Santorum tovisit Clintonon WednesdayBy Ben JacobsonHerald Staff Writer

CLINTON —Republican presidentialcandidate and formerPennsylvania SenatorRick Santorum will try towoo Clinton voters thisweek, with a campaignstop at Happy Joe’s onWednesday at 8 a.m. TheClinton visit will be part ofa six-day tour of Iowa, alittle over a month beforethe state hosts its caucuson Jan. 3.

Santorum has investedheavily in building sup-port in Iowa, recentlycompleting a tour of thestate that took him to all99 counties. The Clintonlibrary hosted Santorumon Aug. 1, as he pushedfor a win at the Iowa StrawPoll on!Aug. 13. He dis-cussed the importance offamily values, and howhaving strong morals isessential to the federalgovernment.

“The foundation of ourcountry is not the individ-ual,” Santorum said at theAugust event. “It is thefamily ...If we destroythat, America doesn’t sur-vive either.”

Santorum finishedfourth in the straw poll,and is currently pollingseventh out of eight candi-dates according toRealclearpolitics.com’sRCP!average. A strongfinish at the Iowa caucuscan make or break a cam-paign, evidenced by now-president Barack Obama’swin at the 2008Democratic Caucus.

Following the 8 a.m.Clinton appearance,Santorum will visit theDeWitt Community Centerat 10 a.m. for a similar“meet and greet”!event.

She compared it toGene Chizik, a formerIowa State footballcoach. She said thatChizik was mostly unsuc-cessful as an Iowa Statecoach, but won a nationalchampionship within twoyears of taking over asthe head coach at AuburnUniversity. Moore saidthat Chizik’s success islikely more to do with hisimproved recruiting baseat the higher-profile foot-ball program than actualcoaching ability.

Conversely, currentIowa State coach PaulRhoads wins less gamesthan Chizik, but Moorebelieves he inspires histeam to try for greatness.Similarly, teachers inmore affluent areas or

with historically superioracademics may appear tobe better on paper, butmay not be superior totheir Iowa counterparts.

“Some of us are PaulRhoads,”!she said. “Someof us are Gene Chizik.”

Anti-union sentimentmay have crept into thereform, according toWolfe.!The reform plandoesn’t specifically callfor the dispersal of teach-ers’ unions, but theremoval of collective bar-gaining elements wouldlikely make them irrele-vant, Wolfe said.

Job security would besignificantly reducedthrough accountabilityreforms, which Wolfesaid may make it moredifficult to get individu-als to invest the time andenergy to earn teachingcertificates.

“We would not haveteachers’ unions in 10

years,” she said. “Thistakes away, really, anyreason for them to exist.”

However, Wolfe andBowman stated that notevery aspect of thereform plan should beignored. Bowman saidimproving the teacherrecruitment process,including better commu-nication between dis-tricts, is a goal that edu-cators should strive for.He also praised frame-work for a teacher coach-ing plan that could con-ceivably improve collab-oration.

But weeding out theperceived negative ele-ments to focus on thepositive may not be apossibility, according toBowman.

He said he believes thatGov. Branstad wants topass the reform plan as is,potential warts and all.

“(Gov. Branstad’s)

going to have a hard timewith legislators pickingaway at his plan,”Bowman said.

Bowman and Wolfesaid they would followup with town hall atten-dees with a survey to getmore input on the reformpackage.

The reform package isbelieved by supporters tobe the “blueprint”!torestoring Iowa to educa-tion superiority. Gov.Branstad’s campaign wasbased in part on hispromise to return a topranking to Iowa schools,a distinction Iowa’s edu-cational system held dur-ing his previous adminis-trations.

The blueprint guidelinematerial states that thechanges are necessary tokeep Iowa students com-petitive, not only in localjob markets, but interna-tionally as well.

Gimenez terminatedReves’ employment at theVictory Center that day.

Documents state that dur-ing a Wednesday afternooninterview with Foley, Revesadmitted to using the inter-net to find, download andsave images of childreninvolved in prohibited acts.He surrendered a Lexor 2gbUSB storage device toFoley, stating he used thedevice to store several hun-dred images of children inseveral stages of undress,the documents state.

Foley used ForensicRecovery of EvidenceDevice and Forensic ToolKit software to complete aforensic examination of thestorage device on Thursday,locating thousands of delet-ed images of children underthe age of 18 in differentstages of undress; thedevice also contained eightimages depicting childrenunder the age of 18involved in a prohibitedsexual act, court recordsstate.

Foley met with Reves at12:45 p.m. Thursday andprovided him with copies ofthe eight known images ofchildren in prohibited acts.Reves admitted to down-loading all of the images,documents state, and he wasarrested and booked into theClinton County Jail withoutincident.

The eight counts of sexu-al exploitation of a minorthat Reves is charged withare aggravated misde-meanors. These chargescarry with them a maximumof two years in prison andbetween $625 and $6,250 infines for each count. CountyAttorney Mike Wolf saiddue to the nature of thesecharges, other special sen-tences are included. If con-victed, after finishing what-ever prison sentence he wasassigned, Reves would haveto then complete 10 years ofparole. He would be regis-tered as a sex offender dur-ing his parole and for anoth-er 10 years following theparole.

“If you build it, theywill come,”!Olson joked.

The committee will bechaired by Jeff Reed, aparent of two students inthe district. Reed was cho-sen in part because his res-idence is not in any dangerof being pushed into a newschool boundary zone.

The first meeting willtake place Thursday atClinton High School. Taskforce members will be

given a demographic chartto help determine a fairdistribution of studentsthroughout the district.Stated goals of the taskforce will be to attempt aneven split of students ofvarying socio-economicstatus and ethnicity, and toensure students in eachboundary zone have a saferoute to school.

In other action, theboard:

• Listened to a report onthe potential impact of theClinton board of review’songoing property tax dis-pute with Archer DanielsMidland Company

(ADM) from district busi-ness manager JanCulbertson.

The dispute is ongoing,and only a partial settle-ment has been reached.ADM maintains that itscogeneration facility is autility facility, and istherefore exempt frommuch of the propertytaxes being requested.

The lowered stipulatedsettlement reduces ADMsproperty tax obligationby more than half, mean-ing that some of the com-pany’s first tax paymentwill have to be refunded,and the second payment

may not be coming at all.The lowered property

tax value on ADM’scogeneration facility willcost the district $100,827that was expected to bedistributed in November,and a total of $761,000for the year.

However, Culbertsonsaid the district willretain its spendingauthority, and may be eli-gible with outside aid tomake up the deficit.However, it is possiblethat property taxes couldbe raised to help defraythe effect of the lost fund-ing.
