Ukrainian artist visits Newton

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News Newton residents will have a little extra art in their lives for the next weeks thanks to a program sponsored by Newton’s OPEN program. OPEN, which is an acronym for Organization Promoting Everlasting Neighbors, has brought artist Viktoriia Fil from the Ukraine.

During her visit to Newton, Fil will teach a number of different classes as she makes her way throughout the community.

OPEN board member Sveta Miller said the goal is to expose as many Newton residents as possible to Fil’s artwork. The artist will visit with Newton residents at the

high school and middle schools, the Salvation Army, Progress Industries, Park Centre and even a local 4-H group.

“We want to try and catch people at different stages in their lives,” Miller said.

The goal of OPEN is to increase cultural aware-

ness and expose Newton residents to new experiences. OPEN maintains a relationship with Smila, Newton’s sister city in the Ukraine, which is where Fil hails from.

Miller hopes that as Fil participates in community events around Newton that residents will be

spurred to learn more about other cultures.

“I hope that after they participate in these events they’ll find that even though we may differ we have a lot of similarities,” Miller said.

On Monday the Newton Community School District board will have a new look.

Board members S h a r i B e n son and A n d y Eb er t will finish out t h e i r Callaghan terms and newly elected members Graham Sullivan and Cody Muhs will step in to take their place. The board will also look at several other issues, including a review of the special education plan, and a new proposal that’ll change the way academic ineligibility is handled at Berg Middle School.

Administrators at NCSD have been working to set the direction of special education services in the district for the past two years. In a work session on Monday night prior to the school board meeting, they’ll present their findings to the board.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan said administrators have been collecting data from special education teachers in the district in order to build a more comprehensive plan that will better serve students.

Administra-

tors creating a listening post to gather input from teachers, and they’ve narrowed that input down into three primary priorities: time, resources and professionalism. By documenting teachers’ needs, Callaghan said administrators can narrow their focus to give teachers the tools they need to be successful in the classroom.

“We want to find out what we need to give our kids in special education to close the gap with their peers,” Callaghan said.

Part of the issue the district is facing is a deficit relating to special education costs. On Monday the district will ask the school board to approve a plan to move a negative balance of $389,147.62 from the 2016-2017 school year onto the budget for fiscal year 2019.

It’s common for districts to run a negative balance for special education, according to Callaghan, because the costs commonly exceed the state’s allotment. In the 20162017 school year the district will receive $6,664 for each student, and the allotment is increased for special education students.

Special education students are divided into three groups, with students in level 1 receiving funding 1.72 times above the $6,664, level 2 at 2.21 and level 3 students 3.74.

The levels are determined for each student with an Individualized Education Plan, which is updated every year by school administrators. Currently, there are more than 350 special education students in the district.

On this date: In 1949, the Soviet Union exploded its first atomic bomb.

In 1950, Omar N. Bradley was promoted to the rank of five-star general, joining an elite group that included Dwight D. Eisenhower, Douglas MacArthur, George C. Marshall and Henry H. “Hap” Arnold.

In 1957, the TV series “Maverick,” starring James Garner and Jack Kelly, premiered on ABC. In 1964, the musical “Fiddler on the Roof,” starring Zero Mostel, opened on Broadway, beginning a run of 3,242 performances. The secret agent series “The Man from U.N.C.L.E.,” starring Robert Vaughn and David McCallum, premiered on NBC-TV. In 1975, Sara Jane Moore attempted to shoot President Gerald R. Ford outside a San Francisco hotel, but missed. (Moore served 32 years in prison before being paroled on Dec. 31, 2007.)

In 1982, the situation comedy “Family Ties” premiered on NBC. In 1993, 47 people were killed when an Amtrak passenger train fell off a bridge and crashed into Big Bayou Canot near Mobile, Ala. Ten years ago: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice spoke briefly with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki at the United Nations, but they did not discuss a Baghdad shootout involving guards from Blackwater USA that claimed civilian lives.

Marcel Marceau, the master of mime, died in Cahors, France, at age 84.

Five years ago: President Barack Obama campaigned before a crowd of 18,000 in Wisconsin, the home state of GOP vice-presidential candidate Paul Ryan.

In the aftermath of the killing of the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans, residents of the Libyan city of Benghazi protested at the compounds of several militias, vowing to rid themselves of armed factions and Islamic extremists.

One year ago: Prosecutors charged a white Oklahoma police officer with first-degree manslaughter less than a week after she killed an unarmed black man on a city street, saying in court documents the officer “reacted unreasonably.” (Betty Shelby was acquitted in May 2017 of manslaughter in the death of Terence Crutcher.)

That’s Odd Better late than never? Library book returned 78 years later ATTLEBORO, Mass. (AP) — It took nearly 80 years, but a book borrowed during the Great Depression has been returned to a Massachusetts public library.

Americans were polarized.

Now, a half-century later, “Star Trek: Discovery” lands in a nation that seems no less burdened, while the new show’s mission is unchanged from the series that spawned it: to enter the future with hope and face the present with courage. It is an upbeat tone as much as a taste for adventure that has propelled the “Star Trek” franchise through so many TV and film iterations. Now comes the eagerly awaited “Star Trek: Discovery,”

“Even though this first season is set against the backdrop of a Klingon-Federation conflict, it’s really about finding the Starfleet way to get OUT of the conflict,” says Gretchen J. Berg, an executive producer and co-showrunner with Aaron Harberts. “How do you end the war and still maintain the ideals the Starfleet confederacy is all about? To that end, there will be hope, there will be optimism, there will be people trying to be the best version of themselves, which is something I think we really need

Local & State News School Continued from Page 1A This additional funding helps, but Callaghan said that it doesn’t begin to cover all of the costs associated with special education. In past years the overage has run as high as $1.2 million, and under Callaghan’s watch, costs have been steadily decreasing. Last year, the district had a negative balance of $616,851 in special education. “Our goal is not to run in the black, our goal is to serve these kids as close to possible to the funding that we receive,�

Callaghan said.

NCSD administrators have reduced the shortfall by working towards greater efficiency, which is one of the goals of the special education plan that administrators have been developing. “We’ve asked teachers for their input on what priorities they have, we want to find ways

to help them meet their goals,�

Callaghan said.

New plan proposed for BMS athletic eligibility At Berg Middle School students also have goals to meet, and under a new plan developed by athletics director Steph Langstraat, those goals will be shifting. Langstraat will present a proposal to the board Monday that will change the way academic eligibility is handled at the middle school level for extracurricular activities.

Previously, Langstraat has reviewed grades for all students in extracurricular activities every week, and if a student was receiving a failing grade, they’d be suspended for the following week. Checking grades weekly is a lengthy process however, and Langstraat’s proposal would simplify the process.

Negative feedback from parents about the current plan was also a factor in the change, Langstraat said.

Langstraat

straat said she’s acknowledging middle school athletics seasons are often short, and she doesn’t want the proposal to feel like a punishment for students. “We’re just trying to hold them accountable and give them an opportunity to fix things,� Langstraat said. “We want to troubleshoot the issues they’re having.�

While administrators are still waiting on full approval from the school board they have been quietly rolling out the change to parents and students. Coaches in all of the fall sports included the change in their pre-practice meetings to get the word out to parents, and feedback has been positive so far.

Teacher Darin Tisdale also coaches the 8th-grade football team. As he watched his team run through drills on the practice field Thursday night Tisdale said he’s heard nothing from good things about the new policy from parents. He’s a supporter of the plan, feeling

Tisdale

Under the new plan, student grades would be checked at the midpoint of the quarter, which is Sept. 26. If they are failing a class, they’ll become ineligible for two weeks, and they’ll be required to attend two study hall sessions after school with Langstraat before they can return to practice. When the first quarter at Berg ends on Oct. 25, Langstraat will check the grades again. In practice, Langstraat will effectively be checking the grades on a monthly basis instead of a weekly basis.

In choosing to hold students out for only two weeks, Lang-

be a great fit to continue working with those members,� Holmes said. “Let’s do what we can to move Newton forward into the future for the next generation of Newton residents.�

Berndt III previously ran as a mayoral candidate in 2015 and has since become active in city government through the Downtown Grant Review Board. He has coined the slogan “Rollin’ in a new era� for his 2017 run.

Hawley is the current executive director of Thunder Nites bike night in Newton. Terlouw, Berndt III, Holmes and Bookout all also previously put their names in for the temporary opening of the at-large seat which was filled by former council member Jeff Price.

Hansen has served as Newton’s mayor since 2012 when he took over for then-mayor Chaz Allen. He was elected to the position in 2013 and 2015 with the mayoral race taking place every two years.

Bookout said when asked why he was running for mayor that he believes an elected official that runs unopposed is not really an elected official. “Myself and my fellow citizens are desiring major change in how the city of Newton is ran,� Bookout said. “I believe that I can bring this change.�

Also on the ballot is Dean Stonner who is running unopposed for the Ward 2 seat and incumbent councilman Steve Mullan is running unopposed for re-election to the Ward 4 position.

The election will be held Nov. 7.

The most recent event advertised was the 25th Bowlful of Blues which took place in early September. Rogers said event organizer Elaine Mattingly shared that she thought there were many more people present at the start of the concerts than in years past rather than attending only the later shows.

Another event advertised for August was Thunder Nites bike night in

Fil said she’s excited to visit Iowa and see cardinals in their natural habitat, something she’d never seen before coming to Newton. “It’s exciting to see all of the landscaping here and finding out more about the trees and flowers that are native to Iowa,� Fil said.

Miller, a Ukrainian native, originally connected with Fil through her mother, who still has

downtown Newton. The organizers were appreciate of the coverage but discussed covering either the first or final event of the season, which typically have additional activities along with the bike night.

Advertisements ranged from print and radio ads to online and social media promotions and television spots on CW23 and its morning program. Rogers said many of the advertisers were already contacting her about future advertisements to showcase upcoming events.

After discussing previous mar-

many contact in Ukraine, and after exchanging information on Facebook, Miller knew right away they’d found the perfect artist to bring to Newton. “She’s really talented and we’re really excited that we found her,� Miller said.

Painting is Fil’s primary medium, and her style is reminiscent of traditional Ukrainian craft and decorative arts. This type of work is less and less common in the Ukraine, and to learn her craft, Fil has had to become anthropological archaeologist, meeting and working with older residents to learn these skills before they’re

it teaches kids to be responsible and helps prepare students to meet the challenges of high school. “I think overall it’s a policy that holds kids accountable for academics first and athletics second,� Tisdale said.

Tisdale said he had several students on last year’s team who had to sit out for academic issues, and he’s hoping this system will give students more time to address the issues they’re facing in the classroom.

He hasn’t heard any negative feedback from parents yet about the new plan, but since the first grade check hasn’t taken place, students have yet to face any negative consequences. “We want to help parents keep kids accountable,� Tisdale said. “We want to keep an eye on what’s going on in the classroom.�

keting efforts, the board moved on to future advertising for the fall and winter months. A popular idea was to showcase the Newton Housing Initiative program and the new housing developments underway in the city along with the $10,000 cash bonus for purchasing a newly constructed house. The board also mentioned the lighting at the courthouse as a possible featured event.

Before Miller reached out to her, Fil wasn’t aware of Smila’s sister city relationship with Newton, and she was surprised to learn Iowans were interested in learning more about traditional Ukrainian design.

She’s enjoying her visit to Newton so far, and she marveled at the differences between Newton and Smila. While she’s here she also wants to learn more about American Indians, one of her favorite subjects. Miller said she’s excited to show Fil around Newton, and to renew the bonds of the sister city relationship.

Goodbye Cassini

Trending Mike Mendenhall

S

aturn eclipsing the sun is an event, I’ve conceded, I’ll never see in person. But I have seen it in print. I would like to say thank you to the engineers, mathematicians and scientists who’ve spent the last 20 years working on the Cassini Space Probe. You are artists.

The image shows the rings and gassy clouds of Saturn backlit by beams of sunlight. The true image looks like painted canvas, showing the artistry of the universe. Like the “Blue Marble” taken by the crew of Apollo 17 and “Pillars of Creation” taken by the

Hubble Space telescope before it, the image stands as the peak of success for a mission now complete.

NASA’s Cassini probe gave its last words Friday in one final radio transmission as the spacecraft performed its grand finale plunge into Saturn’s thick atmosphere. At 1.2 billion kilometers (900 million miles) away, no human was present to see Cassini’s final nose dive, but we all can gain more insight into our own humanity for its accomplishments.

Cassini sent the first lander to outer solar system body with active

precipitation and weather — Saturn’s yellow, shrouded moon Titan. The Huygens lander showed us what scientists had already predicted, Saturn’s largest moon has lakes of liquid methane, and the moon’s clouds actively produced rain of the same chemical.

Methane on Titan flows like water on Earth, with rivers, streams and lakes slowly reforming the planet’s rocky landscape through erosion over millions of years.

At an average speed of 450 meters per second, Cassini’s 13 years orbiting Saturn included analysis of the planet’s outer and inner atmospheric layers, examining its complex ring system and flying through salty water vapor plumes jetting from beneath the icy crust or the moon Enceladus. Cassini determined a subsurface ocean ex-

ists on Enceladus, containing similar chemical make-up to Earth’s oceans.

Cassini has helped make the case for serious research into life beyond Earth but within our own solar system. Cassini was $4 billion well spent.

I’ve written on Cassini’s success before. What the probe learned and shared in its lifetime will forever change how we view our existence.

Carl Sagan once said, “The nitrogen in our DNA, the calcium in our teeth, the iron in our blood, the carbon in our apple pies were made in the interiors of collapsing stars. We are made of starstuff.”

Thanks to Cassini, we now have a little better understanding of where we fit in with the other “starstuff.”

So Anyway Dana King

There just has to be a solution Unless you’re from my generation or the parent of someone growing up in the 60s or 70s, you probably won’t get the reference. But every single time I open my Tupperware cabinet trying to find a lid to match the molded plastic bowl, I find myself emulating Muttley’s “rashin’ frashin’” comments under my breath.

I just hate that cabinet.

I’m an organizer. It’s how I make it through the day — a place for everything and everything in its place. I wouldn’t sleep nights any other way.

But that stupid cabinet ... it’s the exception to the rule.

When my kids were little, I remember spending a lot of time on the floor placing those orange, yellow, green and red plastic rings on the rocking pillar. Over and over and over. Then they advanced to the toys where we’d put the different shaped blocks in to the corresponding hole of some kind of contraption. Of course, there were always “nesting” toys around. I remember thinking how smart my little human beings were they could fit each brightly colored object inside one after the other.

Then they became teenagers.

Suddenly nothing fit anywhere.

Clothes that came out of their drawers wouldn’t fit back in to their drawers once they took them out to just look at a shirt they’d worn 50 times. Clothes I had washed, dried and hung or folded and stacked neatly on shelves in their closets were never placed back quite the same way once they entered and exited the closet dressing for school in the mornings.

That situation sort of worked itself out, for the most part, once they entered adult life and established their own residences — although, I continue to threaten my two oldest home-owning kids, Josh and Avery, that one day I will show up in their driveways with boxes of Hot Wheels, baseball cards, Polly Pockets, Beanie Babies, prom and winter formals and all that other “stuff ” in my basement they insisted I hold on to for them. (Since Carson is still in college and still an apartment dweller, he falls under a “grace period.”)

However, with the kids gone, somehow that Tupperware cabinet remains in disarray.

I’ve tried to come up with solutions for storing those containers that cause me such angst. And it’s not just me.

I have to listen to Mick’s tirade each morning as he rummages through the same cabinet looking for the elusive lid to the chosen bowl.

So anyway...

I think it’s finally time for action. I’m going to look for an answer on Pinterest. I’m pretty sure if I’m not able to find the resolution there, one simply doesn’t exist.

At that point, I think we’ll just start eating lunch meat sandwiches. I keep a very tidy drawer for the Ziploc bags.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Some tax-exempt hospitals are lax at providing charity care, accountability Garnishing wages. Turning over accounts to collection agents. Withholding services until an individual’s ability to pay is proven. These might seem like the practices of a big bank in the news for financial scandals. Instead, these tactics have surfaced at unexpected places: some of the country’s nonprofit, tax-exempt hospitals.

A woman seeking treatment for leukemia at MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston said the hospital refused to admit her before she produced $105,000 in cash. The University of Chicago Medical Center pushed to steer poor, uninsured patients with non-urgent needs to local clinics instead of admitting them to its emergency room. A Mosaic Life Care hospital in Missouri referred low-income patients to its in-house, for-profit collection agency for debt collection without offering charity care. I was astounded when NPR and ProPublica shared their investigative findings on the extent of Mosaic’s collection operation.

A recent investigation by Politico shows these practices are ongoing, with some nonprofit hospitals continuing to improve their revenue while reducing their charity care for the poor.

All of this is contrary to the philosophy behind tax exemption. In exchange for the taxes they’d have to pay if they were for-profit businesses, nonprofit hospitals are supposed to provide treatment for those who can’t pay or can’t pay enough toward the cost of their own care.

These hospitals are required to make their payment assistance programs clear to everyone who walks through the door. Patients should know whether they’re eligible for financial help.

The arrangement is a compact between tax-exempt hospitals and the entities that grant tax

The Scoop U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley exemption. Federal, state, and local governments forgo billions of dollars in taxes to tax-exempt entities that have been deemed to meet a pressing societal need.

I’ve been evaluating and investigating tax-exempt hospitals for more than a decade. Most of them work hard to meet their obligations and care for low-income patients to the best of their abilities. But when the wheels fall off at certain hospitals, they fall off badly. Such hospitals seem to forget that tax exemption is a privilege, not a right. In addition to withholding financial assistance to low-income patients, they give top executives salaries on par with their for-profit counterparts. Early on in my oversight of tax-exempt hospitals, the congressional Government Accountability Office concluded that nonprofit hospitals and for-profit hospitals were virtually indistinguishable in their levels of uncompensated care.

All of these findings made clear tax-exempt hospitals should be more transparent about how they meet their obligations. At my and others’ encouragement, the IRS put out a Schedule H form specifically for tax-exempt hospitals.

In 2009, Congress enacted provisions I co-authored to impose standards for the tax exemption of charitable hospitals for the first time.

These include requiring a hospital complete a community needs assessment once every three years and adopt and publicize its financial assistance policy. The law prohibits billing those who qualify for financial assistance at the top rates. It bars a hospital from taking extraordinary collection

actions if the hospital hasn’t made reasonable efforts to notify patients of its financial assistance policy.

A key requirement is an IRS review of the tax-exempt status of each hospital every three years.

The IRS has fulfilled that requirement so far. The agency has completed 968 reviews of tax-exempt hospitals for compliance with their charitable obligations under the law. It made 363 referrals for field examinations for a deeper look and said this work will continue. One hospital reportedly decided to give up its tax exemption, finding it unnecessary.

The IRS is right to monitor compliance with the law and consider enforcement actions where appropriate. For the provisions to have the positive effects that Congress intended, hospitals need to know that consequences exist for failing to comply.

Mosaic Life Care, the Missouri health care system in the headlines for aggressive debt collection practices, ultimately forgave $16.9 million in patient debt.

That’s good news, but it came only after media investigation of its disturbing practices and a persistent inquiry from me as a U.S. senator. It shouldn’t take a herculean oversight effort for tax-exempt hospitals to follow the spirit and letter of the law on charitable obligations. Hospitals should do the right thing when no one’s looking. But in case they don’t, the IRS is required to keep them on track.

Enforcing the law is a matter of fairness for the many taxpayers who pay what they owe and subsidize the good works of tax-exempt organizations for the public good.

Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley represents Iowa. He is chairman of the Judiciary Committee, and a senior member and former chairman of the Finance Committee, which has jurisdiction over tax-exempt policy.

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.

Iowa Barn Tour Foundation’s all-state barn tour Saturday, Sunday Some 100 historic restored barns throughout Iowa will be opened to the public during the Iowa Barn Foundation’s free, self-guided, all-state barn tour from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Most barns on tour have been restored with matching grants from the Iowa Barn Foundation.

Other property owners received awards of distinction from the foundation for restorations they undertook themselves.

The Iowa Barn Foundation, an all-volunteer, non-profit or-

ganization founded in 1997 by a group of folks with Iowa roots, raises money from individuals, foundations and corporations to give matching grants to property owners to restore their barns. The barns must be restored as closely as possible to original. The property owner must sign a perpetual easement when receiving a grant.

This is the only group of its kind in the country.

The purpose of the tour is to encourage barn preservation in the state, to teach young people about Iowa’s rich agricultural her-

itage, and to renew pride in this unique heritage. Owners will discuss the barns and their histories at many stops. Visitors are expected from around the country.

The effort has encouraged barn preservation throughout Iowa and beyond.

The tour is free although donations to support the foundation’s work are appreciated.

For barns on tour go to www. iowabarnfoundation.org.

Son’s health problems cause dad to question his parentage DEAR ABBY: My first marriage ended in divorce 35 years ago because my wife had cheated on me several times. I suspected then that I wasn’t my daughter’s biological father. Lately I have been wondering about my son, too. Both are in their late 30s now. Obviously, I decided to accept them as my own.

My son and his daughter both have health problems. My granddaughter’s medical problems are very serious, but the doctors aren’t sure what she has.

A saliva test to determine if he is my biological son might give him or my granddaughter some insight into their medical problems. Should I have this test done? — QUESTIONING IN THE SOUTH DEAR QUESTIONING: Because you feel there is the possibility the test might shed light on genetic medical conditions, discuss it with your son and let him decide whether he wants it done. If there is a chance that the health problems affecting him and his daughter are inherited from his paternal bloodline and you turn out not to be his father, he may want to ask his mother who the person is and see if the man would be willing to have genetic testing done.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I usually hosted all the get-togethers among our friends. We haven’t been able to do that for about six months.

Hosting is something I love to do when I’m not working. My family, friends and co-workers have all told me they no longer want to visit — or vice versa — because of my husband.

He gets drunk and treats them like they are inferior. My husband, a stayat-home dad, does not see it. There are now many people in my life I no longer see because of his rudeness.

My husband and I have been best friends since third grade. I love him, but protecting him and making excuses for

him is exhausting. What should I do?

— HARD-WORKING SPOUSE DEAR HARD WORKING: One of the symptoms of a “problem drinker” is when the drinking affects that person’s relationships. Your mistake has been in trying to protect your husband from the consequences of his drinking.

What you need to do is attend some Al-Anon meetings and do what you can to steer your husband out of denial and into a substance-abuse program.

To find a meeting near you, visit alanon.org.

DEAR ABBY: A few months ago, I hired a woman to keep house for me. She’s a single mom and not well off. I cleaned out my closet recently and selected more than 100 items to donate. I told my cleaning lady to go through them and choose anything she might wear, but asked that she take only things she really wanted because I planned to donate the rest to a charity. To my surprise, she took two-thirds of the stuff. I hope she isn’t selling it.

I’m not sure if I should say anything to her. What do you think? — NEW TO THIS IN ARIZONA DEAR NEW TO THIS: I think that the next time you decide to clear out your closet, you offer the woman a limited number of garments and that’s all.

1 Board refuses to divulge se-

cret meeting to ombudsman

DES MOINES — An Iowa board responsible for enforcing government transparency has denied the state ombudsman access to an Aug. 25 meeting that open-records advocates say was kept confidential in violation of state law. The Iowa Public Information Board is believed to be the first government body in state history to deny the ombudsman access to confidential meeting records by citing attorney-client privilege. Iowa Ombudsman Investigator Bert Dalmer says the move is an affront to accountability.

Rhone selected for public works post

GOP hosts annual trap shoot

Nearly 25-year City of Newton veteran, Jody Rhone was named the new public works director.

Rhone has held a number of different posts in the city including streets superintendent, the operations superintendent and, most recently, co-interim director. He takes over for former director Keith Laube who left the position in July.

The fourth annual trap shoot fundraiser at the Jasper County Gun Club brought several Republican hopefuls and current political leaders to Newton. It gave local Republicans a chance to meet with and mingle with their representatives.

NDC to play bigger role in development The Newton Development Corporation will be taking a larger role in the city’s economic development sector.

The Newton City Council approved the NDC as the leaders in industrial and commercial business recruitment and expansion in the Newton community.

The decision is part of the reorganization plan city administrator Matt Muckler introduced to the council. The city’s economic development department has been eliminated, and Muckler has asked the NDC to help fill that role.

Sale of former Hotel Maytag complete The purchase of the former Hotel Maytag was approved by the Newton City Council Monday. Hotel Maytag Investors, LLC, headed by Hatch Development Group purchased the historic building at 105 N. Second Ave. E. for $400,000.

Hatch was selected from a group of bidders in the city’s search for a redevelopment partner. The group plans to renovate the building to include 45 apartments, a variety of other commercial spaces as well as a full restoration of the ballroom on the second floor.

Hatch plans to begin work by the first of January or February. The construction costs are estimated at a minimum

Substance abuse conversation planned The Jasper County Substance Abuse Coalition is hosting a Community Conversation on Substance Abuse at 7 p.m. Sept. 28 at the Newton High School. The event will provide information and resources for parents and community members seeking to learn more about the challenges within the county.

Scheduled speakers include several local presenters and a special presentation by Cedar Rapids Police Department Officer Al Fear. He will talk about the opioid epidemic in Iowa.

School leaders talk NCLB fix Newton school administrators remain cautious about the Every Child Succeeds Act. The bill will provides a better way to measure student achievement than No Child Left Behind; however, the road to implementation has had it’s problems.

The ESSA plan was signed into law in 2015 and is up for federal approval this year. It changes the way school districts measure student progress

and struggling schools will be placed under an improvement plan. However, final guidelines have yet to be set as the Iowa director of education still drafts a plan to reach federal approval.

C-M write-in seeks end of enrollment decline After a last minute write-in campaign, Colfax native Chet Williams was elected to fill the District 5 seat after incumbent Jayme Trier-Lind decided not to run. The longtime Colfax resident received 145 votes, 67.44 percent of the overall ballots submitted. Due to the number or write-in ballots, results in this race were not immediately available on election night.

Williams said he’s concerned with the amount of open-enrollment students in the district.

According to the Iowa Department of Education, Colfax-Mingo CSD lost 101 resident students in the 2016-17 school year to open-enrollment out. Last year, the district had 620 resident students and an overall enrollment of 643 kids.

PCM hits milestone in $20M renovation Construction in PCM’s $20 million district facilities renovation is nearing completion on several key parts of the project.

At Monroe Elementary, workers are down to the final punch list.

District elected leaders voted 6-0 Monday to accept a substantial completion request on upgrades to Monroe Elementary. PCM Superintendent Brad Jermeland said project management firm DCI Group, as well as project architect Neumann Monson, have inspected the work and found it sufficiently complete for the district to occupy and use the building.

Monroe seeks 24hour police coverage Bringing 24-hour per day police coverage to Monroe may hinge on officer candidate interviews held Monday night in a special city council meeting.

The council agreed to proceed with the interview process in a 5-0 vote at its regular monthly meeting Sept. 11. The decision allows the city council to examine whether or not to hire a fourth full-time police officer.

But the vote did not approve the creation of the new position. The extra full-timer would put an officer on duty 24/7 in Monroe, and Police Chief Nick Chambers argues the fourth officer would allow the department to better serve residents.

“Our motto is we always want to do what’s best for the city of Monroe,” Chambers said. “Providing 24/7 coverage to the citizens, it’s for safety.”

U.S. Sen. Ernst hopes, but isn’t sure, health bill has vote CHARLES CITY (AP) — Republican Sen. Joni Ernst said Thursday she isn’t sure her party’s last-ditch effort to repeal Barack Obama’s health care law has the votes to pass, as she faced tough questions from Iowa constituents about the political drive for the measure.

“If it’s brought up, I hope we have the votes to pass it,” Ernst told reporters after a meeting with constituents in northern Iowa. “I hope there’s consensus on the bill.”

“And if it fails, it fails,” she said, with hint of resignation in her voice, though looking ahead to tax legislation and dealing with the status of immigrants brought to the United States as children and living

here illegally.

Republican leaders hope to push the latest GOP health care bill through the Senate next week. Ernst said she is leaning toward voting for the measure, which would undo the central pillars of Obama’s 2010 law, and replace them with block grants to the states so they could make their own health care coverage rules.

The bill would let states set their own coverage requirements, allow insurers to boost prices on people with serious medical conditions, end Obama’s mandates that most Americans buy insurance and that companies offer coverage to workers, and cut and reshape Medicaid.

AP Photo U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, covers her heart during the Pledge of Allegiance before a town hall meeting, Thursday in Charles City.

Ernst spent an hour in a small-town high school auditorium fielding questions and protests from constituents con-

cerned about the GOP bill.

“It seems like it’s a political push right now,” John Shupe of Charles City told Ernst. “I

would just urge you to vote ‘no’ on this and go back and work with Democrats.”

Shupe’s observation reflected comments made by Ernst’s Iowa colleague, Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley, who said Wednesday, “I could give you maybe 10 reasons why this bill shouldn’t be considered, but Republicans campaigned on this so often that we have a responsibility to carry out what you said in the campaign.”

Grassley also said he doubted the bill had the requisite 50 votes to pass. The GOP-controlled Senate has until Sept. 30 to pass it on a simple majority, when special rules preventing a Democratic filibuster will expire.

The ACT test is the most commonly-used college entrance exam in the nation, testing students in English, math, reading and science.

Newton seniors in the class of 2017 averaged 22.2 on the test, while seniors statewide averaged 21.9. The performance of NHS graduates out-performed state seniors in three of the four subtests

Newton seniors were also more college-ready than national counterparts as defined

by ACT in the four testing domains.

Newton student achievement was made more impressive as Iowa ranks annually as one of the top performing states on the ACT test. The national average for seniors in the class of 2017 was 21.0.

The results included 79 NHS seniors from the class of 2017 who completed the ACT test while in high school.

They are called to service a few times a year.

Commissioners must be citizens of the state and residents of the city for more than five years. This is a human rights commission under Iowa Code 400 This chapter applies to permanent full-time police officers and fire fighters in cities having a population of more than eight thousand.

The city’s police and fire currently run their own interviews and testing but do come to the commission to speak on the process and the applicants.

Big investment helps Skiff’s smallest patients The 2017 Skiff Gala raised $56,000 last April, and that money is now making a difference in the lives of the tiniest patients cared for at Skiff Medical Center. Three top-of-the-line infant warmers are now in use in the OB department.

“This is the latest tech for newborns,” Jan Myers, inpatient services director said. “Thanks to these, everything we need for babies is at our fingertips.”

The units include built-in resuscitation equipment, suctioning, oxygen, medical air, a heating element, visualization lights, a weight scale and a timer for taking the one-minute

and five-minute APGAR scores, which summarize the newborn’s health. In addition, the units are equipped to constantly monitor the baby’s temperature and O2 levels, to sound an alarm if either levels go into undesirable ranges, and to have the alarms silenced hands-free, so that the nurses can use both hands with their patient as needed.

The units are portable, so they can be taken to wherever they’re needed. At the moment, two units are being kept in the OB department and the third is stationed in the OR department, for use after C-sections.

Although the units

contain more equipment than Skiff ’s previous warmers, they have a smaller footprint, so they take up less space in patient rooms.

“It is so exciting to see the generosity of our Skiff Gala attendees manifest into technology that makes a difference in the care of our patients,” said Foundation and Mission Manager Leisa Zylstra, who coordinates the Skiff Gala each year. “It’s a fantastic community event that also has fantastic results.”

To learn more about Skiff, call 641-78-SKIFF (787-5433), visit www. skiffmed.com or “like” them on www.facebook. com/skiffmed.

Grand Army of the Republic to be celebrated Sept. 28 Sept. 28 will mark the 70th Anniversary of the formal dedication ceremony to name U.S. Highway 6 across Iowa as the Grand Army of the Republic Highway.

It was at 2 p.m. in the afternoon on Sunday, Sept. 28, 1947, when Iowa’s two remaining Civil War veterans James Martin and Ebenezer McMurray came together at the Old Capitol Building in Iowa City with Governor Robert Blue, other dignitaries, and a crowd of about 400 people for the formal dedication of the Grand Army of the Republic Highway. As the proposed marker sign for the highway was unveiled, Governor Blue proclaimed “the deeds that Civil War veterans performed have not been forgotten.” (Iowa City Press-Citizen, 29 September 1947, p. 1) And, “We dedicate this highway today as a symbol of unity between these 48 states from coast to coast, to

the vision of the boys of the Civil War, and to the future, for these men have left to us a heritage of freedom.” (Des Moines Register, 29 Sept. 1947, p. 1) Who were the Grand Army of the Republic?

In the spring of 1866, the year following the American Civil War, Benjamin Franklin Stephenson, a surgeon with the former 14th Illinois Infantry met with other veterans in Springfield, Illinois, and began to lay the foundation for what would become the Grand Army of the Republic (G.A.R.).

Before winter of 1866, Departments of the G.A.R. had been formed in five states, including Iowa, and local posts were forming in another seven states. The organization would quickly spread across the country. The founders set forth the organization’s guiding principles to preserve and strengthen the fraternal bonds

of brotherhood among the soldiers, sailors and marines who served for the Union cause; to assist their former comrades in need; to aid to the widows and orphan children of those who had fallen; and to maintain allegiance to the United States of America.

In the fall of 1865, veterans in Davenport had formed an organization known as the Old Soldier’s Association of Scott County, Iowa. On July 12, 1866, this organization became the first Grand Army of the Republic post in Iowa, chartered as Post No. 1. By September, a sufficient number of posts had been organized and the Department of Iowa was created. Slow to gain new members and in danger of disbanding altogether, the Department of Iowa was reorganized in the early 1870s and grew steadily for the next twenty years. At its peak in the early 1890s the G.A.R. in Iowa

CU SHIRT ST DESIGN & OM PRINTING YOUIGRN DES HERE

counted more than 20,000 members and 439 posts across the state.

The G.A.R. was very influential in national and local politics. In Iowa, six members of the G.A.R. were elected Governor of the State, and, in fact, the Department of Iowa G.A.R. maintained an office in the Iowa State Capitol Building into the 1950s. Their influence was largely responsible for the establishment of the Soldier’s Home in Marshalltown.

The Grand Army of the Republic Highway An effort to name U.S. Highway 6 across the United States as the Grand Army of the Republic Highway was started by the Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War in the 1930s.

William L. Anderson of Massachusetts is generally given credit for the idea of naming a major highway to honor the G.A.R. The plan required get-

L U N C H

&

ting each state through which Highway 6 passed to have its state government pass legislation designating the name for the highway across the state.

In 1947, U.S. Highway 6 across Iowa was officially designated as the Grand Army of the Republic Highway with Governor Robert Blue’s approval of House File 227 on April 29 and the formal dedication ceremony in Iowa City on Sept. 28.

In the months after the dedication ceremony, marker signs were placed along the highway at each of the towns which had a G.A.R. post in the past.

Over time, many of those signs had disappeared. In 2015, the Department of Iowa Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War began a project with the aid of the Iowa Department of Transportation and local municipalities to re-mark the historic 1947 route of the Grand Army of the Republic Highway with appropriate signage.

Eagles sweep Cardinals in LHC volleyball

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Momentum just wouldn’t budge on Thursday night. Newton High’s Cardinals pushed at it hard throughout their home match against Pella Christian’s Eagles, but the Eagles kept it on their side of the net.

The recently ranked Eagles claimed a 25-20, 25-24, 25-18 win over the Cardinals in Little Hawk Conference action. The Eagles had been No. 12 in Class 2A, but fell out of the rankings as of Thursday.

Newton is mired in an 11-match losing streak. The Cardinals fell to 0-5 in LHC play and to 2-12 overall.

“The match didn’t go our way, but our girls did some great things. We are improving, and improvement is always a goal,” Newton head coach Ashley Carter said.

In the first set, Newton fell behind but senior Harlie Durr came on to serve up four straight points to take an 11-10 lead. Pella Christian broke a 13-13 tie with a three-point run and never trailed in the set again.

Both teams served the ball well in the match. Newton was 49-of52 for 94 percent and Pella Christian went 66-of-72 for 92 percent.

The Eagles had nine aces serves to Newton’s three ace serves.

Small Cardinal contingent runs at Indianola Invitational

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton freshman Ashay Malow claimed a medal in Thursday’s Indianola Invitational cross country meet.

District football is in full swing A

s of Friday, district football play is underway for all classifications in Iowa. The Class 4A district action opens Friday night with Newton High’s Cardinals in the mix.

Newton is in its second season in Class 4A play after spending a stint in Class 3A district play. The Cardinals head to Marshalltown to begin District 4 play Friday. Being a new kid on the block, so to speak, I’ve learned quite a bit about the heated rivalry between the Cardinals and the Bobcats during my five years in Newton.

From what I’ve been told, there is no love lost between the two former Big Eight Conference rivals. It’s interesting as the 2017 squads square off in 4A district play the past two years, I’ve done interviews with former Newton players from the 1966 and 1977 football teams. Games against Marshall-

INDIANOLA — Newton High’s cross country teams were not at full force on Thursday as the Cardinals competed in the Indianola Invitational meet at Pickard Park in Indianola.

Neither the Cardinal girls nor the boys had full teams running in the varsity races or junior varsity races. Newton’s varsity runners — most of them — sat out Thursday’s meet to prepare for Saturday’s new competition.

The Cardinal harriers will compete in the Roy Griak Invitational at St. Paul, Minn. It’s a large cross country meet drawing high school teams from across the country. Newton is competing in the Griak Invitational for the first time this season. The races will be run at Les Boistad Golf Course in St. Paul.

Newton’s girls ran a team of four in Thursday’s varsity 5K race.

Freshman Ashay Malow paced the Cardinal girls, earning a medal for finishing 29th in a field of

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets town loomed large in the success of those two Cardinal teams.

In a week, Newton will pay homage to the 1977 Class 4A state-runner up football team. The Cardinals defeated Marshalltown not once but twice in that season. One came in a home game for the Cardinals in regular season play. It was the only loss by the Bobcats in the regular season.

The two arch rivals met again in the Class 4A playoffs at Marshalltown.

According to the stories I’ve been told, the Bobcats thought the 14-6 win by Newton was a fluke. The Cardinals of 1977 left no doubt in the playoff game, beating Marshalltown 42-0.

The 1977 team went on to play for the 4A state championship in the UNI Dome. Newton lost 21-14 to Davenport West in the 4A championship game. So far, about a dozen of those NHS players will be at the Sept. 29 game at H.A. Lynn Stadium for a 40-

80 runners. Malow ran the course in 23 minutes, 7 seconds.

Senior Tessa Keeton placed 64th in 27:33 followed by freshman Willow Oswalt in 28:57 for 67th and senior Liz McVey in 68th place in 29:15. Two Newton girls competed in the junior varsity race with sophomore Jillian Waits placing 177th in 36:29 and Bethany Risius in 198th at 46:59.

“It’s been a tough week with the heat. I’m proud of the girls for pushing through it,” Newton girls’ head coach Rachelle Tipton said. “Ashay had a solid race, she went out with a pack and held her ground, getting top 30 here is very exciting for her. Bethany saw her time drop from Newton which should give some confidence coming into the last part of the season.”

The Newton boys had two runners compete in the junior varsity 5K race. Sophomore Luke Zaabel was 59th in 20:05 and freshman Dakota Gooden placed 348th in personal-best time of 28:42. There RUNS | 3B

year reunion of the 1977 season.

I’ll have feature article on the 1977 team and season on Thursday. Thanks to Nancy (Craig) Owens-Munley, who was a senior cheerleader in 1977, there will be a few photos from that season to share.

Now back to 2017 — going into Friday’s game at Marshalltown, Newton senior defensive back Grayson Graham has tied the school record for most interception returns for touchdowns in a season. Graham has two in the last two NHS games, tying Mike Dahlem’s record set in 1981.

Newton has the top rushing team in Class 4A District 4 with 1,615 yards on 210 carries. The Cardinal offense features five players in the top 11 rushers in the district. Junior Josh Miller is third with 244 yards on 23 carries, senior quarterback Garrett Sturtz in fourth with 317 yards on 42 carries and senior Josh Miravalles is fifth with 285 yards on 45 carries.

Seniors Jaron Roush and Carson Cazett are eighth and 11th on the rushing list. Marshalltown’s offense has the No. 7 rusher in the district — senior quarterback Sam Irwin, who has 280 yards on 54 carries. Irwin can throw

the ball effectively. His season totals for the first four games is 570 yards on 41 completes out of 76 attempts with three touchdowns and three interceptions.

Both football teams will have to deal with hot and humid conditions on Friday night — the first official evening of fall. Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said the Cardinals are in solid condition, but the team will make sure everyone is hydrated well for game conditions.

Newton High’s cross country teams are off on a new adventure this weekend. The Cardinal runners left Friday for St. Paul, Minn. They will be competing in the Roy Griak Invitational at the University of Minnesota Les Bolstad Golf Course in St. Paul.

The Roy Griak Invitational features four high school races and six collegiate races. It draws high school teams from across the country. This meet gives the Cardinal athletes an opportunity to compete against quality runners from all over the country.

Good luck to the football and the cross country Cardinals this weekend.

The Bolts won at home for the first time this season and improved to 2-1 in Iowa Star Conference South Division play after a 25-11, 25-12, 25-20 win over the Warriors.

Baxter missed eight serves, finishing 66-of-74, but the Bolts had 23 aces to counter the misses.

Three players had at least five aces in the win.

“We had a pretty good game,” Baxter coach Scott Ranck said. “We changed a couple of things and got little more experience on the court, giving us flexibility at other positions. We had a good effort, a lot of fun and got a lot of kids in the match.”

Senior Jordynn Wesselink finished with nine kills, four digs and seven aces to lead the way. She was 17-of-21 in serves.

Senior Lexi Ewing served up five aces and was 15for-15 in serves, junior Sydney Schmidt tallied 22 assists and six aces and senior Mary Schabilion was 14-of-14 in serves with two aces.

Sophomore Amber Weltha finished with a teamhigh 10 kills. The team had 27 kills on 27 assists on the night. The Bolts (6-5 overall, 2-1 in the Iowa Star) only had 10 hitting errors.

Sophomore Bekka Watt finished with four kills and served up three aces. She was 8-of-9 in serves.

Senior Sailor Hinegardner had a team-high eight digs and dished out three assists. Ewing added seven digs.

The Bolts host Van Meter for a non-conference match at 6:30 p.m. Monday in Baxter.

Meskwaki Settlement fell to 3-14 overall and 1-3 in league play.

Rams use big offensive Nebraska fires athletic night to beat 49ers director after five years SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Jared Goff threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns and Todd Gurley ran for two TDs and caught another to help the Los Angeles Rams put up another big offensive performance with a 41-39 victory over the San Goff Francisco 49ers on Thursday.

The NFL’s lowest-scoring team last year looks like a completely different outfit this season under first-year coach Sean McVay thanks to vastly improved play by Goff after a rough rookie season as the No. 1 overall pick.

The Rams (2-1) also have been helped by the additions of receivers Sammy Watkins and Robert Woods and the play-calling of McVay as they have scored 107 points through three games.

That’s the second-most in franchise history, trailing only the 119 by “The Greatest Show

on Turf ” squad in 2000.

This win didn’t come easy as the Rams nearly blew a 15-point lead, giving up two late touchdowns, fumbling a kickoff return and failing to recover an onside kick. But Los Angeles managed to stop a potential game-tying 2-point conversion and then used an offensive pass interference penalty against Trent Taylor and a fourth-down sack by Aaron Donald to stop the Niners after the onside kick.

The 49ers (0-3) scored five touchdowns after failing to get any the first two weeks but still came up short in part because a missed extra point by Robbie Gould forced them to try for two on their late touchdown.

This time it was a tired defense that hurt San Francisco.

After facing 79 plays in a 12-9 loss at Seattle on Sunday, the 49ers appeared to run out of gas on the short week as Goff frequently had wide-open receivers, especially on third down.

The Rams needed all that offense on a night where Brian Hoyer threw for 332 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score.

Cubs rally in 9th, beat Brewers in 10th to extend lead MILWAUKEE (AP) — Javier Baez grounded a tying single with two outs in the ninth inning, Kris Bryant hit a tworun homer in the 10th and the Chicago Cubs widened their NL Central lead over Milwaukee, rallying past the Brewers 5-3 Thursday night.

Bryant Chicago is now 4 1/2 games ahead of the Brewers after winning the opener of a four-game series. The Cubs have won eight of nine.

The Cubs trailed 3-2 when Ian Happ led off the ninth by hitting a grounder that first baseman Neil Walker fielded wide of the bag. Reliever Jeremy Jeffress covered first and Happ was called safe in a close play, a ruling upheld on replay.

Happ moved to second on a one-out grounder and scored when Baez, down to his last strike, singled up the middle.

Milwaukee was in position to win it in the bottom of the ninth, loading the bases with one out. But Wade Davis (4-1) struck out Domingo Santana and then, after falling behind 3-1 in the count to Orlando Arcia, came back to retire him on an easy comebacker on a fullcount pitch.

Davis struck out the side in the 10th.

Jon Jay opened the Cubs 10th with a double and Bryant followed with his 28th homer, connecting off Oliver Drake.

Anthony Rizzo hit a drive off the top of the wall in center and wound up with a triple when a crew chief review showed the ball didn’t leave the park.

Santana hit 28th home run in the fourth. He doubled off Justin Wilson in the eighth.

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — For the second time in 10 years, Nebraska has ousted an athletic director during a football season that was failing to meet expectations.

The school’s top administrators said the Cornhuskers’ embarrassing loss to Northern Illinois last weekend wasn’t the sole reason for firing of Shawn Eichorst on Thursday. But the loss that dropped the Cornhuskers to 1-2 for the second time in three years under coach Mike Riley certainly was the tipping point.

“It’s never good to lose to a team that you should (beat). At least that’s the theory,” President Hank Bounds told The Associated Press. “At the end of the day, one sporting event doesn’t cause you to make a decision.

It certainly was something we had been thinking about and concerned about when we were thinking about what the future looked like.”

Eichorst was hired to replace retiring athletic director Tom Osborne in October 2012, and has about $1.7 million remaining on a contract that runs through June 2019.

Bounds and Chancellor Ronnie Green said Eichorst was a champion of student-athlete welfare and had done a good job keeping the athletic department fiscally sound.

“Husker fans deserve winning teams, and while we made much progress across many dimensions of Husker athletics, we expect more,” Green said.

Nebraska — which spent $101 million on athletics in 2015-16, the most recent year for which data is available — has not won a Big Ten championship in football or basketball (men’s or women’s) since joining the conference in 2011.

The administrators said they want to be competitive in every sport because the school has the resources to accomplish that.

“We all know the importance of football in Husker athletics. There’s no reason

to debate that,” Green said.

“We know the importance of it to our brand. The expectations associated with Husker football are high and should be high. With that said, we also expect excellence in baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, track and field, gymnastics, volleyball. You go down the list.”

In 2007, athletic director Steve Pederson was fired days after a humiliating loss to Oklahoma State. Osborne was brought in to replace him, and he fired coach Bill Callahan after the season.

Eichorst and Riley have been under increased scrutiny with the continued mediocrity of the program.

Eichorst hired Riley away from Oregon State in 2014, replacing the successful but volatile Bo Pelini.

Riley is just 16-13 at Nebraska, a school that has won five national championships, went to bowl games every year from 1969-2003 but has not won a conference title since 1999. Since opening 2016 with seven straight wins, the Cornhuskers have lost six of nine, a stretch that included losses of 59 points to Ohio State and 30 points to Iowa. Eichorst had nonetheless quietly extended Riley’s contract by one year, through the 2020 season.

Green and Bounds decided Wednesday to fire Eichorst and met with him a day later.

“While I am deeply disappointed in the decision today, I am grateful for the wonderful years that my family and I have spent at Nebraska,” Eichorst said in a statement released by the school.

“I am proud of how our student-athletes, coaches and staff represented this great university and state,

and I am confident that the future is bright for Nebraska athletics.”

Green and Bounds met with Riley alone Thursday to tell him the news before meeting with the rest of the department coaches.

“I was taken back, surprised,” Riley said. “I was probably flat-out saddened by the whole deal. I really, really enjoyed working with Shawn. Besides being a good man, I think he had everyone’s best interests at heart, coaches and student-athletes. Department-wide, the way it was run, was beautiful. The things put in place to help develop young people were great, and the support we got was at the highest level. His interaction with us was the most I’ve ever had.”

Riley said he appreciated Eichorst seeking him out for the job and that he and his staff continue to be thankful to be at Nebraska.

“We’ve tried to develop and grow and be the best we can be,” Riley said, “and we haven’t done as well as we need to.”

Green said he plans to appoint an interim athletic director within a few days to oversee day-to-day operations.

Green said the school will use a search firm and will consult with stakeholders, including Osborne, and people who have run successful college programs for guidance and perspective.

The new athletic director will make the decision about Riley’s status, Bounds said.

“Mike Riley is our football coach,” he said. “We expect him to compete. This is not about Mike Riley right now.”

Asked by a reporter what level of competitiveness he desires for football, Green harkened to the national championship years, saying, “This is going to sound a little glib, and I don’t mean it that way, but I’d love to be back in the mid-1990s, right?”

Bounds interjected, “Why not? Why shouldn’t we have those aspirations here?”

Fowler delivers again as Martinez, Cardinals beat Reds CINCINNATI (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals rinsed the bad taste of being swept by the Chicago Cubs the best way they could — sweeping the Cincinnati Reds.

Dexter Fowler delivered again, hitting two doubles and a single as St. Louis overcame Scott Schebler’s two home runs to beat the Reds 8-5 Thursday night.

The Cardinals began the day 2 ½ games behind Colorado for the second NL wild-card spot and five games behind the Central-leading Cubs.

Fowler drove in two runs. He went 7 for 13 with two home runs and six RBIs in the three-game series.

Yadier Molina drove in two runs as the Cardinals completed their first sweep in Cincinnati since 2010.

“We didn’t play good games in Chicago,” said Molina, who reached a new career high with a team-leading 82 RBIs. “We got good hitting, good pitching and good defense here. Everybody took good at bats. That’s what

we need to do.”

Five different Cardinals finished with two or more hits as St. Louis scored at least eight runs for the third consecutive game.

“There were a lot of good things,” manager Mike Matheny said. “We had a big day. Yadi coming up with big hits. I saw some good things all day long across the board.”

“It’s a huge game every night. It doesn’t matter who you’re playing. We were coming off a tough weekend, and the guys did a real nice job clearing their minds and getting back to doing what they need to do to be successful.”

Carlos Martinez (12-11), celebrating his 26th birthday, lasted 6 1/3 innings on a muggy night with a gametime temperature of 85 degrees, allowing four runs and nine hits.

“Carlos was OK,” Molina said. “His location was up sometimes, and they took advantage, but all in all, he was OK.” Martinez improved to 3-1 in his last four starts. He gave up Phillip Ervin’s

two-run homer in the fourth and a drive by Schebler in the seventh.

Schebler led off the ninth with a homer, his 29th of the season.

“I got that first one pretty good,” Schebler said. “Martinez got a couple pitches in on me. The last at-bat, he just threw me a pitch where I was expecting it.”

Homer Bailey (5-9) became the third consecutive Reds starter to be lifted without getting through five innings. He gave up four runs on seven hits and two walks in four innings.

Manager Bryan Price pinch-hit for him with two runners on and two outs in the fourth.

“Homer got the first two outs on three pitches,” Price said. “It was labor-intensive after that. I don’t think he threw the ball bad. It was tough to take Homer out. He had pitches left on the table. In that situation, I had to take a shot.”

“It was Bryan’s decision and it’s not mine to question,” Bailey said. “I

was battling, for sure. I didn’t get any breaks, a double play or a borderline pitch, but that’s not an excuse. Sometimes you can get through if you get a break here or there.”

Fowler doubled and scored on Jose Martinez’s single in the first, then hit a two-run double over Ervin’s head in center in the third and later scored on Molina’s sacrifice fly.

Molina added an RBI double in the seventh.

Up Next Cardinals: RHP Michael Wacha (12-8) allowed five hits with no walks and seven strikeouts over eight innings in his last start against Pittsburgh, a 7-0 win on Sept. 10. He starts when St. Louis visits the Pirates on Friday night.

Reds: RHP Sal Romano (5-6) allowed five hits with no walks and six strikeouts over eight shutout innings in his last start, a 2-1 win over Pittsburgh on last Saturday. He’ll pitch against the visiting Red Sox on Friday night.

Runs Continued from Page 1B were 401 runners in the junior varsity boys’ race.

“Luke had to battle for position with 400-plus runners on a narrow and winding course to fight for his time, and Dakota has now dropped two minutes in his time in the past three days,” Newton boys’ head coach Steve Weeks said.

“I’m pleased with our progress and these two boys will get a nice day off as they prepare for their marching band competition on Saturday. The remainder of the boys team will compete in the Roy Griak Invitational,” Weeks said.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B The Eagles used a seven-point run to take a 15-7 lead in the second set.

Newton could not catch up and lost the set 25-14.

Down 8-5 in the third set, Newton fought back again. Senior Carter Lee was at the service line and had a five-point stretch with one of the points coming on a kill by senior Alexis Hoffman.

The Cardinals had a 10-9 advantage, but were unable to halt a five-point service run by the Eagles. Newton stayed within striking distance of the Eagles — 19-16 on a tip by senior Lucy Lilienthal. Pella Christian never relinquished the lead on its way to a third-set victory.

Hoffman delivered eight kills at the net for Newton.

Lilienthal and senior Audrey Lucas each put down five kills while senior Rachel Berkland and freshman Kate Callaghan had two kills each.

Madison Bleeker, another senior, had one kill.

Bleeker and Lucas had one assisted block apiece. Callaghan was credited with 19 set assists. Lilienthal had two set assists. Lee and Durr each had one set assist.

Pella Christian’s net attack was just a bit better led by senior Bekah Horstman’s 12 kills. The Eagles (3-2, 9-10) also put up two solo blocks and six assisted blocks.

Lee put up 28 digs and Berkland had 10 digs. Lucas came up with nine digs and Hoffman had seven digs. Callaghan had six digs and Durr had five digs.

At the service line, Lee and Durr each served six points and Hoffman had three points. Lucas, Berkland and Callaghan had two points each. Callaghan was credited with two service aces and Berkland had one ace.

Newton’s junior varsity rallied to a 15-15 tie in the second set Thursday against Pella Christian. The Eagles won the match, 2519, 25-20. Newton’s junior varsity plays at 8:30 a.m.

Saturday in a tournament

in Indianola.

In the freshman match, Pella Christian beat Newton 25-19, 25-18. Newton was 35-of-38 serving with five ace serves.

Astrograph

This is one of two days in the year in which day and night are of equal length, a balance represented in the very concept of Libra -- scales of measurement to ensure the justice of human transactions. The felicity of today’s fall equinox is aptly punctuated by a trine of Mercury and Pluto, emphasizing practical magic and tangible results.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.

22). You’re exceptionally lucky over the next four weeks.

In November, shake up your professional scene some. What seems like a lateral move will actually lead to something much better. You don’t really know yourself until you try

new things. Your personal life percolates with fresh activities and interests in 2018. Taurus and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 4, 42, 38 and 14.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

When the sun rises, it rises for everyone and shines on all creatures alike. Those who feel special and above the rest will be humbled by the current cosmic climate in the best way possible.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). People don’t necessarily want to hear the most honest interpretation of things. What about compassion? What about catering the message to the

audience? If you must talk hard facts, speak the truth and then duck.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Even if you have a self-driving car, you still can’t drive two of them at the same time. Choose.

It may be difficult, as many options seem equal, but if you don’t make the choice now, someone will make it for you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Imagine if you believed that there was nothing wrong with you and there never has been, that nothing needed to be improved, that there was no “better,” only “different”: Would you then still make the same choice?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Intellectual powers surge today.

You enjoy thinking things through and coming up with the perfect explanation for why they are the way they are, or how they might become something else.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’re ready and willing to learn, and that’s not even the best part: There is someone very skilled who will be willing to teach you! You’re the one who must make the first approach, though.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Do you get the sense that you’re coming into your own? Don’t dismiss this as merely a good mood. Instead heed the intuition as a harbinger of the very lucky times you’re stepping into.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You could put something in the world that wasn’t there before.

Note that creative ventures do require more than a good idea.

They require time and study and practice. That said, a few minutes here and there will add up.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The thing about chasing mirages is that no matter how much distance you cover, you’ll never arrive. Illusions threaten to waste your time.

Separate actualities from fantasies, truth from fiction.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You genuinely want to do something well. Your attitude will appeal to others who have been masterful. In a stroke of luck more fortunate than

money falling from the sky, the right teachers will be attracted to your potential.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). In some ways you are on your own, but this freedom has many perks. You can go in any direction you wish, for starters.

Furthermore, your best guess is pretty stellar. Act on it and your luck will compound.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

When you can right a wrong situation you feel personally successful. Indeed you are!

And those who help you celebrate achievements of justice are your true friends.

PCM girls win second straight home title Colfax-Mingo, Lynnville-Sully also compete at Gateway Recreation Golf Course

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — Six years ago, Prairie City-Monroe cross country coach Eric Karr had seven total runners in grades seven through 12.

Things are much different these days.

For the third time this season, the PCM girls claimed a team championship. This time, the Mustangs cruised to the title on their home course on a hot night at Gateway Recreation Golf Course.

“Last year we won this meet, and that was a shock,” Karr said. “This year, we knew that if we did what we can do, we should win it. You still have to run the race, and it’s not an easy course.”

All five scoring runners placed in the first 14 positions, three were in the top 10 and the Mustangs scored 45 points in the win. Class 3A Knoxville was second with 85 points.

“It’s always fun to win this meet. It was nice to see everyone so close together and up near the front, too,” said PCM junior Kirstin Ives, who was fourth overall.

The meet was the first since the Mustangs cracked the rankings for the first time this season. And Class 2A No. 13 PCM flexed its muscles in front of its home fans.

The top area girls’ finisher was Colfax-Mingo sophomore Abbey McConeghey, who finished third in 22 minutes, 29.25 seconds. Ives was fourth in 22:32.37 and Lynnville-Sully senior Mary Kate Shaver crossed the finish line in fifth with a time of 22:46.66.

“I really like our course. It’s challenging. And it was hot so it was tough today,” Ives said.

“Usually, I try to run with Abbey McConeghey. We have had similar times. I wanted to run with her the best I could.”

After Knoxville in second was Davis County (94), Lynnville-Sully (95), Chariton (113), Colfax-Mingo (129) and Montezuma (131).

The top 25 finishers earned medals Thursday.

PCM’s other medal winners were juniors Megan Townley (ninth) and Paytan Schut (10th), senior Baylee Smith (13th) and sophomore Klaire Jungling (14th).

“If you saw our girls tonight, they didn’t look good physically,” Karr said. “The weather really affected them.

But that shows that they are in the right place mentally. They did the best they could today,

and there is nothing to be disappointed about.”

Two Lynnville-Sully runners joined Shaver as medal winners. Sophomore Abby Gruver was 17th and freshman Megan Van Zante finished 19th.

In the boys’ race, PCM sophomore Jason Stafford was top area finisher as he crossed the finish line in sixth with a time of 19:24.88. His freshman teammate, Beau Webb, was ninth in 19:32.99.

“I am just trying to get faster. I think working on shorter distances is going to help us in the spots where we need to pick up the pace,” Stafford said. “We are trying to help each other and support each other and hopefully at the end of the year we’ll be at our best.”

Colfax-Mingo junior Cauy Fitch was the only other medal winner. He finished 12th with a time of 19:45.19.

“I think I got out too fast.

I am still trying to figure out my pace,” Fitch said. “I need to figure out what works and what doesn’t. We are working on it. It’s getting there.”

Des Moines Christian won the boys’ team title as the Lions had all five of their scoring runners finish in the first eight positions. The Lions won with 19 points.

Pella Christian was second with 66 points followed by Davis County (106), Ankeny Christian Academy (130), Chariton (132), Knoxville (138), PCM (142), Montezuma (175) and Lynnville-Sully (256).

Colfax-Mingo was missing several runners because of its homecoming coronation.

The Tigerhawk girls were without No. 2 runner Ilia Hostetter, and the boys’ team only had four runners total.

In the girls’ race, Shaver leading McConeghey through more than two miles. The Tigerhawk sophomore used a strong finish to take third, and Ives also passed Shaver on the final hill.

McConeghey said she got a little bit of advice from her grandpa Duane Skidmore down the stretch.

“My grandpa said I could out-sprint them in the end so I just did what he said,” McConeghey said. “I was worried for a little bit. I slowed down a lot at the two-mile mark. I usually do that, but I will work on how I approach that.”

Shaver is still trying to get used to running in Iowa. This is her first season at L-S after

moving in from the Chicago area.

“I need to work on the hills.

The courses in Illinois aren’t nearly as hilly. So kicking it in up a hill isn’t what I am used to,” Shaver said. “That’s something I am still trying to work on and get figured out.

“I am just trying to push myself as hard I can. (McConeghey) is one of the ones that I am trying to run with. She pushed me today. It was much appreciated because this was a hot course, and I needed the motivation.”

The top Lynnville-Sully runner in the boys’ race was senior Josh Dunsbergen, who was 37th.

“I have to get the hills figured out,” Dunsbergen said.

“There is too much inconsistency with my times. I don’t think the heat should impact my time but that seems to be the case.”
