Baxter police asking for public’s help in dog attack Newton Daily News

BREAKING NEWS

BAXTER — The Baxter Police Department is asking the public for help in identifying the owner of a dog which bit and injured a 9-monthold boy on Wednesday night.

According to Baxter Police Chief Rick Nichols, the dog appeared to be a German Shepherd and was last seen with

Courtesy of Jasper County Historical Museum Five men from the Ira area, known as “The Ira Five,” signed up for the U.S. Army together and served in World War I nearly 100 years ago. In front, on the left, is William “Bill” Castor. Behind William Castor, from the left, are Zenas Jones, Russell Rippey (the only one of the five to be killed in combat), Seward Castor and Clifford “Tip” Castor.

Three brothers, their cousin and another Ira man joined the military right after the U.S. entered World War I Editor’s Note: This article is the second in a two-part Newton Daily News series about a unique set of brothers and two other young men from the Ira area known as the Ira Five.

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News In 1970, Beverly Decker Cross published the book “Recollections and sketches of northwest Jasper: Baxter, Clyde, Hoy Hill, Greencastle, Mingo, Ira, Horn.” The book recounts many World War I era events from Ira, including the time

period when the U.S. ramping up troop numbers in the spring of 1917.

Cross, a valued county historian on several levels, passed away in April 2015 — nearly two years after her husband, Glen Richard “Rich” Cross died. Rich Cross told the Newton Daily News in a 2013 interview how he learned about the Ira Five firsthand, growing up on a family farm near Ira. The Ira Five — Seward V. Castor, Clifford C. Castor and William H. Castor — all brothers — along with their cousin, Russell Rippey, and longtime friend Zenas Jones, joined

the U.S. Army together in 1917, just after the U.S. entered World War I, and were able to serve together in the same infantry regiment.

Jones was the grandfather of Newton attorney and Jasper County native John Billingsley.

Billingsley said there were well-wishing parades in Ira, Baxter and Newton as the five left town for training. Their unit had both Army and Marine Corps servicemen, Billingsley said, as the U.S, hastily moved troops to the front lines to help the Allied Powers’ efforts.

$4M renovation proposed for McCann Village

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Wishrock Housing Partners, of Portland, Maine, has shown an interest in purchasing and conducting a $4 million renovation at McCann Village.

The company presented a proposal to the Newton City Council Monday and was approved to move forward with an application for Iowa Finance Authority Low-Income Housing Tax Credits from the State of Iowa.

McCann Village is an 80-unit apartment

complex located at 1105 E. 12th St. S. and is currently a nonprofit, income-based property that serves those ages 62 and above. Wishrock Housing Partners is proposing to undertake an extensive renovation project to modernize the building and grounds and improve the quality and accessibility at the complex.

Nonprofit encourages Newton High School students to think about college costs

Berg Middle School still alive in contest

Submitted Photo Some major changes have occurred in the process of high school seniors completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, as outlined by a representative of a nonprofit who recently visited Newton High School. The earliest date to file for 2017 college students to begin completing a FASFA is Oct. 1, 2016.

Students should complete FAFSA no matter their plans

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News It’s a vast understatement to say there are a few things to know about applying for college financial aid in the U.S. However, there are organizations charged with making the process simpler and helping equip parents and students with information.

One of those organizations is a nonprofit called the Iowa College Access Network and one of its representatives made a Sept. 15 trip to Newton High School to talk about some of ICAN’s main missions.

The Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA, is a daunting form to complete, as is the follow-up and information flow involved in its processing. Jessica Schultz came to NHS to explain to parents and students some important elements and changes to keep in mind in applying for financial aid.

Among the multitude of changes to the process Schultz listed is that the dreaded PIN — the four-digit personal identification number each student needed to remember, with the perceived fear of possibly never seeing another penny of aid — is a thing of the past.

“There are no more PINs,” Schultz said. “There is a user name and a password now, and each FAFSA account is Social Security number-specific.”

There are hundreds of other such details covered in a publication that

bears ICAN’s name called “Paying for College: A Guide to the 2016-17 Financial Aid Process.” Schultz covered a few of the main points of the booklet, and encouraged parents to start right away on collecting the information needed to have ready when completing the FAFSA. The FAFSA form feeds into a national government database used by colleges and universities to determine financial need and eligibility.

Not only does it help directly link students to federal aid programs, it also can include grants, scholarships, work-study and loans.

Schultz also covered a few of the nuances of the data required on the FAFSA, such as listing investments, using the IRS data retrieval tool, 529 Coverdale accounts, untaxed Social Security benefits, expected family contributions (toward paying college costs), award letters and dependency determinations.

“Savings accounts, for example, are one of the many assets included in determining need,” Schultz said.

“So if you’re saving up money for something like books or supplies, or get graduation gifts in the form of checks or cash, it might be wise to go ahead and spend that money early.”

Two big changes Schultz discussed at length during her onehour presentation at NHS were the changing tax year and the early opportunity to complete a FAFSA. The earliest date to file for students going from high school to college

in the fall of 2017 is Oct. 1, 2016.

The previous year’s tax information will be used, rather than the current year. Students entering college in the fall of 2017 will use their family’s 2015 tax return information.

Schultz said there are too many of these kinds of changes every year. Parents of students in the high school graduating class of 2018 or later should talk regularly with guidance counselors and organizations such as ICAN to stay up on the latest updates to the process.

“Write down things like passwords or usernames and the like,” Schultz said. “And when computer programs offer you the chance to ‘save a copy for your records,’ always say yes.”

Many questions can be answered on ICAN’s website, www.icansucced.org, or by emailing Schultz at jschultz@ICANsucceed.org or calling her at 877-272-4692 ext.

4210.

For parents or students who want to meet in person to meet with an ICAN ad visor, Schultz said, they can always make an appointment to come to the nonprofit’s office, located on the DMACC’s Ankeny Campus.

“Some folks just understand concepts better when explained in person,” Schultz said.

Local & State News Ira Five Continued from Page 1A “With all the Civil War veterans around, Iowa guys signed up quickly, because it’s simply what you did,� Billingsley said.

Jones left behind a few items from the war that remain in Billingsley’s possession, including a 40-millimeter artillery shell, which Billingsley believes is from a European army, along with his canteen, his tunic, and overcoat and a pot-style combat helmet. “He liked to point out that a helmet that protected him from death later served as a nest to help bring life into the world in the form of baby birds,� Billingsley said of his grandfather.

Another book by Beverly Cross, titled “Letters Home,� details how the Ira Five landed in France in September 1917 after their training was completed stateside. Their company then trained with French troops before the entire division — the 23rd Infantry — moved to the front and went into the trenches in March 1918.

Clifford Castor was wounded in battle at Belleau-Wood in June 1918. His brother, William, gave him first aid, but was injured by “shell shock� later that same day.

Two weeks later, Seward Castor and Rippey were badly gassed in that same part of France. It took Seward about one month to fully regain his eyesight after the gas attack.

Rippey was one of more than 53,00 Americans killed during World War I. He was the only casualty from Ira, according to James R. Rhodes’ 1920 book “Honor roll, 1917-1918-1919, Jasper County, Iowa in the World War: A History of One county’s Loyalty in the Struggle for World Democracy.� There are 53 total casualties from the county listed in the book.

Other county casualties include soldiers with familiar local last names, such as Dick Dunsbergen and Virgil H. Guthrie of Newton, Leo L. Goeke and Arthur A. Petermeier of Baxter and Anthony G. Rozendaal of Lynnville.

The letters home begin with brief details about train travels to different parts of the U.S., but

This is the second year of the return of the farmers’ market to downtown. It was previously located in the parking lot at the Centre for Arts and Artists. “It appeared to be a pretty good farmers market.

There were a lot of hot days but I think everyone was pretty pleased with all of the customers,� Doug Whitmore of Riverbottom Farms said.

Kerry Whitmore agreed, expressing shock at the amount of interest they received in Newton. “It is our first year here and we were quite impressed with the turn out,� Kerry Whitmore said.

Mike Williams, who sells apples toward the end of the farmers’ market season, has also been successful this year. “This is our third week because we sell apples but so far it has been reasonably good,� Williams said. “We’ve always done good in Newton, we love the Newton people.�

The young men — none of them older than his early 20s — alternate between thinking of home and getting into the strategy and progress of the war. There were call for various warm clothing items to be sent over to France.

Rippey was hit by sniper fire on Oct. 7, a few months after being “slightly� burned, though his injuries were serious enough to warrant recovery in a base hospital.

When he suffered the Oct. 7 bullet wounds, Rippey initially made it back to the American camp, but eventually died of his injuries at age 19. He is buried in a national French cemetery located northeast of Paris.

Rippey sent home his thoughts Beverly Cross detailed in the “Letters Home� book. In what turned out to be one of the last few letters he would write, Rippey longed to see Ira, Baxter and northwest Jasper County once again.

Sadly, he would never get the chance. “It sure was funny when a nurse came in and say ‘Morning, boys.’ The first time I heard an American girl speak in some time,� wrote Rippey about three months before he died. “How is everybody and how is Baxter coming? I sure would like to see that town again.�

spective change of being on stage during a coronation, compared to watching from the audience, is intense. “It’s so different to have everyone looking at you,� Thorpe said. “It was an awesome experience.

I’m so proud to represent what I feel is great class and city of people, especially the 20 of us who were nominated for Homecoming. Any of these kids could have won, and would have been just as deserving.�

Thursday evening’s parade, filled with student-assembled floats and Newton teams and clubs of all sorts, finished just before a brief rain passed through Newton.

The football team and cheerleaders held a short pep rally on the west side of the courthouse, with Smith using his turn at a microphone to implore the youngest football players to do their best to beat Marshalltown.

Smith said there are many family members,

coaches and co-workers who have helped him in various ways through the years. Those co-workers includes Joy, the small pig owned by Capitol II movie theater owners Dawn and Paul Bleeker. “I was surprised I was picked for king,� Smith said. “In fact, I didn’t even think I would be among the top 20 candidates.�

Friedman said this project has a niche the other two do not. “For the McCann Village project there is an area of the funding that is designated specifically for rehabbing or preserving an existing project,� Friedman said.

Wishrock is also requesting city assistance in order to make the extensive renovation possible and to be competitive in the state scoring system. The developer is requesting a 10-year, 100 percent property tax abatement which is the maximum allowable by Iowa Code for multi-residential properties. “In the unique case of McCann Village, this abatement would not

Friends on First

Write On Kate Malott

I

try and go on a walk every day. On a good day I go on three, and I usually find myself downtown — maybe because that’s where the people are.

For the most part, Newton is a good environment to walk in. It’s a neighborly place, which despite the things the town lacks, the locals’ niceness is triumphant. ​Margery Potter I first met Margery and Marvin Potter following the Fourth of July parade on the square. They were with their dear friend Margaret Jorris sharing lunch together, people watching and celebrating the holiday when I walked by, introduced myself and asked to take their picture.

Margery was lovely, smiling and engaging. Margery asked about me.

I always find it pleasant and refreshing when a stranger inquires about me personally in conversation — it’s not

expected but it’s a nice gesture. Marvin was kind, humble and friendly. Both are funny.

A few weeks ago, I ran into the Potters again in the home stands at a Newton football game. It was a cold and wet evening, and everyone was covered in rain ponchos and jackets. I asked to sit by them.

We talked about where they had lived in their life, their committed service to the church and their children. They had very fond memories of their son playing Newton football.

Jim Reeder I first met Jim Reeder in passing, with a wave, “hello” or a comment about the weather. Jim is a mailman, and he works downtown. He delivers the mail all throughout the day, but I usually see him near the newspaper office in the morning or around lunch. Jim came

into the newspaper one day to thank us for the story about his predecessor, Junior Banks.

I saw him again in passing a few weeks ago. I was listening to headphones, and he asked what I was listening to. It was The Who. We had a great conversation about classic rock music, jam bands and a Grateful Dead cover band with guitarist John Mayer called Dead & Company. He recommended I check them out, and we both revealed our appreciation for Mayer’s talent.

Harold Brown I first met Harold Brown three years ago after I found he and his wife Lois’ phone number, called them and asked to do a feature story on their gorgeous First Avenue home. They obliged, and we have been friends ever since.

Harold even took my mom and me for a ride in his perfect yellow 1957 Chevy Bel-Air convertible on a beautiful spring day. It was the best car ride I have ever been on.

I see Harold and Lois on occasion, sometimes at the store or at an event.

Harold also walks downtown which is where I usually see him.

Harold is gentle and caring and I feel very comfortable telling him about my triumphs and troubles, something I don’t share with everyone. He shares great advice and his wisdom from his own experiences. He told me “Life isn’t perfect but it sure is precious.” I think about that phrase a lot because truer words have never been summarized so simply.

They say curiosity killed the cat but that’s an unfair remark on curiosity. I think it’s important to want to learn more about something new and different, whether its about political issues or an acquaintance. It’s also important to engage and inquire because what’s curiosity without action.

Thank you, Harold, Jim, Margery and Marvin for sharing your stories.

Your ability to be approachable, outgoing and friendly are valuable qualities which make us all a little bit better people, or at least happier.

So Anyway Dana King

What’s that you say?

The other day, hubby and I were talking and the word “fisticuffs” was used during the conversation.

My 25-year-old girl-child was stymied.

“What in the world is that?” she asked. Apparently, it wasn’t something we used in our everyday vocabulary when she was growing up, and to be honest, I’ve probably only used it a few times in my life.

So I’m not exactly sure why it even flowed from my mouth during that particular conversation.

After we told her what it meant, it started me thinking of other words — idioms, similes, euphemisms, metaphors and hyperboles riddling our daily speech.

I vividly remember the first time I heard the term “hunker down.” I was in my 20s, and we were living at the Lake of the Ozarks. I was quite certain it had to be something only hillbillies did, whatever it was.

Imagine my surprise when I learned I had actually done it many times, whether waiting out a tornado in the basement or staying warm and cozy in my house during a heavy snow.

As I was growing up, my elders would use the phrase “vim and vigor” and although the words may have seemed foreign to me, I understood it to mean someone was doing well and was full of energy. But I was taken back when, in church one day a few years ago, an older woman professed herself to be full of “piss and vinegar.” That was a new one to me, but I immediately knew what she meant.

I’m also certain many families have their own sayings or phrases that might raise an eyebrow to “outsiders.”

In my family, I grew up hearing “when Shep was a pup” referring to the old days. For all I knew everyone said it. Quite recently, I learned my mom’s grandparents had a dog when she was a child — you’ll never guess his name — which they had from the time he was a puppy. It was that simple. My great-grandparents would refer to the time “when Shep was a pup” and to this day, my family, including myself, use those five words to reference anything from years ago.

Who knew?

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

YOUR VIEW

Help improve Jasper County, support UWJC Nineteen years ago, Kid Assist of Jasper County was looking for funding to get started on its mission: improving the quality of life of persons with disabilities by loaning leisure, recreational and other adapted equipment they might not otherwise be able to obtain. We approached New-

Newton should embrace beekeeping To the forward thinking City of Newton — In the late fall of 2013 I began learning about beekeeping. I was fascinated with the science the social structure of the hive and the undeniable work ethic of these tiny insects that keep our world alive beautiful and healthy. I spent time reading, learning and watching others. In the spring of 2015 I started two small hives inside the city limits of Newton. The two colonies of honey bees in my backyard thrived. In the fall of 2015 I was able to harvest a small amount of honey from two firstyear hives.

Let me tell you about my first year experience — relationships with my neighbors got better.

ton United Way and received an initial grant of $5,000. At that time, Kid Assist received 100 percent of its funding from Newton United Way. Since 1997, Newton United Way broadened to become United Way of Jasper County. Kid Assist now relies on United Way of Jasper County for only 50 percent or less of its funding. Since we are an all volunteer organization, we rely on United Way to help us get the word out about our program.

Last year, United Way of Jas-

per County allocated more than $225,000 to 16 nonprofits to provide 23 health and human services programs to Jasper County citizens. You can help these programs improve the quality of life of persons served by making your donation now through Nov. 11 during Jasper County’s Annual Campaign. Call Jessica Lowe UWJC Executive Director at 641-792-1684 with questions about obtaining a pledge form.

We talked almost weekly about the bees and about changes that take place in the hive. As spring progressed to summer we talked about all the benefits to our flower and vegetable gardens. The increase in produce production for tomatoes, cucumbers and melons was noticeable. I gave raw comb honey right out of hives to several neighborhood kids. The look in their eyes when they bite into a comb and had that fresh honey explode with sweetness and flavor is something they will never forget. I love teaching about the bees, what they are doing, and how the benefit all of us.

I kept my honey bees in my backyard just a few blocks from Aurora Heights school through 2015 and most of 2016 until the city served me with a demand to remove them. They claimed my property wasn’t large enough to host two bee hives that took up less space than a riding lawn-

mower. My busy backyard bees never bit a mailman, never barked all night, never created waste, never smelled and helped pollinate two square miles of my surrounding neighborhood and never bothered anyone.

There are many of us in your city already and even if eliminated us out of misguided fear and misunderstanding you would never try and get rid of the wild bees. I’d like to see our city encourage backyard beekeeping — something our world desperately needs. There is no logical or factual reason to prohibit beekeeping in the city limits based on property size. Allow Newton’s own local beekeepers to educate you and the public to create better local policies for everyone.

Follow the lead of your big sister city, Newton. Get to Know West Des Moines.

Profession of love comes too soon for divorcee now dating DEAR ABBY: I’m a recent divorcee who has started dating again. I have been seeing this guy — also divorced — for a few months, and he recently told me he loves me. There’s definitely a mutual attraction, but I’m not ready for love again, which we’ve discussed in great detail.

When I ask him why he loves me, he can’t answer specifically. His usual reply is something along the lines of, “I just do.” I can’t help but think maybe he doesn’t really love me if he can’t explain why. Am I overthinking this? Is our relationship moving too fast? What should I do? — NEW TO THIS IN IDAHO DEAR NEW TO THIS: Take your time and continue getting to know this man. Do not let yourself be rushed into any commitment for which you are not ready. Divorce can be painful and leave one or both partners feeling a lack of self-esteem.

Because he seems unable to put his feelings into words, instead of asking him why he loves you, let him demonstrate the depth of his love for you through his actions. Time will tell if he is sincere.

DEAR ABBY: My husband’s 67-year-old sister recently borrowed a large sum of money, but my husband told her not to worry about paying it back. They both receive Social Security benefits, but her payments are substantially larger. She supports only herself.

His check supports us both.

The problem is that for the past few months she has been borrowing money she promises to pay back, but when the time comes, instead of repaying it she asks for more money. We can’t afford it, but he can’t seem to tell his big sister no, and it’s causing problems in our marriage.

I love my husband dearly, but I’m beginning to resent his sister for taking more money from us each month, and him for giving it to her. If I step in, I will be the bad guy. What is the best

way to handle this situation? — GOING BROKE IN THE WEST DEAR GOING BROKE: Step in and be the bad guy. Tell your husband’s sister she won’t be getting any more money unless she pays back what she has already “borrowed.” Your sister-inlaw probably won’t like you for it, so be prepared to stand your ground and don’t be surprised.

DEAR ABBY: I noticed a very attractive woman coming out of the library. She was wearing a soft, feminine short skirt. I wanted to compliment her, so I walked over and said, “I love your skirt — it looks so pretty.” She said, “Thank you. You made my day!”

We had a great conversation for several minutes, after which we went our separate ways. Afterward I was kicking myself because I didn’t ask for her phone number. It felt good to know that my compliment made her feel pretty.

Do most women appreciate compliments about their clothing? I wouldn’t want to make a woman feel uncomfortable. But it brightens my day when I can compliment someone. — LARRY IN LOS ANGELES DEAR LARRY: It has been my experience that not only do most women appreciate a compliment, so do most men. If it brightens your day to offer one, go ahead and do it. And if someone has a problem with that, do not make it YOUR problem.

More cities mobilizing for flooding along Cedar River CEDAR RAPIDS — Authorities in Cedar Falls, Waterloo, Cedar Rapids and other cities are mobilizing resources to handle flooding from the Cedar River.

The rain-swollen river already has left its banks upstream, forcing evacuations at several communities along its path through northeastern Iowa.

On Friday the National Weather Service was predicting less-than-record crests, but officials say at least moderate flooding seems a certainty.

3 Board again delays ruling on Kinnick-inspired house

IOWA CITY — The Iowa City Board of Adjustment has again delayed a ruling on whether to let a couple build a 7,500-squarefoot home designed to resemble Kinnick Stadium. An appeal of the city’s building permit was scheduled for a vote Wednesday night after an earlier vote delay, but now the decision has been delayed until next Wednesday. A group called the Neighbors of Manville Heights Association and property owners in the area are appealing the city’s June issuance of the permit.

SIOUX CITY — A Sioux City man has been charged with arson and other counts after police say he locked his live-in girlfriend in their home before trying to set it on fire. The woman called 911 on Wednesday afternoon to report that her boyfriend had threatened to kill her and had started a fire in the home. Officers say they found a burned paper bag on the living room floor.

In addition to arson, 39-year-old Karl Lyons has been charged with false imprisonment, domestic abuse assault and other crimes.

NCSD Board to address first steps of Berg rebuild

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Since a public bond vote in a Sept. 13 election brought the needed 60 percent approval for the Newton school district to proceed with a $33 million project to rebuild Berg Middle School, a few items related to the project are on the Monday agenda for the school board meeting.

Dave Briden of FRK Design was heavily involved in creating preliminary designs for the Berg Complex and other projects. FRK is to be considered at Monday night’s meeting as the architect and engineering firm to lead the design of the rebuild of Berg. The Newton Com-

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Dave Briden of FRK Design looks over preliminary proposals for the new Berg Complex at a bond committee meeting held last year. FRK is to be considered at Monday night’s Newton Community School District Board of Education meeting as the architect and engineering firm to lead the design of the rebuild of Berg Middle School.

munity School District hopes to begin construction on the rebuild, which will be on the

same Berg campus, in the spring of next year.

Discussion of a preliminary timeline for

the construction of the grades 5-8 school is also on Monday’s agenda, as is an update from

what’s now being called the Berg Middle School Construction Committee.

The school board is also expected to discuss open enrollment and some out-of-state travel requests.

The board will consider purchasing $25,000 in equipment upgrades to the timekeeping system for NHS girls and boys swim teams.

A resolution for the district to request allowable growth and a supplemental aid payment for NCSD’s negative special education balance of more than $615,000 is also on the agenda.

Several fundraiser requests from Berg Middle School groups will

be considered, including the Builder’s Club, BMS Student Council, along with Newton High School’s Empower Tanzania Club and Key Club.

The board will consider reorganization of board officers, as it does each September.

Monday’s meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. at the EJH Beard Administration Center. It will be preceded by a 5 p.m. work session regarding the Dennison Culture Survey.

A board work session is set for 6 p.m. on Oct. 3 at the EJH Beard Center.

The next regular board meeting is Oct. 10.

Cardinal harriers run in tough meet at Indianola

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Ellie Horn, left, runs in Newton’s home cross country meet Tuesday on Westwood Golf Course.

On Thursday, Newton’s cross country teams competed in the Indianola Invitational cross country meet.

INDIANOLA — Newton High’s cross country runners competed on another warmer-than-usual fall afternoon Thursday.

The Cardinal girls finished 11th and the boys were 14th in the Indianola Invitational, which featured 14 girls’ varsity teams and 18 boys’ varsity teams.

“It was another warm one today, but the girls responded well, and bounced back from the meet on Tuesday,” Newton girls’ head coach Rachelle Tipton said. “Most of the girls ran faster than or similar to what they did earlier in the week, which shows the

strength they have. It will be fun when we start to see some cooler weather.”

Freshman Abby Altman led the Cardinal girls at Indianola with a personal-best time of 23 minutes, 6 seconds to finish 44th in the girls’ 5K race. Junior Tessa Keeton finished 56th in 23:48 and senior Ellie Horn placed 77th in 25:45.

There were 98 runners in the varsity girls’ race. Newton ran with a smaller squad Thursday.

Jenna Smith, a freshman, and junior Liz McVey ended up the final two team scoring runners for the Cardinals. Smith was 81st in 26:15 and McVey turned CARDINALS | 8B

MONROE — Colfax-Mingo senior Dakota Hostetter has a busy fall schedule.

She runs on the cross country team, plays hitter on the volleyball team and is a football cheerleader. That doesn’t even include all the homework she has to complete every night.

Thursday, Hostetter had a lot less on her plate and it showed with one of her best performances of the season at the PCM Cross Country Invitational.

Hostetter, who is ranked 21st in the latest Class 1A girls individual state rankings, did not have a volleyball match to get to and the football team didn’t need to be cheered on until today. While the homework was still there, Hostetter’s night began with an individual championship on a hot and muggy night at Gateway Recreation Troy Hyde/Daily News Golf Course.

Colfax-Mingo senior Dakota Hostetter was the “It was kind of nice to be just high school girls 5K champion at the PCM Cross one and done. I get to leave and Country Invitational at Gateway Recreation Golf GIRLS | 3B

Course in Monroe on Thursday. Hostetter’s winning time was 21 minutes, 38.08 seconds.

Catching excellence is doable

L

egendary football coach Vince Lombardi said, “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection, we can catch excellence.”

As in all walks of life, not many athletic teams have a perfect season.

There’s only been one perfect season in the National Football League — the 1972 Miami Dolphins.

In high school and college team sports, we see teams go through the regular season and win a championship with a perfect record. Not a lot, but there have been a few which have achieved perfection.

Working on the story about the Newton High School 1966 Central Iowa Conference championship football team, I heard stories from some

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets of the players who were on the team.

The Cardinals went 7-1 in 1966 with a 5-0 CIC record. Their only loss was to Des Moines Roosevelt, which I was told was a state powerhouse program in the 1950s and 1960s.

The four former NHS players I interviewed for the story each told me the team didn’t play very well against Roosevelt. Newton gave up a long touchdown run early in the game then settled down defensively. The Cardinals turned the ball over several times that night at home, losing 14-0.

“But we went to work again on Monday because we knew we had more games to play,” Dave Clement said. “It was always about the team.

We wanted to be successful as a team.

We worked together.”

Three games remained on the 1966 schedule for Newton. The Cardinals

MONROE — Eric Karr is enjoying all the success PCM senior Chris Ellens has had this season. But if the Mustang cross country coach has one complaint, it’s that Ellens hasn’t had anyone to run with.

There are worse problems to have.

Ellens cruised to another individual title Thursday when he dominated the rest of the field on his home course at the PCM Cross Country Invitational on a hot and muggy night at Gateway Recreation Golf Course.

Ellens won the race in 17 minutes, 16.10 seconds and was 15 seconds ahead of runner-up Grant Dunsbergen of Pella Christian.

“It is great to see him do what he is doing. To almost PR on our hilly course is fantastic,” Karr said. “He has more left, but we need to get someone for him to run with him. He can run with those gators and golf carts and try to catch them, but it is BOYS | 3B

won all three. From what I gathered from these former players, they chased perfection in their work ethic as teammates during practices and on game nights. They caught excellence as a team.

Several of the players from the 1966 CIC championship team will be attending a reunion Friday. Newton High will honor the team on the 50th anniversary of the title run between the freshman and varsity football games at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

Newton’s 2016 football team is 4-0 in its first year back in the state’s Class 4A ranks in a few years. The Cardinals are one of six undefeated teams standing in 4A heading into district play.

Top-ranked West Des Moines Valley, which is in 4A District 4 with Newton, is 4-0.

Newton takes on Marshalltown, (1-3) while Valley hosts Fort Dodge, which is 3-1, on Friday. Indianola (22) plays at Southeast Polk (1-3) in the other District 4 game.

Posting a perfect record this season might not be possible for Newton. These Cardinals are going to go

for it no matter what. In the mold of the 1966 Newton football squad, the current NHS players are all about the team.

There’s another perfect team in the area right now. Lynnville-Sully’s football team is one of nine Class A teams undefeated after four weeks of action.

The Hawks are 4-0 overall and 2-0 in Class A District 6 play. New London (3-1) is also 2-0 in District 6 play.

I’ve never been perfect in any endeavor. I strived for it when I was playing my trumpet, and there were times I was very good but never perfect in my performances. I strive to be perfect in each story I write and with every photo I take, but alas, perfection eludes me.

As with the 1966 Newton players, I go back to work. There are more stories to tell and more moments to capture with my camera. I’ll chase perfection, and maybe just maybe, I’ll catch excellence. I wish the same for all area student athletes and to all who are reading this column.

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — It was odds and evens Thursday at Lynnville-Sully High School in a South Iowa Cedar League conference volleyball match.

Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks ran out of a gas in a five-set match against visiting HLV. The Warriors won the first and third sets while the Hawks netted wins in sets No. 2 and No. 4 to force a deciding fifth set.

The fifth set was odd, so with the pattern holding true, the Warriors claimed the win. HLV handed Lynnville-Sully its second straight conference loss, 2518, 20-25, 25-14, 20-25, 15-2.

Brenna Lanser was credited with 33 digs on the night for the Hawks.

She also delivered 10 kills, one solo block and two assisted blocks at the net. Lanser went 25-of-28 serving with four ace serves.

Carson Fisk put up 19 set assists, and had eight digs. Fisk was 22-of26 at the service line with two ace serves. She had two kills and one block assist.

Olivia Ritter, Shiloh Cunningham and Makenzy Rozendaal each had two kills while McKinley Conover and Jelissa Rozendaal had one kills apiece. Cunningham and Jelissa Rozendaal each made one solo block and one block assist. Ritter made a solo block.

Makenzy Rozendaal went 11-of13 serving with two aces. Rtter and Cunningham each had one ace serve.

Lynnville-Sully fell to 1-3 in SICL action and is 7-6 overall. The Hawks play at 5:30 p.m. Monday against North Mahaska in New Sharon.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Lynnville-Sully’s Brenna Lanser saves the volleyball in play with her back to the net during a recent home match. The Hawks lost at home to HLV on Thursday.

No. 5 Clemson dominates first half, beats Georgia Tech ATLANTA (AP) — The halftime stats were almost comical. Clemson looked as though it was going against the scout team, not a fellow Atlantic Coast Conference school.

Finally, the sort of performance everyone has been expecting from the No. 5 Tigers.

Deshaun Watson threw for 304 yards, including a pair of touchdowns during a dominant first half that carried Clemson to a 26-7 victory over Georgia Tech on Thursday night.

After sluggish wins over Auburn and Troy, and a practice-like rout of FCS school South Carolina State that meant nothing, the Tigers (4-0, 1-0 ACC) won at Georgia Tech

for the first time since 2003 to set up a huge showdown with No. 3 Louisville.

“We came in focused that first half,” Watson said. “We just wanted to finish the deal.”

Watson threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Mike Williams and a 9-yarder to Jordan Leggett with just 4 seconds left before halftime to complete a stunningly lopsided showing that wasn’t entirely reflected in the 23-0 lead. Wayne Gallman added a 1-yard TD run.

At halftime, Clemson was up 347-22 lead in total yards and 19-3 in first downs, having run 56 plays to only 21 for the home team. Georgia Tech (31, 1-1) was outgained 442-124

overall.

“It’s been a long time since we’ve won here,” Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said.

“We’ll take it.”

This was a virtual repeat of last year’s meeting at Clemson, where the Tigers raced to a 3310 halftime lead on the way to a 43-24 victory. Both times, they totally dominated the line of scrimmage.

“They’ve done it to us two years in a row up front,” Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson said. “They kicked our butts.”

Clemson backed off over the final two quarters, and the Yellow Jackets avoided their first home shutout since 1957 when Dedrick Mills scored on a 2-yard run with 13:21 re-

maining.

Even when Georgia Tech came up with a big play, it wound up costing points.

Lance Austin intercepted a pass in the end zone and tried to bring it out — only to be whacked inadvertently by teammate Corey Griffin, knocking the ball loose.

Austin fell on it in the end zone, but that was a safety for Clemson. It was a far cry from a prime-time game last season, when the defensive back returned a blocked field goal 78 yards for a touchdown on the final play to give Georgia Tech a stunning victory of Florida State.

There wouldn’t be an upset on this night.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL

AP Photo New England Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett (7) dives into the end zone for a touchdown past Houston Texans linebacker Max Bullough (53) during the first half Thursday’s NFL game in Foxborough, Mass. The Patriots beat the Texans, 27-0.

Patriots shut out Texans FOXBOROUGH, Mass.

(AP) — Maybe the Texans thought Jacoby Brissett would run out of bounds at the 5 in the first quarter of his first NFL start.

After all, with Tom Brady suspended and Jimmy Garoppolo injured, the Patriots didn’t have any other quarterbacks on the roster to call upon if the 23-year-old rookie got hurt.

But when Brissett broke free around the right side from the Houston 27, he appeared to be cornered by safety Andre Hal inside the 10. Heading for the sideline, Brissett stutter-stepped and let the defender cut in front of him, then slipped through his grasp before diving for the end zone .

“I’m just running until I get stopped,” Brissett said after leading the Patriots to a 27-0 victory over the Houston

Texans on Thursday night. “It went just how we planned it was going to work out. I just had to make one guy miss.”

Asked if he was instructed to be extra careful — to slide or go out of bounds to avoid a big hit — Brissett said, “It’s ‘Take care of yourself.’ So ...”

Coach Bill Belichick said there were no special instructions for the rookie to be cautious. “Like on the touchdown run?” he said dismissively.

Belichick said Brissett made an instantaneous decision, just as all players do on every play.

“That’s why we win games, because players make good decisions,” said Belichick, who tied Curly Lambeau for fourth on the NFL’s alltime regular-season win list with his 226th career victory.

“That’s what we ask them to do.”

Brissett went on to complete 11 of 19 passes for 103 yards, and ran for 48 yards on eight carries as the Patriots took advantage of three Houston turnovers. The 27yard touchdown run was the longest for a Patriots quarterback since 1976.

LeGarrette Blount ran for 105 yards, including a 41-yard touchdown, and the Texans fumbled a pair of kickoff returns to set up one- and twoplay touchdown drives.

Brissett, who came on in relief of Garoppolo against Miami four days ago, became the first rookie quarterback to start for the Patriots since Drew Bledsoe in 1993 — and the first black player to start at QB in franchise history .

It was 15 years minus one day after Bledsoe was knocked out of the game on a hit by Jets linebacker Mo Lewis.

Girls: PCM cruise to title at home meet; Tigerhawks, Hawks finish third, fourth Continued from Page 1B go home from here,” said Hostetter, who won with a time of 21 minutes, 38.08 seconds. “I have a lot of homework to do. This race was much better than my last few races. I wasn’t tired at the beginning of the race so that helped.”

While Hostetter was winning the race, the host Mustangs were taking several of the other top 10 positions.

All seven of PCM’s varsity runners earned medals, which went to the top 25 finishers.

Sophomore Paytan Schut, who qualified for the state meet last season, was the top Mustang finisher. She came in after Hostetter but trailed by nearly a full minute. Schut crossed the finish line in 22:33.09 and bounced back from a week of illness.

“I have been sick for a while. I had to step off the course at our last race, but when I lined up today, I felt good,” Schut said. “I felt like it was going to be a good race. It wasn’t a PR, but it felt good coming off being sick.

“It’s amazing to do this on my home course. The fact that we won makes it even better. I am really proud of the girls on my team, too.”

Schut and her teammates occupied seven of the first 20 positions. Sophomore Kirstin Ives finished fifth in 22:57.94, senior Jayci Vos was sixth in 23:16.29 and sophomore Megan Townley crossed in 12th with a time of 23:54.09.

The final scoring Mustang was junior Baylee Smith, who finished the race in 15th with a time of 24:20.81.

The other two varsity runners were junior Ellie Steenhoek and senior Rachel Stafford, who came across the line in 18th and 20th, respectively.

“We were second place last year to Knoxville. I know they are down a little bit from last year, and we are better, so it was one of those things where we knew we’d have a chance to win,” PCM coach Eric Karr said. “When is it going to click to make us look like a legitimate team? I think tonight was that night. They ran incredibly well.”

PCM won the meet with 33 points.

The Mustangs bested runner-up West Marshall by 24 points. Hostetter helped Colfax-Mingo to a third-place finish, while Lynnville-Sully ended up fourth.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior Baylee Smith, left, and sophomore Megan Townley both earned medals in the PCM Cross Country Invitational on Thursday. Townley finished 12th, while Smith crossed the line in 15th.

The Hawks were led once again by freshman Abby Gruver, who finished 11th in 23:52.07. Christine Nikkel also collected a top-25 medal.

“I think I have done pretty well so far. I am getting used to running the 5K, too,” Gruver said. “My pace is getting better with each race.”

The Tigerhawks placed four runners in the top 30. Freshman Abbey McConeghey was 26th in 25:09.19, sophomore Ilia Hostetter collected a 28th-place tally with a time of 25:15.10 and sophomore Delaney Underwood crossed the line in 30th in 25:21.13.

“Tonight was a big step forward for us,” Colfax-Mingo coach Zach Tomas said. “I am super excited about placing third tonight. To get four in the top 30 is just great.”

Dakota Hostetter has run in three state cross country meets. While she is chasing her fourth this fall, she hopes her teammates will be right there with her.

“I feel like if we can get a little bit better, it will be much easier, but all we have to do is bring it on that day,” Dakota Hostetter said. “I hope we can. It is a lot more fun when we go together as a team.”

Troy Hyde/Daily News Lynnville-Sully’s Abby Gruver and Kristine Nikkel both earned medals at the annual PCM Cross Country Invitational at Gateway Recreation Golf Course on Thursday. Gruver finished 11th, while Nikkel ended up 22nd.

Lynnville-Sully’s Gruver was joined in a medalist position by Nikkel, who placed 22nd with a time of 24:47.59.

Emily Van Gorp crossed the line in 35th in 25:42.13 and Hailey Breeden was 46th in 27:12.79.

The final scoring runner was Ashton Thompson, who placed 53rd in 27:44.04.

The final two varsity runners were

Hailey Scandridge and Lydia Akergren, who placed 54th and 55th, respectively.

The Mustangs won the meet despite not having one of their top runners in freshman Klaire Jungling. Karr said Jungling is battling soreness and was held out as a precaution.

“I am worried about their bodies right now,” Karr said. “We have run some meets with some killer hills.

We need to make sure we are healthy.

We’ll start to think about districts here soon. We need to get past the Knoxville meet first.”

PCM has dealt with injuries and sickness all season. Schut hopes her illness is in the rear view mirror so she can now focus on returning to the state meet.

“This is the race that starts my build up,” Schut said. “Hopefully I can get back there because I like those (state meet) tags hanging from my bag.”

PCM, Colfax-Mingo and Lynnville-Sully all run at 4:45 p.m. Tuesday in Knoxville.

Boys Continued from Page 1B not the same as trying to run with actual runners. We just don’t see enough guys that can run with him on our schedule.”

Ellens was one of three runners to earn individual medals on the night. Colfax-Mingo’s Cameron Warner was 12th, while his teammate, sophomore Cauy Fitch, finished 24th in his season debut. Medals went to the first 25 finishers.

Des Moines Christian won the meet by two points over Knoxville. The Lions put three in the top 15 to finish with 87 points. The Panthers were second with 89 points, while Pella Christian (106), Chariton (148) and West Marshall (154) rounded out the top five.

PCM finished in eighth with 208 points, while Lynnville-Sully (244) was 10th and Colfax-Mingo (264) placed 11th.

Ellens, who moved up to 15th in this week’s Class 2A individual state rankings, has now won five titles this season. His worst finish is third.

Ellens still wants more.

“My expectations have changed. I want to be top 20 at state now for sure,” Ellens said. “I can still get faster.

We’ll just see how it goes. Our team is improving, too.”

The Hawks’ best finisher was Ty Breeden, who placed 39th overall in 20:15.65.

Breeden’s teammates, Jared Craver and Josh Dunsbergen, were 44th and 46th, respectively.

“I felt good today. It was a great day,” Breeden said. “I probably could have passed a few more at the end, but it was still a good race.

“I feel like I can be a little faster. I am trying to break 20 minutes. That’s my next goal.

The other two scoring runners for Lynnville-Sully were Joseph Anderson and Luke Jones, who finished 57th and 63rd, respectively. Cody Gibbs placed 67th and Jim Trettin was 108th as the final varsity runner.

Warner continues to make strides toward becoming the first male state qualifier since C-M coach Zach Tomas took over the program seven years ago. He finished in 19:06.47

in 12th. Fitch ran for the first time this season and crossed the in 19:38.63 for a 24thplace finish.

“I am still getting out too hot. I am an aggressive runner. I am starting to find my pace though,” Warner said. “I want to break 18 minutes by the end of the year. I need to work harder in practice. I’ll have to start being the first one there and the last one to leave.”

The final three scoring runners for the Tigerhawks were

Michael Loney in 82nd, KC Huffman in 94th and Cyden Fitch in 98th. The final two varsity runners were Jacob Frier and Mike Martinez, who finished in 121st and 127th, respectively.

“I was impressed with all of our kids,” Tomas said. “We have been working on finishing races lately, and it paid off today.”

Ellens could be on his way to a second straight state berth in late October. Thursday, he was just happy his was able to win in front of his home fans.

“I wanted to go out with a bang. I don’t feel like a senior to be honest. The fact that this is my last home meet hasn’t

sunk in yet,” Ellens said. “It feels good though. I want to show the community how much PCM cross country is improving.”

After Ellens for PCM was Jason Stafford in 42nd, Brady North in 48th, Jacob Cox in 59th and Caleb Peter was 61st as the final counting runner.

Mark Bruxvoort and Owen Hugen were the final two varsity runners, and they finished 75th and 79th, respectively.

Astrograph

It takes a heightened awareness to find the answers under this current change of sky. The sun has moved from analytical Virgo to balanced Libra. Use all of your observational powers, including your olfactory sense, to solve life’s mysteries. Most people can smell the truth -- if, in fact, the truth is what they really want to know.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.

23). It’s a year of high ambition, and, remarkably, you’ll match your aims. Whoever stimulates that dreamy side of your personality is a true godsend. You’ll appreciate, give to and help the ones who support you, and in return you’ll all be lifted high. January brings

hot discussion and fast travel.

Aquarius and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 6, 44, 29 and 11.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

How have your choices, for better or worse, landed you here? It’s the question you’ll keep asking yourself. In order to make your next move you have to understand your last one.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You haven’t a clue what’s coming, and the surprise of that makes life interesting for you. A fantastic new circle of friends will celebrate your ideas and support your plans.

We are currently accepting applications for employees who enjoy interacting and caring for seniors in a Christian based environment

At Newton Furniture we are committed to providing our customers with the best service possible, and are looking to hire full-time, non-commissioned sales people who share this philosophy.

Part time CNA-varied hours Full time Dietary Aide Full time Care Attendant-varied hours

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). In the same way that flowers can’t recognize their own beauty and grizzly bears don’t think of themselves as ferocious, you have this talent that’s so close to you that you can’t even see it.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

How will you control the wild energy? Never doubt that there’s a way to tame and direct it to create huge beauty in the world. A Sagittarius or Aquarius will be your ally in this endeavor.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s more than a cliche: Everyone is busy. It’s almost gotten to the point of being a contest -- not a contest you’d want to win, though. Clear some space. Somehow, when you

are less busy, you’ll get more accomplished.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Someone is pressuring you to move before you are ready.

Don’t buy into that person’s time frame; you have your own! That someone has a different sense of pacing doesn’t make your pace wrong.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Needing to be the best can help you break records and push back limitations. It can also create the kind of tunnel vision that disables you to see the bigger picture. Be extra mindful of the space and feelings of those around you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

It’s not always easy to let go of the baggage. The current nug-

2400 First Avenue East • Newton, Iowa 50208 SM-NE8142414-1003

get of emotional dead weight you’re trying to drop might require more work. Celebrate your small steps.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Brainstorm. You’ll have a good sense, when all is said and done, what the best ideas really were. Allowing yourself that space to explore, well, that’s crucial. The elements will fall in place and you’ll do very well.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s nothing quite so poignant as outgrowing your mentor, parent or teacher. This is what you’re facing now -- the bittersweet goodbye to your wide-eyed point of view.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’re trying to go back, and

yet there is no “back.� All your opinions are changing. What happened then will be colored by what you now know, which is a lot more and better.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). If a partner is looking for reasons your relationship won’t work out, this is a sign that it won’t -- though not for the reasons they reach for. You’re better than this. You’ll be blessed when heavy baggage leaves your life.
