Students shine in honor band performance
Musicians from every Jasper County school participate in 2025 honor band
Almost 100 kids filled the Berg Middle School stage for the 2025 Jasper County Honor Band. Showing off their skills on musical instruments, the kids put on a show-stopping performance, no fooling, on April 1.
The band was led by guest director Lynnville-Sully Middle School Band Director Brenna Hamborg. Students from all six county schools participated in the 51st edition of the honor band.
“The students were awesome to work
with. I had such a fun time working with all of them,” Hamborg said. “They all worked really hard to get this music down. I could not be prouder of the group here tonight.”
The students arrived at Berg Middle
Jasper County’s property tax levy hearing highlights confusion of tax
system
Officials stress they have no control over school district and city levies
Before any more complaints about school district levies and assessments could be lobbed at Jasper County during a public hearing discussing its proposed tax rate, supervisors set the record straight and said they have no control over the schools or cities and that they lower their levies when assessments soar.
Taxpayers expressed their frustrations with tax rates published in a controversial mailer that has proven to only confuse and irritate those who have received it. They also argued against the reasons the proposed property tax rate exceeds the current property tax rate. Again, much of it dealt with the school and cities.
Others tried comparing their home budgets to government budgets. Coupled with inflation
and other economic factors, they now have to budget themselves less because property taxes continue to take up more and more of their income. They also criticized
the way some cities and schools keep the levy rate the same.
When assessments increase and levy rates stay

“We worked a lot on balance,” Hamborg said. “We have a really big group. A

After hours of work, the kids got a
Farmers could see another bailout if U.S. tariffs cause economic fallout in agriculture
U.S. Sec. of Agriculture also assures Trump administration will be opening up markets and expanding trade to other countries
Farmers should be noticing a pattern by now. When the Trump administration imposed tariffs amidst trade wars with China in 2018, farmers were compensated with a round
of bailouts. U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins said if farmers’ pockets are hurt again by the tariffs, they can expect the same outcome. Rollins appeared alongside Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds and other state

Spring City Pharmacy in Colfax is urging community members to talk to local state legislators about passing files related to pharmacy benefit managers, a “middleman” that is costing the pharmacy thousands of dollars.

insurance companies more for the prescription than they pay the pharmacy.
“Basically making them be transparent about the fees that they’re collecting instead of skimming their profits from what is intended to go to the pharmacies,” Magg said. “In its current form, the legislation also requires them to pay a small dispensing fee to help cover the overhead costs, as well.”
Iowa House Rep. Jon Dunwell recently addressed the issue saying HF 852 is on the House unfinished business calendar, ensuring it is “funnel-proof” and will remain under consideration for this session. It has already passed the commerce committee unanimously.
“Throughout my tenure, we’ve consistently tackled issues surrounding PBMs, yet progress has been stalled repeatedly by the Senate,” Dunwell said.
The owners are asking community members to contact any and all state senators and ask

them to support SF 282. He singled out three specific senators as most critical to the cause: Kike Klimesh, Ken Rozenboom and Amy Sinclair. “It’s expected to pass the Iowa House, but just like last year, despite having enough votes for it to pass, we’re afraid the senate will refuse to even bring it to a vote,” Magg said. “From what we understand, reaching out to these three senators is the most crucial.”
Should it stall again this year, Spring City Pharmacy is looking at a very different future. From no pharmacist on site to having to completely close, the locally run business will be looking at hard times.
“There could be a possibility of someone taking it over as a telepharmacy, but that means there would no longer be a pharmacist on-site, and everything would be done via video conference,” Magg said. “Telepharmacies typically have reduced hours, such as being open only half of the day instead of all day.
“Honestly, though, that would be a best-case situation. Most likely, we would be forced to close, and there would no longer be a pharmacy in Colfax. No

Taxes

the same, taxing entities can take in more property tax revenue generally speaking. But depending on that year’s rollback and other factors like the military and 65-andold exemptions, some tax payers may see a decrease in their property taxes.
Carla Sabin, of rural Newton, was distraught when she saw the mailer. As someone who lives on a fixed income, she was disturbed to see her taxes increase so significantly. She is also getting cash rent for a small farm. The cash rent for the farmland used to pay for the taxes and the insurance.
“It barely covers the taxes now,” she said. “So the insurance has to come out of my limited income. What’s happening is I’m going to get taxed right out of my house. If I have to sell it, I have to go somewhere else and I’m going to have the same problem. So what do I do? I’ve lived there for 30-plus years.”
Sabin lives in a more than 100-year-old house along a gravel road. The assessed value of the home. According to the assessor’s office, the assessed value of the home, its other structures and the land it resides on has increased from $169,960 to $284,960 in the span of five years.
“How do I makes ends meet?” Sabin said. “You’ve guys have got to stop this.”
Supervisors were sympathetic and suggested Sabin’s story is unfortunately not unique. Several people are feeling this way, and they are struggling.
matter how badly we want to try and hang on for just six more months or even a year, we’ve run out of things that we can borrow against, and we have no cash left to pay the suppliers or the employees since we fill so many prescriptions at a loss.”
He also pointed out the lack of patronage from community members. While it is comforting knowing a pharmacy is available in Colfax, it hasn’t necessarily lead to locals using the services.
“It is disappointing some days to see the lack of patronage from community members,” Magg said. “We’ve had local customers talk about how they forgot to get something at Wal-Mart, and they’ll be happy we have the exact product they wanted. Some even mention that it’s slightly cheaper than what they got it for last time at the big box stores because we are trying hard to be affordable and competitive for the community. Only to never see that person in the store until a year later when they forgot something else.”
Since 1906, there has been a pharmacy on the corner of North Walnut and Howard Streets in downtown Colfax. For the first 110 years, the Weirick and Patter-

Eventually, Supervisor Brandon Talsma was confronted about the mailer and asked to explain it. He couldn’t provided an explanation, only that he does not like it. Which is exactly how the Newton school district felt last week during its public hearing discussing the proposed tax levy.
Talsma reminded the nine or so people in attendance on April 1 that the only portion of the tax rates Jasper County controls is the county’s.
“We don’t control the schools and we don’t control the cities — only the county,” Talsma said. “We have zero say over what the school does or doesn’t do. Same thing if you live inside city limits. We have zero say over what they do with their’s. That mailer you’re holding is what we’re required to have sent out.”
House File 718 required the mailers be sent out to taxpayers.
But between the documents lacking any kind of property-specific information and including an arbitrary property value increase, several officials have criticized the mailer; Newton News reported the city, the county and school district had denounced it.
“Everybody agrees that it’s completely worthless,” Talsma said.
He went on to say that in response to the rising property assessments, Jasper County decided it would not keep the levy the same and instead lowered it so that the county was still only taking in the same amount — or close to the same amount — of revenues from the previous year. Attendees were skeptical.
“Every time valuation increases happen, the county has actually dropped the levies down in ac-
son families had a well-run business that weathered both World Wars, recessions and everything in between. Magg, Van Howeling and Tjaden wanted to keep the business going and put a lot into making sure it wouldn’t disappear to history.
“We are also the only locally owned pharmacy in all of Jasper County, and I like to think the level of care we provide as members of the community, versus owners and executives who can’t even find Jasper County on a map, is exceptionally different,” Magg said. “When we opened Spring City Pharmacy, we assumed the most significant service we would be helping were those who don’t have a vehicle or can’t afford to drive out of town. However, I quickly realized the people who depend on us the most are the loved ones pushing the limit for still living independently. Without us, they might not be able to live on their own anymore, forcing them to leave the community.”
Along with the pharmacy, the business boasts a robust selection of over-the-counter medical items, a large selection of greeting cards, toys, home decor and

cordance,” Talsma said. “We have only increased our total property tax dollars being collected twice in the seven years that I’ve been here. We have routinely dropped (the levy).
Sabin asked, “Then why has mine now dropped every year?”
“Because I have no control over the school district. I have no control over the community college district. I have no control over the (cities). I can only control the county’s,” Talsma added before being asked if the school and city budgets run through the county. “No, that’s not at all how it works.”
Supervisor Doug Cupples said if the county did have control over the school levies and city levies then residents would not be paying as much. Supervisor Thad Nearmyer noted it is a common misconception that all of the budgets go through the county.
The board of supervisors stressed the need to find good people to run for school board and city council and who want to lower taxes and lower levy rates.
“Let me tell you, the three us hate taxes,” Cupples said. “We hate ‘em! We hate doing ‘em. We don’t like ‘em. Fortunately, we authentically care about this … We have made tremendous, tremendous cuts to the budget. Your taxes right now, if we had not done that, would be considerably higher.”
Nearmyer added, “The property tax system is so convoluted… The system is a mess, and your state legislators are the ones that you have to talk to about fixing that. If we could sit up here and rewrite this thing we would do it.
Unfortunately we can’t do that, so we have to go by the rules that are given to us.”
gift items. They were able to save the historic soda fountain and are proud to serve classics including Vanilla Cokes and green rivers along with homemade ice cream.
“Those of us who grew up here remember it from our childhood,” Magg said. “When the three of us, all lifelong residents born and raised in Colfax, came together to reopen and save our only pharmacy, we knew it wouldn’t be easy and that we would be lucky to break even, but we were okay with that as long as we could pay our bills. Never did we imagine that it would be legal, let alone common, to be forced to fill so many prescriptions at a loss.
“Forty pharmacies closed last year in Iowa alone. Nationwide, one independent and two chain pharmacies close every day. If this legislation doesn’t pass, or if something doesn’t happen very soon, there will be no pharmacies left. Imagine being sick and needing an antibiotic, but you have to wait for it to come in the mail three days after your doctor sends in the prescription. That is what it will be like in the next few years if something doesn’t happen.”

leaders on March 31 during a tour of agricultural facilities, including a dry mill ethanol plant in Atlantic, a family farm in Waukee and Beck’s Hybrids in Colfax. Newton News gathered with other state reporters to speak with Rollins after a roundtable.
In between each stop, Rollins said she has been on the phone with the White House and with people back in Washington, D.C. Hopefully, she said, American farmers and the agriculture community won’t be hurt by these incoming trade decisions and the tariffs imposed on other countries.
“But if they are, the president’s commitment is the same today as it was five or six years ago,” Rollins said. “And we at USDA and our partners across Congress and in Washington will work around the clock to ensure that we have the programs in place to do what we did the last time.”
While the economic impact has yet to be determined, Rollins assured the same commitment to farmers would be followed. U.S. Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks added that farmers and ranchers in Iowa are very pleased with the announcement that Rollins is going on trade missions to open more markets.
For the past four years, the costs of inputs — land, fuel, fertilizer, etc. — for farmers
and ranchers, Rollins said, have increased on average about 30 percent.
“Also we have a trade deficit of almost $50 billion that was $0 when we left the (first Trump administration),” Rollins said. “So there just wasn’t the focus in the last administration — I’m not here to Republican-versus-Democrat — there just wasn’t a focus to expand the markets, and in fact the markets even contracted.”
Rollins has made it her goal to visit these six countries in the coming months: India, Vietnam, Peru, Brazil, United Kingdom and Japan. She plans to take along partners from the U.S. State Department and other members of the federal government to open markets and find new markets to sell farmer goods.
Prior to speaking with the press, Rollins participated in a roundtable discussion with Beck’s Hybrids employees. Those conversations were closed off from the press, but her opening remarks were open for pictures and recording. She said President Donald Trump gave her a message to share:
“‘You tell farmers that I have their backs (and) that you will be entering a golden age of prosperity for all of our Americans, but especially our farmers and ranchers,’” Rollins said before starting the roundtable discussions at Beck’s. “…I want you know we’re there in Washington. We’re realigning the USDA.”
Baxter faced Iowa Star Conference rivals Collins-Maxwell and Colo-NESCO in district games the past two seasons but both return to the schedule this rotation as the Bolts’ two non-district foes.
Newton’s 2025 season begins with a home game against Carlisle (2-7 in 2024) on Aug. 29.
The Cardinals’ first-ever meeting against 4A defending state champion North Polk (130) comes in Week 2 on Sept. 5 in Alleman.
They play at Bondurant-Farrar (2-7) on Sept. 12 before hosting Indianola (5-4) on Sept. 19. Newton’s 4A District 4 slate begins with a home date against Oskaloosa (2-7) on Sept. 26. The Cardinals go to Pella (112) on Oct. 3, play at Clear Creek-Amana (6-4) on Oct. 10 and host Grinnell (6-3 in 3A) and Marion (2-7) in the final two weeks of the season on Oct. 17 and Oct. 24.
Newton, which finished 6-4 in 2024, faces Indianola for the first time since 2017.
Oskaloosa is back on the schedule for the first time since 2021, the Cardinals last played CCA in 2022 and faced Grinnell last in 2020.
PCM opens its 2025 season at home against Sigourney/Keota (7-2 in 1A) on Aug. 29 and then goes to Nevada (8-3 in 3A) on Sept. 5.
The Mustangs host Williamsburg (7-3 in 3A) on Sept. 12 before beginning 2A District 7 play on the road against Pella Christian (3-6 in 1A) and South Tama County (0-9 in 3A) on Sept. 19 and Sept. 26.
The Mustangs host Albia (45) on Oct. 3, go to Davis County (3-5) on Oct. 10 and host Centerville (4-5) on Oct. 17.
PCM defeated Sigourney/ Keota in each of the past two seasons and Nevada split its two contests with the Mustangs.
The Cubs have six straight seasons of six or more wins, while Williamsburg has posted 13 straight seasons of seven or more victories.
The Raiders and Mustangs will meet tor the first time since 2021. Williamsburg is 3-1 against PCM since 2014 and all four contests came in the playoffs.
“I think it’s a very competitive schedule, and I’m happy about that,” PCM head football coach Greg Bonnett said. “The one team of the non-district matchups which is somewhat of a surprise is Williamsburg. I know we put them down, but they did not put us down.”
Colfax-Mingo (1-7 last season) opens its 2025 season at Clarke on Aug. 29.
Its Class A District 6 schedule begins at home against BGM on Sept. 5 and then the Tigerhawks go to North Mahas-
ka for a district game against the Warhawks pm Sept. 12.
Colfax-Mingo’s second non-district game is at home against Central Decatur (2-6) on Sept. 19.
The Tigerhawks finish their season at Earlham (6-3) on Sept. 26, at home against Martensdale-St. Marys (0-8) and Lynnville-Sully (5-4) on Oct. 3 and Oct. 10 and at Madrid (9-3) on Oct. 17.
Colfax-Mingo is 4-2 against Clarke since 2010. The Indians have won two straight though and the two teams will play for the first time since 2021.
The Tigerhawks are 4-0 against Central Decatur. They are playing each other for the first time since 2021, too.
“I like our schedule the next two seasons,” Colfax-Mingo head football coach Drake Buscherfield said. “Lots of familiar faces from the SICL and tradi-
tionally good programs mixed throughout.
“It will be fun seeing new competition, too. Clarke and Central Decatur were our matched top choices so there wasn’t a surprise there. We should have some good, competitive matchups.”
Lynnville-Sully and Pleasantville (6-3 in 1A) have played every year since 2018. The Hawks and Trojans will open 2025 against each other on Aug. 29 in Sully.
The Hawks’ second district game will be played at Cardinal (0-8 in 1A) on Sept. 5. They have played twice since 2016.
Lynnville-Sully’s 1A District 6 schedule kicks off at Martensdale-St. Marys (0-8) on Sept. 12. The Hawks host BGM (4-5 in 8-man) on Sept. 19, play at North Mahaska (4-4) on Sept. 26, host Madrid (9-3) on Oct. 3, face Colfax-Mingo on Oct. 10 in
Colfax and play Earlham (6-3-) on Oct. 17 in Sully. Baxter (3-5) opens its 2025 season at home against rival Collins-Maxwell (5-4) on Aug. 29. The Bolts’ 8-man District 7 slate begins with back-to-back road games against Southeast Warren (6-3) and Melcher-Dallas (2-8) on Sept. 5 and Sept. 12. They also host Twin Cedars (09) on Sept. 19, face Wayne (5-4 in Class A) in Corydon on Sept. 26 and host Moravia (3-6) on Oct. 3.
Baxter’s final non-district game is Oct. 10 against Colo-NESCO (5-4) in Colo. It finalizes the regular season at home against Montezuma (102) on Oct. 17.
The Bolts’ schedule features five new teams, but Baxter has faced Collins-Maxwell and Colo-NESCO every year since 2018.
The Bolts have won four straight against the Spartans and are 5-2 since 2018. Colo-NESCO has won two in a row over Baxter, but the Bolts are 5-2 against the Royals since 2018.
“Collins-Maxwell and Colo-NESCO are our non-district games, and we both had each other written down so we anticipated seeing them on the schedule,” Baxter head football coach Zach Hasselbrink said. “We have played them for many years and with proximity it makes sense.
“I like starting out with a non-district game. The rivalry game with Collins-Maxwell in Week 1 will be fun for the boys. We also love being able to play Week 1 at home, but we have a tough schedule with some great teams in the district and two quality non-district opponents.”
The football schedules in 2026 for all five area programs are in the same order as 2025 but in opposite locations.
Those game dates are Aug. 28, Sept. 4, Sept. 11, Sept. 18, Sept. 25, Oct. 2, Oct. 9. and Oct. 16 for all five squads as well as Oct. 23 for Newton.
