Grant aims to help keep vets from being homeless Organization does not have a direct Jasper County presence

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News The Newton Police, Fire and Public Works departments have been involved in more community events in recent months as part of the city’s action plan goal of making the city a safer place.

Goal moving forward: Making Newton a safer community

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Progress is being made to make Newton a safe community as work continues to fulfill goals in the city’s action plan.

Making Newton a safe community was the first essential purpose to be discussed at the last council meeting, starting the monthly update process for all four essential purposes on a rotating schedule.

“This last winter, we passed an action plan after a planning process ... (The action plan) started last July and will go until July 2017. We are doing

monthly reports on the action plan and the first one is addressing our public safety essential purpose,” Management Analyst Natalie Umsted said.

The city’s objective for making a safer community is stated as: “The city’s purpose is to protect the community and fairly enforce the law, to educate residents and to provide information on safety prevention; to be well prepared in order to promptly respond to emergencies and calls for service. To provide the protection of the environment and the lives of residence and visitors and provide a safe

Three-hour parking limit still in effect downtown

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News As of Thursday, the five city-owned metered lots will be free parking.

The lots will not, however, be out of the sphere of the three-hour parking limit.

“The three-hour parking limit in the downtown area will remain in place and will be enforced. Only the meters are being taken out,” City Administer Bob Knabel said.

The same is true of the 12 parking meter spots on the square. Each spot will return to threehour parking. Confusion by residents came as the changes were made to the lots after the city council approved the removal of the meters.

Any resident who

has purchased a parking permit from the Newton Police Department for the city-owned lots will be refunded the prorated amount remaining on their parking permit.

The refund will be sent out during the month of October.

transportation network that is well-maintained.”

“Through that, we identified several areas of service that were goals that we wanted to address in the next two years,” Umsted said.

Those goals are divided into three sections: enforce laws, do public safety education and respond to all emergencies. The goals for the enforcement of the law include reducing traffic accidents and recurring thefts and burglaries and reducing crime in multiunit housing complexes.

More cameras planned for NHS Superintendent wants to install about 16 more sets of eyes on campus

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Even though Newton Community Schools District spent nearly $200,000 two years ago to add to its video surveillance abilities on campus, there are still some spots that aren’t covered — especially at Newton High School.

While the camera coverage on NCSD campuses is certainly improved over its pre-2013 levels, Superintendent Bob Callaghan said, he’d like to see about 16 more cameras installed at the high school in the months ahead.

“The coverage we have now is less than adequate for what is

The improvements won’t need to go before the board of education unless the estimated need exceeds $12,500, per board policy. Callaghan said he and district staff are still determining exactly where cameras will be needed

in order to cover all areas.

Hallways pose a particular complex challenge, Callaghan said, especially in buildings that have been modified more than once, with smaller, unconventional passages and rooms created. The indoor area near NHS’s Center for Performance, for ex-

A recently awarded federal grant seems like it will have a positive effect on veterans who are at risk of becoming homeless, but the exact impact it will have in Jasper County is unclear.

Grants totaling about $3.1 million were announced as part of an annual cycle that is part of the Supportive Services for Veteran Families program. Amid that grant money was about $1.6 million awarded to Primary Health Care, Inc., a Des Moines-based organization that serves housing

outreach and case-management needs in Jasper, Dallas, Marshall, Polk, Story and Warren counties.

Jasper County Veterans Affairs Director Chris Chartier said he’s optimistic vets in his area will receive benefits from Primary Health Care. However, its closest office is in Marshalltown.

“Although the grant has been around for quite some time, PHC has only expanded to include Jasper County last year,” Chartier said.

“Without their organization having a footprint in Jasper County, our exposure and facilitation of these grant funds is currently limited.”

Chartier said his office’s primary mission is to help connect veterans with the right organizations or agencies that specifically target

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | Oct. 1, 2015 Health Six strategies to boost your weight loss momentum

2A |

Newton Daily News The rules of weight loss are constantly changing — eat this, don’t eat that, take this supplement and do this exercise routine. While eating less and exercising more sounds like a simple formula, finding the right weight loss strategy isn’t always as easy as it seems.

Paul Kriegler, registered dietitian with Life Time, knows the latest trends and one-size fits all approaches are rarely the key to success.

“Over the years, I’ve coached many clients who were diligent and gave their full effort, but sometimes an element not even related to their health was

holding them back,” he said.

Kriegler offers six strategies to help drive weight loss goals and break through hang-ups.

1. Give the scale a break.

Don’t center your weight loss success on a number. A simple scale doesn’t come close to measuring the significant changes happening in your body. Keeping track of your daily weight may complicate your strategy as you experience daily highs and lows. Instead of focusing on a number each day, notice changes in how your clothes are feeling, and how you feel and move overall.

2. Adjust your media intake. Media is one of the biggest sources for weight loss and

health advice, but these messages are typically generalized and based on observational research rather than proven methods and techniques. This can become frustrating and leave a negative impact on your weight loss success. Social media can also leave you feeling defeated. Take a break from the media and pay attention only to what truly inspires you to be your healthiest self.

3. Let your closet be a source of motivation. New clothes are exciting and you almost always want to wear them right away. But if you can’t, allow that wardrobe to fuel the power of your weight loss goals.

Additionally, if you have fa-

vorite outfits that are a size or two bigger than they should be, consider donating them to nudge yourself in the right direction.

4. Pamper yourself. Whether it’s a manicure or a massage, some type of weekly or monthly reward for your hard work is well-deserved and also recommended as part of a healthy lifestyle. Rather than treating yourself with food as a reward, pamper yourself in other ways and reflect on how far you’ve come.

5. Take it one hour at a time. When you’re starting out, losing weight can seem like an overwhelming aspiration.

Breaking it down into smaller

Slow-cook your way to good nutrition

By Jenny Thompson RD, LD, CDE Newton Hy-Vee Want to solve the how-toget-dinner-on-the-table dilemma as you start back to the routine of school?

Get out that slow cooker.

It can be your trusty assistant to making sure dinner is ready in the midst of homework and sports schedules.

Slow-cooked Thompson dishes are ideal for making ahead and reheating, and leftovers can be enjoyed for several days.

And a slow cooker provides advantages for healthy cooking by stretching small amounts of meat with flavorful sauces and a generous portion of vegetables.

While you might use your slow cooker more often in the winter, you can keep your kitchen cool by using your slow cooker in the summer and fall, too.

Like anything else, there are some tips and tricks to making tastier, healthier meals from your slow cooker. For example, flavors tend to meld together with long cooking times — a sprinkle of fresh herbs just before serving

can brighten a dish. Also, it’s best to add noodles the last half hour of cooking, rather than putting them in to cook all day.

Here are some other tips: • Keep a Lid on It Resist the urge to take off the lid and peek at your meal.

Opening the slow cooker lets heat escape and slows cooking.

Only open it 30 to 45 minutes before the end of the cooking time to check doneness.

• Plan Your Meals Ahead If you want to turn your slow cooker on first thing in the morning, a little planning goes a long way.

The night before: Cut and trim any meat, chop any vegetables, measure out dry ingredients and prepare any sauce; refrigerate the components in separate containers. (Do not refrigerate components in the slow-cooker insert; a cold insert takes too long to heat up and affects cooking time and food safety.) Then, in the morning: Add ingredients to the cooker according to the recipe. It’s best to reheat any sauce to a simmer before adding.

If you won’t be home close to the end of the cooking time, make sure you have a slow cooker that can switch to the Warm

setting when cooking is done.

• Maximize Flavor Brown the meat and/or vegetables in a skillet before adding to the cooker. Then deglaze the pan with any liquid called for in the recipe to get all the brown, caramelized bits from the sauté pan into the cooker.

You’ll end up with a richer flavor that can’t be achieved by slow-cooking alone.

• Keep Temperature in Mind A slow cooker is certainly convenient, but if not used correctly there is the potential for food-safety hazards. Temperatures between 40 degrees and 135 degrees fall into the so-called “Danger Zone,” since bacteria thrive in these temperatures.

When using a slow cooker, be sure to take precautions that keep food from being in the Danger Zone for too long.

To avoid the Danger Zone, never add frozen ingredients to your cooker, refrigerate any ingredients you’ve prepped ahead in separate storage containers and bring liquids to a simmer if you’re cooking on Low before adding them to your cooker to give the heating process a jumpstart.

Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich

2 tsp. extra-virgin olive oil 1 medium onion, sliced 8 oz. mushrooms, sliced 1 red or green bell pepper, sliced 2 tbsp. minced fresh oregano, or 2 tsp dried ½ tsp. freshly ground pepper 1 lb. sirloin steak, trimmed, thinly sliced 1/4 tsp salt 1 tbsp. all-purpose flour 1/2 c. sliced hot banana peppers, optional 1/4 c. reduced-sodium chicken broth 3 slices provolone cheese (about 3 oz) 4 whole wheat buns, split and toasted 1. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until soft and beginning to brown, two to three minutes.

2. Add mushrooms, bell pepper, oregano and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are wilted and soft, about seven minutes.

3. Add steak and salt, cooking and stirring until the meat is just cooked through, about four minutes.

4. Reduce heat to low. Sprinkle the vegetables and meat with flour; stir to coat. Stir in banana peppers (if using) and broth; bring to a simmer.

Remove from heat; lay cheese slices on top of the vegetables and meat, cover and let stand until melted, one to two minutes.

5. Divide into four portions with a spatula, leaving the melted cheese layer on top. Scoop a portion onto each bun and serve immediately.

Tips for patients to reduce odds of being misdiagnosed WASHINGTON (AP) — The Institute of Medicine says patient input is critical as health providers try to figure out the right diagnosis.

Here are tips from the IOM’s report Tuesday, adapted from the National Patient Safety Foundation and the Society to Improve Diagnosis in Medicine: • Don’t hesitate to ask questions: What could be causing my problem? What else could it be? When will I get test results? What if my symptoms worsen?

• Be clear and complete in describing your illness.

Bring notes so you recall when symptoms began, what makes them better or worse, or if they seem related to medications, meals or certain times of day.

• Know your family medical history; relatives may have had similar symptoms.

• Keep records of test results, referrals, hospital admissions. Bring an up-to-date list of all medications to each doctor visit. Know the doses, what each is for, and learn what side effects and interactions may occur.

• If the doctor doesn’t call promptly with test results, call to ask for them.

• Learn about your illness, tests or procedures through reliable online sources or the library.

Local & State News Veterans Continued from Page 1A needs. However, he said, the Jasper County Veterans Affairs Department currently consists of only Chartier and one volunteer, as part-time employee Keith Thorpe recently resigned, with no determination made yet regarding the parttime position, so his resources are limited.

“It is not the primary focus of this office to facilitate other organization’s initiatives,” Chartier said. “And with limited staff, we can only do so much to encourage the growth and success of such opportunities for local veterans.”

Chartier said it is his intent to have all eligible veterans enroll for services under SSVF funding that come to his office seeking assistance with housing needs,

thus effectively using the federal grant money instead of supplementing a need with Jasper County funds. He said he’ll try to connect veterans with PHC whenever it applies — just as he has done in bringing a regular specialist in from a Des Moines-area vet center to see veterans every other Monday.

“We, as an office, have continued to focus on solidifying a relationship with their organization to improve the quality of services, up to and including offering office space,” Chartier said.

A release from PHC about SSVF begins with the slogan “No veteran should be homeless.”

The release lists services offered through the program for low-income veterans, including health-care referrals, daily living referrals, personal financial plan-

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | Oct. 1, 2015 | 3A ning services and referrals, legal aid services, housing counseling services and referrals, employment and training referrals and various forms of temporary financial assistance, based on eligibility and available funding.

A veteran, as defined for PHC’s purposes, means a person who served in the active military, naval or air service, and who was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable. Certain family members of veterans might be eligible for benefits as well.

There were two other Iowa beneficiaries of this year’s SSVF grants.

The Humility of Mary Shelter, Inc., serving Clinton, Muscatine and other eastern Iowa counties and Whiteside County in Illinois, received about $280,000.

The Hawkeye Area

Community Action Program, Inc. — serving Black Hawk and 11 other counties — received about $1.2 million.

U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack also sent out a release about the grant.

“I strongly believe that we need to care for our veterans with the same dignity and honor with which they have served our country,” Loebsack said. “We have a moral responsibility to end homelessness among our veterans, and veteran families, and to help veterans struggling in these tough economic times. I am pleased these three organizations will receive this funding to continue their important services.”

Sculpture Tour Jason W. Brooks/ Daily News City of Newton Development Specialist Craig Armstrong was one of several adults who helped Newton Community School District students tour the “First Avenue of Sculpture” pieces, displayed around the City of Newton on Wednesday.

Here, Armstrong explains details about “Doe and Fawn,” a sculpture created by Newton-area artist Nick Klepinger located at Sersland Park.

Safety Continued from Page 1A Working to improve the quality of Newton’s rental housing and updating existing codes and review the inclusion of other codes are also on the agenda.

For furthering public safety education, the city will create a public safety task force to promote safety education, respond to all emergencies and monitor, record, evaluate response times and case closures. The city will work to replace outdoor warning sirens, increase performance based measurements at the fire department and create and implement employee emergency response.

Under the goal of responding to all emergencies the city will implement a community-wide master plan for traffic control, conduct an engineering study to evaluate downtown traffic and implement a five-year street maintenance program.

The city has already begun work to implement these goals through several events and ordinances passed by the council.

“From June through September, the city led safety education to thousands of children and adults.

We had public safety at Thanks With Franks, at Newton Fest and the Citizen Police Academy just started,” Umsted said. “There has really been a lot of outreach over the summer months about public safety education with the police, fire and public works departments being active at public events.”

With the recent approval of the Crime-Free Multi-Housing ordinance, work has started to reduce crime and improve the quality of Newton’s rental housing. Also, the council recently approved the installation of two new warning sirens in the city.

A few key adjustments have been identified to the plan, Umsted said, including only two warning sirens being bonded for in the most recent bond process instead of seven. She said new funds will have to be set aside in the future to pay for the additional sirens.

Also, Police Chief Rob Burdess spoke to city staff about additional indicators of accidents besides speed that may be causing accidents in town. After analyzing why accidents are happening, he found that other causes, such as distracted driving, might exist.

“This is a living, breathing document and we are not looking at this and saying these are our goals and we can’t possibly change these goals. As situations evolve, we want to keep evolving to meet the needs of citizens,” Umsted said.

Economic Development will be the next essential purpose to be presented during an October city council meeting. High quality of life and effective, efficient democratic governance will follow in November and December with the cycle starting over in January.

The business of academia

By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | Oct. 1, 2015

As a Hawkeye freshman 12 years ago, I went to a welcome week block party on the redbrick road passing the university president’s mansion. The University of Iowa, in my opinion, has always been creative in saying hello to those new to campus, and no one was better at the task than the man throwing the party, former UI President David Skorton.

Skorton understood the importance of interacting with the student population. During his time as the Hawkeye president, he was personable, committed to research and supportive of his academic staff. He has since left to lead Cornell University and is the current Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution — an impressive record.

The newly hired UI president has an unconventional record for the leaders of an academic institution. Bruce Harreld is a former IBM and Boston Market executive, with experience as a guest lecturer at Harvard’s Business

School as his sole credential in the academic arena.

The Iowa Board of Regents has been under enormous budgetary uncertainty from the Iowa Legislature for several years to control tuition costs for students and rein in the bottom line.

It seems logical that the governor-appointed board would look to the business community for a leader with experience running a multi-million/billion dollar company for new ideas to control spending and growth at the three regent school — Iowa State University, University of Northern Iowa and the UI. The outrage in Harreld’s hire partially comes from his inexperience in running an academic institution — which many professors would say is much different than running a Fortune 500 company — but mostly in the apparent lack of transparency in the hiring process.

Recently, emails released in the media have revealed Harreld took part in undisclosed meet-

ings with several of the regents during the hiring processes and met with regents President Bruce Rastetter, UI Faculty Senate President Christina Bohannan, and interim UI President Jean Robillard in July before becoming a candidate for the presidency. The UI Faculty Senate and student leaders issued a “vote of no confidence” in the Regents due to the hiring process, which they believe was just for show.

And academic leaders at UI have already issued a censure of Harreld claiming he did not disclose co-authors of papers he helped prepare, which is against the UI faculty’s ethics code.

It’s not that the Regents are trying a different route after the departure of former UI President Sally Mason that is most troubling. It’s the board’s reluctance to admit it to the people of Iowa and the UI faculty. If they want the university administration to run like a business, they should state their intentions and why it would be good for UI.

It’s true that the university environment is not always the model of practicality. Extravagant fitness centers, vast concert halls and NFL-sized football stadiums are not budget-friendly. But practicality doesn’t always breed creativity. These accommodations of our state universities’ are also an investment in our culture and society and don’t always have an immediate tangible return.

But funding the best quality research facilities, classroom technologies and amenities to improve campus life is an investment in the future. It will produce results in the long term.

Let’s give President Harreld a chance while keeping a watchful eye on the quality of academics and research at the UI. Hopefully the new neighbor on the block will be mindful of literature and medical science as well as the bottom line.

My family had their papers and knew to mark “Druid” under the religion category on the immigration form, a darkly humorous way of hiding their identity.

No one accused them of terrorism or forced them to take an oath of loyalty. Rose grew up

feeling like she belonged in her adopted country.

Other Jews who sought shelter in America weren’t as lucky. Between 1933 and 1945, the United States only took in 132,000 Jewish refugees. Washington refused to raise or even meet its quota as the mass extermination of Jews in Europe claimed 6 million lives.

Horrifying images are finally bringing today’s refugee crises into focus. A photo of a drowned toddler in the Aegean. Terrified Syrian refugees huddled behind barbed-wire fences in Hungary.

Numbers inked on the arms of children who managed to survive the passage to Europe, eerily echoing the Holocaust.

These images resonate on a profound level with descendants of Jews who fled European anti-Semitism. Many people of different backgrounds are connecting on some level with this crisis.

Except the U.S. government.

Since 2011, the Obama administration has granted asylum to scarcely 1,500 Syrian refugees, even as more than 4 million have fled. While the government has signaled that it will welcome an extra 30,000 global refugees in 2017 — bringing its total for all groups up to 100,000 that year — that will barely make a dent.

Far smaller nations are making far larger commitments.

For a nation of immigrants and the world’s largest economy,

we’ve become about as welcoming as a desert cactus.

Each wave of immigrants in this country has faced staunch opposition. The Irish, Scottish, Italians, Germans, Chinese, Japanese, Lebanese, Salvadorans, Greeks, Mexicans, Haitians, Cubans and other nationalities all endured discrimination, threats, and racist protests when they arrived. Each passing decade brings new groups of people for the xenophobes to hate, and for officials to impose an immigration quota upon.

I cried when I first visited the Statue of Liberty. I was about six years old, and Rose was in her 90s, frail and with the mind of a child.

The Statue of Liberty seemed so huge and powerful up close — I was scared to climb up the stairs inside, but I did get a good look at the statue’s famous inscription: “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to be free...”

This is the powerful, emotional message on our favorite monument to our nation of immigrants. It’s time for us to get serious and live up to that inscription. There are too many tired, poor, huddled people still yearning to be free for us to ignore them now.

On the banks of Big Creek, on the west side of Mt. Pleasant, on Business 34, is a brand new shop with a whole bunch of real “purdy” o l d tractors parked o u t front.

They’re By Curt Swarm a l l Guest Columnist Massey Harris tractors. The sign on the front of the shop reads, “Massey Harris Better Built Farm Equipment” — it’s a replica of a Massey Harris dealership sign from back in the 1950s.

My car pulled into the driveway all by itself.

There, I found 64-yearold Dave Loving, happy at work on his latest project, a Massey Harris 50. The previous owner had painted it Oliver green, something Dave will correct in his new paint booth. The original colors for this particular model are red and bronze. Dave Loving is a stickler for authenticity.

He shrugs his shoulders and launches into the story of how he acquired “the green beast. A real steal,” he proclaims. Then, breathing a sigh of patronization for a poor city slicker (me), he recites, as if reading from a history book, the complicated, interweaving genealogy of Ford, Ferguson, Massey and Harris tractors, which is 100 percent pure Americana.

Back in the Henry Ford days, Ford and Ferguson built a tractor together, called the Fordson. Ford and Ferguson split, each building their own tractor.

Then along came Massey, for the Massey Ferguson, then Harris, for the Massey Harris. I became confused about the details after the Fordson. No matter.

Trying to act as if I knew something about tractors, I spouted off that I was a “Farmall man, myself.” Wrong thing to say. Dave looked at me with sympathy and stated bluntly, “If you haven’t

driven a Massey, you haven’t driven a tractor.” I was put in my place real fast.

Thinking back to my youth, working on farms, I can’t even remember seeing a Massey Harris tractor. Dave said that it wasn’t unusual. Farmers of a certain area tended to own tractors supplied by local dealerships. Where he grew up in southeast Iowa, there were several Massey Harris dealerships. In fact, his dad was a Massey Harris mechanic and farmed with Massey Harris tractors. Dave was raised on Masseys.

Dave’s wife, Deanna, was sitting close by, watching her husband work and listening to his tales. She chimed in, “When Dave retired five years ago, I told him he had to have a hobby. He chose tractors. I told him, there’s one rule — they have to be kid-friendly.”

Dave explains, “A lot of collectors won’t let anyone get on their tractors. Not us. We let kids (and adults) climb all over them. There are adults who have never been on a tractor. One lady brought her three kids. I let each one of them steer the tractor during the Old Threshers Parade. They had a ball.”

Dave and Deanna have two sons, Jason and Jeremy. Each one of them, plus their kids, claim ownership of a Massey, because it’s a family hobby. The new shop for the Massey Harris tractors is on Jason’s property overlooking Big Creek — a nice setting for a flashback to the past.

There’s an alfalfa field in back.

They have 19 tractors, all of them Masseys, except for one Ferguson — an English Ferguson, a real collector’s item.

In the back window of Dave Loving’s pickup truck there’s a picture of the tractors, with the words, “Pappy’s Old time Tractor Restoration.”

Man can’t cope with pregnant girlfriend and ailing ex-wife DEAR ABBY: My situation is upsetting and I don’t know what to do anymore. My girlfriend, “Dana,” is pregnant. My ex-wife showed up at our door with terminal cancer and nowhere to go. When I told her she could stay with us, Dana moved out.

There is no one that my ex can rely on except me. I am torn. I love Dana and don’t want to lose her, but I can’t turn my back on someone who has no one in her life who cares.

I wish Dana could understand what I’m going through. Please help. — IN TURMOIL IN WISCONSIN DEAR IN TURMOIL: Are you absolutely certain about your exwife’s prognosis? Have you verified it? Why is she your ex-wife? Why are you the only one in her life who cares? Has she burned all her other bridges?

Without more information, your question is a tough one to answer.

But if you love Dana, then the wrong woman is living with you.

While you don’t have to turn your back on your ex if she truly is terminal, you should absolutely find her other living arrangements.

DEAR ABBY: I am five years older than my fiance. He has never been married and has a daughter.

We have been together for a few years, and something has happened to make me wonder about him.

I thought it was funny that he bought Cosmopolitan magazine every month and talked about his flat belly. But I recently found my Victoria’s Secret catalog hidden in his toolbox. I have also seen him look at other, much younger women. Am I making something out of nothing?

— SUSPICIOUS IN MAINE DEAR SUSPICIOUS: Yes. All men “look.” It goes along with being male. As to his having stashed your lingerie catalog in his toolbox, that’s

rather chaste considering the number of men who buy Playboy, Hustler and watch online videos.

I don’t know what conclusions you’re jumping to, but you’ll be better off clearing the air with your boyfriend rather than stewing about it. If you do it good-naturedly, it shouldn’t make him defensive, and you’ll get the answers you’re looking for.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 16 and lead a pretty good life. I attend a fantastic school, do well, have lots of friends and am overall happy. I have siblings and a mom who love me. The thing is — I don’t love her. It’s not because of “teenage angst”; I just don’t like her as a person. I’m polite to her and she doesn’t know how I feel. How should I handle this? — CONCERNED DAUGHTER IN SAN FRANCISCO DEAR CONCERNED DAUGHTER: I think you should “handle it” by keeping your trap shut. Not every mother likes/loves her daughter all the time either, but the feeling usually passes. Consider this: Because you have so many positive things going on in your life, your mother may have had something to do with it, so try to be a little less judgmental.

The second bus was sent out when district administrator learned some students had not been picked up.

“We were all shocked like being sideswiped,” Richardson said. “I cried for two weeks, and I still cry when I think of her.

I just thought the law is the law.”

Parking Continued from Page 1A Department will begin removing parking meters Thursday. In the interim, an “Out of Order” sticker will be placed on each meter to show payment is no longer required.

If any resident has received any parking tickets for the metered lots prior to the effective date, they will still be responsible for paying the fee and any late fees for non-payment.

The city had 248 meters in the five lots along with 12 meters situated around the square. By removing the meters, it is hoped the downtown area will become more inviting to customers and visitors and allow for a better parking alternative to downtown business owners and employees.

Presently, 60 of the parking meters that were in use were malfunctioning or are broken beyond repair Knabel said in his report to the council. Estimates to repair or replace the existing inoperable meters would cost approximately $27,000.

A May usage audit of the metered lots showed that, on average, only 28 percent of the available capacity was used. The city will have an estimated $25,000 in annual revenue loss as a result of the elimination of the meters, lease fees and permits.

C-M goes pink: Spanish Club organizes team for annual Race for the Cure

By Alex Olp Jasper County Tribune COLFAX — Breast cancer awareness month is here and the Colfax-Mingo Spanish Club hasn’t wasted any time getting the word out in preparation for the annual Race for the Cure in Des Moines.

Students entered the junior/ senior high school Monday to find the hallways decorated with pink. The Spanish Club sponsors the pink-out event every year, which devotes a week to breast cancer awareness and also builds up to the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure 5K scheduled for Saturday.

C-M’s team consisted of 73 participants last year and Spanish Club president Jacob Lietz said there are fewer sign-ups this year, but he is still expecting a great turnout.

The C-M senior has been a part of the Spanish Club all four years of high school and believes the Race for the Cure and breast cancer awareness week is the highlight of the school year for the club.

“I think it shows everybody that there’s a lot of people in the community and in the school who will come out and support the cure for breast cancer, run and do all this stuff and pay this money to help find a cure,” Lietz said.

Registration was $40 a person, and Lietz said the team ends up raising a good sum of

Club members decorated the hallways pink for breast cancer awareness week in preparation for annual Race for the Cure in Des Moines.

money for the cause every year.

Cancer has affected many people within the Colfax and Mingo communities, and that’s a reason why Lietz has devoted some of his time as part of the Spanish Club to help raise awareness of breast cancer. He said the least he can do is run for 20 minutes during Saturday’s 5K. “There’s thousands of people at the beginning. People dressed up in pink and they are absolutely happy to be there,” Lietz said. “You see all the people who have fought cancer and they’ve won and are still there

to support it. It’s something special. You have to be there to realize it, but it’s something special.”

Vice president of the Spanish Club Katherine Vry has also been involved with C-M’s breast cancer awareness week and the Race for the Cure for four years. She said causes like this one is why she ultimately joined the club.

Club members devoted their own time Sunday afternoon to decorate high school hallways for pink week. They hung signs on the walls and placed colored tissue paper over the lights to

make the hallways glow pink in order to raise awareness of breast cancer within the school.

“I can honestly tell you that putting all of the pink stuff up is tons of fun. You meet so many cool people you wouldn’t think you’d get to know within the school system and then at the same time you’re raising awareness,” Vry said. “It’s just showing, even within this small community, we can still make this count and it just means so much for people.”

The Spanish Club is also planning a benefit breakfast on Oct. 17 for former C-M school board member Dr. Becky Maher, who is fighting lung cancer.

“She is super involved with the school. Just knowing that we can do something to even further appreciate her and show her, even though she isn’t much in the school system anymore, we still care just means so much,” Vry said. “I can’t wait until Oct. 17 where I can stand there and I can look at everybody and say I spent all of this hard work doing this and this was absolutely 100 percent worth it.”

The breakfast is from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the junior/senior high school cafeteria. All of the proceeds will go to American Lung Association and Dollars for Scholars in Maher’s name.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High Cardinals keep moving forward together attempting to get into win column this season. Newton hosts Ballard Friday in Class 3A District 6 play. The Cardinals are 0-5 overall and 0-3 in district play.

Pregame Outlook —

Cardinals search for key to unlock defensive power

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High’s Cardinals — coaches and players — search for the right defense for the personnel on the 2015 football team. It has been tough with an 0-5 start and big plays by opponents’ offenses have plagued the Cardinal defensive unit.

“We’ve got to find something which fits the personnel we have to work with and allows us not to give up those big plays. We, as coaches, will keep scratching to find a defense to help our kids be successful,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said after Friday’s loss to Gilbert.

After falling behind 43-7 by halftime, the Cardinals controlled the second half with four touchdown drives, and a defensive goal-line stand. Gilbert did score late in the game for the final 5034 margin.

Ergenbright said his team could build off what it did in

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Scoring on every opportunity early and late is one of several key elments for Newton High’s Cardinals to break into the win column.

the second half, both offensively and defensively.

Newton hosts Ballard on Pink Out Friday in a Class 3A District 6 game. The Cardinals are 0-3 in district play. The Bombers come into H.A. Lynn Stadium at 2-3 overall and 1-1 in district.

They lost 27-26 to Carlisle in a non-district game last week, scoring 20 points in the fourth quarter.

Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. for the

varsity. The Cardinal freshmen take on Ballard at 4:45 p.m.

“Consistency in your lineup is important, and we haven’t had that because of injuries. On defense, you work on a scheme to put players in position to make the plays. Going over film, we were close, but the teams got off those rapid-fire big plays,” Ergenbright said.

Going into Friday’s game, Ergenbright said the Cardi-

nals will have similar personnel on defense as they had a week ago. One addition is the return of junior Reece Rosenquist, who has been sidelined since preseason practices, to the strong safety position.

“We’ve focused this week on playing sound defense. Our kids have had great effort and attitudes in practices,” Ergenbright said. “Ballard runs a zone-ready offense and has a good running quarterback.”

Ballard has sophomore running back Hunter Wright and junior quarterback Max Stoltz leading the Bomber offense. Wright is the Bombers’ leading rusher — 98 carries for 587 yards with three touchdowns. Stoltz has run for 349 yards on 72 carries and scored five touchdowns.

Stoltz is 27-of-49 passing for 334 yards with four touchdown passes. Juniors Austin Edwards and Taylor Roberts are Ballard’s top receivers with 115 yards on eight catches and 110 yards on seven receptions, respectively.

“We’re looking to have offensive drives much like the ones we had in the second half against Gilbert. We need to do that early in this game.

We can’t fall behind again and play catch-up football,” Ergenbright said. “These kids have responded well to our situation.

I’m happy with their effort and determination. It shows the character of our players.”

In their first two games of the season, the Cardinals rallied to tie the game, losing on a last-second field goal at Knoxville and a field goal in overtime by Marshalltown. Newton led 14-8 at halftime in game three against Grinnell, and then allowed 24 points in the third quarter.

Newton and Benton were tied at 14-14 at the end of three quarters on a rainy and windy night. Benton broke open the game on a long touchdown run to open the fourth quarter.

Colfax-Mingo, Montezuma square off in Class A district tilt

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Seeking its first home playoff game since 2003, the Colfax-Mingo football team can take a big step toward that feat with a win at home Friday night.

Standing in the way of the red-hot Tigerhawks are the Montezuma Braves, who won the Class A District 7 title a season ago.

The Tigerhawks have won four straight games since losing their season opener to No. 6 Pleasantville. During that stretch, they are averaging more than 43 points per game.

Montezuma though looks to take advantage of the momentum it gained last week when it shut out Belle Plaine, 28-0.

“It’s a huge game for us and them,” Colfax-Mingo coach Jeff Lietz said. “If we take care of business it essentially assures us of a playoff berth.”

A win likely pushes the Tigerhawks into the postseason for the second straight season and could give them a home playoff game as well.

No. 2 BGM is still on the schedule, but with games still to come against Iowa Valley and GMG, a win over Montezuma on Friday will go a long way in placing Colfax-Mingo into one of the top two positions in the district. Iowa Valley and GMG have a combined two wins.

Five different players have carried the football at least 20 times for the Braves. Carson Losure is leading the way with 480 yards and seven scores in five games.

Montezuma did not complete a pass in last year’s win over C-M. The Braves likely won’t pass much Friday either. They only have thrown for 303 yards this season but four of Logan Price’s five touchdown passes have gone to Brody McKeag.

“They will line up and try to smack you in the mouth,” Lietz said. “We are going to have to stop the run. They are big up front. They’ll present similar challenges as Lynnville-Sully, Belle Plaine and

Area Prep Football Game Previews North Mahaska did in our first three district games.”

The Tigerhawks will run it some but they pride themselves on being the most dangerous passing attack in all of Class A. Jared Myers leads Class A in passing yards (1,380) and passing touchdowns (15), Jacob Lietz is first in receptions (37) and Blake Summy is second in receiving yards (421) and tied for fourth in receiving touchdowns (4).

“The offense has had a nice season, but none of that would be possible if the offensive line didn’t do their jobs up front,” Coach Lietz said. “They have done a great job this year in giving Jared plenty of time to throw.”

The offensive line includes tackles Michael Deal and Jake Dunsbergen, guards Kyle Breen and Wyatt Owens and center Sean Borts.

Coach Lietz also said they should get starting right tackle Nicholas Deal back on Monday. Nicholas Deal has missed the first five games with an elbow injury.

A victory by the Tigerhawks on Friday also could rocket the squad into the Associated Press rankings. Montezuma began the season ranked and Colfax-Mingo already has defeated two teams who appeared in the rankings at some point this year in Lynnville-Sully and Belle Plaine.

“The kids use the rankings thing as a chip, and I use it as motivation,” Coach Lietz said. “The only rankings that matter are the ones at the end of the season, but it would be nice to get the kids some recognition for what they are doing. I would imagine a win over Montezuma would open up some more eyes.”

Lynnville-Sully handed Montezuma its first loss two weeks ago when the Hawks defeated the Braves, 10-7 at home. The Braves are 3-0 at home but only 1-1 on the road.

Lynnville-Sully (3-2, 2-1) at BGM (5-0, 3-0), 7 p.m.

In another big Class A District 7 game, the Hawks hit the road to face second-ranked BGM in

Brooklyn.

BGM is coming off back-to-back shutouts where it defeated GMG 81-0 and North Mahaska 61-0. BGM has scored at least 61 points in its last four games.

Lynnville-Sully has won two straight games after dropping its district opener to Colfax-Mingo. The Hawks gave BGM something else to plan for when they threw for 303 yards in the win over Iowa Valley last week.

The Hawks came into the week with only 203 passing yards.

Tanner Jansen has thrown for 12 touchdowns and only one interception, Colton Massengale has rushed for 827 yards and 11 scores and Jayce Knight has 348 receiving yards and eight receiving touchdowns.

Clarke (0-5, 0-3) at Collins-Maxwell/Baxter (4-1, 2-1), 7:30 p.m.

The short-handed Raiders will play their homecoming game against a Clarke team that has lost 23 straight games.

CMB will be without Brady Stover due to an injured shoulder, and the status of the four players who were suspended before last week’s game remains unknown.

It may not matter though as Clarke has only scored 41 points in five games and has been shut out twice, including last week’s 20-0 loss to Davis County.

Clarke’s last win came in the 2013 season opener.

The Indians defeated Clarinda Academy 36-28.

CMB is coming off its first regular season loss since 2013 when it was outscored 28-6 in the second half against Prairie City-Monroe.

Cyclones open Big 12 play with crucial game AMES (AP) — It’s been 13 seasons since Iowa State won its Big 12 opener.

If the Cyclones can’t end that drought this weekend, their hopes for salvaging this season could be over.

Iowa State (1-2) should feel somewhat confident Saturday.

The Cyclones will be at home, are coming off a bye and will be hosting woeful Kansas (03), which is second to last among Power Five teams in total defense.

It’s a game the Cyclones know they can’t afford to lose, not with Texas Tech, No. 4 TCU and No. 5 Baylor on deck in October.

“At 1-2, we have an awareness of reality, and that’s that we’ve played three really good teams,” Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said. “We’ve got a group of young men that are anxious to start Big 12 play, and they showed that last week in how they prepared.”

The Cyclones have shown plenty of progress after winning just twice in 2014.

Iowa State’s defense, which was among the nation’s worst last season, has looked much more competent so far. The Cyclones are allowing only 22.7 points and 362 yards a game, both of which are better than the national average.

The difference for Iowa State has been largely tied to the emergence of key junior college transfers.

Junior nose guard Demond Tucker has helped the Cyclones transition from a 4-3 to a 3-4 front without much trouble, and middle lineback-

Canzeri producing for unbeaten Iowa IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa’s recent bad luck with running backs has continued this season with LeShun Daniels, who has been struggling with an ankle injury for weeks.

Jordan Canzeri has made the most of his shot to be the starter.

Canzeri, a senior who has spent much of his own career battling injuries, is finally healthy and producing for the unbeaten Hawkeyes (4-0).

Canzeri has a team-best 316 yards and eight rushing touchdowns — just one off the national lead — heading into Saturday’s Big Ten opener at No. 19 Wisconsin (3-1).

“He’s been a good football player ever since he’s been here. He’s had some injury issues on and off, but the good thing is this year, including last spring, he’s been able to really practice the way he wants to,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said.”

Canzeri has shown in his career that he can make plays.

It just seemed like he might never be healthy enough to do so for a full season.

Canzeri got his first start in a bowl game as a freshman in 2011 after starter Marcus Coker was suspended.

But Canzeri injured a knee the following spring and was forced to redshirt.

In 2013, Canzeri emerged as a dangerous backup to Mark Weisman, a fullback converted to running back after a slew of injuries and departures. Canzeri rushed for 481 yards, on 6.5 yards per carry, as Iowa went a surprising 8-5.

Canzeri set a career high with 494 yards in 2014. But his yards per carry dipped to 4.8 as he worked through heel and ankle injuries.

Iowa’s plan heading into 2015 was to use the 225-pound Daniels as a workhorse-type back and have Canzeri be its change of pace guy.

But Canzeri is on pace for nearly 200 carries, and he has made it difficult for his coaches to dial that back.

Canzeri caught a ca-

“It was a process. I was thinking a lot, and normally when I think a lot I tend to forget some things. I just went out there and — I was just playing football,” Warren said.

Iowa State’s last win in a conference opener came against the Jayhawks all the way back in 2002, when the Cyclones blasted Kansas 45-3.

A similar result would give Iowa State some much-needed confidence as the schedule gets tougher. A loss would be a blow for a program that would like to avenge a 20-point defeat at Kansas a year ago.

“We’re not worried about that. We’re a whole different football team than last year,” Harris said. “Everybody wasn’t positive last year like we are this year. I think everybody last year pretty much knew how the rest of the season was going to go (after losing to Kansas). But this year, we know the sky’s the limit.”

Prep previews Continued from Page 1B West Marshall (2-3) at Prairie City-Monroe (4-1), 7:30 p.m.

The Mustangs follow up an emotional win over previously ranked CMB with a non-district, homecoming tilt against West Marshall, which picked up its second win last week.

The Trojans come into the game 2-3 after defeating Columbus Junction 34-20.

Jared Johnson has rushed for 383 yards on the season and 158 of those came in the win last week.

Johnson also is West Marshall’s leading tackler. He had 15 in the win over Columbus Junction.

PCM has won its last four games and is averaging 44 points per game during that stretch.

The Mustangs won last year’s game 44-20 in a year where West Marshall finished 0-9.

Logan Gilman comes into the game with the sixth most passing yards in 2A and he needs only 72 yards to surpass 1,000 for the year. He threw for three scores and rushed for another in the win over CMB last week.

Luke Greiner (7) and Noah Clark (6) have combined to scored 13 receiving touchdowns.

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa senior tailback Jordan Canzeri scored four rushing touchdowns against North Texas last Saturday. The Hawkeyes have begun the season 4-0 and travels to No. 19 Wisconsin this weekend.

reer-high seven passes and ran for two touchdowns in a 27-24 win over Pittsburgh on Sept. 19, and last week he ran for 115 yards and tied the school record with four touchdowns in a 62-16 blowout of North Texas.

“It’s interesting, I don’t know if you can say somebody has a quiet four touchdowns, but it just seems like it was the other day,” Ferentz said.

Canzeri, who also has set career bests with 13 catches for 145 yards, deflected much of the credit for his performance to his offensive line and fullbacks.

Iowa’s blocking has been excellent for much of the season.

“Everybody on offense is just clicking right now,” Canzeri said. “As a running back, when you have ... a line that

blocks the way they are, fullbacks that are willing fly in full speed and block a linebacker, it makes it easier to run the ball. Because it’s not just us. It’s everybody.”

Iowa likely will try to incorporate Daniels into its game plans more and more as he regains his explosiveness and confidence.

But the emergence of Canzeri as more than just a fillin has been a bright spot for the Hawkeyes, who can make their claim as the early favorite in the Big Ten West with an upset against the Badgers.

“I talked about our seniors giving us leadership. You can start right there. He’s done a great job that way, as well,” Ferentz said. “He assumed that carrying the whole load for us, and he’s just done a really nice job.”

Cardinals clinch third straight NL Central title PITTSBURGH (AP) — The St. Louis Cardinals are back in a familiar spot: on top of the NL Central looking down at everyone else.

Jason Heyward’s third-inning grand slam powered the Cardinals over the Pittsburgh Pirates 11-1 in the second game of a doubleheader on Wednesday night, giving St. Louis its third straight division title and 11th since 1994.

This one may be among the most impressive. The Cardinals and assured themselves of the best record in the majors this season despite losing

er Jordan Harris has stabilized what had been a shaky unit.

The real revelation has been senior end Dale Pierson. Nicknamed the “Sack Mamba,” Pierson is second nationally with 1.7 sacks per game, and he has 15 tackles on 125 snaps.

“We know we’re a much improved football team from a year ago. But this Saturday gives us an opportunity to show that and put something in the win column,” Rhoads said.

Iowa State’s offense could use a few guys to emerge like Pierson has. At least the Cyclones might have finally found a running back in freshman Mike Warren, who rushed for 126 yards in a 30-23 double overtime loss at Toledo.

Warren, who is averaging 5.1 yards per carry, was moved to the top of the depth chart Monday after sharing space with Tyler Brown and Joshua Thomas.

several stars to injury for long stretches.

Heyward’s shot off Bobby LaFromboise, who replaced an ineffective Charlie Morton (9-9), gave St. Louis an early six-run lead. Tyler Lyons (31) had little trouble making it hold up as the Cardinals reached the 100-win plateau for the ninth time.

St. Louis players jogged out of their dugout to the infield in a businesslike celebration of their fifth straight postseason berth. Their season-long run atop baseball’s most competitive division — and the ease

in which the team did it — is all the more stunning considering the obstacles it had to overcome.

The Cardinals held off the Pirates and the Chicago Cubs even though ace Adam Wainwright, sluggers Matt Holliday and Matt Adams and high-profile relievers Jordan Walden and Matt Belisle spent large chunks of the season on the disabled list.

Wainwright returned from a torn left Achilles to pitch one inning of mop-up duty during an 8-2 loss in the opener.

110 N 5th Ave W Newton, IA 50208 as you can so that when you’re doing your thing you can stick as close to “now” as possible.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

When your friends are happy, you are happy for them, regardless of the other emotions you may be experiencing throughout your day. When it’s your turn to share about your happiness, anyone who can’t join you is suspect.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’re feeling assertive. Ask (very nicely) for the experience you’d like to have. It is very possible that people’s behavior will change to accommodate that experience.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When it doesn’t work out, your

tendency is to blame yourself, if only because you’re the only one you have some amount of control over. It’s not your fault, but you’ll definitely learn from assuming the responsibility.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’re gathering facts, figures, evidence, inspiration -- all the things you need to move forward with your project. The better you know your subject the better your work will turn out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

If it’s a show they want (and it is a show they want), then a show you will give them!

You’ll do this the classy, understated and elegant way your sign usually does things.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

An unglamorous task is up for the taking. This is a hidden gem, and there will be numerous benefits to the one who claims the job. There won’t be much competition for it, either.

So why not you?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your heart is a locating device that can get you to the kinds of strangely beautiful places that cannot be mapped with longitudinal coordinates.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some days it benefits you to deal with reality as it is and not as you would have it be.

But today you’re better off imposing your reality on the situation. You’re so headstrong that it’s likely the others will

go along with your version.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Strong personalities are part of the day’s mix. There is no one right way to interact here. Stay flexible and alert. Sometimes you’re the shaper; sometimes you’re the shaped.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Wanting too intensely is a danger that leads to grabby hands, which leads to things (and relationships) getting knocked around, ruined or broken. If you’re grasping too tightly, let go.
