TJ principal: traffic issues related to drop-off lane

OBITUARIES Robert Metz 51 Michael R. O’Harra, 58 Mary Wilma Sleeuwenhoek, 87 INSIDE TODAY

By Bob Eschliman Daily News Editor Friday, Thomas Jefferson Elementary Principal Lisa Sharp sent out an email to parents at the school informing them of a number of changes related to dropping off students at the school.

“We need your help!

It has come to my attention that the drop off in the morning has become a big (mess),” she wrote.

Sharp encouraged parents to let their children out of their cars at whatever point they come to a stop when pulling into the dropoff lane on the west side of the school building.

Some parents were wait-

ing to get to the end of the drop-off lane, which was causing traffic tieups.

“Some parents are waiting ... so the kids don’t have to walk as far,” she wrote. “This is causing a back-up of traffic clear to First Avenue.”

On Friday, Thomas Jefferson Elementary School kicked off the awards assemblies for the four Newton Community School District elementary buildings.

All four buildings received HealthierUS School Challenge Silver Awards.

The awards, which were started in 2004, celebrate schools who are a part of the National Lunch Program and have taken strides to voluntarily create healthier schools.

“This is a very exciting morning for us at Thomas Jefferson, because we have earned a very special award,” TJ Principal Lisa Sharp said during the assembly. “With the help of a lot of people, it was a team effort, Mrs. Crosson and the help of our own TJ cooks; they are serving us much healthier food.”

“And Mrs. (Heidi) Woollums is teaching us about how important it

is to be healthy and stay healthy and do lots of physical activities,” she continued. “And all of your teachers, who are helping to do some extra activities throughout the week. This year we added the extra ten minutes of physical activities before school starts.”

Sharp also talked about how proud she was of her team for earning the award. The assembly was attended

by NCSD Superintendent Bob Callaghan and Patti Delgar and Angela Mitchell from the Iowa Department of Education.

“It is quite an honor,” IDE Team Nutrition Director Delgar said to the crowd. “In the state of Iowa there are 1,400 school buildings. That is a lot of schools. Thomas Jefferson Elementary School is only one of 59 buildings that have received such an award.”

Delgar praised the schools efforts and presented TJ with a check for a $1,000, several banners, and plaque signed by USDA Secre-

tary Tom Vilsack.

After TJ, the officials visited Aurora Heights and this upcoming Friday they will visit both Berg and Woodrow Wilson Elementary Schools.

NCSD Food Services Director Cristy Crosson said the district applied for the awards after the state contacted them and told them they would make excellent candidates for the awards. She said they were already implementing fresh fruits and vegetables in the meals and just increased that to qualify.

Crosson also talked about how thrilled she was for the district and her staff.

“It’s really significant for our schools to win this award,” Crosson said. “It lets parents know we are trying to feed their kids healthier meals and do lots of physical activities.

My one-room school experience All of them have a loneliness about them, a desolation, and a feeling for the people that once passed through their sturdy walls. Whether they’re in decay, or in some form of preservation, or still being used, the oneroom schools that once dotted the landscape are a symbol of an age gone by, of education taught the “good old fashioned way,” of a time when life

By Curt Swarm was less complicated, Guest Columnist more innocent.

When I heard that Tammy and Kelly Rundle had produced an award-winning documentary, “Country School: One Room — One Nation,” I jumped at the opportunity for a viewing. As with most of the 50-plus people in attendance, memories of my own country-school experience came flooding back.

My one-room school experience was atypical. I didn’t walk three miles, barefoot, uphill both ways, nor was I beaten with a hickory stick, nor did I eat lard sandwiches. Us “town kids” were bused from Prairie City out to a country school for a year while a new school was being constructed.

This was the mid-’50s and I was in the first or second grade. Being a “town kid” at the time, I thought riding the school bus was pretty neat. I soon learned different.

I took the accommodations at the oneroom school in stride. There were outdoor toilets — one for the girls and one for the boys at opposite corners at the rear of the lot, no running water, and two grades in the single room. A large crock served as our water cooler. I believe it was hand filled from an outdoor well.

Mrs. Legrand was our teacher, and this might have been her first year of teaching. She was young, pretty, and a great teacher. Lord Almighty, this could never happen nowadays, but Mrs. Legrand took another little boy and me home with her for an overnight stay under the auspices of working on some art project.

Truth be known, I think she was wanting to have children of her own, and what better way to convince her husband, than to bring two cute little tykes home?

She lived on a farm. I remember riding in the back seat of her Pontiac, and wanting to help her husband do chores instead of working on the art project. The other little boy was a farm kid, and had no interest in chores.

I must have gotten homesick or scared during the night. My mother was called, on the country party line, and I was transported home.

Other memories: beating the erasers was the reward for perfect spelling (the lucky recipient was let out of class to beat the erasers against the schoolhouse wall); playing Annie Annie Over (the schoolhouse was the building we threw the ball over); and Red Rover (“Red Rover, Red Rover, send [whoever] right over!” — then [whoever] would have to try and break the arm hold).

There was no bullying back then. It was the school-of-hard-knocks. You took it, and you dished it out.

As an adult, I’ve tried to find that little one-room school, but had no such luck. Maybe it’s been torn down, or turned into a corn crib. Maybe it was all a figment of my imagination. Writers have been known to have such, you know.

After the year at the country school, we were returned to town schooling. No more two grades per room. As with all one-room schools throughout history, they filled a need, got the job done, and were part of life in the Midwest.

But when I tell my kids that I was bused to a one-room school, I get that “sure dad” look.

Lack of attendance at DMACC event a sign of complacency To the editor: This past Thursday morning, DMACC sponsored a one-hour program related to the Second Amendment of our Constitution, and on the right to bear arms. It was tied in with the annual Constitution Day.

I was shocked at the lack of people in attendance. It would appear that many people in our community would have been on hand related to this very controversial subject. Retirees who many times voice intense interest on the subject stayed away by the hundreds.

Given good coverage in the Daily News, it was not a matter of not knowing about this program that covered both sides

of the issue. It is really sad that complacency and apathy tends to set in related to informational programs such as this.

Don’t you wonder why?

Great little booklets containing the Declaratio of Independence and our Constitution were free for the taking. They are no doubt still available merely by stopping at DMACC’s front office.

Pretty nice perks for pretty people You know it’s true — people see you at work and wonder how someone as incompetent, lazy and hostile as you could ever get a job.

Well, now we know.

Bad workers get hired b e c a u s e they’re so darn goodBy Bob Goldman looking. If Creators Syndicate you weren’t so tall and buff and blonde, you’d be pounding the pavements like the rest of the unemployed uglies. But you got the genes, so you got the job.

It may not be the way the world should be, but it is the way of the world.

How do I know? Aaron Gouveia told me so. Aaron must be pretty darn handsome, because he got the sweet job of content manager at Salary.com, which is where he recently published, “7 Ways Looks Affect Your Pay.” Right from the jump, Aaron tells it like it is. “Discriminating against people based on their physical appearance is wrong — both morally and in many cases, legally speaking.

But the harsh reality is this isn’t a perfect world, and discrimination — whether intentional or inadvertent — still plays a role in the workplace.”

I’m sorry that I have to be the person to break the news that this isn’t a perfect world, but now that you know, you should prepare yourself for the realities of the job market. And while your astonish-

ing good looks may have won you a position at your current employer, remember that looks do fade, and someday, you may have to get a job based on your abilities. That would be bad news.

So, what to do?

The best way to get a job and to get paid more, too, is simply to be tall. According to a 2004 study

by Timothy Judge at the University of Florida, a tall worker can earn an extra $789 per year. Fortunately, there is a remedy to terminal shortness. Remember the Inquisition? If the price of a decent salary is a couple of agonizing hours on the rack, I say, pay it.

Another group of people who pay a high price when it comes to pay are known by their scientific name — fatties. Have a Body Mass Index of more than 30, and you are likely to be paid $4,772 a year less than normalweight coworkers if you’re a man and $8,666 a year less if you’re a woman.

Though your Twinkie budget alone is probably three times higher than these measly amounts, this could be a good argument for going on a diet or getting a sex change.

Hair color is also an issue. “A 2010 study from the Queensland University of Technology studied 13,000 Caucasian women and found blondes earn 7 percent more than female employees with any other hair color.” At least this is one appearance issue that has an easy remedy, and I wouldn’t be deterred by the fact that this study was funded by the Clairol Institute.

Here’s another idea — you’re

more likely to get hired or get a raise if, instead of working, you started working out. A study from Cleveland State University claims, “people who exercise three or more times a week earn an average of $80 a week more than their slothful coworkers.” Before you pick up that barbell, consider the likely results if you spend all that work-out time spreading rumors of business and moral malfeasance about the gym rats.

You’ll never have their six-pack, but you could have their job.

If you’re not a natural beauty, there is hope. You can slather on the makeup. “A study in the American Economic Review said that women who wear makeup can earn more than 30 percent more in pay than non-makeup wearing workers.” This is a problem for men, of course, and if you’re not ready to increase your salary by 30 percent simply by arriving at work with lipstick and eyeliner, remember that a dab of rouge and a light dusting of powder should add at least 10 percent.

The fact that you’ll also get better service from the IT department is just lagniappe.

Before you launch your makeup makeover, sign up at the gym or sign off on three-hour lunches at the SmorgyBob, you should know that it is also a disadvantage if you are considered “too pretty”.

Unless you are applying for a job as a receptionist or a stripper, studies show your good looks could count against you.

Of course, people like thee and me have no choice. We were born beautiful. We just have to live with it.

“That’s why I also invited some of my family and neighbors tonight, so they could see how important it was to develop relationships with customers around the world.”

From Schnell’s farm, situated upon a hilltop overlooking corn and soybean fields contrasted by grass-green buffers and natural waterways, his guests climbed atop farm equipment and talked with the locals. They also asked a number of important questions.

“They were interested in soybean production, the conservation efforts we do, the size of the equipment and more than one person commented on the hope for good quality,” Schnell

said. “I tried to assure them that it was going to be a quality crop this fall.”

The businessmen asked questions about sustainability and genetically modified organisms. They also expressed concern about this year’s yield potential, given the late start to planting this season coupled with the drought conditions that developed over the summer months.

Schnell told them yields will likely be less than average, but added that more acres than normal were planted due to the late start. He assured them supply would not be a problem.

“They are very concerned about quality and protein content because they are Japanese crushers,” Japanese Country Director Mitsuyuki Nishimura of the U.S. Soybean Export Council said. “For them, it is the first time seeing soybean

For Schnell, that’s just part of the job as an ambassador for his industry, whether the visitors come from Des Moines, New York City, or Asia.

He said tours like the one conducted last week show buyers where their soybeans come from and the care taken to raise a quality crop.

“I hope the Japanese visitors developed a stronger feeling of trust with me, the soybean producer,” he said. “[T] hey were able to see a real face, real equipment to have a better understanding of where their soybeans come from and how we strive to do everything in a sustainable way to give them quality products.”

Great Iowa Treasure Hunt coming to Jasper County

By Daily News Staff State Treasurer Michael L. Fitzgerald is bringing the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt to Jasper County in hopes of returning lost money to its rightful owner. “We are holding over $1,568,836.25 for Jasper County citizens in the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt,” Fitzgerald said.

“We have had tremendous success returning unclaimed property in Jasper County,” Fitzgerald stated. “We have returned $950,342.37 for people in Jasper County, but we are always looking for

more individuals.

The fall publication is just beginning and we hope to reunite as many people with their lost treasures as possible.”

The Great Iowa Treasure Hunt program has returned more than $167 million in unclaimed property to more than 406,000 individuals since Fitzgerald started it in 1983.

Unclaimed property refers to money and other assets held by financial institutions or companies that have lost contact with the property’s owner for a specific period of time. State law requires these institu-

tions and companies to annually report and deliver unclaimed property to the state treasurer’s office, where it is held until the owner or heir of the property is found.

Common forms of unclaimed property include savings or checking accounts, stocks, uncashed checks, life insurance policies, utility security deposits, and safe deposit box contents.

Check the unclaimed property database to see if the Great Iowa Treasure Hunt has property belonging to you.

THE BORN LOSER

FAMILY CIRCUS

Monday, September 23, 2013

Daughter of murdered mom should learn the truth in time DEAR ABBY: My granddaughter was murdered by her boyfriend. They had an 18-month-old daughter, “Bella.”

All three were living together when he shot her, but we don’t know what room Bella was in when it happened.

Another family member (I’ll call her Lucy) took Bella into her home, and Bella calls her Mom. Lucy has been taking Bella to the prison to visit her father, but has told her he is her uncle. I told Lucy I thought it would be better to wait until Bella is old enough to understand, THEN tell her what happened and let her decide whether she wants to visit her father.

Bella went into the closet one day and came out holding a T-shirt with her mother’s picture on it, asking, “Who is this?” Lucy’s only response was, “You know you aren’t allowed in my closet.

Take that back!” She never answered the question.

I have a framed photo of Bella’s mother on my wall. The last time Bella was here, I noticed her looking out of the corner of her eye and scowling at the picture. I was the only one who noticed.

Bella is now 4, and I can’t accept that Lucy thinks it’s OK to lie to her. I feel it should be Bella’s decision whether to visit her dad. Am I wrong? How should this be handled so Bella isn’t traumatized any more than need be? Because of these incidents, I’m almost convinced she should have some kind of counseling, but perhaps she’s too young. This is why I desperately need advice, in the best interest of the child. — BELLA’S GREAT-GRANDMA DEAR GREAT-GRANDMA: Is Lucy a member of your family or the murderous boyfriend’s? I find it hard to comprehend that a family member of the victim would drag a toddler to a prison to visit the lowlife who killed her mother.

I do not think it is healthy to lie to children. This situation will explode when Bella finally learns that the wom-

an she has always called “Mom” isn’t her mother, and the man in the orange jumpsuit not only isn’t her uncle but killed her birth mother. That poor girl won’t know whom she can believe and could have trust issues that affect her relationships for the rest of her life. Does she need counseling now? No. But will she when she finds out about the deception? You bet!

DEAR ABBY: What is your opinion about females and car maintenance?

My mother raised me alone and taught me to be independent. She would not let me drive an automatic car until I had mastered driving a standard (stick shift).

I was also not allowed to drive until I was able to perform basic, essential tasks — changing a tire, checking the oil and maintaining all fluid levels.

I am thankful and appreciate that I have these skills. However, I know many women today who can’t perform these tasks and would rather make it a “man’s job.” I think every woman should have these skills. Where do you stand? — INDEPENDENT LADY IN FLORIDA DEAR INDEPENDENT LADY: I stand beside you. There is no guarantee that a woman will have a man to “take care” of her — in fact, the opposite is more likely to be true. However, if she can’t learn the basics of taking care of her car, she should be sure that she’s a member of AAA.

Vernon named one of industry’s 50 most powerful people Chris Vernon, MAS, president and COO of The Vernon Company, has been recognized among the Counselor’s Power 50, the annual ranking of the most powerful executives in the advertising specialty market.

Vernon ranks 43 on the Power 50, and it marks the eighth consecutive year he has made this prestigious list.

Vernon is the only Iowan represented on the Power 50 ranking.

“The trendsetters and power brokers on the 2013 Power 50 list set the industry gold standard for everyone else to follow,” said Timothy M. Andrews, president and CEO of Advertising Specialty Institute. “Earning a spot on this coveted list requires a distinct combination of power, influence and winning agendas.”

The ranking is determined by a panel of editorial experts at ASI’s Counselor magazine, “the voice of the industry,” and is based on factors such as nominees’ achievements and revenue throughout the year and the health of their companies.

“It’s humbling to be recognized with the Power 50 designation again in 2013,” Vernon said. “I feel extremely lucky to have hundreds of outstanding team members who make Vernon a very special place to work. I truly believe our collaborative management process and business transparency empowers our people to reach above and beyond in creating/executing winning campaigns for our valued clients. It’s definitely a full team effort.”

The Vernon Company, a fourth-generation family business founded in 1902, manufactures and markets targeted promotional advertising-based solutions to help businesses build their brand, establish a corporate identity and increase profits.

Dave Hon/Daily News Jeff Settell stands outside a house he was working at on Saturday. Treasure Finders helps people with the sale of their loved ones possessions after they have passed away.

Treasure Finders help people with grieving process

By Dave Hon Daily News Staff Writer When a loved one dies, grieving takes time.

So does going through that loved one’s possessions.

Treasure Finders, a regionally based Estate and Tag Sales business, helps people in Newton and Jasper County with the grieving process in their own way.

Jeff Settell, who started Treasure Finders, said a lot of his clients are from out of state, people who have loved ones who have passed away but don’t have time to take care of their possessions.

“It’s a step up above a garage sale,” Settell said.

“Sometimes I tell people if there’s a small household, you can do better by your own garage sale and having us come in and do the work

for you. But a lot of people say, ‘I’ve done garage sales and it’s too much work.’”

Settell said an estate sale usually means entering the home and cleaning it up.

During this process they pull everything out of the cupboards and closets and sort out items that can’t be sold.

They then price all the items and place them on display.

“As opposed to people going to an auction, where they have to stand all day to wait and bid they can just pick up something and not overpay,” Settell said.

After 1 p.m., all the items in the sale go down in price.

Settell said customers run the risk of the item being gone if they wait for the bargain, though.

Settell said they do about six sales per year. He got the idea for the business from

attending similar sales in the Des Moines area. Settell said he enjoys operating the estate sales more than he does his first job.

“The public’s a challenge from time to time, you know, working with the public,” Settell said. “Families are a challenge from time to time because they have a hard time giving things up that were their parents or they have a hard time seeing things walk out the door.”

Settell said his business has a steady following online and they have regulars who attend their sales. With the season of sales coming to a close this fall, Settell said he’s ready for next season.

Stocks drop as investors fret over budget fight Washington’s budget fight jolted investors on Friday, reminding them that the next few weeks could bring a lot of uncertainty. Wall Street hates uncertainty.

Stocks fell in an afternoon sell-off that wiped out most of the gains from a rally earlier this week, when the Federal Reserve decided to keep its huge economic stimulus program intact.

Major indexes were mixed in morning trading, but turned lower around midday after the U.S. House of Representatives voted to defund President Barack Obama’s health care law.

The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 185.46 points, or 1.2 percent, to close at 15,451.09. That was 225 points below its all-time closing high reached Sept. 18 after the Fed’s announcement.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 12.43 points, or 0.7 percent, to 1,709.91. All 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 fell, led lower by telecom companies and utilities.

Treasury note fell to 2.74 percent from 2.76.

Cardinals pull out district win over Trojans

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor TAMA — Happy to leave Tama with a 22-19 victory, and happy for his players’ ability to find a way to win the Class 3A, District 4 game, but Newton Senior High head coach Ed Ergenbright knows his team has to become better.

One way to get better is to get everybody healthy, so they can play in the game, but more importantly practice.

“That’s the kind of game you play when you have lots of players out of practice all week long, then you try to execute on Friday night,” Ergenbright said after Friday’s game. “I knew it was going to be that way, but we have kids that are hurt. We tried to keep them out of practice to be able to play the game.

“We looked out of kilter. We moved people around to fill spots. We just didn’t look sharp.”

Ergenbright said he was pleased the Cardinals came through on a not-sogood night to post a win on the road against a South Tama Trojan team that was “ready to play.”

After falling behind 19-14, the Cardinals stopped the Trojans and forced a punt — a short punt. The Cardinal offense set up shop at the South Tama 43-yard line with 9:15 left in the game.

J.T. Thongvanh, who led the Cardinals with 51 yards on 11 carries, picked up 20 of those on a second down run to the Trojan 23-yard line.

Tyler Wood rushed for five yards, then Thongvanh plowed down to the 11yard line.

down play. The Cardinals decided to go for two points following the touchdown. They gave it to Thongvanh, who went behind his blockers for the conversion.

“I love giving the ball to J.T. because he’s the fastest guy on the team and probably runs the hardest. He finds a way to get positive yardage,” said Wood. “Nick is my go-to guy.

He’s one of the most athletic kids on the team. He goes and gets every ball I throw his way. It’s nice to have one

Shores tied for third with a 73; Cardinals finish in seventh place

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor MARSHALLTOWN — It’s getting down to the final few regular-season golf tournaments for Newton Senior High’s Cardinals.

They played the Marshalltown Invitational last Friday.

Today, the Cardinals are in Ankeny playing the West Des Moines Valley Invitational at Briarwood Golf Course. Tuesday, they travel to Pleasant Hill for the Southeast Polk Invitational at Copper Creek Golf Course.

The Class 4A district tournaments are Oct. 8. Newton will play in the district tournament hosted by Southeast Polk at Copper Creek. The state tournament is Oct. 11-12 at Hunter’s Ridge Golf Course in Marion.

Last Friday at Elmwood Country Club’s golf course, the Cardinals shot a 332 for seventh place out of 10 teams. Ankeny Centennial won the tournament with a 300, followed by Des Moines Roosevelt one stroke ahead of Ottumwa, 307 to 308.

Mason City finished with a 327, Ames had a 328, and Marshalltown shot a 331. Urbandale was eighth with a 334, followed

by Fort Dodge at 366 and Des Moines North at 447.

Newton junior Devin Shores carded a 73 for the 18-hole event. That score tied him for third overall.

Senior Bobby Dowling shot an 82 Shores and freshman Austin Reynolds came in at 86. Sophomore Derek Damman ended up with a 91.

Cory Hartgers, a senior, had a 96, and sophomore Payton Thomas finished with a 101.

“I was really impressed with Devin today. This was the type of playing I knew Devin was capable of,” said Pat Riley, Newton golf head coach. “He had one eagle and the rest of the day was a lot of pars with a few bogies sprinkled in.

“I really thought we would play a little better but it was really windy and pretty cold, so all in all, they did pretty well. Ankeny Centennial won with a 300. They usually shoot 10-20 strokes better, so the conditions were challenging.”

of those type of receivers.”

Wood was 15-of-25 passing for 132 yards, plus he ran for 37 yards on 16 carries. Easley made nine catches for 78 yards.

Leading 22-19, the Cardinal defense had to come up with stops of the Trojan offense. The Trojans had two one-play drives in the third quarter to take the lead.

“We were struggling the whole game. We came together at the end and found a way to win,” said Will

Brock, senior linebacker and offensive lineman. “We just knew we needed to get a stop.”

Another long pass play to Tyler Martens put South Tama at the Newton 32-yard line. Newton held Trojan running back Bo Blocker to no gain.

Dalton Doyle’s next two passes were incomplete, the second one knocked away by Newton’s Jeff Stanton.

Pella Christian wins tournament title

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor NEW SHARON — When Pella Christian head coach Cindy Nikkel and the Eagles walked out of the Newton gym last Tuesday, she was worried about her team’s ability to serve and receive serve. They worked on it the rest of the week, and it paid off Saturday.

McWilliams carries Mustangs to district win over Raiders

By Dustin Turner Daily News Sports Writer MAXWELL — It doesn’t get much better than this.

The district football season has officially kicked off for all of Iowa’s high school football teams, and if Friday night’s showdown between the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter Raiders and Prairie City-Monroe’s Mustangs is any indication, it could be an entertaining year.

The Mustangs got up on the Raiders early, but CMB simply would not bow out of its homecoming game as the Raiders stormed back to make it a close game late. The Mustangs’ ability to run the football was the differencemaker. They won, 35-27.

“It was really good to get the first district win of the season,” PCM coach Greg Bonnett said. “It’s a big

weight lifted off my chest.”

The first possession of the game for the Raiders set the tone of the game fairly early. After advancing the ball down the field on a pass interference penalty to start the drive, senior quarterback Zach Samson was intercepted

by PCM junior Ricky Reeve, who returned the ball 45 yards for the opening touchdown.

PCM was driving the ball down the field later in the quarter, and with two MUSTANGS See Page 2B Dustin Turner/Daily News At right, Prairie City-Monroe senior Blake McWilliams carries the ball off left tackle in the third quarter of the Mustangs’ win over Collins-Maxwell/Baxter on Friday night.

minutes left in the quarter, the Mustangs faced a fourth and six on the CMB 34-yard line. A big tackle in the backfield by Austin Moorman stopped the drive.

On the next drive, PCM would capitalize. Blake McWilliams ran the ball down the field in three carries, and he finished the drive off with a two-yard touchdown run. The twopoint conversion put PCM ahead 14-0.

With seven minutes left in the half, CMB was trying to force the issue. The Raiders had a fourth and six at the 40-yard line, when they decided to go for it. Ryan Donahue penetrated the defensive line and dragged Samson down for the sack and the turnover on downs.

McWilliams had 19 yards rushing to set up a play action throw to Reeve for the touchdown, giving Reeve scores from both sides of the football and putting the Mustangs ahead 21-0.

The Raiders were determined to come back down the field, knowing they were going to get the ball following halftime. A pass to Brady Stover followed by an end around to Moorman put the ball at the 48-yard line of PCM. On third and one, Samson bulldozed up the middle for 18 yards. They got down to the nine-yard line in a hurry, but the first three tries on goal were unsuccessful.

On fourth down, the Raiders set up a swinging gate play with much of their offensive line lined up on the right side of the field, Stover in the shotgun and Samson playing center. Samson snapped the ball to Stover, who found a wide open Samson for the touchdown, making it 21-7 going into halftime.

On their second possession of the half, the Raiders faked a punt when Stover attempted to find Samson again, but this time the pass fell incomplete. When PCM had the football, they continued to pound on the ground.

Lions take advantage of Eagle miscues

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor URBANDALE — Pella Christian’s Eagles found out they have to play four quarters of a game to win last Friday night.

The Eagles had a strong start against host Des Moines Christian’s Lions, but the finish was not to their liking.

“Drive-killing mistakes were our downfall. We have to be better at executing and holding onto the football,” said Rich Kacmarynski, Eagle head coach, after a 30-17 Class 1A, District 7 loss to the Lions.

The Eagles fall to 1-1 in district play.

They take a 2-2 overall mark into this Friday’s non-district contest at SigourneyKeota.

“We had some very good drives in the game, but two key turnovers and couple of penalties allowed Des Moines Christian to score on us. Really, they had one drive at the end of the first half,” Kacmarynski said.

Pella Christian had a 10-play drive to open the game, which Miles Wichhart capped on an eight-yard touchdown run.

Jacob Brouwer kicked the extra point, then nailed a 21-yard field goal in the second period to put the Eagles up 10-0.

A Nate Haveman punt pinned the Lions down at their own five-yard line. Kacmarynski said DMC was penalized back to the 2 1/2-yard line, then went on a 13-play

drive to score right at the end of the first half. The Lions went to the air to do it, utilizing eight pass plays to move the ball against the Eagles.

“We led 10-7 and had a nice drive to open the third quarter. We moved about 40 yards then fumbled the ball. They scooped it up and scored,” Kacmarynski said. “On the next drive, they had a pick-6 to go up by two scores.”

The Lions added another touchdown and a field goal to lead 30-10. In the fourth quarter, Mason Howerzyl dashed 16 yards to paydirt for the Eagles. Brouwer kicked the extra point.

Howerzyl rushed for 159 yards on 29 carries for Pella Christian. Wichhart had 14 yards on five carries, and Carson Dugger ended up with 22 yards on four carries.

Dillon Branderhorst had 11 yards on our carries.

Colten Collins completed 8-of-15 passes for 113 yards. Dugger hauled in five receptions for 62 yards. Josh Posthuma made a 32-yard catch. Branderhorst had one catch for 10 yards, and Jake De Ruiter made one catch for nine yards.

Leading the Eagle defense was Andrew Vander Hart with seven solo tackles and two assisted tackles. David Kacmarynski recorded five solo stops and five assists while Zach Van Zee made five solo tackles and two assisted tackles.

Volleyball: Seniors Jungling and De Graaf lead Hawks Continued from Page 1B season this weekend,” Nikkel said. “Plus its great to have two of our starters back at full strength.”

Nikkel is talking of seniors Lauren Jungling and Logan De Graaf. She said the two led the team well on Saturday.

Jungling returns to help with the setting duties for the team. She had 29 set assists for the tournament, plus made 11 kills at the net. Abby Pleima was credited with 22 assists.

De Graaf pounded down 16 kills and put up four of the team’s eight solo blocks on the day. She had four assisted blocks.

Becca Gritters led the net attack with 25 kills. Hannah Beltman delivered 13 kills, and had two solo blocks and six assisted blocks.

Christa Veenstra had 10 kills along with one solo block and six assisted blocks for the

Eagles. Laura Nicholson was credited with six assisted blocks.

yard line. McWilliams punched it in from seven yards out to make the score 28-7.

The Raiders came out fast and furious on their next drive. Samson kicked it off with a 25-yard pass to Moorman. He then found Hunter Gunderson for 16. Samson rushed up the middle for seven yards, trucking a PCM defender in the process. Another 20-yard pass to Moorman put the ball on the three-yard line, and Samson ran it in on first and goal.

PCM drove the ball down to its own 41, and faced a third down and three. Moorman had another tackle in the backfield to force a punt. On first and 10, Samson barely missed Bryce Kemp on a pass down the right sideline. He scrambled around on the next play and found Moorman for 27 yards. He rushed up the middle for eight then threw another TD to Moorman to pull within eight.

Strong runs by Logan Gilman and McWilliams sealed the deal for the Mustangs, who drove it down for a touchdown. CMB got one “garbage time” score to arrive at the final of 35-27.

McWilliams was the headline. He rushed for 218 on 36 carries for three touchdowns.

The rushing game was on display, and CMB’s defense did not have much of an answer.

“The guys up front were great at picking up blitzes and making blocking adjustments,” Bonnett said. “They did a great job, and what can you say about Blake? He was great for us.

He ran hard. They couldn’t tackle him with one guy. He was really tough to bring down.”

Gilman ran for 26 yards from the QB position, and Uhlenhopp had 13 yards on the ground.

Leading PCM’s defense was who else but McWilliams with eight tackles. Brandon Charls had seven tackles. Luke Cummings had six. Uhlenhopp recorded five.

Hayes Applegate, Jade Coleman, Donahue, Glenn Gillespie, Ryan Jennings. Jaret Maggard, Ronnie Marshall and Reeve had three apiece.

Samson completed 14-of-29 for the Raiders fro 207 yards and two touchdowns. He led the team in rushing with 58 yards on 19 carries. Moorman carried twice for 20 yards.

Moorman caught eight balls for 121 yards and a touchdown. Kemp caught two passes for 48 yards. Stover caught two balls for 27 yards.

Kemp led the defense with 12 tackles.

Austin O’Connor and Clayton Weltha each had eight tackles. Nick Litell and Logan Cory had seven apiece. Stover and Samson each had six tackles. Patrick Girard had five tackles. Jordan Coughenour had four.

Colfax-Mingo blown out at Mt. Ayr

By Dustin Turner Daily News Sports Writer MOUNT AYR — ColfaxMingo’s football team fell to 2-2 after losing its second straight district game on Friday night’s trip to Mount Ayr. The Tigerhawks were unable to mount much of any attack against the Raiders, falling 61-13.

This marks the second consecutive 40-plus point loss for ColfaxMingo as they have sputtered out to an early 0-2 district record and must now travel to Ogden in what will be another difficult matchup for C-M. Sophomore quarterback Jared Myers went 16-of-35 throwing the football for 204 yards and one

touchdown. Blake Summy led the Tigerhawks with seven receptions for 98 yards. Jake Lietz had two catches for 32 yards. Sam Smith caught three balls for 28 yards.

Myers picked one off and returned it 39 yards for a touchdown.

Brady DeJoode and Nate Smith each had fumble recoveries.

Hawks lose to third-ranked Bears

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor BROOKLYN — BGM’s Bears lived up to their No. 3 ranking in Class A. Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks kept pace with the Bears for a quarter, down 7-0, but found out mistakes can’t be made against BGM. “We turned the ball over and they took advantage of it. BGM is a really good team. You can’t make mistakes against good teams and win,” said Mike Parkinson, Hawk head coach, following a 42-6 loss last Friday in Class A, District 6 action.

“We’ll go forward from here.

Our guys did some things well.

They battled and never gave up in this game. We’ll take one game at a time,” he said.

The Bears scored 21 points in the second quarter to lead 28-0 at halftime. Lynnville-Sully didn’t give up any points in the third quarter. BGM tacked on two fourth-quarter touchdowns before Lynnville-Sully scored its lone touchdown.

Caden Doll broke off a 69-yard touchdown run for the Hawks in the fourth quarter. Doll finished

with 149 yards on 20 carries.

Brandon Dunsbergen completed 5-of-13 passes for 39 yards. T.J. Cunningham made two catches for 17 yards and Darin Hofer had one catch for 15 yards. Sage Ehresman caught one pass for nine yards.

BGM got 104 yards on 25 carries and three touchdowns from Jack Kline, who also tossed a seven-yard touchdown pass to quarterback Bryan Kriegel. Kriegel was 7-of-10 for 160 yards passing, and had a 14-yard touchdown pass to Colton Ryan. Ryan also scored on a 51-yard interception return.

“We played good defense. We just keep hurting ourselves offensively, allowing teams to have short fields to drive on,” Parkinson said. “Our kids are playing together. We just have to make plays on both sides of the football to be successful.”

Cunningham led the Hawk defense with 10 tackles. Doll made eight tackles, followed by Ehresman with seven tackles and Daniel Zimmerman with six tackles.

Dunsbergen intercepted a pass.

The Hawks (0-4) play at Southeast Warren this Friday.

Cardinals: Getting healthy is first step in fixing what ails Newton squad nals back and a fourth-down pass fell short. That’s when the defense held Lowe in check twice and a pass to Blocker was dropped.

That set up the final touchdown march by the Cardinals in the fourth quarter.

“We’ve had so many injuries along the line. We’ve battling and finding a way to come together,” Brock said of the Cardinal offensive line.

Newton improved to 2-2 on the season and 1-1 in Class 3A, District 4 play. The Cardinals are at home this Friday against Grinnell, which lost to Dallas Center-Grimes 21-14 last Friday.

“We have to get better. We have things to fix,” said Ergenbright of his team.

Continued from Page 1B The Trojans went for it on fourthand-10. The pass was complete, but the play came up inches short.

Wood ran right up the middle for 14 yards and seven yards to move the ball for Newton. The Cardinals moved into Trojan territory before bogging down. With 1:50 on the clock, Ryan Thompson’s punt rolled dead at the South Tama six-yard line. Unfortunately, the Cardinals drew a 15-yard personal foul penalty.

Doyle connected twice with Tristan Beyer to move the Trojans to midfield. A short pass to Blocker turned into a 43-yard gain to Newton’s eightyard line.

The Cardinals made another defensive stand. Blocker got one yard then Doyle’s next two passes were incomplete, one tipped at the line of scrimmage. Following a timeout, Adrian Castanon attempted a 23-yard field goal, which sailed wide right, giving the football back to the Cardinals and the win to Newton.

It was not the first time in the game that Newton’s defense held. On the first drive of the game, defensive lineman Troy Exley knocked down a fourth-down pass by Doyle at the Newton 39-yard line.

Exley had four solo tackles, two were for losses. Brock made four solo stops and one assisted tackle. Colton Hansen led the defense with eight solo stops and one assisted tackle, plus two pass deflections.

The Cardinals marched 71 yards on nine plays to score a touchdown.

The drive started with a pass to Easley for 20 yards. It continued on a fourthdown pass play to Deonne Harris followed by another pass to Easley to the 10-yard line.

Thongvanh capped the drive on back-to-back runs of six and four yards, respectively, for the touchdown.

A bad snap prevented a successful extra-point kick, leaving Newton up 6-0.

On the ensuing kickoff, Blocker broke loose up the field on the return.

fumble, which Newton’s Jordan Travis recovered at the Cardinal 43-yard line at the 4:09 mark of the first quarter.

Allen finished with six unassisted tackles and a pass deflection. Levi Michener made five solo tackles and three assisted tackles for the Cardinal defense. Nick Glotfelty had five solo stops Thongvanh, Wood and Joseph Banfield gained yards on runs, and Wood found Easley for eight yards on a pass play. Banfield hauled in a 14-yard pass on fourth down.

“We kind of just settle and think we’ve got it made when we get a lead,” Wood said. “We’re happy with where we are instead of keep doing what’ve we’ve been doing. We have to get better playing hard — both on offense and defense — for a full four quar-

Newton’s defense turned away another South Tama scoring threat at the Newton 13-yard line with 7:25 left in the first half. The Trojans marched 60 yards on 11 plays to score with 1:52 on the clock — an eight-yard run by Jerry Lowe.

It was 14-7 at halftime.

Neither team made much happen offensively through the first half of the third quarter. South Tama got a 45-yard touchdown run from Lowe with 6:50 on the clock, but Castanon’s kick failed. Newton led 14-13.

Additional cross country results are reported

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Staff Editor Last Thursday, thunderstorms threw things into a mess for cross country meets involving area high schools. Here’s a few more results from two meets.

Newton’s boys competed in the Little Hawk Invitational at Iowa City Thursday. They finished fifth with 152 points. The Daily News had the individual results in Friday’s story on the meet, but not comments from Newton boys’ cross country coach Tom Bartello.

“Overall the kids ran hard.

Christian Laube took 11th overall and freshman Justin Fischer ran a personal-best time as the Cardinals’ No. 3 runner (Thursday),” Bartello said. Fischer was 34th in 19 minutes, 59.7 seconds for the 5K race.

“We had a bit of a tough time as a team with a number of runners not feeling 100 percent during their race,” Bartello said. “I know not many runners finished with places or times they were hoping for, but everyone showed that their hearts are in the right place, even when their legs feel

a few steps behind. We found some positive things to work on, but I’d rather have a tough meet at this point in the season than at districts or state.”

Also Jacob Arrowood was the lone Newton runner in the boys’ junior varsity race. He finished 100th in 21:57 in a field of 148 runners.

Newton hosts its junior high and high school invitational cross country meet Tuesday at Westwood Golf Course. The junior races begin at 4:15 p.m., followed by the high school varsity girls and boys starting at 5 p.m.

Teams competing in the Newton Invitational high school divisions are Newton, Des Moines Christian, Des Moines East, Grinnell, Knoxville, Marshalltown, Oskaloosa and West Marshall, along with the Des Moines Roosevellt girls, and Southeast Polk girls.

AT LYNNVILLE, only the girls’ race was completed in the LynnvilleSully Invitational. The storm washed out the varsity boys’ and junior high races. Lynnville-Sully cross country coach Darin Arkema announced Sunday

that those races will not be rescheduled because not enough schools were available Monday or Tuesday of this week.

In the confusion at the end of the girls’ race at Lynnville, two schools’ results were not turned into Arkema. Arkema released the revised results Sunday.

Team places were not affected.

Prairie City-Monroe’s Rachel Stafford and Rachel Peter earned individual medals. Stafford ran the 4K course in 17:38 for ninth place. Peter placed 14th in 17:53. Shelby Palm finished 58th in 22:33 and Amber Beener was 78th in 30:21.

PCM hosts its invitational cross country meet this Thursday on the Monroe Golf Course. The junior varsity-varsity meet begins at 4:30 p.m.

Teams to compete at the PCM Invitational along with the host school are Colfax-Mingo, CollinsMaxwell/Baxter, Lynnville-Sully, Pella Christian, Ballard, Centerville, Clarke, Davis County, Durant, Montezuma, Pleasantville, Southeast Warren, Twin Cedars, and West Marshall.

Stenson wins Tour Championship and FedEx Cup ATLANTA (AP) — Henrik Stenson capped off the best stretch of his career Sunday with the biggest payoff in golf.

Stenson held off a brief challenge by 20-year-old Jordan Spieth and closed with a 2-under 68 to win the Tour Championship by three shots over Spieth and Steve Stricker.

The 37-year-old Swede also captured the FedEx Cup and its $10 million bonus. Stenson earned $1.44 million for winning the tournament.

Stenson, who two years ago was outside the top 200, moved to No. 4 in the world.

Spieth left one lasting impression on his remarkable rookie season. The youngest player in Tour Championship history ran off four straight birdies on the back nine at East Lake and pulled within one shot of Stenson with his 10-footer on the 16th.

Spieth caught a buried lie in the bunker short of the 17th green and made bogey, while Stenson steadied himself with an 8-foot birdie on

the par-5 15th to return his lead to three shots. Stenson only made it easy at the end with three pars — nearly holing out from the bunker right of the 16th green, hitting a scary shot from the right fairway bunker on the 17th to the middle of the green, and saving par from another bunker on the 18th.

Spieth closed with a 64, while Stricker had a 65.

Stenson, who finished at 13Tiger Woods, the No. 1 seed going into the Tour Championship, never recovered from his 73-71 start.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 24). Your talents shine this year, but do not rely on them. It’s hard work and dedication that will see you through the finish line of a big project. Someone with opposing views will make your work and life richer in October. You’ll get to experience something special and exclusive in December. Aries and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 2, 33, 19 and 4.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

A person who enjoys you will tend to overlook any less than perfect things you do and even make up reasons why your flaws and

mistakes are actually glorious.

be the role or not and come or go as you please.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

There are those who will try to get away with anything and everything they can. It’s up to you to uphold the ideal of justice for all.

Where justice is denied, everyone suffers, not only the oppressed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your sign mate Abraham Lincoln, the great humanitarian and 16th president of the United States, said, “When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad. And that is my religion.”

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s as though the wind wants to mess up your hair -- and not in a mean way, but in an older sibling way that lets you know that wherever you are, someone is keeping you in check.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When receiving a compliment on work that was done by someone else, for instance for a haircut or an item of clothing, some take the credit. You’ll assign it appropriately, and your honesty attracts an admirer.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Anger is an emotion that makes you seek your own interest instead of seeking the truth. That’s why it’s better not to make any decisions or try to express yourself in the heat of an angry moment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). So often the roles we cut out for ourselves become like traps. Real power is feeling that you are free to

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Beware of those who associate with you primarily because they think it makes them look better. While this is flattering, it’s so superficial that you can’t trust the connection. It could change at any moment.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You believe in every person’s right to live well.

That’s why it makes you

angry when people waste the things that would mean so much to another person.

You’ll proudly take part of an effective redistribution.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You believe that life is full of beauty. But for some reason, people talking about that in overly simplistic and sentimental ways makes you feel inwardly rebellious. You prefer to find beauty on your own terms.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Should you stick to your ritual or veer from it?

Every time you repeat an action, it strengthens the neural pathways in your brain that make the next repetition easier. Will that be better for you or worse?

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Just because you can sense the layers inside yourself and spend time in those depths doesn’t mean others are able to do this. Your gift for introspection is a rare talent to celebrate.
