Council rejects East 19th Street parking plan By Bob Eschliman Daily News Editor The first matter of business the Newton City Council took up at Monday night’s meeting was a request to change the park- ing regulations for the 400 to 700 blocks of East 19th Street North. The proposal, which would have re- stricted parking in that area to only the west side of the street, was rejected on a 5-1 vote. Councilor Noreen Otto cast the lone “yes” vote. Immediately following the vote, Mayor Mike Hansen told those in attendance a resolution considering the placement of four-way stops on the street. “I am executing my authority as mayor to say there will be an ordinance to place stop signs at both North Eighth Avenue and North 11th Avenue on the agenda for November 18,” he said. “I have asked [Chief of Police Jeff Hoebelheinrich] to bring information and statistics for the council to review at that time.” For several residents sitting in the gal- lery during the meeting, it was a small step forward for an ongoing fight to have stop signs installed on the street. Dave Hoyt and his wife Judy, who have lived in the area for about 35 years, said they have been asking for something to be done for nearly two years. “We call it the raceway,” Dave Hoyt said in an interview prior to the meeting. “They’re drag racing through there all the time ...

Special to the Daily News

In observance of Veterans Day, the Jasper County His-torical Museum will show a Camp Dodge Gold Star museum video interview with Mas Yoshinaga, veteran of World War II, at 6:30 p.m. Monday.

Yoshinaga was longtime resident of Jasper County, and the interview was

done shortly after he was a participant in the 2010 Jas-per County Honor Flight. He was a high school student of Japanese Ameri-can descent when Pearl Harbor was bombed. Following high school gradu-ation, Yoshinaga served in military in-telligence as a trans-lator during the oc-cupation of Japan.

Free meal Sunday at Holy Trinity

Lutheran ChurchA free community meal is planned

for 5 to 6 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 10, at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church in Newton.

The meal will include turkey, stuff-ing, mashed potato and gravy, veg-etables and pie. All in the community are welcome to attend. The church is located at 1409 S. Eighth Ave. E.

in high school is what started a passion for communication.

Zach went on to study media relations at Iowa Central Com-munity College. He was again the sports editor for the college’s campus paper the Iowa Central Collegian. His favorite sport is football, and the team he has enjoyed watching the most this year is the Denver Broncos.

After Zach moved home and adjusted to the old norms, he found himself wanting to be more involved in the community as he had been in previous years.

He is proud to have helped the Newton Capitol II Theater reopen and worked with own-ers Dawn and Paul Bleeker on painting. He said he introduced the idea of video games on the

big screen, events like a Madden 2013 and Call of Duty Black Ops II tournaments.

“It was a great time. It made me really enjoy being back into town,” he said.

Over the years, Zach has ex-perienced writing in different mediums, but he said he never found himself on a full staff, like at a daily newspaper, but that’s what he wanted to do.

“I’m without a doubt excited about the business beats. That’s kind of been my major passion as of late. Since I know a lot of business owners, I feel that the readership will have a lot more stories on the small businesses of Newton, and they’re going to see a whole lot more coming from business beats.”

You can find Zach almost any-where around town. He’s always out walking, going around to local businesses, going out with

friends, or having dinner. But he enjoys his down time too and staying in. Zach is an avid fan of video games, enjoys cooking, watching movies and says one of his biggest secrets is that he’s a bigger nerd than most people would ever know.

Here are some fun facts to know about Zach Johnson: fa-vorite holiday, Christmas; favor-ite band, anything country; fa-vorite movie, “The Ugly Truth”; favorite book, “50 Shades of Gray” series; favorite color to wear, black; favorite color, blue; favorite sport, football; favorite business, First Avenue Speak-easy; favorite restaurant, Race-way Café; favorite season, sum-mer; favorite newspaper section, sports.

Editor’s Note: The following piece was drafted by faculty and administrators in the Newton Community Schools. The purpose is to clarify issues related to the Common Core State Standards and the school dis-trict’s plan to help kids meet those stan-dards, specifically in the area of reading. The authors were: Tom Bartello, Carol Farv-er, Jolene Comer, Jolene Liebl, Lisa Sharp, Jill Bartello, Nancy VanWyk and Director of Education Jim Gilbert.

Over the last couple of years, con-troversy has erupted as a result of Common Core State Standards and the implementation of these standards within states, districts and individual schools. Iowa has been no exception to the implementation and, as a state, has also decided to amend the Com-mon Core State Standards slightly to better fit the educational practices implemented in Iowa’s core for years.

As educators we have had the op-portunity to see the Common Core State Standards laid out in their en-tirety. We have known for some time these standards were going to be im-plemented across the state and nation.

Planning, preparing, studying, ask-ing questions, finding materials and resources in order to meet these stan-dards has taken place, but above all we are working to meet the needs of the students with whom we work. As ed-ucators, we have become knowledge-able about the Common Core but feel like it is not being justly represented to the public.

We would like to take this opportu-nity to explain some of the fundamen-tal goals of the Common Core State Standards, which include a need for consistency within education, meeting the long-term needs of our students, incorporating research based instruc-tional routines and practices, 21st cen-tury skills, and high stakes testing. It is also important to understand what the CCSS were not designed to do.

The CCSS were designed academi-cally from the top down. Meaning, re-searchers looked at what skills were needed for students at the collegiate level. Once these skills were deter-mined, the developers took their time to break down these skills into grade level goals and benchmarks that were meant to build in complexity from one grade level to the next.

This structure allows for consis-tency across the state, and nation, in terms of educational content, skills, and strategies being introduced to all students. Students in Newton fol-low the same criteria as all students throughout the state and nation.

Along with common criteria, edu-cators have found that the CCSS also raises the bar for academic expecta-tions. Common Core State Standards are higher rigor than what students, and many educators, are used to.

Our experiences with Everyday

Math are showing that students are capable of learning at higher levels than we traditionally thought possible in the past. In addition to higher rigor, the CCSS are also designed to level the playing field. Everyone has the same standards to reach within each grade level regardless of the school or district students attend.

These standards are designed to give students the skills they need to not only be successful from year to year, but also prepare them for higher levels of education after high school. Although not all students at-tend college, it is our goal as educators to ensure that all students will be pre-pared for collegiate level academics if they so choose. In addition to prepar-ing students for their futures, CCSS also support student growth within their current grade levels.

Most readers have heard of No Child Left Behind. This federal man-date was designed to push student achievement to higher levels across the United States. This school year (2013-14), No Child Left Behind was designed to come to fruition, meaning all schools across the country are ex-pected to have 100 percent of students scoring proficiently on a nationally standardized assessment, or showing adequate growth towards scoring pro-ficiently.

While this program has sparked a fair amount of controversy, like it or not, in the educational world it is our reality.

As mentioned before, CCSS are designed to help raise the bar of edu-cational expectations. Over the past two years we have been working to incorporate CCSS into our regular curriculum.

Along with this implementation we have started to see changes within our classrooms and students. We are see-ing and hearing more complex think-ing and problem solving. Students are becoming more engaged with updated classroom materials and technologies.

Teachers are using data to work on the specific skills and strategies stu-dents need to focus on instead of just incorporating a “one-size-fits-all” les-son plan. Our goal for this implemen-tation is to support overall student academic growth which will result in improved performances on standard-ized tests.

To support our students in making this needed growth, the school district, for grades kindergarten through sixth, has purchased a new reading program called Reading Wonders. The Read-ing Wonders program was selected by a team of local teachers and adminis-trators whom represented each grade level from each building.

This team gave careful consid-eration to research as they explored different programs available for our district to adopt. The team was unani-mous in selecting our current reading program. The materials encompass the skills and content that aligns to the Common Core.

We finally have common assess-ments teachers can use to measure student learning. Even more impor-tant will be the opportunity to analyze data from student learning and make adjustments in our teaching.

Our materials, resources, and Com-mon Core Standards are new to both the teachers and students. With any new change will always come chal-lenges, but the benefits of expecting more from our kids will result in high-er levels of learning. We have already proven that with the new math pro-gram we adopted four years ago.

One important component to un-derstand about the CCSS is that it doesn’t tell school districts or teach-ers how to teach. This was inten-tional! The goal for the CCSS is for individual districts and schools to de-termine how they are going to meet these standards.

As you could imagine, this could be a very complicated and tedious task. If left to do this on their own, teachers would have to research and find their own materials and create lesson plans designed to gradually build in com-plexity from where students start to where they need to be able to go by the end of the year.

Along the way, teachers would also need to create periodic assessments to monitor students’ progress, plan les-sons to reteach the skills when stu-dents are not understanding it the first time, and determine overall what it would look like when a student does master a CCSS. This would be a dif-ficult task for even the most experi-enced teachers.

Instead of asking our teachers to do this work on their own, which has been asked of some teachers in dis-tricts across the state, we were able to purchase a researched-based pro-gram that was designed to meet the grade level standards as written in the CCSS.

The Reading Wonders program was written and created to meet the CCSS, monitor student’s progress, and support all students in reaching these academic goals. The Wonders program is a tool for teachers to use to meet the CCSS.

While it is not the only way of meeting the standards, it is the way our district has decided to meet the high expectations of the CCSS.

As a school district, we have imple-mented new programs in the past. As mentioned before, there are chal-lenges with any new program. How-ever, the benefit of implementing the CCSS and a program like Wonders translates into students who are more adequately prepared for their futures.

At the end of the day the writers of the CCSS, the developers of No Child Left Behind, administrators, teachers and support staff have the same goal in mind. We are going to do everything it takes to help our students succeed.

They are the reason we do what we do and we would not want it any other way.

Newton, your hometown kid is here.

It goes without saying it’s an honor to be able to write for my hometown paper.

I had a chance to enjoy the Country Music Association Awards on Wednesday night as I prepared for the Main Street Rally events set for today. The CMA award show is always a must-see for me as I am one of the biggest fans of country mu-sic in my social groups.

The tradition of bringing old country music with new country music for this historic night is always the biggest sell-ing point to the show.

After the show was done, I got back to the task at hand: Newton Main Street. I put my ear buds in and the first song to come on was “When I See This Bar” by Kenny Chesney. I started to think about what I see when I see the main street of Newton.

In the end, what I see when I look at Main Street Newton is truly inspired by the lyrics of Chesney’s song.

I think of getting back to-gether with friends no matter if it’s the crew from back in high school or my co-workers here at the Daily News. It’s about creating the memories with enjoying the adult nights of ka-raoke at The Scoreboard, a live band at First Avenue Speak-easy, a good meal at the Race-way Cafe, or escaping Newton and professional life with a movie at the Capitol II.

The business owners and contributors of entertainment of the venues of main street create the experience week in and week out. The creation of Thunder Nites, gaming on the big screen, NFL Sunday Ticket, and countless number of smaller events create a draw to come downtown.

In the end, the community has seen its gains, losses and returns.

A hometown kid coming into his own putting his chips in to make a change to where he calls home. A dreamer bet-ting on blind faith, seeing what needs to be done with the at-titude of simply getting it done with a style and grace.

I’m sure other people see something different when they see our main street, but it’s simply about what you make it because what we do now will be the future of Newton.

Newton Main Street is an opportunity for the community to have a voice in the revital-izing of downtown Newton. If you want more informa-tion on Main Street Newton you can get information at the Newton Chamber of Com-merce and for the technology inclined you can find informa-tion on the Newton Chamber of Commerce website as well as Newton Main Street Facebook page.

The Newton Main Street Rally at Capitol II is today at noon and at 5:30 p.m., so come out support Main Street New-ton.

• Dylan D. Thompson, 21, of Ira was charged with fifth-degree theft after authorities responded to a com-plaint of two individuals shoplifting at 3:30 p.m. Thursday at Walmart. Store employees said the two individuals concealed merchandise and left the store without paying for the items. One of the subjects was identified as Thompson. He was charged for alleg-edly helping a female steal a bottle of oil valued at $19.23 and released to appear in court.

• Martin R. Waddle, 46, of Kellogg was charged with driving while license barred after authorities stopped him at 6:48 p.m. Saturday in the 800 block of North 23rd Avenue West for not having lights on a trailer his vehicle was pulling. Authorities determined his license had been suspended and also cited him with failure to have SR insurance and gave him a warning for registration violation and tail lights.

• Christian P. Wolfe, 20, of Newton was charged with theft/possession of stolen property after county authori-ties conducted a search of a blue 1999 Chevy Tahoe and found a storm sewer grate, a manhole casting and manhole lid owned by the City Of Newton. The vehicle had been searched by Jas-per County Sheriff ’s Office authorities on Oct. 22 in connection with a cop-per wire theft when the city’s items also were found in the vehicle, located at 627 W. Second St. S. in Newton. The total value of the city’s items was $470. Wolfe was charged Friday at the police depart-ment and released to appear in court.

• Megan A. Young, 30, of Newton was charged with trespass and fifth degree theft and Nathan L. McCum-ber, 26, of Newton was charged with fifth-degree theft after authorities re-sponded to a theft complaint at 11:50 a.m. Saturday at Walmart. Young was charged with concealing $40.03 worth of merchandise in her purse and at-tempting to leave the store. She also was charged for being on Walmart property after being served a trespass order April 13 that prevents her from being on Walmart property. McCum-ber was charged for allegedly conceal-ing $38.77 worth of merchandise in his coat and attempting to the leave the store. Young was taken to the Jas-per County Jail, and McCumber was released to appear in court.

A criminal charge is merely an accusa-tion, and the defendant is presumed in-nocent until and unless proven guilty. It is the policy of the Newton Daily News to release the names of individuals charged with a crime who are 16 and older.

Jody Hoyt said semi-trailers frequently drive through the neighbor-hood — usually faster than the 25 mph speed limit — causing their home to shake. She said she frequently must rear-range her dishes because of the truck traffic.

The Hoyts first ap-proached the Newton Police Department with their concerns and re-quest for stop signs. They were then directed to the Traffic Safety Commit-tee. Dave Hoyt said his request at the commit-tee’s October meeting fell of deaf ears.

“I’ve lived in that neighborhood for 35 years, and in that time, there have been seven cars totalled — one of which was ours — be-cause people were driving too fast and hit parked cars,” he said. “The one that hit our car knocked it clear up in the neigh-bor’s yard. He said he was doing 25 mph. There’s no way.”

The Hoyts said some-thing has to be done be-cause a number of new families with young chil-dren have moved in, and the neighborhood is im-mediately north of Berg School and south of New-ton Christian School. To them, the need for stop signs is a simple matter of

safety.“We were there the

night [Brendan O’Brien] was killed,” Judy Hoyt said. “We came up on it just after it happened. It was a terrible tragedy; something you just don’t get rid of.”

O’Brien’s mother, Molly Moore of Kellogg, spoke to the City Coun-cil during the public fo-rum portion of Monday night’s meeting. She tear-fully begged the council to consider installing the stop signs.

Three more residents stood before the council to echo her sentiments. Two weeks earlier, the Hoyts presented the council with more than 300 petitions signed by those who live in the area, those who frequent-ly travel in the area, and those who have students at Berg.

“We only had three people who were offered the petition and said they wouldn’t sign it, and that was because they just don’t sign petitions,” Dave Hoyt said.

At the onset of discus-sions regarding the Traffic Safety Committee’s rec-ommendation to restrict parking, Public Works Director Keith Laube discussed the guidelines the committee uses when determining traffic safety issues. The first priority, he said, is safety, followed by the efficiency of traffic flow.

“With regard to stop signs, there are several criteria we follow,” he said. “The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices looks at visibility and the amount of traffic. We try to be consistent in how we apply those. Based on those criteria, [East 19th Street North at North 11th Avenue East] doesn’t warrant a four-way stop at this time.”

Laube said there have been five accidents in the vacinity of the intersec-tion of East 19 Street and North 11th Avenue in the past three years.

Councilor Evelyn George, who represents the neighborhood in question, noted that the neighborhood has an ex-ceptionally high number of pedestrians. Not only does it have a lot of school children walking to Berg or Newton Christian School, but also adults who want to use the track there for walking, as well as those who plan to use the Hike and Bike Trail, which begins at East 19th Street North.

“It’s a pedestrian safety issue,” she said. “There are periods where there is a very heavy volume of pedestrians. That’s when we need to be most con-cerned ... with stop signs in place, we’re only talk-ing about adding a few seconds for drivers.”

Councilor Dennis Julius said eliminating

parking on the east side of the street would only exaggerate the problem. He said drivers would be more careful and obser-vant if cars are parked on both sides.

Jasper County Asses-sor John Deegan, who lives across the street from the Hoyts, also ad-dressed the council Mon-day evening. He showed councilors how the pro-posed parking change would negatively impact his safety when backing out of his own driveway.

“I don’t want the traffic to move better through there. I want to slow it down,” he said. “There are 12 houses on the west side of the street, 18 on the east — two of which are duplexes — so we’re talking potentially 20 more cars on my side of the street. The visibility won’t be better for me.”

Otto said she was supportive of both the Hoyts’ efforts to get stop signs installed, as well as the parking restriction recommendation. She asked Laube if there was a “measurable downside” to installing stop signs, even if the intersections didn’t necessarily meet MUTCD criteria.

Laube said it would not, and noted the area may warrant stop signs in the future, if more hous-ing development occurs there. That prompted Hansen to quip, “It might be sooner than you think.”

While these scams vary and can involve any utility provider, the ways to avoid falling victim are the same.

“Trust your instincts. If you get a strange feeling from the caller, do not provide them any personal information,” said Gov. Branstad. “The best way to know your utility is on the other end of the line is to call them. When in doubt, hang up on the caller and call the number for your utility.”

If customers have concerns about a call they received, they should contact their utility pro-vider. Utility representatives can confirm whether the company contacted the customer and can

confirm bill payments, service work or a service call to any ad-dress. Beware that scammers can spoof caller-ID displays, which means that they can mask the call’s true origin and make it appear as if it the call is coming from a utility company.

Tips for customers:• Do not provide Social Security

numbers, credit card or bank ac-count information to anyone who requests that information during an unsolicited phone call or an un-announced visit.

• If someone calls claiming he/she represents a local utility pro-vider and demands immediate pay-ment, delayed payment through a Green Dot or pre-purchased card, or personal information, custom-ers should hang up and call the customer service number on their

utility bill. Do not give in to a high-pressure caller seeking per-sonal information.

• Customers should never allow anyone into their home or business for an unannounced visit to check on electrical wiring, cable or phone lines, natural gas pipes, or appli-ances unless they scheduled an ap-pointment or are aware of a con-firmed problem. Any time a utility employee arrives at the door, cus-tomers should require that the em-ployee show proper identification. When in doubt, confirm the visit with the utility company.

Customers should report at-tempted scams to local law en-forcement. They also can notify the Iowa Attorney General’s Con-sumer Protection Division by vis-iting www.IowaAttorneyGeneral.gov or calling 1-888-777-4590.

DEAR ABBY: Veterans Day is next week, and I hope you’ll address some-thing I have encountered over the years. I am a Navy veteran who served four years as a Seabee. I was one of the first women to be assigned to a combat unit, and I am proud of my service. However, I dread it when Veterans Day rolls around. Why do people assume that because I’m a woman I am not a veteran?

Two years ago, when I went into a restaurant that serves veterans a free meal, the man in front of me was asked if he wanted a veterans’ menu. He declined. The hostess did not ask me if I needed one; I had to request it. Later in the meal, the manager went to each of the tables speaking to the veterans, but skipped mine.

Today, many women serve, and it should not be a stretch that some vet-erans are female. Would you comment, Abby? — OVERLOOKED IN LEX-INGTON, KY.

DEAR OVERLOOKED: Gladly. I can understand why you were offended. However, I hope you realize that what happened occurred because of these people’s ignorance, and it wasn’t personal. While our armed forces have always been predominantly male, women have offi-cially been part of our military only since World War II.

Many veterans wear hats or other items that identify what branch of the service they were in. To prevent this over-sight from happening to you again, wear an insignia next Monday, which is Veter-ans Day. If you do, it will draw attention to the fact that many women serve in the military, which might be helpful to other female veterans. Thank you for your ser-vice to our country. DEAR ABBY: My wife and I are having a disagreement about texting. She insisted that you can text anyone anytime — day or night. I feel you shouldn’t text after a time when you wouldn’t CALL someone.

Cellphones are set to ring when texts come in just as landlines do. I say if you don’t need an immediate response, send an email. What is proper etiquette re-garding when people should send texts? — POLITE IN KATY, TEXAS

DEAR POLITE: I don’t think there are hard-and-fast rules of etiquette re-garding texting — yet. But common sense would suggest that if people suspect they “might” disturb someone by texting, then they should refrain. Of course, re-cipients who don’t wish to be interrupted can put their cellphones on silent or turn them off.

If the texts you’re arguing about are intruding on time the two of you should be concentrating on each other, I see no reason why they shouldn’t be responded to the next day. DEAR ABBY: Our family is moving into a new house soon. When we were looking at the house, our 10-year-old daughter asked if she could have the bigger bedroom. We said yes, and our 12-year-old son said he “didn’t care.”

We have been in contract for two months and have gone to see the house several times. When we did our final walk-through, our son pulled my hus-band aside and said because he is older, he should get the bigger bedroom.

Of course, our daughter is upset. My husband seems to think the older kid should get his way. My thought is that our son had more than two months to speak up, but at the 11th hour the green-eyed monster is emerging. What do you think? — STARTING ANEW IN OHIO

DEAR STARTING ANEW: I think that at this point, to keep peace in your new home, it would be advisable for your children to draw straws to decide who gets the larger bedroom.

The Jasper County Veterans Memorial Commission will be constructing two new veterans’ memorials which will be

placed on the courthouse lawn. The first will serve as a memo-rial to all Jasper County vets and will be placed on the east side of

the courthouse. It will be a ten ton stone on a 15x15 pedestal and will be painted with military themed murals. The second memorial will be located on the south side of the courthouse next to the current veteran’s memorial. It will hold over 350 bricks engraved with names in honor or memory of local veterans. Any Jasper County veteran who lived in the county when they joined, lives in the county currently, or is now serving active duty is eligible to have their name placed on a brick. A copy of your DD214 or honorable discharge papers will be required along with your application. The bricks will cost $100.00 each. The bricks will hold three lines with 15 letters/spaces on each line.

(Inclusion in this project does not automatically qualify participants as veterans as defined under Iowa Code chapter 35)

Applications will be accepted until 4pm on November 8th, 2013. Due to the logistics of the process, no applications will be accepted after that.

We plan to unveil the new monuments on July 4th, 2014.

Please email [email protected] orcall Doug Bishop at 641-417-8885 with questions.

Please send completed applications along with payment and a copy of your DD214 or Honorable discharge papers to:

Diabetes is a family affair: National Diabetes Month

Diabetes is a challenging dis-ease that affects the entire family in many ways. If you are living with diabetes or have a loved one with the disease, family support is very important when it comes to manag-ing diabetes and preventing serious health problems.

It’s also important to know that if you have a family history of dia-betes — such as a mother, father, brother, or sister — you are at risk for developing type 2 diabetes. You can take steps to prevent type 2 diabetes.

Although you cannot change your family health history, knowing about it can give you the informa-tion you need to work with your health care team to take action on the things you can change. If you are at risk for type 2 diabetes, you can prevent or delay this disease by making important lifestyle changes. If you’re overweight, losing fi ve to seven percent of your body weight (for example, 10 pounds if you weigh 200 pounds) can help to pre-vent or delay type 2 diabetes. Here are some tips to help you do this:

Step 1: Move More Plan to get at least 30 minutes

of physical activity 5 days each

week to help you lose weight. You can get this amount in small ways throughout the day. If you have not been active, talk to your doctor and start slowly to build up to your goal. Here are some ideas to fi t more physical activity into your day:

• Park your car farther away from stores, movie theaters, or your of-fi ce.

• Use TV breaks to stretch, take a quick walk around your home, do some sit-ups, or march in place.

• Walk during your lunch break.• Deliver a message to a co-work-

er in person instead of by email. Take the stairs to your offi ce instead of the elevator.

• Purchase a pedometer. Chal-lenge yourself to get 10,000 steps per day.

Step 2:

Make Healthy Food ChoicesChoose foods that are low in fat,

sugar, and calories to help you lose weight. Limit portion sizes. Start today to:

• Eat a variety of colorful veg-etables and fruits.

• Choose whole grain foods —whole wheat bread and crackers, oatmeal, brown rice and cereals.

• Lower fat intake — broil or bake poultry, meats and fi sh instead of frying.

• Lighten your recipes by us-ing nonfat or low-fat milk, yogurt,

cheese, sour cream, cream cheese or mayonnaise. Use cooking spray in-stead of oil.

• Avoid getting too hungry by eating a healthy snack between meals.

• Do not keep chips, cookies, or candy in your home. Better choices for snacks might include raw veg-etables, fruit, low-fat or nonfat yo-gurt or a handful of nuts, pumpkin seeds or sunfl ower seeds.

• Choose water to drink. Use this chart as a guide for portion sizes:

- 1/2 cup rice or pasta = light bulb- 1 cup cereal fl akes or cooked

vegetables = baseball- 1 teaspoon butter or margarine

= thumb tip- 1 tablespoon salad dressing =

matchbook- 2 tablespoons peanut butter or

hummus = golf ball- 3 ounce meat/chicken/fi sh =

deck of cards.

Step 3: Start NOW to Prevent Diabetes

The key to losing weight and preventing diabetes is to make long-term changes that work for you — every day. Taking these steps is a great way to get started.

“HIRTA was created in 1981 and for 30 years (we) subcontracted our services with various non-profi t agencies. After several con-tracted providers struggled to keep the program run-ning fi nancially, HIRTA stepped in Oct. 1, 2011 and ended the contract in Jasper County,” Ramsey said.

“HIRTA thought that we could use Jasper County as a pilot program to test new services, lower rates, extended hours, new tech-nology and future projects,” she continued. “Over the past 2 years, we’ve experi-enced a lot of growth and are proud to say we’re serv-ing more people and pro-viding more rides in Jasper County than ever before.”

As a rural commu-nity transportation service, HIRTA doesn’t have bus stops like most convention-al bus services. Instead, its customers can place a call, at least one day before they need to leave, and together they arrange a pick-up.

“Our service is open to

the public, there’s no re-quirement or qualifi cation process to ride the bus,” Ramsey said. “We serve all ages, all physical abilities and provide a door to door service. All of our vehicles are handicap accessible.”

In addition to the ex-panded operating hours, another big feature for HIRTA is offering, just in time for the holiday shop-ping season, are Thursday trips to Des Moines. With a minimum of three pas-sengers and $10, custom-ers get a roundtrip to Des Moines for medical or shopping needs.

The dates these trips run are:

• Nov. 14, to Valley West Mall from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

• Nov. 21, to Jordan Creek from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

• Dec. 5, to Merle Hay Mall from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

• Dec. 12, to Valley West Mall from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

• Dec. 19, to Jordan Creek from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

• Jan. 1, to Merle Hay Mall from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m.

HIRTA also has regu-lar trips to Iowa City every Tuesday for $10 and Jasper County residents just need

to call at least one day ahead for direct pick-up. Ramsey also highlighted some ad-ditional special upcoming services HIRTA is provid-ing.

“For Veterans Day, HIRTA will be provid-ing free trips to veterans in Jasper County, they’ll need to mention they are a vet-eran when they schedule their ride,” she said. “We will also allow the veteran’s to have families ride along with them at no charge. We want to show support to all of our veterans and feel this is a great way to give back to the community.”

“We are once again partnering with the New-ton Police Department to provide free trips during the Shop with a Cop program this year,” she continued. “Again, this is a great way to help support the mem-bers of our community and help support low income families.”

Ramsey also explained that most Iowan’s don’t re-alize how noteworthy the services that HIRTA pro-vides are.

“Iowa is very unique and progressive, we’re, to my

knowledge, the only state in the U.S. that has as part of the Iowa Code, that public transportation will be avail-able in all 99 counties of the state,” she said. “HIRTA serves a 7 County region and we’re just one of the 35 state designated public transit systems in the state.”

“We believe that it is imperative that the rural communities have public transportation at their dis-posal as it can be extremely

important to quality of life, such as access to medical care, education, employ-ment and grocery shop-ping,” she continued.

With Newton and Jas-per County serving as the base for HIRTA’s every growing selection of servic-es, Ramsey, who has been with the company for three years, foresees even more growth for HIRTA.

“We’ve experienced a continuous increase and

are still seeing ridership increase. Since moving to direct services in Jasper County, we’ve also started direct services in Story county and most recently Marion County,” Ramsey said.

“We’re very proud of the progress and improvements that we’ve made and thank-ful that the residents, and our employees, in Jasper County have been so sup-portive,” she continued.

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) — A leadership vacuum may have contributed to the trou-bled relationship between Miami Dol-phins offensive linemen Jonathan Martin and Richie Incognito, which has left both players sidelined and the team in turmoil.

The ongoing saga has raised ques-tions about whether coach Joe Philbin and his staff were negligent in allow-ing issues between Martin and Incog-nito to fester. Current and ex-players around the NFL say the situation refl ects a lack of leadership because teammates of Martin and Incognito didn’t intervene.

NFL offi cials are trying to de-termine who knew what when, and

whether Incognito harassed or bul-lied Martin. A second-year tackle from Stanford, Martin left the team last week and is with his family in

California to undergo counseling for emotional issues. Incognito has been suspended indefi nitely.

A senior partner in a New York law

fi rm with experience in sports cases was appointed Wednesday by NFL Com-missioner Roger Goodell to investigate possible misconduct in the Dolphins’ workplace and prepare a report that will be made public.

“If the review reveals anything that needs to be corrected, we will take all necessary measures to fi x it,” Philbin said. “I believe in our players, I believe in our staff, I believe in our organiza-tion, the people around here. I know why I got into coaching, and I believe in the things that I’ve done.”

Two people familiar with the situa-tion said Wednesday that Martin talked of quitting football earlier in his pro ca-reer before leaving the team last week. One person said Martin considered giving up the sport because of the way he was being treated by other offensive linemen on the team. The person added that Martin now wants to continue his football career.

NFL investigating turmoil in Miami Dolphin organization Leadership vacuum

to blame in Dolphins case?

By Steven WineAP Sports Writer

PORTSMOUTH, Va. (AP) — Clarence “Ace” Parker, the oldest member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame, has died. He was 101.

Parker died Wednesday, according to Bryan Johnson of B.W. Foster Fu-neral Home in Portsmouth.

A Portsmouth native, Parker played football, basketball and base-ball at Duke, then was a fi rst-round draft choice of the National Football League’s Brooklyn Dodgers in 1937. Instead of pursuing a career on the gridiron, Parker opted to play baseball for Connie Mack and the Philadel-phia Athletics.

In his fi rst at-bat, the shortstop hit

a home run at Fenway Park, becoming the third player in major league his-tory to homer in his fi rst at-bat.

He later traded baseball for foot-ball, starring for the Dodgers from 1937-41, and winning the most valu-able player award in 1940.

That season, the 5-foot-10, 178-pounder threw 10 touchdown passes, ran for 306 yards and two touchdowns, caught two touchdown passes, kicked 19 extra points and shared the league lead with six inter-ceptions on defense. He also punted for the Dodgers, averaging 38 yards per kick.

After the 1941 season, Parker left football to serve in World War II.

He returned after the war with the Boston Yanks in 1945 and fi nished his

football career the following season in the rival American Football Confer-ence playing quarterback for the New York Yankees. Again, he traded shoes and went back to his fi rst love, base-ball.

He played and managed in the mi-nor leagues for the Portsmouth Cubs and the Durham Bulls from 1946 to 1952, and then coached football and baseball at Duke from 1947 un-til 1965. He also worked as an NFL scout for the St. Louis Cardinals and the San Francisco 49ers until his re-tirement in June 1987.

He was inducted into the Pro Foot-ball Hall of Fame in 1972.

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — With less than a month left in the 2013 regular season, Iowa’s offense is starting to look more and more like the 2012 version.

That’s not a good thing for the Hawkeyes.Iowa (5-4, 2-3 Big Ten) has taken a big step

backward of late. The Hawkeyes have scored just 19 points — with one touchdown and four fi eld goals — over their last two games in regulation. They’re now tied for 11th in the Big Ten at 25.3 points per game heading into Saturday’s game at Purdue (1-7, 0-4).

The rushing game, which was among the na-tion’s best in September, is now averaging a pe-destrian 4.3 yards per carry. The passing game isn’t much better, with just 205 yards per game and 12 TDs against 10 interceptions.

Iowa remains just a game shy of returning to bowl eligibility after winning just four games and scoring less than 20 points a game last season.

Still, the regression of the offense in the face of tougher competition is a troubling trend.

“We just need to fi nish in the red zone. We can’t settle just for three points. We have to go get touch-downs,” Iowa quarterback Jake Rudock said. “We need to have that not take no for an answer and un-derstand that, hey, we need to get in the end zone.”

The passing game hasn’t done enough to make op-ponents back off from stopping the Hawkeyes’ running backs. Rudock has had his moments, most notably when he threw for three touch-downs in a close loss at No. 4 Ohio State. But he’s also averaging an interception a game.

Rudock sprained his knee in the second half of last week’s 28-9 loss to Wisconsin, but he’s expected to start against the Boilermakers.

“In a perfect world, we like to be balanced, and sometimes you’ve got to throw it better to get the running game going. They work both ways,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said.

Last month, the Hawkeyes also appeared to have one of the league’s better rushing tandems in Mark Weisman and Damon Bullock.

But after rushing for 147 yards in a win at Minnesota, Weisman hasn’t cracked 60 in the past four games. Though Bullock was able to make up for some of that against Ohio State and in an OT win over Northwestern, he’s got just 370 yards and one touchdown with three games left.

“Safeties are coming down a little harder, fi lling in a little harder than they typically do when we watch fi lm against other teams. But that’s expected against the way we had been run-ning the ball,” Weisman said. “You have to break those tackles.”

Iowa’s struggles on of-fense were never more evi-dent than in last week’s loss to Wisconsin.

The Hawkeyes settled for three fi elds from less than 30 yards out, while the Badgers con-verted two Iowa interceptions into touchdowns that put the game out of reach. Iowa will almost certainly fi nd yards easier to come by against the Boilermakers, who are allowing 37.1 points a game. But Michigan and Nebraska loom on the other side of a bye.

Though those games against the Wolverines and Huskers are winnable in theory, the Hawk-eyes know they can’t continue to struggle on of-fense and expect their standout defense to carry them to victory.

“I’m not overly thrilled with what we’re doing right now. We need to amp it up,” Ferentz said.

AMES, Iowa (AP) — Grant Rohach is getting his chance to try to reverse Iowa State’s free fall through the Big 12 Conference.

Maybe.Rohach, a redshirt freshman, is listed as the

No. 1 quarterback on the Cyclones’ depth chart for Saturday’s home game against TCU, ahead of season-long starter Sam Richardson.

Coach Paul Rhoads said that doesn’t necessar-ily mean Rohach will take the team’s first snap, even though he played the rest of the way after replacing Richardson in the second quarter of last Saturday’s 41-7 loss at Kansas State.

“Quite honestly, depending on how this week flows, Sam could run out there as the starting quarterback,” Rhoads said Monday. “Right now, I don’t know who will be the starter.”

If that kind of talk has un-settled Rohach, it didn’t show in his demeanor. He calmly said he’ll prepare as if he’ll be the starter.

“I’ve done that every week, no matter if I’m the backup or third-string even,” he said. “I feel like no matter what position, you always need to pre-pare as if you’re going to start the game, so that’s how I’m going to attack it.”

Neither quarterback distinguished himself last week in the Cyclones’ latest embarrassing loss.

Richardson, a sophomore, completed 6 of 12

passes for 38 yards and was intercepted once. Ro-hach went 11-for-24 for 88 yards with two inter-ceptions. He also was sacked twice.

“I obviously did not have a great game,” Ro-hach said. “But I feel like I’m more comfortable back there than I was in my first half against Bay-lor (three weeks ago). I think I have improved since then.”

Senior running back Jeff Woody has seen this type of quarterback quandary before, whether it was Austen Arnaud vs. Jerome Tiller, Tiller vs. Steele Jantz, Jantz vs. Jared Barnett or Barnett vs. Richardson.

Richardson clearly was No. 1 going into this season, but he has been dogged by a succession of injuries, starting with a sprained ankle in the opener.

“It would be something nice to have just one guy take the bull by the horns and just run with it,” Woody said. “But stuff happens. Sam sprains an ankle, hurts his thumb, hurts his shoulder. Stuff happens.”

The Cyclones (1-7, 0-5 Big 12) are desperate for some-thing positive to happen at quarterback -- and just about every other position for that matter -- with TCU (3-6, 1-5) up next.

They’ve been outscored 170-41 in the last three games, and the offense is struggling just to make a first down. The quarterbacks are missing

open receivers, receivers are dropping balls, poor decisions are slowing the running game and the offensive line has been in disarray because of in-juries.

Last Saturday was the first time the same five interior linemen started in consecutive games, and then one of them, tackle Daniel Burton, limped off with a sprained ankle.

“We need something to kind of jump start us downfield, to get us rolling,” Woody said. “We need to make a play.”

Rhoads said Richardson’s injuries and the constant shuffling in the line have led to what might be viewed as a “sophomore jinx” for the quarterback, who played well after gaining the starting job late last season.

It also hasn’t helped that running back Aaron Wimberly has missed the last two games with a hamstring injury.

“I think all of that leads to a sophomore jinx type of picture,” Rhoads said. “Sam as a starting quarter-back in high school lost one regular season game. You don’t do that without being good at your craft and being confi dent in what you’re doing.

“But we also realize that the supporting cast is necessary for that to take place, and when a lot of that supporting cast is on the sidelines in sweats, it ’s hard to put pieces together and get in a rhythm.”

Both people spoke to The Associated Press on con-dition of anonymity because the Dolphins have said little about Martin’s departure.

Incognito’s harassment of Martin included text messages that were racist and threaten-ing, two other people familiar with the situation previously told the AP. The people spoke on condition of anonymity because the Dolphins and NFL haven’t disclosed the nature of the mis-conduct that led to Incognito’s suspension.

The team built by Philbin and general manager Jeff Ireland has undergone heavy ros-ter turnover after losing records each of the past four years. Of the 53 players on the squad, 20 are new to Miami this season.

“That’s the one thing I’ve heard from every single former player ... there’s a lack of leader-ship,” said Jimmy Cefalo, a former Dolphins receiver and now their play-by-play announcer. “They might step in with Richie and say, ‘Look, this has got to change.’”

The Dolphins’ oldest player, 34-year-old John Denney, is a long snapper who sees little action. The second-oldest, 34-year-old Bryant McKinnie, has been with the team less than three weeks. The third-oldest, 31-year-old Tyson Clabo, joined the Dolphins this year.

In 2012 the team’s player leadership council includ-ed Reggie Bush, Karlos Dansby and Jake Long, all of whom left after last season. Their replacements were second-year quarterback Ryan Tannehill, newcomer Dannell Ellerbe — and Incognito.

“It’s easy to attack a locker room for a lack a leader-ship when we as players voted on our leaders for lead-ership council, and he was one of our leaders,” receiver Brian Hartline acknowledged.

An assertive veteran might have prevented any problems from escalating, said former NFL running back LaDainian Tomlinson, now an analyst with NFL Network.

“In every locker room there are jerks; we all have them,” Tomlinson said. “But at the same time, there are always guys that can go and talk to that jerk and say, ‘You’re going overboard.’ My problem is Miami doesn’t have that guy. ...

“If you’re a player in that locker room, there has to be someone there to be able to step up and help that guy. You know the personnel of the guys in your locker room a lot of times — the leaders do — and if a guy can’t defend himself and isn’t capable of standing up for himself, it is up to the guys in that locker room to say, ‘Hey man, let’s not go there’ or ‘You’re going too far.’”

Such comments annoyed Dolphins players. De-fensive end Cameron Wake, a fi fth-year pro, said the criticism unfairly undermines the integrity of the or-ganization.

“It ’s unfortunate, it ’s wrong, it ’s ridiculous and it ’s hard to hear,” Wake said. “Coach Philbin has done nothing but turn this organi-zation in a positive direction from top to bottom.”

New York attorney Ted Wells was chosen by the NFL to inves-tigate. He has conducted special investigations into the Syracuse basketball sexual harassment case, and the NBA players union leadership dispute. In the latter case, his report led to a change in the head of the union.

“He is on the job as of today and will undertake to complete his work as promptly as possible,” Goodell said in a statement. “Consistent with doing a thorough investigation, we have not imposed a specifi c timetable on him.”

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — John Moffi tt wasn’t unhappy with a lack of playing time in Den-ver. He quit the NFL because he’d lost his love for the game and was tired of risking his health.

The third-year guard from Wisconsin called the Broncos from his home in Seattle this week to notify them he wouldn’t be returning to the team following its bye.

Then he announced on Twitter that he was call-ing it a career, saying, “Football was fun but my head hurts-haha kidding roger goodell. I’m on to new things, thanks to everyone along the way!!!”

The Broncos put him on their reserve/left team list on Tuesday when they activated center J.D. Walton from the physically unable to perform list.

They have fi ve days to formally release Moffi tt, who left more than $1 million on the table, including about $312,500 for the remainder of this season and $752,500 in non-guaranteed salary in 2014.

Moffi tt, who signed a four-year contract for nearly $3 million after Seattle made him the 75th overall draft pick in 2011, said he knows teammates and fans don’t understand how he could forgo the fame and fortune of pro football.

“I just really thought about it and decided I’m not happy. I’m not happy at all,” Moffi tt told The Associated Press in a phone interview from Seattle. “And I think it’s really madness to risk your body, risk your well-being and risk your happiness for money.

“Everybody, they just don’t get it and they think it’s crazy. But I think what I was doing is crazy.”

He said he didn’t want to see things through this season for the shot at a Super Bowl.

“I don’t care about the Super Bowl. I don’t,” Moffi tt insisted. “I used to. I mean, anytime I played this game, I gave my heart to it and I’m a person that does thing with his heart. ... I don’t

need the Super Bowl experience. I played in great stadiums and I played against great players. And I had that experience and it’s enough.”

The Broncos acquired Moffi tt on Aug. 20 from the Seahawks after he’d lost out on one of two start-ing guard spots in Seattle during training camp. He played in two games for the Broncos (7-1).

Moffi tt, 27, made about $1.8 million before taxes in his 21⁄2 seasons in the NFL.

“I’ve saved enough. It’s not like I’m sitting here and I’m a millionaire,” he said. “That’s what I kind of realized. I’m sitting here and I got to this point and I was like, what is the number that you need? How much do you really need? What do you want in life? And I decided that I don’t really need to be a millionaire.

“I just want to be happy. And I fi nd that people that have the least in life are sometimes the happi-est. And I don’t have the least in life. I have enough in life. And I won’t sacrifi ce my health for that.”

Moffi tt stressed that he’s not passing judgment on his former colleagues, saying, “This is all my personal stuff and I respect this game and I respect the men in this game.”

Although Moffi tt never had a history of concus-sions, he acknowledged all the blows he sustained in practices and games concerned him.

“I’m not trying to be the poster boy for ‘Oh, I thought I should leave because of concussions.’ I’m just saying, it’s a valid point,” Moffi tt said. “I love the game and I respect the game and everybody who plays it knows what they risk and I knew what I risked when I played, and I’m no longer willing to risk it.”

Moffi tt said the timing of his decision had nothing to do with Walton being activated from the reserve/PUP list, although “I’m glad it worked out like that.”

Astrograph

Jovial Jupiter, the planet of abundance, good fortune and largesse, does an about-face to inspire us toward introspection. Mercury is still retrograde, too, though much crankier about it than Jupiter will be. Jupiter’s op-timism makes him immune to the ill effects of a retro-grade. In Cancer, Jupiter will have us thinking deeply about maternal ties.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 7). You really don’t give yourself enough credit, but your humility will serve you well this year, as it en-ables you to learn from ev-eryone you meet. New busi-ness in December lines your pockets. Your family grows in January. Someone falls in love with your depth in February. Pick up a skill in March. You’ll travel in style in June. Gemini and Li-bra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 39, 33, 31 and 47.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You can learn about what it means to be coura-geous through stories of cou-rageous acts. But you can

only learn about your own courage by finding it inside yourself and using it when the moment arises.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The day is mostly filled with positives, but it’s peppered with a few frustra-tions. Just when you start to think your life is hard, some-one with a truly difficult circumstance helps you get perspective.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Originality will count in a big way. Don’t blend in; fit in instead.Be like a puzzle piece, pro-viding the parts that are lack-ing or lacking the parts that are provided.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Until you find someone to listen to you or some other way to unload your thoughts, your mind may feel a bit like a drawer crammed with strange accumulated items from your past.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’ll get more than your fair share of feedback, and most of it good. But

you won’t learn much from positive comments, so keep digging and asking what you could do better.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). To some people, all of that thinking that you do looks like you just sitting quietly. But make no mistake, think-ing is labor. Today it will be taxing labor, too, but by the day’s end, you’ll have sorted out a big problem.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Accomplishments will happen because of one per-son’s will. An entire com-pany of people wouldn’t be able to do what you alone do today and with great inten-tion and focus.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You may feel like your performance is being scru-tinized. Celebrate the awe-some and the awful of it. If you were perfect on the first try, the fun of learn-ing, growing and improving would be lost.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Doctors don’t heal wounds; rather, they do what they can

to support the body’s natu-ral healing abilities. Non-physical wounds work in the same way. In a supportive environment, they gradually mend.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re afraid that if you for-give someone, he or she will keep perpetuating the wrong behavior. You may be right about this. To avoid a code-pendent relationship, you’ll have to spell out the bound-aries.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Mastery is about ap-portioning your attention intelligently. You will give prolonged focus to a practice every day so that later you can execute the task with minimal effort.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Having the same opinion as a large number of other peo-ple doesn’t make your opin-ion right or wrong. It only reduces the chances that you’ll be persecuted for it.
