Newton Hy-Vee celebrating 10 years in new location

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Serving the town for more than 60 years, Hy-Vee has become a well-known, reliable staple in Newton. The grocer will be celebrating its 10 year anniversary in its current location beginning the second week in September.

“Hy-Vee has been part of the Newton Community since Feb. 1, 1954 and has been in

its current location since September 2007,” store manager Scott Pearson said.

“We will be holding a 10 year anniversary sale the Pearson week of Sept.

11 with some incredible sales that will blow our customers away.”

Included in the sale are food samples inside and outside the store, carnival games for children, informational seminars on food and drinks, free product giveaways, gift card giveaways on Facebook, special visitors in the store and food and drink specials in the Market Grille Café just to name a few. The fall pumpkin patch will also be set up and ready for eager Halloween enthusiasts.

Bowlful of Blues to celebrate 25 years

“Mark it on your calendar to be at the Newton Hy-Vee the week of Sept. 11 and stay tuned for more information on our 10 year anniversary special,” Pearson said.

Hy-Vee has been a strong supporter of the community during its time in Newton. In the past year, it has donated to more than 100 organizations in excess of $30,000. The store has been proud sponsors of numerous local events, clubs

and organizations and offer discounts to local businesses.

The Newton Community School District has received donated meals for all Newton High School athletic banquets along with a $500 donation for a bus to take the NHS boys basketball team to the state tournament this year.

What’s in a name?

Partnership between the DNR and NHS students has the sweet smell of success

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News Thanks to a collaborative effort between the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and a group of Newton High School students, a local landmark is getting a new identity.

Earlier this year, Courtney Wolken’s AP Biology class filed to change the name of Sewer Creek to Cardinal Creek. This month, the application filed with the United States Geological Survey was approved, and new signs on Interstate 80 call attention to the creek’s new

nom de guerre.

The former Sewer Creek, which starts just west of Newton High School and meets South Skunk River near Highway 14 serves Newton’s wastewater treatment plant, which is where the original name came from. According to Steve Hopkins, the DNR’s on point source coordinator, several water sources in the state of Iowa are known as sewer creek, because originally that’s exactly what they were used for. Now only treated water from the plant is discharged into the creek, and Wolken’s class thought the original name smelled.

“I was hoping that it would go through, Sewer Creek doesn’t really sound like a fitting name for a body of water,” Wolken said. “We wanted something that had more of a positive take.”

Artists to hit the stage at the Maytag Bowl

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News A day-long music affair of Blues tunes is in order for next month. The 25th annual Bowlful of Blues is set for noon to 10 p.m. Sept. 3 at Maytag Park.

Members of the South Skunk Blues Society have worked tirelessly for the last year to find unique artists who will rock the stage at the Fred Maytag Bowl.

The society’s president Elaine Mattingly said members and volunteers know what’s required each year, and

they began working on this year’s event directly following 2016’s Bowlful of Blues.

“Our first step was to put together a list of things we wanted to improve on and what went well and what didn’t,” Mattingly said. “There were changes and tweaks made, and then the next step was scouting out new Blues acts we would like to consider to book.”

Mattingly said members of the society as well as volunteers toured Blues-inspired bands in the state of Iowa as well as nationwide.

“They will come back with

their experiences for us and the first piece is locking in our line up, which animates the rest of our planning,” Mattingly said.

Going forward, Mattingly said the rest of the work is a lot of communication and staying in touch with the bands. Mattingly said bands, as well as attendees, will be traveling to Newton nationwide.

One band performing is Dwayne Dopsie and the Zydeco Hellraisers from Lousiana.

Monster Mashups

Local artist’s unique creations are a hit at the fair

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News

David Dolmage/Daily News Samantha Jackson is surrounded by her “millennial monsters” on Wednesday in Newton. Jackson’s painting were chosen to be exhibited at the Iowa State Fair this year.

Samantha Jackson’s monster mashups have been a graveyard smash for the Newton native.

Jackson, whose series Millennial Monsters, which features classic horror stars reimagined in a modern setting was selected for exhibition at the Iowa State Fair this year.

The series, which features portraits of Frankenstein, the bride of Frankenstein, Wolfman, and Dracula is a love letter from Jackson to her favorite horror movies.

As she looked at pictures of the horror legends she reimagined them as millennials. The Wolfman sports a smart looking pair of glasses, gauge piercings in his ears with a full moon design, a

sculpted beard and to top off the look, a man bun.

Dracula sits in a movie theatre, a pair of 3-D glasses perched on his head.

At her sister-in-law’s urging, she decided to enter the art contest at the Iowa State Fair this year, and when her entries were accepted, she couldn’t believe it.

“I’ve dabbled in artwork forever, but I never thought I could do it for a career,” Jackson said.

In 2006, the International Astronomical Union declared that Pluto was no longer a full-fledged planet, demoting it to the status of a “dwarf planet.”

Ten years ago: A judge in Inverness, Florida, sentenced John Evander Couey to death for kidnapping 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford, raping her and burying her alive. (Couey died of natural causes in 2009.)

Drunken woman allegedly bites fisherman’s line ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla. (AP) — It wasn’t exactly the catch a Florida man was hoping for while fishing in the Atlantic Ocean. Instead, deputies say a drunken 22-year-old woman cursed at him before swimming up to his fishing line, biting it and swimming away with the rigging.

St. Johns County Sheriff ’s officials tell local news outlets the fisherman told deputies the incident happened Tuesday evening as he was fishing with a rented pole near St. Augustine.

Netflix loves to pick hits for each subscriber, but how?

NEW YORK (AP) — Netflix wants subscribers to know it’s looking out for them.

For instance, the average Netflix subscriber might never guess that its dark superhero drama “Jessica Jones” might strike similar chords as the zany hijinks of “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.” Netflix is happy to help you make the connection.

Much of the attention showered on this streaming-video giant in recent years has dwelled on its insatiable appetite for original content and for creators to produce it.

“We want to appeal to as many different people as possible, and appeal to the many moods that each person has,” says vice president of product innovation Todd Yellin. “The more diverse our content, the more likely that someone, at their moment of truth about what they’re going to watch, will choose to go to Netflix.”

But this service’s multibillion-dollar annual outlay for new programming necessitates another challenge: helping each program get discovered by the subscribers most likely to enjoy it. Four out of five of the shows watched on Netflix were found by its subscribers thanks to recommendations offered them, Netflix says.

AP Photo The streaming network’s multi-billion-dollar annual outlay for new programming necessitates another challenge: Matching each program with the subscribers who are likely to enjoy it. Netflix tags content, then identifies viewer habits.

Those suggested new favorites are much more customized for each subscriber than might be evident from a glance at the Netflix home page.

Most every row of program suggestions (even generic-seeming categories like “Comedies” and “Dramas”) is tailored for each subscriber, Yellin says.

And how the rows are arranged vertically on the home page is a function of the subscriber’s demonstrated genre preferences.

“You might have ‘Comedies’ as your fifth row,” says Yellin, “and for another person it might be 25th. And someone else might not get a comedy row at all.”

Comedian, civil rights activist Dick Gregory dies at 84 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Dick Gregory, the comedian and activist and who broke racial barriers in the 1960s and used his humor to spread messages of social justice and nutritional health, has died. He was 84.

Gregory died late Saturday in Washington, D.C. after being hospitalized for about a week, his son Christian Gregory told The Associated Press. He had suffered a severe bacterial infection.

“Years of severe fasting, not for health but for social change, had damaged his vasculature system long ago. He always reminded us, many of his fasts were not about his personal health but an attempt to heal the world,” Christian Gregory said.

“Condolences to his family and to us who won’t have his insight 2 lean on,” Whoopi Goldberg wrote on Twitter.

As one of the first black standup comedians to find success with white audiences, in the early 1960s, Gregory rose from an impoverished childhood in St. Louis to win a college track scholarship and become a celebrated satirist who deftly commented upon racial divisions at the dawn of the civil rights movement.

“Where else in the world but America,” he joked,

This year, Hy-Vee also donated the remaining funds that was needed for the show “We have given away a brand new Ford F-150 truck, $10,000 cash and more $15,000 in gift cards to customers just for using there Hy-Vee Fuel saver + Perks card,� Pearson said. “(We also)

Continued from Page 1A Students in Wolken’s class took an active interest in the project, organizing clean-up days to remove trash from the creek, and regularly testing water samples from the creek to check for pollution. They also wrote letters in support of the name change and brought attention to the project by presenting to the Newton City Council.

Hy-Vee also sponsors and supports dozens of community organizations and events including the Newton YMCA, Newton Booster Club, Thanks with Franks, Relay for Life, Boy Scouts of America, Newton Parks and Recreation, Newton Police and Fire Departments, Lion’s Club, Newton Public Library, American Legion, Jasper County Fair, Coaches vs Cancer, Knights of Columbus, Kiwanis, Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office and Jasper County Animal Rescue League.

Outside of Newton, HyVee sponsors and supports the communities of Lynnville, Sully, Baxter, Prairie City, Monroe, Colfax, Mingo and Reasnor. “The Newton Hy-Vee loves its customers and this community,� Pearson said. “We can’t wait for another great year in this community. Thank you to all of our customers, friends and family for making the Newton Hy-Vee your place to shop.�

calls and the hotels are getting lots of calls, and we want people to experience what Newton has to offer.�

Mattingly said the society’s membership doesn’t reflect the amount of people who play key roles at the festival. “You might expect us to have thousands of members, but still at the end of the day, we are a local membership with a couple hundred members and active volunteers,� Mattingly said. “This organization is a group of do-ers, and

they do a huge amount of work.�

Mattingly said she hopes the community will come and check out what the Blues bands have to offer. “Blues is a true American form and has never gone away,� Mattingly said. “It has been embraced mostly because it hits at the heart of everyone’s human experience, whether its in celebration or in trials and tribulation, people can relate to the music.�

Mattingly said the bands vary from a single artist with a guitar

to a 10-piece band with back up singers. “That keeps it exciting,� Mattingly said. “We are more than happy to carry the torch to say Blues music is alive — the reality out there is it is more vibrant than ever because of who’s touring.�

The event will also feature various food vendors, art vendors and a silent auction.

The gates open at 11 a.m., admission is $25 in advance or $30 at the gate. Admission is free for ages 15 and under if accompanied by a par-

ent. No pets allowed.

The South Skunk Blues Society is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preserving and cultivating Blues music.

The society promotes public performance opportunities for Blues

artists, and seeks to increase the exposure to and appreciation of Blues music by the general public.

“It was really neat to see students take the lead on this project,� Wolken said.

Partnerships like the one between NHS students and the DNR are an important resource for the DNR, which doesn’t have funding to monitor every water source in the state. The work done by students in Wolken’s class allows the DNR to keep tabs on creek, checking to make sure eroding banks and run-off from the high school’s parking

lot don’t become an issue. “Any work that they do is on a volunteer basis, and it gives us more information about the creek,� Hopkins said.

Going forward Wolken is hoping to continue to use the creek as a teaching tool. She’s planning on introducing the creek to students in her AP Biology class this week when school starts up again, and she has a whole list of suggestions for students looking to get involved.

“We want to do this long term, we want to figure out how students can restore the areas of the creek that need it,�

Wolken said. “We’re hoping that different projects can build off it like working on erosion control by installing native planting.�

For Hopkins, the creek project is also personal. Hopkins is a Newton native, and his children attend Newton

High School. He’s long advocated to change the name to something that’s more representative of the community, and Cardinal Creek seemed like the perfect fit.

It’s uncommon for the USGS to field name change requests, and in the case of Cardinal Creek, they requested students gather support from the community to show the change would have a positive impact.

According to Hopkins, the change is the only one that was approved in Iowa this year. Hopkins hopes the new name will increase the amount of attention the creek receives. “It’s about creating awareness about the creek,� Hopkins said. “By paying more attention and doing some local water monitoring, hopefully people will care more about it.�

Saying ‘yes’ to the dress T

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

wo years ago around this same time, I was writing a column about wedding dress shopping with my sister. I didn’t know then that my turn at “playing dress up” would be so close behind.

This past weekend, I had made my dress appointment and was ready to find the dress in which I would walk down the aisle. I have never been an overly picky person when it comes to fashion.

All of my previous dress shopping experiences were done in a day or less. I expected wedding dress shopping to be no different.

I was right and at the same time I wasn’t. It was the same in the sense it only took about an hour to select my dress, but it was entirely different than anything I had done before.

Let me go back for a second.

A few months after helping Trish find her dress, I met this guy named Tim. He became very important in my life and now we are planning our own wedding celebration.

As we dove further and further into planning, I knew picking the dress was an important step. I thought back to Trish’s experience dress shopping and used her as a guinea pig of sorts to help my appointment go smooth.

My dress shopping crew, aka my parents, sister and I, showed up a half hour early so we could browse the bridal showroom and pick out some styles I thought I might like. It was both helpful to have the time to look, yet it was stressful at the same time. I had an idea in mind about what I wanted, and as I

thumbed through the dresses, nothing really screamed “the one.” I had found a few I really liked but nothing like I pictured. One stood out the most, but it still wasn’t exactly perfect. Of course, I’m no expert, so I needed to try it on to be sure.

Moments before my stylist found me in the showroom, my Dad pointed out one he thought I might like. My first thought was, I had already looked at the dresses there, what could he have found that I missed? At first glance, I liked what I saw, but I didn’t get to fully inspect the dress as my stylist, Sean, called my name.

I showed her my selections, including the last one Dad had showed me.

Sean asked which dress I wanted to try on first. I went with my original No. 1 choice. It was a beautiful, ball gown with lots of satin and just a touch of lace. It was very Marilyn Monroe meets Cinderella. Judging by the look on my crew’s faces, they liked it too.

However, there were more dresses to try on, so back we went into the changing room. The second dress was the one

Dad picked. When she fanned it out, I had that moment I was waiting for. It was gorgeous. When I walked out of the room, I knew this would be my dress.

I tried on the remaining two I had selected, one scarily similar to Trish’s dress.

I guess as twins we share a similar taste.

They were both lovely but were never going to top the dress that had already won my heart.

I tried on “the” dress one last time and knew I had found the one I was looking for. I never thought my Dad would be the one who found my dress, but I’m so thankful he did.

It was an interesting feeling as I walked forward in my wedding gown. It was unlike anything I had experienced before. I was no longer the girl who never cared to wear dresses. I somehow morphed into this woman getting ready to marry the man she loves in this elegant dress. I hope Tim loves it as much as I did. I can’t wait to wear it next April!

I just turned 69, and I’m glad to report that life is fine. I’m married to the woman I love, Ginnie, we raise chickens on our little Empty Nest “Farm,” and I’m fulfilling my life’s dream of becoming a published author. In fact, I’ll be doing a book signing in Ottumwa from 7 to 8 p.m. Sept. 14, at The Vine Coffeehouse, 1207 N. Jefferson St. My book is called “Protected,” and it is about my experiences with God over a lifetime. Some of the stories are funny, some are subtle, and some are violent and vulgar, but they are all true. These are stories about how I believe God has opened doors in my life, gone ahead and cleared the path and “protected” me. Y’all come listen to me read a passage, and I’ll sign a book for you.

For my birthday, which was the end of July, Ginnie and I traveled north to Ashland, Wis. (God’s Country), to visit my brother. Ashland is on Lake Superior, which is the largest body of fresh water in the world. While there, we took a boat tour of the Apostle Islands. If you’re like me, you’re assuming they are called the Apostle Islands because there are 12 of them. You would be wrong. There are actually 22 islands in the grouping. Well, maybe the image of an Apostle was sighted on one of the islands. You would be wrong again. A French Monk living in a monastery on one of the islands long ago is about as close as we get to that phenomenon. So why are they called the Apostle Islands? No one knows. It’s a name lost to antiquity. But they are well worth seeing.

One of the islands is the antithesis of an Apostle.

It’s called Devil’s Island because the shoreline is riddled with caverns carved into sandstone by the action of wind and waves. It’s quite eery and beautiful at the same time, like the Fallen Angel Himself, perhaps. In the winter, these caverns are also a tourist draw because they form what are locally called “ice palaces.” People flock to these ice palaces to sightsee and get married. They cross the ice by snowmobile or even auto. I would think that would be a creepy way to start a marriage. The island is called Devil’s Island because the wind blowing through the caverns is said to be the cry of the Devil. Yikes!

The buildings in downtown Ashland (about the size of Mt. Pleasant) are quite handsomely decorated with hand painted murals — more than 30 of them. Ginnie and I had a good time on my birthday, roaming around, posing for pictures in front of these murals. Many of the murals depict a time in Ashland’s history, representing the shipping, logging, and fishing industries.

At about 2 in the afternoon, we decided lunch was in order. We found a little coffee house overlooking the lake. We were the only ones there. But there was a live musician playing the harp just for us. It was a special birthday treat.

Is 69 old? To some, like my son, it’s ancient. To others, like my brother who is 75, I’m still “wet behind the ears.” It’s all a matter of perspective. Ginnie’s father is 90, and in great health, physically and mentally. The way I feel at present, I believe I can attain that age also. It’s only 21 years away, not much time at all, God willing.

The secret to a long life, I think, is continually moving forward, learning and attempting new things. My first book is published, and I have already started my second. It’s going to be a book of short stories and essays. I have three of the stories written already. My first book will be going on Amazon and ebooks shortly.

No, I am not planning on publishing a book of Empty Nest columns. It would just be too easy. And as Tina Turner sings, “We never do nothing nice and easy.” Anyone can slap a series of columns together and call it a book. Maybe sometime in the future, but not right now. Maybe for a third book? Hmm. Contact Curt Swarm at 319-217-0526 or curtswarm@yahoo.com

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

It’s not about ‘white culture’ “I came to this march for the message that white European culture has a right to be here just like every other culture,” a white nationalist protester in Charlottesville told Newsweek. But, he claimed, he’s “not an angry racist.”

White nationalists often use this messaging. They claim they aren’t racists; they just want to celebrate white European culture and heritage.

What’s unreasonable about that, they say? Shouldn’t every group of people be allowed to celebrate their own culture?

There are two problems here.

One is historical baggage. History doesn’t have many examples of people innocently “celebrating white European culture,” but it does have an awful lot of examples of ugly and sometimes violent racism perpetrated by white people of European descent.

Slavery. Jim Crow. Lynchings.

Hitler.

That isn’t to say that Americans of European heritage don’t have a culture to celebrate. Not at all.

They just generally celebrate it based on national traditions and not in a generic, pan-white-people sort of way. You might celebrate Irish culture on St. Patrick’s Day, for example. Or you could celebrate French culture on Bastille Day with French wine and food.

In America, we celebrate the Fourth of July with fireworks and Thanksgiving with turkey. But these holidays are for all Americans, not just the white ones.

America has never been a white country. It was once entirely populated with Native Americans. Then the first Europeans arrived, and they soon brought the first enslaved Africans. All of those groups, as well as all of the people who followed later, con-

Another View Jill Richardson tributed to making our country and our culture what it is today.

Second, the goal of “celebrating white European culture” is a thinly veiled lie.

It’s a lie because the marchers were carrying Nazi flags, flags associated with the genocide of 6 million Jews and countless others the Nazis wanted to remove from humanity’s gene pool.

It’s a lie because the marchers were carrying Confederate battle flags, the flag of a people willing to fight to the death for their right to enslave other human beings.

It’s a lie because the marchers were marching alongside KKK members, whose organization have terrorized and murdered people in the name of white supremacy for over a century.

And it’s a lie because the people who are supposedly simply

celebrating their own lily white skin and its culture frequently and routinely make disgusting racist remarks about people of color.

And it doesn’t matter what the attendees or the organizers of the event claim they’re doing if the reality is an ugly outpouring of vile racism.

If your event looks like a Klan rally in which white pointy hoods were replaced with tiki torches, it’s no innocent cultural celebration. Period.

As a more general rule, if you have to work hard to tell others you aren’t a racist — you’re probably a racist. And if you’re marching behind the same flag as others who are spewing hate, your presence there is an endorsement of their hate, even if you aren’t saying those things yourself.

Don’t believe the lies of white nationalists who say they simply want to celebrate white culture.

There’s no way to march with KKK members and Nazi flags in a non-hateful way.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Evenings at home fall silent as wife embraces cellphone DEAR ABBY: A large portion of conversation in our home has been replaced with the time my wife spends on her cellphone. Not that she is talking on it. It’s games and Facebook that absorb hours of her time.

We used to spend evenings working on special projects together, but that is the exception now and no longer the rule. If I ask a question or make a comment, she answers, but we sit mostly in silence.

Must I accept this as the new norm that seems to have swept up everyone and wait for her to tire of this activity? I have gently mentioned my dismay, but when I did she became defensive and said it is HER time. Do you have any advice on how to cope with this? — MATTERING LESS IN MISSOURI DEAR MATTERING: Facebook and gaming can be so absorbing that when members sign on for “just a minute,” the next thing they know, two hours have flown by. I say this because it has happened to me.

Discuss this again with your wife, and this time tell her you miss the closeness you had when the two of you could share activities and that you are lonely. If she doesn’t realize that it is a red flag, the two of you may need professional mediation to reach a compromise, such as a scheduled date night.

If that doesn’t satisfy you, look for projects or hobbies you can share with other people with similar interests. You are not alone in having this problem. Taking evening classes might solve it in the short term.

DEAR ABBY: I am a gay man.

My boyfriend, “James,” and I have been together for nine years with a few time-outs. I’m 59; he’s 57. In many ways we have a great relation-

ship and care deeply for each other.

Our problem? We are in the same field of employment but work for different companies. He works fulltime in a highly stressful position, while I work 20 hours a week and have a great time doing it.

James earns twice what I do. I have no money put away for retirement because I don’t earn enough to save. James doesn’t like it. He wants someone who is his equal in saving money.

Obviously, our story isn’t as simple as it sounds. His therapist supports his feelings. Mine says: “In 2008, when everyone lost their pensions, you didn’t see a bunch of people filing for divorce, did you?

There are more important things than money.”

I don’t know what to do. I want to grow old with James. — MONEY WOES IN SAN FRANCISCO DEAR MONEY: You two need a different kind of mediation than two shrinks and an advice columnist. From where I sit, you would benefit from consulting a financial planner who can help you figure out if there’s a way to put away some money for a rainy day. If you include James when you do, it might also give him some insight.

1 Woman who died between lawn mower, air conditioner IDed

DUBUQUE — Authorities have released the name of a woman who died after becoming pinned between a lawn mower and an air conditioner in Dubuque.

The incident was reported around 1:40 p.m. Tuesday at a condominium complex near Kennedy Mall on the west side of town. Police Lt. Scott Baxter said Wednesday that 61-year-old Barbara Casey, of Dubuque, was mowing on an incline when her riding mower either rolled or was propelled back into the platform-mounted air conditioner.

Des Moines police release name of shooting victim DES MOINES — Authorities have released the name of a 19-year-old man who was fatally shot at a Des Moines convenience store.

Officers sent to the store around 10:10 p.m. Tuesday found Noah Campbell, of Des Moines. Police say he died later at a hospital. No arrests have been reported in what police say is the city’s 22nd homicide of the year.

AMES — Officials say a family foundation has committed $7 million to add classroom and other space for the Iowa State University College of Business in Ames.

The university says the Gerdin Charitable Foundation gift will help build an approximately 35,000-square-foot addition to the existing Gerdin Business Building.

Business dean David Spalding says the college has experienced a 30 percent increase in enrollment since August 2013, which has led to the hiring of more staff and the need for more space.

3 Pope Francis inspires Iowa church to use solar energy

NORWALK — Church leaders in central Iowa are turning to solar power for their buildings in an effort to aid the environment and save money.

The St. John the Apostle Catholic Church in Norwalk has more than 200 solar panels which the Rev. John Ludwig says saves them about $2,000 a year.

Church member Terry Dvorak founded Red Lion Renewables, a solar development firm. Dvorak gathered investors who contributed about $200,000 to purchase the panels.

Authorities say armed man apprehended in city building CEDAR RAPIDS — Cedar Rapids authorities have taken into custody without incident a man seen carrying a shotgun while entering a city building. City police spokesman Greg Buelow said no shots or injuries had been reported since the man entered the City Services Center around 10:40 a.m. Wednesday. The man’s name hasn’t been released. Police say it’s believed he intended to harm himself.

—The Associated Press

Artist Continued from Page 1A She admitted she’s been surprised by the overwhelmingly positive reaction her work has had, admitting that “they’re pretty out there.” Still, Jackson felt like she wanted to get the art out into the public to see what will happen.

“I’m not out to offend anyone, but whatever reaction people have, I’m OK with,” Jackson said.

Jackson, who often skipped

recess as child to work on art, has dabbled in painting for years but never seriously. After studying design and advertising at Iowa State University, she and her brother Scott Van Dusseldorp opened up their own business, Van Dee Inc., where she’s the director of creative services.

Starting with a digital image to hone her vision, Jackson doesn’t start working on canvas until she knows exactly what she wants the painting to look like. When Van Dusseldorp saw the first draft

of Frankenstein, the first image in the series, he couldn’t hold back his excitement.

“When she was doing the enlarged mock ups, I looked at it and told her, ‘I hate it, but you have to make it,’” Van Dusseldorp said.

For Van Dusseldorp, the artwork represents a bridge between those old horror movies and the culture that surrounds them in mainstream society. He’ll be the first to admit he prefers modern horror movies instead of the classics his sister adores,

but he’d be excited to see those classics remade for a new audience.

“When people see these, they just have to stand and stare, it’s very eye catching,” Van Dusseldorp said. “They want to know where these things came from.”

With plans to expand the series, Jackson said fans might soon see other old favorites like the creature and the phantom. She’s excited to have her artwork out where the public can see it, and she’s hoping interest will continue

to build. A website the siblings created, www.thesecretsocietee.com offers T-shirts, posters and prints of the images Jackson hopes will become iconic.

“I’m getting to do something that I really like, it’s the American Dream,” Jackson said. “You get a chance to work really hard and I don’t know if I’ll make it or not, but I’m having a lot of fun trying.”

2 cities in northeast Iowa consider fireworks restrictions

AP Photo In this July 17, 2012, file photo, JoAnn Zywicki sits by a photo of her daughter Tammy at her home in Ocala, Fla. Tammy, an Iowa college student, was abducted 25 years ago in Illinois and found dead in Missouri. Authorities on Tuesday issued an appeal a day before the 25th anniversary Tammy’s disappearance, with an FBI reward of up to $50,000 offered for information leading to any suspects.

FBI offers reward for help solving 25-year-old murder case LA SALLE, Ill. (AP) — Authorities sought the public’s help Tuesday in solving the slaying of an Iowa college student who was abducted 25 years ago in Illinois and found dead in Missouri.

Illinois State Police and the FBI issued the appeal a day before the 25th anniversary of 21-year-old Tammy Zywicki’s disappearance, with an FBI reward of up to $50,000 offered for information leading to any suspects.

Authorities say Zywicki was driving from her New Jersey home to Iowa’s Grinnell Col-

lege for her senior year when she was last seen alive on Aug. 23, 1992, near her disabled 1985 Pontiac T1000 along Interstate 80 near LaSalle in central Illinois. Her stabbed body was found more than a week later wrapped in a blanket wrapped with duct tape in southwestern Missouri east of Joplin.

A passer-by reported catching the last glimpses of Zywicki near her disabled car.

Some witnesses said a tractor-trailer was seen parked behind her vehicle; others say they saw a pickup truck.

After her body was found, Illinois State Police joined forces with the FBI and other agencies in a task force, but it disbanded the next year.

On Tuesday, Illinois and federal investigators called the investigation still active.

Over the past two decades, efforts to crack the case have sputtered.

Investigators looked at truckers suspected in killings and sexual attacks elsewhere, from North Carolina to California, but eventually eliminated them from suspicion in Zywicki’s death.

CEDAR FALLS (AP) — Officials of two cities in northeastern Iowa are struggling to establish fireworks policies amid calls for increased restrictions after a noisy Fourth of July.

The Cedar Falls City Council on Monday voted against drafting an ordinance to ban fireworks and sent the matter back to committee for more discussion.

Some residents expressed concern about the noise and debris fireworks leave, while others said restricting them is unnecessary.

Steve Wikert, a local educator and Vietnam veteran, said he dropped to the ground after hearing fireworks set off near his home.

“I honest to God felt like I was back in Vietnam,” he said. “Fireworks are dangerous to our citizens, psychologically hurtful to our veterans and just an incredible annoyance to many others, including pets.”

But another local veteran and businessman Greg Saul said everyone should be free to discharge fireworks.

“I can jump more from a lighting strike than fireworks,” Saul said. “I

support fireworks, and I think 80 percent of the veterans do. Let freedom ring, and let Cedar Falls celebrate, like most of the rest of the country, the Fourth of July.”

The Waterloo City Council Public Safety Subcommittee narrowly endorsed a proposal to limit fireworks usage from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. on July 4, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reported . The ordinance still needs to go before the full council for a vote.

Waterloo Police Department Chief Dan Trelka says he hopes cities in the area take similar approaches to regulating fireworks.

“I would like to see continuity between Waterloo, Cedar Falls and Evansdale; that would certainly aid in enforcement,” he said.

This year was the first time in 80 years that the sale and use of fireworks was permitted in the state.

Residents can set off fireworks on private property from June 1 through July 8 and from Dec. 10 through Jan. 3, but cities can adopt more restrictive approaches.

Iowa widow hopes to get family’s health insurance extended ROCKWELL CITY (AP) — The wife of an Iowa police officer killed during a 2013 standoff is calling for changes to local and state laws to ensure children can continue receiving health insurance after a parent dies.

Amanda Buenting recently discovered that the insurance provided by the city to her husband, Jamie Buenting, will no longer cover her family.

“I am asking as a community to

band together, stand up for what’s right,” she said. “Stand up for this community, for the state, and for the men and women in blue who have given their lives in the line of duty.”

Jamie Buenting died from a gunshot wound while serving as an officer with the Rockwell City Police Department. He worked at the police department for eight years and had been in law enforcement since 1999.

Iowa GOP leader accused of stalking, threatening ex-fiancée IOWA CITY (AP) — An Iowa Republican Party leader who is running for state treasurer has been ordered to stay away from his ex-fiancée after allegedly threatening her and admittedly using her iTunes account’s “Find iPhone” app to track her whereabouts.

A judge this month granted a temporary restraining order against former U.S. Army captain John Thomp-

son, one of 16 members of the Iowa Republican Party central committee and the party’s only candidate so far challenging State Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald in 2018.

Thompson denied wrongdoing Tuesday and said the allegations were meant to harm him politically.

His former fiancée and campaign treasurer, Republican activist MacKen-

zie Dreeszen, alleged in an Aug. 2 legal petition that she feared for her physical safety after Thompson harassed and threatened her and her sister on multiple occasions from mid-July to early August.

In one July 23 incident, Dreeszen’s mother called police after receiving a text message from Dreeszen saying she was at Thompson’s home in Jefferson and that he was

threatening her and wouldn’t let her leave. An officer went to the home to investigate, and Dreeszen left with the officer. No charges were filed, and Thompson said the two had only been arguing.

Dreeszen, 25, wrote in her petition that Thompson “tracked my location using iTunes, locked my phone and threatened me” on July 16.

Thompson acknowledged

to The Associated Press on Tuesday that he logged into her account and put her phone in lost mode “so I could figure out where she was at.” But he said he did so only because he was concerned for her safety after she didn’t show up for a planned meeting without explanation.

He said he learned she had misled him about her whereabouts.

Cardinals begin season at Ottumwa

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Team goals are discussed before every season. Newton High head football coach Ed Ergenbright sits down with Pregame each class and with the en- Outlook tire team and talks about what the players want for the season.

“This senior class wants to become a great team. This team wants to become a great team,” Ergenbright said. “To become a great team, we have to do things people don’t think you can do. For us that is beat teams like Fort Dodge, Southeast Polk or Valley.”

Newton has 23 seniors on its 2017 football team. Ergenbright pointed out most of those seniors have a lot of varsity experience after having starting roles or first sub roles since they were sophomores.

Before the Cardinals get to Class 4A District play where they take on Fort Dodge, Southeast Polk, West Des Moines Valley, Marshalltown and Indianola, they have to prove themselves in non-district play. Work on being better than a 6-3 mark of a year ago and being a great team begins Friday on the road for the Cardinals.

Newton plays Ottumwa at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Schafer Stadium in Ottumwa. Schafer Stadium has undergone renovations including a new artificial turf field. The freshman

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s defense wrapped up the Ottumwa offense all night during last year’s game at Newton. Jaise Gulling sacks Ottumwa quarterback Addison Coram (12) early in the contest. Gulling and the Cardinals open the 2017 season Friday at Ottumwa.

game is at 4:45 p.m.

“They want to do something special this season. They want to make the 4A playoffs. To reach those goals it takes getting off to a good start. We’re on the road against very competitive opponents the first two games,” Ergenbright said.

The Cardinals rolled to a 42-6 win over the Bulldogs last year, leading 28-0 at one

time. The Bulldogs went 0-9 in their 2016 season and have a 10-game losing streak.

“Our focus this week has been on executing our basic offense and defense. We threw a lot at our guys with some new things on both sides of the ball finding out what works for our personnel,” Ergenbright said. “We’re looking to establish the run game then

pass off of that because if you can run the football, you’re going to be successful.”

The Cardinals racked up 2,472 yards rushing last year, averaging 5.8 yards a carry.

The running game put up 30 touchdowns. Newton had 731 yards in the passing game and five touchdowns.

“We want to move the ball on the ground. We’ve add-

ed some new power-running plays to our basic gun-rocket offense. They fit well into the scheme we use,” Ergenbright said. “We believe we have the guys who can run the ball.”

Ottumwa has 11 seniors on its roster. The Bulldogs lost a preseason scrimmage, 6-3, a week ago to Mount Pleasant.

Lynnville-Sully kicks off 2017 season at SICL rival Colfax-Mingo

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News While the Colfax-Mingo football team was opening its season against Class 2A Saydel last Friday, Lynnville-Sully was taking part in an intrasquad scrimmage on its home field.

Hawk head coach Mike Parkinson admitted that his team going head-to-head against each other is not as beneficial as playing an opponent in a real game, but Parkinson still believes the Hawks’ season opener against the Tigerhawks will come down to execution.

“If they come out of that game healthy, it’s definitely good for them,” Parkinson said. “At the other end, you can’t emulate game speed in a scrimmage like we did. We pretty much treated our scrimmage like a game, but it’s just not the same thing. It will come down to execution like it always does.”

Area Prep Football Game Previews The Tigerhawks (0-1) host their South Iowa Cedar League rival in a non-district game at 7 p.m. Friday in Colfax. Colfax-Mingo dominated the Hawks, 40-15, two seasons ago, but Lynnville-Sully won 56-0 in 2016.

It will be a different look offensively from Colfax-Mingo, which rushed for 223 yards against the Eagles in a season-opening loss last week. Junior Damir Gumerov totaled 149 yards and two scores on his 23 carries. Running the ball in the Tigerhawks’ spread offense is crucial to their success.

“Lynnville-Sully was able to just blitz us and come at us last year because we couldn’t run the ball,” Lietz said. “I don’t think that happens to us a lot this season. Hopefully we’ll have success both on the ground and through the air.”

Parkinson saw a different team in Colfax-Mingo (0-1)

License plates, state fair and some golf I

can’t believe all of the fuss we Iowans made about license plates recently.

When the three finalists for the license plates were announced, folks who think they know a little something about art made sure there opinions were known. Some even sent personal attacks to the woman who designed the plates.

That is ridiculous.

It’s a license plate folks. How many times have you actually admired your plate once you put in on your vehicle?

I can say without hesitation that I haven’t spent a single second worrying about how the plate on my car looked.

It’s just a license plate.

I am not discrediting art. I am not saying I don’t care about how things

on film than his team faced in last year’s season opener.

“They ran the ball quite a bit more in that first game,” Parkinson said. “This year, more than last year, they’ll make us defend the whole field. We’ll have to go sideline to sideline.”

Parkinson welcomes back a slew of returning starters from a squad which finished 8-2 a season ago. They won their first eight games before losing to Montezuma in the district and regular season finale. The Hawks’ season ended with a 13-6 road loss to eventual Class A champion Gladbrook-Reinbeck in the opening round of the playoffs.

Lynnville-Sully brings back one of its two quarterbacks who started multiple games last year, its three top rushers and two of Troy Hyde/Daily News its top three receivers.

Lynnville-Sully senior Sage Zylstra (40) returns to the Hawk football PREVIEWS | 2B

This & That Troy Hyde look. But to personally attack the artist responsible for the plates is going too far.

The state of Iowa should have came out right away and explained the situation better. The artist really had limited options. She had to keep the middle of all three plates clean because the letters and numbers have to been seen clearly.

The plate I liked best, the red, white and blue option, was not the most popular selection. But it’s cool. I will put whatever plate I am given on my car and go about my day. It’s not worth the fuss really.

Another popular topic recently was the solar eclipse that took place Monday.

I may have been the only person in the world who was really indifferent about it.

Stuff like that doesn’t get my juices going. I won’t bash anyone who enjoys it. It doesn’t bother me if you

team after leading the squad in rushing in 2016. Zylstra also is the team’s top returning tackler from last year.

drove 200 miles to get a better look at the “totality.” It’s just not something that takes priority in my life. Maybe the next time it comes around, and my daughter is a little older, that will change.

Besides, I didn’t really need to buy the glasses and spend hours looking into the sky. All I had to do was check my social media feeds as all my friends and followers were posting pictures all afternoon.

Did you make it to the Iowa State Fair this year? Everyone else did. The annual event set a new attendance record in 2017. The weather cooperated, which always helps.

The wife and I were able to get in a few hours this year before we attended a concert at the grandstand. That’s all we need. It’s about the time it takes us to walk through the buildings we enjoy and grab something to eat at one of the what seems like thousands of food vendors.

The Solheim Cup was a big success for Central Iowa. The event also set an attendance record for this past weekend.

I’ll be honest, I had no idea what the

Solheim Cup even was before it was announced that Des Moines was getting the event. It sounds like I wasn’t alone.

Other media members hinted that it was kind of one of the best kept secrets around Iowa. There wasn’t a ton of talk outside of the media promoting the event, which is the women’s golf version of the Ryder Cup. I didn’t have conversations with anyone about them being interesting in it.

That didn’t stop large crowds from walking the fareways at the Des Moines Golf and Country Club all weekend. And the Americans won, which is always a good thing.

I’ll leave you with one final thing.

Before you turn on your computer to attack a human being for doing something you didn’t like or don’t approve on, take a step back and reconsider your actions.

There is plenty of hate going around in this country right now. We all could use a little love once in a while. Most of the time it’s just not worth the fuss anyway.

MLB to have fan behavior policy for 2018 DETROIT (AP) — Commissioner Rob Manfred says Major League Baseball plans to issue a policy on fan behavior for all ballparks next season.

Manfred spoke while visiting Comerica Park before Detroit hosted the Yankees.

Manfred said he didn’t want to talk about the details of what will be in the code of conduct for spectators.

Individual teams have their own policies governing fan behavior, and those rules often are posted on the scoreboard or announced over the public-address system.

Earlier this season, the Boston Red Sox later banned a fan for life after he used a racial slur while talking to another man.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Establishing the run is a priority for the Newton High Cardinal offense going into Friday’s season opener at Ottumwa. The offensive unit is guided by senior quarterback Garrett Sturtz, who is handing the ball off to senior tailback Josh Miravalles behind a line of blockers.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B The Bulldogs’ leading rusher back is junior Sam Yeaway, who rushed for 154 yards on 30 carries. Ottumwa had 773 yards rushing and 497 yards passing as a team in 2016.

“Ottumwa struggled last year, but they’ve changed both their offense and defense. We’ve been practicing to go up against their pro-set offense and a 4-3 defense,” Ergrenbright said.

“Now, once you get into the game things can change so you make adjustments.”

Newton has enough depth to two-platoon so players only play on one side of the football — offense or defense not both.

Ergenbright said to be able to do the two-platoon system was something Newton was able to do last year and is beneficial to the players not having to go both ways.

Senior Jaron Roush is the one player for the Cardinals who will see double duty. Roush is a starting wing back on offense and is a two-year starter at cornerback on defense.

Ottumwa’s senior Addison Coram and junior Eli McDanel are the leading candidates for the starting quarterback position. Coram was the starter a year ago against Newton. He finished the season at 23-of77 passing for 259 yards with

one TD and five interceptions.

McDanel was 26-of-73 passing for 212 yards and seven interceptions.

Defensively, the Bulldogs have senior Joey Mitchell and junior Bryan Cordova at the linebacker spots and Yeaway as a defensive back. Mitchell had 48 solo tackles and 16 assisted tackles a year ago. Yeaway had 31 solos and seven assisted tackles. The Bulldog defense had 16 takeaways last year — six interceptions and 10 fumble recoveries.

“They are trying to come up with something which will work for them. I think they are on the right track,” Ergenbright said of Ottumwa.

Running the Newton gun-rocket offense for the third straight season is senior quarterback Garrett Sturtz, who is 6-foot-3 inches and 165 pounds. Ergenbright said Sturtz does a really great job making the decisions for the Cardinal offense.

In the Cardinal offensive backfield, three seniors are tapped as the starting running backs. At the tailback spot is the 5-foot-7, 175-pound Josh Miravalles. Roush, who is 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds, and Carson Cazett, who is 5-foot10 and 165, are the wing backs.

Junior Josh Miller (5-foot-11, 180) is the back up tailback, but also can rotate into the wing back spots.

Newton returns its top receiver in senior split end Trevor Ergenbright (5-foot-9, 150).

Junior Jacob Murphy, who is 6-foot-2, 185 pounds, is the starting tight end.

Up front along the offensive line are two seniors, two juniors and a sophomore. Benny Cheng, a 6-foot, 205-pound senior, returns as center. The guards are senior Jace Lukefahr (6-foot-1, 235) and junior Ben Peterson (6-foot-1, 285) and the tackles are junior Ike Bebout (6-foot-3, 247) and sophomore Gage Linahon (6foot, 235).

Turning to the defensive front, the Cardinals will go with 6-foot-1, 280-pound senior Landon Hansen at nose guard with juniors Austin Romberg (6-foot-1, 205) and Mason Lee (5-foot-10, 195) at the starting defensive ends.

Senior Jaden King (5-foot-11, 205) will rotate in at the defensive end spots.

The linebacker corps has three returning starters and a seasoned senior. On the outside will be 6-foot, 200-pound senior Blayden Rhone and 6-foot-2, 185-pound senior Grant Garvis, who missed most of his junior season with a broken leg. Filling the inside linebacker positions are senior Joe Busch (5-foot-10, 185) and junior Jaise Gulling (6-foot, 220).

“We’re really happy with our

Previews Continued from Page 1B The Hawks will have a new-look offensive line featuring juniors Rylan James and Grant Wehrle and seniors Jesse Van Wyk, Kemper Lukehart and Aaron Van Der Krol.

“We just hope to do what we do on that side of the ball,” Parkinson said. “We have spent a lot of time this preseason refining things, and we’ll try to focus on what we did well last year.”

The Tigerhawks did a admirable job slowing down Saydel’s running attack, but quarterback TJ Stephenson made some plays through the air, including a 67 yard pass play that set up a short touchdown.

Lynnville-Sully’s offense will be a similar challenge because they have several weapons to keep you guessing.

“We will try to get them out of their best five plays, but they have some weapons,” Lietz said. “They had a three-headed monster in the running game last year. It will be tough to slow them down.”

The Hawks’ defense graduated their top two tacklers and another player who led the team in sacks is not out this season. That forced Parkinson to move some kids around, but he still feels good about his defense.

“It’s coming together,” Parkinson said. “We have a lot of guys back, and I felt like we had a lot of depth last year.”

defensive front and our linebackers. I think the strength of our defense is our backfield with four experienced starters,” Ergenbright said. “We have good size in the secondary. We just have to come together as a unit.”

Roush and 6-foot-2, 165-pound senior Grayson Graham return as starting cornerbacks with senior Kamden Kuennen (5-foot-8, 150) rotating into spell Roush, who plays offense also. Leading the group is 6-foot-2, 170-pound senior free safety Zach Combs. Junior Aaron Bartels (6-foot-1, 175) is the strong safety.

Combs is back as Newton’s placekicker and Sturtz is the Cardinal punter. Senior Evan Walker (5-foot-11, 235) is the long snapper and is expected to rotate in along the offensive line.

“We have pretty good depth in almost every position on offense and defense. It’s great to be able to rotate people in and keep fresh players on the field,” Ergenbright said.

“What I’m looking for this week is a win, but just as important is how our kids respond playing on the road.

Also, I want them to respond in being tough physically and mentally. Now, it’s just about going and playing a game.”

Pella Christian was hit hard by graudation. The Eagles graduated all-staters at quarterback and receiver along wthe their four top rushers, four of their top five receivers and six of their seven leading tacklers, Baxter at West Central, 7 p.m.

The Bolts begin their 8-player era with a road game against a West Central team which went 0-9 in 2016.

Baxter will travel 129 miles one way to Maynard to face a Blue Devils squad who graduated their starting quarterback, three of their four top receivers and three of their four top tacklers.

The top returner for West Central is Collin Kime. Kime led the Blue Devils with 922 rushing yards and five touchdowns. He had a team-high 25 catches for 351 yards and two scores as a receiver.

Kime is the top returning tackler, too. He had 45 tackles and a team-high four sacks in 2016.

Baxter’s best player is junior linemen Will Clapper, who earned second team allstate honors as a 2A offensive linemen last year.

Other players expected to make a big impact for the Bolts in their first 8-player season is senior quarterback/ linebacker Braydon Aker as well as seniors Travis Lindemoen, Marcus Mitchell and Devin Carson and sophomore Cole Damman.

The Bolts have a full ninegame schedule but will operate as an independent in 2017 and cannot play in the postseason.

Skiff love story Cancer clinic patient leads Skiff nurse to fiancé

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News

Kayla Langmaid/Daily News Connor Ringgenberg, 28, and Olivia Harper, 24, met at Skiff Medical Center after Harper was a nurse to Ringgenberg’s grandmother at the cancer clinic. The two were set up on a blind date by Ringgenberg’s family in 2015. The couple is set to be wed in May of 2018.

Love is sometimes found in the most unlikely of places. A nurse at Skiff Medical Center was in for a surprise when a patient in the cancer clinic led her to her now fiancé.

Olivia Harper, 24, of Montezuma, began her position at the cancer clinic two years ago.

Harper said her daily routine consisted of driving to work in Newton, driving to the grocery store and then driving home.

When Harper was tending to an elderly

woman in the clinic she got to meet many of her family members except for her grandson 28 -yearold Connor Ringgenberg.

Harper said she and the Ringgenberg family just clicked.

“His grandmother was so sweet and they have a really close knit family, and so I met all of them and I never met Connor,” Harper said.

“Then his mom suggested that I meet Connor.”

Harper said they were set up on a blind date but their phone numbers were exchanged.

She said she had spoken to Connor on the phone

for several weeks prior to meeting him.

As Harper wasn’t from the Newton area, the hospital was the local landmark she was most familiar with, so that is where Ringgenberg picked her up on their first date.

“The first time we ever met was in the parking lot right here at Skiff,” Harper said. “It was a fun date and we got along really well — we went to La Cabana.”

The two hit it off and continued dating. It wasn’t unusual, Harper said, for Ringgenberg to stop by the hospital to visit and drop off snacks for her, or to pick her up for a date right after she LOVE STORY | 3C

Dirt Dreamin’ Racing is a family business at Newton track

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News At dusk, you can see the lights a mile away down the dusty gravel road. If you roll your window down you’ll be able to hear the engines screaming as they accelerate down the front straight.

The competition on the track might be tough, but it’s the bonds they share in the pits that keep racers coming back to the Newton Kart Club.

The track, modeled after the famed Knoxville Raceway is where thousands of Iowans have gotten their introduction to dirt track racing. Known as one of the oldest and fast-

est tracks in the Midwest, the banked dirt oval just south of Newton is a dirt racer’s dream.

For track announcer Jason Webster, there’s no place he’d rather be. From inside his booth perched on top of the front straight Webster’s got the best seat in the house. He calls every race at the track, leaned forward to catch all the action, a cigar dangling between his fingers. If it feels like his announcing style has a personal touch, it’s because he knows everyone at the track.

The de facto historian at the Newton Kart Club, Webster is a constant fixture at the track, a steadying presence with a ready smile and a greeting for

ready half full at dusk, is the place where dreams are born.

Tony Stewart ran here, back before he was a household name. So did Cedar Rapids native Landon Cassill. The ranks of the sprint car drivers at the Knoxville Nationals are full of guys who got their start in Newton.

“It’s a good stepping stone.

It’s set up a lot like Knoxville,” Webster said. “They learn how to go fast here.”

Webster, a barber at E-Clips in Newton, grew up in Newton, and he’s been here most of his life. When he was 10, his dad brought him out to the track for the first time and by the end of the first year he was lining up at the start, ready to race.

“It’s the kids, the atmosphere, you’ve been here for an hour, don’t you love it?”

Webster asks as his eyes scan the track.

He sold his kart last year to buy his daughter Lily, 10, her own kart. Together they work on the kart after Lily gets out of school. They clean the wheel bearings and inspect them every week, and prep the tires and clean the kart. Webster’s goal is that every time the kart heads on the track it looks like new. Working on the kart is their time together.

“That’s very important, the bond,” Webster said. “You spend a lot of time together, even if you might want to kill each other sometimes.”

Webster’s family is always at the races with him, but as he walks around the track, it’s easy to see that everyone is his family. He’s known most of KART CLUB | 8C

D&D program moving into next phase

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News In three short years, the Dangerous and Dilapidated program has made its mark on the city of Newton and the work isn’t done yet. Addressing more than 50 properties, the program has not only cleared out structures that were no longer fit for inhabitance, but also brought new construction to the city through several development projects.

“The D&D program is about a 30 years old program, so it is not new to Newton,” director of planning and zoning Erin Chambers said. “It was established by former building official Mike Jones in the 1980s and has led to a lot of great success of Newton’s history.”

The program was restarted in 2014

when the Newton City Council made addressing dilapidated structures a priority in Newton’s Future: A Comprehensive Plan. In the plan, the council included several objectives it would like to accomplish in the city. Among the objectives were to grow Newton’s population, specifically targeting young families, increase employment opportunities, improve the city’s curb appeal, fill vacant buildings and increase local shopping options and address dilapidated structures through requiring up-keep by property owners or demolition of buildings beyond repair.

To address properties the city uses three tools including a notice and order issued by Newton building official to private owners, a D&D acquisition D&D | 3C

MLB to have fan behavior policy for 2018 DETROIT (AP) — Commissioner Rob Manfred says Major League Baseball plans to issue a policy on fan behavior for all ballparks next season.

Manfred spoke while visiting Comerica Park before Detroit hosted the Yankees.

Manfred said he didn’t want to talk about the details of what will be in the code of conduct for spectators.

Individual teams have their own policies governing fan behavior, and those rules often are posted on the scoreboard or announced over the public-address system.

Earlier this season, the Boston Red Sox later banned a fan for life after he used a racial slur while talking to another man.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Establishing the run is a priority for the Newton High Cardinal offense going into Friday’s season opener at Ottumwa. The offensive unit is guided by senior quarterback Garrett Sturtz, who is handing the ball off to senior tailback Josh Miravalles behind a line of blockers.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B The Bulldogs’ leading rusher back is junior Sam Yeaway, who rushed for 154 yards on 30 carries. Ottumwa had 773 yards rushing and 497 yards passing as a team in 2016.

“Ottumwa struggled last year, but they’ve changed both their offense and defense. We’ve been practicing to go up against their pro-set offense and a 4-3 defense,” Ergrenbright said.

“Now, once you get into the game things can change so you make adjustments.”

Newton has enough depth to two-platoon so players only play on one side of the football — offense or defense not both.

Ergenbright said to be able to do the two-platoon system was something Newton was able to do last year and is beneficial to the players not having to go both ways.

Senior Jaron Roush is the one player for the Cardinals who will see double duty. Roush is a starting wing back on offense and is a two-year starter at cornerback on defense.

Ottumwa’s senior Addison Coram and junior Eli McDanel are the leading candidates for the starting quarterback position. Coram was the starter a year ago against Newton. He finished the season at 23-of77 passing for 259 yards with

one TD and five interceptions.

McDanel was 26-of-73 passing for 212 yards and seven interceptions.

Defensively, the Bulldogs have senior Joey Mitchell and junior Bryan Cordova at the linebacker spots and Yeaway as a defensive back. Mitchell had 48 solo tackles and 16 assisted tackles a year ago. Yeaway had 31 solos and seven assisted tackles. The Bulldog defense had 16 takeaways last year — six interceptions and 10 fumble recoveries.

“They are trying to come up with something which will work for them. I think they are on the right track,” Ergenbright said of Ottumwa.

Running the Newton gun-rocket offense for the third straight season is senior quarterback Garrett Sturtz, who is 6-foot-3 inches and 165 pounds. Ergenbright said Sturtz does a really great job making the decisions for the Cardinal offense.

In the Cardinal offensive backfield, three seniors are tapped as the starting running backs. At the tailback spot is the 5-foot-7, 175-pound Josh Miravalles. Roush, who is 5-foot-10 and 175 pounds, and Carson Cazett, who is 5-foot10 and 165, are the wing backs.

Junior Josh Miller (5-foot-11, 180) is the back up tailback, but also can rotate into the wing back spots.

Newton returns its top receiver in senior split end Trevor Ergenbright (5-foot-9, 150).

Junior Jacob Murphy, who is 6-foot-2, 185 pounds, is the starting tight end.

Up front along the offensive line are two seniors, two juniors and a sophomore. Benny Cheng, a 6-foot, 205-pound senior, returns as center. The guards are senior Jace Lukefahr (6-foot-1, 235) and junior Ben Peterson (6-foot-1, 285) and the tackles are junior Ike Bebout (6-foot-3, 247) and sophomore Gage Linahon (6foot, 235).

Turning to the defensive front, the Cardinals will go with 6-foot-1, 280-pound senior Landon Hansen at nose guard with juniors Austin Romberg (6-foot-1, 205) and Mason Lee (5-foot-10, 195) at the starting defensive ends.

Senior Jaden King (5-foot-11, 205) will rotate in at the defensive end spots.

The linebacker corps has three returning starters and a seasoned senior. On the outside will be 6-foot, 200-pound senior Blayden Rhone and 6-foot-2, 185-pound senior Grant Garvis, who missed most of his junior season with a broken leg. Filling the inside linebacker positions are senior Joe Busch (5-foot-10, 185) and junior Jaise Gulling (6-foot, 220).

“We’re really happy with our

Previews Continued from Page 1B The Hawks will have a new-look offensive line featuring juniors Rylan James and Grant Wehrle and seniors Jesse Van Wyk, Kemper Lukehart and Aaron Van Der Krol.

“We just hope to do what we do on that side of the ball,” Parkinson said. “We have spent a lot of time this preseason refining things, and we’ll try to focus on what we did well last year.”

The Tigerhawks did a admirable job slowing down Saydel’s running attack, but quarterback TJ Stephenson made some plays through the air, including a 67 yard pass play that set up a short touchdown.

Lynnville-Sully’s offense will be a similar challenge because they have several weapons to keep you guessing.

“We will try to get them out of their best five plays, but they have some weapons,” Lietz said. “They had a three-headed monster in the running game last year. It will be tough to slow them down.”

The Hawks’ defense graduated their top two tacklers and another player who led the team in sacks is not out this season. That forced Parkinson to move some kids around, but he still feels good about his defense.

“It’s coming together,” Parkinson said. “We have a lot of guys back, and I felt like we had a lot of depth last year.”

Cummings also had 423 receiving yards, earning third team all-state honors.

defensive front and our linebackers. I think the strength of our defense is our backfield with four experienced starters,” Ergenbright said. “We have good size in the secondary. We just have to come together as a unit.”

Roush and 6-foot-2, 165-pound senior Grayson Graham return as starting cornerbacks with senior Kamden Kuennen (5-foot-8, 150) rotating into spell Roush, who plays offense also. Leading the group is 6-foot-2, 170-pound senior free safety Zach Combs. Junior Aaron Bartels (6-foot-1, 175) is the strong safety.

Combs is back as Newton’s placekicker and Sturtz is the Cardinal punter. Senior Evan Walker (5-foot-11, 235) is the long snapper and is expected to rotate in along the offensive line.

“We have pretty good depth in almost every position on offense and defense. It’s great to be able to rotate people in and keep fresh players on the field,” Ergenbright said.

“What I’m looking for this week is a win, but just as important is how our kids respond playing on the road.

Also, I want them to respond in being tough physically and mentally. Now, it’s just about going and playing a game.”

Pella Christian was hit hard by graudation. The Eagles graduated all-staters at quarterback and receiver along wthe their four top rushers, four of their top five receivers and six of their seven leading tacklers, Baxter at West Central, 7 p.m.

The Bolts begin their 8-player era with a road game against a West Central team which went 0-9 in 2016.

Baxter will travel 129 miles one way to Maynard to face a Blue Devils squad who graduated their starting quarterback, three of their four top receivers and three of their four top tacklers.

The top returner for West Central is Collin Kime. Kime led the Blue Devils with 922 rushing yards and five touchdowns. He had a team-high 25 catches for 351 yards and two scores as a receiver.

Kime is the top returning tackler, too. He had 45 tackles and a team-high four sacks in 2016.

Baxter’s best player is junior linemen Will Clapper, who earned second team allstate honors as a 2A offensive linemen last year.

Other players expected to make a big impact for the Bolts in their first 8-player season is senior quarterback/ linebacker Braydon Aker as well as seniors Travis Lindemoen, Marcus Mitchell and Devin Carson and sophomore Cole Damman.

The Bolts have a full ninegame schedule but will operate as an independent in 2017 and cannot play in the postseason.

Many people are so addicted to social validation that they fake a happier lifestyle than they live. It makes no sense to those who would rather (SET ITAL)be(END ITAL) happy than (SET ITAL)seem(END ITAL) happy, but it’s a good indicator of the strongly addictive properties of approval.

Venus squared to Uranus has a suggestion: To reduce your need for approval, approve of yourself.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Keep track. Then later, when you slip into one of those “what am I doing, what have I accomplished, have I wasted my life” type of moods, you’ll have plenty of reminders.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You can. Somewhere along the line you got a totally different message, and that message was a lie, based on assumptions and partial information. You can.

And furthermore, you will.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

All the improvement starts in your mind. Thinking better is doing better. New research will help you to harness the latent power of your brain to deliver higher levels of achievement.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Universally, flying is commonly thought of as a peaceful experience. Pictures of the Earth from space bring fascination and calm. Serenity flows naturally from a heightened perception. Spiritually, rise up and look down.

Maybe this is just about keep-

ing the distractions and interruptions at bay, or maybe your process and product will come into question. Anyway, while going to bat for yourself you’ll learn something.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Boy, will your brain be busy today, assaulted with way too many facts, plenty of jibber-jabber, a dash of rumor and a pinch or two of speculation.

The peace of this afternoon will come as a big relief.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Though you must see this project through, and it’s definitely worth sticking with for all the learning, fun and profits it will yield, don’t think for a minute that this is it for you.

The best work is the work you haven’t thought of yet.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

There are circumstances, your opinion of them and a thread of tension suspended in between to carry your emotional reaction. To change your emotion, tweak either the circumstances or your opinion.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’ve a sense that some of the ride has been kept from you, and you’re now eager for the full experience. You want to know what’s behind not just some of the doors but all of them.

running toilets and a snack stand. He tells anyone who asks that his job at the track is to mow the grass and pick up the trash, but it’s clear there’s nowhere else he’d rather be as he watches his grandson Brayden, 7, run laps on the track.

He’s hoping that interest will continue to pick up, and he’ll be able to ease into working at the track full time.

“I’m doing it for the kids, not just mine, but everyone’s,” Stierwalt said. “This is a family sport, and I want to be able to give more back to the kids.”

the racing surface at the 641-792-3121 ext. 6532 or track is some of the best ddolmage@newtondailynews.com in the business, but it takes plenty of work to get it ready for race day.

Track owner Wes Stierwalt starts watering the track early in the week to make sure there’s enough moisture that works its way down into the soil.

It takes more than 20,000 gallons of water, pumped from the nearby creek to prep the track. Stierwalt laughs when he’s asked if there’s a secret formula to get the surface just right.

“All we do is make mud,” Stierwalt said. “I grew up on a farm, and I’m still playing in the mud.”

The “gumbo” dirt needs to be sticky, in order to make sure the slick tires the racers use have enough traction to work their way around the track. When you walk across the track after it’s been freshly prepped your feet will stick, leaving an imprint of your shoes.

In 1898, Howard Snyder, a rural Austin, Minnesota farm boy accepted an offer from Frederick L. Maytag to start working at the Parsons Band Cutter & Self Feeder Company in Newton, Iowa. Dr. Tom Hoover, a Newton Iowa historian, has written a book entitled How We Made The Gyrafoam: The Story of Two Midwestern Farm Boys Who Changed Washday Mondays Forever. The book follows the life of Howard Snyder, raised near Rose Creek, Minnesota, and reveals the role Frederick L. Maytag, a farm boy from Laurel, Iowa, played as his benefactor and friend. Together these two outstanding men led The Maytag Company to the top of the washing machine world in 1926.
