NPD looking for 12-year-old Newton girl

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The Newton Police Department announced Saturday it was seeking to locate a 12-year-old girl and did not have any updated status on her whereabouts as of press time Monday.

Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess said Charlene Rachelle Brown has gone missing from a residence in Newton.

Burdess said Brown is believed to be with “non-custodial family.”

The case is ongoing and is being actively investigated.

“We hope to release further information by the end of the day,” Burdess Brown said Monday morning.

“The investigation, thus far, indicates that Charlene left on her own accord and may be with a non-custodial parent or family members. We have

no indication that Charlene is in imminent danger, and at this point, no specific vehicles have been identified as being involved.”

Brown is 5-feet, 2-inches tall, 135 pounds with brown hair and brown eyes. She was last seen wearing white and blue flannel pajamas.

Burdess said Brown’s case doesn’t qualify for an AMBER Alert because nothing in the investigation has shown she is in imminent danger. Burdess said the following are some of the basic

criteria utilized to determine if an AMBER Alert should be issued for the state of Iowa: • Law enforcement confirms a child has been abducted and entry has been made into the IOWA/NCIC Systems, identifying the child as missing.

• The child is under the age of 18.

• Law enforcement believes the circumstances surrounding the abduction indicate that the child is in danger of serious bodily harm or death.

• There is enough descriptive information about the child, abductor, or suspect’s vehicle to believe an immediate broadcast alert will help.

If you have any information, contact the Newton Police Department at 641-7921547.

The online version of this story will be updated as more information becomes available.

School board requires large time commitment

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When the Newton Community School District Board of Education finally adjourns one of its longer regular meetings, it might bring an end to an extremely long day — or not.

The time commitments for school district

In Brief Stores discount holiday goods more than last year

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Jason Dalton along with his fiancee, Melissa Amos, takes care of the growing collection and booming business at Dalton Farm Toys’ Newton location.

Local builds successful business from his farm toy collection

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News After starting as a high school project 20 years ago, Jason Dalton’s farm toy business has grown to ship thousands of toys a year, sometimes up to 100 toys in one day during the busy season. Specializing in 1/64 scale toys, Dalton Farm Toys prides itself on having the largest selection of that size on the Internet.

“It has been a crazy season.

We shipped 1,000 boxes in 10 days,” Dalton said.

Along with a booming business, Dalton has also modified his headquarters with a new display room. That, he said, helps separate his collection and those toys for sale.

“I started collecting as a kid.

My grandparents farmed, and I enjoyed it. I actually started collecting when I was 6 or 7 years old,” Dalton said.

He said that he still has toys in his collection from when he was 2 years old, complete with the

box they came in. That does not mean he didn’t play with them.

“I had tons of them that I played with,” Dalton said. “I just didn’t beat up my toys.”

One reason he started selling his collection was because it was getting filled with duplicates.

Dalton still keeps a large collection of his own and has had people offer him more than $2,000 for a single toy.

“I have one of everything ever made, there’s literally not a toy in the smaller size that I do not have,” Dalton said. “If I don’t have it, I keep it.”

Dalton has more than 2,400 farm toys in his Online catalog with about 15,000 total toys in supply. Although the business has grown to an impressive size, it started out with a few toys Dalton received as a child.

“Although we specialize in 1/64 (scale) items you will also find a nice selection of 1/16, 1/8, 1/32 & 1/43 scale farm toys,” Dalton said. “We specialize in older and out of production

items but also carry a full line of new releases as well.”

He said the Internet really changed his business from when he only attended shows to now selling daily through his own website and eBay. Through those sites he ships to every corner of the world including Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and Great Britain with a busy season from November to February He gets his new toys directly from the makers and is still a regular at farm and toy shows mostly buying older toys now.

“In the toy world I am kind of known,” Dalton said. “There is really no one else out there that does what I do with the older stuff in the volume that I do. If somebody is looking for something I probably have it.”

To view toys for sale, head to Dalton’s website at www.daltonsfarmtoys.com.

NEW YORK (AP) — If it seems like the discounts stores are offering are bigger than during last holiday shopping season, that’s because they are. And some of the best deals are happening now.

Average price cuts this year on many items from clothing to jewelry are higher than last year, according to Market Track, which reviewed weekly circulars of 11 top retailers from Nov. 1 through Dec. 20.

But the discounting wars are particularly being waged online in the final days before Christmas. In fact, 220 of the season’s hottest products online in cookware, desktop computers and toys are now selling up to 40 percent

below their prices on the day after Thanksgiving known as Black Friday, according to Market Track.

For instance, as of Wednesday, Bestbuy.com is selling a Keurig coffee maker for $99.99, 42 percent below its Black Friday prices. It’s also selling Apple iPad mini 3 for $236.99, 41 percent below Black Friday. And J.C. Penney’s is discounting Lego’s Crazy Action Contraption kits to $27.99 on its website, 42 percent lower than Black Friday.

“There has been a definite shift to more discounting throughout the season,” said Traci Gregorski, vice president of marketing at Market Track.

Northeast Iowa manufacturing plant announces more layoffs SHELL ROCK (AP) — More layoffs have been announced at a northeast Iowa farm equipment plant.

Personnel director Mark Shaw at the Unverferth Manufacturing Co. Inc. plant in Shell Rock says the workers were told about the layoffs earlier this month and that they will occur

by Jan. 4. The first round of layoffs began Nov. 30.

The company has declined to say how many workers have lost or will lose their jobs. The Kalida, Ohio-based company makes grain wagons and pull-type crop sprayers.

Shaw and corporate spokesman Jerry Ecklund told the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier that the sagging agriculture economy is behind both layoffs.

‘Force Awakens’ becomes fastest movie to $1 billion LOS ANGELES (AP) — “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” has reached $1 billion at the box office, achieving the milestone with record-setting hyper speed.

The Walt Disney Co. said “The Force Awakens” crossed the billion-dollar mark Sunday, accomplishing the feat in just 12 days. The previous movie to reach $1 billion the fastest was

Universal’s “Jurassic World,” which did it in 13 days in June.

“Jurassic World” also had the benefit of record grosses in China. “The Force Awakens” doesn’t open in the world’s second-largest movie market until Jan. 9.

J.J. Abrams’ installment of “Star Wars” also posted the biggest Christmas Day box office in history with $49.3 million

and the best second-weekend earnings with $153.5 million.

“The Force Awakens” has been setting records since its debut Dec. 17. It brought in a galactic $238 million in North America over its opening weekend, besting previous record-setter “Jurassic World,” and set international opening-weekend records in Australia, New Zealand and

throughout Europe. It scored the biggest worldwide debut with $529 million. It also topped $100 million in IMAX screenings in 10 days, another global record.

“You almost have to rewrite all the record books for this movie,” box office analyst Paul Dergarabedian of Rentrak said.

“It’s absolutely mind-blowing that ‘Star Wars’ could get to a

billion dollars in 12 days and it hasn’t even opened in China, the second biggest movie market in the world.”

The power of “Star Wars” meant the rest of the week’s releases were competing for second place. That prize went to the Paramount comedy “Daddy’s Home,” which opened with $38.8 million, according to studio estimates Sunday.

Local & State News Time Continued from Page 1A in addition to all the reading and getting questions answered during their socalled free time.

When Newton Board President Sheri Benson was recently honored for completing a state awards program requirement for board members, several Newton board members were asked about the general expectations of board members around Iowa. While there are a few lighthearted or funny moments and some events and student accomplishments that make them smile, being a board member involves a great deal of serious work.

Andy Elbert, former president of the Newton school board and a member since 2009, said not all of the time spent on school-board issues can really be documented.

“We have two scheduled meetings per month, which usually last about three hours each, and one 30-minute meeting prior to the first meeting of the month,” Elbert said. “This

doesn’t include the time going through the board packet in preparation of the meeting or special meeting that may be needed for work sessions, budget meetings, community forums, disciplinary hearings or how many times you get stopped in the grocery store.”

Elbert said the board president likely spends at least one hour the week prior to meetings working on the agenda with the superintendent. To receive an award, a board member would have to go even beyond that sort of “regular” board member commitment.

Board member Robyn Friedman said there are no written guidelines for some of the board member commitments, but it would be rough sledding to try and skimp on the reading or needed background on complex issues.

“I would approximate I spend an additional five to 10 hours per week on board-related items — learning, studying, asking questions, listening to people,” Friedman said.

“This does not count meeting time, and when

we hit big months like last month (November) where that number of hours quickly increases.”

Friedman also said there were two full days at a state conference for school board members in November. Those two full seven-hour days pushed well beyond the 10 additional hours per week.

Benson said the board president’s commitment goes beyond what is already a large strain in be-

ing a regular board member.

“Functions of the role outside what the public sees include creating meeting agendas with the superintendent, being a part of the negotiation team for union contracts, leafing the superintendent evaluation process, supporting board member growth in our roles, growing a partnership with the superintendent to be good stewards of the entire sys-

tem, serve on committees as needed and speaking to organizations as requested,” Benson said. “We are also the lead champion for our community while marrying that with our educational policies and attempt to hold us (the board) accountable to ourselves, those who have gone before us and those who will come after us.”

Cook, the senior Newton board member, said the amount of study a

ties the council is involved with, or why the fundraiser lip sync will be a fun and important event.

Newton Schools fundraisers and other public events have not always been run by the board in the past. However, a recent board request for such presentations, along with an external audit recommendation, have led to more such events being discussed publicly before the board.

The board unani-

mously voted to approve the Feb. 25 event. Superintendent Bob Callaghan praised Stewart for jumping into his new role this year as advisor at Berg, where there are a number of staff members in their first year at the school.

Stewart said there might be a opening for a board member to participate in the lip sync; the board had a good chuckle about who would be the most suited.

Coy talked about the

visit from Smalley, and why the council wants to bring in more passionate speakers.

“Kirk had a major impact on the school,” Coy said. “We’ve set up our own local chapter of Stand for the Silent, the organization he started in memory of his son Ty, one of the kids who were bullied and took their own lives. We want to have more speakers come to Berg, and help prevent bullying here, in Newton,

board member does is very individual.

“A board member is responsible to read the packet provided by the superintendent and board president twice a month,” Cook said. “There are many issues there to learn about, from school finance and how it relates in our district, to assessments and much more. Of course, many meet with the superintendent for questions and clarification. It really is ongoing. It can take two to four hours to really review the packet well and read applicable policies.

Plus studying issues, individual learning and board learning (for specific work sessions).”

Cook said the amount of time spent on board work isn’t as important as understanding issues and topics.

Larry & Diana Ambroson Help For SAD Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression associated with the winter months due to less exposure to sunlight. Treatments may include lightbox therapy, antidepressant medications and behavior therapy. A new study of 177 people with SAD suggests that talk therapy (cognitive behavior therapy where patients learn to challenge their negative thoughts) may help prevent relapses of SAD better than lightbox therapy. Both therapies were effective after the initial six-week session; however, after two winters, 46% of the light-therapy group had a recurrence of symptoms compared to only 27% of the talk-therapy group.

In the Neighborhood

Part of the act in 2015

By Pam Rodgers Associate Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Dec. 28, 2015

As I sit and reflect on the year that is coming to a close, I realize I have been lucky to see some amazing things in the entertainment world. From movies and music concerts to sporting events and stage productions, 2015 certainly has been a fun year to experience.

I will always be able to say I saw five of the Iowa Hawkeye home football games during their historic, undefeated season. I am so thankful for the people I got to share those games with.

The new Star Wars movie was everything I could have hoped for. It renewed my love for the franchise, and I am excited to see what the next installments bring.

This year also closed the book on the Hunger Games saga. That series will always be a favorite of mine.

I got to see three of my favorite country artists live — Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney and Shania Twain. The Shania concert was a once in a lifetime experience. Brad and Kenny are two of the biggest

names in the industry. I couldn’t be happier with the all of the live entertainment I saw this year.

A welcome addition was the chance to see some great stage productions at the Des Moines Civic Center. Many of them I have shared in past columns, but one of the more memorable stage shows I saw this year was “The Illusionists” and not just for the awesome magic show. Allow me to explain.

My friend Kate and I were casually chatting in our seats before the show when I heard someone say, “Excuse me.” I turned and standing in the row in front of me leaning across the seat was a guy dressed all in black. He had an official-looking headset perched on the top of his head and introduced himself as Chris, one of the stage managers. He asked if Kate and I would be willing to go onstage for a card trick during the show.

I turned to Kate, and after a few words and some laughing; we agreed to be part of the show. Af-

ter asking our names, he told us he would come back when it was time to go on stage.

The show began and I was enjoying myself, but I was also glancing toward the end of the aisle to see if Chris had appeared yet.

Sure enough, as “The Daredevil” was balanced on one nail, having a cinderblock broken over his abdomen, Chris was standing at the end of our row waiting for us. As people were applauding, Chris lit our way with his flashlight as we stepped around the people in our row to make our way to the stage.

After we took our seats, dramatic music played as Yu Ho-Jin known as “The Manipulator” took the stage and stood behind his table draped in black. He produced a deck of cards, fanned them out for everyone to see, placed them face down in front of me and whispered to select a card. I did and showed it to the audience as instructed. It was the nine of hearts. I handed it back

to him; he put a mark on it and asked me to sign it. He then proceeded to manipulate the card before our eyes. He made the card move, disappear and reappear in his mouth in a puff a smoke — that was pretty cool.

Kate was up next. He repeated the same process. She picked a card — the four of spades — marked it, then Ho-Jin did different tricks with the card. Sitting up close and personal, I picked up on a few ways he might have completed the tricks, but I would never want to give away the magician’s secrets.

The experience of being on stage and playing a part in one of the acts was one we won’t soon forget.

So as we get ready to close the curtain on 2015, I look forward to what the new year will bring. I can only hope it will be as entertaining as the last.

Another View

Congress removes lumps of coal from taxpayers’ stockings For many Americans, the IRS is like the Grinch who stole Christmas.

Nothing spoils the spirit of the season like a reminder that Tax Day is little more than three months away.

Although no one relishes the idea of paying taxes, for many Americans the rub lies with the By U.S. Senator sheer complexity Chuck Grassley of the tax code and mismanagement by the federal agency that administers it.

As a longtime taxpayer watchdog, I hound the IRS to improve “service” at the Internal Revenue Service. I’ve secured legislative reforms to help ensure that all taxes owed are paid and more importantly, collected fairly. For example, my bipartisan IRS Restructuring and Reform Act of 1998 enacted 71 new taxpayer rights to rein in bad management and improve customer service for taxpayers, especially small businesses. Prior to that, I supported reforms that created the Office of National Taxpayer Advocate to serve as an independent voice for taxpayers inside the IRS and to advise Congress on ways to improve administrative practices at the federal tax collection agency.

Each year I review its two annual reports to determine if the IRS is measuring up to its obligations to properly administer the tax laws and serve taxpayers.

Let’s not fool ourselves. No tax

collecting entity is likely to win a popularity contest. On the other hand, the IRS is more likely to be crowned most unpopular. (Although the EPA may snag runner-up in that category.)

A string of missteps, including fiscal incompetence, mismanagement and political targeting has undermined the credibility of the IRS in the eyes of the taxpaying public. Singling out law-abiding taxpayers for their political affiliation is indefensible in the United States of America. That’s why I’m continuing to scrutinize practices at the IRS and working to nip future assaults on taxpayer privacy and political affiliation. The IRS must keep its nose out of the political process and has no business trying to influence it or intimidate taxpayers. It’s pretty brazen that the IRS would assign resources to track political affiliation and scrub non-profits for donor information when it has struggled for decades to update its antiquated computer architecture and adopt 21st century information technology.

Misplacing priorities has become a recurring theme at IRS headquarters. Consider that it hung up on more than 8 million taxpayers this year who called in for assistance with their tax returns.

What’s more, the agency seems more hung up on the union activities of its workforce and is spread thin because so many of its employees are sitting at home on paid administrative leave. Despite these misplaced priorities, the IRS prioritized $60 million in employee bonuses this year.

The good news is that Congress took steps in December to dial up better customer service and remove the lumps of coal left in taxpayers’ stockings by gross mismanagement and unethical standards of stewardship at the IRS. New taxpayer rights I co-authored with Sen. John Thune this summer were passed and sent to the president’s desk, which he signed.

It writes a number of my Taxpayer Bill of Rights provisions into federal statute. Now when taxpayers go into a meeting with the IRS, the following 10 rights go with them: be informed; quality service; pay no more than the correct amount of tax; challenge the position of the IRS and be heard; appeal a decision of the IRS in an independent forum; finality; privacy; confidentiality; retain representation; and, a fair and just tax system. Other pro-taxpayer provisions folded in end-of-year legislation include reforms that: • prohibit IRS employees from using personal email accounts for official business; • permit 501(c)(4) entities and other organizations to seek timely review in federal court if the IRS drags its feet on making a determination on a tax-exempt application; • clarify termination of employment at the IRS for taking official actions for political purposes; and, • ban the IRS from imposing the gift tax on donations to 501(c) organizations to prevent the agency from misusing the tax code as an intimidation tactic to screen for political affiliation.

Mayor Ed King wanted to submit Barb Welander’s name to the Mt. Pleasant City Council as his choice for the position of Building and Zoning Administrator.

T h e r e By Curt Swarm h a d Guest Columnist b e e n many applicants for the 32-hour per week position and, of course, Welander was the only female. Welander asked Mayor King if she needed to attend the council meeting. He said it wasn’t necessary.

Barb attended Iowa State University, where she would be one of the few females in the College of Engineering. She met her husband to be, Bob, on a blind date.

After graduation, it was off to Mt. Pleasant where Bob would start a veterinary practice, and Barb, after extensive work and testing, would become the first female registered architect in the State of Iowa. A male dominated profession, Barb was a rare sight at job locations — women were considered a jinx. Both she and the men she worked with, learned real fast that negotiation, compromise, and communication were the essential ingredients, not gender, in getting a job done.

About this time, Barb received from the Board of Architectural Examiners a certificate stating that she was a registered architect.

It read, “Be it known that Barbara G. Welander carries acceptable evidence of ‘his’ qualifications.” Later, the Board would erase the word “his” and hand write in “her.” A secretary sent Barb the hand revised certificate. She has the two certificates framed sideby-side.

Barb Welander is quick to point out her motivation has always been following what she was

interested in and wanting to do. Smashing gender barriers or glass ceilings was not her goal. Her advice to young people is to, “Follow your interests.”

Her and Bob’s three sons all have liberal arts degrees.

When the Walmart Distribution Center in Mt. Pleasant was being expanded, there was a standoff between how the contractors wanted to construct the building, and what the City of Mt. Pleasant would allow.

Walmart wanted to use the Southern Building Code, while Mt. Pleasant, at the time, utilized the Uniform Building Code. Work was delayed for seven weeks while the situation was sorted out. Welander had never worked with such a behemoth, worldwide organization as Walmart, and it could be intimidating at times. However, it was through negotiation and communication that an amenable agreement was reached and construction resumed.

During her career, Barb Welander would be appointed by the governor to be on the Building Code Advisory Council.

She is now “chairman” of that council. She has also been appointed to the Architectural Examining Board, and is chairman of it, also. One of her first chores was to fix the gender language on the certificates of qualifications.

Once again, the Ed King Memorial Fountain is being renovated. Barb had the pleasure of watching, from her and her husband’s historical home on Iowa Avenue, as the fountain rolled by on a flatbed truck.

Barb Welander is now retired after serving 27 years as Building and Zoning Administrator for the City of Mt. Pleasant.

Often the calm voice in situations where emotions can run high over permits, zoning, and inspections, she is highly respected and has been instrumental in helping Mt. Pleasant grow.

Young couple needs a break to see if they fit together DEAR ABBY: I’m a 20-yearold college student. I have never dated anyone besides my current boyfriend, “Cody.” He’s my first-ever boyfriend. I met him in high school, but we ran into each other in college and quickly began a relationship. We’re now into our third year together.

We have professed our love for each other. He never said “I love you” to any of his past girlfriends, and I’m happy he said it to me.

My concern is that we talk like we’ll be together forever. I think I’d be happy, but should I worry that I’ll never know if there may be other guys I feel a stronger connection to? Or if I have enough experience to know what love is? — JUST THINKING IN FLORIDA DEAR JUST THINKING: If you’re writing to me, you ARE worrying. While for many couples their first love is also their last one, for many others it isn’t, which may be why there are so many exes in this world.

My advice is to tell Cody that while you care for him, you feel it would be better for both of you to take a break and see other people. In some cases, it can cement a relationship. In others, it can destroy it. Going that route can be risky, but if either partner is having any doubts, that’s the road to take.

DEAR ABBY: My father died last month. He’d had a massive stroke and was incapacitated for the last 10 days of his life and was on life support.

After I arrived at the hospital, I received a call from a woman

who informed me that she is my half-sister. It was upsetting, to say the least. Not only was I losing my father, but I never thought he could keep a secret of this magnitude from me. Because I was angry, I wasn’t friendly toward her.

Should I initiate a relationship with this woman? I’m 38. My siblings and I were born during my parents’ marriage. This woman’s mother is someone he had an affair with before, during and after his marriage. I have mixed emotions because I feel loyal to my mother, and I’m devastated by my father’s deception regarding this child. — UPSET IN GEORGIA DEAR UPSET: I doubt your mother will welcome this person’s presence in her life, so at least for now, I think reaching out would be a mistake. Your mother might perceive it as almost as much of a betrayal as your father’s was with his girlfriend. Before going further, the question you need to ask yourself is, “Would the benefit outweigh the cost?” Until you can answer that, my advice is to do nothing.

DUBUQUE — Advocates for survivors of domestic and sexual abuse in eastern Iowa say they welcome a new state program that guards victims’ home addresses.

The Iowa Secretary of State’s office will begin the Safe at Home program on Jan. 1.

It lets survivors of sexual abuse, domestic abuse, trafficking and stalking to substitute a street address on public documents, such as a driver’s license or utility bills.

Each substitute address will be the same, but each survivor who participates will get a different apartment number.

Iowa inmate convicted of murder dies in prison hospice

5 Waterloo considers reprimand

CORALVILLE — An Iowa prison inmate has died in a hospice care unit.

The Iowa Department of Corrections says 65-year-old Dennis Duane Richards died Friday at the Iowa Medical and Classification Center in Coralville.

A prison spokesman says Richards died of natural causes related to throat cancer.

Richards, of Burlington, was serving a 60-year sentence for second-degree murder and second-degree arson in the death of his ex-wife.

Iowa hog confinement fire

policy for information leaks

WATERLOO — Waterloo’s city council is considering a policy that would allow public reprimands for members who leak information discussed in confidential closed sessions. The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that Ward 3 Councilman Pat Morrissey is asking his colleagues to adopt the policy he developed to deal with elected officials who talk about the discussions that take place during legally closed executive sessions.

Sioux City case reveals gap in Iowa student-teacher sex law The Associated Press SIOUX CITY — A sex case involving a student and an adult worker at a Sioux City high school has exposed a gap in an Iowa law designed to protect students from exploitation.

If an employee is not a licensed teacher, aide or coach, there may be little the state’s justice system can do, according to the Sioux City Journal.

“It’s a challenge because the law isn’t specifically clear in instances on whether it covers an employee or volun-

teer,” said Woodbury County Attorney Patrick Jennings.

Iowa law defines a school employee as an administrator, teacher or licensed individual, or someone with a coaching authorization. It doesn’t cover non-teachers, volunteers or contract employees.

Because of pending litigation, Sioux City Community Schools’ human resources director, Rita Vannatta, said she could not comment on how many people who work in the city’s schools are not em-

ployed by the district.

Erick Deleon was an educational specialist with the iJAG program, a Des Moines-based nonprofit that works with at-risk students, when he became involved with a 16-yearold girl at Sioux City’s North High School.

Deleon was not a school employee and was not required to have a teacher’s license, although he did have a state coaching endorsement for his role as an assistant boys’ soccer coach at West High School.

During the 2013-14 academic year, Deleon

led the iJAG program, and the girl was one of the participants. As part of the program, students and iJAG educational specialists exchange cellphone numbers so that the specialists are available to students having problems outside of school hours.

Authorities say Deleon exchanged text messages with the girl after she left the program, and went to her home in September to discuss problems she was having. They say Deleon kissed her as he left, and the two later had sex twice at the girl’s home.

Iowa trucking industry gets boost from lower fuel costs WATERLOO (AP) — Iowa trucking industry officials say their business isn’t exactly smooth these days, but they don’t seem to be facing as many potholes.

Lower fuel prices have served as both a bane and a boon for the trucking business, industry officials told the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier.

The price of oil has dropped to an 11-year low of around $36 per barrel, due in part to increased domestic production and less consumer demand. The low crude prices have cut into a fracking industry that boomed only a few years ago.

Waterloo native Bob Costello, chief economist at the Arlington, Virginia-based American Trucking Association, said the industry also faces a driver shortage.

“A driver shortage continues to be an issue, despite the slower growth in volumes,” Costello said, noting that the industry has about 48,000 fewer drivers that it needs.

Companies that can pass some of their fuel savings to drivers will retain more of them, Costello said.

The Leo moon is a showman and, as he forms harmonious relationships to moralistic Saturn and provocative Uranus, the lunar-tainment is most likely to delight in the end. As in most good drama, there will be suspense, fear and a decent amount of conflict to keep us tuned in. Suspend your disbelief; this is all in good fun.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 28). Satisfy your curiosity, even if you have to chase it down rabbit holes, across state lines or outside of the boundaries of usual life. Your curiosity will be a golden tether to your next source of outrageous good fortune. A special someone

will track you down in February. March and June represent financial high points. Virgo and Pisces adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 28, 14, 44 and 49.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Your loved ones will support you in unselfish ways, so be quick with the gratitude and praise. Lay the positive reinforcement on thick and, unsurprisingly, you’ll get more good stuff soon!

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

understand the other person’s situation and feelings about it.

You’re a good friend.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Feel like the gardener to another person’s flower? Well, guess what? You’re a flower too. Stop tending to the other flower, and point your inner bud toward the sunshine.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Even though you long ago forgave someone’s hurtful behavior, you still feel the wound of it. How can you move to the “forget” stage?

The better question is: Do you really want to? When you want to, you will.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You like to give, but you don’t

like the other person to feel obligated to reciprocate. That’s why you may choose to deliver your kindness in secret and remain anonymous.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Dependency breeds closeness.

If you don’t need anything from the other person, it weakens the bond. Are you willing to be a little more vulnerable?

You have good reasons, whichever way you feel.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Ask for what you think you should want and you’ll get it -- but it won’t fulfill anything in you and the wanting will continue.

So why not ask for what you really want? You may not get it, but at least you’ll have a chance to.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Choosing the right opponent will be key to your selfimprovement plan. Ultimately, the one to beat is your own last score, but a worthy competitor on the outside will be a necessary part of helping you get there.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). While having numerous relationships may make you popular, having one good relationship is all it takes to make you happy today, especially if that relationship is with your nearest and dearest.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Others get strength from interacting with you. They are inspired by your battle. They are impressed with your mis-

sion. They are enamored by your presence.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Everything has a cost. Ask up front, “How much?” If you’re not getting a dollar amount as an answer, think about the other forms of payment. How much is your time, energy and attention worth?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

When there’s something that doesn’t seem right to you about a process, person or place, trust that. Also, consider every missed opportunity as a blessing. Maybe it’s better you didn’t get into all that!

MAT Tumbling and Trampoline host first home meet of the season Newton Daily News MAT Tumbling and Trampoline recently hosted their first of two competitions for the 2015-2016 season at the Marshalltown Community College Campus on Dec. 12-13.

The gym and awards area were filled with candy and laughter as parents, athletes and coaches enjoyed a Candy land themed competition. The awards area was decorated with lifesize ginger bread houses complete with gingerbread boys and girls and some life-size lollipops to put everyone in the spirit.

More than 600 athletes from around the state of Iowa attended the two-day event. The MAT Team had more than 70 athletes compete ranging in age from 4 to 18. The two day competition featured three events including Power Tumbling, Olympic Trampoline and Double Mini Trampoline. The Olympic Trampoline and Double Mini Trampoline events were held on Saturday, while the Power Tumbling events were held on Sunday.

Many athletes on the “Green Team” were competing for the very first time, or were competing for the first time at a new level. Two MAT athletes accomplished “ELITE” status, which is the highest status an athlete can achieve in the sport of power tumbling/trampoline. Those athletes were: Chelsea Trotter on Tumbling, Trampoline, and Double

Mini Trampoline; and Stacey Slaven on Tumbling.

“Our athletes did well this weekend, and I am proud of their preparation over that last couple months. We have some room for improvement, but they all did great,” Coach Ron Brooks said.

The next stop for the team will be in Fairfield the first weekend in January. For more information about upcoming events or MAT’s Recreational or Team Classes, stop in to the gym located in the K-Mart Mall at 1700 S. Center St. or visit www.mattumblers. com.

University of Iowa marching band prepares for Rose Bowl

By Josh O’Leary Iowa City Press-Citizen IOWA CITY — Just two days after the University of Iowa football team received word it was heading to the Rose Bowl, Hawkeye Marching Band director Kevin Kastens boarded a flight to Southern California.

Kastens was part of a university delegation that made a three-day site visit to Pasadena, where he drove the Tournament of Roses Parade route and toured the stadium ahead of the Hawkeyes’ first trip to the prestigious New Year’s Day bowl in 25 years.

For Kastens and his 250-member marching band, it was the start of a hectic, but thrilling, few weeks of preparation for one of college athletics’ biggest stages — playing for hundreds of

Press-Citizen Photo The Hawkeye Marching Band performs prior to Iowa’s Big Ten championship game against Michigan State at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Ind. on Dec. 5. Just two days after the University of Iowa football team received word it was heading to the Rose Bowl, Hawkeye Marching Band director Kevin Kastens boarded a flight to Southern California.

thousands of spectators lining the streets of the 127th Rose Parade, and the millions more who will tune in to watch the big game itself on Jan. 1.

“I’m really excited for

the band; it’s a great opportunity,” Kastens said.

“This is the crown jewel for a band, whether it’s a high school band marching in the Tournament of Roses Parade or

the collegiate band performing in the parade or at the halftime of the Rose Bowl. As they say, it’s the granddaddy of them all.”

The Iowa City

Press-Citizen reports that on Monday, band manager Jack Frank, a senior trombonist from Marion, loaded equipment onto a semitrailer that will eventually be hauled to Pasadena ahead of the band’s Dec. 29 charter flight.

“Being able to go to the Rose Bowl to finish off my career here is a pretty cool thing, because this is the bowl for band,” Frank said.

“It’s going to be a jampacked four days of rehearsals, and we’re working very hard to make sure we’re fully ready for the parade and other events, because it’s a lot of playing over those four days.”

The Hawkeye Marching Band will be unit No. 41 in the Rose Parade’s caravan of nearly 100 groups on New Year’s Day. They’ll march directly behind

the Big Ten float, upon which school’s Spirit Squad will ride. An estimated 700,000 spectators will line the 5.5mile route.

Inside the stadium that afternoon, the band will perform its traditional traveling pregame show, as well as play the national anthem, which will be led by UI’s director of bands, Mark Heidel. At halftime, the musicians will perform a seven-minute highlight show of selections from this past season, including a medley from the rock band Queen and a rendition of “Johnny B. Goode” — the same routine they performed at the Big Ten championship game two weeks ago.

Kastens said it will be a “working trip,” meaning there won’t be much time to take in the sights in Southern California.

2 former Iowa Guard soldiers State moves ahead with 2 big honored for valorous conduct NW Iowa highway projects The Associated Press WATERLOO — Two former Iowa National Guardsmen have been honored for valorous conduct while serving in Afghanistan.

Former Sgt. Justin Schmitt, of Nashua, and former Spc. Brian Swedberg, formerly of Prairie City, were awarded Army Commendation Medals for valor on Wednesday at the National Guard Readiness Center in Waterloo.

The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reported that Swedberg and

Schmitt served together in 2010-11 in Afghanistan with other members of the 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team, 34th Infantry Division, of the Iowa Army National Guard.

Schmitt was cited for heroism during an attack on his squad on Feb. 11, 2011. The squad came under attack from rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire, according to the Iowa National Guard. He is credited with engaging the enemy during heavy enemy fire, helping to redistribute machine

gun ammo and checking the status of his soldiers, among other things.

Swedberg was honored for his conduct when his unit was attacked on Jan. 9, 2011. Officials say his squad was ambushed and came under enemy fire. Swedberg is credited with leading the effort against the attack, including encouraging and inspiring his team.

Brig. Gen. Randy Warm, who presented the medals, told a small crowd at the center that the men “reflect well on the high caliber of people in Iowa.”

The Associated Press SIOUX CITY — State officials are moving ahead with two giant highway construction projects in northwest Iowa.

The Iowa Department of Transportation has received bids of nearly $127 million for widening projects on U.S. Highway 20 and Interstate 29, according to the Sioux City Journal.

The work on both projects should begin in the spring.

The bids are part of two longsought projects, and now that the work is progressing, transportation officials are dealing with fewer complaints about the state favoring improvements in eastern Iowa and Des Moines over western Iowa.

“I don’t hear that much anymore,”

said Dakin Schultz, an Iowa Department of Transportation traffic planner.

One project will pay for grading and paving of the Highway 20 expansion from Correctionville to Holstein, which is part of an expansion to four lanes from just east of Moville to Early. Ames Construction, of Burnsville, Minnesota, submitted the low bid of $62.9 million for the segment, which should be completed in 2018.

In October, the state accepted bids of $29 million for grading, paving and construction of two bridges on Highway 20 west of Correctionville.

The Highway 20 worked has progressed rapidly since the Legislature last session approved a 10-cent-a-gallon fuel tax, which is forecast to raise more than $200 million for highway improvements.
