Turnout is typically sparse in school-only elections; several seats on Jasper County boards of education will be on the ballot next Tuesday.

The experience of driving on a two-lane highway is much like traveling back in time, said filmmaker Kelly Rundle.

Rundle and his wife Tammy, natives of Waterloo and the Quad Cities, spent the past four years working a documentary that captures the history of a road that spreads across the entire state of Iowa.

Turnout typically low in school board elections Bond election in 2014 featured only 162 voters

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When board of education seats or school-funding issues are the only items on an election ballot, voters don’t tend to come out in droves.

Next week’s Newton election features school board seats only, without any major referendums or bond issues, and also

the date also falls on the Tuesday after Labor Day — making it tough for parents and other busy citizens to remember to vote.

If weather the three-day weekend or other factors lead to a low turnout Tuesday, it certainly won’t be the first time a schools-only election has low numbers. Without a major state or national issue at stake, Americans don’t get to the polls en masse, and Newton hasn’t been an exception.

According to the Iowa Secretary of State, there

were more than 26,000 registered Jasper County voters at the time of the last school board election, held in September 2013. Only about 7 percent of registered Newton-area voters participated, and that was a huge increase over the 3.2 percent average of the previous three elections.

Those 1,040 citizens voted board members Robyn Friedman and Travis Padget were elected and Sheri Benson and Andy Elbert retained their seats in a six-candidate field.

City’s Wellness Center in need of upgrades

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Members of the City Council Finance Committee Jeff Price, Craig Trotter and Steve Mullen along with City Administrator Bob Knabel visited the Wellness Center to get a closer look at needed upgrades.

The Newton City Council will consider new flooring for the city’s Wellness Center after being approved by the City Council Finance Committee Wednesday.

The matter was brought before the committee by the Wellness Committee and will now go before the full council at a future meeting.

“There are some dangerous spots in it (the current flooring), so it does represent some liability exposure,” City Administrator Bob Knabel said.

Knabel has been working with the Wellness Committee since the first of the year to make the Wellness Center, located in the basement of the Newton Fire Department, a high priority. Maintenance was

encouraged in the facility as well as the addition and replacement of some equipment.

“In total, the committee has identified approximately $14,000 in maintenance, including painting and repair of a treadmill and the replacement of the flooring and smaller equipment needs,” Knabel said.

Classes are free for members; $9 for a nonmember adult day pass.

Arthritis Foundation YMCA Aquatic Program Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays — 1 to 2 p.m.

This class is geared toward those with arthritis and other joint or muscle problems. Exercises are done in the water to help alleviate pain and increase movement.

Metro Creative Connection Research shows that eating more meals together at home can increase self-esteem, encourages healthier eating habits, improves grades and reduces risky behavior in children of all ages.

Share a meal: September is National Family Meals Month

By Jenny Thompson RD, LD, CDE Newton Hy-Vee Dietitian September is National Family Meals Month and dietitians are encouraging you to eat one more meal a week at home together as a family. Created by the Food Marketing Institute and its Foundation, this nationwide event hopes to educate all families on the importance of family meals and how greatly they benefit our youth.

Research has shown that eating more meals together at home can increase self-esteem, encourages healthier eating habits, improves grades and reduces the risky behavior among children of all ages. Another positive that comes from families eating more meals together is that structured meals can reduce the risk of children suffering from an eating disorder or being overweight when three or more meals are eaten at home per week.

With the new school year beginning, you can use this time to get back on track with schedules and family meals. Start with one meal at home per week and work to add more each week. Remember to include foods from all the food groups at meals using the MyPlate way. Keeping fruits and

vegetables on hand whether they are fresh, frozen or canned can make meals simple by adding those as quick side dishes. Picking up a rotisserie chicken also makes meal prep easy, simply remove the skin and shred for chicken tacos or slice for chicken sandwiches. Don’t forget the slow cooker isn’t just for wintertime; using your slow cooker during the week means supper is ready when everyone gets home.

Join in the celebration of National Family Meals Month because families who eat together stay healthy together.

Obese at 50? Midlife weight may affect when Alzheimer’s hits WASHINGTON (AP) — One more reason to watch the waistline: New research says people’s weight in middle age may influence not just whether they go on to develop Alzheimer’s disease, but when.

Obesity in midlife has long been suspected of increasing the risk of Alzheimer’s. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health took a closer look and reported Tuesday that being overweight or obese at age 50 may affect the age, years later, when Alzheimer’s strikes.

Among those who eventually got sick, more midlife pounds meant an earlier onset of disease.

It will take larger studies to prove if the flip side is true — that keeping trim during middle age might stall later-inlife Alzheimer’s. But it probably won’t hurt.

“Maintaining a healthy BMI at midlife is likely to have long-lasting protective effects,” said Dr. Madhav Thambisetty of NIH’s National Institute on Aging, who led the study reported in the journal Molecular Psychiatry.

About 5 million people in the U.S. are living with Alzheimer’s, a number expected to more than double by 2050, barring a medical breakthrough, as the population ages.

Alzheimer’s starts quietly ravaging the brain more than a decade before symptoms appear. With a cure so far elusive, researchers are hunting ways to at least delay the disease, and lifestyle changes are among the possible options.

To explore obesity’s effects, Thambisetty’s team turned to the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging, one of the longest-running projects to track what happens to healthy people as they get older. They checked the records of nearly 1,400 participants who had undergone regular cognitive testing every year or two for about 14 years; 142 of them developed Alzheimer’s.

The researchers checked how much those Alzheimer’s patients weighed when they were 50 and still cognitively healthy. They tracked BMI, or body mass index, a measure of weight to height. Every step up on the BMI chart predicted that when Alzheimer’s eventually struck, it would be 6.5 months sooner.

In other words, among this group of Alzheimer’s patients, someone who had been obese — a BMI of 30 — during middle age on average had their dementia strike about a year earlier than someone whose midlife BMI was 28, in the overweight range, Thambisetty explained.

Local News Documentary Continued from Page 1A drive-ins, historic sites and roadside attractions that line Iowa’s U.S. Highway 6.

Both Kelly and Tammy Rundle, directors of the independent film and video production company, Fourth Wall Films, made films when they were growing up. In the early 1990s, Kelly was working on documentaries in Los Angeles, Calif. with Columbia pictures when he became “disenchanted” with the movie industry and wanted to move on to something different.

The Rundle’s first documentary was about the Villisca Ax Murders of 1912. Their second film gave a history of the Iowa Indians, and how the state came to receive its name.

They also produced the regional Emmy nominated documentaries “Letters Home to

Continued from Page 1A Replacing the flooring was the largest project proposed. Currently, carpet covers approximately 60 percent of the floor. It is ripped and torn in several places, including in the track area and under the weights.

The committee received a bid for a rubberized flooring, similar to what is found in the high school wrestling area to replace the carpet.

The cost of the flooring is $8,013.16 which the committee is able to fund.

Hero Street” and “Country School: One Room – One Nation.”

The Rundles started the Highway 6 documentary after being approached by Dave Darby, president of the Iowa chapter of the U.S. Highway 6 Tourist Association. “‘River to River’ is a documentary to show how we’re connected to the history of Highway 6,” said Kelly Rundle. “Highway 6 follows a rock line, the curve of the land and the lives of people. Highways used to go through people’s homes and neighborhoods, their communities. Driving through them was a learning experience, and experience that is easy to lose touch of in the 21st century ... I think a lot of younger generations take it for granted.”

Highway 6 was once the longest transcontinental highway in the US. “River to River: Iowa’s Forgotten Highway 6,” travels

tee does have appropriations, and over the years, money has been used and not used and that which is not used, has been set aside. So part of the money for this comes from that part of it,” Knabel said.

The Wellness Committee needed approval from the council in order to move forward because it is more than the $7,500 limit that Knabel, as the city administrator, can approve. Knabel did approve the cost of painting at $300 and prepping the floor for $200.

A second part to financing the project comes from the ending fund balance totaling $5,500. That money would cover repairs to a treadmill at $1,000, the

from Davenport to Council Bluffs Iowa and mainly tells stories of the building of Highway 6 and the stories the Rundle’s encountered from east to west as they traveled, discovering the rural and cultural history of Iowa along the way.

Kelly Rundle said there was some difficulty piecing the story together as the history was scattered in newspaper clippings, old photos and the stories of people.

“With Interstate 80’s near universal use by travelers, Route 6 and the memories that define it have faded from the public’s consciousness,” director Kelly Rundle said.

“We kind of had this urgency to visit the roadside attractions before they were gone forever. Our experience became the film, and now the film is a journey that people can watch.”

The film was funded in part by grants from Humanities

purchase of a rowing machine for $900, a power lift bench costing $750, bumper plates at $416, kettle bells at $135, body and resistance bands for $83, battle rope at $120 and a dumbbell set at $2,827.

The Wellness Committee maintains the Wellness Center, which is used by the police and fire departments for annual fitness testing, new employee physical fitness exams and for regular training exercises for both departments. It is also open and available to all city and waterworks employees and their families.

Iowa, Silos and Smokestacks National Heritage Area and the National Endowment for the Humanities through the documentary’s fiscal sponsor, The Iowa U.S. Route 6 Tourist Association.

“Most travelers are unaware of the many colorful stories from the past around every turn in the road,” producer Tammy Rundle said. “Iowa’s portion of the transcontinental Route 6 has a past that includes Bonnie and Clyde, Jesse James, Nancy Drew, Jack Kerouac, the Great Race Across Iowa and others.”

The Rundles spent three days in Newton filming landscapes and townscapes, including the Jasper County Historical Museum, the Valle Drive-In, complete with classic cars filing in for the evening car show and the historic Sugar Grove Vineyards and Gathering Place/Grange Hall.

Only 162 NCSD voters participated in an April 2014 election. The sole purpose of the election was renewal of a PPEL levy — not exactly a long ballot full of high-profile decisions, and 82 percent of voters approved — but there were property taxes at stake.

‘Come with me if you want to live’

By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | Sept. 3, 2015

We were backing out of the Dowling Catholic High School parking lot recently after my 15-year-old sister’s varsity swim meet to start the 30-minute drive back to Colfax.

I asked my partner what she wanted for dinner, and her response was our routine playful banter. “Cabbage Key,” she smiled back. For those of you who have experienced Jimmy Buffet’s “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” the small Florida gulfside key is, according to local folklore, the place where the laid back songwriter wrote the iconic homage to island living.

And the cheeseburger on the menu at the island’s restaurant inspired the lyrics.

But from the look in her

eyes, I could tell she was serious. She opened her wallet and showed me the spendables from her last paycheck. We had the gas money, we had fare for the boat ride — “let’s just drive,” she said.

She wanted our dinner 24 hours later, sitting on the enclosed porch of the little secluded restaurant overlooking the bay and Pine Island. I felt my gut drop. Her eyes were piercing. I knew she would have gone had I just passed Newton on I-80 and headed for the Highway 218 southern route to our tropical destination.

But I couldn’t. I couldn’t help but think of my responsibilities — deadlines, city council meetings, my co-workers re-

actions if I just took off to the ocean.

Driving at night can be a cathartic experience, but I knew this one would be tension in silence. It wasn’t anger at our inevitable inaction and our destined Casey’s Pizza night in, but her message was about our lack of adventure. The monotony of life has recently begun to bare down, and our weekend day trips to Des Moines are getting a bit repetitive.

I’ve always envied the people who drop everything on a Friday afternoon, pack up their tents and kayaks and just drive until they find a shady spot on a secluded river for the weekend — letting go of every care at home, no thoughts of stress.

The folks who decide a weekend trip to Chicago is not too daunting are tenacious. They write no itinerary, no plan, only exploration.

This is my new goal — and for any coworker reading this, I’m not going to drop everything mid-week and leave you hanging — to be spontaneous.

I’m not going to be afraid to find a new spot in Iowa or beyond when life becomes to much a bear. I will trade in Google Maps for a road atlas, I will put down the lists for lineof-sight planning and I’ll go where I’ve never gone before — unchecked.

Iowa State Patrol issues reminders about school permits

W

ith schools opening, it brings another group of young drivers on school permits.

Many of these young drivers are getting in trouble when they are off route or giving friends rides. Every year we have these Cutts young drivers

getting in crashes.

The Iowa State Patrol wants to remind those who are driving on a school permit that this permit allows you to drive back and forth from home to school and/or activities between the hours of 5 a.m. and 10 p.m. You cannot drive after 10 p.m.

You must use the most direct route between school and home. You are allowed to stop for fuel at a station that is closest to your route. You are not al-

lowed to stop along your route or detour off your route to pick up friends or riders. Doing so can cost you your school permit. If it’s not a school event, you cannot drive to it. That includes after practice team dinners, non-sanctioned practices or part-time jobs these are not school events.

Doug Cutts is a senior trooper with the Iowa State Patrol in the safety education division.

Letter to the Editor

Letter writer’s anger should be directed elsewhere Rep. Dan Kelley Newton There are some things we can just count on — summer always ends too soon, the Chicago Cubs will always have “next year” and Michael Ware will always have a bone to pick with me.

Here we go again. Ware is the owner of Controlled Chaos Arms gun-shop, and a leader in the extreme gun lobby at the Capitol.

His unethical lobbying techniques have earned him distrust from legislators on both side of the aisle.

He’s personally contacted me hundreds of times. He demands extreme gun laws, including one to arm children, and he personally insults me. That’s his right. But he’s wrong.

He’s upset, but it’s easy to

see why. As the Jasper County spokesman for the extreme gun lobby, he’s downright angry that he’s fighting a losing battle. He’s entitled to his opinion, and he’s entitled to a courteous response to anything he sends me. But, I represent all residents of Newton and surrounding communities, not just him. So whatever his objections are, I will continue to oppose arming schoolchildren.

Interestingly, Mr. Ware shies away from his extreme views in his public letters and instead criticizes me for doing my job. In his most recent letter to this newspaper, he’s upset about the Department of Transportation and the Baxter interchange. He’s angry at me, but he needs to direct his anger elsewhere.

For example, earlier this year, I encouraged him to contact me concerning the safety of our public roads and bridges. Some in the courthouse cried foul and, in fact,

the Baxter Mayor even stated, “State Legislators have no control over local roads.” I disagree.

Legislators indeed have a role to play with the state DOT. For that reason, as I have long done, I will continue to insist that whatever the Department of Transportation decides regarding the roads in Jasper County is done with one goal in mind: keeping our people safe.

So, I will continue to encourage the director of the Department of Transportation to make sure DOT personnel live up to their duties in light of the difficulties with the interchange. Regardless of Ware’s opinion, I believe that’s my job. I’ll keep doing it.

I am proud to serve as your state representative. We must continue to work together to make this a great place to live, work and raise a family, and I thank you for the continued opportunity you have given me to serve.

On my morning walks with Buddy, I usually spy Ole Sharpie. He has a favorite sleepi n g s p o t u n der the bed of a semi t r a i l e r, By Curt Swarm p o s i - Guest Columnist tioned so he can warm himself by the morning sun. Buddy and I can get within 20 yards or so of Ole Sharpie, at least that’s what I call him, before he awakes and slinks off. He’s a smart dog, street wise and very cunning. I reach in my pocket and pull out a dog biscuit. Holding it up where Ole Sharpie can see, I holler, “Treat!

Ole Sharpie wanna treat?” I toss the biscuit down where he sleeps.

The next day it will be gone.

Ole Sharpie is a famous stray around Mt. Pleasant. People see him from one end of town to the other, from the Old Threshers grounds on the south side of town, to the water tower on the north.

I call him Ole Sharpie, because he is a shar pei. Like any folk legend, he has many names. I’ve heard him called Brownie, Tramp and Outlaw. Every town has its town drunk and stray dog.

Stories vary on how each came to be.

My favorite story is that he ran away from home several times, and was finally captured by the animal control officer. Ole Sharpie was locked up at the town’s animal shelter, but the owners, having had enough of his shenanigans, wouldn’t claim him. Ole Sharpie sensed what his fate was to be. He had noticed other dogs being taken away, never to return.

As luck (or divine intervention) would have

it, a violent storm hit Mt. Pleasant one night.

Some say it was a small tornado. The animal shelter was damaged, and many of the animals escaped, including Ole Sharpie. The animal control officer (dog catcher) rounded up most of the stray dogs and cats, but Ole Sharpie had learned his lesson. He was not about to be captured or fooled by a human again. Preferring life on the lam, he has been wandering Mt. Pleasant ever since.

People leave food out for him, and he also knows where to find other dogs’ food.

It’s obvious he’s not starving. Construction workers see him poking about, and leave parts of their lunch where he can find it. Sharpie is a good looking dog, and people are protective of him. Many people have tried to coax him into their house or car on a cold winter’s day, but Ole Sharpie will have nothing to do with that.

Quite independent, his freedom is all he wants.

It’s rumored that the animal control officer carries a tranquilizer gun in his vehicle just for Ole Sharpie. People are aware of it and like to tease the animal control officer. If they happen to get a smart phone picture of Ole Sharpie, they will post it on the animal control officer’s Facebook page.

The rivalry has reached a fevered pitch. Who will win? My money’s on Ole Sharpie.

I stop on my morning walk with Buddy to let him drink from the miniature old millpond in front of Mt. Pleasant Utilities. Buddy always sniffs and leaves his scent before drinking. It finally came to me the other day, “Ah, ha. This is where Ole Sharpie drinks, too.”

Newton Music Boosters seek new members Newton Daily News Now is the perfect time to become a member of the Newton Music Boosters.

The Music Boosters Club is a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the student music activities in the Newton school district. The club supports all vocal and instrumental music programs from middle school through high school. Newton has a long and proud tradition of excellence in the musical endeavors of our students. The Music Boosters’ goal is to continue this proud tradition, and to ensure that Newton students involved in band and chorus continue to benefit from their musical experiences.

The organization is now in its seventh year. Thanks to the generous support of its members, the boosters have been able to financially assist in many areas. The plan is to supplement (not replace) the financial support provided to the music program by the school district and coordinate the numerous volunteer efforts required to support the music programs.

A love of music is all that is required. You do not need to have a student in vocal music or band to be a booster.

During the last school year, the boosters purchased additional marching band uniforms to accommodate the large incoming freshmen class. The club also pur-

chased equipment for students in the marching band program, purchased a new band trailer and new graphics for both band trailers, paid for registration fees for various honor choirs and bands and covered the cost for clinicians for band and chorus.

“The Music Boosters are the muscles behind the madness.

Without Music Boosters we would be stuck; there would be no chaperones, no clinicians to bring in, no one available to help move equipment, no one to organize events such as band extravaganza, band picnic or Fall Festival of Music,” Newton High School band director Jim Beerends said.

“There would be no advocates for the vocal/instrumental programs outside of parents, no senior slide show at the end of the year, no large equipment purchases (trailers) ... in fact, we wouldn’t be able to operate very well at all.”

“The Music Boosters have been so very important to our success in the vocal music department,” former Newton High School vocal music director Norm Grimm said.

If interested in supporting vocal and instrumental music in the Newton district by becoming a Newton Music Booster, contact the membership chairs, Doug and Cindy Smith at 641-791-9197 or 6smithkids@gmail.com, or mail contribution to Newton Music Boosters, P.O. Box 383 Newton, IA 50208.

Man is devastated to learn of wife’s long-ago affair

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I are in our 60s and have been married more than 40 years. It hasn’t always been great, but we’ve made it.

Recently, while going through some old boxes in the basement, I ran across her diary and discovered that she had an affair while we were engaged. This has left me depressed, hurt and feeling very down. Should I confront her with my findings? — HURTING IN OHIO DEAR HURTING: If you feel the need to bring this up after 40 years, then rather than let it fester and ruin the next 40, tell your wife what you have found. However, before you do that, remember diaries are supposed to be private, and you will have to explain why you took it upon yourself to read something that was never meant for you to see.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 41-year-old mother of three. I was raised in a good household, but we didn’t have a lot of love. My folks were strict, straight to the point and good providers, but I don’t remember many hugs and kisses, or moments of real expressions of emotion or intimacy between them.

Now I realize I am the same way with my kids. I’m very matter of fact, strict and too serious. I love my children more than life itself.

But how do I become more loving?

I don’t know how to play or be silly.

My hubby tells me it bothers him sometimes when he’s trying to tell me how much he loves me and I make a joke or say something acerbic.

The problem is, my daughter is 9 and she is turning into me and my mother. She’s not frivolous, like a little girl should be. She’s serious, studious and almost cold in her assessment of everyone around her.

It worries me. How do I combat this? How do I change myself so I can help change her, before it’s too late? — BAD ROLE MODEL IN MISSOURI DEAR BAD ROLE MODEL: You have already taken the first step by recognizing the pattern that is being repeated. Another step in the right direction would be to discuss your discomfort with expressing emotion with a licensed therapist, because it has affected not only your daughter but also your relationship with your husband. While a therapist may not be able to help you “be silly,” a good one can offer suggestions on how to become more playful and communicate your feelings more openly.

However, I would caution you about one thing you said in your letter. Not all 9-year-olds are “frivolous.” Many of them are serious and studious and that’s a plus. If she “judges” contemporaries to the point of being sarcastic or cruel, she should be corrected before she’s perceived as a bully or turns herself into an outcast. I have always abided by the philosophy that if you think something nice about someone else, you should share it. You might suggest that to her.

3 Company offering customer services to add 150 jobs

Iowa school district settles lawsuit by another district PRESTON — The Easton Valley school district has settled a legal dispute with a neighboring district in eastern Iowa. Easton Valley must pay $450,000 to Northeast Community School District to settle the two-year legal battle. Easton Valley was created by the merger of the Preston and East Central districts. East Central had a grade-sharing contract with the Northeast district, but the new Easton Valley board refused to abide by it.

MARION — The Marion City Council is expected to vote Thursday on whether to buy fitness trackers for city employees.

The devices would be used for the city’s well-being program. If the council approves the proposal, the city will spend more than $19,000 on 152 Fitbit devices that can measure how many steps a wearer takes as well as his or her heart rate. City Manager Lon Pluckhahn says there’s a direct link between the cost of health insurance for the employees and city property taxes.

WEST DES MOINES — A California-based company that provides customer-related services for businesses is adding 150 jobs to its office in West Des Moines.

Alorica said Wednesday it will add customer care jobs to its office in central Iowa. There are about 35 people employed there now.

The new jobs will include responsibilities like reviewing credit card accounts which may have suspicious activity. The company is based in Irvine, Calif.

Baxter schools prepare for public vote on Instructional Support Levy

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News BAXTER — With the vote for the Instructional Support Levy coming up, Baxter Community Schools Superintendent Todd Martin held an informational meeting Wednesday to explain how the levy helps the district and how it affects the community.

The ISL has been in place at Baxter Schools for 25 years and if re-approved at the ballot box Sept. 8, it will be instituted for 10 more years.

The 321 Iowa schools that participate in the program use the funds to improve technology throughout the school, support the district’s entire curriculum, broaden the scope of instructional areas, maintain compliance with state and federal requirements and prevent

detrimental effects from possible enrollment fluctuations.

Martin said Baxter has experienced a lot of fluctuation in enrollment over the years.

Last year’s enrollment was down about 15 students, he said, and the ISL prevented cuts and helped maintain the school’s budget during a loss of traditional tax revenue.

“This (past) year is a good example. This came directly into play in maintaining our stability. The reality is without it, it probably would not have been possible to go through this year without making cuts,” Martin said. “And so again that’s the value of what this can do for us in those fluctuating times.”

This year Martin said the school is expecting upwards to 100 open enrollments and just a handful of outgoing stu-

dents.

Baxter Schools has also used the funds from the levy to upgrade technology over the years, according the school board president Curt Hansen, including the incorporation of 1:1 computers and the elementary learning management system Successmaker.

Overall, the levy has provided Baxter Schools freedom in the general fund for creating a foundation for teaching and learning, Martin said. If the vote happens to fail, he said the general fund might be compromised and could result in either the school having to make cuts or simply being unable to meet the budget.

“If we’re just going to boil this all down, we cannot continue to offer the current levels of programs and services to our students without this

additional funding stream,” Martin said.

If the vote passes Tuesday, the school will continue to receive $150,000 per year due to participation in the program, which will be used strictly on supporting the curriculum and maintaining the foundation for teaching and learning.

The funding source of the ISL is a blend of state income surtax and property tax. Martin reiterated Wednesday that people’s taxes would not increase due to the approval of the levy.

The school board passed the item 5-0 during a June regular meeting to continue participation in the instructional support program and to have the community vote on the public measure in regular elections. The board had an option to approve the levy for

another five years — like it did in 2010 due to it being an off election year — but Hansen said board members felt it was their responsibility to let the taxpayers vote.

“The board chose to go the way we had is because we felt it was our responsibility to come back to the taxpayers in 10 years and say ‘this is what we’re using your money for and this is what we need the money for’ instead of just imposing it on the people,” Hansen said. “It also makes you justify to the taxpayers why you’re doing this and why we’re wanting to continue, and I just think that it’s our responsibility to do that instead of just assuming that we’re going to institute it without asking the taxpayers.”

Pregame Outlook —

Cardinals adjust, improve to take on Bobcats

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Adjustments and improvements have been the focus of this week’s practices for Newton High’s Cardinal football team. The Cardinals learned from the mistakes in the season opening loss at Knoxville and moved to preparing for their home opener Friday.

The Cardinals (0-1) host Marshalltown’s Bobcats (1-0) for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff Friday in a non-district contest at H.A. Lynn Stadium. The freshman game kicks off at 4:45 p.m.

Other factors in Friday’s game will be the heat and humidity. Newton has held evening practices this week to deal with the heat.

“Our turf field adds more heat as the rubber heats up, but as soon as the sun goes down the field cools pretty quickly,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said. “We’ve had two good practices under the lights.

“We’ve stressed to our kids it is really critical to be hydrated. They need to drink a lot to catch up on the fluids after practices and throughout the day. If you lag behind on hydration, you can’t make it up by Friday night. We want to avoid cramping up during the game.”

Newton is coming off a 26-23 loss on a last-second field goal at Knoxville. There were mistakes made throughout the game. Ergenbright said the Cardinals reviewed the game film, talked about those mistakes, and then got to work.

“They’re a great bunch of kids. We went to work on execution on both sides of the football this week,” Ergenbright said. “Getting prepared for Marshalltown was a bit tough, since it played its first game in a torrential downpour most of the night.”

Marshalltown beat Waterloo East, 16-3, in the season opener. The Bobcats trailed

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Working together is essential for Newton High’s Cardinals on defense. In last week’s 26-23 loss at Knoxville, Dalton Nevels clamps down on Knoxville quarterback Jacob Zuck in the backfield with Newton teammate Josh Gulling (3) coming to help. Newton (0-1) plays its home opener Friday against Marshalltown (1-0) at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

3-0 at halftime, which had a 45-minute lightning delay. Marshalltown’s defense scored its first nine points on a long interception return for a touchdown and a safety.

The Bobcats were led on a touchdown drive by senior quarterback Peyton Williams, who scored on a four-yard run, for the final margin. Williams was 5-for-11 passing for 15 yards and rushed for a minus 10 yards on 11 carries.

John (Espinoza) Ross is Marshalltown’s leading rusher. The senior running back had 137 yards on 19 carries against Waterloo East. Ross gained only 193 yards on the

ground on 71 carries all of the 2014 season.

Williams led the defense with four solo tackles and three assisted tackles. Senior Josh Edel had the interception return of 43 yards for a touchdown.

“Coach (Don) Knock will have the Bobcats ready. It’s a different offense to prepare for as Marshalltown is a spread offense with mostly a one-back set. They want to throw the ball and mix the run in there. That’s different than the power running offense we faced at Knoxville,” Ergenbright said.

Ergenbright said the Car-

dinals’ defensive look will be different in Friday’s game with the Bobcats. He said facing two different types of offenses is a good opportunity to prepare his team for district play.

“It really comes down to execution for us. We still have a lot of young faces on the field for us. They are learning and asking good questions in practices,” he said. “We had three drives late in the game, scoring on two of them, last week, and we grew up a lot.

“We have to have that sense of urgency from the beginning of the game. We’re looking to establishing our running game, building off

how we ended the first game.”

On offense, senior Bryce Tish moves from wideout to tight end as senior Andrew Weiland shifts to a larger role on the Cardinal defensive unit. Ergenbright said Tish will do a good job playing tight end and Weiland provides quickness and athleticism on defense.

Senior defensive back Cole Peters is out with a knee injury. Ergenbright said there were several other plays “nicked up.”

Banged-up Raiders play home opener against long-time rival

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Roland-Story’s football team will have plenty of advantages to work with when the Norse travel to Maxwell Friday to take on the Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter Raiders in Week 2 of the high school season.

The Raiders will likely be without two of its best players and Roland-Story will be playing its first game of the season, which won’t be beneficial to CMB’s preparation.

But CMB coach Rob Luther will play the hand his team was dealt and hopes the depth of his roster is enough to win the home opener and improve to 2-0 on the season.

“They got to see some of our stuff, and we’re shooting dark,” Luther said about Roland-Story’s game last week being canceled due to weather. “I would have rather had them play a game, but we are going to worry about ourselves more than anything.”

Luther has a few things to worry about. Junior starting quarterback Hunter McWhirter and junior starting offensive and defensive lineman Archer McFadden both went down in the first quarter of last week’s win over West Marshall and both are doubtful for Friday’s home opener.

The good news is that Luther has a capable and experienced backup quarterback in Nate Bishop, who has been told he will start the game against Roland-Story. McWhirter suffered a high ankle sprain against the Trojans and could play, but Luther doesn’t want to risk further injury in a young season.

“I don’t see our situation as a starter and a backup, I see it as 1A and 1B,” Luther said about his two quarterbacks. “It’s nice to have options, and the other players respect Nate when he’s in there, too.”

No matter who is on the field, and no matter what the records of the two teams are, fans should expect a competitive game.

CMB is 4-1 over the last five games against the

Area prep football game previews Norse, but only one of those games — a 42-7 win in 2013 — was decided by seven points or less. The Norse’s only win against CMB over the past five seasons was a 35-28 victory in 2012 that ended up being their only win of the year.

In 2014, the Raiders won 32-26 and finished 101, while the Norse were 1-8.

“Our CMB/Roland-Story games have been great over the years,” Luther said. “You can go back several years and most of the games are close. It doesn’t matter how good each team is.”

Roland-Story did not play South Hamilton last week because rain flooded Roland-Story’s field. The game won’t be made up.

The Norse bring back junior quarterback Brett Staton. Staton threw four picks in his second career start against CMB last year and had 14 interceptions when the season ended.

His top three receivers from last year all graduated, but the Norse bring back six of their top eight tacklers from a year ago.

Class 1A No. 2 Pella Christian (1-0) at Class A No. 10 Lynnville-Sully (1-0), 7 p.m.

These two teams went about piling up a ton of points in last week’s opener in different ways, but the Eagles and Hawks are now ranked after easy wins.

Lynnville-Sully rushed for 374 yards in a blowout win over Van Buren, while the Eagles threw for 355 yards and routed 2A PCM in its opener.

Sage Ehresman led the Hawks rushing attack with 133 yards and five scores.

Eagle quarterback David Kacmarynski added six touchdowns to his 355 yards. His favorite target was Levi Jungling, who gained 312 receiving yards and five scores in the win.

Jungling rushed for 135 yards during Pella Christian’s 38-0 win over Lynnville-Sully in 2014.

The Eagles forced six turnovers in the win over PCM last week.

Central Decatur (1-0) at PCM (0-1), 7 p.m.

The Mustangs will try to bounce back from a blowout loss to Class 1A No. 2 Pella Christian but another tough opponent awaits in their home opener.

Central Decatur beat PCM 20-7 last year and opened up the 2015 season with a 46-8 win over Nodaway Valley. Central Decatur went 9-3 and reached the 1A quarterfinals in 2014.

Boothe Carter threw for 198 yards and four scores against the Wolverines last week. Carter’s favorite targets will be Peyton Pedersen and Mickey Morgan. Pedersen had nine catches for 99 yards and hauled in three of Carter’s four touchdown passes.

Logan Gilman threw four picks last week against Pella Christian but not all of those were his fault.

The Mustangs had six turnovers in all.

Colfax-Mingo (0-1) at Clarke (0-1), 7:30 p.m.

Both teams look to get on the winning track in this non-district affair. Clarke has lost 19 straight games dating back to the 2013 season opener but nearly defeated Colfax-Mingo last season.

The Tigerhawks escaped 21-19 a year ago behind Jared Myers’ 286 passing yards and three scores. Jacob Lietz and Blake Summy had a combined 12 catches, 199 yards and three touchdowns in the win.

Clarke lost 14-0 to Saydel in Week 1, and the Indians turned it over three times and gained just 157 total yards of offense. Saydel rushed for 206 yards in the win.

Colfax-Mingo turned it over three times in a loss to Pleasantville last week.

Baylor handling of sex assault cases gets outside probe WACO, Texas (AP) — Baylor University has hired a Philadelphia law firm to independently investigate the university’s handling of sexual assault complaints, including one against defensive end Sam Ukwuachu.

Ukwuachu was sentenced last month to six months in jail and 10 years of probation for sexual assault.

In a statement Wednesday, Baylor regents said Gina Maisto Smith and Leslie Gomez, partners in the law firm Pepper Hamilton LLP, will lead the investigation.

The Baylor statement describes the pair as experts in the institutional response to all aspects of sexual misconduct matters.

The attorneys will report their findings to the Baylor University Board of Regents.

NASCAR photo Brad Keselowski - The Miller High Life scheme is a throwback to NASCAR Hall of Famer Bobby Allison’s 1983 championship season.

NBC to celebrate NASCAR’s history at Darlington CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The return of the Southern 500 to Labor Day weekend will be marked by a throwback celebration at Darlington Raceway that will include everything from the retro paint schemes on the track to the actual broadcast booth.

The Southern 500 last ran on the holiday weekend in 2003.

NBC has agreed to be part of the throwback theme, with its on-air talent scheduled to wear 1970’s-style clothing.

The on-screen graphics and music also will be a nod to that era.

The booth also will briefly step back in time, as the regular crew of Rick Allen, Jeff Burton and Steve Letarte will be temporarily replaced in-race

by Hall of Famers Ken Squier, Ned Jarrett and Dale Jarrett.

“To bring (the Southern 500) back on Labor Day, I think this is perhaps one of the best moves that NASCAR has made in a decade,” Squier said in an NBC conference call.

Burton said the entire theme at Darlington leading into Sunday’s race will be a celebration of NASCAR’s history, while analyst Kyle Petty said the throwback paint schemes will educate many younger fans.

“I think a lot of times we all wax nostalgically about things that went on and things that happened, but here’s an opportunity to educate fans,” Petty said.

“When you see that 17 car of Ricky Stenhouse painted up like the old Holman-Moody 17, when you see the 16 car painted up like Tiny Lund and that kid that has just been a fan since 2000 says, ‘Who is Tiny Lund?’

“Then it’s an opportunity to educate fans to the history of the sport.”

Darlington Tires The driver-preferred low-downforce aerodynamic package will again be used at Darlington Raceway, and this time Goodyear will bring a tire better suited for the setup.

Goodyear didn’t have time to produce a softer tire for the July race at Kentucky Speedway, where the low-downforce package was first used.

Despite the drivers not getting a tire they had hoped for, they still raved about the low-downforce package.

The tires for Sunday’s race at Darlington will feature a left-side tire with construction and mold shape changes, and a right-side tire that should create more grip.

Darlington has been tradi-

tionally brutal on tire wear, and former crew chief and current NBC analyst Steve Letarte thinks the product Goodyear is bringing potentially “matches a track perfectly.”

Cobb fined Jennifer Jo Cobb has been fined $7,500 by NASCAR for having a cellphone in her car during practice for last week’s Truck Series race at Canadian Tire Motorsports Park.

The fine for having a phone in her car was a P3 violation and drew a fine of $5,000. But Cobb was fined an additional $2,500 because the infraction happened while she is on probation.

Cobb wrecked in practice last Friday and television cameras caught her reaching back into the truck to grab her phone.

She was already on probation through the end of the year for walking on the track after an accident at Dover in May. Drivers have been prohibited from having phones in their cars since the 2012 season.

Brad Keselowski tweeted photos from inside his car of the fire during the Daytona 500 created when Juan Pablo Montoya hit a jet dryer.

Keselowski was not penalized, but NASCAR reiterat-

Feeling ‘tight,’ Serena Williams moves forward in Slam bid NEW YORK (AP) — The enormity of what is at stake for Serena Williams at the U.S. Open — the first true Grand Slam in tennis in more than a quarter of a century — hit her Wednesday.

That, she said, is why her play was so uneven in the second round at FlushWilliams ing Meadows, despite facing a qualifier ranked only 110th.

And it’s why, after the 10 double-faults, two dozen other unforced errors and an allaround sloppy first set, Williams got pointers from coach Patrick Mouratoglou and headed straight to a practice court to put in work, hoping to repair what plagued her during a 7-6 (5), 6-3 victory over Kiki Bertens of the Netherlands.

“Today, I was a little tight,” Williams said. “I think it showed.”

Sure did. She got broken early. She double-faulted four times — yes, four — in one game. She didn’t manage to earn a break point against the strong-serving Bertens until the 10th game.

Williams trailed 5-3 in the first set, finally broke for 5-all, but then needed to erase a 4-0 defi-

cit in the tiebreaker.

All attributable, at least in part, to thinking about what she is trying to accomplish these two weeks.

She has won the past four major titles, a streak that began at last year’s U.S. Open, and 21 overall. If she can win five more matches at Flushing Meadows — starting in the third round against Bethanie Mattek-Sands in an all-U.S. matchup Friday — Williams would complete the first calendar-year Grand Slam in tennis since Steffi Graf in 1988.

Also on the line for Williams: A 22nd major singles championship would equal Graf for the most in the Open era, which began in 1968, and second-most in history behind Margaret Court’s 24.

Plus, Williams is trying to become the first woman since Chris Evert in 1975-78 to win four consecutive U.S. Opens.

“Right now, she’s on a mission to get a record,” said Mattek-Sands, a 30-year-old wildcard entry, “and I’m here, playing my game.”

Up and down all afternoon in Arthur Ashe Stadium, the No. 1-seeded Williams had trouble finding her game against Bertens, who only once made it as far as the third round in 14 majors.

ed that drivers could not have phones in their car.

He was fined $25,000 when caught with a phone because he again took photos from the car later that year at Phoenix.

INDYCAR-TV Ratings IndyCar is celebrating increased television ratings following Sunday’s season finale at Sonoma Raceway, which was the most-watched IndyCar race ever on NBC Sports Network.

In all, viewership on NBCSN this year was up 34 percent, while overall viewership on among all IndyCar broadcast partners was up 16 percent.

Sunday’s race featured six drivers eligible for the championship, with Scott Dixon winning the race to tie Juan Pablo Montoya in the standings and earn the title on a tie-breaker.

The race averaged 841,000 viewers on NBCSN, with more than 1 million viewers watching the final quarter hour.

It was the most-watched cable telecast of an IndyCar Series race since NBCSN acquired the rights in 2009; it also was the highest cable viewership since the Richmond race on ESPN in 2008.

For the year, IndyCar races averaged 1.144 million viewers.”

Astrograph

Why does a clean car or a certain pair of shoes matter so much? Because the symbols of our lives are important. They say something about who we are and why we do what we do. Under this aesthetically inclined Venus-ruled Taurus moon, it will be bothersome if our symbols don’t accurately reflect our identity -- and mighty satisfying when they do.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.

3). After you’ve said and done what you needed to say and do, you’ll do more. More matters.

Your willingness to go the extra mile is what will form tighter bonds and forge new relation-

ships. November and May are your best months to invest your time and energy in a new business. Wedding bells ring in July. Taurus and Cancer people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 45, 31, 21, 28 and 14.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Things do not always run smoothly for you, but today they run right. You’ll be glad about how it all shakes out. The important part is that you keep believing in the benevolent process of life.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You can’t plan your own delight -- it will happen by surprise. You can, however, put

yourself in circumstances in which you are more likely to be surprised.

made, count yourself among the fortunate. This is going to turn out well for you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Once again, you’ve set your sights on a lofty destination.

Too lofty? No. If your wings can take you there, then it’s not too high for you. You’ll handle this one wing-flap at a time.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Find a new model. The one you’re chasing isn’t worthy.

Whether this is business or personal, the answer is the same.

You’re bringing something unique, and a generic model is never going to encompass all you can do.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

In a sense, you feel that life is scolding you. It’s not. It’s just caring for you the way a good parent does, trying to correct you when you stray slightly from the path.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Mostly the best things are made slowly and painfully. If that’s how you feel your “thing” is being

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The good thing about connecting with people from your past is that they knew you before these trials and victories shaped you.

They help you to meet yourself as you were, which will be interesting for you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Anyone who thinks it’s so easy to sell out isn’t in touch with sales in general. It’s rarely easy to make a sale. There’s work that goes into finding the right product for the market. You’ll do the work and win.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The person who dares to alter the power balance in relationships must be brave, indeed. People hate this. Maybe change is necessary, and if so, go carefully. A power balance is nothing to take lightly.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It will feel like you don’t have any control over the flow of ideas today, and maybe you don’t. The quality of the idea will make itself known over

time. For now, it’s enough just to keep track. Document your mind.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Those who buy tickets to the circus should not be too surprised to find themselves interacting with clowns. This is the day to sit back and enjoy the entertainment.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your tone will make or break your argument today.

Strong messages are best sent with dulcet tones, and weak messages can be made more interesting with emphasis.
