Supervisors approve pet costume contest on courthouse lawn

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer While it hasn’t taken place for awhile, Pet Kingdom’s pet costume contest will be making a return this year.

During Tuesday’s meeting, the Jasper County Board of Supervisors gave the pet grooming services owner, Sharon Wallway, approval to hold the contest at 5 p.m., Oct. 30, on the west side of the courthouse lawn.

“The last time we did it … it was close to a 100 people and that was awhile ago,” Wallway said.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Jon Stanzyk prepares for the delivery truck at his job at Walgreens in Newton. Walgreens is one of several employers in Newton who work with Progress Industries to employee workers with disabilities.

Wallway said the event would coincide with Newton’s Beggars Night and that Craig Light, executive director of the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce, reached out to her to bring back the contest.

Pets Kingdom will provide pet owners with the necessary supplies to clean up after their animals, Wallway said. As more details about the contest developed, they will be released according to a post on the business’ Facebook page.

Progress Industries celebrates National Disability Employment Awareness Month

By Jamee A. Pierson Daily News Staff Writer Expect. Employ. Empower.

Those three words are used as the theme for the 2014 National Disability Employment Awareness Month. Progress Industries of Newton along with many employers in the community are participating in the annual awareness campaign to educate about disability employment issues and celebrate the contribution of workers with disabilities.

At Progress Industries, every

person comes in at a different readiness level. It is the job of the employment consultant to help identify if the person is ready for a job, if they are even thinking they might want a job or if they even know that having a job is an option.

“Everybody starts out with an intake process here when they first come. Then we decide if they are ready to look for a job or not. Then they come to us, job coaches,” Debbie Schwarz, Employment Consultant at Progress Industries.

Once a person decides that they want to get a job, the employment consultant begins the discovery process which identifies what their likes and dislikes are, their skills and what their comfort level is in a job setting.

Career exploration is offered through classes at Progress Industries and as a part of those classes, the person can visit an employer as well as job shadow.

The next step is for the person

Ty Rushing/Daily News Sharon Wallway, owner of Pet Kingdom in Newton, received permission from the Jasper County Board of Supervisors to hold a pet costume contest on the courthouse lawn later this month.

A look back: Pink Ribbon Support Group celebrates 20th anniversary Newton Daily News In the fall of 1994, five women came together at the home of Linda Hotger to discuss the possibility of starting a support group for women with breast cancer. This original group included Hotger, Carol Hopkey, Jan Matson, Opal Snyder and Mary Lou Kaloupek, all of whom were survivors of breast cancer. The group agreed the meetings should include an educational offering along with time for interaction between those who came together.

On Oct. 13, 1994, the Jasper County Breast Cancer Support Group held its first of-

ficial meeting in the cafeteria conference room at Skiff Medical Center. Sixteen women attended. The speaker for the evening’s program was Dr. Gary Richardson, who spoke on breast cancer treatment options. Skiff Medical Center has sponsored the group from its beginning, offering a meeting place and refreshments for the monthly gatherings.

Many of the speakers have been professionals from Skiff and the local medical staff community.

Since that first meeting, the group has met every month, except for the months of July and August. In the first few months, it was decided

to name the group the Pink Ribbon Support Group. The group also developed the goal of education as the primary focus. Dues were discussed but through the generosity of individual donations, an account was set up to help purchase educational supplies. Within the first three years, a local sorority had fundraising activities and donated proceeds to the support group.

Along with educational publications and special programs, the group has also assisted in decorating and supplying items for the chemotherapy area at Skiff, which is now located in the Ross Medical Arts Building and

Submitted Photo The current members of the Pink Ribbon Support Group met in June at the Hunter Mansion for its annual tea room outing. Those in attendance were (clockwise from front center) Elaine Scholten, Susan Huetter, Darlene Illingworth, Andrea Birkenholtz, Diane Halter, Carol Hopkey, JoAnn Becker, Linda Hotger, Jo Freese, Rosemary Nikkel and Donna Thomason.

serving patients as the Skiff Cancer Clinic.

This has included chemo-lounge chairs, various decorative items and necessary supplies as directed by the chemotherapy staff. A

newsletter was initiated in 2001 (Skiff supplies the materials and postage for the letters) to be sent to women with breast cancer throughout the county.

When possible, a gift

pack is given to women who undergo breast cancer surgery at Skiff.

Sacred Heart hosts Trunk or Treat Oct. 26

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Old Choices opened its first location 10 years ago at 101 W. Second St. N. and moved to its current location on the southwest corner of the square in December of 2010. Friday and Saturday Choices will be celebrating its 10 year anniversary with a ribbon cutting and open house.

Choices Book Store celebrates 10 years

By Jamee A. Pierson Daily News Staff Writer Choices, a Christian Living Store, is celebrating its 10th anniversary in business this month.

To cap off celebrations, the store will be having a ribbon cutting with the Newton Chamber of Commerce at 12:15 p.m.

Friday and an open house from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday with door prizes and snacks.

Choices opened in October of 2004 by Larry and Julie Jones at its first location, 2501C First Ave. E. Larry is from the Brooklyn area and Julie grew up near Lynnville. Residents of Newton since 1995, the Jones decided to open their own business. They both were already employed at jobs they enjoyed, but they wanted to do more.

“We just thought we wanted to do something, some kind of business. When we started researching we had multiple people say that a Christian bookstore would be good,” Julie said.

With help from friends and

neighbors Larry and Dianna Ambroson of The Medicine Shoppe, they opened the Christian Bookstore. While struggling to find a location for their business, the couple prayed for guidance and waited for God’s answer. It worked out that the next day, Larry saw a building for rent and with help from their family, neighbors and church friends they landed in their first location.

There are several reasons the Jones’ named the store Choices.

First, everyone has a choice for how they live their lives. Second, the choices that people make have an impact on other in the world. Last, following Jesus Christ is a choice they hope and pray that everyone will make.

In December of 2010, the store moved locations to its current home, 101 W. Second St. N. The move was prompted by the decision to find a more visible location. When beginning their search, the Jones’ thought they found the perfect location, but felt the need to wait before moving forward. Their instincts

were right on to wait and the location on the southwest corner of the square became available.

The entire store was moved in a weekend with the help of many people in their family and church family. The store now has a lot more visibility on the square and they feel God has really blessed their ministry in the new location.

“It has been very rewarding, when you are in there, you get to know people and you get to help them when they are searching for something. For us it is a lot about the relationship and helping people on their life journey,” Julie said.

Opening a new business was a lot of work, they said, but as they look back over the past 10 years, they know that it could have only been done through the power of God. Through him, they said, their business has continued to grow and support the Newton community.

job, the career stays with the person to help manage any issues that may arise and be a mediator for the employer and the employee.

“If there is an issue all you have to do it call me and I will help you work it out. Over the last 20 years, we have developed great relationships with certain employers here in town. They even now call us when they have job openings,” Schwarz said.

An employer that has worked with Progress Industries for several years is Walgreens. Store Manager Jay Porter, who has worked at several other Walgreens, said he has always had very good experience working with programs like those at Progress Industries and that he is always willing to help in any way he can.

“I’m very passionate about it, so when I saw they were doing that I was all in, any way that I can help them,” Porter said. “I currently employ three

“We do try to match them up with their interest, what do they like to do, and sometimes they will find out they like things they didn’t even know they did. We try to match them up in a job that we think is something they are going to like,” Schwarz said.

People who come to work at Walgreens have the same expectations as any other employee and are given responsibilities to suit their skills.

“It depends a little bit on skill level. I have one person that is primarily responsible for helping stock shelves and checking out dates. I’ve got another guy who works full time just helping stock and working the stock room and another one who works the register,” Porter said. Porter does not have any extra hours for employees who may have a disability, he has to fit them into the hours he has available. Because of the willingness and eagerness of the employees who work with PI, Porter works with the hours he does have to get them experience.

“They always fit right in.

They are much more excited to be at work. They get passed

I think they are going to be a long term employee for anybody because they are just so happy to have a job,” Porter said. “They tend to make a lot better employees. They almost never call in, they don’t complain about having to work. I have one guy, Jon, he works every Sunday at six in the morning, never complains about it. I don’t have to worry about whether he is going to be here or whether he is going to do a good job,” Porter said. Jon Stanzyk, who was a part of PI, has worked at Walgreens for two years stocking shelves, helping unload the truck and working the register. It is the first job that he has ever had.

“Jon is a great example. I kind of brought him on, I had 10 extra hours a week, I’m sure I can squeeze him in. Christ-

Ty’s Take

Witnessing a miracle

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

Even as I write this, it doesn’t seem like a real thing. The Kansas City Royals — my hometown team, the Boys in Blue, a team other Major League Baseball teams have used as its farm system — are not only in the playoffs, they’re kicking butt.

Seriously, I can’t believe this is happening. The Royals last made the playoffs in 1985 — I wasn’t born until 1987. I’ve never experienced seeing this team win in my lifetime until this year.

As a child of the ‘90s — the greatest decade of all time — I grew up watching Disney movies. Some of the best Disney movies of that era were about sports. For me, watching the Royals not only be in the playoffs but thrive in them is like the entire “Mighty Ducks” Trilogy, “Angels in the Outfield” and other non-Disney ‘90s sports movies about lovable losers turned winners rolled into one.

This is something all my fellow ‘90s kids will get. Imagine watching The Icebox from “Little Giants” leading the Flying V from the “Mighty Ducks,” while being flanked

by Henry from “Rookie of the Year” and the Ducks coach,

Gordon Bombay, was in charge.

That’s awesome imagery right? Well, that’s real life for me now as I’m seeing the Royals pull off these miraculous extra inning wins night after night. Well, technically, I’m not seeing this. I’m a very superstitious sports fan, and I believe I am cursed at the moment.

The last three Chiefs games I watched they lost, and the two I didn’t see they won. And when I watched part of the Royals’ game on Friday, the O’s came back after being down 4-1 to tie it at 5. I immediately left the restaurant I was watching the game at and didn’t know we secured the win until my sister texted me and said, “It’s crazy that the Royals are two games away from the World Series.”

Make no mistake about it, this is crazy! It was almost a decade before I was born that the Royals biggest rival was the New York Yankees — the sports richest and most despised team.

I never had that sense of rivalry with any team really growing up as a Royals fan, because simply put — they all beat us all the time.

I hate the St. Louis Cardi-

Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2014 nals — their fans are still mad about the ‘85 World Series, and I’ve grown to dislike the Detroit Tigers since they’ve been the perennial golden boys of the American League’s Central division.

Other than that, I haven’t felt any big sense of rivalry with the Royals’ opponents. With the Chiefs, we have Raiders’ Week, the Broncos are known as the Donkeys and I want to punch Chargers’ quarterback Philip Rivers in the face. No team the Royals play bring out those primal instincts and emotions out of me.

Growing up, the Royals games were always just a fun outing and a chance to see your favorite players from both teams. I got to dance with Slugger, the team’s mascot, on top of the dugout, see one of my childhood hero’s Ken Griffey Jr. roam the K’s massive center field and in recent years I’ve even taken my godson to a game.

And win or lose, we always had post-game fireworks. I used to watch them with my friends and family from my Grandpa Rushing’s front porch as they illuminated the sky over Vine-

yard Boulevard.

Having a winning baseball team is a surreal feeling for us Royals fans across the country, and I can only imagine the atmosphere back home. One of my best friends, O, sent me a picture of a new drink called “Royal Blue Long Island,” and the hashtags of “BeRoyal” and “TakeBacktheCrown” have dominated my social media feeds.

Not being home for this miraculous run of great baseball in KC hurts a bit — especially after knowing nothing but failure as a fan with a few spurts of “that was almost a good season” thrown in for good measure.

I’m proud this run has united a city and its current and past residents, including one of my writing idols and former KC Star Columnist, Joe Posnanski.

Watching the Royals at the K will always be enjoyable to me, but Joe said it best, “Baseball is like pizza. When it’s bad, it’s good. When it’s good, it’s like a gift from the gods.”

Letters to the Editor

Life-long Democrat endorses Critchfield for recorder Rev. Dr. Carl Rothshild-Bond Newton I like Marshall Critchfield’s qualifications for Jasper County Recorder. As a history major in college he understands the importance of protecting and preserving historical documents.

Studying business in graduate school and graduating with an MBA, he excelled in the rigors of academic discipline — enabling him to think independently and make informed decisions based on all available information.

Kelley’s continued leadership is needed Francis Thicke Fairfield I commend Jasper County residents for having elected Dan Kelley as their state representative to the Iowa Legislature in

As a former business owner and now an executive mortgage analyst with Wells Fargo, he knows what people want and is eminently capable of meeting their expectations. Marshall’s extensive leadership experience has taught him the importance of being accountable for his innovations and decision making.

I believe Critchfield’s success in the private sector is exactly what we need in our municipal workforce. History has often shown the longer people hold public office, the state of progress and forward thinking becomes stifled and stagnation sets in. Consequently, the office holder seems happy to maintain

the status quo and be a caretaker of their office. Hand-picked successors usually perpetuate more of the same mindset. New leaders with proven track records who are innovative and focus on the future are what is needed to bring about modernization and forward progress.

Marshall is both an innovator and forward thinker and would bring a pair of “fresh eyes” to the office of county recorder. Accordingly, I urge all registered voters —Democrats, Republicans and Independents, to carefully consider Marshall’s qualifications and join me in voting for Marshall Critchfield for Jasper County Recorder on Nov. 4.

the past, and encourage you to re-elect him.

Dan is a leader in environmental and water quality issues in the state legislature. He has good common sense and an understanding of the issues. I recall statewide media coverage of a water quality hearing in the statehouse in which Dan Kelley

was the only representative who had the wherewithal to ask key questions about how Iowa’s water quality goals could be met. His continued leadership is needed.

I am pleased that Dan is running a positive campaign, and I urge you to send him back to the statehouse, for the benefit of Jasper County and all of Iowa.

Attention all Halloween-loving adults: It’s time to grow up. When are you going to take responsibility for the trauma you are singlehande d l y

By Katiedid inflictLangrock ing on today ’s youth? Enough of this nonsense — the costumes, the jack-o’lanterns, the bobbing for apples. If I wanted to swap spit with my neighbors, I would’ve moved in to the Playboy Mansion.

Speaking of, if you are old enough to answer the door for trickor-treaters, you are too old to don bunny ears and a tail. Please stop giving candy to children while dressed like that. It sends confusing messages, and I’m fairly certain it’s the reason behind America’s obesity issue. While we’re on the topic, stop answering the door in any costume — clown, ghost, Donald Trump’s toupee (also known as Chewbacca). And please, for the love of Jack Skellington, can we unanimously, once and for all, stop trying to scare the children?

The first year I was allowed to trick-ortreat by myself, a friend and I knocked on the door of a neighbor we didn’t know about a block away from where I lived. A lady answered the door while wearing a bloody apron and wiping clean a butcher knife.

Our mouths dropped.

We stared at her, horrified. Clearly, one of our costumed compatriots had been kidnapped and was now in the kitchen

getting dismembered.

Noticing we were scared silent, the bloodcovered lady said, “Don’t you two have something to say?”

We shook our heads “no.”

“Well, then,” she said. “Trick or treat.”

She threw a piece of candy into our pillowcases, no doubt laced with poison, and shut the door.

Once the door was closed, screams were heard coming from inside the house. My friend and I ran.

In the years following, I refused to trickor-treat at that house.

No matter how many times my mom told me the blood was makeup, the butcher knife a prop, the screaming a CD. I may have just been a young child, but I know what I saw: murder! From that moment forward, that evil woman lost the privilege of paying for candy and giving it to me free.

Do you want to lose your cute ninja turtle and princess trickor-treaters?

Sending children into years of therapy simply because you insisted on joining in the “fun” of a kid’s holiday by answering the door in costume?

Where is your sense of responsibility? Of decorum? Of consideration for your fellow man?

Halloween decorations have already started going up in my neighborhood, and I’m disappointed and saddened to tell you that they are awesome. I mean, really great. There are themes, homemade designs, holograms, lights and music. Tents are put up for temporary haunted driveways; scarecrows are on display; and bats with flickering eyes are in every tree.

It’s nauseating.

Woman who abuses boyfriend can’t figure out how to stop DEAR ABBY: I think I have an abuse problem. I have been with my boyfriend for a year, and already I feel like he is fed up with me. I don’t want to lose him.

When I was younger, my father used to abuse me. It was years ago, but I feel like I might have gotten that trait from him. In addition, I have a tendency to smack my boyfriend on the arm when he’s verbally abusing me. I just want it to stop.

I love this man and I feel terrible after I do it. I keep telling him I’m sorry and that I have the worst tendency to act on impulse. Please tell me how to stop because I CANNOT lose him. Any suggestions? — SORRY IN KANSAS CITY, MO. DEAR SORRY: If you want your relationship to improve, you must realize it will take effort not only on your part but also your boyfriend’s. Neither of you handles anger or frustration appropriately. He shouldn’t verbally abuse you if something bothers him. And you need to find other ways than hitting him to make him stop.

Couples counseling could help you communicate more effectively with each other. Many licensed mental health professionals offer it. Please don’t wait.

DEAR ABBY: Our 5-year-old daughter, “Maya,” was diagnosed with a severe peanut and tree nut allergy before she was 2. My parents have completely overhauled their house and have gone nut-free. My husband’s parents, on the other hand, refuse to cooperate with Maya’s diet restrictions when she visits.

I have tried talking to them, which in turn upsets my husband. He keeps making excuses for them, even though he demanded the school become nut-free to accommodate her.

We were scheduled to go to their house for an early Thanksgiving when they revealed that the house still wasn’t safe for Maya to come to. My husband’s solution was to go there for the weekend and leave us behind.

How can I get my in-laws to understand, and my husband to stand up for

his daughter and me? — LOOKING OUT FOR MAYA DEAR LOOKING OUT FOR MAYA: You can’t. Your husband is still under his parents’ thumb. While he may love his parents, his first responsibility is to you and his children. Until he finds his backbone and realizes that, he will remain at his parents’ beck and call. I’m glad you’re looking out for your daughter because her father doesn’t appear to be emotionally equipped to do it.

DEAR ABBY: I can no longer go to funeral visitations. I have buried my parents, two sisters, four brothers and nine nieces and nephews. The number of loved ones I have lost, and the visitations and funerals I have had to attend, have been overwhelming. I can’t face it anymore.

How do you suggest I avoid them? I am running out of excuses, and I’m tired of being a no-show. — HATES FUNERALS IN ILLINOIS DEAR HATES FUNERALS: People deal with loss in different ways, and you don’t have to apologize for feeling the way you do. Stop making excuses and start telling the truth.

When you are notified about a death, offer your condolences, a donation, flowers, and explain that after 17 deaths in your family, you no longer attend funerals because it has become too much for you.

That way, no one will think you don’t care or wonder why you didn’t show up.

shelter for men

CEDAR RAPIDS — The closing of Cedar House Shelter means fewer beds are available for homeless men in Cedar Rapids.

The 16-bed shelter opened in 2001.

Judy Wolfe, who leads the Cedar House board, says the board wasn’t comfortable with continuing operations in the building, and there wasn’t enough money to move to a new spot.

Branstad, Hatch debate economic development SIOUX CITY (AP) — Gov. Terry Branstad touted his record on economic development Tuesday night during his final debate against Democratic challenger Jack Hatch, who accused the incumbent governor of breaking promises to create jobs and boost incomes.

Branstad and Hatch appeared in Sioux City at the Orpheum Theatre in the last of three debates.

Branstad, who is running for a sixth non-consecutive term, noted a recent commercial property tax cut and new jobs in Iowa.

But Hatch said Branstad was inflating job creation numbers and had not provided enough tax relief to working families.

“We can’t afford four

m o r e years of Te r r y Branstad and his promises kept or broken,” Hatch said.

BransBranstad tad said he was proud of his record, saying he was “recruited to come back and lead Iowa’s comeback.”

Branstad, 67, has held a sizable lead throughout the race, with far more money and support than the 64-year-old Hatch.

A new Iowa Poll from the Des Moines Register and Bloomberg Politics released this week shows Branstad with the sup-

port of 54 percent of likely v o t ers and Hatch with 39 percent.

T h a t Hatch survey of 1,000 likely voters, conducted by Selzer & Co. of Des Moines, has a margin of error of 3.1 percentage points.

During the debate, Hatch expressed support for raising the minimum wage in Iowa, saying it would benefit working families. Branstad said he would prefer to focus on attracting good jobs to the state.

The two disagreed on raising the state gas tax for infrastructure spending, with Hatch supporting such a move and Branstad saying he would seek a combination of road user fees. He didn’t specify those fees.

“I don’t think the old fashioned gas tax is the way,” Branstad said.

In response, Hatch said: “He can’t collect enough fees from different sources.”

Asked what they admired about their opponent, Hatch said Branstad had hired good staff during his early years in office, while Branstad said he respected Hatch for being “willing to put his name on the ballot and serve the people of Iowa.”

Spencer celebrates historic status SPENCER (AP) — Residents of Spencer, a northwest Iowa city, are celebrating the designation of Grand Avenue to the National Register of Historic Places.

The Grand Avenue Improvement Corporation on Monday unveiled one of three plaques that will mark North Grand Avenue as a residential historic district, which encompasses Grand Avenue.

Mary Jean Montgomery, the organization’s membership chairwoman, told the Spencer Daily Reporter that the avenue’s new status was a long-term goal of the corporation that

began six years ago.

“Receiving this designation really fits into our overall mission to sustain, maintain and enhance the historic and residential characteristics of Grand Avenue,” Montgomery said. “This is a compliment to not just the neighborhood but the entire community that values this entrance to Spencer.”

She said the neighborhood is an “eclectic” group of houses that range in style, from Victorian to modern, adding, “driving down Grand is like going through an architectural history book.”

Iowa minimum-security inmates move to lockup unit FORT MADISON (AP) — It wasn’t the move that Fort Madison has been anxiously anticipating, but residents of the historic prison town said they’ll take it.

More than 170 minimum-security inmates at the John Bennett Unit at the Iowa State Penitentiary complex packed their belongings and boarded buses Tuesday. Their destination: 400 yards down the road to their new home, the Clinical Care Unit, built in 2001 at a cost of $26 million to house 200 of the most dangerous inmates with mental illness and behavioral problems.

Prison workers have spent several weeks transforming it into a minimum-security environment, removing locks from secure doors and adding a larger visiting room. By Tuesday morning, inmates who

used to sleep in open rooms filled with up to 50 bunks at John Bennett were moving into their small, mostly single cells with their own bathrooms.

Inmates will love their new privacy — but miss the large recreation yard they enjoyed at John Bennett, prison officials said.

Prison officials said the move makes sense, noting that the state has a shortage of minimumsecurity beds and that John Bennett needed expensive structural repairs to remain open.

But one former CCU administrator questioned the logic and cost.

“It was designed for maximum-security inmates,” said Heather Brueck, who left in 2011. “They are wasting lockup cells on folks who don’t have that security level.”

Libertarian official discusses candidate’s death DES MOINES (AP) — The Libertarian Party candidate for governor says the party’s candidate for U.S. Senate put his heart and soul into running with a firm belief in individual liberty.

Dr. Douglas Butzier died when the plane he was piloting crashed around 11 p.m. Monday near Dubuque Regional Airport.

The party’s candidate for governor, Dr. Lee Hieb, says Butzier just last weekend had flown her and several Libertarian Party candidates around the state to campaign.

Hieb, an orthopedic surgeon, says she talked medicine with Butzier, a Dubuque emergency room surgeon, during some of their campaign events. He told her he became a Libertarian after studying economics for a Master of Business Administration about seven years ago.

She says “Iowa and the cause of individual liberty are significantly diminished by his passing.”

Clear Lake motel owner wants tenants evicted CLEAR LAKE (AP) — The owner of the Silver Boot Motel is seeking to evict long-term residents so he can sell the Clear Lake property, but they are fighting to stay.

Owner Ted Christensen went to court Monday with a petition seeking the right to put out the residents who say they have paid rent and should be able to remain in the rooms. The Silver Boot motel has allowed tenants to pay by the month and use the lodgings as if they were apartments.

Christensen’s attorney said a ruling is expected by the end of this week, the Mason City Globe Gazette reported.

A district judge has approved a temporary injunction preventing the evictions, and a hearing on a permanent injunction has been set for later this month. A resident filed the temporary injunction through the help of Iowa Legal Services.

Earlier this year, there were 15 tenants at the motel, but now there are five. They claim Christensen has tried to kick them out with little or no notice and has cut off their utilities.

“I have to keep warm with a blanket since he turned off the utilities,” said Diane DuClos, who’s lived at the motel for seven years. “All he had to do was give us notice. On Oct. 2 he gave me my check and told me it was my last check, that I had to get out. No notice.”

Christensen said that residents pay utilities as part of their rent, which many are behind on. He said he had someone lined up to buy the property and that a closing on the deal had been set for Sept.

29.

“One owes me $1,000,” he said. “Paying the utility bill was to come out of the closing on the property. But since that didn’t happen, I couldn’t pay the utility bill and Alliant shut them off.”

For Local

Warden Nick Ludwick dismissed Brueck as “highly uninformed,” saying it’s common for prisons to be changed to different security levels.

The move is part of a wide-ranging — at times rocky — restructuring of Iowa’s prisons.

Residents of Fort Madison, where the Iowa State Penitentiary dates back 175 years, have been planning for “the big move” for years.

That’s when the old prison will close, and authorities will move 550 offenders a mile down the road to the new but empty $132 million Iowa State Penitentiary.

But that plan is months behind sched-

ule as a result of design problems that have made the new prison unsuitable for inmates.

Workers have spent months repairing the geothermal heating and cooling system and the smoke evacuation system, which didn’t work as intended.

The Iowa Department of Corrections has no timeline for that move, causing frustration among employees and offenders. Original plans called for the minimum-security offenders at the adjacent John Bennett Unit, which was built in 1963, to stay put until after the new prison opened.

But with the delays

Deputy Warden Mark Roberts, who oversaw Tuesday’s transfer, said it was “great to see progress” amid anxiety about the larger move. He said that transfer will take longer and involve more outside officers, but many of the logistics will be similar.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Taylor Shipley, Newton High sophomore, dives to dig the volleyball on the back row during a recent home match with sophomore Megan Pressgrove on her right. Newton played at Pella Tuesday and lost to the Lady Dutch in Little Hawkeye Conference play.

Cardinals fall to Lady Dutch in LHC match

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor PELLA — Consistency of play on the volleyball court is an issue for Newton High’s Cardinals. The Cardinals struggled to get their game going Tuesday in Little Hawkeye Conference play at Pella Community High School.

By the time the Cardinals got up to speed, the Little Dutch had already taken the first two sets. The Lady Dutch handed the Cardinals a 25-4, 25-13, 25-18 loss.

Newton dropped to 0-5 in LHC matches.

“We had a rough night. We can not show up and play one game out of the match,” said Laura Rowen, Newton head coach. “The girls finished the

match playing a hard fought game, which was a positive.”

Morgan Allen was the top performer at the net for Newton against Pella. Allen delivered three kills and had one solo block and one assisted block. Bailey Davis, Taylor Shipley and Megan Pressgrove each downed two kills.

Pressgrove was credited with five set assists while Sydney Hemann had one set assist. Pressgrove made seven digs and Fran Lucas had four digs. Ryanne Rausch and Stephanie Hoebelheinrich each had three digs.

“Our focus for the rest of the season is to make every team we play fight for each point they may take from us, give the extra inch and play hard to the end,” Rowen said.

Newton’s varsity plays in the Johnston tournament Saturday. The Cardinals wrap up the regular season at home Tuesday in Little Hawkeye Conference play against Norwalk.

The NHS freshman team bounced back from losing the first set to Pella, winning 1325, 25-23, 15-9.

“Our girls have been doing a really good job of keeping each other motivated and excited to play. They’ve also done a great job of playing together as a team,” said Jennifer Mouchka, Newton freshman volleyball coach.

“Tonight, they stayed focused to come back and win the final two sets.”

Kinzie Loree served up five aces in her 10 service attempts

Giants beat Cardinals in 10 innings SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A wild pitch, a wide throw and an 18-inning marathon.

These playoff-tested Giants keep finding wacky ways to win in another special October.

An errant throw by reliever Randy Choate on a bunt allowed Brandon Crawford to score the winning run in the bottom of the 10th inning, lifting San Francisco over the St. Louis Cardinals 5-4 on Tuesday for a 2-1 lead in the NL Championship Series.

“Everybody’s saying: ‘How are the Giants doing it? How are the Giants winning games?’” said Gregor Blanco, who laid down the sacrifice. “We just really believe in each other. We

play together.”

Crawford drew an eight-pitch walk from Choate to begin the inning, ending a stretch of 16 straight Giants retired since Tim Hudson’s two-out single in the fourth. After failing on two sacrifice attempts, Juan Perez singled to bring up Blanco.

Blanco fouled off a bunt try, too, but then pushed one to the third-base side of the mound and the left-handed Choate’s side-arm throw sailed past lunging second baseman Kolten Wong, who was covering first base.

for the match. She also had four kills at the net and three digs. Liz McVey had two service aces. Mackenzie Johnson and Kayla Sopher each had one ace serve.

McVey, Addy Blom and Alexis Hoffman each downed one kill. Jordan Banfield had seven set assists and one solo block. Madison Bleeker had two solo blocks. Johnson came up with eight digs while McVey had six digs and Blom had four digs.

Newton’s freshmen play in a tournament at Des Moines Lincoln Saturday.

Newton’s junior varsity squad lost to Pella, 25-15, 25-8.

Hoebelheinrich put down two kills, was credited with seven set assists and had one dig. Natalie Camp had one

kill and one ace serve while Lucy Lilienthal had one kill and one block, Adrienne Bergman had one kill and one dig and Bailey Davis had one kill.

Carter Lee made eight digs. Audrey Lucas had two digs and two ace serves. Shipley had one ace serve and one dig.

“It’s just a matter of coming ready to play and wanting to win. We had beaten them earlier in the season at a tournament we just lack consistency, and it’s hard to win games when you’re not consistent,” said Mallory Sturtz, NHS junior varsity coach.

Boys of the Fall

Royals edge Orioles, lead ALCS 3-0 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — In a perfect postseason for the Kansas City Royals, of course Mike Moustakas made that daring catch look so seamless.

Boosted by more sparkling defense, a dominant bullpen and another dose of small ball, suddenly the wild-card Royals are one win from the World Series.

Billy Butler drove in the go-ahead run with a sacrifice fly in the sixth inning, and the Royals’ steel-curtain relief corps shut down the Baltimore Orioles the rest of the way for a 2-1 win Tuesday night and a commanding 3-0 lead in the AL Championship Series.

“Just trying to find a way to win each night, no matter what, any way we can, just find a way to win,” Moustakas said.

Moustakas made two marvelous plays at third base as Kansas City won its 10th straight postseason

game, including all seven this year.

With the Royals making their first playoff appearance in 29 years, the only thing that’s slowed them City so far was a rainout Monday.

The Royals will send Jason Vargas to the mound for Game 4 on Wednesday, trying to advance to their first World Series since 1985.

Miguel Gonzalez will try to help the Orioles stave off elimination.

Of the previous 33 teams to trail 3-0 in a major league postseason series, only Boston in the 2004 ALCS against the Yankees rallied to win, STATS said.

Smooth with gloves all season, the Royals flashed even more leather to stop the Orioles.

Moustakas made a diving grab to rob Pearce of a single in the fourth.

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer COLFAX — ColfaxMingo senior Sara Lahart gathered her five teammates on the court and did what a senior does.

With only 25 points separating the Tigerhawks from their first victory in a best-of-five match in almost a full calendar year, Lahart huddled her teammates

Wednesday, Oct. 15, 2014

and urged them to finish off Prairie City-Monroe then and there Tuesday night.

“I told them we need to concentrate and keep going,” Lahart said. “We just needed to stay excited and finish it and win.”

Win it they did. In moments when the Tigerhawks previously faltered this season, resiliency against PCM led Colfax-Mingo to a

straight-set win, 25-18, 25-23, 25-23.

Victory was extra rewarding for Lahart and three other ColfaxMingo seniors playing their last home match on Senior Night after the program experienced a 12-68 record the last three seasons.

Tuesday marked Colfax-Mingo’s first three-set win since the Tigerhawks (4-18) beat Saydel in three sets on

NLCS Continued from Page 1B “We had trouble getting the bunt down,” Crawford said. “So I was happy he got it down. He put it in a great spot and made those guys make a play, and fortunately (we) saw the throw go wide.”

Randal Grichuk tied it with a solo homer in the seventh that chased Hudson.

Game 4 in the best-of-seven series is Wednesday night, with Ryan Vogelsong pitching for the Giants against fellow righty Shelby Miller.

Choate blamed himself. He has done pitcher fielding practice for decades.

“He did exactly what I wanted him to do,” the pitcher said.

“It was easy. It was right there and I blew it. The ball just sailed on me.”

This walkoff win came 12 years to the day after Kenny Lofton’s single in the ninth inning ended the 2002 NLCS against the Cardinals and sent the Giants to the World Series.

It also came on a day Hall of Famer Willie McCovey surprised players with his return to the ballpark after a long stint in the hospital nursing an infection.

“Is this a rule we can’t hit a home run?” a relieved manager Bruce Bochy joked, sitting back in his office chair.

In the Division Series clincher only a week earlier against Washington, Joe Panik scored the goahead run in a 3-2 win on Aaron Barrett’s bases-loaded wild pitch. That came after winning Game 2 2-1 in 18 innings.

The Giants also scored the tying run in the ninth inning Sunday on a wild pitch, a 5-4 loss in Game 2 of the NLCS. “We play interesting baseball, especially late in games,” said Jeremy Affeldt, who pitched 1 2/3 innings in relief of Hudson.

Ben Schuff/Daily News Colfax-Mingo’s Amy Russell leaps above the net for a kill as Prairie City-Monroe’s Katie Vande Wall (13) and Olivia Lippman (11) attempt to block the ball. Colfax-Mingo won in three sets.

CMB’s best effort not enough in loss

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer BAXTER — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter played what head coach Scott Ranck described as some of the team’s best volleyball of the season Tuesday night.

That wasn’t enough to beat Class 3A No. 13 North Polk, as the Comets topped CMB, 25-11, 25-22, 25-14.

“We played pretty well against another one of the conference’s better teams,” Ranck said.

Despite some defensive adjustments made by the Raiders, North

Polk’s outside hitter Hannah Becker still managed a matchJurgens high 19 kills.

“About midway through the first set, we really got after the blocking on Becker.

We scored several points off those blocks and forced Becker to adjust her hits, or made North Polk spread it around to others.

“Our blocking tonight really inspired the team, and took a lot of pressure off our

back row defense.”

Payge Jurgens led the Raiders with six kills while sophomore Kathleen Baldwin contributed nine assists.

Mackenzie Schmitz had a team-high 15 digs for CMB. “Our second set was probably the best set we’ve played all year,” Ranck said. “The girls are really starting to gel after the changes we made a couple weeks ago; our passing is much better, our digs are up, our assists are up, our kills are up and our hitting efficiency is up. We just need to keep improving as we head into tournaments.”

Oct. 17, 2013.

Colfax-Mingo’s student section had plenty to celebrate, too, as it formed a tunnel from near the net leading toward the locker room for the players to walk through after the match.

It was the first time the home crowd had seen a win since Sept. 19, 2011.

“It feels amazing. It’s great,” Lahart said. “I love it.”

Colfax-Mingo took control of the first set halfway through, increasing its lead from 10-8 to 19-11.

Players said winning the first set provided the team with a boost of confidence.

The Tigerhawks withstood a seven-point run by PCM (8-21) in the second set. Recovering from opponents’ runs was something head coach Michelle Grant said her team had to do a better job of following a loss to Melcher-Dallas on Oct. 7. Grant’s team did so Tuesday and won despite trailing late in the set at 22-21.

The Tigerhawks erased the same deficit again in the third, scoring four of the game’s final five points to secure the win.

“Against PCM on Senior Night, unbelievable,” Grant said, repeating herself. “Unbelievable, and we came from behind in sets two and three, which we don’t do. We don’t come from behind.

“PCM made mistakes that we were able to capitalize on instead of them making a mistake and us making a mistake after it. We just did it right tonight.”

Those mistakes were at the forefront of PCM

head coach Mollie Keitges’ mind after her team’s loss.

“I just don’t think our girls came ready to play.

We had way too many errors,” Keitges said, noting her team’s 13 errors in the first set alone.

“You can’t give 13 points to somebody and expect to win a volleyball game.”

PCM’s biggest offensive threat, Courtney Van Houweling, saw few opportunities to affect the match. She looked over at her head coach in clear frustration multiple times, and Keitges acknowledged Van Houweling’s lack of impact on the match “certainly makes a difference.”

“It was everything,” Keitges said. “On servereceive passing, nobody was moving their feet.

(Players were) stabbing at the ball, and then that led to bad sets, which led to hitters not being able to take some good swings at the ball.”

Van Houweling’s eighth kill of the match pulled her team even with Colfax-Mingo at 23-23 in the third set.

The Tigerhawks then accomplished what Grant hopes brings momentum to her squad.

“That’s what I told (the players) before I let them go, that this week we play Saydel that is at the bottom of the conference and we have some games we play this Saturday in our tournament against teams we can definitely get some wins against,” she said.

“This has to catapult us through this week.”

Newton freshman win

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor Newton High’s freshmen improved to 6-1 on the season with their 27-8 win over Pella Friday. The Cardinals scored just before halftime to take a 7-0 lead. They added two touchdowns in the third quarter and one more in the fourth, building a 27-0 advantage, Carson Cazett had a 43-yard touchdown run, and Clayton Baltisberger had a run to the end zone from eight yards out. Jace Lukefar caught a 31yard touchdown pass

from Garrett Sturtz and Josh Miravalles hauled in an 11-yard touchdown pass.

Sturtz was 4-of-5 passing for 63 yards.

Zach Combs had a 13yard catch and Cazett had an 8-yard reception to go along with 50 rushing yards. Miravalles had seven carries for 78 yards.

Leading the Cardinal defense were Miravalles with six tackles, Lukefahr with five tackles, Alex Morris with four tackles and Cazett with three tackles and a fumble recovery.

Newton hosts Bondurant-Farrar Friday.

ALCS: Royals one win from reaching World Series Continued from Page 1B That was a sharp play — a couple innings later, he turned in a spectacular one.

In the sixth, Moustakas tracked a popup by Adam Jones into foul territory, steadied himself at a railing near the dugout, then extended himself to catch the ball and tumbled into the stands.

“I was trying to find the fence, and I saw it was going to be a little out of my reach, so I crawled over and reached and caught it, and the people in dugout suite picked me up and kind of helped me,”

Moustakas said.

“It was pretty cool. A lot of credit goes to those people over there for not letting me fall and hurt myself,” he said.

The blue-clad crowd rose to its feet to give Moustakas a rousing cheer, and many fans were still standing when Butler drove in the goahead run in the bottom half of the inning.

The Royals’ Jeremy Guthrie and Orioles’ Wei-Yin Chen hooked up in a tense pitching duel for five innings.

Chen gave up a leadoff single to Nori Aoki in the sixth. Eric Hosmer followed with a one-out single to put runners on

the corners, and Orioles manager Buck Showalter brought in hardthrowing reliever Kevin Gausman to face Butler.

The Royals’ designated hitter sent a fly ball to left field for the tiebreaking run — just the latest example of Kansas City doing the little things right.

One of the best bullpens in baseball took care of the rest — the relievers combined with Guthrie to retire Baltimore’s final 16 batters.

After winning pitcher Jason Frasor breezed through the sixth, Kelvin Herrera and Wade Davis nailed down the next two innings. All-

Star closer Greg Holland worked a perfect ninth for his third save of the series, setting off a wild celebration in the stands.

It was the 13th game to be decided by one run this postseason, matching the record set in 2011 and tied last year.

After failing to take the lead in the first two games of the series, Baltimore managed to strike first, temporarily silencing a frigid, flagwaving capacity crowd.

It happened in the second inning, when Steve Pearce and J.J. Hardy connected off Guthrie with back-toback doubles for a 1-0

lead. Ryan Flaherty later drew a walk, but Guthrie retired Nick Hundley and Jonathan Schoop to escape his biggest jam of the night.

Guthrie wound up grinding through five innings against his former team, allowing just one more hit in his first start since Sept. 26 — a span of nearly three weeks.

Chen matched him pitch-for-pitch until the fourth, when the Royals put together one of their quintessential innings: a pair of bloop singles by Lorenzo Cain and Hosmer, a walk by Butler, and an RBI groundout

by Alex Gordon that tied the game.

The Cancer moon connects us to our feelings and provides a safe environment for us to accept those feelings for what they are: messages from the heart that help you understand who you are and form bonds with others. Some may find that they now have the emotional strength to face a feeling they once would have avoided.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 15). You want to do a good job in all you do. You take on even the small jobs with pride.

Because of this attitude, you excel in both the personal and professional realms. November features an exciting project. December changes the game. Your love life blossoms in May. Celebrate a major accomplishment in June.

Capricorn and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 25, 49, 12 and 16.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). When the people making the decisions aren’t the same ones who have to live with the consequences, it’s

a pretty solid recipe for unrest. A “power to the people” approach works better now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It’s useless to wish you weren’t afraid. Embrace the fear instead.

Without fear, there is no courage. If you never have to be courageous, your growth will be stunted. The fear is an opportunity to grow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There’s only so much time you can spend in cheerless environments before you seek escape, drifting to where there are smiling, courteous people, where the laughter erupts and the sunshine dances.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Prosperity gives you more options, but that doesn’t make it worthy of relentless pursuit.

Money is a tool to pick up along the way, not the reason for the journey.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Keep steering yourself mentally toward the thoughts that lead

to a happy existence.

It’s impossible to feel irritable while living the moment with love and gratitude.

you really feel about it and to determine what level of participation would fit your style the best.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). When you share your joy, it doubles, as long as you’re sharing it with someone who can relate to it and not someone who will feel threatened by or jealous of your happiness.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Instead of struggling against your nature in an effort to improve yourself, why not accept the way you are? There are positive aspects to every personality trait.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). It is futile to think that another person should reason life out the way you do. Each person’s mind is uniquely created to house his or her own thoughts.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). An exciting challenge will snap you out of a potentially boring situation and get your mental wheels whirring again. This won’t be solved in a day, and that’s what’s so good about it.

GEMINI (May 21June 21). The present trend will continue for a while, giving you a chance to decide how

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Do what it takes to feel awesome. Maybe a long walk or a hot bath wasn’t part of your plan, but if it’s going to make you feel better, do it anyway. The world will respond to your positive vibes.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Each generation grows up to worry about the younger one. Being overly concerned, however, will only make you feel old. The more tolerant you are the younger you’ll feel.
