O’Malley gets endorsement from county chair at UAW event Democratic presidential hopeful focused on trade at round-table

union hall, Jasper County Democrat Central Committee Chair Taylor Van De Krol stood up when prompted by O’Malley.

He then spoke for a few moments about why he’s endorsing O’Malley for president and presented the candidate with 20 caucus-commitment cards and check for $24.

“It’s for my 24th birthday,” Van De Krol, a Lynnville native, said.

The moment came at the end of a productive, low-key discussion that focused mainly on international trade. The discussion panel, selected

by O’Malley’s campaign staff with some local input, was comprised of

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Alissa Morrison, left, of Davenport, was named 2016 Miss Iowa USA, and Hannah Bockhaus of Tripoli was named Miss Iowa Teen USA at this weekend’s competition, held at Newton High School’s Center for Performance.

Davenport, Tripoli ladies earn crowns at Miss Iowa competition

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When Alissa Morrison finished as the first runner-up in last year’s Miss Iowa USA competition, the Davenport resident went back to work, preparing for this year’s competition.

That hard work paid off Sunday, when Morrison was named 2016 Miss Iowa USA in the annual statewide competition. For the fifth consecutive year, the pageant was held at Newton High School’s Center for Performance.

Morrison has been entering the Miss Iowa competition in each of the five years the pageant has been held in Newton. She was also one of the four runners-up in 2014.

“This has been the best investment in myself, to keep doing these pageants,” Morrison said. “It’s a system that has allowed me to open doors for myself.”

Hannah Bockhaus of Tripoli was named Miss Iowa Teen USA at

the competition. She and Morrison receive a long list of scholarships and health and beauty products and services as state winners, and both will compete in national Miss USA pageants next year.

Like Morrison, Bockhaus was also a runner-up last year, and she said a big key for her this year was to be natural.

“I had to compete as myself,” Bockhaus said.

The two-hour finals capped a weekend that also included a Saturday-night preliminary competition. There was an interview portion, which counts for one-third of a contestant’s preliminary-round score, along with an evening-gown competition.

Sunday afternoon’s finals pared the Miss Iowa USA competition from 21 women to 10 finalists, and the teens went from 25 to 15. From there, swimsuit and evening-gown competitions helped the six judges pick five finalists in each of the two age groups.

Linda Bacon, executive director of the Newton Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, was called on stage to accept the “Sponsor of the Year” award on behalf of the award winner, Hy-Vee of Newton. The Newton Daily News and other area businesses also sponsored the event.

Newton Mayor Mike Hansen brought his 7-year-old granddaughter, Tionna Hummel, on stage with him as he encouraged the crowd of about 500 or 600 to “Get to Know Newton.”

Morrison and Bockhaus will make a long list of public appearances over the next year, just as their predecessors, 2015 Miss Iowa Taylor Even and 2015 Miss Teen Iowa Aryn Book, had done.

Morrison said the moment of finding out she’d won was one that is tough to describe.

“It was euphoric beyond belief,” she said.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Customers lined up to get their last taste of Jersey Freeze ice cream and treats before the shop closed for the season on Sunday.

Jersey Freeze has great first year in new location

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News MONROE — As leaves begin turning and falling to the ground and wisps of cold air become more frequent, it prompts another certain fact of the season — Jersey Freeze is closed.

The ice cream shop moved to a new location at the beginning of the season and its owner could not be happier with how the first year went.

“In a word: Great,” Lynn Donahue, owner of Jersey Freeze said.

Located across the street from its previous location on Highway 14 near the county line, Jersey Freeze had many new amenities and treats to offer after moving to the larger building. One of the most noticeable was a driveup window for customers who wanted to swing through without leaving their vehicle.

“The drive-up was a huge hit

with our customers. Actually, it was more popular than I ever anticipated it would be,” Donahue said. “We streamlined our order/pickup windows for quicker service. We added more parking. The building’s larger work area improved our work flow.”

Also new was the Pie Jersey Freezer, an ice cream and pie mixed offering. The pies were provided by All About Pies, also located in Monroe, and owned by sisters Elaine Keuning and Amy Barton.

“The most popular menu item has been the Pie Jersey Freezer,” Donahue said.

At the beginning of the season, peach and apple were available with pumpkin pie closing out the year and becoming a huge hit for the ice cream shop.

Jersey Freeze was originally opened in 1992 by Donahue and his brother, Brad, in the building currently occupied by All About Pies on Highway 14 north of the

downtown square. In 2000, it moved to its second location and a bigger building, also located on Highway 14 south of Malone Motorsports. The newest location moved the popular ice cream shop across the street in between Subway and Casey’s.

Although the last year has brought many changes and additions to the business, Donahue and manager Shannon Sims are already looking toward 2016.

“We have some ideas which we will be working on this winter,” Donahue said.

Most of all, the pair wanted to thank the customers and community for their continued support.

“Thank you so much for all of the great support from our community and thank you to all the Jersey Freeze crew for all their hard work,” Sims said.

NEW YORK (AP) — The stock market closed out its best week this year with a modest gain on Friday, helped by airlines and industrial companies.

Investors now turn their focus to corporate earnings, which will start to pick up next week.

Most of the gains this week came immediately following the release of last week’s disappointing jobs report, which sent a signal to investors that the Federal Reserve would hold pat on raising interest rates at least for several more months. That signal was reinforced Thursday, when the minutes from the September Fed meeting showed policymakers are too concerned about low inflation and the slowdown in China to raise interest rates.

Dell buying in a transaction valued at about $67 billion NEW YORK (AP) — Dell is buying data storage company EMC in a deal valued at approximately $67 billion.

Shareholders of EMC Corp. will receive about $33.15 per share, which includes cash plus tracking stock linked to part of EMC’s economic interest in the VMware business. That’s a 19 percent premium to EMC’s Friday closing price of $27.86.

Cloud computing company VMware Inc., a subsidiary of EMC, will

stay an independent, publicly traded company.

Since going private in 2013, Dell Inc. has been investing in research and development and growing its software and services business as those in the technology industry continue to struggle with soft PC sales.

The companies said Monday that the combined business will create the world’s biggest privately held integrated technology company.

tionally well-positioned for growth in the most strategic areas of next generation IT including digital transformation, software-defined data center, converged infrastructure, hybrid cloud, mobile and security,” Michael Dell said in a written statement.

Dell will serve as chairman and CEO of the combined company. Joe Tucci, chairman and CEO of EMC, will remain in those roles until the deal is complete.

Dell Inc.’s headquarters will stay

in Round Rock, Texas. The combined enterprise systems business headquarters will be in Hopkinton, Massachusetts, where EMC is based.

The deal, which was approved by EMC’s board, is targeted to close in the second or third quarter of Dell’s fiscal year ending Feb. 3, 2017. It still needs approval from EMC shareholders.

EMC’s stock rose more $1.34, or 4.8 percent, to $29.20 in premarket trading about two hours before the market open Monday.

for the tour would be sold, but also how well the event and the idea of developing second-floor space would be received by the community.

“Any time you start a new event, you are a bit unsure of how it will be received,” Bassman said. “I can honestly say the turnout went above and beyond my expectations. Thanks to everybody who attended, to building owners who opened their doors to the public, and to those who donated their time to pull the event together. It truly was a community effort.”

After a few introductory remarks at the Capitol II Theatre, groups formed to make it more practical to give tours. One property viewed is the home of Ron Forbes. His son, Gary Forbes, and Gary’s wife, Susan, were on hand to explain some of the details and challenges of developing the second floor of the building, including the kitchen skylight.

Another property on Saturday’s tour houses Kitchen Concepts, and co-owner Marilyn Terlouw allowed the upstairs-only home she shares with her husband, Randy, to be shown. The couple live upstairs from the business they run, and Terlouw talked about how she and Randy decided how to use the narrow, 12.5-foot-wide space they call home.

Another property — located upstairs from Koenen Chiropractic, on the northwest corner of the square —

Giving Challenge As a way to help the local animal rescue leagues, each community is encouraged to donate items the duration of the challenge.

Newton, Iowa will be measuring donations to the Jasper County Animal Rescue League, which can be dropped off at Newton City Hall, Newton Public Library or directly to JCARL.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Jason Lauterbach talks about ongoing work happening in the building at 118 N. Second Ave. W., which houses Koenen Chiropractic, Saturday during the Second-Story Tour. The Second-Story Tour was held as a fundraiser for the Newton Main Street program.

is in the midst of a full renovation on the second floor.

Jason Lauterbach gave a brief tour, explaining the challenges and spatial limitations of what will likely be a one-bedroom apartment. Newton Development Specialist Craig Armstrong, who accompanied one of the tour groups, said the building was built close to the year 1900. He also said there is about 70,000 square feet of unused upper-floor space in downtown Newton, and getting young adults to live downtown is a huge key to the city’s development plans.

Rita Reinheimer gave an informative and detailed background on the building at 111 W. Second St. N., which is home to Bridgehouse Coffee on the first floor. The second floor is currently separated into a front apartment, which is

occupied by a tenant, and a rear apartment with a hallway bathroom, and seems to be not as far along in renovations as the Koenen Chiropractic building.

The structure, built in 1875, has been modified a few times, Reinheimer said, and a large part of the building was added later.

That means major changes to the back half — such as a rear entrance that would avoid Bridgehouse Coffee’s drive-thru area — are possible without jeopardizing federal funding that requires an historical structure remain unchanged.

The tour also included a very “un-renovated” space — the second floor of a building owned by Stan Clement, located on West Second Street South, south of the square. The 1,500-square-foot space, an office-style interior, appears

mostly unmodified from when the last tenant moved out.

The goal of the tour was to promote upper-floor residential development in the downtown area.

Newton Mayor Mike Hansen, who took the tour, said the Terlouw and Forbes homes showed how second-floor residential space in smaller buildings can still have many of the features of a large single-family house.

“We really saw, on the tour, how nice a lot of our upper-story spaces downtown can be,” Hansen said.

“Being inside those homes, you wouldn’t know you were above a store or a business. We see how these can be just like any other homes around town.”

Reading Challenge This challenge measures which community can get the most community members to attend a reading event. Newton, Iowa’s event will be at 3:45 p.m. Oct. 21 at the Newton Public Library.

“A police officer, a firefighter and a librarian will share a story with children and kids will have a chance to get an up-close look at a firetruck and a police car,” Umsted said.

The competition concludes Oct. 23 with results announced Oct. 26.

Last year, Newton, Iowa was victorious, winning four of the five challenges, only trailing in the pride competition.

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.

Opinion

Start the Press

The Newton vs. Newton brothers

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Oct. 12, 2015

For brothers Clayton and Wendell Newell, a lot is on the line when it comes to the Newton vs. Newton challenge that begins today.

Clayton lives in Newton, Iowa and Wendell in Newton, Kan. ... and for these two siblings, both in their 80s, it presents an interesting contest for bragging rights.

The friendly contest sponsored by the Get to Know Newton campaign will determine which Newton “is the best” through a number of community challenges over a two-week period.

The brothers were raised in Newton, Iowa and have always been close companions. They both enlisted in the United States Air Force in 1950, on Wendell’s 17th birthday, and then served in the Korean War. While they’ve lived in separate states for decades, they keep in close touch and winter together in the south.

In truth, the pair didn’t get too wrapped up in the inaugural challenge last year, but that

doesn’t mean they won’t partake this year. Clayton starts with somewhat of an advantage — Newton, Iowa was the victor in last year’s competition.

Clayton, 83, opened Forbes-Newell Office Equipment in 1960 and then began farming full-time, among several other business ventures.

These days he farms a little, but rents most of it, and does some woodworking projects to keep busy. Wendell, 81, laughed at the inquiry of whether he was retired — he’s very much an active farmer in Kansas and plans to stay that way.

Ironically enough, the brothers knew of Newton, Kan. from a young age. As children they went on family trips to Arizona by car. Their father thought it was funny to wake the boys up on their way through Newton, Kan., Wendell said.

“He’d say, ‘Boys! boys! We’re in Newton!’ and just as we got excited to be home after a long trip he’d laugh and say ‘Oh, this is Newton, Kan.’” As adults the brothers were

stationed in Kansas following the war. Clayton would move back to Iowa, marry and start a family, while Wendell married and began laying roots in Kansas. He worked as an engineer for Boeing for 30 years and retired at the age of 80.

While Wendell has lived in Newton, Kan. since 1973, he says he has fond memories of his childhood growing up in Newton, Iowa and enjoys visiting family and friends here on a regular basis.

Wendell says he’s good friends with Newton Mayor Glen Davis in Kansas, but despite the friendship he “wouldn’t dare say which Newton is better.”

“They are very similar towns with the same culture,” Wendell said. “Clayton and I have had great parallel lives ... but the most important thing is we’re still around and kicking.”

Both brothers agree they are game for some playful competition, particularly with the charitable giving challenge. Meanwhile, the senior men aren’t shying away from the social media competi-

tion. Wendell maintains his own Facebook profile and Clayton can rely on his wife’s account.

Clayton’s daughter, Nancy Kingery of Newton, Iowa, said the brothers are long rivals. But typically that rivalry is about farming.

“Their competition is in the harvest,” Kingery said. “Dad usually wins because we have better soil.”

But Clayton says that’s just part of the story. “Iowa produces better, but Kansas is good cattle country,” he said.

Wendell believes he knows the key to success.

“You don’t ever tell another farmer what your yield is first, you have to find out his before you disclose it. Otherwise you might hear a great exaggeration.”

For Clayton, there was no hesitation, and perhaps no exaggeration, when I asked him which Newton was the best around.

“Of course, Newton, Iowa. Always.”

Eye on America

Escaping tyranny

Another View

Junipero Serra’s unsaintly history I greeted the pope’s visit with enthusiasm. I might not be Catholic, but I appreciate Francis for his humility, his kindness, and his call for action to address the climate crisis.

Then I heard the shocking news: During his visit, Pope FranBy Jill cis canonized Father Junipero Richardson Serra.

If you aren’t from California, your response to this development might be, “Who?” If you’ve got California roots, you know exactly who Junipero Serra is. And there’s a good chance your city has a street named after him, or even a statue of him.

In 1769, Serra established the first Spanish missions in California, representing the first permanent presence of Europeans in the state. His goal was to “assimilate“ the region’s indigenous peoples into the Catholic faith and European lifestyle.

Unfortunately, he brought California’s natives much more than just “the good news.” He brought them misery, too.

Under the guise of “subduing the savage nature“ of the locals, as one mission priest wrote in 1796, the Spanish taught them all of the skills necessary to

provide labor for the missions — weaving, farming, adobe brick making, wine making and so on.

Some came to the missions willingly, while others came by force. Many came to seek refuge from persecution and enslavement by their colonizers, but in return had to accept the faith and the dictates of the missionaries. Some choice.

The system Serra created was cruel by design. Natives who were seen as disobedient were punished harshly with whipping, solitary confinement, branding, mutilation, and sometimes execution.

Spaniards who spoke up on their behalf were sent away, and sometimes declared insane.

Ultimately, the natives of the missions fared little better than their counterparts in the countryside. Lacking immunity to European diseases, they succumbed in droves — a problem magnified by crowded living conditions, poor sanitation, meager diets, physical abuse, and long hours of hard labor.

Author M. Kat Anderson, who writes about California’s indigenous people, asserts that the Spanish missions had mortality rates of 72 percent. Her research on mission records turned up a finding of 62,000 deaths compared to 29,000 births between 1779 and 1833.

In one case Anderson cited, an indigenous man ran away

from a mission and was forcibly returned. When asked why he left, he said that when his son was sick, the missionaries refused to give him any food, so his son died of hunger.

Within a century of the mission system’s establishment, California’s native population had dwindled to a sliver of its pre-colonial size.

Father Serra didn’t rob California’s indigenous people of their land, culture, and lives all by himself, but he was a key founding figure who set the ball in motion. Based on this unsaintly history, this canonization seems out of place with the pontiff ’s own ideas about what it takes to be “pro-life.”

Pope Francis rightly earned ovations for calling on U.S. leaders to protect the planet and the vulnerable. During his remarks to Congress, he acknowledged that “the rights of those who were here long before us were not always respected,” adding, “We must not repeat the sins and the errors of the past.”

If we shouldn’t repeat those sins, we shouldn’t honor them, either. Instead of canonizing the Junipero Serras of the world, the church should celebrate the brave few who spoke out against their abuses.

North Korea is called the “worst place on earth” for good reason. Thousands of people are tortured.

Some North Koreans eat rodents to try to sur- By John Stossel vive, and many starve anyway. In winter, they freeze. No one but the dictator has any true freedom, and no one is allowed to leave.

One person who understands that is Yeonmi Park. Now she’s 22.

But for 16 years, she did amazing things “In Order to Live.” That is the title of her new book.

“We didn’t have enough food. I had to see dead bodies in the streets,” she says. Still, she and other North Koreans worshipped the late “Dear Leader,” Kim Jong Il, and his son, current leader and “Brilliant Comrade,” Kim Jong Un. Yeonmi told my TV studio audience that she believed Kim “could read my mind.”

When she was allowed to attend school, Yeonmi was taught to hate Americans. “We have to call all Americans ‘bastards.’

My math problem was ‘you had four American bastards and you could choke two, how many American bastards are left to kill?’ North Korea educates people that our suffering is because of these bad American bastards. Because of them, we are starving.”

But tiny bits of freedom can undermine a regime’s monopoly on thought. For Yeonmi, a black-market DVD of a Western film made a difference.

“I watched the movie ‘Titanic’ and I was shocked. Like, how could this kind of ridiculous film exist? I’d never seen people dying for love, except dying for the regime and the party.”

When Yeonmi was 13, she and her mother es-

caped into China, where they were kidnapped and sold into slavery: “Chinese government, if they catch us, will sell us back to North Korea, so we are very vulnerable in China. Chinese people, they know that.”

Sex traffickers took advantage of that vulnerability. “That’s what happened to both of us, my mother and me.” At the time, she didn’t know what sex was. “I didn’t even know what kissing was.”

For two years, she was an abused captive. Then a Protestant mission helped her escape to South Korea by walking across the Gobi Desert.

South Korea “was another shock,” because she realized that freedom meant more than just having food — it meant making her own decisions.

“I thought freedom meant wearing jeans or watching movies without worrying about getting arrested or executed,” says Yeonmi, “but what freedom meant in South Korea was you’ve got to think for yourself. They were asking me, ‘What do you think about this?

What do you want to do with your life? What do you like to eat?’ I was so upset, like, ‘Tell me what to do, tell me what to wear!’”

South Koreans sneered at North Korean escapees. “Everybody told me I was a loser, because I am from communism country. I don’t have any knowledge of Western culture.”

Books became the next step in her journey.

“I devoured books,” she says. “One day, I picked up a book called ‘Animal Farm.’ That changed my life. In that book, I saw myself. I saw my grandmother.”

The George Orwell allegory about how noble-sounding revolutions can turn into tyranny resonated with Yeonmi.

“I could understand what really had happened to me and what really had happened to North Korea.”

Semester abroad offers couple a chance to grow DEAR ABBY: I am a college sophomore and have been dating my boyfriend, “Evan,” for nearly a year.

I am planning to take a semester abroad at the beginning of my junior year.

Recently, Evan confessed that if I leave, our relationship would have to end. He asserts that being away from me for more than three months would be too painful and scary, not knowing if I was all right. (He has some anxiety issues, for which I have urged him to consider therapy.)

Should I end this relationship now, or continue to see if Evan changes his mind? There’s a possibility, depending on program availability and class requirements, that I may not even be able to go. I don’t want to break any hearts or inflict any pain. Evan is my best friend, and I’m scared of losing him. — AMBITIOUS STUDENT IN MARYLAND DEAR STUDENT: Gather your courage and tell Evan that you love him and want him to be your best friend forever, but that the semester abroad is an opportunity to grow. By the way, your absence will provide Evan with one, too, if he chooses to avail himself of it.

You are right that he needs to work on his anxiety issues. It would be a huge mistake to let them stand in the way of your having the experience of a lifetime if you are lucky enough to get it. There are worse things than being alone, and one of them is being attached to a partner who would hold you back.

DEAR ABBY: I am 50, own my home and am debt-free. I have friends but have never dated anyone. This doesn’t bother me, although many of my close friends joke with me about being a “50-year-old virgin.”

My problem is, four years ago I lost my job. I have a few investments and

a small inheritance that, when combined, give me an income of $60,000 a year. So I don’t need more money.

Although I did look for another job for two years, I haven’t tried for the past two. I tell my friends I’ve decided to retire. They keep telling me I need to find a job because I need something to keep me busy. I remind them that I have enough money for everything I need.

Friends have started telling me I may have a “problem” and should think about counseling. I see no need for it, but have decided to get an outside opinion. So, Abby, should I see a counselor about my lack of interest in finding a new job? — OUT OF WORK IN TEXAS DEAR OUT OF WORK: There are reasons people work besides the financial one. Social stimulation is important, too. I am glad you have the money to support yourself now, but what if something unplanned or catastrophic happens in the future that jeopardizes your nest egg?

Fifty is young to “retire.” The counseling you’re considering should be used to determine why you lack the motivation to continue being a contributing member of society. (This may be the “problem” your friends are hinting at.)

Apartment resident leaps to safety during Waterloo blaze WATERLOO — A woman has jumped to safety from a second-floor window and a man has been rescued by firefighters during a blaze at a Waterloo apartment building. Authorities say the fire was reported at little after 9:30 p.m. Sunday. The woman limped away after landing on a satellite dish and later was taken by private vehicle to a hospital. Waterloo fire battalion chief Michael Moore says the fire appears to have started in a laundry room.

The cause is being investigated.

Police arrest teen after grandmother, 79, found dead DES MOINES — A teen is facing charges after Des Moines police found his 79-year-old grandmother dead inside a home on the city’s east side. Des Moines Police said they were called to the home around 11:20 p.m. Saturday to investigate an assault. Seventy-nine-year-old Rachel Pray of Des Moines was found dead inside the home. Police said Sunday the suspect in the case is Pray’s 17-year-old grandson.

New jobs sought for 71 workers losing jobs in Red Oak SHENANDOAH — New jobs are being sought for 71 workers who will be laid off from the Eaton Corp. plant in Shenandoah. The company announced last week that it would be eliminating its third shift at the plant by early December. Jim Michels is manager of global business communications for Eaton Vehicle Group, and he says the layoffs result from ongoing reviews of market conditions. Despite the layoffs, Eaton’s Shenandoah plant and plants in Belmond and Spencer still will employ about 1,100 workers.

O’Malley Continued from Page 1A State Sen. Chaz Allen, Jasper County Treasurer Doug Bishop, former UAW International representative Max Tipton and current UAW 997 Vice President Stephanie McCumber.

It was O’Malley’s third appearance in Jasper County this year, having been to Uncle Nancy’s Eatery and Coffee House for a townhall meeting in July and an event at the Newton Public Library in August.

Van De Krol told O’Malley it was important for him to take his time before selecting a candidate, and after hearing O’Malley, Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton speak during their recent stops in Newton, and after some careful study, he decided to support O’Malley.

“I think you have great grounding, and you’re a young candidate with great organizers,” Van De Krol told the former Maryland governor.

O’Malley seemed to recognize some Central Iowa supporters, volunteers and staff by sight.

He acknowledged State Rep. Dan Kelley, who recently announced his endorsement of O’Malley.

Much of the discus-

sion centered around issues that affected Maytag, its former employers and the Jasper County workforce. Allen, the Newton mayor from 2004 to 2012, said the Newton area has replaced the 1,700 jobs lost from Maytag’s closure, but it has replaced $19-to-$20 per hour jobs with ones that pay around $14 or $15 per hour.

Allen said the economic impact of losing Maytag is around $7.2 million annually.

Bishop said there are young people in the workforce now who are among a generation not to have the opportunities of its predecessors.

He also mentioned veterans who are in a gap because of sign-up dates.

Tipton made more than one mention of how the U.S. “always seems to get the dirty end of the stick in international trade deals.” O’Malley has publicly denounced the Trans-Pacific Partnership.

The loudest applause O’Malley seemed to draw was when he mentioned one of the regularly stated key points of his campaign: “I believe that economy isn’t money; our economy is people.”

Van De Krol said after the meeting that having Allen and Bishop on a panel at an O’Malley event didn’t seem odd to

him, even though both have publicly declared their support of “Draft Biden Iowa,” as Vice President Joe Biden is not a declared candidate.

“I was contacted about the panel, and I gave a few suggestions,” Van De Krol said.

The county central committee chair said his endorsement of O’Malley is a personal one, but as chair, he will continue to help further the goals and aims of other candidates and of the Democratic Party.

The Lynnville-Sully High School and Simpson College graduate said knocking on doors and making calls for a candidate is nothing new for him. He works fulltime for State Sen. Matt McCoy. After Tuesday’s televised presidential debate, which O’Malley mentioned several times as a means of getting down to real issues, the next major turning point in the caucus season could be when Biden makes some type of announcement.

“That’s something I’ve run into in making phone calls for O’Malley in the past few days,” Van De Krol said. “A lot of folks mention Biden when discussing who to vote for.”

Iowa City high rises present challenge for firefighters

By Stephen Gruber-Miller Iowa City Press-Citizen IOWA CITY — Iowa City’s upward growth is changing the landscape of firefighting in the city.

A number of large projects are scheduled to begin construction in the next year or two, and will join existing 14-story buildings like Park@201, which went up in 2014, and the Plaza Towers, which opened in 2005.

“The complexion of our city is changing,” Iowa City Fire Department Deputy Chief Roger Jensen. “You know, it’s a positive thing, we certainly support the growth, but it does present a challenge for us.”

The growth Jensen mentioned includes projects like the 15-story Chauncey Tower, which will go up at the corner of East College and South Gilbert streets. There’s also

RISE at Riverfront Crossings, a pair of towers including a 15-story residential building and 14-story hotel that are set to be constructed at the intersection of Court and Linn streets, as well as University of Iowa projects like the new Hancher building, residence halls and University of Iowa Children’s Hospital, which, while not as tall as the high rises, still present complex challenges for firefighters.

When alarms go off in buildings of that size, the fire department takes them seriously.

Jensen said the department responds to calls at high rise buildings by sending four engines, a ladder company and a battalion chief — in other words, everyone on duty at the time — and then calling for backup.

“We have the best chance of being successful

by having enough resources right away,” he said.

And that’s the response for all buildings that fall under the ICFD’s special risk category, Jensen said.

Special risk is the highest of a four-tier system that the fire department uses to determine its response to incidents. The other categories are low, moderate and high risk.

Iowa City Fire Chief John Grier said the new projects slated for construction will differ only in that there will be more high rises to respond to.

He said his department has inspected and handled calls for tall buildings, including Plaza Towers and many University of Iowa dorms, for years. In fact, UI has a contract with the ICFD to handle fire protection, which amounted to approximately $1.75 million in fiscal year 2014.

Chichaqua for Charity

Grassley addresses education issues during Q&A in Colfax

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News COLFAX — Colfax-Mingo Junior/ Senior High School students had more than an hour to ask U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) several questions about education and current issues Friday afternoon in the school cafeteria.

Colfax was one of the latest stops in Grassley’s 99-county tour of Iowa. C-M Interim Superintendent Tracy Hook introduced Grassley at approximately 1:15 p.m. to an audience of high school students and then the 81-year-old senator immediately jumped into a Q&A session.

The first question Grassley took led to him listing the top three federal issues he would like to see addressed, including changes to Obamacare, the implementaOlp/Daily News tion of an immigration bill and a consti- U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley (R-IA) speaks to Colfax-Mingo studentsAlex during a Q&A tutional amendment that requires a bal- session at the junior/senior high school Friday. anced budget.

He also believes there is a shortage of psychologists and psychiatrists in the country to help control the issue.

C-M High School Principal Todd Jones asked for Grassley to give his view on the current state of education and what kind of role the Department of Education should take.

Grassley spoke about his displeasure of the federal government pushing 46 states that adopted Common Core, but only about a dozen states actually received federal funds.

“I don’t want to say Common Core is good or bad,” he said. “Washington should not be shoving things down people’s throats that they do not have the legal authority to do and just because they have some money to put out.”

Prior to the hour long Q&A with C-M students, Grassley addressed anti-cyberbullying during a press briefing and said he would support any state efforts to fight bullying.

“In any place we shouldn’t have bullying. A school is a place everybody should feel safe and secure because that’s what it takes to have a good learning environment,” Grassley said. “I think it’s probably right that most anti-bullying legislation would be state and local because states differ from time to time. I think it’s fair to say the federal government should do nothing to discourage anti-bullying laws.”

Larry & Diana Ambroson Tips To Improve Balance

Call 641-792-3121 ext. 6542,

Many older adults have problems with balance.

Walking is one of the best ways to build balance.

Adding strength training to your exercise plan can help strengthen muscles around joints. Practicing tai chi may also help improve balance. To incorporate balance training into your day, try the following. Brush your teeth while standing on one foot. Be sure to have something to hold onto if you need it, such as a sink, counter or sturdy chair. Talk on the phone standing with one foot in front of the other.

Walk heel to toe across the room and back. Squat down to pick up something rather than bending over.

Stand up and sit down without using your hands.

Top-ranked Little Dutch overpower Cardinals

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PELLA — Newton High’s Cardinals didn’t give Class 3A top-ranked Pella’s Little Dutch any gifts Friday night.

Coming off a five-turnover loss to Ballard, the Cardinals did not have a turnover against the Little Dutch.

The Cardinals weren’t able to slow down the potent offense of the Little Dutch, losing 47-7, but they did what they wanted to do — compete and improve.

“I’m very proud of the way our guys fought. We focused all week on being competitive with Pella, and we were,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said. “Our run defense against Nathan Henry was outstanding.”

Henry, Pella’s senior running back, scored twice in the first quarter on runs of 16 yards and 3 yards. There were times when the Cardinal defense shut down one of the top running backs in the state. On back-to-back plays Duncan Lee and Andrew Weiland, both seniors, caught Henry in the Little Dutch backfield for losses.

“When you stack the box like that, Noah (Clayberg, Pella’s senior quarterback) is going to recognize it. They have four outstanding receivers and they had to throw the ball to move it and score,” Ergenbright said. “Noah can beat you throwing the ball and with his legs.”

Newton trailed 41-0 at halftime, which triggered the continuous running clock in the second half per 35-point margin rule. Pella scored a touchdown in the third quarter to go up 47-0.

The Cardinals kept battling.

Newton set up shop on its 28-yard line and drove 68 yards behind the running of seniors Joseph Banfield and Dalton Nevels. Banfield made

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Not even a stiffarm from Pella senior running back Nathan Henry (25) can shake Newton High senior Andrew Weiland on this play Friday night at Pella. Weiland tackled Henry for a 4-yard loss. Henry scored twice in leading Class 3A top-ranked and undefeated Pella to a 47-7 win over the winless Cardinals.

two big runs on fourth downs to keep the drive alive — the second one put the Cardinals at the Pella 10-yard line.

The Little Dutch defense stiffened. Banfield pushed hard on fourth-and-goal at the five, but was tackled at the 3-yard line.

Newton’s defense kept the Little Dutch pinned deep and forced a punt, which was partially blocked. The Cardinals took possession of the football at the Pella 29-yard line

with four minutes remaining in the game.

Banfield ripped off a 12yard gain, and Nevels added three more. Banfield busted loose to the 3-yard line. Banfield lost a yard on first down, gained three on the next run and it set up a third-and-goal at the Pella 1-yard line with the clock running.

Banfield finished the drive with a 1-yard run into the end zone with 1:07 left. Josh Gulling kicked the extra point.

“We had a couple of series where we ran downhill on them. They are so active and athletic on defense,” Ergenbright said. “They are an elite team on both sides of the football.”

Newton’s first three possessions of the game were each three plays and a punt.

The Cardinals blocked an extra-point kick and faced a 20-0 deficit with 48 seconds remaining in the first quarter.

On the ensuing kickoff,

Nevels returned the football to the Newton 46-yard line. The Cardinals moved the football to the Pella 33.

They decided to go for it on a fourth-and-10 and quarterback Garrett Sturtz was sacked for a loss of six yards.

Also in the second quarter, Newton had offensive possessions of five plays, and three plays — each ended in a punt.

CMB volleyball finishes 0-4 at BCLUW tourney

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News CONRAD — Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter’s volleyball team traveled to the BCLUW Tournament Saturday and returned home with an 0-4 mark.

The Raiders lost in straight sets to North Fayette Valley, host BCLUW and North Tama and was defeated in three sets by East Marshall.

“It was a tough day for CMB volleyball,” CMB coach Scott Ranck said. “We did not play well.

We played decent competition but competition we could beat. We just didn’t compete well and made too many errors.”

North Fayette Valley defeated CMB 21-14, 22-20. The Raiders (10-12) were led by Kathleen Baldwin, who finished with four kills, eight assists and 13 digs. Bekah Pearson also had four kills. Payge Jurgens added three kills and Sailor Hinegardner collected 10 digs and was 14-of-16 in serves.

BCLUW (23-8) cruised to a 2114, 21-9 victory over CMB. Hinegardner had eight digs, Baldwin added eight assists. Jurgens, Pearson and Mikayla Eslinger each had two kills.

North Tama had no trouble with the Raiders. The Redhawks downed CMB 21-10, 21-12.

Baldwin had 10 assists and seven digs, while Eslinger, Jurgens and

Jordynn Wesselink all had four kills.

Hinegardner and Toni Spencer each had six digs.

East Marshall (8-17) needed three sets, but the Mustangs won 25-21, 18-25, 15-8.

Jurgens led the way with five kills and three aces. She was 13-for-13 in serves. Pearson had four kills. Mary Schabilion contributed three kills and five digs. Baldwin had a double-double with 12 assists and 16 digs.

Hinegardner finished with 10 digs, while Wesselink had 10 digs, two kills and two aces. The Raiders were 52-of-55 in serves with seven aces.

Bridget Hurley missed most of the day as she re-injured her shoulder when a ball from the other court hit her while she was on the bench.

She played in the first set of the day but did not return.

“We are still trying to figure out who our new self is, as well as our new roles, and continue to adjust and find the confidence needed to put the best team we can on the court,” Ranck said.

CMB returns to action at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday when it heads to Alleman to face North Polk. That match is a Class 3A regional playoff preview.

Mustang football keeps humming along, dominates winless Clarke

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News OSCEOLA — Logan Gilman threw for 362 yards and two scores, Logan Littrell rushed for 97 yards and two scores and Tyler Dredge had a 69-yard touchdown reception during the Mustangs’ 42-6 win over Clarke in Class 2A District 7 action on Friday.

PCM’s defense had two interceptions and two fumble recoveries. Dredge had one of each as he finished with five catches for 131 yards on offense.

Luke Greiner tallied seven catches for 105 yards and a Dredge score. Noah Clark hauled in four passes for 88 yards. Wes Cummings had 57 rushing yards and two scores.

The Mustangs, who have won six straight games, led 14-0 after one quarter and 28-6 at halftime.

Greiner Littrell and Cummings each had touchdown runs in the first quarter. Littrell added his second score in the second and Gilman’s first touchdown pass went to Greiner in the second quarter.

Cummings made it 35-6 after three quarters with a 2-yard touchdown run. Gilman hooked up with Dredge on a 69-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter to cap the scoring.

Gilman finished 19-for-26 through the air. Littrell had two

catches for 39 yards to go with his 97 rushing yards. Clayton Welch ran for 31 yards on four carries.

The Mustang defense was led by Nathan Trausch, who finished with six tackles and a sack.

PCM recorded four sacks on the night — one each by Welch, Leevi Telfer and Ethan Thomas.

Telfer and Colton Warrick each had 4.5 tackles, while Reid Jenkins and Dredge each recovered a fumble.

Chase Wilkie was 6-for-6 in PATs and six of his seven kickoffs were touchbacks.

Clarke (0-7, 0-5) was defeated for the 24th straight time.

PCM (6-1, 4-0) travels to topranked Albia Friday for a chance at the District 7 championship. Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m.

The Mustangs host playoff contender North Polk in Week 9, but a win over the Blue Demons would go a long way in claiming the district title.

PCM and Albia sit at 4-0 in district play, while North Polk is 3-1.

All three teams locked up postseason berths after wins on Friday. CMB is 2-2 in district play.

North Polk (4-3) controls its own destiny for the No. 2 seed as it hosts CMB (5-2) Friday and travels to PCM in Week 9.

Myers hooked up with Colin Lourens for three scores and Jacob Lietz for two touchdowns. Blake Summy and Gabe Simpson each hauled in one touchdown pass. Myers ran in a touchdown and Jacob Buehrer had a touchdown run.

The Tigerhawks led 21-0 after one quarter. Myers began the scoring with a 72-yard touchdown strike to Summy, who finished with 101 yards on three catches.

It was 14-0 following Myers’ 70-yard touchdown pass to Summy, who caught two passes for 81 yards.

The lead grew to 21-0 when Myers found Lietz on a 25-yard touchdown pass play. Myers began the second half with an 11-yard touchdown run and then Myers

answered Iowa Valley’s first score with back-toback touchdown passes to Lourens for 36 and 20 yards, respectively.

The Tigerhawks scored three touchdowns in the final 5:36 of the half. Lourens’ second touchdown catch came with 27 seconds left.

On the final play of the first half, Myers hooked up with Lourens, who then pitched it to Lietz for an 88-yard touchdown play.

S​ hort-handed CMB can’t keep up with No. 1 Albia

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s football team was without seven starters and topranked Albia t o o k full advantage Friday night, defeating the Gunderson Raiders 63-6 in Class 2A District 7 play.

CMB’s only touchdown came on a Hunter Gunderson 47-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.

Albia got 171 rushing yards and four touchdowns from allstater Carter Isley.

Isley had three interceptions on defense as

the top-ranked Blue Demons stayed unbeaten.

Albia led 42-0 at halftime, and it was 56-0 after three quarters.

CMB’s Brady Stover, Brad Ritter and Hunter McWhirter missed the game due to injuries, and the four players who were suspended earlier this season missed their third straight game.

Nate Bishop finished 14-of-29 through the air for 89 yards, while Braydon Aker completed 5-of-7 for 58 yards. CMB threw three interceptions on the night.

Gunderson’s 47-yard touchdown run was his only carry of the game, but he led the rushing attack. Gunderson had seven catches for 89 yards.

RAIDERS | 3B

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Oct. 12, 2015 | 3B Sports COLLEGE Iowa climbs to No. 17 after holding off Illinois IOWA CITY (AP) — With its unbeaten season in peril, Iowa put the ball in Jordan Canzeri’s hands.

Canzeri delivered with one of the best days a Hawkeye has ever had, helping his team hold off a furious challenge from Illinois.

Canzeri ran for 256 yards on a school-record 43 carries — including 11 straight on a crucial fourth-quarter drive — and No. 22 Iowa beat Illini 29-20 on Saturday for its sixth straight win.

“I thought what he did was really special,” said coach Kirk Ferentz, who is 6-0 for just the second time in 17 seasons at Iowa. “Certainly in the fourth quarter. That was just a special effort.”

C.J. Beathard had 200 yards passing and two touchdown for the Hawkeyes (6-0, 2-0 Big Ten). They’ve already taken down four Power Five opponents heading into next week’s West division game against No. 13 Northwestern.

Canzeri’s 75-yard touchdown run put Iowa ahead 2313 late in the third quarter.

Canzeri

Beathard

Geronimo Allison pulled Illinois back within three on a 53-yard touchdown reception, but freshman Ke’Shawn Vaughn’s fumble with 3:09 left doomed the Illini.

Wes Lunt threw for 317 yards and a touchdown and Allison had 148 yards receiving for Illinois (4-2, 1-1).

“Sometimes we’re going to have a little bit of stage fright at times because it’s a big stage, but you look at Wes and Geronimo and what they did out there,” interim Illinois coach Bill Cubit said. “Defensively, I saw a lot of good things from those guys.”

Canzeri gave the reeling Hawks some breathing room with the longest run of his

career. Canzeri cut back, hit a hole and went essentially untouched to put Iowa back in front 23-13.

Allison, who was picked off on a double-reverse pass earlier in the second half, took it away with his long touchdown grab with 10:13 left.

But Iowa responded by handing off to Canzeri nearly a dozen times, setting up Marshall Koehn’s 34-yard field goal and a 26-20 lead with 3:20 left.

“It was just the adrenaline going. I knew I needed to do something for my team, just needed to fight and continue to push and make those plays,” said Canzeri, whose 256 yards were the third-most in Iowa history.

Illinois had won twice already in 2015 with fourth-quarter comebacks.

But Vaughn’s fumble, which came on the first play following Koehn’s field goal, led to another Koehn field goal, this time from 40 yards with 2:11 left, to make it 29-20.

Vaughn, in for the injured Josh Ferguson, rushed for 67

me with the idea,” Parkinson said. “He thought it would be really cool to put all the brothers on the field at the same time. It is cool because it won’t ever happen again.

“This wasn’t a game for us to goof around in, but we had a chance to have some fun and get those guys on the field and make a memory. We have that chance again.”

The other situation where Parkinson and the Hawks were able to make a memory happened after GMG was called for four unsportsmanlike penalties following a Lynnville-Sully touchdown.

The penalties, which resulted in GMG coach Mike Spurlin’s ejection, put the ball on GMG 8-yard line for the ensuing kickoff.

That’s when Parkinson inserted freshman Dane Fuchs, an offensive and defensive lineman, into the game for the kickoff.

He took advantage of his one-time opportunity and booted the ball through the uprights.

“He’ll walk away from

this game and always remember that,” Parkinson said.

Lynnville-Sully held the Wolverines to negative four yards rushing on 31 attempts.

Jacob Burt was 5-of22 through the air for 67 yards.

The Hawks look for their fourth win in five games when they travel to North Mahaska (2-5, 1-4) on Friday.

Texas Tech beats Iowa State

Continued from Page 1B on the kickoff following Ehresman’s first touchdown of the game.

Jesse Van Wyk had two sacks and Jackson Hardin had one.

“The biggest thing about this game is to have fun,” Parkinson said.

“There is a lot of things being said about football right now, but no one is talking about the fun the kids have and the bond they have with each other.”

The Hawks had a oneplay scoring drive, three two-play scoring drives and returned three punts for touchdowns.

Their longest scoring drives of the game were 59 and 57 yards.

The early advantage allowed the Hawks to have a little fun and make a few memories.

The Hawks were able to run two different plays where 10 of the 11 players on the field had a brother on the field with them.

The first play resulted in a long run by Squires that got called back because of a penalty.

The second play came on a two-point conversion try. The ball was snapped over Ehresman’s head, but the senior tailback still had no trouble converting despite recovering the ball at the 20-yard line.

“We set that up so we can play with our brothers because we don’t get to most of the time,” Ehresman said. “It was our opportunity to play with them and have some fun.”

Sage’s Ehresman’s younger brother Drake was on the field with him and Evan Squires’ brother Trevor also was included.

The other brothers involved in the two plays were Caden and Carsen Dunsbergen, Jackson and Jayson Hardin, Caleb and Bryson Barnett and Isaac, Elijah and Abram Collins.

“Isaac Collins came to

yards on 19 carries.

“You just got to keep this thing positive. If you get down on the kid at that point there you end up losing them,” Cubit said.

The Hawkeyes could have made it easier on themselves if they hadn’t come away with just three points on two of their red zone trips in the first half.

Still, Iowa led 16-7 at the break thanks in part to a 17yard touchdown catch from Canzeri.

Canzeri somehow survived his long afternoon. But Iowa might head to Evanston missing a few more players.

Star defensive end Drew Ott spent the fourth quarter on crutches and with his right knee wrapped. Tackle Ike Boettger went to the locker room with a left ankle injury early in the second half.

Ferentz didn’t have an immediate update on Ott or Boettger after the game.

“It was tough sledding for us,” said Ferentz. “We’ve got some guys nicked up and some guys jumping in.”

ers Ty Montgomery and James Jones. But NFL-record streaks of 587 pass attempts and 49 touchdown passes at home without an interception for Rodgers ended in the first quarter on linebacker James Laurinaitis’ diving pick of a tipped ball for the Rams (2-3).

Rodgers threw another

interception in the second quarter before losing a fumble in the third.

Relentless pressure on quarterback Nick Foles helped keep the Packers (5-0) unbeaten.

Foles threw a career-worst four interceptions, two in the fourth quarter inside the Packers 10.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — Texas Tech coach Kliff Kingsbury was happy with the three interceptions his Red Raiders came up with and how they won on both sides of the ball on third downs in beating Iowa State 66-31 on Saturday.

Texas Tech succeeded on 11 of 15 third downs and stopped Cyclones on 10 of their third-down tries.

“That’s huge,” the third-year coach said. “Between that and the turnover margin that was the difference ... our offense made some plays to stay on the field and then our defense made some to get them off. Gave us some momentum early and were able to kind of run away with it.”

Patrick Mahomes threw for 428 yards and five touchdowns, two to Jakeem Grant, to lead Texas Tech to the Red Raiders’ first Big 12 win.

Grant had a career-high 166 yards on nine catches. He caught touchdown passes of 75 and 37 yards for Texas Tech (4-2, 1-2). It was Grant’s third 100-plus-yard game this season.

DeAndre Washington had a receiving and a rushing touchdown, while Justin Stockton scored on a 54-yard run.

The Red Raiders intercepted Cyclones quarterback Sam Richardson three times — two by J.J. Gaines — and Texas Tech scored touchdowns off two of them.

Redshirt freshman Mike Warren had his third straight game

Cutler leads Chicago to comeback win over Kansas City KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jay Cutler led the Bears to a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns, the second an alert toss to Matt Forte with 18 seconds left.

Kansas City lost star running back Jamaal Charles to a potentially season-ending right knee injury.

Chicago (2-3) trailed 17-3 early in the third quarter when Charles went down while trying to make a cut. The preliminary diagnosis was a torn ACL and Charles will have an MRI exam Monday.

The Bears quickly seized the momentum.

After Robbie Gould’s second field goal got them going, Cutler led an 88yard drive that he capped with a 22-yard strike to Marquess Wilson with 3:05 left.

of more than 100 yards for the Cyclones (2-3, 1-1), finishing with a career-high 245 yards on 23 carries.

Warren said hopes to continue to contribute as he did Saturday “If they set the Warren bar high, it’s up to me to reach that, and I feel like this game truly showed that we as an offense, we can run the ball,” he said. “We’ve just got to keep going up from there.”

Iowa State quarterback Sam Richardson completed 10 of 21 for 139 yards and the three interceptions. He had three coming into the game.

Joshua Thomas scored two rushing touchdowns for the Cyclones, each from a yard out.

Texas Tech’s 776 total yards was a school record.

Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said Texas Tech’s fast offense was relentless.

“A lot of things were pivotal, starting out with the interception early that didn’t allow us to have a fast start and then several scrambles that, when it comes down to it, there’s not much excuse for,” he said.

Mahomes completed 33 of 46 passes with no interceptions. He was sacked for only the second time this season when he was called for intentional grounding.

Raiders Continued from Page 2B Senior Charles Robertson led the defense with six tackles, while Gunderson had five tackles.

Isley’s first touchdown covered 40 yards.

He made it 14-0 with a 4-yard touchdown run and 22-0 with an 18-yard scoring run. His fourth touchdown run was a 23-yarder late in the second quarter.

Albia (7-0, 4-0) piled up 435 total yards in 35 plays and held the Raiders to 240 yards in 66 plays.

CMB (5-2, 2-2) will try to get back on track Friday when it heads to Alleman to face district rival North Polk.

The game will have playoff implications as the Comets are 3-1 in district play following their 48-0 victory over Davis County on Friday.

Present were Lee Zmolek, Bret Doerring and L.D. Absent: Maureen Palmer.

Lockwood Also present was Marty Hoffert and Toni Werden.

Bret Doerring was appointed Chairman Pro Tem. The Board approved the July Board Minutes by consent.

Bret Doerring moved to approve the July Financials as presented.

Lee Zmolek seconded the motion.

Motion Approved The manager and Office Manager Toni Werden presented a review of the current deposit policy and deposit amounts. The current policy for rental and lease properties is $40.00 for residential and $65 for commercial.

This policy has been in place for over 30 years.

Because we have more delinquent bills not paid for rental properties and lien waivers being filed so that we cannot collect if renter leaves owing bill, a change in policy is recommended. The new policy would be $65 for commercial properties, $65 for rental properties where a lien waiver has not been filed and $125 for rental property where lien waivers have been filed. A survey of deposit policy in other communities was taken and the average deposit on residential rental properties is $109.

Lee Zmolek moved to increase deposits on water to: $65 for commercial $65 for residential rental without lien waiver $125 for residential rental with lien waiver Bret Doerring seconded the motion.

Motion Approved Marty Hoffert presented the Water Treatment and Distribution report. The static well water level for August is 21'6”. Water loss for June is 11%. Even though retainage has been paid on Flood Mitigation project, there are still items on check list that have not been taken care of by contractor.

There is two year warranty on Distribution crew is project. working on replacing water main at S. 12th Ave. W. and Hwy 14.

The manager presented a chart showing average water loss from 2007 through 2014. The AWWA standard for water loss is 10% or less.

The manager presented an on economic update development.

The meeting was adjourned.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

A friend sees you as someone who can do anything. You’ll start to see yourself that way, too. You’ll vault over problems and leave them far behind you.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). No one is asking you to win the Nobel Prize. Just think about what it is that you do best, and

then do it with all your heart.

Full intention -- that’s the intensity level that can change the world.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Someone is trying to win your heart. You’ll go into this day thinking that life is good, and when your head hits the pillow, you’ll know life is actually phenomenal.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ll express yourself more fully when you’re with someone who really understands you. If you don’t feel like you know such a person, keep casually reaching out. This is a lucky time for finding friends.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

All you can do is all you can

do. When you reach that point, you’ll be satisfied that you tried your hardest, no matter what the outcome is. But you haven’t reached it yet -- so keep going.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). You weren’t born with the attitude that makes you a success. You have to choose it and then get up the next day and choose it again.

Soon the choice becomes a habit.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There is more than one way to cut off communication with someone. Running the other direction is one way, and running toward it is another way.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You will make it your mission to encourage others, and you will be uplifted in return. It’s a fair exchange, though if you’re deep enough into this emotional generosity, the very idea of “exchange” will be far behind you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

As all the professional card players know, it’s foolish to wish for a lovely hand. All the fun is in playing the hand you’ve got. Yours is pretty good, by the way.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Sophomore Garrett Sturtz punts the football with Newton High teammate Duncan Lee (40) keeping a Pella defender blocked during Friday’s non-district contest against the No. 1 ranked team in Class 3A at Pella. Sturtz pulls double duty for the Cardinals as punter and starting quarterback. He punted five times against Pella, averaging 27 yards a punt.

“I was impressed with the way our kids stopped Nathan Henry. There was not a lot of room for him to run,” Ergenbright said. “We have not stopped the run lately, so when we got a few of our guys back in there, we did a better job defensively. Now they know they can stop a good back. We need to take that to Bondurant-Farrar with us

next week.”

Banfield finished with 116 yards on 28 carries. Sturtz only attempted one pass, and it was incomplete. Sturtz was busy punting five times for Newton for 133 yards, which was a 27-yard average.

Astros, Blue Jays win in ALDS Game 3s

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High freshman Benjamin Leal (27) runs for a first down in the fourth quarter of Friday’s game at Pella. The Cardinal freshmen lost 29-7. They trailed Pella 29-0 at halftime. Newton’s lone score was a touchdown by Luke Maharry, who also kicked the extra point, in the second half. The freshmen play at Bondurant-Fararr Friday.

HOUSTON, Texas (AP) — Dallas Keuchel remained perfect at home with seven gutsy innings and Chris Carter homered Sunday, leading the Houston Astros to a 4-2 win over the Royals to take a 2-1 edge in the American League Division Series.

The Astros could wrap up the best-offive matchup with a win over the defending AL champions in Game 4 on Monday.

“You got to go out and win tomorrow,” manager Ned Yost said. “So, you just don’t have much leeway now, but our guys, I think, are up to the task and tomorrow will be an exciting day.”

Luke Gregerson gave up a leadoff homer in the ninth to Alex Gordon before finishing off the As-

tros first playoff game in Houston in 10 years with a four-out save.

Lorenzo Cain hit a solo homer in the fourth for the Royals, who were 0 for 7 with runners in scoring position and left 10 on base.

Houston rookie Lance McCullers (6-7, 3.22) opposes Yordano Ventura (13-8, 4.08) in Game 4.

Blue Jays 5, Rangers 1 ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Troy Tulowitzki drove in four runs, including a threerun homer for his first hit this postseason, and the Toronto Blue Jays avoided elimination in the AL Division Series with a 5-1 win over the Texas Rangers in Game 3 on Sunday night.

The Blue Jays cut their deficit to 2-1 in the best-of-five matchup.

Logano races into third round of NASCAR playoffs with Charlotte win CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Joey Logano earned a critical win at Charlotte Motor Speedway to move into the third round of NASCAR’s playoffs on a sloppy day for some of the biggest contenders in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Logano raced to his fourth victory of the season and his first career win at Charlotte.

It came in the opening race of the second round of the Chase and earned him the automatic berth into the next round.

Logano made it to the finale last season, and like almost all of the 12 remaining drivers in the Chase, worried that this

second round was the most daunting. The series races next week at Kansas and then four drivers will be eliminated Oct.25 at Talladega.

“It helps us Logano sleep here the next couple of weeks,” the Team Penske driver said. “This helps us recharge our batteries and get ready for the next round.”

Kevin Harvick, who routed the field last week at Dover to keep his title defense intact,

finished second for the 11th time this season. He has been second to Logano three times, but considered it almost a victory because he felt the reigning Sprint Cup champions had struggled most of the weekend.

“If those are the off days, we’ll be just fine,” Harvick said.

Martin Truex Jr. finished third — his career-best eighth top-five of the season — but wasn’t breathing any easier about his Chase hopes.

“Logano is the only one who is going to sleep the next few weeks,” Truex said. “We still think we need to win next week.”

The top six finishers were Chase drivers as Denny Hamlin finished fourth and was followed by Kurt Busch and Carl Edwards.

Austin Dillon, who is not racing for the title, was seventh. Jeff Gordon, making the final start of his career at Charlotte, struggled for the first half of the race but salvaged an eighth-place finish.

Logano teammate Brad Keselowski staved off a loose wheel over the closing laps as Chase drivers took eight of the top nine spots.

It was a far more difficult day for JGR drivers Matt Kenseth and Kyle Busch, who

started side-by-side on the front row.

Kenseth’s race began to unravel when he missed his pit stall and fell back to 20th on a restart. From there, racing in traffic, he had contact with Ryan Newman that sent him into the wall. It was the first of many brushes with the wall for Kenseth, who also had to serve a penalty for too many crewmen working on his car during one of his stops for repairs.

He was finally put out of his misery when a broken part sent him into the wall — again — and to the garage. He finished 42nd and dropped to last in the Chase field.
