Judge dismisses defamation suit tied to Copper Dollar Ranch murders Newton Daily News

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News The first rain day was a welcome relief for farmer Will Cannon, but after a week of wet, dismal weather Cannon’s all caught up on equipment repairs and paperwork, and he’s itching to get back out into the fields again. Despite a USDA report suggesting statewide harvesting operations are lagging behind schedule, Jasper County farmers are cautiously optimistic about this year’s crop.

Soybean harvesting started first, and Cannon reported he’s more than 80 percent complete with this year’s soybean harvest.

Dry conditions throughout the growing season had many farmers concerned about low yields, and in August the USDA issued a drought relief declaration for Jasper County, but Cannon and other farmers haven’t seen much cause for alarm yet.

It’s definitely better than we’d been anticipating, it’s much more variable this year than in years past,” Cannon said. “We’re seeing some really poor spots and some really good spots all in the same field.”

An Indian summer allowed farmers to get a jumpstart on the soybean harvest this year, but many farmers have been waiting on corn in hopes that it would continue to dry. According to

the USDA report, only 8 percent of corn has been harvested statewide, at a moisture level of 22 percent, putting farmers two weeks behind schedule. Many farmers have been waiting to harvest corn in hopes the extra time will allow the plant to dry further, which reduces costly drying time after the crops are harvested.

While 60 percent of the corn crop is rated at good to excellent by the USDA, Cannon said drought conditions earlier in the year are pushing farmers to get crops out of the fields as fast as they can.

“With the drought season, the corn doesn’t have as strong of a stalk as it usually does, which can create downed corn in the fields,” Cannon said. “Everyone is going to be motivated to get out there and make up time.”

Cannon’s goal is to be finished harvesting by the end of this month, but much of the work is weather dependent. While it hasn’t been the “full throttle harvest” he’d hoped for, Cannon doesn’t feel like farmers are as behind as the USDA report would suggest.

Gordon Wassenaar, who farms near Prairie City echoed Cannon’s sentiments. He’s heard good things from friends and neighbors, and his soybean harvest is already looking better than he expected. Wassenaar said the growing season benefited from some late rains, and now the focus has

$2.4 million allotted for county motor grader purchases

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Jasper County Supervisors on Tuesday approved about $2.4 million to purchase 10 new motor graders. The Caterpillar graders will replace 10 John Deere graders currently used by the county.

During the bidding process, county engineer Russ Stutt requested several criteria for the purchase including an outright purchase price, a five-year guaranteed vendor repurchase and a five-year lease price.

The county received bids from Caterpillar and John Deere for the purchase with Caterpillar being the desired choice.

“Cat gave us both the lease option and the guaranteed repurchase along with the outright purchase,” Stutt said.

“John Deere gave us a lease option and an outright purchase but did not submit a guaranteed repurchase.”

The Caterpillar fiveyear guaranteed vendor repurchase sets a price for each motor grader at $150,000, more than half of the initial $245,650 purchase price. John Deere did not offer a repurchase price, a program Stutt said the company has been rumored to be struggling with.

Along with the motor graders, the county selected a five-year location and machine tracking function at $300 per machine. The GPS system keeps track of where the machine has been and helps document fuel costs.

“It also eliminates the process of us filling out GRADER | 3A

shifted to finding dry days to get crops out of the fields.

“It’s pretty good in Iowa overall, there are a few spots in eastern Iowa where the corn is awful good,” Wassenaar said.

Despite the muddy conditions, Cannon said he’s sure some farmers are working around the weather and continuing to harvest corn, but he said he hasn’t been out in his fields for more than a week.

He’s worried that harvesting in these conditions will damage the soil, which would have an adverse effect on next year’s crop.

“We’re going to start running into muddy conditions and with these shorter days it’s going to create some harvest delays,” Cannon said.

Despite delays, the harvest doesn’t stop until farmers have all of their crops out of the ground.

It means many will have to work long hours on short days to finish, but despite these challenges, farmers are confident that it’ll be worth it. Yields may not match last year’s totals, but Cannon and Wassenaar agreed many farmers will be pleasantly surprised to see where they end up after a summer with very little rain.

“Jasper County by and large has a pretty good crop,” Wassenaar said.

A federal judge has dismissed a defamation lawsuit against the lead Jasper County investigator and prosecutor who in 2015 unsuccessfully sought to convict a former Newton woman in the 1983 deaths of her estranged husband and his girlfriend.

U.S. District Judge Rebecca Goodgame Ebinger ruled that Theresa “Terri” Supino’s defamation claims against Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty and Jasper County Attorney Mike Jacobsen lacked adequate legal basis, according to the Associated Press.

Supino became the primary suspect of the March 3, 1983 murders of her estranged husband, 20-yearold Steven Fisher, and his girlfriend, 17-year-old Melisa Gregory. Both were discovered dead by blunt force trauma at the former Copper Dollar Ranch northwest of Newton. Gregory was found in a camper trailer on the property while Fisher was outside. Halferty reopened the 34-year-old cold case investigation in 2012.

Supino was acquitted by in Black Hawk County jury in 2015 following a three-week trial. Her attorneys at the time argued there was no physical evidence such as DNA or fingerprints tying Supino to the murders, although she admitted to driving to

Central Iowa Today Today in History

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Oct. 13, 2017

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Friday, Oct. 13, the 286th day of 2017. There are 79 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 13, 1792, the cornerstone of the executive mansion, later known as the White House, was laid by President George Washington during a ceremony in the District of Columbia.

On this date: In 1775, the United States Navy had its origins as the Continental Congress ordered the construction of a naval fleet.

In 1932, President Herbert Hoover and Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes laid the cornerstone for the U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington.

In 1944, during World War II, American troops entered Aachen, Germany.

In 1962, Edward Albee’s four-character drama “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” opened on Broadway.

In 1999, the Senate rejected the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, with 48 senators voting in favor and 51 against, far short of the 67 needed for ratification.

In 2010, rescuers in Chile using a missile-like escape capsule pulled 33 men one by one to fresh air and freedom 69 days after they were trapped in a collapsed mine a halfmile underground.

Ten years ago: Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, after meeting with human-rights activists in Moscow, told reporters the Russian government under Vladimir Putin had amassed so much central authority that the power-grab could undermine its commitment to democracy.

Five years ago: Republicans Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan rallied college students in all corners of all-important Ohio and hammered at President Barack Obama for going easy on China over unfair trade practices; Obama took precious time off the campaign trail to practice for the next debate against his GOP rival.

One year ago: Donald Trump heatedly rejected the growing list of sexual assault allegations against him as “pure fiction,” hammering his female accusers as “horrible, horrible liars.” Bob Dylan was named winner of the Nobel prize in literature.

NEW YORK (AP) — In a flurry of unrestrained tweets and with the “RoseArmy” at her back, Rose McGowan has emerged a kind of whistleblowing avenger in the Harvey Weinstein saga, leaving a scorched path behind her across social media.

After long referencing a past incident with Weinstein, McGowan on Thursday for the first time said it outright: “HW raped me,” the actress wrote, apparently referring to the embattled former Weinstein Co. co-chairman. Weinstein representative Sallie Hofmeister said “any allegations of non-consensual contact are unequivocally denied by Mr. Weinstein.”

The Hollywood Reporter said McGowan confirmed it was Weinstein she was referring to; her representative did not respond to a message seeking comment.

McGowan’s accusation was the latest development in the fast-unraveling saga surrounding Weinstein.

Police detectives in New York and London said Thursday that they are taking a fresh look into sexual assault allegations against Harvey Weinstein now that some 30 women have accused the Hollywood film producer of inappropriate conduct. Hachette Book Group, one of the country’s top publishers, announced it has pulled the plug on its Weinstein Books imprint.

But it has been McGowan who spoke loudest Thursday, even though she spent half the day suspended by Twitter.

McGowan last year said that she had been raped by a “studio head.”

The New Yorker expose that ran Tuesday reported Weinstein had allegedly sexually assaulted three women, though the third woman was unnamed.

The New York Times earlier reported Weinstein paid a financial settlement of $100,000 to McGowan in 1997 after an episode at a hotel room during the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.

That settlement included provisions about speaking about the case in the future, but McGowan has increasingly refused to mince words.

“It’s on,” tweeted McGowan before launching into a series of tweets directed at Amazon head Jeff Bezos.

“I told the head of your studio that HW raped me,” said McGowan in tweets directed to Bezos.

“Over and Over I said it. He said it hadn’t been proven. I said I was the proof.”

Amazon did not return a message seeking comment.

Authorities are also seeking evidence against Weinstein, who in a video posted by celebrity website TMZ was shown Wednesday outside a Los Angeles home telling the paparazzi he’s “not doing OK” and that he “needs help.”

New York Police Department spokesman Peter Donald said Thursday that investigators are reviewing police files to see if anyone else reported being assaulted or harassed by him.

So far, no filed complaints have been found, he said, other than one well-known case that prompted an investigation in 2015, but authorities are encouraging anyone with information on Weinstein to contact the department.

The Maytags first came to Iowa in 1866 with Daniel Maytag moving by covered wagon to Laurel. Almost 30 years later, Parsons Band Cutter and Self Feeder Co. was co-founded by F.L. Maytag and in 1907 the first Maytag washing machine, the Pastime, was produced.

Not long after, in 1919, E.H. Maytag purchased a cow to provide fresh milk for his family. The purchase led E.H. Maytag to develop a champion herd of Holstein-Friesian dairy cows known throughout the world. In 1941, after taking over the family business and farm, Fred Maytag developed the first Maytag Blue Cheese using cow’s milk instead of the traditional sheep’s milk.

The production continued through a 2004 expansion of the caves and remodel of the cheese plant until a recall occurred due to a possible listeria contamination in 2016. At that time, the farm completed another year-long extensive remodel to meet Food Safety Modernization Act regulations and in just the past month and a half have started selling products.

In the initial complaint filed in February, Supino’s attorney Bruce H. Stoltze Jr. claimed his client was denied due process in the murder case and did not have the resources to deny statements of implied guilt, which were brought forward in witness testimony during the trial.

Supino was charged with two counts of first-degree murder March 3, 2014, the 31st anniversary of the murder, and spent the next year in jail awaiting trial.

The suit also accused Jacobsen and Halferty of false statements to the press during the course of the trial.

“The statements were of a kind that would reasonably be understood to attack the plaintiff’s (Supino) moral character and integrity; expose the plaintiff to public hatred, contempt or ridicule; and deprive the Plaintiff of the benefits of public confidence and social dealings,” the complaint stated.

While the initial ticket price for the graders is large, the county could see a return of more than $1.4 million by using the repurchase option on the 10 graders it cur-

floors and upgraded mechanicals.

The work has already started to pay off with Washington-based fiberglass recycling company Global Fiberglass Solutions selecting the location to invest $6 million, create 57 new jobs and utilize more than 100,000 square feet of the building.

The federal judge said Supino can’t sue under the U.S. Constitution for “reputational harms” and she failed to sufficiently plead a state claim.

The case was dismissed Thursday and Supino was denied the $500,000 in damages sought in the defamation suit.

To aid in reopening the cold case, Halferty brought in outside investigators from the TNT television show “Cold Justice.”

The sheriff said the program could provide investigative tools not at his disposal. The involvement of “Cold Justice” became a controversial topic during Supino’s trial.

Immediately following the verdict, Supino spoke with reporters in the courtroom, stating she believed her arrest was a device to get the “Cold Justice” episode to air and she intended to file a lawsuit.

“They wouldn’t air the show unless they had someone in custody and that somebody was me,” she said. “Even now I’m not done. I’m going to sue somebody.”

Space and a chip dipped in queso

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Oct. 13, 2017

Trending Mike Mendenhall

Editor’s note: This column originally published March 19, 2015 The first time I saw the solar system’s giant Jupiter was outside Pancheros. In Iowa City during my college years, midnight runs to get a fresh burrito, pop, chips and queso were a common occurrence.

On the sidewalk corner near the downtown Mexican restaurant, a University of Iowa graduate student in astronomy sat on a five gallon bucket next to a tip jar and a small telescope pointed toward the heavens. Downtown Iowa City on a Friday night is a bright place, full of light pollution. But even the college town’s night life is no match for one of the brightest objects

in the night’s sky.

It turns out the spirits-filled students of UI are perfect customers for a cosmic entrepreneur. The young astronomy student made solid tips that evening showing teens and 20-somethings, filled with liquid joy, trippy out-of-this-world sights. When I peered through that telescope, I saw the famous red eye of Jupiter and its four largest moons. This began my long-time love affair with the planet and its four Galilean satellites.

Astronomers have become enamored with the largest moons of Jupiter and Saturn in the past two decades.

Jupiter’s moon Europa is one of the largest bodies in the solar system with a possible subsurface ocean. Like Saturn’s moon Enceladus, Europa has a

“young surface” shaped by geological activity. Scientists hypothesize the surface is recycled by ocean currents underneath, treating the ice sheets as tectonic plates here on Earth. Both moons also have geysers on their surface, shooting salty, water ice into the vacuum of space sometimes hundreds of miles above the ice crust.

NASA announced March 11 another Galilean moon — Ganymede — also shows evidence of a subsurface ocean. The space agency announced plans earlier this year to send a “Clipper” probe to Europa with an expected launch in 2022. This will fly through the geysers’ water ice testing for organic compounds such as carbon or even for traces of microbial lifeforms.

The water is kept liquid on these moons due to tidal friction — the pulling and tugging on these planetary bodies’ crust and cores from the gravitational pull of their host gas giants. This repetitive action happens as the moons orbit the planets and generates heat.

Scientist believe the crust of the moons are made of silica-based material — aka rock. On earth, when salty water is churned against organic material in rock and paired with a heat source over millions/billions of years, life emerges. It’s the mantra of the scientific community: “Where there’s water, there’s life.”

The importance of exploring these icy moons can not be overstated. The effect on society of finding life on another planet would be profound, but finding life elsewhere in our own planetary backyard would suggest life is common throughout the universe.

This is the best time in human history to be a planetary science nerd. For the first time our species has the technology to find and prove whether life exists beyond our tiny blue dot. My love for burritos has brought more wonder to my life than I possibly could have imagined.

Wedded bliss can be expensive We all have those days ... if something can go wrong it will go wrong. I mean they have even named this adage ... Murphy’s Law. But for me, it’s been one of those months.

A few weeks back, the hubbs found a broken window on our four-seasons room. We’ve been keeping the drapes closed on each of the four, five-foot windows on the east and west sides in that room to help keep it cooler over the summer, so your guess is as good as mine as to when the damage actually happened. But one day we happened to look up from the outside and there it was, as plain as day, a huge hole the size of a dinner plate on the outside pane of the window.

We do have bird feeders around our deck and I’d say barely a day goes by that we don’t hear at least one bird collide into the glass as it confuses the reflection for a direct flight path to another feeder. But I doubt it was that.

We think it was probably something thrown from the lawnmower that did the deed.

So Mick went and purchased an new five foot window — cha-ching! — only to break the stupid thing when he got home and started unloading it.

We still have a dinner plate sized hole in the window.

The bills are rolling in for a medical issue Mick had this summer. I took him to the ER one Saturday morning with severe pain in his stomach. Turned out to be kidney stones. However, due to the narcotics given to him for the pain and the rise in his blood pressure, he ended up having a stroke.

Doctors were stymied by the entire incident, but that didn’t seem to matter when it came to the cost of his hospital stay.

Fortunately, he has very few lasting effects ... aside from the medical bills we’re paying off. Cha-ching.

Then over the weekend, my washing machine bit the dust. It never fails that type of thing happens when you’ve decided to take a hiatus from laundry during the week and catch up on all of it on the weekend. Of course that meant a trip to purchase a new one Sunday morning. Cha-ching!

I’ve been regularly airing up a few tires on my car for several weeks.

When you live on a gravel road, you become accustom to plugging in the air compressor or stopping by the gas station with the tire tester in hand. It is bound to happen, and usually at the most inconvenient times.

So anyway ...

Today, Mick took my car to get the tires fixed.

They found nails in two of them, and one of the tires was unable to be repaired. That meant a new tire.

But after more than a year of traveling on country roads, the tread was wearing down so it was decided to replace the two tires. Cha-ching!

Once back home, he discovered a screw had managed to find its way into a third tire before he even parked in the garage.

Go figure.

You know, now that I think about it, maybe it would be less expensive to get rid of Mick.

Bosses shouldn’t get to have ‘religious’ objections to health care When Obamacare — aka, the Affordable Care Act — became law in 2010, it mandated coverage of birth control without co-payments.

Some employers didn’t like the rule, and Hobby Lobby hated it so much that the company filed a lawsuit to stop it. Company owners said they didn’t believe in contraception and claimed that covering it for female employees violated their religious freedom.

Understand, the Obama administration went to great lengths to exempt churches and church-related institutions from the rule, while still guaranteeing their female employees the right to birth control if they wanted it.

Then the Supreme Court stepped in, siding with Hobby Lobby and ruling that “closely held” corporations with religious objections could join religious employers in excluding birth control from their insurance plans.

Now the Trump administration has gone a giant step further.

They’re now allowing any and all businesses, including publicly traded ones, to also cite “religious or moral objections” in denying their employees contraception

Another View Martha Burk coverage.

Wait a minute.

Corporations not only have religious freedom but now moral principles, too? I didn’t even know they went to church, and I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen one get down on its knees and pray.

On the other hand, I know women — who are actual people — have religious freedom under the Constitution, too.

What about their right not to be forced to bow to their employers’ religious beliefs or highly suspect “moral” principles?

Massachusetts, California, and the ACLU have filed lawsuits to stop the rollback. Good luck. Besides Hobby Lobby, the conservative majority in the Supreme Court ruled years ago in the Citizens United case that corporations have constitutional rights, and they’ve consistently ruled in favor of their corporate buddies over women in employ-

ment discrimination cases.

On top of that, six of the nine justices are male, and most of them of rather conservative religious persuasions. The odds look to be stacked against women.

Expanding so-called corporate citizen rights deeper into health care could ultimately affect everybody, not just women.

Christian Scientists are opposed to all kinds of medical treatment, including for diabetes, cancer, and meningitis. Jehovah’s Witnesses don’t believe in blood transfusions. There are undoubtedly other religious taboos on medical procedures.

Enterprising businesses that want to save money could cite “religious freedom” to exclude virtually any medical treatment from their insurance plans. Surgery, antibiotics, immunizations — you name it.

Where will it end? We don’t know. Even if the lawsuits are ultimately successful, a decision could take years.

All I know is that I don’t want my neighborhood corporate citizen making my health care decisions.

Clerk gets lesson in privacy from owner of a service dog DEAR ABBY: Yesterday I was in a retail store with my service dog. The clerk asked me what kind of service dog she was and I replied, “She’s my service dog.” She kept pressing me as to exactly why I have one, so I asked her if she was inquiring about my disability. When she said, “Yes,” I politely informed her that federal HIPAA laws protect my right to privacy. She then said — loud enough for everyone in the store to hear — “I don’t know what the big deal is. I just want to know what the dog does for you.”

Please let your readers know how to be around a person and their service animal: 1. You do NOT have the right to ask about the person’s disability. To do so is rude. Most people prefer strangers not know their medical condition.

The dog may be for PTSD, a hearing or seeing dog, or to alert the person to a medical emergency.

2. Children (and adults) need to understand that when service animals’ jackets go on, the dogs know it’s time to go to “work,” and they take their job seriously. At that point, they are not pets and should not be treated as such.

If a child rushes a service dog, the animal may react badly because it is there to protect its person.

3. You may ask to pet the dog, but don’t assume it will be allowed. If given permission, the dog should be scratched under the chin ONLY. Service animals know their place.

It’s a shame that most people are not as polite. — NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS DEAR N.O.Y.B.: Thank you for sharing this information. According to the Americans With Disabilities Act website (ada.gov): “Businesses may ask if an animal is a service animal or ask what tasks the animal has been trained to perform, but cannot require special ID cards for the animal or ask about the person’s disability.”

DEAR ABBY: I have been friends with a woman for the last 30 years. Our

children are the same age. My daughter, who is in her late 20s, has a number of tattoos on her arm that she can cover with clothing if she chooses. However, she doesn’t cover them often because she likes them and they mean something to her.

Recently, I showed my friend a picture of my daughter that showed one of the tattoos on her upper arm. My friend said, “Oh, I am so sorry about the tattoo,” and proceeded to cover the tattoo with her hand, implying that my daughter would be attractive if it weren’t for the body art. I was shocked.

I have always been supportive of my friend’s children and have never criticized any of them, even though I haven’t agreed with everything they have done. I was so hurt by her comment that I was speechless. I’m not sure I can continue the relationship feeling this way. But I’m hesitant to lose a 30-year friendship over something I might be overblowing. Am I being too sensitive? How do I resolve this? — COMPLETELY THROWN BY THIS DEAR THROWN: For a friendship of 30 years to end over one thoughtless comment would be sad for both of you. Sometimes people say things without thinking, and this is an example. Resolve your feelings by talking to her in person and telling her how deeply hurt you were by what she said. It will give her the chance to apologize and make amends.

chase was on his bucket list

DES MOINES — The Iowa State Patrol says a man pulled over in Des Moines after a car pursuit told state troopers that he wanted to be chased because it was on his bucket list. The man refused to halt a little before 7:30 a.m. Thursday when a trooper tried to stop him over a violation on Interstate 80. The 10- to 15-minute chase ended soon after he left the interstate. He was taken into custody. That’s when the 46-year-old Des Moines resident shared his bucket list story with troopers.

BURLINGTON — A prosecutor says no charges will be filed against a policeman who shot and killed a fleeing 27-year-old Burlington resident.

Assistant Iowa Attorney General Scott Brown concluded Thursday the Oct. 1 shooting of Marquis Jones by Burlington officer Chris Chiprez was a justifiable homicide. Brown says Chiprez fired seven shots at Jones after he refused officers’ orders to drop a gun. Chiprez fired an eighth shot after Jones fled into a backyard.

2 Two arrested after gunshots

DES MOINES — The former manager of a state program that regulates Iowa livestock farms and the manure they produce alleges money dedicated by law to the program has been illegally diverted for other uses by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Gene Tinker, who was laid off last month after 14 years as the DNR coordinator of animal feeding operations, says there should be plenty of money to pay him since the state gets $1.6 million a year from fees paid by the farms the program oversees.

UNDERWOOD — Authorities say two men have been arrested after a western Iowa chase in which gunshots were fired at a sheriff’s deputy. The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office said around 3:45 a.m. Thursday one of its deputies tried to stop a car matching the description of a stolen car. The car sped off west on Interstate 80. The car eventually went into a ditch on a rural road and the two men fled on foot, but the driver was soon caught.

Grassley touts support for local biofuel industry Newton schools to add educational associates In order to address the needs of special education students at the school district, the Newton Community School District Board of Education gave its approval to hire additional educational associates at Monday’s meeting.

Questions still remain as to how the district will be able to address the funding shortages in special education, Board President Travis Padget suggests that the board may need to consider an increase in the tax levy in next year’s budget.

Following the Sept. 25 board meeting, Superintendent Bob Callaghan reached out to principals to query them about the need for additional educational associates. Initially, administrators identified a need for five additional educational associates, two at Berg Middle School, and one each at Thomas Jefferson, Emerson Hough and Aurora Heights Middle Schools. On Monday, Callaghan informed the board that number has risen to six, with an additional associate needed at Woodrow Wilson Elementary as well. The average salary for a paraprofes-

sional is $13.51 an hour, all of the positions would be parttime, with a schedule of 27.5 hours per week. The proposal would cost the district approximately $90,000 and would increase the budget shortfall in special education to a projected $404,000.

Mariposa project aims to improve water quality The Jasper County Conservation has been working to improve the water quality and recreational potential at Mariposa Park. In order to accomplish this, the lake was drained last month, prompting the JCC to host a fish fry to update residents about the project.

Hundreds of displaced fish were harvested for the event and cleaned by volunteers.

Jasper County Conservation Director Kerri Van Zante along with project engineers from Shive Hattery explained the restoration progress. The project will add a boat dock and a fishing jetty.

Other upcoming projects include re-establishing the shoreline, creating a wetland, stabilization of the dam, refilling the lake and putting in new fish.

U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley visited Newton Tuesday to show his support for biodiesel production in Iowa. An EPA proposal to roll back minimum volumes for biomass based diesel had producers in Iowa concerned. During his speech, Grassley pledged his support, promising to hold President Donald Trump to his promise to support renewable energy in Iowa.

Grassley spoke of the value he’s seen in the Iowa’s biodiesel industry, and he plans to keep fighting for it on the Senate floor. Under the proposed plan, lowering the minimum volume standard for 2018 and rolling back the numbers in 2019 will damage Iowa’s economy.

Biofuels are big business in Iowa, and REG’s impact on Newton has been significant. Seventy million gallons of biodiesel produced in Iowa plants is delivered to 284 locations nationwide.

Movie magic comes to Newton Actors and crew members gathered at Razor’s Edge barbershop, 101 W. Second St. S. in Newton, to film a “S3rial” a short film Michael Berg wrote, directed and produced.

The film, which Berg bills as an Alfred Hitchcock style

thriller, tells the story of a dramatic confrontation between two characters, a barber who’s a serial killer, and a beat cop who’s determined to bring him down. When Berg was scouting for locations earlier this summer he stumbled across the Razor’s Edge barbershop, and he quickly realized the location would be perfect for the climactic scene in the film where the cop and his quarry cross paths for the first time.

Monroe to add new ambulance Monroe EMS recently received its new $181,000 Ford ambulance after a 2.5-year search and purchase process, and fire chief Robbie Wilson said it will be ready for service within 30 days. EMS volunteers said the focus for the new emergency transport is patient comfort. This is the town’s first ambulance with four-wheel drive and advanced suspension technology.

Prairie City makes building permits change Prairie City leaders have taken major step in reshaping the town’s building permit process.

Under a new ordinance approved Oct. 4 by the town’s city council, work done on

residential and commercial buildings within city limits will no longer require a building permit for remodeling, repair or maintenance that will not change the structural footprint of the building.

In the meeting, the council elected to waive the second and third readings, allowing the ordinance to go into effect upon publication.

After giving the city attorney John Judisch permission to draft a change in building code at last month’s meeting, the city council moved quickly and passed an ordinance in a 4-1 vote that will loosen building permit requirements.

Baxter still without permanent police protection Following a special meeting with Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty earlier this month, the City of Baxter remains in need of police coverage. A temporary arraignment with the sheriff ’s office is set to end Oct. 31.

The council is considering proposing similar contracts with the Colfax and Prairie City Police Departments or the Marshall County Sheriff ’s Office.

Despite receiving a few additional applications for the open police officer position, the council is in limbo as they scramble to establish a new temporary contract with law enforcement in the surrounding area.

Four things to know from the Jasper County Board of Health

By Kayla Singletary Newton Daily News 1. The Jasper County Board of Health approved the final contract with Grinnell Regional Medical Center to hire an emergency preparedness grant coordinator position.

The position was created for the six county emergency preparedness coalition, which is now called 1B. The initial grant cycle is five years with the county receiving $116,000 to fund the position.

2. Brenda Steenhoek, RN Home Care Manager informed the Jasper County Board of Health there are 109

clients this month. Steenhoek also advised the board of infestation issues at homes.

“We have been having problems with Voshell infestations of bed bugs and c o c k ro a c h e s across the county,” Steenhoek said. “Our policy is that we suspend services until those have been treated and cleared by a professional pest control agency.”

Jasper County Board of Health Chair Margot Voshell said she will check with the supervisors to see where they are at in the process and what they intend to do next.

“I do appreciate the fact they did move forward with that space analysis,” Voshell said. “I think it was a good idea to get an idea of who is in the building and the needs.”

4. The health department will be handing out items during Red Ribbon Week at Newton High School and during Newton’s downtown trick or treat night Oct. 31.

“The other big thing I’ve been working on is our flu shots and we have done 95 for county employees,” Kristina Winfield said. “I’m encouraging everyone to get their flu shot.”

School immunization audits are set to be completed in mid-November.

Path from PC to Monroe officially named Red Rock Prairie Trail

File Photo The Monroe segment of the Red Rock Prairie Trail was overlaid with gravel last year and sits waiting for a final asphalt or cement paving. The trail received its official name in September, and project planners update local city councils this week on the trail’s construction timeline.

Paving, construction slated to begin late 2018

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News The recreational trail slated to connect Monroe and the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge in Prairie City officially has a name — the Red Rock Prairie Trail.

Prairie City and Monroe Hometown Pride Committees came to an agreement on the trail name during their September meetings and sent it to the Jasper County Conservation Board for final consideration.

The board approved Monroe and Prairie City Hometown Pride’s recommendation at its Sept. 14 meeting.

“Our board really liked the name and thought it was fitting,” said Keri Van Zante, county conservation director. “It shows those kind of connections the trail would make from Red Rock to Neal Smith. (The trail) is going to go on, but it’s a good connector name.”

The goal for both Hometown Pride committees was to agree on a name which would signify both Monroe and Prairie City.

Tony Laudehoff is chairperson of Prairie City Hometown Pride.

He said the trick laid in the trail route’s lack of a defining feature, such as the bridge on the High Trestle Trail near Boone.

Since Iowa already has a Neal Smith trail, Laudehoff said the groups decided to combine what the area is known for — prairie — and the trail’s eventual destination — Lake Red Rock.

“Red Rock Prairie Trail is a combination of where each group is headed,” he said. “It’s a good fit since the trail is going from the wildlife refuge to Red Rock.”

ATTENTION VIETNAM VETERANS

Of Jasper County If you have a DD214 that states you were in Vietnam between 1964 and 1975 I have a FREE 50th Commemorative book for you.

The official name is the latest step in a process which began in 2014, when local leaders in both communities decided to pursue a roughly 11-mile rail bed being decommissioned by Iowa Interstate Railroad.

The project is developing an 8.3-mile link from Monroe to Prairie City, which will soon lead to Mitchellville, and an eventual goal to connect Lake Red Rock near Pella to the Gay Lea Wilson Trail in Altoona and the Des Moines metro and central Iowa trail systems. The abandoned rail corridor extends from Monroe to Highway F62 W southeast of Prairie City to Highway S27 near Mitchellville.

At Monday’s Monroe City Council meeting, Jasper County Hometown Pride Community Coach Jeff Davidson said Jasper County Conservation and Hometown Pride were unable to attain the remaining 3 miles of rail bed to complete the trail extension beyond Mitchellville linking with Altoona. This segment is still being used for rail car parking by Iowa Interstate.

Davidson is still hopeful within a few years the rest of the rail line will be taken out of service so phase II of the project can be completed.

“Otherwise, we’ll have to figure out another route. It will be a tentative route until we get done with the separated trail to Mitchellville,” Davidson said.

The Hometown Pride Committees and Jasper County Conservation have both worked closely with the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation to secure a nearly $1 million IDOT grant to purchase the rail bed land. According to Davidson, about $300,000 in remaining

grant funds will combine with a $510,000 Federal Lands Access Program grant to construct and pave the recreational trail.

Van Zante is working to secure a contract with a project designer. Once the architect is on board, Davidson said the trail will take 4 to 6 months to design. Construction bids could go out by spring or summer of next year. An approximately 90day construction process could put the trail in use by fall 2018.

Davidson told Monroe’s mayor and council Monday Hometown Pride and county conservation would seek estimates for both asphalt and concrete surfaces. City councils in both Prairie City and Monroe will be asked to consider making a taxpayer dollars available for facilities at the trail heads in both towns.

The ultimate goal, leaders say, is to add a quality of life element to both cities and bring outside spending and economic development to the area. According to Davidson, the Raccoon River Valley Trail generates between $70,000 and $100,000 in economic activity annually for the small towns along the route. In the larger communities, like Perry, it’s even greater.

“This goes back to that higher than average income (of trail users). People come, they ride the High Trestle, they ride the Raccoon River Valley Trail, they ride other trails in central Iowa, they make a weekend or week of it and spend money in the communities. That’s the kind of opportunity we have here in Monroe.”

Presenter is Barbara Jones.

Anyone interested in joining the Grinnell Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution may attend a meeting. For more information about the society and membership call Darlene Lieb at 641-521-8846.

Previous meeting’s summary The September meeting of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution Grinnell Chapter was called to order by Regent Kris Macy at 9:30 a.m. on Sept. 9 at the Centre for Arts & Artists with 18 members present. Following the opening ritual, Marsha Wilson led the Pledge of Allegiance and the American Creed was led by Jeanette Shannon. Devotions were given by Chaplain Mary Rethmeier. Liz Wagner read the President General’s message, Regent Kris gave the National Defense report.

Minutes of the July meeting were approved as corrected. The treasurer’s report was read and was filed for audit. Registrar Darlene reported that there are 56 members.

There is one supplemental paper pending and one prospective member.

Dee Myers reported on the Sunshine committee.

She sent six birthday cards in June; three in July; and six in August. She also sent one sympathy card and one get well card.

Jane Cruchelow gave a Conservation report. She has released 384 butterflies and tagged 160. She had an interview with the Iowa Outdoor Magazine which should be published this fall. She also reported random releases with children and other special groups to spread the word about Monarch conservation.

Old Business: Linda Kleppinger reported on the wall project to let us know it is complete except for the plaque which should be in place soon. She will let us know when the dedication is to take place.

Cruchelow reported she has 38 names for the name tag project and will be sending the order in this week. The tags will be

distributed to the members during the fall tour the first week in October.

New Business: If the club wants to receive a certificate from the President General when she visits in April, it needs to pay the assessment this year. It was moved and seconded that the club pay this year to meet that goal.

Macy reported on the board of management regarding the need for new drapes in the Iowa Room.

The expense will be covered by a gift from the estate of Ruby Crooks and Ruth Curtis.

Fall tour was discussed. Nancy Bender, Barb Jones, and Jeanette Shannon will be attending with the possibility of a couple more people.

The statue in Grinnell has been put in place in the city building and the rock which was located in the downtown park will be placed very close to the original site. When it is in place the club will rededicate both it and the statue in the spring.

The Quilt project for veterans needs to be completed by December 1 for credit this year. They are usually sent to Memphis for distribution to female veterans.

Cruchelow reported there will be Monarch tagging at Neal Smith soon. Darlene Lieb made a motion that the chapter donate $50 to purchase tags for Monarchs to help Cruchelow with her project costs. Moved and seconded. Motion passed.

Gail Bonath and Barb Lease presented a proposal to give some of our old records to the Drake Library in Grinnell for safe keeping. After much discussion the motion was made to transfer the records of the Grinnell Chapter except for the currently past 10 years to the Drake Community Library Archives, Grinnell, Iowa. Every 10 years the next group of records to be transferred. The motion was tabled until more research has been done. It was noted in the discussion that several Grinnell organizations have given their past records to the library archives as they are considered history collection site of the community. This is a safer prospect for the records than passing them from household to household as is presently being done.

Sending them to Iowa City to the State Library is not as good a prospect as it has been because they are running out of storage capacity and are not open to the public very often.

Tigerhawks, Hawks play in SICL Silver Quad Lynnville-Sully claims fifth place in SICL; Colfax-Mingo loses five-set thriller in Silver Quad

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — South Iowa Cedar League’s middle-of-thepack teams — four of the 12 conference teams — staged a marathon of volleyball action Thursday. Lynnville-Sully hosted the SICL Silver Quad of the conference tournament with the team with two wins claiming fifth in the conference.

Colfax-Mingo, Sigourney and North Mahaska joined the hosting Hawks. Three matches were on the card for the night with the first match starting at 5 p.m.

Lynnville-Sully put the final touches on winning the fifthplace match against Sigourney as the clock neared 10:30 p.m.

The Hawks pulled out a fourset victory — 25-15, 25-21, 2325, 25-23 — over the Savages.

Sigourney had just rallied to defeat Colfax-Mingo’s Tigerhawks in a five-set thriller 19-25, 21-25, 27-25, 25-16, 20-18. Lynnville-Sully had gone four sets in the opener against North Mahaska, winning 25-8, 25-7, 18-25, 25-20.

nother Friday the 13th has rolled in on us. What will this one bring?

When the last one came around earlier this year, I talked to athletes and coaches. None put any stock in the Friday the 13th superstitions. This one is a bit cooler, if you like scary movies, because it’s in October — have you ever noticed Halloween is Oct. 31 — Oct. 13 — 13 to 31— get it?

Back to superstitions, I’m a sports fan and yes, I’m superstitious. I tend to wear the same shirt (washed of course) for each Kansas State game when they win and change it up if they lose.

I’ve done the same for high school teams I’ve covered over the years. I’m that way about the Kansas City Chiefs and the Kansas City Royals. The Royals were fun to watch in 2017 — frus-

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets trating — but fun. They didn’t reach the playoffs again. I’m doing alright with that. I am worried about what will happen with free agents. We’ll see.

Speaking of the Major League Baseball playoffs, on Wednesday night I had one friend delighted and one friend not so. You guessed, one is a New York Yankees fan and the other loves those Cleveland Indians. The Yankees thwarted the Indians’ bid to return to the World Series.

I guess my cheering will go for the Houston Astros now from the American League. Sorry, Pam, but I just can’t root, root for the Yankees.

The Chicago Cubs had a big game on Thursday — a must win against the Washington Nationals in Game 5 at Washington if they wanted to defend their World Series championship.

They rallied to beat the Nationals.

Go Cubs!

Back to football … anyone check

out the Newton Daily News’ Pro Pigskin Challenge contest? Being the sports editor, I was put in the VIP section to make my picks of each week’s NFL games.

I love football at every level.

I grew up cheering on my hometown junior high and high school teams in Linwood, Kan. They aren’t there anymore — consolation. I’ve been a Kansas State football fan since forever, even when the Wildcats didn’t win many games.

Of course, my NFL team is the Kansas City Chiefs. I remember the Chiefs losing Super Bowl I to Green Bay and winning Super Bowl IV against the Minnesota Vikings. I never ever give up on my Chiefs or the K-State Wildcats.

How about my Chiefs? They are the only unbeaten team in the NFL. I’m not expecting them to stay perfect for the season. They will lose. A couple years ago they started 1-5 and I did something I never do — in my selections for that week I picked them to lose. They won.

It took me back to the only time I picked against the Iola High School Mustangs in Kansas. Several members

of the Iola newspaper staff and I used to predict the scores for the seven area high school football teams each week.

The Mustangs were good that year, but they lost a game they shouldn’t have simply because they took winning for granted. I picked them to lose the next week, and told the players and all the readers why.

Iola’s players showed me. It was the only time I picked against the Mustangs, and there were some very lean times in the 28 years I covered them.

I won’t pick against Newton, Lynnville-Sully, Colfax-Mingo, Baxter or Prairie City-Monroe either. I always expect our teams to win.

That’s how I make my selections each week for the Newton Pro Pigskin Challenge — mainly with my heart not my head. I don’t delve into statistics. I might realize a key player is hurt for a team. There are several teams I will never select to win — Denver or Oakland — hey, I’m a Chiefs fan.

I just pick ‘em as I see or feel them.

Baxter girls win first Iowa Star Conference title

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Banning/Webster City Daily Freeman-Journal Baxter junior Brenna Thomson, right, finished third in the Iowa Star Conference meet on Thursday at Wartburg College in Waverly. Thomson’s finish led the Bolts to a team championship in their first season.

New coach Medved hoping to reverse old losing ways at Drake DES MOINES (AP) — Niko Medved knew all about the recent sad history of Drake basketball — the losing, the struggle to stay competitive in the Missouri Valley Conference, the general apathy surrounding the program.

Medved But he took the head coaching job anyway and now, a week into his first preseason practices with the Bulldogs, he is headlong into the process of trying to change that culture.

It won’t be easy.

Medved engineered a turnaround at Furman, taking over a team that had won seven games and producing a 23-victory season four years later.

That earned him a chance to do the same thing at Drake, which has seen only two winning seasons and has gone through three coaches since a magical run to the MVC championship and NCAA tournament under Keno Davis in 2008.

“I think the biggest challenge is just apathy,” Medved said Wednesday at the team’s media day. “Let’s call it what

it is: Drake has not had a lot of success in men’s basketball throughout the years. And I don’t shy away from that. I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t believe a thousand percent that not only can we, but we will.

We’re going to have a great program. We have everything here to have a great program.”

The Bulldogs have gone 23-70 over the last three years and the average attendance last season sank to 2,843 in a 7,000-seat arena as the team went 7-24. Coach Ray Giacoletti resigned after a 1-7 start and assistant Jeff Rutter ran the team the rest of the season.

Winning is the obvious cure for what ails a program, and Medved’s job is convince his players they’re good enough to win, despite what they might hear from the outside.

“They start to believe that they’re not supposed to be good. That’s garbage,” he said.

“We have to fight that constantly here. When your guys start to believe they’re good and you change the way you think, not just as a team, but as a university, your donors, your fans, it’s a process, but we’ll get there.”

Medved has a veteran group to attack that challenge. Four starters return on a team that has five seniors and two red-

shirt juniors.

Senior guard Reed Timmer comes back as the leading scorer (15.3) and six others averaged at least 14 minutes a game. Guards De’Antae McMurray (9.1) and Graham Woodward (7.2) and 6-foot-8 Nick McGlynn (4.9) also return from the starting lineup.

“I think us as a team, we’ve really kind of enjoyed the difference that he’s brought,” Woodward said. “It’s kind of an up-tempo, exciting personality from him. He’s intense as well as very easy to get along with. He’s someone who wants to have a relationship with his players. I think we’ve really enjoyed that from a player’s standpoint.”

The Bulldogs had some decent outings offensively last season but shot only 41 percent as a team and gave up way too much at the other end — 80 points a game in conference play.

They showed some spark early in the league season, winning three of their first five, only to finish the year with 10 straight losses.

“It doesn’t matter what happened in the past,” Medved said. “It’s just about letting that go and just trying to figure out a way, how can we become our best as a unit.”

WAVERLY — The Baxter girls’ cross country team welcomed back its No. 2 runner on Thursday, and junior Lauren Ratliff gave the Bolts the boost they needed to win their first Iowa Star Conference championship.

Junior Brenna Thomson finished third and Ratliff was sixth as the Bolts claimed the girls’ team title after placing all five scoring runners in the first 15 positions.

Official results were not available at press time. Unofficially, Baxter won the girls’ race with 34 points.

GMG was second with 47 points and Collins-Maxwell grabbed third with 54 points.

“I am extremely proud of both teams for how they prepared for the race and how they competed,” Baxter coach Dennis Vaughn said.

“We had so many great efforts. We asked the runners to leave everything on the course, and they did just that.”

Thomson and Ratliff

both earned all-conference honors as the top 10 runners in each race were named to the all-Iowa Star team. In the boys’ race, junior Ian Thomson finished second and sophomore Logan Berg was third.

The Baxter boys placed third as a team, trailing team champion Dunkerton and losing to Collins-Maxwell by two points.

Brenna Thomson finished third in the girls’ 5K with an unofficial time of 20 minutes, 39 seconds.

Ratliff was sixth in 21:58.

Baxter splits two against CAL, AGWSR

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News LATIMER — The Baxter volleyball team split two matches inside a gymnasium that was holding its final matches.

The Bolts defeated CAL in three sets in the school’s final season during Iowa Star Conference South Division play on Thursday.

Baxter ended its night with a two-set loss to AGWSR. CAL will close its middle school and high school after this season.

The 25-12, 25-15, 25-19 victory over the Cadets improves Baxter’s conference record to 6-1. The Bolts dropped below .500 after AGWSR claimed a 27-25, 25-21 non-conference win.

Senior Mary Schabilion was 18-of-19 in serves with five aces. Ewing finished

Results from the AGWSR match were not available at press time.

Cubs come back on Scherzer, top Nationals in NLDS Game 5 WASHINGTON (AP) — The Chicago Cubs win whenever they need to, with whatever it takes, even a seven-out save by Wade Davis to preserve a shrinking lead and a “Did that really happen?” four-run inning against Washington’s Max Scherzer in a thriller of a Game 5.

That wild, bat-around fifth inning Thursday night for Chicago included Addison Russell’s go-ahead, tworun double, a bases-loaded hit by pitch, and a disputed dropped third strike followed by a throwing error, helping the defending World Series champion Cubs come back — and then hold on — to edge the Nationals 9-8.

And for the third year in a row, Chicago reached the NL Championship Series.

“Give the boys credit,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “That’s one of the most incredible victories I’ve ever been part of. I know a lot of

people are probably saying the same thing, but under the circumstances, in the other team’s ballpark, after a tough loss at home, to come back and do that, give our guys all the credit in the world.”

Russell drove in four runs and Davis, Chicago’s seventh pitcher, turned in his longest appearance since 2012. The Cubs trailed 4-1, then led 8-4 and 9-6, in a game that lasted more than 4½ hours and ended after midnight on Friday.

“It was bizarro world, there’s no question about it,” Maddon said. “But it happens.

It happens this time of the year.”

Catcher Willson Contreras picked off Jose Lobaton at first base to quash a Washington threat in the eighth and Davis fanned a swinging Bryce Harper for the final out.

“It was a series of bad events,” Nationals manager Dusty Baker said.

Chicago, which surpassed its total of eight runs in the first four games of the NL Division Series, advanced to face the Los Angeles Dodgers, who will start ace Clayton Kershaw at home in Game 1 of the NLCS on Saturday night.

For Maddon and the Cubs, this was their fourth consecutive victory in a win-or-be-eliminated postseason game. That includes three straight to end the 2016 World Series, when Chicago trailed the Cleveland Indians 3-1 before forcing a Game 7 won by the Cubs in 10 innings.

The Nationals, meanwhile, went one-and-done yet again: This is the fourth time in the past six years that the club won the NL East and immediately lost its opening playoff series. And this is the third time in that span that Washington bowed out with a Game 5 NLDS loss at home; that also happened in 2012 against the St. Louis Cardinals and last year against the Dodgers.

This one was played exactly five years to the day after the decider against the Cardinals, which the Nationals lost 9-7 in Washington. Just like that night, the Nationals started Gio Gonzalez. Just like that night, Washington raced out to an early lead (6-0 back then). And just like that night, Gonzalez had control problems and started giving back some of the edge.

“It really hurts, you know, to lose like that, especially after what we went through all year long, and that was tough,”

Baker said.

Homers by Daniel Murphy and Michael A. Taylor — whose grand slam off Davis backed Stephen Strasburg’s 12-strikeout masterpiece in Washington’s 5-0 victory in Game 4 at Wrigley Field on Wednesday — gave the hosts a 4-1 lead in the second against Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks.

But Gonzalez gave back two of those runs, so it was 4-3 as two-time Cy Young Award winner Scherzer entered for the fifth. He started Game 3 of this series, pushed back because of an injured right hamstring, and hadn’t come out of the bullpen since 2013 with the Detroit Tigers.

By the time Scherzer’s one inning was over, the Cubs had taken a 7-4 lead. They scored two earned runs and two unearned runs, on the strength of three hits, one hit by pitch, one intentional walk, a catcher’s interference, and one very odd play.

SICL Continued from Page 1B “We didn’t want to play a fifth set. This means a lot because we weren’t going to stay here to this time of night and walk out of our gym with a loss,” Lynnville-Sully senior McKinley Conover said. “Kudos to Sigourney because the played a lot of sets tonight and battled hard. Even though they were tired and we were tired, both teams put up a really good fight.”

Lynnville-Sully got the two victories and claimed fifth place. Colfax-Mingo and Sigourney went back-andforth throughout their match.

Colfax-Mingo worked their top hitter senior Ries Wilson in the match. They set to her front row, back row, right, left and in the middle all match long. Wilson delivered by tying her career-high for kills in a match by pounding down 37 kills. She even had three kills — from the back row — when she was serving the ball for the Tigerhawks.

The Hawks (16-12) and Tigerhawks (10-14) put the regular season behind them. The two Jasper County volleyball squads focus on postseason play which begins next week.

On Tuesday, Colfax-Mingo plays at 7 p.m. against Pella Christian in Pella for Class 2A Region 5 action. Also on Tuesday, Lynnville-Sully hosts Collins-Maxwell at 7 p.m. for a Class 1A Region 4 match at Sully.

“Knowing you have the possibility of playing two best-3-out-of-5 matches on one night, which we did on Tuesday but that was a faster night of play, was tough,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Jayme Deal said. “Tonight it was point-for-point in every match played.

“When you have teams like these four which match up well against each other, you are going to get matches like we had tonight. It was just a long night and it feels good to be the team with the two wins.”

Lynnville-Sully took control of the first set of the fifthplace match with Sigourney.

The Hawks had 16-10 lead and Skyler Young delivered six service points. Kills by Conover and Shiloh Cunningham came at either end of Young’s serving run.

Camryn Russell served up four consecutive points for Lynnville-Sully in the second set to expand her team’s lead.

Then with it 22-21, Conover had three points including a kill shot to the far corner of

the court by Russell for the win, 25-21.

In the next two sets, the Hawks worked from behind against the Savages. They trailed 17-10 in the third set and came back to tie it at 2323. Sigourney tallied the final two points for a 25-23 win.

Lynnville-Sully fell behind 15-11 in the fourth set. The Hawks worked their way back for an 18-all tie. It was tied at 22 and 23 before Conover served the final two points to capture the match victory.

“I thought our Senior Night was the final time we’d play at home. So, to play at home tonight with my family and our fans was pretty special,” Conover said. “We do have one more home match in regional next week.”

Mallory Loftus led Lynnville-Sullys’s net attack against Sigourney with 10 kills and three solo blocks. Conover

put down eight kills and Russell had five kills. Cunningham had four kills and one block asset. Carson Fisk and Korinne Jansen each put down three kills.

Young was credited with 30 set assists. Defensively, Conover had 24 its followed

by Fisk and Young with 22 digs apiece Janelle Rozendaal made 17 digs, Cunningham had 14 digs, Russell had 12 digs and Makayla Rozendaal had 11 digs.

Young served up 15 points, going 26-of-27 at the service line with two aces. Russell had 11 points and was 22-of22 with four ace serves. Fisk went 19-of-20 serving with three aces in her eight points served.

Makayla Rozendaal served up eight points and Cunningham had six service points.

Conover had three points including an ace serve.

“Everybody wanted it tonight, but our girls made up their minds they were going to get the two wins,” Deal said.

“Sitting out for the five-set match was rough on our girls as they got relaxed and tired.

Sigourney had a tough match with Colfax-Mingo so both teams were tired. Our girls just decided they were going to take it now.”

Colfax-Mingo seemed on its way to a victory in the second match of the night.

Sigourney just wouldn’t fold.

The two teams had back-andforth play with sideout after sideout in each of the five sets.

The Tigerhawks got four straight service points from Wilson to secure the first set win, 25-19. They trailed the Savages 14-12 when Colbee Cunningham, who had run in the SICL cross country meet before play the match, served seven straight points. Colfax-Mingo got kills by Braedynn Rawlins and Wilson to get the win.

Up 2-0 in sets, the Tigerhawks wrangled an 8-5 lead in the third set. The Savages held off elimination as they finally had a 24-20 advantage. Not so fast, the Tigerhawks had a four-point serving run by Chelsey Temple.

Sigourney notched the set win, 27-25, but it took four more rotations to do it. The

Savages used the momentum for a 3-0 lead in the fourth set.

It was a point-for-point set as the teams were tied most of the way.

Sigourney took 19-15 lead and finished the set to force a deciding fifth set, which was only suppose to go to 15 points. Teams have to win by two points, and so it went.

Chelsea Russell’s five-point serving stint gave the Tigerhawks a 10-5 lead. They couldn’t close it out as the Savages gained the lead then it was knotted at 15-all. It was still tied at 18-18 when Sigourney scored on a defensive play then served up the final point of the match.

Wilson had 37 of the Tigerhawks’ 50 kills in the match.

She had 24 digs, went 17of-20 serving with three ace serves, 11 service points and had two block assist. Megan Earles had 42 set assists and three kills.

She also went 13-of-13 serving, had four service points and had 14 digs.

Colbee Cunningham was 22-of-26 serving with four ace serves and had 17 service points. She had three kills and a solo block. Temple had six kills, 13 digs, went 13-of-13 serving, had one ace serve among her seven service points.

Mackensie Brown was credited with 36 digs in the match. She was 12-of-12 serving and had two service points. Chelsea Russell served up 10 points, went 22-of-22 serving with two ace serves and had 27 digs. Kira Warrick had three digs.

The Hawks played North Mahaska’s Warhawks (1214) in the first match of the night. They got out to a 9-3 lead in the first set. Makayla Rozendaal served five consecutive points bumping the Hawks’ lead to 20-6 on the way to a 25-8 win.

It was Makayla Rozendaal’s serving again in the second

set to put the Hawks out to a big lead. She had an 11-point run at the service line as Lynnville-Sully netted a 25-7 win.

North Mahaska battled back to claim a 25-18 win in the third set by stringing runs of three, four and three points together. The Warhawks and Hawks battled in a close fourth set until Conover served up five straight points to give the Hawks some breathing room. A kill by Loftus gave Lynnville-Sully the set and match point.

Makayla Rozendaal had 17 service points in the match as she went 25-of-25 at service line and had three ace serves.

She had 14 digs. Fisk had four ace serves among her 11 service points, going 20-of-21.

Conover was also 20-of-21 serving with two aces and 11 points.

Camryn Russell had one ace serve as she, Young and Shiloh Cunningham served six points apiece. Young and Cunningham were perfect at the service line.

At the net against the Warhawks, Loftus powered down 14 kills and had a solo block.

Conover, Fisk and Camryn Russell each had five kills and Jansen had three kills. Shiloh Cunningham had two kills, three solo blocks and a block assist.

Young had 30 set assists an 16 digs. Fisk had 19 digs while Camryn Russell and Makayla Rozendaal each had 14 digs.

Janelle Rozendaal had 13 digs.

“We have tough competition starting with our first match in the regional. We have to be ready for it, and ready to go five sets if we have to,” Deal said of her team. “Having a night like tonight, showed us what Tuesday night could be like for us if we want to move on in the playoffs.”

An eight-quarter court reporter training program began at DMACC Newton last fall with eight students, and there are already 28 signed up to begin the program this fall.

Newton Campus Advisor Tom Shively was helping man the booth Thursday, and spoke highly of others who

“We used to talk to high school teachers who teach shorthand, but that isn’t taught in schools anymore,” Shively said. “So now, we have to find other means to get kids’ attention.”

Third time’s a charm

C-M girls edge Lynnville-Sully by one point in SICL meet

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Abbey McConeghey’s first high school cross country season was rather forgettable.

Battling an unknown illness, the Tigerhawk sophomore never really got on solid ground last season. With the Celiac disease now under control and properly cared for, McConeghey has put last year’s disappointing season in her rear view mirror.

One year after finishing 20th at the South Iowa Cedar League Cross Country Invitational, McConeghey is now a conference champion.

McConeghey turned in a personal-best time in winning the individual championship, and that effort set the tone for the rest of team as the Tigerhawks claimed their first SICL team championship.

Colfax-Mingo got a big boost from the bottom half of its lineup and edged Lynnville-Sully by a single point.

The Tigerhawks scored 50 points and better a Hawk squad that put three runners in the top 10.

After two straight seasons in the runner-up position, the Colfax-Mingo girls are now on top of the SICL. “We had lost to (Lynnville-Sully) every single meet this year, so we told the girls that everything had to break right for us to win,” Colfax-Mingo co-head coach Jacob Crouse said. “With it being one point, if just one of our kids doesn’t do what they did, we don’t win. I couldn’t be prouder of all of them. This was huge for us. This was a chance for us to show some hometown pride. We host this thing for awhile now so it’s good to win it at home.”

Belle Plaine, the defending SICL girls’ champion, was third but was 35 points back of Lynnville-Sully. Montezuma (99), Sigourney (115) and English Valleys (117) completed the field.

“The girls’ team knew that on their home course Colfax would give us their best shot,” Lynnville-Sully coach Darin Arkema said. “We had strong performances from all our girls, several of them significantly faster tonight than on this course in September.

I give credit to the girls on Colfax-Mingo’s team and its coaches. They definitely had

Troy Hyde/Daily News Lynnville-Sully sophomore Abby Gruver earned second-team all-conference honors with a seventh-place finish in the South Iowa Cedar League Cross Country Invitational at Colfax Country Club.

Troy Hyde/Daily News The Colfax-Mingo girls cross country won its first-ever South Iowa Cedar League team championship Thursday at Colfax Country Club. The Tigerhawks edged Lynnville-Sully by a single point.

some people step up and perform their best of the season, and when it came down to it they were one point better than us.”

The top finisher on the boys’ side was Colfax-Mingo junior Cauy Fitch in 11th, and Lynnville-Sully senior Josh Dunsbergen in 12th.

The Tigerhawks were fifth in the team race, and the Hawks placed sixth.

McConeghey won the girls’ 5K race in 20 minutes, 42.2 seconds, which was 30 seconds faster than any other race in her prep career. She got out front early and kept the pedal to medal against North Mahaska rival Cheyenne Shaw, who was 37 seconds back in second.

“It feels good. I thought it was going to be closer, but I guess I pushed myself harder tonight,” McConeghey said.

“This year was much better than last year. What a difference a year makes.”

McConeghey was competing in her second race since returning from an injury. She left no doubt in her second SICL meet.

“We tried to get her to a mindset that none of the injury stuff can be an excuse,” Crouse said. “Her and Cheyenne have had some battles in cross country and track.

Looking at her run today, there was never any doubt.

She was focused, got out of the gates quick, didn’t let off the gas and closed the door early.”

Lynnville-Sully senior Mary Kate Shaver placed fourth to lead the Hawks.

Shaver (22:10.6) joined McConeghey on the all-conference first team, which goes to runners in the top five. Teammates Abby Gruver (23:20.3) and Megan Van Zante (23:20.8) were both second-team all-conference runners, finishing seventh and eighth, respectively.

Shaver battled a hip injury throughout most of the race.

She was still able to run in the top five.

“I tore my hip flexor last cross country season. It always hurts on hilly courses like this,” Shaver said. “I am really happy with fourth. It’s been a great season so far.”

Gruver, a sophomore, crossed the finish line in seventh for the second straight season.

Colfax-Mingo’s other two all-conference runners were both honorable mention selections, which are for the 11th- and 12th-place finish-

ers.

Tigerhawk freshman Crystal Lincoln (23:58.6) was 11th, and junior Ilia Hostetter (24:08.5) finished 12th.

The difference for Colfax-Mingo came in the fourth and fifth runners. While the Hawks placed three in the top 10, the Tigerhawks were better in the back end.

Senior Danielle Decker (24:34.7) was 14th, and junior Delaney Underwood (25:03.4) had her best time of the season as the Tigerhawks’ final scoring runner.

Decker and Underwood were a smidge faster than Lynnville-Sully’s final two counting runners. Senior Christine Nikkel ended up 19th, and junior Emily Van Gorp was 22nd. Colfax-Mingo junior Colbee Cunningham finished 21st as the Tigerhawks’ sixth runner.

“Everyone has a role to play,” Crouse said. “Delaney ran her best time of the year, and that was huge for her. She hasn’t lived up to her expectations this year, but she was big tonight. We just rose to the occasion across the board.”

Arkema added, “It stings right now, knowing the opportunity was here, but in a week we get an opportunity to go up against them again, along with a lot of other good competition, so we’ll get focused on being ready for that race.”

The Belle Plaine boys placed three runners in the top six positions and won the team title by six points over Sigourney. Belle Plaine scored 46 to Sigourney’s 52. Montezuma was next with 73 followed by North Mahaska in fourth with 108.

“The conference was tough.

A lot of teams showed up today in the boys’ race,” Crouse

mention all-conference spots.

Fitch, who was 18th a year ago, finished 11th in 19:21.9.

Dunsbergen was 29th last year but moved up 17 spots with a time of 19:22.9.

“The guys ran super tough led by our senior Josh who put himself in position early in the race to contend for an all-conference spot,” Arkema said.

Fitch had a goal of finishing in the top five, but he hasn’t practiced a lot in the last few weeks after joining the football team at the midpoint of the season.

“I think the lack of practice hurt me tonight,” Fitch said.

Dunsbergen knows he is improving. He came into the meet with the hopes of a top10 finish though.

“Today was definitely my best time for a hilly course,” Dunsbergen said. “It was an improvement. Given the course, this time has to be close to my best time. I’d like to see myself in the top 10. I was close.”

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo sophomore Abbey McConeghey won her first South Iowa Cedar League championship on Thursday with a personal-best time of 20 minutes, 42.2 seconds at Colfax Country Club.

said.

“The boys’ team has been a work in progress the last couple of years. We keep getting better every year. We were last always for a while. We are getting over that hurdle and there is some optimism around that program.”

Belle Plaine’s Joe Eichhorn won the boys’ 5K race in 18:21.5.
