Family files lawsuit against Sully Truck Wash

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Kate Malott/Daily News Three of St. Nicks Christmas Club’s elves, Sandy McGee, Pat Coady and Pauley Malson, work Monday morning at their workshop to help organize toys and clothes for hundreds of families in need this holiday. Sixty families have yet to be adopted this Christmas and the organization is in need of help as time is running out before Christmas.

Adoptions, donations low as St. Nick’s Christmas Club works to support Jasper County families Newton Daily News The St. Nicks Christmas Club volunteers are seeking additional community support as adoptions and donations are down for the first time in the groups 26-year history.

Club Treasurer Lisa McKinney said more than 160 children remain to be adopted from the group’s “adoption” book and funds are running low.

“We have 167 children from 61 families that have yet to be adopted,” McKinney said. “The group has taken on many of the large families with four or more children, but donations are extremely low and we do not know how we will pay for the remaining families and the food boxes which cost $7,500 annually. We need support to make sure 650

children in Jasper County receive Christmas this year.”

To ensure all 220 Jasper County families who registered for the program in 2014 are served, the group is asking for support either through adoptions or by making a cash donation.

Those wishing to adopt a family can do so by visiting the Newton Daily News from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The book will be available through Friday.

“Adopting a family is a lot of fun,” said McKinney, who has been involved with the group for nearly a decade. “It is a great way to share the true meaning of Christmas with your children or grandchildren by letting them help shop and give to a child who may not have presents under their tree Christmas morn-

ing.”

Each child adopted receives a new outfit, socks, underwear and a toy, and each family receives a box of food including hamburger, hams, potatoes, cereal, vegetables and other staples to help them through the holidays.

For those wanting to help but unable to shop for a family, cash donations can be mailed to St. Nick’s Christmas Club, PO Box 162, Newton, Iowa 50208.

Those seeking a tax-deductible receipt can make the check payable to Jasper Community Foundation and earmark the funds to St. Nick’s.

To help raise funds the Club also established an online fundraising site that accepts debit and credit card donations. To

A lawsuit was filed by the family of a man who died while working at the Sully Truck Wash last January. The Sully Truck Wash and Brent Vander Molen are being sued by the family of Willie Mercer. The lawsuit includes negligence against the truck wash, gross negligence against Vander Molen and damages.

Mercer was one of three men found unconscious inside a tanker trailer Jan. 21, 2014. He died and two others were hospitalized when they were overcome by fumes.

“Willie’s death and the damage it has caused his family could have been prevented if Sully Truck Wash would have simply just followed the OSHA requirements.

Instead they completely ignored the confined

space requirements which resulted in Willie’s death,” Corey J. L. Walker, attorney for the family said.

The truck wash, 10683 Highway F62 E. in Sully, previously faced four serious violations from the Occupational Safety and Health Bureau (OSHA) for this incident including: • Not evaluating the workplace to determine if any spaces were permit-required confined spaces • Not informing exposed employees, by posting danger signs or by any other equally effective means of the existence and location of and the danger posed by the permit spaces.

• Not having the employer develop and implement a written permit space entry program that complied with code.

City approves agreement with Hubbell for Maytag buildings

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Newton City Council has approved a preliminary development agreement with Hubbell Realty Company for a $7 million apartment project at two former Maytag buildings. The agreement is subject to the tax credit approval Hubbell hopes to receive from the state.

Hubbell aims to renovate the property, located at 403 W. Fourth St. N., commonly known as Maytag buildings 1 and 2.

The city committed $250,000 in TIF grant money to the project upon completion of construction during a special meeting last week.

It would also provide 11 years of TIF District payments of $30,000

per year, which would mostly come from the new tax value crated by the project. The net total amount the city would pay is $478,000, which is comparable to the other two downtown housing projects the city is involved in.

Kris Saddoris, vice president of development for Hubbell, said APPROVAL | 3A

In Brief Board releases current Newton housing statistics

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Mother and daughter team Kim Van Ryswyk and Abbi Uitermarkt started holding crafting classes at the beginning of the month in the new location of Social Crafting, 109 E. Marion St., Monroe.

Social Crafting making roots in Monroe

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Two mother-daughter combinations attended a group crafting event two years ago, had a lot of fun and spurred the creation of Social Crafting.

Abbi Uitermarkt with mother Kim Van Ryswyk and Arica Brinegar with mother Paula Perrin began holding their own classes in various locations in February 2013 and almost two years later opened a shop of their own at 109 E. Marion St. in Monroe.

“We went to (a social crafting class) in Des Moines and thought we could do it,” Uitermarkt said.

The group began holding classes in wineries, restaurants, nursing homes and even a radio station. They were in towns across Jasper and Marion counties including Newton, Pella, Sully and Oskaloosa. One of the first classes they held was at El Sombrero in Newton.

Van Ryswyk said they had a great group who gathered frequently for a get together and fun craft project.

Although canvas painting is the most popular craft, the group also makes wreaths, jewelry, paints wine glasses, knits and crochets. Seasonal and holiday crafts are popular along with children’s crafts, which they hope to do at least once a month They are also willing to do special requests.

“Pretty much any do-ityourself craft you see on Pinterest we could do,” Uitermarkt said. “If they want to do something we will figure out how to do it.”

The projects range in price with canvas painting in the $25 to $30 range. Social Crafting has a deal set up for hosts if they have six or more people at an event, the host crafts for free.

It was a chance meeting that led them to settle down in a location. Uitermarkt had been keeping her eye out and while in town she ran into the owner if the building they are currently in. She asked about the space and was told the current tenants were leaving mid-November. After looking at the space she knew it would be perfect

and a couple short weeks later they were in.

Although they are just getting started in the new space, they have a lot of plans for the future. A studio night is an event they hope to have in the future, featuring artists and their work in a gallery setting.

They also hope to offer memberships, lockers for customers to keep their supplies and eventually retail in the front of the building, in a boutique setting.

A unique opportunity they hope to offer is an area for people to gather and craft together, in a cozy area within the shop.

As mothers themselves, they know it can be hard to find time to work on crafts and space to keep supplies. This space will offer an opportunity to work on projects while sharing and learning with other crafters.

A Dec. 19 open house is being planned for the business with Santa as a special guest and an ornament craft for children to make.

All adoptions should be delivered by Dec. 12 to St. Stephen’s Church to ensure distribution to the families in time for the Christmas holiday. Monetary donations are accepted until Dec. 19.

“Donations are very low and we are not sure how we can cover the cost of the remaining families,” McKinney said. “The community has always ensured St. Nick’s Christmas Club can help families in need and I know they will come through again.

For club members, we really do believe there is a Santa Claus, because of the generous people of Jasper County.”

The apartment complex would house 42 apartment units — 31 one bedroom apartments and 11 two bedroom apartments.

Twenty-six of the apartments would be geared toward people with incomes in the 60 percent area of the median. That is approximately $26,100 per year for a single person. The amount increases to $37,260 for a four-person household. Not including utilities, the projected rent would range from $515 to

$604 for a one bedroom and $575 to $723 for a two bedroom apartment.

Seven units would be for incomes in the 40 percent area of the median and three units in the 30 percent area of the median.

The remaining six apartments would not have an income restriction and would be rented at market rates.

“We are a firm believer we like to see a variety of units in our projects and we’ve done that in a lot of our redevelopment and this is one that will be very similar,” Saddoris said.

URBANDALE — Ten-year-old Ryan has been dealing with seizures for a long time that have had a significant impact on his life. In fact, the seizure disorder qualified him for something special — Ryan made a wish to have a 2014 John Deere XUV 550 Gator utility vehicle and MakeA-Wish Iowa made his wish come true.

“We granted 153 wishes in our last fiscal year and are anticipating granting 185 in our current year – that’s about a wish every other day,” said Jamie Rasko, Communications Manager for Make-A-Wish Iowa. “The bulk of interactions that happen between Make-A-Wish and our wish families are actually done through local wish granting volunteers.”

Wish granting volunteers are assigned to a particular family and work with them from the very first meeting, called the “wish interview” and continue on with them until the wish is fulfilled. While they don’t plan out the details of the wish, they do work as a communicator between Make-A-Wish

staff and the wish family.

“It’s a very rewarding volunteer activity that is absolutely unique to Make-A-Wish,” said Rasko. “We have had an increase in Spanishspeaking wish families, causing an urgent need for Spanish-English speaking volunteers in certain parts of the state.

Wish kids are sometimes waiting to have their wish granted, simply because we’re lacking in volunteers with this skill.”

While translating volunteers are at the top of the organization’s wish list, it’s not the only volunteer position available. Other volunteers help plan fundraising events, do office-type work or volunteer at local events.

Online volunteer trainings are available for individuals wanting to work with the organization. Because of the high need for volunteers who can speak English and Spanish, the organization is waiving the volunteer application fee for individuals with this skill.

If you are interested in volunteering, you can find an application and more information at iowa.wish.org or call 800-797-WISH.

Rockin’ around the Charlie Brown Christmas tree

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Dec. 8, 2014

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, and probably one of the busiest.

Having hosted Thanksgiving, we opted to put a splash of Christmas cheer in our home for the occasion, but not the whole shebang. Now that the decorating is complete, a traditional children in front of the tree photo has been shot, and I even managed to wrap some packages. I also found a Santa costume for my dog.

It’s awesome and she loves it.

(Last year she was just a mere elf…)

I’m especially grateful this year to be spending quality time with our kids and observing some of our favorite holiday traditions. Last year, a work assignment took me to the very chilly Mason City for two weeks before Christmas.

Being away from home during the holidays was tough, so this

year I am lapping in as much family fun as I can stand.

Essential to our celebration is music. We’re lovers of the classics — Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Bing Crosby. This year we added the “Home Alone” soundtrack, a good call by our youngest who loves the rendition of “White Christmas” as performed by The Drifters. That would be the song Kevin is singing as he splashes cologne on his freshly shaven face, creating the famous “AAAAHHHH!” scene.

Whether we’re decorating, baking or sitting by the fire, we have our music on and sometimes even partake in some dancing. This is generally instigated by the dog, who loves to jump up on her hind legs and twirl around with us.

What can you say; she’s got Christmas spirit.

We also love our Christmas

movies. A giant stack sits near our TV and we’ve made good progress on our favorites — “Elf,” “A Christmas Story” and “A Charlie Brown Christmas.”

I even watched “Fred Claus” this year — it’s not as horrible as I expected.

I do have to force “How the Grinch Stole Christmas” on the kids. They seem to think the newer version starring Jim Carrey is “the real Grinch.” I completely disagree. The classic 1966 animated television show was always one of my favorites. I can remember positioning myself directly in front of the television and enjoying every little bit of the Dr. Seuss tale.

We find it’s also difficult to get the kids excited about Charlie Brown. Good grief.

Thank goodness they seem to get a kick out of Snoopy. This Christmas classic is near and

dear to my heart even as an adult. When Linus takes to the stage and recites a verse from Luke, explaining to Charlie “what Christmas is all about” it provides some clear insight for us. How many times during the holiday season do we need to be reminded of the true meaning of Christmas?

It was a good reminder for all of us as we watched it this year, just before we decorated the tree. We reminisced as we always do about previous Christmases, how the kids have grown and about some of our favorite memories. We also talked about that night long ago when a savior was born.

That’s what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.

Eye on America

Place your bets

Another View

Operation endless war Only a few months ago, President Barack Obama announced the good news that our combat role in Afghanistan — the longest war in U.S. history — would finally end by New Year’s Day. Put away that champagne.

A flock of screeching war hawks brought heavy political pressure on

By Jim Obama to reHightower verse himself. So our troops will stay in that warravaged, corrupt, bankrupted, ethnically divided country for at least another year or two.

Amazingly, the hawks argued that Obama shouldn’t “rush” the timeline for training Afghan security forces to defend their own

country.

Rush? Hello: IT’S BEEN 13 YEARS! “Operation Enduring Freedom,” as the government originally dubbed this mess of a military mission, should be renamed “Operation Endless War.” Here we go again — not merely conducting training exercises, but continuing to mire our courageous but overstretched military forces in the Afghans’ civil war, including using U.S. ground troops in combat missions against the Afghan Taliban.

How many more Americans will die or be horribly maimed in that hapless land?

How many more billions of our tax dollars will be dumped into Afghanistan’s abyss? And why?

Why are we there? Why are

we wasting so many lives and so much of the money we desperately need here at home?

And why are We the People not consulted on such a massive and momentous decision?

It’s reported that the Pentagon not only wants to keep troops there through 2016, but beyond. How many troops?

What are they to achieve?

That’s a secret.

When Obama announced last May that the United States would have no combat role in Afghanistan after this year, he said, “It’s harder to end wars than to start them.”

True, but that doesn’t mean we can just surrender to those who are turning America into a militaristic state. If Obama won’t fight them, we must. To help, go to www.peace-action. org.

T h a t ’s t h e “spread” By John Stossel posted by bookies. Millions will be bet on that game, and billions will be bet on other games this weekend — college football, NBA games, NHL matches, UFC events ...

Most of these bets are illegal. This is not a good thing.

Recently, National Basketball Association commissioner Adam Silver became the first major professional sports commissioner to endorse legalizing sports betting.

In the New York Times, he wrote, “Gambling has increasingly become a popular and accepted form of entertainment in the United States. Most states offer lotteries.”

They do, and states give worse odds than bookies.

Silver writes, “There is an obvious appetite among sports fans for a safe and legal way to wager.”

But bills to legalize betting go nowhere in Congress. Casinos oppose them because they don’t want competition. They are joined by people who consider gambling immoral.

“Bootleggers and Baptists” is what economist Bruce Yandle called these coalitions. Bootleggers got rich off Prohibition.

Just as Prohibition created Al Capone, bans on betting create crime. They also deprive Americans of useful information, such as who is likely to be the next president.

The pundits don’t know. In 2012, conservative pundits confidently predicted a Romney victory. This year, Democrats predicted they’d keep the Senate. We in the media try to rely on “scientific” polls. Except they aren’t so great either.

In Maryland, most

polls had the Democratic candidate for governor up by double digits, but the Republican won. On average, polls underestimated Republican performance by 4 percent.

Pollsters and pundits rarely suffer much penalty for being wrong. People figure these expert guesses are the best anyone can do.

But they aren’t. When politicians allow people to put their money where their mouths are, bettors do a better job predicting future events. Bettors are better.

Last month, I wrote about how U.S. regulators shut down Intrade, a site that allowed people to bet on all sorts of things.

Before elections, Intrade’s bettors consistently outpredicted the pundits.

In 2012, Intrade gave Obama a 90 percent chance of winning, while pundits still said the race was “too close to call.”

Gallup predicted a Romney win.

Although American regulators killed Intrade, the British online prediction market Betfair still operates. It gave 89 percent odds that Republicans would win the Senate.

By the way, Betfair now gives Hillary Clinton a 40 percent chance of being the next president. Prediction markets like Betfair, PredictIt.com and Predictious.com allow bettors to predict everything from the gender of England’s next royal baby to the winner of the next Nobel Peace Prize.

The Iowa Electronic Markets has outperformed political polls 74 percent of the time since 1988. Why? First, although individual bettors are no more enlightened than any one pundit, a large and diverse group of bettors usually is.

Second, people are more realistic when betting than when answering a survey. Polls suffer from a “self-reporting bias,” where participants say what they think they should rather than what they actually feel. With money on the line, forecasts are more accurate.

So allowing betting helps us make better predictions about the future.

FAMILY CIRCUS

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Dec. 8, 2014

Wife of deaf husband seeks to cope in new surroundings DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Norm,” has become profoundly deaf.

He has a cochlear implant in one ear and a hearing aid in the other; neither has helped much. He has extreme difficulty with speech recognition. We can talk together in the quiet of our home as long as I sit right next to him and speak slowly. We use assisted-listening devices to communicate with each other in the car or at a restaurant.

Norm’s hearing loss has affected us as a couple. We no longer have a social life. When Norm and I are out together, we become “invisible” to other couples. It’s just too much work for anyone to communicate with us.

We are about to move to a retirement community where one meal a day is included in the dining room. I’m worried about how we will navigate the social aspects of eating with others, who will rapidly decide they don’t want to eat with us again because of the difficulty of trying to chat with Norm.

Norm is well aware of this problem.

He has proposed that he eat alone in our apartment while I go to the dining room and meet people, unencumbered by his impairment. Can you advise? — TRAPPED IN A SITUATION DEAR TRAPPED: Before moving into the retirement community, make a point of discussing your husband’s severe hearing impairment with the director, the nurse and/or their medical adviser because they need to be made aware of your husband’s special needs in order to be able to accommodate him, if it’s possible.

According to the House Clinic in Los Angeles (www.houseearclinic. com), he will probably be advised to check in with his otologist (a doctor who specializes in the anatomy and physiology of the ear) to see if anything further can be done to improve his hearing. I hope you will follow through with that suggestion, because advances

are being made in this field every year, and it may help your husband be less isolated.

DEAR ABBY: What is the rule of etiquette in sending out and signing Christmas cards from my family when one child is over 20 and in college? Do I send cards from just my husband, me, and the kids still living at home? Or should I also include my son, the one away at college? — REALLY CONFUSED IN TEXAS DEAR REALLY CONFUSED: Even if your son is away at college, he is still a part of your family, so include him. Once he has finished with school and is out on his own, that would be the time to suggest he start sending his own greetings.

DEAR ABBY: My son took his own life last year. I am raising his small children because their mother is out of the picture. How do I tell them how their daddy died? — GRANDMA IN THE MIDWEST DEAR GRANDMA: Tell them gradually when they start asking questions. If they ask why Daddy died, say he was very ill. When they want to know what the illness was, tell them he suffered from depression. When they want more details, reveal them in an age-appropriate manner.

Police: 68-year-old man fatally shot in Des Moines DES MOINES — Des Moines police say a 68-year-old man has been fatally shot at a home near the Iowa State Fairgrounds.

Police say a suspect was located at the home and was detained for questioning along with two witnesses.

Christmas cheer in Colfax

The Associated Press DES MOINES — An effort to add more doctors in rural Iowa through a state-run loan forgiveness program moved forward this year, though backers say they still need more funding.

The first group of students was awarded funding through the Rural Iowa Primary Care Loan Repayment Program this year. The eight recipients — four from the University of Iowa and four from Des Moines University — will each get up to $200,000 in loan aid in exchange for working for five years in small town Iowa.

Dr. Brent Hoehns, a family physician in Knoxville who is board chairman of the Iowa Academy of Family Physicians, said this kind of investment is needed to get doctors to underserved parts of the state.

“It’s harder and harder and harder to get people to come out to the rural areas and practice,” said Hoehns.

The loan aid may lure some people who were not considering rural practice, as well as support students who were already leaning toward small town work, he said.

The ultimate goal is to use state and private dollars to provide the loan aid to 20 students each year who commit to rural jobs, which can often pay less than other physician positions. This year the state budget provided $1.6 million for the program. Hoehns said his group is working to attract contributions, as well as lobby for more state funding to fully fund the initiative, which needs $4 million annually to meet the 20 student target.

University of Iowa’s Laptop Orchestra turns music on its head Iowa City Press-Citizen IOWA CITY— More cables are on stage than performers at a LOUi concert.

Whether clicking on a mouse pad, typing on a keyboard, rocking an instrument or using “percussion toys,” the University of Iowa’s laptop musicians consider their ensemble to be just like any other, except for one key difference: their instruments.

You might hear a guitar or drums or piano, but there’s no guarantee you’ll see them on stage.

“We are making music with laptops,” said University

of Iowa Laptop Orchestra research assistant Jason Palamara.

Started earlier this year, the ensemble is one of about a dozen nationally.

UI’s Laptop Orchestra, which goes by the name LOUi, has 10 official members who also compose works for the ensemble.

During a performance, the musicians trigger certain sounds and events with their laptops.

To heighten the connection between keystroke and sound, an omnidirectional hemisphere speaker — which looks more akin to R2-D2’s head — sits next to each musician on stage.

“We use electronic interfaces that generate sound in real time,” Laptop Orchestra director David Gompper said.

Those sounds come from a library of acoustic instruments as well as more unconventional noises, such as ambient outdoor sounds or the musicians’ own voices.

UI percussion graduate student Andy Thierauf said cardboard boxes, flower pots, pipes and other knickknacks make up what Gompper calls “percussion toys.”

“We have this collection of sounds that we can use to manipulate in various ways,” Thi-

erauf said. “We can slow them down to make them really low or speed them up, make them go in reverse.”

A lot of concentration is required on stage, said Jonathan Wilson, a member of the ensemble.

“Even if you think that we’re not musically involved with what’s going on, I mean, there’s a lot more going on in the background,” he said.

Those “background” activities during a performance could include real-time coding or troubleshooting computer failures while never losing an ear for the music.

“We’re not removing the process of music at all. We’re just transforming the medium in the way it’s expressed,” Wilson said.

Computer programming languages such as ChucK and Max/MSP allow the ensemble to create loops and a “rich tapestry of sounds,” Thierauf said.

“Anyone can push buttons on a computer,” Thierauf said. “.

But really listening to the sound that’s coming out and really being expressive with that sound is, I think, that’s what’s going to make the Laptop Orchestra really interesting for the audience.”

Chokehold case stirs debate on special prosecutors The Associated Press NEW YORK — After a police officer wasn’t indicted in a fatal chokehold caught on video, some officials are reviving calls to entrust such cases to special prosecutors, rather than local district attorneys.

The city’s elected public advocate and some state lawmakers are pressing for appointing special state prosecutors for police killings, saying Eric Garner’s death has bared problems with having DAs lead investigations and prosecutions of the police who help them build cases. Similar legislation has been proposed in Missouri since the police shooting of an unarmed 18-year-old in Ferguson.

“This is a watershed moment,” New York Public Advocate Letitia James said by phone. “It’s clear that the system is broken and an independent prosecutor is needed.”

She’s advocating appointing such prosecutors whenever police kill or seriously injure someone. Assemblymen Karim Camara and Marcos Crespo are proposing special prosecutors for police killings of unarmed

Gov. Andrew Cuomo said last week on CNN’s “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer” that the state should examine whether DAs should bring such cases and “potential roles for special prosecutors,” as part of a broad look at the criminal jus-

Prince William hits DC; Kate joins NYC first lady NEW YORK (AP) — While Britain’s Prince William meets with President Barack Obama at the Oval Office on Monday and discusses illegal wildlife trafficking, his wife, Kate, will tour a child development center with New York City’s first lady, Chirlane McCray.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived in New York City on Sunday, their first official visit to the U.S. since a 2011 trip to California and their first taste of the Big Apple. During their three-day trip, they’ll be staying at the Carlyle Hotel, a favorite of William’s mother, the late Princess Diana, when she frequently visited Manhattan in the 1990s.

William and Kate, who are expecting their second child in April, have scheduled a full slate of events in New York, including a visit to the National Sept. 11 Memorial and Museum and a basketball game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Their visit also will include some events with other high-profile guests. Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and daughter Chelsea Clinton are accompanying William and Kate to a New York reception highlighting conservation efforts.

William and Kate also are due to join actor Tom Hanks, opera singer Renee Fleming and others at a black-tie, up-to-$10,000-per-seat scholarship fundraiser for the University of St. Andrews, the Scottish institution where the royal couple met and earned degrees. ment Base odel Rem

tice system.

After Garner died July 17, the Staten Island district attorney’s office took the case to a grand jury that spent two months hearing from 50 witnesses and scrutinizing evidence including police policy manuals, medical records and four videos,

according to the few details released.

Medical examiners had found that a police chokehold — a maneuver banned by police policy — caused Garner’s death. Officer Daniel Pantaleo’s lawyer argued the officer used a permissible takedown.

Grand jurors decided Wednesday that no criminal charges were warranted.

The decision spurred protests and questions about how prosecutors conducted the secret process. And it has prompted debate over whether special prosecutors would build public trust or undermine a system set up to put tough decisions in elected prosecutors’ hands.

“There has to be a permanent special prosecutor for police misconduct because of the inherent conflict” in tasking local prosecutors with exploring allegations against the police who are often their partners, said civil rights lawyer Norman Siegel.

But DAs bristle at the implication that they’re too close to police for public comfort.

“Why would the people’s choice to be their elected law enforcement officer be disqualified in favor of some political appointment?” said Onondaga County District Attorney William Fitzpatrick, the Syracuse prosecutor who is presidentelect of the National District Attorneys Association.

Director Ridley Scott defends ‘Exodus’ casting The Associated Press NEW YORK — The biblical film “Exodus: Gods and Kings” has come under fire for white actors being cast in the main roles as Egyptians.

But director Ridley Scott has a message for those trying to boycott the movie: “I say, ‘Get a life.’”

Scott said he had to assemble the “best possible cast ... on a budget of this scale.” The film cost an estimated $140 million.

Actor Christian Bale supported his director, saying working with him was “a true partnership.”

Bale said he was surprised when Scott wanted to cast him as Moses.

“Then I did some research and just found it to be too fascinating to pass it up,” he said.

The Oscar-winning actor understands the controversy over the film’s casting choices, though he sees the business side of it.

“No doubt it would have been a melting pot between Europe and the Middle East and North Africa,” Bale said.

But he praised Scott for doing what was needed to finance the movie.

“He’s been incredibly honest in getting a large, big-budget film like this made,” he said.

Bale was alluding to the fact that investors feel safer with bigname actors.

“I don’t think fingers should be pointed, but we should all look at ourselves and say, ‘Are we supporting wonderful actors in films

by North African and Middle Eastern filmmakers and actors, because there are some fantastic actors out there,” Bale said.

He said he feels audiences can help international actors who are lesser known in the Western world get cast in major films.

“If people start supporting those films more and more, then financiers in the market will follow,” Bale said.

“The audience has to show financiers that they will be there, and (then) they could make a large budget film.”

Chlorine gas sickens 19 at annual furries convention The Associated Press ROSEMONT, Ill. — Chlorine gas sickened several people and forced the evacuation of thousands of guests from a suburban Chicago hotel early Sunday, including many dressed in cartoonish animal costumes for an annual furries convention who were ushered across the street to a convention center hosting a dog show.

Nineteen people who became nauseous or dizzy were treated at

local hospitals, and at least 18 were released shortly thereafter. Within hours, emergency workers decontaminated the Hyatt Regency O’Hare and allowed people back inside. Six-foot-tall rabbits, foxes and dragons poured into the lobby, chatting and giving each other high paws.

“I think we’ll recover from this,” said Kit McCreedy, a 28-year-old from Madison, Wisconsin, his fox tail swinging behind him as he headed back inside for the last day

of the Midwest FurFest. “People are tired but they’re still full of energy.”

The source of the gas was apparently chlorine powder left in a ninth-floor stairwell at the hotel, according to the Rosemont Public Safety Department. Investigators believe the gas was created intentionally and are treating it as a criminal matter.

McCreedy was one of a few thousand attendees for the FurFest, in which attendees celebrate animals that are anthropomorphic.

Older adults who are chronically lonely may be at increased risk for infectious, cancerous and cardiovascular diseases.

Their feelings of social isolation stimulate activity in pro-inflammatory immune cells, according to a new study. Previous studies have also shown that seniors who are very socially connected have a 70% lower rate of cognitive decline than their less social peers. To stay socially engaged, reach out to family and friends, take a class, volunteer in the community, join a club or exercise group, learn about online social networking, get involved in your church, or adopt a pet.

Two Newton wrestlers place second at Cardinal Classic

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Hunter Versteegh and Dakota Dawson stayed on track through the day to contend for individual championships at Saturday’s 2014 Newton High Cardinal Classic. The two Cardinal wrestlers were on the mat at the end of the tournament shooting for titles.

Versteegh faced Ethan Ksiazek of Johnston, who is ranked eighth in Class 3A, in the 113-pound finale. Versteegh was down 2-0 and working on a reversal to tie

the match up in the first period when action was stopped because of Ksiazek’s bloody nose.

Ksiazek maintained the advantage, added five points in the second period on his way to a 12-0 win over Versteegh. Versteegh had pinned Tanner Steemken of Sioux City North, Ben Wooldridge of Knoxville and Elijah Humpel of Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson and post a 13-8 decision over Zach Fisher of Indianola.

At 138, Dawson went 4-0 with pins over Robert Daley of Council Bluffs Thomas

Eagles hold off Cardinals in conference opener

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Little Hawkeye Conference play did not start out the way Newton High’s Cardinal boys wanted it to when they hosted Pella Christian’s Eagles Friday night.

The Eagles rang up four consecutive 3-pointers to open the game and led 14-0 before the Cardinals got on the scoreboard. A basket by Garrett Sturtz broke the Eagle run. The Cardinals trailed 19-6 at the end of the first quarter.

Newton battled its way back into the game, trailing 31-27 at halftime.

The Cardinals used a 9-0 run to start the third quarter claiming a 36-31 lead.

“When we got the five-point lead, I was convinced we were going to

win,” said Nick Wilkins, Newton head coach, after the Cardinals suffered their first loss of the season, 74-67. “The guys battled to get back in the game and that takes a lot of energy, but if you had asked me at the middle of the third quarter which team was the tired team, I would have said Pella Christian.”

Wilkins said the Eagles came out of a timeout and slowed the game down and got great shots.

He said the Cardinals stopped running and settled into the slower pace set by the Eagles.

Nick Easley hit backto-back baskets for Newton to take a 48-46 lead with 38 seconds left in the third quarter. Pella Christian’s Brant Vermeer delivered his fifth BOYS | 8B

He had a 6-1 decision over Adrian Jurado of Sioux City North and won 11-4 over CodyRay Smith of Knoxville.

Dawson, who is ranked eighth in Class 3A, and Shane Vaughn of Johnston went two periods without any scoring.

Vaughn used an escape and a takedown to beat Dawson 3-0 for the 138-pound championship.

Johnston ran away from the other five teams at the tournament. It racked up 346 points to win the team title.

Sioux City North was second with 213 followed by Council

Bluffs Thomas Jefferson and Indianola with 197 each and Knoxville with 194.

Newton finished sixth with 184 points. The Cardinals had five wrestlers finish third in their respective weight classes, one took fourth, two were fifth and three placed sixth.

“I think we did a decent job. I think that the wrestlers will tell you that they aren’t satisfied with the result, but they came out and competed hard,” said Andy Swedenhjelm, Newton head coach.

“The nice thing about this tournament is that it has a

high level of competition, and the kids stepped up to match it.”

Bryce Tish went 4-2 at 145 pounds and the second loss was because of an injury so he didn’t wrestle his final match.

Brett Wolf and Duncan Lee each had a 2-2 mark on the day to place third at 152 and 195, respectively.

J.T. Thongvanh, Newton’s 170-pounder, was ranked seventh in Class 3A. He went 1-2 for third place, losing to ninth-ranked Nathanie Standish of Johnston 5-4 WRESTLING | 8B

Cardinal girls deck Eagles

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Playing with a lead on the basketball court is not something Newton High’s Cardinal girls have done much of in recent history. Cardinal head coach Brandon Sharp said it hadn’t happened in 15 games.

The Cardinals were on a 10-game losing streak, which dated back to the second half of last season. They had lost their first four games this season.

So, it was good to open Little Hawkeye Conference play at home Friday night against the last team they had beaten — Pella Christian. The Cardinals broke into the win column for the 2014-15 season with a 64-50 win over the Eagles.

Newton trailed just once, 7-6 with 2:03 left in the first quarter.

Ryanne Rausch scored to put the Cardinals back in front, 8-7, to trigger a 10-0 run spanning the final two minutes of the first quarter and the opening three minutes of the second quarter to gain the advantage against visiting Pella Christian.

Sydney Jenkins, who scored the opening basket of the game, ended the first quarter with a basket to put Newton up 107. Hannah Rhoads connected for two in the second period followed by back-toback baskets by Jessica Reynolds.

CMB struggles to keep up with Rams

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — Playing without its best player, the Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter boys’ basketball team struggled to keep up with Greene County on Friday during Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference play here.

Bryce Kemp missed Friday’s game and also did not play Saturday when the Raiders visited Colo-NESCO because he was on his official football visit to Eastern Michigan.

And CMB (0-3, 0-2) sorely missed the senior’s absence during a 67-47 to Greene County and a 55-38 loss to Colo-NESCO. Greene County led 15-11 after one quarter but kept the Raiders in its rear-view mirror with a 26-9 advantage in the second quarter.

Sophomore Trey Tucker scored 20 of his 27 points in the first half to lead the Rams to their second straight win.

“They made some threes early in the first quarter and that stretched us out as a defense,” CMB coach Scott Brummel said.

“When we stretched it out, it allowed them to get to the lane pretty easy against us.”

Tucker also had 28 against Colfax-Mingo on Tuesday night. He hit an assortment of shots in the first half against a CMB defense that was providing little resistance in the lane.

“Instead of letting him get a five-foot shot like we did, we should have stepped up higher and made that an eight- or nine-foot shot and made it tougher,” Brummel said.

“The penetration really hurt us.”

Seth Balke had nine points and seven rebounds for the Raiders, while Hunter Gunderson also scored nine and pulled down six boards.

The Raiders were just 2-of-25 from 3-point range and made just 15-of-25 at the free throw line.

“We have to shoot the ball better. We have to work on the high-low more. We are missing some open guys in the post,” Brummel said.

Seniors lead PCM girls to third straight HOIAC win

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News STORY CITY — Prairie City-Monroe’s three seniors had their hands all over the M u s tangs’ t h i r d straight win on the road Friday.

R a c h e l Gulling had a Gulling seasonhigh 15 points, 10 rebounds and three steals, Courtney VanHouweling added 15 points, six steals and three assists and Rachel Freland chipped in 15 points, four rebounds and three steals as Class 3A No. 15 PCM improved to 3-1 overall and 3-0 in the Heart of Iowa Athletic Conference.

The Mustangs led 14-5 after one and outscored the Lady Norse 19-4 in the fourth. Everything in between really didn’t matter too much

Troy Hyde/Newton Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Hunter Gunderson, right, scores two points over Greene County’s Matthew Gordon during the Raiders’ 67-47 home loss in Baxter on Friday.

Gunderson finished with a team-best nine points and six rebounds in the loss.

And not having Kemp didn’t help.

“He would have given us another spot to score from on the high post,” Brummel said.

“He maybe would have challenged a few more shots out of our defense.

“He would have given us some points on the offensive end that we didn’t make up for tonight.”

CMB made up for an 11-6 deficit in the first quarter with a Brady Stover layup and a Joey Nissen 3.

But the four-point hole CMB was in after one quarter quickly ballooned to 18 thanks in large part to Tucker.

The sophomore point guard scored two off a drive, buried a trey and hit two free throws right out of the gates to make it 22-11 with 6:38 to play until halftime.

The Rams (2-0, 2-0) went on a 16-2 run in all and another drive to the hoop by Tucker

capped it and made it 31-13.

Gunderson kept the Raiders close with five free throws and drive to the bucket, but Tucker scored again late in the quarter and Max Neese added a final basket to give the visitors a 41-20 lead at the break.

“We needed to trade him off better in the zone,” Brummel said of Tucker. “We went too high a lot of times.

It made the drive easier. He is going to get his points anyway, but it would be nice if it wasn’t 28.”

The Raiders won the second half by a point, but the damage to the scoreboard had already been done.

Colo-NESCO 55, CMB 38 COLO — Grant Tiarks scored 17, Tanner Clatt chipped in 15 and Christian Reischauer added 10 as Colo-NESCO blew

out the Raiders at home Saturday.

A poor first half once again plagued CMB. Colo-NESCO led 1710 after one and went up 34-17 by halftime.

The two teams played even in the final two quarters.

Tommy Galloway led the Raiders with 10 points. He was the only CMB player to reach double-digits, but Gunderson scored seven and Girard chipped in six.

Robinson went 3-0 at 220 pounds, winning two by pins and then advancing into the finals after a disqualificaRobinson tion.

McFadden had the exact same path. He went 3-0, recorded two pins and had a disqualification along the way.

Jake Hennick went 3-1 at 126, losing his semifinal match and then wrestling back for third. He had two pins on the day.

Slow start plagues PCM boys at rival Roland-Story

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News STORY CITY — The Prairie City-Monroe boys’ basketball team battled back, but a first-half deficit was too much to overcome in a 69-60 loss Friday night.

The Mustangs trailed 44-27 at halftime and never recovered. They got as close as five points in the fourth quarter, but couldn’t hit enough shots to complete the comeback, according to coach Fred Lorensen.

“They made a bunch of shots in the first half and we didn’t,” Lorensen said. “We played well in the second half but just didn’t have enough to finish it off.”

Roland-Story (3-

0, 2-0) went 7-for-11 from behind the 3-point line in the opening half, while PCM (1-1, 1-1) was just 1-of-11. The hosts buried 11 in the game and that was too much to overcome.

Logan GIlman led the Mustangs with 14 points and nine rebounds, while Trey Lindsay added 10 points, six assists and three rebounds.

Luke Pendroy also had 11 points in the loss and Luke Greiner pulled down six rebounds.

The Mustangs next play today at Pella Christian. Tip off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Second quarter dooms CMB girls

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — Greene County’s girls’ basketball team turned a narrow game into a rout after a 21-5 advantage in the second quarter against Collins-Maxwell/Baxter on Friday night.

The Rams and Raiders were tied at 13-all after one quarter but Greene County led 3418 at the break and outscored the hosts 23-6 in the fourth during a 70-38 victory that kept CMB winless on the season.

“We felt good as a team when it was 1313. It gave us a chance, but then we got outscored 21-5 and that absolutely kills you,” said CMB coach Jamie Zabel. “We ran out of gas. The girls were busy with state dance competitions this week and we are tired. We looked tired tonight, especially in the second half.”

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Tigerhawk girls fall short of season’s first triumph

Rockets finally got under way, outscoring the Hawks 17-11 in the second period, but Lynnville-Sully held on for a 27-21 halftime lead.

The Hawks and Rockets played a backand-forth second half.

Lynnville-Sully was still up 41-36 after three periods and finished off the contest with a 15-11 scoring edge in the final eight minutes.

“I feel that we took steps in the right direction to make us a better defensive team. Our offense was balanced again, which makes us hard to defend. I thought the girls attacked when we should have and held up at the right times,” Hulsing said.

The Hawks continue to find ways to get to the free-throw line. They were 29-of-31 (71 percent) at the line Saturday after cashing in 21-of-35 free throw attempts in their win over Montezuma Friday night.

Pacing the Hawks

against the Rockets was Brenna Lanser with 15 points, nine rebounds and three assists. LynnvilleSully had 24 steals in the contest led by Kasiah Ehresman’s seven. Ehresman scored five points.

Lysandra had another double-double with 12 points and 13 rebounds, plus swiped the ball four times. Marissa Vos added 11 points. Madison Rasmusson scored eight points and had four steals. Shelby Davis tossed in three points and Jelissa Rozendaal added two points.

The Hawks had 34 rebounds, They shot 31 percent from the field, hitting 12-of-39 shots.

Hawk boys go 1-1

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Overcoming some adversity early in the season, LynnvilleSully’s boys left Friday night’s 47-29 South Iowa Cedar League loss to visiting Montezuma in the pass and moved on. They had to.

The Hawks were on the road in a non-conference matchup with Eddyville-Blakesburg Saturday. They posted a 72-48 victory over the Rockets to improve to 2-1 on the season.

“It was great to see how the boys responded to a tough game the night before,” said Nick Harthoorn, Lynnville-Sully boys’ head coach. “Our hustle and attention to detail helped create a lot of turnovers and easy baskets.

It was good see the boys knock down some shots.”

Tigerhawks Continued from Page 2B win though after winning the final seven matches, four of which came by pin.

Southeast Warren controlled the Tigerhawks in Round 4. Teed, Fisher and Lourens all won by forfeit and Ben Mead claimed a win by fall, but it wasn’t near enough to earn the dual win.

The best match of the day for the Tigerhawks came in the finale in Round 5 against the Blue Devils.

Martensdale-St. Marys gave up forfeits to Blom, Cameron Warner,

The Hawks came up with 15 steals and 15 assists in their win at Eddyville. Lynnville-Sully rolled to a 19-5 lead in the first quarter and held a 37-14 halftime lead.

The Hawks outscored the Rockets 35-34 in the second half.

Lynnville-Sully shot 53 percent, 28-of-53, from the field and sank 9-of-14 free throw attempts. Eddyville-Blakesburg went 18-of-56 for 32 percent from the field. The Rocket downed 5-of-11 charity tosses.

Ben Trettin knocked down 20 points for the Hawks. He had eight steals and five assists.

Kyle Van Dyke added 15 points and pulled five rebounds. Jesse Van Wyk, Jake Brand and John Trettin each had seven points.

HAWKS | 8B Chapman, Mead and Carlson, while Fisher and Lourens both recorded pins. There also were double forfeits at 106, 120 and 170.

Astrograph Monday, Dec. 8, 2014

In Leo, Jupiter has been The Great Gatsby of the zodiac, a big-spending showoff whose lavishness is a function of a deep need for love (and perhaps the love of one in particular).

Now the mirthful mack daddy reverses his engine, suggesting that in the weeks to come, the difference between good luck and bad luck will be hard to distinguish.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 8). You’re comfortable in your skin, and your ease with your surroundings will attract social and professional opportunities over the next seven weeks.

Continue to be confident in yourself even though you’ll be in completely uncharted territory in February. Invest in your great love. A contract will be signed in May. Pisces and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 26, 10, 28 and 47.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Accepting how people are (instead of projecting onto them the expectations of who you want them to be) will help you

deal most effectively today.

In fact, it’s why you’ll be considered “cool.”

now. There’s a trick to marketing. Factor that into your reasoning.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It may feel as though you’re being blocked from getting what you want.

Instead of thinking of this blockage as a wall, think of it as a gate with a door. You just need to know the key code. Ask around.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). When you are interested in others, it is easy to be interesting to others.

Let this be your guiding principle in business and on the social front, and you’ll come out of the day with a new friend.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). When past mistakes are brought to the surface, the environment becomes a danger zone. Be the bigger person, step back, let go of blame and focus on how to fix the real problem at hand.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The philosophical question of the day: Is time ever really wasted? Just because you’re not doing what you planned doesn’t mean that what you’re doing is worthless. How can you live the detours more fully?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Self-development is favored, but only if you are developing in the ways that matter to you. No one gets happier by trying to measure up to someone else’s rating system.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You feel like you’re being worked over by an infomercial. Suddenly you feel you absolutely have to have the thing you didn’t even know existed until

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s like the moon was whispering to you last night in your sleep, informing your dreams and widening your point of view to include new possibilities.

This contributes to an afternoon change of mind or heart.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You don’t mind making sacrifices for someone else’s cause, but it’s better

if that cause is in line with your own. Also, be honest in your assessment of how large a sacrifice this actually is and how much time it will take.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Sometimes your friends motivate you with a pep talk or encouragement, but now they motivate you just by being who they are. It either inspires you or ignites the spirit of competition.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your work to clear surfaces around you will also be effective in clearing your mind. Physically and mentally, you are organizing yourself for the next adventure.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). As much as you would like to teleport from here to there, your travels will include a journey. Later you’ll be grateful for the inconvenience of transportation because it’s where all the fun happens.

Cardinal bowling teams sweep Knoxville Invitational

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News KNOXVILLE — Newton High’s bowling teams pulled off the sweep of team championships at the 2014 Knoxville Invitational Saturday. It was the Cardinal girls’ seventh straight Knoxville Invitational title.

Newton’s girls held a 122pin lead over host Knoxville going into the Baker games.

Knoxville had the best team score in the Baker games — 883, but it was enough to combat Newton’s 831. The Cardinal girls finished with a 2,441 pin count followed by Knoxville at 2,371.

Oskaloosa finished third in the girls’ competition at 1,943.

Norwalk placed fourth at 1,871 followed by Creston 1,786 and Pella Christian 1,677.

Newton’s boys used the same formula, leading Knoxville by 176 pins heading into the Baker games. Knoxville put

up an 846 Baker score and Norwalk had an 841. Newton’s 725 was enough to push the Cardinal boys to the team title at 2,545.

Knoxville took second at 2,490 and Norwalk was third at 2,405. Oskaloosa finished fourth at 2,1,41 followed by Pella Christian at 2,046 and

Creston at 1,851.

The Newton squads also had the top two individual awards in each division. Junior Madison Humphrey rolled a 411 to win the girls’ competition and senior Payton Cox finished at 464 for the boys’ highest score. Erica Bailey,

senior, put up a 359 score to take second-place honors and senior Alex Bare was second for the boys with a 414.

“The girls did a great job at converting their spares.

Boys Continued from Page 1B 3-pointer of the night and the Eagles were back on top for good. That shot sparked an 11-0 run by the Eagles to get away from the Cardinals by the mid-way mark of the fourth quarter.

The Eagles sealed the win from the free-throw line. They were 21-of-28 at the line for the game.

Pella Christian’s quick start had the Cardinals facing a long, up-hill battle. Devin Shores had a putback to make 144. The Eagles hit five of their nine 3-pointers in the first quarter and Vermeer sank two of those.

Down 19-6 going into the second period, the Cardinals began climbing back in the game. Jordan Travis used an offensive rebound to score then got another basket inside. Joseph Banfield sank one of two free throws followed by another basket by Travis.

The deficit was six, 19-13, at the 5:06 mark.

David Kacmarynski, who delivered at the freethrow line for the Eagles, dropped in a charity to stop the Cardinal run.

Easley scored to make is 20-15.

Hawks Continued from Page 3B Sage Ehresman and Caleb James scored six point each while Tyler Van Zante and Baker Zegers tossed in two points apiece. J. Trettin claimed six of the team’s 31 rebounds and Van Wyk had five. James handed out three assists.

Vermeer answered the a trey for the Eagles and Kacmarynski muscled in a basket, but didn’t convert on a three-point play attempt. Shore had the same opportunity for the Cardinals but also missed the free throw.

Jake Bennett’s 3-pointer with 3:09 left followed by a reverse layup by Banfield trimmed the gap to three points, 25-22. Pella Christian outscored Newton 6-2 for a 31-24 lead. Connor Gholson bagged a 3-pointer for the Cardinals with 58 seconds left in the first half.

“Yes, we made the run back into the game without Tyler’s scoring but he was there distributing the ball, playing defense and rebounding for us,” Wilkins said. Newton’s leading scorer Tyler Wood did not have a single point in the first half.

Travis scored the first two baskets of the third quarter to pull Newton even — 31-31. Bennett hit a turnaround jumper off a rebound with 5:28 left in the period to put the Cardinals in front for the first time. Wood connected for his first points of the night on a 3-pointer and Newton was up 36-31.
