Second juvenile charged in Newton burglaries

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A second juvenile accused of burglarizing three Newton homes has been located and charged.

Newton Police arrested the 16-year-old after locating him at approximately 8 p.m. Thursday in the 1800 block of First Street North. He is charged with three counts of third-degree burglary for burglaries that occurred last week on the west side of Newton.

The police department had responded to three daytime burglaries in which items such as electric guitars, jewelry, game systems and cash were reported stolen from the residences.

During the burglaries, the two juveniles were seen casing one of the homes and removing a

screen from a window.

After the burglaries occurred, they were also seen walking away from the homes, carrying the stolen items reported stolen, according to the NPD. A search warrant was served at a home in the 800 block on South Second Avenue East and part of the stolen property was found at that time.

A 17-year-old male juvenile was charged Tuesday in connection to the burglaries after additional property was found at his home.

The 16-year-old juvenile was taken to the Central Iowa Juvenile Detention Center in Eldora on a previously issued juvenile detention order.

Newton wins All-Star Community award Newton Daily News The Iowa League of Cities recognized the City of Newton as the 2015 People’s All-Star Community at the League’s Annual Conference & Exhibit, which was held in Cedar Rapids from this week.

In August, the League named Elkader, Sheldon and Waterloo as All-Star Communities after a panel of judges evaluated applications based on innovative efforts in areas such as urban renewal, development, preservation, collaborative efforts or quality of life improvements.

Beginning Aug. 24, a second round of judging began on Facebook to determine the winner of the People’s All-Star Community. Newton was among 10 communities to compete in the head-to-head, bracket-style competition.

Wyre, Adams crowned at NHS homecoming

Football game set for 7:30 p.m. Friday vs. Gilbert

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A homecoming week filled with Dr. Seuss quotes and memories that will last a lifetime were what Newton High School students generated this week.

NHS students, along with other students in town, are celebrating homecoming week, with the 2015-16 theme being a play on a Dr. Seuss book title, “Oh, The Places You’ll Go .... at NHS.” Thursday was probably the most full day of the week in terms of community involvement, with the coronation, a Berg Middle School pep rally, as well as

the traditional parade and courthouse pep rally all being held.

A pep rally was slated for Friday morning. The Cardinal football team will be aiming for its first win of the 2015 season when it hosts 3-1 Gilbert at 7:30 p.m. Friday at H.A. Lynn Stadium. The homecoming dance is set for 8:45 p.m. Saturday in the school’s lower gym.

Newton High senior Kate Wyre was crowned homecoming queen at Thursday’s late-morning coronation ceremony in the NHS upper gym. The crown was placed on her head by homecoming king and fellow senior Chet Adams, who had received

his crown moments earlier.

All 20 queen and king homecoming candidates members were introduced at the coronation Thursday, with Dr. Seuss quotes mixed in. In addition to Wyre and Adams, the court includes Elise Axtell, Adrienne Berman, Grace Coen, Emily Fitzgerald, Frances Lucas, Taylor Moon, Jaci Reeves, Hannah Rhoads, Leela Spencer, Joseph Banfield, Jacob Bennett, Derek Damman, Duncan Lee, Dalton Nevels, Grant Nook, Cole Peters, Bryce Tish and Benton Vest.

Last year’s homecoming king, Chris Thorpe, wasn’t able to make it back from college in Ohio to

attend the coronation, but 2014-15 queen McKenna Heisdorffer, a University of Northern Iowa freshman, was a participant in Thursday’s ceremony.

The court traveled to the middle school, along with cheerleaders, the Cardinal Regiment band and the Pacesetters dancers for an afternoon pep rally. Weather cooperated for the parade and pep rally, with no rain despite threatening skies.

The NHS seniors’ “Lorax” float took first place in awards given out after the parade.

Newton Fall Fest to conclude farmers’ market season

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Alex Olp/Daily News Baxter Fire Department was the first responder to a house fire which resulted in no injuries north of Mingo Thursday morning. According to Baxter Fire Chief Dan Ritter, the homeowners called 911 at 10 a.m. after hearing electrical pops from their attic.

As a way to highlight the final Newton Farmers’ Market of 2015, Newton Fall Fest is planned with vendors, kid’s activities, giveaways, music and more.

Newton Main Street along with the Jasper County Farm Bureau will be hosting the free celebration from 4 to

7 p.m. Tuesday on the Newton square.

“Part of what we do is to provide education about the diversity of agriculture while enriching our communities. This is one of the primary reasons we approached Newton Main Street about this project,” said Trish Hafkey, of the Jasper County Farm Bureau.

“It was brought to our attention that Newton

previously held a widely popular ‘Farm to City’ night. Based off this initial concept, we wanted to work with the community to provide an opportunity for families to interact with local agriculturists, visit the local farmers’ market, have interactive and fun children’s activities and just enjoy downtown Newton.”

Home lost, no injuries in Mingo fire

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News No injuries were reported in the aftermath of a Thursday morning house fire near Mingo, but fire crews said the one-story unit was a total loss.

Loud pops were reported at the rural Jasper County home at 8986 W. 108th St. N. just before 10 a.m. by the homeowners. Initial reports that an explosion started the fire were unfounded.

Baxter Fire Chief

Dan Ritter said on scene he believes the fire was caused by faulty electrical wiring and originated in the attic. It took fire crews from five area departments 2.5 hours to get the blaze under FIRE | 3A

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News To celebrate a productive year at the Newton Farmers’ Market, Fall Fest is planned for the final market Tuesday. The new event is highlighted by the Hawkeye Pedal Pull Contest and Randy Burk and the Prisoners taking the stage at 5:30 p.m.

Calendar What’s happening for the week of Sept. 28 - Oct. 2

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News During the week of Sept. 11, Aurora Heights Elementary School students wrote letters to Principal Jim Gilbert regarding positive things they’d done to help someone.

Aurora Heights students write about positive elements on 9/11 Students discuss ways they’ve helped others

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Teaching children about the events of Sept. 11, 2001 and their meaning is a difficult and serious business.

As memorials, remembrances and other events become more prevalent each year, educators are left with tough tasks regarding which details to include, and how to frame lessons in ways a targeted age group can understand.

At Aurora Heights Elementary school this year, students were asked to write about a topic not directly related to the attacks. Instead, with the unselfish acts of 9/11 first responders in mind, the fourth-, fifth- and sixthgrade students were asked to talk about things they’ve done recently to help others.

Aurora Heights Principal Jim Gilbert seemed pleased with the writing that developed from the assignments.

Some wrote out their experiences in the form of a formal letter to Gilbert, while others penned theirs as more of a simple, succinct note.

“As a part of focusing on ‘good things’ to commemorate 9/11, students were asked to write about something good they have done for someone else,” Gilbert said. “Their writings were submitted to me a few days later.”

Many of the writings have to do with family. While getting along with one’s siblings isn’t always the easiest task, many Aurora Heights students wrote about family and the importance of helping siblings with chores and more personal daily items.

One student wrote about giving up a snow-cone at a summer event for a younger child who didn’t have one.

Another wrote about helping mow the lawn of some neighbors who were out of town, and another mentioned petting and comforting a weary and ailing family dog.

Being ready to volunteer to step in and help with chores — without prompting — is exactly the type of

first-responder type of unselfishness some teachers try to convey in discussing 9/11.

One student wrote “I helped my sister with the rest of the dirty dishes, and she didn’t even ask.”

Gilbert had been out of the everyday campus setting for about 10 years, since the last time he was a school principal role came to an end.

He agreed to add the Aurora Heights principal role to his existing duties as director of K-8 curriculum this year as a cost-cutting move for the district this year, and he said he didn’t realize how much he missed the everyday interaction with students.

Gilbert said the lesson about doing something nice for others is important, but so is realizing the importance of the ways 9/11 changed and reshaped the world.

“For these students, it probably seems like it happened a long time ago,” Gilbert said. “For most of us, it doesn’t seem like 9/11 was long ago at all.”

NCEF alumni foundation raises money for athletics

By Mark D. Hallam Newton High School Alumni Association Fans of the Newton Cardinals and visitors to H.A. Lynn Stadium will notice something new on the west side of the stadium this fall: large, lighted signs acknowledging major contributions to the Newton Community School District.

Trustees from the Newton Community Educational Foundation canvassed local businesses to determine interest in onetime contributions to Newton Cardinal Sports and Activities. To date, five area businesses have offered major contributions in the amount of $10,000 each: Clemon-Maki Insurance, Edward Jones, Eye Care Center of Newton, Manatts Construction Company, and Van Maanen Electric. The signs were created by Sign Pro of Newton.

Revenue will be donated directly to Newton Cardinal Sports and Activities to enhance opportunities for Newton students.

Since 1990, the Newton Community Educational Foundation has supported innovative educational programs in Newton schools. The foundation provides funding for projects which go “beyond the basics” to create enriched learning experiences for every student. Financed entirely through donations, nearly $500,000 has been awarded for classroom grants and special projects.

Updates on the Foundation’s impact on opportunities for Newton students are available in the NHS Alumni Association’s semi-annual magazine, Alumni News. Friends and supporters of Newton schools can discover Alumni News, and read excerpts online, at NewtonAlumni.org and Facebook.com/NewtonIowaAlumniNews.

Space remains available for additional signs at H.A. Lynn Stadium. Interested donors may contact foundation trustees Mark Allen at mallen4835@hotmail.com or 641-792-2525, or Bruce Hoffmeier at bkhoff@iowatelecom.net.

The time I spent two days with five farmers

By Kate Malott Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Sept. 25, 2015

Editor’s note: This column originally appeared in the Oct. 24, 2013.

The past few weeks, I’ve been working on a project for our Central Iowa Ag Magazine that comes out the first week of November.

My assignment was to interview five area farmers about the harvest, their expectations, this year’s growing season and how it compared to years past.

I had put it off, which was a terrible idea, but I did. I’m not sure why I was hesitant, but it probably had to do with assuming it was going to be challenging. It wasn’t the greatest season for farmers, you know.

In fact, I put it off so long, I forgot about it. What farmer would want to take the time to talk to a young city girl during harvest and have their photo

taken? I had to find five, and I did.

What I found out was that this year’s obscene weather, from snow in May to drought in August, caused for an unusual season, but that farmers are strong. They’re mentally and physically prepared to adapt and adjust to any situation without complaints.

I also found this assignment to be the one of the most personally rewarding assignments this year.

I went to five farms in two days and met with five accommodating, kind, generous, hard-working and intelligent men. The farms were north of Newton, south of Newton, south of Baxter, east of Kellogg and north of Sully, and they were gorgeous. I met relaxed farm dogs, road around in trucks

and tractors and stood on a field being harvested. I felt like a kid on a field trip again, except this time, I arranged the trip and I was alone. The travel alone had filled my soul with appreciation, pride and nostalgia.

One of the farmers invited me into his truck because it was warm and we went on a land tour. We talked about the untimely passing of someone we both knew, which led us to open up about life and even more personal losses.

I shared with him the passing of my father when I was 4 and he told me about the sudden death of his 18-year-old granddaughter, one who he didn’t get the chance to say goodbye to before being coma induced. While reflecting, he said something I’ll never forget.

“Not being able to say good-

bye is hard. That’s why we ought to be doing it every day.”

Words like these are lessons we can only learn through experience. It’s the outcome of a flood of pain and heartbreak. It was the truest, sincerest quote I heard from anyone in awhile.

After the interview, I left that farm feeling so enriched and satisfied beyond any expectations.

The other four farmers I met were just as insightful, interesting and open, and I thought to myself, “Why did I put this assignment off again?”

Sometimes, life surprises you, and if you’re lucky, it will be in ways that inspire you to learn more, live more and love more.

The Uprising

A fight over waterways

Letter to the Editor

Pipeline a boon for union workers

Ron Prymek Carlisle As a longtime union worker, I would like to state my support for the Dakota Access Pipeline.

As many people may know, the company building this pipeline has committed to using local

union halls to find the men and women to construct this important infrastructure project. Many of the folks that will working on this project will be friends and neighbors from right here in Newton.

Unions help ensure a safe workplace, good benefits, and equal opportunity. Projects built by union labor such as the Dakota Access

Pipeline should be encouraged in our state. The paychecks earned by these men and women will be reinvested into the local business here, and the millions of dollars in tax revenue collected by the state during and after construction will help our economy grow, while helping Americans secure energy independence. I urge the IUB to review and approve this project.

Another View

Horton Hears a Who (Again)

By Kathleen Rogers One of my favorite Dr. Seuss books is a story about an elephant named Horton who hears a speck of dust calling to him, a speck that turns out to be a tiny imperiled planet with a town called Whoville. The mayor of Whoville implores Horton to save them and Horton agrees to protect the tiny planet, believing and repeating his mantra that “a person’s a person, no matter how small.” Horton faces enormous ridicule when he tries to enlist other animals to help him. Not content to let him save the world and the people on it, these animals actively try to destroy the speck that Horton carefully carries around. As the situation in Whoville deteriorates, the citizens of Whoville begin to scream, “We are here. We are here,” in the hope that the deniers will listen. Despite their best efforts, the people of Whoville cannot make enough noise and it looks like it’s over. In a last minute save, the Mayor of Whoville finds his son, the town’s slacker JoJo, and takes him to the Eiffleberg Tower. JoJo lets out a scream and Horton’s tormentors finally hear the Whos and agree to help Horton save the planet.

The book was written in 1954,

years before the words climate change were written, yet no one failed to catch his drift even back then. In his view and in the eyes of many, our tiny world was in danger, and no one was listening.

The issues had different names, less clear science, and fewer and less powerful deniers. And despite the passage of time, sixty two years after Horton first appeared, the situation is pretty much the same.

In the modern day version of the story, however, the deniers are organized and efficient. Like the Chairman of Whoville, who declares that “Nothing ever goes wrong in Whoville. It never has, and never will. You blathering boob,” deniers know that the number one way to preserve the status quo is to bully, lie, obfuscate and distract. Why do they do this? Not because they are uneducated, stupid, or nonbelievers. In fact, the leaders of the climate deniers’ movement know that climate is real and that the world’s systems are deteriorating.

The reason they lie and obfuscate is to confuse the people of Whoville. Denying gives them time, it allows them to preserve the status quo so they can maintain power and make money. It is as simple as that.

Enter a modern day Horton.

Like Horton, Pope Francis has heeded the calls of the residents of Whoville. He believes that the earth is imperiled and that it is urgent. Above all, Pope Francis believes that “a person’s a person, no matter how small,” that we all matter. While in Washington, D.C. he spoke to a joint session of Congress encouraging disbelievers to take a leap of faith and heed the words of his encyclical.

Below the Capitol steps, a fancy ticketed event will be played out on the West Lawn, full of donors and the power brokers. But beyond them on the National Mall, possibly hundreds of thousands of Whoville residents were there, including the faithful, survivors of climate disasters, immigrants who are seeking a home, poor people who just want to succeed, and the increasing numbers of disenfranchised, all hoping to be heard from the bottom of the Hill on our tiny imperiled planet. Heeding the Pope’s words, we will be shouting, hoping to convince the nonbelievers and deniers that they should try to save Whoville, and letting them know that we are here. We are here.

Environmental groups and Democratic legislators are pressuring New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo to say that General Electric must continue cleaning up the massive p o l l u - By David Sirota tion the company dumped into the Hudson River from 1947 to 1977. Cuomo’s own environmental officials say the pollution continues to cause “ongoing contamination,” and federal officials warn that GE’s plan to end its cleanup this fall could harm the effort to restore the river’s ecosystem.

But the Democratic governor — who has benefited from GE’s campaign cash — is declining to say whether he agrees.

In comments to reporters in Albany earlier this month, the governor said he thinks the company should “follow the law and the agreements that have been made.” Under the 2002 agreement in question, GE is planning to shut down its cleanup operations at the end of 2015 — which, environmental groups claim, will leave behind at least 35 percent of the carcinogenic polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) the company dumped into the river during the mid20th century.

“I know there are claims for (GE) to do more above and beyond that,” Cuomo said of the request by legislators and environmental groups. But, he added, “I haven’t really looked into that.”

Conservation groups said that unless Cuomo takes action, the cleanup of one of the nation’s biggest environmental disasters will end prematurely, leaving carcinogenic PCBs in New York’s largest waterway.

“Governor Cuomo has a crucial role to play, given New York’s role as a trustee of the Hudson River natural resource, contaminated for decades by GE’s toxic chemicals,” said Ned Sullivan, who runs the environmental group Scenic Hudson. Sullivan served as an environmental official in the administration

of Mario Cuomo, Andrew Cuomo’s father. “This is a legacy issue for Governor Cuomo. He will either use his authority and persuasive powers to push GE to perform a comprehensive cleanup, or he will leave the Hudson and upstate economy damaged for future generations.”

Democratic state Sen. Brad Hoylman — who wrote legislators’ letter to Cuomo asking him to support an ongoing cleanup — said the governor’s comments will not deter the campaign to force GE to continue the dredging.

“This doesn’t change the fact that GE has only completed 65 percent of its cleanup of the Hudson,” Hoylman told International Business Times. “I’ll continue to work with my colleagues, environmental groups and local communities to make sure GE finishes its cleanup of one of our state’s most treasured natural resources.”

GE has called its operations “one of the largest and most successful environmental cleanup projects ever undertaken in the United States.” But Margaret Byrne, an official at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service who is the agency’s assessment and restoration manager for the Hudson River, raised questions about GE’s plan to shut down its dredging operations.

Her agency recently released a report showing that groundwater in some upstate towns remains contaminated by GE’s chemicals. Without GE’s dewatering facility, she told IBTimes, “the additional removal of contaminated sediments would be less feasible.”

While Cuomo declines to offer a clear position on GE’s cleanup efforts, he has been outspoken in his support for the company, which has donated more than $400,000 to political groups backing the governor.

In recent weeks, Cuomo has offered GE $50 million in taxpayer subsidies for a planned packaging facility in upstate New York. Those subsidies were not contingent on GE removing all PCBs from the Hudson River, which inspired criticism from some Democratic lawmakers.

Police Blotter Newton Police Department • Justin W. DeKoning, 24, of Newton, is charged with simple misdemeanor trespass and simple misdemeanor interference with official acts after authorities were called to 702 First Ave. W. at 10 p.m. Monday. Officers went to the Newstar convenience store

and found DeKoning inside.

They spoke with employees who said that DeKoning was inside the store, staring at the cashier, and they were unsure what he was doing. The officers asked DeKoning to begin his shopping or leave the store. He refused to leave the store and eventually decided to

buy two bottles of alcohol. He did not have his identification on him, so he was unable to buy it.

He then was asked to leave several times, and he informed the officers that they could leave. He would not leave and was placed under arrest. He was taken to the Jasper County Jail.

Two heads are no better than one at grocery store checkout DEAR ABBY: There are no words to express how disappointed I am at the education kids receive now and still graduate with “honors.” I was at the grocery store a short time ago. Two young ladies working there just completed their freshman year at the local college. One of them had been on the honor roll all through high school.

I bought four packages of gravy mix that were on sale — four packages for $1. As the cashier rang it up, I noticed that she had entered them at 44 cents apiece. When I brought it to her attention, she asked the other cashier if that was right. She asked, “Forty-four cents, wouldn’t that be four for $1?” The other one picked up a calculator to find the answer.

Can you tell me, what did this honor student learn in school? Both girls are in college. My heart is broken for our kids. Maybe we need to go back to teaching like when I was a kid. Just call me ... GRANDPARENT IN TEXAS DEAR GRANDPARENT: Frankly, your letter leaves me at a loss for words. I can only say that the problems with our educational system will not be resolved in an advice column. Readers?

DEAR ABBY: I was sober for a year when I met my husband. Neither my alcoholism nor my 24 years of perfect sobriety have ever caused any upset for anyone in his family.

His niece will be married later this year in a winery in another state. The thought of it makes me anxious, and I am opting to not attend with my husband.

Abby, I am not a “special” aunt, and I have no place in the wedding, which will be large. Some family members think I’m being selfish, but I believe I am my first responsibility.

They are not the sort you can talk to,

so please advise. Am I being selfish?

— VERY SAD IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR VERY SAD: Not in my opinion. Your reason for not attending makes sense to me, and it’s not “selfish” to skip an event at which you would not be comfortable. If you send your husband — and a nice wedding gift — I’m sure the bride will forgive your absence. And for those who would hold it against you, “remind” them that although you have maintained your sobriety for many years, it can’t be taken for granted because sobriety is a day-today challenge for people with alcoholism.

DEAR ABBY: My friend and I have a disagreement. We do crossword puzzles together at the dog park. She says using a thesaurus/ dictionary is cheating. I say that if I look something up and then write it down, I’m learning. What say you, Abby? — WILLIAM IN OCEANSIDE, CALIF. DEAR WILLIAM: I agree with you. For this friend to shame you because you need a little help with the answers isn’t very nice. The next time she says it, smile and ask her what a five-letter word with a “t” in the middle is.

Light agenda on tap for NCSD board

Newton man charged in drug task force arrest

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

A somewhat light agenda has been set for Monday evening’s Newton Community School District board meeting.

The meeting, to be held at 6:30 p.m. Monday at Emerson Hough, won’t feature any major action items. In fact, there are only a handful of action items on the agenda at all.

Monday’s meeting will be the first full meeting for new board members Ann Leonard and Josh Cantu, who were sworn in to their four-year terms at the Sept. 14 meeting.

One item involves pre-approval to for Newton High School’s Distributive Education Clubs of America (DECA) to travel out of state. The annual DECA International Career Development Conference is slated for April 23-26, 2015 in Nashville, Tenn.

Discussion items include the professional development calendar for the remainder of the 2015-16 school year, to be presented by Director of K-8 Curriculum Jim Gilbert. The basic pattern of the district’s calendar for this year is to designate the final Monday of each month as a student-free day, to be used for professional development sessions.

Jasper County Conservation’s Greg Oldsen and Katie Cantu will discuss classroom and field-trip programs.

A Newton man faces several charges, including possession with intent to deliver more than 5 grams of methamphetamine after a drug search was conducted by the Mid-Iowa Narcotics Enforcement Task on Tuesday.

Leonard “Lenny” Delorenzo, 64, is also charged with possession of a firearm as a felon, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia after a search warrant was administered at 609 S. Third. Ave. E. Delorenzo Officers from the Newton Police Department and the task force executed the drug search warrant; Delorenzo was then taken to the Jasper County Jail where he is being held on a $66,300 bond.

The Mid-Iowa Narcotics Enforcement Task Force is based in Des Moines and includes the Jasper, Mahaska and Marion County sheriff ’s offices and Knoxville, Newton and Pella Police Departments.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Newton Community School District board member Director of K-8 Curriculum Jim Gilbert is one of the people scheduled to make a presentation at Monday’s regular board meeting. The meeting, to be held at Emerson Hough, is set for 6:30 p.m.

Director of Business Services Gayle Isaac will discuss the district’s Certified Annual Report.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan will discuss a teacher survey report, finalization of the bond committee and the first-quarter enrollment summary. Callaghan mentioned at the Sept. 14 meeting that the “snapshot” date for helping to certify the district’s enrollment that determines 2016-17 funding will be Thursday, Oct. 1.

Several donations to the district will be acknowledged. The board

will hear an update on the administration building remodeling project.

The 6 p.m. Board Learning Leadership session, which will take place before Monday’s meeting, will feature a presentation by teacher Deb Rose, chairperson of Newton’s Teacher Leadership & Compensation Grant Committee.

The board’s next regular meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. on Oct. 12 at Emerson Hough.

INDEPENDENCE, Mo. (AP) — A class-action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of anyone who bought diesel-engine Volkswagens in Iowa.

The Independence, Mo. law firm of Humphrey, Farrington & McClain said Thursday it filed the lawsuit on behalf of Zachary Gall, of Independence, who bought a 2011 Volkswagen Jetta from a dealership in Iowa City.

It follows similar lawsuits filed in other states this week after Volkswagen acknowledged rigging emissions technology on its diesel vehicles to pass air-quality tests. The lawsuit says Gall is suing for breach of warranty and violation of the Iowa Consumer Frauds Act. Attorney Kevin Stanley said in a news release that Volkswagen committed fraud against the owners.

Iowa Supreme Court to hear oral arguments in Newton Newton Daily News DES MOINES — On Oct. 14, the Iowa Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in Newton. The proceeding will take place in the Newton High School Auditorium, 800 E. Fourth St. S. The oral arguments are open to the public and will begin at 7 p.m.

The court will hear attorneys argue in one

case: Hutchison, et al. v Warren County Board of Supervisors, et al.

Former employees of Warren County contend the Warren County Board of Supervisors violated Iowa’s “open meetings law,” Iowa Code chapter 21, when individual supervisors met separately with the county administrator, serving as a go-between, to deliberate a proposed

restructuring of the county workforce. The district court determined there was no open meetings violation because there was no gathering of a majority of supervisors. A question before the supreme court is whether “walking quorums” or “serial communications” constitute a “gathering” within the definition of “meeting” in Iowa’s open meetings law.

Attorneys’ briefs for

the cases and a guide to oral arguments are posted on the Iowa Judicial Branch website at www. iowacourts.gov/About the Courts/Supreme Court/Offsite Oral Arguments Newton/index. asp A public reception with the supreme court justices will follow the oral arguments in the Newton High School commons.

Cardinal harriers compete at Indianola

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News INDIANOLA — Homecoming activities put a bit of crimp in Newton High’s cross

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Noah Sander, a junior, competed for Newton in Thursday’s Indianola Invitational.

country teams’ competition at Thursday’s Indianola Invitational.

The Newton girls had three runners, all competing in the varsity race. Newton’s boys ran seven in the junior varsity race.

Tessa Keeton finished 22nd in the girls’ varsity 5K race in 22 minutes, 23 seconds. Ellie Horn was 38th in 23:41 and Michaella Cope placed 57th in 27 minutes.

“We were small in number, but definitely mighty,” Newton girls’ coach Rachelle Tipton said. “All three girls ran terrific and had personal best times.

“Tessa had a fantastic second half of the race. She found a couple girls to go with and pull her along and then beat them to the finish. Ellie and Michaella showed how tough they are Thursday night. It was a beautiful evening, a good course and a great race to follow up the home meet.”

Taylor Brown led Ankeny Centennial to the team title by winning the girls’ race in 19:50.

Ankeny Centennial score 23 points and Pella was a distant

second with 61 points. There were eight full teams and 57 runners competing in the race.

In a very crowded junior varsity boys’ race, Newton took ninth among 14 teams.

The Cardinals scored 245 points. There were 336 runners in the race.

“Conflicts with homecoming parade kept our numbers low,” Newton boys’ coach Steve Weeks said. “I elected to compete only a junior varsity squad so we can recover from a very tough home meet earlier on Tuesday.”

Jack Callaghan led the Cardinals with a 14th-place time of 18:39 in the 5K race. Noah Sander was the No. 2 runner for Newton, taking 58th in 19:40. Dylan Main placed 69th in 19:52.

Adam Hunter placed 145th in 21:06 followed by Ross Hull in 148th at 21:09.

Zach Theis finished 152nd in 21:13 and Blake Robson was 294th in 24:30.

Mustang girls finish 2nd, C-M 7th at PCM Invite

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — The Prairie City-Monroe girls’ cross country won its first team title in school history earlier this season.

With the addition of two of the Mustangs’ top three runners from last season, PCM coach Eric Karr expects things to get a whole lot better moving forward.

Junior Jayci Vos once again led the Mustangs on Thursday at the PCM Cross Country Invitational, but sophomore Baylee Smith returned to the lineup and junior Rachel Stafford hit the course for just the second time this season.

That trio, along with freshmen Megan Townley and Payton Schut, helped PCM to a runner-up finish at Gateway Golf Course. The Mustangs finished with 53 points, trailing Knoxville by 18 points.

The top 25 finishers received medals, which included six of the Mustangs’ seven varsity runners. Freshman Morgan Uhlenhopp was 26th overall.

“The goal is to get to state. Our team won a meet this year without us so who knows how good we can be when we are fully healthy,” Stafford said, who finished 17th, cutting around two minutes off her time from her first meet. “Hopefully, we have the rough injury patch out of the way, and we can focus on the rest of the season.”

Stafford was a state qualifier her freshman year.

Now a junior, she ran for the first time Monday at Lynnville-Sully and is still a ways from competing at her highest level, but she is getting better every day.

“I did some swimming to help stay in shape, but I have only been running for about two weeks,” Stafford said. “I haven’t done a full workout at full speed yet, but I improved a lot tonight so hopefully that pattern continues.”

MONROE — Neither Prairie City-Monroe or Colfax-Mingo finished in the upper half of the boys team standings at the PCM Cross Country Invitational at Gateway Golf Course on Thursday.

But it’s not how you start a season, it’s how you finish.

With plenty of time left in the season to trim times and move up in team standings, Colfax-Mingo coach Zach Tomas and PCM coach Eric Karr are confident that their squads will be where they need to be when they compete at the state qualifier on Oct. 22.

The Pressbox

Motivation is key to success Motivate to be self-motivated.

That’s the mantra of every coach and teacher, isn’t it?

Along the way someone in each of our lives has inspired us to work harder, reach higher and do the extra steps needed to do our best for ourselves, our classmates and By Jocelyn teammates.

Sheets Me. I had Newton Daily a couple such News teachers plus my Sports Editor parents. It was my high school English teacher who told me I had the potential to write. She inspired me to read beyond the assignments.

Reading words helps you to write words. She was harder on me than any other student in the class, but I respected her and still do.

Coaches need to motivate athletes to be self-motivated.

Work has to be done in the off-season by athletes and coaches to turn programs around.

Being “in” the weight room is not motivating athletes to come in and work hard. Coaches need to reach out to athletes. Nowadays, it’s harder than ever to get past the hours youth spend on electronic devices — phones, video game systems and the like.

Don’t make excuses for them.

Find out why they miss a workout session during the summer. Go beyond, just like you ask your athletes to do when they play.

We all have to ask ourselves — are we doing our best to provide our youngsters opportunities to be competitive? Have we found the right offense, defense, the right workout schedule, the right type of play — running power, passing, spread, runand-gun, man-to-man defense — to put the kids in position to be successful?

Being successful is not just about wins and losses. It’s about wanting to do better the next time, to strive for that next step.

Athletes, I’m not forgetting about you.

You have to take advantage of coaches being in the weight room, being there to teach offense and defense during the summer.

Don’t give excuses. Do the work and reap the reward.

Participate.

Motivate.

As a photojournalist, you never promise someone their photo will be in your publication. You take photos, you take names and the best photos go in.

Well, Tuesday, I broke that rule. So here’s a special shout out to Dakota Gooden, a seventh-grader at Berg Middle School, who ran in Tuesday’s cross country meet at Westwood Golf Course. Sorry, Dakota, I thought I had a photo of you in focus running past me. I didn’t. That’s why I usually never promise someone their photo will be in the paper. Keep up the work.

Speaking of work, my Kansas City Royals have gone through a September Swoon. Thank goodness they were darn good early on and built a large lead in the American League Central Division race. They need to pull themselves out of this funk with only a few regular season games remaining. Playoffs are coming and they need to by ready.

Tigerhawks end skid with rout of English Valleys

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — The Colfax-Mingo volleyball team has used its homecourt as an advantage this season.

The Tigerhawks got their first win in South Iowa Cedar League play last week when they defeated Sigourney in five games.

A week later, Colfax-Mingo ended a five-match losing streak with another strong performance at home. This time, the Tigerhawks drubbed English Valleys in three sets, winning 25-4, 25-9, 25-16.

Sophomore Ries Wilson led the Tigerhawks’ attack with 14 kills, five aces and six digs. She had a kill efficiency of .591.

Sophomore Megan Earles delivered 25 assists, six digs and four aces, while freshman McKeely Tjaden contributed six kills. Freshman Chelsea Russell ended up with 11 digs and two aces.

Junior Dakota Hostetter, battling an injured ankle, was limited to front-row play only and finished with five kills and five digs in the win.

The win improves Colfax-Mingo to 4-8 overall and 2-3 in SICL play.

English Valleys dropped its seventh straight match and is 2-13 overall and 0-5 in conference play. All 15 matches for English Valleys have been sweeps.

Mustangs swept by Greene County in HOIC road match

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News JEFFERSON — Junior Ashley Van Gorp had five kills, seven digs and was 7-of-8 in serving with one ace, but that effort wasn’t enough during the PCM volleyball team’s threeset loss to Greene County in Heart of Iowa Conference play on Thursday.

The Mustangs also got

three kills and five blocks from sophomore Regan Olson, but Greene County came away with the 25-15, 2516, 25-10 win at home.

Junior Kayla Jennings Jennings dished out 14 assists, while junior Tatum Nearmyer,

sophomore Olivia Lippman and senior Kendal Earley all had four digs.

Freshman Maddie Samson contributed three blocks and three aces, and she was 10-of12 in serves.

The Mustangs (2-13 overall, 1-4 in HOIC) were 34-of-39 in serves. Jennings was 8-of-9 with one ace and Mackenzie Messick was 5-for-5 with one ace.

Giants build lead and hold it, beat Redskins 32-21 EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — Brave words after difficult defeats don’t come close to soothing a losing team’s spirits. Only wins can turn that trick.

The New York Giants didn’t let Washington steal a victory late, finishing off a 32-21 decision Thursday night on Odell Beckham Jr.’s 30-yard touchdown catch and Rueben Randle’s 41-yarder.

The Giants fell apart in the fourth quarter of losses to Dallas and Atlanta. This time, New York (1-2) dominated most of the action against the injury-plagued Redskins (1-2), who lost veteran cornerback DeAngelo Hall to a right leg injury that looked serious.

“It’s definitely important to get a win,” said running back Rashad Jennings, whose blocked punt got things started for New York. “I’m reluctant to use the word confidence, but it puts assurance on everything we know we’re capable of accomplishing.

There’s a lot of stuff we still need to clean up, obviously. But it feels good to get a win.”

The Giants scored in nearly every way possible, beginning with Jennings blocking Tress Way’s punt for a safety on Washington’s opening series.

“Ever since I was a rookie, I’ve always had a knack for blocking punts,” Jennings said. “I can’t give you all my secrets, but you just anticipate. It just worked.”

Andre Williams scored on a 1-yard run, Josh Brown kicked three field goals, and Beckham toasted Bashaud Breeland to settle matters. Randle had a 41-yard touchdown catch in the closing minutes, after which Washington’s Rashad Ross returned the kickoff 101 yards for the final score.

New York also led at halftime

and through three quarters of its losses to the Cowboys and Falcons.

“Players need the reinforcement that comes with closing out the game with a win,” coach Tom Coughlin said.

Prince Amukamara and Uani Unga had interceptions of Kirk Cousins, who struggled once more against New York. Last season, he threw four picks in a loss to New York.

Washington, which has lost five straight to the Giants, got field goals of 44 and 37 yards from Dustin Hopkins, but any thoughts of a comeback ended when Matt Jones fumbled on his way into the end zone with 9 1-2 minutes remaining. A late 4-yard touchdown pass to Chris Thompson and 2-point conversion brought the deficit to 11, then Randle made his scoring catch.

“You go on the road and you play a big division game, a game like this, and you turn the ball over three times and have a punt blocked, and it’s going to be very tough to overcome,” Redskins coach Jay Gruden said.

The victory provides some optimism for the Giants in the muddled NFC East, where Dallas is 2-0 but missing several stars, and Philadelphia is 0-2.

“I felt bad for the first two games,” said Eli Manning, who struggled in key situations in the two losses. “We were right there, could easily have won. To not be at our best in final minutes of a game is frustrating. You have to want to get back in that moment, have success and feel good about yourselves.”

Manning was coolly efficient, finishing 23 of 31 for 279 yards.

Beckham had seven receptions for 79 yards, and Randle had seven for 116.

Nadia Fisher led Greene County (8-11, 2-3) with seven kills, nine digs and was 16-of19 in serving. The Rams won their third straight match.

PCM, which has lost four straight matches, plays in the Nevada tournament on Saturday. Action starts at 8:30 p.m.

Big Ten teams use last nonconference games to clean up acts Eric Olson The Associated Press The last Saturday in September will be the last chance for Big Ten teams to work out their kinks before conference play begins.

Minnesota is desperate for more offense. Nebraska needs better play from its defense.

Even defending national champion and top-ranked Ohio State has problems.

The Buckeyes’ most talked-about issue, of course, has been quarterback. Just as disconcerting to coach Urban Meyer have been the struggles of the players around Cardale Jones and J.T. Barrett.

Meyer, whose team hosts Western Michigan ahead of its conference opener against Indiana, is looking for improvement in all areas from an offense that accounted for 13 points and five turnovers in last week’s 20-13 win over

Northern Illinois.

“One of the worst-executed performances since we’ve been here, so we’ll get that corrected,” Meyer said.

Minnesota (2-1) hopes what’s been a woeful offense starts moving against Ohio before opening Big Ten play at surprising Northwestern.

Injuries have forced shuffling on the offensive line.

As a result, the running game has been stymied and Mitch Leidner has been forced to throw too much. Leidner’s two interceptions in a 10-7 win over Kent State led to calls for him to be replaced. Coach Jerry Kill has offered no hint that will happen.

“Nothing is ever easy, but I think we can certainly improve this week. I really do,” Kill said. “I’m looking for-

ward to it because controversy sometimes makes you better.”

Nebraska (1-2) needs to shore up a pass defense that ranks among the worst in the country before next week’s Big Ten opener at Illinois.

The Huskers will get a good test Saturday against Southern Mississippi’s spread offense.

Some other Big Ten teams’ areas of concern as nonconference play winds down: — Illinois (2-1) had its rushing defense exposed when North Carolina ran for 254 yards.

— Indiana (3-0) has the same problem as always — defense.

The Hoosiers have given up an average of 544 yards and 35 points against undistinguished competition.

— Iowa (3-0) had a punt blocked and threw an interception against Pittsburgh last week. Coach Kirk Ferentz said those areas must be cleaned up.

— Maryland (2-1) seeks more steady play from new starting QB Caleb Rowe, who threw for 297 yards and four TDs against South Florida last week but also was intercepted three times.

— Michigan (2-1) is showing improvement under Jim Harbaugh, though the Jake Rudock-led offense isn’t nearly consistent enough.

— Michigan State (3-0) didn’t close games against Western Michigan and Air Force as strong as coach Mark Dantonio would like. “In both cases, though, we were comfortably ahead so it didn’t cost us anything. In the Oregon game, we needed to finish, and we did,” he said.

— Northwestern (3-0), led

by a stout defense so far, is going to need Clayton Thorson to be better than a 50-percent passer.

— Penn State (2-1) gave up 10 sacks against Temple and none the last two weeks.

Still, the offensive line figures to remain an issue throughout the season.

— Purdue (1-2) has been turnover-prone, and coach Darrell Hazell will give redshirt freshman David Blough his first start against Bowling Green ahead of next week’s visit to Michigan State.

— Rutgers (1-2) has problems everywhere and won’t get much out of playing Kansas. Michigan State and Ohio State are two of the Scarlet Knights’ first three Big Ten opponents.

— Wisconsin (2-1) is humming along, but any injuries along an offensive line that has three new starters could spell ruin.

Boys Continued from Page 1B

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo freshman Ilia Hostetter earned her fourth medal in four meets when she finished Thursday’s PCM Cross Country Invitational at Gateway Golf Course in 20th place.

Girls Continued from Page 1B Vos ended up fourth overall with a time of 23 minutes, 38.44 seconds.

Smith, Townley and Stafford were 15th, 16th and 17th, respectively, and the final counting runner was Schut in 19th. Senior Morgan Novak also earned a medal, finishing in the 25th position.

After Uhlenhopp’s 26th-place finish was sophomore Amaya Hartson, who also returned from injury and finished 33rd in her first meet of the year.

Colfax-Mingo also competed but was without its top runner in Dakota Hostetter, who suffered an ankle injury during volleyball workouts.

Her younger sister, freshman Ilia Hostetter, medaled for the fourth time this season with a 20th-place finish. That helped the Tigerhawks to a seventh-place team finish.

Knoxville won the team title with 35 points. The Panthers claimed positions 8, 10, 11, 12 and 13. Pella Christian (102), Davis County (110) and Centerville (123) rounded out the top five, while Montezuma (144), Colfax-Mingo (154) and Chariton (155) completed the eight-team field.

“Getting some girls back from injury only makes us better as a team, it makes us deeper,” Karr said.

“And we have a new goal now. Can we beat Knoxville at their meet on Tuesday? I think we can. I am happy with where we are at, and I think we just keep getting better and better.”

Ilia Hostetter was clocked at 25:33.79 to lead the Tigerhawks.

The rest of Colfax-Mingo’s lineup included freshman Colleen Craig in 34th, sophomore Morgan McKinney in 38th, freshman Payton Rhone in 41st and freshman Kylie Wellington ran in her first meet of the season and finished in 56th.

“We are so young, and I have to remember that,” Colfax-Mingo coach Zach Tomas said. “I think our best is still yet to come. It’s been a roller coaster ride for a lot of our kids. This was a tough meet, but it will do a lot for us moving forward.”

Both Karr and Tomas have stressed to their teams that they need to look at the big picture. It doesn’t matter what happens right now. What’s more important is how the teams fare on Oct. 22 at the state qualifiers.

“I think they are aware now what I mean by we have to be in shape by Oct. 22,” Karr said. “We have plenty of time to get in shape. That’s why I haven’t been stressed about the times. We just need to keep working.”

Des Moines Christian’s Oksana Covey was the overall winner in 21:57.95. Southeast Warren’s Elise Emmick was next at 22:45.24 and Centerville’s Emily Lewis ended up third in 22:49.17.

Colfax-Mingo runs in the Nevada Invitational at Hickory Grove Park on Monday, while PCM heads to Knoxville on Tuesday.

There was a two-mile junior high race at Thursday’s meet. Here are the area results: 1. Abbey McConeghey, Colfax Mingo, 13:46.37 4. Emma George, PCM, 14:53.15 5. Sayde White, PCM , 14:57.88 8.

have had better times if we hadn’t run Monday, but those are just excuses,” said Tomas, whose team was 10th in the team standings. “We are just going to call this a tough training week. We may not have finished high as a team tonight, but by the end of the year these kids are going to be where we need to be, especially when we get more experience.”

The Tigerhawks’ eight-man roster includes four freshmen, two sophomores and two juniors. And one of those juniors was running for the first time on Thursday.

The Mustangs’ varsity lineup does have a senior, but the roster also features four freshmen.

And as both teams improve with every meet, it’s the coaches that have to remind the athletes that the season’s most important meet, the state qualifier, is still about a month away.

“I want them to start competing in terms of place and not time,” said Karr, whose Mustangs were seventh in the 11team field. “Because when we get to the state qualifier, it’s the top 15 finishers. The times don’t matter.”

PCM’s top runner, Chris Ellens, continued to show that he’s statemeet worthy when he crossed the line in fifth place Thursday. Ellens, a junior, stopped the clock at 18 minutes, 52.54 seconds.

Also earning a medal was Colfax-Mingo’s Cameron Warner, who was running in his first meet of the season. Warner, a junior, was 15th overall as he crossed the line in 19:38.18.

“He paced himself much better tonight than he did at this meet last year, and I was impressed,” Tomas said.

“Our goal for him is to be a state qualifier. I think it’s a realistic goal, and he made a big statement tonight.”

The Mustangs scored 168 points in seventh.

Chariton was the team champion with 73 points.

The Chargers edged Des Moines Christian, which totaled 76 points in second. Davis County was third with 80, Knoxville finished fourth with 108 and Pella Christian rounded out the top-five with 114.

Southeast Warren

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo junior Will Dunsbergen runs in the PCM Cross Country Invitational at Gateway Golf Course in Monroe on Thursday.

(119), PCM (168), Montezuma (216), Centerville (259), Colfax-Mingo (262) and Twin Cedars (277) completed the 11-team field.

PCM sophomore Blake Lee was the first Mustang finisher after Ellens. Lee finished 23rd overall, while senior Trent Howard was 39th, sophomore Brady North was 55th and sophomore Noah Henkenius crossed in 62nd as the final counting position.

The other two varsity runners were junior Mark Bruxvoort (69th) and sophomore Caleb Peter (78th).

“Brady North is a sprinter on the track team, but he came in as our No. 4 tonight, and he looks stronger with every meet,” Karr said. “The last couple of meets have gone really well for Trent Howard, too. He’s running strong.

We are starting to come together as a team, and I think we can start competing better in the team standings here soon.”

Colfax-Mingo freshman Cauy Furgison was the second Tigerhawk to cross the finish line. He was 68th overall, while freshman Nic Duffy was 75th, freshman Caleb Lescaleet finished in 78th and freshman Mike Martinez crossed in 81st

as the final counting position.

Juniors Will Dunsbergen (99th) and KC Huffman (111th) were the other two varsity finishers.

“We had better times as a whole tonight throughout the lineup.

You can tell we have eight kids fighting for seven spots,” Tomas said.

“We have some work to do, but I think we will be where we need to be by the end of the year.”

Des Moines Christian’s Tyler Ketcham was the overall boys varsity winner with a time of 18:07.35.

Chariton’s Luke Evans was next in 18:12.48 and Davis County’s Zach Hougland finished third in 18:22.31.

Colfax-Mingo runs in the Nevada Invitational at Hickory Grove Park on Monday, while PCM heads to Knoxville on Tuesday.

Astrograph

We’re headed for one of the most interesting and immediate astral phenomena for months to come. The upcoming total lunar eclipse will be spectacular. In ancient times, it would have caused mass confusion and cries of “Who took the moon?!” The imaginative Pisces moon is giddy with anticipation. Can you feel your creativity come alive?

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.

25). Later it won’t be hard for you to think of many reasons why this year ranks among the best of times. As you’re experiencing it, you’ll be too involved to take time for such judgments. October is excitement at a fast pace. New

friends help you put together a deal. The domestic changes favor creative thinking. Leo and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 39, 22, 37 and 16.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

These days it’s more difficult than ever to capture and hold anyone’s attention, but you’ll do it well quite by accident today. You’re so interested in your activities that you make other people interested, too.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

When you find yourself in a funky mood, focusing on the ecstatic moments you’ve experienced in your life will help you trample negative thought

patterns like a quarterback headed toward the goal line.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You cast a spell with your bewitching presence, and so you don’t have to do much more than just show up. In fact, when you try to be more engaging, attractive, etc., it works against you. Nonchalance is your secret weapon.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You don’t need a quick anecdote, an instant solution or an extreme cleanse. What you need is a lifestyle change.

It will happen through habit.

Set up the routine and repeat it hundreds of times over. This is the only way.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Truly, you’d rather be the rejected

than the rejecter. You hate to hurt anyone’s feelings. Even when you’re not sure you’re in the mood to socialize, you’ll move forward, make suggestions and initiate plans. Things will pan out perfectly.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Someone is fascinated by you and wants to know what makes you tick. You may find this amusing because you’re not sure that you even know what your motivation is today.

You’ll figure it out together.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

The best and worst of outcomes are often one and the same. Therefore, you’re not completely sure what to hope for. Focus on executing your plan precisely and let the rest surprise you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

There’s no question that you’re more attractive to others when you’re attractive to yourself.

The habit you wish you didn’t have is going to have to go sooner or later, so why not now?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll probably have trouble recalling the good times you’ve experienced -- a sure sign that you need to create a few more of them. This weekend will bring a prime opportunity.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Wouldn’t it be awesome to see wildly, taste in Technicolor and send impulses with your touch? You’ll settle for 10 percent more awareness of your surroundings -- that will

make a beautiful difference.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Some people are better at compartmentalizing their feelings than others. You’ll benefit from your association with one such person and be better off for the example of good internal boundaries.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You don’t experience one emotion at a time. Your emotions mix together like recipes, turning each interaction into a unique and unforgettable concoction.

“Rally” Round the Cards Swing Your Towel 2015 Homecoming With Cardinal Pride Friday, September 25th at Gilbert Newton Cards vs. Gilbert Several years ago, my family was faced with the decision of which nursing facility would best fit our loved ones needs. We believe we made the right choice with Newton Healthcare. They are family-oriented facility who made our difficult situation as comfortable as possible for all concerned. Over the years that has become even better. When we walk in, we find our loved one happy and content the majority of the time, which is special. Realistically, we expect to encounter problems now and then, but when they occur, they are taken care of as quickly as possible and to the best of their ability. The much needed improvements of the entire building are hopefully making things safer, easier and more comfortable for the residents as well as all of the staff. Thanks to the administrative team we have now. I believe they are doing a great job!
