Newton Main Street nets $75K grant

Grant will help fund Hotel Maytag ballroom restoration

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Newton representatives were elated on Monday following the announcement of a $75,000 Main Street challenge grant for the Hotel Maytag renovation, and were also hopeful the project will spur more development.

“The challenge grant is so competitive,” said Andrew Bassman, executive director of Newton Main Street. “Award of the grant confirms what we have known from the start — that this

is a very good project that could have a huge impact on the Main Street District.”

The Iowa Economic Development Authority awarded 14 Main Street Iowa communities a total of $924,000 in grants during a ceremony at the Botanical Center.

Newton’s grant will fund part of the historic rehabilitation of the Hotel Maytag ballroom and also marks the first Main Street grant obtained by Newton. The city became a Main Street Iowa community in February 2014.

Bassman was joined by Newton Mayor Mike Hansen; Sen.

Chaz Allen (D-Newton); Newton Main Street board members Lin Chapé and Rita Reinheimer;Frank Liebl, executive director of Newton Development Corporation; Bryan Friendman, the city’s director of finance and development and Erin Chambers, the city’s director of planning and zoning. Also on hand were Andy Frantz and Carol Bower of Frantz Community Investors.

“We’re extremely excited and pleased to receive the $75,000 grant. It will go a long way toward putting the final pieces to the financing of the project,” Hansen said. “What it means is the Hotel Maytag will anchor the Main Street rehabilitation project throughout the downtown area.”

BALLROOM | 3A

A jury trial began Monday for a Newton Police officer accused of physically assaulting his fiancée.

Dustin S. Hamell, 29, was charged in July following an alleged Hamell altercation in their rural Newton home. Police said he slammed a door on her arm while she was trying to get into their room, and he is also accused of pushing the victim twice.

He is charged with domestic abuse assault.

Hamell, along with his mother and his now former fiancée, took the stand and testified during the first day of proceedings, with Judge Thomas Mott presiding.

Keisha Cretsinger, of the Iowa Attorney General’s Office, argued for the state due to a potential conflict of interest with the Jasper County Attorney’s Office.

Cretsinger opened with a description of the incident that occurred July 29. Cretsinger described an argument between the two parties which resulted in the victim’s arm being slammed in the door as she was attempting to get through to get to her son.

After she was through the doorway, Hamell backed away but the struggle continued with him pushing her to-

ward a dresser before he backed away again, she said.

The defense described the incident in a different light, with defense attorney F. Montgomery Brown claiming she injured herself while barreling through the door.

The victim was the first to take the stand.

She said the day before the incident the couple had been in an argument for about six hours, and although there was no physical contact, he had come toward her but stopped when she asked him to back away. Their arguments were focused on their upcoming wedding and their relationship with his family.

The victim said they had been arguing and she had talked about leaving for about a month before the incident. In an attempt to help the situation, she said she would move out for a week or so, but Hamell said he wanted her to stay.

The situation appeared to escalate starting July 17, according to her testimony, and she said she was concerned someone would take her son. In an argument that occurred at Hamell’s father home on July 27, she said his father stated “you will not take my grandson.”

The day of the incident, the victim arrived home from work at approximately 7:30 a.m.

The couple had been arguing by phone prior to her arrival.

Newton Prairie City, Colfax projects awarded woman sentenced combined $128,000 in REAP grant funds to probation for Rails-to-trails sex abuse

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A Newton woman is sentenced to two years of probation after receiving a 10year suspended sentence on Monday for sexually abusing a teenage boy.

Tori M. Kaiser, 22, who pleaded guilty to third-degree sexual abuse, is also required to register as a sex offender. Kaiser was charged in May after confessing to having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old male victim.

Kaiser Kaiser was allowed by the victim’s father to act as a caretaker, according to a police report. When she was charged she also admitted to providing the victim with alcohol and cigarettes.

She denied giving him marijuana and prescription medication, but admitted that she had allowed him to use both in her apartment.

Kelley reminds Jasper County residents to attend REAP assemblies Newton Daily News State Rep. Dan Kelley (D-Newton) reminded residents of Jasper County that REAP Assemblies begin this fall.

REAP (Resource Enhancement and Protection program) is funded by the state’s Environment First Fund. The fund received $16 million this year to help enhance and protect Iowa’s

natural and cultural resources.

“REAP assemblies are a great opportunity to shape Iowa’s soil, water, and parks,” Kelley said. “I invite the community to discuss

the impact of the program at the local community meeting, as well as tell us what they want for their parks, trails, museums and other amenities.”

Those in Jasper Coun-

ty can attend their REAP Assembly from 6 to 8 p.m.

Nov. 5 at the Bondurant Public Library.

For those wanting more information they can visit www.iowareap.com.

Submitted Photo from the Iowa Dept. of Agriculture A farm located northeast of Newton was recognized recently as one of 101 Heritage farms in the state of Iowa.

Three women accepted the certificate on behalf of the farm’s owner, Marilyn Feldschneider. From the left are Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey, Lu Anne Nicholson, Barbara Fickers, Janet Shepard and Iowa Farm Bureau Federation Vice President Joe Heinrich. There were also 366 Century Farms recognized at this year’s ceremony including five from Jasper County. Heritage farms have been with one family for more than 150 years; Century farms have been with one family for 100 years.

Five century, one heritage farm from county are recognized Farms listed in release from IDALS

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Jerry Damman said bad years and good years on a farm tend to stand out.

Damman, who is 85, talked about some of those good and bad years recently as reflected on his family farm’s recent recognition. Damman’s family farm was recognized as one of five in Jasper County to be recognized at a recent ceremony as a Century farm.

Only one farm in the county, owned by Marilyn Feldschneider, was recognized as a Heritage farm this year. Heritage farms have been with one family for more than 150 years; Century farms have been with one family for 100 years.

“I think 1936 was awfully dry,” Damman said. “And 1956 was dry, too. But you also remember the good years.”

Damman recalled a time in 1934 when a tornado narrowly missed his family’s farm, located on Cone Street, between North 63rd Street East and North 75th Street East. He said one of the keys to keeping a family farm going for many decades is to maintain a balanced budget and have some money saved in the bank.

“People ought to do more of that these days,” Damman said.

“It’s all got to balance out.”

Damman’s family, along with the four other Century farm families from the county and the Feldschneider farm, were honored at a ceremony that included Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey and Iowa Farm Bureau Federation Vice President Joe Heinrich.

Charlotte, Jeff and Dwight Damman are listed alongside Jerry as farming members of the Damman family. The other county Century families are Danny Dean Heaberlin and Judy Faye (Baldwin) Heaberlin of Newton; Daryl D. & Linda B.Menninga of Reasnor; Roger and Jean Van Der Kamp of Sully and Henry John Veldhuizen of Lynnville.

Century Farm Award photos can be viewed at bit.ly/1WY6FHo. Heritage Farm Award photos can be viewed at bit.ly/1N9rTgS. To qualify, a family must have owned at least 40 acres for 100 years or more in the case of Century Farms, and 150 years or more for a Heritage Farm. This year, there were 366 Century Farms and 101 Heritage Farms were recognized.

“Being able to recognize these farm families is one of

my favorite days of the year,” Northey said. “This award is a tremendous celebration of the families who have cared for the land and raised the crops and livestock that helped build our state and feed the world.

To own a farm for 100 or 150 years is a testament to the values of land stewardship, hard work, patience, dedication and perseverance that are found in Iowa’s farm families.”

The Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship has partnered with the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation since 1976 to recognize the Heritage and Century families.

Including this year’s recipients, more than 18,600 farms from across the state have been recognized.

The Heritage Farm program was started in 2006 — on the 30th anniversary of the Century Farm program — and the 2015 honorees bring the total to 837 farms recognized over the past 10 years.

“The program acknowledges the deep roots of Iowa agriculture and the special bond that exists between Iowa families and the land they farm,” Northey said.

Research beefing up steaks, hamburgers with healthy omega-3s WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Health-conscious consumers might be persuaded to eat more beef if it was fortified with heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids naturally found in salmon and walnuts, according to researchers and some ranchers who are feeding cattle flaxseed — even marine algae — with an eye to offering another wholesome dinner choice.

People have long been told they can decrease their risk of heart disease by eating more omega-3 fatty acids, the kind salmon get from algae.

It inspired researchers at Kansas State University: Could the steaks and hamburgers from cattle fattened on algae pass on those healthy fats?

Separately, some Texas grocery stores are selling beef products fortified with omega-3 through flaxseed, a trial run so successful that orders have quadrupled since it began seven months ago. And a nationwide study shows consumers would be willing to pay $1.85 a pound more for

enriched steaks and 79 cents a pound more for enhanced ground beef, Kansas State agricultural economist Sean Fox said.

After putting a pot roast into her shopping basket at a Wichita grocery store, 31-year-old Lindsey Goodwin considered that very question. “Probably, it kind of depends on the price,” she said.

But Terry Cooper, 36, was skeptical, adding that the university might have an “uphill battle” persuading people to eat more beef. “The reality is we all eat more junk food ... but we think we should eat healthy,” Cooper said.

Algae contains the omega-3 type fatty acids known as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which nutrition experts say people should consume at least 250 mg per day of both because of their protective effects on the heart; DHA is also associated with infant brain development.

A third omega-3 type is alpha-linoleic acid (ALA), which is abundant in flaxseed.

Ballroom Continued from Page 1A Cedar Rapids-based Frantz Community Investors announced in March plans to renovate the former Hotel Maytag in Newton. The $10 million project is expected not only to restore the ballroom, but also add 35 market-rate apartments, commercial space and an upscale restaurant to the current Midtown building.

Andy Frantz, vice president of operations for FCI, said the grant is one of many positive steps happening with the project. Frantz said on Tuesday that FCI has secured state and federal tax credits toward the project. While the building sale has been delayed, mostly due to a delay with an appraisal, he expects the renovation to begin moving quickly after financing is complete.

“You don’t make historic restoration projects happen without grants

Hamell Continued from Page 1A At their home, Hamell went into the bedroom, and the victim followed him, she said.

He asked what she was doing and she told him she was getting their son.

That is when he shut the door on her and said “No, you’re not.”

After getting their son, she packed up some belongings and, before leaving, went back upstairs, as Hamell was still swearing at her, according to her testimony.

They argued more, and then she left.

While on the road, she phoned her mother and sister about daycare concerns, then called the police about 45 minutes later. She and their son are currently living at her parents’ house in northeast Iowa.

Jasper County Museum Photo The historic Hotel Maytag ballroom, shown here circa 1970, is expected to be restored to its former glory days as part of a $10 million historic renovation. Newton Main Street was awarded a $75,000 Main Street Iowa Challenge grant on Monday to fund part of the ballroom restoration.

like this,” Frantz said. “It really is a collaborative effort and the support from everyone involved and the City of Newton has been amazing.”

Carol Bower, a historic preservation specialist with Frantz Community Investors, said the ballroom is a very important room for the public.

“Because the city really has no space for large events this helps meet a need with a ballroom with a capacity of 400 that divides into three sections for weddings and other events,” Bower said. “We wanted to be sure to restore it back to the way it was. It will be a lot of work, but it’s a

wonderful space that will be important to the community.”

The Hotel Maytag opened for business in December 1926. The ballroom, in its early years, was a center of activity for most social events. It has been well documented that numerous weddings and social

The defense brought up multiple occasions the victim allegedly threatened to call the police on Hamell, claiming she knew it would cause him trouble.

However, the victim told the court, she warned Hamell she would call the police after she had called him three times with no answer after regular interaction. She did eventually contact the acting chief about what her rights were, since she lived in a house that Hamell owned.

Issues began to come to a head after an alleged incident at Hamell’s father’s house in which an argument occurred between the victim, Hamell, his father and his father’s friend. It resulted in the victim taking her engagement ring off and dropping it with Hamell and leaving the residence.

Hamell’s mother, Maria Parker took the stand and spoke about her son’s background and interactions she had with the couple. Parker said on July 20 she received a phone call from the victim about moving the venue of the wedding, and prior to that conversation she did not know of any problems the couple was having.

Hamell was the final witness to take the stand, recounting his days in high school and his lifelong aspiration to become a police officer and follow in his father’s footsteps. He explained how he and his former finacée had met on the website match.com and eventually moved in together before having their son in February.

His description of the events differed from the victim’s, in that he said they had been arguing,

but he did not try to keep her out of the room. He said he was just closing the door and she pushed her way past him and flung the door open. The only physical contact came with her pushing through and he did not intend to make contact with her, he said.

Hamell then began recording the incident on his phone. His attorney noted the victim never brought up any contact that Hamell had made with her. Hamell said he began recording their arguments because whenever she didn’t get what she wanted, she would threaten to call 911. He wanted to have recorded evidence in case she tried to use it against him.

Brown asked when Hamell started to notice unhealthy behavior from his fiancée, to which he referenced an incident in which she mentioned

events took place in the Maytag ballroom.

Over the years, the hotel was converted into apartments and the ballroom was converted into office space. The terrazzo floors and ballroom features are still visible in some areas of the offices. Developers plan to remove the offices so the ballroom can be restored, with about $450,000 dedicated to the ballroom restoration itself. With a capacity to hold 400 people, the ballroom is expected to fulfill a need for an events center to serve the public and surrounding areas. Meanwhile, it will bring more people to the downtown historic district.

The unique features of the ballroom such as the terrazzo floors, cornices, lightwell and skylight will all be restored so the ballroom can serve its original purpose following state and federal guidelines for historic restoration.

The matching chal-

lenge grants are administered through the IEDA’s Downtown Resource Center and Main Street Iowa programs.

The funds are made available through an appropriation from the Iowa Legislature.

Since the first appropriation in 2002 through 2014, nearly $6 million in state and federal funds have leveraged more than $37 million of private reinvestment into 110 projects in 43 Main Street Iowa commercial districts across the state.

“It’s really a great thing for us. It’s a really a welcome to Newton to the Frantz Community and a way for us to build bridges with them,” said Rita Reinheimer, Newton Main Street board member and chair of the design committee.

“I’m really hoping this is the catalyst that starts some more development around town.”

a terrorist attack and a medical issue with their son. She said she wanted to cancel the wedding on 20 or 30 occasions, but he told her he wanted to work it out, to be with her and for their son to have a full family, according to his testimony.

“She could have left whenever she wanted,” Hamell said.

Cretsinger commented there were only portions of the arguments recorded, only showing part of what had taken place. Hamell said he recorded when he was able, which often included times when she was upset.

Closing statements are scheduled for Tues-

day morning.

Hamell has been an officer with the Newton Police Department for three years and is paid an annual salary of $54,732. The Newton Police Department was made aware of the criminal case July 29 after notification from the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office. He remains on paid leave and an internal investigation is in progress, Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess said.

If convicted, Hamell faces a maximum punishment of up to one year in jail and a $1,500 fine.

Keeping Me on My Toes

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Oct. 13, 2015

This past weekend my family went on a little road trip to the Ozarks for my cousin’s wedding. I began preparing for the trip a few weeks ago, because as a child I remember it taking at least eight hours to get from our house to theirs.

The girls, for the most part, do pretty well in the car. They don’t bother each other too much and seem to stay pretty entertained. To help with that, I decided to buy a couple of DVD players to make the trip seem a little shorter.

I also let the girls pick out a couple of new DVDs to watch to help catch their attention from old ones they’ve seen several times. As a way to keep my husband and I sane, I also purchased new

Road tripping

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

“Frozen” headphones for the girls, which they love, and we love, too.

We set out from the house at about 7 a.m. on Saturday hoping to get there by 1 p.m.

My dad was riding along with us because my mom had already gone down to help with wedding preparations.

After picking up my dad, we, of course, stopped at Casey’s, made a brief stop back at home for a few forgotten items, and were then on the road. At 9 a.m., we were able to get the Iowa pregame show on WHO radio which helped pass the time as we anticipated the beginning of the game.

The girls had to take regular potty breaks and had many refills of juice and milk along

with multiple snacks to keep them busy. Because my dad was with us, I was in the very back of the car, which wasn’t so bad, except when I had to get out.

In order to get out, I had to fold down the seat next to me and climb out the back of the SUV. I’m sure I was a sight to be seen trying to twist and turn until I landed on ground.

As we were making our way, we started to lose the radio station, which is expected but still terrible because we couldn’t get the game. In a last ditch effort, I tried to use my ESPN app to at least get audio, but because at some time they picked up DirecTV as a partner, we could stream the game live.

It’s funny how the girls were happy sitting and coloring and watching their videos while their parents and grandparent were happy sitting and watching and listening to a football game in the car.

We made it to the hotel in record time, thanks to so many new four lane roads, and were able to catch the second half on a little larger screen than my phone. The girls did an amazing job both on the way there and on the way home, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed that road trips will be a fun, family experience we can have many times in the future.

Letter to the Editor

Addressing debt must be a priority Rep. Dan Kelley Newton Now that the Democratic candidates’ are finally occurring, many Americans will be hearing candidates state their stances on a variety of issues for the first time. It is vastly important that one topic makes its way into the debates: our nation’s burgeoning debt.

The debt is one of the biggest

threats facing our country today.

If we continue down this unsustainable path, an extremely high portion of the federal budget will be spent financing today’s spending and the promises of yesterday. We must make addressing our debt a priority so that we can ensure investments in the future, and our nation can continue to invest in people, education, technology, and research.

This is why I have joined First Budget, an initiative raising awareness of the dangers

posed by the nation’s unsustainable budget policies. We have not yet heard the candidates address this issue in a debate yet, and the Democratic candidates now have the opportunity to do so.

It is time that candidates begin treating this like the major issue that it is.

Solutions this problem must be discussed during the debates.

Too much will be lost by ignoring our debt, and that simply cannot be allowed.

A perfect portrait of corporate crime

By Jim Hightower If a picture is worth 1,000 words, here’s one worth a thousand times that.

It’s a shot of three Volkswagen board members, gathered for a press conference to announce the resignation of Martin Winterkorn. VW’s disgraced CEO was forced out after the auto giant was Hightower busted for rigging its supposedly eco-friendly diesel cars with secret software. That dirty tricky let the vehicles spew up to 40 times more toxic pollutants into the air than allowed by law.

In the picture, the lead-faced

VW spokesman looked like he was gagging, as though he’d just swallowed a live toad. One grim-looking fellow board member was glaring in ill-disguised disgust, while the other nervously looked straight into the camera, as if pleading: “Please tell me this isn’t happening, and please, please keep me out of the picture.”

Getty It’s a perfect portrait of a shameful corporate crime, with these highly paid overseers essentially confessing that businesses don’t commit crimes — their executives do.

Yet the three board members still played the corporate game, referring to Volkswagen’s deliberate deception of millions of car buyers as “irregularities” and suggesting that some mysterious villains had installed the malicious software without the top bosses knowing it.

Horsefeathers. Eleven million VWs and Audis were tampered with in the past six years. Either these “overseers” knew what was going on, or they’ve been derelict in their sworn duty to prevent corporate abuse.

Volkswagen has long been known for strict, top-down decision making, with even minor matters requiring the OK of its governing officials. The company’s premeditated, systemic betrayal of consumer trust — not to mention its flagrantly illegal poisoning of our air for six years — is hardly a minor matter.

No wonder the photogenic blame-dodgers looked like deer caught in a VW’s headlights.

The thing about America is, anyone can be a hero. It’s like those countries in Africa where o n e d a y , you’re hangi n g around y o u r By Marc Dion starving little village, brushing flies off of your eyes, and then the army comes through and all of a sudden, you’re a soldier.

Here in America, we love soldiers. We hate Muslims, union members, illegal Mexicans, pushing “1” for English, having the Ten Commandments ripped off the wall of the high school gym and “political correctness,” but we love soldiers. They’re all heroes and they’re all “defending our freedoms,” wherever they may be.

That’s why those of us who REALLY love America are thrilled to our patriotic cores every time there’s some sort of public shooting. The twisted bodies of the sometimes underage dead may disgust you America-hating liberals, but we know better.

Here in semi-automatic nation, heroism and the nobility of dying for our rights is no longer restricted to people who have joined the army. It’s no longer restricted to adults either, and there’s no discrimination based on age or gender.

If you’re 6 years old, you can head off to grade school one day, just another purposeless kid who likes pudding, and by the end of the day, you’ll be in a combat situation. You’re a soldier! You’re a hero!

You can innocently go to a movie and, with no warning, some maniac bursts in, starts shooting and turns you

into a soldier! In a real war! All gave some.

Some gave all. You got clipped with an unchewed Raisinet in your mouth.

And you died, not purposelessly in a stupid mall massacre, but rather in the proud and noble struggle to protect our Second Amendment rights.

Every single borderline lunatic in this country has the cherished, God-given right to own more guns than an infantry regiment.

He may be a bag of broken cookies, but, if he can pass the half-serious background check and if his relatives keep their mouths shut, he can buy a garage full of automatic weapons. Remember, he’s a “law-abiding gun owner” until the spiders in his head get loose.

Yup. Freedom isn’t free, as the bumper sticker says. People have to die for freedom.

You have to die for freedom. Your mother has to die for freedom.

Your kid in community college has to die for freedom. Your kid in grade school has to die for freedom. You can’t go to the store for a gallon of ice cream without risking your life for freedom.

It’s a brave damn country, and we’re all soldiers in the war against the Second Amendment, which is threatened every day.

If you don’t die for the Second Amendment, then how are people going to know it works?

Line your kids up, left to right by order of height, even the little one who still sleeps with a pacifier. Tell them they’re soldiers.

Make ‘em salute. Then, send ‘em off to school to die for our rights.

Woman’s hidden HIV status must be brought to light DEAR ABBY: I’m writing regarding the letter from “She’s Killing Them in Indiana” (July 8) and your response to the writer, whose friend is HIV-positive and doesn’t tell her partners her diagnosis. I am a disease intervention specialist (DIS) in Indiana and work specifically with STDs like HIV. In Indiana there is a duty to warn law that requires anyone who is HIV-positive to inform any past or present sexual or needle-sharing partners of her/his HIV status. At the time of diagnosis, all providers inform the patient of this, and DIS’s like me are required to get a signed copy of this law from HIV-positive individuals.

This year there was a large outbreak of HIV in a rural southern area of Indiana. More than 100 new infections occurred within just three short months.

If individuals like this woman do not inform partners, then the risk is high for another outbreak.

The person who wrote you should contact the Indiana State Department of Health’s Recalcitrant Program and inform them of this situation. All information is kept confidential. Counseling could be provided, and then if she continues not informing, legal action could be taken against her. — MELISSA MURAWSKI DEAR MELISSA: Readers were upset about the gravity of that letter.

They felt it was not only a health issue but also one of morality, and the legal issues could land the writer’s friend in serious trouble, including jail. You are right that the person who wrote that letter should contact the appropriate authorities and report her friend’s dangerous and risky behavior.

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I have been together for 10 years. Like all couples do, we’ve had our ups and downs, but we love each other very much. Two months ago, we welcomed our first son into our family; we are overjoyed.

Raising a newborn has its challenges because babies don’t come with an owner’s manual. Our communication has always been good, and we work hard in our relationship to keep it that way. When we disagree, we try not to fight in front of the baby or raise our voices.

But something my wife does bothers me. She talks about me to the baby.

An example: “Apparently you’re too stressful for Daddy right now, but not for me.” I have asked her to please not do it. I understand that he’s only 2 months old and can’t understand her, but I don’t feel disparaging me in front of him is right. Am I wrong? Or am I being overly sensitive? — NEEDS HELP IN NEW YORK DEAR NEEDS HELP: I don’t think you’re being overly sensitive. It is important for an infant’s development that the parents talk to him or her.

While your baby may be too young to understand what’s being said right now, your wife is forming a habit that both of you may regret later. It implies that she is the “good mommy” and you are the “bad daddy” who can’t deal with his son. If this continues, at some point the boy WILL get the message, and it won’t be good for the relationship you have with her or the one you have with your son.

Longtime Iowa House member Drake dies at 81 ATLANTIC — Veteran Iowa legislator Jack Drake has died in a hospital at the age of 81. Marty Rieken of Duhn Funeral Home in Griswold says Drake died of natural causes on Sunday at Cass County Memorial Hospital in Atlantic.

Cedar Falls officer

CEDAR FALLS — A Parkersburg man convicted of assaulting a Cedar Falls police officer has been sentenced to six months in jail. Zachary Lee Church, 28, was sentenced Monday.

Church was arrested on Christmas morning 2013 after officer Robert Anderson found him asleep inside of an idling car and the incident began.

5 Swisher council votes to keep minimum wage at state level

SWISHER — The Swisher City Council has taken its first step toward keeping its minimum wage at the state level. The council voted 3-1 on Monday night to opt out of the county wage hike ordinance and keep the minimum at the state rate of $7.25 an hour. The council will need to take a second and perhaps a third vote to keep the city in line with the state.

NCSD board to advertise three aging SUVs for sale

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News It took only 47 minutes for the Newton Community School District board of education to get through Monday’s meeting — and part of that time was spent talking about trucks.

At the meeting, held in the Emerson Hough conference room, the board approved proceeding with advertising three aging SUVs, after some discussion about the condition of each one, for a sealed-bid sale. The vehicles are no longer regular parts of the district’s fleet.

After the sealed-bid sale is advertised twice in the Newton Daily News, an Oct. 22 deadline of 11 a.m. will end the bidding period, said transportation supervisor Curt Roorda, who was at Monday’s meeting, Gayle Isaac, board secretary and the district’s director of business services, made one clarification.

“We will come back at a future board meeting with the bids and ask the board’s permission to sell them,” he said.

The vehicles include a 1992 Chevy Suburban that has 233,000 miles, a 1994 Suburban with 242,000 miles, and a 1996 Chevy Tahoe which, despite having only 89,000 miles, has various ongoing mechanical issues.

Board member Josh Cantu asked if an auto-shop program

could benefit from the vehicles, if no bids are received, rather than simply selling the trucks to a salvage yard. Roorda said he can look into that.

Superintendent Bob Callaghan was not at Monday’s meeting. He announced previously that he would be in Grinnell on Monday, where his son, Jack, and other Newton athletes competed in the Little Hawkeye Conference cross country meet. Board members Travis Padget and Andy Elbert were also absent.

Student representatives Jordan Henning and Elizabeth Raper were slated to give reports Monday, but neither could attend the meeting due to other commitments.

The board’s next regular meeting is set for Oct. 26 at Emerson Hough.

In other action Monday, the board: • Approved the Newton High School Future Farmers of America Chapter to attend its organization’s annual national event. The National FFA Convention and Expo is set for Oct. 28-31 in Louisville, Ky., and FFA needs the board’s blessing for the out-ofstate trip.

Board member Donna Cook said she always enjoys hearing from groups that take trips to national or regional events and competitions, and hearing about what students learned.

As the first part of a major remodeling project that will turn the structure into an administration center, the transformer must be moved back further from the building to meet current state code. The Alliant price tag of $10,600 is budgeted as part of the recent overall remodeling approval, Isaac said.

• Agreed to add discussion of the upcoming bond elec-

tion and its preparations to the agenda for a public board work session set for 6:30 p.m. on Monday at Emerson Hough. Other items to be discussed that night include a recently completed teacher survey.

• Approved a renewal of a cooperative student-teaching agreement by and between Iowa State University and Newton schools.

Explosion, small fire does minor damage at Hunt Cleaners

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News An explosion and a small fire at Hunt Cleaners in Newton on Friday caused little damage, and there were no injuries.

Newton Fire Marshal Mike Knoll the Newton Fire Department was dispatched to Hunt Cleaners facility on the corner of East 14th Street North and North 11th Avenue East at 6:23 p.m. Friday after a report of an explosion and black smoke coming from the building. Firefighters found black smoke coming from the

east side of the building and roof vent.

The fire was contained to a room that houses several large commercial drying units. The remainder of the building sustained light smoke damage.

“It appears the fire started inside one of the drying units,” Knoll said.

“Hunt Cleaners cleans industrial rags and something caused a spark inside a dryer that caused the rags to ignite, and causing a small explosion.”

Knoll said there were five employees inside the building at the time of the fire and everyone got out safely,

with no injuries. The only losses due to the fire were rags that were in the dryer and some insulation on the ceiling.

The Baxter Fire Department assisted Newton Fire. The fire was extinguished and all fire units were clear of the scene less than two hours after the first dispatch.

Hunt Cleaners expected to be back up and running on Monday.

The owners didn’t return calls by press time.

Four to hospital in U.S. 65 crash Newton Daily News Three people were injured and four taken to a hospital Saturday after a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of U.S. 65, Iowa Highway 330 and Iowa 117 in northwestern Jasper County, according to the Iowa State Patrol.

A white Nissan Murano SUV, driven by Christopher B. Hart, of Omaha, Neb. was heading from the median to the northbound stretch of U.S. 65 when his vehicle was struck by a maroon Buick Century driven by Candace S. Kriegel Jantzen, 33, of Grinnell, who was headed southbound on Iowa 330, according to an Iowa State Patrol report.

Kriegel Jantizen and her three passengers, Aurora Kriegel Querry, 6, Tracy L. McClure, 51, and Tim Jantzen, 47, all of Tama, were transported to Mercy Hospital in Des Moines. Their conditions were not known at press time.

Hart had minor injuries and declined to be taken by ambulance. He was cited for failing to yield to oncoming traffic; there are stop signs within the median at the intersection.

There are flashing lights on the four-lane U.S. 65/Iowa 330 four-lane roadway that is a part of the well-documented deadly intersection.

Commission votes to move forward with 330/65/117 interchange

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News DECORAH — The Iowa Transportation Commission voted down a motion Tuesday morning to cancel a planned $14.4 million diamond interchange at the intersection of U.S. Highway 330/65 and Iowa 117, which opponents say will oust a popular central Iowa organic farmer from his family’s land.

At a meeting in Decorah’s

Hotel Winneshiek, the commission voted 4-3 against removing the project from the Iowa Department of Transportation’s 5-year Transportation Improvement plan moving the development process forward.

Mingo produce farmer Larry Cleverly testified at Tuesday’s hearing, detailing the affect the loss of nearly 60 acres of his land — including all his certified organic farmland — would have on his business and argued

it would be a detriment to the local economy.

“We would loose all of our certified land, our home and our outbuildings,” Cleverly said. “My family has been good stewards for this farm for 87 years — good citizens of Jasper County for 140 years. There are alternatives that preserve public safety and allow our farm to stay intact.”

The interchange design has been deemed the safest op-

tion by the IDOT to mitigate fatalities at the Highway 330 intersections with U.S. Highway 65/Iowa 117 and Jasper County Road F17. It will connect highways 117 and F17 with Highway 65 North using a bypass, allowing traffic to cross Highway 330 via an overpass.

The one-mile stretch of highway has been the site more than 121 crashes since 2003, resulting in 11 deaths. IDOT officials say these figures make

the intersection one of the most deadly in Iowa. The most recent fatality occurred in March when a Des Moines man was killed in a two-vehicle crash.

IDOT staff at the hearing maintained the diamond interchange is still the safest alternative for the duel intersections, and claimed the “geometry and geography” of the area would INTERSECTION | 8A

REAP Continued from Page 1A The City of Prairie City began partnering with the Iowa Nation Heritage Foundation and Jasper County Conservation last spring to purchase the former rail bed and begin development on a trail system.

According to information released by the city officials last week, Prairie City has received more than $1.4 million in grant money for various projects over the last two years — including a $450,599 federal recreational trail grant for the Rails-to-Trails project in 2014. Prairie City City Administrator Manny Toribio has authored or co-authored many of the grants with other public and private entities in Prairie City and Jasper County. He said the next step for the trails project, following the land purchase, is to pursue additional grants for construction.

“The (project) timeline is still unknown as that is based on securing funds for construction,” Toribio said. “The funds acquired now are strictly for the (land) purchase.”

The City of Colfax has also been awarded $53,000 in REAP funding to repair, grade, seed and fence 800 feet of highly eroded shoreline in its 480-acre North Park devel-

Cardinal harriers run in LHC meet Rhoads earns LHC honors, running fifth

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton freshman Rachel Rhoads finishes fifth at the Little Hawkeye Conference cross country meet Monday at Grinnell.

GRINNELL — Rachel Rhoads has had a strong first season running in the high school cross country ranks. The Newton High freshman earned all-conference honors placing fifth in Monday’s 2015 Little Hawkeye Conference meet.

Rhoads ran the varsity girls’ 5K course at Grinnell’s Ahrens Park in 20 minutes, 13 seconds for fifth place. The top 15 finishers in the varsity races earn All-LHC honors.

“Rachel really went for it today and fought hard.

She held on to second place for a long time,” Newton girls’ head coach Rachelle Tipton said.

“To get fifth as a freshman, with that tenacity, is very promising for her

conference and overall career. Overall, this was a great meet. The girls pushed through the wind and competed well.”

Both the girls’ and boys’ team championship were decided by one point. Pella’s boys and girls were trying to defend their team titles. They didn’t. A pair of sophomores won the conference individual championships.

In the girls’ division, Dallas Center-Grimes edged out Pella, 46-47, to win the LHC championship title. Oskaloosa was third with 79 followed by Grinnell with 72 points. Newton’s Cardinal girls finished fifth as a team with 118 points. Norwalk placed sixth with 158 points and Pella Christian was seventh with 184 points.

For the boys’ competition, Grinnell claimed

the team title with 40 points with Dallas Center-Grimes in second with 41 points. Pella finished third with 47 followed by Oskaloosa with 103, Norwalk with 160 and Pella Christian with 167. Newton’s boys were seventh with 180 points.

DCG sophomore Lexi Smith is the LHC girls’ champion, running the race in a winning time of 19:11. Sophomore Thomas Clower of Grinnell won the boys’ title in 16:30.

Newton sophomore Tessa Keeton posted a personal-best time of 22:09 for 24th to lead at three-runner pack by the Cardinals. Freshmen Caelyn Briley and Abbie Barr were 25th and 26th, respectively, in 22:18 and 22:25.

Newton JV loses

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’s Jaron Roush (28) eludes a Pella defender in Monday’s junior varsity game at H.A. Lynn Stadium. Newton lost 14-6 to visiting Pella.

Trailing 14-0, Newton High’s Reagan Maple found Austin Reynolds for a 13-yard touchdown pass play with 22 seconds left in the third quarter Monday against visiting Pella. Pella blocked the extra point.

The Cardinal junior varsity football team lost 14-6 to the Little Dutch at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

Pella scored on the first play of the second quarter and led 8-0 at halftime.

Newton’s Zach Combs attempted a 27-yard field goal in the first half but the kick went wide of the mark.

Newton had four

turnovers in the game which hampered the offensive output.

Jaron Roush was the leading rusher, 10 carries for 54 yards, and leading receiver, two catches for 64 yards. Matt Karsten had 38 yards on four carries before he left the game with an injury. Maple went 4-of-8 passing for 97 yards with a touchdown and an interception.

Leading the Newton defense were Grant Garvis, Combs and Joe Busch.

Newton hosts a 6 p.m. game Monday against Bondurant-Fararr.

CMB girls take third, PCM fourth at HOIC meet

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News AMES — Jerry Meinerts’ Collins-Maxwell/Baxter varsity girls’ cross country team has a lot of interchangeable runners.

Junior Heather Jessen and freshman Brenna Thomson have gone back and forth in the top spot for the squad this season and freshmen Lauren Ratliff and Shasta Moody have been close in the three and four positions, too.

Those four runners have been pretty consistent this season, and that group helped the Raiders claim third in the Heart of Iowa Conference meet on Monday. The meet took place at Iowa State’s Cross Country course and was hosted by Roland-Story.

Jessen, Thomson and Moody all ended up on the all-conference medal stand with top-14 performances, and the Class 2A No. 11 Raiders finished with 81 points. Class 3A No. 2 Gilbert won the title with 25 points and 2A No. 10 North Polk was the runner-up with 36.

“We were really happy with the all-conference honors, and two of those girls are freshmen,” Meinerts said.

“We just wanted to make it through today and not have any serious injuries. We can give some of the girls some

time off. Hopefully, we’ll have everyone healthy by (Oct. 22).”

Prairie City-Monroe was kept off the all-conference stand but finished in fourth with 131 points. Nevada rounded out the top five with 153, while the rest of the field included Roland-Story (173), Greene County (184), Saydel (186) and South Hamilton (240).

The ultimate goal for both the Raiders and Mustangs is to be at their very best when they run in the state qualifier meets on Oct. 22.

Ratliff was not at her best Monday as she continues to fight through shin splints.

PCM likely won’t have Rachel Stafford the rest of the year and Kiara Kappelman continues to sit out with an injury.

“It will be nice having a week and 1/2 before our district/regional meet so we can get over some of these little nagging injuries,” Meinerts said.

CMB’s Jessen crossed the line in eighth place, finishing with a time of 22 minutes, 2.90 seconds. Thomson was 12th in 22:18.59 and Moody was less than a second behind in 13th.

This & That

Astros, Cubs playing well with house money Coming into the 2015 season, Major League Baseball fans and experts were excited about what the Houston Astros and Chicago Cubs could accomplish in a few years.

The 2015 season was supposed to be a developing year for some of the biggest future stars of the game. But don’t tell either club that.

B o t h By Troy Hyde squads were Newton Daily supposed to News be one year Sports Writer away from seriously competing for a title, but both are now playing with house money as both squads are one win away from playing in their respective division championship series.

The Astros’ run sort of feels like the Royals’ march to the World Series last year.

Not much was expected of the Royals last year when they pulled off a miraculous win in the wild card game.

But Kansas City became a team everyone was rooting for, and it took advantage of the moment by playing loose and stress free.

The Astros are playing that way this year. They have an ace who is fearless and two of the better prospects in the game in George Springer and Carlos Correa. It always takes a few unsung heroes to make a serious run, and Colby Rasmus has been that guy so far for Houston. He is tearing the cover off the ball.

Speaking of aces, there hasn’t been anyone better in the second half of the season than Chicago star Jake Arrieta. And the moment doesn’t appear to be too high for rookies Kris Bryant, Addison Russell, Jorge Soler and Kyle Schwarber.

Throw in Anthony Rizzo and the resurgence of Dexter Fowler and the Cubs might just have enough talent to dethrone the mighty Cardinals.

I grew up a Reds fan so nothing makes me more happy than seeing the Cardinals and Cubs struggle.

However, when the two go head-to-head, I’d rather see the Cubs come out on top.

I thought the ALCS would feature Toronto and Kansas City, and the Blue Jays were my World Series pick.

Both squads will be in a winner-take-all Game 5 though after staving off elimination on Monday.

In the NL, I had the Dodgers facing the Cardinals in the NLCS. The Mets and Cubs stole home field advantage though.

Now it’s up to the favorites to get back an advantage with a road win of their own.

I didn’t think Major League Baseball handled the Chase Utley situation very well.

I don’t agree with the suspension.

To me, he is a making a baseball play trying to break up the double play.

It was a vicious hit, but Utley isn’t the first player to cause an injury during a slide into second base.

There is no precedence for the act, and I thought it was the wrong decision to suspend him.

Thomson snags HOIC honor, CMB boys place sixth PCM’s Ellens falls short of medal, Mustangs finish eighth

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News AMES — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter freshman Ian Thomson knew he was facing some pretty stiff competition in the Heart of Iowa Conference meet on Monday night.

But that didn’t change his ultimate goal.

Thomson wanted to run his best race and grab one of 14 all-conference spots.

One of those came true as the Raider freshman claimed 12th to help CMB finish sixth in the team standings.

“He was at about 16th a mile into the race,” CMB coach Jerry Meinerts said of Thomson. “He kept working his way up.

He was 13th with 400 meters to go and caught another guy and was close to two more. He had a great race, and it was good to see him run well.”

Prairie City-Monroe also ran on Iowa State’s Cross Country course and finished eighth. Class 3A No. 10 Gilbert won the meet with 30 points, while North Polk was second with 83 and Nevada was third with 91.

Class 1A No. 7 South Hamilton did not have the services of its No. 2 runner and still tied Nevada with 91 points but took fourth overall.

Roland-Story rounded out the top five with 126 points, while CMB (155), Saydel (185), PCM (187) and Greene County (256) completed the nine-team field.

The windy conditions gave the runners some mixed feelings.

Thomson thought the wind affected him during the early stages of the race but not so much after that. Overall, Thomson was happy with his performance.

“I just wanted to run the best race I could and hopefully make all-conference,” Thomson said. “It’s a tough conference. I was close to the PR that I ran at South Hamilton.”

PCM junior Chris Ellens had a different opinion. He thought the wind and hills in the middle of the course made things tougher. Ellens was disappointed with his overall performance as he placed

two spots shy of an all-conference spot in 16th.

“I had a couple guys pass me at the end, so it was kind of disappointing,” Ellens said. “The wind wasn’t any fun. Those hills in the back killed me, too. We haven’t run on a hilly course in awhile so that hurt me I think.”

Thomson’s 12th-place finish was clocked at 18 minutes, 9.95 seconds.

Sophomore Max Van Maanen was the next Raider to cross as he was 25th with a time of 19:09.90 and sophomore Carter Fricke was 34th in 19:25.37.

“He’s getting closer to Ian,” Meinerts said of Van Maanen. “He’s getting into shape and he’s getting better and better each time out.”

CMB’s final two counting places were from freshmen Eric Wagner and Josh Bruntz, who were 62nd and 65th, respectively. Junior Brady Ross (84th) and junior Curtis Jones (110th) also ran on the varsity.

“We have a pretty solid top three,” Meinerts said. “We need to figure out how to close that gap between three and four.

Once we figure that out, it will help us a lot.”

Ellens crossed the finish line in 18:21.66. Sophomore Blake Lee was next in 37th and the other counting runners were Noah Henkenius in 63rd, sophomore Brady North in 69th and Mark Bruxvoort in 79th.

Andreas Vargas (80th) and Bradley McClellan (111th) also competed on the PCM varsity.

Gilbert sophomore Jason Taylor won the race in 17:44.14. The Tigers won the meet, because they grabbed five of the first 11 spots.

The other two varsity runners were junior Winter Brown in 43rd and junior Anna Jones in 50th.

Brown was running in just her second meet of the season.

“I am happy with third,” Meinerts said. “Chasity ran a good race. She continues to get better at each meet and is running really well right now.

Winter and Anna rounded out our varsity and competed well with the girls around them.”

Jayci Vos led the Mustangs, but she finished two spots shy of an all-conference honor.

The junior placed 16th with a time of 22:39.56.

Freshman Payton Schut was two spots behind in 18th with a time of 22:46.45.

Sophomore Baylee Smith was next for the Mustangs in 28th, while freshman Megan Townley placed 36th and freshman Sara Dudley was the final counting place in 51st.

Senior Morgan Novak and freshman Morgan Uhlenhopp also competed, crossing in 69th and 72nd, respectively.

Gilbert claimed the top three spots and six of the first 11 with junior Carley Rahn winning in 20:46.70.

derson ridiculed MLB for not taking a bigger stand.

Utley is appealing the suspension, and I imagine MLB will reduce it to one game. It barely matters.

Utley is hitting .202 this year and is way beyond his prime. However, no other player has been suspended for injuring someone while sliding into second base.

Chris Coghlan wasn’t when his slide into second base, to also break up a double play, resulted in a broken leg for Pittsburgh’s Jung Ho Kang.

I think Utley should have been called out for not touching the base. The umps are more at fault in this particular instance. Utley did what everyone was taught to do at a young age. It’s the umpire’s job

to make the right call.

I expect Utley to get a ball to the ribs if and when he plays next against the Mets. That’s just what baseball is. Players police themselves, and that’s fine. Utley probably knows it’s coming.

Royals rally, beat Astros Cubs hit six home runs in decking Cardinals to force a Game 5 HOUSTON (AP) — Almost out of time and out of the playoffs, the Kansas City Royals realized they needed more than a big home run.

They needed a lot of hits — a maybe a little help, too.

The defending AL champions saved their season Monday. They took advantage when Astros shortstop Carlos Correa couldn’t handle a deflected grounder that might have been a double-play ball, rallying for five runs in the eighth inning to beat Houston 9-6, forcing their playoff series to a decisive Game 5.

“We always feel that we’re still in games, and we still have a chance,” first baseman Eric Hosmer said. “That’s the mentality for this whole entire team.

It’s never quit, and the character we showed today. That’s what a championship ballclub does.”

Correa homered twice, doubled, singled and drove in four runs in Game 4 of the AL Division Series.

Houston took a 6-2 lead into the eighth, but a tough error charged to the 21-year-old rookie keyed the Royals’ comeback to even the matchup at two games apiece.

“I missed it. That’s what happened,” Correa said. “I wish I was perfect. I wish I could do everything perfect, but I’m not. I’m human.”

Game 5 will be back in Kansas City on Wednesday night. John-

ny Cueto is set to start for the Royals against Collin McHugh.

“Everyone that watched that game, everybody that was a part of that game knows how difficult it is to feel like that game was closing in our favor and then have it not go our way,” Astros manager A.J. Hinch said.

Late in the game, a tweet from the account of Texas Gov. Greg Abbott congratulated the Astros on advancing to the AL Championship Series. Abbott later tweeted for his personal account: “No predictions. Just support.”

Kansas City opened the eighth with five straight singles off relievers Will Harris and Tony Sipp, with RBI hits by Lorenzo Cain and Hosmer making it 6-4 and leaving the bases loaded with no outs.

Kendrys Morales followed with a hard, one-bouncer off Sipp’s glove. The ball took two more hops and got past the top of Correa’s mitt, rolling into center field as two runs scored to tie it at 6.

“Just a weird spin on the ball and tough play,” Sipp said.

“I’m sure it was tougher than it looked. Game of inches, and I barely missed it.”

Alex Gordon’s RBI groundout off Luke Gregerson later in the inning put Kansas City ahead.

Hosmer launched a long, tworun homer in the ninth for insurance.

CHICAGO (AP) — The young sluggers of the Chicago Cubs are making themselves at home in the playoffs.

On a rare off night for Jake Arrieta, the Windy City rookies bashed their way to the brink of the NL Championship Series.

Jorge Soler, Kris Bryant and Kyle Schwarber connected during a six-homer show for the Cubs, who beat the St. Louis Cardinals 8-4 on Monday for a 2-1 lead in the NL Division Series. Arrieta struck out nine before departing in the sixth inning, and the bullpen finished the job in the first postseason game at Wrigley Field in seven years.

A third straight win for the Cubs on Tuesday afternoon, and the once woebegone franchise will advance to the NLCS for the first time in 12 years. The Cardinals, who led the majors with 100 wins this season, have won at least one playoff series in each of the last four years.

Jason Heyward and Stephen Piscotty homered for St. Louis, which got to Arrieta for four runs in his worst start in four months. But the Cardinals were unable to keep the Cubs in the ballpark.

The six homers for Chicago set a franchise record for a playoff game, one more than its five long balls in Game 1 of the 1984 NLCS against San Diego.

The Cardinals trailed 8-4

before Piscotty hit a tworun shot with two out in the ninth, a scary moment for a towel-waving crowd of 42,411 used to playoff heartache. But Hector Rondon retired Matt Holliday on a harmless bouncer to second, and the party was on.

Arrieta improved to 18-1 with a 1.00 ERA in his last 22 starts dating to June 21, but he was far from his usual dominant stuff. He hadn’t allowed more than three runs in a game since a June 16 loss to Cleveland.

And it didn’t matter, not one bit.

Schwarber, Starlin Castro and Bryant homered against Michael Wacha in his first playoff appearance since he threw the final pitch of the 2014 postseason for the Cardinals, a game-ending, threerun shot for Travis Ishikawa in the NLCS against the Giants.

Bryant’s two-run drive made it 4-2 with one out in the fifth and chased Wacha in favor of Kevin Siegrist.

But Anthony Rizzo followed another long ball, a drive to right for his first hit of the playoffs.

Even Adam Wainwright got into the act, serving up Soler’s two-run shot in the sixth. Soler, who struggled with injuries for much of the year, is 4 for 4 with two homers, four RBIs and five walks in the series.

Blue Jays force Game 5 against Rangers ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays went deep early and used a pair of Cy Young winners to force a deciding Game 5 in the AL Division Series.

Josh Donaldson and Chris Colabello hit home runs before 40-year-old knuckleballer R.A. Dickey threw his first postseason pitch, and the Blue Jays won 8-4 in Game 4 on Monday to send the series back to Toronto.

Game 5 is Wednesday. Cole Hamels starts for the Rangers against Marcus Stroman in a rematch from Game 2, which Texas won in 14 innings.

After losing the first two games in the series at home, the Blue Jays won both games in Texas in a span of 24 hours.

Mets lead NLDS 2-1 against Dodgers NEW YORK (AP) — Curtis Granderson drove in five runs, Yoenis Cespedes homered into the second deck and the New York Mets overcame Matt Harvey’s early struggles to beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 13-7 Monday night for a 2-1 lead in the NL Division Series.

Travis d’Arnaud also homered as the Mets set a franchise postseason record for runs in their first playoff game at Citi Field.

Mets rookie lefthander Steven Matz tries to close out the series Tuesday night, when the visiting Dodgers send NL MVP Clayton Kershaw to the mound on three days’ rest. Kershaw has lost five straight postseason starts.

Steelers win on final play SAN DIEGO (AP) — Le’Veon Bell scored on a 1-yard wildcat run as time expired to give Mike Vick and the Pittsburgh Steelers a stunning 24-20 victory over the San Diego Chargers on Monday night.

With 5 seconds left, Bell took the direct snap, ran left and was buried in traffic before diving for the end zone and getting the ball across the line as Donald Butler dragged him down.

Thousands of Pittsburgh fans waving Terrible Towels went nuts as the Steelers improved to 3-2. San Diego dropped to 2-3.

Vick, having an awful game until the fourth quarter, kept the drive alive with a 24-yard scramble up the middle and then a 16-yard pass to Heath Miller one play before Bell’s big run.

San Diego rookie Josh Lambo kicked a go-ahead, 54-yard field goal with 2: 56 left.

Astrograph

The moon changing from Libra to Scorpio is always significant. It means emotions will be getting deeper, more primal and more likely to lead to a tangible outcome. This is a creative passage, but don’t take that as a good sign. It’s a neutral sign. The bad thoughts have just as fair of a chance of coming to fruition as the good ones.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 13). Your wishes come true this year, provided they are reasonable, actionable and specific. Hey, that’s something!

Give it your best in November because hard work will pay off immediately. January and June

are dreamy and adventurous months. Your communication lands profitably in November and May. Cancer and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 16, 4, 44, 38 and 50.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Today there are so many rumors, hoaxes and generally outrageous untruths out there just itching to be shared with the whole world. Before you repeat or share anything, get more information.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

In a perfect world, the people you interact with understand the value of your time and

theirs -- it is our most precious resource, after all. You’ll probably have to teach others how to be more efficient (and why).

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Sometimes you want to open your heart to all the love you deserve, but today you feel most loved when people make room for you to be by yourself and do your own thing.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Finding your own path is not easy. Often you need a machete to cut back the brush and bramble. The machete of the day will be your words, concise and direct, articulating what you need and desire.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Did you wake up less than en-

thusiastic about what the day holds? It’s a similar lineup to yesterday, and you’re getting that been-there-done-that feeling. A Sagittarius can help you change it up.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

If you know the motivation of others, you’ll find it much easier to manage them -- and you’ll have to today. Try to learn what’s behind their questions and what’s behind what’s behind their questions.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Your smile is a gift to anyone you bestow it upon. You’ll give that gift over and over today to loved ones and strangers alike. This makes the world a little brighter -- no small accomplishment.

403 West 4th St N. Newton, IA

Apply online today at www.caleris.com to interview and find out more!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Tucking away your true emotions will only cause stress and strain. Anyway, the astute see how you’re feeling no matter what you do to mask it. You may as well be honest and free today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Good people around you will make you happy. Bad people around you will give you something, too: experience mostly. The bad ones are what make you more sophisticated.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). If you tell yourself “don’t worry,” you may or may not take your own advice. But if you direct yourself to an activity that makes you feel comfortable and safe, you’ll

naturally forget to worry.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The beginning stages of any project are among the most challenging because it’s so easy to give up when you don’t have much time or effort invested. But there’s a reason you chose this. Don’t give up.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You can do hard things. One of your great talents is in not recognizing much of a difference between hard and easy. It’s just you, handling what needs to be handled right in front of you.
