— which amounts to the county paying 92 percent of cost for em-ployees — features an expanded dental plan and an optional life insurance policy that would be of no cost to the county.

“Obviously I like the

renewal rates. I am very, very pleased with that,” said Dennis Stevenson, board vice-chairman.

Bob Meller, of the Meller Insurance & Consulting, said the county had a favorable claims year, which is why it only had a slight

increase in rates as com-pared to last year.

“Hats off to the county and supporting a good wellness program. Wellness definitely has a positive effect on utilization. People are becoming more health conscious. We’ll have

years where we will have bad years on this pro-gram in place, but just all the cards fell right (this year),” Meller said.

Potential franchise fees hot topic for

city council

Concerned citizens and businesses turned out to voice their opinions on a proposed franchise fee for electric and natural gas utilities at Monday’s Newton City Council meeting.

A lengthy discussion was held by the council about all options that were considered to pay for infrastructure im-provements, as well as potential caps for larger

manufacturing busi-nesses that are heavier users of local utilities.

“We absolutely are in support of having Newton be an attrac-tive community with good roads and good infrastructure. We are however extremely con-cerned about how the funds to accomplish that would be raised,” said Dick Davidson, presi-dent of Thombert Inc.

Ty Rushing/Daily NewsFar left, Jack Suttek, Newton Community School District Maintenance Supervisor, explained to the board of education the challenges of keeping the Berg Complex operation. The district’s architect, David Briden, center, and Jim Gilbert, right, associate director of elementary services also spoke at Tuesday’s work session.

School district to acquire new property

Rumors have already been running red hot on the Newton Community School District’s future configuration, and sev-eral decisions made at Tuesday’s board of education work session are sure to keep fanning those flames.

The board gave Superinten-dent Bob Callaghan permission to secure property on behalf of the district, however, no details were provided. Callaghan was

initially granted permission to investigate real estate property for the district in September.

After hearing a nearly $18 million proposal to renovate the Berg Complex, the board asked for a detailed proposal on a new building for Berg and potential updates for every other building in the district.

“When we consider construc-tion, I need the whole bigger picture. Do we to need to plan for more classrooms because we need to eliminate, or do some-thing different in other places

because there are similar issues, but maybe not as severe?” said Donna Cook, board member.

“This way, we have a good in-vestment of whatever tax dollars we have to use.”

Nat Clark, another board member, agreed and said if the board was going to potentially have to use bonding to pay for Berg, it would be ideal to have a better idea of other projects that would need to be done.

Ty Rushing/Daily NewsFront left, Bob Meller, of the Meller Insurance & Consulting, and Dennis Simon, front right, Jasper County Human Resources Director, gave the Jasper County Board of Supervisors a rundown on the county’s new insurance plans at Tuesday’s meeting. The county saw a 2.37 percent increase in its monthly premium.

County employees, officials insurance rates set for 2015

Last year, Jasper County saw its employ-ee and elected officials insurance rates jump from $153,348 per month to $171,058.69 per month, an 11.48 percent jump.

However, things don’t look as drastic for the county going into 2015. Tuesday, the Jas-per County Board of Supervisors approved a new plan that will only see its rates increase by 2.37 percent.

The approved plan will cover medical, den-tal and vision insurance for 163 county em-ployees and officials. It will cost $175,104.83 a month for the county

Workforce Develop-ment Board. She clari-fied to the board, that although she was listed on the agenda as speak-ing on behalf of Skilled Iowa, she was there for another purpose.

Arthur asked the board to consider ap-pointing an elected official to the Region 11 Workforce Board, which features eight counties including Jas-per County. Other members include Dal-las, Madison, Marion, Polk, Story and War-ren counties. The pur-pose of the board is to provide oversight of the workforce system, and be responsible for pro-grams for unemployed adults and youth, Ar-thur said.

In order to have a representative on the board, the county would have to approve a 28E agreement. Brock and Stevenson seemed receptive to the matter,

Book signing Saturday at Choices

“If God Won Our Elections” is a book that takes a look at the relationship between church and state and what the Bible has to say on the subject.

Written by Tim Morgan, a pastor from Newton, the book is available on various websites and at Choices, 101 W. Second St. N., where he will be having a book signing from 10 a.m. to noon Saturday.

Morgan said he didn’t set out to write a book, but in the end that’s exactly what his sermons turned into.

“In the course of preaching on the subject, it gradually become obvious that it was becoming a somewhat comprehensive exam-ination of what the Bible says of the correct relationship between church and state or God and government,” Morgan said. “I pastor Kellogg and Pleasantview parishes, two churches in eastern Jasper County. So of course I am preaching on something every week and in 2010 Independence Day and the Lord’s day were the same day, fell on a Sunday. It made sense at that time to con-sider the relationship between those two occasions and those two institutions.”

Morgan said we hear about the relationship between church and state all the time.

“We usually hear about it from the perspective of lawyers, academics, politicians, pendants and it seemed to me that no one had asked, at least to my knowledge, about what the work of God said about church and state,” Morgan said.

While researching the sub-ject, Morgan found that the Bible had a lot to say about the matter.

“I found that the word of God says a great deal. It turned into being one sermon on one Sun-

day morning into an extended series or a sequence of series over a period of years,” Morgan said.

After a lot of thought and prayer, as well as encouragement from members of his congrega-tion, Morgan decided to turn his series into a book.

“I wanted to find a way of publishing it by an organization that shared my values. I found the company Westbow and made arrangements with them to pub-lish the book,” Morgan said.

He said that Westbow also takes care of Internet marketing,

like getting the book on well known websites.

Morgan said he does not have any plans in the future for ad-ditional books, but said there is still a wealth of material on the subject.

Find the book at Amazon.com, BarnesandNoble.com, the book’s website ifGodwonelec-tions.com, the Newton Library and at Choices.

VATICAN CITY (AP) — Pope Francis on Sunday beati-fied Pope Paul VI, concluding the remarkable meeting of bish-ops debating family issues that drew parallels to the tumultuous reforms of the Second Vatican Council which Paul oversaw and implemented.

Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI was on hand for the Mass, which took place just hours af-ter Catholic bishops approved a document charting a more pas-toral approach to ministering to Catholic families.

They failed to reach consen-sus on the two most divisive is-sues at the synod: on welcoming gays and divorced and civilly re-married couples. But the issues remain up for discussion ahead of another meeting of bishops next year.

While the synod scrapped its ground-breaking welcome and showed deep divisions on hot-button issues, the fact that the questions are on the table is sig-nificant given that they had been taboo until Francis’ papacy.

“God is not afraid of new things!” Francis exclaimed in his homily Sunday. “That is why he is continually surprising us, opening our hearts and guiding

us in unexpected ways.”He quoted Paul himself as

saying the church, particularly the synod of bishops which Paul established, must survey the signs of the times to make sure the church adapts methods to respond to the “growing needs of our time and the changing con-ditions of society.”

Paul was elected in 1963 to succeed the popular Pope John XXIII, and during his 15-year reign was responsible for imple-menting the reforms of Vati-can II and charting the church through the tumultuous years of the 1960s sexual revolution.

Vatican II opened the way for Mass to be said in local lan-guages instead of in Latin, called for greater involvement of the laity in the life of the church and revolutionized the church’s rela-tions with people of other faiths.

He is perhaps best known, though, for the divisive 1968 en-cyclical Humanae Vitae, which enshrined the church’s opposi-tion to artificial contraception.

More than 50 years later, Hu-manae Vitae still elicits criticism for being unrealistic given the vast majority of Catholics ignore its teaching on birth control. In their final synod document, bish-

ops restated doctrine, but they also said the church must respect couples in their moral evaluation of contraception methods.

The bishops also signaled a muted opening toward gays, say-ing they should be “welcomed with respect and sensitivity.” That language was far less wel-coming than initially proposed, and it failed to get the necessary two-thirds majority vote to pass.

“I have the impression many would have preferred a more open, positive language,” Ca-nadian Archbishop Paul-Andre Durocher wrote on his blog in explaining the apparent protest vote on the gay paragraph. “Not finding it in this paragraph, they might have chosen to indicate their disapproval of it. However, it has also been published, and the reflection will have to con-tinue.”

The beatification marked the third 20th century pope Francis has elevated this year: In April, he canonized Sts. John Paul II and John XXIII. That historic event marked the first time a reigning and retired pope — Francis and Benedict — had cel-ebrated Mass together in public in the 2,000-year history of the church.

“It’s already hard enough to swallow, so whatever else you throw on the plate isn’t going to make it any better,” Clark said.

The board asked Cal-laghan to work with the district’s administrative team and David Briden, a senior architect at FRK Architects and Engineers, to develop an ideal plan for what type of needs would be required for a potential new facility.

During a previous work session in Septem-ber, there was a $35 mil-lion quote for building a new Berg Complex, however, there were no building perspectives in that proposal.

The catalyst for the board’s inquiry of a

new building was the $17,828,400 proposal to renovate the existing Berg Complex. Since it was built in 1963, the complex has undergone renovations or additions in 1984, 1993 and 2000.

Details from the proposal — which was created by FRK, along with Farris Engineering in August — show the complex is structurally sound, but has a number of other issues.

The elementary and middle school class-room sizes are below modern standards and there is no sprinkler sys-tem installed in case of fire. The 1963 and 1984 HVAC systems from the building are described as “beyond useful life” except for a recently replaced steam boiler. Portions from the 2000 addition can be reused if they are recommis-

sioned, according to the report.

The report also in-dicates there a num-ber of electrical issues within the 1963 and 1984 portions of the complex; however, the 2000 addition’s elec-trical system could be good for another 20 or 30 years. Furthermore, it is recommended the building’s lighting be replaced to be more en-ergy efficient, and other upgrades should be done to accommodate chang-ing technology.

A breakdown for the total costs for the reno-vations show $5.25 mil-lion toward architectural costs, $5.9 million for mechanical issues, close to $3 million for elec-trical and $250,000 for construction contin-gency.

Another $650,000 would be required for

temporary classrooms during construction, there’s a $1.5 million contingency cost, nearly $1.3 million in soft costs and a to be determined cost for asbestos abate-ment. Callaghan reiter-ated the asbestos is not a health factor for anyone in the facility.

Under the proposal, the renovation would done in five phases be-ginning in summer 2015 and ending in the fall of 2016.

The renovation plan could be financed through Secure an Ad-vanced Vision for Edu-cation or SAVE funds. This fund is supported by revenues from state sales/use tax for school infrastructure. An addi-tional means of funding this project would be to issue general obligation bonds, which require voter approval.

SchoolContinued from Page 1A

If the board decided to go forward with build-ing a new Berg Complex, it would require both SAVE funds and general obligation bonds.

“I think over the years — that I’ve been around — we’ve had major projects,” said Bill Perrenoud, board mem-ber and former educator in the district. “When I first came to Newton, (Thomas Jefferson) was a project.

“Then they had other buildings that became the major focus where they tried to do some-thing to that building to upgrade it and update it. And we’ve kind of gotten away from that.

Once the additions were made at TJ and Aurora Heights — using the last bond issue — I don’t think that anything has been done to the facili-ties (that’s) substantial.”

Callaghan estimated he and Briden could re-turn to the board by Jan-uary 2015 with a solid proposal on rebuilding the Berg Complex; an asbestos abatement in the case the board decid-ed to renovate the com-plex; and a long-range plan and life expectancy for the district’s other five campuses.

and asked for a copy of the agreement so Mike Jacob-sen, county attorney, could review it.

In other business:• Robert Andrew Jr. was hired for a part-time po-

sition with the county with a hire-in rate of $12.64 per hour.

• An agreement was reached with Polk County for construction on a culvert near the Beaver Town-ship in Polk County and the Washington Township in Jasper County. Terms of the contract indicate the cost won’t exceed $43,690.80, and the cost would be split between the counties.

• The county’s Secondary Roads Department re-ceived approval to continue snow removal operations at Rock Creek State Park on behalf of the state. The contract will run from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015.

• Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty received approval for his office to have an equitable sharing agreement with the U.S. Departments of Justice and Treasury. If the sheriff ’s officer were to work a case with the federal government, it would be entitled to a share of any seized property or money, according to Halferty.

• Approval was granted for the Young Profes-sionals of Jasper County annual chili cook off on the courthouse lawn. The date for the event is Nov. 28 but a firm time has not been set.

• The Jasper County Recorder’s Office collected $16,454.81 in September, and the board approved the report verifying that figure.

CorrectionIn Tuesday’s paper, the location for the Jasper

County Conservation Office Halloween Hike was incorrectly listed. The event will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. at Mariposa Recreation Area.

With a chill in the air and Halloween just around the corner, one thing is a b u n -d a n t l y c l e a r : It’s but-terbeer season!

Har-ry Pot-ter fans are inti-mate l y aware of butter-beer. We salivated over J.K. Rowl-ing’s pages, reading about our magical heroes ventur-ing into Hogsmeade for a pint of butterbeer at the Three Broomsticks. The drink seemed so delicious, so autumnal, so fictionally unattainable. That is when my friend provided me with what she referred to as the official butterbeer recipe.

This year, I couldn’t go to my friend’s annual har-vest party, where butterbeer is doled out in an endless carousel of frosty mugs, so I decided to make the drink myself. My cooking skills are notorious for be-ing perfectly abysmal, but I thought, “How hard can it be to make a kids drink?”

Before venturing on this culinary journey, my friend reassured me that as long as I hit the three main compo-nents of butterbeer, failure would be an impossibility:

1) Taste like butterscotch.2) Have a frothy head.3) Be nonalcoholic.No problem.The recipe stayed

next to me as I diligently worked, but somehow the final product came out tast-ing a little ... different. Sure, I made a few alterations, but everyone knows that a good chef improvises.

Butterbeer recipe:— In a small saucepan

over medium heat, combine 1 cup of brown sugar with 2 tablespoons of water. Bring to a boil, stirring often, until the mixture reads 240 F on a candy thermometer.

First of all, who owns measuring cups? Second, what in heaven’s name is a candy thermometer? And brown sugar? Harry Potter and friends are getting pretty snooty with their highbrow British ingredients. I add a few handfuls of white sugar and a splash of water to the pan. Turn on high. Forget to stir. Get distracted by “Dumb and Dumber To” commercial. Return to smell of burning. Quickly put pan in sink. Run water over burnt, hard, sug-

ar-crusted pan bottom. — Stir in 6 tablespoons

of butter, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of ci-der vinegar and 1/4 cup of heavy cream.

Set aside to cool.Replace cider vinegar with

the only vinegar I have: bal-samic. Add in the butter, salt and whole milk. Who owns heavy cream? Stir ingredi-ents into the water that sits atop the crust of burnt sugar. Use a knife to crack apart the burnt sugar on the bottom. That should do the trick. Walk away and allow ingredients to blend. Well, blend-ish.

— Once mixture has cooled, stir in 1/2 teaspoon of rum extract.

Easy peasy. The sugar is still supposed to be burnt on the bottom of the pan or in hard black chunks floating around, right?

— Make the frothy top-ping by combining 2 table-spoons of the brown sugar mixture to 1/2 cup of whip-ping cream in a mixing bowl. Use an electric mixer to beat until thickened.

Dip into saucepan of but-tery balsamic milk mixture, scraping the hard sugar on the bottom to get black specks of burnt sugar onto a spoon, and add to bowl. Find coffee creamers stolen from restau-rants in my fridge. Assume they will work better than adding more milk. Empty those contents into bowl. Take a fork and whisk ingredients as fast and hard as I can for as long as I can. A few minutes later, admire the black-speck-led gray liquid but wonder why it hasn’t thickened.

— To serve, pour the brown sugar mixture from saucepan into 4 cups. Add 1/4 cup of cream soda to each cup. Stir. Then spoon the whipped topping over each cup for the frothy top.

Pour the buttery balsamic milk into a cup. Find most of the sugar still burnt on the bottom of the pan. Attempt to scrape up more sugar with a steak knife. Cut finger. Get bandage. Abandon brown sugar mission. Add cream soda to cups. Stir. Add the “frothy” topping that never actually thickened. Stir again. Create a new frothy head by add-ing actual whipped cream to the top. Wonder why I didn’t think of that in the first place.

— Sip and enjoy.Sip and spit out. Return to

kitchen. Pull ice cream out of the freezer and place in bowl. Walk to liquor cabinet and cover ice cream with rum and butterscotch schnapps. Close enough.

Cheers!

Top four reasons to vote for BranstadKathy TiptonNewton

1. Tax payers must reimburse two DOT workers for their wrongful firings ($420,000). And another $150,000 if the state has to pay their legal expenses. These firings took place two years ago. Administrative Law Judge Wil-son ruled that the supervisor had concocted a string of falsehood, half-truths and “egregious lies” to fire the two DOT workers. This supervisor is still employed, and Branstad won’t say whether the supervisor was even disci-plined. However, the two DOT workers said that before their cases went before Judge Wil-son, the state tried to buy their silence. Offering them a cash settlement, payable only if the two agreed never to discuss their claims publicly Kim Reynolds was involved in this fiasco also.

I love being harassed in the workplace. It makes for a shorter workday — vote for Branstad and this is what you get.

2. Branstad is being sued by former Workers’ Compensation Commissioner Chris Godfrey for discrimination. Godfrey was serving a six-year term and did not have to resign when Branstad came to office. Because Godfrey wouldn’t resign when Branstad asked him to, Branstad cut his salary by $40,000 and claimed Godfrey wasn’t performing his job duties. Because Branstad tried to bully an employee to resign from employment, taxpayers have spent more than $500,000 in tax dollars on a lawsuit.

I love fun and games in the workplace. Just the kind of place I want to work. Vote for Brans-tad and this is what you get. Re-member Branstad wants to bring our youngest and brightest young people home to Iowa. What fun we can have bullying them.

3. Branstad ignored state law by closing the Iowa Juvenile Home after the Legislature ap-propriated money for it. This clo-sure came after the disclosures of abusive practices there involving the isolation of girls. Everyone knows girls are more trouble than boys. Vote for Branstad and we don’t have to worry about these girls anymore.

4. The state’s Department of Natural Resources failed to ad-equately enforce environmental regulation on livestock farms to the point where the U.S. Envi-ronmental Protection Agency threatened to take over protecting Iowa waterways. I love dirty wa-ter and the smell from confined feeding lots for animals. Vote for Branstad if you like polluted wa-ter and that lovely smell from the countryside.

Don’t you just love a governor that will stand up and violate the laws? Vote for Branstad and this is what you get. I can’t wait to vote.

Sometimes it’s best to just hear straight from the horse’s mouth, so here it goes — I have accepted a position at another news outlet and next week will be my last at the Daily News and in Newton.

These are words I knew I’d have to write someday, but even when you anticipate something like this happening, it’s still a shock when it actually does. I also want to make it clear that I love Newton, Jasper County, the friendships I’ve made and the memories I created here; however, the opportunity I re-ceived is far too great to pass on, career-wise.

I was talking with Mandi Lamb about this decision on Friday, and I said it’s weird how you spend almost two years building a life somewhere

and then you have two weeks to kiss it all goodbye.

I can honestly say leaving Newton is harder for me than it was to leave Kansas City.

When I moved to Newton, I had the entire month of De-cember, and parts of November and January, to prepare myself for leaving the only home I had ever known.

This time around, I’m leav-ing home in a far more expe-dited manner, but as they old saying goes, “There is never enough time in a day.”

I honestly have no idea how to write a farewell column to a place that I’ve become so famil-iar with and that has become so familiar with me. I know that by leaving, I’m starting all over. The little things like hav-ing kids recognize you on the

square because they remem-bered you visited their class-room, or getting teased by local veterans because you injured your pinky and then proceeded to do an ad campaign on the matter will be missed.

I’m leaving with a very heavy heart, but I’m also thrilled about this new opportunity I’ve been given. I will be working as a staff writer for the N’West Iowa REVIEW, a paper that has won the Iowa Newspaper Association Paper of the Year award 17 times since 1982 and the National Newspaper Best of the States/General Excel-lence Award 17 times, as well.

I think this paper is the per-fect landing spot for me, be-cause it’s a paper that has small town values but practices big city journalism, which is how

I see myself. Another entic-ing aspect was they spoke a lot about operating as a family and not just as coworkers.

As a person whose nearest blood relative is more than 200 miles away, this is a big sell-ing point for me. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve grown close with my various colleagues during my tenure at the Daily News, but the issue there is I’ve lost a lot of friends because of this, as well.

I still need more time to reflect on this transition and huge change in my life, so I plan on making this column a two-parter. Not sure what else I can say in Part I, so all I can say is to be continued.

Payton will work for Jasper County

Beth Zahurones Baxter

I am writing to voice my sup-port for Patrick Payton for the Iowa House. Patrick and his wife have lived in Jasper County (specifically, Newton) for over 21 years, raising their family right here in our own back yard.

Like the people of Jasper County, he has been a hard worker all his life. He worked his way through law school, tak-ing many different part-time and

summer jobs to support himself, and he went through the rigor of starting and maintaining his own successful law firm. So he has the background and experience to know what it takes to help those who are going through a period of belt-tightening.

In the House, Patrick will use that experience to be a strong ad-vocate for small businesses and the hard workers of Jasper Coun-ty. He will dedicate himself to making our government work for the people. He’ll do this by work-ing to create a business climate that is friendly to small business owners and the people they em-

ploy, and by creating a tax climate in Iowa that allows for the bulk of the personal wealth of the people of Jasper County to stay where it belongs — in their own hands.

Patrick knows from experience that these are the types of things that need to get done in our state government so that we will have more job opportunities (and bet-ter job opportunities) in Newton, Jasper County, and throughout Iowa.

So for these reasons, and more, I encourage everyone to vote for Patrick Payton for Iowa House. Let’s put his experience and ded-ication to work for us!

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa has received a $1,000 donation for their com-munity-based mentor-ing program in Jasper County.

“A consistent, caring adult who is both role model and friend makes a lasting difference in these children’s lives,” said Kit Curran, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa. “Studies show that chil-dren who are mentored are more likely to gradu-ate, avoid risky behavior and have a more positive outlook on life.”

The donation from local natural gas utility

Black Hills Energy is aligned with the com-pany’s desire to give back to the community by improving life with energy.

“We enjoy serving as a partner with local

community and eco-nomic development leaders and organiza-tions, and supporting local causes that benefit everyone in the com-munities we serve,” said Summer Wade, Black

Hills Energy operations supervisor for the New-ton area.

The grant will be used to pay for program expenses that are essen-tial to attracting caring mentors into the lives of more children in Jasper County, and to enhance BBBS programs to pro-vide richer experiences for children, protect them from harm and nurture their potential.

To learn more about Big Brothers Big Sisters of Central Iowa, to vol-unteer or to make a con-tribution, please contact Kit Curran at 515-288-9025 x 228 or by email at [email protected].

DEAR ABBY: I met a guy over the phone when he called my number by mis-take. After a brief conversation, not par-ticularly polite on my part, the call ended. Forty-five minutes later he called me back, saying he couldn’t stop thinking about me. I thought, “Who is this goofball?”

Over time, my phone has been “ping-ing” with messages from him. He has sent his life story, photos and address. He even gave me his Social Security number and told me to run a check on him to see for myself that he’s legitimate. We have been talking for eight months and are making plans to meet. He lives in another state, but he has a sister in mine.

Should I meet him in his hometown or let him come to me? I don’t believe this is a game-playing situation. I am 55 years young; he’s 64. We converse on FaceTime daily and at night we have Bible studies together via the Internet. He makes me happy. What is your opinion, and what should I do? — SWEPT AWAY IN GEORGIA

DEAR SWEPT AWAY: Your ro-mance seems almost like a Hallmark Channel love story — two strangers who connect because of a wrong number. However, have him visit you first, meet your family, friends and minister. THEN visit him in his hometown and meet HIS friends, children (if he has any), minister, etc.

Don’t do this just once — give yourself enough time to get beyond the endor-phin rush. He may turn out to be Prince Charming, but a woman can never be too careful, and you need to proceed with your eyes wide open. If this becomes a successful relationship, it will be a won-derful “how did you meet?” story.

DEAR ABBY: My parents just in-formed me that they have not been prac-tical about their finances. I suspected it based on the ratio of their salaries to their purchases, but it was confirmed during a conversation in which they said they have saved nothing for retirement. More disappointing, they both had advantages that would have set them financially for

life had they been smart with their money. On the other hand, I save religiously,

and I’m on my way to building the retire-ment I want for me and my wife. I feel bad for my parents, but I can’t help wor-rying that everything I am working for is being threatened by their poor choices and unwillingness to change how they deal with money.

When I expressed concern that I would have to support them financially at some point because of this, I was made to feel selfish because of all the sacrifices they made for me over the years. Who is wrong here? — “BAD SON” IN BAL-TIMORE

DEAR SON: Your parents are, for having blown the money they should have been saving and for trying to guilt you into supporting them. (By the way, they’re not alone. MANY Americans in their 50s and 60s have only now awak-ened to the fact that they won’t have enough — or any — money to supple-ment their Social Security.)

The sacrifices parents make are sup-posed to be done out of love, not to in-denture their children. If there is still time for them to sock away some savings for when they will no longer be working, I suggest they start now. (Suze Orman says that whether you’re in your 30s, 40s or 50s, it’s never too late to start saving for your financial future.) As a GOOD son, ask if they would like your help in invest-ing it.

DUBUQUE — An Iowa farmer says someone has stolen about $18,000 worth of soybeans from 18 acres on his farm in Illinois.

Matt Schuster of La Motte, says he is missing more than 1,600 bushels after some-one took the crops in East Dubuque. He says he noticed the theft when he checked on the land over the weekend.

The Jo Daviess County Sheriff ’s Office is investigating.Neighbors say they saw the crop being harvested but they thought Schuster had hired someone to combine the field.

Graceland University placed on brief lockdown

DES MOINES — The unemployment rate in Iowa edged up slightly in Septem-ber to 4.6 percent from 4.5 percent in Au-gust as the state’s labor force grew but the number of workers filing for unemploy-ment also increased.

Michelle Obama asks students to vote early in IowaThe Associated Press

IOWA CITY — First lady Michelle Obama tried to give Democrats a boost in a key U.S. Sen-ate race Tuesday, urging college students in Iowa to vote early for Bruce Braley.

Mrs. Obama urged supporters at the Univer-sity of Iowa to vote at a campus polling location that was open Tuesday and spend the next two weeks volunteering for Braley, who is in a tight race against Republican Joni Ernst.

Braley, a four-term congressman, had once been a favorite to win the seat held for 30 years by retiring Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin, one of his mentors. But now he’s

running even with E r n s t , a first-t e r m s t a t e s e n a t o r and com-m a n d e r in the I o w a National G u a r d ,

after a turbulent cam-paign. The race will help decide which party con-trols the U.S. Senate.

Mrs. Obama said it would be up to younger voters to “step up” and help deliver the state for Braley, as they did for her husband Barack Obama during his presidential campaigns of 2008 and 2012.

“For just three hours

of your time, you will get six years of an outstand-ing senator who will car-ry on Tom Harkin’s leg-acy,” Mrs. Obama said. “If we all keep stepping up and bringing others along with us, I know we can elect Bruce Braley as the next senator from Iowa.”

She said students should take anyone they know to the polls with them, joking, “Bring the folks you met at the par-ty last weekend!”

The first lady was set to appear later in the day in Minnesota with Sen. Al Franken and Gov. Mark Dayton, Demo-crats who are both seek-ing re-election.

The stop in Iowa City was Mrs. Obama’s sec-ond event for Braley this

month meant to energize college students. This time, she pronounced his name correctly.

Mrs. Obama had re-peatedly referred to Bral-ey as “Bruce Bailey” dur-ing the earlier speech at Drake University in Des Moines, making her the target of late-night co-medians. She made light of the gaffe at the begin-ning of her 20-minute speech Tuesday.

“Let me say that one more time: Bruce Bral-ey,” she said, as the crowd in the Iowa Memorial Union laughed.

“Talk to Malia and Sasha: I never call them the right names,” she said, referring to her daughters. She joked that she sometimes calls her husband “Bo,” their

dog’s name.The Republican Party

of Iowa had fun with the mistake Tuesday, launching the web site VoteBruceBailey.com, which redirected visitors to Ernst’s campaign site. The party also used the appearance to link Braley to the president, whose popularity has tumbled in the state that helped launch his presidency with a 2008 victory in the caucuses.

But Mrs. Obama de-fended her husband’s record. She said he had helped turn around a struggling economy, expanded financial aid for students and signed health care reform that allows people to stay on their parents’ insurance until age 26.

Iowa airman buried nearly 70 years after

deathBADGER — The

remains of an Iowa airman shot down nearly 70 years ago during a World War II battle have been bur-ied in his hometown of Badger.

Staff Sgt. Maurice Fevold was 21 when his plane was hit while flying over Germany during the Battle of the Bulge. Wreckage was found in 2007, and recent DNA test-ing was used to iden-tify Fevold’s remains, which were recovered in 2012.

A funeral was held for Fevold on Monday and he was given full military honors.

“This calender year, Thombert will use just over $300,000 in gas and electric utilities. We use that power to convert raw materials into our finished product, so it is a crucial part of our manufacturing process. Utilities as such are a major cost compo-nent in our overall prod-uct.”

Davidson said a util-ity tax increase will make Newton a less competi-tive place to manufacture products.

“I think because of the fact that we have a num-ber of manufactures in this community that use huge amounts of electric and gas utility, that this kind of a tax places a very unfair burden on manufacturing businesses,” Davidson said. “ It makes Newton less friendly to manufacturing businesses.”

One option the council is exploring is capping the amount that one business would pay.

Keith Sherman, an Al-

liant Energy spokesperson, said Alliant would collect the fees, but the city is in charge of refunding any cap that is put in place.

“You have to be very careful when looking at customer classes .... and you don’t want to be in a position where you refund to a particular customer and then you have a com-petitor in that business. If they find out they aren’t getting the same treat-ment,” Sherman said.

He said Dubuque put a cap in place, but even-tually got sued by citizens that were not aware of the opportunity to save on the fee.

“It’s something that you have to approach careful-ly,” Sherman said.

Bryan Friedman, direc-tor of finance and develop-ment for the city, explained how the city could imple-ment the cap and the risks that are associated with it. The city would look at the companies utility bills for the entire year and deter-mine when it has reached the threshold. The tricky part, he said, would be de-fining the rules as to who

would be eligible. The process would have to be implemented in a way that would withstand any legal challenges and would be fair and equitable to the community.

“Mr. Davidson rightly said that there are a lot of manufacturers in New-ton and they have energy intensive processes, but they are not all the same,” Friedman said. “Is a small company, that this would be a bigger hit to, but rela-tive numbers of their pay-ments would be small (be eligible), would be smaller than a giant company that would be able to absorb that increase much more easily given their total revenues. Trying to define that is a tricky process.”

Citizens also expressed concern about the addition of fees to their utilities.

“Is this going to make people stop and have sec-onds thoughts of moving into Newton versus Kel-logg, Colfax some of the other places,” Dixie Cas-sidy said. “Also we have an awful lot of senior citizens. Better yet, how about put-ting it up to the citizens to

vote on. I have three elder-ly ladies just within a block of me in their nineties and they said, there is no sense of coming to the city council because you guys have already made up your mind of how you are going to spend our money.”

Sherman said his in-teraction with the city has been very thorough. He said that he has had several emails and phone calls and believes the city is not go-ing into the franchise fee blindly.

“Some communities recognize that with the changes going on in Des Moines and in their long range vision to attract business sometimes they need to do thing with in-frastructure and they have no other recourse, they are limited by what they can to do raise revenue,” Sher-man said.

If citizens would like to challenge the council’s rul-ing, they have the option of submitting a petition to call for a referendum. The petition would need less than 40 signatures and there is a 20 day period in which to submit it. The council would then decide if to move forward with the referendum or not pursue the franchise fee process any further.

“The city would be obligated for the cost of the referendum. It would be somewhere between $5,000 and $11,000, somewhere in that range,” Knabel said.

Council Member Jeff Price said that he often gets questioned on why the council cannot find the needed money in the city’s budget.

“When you talk about that type of scope, if you’re going to fix that small of area and it costs of $300,000 or $400,000 I think that is one of the answers I keep coming to, you are going to end up depleting pretty much a ton of (funds),” Price said.

Two recent street projects, one in front of DMACC on North Sec-ond Avenue West and the other in front of Skiff on North Fourth Av-enue East, cost between $700,000 and $800,000 to complete. Knabel ex-plained that going into the general fund to pay for the infrastructure would mean giving up other items in the budget.

“The large amounts, as you indicated, it’s not like it’s one or two streets that are out there that need attention. It is across the community and the longer they go unattended, that cost will go up and con-tinue to rise because of just a lack of maintenance we have seen,” Knabel said.

He explained how the franchise fee is the least costly option to residents that was explored. The other potential option was a property tax through a bond issue that would in-clude an debt service levy because the emergency

levy and capital levy alone would not cover the cost. With the bond issue, there would be no flex-ibility with how the money is spent, it would be 100 percent to what it was designated. The franchise fee has the potential to go towards a single cause, but could be reallocated in case of emergency. Mayor Michael Hansen wrapped up the discussion with his view and experience he has had since being elected to the council in 2002.

“I’ve been sitting in this council chamber since 2002. The can has con-tinually been kicked down the road regarding our in-frastructure needs. Council has made a decision that we can’t do that any lon-ger, we have to begin to address that. I’m glad that we’ve had that discussion here concerning the op-tions you have considered,” Hansen said. “The issue at hand is, that these streets have to be addressed. They are a must. This is a dif-ficult thing, I get that. Council has very, very few options available to them in order to address that.”

“Folks we have 25-30 years worth of work to do in the streets as far as funding is concerned. The fact is that we can no lon-ger kick the can down the road on our infrastructure needs.”

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily NewsNewton High senior Sydney Hemann (4) and sophomore Morgan Allen are at the net for the block against Norwalk’s Jaycie Owens (10) in Tuesday night’s regular-season finale at NHS. Norwalk won the Little Hawkeye Conference match in three sets.

Warriors toss Cardinals on Senior NightSydney Hemann walked across the

volleyball court with her parents, Tim and Kari Hemann, just before New-ton High’s final regular-season match. Hemann is the lone senior on the 2014 Cardinal team.

It was a bittersweet night for Hemann as the Cardinals bowed to visiting Norwalk’s Warriors 25-10, 25-19, 25-10 on Senior Night. New-ton finished 0-6 in Little Hawkeye Conference play, ending the regular season at 7-28.

“We had more effort than we have had for awhile during a match to-night,” said Laura Rowen, “From

here on out its tournament time and each day could be our last. We have a season under our belt so the ‘we are young’ excuse is no longer. We need to play to win or that’s it, done.”

In Tuesday’s first set, Norwalk jumped out to a 9-2 lead and Newton didn’t have a response. Facing another blowout set down 3-0, the Cardinals battled back on a couple of net plays by Morgan Allen. Hemann was at the service line with her team down 5-3 and she served up three points.

The teams went back-and-forth. Taylor Shipley served two points for Newton — the second on a hit by Ry-anne Rausch, but the Cardinals were down 13-12. Megan Pressgrove had a tip for a point and a block for another

one to help pull the Cardinals to with-in three points, 21-18. They didn’t get any closer in the second set.

Pressgrove went out with a back problem at the end of the second set and did not get back on the court for Newton.

The third set was another back-and-forth affair. Norwalk had leads of one or two points. Newton could not keep the serve to string points together. But the Warriors went on a seven-point run to push their lead to 17-7. The Warriors’ next server had five straight points to solidify a big advantage for the win.

In Hemann’s final match on the NHS court, she served up six points and had one ace. She also had seven set

assists, plus two kills and one assisted block at the net. Hemann had two digs.

Rausch led the net attack for New-ton with seven kills. Courtney Jacob-sen delivered three kills while Allen and Pressgrove each had two kills. Al-lison Ergenbright had one kill. Allen put up two solo blocks and two assist-ed blocks. Pressgrove had an assisted block.

Rausch had two points on two ace serves. Allen and Shipley each served for two points and Pressgrove had one service point. Pressgrove had four set assists and Shipley made three set as-sists.

What A BummerRaiders, Hawks advance, Tigerhawks bow out of regional

volleyball action

Three area high school volleyball teams opened playoff action Tuesday. Two teams play on.

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter and Colfax-Mingo played opening-round matches in the Class 2A Region 5 tournament. CMB’s Raiders rolled past host Madrid 25-19, 25-5, 25-16, while Colfax-Mingo’s Tigerhawks saw their season come to an end at State Center, losing 25-18, 28-26, 25-22 to host West Marshall.

Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks hosted a Class 1A Region 7 opening-round match in Sully. The Hawks turned away HLV of Victor, 25-9-25-16, 25-18. HLV had pushed the Hawks to five sets two weeks ago in conference play.

CMB (10-12) and Lynnville-Sully (13-9) advance into quarterfinal action of their respec-tive divisions on Oct. 28. In Class 2A Region 5, the Raiders play South Hamilton at Jewel. The Hawks travel to Marengo to play 15th-ranked Iowa Valley in Class 1A Region 7 action. Both matches start at 7 p.m.

At Madrid, the Raiders were a force at the service line, going 67-for-74, which was 90.5 percent. Senior Abbey Appelgate had four aces while sophomore Kathleen Baldwin had two aces. Seniors Maddy Poage and Mackenzie Schmitz were perfect in serving the ball — 21-for-21 and 12-for-12, respectively — and each had two aces. Junior Bridge Hurley had one ace.

“The team played very well in all aspects of the game. We came our ready to play tonight, and we had a lot of fun. CMB withstood a strong start by Madrid. Down 14-17, I called a time out to just settle the team down,” said Scott Ranck, CMB head coach.

Ranck said the Raiders close out the set on an 11-2 run, and continued that hot streak into the second set. The Raiders had a 36-7 run over the two sets after Ranck called the timeout.

“Everyone was just on fire during that time, and even the girls who came off the bench really stepped it up and we just kept rolling,” Ranck said.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Madison Bumgarner and the San Francisco Giants put a sudden stop to the Kansas City Royals’ perfect postseason roll.

Bumgarner pitched shut-out ball into the seventh inning, Hunter Pence homered early and the Giants showed off their Oc-tober poise, shutting down the Royals 7-1 Tuesday night in the World Series opener.

“Our team is concentrating on what we’re doing, not what the

Royals are doing,” Bumgarner said.

From the get-go, the Giants simply did everything right to win their seventh straight World Series game. There’s a reason

Bumgarner and this bunch in black and orange are trying for their third title in five years.

“I can’t say I’m surprised by these guys,” Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.

“It was a close match throughout each set. We had leads of four and five ponts in the first two sets and just couldn’t hang on,” said Michelle Grant, Tigerhawk head coach.

“It was an unfortunate way to end the season. We improved so much over the course of the season and I am very proud of the effort and hard work our student athletes put in this season. We thank our seniors for their leadership this season and look forward to next season’s growth and improvement.”

Against West Marshall, freshman Ries Wilson delivered 11 kills and had eight digs for the Tigerhawks. Senior Allison Teed downed eight kills and had two digs. Sara Lahart, a senior, went 11-for-11 serving with two aces, plus came up with 17 digs.

wins in a row — back on the field after a five-day layoff, their pitching, hitting and fielding all deserted them.

The fates seemed to change from the very first batter, in fact. Gregor Blanco led off with a soft line drive to center field and AL Championship Series MVP Lorenzo Cain charged, then backed off as the ball fell for a single. It would’ve taken a near mir-acle to catch it, but that’s the kind of play the Royals had been making on a routine basis.

Moments later, Pence’s two-run homer highlighted a three-run burst in the first inning against James

Shields. Nicknamed “Big Game James,” he once again failed to live up to that billing and left in the fourth when the Giants made it 5-0.

“It just wasn’t my night tonight,” Shields said.

By then, Royals fans who had wait-ed since 1985 for the Series to return to town had gone silent. Or, worse, they were booing while small “Let’s go, Giants!” chants echoed through Kauffman Stadium.

Just like that, what many figured would be a tight matchup had turned into a mismatch. And it was a good omen for the Giants — the Game 1 winner has won 15 of the last 17 World Series.

The Royals will try to get even in Game 2 on Wednesday night when

rookie Yordano Ventura starts against veteran Jake Peavy.

“We didn’t expect to come in here and sweep the San Francisco Giants,” Kansas City manager Ned Yost said. “We knew that this was a series that was going to go deep. We know how tough they are.”

Bumgarner added to his sparkling World Series resume, improving to 3-0 and extending his scoreless streak to 21 innings before Salvador Perez homered with two outs in the seventh.

“I would tell you I wasn’t thinking about it, but you know,” Bumgarner said. “There’s no way around it. You know. There’s so much talk about it. Obviously, a World Series game is not something you tend to forget.”

The 25-year-old called MadBum

by his teammates was in trouble only once. Down 3-0 in the third, the Roy-als loaded the bases with a two-out walk and cleanup man Eric Hosmer stepped to the plate, but grounded out on the first pitch.

Bumgarner went on to stretch his road postseason scoreless streak to a record 32 2-3 innings as the Giants cruised. He pitched three-hit ball for seven innings, struck out five and walked one.

“He’s special. He’s got that flair for the spectacular,” Pence said. “He never makes it bigger than it is. He just gets out there and competes.”

Michael Morse, getting to play as the designated hitter in the AL park, had an RBI single that finished Shields, and reliever Danny Duffy walked Blanco with the bases loaded.

Rookie Joe Panik hit an RBI triple that bounced past usually reliable right fielder Nori Aoki in the seventh and scored on a single by October force Pablo Sandoval. The MVP of the 2012 World Series triumph, Sandoval also had an RBI double in the first that ex-tended his postseason streak of reach-ing base to 24 straight games.

Pence also doubled and walked.“We’re ready to move on tomor-

row,” Shields said. “We’re upbeat. This team came in here and said, ‘We’re go-ing to get them tomorrow.’ We have a lot of positive attitude right now, we’re tracking at an all-time high. We just faced a good pitcher tonight.”

Before the game, the mood at the ballpark was positively giddy. Ush-ers greeted fans with “Welcome to the World Series!” and some hot-dog vendors high-fived each other behind the counter.

Yet the Giants wrecked that fun, and won for the 16th time in their last 18 postseason games.

The Royals had won 11 straight in the postseason dating to their 1985 championship run, one short of the record held by a pair of New York Yankees clubs.

But it was clear from the start that this would not be their night, and not even the little things went well.

Early in the game, Kansas City third base coach Mike Jirschele re-trieved a foul ball and tried to flip it into the stands. Instead, his toss fell well short of reaching the seats.

TODAY!

Astrograph

Tomorrow brings big change. There will be a partial solar eclipse, a new moon and a solar change, and to top it off, Venus will change signs, too. Today will seem mighty calm compara-tively, and that’s some-thing to take advantage of. What needs doing? Handle the little details you won’t have time for tomorrow.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 22). The universe respects your agenda, though it will definitely make a few changes and throw you for a loop — all intended to better your fortunes. Your positive and open-minded outlook combined with a good product will attract buy-ers, and you’ll cash in in December, May and July. Spring brings more love into your world. Pisces and Aquarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 17, 9, 24 and 16.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You don’t have to do anything exciting; you only have to be you. And guess what? Some-one wants to be a part of

your life, the day-to-day process of it, the minutiae and the broad strokes.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Dorothy had to land in Oz to appreciate everyone she left back home. This is the perfect day to buy your ticket, especially if your trip isn’t for a few weeks.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your mind is occupied with thoughts of how you’ll entertain your crew. You want to create an atmosphere where they feel free to be the interesting and lively people they are.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Self-knowledge will require some effort and experimentation on your part.Also, it helps to talk to your family. Someone has a key bit of informa-tion that will help you know yourself more thoroughly.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Maybe you’ll figure out that you’re not as good at something as you thought you were, but this is not cause for

embarrassment or regret. You need to believe in yourself all along the way in order to get better.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Whatever the nature of your work, there is an art to it. You’ve become more than proficient — you’re an artist. Think-ing of yourself this way will be the key to your success and well-being today.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You may not think your contributions are up to par, but give anyway. Something will be better than nothing. Plus, you’ll learn from the effort and do even better next time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have an entire drawer filled with things you save for “just in case,” but the moment to use them hasn’t come in years. It’s purge time! Something has to go in order for you to make way for the future.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You will be in the right place at the right time to hear what wasn’t originally intended for

you. This will turn out to be fortunate, indeed. It will be exactly what you need to know.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s becoming clear that you need more train-ing in order to become proficient at the job you want to do. Your eager-ness to learn combined with persistence will eventually make you a master.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Everyone starts out without knowledge and muddles through life making do with what they are given. You have respect for them all to-day, regardless of station and achievement. Every-one is doing their best.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’ll be duly im-pressed by a production, but do not start compar-ing yourself to what you see. Don’t get so blown over by the outcome of work that you fail to see all that went into it. Nothing gets done with-out effort.
