Olive ‘et Boutique brings ladies ‘apparel and pretty things’ to downtown Newton

Drought designation offers relief, but farmers aren’t sure they need it yet

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Olive ‘et Boutique’s opening weekend exceeded expectations and owner Vicki Wade is excited to keep the momentum going. The ladies “apparel and pretty things” shop, located at 111 W. Second St. S., welcomed its first customers on Friday and Saturday and had an overwhelmingly positive response leading Wade to begin making more orders for merchandise.

Open Fridays from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., Olive ‘et Boutique features apparel in a range of sizes, jewelry, gifts and accessories, with some items sourced from local makers.

“I’ll be sourcing fun and unique items from Iowa and Midwest vendors,” Wade said. “The gals at the shop enjoy merchandising and helping others create beauty for themselves. They are encouraged to call customers when a new item comes in that fits their style. There is new inventory weekly, so the key is to stop in frequently to see what’s new.”

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News Local farmers are eligible for disaster relief thanks to a drought declaration from the USDA last month, but many are taking a “wait and see” approach as harvest season draws near.

Jasper County is not one of the primary counties identified in the drought designation, but it qualifies due to its proximity to the primary counties of Clarke, Decatur, Jefferson, Lucas, Madison, Marion, Union, Wapello, Warren and Wayne counties.

The designation means farmers in the affected areas qualify for emergency loans and other assistance programs from the federal government.

Will Cannon, who farms near Newton, said this year feels reminiscent of 2012, when local farmers faced similar drought conditions.

While he’s certain yields won’t be as high as last year’s bumper crop, Cannon said it’s hard to DROUGHT | 3A

Thunder Nites season Goldfinch Growth working to develop Iowa communities ends with an ‘open heart’

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Bringing new businesses, housing and growth to a community is a strategy almost everyone can gather around. Goldfinch Growth, a development and investment company started by former City of Newton employees Natalie Umsted and Bryan Friedman, is working to do just that in communities throughout the state of Iowa.

“Goldfinch Growth works with communities and property owners across the state to make investments and improvements into properties and to provide residential and commercial spaces for new tenants,” Umsted said. “When we have ownership interest in the properties we also offer property management services but we are looking to work with individuals across the state to purchase or assist in the development process

for building or land that has maybe been under invested in, work to renovate it and improve it so we can create higher-quality developments in communities of all sizes.”

The idea for the business came after years of seeing communities in Iowa in need of higher quality housing and commercial spaces that off more flexible rates and different options for tenants and entrepreneurs, Umsted said. Seeing no one come in to fill the void, Goldfinch Growth hopes to bring solutions to the communities in need.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Monday, Sept. 11, the 254th day of 2017. There are 111 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 11, 2001, nearly 3,000 people were killed as 19 al-Qaida hijackers seized control of four jetliners, sending two of the planes into New York’s World Trade Center, one into the Pentagon and the fourth into a field in western Pennsylvania.

On this date: In 1297, Scottish rebels led by William Wallace and Andrew Moray defeated English troops in the Battle of Stirling Bridge during the First War of Scottish Independence.

In 1814, an American fleet scored a decisive victory over the British in the Battle of Lake Champlain in the War of 1812.

In 1936, Boulder Dam (now Hoover Dam) began operation as President Franklin D. Roosevelt pressed a key in Washington to signal the startup of the dam’s first hydroelectric generator.

In 1941, groundbreaking took place for the Pentagon. In a speech that drew accusations of anti-Semitism, Charles A. Lindbergh told an America First rally in Des Moines, that “the British, the Jewish and the Roosevelt administration” were pushing the United States toward war.

In 1954, the Miss America pageant made its network TV debut on ABC; Miss California, Lee Meriwether, was crowned the winner.

In 1967, the comedy-variety program “The Carol Burnett Show” premiered on CBS. In 1985, Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds cracked career hit number 4,192 off Eric Show (rhymes with “how”) of the San Diego Padres, eclipsing the record held by Ty Cobb. (The Reds won the game, 2-0).

Ten years ago: A new Osama bin Laden videotape was released on the sixth anniversary of 9/11; in it, the al-Qaida leader’s voice is heard commemorating one of the suicide hijackers and calling on young Muslims to follow his example by martyring themselves in attacks.

Five years ago: A mob armed with guns and grenades launched a fiery nightlong attack on a U.S. diplomatic outpost and a CIA annex in Benghazi, Libya, killing U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans.

One year ago: The U.S. marked the 15th anniversary of 9/11 with the solemn roll call of the dead at ground zero.

Hillary Clinton abruptly left after feeling “overheated,” according to her campaign, and hours later her doctor disclosed that the Democratic presidential nominee had pneumonia.

Today’s Birthdays Former Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, is 93. Actor Earl Holliman is 89. Singer-musician Leo Kottke is 72. Actor Phillip Alford is 69. Actress Amy Madigan is 67. Rock singer-musician Tommy Shaw (Styx) is 64.

Thousands of nude cyclists set off on a trek around Philadelphia on Saturday for the annual Philly Naked Bike Ride.

About 3,000 riders in various stages of undress pedaled a 10-mile course taking in sights including Independence Hall and the Philadelphia Museum of Art, where Sylvester Stallone sprinted up the steps while training as Rocky.

Participants in the ride can go as bare as they dare. Some were in their birthday suits while others sported underwear or body paint and glitter.

The 23-year-old Miss North Dakota won the crown Sunday night in Atlantic City after saying in an onstage interview that President Donald Trump was wrong to pull the United States out of the Paris climate accord.

Mund topped a field of 51 contestants to win in the New Jersey seaside resort, where most of the 97 Miss Americas have been selected.

“I wasn’t really afraid if my opinion wasn’t the opinion of my judges,” she said. “Miss America needs to have an opinion and she needs to know what’s happening in the current climate.”

She’s not concerned about any pushback from Trump, who said the Paris accord was a bad deal economically for the United States and who also called global warming a hoax.

Trump had not mentioned Mund or her comment on the Paris accord on Twitter as of early Monday morning.

“He is our president and we need to support him,” Mund said. “I may not agree with all of his opinions, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to support the president.”

In an interview with The Associated Press before preliminary competition began, Mund, who lives in Bismarck, North Dakota, said her goal is to be the first woman elected governor of her state.

Local & State News Drought Continued from Page 1A tell just how the drought has affected his operation until harvesting begins. Where the soil is the best, Cannon said he expected yields to be comparable, but in areas with lower quality soil farmers are expecting dramatically reduced yields.

“For the heat we’ve had and the lack of rain we’ve had I think the yields will be pretty phenomenal in spite of those obstacles, but they’re going to be down dramatically from what they’ve been the last couple of years,” Cannon said.

Wade Boehm couldn’t agree more. On his farm north of Colfax, Boehm said in areas

Boutique Continued from Page 1A Olive ‘et Boutique has been a long time coming for Wade. Out of high school, she worked for Lee and Kay Hesse and Hesse’s Menswear before getting her start in marketing and communications with author Susan Wilson.

“Kay and Susan are my mentors,” Wade said. “Because of these ladies, my entrepreneurial spirit was discovered and nurtured.

It was always on my bucket list to own a ladies boutique.”

Wade went on to work as a clothing and gift buyer for Grinnell College bookstores which connected her to many desired lines and products available. With the encouragement of her supervisor at the college, along with her husband Shawn, Wade went on to receive her master’s degree in business administrator at Drake University.

“An MBA fit perfectly with my love of business, marketing, teaching and philanthropy,” Wade said.

Along with her desire to open a boutique, Wade also wanted to give back to the community she has worked and lived in with her family.

“Shawn and I made the choice to invest in Newton,” Wade said. “We are both lifelong Newton residents, and my family is rooted in Newton.

where the soil is poor it’s clear the drought has taken root.

Pointing to a stand of corn, Boehm plucked one of the ears and demonstrated how it’s noticeably smaller than average.

Sandy soil in that area means the water dissipates quickly, and it’s these areas that are hit hardest by the drought.

“The marginal areas are going to be hit the hardest, and it just seemed like we missed a lot of rains this year,” Boehm said. “June and July were really dry months.”

While both farmers agreed the drought designation will offer some relief, but they are also disappointed with the recent USDA harvest forecast.

Based on the USDA projections, grain prices are still low, with corn recently trading at

I choose to give back in these ways to keep our community vibrant. I would love to see additional merchants and boutiques in the downtown area and hope the owners will partner with others to form a support network, much like it was back when Hesse’s was on the square.”

Wade is already thinking about what is next for the store after a busy opening weekend.

“We have sights on new and different products that meet the demand of our market. Customers are encouraged to leave suggestions in the store or on the Olive ‘et Boutique Facebook page,” Wade said. “As the holidays approach, we will add products ideal for family gift giving such as foodstuffs and men’s accessories.

Guys can be difficult to buy for so we’re looking at bringing in reasonably priced items as the holiday approaches.”

Wade also plans to have the boutique open for special activities in downtown and during Newton Main Street and Newton Chamber of Commerce events. The next opportunity to shop at Olive ‘et Boutique is during a Fall Open House event Thursday through Saturday in conjunction with Fine Things Reclaimed and Silverado Jewelry.

$3.45 a bushel. The low prices, in conjunction with lower yields has farmers feeling the pinch.

“A lot of guys don’t agree with the USDA numbers, they’re looking at their fields and thinking the numbers should be higher, there’s a lot of anxiety and a lot of unknowns right now,” Cannon said.

Boehm thinks there’s still time for a price rally, but he said he doesn’t expect it to happen until the harvest season kicks into gear, because that’s the first opportunity farmers will have a chance to get some solid numbers.

“I don’t think there’s going to be as many bushels coming out of Jasper County as people are used to,” Boehm said.

“I personally feel at the end of

You find a niche that needs to be filled that people haven’t stepped in exactly to fill that solution, I think between the two of us we have the skills to do that.”

They also know that projects are not always done alone. Goldfinch Growth also sees making partnerships with other developers and investors to make some of the projects possible.

“There are so many examples that show that there is a market for housing and commercial spaces in communities around Iowa, that they just lack that investment or developer push to make the projects happen. We want to help fill that need,” Friedman said. “We have such a strong belief in this state and the people and communities in the state that we see this as a huge opportunity to help grow these communities and work with people to make these investments.

“The goal of the company is to help develop Iowa communities,” Friedman said. “To have the concept of an Iowa symbol, like the goldfinch, paired with growth really fit the vision that we have for what our company is about, growing Iowa communities.”

Overall, Umsted and Friedman are working to uplift communities in Iowa and bring out untapped potential in forgotten buildings and spaces.

“We really want to create products that are high quality, safe and modern. That is something that some of the communities are lack and that residents and tenants would appreciate,” Umsted said. “We are looking at buildings that we can upgrade a little bit to create them to be the high quality, safe and modern or build new construction to meet those standards.”

Thunder Nites, donated $250 to the Iowa Donor Network.

In downtown Newton on the second Friday from May through September, Thunder Nites is one of the state’s largest bike nights. After weather canceled several gatherings in 2016, not a single event was called off in 2017.

“We have been very blessed with great weather this year, it has been very nice,” O’Brien said.

“We were lucky that we didn’t have to cancel any.”

With the sixth year in the books, organizers are already looking to next year to make the event even bigger and better.

“We’re trying to change it up a little bit, making it more interesting and trying to bring more people down to Newton,” O’Brien said.

Farmers can take advantage of other programs with the drought designation, which includes cutting CRP fields for hay, which will provide relief for many livestock farmers in the county whose fields have gone dormant due to lack of rain.

Cannon said it’s too early to tell if he’ll take advantage of the emergency loans or not.

Daring to dream

Start the Press Abigail Pelzer

A

n image I took years ago on Marshalltown’s Main Street, one that has long since been lost deep in thousands of images in my files, sometimes resurfaces in my mind and brings back the same feelings it conjured in that moment.

It was a young girl, probably 5, with beautiful long, dark hair. She was wearing a crisp, sparkly pink tutu around her waist that caught the sun as she bounced along the sidewalk as she took turns between spinning in crooked circles and smiling up at her father who was accompanying her. The image I took, simply because her joy was contagious, is the little girl smiling up at her dad and clasping onto his hand as he looks fondly down at her, echoing her joy and sharing his own look of pride.

At the time I was working with an inspiring group of people focused on building relationships and understand-

ing between immigrants and the local community and sharing their efforts in various newspaper articles. Somehow this image captured the essence of the life and hope many of these families were seeking for their children.

Through this connection I met many DREAMers — undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. as kids — but the young women I met perhaps made the most impact on how I came to understand their struggle and their dreams.

These women value and appreciate the education they were afforded in public school district, a right granted by the U.S. Supreme Court. They sought for higher education, driver’s licenses, legal jobs and many of their families were maneuvering their ways through a complex and often discouraging process of becoming U.S. citizens. Above all, they were seeking the security of

feeling comfortable in the only country they’d ever known. Meanwhile, they were volunteering their time to build understanding in their community.

So when a news app alerted me last Sunday that President Trump was expected to end DACA, the program for undocumented immigrants who entered the U.S. as children, my thoughts and my heart drifted north.

I was fortunate in my career, and in my personal time, to meet and share the stories of some of this country’s 800,000 youth, an estimated 3,000 of which call Iowa home. The thought they were suddenly thrown into a fear like I will never know sank deep within me.

Congress has been called to act on DACA, but it was only after Congress didn’t for years act on DACA that it came to be via executive order. Since the announcement, the White House has back peddled in some aspects — promising that targeting these thousands of youth with dreams of contributing to their country won’t be sought after for deportation. The president has promised to act with “heart.” He may even “revisit” it should Congress not act.

Meanwhile those benefiting from this program — raising children, paying mortgages, volunteering in their communities, working meaningful jobs, supporting our tax base and pledging their allegiance to our flag — are counting the days until their DACA expires.

It’s a devastating decision that should dismay a moral compass.

Last week, we ran an article about our own governor supporting the end of DACA and urging Congress to act.

The next day we featured an editorial cartoon of a young man in front of a classroom explaining he didn’t do much over the summer, but he still did more than Congress. Unfortunately, Congress doing nothing despite some members’ best efforts, has become the norm. It’s easy to become discouraged.

Yet, the spirit of these DREAMers I had the good fortune to meet demands I remain as hopeful as a little girl wearing a pink, sparkly tutu and spinning crooked circles on a sidewalk. It demands I recognize a country that still believes in the American Dream.

Seeing alternatives

I just got new glasses — without going to an optometrist.

It’s another innovation made possible by the internet.

Going to an optometrist can be a pain. You have to leave work, get to an optometrist’s office, sit in a waiting room and then pay an average of $95 (in my town). But I got a prescription for just $50 — without leaving my computer.

This is possible thanks to a company called Opternative (“optometry alternative”). The company claims its online test is just as good as an in-person eye exam.

I was skeptical. It’s over the internet! How can a computer replicate what optometrists do in their offices with impressive-looking machines?

“This is the beauty of technology,” answered Dick Carpenter, director of strategic research for the libertarian law firm the Institute for Justice.

Carpenter researched Opternative’s test and concludes that it is just as good as an in-person exam.

“Sometimes better, some research has indicated.” ere’s how it works: First, you answer some medical questions.

Then, while holding your cellphone, you follow prompts on the phone while looking at your computer screen, selecting which lines look sharper, or which numbers you see.

One day later, they send you a prescription. Mine exactly matched the prescription I got from my ophthalmologist, a medical doctor who charges much more.

Fast, cheap, and easy.

So naturally, optometrists want this alternative banned. “This is really foolhardy and really dangerous,” said former American Optometric Association president Andrea Thau on “Good Morning America.” he wouldn’t do an interview with me. Nor would anyone else from her Association — despite our sending them emails for a month.

I assume they knew I’d mock them for trying to ban the competition. Which they are trying to do. They wrote the FDA that the at-home test “should be taken off the market.”

What they’re really saying is that patients should not have the right to make any choices in their own vision care.

The optometrists are bottleneckers. “Bottleneckers: Gaming the Government for Power and Private Profit” is the title of Dick Carpenter’s new book. He studies how established professionals use government to limit competition.

Cosmetologists get laws passed that force hair-braiders to spend $5,000 on useless courses and tests. Restaurants limit food trucks. Established florists ban newcomers. Optometrists want to ban Opternative’s test.

Bottleneckers like them have clout in legislatures because their lobbyists give politicians money. They persuaded 13 states to draft bills that would ban at-home tests.

In South Carolina, then-Governor Nikki Haley vetoed the ban, correctly calling it anti-competitive. But the legislators were beholden to the optometrists’ lobby; they overrode her veto.

The optometrists say that a home test is too risky because no doctor is there to look for diseases. I confronted Opternative’s spokesman about that. He said the test’s questionnaire filters out sick people by asking questions like: “Any health conditions? ... pregnancy, nursing, diabetes ... Any medication that affects your vision? ... Sertraline, Amitriptyline...?”

The optometrists at least have a better argument: The at-home eye test might miss a disease.

But I say we consumers should get to choose what risks we take. Many young people don’t want to spend that money. Opternative at least gives them an alternative — a way to get a prescription without going to a doctor.

It’s good to have a choice.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

The Democrats need new leadership There is an epidemic of insanity permeating the leadership of the Democratic National Committee. Despite mounting losses, they continue to actively alienate and antagonize the very group of voters they need to win. This increasingly profound incompetence and lack of ethical standards makes them unworthy to lead the party.

Instead of championing progressive causes heavily favored by the increasingly dominant Millennial generation, they’ve rebranded themselves as an anti-Trump “Resistance.” Are Millennials buying it? Do a search for the Twitter hashtag #McResistance. That’s what they’ve been calling it on social media.

It’s a mocking reference to what this generation sees as a cynical and amusingly obtuse marketing campaign clumsily disguised as a resistance movement by a political establishment that doesn’t have a clue.

Despite the fact that the Millennials are coming of voting age and have now surpassed the Baby Boomers as the largest generation, the Democrats still refuse to listen to this burgeoning demographic. Millennials tend to be way more progressive, more inquisitive, and much more hostile toward Neoliberalism and the establishment that clings to it. They’re also far less likely to be influenced by marketing.

So what have the Democrats done to earn the Millennial vote? Not a damn thing. Instead, they continue relying on outdated fear tactics and obnoxious marketing techniques, refusing to budge on issues like free college tuition and reforming Wall Street. They also had to

Another View Kris Craig be dragged kicking and screaming on gay marriage, raising the minimum wage, and now Medicare-for-all. These are the Democrats we’re talking about.

In spite of the Democrats reporting a whopping $3.3 million of debt in June, the failed decision-makers who caused it are still sitting comfortably at the top. Iowa Democrats like Congressman David Loebsack must be put on notice that their constituents will no longer vote for anyone who refuses to stand up to the corrupt party establishment and reject their big-money influence.

The fundraising emails that the Democrats and their allies have been spamming people with have not helped their cause, either. In just this past year, for example, I have received nearly a dozen emails from them with the subject line, “kiss all hope goodbye.” Yes, really. These emails are remarkably tone-deaf and unprofessional to the point of childishness.

Here are a few highlights from actual emails I’ve received from them: “We’re begging you. Can you pitch in $1 before tomorrow’s End of Month Deadline?”

“This is the most terrifying update we’ve ever sent you.”

“Please — we’re begging.”

“This is an emergency.”

“They’re watching you.”

“Listen, we’re BEGGING.” “KNOCK KNOCK. WHO’S THERE? JAMES CARVILLE.

GIMME FIVE BUCKS.” “OH. MY. GOD. Republicans are PANICKING.” Is it any wonder people aren’t giving them money? I receive several of these annoying emails each and every day from the DCCC, alone. As for why these emails all read like they were written by a 14-year-old girl, I have no idea. Perhaps they think this is how you talk to Millennials. The thought of simply treating them with respect and giving them an equal voice in the party has yet to occur to them, evidently.

Let me offer the Democrats some advice: Stop begging!

What you’re doing isn’t fundraising. It’s panhandling. And when it’s being done by people who are already obscenely wealthy, well, that’s what I meant when I said they’re tone-deaf.

As young people struggle with the burden of record student debt and a rapidly collapsing middle class, former DNC Chair and current party luminary Donna Brazile tweeted that the “Communists are now dictating the terms of the debate.” Brazile, who was previously fired from CNN after leaking debate questions to the Clinton campaign and then lying about it, is a shining example of how out-of-touch the formerly-Democratic Party has become.

I can’t help but wonder how many more Republican presidents we’ll have to endure before the Democrats finally wake up and clean house. Their so-called “leaders” who are driving the party into the ground need to be tossed aside like the dusty old baggage they have become.

It’s time to start listening. It’s time for a change.

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.

Herpes infection keeps lonely woman on the dating sidelines DEAR ABBY: I am a 65-yearold woman, attractive and lonely.

I am uncomfortable using dating sites because I have genital herpes.

I was infected by my first husband more than 40 years ago.

If I were to meet someone on one of those sites, when would be the right time to reveal my problem? After we have gotten to know each other? Or should I be up front about it and say something when we first meet? I am, naturally, afraid of condemnation and/or contempt.

— UNSURE IN NEW YORK DEAR UNSURE: Herpes is an infection, not a scarlet letter. Many people carry the virus, and a surprising number of them are not aware they have it and can infect others. In fact, according to the American Sexual Health Association, one in six individuals in the United States between the ages of 14 and 49 has genital herpes (HSV-2).

Because you are hesitant about when to reveal your status, please visit the ASHA website (ashasexualhealth.org). You will find it informative. It includes a section on relationships, suggestions about when to tell someone, how to talk to a partner, reactions to expect, etc.

Another website that has been mentioned in my column before is H-Date.com. It offers a free dating service through which thousands of men and women meet. Many nice, eligible people — people just like you — have herpes and live full, happy lives. I hope you will check it out.

DEAR ABBY: I recently moved to a new area of my state. I like the environment, the cost of living, etc., but there’s one problem I don’t know how to address. The people

here share far too much information with strangers in everyday conversation. I think there should be some boundaries and limits on what is said in public.

While I was waiting to ask a salesclerk a question, the person ahead of me in line described her entire medical history in detail.

She went on and on and on. There are times I can’t get through a store without someone asking me question after question. They just look for that opening and start throwing questions at me! I believe in being polite, so I have reached the point of just nodding my head or responding with a yes or no most of the time. It’s really off-putting.

A lot of these people need to back off. — NEEDS BOUNDARIES IN THE SOUTH DEAR NEEDS BOUNDARIES: Many people ask questions as a way to start a conversation because they are interested in you or are lonely. Because you consider their questions invasive and you need boundaries, you will have to set them. A way to do that would be to tell the questioner that the query is a personal one, and you prefer not to share that kind of information with strangers.

4 Iowa woman gets probation

19 Iowa Guardsmen heading to hurricane duty

for theft from elderly aunt

DES MOINES — Officials say 19 Iowa Army National Guard soldiers are deploying Monday for Hurricane Irma missions with four helicopters. The Iowa soldiers will come from units based in Boone, Davenport, Iowa City and Waterloo. The Guard says the Iowans will move supplies, equipment and people and support searches and rescues.

The weakened but still dangerous hurricane is pushing inland, hammering Florida with winds and floodwaters that create hazards for rescuers trying to help beleaguered residents.

Officer injured by hit-and-run driver CEDAR RAPIDS — Police say an officer has been injured by a hit-and-run driver in Cedar Rapids. The crash occurred around 11:20 p.m. Saturday as the police cruiser sat behind another vehicle that was going to be towed. The officer opened the car’s passenger door after the car struck the cruiser, but the driver accelerated backward, knocking over and briefly dragging the officer before speeding away.

DURANGO — A Durango woman found guilty in April of stealing more than $400,000 from an aunt who suffered from dementia has been sentenced to five years’ probation.

Molly Bodish, 45, was sentenced Friday in Dubuque County. She was also ordered to pay restitution and court costs. Dubuque police say they began investigating the possible abuse of an 80-year-old woman in May 2015, after her death. Prosecutors say records show Bodish wrote $414,000 in checks from her aunt’s account over several years.

New library proposed for eastern Iowa city MARION — If library officials in the eastern Iowa city of Marion have their way, the city will get a new library that can accommodate a burgeoning population and the public’s need for internet access.

The proposed public library would be twice the size of the current one and include apartments and commercial space.

The new library would sit at the corner of Seventh Avenue and 12th Street, where a strip mall now sits, and is estimated to cost between $12 million and $16 million.

AG tells agency to halt part of Iowa’s medical marijuana law DES MOINES (AP) — An unusual attempt

by Iowa to work with another state to transport medical marijuana oil across state lines is on hold amid legal concerns it could invite scrutiny from the federal government.

The Iowa Attorney General’s office advised the Iowa Department of Public Health this month that it should not implement a small section in Iowa’s new medical marijuana law that requires the state, before the end of the year, to license up to two “out-ofstate” dispensaries from a bordering state. Those entities would have been expected to bring cannabis oil into Iowa in order to sell it.

That’s considered illegal under federal law, which categorizes marijuana as a type of controlled substance that is prohibited from being moved across state lines. But during the final hours of the legislative session in April, some Republicans in the GOP-controlled Legislature suggested adding the language to open the door for a partnership with a neighboring state like Minnesota.

The development is not expected to impact other provisions in the law that call for establishing an in-state production system for cannabis oil by the end of 2018. Still, some GOP lawmakers expressed

frustration with the news because the provision was also aimed at creating more immediate access to cannabis oil.

Currently, Iowans have no way of getting the product within the state.

House Speaker Linda Upmeyer, R-Clear Lake, noted in a statement that no matter what the Legislature had decided, the state still would have been in violation of federal law.

“As I’ve said before, the federal government needs to act on this issue or let the states do their work,” she said, adding, “The out-of-state distributors are the quickest way to supply sick Iowans with a product that doctors say could be beneficial. If that provision doesn’t work out, then people will have to wait another year, and that’s disappointing.”

At least 29 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico now allow for comprehensive public medical marijuana and cannabis programs, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Possessing, manufacturing and selling marijuana remains illegal under federal law. In 2013, the Department of Justice issued a memorandum offering assurance that states could proceed with medical marijuana programs without fear of federal prosecution, in part by avoiding agreements that would move

marijuana from one state to another.

Geoff Greenwood, a spokesman for the attorney general’s office, said in an email that if a state program authorizes or encourages diversion from one state to another, “it is possible that state’s program may come under increased scrutiny from the federal government.” He said the halt on implementation should remain “until the federal government provides further guidance regarding state medical marijuana programs.”

Justin Strekal, political director for the pro-marijuana group National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, known as NORML, said few states have attempted what Iowa tried to do, though data is limited.

“This is just another example of lawmakers overcomplicating something for the sake of overcomplicating it, rather than implementing a system that actually serves their constituents,” he said.

It’s unclear how President Donald Trump’s administration will deal with medical marijuana. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has warned marijuana is a dangerous drug and said he’d reconsider existing marijuana policies.

Sally Gaer, of West Des Moines, has lobbied for years for Iowa to allow more access to med-

ical marijuana. Gaer, whose adult daughter uses cannabis oil, said lawmakers could have put Iowa’s medical marijuana program in jeopardy by adding the language.

“I’m so frustrated with this,” she said.

The out-of-state dispensaries provision is tucked into the secondto-last page of a 20-page law, and is separate from requirements that Iowa license up to two cannabis oil manufacturers in Iowa and up to five dispensaries to sell it instate. The oil would be supplied in Iowa by the end of 2018. Smoking marijuana remains prohibited.

If state attorneys had decided out-ofstate dispensaries must be licensed, it could have worsened an already tight timeline for launching the overall program. A new medical marijuana board met last week to help with requirements that Iowa license its manufacturers by December. The dispensaries must be licensed by April.

Rep. Jarad Klein, who was floor manager for the medical marijuana legislation that became law, was surprised to learn the provision on the out-of-state dispensaries wasn’t moving forward. He said he would seek guidance from Gov. Kim Reynolds, who was lieutenant governor when the law was passed.

Iowa student gets clerkship with Senate Judiciary Committee CEDAR FALLS (AP) — Based on her upbringing, Cierra Cook Newman said, she could well have been a statistic.

Raised by a single mother and with a father who was in and out of the criminal justice system, the odds of Newman attending law school were not in her favor.

But she’s there. And she recently left for Washington, D.C., where she has been selected to serve a clerkship with the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee.

“I’m standing on the shoulders of a grandmother who grew up during segregation who had to work twice as hard for half as much,” Newman said. “I’m standing on the shoulders of my grandfather (James Wesley Cook Sr.), who walked the beat in the ‘60s as the first black detective sergeant (on the Waterloo police force). I’m standing on the shoulders of mom who worked two jobs to support me while finishing her degree.”

Newman said it’s a motivating force.

“I feel a responsibility to work hard and make them and my community proud of me,” she told The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier.

Newman, 29 and a student with the University of Iowa College of Law, will spend the

September-December semester in Washington.

Securing such an appointment is an honor and accomplishment, said Adrien Wing, associate dean for international and comparative law programs at the University of Iowa College of Law. “The U.S. Senate in itself is prestigious,” Wing said. “There are many committees, and among them this would be one of the most prestigious, if not the most prestigious. At this historical moment in time, I’m sure this experience will be transformative.”

Newman graduated from Cedar Falls High School in 2006 and moved to North Carolina where she received a bachelor’s degree in business. She worked at a bank while in college, starting as a teller.

After graduation, she accepted a position in the bank’s wealth management legal advisory department.

“We helped protect the assets of high-net worth clients who died or became incapacitated,” Newman said.

That sparked her desire to enter law school.

“I saw the way our wealthy clients were treated versus the way consumers who had 200 bucks in their account (were treated). That type of treatment does play out into treatment in other areas of the law.

Iowa solar power company hopes to power the ag industry

By Ty Rushing Sioux City Journal SIOUX CITY — Dolf Ivener wants to help the planet and revolutionize the way farmers power their farms.

The Sioux City businessman and fifth-generation farmer, who oversees operations outside of Hinton and Whiting, Iowa, recently launched Hog Power Energy.

The new company aims to help pork producers reduce electricity costs in confinements through the use of renewable energy created via a self-contained solar generator system developed and tested

by Ivener.

Essentially, it gives producers a chance to implement a microgrid system to a con-

finement that would lessen but not completely eliminate their dependence on utilities and offset their electricity costs by $300-$500 a month, according to Ivener’s estimates.

The all-in-one solar powered system comes packed inside a 20-foot shipping container. Contents of the container include an 11-kilowatt solar panel system that features 40 panels, a battery management system, a 20-kilowatt battery to store excess energy and provide 30 hours of backup power, and a 15-kilowatt inverter that directs the collected energy.

Although the system is suited for any type of ag building, Ivener is specifically targeting hog confinements for now due to how the needs of those

structures align with solar’s capabilities.

“You see what’s running on this hog confinement? Fans,” Ivener told the Sioux City Journal . “At night when it’s really cool, the fans don’t run and you don’t need as much electricity. Winter time, none of the fans run — like one fan — so it works perfectly with solar production because it’s when their energy consumption is at its most.”

While the figure varies by type of building, materials inside of it, its size and its purpose — for example, a finishing barn versus a gestation barn — a typical 1,000head swine facility uses about 2,000 kilowatt hours a month, according to Jay Harmon, an Iowa State University profes-

sor and livestock production specialist for the college’s extension program.

Harmon came about that number after he and other researchers associated with the college surveyed a number of producers to try and determine the average electrical use for operating a hog confinement.

“That’s ball park anyway,” Harmon said.

Determining an average rate is a bit more challenging.

Rates vary depending on if a confinement receives service through a private utility, a municipal-owned utility or rural cooperative and the category it is billed under.

However, another study by the University of Minnesota’s extension office estimated that

energy costs, including gas usage, represent anywhere from 2 to 5 percent of the out-ofpocket costs of raising a pig.

Even though that figure isn’t a substantial expense, it is one that can be trimmed, which is where Ivener sees his opportunity.

Advances in battery technology are what have allowed Ivener, a 43-year-old champion of renewables, to create the Hog Power system.

“There’s a saying, ‘You strike when the iron is hot.’” Ivener said. “And the iron is hot because the technology is getting cheap enough and the utilities don’t understand that they might actually have to charge you less money for electricity; they’ve never done that in the history of electricity.”

Local & State News September is Preparedness Month in Iowa

8A |

DES MOINES — Gov. Kim Reynolds has proclaimed September as Preparedness Month in Iowa.

“This past summer’s severe weather and flooding are a reminder that disasters can, and do, happen in our state and that is why I have proclaimed September as Preparedness Month in Iowa,” Reynolds said.

“I am asking Iowans to take steps now to prepare themselves, their families, their places of business, and their communities for any emergency.”

Preparedness Month is sponsored by the Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management (HSEMD), the Iowa Emergency Management Association (IEMA), the

Safeguard Iowa Partnership (SIP) and the National Weather Service (NWS).

“Disasters begin and end in our neighborhoods and home towns,” said IEMA President Dave Wilson. “Local emergency managers help to ensure emergency responders in each county are ready for emergencies and disasters. It’s important that citizens take responsibility for their own preparedness as well.”

During Preparedness Month, HSEMD, IEMA and SIP are urging Iowans to take simple steps to ensure they, their families and their places of business are prepared.

Those steps are make an emergency plan, build an emergency kit, and be aware of hazards in

your area. For more on the three simple steps to preparedness, visit the Ready Iowa website www.beready.iowa.gov “The creation of an emergency plan for your business or family sounds like an overwhelming task to many people but, in fact, there are a number of free resources available to help you get started,” said SIP Executive Director Dutch Geisinger. “Preparedness Month in Iowa is a perfect time to put your ideas on paper and help educate your family or your co-workers.”

National Weather Service Warning Coordination Meteorologist Kelsey Angle stresses that now is the time to develop and practice a plan before severe weather strikes. “Knowing what

action to take at home, work, school, in a vehicle and places in between could save your life when severe weather threatens.

Planning and preparing for the impacts of weather is critical to building a Weather-Ready Nation.”

Iowa’s Preparedness Month is held in conjunction with National Preparedness Month, which was created by the Federal Emergency Management Agency in response to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in

the United States to educate the public on how to prepare for emergencies.

Preparedness Month information can also be found on HSEMD’s Facebook page and on Twitter, using the hash tags #NatlPrep, #PlanAhead, and #ReadyIA. For more information on Preparedness Month sponsors, visit their websites: • Iowa Homeland Security and Emergency Management • Iowa Emergency

Management Association • Safeguard Iowa Partnership • National Weather Service Des Moines The Iowa Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management leads, coordinates and supports homeland security and emergency management functions in order to establish sustainable communities and ensure economic opportunities for Iowa and its citizens.

Hy-Vee celebrates National Family Meals Month by making meal prep easy WEST DES MOINES — This September, Hy-Vee, Inc. is celebrating National Family Meals Month by providing families with weekly meal plans and recipes to make dinner planning easy and fun. To help accommodate the schedules of busy families, the supermarket chain will offer dietitian-led Kids in the Kitchen family cooking classes and the opportunity for children to eat free (with the purchase of an adult entrée) every day in September at all Hy-Vee Market Grille and Market Grille Express restaurants across the company’s eight-state region.

The meal plans will appear in the weekly Hy-Vee print and digital ads throughout the month of September and will direct customers to Hy-Vee’s Family Meals board on Pinter-

est to view the easy-to-prepare recipes. Additional weekly instore family meal deals will be highlighted for those customers looking for grab-and-go dinner options.

In recognition of National Family Meals Month, Hy-Vee is also announcing a major charity donation challenge to get families back around the dinner table. In September, post a photo of your family having a meal together and tag with #hyveefamilymeals — or share/like one of our National Family Meals Month posts — and Hy-Vee will donate $1 to Meals from the Heartland, up to $100,000.

“By providing weekly meal plans and recipes, hosting family cooking classes and offering online grocery shopping, our goal is to make meal

preparation less stressful and more fun,” said Randy Edeker, Hy-Vee’s chairman, CEO and president. “We want to make it as easy as possible for families to plan and prepare meals that enable them to share more time around the table together.”

Created by Food Marketing Institute, National Family Meals Month is an industry-inspired movement to raise consumer awareness of the health and societal benefits of sharing frequent family meals.

More than 76 percent of people report that conflicting schedules are a primary barrier to cooking and eating together on a regular basis. However, research shows that children who share regular family meals benefit from better grades, improved nutrition, stronger family relationships and high-

er self-esteem, and they are less likely to use drugs and alcohol.

According to a 2013 Harris Poll, only 30 percent of American families share dinner together every night.

Mealtime struggles are shared by families of all sizes, which is why Hy-Vee offers the following convenient resources to help eliminate the barriers that keep families from eating together: • Hy-Vee Simple Fix — With this healthy meal prep program, Hy-Vee dietitians shop for ingredients, take care of the cleaning and preparation, and provide the space, bowls and utensils. Your team assembles the meals at Hy-Vee, and take home several dinners that are ready to go.

• Hy-Vee Aisles Online — Through the Hy-Vee Aisles

Online website, www.hy-vee. com/grocery, customers can shop for their groceries, pay electronically and choose to pick up their order or have it delivered to their home.

• Hy-Vee Dietitian Services — Hy-Vee’s more than 200 in-store dietitians consult with customers regarding their dietary needs, conduct store tours to help shoppers make better nutrition choices and lead courses on topics such as kids’ nutrition, lifestyle management and various cooking classes.

• Hy-Vee Chefs — Hy-Vee’s in-store chefs conduct cooking classes, develop and prepare recipes that are offered in stores and collaborate with HyVee dietitians to share healthy meal ideas with customers and various community groups.

• The Darlene D. Schwarz/Schwarz Family Trust farm, in Baxer, established in 1965.

“The Century and Heritage Farm awards ceremony is one of my favorite days of the year. It is a tremendous celebration of the families who have cared for the land and raised the crops and livestock that helped build our state and feed the world. To own a farm for 100 or 150 years is a testament to the values of land stewardship, hard work, patience, dedication and perseverance that are found in Iowa’s farm families,” Northey said.

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship has partnered with the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation since 1976 to recognize families that have owned and worked a farm for 100 years or more. Including this year’s recipients, more than 19,000 farms from across the state have been recognized.

The Heritage Farm program was started in 2006, on the 30th anniversary of the Century Farm program and more than 1,000 farms have been recognized.

The 2017 Century and Heritage Farms Program ceremony was held at the Iowa State Fair in the Pioneer Livestock Pavilion on Aug. 17. Craig Hill, President of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation, or Joe Heinrich, Vice President of the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation joined Northey to recognize all award recipients.

“The program acknowledges the deep roots of Iowa agriculture and the special bond that exists between Iowa families and the land they farm,” Northey said.

“The Iowa State Fair is a celebration of Iowa and Iowa agriculture, so it’s a great place to recognize the Century Farm and Heritage Farm recipients.”

Cardinals too strong for Polar Bears

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Landon Hansen, Newton High senior nose guard, set the tone on the first play from scrimmage Friday night.

When the snapped football went over the head of Des Moines North starting quarterback Jordan Daniels, Hansen reached Daniels just after he retrieved the ball.

The North Polar Bears lost yardage on the play and would continue to go backwards much of the game. Newton was up 34-0 after one quarter on its way to a 60-2 victory in its home opener.

“We found things we could exploit up front on the line of scrimmages against their offensive line,” Hansen said after the game. “Our defense stepped up tonight. We swarmed to the football and made tackles.”

Pressure by Newton’s defensive unit resulted in short punt by the Polar Bears, which was picked up and returned to the North five-yard line by senior Kamden Kuennen. Newton used four plays to score the first touchdown of the night, a 7-yard run by senior quarterback Garrett Sturtz.

Junior Jacob Murphy kicked the extra point to give Newton a 7-0 lead with 8:28 left in the first period.

North switched quarterbacks with senior Tre’Vawn Jarrett taking over the offense. It was much the same for the Polar Bears — three plays and punt.

The Cardinals needed just two plays to cover the 35 yards to the end zone. Stur-

tz connected with Murphy on a 23-yard TD pass play.

North did block Murphy’s extra-point kick to make it 13-0 at the 6:59 mark.

Jarrett was able to complete a pass to move the Polar Bears to their own 29. They didn’t go any further and punted.

Newton muffed the punt and North recovered the football at the 50-yard line.

North decided to go for a fourth-and-six play but Newton senior linebacker Blayden

Rhone got a three-for-one play out of it for Newton. He stopped Daniels in the backfield, forced a fumble and recovered the ball at the North 44-yard line.

“It was a struggle all night for them to get a play off on offense,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said. “We still had to take care of business and play hard because when you’re not playing hard that’s when players get hurt.”

Junior running back Josh

Miller ripped off a 40-yard run then on second-and-goal, Miller bulled over the goal line from four yards out. Sturtz tacked on the two-point conversion run for a 21-0 lead with 3:23 left in the opening period.

Twenty-three seconds later, senior defensive back Grayson Graham had a pick-6. He intercepted a pass by Jarrett and dashed 42 yards for a TD. Wrapping up the first-quarter scoring for Newton was Miller. He found a hole or a 25-

yard TD run to cap a 55-yard drive by the Cardinals. It was set up on runs by senior Cole Cazett and a pass from Sturtz to senior Trevor Ergenbright.

The Cardinals had seven different players score touchdowns in the game. The varsity offensive unit went to the bench with 9:39 left in the second quarter after Cazett scored on a 14-yard run to stake out a 40-0 lead.

Early lead pushes Bolts to home win

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

BAXTER — Baxter senior quarterback Braydon Aker has the perfect description when it comes to 8-man football.

“It’s a lot like backyard football,” Aker said. “It’s awesome.”

Aker was slinging the ball around like he was as a kid in his backyard Friday night against English Valleys.

Aker threw for 297 yards and six touchdowns and rushed for another 107 yards and another score during the Bolts’ 62-40 victory over the Bears in their home opener.

Aker connected with senior Travis Lindemoen for four consecutive TD passes in the first half that put the Bolts up 40-6. Baxter led 40-12 at halftime before having to hold off a mild

rally from English Valleys.

Lindemoen finished with 208 yards and four TDs on seven catches, and he also returned his only punt return for a 57-yard touchdown in the first quarter.

“It’s really awesome, Lindemoen said. “There is definitely more opportunities to make big plays. Screens and short passes go for 70 yards on most plays.”

Baxter had a long day of pomp and circumstance. The coaches, players and members of the community were up at 5:30 a.m. for the Blitz Gameday program hosted by Channel 5.

There were several kid-friendly activities before the game and a pregame tailgate supper with a free-will donation.

Newton first volleyball team proud of its Cardinal legacy

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Giving all the credit to the 31 girls who came out for volleyball the first season — 1987 — at Newton High School is then assistant coach Doree Ward. Ward, a 30-year teacher at NHS, and served as head volleyball coach for four years after the first season.

They knew next to nothing about competitive high school volleyball.

They admit it. Two coaches and 31 players — juniors, sophomores and freshmen — combined to set the foundation for Newton High School volleyball in the fall of 1987.

“We’re proud of what we did that first two years as a team,” JoEllen (Rinehart) Linn said. “It’s pretty special to say we were on the first volleyball team. We’re part of the Newton High volleyball legacy. No, we didn’t win much, but we had fun and helped establish a new sport here.”

Newton’s first state sanctioned high school volleyball team will be recognized on Tuesday. On the 30th anniversary of NHS volleyball, the 2017

Cardinals honor the Cardinals of the 1987 season prior to Tuesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference varsity match, 7:15 p.m., with Grinnell.

There’s a pre-match reception at 5:30 p.m. in the NHS multi-purpose room near the upper gymnasium. The freshman and junior varsity matches begin at 5:30 p.m.

“I had coached volleyball a couple years in northwest Iowa before coming to Newton to teach, but I was a track, softball and basketball person in high school and college. I had never played volleyball except in physical education class,” Doree Ward said.

Defense leads Packers to win over Seahawks in NFC heavyweight match GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — A marquee season opener between two NFC heavyweights turned into a defensive slugfest.

The Green Bay Packers — not the menacing Seattle Seahawks — landed the momentum-swinging punch.

Green Bay defensive lineman Mike Daniels’ strip sack of Russell Wilson deep in Seattle territory in the third quarter set up Ty Montgomery’s 6-yard touchdown run on the next play to spark the Packers’ 17-9 win on Sunday.

“This really started with our defense,” Green Bay coach Mike McCarthy said. “It starts on the line of scrimmage.

We were in the backfield a bunch.”

The Packers’ Aaron Rodgers was 28 of 42 for 311 yards and added a 32-yard touchdown pass to Jordy Nelson to make it an eight-point game late in the third quarter. The Packers went deep to his favorite receiver on a free play that was extended after Seattle was flagged for having too many men on the field.

Rodgers’ regular-season streak of passes without an interception ended at a career-high 251. The Seahawks defense reinforced by the return of safety Earl Thomas bottled up receivers from making many big plays and put plenty of pressure on Rodgers.

But the Packers started denting Seattle with runs or quick passes to Nelson, Randall Cobb and Montgomery in the second half, chewing up clock in the process. A 12-play, 53-yard drive that took up more than five minutes ended with Mason Crosby’s 40-yard field goal with 8:01 left to make it a two-score game.

Green Bay’s defense had an even better debut, especially considering how maligned the Packers were against the pass last season.

Seattle managed just three field goals. Wilson was held to 14 of 27 for 158 yards. The Packers held decisive edges in total yardage (370-225) and first downs (26-12). Green Bay held the ball for 39 minutes.

Falcons 23, Bears 17 CHICAGO (AP) — Matt Ryan threw an 88-yard touchdown to Austin Hooper and led two fourth-quarter scoring drives, and the NFC champion Atlanta Falcons held on to beat the Chicago Bears 23-17 in the season opener on Sunday.

The butt of jokes following their epic Super Bowl collapse against New England, the Falcons survived as the Bears missed several chances to score a touchdown in the final seconds.

The Bears had a first down at the Atlanta 5 in the closing minute. Glennon’s pass to a lunging Josh Bellamy on first down hit off the receiver’s hands, and Jordan Howard then dropped a simple catch at the 1.

After another incompletion on third down, Glennon got sacked by Brooks Reed to end the drive.

Atlanta was clinging to a 13-10 lead early in the fourth when a scrambling Ryan fired to a wide-open Hooper near midfield.

The second-year tight end from Stanfordraced up the right side and stiff-armed Quintin Demps on the way to the end zone to make it a 10-point game.

The Bears then went 75

yards, with Glennon hitting rookie Tarik Cohen for a 19yard TD midway through the fourth to cut it to 20-17. Atlanta’s Matt Bryant answered with a 37-yard field goal, making it 23-17 with 3:24 left.

Cowboys 19, Giants 3 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Jason Witten scored the only touchdown while breaking the franchise record for yards receiving and the Dallas defense shackled a New York offense missing Odell Beckham Jr. in the Cowboys’ 19-3 season-opening victory over the Giants on Sunday night.

Ezekiel Elliott had a rugged 104 yards rushing and another 36 receiving two days after a judge halted his six-game suspension over a domestic violence case, although last year’s NFL rushing leader had already been cleared to play the opener.

Dak Prescott was turnover-free while throwing for 268 yards as the Cowboys dominated the NFC East rival that swept them during a 13-3 season that topped the NFC and was fueled by the sensational rookie years for the quarterback-running back duo. Dan Bailey kicked four field goals.

Eli Manning didn’t have Beckham in his 200th straight start after his dynamic top target sprained his ankle in a preseason game.

The Giants were outgained in the first half 265-49 while falling behind 16-0.

Manning was 28-of-37 for 211 yards with an interception and connected with new receiver Brandon Marshall just once, late on a desperation drive with the outcome already settled.

Witten scored the Cowboys’ first touchdown on a 12-yard catch and finished with seven catches for 59, breaking Hall of Fame receiver Michael Irvin’s club record of 11,904 yards.

Witten, already the franchise leader in catches, now has 1,096 receptions for 11,947 yards.

Tigerhawks beat Bolts; Bolts win Tigerhawk Invite

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News COLFAX — Colfax-Mingo’s Tigerhawks recorded two firsts on Saturday. Baxter’s Bolts also had two firsts.

Colfax-Mingo held its inaugural Tigerhawk Volleyball Invitational. The Tigerhawks won the opening match of the tournament, beating Baxter 14-21, 23-21, 15-6.

After losing the opening match to Colfax-Mingo, the Bolts claimed back-to-back victories over Des Moines Hoover, 21-5, 21-6, and Clarke 21-17, 21-11. With the wins, the Bolts captured the first Tigerhawk Invitational championship.They also won their first tournament as the Baxter Bolts.

“I’m very proud of the girls today on winning the Colfax-Mingo tournament,” Baxter head coach Scott Ranck said. “It was a total team effort.

We overcame a little adversity and really got in a groove in defeating Hoover and Clarke.”

Colfax-Mingo also went 2-1 in the tournament. The Tigerhawks lost to Clarke 21-19, 10-21, 15-13 and rebounded with a 21-14, 21-14 win over Hoover.

The tournament title went to Baxter, which had less set losses than Colfax-Mingo. In their three matches, the Bolts went 5-2 in sets while the Tigerhawks were 5-3. Clarke was third and Hoover took fourth.

Medals were awarded to the Bolts and there were medals given to each team’s MVP for the tournament. The team MVPs were senior Jordynn Wesselink of Baxter, senior Ries Wilson of Colfax-Mingo, senior Nadine Garcia of Hoover and junior Ashlynn Oehlert of Clarke.

“It is so exciting. I honestly thought this wasn’t going to happen while I was still in school,” Wilson said of her team’s first-ever home volleyball tournament. “Being close to my home and giving a lot more people an opportunity to come out and support us, it’s great. I love it.”

Colfax-Mingo has two seniors on its squad. Wilson and Megan Earles led the Tigerhawks throughout the tournament, including the come-from-behind win over Baxter. Earles served the final

two points in the second set for Colfax-Mingo.

“It’s so nice to have a home tournament,” Earles said.

“Normally, we leave super early in the morning and are tired when we get there so we don’t play well in our first match. Ries mentioned it in the locker room that this was the first first match of a tournament we’ve won.”

The Tigerhawks jumped out to a 3-1 lead over the Bolts in the first set, but the Bolts rallied to tie it up at 6-all. Senior Sailor Hinegardner served four straight points followed by three points served up by Wesselink to put Baxter on top for good.

Baxter pushed on to win 21-14. Colfax-Mingo came out in the second set on a tear, including three service points from Earles to gain a 4-1 lead.

A kill by Wilson, who had 24 kills for the day, put the Tigerhawks up 8-4.

The Tigerhawks appeared to be on their way to tying up the match, leading the Bolts 16-12. Sophomore Amber Weltha delivered a kill to give the serve back to the Bolts trailing by three points.

Hinegardner went to work on the service line with Wesselink working the net for the Bolts. Baxter tied it up and went up by two, 18-16, on a five-point service run. The Bolts had the serve with set and match point on the line, 20-8.

Colfax-Mingo took the next point and junior Chelsea Russell delivered her only ace serve of the match. The Bolts regained the serve up 21-20 but failed to convert.

With the set tied at 21-all, Earles aced a serve then junior Colbee Cunningham downed a kill for the winning point. The 23-21 victory by the Tigerhawks forced a deciding third set between the two Jasper County teams.

“We came out hot at the start of the match then lost focus. Every tournament I’ve ever played in during high school, we’re always slow in the morning,” Wilson said. “At the end of the second set, we were on a roll, which helped us into the third set. We were going to finish it.”

Leading 3-2, Colfax-Mingo used a six-point serving run by Cunningham to help them finish it against Baxter.

Kyle Larson steals win in NASCAR regular season finale Playoff races start Sunday RICHMOND, Va. (AP) — Kyle Larson and his Chip Ganassi Racing team snatched NASCAR’s last victory Saturday at Richmond before the start of the Monster Energy Cup playoffs.

Martin Truex Jr. had the race easily in hand until Derrike Cope slowed with under four laps remaining.

Larson was second at the time, itching for fresh tires and a shot at the win in overtime.

He took his Chevrolet to pit road, his Ganassi team got him out as the leader, and he held for his fourth victory of the season. That ties Truex for most in the Cup series this season.

“I’m really pumped for the playoffs, we’ve got a really good shot at the championship,” Larson said.

Truex, the regular-season champion, wrecked in overtime while racing for posi-

tion. The entire sequence cost him what seemed to easily be his fifth win of the season.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., meanwhile, was officially eliminated from the playoffs. He’s retiring at the end of the season.

Truex still start the 10race playoff stretch as the favorite to win the championship because he earned the most bonus points during the regular season.

But Larson is hot too, and the Richmond win was his first at a short track in the Cup Series.

“This has been a dream season for me, and we still have a long way to go,” Larson said, Chaos erupted with 140 laps remaining because one of NASCAR’s rescue vehicles clogged the entrance to pit road as cars headed to their stalls. As the traffic bottlenecked, Matt Kenseth ran into the car in front of him, and his night was ended with a crumpled hood.

“I saw an ambulance sitting there,” Kenseth said. “It was an accordion effect and I just couldn’t get stopped.”

He had to watch from the infield because his playoff fates were taken out of his hands. Clint Bowyer, a driver who had to win to get in to the playoffs, might as well has had his night ruined, too. He suffered enough damage in the accident that his car was essentially eliminated from winning contention.

The opening round of the 10-race playoffs Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway.

There will be 16 drivers at the start of the playoffs, and the field will be cut by four after the third race of the series.

Those drivers are Truex, Larson, Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski, Jimmie Johnson, Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Ryan Blaney, Chase Elliott, Ryan Newman, Kurt Bushc, Kasey Kahne, Austin Dillon, Kenseth and Jamie McMurray.

Cy-Hawk Classic: Hawkeyes rally to stun Iowa State AMES (AP) — Quarterback Nate Stanley cemented his status as Iowa’s starter with a big game against its biggest rival — and Akrum Wadley reminded everyone why he’s one of the best running backs around.

Stanley threw a 5-yard touchdown pass to Ihmir Smith-Marsette in overtime and Iowa rallied to stun Iowa State, 44-41, on Saturday, its third straight win over the rival Cyclones.

Stanley threw for 333 yards and five touchdowns in his first road start for the Hawkeyes (2-0), who blew an early 11-point lead before rallying to force overtime on a brilliant catch and run by Wadley.

Iowa’s defense forced the Cyclones to settle for a field goal to open OT. Stanley then found Smith-Marsette, a true freshman, to cap one of the most thrilling games this rivalry had ever seen.

“It was a dog fight,” Wadley said. “We knew we were going to get their best effort.”

Hakeem Butler caught a 74-yard touchdown pass with 4:36 left in the fourth quarter to give the Cyclones a 38-31 lead. But Wadley, one of the nation’s most dangerous players in space, caught a short pass over the middle and shredded Iowa State’s defense to tie it up with 1:09 left.

“The team just kept coming back from bad situations,” said Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz, who improved to 10-9 against Iowa State. “The guys just kept playing, and that’s all you can do in a game like this.”

Jacob Park had 347 yards and four TD passes for Iowa State (1-1), and David Montgomery rushed for 112 yards

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa wide receiver Nick Easley, center, tries to get away from the tackle of Iowa State’s Brian Peavy (10) and Evrett Edwards (4) during the Cy-Hawk football at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames on Saturday. Easley, a Newton High School graduate, is the first Hawkeye player under coach Kirk Ferentz to catch a touchdown pass in his first two games at the school. He had seven catches and a TD in Iowa’s overtime win.

and caught five passes. But star safety Kamari Cotton-Moya missed the second half with a shoulder injury.

“We just couldn’t make that final dagger play you’re going to have to make to beat that team,” Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said.

The Takeaway Iowa: The Hawkeyes defense, which looked so strong in holding Wyoming to three points last week, was worn down by the Cyclones and their talented playmakers in the second half.

Iowa also committed 10 penalties. But Wadley and Stanley bailed their team out with their late-game heroics.

Wadley had 118 yards rushing

and 72 yards receiving.

Iowa State: The Hawkeyes looked like they had put the game away after touchdown drives of 91 and 94 yards put them up 21-10. But instead of folding like they had so often in the past, the Cyclones showed resiliency. Iowa State spread out Iowa’s defense in the second half, and Park found his playmakers time after time. Still, this defeat will sting in Ames for years to come — especially because of who it came against. “I think you’ll find out a lot about our team next week, how we handle and respond to this loss,” Campbell said.

Key Numbers Butler and Allen Lazard

each caught two touchdown passes for Iowa State. ... The Hawkeyes had three drives of longer than 90 yards, and the drive that forced overtime went 89 yards in less than two minutes. ... Iowa was 7-of-15 on third downs, while Iowa State was just 4-of-14. But both teams converted all of their red zone chances.

Butler’s Big Day Iowa State was faced with 4th-and-1 at the Iowa 30 late in the third quarter.

The Hawkeyes blitzed, and Park found Butler all alone in the middle of the field for a touchdown.

Butler also caught what looked like a potential game-winning TD when Iowa

Bolts

Continued from Page 1B None of that bothered the Bolts though as they race out to a 26-8 lead after one quarter.

“I was a little worried because we had never done that before,” Baxter coach Rob Luther said. “It’s a long day. Kids are young and resilient, but it was in the back of mind about how we’d start the game.

“Boy, we started great.

We got some great stops and scored right away.”

Aker hooked up sophomore Cole Damman on an 11-yard TD to start the scoring in the first quarter.

After a defensive stop, Lindemoen returned the first punt of the game 57 yards for a score.

English Valleys got on the board with a 47-yard pass play from Cael Hester to Braydon Fisher to cut the Bolts’ lead to 14-8.

But that’s when Aker and Lindemoen went to work.

The first two touchdown hookups went for 50 and 34 yards in the first quarter. On one of those throws. Aker threw across his body to a wide open Lindemoen who made one move and sprinted to the end zone.

“The play kind of broke down on the right side, so I looked back to the left,” Aker said. “We had a play like that last year where Travis was wide open, too. It felt a lot like that. He was wide open.”

Aker’s ability to keep plays alive was what Luther was most impressed with Friday night.

“He extended plays when we weren’t in a good situation,” Luther said. “When things got close and they started to come back a little, he made a play to keep us in front. He converted a couple big fourth downs, too.”

Lindemoen’s final two TD catches came in the second quarter. The first one covered 57 yards and the second one went for five yards.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Baxter senior Travis Lindemoen, with the ball, had 208 receiving yards and four touchdowns on seven catches during the Bolts’ 64-40 win over English Valleys on Friday. Lindemoen also returned a punt for a touchdown.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Baxter junior Will Clapper, seated, gets greeted by every one of his teammates before the Bolts’ first-ever 8-man home game Friday in Baxter. Clapper had knee surgery Friday morning and is expected to miss at least a few more weeks.

“I have been playing with Travis since second grade,” Aker said. “We know what the other one is thinking.”

English Valleys scored on the final play of the half when Cooper Andreassen got loose for a 30-yard TD pass from Hester.

Hester finished with 222 passing yards, 66 rushing yards and four total touchdowns.

The Bears (2-2) scored quickly in the third quarter to trim their deficit to 40-22.

Aker responded with a

6-yard TD pass to Damman and an 11-yard TD run.

Damman hauled in six passes for 53 yards and two touchdowns.

The two teams traded three touchdowns in the final 2:28.

Baxter’s Devin Carson had a 13-yard touchdown run for the Bolts.

“It was sloppy at times,” Luther said. “We didn’t come out real fired up in the second half. That wasn’t a great five to six minutes. We have to learn to play all 48 and cut back on the penalties.”

The Bolts had 13 penalties in the game, most of which came in the second half.

The Bolts’ first 8-man home game was a success despite the team playing without three key pieces on the offensive line.

Juniors Will Clapper and Brandon Hammer both missed the games with injuries and senior Bryce Bacon continues to sit after a sustaining an injury in the preseason.

Clapper had surgery on his left knee Friday morning. He was seated with his leg elevated in the West end zone. He is expected to miss at least the next few weeks.

Every member of the Bolts’ team greeted Clapper in his chair before they came onto the field.

“Last week was pretty rough for the entire team after he went down,” Aker said.

“Until he gets back, we are playing for him.”

Not having experienced starting linemen on the field, Luther decided that a heavy passing attack was the way to go against English Valleys.

That strategy paid off.

“We knew it would be easier with young linemen to pass block rather than run block,” Luther said. “I knew they’d give us some cushion.

I also liked the matchups on the outside with Lindemoen and Damman. The matchups

safety Jake Gervase rushed the line of scrimmage in the fourth quarter, leaving Butler alone for an easy score. Butler finished with five catches for a game-high 128 yards.

Funky Stats This was just the second overtime game in the history of this rivalry.

Iowa State won the first one in 2011 by the same score, 4441, though that game went to triple overtime. ... Wadley and Smith-Marsette went to the same high school, Weequahic in New Jersey.

Up Next The Hawkeyes host North Texas on Saturday, while Iowa State travels to Akron. just seemed to be there in the passing game.”

The Baxter defense was led by senior Jusson Roush, who had 13 tackles and three tackles for loss.

Damman added 8 1/2 tackles, Aker had 6 1/2 tackles and a sack and senior Marcus Mitchell tallied six tackles and a fumble recovery.

Baxter gets two more home games this season. The Bolts will play three straight on the road before getting two consecutive home games in October.

There was a lot of purple in the stands Friday night, but the atmosphere was a bit different from when the town cheered on the Raiders.

“I looked around a little bit. There was a lot of purple here tonight, but I felt like the crowd was just trying to soak in the 8-man game,” Luther said. “I have been in front of a lot of home games where the atmosphere was electric. This had more of a, ‘what is this going to be like’ feel to it. I felt support, but I could tell they were just watching and learning the game.”

Baxter plays East Union (30) at 7 p.m. Friday in Afton.

It’s said that having too many cooks spoils the soup. Also, having too many soups spoils the cook. Furthermore, as the moon leaves appetite-driven Taurus to double up in Gemini, too many of anything at all will be the temptation, the problem and also, mercifully, the thing that inspires our efficient best.

Whatever you can do to scale back will bring good fortune.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.

11). You’ll do things because you want to, not because you have to. This purpose shift amps up the joy and vitality in your life. You’ll make a hot deal this month and reap the rewards for years to come.

Someone keeps a promise

in November. The new year features winning teams and schemes. Taurus and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 28, 4 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

To give is a human need just as strong as the need to be nurtured and cared for sometimes.

Consider the fact that when you don’t let people help you, you may be stopping them from fulfilling a very real need.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Others would consider what you do very hard work. But to you, this isn’t difficult at all.

Your work isn’t fueled by the energy of your body or mind;

rather, it’s fueled by your purpose, which is a high-octane fuel indeed.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

One way you know that you’re close with a person is that you talk to each other in a way that’s developed over time into something so specific that others on the outside wouldn’t even be able to make sense of it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

A responsibility fell to you, not because it belonged to you so much as that you were just the most caring one around.

As generous as you are, no one can give care all of the time.

How can you now offload some of this?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). British philosopher Bertrand Russell

said, “All movements go too far.” As for you, a cause you used to be passionate about has lost luster in your mind’s eye.

You’ll home in on exactly why.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

This really is a wondrous place to live. If you look out the window and it’s not looking so hot to you, try expanding your field of vision. Widen the view until you reconnect with your sense of appreciation and a pride of place.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It’s said that everyone is fighting a hard battle. When you look at some people, this is very hard to believe -- until you account for the relativity factor, that is.

You’ll extend compassion even when you can’t relate to the problem.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Agree to make mistakes. Commit yourself to the idea. This is the path of winners. You’ll succeed often, and you learn from that, but not as much as you’ll learn from the mistakes, especially if you’re not afraid of making them.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Lazy? You wish! It would be wonderful to switch off your brain and relax. Alas, there’s so much whizzing through it that the only way to feel in sync is to be working.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Learning a new thought process will be easier when you learn a new way to move along with it. Physical movement cements knowledge.

Changing how you move changes who you are.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). To connect with another, you must first enter into that person’s spirit. You don’t have to change yourself to become more like the other person, but a little flexibility on the matter can’t hurt.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You celebrate your productivity as if it’s a victory in life’s game. Just don’t fall into the trap of believing that your worth is all tied in to that productivity. You’re productive because that feels better for you. You’re worthy either way.

coach for the 1987 volleyball team under head coach Ronda Campbell.

Ward said she wasn’t sure if Campbell had played or coached volleyball before that season.

“None of us knew much about volleyball,” Linn said. “We had played volleyball in P.E. We were playing fall softball at the time, but they ended it and we decided to try the new sport.”

Linn was a junior as were Carey (Pickett) Jordan and Karen Smith.

Melanie (Temple) Robuck, a cousin to Linn, was a freshman on the team.

Linn and Jordan live in Newton and Smith lives in Bondurant. Robuck lives in Knoxville.

All four players plan to be at the reunion on Tuesday along with Ward, who has been announcing for NHS volleyball the past 25 years. Ward said they are hoping to have a good group return.

“Newton did play intramural volleyball in the 1970s and went to a state intramural tournament. It was not an interscholastic sanctioned sport at that time,” Ward said. “Newton had some volleyball early on, but we played fall and summer softball here in Iowa.”

Following the adoption of Title IX, the state of Iowa dropped fall softball and added volleyball in the fall to make things equal, Ward said. She said volleyball was becoming more prevelant in Iowa high schools.

“Some teams played for quite a few years such as Dubuque. The sport filtered in across the state,” Ward said.

Ward said a lot of the girls on the first team were softball players. Linn and Jordan fit that bill while Smith was a track athlete. Temple said her family moved back to Newton from Texas, where she had played volleyball.

Ward said she and Coach Campbell did everything together coaching the three levels of teams that season. Ward coached the junior varsity and freshman teams.

“These kids get all the credit in the world. They did not know anything about the sport. We had a huge learning curve, but I can’t say enough about their work ethic. They were willing to try everything we asked of them and did not get discouraged.”

“None of the seniors went out, which I understand,” Smith said. “I said ‘what the heck’ and had two years to play the sport. I enjoyed it in gym class so why not try. It was a season of a lot of learning — the rules and the techniques were so involved. We didn’t fare so well that first year, but I loved it.”

Jordan said all the juniors were athletic and competitive. With the loss of fall softball, the group decided it would be exciting to be part of the new sport — volleyball.

“Since we didn’t know much about the sport, that first year was challenging. I think our competitiveness kept us going,” Jordan said. “For me, a lot of volleyball is

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B “We came into the game knowing it was going to be interesting. We played really hard, did our jobs and made plays happen,” Cazett said. “I love seeing our younger players in there. They always do a great job in practices helping us out.”

Graham got his second interception of the night with 8:20 left in the second quarter. The Cardinal offense was turned over to the younger players, who marked 54 yards seven plays. Dylan Farver had a 20-yard TD run with William Cheng kicking the extra point.

Newton took possession again with 3:09 left in the first half. The Polar Bears’ Terriance Foster tackled Farver in the Newton end zone for a safety.

The Cardinals led 47-2 at halftime. The 45-point halftime lead by the Cardinals triggered the running -clock rule for the entire second half.

Newton took the opening kickoff of the second half, drove 68 yards on 12 plays to score.

Logan Cummins had a 21-yard TD run with Cheng kicking the extra point. Farver added a 14yard scoring run with 13 second left in the period.

“The home crowd here is amazing. You can’t beat it,” Hansen said. “They keep us in the game and become the 12th man on the football field.”

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Sept. 11, 2017 about timing and it took me awhile to figure my timing out. I was a setter.”

Newton played in the Central Iowa Conference. Ward and a couple of the former players said several of the CIC teams already had established volleyball teams.

“We were a close team,” Linn said.

“We were multi-sport athletes and just kept moving forward with it.”

Ward said the coaches would work out “games” for the players to play in practice.

“It was a way to have them work on their skills and have fun with it. That first year it was about just getting the ball over the net — bump, set, spike,” Ward said. “We set goals we knew the girls could reach then re-set goals after they reached the first ones. We did it throughout the season.”

The only way to score points in 1987 was to have the serve. Ward said if rally scoring existed then, the Cardinals would have scored points, but there were many times they were blanked by other teams.

“When I got here, I could serve overhanded and here they were serving underhanded. I did have a step up on most of the girls, but we worked together to learn,” Robuck said. “The coaches were awesome.”

Smith came up with a team sweatshirt idea, putting “We’ve Only Just Begun” on the back of the shirts. Linn, Jordan and Robuck all mentioned the shirts.

“We were a group of determined girls. We were going to get that first win. We had a drive to get better,” Jordan said. “We were going to see it through and that’s why we all came back out as seniors.”

Smith said her asset for the team was serving. She said she had a wicked hard serve and it was a way for her to contribute to the team. Smith said each player had an individual strength which came together for the team.

The 1987 Cardinals were winless.

Campbell stepped down as head coach at the end of the season. Ward took over as head coach for the 1988 season.

“These girls came back out and we got better. We beat Ankeny that second year, which was a huge win for us,” Ward said. “The girls were eager to learn. They were sponges and they could see their progress as individuals and as a team.”

Joining Jordan, Smith and Linn on the varsity team were Chris Martin, Gina Hathaway, Jennifer Rowray, Jill Maharry, Greta Ohler, Angie Koppin, Jana VanderKamp, Tricia Mulbrook and Nichole Johnston. Members of the junior varsity team were Tracy Drew, Shari Maach, Dani Miller, Jenny Boyd, Jeanne Modlin, Michelle Graham, Doris Sliger, Heather Morley, Amy Rose and Laurie McConnell.

“Oh, we had table top talk from Coach Ward,” Linn said. “She would be on top of a table at the net hitting balls at us. We’d not be doing things right and she’d start chastising all of us. We called it her table top talk.”

Robuck played all four years at Newton High. Joining her on the freshman team we’re Amy Dodd, Marni Haws, Dana Goodhue, Chris Beatty, Kim Ehresman, Christine Carl, Jennifer Allen and Amy Bagnall.

“It’s cool to realize you were on the first volleyball team at Newton. It’s special,” Jordan said. “We were a group of girls willing to try something new. I enjoyed it.”

“We stayed positive and support each other. Learning a sport and bringing it to Newton — well, it’s humbling to think I was a part of starting a program. You don’t have to be great at something, but contribute because it’s a team sport,” Smith said.

For Ward, she has seen the progress of Cardinal volleyball from the beginning. After her four years as head coach, she said she knew she had taken the program as far as she could. In that fifth sea-

son, the Cardinals were 11-16-5.

“That was a good leap in five years.

From that point on, this program hasn’t looked back. I new my limitations as a coach and the program was ready to take off but needed someone well versed in the sport,” Ward said. “I was thrilled. I’ve seen it all and it’s a joy for me.”

Enter Leesa Stoffers, who coached Colfax-Mingo’s volleyball program and took it to the state tournament.

Newton’s volleyball program has been under six head coaches in its 30-year history — Campbell, Ward, Stoffers, Kim Florke, Laura Sherratt and current head coach Ashley Carter. All have had success on the volleyball court with the Cardinals.

every phase of the game and got our younger players in to play. We wanted to eliminate mistakes, line up correctly, have no blown coverages and make sure we were doing things right. We didn’t do that last week at Waterloo East.”

Miller had four carries for 74 yards as the Newton rushing attack rolled up 338 yards on Friday. Cazett had five carries for 62 yards.

Sturtz was 3-for-3 passing for 57 yards and one TD. Newton improved to 3-0 and Des Moines North dropped to 0-3. There’s one more week of non-district play for the Cardinals with Burlington coming into H.A. Lynn Stadium Friday for the NHS homecoming game.
