Homeless advocates hope laundry night will serve Newton’s needy

How to help

A new homeless advocacy group is working on improving services for the needy in Newton.

Members of the group, which is comprised of several downtown churches met Tuesday night to discuss ways to combat homelessness and poverty in the community.

Initially the group was focused on creating a day center for the homeless, using the Friendship House, 213 N. Third Ave. E., which belongs to the First Presbyterian Church in Newton. While the group’s founder, David Goos, still believes that’s a viable option, group members have decided to focus on making short-term improvements in the interim.

Group members have been researching different options in the community to learn more about the issues surrounding the homeless in Newton. Initial es-

timates from the police department have pegged the homeless population at 100 people, but several volunteers at Tuesday night said they believe the actual population is more than double the department’s estimate.

“Our focus has shifted, we’re looking at things like laundry and showers, we want to try and use existing services to break away some of these barriers,” Goos said.

Targeting the “low hanging fruit” by working to increase awareness in Newton’s needy of available services allows the

Celebrating 25 years under the blue roof NPL to hold jubilee event Saturday

By Kayla Singletary Newton Daily News As the Newton Public Library celebrates 25 years at its current location, the community is invited to learn about the library’s history and its future during a Jubilee event.

At t e n d e e s are invited from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday on the library’s Lindstrom lawn for live music by Deep Dish Diva of Cedar Rapids. There will also

be refreshments and hors d’oeuvres provided and an optional tour of the library from 1 to 2 p.m.

NPL Director Nicole Lindstrom said preparations for the Jubilee began in January.

“We knew we would be coming up on our 25th year anniversary, and we decided to plan an event each month leading up to September,” Lindstrom said. “We thought it was important because we knew we were going to be getting new carpet and new paint and we wanted to celebrate the building as what it has been and then what it would be over the next year.”

Lindstrom said Jasper County Historical Society Director Larry Hurto will lead tours of the library and discuss its history.

group to move towards its goal, Goos said. On Tuesday, group members started planning a laundry night in Newton. Goos has been in contact with a local laundromat owner, and the group plans to organize volunteers to provide free laundry services.

The volunteers plan to provide quarters, laundry detergent and fabric softener to those in need.

The group also discussed setting up a mending station at the laundromat to help residents make minor repairs to their clothes.

“I think we can get people involved, but we need to keep it moving,” Goos said.

Also in the works is a plan to create a short survey for residents to complete when they come in for the laundry night. Robyn Taylor, who co-founded Friends In Hope, a local charity organization, said she’s often amazed HOMELESS | 3A

City of Ira poised for rural water Jasper County Supervisors approve easements under bike trails for water

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The unincorporated community of Ira will be getting rural water after previously only having a ground source water. The Central Iowa Water Association was granted an easement from the Jasper County Board of Supervisors Tuesday which will allow the water sys-

tem to connect under the Chichaqua Valley Trail.

“The water association would like to go underneath the bike trail,” Jasper County Conservation Director Keri Van Zante said. “One goes underneath the Chichaqua bike trail to get water to the town of Ira because they have always had just a ground source water, no rural water.”

Van Zante said the CIWA is trying to get the crossing by Ira completed this fall and it is pretty close to being ready to start the work on the trail.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Wednesday, Sept. 27, the 270th day of 2017. There are 95 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 27, 1942, Glenn Miller and his Orchestra performed together for the last time, at the Central Theater in Passaic, New Jersey, prior to Miller’s entry into the Army.

On this date: In 1540, Pope Paul III issued a papal bull establishing the Society of Jesus, or Jesuits, as a religious order.

In 1779, John Adams was named by Congress to negotiate the Revolutionary War’s peace terms with Britain.

In 1854, the first great disaster involving an Atlantic Ocean passenger vessel occurred when the steamship SS Arctic sank off Newfoundland; of the more than 400 people on board, only 86 survived.

In 1939, Warsaw, Poland, surrendered after weeks of resistance to invading forces from Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union during World War II. In 1954, “Tonight!” hosted by Steve Allen, made its network debut on NBC-TV. In 1979, Congress gave its final approval to forming the U.S. Department of Education.

In 1989, Columbia Pictures Entertainment Inc. agreed to a $3.4 billion cash buyout by Sony Corp.

In 1991, President George H.W. Bush announced in a nationally broadcast address that he was eliminating all U.S. battlefield nuclear weapons, and called on the Soviet Union to match the gesture. The Senate Judiciary Committee deadlocked, 7-7, on the nomination of Clarence Thomas to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Ten years ago: Soldiers fired into crowds of anti-government demonstrators in Yangon, Myanmar, reportedly killing at least nine people; Kenji Nagai, 50, a video journalist for Japan’s APF News, was among the dead. President George W. Bush promised to take steps to reduce air traffic congestion and long delays that were leaving travelers grounded.

Five years ago: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told the U.N. General Assembly that the world had only a matter of months to stop Iran before it could build a nuclear bomb. NFL referees returned to the field after a tentative deal with the league ended a lockout; games had been marred by controversy, blown calls and confusion as substitute referees officiated during the first three weeks of the season. Actor Herbert Lom, 95, best known as Inspector Clouseau’s long-suffering boss in the “Pink Panther” movies, died in London.

One year ago: The United States provided another $364 million in humanitarian aid to Syrians as their nation’s civil war appeared to be getting worse. President Barack Obama announced career diplomat Jeffrey DeLaurentis as his choice to become the first U.S. ambassador to Cuba in more than a half-century. Scientists announced the first baby born from a controversial new technique that combined DNA from three people — the mother, the father and an egg donor. (The goal was to prevent the child from inheriting a fatal genetic disease from his mother.)

That’s Odd After 66 million years, creature wins state dinosaur honor SACRAMENTO, Calif.

(AP) — It took about 66 million years, but a duck-billed creature has finally won recognition as California’s state dinosaur.

Gov. Jerry Brown announced Saturday the signing of a bill making Augustynolophus morrisi the official dinosaur of the Golden State.

Fossilized remains of the duckbilled creature that lived anywhere from 100 million to 66 million years ago have been found only in California.

Several other states and Washington, D.C., also have official dinosaurs.

Entertainment ‘Mark Felt’ film prompts questions of Deep Throat’s role NEW YORK (AP) — More than four decades after Hal Holbrook stood smoking in a darkened parking lot, urging Robert Redford’s Bob Woodward to “follow the money,” the famed Watergate source “Deep Throat” is, in cinematic terms, finally stepping out of the shadows.

“Mark Felt: The Man Who Brought Down the White House” is a kind of bookend to Alan J. Pakula 1976 masterpiece “All the President’s Men” that gives a belated big-screen close-up to the man who was — until he revealed himself in 2005 as the Washington Post’s famous source — shrouded in mystery.

But whether “Mark Felt” adds clarity to the legend of Watergate or further mythologizes it is up for debate. Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, the famed journalists whose reporting earned the Washington Post a Pulitzer Prize, say Peter Landesman’s film overstates the importance of Felt in untangling Watergate, portraying him as a puppet master pulling the strings that would, as the subtitle asserts, topple Richard Nixon.

Felt, then the No. 2 official at the Federal Bureau of

how many homeless or needy people she encounters that are unaware of the services that are available to them. By surveying the crowd at the laundry night volunteers can help those in need in the right direction. At Tuesday night’s meeting members of the group created a list of resources that are available in the Newton area.

“I’ve run into so many people that were starving and they didn’t even have food stamps,” Taylor said.

Often there are barriers that block the homeless from accessing these services, Taylor said.

Many may not have a place to receive mail, making it difficult to sign up for some of these services, and many are reluctant to ask for help. Taylor has been working with Newton’s homeless for years, and she said it’s often difficult to build up their trust.

“They don’t trust many people,” Taylor said. “I’ve been able to connect with them, and they’re happy if someone cares about them, and takes an interest in their lives.”

Members are also continuing to recruit volunteers, but Goos said he’s heard some negative feedback from people who feel uncomfortable working with the homeless. On Tuesday, Goos urged the rest of the group to keep recruiting more volunteers.

“When you get to know them, they become real people, and we can help them,” Goos said. “Don’t worry about how you feel, do it because it’s the right thing to do.”

“Ira is going to appreciate that,” supervisor Doug Cupples said.

Van Zante also talked to the association about potentially adding water sources for bikers at the locations. Currently, at the Ira location, there is no water available.

“It is a good swap,” Van Zante said. ​ A second set of easements were also granted to go under the railway bike trail in the Prairie City area.

In other business, the board gave approval for a contract with the City of Monroe for the Elderly Nutrition program. The program serves meals at noon Monday through Friday at Monroe City Hall to an average of 20 people a day. A $200 per month rent for the use of the building was approved for the project.

Eligibility Continued from Page 1A 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.

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.

Muhs said he understands Langstraat’s perspective, and it’s easy to support an idea that would simplify things at the middle school, but he doesn’t think it holds students to a high enough standard. Under the current model students who are failing a class aren’t allowed to play, whereas the new system has enough lag time between the grade checks and implementation that students with failing grades would still be on the field.

“My personal opinion is that there has to be a balance, I just didn’t feel like this would hold students ac-

Langstraat disagreed with Muhs, she pointed out that if you look at the schedule for football, a student with a failing grade would miss two games, but they’d still have an opportunity to turn their grade around and get back on the field before the end of the season. Middle school sports also typically have a shorter season Langstraat said, which was a factor in her decision-making, she wanted to make sure that kids didn’t miss an entire season if they had an unsatisfactory grade check.

checks, Muhs did praise Langstraat’s plan to require students to attend two study hall sessions before returning to practice after failing a grade check. By creating the mandatory after-school study hall sessions Langstraat hopes she can help kids track down why they’re falling short in the classroom and get them back on the road to success.

“We are also going to continue offering technology and drop-in programs to assist in mobile devices and E-readers,” Klein said. “We have also really found that our arts and crafting programs have been in very high demand and we are looking to offer more of those as well.”

The long way around T

So It Goes David Dolmage

railer trash, hillbilly haven and tornado magnet, mobile homes are frequently the punchline to jokes.

They’ve often been ridiculed as low class shelters for those who can’t afford anything else, but a new tiny house movement is starting to shift that paradigm.

Last weekend at the Jasper County Fairgrounds residents had a chance to tour some of these tiny homes and meet their creators who’ve turned their backs on America’s relentless quest for bigger and better.

Mobile homes haven’t always had a less than sterling reputation. When John Steinbeck wrote his seminal travel essay, Travels with Charley, they represented a unique section of upwardly mobile Americans. As Steinbeck traveled the country with Charley, his Standard Poodle, he stayed in several mobile home parks in Rocacinte, the name he gave his pickup truck outfitted with a drop in camper. Owning a mobile home rep-

resented a chance to move up in society, and the residents told him they were prepared to keep moving in search of better opportunities.

A whole new generation of Americans who’ve taken this advice to heart are choosing to travel light in search of new adventures. Driven by increasing housing costs, around the country more and more people are looking at ways to live minimallistically while keeping their budgets low. With 73 percent of Americans living paycheck to paycheck, it’s easy to see how living without the constraints of a 30-year year mortgage can be a powerful draw.

Wanderlust, or the desire for wandering, has captured the attention of the 83 million millennials in the country. With an entire generation of “Peter Pans” living with their parents longer, attending secondary schools, traveling more and delaying their entry into adulthood, it’s no wonder these 100-400 square feet homes

are appealing. They provide residents the freedom to live on their own and be connected to the community without the financial restrictions of a mortgage.

Like Natalie Maines, they’re taking the long way around, even if they don’t have a pink RV with stars on the ceiling.

Wandering is ingrained in our DNA, just as our ancestors gave up their homes, said goodbye to their families and set out to make a new life out on the frontier a new generation is following in their footsteps. Each one of these tiny homes represents that wanderlust, a tiny frontier out on the horizon.

While the designs may differ, ranging from trailer based homes to buses and everything in between, mobility remains the key idea. After decades of staying in place, young America is on the move again. It may be a phenomena that’s started elsewhere, however Tiny Fest Midwest is proof it’s taken root in Iowa as well.

Among my friends, several are working on their own tiny houses. Brett, a bicycle mechanic who lives in West Des Moines, has been looking for the perfect bus to call home. After years of constantly relocating around the Midwest for work, Brett has realized he doesn’t need much

to be happy. Most weekends you’ll find him camping out the back of his Subaru with his dog Bruce.

Brett’s dream is to buy and fully outfitted bus that’ll allow him to live off the grid. He’s been stockpiling materials for his project for the past several years and he’s looking for the perfect bus to call home. He’s spent a lot of time thinking about the design, with a goal of ultimately building a self contained living space. It might be hard for most people to understand his motivation but, once the bus is finished, he’ll be constantly on the move, shuffling between Walmart parking lots and campgrounds, hunting for the perfect parking spot for his rig.

His love life might take a hit and he’ll have to give up his apartment, but Brett said he won’t miss it at all. He’s excited for the chance to own a home of his own, even if it’s on wheels.

They may have wheels, but home ownership still remains the goal for many Americans. On their bus Brett and Bruce will finally have a home of their own, that’ll follow them wherever their adventures take them next.

The strategy of going too far

There’s a running argument on the right these days.

It begins each time the left overreacts to a Trumpian move with wild radicalism, alienating Americans in the middle. Some on the right attribute the left’s penchant for political hara-kiri to President Donald Trump’s masterful manipulations — it’s just part of his genius. But the more plausible argument is that Trump isn’t playing anyone — he’s perfectly authentic. And most importantly, he always goes just a bit too far.

Going too far can be a political liability. But it can also tempt opponents into a game of chicken. And that’s where Trump’s hyperbolic approach to every issue sometimes redounds to his benefit. If Trump had stated last week in Alabama that he opposed former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s brainless decision to kneel for the national anthem, he’d have been well in bounds. Instead, Trump went further. Channeling his old WWE/”The Apprentice” persona, he bellowed, “Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a b——- off the field right now. Out. He’s fired. He’s fired!’”

The left leapt on Trump’s over-the-line statements — and proceeded to land directly on a political land mine. Instead of ripping Trump for overstepping the boundaries of the presidency and talking about the necessity for preservation of First Amendment freedoms, the left called for widespread participation in kneeling.

They couldn’t merely side against Trump; they had to side with Kaepernick.

This, of course, was political idiocy. The vast majority of Americans think that kneeling during the national anthem is disrespectful, and that it represents a slap in the face to the military and the American flag.

They think this because Kaepernick has explicitly said so: “I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.” But prompted by a strategy of knee-jerk massive retaliation, the left decided to jump on board with Kaepernick anyway.

Meanwhile, Trump’s own supporters saw nothing wrong with his statements — particularly once the left knelt with Kaepernick. Where some Trump supporters might have been tempted to say that Trump went too far, now they were more likely to back him — after all, he was speaking truth to those who would protest the flag.

All of which suggests that saying too much is actually a smart way to trigger your enemies and rally your base. President Obama knew this; it’s undoubtedly why he made statements about Trayvon Martin looking like his fictional son. Sticking a fork in the eye of your enemy sometimes leads to your enemy blindly groping his way into the street, only to be mashed by the passing cars of political reality.

But none of this is good for a more rational politics.

We should all be able to recognize that kneeling for the national anthem is foolishness, and that the president has no business calling for the firing of those in the private sector exercising First Amendment rights. That requires no overreach, and it doesn’t make headlines.

But it does create a unity sorely lacking in our politics.

On Sept. 16, 2001, he moved in with his soul m a t e , P a u l a Jo Berry Mick, where his life began anew. They acquired a puppy that Rex named Jacob Walter Lippert.

He was so much more than just a dog; he be-

came his “son.� The love Rex felt for Jacob completed his life. Rex was content and happy.

He finally had the family he deeply loved and needed. Life was wonderful.

Rex worked at the Newton Senior High School as a custodian for 14 years, after being a construction worker for most of his life. He graduated from high school in 1974. Rex enjoyed NASCAR, taking Jacob for walks, reading, grilling out, mushroom hunting, yard work, cross-word puzzles (which he always

did with a pen), working in his shop building and fixing things, being outside and spending time with his extended family and friends.

Rex died unexpectedly on the morning of Sept. 22, 2017 at his home. He was preceded in death by both his parents and his brother, Brian.

Those left to honor Rex’s memory are Paula Jo Berry Mick; her mother, Jo Anne Stier; her father, Paul Berry; sisters, Theresa Ann Williams and Tammy Stier; nephews, Jade Williams; nieces, Bran-

di Williams (Derek), Mallory (Gage) Richardson and Bailee Stier; great-nephews, Gavin, Brody and Leo; and great-nieces, Shelby and Oatleigh; and his circle of friends.

Rex will be deeply missed by those who knew and loved him.

Rex was cremated and services will be at a later date. In lieu of flowers, and as an expression of sympathy, memorials may be designated to Paula, in his name.

Girlfriend’s stunning revelation leaves entire family shocked DEAR ABBY: My son and his live-in girlfriend were expecting a baby. My daughter planned the shower, and it was a wonderful eight months of excitement. I was included in the ultrasounds and all information, and we were all anticipating the big day. Two weeks before the baby was due, my son showed up and announced that the baby is not his. He was heartbroken, as were all of us.

I had given them items that should have stayed in the family, and many of his friends and our extended family gave them a lot of gifts. Shouldn’t those things be returned? She cheated on my son, became pregnant by another man and then waited until the end to break his heart. Your advice would be appreciated. — SAD AND MAD IN IDAHO DEAR SAD AND MAD: Please accept my sympathy for the very real loss your family has experienced. My question to you would be, how is your son handling this revelation? Is the relationship over, or is there a chance he could forgive her, reconcile and accept the baby as his own?

(Some men do.)

If that’s the case, let things stand as they are. However, if he won’t, you should politely ask for the family items to be returned.

Rightfully, they should be. Assuming they are in her possession and were given as gifts, she may refuse, and you can’t force her. Be prepared, hang onto your temper and try not to say anything for which you might be sorry later.

This is a time for negotiation, not vendetta.

DEAR ABBY: I was raped when I was 13. My uncle was the person who took me to the home

of his friend who raped me. After that, my uncle started molesting me. Instead of believing me, my parents believed my uncle’s lies.

They blamed and abandoned me afterward. I had to learn about life the hard way.

My dad is dead now, and I don’t associate with my mom or anyone on her side of the family. I always mess up any relationship I have.

I love the guy I have been seeing for three years, but I’m still doing the same things that ruined my last relationships. I have a huge problem with trust, even with this new guy. How do I stop acting like this? — NEEDS HELP IN FLORIDA DEAR NEEDS HELP: Considering your history, your trust issues are a normal reaction to what was done to you by your family. That your parents would believe your abuser instead of you when you told them you had been assaulted is appalling.

If there is a rape treatment center near where you live, reach out to it for help. If there isn’t, and you can’t afford private counseling, contact the county department of mental health and ask to talk to a licensed psychotherapist.

Members of 13 bargaining units vote to keep union ties

DES MOINES — Members of 13 teacher bargaining units have voted to maintain their union affiliations under Iowa’s new collective bargaining laws. Iowa Public Employment Relations Board staff counted the votes Tuesday. Of the nearly 1,300 eligible voters, more than 1,100 voted to maintain their units. The new collective bargaining laws require public-sector unions to recertify every time they face a new contract negotiation. Previously they held elections if one of their members petitioned for decertification.

Reynolds highlights NFL criticism to raise money DES MOINES — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds is highlighting her criticism of football players who kneel during the national anthem to raise money for her gubernatorial race. The Republican governor’s campaign sent an email Tuesday summarizing comments she made one day earlier about NFL players. She told reporters that players who take the knee are “so disrespectful” because the American flag represents respect for veterans.

LUANA — Authorities said a northeastern Iowa man has died after being trapped in a grain bin in Clayton County.

Officials say Walter was completely covered by the corn in the incident reported around 1:40 p.m. Monday. It took rescue crews about an hour to find and remove Walter from the bin. He was pronounced dead at Central Community Hospital in Elkader.

Tribal leader irked by state deal with Dakota Access builder

AP Photo Eight-year-old Ian Steward with his Outlaw Cage Kart, recently at his home in West Burlington. Steward, a fourth generation racer recently won the English Creek Speedway 2017 Outlaw Dirt Kart Nationals Restricted Box Stock Division Champion trophy.

Young racer running circles around the competition

BURLINGTON (AP) — It is a typical 8-year old boy’s room, complete with athletic posters on the walls and a scattering of games and misplaced clothes. But there is one difference, because on a large shelf rests a collection of shinning trophy cups, plaques and ribbons attesting to Burlington’s Ian Steward’s racetrack driving skills.

At an age where many of his peers are content to roam their neighborhoods on bicycles and skate boards, Ian has tackled and mastered the skills of circling a dirt oval track behind the wheel of a mini-sprint car at speeds up to 40 miles per hour while negotiating heavy traffic.

This August, Ian’s skills behind the wheel of his 6.5 horsepower mini-sprint car were recognized when he took first place honors in the 10-to-12 age class at the prestigious English Creek Speedway at the Knoxville track. The towering trophy dominates his awards shelf but Ian is anxious to add further hardware to his display.

Ian’s preferred mode of transportation is a “Winged Outlaw Dirt

Kart”. It was conceived as an entry level vehicle for youngsters wishing to become involved in the highly competitive world of Sprint Car racing. The mini-sprint cars differ from a go-cart’s flat profile in that they have a sprint car style cage attached and are opened wheel.

The karts were first raced in California in the 1980s and are intended to provide a higher degree of driver safety. In addition to the protective cage, they boast a high back seat and five point seat belts.

Drivers also are equipped with a protective neck collar and arm restraints.

In spite of these safety precautions, there can still be a degree of anxiety for parents watching their child take to the 1/6 mile oval for the first time.

Ian’s father, Donnie Stewart, and his mother, Becca, are well acquainted with these normal parental worries — even though Donnie is an experienced racer and competes at area tracks.

“I do a lot of driving, and Ian watched what I was doing and one day told me he wanted to drive,”

Donnie remembers. “At first he wanted to race motorcycles, but I knew he was way too young for that, so we settled on the mini-sprint cars. We started him off slow when he was 6. There was a restrictor on the engine, and we made sure he had a feeling for what he was doing.

“But I have to admit, I was pretty nervous when I watched his first race and he pulled out to pass another slower cart. It still can be pretty nerve wracking watching him race,” Donnie said Ian, when pressed, will also confess to a certain amount of nervousness at his first race.

“It was a little frightening when I started and I pulled out to pass another car. But it wasn’t too bad, and now it’s just a lot of fun, and I have made a lot of good friends at the track,” he said.

Ian’s pit crew largely consists of his father, but a number of local sponsors, Big River Resources, Heartland Harley Davidson, Jerry’s Main Lunch and Big River Resources, help defer some of the costs. But the Stewards are aware racing can be an expensive sport.

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The leader of the Standing Rock Sioux and an attorney for private North Dakota landowners believe the builder of the Dakota Access pipeline got off too lightly when it settled allegations by state regulators that it violated rules during construction.

North Dakota’s Public Service Commission, which could have fined Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners hundreds of thousands of dollars but didn’t, has defended the agreement, saying its provisions are more meaningful than a fine. ETP says the agreement proves the company is a good corporate citizen.

The PSC last year accused Energy Transfer Partners of not reporting to regulators the discovery of American Indian artifacts, which were not disturbed. The commission also was investigating whether crews removed too many trees and mishandled soil while laying pipe.

The agreement approved last week calls for ETP to help develop and promote an industry manual for handling artifacts discoveries, to plant many more trees along the pipeline route than the company had proposed, and to address any landowner concerns about soil remediation.

ETP is not required to admit any liability, which irks Standing Rock Sioux Chairman Dave Archambault, who believes the state is allowing the

company to “fool everybody.”

“The costs of their unlawful behavior, their unjust behavior, are insignificant compared to what their gains are going to be” from the $3.8 billion pipeline, he said.

The pipeline began moving North Dakota oil through South Dakota and Iowa to a distribution point in Illinois on June 1.

Private landowners’ attorney Derrick Braaten said a fine might have sent a better message about following state rules. He said he’s “nervous about the message this sends to other applicants, particularly because I have landowners with interests in lands affected by other pipelines with siting applications before the PSC.” The settlement came after weeks of private negotiations and no public hearings.

“This is all disturbing to me,” Archambault said. “It seems like when the tribes speak, nobody listens, but when somebody else says something, the state listens.”

Commissioner Brian Kroshus has estimated it will cost ETP more than $100,000 to meet the terms of the settlement.

Commissioner Julie Fedorchak said after the commission approved the deal that “We weren’t looking for the death penalty here. We wanted to hold the company responsible for fulfilling their obligations and commitments to the citizens.”

Time to get ready for flu season

Metro Photo Packing healthy lunches is an important step for your child’s needs. Be sure to include energy-sustaining food to help your child make it through the day.

3 ways to pack a healthier lunch Prepare your kids with energy-sustaining foods

By Jenny Thompson, RD, LD, CDE Newton Hy-Vee

Mini Turkey Sliders

We all know after the first school bell rings, the race is on.

Busy schedules get even busier, the days get shorter and packing healthy lunches can become more challenging.

1. Think Outside the Lunchbox Take the pressure off building the perfect lunch by thinking in terms of food groups instead of traditional foods. You might picture a sandwich with a side of fruit and milk as the standard, for example, but as long as you’re including at least three food groups — fruits, veggies, whole grains, and protein and dairy — you can get away with catering more to your child’s tastes. This might mean cheese and whole grain crackers instead of a sandwich, for instance.

2. Include New Foods It’s good to introduce new foods early on to promote healthy eating practices. Eating a variety of different colored fruits and vegetables and different types of grains is the best way to get the nutrients needed for good health and sustained energy. Have your child choose a new fruit to try or blend greens, such as spinach into a fruit smoothie.

All you do: 1. Combine turkey, cheese, breadcrumbs and grated onion; mixing until just combined. Season with salt and pepper. Form into eight patties.

Makes 8

All you need: 1 pound lean ground turkey 1/2 c. Hy-Vee shredded cheddar cheese 1/4 c. Hy-Vee whole wheat breadcrumbs 1/2 small yellow onion, grated Hy-Vee salt and Hy-Vee pepper, to taste

Although Iowa’s influenza season typically does not begin until November, the Iowa Department of Public Health’s (IDPH) influenza surveillance network has already reported a handful of influenza cases in the state. “Flu vaccine is plentiful,” said IDPH Medical Director, Dr. Patricia Quinlisk.

“Since it takes up to two weeks after vaccination for the body to develop full protection against the flu virus, being vaccinated now means you’ll be protected before the flu starts spreading and for the rest of the flu season.”

Essentially every Iowan over 6 months of age should receive the flu vaccine. It is especially important for some people to be vaccinated against influenza because they are at higher risk of developing serious complications, like pneumonia, if they get sick with the flu. These groups include: • Pregnant women (by getting vaccinated when pregnant, the woman not only protects herself during this vulnerable time, but she will pass on protection to her newborn who is too young to receive a vaccine.)

• Children, especially those younger than 2 years of age

• Older adults, especially those aged 65 years and over • People who have certain medical conditions like asthma, diabetes and chronic lung disease The flu is a respiratory illness caused by viruses. Illness typically lasts two to seven days. The flu comes on suddenly and may cause severe illness or even death, even in healthy individuals. The “stomach bug,” which causes diarrhea and vomiting, is NOT caused by the influenza virus, but usually by a different virus called “norovirus;” thus, the flu vaccine will not protect you against this illness.

No one can predict what the upcoming flu season will be like, but the flu season in the southern hemisphere can be an indication. It has been an especially severe flu season in Australia, which could indicate widespread flu in the U.S. this winter. One thing is certain: your best defense against getting the flu is an annual vaccination. In addition, by being vaccinated, you will prevent spreading the flu to those around you.

Cardinals push Pella on Senior Night

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Going for a tip at the net over two Pella defenders is Newton senior Lucy Lilienthal, left, in Tuesday’s NHS Senior Night match against the visiting Class 4A No. 2 Lady Dutch. Pella won the Little Hawkeye Conference contest, 25-13, 25-20, 25-21.

There was no going gentle into that good night for Newton High’s Cardinals Tuesday night. Despite losing in three sets to Class 4A second-ranked Pella Lady Dutch, the Cardinals waged a sideout, point-for-point match on the NHS Senior Night.

Pella won the Little Hawkeye Conference match 25-13, 25-20, 25-21 to improve to 5-0 in conference action and 19-2 overall. Newton dropped to 0-7 in LHC play and 3-15 overall.

“The girls played tough and hung in it in every set. In the last two, we really gave them a run for their money,” Newton head coach Ashley Carter said.

“We have turned a corner with our mental toughness and staying power at the end of these sets. We plan to learn from this game and put in some court time for our upcoming tournament on Saturday.”

The Lady Dutch will be back in Newton to defend its Cardinal Invitational tournament title on Saturday. The Cardinals finished second in the tournament last year. Also in the tournament are Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont, Boone, Grand View Christian, Carlisle, Harlan and Ottumwa.

Prior to the match, Newton honored its nine seniors and their parents. The Cardinal seniors are Alexis Hoffman, Audry Lucas, Rachel Berkland, VOLLEYBALL | 6B

Mustangs can’t keep up with Nevada

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — Prairie City-Monroe volleyball coach Alex Samson is still trying to figure out the perfect lineup in her first season at her alma mater.

Samson changed to a 6-2 format during Monday night’s Roland-Story tournament, and initial thoughts were positive in a win over South Hardin.

Tuesday night, things didn’t go as well against Nevada during a three-set home loss to the Cubs.

Nevada won its 47th straight Heart of Iowa

Conference match and improved to 4-0 in 2017 following a 25-10, 25-13, 25-10 win.

“I don’t think we were all there together tonight,” Samson said. “They are a good team, but we deserved more than we got tonight, and that’s really frustrating.

“We have been playing with a 6-2. I need a lot more height at the net.

I thought we need three hitters at this point. The new set up worked well last night against South Hardin, but it never got on track tonight.”

The Mustangs strug-

gled with their passing, didn’t serve that well and collected only 11 kills in three sets.

PCM fell behind 5-1 in the first set, trailed 7-1 early in the set two and went down 9-1 in the final set against the Cubs, who improved to 16-10 on the season.

“We had way too many over passes, and that eliminates our chance to attack,” Samson said. “It’s really hard to win when you can’t attack the net.

We missed too many serves tonight, too.”

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLO — Running against mostly Class 2A and 3A schools, the 1A Baxter cross country teams held their own at the Nevada Invitational at Hickory Grove Park.

Tigerhawk runners Baxter volleyball sweeps compete at Knoxville GMG in conference play

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News KNOXVILLE — The Colfax-Mingo cross country teams competed in the Knoxville Invitational at Pine Knolls Golf Course on Tuesday.

Competing without its top runner and with its No. 2 runners slowed by illness, the Tigerhawk girls placed 13th out of 14 teams.

Most of the teams ahead of the Tigerhawks are in Class 3A or 4A. The C-M boys finished 17th in a 17-team field. The Tigerhawks were only one of three 1A schools in the field.

Leading the girls was freshman Crystal Lincoln, who placed 55th with a time of 23 minutes, 47.3 seconds.

Colfax-Mingo coach Zach Tomas rested top runner Abbey McConeghey and junior Ilia Hostetter ran with an illness she’s been battling for a few days.

“I am very proud of our kids and our efforts,” Tomas said. “While the

team results may not reflect it, we had some great things happen tonight.

“There were several PRs with a tough field of runners.”

Class 3A No. 9 Grinnell (37) won the girls’ team title by one point over 3A No. 12 Pella (38).

The top runner on the boys’ side was junior Cauy Fitch, who was 64th with a time of 19:40.2.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — The Baxter volleyball team overcame a sluggish start and fought off an improving GMG squad during Iowa Star Conference South Division play on Tuesday night.

Senior Jordynn Wesselink had 21 kills and 18 digs and sophomore Amber Weltha finished with 15 kills as the Bolts ended the Wolverines’ threematch win streak with a 25-23, 27-25, 25-12 home win.

“We played very well against a team which is improving,” Baxter coach Scott Ranck said.

“We started out a little sluggish but got it rolling when we needed to.

Give credit to our girls for stepping up their play.”

Four coaches, Adidas executive charged in college bribe scheme NEW YORK (AP) — In one of the biggest crackdowns on the corrupting role of money in college basketball, 10 men — including a top Adidas executive and four assistant coaches — were charged Tuesday with using hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes to influence star athletes’ choice of schools, shoe sponsors, agents, even tailors.

Some of the most explosive allegations appeared to involve Louisville, one of college basketball’s biggest powerhouses, which is already on NCAA probation over a sex scandal.

Federal prosecutors said at least three top high school recruits were promised payments of as much as $150,000, using money supplied by Adidas, to attend two universities sponsored by the athletic shoe company.

Court papers didn’t name the schools but contained enough details to identify them as Louisville and Miami.

“The picture of college basketball painted by the charges is not a pretty one,” said acting U.S. Attorney Joon H. Kim, adding that the defendants were “circling blue-chip prospects like coyotes” and exploited them to enrich themselves.

Prosecutors said that while some of the bribe money went to athletes and their families, some went to coaches, to get them to use their influence over their potentially NBA-bound players.

The coaches charged are Chuck Person of Auburn, Emanuel Richardson of Arizona, Tony Bland of Southern California and Lamont Evans of Oklahoma State.

Person and Evans were suspended, and Bland was placed on administrative leave.

Bland appeared in court in Tampa, Flori-

da, wearing handcuffs and ankle chains. He said little during a brief hearing other than to answer the judge’s questions and did not enter a plea.

Richardson appeared in court in Tucson, Arizona, where he was set for release on $50,000 bond. His lawyer declined to comment.

Those charged also include James Gatto, director of global sports marketing for basketball at Adidas; Rashan Michel, a maker of custom suits for some of the NBA’s biggest stars; and various financial advisers and managers.

Since 2015, the FBI has been investigating the influence of money on coaches and players in the NCAA. Kim noted a special FBI hotline was set up and asked anyone aware of additional corruption to come forward.

Prosecutors said the coaches took bribes to use their “enormous influence” to steer players toward certain financial advisers and agents.

Most if not all of the 10 defendants were under arrest. Lawyers for Gatto and two of the coaches did not immediately respond to requests for comment. It was unclear whether Evans had an attorney.

Adidas said it was unaware of any misconduct by an employee and vowed to fully cooperate with authorities.

Gatto and others are accused of funneling $100,000 to the family of a high school athlete to gain his commitment to play at Louisville and to sign with Adidas once he became a professional.

Louisville and Adidas announced a 10year, $160 million extension of their sponsorship deal over the summer.

T h e Bolts held off a late GMG (713 overall, 2-2 in conference play) rally to win the opening Wesselink set.

B a x ter (7-6, 3-1) fell behind 7-2 in the second set but rallied to take the lead.

GMG regained the lead at 24-22.

With the match tied at 25-all, Wesselink powered through a pair of kills to put the Bolts up 2-0 in the match.

Baxter dominated the third set.

Wesselink had nine of her 21 kills in the final set.

She had a .455 hitting efficiency on the night. She finished with a pair of as-

sists and was 11-of-14 in serves.

Weltha had a .343 hitting efficiency while collecting her 15 kills and she also had three blocks.

Junior Sydney Schmidt finished with 34 assists, nine digs and four aces, senior Sailor Hinegardner tallied 14 digs and two aces and senior Lexi Ewing finished with six digs.

Baxter missed on 12 serves but countered that with eight aces.

Senior Mary Schabilion was 14-of-15 in serves, and Hinegardner and Ewing were both 11of-12.

Baxter plays its third straight home match against Colo-NESCO at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

Iowa State excited for national spotlight vs. Texas AMES (AP) — Iowa State’s improvement under second-year coach Matt Campbell has gone largely unnoticed nationally.

The Cyclones can put themselves on the map with a big showing on Thursday night.

Iowa State (2-1) opens Big Campbell 12 play when it hosts Texas on national television. Although the Longhorns (1-2) are rebuilding under new coach Tom Herman, a strong showing would let the rest of the league know that the Cyclones, who won just three games in 2016, are ready to push for an upper-division finish.

“The country gets to see what we all know,” Campbell said. “The country gets an inward look at what Iowa State is about.”

Iowa State’s progress is most evident on offense — a unit that is setting school records seemingly every week.

The Cyclones set a new mark with its sixth straight game with at least 400 yards gained in a 41-14 blowout at Akron on Sept. 16.

They’ve also scored at least 40 points in three straight contests for the first time since 1976 and are tied for 16th nationally in scoring average.

Quarterback Jacob Park has been more than solid, throwing for 311.7 yards on 25.3 completions a game, and running back David Montgomery is third in the Big 12 with 107 yards a game.

But perhaps the biggest pleasant surprise for the Cyclones has been the play of their line. Despite four new starters, Iowa State’s offensive line has

been a strong point rather than a liability so far in 2017 under assistant coach Tom Manning.

“We’ve got some good leaders on the line, and one of the best (offensive) line coaches in the country,” Park said. “I really proud of those Cotton-Moya guys — and I’m happy to have them in front of me.”

Iowa State and Texas both enter Thursday’s game off a bye week, which could help the Cyclones get star safety Kamari Cotton-Moya back from an elbow injury.

Cotton-Moya hurt his elbow against Iowa on Sept. 9 and missed most of the second half of a 44-41 overtime loss.

Cotton-Moya, a senior who was an All-Big 12 preseason first-team pick, sat out against Akron but is in “pretty good shape” to play against the Longhorns, according to Campbell.

Starting cornerback D’Andre Payne also returned to practice following a hamstring injury, and defensive tackle Jamahl Johnson — who hasn’t played this season because of a high ankle sprain — is inching closer to making his debut.

“He’s a guy we’re really counting on and was playing at a really high rate for us,” Campbell said of Johnson.

The extra practice time also allowed highly touted defensive tackle Kamilo Tongamoa to get more comfortable in Iowa State’s scheme.

Tongamoa arrived toward the end of fall camp as he worked through academic issues. Though he has played in all three games, Tongamoa has just one tackle this season.

Mustangs: Lose to Nevada in straight sets Continued from Page 1B Samson hopes to turn her program into something Nevada already is. The Cubs’ offense is very fast, and the hitters are in the air before the set is passed. The Mustangs only see that type of volleyball a few times a season.

“It’s hard for us to get the block up and for our defense to get back,” Samson said.

“We didn’t have very good reaction time tonight. But we have seen it before with Roland-Story and Gilbert.

So it’s not totally new to us.”

The Cubs had 28 kills, four blocks and served up 19 aces in the win. The rest of the points were made on errors by PCM. The Mustangs missed five serves and struggled to pass the ball cleanly to teammates. Most of their attack shots were hit out of bounds or into the net.

“The passing wasn’t good, and our serve receive was off the last few matches, and I thought it was better tonight, but it still has to get better,” Samson said. “We have to put everything on the court.

You have to make them work for the points they get. We gave away too many points tonight.”

Junior Maddie Samson finished with four kills to lead the Mustang offense.

Senior Kenzie Johnson tallied two aces.

Nevada sophomore Kacie Rewerts came into the match ranked fifth in the HOIC with 137 kills. She finished with seven against PCM and tallied seven aces. Two other Cubs had seven kills each and another pitched in four.

Nevada also had 43 digs on the night. The Cubs did miss 13 serves.

The Mustangs (9-14 overall, 1-3 in the HOIC) get a week to work on getting better in practice. PCM hosts South Hamilton at 7 p.m.

Tuesday.

Mustangs split two at Roland-Story tournament STORY CITY — The Mustangs defeated South Hardin and lost to Carlisle at the Roland-Story tournament on Monday night.

PCM defeated South Hardin 21-18, 21-11 and Carlisle defeated the Mustangs 2116, 21-16.

The Mustangs had six aces against South Hardin. John-

Cardinals deny Cubs from clinching ST. LOUIS (AP) — Tommy Pham and Randal Grichuk homered and drove in two runs each and the St. Louis Cardinals denied the Chicago Cubs a chance at clinching the NL Central with an 8-7 victory Tuesday night.

Matt Carpenter and Jedd Gyorko also homered for St. Louis, which remains 2 1/2 games behind the second Wild Card spot.

Zach Duke (1-1) got the win with 1 2/3 innings of scoreless relief. Juan Nicasio earned his fifth save.

The Cubs were seeking to clinch the Central division with either a win or a Milwaukee loss against Cincinnati, but the Brewers beat the Reds 7-6.

Cardinals right-hander Carlos Martinez allowed three runs (two earned) and four hits in 4 1/3 innings. Cubs right-hander Jake Arrieta (14-10) allowed five runs (three earned) and six hits in three innings, his second shortest outing this season.

Astrograph

This time the opposing planets to blame for the drama are Jupiter, the mack daddy of the zodiac, and Uranus, the rebellious galactic rock star. The impact is akin to an epic work, like a rock opera in which it suddenly seems perfectly normal for people to be singing their story at full volume and expressing themselves on the grand scale.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.

27). A win-win: You’ll inspire people as you look for inspiration yourself. You’ll get to know someone much better and this will lead to lifestyle upgrades and improvements.

The spiritual work you do has very practical benefits in 2018.

Romance decorates your year.

You’ll complete a study or big project in May. Aries and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 39, 2, 28 and 44.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

They’re falling in love with your smile. If only they knew how difficult it can be to take the sunny route. It’s often automatic, but just as often not.

Something good usually happens when levity wins, though.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

How much caring is too much?

You’ll wonder this as your love expands along with your involvement in, and expectations of, a relationship. Take

your time. This part requires thoughtfulness and space.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

There are people from your past whose paths you may never cross again who think of you in a certain way. You can’t control or change that, but you can definitely make a fresh impression on the people you meet today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

To wish for an easy route -- well, it wouldn’t be wrong, but it wouldn’t be you, either.

You’ll take what comes naturally and know what it feels like to get stronger and smarter for the work.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Some will find the way; others will find the excuse. You’re at a

point where you need to decide how much it means to you.

Much will be riding on how important the mission is and how deeply you are committed to it.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Reality and your dream of it do not seem very far apart from one another today. But there are still a few key differences.

Take these obstacles into consideration one by one. Be methodical.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Conflict comes from facing life head-on. So does peace.

Avoidance keeps the tension going unnecessarily. Today, everything is better handled very quickly if not immediately. Speak to each moment in that moment.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The people in charge may place roadblocks to deter the faint-hearted or those who are only mildly interested. You’ve every reason to keep trying.

You’ll quickly prove you’re not in that category, and doors will open to you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The leadership position will come with stressful responsibilities and expectations, and yet somehow that won’t bother you the way it would others. Things will be better when you’re in charge.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Relax and let things unfold naturally. Even with today’s lengthy to-do list, you’ll approach with the right

attitude, handle it all and even have some fun along the way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You see funny things today -- or maybe you just notice what’s always been there but you suddenly see the humor in it. Stress levels go down with every laugh.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Opportunities will present themselves in coy, understated ways. The best one will sit quietly, not drawing much attention. You won’t be fooled.

You know a good thing when you see it. Seize the moment.

Cardinal harriers run in Knoxville Invitational

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News KNOXVILLE — Running on a cool fall day, Newton High’s girls and boys posted personal and season best times competing in Tuesday’s Knoxville Invitational cross country meet.

“This was a huge night for personal records. We bounced back in an amazing way after competing in the Griak Invitational in Minnesota on Saturday,” Newton boys’ head coach Steve Weeks said. “The boys looked loose and confident. It showed in their times.”

The Cardinal boys finished ninth out of 17 teams, scoring 244 points. Nine of the Newton boys who competed in varsity and junior varsity races ran personal-best times on the Pine Knolls Country Club golf course.

Oskaloos was the boys’ champion with 44 points in a field of 17 teams. Grinnell took second with 52 points and Pella was third with 104 points. Colfax-Mingo was 17th with 459 points.

Newton’s girls claimed fourth place as a team in a field of 13 teams. Grinnell was first with 37 points followed

by Pella in second with 38 points. Winterset scored 144 points for third and Newton had 171 points, one less than host Knoxville (172) in fifth.

Colfax-Mingo scored 335 points for 13th.

“There were so many things the girls did well today and it showed in their times and places,” Newton girls’ head coach Rachelle Tipton said.

“For one, we made great use of the downhills and the momentum they created.”

Adam Hunter paced the Cardinal boys with a sixthplace finish. He ran the 5K course in a personal-best time of 17 minutes, 39 seconds.

Dylan Main was the No. 2 runner with a 19:07 for 38th place.

“I’m very excited to see Adam get in the 17s, but he did so in such a convincing manner. The next huge surprise and awesome coaching moment comes from junior varsity runner akita Gooden,”

Weeks said. “Dakota was in the 30s when he final broke into the 20s twice then tonight he smashed his goal to drop another minute by taking four minutes off his time.”

Running personal-best times for Newton were Luke Zaabel in 19:13 for 43rd, Chad Nolin, 19:38.8, for 63rd, Anthony Bestell, 21:07, for 98th, Blake Robson, 22:20, for 109th and Trent Hamand, 23:22, for 117th.

In the boys’ junior varsity race, all three Newton runners notched personal-best times. Addison Dunwell ran the race in 24:01 followed by Gooden in 24:41 and Isaak Miller, who ran his first-ever race, in 30:32.

The Cardinal girls were led by Rachel Rhoads, who finished 13th in 21:26. Clare Muckler posted a season’s-best time of 21:46 for 20th. Ashay Malow was 25th in a personal-best time of 22:10.

Newton’s No. 4 runner was Tessa Keeton, finishing in a season’s-best time of 24:10 for 61st. Also in a season’s-best time of 24:20, Abbie Barr was

64th. Original Tesfay was 77th in 25:58 and Jenna Smith was 82nd in a season’s-best time of 26:28.

“Rachel did a great job working with the top pack.

The rest worked great in pairs,” Tipton said. “Clare and Ashay pushed each other and made moves throughout the race as did Tessa and Abbie and Original and Jenna. Everybody passed somebody that made the difference in our placing fourth.”

Five runners for the Newton girls’ junior varsity team had personal-best times at Knoxville. Williow Oswalt was 35th in a personal-best time of 25:29 followed by Liz McVey in 26:20 for 53rd. Jordan Banfield was 57th in a personal-best 26:54.

Running personal-best times were Abigail Adkison, 27:57, for 70th, Jillian Waits, 32:45, for 98th and Sadie Steinbach, 38:39, for 105th.

Titpton said similar to the varsity race, Oswalt did an amazing job of going out and pushing herself against the top runners, and the others

Swimming Continued from Page 1B Finishing the night with another relay victory was the 400 freestyle relay team of Zahn, Michener, Makenna Brooks and Natalie Boll in 4:12.74.

The team of Hill, Urias, Kibbee and Erika Van Sickle was third in 4:27.37.

NCMP’s junior varsity got the night started well winning the 200 medley relay with the team of Camila Schlosser, Harley Neal, Kali Smith and Alona Kosenko in 2:45.95. The 200 freestyle relay team of Molly Lamb, Delaney Nasalroad, Brooke McNeer and Molly Coy took first in 2:15.25.

Coy, Paulius, Emma Thomas and Prime combined for the winning time of 4:34.58 in the 400 freestyle relay race.

“Our junior varsity swimmers did really well and won every event we swam,” Patterson said. “This was a good confidence booster as we head into a

Hawks compete at Williamsburg Invitational

Continued from Page 1B Harlie Durr, Lucy Lilienthal, Madison Bleeker, Jasmine Bailey, Addy Blom and Carter Lee. In the opening set, Hoffman served three straight points for Newton including a kill by Lilenthal and an ace serve to wipe out a 6-4 deficit. Unfortunately, the Lady Dutch had a fivepoint run at the service line to take the lead again.

Newton trailed 13-10, but could not get any closer. Pella netted the 2513 win of the first set.

A tip by freshman setter Kate Callaghan evened things at 2-all in the second set. Callaghan went back to serve, and her string of four points began with a Lilienthal kill. The Cardinals stayed in front in a back-andfourth set of sideouts.

Pella pulled even at 14-14. The set was tied six more times before the Lady Dutch had a defensive point followed by serving four consecutive to take the set win, 25-20.

Newton jumped out to a 3-1 lead in the third set and kept battling Pella.

There were several long rallies by the teams for points. Newton was up 119. Pella had back-to-back four-point serving runs to take a 19-14 lead.

Hoffman had a kill to make it 2015 and Callaghan served a point. It took eight more rotations before the Lady Dutch were able to claim a 25-21 set win and finish the match.

Lilienthal finished with seven kills on the night while Hoffman had five kills. Bleeker and Callaghan each downed four kills. Lucas and Berkland each had two kills.

Bleeker recorded a solo block at the net for Newton. Hoffman and Callaghan had a block assist apiece. Callaghan was credited with 19 set assists and Lucas had two set assists.

Lee, Newton’s libero, put up 15 digs and Lucas had 14 digs. Berkland made 12 digs and Durr had 11 digs. Hoffman made six digs and Callaghan had four digs. Durr had one dig.

pushed each other. McVey and Banfield ran well together and it was exciting to see Adkison keeping them in her sights, leading to a huge personal record, Tipton said.

“Jillian pushed Sadie through the early part of the race and they also saw big time drops,” Tipton said. “We will use this week to get in some good training and get ready for some fun meets next week and conference after that. We are looking good heading into the last stretch.”

Weeks said the Newton boys’ varsity continues towards its goal of getting all runners under the 20-minute mark. He said they begin to eye their big goal of beating a team or two at the Little Hawkeye Conference meet this season, which Newton hosts on Oct. 9 at Westwood Golf Course.

Newton competes on Monday at Norwalk.

WILLIAMSBURG — Lynnville-Sully’s girls finished fourth with 92 points and the boys were seventh with 168 points in Tuesday’s Williamsburg Invitational cross country meet.

“We finally got a break in the heat we’ve raced in the last three meets, plus we were back to a course we raced on the first meet of the season, and knew that it was flat and could produce fast times,” Lynnville-Sully coach Darin Arkema said.

Solon won the girls’ team championship with 25 points and Williamsburg was second with 37. Tipton was third with 86. Tipton’s boys scored 22 points to win the team title followed by Williamsburg with 35 points and Solon with 93 points.

The Hawk girls were led by Mary Kate Shaver with a sixth-place finish, running the 5K course in 21 minutes, 6 seconds. Meagan Van Zante placed 17th in 22:32 and Abby Gruver ran 27th in 23:32.

Christine Nikkel posted a 24:05 for 30th, just ahead of teammate Abigail Davis, 24:09, for 31sth. Emily Van Gorp was 36th in 24:28 and Haley Breeden was 37th in 24:39.

Hailey Scandridge finished 44th in 25:40 and Brittney Hansen was 49th in 26:26. Hadley Tice ran the course in 27:41 for 58th.

“All of the girls that ran in the first meet were faster tonight, anywhere from 10 seconds up to just over 3 minutes, with most of them being at least 2 minutes improved,” Arkema said.

In the first race at Williamsburg this season, the Hawk boys only had three runners and did not have a team score. On Tuesday, there were five Lynnville-Sully boys running the 5K race with Josh Dunsbergen leading the way in 20th with a time of 18:58.

Joseph Anderson and Mason Jansen went 52nd and 53rd, respectively, in 23:33 and 20:36. Blaize Kuhlmann was 64th in 21:42 and Luke Kramer finished 83rd in 24:41.

“The boys ran some strong performances tonight, all of them either setting personal bests or season bests. Josh was about 45 seconds better tonight than the first meet earning a top 20 finish,” Arkema said. “Both Joseph and Mason were around a minute faster. Blaize and Luke didn’t run the first meet here but each had season best times.”

Lynnville-Sully’s athletes run at 4:30 p.m. on Monday at North Polk.
