Community conversation to bring light to realities of substance abuse

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News It is often said information is power. The Jasper County Substance Abuse Coalition is hoping to empower students, parents and community members through a Community Conversation on Burdess Su b s t a n c e Abuse at 7 p.m. Sept. 28 at the Newton High School.

The coalition is hosting the event to provide information and resources for parents and community members seeking to know more about the challenges faced within the county and steps that can be taken to protect kids and help those impacted by substance abuse. On hand to speak will be several local presenters as well as Officer Al Fear of the Cedar Rapids Police Department, who will talk about the opioid epidemic in Iowa.

Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess said the program will begin with the coalition explaining its efforts in Jasper County and then Hayley Nemmers of Employee and Family Resources will discuss statistics from the Iowa Youth Survey.

Following Nemmers, Lt. Aaron Groves of the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office will present a video segment of four community members testimonials and

their journey with substance abuse.

“It is very impactful — folks who grew up here in Newton or Jasper County,” Burdess said. “Some of them had very nice upbringings and others didn’t. They are all currently substance abuse free and they will share their journey and how substance abuse affected their lives and the lives of everyone around them.”

The bulk of the conversation will be a presentation by Fear, a 23-year veteran in law enforcement who currently serves as the director the Eastern Iowa Heroin Initiative. Fear travels the state presenting at town hall meeting, conferences and training seminars in an effort to battle the current opioid epidemic. He also founded the community action team “CRUSH of IOWA” which stands for Community Resources United to Stop Heroin which now has more than 500 members and six country chapters across the state.

Fear’s prevention will give insight on the opioid epidemic, including national and local data, drug trends, concerns for first responders, narcane training and community solutions. While the county hasn’t seen epidemic level opioid use, Burdess said, it is moving from east to west and the area is working to stay ahead of the curve.

The conversation will end with the introduction CONVERSATION | 3A

Motivational speaker Marc Mero gets students fired up

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News As he watched Marc Mero’s viral video Tyler Stewart thought to himself; “we’ve got to get this guy.” Stewart, a social studies teacher at Berg Middle School knew if Mero could bring the same emotion in the video to Berg he’d be a can’t miss opportunity for students. Yesterday Mero’s presentation to the students at Berg was everything Stewart was hoping for.

“I saw a lot of emotion out there, which is exactly what I wanted to see,” Stewart said.

“Years down the road they’ll remember this day.”

Making those memories is what Mero does best. A former amateur boxer and professional wrestler, Mero’s biggest matches came against drugs and alcohol.

Mero walked away from a career in professional wrestling, and

with 14 years of sobriety under his championship belt, he’s excited to share his story with others even though it’s not easy to talk about.

“It’s tough to relive these painful memories, but the reward that

I get out it is worth it, to see them learn the importance of treating others with respect,” Mero said.

Mero’s program for kids is simple; be positive, treat others with respect, set goals and be the light in the darkness for others.

It’s the little things that can create big changes Mero said, and there’s no reward more gratifying to him than hearing that he’s made a difference.

“I’ve gotten letters from kids that told me they wanted to kill themselves, but our program changed their lives, it’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen,” Mero said.

As he watched Mero’s presentation Tuesday afternoon, Stewart said it was easy to see the message resonate with students at Berg. Students cheered with Mero, and they cried with him as well, which was the result Stewart was hoping for.

“You need to make kids feel something, tears, excitement, whatever, and they’ll remember that day,” Stewart said.

NHS students raise nearly $900 for hurricane relief Students fundraise at NHS football game

By Kayla Singletary Newton Daily News

Kayla Singletary/Newton Daily Students at Newton Senior High School recently raised nearly $900 to go to those affected by Hurricane Harvey. Pictured are just three of the 15 students who helped raise money at a football game. From left are seniors Morgann Eide, Matthew Karsten and Ali Bestell.

There are a lot of reasons to feel “Red Pride.”

Newton Senior High School Principal Bill Peters said he has a new one after a recent student fundraiser raised nearly

$900 to go toward hurricane relief in Houston.

In the midst of Homecoming celebrations, senior Matthew Karsten still made time to think of others by teaming up with 15 other students to raise money this month.

Karsten said he initiated the idea of a fundraiser after seeing the devastation left by Hurricane Harvey. He said he asked his friends what they thought about working together to raise money at a football

game, and they agreed.

“When some of my classmates supported me, I started to think it was a good idea,” Karsten said. “Then I went and asked Peters and got approval.”

Karsten’s classmates Ali Bestell and Morgann Eide, both seniors, said Karsten can sometimes come up with ideas that are “off-the-wall” or “timely,” but this one was different.

County adding new emergency response capabilities

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Jasper County Board of Supervisors is working to enhance emergency response by adding the Rave Panic Button software for county employees.

The board approved the addition on Tuesday during its regular weekly meeting.

The software will be optional for those employed by the county and will replace an aged panic button system no longer available for updates.

It is an application that can be installed on smart cellular phones and provide immediate communication in emergencies to 911 and local law enforcement.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Wednesday, Sept. 20, the 263rd day of 2017. There are 102 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 20, 1967, the Cunard liner RMS Queen Elizabeth 2 was christened by Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II in Clydebank, Scotland.

On this date: In 1962, James Meredith, a black student, was blocked from enrolling at the University of Mississippi by Democratic Gov. Ross R. Barnett.

In 1973, in their so-called “battle of the sexes,” tennis star Billie Jean King defeated Bobby Riggs in straight sets, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3, at the Houston Astrodome.

In 1984, the family sitcoms “The Cosby Show” and “Who’s the Boss?” premiered on NBC and ABC, respectively.

In 1999, Lawrence Russell Brewer became the second white supremacist to be convicted in the dragging death of James Byrd Jr. in Jasper, Texas. (Brewer was executed on September 21, 2011.)

Ten years ago: President George W. Bush declined to criticize Blackwater USA, a security company in Iraq accused in a shooting that resulted in civilian deaths, saying investigators needed to determine whether the guards violated rules governing their operations.

Five years ago: On a day when thousands of angry Pakistanis tried to make their way to the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, the embassy aired an ad on Pakistani TV showing President Barack Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton denouncing an anti-Islamic video produced in the United States.

One year ago: In their final speeches at the annual gathering of world leaders, U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon railed against leaders who kept “feeding the war machine” in Syria, while U.S. President Barack Obama said there was no military solution to the five-year conflict.

Today’s Birthdays Actress Sophia Loren is 83. Actress Kristen Johnston is 50. Singer The Dream is 40. Actor Charlie Weber is 39. Rock musician Rick Woolstenhulme (Lifehouse) is 38. Actress Crystle Stewart is 36. Rapper Yung Joc is 35. Actor Aldis Hodge is 31.

That’s Odd Dirty money?

Wads of cut-up cash found in Geneva toilets GENEVA (AP) — Talk about flush with cash.

A Geneva official has confirmed a newspaper report that said wads of cut-up 500-euro notes (about $600 each) mysteriously turned up jammed into the toilets of three neighborhood restaurants and a bank in separate episodes in recent months.

Prosecutor’s office spokesman Henri Del.la Casa confirmed Friday’s report in the Tribune de Geneve, saying the shredded notes were once worth tens of thousands of euros in total.

Preliminary clues from an investigation suggested the bounty once belonged to unnamed “Spanish women who had placed the loot in a Geneva vault several years ago,” the report said.

10 Things to Know For Today Your daily look at late-breaking news, upcoming events and the stories that will be talked about today: 1. MEXICO QUAKE DEATH TOLL RISES TO OVER 200 Rescuers and volunteers dig in the rubble of collapsed schools, homes and apartment buildings looking for survivors after the 7.1 magnitude temblor, the country’s deadliest in 32 years.

2. EXPERTS SAY BELLICOSE RHETORIC RINGS HOLLOW Without a diplomatic roadmap to try to compel Kim Jong Un to give up his nuclear weapons, Trump’s threat to “totally destroy” North Korea likely won’t change the isolated leader’s behavior.

pany’s crumbling infrastructure and force the government to rebuild dozens of communities.

4. US, IRAN TO HOLD HIGH-LEVEL TALKS Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and his Iranian counterpart will attend a EU-hosted meeting about the nuclear accord that Trump has called an “embarrassment.”

5. WHAT HAS ISRAEL CONCERNED With Assad seemingly poised to survive the Syrian civil war, Israeli leaders are nervous about the intentions of his backers in Tehran and Iran’s growing influence across the region.

Entertainment In ‘Battle of the Sexes,’ King passes a baton to Emma Stone TORONTO (AP) — Walking through a tunnel alongside Billie Jean King at the grounds of the U.S. Open, Emma Stone gasped at the size of its main court.

King, of course, was more familiar with the sprawling tennis center in Queens, New York — it’s named after her, after all (the stadium itself is named after another tennis legend, Arthur Ashe).

But as accustomed as Stone is to the spotlight, her playing fields are usually private film sets or more intimate television show audiences.

In making “Battle of the Sexes,” a new film about King’s infamous 1973 showdown with Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell), Stone was often both awed and a little jealous of the stages on which King crusaded for sport and for women’s rights.

(King helped win equal prize money for women at the U.S. Open that same year.)

In tennis, the lines are clear, the scoreboard is final and a landmark victory against sexism could go down in straight sets.

“It’s just such a longer conversation in the movie industry,” Stone said in an interview shortly after watching the women’s finals with King earlier this month, which saw Sloane Stephens capture the trophy. “When I look at a tennis match, whoever wins at the end, the prize money should be equal. There are so many moving parts in how that comes to pass on a

film to film basis. But of course things need to be changed.”

“Battle of the Sexes,” which Fox Searchlight will release Friday, is in some ways a time-traveling experience back to the 1970s and the chauvinism of another era.

But the film, directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, also seems very much of today, coming less than a year after a bruising presidential election often fought over gender lines. And King’s fight for pay equality — she helped launch the female-only Virginia Slims tennis circuit after objecting to the disparity between male and female prize money — also has clear reverberations for Hollywood’s own issues in compensating men and women equally.

Stone has spoken about pay equality in Hollywood. In July, she said she has previously insisted male co-stars

close the pay gap by cutting their salaries.

She acted out of inspiration from King and some of her own contemporaries, like Jennifer Lawrence. Lawrence penned an essay in 2015 about pay disparity after emails from the Sony hack revealed she had been paid less than her male co-stars in “American Hustle.”

“It becomes a difficult topic just for me because other people might have answers that I haven’t come to in fixing the industry at large, but because of the circumstantial nature of it — the way the budgets inflate or go down from movie to movie, or year to year the way a person’s career moves,” Stone said.

“Every industry should be thinking about that,” added the 28-year-old actress. “It’s my world. Tennis is Billie Jean’s world. But it matters across the board.”

Local & State News Conversation Continued from Page 1A of coalition members and resources and providers available in the community. Those providers will then be available at booths in the cafeteria area following the event for further questions. “Parents or community members can go talk to the various groups there, and if they need further resources or have questions, they can get those right there without hav-

ing to make an appointment with a counselor,� Burdess said.

Events for the conversation will kick off a day earlier on Sept. 27 with a similar presentation for the students at DMACC. Students at NHS will also take part in a paired down presentation created specifically for high school students during the final period of the day prior to the community conversation. “The students will have an opportunity to receive some of the training and the goal

Speaker

Continued from Page 1A Student council members at Berg fundraised for a year in order to cover the $5,000 appearance fee, but student council president Maggie Garrett said the experience was worth it. “He touched base on everything, and I think this is something that’ll motivate others not to do drugs. It was a good reminder of our purpose in life,� Garrett said.

Setting goals is a big part of Mero’s vision, and on Tuesday he urged students to write down their goals to give themselves a visual reminder. For Garrett, that really resonated. “It was very eye-opening. I’m so glad that he covered everything,� Garrett said.

Relief “I thought it was pretty cool,� Eide said. “You don’t have to know the people or be a part of their town to help.�

Eide said she also had a personal connection to the recent hurricane destruction. “My grandparents live in Florida, so I know what it’s like to be worried about loved ones,�

Eide said.

Once NHS students received the go-ahead, they walked around with a hat to collect money during a recent varsity

The NCSD has been involved with the coalition since its start and superintendent Bob Callaghan said he is excited for the work it has already accomplished and where it is

After Mero publicly admitted using anabolic steroids as a professional wrestler he started appearing on television, speaking out against the dangers of drug abuse. Mero has a “death list� with the names of 31 professional wrestlers that have since died and has been insistent the business needs greater regulation.

It wasn’t long before he was invited to speak to kids and high schools in Florida, and once his video went viral, he was speaking to kids across the globe. Mero visited 293 schools in 35 states last year alone and said he’s on pace to beat that record this year. “I just want them to know that they’re not alone. We all go through storms in life, some you walk through, some you run through,� Mero said. “Don’t give up.�

Bestell said the trio has since developed other ideas to raise money for not only hurricane victims but for other local causes. The students also noted that not every fundraiser has to take weeks or months to plan. “It was really nice to see something positive happening and to do something that will make

The app covers all emergencies including an active shooter, fire or a medical occurrence along with buttons for the police and 911. As a part of the technology, geo-fencing will be set up among several county buildings, including the courthouse, annex building, community center, law center, engineer’s building, attorney’s office and the armory, to map out the campus profiles in the system.

By geo-fencing the buildings, the app identifies the layout of the area on a map to determine where the emergency is happening and bringing help to the exact location quicker.

The new system will replace a decades old panic button technology current housed in the dispatch office. Select offices throughout the county have an actual button

The Rave system has a one time cost of $500 per building to install the geo-fencing and a $3,000 yearly fee, a special price down $2,000 from the typical $5,000 per year cost.

A concern over a public records search request should county employees add the app to their personal phones was voiced prior to the board’s approval.

Jasper County Attorney Mike Jacobsen said, as he understands it, the panic software doesn’t put anything on the phone other than the app itself, and he doesn’t think it would trigger any records stored on the phone.

Eaton said he thought the system could be up and running within a few weeks after the geo-fencing is installed and employees are notified and trained on how to use the app.

Sparks said, and to implement a new on-site server the county would have to completely start over with costs starting at $11,000. “It gets rid of some old, old technology in dispatch. It fails sever-

La La Land I

t was a perfect afternoon to wait for a stranger, bright and sunny with the faintest hint of a breeze, just enough to rustle the leaves in the courtyard. I’m no stranger to oddities, but this was a curious errand even for me, I’d come to Starbucks in Beverly Hills to wait for a man who called himself Johnny Hanukkah.

We’d come to make an exchange that had been more than a year in the making.

I’d come to recover an antique gold watch, a blue tie dotted with pink octopi and most importantly, an eagle scout medal.

In return, I had a black cocktail dress, size 8, and pair of black high heels to trade.

After a flurry of text messages we’d arranged to meet on a Tuesday afternoon to close the books on a failed Hollywood romance.

It hadn’t always been like this, in the beginning Joseph and Christine seemed like the perfect pair, a summer romance for the ages. They tore up the dance floors from Burbank to Santa Monica, always the center Los Angeles’ swing dancing

So It Goes David Dolmage scene. They made were for each other, and when Joseph proposed, giving her his Eagle Scout Medal in lieu of an engagement ring, everyone agreed they were the perfect pair.

Everything has its season and by fall, cracks started to show in that perfect facade. They drifted apart, sitting at different tables in Joe’s, neither deigning to look at the other. By winter it was over.

When a relationship ends there’s always a million loose ends, floating endlessly in the ether. It’s like an imploding star, friends and family sucked into the endless black hole.

It took a year, and thousands of text messages after Christine and Joseph broke up to arrange this tete a tete at Starbucks.

Like the middle east peace process, both sides angling to get the best deal. Joseph was desperate to get the medal back, he’d spent an entire summer in high school

renovating benches in a Whittier Park to earn it. For Christine, her life had become the movie “La La Land,” and it was nearly time for the credits to roll.

I was nearly finished with my coffee when Hanukkah walked in, clutching a battered J Crew shopping bag. At my feet sat a similarly worn Banana Republic bag, Joseph had neatly folded the dress before placing the shoes on top that morning.

He didn’t bother to order, he just lay the bag down on the table before sitting down. Maybe because we were so close to Hollywood, it was easy, to imagine myself as Indiana Jones in the Temple of Doom, cutting a deal with Shanghai crime boss Lao Che. I checked the bag, and then said a quick goodbye.

I’d tied up one of those ends, but what about all the others? Things end every day, and there must be a million Eagle Scout medals out there, tucked away in drawers. I didn’t have to go very far to find the answer, just around the corner in Hollywood was the Museum of Broken Relationships. Tucked into a small space at 6751 Hollywood Blvd., the museum was a block away from the famous intersection

of Hollywood and Highland.

An original creative art project conceived by Olinka Vištica and Dražen Grubišić in 2006 the museum is a repository of love and loss. The first location opened in 2006 in Zagreb and has grown to include a satellite location in Los Angeles. All of the items in the museum’s collection are donated, and each one is accompanied by an anonymous note, which explains the provenance of each piece.

Intended as a statement about the ways we love and lose, the collection itself is varied. There’s a three volume set of Proust, a faded tank top, and even a gingerbread cookie. Alone, these things might be little more than bric brac of everything life, but it’s the stories submitted by their unknown donors that makes them feel weighty.

After a hour or so, I wandered back out into the LA sunshine, carefully clutching the battered J Crew shopping bag. I still had to meet Joseph to return his medal. It might seem like a small thing, but sometimes that’s all we have left at the end.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

The end of the First Amendment Last week, I visited the University of California, Berkeley.

The preparations for the visit were patently insane. First, the school charged the sponsor group, Young America’s Foundation, a $15,000 security fee. Then, the school blocked off the upper level of the auditorium, fearful that radicals from the violent far-left-leaning group antifa would infiltrate the speech and begin hurling objects from the balcony onto the crowd below. Finally, the school ended up spending some $600,000 on additional policing, including the creation of cement barriers and hiring of hundreds of armed police officers for a prospective riot.

All this so that I could deliver a speech about personal responsibility and individualism.

Good for Berkeley for doing its job. Bad for the students and outside agitators who made it necessary. Unfortunately, the bad actors are becoming more prominent and more popular. At The University of Utah, we’re already hearing rumors of unrest. And, according to an astonishing new survey from Brookings Institution, such idiocy is set to multiply: A full 44 percent of students said that the First Amendment does not protect “hate speech”; a majority of students, 51 percent, said that they would be in favor of students shouting down a speaker “known for making offensive and hurtful statements”; Nineteen percent of students said the use of violence against controversial speakers would be acceptable.

This is full-scale fascism, and it’s gaining ground.

Meanwhile, administrators are caving. At Middlebury College, administrators have adopted a policy that explicitly states, “Only in cases of imminent and credible threat to the community that cannot be mitigated by revisions to the event plan would the president and senior administration consider canceling the event.” At DePaul University, I was pre-emptively banned from campus last year after students got violent with another speaker. At the University of Wisconsin-Madison, police left students who decided to storm the stage while I was speaking to their own devices; administrators reportedly told the police not to remove the agitators and to cancel the event if they felt it necessary to do so.

At California State University, Los Angeles, administrators allegedly told police to stand down rather than fight near-rioters getting violent with those who would attend one of my speeches.

Both students and administrators should take a lesson from Berkeley.

First, administrators: Security is necessary for the free exercise of the First Amendment.

Right now, there’s an expectation that police will be prevented from doing their jobs; that’s why groups like antifa roam free. At Berkeley, they knew better: The police were armed with pepper spray and told to arrest anyone in a mask or with a barred weapon. The result was 1,000 protesters and no serious violence. That was after months of actual brutal violence in the streets of Berkeley. Other campuses must take note.

Second, students: Get a grip. I spoke at Berkeley without incident, and we actually had productive discussions with a number of students on the left. Everybody left with more information than they had coming in. Discussion never hurt anyone. But both the heckler’s veto and the fascistic worldview that fuels it do.

Despite promise to stop, man resumes watching pornography DEAR ABBY: Can you tell me why men watch porn? My husband watches porn on the computer at all hours of the night. When I found out about it six months ago, he promised he would stop doing it, but I just realized that he still goes online and watches it when I’m asleep at night and early in the morning.

Our sex life has diminished to almost nothing. I considered blocking the site on his computer, but is that a good idea? Please help me. How can I compete with this? — FEELING DISRESPECTED DEAR FEELING: Men watch porn because they are turned on by the visual. You have a right to a sex life, but meddling with your husband’s computer won’t fix your problem. Because your marital needs are not being met, frame your conversation with him that way. He may be addicted to online porn and unable to stop watching without a professional intervention.

P.S. Please stop comparing yourself with what your husband is viewing on screen, because what he is seeing isn’t real. It’s show business. And it’s about as authentic as “Guardians of the Galaxy.”

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been married 13 years and have two young sons. She’s a free spirit. She likes to independently make a lot of decisions that affect us both. This has led to arguments about what should or should not be decided on together.

We have had years of counseling with multiple professionals. Frankly, I feel she ignores my opinions and concerns if I don’t agree with her position on an issue. She will commit to a compromise, then turn around and do what she wants anyway.

Recently, she brought up having permanent eyebrow makeup done on an international trip she was taking without me. I asked her to wait until she returned so we could discuss it fur-

ther before she jumped into it. Despite promising not to, she did it anyway, and I think it looks awful.

I’m left feeling my trust in her has been further damaged and I have a reminder of it staring me in the face on a daily basis. How can I trust her in the future? How can I get past looking at her ugly choice every day? — DISGUSTED IN ARIZONA DEAR DISGUSTED: If “years of counseling” haven’t worked for the two of you, I think it’s fair to conclude that you and your wife have a troubled marriage. While some might say that it’s your wife’s face and what she puts on it is her business, if a daily reminder of her broken promise to you is a deal-breaker, it may be time to consider whether you can forgive her or if it would be in everyone’s best interests to go your separate ways. In marriage there is supposed to be compromise. If you are staying because of your sons, take into consideration that because your relationship with your wife is dysfunctional, the tension your boys are exposed to on a daily basis is not healthy.

TO MY JEWISH READERS: At sundown tonight, Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year, begins. As we begin this time of solemn introspection, I would like to wish you all “L’shana tova tikatevu” — may you be inscribed in the Book of Life and have a good year.

Some businesses pledge to keep $10.10 minimum wage IOWA CITY — Some businesses in an eastern Iowa county are pledging to retain a $10.10 base wage for their employees, despite the Legislature nullifying the local minimum wage boost. The Johnson County Board of Supervisors voted two years ago to use three 90-cent increments to increase the $7.25 minimum wage. The Legislature voided the ordinance in March, saying it was unenforceable. The Iowa City Area Chamber of Commerce surveyed its roughly 900 members after the Legislature’s decision.

SIOUX CITY — County officials have approved emergency repairs to an aging Iowa courthouse with several deteriorating columns. The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors approved the work Tuesday for the courthouse in Sioux City.

The work is scheduled for October and will take roughly a week to complete. It’s expected to cost roughly $22,000, less than the $50,000 originally predicted.

City officials seek occupants for old barge KEOKUK — An eastern Iowa city is seeking business occupants for an old casino restaurant barge. Keokuk accepted the old Davenport Rhythm City Casino restaurant barge as a donation in May, and now city officials are deciding what to do with it. The barge was on the market for two years with a nearly $400,000 price tag, but no prospective buyers emerged. Keokuk City Administrator Aaron Burnett says the city will look to partner with local businesses that want to occupy the 300,000-square-foot barge.

COUNCIL BLUFFS — A Council Bluffs man faces an attempted murder charge for allegedly trying to run over a police officer in an attempt to escape authorities. Jamie Kennedy, 27, was arrested Sept. 12 in connection to the June 2 incident. Police say officers recognized Kennedy and one of them pulled his cruiser into the driveway where Kennedy was parked. Another officer approached Kennedy and ordered him out of the car. Police say Kennedy intentionally turned his truck toward the officer and accelerated at him.

Trooper gets jail, probation in man’s drowning VERSAILLES, Mo.

Trooper Anthony Piercy will serve the “shock time� in the Morgan County jail for the May 31, 2014, death of Brandon Ellingson, 20, an Arizona State student who was pulled over for suspicion of boating while intoxicated while partying on the Lake of the Ozarks.

Alleged drunk driver crashes vehicle on First Avenue West Newton Daily News A one-vehicle crash led to the arrest of an alleged intoxicated driver early Tuesday morning.

The driver, 25-yearold Riley A. Hodge, of Newton, was arrested following a crash that occurred just before midnight in the 500

block of First Avenue West. He allegedly lost control of his vehicle, drove onto a sidewalk and struck a nearby tree.

Witnesses told police Hodge left the scene on foot. Officers located Hodge in the DMACC parking lot in the 600 block of North Second Avenue West later that

Hodge admitted to police he was the driver of the vehicle left the scene. He faces charges of operating while under the influence and failure to provide proof of financial liability.

Hodge was arrested and taken to the Jasper County Jail.

Groups express concern about voter ID law DES MOINES (AP) — Proposed rules for Iowa’s new voter identification law will add unnecessary complications that could make it harder for people to vote, according to several voting advocacy groups.

The American Civil Liberties Union of Iowa, the League of Women Voters of Iowa and six other groups offered a joint statement on the proposed administrative rules as part of a public comment period.

They believe the rules could hurt people of color, low-income individuals, the elderly and the disabled. “We know that when it’s harder

and more complicated for people to vote, that essentially disenfranchises them,� said Daniel Zeno, policy council for ACLU of Iowa.

Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate has consistently dismissed such allegations, which were also raised last spring when the law was being debated in the Republican-controlled Legislature. Pate has instead emphasized his office’s commitment to voter integrity and ensuring no eligible voter is turned away at the polls.

There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the state.

DES MOINES (AP) — An Iowa woman who says she was wrongly ticketed by an automated traffic camera when she wasn’t speeding has accomplished the unusual feat of getting the state Supreme Court to consider her $75 smallclaims case.

For Marla Leaf, 67, it’s not about money, but about constitutional rights. Her attorney, James Larew, will argue Wednesday that the city of Cedar Rapids, where Leaf lives and was ticketed, is violating equal protection and due process clauses of the Iowa Constitution in part because it delegates police power to Gatso USA — the private, for-profit company hired to run the equipment.

Leaf ’s case, which the Iowa Supreme Court has combined with another case with similar arguments involving six vehicle owners, is unusual because small claims rarely make it to the state’s highest court. “It shows that what seems sometimes like the smallest case can actually involve really major issues,� said Drake University law professor Mark Kende.

Such cases are closely watched by other communities with automated traffic equipment, much of which is run by private companies.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says

142 communities in the United States use automated speed camera systems and 420 have automated red light cameras.

Leaf was driving her Ford Mustang home from an eye doctor’s appointment on Feb. 5, 2015, when the automated speed camera system on Interstate 380 in Cedar Rapids clocked her at 68 mph (109 kph) in a 55 mph (89 kph) zone.

She recalls the roads were icy and she was driving so slowly that cars were passing her on both sides. Leaf, who had never had a speeding ticket, insists she was traveling between 50 and 55.

Cases involving traffic cameras have been appealed before to federal and state courts on various constitutional grounds, but it’s unusual for the Iowa Supreme Court to take a case already considered once on appeal. The cases to be heard Wednesday were assigned to the Iowa Court of Appeals last year and in February the court ruled in favor of the city. Leaf and the other ticketed vehicle owners sought and were granted further review from the Supreme Court.

One of their arguments is based on the fact that semitrailers and government vehicles are not ticketed by the automated Cedar Rapids interstate cameras.

DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented on the Iowa Crop Progress and Condition report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October.

“There are a handful of fields across the state that have been combined, but we are likely a week or two away from widespread harvest. We are seeing corn being chopped for silage and seed corn harvest taking place across the state,” Northey said.

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ia.

Cardinals run in Cardinal Invitational

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News On a bright sunny, warm and breezy day, Newton High’s cross country athletes ran their home course with confidence in Tuesday’s 41st annual Cardinal Invitational. They ran the 5K races on Westwood Golf Course along with 11 other teams.

Newton’s girls placed fifth in the varsity race with 156 points. Des Moines Roosevelt, ranked No. 11 in Class 4A, was the team champion with 41 points in a field of 11 teams. Southeast Polk was second with 51 points.

Class 3A’s 11th-ranked Grinnell finished third with 74 points and 3A No. 8 Pella was fourth with 82 points.

Four Little Hawkeye Conference teams — Grinnell, Pella, Newton and Oskaloosa — went 3-4-5-6. The Cardinals edged Oskaloosa by two points as the Indians scored 158 points for sixth.

In the boys’ varsity race, it was all Class 3A top-ranked Dallas Center-Grimes, another LHC team, with 33 points for the team victory. Grinnell, which is ranked No. 4 in 3A, was second with 66 points and Oskaloosa was third with 94 points. Newton finished ninth with 246 points in a field of 10 teams.

Capturing the individual titles for Tuesday’s Cardinal Invitational were Class 3A second-ranked Mary Blanchard, a sophomore from Grinnell, and 3A 15th-ranked Malachi Hornbuckle, a senior from Nevada, in 19 minutes, 49 seconds and 17:01, respec-

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton junior Rachel Rhoads leads a group of varsity runners over a bridge during the 5K race at Tuesday’s Newton High Cardinal Invitational cross country meet. Rhoads was Newton’s top runner in its home meet, taking the 15th-place medal in the girls’ varsity race. The Cardinal varsity girls were fifth as a team and the varsity boys placed ninth in their division.

tively. DCG’s boys placed six runners in the top 10 spots.

Newton’s top performance of the meet was turned in by junior Rachel Rhoads. Rhoads claimed the 15th-place medal in the girls’ race with a finishing time of 21:54.

Junior Clare Muckler ran 23rd in 22:44 followed by freshman Ashay Malow in 28th at 23:30. Senior Tessa Keeton placed 43rd in 25:30,

senior Original Tesfay was 47th in 24:56 and sophomore Jenna Smith took 56th in 27:32.

“It was another warm one today, but the girls came prepared,” Newton girls’ head coach Rachelle Tipton said.

“They competed well and had great pushes at the finish.

Most everyone ran faster than Oskaloosa last week.”

Leading the Cardinal boys

was junior Adam Hunter, who finished in 21st in 18:45.

Sophomore Luke Zaabel was 48th in 20:20 followed by seniors Dylan Main, 20:27, and Chad Nolin, 21:01, in 50th and 59th, respectively.

Freshman Anthony Bestel, freshman Trent Hamand and sophomore Addison Dunwell finished in 68th, 69th and 70th, respectively, in 23:36, 25:08 and 25:09.

“We ran alright tonight, but with only nine current runners, we get a huge point spread in our scoring portion of varsity,” Newton boys’ head coach Steve Weeks said.

“It is still a team goal to get all varsity runners under the 20-minute mark so we need to keep plugging away to meet that.”

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News OSKALOOSA — Powering the Newton High Cardinal net attack Tuesday, senior Alexis Hoffman pounded down 12 kills. She also put up four solo blocks and had one block assist for the Cardinals in their Little Hawkeye Conference match against host Oskaloosa.

Unfortunately, the fiveset match did not go Newton’s way. The Indians pulled out a 25-22, 21-25, 25-10, 20-25, 15-10 win to

snap their four-match losing streak. The Cardinals dropped their 10th match in a row.

Newton (2-11) fell to 0-4 in LHC play while Oskaloosa (5-11) claimed its first conference win, 1-3. The Cardinals host Class 2A No. 12 Pella Christian at 7:15 p.m. on Thursday at Newton High School in conference action.

Hoffman was also credited with six digs in the match. Senior libero Carter Lee had 16 digs followed by seniors Rachel Berkland and Harlie Durr with 10

digs and nine digs, respectively. Senior Audrey Lucas had six digs.

Senior Lucy Lilienthal and Berkland each had seven kills at the net. Lucas and senior Madison Bleeker had two kills apiece. Bleeker and Lilienthal put up one solo block apiece.

Freshman setter Kate Callaghan had 28 set assists. She also had four kills and one block assist at the net. Callaghan served up five aces.

Lucas had one ace serve.

BAXTER — North Tama’s three-set win over the Baxter volleyball team on Tuesday said more about the ranked Redhawks than it did about the Bolts.

Baxter played very well in spurts and can take a lot of positives away from the match, but Class 1A No. 8 North Tama was simply better during a 25-16, 2517, 25-12 in Iowa Star Conference South Division play.

The Bolts were playing in front of their home fans for the first time this season, and they got off to a fast start in the opening set. North Tama though used a strong stretch of serving to flip the script, and the Redhawks were in control the rest of the way.

“We played very well tonight, especially in the first two games,” Baxter coach Scott Ranck said.

“North Tama does a lot of things well. They pass it well, the defense is very good and they have a really strong hitter on the outside. They are ranked for a reason.”

The really good hitter on the outside is sophomore Katie Kopriva, who came in the night ranked second in 1A with 233 kills. But junior hitter Karly Jans was strong at the net, too, and sophomore libero Takoa Kopriva led a defense that rarely let balls find open holes.

The only real advantage Baxter held on the night came early in the first set. The Bolts used some homecourt energy to lead 8-5 early in the opener. Senior Jordynn Wesselink powered the lead with two kills and an ace during that stretch.

North Tama chipped away at

its deficit and then Jans served up three straight aces to put the Redhawks in front for good.

The Bolts stayed close during the early stages of set two as well.

Sophomore Amber Weltha’s kill tied the set at 3-all and then back-to-back aces by sophomore Bekka Watt kept Baxter (5-5 overall, 1-1 in the ISC South) close.

The Bolts took the lead on two Redhawk errors, and a kill by senior Mary Schabilion made it 9-7. A stretch of five straight points gave North Tama (17-3, 3-0) a lead it wouldn’t surrender.

Baxter girls finish second, boys fourth at West Marshall

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

STATE CENTER — Baxter’s cross country teams competed in the West Marshall Invitational on Tuesday evening.

Without its No. 2 runner, the girls’ team placed second to host West Marshall, and the boys finished fourth but were four points out of second place in a very competitive field after champion South Hamilton.

The Class 1A No. 10 Bolt girls did not have the services of junior Lauren Ratliff but still placed three in the top six positions. They were just 13 points behind West Marshall, which is receiving votes in the latest 2A poll.

South Hamilton, ranked ninth in 2A, had three of the top four positions to win the team title easily, but the next four teams were separated by five points.

Junior Brenna Thomson was the runner-up in the girls’ race. She finished in 21 minutes, 31.11 seconds. West Marshall’s Avril Sinning won the race in 21:16.76.

Senior Ashlee Johnson placed fourth overall in 22:17.33 and freshman Kailee Conradi took sixth in 23:14.03.

Sophomore Holly Jessen was 11th in 24:09.11 and the final counting runner was junior Piper Larson in 35th with a time of 30:17.99.

West Marshall won the title with 36 points.

Baxter scored 49 points

in second followed by Collins-Maxwell (78), South Hamilton (85) and Colo-NESCO (103).

The Baxter boys put three runners in the top 10 overall.

Junior Ian Thomson finished fifth, sophomore Logan Berg was sixth and junior Josh Bruntz placed 10th.

Ian Thomson, who battled a sinus infection recently, started the season with times under 18 minutes. His fifth-place time was 18:20.95 on Tuesday. Berg finished sixth in 18:46.91 and Bruntz was 10th in 19:12.01.

Sophomore Will Hitchler finished 38th in 23:14.32, junior McCade Gowdy was 49th in 24:21.44 and junior Brendyn Padget placed 52nd in 24:41.32.

Freshman Sean Finch finished 54th in 24:59.35, and sophomore Christian Brandt took 61st in 27:46.27.

South Hamilton’s Josiah Brown won the race in 17:33.36.

The Hawks scored 32 points to win the title. West Marshall was next at 94 points, BCLUW finished third in 96 points, Baxter placed fourth with 98 and Collins-Maxwell ended up fifth with 99 points.

Ankeny Christian Academy (109) and Colo-NESCO (167) also were in the field.

The Bolts won’t compete again until 4:30 p.m. Tuesday in Nevada.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Baxter senior Ashlee Johnson finished fourth at the West Marshall Invitational on Tuesday at Lincoln Valley Golf Course in State Center. The Bolts were missing their No. 2 runner Lauren Ratliff and still placed second as a team.

No. 7 Gilbert sweeps PCM

Bolts Continued from Page 1B “It’s a lot of work playing a good team. They just kept coming at us,” Ranck said.

“When we were aggressive at our offensive end, we gave them some problems. When we hit something at them that they were able set up, it was tough. They wore us down a little bit.”

Kopriva kept the Bolts at arm’s length with three kills down the stretch of the set.

The left-handed right-side hitter finished with a matchhigh 14 kills on the night.

“We moved our libero (Sailor Hinegardner) over to the right side to help with the cross court attack,” Ranck said. “I thought for the most part we covered her up pretty well.”

North Tama, which has only been defeated by 1A No. 1 Janesville and 5A No. 7 Pleasant Valley this season, flexed its muscles a bit in the third set.

The Bolts trailed 4-2 early, but the Redhawks used a 7-0 run to pull away. The lead eventually grew to 20-6 before Baxter scored six of the final 11 points to make it respectable.

“We had 17 errors in the final set,” Ranck said. “They scored only eight points themselves in that game. I am not saying we would have won that game, but we can’t have 17 errors in a set.”

Weltha led the Bolts with eight kills. Wesselink and Schabilion finished with six kills and four digs, junior Sydney Schmidt dished out 10 assists and served up three aces and senior Lexi Ewing handed out four assists and three digs.

Hinegardner led the Bolts with 10 digs.

Baxter missed nine serves in the loss.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News GILBERT — Prairie City-Monroe’s volleyball team ran into a strong Gilbert squad Tuesday night on the road.

The Tigers defeated the Mustangs in three sets, 25-11-, 25-7, 25-10 during Heart of Iowa Conference play.

Gilbert, which has won nine of its last 10 matches, served up 17 aces in the win. The Tigers (14-7 overall, 3-0 in the HOIC) were led by freshman Thea Rotto’s 10 kills, senior Bree Richard’s 33 assists and senior Megan Goodhue’s 19 digs.

PCM (8-12, 1-2) has now lost six of its last nine matches. Statistics for the Mustangs were not available at press time.

The Mustangs play in the Roland-Story tournament at 4:30 p.m. Monday in Story City. They host Nevada at 7 p.m. on Tuesday in Monroe.

Cubs win in Maddon’s return to Trop, extend streak to seven ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Back at Tropicana Field, Joe Maddon got to show off his Chicago Cubs.

Mike Montgomery took a no-hit bid into the sixth inning, Kyle Schwarber hit his 28th home run and the Cubs extended their winning streak to a season-high seven by beating the Tampa Bay Rays 2-1 Tuesday night.

Maddon managed the Rays from 200614, then left to manage Chicago and last year led the Cubs to their first World Series title since 1908. Chicago is closing in on its third straight postseason berth, holding a 3½-game lead over second-place Milwaukee in the NL Central.

Tampa Bay remained five games behind Minnesota for the second AL wild card with 11 to play.

A crowd of 25,046, the largest at the Trop since opening day, gave Maddon a standing ovation after a scoreboard tribute in the middle of the first inning.

Montgomery (7-8) allowed one hit in six innings, a one-out homer in the sixth by Brad Miller. Montgomery struck out six and walked none after pitching just two innings in his previous start 10 days earlier.

Freshmen giving Iowa offense a major boost IOWA CITY (AP) — For much of his tenure at Iowa, coach Kirk Ferentz largely avoided playing freshmen.

He has changed his mind on newcomers — a shift that has helped revitalize Iowa’s offense.

There are true and redshirt freshmen up and down the depth chart for the Hawkeyes, who are 3-0 heading into this weekend’s Big Ten opener against fourthranked Penn State (3-0) in part because of how productive their newcomers have been. Five of Iowa’s 13 touchdowns so far have been scored by freshmen.

“That’s big. That’s just them paying attention to detail. They’re sharp, and they’re maturing,” senior Akrum Wadley said.

Ferentz became more receptive to the idea of using freshmen ahead of the 2015 season as part of a larger overhaul of the program.

This year’s freshmen class could be as talented as any that Iowa has ever had.

A gruesome elbow injury forced senior running back James Butler to the sidelines of last week’s 31-14 win over North Texas. With Butler out until the end of October, Iowa has turned to freshmen Ivory Kelly-Martin and Toren Young as Wadley’s backups. Both looked like potential stars in their debuts.

Kelly-Martin ran for 74 yards and two touchdowns on just 11 carries. Young, a redshirt freshman who put forth a standout performance in Iowa’s spring

game, had 78 yards on 19 carries.

“Our plan will be to utilize all three. The good news is that the other two guys did a good job on Saturday. It was a good chance for them to get their feet wet,” Ferentz said of Kelly-Martin and Young. “They’re in there now.”

One of the linemen opening holes for Kelly-Martin and Young was freshman Alaric Jackson, who could be in line to become Iowa’s next standout left tackle.

Jackson, a 6-foot-7, 320-pounder from Detroit, was in the Hawkeyes rotation to start the season. But Jackson became more important after Iowa lost senior tackle Ike Boettger to a season-ending Achilles injury on Sept. 9.

The fact that Iowa has entrusted left tackle to Jackson is a strong barometer for his future given how many Hawkeyes

who’ve played that position under Ferentz have gone on to have NFL careers.

Newcomers also have given the Hawkeyes a big boost in their passing game, which has been much stronger than expected so far.

Imhir Smith-Marsette caught the game-winning TD in overtime against Iowa State, and tight end T.J. Hockenson’s first five receptions have all gone for either a first down or a touchdown.

Ferentz’s changed philosophy on playing freshmen also has had a positive effect on sophomore quarterback Nate Stanley.

Though Stanley burned his redshirt to throw nine passes in 2016, he said that the experience of being the No. 2 quarterback has helped him get off to a fast start this fall. Stanley leads the Big Ten with 10 touchdown passes.

Chase Elliott’s NASCAR title chances take hit with penalty CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Chase Elliott suffered a setback to his championship hopes when NASCAR penalized his Hendrick Motorsports team Tuesday for a modification to his Chevrolet in the opening round of the playoffs.

The aerodynamic modification was found in postrace inspection following Elliott’s second-place finish on Sunday at Chicagoland.

The finish is now considered “encumbered” by NASCAR and Elliott does not keep a playoff point he earned with a stage victory

at Chicagoland.

C r e w chief Alan Gustafson was fined $25,000 and suspended one race, and car Elliott chief Joshua Kirk also was suspended one race.

The team was docked 15 driver points and 15 owner points.

The loss in driver points dropped Elliott from sixth place to eighth place in the postseason standings.

There are two races remaining in the opening round of the playoffs.

Hendrick Motorsports said it won’t appeal the penalty and Kenny Francis will step in for Gustafson this weekend.

The issue with Elliott’s car surrounded a piece of tape applied to the rear spoiler in what other teams believed was an effort to gain more downforce. Photos and videos were presented to NASCAR that appeared to not only show the tape, but also a crew member removing the tape following the race.

Kasey Kahne to stay in NASCAR, will drive for Leavine in 2018 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Kasey Kahne will stay in NASCAR next season and drive for Leavine Family Racing in the No. 95 Chevrolet Camaro.

He will replace Michael McDowell, who has driven that car since 2014.

The announcement Tuesday was not unexpected, but Kahne last week revealed he’d given consideration to piecing together a dream schedule of big races in different series.

Although he stressed his first goal was to remain in NASCAR, his idea led at least one IndyCar owner to inKahne quire about Kahne’s availability for the Indianapolis 500.

Instead, he will move to a mid-level race team that is trying to move up the ladder.

“We look at this as an opportunity to go to the next level,” said team owner Bob Leavine. “This deals partially with performance, because obviously, Kasey is a playoff-caliber driver. He has a wealth of information being with a larger organization like Hendrick Motorsports, and we think that will help us. We also look at this as an opportunity for marketing to be able to sell sponsorship.”

Leavine will continue his alliance next year with Richard Childress Racing.

Kahne has been with Hendrick Motorsports since 2012, but the team bought him out of his contract for next season. He became a free agent shortly after his win at Indianapolis Motor Speedway in July earned him a spot in the playoffs. Kahne had a rough opening round to the playoffs at Chicagoland, where he finished 21st and is 15th in the 16-driver field.

Kahne’s crew chief was replaced on Monday.

CITY OF KELLOGG SEPTEMBER 11, 2017 Kellogg City Council opened the meeting reciting the “The Pledge Allegiance.�

Kellogg City Council met in regular session with Mayor Frymoyer presiding.

Council members present: Foster, Avery and Hinshaw. Absent: Campbell and Wertz.

Motion by Avery and seconded

by Hinshaw to accept the minutes as mailed and the financial statements as prepared.

Passed unanimously.

Ray Hunter addressed the council concerning his street and side walk after the street repair.

After the completion of the street repair his side walk is now lower than the street. Neighbors are parking on the side walk instead of parking on the street. Avery will call Manatts to get this corrected.

Randy De Rues inquired if there have been any fines on the letters that were sent out. Wertz is absent this meeting and has the information from the Attorney.

He also inquired about what is being done on the property at 411 First St. and at 309 Depot St. A letter was written by Craig Schwartz concerning his neighbor's property. He would like for the council to have the junk and vehicle cleaned up.

This is unacceptable to have a resident turned into a junk yard.

This devaluates everyone's property.

This needs to be corrected.

A report from engineers Veenstra & Kimm Inc. concerning the Front street was addressed. The report recommends a simpler and less expensive option be considered first.

Rather than trying to manage the storm water once it reaches the building, they recommend diverting the storm water elsewhere before it reaches the building. This would involve the following work items.

Clean out the ditches, clean culverts and replace culverts as necessary at Front Street and Bolton Street to keep the storm water moving along Bolton Street and not turn and flow west down Front Street.

Clean out the ditch and culverts and replace the culverts as necessary along the north Side of Front Street between High Street and Bolton Street to keep the storm water within the north ditch of Front Street and not crossing to the South side of Front Street.

Install an area intake over the existing storm sewer at the alley entrance on the south Side of Front Street between High Street and Bolton.

This work can be done by City employees or a local contractor and does not require the services of and engineer.

The Engineer also evaluation the wastewater lift station at Reuel Ave. The Council will continue to study the evaluation and compare it to the suggestion from Electric Pump.

Tom Rawlins will continue renting the land at Northfield with the same terms.

Maintenance reported Van Maanen's Electric has checked out the Tennis Court lights.

The Mercury bails is no longer available.

They will need to install LED lights.

OneThousand-watt light are $1300 each and Four Hundred watts are $800 each. Council would like to view the difference in the amount of light. Calvin will check this out.

Motion by Avery and seconded

by Foster to present the bills.

Passed unanimously.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You already know not to base your self-worth on people’s reactions to you. Still, sometimes it’s hard not to take the various moods of your loved ones a little too personally.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Today you will make a stellar impression, partly because of your careful attention to your appearance, and mostly because you are the best listener around.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When do you make the sensible choice? When it makes sense

to you! Going against your heart or swallowing your passion makes no sense at all to you, and neither does the option that will cause you to wonder “What if?�

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The circumstance of the day may have you feeling like a new adult, entering the workforce astounded at the drudgery of some jobs, wanting to be free like a child again.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Just because you devote a large portion of your life to one thing, that doesn’t mean you’re defined by it. You’re not one thing. No one is. To defy strict categorization today, you will show the world some other sides.

Aquagirls swim against Bobcats, Warriors

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News WAUKEE — NCMP’s Aquagirls defeated Marshalltown 63-38, but lost to Waukee 7922 in a double dual swim meet on Tuesday hosted by Waukee.

“We had a solid meet against Waukee and Marshalltown,” NCMP head coach Sarah Patterson said. “Overall, it was a good meet for us. We look forward to the Valley Invite on Saturday and two meets next week — Tuesday away at Perry and Thursday at home against Atlantic.”

Lindsay Blommers continues to lead the NCMP breast-

strokers as she claimed a 100yard race win at Waukee. She also recorded a personal-best time in the 100 freestyle race.

No individual times nor Blommers complete results from the meet were available at presstime.

Patterson said Jessica Zahn looked strong in posting a season’s-best time in the 500 freestyle. Lakin Jenkins had two varsity wins over Marshalltown in the 50 freestyle and 100 backstroke.

“Julia Prime had a great meet as well, notching a season’s best in both the 50 free and 100 backstroke. Briahna Teague set a personal record in the 100 breaststroke,” Patterson said.

Kinzi Van Wyk had a personal best time in the junior varsity 50 freestyle and looked strong, Patterson said. Rachel Boll had personal best times in both the 50 freestyle and 100 backstroke. Boll won the junior varsity 50 freestyle.

“So fun to see Rachel swim well as she works incredibly hard,” Patterson said. “Courtney Dawson won the junior varsity 200 freestyle with a season best time.

Molly

Newton

Coy had a personal best in the 200 IM and broke 3-minutes and also posted her best 100 free time on the 400 free relay.”

McKenna Brooks and Chloe Kibbee both posted good times in the 100 fly and had fast splits in the 50 fly on the medley relay, Patterson said. She said Natalie Boll and Arabella Eide continue to look strong in our mid to distance freestyle events.

The Aquagirls compete at noon on Saturday at the West Des Moines Valley Invitational.

Fowler comes up big in Cardinals’ 10-inning win CINCINNATI (AP) — Dexter Fowler is doing everything he can to get the St. Louis Cardinals into the playoffs Fowler hit a tying homer in the eighth inning and a go-ahead double in the 10th, helping the Cardinals knock off the Cincinnati Reds 8-7 on Tuesday night.

Yadier Molina and Paul DeJong also connected for St. Louis, which was swept by NL Central-leading Chicago over the weekend and had dropped

four of five overall. Juan Nicasio (4-5) pitched 1 1/3 innings for the win and Tyler Lyons got two outs for his third save.

The third-place Cardinals (78-72) remained six games back of the Cubs in the division. St. Louis also is in the mix for a wild card after missing the playoffs last season.

Fowler led off the eighth with a drive to center off Kevin Shackelford for his 17th homer, matching his career high in his first year with St. Louis

despite missing a chunk of the season due to injuries. He also went deep Sunday against the Cubs and came up just short in a bid for another homer.

The Cardinals’ winning rally began when Tim Adelman (5-11) hit Kolten Wong with a pitch leading off the 10th. Tommy Pham flied out to right field, but Fowler lined a double into the right-field corner. DeJong added a twoout RBI single.

Cincinnati got one back on

Scooter Gennett’s 26th homer.

But Adam Duvall flied out to center before Lyons retired Scott Schebler and Patrick Kivlehan to end the game.

Cardinals rookie Jack Flaherty lasted just two innings in his fourth major league start. Reds rookie Jackson Stephens was charged with five runs and five hits in 3 2/3 innings.

The teams combined to use 16 pitchers, eight for each team.

Continued from Page 1B Newton’s freshmen lost to Oskaloosa 25-22, 10-25, 15-10. As a team, they served 55-of-58 with 11 aces, and had 17 kills at the net. Tess Brunsmann went 11-of11 serving with two ace serves, and had three kills, eight set assists and two digs.

Jamie Rogers had five kills and three ace serves while Riley Davidson had two ace serves, two set assists and two kills.

Jerrica McGuire had three kills and one ace serve. Kayli Greer had two kills and one ace serve.

Nykole Hernandez made five digs and had one kill. Haley Fuller had two ace serves and one kill. Lainey Hull had two digs and Trenity Conley went 1-of-1 serving.

The freshman and junior varsity matches start at 5:30 p.m. Thursday at home against Pella Christian.

“Some girls run at Indianola Thursday, others Saturday in Minneapolis, then we are in to the last part of the season,” Tipton said. “We are starting to hit our stride, but it would also be great to see those fall temperatures.”

Running in the boys’ junior varsity race were senior Blake Robson and freshman Dakota Gooden. Robson placed 99th in 24:08 and Gooden ran 145th in 29:34.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High sophomore Luke Zaabel works his way around the 5K course in Tuesday’s Newton Cardinal Invitational cross country meet at Westwood Golf Course. Zaabel was the Cardinal varsity boys’ No. 2 runner in the meet finishing 48th. Junior Adam Hunter was the No. 1 runner for the Cardinals, taking 21st.

“This coming week is a hectic one as we get ready for the junior varsity running at Indianola on Thursday and varsity traveling to the Griak in the Minneapolis on Saturday,” Weeks said. “Starting next week we should be running at our full force of 12 runners and start placing better where we know we can be.”

Newton High’s teams compete at 4:30 p.m. Thursday at Indianola. Varsity runners will compete at 3:30 p.m. Saturday in the Roy Griak Invitational meet in St. Paul. Minn.
