Ty Rushing/Daily NewsMedical Laboratory Technician Megan Brant is preparing a sample for testing at the new Health Enterprises of Iowa Medical Laboratory on Tuesday. The lab, located in a space on the former Maytag Headquarters, is HEI’s first laboratory and it became operational just last month after two years of development.

New medical lab functioning at former Maytag headquarters

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

Health Enterprises of Iowa is a non-profit company that strives to provide select medical services in a community-based manner. HEI is jointly owned by a group of more than 20 of the state’s hos-pitals — including Skiff Medical Center.

About two years ago, the company got the idea to build its own state-of-the-art medical laboratory so it could provide Io-wans with another valuable service. New-ton was chosen to house this new labo-ratory, and just last month, after about a year of renovation, it finally became fully active.

HEI Medical Laboratory Director Deb Corlew is excited about the poten-tial for this new facility, which is located at the former Maytag Corporation head-quarters on the western edge of down-town Newton.

“This lab is unique because we are currently doing hospital work for Skiff Medical Center, and then we plan to get reference testing from a number of differ-ent hospitals,” Corlew said.

Corlew said that a number of Iowa’s hospitals have to go out of state to get testing completed, and she envisions her laboratory becoming a regional destina-tion for them. However, she said, servic-ing the local patients at Skiff and other HEI hospitals is still a top priority.

“(HEI) is always looking for ways to

help their member hospitals,” Corlew said. “There are a lot of tests that we will be able to do on a daily basis.”

She added that by forming this lab, they are saving hospitals a lot of money, which has become invaluable, as many smaller regional hospitals in the state are looking for more and more ways to cut costs.

Skiff has been no exception to this sit-uation. Corlew said it was part of Skiff ’s strategic plan to partner with HEI on this lab. Since the new lab has been function-al, Skiff has closed its lab facilities.

“By being close to Skiff Medical Cen-ter, we were able to take most of the labo-ratory services out of the hospital and place them here,” Corlew said. “Right now, we are just doing work for Skiff, but a few months down the road, we will have other hospitals that we will be doing work for. We just hope to keep growing from there.”

The lab does all clinical tests involv-ing blood and bodily fluids. HEI has 13 staff members at the lab and three phle-botomists who are still stationed at Skiff. Corlew wanted to clarify that if patients needed blood drawn, they should still go to Skiff.

She said the phlebotomists are avail-able 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 7 a.m. to noon on Saturdays.

Ordinance change for addition of collection

fees to outstanding ambulance billing

Special to the Daily News

Beginning July 1, the Newton Fire Department will begin implementa-tion of an ordinance change passed by the Newton City Council in June.

“In an effort to recover revenue owed to the city, Newton will be implementing a new program to pro-mote payments from those who have refused to pay their delinquent am-bulance charges,” the release stated. “Beginning July 1, a 25 percent cost of collection will be added to the bal-ance of any outstanding ambulance charges and the debt will be turned over to a collection agency.”

The Newton Fire Department noted 95 percent of Newton citizens pay their bills on time, and the de-partment will continue to work with individuals to try and keep ambu-lance fees from becoming delinquent.

“This new collection effort is for the minority who do not pay their share,” the release stated.

For more information about an outstanding ambulance bill, contact the department at (641) 792-3347.

Museum open house to showcase ‘WINDerful Tales’

By Daily News Staff

The Jasper County Historical Mu-seum will host an open house from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday to celebrate the open-ing of the Silos & Smokestacks Na-tional Heritage Area’s award-winning display “WINDerful Tales” showcas-ing how Jasper County residents have harness the power of the wind, past, present and future.

The story began with wooden and metal windmills that served the farmstead and made life a bit easier for farming families. Next Newton’s Winpower Co. developed a windmill that, when attached to a generator, producted electricity. The story con-tinues to the giant wind turbines be-ing used today.

The display was made possible by grants from Silos & Smokestacks and the Jasper County Foundation. All are invited to attend.

Chris Vernon promoted to co-chief executive officer

Special to the Daily News

Chris Vernon, president and chief operating officer of The Vernon Company, has been promoted to president and co-chief executive officer effective July 1.

Vernon will retain the posi-tion of president and continue to be active in daily business operations across all Vernon operating divisions. William F. (Bill) Vernon will continue as the company’s chairman and serve as co-chief executive of-ficer.

He worked for Harris/Lanier Corporation

He was named President of The Vernon Company in 1969 and later Chairman and CEO after his father’s death in 1974. He has received numerous honors for his dedication to the growth of the promotional product in-dustry.

“This is another step in our orderly succession planning & leadership transition pro-cess that has been occurring the past several decades,” Bill Vernon said. “Chris has proven himself as an effective leader during good and tough busi-ness cycles. He has also built an outstanding executive and administrative team which we are very proud of. They have been key in the management and growth of our business in the promotional product and graphics markets.”

Swimming not recommended

at Red Rock beachRecent bacterial sampling at the North

Overlook Beach at Lake Red Rock has shown elevated bacterial counts.

Sampling at the beaches is performed weekly by the U.S. Corps of Engineers through a contract with Iowa State Uni-versity. Due to the high readings, the beach will be posted with “Swimming Not Recom-mended” signs until further testing indicates low bacteria counts.

The beaches are tested for E-Coli and fe-cal coliform bacteria. Most forms of these bacteria are harmless, but they do indicate untreated sewage. While this week’s test re-sults showed high bacterial population at the North Overlook Beach, a larger portion of the lake and Whitebreast Beach had low bac-terial counts.

ObituariesAlfred Joseph

Dittmer Jr.June 24, 2014

Alfred Joseph Dit-tmer Jr. of Des Moines went to his heavenly home Tuesday, June 24, 2014, at the age of 76. Alfred fought a coura-geous battle with cancer for the last nine years of his life. He was born April 11, 1938, to Al-fred Sr. and Lucille Dit-tmer at the family home in Lacona, Iowa.

Alfred was raised in Lacona with his four brothers and three sis-ters. He worked at the Lacona elevator during high school and was a member of the first football team in Laco-na. Alfred graduated in 1956 as the President of his class.

January of 2006. Alfred began working for IBM as a computer field en-gineer. He retired from IBM in 1989.

Alfred’s life was de-voted to his wife, his three children and grandchildren. Al served his community as an officer in the War-ren County Sheriff re-serve, as an Explorer Scout leader, and fight-ing forest fires when he lived in Colorado. He earned his pilot’s license and owned a plane in partnership with two associates. His interests revolved around his love of the outdoors. This in-cluded hunting, fishing, photography and work-ing on his hobby farm purchased in southern Warren County.

Left to survive Alfred are his children, Scott

(Cindy) Dittmer of Newton, Dawn (Dave) Nelson of Des Moines and Dana ( Joe) Vala-dez of Des Moines; six grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.

4AOpinion

On Saturday, I spent the day at the New-ton Kart Klub. It’s an amazing facility, but the one thing that I loved experiencing at the track was the families coming together and friendships being made while enjoying one thing: racing.

This feeling, for me, only comes around for only one sport — football. I know it’s 41 days until the kickoff of the NFL preseason, but among my family and friends, football is nearly a year-round tradition.

Football is a tradition that has been a major part of my family for as long as I can remem-ber. If a game was being played during a family gathering, it was always on or being checked up on frequently. My grandpa Bud is a huge part of that tradition, with his passion of just sitting down to watch a game or playing me in a game of “Madden” or “NCAA Football.” This has expanded over the years to include my younger cous-ins, who have developed their own passion for the game.

The football tradition isn’t just a guy thing in my family. My grandmother, step-mom, sisters and cousins enjoy the antics of foot-ball. Most of the female members of my fam-ily are very traditional fans, so they don’t get picked on.

I would say one of my favorite female foot-ball fans in my family is my cousin, Deise, because she loves to trash talk and is a San Diego Chargers fan. I remember when she first told me she was a Chargers’ fan. With-out missing a beat, I told her that I was sorry for missing out on the crucial years of her learning about football. She smacked me, as she knew what I was hinting at. I also fig-ured it could be worse. She could be a South Carolina Gamecock fan.

I can’t wait to continue the football tra-dition with my family this coming season. One of the new traditions for this season will involve Sunday trips to Twin Peaks to pick on my cousin Deise while watching football. It will also have some classic tradition, in-cluding having some amazing Little Caesar’s pizza and sides dishes at my sister’s place while watching the game with my nephew, Rodney. My number one goal for the season, as it comes to family, is making the trip to the grandparents house in Creston for a weekend to watch a game and play Madden with my grandpa.

The tradition of football among my friends in high school has evolved a lot since many of us will be turning 30 soon. We used to have the tradition of an outdoor game of football during Thanksgiving weekend called the “Turkey Bowl,” which has slowly ended. Most would say its due to us getting old, but I think a major part of it is due to the fact many years have involved not major injuries, but without a doubt we could have created an archive of Skiff Medical Center advertise-ments.

A couple years ago, we made the decision to start a fantasy football league. It has many of the traditions of our outdoor game, with the exception of being outside in the cold and no physical injuries. It’s amazing how we can still trash talk like we were at the age of 18.

It goes without saying, once you find yourself getting older, friends move away and slowly life catches up with you, but the feel-ing of the tradition remains the same. It was amazing to see how this simple tradition has helped me gain a unique identity amongst the community.

In the end, my goals for the season, as it comes to friends, include:

• Going on as many Iowa Hawkeye tail-gate adventures as I can.

• Bring Madden back to the big screen.• Have a full list of new Kansas City Chiefs

jokes to text to Ty Rushing on Sundays.• Have a full list of South Carolina Game-

cock jokes for Angie on Saturdays.• Have fun and enjoy the two greatest

things that come with football: friends and family.

Friends, family, football

When I go to the softball field, I’m the desig-nated fryer. At the concession stand, I keep the parents, players and patrons fed with their little league pizza pockets, tenderloins and french fries. I love hearing the crackle of the fryer oil nearly meld with the crack of a bat from the fields outside the concession stand and the sudden accompany-ing roar of the crowd as one of their young stars gets a base hit. It really is the quintessen-tial American Saturday.

I volunteer at the North Des Moines Softball Complex. My girlfriend played on those dia-monds throughout her child-hood and last year decided to give back by coaching a group of 7-, 8- and 9-year-olds. She loves teaching the girls funda-mentals. Hitting the “Peonies” grounders, pop-flies and dead-balls gives her an appreciation for those who taught her to play the game. At 23 years old, coaching has helped her with patience and bolstered her sense of purpose in a world increasingly defined by what one possesses versus what one gives.

I started by just going to her games, but by season’s end, I found myself with a glove and ball

right beside her. It’s hard to sit and observe when someone you care about is giving so much. Volun-teerism is contagious.

There are plenty of organizations that survive on the help and generosity of others, and in many cases, donating one’s time is just as beneficial as writing a check. Shelters, schools and food pan-tries are always in need of volunteers to plan and execute activities. Perhaps the local Habitat for Humanity could use an extra worker to pound nails for a day, or Big Brothers Big Sisters needs another quality mentor.

But volunteerism doesn’t have to be sanctioned by an organization. It can be as simple as knocking on a neighbor’s door and asking if they could use a hand with those pesky weeds plaguing their garden or making sure a homeless person finds a meal one evening. It could be as easy as asking the elderly lady at the fuel pump next to you if she could use a hand with the nozzle or helping someone who is disabled hang a Christmas light display to join the neighborhood celebration.

If you’re able, I highly recommend looking for ways to give back. Even in our small little corner of Iowa, there are people in our communities who could use a helping hand. Knock on your neigh-bor’s door, walk down to the public library or go to the ball game and hear your own crack of the bat.

A day with the ballpark fryers is heaven

Students heading off to college for the first time or even to a new campus as a transfer are always full of questions. As an academic ad-viser at my university, I am happy to answer whatever a student or parent who accompanies their son or daughter might ask. Most of the questions I have been asked, however, are related to the path-way to graduation and career op-portunities thereafter.

While surely these are impor-tant areas for consideration, I be-lieve that both students and their parents might benefit from asking a different set of questions that better gets at the real goal of high-er education: to transform young people into people who can create a better world. To that end, I offer the following five potential ques-tions that students and/or their parents should ask when they meet with academic advisers, university admissions staff, orientation lead-ers, or others with whom new students interact in their first few days. I briefly unpack each here, although surely many other exten-sion questions can be appropriate as well.

1. What is the classroom ex-perience actually like? Will pro-fessors work hard to reach learn-ers of all sorts?

This is essential, since we all know that people learn in many different ways. Since most of the education in the U.S. (from K-12 through college) privileges verbal learners who can listen and take notes from which they study, this question is particularly important

for those who require different teaching modes.

2. Does advising focus only on coursework and timely grad-uation?

Some might ask, but what else would it emphasize? The answer is: A lot! If faculty members are the advisers, these sessions can be an important one-on-one mentor-ing session in which career and life tips are shared. Good advisers can help students understand not only how to prepare for their careers but also how to use the skills and knowledge they are obtaining to better their communities.

3. Are there opportunities for students to interact with faculty and staff outside of the class-room?

Students can and should be of-fered opportunities to engage in campus and community service in which their professors are in-volved, as well as in research proj-ects. These experiences not only add to students’ knowledge base but they also enhance their confi-dence and leadership skills.

4. Is the campus safe? Colleges and universities are

responsible for creating safe edu-cational spaces for students. This includes minimizing the risk that students will be harmed by some of the most common crimes oc-curring on campuses, like sexual assault and dating violence, but also that classrooms and other environments will be safe for stu-dents to express their beliefs and ideas without suffering emotional or physical danger. Is there any

written campus civil discourse set of standards? Do professors pro-tect that safe educational environ-ment even when uncomfortable conversations are encouraged (for example, would a student be al-lowed to use a racial, gender, sexu-al, religious, or other identity slur)?

5. Does the college or univer-sity celebrate the achievements of ALL students?

As a former collegiate athlete, I surely benefitted from the privi-lege many colleges and universities afford to student-athletes in terms of accolades. But much research has shown that the best educa-tional climates are those in which different skills and knowledges are not only acknowledged but ap-plauded. That means that colleges and universities must be equally excited, and share that excitement, when the Ethics Bowl Team, the Model UN, or other clubs, organi-zations, or students achieve at high levels.

I believe that advisers should be able to respond to each of the above. If not, it says a lot about the institution. In sum, students, and the parents or others who support them, deserve an education that will not only teach but transform. It is my hope that perhaps this line of inquiry can help people deter-mine whether a specific college or university is the best place for that to occur.

Corlew said the proximity to In-terstate 80, and the available space

for possible expansion at the cur-rent location helped make Newton such a desirable location for HEI to place its newest endeavor.

“Hopefully, it will grow to be a really big and busy lab. That ’s the

other part about the community in-terest. We hope to grow jobs here as well,” Corlew said.

HEI is planning on holding an open house some time in July to showcase its newest facility, and it

Police ready to abide by court’s cellphone rulingLOS ANGELES (AP)

— Officers are being briefed during roll calls, new proce-dures are in place, and pros-ecutors are considering the ef-fect on potentially thousands of pending court cases after the Supreme Court’s ruling that restricts police searches of cellphones.

From Los Angeles to New York, and in San Diego, Chi-cago and Houston, officials met to discuss Wednesday’s unanimous ruling that could make it harder for officers to quickly find incriminating ev-idence. The ruling prohibits law enforcement from search-ing an arrestee’s cellphone without a warrant unless a person’s safety or life may be in danger.

Because cellphone technol-ogy has so rapidly advanced over the last decade, more information than ever before — including personal docu-ments, photos and emails — is now stored on these devic-es. For investigators, they can be a treasure trove of suspects’ pictures with fellow gang members, not to mention text messages and call records that help police find accomplices or victims.

Few, if any, in law enforce-ment circles were surprised by

the high court’s ruling, and they said many cautious in-vestigators were already get-ting warrants to ensure evi-dence doesn’t get tossed out of trials. But they also universal-ly acknowledged that it would make their jobs more difficult, especially for the rank-and-file patrol officer.

“It’s going to be more cumbersome, it’s going to take more work, it’s going to take more time,” said Los Angeles County sheriff ’s Lt. Kent Wegener, of the Major Crimes Bureau. Wegener said his investigators routinely seek search warrants for their cases.

In Houston, prosecutors were already treating cell-phones as personal property with privacy rights and ad-vising police officers that if they weren’t given permission, they’d need a search warrant to access the devices, said Bill Exley, a prosecutor in the Harris County district attor-ney’s office.

The Constitution’s Fourth Amendment requires po-lice generally to have a judge sign a warrant that’s based on “probable cause,” or evidence that a crime has been com-mitted. But cellphones have been treated like any other

item in an arrestee’s posses-sion, meaning they could be examined to ensure the of-ficer’s safety and prevent the destruction of evidence.

The Supreme Court’s de-cision examined two cases that arose after arrests in San Diego and Boston. In San Diego, police found indica-tions of gang membership when they looked through a defendant’s smartphone, and prosecutors used video and photographs from the phone to persuade a jury to convict him of attempted murder and other charges. In Boston, po-lice used the call log on an ar-rested man’s flip phone to lead them to his home, where they found drugs, a gun and am-munition.

Thousands of pending court cases could be altered or dropped because of what would now be considered il-legally obtained evidence as a result of the decision, said Oregon defense attorney Bronson James, who authored an amicus brief for the plain-tiffs. Whether that’ll happen is unclear, and prosecutors are working to limit the case’s retroactive impact.

The ruling may also ulti-mately challenge law enforce-ment’s use of other technol-

ogy, James said, such as the U.S. government’s bulk data collection or the “Stingray,” a device that sweeps up cell-phone data in a given area.

It can take anywhere from a few hours for a judge to sign off on a state search warrant to a few days for a federal one.

Though the ruling pro-vides leeway for situations where a person’s safety or life is in danger, authorities have concerns about whether in-formation or opportunities might be missed. The San Diego County district attor-ney’s office has had conversa-tions with law enforcement on how to expedite search warrant requests when only a couple judges might be on call at night or over the weekend.

San Diego County’s chief deputy district attorney, Sum-mer Stephan, said human traffickers often run their businesses from their cell-phones, arranging prices and schedules for girls and cus-tomers by text message.

Though the ruling allows for emergency situations, “sometimes you don’t know if you have that until you look,” Stephan said. “You don’t know if the girl you were already able to rescue is the only girl until you look at the phone

and see if there’s communica-tion with another girl.”

The decision addresses worries that information may be erased remotely, allowing police to seize the cellphone and turn it off or remove its battery. Police can also place it in a special bag to isolate it from radio waves.

Many departments, includ-ing Michigan State Police, are already giving those bags to officers, said Douglas God-frey, a former Kings County, New York, prosecutor. But the bags aren’t necessarily distrib-uted widely to patrol officers or in great supply. Such new measures would require a fi-nancial investment and train-ing.

“It certainly is true that if the police are just allowed to rummage through the cell-phone of any arrestee without a warrant they can find all kinds of things that might be helpful,” said David Sklansky, a UC Berkeley law profes-sor who’s written on Fourth Amendment issues. “The court recognizes that, but the court says that privacy is not costless. Sometimes honoring the Constitution means that law enforcement does not have advantages that it other-wise would have.”

HBO film explores marriages from their startNEW YORK (AP) — As filmmaker Doug

Block sat in a coffee shop talking about his “112 Weddings” documentary, a stranger interrupted him to talk — at great length — about the state of her marriage.

She wasn’t even aware of the film, which debuts Monday on HBO (9 p.m. EDT). The conversation she eavesdropped on enthralled her. As Block gets more exposure for “112 Weddings,” during which he revisits couples for whom he shot wedding vid-eos to ask how marriage has gone, he’d better get used to such interactions.

The New York-based Block has made wedding videos to earn extra money, and sensed from the beginning there was a film there. He made sure to retain ownership of wedding footage, although he doesn’t use it without permission of the couples.

“I loved the idea of starting a movie where most Hollywood movies end, which is the bride coming down the aisle,” said Block, who has delved into personal topics for his work before. He made a film about his parents’ marriage and another about the empty nest syndrome when his daughter left for college (she’s now, at 24, back home).

He knew the time was right when he called Janice and Alexander Caillet of Newton, Massachusetts, who talked at length about why they didn’t need the official sanction of a marriage when Block filmed their “commitment ceremony.” Thirteen years later, they were getting married.

Janice and Alexander believed their word to each other was a strong enough commitment for many years. Once they had children, the legal advantages became apparent. “We wanted to make sure that nothing was going to keep us apart,” Janice said. “We didn’t need anything to keep us together.”

Some of the marriages ended in divorce. One couple has struggled to care for a sick child, another has hung on through the wife’s depression. Children and job pressures take a toll, and the relationships ebb and flow. Block focuses on 10 couples, including No. 112 as they prepared for their wedding.

When he called the couple from his first wedding video, Sue Odierna of Mamaroneck, New York, had filed for divorce the day before. The clips from the wedding seemed to foreshadow trouble: Sue seemed a lot more excited than Steve, who later grew dis-tant and found someone new. The more weddings

he shot, though, Block said he was less able to pre-dict which couples would last.

Most couples were filmed as they sat side-by-side talking about their marriages, an interesting dynamic in itself. Block tried not to take advantage of the intimacy involved. When he asked one couple what they would say now if they rewrote their vows, there was a 22-second pause before the woman said, “next question.” He left it out of the film because it felt like a cheap shot.

Interestingly, he asked all the couples if they felt they’d married their soul mates, and none said yes. Some joked about it, saying it was a lovely concept. Clearly, the dewy-eyed days are over.

“The film stresses that marriage is hard, that it takes work,” Block said. “People see that as a nega-tive, that it’s a bad thing. But it’s not.

“Life is going to throw things at you,” he said. “People get old and die. Kids are born and grow up and leave. You face layoffs or success. There are all sorts of challenges that you come up against togeth-er, and how you deal with them as a couple deter-mines whether you’re going to make it or not. The idea that it’s going to be an easy path is ridiculous.”

ALLEY OOP

DEAR ABBY: When I read the let-ter from “Undeserving Title of Mommy” (March 4), the pregnant woman who was saddened by the fact that she’s expecting a baby boy instead of the girl she had hoped for, my heart went out to her. I was reminded of something I had read about, a condition called gender depression or gender disappointment.

In the cursory search I did, it was al-most always described as what this moth-er seems to be feeling — disappoint-ment, sadness, guilt, etc. Unfortunately, this condition isn’t widely discussed, in much the same way that postpartum depression isn’t talked about. However, from what I’ve discovered, the writer is far from the only woman to experience this.

Many women describe their feelings about gender disappointment on parent-ing websites. This may be a good start, opening a discussion for this woman on what she is feeling. She should also con-sider talking to her doctor to find out what resources may be available to her as she works through this.

I hope she finds the help she needs. I wish her well. — CONCERNED IN NEW MEXICO

DEAR CONCERNED: Thank you for the suggestion. Many women sympa-thized with “Undeserving.” Read on for more responses:

DEAR ABBY: I have a son, and when I was carrying him, I felt the same way. I didn’t think I could love him like I could love a daughter. I didn’t tell anyone about my feelings and I, too, felt like a monster.

But this all changed once I held my son for the first time. I can’t imagine now living without my little guy, and I wouldn’t change him for the world.

“Undeserving” is not alone. Many women feel this way about having a son. Like Abby said, don’t rush into signing any papers, because you may find that when you hold him for the first time, you will fall in love and you would deeply regret having done so. — UNDER-

STANDING MOMDEAR ABBY: “Undeserving Mom-

my,” you are so lucky to be the mother of a prince. Every princess dreams of mar-rying a prince. You need to reread the fairy tales and get some counseling. — GRANDMOTHER OF PRINCESS-ES AND PRINCE CHARMING

DEAR ABBY: You should have also advised that woman that before she has four children — princes or princesses — she should get an education, a job and a husband so society won’t have to sup-port her little “kingdom.” Too many chil-dren have no father figure to help raise them. I spent my working life striving to educate my children, and achieving that goal is much more difficult when there aren’t two loving parents to share the job. — FRED IN THE MIDWEST

DEAR ABBY: Even if that child was another girl, there is no guarantee that she would be a girly-girl; she could easily be a tomboy, gay or prefer sports to tea parties. There is also no guarantee that the little girl “Undeserving” already has will be a girly-girl.

Abby, you were right to advise coun-seling. This unwed mother shows dis-turbing signs of living in a fantasy world. And it may well be that the precious baby boy she is expecting would be better off being raised by the father and his family. — JANE IN ST. JOHNS, MICH.

Iowa seeing rising numbers of doctorsDES MOINES (AP)

— Iowa continues to see a steady increase in its supply of doctors, despite gloomy predictions that physicians would flee the profession because of big changes in health care.

A new report from the Iowa Board of Medi-cine says 6,829 physicians worked in the state last year. That was up 2 per-cent from 2012, and up 12 percent from 2006.

The Des Moines Reg-ister reports Iowa contin-ues to have fewer doctors per capita than the U.S. average, and it faces sig-nificant doctor shortages in some medical special-ties and rural regions. But overall, Iowa’s supply of doctors has risen much faster than the state’s pop-ulation over the past three decades.

The profession is un-dergoing major changes, including new rules and practices stemming from the Affordable Care Act. That has caused grum-bling in the ranks.

“There were rumors that with the ACA, peo-ple would be leaving in

droves. But I haven’t seen that happening,” said Dr. J.D. Polk, dean of the College of Osteopathic Medicine at Des Moines University.

Also, Polk said, older doctors tend to be less comfortable with new technologies, includ-ing vastly increased use of electronic medical re-cords. But Polk predicts that medical schools, which are brimming with students, will be able to more than make up for physician retirements.

Medical-school appli-cations climbed 6 percent nationally last year to a re-cord 48,014, according to the Association of Amer-ican Medical Colleges. The number of graduates also has been increasing, with the addition of sev-eral medical schools na-tionally and the expansion of enrollment at many ex-isting schools.

The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, has ac-celerated several trends washing over the medical profession. For example, much of the care that

used to be provided in small, independent clinics is now being done in large health systems. One of the keys to the health-re-form movement is a shift to integrated care, under which various profession-als share information and coordinate their efforts to keep patients well instead of just treating individual symptoms.

The University of Iowa medical school, which ac-cepts about 150 students per year, carefully tracks the supply of doctors in the state. The UI’s count-ing method differs a bit from the state medical board’s method, but it also shows a steady overall increase. The university’s Iowa Health Professions Tracking Center reports that the number of doc-tors working in the state rose 90 percent from 1977 through 2012.

The increase in physi-cian numbers here lags the national trend, ac-cording to the UI pro-gram. From 2000 through 2010, the supply of Iowa doctors rose 15 percent, compared to a 22 percent

increase nationally. But Iowa’s general population growth of 4 percent dur-ing that decade also was slower than the nation’s, which was nearly 10 per-cent.

“We have increasing population and we have increasing needs,” said Dr. Jeff Maire, president of the Iowa Medical Society.

The recruitment effort is complicated by the fact that Medicare and Med-icaid, the government health-insurance pro-grams for the elderly and poor, pay Iowa providers some of the lowest rates in the nation. Maire also noted that demand for medical services is expect-ed to rise as Americans age and as more people gain health insurance un-der the Affordable Care Act.

The state and fed-eral governments have programs to encourage physicians to move to rural Iowa. Rewards in-clude assistance in repay-ing student loans, and, for foreign doctors, visas they can use to stay in the United States.

Cardinal girls pull out win in second game

NEWTON — It was a tale of two games at Berg Middle School’s softball dia-mond Wednesday.

Newton’s Cardinals weren’t able to curtail Knox-ville’s Panthers in the opener, losing 6-3. In the night cap of the Little Hawkeye Con-ference doubleheader, the Cardinals turned the tables on the visiting Panthers.

Newton led 3-0 at the end of three innings, but back-to-back two-run innings put Knoxville up, 4-3. The Car-dinals answered in the sixth.

Kaytlin Ahn quickly tied the game with a leadoff home run for the Cardinals. Fran

Lucas reached on an error and moved over on a sacrifi ce bunt by Bailey Davis. The Cardinals took advantage of another Panther miscue as Lizzie Stock was safe at fi rst and Lucas scored.

With two gone in the sixth, Sydney Jenkins drove in her third run of the game with a triple. Newton gained the lead and held on for a 6-4 victory.

“We talked after the fi rst game about not giving up and fi ghting to win,” Newton head coach Ashley Ryan said. “They answered the question of ‘are you going to surren-der or are you going to keep fi ghting to get a win?’”

Ashton Hoffman bat-tled back from a tough fi rst game in the circle to claim

the pitching victory for the Cardinals in the second game. She gave up six hits, walked two, and struck out two. Stock came on in re-lief, working two innings of scoreless, hitless ball. Stock hit one batter and had two strikeouts.

The Cardinal defense tightened up behind Hoff-man to play a mistake-free game. They made three errors in the fi rst contest against Knoxville.

Jenkins led the offense on a 3-for-4 game with a single, a double and a triple. Ahn had the home run and Hoffman doubled. Lucas and Stock each had a single.

“We got the big hits when we needed it and Ashton did

a good job pitching a lot of innings,” Ryan said. “Lizzie did a great job closing it out.”

Knoxville scored two runs in the third inning of the opener to take the lead. Hoffman and the Cardinals worked out of trouble several times to keep it at 2-0.

With two gone in the fi fth, back-to-back triples by Lu-cas and Davis yielded a run for the Cardinals. Down 2-1, the Cardinals could not get the Panthers out before four runs crossed the plate in the top of the sixth.

In their fi nal at bat, the Cardinals showed a spark with Hoffman reaching on an error. Audrey Lucas went in as a courtesy runner for Hoffman. Alex Hutchinson

singled to keep the rally go-ing. Davis delivered a two-run double with two gone, but that was it for Newton.

Hoffman took the pitch-ing loss, allowing 10 hits, walking one, hitting three batters and striking out one.

Davis had a triple and a double in the contest. Lucas and Jenkins each had a triple. Stock and Hutchinson hit a single each.

The Cardinals are 5-10 in Little Hawkeye Conference play and 6-17 overall. They are slated to host Class 4A top-ranked Dallas Center-Grimes tonight at Berg fi eld.

NEWTON — Late innings were good and bad to Newton’s Cardinals Wednesday in a home Little Hawk-eye Conference doubleheader against Knoxville’s Panthers.

The fi rst game was cruising along for the teams. It was scoreless through fi ve innings then all heck broke out. The Panthers scored four runs in the sixth and four in the seventh while holding the Cardinals to one run.

Smarting from the 8-1 loss, the Cardinals came right back to rally in the later innings of the second game for a 5-3 win.

Newton scored single runs in the fi rst and second innings to lead 2-0. Knoxville knotted the game up at 2-all in the third.

With one gone in the fourth, Mike McCormick and Jeff Stanton showed patience at the plate and worked back-to-back walks for the Cardinals. Bryce Tish singled to load the bases. Chan-dler Sturtz’s fi elder’s choice pushed the go-ahead run across the plate.

The Panthers scratched out anoth-er tying run in the fi fth. Newton an-swered quickly in its half of the inning.

Jordan Travis delivered a one-out triple and scored on an error. Tyler Wood singled and stole second base. McCormick connected with two gone for an RBI single.

Travis came on in relief of Newton starter Derek Wrage and pitched two shutout innings. He struck out one and did not give up a hit. Wrage went fi ve innings on the mound. He was charged with three runs on six hits and two walks, plus he struck out two.

Wood had two singles in the game and Travis tripled. Hitting a single each were Tish, Sturtz, McCormick an Stanton.

Tish scored the fi rst run of the game in the fi rst inning. He led off with a base-on-balls followed by a single from Sturtz and a sacrifi ce by Evan Shimon. Wrage grounded out to

drive in Tish.In the the second frame, Wood sin-

gled and scored on a two-out base hit by Stanton.

The Cardinals stranded eight base runners in the opener against the Pan-thers. Their only run came in sixth.

Wrage drew a one-out walk and

Travis doubled to right fi eld. Wood’s base hit drove in Wrage. The only other hits in the game for Newton were another single by Wood and a base hit by Michael Barr.

Wood took the pitching loss. He went six innings, giving up four runs on seven hits and three walks, and

had fi ve strikeouts. Barr pitched one inning, allowed four runs on fi ve hits and one walk.

Newton is 7-8 in Little Hawkeye Conference play and 9-14 overall. The Cardinals host Dallas Center-Grimes Friday at Woodland Park. They go to Grinnell on Monday.

Tish can use the bunt for hits or called on to put down the sacrifi ce bunt for the Cardinals in games. The Cardinals lost the fi rst game of the Little Hawkeye Conference doubleheader, 8-1, but came back to record a 5-3 victory in the night cap at Woodland Park.

Ben Schuff/Daily NewsCollins-Maxwell/Baxter first baseman Creighton Caple fields a ground ball in the sixth inning against Greene County Wednesday night. Greene County beat CMB, 9-3.

Errors, Greene Co. beat CMBCOLLINS — Defensive miscues pre-

vented Collins-Maxwell/Baxter from win-ning its second consecutive home game Wednesday night.

CMB committed nine errors in a 9-3 loss to visiting Greene County.

The first error occurred in the top of the first with two outs. Instead of recording the third out, a fielding mishap by CMB short-stop Spencer Gauch allowed two runs to score. The Rams added another run later in the inning, creating a four-run hole CMB couldn’t climb out of.

Another error in the fourth inning, this time on a throw to first base following a Greene County sacrifice bunt attempt, re-sulted in two more runs and an 8-1 lead for the road team.

“Very frustrating,” CMB third baseman Seth Balke said. “Very frustrating when you know you can do better. I hope it makes everyone want to do that much better the next game so tomorrow we bounce back.”

The Raiders’ only bit of substantial of-fense came in the bottom of the sixth when Balke and Zach Samson ripped hard liners by Greene County third baseman Jordan Hostetler and into left field. Both Balke

and Samson came around to score.The Raiders totaled five hits and were

held in check most of the night by Greene County pitching.

Nate Bishop suffered the loss on the mound for CMB.

“Tonight, it’s just an off night,” Balke said. “Couldn’t really hit the ball and had a couple of bad errors. Just didn’t go our way.”

CMB (5-13) plays at home again to-night against Class 3A Ballard (11-5) at 7:30.

PCM loses to No. 4STORY CITY — A four-run fourth in-

ning separated fourth-ranked Roland-Sto-ry from Prairie City-Monroe Wednesday night.

The Norsemen defeated PCM, 5-1, af-ter both teams scored one run each in the second inning.

PCM freshman Luke Greiner pitched five innings in defeat. He gave up only three hits but walked five.

Junior Jerod DeVries drove in the Mus-tangs’ only run when he singled home Aus-tin Brown. Senior Zach Uhlenhopp went 2-for-3 and was the only other PCM batter to record a hit.

PCM (9-9) plays another highly-ranked opponent tonight at 7:30 when the Mus-tangs take on Class 1A No. 1 Twin Cedars (20-0).

Area baseball roundup: CMB, PCM drop conference games

COLLINS — One winning streak ended another Wednesday night.

Greene County won its seventh in a row by defeating Collins-Maxwell/Baxter, 2-1, handing the Raiders their first loss in the team’s last six games.

Greene County pitcher Maris-

sa Promes stymied CMB’s offense. Promes threw a complete game that featured 10 strikeouts while allowing only two hits.

CMB scored its lone run in the bottom of the fourth inning. Taylor Ross reached base on a fielder’s choice and advanced to second as the Rams tagged Mackenzie Schmitz out at third on the play. Payge Jurgens sin-gled Ross home a few batters later to tie the game at 1.

The Rams answered back two in-nings later and scored what became the winning run in the top of the sixth.

CMB pitcher Heather Jessen did what she could to keep the Raiders within reach. She got out of a bases-loaded jam in the top of the second by recording a strikeout and catching a pop up to end the Rams’ threat. Four times she stranded a Greene County runner at third to end an inning. She gave up nine hits, the second-fewest Greene County has had in its last six wins. The Rams had eight hits against Colfax-Mingo on Monday.

Greene County improved to 12-2 in HOIC play while the loss dropped CMB to 8-6 in league games.

PCM earns HOIC victorySTORY CITY — The Mustangs

swept their season series with Ro-land-Story Wednesday night by de-feating the Norsemen, 7-3.

Katie VandeWall led PCM’s of-fense by going 2-for-3 with two RBI.

Jen Uitermarkt added a double and also drove in a run during her two-hit night.

Racheal Freland picked up her eighth win in the circle this season. She struck out five in the victory.

Freland was also the pitcher of re-cord when PCM beat Roland-Story, 15-2, in the teams’ first meeting on June 4.

PCM (14-7) travels to Colfax for a game against the Tigerhawks tonight at 7.

C-M drops third straightJEWELL — A pair of third-inning

miscues led to Colfax-Mingo’s third consecutive loss Wednesday night.

South Hamilton topped the Tiger-hawks, 3-1, thanks in part to a two-out rally in the bottom of the third. An error by Colfax-Mingo left fielder Brooke Nicholson allowed Kayla Lu-cas to score the Hawks’ first run. Ady Wintermote crossed home plate a few plays later following a wild pitch from Amy Russell for a 2-0 lead.

The Tigerhawks struggled to turn hits into runs against Wintermote, who pitched all seven innings for South Hamilton. Wintermote kept Colfax-Mingo in check by scattering seven hits and holding the Tigerhawks 3-4-5 hitters to one hit total all night.

Russell drove in Colfax-Min-go’s lone run on a two-out single in the fifth inning. The freshman also pitched six innings and gave up eight hits in the loss.

Area softball roundup: Greene County snaps CMB’s winning streak

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Dansby Swanson and Rhett Wiseman came oh-so close to hitting home runs for Vanderbilt early in the College World Series.

John Norwood finally got a ball to clear the fence, and his timing was im-peccable — in the third and deciding game of the CWS finals.

His tie-breaking homer into the left-field bullpen against Nick Howard in the eighth inning Wednesday night at TD Ameritrade Park delivered a 3-2 victory over Virginia that gave the Commodores’ their first national championship in a men’s sport.

“I just was hoping that it didn’t have enough top spin that it would hit the fence,” coach Tim Corbin said. “They had seen two already — Dansby’s and Rhett’s — and they were 6 inches away from being home runs.

“But Johnny’s strength and bat speed, with the velocity of How-ard, that doesn’t happen to that kid. A 97-mile-an-hour fastball, and for someone to turn it around like that, takes a great amount of ability.”

TD Ameritrade Park had yielded only two homers in this CWS and a total of 24 in the four years the event has been played at the cavernous sta-dium.

“I thought it was gone, but you nev-er know in this park,” Norwood said.

“I was just hoping it went out, and if it didn’t, I knew my teammates would pick me up. It’s a home run, but it’s also a team effort to get here. We were confident the whole entire year.”

It was Norwood’s third homer of the year, his first since April 19, and Vanderbilt’s first since May 16. It also was only the third home run in 16 CWS games this year and the 22nd in 72 games by the Commodores (51-21).

“He put a heck of a swing on an el-evated fastball, and he hit it and knew it was gone,” Swanson said. “So I had a little trust in him that it would get out.”

The Cavaliers (53-16) loaded the bases with one out in the eighth when Adam Ravenelle hit Kenny Towns. But Mike Papi was forced out at home on a chopper to Ravenelle, and Bran-don Downes grounded out.

The title was secured when Rav-enelle struck out Daniel Pinero. The school’s only other title came in wom-en’s bowling in 2007.

“This dog pile was by far the best,” first baseman Zander Wiel said. “These guys are my brothers and to celebrate this with them is just incredible. It’s just so special to be a part of history. Everybody here represents Vanderbilt in the best way, and I’m glad to be a part of the first men’s national champi-onship in history.”

Vanderbilt wins CWS Giants pitcher throws no-hitterSAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The

shaggy hair, overpowering fastball and consistent dominance have been replaced by a mustache, off-speed pitches and a long stretch of medi-ocrity.

Tim Lincecum has undergone quite a transformation since burst-ing on the scene as the undersized Freak who dominated bulky slug-gers. Through it all, Lincecum has remained a fan favorite in San Fran-cisco for his ability to produce mem-orable performances.

Lincecum pitched his second no-hitter against the San Diego Padres in less than a year, allowing only one runner Wednesday and leading the San Francisco Giants to a 4-0 win.

“Right now I guess I can say it’s really cool,” Lincecum said. “When I get older I can reflect on that a lit-tle more and just take it in for what it’s worth. Right now I’m still kind of in the moment.”

Lincecum shut down the weak-est-hitting team in the majors, striking out six and walking one in a 113-pitch outing — 35 fewer than he needed last July 13 against the Padres in his first no-hitter.

Lincecum retired the final 23 bat-ters after walking Chase Headley in the second inning, relying much more on his off-speed stuff than his

fastball. Though the Padres hit a few balls hard, San Francisco field-ers didn’t need to make any excep-tional plays to preserve Lincecum’s gem.

“I’ve always been that guy who will kind of go for the strikeout,” Lincecum said. “I think my first no-hitter I had 13, so I think I was go-ing for those a little bit more often.”

“Today I tried to be a little bit more efficient and take what they were going to give me. They were giving me a lot of groundballs and a lot of pop flies, so I was just going to try to keep attacking the way that I was,” he said.

The right-hander with two NL Cy Young Awards became just the second pitcher in major league his-tory to no-hit the same team twice. Hall of Famer Addie Joss did it for Cleveland against the Chicago White Sox with a perfect game in 1908 and a no-hitter in 1910.

Lincecum (6-5) threw the 16th no-hitter in Giants’ history. Just one other pitcher has thrown two for the team: Christy Mathewson for the New York Giants more than 100 years ago.

“It’s hard enough to do one,” Gi-ants manager Bruce Bochy said. “To do two, that puts you in a little dif-ferent class. I couldn’t be happier.”

Astrograph

The optimist suggests that you actually can do everything; you just can’t do it all at once. The eve of the new moon in Can-cer is a perfect moment to prioritize your efforts. The moon, Mercury and Venus all in Gemini sug-gests that you talk over your plans with friends, loved ones and business associates because they’ll have valuable insights.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (June 26). A trial is over, and you’re ready to play! July will improve your status, and a new friend will entertain and help you. The enthusiasm you bring to work will translate into bonus money in September. Projects relating to writ-ing, marketing, publish-ing and the like open new income sources. Hot dates show up in October and December. Libra and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 20, 45, 13 and 9.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). It’s better to take off a small chunk of a project and see what you can do with it than to tackle a large chunk that you’ll

be unable to finish in a reasonable time period. Leave large margins for human error.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s better to share something you made instead of the commer-cial version. People want to experience the special thing you do, not what anyone with the money could buy.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Karma will swing around for those who have wronged you. Not that you were waiting for it, but it’s still comforting when the universe bal-ances itself out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You are present and sharp. You’ll quickly respond to others in a way you didn’t feel up to yesterday. You fully inhabit the moment, and it bends and stretches to love you back.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The new venture is, at this point, not quite exciting enough to pull you forward. You’re not reaching far enough with this one! When you look

back at these first moves, they will seem laughably conservative.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You haven’t had the time to spend on the thing that really mat-ters to you, because you haven’t made the time. Willfully take control of the schedule, or it’s not going to happen.

CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan. 19). Confidence and comfort will be intrinsically linked. If you’re perfectly dressed for the occasion at hand, you’ll have a distinct advantage. Looking and feeling good help you shine.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). If very few people have ac-complished something, there is a good reason: Excellence doesn’t hap-pen overnight. You’ll be inspired, and you’ll make a commitment to rise to the level of excellence in a new area.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Make up your own mind about people. Rumors will fly, but don’t

believe what you hear. Go straight to the source whenever possible, or, better yet, just don’t take part in the drama.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A deeper look into your possessions will re-veal what you have, what you thought you’d lost and what you’d totally forgotten about. It also will prevent unnecessary future purchases.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You’ve developed your aesthetic through the years. It’s not always the easiest thing to have a high level of taste, though. The rest of the world rarely complies. That’s why you’ll be so happy with today’s discovery.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There is no “what-ever” in your vocabulary. There is only what you would prefer, and you’re not afraid to let people know that in the nicest way possible. The world will bow to your com-mand of language.
