Former coach’s family unites in face of dementia Part 2 of a two-part series By Kate Malott Daily News Staff Writer Red Pride Throughout Newton Senior High School football coach John Jenkins’ career, the Cardinals played against fellow legendary head coach Jerry Pezzetti and the Ankeny Hawks nearly every year. The experienced coach, now calling the shots at Ankeny Centennial, holds an impressive 313-130 record with the team. Pezzetti started coaching at Ankeny in 1970 and was a close friend with Frank Gilson. He even served as a pallbearer at his funeral. “We’ve always had the absolute greatest respect for New-

ton,” Pezzetti said. “There probably isn’t another town in the state with such a great football community, and that’s largely because of John. “Every time we played, whether we won or lost, you knew it was going to be real, hard-nosed football. You knew you were going to have to tackle as hard as them, run as hard as them, play as hard as them. “The kids believed in their coaches and had pride in their sport,” Pezzetti continued. “He couldn’t have done a better job.” One thing John took pride in doing was hosting instrumental football camps for young players in the area and inviting speakers to join from surrounding collegiate programs, like Iowa and Iowa State.
Dan McCarney, former University of Iowa assistant coach and Iowa State University head coach, said he has known John for decades. They worked together in many of those valuable football camps and in numerous recruiting efforts. “The best coaches I have been around are the ones that take a collection of young men who are just a ‘group’ and turn them into a ‘team’ that represents a school, town and state the way everyone respects and admires. Who better than John Jenkins?” McCarney said. “How special was Newton Cardinal football on a Friday night in the fall? Always JENKINS See Page 8A

Reactions to the National Career Readiness Certificate test ranged from “that was really hard” to “it was easier than I expected.” But whether the roughly one dozen community leaders and Newton residents who took part in the Skilled Iowa testing day received NCRC certification or not, they all learned something about themselves Thursday morning. And, for many of them, future employers will be able to tall something about them, as well. “[I] had a great time with the test,” Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Darrell Sarmento said. “The NCRC test was not easy, which means this is a very valuable tool for employers to use in hiring. I’m happy with my ‘silver’ certificate for my first time out.” The Chamber and Newton Development Corporation partnered to host the event at the DMACC Newton Campus. Testing is available at the community college on a regular basis by appointment, but Thursday’s testing event was meant to serve as a promotion of Newton’s efforts to become a Skilled Iowa Community.

Perseverance and the silver lining were very much the themes to Stephanie Langstraat’s nomination letters for the Golden Apple award, a recognition given out once a month to an Iowa educator who performs above and beyond the call of duty. The middle school principal from the Prairie City-Monroe district was held up high by nine different students who, when assigned to think of a strong leader in the community, selected Langstraat for her work in the school.
Each student compared Langstraat to a different historical leader, one drawing a parallel to Harriet Tubman as she discussed her fearless demeanor in the face of the school’s bomb threat last school year. “When we had the bomb threat, she was calm and kept us on our toes,” the letter read. “She took charge and made sure we were all safe. Following the plan set in place with her in charge made us very safe, and I feel comfortable saying I trust her with my life, as we very well did that day.” GOLDEN APPLE See Page 5A

Iowa Gov. seeks federal approval for health plan DES MOINES (AP) — Federal authorities have not signed off on Iowa’s low-income health care expansion because they do not like the use of premiums in the plan, Gov. Terry Branstad said Thursday. Branstad met with federal officials in Washington this week to urge them to provide a waiver enabling the state to receive more federal Medicaid money for the proposed Iowa Health and Wellness Plan, a new health insurance program that would cover as many as 150,000 residents. Branstad said the program calls for eventually charging some small premiums that are intended to serve as health incentives. He said participants can avoid the charges if they complete
certain health goals. “We’ve got pretty much everything else resolved except this one last point, and that’s what we told them. We’d like to see this done,” Branstad said. But the clock is ticking, and millions of dollars in new Medicaid funding hangs in the balance. The governor said he would like to have the waiver in place by Oct. 1. That’s when enrollment opens for the new health care exchanges, the online marketplaces created under President Barack Obama’s health care law that allow users to buy and compare health insurance. If approved, the new program would start coverage January 1. Some of the eligible people are currently on a limited-
Page 3A
benefit state health plan that is set to expire by the end of the year. Without a new program in place, they could lose coverage. Branstad said he had no indication of a timeline from federal officials. A public comment period for people to weigh on the proposal with the federal government concluded Thursday. A spokesman for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services did not immediately return a call for comment. Iowa lawmakers in May approved legislation that accepts federal dollars offered to states that expand Medicaid under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul. The plan would cover up to 150,000 low-income Iowans, but not on the current Medicaid plan.

Katiedid Vs.
Dancing exotically “We’re very excited by the prospect of having you as a client. Do you have any questions about us and what we do here?” Staring down at me from behind a huge wooden desk sat a veteran literary agent and my potential new representation. I glanced from her to her teenagelooking assistant, who was bouncing on a yoga ball and jotting down By Katiedid notes. I subconsciously Langrock tugged at my pink headCreators Syndicate band and lace dress, recent purchases made in hopes of creating a youthful appearance for my meeting. By 30, you’re practically the Cryptkeeper in my industry. My ultra-adolescent outfit was a pathetic attempt to cover up my granny mothball stench. “Well, I guess I’m curious whether you are going to give me any extracurricular assignments,” I said to the veteran agent. “Of course. We will do our best to get you paid writing assignments.” “No,” I said. The veteran agent noticed as I awkwardly pulled on my dress. “I mean more, like, uh, are you going to send me to classes for things outside of my writing ability?” “I’m not following you,” said the veteran. “I mean, are you going to send me to stripping classes?” “Excuse me?” A couple of years ago, my then agent was promoting a script I had written. The story had garnered some interest, and meetings were set up. But one thing was bothering my agent. “Your story is sexy,” she said. “But you — oh, how do I say this — aren’t.” “They’re meeting me because they like my script,” I said, “not because they want to sleep with me.” “Oh, I know. But wanting to sleep with you couldn’t hurt, right?” “Uh. I guess not,” I said. “How do you feel about pole dancing?” Strip-based exercise classes are a big trend in my town. I have no issue with women who take take control of their sexuality and their core muscles with some Sunday morning pole dancing. However, I made perfectly clear to my then agent it was utterly appalling to insist on a client’s taking such classes to enhance her sexual appeal in a pitch meeting. There was no way I would partake in that type of misogynistic, anti-feminist behavior! A few weeks later, I was looking down at my baggy T-shirt and yoga pants as the 10 a.m. class let out. So much for standing my ground. Women in their early 60s, wearing sequined corsets, came out of the classroom. They stopped to comment on the newest clothing being sold in the lobby before continuing on to the changing room. The classroom was dark, with no windows and no mirrors. Our instructor sat in the center of our circle, yelling out self-affirming statements as we stretched. “Love your womanhood!” “Embrace your Virginia!” I thought about yelling back, “I will once you embrace wearing pants.” But I chickened out. Our warm-up exercise consisted of performing the iconic slinky cat crawl. This required our using our arm and core muscles to lower our upper bodies, barely avoiding sweeping our breasts across the floor, and then pushing our bodies back up as we inched forward on all fours. I was excited to give it a try. I figured, “Hey, I’m here already. May as well make the most of it.” That day, I gained immense respect for my exotic-dancing sisters. Stripping is hard work! I tried to crawl. I tried to slink. I lowered my torso in a suggestive way. But then, just as I was supposed to teasingly lift myself back up, I remembered something: I don’t have upper body strength. Bam! My face hit the mat. The instructor yelled at me to relish my femininity. I tried again. Bam! Face and floor met. After a few more face plants, I was relegated to the side to watch the other class members slink sexily across the mats. I went home with a bruised ego and an even more bruised nose. So, I wasn’t ready to go through that again. The veteran agent looked at me, mouth agape. “We would never send you to stripping class.” “Never?” “With us, you don’t even have to dress like a teenager.” Aw, she noticed. I smiled. “Where do I sign?”

Stop blaming violent video games Yesterday, I saw one of my coworkers mow down a pedestrian with a semi-truck. He was able to do this from the comfort of his couch. Whenever a new “ G r a n d Theft Auto” video game comes out, the media By Dave Hon pull out that old, tattered Daily News Staff Writer card. Violent video games cause violence. I can assure you, I’ve been playing video games since I was able to talk, and I have no urge to inflict violence upon anyone. While watching coverage of the Navy Yard shootings and the attack on the mall on Kenya, news anchors always led right into the release of “GTA V.” One of the CNN anchors pointed out that in GTA you can even rob a bank and kill all the hostages. The other anchor shook his head in disappointment. This entire faux debate started when it was revealed that Columbine shooter Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold played hours and hours of the popular game “Doom.” That is incorrect. They didn’t just play “Doom.” The two were so talented, they actually created levels for the game. They had an appreciation
for the art form and contributed back to it. Yes, video games are an art form. It wasn’t their appreciation and contribution to video games that motivated Harris and Klebold to kill their classmates. It was the fact that one of them was a sociopath and the other was a psychopath. Yes, there are some games that are brutal and brutality doesn’t make a video game a work of art alone. God forbid any news anchor actually play one these games and realize all the characters aren’t just made of pixels, they have depth. I have yet to play a game that was for the sole purpose of glorifying violence. What I doubt has ever crossed the national media’s mind when it comes to violence in video games is the hypocrisy behind juxtaposing the criticism of that violence while televising violence under the guise of news. Do I think the media should censor themselves? Not at all. There’s an age-old question about art. Does art mimic life or does life mimic art? Those who believe the latter is true, must also not believe in the human will. They must believe we are so influenced by outside factors we can’t discern between a controller and a steering wheel. Sure, there are some people who can’t tell the difference. Those people have a form of men-
tal illness and should be treated and maybe those around them, in their circle of trust, should keep them close so they don’t go off the deep-end. I’ve only been around for 22 years. But in that time, there’s been more mass shootings in America than in any other period of time. I’ve come to a conclusion. It’s not video games or guns, and it’s not the media. Anyone still blaming Charles Manson for Columbine is, frankly, an idiot. These mass shootings are our fault. Every mass shooting has one thing in common: isolation. In “Bowling for Columbine” Michael Moore asks Charles Manson what he would say to Harris and Klebold if they were still alive. Manson replies, “I wouldn’t say anything. I’d listen.” Call it the denigration of the family, call it the destruction of social values, but mass shootings have more to do with the lack of proper socialization than anything else. So, next time you see someone who is alone, confused, depressed, angry or isolated, approach them. Don’t approach them because you think they might shoot someone, or because you have pity for them. Approach them because you don’t want to be alone when you feel like they do. Now, I’m going to go kill some zombies.

College football brings out the stupid ... in all of us. Yesterday was a busy day, but not so busy that I couldn’t remember it was Game Day for my beloved Iowa State Cyclones. It’s been a rough start to the 2013 season for the Cardinal By Bob Eschliman Daily News Editor and Gold. So rough, I was beginning to think the lateseason match-up with Kansas might be their only hope for a victory this season. Something needed to change. The last two big game weeks, I had worn “school colors” on Game Day, to no avail. So, I decided to change pace, and wore Tulsa colors yesterday. As was the case in the classic sports comedy, “Celtic Pride,” I decided I was the “Bad Luck Guy.” So, I tried to jinx the opposition by taking on their colors. Pretty stupid, right? Yeah, especially when I had a ribbon cutting to attend as a member of the ISU Extension Council. All of the staff was nicely decked out in their own Cardinal and Gold, and they even played the Cyclone fight song. And, when it was time to cut

the ribbon, there I am, the only guy wearing blue. But, if you check the scores from last night, you will see it worked. The Cyclones won in a rather dominant fashion defensively, and their offense finally looked like it was beginning to click. So, obviously, it was the blue shirt I wore all day. Right? The eye rolls I’ve no doubt elicited from you are sign enough of the real topic I’d like to quickly discuss today. And that is the idea of paying top-tier Division I athletes to play their respective sports. I’m pretty much with Iowa State athletic director Jamie Pollard on this one. Like high school, college is about one thing: getting an education. An education that would be very expensive to those studentathletes were they just students. Granted, there are some pretty stupid aspects of the NCAA rules that should be addressed. But, paying football and basketball players isn’t the answer. Like all other endeavors in life we call “careers,” there are dues to be paid. In my case, as a journalist, it was the four years I worked as a entry-level staff writer and then as a sports editor at a small weekly newspaper, making less than $20,000 a year. I ate a lot of top ramen and really cheap — and nasty-tasting
— macaroni and cheese from a box. I also didn’t have a lot of disposable income. I was lucky because I had an apartment (a furnished efficiency) where all of the utilities (and cable TV) were included in the rent. After that, I moved into a job at the best newspaper in Iowa, making $25,000 a year. Three years after that, I was editor of a news magazine making substantially more. And, less than a decade after that, I was the publisher of a newspaper. That’s not how it works out for most journalists. But, if you work really hard — and pay your dues — it’s definitely in the realm of possibility. Sure, I didn’t take a beating from the Oklahoma University defensive line on Saturday, and then got up early for classes on Monday, barely able to move. But, moving on to the NFL and making a minimum of $500,000 a year isn’t in my realm of possibility, either. Like everyone else, college athletes have to pay their own dues. And in the meantime, they need to just shut up and put their nose to the grindstone. As one successful NFL coach once said, “It’s time to put on the big-boy pants and go to work.” ••• If you’re reading this, thank a teacher.

The more people who take the test, the closer Newton gets to reaching that goal. Many of those who took the test were taking it in the hopes of securing a better job, or to provide themselves another leg up in the all-too-competitive employment market. The rest were business and community leaders who took the test to get a better understanding of it and how it could apply to their hiring practices in the future. The NCRC is a product of Iowa-based ACT Inc. and is meant to be a “portable credential” to demonstrate the certificant’s achievement and level of workplace employability skills in three distinct disciplines. This is measured through ACT’s WorkKeys assessments in: * Applied Mathematics, • Locating Information, and • Reading for Information. These assessments, which may be performed on a computer, or in a paper-and-pencil format, are 55-minute examinations of 33 or 38 questions in length. They measure “real world” skills many employers believe are critical to job success. Test questions are based on situations in the everyday work world. In Iowa, hundreds of potential employers now recognize the NCRC as part of their hiring processes, including roughly 300 in the region that includes Jasper County. This is part of the privately funded Skilled Iowa program offered by Iowa Workforce Development. Through Skilled Iowa, the NCRC assessments are offered free of charge to any Iowan, regardless of income or employment status. Likewise, WorkKeys remedial training programs and retesting for the NCRC assessments are also
Other students acknowledged the principal’s strength in the face of the Stage IV lung cancer she battled last year, talking about how her concern remained with her students throughout the process and how she kept them up-to-date on her treatment and successes. As for Langstraat, she was visibly shocked at the thunderous applause that greeted her upon entering the award ceremony. When she took the stage, her first move was to share the credit with the rest of the faculty and staff of the district. “I don’t take credit for a whole lot of things … I’m a team player,” Langstraat said. “Those shirts they’re wearing, ‘No one will fight for our students like us,’ that’s the truth … All those teachers in the back, they deserve this too.” She went on to explain the school is her second family, education her true calling, and that she saw herself as being the fortunate one for getting to wake up each day and go to a job she loved. The Golden Apple Award is given by WHO-HD and Allied Insurance once a month to an educator who is nominated by his or her students. The organizations receive thousands of letters each year, judge each one, and have to narrow the field to the person who they deem is the best fit for the recognition.

Mom-to-be wants husband to join her on the wagon DEAR ABBY: I’m three months pregnant. Before I got pregnant, my husband and I enjoyed having wine with dinner or a margarita when we were out on the town. We didn’t drink to excess, but have enjoyed alcohol in moderation. Obviously, I can’t drink anymore, but my husband carries on like nothing has changed. I’m becoming resentful every time we go out to eat. I asked him once if he’d quit drinking until our baby arrives. He looked shocked and said, “Why? I’m not pregnant.” I guess I feel left out because he’s having fun. I want him to suffer with me, and this is really getting on my nerves. Any advice? — RESENTFUL IN TENNESSEE DEAR RESENTFUL: Yes. If you feel you are missing out on “fun” if you can’t drink, you have a potential alcohol problem. Tell your husband that when he drinks in front of you, it makes you crave alcohol, and ask again that he respect your feelings and not do it. A considerate husband and father-to-be should respect that you are doing the heavy lifting (literally) and help all he can. DEAR ABBY: I’m a 28-year-old man who was born disabled. I have not had a date in years. I’d like to date and have a girlfriend, but when women look at me, all they see is my wheelchair. I’m a good person, well-mannered, respectful, caring and compassionate. Any advice you can offer would be appreciated. — LONELY IN ILLINOIS DEAR LONELY: I’m glad you wrote because it’s important that you not allow yourself to be isolated. Get out and participate in activities you enjoy that include like-minded people. While you may have been born disabled, I’m sure you have abilities and talents that would be welcomed if you choose to volunteer them. If you haven’t already, search the various online dating sites for both disabled and nondisabled individuals or contact a disability advocacy organization for guidance or to help you get access. Seek advice within the disabled community (in per-
son or online) from individuals who have more experience with dating than you do. They can also help you navigate any physical barriers that might prevent you from dating, if that’s an issue. There’s a saying, “Seek and ye shall find,” and it applies in your situation. I wish you the best of luck. DEAR ABBY: My husband’s much older sister has no problem calling to ask for money, but never calls just to say hello or to see how he’s doing. This has been going on for almost 10 years. She’ll tell us she or her sons need it for bills or school expenses. He has talked to her about it, but nothing has changed. We both work hard, while she refuses to ask the children’s father for a cent. Should we continue to give her money because it may affect our nephews if we don’t? — AUNT IN THE SOUTH DEAR AUNT: That you have tolerated this for 10 years tells me you and your husband are kindhearted and responsible people, and I respect that. However, fathers have a legal responsibility to support their children, and your sister-in-law should make sure it happens whether that involves hiring an attorney to help or applying for funds from the state to see her boys are taken care of. If you must give her money, give her enough for a consultation with an attorney because “Sissie” appears to have been using you.

Special to the Daily News Members of the Newton Lions Club will be flipping pancakes Saturday at their annual fall pancake breakfast. Each year the club selects a charity or charities to award the breakfast proceeds to. For this event, the club has selected Lions Leader Dogs for the Blind, which has a unique Newton connection. Lions clubs originated in the United States in 1917. By 1920, Lions became international with the establishment of the first club in Canada. Today, Lions Clubs International is the world’s largest service club organization. Lions have 1.35 million members in more than 46,000 clubs worldwide. Lions are in every corner of the world, existing in more than 207 countries and geographic areas. The current Newton Lions Club was chartered in October 2009 after having a 25-year absence of Lions in the community. In 1925, Helen Keller, a deaf and blind person, addressed the Lions Clubs International convention in Cedar Point, Ohio, and challenged Lions to become “knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness.” Since then, Lions have worked tirelessly to aid the blind and visually impaired. While historically this has been a main focus of the service clubs, they do much more. The overall mission of the Lions clubs is to empower volunteers to serve their communities, meet humanitarian needs, encourage peace, and promote international understanding. In 1939, three Lions club members founded Leader Dogs for the Blind, a guide dog training school located in Rochester Hills, Mich. It is the second guide dog school founded in the U.S. and has paired more than 14,000 dogs with the visually impaired worldwide, making it one of the largest organizations of its kind. Leader Dogs is a nonprofit organization. All expenses, including room and board, airfare, and the dog itself, are offered free of charge. An applicant, after being accepted into the program, travels to Leader Dogs’ headquarters and must

spend from 19 to 26 days of training with his or her new dog, after which the dog belongs to the applicant officially. In 2002, Leader Dogs for the Blind began a relationship with Iowa Prisons. The first to participate was North Central Correctional Facility at Rockwell City. In 2010, the Correctional Release Center in Newton and the Fort Dodge Correctional Facility began their partnerships with Leader Dogs for the Blind. Selected inmates in these facilities are paired with puppies which will eventually go on to be trained as guide dogs for the blind. The raising of a puppy in a prison is like puppy kindergarten, but it is also very instrumental. The puppy learns basic commands such as sit, stay, down, come, and heel. It receives socialization by having lots of interaction with humans, other dogs, and even sometimes other animals. When a puppy graduates puppy kindergarten after about a year, it goes on to Leader Dogs for the Blind in Rochester,
Michigan, which is like a high-end college. At puppy college they receive more extensive training such as curb work, traffic work and much more that is not available except from certified trainers. Prison personnel are also instrumental in the success of the program. Sometimes merely a love for animals allows for a little common ground with prisoners and personnel. The prisoners appreciate this link to society. It allows them the chance to do something positive with their time as well as a sense of pride knowing they are giving back and helping someone else. The goal is to eventually help improve the life of a blind person by pairing them up with a Leader Dog and enabling them to live more independently. The Correctional Release Center at Newton has had a total of 28 puppies so far. Four have gone on to Leader Dogs for the Blind school, one was a career change for medical reasons, and ten are currently being raised at Newton. Donations pay for the expenses incurred for the care of
the puppies while they are at the prison. The cost per puppy is $500. The Newton Lions Club’s fundraising pancake breakfast will be from 7 to 10 a.m. Saturday at the Jasper County Senior Citizens Center at 702 E. Third St. S. in Newton with all proceeds collected benefiting the Leader Dog puppy program at the Newton prison. The cost of the meal is $5 for those ages 12 and up and $3 for children age 11 and younger. The all-youcan-eat meal consists of buttermilk pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage links and beverages. Two local businesses, Cappy’s Tire & Auto Service and Newton Clinic P.C. Physicians & Surgeons, donated all of the food for the breakfast so that 100 percent of the proceeds will go to the prison puppy program. The public is invited to attend the breakfast. Those interested in learning more about the Lions or who would like to donate to Leader Dogs for the Blind may contact Newton Lions Club president Jack Ayres at (641) 792-4330.

Jenkins Continued from Page 1A seemed liked the entire town shut down everything to get to that stadium and support their team, led by John.” “I will always be proud to call John a friend, and the state of Iowa is a much better place because of his efforts.” Frontotemporal Dementia Those years of hosting camps, watching football tapes and leading the team to the post-season are now over for John. A few years ago, he was diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, a disease commonly known as Pick’s Disease. It’s rare. Only 5 to 10 percent of total patients who suffer from dementia have FTD, a brain disorder resulted from a progressive deterioration of the frontal lobe, according to the Alzheimer’s Association. Additional proteins to the frontal lobe cause drastic behavior and mood changes, a decline in language capabilities and eventually affect memory, but unlike Alzheimer’s disease, FTD begins at an earlier age, between 45 and 65, and progresses more rapidly. When John had started showing symptoms of dementia, difficulty with social interaction and uncharacteristic moods and behaviors, Jo and the boys recognized something was terribly

wrong and sought help. His wife, Jo, was relentless with those in the medical field and insists getting help was vital to reducing the symptoms and continuing a functioning lifestyle. “He’s very happy, easy going, and it’s because we got help right away. That’s what is important, is that people recognize the symptoms and seek help,” Jo said. John is now on medication that helps his mood and behavior; however, the disease itself continues to worsen. It is evident his short-term memory is almost gone, while the long-term memories deteriorates every day. He faintly remembers their first house by the stadium, but he cannot recall making ice cream the day before. New Routine Writing a book about life, being the grandfather he wanted to be and enjoying the leisure of retirement with his family are dreams that can no longer be fulfilled. Like each family that struggles with dementia, the Jenkins have learned to adapted to a new routine. “A lot of the things he taught the boys about perseverance and doing the right thing, even when it’s not easy, are put into play now as they help their mom,” current head coach Ed Ergenbright said. The family has come to accept the unfortunate, but it was really hard at first, youngest son James said. John visits Willowbrook Adult Day Center five days a week, and he and
Jo enjoy spending evenings and weekends with family. “Willowbrook is a godsend to our community, and other facilities we have in this community are phenomenal,” Jo said. They especially love to spend time with the three granddaughters, Alex, Chloe and Josie. “He loves to watch children shows with Josie, and I just get a kick out of watching them laugh,” Jo said. “It’s those little moments that I love. I’ve learned to slow time and not to get wrapped up in the busy world.” The couple have started going to football games again. On Fridays, they go to Newton home games, cheer on the Cardinals and watch James assistant coach as his dad once did. On Saturdays, they travel to Oskaloosa, cheer on the Statesmen and see Jake assistant coach where his dad once starred. All three sons are certified and have coached since graduating high school, and there was nothing that could have made John more proud than to have his sons coach. Although he could not elaborate, John said, “The boys coaching made me proud. Absolutely.” Adjusting “It’s been hard on everyone in our family because he’s always been the rock, and he always gave the best advice. He was always good at stepping back from a situation, making it relatable or helping people make good decisions,” Jake said. “It’s hard not to
have the advice anymore. We’re not capable to have those conversations.” “What I miss most are our deep conversations about our shared philosophy. He gets real lucid and tells me to keep trying,” Jo said. Despite the disease, John’s math skills have yet to falter, and he still corrects Jo on her spelling. He hasn’t lost his navigation skills yet, either. Coach Jenkins is still a coach at heart. There are a few things that help make the change a little bearable, like knowing how many young lives John touched, how much goodness and help are out there and that all of his knowledge, wisdom and goodness were once put to good use. Faith is a key factor in helping the Jenkins family right now too. “We get by with the grace of God, and without faith we couldn’t go anywhere,” Jo said. “Having this happen in a small town has also been a blessing, because the town has embraced us.” John had always said that we can’t control the elements in life, but we can control how we react to them. “We can adjust to anything,” he said. Coach Jenkins’ contributions to the young lives of his players had a trickle-down effect on the entire community. Whether a parent, teacher or student, the town has been influenced for the better because of the set of morals John taught students. His passion to help athletes succeed both on and off the field was the guiding light for the team and the town for a joyous 17 years. By installing in them the lessons, fundamentals and tools to make their dreams come true, Coach Jenkins continues to have a positive effect on anyone who has the pleasure of knowing him. Although John has begun to lose many of those priceless, long-term memories — like going to Hawaii, coaching the Shrine Bowl or salmon fishing with the boys — his family, friends and players remember every memory vividly. “Before a playoff game, during my sophomore year, all the coaches were going around and shaking our hands while we were stretching. Coach J was so intense that he shook my hand and then smacked me in the back of the head as he walked by. It almost knocked me over,” Bollhoefer laughed. “His intensity was unmatched by anyone I have ever met. At that moment, I laughed. I knew that I would run through a brick wall for a guy like that. His intensity was one of my favorite parts of playing football for him. It was truly an honor.” John Jenkins’ commitment, dedication and compassion will remain unforgettable.

Newton fifth-graders learn value of art By Ty Rushing Daily News Staff Writer If you saw mobs of fifth-graders out of class and patrolling the streets on Wednesday, have no fear. They were out learning. In what is becoming a popular annual event, fifth-grade students from Aurora Heights and Woodrow Wilson elementary schools visited different sites around Newton to learn about various sculptures, statues, memorials, murals and landmarks. This is done to help spur the children’s civic pride and allow them to gain a greater appreciation for the arts. One of the key components of this year’s tour was the prevention of vandalism. “Over the years, kids have been able to make connection with local art,” AH fifth-grade teacher Jack Crandell said. “It allows them to see art in a different way. The docents have talked about the effects of vandalism and how it hurts art. When we get back, the kids, I hear them talk about it. It really seems to diminish the acts of vandalism, because they are more aware of the arts and the artists.”
Ty Rushing/Daily News Docent JaneAnne Cotton explains the history of “Sir RustA-Lot,” the dragon sculpture that resides on the lawn of the Newton Public Library, to Jack Crandell’s fifth-grade class from Aurora Heights Elementary.
Mary Bruhn served as one of the docents and played a crucial role in the anti-vandalism talk. She provided the students with an example by telling the history of the “Love at First Sight” sculpture by Neal Deaton, which was moved from Sersland Park to Skiff Medical Center. “The sculpture was vandalized,” she said. “It was very valuable, and I guess Neal took it (back), and it took him about three months to repair it. They needed to find a new safe site for it, and they moved it to Skiff. It’s not outside anymore. It’s across from radiology.” According to the most recent estimates by the
district, there are 228 fifth-grade students at both AH and WW. Students at both schools seemed to take to the anti-vandalism message and expanded their artistic views as well. “We learned about how the (sculpture) had been taken out because it had been damaged,” WW fifth-grader Anthony Moran said. “We (also) learned that copper can turn green when it’s not cleaned a lot.” “There is a whole a bunch of different art that people can come and look at,” AH fifth-grader Sydni Followill said. “And a whole bunch of different artist made them,
and they’re about different things. We’ve (also) learned about the people that made them.” The tour showcased more than a dozen works of art and had stops in downtown, the Jasper County Historical Museum, Newton Senior High School, the arboretum and the library. Every docent gave unique information and some used personal stories to enhance the experience. Marta Ford, dressed in fatigues at the Jasper County Veteran Memorial. Sue Pickett, who was in charge of the “Newton Print shop” mural on the side of the Daily News circulation building, brought along her husband Bud. Bud explained the printing process show in the mural in great detail. While each stop was informative and had its own fun factor, the most popular stop seemed to be “Sir Rust-A-Lot,” the giant, metal-dragon sculpture located on the lawn of Newton Public Library. “Every artist puts their name on their project that they do,” Jessie Johnson said. “And on the lizard, it was hard to find their name and it was on the foot.

Area runners take on challenging PCM cross country course By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor MONROE — There was one glitch at the 2013 PCM Invitational cross country meet Thursday. Times for the girls’ varsity/junior varsity races are 25 seconds short because of a clock-operator error, according to PCM head coach Eric Karr. “Other than that, we had a great home meet,” Karr said. “For our varsity boys and girls, they didn’t have the times I was hoping for, but that didn’t really surprise me. I worked them incredibly hard on Monday and Tuesday, not to mention our course is not even close to easy. “Effort wise, form wise, mental toughness wise, they are right where I want them. I reminded our kids that the race that counts is in a month, and that race is based on places not times.” North Polk captured the boys’ varsity title with 46 points. Knoxville was a distant second with 90 points. Collins-Maxwell/Baxter was the top local team, finishing seventh with 183 points, followed by Pella Christian with 188 points and Lynnville-Sully with 236 for eighth and ninth, respectively. Prairie City-Monroe’s Mustangs ended up 13th at their home meet with 341 points. Colfax-Mingo was 14th with 374 points. The meet was held at Gatewood Golf Course in Monroe. Ballard claimed the top honors in the varsity girls’ race with 68 points. Lynnville-Sully finished second with 87 points. CMB took fifth with 153 points and Pella Christian placed eighth with 216 points. The PCM Mustang girls finished ninth with 242 points. Colfax-Mingo was 11th with 256 points in the field of 13 teams. CMB’s Mark Deutsch turned in the top performance by area runners in the boys’ race. Deutsch ran the 5K distance in 19 minutes, 7.81 seconds. Jacob Lensing of Pella Christian earned the 10th-place medal in 19:12.62. Colin Thomason of CMB ran 16th in 19:43.30. Lynnville-Sully’s No. 1 runner of the day was Canyon Kuhlmann in 19:47.49. PCM’s Matt Chizek had the early lead in the race, which was won by Peter Smith of North Polk in 17:20.55. Chizek earned the final medal of the race for 25th in 20:02.79. Joining Chizek for the Mustangs were Chris Ellens in 81st in 22:13, Mark Bruxvoort in 139th in 24:47, Connor Brey in 144th in 25:13, and Lucas Rains in 161st in 26:55. Deutsch and Thomason led the CMB Raiders to

seventh place. Calvin Jones placed 52nd in 21:13.28, Drake Caple finished 69th in 21:50.36, and Brock Johnston was 77th in 22:07.67. Others running for the Raiders and placing were: 88. Jacob Hallett, 22:38.18, 90. Eric Hall-Flooden, 22:42.90, 103. Connor Johnson, 23:09.35, 126. Lincoln Brown,
24:00.78, 176. Curtis Jones, 29:40.41. “I couldn’t be more happy with our teams tonight. They raced well, competed at a high level, and they all did the very best they could tonight. None of my athletes were happy with their times,” said Jerry Meinerts, CMB head coach. “I don’t want to make excuses for them, but this is a difficult, hilly course on a hot-windy afternoon. The conditions were not the best for running fast times. But, they showed a lot of heart and competed right where they should be this time of the season. I’m excited where we are right now in our training,” Meinerts added. Pella Christian’s No. 2 runner on the day was Grant Dunsbergen, finishing 30th in 20:19. Jonathan Beltman placed 46th in 20:51, Scott Haveman was 54th in 21:22, and Samuel Dahm was 70th in 21:55. Sam Lensing placed 115th in 23:28, David Dykstra placed 148th in 25:23 and Alex Vink was 173rd in 28:42. Running unattached, but from Pella Christian, were: 95. Gabriel Soler, 22:45, 142. Zack Shen, 24.57, 156. Kelvin Ouyang, 26:08. “Our athletes had great races. It wasn’t a fast course for times. The course was very challenging and hilly,” said Jocelyn Meinders, Pella Christian head coach. “Our team looked very competitive, both in the boys’ race and girls’ race, with the other schools at the meet. “Jacob had another strong showing resulting in a medal. Grant continues to compete well .” Combining with Kuhlmann for Lynnville-Sully’s team score were Ben Trettin in 63rd at 21:33.23, Talon Woods in 64th at 21:35.59, Jake Brand in 66th at 21:39.05, and Nic Lirio in 89th at 22:39.49.

A life without Mo Rivera When I came up with the concept of “Turing the Page”, the basic idea for the column was to give you an avenue through which I would look ahead to upcoming events in By Dustin Turner sports or culture for Daily News that matter. Sports Writer With the MLB postseason a mere few days away and my Red Sox having clinched the division for the first time in six years, I expected to want to write about the phenomenal regular season I
have had with this collection of unshaven, misbehaving bunch, but I fould myself at a loss for words, and as you can imagine, that doesn’t happen much. Something else has been weighing on my mind, and it has to do with the last player in Baseball history to wear Jackie Robinson’s famous No. 42 — Mariano “the Sandman” Rivera. There are two reasons that the all-time great has been on my mind. One of them is an overall positive and the other is a total negative that absolutely confounds me. TURNER See Page 2B
Richardson, Wimberly carry Iowa State past Tulsa TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Sam Richardson completed 26 of 41 passes for 255 yards and two touchdowns, and Aaron Wimberly ran for 137 yards on 19 carries to help Iowa State beat Tulsa 38-21 on Thursday night. Jeff Woody had three short scores, and the Cyclones took advantage of four Tulsa turnovers to improve to 1-2. Tulsa dropped to 1-3. Tulsa quarterback Cody Green lost control twice on exchanges with a running back in the first half, then dropped a ball behind him attempting to pass on the first possession of
the second half. He was replaced a series later by redshirt freshman Dane Evans, who failed to generate any offense. Green returned in the fourth quarter, throwing a 26-yard touchdown pass to Thomas Roberson before being intercepted on his next possession. Green finished 18 of 31 for 237 yards with two touchdowns and the interception. Iowa State took a 7-0 lead on a 13-play, 89-yard drive capped by Woody’s 1-yard blast. Tulsa tied it on Trey Watts’ 1-yard run. The evenly played first half ended knotted at 14.

Raiders take four-set HOI conference win at Colfax By Dustin Turner Daily News Sports Writer COLFAX — Playing hard is the most any coach can ask for. Colfax-Mingo volleyball coach Brian Warrick came away from his team’s four-set loss (25-13, 25-18, 21-25, 25-19) to Collins-Maxwell/Baxter on Thursday night displeased with the loss, but at the same time, he was proud of his players’ hustle, something he said has not been on full display at certain points this season. “The girls played hard. They gave it their maximum effort. We had a couple slow times, but overall, we played hard,” Warrick said. “We kept balls alive that other times, we haven’t kept them alive because we haven’t played as hard as we did tonight. We scored points when we hit the ball in. We just didn’t hit enough.” Meanwhile, Scott Ranck’s CMB team has been on a roll, with this the team’s second straight Heart of Iowa Conference win of the week. It appears the team is starting to figure some things out. “I am really proud of how far our girls have come and how they have responded to situations so far this year. It is always good to get the win,” Ranck said. “We have pulled our record up to .500, a place CMB volleyball hasn’t been in five years. The girls are really excited about that and are starting to see that the hard work they have put in during the off-season, as well as the regular season, is starting to pay off. “ Set 1 started with a 1-0 lead in favor of the Tigerhawks after CMB’s dig went into the net. A kill by Payge Jurgens made the score 1-1. Abbie Haupert racked up back-to-back kills to give the Raiders an edge. Alex Hiavacek hit on an ace to make it 4-2. The
Tigerhawks saw a few of their kill attempts sail past the end line, falling behind 8-3. Katie Ziesman pushed the ball over the net to take a 9-3 lead. C-M got the ball back in their possession, and a kill attempt by Jurgens missed the mark to bring the home team within four. CM’s next serve was out. A diving dig by Haupert later in the set put the Raiders ahead 13-6. Following that dig and subsequent kill, Warrick called for a timeout. Coming out of the timeout, Mackenzie Schmitz hit an ace. A later ace by Ziesman gave CMB a 16-8 lead. C-M had a tip over the net by Jade Lewis followed by an ace by Riley Thompson to make it a seven point set. One of the Tigerhawks crossed over the line on a play at the net to give the visitors the ball back. An ace by Hannah McWhirter made it 19-10. Abbey Applegate hit an ace that was followed by a vicious spike by Haupert to make it 2411. C-M picked up a late ace by Allison Teed, but CMB closed out the set 25-13. Jurgens kicked off the second set for the Raiders with an ace. Later, a kill gave the Tigerhawks a 4-2 lead. CMB fought back to claim a 5-4 lead, but the Tigerhawks tied it back at five. A C-M dig sailed wide, giving CMB a 6-5 lead. C-M rallied back and reclaimed the lead on an ace by Lewis. A couple hits by CMB went into the net, making it 8-6. Haupert powered home a spike to pull within one. CMB retook the lead at 10-9. The two teams traded blows until CMB called a timeout after falling behind 16-14. It was the Raiders in possession of the ball when Applegate took control with her serves. She hit two straight aces and forced difficult returns. Up 20-16, she put away another ace, forcing Warrick to use a timeout. With Lewis serv-
ing, C-M got back within three points, but a couple balls flew into the net for the Tigerhawks, giving CMB a 25-18 win. The third set began with the Raiders hitting one into the net, which was followed by a service error by the Tigerhawks. C-M got the ball right back when the Tigerhawks also missed a serve. Brodka spiked one home, giving the Tigerhawks a 5-1 lead. Another ace by Teed made it 8-4. Thompson scored a kill on the next point. Two points later, Jurgens hit a kill to pull within three. C-M pulled away, and an ace by Amy Russell gave it a six-point edge. An ace to put the Tigerhawks up seven, and CMB coach Scott Ranck called for a timeout. With the Tigerhawks one point away from a third-set victory, the Raiders began to rally. CMB pulled within three points, but a ball into the net forced the match to continue to a fourth set. “They played hard all night, but it seemed like they were tougher in Set 3,” Warrick said. “The first set, I looked up at one point, and we were down 19-11, and it didn’t feel like we were playing bad enough to be behind that much. We were playing well, and it was weird how we fell behind.” Feeding off the momentum from their third-set win, the Tigerhawks jumped out to a 2-0 lead. CMB fought back to win the next three points, and the match was tied at four after a C-M serve sailed into the net. A kill by Dakota Brodka gave C-M a 5-4 lead. With Ziesman serving, CMB took a 9-6 lead, and an ace made it 10-6. At 116, C-M called another timeout. C-M got the next two point out of the timeout, but fell behind 19-11 after three aces by Jurgens. Haupert hit two straight kills to make it 22-11. At 24-12, CMB

rallied for seven straight points, before the match ended on a service error. “We came out playing very well the first set. The girls really got excited when Abbie Haupert thundered a hit to the floor towards the end,” Ranck said. “Second set, we started a little slow, and I called time out when we were down 14-16. The team responded by passing the ball well while Abbey Appelgate served up four or five aces. We came out really flat the third set and played catch-up. Credit C-M for not giving up and taking advantage of our mistakes. The fourth set, the girls really stepped it up, we got our serving going once again, and MacKenzie Schmitz was dead on with her setting for our hitters.” Despite the team’s effort, the loss is the headline for the Tiger-
hawks. Warrick saw some specific places for improvement, and he’s confident the team will work through those areas. “We have some stuff to work on, but we’ll get there. We need to work on a lot of transition stuff, positioning,” Warrick said. “The other team hit at us, and we left some gaps open. It’s things the girls know what to do, it’s just a matter of practicing it.” Applegate stuck out on the night, hitting 20-for-22 serving with eight aces. She also had two kills and eight digs. Haupert led in kills and digs with 14 digs and 11 kills. Jurgens had eight kills and two blocks. She also had four aces, hitting 13-for-15 serving. Schmitz led with 17 assists. Schmitz stood out serving as well, hitting 14-for-17 with four aces.
Turner: Sad to see Rivera ending his Hall of Fame career in Houston Continued from Page 1B First, as a Red Sox fan, I am sad to see the great Mo hang up his cleats. He was always the most classy individual on the baseball diamond. He never showed anybody up. Mo went about his business with a certain confidence that he didn’t need to show you up. In an era of elaborate celebrations from a guy who just pitched one-ninth of a baseball game, Mo ended every save with a cool high five and a sigh of relief. Other closers have feigned intimidation, the Giants’ Brian Wilson had the now-infamous “beard” and former Red Sox great Jonathan Papelbon was famous for pursing his lips and taking about a year and a half to deliver a pitch,
but Mo never needed to do that. He was a humble man from Panama who realized not only how good he was, but how lucky he was to have his job — a job he would hold for 19 seasons. Red Sox fans love to hate the Yankees, but there have been two or maybe three guys over the past 20 years that have gained the ultimate respect from “the Nation”, and one of them is the Sandman. I will miss Mo for two reasons — his greatness, and the fact that for the last 10 years or so, we have pretty much owned him. What has me upset is not Rivera’s timing or the fact that he’s leaving, but my grudge is with MLB. When the league first came up with the idea for a daily interleague game, I was in favor of
it, because it’s nice to see different teams get the opportunity to play your team. However, MLB should have changed its mind on this particular matchup. Instead of Rivera ending his career in the new Yankee Stadium, a house he helped build, against a team he has faced more than any other (cough, cough Boston, cough, cough) in front of 60,000 people, he is forced to spend the weekend in baseball’s equivalent to the middle of nowhere — Houston. The Astros played a game recently that went head-to-head with the NFL’s Sunday games and received a TV rating of 0. Nobody watched. No-bod-y. Rivera may very well have a save chance on Sunday, his last of a career amassing more than 600, and that save would
Middle school runners compete at PCM Invitational By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor MONROE — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s Shasta Moody won the middle school girls’ two-mile race at Thursday’s PCM Invitational cross country meet. Moody ran the race in 14 minutes, 41.71 seconds on the Gatewood Golf Course in Monore. Moody led the CMB middle school girls to the team title with 38 points. Prairie CityMonroe was second at its own meet with 51 points. Colfax-Mingo placed sixth with 121 points. “Two years ago we didn’t have a single girl out for middle school cross country. Now, second place at our home meet, it’s amazing, just amazing,” said Eric Karr, PCM cross country coach. There were five individual medals awarded in each of the races. PCM’s girls and the CMB girls’ each collected two of those medals. Along with Moody for CMB, Brenna Thomson finished fifth in 15:41.52. Ellie Steenhoek claimed third for PCM in 15:10.66, followed by teammate Baylee Smith in fourth at 15:30.78. “Ellie and Baylee led the way again going step-for-step until the last 50 meters. The seventh-grade girls then finished strong to get us the points we needed,” Karr said. “On the boys’ side, another strong race by Brady North, placing seventh.”
come against one of the most destitute baseball cities ever known to Man. The second Rivera said he was retiring, which was all the way back in February, MLB should have changed this for everyone’s sake. Instead, Mo will be forced to close the door in front of maybe 20,000 people in a city that means nothing to his personal history. With that being said, I am sad to see Mo go. It’s truly the end of an era of class and dominance for New Yorks No. 1 baseball team. Jeter is one foot out the door, and the great Rivera will no longer don the pinstripes. I can’t say I’m going to miss the heartbreak of watching them dance in the postseason, but the drama of a Red Sox-Yankees playoff game will probably never be the same

It’s really like a roller coaster ride that doesn’t have much of a flat section, just always going up and down and turning corners. Add in a return of 80 degree temps and strong wind and all the runners were in for a battle tonight,” said Darin Arkema, Lynnville-Sully head coach. “We had a couple of tough workouts, running and lifting weights, earlier in the week, so kids maybe had some soreness or tight muscles and didn’t feel real fresh tonight.” Jimmy Abel was the first Colfax-Mingo Tigerhawk to finish the race.

Daily News
Spaying, neutering curbs pet overpopulation, makes pets healthier Lisa Gibbons Special to the Daily News The most common surgeries performed in small animal veterinary medicine are spays and neuters. Traditionally, dogs and cats are altered to assist in population control. While the Humane Society of the United States reports about 6-8 million animals are admitted annually into shelters across the country, it also estimates 3-4 million of these animals are euthanized each year due to the lack of available homes. This astounding number does not account for stray animals living and dying alone “on the streets.” Health concerns and extending the quality of pets’ lives have also become a major incentive to altering our pets. Many serious health risks can be minimized or prevented altogether with spaying and neutering — especially if done at an early age.
Submitted Photo Mike “ScratchDub” Husted and Brandon “KissDa Cook” Cook will be performing in a free all-ages show at the Capitol II Theater after tonight’s football game.
Local musicians giving free show to help Capitol II Theater By Ty Rushing Daily News Staff Writer Is there anything better than the word free? There aren’t many things that are, and tonight, after the Cardinals square off against Grinnell, citizens are invited to a free all-ages show at the Capitol II Theater featuring local talent. Brandon “KissDa Cook” Cook will be rapping, and
Mike “ScratchDub” Husted will be doing a DJ set. The theater will have concessions for sale, and freewill donations will be accepted. Cook is excited about the chance to perform for his hometown and help out the theater. “The whole idea was for it to be a community project,” Cook said. “I had a vision to help out the movie theater in my own
way and also to have a positive show in Newton. I put two and two together and thought, ‘I might as well talk to the Bleeker family.’” Cook said the Bleekers were very open-minded about the idea, but they wanted to make sure it was a family friendly show before agreeing to do it. MUSICIANS See Page 2C
Health Benefits There are many health benefits to having your pet altered. A study done in May of 2013 revealed that pets that live in the states with the highest rates of spaying/neutering also live the longest. According to the report, neutered male dogs live 18 percent longer than un-neutered male dogs and spayed female dogs live 23 percent longer than unspayed female dogs, The report goes on to add that in Mississippi, the lowest-ranking state for pet longevity, 44 percent of the dogs are not neutered or spayed. Part of the reduced life span of unaltered pets can be attributed to their increased urge to roam,
exposing them to fights with other animals, getting struck by cars and other mishaps. Another contributor to the increased longevity of altered pets involves the reduced risk of certain types of cancers. Unspayed female cats and dogs have a far greater chance of developing pyrometra (a fatal uterine infection), uterine, breast and other cancers of the reproductive system. Medical evidence indicates that females spayed before their first heat cycle are typically healthier. (Many veterinarians now alter dogs and cats as young as eight weeks of age.) Male pets that are neutered eliminate their chances of getting testicular cancer, and it is believed they have lowered rates of prostate cancer, as well. Behavior Benefits Many undesirable behaviors can occur when pets are unaltered. Dogs are usually much more assertive and are prone to urine marking than neutered dogs. Although it is most often associated with male dogs, this can also happen in female dogs. Intact male cats have an extremely strong urge to spray. Spaying or neutering your dog or cat should reduce urine-marking and may stop it all together. The simplest solution is to alter them before the behavior of spraying is learned. According to the Veterinarian Medical Association neutering solves 90 percent of all marking issues, even cats that have been doing it for awhile. It can also minimize howling, the urge to roam and fighting with other males. PETS See Page 2C
Gene Vande Lune heads up veteran’s memorial By Matthew Nosco Daily News Staff Writer “I’d been around, and a lot of other towns had a memorial to the veterans. Prairie City didn’t have anything like that, and I knew it’d be a good idea.” Gene Vande Lune is a Prairie City resident, Army veteran from the Korean War, and the man responsible for much of the planning and implementation in securing a veteran’s memorial for the community. Gene had heard about funds coming into several different community organizations as part of a community member’s will. Several churches, along with the Lion’s Club, were going to receive funding that they could use for various projects. After the Lion’s Club, of which Gene is a member, had allocated funding to several different projects it was working on, there was still some money left over. He
came forward and proposed the memorial in the town square. “For a lot of people, like those in Korea and Vietnam, they didn’t get much recognition for what they did,” Gene said. The memorial was a way to remedy that in Prairie City, helping to honor those that served, in any time period or conflict. A committee was put together to help plan the memorial, and while Gene wasn’t on the committee, he was incredibly active in offering his advice and guidance to the project. After a while the reins of the project were
handed over and in May of 2011, the Veterans Memorial was purchased from Watts Monument Co. and installed by them. Gene saw the opportunity to continue raising funds for the project, as well as bestow individual recognition for community veterans, so he went about selling bricks. He had determined that if 100 people were to buy a single brick at $100 each, that they would have enough funding to continue with the memorial. He put out a call to pledge in the paper and in no time he had 100. Then he had 120. Eventually he had right around 160 pledges, far exceeding his original goal. “We’ve got the information and everything for around 150 of them so far,” Gene said. “We still have a few pledges that we’re waiting on.” The memorial bricks being purchased represent a huge cross section of veterans, from those
Matthew Nosco/Daily News Gene Vande Lune lays a brick in front of the existing Veterans Memorial in Prairie City to demonstrate how they will appear when all of the bricks are laid. Applications for area veterans, and donations for the memorial are still being accepted.
that are still on active duty in the services to long-dead POW and MIA veterans as well as the famous Herschel Briles from World War II. “There’s applications in the grocery stores, the barber shop and the Roberts brothers,” Gene said. “There isn’t going to be an end. After
they’re installed, people can still sign up to get a brick.” Although the application process will be ongoing, Gene hopes that people will try to get them in before the bricks are placed in the spring of 2014. After that they will have to wait until there are 10 applications at a time for the engrav-
ers to come out, which could take significantly longer. Applications for Prairie City area veterans and donations to the project can be sent to PO Box 1, Prairie City, IA. 50228. Staff writer Matt Nosco may be contacted at (515) 674-3591 or at mnosco@ newtondailynews.com.

Musicians Continued from Page 1C “We rehearsed for their daughter’s slumber party as a way to figure out sound, and they loved it, and so they pursued it,” he said. Cook said he has been rapping for about four years, he does it for fun and has no plans to become famous. He also describes himself as a “motivational rapper” and likes to focus on positive things in his rhymes. He said he is also grateful his church, Come As You Are Newton or CAYA, lent him sound equipment and Todd Stein lent him lighting equipment. He doesn’t want to reveal too much about how the performance will go, but he promises it won’t be the “typical rap show.” “The outcome is in God’s hands,” Cook said. The show is scheduled to start once the football game ends or 10 p.m., whichever comes first at the Capitol II Theater on the east side of the square. Staff writer Ty Rushing may be contacted at (641) 792-3121, ext. 426, or at trushing@newtondailynews.com.

Continued from Page 1C In both dogs and cats, the longer you wait, the greater the risk you run of the surgery not doing the trick because the behavior is so ingrained. Other behaviors that can be corrected by spay/neuter include: • Roaming, especially when females are “in heat.” • Aggression: Studies also show that most dog bites involve dogs who are unaltered. • Barking excessively, mounting, and other dominance-related behaviors. While getting your pets spayed/neutered can help curb undesirable behaviors, it will not change their overall personality. Financial Benefits When you factor in the long-term costs potentially incurred by a non-altered pet, the savings afforded by spay/neuter are clear. Caring for a pet with reproductive system cancer or pyometra can easily run into the thousands of dollars — five to 10 times as much as a routine spay surgery. Additionally, unaltered pets can be more destructive or high strung around other dogs. Serious fighting is more common between unaltered pets and can incur high veterinary costs. In Newton and most other communities you will receive a discount on your pet license fees if your pet is altered. Community Benefits • Communities spend millions of dollars to control unwanted pets. • Animal shelters around the country are overburdened with surplus pets. • Stray and homeless dogs and cats get into trash containers, urinate and defecate on private lawns and/or public property. • Some stray dogs and cats scare away or kill wildlife and birds. Spaying or neutering is an important decision for pet owners and it can be the single best decision you make for your pets long-term welfare.

This Week at the Library
Computer classes, crafts, e-reader assistance and more By Nicole Lindstrom Newton Public Library Affordable Care Act: Health Insurance Marketplace No doubt you’ve been starting to hear about the new Health InsuranceMarketplace, a key part of the health care law that will be open for business on Oct. 1. But you probably still have questions. The best place for the latest, most accurate, information on the Marketplace is the updated website, HealthCare.gov. At the site, you can learn what it is, who can apply for insurance, how to get insurance, how to lower your costs, and more. You can participate in an online web chat on the website (Healthcare.gov) or call a toll free number, 1-800-
318-2596, to speak with a trained customer service representative. The library has Internet access workstations available for patrons and handouts to help you get started with the Health Insurance Marketplace. The library advises those not familiar with the Internet to bring a trusted friend or family member along to help, library staff will be unable to assist in the enrollment process. Computer Classes The library has released its schedule for upcoming computer classes. See it at www. newton.lib.ia.us/ser vices/ classes. Thanks to the Jasper Community Foundation grant we received, we are now
able to offer classes throughout the day and in the evenings in the library meeting room with new laptops. In October, we will be offering Computers for Beginners (no experience necessary) from 10 to 11 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 8; 2 to 3 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 10; and 2 to 3 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 30. We will also offer set-up an email account on and 9 to 10 a.m. Friday, Oct. 18. If you would like to register for a class contact the Information Desk at (641) 7924108. Adult Craft: Recycled Tee At 6 p.m. Monday, Sept. 30, we will be recycling old Tshirts into scarves, bracelets and work-out tanks. Partici-
pants must bring their own shirt(s) to recycle and register for the program in advance. Register by calling the Information Desk at (641) 7924108. Coffee & Movie: ‘42’ Join us for a showing of “42” in the library meeting room at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 2. Synopsis: In 1947, Branch Rickey put himself at the forefront of history when he signed Jackie Robinson, breaking Major League Baseball’s infamous color line. But the deal also put both Robinson and Rickey in the firing line of the public, the press and other players. Facing blatant racism from every side, Robinson was forced to dem-
onstrate tremendous courage and restraint by not reacting in kind. Instead, Number 42 let his talent on the field do the talking — ultimately winning over fans and his teammates, silencing his critics, and paving the way for others to follow. Trouble with Your E-Reader? The library is offering one-on-one tech time on Mondays and Tuesdays. If you want to learn more about your e-reader device, sign up for a half-hour appointment at the Information Desk by calling (641) 792-4108. We can help you to check out ebooks, change your settings, download and delete apps, and more
The Reading Link
Without safe boundaries, we have no direction By Christine Pauley Reading Specialist Boundaries, learning and literacy interweave themselves into who we become. I can’t learn well if I don’t know where boundaries are, nor if the boundaries suffocate me. Parents and educators constantly strive to keep opportunities balanced. Children seek to test boundaries for though they want to be in control, they fear they are. Safe boundaries help us know what we can count on and without them we have no direction. Childhood expectations become adult expectations. Boundaries help form values and goals, which lead to what opportunities we accept. At about age 10, we lock in on our basic values. Our guiding light often comes from sources that hurt us. We may close our minds and refuse to listen to new ideas. Ideas are reasoning power which allow us to grow in understanding about the concepts of what is right
and wrong. We cannot make changes unless we understand that what we are now — is not what we have to be. Life is not a continuous exciting event. Life is making goals and growing towards them and literacy helps us to reach higher values and goals. Society benefits, we benefit, and success comes. Today, every three to five years, major value differences are programmed, rather than every generation. Children unconditionally absorb everything. Basic personality forms in our first three to four years. What we are now is what we were when we were value programmed during those early years, unless we made purposeful changes to our system. Who we choose as heroes help form our values. Mindsets are formed by commonly shared experiences. Society today often takes its heroes down leaving the young with no role models. Heroes aren’t perfect, but they challenge us to be better. I enjoyed
three major heroes in my young life: my maternal grandfather, my pastor, and Hopalong Cassidy of the movies. They all made major differences in my life. Who were your heroes? Group values come from shared experiences and our emotions. We are not to be trapped in our value system, we are to use it. Values come from thinking about the models we see and forming goals. Children may be financially supported, but emotionally abandoned. Learning requires discovering connections through meaningful materials. We need to be selective in what we allow to enter our short term memory or there may be a traffic jam. A “significant emotional event” is the only time an adult changes and only the individual defines this event. Part of success is meeting change directly. Literacy helps us in the journey of changes in our lives and keeps it from being too frightening. One part of being alive is to learn how to handle our own anger,
but also how to handle other people’s anger. Rather than arguing with feelings we discuss facts and opinions. Literacy means we explore by asking questions and telling the person what we hear, so they can tell us if what we hear is what was said. It is empathizing and admitting we are wrong when we are. Values are who we are. Answering questions such as: Do you want to make big money? Is salary more important to you than enjoying your job? Is it important to you to advance in a job? Is expressing yourself creatively important to you? Do you desire to help others? Your values shape your goals. Howard Figler, an expert on career guidance at the University of Texas, says, “Once you discover your values, you can look for job experiences where you can satisfy them...” This includes deciding on volunteer experiences. So seek what is important to you. Do you want to help society and contribute
to the betterment of the world? Do you choose to be involved in helping other people, individually or in small groups? Voting is an overlooked power that helps decide courses of action, policies, etc. Do you choose to persuade and invest in people towards the common good? Are you willing to change your own attitude or opinion and help others change theirs? Do you pursue knowledge, truth and understanding? Are you willing to listen to an “expert” and at times be the “expert” in a given field? How do you engage in creative works (art, dance, music, writing, etc.)? Do you appreciate the beauty of ideas? Do you find time to help others in their work and allow others to help you in your work? Literacy is not waiting for retirement to do all the good you hope to do. Literacy helps you figure out how to do some now and more later. Another way to look at the opportunities you choose are whether you
like: co-operation versus competition; conformity versus individuality; leadership versus followership; popularity versus isolation. Values derive from many things such as parent’s attitudes towards: quitting or excelling, grades, sibling comparisons, standards, responsibilities, money values, community service, and appearance. Values come from the similarities or contrasts among what is expected at school and what is done at home. Children interweave values of teachers, peers, parents, and others. They form values about the worth of competition and how to treat each other by what they see. Is winning the goal or is doing your best the goal? Self-esteem comes from values and whether you can live up to them or not. We form values and reform values all of our life. When we have quality values we tend to be better people. Literacy partners with values. Until next week — Christine Pauley
