One injured in car collision with tractor

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

One person was airlifted from the scene of a crash Monday on Highway T-12 North on the outskirts of Newton.

A 26-year-old Newton woman, Katie Hernandez, struck the back of a tractor with a Chevy Malibu at 1:20 p.m., ac-cording to the Iowa State Patrol. The tractor was driven by Jeremy Beukema, 35, also of Newton.

Both vehicles were southbound on the highway when Hernandez failed to stop at an assured distance and struck the rear of the tractor that had a hauler attached. Hernandez’s vehicle later became com-pletely engulfed in flames.

Hernandez was airlifted by a medical helicopter to Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines. A call to check her

Council working toward beautification of Newton

By Jamee A. Pierson Daily News Staff Writer

The Newton City Council continued on its path to clean up and beautify the city at Monday’s meeting. A unanimous council approved a resolution for Sign Pro to install signage at city parks and facilities as well as decals on city vehicles. Also approved was the purchase of real estate at 1012 E. Eighth St. N. for the D&D program.

In an April meeting, the council ap-proved a contract with Sign Pro to design and install new “Get to Know Newton” sig-nage and vehicle wraps. The funds for this project are coming from the 2013-2014 Ending Fund Balance in the amount of $26,029.

Vehicular homicide trial likely for OctoberBy Abigail Pelzer Daily News Editor

A Newton man charged with vehicular homicide in the death of a local teenager rejected a plea deal Monday and will likely go to trial in October.

Daniel L. Edwards, 42, was charged in April 2013 after police determined Ed-wards 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.

O’Brien was hit at approximately 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. Ed-wards, traveling at ap-proximately 41 mph in a 35 mph zone, hit him with his vehicle as he was out deliver-ing pizzas, according to court documents.

After O’Brien was hit, he was thrown onto the hood of Ed-wards’ vehicle and carried for several feet before the Blazer came to a stop. O’Brien was unresponsive when police officers arrived on the scene.

He was transferred to Skiff Medical Cen-ter and then airlifted 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 providing a urine sample which came back positive for the presence of synthetic cannabinoids, ac-cording to court documents. Police also recovered a pipe and more than 2 grams of synthetic cannabinoids, “Psycho” brand K2 substance, from Edwards’ vehicle.

DART offers quick, convenient trips

to Iowa State FairThe quick and convenient way to the Iowa State

Rather than the headache of fighting traffic and finding parking, fair-goers can park at any of DART’s three Park & Ride locations, then ride in air-conditioned buses directly to the fairgrounds. New this year, DART will sell boarding tickets at booths before people board the bus, rather than on the bus as people board, resulting in faster travel times.

Three Park & Ride locations are available, with free parking:

• State Capitol – Pennsylvania and Grand Av-enues Parking Garage and State Capitol visitor park-ing lots. Picks up at the bell on East 12th Street. Drops off at Gate 10.

It puts a lump in my throat to say this: my oldest daughter is starting preschool this year. She is 3 years old and will go to class two days a week for half of the day. I know that she will absolutely love playing with kids her own age and learning new and exciting things. She is like a sponge, soaking up ev-erything around her and banking it for later use.

After receiving her school supply list in the mail, we set a date to do some school shopping. My mom volunteered to go along to help with both of the girls. Some outings go great with the girls. They listen, stay entertained with what is going on around them and don’t throw fits that make me want to pull my hair out. This was not one of those outings.

It started out well with a nice car ride to get to the mall. Even the first store wasn’t bad. It was tax-free weekend, so the lines were extra long, and the girls’ patience was being put to the test. By the second store, we had one melt-down. My oldest didn’t want to go to the next store and sat down in protest. She wasn’t very loud, but the tears started flowing as I picked her up, and we left the store.

We decided to get lunch next. My husband and I try to take the kids out as much as we can because we don’t want it to be a spectacle every time we go out in public. We have had pretty good luck so far with the girls coloring and getting their food quick enough to not cause any scenes. After picking a restaurant, we went inside and sat down, got the colors out and started to look at the menu. The res-taurant was fairly empty, and the girls had made their way to an empty booth to jump in it like a trampoline. That was not OK with me, but it was definitely not OK with them to have to stop. We had a full out screaming cry from my youngest, enough to exit for a while to calm down. Luckily, the food arrived when we came back in, and the rest of the meal went on without incident.

The next stop was the mall, where the girls have been many times. Almost as soon as we entered, the girls saw an escalator, and the trip was done. We went up and down them once, hoping they would be appeased. They were not and were sure to let us know. Between running away, crying and throwing themselves on the floor (my youngest’s spe-cialty), we had only been to two stores and were exiting the mall.

In order to keep my sanity, we bypassed the rest of the trip for another day. I did score some great deals and walked away with a bunch of new school clothes and shoes for my oldest.

I would say that nine out of 10 times my kids behave well and don’t cause any major problems during our outings. I know not to expect perfection from a 3-year-old and 1-year-old, especially if we are going to a store full of distractions and temptations. There have been many times that I go on my own with the girls and come back unscathed.

It has always been a comfort to me, though, to hear stories from other parents about when their child was misbehaving some way or another. It helps me to realize that my kids are normal and behave just like all of the other kids their age.

There was an old, soft vi-nyl guitar case that sat over in the corner of my father-in-law’s house for as long as anyone could remember. It was covered with a telling amount of dust and cob-webs and the once vibrant brass hinges were now stained with tobacco resi-due.

Two feet away from the guitar case rested my father-i n - l a w , Bruce, in a Hospice hos-pital bed. An 1 8 - m o n t h battle against cancer was simply too much for even this Vietnam veteran to endure.

There were a multitude of pumps pushing oxygen and elec-tronic medical boxes beeping; the sounds were leading up to the crescendo that was to be his final day here on Earth.

It was the Fourth of July, and everybody was weeping.

During a visit shortly after Bruce’s diagnosis last year, my curiosity about the guitar case got the better of me. Without his knowledge, I secretly took the acoustic guitar out of the case. I retreated to the back of his house where nobody could either find or hear me. I squatted down on the sun-faded steps of his wood-en-planked deck and inspected the guitar carefully.

The strings were old and dra-matically out of tune. The rose-wood fingerboard revealed the stringed instrument had only rarely been played in any capac-ity. The spruce and mahogany

were dull and caked in decades of neglect. A strange, ancient musk emanated from the sound hole.

I tried my best to spot tune the acoustic guitar and to my surprise the aged strings didn’t break. So I began playing as warm tears rolled down my cheeks, and gazed off into a nearby field.

I am incredibly bashful about my instrument playing, and very rarely does someone manage to sneak up on me while doing so.

That’s when my wife, Chris-tine, along with Bruce, walked out onto the deck. They pulled up two chairs and sat down with-out saying a word. I figured the situation called for a little music, and so I played, embarrassed and encouraged.

I played nothing in particular, just melodies and softly strummed chords — just anything.

In that moment it didn’t really matter what was played.

We sat there for 10 minutes like that. Not even a word was whispered.

The funny thing is, up until now I practically forgot about that. Yet now in retrospect that memory is incredibly powerful, meaningful and beautiful.

People die.Memories don’t.The hardest part about all

of this is my wife. I don’t like watching her cry without trying to solve the root of the problem. There is nothing I can do except to be there for her, to support her and to be her rock.

But alas, stoicism has never been one of my strong suits. I have done my best. I have tried my hardest.

In fact, because of that con-stant support for her, I have hard-ly had a chance to grieve prop-

erly myself — until this moment when I started writing about the old guitar case over in the corner.

The guitar case. I bet you thought I forgot all about that, but you couldn’t be further from the truth.

Bruce had little in the way of material possessions. When his three daughters went through and cleaned out everything in his house, it took them only two days.

Christine called me that day and asked if there was anything I wanted from her dad’s house. I told her to get me some memento that I could remember her father by for the rest of our lives.

When Christine came home that night she had the guitar with her. She said her dad would have wanted me to have it.

With a little bit of Lysol and lemon oil, along with a new set of strings, Bruce’s guitar was as good as new the next day.

And now, every time I play that guitar, and Christine hears me playing it, we will smile and be reminded of her father with every note, every chord and every song.

It won’t bring him back, but I like to think it’s a great way to keep his memory alive. Be-cause even though people die, the memories never will.

Keeping Me On My Toes

To the editor, Like many Iowans, my grandparents and parents

were farmers, and they taught me to value healthy soil and a healthy habitat for wildlife. Growing up in Iowa, I enjoyed the simple pleasures of wading in creeks, watching wildlife and eating fish from the rivers.

However, no 628 waterways are polluted because of agricultural run-off. Two of the most polluted rivers, the Des Moines and the Raccoon, provide drinking water for more than 500,00 people and ni-trates must be removed to make it safe to drink.

On Aug. 19, the Environmental Protection

Commission (EPC) will vote on new rules to im-prove Iowa’s water quality. With the increase of the number of impaired waterways, strong regulations are essential to make Iowa’s water clean for drinking and for recreational activities. The EPC can clean up Iowa’s water by issuing clean water permits to all polluters, by shutting down polluters after three violations and by creating an online database for in-spections, permits and manure spills.

Iowans across the state are calling on the EPC to do the right thing. If you want to help bring back an Iowa where we can all enjoy clean water, visit www.cleanwaterfight.org to ask the EPC to strengthen the rule.

Festivities will kick off Oct. 3 with the traveling of the keg from Millstream Brewery to the Fest-halle Grounds for the official keg tapping ceremony. The Oktober-fest Parade begins its trek down the main street of Amana at 10 a.m. Oct. 4. This year’s theme, “Magic of Autumn,” will reflect the beauty of fall in the Amana Colonies.

Attendees are invited to test their skills with traditional Ok-toberfest challenges and games at the Market Barn — Eisenmann Competition, Log Sawing, Keg Toss, Hammerschlagen and the Brat Eating Contest. Kinderplaz, an area for kids’ activities, is back

with pony and carriage rides and other hands-on activities. Patrons also may enjoy the Scare Crow Trail that leads through the villag-es in Amana and a bike decorating contest.

Featured bands this year are Barefoot Becky and the Ivanhoe Dutchman, The Bavarian Musik-meisters, Johnny Wagner Band and local German Amana group Die Tiefen Keller Kinder.

Pre-sale tickets are now avail-able by calling the Amana Colo-nies Visitors Center at (800) 579-2294.

Edwards appeared to be dis-tracted and looking down at the time of the accident, according to court documents.

An officer described Ed-wards as lacking emotion when officers arrived on scene, ac-cording to court documents. Another officer noted that he didn’t see any signs of impair-ment, but did want to perform field sobriety tests.

Earlier this year, a district court judge overruled a defense motion to suppress Edwards’ urine sample.

Jasper County Assistant At-

torney Scott Nicholson de-clined to provide details of the plea agreement the state offered Edwards. He is charged with vehicular homicide, operating while intoxicated and posses-sion of a controlled substance.

Nicholson recommended the jury trial be set for Oct. 29, at press time a judge had not set the trial date.

Online court records show that Edwards pleaded guilty in 2009 to a driving while barred habitual offender charge and has several other traffic charges on his record.

Donna Illingworth, 58, agreed to receive $3,000 as a settlement after her counsel opened up discussion for settle-ment in May. Her annual salary at the time of her dismissal was $49,000.

The settlement was ne-gotiated by Illingworth’s attorney Charlotte Sucik, of Van Cleaf & McCor-mack Law Firm, and the county’s legal team of Lindsay Vaught and Jason Craig, of Alhers & Coone. Both firms are based out of Des Moines.

As part of the settle-ment, Illingworth can no longer pursue legal action against Jasper County Treasurer Doug Bishop, the county or any of its employees in regard to her claims, nor can she comment on the matter.

“Although we were looking forward to hav-ing our say in court, I un-derstand why the settle-ment offer was accepted when presented by the plaintiff ’s attorney,” Bish-op said.

Illingworth was origi-nally terminated from her position as second deputy treasurer on July 13, 2012. Illingworth had been em-ployed with the county since 1998 before she was terminated for miscon-duct.

Immediately after her dismissal, Illingworth filed for unemployment and on Aug. 8, 2012 her claim was denied. Upon denial, she filed an ap-peal with the Iowa Em-ployment Appeal Board, which resulted in an ap-peals hearing on Sept. 12, 2012.

Beth A. Scheetz, ad-ministrative law judge, presided over the hearing.

According to docu-ments from her unem-ployment hearing, Illing-worth was keeping petty cash in her drawer after being warned and agree-ing not to several months prior to being terminated. In another incident, she had failed to record a $10 cash payment from a cus-tomer and instead gifted it to another employee, who kept it and later turned it in.

It was also alleged that she was using her work computer to send per-sonal emails, prepare her taxes and print personal documents, all of which led to her dismissal.

Illingworth first made

her claims of discrimi-nation in the midst of her fight for unemploy-ment. While investi-gating her termination, Jasper County Human Resources Director Den-nis Simon said he also checked into those claims and found them to be un-true.

Simon’s answer came during cross examina-tion from another Ahler’s attorney Michael Gal-loway, who represented the county at the Sept. 13 hearing.

Scheetz upheld the original ruling and denied Illingworth’s unemploy-ment claim. In her verdict she wrote:

“The claimant (Illing-worth) clearly disregarded the standards of behavior which an employee has a right to expect of its em-ployees. The claimant’s actions were volitional (her choice). She inten-tionally disregarded the employer’s policies and made her own rules.”

Illingworth disagreed with Scheetz’ decision and filed for another ap-peal with the IEAB on Sept. 18, 2012, which was formally received on Sept. 25.

In her appeal letter she wrote to the IEAB, she said every employee used the Internet at work for personal use, she had no clue there was petty cash being kept in her drawer and she didn’t gift a co-worker the $10 in ques-tion, but that another em-ployee was responsible for those finances. She said she told Simon about her claims of harassment and they went uninvestigated by him.

Illingworth closed out her letter writing:

“... I feel I was not discharge [sic] for mis-conduct but only for acquisitions I made for discrimination, retali-ation and harassment. There was no willful or wanton disregard of my employer’s interest of any wrongful intent. The treasurer should be held to the same standards and accountabilities.”

Galloway responded to Illingworth’s letter on Nov. 15, 2012, with a letter of his own which reiterated the stance the county made during its previous unemployment hearings.

Illingworth was denied benefits again by IEAB in a ruling on Dec. 3, 2012

In response, Illing-worth hired Sucik to

represent her. Sucik ap-pealed to IEAB on Dec. 17, 2012 for yet another appeal hearing on the grounds that Illingworth had no legal representa-tion at the September hearing and the county did.

IEAB made its final ruling on the matter on Dec. 31, 2012, where it again denied Illingworth unemployment.

In its ruling, IEAB wrote:

“New evidence or argument sufficient to cause a reversal of our de-cision was not submitted. Our earlier decision was correct and supported by the record evidence. The request for rehearing is denied.”

When her final appeal was denied, Sucik filed suit against Bishop and Jasper County on Jan. 23, 2013 on Illingworth’s behalf with the Jasper County Clerk of Court.

The three counts in-cluded, sex-based hos-tile work environment, sex-based wrongful ter-mination and illegal re-taliation. In the suit, Il-lingworth sought to be awarded compensatory damages, punitive dam-ages, court costs, attorney fees and all relief as the court finds appropriate under the law.

The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Iowa Central Division filed a stipula-tion of dismissal with prejudice on June 6 after both parties agreed to the settlement.

In the filing, it stated all claims that have been raised or could be raised by Illingworth be dis-missed with prejudice and that both parties pay their own legal fees.

Simon declined com-ment, nothing it was per-sonnel matter.

“We are glad this mat-ter is behind us and will continue to move forward from here. We have a great crew in the trea-surer’s office and we look forward to continuing to served the citizens of Jas-per County in a courteous and cost efficient man-ner,” Bishop said.

Documents and re-cordings used in this arti-cle were acquired by pub-lic information requests by the Newton Daily News.

Liggett left the scene before au-thorities arrived so a search for the suspect began immediately, Sand-holdt said. Following a tip from a concerned citizen, Liggett was ar-rested at 608 S. Commerce St. in Monroe.

Liggett made an initial court ap-pearance Monday and a cash-only bond was set for $160,000. The ac-cident remains under investigation by the Marion County Sheriff ’s Office and the Iowa State Patrol.

Sandholdt said the crash re-quired fans attending the Knox-ville race track to find alternate routes leaving the races Sunday night.

“I know this was an inconve-nience to some people but this allowed first responders and law enforcement officers to do their job without worrying about traffic or other distractions,” Sandholdt said. “Please keep the family in your thoughts and prayers.”

PAJAMA DIARIES

DEAR ABBY: What is the pro-tocol for naming a baby after a de-ceased person? If the name you want to use is a deceased family member’s name, do we ask his next of kin for approval? Do we say nothing? Is it assumed that people who wish to use someone’s name when naming their child should seek permission (wheth-er the person is living or dead)?

Obviously, some people will use the name regardless of being granted a blessing or not, but I’m wondering what is appropriate in this situation. — PREGNANT IN ILLINOIS

DEAR PREGNANT: In the Jew-ish faith, it is traditional for a baby to be named for a deceased parent or grandparent — or at least given a name with the same first initial. However, if the person who died was a child of a close relative, I can see how that could be very painful for the parents who lost their child.

The appropriate thing to do would be to first have a conversation with the surviving family member(s) to be sure it will be considered the honor it is intended to be and not open fresh wounds. If it would cause pain, per-haps the expectant parents should consider making the name of the de-ceased their baby’s middle name in-stead of first name.

DEAR ABBY: During my teens, I was diagnosed with depression and institutionalized following a suicide attempt. Depression is something I live with daily. Unfortunately, my parents and siblings have a “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy when it comes to anything that may stir up emotions. I feel that it’s detrimental to my well-being.

My doctor has suggested cutting my family out of my life. Dealing with them gives me great anxiety. My mother is a master manipulator who denies my suicide attempt ever hap-

pened, and I’m afraid she will tell my extended family members (many of whom I have relationships with) that I have “abandoned the family.”

No one outside my immediate family knows about my depression or suicide attempt, and I feel I may be forced to reveal that very private part of my life in order to defend my actions. I don’t know what to do. — RELUCTANT TO REVEAL

DEAR RELUCTANT TO RE-VEAL: I think you should follow your doctor’s advice and not be in-timidated. You have an illness — depression — that, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Pre-vention, is shared by about 9 percent of our population. It is nothing to be ashamed of.

Because you’re afraid of what your mother will say, explain to those rela-tives you feel close to what you need to do and the reasons for it. I can’t guarantee that some of them won’t take sides, but I’m sure not all of them will. Sadly, not all families are functional. Not all parents are good parents, and some of them are toxic.

P.S. Because your struggle with depression is ongoing, I hope you are still under the care of a psychothera-pist. If you’re not, please consider it.

The Prairie City City Council will address the parking situation on Plainsmen Road dur-ing its Thursday, Feb. 6, meeting after having passed the first reading of an ordinance to allow for a loading and unload-ing zone next to Prairie City Elementary School.

City staff and council-ors are hoping for public input on the process at the meeting, and com-munity members have

been encouraged to at-tend with questions and concerns via the city’s social media.

The ordinance, draft-ed off of what is current-ly in use in Des Moines, would create a specific School Passenger Park-ing Zone, which would allow for parking be-tween 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. on school days only for the purpose of loading or unloading school pas-sengers.

As a high school junior, a wide-eyed, 16-year-old Nancy Hoen went to work for the first time in the Jasper County Re-corder’s Office to work a sum-mer job.

It’s hard to imagine that girl, who grew up to become Jasper County Recorder Nancy Parrott

would be looking back this week upon a career in that very same office that has spanned more than 40 years. She announced publicly Thursday morning this will be her last year leading the office she transformed.

“County government has played such a wonderful part of my life, and I will never forget the many friends that I have made,” she said. “I look

forward to spending more time with family, including my ten grandchildren, and will stay connected to local government through my husband, Dennis.”

Dennis Parrott currently serves as Jasper County Audi-tor. He was re-elected in 2012.

Nancy Parrott has served as

A 28E agreement be-tween the city and the PCM school district has been approved by both entities, and now the de-sign process will move forward on a joint waste-water management proj-ect between the entities.

The hope is that the project, a new filtration and drainage system be-ing put in alongside the athletic complex in Prai-rie City, will help drain

the water out of the area more efficiently than in the past while also fil-tering the water through natural vegetation.

The project is esti-mated to cost around $245,000, which will be paid by the city. The funds will be coming from a State Revolving Fund loan the city had previously taken out for its new wastewater treat-ment plant.

Mud Pies and Sassa-fras Tea Antiques in Prai-rie City has expanded its hours, as well as its of-ferings, and it’s holding a sale this weekend, just in time for last-minute Val-entine’s Day shoppers.

The sisters and co-owners, Becky Horner and Linda Dorr, have been busy over the past several weeks, posting a slew of notices to their Facebook as they’ve picked estate sales, pur-chased collections and

bought a range of mis-cellaneous pieces.

The new acquisi-tions come along with the announcement of their new official hours. While they were previ-ously open about once or twice a month on the weekends, now they are setting down firm and official hours for the second Saturday of each month when they’ll open the show from 10 a.m. through 5 p.m.

“That’s a big change for us. We had a lot of people calling and asking when we were open, and

we wanted to have con-sistency,” owner Horner said. “We’ll probably also open an additional weekend if Prairie City is doing something or it makes sense for a sale.”

They have also begun opening a few items for rental, primarily for wed-dings. In a recent picking session, they acquired a pair of white iron can-delabra and blue-tinted Ball glass jars which will be their initial rental of-ferings.

“The signs are such that if they change in five or ten years you can go back and recondi-tion them and use them, so they will not be ob-solete after a period of time,” said Newton City Administrator Robert Knabel.

As a part of the D&D program, the city has been buying property that has been a source of nuisance or zoning violations over the past several years. Another property, which has been vacant for many years, was approved for purchase. The 100 block of East Eighth Street North has been one of those areas and the city has agreed to purchase the home at 1012 at the price of $23,000.

A resolution that failed was for the ap-proved set of unit prices for financial assistance payments and designat-ing an approved contrac-

tor for prohibited sanity sewer discharge removal work included in the 2014 out-of district res-idential improvements. After the bids had come in, a bid was found to be incorrect and after much discussion the council decided against moving forward and having all new bids submitted for the project.

The first consider-ation of an ordinance to replace the Minimum Housing Code, Title 3, Chapter 21 was ap-proved and will move forward to a second consideration. This will update the Minimum Housing Code, which was adopted in 1978, to the Minimum Rental House Code. It is hoped this will update the code in order to improve the health, safety and well-being of the city resi-dents.

The council also ac-cepted the 2013 As-sistance to Firefighters Grant. This grant, in the amount of $80,000, comes from the Federal

Emergency Manage-ment Agency (FEMA) and is a one-year grant that goes directly to the fire department to en-hance its abilities to re-spond to emergencies.

The Newton Fire Department would use the grant to install a fire suppression and fire alarm system in the fire station. It does require a local 5 percent cash match not to exceed $4,000. With approval, the department can now move forward in seek-ing bids not to exceed $80,000 for the systems.

Although all city groups cannot be com-pared equally, the coun-cil agreed to add one floating holiday to non-union employees to keep the time off equal to those who are union. All groups will now have a total of 11 days of holiday

Ty Rushing/Daily NewsWith the rising value of cropland in Iowa, many new farmers are choosing to lease land versus attempting to buy it wholesale. Steven Johnson, of the ISU Ext. Office, has been giving presentations across central Iowa explain-ing the benefits for tenants and landowners to leasing.

Leasing farmland becoming a more viable option

According to the United States Depart-ment of Agriculture, the average acre of Iowa cropland is valued at $8,750, which is great for current farmers but bad for those interested in becoming farmers.

“Iowa land prices are at the highest levels in history,” said Steve Johnson, farm and ag-riculture business man-agement specialist with ISU Extension and Outreach.

One solution to the rise in land values that can help older farm-ers maintain their land and let younger farmers gain some experience is the rental of farmland. At 6:30 p.m tonight on Newton’s DMACC Campus, Johnson will give a three-hour pre-sentation on farmland leasing.

Johnson has been in-volved in the business side of the agriculture industry for 30 years and he explained why leasing was a viable op-tion for both parties.

“If someone wants to purchase farmland, the lender would likely ask for a down pay-ment of 35 percent to 40 percent,” Johnson said. “While long-term interest rates are very

low, few people have the cash for down pay-ment or want the risk of buying farmland with $3.50/bushel cash corn and $10/bushel cash soybean prices expected over the next four to six months.”

As far as the land-owners go, he said it is a chance that is worth-while.

“Very little risk as long as they can col-lect the annual cash rent, which is roughly 3 percent of the value of the cropland,” Johnson said.

He also doesn’t see land values going down anytime soon.

“Annual cash rent represents about 3 per-cent of the value of land. With the record crop prices in the past five years, both land values and cash rents increased. It now ap-pears that both are headed lower,” Johnson said.

“However, there is a limited amount of farmland for sale. There is more demand for cash rent ground than there is supply. Thus, both farmland values and cash rents remain high for the much re-duced crop prices be-ing witnessed today,” he said.

During his presenta-tion, Johnson will also

cover what the new farm programs, Agri-cultural Risk Coverage (ARC) and Price Loss Coverage (PLC), entail of and how to enroll into them.

Johnson has been making his presentation in different cities across central Iowa, and it’s $20 for individuals and

$30 for couples. Reg-istration for tonight’s meeting in Newton has closed, but for an ad-ditional $5 at the door you may attend.

Majority of corn, beans in excellent condition

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

“Overall the weather continues to be very good for crop development, with 77 percent of corn and 74 percent of soybeans in good to ex-cellent condition. Much of the state could use a shower, especially to help the soybeans as they set and fill pods during August,” Northey said.

The report summary follows here:Lack of precipitation caused a drop in soil

moisture. Topsoil moisture levels rated 3 per-cent very short, 23 percent short, 70 percent adequate, and 4 percent surplus. Subsoil mois-ture levels rated 2 percent very short, 16 per-cent short, 78 percent adequate, and 4 percent surplus.

Ninety-three percent of the corn acreage was at or beyond the silking stage, just over 2 weeks ahead of the previous year and 5 days ahead of the five-year average. Corn in or past the dough stage reached 36 percent, double the normal amount. With a few farmers reporting corn starting to dent, 77 percent of the corn crop was reported in good to excellent condi-tion.

Ninety-one percent of the soybean acreage was blooming or beyond, 14 percentage points ahead of last year and barely ahead of average. Sixty-five percent of the soybean crop was set-ting pods, well ahead of last year’s 32 percent. Soybean condition was unchanged from the previous week with 74 percent of the crop in good to excellent condition. With almost the entire oat acreage having turned color, oat har-vest for grain was 69 percent complete, falling to 4 percentage points behind last year and 12 points behind normal. Seventy-four percent of the remaining oat acreage was reported in good to excellent condition.

The second cutting of alfalfa hay was 85 per-cent complete, equal to the previous year but 3 percentage points behind the five-year average. The third cutting of alfalfa hay advanced to 9 percent complete, 3 days ahead of last year but almost 2 weeks behind the normal pace. Sixty-six percent of all hay was rated in good to excel-lent condition.

Pasture condition deteriorated again to 61 percent good to excellent. Livestock conditions were reported as optimal.

REG reports second quarter financial resultsAMES — Renewable Energy

Group, Inc. announced last week its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30.

Revenues for the quarter were $332.9 million. Compared to the second quarter of 2013, REG sold 11 percent more gallons of biomass-based diesel, while rev-enue decreased by 13 percent and adjusted EBITDA decreased by 86%.

“Our second quarter results demonstrate the resilience of our business in the face of challeng-ing market conditions,” REG President and Chief Executive Officer Daniel J. Oh said. “We believe the industry has worked through the excess inventory from year-end and we have seen demand increase since the first quarter.”

Oh continued, “During sec-ond quarter, REG demonstrated its ability to operate an expand-ing business while also invest-ing for future growth. On top of ramping up gallons sold 63% from first quarter, we executed a complex series of transactions

in order to acquire Syntroleum and Dynamic Fuels. Integration of both are underway and we are excited about the new employees, technology and products added to REG. With these acquisitions, our total assets now exceed $1 billion.”

Second Quarter 2014 Operating HighlightsFor the second quarter, REG

sold 77.2 million gallons of bio-diesel, an increase of 11% com-pared to the second quarter of 2013. REG produced 56.2 mil-lion gallons of biodiesel during the quarter, a 1% decrease when compared to the second quarter of 2013. The balance of the gal-lons sold consisted of 10.1 mil-lion gallons purchased from third parties and resold through the Company’s distribution network and 10.9 million gallons from in-ventory.

REG continues to actively pre-pare for future production growth. The Company’s two most recent biodiesel acquisitions, REG Ma-son City and REG New Boston, are now able to run at nameplate

capacity. All upgrades are com-plete at REG Albert Lea, while previously announced upgrades to increase feedstock flexibility are progressing at REG New-ton and REG Mason City. The Company also prepared for future improvements at its Danville, Il-linois facility with the acquisition and rezoning of adjacent land. Finally, REG maintains a toll manufacturing arrangement that offers additional production ca-pacity flexibility.

As announced in early June, the Company launched REG Synthetic Fuels, LLC with the acquisition of Syntroleum Cor-poration, which included Syntro-leum’s 50% interest in Dynamic Fuels, a 75-million gallon per year nameplate capacity renew-able diesel biorefinery located in Geismar, Louisiana. REG Syn-thetic Fuels acquired the remain-ing 50% of Dynamic Fuels from Tyson Foods a few days after the Syntroleum acquisition. Dynam-ic Fuels, LLC was renamed REG Geismar following the acquisi-tion.

$6.75 million in cost share for conservation

DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Ag-riculture Bill Northey announced that more than $6.75 million is available to help farmers and landowners install conservation practices through the state cost share program. Farmers can contact their local Soil and Water Conser-vation District offices to apply for assistance of up to 50 percent of the cost of the project.

“The cost share program is a partnership be-tween the state and local landowners to help get conservation practices on the land that pre-vent erosion and better protect water quality. Now is the time for farmers to plan ahead and work with the local soil and water conservation district office so they are ready to move ahead with construction of the practices as soon as the crops are out of the field this fall,” Northey said.

Conservation practices eligible for assistance through this program include terraces, water-ways, ponds, buffers, cover crops, and several other conservation practices.

In addition to the statewide cost share, at least five percent of the funds will be used to protect several publicly owned lakes and cost share in these projects is available for up to 75 percent of the cost of the project. Mariposa Lake of Jasper Soil and Water Conservation District is eligible.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The uncertainty that hung over Iowa heading into last year’s fall camp has been replaced by stability and reasonably high expectations.

That doesn’t mean the Hawkeyes can afford to cruise through August.

Iowa has five starters to replace on the back end of its defense, includ-ing three linebackers that reached the NFL. The Hawkeyes also need to sort out playing time at running back, wide receiver and tight end, and the new starters on the offen-sive line need to be ready by the end of the month because the program’s depth isn’t what it used to be.

But the good news for the Hawk-eyes is that they appear to have solid options at every position. The task for the next three weeks will be to settle on starters for the opener on Aug. 30 against Northern Iowa and beyond.

“This is a very, very piv-otal three weeks for our foot-ball team,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said Monday. “It’s a great time for development. And we’ve got a lot of things that we’re curious to learn and curious to see.”

Here are five things to watch as Iowa opened fall practice on Mon-day.

NEW LINEBACKERS: The Iowa coaching staff has long been high on senior Quinton Alston whose playing time had previously been limited because of the presence of standouts Christian Kirksey, An-thony Hitchens and James Morris. Alston is expected to lead a unit fea-turing sophomore Reggie Spearman, junior Travis Perry and as many as four redshirt freshmen in the rota-tion. “Some guys just make you feel good,” Ferentz said of Alston, who struggled earlier in his career. “When you see that light come on or the switch flip a little bit, it’s fun.”

FREE LOMAX: Junior defensive back Jordan Lomax was expected to start at cornerback for Iowa a year ago, but injuries and the emergence of freshman Desmond King scut-tled those plans. The Hawkeyes felt

strongly enough about finding a spot for Lomax that they moved him to free safety though, and he’s expected to start there this season. Lomax, a 5-foot-10 junior, should be able to lean on senior strong safety John Lowdermilk as he navigates his first fall camp in a new position.

SKILL QUESTIONS: The Hawkeyes will likely split most of their carries between senior Mark Weisman and junior Jordan Canzeri this season. Iowa is deep and experi-enced at wide receiver as well, though rising redshirt freshman Derrick Willies could earn a starting spot over the next three weeks after an electrifying spring camp. Senior Ray Hamilton will finally get his chance as Iowa’s top tight end following C.J. Fiedorowicz’s graduation, but Jake Duzey will also get a chance to be a major factor for the Hawkeyes. “Ray Hamilton is a guy, in my opinion, that is probably better than we think maybe he is,” Ferentz said.

LINED UP: Iowa returns three starting offensive linemen, includ-ing All-America candidate Brandon Scherff at left tackle, and senior An-drew Donnal has been installed at right tackle after playing both guard and tackle a year ago. Redshirt fresh-man Sean Walsh will open camp as the starting left guard, and the Hawk-eyes will be counting on Walsh to prove he belongs there because their rotation behind him is filled with un-tested underclassmen. “We’ve got to focus on the smaller details, because that’s what got us in trouble last year, with false starts. We’ve all got to be on the same page,” Scherff said.

EXTRA POINTS: Wide receiv-er Damond Powell suffered a sports hernia injury this summer, but he said Monday that he should be ready for the opener...The competition be-tween Maurice Fleming and Sean Draper for the left cornerback spot might be the closest of any starting job in the program...True freshman Tyler Wiegers will likely start the season as Iowa’s third quarterback after Nic Shimonek left the program to walk on at Texas Tech.

Hawkeyes optimistic at beginning of fall camp

Astrograph

Decorated Irish play-wright George Bernard Shaw remarked: “An American has no sense of privacy. He does not know what it means. There is no such thing in the country.” Prescient words from one who died over 50 years before Facebook was founded. Saturn in Scorpio gets involved in a trine that favors privacy and warns against over-sharing.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 5). You’ve excel-lent instincts that perhaps you do not even fully understand. The connec-tion you make this month will feed your heart. Even though you will some-times wander off purpose in September, you’ll end up right where you intended to be. November brings the lucrative end of a project; build on the success. Aquarius and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 8, 27, 37 and 5.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The way you can help another person is not clear now, but you can love that person and love will find

the way, or perhaps love will be the way. Open your heart and pour your love.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You’re likelier to believe the one searching for the answer than you are to believe the one who proclaims he has found it. Anyway, you want to do your own research and will feel good about only the conclusions you come to on your own.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Your style is chang-ing as you allow yourself to be influenced by what you see in magazines, in store windows and on people in the streets. You’ll be a trendsetter among your friends.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). If only you could unfollow people without unfriending them as you can on a Facebook feed. Alas, you’ll get too much information about certain people or hear news you care little about.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Working on or out of your home

will take up much of the day. Once you’re in the groove, you’ll notice what needs to be moved, cleaned up or reorganized to create an even more efficient experience.

CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan. 19). One small but important success will seem to pay for a hun-dred failures. This is real growth, and it’s all yours; it’s something that no one can take from you.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You may feel as though life is purposely knocking you off your center of gravity, but you are an expert at adjusting. You’ll find a new way to stay up, move freely and even make a dance of this.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When it’s time to decide, you will, and it will be settled. You won’t vacillate or worry. You won’t regret. You’ll have the strength of your con-victions, and that’s that.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Healthy rest is the order of the day. Often

you don’t give yourself permission to rest as much as you really need to, but make the commit-ment. Go to bed early.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s easier to over-deliver if you under-promise. That’s your ticket to impressing the powers that be in your life — suggesting that something small is com-ing up and then delivering something big.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have some strong feelings locked in-side you — and that’s an excellent place for them today. Work it through on your own first, as you’ll regret revealing too much.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The only thing you should try to be better than is the most recent self that you were. Your colleagues and com-petitors don’t matter now. Don’t look sideways; look within.
