Newton Main Street sets first objectives for future projects

By Jamee A. Pierson Daily News Staff Writer After several months of work, Newton Main Street established their goals and objectives for the next year and beyond. Working in four committees, projects within the objectives were identified after getting input from several different sources in the community and state.

“We feel like we have done our best to get input from as many different stakeholders and viewpoints as possible,” Andrew Bassman, director of Newton Main Street said. Earlier in the year, the public was invited to give input on what potential projects they thought were the most important and deserved the most attention. Bassman also worked with Main Street Iowa to get tips and advice from them and other communities.

“I was given sort of a checklist for what each committee typically

works on,” Bassman said.

Main Street worked with the city through the comprehensive plan to see which items may fall in line with their objectives.

“We’ve talked with city staff on what sort of stuff they would like to see Main Street do,” Bassman said. With all of the information and input from the public, city and state, committee members began work on their goals, objectives and projects within those objectives.

“All of the projects had to meet the objectives established with the help of Main Street Iowa and approved by the Main Street board of directors,” Bassman said.

Each project has a project manager who will oversee the planning, work and completion of the project. The manager has to fill out a MAIN STREET See Page 3A

to create change.

The league’s goal is to improve government and engage citizens by creating an inclusive atmosphere, starting discussions on current events and educating voters. To the league, democracy only works if we participate.

The organization conducts local and national studies about issues such as education, immigration, agriculture and health; they are activists for voter registration, observe meetings such as city council, school

board and the Skiff Medical Center board; and they offer the public opportunities to meet their local politicians at events such as forums and the legislator coffee each month during session.

“What first appealed me to League was the thorough way the they did studies and looked into issues. It was very impressive. I think it gave League credibility to see many projects to completion,” member Joan Tyler said.

Branstad, Ernst champion renewable fuels during Newton stop REG hosts GOP candidates

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

As many supporters of the renewable fuels industry eagerly await the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s decision on the 2014 renewable fuel standard, Iowa’s national, state and local GOP candidates gathered in Newton to campaign for both their races and a fair RFS. The GOP’s Iowa ticket came to Newton’s REG Plant at the request of the Iowa Biodiesel Board and Iowa Soybean Association, and didn’t bite their tongues in expressing their opposition to the EPA’s proposed cuts to the RFS. Under the current proposal, biodiesel volumes would go from close to 2 billion gallons to 1.28 billion gallons and ethanol down from 14 billion gallons to 13.3 billion gallons.

In November 2013, Iowa’s elected officials from both sides of the

party lines joined forces to champion Gov. Terry Branstad’s “Don’t Mess with the RFS” campaign, and the governor reiterated his support at Thursday’s event.

“Iowa is also the leader in producing biodiesel, ethanol, wind energy per capita — so we are the renewable fuels capital of the United States and it’s very important to our economy, our farm income, to quality jobs, to reducing our

dependency on foreign oil and making a greater, safer and secure country,” Branstad said. “So that’s why I’m so passionate and why I’ve fought so hard for the renewable fuel standard.”

U.S. Sen. Candidate Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, also expressed strong support for renewable fuels as her 99-county “Iowa Knows Best” tour, which features a bus that is powered by biodiesel, is underway.

A resident of Jasper County will receive a statewide award for her commitment to conservation in her county and throughout Iowa for her work done above and beyond job requirements.

Carol Kramer is the recipient of the 2014 Lawrence and Eula Hagie Heritage Award.

The Hagie award, endowed by the family of Lawrence and Eula Hagie, is given annually by Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation, a statewide conservation organization that protects and restores Iowa’s land, water

and wildlife. INHF’s work in Jasper County includes the Chichaqua Valley Trail and Hartley Heritage Fen. “Her work in conservation has gone beyond a desire for recognition. She truly has a passion for what she has done for the environment over the years,” said Joe McGovern, INHF President.

Around Iowa

Iowa college pairs US, international students IOWA CITY (AP) — In an effort to bridge the gap between U.S.-born and international students on campus, the University of Iowa’s business school has started a program that pairs students with buddies for one semester.

International students at the university’s Tippie College of Business represented nearly a quarter of last year’s freshmen class, the Iowa City Press-Citizen reported. The program, called International Buddies at Tippie, started last spring and groups business and pre-business undergraduates with the goal of helping international students assimilate into campus life.

Of Tippie’s international freshmen undergraduates, about 80 percent were from China, with the next largest group of students from South Korea and Malaysia.

“I think this is a really unique opportunity to expose those students to something totally different and to help them understand that the world is complicated and they’re going to have to work with people very different than themselves,” said Jennifer Blair, the assistant director of global community engagement for Tippie’s undergraduate programs.

The university also has other programs that attempt to foster friendships between U.S.-born and international students, such as its Global Buddies program.

A study last year by the college found international students felt less respected and had a less sense of belonging than U.S.-born students.

“I think some students don’t appreciate the extent to which international students do want to be a part of the culture here,” Blair said. “They’ve made a huge decision and sacrifice to do part of their education here.”

NHS students edge out state, nation in ACT scores

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer For the past five years, seniors at Newton Senior High School have outscored their peers across the state in the ACT, a feat so impressive that the school’s principal, Bill Peters, couldn’t help but gush over.

“The average NHS student, the average NHS student — scores higher than 71 percent above the other seniors in the country. So our average kid is better, not our top kid, but our average one is better than 71 percent of kids that take this test,” Peters told the board of education Monday.

NHS seniors averaged a 23.5 on the exam, which was higher than the state average of 22 and the national average of 20.8. A 36 is considered a perfect score on the test.

“This is indicative of what they are capable of doing against other kids in the state of Iowa,” Superintendent Bob Callaghan said.

There are four required sections for the test, reading, math, English and science, and the test measures a student’s development in those subjects due to determine how college-ready a student is.

The ACT is an important test for seniors as it is the most commonly used test for admittance to college, and has far surpassed the influence of the former No. 1 test, the SAT. Peters said they encourage all kids, including underclassman, to take this test, and to do so multiple times since only the highest score is counted. He also credits the hard work of his staff and students for the buildings continued success.

“The staff provides lessons that entail higher level thinking as well as providing a solid foundation. NHS has expanded the number of Advanced Placement and Honors level courses so kids have the opportunity to challenge themselves in the classroom,” Peters said in an interview.

“We have great kids. The students take rigorous course loads and put in the extra time to attain the high scores,” he said.

This year’s results are based on tests taken by more than 100 members from the class of 2014.

In total, the students from that class earned more than $2 million in college scholarships, Peters said.

League

Main Street

Continued from Page 1A

Continued from Page 1A

At the anniversary celebration, current league members took a walk down memory lane by giving a presentation reviewing the past eight decades of league activity in the county.

When it first organized in 1934s, Gladys Nelson was the first president who later went on to serve as a representative in the Iowa State Legislature.

The group participated in a tuberculosis testing for food handlers, a study about the formation and structure of the United Nations, and a study about a potential community mental health center which later became Capstone.

As the group evolved so did its membership. Newton had three different meeting groups because its participation was too high to meet in one place at one time.

As time went on, the league held studies about civil defense, the use of voting machines and potential counseling in schools.

In the 1980s, the organization conducted studies on the protection for battered women, urban renewable and adult day care need which evolved into Willowbrook Adult Day Care.

Members take their information to city or county officials and discuss needs they find in the community based on research.

“I thought it was really interesting to hear history of the League over the past 80 years. It was an excellent review of all the good things that League has done for the community,” member Laura Engel said.

The league will host its annual Jasper County League Candidate Forums in October.

The first will begin at 7 p.m., Oct. 16, at the Newton City Hall Council Chambers and feature State Senate candidate Chaz Allen and Crystal Bruntz, State Representative candidates Dan Kelley and Patrick Payton, and State Representatives Greg Heartsill and Meghan Suhr. The second will begin at 7 p.m., Oct. 23, at the Newton City Hall Council Chambers and feature Jasper County Recorder candidates Denise Allan and Marshall Critchfield as well as Jasper County Supervisor candidates Joe Brock, Dennis Carpenter and Jeremy Heaberlin.

work plan which will give a step by step of how they will approach the task, what the cost will be and when they plan on having it completed.

“I think it is pretty ambitious, but I think that’s good,” Bassman said of the plans the committees made.

The organization committee set a goal of establishing a strong, well-known program that utilizes a growing number of participants in implementing and funding the program.

The committee set two big

Branstad Continued from Page 1A energy secure, more energy independent I certainly am going to support those efforts,” Ernst said.

Newton’s REG plant broke ground on a $13 million expansion in February, a move Branstad applauded. He also commended the company for having 25 employees at its Newton location and for creating 40 construction jobs during the expansion process.

“I learned that this facility alone supports over 800 jobs in this area. That is true economic development, and true eco-

that they felt were fitting for this award.

Kramer’s most public conservation contribution has been her work on the Jasper County Conservation Board.

She had served on the board since 1987 and mentored many board members and employees, pushed for another naturalist to be on staff, helped with education programs and expanded the Jasper County Conservation Board’s outreach to over 20,000 people.

Kramer will receive her award during a public open house Oct. 22 at the DMACC campus in Newton.

First, to create an overall public relations strategy. They want to create a Main Street website, establish a social media strategy, have frequent public presentations, distribute a quarterly newsletter and work with the media to spotlight goods and services offered by District businesses.

Second, to work on volunteer recruitment and retention.

“We have a great group of volunteers now ... but we need to make sure they stick around and we need to get more people involved so we don’t wear everybody out. We’d like to see more young people involved,

too,” Bassman said.

The committee also plans on having a few more fun fundraiser after their Newton’s Magnetic Main Street Promotion was a sold-out success.

“We have pledges for funding for the first three years of the program,” Bassman said, but he said they need to start planning for years four and five.

nomic growth and we are truly grateful for all you do to make that happen. That is music to our ears,” said. Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds.

All of the candidates expressed a strong desire for the EPA to keep the current renewable fuel levels in tact, saying biodiesel supports 7,000 jobs in Iowa and close to 40,000 ethanol jobs in the state.

The reason Iowa is tied in with renewable fuels is because Iowa has more than 40 ethanol plants and 12 biodiesel plants, which ranks among the highest in the nation.

In addition, corn and soybeans are key components in the production of both prod-

ucts and Iowa does lead the nation in production in both of those categories.

The EPA hasn’t revealed when it will make its decision on the 2014 RFS and most of the candidates vowed to keep pushing to keep the current volume requirements in place.

“I just want to reinforce my commitment to the renewable fuel standard and that we will make sure we continue supporting that, and I will continue supporting that as your next United States Senator,” Ernst said.

Ernst pledges support for vets during Newton stop

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer Jasper County is home to more than 3,000 veterans and on Thursday, U.S. Senate Candidate and active Iowa National Guard member Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, reiterated her support for the state’s veterans in a campaign stop in Newton.

“I am a veteran. My husband is a veteran, my brother-in-law is a veteran, my son-in-law is a veteran, my cousin is a veteran — you can see a pattern here of a family of service. And I honor their (veterans) service, they have served us so well and fought for hard for us, and I am going to fight hard for them,” Ernst said.

Ernst opponent, U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley, D-Iowa, has come under fire after it was reported he missed more than 70 percent of his meetings as a member of the Congressional Veterans

Affairs Committee.

Representatives from his campaign said the figures were misleading because those meetings were full-committee meetings, and that the congressman also served on the VA subcommittee on Economic Opportunity in 2011 and 2012, and he attended 88 percent of the subcommittee hearings.

Braley’s campaign also said he has support of veterans through the group, Veterans for Braley, and one of those vets, Ron Healy, of Durango, came to his defense.

“As a veteran, I think it’s wrong that Joni Ernst and her allies would try to inject partisan politics into veterans issues. To suggest that Bruce has done anything but fight for Iowa veterans is misleading and dishonest,” Healey said.

“Truth is, Bruce has been an outspoken voice

for Iowa veterans — he fought the Pentagon to get back-pay that was denied to hundreds of Iowa National Guard members, he fought across party lines to improve veterans’ disability benefits, and passed tax cuts for small businesses to hire veterans.”

Braley’s reported absence has concerned Iowans since the VA’s health care system has been under fire in recent months, which was something Ernst had responded to when prompted.

“Our veterans mean the world to me. I will care for them,” Ernst said. “When someone brings up something like that (the VA issues), I am going to address it and I am going to fight for our veterans,” Ernst said.

Finding out about Fred I can’t help but associate laundry with Maytag, even the color blue.

Growing up in Newton, a privilege in which I ’ m proud, was a pleasant experience.

Neighb o r s , By Kate Malott t e a c h - Daily News Staff ers and Writer friends were fine. A small town bond and a big city security made for a happy, content community.

After I left town for college in 2003, strangers or new friends would instantly package Newton with Maytag, almost without fail. It was a conversation starter, although

in 2006, the conversation changed.

Despite a oneness with Maytag, I knew very little about F. L. or Fred except that they were Episcopalians like us. My familiarity with the name lied solely with the factory and the machines, something my grandpa or the schools taught us on field trips, and the public facilities like the pool and dairy farms.

But as I got older, I became intrigued about the family lineage, these men’s affect in town and with the way things use to be. I wanted to get my Maytag facts straight, after all, it’s probably a subject I should be versed in.

Recently, on two assignments, I learned the Maytags had great influence on more than initially suggested throughout my childhood, for instance, Fritz was a visionary and lobbyist for the creation of Rock Creek State Park and founder of the Jasper County Gun Club.

Oh, Curious George, I wanted to know more.

The name had been popping up again everywhere and as fate would have it, last week John McNeer brought in a Life Magazine from December 1949, in it a nine-page feature on Fred was published titled, “Mr. Maytag: The Big Man of Newton Faces up to his Responsibilities.”

Jack of all trades The Maytag men were problem solvers, both in the plant and in the office.

It seems as if Maytags had a wide range of interests, talents and capabilities.

Fred was a businessman, engineer, a state senator, even a pilot. He flew his own plane and was known for flying around the house to let his wife know it was time to pick him up.

He was a scholar, rower, hunter and awardwinning photographer as well as a member of the Rotary Club, Gun Club, Chamber of Commence,

Friday, Sept. 26, 2014

Boy Scouts, Iowa Development Commission and a Grinnell College trustee, to name a few.

“At home, as abroad, Fred Maytag invariably manages to excel at whatever he does,” Life said.

Strive for normalcy Fred was a devoted husband to wife Ellen and father of four who managed to make time for them even with his demanding career. He raised his sons to be caring, humble and accountable, making them sign promissory interest notes for a 15 cent loan.

“I want them to grow up normally, like any kids, in spite of the economic security they enjoy. But the trouble is, they think they are normal, but the other kids do not,” he said in Life.

He shopped for his own groceries, and ate lunch with factory or railroad workers in a lunch room.

For a millionaire in the 40s, he was approachable.

Plant workers came to him with request, concerns and

problems. The article said, “Everyone in Newton calls him Fred; his easy manner invites familiarity.”

He once got a parking ticket and the officer refused to fine him because of his status. Fred told the officer no, he would pay the ticket because he deserved it.

Even the family custom for the inheritance was to start from the bottom up, at the assembly line, so the boys would gain a sense of product, understanding and appreciation.

A man of the people If there is one common thread in stories of Fred it’s that he had a genuine interest in the employee satisfaction and the public.

The Life article said Maytag understood his inherited privilege came with not only financial responsibilities but social responsibilities as well, to give generously and with nobility toward those less privileged.

He built the $5 million plant within city limits so

that it could pay its fair share of taxes. “We must deal with the workers on a basis compatible with human dignity,” he said.

Big fish in a small pond Fred was the last Maytag to serve as president and chairman of the company. Like those who came before, he was simply a big fish in a small pond.

His interest exceeded his hometown of Newton, his character too tenacious and ambitions large. Fred died at age 51.

All that’s left now are fleeting memories of a thoughtful and composed man and a town full of old, faded dependable Maytag washer and dryers.

I’ve made one of my next assignments about the dairy farms, and I hope to run into Fred’s successful son Fritz.

Rumor has it he and his brother Kenneth return to Newton each year for the Maytag Dairy Farm annual executive board meeting. Now, that would make for a rare feature.

I love groups with the gumption to take on big tasks and do what needs to be done — c an-do groups t h a t c a n , and do.

By Jim T h e Hightower Little Train That Couldn’t. I’m talking about Congress.

Since the earliest days of our US of A, the most basic task of this legislative body has been to keep our national house in good repair. That requires tending to roads, bridges, rail systems, airports, school buildings, parks, internet access, etc.

Yet, with a toxic mix of anti-government ideology and fiscal foolishness, Republican members of Congress have recently been blocking every serious proposal to reinvest in America’s collapsing infrastructure.

The result is an inexcusable drop in maintenance, even as our population has expanded dramatically and the wear and tear on all parts of the infrastructure has created disasters-waiting-to-happen. As one lawmaker says of our increasingly-ramshackle house, “I’ve been here

seven and a half years.

We have not solved one single problem. It’s just so frustrating.”

That was no tax-andspend liberal Democrat talking — it was a penny-pinching Republican, Bob Corker of Tennessee. Indeed, it wasn’t that long ago that most Republicans understood and funded infrastructure — from Abe Lincoln to Teddy Roosevelt to Dwight Eisenhower, and even Ronald Reagan, who called such common sense maintenance “an investment in tomorrow that we must make today.”

Gail Collins, the superbly sensible New York Times columnist, recently noted that, “In a perfect world, Congress would figure out a serious, long-term plan to fix bridges, (etc.).” Yes, but I would amend her observation with this: It shouldn’t take “a perfect world” — even a Congress in a halfway-mediocre world ought to be able to do that job.

Actually, thanks to GOP obstinacy, Congress isn’t the Little Train That Couldn’t.

It’s the choo-choo that could, but won’t.

Friday, Sept. 26, 2014

Husband’s first marriage is a shock to his widow DEAR ABBY: My husband recently passed away, and among his papers I discovered evidence of another previous marriage. It came as a shock because he had never told me.

Should I ask his family how long this previous marriage lasted, or should I let it go and be grateful for the good and loving husband he was during our 27 years together? He was a widower with no kids and I was a widow when we met. What do you think? — NUMBER THREE IN ARIZONA DEAR NUMBER THREE: Your husband may have been divorced from wife No. 1, or the marriage could have been annulled and he didn’t think it “counted.” While I agree that you should be grateful for the 27 happy years you spent together, I can’t ignore the fact that such an important piece of information was withheld from you. If you have questions and think the family can answer them, you are entitled to know.

DEAR ABBY: My sister is difficult, and our relationship has been extremely rocky over the years. She insists upon doling out unsolicited advice and asking pointed personal questions about my finances, health, sex life, etc. I have told her more than once that these things are none of her business unless I choose to discuss them. Her response is she’s “only trying to help.”

Our mother died six months ago and my sister is again making overtures. I’m hesitant about speaking with her again because she’s so volatile. I’ll do it only if she respects my boundaries.

I am searching for the right words to tell her a relationship will work only if both parties respect each other, and that trust has to be earned. I’d appreciate any suggestions. — GUARDED SIBLING IN FLORIDA DEAR GUARDED SIBLING: Please accept my condolences for the loss of your mother. I am unclear as to why you would want to accept the overtures from someone with whom you have such

a difficult relationship. However, because you feel that it would be possible under your terms, my advice is to write her a letter and tell her you will be willing to try only under the circumstances you described to me. To do so would not be rude, and it will be interesting to see if she is able to comply.

DEAR ABBY: I’m being married next year and want to make sure I send written thank-you notes to everyone.

I have been a diligent thank-you note writer for years.

Can you tell me what’s the best way to get everyone’s address? I have had problems with this in the past. I hate having to call and ask because the people always want to know why I want the information. Would it be OK to have as part of the wedding website a place where guests who attend can confirm their mailing address? — BRIDE-TO-BE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR BRIDE-TO-BE: How do you plan to invite your guests to the wedding? Most brides send their invitations via U.S. mail, which requires the person’s name, address and ZIP code on the envelope.

However, if you plan to issue your invitations online, then I see no reason you can’t ask your guests to confirm their information on your wedding site. It wouldn’t be a breach of etiquette.

DAVENPORT— A rare Grant Wood sketchbook from 1929 is back in Davenport after it went missing from a museum about 50 years ago, the museum said.

The 100-page sketchbook signed by Wood, the painter of “American Gothic,” is again in the Figge Art Museum’s possession, collections and exhibitions manager Andrew Wallace said Thursday. The small book of drawings for the 24-foot, stained-glass window in Cedar Rapid’s Veterans Memorial Building was likely stolen during an open house in 1966.

Historical society sells Cedar Falls landmark house

CEDAR FALLS — The Cedar Falls Historical Society has sold a landmark house to a couple who will live upstairs and use the main floor for a business.

The historical society sold the George Wyth House to Blake and Laurie Conover after listing the house for sale last summer. After being given the house in 1979, the organization used it as a museum for a number of years but more recently hadn’t been able to find a use for the structure.

The Cedar Falls house was built in 1907.

comment.

The report found Gibbons, like Mosiman, may have unintentionally received excess vacation pay because he wasn’t required to submit time sheets.

Schultz said he eliminated Gibbons’ job to save money in May 2012, but decided to keep him employed through the year. Gibbons wasn’t in the office in June 2012, but was directed by Schultz the following month to show up four days a week. Other than attending an insurance meeting, employees couldn’t cite any specific work he did.

Gibbons told auditors he often arrived before others “and would remain long enough to check messages, answer questions, and complete any other work assigned” before leaving. Attempts by auditors to verify how often he swiped his badge or logged into the state computer system were unsuccessful.

Schultz is leaving office after serving one four-year term.

DES MOINES — Farmers can start as early as next week on signing up for new safety net programs that U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said replaces the much-criticized direct payments with government payouts based on the risks farmers face.

Vilsack traveled to St. Paul, Minnesota, to hold a news conference to announce the rollout of the programs on Thursday. He held a conference call with reporters to further discuss the programs and answer questions.

The programs were established in the 2014 farm bill and will allow farmers to protect themselves against

bons on the payroll for nearly seven months in which he was only occasionally in the office and achieved no documented work product, the report found. Henderson and Laudner received an additional $21,317 in pay while working from home.

Three laid-off union workers were paid 22 days for not working, two more than what was required under their contract, at a cost of $1,700.

“It’s a gross violation of his office,” Mathis, a Robins Democrat, said of Schultz. “That is an insult to the taxpayers of Iowa. It’s a lot of money.”

The report didn’t recommend that Gibbons, Henderson and Laudner reimburse the state, like it did Mosiman. Jenkins said auditors couldn’t find any record of what those three “did or did not do,” and therefore couldn’t determine how much pay should be refunded.

Gibbons didn’t return a phone message for

commodity price drops and from lower revenue in poor crop years.

Payouts this year could be significant since anticipated record corn and soybean harvests have sent prices plummeting. At current prices many farmers are likely to lose money, a scenario that will enable them to collect government payments.

The new programs cover this year’s harvested crop. Farmers will receive payment in October 2015. The programs are in addition to crop insurance farmers may buy to cover losses from flooding, drought, hail and other natural disasters.

Audit: Secretary of state’s aides were overpaid IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa Secretary of State Matt Schultz spent $112,000 to pay appointees who did little or no work in the months after their jobs were eliminated, an audit report said Thursday.

State Auditor Mary Mosiman received $2,500 in excess pay when she was Schultz’s deputy because her vacation wasn’t properly recorded, the report found. Mosiman wrote a check to repay the money Thursday, which the report recommended.

Mosiman, a Republican seeking a four-year term as auditor, said she was “very surprised and disappointed” by the finding.

“That is not money that should be in my possession,” said Mosiman, calling the error “absolutely unintentional.” She recused herself from the audit since it covered her time as an appointee in the Secretary of State’s Office, which runs elections and manages business filings. The audit was con-

That’s Odd Frozen chicken abandoned after ransom attempt MISSOULA, Mont.

(AP) — An employee of an Idaho trucking company abandoned a trailer containing thousands of pounds of frozen chicken at a western Montana truck stop after the company reportedly refused to pay a ransom for the poultry, Missoula County officials said.

The 53-foot trailer, dripping the rancid juices of rotting chicken, was discovered Tuesday near the Flying J Truck Stop west of Missoula, the Missoulian reported.

Truck stop manager

Crystal Friede said the trailer had been there since at least Saturday.

It contained 35,000 pounds of chicken worth $80,000, officials said.

The trucker reportedly texted Dixie River Freight Inc. saying he’d return the chicken in exchange for a ransom, sheriff ’s spokeswoman Paige Pavalone said Wednesday.

The Nampa, Idaho, trucking company refused his offer and reported the truck missing.

Holder resigning: Attorney general backed rights WASHINGTON (AP) — Eric Holder, America’s first black attorney general and an unflinching champion of civil rights in enforcing the nation’s laws, announced his resignation Thursday after leading the Justice Department since the first days of President Barack Obama’s term. He is the fourth-longest-serving attorney general in U.S. history.

Holder, the administration’s point man on the civil rights investigation into the police shooting of an unarmed 18-year-old in Ferguson, Missouri, won’t leave until a replacement is confirmed, which means he could remain in office for months.

Senate Republicans signaled they were preparing for a confirmation fight after years of battles with Holder. Said Senate GOP

leader Mitch McConnell: “I will be scrutinizing the president’s replacement nominee to ensure the Justice Department finally returns to prioritizing law enforcement over partisan concerns.”

In an emotional ceremony at the White House, Obama called Holder “the people’s lawyer” and credited him with driving down both the nation’s crime and incarceration rate — the first time they have declined together in more than 40 years.

“Through it all, he’s shown a deep and abiding fidelity to one of our most cherished ideals as a people, and that is equal justice under the law,” Obama said.

Holder responded by speaking of how he was inspired as a boy by Robert Kennedy’s leadership on civil rights at the Justice Depart-

ment, his voice choking as he expressed his thanks to Obama and his own family. “You got through it,” Obama could be heard telling Holder as the audience stood and applauded.

In a speech earlier this week, Holder described the dual perspective he brought to the job and how it applied to the Ferguson shooting, in which a young black man was shot and killed by a white policeman. He said he had the utmost respect for police as a former prosecutor and the brother of an officer. But, he added, “As an African-American man who has been stopped and searched by police in situations where such actions were not warranted, I also carry with me an understanding of the mistrust that some citizens harbor.”

Newton

Daily News Three Cardinal harriers capture Local sports beat fine for me medals at Indianola Invitational The Pressbox

Local sports are my beat. That’s why I became a journalist. Growing up in a small Kansas town — rural area — school activities, which included sports to music concerts, books sales or whatever involved youth, took center stage.

I’m comfortable writing By Jocelyn Sheets about Newton’s Daily News cross country Sports Edtior athletes knowing that “real women and men” run in pink. The Cardinals runners were focused on competing in their home Cardinal Invitational meet Tuesday at Westwood Golf Course.

They were also showing support for a teammate’s mother battling breast cancer and all those who fight the good fight against breast cancer.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The NHS cross country teams aren’t home in October, so they went pink Tuesday. Pink is the new NHS Cardinal Red for October. There’s the Dig Pink Night Oct. 7 for the NHS volleyball team, which sold T-shirts to raise funds for breast cancer awareness. On Oct. 10 is the Pink Out football game involving the football team, the NHS cheerleaders and dance team and band.

I’m comfortable writing about the NCMP swim team pledging to Swim for MS. I enjoy telling the stories of competitions — win or lose — involving local youth. There’s great stories among those participating in athletics, coaching athletics, supporting the efforts of athletes in the local area.

Right now, there’s a lot of buzz about the Newton High football team, and rightly so. Undefeated through four games of a nine-game season is an accomplishment. The next three Fridays will challenge the Cardinals as they take on three straight ranked teams in Class 3A. PRESSBOX See Page 2B

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor INDIANOLA — Forty medals were up for grabs in each of the varsity races at the 45th annual Indianola Invitational cross country meet. Three Newton High runners walked away with medals Thursday.

Grace Coen finished third in the girls’ varsity 4K race in 15 minutes, 42 seconds. Hailey Coy captured the 32nd-place medal in 17:33. Coen and Coy led the Cardinal girls to sixth in the team standings.

Jacob Thomas claimed a medal in the boys’ varsity 5K race, taking 25th in 18:43. Newton’s boys placed 12th in the field of 16 teams. Fort Dodge won the team title with 57 points. Newton got edged

by Boone, 327 points to 328 points.

“The boys ran hard last night, but had a tough meet,” said Tom Bartello, Newton boys’ head coach.

“We competed against a number of strong 4A teams and a hilly course right after competing on Tuesday at our home meet. This meet was a great opportunity for us to see where we are at against some of the bigger 4A teams in the state, which we will see at districts. We are at the point of the season where we start bringing the mileage down and the speed work up.”

Ellie Horn was Newton’s No. 3 runner in the race, running the distance in 18:46, followed by Anna Barr in 49th at 18:57. Autumn Hunt finished 59th in 19:23 with Tessa Keeton in 60th at 19:27, and Michaella Cope in 74th in 20:32.

“Two meets in a week

can be tough and the girls powered through,” said Rachelle Tipton, Newton girls’ head coach. “It was a bit warmer today and the course was hilly. They competed well and left it all on the course.”

Mikey Bradley came across the finish line in 60th in 19:55 as the No. 2 runner for the Cardinal boys. Justin Simms placed 78th in 21:00 followed by Chase Dykstra in 82nd at

21:34, just behind Johnston’s Nikash Pradham in 21:33.

Dylan Main placed 83rd in 21:41. Jack Callaghan took 96th in 23:15.

The Newton junior varsity boys finished 13th led

by Noah Sander at 115th in 22:34. There were 254 runners in the 5K race. Tyler Dafflitto placed 134th in 213:05 followed by Zach Theis in 136th at 23:06, Ross Hull in 142nd at

23:11 and Blake Robson in 239th at 27:27.

Jordan Soule ran 52nd in the girls’ junior varsity 4K race. Soule’s time was 20:37. Marisa Modlin placed 95th in 22:12.

Next up for the NHS cross country teams is Tuesday’s Knoxville Invitational.

PCM catches Davis County at home meet Four area runners place in top 10 in boys’ race at PCM meet

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer MONROE – Prairie CityMonroe’s girls cross country team achieved Thursday what the Mustangs couldn’t at their last meet.

A week after Class 2A No. 10 Davis County beat PCM by eight points for first place at the Lynnville-Sully Invitational, the Mustangs, unranked, earned a bit of revenge at the Prairie City-Monroe Invitational at Gateway Golf Course.

PCM, led by senior Rachel Peter’s second-place performance, edged out Davis County by 14 points for fourth place at the team’s home meet.

With more established teams like Ballard, who won both the boys and girls team titles at the meet, and West Marshall, PCM head coach Eric Karr said his girls team set its sight on realistic goals, such as catching Davis County.

“I’m really proud of the team.

They all stepped up. You tell them to beat a Davis County girl, they’ll go and pass them,” Peter said. “We kind of hinted at it. Me and our second runner, Rachel (Stafford), we talked about, ‘Let’s go out and get Davis County today.

“It’s pretty cool we can beat a team ranked (No. 10) in the state, especially for not even having a team last year.”

Peter, who finished in 17 minutes, 12 seconds and roughly 18 seconds behind race winner Abby Kohut-Jackson of Ballard, led the local talent in the girls race. Colfax-Mingo’s Kennedi Hostetter placed 17th, followed by CollinsMaxwell/Baxter’s Heather Jessen and Winter Brown in 19th and 20th and Lynnville-Sully’s Cori Rice in 21st.

PCM benefitted from finishing closely ahead of Davis County runners throughout the race. Stafford came in two spots ahead of Davis County’s Addie McKee, PCM’s Baylee Smith placed six spots ahead of Davis County’s Madeline Nelson and Morgan Novak finished two seconds before Sophie Rotole.

The Mustangs totaled 131 points. Davis County had 145.

“If you go back to the Lynnville-Sully meet, that’s the team we were chasing,” PCM head coach Eric Karr said. “You start looking at things of what can we do, and it’s just a little improvement by each person.”

Gilbert and Ballard are in the same district as Newton. Friday and a week from Friday, the Cardinals are on the road in district play. It’s a tough challenge to come back at least 1-1 when Newton hosts Pella in a non-district game on Oct. 10.

Writing my opinions of national sports issues is not my beat. There are times when I will wade in, but there are so many talking heads out there on television, radios and columnists closer to the national scene than I to talk it up.

I’m just glad this week ended with some cool and good news, at least in my opinion. On Thursday night it came in the form of Major League Baseball.

Kansas City rallied to beat the Chicago White Sox to stay in the hunt for the American League Central title and in the playoffs. As much as I’m not a New York Yankees’ fan, it was a magic night in the Big Apple at Yankee Stadium. The rain went away and the Yankees were able to get in their final home game of the season, which meant retiring Derek Jeter took center stage. Jeter doubled in a run in his first at bat then had a walk-

give the Yankees a 6-5 win over Baltimore. The Yankee captain delivered in his final game in the Bronx.

I love football at all levels. I’ll watch almost anybody play football.

Trends in the NFL and in college football of late are bothersome. We all know the NFL and teams with suspended players for domestic violence did not get it right to start with. Now, we’re listening to everybody backtrack and “explain” themselves. The blame game continues.

What has happened in college football?

There was a rash of suspensions of players across the country even before the season began.

Then we have the Florida State fiasco. I agree with one columnist who said, “Jameis Winston just doesn’t get it.” Florida State’s Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Winston continues to rack up embarrassing incidents for this institution of higher learning.

A week ago it was announced Winston would be suspended for the first half of the FSU-Clemson game for an incident on campus — screaming an obscene phrase in the student union.

Wow, what a punishment. Then it is learned

authorities about the incident, so the school suspended him for the full game against Clemson.

What does this student-athlete do? Dress in full pads and uniform, trots out onto the football field to warm up with the team before Saturday’s game. Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher gets Winston’s attention and he goes in to change out of his full uniform. What happens during the game? Time and time again, we see Winston on the FSU sideline almost as much as we saw the actually action on the field.

After the game, Fisher announces Winston is reinstated and is the starting quarterback.

Fisher comes out with an explanation of the “confusion” about Winston dressing for the game and it is pretty lame — miscommunication with locker room/equipment staff had Winston’s pads and uniform in his locker. Please, this college student-athlete knew he was not going to play in the game and shouldn’t be in uniform.

Where is the institutional control at Florida State when it comes to the football team, coach and Winston? Winston has a long list of incidents that would have

ing from a program.

He is 20-years old and his response to the latest incident was “I have to tone it down.”

You think, Jameis?

Speaking of headscratching things on the football front — how about the ridiculous notion that the NFL overtime rules are unfair because Peyton Manning didn’t get a chance to have the football in Denver’s overtime loss to Seattle on Monday night. Say what?

Manning led the Broncos down the field at the end of regulation for a touchdown and a two-point conversion to send the game into overtime. Manning called the coin flip at the start of overtime, and lost. He had to stand, with helmet on, and watch from the sidelines as Russell Wilson orchestrated a game-winning touchdown drive for the Seahawks.

How is that unfair?

At anytime, the Bronco defense could have made a stop and forced Seattle to punt the football or get a turnover. It didn’t and it couldn’t. Seattle wins.

Roland-Story beats CMB volleyball in straight sets

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer STORY CITY — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter fell victim to a hot Roland-Story team Thursday night as the Norsemen won for the eighth time in their last nine matches.

Class 3A No. 12

Roland-Story beat the Raiders in straight sets, 25-8, 25-17, 25-10.

CMB head coach Scott Ranck said he felt the match was closer than the score indicated.

“We had several long rallies, stayed scrappy, moved much faster and tried to do several different things that will

help us for the postseason,” Ranck said, “but again, they were another outstanding team from our conference and it was tough.”

Junior Bridget Hurley led the Raiders with four kills and an ace while senior Abbey Applegate recorded nine digs and Mackenzie Schmitz

posted seven assists.

Roland-Story senior Lauren Himan had 12 kills and 14 aces, the most of each by any player in the match.

“We didn’t have much of an answer for their outside hitter (Himan),” Ranck said. “She is just a great player and she really carries their team.”

Cross country: Two top-10 finishers lead CMB boys to third place Continued from Page 1B also had a tight team finish, as the Raiders edged the Hawks by 18 points for sixth in the 12-team field. CMB’s Anna Jones placed six spots ahead of Hawk junior Shelby Foster and Chantel Maxwell finished five spots before Kasiah Ehresman.

In the boys race, Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter’s Mark Deutsch continued his strong senior season with another second-place finish. Two days after winning the West Marshall Invitational, the CMB senior ran near the front of the race throughout and crossed the finish line in 17:38.

Deutsch, who is unranked, finished 17 seconds ahead of Davis County’s Zach Hougland in third, who’s ranked

No. 10 in 2A. “It’s really no big deal to me,” Deutsch said of not being ranked after winning or placing second in every meet he’s ran in this season, “but if there’s a rated kid who’s ahead of me in my race, I’m like, yeah, I’m going to go try and beat him.”

CMB performed well as a squad, too, placing third with 105 points in the 14-team field. Colin Thomson finished eighth individually for the Raiders, and CMB head coach Jerry Meinerts said Thomson is starting to close the gap between himself and Deutsch.

Running a few hundred yards from his backyard, PCM freshman Blaise Winegardner ran well again for the Mustangs, finishing fourth. Winegardner, who crossed the finish line in 17:59 and has paced his team at every meet

Ben Schuff/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s Colin Thomson (685) and Prairie City-Monroe’s Blaise Winegardner (920) run up a hill at Gateway Golf Course during Thursday’s Prairie City-Monroe Cross Country Invitational in Monroe. Winegardner placed fourth in the race and Thomson eighth.

this season, said running so close to his house, which he could see from the finish line, added extra comfort on the course.

“I think at the start of this one I was somewhere around top 20 and as the race progressed, I made my way through everybody and tried to just stay up with the top three runners,” he said.

Lynnville-Sully also had a runner in the top 10; Canyon Kuhlmann finished 10th in 18:58. Both the Hawks (11th) and PCM (10th) finished in the bottom half of the team standings as the two squads had the two biggest point differentials between their first- and secondplace runners of all teams at the meet.

Colfax-Mingo placed 14th with 385 points and again were led by freshmen Jonathan Jacobs (76th place) and Alex Lewis (77th).

Astrograph Friday, September 26, 2014

Tomorrow Mercury breaks out of the current lovely alignment with Venus and travels to Scorpio’s more serious realm. The communication between loved ones will become less obvious, physical and direct, and more nuanced, if not completely between-thelines or even sarcastic in tone. Well, one more day of sweetness, so enjoy.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 26). You have high expectations, and you picked the right year for it because you’re also stronger and ready for the challenge. You’ll get the excitement you crave in October. November brings a dedicated effort among a small group of like minds. Secret exchanges go down in December. January and May are the best financially. Taurus and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 22, 14, 17 and 38.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You know how to get attention. You’ll lure someone in with a puzzle or an unanswered question. This is only the start

— your bag of attraction secrets is full. Your audience is in for quite a ride.

anymore. You’ll visit this in some way today, and it will bring comfort.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll have people talking, and this is a good thing. Your actions have focused the conversation on the changes ahead and how to make the best of them. Consider stepping up as an official leader.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The project is getting tedious, but press on. It’s the only way the work gets done. You won’t finish all in one day, but it’s better than what you’ll do if you give up too soon.

Press on. It will make all the difference.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Your sign mate Mark Twain said, “When you cannot get a compliment any other way, pay yourself one.” Indeed, you shouldn’t wait on the general public today, because you’re miles ahead.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You have a definite opinion about your area of expertise — an opinion that some will consider unusual.

That’s fine. They’ll pay special attention precisely for this reason.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). What made you happy when you were small now holds a sentimental attachment, even though it doesn’t exactly make you happy

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Brilliance is often so simple that it takes a fellow bright mind to recognize it. That’s you today.

It won’t fool you when imaginative ideas come to you in plain wrapping.

This is how you’ll meet a kindred spirit.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Something remarkable happens when you declare, “Let there be...”

There will be! Since you are so good at bringing things into being today, be very careful what you ask for.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You’re up to something interesting, and that’s why the paparazzi will leave you alone —

they only record mundane acts like strolling or shopping. You’ll have to create your own publicity plan when the time is right.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If they give you funny looks for doing far more than was asked of you, ignore them. You’re right. The competition is stiff out there, and no one can afford to be complacent.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Give yourself some advice. Like most people receiving advice, you probably won’t apply it, but at least you’ll understand more clearly what you believe and how you currently measure up against those beliefs.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Of course you are loved, but those close to you may take you for granted, so don’t expect a display. No worries, though. It is behaving in a loving way that makes you feel most loved anyhow.
