Van Maanen, Skiff honored

by NDC

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Two local businesses were honored Thursday at the Newton Development Corporation’s annual Salute to Business and Industry luncheon at the DMACC Conference Center.

Skiff and Mercy Medical Center were recognized as well as Van Mannen Electric, which received the Jim Tyler Entrepreneur of the Year Award.

Frank Liebl, executive director of NDC, offered a welcome to the more than 90 business leaders in attendance and Jo Jenkins, chair of the NDC Board introduced the two recipients.

“We’re here as a community and we’re here as a partnership and that is what really comes to mind. Without all of your help and all different walks of life we would not be able to grow this great community,” Jenkins said.

Skiff became a fully-owned Mercy hospital and a member of Mercy Health Network after almost a year of work and due diligence.

Jessica Lowe/Special to Daily News Newton science teacher Mike Kremer has turned his Berg Middle School classroom into Hogwarts from the beloved Harry Potter books. Kremer said the idea came to him because he loves the Potter stories and wanted to make learning fun for his students.

S

tepping from the hallway of Berg Middle School into the eighth-grade science classroom is like stepping into Harry Potter’s Hogwarts complete with Sorting Hat, Quidditch Broom and House Robes.

The unique classroom setting was created by Mike Kremer who is working his magic to help students fall under the spell of science.

“When I was in school studying to be a teacher I was told ‘Not every lesson can be a rock star lesson’ and that always stuck with me,” Kremer said.

Since joining the Mercy Health Network, Skiff has been able to offer additional and expanded services in the areas of heart care and orthopedics.

The Jim Tyler Entrepreneur of the Year Award went to Van Maanen Electric. Van Mannen Electric, Inc. is a full service electrical contractor. Founded as a local contractor in 2003 with just a few employees, Van Maanen has become one of Iowa’s leading electrical contractors.

Currently, the company employs more than 100 skilled electrical workers, ranging from electrical apprentices to master electricians. Its main focus is primarily on commercial projects with a detailed emphasis on educational facilities.

In 2014, it added approximately 15,400 square feet of storage by expanding its current warehouse and with the addition of a new warehouse. The expansion included a new office, large tool room, wire cutting bay and truck bay.

Residents set to move into Newton Place Apartments

Toddler struck by car

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News With the final touches being made, Newton Place Apartments is set to hand out keys and start welcoming residents this weekend. The complex had originally planned to open June 20, but construction delays caused the date to be pushed back.

“When we started digging and getting this thing to grade we found footings from about six different buildings. It took us about two months to get it all cleaned up,” Miller-Valentine Supervisor

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Newton Place Apartments will begin welcoming residents Friday after being delayed several months from its original completion date of June.

Scott Seiberling said.

“If everything went as planned we’d be done but it doesn’t always go

that way.”

Newton Police say Sheryl Briggs, 68, was backing out of a driveway in the 600 block of East Second Street South at about 4:40 p.m. when she struck Brea Swanson, 21 months old, who was in the roadway. Swanson was in stable condition at the scene and was transported to a Des Moines hospital. No citations have been issued and the accident remains under investigation, according to Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess.

Calendar What’s happening for the week of Oct. 12 - 16

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News David Baxter teaches a vocal-music class Friday morning at Newton High School. NHS’s Fall Festival of Music, slated for Oct. 19, will be the first major public performance by NHS vocal music students under Baxter’s direction.

Fall Festival of Music set for Oct. 19 Event will be first major public event for new NHS vocal director

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When the Fall Festival of Music takes place at Newton High School on Oct. 19, it won’t simply be the main high-school vocal debut for about 38 freshmen singers. It will also be a debut for their instructor.

David Baxter was hired over the summer to replace Norm Grimm, the choir and vocal music teacher who retired in May after finishing his 35-year teaching career with seven years in Newton. Baxter was born in Sioux City and raised in the Algona area, and attended Luther College in Decorah, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in the spring of 2014.

After a year of student-teaching in Iowa City, Baxter found Newton to be the right fit for him, and he feels there has already been progress in his vision of the direction of the vocal program at NHS. The Fall Festival of Music is set for 7 p.m. on Oct. 19 at the NHS Center for Performance.

The choir will perform a fivesong selection, followed by the Cardinal Regiment marching band’s “Machine”-themed fall competition piece.

Admission to the show is $5 for adults and $3 for students.

“I’ve never come across anyone who couldn’t improve and

contribute, with some hard work,” Baxter said. “And the kids here in Newton are great. I kind of give them a key and allow them to kind of figure it out, and they meet challenges head-on.”

The Oct. 19 program will not only include a soup supper fundraiser at 5:30 p.m. at NHS, but there is work to do after the program as well. Since the all-state auditions are Oct. 24, Baxter will hold a “scrimmage” — or a dry run — in his classroom after the Oct. 19 evening program to help prepare students for the auditions.

Baxter said one of the five pieces his students will perform at the festival is an a capella song, with the other four accompanied by music. He said he wants to work in more a capella singing as time goes on — and to challenge his students in general.

“We’re accomplishing that goal pretty handily,” Baxter said.

“We’re well on our way.”

The teacher said he plans to incorporate folk and gospel music, with still a great deal of traditional choral music. In addition to his 38 freshmen, which he’s been told is larger than last year’s freshman class, he has 19 singers in his grades 10-12 Newton Singers non-audition group, and 32 singers in the NHS Varsity Chorale.

Baxter said Newton is sort of in between in terms of enroll-

ment, as it is bigger than many schools located apart from major cities in Iowa, but not quite as large as the highest-enrollment schools. That means he doesn’t have many “specialists.” Many music students are in at least one sport or another extra-curricular activity.

“Those are the kids I really like to work with,” Baxter said.

“When a student is super-busy, but still makes time for music, that’s how you know they’re really into it.”

Having been involved in a music program at Luther College with a rich tradition, Baxter has learned to partner with faculty that head up other activity programs. He said the lines blur between sports and activities such as vocal music, and the goals are similar.

Baxter said the backing of Newton Schools and the Newton Music Boosters have been invaluable in getting off to a strong start with the program.

“The support I’ve received here has been excellent,” Baxter said. “From Mr. ( Jim) Beerends (the band director) to Will Edgar (Berg Middle School music teacher) to administration and the boosters, things are set up for us to be successful.”

Thank You As I celebrate my 90th year, I wish to thank all of those who have made my life full and enjoyable. I have been blessed by wonderful family, friends, and neighbors, many of whom were kind and helped me celebrate my birthday with a card, visit, handshake or a smile. Thank you so much. You made my celebration memorable!

From grim to grins: Patient spreads cheer with hats Newton Daily News When Larry Swedlund comes to the hospital, he does it with hat in hand — literally. More accurately, he arrives with dozens of hats.

And it’s not just hospitals, but gas stations, restaurants, anywhere he might be able to offer cheer to those around him.

It’s not typical to walk around with a duffel bag filled with colorful fleece caps, but then again, Larry is no typical cancer patient.

The Newton native was diagnosed with prostate cancer in fall of 2013. He first tried hormone therapy, but when that wasn’t providing the desired results, he was referred to a Mayo Clinic physician with a reputation for a high success rate. Larry’s treatment plans include a drive to Minnesota every three weeks for chemotherapy. Before the chemo started this past January, his doctor gave him a warning.

“At that time, I had a ponytail halfway down my back,” Larry said. “My doctor said, ‘You’re probably gonna lose that.’”

Indeed, he did — but he opted to be the one to call the shots. “When I ran a comb through it and a handful came out, I decided to have some fun. We hosted a Saturday event, we invited our kids and grandkids, and I had my head shaved.”

Baldness brought with it a surprising revelation. “I tell you what, then your head is cold!”

To offset the chilliness, Swedlund’s wife Sue made him a fleece hat using a pattern from the Internet. He liked it so much, he had her make more — and then inspiration struck.

Submitted Photo Patient Larry Swedlund, right, poses with his caregivers Hannah Dengler, Jenna Seals, Mary Appleby and Jen Maki, all wearing the complimentary fleece caps he and his wife give out as part of his “Cancer Adventure.”

“I started buying more fleece, and she kept on sewing,” he said. “We made more and more hats, and I started giving them to anyone who was good to me. This included nurses and other healthcare people who took care of me, of course, but also anyone else who was nice, like waitresses and gas station attendants.”

“Everyone at my work has a hat,” Sue said. “Everyone at his work has a hat.”

There are “rules” to this project that he has dubbed Larry’s Cancer Adventure: He offers the hat to someone who has shown him kindness and, if they accept, he takes note of their first name and has them pose with him for a photo. They’re collecting the

photos, with the hope of one day consolidating and publicizing them.

Larry and Sue have set up a hat station in their basement, with a table for him to cut the fabric and another for her to do the sewing.

They can make five to six hats in an hour. To date, they have distributed about 400 hats and gotten photos with most of the recipients.

Some of the most recent people wearing Larry’s hats include staff members in the Outpatient Surgery department at Skiff Medical Center. Due to the dehydrating nature of chemotherapy, Larry has had to spend some time at the hospital getting fluids.

“They treat me well here,”

he said. “When you come in and someone smiles at you, as simple as that is, it feels good.”

Larry is only scheduled for one more session of chemotherapy, and then his doctor will determine what happens next. The cancer, initially in his prostate, has shown a certain amount of aggression, appearing in his liver, colon and bones “I’m one of those guys who’s pretty much all or nothing,” he joked.

He is optimistic with his overall prognosis. And in the meantime, he’s going to keep handing out hats.

“I’m going to keep putting hats on people’s heads,” he said, “as long as it keeps putting smiles on their faces.”

Spice up your life

By Kate Malott Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Oct. 9, 2015

The key to good living is cooking.

Whether cooking for yourself or others, preparing a nutritious and delicious meal is a rewarding endeavor from beginning to end, as long as you make the time, of course.

I’d like to think of myself as a cook. It’s a big part of my life and one of my favorite ways to spend free time.

Cooking with my mom, aunts, uncles and grandparents over the years has been a fond and valuable activity. Not only did they provide a strong base of food knowledge but a memorable, shared experience as well. Preparing a meal is a tradition I shared with roommates in college or friends on vacation.

Cooking is timeless. I enjoy it as much now as I did when I was 10.

After visiting with some readers about weight loss in

the last week, I found out that not everyone cooks or even enjoys cooking. One of the most exciting parts of cooking is the ability to experiment with ingredients. Who doesn’t enjoy trying new things?

For those who don’t cook, or maybe don’t know where to begin, here are three easy herbs and spices I’ve been using on a regular basis which I recommend to those cooking at home.

Rosemary When I tire of basil, oregano or cilantro, I know it’s time to dig out the sage and rosemary.

Rosemary is a fragrant and flavorful addition to any meat or fish, and don’t forget the bread. It’s a great addition to a baked loaf.

I enjoy adding rosemary to chicken and cod, especially, but it also is a nice match with beef.

The real treat is using rosemary in addition to any squash

or potato. I’ve been using it with sweet potatoes, butternut squash and zucchini.

Just don’t forget: rosemary is strong and a little can go a long way.

Cinnamon Cinnamon is my salt — not in that I use it to flavor meats but in that I use it every day.

Yogurt is the protein portion of my daily breakfast, but with an extra tablespoon of cinnamon stirred makes breakfast even better. It’s just better that way. I also enjoy making fruit salad made of grapes, chopped apples, pears or plums, yogurt, walnuts and cinnamon.

Cinnamon makes something bland in to something grand.

This time of year is as great of a time as any to cook with cinnamon. Apples are in abundance so try making apple turnovers, cobbler or cinnamon and sugar apple donuts.

Baby Dill Dill is a slightly sweet and savory herb I use when I want to eat something lighter.

It’s one of the primary ingredients in tzatziki, a Greek sauce made of yogurt, cucumber and dill. The sauce pairs well with lunch salads and main dish dinners.

A spoonful of tzatziki on top of a bed of spinach, cucumber, tomato and salmon with some extra dill is a great lunch. A spoonful served on the side of chicken, fish or lamb at dinner is a delicious component to make an average meal great.

Incorporating cooking into your life whether alone or with others enriches your life and those who share in the experience or food. I encourage you to indulge and make something truly wonderful and new in the next week. It’s worth the work and cost and you’ll surely be glad you did you spiced up your life.

So Anyway

Is it Mom clean?

A framework for patient harm

By Robert Goldberg A group of doctors has decided to rewrite the Hippocratic Oath.

The ancient pledge charges physicians with applying “all measures that are required” to help the sick. The American Society of Clinical Oncology wants to add a caveat — “unless those measures are too expensive. Then let the patient die.”

The oncologists’ group has developed a “conceptual framework” that relies on cost-benefit analysis to determine the most “valuable” treatments for different patients.

Sounds innocent enough.

But healthcare outcomes cannot be reduced to cost-benefit calculations. By focusing on the cost of a treatment — rather than its potential benefit — the oncologists are allowing dollar signs to dictate whether a patient lives or dies.

Under ASCO’s framework, new treatments will be judged “based on clinical benefit, side effects and cost.” Those are the exact same measures health insurers use in limiting patient access to treatments. Indeed, ASCO wants insurers to use its calculator to “evaluate the relative value of new treatments” as they develop benefit structures and adjust premiums.

Such “controls” could include shifting drugs to the highest cost-sharing tier of an insurance plan or requiring patients to try older, cheaper drugs before receiving the most

cutting-edge therapies.

Never mind that the Obama Administration has warned “placing most or all drugs that treat a specific condition on the highest cost tiers discourages enrollment by individuals based on age or based on health conditions” is discriminatory.

The oncologists are effectively asking insurers to discriminate against cancer patients -- in direct contradiction of the Affordable Care Act’s intent.

Further, ASCO has concluded that a treatment that can keep patients alive for weeks or months has no value.

The framework assigns zero value to any treatment that doesn’t increase survival by 20 percent. Right away, the formula would deem numerous modern treatments for cancer worthless.

That 20 percent figure is arbitrary. Take a lung cancer patient who is alive today because of the accumulation of treatments that never made that arbitrary threshold. Cardiologists hailed a just approved drug that reduces the risk of death from heart failure by 20 percent as revolutionary.

Under ASCO’s framework, sorry — not good enough.

Between 1987 and 2000, various AIDS therapies increased patient life expectancy by less than 20 percent a year. Had ASCO’s framework been instituted then, thousands of AIDS patients who benefited from those treatments wouldn’t be

alive today.

ASCO defends its guidelines by claiming that expensive new treatments have sown “unrealistic patient and family expectations that lead clinicians to offer or recommend some of these services, despite the lack of supporting evidence of utility or benefit.” America’s healthcare system can’t afford limitless spending on cancer treatments, the group says.

True, spending on cancer drugs has risen. In 2014, it topped $100 billion. But that’s just 1 percent of U.S. healthcare spending.

Moreover, these medicines are worth their price tags.

Successful drug therapies reduce overall costs by diminishing the need for future medical attention. According to a study from the Center for Value and Risk in Health, specialty drugs “tend to confer greater benefits and hence may still offer reasonable value for money.”

Successful treatment also benefits the nation. Cancer survivors have contributed $4.7 trillion to the economy since 1990, simply by living and working longer.

By valuing treatments based on costs rather than the benefit they provide to patients, the ASCO framework violates both the letter and spirit of the Hippocratic Oath. It should be scrapped before it puts patients in danger.

Robert Goldberg is vice president of the Center for Medicine in the Public Interest.

Apparently, to hear him tell it, he is sharing an apartment with barely domesticated swine.

I could tell you how I projected an expression of empathy, a look of motherly compassion and understanding while listening to his tales of woe of a dirty kitchen, no clean dishes, empty food containers and overflowing trash.

But my kids don’t have that kind of mother. No, my kids have the kind of mom that says things like, “Now you know how I felt!”

curds. And don’t even get me started on wet towels on the floor and clean laundry hanging from everything in their rooms, except a clothes hanger.

Don’t tell ME you weren’t that bad.

I tried unsuccessfully to stand my ground several times over the years by refusing to pick up around the house behind those teenagers. My record was four days. I don’t even know if any of them noticed.

And as far as their bedrooms went, I would try the classic “if this room isn’t clean, you’re not leaving the house.”

We have a saying in our house … “Is it ‘Mom’ clean?” I’m not sure why I even wasted my breathe. I admit, I broke before they did.

It took my third goround with a teenager before I finally decided … ehhh, I’ll just shut the door. At least I don’t have to see it.

But the very day we returned home from moving that final kid to college for his freshman year — Aug. 20, 2014 — I was in that bedroom ‘doing my thing.’

I envision passers-by seeing dust exiting the windows in that room, similar to smoke rolling from an enflamed house.

In fact, I made a little video of the before and after bedroom and posted it to my social media account. There was something cathartic about sharing my struggles and triumphing in the end. I have to take my victories where I can get them.

Join NSNWR as prairie seeds are collected in a community effort to restore the tallgrass prairie ecosystem; registration is required.

Volunteers will meet at the Prairie Learning Center at 9 a.m., and

UPC hosts guest speaker Señora Eida Dunn, director of the Jaime Dunn Children’s Home in Camiri, Bolivia, will be guest speaker at United Presbyterian Church during the 10:30 a.m. worship service Sunday.

The Jaime Dunn Children’s Home is dedicated to the care, nurture and education of children in southern Bolivia. A school is also run there by Eida. Her report on what God is doing in her part of the world will encourage and inspire you.

A potluck meal will follow the worship service. The United Presbyterian Church is at 209 N. Second Ave. W. in Newton, and all are welcome.

One of the most important conservationists in our nation’s history, J.N. “Ding” Darling came from Iowa and even worked for the Des Moines

Register. In the early 20th century, Ding Darling was a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist who drew political cartoons and wrote stories that positively influenced public opinion about conservation issues. To celebrate the way Darling dedicated his skills and writing to conservation issues, Neal Smith NWR will be holding this special day of stewardship volunteer activities.

The goal is to have

at least 100 volunteers involved in this community event. Besides just having a fun and rewarding morning outside with friends, participants will also receive a free lunch sponsored by the Friends of the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge.

Party guest feels singled out by subtle, ‘special’ treatment DEAR ABBY: I was invited to a small gathering of women. I arrived punctually, was greeted by the hostess and asked if I wanted some water to drink. I accepted. As I looked around the room, everyone else had a glass of wine. When one other woman arrived a little while later and joined our group, the hostess asked her if she wanted wine or water to drink.

I have never abused alcohol. Why was I not given a choice? I later found out that all the other women had been given a “show up” time that was a halfhour earlier than my “show up” time.

I am hurt by the way I was treated. What are your thoughts? — SECOND-CLASS CITIZEN IN FLORIDA DEAR SECOND-CLASS CITIZEN: I think your hostess could learn a few things about hospitality, because you were treated shabbily. As it stands, you have nothing to lose by asking her why because I can’t imagine that you would ever accept another invitation from the woman if one is offered.

DEAR ABBY: At what point should grown kids in their 20s pay for their own “extras” (cellphone, gas, movies, gym memberships)? In my opinion, if they can’t afford these luxuries, they should get a second job or do without. My husband, on the other hand, thinks they should be “rewarded” simply for being good kids.

At this stage in their lives, I think gifts should be reserved for birthdays and Christmas only and that we have been raising kids with a sense of entitlement that may be detrimental to their future (and to our retirement).

What are your thoughts on this? — ODD WOMAN OUT IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR ODD WOMAN OUT: My thoughts are these: If you are truly concerned that your husband’s generosity could have a negative impact on your retirement savings, then he

may be overly generous. If the “children” expect these gifts and don’t realize how lucky they are to be receiving this kind of largesse, the gifts should be stopped. However, if neither of these things is true and your husband derives pleasure from doing this for them, you should stay out of it.

DEAR ABBY: Six months ago my brother told me he vapes. At first I didn’t think much of it. Because I pride myself on how well I keep secrets, I haven’t told our parents. But now his grades have started sliding, and I wonder if there’s a connection.

He’s going into his senior year of high school and his graduation is on the line. If vaping has had an effect on his grades, it might be best for me to tell our parents and figure things out from there. I don’t know what the right choice is. What should I do? — HOLDING A SECRET IN WASHINGTON DEAR HOLDING: From what I have been reading lately, some teens have begun vaping marijuana, which is known to impair memory. Depending upon what substance your brother has been vaping, it could definitely be why his grades have dropped.

Secrets that can pose a danger shouldn’t be kept because they are not harmless. I think your instinct is to share your concerns with your parents, and I concur.

DAVENPORT — A Davenport man is being held on a $50,000 bond after being charged with sexual abuse. Caleb Dormire, 20, is accused of sexually assaulting a woman and threatening her with a knife in December. Police say he was wearing a mask and gloves when he entered a home that a woman was house-sitting on Dec. 16. Police say he threatened to stab her and forced her to perform sex acts. If convicted of second-degree sexual abuse, Dormire faces up to 25 years in prison.

School board has light agenda on tap for Monday

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A short agenda awaits the Newton Community School District board of education when it sits down for its regular meeting at 6:30 p.m.

Monday in the Emerson Hough conference room.

One of the action items on the agenda is consideration of a contract with Alliant Energy/Interstate Power & Light for the relocation of electrical Service and a transformer at 1302 First Ave. W. That’s the address of the former Hy-Vee West building, where a major remodeling project has begun to turn the structure into

an administration center that will house certain programs.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan announced previously that he will not be at Monday’s meeting, as his son, Jack, and other Newton athletes are scheduled to compete in the Little Hawkeye Conference cross country meet in Grinnell.

Gayle Isaac, board secretary and the district’s director of business services, will likely play a more vocal role in Monday’s meeting than usual.

HOW WE MADE THE GYRAFOAM Now Available!

Only $19.99 plus tax

In 1898, Howard Snyder, a rural Austin, Minnesota farm boy accepted an offer from Frederick L. Maytag to start working at the Parsons Band Cutter & Self Feeder Company in Newton, Iowa. This marked the start of Snyder’s inventive career of nearly thirty years culminating in a series of innovations that propelled the Maytag name to the forefront as an iconic brand among washing machine manufacturers. Dr. Tom Hoover, a Newton Iowa historian, has written a book entitled How We Made The Gyrafoam: The Story of Two Midwestern Farm Boys Who Changed Washday Mondays Forever, which is now available. The book follows the life of Howard Snyder, raised near Rose Creek, Minnesota, and reveals the role Frederick L. Maytag, a farm boy from Laurel, Iowa, played as his benefactor and friend. Together these two outstanding men led The Maytag Company to the top of the washing machine world in 1926.

‘Ham Buns and Potato Salad’ opens at NCT Newton Daily News The Newton Community Theatre production of “Ham Buns and Potato Salad” opens Friday and tells the story of a young man, Thomas, played by Michael Garrison.

Thomas is a successful writer in New York, who returns to his hometown after 12 years, and must face an unresolved scandal involving his childhood friend, Marian, played by newcomer Nicole Titus, and her daughter Abby, portrayed by Darian Morrison.

The town prepares for the funeral and the local residents are gossiping about why he has stayed away all of these years. With his return, heat is turned up on the old scandal which has quietly simmered since his departure. Marian’s parents, Dean and Betty De Haas, played convincingly by Tammy Sposeto and John Dougan, along with her Aunt Lola and Uncle Arl, mastered by Debbie and Matt LaShomb, impatiently await Tommy’s arrival as they gossip about what took place between Tommy, Marian and fellow classmate Matt Schuler, portrayed by Korry Stephenson.

Robin Stoner is spot on with her comedic timing as a Jewish agent from New York, and a local Vietnam vet, charmingly portrayed by Mike McKenna, sends town members scrambling for cover when he has one of his legendary flashbacks. All of the unanswered questions from the old scandal begin bubbling back

to the surface with both funny and touching results.

The production opens at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday and at 2 p.m. Sunday. Other performances will be at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 15 and 16 and at 2 p.m. Oct. 17. Also, meet the Playwright, Tom Vander Well, of Pella, at 1:30 p.m. on Oct. 17.

Tickets are $12 or adults and $10 for ages 18 and younger. Call 641-792-1230 for reservations. The box office is staffed weekdays from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 6:30 to 8 p.m., and one hour before each show.

Potter Continued from Page 1A Kremer is in his second year teaching at BMS. “Why not? Why can’t every lesson be a great lesson? No matter what I say about atoms some kids just don’t like atoms.

When you put them in here they care about atoms,” he said.

A self-proclaimed Potter fan, Kremer used funds from a Newton Education Foundation grant to purchase the supplies needed to transform his classroom to look like the wizardly world created by J.K. Rowling. It took 12 hours just to assemble the room, which features detailed maps, drawings, “rare and dangerous potions,” candles, a wall of wands, Hedwig perched atop the white board and

even an acceptance letter to Hogwarts.

“When they are here, they are in Hogwarts, they are in potion class,” Kremer said. “Day to day

there is not a lesson that doesn’t connect to Harry Potter. This has been a great way to keep the kids interested and engaged every single day.”

Submitted Photo Berg Middle School students gather around a lab table for an assignment during Mike Kremer’s science class.

All of the details and lesson plans with a Potter twist have cast a spell on his students, who are divided into the four houses of Hogwarts for group

activities.

“They’re in love with it,” he said. “Their response has been better than hoped for.”

Eight-grade student Lily Rausch said the room is like nothing she has ever seen before.

“You walk in and it is like you are living in Harry Potter,” Rausch said. “We get to do fun experiments like Harry Potter got to do, and even wear Harry Potter robes.”

Rausch, who was sorted into the House of Slytherin, said she enjoys the challenges among the different Houses, but her favorite thing is Potions Class.

“We get to make potions just like Harry Potter did,” she said. “It is really fun because you never know what they’ll turn out to be,” she said.

While Kremer said it is too early to tell if the classroom transfor-

mation will transform grades he has seen in increase in participation and excitement from his students.

“The kids put in the effort and are excited about school,” he said.

“They want to participate and be part of this. Their enthusiasm is 1,000 times more. It is night and day for the kids.”

A spell-binding classroom environment doesn’t just benefit the middle school students.

Kremer said it offers an opportunity for him to showcase his creative talents and helps him be a better teacher.

“It doesn’t just help the kids, it helps me,” he said. “I have yet to have a bad day, a slow day, a day where I’m not excited about the lesson. I want to be here because it is fun and it is thrilling to be a part of this.”

Kremer’s enthusiasm is spreading thanks to social media. Photos posted on buzzfeed.com are gaining attention and people are becoming interested in what’s happening in the Newton classroom.

“I just want people to see this is what we are doing in school. I want people to get involved in our school, be excited about what we are doing here. I want kids at other schools to see it and say ‘we want that in our classroom,’” Kremer said. “I just want it to be a positive thing for my students and the school.”

Official: $51M Medicaid savings a midpoint of estimates 15 percent. She said she chose a midpoint of the estimates at the request of the department’s director, Chuck Palmer.

The $51 million estimate for the first six months of privatization was factored into the state budget passed by the Legislature earlier this year.

Republican state Rep. Dave Heaton said last month that failing to pri-

Democratic state Sen. Amanda Ragan said she would likely ask Slaybaugh to testify at oversight hearings on Medicaid privatization that begin Nov. 3.

The state plans to sign contracts with four companies Friday that would privatize Medicaid management on Jan. 1. The

move requires federal approval.

Slaybaugh testified in court as part of a request

by Aetna, which wasn’t chosen, for a stay in signing contracts. A judge denied the request.

Aetna and two other companies have challenged how Iowa awarded contracts. Their grievances are expected to be reviewed by an administrative law judge in late

COUPON

DES MOINES (AP) — A state official says $51 million in savings cited by Iowa as a reason for privatizing its Medicaid program is a midpoint of wide-ranging estimates from experts.

Iowa Department of Human Services fiscal manager Jean Slaybaugh testified last week that experts’ estimates of savings range from nothing to

October or early November.

Slaybaugh did not identify the experts during testimony, but said that they included “subject matter experts from an actuarial firm.” Department of Human Services spokeswoman Amy Lorentzen McCoy said Tuesday that officials aren’t sure if a document exists that has all the sources used in Slaybaugh’s estimate.

Lorentzen McCoy said the department believes privatizing Medicaid will improve members’ health while also finding savings for the program.

Ben Hammes, spokesman for Gov. Terry Branstad, said in response to questions about the savings estimate that Branstad won’t accept the status quo of increased costs and lack of health improvements.

Aquagirls down Boone on Senior Night

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Eleven seniors swam their final meet in front of their home crowd Thursday for the NCMP Aquagirls.

Ten of those seniors are four-year swimmers for the Aquagirls.

The seniors led NCMP to a dominating home victory against Boone in Newton’s YMCA swimming pool. NCMP won the varsity competition, 130-40, and the junior varsity dual, 124-22.

“I love my whole Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News team, but I’m sad that Coming off the blocks at the start of the varsi- this is the last home ty 50-meter dash is NCMP senior Kaelee Knoll in meet for me,” senior Thursday’s final home meet.

Dusti Antle said. Antle has been a force on the NCMP junior varsity this season. “My teammates are always there for me when I hit a hard situation. They always lift me up.”

Antle laughed off the fact she swam an extra 50 meters Thursday night in the junior varsity 400-meter freestyle race. The counter card was off, and she thought she still had two more laps to swim. Antle was fifth in the race at 7 minutes, 16.67 seconds.

“Yes, I was happy with the way I swam tonight even with that.

I felt really good after the race,” Antle said.

NCMP won 10 of the 11 races in the varsity and junior varsity divisions. Boone swimmers collected wins in both 400 freestyle races.

Other four-year senior swimmers on the team are Lynae Doland, Brianna Fuller, Sierra Griffith, Emily Hawkins, Samantha Hedrick, Sydney Jenkins, Kaelee Knoll, Elizabeth Myers and Hannah Rhoads. Amanda Laube is a first-year senior swimmer.

NCMP senior managers Austin Bunker and Madison Humphrey have been part of

The meet was held at Fort Dodge’s Lakeside Golf Course, which is the site of the Iowa high school state cross country meet Oct. 31.

In a field of 17 teams, Newton’s girls finished 13th with 380 points. Urbandale won the girls’ division with 28 points. Newton’s boys scored 518 points and took 17th in a field of 18 teams.

Freshman Rachel Rhoads continues to lead the Cardinals. She finished 21st in the 5K race in 19 minutes, 45 seconds, a personal best.

“Ellie continues to be a strong and reliable middle runner for us; looking to move up some more these last couple meets. Katherine ran tough and notched off more time. While Grace made it further than the last meet, again, she decided she didn’t need to force anything.”

Sophomore Jack Callaghan was Newton’s top runner in the boys’ varsity 5K race. He finished 71st in 17:24 followed by sophomore Michael Bradley in 108th at 18:55 and junior Noah Sander in 109th at 18:58. Sophomore Dylan Main ran 114th in 19:28.

The Pressbox

Excuse me for being Blue this month.

Yes, my Kansas City Royals are back in the playoffs. They opened an American League divisional playoff series at home against Houston Thursday. The Royals lost Game 1, but that’s alright. I wasn’t expecting the undefeated run through the American By Jocelyn Sheets League playoffs they made Newton Daily News last year to the Sports Editor World Series.

As a lifelong and die-hard Kansas City Royals fan, I’m a little giddy for the second year in a row.

It’s been a long time coming. I haven’t been able to experience this since the 1980s when the Royals were competing and winning AL Western Division championships, a couple of American League titles and going to a couple of World Series — winning in 1985.

Right now, we’ll see how the 2015 edition of the the Royals play as one of the favorites to reach the World Series. In 2014, the Royals were the upstarts and the underdogs. They went out and played baseball with abandon — nothing-to-lose attitudes — and advanced to the World Series.

Two wild card teams — the Royals and the San Francisco Giants — were in the 2014 World Series. They proved being a favorite is not always the golden ticket to the World Series.

In 2015, the Royals ran away from the AL Central Division field to win a divisional title.

They struggled much of September, but had a large lead in the division. The Royals did win three against Minnesota at the end of the season to wrap up home-field advantage through the American League playoffs, as long as they are in them.

Houston’s Astros were up in the AL West then fell to be a wild card team and decked the New York Yankees Tuesday.

The Astros were impressive against the Royals during the regular season.

Let’s go Royals!

What’s up with officiating in football games, especially college and in the NFL? Since the beginning of the season, we’ve had one or more instances where officials have had to apologize the next day for a blown call in games.

Being an official of any sport is not easy, but if you have made the commitment to officiate and get paid for it, please know the rules and keep track of what is going on on the field. Now, I’m the first to say some of the touchdown celebrations had gotten out of hand over the years, but maybe if officials — I include the college conference and NFL top officials in the central offices — weren’t so worried about football players celebrating a touchdown, they’d see some of the mistakes being made.

As a Big 8 follower for many years, I know it was 25 years ago of the infamous Fifth Down Game between Colorado and Missouri in 1990. Colorado turns out had an extra down on the deciding touchdown drive. No one really noticed until it was too late to fix — the football is snapped and play goes on and once the game is over, it’s over.

Communicate and watch each other.

CMB girls finish 2nd, boys 12th in Jewell

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News JEWELL — Once again facing some of the state’s top competition, the Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter girls cross country team was up to the chall e n g e Thursday.

T h e Raiders, ranked 12th in C l a s s 2 A , B. Thomson f a c e d four other ranked schools and came out as the runner-up at the Jim Klein Cross Country Invitational hosted by South Hamilton.

CMB got top 15 performances from its top four runners and scored 75 points in second place. Class 3A No. 2 Gilbert ran away with the team title with 29 points, but the Raiders once again finished ahead of 2A No. 14 West Marshall and No. 15 East Marshall.

West Marshall was third with 83 points, while 1A No. 8 Panorama was fourth with 133 and East Marshall finished fifth with 138.

“Every one of our girls ran season-best times tonight,” CMB coach Jerry Meinerts said. “Gilbert is a great team, and I really challenged our girls to get our pack right in their with their No. 3 and No. 4 girls. That is right where they ran.”

Leading the way for the CMB girls was freshman Brenna Thomson in eighth.

Thomson hit the line in 21 minutes, 18.91 seconds, while junior Heather Jessen was 10th in 21:27.21 and freshman Shasta Moody was 11th in 21:28.19.

Freshman Lauren Ratliff also medaled in 14th, while senior Chasity Moody was the final scorer in 32nd.

Ranked Nevada overwhelms Mustang netters

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — Prairie City-Monroe coach Krystal Ehn got a good look at Class 3A No. 4 Nevada on Thursday night.

While things didn’t go as planned, Ehn is confident her squad will be better prepared if the Mustangs and Cubs meet again in the regional tournament.

If the two squads meet again, it will be in the Region 3 finals in Newton on Nov. 3.

Nevada had little trouble in the first meeting though.

PCM got better with each set but couldn’t string together enough runs to keep pace with the high-powered Cubs as Nevada scored the 25-7, 2512, 25-14 road victory during Heart of Iowa Conference play.

“They have really tall girls.

They have returning hitters that have played under their previous coach for a long time.

They are just good hitters,” Ehn said. “They have played together for a long time. We are building a pretty young team.”

PCM stayed close early on in the opening set, but Nevada used an 11-0 run to pull ahead for good. Abby Bremer had five blocks during that stretch, then Erin Francis and Abby Stephenson finished off the win.

Francis had an ace and a kill in the final six points and Stephenson collected two kills in that span.

“Our serving was not on tonight. We had servers who were not on par,” Ehn said.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior Tatum Nearmyer keeps the ball in play against Class 3A No. 4 Nevada during Heart of Iowa Conference action on Thursday in Monroe. The Cubs won in straight sets.

“We just struggled getting into a rhythm.”

The Mustangs were better in the second set. They once again were within 6-4 early and then even came within 1511 on a Mackenzie Messick tip later in the frame.

The Cubs though used an impressive service run from Amaris Hornbuckle to seize control. The run was 10 points, and Hornbuckle served up five aces during that span. Ste-

phenson added two more kills, too.

“They got less intimidated by their hitters,” Ehn said about PCM’s improvement in each set. “I had to tell them and remind them that everyone makes mistakes. We have to make them make mistakes.

We had to play our game not their game.”

The Mustangs got to 14 points in the final set, but Nevada jumped out to a 10-3 lead

and never looked back. Stephenson had four kills to lead the way and she had two more kills later to push the Cubs lead to 22-9.

Messick and Katie VandeWall recorded back-to-back kills and Messick finished a 5-0 spurt with an ace.

But Kati Cassabaum’s tip that found a hole ended the match. Cassabaum came into the night with a team-high 200 kills.

It’ll be a tough task to knock off Nevada in the postseason.

The Cubs reached the 3A semifinals last year, but Ehn and PCM will have a little less than a month to improve and figure out a way to pull off the upset.

“We are going to practice the rest of the season to beat them in the playoffs,” Ehn said. “That’s our goal. We want to beat them when we play them in the third round of the playoffs.

“We’ll work on a lot of things from now until we play them again. We know how they play now, and we’ll improve for next time. We’re going to be ready.”

The loss snapped PCM’s two-game win streak. The Mustangs are now 7-18 overall and 2-5 in HOIC play.

Nevada is now 23-7 overall and 6-0 in conference play. All seven losses have come to other ranked teams.

The Mustangs’ final home match will be Thursday against Roland-Story. Varsity action begins at around 7 p.m.

C-M’s Hostetter wins, L-S girls finish second at Montezuma

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONTEZUMA — Colfax-Mingo junior Dakota Hostetter is still working her way back from an ankle injury that sidelined her for a few meets. Thursday’s effort was a step in the right direction.

Hostetter was the overall winner of the Montezuma Cross Country Invitational as she edged South Tama County senior Isabelle Tyynismaa by a little more than a second.

Hostetter crossed in 22 minutes, 53.56 seconds and her younger sister was 22nd overall as the Tigerhawks placed fifth in the team race with 136 points.

Lynnville-Sully had three finishers in the top 13 and that pushed the Hawks to second overall with 66 points. South Tama won the meet with 49 points.

Lynnville-Sully was led by Ida Byggeth and Marissa Vos, who both medaled in third and fourth, respectively. Byggeth crossed in 23:57.67 and Vos hit the line in 24:05.53. The rest of the scorers for the Hawks included Kasiah Ehresman in 13th, Haley James in 23rd and Hailey Scandridge in 25th.

MONTEZUMA — The Lynnville-Sully boys’ cross country team did not have enough runners for a team score Thursday, but that didn’t slow down senior Canyon Kuhlmann.

The 2014 state qualifier was the runner-up at the Montezuma Cross Country Invitational.

Kuhlmann finished in 18 minutes, 56.64 seconds.

Kuhlmann trailed only South Tama County’s Blake Keller, who won in 18:14.78.

Astros, Rangers win AL divisional openers KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — The Houston Astros beat the Kansas City Royals at their own game Thursday night, relying on sharp pitching from Collin McHugh and stingy defense behind him for a 5-2 victory in the opener of their AL Division Series.

McHugh (1-0) allowed four hits, including a pair of solo homers by Kendrys Morales, while pitching around a 49-minute rain delay. The right-hander lasted six innings before turning the game over to his bullpen, which scattered just three runners over the final three frames.

Tony Sipp, Will Harris and Oliver Perez got the game to Luke Gre-

Newton Continued from Page 1B Ross Hull, a sophomore, was 117th in 19:47. Senior Zach Theis placed 124th in 21:06.

There were 530 runners in the boys’ junior varsity race. Newton was 17th as a team led by sophomore Bradley Portner, who took 156th in 19:23.

Freshmen Connor Moon and Larkin Christy were 430th and 434th, respectively, in 22:42 and 22:46.

Sophomore Blake Robson finished 446th in 23:00 and junior Spencer Elbert placed 511th in 25.53.

The Cardinal girls had three runners in the junior varsity race, which had 352 runners. Sophomore Ry-

George Springer and Colby Rasmus went deep for the homer-happy Astros.

Rangers 5, Blue Jays 3 TORONTO — Robinson Chirinos hit a two-run homer against David Price, Rougned Odor had a solo shot and the Texas Rangers beat the Blue Jays 5-3 Thursday in an AL Division Series opener as postseason baseball returned to Toronto for the first time in 22 years.

Yovani Gallardo (1-0) allowed two runs and four hits in five innings. lie Bakalar and junior Jordyn Soule, went 270th and 271st, respectively, with the same time, 27:38. Senior Annie Hurt posted a personal-best time of 30:28 for 324th.

“Rylie and Jordyn have done a great job of pushing each other in the last couple meets, and continue to run awesome for late starts to the season,” Tipton said. “Annie had another outstanding meet, and dropped almost a minute more off her time. She is finishing her senior year strong.”

The Newton teams head to Grinnell Monday for the Little Hawkeye Conference meet. Races begin at 4 p.m.

up your social life to many more. December through February requires great discipline, and you’ll be rewarded for it.

Cancer and Sagittarius people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 40, 20, 16 and 38.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Sometimes you just have to do the job you have instead of the job you wished for. The good news is that once you commit to hunkering down, the hard part goes by quickly.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’ve seen the attitude you want -- someone you know is wearing it well. Guess what. It will look even better on you.

A change of attitude will bring a change of circumstances.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

If you win today’s challenge, you’ll get a prize. But if you lose, you’ll get something far more valuable: an education you can apply over and over until you can win and win consistently.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’re someone’s hero, and the responsibility isn’t one you take lightly. Even heroes need a break, and this weekend will provide you with one, eventually -- although not before Sunday.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Anyone can resist authority, and most do at some point. But

resisting authority with grace, style and effectiveness -- now that’s remarkable. You could pull off such a stunt brilliantly today.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

No one can judge a performance that hasn’t happened yet, and that’s why you should refrain from making assessments before you get out there and prove what you can do.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’re thinking big, but you’re starting small. This is the best way. Incremental gains have staying power.

You’ll avoid future trouble by doing it right from the ground up.

Do you possess the following skills?

Most things that are available for purchase lose value immediately after the buy -most things, but not all things.

Search out rare gems. You have a terrific sense of what’s going to be collectible.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You’re willing to sacrifice for the team as long as it’s a meaningful sacrifice.

You want to get to the end of the day and feel like it really mattered, if not to you, then to someone you care about.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). In time you’ll learn what everyone was thinking today -- the good, bad and indifferent. Wait until then to judge it. Now is the time to get

involved to the point that you couldn’t care less what the others think.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your cosmic bonus will be time with people who like you for who you are. This frees you up to do your best in the ways in which you are compelled rather than in the ways that are expected of you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’re even more magnetic and mysterious than usual.

This attracts all kinds of interesting scenarios. For instance, someone from your past could return wanting another chance with you.
