By Daily News Staff

Newton Manufacturing Company’s employees have joined Mediacom’s Shoes that Fit campaign initiative to provide school-age chil-dren from Newton elemen-tary schools specific shoes and clothing.

The clothing needs are matched to individual chil-

dren identified by school li-aisons. The donations of new shoes, boots, coats or other clothing are often the only genuinely “new” items avail-able to children whose needs have been confidentially as-sessed.

The nonprofit community outreach program is led by Mediacom, along with New-ton business partners First

Newton National Bank and Noble All American.

There is still time to do-nate to the program, by item or by check, which can be dropped off at either First Newton National Bank or Noble All American loca-tions.

Iowa Speedway’s purchase price: $10 million

By Ty RushingDaily News Staff Writer

Jasper County Recorder Nancy Parrott confirmed the purchase of Iowa Speedway was

complete at the Tuesday, Dec. 3, meeting of the Jasper County Board of Supervisors.

“This is outside of that report, but the track transaction did come through yesterday afternoon. So, that’s a done deal,” Parrott said.

Last week, it was announced Iowa Speedway,

located in Newton, was being sold to NASCAR, which now controls the speedway under its new Iowa Speedway L.L.C. banner. After the meeting, Parrott said $15,999.20 was collected in Iowa Real Estate Transfer Tax, which comes out to about a $10 million purchase price for the speedway.

The supervisors approved her October report. It showed her office collected $20,650.85 for the month.

Jasper County Human Resources Director Dennis Simon received approval from the board for four out of the five hiring requests he submitted. He asked that one of his requests,

for a part-time/temporary snow plow remover for the Secondary Roads Department, be tabled until the county gets back all of the background information on the individual.

Report indicates Japser County on the upswing


According to a report from the Jasper County Economic Development Corporation, Jasper County’s recovery from the post-Maytag downturn is going quite well.

JEDCO Executive Direc-tor Chaz Allen presented his report to the Jasper County Board of Supervisors Tuesday, Dec. 3, at its weekly meeting.

“I wanted to give an update over basically what we have done for the past 18 months over at JEDCO,” Allen be-gan. “For the past couple of months, I created a database using the (Iowa) Department of Management and the (Iowa) Department of Workforce De-velopment numbers to create trends on where we have been and where we are going.”

All indications from the JEDCO report, which the board approved, show the county is in the midst of an upward trend. The report was compiled using IDM and IDWD figures on unemploy-ment, taxable sales, net taxable income and taxable property valuation.

One of the biggest areas of growth for the county was the lowering of the unemployment rate. The county currently has an unemployment rate of 4.7 percent, which Allen said is only one-tenth away from the state average of 4.6 percent.

Iowa currently ranks sixth-

Council supports Newbury Management plansBy Zach Johnson

Daily News Staff Writer

Monday, the Newton City Council gave its support to Newbury Management, which is applying for Low-Income Housing tax credits from the Iowa Financial Authority. The tax credits will aid in plans to extensively renovate the Greenway

complex.“I grew up near there

and I don’t think it has been renovated since I was 5, so its been the same for 25 to 30 years,” Councilor Jeff Price. “I think this will help them out quite a bit to improve that whole neighborhood.”

Newbury requested the resolution as an act of support from the City of Newton for the proposed

renovations and direct financial support in the form of a $45,000 grant. The $45,000 grant would help leverage more than $4 million in renovations, a significant return on the city’s investment.

City Administrator Bob Knabel said the renovations would add property value in the city. It also would improve housing conditions for

citizens, consistent with the city’s goals.

“It does play into our low to moderate income initiative that is apart of the overall housing initiative,” City Adminstrator Bob Knable said “This is one of the opportunities that we have in the future should we move forward with the housing TIF.”

Where the funds would come from would not have

to be decided for another 18 months to two years.

“This would be a perfect use of those kinds of funds that are required to go to low and moderate programs,” Knable said “It is consistent with that part of the housing initiative and the fact that amount of grant with that level of return would be a good use of that program money for this initiative.”

Newly certifi ed as Master Gardeners

Donation to benefi t victims in Haiti

Submitted Photo Scott Griffi th, chair of the stewardship and mission committee, presents a check for $7,360 to Brent Hendricks and Rich Humphrey of the Grinnell Friends Church, for the purchase of a Safe-T Home. The money was donated by the members of the United Presbyterian Church in Newton over the course of the past several months. The Safe-T Home is a modifi ed grain bin built by the Sukup Manufacturing Company to be used as a dwelling for humans. The Grinnell Church has raised money for 13 units to be purchased and shipped to Haiti to help relieve the homeless epidemic caused by earthquakes in 2010. In March of next year they will send a group to Haiti to assemble the structures.

Eight Jasper County residents and one Poweshiek County resi-dent recently completed course-work for becoming Certifi ed Master Gardeners. The program provides selected volunteers train-ing on many aspects of gardening. In exchange for training, Master Gardeners share their time and knowledge in approved projects within their local communities.

Training consists of 40 hours of web-based broadcasts and face-to-face instruction at exten-sion offi ces and on the Iowa State University campus. After train-ing, participants must complete a one-year Master Gardener in-ternship consisting of 40 hours of approved volunteer service proj-ects.

In subsequent years to main-

tain active Master Gardener status an additional 12 hours of volunteer service and six hours of educational updates are required annually.

Jasper County currently has 15 certifi ed, active Master Garden-ers. For more information about signing up for the classes, contact Tammy Welcher at [email protected] or (641) 792-6433.

Iowa regents to fi nalize 2nd tuition freeze plan IOWA CITY (AP)

— Plans to freeze tuition rates for un-dergraduates while cutting them for out-of-state law students are up for approval by the Iowa Board of Re-gents.

The regents meet

Wednesday on a con-ference call.

After months of dis-cussion, they’re expect-ed to formally approve a plan to freeze tuition rates for resident un-dergraduate students at Iowa’s three public universities for the sec-

ond straight year. The freeze is contingent on the schools receiv-ing a 4 percent general funding increase from lawmakers next year. Without it, the regents warn they may have to approve a hike later.

Gov. Terry Brans-

tad has said he’d love to see another freeze if the state budget al-lows.

The regents are also expected to consider a cut in tuition rates for non-residents attend-ing the University of Iowa law school.

Farmers seeing more interest in local food

DES MOINES (AP) — Farmers growing food to sell locally are increasingly fi nding willing customers to buy their products.

The Leopold Center for Sustainable Ag-riculture, which is based at Iowa State Uni-versity, says it tracked sales of 103 farmers who reported more than $10 million in lo-cal food sales in 2012. Most of the food was purchased by grocery stores, restaurants, schools, colleges, hospitals, nursing homes and nonprofi t organizations. The organiza-tions reported they spent just under 9 percent of their total food budget on food grown by local farmers.

The group’s goal is to increase the food purchased by local organizations to 30 percent of their total food budgets. That would boost local food purchasing to more than $21 mil-lion increasing income for the farmers and en-couraging them to hire additional help.

Newtown to release 911 calls from school shooting H A R T F O R D ,

Conn. (AP) — Re-cordings of several 911 calls made from inside Sandy Hook Elemen-tary during last year’s school shooting are being released under court order Wednes-day after a legal fi ght by The Associated Press.

The AP has been asking for an oppor-tunity to review the tapes, which will now be released Wednes-day to the news coop-erative in addition to other media organiza-tions. The AP will re-view the tapes’ content and determine what might meet its stan-dards before releasing material to subscribers.

Prosecutors op-posed their release, arguing among other things that the record-

ings could cause the victims’ families more anguish.

“We all understand why some people have strong feelings about the release of these tapes. This was a horrible crime,” said Kathleen Carroll, AP executive editor and senior vice president. “It’s important to re-member, though, that 911 tapes, like other police documents, are public records. Re-viewing them is a part of normal newsgath-ering in a responsible news organization.”

A total of seven landline calls from inside the school to Newtown police are expected to be released.

“Release of the au-dio recordings will also allow the public to consider and weigh

what improvements, if any, should be made to law enforcement’s response to such in-cidents,” New Brit-ain Superior Court Judge Eliot Prescott said. “Delaying the release of the audio re-cordings, particularly where the legal justi-fi cation to keep them confi dential is lack-ing, only serves to fuel speculation about and undermine confi dence in our law enforcement offi cials.”

As the town pre-pared to release the tapes, the superin-tendent of Newtown schools, John Reed, advised parents to con-sider taking steps to limit media exposure for their families, as he did before the release last week of a prosecu-tor’s report.

UN climatedelegates accept

blame fornatural disasters

Guest Commentary

Delegates at the recent United Na-tions climate conference in Warsaw de-cided that one billion dollars a day, the amount currently being spent across the world on ‘climate finance’, is not enough. Far greater funding is needed to save the world from what UN Sec-retary General Ban Ki-moon calls the “greatest threat facing humanity.” That climate science is highly immature and global warming actually stopped 17 years ago was never mentioned.

Here’s what our representatives just agreed to.

Starting in 2014, the UN’s Green Climate Fund, a plan to divert an ad-ditional $100 billion per year from the treasuries of developed countries to those of developing nations to help them “take action on climate change”, will commence operation.

A timetable was accepted to pave the way towards the establishment of a new international treaty in 2015 that will force developed countries to spend untold billions more to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The fine print in the negotiating text includes an out-clause for developing nations, indicating that CO2 emission targets that their governments agree to will not be enforced. Developed nations do not have this escape clause.

The rules governing how developing countries will be financially rewarded, at our cost, for reducing deforestation were also established.

But this is only the tip of the finan-cial iceberg we will soon face. Last min-ute concessions by our representatives have set us up for a potential liability of trillions of dollars. They agreed to the establishment of a new institution under the UN’s legal framework: the “Warsaw international mechanism for loss and damage associated with cli-mate change impacts”.

In so doing, the door has been opened to requiring that we compen-sate developing countries for the im-pact of extreme weather events that are supposedly our fault. No one knows to what extent the charges against us will be retroactive, but for the first time ever, the costs of extreme weather events all over the world are about to

A Conversation About Care

In the last few years of the 1960s and the first few years of the 1970s, hospitals were experiencing a peri-od of growth in volume, facili-ties and fund-ing. Financial pe r fo rmance was strong as the Medicare and Medic-aid programs grew and health insur-ance benefits were offered to more and more people through their place of work. Increasing insurance coverage led to increasing utilization of health-care services and dramatic increases in health-care costs. By the early 1970s, skyrocketing health-care costs was front page news across the country. In 1973, Congress responded to the pressure to “do something” to reign in costs by passing legislation requiring every

employer with more than 25 em-ployees to include a Health Main-tenance Organization (HMO) as an alternative to traditional insurance coverage.

Interestingly, in that same year Congress also expanded the Medi-care program to cover additional services including outpatient ther-apy, treatment for patients with end-stage kidney failure, and people younger than 65 with permanent disabilities. As a way to offset the costs of these additional programs, Medicare began to decrease their payments to hospitals by moving to a “lower of cost or charges” sys-tem and eliminating some elements from the equation of calculating cost. The impact on Skiff Memori-al Hospital was significant. Prior to 1973, if a hospital had an extended care facility, Medicare would cover any excess financial loss associated with these patients. This allowance ended in 1973, leaving Skiff with no choice but to reduce the number of extended care beds to 20, cutting

the size of the program located in the Hunter Wing in half.

The 1970s were a difficult time for America, with unrest regarding the end of the Vietnam War, uncer-tainty associated with the impeach-ment of a president, and a middle-eastern oil embargo to cap it off. But the 1970s were also a time of innovation. In the 1960s and years prior, it was common for patients to be admitted to the hospital for sim-ple procedures, like cataract surgery, and to be kept immobile in their beds for such extended periods of time that they would develop pneu-monia due to lack of activity. It was rare for patients to be told their di-agnosis, let alone be informed about medication or treatment options. The lessons learned in the 1960s, along with the evidence learned from clinical studies, began to be put in practice in the 1970s and processes of care were influenced in

The history of Skiff (Part V)

I think everyone’s first car should be absolutely terrible. Just a real hunk-of-junk on wheels, a rolling disaster, I mean the epitome of the term “bucket.” I’m talking rusted out ’70s Ford Pinto bad here.

Now, before you condemn me, hear me out as to why I think this.

As I drove back from my w o n d e r f u l Thanksgiving visit home, it made me appreciate my current car even more. You see, my last car, which was stolen, by the way, was an abso-lute clunker. But I still loved it.

“Big Purp,” was a 1999 Purple Plymouth Breeze. It had an oil leak, mismatched hubcaps — with one missing on the front driver’s side

wheel — bungee cords keeping the front bumper attached, a duct-taped driver side mirror, a Superglued-on rearview mirror, a cassette deck, a permanently reclined driver’s seat, scrapes and scratches all around, a crack in the engine block, no heat

or AC, and I couldn’t drive it more than 40 miles outside the city limits.

lowest in unemployment rate nationally, according to U.S. Department of Labor.

The report indicates that 170 more Jasper County citi-zens are working now versus August of this year, when the county’s unemployment rate sat at 5.8 percent. Allen said Jasper County’s unemployment at the time was among the worst in the state.

“We are making gains from being the highest unemployed to about average right now, so those are positive signs for Jasper County,” Allen told the board.

IDWD fi gures indicate there are still about 950 county residents who are still unem-ployed, which is a signifi cant drop from the last year’s peak fi gure of 1,530.

The number of unemployed in the county sat at 1,280 in January.

JEDCO’s report cites the increases in diversifi ed business interests within the county for helping to lower that fi gure. Some examples Allen provid-ed were the Janco expansion in Sully, the progress of the Main Street Project in Col-fax and Pace Manufacturing purchasing additional space in the JEDCO Business Park in Newton.

Additionally, he pointed out JEDCO’s partnership with Prairie City Economic Devel-opment to purchase 12 acres for future development in Prai-rie City, Monroe gaining a fu-ture Family Dollar retail store and the City of Baxter and the Baxter Economic Develop-ment Corporation partnering to build a new fi ve- to six-stall retail facility in Baxter.

“Industrial (value) is the big-gest improvement. In 2007, we went from $53 million dollars as a county, down to $29 mil-lion dollars (2008) and that’s

basically because of what hap-pened to Maytag,” Allen said. “Now, we are back up to $51 million dollars and a lot of that is attributed to what’s hap-pened in Newton, but every little thing in the county helps bring that number up.”

St. Nick’s Christmas Club seeks more ‘adopting’ support

By Daily News Staff

The St. Nick’s Christ-mas Club is seeking the community’s support in “adopting” a needy Jasper County family by pro-viding toys and clothing to the children in family this Christmas season.

Local support has been strong this year, organizers say, but doz-ens of families remain

to be “adopted” with just over two weeks remain-ing until the distribution date.

“Through the Jasper County community’s support, we’re getting there,” said St. Nick’s Christmas Club Presi-dent Pete Hussmann. “But we have 62 families yet to be adopted.”

Once again this year, the St. Nick’s Christmas Club is working to pro-vide toys, clothes and food to more than 600 children from through-out the county in more

than 200 families.Those interested in

“adopting” may do so by selecting a needy family from the “adoption” book that is located at the front desk of the offi ces of the Newton Daily News.

When a family is “ad-opted,” the individual or group purchases a shirt, pants, socks, underwear and a toy for each child in the family. The Christ-mas Club purchases food boxes for each family.

Information is provid-ed in the “adoption” pa-perwork provided to the

“adopter” that includes the age, sex and clothing size of each child in the family. A special “wish list” toy list for each child is also provided. Infor-mation on where the purchased gifts are to be delivered is also included in the paperwork. Items can begin to be delivered to Christmas Club’s in-ventory site beginning Saturday and running all next week.

Though the task of providing toys, cloth-ing and food to more than 600 needy children

in Jasper County might appear overwhelm-ing, members of the St. Nick’s Christmas Club hold faith that each year’s effort will be met with success.

“Sure, we pull our hair out every year at this time,” Hussmann said, “but somehow it has al-ways worked out. We keep the faith and re-member our motto that, ‘Yes Jasper County, there is a Santa Claus.’ It’s all of us working and pull-ing together that has al-lowed us to repeat this

minor miracle for the past 25 years.”

Monetary donations may be sent to P.O. Box 162, Newton, IA 50208. Tax deductible dona-tions may be made out to the Jasper Community Foundation in care of the St. Nick’s Christmas Club.

For more information, call the St. Nick’s Christ-mas Club “Ho-Ho-Ho-tline” at (641) 840-2387 or (641) 840-2387 and leave a message.

The Newton Paceset-ters will be competing at the Iowa State Dance/Drill Team Competition on Friday at Wells Fargo Arena and Hy-Vee Hall in Des Moines.

The ISDTA Dance Championships involve more than 5,000 partici-pants representing more than 275 high school dance teams and color guards. Teams are judged by an expert panel of judg-es from across the United States.

The judges’ scores are

based on appearance, cho-reography, execution, tech-nique and general effect/showmanship. Teams will be awarded Division I, II, and III ratings along with trophy placements.

Teams are also recog-nized for academics, com-munity service and sports-manship.

The Pacesetters will be competing against 12 teams in each of their cat-egories: Class XII Pom (1:37 p.m.), Class V Jazz (3:49 p.m.) and Class III Kick (7:41 p.m.). Last year, the Pacesetters re-ceived Division I ratings

in each of these categories. The Pacesetters’ goal

for this year is to receive a Division I rating in all three categories as well as place in the top fi ve teams overall. The team believes these goals are attainable due to many hours of prac-tice, hard work, and most importantly teamwork.

The Pacesetters are coached by Paige Mer-edith.

The competition will run from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. Doors open for specta-tors at 7 a.m. All seats are general admission. Tickets cost is $10.

Heavy snowfall in north Nebraska, northwest Iowa

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A wintry storm that heaped snow on the Rock-ies has pushed east into northern Nebraska and northwest Iowa.

The National Weather Service said Wednesday that 10.5 inches of snow has been recorded over 18 hours in Valentine, which

sits near the South Dakota state line in northwest Ne-braska. To the east in Boyd County, 5.4 inches was re-corded in Butte.

The National Weather Service says the snow is moving slowly out of the area, but the cold remains. Wind chills of minus 20 were experienced near

Rushville and Gordon in the Nebraska Panhandle.

NWS meteorologist Todd Heitkamp says 4 to 6 inches of snow has fallen in northwest Iowa. Further south in Iowa, freezing drizzle forced de-layed starts for schools in Treynor, Woodbine and Underwood.

Trucker gets life sentences DES MOINES,

(AP) — A truck driver has been given two life sen-tences for killing two men last year in Des Moines.

The Des Moines Register 40-year-old Ron-

ald Hawkinson was sentenced on Tuesday in Polk County District Court. He’d been convicted in Octo-ber for the murders of 30-year-old Serif Hidic and 49-year-old Robert Smoot.

The men’s bodies were found in May 2012 on the lot of a trucking company owned by Hidic. Hidic had sued Hawkinson over loan money that Hawkinson alleg-edly never repaid.

PAJAMA DIARIES

ALLEY OOP

DEAR ABBY: I have been with my fiance since 2006. We expected to be mar-ried in 2008, but my grandmother died a month before my wedding, and then he was arrested because of charges stemming from a sexual relationship he’d had with a 17-year-old girl he had been counseling.

Since then, we have had a daughter, but through it all there has been cheating, drugs, jail, no job, and constant excuses about why our sex life no longer exists. We have also had physical altercations, which he was arrested for.

I am no longer happy with this rela-tionship. The only reason I stay is because of our children. I’m only 33 and don’t want to live my life in misery anymore, but I will sacrifice my happiness for my children. I am confused and don’t know what to do. I’m just going through the motions in life. I work full time, coach my son’s soccer team and am living with MS.

He does help somewhat, but it would be better if he would get a job. My mother watches my kids while I am working and after they get out of school. He claims be-cause he doesn’t have a driver’s license he can’t get a job. Really? How many people in this world don’t drive and still have a job? Please give me some advice. I have reached my breaking point. — DOING THE BEST I CAN

DEAR DOING THE BEST YOU CAN: You say you are willing to sacrifice your happiness with this loser for your children. Why? You are not married to him, and he is emotionally neglectful, physically abusive and contributes noth-ing financially. Admit to yourself that the “romance” has been a mistake, and as soon as it’s safe, get away from him. If he ever finds a job, the state will help you collect child support, but if he doesn’t, you’ll have one less mouth to feed.

DEAR ABBY: My mom insists on including my ex-husband and his wife at our family gatherings. I have told her repeatedly that it makes me very uncom-fortable, but she even included them in the gift exchange last Christmas. What should I do? Not go?

My sister has already laid a guilt trip on me. Must I go and have Christmas

with my ex like we’re one big happy fam-ily? (If we had been happy, we would not have gotten divorced.) What are your thoughts on this? — LIVING IN DYS-FUNCTION JUNCTION

DEAR LIVING: If you and your ex were married for a long time, I can see why your mother might consider him still part of the family and want to include him. However, out of consideration for your feelings, it should be on a limited basis — not every holiday. (Could she be trying to punish you because she blames you for the divorce?)

Because it would make you uncom-fortable and your mother knows it, make plans to do something you WOULD en-joy — perhaps a trip out of town to be with friends or to a different climate. And please, don’t feel guilty if you do — re-gardless of what your sister says.

DEAR ABBY: What do you say to your only son who can’t even call to tell you he is getting married? He posted it on Facebook, and I was notified via a text from my sister.

Our relationship isn’t the issue. He just doesn’t seem to be able to use his phone for TALKING. Your thoughts? — OUTSIDE THE LOOP IN OR-EGON

DEAR OUTSIDE THE LOOP: Because your son seems oblivious to the fact that news of this kind should be con-veyed to the immediate family personally rather than in a “bulletin,” EXPLAIN to him how it made you feel to receive the news the way you did. He owes you an apology.

be added to our bill.This happened because devel-

oped countries did not challenge the scientifically-flawed notion that an-thropogenic climate change is known to be responsible for causing extreme weather events. Consequently, Ban Ki-moon faced no opposition from dele-gates when he unjustifiably blamed the recent typhoon in the Philippines on man-made global warming.

Rather than accepting such mis-takes, here are the sorts of things our representatives to UN climate confer-ences must bring up.

Extreme weather has always been an integral part of the Earth’s climate system. It is not within human control and there has been no worldwide in-crease in such phenomena.

The UN’s own science body, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), stated in their March 28, 2012 Special Report on Extremes: “There is medium evidence and high agreement that long-term trends in normalized losses have not been at-tributed to natural or anthropogenic climate change.” In their September 2013 assessment report, the IPCC had only “low confidence” that damaging increases will occur in tropical cyclones (typhoons and hurricanes) due to glob-al warming.

The Nongovernmental Internation-al Panel on Climate Change agreed, asserting in their most recent report (September 2013): “In no case has a convincing relationship been estab-lished between warming over the past 100 years and increases in any of these extreme events.”

UN delegates also must ask critical questions of their leaders. For instance, extreme weather events occurred with about the same frequency during the 1945 to 1977 global cooling period as they do today, yet no climate scientist pointed to human activity as being re-sponsible in the earlier period. What is different now?

Why has the Secretary General not answered the 134 skeptical climate ex-perts who told him in their November 24, 2012 open letter: “current scientific knowledge does not substantiate your assertions…Global warming that has not occurred cannot have caused the extreme weather of the past few years.”

To maintain political pressure for the new climate accord, there will be additional UN negotiations this com-ing spring, summer, and autumn, the latter hosted by the Secretary Gen-eral himself. Our negotiators must introduce the findings of real science at these meetings. Otherwise, we will soon be responsible for trillions of dol-lars in compensation for natural phe-nomena that impact rich and poor na-tions alike.

The right response is to help vulner-able people adapt to extreme weather events, to the degree we can afford. The idea that we cause them and can prevent them from occurring is science fiction.

very positive ways.Advancements in medical tech-

nology continued forward and in-cluded the development of MRI and CT scanning systems. Vaccines for most major diseases had been in place for many years and the last fatal case of smallpox was recorded in 1976. Immunosuppressive drugs allowed organ transplants to be-come a reality for ever more people, and the first antiviral drugs were created.

Skiff kept pace with the chang-ing technology by purchasing a blood gas analyzer for the labora-tory in 1971, opening a new wing of the hospital dedicated to radiol-ogy and laboratory functions as well as a new emergency room in 1973, installing an automated pacemaker checking system in 1975, and pur-chasing a laparoscope for the oper-ating room in 1976.

In that same year, an east addi-tion was constructed on the hospi-tal campus and included a four-bed coronary care unit.

The facility additions and tech-nology acquisitions in the 1970s were funded by a combination of federal Hill-Burton funds and hospital resources, as well as a gift of 16,000 shares of Maytag com-mon stock from the Maytag Fam-ily Foundation. Though some past renovation projects had also been funded in small ways by city tax lev-ies, this support had ended by the mid 1970s.

In 1979, the hospital’s capacity had grown to 124 beds and an an-

nual budget of $3.1M. Who would have thought 60 years earlier that a simple nine-room hospital with a $350 monthly budget would be-come this large and complex?

Unfortunately, the end of the 1970s brought with it an end to sev-eral years of relative tranquility in health-care reimbursement. Fears were growing in the health-care community nationally that Medi-care was considering significant changes to their reimbursement programs to slow down the rate of growth in hospital spending. These fears were founded on other changes in the mid-1970s, including Medi-care’s ruling to cap the rate of phy-sician payment growth in 1975 and a decision by Medicaid to cap the length of a paid hospital stay at sev-en days in 1976. By 1977, the Skiff Board of Trustees was so concerned about these changes, and additional ones being proposed by the federal government, that a letter was sent to Senator Culver expressing their ap-prehension. Specifically, the Board was concerned about changes being proposed for the Medicare program that would cap hospital payments at current cost-based rates. Their con-clusion was that such a move would effectively lock low cost providers like Skiff into permanently low pay-ment rates.

In 1978, the hospital community in Iowa responded to these fears by creating the Iowa Voluntary Cost Containment Committee to iden-tify ways to reduce local health-care costs. In 1981, a front-page article appeared in the Des Moines Tribune regarding the high cost of health care in our state. Because most health-care services were pro-

vided on an inpatient basis, this was the focus of effort in most hospitals, and the focus of insurance com-panies as well, as evidenced by the implementation of a plan by Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Iowa in 1981 to reduce inpatient admissions. As hospital admissions declined, so did the need for inpatient capacity and, in 1982, the capacity at Skiff was voluntarily reduced to 98 beds.

In 1982, the federal government passed the Tax Equity and Fis-cal Responsibility Act (TEFRA). TEFRA placed several limits on the way in which Medicare reimbursed hospitals. The act introduced tar-gets for the average cost of care for each hospital and limited annual in-creases in these targets. No longer would Medicare pay actual costs of care provide; payments to hospi-tals would be capped. Skiff Board of Trustee minutes in December of 1982 noted the current “crisis in reimbursement” and just a few months later, in 1983, the decision was made to permanently close the extended care facility located in the Hunter Wing.

But this was not the end. In 1984, another change would be implemented that would cut the in-patient capacity of Skiff Memorial Hospital in half, would refocus the hospital in a very different direc-tion and even result in changing the name. In July 1984, Ron Ross, the hospital administrator, would pen the following words in a letter: “As you are acutely aware, we are pres-ently faced with the most dramatic and rapid changes ever seen affect-ing the delivery of health services.”

Truer words had never been spo-ken …

wheel axle snapped and I got stuck in the middle of an intersection.

I impressed so many of my new potential classmates that day. I caught two flats going to my old warehouse job, my brakes went out on me several times and I got pulled over more than 30 times in that thing.

That car was the best!Some of you must think, “He’s

gone a bit loopy” by now, but hear me out. Big Purp and I were to-gether from the age of 19 until she was stolen from me a few weeks af-ter I turned 24.

We had a bond. She got me to work and home; she gave me rides to and from two different colleges and allowed me to take girls on out-ings that didn’t consist of hanging

out in my mom’s basement.She was roomy enough that

when it was my turn to drive, my friends had plenty of room to sit comfortably and I could easily fold my 6-foot-3 frame in the backseat to take naps between classes.

Despite the enormous amount of money and work my grandfather and I poured into that scrapyard on wheels and numerous times she failed me, I loved her and she got the job done.

I can appreciate having a newer, more modern vehicle now because my old car was such a piece of “work.”

This is why I think a young per-son’s — or anyone’s, for that mat-ter — first car should be absolutely terrible. Who is going to appreciate the luxury of a new car if all you have known is new cars?

A person’s first car should be able to conjure up memories of moments

that may have been terrible when they happened, but you can laugh about them now. When my friend Donnell’s “Pokemobile I,” an ’89 Buick Century, broke down in the middle of nowhere, we were in ab-solute crisis mode.

These days, we laugh about that moment and mimic each others’ panicked reactions.

Donnell has had several cars since Pokemobile I and he just pur-chased a 2012 Toyota Corolla.

You need these types of moments that are associated with past vehicle mishaps to make you grateful the moment you can afford a better car.

So to whoever has Big Purp now, you better be treating her well. That car still holds a lot of my memories, both good and bad, and helped me get to where I am now.

Here’s to hoping she’s still rolling and giving some kid the same fits she gave me.

How Does Knowing God’s Love Affect Your Relationships With People?

Least of Saints book giveaway Dec. 7

The Least of Saints Ministry, located at 2900 First Ave. E. in Newton, will host a free book giveaway from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Satur-day, Dec. 7.

New and gently used books for children up to 12 years old will be available for free. Local residents also are encouraged to bring books to give away.

Soup supper at Prairie City Church of Brethren

The Prairie City Church of the Brethren is holding a Fall Compassion Challenge by hosting a soup supper from 5 to 7 p.m. Sat-urday, Dec. 14.

All proceeds from the free-will offering soup supper will help raise money toward a $1,000 matching grant to be given to needy families in our communities.

There also will be crafts, baked goods, canned minced meat, etc.

Damage at the church from wind, rain and hail has been repaired, and the sanctuary will be open for viewing.

“I’m OK, You’re OK” is the title of a former best-selling book. “I Stink, You Stink” is the reality behind many soured relationships.

God’s love “affects me because I feel loved, and that makes me love other people,” says Rachel, 9.

Rachel has identifi ed the key to healthy relationships. When we know God loves us in our heads and sense his love in our hearts, we don’t try to put people in the place of God. Don’t make an idol out of any human relationship.

Everyone needs love. Only God gives us perfect, unconditional love all the time. Consider yourself a channel

for letting God’s love fl ow through you, and you might be surprised at what fl ows back.

“The love of God comes through your spirit and makes you want to treat other people as God would want to treat other people,” says Courtney, 10. “The love that comes from God is everlasting, everywhere and is faith-ful.”

“I don’t stay mad as long,” says Sta-cy, 10. “It used to take days. Now, it takes about an hour to cool off. Once, I got so mad at one of my friends that I didn’t talk to her for a week. And she remembers it, too.”

Stacy, your struggle with anger re-minds me of a story, told by Michael Hodgin, of a golfer who stormed off the course after throwing his golf bag

into a lake. His friends thought he had cooled off when they saw him wading into the water. He fi shed out the drip-ping bag, unzipped the side pocket, took out his car keys and fl ung the bag back into the lake.

Abiding in God’s love is the “key” to maintaining your cool under pres-sure, says Jared, 10. “Knowing God’s love helps you because you know that God will fi nd a way to make things end up good. He can turn an impos-sible situation into a good one.”

God’s love can transform laziness into helpfulness, says Nicole, 10.

“Sometimes, I help my mom do dishes or clean the house. I help my dad by taking out the trash.”

That’s love with feet on it, Ni-cole. But the real foot story belongs to Ephraim, 10: “Sometimes when you play soccer, someone knocks you down. If you want to hit him back, that’s not the love of God. If you want to get him or her back, you lose your concentration, and you build up anger.

If you had the love of God, you would be able to concentrate and not build up anger.”

Anger in the form of revenge or bitterness can trip you up in soccer and in life. The Apostle Paul advo-cated forgiving one another “even as Christ forgave you” (Colossians 3:13).

“The love of God is very strong, and he gives that love to you,” says Lindsay, 9. “In everything you do and everything you say, God will show you the right way to do or say it.”

Jordon, 10, shares examples of that right way. “When somebody is be-ing picked on or has no friends, cheer them up. If somebody gets hurt, try to help them and see if they’re OK.”

Think about this: Only God’s love fl owing through you can transform “I Stink, You Stink” relationships into “I’m Loved, You’re Loved.”

Memorize this truth: “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you” ( John 15:12).

PEKIN — Four Lynnville-Sully wrestlers opened the 2013-14 sea-son with two wins at Tuesday’s dou-ble dual meet hosted by Pekin. The Hawks went 1-1 in team action.

Junior Noah Zylstra recorded two pins at 170 pounds for Lynnville-Sul-ly. Zylstra pinned Tyler Copeland of

Pekin in 3 min-utes, 59 seconds. He took just 1:53 to pin Sigour-ney’s Tanner Bos.

Also winning by falls twice in the competition was the Hawks’ 285-pound wres-tler, sophomore Shannon Dun-sbergen. He turned Michael Hadley of Pekin in 3:29 and pinned J.C. Durmont of

Sigourney in 5:43.Lynnville-Sully senior Cade Doll

BOONE — A rally is a funny thing. It can start from a single moment, play or even a timeout. For Newton, that moment was the initiation of a press, some timely shooting and an emerging talent.

Newton and Boone were deadlocked in a tight battle with the Toreadors up 7-6 late in the fi rst quarter, until freshman Connor Gholson knocked down a 3-pointer with time ticking down, and the Cardinals never looked back.

Newton went into a full-court press that forced mul-tiple turnovers and freed up shooters, well shooter. Ghol-son knocked down fi ve threes in the second quarter, and steered the Cards to a 75-45 season-opening victory.

“My guys were just get-ting me open shots, and I hit them,” Gholson said.

The catalyst for the big run was undoubtedly the pressure, which continued to force turnovers, but Gholson’s shooting also provided help to his teammates, forcing the Toreador defense to account for the freshman, pulling the defense to the perimeter and allowing the rest of the Car-dinal players to attack inside.

“We have shooters all over. Teams are going to be wor-ried about Easley and Wood — and they should be — but then, if you worry too much, you’re going to have Sturtz and Glotfelty and Gholson

knocking down threes,” Car-dinal coach Nick Wilkins said.

“Now that the conference teams will be able to have fi lm and see what he did in his fi rst game as a varsity basket-ball player, it’s going to open up inside for us. They’re not going to want to leave him open, and I wouldn’t either if I was them.”

Boone started the game

with back-to-back buckets inside before Jordan Travis banged inside to get a layup and put the Cardinals on the board. Boone continued to attack in the post, getting good position and taking a 7-2 lead with two minutes left in the fi rst quarter. Junior Nick Easley got aggressive on the next time up the fl oor, driving baseline for a layup with some contact. Joe Ban-

fi eld scored on the fastbreak before Gholson hit a three to end the quarter with the Cards leading, 9-7.

Newton brought out its entire second unit to kick off the second quarter, and the fi ve boys proved they can hold their own. Gholson knocked down back-to-back threes to

NEWTON — “We got better.”Brandon Sharp, Newton girls’ head

coach, said that emphatically after Tuesday’s 45-38 loss to visiting Win-terset. The Cardinals are a better team than their 0-4 record shows, according to their head coach.

“Tonight, it came down to free throws and us missing a couple of easy shots at the basket that we should of had. We pride ourselves on our play at the defensive end. We had a couple of key slip-ups defensively and rebound-ing that hurt us,” Sharp said.

The Cardinals battled the Huskies, who came in to the game at 2-0 and averaging 56 points a game. Newton handed Winterset its closest contest of the young 2013-14 season.

Winterset junior point guard Mari-ah Criswell was the only player in the game to reach double fi gures in scor-ing. She ripped the nets for 25 points — one under her season average — to lead the Huskies to victory.

“Mariah is a very talented player. Michaela Jacobson did a nice job de-fending her for us tonight. Mariah had to work for a lot of her points. We made it tough for her at times, but she’s just very good,” Sharp said.

Each team hit 11 2-point fi eld goals

and four 3-point fi eld goals. The mar-gin of victory for the Huskies came at the charity stripe. Newton struggled, hitting 4-of-14 free throw attempts. The Cardinals missed their fi rst seven

attempts from the line in the second half and still were in the game.

Newton’s Michaela Jacobson nailed a 3-pointer with 1:16 to play to make it 40-36. Winterset would seal the win

by hitting 5-of-9 free throws in the fi -nal minute while holding Newton to

COLFAX — Colfax-Mingo’s girls basketball team continued with its slow start on Tuesday with a 67-18 loss at North Polk.

The Tigerhawks strug-gled to stimulate any of-fense in the fi rst couple of quarters, and by the second half, the large defi cit and the running clock both worked against C-M to the point that there was no coming back.

“We struggled tonight in getting into our offense,” C-M coach Michelle Grant said. “We broke the full court man to man pressure fairly consistently, but allowed the press to take us out of our offense once we got to the half court set. Turnovers were the biggest factor and so many of them came in the half court set. Jade Lewis had a great night from the fl oor and the free-throw line to fi nish with seven points and three rebounds.”

The Comets took a 39-9 lead into the half. C-M picked up the scoring in the third with nine points, but most of the second half was played under a running clock. C-M failed to score in the fi nal period.North Polk 15-24-22-6-67Colfax-Mingo 4-5-9-0-18Game LeadersPoints — Jade Lewis 7, Jena Teed 5, McKenzie Cogley 4, Alivia Hal-ey 2Rebounds — Cogley 4, Teed 4, Breawna Schroeder 3, Lewis 3, Jessica Albright 2, Kayla Van Dusseldorp 1Assists — Teed 2, Albright 2, Co-gley, 1Steals — Teed 1, McKinzie Tjaden 1

just a basket. The Huskies sank 11-of-19 charity tries for the game.

Winterset jumped out to a 4-0 lead, but Newton’s Alex Hutchinson found the net from behind the 3-point arc. A putback by Shelby Gray had the Cardinals up 5-4. Back-to-back baskets by Hannah Rhoads and Sarah Kalkhoff pushed Newton’s advantage to three points with 3:34 left in the fi rst quarter.

Jacobson’s three-point play with 1:18 remaining in the fi rst

quarter put Newton up 14-10, which is where it stood going into the second period.

Mariah Criswell took com-mand in the second quarter, scoring 10 of her team’s 13 points in that eight-minute span. She hit back-to-back 3-pointers to give her team an 18-16 lead.

Rhoads and Gray answered for Newton with baskets. The Cardinals led 20-18 with 2:22 on the clock. Mariah Criswell sank two free throws to tie the game.

Mariah Criswell dribbled the basektball out front, run-

ning time off the clock in a 20-20 tie. She drove to the lane, kicked out the ball with a pass and just before the buzzer, Macayla Criswell drilled a trey to put Winterset up 23-20 at halftime.

Newton senior Lizzie Stock answered that with a 3-pointer to open the third-quarter scor-ing. Gray’s follow shot had Newton in front again. It was a back-and-forth contest. Stock connected again from long range for a 28-27 Newton lead at the 4:14 mark.

Trailing by one, the Cardi-nals missed on two shots inside with 2:28 left in the third pe-riod. Mariah Criswell stole the basketball scored, was fouled and hit the free throw for Win-terset’s 32-28 lead.

Kalkhoff got the ball to go in for Newton with 40 seconds on the clock. The Cardinals were down by two, 32-30, going into the fi nal eight minutes of play.

Mairiah Criswell hit her third 3-pointer of the game and had three more points to push Winterset’s lead to 40-32 mid-way through the fourth quarter. Rhoads fi nally broke through for Newton at the free-throw line, hitting the front end of a one-and-one. Jacobsen hit the 3-pointer to close the gap to four points. That was as close as the Cardinals would get.

Gray and Jacobsen topped the Newton scoring list with eight points each. Gray pulled down nine of the team’s 36

rebounds. Jacobsen had six re-bounds. Hutchinson, Rhoads and Jacobsen each handed out three assists. Jenkins had two steals.

Newton shot 39 percent, 15-of-38, from the fi eld. The Cardinals had 20 turnovers.

“We’re excited because our kids have shown they can play. This was the most consistent game so far this season for us,” Sharp said. “The girls worked extremely hard. They did ev-erything we asked of them.”

The Cardinals jump into Little Hawkeye Conference play Friday at Norwalk.

Newton’s junior varsity girls netted a 36-19 win over Win-terset. Macy Leonard hit three 3-pointers on her way to a team-high 14 points for New-ton. Jessica Reynolds added eight points.

Newton’s freshmen got their fi rst action of the season. They played two fi ve-minute quar-ters between the junior var-sity and varsity games Tuesday night. Newton beat Winterset 14-0 led by Ryanne Rausch with four points. Five players had one basket apiece.

open the quarter. Newton ramped up the pressure with a steal at midcourt by Nick Glotfelty, who kicked it to Gholson for another three. After another unsuccessful trip down the fl oor for Boone, Gholson calmly pulled up and nailed is fourth three in less than two minutes.

“The press defi nitely opened things up for us to get outside shots,” Gholson said. “When you’re shooting like that, you’re confi dence gets sky-high, and you just want to keep shooting.”

The Cards picked up an-other steal with a dive on the fl oor by senior Ryan Thomp-son, and Wilkins called a timeout. Newton’s starters reentered the game after the timeout and joined in on the rally. Easley got to the bucket for a score. After a few min-utes went by with limited scoring, Gholson reentered the game and aptly nailed an-other shot from long range.

Boone started to break the

press for layups, but the Car-dinals did not get discour-aged, quickly getting the ball back out to get up the fl oor for more points. Junior Tyler Wood picked off a pass and found Gholson out in transi-tion. The freshman penetrated and hit a short range shot off of a jump-stop. Wood nailed a three right before the buzzer sounded to give Newton a 40-23 edge.

Newton’s press contin-ued to fuel its offense in the second half. Easley, Daquan Allen and Chandler Sturtz all had big buckets to start the half, taking a 59-29 lead for Newton. The bench took over from there, and it never got close going to the fi nish.

“We came out and we at-tacked right away,” Wilkins said. “We got a slow start just because we weren’t mak-ing some shots. I think as the game went on, you kind of saw the type of team we’re going to be this year as far as we have a lot of shooters. You can’t leave anyone open on our team.”

Despite the sizeable mar-

gin of victory, Wilkins found things to pick out that New-ton can still get much better at.

“Our halfcourt defense was actually pretty poor,” Wilkins said. “We gave up a lot of layups, didn’t block

cuts, didn’t help. We have a lot of things to work on in the halfcourt defense.”

The Cards travel to Nor-walk on Friday to try to keep the momentum going.

PCM and Gilbert played a close fi rst quar-ter, with the Mustangs ahead 14-10 at the break. PCM ramped up the defense the next two periods, allowing 10 points in the second and third quarter combined and scoring 35 of its own. By then, the fourth quarter was just a

formality.The Mustangs forced 17 steals on the

night. They also racked up 19 assists and 17 rebounds as a team. PCM shot 24-for-50 from the fi eld and 6-for-15 from long range. The Mustangs went 10-for-18 from the free throw line.

COLFAX — Colfax-Min-go’s boys got off to a rocky start to their season on Tuesday night, losing 72-30 at home to North Polk.

The Comets came out hot, doubling the Tigerhawks’ point total from the fi rst quar-ter — 16-6. North Polk took a 39-16 lead into halftime. Col-fax-Mingo played the Comets to a nearly even third quarter, but the visitors put away C-M with a 22-4 run to end the game.

“This is the fi rst step in the learning process for our inexperi-ence players,” C-M coach John Borts said. “We’ll need to take better care of the ball and cut down on turnovers. We missed a lot of scoring opportunities near the basket. Our players hustled and played hard, but we have a lot of correctable things to work on.”

SAYDEL — Something had to give in both games between Collins-Maxwell/Bax-ter and host Saydel Tuesday night. The girls’ teams were 0-2 on the season going into the contests.

In a game with four ties and four lead changes, Saydel’s girls came out with a 48-36 win over the Raider girls.

CMB’s Abbie Haupert scored a game-high 16 points, plus pulled down eight re-bounds. Haupert blocked four shots, made three steals and handed out four assists in the game. Mikayla Eslinger added 10 points for the Raider girls.

OPENING the 2013-14 season, the

Raider boys came up just short, losing to Saydel 64-60.

“It was pretty competitive throughout the game,” said Scott Brummel, CMB boys’ head coach. “We got down by 10 points with about 1:30 left in the game, but still came back to make a game of it. ”

What the Raider boys weren’t able to do was counter the 32-point per-formance by Saydel senior Alex Gus-tafson.

Junior Seth Balke led the Raider boys with 19 points. Balke hit three of the team’s seven 3-pointer shots. The other four treys were delivered by senior Austin Moorman, who fi nished with 14 points. Bryce Kemp, a junior, scored 11 point and controlled eight rebounds.

Gaining through loss is the theme during these final hours before Mercury enters Sagittarius. Think of those unwanted items and unneces-sary obligations you could let go of. At the end of the day, you won’t even notice they are gone. But if you really want to feel better, you’ll have to let go of something bigger. A loss that is not felt is not a loss.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Dec. 4). You’ll upgrade your lifestyle by first changing the way you think about a prob-lem. If you insist on only one way of proceeding, you will meet an impasse. Flexibility of mind makes many beauti-ful things possible. You’ll open your heart to someone new in January. Compete for a prize in March. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 2, 21, 24 and 38.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To look into another person’s eyes and try very hard to understand and feel for that person is no small act. Your brand of

attention really is rare and beautiful.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Memory serves each person differently. That’s why it’s important to get things in writing, take pictures and document what’s happening in every possible way.

AQUARIUS (Jan.20-Feb. 18). The trend of self-sacrifice continues with today’s proceedings. Nearly all of your efforts are for others, and you have mixed feelings about this. It’s good to be needed, but who is there for you when you need something?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’re ready to put a piece of your personal property up for sale. There’s no need to waste time wondering what it’s worth. It’s worth what some-one will pay for it. Your best bet is an auction environment with a minimum bid.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You love specifically. Take note of the precise qualities that thrill you. If you can later

tell someone in detail what you love about him or her, it will be among the greatest gifts you could give.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Telling the same story over and over is a method of brain training that you can use to your advantage. Tell yourself the story that makes you feel empowered, and tell it often.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You long for them to stop business as usual and concen-trate on making you happy for a change. They won’t get the idea to do this, though, until you take control and make yourself happy.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You’re feeling patient and will have a high tolerance for those difficult people no one else wants to deal with. You do realize that you may be someone’s only friend.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When presented with some-thing new, usually your first instinct is to approach. But every novelty is different. Some cause the opposite

reaction. Pay attention when you feel the urge to withdraw instead, and obey the instinct.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Embrace the way you are: your moods, talents, toler-ances and intolerances. If things don’t work today, it’s not your fault. Take it as a sign that you need a better environmental match.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Things don’t come together automatically or magically, and when they look like they do, it’s because someone put a lot of work into creating that illusion. Knowing this, you’ll give praise accord-ingly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your respect for other people’s time and energy is commendable. Reading social signals is one of your many skills. As you pick up the subtleties of what someone is saying, you’ll help others around you do the same.
