Newton school district could be debt free in 2 years

In two years the Newton Com-munity School District could become free of any outstanding debt obliga-tions, according to Superintendent Bob Callaghan.

The district has been using funds from its local option/statewide sales and services tax fund to pay off its debt service fund instead of raising the property tax levy. Off the top of his head, Callaghan estimated the district had a little more than $2 mil-lion left on the balance for its debt.

“We feel that our debt will be paid in full within two years,” he said.

C a l l a g h a n made this an-nouncement as he was filling in for District Business Man-ager Gayle Isaac in delivering the district’s trea-surer’s report at Monday’s board of education meeting.

The report covers the district’s ex-penditures and revenues for the 2013-2014 fiscal year, which ended on June 30.

According the report, the district

begin the ‘14 fiscal year with a general fund balance of around $3.4 million and ended the year at a little more than $2.9 million. This was due to the district spending around $500,000 more on its expenses than it had in revenue, Callaghan said.

“... We had to go into our savings accounts to pay for everything we spent last year,” Callaghan said.

In total, the district had around $29.6 million in revenues and $30.1 million in expenditures for the ‘14 fiscal year. The report also indi-cates that the district finished with $412,379.50 in its student activity fund, $1,197,228.18 in its manage-ment levy fund, $830,433.55 in the

physical plant and equipment levy fund and $818,744.78 in the enter-prise fund.

“Budgetarily, there has been great efforts to try and bring everything so that we are in good stead financially throughout the board,” Callaghan said.

Callaghan said this report is proof that the district’s efforts to conserve funds have been working after it froze budgets and cut costs in February after Isaac forecast the district was going to be in a $1.6 to $1.9 million deficit.

Man sentenced to 10 years in teen’s death

A Newton man pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 10 years in prison Monday for vehicular homicide in the death of a local teenager.

Daniel L. Edwards, 42, was charged in April 2013 after po-lice determined Edwards was speeding and under the influ-ence of synthetic drugs when he struck 14-year-old Brendan O’Brien with a Chevy Blazer, causing fatal injuries.

Edwards is also ordered to pay $150,000 in restitution to the family and $1,000 fine.

O’Brien was hit at approxi-mately 9 p.m. on a Sunday night as he was walking northbound in the 1100 block of East 19th Street North with a group of friends. Edwards, traveling at approximately 41 mph in a 35 mph zone, hit him with his vehicle as he was out delivering pizzas, ac-cording to court documents.

After O’Brien was hit, he was thrown onto the hood of Edwards’ vehicle and carried for several feet before the Blazer came to a stop. O’Brien was unre-sponsive when police officers arrived on the scene. He was transferred to Skiff Medical Center and then air-lifted to Mercy Medical Center in Des Moines where he died two days later as a result of injuries sustained in the collision.

Edwards consented to field sobriety tests and failed the walk and turn test. He also complied with provid-ing a urine sample, which came back positive for the presence of synthetic cannabinoids, according to court documents. Police also recovered a pipe and more than 2 grams of synthetic cannabinoids, “Psycho” brand

Ernst stumps in Newton on second stop of campaign tour

U.S. Senate candidate Joni Ernst made a stop in downtown Newton Monday night to tell Jasper County voters she’ll look out for the interest of all Iowans if elected.

The event held outside of the Jasper County Republi-can headquarters was the sec-ond stop on her Iowa Knows Best tour, a 99 county checklist which started Sunday and will go on for the remaining 43 days until the day of election, Nov. 4.

“I believe Iowans know what is best for Iowans not politi-cians in Washington D.C.,” Ernst said. “What we’re show-ing is that every Iowan matters, whether you’re a Republican, whether you’re an independent or whether you’re a Democrat.”

Jasper County Republi-

can Party Chairman Marshall Critchfield hosted the event and introduced Ernst. He said he feels that Ernst’s personality will ultimately get her a seat on the Senate floor in Washington.

A crowd of about 75 people attended the event, many of which were certain of their sup-port for Ernst.

“I think she seems like an honest, trustworthy individual who will stand up for what I believe in, the U.S. and Iowa and make good decisions,” said Mary Rethmeier, of Kellogg.

Ernst spoke about her inter-est in Iowans, along with her party alliance.

“One thing we’re demon-strating to our party and others outside of the party is that we are a cohesive unit and we are going to work together to take back this seat in the United States Senate — I believe Io-

wans know what’s best for Iowa not politicians,” Ernst said.

Iowa Senate candidate Crys-tal Buntz, Iowa House can-didate Pat Peyton and Jasper County Supervisor Denny Car-penter were among other candi-dates in attendance.

“I feel a lot of energy, a lot of enthusiasm and my goodness we have a lot of interest in this race. We’ll see who really cares about Iowans,” Ernst said.

Ernst is running against congressman U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley, D-Iowa, for Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, 30-year senate seat in Washington.

“This southwest Iowa farm girl is still tied with that eight-year congressman in the polls,” she said.

Paraoptometrics recognized for excellent patient careThe American Optometric

Association recently recognized Sept. 14-20 as Paraoptometric Recognition Week. Now in its twelfth year, the recognition week is designed to honor paraopto-metrics for their dedication to the patients they serve and to the pro-fession of optometry.

Paraoptometrics are key mem-bers of the eye care delivery team in optometric offices all across the country. Their role is even more critical to providing the best patient care possible in today’s health care environment.

Linda Rodrigues, CPO, Paraoptometric Resource Cen-ter Executive Committee chair,

recognized the important role of staff for a successful practice by stating, “Paraoptometrics are an essential part of the eye-care team. The potential of a well-trained optometric staff is of ut-most importance and the formula to achieve a successful optometric practice. Optometrists who rec-ognize their paraoptometric staff for their dedication, knowledge and professionalism are rewarded with satisfied patients and prac-tice growth.”

Recognition of paraoptom-etry as a profession hinges on the strength of the paraoptometric members and support of optom-etrists and other health care pro-

viders. By paraptometrics seeking education, acquiring new skills and becoming certified, the high standards for the profession chal-lenge other support personnel who work within the profession to do the same.

The Eye Care Center of New-ton celebrated the week recog-nizing their professional staff for their dedication to its patients and profession.

Dr. Chad Klein and Dr. Kristi Rhoads give special acknowledge-ment to Sarah Davidson, Mara Schwenker and Ange Sevenber-gen who recently became certified paraoptometric, joining Jane Al-len and Theresa Shafer as CPOs.

Vernon recognized as one of industry’s 50 Most Powerful People

NEWTON – Chris Vernon, MAS, President and Co-CEO of The Vernon Company, has been recognized among the Counselor’s Power 50, the annual ranking of the most powerful execu-tives in the advertising specialty mar-ket. Vernon ranks 43rd on the Power 50, marking the ninth consecutive year he has made this prestigious list. Ver-non is the only Iowan ever to be rec-ognized in the ASI Power 50 rankings.

The ranking is determined by a pan-el of editorial experts at ASI’s Counselor magazine, “the voice of the industry,” and is based on factors such as nomi-

nees’ achievements, industry leadership and health/growth of their companies.

“I feel privileged to be recognized with many of my successful peers,” Vernon said. “I am extremely lucky to work with hundreds of dedicated team members helping to make Vernon a very special and successful place to work. I’m proud of our collaborative management processes and our efforts to empower people to reach above and beyond in creating and executing win-ning campaigns for our valued AE’s and clients. And though it’s my name on the list, I am really representing every-one at Vernon. It’s definitely a full team effort.”

Local OpinionA Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2014

The flu bug has hit my house and it seems to not want to leave without a fight. My oldest woke up Thursday with a stuffy nose but a good attitude so she headed off to school. I hoped it was just some allergies perking up, but I was not so lucky.

Friday the whole family was clogged up. My youngest was wip-ing her nose all over the place, I had a pack of tissues with me at all times and my hus-band picked up the strongest medication he could buy over the counter. Thankfully, at the age of 3, my oldest knows how to blow her nose, al-though I often have to remind her to close her mouth in order for it to do any good.

With only a few home games to attend each fall, we were planning on heading to the high school to watch my nephew, who is a junior at PCM, play against Da-vis County. My youngest still only had a runny nose, so dressed in her new Mus-tang shirt she headed to the game with my parents. My oldest, on the other hand, also had a runny nose but added a fever and scratchy throat into the mix. Much to her disappointment, she didn’t get to go to the game and had to stay home with her dad. Many tears were shed and hurt feel-ings were shared that her sister got to go and she didn’t.

Friday night was rough for my oldest. Her fever was not subsiding and she had a hard time falling asleep. About halfway through the night, I went to check on her and found she was still burning up. Like most kids, liquid medicine is unaccept-able but luckily there are now chewables available in tasty candy flavors. After tak-ing the pill, I hoped she would get some good sleep and hopefully feel better in the morning.

A restful night was not in the cards, though, and she woke me up to a nice surprise in her bed not long after. After cleaning up the mess and changing into new pajamas, she was cuddled up again to hopefully get a little more sleep before morning.

Saturday morning came and my oldest woke up drenched in sweat and still feel-ing a little rough. We had a funny mo-ment when she asked to go to school and wouldn’t take no for an answer. My mom ended up driving her to the school to show her that nobody was there and wouldn’t be until it was time on Monday. I was secret-ly hoping that she would be well enough to go on Monday because the tantrum if she would have had to stay home would have been one for the records.

We took it pretty easy most of the day, just playing inside and of course, watching the Iowa game. Both of the girls ate pretty well and my youngest took a good, long nap. After a trip to Des Moines, they hun-kered down for the night, watching their choice of movie.

Thankfully, when the girls woke up Sunday they were both feeling better. The runny noses will stick around for a while, probably until about April. I know that more than just notes from school will be coming home with our student and we should stock up on tissues and Tylenol.

The First Amendment

I join my fellow members of the National Association of Secretar-ies of State in bringing awareness to National Voter Regis-tration Day on Tuesday. In doing so, I encourage all eligible Iowans to participate in our elections by register-ing to vote.

We are blessed to live in a nation which allows every voice to be heard. Through the process of voting, we choose our elected leaders to represent our voices and speak on our behalf as they govern and craft policies that affect our lives.

Voting is an important civic duty, and here in Iowa we don’t take our voting duty lightly. Iowa’s brand of retail politics allows us all to vet candidates well and cast in-formed votes regarding the issues and candidates before us. Iowans

are consistently within the top 10 states for voter turnout and in the 2012 general election more than 81 percent of active registered voters cast a ballot, which is well above the national average.

On this year’s general election ballot Iowans will vote for federal officials like our representative in the U.S. House and one of our two U.S. senators. Iowans will also be voting for our governor and other state-wide elected officials, as well as whether to retain judges.

In Iowa it is easy to register to vote and cast a ballot. The Iowa Secretary of State’s office even provides a free app called Iowa SOS that is available for both An-droid and Apple devices to keep voting information at Iowans fin-gertips.

From the Iowa SOS app, Io-wans can do the following:

· Check voter registration in-formation

· Fill out the State of Iowa Of-ficial Voter Registration Form

· Find the correct polling place· Request an absentee ballot

· Track an absentee ballot· Set email or calendar remind-

ers for upcoming elections· Report voter fraud· Contact local County Audi-

tors· Contact the Iowa Secretary of

State’s officeIowans can go to [ http://www.

sos.iowa.gov ]www.sos.iowa.gov and download the [ http://sos.iowa.gov/elections/pdf/voteapp.pdf ]State of Iowa Official Voter Registration Form and return it to their [ http://sos.iowa.gov/elec-tions/auditors/auditorslist.html ]county auditor’s office. Iowans can also register to vote on Election Day using [ http://sos.iowa.gov/elections/voterinformation/edr.html ]Election Day registration procedures.

We have made voter registra-tion easy here in Iowa. It’s im-portant to ensure that your voice is heard and not take this respon-sibility lightly. I encourage all eli-gible Iowans to get registered to vote today and cast a ballot in the general election on Nov. 4.

To the editor,

Congress has done it again. They took a five week recess in August to campaign and went back to D.C. Sept. 8, now another recess days later to campaign.

What is wrong with Congress? The ISIS threat is on the table, our president needs backing on this explosive situation, there are Congressional Bills re-quiring attention, where is Congress? On vacation to campaign.

Is Congress thinking about the threat of another war? Are they thinking about the thousands of our veterans who need help? Is the VA scandal settled? No to these issues and many others.

If we have another war and troops are once again boots on ground, more of our men and women in

uniform will die, more will come home broken. Bills that need attention to help our veterans are being sat on, for example an important House Bill HR-543 the Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Agent Orange Act is stalled in committee. What sound advice is Congress giving the president of the ter-rorist group ISIS?

All Congress is doing is thinking of themselves for the November election. What about our veter-ans, are they not worth concern and the American people’s concerns, do we all not have a say so? It is shameful!

Stand up America and be counted, voice your opinion. Let Congress know what you think is best.

John J. Bury Media, Pa.

Shame on congress

council. Council member Steve Mullan suggested changing the phrase “shining star” to “rising star” to better relate to Newton being on the rise. The statement now reads: Newton is a progressive, family friendly community, a rising star of Central Iowa, and a place to call home.

To prepare for the meeting, council members and directors filled our a questionnaire to de-fine action items for the group to discuss. Through those questions, eight categories were narrowed down including: economic devel-opment, public safety, community engagement, organization effective-

ness, quality of life, financial stabil-ity, streets and infrastructure and technology.

From there, a list of important action items were placed in each category and as small groups, the council members and directors worked to prioritize the items from most to least important. The results will be figured and released at a later date.

The same is true of the “big, hairy, audacious goals” the group had previous made. The term “big, hairy, audacious goal” came from the book “Built to Last” by Jim Collins and is defined as clear and compelling, serves as a unifying fo-cal point of effort, and acts as a clear catalyst for team spirit. It has a clear finish line, so the organization can know when it has achieved the goal.

A few goals the group set were a major westward expansion to exit 159, a State Fair family travel stop and to create a Maytag museum and restaurant in the old Maytag administration building. The goals were once again discussed and pri-oritized at the meeting.

To conclude, the group discussed sustainable funding for infrastruc-ture in Newton. As previously presented at a regular city council meeting, options to obtain funding and the pros and cons of each were up for discussion. Results of the meeting will be released for public viewing after all data is compiled and organized.

“I know it was a tough time for everyone, but I can tell you the proof is right there in that we only had to go into our savings account $500,000. I know that sounds dramatic, but it’s a lot better than where we were,” Cal-laghan said.

One of the biggest con-cerns about the potential deficit was lowering the dis-trict’s spending authority, which Callaghan estimated is currently in the $6 million plus range. He said had the district not been proactive in averting the deficit, more funds would’ve been taken out of the general fund and the district’s spending au-thority would’ve dropped to

around $4 million.The treasurer’s report also

serves as the district’s certi-fied annual report, which had to be delivered to the Iowa Department of Education by Sept. 15.

No vote was held since the matter was just a discussion item, but another financial matter was approved by the board.

The board agreed to apply

for supplemental aid and al-lowable growth from the state and to be able to levy proper-ty taxes to recoup money that is spent on special education in the district.

By approving this mea-sure at this juncture in time, the board is not saying that it will raise the property tax levy, however, this gives it the option to raise it next April when district’s are preparing

budgets for the ‘16 fiscal year.The district is seeking

to recover $673,069.16 for its special education deficit. In total, the district spent $6,474,783.44 on special ed-ucation and had $5.8 million in revenues.

Iowa college pairs US, international studentsIOWA CITY (AP) — In

an effort to bridge the gap be-tween U.S.-born and interna-tional students on campus, the University of Iowa’s business school has started a program that pairs students with bud-dies for one semester.

International students at the university’s Tippie College of Business represented nearly a quarter of last year’s freshmen class, the Iowa City Press-Cit-izen reported. The program, called International Buddies at Tippie, started last spring and groups business and pre-busi-ness undergraduates with the goal of helping international students assimilate into cam-pus life.

Of Tippie’s international freshmen undergraduates, about 80 percent were from China, with the next largest group of students from South Korea and Malaysia.

“I think this is a really unique opportunity to expose those students to something totally different and to help them un-derstand that the world is com-plicated and they’re going to have to work with people very different than themselves,” said Jennifer Blair, the assistant di-rector of global community en-gagement for Tippie’s under-graduate programs.

The university also has other programs that attempt to foster friendships between U.S.-born and international students, such as its Global Buddies pro-gram.

A study last year by the col-lege found international stu-dents felt less respected and had a less sense of belonging than U.S.-born students.

“I think some students don’t appreciate the extent to which international students do want to be a part of the culture here,”

Blair said. “They’ve made a huge decision and sacrifice to do part of their education here.”

Blair said the idea to start International Buddies at Tip-pie started last year when she gathered 14 students to lead an advisory board for the business school’s international under-graduate programs. The Tippie program pairs students based on their major, interests, and following the introductory wel-coming session, includes regu-lar meetings and social events throughout the semester.

Yijun Huang, 20, is an ac-counting and finance student who has participated in the program. She plans to graduate in May.

“I think the biggest part of it is that you actually have a bud-dy with you and you can always reach her, by phone or by email, and you have someone you can talk to,” Huang said.

Christie returning to Iowa for

Branstad fundraiserDES MOINES

(AP) — New Jersey Gov. Christie Chris-tie is set to visit Iowa next month to appear at a fundraiser for Gov. Terry Branstad.

The campaign for Branstad, who is run-ning for his sixth non-consecutive term, announced Tuesday that Christie will at-tend Branstad’s annual birthday fundraiser on Oct. 25 in Clive.

Christie is chair-man of the Repub-lican Governors As-sociation, a role that provides him with the opportunity to raise

money and campaign for GOP candidates. He made a July visit to Iowa, sparking specu-lation about his presi-dential aspirations.

During Christie’s last trip to the kickoff voting state, he raised money for Republican candidates. He appears to have survived the lane-closing scandal that rocked his admin-istration, though an investigation contin-ues.

Recent polls have shown Branstad with a substantial lead against his Democratic oppo-nent Jack Hatch.

ALLEY OOP

DEAR ABBY: I had an awful child-hood. After I was finally taken into state custody, I cycled through six different fos-ter homes. Because of it I have struggled with mental health issues for as long as I can remember.

I’m 28 now and have a 4-year-old daughter who is everything to me. The problem is, I’m terrified of strangers. As a child I saw firsthand how evil people can be, and I am almost paralyzed with fear because of my hyper-vigilance. I fight the battle every day.

I am in counseling and I’m trying, but I am afraid I am going to make my daughter fear the world. She’s in Head Start and loves it. Anyone who meets her comments on how happy and outgo-ing she is, but I don’t know how to walk the tightrope between keeping her safe and making her afraid. Any advice would be appreciated. — TERRIFIED OF STRANGERS

DEAR TERRIFIED: Considering your past, I think you’re being a wonderful mother. You are getting professional help and for that I applaud you. You are real-istic about your issues, and your daughter appears to be thriving.

You may need counseling for some time to avoid becoming overprotective and to allow your daughter to develop into a healthy adult. While your fears are the result of your history, they do not have to become a part of hers.

DEAR ABBY: As I was going through my gallery of pictures in my cell-phone, I stumbled upon some naked pic-tures of my ex-boyfriend. What should I do with them? — SAY “CHEESE”

DEAR “CHEESE”: Do the same thing with them that you would hope he did with the naked pictures he has of you.

DEAR ABBY: I grew up in the lap of luxury at a private country club in the East. My father was the golf pro. In my teens I noticed that these wealthy people always introduced one acquaintance to another whenever they met for a chat. I also noticed that my lower-income

friends and family never did.After moving across the country to the

West Coast as an adult, I have noticed that nobody — rich or poor — seems to go out of their way to introduce a new face to others in the room. What would you say accounts for this? — DONNA IN LAS VEGAS

DEAR DONNA: A person can’t do what he or she hasn’t been taught. During the 1960s, many parents stopped teach-ing their children social refinements like the one you describe. The result has been a lack of sensitivity in social interactions, and it is evident in more ways than this one.

DEAR ABBY: A few weeks ago I began using a name other than my given name. It’s one I made up and used during pretend games when I was a child, so it’s personally significant.

A friend recently told me that because it is a common Japanese name, it is cul-turally inappropriate for me to use it be-cause I am not Asian. It is also a name in Hebrew, German and Ancient Egyptian, as I recently learned. Is it wrong for me to use the name? — THE NEW “ME” IN COLORADO

DEAR NEW “ME”: No, it’s not. You can call yourself any name you wish. Many parents have given their child a name from another culture because they liked the sound of it, and you don’t have to make any apologies for changing yours.

RFA names Kelley champion of fuels

DES MOINES — State Rep. Dan Kelley, D-Newton, has been named a 2014 “Champi-on of Renewable Fuels” by the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association.

“With Iowa being a leader in renewable fuel production, it provides quality jobs right here in Jasper County, while making our environment healthier and reducing our dependence on for-eign oil,” said Kelley, who is serving his second term in the Iowa Legislature.

Kelley received the “Champion of Renew-able Fuels” award for his strong record support-ing renewable fuels and leadership for renew-able fuels in the Iowa Legislature.

Currently, Iowa has 12 biodiesel facilities including one in Newton, with the capacity to produce 315 million gallons annually. In addi-tion, Iowa has 42 ethanol refineries capable of producing nearly 3.8 billion gallons annually.

The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association was formed in 2002 to represent the state’s liquid renewable fuels industry through education, promotion, legislation and infrastructure de-velopment.

Harvest could produce high yields, report says

DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agricul-ture Bill Northey commented Monday on the Iowa crop progress and condition report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“Dryer weather last week allowed farmers to get back into the fields to chop silage or make hay. Harvest of seed corn fields is also in full swing,” Northey said. “If the weather remains dry this week wide-spread harvest will likely be-gin. Farmers are anxious to get into the fields for what could be very good yields in much of the state.”

Ninety-two percent of Iowa’s corn crop was in or beyond the dent stage, four days ahead of the previous year but three days behind the five-year average. Corn mature reached 37 percent, 10 days behind normal. 76 percent of the corn acre-age was reported in good to excellent condition.

Leaves were turning color on 79 percent of the soybean crop, five days ahead of the previous year. 74 percent of the soybean acreage was in good to excellent condition.

File PhotoREG held a groundbreaking ceremony in February for its plant expansion in Newton. REG, which produces bio-diesel, like many other renewable fuel producers and state officials are still waiting on the U.S. Environmental Protec-tion Agency to make a final call on the 2014 Renewable Fuel Standard. The RFS regulates the amount of ethanol and biodiesel required for consumer consumption.

No decision from EPA on 2014 RFS

Although most of the year has already passed, the U.S. En-vironmental Protection Agency still hasn’t made a final decision on the 2014 Renewable Fuel Standard.

Last November, the EPA proposed lowering the required consumption of both biodiesel and ethanol in the United States by more than a billion gallons. The proposed changes sparked outrage among renewable fuel producers, supporters, environ-mentalist and Iowa lawmakers.

U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley, (R-Iowa), labeled the proposed changes to the RFS as a war against corn, and U.S. Rep. Steve King, (R-Iowa), called it an at-tack on Iowa’s “Holy Grail.”

The EPA originally stopped accepting public comment on the matter on Jan. 30, but has delayed its decision on the RFS

several times throughout the course of the year. In August, it opened the matter up for public comment again, which wrapped up early last week.

While the EPA has been mum on the matter publicly, U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack hinted that the White House supported in-creasing the use of renewable fuels, specifically ethanol dur-ing a speaking engagement last Tuesday in Washington, D.C.

“I’m very positive about this industry despite the challenges, despite the issues,” Vilsack said. “I want you to know that I’m committed, that the administra-tion is committed. You cannot let one decision ... slow the pro-cess down.”

Iowa is the country’s top pro-ducer of corn and soybeans — two key components in making renewable fuels — and leads the nation in renewable fuel produc-tion. The state has more than 40

ethanol refineries and a dozen biodiesel plants — including the REG plant in Newton.

Earlier this year REG plant, which provides more than 20 local jobs, broke ground on a $13.2 million expansion to its Newton location.

In addition, a number of local gas stations offer ethanol blends and biodiesel including Koun-try Korner in Baxter, and both Love’s Travel Stop and Murphy USA in Newton.

The EPA hasn’t said when it will make its final ruling on the RFS. If the changes the EPA originally drafted are approved, ethanol production require-ments would be curved from 14.4 billion to 13 billion gal-lons, and biodiesel would dip from 2 billion to 1.28 billion gallons.

Practical Farmers of Iowa reaches out to new farmers

AMES — Practical Farm-ers of Iowa’s 2015-2016 Sav-ings Incentive Program ap-plications for beginning or aspiring farmers are now be-ing offered and are due by Oct. 3.

The two-year program pairs beginning and aspir-ing farmers with experienced mentors; offers business plan support and the chance to save money and receive matching funds; and provides access to numerous learning opportu-nities, as well as a network of farming peers.

Up to 25 beginning farm-ers will be admitted to this

fifth round of Savings Incen-tive Program participation. Those admitted will be part of the Class of 2016, and are se-lected by a committee of PFI members using an evaluation system that rewards a notice-able commitment to develop-ing applicants’ independent farming goals. Selections will be made in early November. To date, 74 beginning farm-ers have been or are currently active in the program.

The Savings Incentive Program works by encour-aging enrollees to save up to $100 per month for two years. After 24 months and comple-tion of all program require-ments, participants will earn a dollar-for-dollar match on

money saved up to $2,400, for a possible $4,800 to use to-ward purchasing a farm asset.

As part of the program, participants are paired with a mentor, with whom they must meet in-person at least three times in the first year.

Participants must also: open and manage a sav-ings account with Practical Farmers’ partner bank; cre-ate or fine-tune a business or whole-farm plan; attend at least four PFI events per year. PFI events include online trainings, field days, confer-ences, workshops and more; and conduct quarterly reviews via email, phone or in-person with Practical Farmers staff to check on progress toward

goals and program require-ments.

“What I’ve gained the most from being in the Sav-ings Incentive Program is the vast network system of sup-port,” says Janna Feldman, a current enrollee from Honey Creek who raises sheep and goats. “With so much ad-vice on various topics, I feel connected to a huge web of information. I don’t have to re-invent the wheel because someone else has already been there and done that.”

Karla Hanson, a past par-ticipant who raises sheep near Monona, says the pro-gram forced her to look at her farm from a new perspective. “Without the deadlines and

goals required of SIP par-ticipation, I would not have moved forward with our farming plans as quickly.”

To be eligible, appli-cants must either be farm-ing on their own now and have farmed for five or fewer years, or have some experi-ence working for a farm busi-ness. This includes, but is not limited to: internships, ap-prenticeships, working as an hourly or salaried employee or working on the family farm.

To access an application online, visit www.practi-calfarmers.org, or call the PFI office at (515) 232-5661 to request a copy through the mail.

Iowa City’s two-armed

circus Quarterback controversy

might be the only two words I needed to write up here.

It’s all the buzz after C.J. Bea thard r e p l a c e d an injured Jake Ru-dock in the second half of Io-wa’s win at Pittsburgh on Satur-day.

Rudock, who started in each of the fi rst three games of the season, never played in the sec-ond half against the Panthers and was said to have suffered some sort of lower-body injury.

Enter Beathard, who led the Hawkeyes to enough points and a result that now has ev-eryone anxiously waiting to see who’ll crouch behind center in the next game.

Without knowing the sever-ity of Rudock’s injury, which few outside the program seem to, now might be the time to see what Iowa has in its potentially former backup quarterback.

Iowa opens its Big Ten schedule on the road this week (OK, maybe not ideal) at Pur-due. The Hawkeyes then have next week off before hosting Indiana for Homecoming on Oct. 11.

If Rudock isn’t 100 percent prior to playing the Boilermak-ers — for what it’s worth, he was listed as the starter when the team released its updated two-deeps Monday — it would give the team an opportunity to see what Beathard can do with the offense over the duration of a full game. It’d also give Beathard a clean slate to work with knowing he’s the guy, even if only for one Saturday.

Iowa would then have its bye week to re-evaluate where per-formances and health coincide.

SULLY — Playing at home set well with Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks Mon-day night. They hope it continues into Tuesday’s volleyball match.

The Hawks defeated North Ma-haska, 25-22, 25-18, 25-11, in South Iowa Cedar League action Monday. Lynnville-Sully improved to 3-2 in league action and 8-4 overall. The Hawks host English Valleys Tuesday in SICL play.

“We played some nice volleyball tonight and did a great job adjusting and working together as we dealt with an injury of one of our starters,” said Heather James, Lynnville-Sully head coach.

Shelby Davis delivered 10 kills to lead the net attack for the Hawks. Ly-sandra James had nine kills and Tay-lor Vander Leest had four kills. Riley Rockwell was credited with 18 set as-sists.

Davis came up with 16 digs fol-lowed by James with nine digs and Katy Sevcik with eight digs.

At the service line, Vander Leest led the Hawks, going 17-for-17. Rockwell was 15-for-15 serving, Da-vis went 10-for-10, and Sevcik was 7-for-7.

Lynnville’s volleyball team went 1-2 in action at the North Mahaska tournament Saturday. The Hawks lost 21-10, 21-19 to Sigourney and 21-8, 21-8 to Pella Christian. They bounced back to beat Tri-County, 21-13, 21-19.


There’s a line of thinking that sug-gests a team with two quarterbacks doesn’t have any. Following his team’s win at Pittsburgh, Kirk Ferentz ad-dressed that thought and how it re-lates to Iowa, saying, “Usually, if you have two, you don’t have any. But this is a situation where I think we have two.”

Time will only tell who quarter-backs the Hawkeyes into October and

November. The last time Iowa found itself in a similar squabble was 2008 when Jake Christensen eventually gave way to Ricky Stanzi. Christensen eventually faded into the obscurity that is American football played in Germany while Stanzi went on to compile 26 wins in the Black and Gold, second best in school history.

Twitter and individuals yearning for long-haired quarterbacks have already drawn comparisons between Stanzi and Beathard, although Beath-

ard seems to be much more of a threat in the passing game than Stanzi was in his first season of regular playing time.

Before this year began, Iowa was picked as a sleeper to play in India-napolis for the Big Ten Champion-ship. We’ll never know if Beathard’s the needed spark to reignite those hopes if he’s never given a chance.

Ravens owner disputes ESPN reportOWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) —

Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciot-ti disputed a report suggesting he and other team officials tried to persuade the NFL to be lenient on Ray Rice after the running back was arrested in Febru-ary for knocking out his then-fiancee in an Atlantic City elevator.

Bisciotti, who rarely met with the media before the Rice saga, said he felt it necessary to respond to an ESPN sto-

ry last week that described he, president Dick Cass and general manager Ozzie Newsome pushing Commissioner Roger Goodell for leniency for Rice.

The 54-year-old owner criticized the ESPN report for being biased, say-ing of the anonymous sources quoted in the piece: “It’s clear from the subject matter that it’s Ray’s attorney, it’s Ray’s agent and it’s Ray’s friends. They are building a case for reinstatement.”

Astrograph

The new moon in Libra heralds a time of appre-ciation and adjustment, as much is changing around us. For some, these changes may be frightening, though fear is truly optional. Without it, we are likely to see the beauty and oppor-tunity that exist in this wisp of time. Keep hope alive in your heart.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 23). You’ll cobble together a new belief system out of all you’ve recently learned, and this will include believing anew in things you’ve lost faith in along the way. Your family will grow in October. You’ll take initiative in Novem-ber, and this will endear a loved one to you. February brings an excit-ing move. Capricorn and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 40, 22, 1 and 24.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The unrest you experience will be short lived and quickly worked out. You are a peaceful person, and therefore you will find peace — long, extended

instances of it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When familiarity breeds irritation, that’s normal. Take a little time away from that person you know all too well. Distance and time will lend a more loving per-spective.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Today is like a game of “pin the tail on the donkey.” The spinning has you dizzy, the blindfold keeps you in the dark, but you’re determined to feel your way to the target.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be pitched at all day long. Some want your busi-ness; others, your love. The subtle pitches are the ones most worth buying in to. These also require you to tune in and pay closer attention.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’d like to give your loved one everything he or she desires, although it’s not always possible or prac-tical to do so. Anyway, it’s the spirit of your

answer and your willing-ness to do your best that will matter.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). As a rule, the stupid little things are not worth fighting over, unless those things have to do with safety. In that case, be a stickler for the details that could keep everyone healthy and happy.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Is it an irritation or a hilarious moment? Distance will bring per-spective. Get away for a few hours and then come back to the problem. That’s when the laughter will start.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Today you’ll choose between being loyal to a principle and being loyal to a person. When you choose the person, you will be putting love and compassion above all, and you won’t go wrong with that choice.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Don’t worry about what you may lack, be-cause there are so many things you have that oth-

ers don’t. Your grateful spirit will help you see new ways to help and provide.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). There will be a lot of misinformation and distraction from what really matters. Your ability to discern what’s important and stick with that focus will set you apart from the crowd in a good way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ve been wronged — there is no question about it. Holding on to anger only gives you tense muscles, though. Let go of it and laugh, and you’re back to the lighter side of life.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Persistence and determination will win every time over talent, smarts, family endow-ments and more. So don’t worry about what the others have. If you have persistence and determination, you have what you need.
