

Sax brings a specially painted Vets Center SUV to the Jasper County Annex building on North Second Avenue East on the first and third Monday of each month. With that vehicle parked out front, it’s a sign that veterans can come in for therapy

sessions.

“I”m considered a clinician,” Sax said. “I can do individual or couples clinical therapy for combat vets for PTSD, or for any other type of military trauma.”

Sax had six clients on her schedule this Monday. Most of the veterans she sees were referred to her by other medical professionals, so a veteran who meets with her is typically already seeing a psychiatrist, so medicine management is already handled.

Sessions between LISWs and veterans are not typically ongoing appointments with no plan of limit. Therapy tends to run four to six one-hour sessions, depending on progress.

“A lot depends on how well each veteran is managing their symptoms,” she said.

war for many years, but eventually, he said, he felt the need to tell his story. After living in New Jersey for years, he returned to Jasper County in 2001, and became admired all over again for sharing his story at schools and other venues.

Lester’s granddaughter, Stephanie Linn, said her grandfather was always welcomed back after he spoke about his experiences.

“He spoke at a lot of places and they always wanted him to come back,” Linn said. “He would talk to veterans or civilians.”

Grain Prices The Iowa Department of Agriculture/USDA Market News closing cash grain bids offered to producers as of 1:30 p.m. Nov. 13 are listed below. Prices are in dollars per bushel, delivered to Interior Iowa Country Elevators.

US 2 Yellow Corn Prices were mostly 4 cents lower for a state average of $3.28. US 1 Yellow Soybean Prices were mostly 8 cents higher for a state average of $8.06.

Yellow Corn — In the North Central region, the average range was $3.18 to $3.30 with an average of $3.25. In the South Central region, the average range was $3.21 to $3.51 with an average of $3.30.

Yellow Soybeans — In the North Central region, the average range was $7.93 to $8.04 with an average of $7.98. In the South Central region, the average range was $8.00 to $8.10 with an average of $8.04.

Corn basis to state average price for the CBOT DEC contract is -.30, and soybean basis for the CBOT NOV contract is -.50. This report was prepared by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Greg Conrad, Parts and Service Operations Manager for Key Co-op’s Napa Auto Parts store in Sully, points to sidewall damage on what had been a brand new tractor tire. There are many types of tire damage driving innovations in tractor tires, but one of the main ones is sharp, strong stubble left behind in fields that are growing today’s resilient corn.

Compaction, plant strength lead to tractor tire innovations Co-op rep says tougher tires needed around tougher corn stalks

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News SULLY — There are no signs on Iowa corn fields warning farmers “Do not back up — severe tire damage.”

However, as resilient as some corn plants have become, there might as well be such warning signs on corn fields. The sharp, strong stubble left behind in harvested fields that are growing today’s resilient corn is one of a few factors driving innovations in the tractor tire industry, according to Greg Conrad, Parts and Service Operations Manager for Key Co-op’s NAPA Auto Parts store in Sully.

“It’s basically like driving on nails,” Conrad said. “The plants that can endure pesticides and all sorts of weather conditions leave tough, sharp points behind in the fields, and manufacturers are trying to create tires that can resist that kind of puncturing.”

Conrad said Titan is perhaps the only tire manufacturer that has made significant headway in addressing the issue. Titan, formerly known as Titan Wheel, purchased the farm tire business of Goodyear in 2005 and continues manufacturing Goodyear agricultural tires under license.

He said Titan has begun to sell tires that feature an additive to the rubber compound already used for tractor tire treads. The additive makes the tires harder and more puncture-resis-

tant, deflecting or breaking off the sharp stubble tractors must sometimes roll over.

Of course, Conrad said, stronger tires are only part of the solution, as having tires that are well-fitted for a particular farm or function is important as well. He said manufacturer representatives will often come out to a farm and make sure a tractor has the proper tires, and that a tractor is set up properly for its application.

Conrad said one of the obstacles some farmers have to proper tire arrangements involves pride. Decades of experience of multi-generation farms makes it tough for some farmers to accept guidance.

“Tractors are more powerful than ever before and are asked to do as much work as ever,” Conrad said. “It’s OK to get some professional help.”

A recent article from agriculture.com quotes Titan product engineering staff, who remind farmers that rubber is a living, breathing substance that becomes harder and tougher over time, so the newest tires might not be suitable on the sharpest-stubble fields. Width is important as well; tires should spend most of their lives between corn rows, minimizing the stubble underneath.

Another issue is compaction.

Heavy tractors pack down soil and affect its crop viability, so tires are being produced that even out the compaction, and

reduce the “bounce” to a tractor’s ride, Conrad said.

Tires are expensive, he said, ranging from as cheap as $500 to about $9,000, depending on a number of variables. That’s why farmers are advised to choose and set up tractors and tractor parts carefully, and it’s why services such as Key Co-op’s tire repair are in high demand.

“It isn’t cheap to have someone come out to a farm and fix a tire — especially at night, or on a holiday,” Conrad said. “Not many places have invested in the equipment (or staff ) needed to do those kinds of repairs. But it’s still cheaper than replacing, say, a $9,000 tire,” Conrad pointed out a tire on hand in Sully that had been damaged beyond repair. The tire, which was new and in good condition, had a gouge or rip along the sidewall, and a patch wouldn’t fit behind it, as the damage was too close to the inside bead to fit a patch properly.

“You see why we attempt to make a fix,” Conrad said.

He said the price of tires has remained high worldwide because tires are, at least in terms of final assembly, still made by hand.

“No one has been able to figure out how to automate the whole process yet,” he said.

Barr named to Iowa Corn Collegiate Advisory Team JOHNSTON — Iowa Corn would like to announce the 18 Iowa college students who will make up the fifth Iowa Corn Collegiate Advisory Team.

The CAT team is sponsored by the Iowa Corn Growers Association and the Iowa Corn Promotion Board. The advisory team helps ICGA and ICPB in developing programs that target and enhance Iowa Corn’s relationship with students who are pursuing careers in agriculture production, business and the industry as a whole.

The 2015/2016 participants include Michael Barr, of Kellogg, Iowa State University; Dalton Webster, Dordt; Jacquie Kenyon, Ellsworth; Jacob Still, Graceland; Jayden Van Berkum, Hawkeye; Hannah Wilson, Indian Hills; Keyton Strutzenburg, Iowa Central; Trent Taglauer, Iowa State; Warren Bailey, Iowa State; Mikayla Edwards, Iowa State; Kaitlin Ihns, Iowa State; Kellin Chambers, Iowa Western; Kayla Smith, Kirkwood; Valarie Hernandez, Morningside; Ty Schillerstrom, Muscatine; Sami Searle, Northern Iowa Area; Natalie Te Grootenhuis, Northwestern; and Michaella Beckman, Southeastern.

Farmland drainage to be covered at ISU workshop AMES — Iowa State University Extension and Outreach and US Department of Agriculture will host a Farmland Drainage Workshop from 8:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Dec. 10 at the Polk County Extension office in Altoona.

“This workshop is being offered due to increased interest in this topic the past year,” ISU field agricultural engineer Kapil Arora said.

The morning session will focus on sub-surface drainage design concepts, wetland determinations, Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy and long-term benefits of tiling. The afternoon session will include discussions on economics, nutrient cycling in soils, controlled drainage, bioreactors, saturated buffers and managing drainage water quality with wetlands.

Legal issues related to tiling and Iowa drainage laws also will be covered.

Attendees will learn information essential to designing and planning a new drainage system or retrofitting an existing system while learning about environmental impacts and new technologies that may be useful in minimizing negative environmental impacts.

Registration fee for the workshop is $40 before Dec. 7. Workshop materials, morning refreshments and lunch are included in the fee. Registration forms are at www.extension.iastate.edu/polk and making payment to Polk County Extension.

Local News Lester Continued from Page 1A More than 2,400 people were killed and more than 1,100 were wounded in the attacks, which brought the U.S. directly into World War II, and there were casualties among the crew of Lester’s ship, the USS Pennsylvania.

The USS California also suffered casualties during an attack. Lester told the Newton Daily News one of his most vivid memories was funerals for sailors at sea.

Council Continued from Page 1A Burdess has been working with Midwest K9 located in Des Moines to purchase the dog, but it is currently unknown what breed of dog will be purchased.

“The unique thing about them is they take rescue dogs and turn them in to police working dogs,” Burdess said.

Because the animal is a rescue, it comes at a more affordable price than its purebred counterpart Burdess said.

The annual maintenance expenses for the program are expected to total close to $6,000 depending on the number of donations the program receives.

“We’re looking for a hunting breed, that are often smaller dogs, a 40 to 50 pound dog. Often they are much healthier and able to last longer in service,” Burdess said.

In addition to the breed of the dog, the handler or police officer who will be trained to work with the K9 unit has not been determined. The dog is

“Meals are a part of the training,” Seitz said.

“That’s considered work time for them, because meals is one of the many times they’ll have to be in service. They need to stay on the ground, at the trainer’s side, and not beg for food. That’s the discipline level we’re talking about.”

Lester remained active with the VFW and received a Gold Circle Award from that organization. He attended a Pearl Harbor Survivors Reunion in San Diego, and went on one of the Honor Flights that took veterans to Washington, D.C. memorials in 2009.

Lester’s passing means there might be only two living Pearl Harbor survivors in Iowa, including Bob Ulrich.

The Newton Daily News spoke with Ulrich by phone from his home in rural Lisbon. Ulrich said he remained

expected to be trained in narcotics, but the animal will also serve a dual purpose as a trailing dog.

“If we had a missing child, Alzheimer patient or a criminal this dog would have the knowledge and the training to track that person down,” Burdess said.

Having the animal on hand can make a big difference in a case, Burdess said. Currently, if the department needs to utilize a local animal, it can take more than the allotted 10 to 20 minutes allowed by regulations to get the animal to the scene, making it a wasted exercise. He said on average it takes 45 minutes to one hour to get a dog from another agency.

“We tried to use one the other night during the Casey’s robbery and it took an hour and a half to get one out of Poweshiek County. That is a lot of time that we lost where we maybe could have caught them while they were close,” Burdess said.

The council had unanimous support for the program and the work that the department is doing to curb drug problems in for almost two years. The foundation also handles any medical issues that would require a veterinarian.

There are profiles of about five dogs paired with veterans on the organization’s website, puppyjakefoundation. org, described as “graduates.” Four of the veterans are from Iowa; the program is expected to focus heavily on serving disabled veterans in the Midwest.

Becky Beach, CEO of Puppy Jake, said there could be more Puppy Jake dogs headed to Newton soon.

“The foundation is excited to begin this partnership,” Beach said.

“I support this. I think this a great tool for the police department,” council member Craig Trotter said. “They obviously need this., I get a lot of questions or statements about the drug problems or what is going on and how can we fix it.”

Council member Jeff Price said a lot of the comments he receives from citizens are related to what is being done about the drug problem in town.

“I think this is just another tool to help the NPD,” Price said.

Council member Noreen Otto agreed.

“This is every bit as important as every other issue or any other initiative that we would do with the police department,” Otto said. “I always talk about what are the things that the city really needs to fulfill our responsibilities as a city government, I think this is one of the primary purposes.”

Since this program hopes to get part of its funding from donations and grants, Mayor Mike Hansen said it would be a great opportunity for those looking to help to the relationship in the coming months and are grateful for the staff and guys making this partnership possible.”

The Pups on Parole program began more than six years ago, and has had as many as 75 trained dogs adopted within a calendar year.

For a 2009 story, Lester told the Newton Daily News what it was like to see kamikaze planes bearing the red sun of the Japanese fleet, and why he felt it was critical to tell stories about what the attack on Pearl Harbor was like.

“Folks will ask me from time to time, ‘what can we do to help?’ This is an opportunity for the community to help with the ongoing costs for this particular tool for the police department. I’m sure, without a doubt ... this tool will certainly be a needed one to ramp up our enforcement efforts,” Hansen said.

In other business: • The council approved the position of community service attendant for the Newton Police Department, replacing the parking meter attendant position.

• Also approved was the creation of two sergeant positions in the NPD, replacing the vacant lieutenant position.

• New playground equipment for Aurora Park was approved at a price of $49,999 from Cunningham Recreation of Charlotte, NC. The new equipment includes one playground structure, a zip line and new swings.

Vets Continued from Page 1A The Vets Center of Des Moines, like its counterparts in other cities, is aimed at the psychosocial side of helping veterans adjust in society. There are more than 300 nationwide, including ones in Sioux City, the Quad Cities and Cedar Rapids.

A brochure about the Des Moines Vets Center begins with the sentence “One fact of war is that in its aftermath, while nations enjoy peace, some warriors experience psychological and social distress.”

Chartier All of the Vets Center’s services are free to veterans and their families.

Jasper County Veterans Affairs Director Chris Chartier said having Sax available on the first and third Mondays is of great assistance.

“Recognizing the need — as well as the distance — to a VHA facility, the Jasper County Commission of Veterans Affairs coordinated with the Vet Center over a year ago to provide local office hours in Newton with a skilled professional from their staff,” Chartier said. “This has brought an opportunity unlike any other rural area of Iowa to provide federal mental health services to local residents with neither an associated fee nor a 45 minute drive.”

Sax said she always make sure to not give veterans the impression that she is a case manager, or that she has can magically resolve all of their issues. A veteran who is seeing an LISW often has other medical or mental health needs.

“It’s all about learning to cope with things,” Sax said. “Everyone’s challenges in coping is different.”

The program is not meant to replace or impact Pups on Parole in any way.

The cost of training a dog completely is estimated at $18,000 to $20,000, Seitz said.

Beach said she’s grateful for the help from the Newton Correctional

Facility offenders.

“The first week of classes and training went very well,” Beach said.

“What a wonderful experience for the dogs in training, and, we hope, a valuable and rewarding experience for the guys at the facility.”

Keeping Me on My Toes

10-0

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Nov. 17, 2015

As far as I know, I have never been a part of making history or setting any significant records. Saturday I was a part of both.

My excitement leading up to the Grapple on the Gridiron wrestling meet and the blackout football game, both at Kinnick Stadium, was off the charts. The two were scheduled for the day after my birthday and had much bigger significance because, in case you haven’t heard, the Hawkeyes are undefeated.

As soon as we found out they were planning a wrestling meet in Kinnick, we were on board.

We have always talked about going to a wrestling meet in Iowa City, but because they are after football season and during the winter, we had never pulled the trigger.

With tickets in hand, we dropped off the girls at my in-laws and were on our way.

The wrestling meet lived up to the hype and more. More than 42,000 fans packed the south end zone and beyond to cheer on the Hawks as they took on No. 1 ranked Oklahoma State.

I will never say I am an expert on wrestling, but I did get the basics down while I was a wrestling cheerleader in high school. It was fun to see so many people yelling for “2” and the excitement of the crowd as we were named victors following the final match.

Breaking the previous capacity record by more than 26,000 people was awesome, and taking it back from Penn State was icing on the cake. It was the perfect set up for what was to come that night.

The afternoon was spent getting a bite to eat and shopping for more Iowa gear to fill my closet. We also hit up several tailgating spots and snacked on the delicious treats everyone brought.

The night game, which I believe was the first ever for Iowa in November, lived up to my expectations. From the entrance of the team, a sold out blackout crowd and perfect weather, I couldn’t have asked for a better night.

The football game was entertaining, exciting and maybe a little bit closer than my blood pressure was hoping for. When our quarterback C.J. Beathard went down in the second half I had flashbacks to Ricky Stanzi’s injury in 2009 when we were also 9-0. Thankfully, after one play from our back-up,

Beathard was back on the field, and with a final score of 40-35, Iowa was 10-0 for the first time in school history.

I love being a Hawkeye, and I will also take the bad years with the good. I just hope people, mainly those nay-sayers that come out during a down year, can enjoy when we have success and know that it is always a possibility for any Iowa team.

As for me, I had a great birthday capped with two victories by my Hawkeyes. Now, I am just patiently waiting to find out where I might be traveling as the calender turns, and continuing to enjoy all of the success we are having while it lasts.

On Iowa and Go Hawks!

these issues. Before we choose a candidate to caucus for in February, we need to know his or her plans for securing the future of all our nation’s kids and families.

Misplaced blame in prescription costs

Iowa membership of more than 40,000. I would challenge the Iowa Chapter of Americans for Prosperity to survey their 40,000 members and ask — who is primarily responsible for the spike in drug prices? (the ACA; large pharmaceutical companies; or their health care providers?)

The Kaiser Family Foundation reports that 76 percent of Americans believe prescription drug prices should be America’s top priority. Blaming the insurance companies, Obamacare and pri-

vate sector providers for the huge spike in drug prices and using the Turing Pharmaceutical anomaly as an example is laughable.

Drugs for chronic illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, crohns, hepatitis and other drugs save and extend lives and alleviate pain and suffering, that is, if one has the money to purchase them.

I understand the core principle of Americans for Prosperity is “for an America where truly free markets allow for free and prosperous people.” Yeah — right!

It’s hard to find an issue that truly unites liberal and conservative in today’s split-downthe-middle, name-calling America. What is liberal is not conservative, a n d what is conservative is not liberal.

T h a t By Marc Dion is what w e know for certain.

But I think the Department of Housing and Urban Development may have found that issue in proposing a ban on smoking in all public housing.

To have a serious discussion of the proposed ban, you have to forget the fact that bans on crack smoking have failed in public housing, as have bans against guns, incest, rape, domestic violence and gang membership.

If you’ve ever been in the projects (and as a reporter, I have) part of your image of the project dweller includes a cigarette in the hand.

Still, if nothing else, the government of the United States remains optimistic. And they’re considering the ban because considering bans is what they do for work.

The unification between liberal and conservatives provoked by this ban is obvious.

Liberals believe in secondhand smoke the way born again Christians believe in God’s grace. Both may be unseen but the believer knows they’re real and may treasure them all the more just because they cannot be seen.

And, of course, it’s liberals who forever encumber us with rules meant to save our lives or make us more polite or force us to be nice to members of other races and religions.

The smoking ban is a liberal dream, the opportunity to reach behind the locked door of a project apartment, pluck the cigarette from Mom’s lips and crush it under the jack boot of liberal nanny/Nazi oppression.

Take away her candy bars, too! They make you unhealthily obese!

Conservatives should love this initiative, too.

Though only because it carries on the great conservative tradition of torturing the poor.

Getting welfare befits? Pee in a cup, the conservatives say. It’s proven to be a wildly ineffective method of finding out if welfare recipients are on drugs but do it anyway.

It gets big votes out in the lawn suburbs where the white Christians live.

Propose making welfare recipients work cleaning the streets, suggest spaying the women and neutering the men, cut their benefits for every child they have, and don’t let them buy anything but oatmeal with EBT cards.

Yeah, every whackjob theory on how to punish the poor finds a nest among the conservatives, who will love the smoking ban because it gives right-thinking tax payers an opportunity to reach behind the locked door of a project apartment and pick the cigarette from Mom’s lips, that oversexed little welfare queen. Take away her candy bars, too! It’s morally wrong to eat a candy bar if you’re on public assistance!

It’s been long decades of strife, but finally liberals and conservatives have found one area of your life they both want to invade, one choice they both want to take away from you. We are a nation once again!

FAMILY CIRCUS

Moving to the desert makes woman thirst for former life DEAR ABBY: Last year my boyfriend and I moved across the country to Arizona so he could be closer to his friends and family. My entire family lives on the East Coast.

Recently it seems like our plan to marry and start a family keeps getting pushed further and further into the future. I’m 35; he’s 47. Neither of us has been married or has kids.

I’m beginning to regret having uprooted my life for someone who is unilaterally changing the timing of what I thought we both wanted. How long should I wait before cutting my losses and moving closer to the people I care for and who miss me? — ALONE IN THE DESERT DEAR ALONE: If you haven’t already, it’s time to have a conversation with your boyfriend about what your expectations were when you made the move to Arizona. If you want to have children, you will be getting a late start as it is.

Ask him why he wants to postpone your wedding plans beyond what you had agreed upon. He may have cold feet, his friends or relatives may have said they don’t care for you — anything is possible. But you deserve straight answers, and if they aren’t satisfactory, I see no reason to devote more time to a relationship that isn’t working out.

DEAR ABBY: Seven years ago my sister’s 19-year-old son was killed in a car accident. After the wake she gave me a heart necklace with some of his ashes. We no longer speak and haven’t for four years.

Well, did I get a shock today. I received an email from her asking for it back! She even had my stepmom repeat that message to me. I don’t believe she has the right to ask for the necklace. Does she? — BLUE IN TENNESSEE DEAR BLUE: Because you are no longer speaking, I can understand why your sister might want her son’s ashes back. Be a lady; return the necklace

to her via registered mail or have your stepmother give it to her. It’s regrettable that your relationship with your sister has sunk to this level. Because this was no ordinary gift, understand that if you refuse to return it, your relationship with your sister will be permanently fractured.

DEAR ABBY: So many of your letters involve people having difficulty communicating with others. Here’s a safe, honest, straightforward technique for targeting the behavior, sharing feelings and explaining the reasons for those feelings. It is called an “I-Statement” and has three parts: (1) “When you ...” (2) “I feel/felt ...” (3) “Because ...”

I-Statements can be used for the sharing of any and all feelings by kids, teens and adults. Feelings are valid because they are our honest emotions. In addition to giving positive strokes to one another, people can learn to better understand each other and have whole, complete and satisfying resolutions to problems. Try it! — SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGIST (RETIRED) IN OHIO DEAR PSYCHOLOGIST: I will! When I received your suggestion about improving communication, I felt grateful that you took the time to share it because it was not only generous of you but also may be helpful to many of my readers. Thank you for sending it.

Health officials report two central Iowa men die from flu

2

DES MOINES — Public health officials say two central Iowa men have died from the flu and the state now has one of the highest influenza virus activity rates in the nation. Iowa Department of Public Health Medical Director Dr. Patricia Quinlisk says the two men who died were between 41 and 60 years old. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control estimates about 300,000 Iowans get the flu each year and an average of 1,000 die annually from the flu and its complications.

Steve King endorses Ted Cruz for president

Third trial delayed for man accused of 1990 slaying DAVENPORT — A judge has delayed the third trial of an Illinois man charged with the 1990 killing of a 9-year-old girl in eastern Iowa.

Judge Marlita Greve on Friday granted the defense attorney’s request to delay Stanley Liggins’ Jan. 19 trial date. Greve gave both sides a week to come up with a new trial start date. Juries twice convicted Liggins in the death of Jennifer Lewis, who disappeared from her Rock Island, Ill., neighborhood.

STORM LAKE — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz has picked up a key Iowa endorsement from Congressman Steve King, a strong conservative voice in the leadoff caucus state. King, who announced his endorsement Monday, represents the conservative 4th District, which encompasses much of western and northern Iowa. During a news conference, King said Cruz would appeal to a wide range of Republicans.

Iowa fire department has hovercraft at its disposal COUNCIL BLUFFS — The Council Bluffs Fire Department says its new hovercraft has already aided its rescue capabilities, and should come in handy this winter. The department purchased the hovercraft for about $60,000 last summer. According to Capt. Jason Sorenson, the hovercraft can fly 9 inches off the ground and can travel over water, grass, ice and snow. The department had about $140,000 set aside to replace an ambulance. They found a used one and the other funds were used to purchase the hovercraft.

Regulator delays funding for Iowa Energy Center

By Ryan J. Foley The Associated Press IOWA CITY — The Iowa Utilities Board chairwoman is taking the unusual, perhaps illegal, step of withholding funding from the state’s renewable energy research center until its leaders satisfy her questions about its programs and finances.

The move by Geri Huser may violate a law that requires the funding to be appropriated to the Iowa Energy Center

at Iowa State University once it’s collected by the utilities board. If the delay continues, the center may have to suspend its grant programs and lay off workers. The funding is usually transferred by mid-September.

Huser told The Associated Press she has no indications money has been misspent.

But she said she was temporarily withholding $4 million — earmarked for the center from annual assessments on electric and gas utilities — as

ter’s funding.

Huser, appointed by the governor in a shakeup of the utilities board last spring, said she has a “fiduciary responsibility” to ask questions as a member of a 13-person council that advises Petri.

Critics say Huser is overstepping her authority to scrutinize a center that has had great success in promoting solar, wind and biomass energy under Petri.

“I’m asking her to read the law and turn the money over to the energy center as the law requires.”

25-year-old man accused of beating woman at her home ELKADER (AP) — A 25-year-old man has been accused of severely beating a woman at her home in northeast Iowa.

The Elkader Police Department said Monday it has an arrest warrant on a charge of attempted murder for the Pella man.

Clayton County Attorney Alan Heavens says the man is in custody in Wisconsin and authorities plan to extradite him to Iowa. Additional information about why he was in Wisconsin was not released.

Police Chief Marvin Duff says the man went to a home in Elkader on Nov. 10 and attacked a woman inside with repeated punches and kicks.

In a letter Monday to the center’s executive director, Mark Petri, she requested that he make a presentation on Dec. 15 detailing how projects are selected and an analysis of results achieved in the past five years. She also requested “copies of program audits and financial audits,” but didn’t mention the cen-

Newton trio, coach on Team Iowa sixth-grade football squad

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Zay Arguello, Austin Brady and Evan Grimm have worn the Newton football uniform the past couple of years. This weekend, the three Newton players don the Team Iowa football uniform in the NUC Rising Stars Plains Regional football tournament.

The trio is on the sixthgrade Team Iowa football team coached by Newton’s Ryan Arguello. The team plays games Friday, Saturday and Sunday at West Des Moines Valley Stadium. The top two teams in each grade level — sixth, seventh and eighth — advance to the National Underclassman Rising Stars national football tournament in Las Vegas, Dec. 3-6.

Brady plays defensive right tackle and center on offense for Team Iowa.

“This is my second year of playing football and I thought it would be fun to tackle people,” Brady said.

“Playing for Team Iowa is another way I can play a little more football this season.”

Grimm said he found his inspiration to play football from the fact his father played football in high school. He plays tight end on offense and nose guard on defense for Team Iowa.

“I really like playing football and being on Team Iowa allows me to play some more,” Grimm said.

Arguello is Team Iowa’s quarterback and outside linebacker. He said he went through the tryout process for Team Iowa for several reasons.

“Football is my favorite sport. I’ve been playing it since third grade. On Team Iowa I get to participate with kids from other towns in Iowa and we get to play against other states,” Arguello said.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News These three Newton boys, from left, Austin Brady, Evan Grimm and Zay Arguello are on the Team Iowa sixth-grade football team which is competing in the 2015 NUC Rising Stars Plains Regional football tournament this weekend in West Des Moines. Ryan Arguello, front, is the team’s coach.

In the Plains Regional along with Iowa teams are teams from Wisconsin, Illinois, Colorado, Kansas City, Mo., St. Louis, Mo., Minnesota and Nebraska.

“There were seven tryouts since April for the teams.

I coached with the leader of this organization (Team Iowa) when I coached my oldest son in youth tackle football. He asked me to coach the sixth-grade team, and I decided to do so,”

Coach Ryan Arguello said.

Arguello said he has been coaching for a long time even before he had children of his own to coach. He has been a professional coach-trainer for 15 years and worked in several gyms in the Des Moines area.

“Coaching is a passion of mine, and I enjoy teaching the game of football,” Arguello said. “There were more than 100 kids tryout for our team from 12 communities.

I was up front with parents about practices and playing time. Some of these kids have to drive two and a half to three hours for practices.

We try to move the practices around a bit.”

There are 16 players on the Team Iowa sixth-grade team under Arguello. The team opens up the regional tournament against Wisconsin.

This & That

Hawkeyes come through in huge sports weekend There was nearly 113,000 fans in Kinnick Stadium at some point Saturday. It could have been regarded as the biggest day in Iowa athletics history.

The football team was playing for and achieved the first 10-0 start in program history. It was the first sell out of the year for this team.

The wrestling program set a new NCAA attendance record, partaking in the first-ever outdoor NCAA meet. To top By Troy Hyde that off, the Newton Daily fourth-ranked News Hawkeyes upset Sports Writer No. 1 Oklahoma State by two points.

It was an exciting weekend in Iowa City, and it was fun being a part of it.

I went to the events as a member of the media. I had never been in a suite at Kinnick Stadium so watching wrestling from that perspective was pretty impressive. Watching the sun come down on the wrestlers was a really cool sight. It was quite an atmosphere, too, as 42,287 fans were loud and crazy throughout the 10 bouts.

The wrestling meet started at 11 a.m. and press conferences with both coaches ended around 1:30 p.m. That meant I had to find something to do before the football game kicked off at 7 p.m.

It was a great day to catch up with some old friends as we headed downtown to catch some other games. We watched most of the Iowa State near-upset of Oklahoma State.

The night game was spectacular. The fans were loud and someone a mile away from the stadium even called the cops and said there was too much noise coming from the stadium.

That’s when you know the fans did their part.

The game wasn’t pretty from a defensive standpoint. The Hawkeyes’ unit on that side of the ball didn’t play their best game. It was still good enough to win the game as the offense once again dominated in the running game.

It was the third different tailback to gain at least 195 yards this season as LeShun Daniels Jr. looked healthy and was at his best against the Gophers.

It’s not too often Iowa’s offense picks up a struggling defense, but that was the case Saturday.

Every game from now on is historic for an Iowa fan. No Hawkeye football team has been 10-0 and each win the rest of the way will just add to that.

Purdue comes to town this week with the hopes of spoiling Iowa’s season. Somehow around 9,000 tickets were said to still be available on Monday.

If the Hawks can get through the Boilermakers, Nebraska gets the chance to play spoiler, and qualify for a bowl game, on Black Friday.

The Huskers have looked better of late and gets two weeks to prepare for Iowa as they received a weird bye week on the second to last weekend of the regular season.

No matter what happens, fans can say this was one of the best rides in school history. It may not end in a College Football Playoff opportunity, but a trip to the Rose Bowl is a pretty awesome consolation prize.

Missouri coach Gary Pinkel tearfully talks about leaving COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Stepping off the podium, Gary Pinkel dried his eyes, put on a happy face and let his wife do the talking.

Missy Pinkel said the couple will be busy. Now that he no longer be football-obsessed, she can teach him to cook. Maybe help him become a better dancer.

“We’ll be fine. We’re going to do a little bit of everything, right?” she asked her husband. “Golf, travel and spend time with family.”

The 63-year-old Pinkel decided it best to enjoy life for however many years he has left while dealing with non-Hodgkins lymphoma diagnosed in May. In front of a couple hundred friends, family members and players Monday, Pinkel joked that he’d rather “die on a beach” than coaching football.

“I’ve got to do something, work more like a normal job, where I can be significant,” Pinkel said. “I’ll just be able to be a normal person.”

He added, “I’m doing the right thing.”

Then again, he said he’d probably never really stop coaching. He caught himself “yelling at the TV” on Sunday night when the Sea-

hawks played the Cardinals, both teams featuring former Missouri players.

P i n k e l fought back tears several times during the news conPinkel ference that served as a formal goodbye.

He choked up when it came to discussing his team and during the multiple standing ovations from a crowd that included several assistant coaches who ignored his suggestion to concentrate on this week’s game plan and interim university president Mike Middleton and chancellor Hank Foley at the center court news conference at Mizzou Arena. Also there was Michael Sam, who starred at Missouri before becoming the first openly gay player to be drafted by an NFL team.

“The most important thing,” Pinkel said haltingly, “is my players. I’m going to miss them, scolding them when I had to scold them, hugging and touching them every day.”

Pinkel always tells players

that they’ll have his phone number for life, that he’ll always be there for them.

The timing is coincidental to campus upheaval last week that resulted in the removal of the university system president and chancellor following student protests — including a prominent promise of a boycott from members of the football team, a stance Pinkel supported. But the stress level could not have been good for the coach.

About six months since the diagnosis, Pinkel is still adjusting to the new reality.

“When you get it, it’s so numbing,” Pinkel said. “For a week you look at yourself and you say, ‘You have to be kidding me.’”

The news conference was Pinkel’s first opportunity to discuss his decision at length, other than after the BYU triumph over the weekend. The cancer diagnosis was leaked on Friday and after the game players rallied around the coach on the field in Kansas City.

“My players and coaches had to be the first ones to know, and I was really upset about that,” Pinkel said.

Pinkel underwent multi-

ple treatments in May and June and informed athletic director Mack Rhoades, who joined the school in late April. But he felt healthy and made no plans to step down.

“I was fine,” he said. “I’m high energy. I feel fine now, I really do.”

During fall drills, he reassessed his future. The Monday of Missouri’s bye week, he underwent another in a series of PET scans and decided this would be his final season.

“This job, it’s every minute of every day, you’ve got to give all your energy, put everything into it,” Pinkel said. “Is that the right way to spend my time? I decided at that time I was going to embrace the healthy times and battle when the tough times come.”

Pinkel is the career wins leaders at two schools, with 118 at Missouri and 73 at Toledo. This has been a down year for Missouri (55), coming off consecutive SEC East championships, but he’s had five 10-win seasons and won five division titles. When he was younger, Pinkel remembers with certainty that he’d chosen the

No. 7 Iowa State eclipses 100 points in home-opening win over Chicago State AMES (AP) — Jameel McKay struggled on offense in Iowa State’s opener. He responded by dunking his way to the best scoring night of his career.

McKay set a new personal mark with 25 points — the majority coming on dunks — and had 11 rebounds as No. 7 Iowa State rolled past Chicago State 106-64 Monday night in coach Steve Prohm’s home debut.

Abdel Nader had 17 points and nine rebounds for the Cyclones (2-0), who won their 18th consecutive opener at Hilton Coliseum.

McKay, a preseason all-Big 12 pick, was 12-of-15 from the floor after scoring just eight points in Friday’s six-point win over Colorado.

“I just try every game to be the best player in the country at playing off my teammates, because I know they’ll get me if I get open,” McKay said.

“They did a great job getting me the ball.”

Iowa State let Chicago State (1-1) hang around in the first half. But the Cyclones opened the second with a 13-0 run to go ahead 62-35.

Elliott Cole had points 18 for Chicago State. The Cougars were outrebounded 53-32.

Chicago State was expected to be little more than an early-season tuneup for the Cyclones. But the Cougars made Iowa State work early on.

Iowa State’s supposedly improved defense wasn’t evident at points in the first half, though Chicago State was also aided by a number of offensive rebounds that bounced right into its hands.

But the Cougars had no answer for McKay, who scored 12 of the Cyclones’ first 19 points.

McKay’s latest alley-oop dunk and a subsequent 3 from Matt Thomas gave the Cyclones a 49-35 halftime lead.

“The thing about Jameel is that he brings a ton of energy,” Iowa State star Georges Niang said. “He runs the floor better than any big man I’ve ever seen, and really we just feed off his energy. He’s the key guy for us.”

Nader helped stretch Iowa State’s lead with four baskets in the first 4 minutes of the second half, and the Cyclones were able to cruise the rest of the way.

Nader was one rebound shy of his third career double-double. He is averaging 15.5 points through two games.

“The first half wasn’t perfect. Too many turnovers led to some easy baskets and some long rebounds that we’ve got to get,” Prohm said. “I though in the last 24 minutes we really dominated the game and established our will.”

Tip-Ins Chicago State: The Cougars brought back just 35 percent of their scoring from last season, when they went 8-24.

Iowa State: Oregon State transfer Hallice Cooke’s first basket for Iowa State came on a layup midway through the first half.

Stat Lines Monte Morris had 14 points and eight assists for Iowa State, and Niang scored 11 points with eight assists. Matt Thomas had a career-high 11 rebounds off the bench. ... The Cyclones outscored Chicago State 57-29 in the second half.

Up Next Chicago State hosts Indiana Northwest on Wednesday.

Iowa State hosts Chattanooga next Monday.

Texans send Bengals to first loss behind backup TJ Yates CINCINNATI (AP) — It figures that T.J. Yates and the Texans would be the ones to finally knock off the Bengals.

Yates took over after Brian Hoyer sustained a concussion on Monday night and rallied Houston to a 10-6 victory over Cincinnati, sending the Bengals their first loss — on their home field no less.

The Bengals (8-1) were trying to make NFL history and join New England and Carolina at 9-0 — there’s never been such a trio. A backup quarterback with a history of beating them got in the way.

Cincinnati contained some of the NFL’s top quarterbacks and knocked off some of its best teams while getting off to the best start in club history. The Texans (4-6) were an appropriate team to end the run.

They made Andy Dalton look bad during first-round playoff wins over the Bengals during the 2011 and 2012 seasons. Yates was behind that first one, a 31-10 victory in Houston that was the Texans’ first-ever postseason win.

On Monday night, Yates came in when Hoyer suffered a con-

cussion in the third quarter. He ended his first drive with a 22yard touchdown pass to DeAndre Hopkins, who made a one-handed catch in the end zone for the game’s only touchdown.

Dalton had another tough time against a Texans defense, going 21-of-37 for 187 yards with an interception and three sacks.

Cincinnati’s final chance slipped away when A.J. Green made a catch for what would have been a first down at the Texan 23-yard line, then was stripped of the ball

by Quintin Demps with 40 seconds left.

Yates finished 5-of-11 for 69 yards and the touchdown pass that decided a lackluster game by both offenses.

The Bengals led 6-3 after a first half that was filled with penalties and missed plays. Telling statistics: The quarterbacks led their teams in rushing. Hoyer had 15 yards on one scramble, and Dalton had 30 yards on five carries.

That was especially bad for the Texans, who have been trying unsuccessfully to get one of the league’s worst running games going with Arian Foster sidelined by an Achilles tendon injury.

right profession.

“They pay these guys to coach football? Can life get better than that?” Pinkel said. “I’ve never worked a day in my life.”

Rhoades will have a separate news conference Wednesday to discuss the coaching search in more detail. Among the top candidates is Rhoades’ last coaching hire, Houston’s Tom Herman, along with Justin Fuente of Memphis.

Rhoades said Pinkel won’t be involved in the search for a successor, but might ask Pinkel’s opinion if he was familiar with any of the candidates.

“I think he can be certainly a great asset to this institution,” Rhoades said.

“We’ll make sure he stays as close as he wants.”

Pinkel reiterated at his afternoon news conference setting up the Tennessee game that he’ll never coach again, saying it’s far too stressful. He also believes being outside the search process is proper.

“That’s the way it should be,” Pinkel said. “If I was the athletic director I wouldn’t want someone walking behind me.”

A conjunction of the sun and Mercury will bring attention to things that don’t want any attention. Secrets, scandals, sore feelings -- if it’s uncomfortable, this Scorpio alignment is interested. While you follow your curiosity, expect that others will be doing the same. If there’s something you’d like to hide, the best place will be in plain sight.

come out stronger and able to make improvements. March through May will bring beauty into your world. Leo and Cancer adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 3, 38, 22 and 19.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You’ll be contemplating a purchase today. Here’s something to consider: Experiences will make you happier than physical items. Things bring clutter to your life that experiences do not.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

When you have something to prove, you’ll stand independently. But what do you have

to prove right now? Likely, it’s more important that you work harmoniously with others. Together, you’ll get things done.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Your talent for flattery will get you everywhere today. You’ll lay it on like a baker puts icing on the cupcake -- just thick enough to add some sweetness to the main event without overpowering it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Today’s scene could trigger your shy tendencies. This is appropriate for the situation.

Scientific studies suggest that socially anxious individuals are often also highly intelligent.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your realistic view may contrast with someone’s airy-fairy ideas. This will provide the kind of conflict that could either result in continued disharmony or in a brilliant and workable plan.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

One of your favorite ways to express admiration is silently.

The perfect moment to do this will arise, and however quiet your praise may be, it will be felt on many levels.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Someone going through a moment of low self-esteem will require your compassion.

Someone with an overblown sense of self will require your compassion. Your compassion

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The ancient Greeks believed that the number of people invited to a dinner party should exceed three and stop at nine.

This wisdom will apply to an event you are planning.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Emotions are volatile now and won’t take long to go from lukewarm to overheated. When things get intense, take three deep breaths and then take on the world with a softer approach.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You recently witnessed someone around you making a mistake. This really does warrant discreet mention, as it can

be easily righted, which will benefit all.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You know what the other person wants; you’re just not sure if you’re willing to provide it. The price tag may be more emotional than financial and this makes it costly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Disagreements that seem to be about money are actually about power. Knowing the source of the problem will help you solve it. Tonight brings laughter with a true friend.
