Reallocated funds provide for five city projects

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

File photo A public meeting of the Iowa legislature’s Medicaid Oversight Committee is set for Dec. 7 at the state capitol. Three state senators traveled to Washington, D.C. this week to discuss concerns about the planned Jan. 1 statewide Medicaid transition to managed care.

Meeting set for Dec. 7 at state capitol If you’re interested in what state lawmakers have to say about the planned Jan. 1 statewide Medicaid transition to managed care, mark Dec. 7 on your calendar.

That’s the date of the Iowa State Senate’s Health Policy Oversight Committee is set to meet in the State Supreme Court chamber of the state capitol. The 10 a.m. meeting will allow lawmakers to address concerns about the upcoming transition, and should allow two Democratic senators to discuss this week’s trip to Washington, D.C., where they discussed concerns about the planned changes with Iowa Medicaid.

Medicaid showdown continues

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

HIGH

gan (D-Mason City) and Liz Mathis (D-Cedar Rapids) met with representatives of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services in Washington, D.C., and held a conference call with the media Wednesday morning.

Ragan, who is one of the Oversight Committee’s co-chairs, is still preparing the agenda for the Dec. 7 meeting. However, Ragan and Mathis will be as well-armed as ever with momentum to attempt to stall or reverse Gov. Terry Branstad’s executive decision to move Medicaid to an arrangement that contracts with four managed-care companies.

Jochum said the meeting with the officials was productive, and there are plans for federal officials to come to Iowa at about the same week as the Dec. 7 meeting to do some on-site audits.

“We met with them for about 75

minutes,” Jochum said. “They said they have serious concerns about there being an adequate network of providers. They have deep concerns about whether Iowa is really ready to do this.”

With the implementation set for Jan. 1, a federal intervention or other action will need to happen quickly.

Jochum said she is returning to Iowa feeling “somewhat positive” about how things will progress in the weeks ahead. She said the three Iowa senators, and the CMS are on the same page in terms of making it a priority to not allow any patients to suffer due to a lapse in coverage or care.

“Continuity of care is important so that no one falls through the cracks,” she said.

With extra funds available because of a grant received by the Newton Fire Department, the Newton City Council gave the go ahead to fund additional projects not currently in the budget.

In the 2015 Bond Issue, $200,000 was allocated for the purchase of a pumper/tanker of the fire department.

Following the department receiving the “AsKnabel sistance to Firefighter Grant” through Federal Emergency Management Agency, only $11,750 was needed for the purchase.

“The fire department found out that it had received a grant to cover the cost of the purchase,” city administrator Bob Knabel said. “That leaves roughly $188,000 of bonded proceeds that can be used for other purposes or to pay down the bond issue itself.”

The council had two options for the money, use it to pay down the bond issue or recommit the funds to other eligible projects. The council gave the consensus to move forward with projects which include a brush truck for the fire department, K9 vehicle for the police department, EMS software program and implementation, police department evidence system and processing software and equipment and ADA upgrades for city parks.

Fire Department Brush Truck The brush truck is a one ton pickup body with a flatbed brush fire attack unit. The vehicle is expected to cost a total of $90,000, with the city paying $55,000 after a $35,000 trade in.

The vehicle would serve multiple uses including off-road support for

Wellness Coalition First Avenue housing survey to be looking to provide conducted for rehabilitation grant snacks at schools

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Following a discussion at a previous meeting, the Newton Wellness Coalition took steps to move forward with the idea of providing snacks at the local schools.

Coalition member Jenny Thompson said the group had begun the process of applying for a grant from the United Way of Jasper County.

“Our goal is to provide snacks for all of the kindergarten students in the Newton community schools,” Thompson said.

The snacks would be for every kindergarten student, every day throughout the entire school year. The group also talked about a possible summer option for kids as well.

“We decided to pick

kindergarten to start their first year off in school on a good note,” coalition member Nathan Unsworth said.

A letter of intent for a $9,000 request was accepted and now the coalition will move forward with the application process. An evaluation is set to go out to current teachers asking questions about the snack program currently in place, the financial burden it can be on the teachers and if the teachers notice any hunger-related issues within the classroom.

The group is also working with the school to get an approximate number of students in kindergarten and ideas of what snacks would be acceptable.

Diabetes-friendly foods for the holidays

By Jenny Thompson RD, LD, CDE Skiff Medical Center The holidays are a time to gather with friends and family and — let’s be honest — enjoy all of your favorite holiday foods. But for someone with diabetes, the worry over calories and carbohydrates can cause a lot of unnecessary stress. Your HyVee dietitians have tips to help you enjoy your holiday favorites while keeping blood sugar stable.

First of all, a plan of attack is crucial. Keep the MyPlate method in mind as you fill your plate. Start by filling half the plate with nonstarchy vegetables such as green beans or dark leafy greens. Moving Thompson on to the rest of the plate, a quarter can be filled with starchy vegetables or grains — choose whole grains whenever possible. And finally, fill the last quarter of the plate with lean protein. A side of fruit and a serving of milk round out MyPlate. The American Association of Diabetes Educators have some great ideas to get you started: • Non-starchy vegetables: carrots, green beans, broccoli, salad, Brussels sprouts and asparagus are great options.

• Grains and starchy vegetables: sweet potatoes, mashed or baked potatoes, rice pilaf, or stuffing.

• Protein: choose 3 to 4 ounces of lean meat, remove skin from your turkey before eating.

In addition to balancing your plate, there are other steps you can take, such as being more mindful throughout the day. Start with a nutritious breakfast and include healthful snacks, rather than saving all of your carbs and calories for one large meal. Control your appetite to prevent overeating. When it comes time to fill the plate, survey your options, pick out your favorites, then decide what will go on the plate and in what amounts. If you have the option, a smaller plate can also help you control your intake.

If you are the guest at the holiday feast, bring a healthy side to share. Walking or being active with your friends and family members after a large meal can help control blood sugar levels. Planning ahead will prepare you to manage the day well.

Here is a delicious recipe to add to the menu, or bring to holiday gatherings.

Brussels Sprouts with Chestnuts and Sage 2 pounds Brussels sprouts, trimmed and halved 1 tbsp butter 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil 3 tbsp reduced-sodium chicken broth 3/4 c. coarsely chopped chestnuts (about 4 oz) 2 tsp chopped fresh sage 1/2 tsp salt Freshly ground pepper, to taste 1. Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add Brussels sprouts and cook until bright green and just tender, 6 to 8 minutes. Drain well.

2. Melt butter with oil and broth in a large skillet over medium heat. Add Brussels sprouts, chestnuts and sage and cook, stirring often, until heated

through, 2 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm or at room temperature.

3. To make ahead: Prepare through Step 1, cover and refrigerate for up to 8 hours.

4. Tip: You don’t need to prepare your own chestnuts for this dish. Cooked and peeled chestnuts are available in jars during the fall and winter months. Look for them in the baking aisle or near other seasonal food items.

Some facts about HIV in the United States The Associated Press Some facts about HIV, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: — About 1.2 million people in the United States, and 35 million people globally, are estimated to be living with HIV. — In the U.S., the CDC estimates nearly 13 percent of those people don’t know they’re infected.

— HIV is spread in the U.S. mainly through having unprotected sex or sharing injection-drug equipment with someone who has the virus.

— The CDC recommends that everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 have an HIV test at least once as part of routine health care, and that people seek out testing if they have such risk factors

as having had sex with someone whose HIV status they didn’t know.

— Cocktails of powerful medications have turned HIV into a manageable chronic disease for many people who can afford them. Those drugs also reduce the amount of HIV virus circulating in the body, what’s called the “viral load,” often to undetectable levels. That, in turn, reduces their chance of transmitting HIV to sexual partners, one reason that health officials urge early treatment.

— There is no vaccine. Condoms if used consistently and correctly are highly effective at preventing sexual transmission. Also, a daily pill sometimes is prescribed for healthy people to help prevent them from becoming infected by partners who have the virus, something called “pre-exposure prophylaxis.”

Fire and EMS Records Management Software Currently, the department is working on software that is licensed through a third party vendor that provides the software at a reduced rate. A problem with the reduced rate is that it does not allow for customization of the product resulting in duplication of efforts in certain areas.

The $40,000 software would be able to record patient information, including signatures, electronically while on scene and it will have the ability to import documents directly into patient care reports without printing and rescanning.

Police Department Evidence System and Processing Software

The Police Department currently uses a paper system for the logging and tracking of evidentiary items which requires a great deal of personnel time to continuously monitor and inventory. Evidence and other property in possession of the department is required to be purged or returned to the owner after a specified time period based on the level of crime the property is associated with, Knabel said.

An evidentiary software system at a cost of $10,000 would streamline the process and would automatically send the evidence technician alerts to purge or return property and also provide a court defensible and secure property and evidence log that tracks chain of command for court purposes. Currently this is done via paper and the loss of this documentation can be detrimental to court cases. The software would also

Currently, the baseball field, Eversman Field, the shelter at Woodland Park and the Kiwanis and South Shelter at Maytag Park do not meet ADA standards. Also, new playground equipment at Lincoln and Callison Parks will help make them more attractive to families.

Along with the snacks, the group is planning an educational component.

Ideas to provide education on the topic include wellness words with definitions the teacher could read allowed and a possible assembly focused on all elements of wellness.

Another idea from the group was to have the kids make a snack themselves on occasion, providing a hands on approach that can be an effective learning tool.

The first component of the grant application is due at the beginning of December with the final decision not coming until after the first of the new year. If approved, the coalition would work to provide the snacks for the 2016-2017 school year.

“It really is a need to be met in our community,” Thompson said.

Information collected from the survey will be used to apply for the block grant through the state of Iowa. If selected for the grant, funding would be provided for the housing rehabilitation program for the First Avenue West neighborhood.

Rehabilitation improvements may include roofing, foundation repair, window repair and/ or replacement, siding, electrical as well as heating and plumbing work.

“We are attempting to upgrade the appearance, the feel, the look and the curb appeal of First Avenue,” Armstrong said.

“I am grateful that we have the opportunity to come back and get ahead on additional projects, both with the investment in the software and also with some of the larger purchases that we always decide year by year what we can do,” council member Noreen Otto said. “It is nice that we have a sort of windfall that we can take advantage of and get ahead on some of these issues.”

Newton Director of Finance and Development Bryan Friedman has reviewed the chosen projects and determined they are eligible to funding through the 2015 Bond ordinance. The specific items will need to go before council before they are approved for purchase.

Politics don’t belong in refugee crisis conversation

By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | Nov. 19, 2015

Martin O’Malley is arguably the least aggressive out of the three candidates running for the Democratic party’s presidential nomination. But in Saturday’s debate at Drake University in Des Moines, the former Maryland governor made a comment that will hopefully come to define the national security issue of our time. O’Malley said we will defeat the Islamic State (ISIS) not despite of, but because of Muslim Americans and Muslim allies abroad.

He called on Muslim Americans to be a voice in the fight against the extremist group which has claimed responsibility for the Nov. 13 suicide bombings and mass shooting in Paris. But if we’re going to ask a group of people to be brave in their rhetoric and action, our political leaders must do the same.

More than 120 people were confirmed dead after the attacks and, according to CNN, more than 150 anti-terrorist raids have been conducted throughout France in the days since. The French government has responded

with a heavy bombing campaign against ISIS training camps and suspected munitions stockpiles in Syria. Although the response could be considered justified considering the barbarity of the Paris attacks, it will only add to the refugee crisis plaguing Europe and the refugee debate picking up political traction in the United States.

Monday, Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad was one of the latest state governors to voice concern for admitting Syrian refugees into the U.S. in fear that terrorists will use the opportunity to gain entrance to western countries. But Branstad and the growing coalition of governors cannot keep Syrian refugees from entering the state of Iowa or any other state in the union. They cannot treat state lines as a border checkpoint, as some political pundits have suggested. The placement and acceptance of refugees is the jurisdiction of the federal government, and refugees cannot be barred from settling where they choose once they’re in the U.S. The U.S. has a history of welcoming refugees. From those be-

ing displaced in Sudan to Burma, this county has a tradition of accepting those from embattled nations. According to statistics from the U.S. Department of State released in July 2014, the U.S. accepted 32,390 refugees from the Near East and South Asia region — which includes Syria and Yemen — from Jan. 1 to Sept. 30, 2013. The majority, 19,488, came from Iraq — a country known for its ISIS stronghold areas and home to many al-Qaeda members.

With ISIS’ newly shown aggression abroad, a more thorough vetting process should be put in place to ensure refugee backgrounds do not include ties to terrorist organizations or extremist activities, but the small number of terrorists who might try to use the refugee migration as cover to enter the U.S. and other industrialized nations pales in comparison to the suffering of the Syrian people — being attacked on multiple fronts by ISIS, Russian bombardment, collateral damage from the U.S. led coalition air campaign and their own

totalitarian government.

Some have even suggested only allowing Christian refugees into the U.S., assuming the Syrian religious minority would pose less of a terrorist risk. But discriminating against a person due to their ethnicity or religion isn’t an American value, nor should it become one. The majority of Muslims do not subscribe to the violence perpetuated by a small few who commit these acts in the religion’s name.

These human beings deserve safe harbor, and we cannot stand idly by and let the suffering of children and innocent families continue when we have the humanitarian capability to help fellow citizens of the earth. If we want to lead the community of nations, we have to set the example of what is morally right in our neighborhood. Doing what’s right for the refugees is how to defeat extremists, it’s how to defeat an ideology.

Congrats to the Newton YMCA John D. McNeer Newton I had the privilege of attending the colorful ribbon cutting of the “new and improved” YMCA Tuesday ... and what a nice turnout for a rainy evening.

Reminiscing with some friends, I pointed out the large die cast recognition board at the front entrance dating back to 1976 when our YMCA moved from the old downtown loca-

New guide highlights three holiday scams to watch out for

Mary Muehl AARP Iowa Executive Council Member While the holidays are known as the season of giving, for con artists, it’s the season of taking.

To help protect Iowans from holiday scammers, the AARP Fraud Watch Network is cautioning consumers to be on the lookout for the three most common holiday scams: online shopping scams, gift card fraud and fake charities.

Iowans can arm themselves with the tools they need to outsmart con artists before getting scammed with a free, online resource guide found at www.aarp. org/holidayscams. Here are a few of the tips about holiday scams the guide provides: Protect Yourself from Online Shopping Scams Scammers mimic or slightly

tion. It had served our community well since 1926. Literally hundreds of contributors were responsible for this great new structure, which also encompassed the Newton Community Theatre.

Now, nearly 40 years later, after several updates, our YMCA can proudly show off the many new additions, with a ton of new exercise equipment. Quite frankly, like several oldtimers, I was just a bit overwhelmed by all this fancy new stuff, because the old seemed to be sufficient.

But, wow ... this new improved atmosphere is something to behold. In retrospect, we have graduated from “sufficient” to what I would classify as “super-sophisticated” and well worthwhile. This wellplanned updating has been carried forward in fine fashion.

As an individual who heads to the Y in the early morning hours five days a week, I do sincerely appreciate what had been accomplished by such a dedicated staff and board of directors.

alter a website domain name of a well-known retailer and launch a copycat site in its place, promising great deals on hot ticket items. Your best bet to stay safe: Don’t click on a link from an email or social media site unless you are absolutely sure the message is from a legitimate business.

And, before making a purchase, do an online search for the “vendor name + scam.” For all online shopping, always confirm that the web address for the payment page starts with “https”.

Prevent Gift Card Fraud Gift cards are popular presents, but can be easily compromised by thieves who access card numbers and authorization codes off cards on a store rack. With that information, they can drain the funds on the cards leaving the card recipient with a zero balance. If you buy your gift card off a rack, ask the cashier to activate the card and verify the balance. Be sure to keep your receipt in case there are any issues.

How to Spot Fake Charities December is a prime month for charitable giving and scammers will take advantage of your generosity, and your hard-earned dollars, by creating a fake charity or by falsely representing a well-known group. Before making any donation, always verify an organization through charitynavigator.org or the Better Business Bureau (bbb.org).

For more information on preventing holiday scams from striking or a number of other scam and fraud topics, the AARP Iowa Fraud Watch Network has more than two dozen Fraud Watch Network volunteer educators available to make presentations in your community.

It was Thanksgiving Day, 1944. Petty Officer Dean Dixon, from Bloomfield was on duty aboard the submarine, U S S Hamm e r head, in the S o u t h By Curt Swarm C h i - Guest Columnist na Sea. They were trying to evade depth charges dropped by a Japanese Destroyer after they had sunk a Japanese freighter delivering munitions. It was a deadly, stressful game of cat-and-mouse.

As a machinist mate, it was Dean Dixon’s job to seal off compartments, put out fires and make emergency repairs. Each of the 77 men on board knew what fate could await them on the murky bottoms of the South China Sea, but they were also dedicated to serving their country in time of need.

It had been 18 days since Dean, or any of the other sailors aboard the Hammerhead, including the captain, had taken a shower. They would reach 42.

Precious fresh water could only be used for cooking, drinking or brushing teeth.

The one shower they had was used as a spud locker.

The fumes of diesel fuel, charging batteries, and each others bodies, made for ripe, stifling conditions in the 100 degree heat. They were jokingly referred to as “sewer-pipe sailors on pig boats.” There were no doors on the two toilets aboard the Hammerhead.

But they had a bed to sleep in at night, instead of having to crawl around in the dirt somewhere, and for that they were thankful.

The bonds they formed with each other would last a lifetime.

An explosion off the bow rocked the Hammerhead, but she held true.

Dean Dixon’s mind returned to Thanksgivings when he was a little boy in Bloomfield. It was the

1930s, and the U.S. was in the grip of the Great Depression. If you walked down main street and collected money from twenty people, you couldn’t have scared up five dollars. Davis County had a practice of throwing live turkeys out of a second story window of the courthouse to people gathered below. The county would throw out 12 or 15 turkeys, and any eager person who caught one could take it home for Thanksgiving dinner. Dean wanted a turkey in the worst way. But he was only eight or nine years old, and too small to compete with the longer arms of the adults.

However, after all the turkeys were thrown out, the county tossed out fifty-cent pieces. The crowd outside the majestic, stately Davis County Courthouse went wild. Dean tried desperately to catch a 50-cent piece, or scramble for any that hit the ground. One 50-cent piece bounced off a couple pair of hands, and hit the ground in front of Dean.

He dove for it, but a skinny farmer in bib overalls grabbed it up first. “Sorry, Sonny,” was all the farmer said. Times were tough.

People think the economy is bad now, but it’s nothing compared to the Great Depression.

An alert sounded.

Lookouts on the Hammerhead had spotted a lone figure aboard a tiny raft in the middle of the South China Sea. It turned out to be the sole survivor, the navigator of a ten-man crew from an American B-24. Sailors on the Hammerhead pulled the halfstarved, sunburned, dehydrated Lieutenant aboard.

He had been in the water three days, and had drifted 300 miles. The Lieutenant stared at the crew in disbelief. They were not in uniform, were dressed in skivvies, including the captain, and smelled badly. They searched for two days for any other survivors of the downed aircraft, but found none.

Dean Dixon, of Bloomfield, will be 92 in January.

His wife, Dorothy, is 89.

Feelings hurt in high school linger long after graduation

DEAR ABBY: I loved the letter from “Ready for the Reunion” ( July 31), who wondered why some people in her high school graduating class didn’t respond to the notice of the reunion. Some of us would like to completely forget high school and everything associated with it.

I missed my 10th, 20th, 30th and 40th year reunions. I did consider going to the last one, but then I started reading my former classmates’ posts on the reunion website. It seems everyone is retired, wealthy, has numerous grandchildren, at least one retirement home in an exotic locale and spends their time relaxing and jetting around (or so they say). I’m still working, not wealthy, not particularly successful and have moved from my home state to the backwoods of middle America. Basically, I have a boring life, so I have nothing to brag about. I didn’t go.

I’m still in contact with the important people in my life from high school and just don’t need the aggravation of attending a reunion. — STAYING HOME DEAR STAYING: Thank you for your input. I received a large number of responses to that letter, many of which were emotionally charged: DEAR ABBY: My class just had its 45th reunion. I live 20 miles away, but have never attended one and I never will.

My best friend and I were bullied, insulted and excluded by our high school peers. After 45 years, we are still close friends. Neither of us has any desire to see any of those people ever again.

High school was a miserable experience for us, and we couldn’t wait to graduate and go off to college. Why would we want to socialize with them now? We forgave them long ago, but have no desire to relive those days.

People need to realize that sometimes we move on and don’t need to revisit the past. — CAROL IN GEORGIA DEAR ABBY: My high school experience was traumatic to the point that it put me in therapy. People who

look forward to these things look back on their high school days with fondness. I’m guessing that’s because they weren’t picked on for being fat, not coming from a rich family or being a minority.

I would rather walk barefoot across broken glass than spend another minute with my high school class. I ignore the invitations because my mother taught me if I can’t say anything nice, I should say nothing at all. — RAY IN SCOTTSDALE, ARIZ. DEAR ABBY: Successful turnouts often occur as a result of personal outreach from the committee. A personalized note, phone call or other kind of targeted communication (“Dear Susie, we’d love to see you again. Please come.”) will make a difference to an alum. — FORMER REUNION PLANNER IN WASHINGTON DEAR ABBY: Of the 280 missing students, for a quarter of them to be deceased would be par for the course. “Ready” should create a Facebook Groups page for her high school graduating class. Ours is very popular — 35 percent of our former classmates are already part of it. — PETER IN NAPLES, FLA. DEAR ABBY: It is possible that many of the graduates never received the invitation. Email contact information, phone numbers and addresses change often. I didn’t receive anything about my 10-year reunion, but a few of my friends said they did. I can’t respond to an invitation I didn’t receive.

Sioux City airport board endorses United Airlines as SIOUX CITY — The Sioux City Gateway Airport Board of Trustees has endorsed United Airlines’ bid to replace American Airlines as the airport’s only carrier. United and American are competing for a two-year federal contract to fly at least 13 routes per week between Sioux City and Chicago O’Hare International Airport. United asked for a subsidy of about $324,000 per year.

IOWA CITY — Gov. Terry Branstad’s spokesman is refusing to say whether he supports his appointees’ decision to withhold funding earmarked for two energy research centers.

The Iowa Utilities Board is holding $5.1 million collected from electric and gas utilities that is legislatively mandated to support the Iowa Energy Center at Iowa State University and the Center for Global and Regional Environmental Research at the University of Iowa. It’s typically transferred by mid-September.

Bettendorf seeks funds to buy homes in flood zones BETTENDORF — Bettendorf officials are seeking federal funding that would allow the city to buy and demolish homes in flood zones. Bettendorf City Planner John Soenksen presented the plan to apply for Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds to aldermen on Monday. To apply for the funds, the city must match 15 percent of the funds, or $252,000. The aldermen authorized the money on Tuesday.

The application process is overseen by the Department of Homeland Security.

Man jailed on hate crime charge in beating of black Iowa man CEDAR RAPIDS — A white felon with Nazi tattoos was jailed Wednesday on a federal hate crime charge alleging he stomped on the face of a semi-conscious black man at a northeastern Iowa bar last winter.

Randy Joe Metcalf, 40, of Dubuque, made an initial appearance at the federal courthouse in Cedar Rapids. U.S. Magistrate Judge Jon Scoles ordered him jailed pending a detention hearing Friday.

Metcalf has pleaded not guilty to two state counts of felony assault in the beating

that left Lamarr Sandridge, 31, with a broken right eye socket and numerous scrapes and bruises on his face. Metcalf was free on bond Tuesday when authorities arrested him on the hate crime complaint.

His attorney in the state case, Scott Nelson, has denied the brawl — in which Metcalf allegedly beat Sandridge and one of Sandridge’s white companions when she tried to intervene— was racially motivated. The public defender’s office will represent Metcalf in federal court.

An affidavit signed by FBI special agent Thomas Reinwart paints Metcalf as a white

supremacist sympathizer who showed off his swastika tattoos and repeatedly used racial slurs toward Sandridge and two white female friends in the Jan. 12 attack at the North Side Bar in Dubuque.

Metcalf had been drinking with his fiancee for several hours before they got into an argument with Sandridge’s group over the jukebox.

Metcalf directed racial slurs toward Sandridge and the women, eventually leading to a brawl that was captured on surveillance video, the complaint said.

A white acquaintance of Metcalf, 41-year-old Jeremy

Casey city clerk charged with fraud, burning down City Hall DES MOINES (AP) — The former city clerk for the small western Iowa city of Casey has been indicted on federal charges alleging she used city funds for personal use and burned down City Hall the night before state auditors were to arrive to investigate missing money, prosecutors said Wednesday.

Dorothy Dillinger was indicted on five counts of mail fraud and one count of malicious use of fire, federal court records filed Tuesday in Des Moines show. She is scheduled to appear in court Nov. 30.

The records don’t list an attorney for her, and Dillinger could not be reached Wednesday. She has moved to Prairie City, but has no apparent listed telephone number.

Dillinger served as the city clerk for 30 years in Casey, which is about

50 miles west of Des Moines.

From about 2009 through August 2014, Dillinger used the city’s credit card to buy personal items valued at more than $54,000 from Walmart, Target, Victoria’s Secret and Avon, the indictment said. She covered up the purchases by providing the city council a false list of bills and disbursements.

When auditors were due to investigate the clerk’s office in 2014, Dillinger attempted to destroy the community building in Casey housing the city’s office on Aug. 19 or Aug. 20, the indictment said.

Dillinger was fired after admitting in a written statement released eight days after the blaze that she told fire investigators she’d begun taking money as early as 2006.

her out. Kiene suffered a fractured right cheek bone.

Metcalf later used a racial epithet to describe Sandridge, saying, “He got what he had coming,” Reinwart wrote.

Metcalf had earlier displayed a large swastika tattoo on his abdomen, telling Jeremy Sanders: “This is what I’m about.” Another tattoo on his shoulder shows a swastika on a skull. Metcalf also has a tattoo on his chest that reads “FRYS” — the name of an Iowa prison gang linked to the white supremacist movement, Reinwart wrote.

School leader repays $2,800 in district card purchases LAWTON (AP) — A northwest Iowa school district is facing scrutiny after an administrator purchased thousands of dollars’ worth of food and alcohol, and reimbursed staff members without receipts.

It made an inquiry into a $297 celebratory meal that Superintendent Jeff Thelander charged to the Lawton-Bronson School District credit card last September.

Thelander said the meal at Sioux City steakhouse was a “thank you” for the researcher’s participation in a school event.

After the inquiry, Thelander repaid the school district for $2,800 for reimbursed food and alcohol purchases for which he had no receipts. The superintendent said he

had lost many of his receipts for the restaurant and gas purchases made with the district card.

State Deputy Auditor Tami Kusian said she “doesn’t know of any public purpose” to buy alcohol with school district money.

The superintendent said the purchases were appropriate, but feels bad about the loss of the receipts.

“I feel terrible about it. It’s a hard thing to explain to your family, and it was a very hard and expensive lesson,” he said.

Board President Steve Olson said “I will be the first to admit that mistakes were made by both Mr. Thelander and the board during the past year.” According to Olson, the mistakes were identified and promptly and appropri-

ately addressed.

Kimberly Brouwer, the district’s business manager, said that expense totals that appeared on card statements were looked over each month.

Brouwer said that “Typically I would know what the majority of his purchases were without needing to ask, but if there was something I didn’t remember or something that was a larger dollar amount, I would ask for clarification.”

According to district expenses, administrators would also often purchase lunches as a thank you for staff members for extra work that they did, or to help motivate the staff.

Thelander said that “It was a small token, a thank you for that work that was done.”

Dillinger, who is now 60, apologized “for all the wrongs I have done and abusing your trust.”

State auditors released a report this August saying they found improper and unsupported disbursements from city funds and utility payments that were never deposited into city accounts between July 2008 and October 2014.

Because the fire destroyed records, auditors said they were unable to determine if anything improper happened before 2008. They estimated the city’s loss from improper spending at $300,000.

“The past at least nine years, I have taken funds that were not mine to take,” Dillinger wrote in 2014. “I have no excuse.

I hope you will all forgive me, if you don’t, I will understand.”

M. Sanders, put Sandridge in a headlock. His son, Joseph Sanders, 21, repeatedly punched Sandridge in the face until he was motionless on the ground. Metcalf then kicked and stomped on Sandridge’s face and head until the bartender pushed him off and told everyone to leave.

By then, court documents say, Sandridge was “in a semi-conscious state” on the floor. However, Metcalf again kicked and stomped on his face before he was pushed away by Sarah Kiene.

Metcalf hit the 29-year-old woman in the face with the back of his hand, knocking

Red Cross urges caution heating homes as weather gets colder Newton Daily News DES MOINES — The American Red Cross responds to nearly 70,000 disasters a year — one every eight minutes — and most are home fires. Since Nov. 13, Iowa Red Cross volunteers have responded to 15 homes fires in Lamoni, Centerville, Des Moines, Denison, Libertyville, Hampton, Albert City, Strawberry Point, Dubuque, Charles City, Ogden and Cedar Rapids.

As temperatures start to dip across Iowa this week, the Red Cross urges families to be cautious when using space heaters and other heating sources and to make a plan in case of a home fire. Heating sources are the second leading cause of home fire deaths, and fatal home fires increase during the winter months.

“In just four days Red Cross volunteers have offered help and hope to 64 Iowans,” said Julie Struck, Regional Disaster Officer for the Iowa Region of the Red Cross. “But the good news is that there are

steps you can take when using heating equipment to reduce your risk of a home fire.”

Heat sources such as space heaters, fireplaces or wood and coal stoves can pose a fire hazard, and fatal fires peak in the early morning hours when most people are sleeping. To reduce the risk of heating related fires, the Red Cross recommends the following tips: • All heaters need space. Keep children, pets and things that can burn (paper, matches, bedding, furniture, clothing, carpets and rugs) at least three feet away from heating equipment.

• Never leave a fire in the fireplace unattended, and use a glass or metal fire screen to keep fire and embers in the fireplace.

• Never use a cooking range or oven to heat your home.

• Turn off portable space heaters every time you leave the room or go to sleep.

• Have wood and coal stoves, fireplaces, and chimneys inspected annually by a profes-

sional, and cleaned if necessary.

• If you must use a space heater, place it on a level, hard and nonflammable surface (such as ceramic tile floor), not on rugs, or carpets or near bedding or drapes. Plug power cords directly into outlets and never into an extension cord.

Red Cross Apps People can learn how to help prevent a home fire and what to do if one occurs by downloading the Red Cross Emergency App. They can use the app’s Family Safe feature to help stay in touch with loved ones. Children can earn points and incentives in a fun, gaming environment while learning how to prevent a home fire and other emergencies in the Monster Guard: Prepare for Emergencies App. The First Aid App provides expert advice including what to do for burns, broken bones and breathing and cardiac emergencies. The apps can be downloaded for free in app stores or at redcross.org/apps.

Newton’s Jenkins signs to play Creighton softball

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Versatility is a premium for any athlete.

Newton High senior Sydney Jenkins has versatility in spades, especially on the softball diamond. The multi-sport athlete thrives in the swimming pool, on the basketball court, on the track and on the diamond, but it was no surprise Jenkins chose softball as the sport in which she wanted to further her athletic career.

On Wednesday, Jenkins signed a national letter of intent to play NCAA Division I softball for the Creighton Blue Jays in Omaha, Neb. Creighton enters its third season as a member of the Big East Conference under longtime head coach Brent Vigness.

Vigness is an Iowa native, who graduated from Central College in Pella. Jenkins’ parents Wendy and Pete Jenkins of Newton are Central College graduates. Wendy Jenkins was a multi-sport athlete at NHS before playing two sports — one of which was softball — at Central.

“When I went to one of the softball camps at Creighton, I really liked the coaching style of their staff. It was much like what I had grown up with in softball,” Jenkins said. “I went for a visit and felt at home in their program and on their campus. You have the bigtown feel with Omaha, but the small-town feel on the Creighton campus.”

Jenkins began her career for Newton Cardinal softball behind the plate. She earned Little Hawkeye Conference, all-district and all-state honors as a catcher as a freshman and sophomore. Jenkins switched to shortstop for the 2014 season, and still earned all-conference, all-district and all-state honors as a player.

“They recruited me as an utility player. When they had

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Sydney Jenkins signs her national letter of intent to play NCAA Division I softball for Creighton in Omaha, Neb., next year. On hand for Wednesday’s signing were her parents, seated, Wendy and Pete Jenkins, and standing, her sister Lakin, and Newton High head softball coach Kristina McNew.

me at the camps, they had me focus on infield and outfield,” Jenkins said. “I think my best position is in the outfield. I’ve got good range and can track the ball pretty well.”

Jenkins has speed. In her four years — with one more season remaining — for Newton High, Jenkins is 60-of-68 in stolen base attempts. She has an on-base average of .524.

“I can hit with power, and I have speed. I believe with that combination I can help the Creighton team in whatever position they want me to play,” she said.

Jenkins has led the Cardinals in hitting for three consecutive seasons. She has an overall batting average for

high school softball of .437 and a slugging average of .650. She has 113 singles, 29 doubles, 14 triples and seven home runs in four years. Jenkins has scored 111 runs and driven in 82 runs.

Jenkins’ .500 batting average was 10th best in Class 4A in 2015. She owned a .830 slugging percentage, which was seventh best in 4A, and a fifth-best .597 on-base percentage in 4A. “Growing up, I never really knew what sport I wanted to do. It was kind of hard to make up my mind which sport I’d pursue past high school. Once I started playing club softball, I realized softball was the one I wanted to

do,” Jenkins said.

Jenkins has played on an 18-and-under club softball team the past two years with similar offensive numbers.

Jenkins said she visited six or seven other schools including several other Division I programs at South Dakota State, Bradley, Iowa State and Division II’s Truman State.

Jenkins has been a standout for the Newton/Colfax-Mingo/Pella high school swim team. She is a four-time state swim meet qualifier, holds the NCMP record in the 100 backstroke and is on two NCMP record-holding relays — 200 medley and 400 freestyle. She was a team captain this fall.

In basketball, Jenkins has garnered Little Hawkeye Conference honors the past two season. She is a three-time state track meet qualifier. Jenkins is the LHC two-time indoor champion in the 200-meter dash and 400-meter dash and is on the NHS school-record 1,600-meter relay.

Jenkins said she plans to become an optometrist and will major in the science field at Creighton. She is a NHS National Honor Society member and has earned academic all-state honors the past three years.

Twenty-one area athletes land on 2A District 7 football squad

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Prairie City-Monroe’s football team made marked improvements in turnover margin this past season, and that helped the Mustangs climb to the runner-up position in Class 2A District 7.

For their efforts, 13 Mustangs were named to the all-district squads that McFadden were recently released. Seven of those players landed on the first team, while the other six were second-team selections.

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter battled injuries and suspensions one year after finishing 9-0 in the regular season but still made the playoffs as the four seed.

The Raiders had four firstteam choices and four second-team honorees.

Leading the way for the Mustangs were unanimous selections Luke Greiner, Chase Wilkie and Ethan Thomas, while CMB junior Archer McFadden also was a unanimous first-team choice.

Other first-team selections for PCM included senior quarterback Logan Gilman, tight end Noah Clark, defensive lineman Clayton Welch and linebacker Reid Jenkins.

Second-team picks for the Mustangs included running back Logan Littrell, offensive lineman James Sno-

dgrass, wide receiver Tyler Dredge, defensive lineman Leevi Telfer, linebacker Austin Sneller and defensive back Sheldon Speers.

Joining McFadden, a junior offensive lineman, on the first-team for the Raiders was senior wide receiver Brady Stover, junior tailback Blake Coughenour and senior linebacker Hunter Gunderson.

CMB’s second-team selections included senior quarterback Nate Bishop, junior offensive lineman Toren Schultheis, senior linebacker Charles Robertson and junior defensive back Tucker Maxwell.

Top-ranked Albia went through the regular season undefeated and advanced all the way to the 2A state semifinals where it was defeated by Mount Vernon.

The Blue Demons claimed all three major all-district awards. Carter Isley was the Offensive Player of the Year, Blake Lawless was the Defensive Player of the Year and head coach Jerry Staton was the Coach of the Year.

PCM (7-3) lost only to Albia in district play.

North Polk was third in district play, losing to both Albia and PCM. CMB (5-5) was fourth with losses to Albia, PCM and North Polk.

Greiner had a breakout season for the Mustangs in his first season as the main receiving target.

ALL-DISTRICT | 2B

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior offensive lineman Ethan Thomas, center, was one of four area players selected unanimously to the Class 2A District first team this season. Carrying the ball to Thomas’ right is senior Logan Littrell, who was named a second-team selection at running back.

Woman reports rape at Nebraska standouts’ home LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Police said Tuesday they were investigating a report of a sexual assault at the residence of Nebraska quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr. and standout receiver Jordan Westerkamp.

Officer Katie Flood said a 20-year-old woman went to a Lincoln hospital Sunday afternoon and said she had been raped.

The woman told police she knows the suspect, and Flood said that person was contacted.

Armstrong told the Omaha World-Herald that he, Westerkamp and another roommate, tight end Trey Foster, have spoken with police.

“After talking to us, (the police) said you guys should be fine,” he said.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe wide receiver Luke Greiner, left, and kicker Chase Wilkie, right, earned unanimous first-team honors in Class 2A District 7 this season. Greiner had 51 catches and 12 receiving touchdowns to lead the PCM offense, while Wilkie was a perfect 3-for-3 in field goals and almost half of his kickoffs went for touchbacks.

All-District Continued from Page 1B

The junior wideout was among the best in 2A with 51 catches, 771 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns this season.

Thomas was the best offensive lineman for a Mustang unit that scored more than 30 points per game. He also helped protect Gilman, who threw for 2,003 yards this season.

Gilman’s total passing yards and 21 touchdown passes were in the top three of 2A this season.

Wilkie was a unanimous selection at kicker partly because he went 3-for-3 in field goals and was 38-of-41 in extra points.

However, it was Wilkie’s ability to kick the ball into the end zone on kickoffs that separated him from the rest of the kickers in the district.

After Week 7’s win over Clarke, Wilkie led all of 2A with 23 touchbacks. He nearly kicked it into the end zone 50 percent of the time on kickoffs.

Like Greiner, Clark also broke out as a receiver this year for the Mustangs. He hauled

Gunderson McFadden garnered unanimous first-team honors after leading an offensive line that helped the Raiders rush for 1,815 yards.

Stover was a lynchpin for the Raiders, who started 4-0 but lost four of their final five regular season games because of injuries and suspensions.

Stover led CMB with 54 catches, 677 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.

Stover ran for 284 yards and four scores and also threw a

touchdown pass.

Coughenour was one of the best tailbacks in 2A until a suspension and a season-ending injury derailed his season.

Coughenour still gained 711 rushing yards and scored 12 rushing touchdowns in a little more than four games.

The junior tailback also had 211 receiving yards and three touchdown receptions.

Gunderson was second on the Raiders team in tackles with 36.5.

Gunderson had two sacks, 5.5 tackles for loss and two pass breakups from his linebacker position.

Robertson’s second-team honor was because of his team-leading 38.5 tackles and his 7.5 tackles for loss.

Maxwell, who also missed time because of a suspension, had 18.5 tackles, one sack and one tackle for loss.

Bishop took over at quarterback full-time when Hunter McWhirter went down with an injury.

Bishop finished 97-of183 for 1,172 yards and nine touchdowns through the air.

Astrograph

People get antsy when they want too much or promise too much. The good news is that the dynamic can be avoided even as the Pisces moon stirs things up with Saturn. A cozy position to Neptune later in the day suggests that we can avoid trouble and eliminate conflict through the power of reasonable expectations.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 19). The happy truth is that what’s important to do will also be fun as you head into this new era. Your personal life will blossom in December and you’ll grow to accommodate the change. In February you’ll re-connect with people

from the past. You’ll be favored in a trade. A conservative, long-term plan will pay off in 2016. Capricorn and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 36, 13, 29 and 4.

way to push the boundaries.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

There are intelligent people around you and -- bonus -they are smart in the way you most appreciate. The feedback you’ll receive is likely to be constructive and helpful.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Good people around you do not want to trouble you and are too nice to let you know if something is wrong. So it’s on you to check in and make sure all is well.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’ll experience a win with your whole team. Celebrate as a group. Later, privately consider how you contributed. You deserve individual acknowledgement, even if it only comes from you.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Some of the rules feel more like guidelines to you -- others feel like mere suggestions.

You’ll find the most creative

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It will take more than the usual effort to get your head in the right place to do your work. An inspiring Scorpio could help to

motivate you, though nothing will motivate you more than needing a paycheck.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

People want to share with you. Though you may not need much of what they have to share, accept these gifts to keep the channel of abundance open and flowing.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Your fortune can change or solidify at any moment. There is power in each decision you make. Success depends on making the kinds of choices you’ll want to build on.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re not just a cog in the wheel of commerce, you know. You’re a part of nature.

Wide-open spaces breathe fresh air into your thoughts and clear the cobwebs of your mind.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You can’t relate to those who have become embittered by their trials. If anything, the troubles you have experienced have given you a more compassionate outlook.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Considering the amount of work they create for you, it might be hard for you to believe that people wish you well and want to help you. Remember, you’re the one who chooses what to take on.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Those who are supposedly “in the know” will be eager to impart their knowledge on you. If the information is true and actionable, those who teach it should be living it, too. Are they?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’re thinking of making a change in your appearance. If you look the part, others might just assume it’s who you are -- and that includes you. The outer change will spark an inner transformation.
