Sanders defends
call to raise taxes
to fund health care
DES MOINES, Iowa
(AP) — Bernie Sanders
defended his call for
raising Americans’ taxes in
exchange for lower heath
care costs, as he opened a
candidate forum Monday
night that served as a
platform for Democratic
presidential hopefuls to
make a closing argument to
voters one week before the
Iowa caucuses.
“Yes, we will raise
taxes,” said Sanders, an
admission rarely heard in
presidential campaigns.
“We may raise taxes, but
we are going to eliminate
private health insurance
premiums for individuals
and businesses.”
Sanders would replace
the nation’s existing
employer-based system of
insurance with one in which
the government becomes a
“single payer,” providing
coverage to all. It would
eliminate co-pays and
deductibles, and Sanders’
argues, bring health care
spending under control.
A self-described
democratic socialist,
Sanders cast his governing
philosophy Monday as one

economic security should
exist.” But he sidestepped a
question about whether his
policies would mean an era
of big government.

WASHINGTON
(AP) — The nation’s
capital and its largest city
both got walloped by the
same near-record blizzard
this weekend. But while
Washington struggled to
recover, New York City was
mostly up and running on
Monday.
In the District of
Columbia, schools and
JRYHUQPHQWRI¿FHV
monuments and memorials
and museums were all shut
down on Monday. The
Metro had an extremely
reduced schedule, providing
free rides as a goodwill
gesture. Digging out
remained such a huge
challenge that Mayor Muriel
Bowser sought federal
disaster aid.
In New York, the subway
and schools were open, just
a day and a half after the

praised themselves for
getting this one right.
Expert: Escaped
California inmates
must have had
inside help
SANTA ANA, Calif.
(AP) — Three California
inmates who sawed through
a metal grate, crawled
through plumbing tunnels
and shimmied to freedom
down a rope made from
bed linens likely had help
to pull off the daring plan
DQGDOVREHQH¿WHGIURP
the complacency of jail
staff, security experts said
Monday.
The inmates vanished
early Friday in a jail break
eerily similar to the escape
of two inmates from an
upstate New York prison last
summer. Those men also cut
through a portion of wall
hidden under a bunk bed
and used piping and tunnels
inside the facility to reach
the outside.
The California inmates,
including one who is
charged with murder, were
still at large Monday. Jail

were missing until roughly
16 hours after they were last
seen because an evening
headcount was delayed by
an assault on a guard.
A major question for
investigators will be how
the men were able to plan
DQGH[HFXWHWKHLUÀLJKW
with such precision, said
Kevin Tamez, a managing
partner for MPM Group,
D3KLODGHOSKLDEDVHG¿UP
that consults on prison
security, management and
infrastructure.
It’s likely someone
slipped them blueprints or
told them how the bowels
of the jail were laid out, he
said.

NEWTON: Celebration of life with military honors will be held Wednesday
there were people in town
who wouldn’t let anyone but
him touch their motorcycle.
“He was good at what
he did, and he was proud of
that,” she said.
Newton was born in
southern California and
spent time there as a child
before moving to Hermiston
in time to play football for
Hermiston High School.
After graduation he joined
the Navy and spent a few
years stationed in Norfolk,
Virgina.
“He was a good-looking
guy in that uniform,” White
remembered.
He had four children,
who White said adored
him. She said he had been
separated from his wife
Terina Newton for the last

out of cellphone minutes
she used to call Terpening
because she knew they were
probably together.
“This may sound strange
to you, but I’m not angry
with Allan because he has a
long road to go,” she said.
White said the fact that he
would have to live with the
guilt of whatever happened
that night, and the loss of his
best friend, seemed enough
punishment to her and she
didn’t think her son would
want his friend to go to
prison.
Newton was one of those
people who “never knew
a stranger,” she said. She
said he took great pride in
his skill as a mechanic, and

made the decision to take
him off of life support on
Thursday evening, and he
died late Friday night.
A celebration of life with
military honors will be held
for Newton on Wednesday,
Jan. 27 at 11 a.m. at Burns
Mortuary chapel in Herm-
iston. A gathering for family
and friends will follow
at 1365 S. Highway 395,
Hermiston.
White said Newton did
not have life insurance,
and friends of the family
have created a GoFundMe
account at www.gofundme.

cremation expenses.

save Dechand, but he never
wanted to talk about what
happened that day.
Newton was the spitting
image of his late grandfather,
she said, and had the same
strong sense of humor.
“I miss his laugh. He had
a very hearty laugh,” she
said.
She said the family, espe-
cially Newton’s children,
KDYH KDG D GLI¿FXOW WLPH LQ
the days since Newton was
rushed to the hospital by his
daughter Shavon Newton,
who White said was present
when her father was injured.
White said her son Jeff
picked her up that night and
they rushed to the hospital in
Spokane at 4 a.m. Based on
the extent of brain damage
he had suffered the family
four years but they were still
on amicable terms with each

divorce. In 2009 the couple
agreed to be interviewed by
the East Oregonian about
their journey together in
overcoming a history of drug
abuse and domestic violence.
“Dave was a good guy, he
really was,” White said. “He
had his faults but he was a
good guy.”
In 2014 Newton was in
the news again after driving
Daniel Dechand, then 25, to
the hospital after Dechand
was shot in the chest by
Timothy Kelly in Newton’s
vehicle. A grand jury later
ruled the incident was
self-defense.
White said she knew
Newton did his best to try to
