COM Santorum to visit Clinton on Wednesday By Ben Jacobson Herald Staff Writer CLINTON Republican presidential candidate and former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum will try to woo Clinton voters this week, with a campaign stop at Happy Joe’s on Wednesday at 8 a.m. The Clinton visit will be part of a six-day tour of Iowa, a little over a month before the state hosts its caucus on Jan. 3. Santorum has invested heavily in building sup- port in Iowa, recently completing a tour of the state that took him to all 99 counties. The Clinton library hosted Santorum on Aug. 1, as he pushed for a win at the Iowa Straw Poll on!Aug. 13. He dis- cussed the importance of family values, and how having strong morals is essential to the federal government. “The foundation of our country is not the individ- ual,” Santorum said at the August event. “It is the family ...If we destroy that, America doesn’t sur- vive either.” Santorum finished fourth in the straw poll, and is currently polling seventh out of eight candi- dates according to Realclearpolitics.com’s RCP!average. A strong finish at the Iowa caucus can make or break a cam- paign, evidenced by now- president Barack Obama’s win at the 2008 Democratic Caucus. Following the 8 a.m. Clinton appearance, Santorum will visit the DeWitt Community Center at 10 a.m. for a similar “meet and greet”!event. She compared it to Gene Chizik, a former Iowa State football coach. She said that Chizik was mostly unsuc- cessful as an Iowa State coach, but won a national championship within two years of taking over as the head coach at Auburn University. Moore said that Chizik’s success is likely more to do with his improved recruiting base at the higher-profile foot- ball program than actual coaching ability. Conversely, current Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads wins less games than Chizik, but Moore believes he inspires his team to try for greatness. Similarly, teachers in more affluent areas or with historically superior academics may appear to be better on paper, but may not be superior to their Iowa counterparts. “Some of us are Paul Rhoads,”! she said. “Some of us are Gene Chizik.” Anti-union sentiment may have crept into the reform, according to Wolfe. ! The reform plan doesn’t specifically call for the dispersal of teach- ers’ unions, but the removal of collective bar- gaining elements would likely make them irrele- vant, Wolfe said. Job security would be significantly reduced through accountability reforms, which Wolfe said may make it more difficult to get individu- als to invest the time and energy to earn teaching certificates. “We would not have teachers’ unions in 10 years,” she said. “This takes away, really, any reason for them to exist.” However, Wolfe and Bowman stated that not every aspect of the reform plan should be ignored. Bowman said improving the teacher recruitment 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 the perceived negative ele- ments to focus on the positive may not be a possibility, according to Bowman. He said he believes that Gov. Branstad wants to pass the reform plan as is, potential warts and all. “(Gov. Branstad’s) going to have a hard time with legislators picking away at his plan,” Bowman said. Bowman and Wolfe said they would follow up with town hall atten- dees with a survey to get more input on the reform package. The reform package is believed by supporters to be the “blueprint” ! to restoring Iowa to educa- tion superiority. Gov. Branstad’s campaign was based in part on his promise to return a top ranking to Iowa schools, a distinction Iowa’s edu- cational system held dur- ing his previous adminis- trations. The blueprint guideline material states that the changes are necessary to keep Iowa students com- petitive, not only in local job markets, but interna- tionally as well. PLAN Story continued from 1A Gimenez terminated Reves’ employment at the Victory Center that day. Documents state that dur- ing a Wednesday afternoon interview with Foley, Reves admitted to using the inter- net to find, download and save images of children involved in prohibited acts. He surrendered a Lexor 2gb USB storage device to Foley, stating he used the device to store several hun- dred images of children in several stages of undress, the documents state. Foley used Forensic Recovery of Evidence Device and Forensic Tool Kit software to complete a forensic examination of the storage device on Thursday, locating thousands of delet- ed images of children under the age of 18 in different stages of undress; the device also contained eight images depicting children under the age of 18 involved in a prohibited sexual act, court records state. Foley met with Reves at 12:45 p.m. Thursday and provided him with copies of the eight known images of children in prohibited acts. Reves admitted to down- loading all of the images, documents state, and he was arrested and booked into the Clinton County Jail without incident. The eight counts of sexu- al exploitation of a minor that Reves is charged with are aggravated misde- meanors. These charges carry with them a maximum of two years in prison and between $625 and $6,250 in fines for each count. County Attorney Mike Wolf said due to the nature of these charges, other special sen- tences are included. If con- victed, after finishing what- ever prison sentence he was assigned, Reves would have to then complete 10 years of parole. He would be regis- tered as a sex offender dur- ing his parole and for anoth- er 10 years following the parole. Reves’ preliminary hear- ing is set for Friday. Wolf said Reves will not be appearing, but the trial information will be due to formalize the charges. CHARGES Story continued from 1A “If you build it, they will come,”!Olson joked. The committee will be chaired by Jeff Reed, a parent of two students in the district. Reed was cho- sen in part because his res- idence is not in any danger of being pushed into a new school boundary zone. The first meeting will take place Thursday at Clinton High School. Task force members will be given a demographic chart to help determine a fair distribution of students throughout the district. Stated goals of the task force will be to attempt an even split of students of varying socio-economic status and ethnicity, and to ensure students in each boundary zone have a safe route to school. In other action, the board: • Listened to a report on the potential impact of the Clinton board of review’s ongoing property tax dis- pute with Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) from district busi- ness manager Jan Culbertson. The dispute is ongoing, and only a partial settle- ment has been reached. ADM maintains that its cogeneration facility is a utility facility, and is therefore exempt from much of the property taxes being requested. The lowered stipulated settlement reduces ADMs property tax obligation by more than half, mean- ing that some of the com- pany’s first tax payment will have to be refunded, and the second payment may not be coming at all. The lowered property tax value on ADM’s cogeneration facility will cost the district $100,827 that was expected to be distributed in November, and a total of $761,000 for the year. However, Culbertson said the district will retain its spending authority, and may be eli- gible with outside aid to make up the deficit. However, it is possible that property taxes could be raised to help defray the effect of the lost fund- ing.
