Sheriff Halferty details man-hours spent on CDR cold case
By Mike MendenhallNewton Daily News
WATERLOO — Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty took the stand Monday afternoon in the double murder trial of Theresa “Terri” Supino, detailing his personal stake in the Copper Dollar Ranch cold case, as well as the amount of time and effort he’s invested in the investigation.
Attorneys for Supino tried to show what they’ve characterized as theatrics and staging in some of the decisions leading to Supi-no’s March 3, 2014 arrest.
Supino is facing two counts of first-degree murder in the March 3, 1983 killings of her estranged husband Steven Fisher, 20, and his girlfriend, 17-year-old Melisa
Gregory, at the Copper Dollar Ranch northwest of Newton.
Co-defense counsel Steve Addington appeared to criticize Halferty for coordinating the CDR investigation with the TNT television program “Cold Justice.” Halferty said “Cold Justice” pro-ducers provided resources to his department similar to that of a traditional cold case police unit.

Halferty said more than 400 people were interviewed while in-vestigating Fisher and Gregory’s

ISU professor says marketing will be main set of choices
Reports released Feb. 10 by the U.S. Department of Agri-culture predict some decreased average income for farm house-holds in 2015, but one expert is not calling that a bleak forecast.
Net income for farmers is ex-pected to fall from $108 billion in 2014 to about $73.6 billion in 2015, according to the USDA’s Feb. 10 U.S. farm sector finan-cial indicators. That would be a reduction in income of about 32 percent.
The net farm income hit a re-cord $129 billion in 2013 before corn and soybean prices started to impact the market and ex-penses continue to creep higher.
One expert, Iowa State Uni-versity professor Bruce A. Bab-cock, said many farmers, includ-ing those in Jasper County, have already made planting decisions for 2015.
“Corn and soybean farmers in Jasper County have largely fig-ured out how much of their land will be devoted to corn, and how much to soybeans,” Babcock said. “The price drop really will not affect planting decisions.”
Total gross farm income dropped less than 2 percent be-tween 2013 and 2014, losing slightly more than $5 billion. The Feb. 10 forecast shows the drop this year going from $475.9 billion to around $444 billion — a decrease in income of about 6.5 percent.
Coupled with rising expenses, a dip in income will be tough for some U.S. farms to take. As
fracking continues to help drive up U.S. domestic oil production and drive down fuel prices, corn demand and prices have dropped off.
Both corn and soybeans are trading for about half of their stock value at this point two years ago.
Babcock said farmers know there is more corn than demand in the market now, and that prices could change a great deal by the time harvest season rolls around.
“The key question facing farmers involves marketing de-cisions,” Babcock said. “Right now, farmers can sell corn at about $3.75 per bushel. They can sell soybeans at about $9 per bushel. While these prices are much lower than in recent years, they still offer some farmers the opportunity to lock in a profit. With the large amount of corn on hand this year, another big crop could send prices substan-tially lower.”
The drop from the 2013 re-cord year to last year’s $108 bil-lion in farm income was a drop of 16 percent, so it’s not as if farmers have not been on a year-to-year roller coaster. The 2011 total was $113.8 billion, fol-lowed by a drop to $102.5 bil-lion in 2012 and then the boom year of 2013.
The Associated Press reports livestock prices generally have been high, delivering exception-al profits — particularly for hog farmers — but a pig virus cut herds last year, and cattle herds haven’t yet fully recovered from drought years when numbers de-
clined.The USDA financial indica-
tors show government programs that pay farmers when com-modity prices are low will rise 15 percent in 2015, going from $10.8 in 2014 to $12.4 billion this year. The payment total had been much more steady from 2011-2013.
“Farm program payments will pick up some of the drop in price, as will crop insurance,” Babcock said. “That is why many farmers may feel that they do not have to lock in prices now and will hope for higher prices.”
Even as income falls, expens-es for supplies like fertilizer and seed are rising by 0.5 percent, another USDA report states.
Another USDA report re-leased Feb. 10 shows California remains the top state in gross farm receipts with $47.78 bil-lion, or about 10 percent of the national receipt total. Iowa re-mains second with more than $35.5 billion in farm receipts, 7.7 percent of the nation’s re-ceipts.
Rounding out the top six are Nebraska, Texas, Illinois and Minnesota.
Babcock knows there many twists and turns 2015 could take that make the year tough to forecast.
“The only way we will get much higher prices is if we get another hot and dry growing season, which could happen,” he said.
DMACC Newton hosts cover crop workshop NEWTON — Iowa State University Extension
of Jasper County and the Jasper County Farm Bu-reau are partnering with the Iowa Learning Farm to bring the latest trends in cover crops workshop to producers in this area.
The program is scheduled from 6 to 8:30 p.m. March 5 in room #251 at DMACC Newton Cam-pus. The workshop will feature practical cover crop solutions that work in this area and soil type. Pre-senters will include Iowa Learning Farm contribu-tor Matt Helmers of Iowa State University as well as a local farmer who’s put some innovative practices in place to help reduce his nutrient runoff as well reduce his soil erosion. Producers will also briefly discuss Nutrient Reduction.
Helmers, professor in the ag and biosystems engineering department and holds the dean’s pro-fessorship in the College of Ag and Life Sciences at Iowa State University. Helmers’s research work is focused on ag water resources and water quality management, specifically on non-point source pol-lution, drainage, in-field performance of vegetative filters, and the impact of crop and animal produc-tion systems on Iowa’s water resources.
As program leader for the Iowa Learning Farms, Helmers oversees the field research and demonstra-tions and advises on the technical outreach mate-rials. In both his research and extension programs Matt works closely with field extension engineers and stakeholders, commodity groups, environmen-tal organizations and state, regional and national agencies.
The workshop is free and dinner is provided. An RSVP is required and may be done by calling the ISU Extension office 641-792-6433.

USDA adds EQIP signup cutoff deadline April 17
DES MOINES — Iowa farmers have another great opportunity to receive conservation planning and financial assistance through USDA this year. The Natural Resources Conservation Service is adding a second Environmental Quality Incentives Program signup deadline of April 17.
Through EQIP, NRCS provides financial and technical assistance to install conservation practices such as nutrient management, terraces, grassed wa-terways, cover crops, manure management facilities, and pasture management. Many of these practices help reduce soil erosion, improve water quality, and even create much-needed wildlife habitat to the Iowa landscape.
EQIP, one of USDA’s most popular conservation programs, is offered through a continuous signup, but NRCS periodically makes application selections as funding allows. Last year, NRCS provided more than $27 million in EQIP financial assistance to Iowa farmers.
There are several EQIP initiatives included in the signup, where NRCS sets aside financial assis-tance for specific practices and producers. Examples include practices that improve on-farm energy, as-sist in the organic transition process, add wildlife habitat, and target certain practices such as seasonal high tunnels.
Iowa NRCS also sets aside 10 percent of the Iowa EQIP financial assistance program for the histori-cally underserved, which include beginning farm-ers, socially disadvantaged farmers, limited resource producers and veterans.
Visit a local NRCS office for more information about conservation planning and financial assis-tance to fund conservation practices, or go to www.ia.nrcs.usda.gov.
DES MOINES — The Iowa Department of Natu-ral Resources is discontinu-ing the stocking portion of its farm pond program at the Fairport Fish Hatchery this fall to invest in other pro-grams that improve fishing opportunities statewide.
“Discontinuing fish pro-duction for the farm pond
program was a difficult deci-sion because of its popularity and success over a long period of time,” said Joe Larscheid, chief of fisheries for the Iowa DNR. “However, we believe focusing efforts elsewhere may lead to increased fishing opportunities statewide.”
Pond owners who received bluegills last fall will receive
channel catfish and large-mouth bass in June 2015. Once that delivery is com-pleted, farm pond stocking will be handled exclusively by private fish farmers. Pond owners who paid to receive fish in the fall of 2015 and spring of 2016 will be con-tacted and receive a full re-fund. “Farm ponds are valu-
able resources for outdoor recreation and we want to stay involved in the proper management of them. Even though we will no longer be supplying fish for farm ponds, fisheries biologists will still play a prominent role in their management by answering questions for pond owners. I encourage
anyone who has a question about their pond to call their local DNR fisheries biologist or read about pond manage-ment on our website,” said Larscheid.
More information on many aspects related to Iowa farm ponds can be found online at www.iowadnr.gov/farmponds.

takes to prepare the camping for an upcoming trip. They also talked about their love of camp-ing and how they take pride in their campers along with the large amount of money that has been invested in the lifestyle.
“My Escape is my home away from home, which is a 15 foot trailer. My teenage daugh-ter and I have created so many fun memories with our friends and family while camping,” said citizen Terri Rock. “Dur-ing camping season I keep my trailer in my driveway, safely tucked up against my home. If a decision is made to make the ordinance more restrictive it would greatly impact the abil-ity for camper owner, such as myself, to keep campers on their own personal property. This would result in expensive off-site storage and would be extremely inconvenient for ac-tive campers such as myself and many others.”
Chambers began her presen-tation by reviewing the existing rules which are:
• No parking of watercraft, trailers, pull-behind campers in the public right-of-way.
• Parking or storing of wa-tercraft, trailers, pull-behind campers prohibited within the
front yard.• Front yard defined as area
between the front property line and a line drawn along the front face or faces of a home. Corner lots have two front yards.
• No requirement for being placed on hard surface.
• Motorhomes are consid-ered vehicles, and don’t have lo-cation restrictions, but must be on hard surface.
•Campers/trailers being pre-pared, loaded or unloaded al-lowed in front yard for 24 hours.
She also showed what the previous rules were:
• Parking or storing of wa-tercraft, trailers, pull-behind campers prohibiting within the front yard setback with the set-back being a line even with the front of the home or setback per zoning, 25 feet from prop-erty line in residential areas, whichever is less restrictive.
• No requirement for being placed on hard surface.
• Motorhomes are consid-ered vehicles, and don’t have lo-cation restrictions, but must be on hard surface.
• No camper/trailer prepara-tion, loading or unloading al-lowance.
Chambers also ran through some comparisons with other cities including Grinnell, Bon-durant, Pella and Marshall-town. Grinnell has no require-ment for hard surface and no
location requirement, in Bon-durant residents are not allowed to be park these vehicles on the street but they can be located in front of the home and must be on hard surface wherever it is parked. Pella only allows these vehicles in the rear yard, unless some hardship is determined. Marshalltown allows them on driveways, but the must be on a hard surface even if located in the side or rear yards.
From Jan. 23 through Feb. 10 an online survey was available for citizens to take and express their concerns about the rules. Nearly 400 citizens responded with staff receiving an addition-al two letters and one phone call. Of those who responded, 42.96 percent said that they owned a camper. When asked about their aesthetic preference the least restrictive options were preferred with 39.7 percent said they don’t need to be on hard surface, and they should be al-lowed anywhere on a property. Only 9.55 percent said that they should be stored off-site.
Almost three quarters of those who responded said that they agree that motorhomes should have the same locational parking requirements as pull-behind trailers, boats and camp-ers and it was about a 50/50 split on if hard surface parking should be required with 53.28 percent responding no. Finally,
72.29 percent of citizens who responded did not want to ad-just the rules to the season.
Chambers then presented eight options to the council for potential rule changes. Cham-bers recommended the council add a hard surface requirement to the rules and consider ad-justing the rules to best fit the needs and desires of the com-munity.
After discussion by all coun-cil members, along with Mayor Mike Hansen and City Ad-ministrator Bob Knabel, sev-eral council members voiced a preference to go back to the previous rules and have items in question to be on hard surfaces and to add motorhomes to the list. However, a formal vote was not taken as it was only a dis-cussion item.
“If we are going to keep the upkeep of our look, I think trailers or motorhomes need to be on a hard surface, personally, whether it is your driveway or it’s a pad in your back yard,” Council Member Jeff Price said.
Council Member Lin Chapé brought up the aesthetic issues of having unsightly campers, etc., comparing then to having an unkept home.
“I’m struck by the fact that we’re trying to present an im-age here in this community by how things look, how they ap-
pear, and I would compare a dilapidated or unsightly camp-ers or mobile homes the same way I would look at houses that are unkept and I struggle with that,” Chapé said. “I think that if we are dealing with an un-sightly property, be it a house or a camper or a mobile home that is the issue.”
Chambers said that the is-sues started when the city start-ed to be more proactive instead of complaint driven. Knabel said that it was his direction to bring it to the council after the previous changes had been made and there was confusion from citizens about what the code actually said.
In other business:• The council approved
the purchase of three D&D program properties at 615 S. Fourth Ave. E., 1018 E. Eighth St. N. and 922 E. Ninth St. N. along with the property for the housing initiative at 920 E. Ninth St. N.
• A new Project Coordina-tor position was approved to implement the Alliant Energy Grant.
• A March 1 public hear-ing date was set to approve the 2015-2016 operating budget for the city of Newton.

Jasper County’s overall youth population dropped from 9,173 in 2000 to 8,225 in 2013. The study compares statistics from those two year, county by county, in most categories.
Crawford said that aside from a 2000 Sara Lee plant closure in New Hampton, he can’t re-call any industry-related population decreases that somewhat resembles the unique impact of the Maytag plant closure in Newton.
Jasper County’s unem-ployment rate climb was 165.6 percent from 2002 to 2012 — the third-high-est among Iowa’s 99 coun-ties during that decade.
“I think, in many ways, the Maytag plant closing, was unique as it was a major employer in a medium-sized city in Iowa,” Crawford said. “New Hampton (which has a population of about 3,500) laid off a total of 625 workers. However, New Hampton is not the same size as Newton, so the resulting child popu-lation drop from the clos-
ing alone may not have been as pronounced.”
Newton Community School District’s overall enrollment declined by 64 students from October 2013 to October 2014, dipping from 2,877 to 2,813, and has dropped by several hundred students since the early 2000s.
“State school funding is based on the number of students in the school dis-trict, so if the district and county are losing students, the funding will decrease,” Crawford said.
One category, con-firmed abuse and neglect, showed one of the areas of child welfare where Jasper County is struggling the most.
There were 108 con-firmed cases of abuse neglect in the county in 2000, rising to 241 in 2013. Only nine counties in Iowa topped Jasper’s rate increase of 148.9 per-cent over that span.
The report quotes U.S. Census Bureau statistics in stating 13.6 percent of Jasper County children were living below the poverty level in 2012. The jump from 658 children in that category in 2000 to 1,085 in 2012 is an in-
PovertyContinued from Page 1A
crease of 83.8 percent.There were 17.6 per-
cent more children ages 0-4 receiving services from the Women, Infants and Children program in 2013 than there were in 2003. Nearly 26 percent of Jasper County children in that age group were getting WIC benefits in 2013.
Food assistance is an-other area where Jasper County showed a tremen-dous change.
The number of indi-viduals receiving financial assistance for food in 2000 was 1,070; in 2013, it was 5,040. The jump of 378.4 percent is second in the sate, with only Allamakee County having a larger in-crease.
There are about twice as many Jasper County stu-dents eligible for a free or reduced lunch than there were 10 years ago.
In education, the coun-ty made some progress. The county’s students im-proved their high-school graduation rate from 79 percent in 2000 to 95.8 percent in 2013.
Fourth-grade reading and eighth-grade math
proficiencies rose slightly.Jasper County’s rate of
child poverty increase is the fourth-fastest in the state over that 12-year period. Only Henry, Des Moines and Cerro Gordo counties had faster-grow-ing poverty groups. Chick-asaw County, where New Hampton is located, only had 31 percent more chil-dren living in poverty from 2000 to 2012.
Crawford said Chicka-saw County is more rural than Jasper County, so plant closures and other economic factors affect statistics about children differently in those parts of the state.
“Also, hospitals, clin-ics and government agen-cies normally are located near population centers, so there is a chance that as these populations in rural areas decrease, these enti-ties will move or close,” Crawford said. “The result is less resources.”
About 15 percent of the county’s families could claim the IRS’s earned in-come tax credit in 2012, al-most 79 percent more than in 2002.
second-degree robbery and assault with intent to inflect serious injury.
According to the motion, Noble said after re-viewing the evidence in the case and speaking with the charging officer, “a conviction beyond a reason-able doubt cannot be obtained.”
Noble did not return a call seeking comment on the case.
Court records show Atwood Jr., who is charged with second-degree robbery in the case, is scheduled for a pre-trial conference May 4. He pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Kelley pushes to improve mammogram reporting
Submitted PhotoThe Iowa Army of Pink, a group of breast cancer survivors and supporters, hit the State Capitol recently to encourage legislators to improve reporting of breast cancer screen-ings. The bill supported by Rep. Dan Kelley, which was filed Feb. 5, adds breast density information to mammo-gram reports sent to Iowa women with dense breast tis-sue. Research shows dense breast tissue can hide cancer and other abnormalities typically found in mammograms. For more information on mammograms and breast densi-ty, log on to www.areyoudense.org. Pictured is Rep. Kelley and Army of Pink advocate, Robin Elliott.
A key principle to employ when expenses outweigh rev-enues is making sure that government is operating as ef-ficiently as pos-sible. Raising taxes should be used as a last resort. The current high-pressure push to raise the gas tax by 10-cents per gallon seems to violate that principle and causes concerns.
For starters, this is a regressive tax that will hit low and middle-income Io-wans the hardest. This should be reason enough for the legis-lature to avoid the path of least resistance.
Secondly, are we certain that all the DOT’s less-essential spending has been cut and redirected to infrastructure priorities? Currently, there is $166 million taken off the top of the Road Use Tax Fund for 17 various projects and pro-grams that have nothing to do with roads and bridges. Some of this money has been going to DOT administrative opera-tions, but what about the rest of that $166 million? Is it more important than repairing our infrastructure? And shouldn’t the DOT’s administrative costs be coming out of the General Fund anyway?
I do applaud the DOT tak-ing steps towards more efficient operation of their department.
They need to be commended for the millions of dollars they have saved Iowa taxpayers thus far. However, are there other non-essentials that Iowa road funds are going towards.
What about the sculpted, colored concrete median on I-80 for 8 miles through Iowa City?
What about the new large semi parking lot at the Wil-ton rest area, less than 20 miles from the world’s largest truck stop at Walcott?
What about the new bridge in Dallas County that won’t be used for years due to the lack of an existing road connecting to it? (Yes, even Iowa has a bridge to nowhere.)
Then there is the issue of the Road Use Tax Fund (RUTF) distribution formula. Second-ary roads are approximately 80 percent of our infrastructure and it is where we see the most need for maintenance and re-pair. Yet only 32.5 percent of the RUTF is allocated for this portion. Of that 32.5 percent, only 8 percent is designated for our farm-to-market roads. Shouldn’t addressing the dis-parity in this distribution for-mula be part of the conversa-tion and solution as well?
Lastly, there is the issue of whether a gas tax increase is a long-term solution. The Leg-islative Services Agency (the bureau that is responsible for crunching the numbers for state government) has projected that revenue from the 10-cent-hike decreases over time. Transla-tion: we may be looking at an-
other gas tax increase just a few years from now.
This past week, legislators were able to read, for the first time, a study bill which pro-poses a 10-cent per gallon in-crease in the fuel tax. If it were only a gas tax hike, it would be bad enough.
However, HSB 129 also in-cludes a significant increase in various other transportation-related permits and fees.
What initially began as a proposed increase in just the gas tax, has now blossomed into a license to raise other fees at the same time. This has caused several legislators who were openly supportive of the gas tax increase at first, to be reluctant in their support of the overall bill. In their zeal to raise additional fees, the au-thors of HSB 129 have jeop-ardized some critical support needed for its passage and — in the long run — may have gone (pardon the pun) a bridge too far.
With the above accountabil-ity questions being ignored and all of the little extras that have been attached to the gas tax bill (that do nothing long-term to address the infrastructure needs), I am still a solid NO on raising the gas tax. Instead, I have offered other solutions to funding our infrastructure and my hope is that those will be given serious consideration now that the fate of HSB 129 is questionable.
Rep. Greg Heartsill (R-Columbia) serves for Iowa House District 28.
In 1565, a Turkish army laid siege to Malta, then an outpost of Chris-tianity in the Mediterra-n e a n . M u s -l i m s a n d Chr i s-t i a n s h a d b e e n b a t -tling all over the M e d i -t e r -ranean for hundreds of years. The Christians were on the defensive at the time.
Malta was defended by the Order of Malta, a group of knights whose Christianity extended to piracy. Their grandmas-ter was Jean Parisot de Valette, who wore the cross of Christ on his chest.
According to histori-ans, the Muslim Turks, skilled in the dark arts of terrorism and unfet-tered by the qualms of Christianity, nailed their Christian prisoners to crosses and then threw the crucified bodies into water, knowing the cur-rent would carry these grisly warnings under the walls held by de Vallette and his men.
In response, de Valette brought their Turkish prisoners up on the walls of the citadel, behead-ed them in sight of the Turkish army and then stuffed the heads into his cannons and fired them at the Turkish camp.
It remains a stun-ningly perfect moment in history. It is not an ironic moment because irony does not live in the midst of battle, despite hundreds of movies tell-ing us otherwise. As for religion, it is by nature opposed to irony.
The Turks “started it,” of course, which makes de Valette’s response un-derstandable and even praiseworthy to a bunch of people currently hang-ing around American culture.
But behind arguments about the nature of Islam and Christianity, behind talk of the Crusades and
right and wrong, there were, and are, those bloody-handed men who crucified the Christian prisoners, and their op-posites on the Christian side, the sweaty gunners who stuffed the staring heads of Turkish pris-oners into the big, black bores of their guns.
They probably weren’t much different from all soldiers of their time, men used to handling reluctant slaves, to kill-ing prisoners, to being reassured at the required times by the leaders of their faiths that they were doing no wrong.
They weren’t much different than us, either, just more certain of heav-en and of hell, of right and of wrong. Certainty is a terribly sharp sword.
They’re lost to us. There are no records of post-Malta suicides among veterans of either side. The military cul-ture of the time had no handy acronym for post-traumatic stress disorder. After the war, if you went back to your little farm in France or Anatolia and you walked out to the barn one bright morning and hanged yourself, per-haps people in your vil-lage murmured that you “hadn’t been the same” since you came home.
In America, some of us lust after their certain-ty, or possess it already, and we make noise about torture, about what we would do if we had those man-burning Islamist scum in our hands. There are dark mutterings of everything from burning alive to castration.
But remember, if peo-ple decided to fire heads from cannons, or drop them from planes, you would not like those who would volunteer for the job and, if you liked them when you found them, you would not like them after they’d done the job for a while.

It took just a few months shy of four years, but we finally had our first lasting bad dream. My oldest still takes the occa-sional nap and when I picked her up from daycare she told me her new fear: a big, scary monkey.
I can remember when I was about her age I had a dream about a talking elephant, which frightened me when I woke up and still has lasting effects to this day. I am not a fan of cartoon elephants or stuffed elephants but the real thing is OK.
As soon as we got in the car she immediately asked me if there were any big monkeys that could get her. I told her no, there aren’t any monkeys and asked where she saw a
monkey. She said when she was sleeping, but did not give any further detail about the dream. She told me the mon-key was big and walked like a gorilla with big lips, which she showed me with her hands around her mouth. I felt ter-rible that she had a bad dream and hoped she wouldn’t hold on to it, but knowing her I would defiantly hear about it again.
When jammie time came around she brought up the scary monkey again. She asked if the monkey could get her in her bed and my husband and I assured her no monkeys could get in the house. Every night she sleep with a stuff dog named brown puppy and we told her that brown puppy
would protect her and scare away any monkeys.
She seemed convinced enough as we tucked her into bed, but not long after I heard my name coming from her room and once again reassured her no monkeys could get her. We also added in that our dog, Homer, would protect her, too. If any monkeys came around he would bark and scare them away. We then crossed our fin-gers that the dog would keep quite and not bark at any cars driving by.
Thankfully there were no bad dreams that night, but we did hear first thing that morn-ing that no monkeys were there. She seems to be okay during the day, when it is light out, and we are having our first
fears of the dark along with her first bad dream.
As the days have gone on, we are hearing less and less about the monkey. When she asked my mom about it she told her to think of something fun, like Dora or school be-fore she fell asleep, then she would dream about that. She really liked that advice and every night since we think of something fun before she goes to sleep.
I’m hoping it was just a one time thing with the big, scary monkey but if she does want to cuddle one night to stay safe, I’m pretty okay with that.

DEAR ABBY: Do you know why people nowadays feel the need to an-nounce their pregnancies via ultra-sound pictures? I’m sorry, but I re-ally don’t want to see all that. I guess some folks think the image of a blurry, black-and-white fetus is “darling.” But to me, all I see is an up-close-and-per-sonal snapshot of a stranger’s uterus. Even if we’re best friends, I don’t need all that detail. TMI, right?
I really wish people would deliver this kind of news face-to-face. Or call me, text me, whatever. It serves the same purpose and isn’t nearly as graphic. — NOT READY FOR A CLOSE-UP
DEAR NOT READY: If seeing a sonogram is “TMI” for your sensibili-ties, all you need to do is scroll past it. It’s not as if you’re being forced to view the fetus. Being able to see the prod-uct they’re manufacturing pre-delivery helps many couples to bond with their babies, and when people are happy, they often want to share their joy. So loosen up and let them.
DEAR ABBY: I have been mar-ried to my husband for 10 years. Prior to that, we dated for seven. (We met when we were teenagers.) My problem is, my mother-in-law still misspells my name, which is Sara. After all these years, she still adds an “h” to the end of my name, regardless of how many times my husband has pointed out the correct spelling.
I don’t know why this is an issue, because we send her cards on all the holidays, her birthday, etc., with my name spelled correctly. How should I approach this with her? — SIMPLY SARA IN ARIZONA
DEAR SIMPLY SARA: If the two of you get along well, just smile and ask her why she can’t get the spelling of your name right. Then listen. How-ever, if there is tension in your relation-ship, recognize that this may be a form
of passive aggression, that confronting her will make her defensive, and she will find some other way to needle you.
P.S. Another thought. Tell her you’ve changed the spelling of your name to “Sarah” and she may drop the “h”!
DEAR ABBY: My best friend is dying from lung cancer, which I think has traveled to her brain. I am heart-broken over this. My question is, she seems different now — angry. She jumped on me when we were talk-ing about her disease. Should I just leave her be? Or what should I do? — STANDING BY IN TEXAS
DEAR STANDING BY: Your friend may indeed be angry, and she has a right to be. She may also be very scared. Continue to stand by her be-cause she will need your support and understanding in the months to come.
A diagnosis of metastasized can-cer can make someone feel alone and isolated. If she wants to talk about her prognosis, be prepared to listen. If she is too ill to get out of the house, bring the news about what is going on in her circle of friends to her. (Gossip can be distracting.) Do NOT offer advice un-less you are asked for it. And if she has a bad day, try to be understanding and forgiving.

Addington claimed “Cold Justice” was the motive behind the timing of the warrant’s execution.
“That’s my point. You then held that warrant until March 3 — until the anniversary,” Adding-ton said. “You had it the Friday before ... It makes good television to do it on the anniversary.”
Jasper County Attor-ney Mike Jacobsen ar-gued that prior to 2014, the families of Fisher and Gregory “had many bad March 3rds.”
“This was an open, unsolved cold case. I had the opportunity to start it early in my career,” Half-erty said. “ ... I think any family that is the family of a victim of this type of case deserves my atten-tion.”
Items seized while of-ficers executed the search warrant of Supino’s Al-toona apartment included notebooks full of Supino’s hand-written poems, let-ters and stories. Halferty read several versus of one poem aloud in court en-titled “Running out of time.”
“Do you even wonder how I feel when I look at what I’ve done — what I created years ago that no one else could ever know,” Supino wrote. “Shut out by the silence and driven by fear, surrounded by doubt and shame that called my name.”
DCI Special Agent Testimony
County prosecutors put the inconsistency of Supino’s statements on display Monday, as Iowa DCI Special Agent Adam DeCamp recount-ed interviews he conduct-ed with the defendant in 2009, 2013 and 2014.
The DCI special agent told Jacobsen that Su-pino never made what he would consider a confes-sion during their three in-terviews, but he testified her changing statements were evident.
DeCamp informed Supino through a March 2009 phone call that the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office had reopened the case and arranged a May 2009 interview with the suspect. Supino met with DeCamp and then-Jas-per County Chief Sher-iff ’s Deputy John Hal-ferty. The interview at the sheriff ’s office lasted five hours, and the in-vestigators noted Supino changed her story from her 1983 testimony in regard to her reason for going out to the ranch March 2, her duration at the scene and whether she or her twin brother, Tim Supino, went to the trailer door.
In the video, Supi-no first claims Fisher’s DNA would not be on her clothes through se-men, but later stated that she and Fisher were inti-mate inside the trailer in the weeks leading to the killings. She said she did not believe the jeans she claimed to wear to the CDR March 2 were laun-dered after their sexual encounter. Supino told DeCamp this could also explain any of her DNA or fingerprints investiga-tors might have found at the scene.
She also discussed a now-closed well in the 2009 video that was pres-ent at the CDR in 1983. Supino offered a scenario where a potential killer(s) could have thrown the missing murder weap-on and bloody clothing down the well culvert.
Extended versions of Supino’s February 2014 “Cold Justice” interview
conducted by DeCamp with retired Houston Police Department in-vestigator Johnny Bonds was presented by pros-ecutors. The investiga-tors were openly calling many of Supino’s claims into questions includ-ing a fight between her and Melisa Gregory in the weeks leading to the murders.
Lisa and Scott Grego-ry — the victim’s siblings — previously testified Supino had come to their house looking for Fisher when Melisa Gregory ran outside and forced the defendant to the ground in a snowbank. Supino refuted this story claim-ing the fight did not end physically on the ground.
“So then everybody else is lying?” Bond said.
“I was afraid of him,” Supino said.
She claimed she went out to the CDR not to get into a fight, but to talk about shoes for their son Rocky Supino. De-Camp pointed out that this was inconsistent with her 1983 statement that she went out to the ranch to see about get-ting an apartment and
getting back together. Bonds reminded Supino what she said in previous interviews with DeCamp — that she hoped to get a rise out of Fisher when she went to the ranch March 2.
“Since (Fisher) was being a prick, I decided to go out there, be a [ex-pletive] and piss him off some more,” she said in the “Cold Justice” tapes.
DeCamp said that he couldn’t understand why Supino would want to anger Fisher if she feared for her safety.
“All of the sudden there were all these co-incidences, and all hell breaks loose,” Supino said.
The extended “Cold Justice” interview also showed Supino contra-dicting previous testi-mony by Gregory’s fam-ily members about the location of Fisher’s social security cards after the murder. Lisa Gregory testified that Supino had the card before Fisher’s funeral and presented it to funeral home staff. Su-pino told DeCamp and Bonds she did not have the card, and it was in
Fisher’s wallet which was never found — a sticking point for investigators in 1983.
But DeCamp did concede in his cross ex-amination with defense co-counsel Jill Eimer-mann that there was still no physical evidence ty-ing Terri Supino to the scene of the murders. The defense hoped to explain the defendant’s inconsis-tencies with the 21-year gap between her 1987 interview with former Jasper County Attorney John Billingsley and her meeting with DeCamp and Halferty in May 2009.
Eimermann also high-lighted the unprepared-ness Supino could have felt during a surprise two-hour DeCamp interview in 2013 at a Waukee Pizza Ranch where she worked. The defense con-trasted that with Supino’s willingness and desire to speak with police in 2009, where the suspect came prepared with a supposed homemade case file and talking points.
Jury view TuesdayJurors were not able
to see a key piece of the crime scene Monday afternoon as originally scheduled. The state has secured and transported the trailer where Melisa Gregory was killed to Waterloo. The view is now scheduled for Tues-day. Jurors will walk to a location near the Black Hawk County Court-house, and have the op-portunity to examine the outside and inside of the murder scene.
Halferty said during testimony Monday inves-tigators in 1983 returned the trailer to former CDR owner Hal Snedeker. Af-ter he began reviewing the case in 2003, Halferty and then-Jasper County Sheriff Mike Balmer tracked the trailer to a new owner in southern Iowa. The camper was still in use and had been altered since the murders. Cabinets hanging over the bench where Gregory was found were replaced with a metal deck hang-ing 4 inches lower than the removed interior. It was not seized from the new owner until January 2014 — purchased by the department for $250.
Iowa 5th District Court Judge Terry Rick-ers said Friday the trailer has been cleaned since the 1983 murders, but prosecutors hope to give the jury a sense of the size and space the killer would have been forced to navi-gate during the attacks.

Water, air quality concerns heighten conflict with pig farms
The Associated Press
DES MOINES — Modern meat produc-tion, in which thousands of animals are packed into barns for concen-trated feeding operations, has proven to be efficient and profitable, but comes with its own set of prob-lems.
From Washington state to North Carolina, federal lawsuits are chal-lenging the livestock in-dustry to change its ways, basing arguments on studies that increasingly
show the impact that phosphorous, nitrates and bacteria from fertilizer and accumulated manure have on lakes and rivers, as well as air pollution that can be harmful to re-spiratory health.
Livestock farmers in-sist they’re trying to ame-liorate the problem by installing grass strips, till-ing less and using other techniques to keep ma-nure and fertilizer from draining into waterways.
“I have a general care and concern for the state’s water quality and I’ve per-
sonally invested my own dollars to install conser-vation nutrient retention practices on my farm,” said Bill Couser, a fifth-generation Iowa farmer with 5,200 cows. “We realize this is not going to happen overnight or in two years. This could take up to 10 years as this technology comes along.”
However, those who rely on rivers and lakes for drinking water or live near the large-scale operations — espe-cially in the top two hog-producing states
of Iowa and North Carolina — are growing impatient. Joined by en-vironmental and animal rights groups in a grow-ing number of lawsuits, they’re highlighting the debate between the right to raise livestock and the right to clean water and air.
Des Moines’ water utility, which serves a half-million people, re-cently filed a notice of intent to sue farmers in three counties populated by 1.2 million pigs and a million turkeys.
unfairly lengthened an offender’s sentence by ex-cessively punishing him for assault, a case that highlights systemic problems with inmate dis-ciplinary hearings, a state watchdog agency said Monday after a years-long review.
In a report called “Neither fair, nor impartial,” the Office of Ombudsman concludes that De-partment of Corrections officials violated policies and inmate Randy Linderman’s rights when they disciplined him for bumping a guard in 2008. The ombudsman said the case underscored question-able procedures used in dozens of hearings daily in which inmates can have sentences extended and lose privileges for rules violations.
The report determined that a prison judge or-dered Linderman into 180 days of isolation and took away 180 days of earned time — a harsh-er punishment than allowed under department policy — after being privately pressured by the warden.

Federal judge stalls Obama’s executive action on immigrationHOUSTON (AP) — The
White House promised an ap-peal Tuesday after a federal judge in Texas temporarily blocked President Barack Obama’s ex-ecutive action on immigration and gave a coalition of 26 states time to pursue a lawsuit aiming to permanently stop the orders.
U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen’s decision late Monday puts on hold Obama’s orders that could spare from deporta-tion as many as five million peo-ple who are in the U.S. illegally.
Hanen wrote in a memoran-dum accompanying his order that the lawsuit should go for-ward. Without a preliminary injunction, he said, the states would “suffer irreparable harm in this case.”
“The genie would be impos-sible to put back into the bottle,” he wrote, adding that he agreed that legalizing the presence of
millions of people is a “virtually irreversible” action.
In a statement early Tuesday, the White House defended the executive orders issued in No-vember as within the president’s legal authority, saying the U.S. Supreme Court and Congress have said federal officials can establish priorities in enforcing immigration laws.
“The district court’s decision wrongly prevents these lawful, commonsense policies from taking effect and the Depart-ment of Justice has indicated that it will appeal that decision,” the statement said.
The U.S. Department of Jus-tice will appeal the ruling, the White House said. The appeal will be heard by the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans.
The first of Obama’s or-ders — to expand a program
that protects young immigrants from deportation if they were brought to the U.S. illegally as children — was set to start tak-ing effect Wednesday. The other major part of Obama’s order, which extends deportation pro-tections to parents of U.S. citi-zens and permanent residents who have been in the country for some years, was not expected to begin until May 19.
Joaquin Guerra, political director of Texas Organizing Project, called the ruling a “tem-porary setback.”
“We will continue getting immigrants ready to apply for administrative relief,” he said in a statement. The nonprofit says it promotes social and economic equality for low to moderate in-come Texans.
The coalition of states, led by Texas and made up of most-ly conservative states in the
South and Midwest, argues that Obama has violated the “Take Care Clause” of the U.S. Con-stitution, which they say limits the scope of presidential power, and that his executive actions would be difficult to undo once immigrants started to apply for deferred action. They also say Obama’s order would force in-creased investment in law en-forcement, health care and edu-cation.
House Speaker John Boehner said he hopes that Senate Democrats will relent in their opposition to a Homeland Security Department spending bill that overturns Obama’s ac-tion. The department’s funding expires Feb. 27 and Congress has only a few legislative days to act.
Congressional Republicans have vowed to block Obama’s actions by cutting off Home-
land Security Department spending for the program. Ear-lier this year, the Republican-controlled House passed a $39.7 billion spending bill to fund the department through the end of the budget year, but attached language to undo Obama’s ex-ecutive actions. The fate of that House-passed bill is unclear as Republicans in the Senate do not have the 60-vote majority needed to advance most legisla-tion.
A group of law enforcement officials, including the Major Cities Chiefs Association and more than 20 police chiefs and sheriffs from across the country, also filed a motion in support, arguing the executive action will improve public safety by en-couraging cooperation between police and individuals with con-cerns about their immigration status.
sideways in Kentucky and the typically bustling state capital of Frankfort came to a frozen halt Monday as a storm walloped parts of the South, which unlike the Northeast, had been mostly spared this winter.
That all changed with a mix of snow, sleet and freezing rain across the region, making roads treacherous and knocking out power to thou-sands of people. Luckily, the storm arrived on a holiday, Presidents Day, when many schools and businesses were already closed and the morning commute was not as busy.
Officials also made certain roads were pre-pared this year after Southern cities — most notably Atlanta — were caught off guard a year ago when a winter storm stranded thousands of people on interstates overnight. Raleigh suffered
a similar fate last year.Still, some weren’t quite ready for the winter
blast.RL Doss said he had already used his 1987
GMC Suburban — which can haul up to three-quarters of a ton with ropes and chains — to rescue several people and their cars on the hills surrounding Frankfort. Cars were fishtailing and sliding off the slick roads.
“I look at it this way. Everybody is trying to get out, to get their last bit of food and stuff, getting home from work and people leaving for work and stuff, and it happens,” he said, shiver-ing in a pair of tan overalls pulled over a hooded sweat shirt.
Glancing at his truck, the burgundy behe-moth, he said: “I like to see what the truck can do and what it can’t do. I push it to its limits.”

50 shades of green: How studio roped men
into seeing ‘Grey’LOS ANGELES (AP)
— When Universal bumped “Fifty Shades of Grey” from August 2014 to Valentine’s Day, 2015, it seemed like a cheesy gimmick. Now that box office results are in, it’s clear that was the most bril-liant stroke of all.
The adaptation of au-thor EL James’ erotic novel debuted to an astounding $94.4 million domestic and $172 million international across the long President’s Day weekend, breaking box office records for the month of February, female film-makers and R-rated mov-ies in what is proving to be a perfect storm of intrigue, brand, and crafty execution by Universal Pictures.
“Fifty Shades of Grey” was always expected to be a fruitful endeavor — that’s why nearly every studio in town clamored to scoop up the rights to James’ phe-nomenally successful trilogy in 2012. When Focus Fea-tures and parent company Universal were the lucky winners, the hype only in-tensified as fans hungered for everything from casting rumors, to first photos of
stars Dakota Johnson and Jamie Dornan, and clues about what would make the final cut.
But fans alone don’t ex-plain a blockbuster debut, especially when the entire Northeast was battling se-vere winter storms.
Produced for a modest $40 million with no tested star-power in front of the camera, Universal and Fo-cus were hedging their bets from the beginning, keep-ing costs reasonable and stoking the buzz machine with a coy marketing cam-paign playing on the inter-est of those who hadn’t read the book.
Not only did it spark a culture-wide dialogue, it became an event movie centered on a single date: Valentine’s Day.
“It follows in the tradi-tion of the edgier, naughtier, so-called romance movies, and that paid off. Audiences like a good R-rated escape,” said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for box office firm Rentrak, noting racy films like “Last Tango in Paris,” ‘’9 ½ Weeks” and “Basic Instinct.”
One of my favorite state tourna-ments to cover is the Iowa High School State Wrestling Championships at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines.
The last few years, I have been the one per-son from my publica-tion in charge of pro-viding content of area wrestlers competing at the tournament.
That will again be the case this year.
“Wrestlers, clear the mats” is the popular phrase shouted by the public address announcer before each round begins. And it’s just one of those moments in this business that sticks with you.
Growing up in Earlham in the 1990s, the sport of wrestling wasn’t an option for athletes in my school. You played basketball in the winter or you simply did not play a sport.
So I never really understood the ins and outs of the sport until I became a sports journalist. And I learn more and more every year.
Wrestling is unlike any other sport. There is more discipline — mentally and physically — than any other sport.
Being able to make weight is stress-ful. It would be even more stressful for me if I didn’t get to enjoy the foods I like to eat. So, I give props to all the wrestlers that have ever had to avoid the consumption of something for a long period of time.
I covered West Marshall’s Dale Hil-leman at another publication last year. He wound up winning the Class 1A 170-pound title. And during the final interview of the weekend, Hilleman was drinking a Red Bull.
Didn’t sound like that big of a deal until he told me that it had been six months since he had one.
That is the type of stuff I am refer-ring to.

All eyes on Gordon’s finale for 2015 NASCAR seasonDAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP)
— Through driver changes, network shuffles, a new championship format and NASCAR’s push to reinvent it-self, the one constant for more than two decades has been Jeff Gordon behind the wheel every week of the iconic No. 24.
Well, it’s time to buckle up for what’s going to be Gordon’s final ride.
The four-time NASCAR champi-on reported to Daytona International Speedway last week to begin prepa-rations for his final season-opening Daytona 500. Gordon won the pole position during Sunday’s new qualify-ing format.
Gordon said last month he will give up full-time driving at the end of 2015, and while he didn’t rule out rac-ing a little in the future this will be his final appearance in the “Great Ameri-can Race” that kicks off the season Feb. 22.
It will be the beginning of what will surely be a NASCAR season packed with tributes to Gordon, whose sto-
ried career includes pushing the sport into mainstream visibility.
Gordon does not want the focus to be on him every week for 38 races. He doesn’t want it to become a sideshow.
“I am concerned about it. The statements and comments and acco-lades have already been overwhelm-ing,” he said. “But I want to race hard and be competitive and be focused at the race track. We’re trying to do all that we can to talk to the tracks and talk to NASCAR about how we can maintain that level of focus.”
Gordon has already offered to re-turn to race tracks in 2016, when he’s out of the car, to help with any trib-utes.
“I’m not going anywhere. I’m go-ing to be here,” he said. “And it only makes me sense for me to commit to the fans and the sport for all its given to me, and I can’t do that when I’m trying to be focused on the track.”

The Collins-Maxwell/Baxter athletic teams will remain intact for at least two more years.
The Collins-Maxwell Board of Education voted unanimously in favor of keeping its athletic sharing agreement with Baxter at its monthly board meeting Monday night.
CMB has been the athletic brand in the two communities for the past 27 years. There have been ups and downs, but Col-lins-Maxwell Board of Education member Lowell Crouse said breaking away from the current athletic model would not be smart.
“We have had a lot conversations as a group about this topic and all of
us are in agreement that it would be stupid to split with Baxter,” Crouse said. “There are so many things that would be negative if we split. There are some nega-tives in sharing too and we are working on that.”
Some of the issues that still need to be worked out between the two school districts include where games are played and where practices take place. Other things that concern some members of the Col-lins-Maxwell community include the overall identity of Collins-Maxwell when
it comes to the general public and the safety of the student-athletes who have to commute to Baxter
for practices and games.
“We are trying to lis-ten to both sides and make sure we have the best agree-ment that we can for our students and our c om mu n i -
ties,” Collins-Maxwell Su-perintendent Jason Elling-son said. “It’s changed over time and it may continue to change.
“It’s been an agreement that has worked for 27 years and the agreement has changed over those 27
years.”Two hot-button top-
ics of concern that were brought up to the board at Monday’s meeting in-volved Homecoming pa-rades and the location of where high school basket-ball games are played.
The school is required by the Heart of Iowa Con-ference to hold “Mega Nights” and to do so, two gyms that fit the state’s code are required. Baxter has those gyms. Right now, Collins-Maxwell does not.
But one option the board is looking at is po-tentially playing the non-conference games in Max-well in future years.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily NewsGoing up for a two-handed dunk is Newton High senior Jordan Travis in a recent home game. It was his first-ever dunk and he got another one on the same type of play. It is a lob-shot pass from a teammate, which Travis usually scores on during a game. On Monday, Newton delivered a 68-50 win on the road at Winterset.
WINTERSET — What is the best way to wash away the bitter taste of two straight road losses? A road victory.
Newton High’s Cardinals posted an 18-point win over host Winter-set Monday in their final road game of the regular season. The NHS boys had lost at Pella and Norwalk last week in Little Hawkeye Con-ference play.
The Cardinals came away with a 68-50 victory over the Huskies. After a 17-14 start in the first quarter, Newton began stretching its lead out. By halftime, the Cardinals owned a 53-38 advantage.
Newton stayed out in front of Winterset on a 16-12 surge in the third quarter. The Cardinals put the game in the win column, outscoring the Huskies 15-12 in the final eight minutes.
Newton improved to 8-12 over-all. The Cardinals wrap up the regular season at home Thursday against Carlisle. The varsity game tips off at 7:30 p.m.
Newton senior Tyler Wood went into Monday’s game fourth among Class 4A 3-point shooters, hitting 62-of-141 attempts this season for 44 percent. Wood, who is Newton’s all-time leading scorer, knocked down four more 3-pointers Monday on his way to a team-high 17 points.
Freshman Garrett Sturtz scored 14 points, going 7-of-8 from the free-throw line. Newton was 16-of-25 at the line as a team. Senior Nick Easley added 12 points.
The Huskies were led by Parker Klimesh with 23 points. Klimesh connected on five 3-pointers in the game. Daniel Brookhart tossed in 13 points. Winterset went 7-of-8 from the charity stripe.
Newton’s junior varsity defeated Winterset 51-34 after leading 26-14 at halftime. Trey Vanderlaan paced the Cardinals with 10 points. Reagan Maple and Tyler Stanton each scored seven points.
Scoring six points apiece were Morgan Maher, Josh Gulling and Sturtz. Justin Fischer added four points, while Brennen Dodd had three points and Grayson Graham had two points.
Newton’s freshmen lost to Win-terset, 53-41.
The NHS freshmen and junior varsity teams play their final games of the season Thursday at home against Carlisle. The freshman game is at 4:45 p.m. followed by the junior var-sity at 6 p.m. in the NHS upper gym.Newton 17-20-16-15—68Winterset 14-12-12-12—50Newton (FG/3-pt): Stout 1-0-1-2, Wood 1/4-3-0-17, Bennett 1-0-0-2, Banfield 2-0-2-4, Gholson 0/2-3-1-9, Easley 3/1-3-0-12, Travis 4-0-2-8, Sturtz 2/1-7-0-14.

Gordon has all the ingredients to top last season, which saw him come oh-so-close to a fifth championship. He won four races and was one of the strongest drivers all year, but a se-quence of events in the third segment of NASCAR’s new elimination-round playoffs knocked him out of title con-tention.
He will need to be just as good this year to have a shot at reaching the fi-nale in Homestead, where four drivers will race for the Cup.
The title last year went to Kevin Harvick, who put together a brilliant first season with Stewart-Haas Rac-ing. Harvick and crew chief Rodney Childers were the class of the field all year, and their hard work was reward-ed with the championship that team co-owner Tony Stewart promised to deliver if they moved to SHR.
The Chase format contributed to one of the most competitive seasons in recent memory and gave NASCAR momentum for the first time in years.
Now all those drivers who lost the title to Harvick are eager to get rolling again.
Brad Keselowski and Joey Logano, who made Team Penske a two-driver threat last year, are expected to be just as strong this season. The only issue is if Keselowski, who sparred with many drivers last season, will be able to just race and set aside his off-track concerns.
The lineup is different at Joe Gibbs Racing, which expanded to a fourth team by adding Carl Edwards. There was also an offseason crew chief over-haul in which only Matt Kenseth’s team remained intact. Not even Den-ny Hamlin, who came one caution away from perhaps beating Harvick for the title, was immune. Crew chief Darian Grubb was moved to Edwards’ new team.
At SHR, where Harvick was the one constant all season, teammates Danica Patrick and Kurt Busch will be looking for results. And Stewart? Well, his swagger seems to have re-turned after two trying seasons that included the end of his 15-year win-ning streak last November. An offsea-son surgery has the three-time cham-pion walking without a limp for the first time since he broke his right leg in a 2013 sprint car accident, and he seems emotionally healed after the August death of sprint car racer Kevin Ward Jr., who was struck and killed by a car Stewart was driving.
“I’m not happy about the last two years of my life, by any means, but I’ve never questioned who I am or what I do,” Stewart said. “It’s probably made my desire stronger than ever.”
He and his rivals will be featured heavily this year in marketing cam-paigns as NASCAR begins a new television package. The season will be
split, with Fox airing the first half of the schedule on its flagship channel and Fox Sports 1. The second half will be aired on NBC and NBC Sports Network.
There will also be changes to the cars and on pit road.
The Cup cars this year have small-er spoilers, reduced horsepower and drivers will be able to make their own track bar adjustments from inside the cockpit. NASCAR has also replaced officials with 45 cameras that will police pit road. The cameras will be monitored from a command center, and it will be tough for teams to dis-pute calls.
With testing banned this offseason, the teams have not gotten a good look at the 2015 rules. Some haven’t been in a car since the Nov. 16 finale.
“I’m itching to go, man,” said six-time Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson. “We’re all really anxious to get into our race cars.”

Four wrestlers from the area will compete in this year’s state meet. Action begins at 9 a.m. Thursday.
That means the first run of the “Chicken Dance” blares loud-ly across Wells Fargo Arena at around 8:30. By Saturday, the sports writers who have wit-nessed every session are about sick of that song. In fact, not hearing that song at all this week would be a true gift.
Prairie City-Mon-roe’s Tristan Clark has been ranked in the top 10 at Class 2A 126 all season long.

No. 2 ranked wrestlers on side of the 3A 195 pound weight bracket. Robertson faces 1A No. 2 Clay Meinders of AG-WSR in his first match at 220 pounds and also has top-ranked and de-fending state champion Ryan Parmely on his side of the bracket.
Dunsbergen has the No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6 ranked wrestlers on his side of the 1A 106-pound bracket.
But like Robertson told me Monday night, records and rankings are just numbers.
Both wrestlers still have to step on the mat and get the job done.
I witnessed one of the biggest upsets in Iowa state tournament history when former Iowa City West standout Derek St. John lost his first-round match of his senior year at the state meet.
Don’t know who he is? St. John was ranked No. 1 in the state and No. 1 nationally that year. He went on to win a national champioship at Iowa a few years later.
their wishes. And it’s important to Ellingson that the student’s voices are heard.
At last month’s board meet-ing, about 100 students showed the passion they have to remain one team.
Some of those same students were present Monday to make sure the support didn’t go un-seen.
“I think it’s great for the kids. They have consistently talked about what’s best for them and I have tried hard since I have been here to support what is best for the kids and listen to them,” Ellingson said. “Their voice was clearly heard in January and then again the past few months. They want to share with Baxter.”
CMB softball coach Troy
Houge is a physical education teacher at Collins-Maxwell. He sees what kind of athletes roam the halls in Maxwell every day. And he believes each school dis-trict needs the other one to be successful.
“If we weren’t sharing, it would devastate our programs,” Houge said. “For us to have suc-cess and continue to have suc-cess, we need to keep the agree-ment with Baxter. I have good kids coming up from both plac-es. I think we can have a strong softball program in a few years, but we won’t if I get just kids from Collins-Maxwell or just kids from Baxter.”
The agreement unanimously passed by the board Monday is good through the next two-year athletic cycle.
The challenge that both school districts have to keep CMB alive is difficult. And the
vote Monday doesn’t fully guar-antee that the Raiders as they are now will be around for the next 10 years.
But Crouse, Houge and El-lingson are all in agreement that the community is starting to come around.
“Some people in the commu-nity asked us last month if they could do a public vote on the is-sue, but that is not allowed. The decision has to be made by the board,” Crouse said. “In theory, if you wanted to split this up, you could just get on the board and vote yourself. But I no longer think that will happen. I think we have gained some support on this in the last month. We just need to figure out how to best make it work.”
DOVER, Del. (AP) — NAS-CAR driver Kurt Busch was ordered by a judge to stay away from his ex-girlfriend Patricia Driscoll and not communicate with her.The decision Monday by Fam-ily Court Commissioner David Jones comes after he held four days of hearings in December and January that included con-flicting testimony from Driscoll and the driver known in NAS-CAR circles as “The Outlaw.”
The judge’s order, which is good for a year, says Busch can’t buy or possess firearms or am-
munition and must be evaluated for “mental health problems re-lated to anger control and im-pulse control.”
It also orders him to stay 100 yards away from Driscoll except for “at NASCAR races and re-lated events where closer prox-imity is required” for Busch to “perform his duties as a driver or sponsored athlete.”
Busch’s attorney, Rusty Har-din, released a statement Mon-day after the ruling saying he was “deeply disappointed” and intends to appeal.
“It is important to note that the Commissioner’s ruling is a civil family court matter and to-tally unconnected to any crimi-
nal investigation or finding. Re-gardless of the Commissioner’s finding, we know that Kurt never committed an act of fam-ily violence,” Hardin said in the statement.
Driscoll, 37, filed for protec-tion in November, saying Busch assaulted her inside his mo-torhome at Dover International Speedway in September, grab-bing her by the face and neck and slamming her head three times into a bedroom wall.
She said she drove to Do-ver from her Maryland home to check on Busch after he sent several texts that led her to be-lieve he might be depressed.

Tigerhawks find win column in playoff opener
LIBERTY CENTER — The Colfax-Mingo boys’ basketball team held a halftime lead in its three most r e c e n t games but c o u l d n ’ t finish the deal in any of them.
M o n -day, that all changed.
The Ti-gerhawks led by just one at the break against South-east Warren in their Class 1A District 11 opener but dominated the final 16 minutes in cruising to a 51-32 win.
Jacob Lietz had 11 points, nine rebounds, five assists and five steals in the Tigerhawks’ win, their first victory since beating Pleasantville back on Feb. 7, 2013.
“We got off to a slow start, but we picked up our defensive intensity in the second half,” Colfax-Min-go coach John Borts said.
“The turnovers caused by our defense helped get our offense going.”
Colin Lourens chipped in 13 points and eight rebounds, while Blake Summy scored 10 and Ja-rod Nichols pulled down nine boards and dished out three assists.
Jared Myers also col-lected eight rebounds and three assists.
The Tigerhawks (1-21) eclipsed the 50-point mark for just the eighth time this season.
But the 32 points al-lowed was easily a season low.
The previous low was the 48 points Colfax-Min-go surrendered against Saydel on Jan. 30.
Southeast Warren (3-19) was led by Lance Hoch’s eight points. Jack-son Fischer also scored seven.
The Warhawks ended the year on a four-game losing streak and they also dropped 14 of their final 15 games.
The Tigerhawks ad-vance to Thursday’s dis-trict quarterfinals. They travel to Colo-NESCO (20-1) to face the No. 4 Royals at 8 p.m.
Troy Hyde/Daily NewsColfax-Mingo junior Jacob Lietz, middle, scored 11 points, grabbed nine re-bounds, had five steals and delivered five assists in the Tigerhawks’ 51-32 win in the Class 1A District 11 opener on Monday.

According to the Chinese lunar calendar, there are but days left of the Year of the Horse. The major theme of the Year of the Sheep will be justice -- best achieved through kindheartedness. What will you do in the name of justice and kindness? It’s a good time for a practice run under the philanthropic Aquarius moon.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Feb. 17). With unyielding faith in your plan, you fol-low through to make this one of your most prosper-ous years. March introduc-es you to helpful people. April brings funding for a cherished project. May is a time for travel and recon-nection with distant family. Those who resisted in the past will now sponsor your efforts. Love signs are Virgo and Scorpio. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 6, 45, 22 and 19.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Maybe you’re not ask-ing for help because you are worried about making requests of people who later will feel that you owe
them. If so, call on your angels. They are waiting, no strings attached. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Getting lost can be good. It connects you with what’s going on right now. When you’re trying to find your way back, you are very much in the moment. Finding your way is a liv-ing meditation.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You recognize people who are just trying to get through a situation. You’ve felt like those people be-fore, so let them know that they are not alone. You are, at heart, a soldier, and you will soldier on. TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Express the love in your heart so others can really feel it. Then your relationships will be uplift-ing, surprising and fulfill-ing, and you will finally achieve what you’ve long been working toward. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The eruption of ideas that come to you may not be socially or politically
correct, but don’t let that stop you from writing down what goes through your head. What simmers under the surface needs release. CANCER (June 22-July 22). This day will be touched by unusual hap-penings and idiosyncratic people. Enjoy the shakeup like it’s a roller-coaster ride. Throw up your hands and scream. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Doing something right one or two times will bring you good results. But doing the same things a hundred or a thousand times will make you rich. Establish systems and be consistent. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re usually so independent. This time, before you make a move, deliberate with friends -- and not just any friends, but a few well-chosen people who have experi-ence with or ideas on your recent life-topic. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Some say that the sleep
that comes after you’ve hit the “snooze” on your alarm is the best sleep in the world. That’s because it’s borrowed. There’s something you’ll borrow to your great delight. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). There will be delight-ful influences around you, and you will be extraordi-narily receptive to the best of them. With your out-standing imagination, you will twist ideas and make them your very own. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s not an insect spray out there strong enough to stave off your travel bug. There’s a big wide world out there for you to see, and you want to keep moving. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Life is part what happens to you and mostly what you make happen. Today the odds are in your favor, and you’ll act swiftly to create a dreamy scenario.
