Jasper County treasurer joins Draft Biden effort Newton Daily News

Savannah Eadens/Daily News Linda Deutsch poses with Don Goode dairy stock clerk who delivers grocery orders to customers using Hy-Vee’s new Aisles Online. Deutsch fulfills orders daily that customers can pick up or have delivered to their house.

Hy-Vee’s Aisles Online delivers groceries with a click of a mouse

By Savannah Eadens Newton Daily News Newton Hy-Vee’s new Aisles Online program has every department in the grocery store involved in the process of bringing customer convenience to another level.

Using Aisles Online, customers are able to make their entire grocery order online. All orders are received at the store by Linda Deutsch, Aisles Online and Gar-

den Center manager.

Deutsch uses a hand-held computer to serve as a personal shopper of sorts, walking around Hy-Vee every day, scanning and completing orders made online.

The orders are then stored in bins in the stockrooms and coolers, to keep the food fresh. Customers have the option to pick up their order, or have it delivered to their house.

“It’s really such a time-saving process to have an online store,”

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News After being part of the discussion for the past several months as an aspect of the Crime-Free Multi-Housing program, the city council failed to move forward on a resolution to help fund the program, not getting support to bring it to a motion at its Monday meeting.

The proposed $10 per permit increase would have generated approximately $20,000 to cover the increase of the administrative costs to support the program.

Strong opposition was expressed by area landlords

for the increase in fees at several council meetings and at the two workshops about the program. Many discussed how difficult it would be to pass on the increase and the hardship it would put on already struggling tenants.

With the failure of the resolution, the city will now have to find other resources to fund the new program which is set to start in October.

The council did choose to suspend the rules and waive the second and third readings for two ordinance changes. The first was agreement with the Jasper County Animal Rescue League to sell city animal licenses and not allow an animal to be retrieved until the license and rabies vaccinations have been administered and purchased.

Deutsch said. “It’s an ideal system for the busy mom or even the dad who doesn’t like shopping.”

Deutsch said that although the program is new, having just started Aug. 31, business is picking up quickly.

“I think when the word gets out about what a convenience and time-saver it is, business will really explode,” Deutsch said.

As Vice President Joe Biden continues to give mixed signals about whether he’ll run for president in 2016, s u p port for a Draft Biden organiBishop zation continues to mount.

Jasper County Treasurer Doug Bishop on Tuesday formally announced he is a key supporter of Draft Biden Iowa. He joins State Sen. Chaz Allen (D-Newton) and a list of about 17 other current or former state or county Democrat office holders from around Iowa.

Bishop is also the board president of the Jasper County Economic Development Corporation. He served on the City of Baxter’s

city council for six years and served as mayor there for four years, but he is probably best known in Jasper County as an advocate for veterans. He serves as the chair of the Jasper County Freedom Flight Committee.

“Our VA system is in dire need of attention,” Bishop said in a statement. “I believe that Vice President Biden is the best choice as our Democratic candidate to ensure our nation’s veterans are adequately cared for — not only on the battlefield, but (also) in their home county, once they finish their tour of duty.”

Allen said he’s been told Biden will likely make an announcement in the first week of October.

Draft Biden Iowa State Director Ellen Goodmann Miller called Bishop a strong addition to a growing coalition.

Local Catholics excited for Pope Francis visit to U.S.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

AP Photo Pope Francis looks out from the Hill of the Cross in Holguin, Cuba, Monday. Francis traveled to Cuba’s fourth-largest city, Holguin, to celebrate a Mass at the Plaza of the Revolution, and visit the pilgrimage site, before heading to Santiago de Cuba.

As only the fourth pope to visit the United States, Pope Francis’ visit has Catholics across the country and those in Newton excited about the impact he’ll make. The pope will make stops in Washington, D.C., New York City and Philadelphia during his five day trip beginning Tuesday.

Annual test plots educate farmers, dealers on resistance

By Mike Mendenhall Jasper County Tribune COLFAX — John McLaughlin walks along a wall of corn stalks at his DuPont Pioneer Hybrid test plot at Central Iowa Seeds in Colfax. A group of farmers ranging from their early 30s to early 80s, wearing wangler jeans, T-shirts and billed caps, follow as the seed dealer describes some of the new varieties from hybrid tech’s new lineup for spring planting.

“This is the 1197. Feel how heavy the ears are,” McLaughlin said as he passed around a sample ear. “I’ve notice that with a lot of fields. I think it’s going to be a big player for us. Pretty much everybody has some.”

He continued to a hybrid with a 109 day growth period. McLaughlin said Central Iowa Seed employees sprayed it with fungicide at the V5 growth stage and said “this thing stayed clean forever.”

“Here’s our old reliable, 1151.

It will have a wonderful year this year. It likes water. It can take droughtage, but it likes water too,” he said. “Sometimes the ears aren’t real impressive, but it’s really good, heavy grain. We’ll sell a lot of it. It’s a double.”

The Pioneer Field Day at Central Iowa Seeds’ Colfax test site is a way for the dealer to familiarize with new hybrids and products, but it is also a visual for farmers to educate themselves how different varieties will react in their fields.

McLaughlin said farmers have been dealing with sudden death syndrome in soy beans for many years, but new corn hybrids are being developed to fight northern corn leaf blight. The disease, which is caused by a fungus, has become more prevalent in the corn belt since the mid to late 2000s, according to the University of Purdue’s Botany and Plant Pathology department. McLaughlin said the pathogen can cause yield loss in the reproductive or tasseling stage.

“Sudden Death has been around for quite a while. Northern corn leaf blight has been around for a couple years,” he said. “And it

DuPont Pioneer, along with many local Co-ops and competitors, use seed plots in the fall to show local farmers how new seed products will fair in the field against sudden death, fungus and blight before spring planting.

hasn’t been just northern corn leaf blight, but that’s been the major one this year. There is a lot of gray leaf spot and anthracnose.”

With a corn suitability rating in the 90s and the best tech at his disposable, McLaughlin’s test plot is clean with little disease. Although the seed dealer said the test plot benefits his ability to sell hybrids — allowing him to explain a variety’s growth process, resistance and yield potential — he said the event is a good way to give farmers a visual representation of the hybrid number issued by Pioneer.

Row crop farmers John Brandhof and his son Austin Brandhof relaxed at a table between the grill and the test field at the Sept. 10 event. They plant their own test plot on their Mitchellville operation just six miles west of Prairie City. The Brandhofs coordinate re-

sults with McLaughlin to see how the newly released hybrids perform in lower CSRs and different soil types. They said northern blight is a definite concern for area farmers as they prepare to enter the fields over the next two to three months.

Austin Brandhof said an unpredictability in climate trends the past several season has affected the sudden death and blight.

“The weather and climate patterns have a lot to do with it too,” he said. “The weather conditions have been unsteady.”

John Brandhof added, “We never had the big heavy five-inch rains here that were received elsewhere.

But if you go north or you go south, they had those rains. Around here we have a really good crop coming on.”

Local & State News Council Continued from Page 1A The review was made in response to several incidents in which animals were picked up by JCARL but were not licensed, City Administrator Bob Knabel said in his council report. The animal owners would retrieve their animal and be advised of the need to license it, but many of the animals were subsequently never licensed and their proof of rabies shots never verified.

Following the adoption of the ordinance, the animals will not be allowed to leave without proof of licensing and a rabies shot or having those purchased and administered.

A local veterinarian has agreed to provide the vaccinations on site.

The cost of the license, vaccination and impound fees will be the responsibility of the animal owner.

“This was a recommendation of the committee that reviewed the animal ordinances.

rescue league to agree to do this. This has been a gap in the process,” said council member Evelyn George.

Also adopted through waiving the second and third readings was an ordinance to eliminate parking meters in downtown Newton. Currently, the city has five metered parking lots that contain 248 meters with an additional 12 meters situated around the square.

In a survey conducted in July, 80 percent of the respondents said they were in favor of removing the meters from all five city owned parking lots and making the lots free for public parking with a 72-hour limit.

It is hoped with the removal of the meters, the downtown area will become more inviting to businesses customers and visitors to the community and allow for a better parking alternatives for downtown business owners and employees.

Presently, 60 of the parking meters in use are malfunctioning or are broken beyond repair, Knabel said. Estimates to repair or replace the existing inoperable meters would cost

approximately $27,000.

A May usage audit of the metered lots showed that on average only 28 percent of the available capacity was used.

With the removal of the meters, it eliminates the need for parking permits and lease fees for private businesses who lease portions of the lots.

The city will refund all current parking permits, a total of $3,000, and begin removal and selling of old meters.

As a result of the elimination of the meters, lease fees and permits, the city will have an estimated annual revenue loss of $25,000.

Also affected is the parking enforcement attendant’s position. The position will be retained and continue the duties of enforcing the three hour parking ordinance. New responsibilities may include assisting with enforcing the animal ordinance, filing, data entry, selling and processing of animal licenses, city-wide parking enforcement, picking up found bikes, traffic direction, motorist assists, department tours, community policing activities and other similar duties.

“I picked Linda to be in charge of Aisles Online due to her personality and thoroughness.

I knew that she would pick the highest quality of items for our customers,” Fox said. “Our biggest concern is that customers are very particular about what they want and I knew that Linda would do a good job in picking the products that the customers would choose for themselves.”

Once the program takes off, Fox said they should have about six employees working with Aisles Online.

“Based on the responses so far, I expect business to at least dou-

ble, if not triple in the amount of orders,” Fox said.

Many departments are involved in the selection and delivery process of Aisles Online. Deutsch said a lot of customers have thanked them for the service offered.

“Our motto at HyVee is to make life easier, happier and healthier for our customers,” Deutsch said. “And it’s just a new way that Hy-Vee is satisfying needs, because grocery shopping can demand a lot of time from people.”

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The Jasper County Animal Rescue League will now partner with the city to make sure all animals that a retrieved are licensed and have their rabies shot before they are allowed to leave the facility.

“This is an issue I have heard about a lot, in my household there are a lot of concerns about parking downtown and I know a lot of the local business owners get frustrated with the parking situation,” council member Noreen Otto said. “I hope that eliminating the parking meters encourages employees in the downtown area to make room for folks who are coming in and out and patronizing these businesses.”

Keeping Me on My Toes

Under the lights

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Sept. 22, 2015

Home sweet home. That is how it felt as I walked through the gates at Kinnick Stadium Saturday. For the first time since 2012, the Hawkeyes were hosting a night game under the lights, and it couldn’t have been ended any better.

I have had season tickets since my freshman year at Iowa and have attended many football games. When I was in school, and for the first few years after I got married, my husband and I attended almost every game.

Since having to become more of an adult and with the introduction of two kiddos, I don’t quite make it Kinnick as much as I once did. My usual seven Saturdays spent in Iowa City now tends to be closer to three or four depending on the year (much to the benefit of friends and family that get to take my place).

This year, I didn’t get to go to the home opener because of previous obligations, ugh, adult life. So my first game happened to fall on the first night game in what seemed like forever.

It had become the norm to have a night game a year. It was a day for extra tailgating and late nights that hopefully end with a happy drive home instead of a long 150 miles of thinking of what could have been.

Saturday, we dropped off the kids with my in-laws and made our trek down Interstate 80 to one of my favorite places to spend a Saturday in the fall.

We had to stop by Coralville first and get some new gear, especially because it was Black and Gold day and we, of course, always fall in a gold section, which is not a color we tend to wear regularly.

We made our way to Hancher where we park and found our first tailgate to crash. I really appreciate all of those who put in the work to make the food, set up the tents and bring drinks to the tailgate. We are definitely not those people, but do try to pay it back a little with generous gifts of beverages for those 21 and older.

My husband has some friends from home that also have season tickets, so we swing

by there for a few games of bags and some tasty treats. Then, we head to the secret parking lot where his family sets up and indulges in everything great. Saturday’s special was a brownie, Oreo and cookie dough bar that tasted as good as it sounds.

About an hour before kick off, we headed across Highway 6, through the parking lot, up the hill and arrived at the stadium. After showing our tickets, we were greeted with girls handing out Iowa’s version of the terrible towel in honor of the 30th anniversary of America Needs Farmers.

Like I said earlier, I have been to a lot of games, but this one was probably about the most emotional. The honorary captain was former player Brett Greenwood, who four years ago collapsed from a heart arrhythmia which caused serious neurological injuries. He was assisted

by Pat Angerer, another former player and strength and conditioning coach Chris Doyle as he lead the team onto the field, the first time they had ever walked out in the swarm formation.

As you may or may not know, the game was pretty great. Iowa seemed to be in charge most of the game, but with a late surge

by Pittsburgh, it was tied with two seconds left. That led to what is always an awesome ending, a game-winning field goal.

Since I was in attendance when Iowa beat then third ranked Penn State on a game-winning field goal, this one will probably rank second in that category. But after a disappointing season last year and being 3-0, it still felt awesome to see that ball go through the uprights and not have to endure overtime.

I only get to go to Kinnick two more times this year with a trip to Wisconsin thrown in as an anniversary getaway. I love watching the Hawkeyes anytime they are on, but nothing beats sitting with 70,000 at “home.”

P.S. Happy 8th Anniversary Hubby!

Homegrown fuel is good for Iowa Iowa has a generous supply of energy producing resources. In addition to wind and our emerging solar industry, Iowa is a leader in homegrown biofuels, which expand markets for farmers, support rural jobs and economies, give drivers choices at the pump and reduce our reliance By Chaz Allen on foreign oil.

Iowa Senator This year, the Legislature voted to continue promoting the production and use of ethanol and other Iowa-grown motor vehicle fuels by keeping their price down (SF 257). We also voted to generate more locally produced energy by allowing yard waste disposal in

landfills with methane collection systems (HF 266).

Now Iowa is receiving a competitive grant from the United States Department of Agriculture to add 100 new fueling sites across the state to provide Iowa drivers with access to higher blends of ethanol. This funding will allow the Iowa Department of Agriculture to expand its Renewable Fuels Infrastructure Program, which provides grants to help fueling stations upgrade their equipment to dispense renewable fuels.

At the same time, Iowa is encouraging the federal government to continue its support for the Renewable Fuels Standard.

The federal RFS ensures transportation fuel contains a minimum amount of renewable fuel.

This has helped create a healthy rural economy by providing

more opportunities for farmers to sell their agricultural commodities.

However, proposed changes by the Environmental Protection Agency could limit further growth of Iowa jobs and our economy by lowering the required volumes of renewables in motor fuel. That’s why I joined my legislative colleagues this year in unanimously supporting a resolution calling for the EPA to reconsider its rule change.

The EPA is expected to take final action on its new RFS rules by the end of November.

To learn more about the RFS and to review the EPA’s proposed changes, go to www.epa. gov/otaq/fuels/renewablefuels.

Letters to the Editor

Willowbrook is a community treasure Lou Ann Hill Newton I was first aware of Willowbrook (formerly Willis Adult Day Center) when it was located in the Meisner Center.

I worked upstairs at that location and always marveled at the great things that they did. We were usually treated to some of the wonderful baked goods that were made by the staff and clients.

Fifteen years ago my mother had a difficult surgery and was hospitalized for five weeks. She

stayed at my home while she was doing some additional recovery. Since my husband and I worked full-time we were worried about her being alone and safe during the daytime.

Willowbrook was our answer.

She received physical therapy, medication monitoring and socialization. Socialization was important as she was not from Newton. She went on field trips and did many other activities that we would not have been able to do with her. After she was in her own apartment, she continued to go to Willowbrook. It had become “her club” and she loved participating in all the ac-

tivities two days a week. Because of their scholarship program my mother was able to continue to attend Willowbrook.

Willowbrook has always been a well kept secret in our community. It serves many clients with various needs and for various reasons. Willowbrook is having a 5K Wind Up to Willowbrook Charity Walk/ Run on Oct. 10 to support its scholarship program. They would love to have you participate.

In Missouri, a female snake in captivity has given birth without the assistance of a male snake.

She did it last year, t o o .

T h e snake, w h o lives alone a n d s e e m s By Marc Dion to have n o name, is a yellow-bellied water snake.

I grew up in Missouri, and I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a yellow-bellied water snake. Like most of my friends and neighbors, I killed every snake I saw, long before the snake and I got a chance to show each other our bellies. We operated on the theology that a snake couldn’t poison you if it had been beaten into a wet spot on the grass. Living among rattlesnakes does not make you fond of taking chances.

Now, virgin birth among snakes? Caitlyn Jenner? Donald Trump’s hair? Surely this is the End of Days.

Still, the world’s been ending since it was born and will probably be ending for some time to come.

Science can explain everything. Caitlyn Jenner? A bustier and eye makeup. Donald Trump’s hair? A comb and hair spray.

I’m no scientist but, if you’ll pardon a country solution to a complex problem, I think the virgin snake birth is easier to explain than you might think. I have, as they say, been around.

My old buddy Renaldo had the same problem with his daughter Katie, who started looking suspiciously fleshy about the middle of last fall. Being possessed of certain Old Country ways, Renaldo watched Katie like your dog watches every fork-

ful of steak you put in your mouth.

The kid was homeschooled, fed on pages from the Bible, accompanied by her mother even unto the mall. Yea, verily.

The questions were put to the sobbing teenager: How? When? Who? Renaldo thundered in two languages. Her mother wept in two languages. Her wrinkled old grandmother called the kid un-nice names in two languages.

Of course, the truth came out, as it will when thundering, weeping and un-nice names form an unholy trinity. The kid talked.

A boy who skateboarded on the sidewalk in front of their modest home. He gave her some talk; sweet words; the gift of a teddy bear in a Dallas Cowboys t-shirt.

He was a handsome, thin-faced boy with a struggling goatee.

The thing itself, the act of darkness, occurred in their own bit-of-America backyard, by night, near the shed where Renaldo keeps his lawnmower. Katie went out her window to meet the struggling goatee and her sad fate. The act of sin did not take long.

There is a child now.

Struggling goatee does not come around. The court rides him for child support he cannot pay.

The scientists say virgin birth has been known among snakes, but I believe that’s what the snake has learned to tell thundering father snakes and inquisitive zookeepers. Somewhere, there is a male yellow-bellied water snake, probably whip-thin and weedy, who has a guilty secret and who has slithered into a zoo he should never have visited.

Love (or its quick counterfeit) always finds a way.

Woman in toxic relationship will need cousin’s support DEAR ABBY: I have a very close cousin (and friend) who is in a toxic relationship with a man who breaks up with her repeatedly, manipulates and abuses her emotionally, and probably cheats. It has made me sad to see her go through the same pattern with him for so many years.

They were supposed to be married soon, but are having the same problems again. She’s unsure what steps to take, even though family and friends are advising her against marrying him. I don’t support the idea either, but I don’t want to create a rift with my cousin.

If the wedding takes place, can I decline to be part of the wedding party? Is there anything I can do to make her “see the light”? It’s hard to watch a good person go through this. I know it’s her choice, but it’s wearing on our relationship as well. — CONCERNED COUSIN IN WYOMING DEAR COUSIN: Have you been asked to be in the wedding party? If it hasn’t happened yet, you may be putting the cart before the horse.

Because you haven’t been able to get your cousin to see the light before this, I doubt anything you can say will accomplish it now because love is blind and often deaf. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t tell her you think she deserves better than what she’s getting, and that it pains you to see her hurt the way she has been. However, at the same time, let her know that whatever she decides, you love and support her and will be there for her, because if he actually marries her — which he may not — she’s going to need it.

DEAR ABBY: I recently started a new job, and the past three months have been wonderful! One co-worker in particular has contributed to that.

He’s a tall, handsome man with a great personality. We get along wonderfully, socialize outside of work, and we flirt ... a lot. We have briefly talked about being friends with benefits, but I’m not

sure how I feel about it. I have never been FWB with anyone before, and I am very nervous about the possible downside.

I am very attracted to this co-worker, but I also consider him a great friend who could potentially someday be even more than a friend. I am scared that being FWBs would ruin our friendship and any possible future we may have. Should I accept being an FWB and enjoy it while it lasts, or decline and explain to him why? — FRIENDS WITHOUT BENEFITS IN VIRGINIA DEAR FRIENDS: If I were you, I’d enjoy the flirtation for as long as it lasts and pass on being his FWB. While “friends with benefits” may seem enticing, what it really stands for is “sex without commitment or responsibility,” and in the majority of instances it leads to — nothing. Couple that with the fact that if you do, and someone else attracts his attention, you will not only have to cope with hurt feelings, but also the embarrassment of still having to work with him. So start thinking with your head, and don’t do anything you might later regret.

TO MY JEWISH READERS: Tonight at sundown, Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, begins. It’s a day of fasting, reflection, prayer and repentance. To all of you, may your fast be an easy one.

Solar panels help power Dubuque gasoline stations DUBUQUE — The owner of two Dubuque gasoline stations is using solar panels to power his businesses.

Dozens of panels are helping power the gas stations and convenience stores owned

Monday morning collision

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News A Dodge van, driven by Julie A. Williams of Newton, ran a stop sign while westbound on South Eighth Avenue East at about 10:45 a.m. Monday, and was struck by a Toyota Camry, which was northbound on East 12th Street South, according to Newton police. The driver of the Camry, Amanda C. Bristow of Pella, was taken to Skiff Medical Center for evaluation after complaining of rib pain. The Newton Police Department said a citation is pending.

New cable barriers on Iowa highways help reduce fatalities OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An effort to build cable barriers on Iowa’s Interstates has helped reduce the number of cross-median fatal crashes.

After 21 people died as a result of cross-median collisions in 2010, state officials installed 177 additional miles of cable median barriers. Since then, Iowa has seen fewer cross-median fatalities, dropping from nine in 2011 to six in 2014.

“We’re averaging now, for the past couple of years, between six and seven fatalities a year on the Interstate as a whole” from cross-median collisions, said Chris Poole, a safety programs engineer with the Iowa Department of Transportation.

He said the state averaged 16 cross-median fatalities each year prior to 2011, when the cable barriers were installed.

Although officials in Nebraska don’t have plans to follow Iowa’s lead, some experts believe the effort also could work for Nebraska.

Jim Knott, the roadway design engineer with the Nebraska Department of Roads, said the state has wider medians that help prevent such crashes.

Review damaged three Iowa patrolmen’s reputations, attorney says The Associated Press IOWA CITY — A tightly-guarded disciplinary investigation that ultimately exonerated three veteran, high-ranking Iowa State Patrol officials “ruined their reputations for no good reason,” one of their lawyers says.

The Iowa Department of Public Safety announced in April that Maj. Mike Winter, Maj. Todd Misel and Lt. Richard Pierce were on leave, pending an investigation into allegations of wrongdoing in the procurement of new handguns for state police officers. But in June, the department said further investigation found no crimes or violations of department policy and allowed the three to return to work.

Department officials have never said publicly what the three were accused of doing or released any investigation findings. And the department has withheld from Winter’s attorney, Doug Gross, the complaint and investigative report that led to his client’s 53-day removal from duty, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press through an open-records request.

In his first interview about the case Friday, Gross said he would keep pushing for access to the documents. He said he

may consider additional efforts to force the state to reimburse $7,200 in legal fees that Winter, a 31-year department veteran, spent defending against the investigation.

“I’m just trying to get a copy of the file to find out what the heck precipitated this investigation for suspending these guys and ruining their reputations for no good reason,” he said. “These are outstanding people that have the finest and highest reputations, a huge commitment to the state and organization, and they are besmirching them right before the ends of their careers. It’s sad.”

Misel’s attorney, Jeffrey Boehlert, added in a statement Monday that his client “is a really good man who was unnecessarily subjected to unfounded, hurtful insinuations.”

The investigation stemmed from department’s selection of Smith & Wesson to supply handguns after an unusual and lengthy bidding process. Nearly 800 weapons were purchased, then returned after testing revealed safety concerns.

Winter was accused of violations such as fraud, conspiracy and misconduct in office when he was placed on leave — allegations that turned out to be unfounded, the newly released records show. The specifics are unclear.

WDM police no closer to arrest in Okland case

By MacKenzie Elmer West Des Moines police say they are no closer today to solving the mysterious slaying of Ashley Okland, a 27-year-old real estate agent whose shooting death four years ago in a model townhouse made national news.

Police Sgt. Brent Kock said the case is still considered an “active investigation,” and the department continues to follow up on leads from citizens and the anonymous crime tip line.

But police have received few leads s i n c e The Des Moines Register reported in April Okland 2 0 1 4 that detectives had followed up on 781 leads and interviewed about 400 people in the slaying.

“I’m disappointed that nothing has happened,” said Tim Okland, Ashley’s fa-

Continued from Page 1A Pope Francis lands in Washington D.C. Tuesday evening and begins activities on Wednesday including a visit to the White House where he will meet with President Barack Obama.

“It’s exciting. It doesn’t happen very often and certainly with a relatively new pope and the changes that have occurred over the past few years, it is wonderful to get the opportunity to see and share with Pope Francis what is going on in the United States,” Sacred Heart Catholic Church member Marty Stratton said.

On Thursday, Pope Francis will give a speech to the Senate and House of Representatives in a joint session of Congress. He will be the first pope in history to ever address Congress.

“I think it is wonderful that he is coming. I think it’s great that he is going to talk with Congress,” said Shirley Dont, another member of Sacred Heart Catholic Church. “I really like that he is non-judgmental, he is open to all people, he has special concern for the oppressed, the poor people, anybody that is not necessarily looked up on very well. He really cares about these people. I really

Okland was an employee of Iowa Realty Co. and grew up in Huxley. Those who knew her said she had no enemies and was known for her radiant smile and outgoing nature.

On April 8, 2011, a Rottlund Homes employee heard a commotion inside the model townhouse at 558 Stone Creek Court and went to investigate, according to IowaColdCases.

org. Inside, the worker discovered Okland on the floor, shot twice, and called 911.

Medics rushed her to the Iowa Methodist Medical Center in Des Moines, where she later died.

In October 2014, West Des Moines police thought a man being investigated in Arkansas for killing a real-estate agent near Little Rock might be connected to Okland’s slaying.

Des Moines area churches to host prayer vigil, watch parties The Catholic Diocese of Des Moines and Iowa Interfaith Power & Light will sponsor a prayer vigil at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at Holy Trinity Church, 2929 Beaver Ave., in Des Moines.

Two watch parties, hosted by the Des Moines Interfaith Green Coalition and the St. Pius Social Justice Committee, are scheduled to view the Pope’s address to Congress on Thursday. The live watch party is at 8 a.m. at Immanuel United Methodist Church, 2900 49th St. in Des Moines. A rebroadcast and discussion will take place at 6:30 p.m. the same day at St. Pius X Catholic Church, 3663 66th St. in Urbandale.

like the fact that he seems to be so human.”

Friday, Pope Francis will head to New York City where he will perform a multi-religious service at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum and take part in a papal motorcade through Central Park.

His visit concludes with a Mass at Madison Square Garden.

During his first day in Philadelphia, Pope Francis will visit the Festival of Families and attend a prayer vigil with World Meeting of Families. The following day he with meet again with organizers, volunteers and benefactors of the World Meeting of Families among other events.

“With Pope Francis’ visit, we see just how important the family is to him since he is coming

to take part in the world’s largest gathering of Catholic families, known as The World Meeting of Families Conference,” director of Lifelong Faith Formation at Sacred Heart Luke Gregory said.

“With Pope Francis’ visit to the United States, I think that U.S. Catholics will be given a sense of renewal, a renewal of hope. I believe that, as a result of the Pope’s visit, this rekindling of hope will give Catholics in America the desire and motivation to step up and make a difference in our society, to be the voice for the voiceless as well as a testament to the beauty of traditional marriage.”

Newton JV volleyball claims second at PCM tourney

This & That

Cy-Hawk fans are at much opposite ends of spectrum

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News MONROE — With a threeset win over Prairie City-Monroe, Newton High’s Cardinals captured second place at the PCM junior varsity volleyball tournament Monday.

The Cardinals lost their opener to Pella in three sets. Pella rallied to win 12-15, 15-11, 15-11. Newton regrouped to down Knoxville 1512, 15-6.

Newton defeated PCM 15-11, 7-15, 15-10. “ We lost the first match with Pella because of lack of communication on the court,” Newton assistant coach Kristina McKnew said. “ The girls communicated much better in the next two matches, and they won.”

McKnew said the Cardinals played more aggressively on the court against Knoxville and PCM. They did the little things well, she said.

Newton travels to Grimes Tuesday to play Dallas Center-Grimes in Little Hawkeye Conference action.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Harlie Durr (4) reaches to tip the ball at the net in a home match earlier this season. Monday, the Newton junior varsity finished second in a tournament in Monroe.

Cardinal freshmen keep working on fundamentals

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SAYDEL — Arieal Lum got up at the net and recorded a solo block to put a charge in Newton High’s Cardinal freshmen. The Cardinals did not win, but had some strong play in their two matches at the Saydel freshman volleyball tournament Monday.

Lum’s block came against North Polk in Newton’s second match of the night.

North Polk defeated Newton 21-7, 21-15. Brittney McConnell downed a kill.

Kyleigh Stevenson made two digs. Jazmin Chance and Hannah Edwards each Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News served an ace.

Newton freshman Hannah Edwards digs the ball at a home match earliIn the first match of the er this season. The freshmen played at Saydel Monday.

night, Nevada beat Newton 21-6, 21-4. Stevenson had a kill and McConnell served an ace. For the two matches, Newton was 19-of-32 serving.

“The girls are working hard and improving, but it comes down to the fundamentals,” Newton freshman head coach Michaela Wood said. “We aren’t doing the little things to succeed, and that is what it comes down to. We will travel to DCG tomorrow night looking to keep improving.”

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High sophomore Jaron Roush (28) puts an arm out to get past a Benton defender in Monday’s junior varsity game. In a high-scoring affair, Benton pulled out a 41-35 win over the Cardinals at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

Both Iowa and Iowa State have played three football games. And the fan bases couldn’t be further apart from each other.

Hawkeye fans are feeling pretty good about their squad. Iowa is 3-0 for the first time since 2009, which was the season Iowa played in and won the Orange By Troy Hyde Newton Daily Bowl.

News And with North Texas Sports Writer coming to town Saturday, Iowa is as good as 4-0.

North Texas lost by 30 to Rice this past Saturday, and former Hawkeye assistant coach and Iowa State head coach Dan McCarney is 0-2 so far this year.

Iowa State fans, according to emails I read on Channel 13’s Sound Off, are ready to be done with Paul Rhoads after another punch to the gut Saturday.

The Cyclones were a 32-yard game-winning field goal away from being 2-1, but instead are 1-2 after Cole Netten missed the kick and the Cyclones were defeated in overtime to Toledo.

Iowa fans are happy with Kirk Ferentz 2.0. There is significant evidence that Ferentz has indeed changed a few things this year.

The Hawkeyes went for a field goal fake in back-to-back games to start the season. And Saturday, against Pittsburgh, he elected to try to win the game with 44 seconds to play instead of taking a knee and playing for overtime.

That may have been the No. 1 thing fans that were losing interest in the program were looking for. Will Kirk Ferentz ever change?

It’s a small sample size, but he appears to be at least open to doing things a bit differently than he has in previous years.

And this year’s team resembles some of Ferentz’s better teams. They are physical, have strong players on both sides of the line and the defense has two stars in Desmond King and Drew Ott. The Cyclones defeated Northern Iowa handily in their opening game. They also were tied with Iowa at Jack Trice Stadium with three minutes to play and should have beaten a good Toledo team on the road this past weekend.

But, Cyclone fans are growing tired of coming close only to fail.

They want to see results.

Rhoads is a good guy, an Iowa guy. There are lots of people who want him to succeed. But results are results.

He won five games the past two seasons, and a pessimistic fan doesn’t see many more wins on the schedule this year.

The good news is, Kansas is coming to town after a bye week. The Jayhawks are regarded as one of the worst teams in the nation.

The season is young but both Iowa and Iowa State are starting to get a feel of what they have.

Iowa fans have solid reasons to feel good about a season that could end at 9-3 or better.

Iowa State fans are used to what they are feeling. They just hoped this year was going to be different.

Hamlin earn wins in opener to Chase playoffs JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — Denny Hamlin vowed to make it to the championship round of NASCAR’s playoffs, and nothing so far is getting in his way.

Not a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered playing basketball just days before the regular-season finale.

Not a horrible day of practice that resulted in an awful starting position for the opening round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Not a spin Sunday two laps into the race that dropped him to last in the field at Chicagoland Speedway and one lap down from the leaders.

Hamlin stepped up and once again showed his resilience by rallying for a surprise victory in the first race of the 10-race Chase. The win for

Joe Gibbs Racing — a heavy favorite to win the championship — earned Hamlin an automatic berth into the second round of the playoffs.

“Go have some fun the next two weeks, that’s for sure.

Takes some pressure off of us,” Hamlin said about his strategy for the next two weeks.

It was a decidedly different mood for reigning champion Kevin Harvick, who vowed four days ago not to be intimidated by JGR’s recent muscle and said “we’re going to pound them into the ground” during the Chase.

Instead, contact with Jimmie Johnson on a restart caused a tire rub on Harvick’s car. He thought the issue had fixed itself, but his left rear tire blew two laps later and he was in the wall.

Harvick drove the car to the garage for repairs, and his anger toward Johnson was evident as headed back on the track — his finger pointed out his window at Johnson’s crew — 57 laps off the pace and second-to-last in the field.

Johnson went to Harvick’s motorhome after the race to speak to Harvick, but Harvick walked out of the bus and shoved Johnson in the chest with a closed fist.

Harvick is last in the 16-driver field, and four drivers will be cut from the Chase in two weeks.

Asked what he needs to do to stay in contention, he was blunt: “we’ve just got to go win one of these next two races.”

He felt that Johnson had no regard for his position on the race track during the restart

Harvick on ropes after crash, confrontation with Johnson JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — Nonplussed by Joe Gibbs Racing’s red-hot ride into NASCAR’s playoffs, Kevin Harvick confidently predicted they wouldn’t get in his way of a second consecutive championship.

“We’re going to pound them into the ground,” Harvick said of Harvick JGR’s four-car title push.

Instead, it’s Harvick who is on the ropes after the opening race of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Contact with Jimmie Johnson led to a blown Johnson tire for Harvick that caused him to crash and finish 42nd Sunday at Chicagoland Speedway, where he had a brief post-race scuffle with Johnson.

He felt that Johnson had no regard for his position on the race track during the restart when Harvick was third and Johnson was fourth.

“I just held my ground and he just slammed into my door like I

wasn’t even there,” Harvick said.

Denny Hamlin, meanwhile, won the race for Gibbs and earned an automatic berth into the second round of the playoffs.

Hamlin declined to comment on the irony of Harvick’s situation.

“I’m not going to get into a verbal thing,” he said. “We’re one race in. It didn’t work out well for him today.”

No, it didn’t, and Harvick is last in the 16-driver Chase field with two races before four drivers are eliminated. He minced no words when asked what he needs to do either next week at New Hampshire or Oct. 4 at Dover.

“We’ve just got to go win one of these next two races,” Harvick said.

He has one career victory, in 2006, at New Hampshire and is winless at Dover. But he led 163 laps at the last two New Hampshire races and earned a pair of third-place finishes, and he led 314 laps in the last two Dover races and was second in June.

“This Chase, the way it is, it can be taken away from you in a week, it doesn’t matter if it’s the first week or last week,” said Harvick crew chief Rodney Childers. “You just have to go race the next two and see how it works out and go from there.”

Johnson’s version was that he got a push from behind from Joey Logano that sent him down to the apron.

As he tried to get back on the track, he made contact with Harvick.

JGR has won three consecutive Sprint Cup races, and celebrated an Xfinity Series victory Saturday with Kyle Busch.

Carl Edwards rallied from a speeding penalty to finish second and give JGR and Toyota a 1-2 finish.

Kurt Busch was third, Ryan Newman was fourth and Kenseth was fifth to give JGR three drivers in the top-five.

Johnson finished 11th and Gordon, second on the final restart, faded to 14th over the final five laps.

Lynnville-Sully girls capture home meet title Mustang, Tigerhawk and Hawk runners compete on Diamond Trail

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News LYNNVILLE — Diamond Trail Golf Course presents a challenging cross country course for all runners, including host Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks.

Weather forced Lynnville-S ully to postpone its invitationHostetter al meet last T h u r s d a y, moving it to Monday.

“Even with just five high school teams, we were challenged by good competition as well as the race course itself,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Darin Arkema said.

“Our home meet course is tough. There is just no way of setting up the running route and avoiding the hills out on our golf course.”

The two runners who met the challenge the best were Class 1A girls’ 10th-ranked Dakota Hostetter of Colfax-Mingo and Southeast Warren’s Bryant Seuferer. The two won the individual championships for the high school girls and boys divisions.

Hostetter ran the 5K race in 22 minutes, 37 seconds for the girls’ top medal. Seuferer claimed the top medal for the boys’ 5K race in 18:23. There were 20 medals awarded in each division.

Lynnville-Sully’s girls placed three runners in the top seven to edge out Prairie City-Monroe for the team title, 54 to 57. Pella Christian was third with 70 points, and Colfax-Mingo was fourth with 85 points.

Southeast Warren and Pella Christian each scored 41 points to share the top team honors. PCM ended up third with 52 points followed by Lynnville-Sully with 116 and Colfax-Mingo with 166.

“This could possibly be the hardest course we run on this year. Both sides had some incredible performances,” PCM head coach Eric Karr said.

“One thing I really want the team to take away from this is that times are not the most important thing in a cross country race. Places are the most important thing. We are about a month out from state qualifying, and I’m really happy with where we are at as a team.”

In the boys’ race, it was the first time this season Lynnville-Sully had five runners at the starting line. Arkema said Kyle Kramer, Jared Basset and Caleb Jansen were late joiners

Troy Hyde/Daily News Kasiah Ehresman’s seventh-place finish on her home course helped Lynnville-Sully’s girls claim the team title Monday at the Lynnville-Sully Invitational cross country meet on Diamond Trail Golf Course in Lynnville.

to the team and finally got through enough practices and workouts to be ready for their first race.

Lynnville-Sully’s Canyon Kuhlmann led the area boys in the race, finishing second in 19:01 followed by five PCM runners. Chris Ellens ran third in 19:12 with teammates Trent Howard and Blake Lee in ninth and 10th, respectively, in 21:16 and 21:17.

Noah Henkenius finished 14th in 21:31 and Brady North was 16th in 21:41 for the Mustangs. Lynnville-Sully’s Lucas Jones captured the 19th-place medal in 22:26.

“Canyon raced out to the early lead. I think he was excited for the home meet his senior year, but this type of course can make you pay later in the race if you expend to much energy early on,” Arkema said. “We will continue to work on race strategy and running more evenly.”

Arkema said Jones ran well and Kramer, who was 26th in 23:36, ran a smart race in his first competition. Kramer passed several runners over the last two miles of the race.

The top runner for Colfax-Mingo was Cauy Furgison in 22nd in 22:49. Nic Duffy finished 31st in 24:30.

“This was certainly one of the toughest courses we will see this season and our times reflected that fact,” Colfax-Mingo head coach Zach

Tomas said. “We also realize you are not going to PR every meet, and this season is full of ups and downs.”

Colfax-Mingo’s Dakota Hostetter had a strong race on Diamond Trail, winning the race. PCM’s Jayci Vos paced her team with a third-place finish in 23:49. Thirteen area runners earned medals in the girls’ race.

The Hawk girls took their coach’s pre-race talk to heart and ran well on their home course for the team title.

“I told them I didn’t think there was a team here they couldn’t run with and beat as a team. Knowing previous meet results, I just felt our girls could compete to win the meet, but it was going to take a great effort,” Arkema said.

Marissa Vos led a 4-6-7 finish by the Lynnville-Sully girls. Marissa Vos posted a fourth-place time of 24:12 with Ida Byggeth in sixth at 25:32 and Kasiah Ehresman in seventh at 25:54.

Arkema pointed to Ehresman as key to the Hawk girls’ team victory. He said he challenged Ehresman to race tough and close the gap between herself and Byggeth.

“Initially she was holding back, but after a half mile, she broke out of her comfort zone and went for it. I know the race hurt a lot more for her tonight than it has, but she proved to herself her capabil-

ities. If she finishes where she had been coming in, the girls don’t win,” Arkema said.

PCM’s Megan Townley crossed the finish line in ninth with a time of 26:16 followed by teammate Payton Schut in 13th in 26:48. Colfax-Mingo’s Illia Hostetter claimed 14th in 26:57.

PCM’s Rachel Stafford and Lynnville-Sully’s Haley James battled right at the finish line. Stafford edging James as they went 15th and 16th in 26:58.05 and 26:58.56. Morgan Novak of PCM placed 17th in 27:74 followed by Colfax-Mingo’s Colleen Craig in 27:51 for 18th and PCM’s Morgan Uhlenhopp in 19th at 28:05.

Karr said PCM’s Townley for the girls and Howard for the boy had great races.

Other finishers for the PCM boys were: 24. Bradley McClellan, 23:25, 27. Mark Bruxvoort, 23:39, 28. Caleb Peter, 23:45, 29. Andres Vargas, 23:46, 30.

The Hawks came up on the short end of a 25-10, 25-18, 25-20 decision against their hosts, the Warhawks in South Iowa Cedar League play.

“We just struggled as a team to hit the ball hard and score,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Heather James said. “We get into long volleys, but we just need to put the ball away better. We didn’t communicate the best, and we really just need to work better as a team.”

Brenna Lanser delivered 10 kills at the net for the Hawks and was credited with 25 digs. Skyler Young had nine set assists and 12 digs. Makenzy Rozendaal and Olivia Ritter each had four kills. Shelby Foster had one kill.

Foster also had 20 digs while Kristen Van Der Wilt had 12 digs. Camryn Russell came up with eight digs.

From the service line, Young was 10-of-10 with three ace serves and Rozendaal went 9-of-10. Russell was 8-of-9 serving.

North Mahaska won the junior varsity match 25-18, 25-17. McKinley Conover was 7-of-7 serving with one ace and had nine digs for Lynnville-Sully. Shiloh Cunnigham had two kills as did Taya Meyer. Meyer had four digs.

In the freshman/sophomore match, Lynnville-Sully won the first set 21-3 and lost the second set 21-15. Kaylee Maasdam went 14-of-14 serving with four aces. Kayla Van Dyke had four aces while going 7-of-7 serving and Mariah Vos was 5-of-5 with two aces serves. Andrea Bogaard had three kills and Van Dyke had one kill.

Lynnville-Sully is 6-6 overall and 3-2 in SICL play. The Hawks host Belle Plaine in conference action Monday.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Hope for the best, and don’t fear anything less than that.

Fear of mistakes only creates more of them. Besides, falling brings opportunity, too. Getting up after the fall -- that’s the very best time to shine.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

If there were a prize for “most stamina,” you would have won it by now. Hold on longer if you can, because the real prize will be the direct result of outlasting everyone else.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Maintenance requires thinking ahead. There never seems to be a good time for it. You

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Self-examination takes courage and confidence. You have both. Looking into your own heart for the flaw is not the easiest way, but it’s the gentlest and least disruptive way.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

When it’s hard, slow down, but don’t stop. Keep a determined mindset. There will be power in your adjustment.

People will notice and hasten to assist you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You want to win, but winning

comes in many forms. Often, the one with the prize who is taking a bow in a wash of applause is not the real winner.

There’s something thrilling for you under the radar.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). How can reflection make you wise if you don’t have much to reflect on? Get in there and make your mistakes. That’s what will make wisdom accessible to you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Unlike monkeys, cats and birds, goats do not feel the need to constantly preen themselves. You can relate.

You’re in a no-fuss, comeas-you-are kind of mood, and someone is falling in love with your confidence.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). By the time you read this, something will have already happened to drain a bit of your willpower. The bottom line: It will be very challenging for you to get yourself to do anything you don’t feel like doing.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You wish you cared about something, or liked it, or wanted it as much as those around you seem to. But it’s great that you don’t! It frees you to find the thing that will really set your heart sailing.
