Newton Daily News
On Aug. 24, at the Iowa Avia-tion Museum in Greenfield, Bill Smothers — previous owner of Johnson Aviation Inc. in New-ton, Marshalltown Aviation Inc. and Midland Aircraft Sales & Service Inc. — was recognized as a “2nd Generation Iowa Avia-tion Promoter.” Previously, Earl Johnson, founder of Johnson Aviation Inc., was recognized as an Iowa Aviation Pioneer.
The Aviation Museum noted on Johnson’s plaque, “These are the names of the persons who managed Iowa’s early General Aviation (Fixed Base) Opera-tions. They are the dedicated few who worked long hours on
mostly small, county seat air-ports and were the grass roots builders of the General Avia-tion business in Iowa as we see it today. This exhibit was the idea and gift of Howard Gregory of Des Moines.”
For Smothers, the museum noted on his plaque, “Celebrat-ing the Iowa Aviation museum’s silver anniversary, it is only fit-ting to honor the Fixed Base Operators, Pilots and Mechan-ics who continued the hard work and many hours of the Aviation Pioneers to mold General Avia-tion into what we enjoy today. A quarter century later they worked tirelessly promoting aviation in the 1970s and 1980s. Many are the sons and daughters of early
Iowa Aviation Promoters; for this reason they shall be forever known as the ‘2nd Generation.’”

Paul J. EgenesAug. 22, 2014
Paul J. Egenes, 88, of Newton, died Aug. 22, 2014, at Park Centre in New-ton.
Paul, the son of Peter and Clara (Malmin) Egenes, was born Nov. 10, 1925, in McCalls-burg. Af-ter serving his coun-try dur-ing World War II with the U.S. Army, he received his bache-lor’s degree in business administration from Grinnell College. He would later reside in Newton and was employed by the Maytag Com-pany in the risk management depart-ment, retiring after 39 years. On Jan. 3, 1953, Paul was united in marriage with Lois A. Landdeck in McCallsburg. He devoted his life to family, church and community and was an active member of the First Lutheran Church in New-ton (where he was in the choir and men’s coffee), Sons of Norway, Jasper County Historical Society, Newton YMCA board member, Newton Com-munity Theatre; Newton Public Li-brary and Newton Noon Kiwanis. In retirement, he enjoyed playing and watching tennis.
Paul was preceded in death by his parents; his loving wife Lois on May 11, 2014; a brother, Harold; and two sisters, Marcella and Eleanor. Paul will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved him. Those left to honor Paul’s memory include his daughter, Marie Leitao of Birming-ham, Mich.; his son, Matt (Dianne) Egenes of University Park, Texas; his five grandchildren, Jack Leitao, Anna Leitao, Peter “P.J.” Egenes, Michael Egenes and Kate Leitao; a sister, Helen Sarsfield of Hot Springs Vil-lage, Ark.; a brother, Orvis Egenes of Albuquerque, N.M.; many nieces and nephews; and his many friends.

Local OpinionPage 4A Tuesday, Sept. 9, 2014
With her backpack zipped, shoes tied and hair in a braid, my oldest daughter headed to preschool. I have to say that for the most part, there were no tears, and for my little miss there were none. She had a big smile and eager eyes, ready to make new friends and do a lot of playing (and learning).
Since she was born, she has always seemed ahead of the game, so it didn’t make me ner-vous sending my young 3 year old off on her new adventure. I knew that she could handle it, and so far, she has proved me right.
The weekend before, I went shopping to pick out some options for her to choose from for her first day of school outfit. To ensure that she picked out something we would both agree on, I picked out four op-tions and she goes from there. I did have a favorite, and with no persuasion on my side, she happened to pick it.
On a previous shopping trip, she had al-ready picked out her backpack — a robot, binder — with pink sparkles and notebook — a rainbow. We also had the privilege of being selected for snack day as well as “share day” all on the first day of school.
Since we have been out of our house go-ing on three weeks before of our friendly flea problem, the timing wasn’t the best to prepare, in my opinion, an adequate snack. I kind of have a problem with do-ing anything ordinary and tend to need to take things to the next level. After some thought, I settled on a treat of gummy bears and Teddy Grahams reading “Have a beary good day” and a “kabob” of marsh-mallows and grapes on a pretzel stick. Seemed healthy enough and still pretty fun. Little miss didn’t really understand what share day was, since she had never participated in one before, but we finally decided on her dance shoes for her to talk about.
When morning came, she woke up on her own, which for her is a big feat in that she is known to sleep in until well past 10. Her breakfast of choice was honey toast, shaped as a pumpkin, with grapes, or ber-ries, as she calls them and juice. She sat still as I braided the top portion of her hair, brushed her teeth and washed her face and got dressed. The garment she ended up in was a blue, pink and gray striped dress with silver sandals and a pink bow to top it off.
After a spritz of perfume to smell pret-ty, we snapped some pictures and headed for the car. I was still keeping it togeth-er, knowing I was going to have to leave her, but feeling pretty confident about it. When we got to the school, she said she was excited to see her new friends and took off for the playground. Not one to ever be very shy, she joined right in with the other kids climbing around and going down the slide.
When the whistle blew, we headed in-side to drop off the snacks and find our backpack hook. Still poised and ready to go, little miss didn’t show any signs of tears or fears. I, on the other hand, knew I would be leaving her in a new place with no one that she really knew very soon, and wished I had sunglasses, like most of the other moms in the room had.
Come time to pick her up, my worries were calmed and I received a report that she had a great time and couldn’t wait to go back. That thought was further con-firmed when on her day off, she asked to back to school. Hopefully, she can main-tain that attitude all of the way through graduation!

The first, first day of school
A couple of years ago, I heard a sermon with the theme “Life is hard, but it’s good!” That axiom has stuck with me ever since. Good things aren’t n e c e s s a r -ily easy, and easy things aren’t neces-sarily good. In life we face trials of many kinds, but those are the times when we grow, mature and perse-vere the most.
As a farm kid from northwest Iowa, I didn’t grow up with the goal of being a hospital admin-istrator, and if that is what I am remembered for when I am gone, I’ll have missed the mark. I want to be remembered as someone who responded to a calling for a greater purpose than myself — my faith, my family, our commu-nity and, in this case, our hospital, Skiff Medical Center.
Those of us who are in health-care got into the field to help peo-ple; we did not sign up for this era of health-care reform. Yet while it is hard, it is good, as well as nec-essary for the financial viability of this great country, lest we face bankruptcy as a nation.
Skiff is also on a journey of maintaining financial viability to ensure our community continues having a hospital to which they can turn in times of need. For us, that means pursuing affiliation with a larger health system.
In times of significant change, it’s not uncommon for specu-lation to arise. So before I go further, I do want to dispel two rumors that have come up: • Have you heard there is only one health system interested in Skiff Medical Center? This is false. • Have you heard that a deal has already occurred? This is also false.
I will address both of these misperceptions at greater length later in this column, but I wanted to offer prompt reassurance that, although we do have nearly 18 months of laying groundwork be-hind us, we are just beginning to dialogue with potential partners
as an affiliation team. There is still a journey ahead of us.
The need for Skiff to partner with another hospital or health system has already been deter-mined, so that is not the ques-tion for the Skiff affiliation team which is tasked with assessing and identifying the best partner for Skiff, Newton and Jasper County. The team, as established by the Skiff Board of Trustees, includes myself and the following individ-uals: Jeff King (board chair); Lois Vogel (board secretary); Dr. Paul Ruggle (Newton Clinic physician and senior partner); Dr. Zack Al-exander (Newton Clinic physi-cian and medical staff president); Mark Thayer (Newton Clinic ad-ministrator); Lin Chapé (Newton City Council); and Sheryl Tilus (Chief Nursing Officer).
The analogy that can be used here is that we are looking for a spouse, but first we need a series of dates to ensure compatibil-ity with one another. To be clear, there are several “dates” (and a compatibility analysis) that will need to occur with various po-tential partners before we know who will be the best match. This is called “due diligence.”
Skiff ’s affiliation decisions are important and are an awesome responsibility. We want to set some reasonable expectations in terms of the timeline. We would estimate that we will not know who the most compatible partner is for up to six months. After that, it will likely take until the end of our fiscal year ( June 30, 2015) to begin some sort of integration and essentially close on a deal to ensure that Newton and Jasper County have a hospital for the long haul.
In the meantime, there will be questions in all of our minds as to what the future will look like and how things might change. This is true for me, as well. However, I have made the choice to live my life in peace, living one day at a time, rather than in anxiety. If I would have chosen to live life in fear, I would have left Skiff in 2007 when a Fortune 500 com-pany exited our community. I have found that if I live my life for a greater purpose than myself, good things tend to happen. In other words, I keep life in perspective
and always work hard to do what is best for the organization and for my faith (a purpose greater than myself ). I believe if I do that, anything else that happens to me is irrelevant. I can list at least five things more important to me than my career: my faith, my spouse, my kids, my extended family and my health.
I have been very blessed in my career at Skiff and love my job, but its existence or lack thereof doesn’t change my top-five life priorities.
There is a famous quote from an unknown author that most of us have heard or perhaps was even our high school graduation motto, and I think it is fitting here: “Live for today, because yesterday is gone and tomorrow may never come.” I urge all of us not to live a life in fear, which can be regrettable. Lit-tle fault can be found, however, in living a life for a purpose greater than oneself and serving others before oneself.
So, back to those rumors I touched upon at the beginning of this article. The first is that there is only one health system inter-ested in Skiff Medical Center. This is simply not true. We have been having regular conversations with both local health systems in Des Moines, and both are very interested, and we will continue to meet with each of them. The second rumor is that a deal has already occurred. In response to that, I can assure you that, al-though the stage has been set through many months of prepa-ration, we are only beginning to establish our first “dates” with po-tential partners.
The next step in choosing a partner is many more meetings with potential partners. The affili-ation team will continue to meet regularly for the remainder of the calendar year.
While we cannot compromise affiliation talks — it is a difficult balance between often-required confidentiality agreements and total transparency — this has been and will continue to be as open a process as possible. Whenever we face uncertainty, it is hard, but it is good. Countless times we have faced adversity only to look back and say, “I didn’t know it at the time, but that is one of the best things that ever happened.”
Life is hard, but it’s good

configuration. This updated resulted combined parents answers from central reg-istration, back-to-school night and the additional week the board requested the survey be reopened after its Aug. 25 meeting.
The original results showed that parents were conflicted on a return to neighborhood schools, with 62 percent of respondents feeling that academic fac-tors, such as instructional resources, curriculum fo-cus, learning styles, teacher collaboration and student grouping should play a big-ger role in determining building configuration.
Only 38 percent of re-spondents thought that student travel, number of schools attending, grade lev-el interaction and long-term student-parent-staff rela-tionships should play a role in building configuration.
Callaghan said the official parent count on the original survey amounted to 177 participants.
With the new results fac-tored in, 359 parents rep-resenting the district’s K-6 students participated in the survey. Those parents ac-counted for 777 total chil-dren, which amounts to a third of the student popula-tion in the district, and 503 K-6 students, which is 25 percent of the K-6 student population.
According to the final re-sults, 54 percent of partici-pants felt the previously list-ed academic factors should play a role in building con-figuration. Forty-six percent of participants felt that the previously listed non-aca-demic factors should be a factor.
The board acknowledged that it received SIAC’s rec-
ommendation and would take it into consideration, however, it made it clear that this was in no way an indica-tion of any future decisions on its part.
Since the district closed Emerson Hough as an el-ementary school in a 5-2 vote in 2010, the building has been used for a variety of purposes by the district. It houses both the central and business offices, a branch of the Heartland Area Educa-tion Agency,the district’s low-income based preschool program, Drake Head-Start, Basics and Beyond Alternative School and the district’s new Disciplinary Alternative Program.
Although the board made no official moves based on SIAC’s recommendation to it, Klosterboer asked that the board eventually give the committee guidance on what its next move should be.
“We know that we need to move forward because there are decisions that will need to be made regarding this building and those peo-ple that are using the facil-ity,” Klosterboer said.
As of April, Emerson Hough serves 128 students, has 15 classrooms and five special rooms (music, art, LMC (library), guidance and physical education). The building has potential for 17 classrooms, according to a facilities study conducted by FRK Architects and Engi-neers.
“In the not so distant fu-ture, the number of class-rooms (in the district), will be maxed out in our current state,” Van Manen said.
The board plans on hav-ing a work session with FRK either on Sept. 10 or Sept. 16 to discuss district facilities.

eyesores in the community and negotiate with the own-er based on the land value. The city then demolishes the structures in an attempt to sell the properties.
Duncan said that in a lot of cases, the buildings were too expensive to rehabilitate and update to current codes. Also, some owners will even approach the city with the prop-erties so they no longer have the responsibility of caring for them. Older owners and retirees are often those who choose to work the city, as well as those who do not have the funds for needed repairs, he said.
To start the process, the city will begin sending out bid packets to potential contractors and give them an adequate amount of time to respond. After bids are submitted, the best and often the lowest bid will be brought to the city council for approval. If approved, the city will work with the contractor to establish a time line to complete the job. The entire process usually lasts from three to six months.
After properties are demolished, the city seeds the ground but does not always have an end use in mind. Of-ten times, adjoining businesses to the open lot will be in-terested in the properties and approach the city. The city is willing to look at giving incentives for development on the properties, such as reduced selling price if a new business is building on the grounds.

“Heavy rain threat be-comes the bigger issue. Pret-ty high likelihood of a lot of rain across all of Iowa with central Iowa favored to get most of the rain with two to three inches,” Hillaker said. “The place that is already the wettest is southwestern Iowa, which has seen a lot of rain the last three weeks. It wouldn’t take much rain to cause some flooding.”
Iowa is set to get the most rain out of this sys-tem, which Hillaker said has been the case for most of the summer. Northeast Iowa has been fortunate to stay on the drier side, leaving them able to handle a little bit more then the rest of the state.
After the storm rolls through much cooler tem-peratures are expected start-ing Wednesday and continu-ing for the foreseeable future.
“Friday night to Saturday morning most likely time to have the lowest temperature.
It is not quite cold enough for an official freeze, but there could be possible frost in low lying areas,” Hill-aker said. The cold weather shouldn’t cause any damage to the corn or soybean crops.
The next week will be unseasonably cool and also much drier after the storm concludes Wednesday, Hill-aker said.

Nannenga and Walker presented some of their findings in July 2014 in Osnabrueck, Germany, at the conference of the European Turfgrass Society. As part of this confer-ence, they also published a peer-reviewed article in the European Journal of Turfgrass Science.
As the research continues through Oc-tober, the data will be compiled and statis-tically analyzed to determine possible im-
plications for the environment. Specifically, how cultural turfgrass management strate-gies on athletic fields and golf courses effect the environment. One of the unique aspects of the research using an athletic field and golf course in the study is the quality and canopy greenness measurements of the turf. Current findings indicate water is a huge factor in greenhouse gas emissions, thus Nannenga and Walker are proposing a new project to evaluate water use in golf course management — a factor that has not been a part of the earlier studies conducted in small grain and sugar beets.

Progress Industries celebrates Direct Support Professionals Recognition Week
Newton Daily News
Progress Industries is cel-ebrating National D i r e c t Support Pro fe s-s i o n a l s R e c o g -n i t i o n W e e k t h i s week in an effort to honor individuals who provide sup-port and training for people
with disabilities in our com-munity.
Established in 1979, Progress Industries is a CARF (Commission on Ac-creditation for Rehabilita-tion Facilities) accredited non-profit agency that pro-vides employment training and placement, residential and day habilitation services to individuals with disabili-ties throughout central Iowa.
Progress Industries serves approximately 250 individu-als with disabilities on an annual basis and employs nearly 300 people, most of
whom are direct support professionals.
“P.I.’s direct support em-ployees are the front line of the organization’s success,” said Dan Skokan, president and CEO for Progress In-dustries. “Our dedicated staff provide individualized training and support for people with disabilities to live as independently as pos-sible. We appreciate direct support professionals for all they do to ensure our fami-lies, friends and neighbors can live with dignity and comfort.”
Ferguson city council says it plans review boardFERGUSON, Mo. (AP)
— The Ferguson City Coun-cil, set to meet Tuesday for the first time since the fa-tal shooting of an unarmed black 18-year-old by a white police officer, said it plans to establish a review board to help guide the police de-partment and make other changes aimed at improving community relations.
Those would include re-ducing the revenue from court fines that are used for general city operations in the St. Louis suburb and reform-ing court procedures, accord-ing to a statement released by public relations firm the Devin James Group.
Michael Brown’s fatal shooting Aug. 9 by Fergu-son officer Darren Wilson sparked sometimes-violent protests that led to Missouri Gov. Jay Nixon summon-ing the state Highway Patrol and National Guard to keep order. It also exposed an un-
dercurrent of racial unrest in Ferguson and other nearby suburbs in mostly black com-munities of north St. Louis County.
City leaders vowed after Brown’s death to boost mi-nority recruiting and out-reach efforts at city hall and throughout the community.
“The overall goal of these changes is to improve trust within the community and increase transparency, par-ticularly within Ferguson’s courts and police department,” Council Member Mark Byrne said in the statement. “We want to demonstrate to resi-dents that we take their con-cerns extremely seriously.”
Ferguson, a city of 21,000, is about 70 percent black. Its 53-member police depart-ment has just three black of-ficers. They mayor and five of the six city council members are white.
Some in the city have said police disproportionately
target black drivers during traffic stops. A 2013 report by the Missouri attorney general’s office found that Ferguson police stopped and arrested black drivers nearly twice as often as white mo-torists, but were also less likely to find contraband among the black drivers.
The city council has started the process to establish a re-view board aimed at providing citizen oversight and guidance for police, and it will include people who are not involved in local government, accord-ing to the statement.
The U.S. Justice Depart-ment announced last week that it was launching a broad investigation into the Fer-guson police department, looking for patterns of dis-crimination. The police de-partment said it supported the investigation and was working to earn back “the trust of our residents and our neighbors.”

DEAR ABBY: “Surfing in Peters-burg, Ill.” ( June 17) raised good points about men who use online dating services. However, many of the things she pointed out could also be said of women who put their ads on the sites. The pickings are just as slim on our side of the fence. My hints to the “fairer sex”:
(1) Don’t overdo your makeup and hair in your photos. While some makeup can enhance a lady’s look, we aren’t seek-ing someone who looks ready to go trick-or-treating or perform as a clown in the circus.
(2) Decent men don’t want to see ALL of your physical attributes on these sites. Dress appropriately for your age and don’t allow the “girls” to burst out of your low neckline.
(3) Don’t start your first conversation with, “What do you do and how much money do you make?” Intelligent men will realize that you are not as concerned with finding a quality guy as you are with looking for a fat wallet.
(4) You don’t have to speak perfectly, but the teen lingo and texting abbrevia-tions are a real turn-off.
(5) Don’t constantly complain about your ex. It provides insight as to why he opted to break off your relationship or file for divorce. — DAN IN OHIO
DEAR DAN: Thanks for the input. I had a hunch my male readers would react to “Surfing’s” observations. Read on:
DEAR ABBY: To the ladies, I advise: Don’t post a 10-year-old photo as being the way you currently look. And don’t lie about your marital status or the number of times you’ve been married. These will come back to haunt you.
“A few extra pounds” does not mean 100 pounds overweight. If you are obese, admit it and say you are working on get-ting the weight off — and make sure you are. — EARLE IN TEXAS
DEAR ABBY: For women who post photos of their pets, it’s great that you love them, but I’m only looking to date their OWNER. Same thing for travelogue photos with no one in them — what’s the point? And if you say you are active
with an athletic body, I’d like to see it. Descriptions can be subjective, and your perception might be different from mine. — DONE MY TIME ONLINE
DEAR ABBY: Selfies in the bath-room mirror are tacky. Have a friend take a picture of you. Avoid taking photos of specific body parts (lips, feet, etc.). It’s low-class.
Describe yourself in detailed terms. Every woman says she’s down-to-earth, decent-looking, caring and smart. A little originality goes a long way! — LOOK-ING IN LANSING, MICH.
DEAR ABBY: A woman should never post her previous wedding picture when looking for a new life partner. Pho-tos with the ex that you’ve ripped down the middle or cropped don’t work any better. We can still see his arm around you holding the 40-ounce beer, and it’s not a good image for us.
And ladies, if you’re looking for some-one to sweep you out of that crappy life you’re in, forget it. Fix your life first to the point where you can enjoy it by your-self, and then look for someone to share it with. We guys like our fixer-uppers to be houses or cars, not our women. — FOUND MY QUEEN ON A SITE
DEAR ABBY: I was taken aback by “Surfing’s” advice against facial hair. My beard is part of who I am. Assuming it is “hiding something” signals you may have trust issues with men. If you don’t like what you see, move on! — HAPPILY HIRSUTE IN MISSISSIPPI

Iowa man charged with hate crime in dog attack
DES MOINES (AP) — A Des Moines resident was arrested and charged with a hate crime after his dog at-tacked another man, police say.
Witnesses told police Sunday night that man later identified as Joshua Stoll and another man had stopped their car on East 41st Street and asked a by-stander what he’d said to them as they drove by. The witnesses told police that Stoll then said to his dog, “Sic ‘em, Rider,” and the dog attacked the 24-year-
old brother of the bystand-er, biting both of his arms.
The witness said Stoll, who is white, called out ra-cial slurs as his dog attacked the black man.
Stoll told police a man threw something at his car, so he and his friend stopped to ask what the man threw. The man called to his friends for help, and then they began assaulting Stoll and his friend, Stoll said. His dog jumped out of car and started biting one of the men who was assaulting Stoll, he told police.
Stoll was arrested and charged with assault in vio-lation of individual rights and for violating violation, court records say. Under Iowa law, an assault in vio-lation of individual rights is a hate crime. Polk County Jail records said Stoll re-mained in custody on Tues-day, pending $6,000 bail. Online court records don’t list the name of his attor-ney.
His dog was taken into quarantine with the Animal Rescue League of Iowa, a police report said.
Des Moines to use flags to honor 9/11 victimsDES MOINES (AP) — The city of Des
Moines plans on placing more than 3,200 flags near a popular lake to honor victims of 9/11.
The Des Moines Parks and Recreation said the “Tribute Trail” at Gray’s Lake will feature 3,213 individual flags to represent the victims.
They will be placed 10 feet off the trail on the west side of the lake.
Officials will place the flags Wednesday. They will be removed on Monday.
The parks and recreation department is collaborating on the project with Clear Chan-nel Communications and the U.S. Air Force.

Prosecutor: No charges against trooper in drowningKANSAS CITY, Mo.
(AP) — A Missouri High-way Patrol trooper will not face criminal charges for the death of an Iowa man who drowned while in the troop-er’s custody on the Lake of the Ozarks, a special pros-ecutor said Monday.
The prosecutor’s decision followed last week’s conclu-sion by the jury in a coro-ner’s inquest that the May 31 death of 20-year-old Bran-don Ellingson was acciden-tal. The finding meant the Morgan County jurors saw no negligence on the part of Trooper Anthony Piercy, who had arrested Ellingson on suspicion of boating while intoxicated.
Ellingson, a college stu-dent whose family lives in Clive, was handcuffed when he went overboard from the trooper’s boat. A life vest he
was wearing came off and he drowned.
Special prosecutor Aman-da Grellner said she would follow the findings of the inquest, which was not bind-ing on her. Grellner said the evidence did not support a charge of criminal reckless-ness against Piercy.
Grellner also responded to criticism of the inquest’s conclusion by a couple who said they saw Ellingson on the trooper’s boat shortly before he drowned. No wit-nesses have reported seeing the moment at which Elling-son went overboard.
Larry and Paulette Moreau, of Hartsburg said they were outraged that the death was ruled accidental. The Moreaus were inter-viewed by the Highway Pa-trol but were not asked to testify at the inquest.
Grellner said the Moreaus were not called to testify be-cause, unlike other boaters who witnessed the moments after Ellingson went into the water, they left the scene.
“The people who actually stayed to help the trooper, they were the ones who were called,” Grellner said.
Larry Moreau told The Star for a story published Monday he initially tried to “stay neutral” after Piercy returned to work after the drowning.
“But I thought, ‘If they come out and try to say this guy was the hero and did everything he could, I’m go-ing to start talking,’” Larry Moreau said.
The Moreaus told the patrol that Piercy’s boat sped past them and when it stopped ahead of them, they saw Ellingson in the water,
with his head above the sur-face and his life vest float-ing away. They said Piercy maneuvered his boat next to Ellingson but showed no ur-gency in helping him, didn’t turn on the boat’s red lights and didn’t ask for help.
The couple and their son were not aware that Elling-son was handcuffed and left, only to find out later that he had drowned.
Jim Bascue, who saw El-lingson in the water after the Moreaus were gone, testified at the inquest that Piercy did all he could to save the drowning man.
During the inquest, Piercy testified that he first tried the use a pole to hook Ellingson and then jumped into the lake to try and save him. He also testified that he did not have proper training to han-dle that situation on a lake.
Larry Moreau said that during the 60 to 90 seconds that his family was near the scene, the trooper was close enough to touch Ellingson at least twice and didn’t jump in the lake to help keep him afloat. And he did not give them any indication that he needed help, Moreau said.
“We could have saved him. It’s disheartening that if this guy didn’t know what he was doing, why didn’t he ask for help? And even if he thought he did know what he was do-ing, the life jacket was off the kid.”
The life vest Ellingson had on was a Type III with armholes that could not be secured on a handcuffed person. Piercy used it even though life jackets that can be used on handcuffed peo-ple were on his boat, The Star has reported.

Rolland Schnell elected as 2015 ISA secretary
Six farmers were elected to leadership positions at the Sept. 4 meeting of the Iowa Soybean Association board of directors.
Rolland Schnell, of Newton, was elected secre-tary, Tom Oswald, of Cleghorn, as president, Wayne Fredericks, of Osage, was elected president-elect and Jeff Jorgenson, of Sidney, was chosen as treasurer.
“Iowa soybean farmers look to these leaders as they work to be more efficient and productive on their own farms,” said Oswald. “ISA plays an important role in agriculture, from state to national to interna-tional levels; working to secure and strengthen new and existing markets for soybeans and support our farmers as they continue to be the leaders in national soybean production.”

Iowa officials say pheasant population rebounding
DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa’s pheasant popula-tion has rebounded, with the latest annual count of the birds showing the highest numbers since 2008, according to the Iowa Department of Natural Re-sources.
This year’s count found a statewide average of 17.4 birds per 30-mile route, the highest since 2008’s 18 birds per route.
Department officials travel 210 routes each Au-gust to conduct the count, which is possible because pheasant hens and their broods leave dew-covered grasses to dry off before feeding.
In some regions, this year’s counts were up by more than 200 percent over the previous year.
State officials and hunters hope the numbers sig-nal the beginning of an upward trend that will at least partially restore a sport that once generated a $200 million economic impact in the Hawkeye State. In 1997, an estimated 205,000 pheasant hunters spent $80.3 million in Iowa. By 2010, that had fallen to about 60,000 hunters spending $24.1 million.
“I haven’t even gone pheasant hunting the last couple of years, because the birds just weren’t there,” Tim Wolf, a 61-year-old bank president who lives in Waukee, told the newspaper. “But I’ve been driving the roads and seeing so many birds, I just about had to go into the ditch to avoid them. I’ll be out there opening day.”
As promising as the new pheasant numbers are, they still don’t come close to those seen in the 1970s, when hunters harvested nearly 1.6 million roosters. As recently as 1996, hunters took more than 1.2 mil-lion of the birds, but the population and harvest have fallen every year since, bottoming out at an estimated 109,000 roosters harvested in 2011.
Experts blame the drop on a spate of harsh winters and years of drought. They also say pheasant habitat has shrunk as farmers have expanded cropland.
The Iowa Department of Natural Resources esti-mates prime habitat for pheasants fell from 3.8 mil-lion acres in 2007 to 2.8 million this year.
The department is working with the U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture to improve habitat, with the state receiving a $1.5 million grant this year to de-velop pheasant and quail habitat on private land. The department also received a $3 million grant this year from the Iowa Habitat Access Program to expand public hunting access on private land.

Ty Rushing/Daily NewsNewton’s Heartland Co-op location won’t be affected by its parent company’s recent merger with an eastern Iowa based co-op. Heartland’s merger with United Western Coop became official on Sept. 1.
Heartland Co-op part of merger
The merger of one of central Iowa’s larg-est cooperatives, West Des Moines-based Heartland Co-op, with United Western Coop became official this month.
UWC facilities were located mostly on Iowa’s western borders and it was previously, headquar-tered in Missouri Valley. Terms of the merger weren’t an-nounced.
Heartland has fa-cilities in several loca-tions in Jasper Coun-ty, including Newton, Mingo, Prairie City, Kellogg and Monroe. Just last year, it de-molished a former fa-cility located in New-burg in the county’s northeastern corner near the Poweshiek County border.
Eric Finch, man-ager of the Newton location, confirmed the merger won’t af-fect the services his facility provides.
According to the terms of the merger, UWC’s member-owners will receive an influx of capital from
Heartland for new infrastructure, rolling stock and customer service support. All UWC employees will now become Heart-land employees.
In addition, UWC’s former terri-tory will now become District K for Heart-land. Heartland’s current CEO, Tom Hauschel, will remain in that role.
This merger is the latest in a series of mergers for Heart-land. Before this deal became official, the company’s latest ex-pansion was 2013’s merger with Council Bluffs-based Farm
Service Company.After this latest ac-
quisition, Heartland now has 71 locations across Iowa, more than 400 employ-ees and serves more than 5,500 members.
CropLife.com, a website dedicated to tracking ag retail, has Heartland at No. 22 on its list of top large ag retailers and estimates that it has annual revenues be-tween $100 and 499 million.

Largest corn waste-to-ethanol facility launchesDES MOINES (AP) — The
world’s largest refinery that turns corn plant waste into ethanol began production Wednesday in Iowa, and many national and international dignitaries in atten-dance touted the technology as a major step in the shift from the fossil fuel age to a biofuels revolu-tion.
Project Liberty is a $250 mil-lion joint venture between a Netherlands biotechnology com-pany and POET, a Sioux Falls, South Dakota-based ethanol maker. It’s expected to make 25 million gallons of ethanol a year from corn cobs, stalks, leaves and other plant residue left on fields as waste.
The king of the Netherlands was among the national and in-ternational officials who gath-ered for the opening ceremony Wednesday in Emmetsburg, a northern Iowa town of 3,000 people.
Poet owns 27 ethanol pants, seven of which are in Iowa in-cluding a traditional corn ethanol plant located at the same site as the new cellulosic refinery.
To flashing laser lights and a high-tech stage production the opening was marked with the cutting of red, white and blue rib-bons wrapped around baled corn residue.
“This is not simply opening a new plant but it is a transforma-tive moment in time. The turning of an important page of our his-tory books,” said Feike Sijbesma, CEO of Royal DSM, the Neth-erlands company. “We are wit-nessing the start of the shift of the fossil age we have lived in and we still live in to the bio-renewable age we’re entering today.”
Poet founder and executive chairman Jeff Broin said he was told many times over the past decade that his dream of making ethanol from plant waste instead of the corn kernel was a fantasy. He said he was called crazy.
“It is my hope and my belief that a hundred years from now people will remember how crazy people in a small town in Iowa changed the world in 2014,” he said.
It has taken the industry de-cades of research and billions of dollars to develop the techno-logical breakthroughs that use a cocktail of enzymes to break down plant material and newly developed yeasts to turn plant sugars into ethanol.
To provide the feedstock for the plant, farmers within a 40-mile radius of the plant will re-move corn plant residue from the fields, bale it and deliver it as needed. They’re paid $65 to $75
per dry ton. The plant will use 770 tons of biomass daily.
The ethanol industry has promised for years that commer-cial cellulosic production was near only to find the process more dif-ficult than expected. Naysayers cast doubt on whether it was even possible on a large scale.
“If you had any doubt about this industry, about the cellulosic future of this industry all you need to do is come to Emmets-burg,” U.S. Secretary of Agricul-ture Tom Vilsack said.
King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands traveled 6,000 miles to attend the ceremony and help in the ribbon cutting.
The state of Iowa invested about $20 million in the plant for engineering and construction costs through tax credits and job training funds. The U.S. Depart-ment of Energy provided $100 million in grants over seven years. Deputy Undersecretary for Sci-ence and Energy Michael Knotek said cellulosic ethanol helps the nation reach its goals of energy security, job creation and reduc-tion in air pollution.
“This is a watershed event in meeting those goals,” he said.
Similar cellulosic refineries are expected to open later this year at Nevada in central Iowa and in Hugoton, Kan.

Ray Rice, the NFL and Power
Before NBC’s “Nightly News” informed Monday’s viewers of a rare respiratory virus that has sent more than 1,000 children to emergenc y rooms in 12 states, and before Brian W i l l i a m s told his audi-ence of Presi-dent Barack Obama’s in-tentions to address the nation Wednesday regarding the country’s plans for dealing with ISIS, there was a story involving the National Football League.
The lead story had nothing to do with the NFL beginning yet another season this past weekend, with games being played or any-thing related to action on the fi eld.
The story was one of pow-er. The power, now former Bal-timore Ravens running back Ray Rice, grossly misused when he knocked his wife to the fl oor of an elevator in an Atlantic City casino in February. The power the NFL and commissioner Roger God-dell used — or failed to use — throughout a process that initially led to an inadequate suspension of Rice for his actions. And the power and apparent truth to the phrase, “seeing is believing.”
Monday morning, the gossip website TMZ published surveil-lance video on its website from inside the elevator showing Rice and his wife, Janay Palmer, en-tering and then Rice swinging at her with his left hand. After be-ing knocked out, Rice drags her to the fl oor just outside of the elevator where she remains un-conscious for several moments. Prior to Monday, only video of the couple’s exit from the elevator had been made public.
By Monday afternoon, the Ra-vens released Rice after the second video elicited widespread criticism from many, including former Iowa State quarterback Sage Rosenfels, who tweeted, “I wonder how many games the suspension would have been if that was Roger Goodell’s daughter lying there?” The NFL also announced an indefi nite sus-pension from the league for the 27-year-old running back.
Several questions arose follow-ing the publishing of Monday’s video. Why did it take video evi-dence for the Ravens and NFL to act as they did months after an initial investigation by police de-termined Rice did indeed knock out Palmer? The NFL claimed no one from within had seen the video until Monday like everyone else. If that’s the case, why couldn’t a league as powerful as the NFL get its hands on the tape?
Here’s another question, albeit one of somewhat less signifi cance. What would it take for you to not watch a football game?
Domestic violence is a heinous crime. Monday’s actions by the Ravens and NFL were undoubted-ly the result of pressure and public opinion. It was a sign that fans and the public have some pull.
Thursday night marks the be-ginning of the NFL’s new TV schedule featuring weekly games televised on CBS.
The home team this week is none other than Rice’s former employer, the Baltimore Ravens.
In a CBSSports.com article published in February that an-nounced CBS would televise eight Thursday night games this sea-son, CBS Sports chairman Sean McManus was quoted as saying, “The NFL is the most powerful programming in television.”
What if Thursday’s game be-tween the Steelers and Ravens was played in an empty stadium? What if all 71,008 seats inside M&T Bank Stadium were empty? What if CBS’ second Thursday night telecast went unwatched?
It’s unlikley any of those sce-narios play out. But they would be powerful, too.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily NewsNewton High junior Grace Coen (right) and NHS Athletic Director Scott Garvis are all smiles. Coen ran the Quad-City Times Bix 7 for the fi rst time in July, winning the high school girls’ division. By doing so, Coen earned $1,000 donation to the NHS athletic department.
Coen wins Bix 7 High School Challenge; NHS receives $1,000 for her victory
Working hills and always chal-lenging herself, Newton High’s Grace Coen has had two stellar years on cross country courses and tracks. Coen opened her junior cross country season with a strong race two weeks ago.
But Coen did something new in July. It was a challenge for her — running a seven-mile road race.
“I was told about the Bix 7 by my friend, Stephanie Jenks (of Linn-Mar). She won it last year,” Coen said of the 2014 Quad-City Times Bix 7, a seven-mile race which attracts some of the top distance runners in the world, including professional run-ners.
Coen was the fi rst high school girl to fi nish the July 26 race in Daven-port. She competed against high school girls from Iowa and Illionis in the Bix 7 High School Challenge. For her victory, Coen earned Newton
High School’s athletic department $1,000.
“I hadn’t expected to win it. When I crossed the fi nish line, two people came up to me and started leading me to the area where all the profes-sional runners were going after the race. They fi nally told me I had won, so I borrowed a phone and called my mom.”
Coen ran the seven miles in 46 minutes, 37 seconds. She said her goal was to run under seven-minute miles, which she achieved.
Coen said she always does a lot of hill repeats to strengthen her legs. “I just threw in a couple more in prepar-ing for it. About halfway through the race, I realized I had already run four miles and I wasn’t done. It was tough to push through that.”
Coen holds the Newton High dis-tance race records in cross country and track. She has qualifi ed for Class 4A state competition in both running sports for two straight years.
Coen runs against Jenks in those long distance races. Jenks is a junior at Linn-Mar and ran in the Interna-tional Assocation of Athletics Fred-eration World Junior Championships in Oregon at the same time as the Bix 7 this summer.
“We were going to run it together, but she had to run in the Worlds,” Coen said. “It was a great experience. We got to start with the profession-als, so it was cool starting the race along side of men who won the Bos-ton Marathon.
“Winning was unexpected and a great feeling to know I could do it. Also, being able to give back (with the $1,000) to my school and com-munity was tremendous. I was really happy to do that.”
Coen leads the NHS Cardinal girls into the Grinnell Invitational cross country meet Tuesday.

Newton High’s vol-leyball team is selling Dig Pink T-shirts to raise money for breast cancer awareness. All proceeds go to Side-Out Foundation.
The Cardinals’ Pink Out Night is their home match Oct. 7 against Os-kaloosa. Fans are asked to purchase a Dig Pink T-shirt or wear pink that night at the NHS gym.
“We want a sea of Pink in the stands and a lot of noise,” said Laura Rowen, NHS head volleyball coach. “Our athletic teams are en-couraged to be involved in community service and this is one that we wanted to do. We want to get the community involved, raise money for a worthy cause, plus have the gyms load and win volleyball matches.”
T-shirts are $10 each in youth sizes and adult sizes. An additional $2 will be charged for 2XL/3XL shirts and $3 additional cost for 4XL shirts. The deadline to order shirts is Sept. 17.
Shirts can be purchased at home games or by con-tacting a NHS or Berg Middle School volleyball player or coach. Also, or-
Newton is at home Sept. 16 against Southeast Polk and against Dallas Center-Grimes on Sept. 23. The Cardinal In-vitational is Oct. 5
The T-shirts will be short sleeved and safety pink with the Cardinal log background printed in metallic silver and the rest of the lettering and artwork in black.
The Side-Out Founda-tion is a non-profi t organi-
zation. It’s Dig Pink events held by volleyball teams raise awareness of breast cancer and raise money for research and education.

ATLANTA (AP) — Atlanta Hawks general manager Danny Ferry has been disciplined by CEO Steve Koonin for making racial-ly charged comments about Luol Deng when the team pursued the free agent this year.
The team did not provide any details of the discipline.
Atlanta’s WSB-TV reported it obtained a letter from Hawks co-owner Michael Gearon Jr. which cites Ferry telling the ownership group that Deng “has a little Af-rican in him” and was “a two-faced liar and cheat.”
Hawks spokesman Garin Nara-in said that team’s investigation of Ferry’s comments uncovered the racially inflammatory email writ-ten by co-owner Bruce Levenson. That discovery led to Levenson’s announcement Sunday that he will sell his controlling share of the team.
Ferry apologized Tuesday but
said he was only repeating com-ments he had heard about Deng.
“In regards to the insensitive re-marks that were used during our due diligence process, I was re-peating comments that were gath-ered from numerous sources dur-ing background conversations and scouting about different players,” Ferry said in the statement released by the team.
“I repeated those comments dur-ing a telephone conversation re-viewing the draft and free agency process. Those words do not reflect my views, or words that I would use to describe an individual and I certainly regret it. I apologize to those I offended and to Luol, who I reached out to Monday morning.”
In his letter to Levenson, Gearon compared Ferry’s comments to com-ments made former Clippers owner Donald Sterling, who was forced to sell the team this year when his rac-ist comments were disclosed.
Penn State students turned campus into the site of a peaceful and jubilant celebration after the football program had its bowl ban lifted.
They chanted Joe Paterno’s name and, of course, threw in “We Are” for good measure on Monday night.
The thousands that rallied were in stark contrast to the mess 2 1/2 years ago, when disgruntled students took to the streets and wracked their col-lege town in violence after Paterno’s dismissal.
Good times — and big games — are back at Penn State.
“We were sitting in a computer lab, and we just started running around tell-ing people, letting them know, just go-ing crazy,” fifth-year senior Brad Vasko said. “We bought a keg. Immediately.”
The Nittany Lions got out from un-der the most severe on-field sanctions imposed two years ago over the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal, learn-ing Monday that the NCAA will allow Penn State to compete in this year’s postseason and that all scholarships will return in 2015.
The surprise announcement, linked to progress the school has made re-forming its athletic program, moved the university a step farther away from the fallout from Sandusky, the former assistant coach convicted of sexual abuse of 10 boys, including acts at uni-versity facilities.
The scandal badly tarnished what had been one of college sports’ most respected programs, led to charges of a
criminal cover-up against former uni-versity administrators Graham Span-ier, Gary Schultz and Tim Curley — whose cases are still pending. Paterno, the Hall of Fame coach, was fired.
Penn State had been halfway through a four-year postseason ban handed down during the summer of 2012. Some of the 40 scholarships the program was originally docked were restored earlier than expected a year ago.
The university still must pay a $60 million fine, vacate 111 wins that came under Paterno, plus another victory under interim coach Tom Bradley, and the school will remain under monitor-ing.
The decision by the NCAA’s Ex-ecutive Committee followed a recom-mendation by former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell, whose second annual report as Penn State’s athletics integrity mon-itor concluded the university was in compliance with a 2012 agreement and consent decree.
“Senator Mitchell’s report and rec-ommendations, along with the actions taken by the NCAA today, are a recog-nition of the hard work of many over the past two years to make Penn State a stronger institution,” said Penn State President Eric Barron, who took over in February.
Mitchell said the school had made progress toward implementing a new human resources system, “fostering an ethical culture” and improving security at its sports facilities. His own five-year oversight role, scheduled to continue until 2017, might end earlier as a result of the progress that has been made, he
said.Mitchell said his recommendation
was focused on aspects of the penalties that affect student-athletes, many of whom stayed at Penn State despite the ability to transfer without penalty.
“In light of Penn State’s responsive-ness to its obligations and the many im-provements it has instituted, I believe these student-athletes should have the opportunity to play in the postseason should they earn it on the field this year,” Mitchell wrote.
His 58-page report said incidents involving the football team this year included only minor infractions.
In State College, junior kinesiology major Daniel Zambanini said seeing the news on television gave him a mo-ment of shock. He said removal of the postseason ban “just takes that weight off our shoulders, and you can kind of just be Penn State once more.”
The penalties against Penn State were unprecedented in many ways and, because of that, not well-received by many in college sports. While lack of institutional control was cited, Penn State’s missteps had nothing to do with competition and the areas that usually fall under the NCAA’s jurisdiction.
“The biggest problem I had was the effect on the student athletes in the program,” said former Big 12 com-missioner Dan Beebe, who worked in NCAA enforcement during the 1980s, including on the SMU football death penalty case. “They (Penn State’s play-ers) weren’t involved in a program that was cheating against their rivals and now all of a sudden they’re not able to participate in postseason.”

Astrograph
Yesterday’s Pisces full moon was artistically enlightening, spiritually opening and, for some, emotionally messy. Today we assimilate and organize these intangi-bles. Organizing invisible things isn’t easy work. At least Venus and Neptune are planning to assist in such a way as to help us believe firmly in what we see with our mind’s eye.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 9). You’ll shine who you are on the inside outward, and it will feel fantastic to have that congruence. Success isn’t an overnight thing, but it is a night-after-night thing, and by November you’ll take home a big prize. Fun relationships blossom in the new year, and you will take two memorable vacations with friends. Leo and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 25, 48, 25 and 1.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The Zen master suggests that nothing exists without the seed of its opposite inside of it. Go carefully and gently, because whatever
behavior you’re raging against you’re also doing in some way.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s not your fault that you crave instant gratification, but it is your challenge. Mak-ing healthy choices will depend on first making a plan — something simple and doable.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It may just be dawning on you, the thing you missed out on so long ago. You didn’t even know you needed it. Now you see the void. Noticing is the first step to filling it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You haven’t met your new friend yet, the one who is going to help you change your game. Get out and shake some hands. The magic begins with a casual greeting.
CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan. 19). Projects get complicated, causing you to reassess your level of commitment. Nothing gets done if you’re half-in or half-out. Your luck,
especially your financial luck, will improve when you decide one way or another.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Aim your competitive instincts at dead people. Whether you’re trying to be a better athlete, artist or overall person, the greats throughout history will inspire you to outdo your previous best score.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Going into autopi-lot mode will help you conserve energy. Unfor-tunately, you can only turn on this part of your guidance system to get to destinations you’ve already visited.
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Communication will get tricky, but with some sidestepping, you should be able to come out of it with truly useful infor-mation. Keep it brief and stay focused on the other person.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Tune up your internal guidance system because success will depend on clearly dif-
ferentiating what feels good and right from what doesn’t. This has nothing to do with the opinions of others.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your ideas will tend toward a grand scale, and the execution will be time consuming. Luck-ily you’ll attract helpers. Tonight’s events will pique your interest in the strange and supernatural.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). Experience only teaches those willing to pay attention and apply the lessons. That’s why you’ll spend most of the day quietly observing, trying to take it all in so you can later devise a strategy.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Why do people keep telling you who you are? Don’t let them do that. This is a good day to soundly reject any identi-fiers you didn’t come up with yourself. Declare yourself anew.
