Local investors purchase former Newton Manufacturing building

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The former Newton Manufacturing building is set to have new owners pending a Dec. 4 closing date on the sale of the building. Newton Elite Properties, LLC comprised of Julie Prendergast, Rick Roush and Josh and Becky Firkins will take over ownership of the 37,000 square foot building, 1123 First Ave. E., with plans to lease the space.

“We’re going to buy it and lease it out,” Prendergast said. “We’ll section it out so it isn’t

such a big space. We’ve got lots of ideas it just depends on what works out with those ideas.”

Prendergast said the group looked at buying the building about a year ago, but it didn’t work out. More recently, the group has been working to finalize an agreement to take ownership of the property which boasts more than 3.7 acres.

“It is a great building, it is solid. I hated to see anybody tear it down,” she said. “We are super excited to have this kind of an icon building and bring it back to life.”

The building was planned to go up for auction in September with a low minimum bid of $225,000 required, but no viable bids were received. Prendergrast declined to release the sale price prior to closing.

Newton Manufacturing, the company who was previously housed on the property, declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy in June 2015 and the company was then purchased by HALO Branded Solutions of Sterling, Ill.

NHS student named as National Hispanic Merit Scholar

NPD warns about latest IRS phone scam Newton Daily News

David Dolmage/Daily News David Lopez-Sanders addresses members of the Newton Community School District’s board as they recognize him for his achievement during a board meeting. After taking the PSAT this fall Lopez-Sanders was recognized as a National Hispanic Merit Scholar, an honor awarded to the top 2.5 percent of students who took the test.

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News When the letter first showed up in his mailbox it looked like just another piece of college junk mail. As a senior at Newton High School, David Lopez-Sanders has been buffeted by a daily stream of flyers, bro-

chures and literature from colleges around the country, but when he opened the envelope he was surprised to learn he’d been selected as a National Hispanic Merit Scholar, one of the top 2.5 percent of Hispanic students who took the PSAT test.

“I didn’t even know that this existed, I thought it was just

a piece of college spam,” Lopez-Sanders said.

As a high school senior getting ready for college Lopez-Sanders had already taken the ACT, a college preparatory exam that’s commonly used by many colleges and universities SCHOLAR | 3A

The Newton Police Department has received numerous reports of individuals receiving threatening calls from persons claiming to be representing the IRS. In this scam, the caller claims he or she represents the IRS. The caller demands immediate payment and tells recipients to use a credit card, debit card or pre-paid debit card, such as a Green Dot card.

Callers threaten recipients with court actions or even immediate arrest if they don’t pay immediately.

The caller likely “spoofs” the number that appears on caller-ID displays, meaning the display may mask the true number and falsely display an actual or claimed IRS number.

According to the IRS, it does not place calls demanding immediate payment and sends notices to taxpayers through the U.S. Mail. If you receive such a call, hang up. If you want to take an extra step to ensure you really don’t owe federal back taxes or penalties, call the

IRS directly to verify.

How to Report an IRS Scam • Victims who lost money through an IRS scam should report the loss to local law enforcement.

• Victims who were not scammed but who wish to report it can contact the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) through the FTC Complaint Assistant at ftccomplaintassistant.gov.

• Those who want to verify whether they owe federal taxes or penalties should contact the IRS directly. The IRS telephone assistance number is 1-800-829-1040.

• Those who were not scammed but who wish to report being contacted by an IRS impersonator can report it to the U.S. Treasury Inspector General for Taxpayer Administration (TIGTA): www. treasury.gov/tigta or, tollfree, at 1-800-366-4484.

Contact Iowa Attorney General Office by email at consumer@ag.iowa. gov or at 515-281-5926 or 888-777-4590 (outside of the Des Moines metro area).

Goldfinch Growth expanding housing opportunities in Newton

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News With a housing shortage well documented in Newton, the addition of high-quality rental units is more than welcome to the community. Goldfinch Growth real estate firm is doing just that at The Chamberlain apartment building with four new residences.

An open house was

held to view a remodeled unit at the building on Wednesday. To date, Goldfinch Growth, which is co-owned by Natalie Umsted and Bryan Friedman, has completed one unit at the complex. Umsted said the goal is to have all four ready for renters by early 2018.

“Our goal is to take some high quality rental housing and elevate it to premium rental housing

in Newton,” Umsted said.

“We have heard that is a need. We’re trying to fill that need.”

The building, located at 207 W. Third St. S., was built in 1966 by Curly and Lois Chamberlain as a place to spend their retirement. The apartments were designed to be large, high quality rentals when they were constructed in HOUSING | 3A

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News A dramatic transformation took place in the remodel of an apartment unit at The Chamberlain apartment building. Goldfinch Growth, headed by Natalie Umsted and Bryan Friedman are remodeling the units to be rented as high-quality, premium housing in downtown Newton.

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Saturday, Nov. 18, the 322nd day of 2017. There are 43 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 18, 1942, “The Skin of Our Teeth,” Thornton Wilder’s Pulitzer Prize-winning allegory about the history of humankind, opened on Broadway.

On this date: In 1928, Walt Disney’s first sound-synchronized animated cartoon, “Steamboat Willie” starring Mickey Mouse, premiered in New York.

In 1959, “Ben-Hur,” the Biblical-era spectacle starring Charlton Heston, had its world premiere in New York.

In 1966, U.S. Roman Catholic bishops issued a Pastoral Statement on Penance and Abstinence, which did away with the rule against eating meat on Fridays outside of Lent.

In 1987, the congressional Iran-Contra committees issued their final report, saying President Ronald Reagan bore “ultimate responsibility” for wrongdoing by his aides.

In 2000, actors Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones were married in an extravagant wedding at The Plaza hotel in New York City.

Ten years ago: Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf ’s government dismissed a last-ditch U.S. call to end emergency rule, a day after a visit by Deputy Secretary of State John Negroponte (neh-groh-PAHN’tee). A methane blast ripped through a coal mine in eastern Ukraine, killing 101 miners.

Five years ago: In the deadliest single attack in Israel’s offensive against Islamic militants, 12 people were killed when an Israeli missile ripped through a two-story home in a residential area of Gaza City.

Justin Bieber dominated the American Music Awards in Los Angeles, winning three trophies, including artist of the year.

One year ago: President-elect Donald Trump signaled a sharp policy shift to the right by picking Alabama Sen. Jeff Sessions as attorney general, Kansas Rep. Mike Pompeo to head the CIA and Michael Flynn as his national security adviser.

Brookline approved changing the Board of Selectmen to the Select Board at a Town Meeting vote Tuesday. The title “selectman” has been replaced with “select board member.”

The five-member panel includes two women.

The Boston Globe reports the measure also requires the use of gender-neutral language in town documents and communications.

Entertainment Famed London theater receives 20 allegations against Spacey LONDON (AP) — London’s Old Vic Theatre said Thursday it has received 20 allegations of inappropriate behavior by its former artistic director Kevin Spacey, and acknowledged that a “cult of personality” around the Hollywood star had made it difficult for peo-

ple to come forward.

The London theater launched an investigation into Spacey last month after claims of sexual harassment emerged in the United States. Spacey, 58, led the Old Vic between 2004 and 2015.

The Old Vic said it had received 20 allegations of

“a range of inappropriate behavior,” from actions that made people feel uncomfortable to “sexually inappropriate” touching.

All the alleged victims are young men, none under 18 years old. The reported incidents took place between 1995 and 2013, many of them at

the Old Vic, and all but four of the alleged victims are former staff of the theater.

In all but one case, the complainants say they didn’t report them at the time. One man says he reported an incident to his manager, who didn’t act on the information.

“That is a long time coming,” Newton Development Corporation Executive Director Frank Liebl said.

With Newton Elite Properties purchasing the building, a wish comes true for Liebl, who hoped to have a buyer see the value in the property and give it new life. With its prime location on First Avenue and ample parking with more than 200 spaces available, the property is already garnering interest, Prendergast said.

“I’ve had quite a few people take a look at it already,” Prendergast said. “I have one business that is going to expand to Newton from Johnston and are hoping to have all of the details taken care of to open the first of the year.”

in the Midwest, but when the high school also offered students a chance to take the PSAT, he decided it wouldn’t hurt to give it a whirl. More than 250,000 take the test every year, but less than 5,000 students across the country are selected as National Hispanic Merit Scholars.

“It was only like $15, I just thought I’d try for it, it was only four hours,” Lopez-Sanders said.

After cracking open the books the night before the test Lopez-Sanders said he felt confident when he walked into the room, that he’d be able to do well on the test as long as he kept his cool. He’d already taken the ACT and this was a no-pressure opportunity to attract some college scholarship attention.

“It really wasn’t too much of a risk,” Lopez-Sanders said.

Being recognized as a National Hispanic Merit Scholar has slowed the deluge of mail from interested colleges, if anything, it’s actually started to increase. The organiza-

it Scholar. After teaching Lopez-Sanders last year in American History, Cleveland said it didn’t take long to see that Lopez-Sanders brought a lot to the table in the classroom.

“He is just extremely inquisitive, there’s not a single moment in the classroom he’s not with you and wants to offer a reaction, a reflection or a response,” Cleveland said.

“He’s just constantly with you, and he’s not shy or bashful about offering an opinionated perspective.”

Although he may be a serious student, Cleveland said he’s also seen a side of Lopez-Sanders that’s just as important; the serious comedian. As a member of the high school’s chess and chocolate milk club Lopez-Sanders proposed creating a scale to rate different chocolate milks in search of the perfect after school refreshment for thirsty wood pushers hoping to become grand masters.

“Even though he’s extremely serious academically, he’s not a serious person,” Cleveland said.

Caring for a loved one is a rewarding experience, but can be emotionally and physically draining as well.

Whether the patient is elderly, disabled, or recuperating from major surgery, caregivers are generally needed around the clock. It’s important for caregivers to have an occasional break from their responsibilities, in order to recharge and take care of themselves too.

For those who don’t have family or close friends in the area who can step in and relieve the caregiver for a few hours, days, or even a few weeks at a time, there are facilities who offer respite care services.

Respite care is designed to relieve individuals and other family members who share responsibility for the care of loved ones who aren’t capable of taking care of themselves.

Caregivers for Alzheimer’s patients are a great example of those needing occasional breaks; it’s nearly impossible to leave Alzheimer’s patients

alone for even a minute, due to the risk that they may wander off and get lost or injured.

Newton Health Care Center, in Newton, Iowa, offers a Respite Care Program to relieve caregivers for a few hours a day or up to weeks at a time. A caregiver may need to travel occasionally for business, or may have their own medical issues that require downtime. They may just need an hour or two each day to run errands. Whatever the situation, NHCC can help.

Respite care offers many benefits. Caregivers can take a vacation to reduce stress and restore balance in their life. Patients benefit from having relaxed and refreshed caregivers, and during respite care they receive personalized attention and additional socialization with other people.

Newton Health Care Center’s Respite Care Program offers 24-hour nursing care, medication administration, daily meals and snacks, laundry services, and planned activities and other social services.

The best of times, the worst of times C

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Nov. 17, 2017

Another View Josh Hoxie

harles Dickens opened “A Tale of Two Cities,” perhaps his most famous tome, with the now iconic line, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”

The book is set in London and Paris during the late 1700s, the lead up to the French Revolution.

While revolution appears unlikely in the near term, we can draw some lessons from this tumultuous era to understand the growing economic divide in the United States today.

The ultra-wealthy are doing phenomenally well. The Forbes 400 own a combined $2.68 trillion in wealth. If you could lay all their money in dollar bills down to create a dollar-bill carpet, it

would cover the entire state of Massachusetts.

This concentrated wealth at the top continues to skyrocket. Jeff Bezos, head of Amazon, saw his wealth jump by $10 billion in October alone, making him the richest person in the country. In other words, one person’s wealth jumped by nearly $4 million per second last month.

And if that kind of obscene profiteering wasn’t enough, the president is offering a gigantic handout to the already uber-wealthy in the form of his tax plan.

For Jeff and his billionaire peers, it’s the best of times.

Things aren’t so good for everyone else. The United States remains the only developed country that doesn’t guarantee health care to all its citizens. We’re among the only countries in the world with an expanding work week, meaning we spend more time toiling and less

time on things like parenting, playing or sleeping.

We’re also witnessing the rise of what Nobel Prize winning economist Angus Deaton calls “deaths of despair.” Opioid overdoses and suicides are both on the rise.

Many Americans are coming to terms with the fact that millennials are likely to be the first generation in American history who won’t do better financially than their parents. One in five families is underwater, meaning they owe as much or more than they own.

A gripping stagnation is taking many forms throughout the country, leaving millions of families unable to get ahead of their problems. Rising student debt, declining workforce participation, and a minimum wage way below the basic cost of living are all factors.

For folks at the bottom, it’s the worst of times.

There’s a couple different ways this could play out.

Stagnation for the masses could become the status quo. In this scenario, an ever increasing portion of the popu-

lation toils for an ever decreasing portion of the nation’s economic resources.

Wealth funnels upward.

This is essentially the scenario Dickens depicts in 18th century France. If you remember anything about this era from your history classes, you probably remember what came next — the guillotine.

Fortunately, redistributing our nation’s resources doesn’t have to be violent or even unpleasant. It looks like increasing opportunities for everyone, supported by a strong social safety net.

It’s funded by those who’ve benefited the most from the nation’s basic economic, political, and social structure contributing their resources and their support to this effort.

There’s no natural order dividing the ultra-wealthy from a nation of strivers.

These conditions have been socially created by a system of rules and norms.

Changing these norms won’t be easy, but they will change one way or another.

I, for one, hope we choose the compassionate route and save ourselves the bloodshed.

So Anyway Dana King

Did the kids just out-hoity-toity me?

I’m not sure exactly how it happened or when it happened, but it occurred to me the other day my kids speak a different language than I do.

It’s all kind of strange.

Mick is “old school” when it comes to eating.

He eats dinner at noon and supper in the evening, whereas I eat lunch and supper, respectively.

But when the kids call to say they’ll be down to hang out and visit on a particular evening, they want to know what I’ll be serving for “dinner.” It’s like they’re all fancy-schmancy about eating after 5 p.m.

We are also a house divided when it comes to, not only the Hawkeyes and Cyclones, but our carbonated beverage of choice. Mick and I drink pop, but the kids drink soda, often poured from the same 2-liter bottle.

What the what?

How did this happen?

I’m going to side-track just a bit here. But there’s a reason so stay with me ...

I’m a card-carrying member of the grammar police, however unless I’m married to you or gave birth to you, I won’t correct you (not so you can hear me, anyway). That’s not to say I’m all uppity about speech, but please excuse me if my left eye begins to twitch when you say something along the lines of “sure, I seen that television program” or “he give this piece of paper a few days ago,” if I’m in your presence.

I also propose a test for anyone wanting to post narratives on Facebook. I cringe at the whole “there, they’re and their” thing and the incorrect use of “me” and “I” — which I realize is throwing a number of people I know under the proverbial bus.

So anyway ...

It’s obvious Josh and Carson paid a bit more attention when I’d talk with them during their growing-up years — probably because I was always repeating the same thing over and over to them due to that selective hearing condition they had — they have excellent grammar.

But my daughter? She was my little mini-me ... until she turned 12, at which point everything I said to her went in one ear and out the other.

That lasted most of her teenage years.

She tends to be a bit lazy when it comes to proper speech ... not totally unlike her dad. The difference between Mick and Avery though, is she realizes when she is doing it and most often (when in my presence, anyway) corrects herself with a little grin on her face.

So I understand any confusion they may have had growing up regarding the usage of, as Josh refers to some of his dad’s vernacular — “hick slang,” but how is it we’ve raised three full-blooded siblings, in the same house, with the same parents and they have simply designated different words for use around the supper/dinner table?

I will confess to replacing one in my own vocabulary just from watching the kids’ look of sheer horror when I told them I was going to slip my thongs on and wear them to the store. I naturally meant my sandals. They, however, envisioned ... umm ... yeah ...

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

When the cheap and dirty loses its punch

By Suzanne Fields In the high-tech world of social media, where the fake news thrives with the real, we’ve become a nation of voyeurs and eavesdroppers. Consuming the salacious is the guilty pleasure. We see and overhear a broad range of sordid comings and goings — what we used to describe quaintly as “dirty” — in the very vocabularies that were too embarrassing for general discussion and reserved for private conversations between close friends.

Public vocabularies have expanded to vulgarities that have become shockproof. Not much is X-rated.

Dirty speech that was only yesterday relegated to the locker room or stag parties with blue movies has overflowed into commonplace conversations in common space, by and for both men and women. “Open secrets” that protected male harassers in show biz, politics and even the mainstream media have escaped Pandora’s box and made us all equal-opportunity dirty talkers.

The New York Times introduces a special section for children as “all the news that’s fit to print for kids” to provide a “kid-centric” version of what’s going on around us. In an article about “slime,” a young reader could be forgiven for thinking it might be about something other than child’s play with sticky, icky globs of goo. The young reader expecting that would be disappointed.

The omnipresent exposure to the slime of adult behavior has been going on for a long time, accelerated only now by the tools of social media. The rap lyrics with “bitches” and “hoes” describing —

and celebrating — the imaginative abuse of women have immunized the young against the shock of rough language. The daily news of the behavior of politicians, media stars and show-biz biggies adds a new dimension to the cultural mashup.

It’s easy to lose count of how many times the word for self-pleasuring (it begins with the letter “m”) appears in the accounts — always on the front page — of Louis C.K. and Harvey Weinstein exposing themselves, however pitiful the sight may be. Rape, a four-letter word once spoken with horror, has become a commonplace accusation in the #MeToo movement as well as on the campus, where snowflakes flee to refuge from male aggressors — some actual aggressors, many merely imaginary.

While commentators rush online to say how horrible male harassment is, those accused of mean and gross deeds slink away with expressions of synthetic remorse and take refuge in luxury retreats dedicated to therapeutic rehabilitation from their medicalized misogyny. Euphemism, as in “inappropriate behavior,” is the lingua franca for outrageous behavior, and it has enabled many guilty men to escape culpability.

But perspectives are changing, and some of the male explanations sometimes read like deadpan scripts for “Saturday Night Live.”

“These stories are true,” C.K. said as he admitted he put his manhood on exhibit for women. “At the time, I said to myself that what I did was O.K.” because he never did it without asking first. (I’ll bet.)

C.K., perhaps psychologically ruined by having a stunted surname, was regarded as a master

in drawing on autobiographical insight and using it as comedy.

But as cultural perceptions have changed, humiliating women is no longer funny. There’s a sea change (or at least a river or creek change) in attitude toward entertainers and politicians. Not even former President Bill Clinton could get away today with his tawdry abuses of two decades ago.

Caitlin Flanagan in The Atlantic liberal magazine draws a direct line from the defense the Democrats provided Clinton to the indulgence they granted Weinstein for years. “The widespread liberal response to the sex-crime accusations against Bill Clinton found their natural consequence 20 years later in the behavior of Harvey Weinstein: Stay loudly and publicly and extravagantly on the side of signal leftists causes and you can do what you want in the privacy of your offices and hotel rooms,” she said. Gloria Steinem has got to be ashamed of how she allowed her left-wing politics to slut-shame and victim-blame his accusers, who were credible witnesses all.

Flanagan wants the Democratic Party and the “machine” feminists to be held accountable for being on the wrong side of women abused

by Clinton. And there are lessons here for the Republican Party, too, in what happens to senatorial candidate Roy Moore in Alabama.

“Political morality” may seem an oxymoron, but our children and grandchildren need to know that there are still responsible adults who, no matter their political affiliation, will protect them from a vulgarized culture — and scorn those who need disdaining, whatever the political cost. Politics is cheap, but the culture is priceless.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Friendship fades following criticism of husband’s jokes

DEAR ABBY: I have been friends with “Martha” for 40 years. We live a few hundred miles apart, so I like to call her and chat. The problem is, her husband always answers the phone, and he likes to give me a hard time.

When I identify myself and ask to speak to Martha, he says he doesn’t know anyone by my name, or says there’s no Martha living there. Once he told Martha to ask me how my ex-husband was. (I have not seen my ex for 40 years, since our divorce.)

The last time it happened, I told Martha her husband was annoying and that she should call me from now on. She said he was just trying to be funny. I haven’t heard from her since, not even a birthday card. Was I wrong to speak up? Should I apologize or just lose this friendship? — PROBLEM HUSBAND IN FLORIDA DEAR PROBLEM: Martha’s husband doesn’t strike me as being particularly witty. After a few repeat performances of his lame material, I can understand how someone would become annoyed. I don’t think you owe Martha an apology for being honest about how you felt. Because you left the ball in her court, it’s possible that since you did all the work staying in touch, your 40-year friendship was not as close as you assumed or you would have heard from her.

DEAR ABBY: A friend and I belong to a book club and have regularly gone to lunch and a movie afterward.

We have occasionally mentioned a movie we liked while chatting prior to the start of the book club meeting.

This has prompted other people to invite themselves along or ask if they can go with us.

If we wanted to spend more time with these women, we would have invited them. The two of us feel that this afternoon outing is OUR time together and we would prefer it being just us.

We changed the day, which was a bit

inconvenient but preferable to the alternative. How do we handle it when future inquiries come up without hurting feelings or sounding snobbish? — OUR TIME TOGETHER DEAR OUR TIME: Your mistake was in talking about your movie dates in front of the other women. In the future, handle it by refraining from doing that, and your problem will go away.

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I have been together for two years.

We are in our 50s and have both been married before. My problem is I don’t know how to respond to his friends and family when they talk to me about his first wife. They tell story after story, and it makes me uncomfortable. I feel disrespected but smile politely to not be rude. Any thoughts? — GIRLFRIEND IN NEW JERSEY DEAR GIRLFRIEND: I am sure no one does it out of a desire to make you uncomfortable or disrespect you.

How you respond would depend upon whether your boyfriend’s marriage ended in death or divorce.

If his former wife is deceased, a way to change the subject might be to say, “It sounds like she was a wonderful (mother, daughter, woman).” However, if the marriage ended in divorce, all you need to say is that you’d rather focus on the present than the unhappy past.

Dems leader seeks Senate GOP harassment findings DES MOINES — The top Democrat in the Iowa Senate wants information released from an internal investigation into alleged sexual harassment within the Senate Republican caucus. Senate Minority Leader Janet Petersen, a Des Moines Democrat, sent letters Thursday to the GOP-controlled chamber’s two ranking Republican lawmakers requesting that findings from the investigation be shared publicly. The investigation was launched after a trial this year involving a former Senate GOP staffer.

City pays settlement to wrongly-arrested man WEST DES MOINES — The city of West Des Moines has paid $450,000 to a man who spent more than 10 days in jail charged for a sex abuse crime he didn’t commit.

The city reached the settlement with Matthew Rodrigues in August. As part of the agreement, the city says Rodrigues was arrested “due to a case of mistaken identity.”

Ankeny coupled charged in death of 7-month-old ANKENY — An Ankeny couple has been arrested and charged in the Aug. 26 death of their 7-month old daughter.

Michelle Atwell, 33, was charged Wednesday with child endangerment causing substantial risk and several drug counts, while 48-year-old Matthew Cohara was charged with child endangerment causing no injury and drug counts.

Investigators say both parents told police they had been drinking and smoking marijuana the night of Aug. 25.

Man sentenced for role in faking deaths for insurance DES MOINES — An Ottumwa man has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for his role in helping a woman fakes the deaths of three of her family members to collect insurance payments. The U.S. Attorney’s Office for Iowa’s southern district says 34-yearold Cletus Abongwa Ngwa was sentenced in September and ordered to pay joint restitution of more than $260,000 after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud.

Community pays tribute to veterans One sound could be heard at exactly 1:11 p.m. Saturday — the sound of 21 shots fired followed by the somber tune of a bugle playing “Taps” as community members turned their thoughts to those who served in the U.S. Armed Forces.

“I’m am here to honor the ones before us and those who are actively serving today,” Mayor Mike Hansen, who participated in the 21-gun salute, said. “It is important to instill in the younger folks and everyone who is participating in this. It is of value to serve our nation in some capacity.”

In accordance with Veterans Day, Newton residents, from young children to the mayor himself gathered at the American Legion Saturday morning to give their respects

to the people who served in the United States Armed Forces.

The ceremony at the American Legion started exactly at 11:11 a.m. at the facility at 1101 W. Fourth St. S., in tribute to when all went quiet on the Western Front and the end of World War I. Flag bearers from various local veteran groups came through the doors accompanied by a bagpipe rendition of “America the Beautiful” by Ron Husted.

Veterans stood in salute as the flags were placed in front of the podium.

Meals from the Heartland visits Newton Hundreds of eager volunteers slipped on hairnets and plastic gloves Monday afternoon at Newton DMACC campus and packaged 20,000

meals to help fight hunger.

Meals from the Heartland is a nonprofit organization made up of volunteers who package meals to be delivered to those in need in Iowa, nationwide and worldwide.

It was the first time the West Des Moines-based organization visited Newton.

Mike Frandsen, a hunger fight assistant, said the meals packaged will all be going to Puerto Rico to help feed hurricane victims and disaster relief.

“We started 10 years ago and the cool thing is we have packaged 100 million meals,” Frandsen said. “So we are breaking records every day.”

Frandsen said the organization will have sent 7 million meals to hurricane disaster relief in Puerto Rico, Texas and Florida.

Teachers tour new middle school for the first time Teachers and staff members at Berg Middle School got their first look at the new Berg during a tour of the construction site Tuesday morning. The new middle school, built to replace an aging fa-

cility that’s been plagued by issues over the years, is the result of a $26.9 million bond, approved last year in a 66 percent margin by voters.

On Tuesday, teachers at the middle school got their first chance to walk through the new school. Berg Middle School Principal Lisa Sharp said she was impressed by her initial visit, and she’s excited to take the reins at the district’s newest building when construction is completed.

“I think that the kids and the teachers will have a beautiful and classy educational environment,” Sharp said.

Sharp said teachers have been involved with the construction process since the beginning, making suggestions about the design, serving on various committees and now that there are finally opportunities to tour the new building, she thinks the excitement is steadily growing as teachers watch the project take shape.

Skiff looks to lawmakers for help with mental health Administrators at Skiff Medical Center want chang-

es in the Iowa state code to better serve patients dealing with mental health issues and they’ve come to local legislators seeking help. On Wednesday mental health advocates met with lawmakers Sen. Chaz Allen and Rep. Wes Breckenridge to talk about shifting some sections of the state’s code, which they say will help ease the mental health crisis the state is facing.

Currently, Iowa ranks last in the nation in terms of mental health, and the closure of two state mental health hospitals, in Clarinda and Mount Pleasant has strained the resources of smaller hospitals like Skiff, who are seeing a surge of mental health patients in their emergency rooms. Sonja Rank, Skiff ’s CEO, said hospital emergency rooms aren’t always the best place to treat patients suffering from mental health issues, and should be used a last resort. Medical professionals are asking the state to help increase the levels of sub-acute and post-acute care to patients.

“We want to have some level of influence to make it better because people are suffering and they’re not getting the treatment they need,” Ranck said.

Iowa gaming commission rejects Cedar Rapids casino plan DUBUQUE — A state gaming commission on Thursday rejected proposals for a casino in Cedar Rapids, reflecting its long-held concerns that it would hurt profits at existing Iowa casinos.

The decision came during a meeting in Dubuque, where members discussed the merits of three proposals. Two of the proposals came from Cedar Rapids Development Group: a plan similar to one proposed and rejected in 2014 for a $196 million Cedar Crossing development on the west side of the Cedar River and a smaller, $106 million casino in down-

town Cedar Rapids.

The third proposal from Wild Rose Entertainment would have built a smaller $42 million “boutique” casino downtown.

Commission Chairman Richard Arnold, of Russell, and member Delores Metz, of Algona, voted to allow a license, citing the positive economic affect it would have on Cedar Rapids — more than $100 million according to one proposal.

A casino would send shows to the city’s underutilized events center and new patrons to downtown Cedar Rapids restaurants, Arnold said.

“These projects seem to be a perfect fit for downtown Cedar Rapids,” he said.

But others said the proposals did little to assuage the concerns they had in 2014, including figures that show casino gambling in the state has seen no growth in recent years.

Introducing a new casino would undercut existing ones that have invested millions to keep their faculties up-to-date and inviting to patrons, commission member Carl Heinrich said.

Member Kristine Kramer echoed that, saying a casino at Cedar Rapids would hurt the

economies of outlying rural areas that already have them, such of Riverside, Tama and Waterloo.

She expressed sympathy for Cedar Rapids, the state’s second-largest city that is still recovering from the economic hit it took from devastating floods nearly 10 years ago.

“But you were the second-largest city when you turned gaming down, too,” Kramer said, referencing the city’s 2003 vote against allowing casino gambling.

Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett took issue with the remark, noting that the vote near-

ly 15 years ago came at a time when Iowa allowed only riverboat gambling.

“I thought that argument was out of line and out of context,” he said. “It would be akin to telling a school district that because voters once rejected a bond issue, they shouldn’t be allowed to approve one ever again.”

The downtown site that had been considered for a casino is privately owned and will likely be redeveloped for another use, Corbett said. Public land on the west side of town that the city has set aside for a proposed casino will now have to get another look, he said.

AP Column —

Earnhardt long ago outgrew his father’s shadow

By Jenna Fryer The Asscociated Press

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — He was so shy, so skinny, not yet somebody.

It was around 1997 and Dale Earnhardt Jr. was testing at Talladega Superspeedway, wearing an all-white firesuit.

Bobby Labonte was the star at the Alabama test that day, and all the media crammed into Talladega’s wood-paneled press room to talk to Labonte.

I’m not sure anyone talked to the Earnhardt kid that day.

Why would they? Nobody had any idea what he was about to become.

In that moment at Talladega, he was just the son of NASCAR’s greatest hero, a rich kid getting a chance to shake down a car because of his last name. Earnhardt hadn’t accomplished anything and NASCAR had no idea it had a future rock star in its midst.

Earnhardt, it turned out, was not just a kid getting a break because his father owned Dale Earnhardt Inc. The Hall of Famer was tough on his kid, made him work hard, kept him

NASCAR Photo Dale Earnhardt Jr. will compete in his final race on Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway. He plans to retire after the 2017 NASCAR Monster Energy Cup Series finale.

honest — two traits Junior has carried with him all the way

until now, his final week as a full-time driver in NASCAR.

Retirement awaits, and so does fatherhood.

Earnhardt started small, worked his way through the Xfinity Series and became a two-time champion. Then Earnhardt graduated to the Cup level in 2000 in a seat owned by his dad with splashy sponsor Budweiser and an expensive marketing campaign.

Earnhardt Jr. dyed his hair blonde, threw raucous parties at the Club E he’d built on his property, and Bud got him into the hottest parties and sporting events all over the country.

Behind the wheel, he was a winner. The DEI cars were good back then, and Earnhardt made it to victory lane in just his seventh start. As his fan base began to grow, he became a cult hero to the NASCAR fan and recognizable to the casual sports observer.

When his father was killed in an accident on the last lap of the Daytona 500 the next season, Earnhardt’s world changed in every way. Now the spotlight was on him all the time, and without his father around to cast a disapproving EARNHARDT | 2B

In a winter sports state of mind W

ith the cooler temperatures of late, especially on Thursday, I’ve been put in a winter sports state of mind.

The Newton Daily News sports staff is putting finishing touches on the 2017 Jasper County Winter Sports Preview section, due out on Wednesday. The section features all the winter sports teams from Newton, Prairie City-Monroe, Colfax-Mingo, Lynnville-Sully and Baxter high schools.

The special section will be in Wednesday’s Newton Daily News and in next week’s Jasper County Tribune, Prairie City News and Monroe Legacy.

Friday night the girls hit the basketball courts. Newton High’s Cardinals are hosting their annual four-team Cardinal Holiday Girls Basketball Tournament. It is a two-day event.

There are five teams involved in this years Newton girls’ tournament — North Polk, Carlisle, Prairie

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets City-Monroe, Chariton and Newton.

The format is different — two games each day with no championship or consolation contests on Saturday.

Also on Friday, Lynnville-Sully opens at home Friday against Iowa Valley and beginning it’s first basketball season as Baxter in many years instead of CMB, Baxter is on the road at BCLUW. All the area girls’ basketball teams will be in action on Tuesday. Perry is at Newton, PCM is at Knoxville and Colfax-Mingo is at East Marshall. The big area game will be Lynnville-Sully at Baxter on Tuesday.

The Newton/Colfax-Mingo/Pella boys’ swim team begins the 2017-18 season Tuesday in a dual with Indianola at home at the Newton YMCA. The NCMP boys have just three home meets this season — all before Christmas. The NCMP Cardinal Invitational is Dec. 2 then NCMP hosts Des Moines Roosevelt on Dec. 19, which is Senior Night.

Area boys’ basketball and wrestling teams spring into action following the Thanksgiving break. Newton’s girls and boys open bowling season Nov. 30.

Sports are not easy — fun, but not easy. Athletes and coaches invest their time, effort and emotion in competing at as high of a level as they can each and every practice and competition.

As I covered the Newton athletes and area school’s athletes, I recognize the dedication they and their coaches have had not just during the season.

Success comes from the effort put in during the offseason combined with the season’s work.

The fall sports seasons are in the book for 2017 for the area high schools. These athletes just move on to the next sport as do coaches. Parents, fans and sports writers also move to the next season.

So, here we are on the cusp of winter sports season, are you ready for some action? I’ve always been of the belief of embracing who is on the teams as my teams. We can’t worry about who is missing from a team and what another team is doing.

We embrace who are team is and who we are as fans. We cheer them on no matter what the outcomes are along the way.

When I was growing up in a very small town in Kansas, the high school teams were not very good. We played eight-man football and got rolled. We played basketball and got thumped.

Once we began high school wrestling, we had individuals who were pretty good, just like our track and field teams over the years.

I went to Kansas State University, where basketball was king — yes, basketball. The Wildcats won Big Eight Conference championships when I was in Manhattan. Football not so much.

I learned to embrace all of the Linwood Junior High and High School athletic teams for who they were.

Growing up a K-State fan, I did the same with the Wildcat teams.

It’s always easier to be a fan or a participant when a team is winning.

When a team is young and struggles or just struggles, it’s not as easy. I’ve always said ‘I was a K-State football fan before it was cool to be a K-State football fan.”

Be a fan and follow your teams through the ups and downs, twists and turns of each season. Cheer them on always.

Iowa State tops App State in Puerto Rico Tip-Off CONWAY, S.C. (AP) — Iowa State gave coach Steve Prohm the response he wanted to see.

Donovan Jackson scored a career-high 26 points while the Cyclones overcame their shooting struggles to beat Appalachian State 104-98 in Thursday’s first round of the relocated Puerto Rico TipOff. The Cyclones (1-2) entered shooting 39 percent, but finished at 52 percent with 10 3-pointers. There also was an efficient second-half stretch that put Iowa State up double figures and kept them out front the rest the night, allowing them to avoid their first 0-3 start in nearly 30 years.

“I thought everything was a lot better,” Prohm said. “We’ve been preaching about the right way to play. We don’t run a lot

of sets. I don’t want to walk it up and run sets. I want to move the basketball, play with great pace, cut, share the ball.

“And when we were moving the ball and not holding it, we got good action.”

Indeed. The Cyclones led by 18 points, then kept the Mountaineers (2-1) at arm’s distance in the highest-scoring game

in the 11-year history of the Tip-Off — which is being played in South Carolina due to hurricane damage in Puerto Rico.

Iowa State ran off a pair of 12-2 bursts in the second half, including one stretch in which the Cyclones scored on 10 of 14 possessions.

Freshman Justin Forrest scored a season-high 32 points for the Mountaineers, including a tournament-record 26 points after halftime. Ronshad Shabazz scored 21 of his 32 points before halftime in a twoman show for Appalachian State.

“We’ve got to be better than we were today,” coach Jim Fox said. “I thought we went through some spells there where we tried to play as people we were not. And what happens is it carries over to the defensive end and we really struggled there.”

Astros’ Altuve, Marlins’ Stanton claim MVP honors

Nunge leads Hawkeyes past Grambling for third straight win

NEW YORK (AP) — Jose Altuve and the Houston Astros have grown together, enduring an arduous rebuild and coming out the other side among baseball’s best.

These days, nobody is standing taller.

Altuve won the American League MVP award Thursday, towering over New York Yankees slugger Aaron Judge by a wide margin and capping Houston’s championship season with another piece of hardware.

Giancarlo Stanton won the NL MVP, edging Joey Votto of the Cincinnati Reds in the closest vote since 1979.

The 5-foot-6 Altuve drew 27 of the 30 firstplace votes in balloting by members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America.

Altuve beat out a player who couldn’t be more different. The 6-7 Judge won the AL Rookie of the Year award Monday after setting a rookie record with 52 home runs. Judge’s moonshot homers dominated the highlights, and his No. 99 jersey was the top seller in baseball. Even Altuve has said he would have voted for Judge.

Stanton led the big leagues with 59 home runs, most in the majors since 2001, when Barry Bonds hit a record 73 and Sammy Sosa had 64.

Stanton got 10 first-place votes and 302 points.

Votto, who led the majors with a .454 on-base percentage, also got 10 firsts and had 300 points.

Arizona’s Paul Goldschmidt was third.

The last time an MVP race was so close, Willie Stargell and Keith Hernandez tied for the NL prize in 1979.

Stanton became only the sixth player to win from a losing team. The Marlins were 77-85.

IOWA CITY (AP) — For the first time this season, Iowa got into trouble.

The Hawkeyes survived thanks to their defense, holding Grambling scoreless for over six minutes after somehow falling behind at home and pulling out an 85-74 win Thursday night.

“I thought we played a team that was ready,” Iowa head coach Fran McCaffery said.

Iowa (3-0) committed 13 turnovers and Grambling capitalized, scoring 21 points off the takeaways. The Hawkeyes only committed four giveaways in the second half, but the Tigers kept the Hawkeyes on their toes, shooting 42 percent and hitting 10 3-pointers.

Enter Jack Nunge, who the Hawkeyes turned to for a consisted source of scoring. The true freshman finished the game turnover-free in his 27 minutes of play.

Nunge dropped a career-best 17 points, grabbed seven rebounds, and dished out two assists.

“Credit my teammates, they were getting me the ball in plac-

Earnhardt

Continued from Page 1B glare, Earnhardt struggled.

He was still shy, still had some insecurities, and wasn’t comfortable being the guy forced to carry his father’s legacy.

Fast-forward to 2007 and Earnhardt and his sister, Kelley, were in a strained relationship with their father’s wife.

They didn’t like the direction Teresa Earnhardt was taking DEI, and he wanted 51 percent control of the team in his

contract negotiations. Teresa Earnhardt had also publicly questioned her stepson’s commitment, and Earnhardt painfully admitted in a preseason news conference that their relationship “ain’t a bed of roses.”

Four months later, he’d made his decision to leave DEI. Earnhardt took people who had covered the bulk of his career into his office and explained to them, personally, why he was leaving. He feared what people would think of him, and he’d been raised to be honest and behave pro-

es I could score,” he said. “I was knocking them down tonight.”

Anthony Gaston drained a trey, giving Grambling a 59-56 advantage midway through the half. McCaffery called a timeout and elected to give a different viewpoint to his players during the break.

“In that situation, let’s focus on what we’re doing, not screaming and yelling at what we’re not doing,” McCaffery said.

Isaiah Moss sparked a 14-0 Hawkeye run in the second half after he knocked down a 3-pointer, tying the game at 59.

Iowa’s break-away run lasted more than 6 minutes, and the Tigers couldn’t find an answer for Moss, Nunge, and Luka Garza, who almost notched his second double-double (13 points, 9 rebounds) in as many games.

Free throws sealed the deal for Iowa despite a late-surge

by Grambling, which cut the Hawkeyes’ lead to nine with more than a minute remaining.

Key Numbers The Hawkeyes out-shot the

fessionally. Earnhardt didn’t want anyone to think he was abandoning his father’s team.

Off to Hendrick Motorsports he went, and that wasn’t what anyone hoped. Racing wasn’t fun, he was no longer getting along with the family members who had always been part of his career and his performance was awful.

It was Steve Letarte who took over as crew chief and rebuilt Earnhardt. He held him accountable with a strict schedule, demanded Earnhardt be present for debriefs

Tigers at the free throw line by 30 attempts. Iowa sank 27 of its shots, while Grambling finished perfect from the stripe.

Jordan Bohannon hit nine of his 10 free throw attempts, including 7 in the game’s final 1:20.

Nunge’s Night Nunge recorded his best scoring outing of the season against the Tigers.

Listed at 6-foot-11, Nunge displayed his touch from outside, knocking down three 3-pointers, tied for a team-high.

Connor McCaffery’s Illness Connor McCaffery missed Iowa’s first two games due to an ankle injury, but an illness kept him out of Thursday’s game.

Diagnosed with Mono, McCaffery will likely be out for the next few weeks, according to his coach.

Fran McCaffery noted that had Connor McCaffery been mono-free, he would have played tonight, as his ankle is good to go.

Up Next Iowa faces Louisiana on Nov. 20 in the Cayman Islands.

Grambling State plays at South Dakota on Saturday.

and team meetings, and he coached him back into a winning race car driver.

Earnhardt will retire after Sunday’s season finale having never won a championship.

He never filled his father’s shoes on the race track. But he won two Daytona 500s and built an army of loyal fans.

He also settled into his own skin, found his voice on social media and became the social conscience of NASCAR simply by stating his beliefs and being honest, as his father had taught him to be.

NASCAR Photo Dale Earnhardt Jr., driver of the No. 88 Nationwide/Justice League Chevrolet, leads a pack of cars during the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway on Nov. 5, 2017 in Fort Worth, Texas. He will close out his 20-year NASCAR career on Sunday at Homestead-Miami Speedway.

He took NASCAR to events and appearances the sport had never accessed before, and he settled into a life with wife Amy, who brought him out his shell. She was by his side during a grueling recovery last season from concussions, and the couple will become first-time parents next year.

Earnhardt is nothing at all like the kid trying to wedge his way into NASCAR two decades ago. But in many ways, the money and the fame and lifetime of experiences hasn’t changed him at all.

All the adulation and the accomplishments are because of who Earnhardt is, not because of his lineage.

“I read something on Twitter the other day about my brother, he said he has always lived under Dad’s shadow and that is not such a bad thing,” Earnhardt said. “I don’t know that you are always out from under it, but it didn’t bother me, but I was always compared to him and compared to his success, the person he was, people either liked I was different or didn’t like that I was different and wanted me to be just like him or whatever.

“It was often in conversation or part of the topic of conversation in articles and so forth. I really don’t know when that started to happen.”

And now, with one final race in his retirement tour, the emotions and the reality are very real for Earnhardt. Although he has three cars running for the Xfinity Series championship on Saturday, a future career in broadcasting with NBC, a baby girl on the way, there’s something missing this week.

“I just miss him so bad and wish he were here today to see all this happening,” Earnhardt said of his father.

To the untrained eye, it may seem as though certain people and things are upsetting.

However, you know better.

The upset is caused by an interpretation of what’s going on, not what’s actually going on. An interpretation is something that can be changed.

Decide how you’re going to see things before tomorrow’s new moon.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 17). A new hobby or interest is burbling up now and will take hold and solidify in 2018. Once you figure out the particulars, your commitment to the endeavor will introduce you to new people and places.

Your family will grow in the

new year. Your leadership will be often requested and sometimes paid for. Pisces and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 12, 2, 28, 40 and 15.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Walk in the sunshine. Eat delicious food. The sensuality of life will somehow feel like a thrilling escape and the sweet embrace of home all at the same time.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You like people who surprise you, even if the surprise is a bit weird. You’d much rather be jolted by the unexpected than lulled into a waking slumber by the tedium of the overly

familiar.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The person who has to make everything about himself or herself won’t change the pattern just for you. However, you may inspire this person to at least be more aware of that dynamic today, which is a start.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Getting the approval of others, avoiding their disapproval, giving a stellar performance, having things the way you want them ... all of that is nice, but not necessary to your happiness.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Avoiding responsibility doesn’t make anyone happier or freer.

It seems like it should! But there’s a great deal of good

to have the closure than not.

Today, you’ll get closure on a limbo situation.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’ll be developing a better way of looking at your life and some more supportive self-talk to go along with that new view.

What would you tell a friend to help them if they were your position?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). When experiencing unpleasant emotions, you know not to get stuck there.

You will quickly do something to create a different emotion and this fluidity of feeling keeps the day clipping along.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Service makes you feel good about who you are and your place in the world. You’ll love what comes out of this today, and you will likely sign up for more in the future.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll be especially susceptible to imagery today.

Take advantage of this by seeking out inspirational pictures of the life you desire, the person you want to be and the environment of your peaceful daydreams.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Goodbyes are important.

Whether they are happy, relieving or tearful, it is better

many positive experiences.

It’s as though you could stack them high enough to block out the negativity of the past.

This is a building project worth devoting yourself to.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

How you spend your day is how you’re spending your life. You’re so aware of this now that you may be moved to cut out an activity for good because it sucks time away from things you would rather be doing.
