Mayors forum set for Oct. 22

By Jamee A.

Fo u r t h St. S. T h e League of Women Voters of Jasper County and Ne w t o n Berndt Dail y News is hosting the event and invites community members to come learn about Mayor Mike Hansen and his challenger Garfield Berndt III and their ideas for the city. Linda Kirchhoff will serve as moderator.

“The community will be invited to attend and submit questions to the League panel,” coordinator Bonnie Pitz said.

Each candidate will be given three minutes to present background information and their reasons for wanting to be elected to office. A proxy will be permitted to read the introduction statement for the candidate, but is not allowed to answer questions in the name of the candidate.

Following introductions, questions from the public and League will be presented by the moderator. Each candidate will have two minutes to respond to each question

Zager listen as attorney Patrick D. Smith argues for the appellee in a case heard Wednesday in Newton High School’s Center for Performance.

Iowa Supreme Court hears case at Newton High School Attorneys present arguments in open meetings law case

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News It’s not often a court case is heard, no verdict is issued, and there is a happy reception in a lobby afterward.

That’s what occurred Wednesday night at Newton High School. The seven justices of the Iowa State Supreme Court travel a few times per year to hear oral arguments of an actual case in locations away from their usual courtroom, and Newton was the 18th site in the past five years where the court has taken one of its cases.

The justices heard an open meetings law case, involving the Warren County supervisors, from an attorney for each side, and will issue a decision within 90 days. There were some vis-

itors in the courtroom with an interest in either the case or the Iowa legal community amid the estimated 200-plus spectators — including many from Newton.

Many took the time to visit with the Supreme Court justices, who met with the public in the Newton High commons area afterward. There were a host of local civic and educational leaders at the hearing, known as “Hutchinson, et al vs. Warren County Board of Supervisors, et al.” One was Newton Community School District Board President Sheri Benson.

“I was kind of captivated by how informal the justices sometimes were,” Benson said. “It was almost kind of conversational, the way they sometimes spoke to the attorneys.”

Design firm hired to draft Colfax North Park master plan Beck’s Hybrid leasing park building during construction

By Mike Mendenhall Jasper County Tribune COLFAX — Des Moines-based landscape architectural design firm Confluence has been hired to help draft a master plan for a 480-acre outdoor recreational facility at the former Martin Marietta, Inc. rock and sand quarry in Colfax.

Colfax Auxiliary Park Board President Doug Garrett announced the hiring Monday night

during the Colfax City Council meeting.

“This is starting to go into high gear now,” he said. “We need the entire community, and when I say community we’re looking at really countywide interest in this. This is not just going to be a city park.

This is going to allow the region to utilize the recreational opportunities. But we do want your input and we do want your ideas.”

Garrett said the master plan designed by Confluence will be a more definitive version of the conceptual designs created for North Park PARK | 3A

Judge Thomas Mott, a case summary was read by Hilary Montalvo, the president of the Jasper County Bar Association and an attorney with Caldwell, Brierly, Chalupa and Nuzum of Newton.

The justices then took to the long tables that served as their bench on stage, and after some brief words from Chief Justice Mark Cady, the court heard from the attorneys in the case.

Much of the discussion centered on the definition of a “gathering” as it used in Iowa Code, as the case involves a county administrator meeting with all three county supervisors around the time 12 county employees were laid off. A district court ruled there was not an open meetings violation, and the Supreme Court was hearing an appeal.

The case was a huge opportunity for students and educators, including Newton High School government teachers Ashley Carter and Brian Cleveland.

NCSD admin urges board to get moving on bond promotion Board seeks to find project manager or outside agency

and two minutes to clarify any position. They will also have the opportunity to summarize at the end of the forum.

A limit of two questions per subject will be enforced until questions on all other subjects have been addressed.

The League reserves the right to disallow, limit or rewrite the questions to clarify if needed and combine questions that are similar.

“The League occasionally writes a question but we prefer the audience to submit questions to our panel of League members who review them and then pass them to the moderator,” Pitz said.

Participants were notified that no campaign material is permitted in the room where the forum is conducted, in this case, the council chambers.

Mike Hansen has served as mayor since 2012 when he took the reins from Chaz Allen and was then elected to the position two years ago.

If re-elected, Hansen said he will continue to work for and lead the community to achieve the goals established in the Comprehensive Plan.

Hansen’s challenger is Berndt Garfield III. Berndt said he decided to throw his hat in the ring because after paying attention to and researching politics he learned there were two kinds of people, the doers and the complainers. In years past, he was a complainer and now wants to become a doer.

As we head into the heart of flu season, it is important to remember the best defense against the flu really does begin with a year-round offense. However, there are multiple steps you can take today to help boost your immunity. What you eat is key, so aim to have a varied and balanced diet that includes plenty of immune-boosting nutrients, which are readily available among the food groups. You will also treat your body right by moving more, sleeping well and practicing stress reduction techniques.

Several nutrients have been shown to be beneficial for boosting immunity and keeping the flu at bay: beta carotene found in deep yellow and orange fruits and vegetables and dark green vegetables; vitamin B6 from fortified cereals, beans, meat, poultry and fish; vitamin C in a wide selection of produce, including citrus, strawberries, tomatoes and greens; vitamin E from nuts, seeds, oil and wheat germ; selenium in meats and seafood; and zinc found in meat, poultry and seafood. Probiotics are also important for maintaining healthy bacteria in your intestines and can be found in yogurts with live and active cultures and some other fermented foods. Also important are lean proteins, which include meats, seafood, dairy, nuts, seeds and beans.

Start by stocking your kitchen with these foods: Deep yellow and orange fruits and vegetables — sweet potatoes, pumpkin, butternut squash, carrots, cantaloupe, mangoes and apricots Green vegetables — spinach, kale, romaine and broccoli Citrus — oranges, grapefruit

and tangerines Berries — strawberries, blueberries Legumes — kidney beans, black beans, soybeans, lentils and split peas Whole grains — oatmeal, whole-grain breads, pasta and cereal, brown rice Nuts and seeds — sunflower seeds, almonds, peanut butter and wheat germ Fermented foods — yogurt, kefir and kimchi Milk products — skim or low-fat milk Lean meats and seafood — chicken, turkey, lean beef with the terms “loin” or “round,” fish What else can you do throughout the year? Find ways to move during your day — maybe that means parking further out, taking the stairs, walking, biking, joining a gym or wearing a pedometer to increase mindfulness and working toward a daily goal.

Stay active by incorporating your favorite activities. If you enjoy walking, walk; if you like biking, dancing, skiing or yoga, do those activities. Whatever you do, just aim to move more and sit less!

The benefits of a good night’s rest should not be discounted, either — recommendations are generally for eight hours per night. In addition, reducing stress is another way to combat illness. Many people find that physical activity and stress-relief go hand-in-hand; others prefer a warm bath or meditation — again, find what works best for you.

And if your doctor recommends a flu shot, head to your nearest pharmacy.

Treat your body right throughout the year and reap the benefits come flu season.

Here’s a recipe with flu-fighting butternut squash to get your started:

Boot Camp with Chad Nov. 9 to Dec. 11 Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays — 5:15 to 6:15 a.m.

A kid-friendly class that gets kids moving. Kids will shake, wiggle, and have a blast in this Zumba-themed class geared toward children ages 4-12.

Teal Pumpkin Painting 6 to 7:15 p.m., Wednesday Newton Hy-Vee Club Room

Beggar’s night should be fun for all kids, but for some families it can be a scary event and not just because of the monsters and ghosts strolling along the streets. Food allergies affect 1 in every 13 children, and eating just one piece of candy puts them at risk for potentially life-threatening consequences. The Teal Pumpkin Project raises awareness of food allergies and promotes inclusion of all trick-or-treaters throughout the Halloween season. Join dietitians and paint a pumpkin, taking the pledge to offer non-food treats in addition to candy on beggar’s night this year so every child in our community can have fun.

Our event is free to attend. Participants can purchase a pumpkin or mini pumpkin to paint during the event. To register, call 641-792-7030.

Local News Bond Continued from Page 1A Isaac said he’s met with officials in Waukee and Johnston, both of which have recently held bond elections, about timelines for board and district activities leading up to the election. The committee and FRK Design will have the schematics worked out soon, but delivering the message to the community will take time and manpower.

“I caution the board that we should not delay

in developing the process for how we are going to deliver this message to the community,” Isaac said. “I think the board should start giving serious consideration about how this should be done.”

The general-obligation bond will need a “super majority,” or 60-percent approval, to pass. Johnston squeaked by with a $41-million bond passage to build a new high school in June 2013 after a $51 million proposal had failed the previous year.

Selection committee member Kent Deal told council members Monday that the contract was accepted by both parties Friday afternoon.

ization and a final cost estimate.

Future public meetings to interview and discuss the project with community stakeholder groups will be part of the park master planning. A date is yet to be announced, but stakeholder groups will include community members, as well as representatives from state, county and city governments.

Garrett said an attempt to resurrect a Colfax visioning program — initially started nearly 15 years ago to beautify the entryway of Colfax — is in the work as part of the North Park project. The group working on the visioning process Garrett referred to as the “Unison Group,” which includes the parks board, a community betterment group, the Colfax Hometown Pride Committee and Colfax Main Street.

Waukee relied heavily on social media for the February 2014 passage of its $18.9 million bond; it passed by a vote of 875 to 70.

Nothing was decided by the board Monday regarding hiring an outside firm or individual; Isaac brought it up during his business report, and it was not on the agenda as an action item.

Sheri Benson said she thought of a particular individual that might be able to serve as sort of a project manager for the message about the vote.

A commercial lease agreement with Beck’s Hybrid Seeds has been brokered to store equipment for $9,600 per year in a building on the North Park Property from Nov. 1, 2015 through Oct. 31, 2016. Beck’s has began initial ground grading for a future $15 million seed distribution and retail facility north of Interstate 80 in Colfax. The lease will bring another source of steady income for the nonprofit park project during the life of the lease. The Colfax City attorney and Colfax Mayor Dick Reed also signed off on the lease.

Major water main break in Colfax Newton Daily News A major water main break in Colfax caused a boil order Thursday and low water pressure for the town’s 2,093 residents.

The Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office issued an alert about the main break and boil order around 8:20 a.m., which requires residents to boil water before use.

A spokesperson for the Colfax Public Works Department said Thursday that the main runs under South Walnut Street/Highway 117 South — which is the main arterial street through town. Crews will have to temporarily reduce traffic on High-

way 117 to one lane from East Washington Street to East Broadway Street while city crews excavate and repair the main.

Officials said increased pressure from a scheduled water tower cleaning this week was what likely caused the main to rupture.

According to crews, a similar break occurred during water town cleaning in 2014. Public works could not give a time frame Thursday morning as to when the water service would be fully restored.

Opinion Trending

Writing is storytelling no mater the genre

By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | Oct. 15, 2015

Journalists are first and foremost story tellers. The stories we gather and pass on to our readers are sometimes routed in fact, numbers and sound bites from “authority sources” but they are still tell the story of our community and surrounding world.

So when the Nobel Prize in Literature was given to Belorussian writer Svetlana Alexievich last week, some were surprised, but I was not.

The award was for her work “Voices of Chernobyl: The Oral History of a Nuclear Disaster” telling the stories of survivors of the nuclear disaster in Ukraine in 1986.

When I heard a journalist won the prize, I had to pick up the book.

Alexievich’s selection can and should be interpreted as a political statement by the Nobel committee against a recent show of military force

by Russia — antagonizing the western world. But that face should not diminish the journalist’s worthiness of the prize as an excellent writer and story teller. Although the committee rarely honor’s non-fiction writers with the prize, the narrative struck in “Voices from Chernobyl” reads like a dark novella. If you’re looking for some notso-light, chilly evening reading to consume your October, I highly recommend it.

The way Alexievich told the tales of the survivors and their escape from the area

was both chilling and hopeful. No writer should expect their work to win awards, but it’s a great feeling when someone at the peak of your profession is honored with something as prestigious as a Nobel. It gives you a sense of purpose through the everyday, deadline to deadline grind.

What we do as journalists in this community and what news gathers do throughout all communities in the free world should never be taken for granted and should not be taken lightly.

Journalists are writing the first draft of history, and I remember that when I walk into the Newton Daily News every week and see archive

issues of Newton milestones — some melancholy and some triumphant — framed on the walls of our historic office building.

How journalists tell tragedy is important, because it can have a profound affect on how people react to the rough days in their own lives.

The stories Alexievich gathered from Chernobyl tells how ordinary people fight through extraordinary situations. The depth of detail, dialogue and explanatory journalism to nearly read like a novel, is worthy of this top prize in world-wide writing.

Will this documentary change everything?

Writer Naomi Klein and her filmmaker husband Avi Lewis lucked out with the release of their new documentary, “This Changes Everything.” This film about why humanity must kick our fossil-fuel habit before it wrecks the

By Emily planet arrived Schwartz Greco at an ideal Guest Columnist time.

For one thing, Hillary Clinton belatedly came out against the Keystone XL pipeline. The Democratic Party’s presidential frontrunner called the effort to funnel dirty oil extracted from Canada’s tar sands through six states a “distraction from the important work we have to do to combat climate change.”

And Royal Dutch Shell has put its plans to drill for Arctic oil on ice. Despite pouring $7 billion into that gambit, the company bowed to the bleak outlook for petroleum prices and environmental pressure.

Klein narrates the film, which illustrates many observations she made in her best-selling book with the same title. In print and on the screen, she and Lewis stoke optimism instead of feeding the sense of futility that often hinders climate action.

Lewis and Klein are Canadian, so it’s no surprise that the documentary dwells on Alberta.

That’s the where the long-delayed Keystone XL pipeline, which Clinton embraced when

she served in the Obama administration, would originate.

The film begins with footage of the industrial wasteland that tar sands mining has carved from the Canadian province’s mist-laced boreal forests.

A beige moonscape cross-cut by veins of gooey bitumen looks like abstract art, or mounds of mocha-fudge gelato, until viewers realize they’re glimpsing what used to be a verdant landscape straight out of a Nordic fairytale. Before mining oil from the muck below the forest floor, workers excise what the industry calls the “overburden” by felling primeval forest and scraping away the rich soil that sustains it.

These gut-churning images, coupled with the disgusted response of native people witnessing the destruction of their ancestral lands, brings the long-term costs of powering our economy with fossil fuels into focus.

“This Changes Everything” also zooms in on folks in Montana, India, and everywhere in between on the frontlines of climate resistance. Increasingly, they’re winning battles.

The documentary also brings viewers to Fort McMurray, an Alberta boomtown where hard-drinking workers are becoming millionaires without growing any roots. There, boilermaker Lliam Hildebrand stares nervously into the camera. He labels tar sands mining “barbaric” and says he finds the prospect of shifting to wind and solar energy “exciting.”

After all, “the renewable energy industry would em-

ploy exactly the same workers that the oil sands does,” Hildebrand explains. “Pipefitters, boilermakers, electricians…

There’s absolutely no reason to not make the transition.”

Following a limited release in theaters, the film will become an educational tool anchored to climate change discussions in communities large and small.

Lewis and Klein planned the release to coincide with the final negotiations for a new United Nations climate treaty, which will begin in Paris on Nov. 30.

Their New York City premiere on Oct. 2 coincided with the devastating floods that swamped Columbia, Charleston, and smaller South Carolina towns. More than two feet of rain fell in some areas. All that water killed 17 people, caused more than $1 billion in damage, and raised questions about how frequent this kind of extreme weather will become thanks to climate change.

Less than two weeks earlier, Leonardo di Caprio and other investors had announced in the Big Apple that their effort to move money out of oil, gas, and coal financial assets is gaining steam. The total value of personal and institutional holdings being divested of at least some fossil-fuel exposure has topped $2.6 trillion.

There’s never been a better time to discuss the benefits of ditching oil, gas and coal.

We tied the knot! Our piano player struck up the tune to “Going to the Chapel,” the small gathering of guests s a n g along off key, a n d Ginnie marched By Curt Swarm up the Guest Columnist aisle on a carpet of Kentucky bluegrass. Waiting for the blushing bride were my old college buddy, Joel Boy, as best man, Ginnie’s daughter, Emily, as maid of honor, Pastor Bryan, from the Congregational Church of Mt. Pleasant and, of course, me. Ginnie looked radiant in her sparkly champagne wedding dress. I thought to myself, how can a guy be so lucky?

No, there was no bachelor party the night before. I’m old enough and wise enough to know that a good night’s sleep is much more important.

The setting for our wedding was our new “farm,” (actually an acreage), one mile east of Mt. Pleasant. We had a large tent set up in the backyard for the wedding ceremony, and the nearby gravel road freshly treated with dust control. (We didn’t want our guests choking on dust.)

Butch Biddle, from Butch’s River Rock Cafe in Oakland Mills, catered Iowa’s prize-winning tenderloins. How apropos for National Pork Month. We knew we wouldn’t have any trouble getting people to come if we offered Butch’s tenderloins. Actually, Butch had double hernia surgery three days before the wedding, so his wife, Missy, did the catering. And the tenderloins were delicious.

After stuffing our faces, Ginnie and I departed in Ginnie’s wedding present from me—a brand new, four-wheel drive, John Deere Gator!

Yep. There’s a nice oval driveway on our farm, perfect for four-wheeling the grandkids, so the all-terrain vehicle was a must. And it was

a hit with the wedding guests—dads giving rides to kids and wives.

Having accepted offers on both our houses, we thought it only fitting and proper that our wedding be at “The Farm,” and we spend our first night together as husband and wife, in “The Farm House.”

Furnishings were scanty because we hadn’t fully moved in, but we made do. We had the main essentials, a coffee pot, eggs and bacon and Buddy. What else do you need? Oh, a sunrise.

From our new master bedroom, we watched the sun rise over the cornfields to bless and sanctify our new life together. A nice long ride on the Gator was in order to start the first day off right. Then back home again, jiggity jog, to open wedding gifts and write “thank yous.”

Due to our busy schedules, we can’t have an official honeymoon until spring. At that time, we’re planning a trip to London. So, we spent Sunday moving furniture to “The Farm.”

We still have a lot of moving to do, and our lives are in chaos, spread out over three houses and two towns. We don’t expect life to settle down until after the first of the year. But it will all work out. Stay tuned for a couple of massive garage sales.

Monday was a workday for both of us— Ginnie commuting to Ottumwa for her job at the hospital, and me with my insurance work.

It’s open enrollment time for Medicare. Busy, busy, busy. The pole barn on the farm called to me as I left for my first appointment. “Come do some welding, make some art!”

There will be time for all that when the snow flies, and the north wind howls. The wood stove in the pole barn will feel real nice.

Buddy is adjusting just fine to his new life as a farm dog. The empty nest isn’t quite so empty anymore.

Widower tells mom to butt out of plans with pregnant girlfriend DEAR ABBY: My son, a widower with two boys, ages 6 and 9, has just informed me that his 33-year-old girlfriend, “Karen,” is pregnant and due in five months. He started seeing her three months after his wife died, and they have been an item for eight months. She has been staying at his house every weekend, and plans to move in with him soon.

Karen has never been married and has no children, so she will become a stepmom and a new mom in a short period of time. Neither my son nor Karen seems to realize how difficult it will be to bring a stepparent into this situation, especially with a new baby on the way. One of the boys will have to give up his bedroom when the baby arrives. I’m concerned that the boys will be overwhelmed by this, when they have not yet been able to effectively deal with the death of their mother.

I think this relationship has moved too fast and they are clueless about how all this will affect the boys. My son has told me I need to “get over it, it’s his life and his kids.” Is there anything I can do to help the boys process all of this and adjust to the new situation? — WISE LADY IN THE SOUTH DEAR WISE LADY: Nowhere in your letter have you mentioned that the boys are depressed or acting out. They probably like Karen or the relationship wouldn’t have lasted as long as it has.

It appears that in trying to be helpful you may have come across as negative or judgmental. If that’s true, apologize to your son and suggest that if the adjustment becomes difficult for his boys, a family therapist could help to nip any problems in the bud. Then cross your fingers and hope it isn’t necessary.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I have been married 10 years. Half of his family are smokers. Every year, there has been a family gathering at his dad’s house. Since the birth of my first child, smoking has become forbidden in that home.

This year, however, the party will be held at the home of another where smoking will be permitted. I can’t handle smoke. It gives me a sore throat and I cough for a week after exposure.

Because of my reaction and for the health of my children, I don’t want to attend. (When we get home we have to immediately shower and launder our clothing to get rid of the smell.)

My husband is adamant that we SHOULD attend and bring the kids.

He was raised around smoking and doesn’t see what the “big deal” is. What can I say or do to convince him not to force me and our children to be exposed to the health hazards of secondhand smoke? Am I being unreasonable because it’s only one night a year? — HATER OF SMOKING IN WEST VIRGINIA DEAR HATER OF SMOKING: I think so. Much as you might like, you can’t raise your children in a bubble. I would hate to see you isolate your children from their aunts, uncles, cousins and any grandparents who are still alive during their once-a-year holiday celebration.

If you would prefer not to attend because you can’t stand the smell of the smoke, stay home. But do not prevent your children from knowing the family. Assuming they don’t have health issues, one evening of exposure to cigarette smoke shouldn’t be harmful.

The incident occurred around 4 p.m.

Wednesday on the east side of Council Bluffs.

Dubuque attorney gets probation in theft case DUBUQUE — A 45-year-old Dubuque attorney has been given two years of probation in a theft case. Heather Norman was sentenced on Wednesday. She’d pleaded guilty.

Ron Paul blames government for timing of ex-aides’ charges DES MOINES (AP) — The government purposely announced charges against Ron Paul’s ex-aides shortly before his son, Rand Paul, was scheduled to appear in a national debate for the Republican presidential nomination, the former Texas congressman asserted in testimony Wednesday in federal court in Iowa.

Ron Paul told jurors in Des Moines he was suspicious of the timing of the indictment’s unsealing of charges against Jesse Benton and Dimitri Kesari, two aides who worked for his 2012 presidential campaign. It was unsealed in August, one day before Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul was set to appear onstage at the Republican Party’s first debate of the

No question left behind

2016 campaign.

“I don’t consider that a coincidence,” Ron Paul said.

Asked about Ron Paul’s testimony, Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr said the department would decline to comment outside of court during the trial.

Prosecutors say Benton and Kesari concealed payments totaling $73,000 to former Iowa Sen. Kent Sorenson after the lawmaker jumped from the Michele Bachmann campaign to the Ron Paul campaign just days before the January 2012 Iowa caucuses. Paul finished third in the Iowa caucuses behind former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum and the eventual Republican nominee, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

Chief Justice Cady: ‘We are Iowans helping Iowans solve disputes’ Newton Daily News

NDN: When you addressed the Iowa Legislature in January one highlight of your speech was about racial disparities in our criminal justice system.

How staggering is this problem and what can be done to stop it?

Over the past four years the Iowa Supreme Court has traveled to 18 communities and visited 107 schools in an effort to educate the public about the judicial system. On Wednesday, Chief Justice Mark Cady met with the Newton Daily News before hearing arguments at Newton High School.

NDN: Did the Iowa Supreme Court model its traveling court system after another state?

Cady: When we started this, it wasn’t because we were building on what other people were doing, but what’s interesting is that other people are building on what we’ve been doing.

It’s not infrequent for another state to contact us to find out more about what we are doing. Whenever I go to a conference around the country I am asked about what we are doing here in Iowa. I Skyped with the Kansas Supreme Court ... because the chief justice down there wanted to start the process. His court was reluctant, so we did that, and they started theirs about a few months ago.

They went to a junior college and they had a crowd of 1,400 people show up. They were all ecstatic.

NDN: What are some of the largest benefits to the traveling court model when hearing oral arguments?

Cady: The benefit begins with us. It’s really a nice opportunity for us to gain a better understanding and appreciation of what Iowans want and need as a part of their court system. We’re all about building a court system that works for Iowans and meets their needs. So you’re seeing this become a lot more electronic. We’re totally paperless, litigants can access everything online from computers and attorneys, of course, are

Mike Mendenhall/Daily News Chief Justice Mark Cady discusses the role of the Iowa Supreme Court with the Newton Daily News on Wednesday.

doing the same thing.

We’ve understood that Iowans want a court system that is open and transparent. We are trying to do everything we can to accommodate that. We’ve learned that people want a court system that operates on time, is efficient yet above all does its work in a way that’s going to promote the justice that we exist for. ... I’m very convinced the more people see the court system, the more they will see and understand the value of our court system.

to talk about is the existence of our court system and how it operates in the larger scheme of government. Sometimes we tend to overlook that our court system is one of our three branches of government, and it has a very important and distinct role to play in the operation of our government. We do it in a very different way, on purpose, and function in a very different way on purpose. ... We are Iowans helping other Iowans solve disputes.

A lot of questions are addressed are, how is it that you relate to us?

Coming out into the communities and having our court hearings in their communities help explain how we function in everyone’s lives.

NDN: On these trips to hear oral arguments does the public knowledge level of how the court functions and interest level tend to vary in different parts of the state?

NDN: How common is it for state-level supreme court decisions to have an impact on federal and/or appellate court opinions on a similar issues?

Cady: When we started out and went to Cedar Rapids to a big community and that was one of the areas we had the least people show up. We’ve been averaging between 200 to 400 people. It’s the smaller communities that bring out the larger numbers.

I think the interest level is high.

Cady: It really depends on the nature of the case. Under our structure our federal constitution is the supreme body of law and each state has its own constitution, and the states can’t interpret their own constitution in a way that’s going to have any lesser rights than are provided for under the federal constitution. But, we can interpret our constitution to provide greater rights. Oftentimes

NDN: What are the most common questions you hear from the general public about your profession?

Cady: It might depend on what sort of case is out there and lingering, but what I like

VOTE

courts, whether federal or state, when they are interpreting the constitution will look to other jurisdictions to help decide that interpretation.

It’s not that a state court is leading the way, but it is a rich source of information to decide similar questions.

NDN: In determining whether the court will hear a case, are personal factors weighed, and how are those weighed versus a strict set of Constitutional questions?

Cady: Every Iowan that brings a case into our court system, which starts out in your community, those are disputes that are generated

by Iowans. Those disputes that come from our communities are decided by a district court judge and everyone under our system has a right to an appeal.

The appeal comes to the Iowa Supreme Court.

On an annual basis, we’ll get maybe 2,000 appeals. We have an intermediate court of appeals that we transfer most of those cases to for them to decide. We take those cases that involve the interpretation of our constitution, a claim involving the interpretation of a statute ... a case involving an important public policy, a case involving first impression ... and we take all attorney disciplinary actions and decide those.

Those are the five areas that we focus on.

• NOVEMBER 3

Cady: As the Chief Justice of our Supreme Court ... I think it’s important that when an issue arises within our branch of government ... I have a responsibility to inform others of that issue. Because in the end, justice is what we give each other. We have this government for the purpose of making us better, providing a better place, being a more perfect union so it’s important that I speak out on issues that are inconsistent with that mission. ... Racial disparity is a problem that first showed itself in our criminal justice system.

The fact that our data all of the sudden reveals that there is proportionately eight times more African-Americans being arrested for drug offenses in this state, there’s proportionally eight times more African-Americans being sentenced to prisons in our state — I thought it was my responsibility to tell the Legislature that we have a problem. It’s a problem that all of us own. It’s a problem that has to be understood — I don’t have the answers, I don’t have the solutions. But I know that I have a voice, and my voice needs to be one of justice and it needs to be one of let’s start looking at this and see if we can do something about it.

I’ve been very pleased with what has happened since this time — it’s been a call to action. I think it’s important to our court system because it effects a value that is very much a part of our court system — the value of equality. ...

Within our branch of government we are doing everything we can.

We are in the middle of statewide education for all judges at all levels on

the issue of racial disparity and implied bias.

If we’re going to find solutions we’re going to have to understand what the issue is all about ... Iowa unfortunately almost leads the nation in the amount of disproportionately that there is, and we can’t at the same time be leading the nation in finding a solution.

NDN: Following the unanimous Iowa Supreme Court ruling that legalized samesex marriage in 2009, the next retention election became politicized and ultimately resulted in three justices being ousted.

As the author of the opinion, what do you expect from your upcoming retention vote in 2016?

Cady: I don’t have control over what could be thrown at me or others. I’m going to do what I’ve always done.

I’ve been a judge for over 30 years. I focus on doing my work and doing it in a way that is expected to be done under a constitutional form of governing. I do my work consistent with the oath I took, and every judge takes.

We do it without fear or favor, we do it to support the constitution that this branch of government is set up to support. Obviously us going out on the road, talking to schools and showing the value of our court system to our communities across the state — I hope that creates a better understanding of what we do. You’re not going to see me campaigning or raising money. Do I have a constitutional right to do so? Yes I do. ... But, I’m not going to compromise my standards even in the event that someone might want to come in and ... try to take me out or use that for some advantage for them. I’m going to keep doing my work, and I think our court will continue to do what we do.

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

Pregame Outlook —

Cardinals back into district play against Blue Jays

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News There’s no secret to winning football games. Newton High’s Cardinals know that fact. Another fact is to win, a team needs to play a complete, consistent game against opponents. The Cardinals recognize that also.

“We need to play a complete game. We haven’t been consistent. We’ve seen it at times — a good drive on offense or a big stop on defense, but we haven’t put it together for four quarters,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said.

“As coaches, we’ve been striving for our guys to put together a solid defensive effort and match that with putting up some points and get over the hump.”

Newton (0-7) steps back into Class 3A District 6 play for its final two games of the season. The Cardinals go into Friday’s at Bondurant-Farrar at 0-4 in district action. It is a 7:30 p.m. kickoff at the BlueJays’ stadium in Bondurant.

The BlueJays are in the middle of a playoff spot run in the district. Gilbert sits atop District 6 at 4-0 followed by Ballard at 3-1. Bondurant-Farrar and Benton are both 3-2, but Benton is in non-district action this week.

Newton faces the top passing offense of the district led by senior quarterback Dylon Story and senior receiver Payton Duit. The Jays’ top rusher is senior Jarrid Clark, who is the team’s No. 2 receiver and leading scorer.

Story is the No. 1 quarterback in District 6, completing 79-of-125 passes for 1,295 yards. He has 11 touchdown passes and two interceptions.

Duit ranks No. 1 on the district receiving list, making 46 catches for 683 yards, averaging almost 15 yards a catch. He has five touchdown catches.

Friday’s game will feature the No. 4 and No. 5 rushers in the district in Newton senior Joseph Banfield and B-F’s

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Josh Gulling (3) gets help from several Cardinal teammates on this tackle in last Friday’s game against Pella. The Cardinals are out to tackle the Bondurant-Farrar BlueJays on Friday in Class 3A District 6 play at Bondurant.

Clark, respectively. Banfield has gained 773 yards on 152 carries while Clark has 690 yards on 108 carries. Clark has made 18 receptions for 436 yards.

Banfield has scored nine touchdowns for the Cardinals. He has a kickoff return for a touchdown and a twopoint conversion, putting him fifth in the district in scoring with 62 points.

Clark had seven rushing touchdowns and five receiving touchdowns as he sits No. 2 in scoring in District 6 with 72 points.

“Bondurant-Farrar has a good quarterback, and they

like to get Duit in one-on-one situation as their top receiver.

He is athletic and can make plays in the passing game,” Ergenbright said. “Their top running back is good as well.”

Stopping the run has been problematic for the Cardinals this season. Ergenbright said his team is building on its solid performance in curtailing top-ranked Pella’s run game last week in a non-district loss.

“We’ve had trouble stopping the run, but we got a few guys back in the defensive lineup last week — Alex Miller and Ryan Constant were back and it made a difference. We grew up a little bit

as a team against Pella, both defensively and offensively,” Ergenbright said.

Newton has senior running back Dalton Nevels, who has 418 yards on 64 carries, to share in the rushing attack with Banfield. Sophomore quarterback Garrett Sturtz is 31-of 54 passing for 247 yards with two touchdown passes and six interceptions.

Banfield has caught 10 passes for 59 yards and senior tight end Bryce Tish has nine receptions for 93 yards.

Two seniors will see action in the defensive backfield again. Cole Peters, who was injured in the opener, and

Jwan Roush, who has been out since the second game, are coming off the injured list to play Friday. Newton will be closer than it has been all season to playing at full force on both sides of the football.

“For us to be successful Friday, we need to run the ball, protect Garrett (Sturtz) long enough to get our passing game going. We need to control the ball and score,” Ergenbright said. “I like the scheme we have in place for this week.”

Raiders ready to put best team back on the field

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s football team was cruising along. The Raiders began the season 4-0 and were thought to once again be a contender in Class 2A. Then, adversity hit.

Four starters were suspended a few hours before the team faced rival Prairie City-Monroe, standout wide receiver Brady Stover was injured during the loss to the Mustangs and quarterbacks Hunter McWhirter and Brad Ritter were both injured during a win over Clarke.

The Raiders hit rock bottom when they struggled through a 63-6 loss to No. 1 Albia last week.

However, with two weeks left in the season, there is still plenty to play for. The Raiders are still in the hunt for a home playoff game, but a win Friday would guarantee the three seed out of District 7.

CMB will as healthy in its Week 8 game at North Polk then it has been since the opening week of the season.

Stover and McWhirter are both expected to return from injury, while Blake Coughenour, Tucker Maxwell, Bailey Holgate and John Newton are slated to return from a three-game disciplinary suspension, according to Luther. Ritter is not expected to play Friday after injuring his ankle.

“We are excited to see what happens these last few games with our full team intact,” CMB coach Rob Luther said. “When we were full strength, we were undefeated. Our team will look entirely different than it has the past few weeks. There is still time

Area prep football game previews to get some momentum for the playoffs.”

Coughenour was one of the top rushers in 2A before missing the past three games. Maxwell will be a welcomed addition at wide receiver and in the defensive backfield. Newton also starts in the defensive secondary and Holgate is the starting kicker.

Getting those four players back will certainly help turn things around. Stover and McWhirter also will boost the Raiders on both sides of the ball.

The Raiders took some lumps without seven starters. The loss to Albia was such a bummer that the coaching staff decided to bury the film, and the team hasn’t mentioned the Blue Demons since the loss.

“We are moving on from the last three weeks,” Luther said. “We got our guys back and we need to focus on the rest of the season. North Polk is a good football team. They have our full attention.”

North Polk’s offense features Max Karpinske, who ranks third in 2A in passing yards with 1,484 and ninth in touchdown passes with nine.

Wide receiver Matt Cox was an all-stater last year and Luther said he’s as good a wideout as the Raiders will face this year. Cox is third in 2A with 31 catches and fifth in receiving yards with 626.

Kapinske has rushed for a team-high 331 yards and six scores. Adam Moxley has 11 receptions and five have gone for touchdowns.

The Comets’ defense is led by Michael Ballard, who has 41 tackles. Grant Rampton has three interceptions.

“North Polk is well-coached and it always has a great defense,” Luther said. “Our No. 1 concern is to protect the ball and we’ll need to cut down on the big plays. They are a big-play team.”

A common non-district opponent this year is Roland-Story. CMB knocked off the Norse, 48-

30, in Week 2, while Roland-Story defeated North Polk, 23-21, in Week 5.

“We won’t look much into that game for them,” Luther said. “They had some injuries, too. We just have to take care of ourselves and do what we do.”

North Polk controls its own destiny for a No. 2 seed. After hosting CMB this week, the Comets head to Prairie City-Monroe in Week 9.

Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Alleman.

Prairie City-Monroe (6-1, 4-0) at No. 1 Albia (7-0, 4-0), 7:30 p.m.

The two remaining teams with undefeated records in Class 2A District 7 will square off in Albia this week.

PCM will take its six consecutive wins on the road and another win would put the Mustangs in prime position to claim the district championship.

Logan Gilman is second in 2A with 1,563 passing yards and 18 touchdowns, while Lucas Greiner is seventh in catches (35), seventh in receiving yards (545) and third in touchdowns (10).

Noah Clark also has 28 catches, 496 receiving yards and seven scores.

And when PCM doesn’t want to throw it, it can hand it off to Logan Littrell, who has rushed for 610 yards and 11 scores.

Chase Wilkie leads 2A with 23 touchbacks in 46 kickoff attempts. He is 35-of-37 in extra points and 2-of-2 in field goals. Reid Jenkins leads the defense with 47.5 tackles.

Albia’s closest game this season was a 62-21 win over Pella Christian. In the other six wins, the Blue Demons have outscored their opponents 313-26.

Cueto tosses gem as Royals clinch ALCS berth KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Johnny Cueto delivered a masterpiece on his biggest stage yet, pitching eight dominant innings Wednesday night and leading the resilient Kansas City Royals to a 7-2 victory over the Houston Astros and back to the American League Championship Series.

Cueto allowed two hits, a single by Evan Gattis followed

by Luis Valbuena’s second-inning homer, before retiring the final 19 batters he faced.

He struck out eight without a walk in the kind of clutch performance the Royals expected when they traded for him.

When Wade Davis breezed through the ninth, the Royals poured onto the field to celebrate.

The defending AL champs will host the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 1 on Friday night.

The teams have met once before in the ALCS with the Royals winning in seven games in 1985 — they would go on

to beat the St. Louis Cardinals for their only World Series triumph.

“Johnny Cueto was unbelievable,” Royals manager Ned Yost said. “He knew the magCueto nitude of this game. I think we all did. And he came out from the first pitch and had everything going.”

Still, the Royals trailed 2-1 in the fifth when Alex Rios led yet another comeback with a go-ahead, two-run double.

Eric Hosmer and Ben Zobrist also drove in runs, while Kendrys Morales capped the festive night with a three-run homer off Dallas Keuchel in the eighth to put it away.

“The good version of Johnny Cueto is really tough,” Astros manager A.J. Hinch said.

“Hats off to him. He pitched

a great game. ... We didn’t scratch much off him.”

Collin McHugh (1-1), who won the divisional series opener for Houston, allowed three runs in four-plus innings. His bullpen fared little better just two days after it blew a fourrun, eighth-inning lead to send the series back to Kauffman Stadium for Game 5.

Kansas City has now won 10 of its last 13 playoff games at home.

The Astros actually seemed poised after their meltdown Sunday, bolting to the lead in front of a charged Kansas City crowd thanks to a rare series of Royals defensive lapses.

With two outs in the second, Gattis sent a slow hopper down the line that third baseman Mike Moustakas fielded cleanly. But with plenty of time, his throw across the infield went wide, and first baseman Eric Hosmer had the ball pop from his glove trying to

make a swipe tag.

On the next pitch, Valbuena sent his two-run homer streaking into the Astros bullpen.

It wasn’t until the fourth that Kansas City got a run back, on back-to-back singles

by Cain and Hosmer. But by the fifth, the Royals had figured out McHugh’s darting curveball.

Salvador Perez was hit by a pitch, and Alex Gordon hit a ground-rule double to right.

Hinch brought in Mike Fiers in relief, and Rios sent a double bouncing down the chalk of the third-base line, scoring two runs and giving the Royals the lead.

Following a sacrifice bunt, Zobrist’s lazy sacrifice fly made it 4-2.

That was plenty of support for Cueto, who was acquired from the Reds for a package of left-handed prospects just before the July 31 trade deadline precisely for moments like this.

Blue Jays beat Rangers, advance to ALCS TORONTO (AP) — The Toronto Blue Jays clinched their first trip to the American League Championship Series since 1993, overcoming one of the most bizarre plays in playoff history when Jose Bautista hit a three-run homer after three Texas Rangers errors for a 6-3 victory Wednesday in the deciding Game 5 of the Division Series.

The Blue Jays became the third team to win a best-offive series after losing the first two games at home. They play at Kansas City Friday night in Game 1 of the ALCS. Bautista’s homer capped an event-filled, 53-minute seventh inning that took a turn when Toronto catcher Russell Martin’s throw back to the pitcher deflected off batter Shin-Soo Choo and allowed the tiebreaking to score.

The Blue Jays filed a protest after an umpire review ruled

Prep previews Continued from Page 1B Carter Isley is second in 2A with 1,263 rushing yards and first in rushing touchdowns with 23. Blake Bayer leads 2A with seven interceptions and he has thrown for 303 yards and four scores on offense.

Blake Lawless has 61 tackles and three interceptions.

No. 2 BGM (7-0, 5-0) at Colfax-Mingo (6-1, 5-0), 7 p.m.

The Tigerhawks can do no worse than the No. 2 seed in Class A District 7, but they can win the district title with a victory over second-ranked BGM, which has scored at least 44 points in every district game this year.

Colfax-Mingo has won six straight games, and its wideopen, high-powered offense is the biggest reason.

Jared Myers leads all classes with 2,113 passing yards. He is tied for first with 24 touchdown passes and that number also sets a new single-season record at the school.

Some other single-season records are close to falling, too.

Rougned Odor was allowed to cross home plate. Toronto fans pelted the field with debris during the 18-minute delay.

The Rangers started the bottom half by making three straight errors, and Toronto rallied.

Roberto Osuna got the final five outs for his first postseason save.

Osuna turned toward the outfield after striking out Wil Venable, looked to the sky and was mobbed by his teammates as jubilant fans cheered.

After Edwin Encarnacion tied it 2-all with a second-deck drive off tough-luck loser Cole Hamels in the sixth, Odor led off the seventh with a single and went to third on a sacrifice and groundout.

With Choo up, Martin’s throw back to reliever Aaron Sanchez deflected off Choo and dribbled toward third base.

Home plate umpire Dale Scott initially ruled it a dead ball

but, after Rangers manager Jeff Banister questioned the call, the umpires huddled and Odor was sent home.

Fans littered the field with objects during the delay as umpires sorted out a play that is certain to rank up there with Derek Jeter’s Jeffrey Maier homer or Reggie Jackson’s hip block of a throw as one of the craziest in the postseason.

According to rule Major League Baseball rule 6.03(a)(3), the batter is not to be charged with interfering with the catcher if the batter is still in the batter’s box and doesn’t make a movement to block or disrupt the throw.

This type of play is not subject to manager’s review but Scott, the crew chief, after discussing the ruling with Blue Jays manager John Gibbons, called an umpire’s review. After a delay of 2 minutes, 32 seconds, the

Jacob Lietz needs five catches to set a single-season school record in receptions, Blake Summy needs two receiving touchdowns to set a single-season record, and Colin Lourens needs 1.5 sacks to set a new single-season mark.

Lietz’s 48 catches leads Class A, his 642 yards ranks second and he is third with 77.5 tackles. Summy is third in receiving yards, tied for fifth in catches and fourth in touchdown catches. Lourens is tied with Summy with 31 catches.

BGM will bring a two-dimensional offensive attack.

Colton Massengale is fourth in Class A with 1,146 rushing yards and tied for second with 19 rushing touchdowns, but Jayce Knight has 571 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns on just 17 catches. He also leads Class A with a 30 yards per catch average.

Kaiden Fiebelkorn leads the defense with four interceptions, and kicker Andrew Crady has the most touchbacks in Class A. Lynnville-Sully (4-3, 3-2) at North Mahaska (2-5. 1-4), 7 p.m.

A win over North Mahaska on Friday will give the Hawks the inside track to the district’s No. 3 seed.

Lynnville-Sully, which has won three of its last four games, can lock up the No. 3 seed with a road win over the Warhawks and then a home win over

play stood and fans continued to throw objects on the field.

The Blue Jays filed a protest.

No need for the paperwork, though.

The Rangers made three consecutive errors to start the bottom half of the inning. Bautista finished it by hittting a towering drive into the second deck, glaring at Dyson as he stood at home plate to admire his go-ahead drive, enthusiastically flipping his bat away.

Texas opened the scoring in the first when Delino DeShields scored on a fielder’s choice by Prince Fielder. Choo homered off Marcus Stroman in the third to make it 2-0.

Choo’s homer was the first for the Rangers since Odor connected off David Price in the seventh inning of Game 1.

Toronto cut the deficit in half in the third on Bautista’s twoout double.

Belle Plaine in Week 9.

Sage Ehresman returned from an injury last week to lead the Hawks to an easy win over GMG. He has 649 rushing yards and 11 touchdowns this year.

Dylan Roozeboom leads the defense with 53 tackles, Kobe Fisk is tied for fourth in Class A with four interceptions, and Jesse Van Wyk is tied for third with three fumble recoveries.

North Mahaska has lost four of its last five games and its only district win came against GMG. Brandt Fleener has thrown for 298 yards and four touchdowns, while Jakob Bortell has rushed for 1,048 yards and eight scores. Cole Rozendaal has 106 receiving yards and four touchdowns on six catches, while Cole Spoelstra leads the defense with 35.5 tackles.

BGM (5-0) and Colfax-Mingo (5-0) have locked up the top two spots in the district. Lynnville-Sully (3-2), Montezuma (3-2) and Belle Plaine (2-3) are playing for the final two playoff spots.

The Hawks have already defeated Montezuma, and the Braves will host top-ranked BGM in Week 9.

Astrograph

There may be many versions of the truth, but now only one will shine like a beacon under the Scorpio moon. Thoughtful assimilation of recent events is called for. This Scorpio lunar energy will look beyond what happened into what it means. Symbols will pop out.

The underlying motivation for actions suddenly will be obvious.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 15). Just because you’ve lived your life doesn’t mean you know it. You’ll learn the reasons for many previously misunderstood events.

Relationships get healed, and things you wanted will finally

be yours. November and June are your lucky months for love. January and March bring money. Capricorn and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 7, 15, 39, 33 and 20.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Maybe you’re watching to see what happens, and that is not the same, never the same, as just waiting around. Observation is the art of confident people.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Each person has a way of expressing and interpreting love that is unique to his or her own processing system.

Today, you feel love in the warmth of physical touch.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You have something fresh to add to the mix and shouldn’t hesitate for a moment to add it. Be confident. The world needs your input. Vitality will sweep over you the moment you put your two cents in.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

If you shrink from doing what’s already been done, you’ll shrink from everything.

So don’t back off. Seek a spot in what’s been done, and do it better (or more you-like), and you’ll be a hit.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). No, this will not happen all in one day. You have to piece it out.

Plan to do a little chunk of this thing today, tomorrow, the next day and the next. Be in it for the long haul.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Often you do what you’re supposed to do and then don’t give yourself credit for the win. In your mind, it’s all in a day’s work. Well, that’s not everybody’s day. Give yourself the win!

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Accidental success is a rare occasion, but this is one of those. You’ll land in it. Even better, you’ll recognize that you’ve landed in it! These are the good ol’ days.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

were to release your beliefs about being solid, you could walk through walls. Bruises prove otherwise. Today you’ll have one foot in the ether, one firmly planted on the ground.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). No one, not even the actors who have played James Bond, is actually James Bond. And yet, with your current sophistication, class and international spy-like reflexes, you’ll come close.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your adventurous side will be prevalent. Whatever negative feelings or disappointments you experience are immediately routed into daring action.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You had a natural talent for your work, and over time, you’ve become quite the expert. You’ll command a high fee for what you do, which will help several people at once.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You use your head, your gut, your talk, everything you’ve got to make today’s arrangement work. You might have to dance around the issues a few times, but it’s all in good fun.
