Newton Development Corporation honors local businesses

By Jamee A. Pierson Daily News Staff Writer Three local businesses were honored Thursday at the Newton Development Corporation’s annual Salute to Business and Industry Luncheon at the DMACC Conference Center. Keystone Laboratories and Progress Industries were recognized as well as Avalanche Composites, which received the Jim Tyler Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

Executive Director of NDC Frank Liebl offered a welcome to the more than 90 business leaders in attendance and Levi Pence, chair of the NDC Board introduced the three recipients.

“Each one of you here today represents a business in this community and through your efforts you are making New-

ton, Iowa the place to grow. It is with a collaborative effort of many factions within the Newton community that Newton stands strong. Without the efforts of many of you, the progress that we have seen to date would not be possible,” Pence said.

Keystone Laboratories opened in Newton in 1990 as a quality testing facility by owners Jeff King and his wife, Jodi.

The company analyzes drinking water, waste water, groundwater, soil and solid/hazardous waste with a growing staff of 45 employees. Since opening, Keystone has acquired labs in Waterloo as well as Kansas City, Kan. In 2013, Keystone analyzed 77,551 samples performing 214,158 individual analyses on the samples.

Carol Warren, vice presi-

dent of resource development at Progress Industries, spoke about the nearly 300 people the company serves on a daily basis.

“We have a number of different services; one service that we provide is a day service. This provides activity and development and maintaining skills for individual that have disabilities,” Warren said.

A nonprofit organization, Progress Industries has been serving Central Iowans with disabilities since 1979. Along with the day services, it provides employment training and placement, and residential habitation programs from its facility in Newton as well as in Des Moines. PI employs more than 350 full and part-time employAWARDS See Page 3A

File Photo The Iowa Department of Health requires all students entering seventh grade to receive the Tdap vaccination.

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer Woodrow Wilson Elementary School recently posted a friendly reminder that many parents may have overlooked but is necessary to keeping a child enrolled in the public school system in Iowa.

Parents with a student entering the seventh-grade next school year must have their child immunized with

the tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis vaccine or Tdap vaccine.

This policy is mandated by the Iowa Department of Public Health, and went into effect last year.

Pertussis, better known as the whooping cough, has been on the rise in Iowa. In 2012, there were 1,647 diagnosed cases, which VACCINATION See Page 3A

City Council to consider more demolition contracts

By Jamee A. Pierson Daily News Staff Writer A number of properties will be considered for demolition contracts at Monday’s Newton City Council meeting.

The council will also consider amending the city code relating to animal protection.

Demolition orders were given to property owners at 1219 S. Fourth Ave. E., 721 E. Seventh St. N., 520 N. Third Ave. E. and 602 W. Second St. S. Owners were given 60 days to comply and since no action was taken the city began soliciting bids to demolish the buildings.

The council will consider approving the bids and awarding a contract.

Properties at 315 N. Fourth Ave. E., 323 E. Fourth St. N.,

304 E. Fourth St. N. and 321 W. Third St. S. were purchased by the city earlier in the year and it was decided they need to be demolished. The council will also consider approving the bids on the four properties and awarding a contract.

The purpose of amending the code relating to animal protection is to address the behavior of dogs that have become a serious menace to the community.

The dogs that are classified as being “problematic” or “vicious” based on their behavior are being addressed.

In other business: • The council will consider setting a public hearing on the Revenue Purpose Statement regarding use of revenue from the natural gas and electric franchise fee.

• The council will consider setting public hearings for the approval of both the electric franchise agreement with Alliant Energy and the natural gas franchise agreement with Black Hills Energy.

• Boulders Inn Newton, Newton Enterprises and Newton Lodge and Suites are all seeking property tax rebate approval.

• There will be a public hearing on awarding the contract for the 2014 Southeast Pump Station Improvements.

• The council will have two closed sessions to discuss matters that are in litigation as well as on the purchase of real estate.

Ty Rushing/Daily News Thomas Jefferson Elementary School first-grade teacher Kristie Peters, seated, is one of the many members of the school’s staff that is volunteering for McTeacher Night from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at McDonald’s, 726 First Avenue East. Peters and the rest of the the school’s staff is challenging all three of Newton’s other elementary schools to see who can raise the most money during their McTeacher Night events.

McTeacher Night raises money for local schools

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer With its McTeacher Night coming up and its sign-up list nearly full, the staff at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School is laying down the gauntlet to the staff members of Newton’s other three elementary schools.

McTeacher Night started up in Newton several years ago when local McDonald’s franchisee, Ginny Blattert, was searching for a way to help give back to the schools. The teachers do everything from frying french fries to cleaning tables.

In return, customers are invited to tip them.

In addition, Blattert donates a percentage of the night’s take to whichever building is staffing the event. During the school year, she donates free food coupons to the schools that teachers pass out as rewards for academic achievement.

The staff of Thomas Jefferson will get their chance to raise money for their building as they participate on from 4:30

to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, and they are daring any other building to out fundraise them.

“It’s fun,” a group of teachers said during their lunch break on Thursday.

Farrah Deppe, a third-grade teacher, said she makes sure to tell her students what shift she is working so they can come out and visit her.

“It’s a great time for families to come in and interact with the teachers,” said kindergarten teacher Jennifer Norvell.

“Some people kind of get nervous about coming (to the school),” Deppe added.

The teachers said the younger kids are sometimes shy when they see the teachers outside of the building setting, and older kids sometimes ask them if they are working a second job.

Wanting to be the best at doing a good deed isn’t a foreign concept for TJ’s teachers, as they are the reigning district champs in fundraising for the United Way of Jasper County, and recently raised $1,147.17 after competing in the ALS Ice

Size of Iowa’s college marching band swells CEDAR FALLS (AP) — Howard Barnes is in his 10th year as the announcer for the University of Northern Iowa Panther Marching Band, and he has nothing but good things to say about the program.

He has seen band membership swell to 330 members this year, the most in UNI history.

“It’s been tremendous,” said Barnes, who also is the director of the school of applied human sciences.

“And it’s not just the numbers that are growing, it’s the energy and the spirit, the Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reported.

“And the reason for that is standing right over there on the podium,” Barnes said, pointing to band director Danny Galyen, during a recent rehearsal.

He credits several reasons for the surge in participation.

“The experienced students create such a positive environment,” he said.

“There is a real family atmosphere, and the younger students feel comfortable and safe. The kids really like the music and the shows we do, and the staff and students get along really well. The (game-day) audiences, especially the student section, stay in their

seats and watch the show. That makes the band feel valued.”

Additionally, Galyen has been aggressive in identifying and recruiting prospective band members.

Surprisingly, the vast majority of band members are not music majors.

“About 70 percent of our band members are nonmusic majors,” Gaylen said. “Music majors are required to participate in marching band for two years as part of the curriculum. Most end up staying until their senior year.

At that point they are able to write some of the music and the drills and get some teaching experience.”

Bucket Challenge.

While they are competitive, it is within reason as the teachers are using these opportunities to teach their students about the importance of being charitable.

“It’s giving back to the community,” said Paula Lureman, another third-grade teacher.

A lot of credit was given to the school’s principal, Lisa Sharp, for encouraging the community service aspect among students and staff.

“We got a good leader,” said third-grade teacher Megan Frehse.

Woodrow Wilson Elementary School kicked off the annual event last week, Aurora Heights Elementary School will hold its night Thursday and Berg Elementary School’s night takes place on Oct. 21.

A little over a half-year following the launch of Newton’s community brand, ‘Get to Know Newton’ has been adopted by the Newton Housing Development Corporation (NHDC) and Newton Development Corporation (NDC) through the development of new organizational logos.

The new marks for these organizations reflect the unity between the City of Newton, the NHDC, and the NDC in their strategy for Newton’s future growth and development.

“The adoption of ‘Get to Know Newton’ organizational logos on behalf of the NDC and NHDC creates a unified message and strategy between these development organizations,” said Natalie Umsted, Management Analyst for the City of Newton. “Both of these organizations work closely together with the city and with each other.

Vaccination Continued from Page 1A was a 417 percent rise versus the previous five year average, according to IDPH. Tetanus is a serious bacterial disease that affects the nervous, is commonly called lockjaw, and can be fatal.

It is rarely reported in the U.S., however, according to the Mayo Clinic.

The Mayo Clinic also reports that cases of diphtheria are extremely rare in the U.S. and symptoms of this disease causes a serious bacterial infection in the mucous membranes of the nose and throat.

IDPH said making the Tdap vaccination a requirement was to assist in the removal of barriers to vaccine, achieve high vaccination coverage rates and subsequently lower rates of vaccine-preventable diseases.

Prior to this change, Iowa was one of 10 states that had no Tdap protocol in place for secondary school students.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration first licensed the Tdap vaccine in 2005. As of 2011, 74.7 percent of Iowa teens (13 to 17) were immunized, which was behind the national average of 78.2 percent.

we all use the same message and visual cues. Our message is that there are a lot of great things to get to know in Newton.”

The Newton Housing Development Corporation, a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization with the mission of improving and growing housing conditions in Newton, will be using the ‘Get to Know Newton’ campaign to market the Newton Housing Initiative to the community and region. The Housing Initiative is designed to spark new housing development in Newton. In a snapshot: the City of Newton will provide $10,000 cash to anyone building a new home, inside city limits, valued at $160,000 or more.

The Newton Development Corporation, a nonprofit organization geared toward growing industrial and retail development in Newton, will be using the ‘Get to Know Newton’ campaign in attracting new business growth and development to the city. One of the

tools the NDC currently uses is the Buxton Report.

“The Buxton Report helps us make the case to companies that Newton is a strong place to build and grow their business,” said Frank Liebl, Executive Director of the Newton Development Corporation. “Through the use of the ‘Get to Know Newton’ campaign, we are able to show that Newton is a vibrant city with a bright future,” ‘Get to Know Newton’ launched as the new community brand in February 2014, coinciding with a new communications strategy and marketing outreach by the City of Newton. The ‘Get to Know Newton’ branding campaign was developed as a new way to introduce people to the many great amenities in the Newton community — excellent schools, unique entertainment venues and an ideal location. It is the community’s invitation to organizations, companies, and individuals to “get to know” all that Newton has in store.

My Wooden Kingdom

By Savannah Eadens Newton Senior High School At 700 N. Fourth Ave. E., lies an empty lot where my wooden kingdom once stood tall and proud. The grass and the weeds grow desolate in the earth that I ran upon everyday.

The wood used to groan and moan under my feet as I played joyously, not a care in the world. I sometimes stood at the very top, looking out at all the other children, and pretended that it was my kingdom, my castle, and my world. It was all mine. I knew every step within the walls of my kingdom and I could sprint through it without looking down, without thinking, without tripping. Everyday,

the splinters called my name, begging me to come play. Often, the wood did splinter my hands, but the battle wound of recess became my bragging rights in class. In the nooks and crannies of the wooden castle, secrets were shared and kept.

I grew up in a small house only two blocks from my wooden kingdom, and I could visit it whenever I wished. I thought someday I would bring my own kids to the playground and we would play hide-and-seek. In a way, I measured my years in that fort. I grew too tall to run under the wooden bridge and often forgot to duck, ramming my head into the bottom. I could no longer crawl through the small spaces with ease. I

Friday, Oct. 3, 2014 was beginning to grow up.

They said older kids were doing bad things in my kingdom, smoking pot and vandalizing.

They said it was becoming a bad neighborhood and that the fort was too much maintenance, that it was dangerous for children. They said that my kingdom was to be torn down in a few years. I never believed they would actually do it.

As a child, I thought my life was highly complicated.

My bed time was 8 o’clock, my mom made me bring my own lunch to school (how embarrassing), I had to help with chores around the house, my older sister picked on me and my parents had been divorced as long as I could remember. I wasn’t

worried, however, about college, my future or money, terrible mistakes I had made, people I missed or relationships I had ruined. I was free of the troubles of life. My biggest concern was who I was going to play with at recess. I took for granted how great my life was before I had to grow up.

The lot where my wooden kingdom once stood is unbelievably small. I thought my world was so big within those walls. Turns out — it wasn’t. So when the bulldozers tore down the Emerson Hough Elementary School playground, like a tornado flattens the earth, they crushed my childhood along with it.

Letters to the Editor

Braley shows veteran support Max L. Tipton Newton During the Republican primary, Joni Ernst is on record as supporting privatizing Social Security and Medicare. Now, she is telling you that she wants to save Social Security. It is my opinion that she will say anything to anyone to get elected. She cannot be trusted to go against the wishes of the Koch brothers, they have her in their hip pocket. Think for yourself and don’t be fooled by her TV political ads.

Kelley has served Jasper County well Troy Church Des Moines I am writing in support of Dan Kelley whom I feel has done a worthy job as a state representative. I’ve known Rep. Kelley since we attended Newton High School together, and have always found him to be extremely conscientious, focused and accessible to discussion. When he replaced incumbent Paul Bell in the House of Representatives in 2011, I knew he had large shoes to fill, and I have watched him fill these shoes admirably over the past few years.

Congressman Bruce Braley has a 95 percent voting record in Congress, and Ernst missed 36 percent of the votes in the Iowa Senate just this legislative year.

Braley’s record in Congress shows his support of veterans: • He introduced and gained passage of a bill giving tax breaks to companies that hire veterans returning from duty, unemployed veterans and wounded warriors.

• He proposed and gained passage of a bill to help injured and disabled veterans retrofit their homes after they return from combat.

• He made sure 800 Iowa

National Guard soldiers who fought in Iraq and Afghanistan received the overdue combat pay they were owed.

• He fought for 600 Iowa National Guard soldiers who were initially denied full GI Bill education benefits.

• He introduced legislation to expand veterans’ access to quality health care by helping the VA and state veterans; homes recruit the nation’s best doctors, nurses and mental health providers.

I am a veteran and proud to stand in support of Bruce Braley for U.S. Senate.

While serving, Kelley sits on more committees than any other member in the Iowa House, including Environmental Protection, Agriculture, Ways and Means, State Government and International Relations. He also serves as a ranking member of the Administration and Regulation Appropriations Subcommittee.

He is an ex-officio member of the Iowa Parks Foundation Trust Board and serves on the Capitol Planning Commission which plans the future of the Capitol Campus Complex.

Rep. Kelley is proud of Newton, and has served Jasper County well. Unlike many members of the House, he has

maintained a perfect attendance record and he readily volunteers his time for extra work. Kelley is not running a negative campaign against his opponent, which is a shining example of his character. With Newton’s best interest in mind, he stands by his voting record.

When you cast your ballot on Nov. 4, I feel that Dan Kelley is the logical choice. He has represented the 29th District with pride and he will continue to do so. We, as voters, don’t have time for condescending politics, and a vote for his opponent — an attorney from Des Moines — would not be the right choice for Jasper County.

Protesters greeting riot police by raising their hands in the air to telegraph their peaceful intentions.

Schoolchildren pinning bright yellow ribbons to shirts and wrapping them around their wrists to show solidarity with university students.

On sidewalks and in the streets, cardboard boxes brimming with medical supplies, food and water donated to the students. Students pointing plastic spray bottles at fellow protesters and misting them in the heat.

Clusters of colorful umbrellas bloom like poppies in a field of humans. First intended to guard against Hong Kong’s ubiquitous rain showers, they are now a symbol of resistance — of the “Umbrella Revolution” — after many tried to use them as protection against police tear gas fired into the crowd last Sunday.

Frequently, crowds sing the chorus of a 1980s ballad by the Hong Kong group Beyond, titled “Boundless Oceans Vast Skies”: Forgive me for being unruly and untamed and loving freedom all my life...

Still free and independent, Forever singing my own song out loud, going everywhere.

All of this is happening because Hong Kong’s young people want to live in a democracy.

As I write, we do not yet know how China will respond. It is uncertain how this is going to go.

My short time in Hong Kong, however, makes me certain of its students’ motives and their intentions.

The protests have been peaceful because that is their nature — which is not to be mistaken for lack of resolve.

In late 2009, I was one of seven American journalists invited to Hong Kong Baptist University’s third annual Pulitzer Prize Winners Workshop. It was more than a week’s worth of seminars, panels and one-on-one discussions with Chinese graduate students studying journalism for a year in Hong Kong.

For most of them, it was their first trip off the mainland. For the first time, they could set up Facebook accounts and use Gmail, both of which were blocked in China. They decided to use American names, too, such as May and Charlene, Ben and Jack.

Also for the first time, they could engage, openly and without reservation, in conversations about what it’s like to practice journalism without fear of prison.

To feel free to challenge those in charge because you’re protected by something called the First Amendment.

They were as respectful as they were relentless, pressing and pushing us to explain practices that to them were unthinkable.

Questioning our government? Requesting official documents — and getting them? Without fear of retribution? Of prison?

Privately, some of us U.S. journalists worried about what we were encouraging. Could all this how-to discussion about journalism in a democracy hurt them? How could it possibly help when they were required to return to China at the end of their academic year?

THE BORN LOSER

Diversions Dad’s other woman causes stress throughout family

Friday, Oct. 3, 2014

FAMILY CIRCUS

DEAR ABBY: My father is dating a woman who is not only my ex-boyfriend’s mother, but also the woman he cheated on my mother with and left her for. I don’t want to be around her and have told my father this, but he doesn’t accept or respect my feelings.

Being around them causes stress on my marriage because my husband doesn’t want to be around her either, and we don’t want her around our children.

This is causing so much stress that at times I’m afraid it could end our marriage. When I try to talk to Dad about this, he acts like there is no reason for me to be uncomfortable and blames my husband for these feelings. It’s like he completely denies that there is any way I could feel the way I do, even though she has brought nothing but negativity into my life.

I don’t know what to do. I want to still have a relationship with my dad, but my marriage comes before this.

How can I keep both? — IN THE MIDDLE IN PENSACOLA DEAR IN THE MIDDLE: Your father refuses to acknowledge your feelings because he sees you only as an extension of himself. Your opinions “surely” must match his own, and if they don’t, then they must have been planted there by someone else. In his mind, he and his lady friend have done nothing wrong, so how could you possibly object? That you could have a moral compass that points in a different direction is not on his radar.

Because your dad insists on imposing this woman on your family, recognize that you probably can’t have one without the other. That will mean seeing your father far less than you would like, and away from your husband and children — if at all. Under no circumstances should you allow your father to destroy your marriage as he did his own.

DEAR ABBY: I was wondering if

you could help me out with a co-worker who is constantly on her phone. Four, five, sometimes eight times a day she is making and accepting personal calls.

It’s very distracting to the rest of the office. When she’s not at her desk, it’s then my responsibility to cover for her.

I would like to find a polite way to say “these phone calls can be made after hours.” I do NOT want to ruffle any feathers. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. — TOO CHICKEN TO TALK DEAR TOO CHICKEN: The company’s policy on personal calls during business hours should be a part of the employee handbook. If it isn’t, it should be brought to the attention of your employer or supervisor so it can be included when the handbook is updated.

Ideally, the person to speak to your co-worker about this would be your boss. Because these calls are distracting the other employees, your boss should be made aware of it so he or she can deal with it.

TO MY JEWISH READERS: Tonight at sundown, Yom Kippur, the holiest day of the Jewish calendar, begins.

It’s a day of fasting, reflection, prayer and repentance. To all of you, may your fast be an easy one.

ANKENY — Ankeny police have charged two teenagers with felony arson counts who they say set cars on fire and recorded the crimes on a cellphone.

Police said Thursday that the 15- and 16-year-old boys were each charged with two counts of second-degree arson. They are being held in a juvenile detention facility. A Dodge Stratus parked in front of a home was fully engulfed on Sept. 23. A fire in a Crown Victoria was extinguished before the car was totaled on Sept. 25.

Iowa lawmaker waives speedy trial in abuse case

Iowa toddler injured in fall from 2nd-story window

GARNER — Republican State Rep. Henry Rayhons has waived his right to a speedy trial in the case of a felony sex abuse charge against him.

Officials have accused the 78-year-old Rayhons, of Garner, of having sexual contact in May with his wife, Donna Rayhons, while she was a resident of a care center and not able to give consent. Donna Rayhons died in early August.

Henry Rayhons has pleaded not guilty to third-degree sexual abuse. A trial date has not yet been set.

CLEAR LAKE — A Clear Lake toddler is recovering from minor injuries after falling from a second-story window.

Police said the girl climbed onto the back of a couch in her family’s apartment and pushed out a window screen, falling about 15 feet to the ground. The girl was taken to a local hospital, treated and released. Police say the live-in boyfriend of the toddler’s mother — who was out — was babysitting the girl at the time.

CEDAR FALLS — Officials say 150,000 gallons of wastewater entered the Cedar River after a power failure at a treatment plant in Cedar Falls.

The state Department of Natural Resources says the power failure was reported early Thursday morning. A backup generator for a specific disinfection system failed to start following the power failure.

The wastewater entered the river during a two-hour period. There are no reports of fish kill.

5 Officials: Quarantined deer in Iowa had disease

DES MOINES — Officials say more than 280 quarantined deer in north-central Iowa tested positive for a degenerative neurological disease. The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship released the statistics Thursday on the herd, which were killed in August as part of a scheduled depopulation. More than 70 deer killed in the herd did not have the disease, known as chronic wasting disease.

—The Associated Press

Election will alter Iowa’s congressional lineup DES MOINES (AP) — After years of stability, Iowa’s congressional delegation will soon have some new faces — and the candidates running for the state’s two open seats all say they will bring some homespun pragmatism to Washington.

Democrat Staci Appel, a former state lawmaker, and Republican David Young, a former aide to Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley, are both making that argument in the 3rd district, where long-

time Republican U.S. Rep. Tom Latham is retiring.

The district, which stretches from Des Moines to Council Bluffs, has slightly more registered Republicans than Democrats, but independents make up the biggest block of voters. It is considered one of the nation’s most competitive races.

Appel said she supports boosting the minimum wage and other efforts to help working families and argues that Young lacks perspective

due to his long career working in Washington. Young said his experience means he can effectively work across the aisle. He said he wants to reduce spending and cut taxes, but has also taken a moderate approach to some issues, saying he’d consider an increase to the minimum wage if it was coupled with a cut on taxes for small businesses.

“I’m the first one to admit Washington is dysfunctional.

My experience (means I am)

hitting the ground running.

Iowans appreciate that,” Young said.

But Appel said: “I’m focused on getting results, not partisanship, what would strengthen Iowa middle class families. My opponent spent 20 years in Washington and is part of the problem.”

There have been plenty of negative attacks in the race.

Republicans have criticized Appel for comments she made in a debate after Young said he supported re-

voking passports for those associated with terrorism.

Appel said she would “not be urging taking away their passports,” saying she supported working within the current laws. She has since said she does not support passports for terrorists.

Young has faced questions about his fundraising after he recently changed some planned television advertising purchases. He said it was not unusual to “reallocate” resources.

Gregg challenges longtime Iowa AG Miller The Associated Press Duties of the state attorney general: Act as the state’s chief law enforcement officer. Monitor consumer protection laws and prosecute high-profile criminal cases.

Tom Miller

Adam Gregg

Age: 70 Political party: Democrat Residence: Des Moines Occupation: Attorney General Education: BA, Loras College; JD, Harvard Law School Professional experience: Was a volunteer in the national service program VISTA in Baltimore before working as a legislative assistant to U.S. Rep. John C. Culver, a Democrat from Iowa. Later worked as the legal education director at the Baltimore Legal Aid Bureau. Opened a law practice in McGregor in northeast Iowa and served as city attorney.

Miller Was also city attorney for Marquette and was a partner at a private law firm from 1991 to 1994.

Political experience: Elected attorney general in 1978 and has held office since except for 19901994, following failed run for governor.

Top Goals if Elected: — Will continue emphasis on consumer protection, noting his previous work to fight businesses that run deceptive membership buying clubs and ensure for-profit colleges advertise properly to students.

— Wants to prosecute more cases involving human trafficking and continue work with law enforcement officials on training and education in this area.

— Wants to prosecute more cases overall and emphasizes consumer protection and criminal law.

Quote: “I love this job, and I’m energized by the job. I feel that we’ve done some of our best work in this term and are poised to do maybe even better next time.”

Age: 31 Political party: Republican Residence: Des Moines Occupation: Attorney Education: BA, Central College; JD, Drake Law School Professional experience: Worked at the BrownWinick law firm between 2009 and 2012.

Political experience: Adviser to Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds in 2012.

Top Goals if Elected: — Emphasizes protecting families and calls for creation of a division that would prosecute crimes Gregg against children and focus on issues including human trafficking and cyber bullying.

— Wants to help farmers by opposing federal rules he thinks overstep constitutional boundaries, noting U.S. Environmental Protection Agency proposals dealing with waterways.

— Seeks open government and supports efforts to ensure certain personnel records involving serious misconduct by state employees are made public. Wants to examine operation of state licensing boards.

Quote: “I’m not just traveling the state, solely criticizing the incumbent. I’ve actually laid out a number of really specific proposals regarding how we can do things differently when I’m attorney general, and what my priorities are going to be.”

Three Iowa universities could shed HR, IT jobs AMES (AP)— Iowa’s three public universities could save tens of millions of dollars in coming years and eliminate up to 250 jobs by dramatically restructuring their administration, according to a consultant’s report released Thursday.

The schools could downsize many departments’ human resources, information technology and finance positions by having their functions performed at a college- or university-wide level, Deloitte Consulting LLP said.

The jobs could be cut over two years through attrition and phased retirements, Deloitte said in a 138-page report, which cautioned that the staffing and savings figures were rough estimates and would be affected by how universities implement changes. The report also recommended the schools cut costs by requiring some workers to use network printers and virtual desktops rather than having their own printers and computers.

The Iowa Board of Regents discussed the proposals during a meeting at Iowa State University in Ames on Thursday. Regents plan to gather feedback

at forms on all 3 campuses beginning next week before voting on whether to implement the plans in November.

Board President Bruce Rastetter acknowledged that employees would be anxious about changes that might affect their jobs. But he said many of the cuts could be accomplished through attrition, “minimizing the impact on people’s lives and their jobs.”

He said it was premature to discuss whether layoffs would be necessary, or how phased retirements might work.

Typically, those involve offering long-term employees the option of reducing their work and pay but keeping their benefits for a period of time.

Deloitte consultant Rick Ferraro said any job cuts likely would be at least a year away.

The board, which hired Deloitte earlier this year to look for ways to cut costs and improve services, has already voted to proceed with major changes to how the schools buy goods and services.

Changes to academic programs are expected to be developed in coming months, after the board hires another consultant to help with that work.

Affiliation: Democrat Town: Knoxville

Race: Iowa House District 28 What do you feel are the three most important issues Iowa will be facing during your term as a state representative? How do you plan to address those issues?

Education: Funding our pubic schools is a necessity.

It’s our job to prepare our students for the 21st century employment. Working to ensure all schools have access to Wi-Fi and Broadband, Suhr as well as expanding universal preschool to private facilities, and making college affordable is in our best interest. We need to ensure a safe, supportive learning environment for all school children.

those we currently have. I am a strong advocate of providing Iowans with an alternative flat-tax. Many studies show that if our state were to move to a low flat-tax, it would significantly jump start our economy. Repairing and maintaining our road infrastructure: Everyone agrees that fixing our roads is priority. The disagreement comes with how best to fund it. I firmly believe that by continuing to cut out excessive and wasteful spending in our state budget, we would have more than enough savings to revert to the needs of our infrastructure. Entitlement Reform: Iowans are very generous people.

However, no one likes being taken advantage of. We need safeguards in place to keep our social safety net from being abused. Fraudulent use dries up much need resources for those who are dependent and abuses the good

faith of the Iowa taxpayers.

I propose requiring photo ID to use EBT (food stamp) cards, random drug testing and work requirements for those on public assistance.

Economy and boosting the middle class: Raise the minimum wage for 300,000 Iowans, ensure women get equal pay for equal work, make child care more affordable, ensure Iowa companies get the first opportunity to bid on state contracts, and reopen our work force development centers. Invest in our main street small business, startups and entrepreneurs. Clean Water and Energy: Work on a plan to increase our energy efficiency, improve our water quality, and provide access to affordable clean energy sources. Protect our environment and natural habitats.

Continue funding for the nutrient reduction strategy. We need to be proactive in maintaining these natural habitats and our environment for our children and grandchildren. I also want to move from outdated fossil fuels, and towards the innovation of solar, wind and renewable energy.

My opponent has been part of this problem. He’s stated many times that he is “uncompromising”. To work well with one another, compromise and negotiations are part of the job requirement.

The State government shut down in 2013 was an example of this partisan divide. Instead of building fences amongst the parties, I will continue to build bridges with my friends and colleagues in the legislature. My opponent is a Big Liberty/Tea Party representative, and he has been divided with the other House Republicans this past two years. I feel like it is not in the best interest of our district to be so extreme and uncompromising. I offer the opportunity to represent the district with respectful conversation, as well as a willingness to negotiate on behalf of my constituents.

In recent years, some would say the Iowa Legislature has become too partisan and divided. How would you try to overcome that?

The proposed Bakken Pipeline that would generate millions for the state economy could impact many Jasper County residents. With the information you have today, are you in favor of the pipeline?

I’m not familiar enough with this issue to comment.

How would you differentiate yourself form your opponent?

In just my first term in office, I have demonstrated my ability to work across party lines and get things done for the people of Iowa; working on issues that span a broad range of topics: education, public safety, emergency management, creating a better economic environment that contributes to job

With the information we have today, I am not in favor of the pipeline. I think we need more information to make that decision. The landowners in other locations have had issues with tiling, the loss of acres, as well as oil leaks.

We need to ensure our farmers are prepared for these issues, and understand the true ramifications to bringing the oil through our Iowa fields.

The route along public land, and the river and waterways is also a major concern. Sending oil from ND to TX (presumably for export to other countries) while potentially endangering our Iowa land is something that concerns me. Eminent domain is also a large concern. I think we need to move to more renewable energy, and end our dependance on oil and fossil fuels.

How would you differentiate yourself form your opponent?

I believe voters should be allowed to vote for their US Senator, while he believes this right should be removed from the people. I support public education, while he has been

My opponent has been a lobbyist in the Iowa Legislature for six years working on one single issue. In that time, she has been unable to move her bill past the very first legislative hurdle: a House or Senate committee. My opponent does not have a record of being effective. Ideologically, my opponent and I are on opposite ends. I am an across-the-board conservative that does not try to hide my political philosophy in euphemisms or focus-group tested clichés. I pride myself in being available and accessible to everyone in House District 28. While the legislature is in session, I hold a public town hall forum in every major community in the district at least once per month.

I believe women contribute to our workforce, while he believes they should be staying at home raising larger families. I believe women deserve equal pay for equal work, while he believes this is not a problem. I believe people needing state assistance are asking for a handup, while he believes they are always abusing “the system”.

Daily News The Pressbox

Big weekend for NHS sports It’s a big weekend for Newton High fall sports. I’ll extend that to Monday, because the NHS Cardinal boys’ golf team compete in a Class 4A district tournament on that day.

First, the Cardinal football team goes on the road for the second Friday in a row to battle in Class 3A District 6.

The Cardinal By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News football team has Sports Editor the task of taking on a bigger Ballard Bomber team at Huxley. Going on the road again and trying to come away with a district win is a challenge for the Cardinals.

Both teams are coming off losses.

Newton had a lead over Gilbert at halftime last Friday night in Gilbert.

Second-half mistakes — turnovers and missed defensive and offensive assignments — turned the tide. The Cardinals were still in the hunt with about six minutes left. They got the takeaway but couldn’t move the ball 95 yards to tie the contest.

Taking on the Bombers, the Cardinals can’t afford turnovers and missed opportunties. They are working to stay in the hunt for a playoff spot.

Second comes Saturday’s NHS Cardinal Volleyball Invitational. The eight-team tournament opens at 8:30 a.m. Saturday with round-robin pool play.

Newton’s young volleyball team could use some help from its fans.

Show up for a day-long session of Cardinal volleyball and energize the girls on the court.

On Monday, the Cardinal golfers go after a state tournament qualifying spot. The Cardinals will be in district play at Waveland Golf Course in Des Moines.

WHAT’S WRONG WITH SMALL BALL? No matter what happens in this five-game American League Division Series between the Kansas City Royals and Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, what a ride we Royals fans have had in 2014. Tuesday night’s wild-card game in Kansas City against Oakland was just that — wild.

The Royals brand has been small ball this season. Kansas City does not have those “Bronx Bombers” type in their batting lineup. The Royals manufacture runs.

They use contact hitting, stolen bases and bunting instead of power to score runs.

Kansas City manager Ned Yost had some decisions he deserved to take heat on throughout the season and on Tuesday night. But not the sacrifice bunting and the base running — stealing bases — that have defined how the Royals posted their best season in 29 years.

When did the bunt and stealing bases get written out of baseball? According to all the talking heads and others, bunting and stolen bases are not the way to win games. How dare you sacrifice bunt? Only pitching and home run hitting matter, really?

Playing small ball is what got the Royals into the playoffs. Thursday night, they used the long ball to beat the Angels in Game 1 of their series.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Cardinals are ready for Monday’s Class 4A district tournament. These six are returners from a year ago for the NHS golf team. They are (left to right) senior Tyler Thongvanh, sophomore Austin Reynolds, junior Jordan Henning, senior Devin Shores, junior Payton Thomas and junior Derek Damman.

Cardinals prepare for Class 4A district golf tournament

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor Newton High’s Cardinals got a little longer break than they anticipated. The Cardinal golfers were in action last on Sept. 23. They were suppose to play again Thursday in the Ottumwa Invitational tournament, using it as a tune-up for Monday’s Class 4A district tournament.

Weather intervened to move the Ottumwa meet to Friday then it was canceled. So, it’s on to the district tournament for the Cardinals.

“If we go and play golf like we shot at our home meet, we have a good chance at qualifying for the state,” said Pat Riley, NHS head golf coach.

“District tournaments are tough and ours is stacked. There’s a lot of good golf teams in Central Iowa.”

Thongvanh, juniors Derek Damman, Payton Thomas and Jordan Henning and sophomore Austin Reynolds will be playing for Newton Monday.

Reynolds and Damman have led the team this season, Damman and Reynolds each have shot a team-low 74 this season.

Reynolds has the best 18-hole average at 78.89 followed by Damman at 79.56. Henning posted a 76 this year and Shores best round was a 78. Shores has an 18-hole average of 85.11 and Thomas sit at 86.89.

Henning has an average of 91.67 and Thongvanh has a 93.89 average for 18 holes. Henning’s best round this season was an 83 and Thongvanh has an 87 in the books.

Moustakas’ home run in 11th puts Royals past Angels ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — Mike Moustakas homered leading off the 11th inning, and the Kansas City Royals kept rolling in their first postseason in 29 years with a 3-2 victory over the Los Angeles Angels in the AL Division Series opener Thursday night.

Moustakas hit the first extra-inning homer in postseason history for the Royals, a high shot off Fernando Salas that barely reached the elevated right-field stands at Angel Stadium.

Alcides Escobar had an early RBI double for the Royals, and their bullpen repeatedly escaped trouble in

Newton joins Ames, Ankeny, Ankeny Centennial, Des Moines Hoover, Des Moines North, Des Moines Roosevelt, Fort Dodge, Indianola, Johnston, Marshalltown, Mason City, Urbandale, and West Des Moines Valley in the district tournament. Monday’s district event will be at Waveland Golf Course in Des Moines and hosted by Des Moines Roosevelt High School.

Tee time is 10 a.m. It is a Par 72 course.

“We’ve never competed on this course and I’ve not been on it. The kids played on it last weekend and went up Thursday and played on it.

They know what to expect from the course,” Riley said. “There will be a lot of leaves on the ground and I do know it is a hilly course.”

Orioles blast the Tigers to open AL divisional playoffs BALTIMORE (AP) — The way Nelson Cruz and the Baltimore Orioles are hitting this season, it may not matter much who pitches for the other guys.

Cruz and J.J. Hardy homered, and the Orioles hammered out 12 hits in defeating Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer and the Detroit Tigers 12-3 Thursday in the opener of their AL Division Series.

Rookie Jonathan Schoop had two hits and two RBIs for the Orioles, who turned a close game into a rout with an eight-run eighth inning against Scherzer and three ineffective relievers.

The 12 runs set a postseason record for Baltimore, making its second playoff appearance since 1997.

Game 2 of the best-of-five series is Friday at Camden Yards. Justin Verlander, the second of three straight Cy Young winners the Orioles will face, is set to go against left-hander Wei-Yin Chen.

Cruz led the majors with 40 homers during the regular season, a good portion of Baltimore’s big leaguebest 211 long balls. His first-inning ORIOLES See Page 2B

Area volleyball roundup: PCM, Colfax-Mingo lose to ranked foes

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer NEVADA — Prairie City-Monroe’s attempt at back-to-back conference wins came up empty Thursday night as the Mustangs lost to Class 3A No. 3 Nevada, 25-19, 25-19, 25-13.

Courtney Van Houweling led PCM with six kills and a match-high 14 digs. Ashley VanGorp added five kills for the Mustangs (6-16, 1-5) and Jayci Vos contributed seven assists. Katie VandeWall and Emma Ben Schuff/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe’s Katie VandeWall serves against Collins-Maxwell/Baxter on Sept. 30. VandeWall landed 10 of her 11 serves in play against Nevada Thursday night.

Williams both had solid nights from the service line; VandeWall was 10 of 11 and Williams 9 of 9.

The win was Nevada’s 13th in a row, giving the Cubs a 6-0 mark in Heart of Iowa play and a conference-leading 22nd overall victory.

A balanced Nevada offense featured three players — Kati Cassabaum, Amaris Hornbuckle and Abby Stephenson — with eight kills a piece. They all benefitted from Michaela Matuska’s 24 assists.

PCM’s next match is Tuesday at home against Saydel.

Tigerhawks lose fifth HOIC match STORY CITY — Colfax-Mingo lost its 10th consecutive match in a straight-set defeat at

the hands of Class 3A No. 12 Roland-Story Thursday night, 25-9, 25-10, 25-11.

“Roland Story is a great team, top three in the conference, probably top two,” Colfax-Mingo head coach Michelle Grant said, “but we didn’t give ourselves a chance.

Too many missed serves and missed chances.”

The Tigerhawks recorded 10 kills as a team.

Dakota Hostetter and Ries Wilson both had four each.

Megan Earles led Colfax-Mingo with five assists.

Roland-Story senior Laruen Himan posted match-highs with 17 kills and five aces.

Colfax-Mingo (2-13, 0-5) plays Melcher-Dallas in its next match Tuesday at home.

Packers offense rolls again in rout of Vikings GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Julius Peppers crossed the goal line and caught his breath.

But his work wasn’t done after returning an interception 49 yards for a touchdown. Teammate Morgan Burnett pointed to the stands — time for Peppers’ first Lambeau Leap.

One of many for the Packers on Thursday night.

Aaron Rodgers threw for three scores, and Eddie Lacy ran for a season-high 105 yards and two touchdowns in the 42-10 rout of the Minnesota Vikings.

Jordy Nelson hauled in a 66-yard touchdown catch. Things were going so well in Green Bay that even Peppers found his way to the end zone through the mist.

But something was missing. “(Burnett) just said, ‘Go, go, go, go!’” Peppers recounted.

This is all new to Peppers after joining the Packers in the offseason as a free agent.

“It was actually pretty tough to get up there. I was pretty tired after that run, so I barely got up there,” Peppers said. “It was tough.”

The Vikings had it much worse.

The Packers led 28-0 after the first half played in a light rain. They essentially toyed with Minnesota the rest of the way.

“Green Bay outplayed us,” Vikings

coach Mike Zimmer said. “They were more physical than we were. They did a much better job all night.”

Peppers had the highlight-reel play in the second quarter after picking off a pass over the middle from Christian Ponder, who was hit by tackle Luther Robinson as he released the throw.

The 34-year-old Peppers veered left across the field and waited for blocks before striding the final 10 yards along the sideline to make it 21-0 with 7:06 left in the second quarter.

Peppers became the first player in NFL history with 100 sacks and 10 interceptions.

“I like the way it went tonight,” Packers coach Mike McCarthy said.

“Yeah, I’ll take this.”

Ponder struggled in getting the start at quarterback with rookie Teddy Bridgewater out with a sprained left ankle.

Jamari Lattimore intercepted Ponder’s pass over the middle on Minnesota’s drive after the Peppers’ touchdown, setting up Rodgers’ 11-yard scoring pass to Davante Adams to give Green Bay a four-touchdown lead with 4:55 left in the first half.

That was Rodgers’ 200th career touchdown — though he let Adams’ keep the ball in honor of his first career score.

“I’m very proud of Aaron,” McCarthy said. “It seems like he’s in the

point of his career now where every week or every other week he’s breaking a record.”

The rest of the game was a mere formality. Fans took delight in showering former Green Bay receiver Greg Jennings with boos whenever he touched the ball.

Jennings finished with two catches for 31 yards.

Rodgers was 12 of 17 for 156 yards — and the offense wasn’t really at its best. There were several three-andouts sprinkled among the touchdown drives.

But after a short week to get ready for a Thursday night game, the Packers will surely relish this win over a long weekend.

On the touchdown to Nelson, Rodgers found the NFL’s leading receiver on play-action. Nelson caught the pass stride at the 20 and easily outraced safety Harrison Smith into end zone for the Packers’ second touchdown.

Rodgers also connected with Randall Cobb for an 8-yard touchdown pass set up by three straight long runs

by Lacy. Cobb scored his league-leading sixth touchdown of the season.

The Packers’ struggling running game also got back on track, with Lacy running for touchdowns on back-toback drives in the third quarter. He barreled over safety Robert Blanton into the end zone on his second score,

from 10 yards out.

“Eddie, you know, he’s going to be a guy who’s just going to be continuing to lay on people and to be more of a force as the weather continues to turn here,” Rodgers said.

In contrast, Minnesota rarely advanced past midfield. Its only venture across the 50 in the first half ended with Burnett forcing Matt Asiata to fumble after an 11-yard run, and Casey Hayward recovered the Vikings’ third consecutive turnover.

Under pressure much of the night, Minnesota could rarely get anything going through the air until late with the game well in hand. Ponder was 22 of 44 for 222 yards.

Green Bay finished with six sacks, including 1 1/2 apiece for Mike Daniels and former Viking Letroy Guion.

The Vikings finally broke the shutout on Ponder’s 6-yard touchdown run on the first play of the fourth quarter.

But they still trailed 42-7.

“Playing like that, you don’t have much to say. It was embarrassing.

That’s not the way I expected to come out and play,” Ponder said.

Minnesota had the most notable injury when receiver Cordarelle Patterson left with a hip injury early in the third quarter after making a 6-yard catch. For Green Bay, defensive lineman Datone Jones left in the second quarter with an ankle injury.

Royals: Kansas City wins again in extra-inning fashion against Angels Continued from Page 1B playoff game since 2009, but the majors’ most productive offense stranded eight runners in the five innings before Greg Holland’s perfect 11th.

Winning pitcher Danny Duffy worked the 10th for Kansas City, and Holland picked up the save after arriving at the ballpark around the fourth inning. He went to North Carolina on the Royals’ off day to attend his child’s birth.

Mike Trout was 0 for 4 with a walk in his playoff debut. The favorite for AL MVP grounded into a fielder’s choice in the 10th before Albert Pujols popped out to end his 0-for-4 Angels playoff debut. Josh Hamilton popped

out to end the game, capping his 0-for5 return to the lineup.

Jered Weaver, Joe Smith and Huston Street combined to retire Kansas City’s final 15 batters before extra innings — and that’s when the Royals went to work. Kevin Jepsen let two runners on in the 10th, but retired Salvador Perez and Omar Infante to escape.

Salas wasn’t as lucky, giving up a homer to the Royals’ No. 9 hitter.

Moustakas grew up in the San Fernando Valley and played at UCLA before making his big league debut and hitting his first homer at the Big A in 2011.

The Royals can’t match Los Angeles’ offense on paper, but they’ve got some remarkable postseason mojo.

Even before Moustakas’ homer,

Nori Aoki made dramatically awkward catches on the right-field warning track to end the sixth and seventh, twice making up for poor routes to the Angels’ drives with a last-instant stab. Lorenzo Cain also made two exceptional plays in center field in the first two innings, underlining Kansas City’s stellar defense.

Weaver yielded three hits over seven strong innings for the Angels while his good friend, Jason Vargas, pitched six innings of three-hit ball for Kansas City.

Weaver and Vargas played together at nearby Long Beach State and again with the Angels last year. They’re taking a vacation together after the season — but first, the former Dirtbags dueled through 6 1/2 tense innings in Orange

County.

After Escobar put the Royals ahead, Los Angeles tied it when Iannetta drove a fastball into the bullpens in his first career playoff at-bat. While Trout’s October debut received all the pregame attention, the Angels’ tough catcher also got his first postseason experience after sitting out twice when his Colorado Rockies made the playoffs.

Kansas City went back ahead in the fifth when Alex Gordon doubled and scored on Infante’s sacrifice fly, but Freese tied it again with another drive to the bullpens in left. Freese, the MVP of the 2011 World Series and NLCS for St. Louis, got his 24th postseason extra-base hit and 30th RBI in his Angels playoff debut.

Orioles: Eight-run eighth inning widens margin of victory for Baltimore Continued from Page 1B drive off Scherzer put the Orioles up 2-0 before Detroit’s Victor Martinez and J.D. Martinez connected off winner Chris Tillman in the second to tie it.

But Baltimore had too much firepower for the Tigers. Hardy homered leading off the seventh for a 4-2 lead, and Cruz added his third RBI with a single during a wild eighth inning keyed by a Detroit error that kept the boisterous, orange-clad crowd of 47,842 on its feet.

Tillman (1-0) allowed two runs in five innings before Andrew Miller got five outs — three by strikeout.

Darren O’Day gave up an eighth-

inning homer to Miguel Cabrera, but the drive followed a double play.

Baltimore manager Buck Showalter then called upon closer Zach Britton, who had 37 saves during the regular season. Britton got the last out in the eighth, and by the time the ninth inning rolled around, he wasn’t needed anymore.

Miller had a 1.35 ERA in 23 games with Baltimore, O’Day finished at 1.70 and Britton closed at 1.65.

That’s one big reason why the AL East-champion Orioles were 80-4 when leading after eight innings.

Meanwhile, Detroit’s revamped bullpen has looked shaky — although it was shortstop Andrew Romine’s error that got the big eighth inning

going.

Pitching against Baltimore for the first time since 2013, Scherzer allowed five runs and seven hits in 7 1/3 innings. The right-hander was 18-5 during the regular season, but in this one he was burned by the long ball and outpitched by the Orioles.

Although he had a 5.56 ERA in the first inning during the regular season, Tillman began his initial foray into the playoffs in impressive fashion by striking out the side on 14 pitches.

Cruz hit an opposite-field drive to right in the bottom half after Nick Markakis hit a leadoff single. It was his 15th career postseason home run, tied with Babe Ruth for 10th place on

the career list.

The rollicking, towel-waving fans had barely settled down when Victor Martinez led off the second with a towering shot over the right-field wall. Four pitches later, J.D. Martinez hit a tying homer in his first postseason at-bat.

Markakis answered with an RBI single in the Baltimore half. At that point, six of 10 batters reached safely against Scherzer.

After yielding the back-to-back homers, Tillman retired the next 11 batters before Romine singled with two outs in the fifth. Another single and a walk loaded the bases for Torii Hunter, who hit into a fielder’s choice on Tillman’s 105th and final pitch.

Friday, October 3, 2014

Tomorrow, Mercury goes retrograde. The dreamy Aquarius moon will help us prepare by bolstering our powers of visualization. Can you imagine your life running as a well-oiled machine? Make it real in your mind, because seeing yourself succeed will help you overcome any obstacles that turn up during the retrograde.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 3). Your life’s palate is craving new flavor, and there are a lot of recipes you have yet to try. The habit you develop over the next 10 weeks will not only help your self-esteem, but it will enhance a close relationship. November is for getting clear and concrete about your professional and personal goals. A mentor will help in December. Capricorn and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 3, 33, 25 and 17.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Love your mistakes and lighten up. Who said you need to be right all of the time — or any of the time, for that matter?

When you slip up, don’t agonize. Assess your new position and start from there.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). Contemplation comes easily to you today, and you will mentally untie a knot that’s been keeping you bound to tired, unhappy ideas. What you once thought was inevitable now doesn’t seem so.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). If you’ve been holding on to an ugly little piece of regret, chuck it. Resolution will be painless. Declare that you did what you could and in the future you’ll do better. Then let it drop.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You don’t need to battle your fear. Try befriending it instead.

Fear keeps you safe.

It heightens your perception and helps you correct your course when necessary.
