Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Patrick Payton speaks during Thursday’s candidate forum as Rep. Greg Heartsill, left, and Martin Duffy, right, look on. The forum, which featured both Iowa House and Jasper County Board of Supervisors candidates, was sponsored by the League of Women Voters and the Newton Daily News.

Challengers take a few jabs during forum

The Racial Harmony and Justice Working Group is hosting a forum Tuesday to discuss responses of a recent community survey.

Beginning at 7 p.m. at DMACC, the group will share its findings from the survey and ask for the public’s feedback on their responses.

“The main purpose of the forum is to continue gathering more information about our community and where we might invest our resources and our time in doing this work,” group organizer Jessica Petersen said.

Capacity crowd fills council Park Board to lower chambers for election event Westwood green

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News On the many issues brought up by voters during the Iowa House portion of Thursday’s political candidate forum, sponsored by the League of Women Voters and the Newton Daily News, candidates politely disagreed, divided largely along party lines.

However, on a few issues, Republican candidate Patrick Payton took jabs at the fundraising and lack of business experience of his Democratic challenger for the Iowa House District 29 seat, Wes Breckenridge. Democratic challenger Marty Duffy took a few more low-key swings at Republican incumbent House District 28 Rep. Greg Heartsill.

“I’m sure Mr. Breckenridge is a very good police officer, and that’s where he ought to stay,” Payton said in his closing statement. “He’s always been in gov-

ernment work, and would still be doing so in the legislature. He’s never had to hire or fire anyone, or sign a paycheck. I’ve done those things. If you want someone who’s bought and paid for by the PACs and the lobbyists, then he’s who you should elect. But if you want someone who doesn’t owe a dime of loyalty to any PAC to lobbyists, and knows how to make tough decisions, then I’m your candidate.”

Breckenridge and Payton sparred over a few issues — most notably water quality and public education funding — as the two Newton residents vied to show the capacity crowd in the Newton City Council Chambers who should be elected to represent Iowa House District 29. Duffy, the Democratic from Knoxville trying to unseat Heartsill in House District 28, went more after the business-as-usual nature of state government rather than Heartsill’s personal track record.

Incumbent Dan Kelley, who lost the Democratic primary to Breckenridge in June before filing to run as a third party candidate, was invited to Thursday’s forum, but didn’t attend.

Heartsill said he was “not a fan of the speed” with which Gov. Terry Branstad’s administration ushered in the transition to three private managed-care Medicaid organizations. He also answered a question about where budget cuts could take place by saying he wasn’t sure.

“We’re giving about 55 percent of the state budget to K-12 education — including hundreds of millions of dollars in increases over the past several years — and another 24 percent to health and human services,” Heartsill said. “And some folks want those percentages to be higher. We’re already at less than a fifth of the budget for everything else.”

FORUM | 10A

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News One of the main driving forces behind the Newton Community School District’s recent reconfiguration has been trying to keep class sizes small in the lowest grades.

One of the items set to for discussion only at Monday’s regular NCSD Board of Education meeting will be consideration of adding

a board policy regarding class and grade-level size goals within the district.

Monday’s meeting is set for 6:30 p.m. at the EJH Beard Administration Center.

Another item to be discussed will be campus and principal goals, along with an attendance and enrollment summary. Iowa determines annual certified enrollment for each district — the main factor

in the state per-student funding formula — from an Oct. 1 “snapshot” of each district’s enrollment numbers.

The board will also acknowledge a recent financial donation from the Knights of Columbus and a lumber donation from Lenny Woythaler.

The board will consider fundraiser requests from the Newton High School Drama Club, the NHS GayStraight Alliance, NHS Special Olympics, Music NCSD | 3A

National TTT nonprofit raises funds for underprivileged girls

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Newton’s chapter of a national organization has been raising funds this fall for what it hopes will be another year of summer smiles.

The National TTT Society is a nonprofit, philanthropic organization of women with local chapters across the U.S., focused on one project: to provide an educational camping experience for underprivileged girls who might not otherwise have the opportunity. It’s based in Mount Pleasant and functions through volunteer women who coordinate sales, shows, golf tournaments, quilt auctions and other fundraisers.

Newton has two chapters, named with letters that indicate the age of the organization. The K and EN chapters, which combined about 10 years ago, make up the “K-EN” chapter, while Chapter CV, formed in 1957, also serves girls in the Newton area.

For an age comparison, the long-ago established Letts, Iowa chapter goes by the single letter “T.” Arlene Dobesh, the outgoing president of Chapter CV, said TTT volunteers talk with nurses at local elementary schools each year to discreetly find out which girls might be good candidates in need of the program. TTT covers the expenses of summer camp, along with a precamp shopping trip where volunteers purchase and help pick out clothing and camping supplies and equipment.

Dobesh said while it’s sometimes sad to learn

Sunday: 3 to 5 p.m., cheerleading banquet at Newton High School.

what types of life experiences are missing in the lives of some children, it’s rewarding to help put that kind of experience into the lives of girls in need.

“Within the past couple of years, while shopping for clothes, a girl was asked what sort of shopping she’d done in the past,” Dobesh said. “The girl said she’d never had new clothes purchased for her. She’d only had handme-downs, and had never had clothes bought just for her.”

Three Newton-area girls who had just completed the fourth grade — Anastacia Franco and twins Jocelyn Sanders and Kiya Sanders — were able to attend camp this year thanks to the fundraising of Chapter CV. The chapter sends girls to Camp Wyoming, located about halfway between Maquo-

keta and Anamosa, where archery and many other typical camp activities are made available during their weeklong stay.

The number of girls sent to camp each year varies slightly each year, depending on the chapter’s fundraising success. The TTT program is not affiliated with any church, camp or other organizations.

Chapter CV fundraiser sells an assortment of nuts both plain and chocolate-covered. We are currently in the middle of our fundraiser project and have nuts available for sale. Chapter K-EN will soon be selling cheese balls as a fundraiser.

The girls and women interact on other occasions besides shopping. The volunteers contact them on their birthdays and at Christmas. Campers are eligible to receive scholar-

Some girls who benefit from the program go on to volunteer with TTT once they are older.

Dobesh said the girls not only form lasting, healthy bonds with peers and staff or volunteers at summer camps, but also express their appreciation to the hometown women who help make their camp experiences possible.

“It’s so precious to hear about their experiences,” Dobesh said. “When we asked one girl about her favorite part of the experience, she said ‘getting to know you ladies.’”

“We’re a little bit more than the Des Moines courses, which makes this a little bit better value. Instead Sponseller of being two bucks cheaper, we are four or five, maybe six bucks cheaper so that makes it more worth it for them to come, hopefully,” Sponseller said.

Golf range, golf cart and golf membership rates will remain the same.

Staff and administration wanted to make green fees more affordable without los-

ing value to its membership discount.

“Our memberships are still a very good bargain. It still makes it worth it to get the membership. If we lowered fees a little bit more it might be a different story,” Sponseller said.

Board member Marc Jackson is a member at Westwood Golf Course. He said green fees, such as a 9 hole week day or weekend rate, is a great fit for a beginner or occasional golfer.

“I think this is really attractive for the new guy trying to learn the sport. It’s very competitive with all the other courses, and that’s the number one thing we need to do right now is be competi-

tive with everybody,” Jackson said.

Sponseller said programs implemented in recent years such as the young professional adult and couples memberships have been beneficial to the golf course. Twilight golf and the punch pass card are also a popular option for golfers.

Next year, for a person who doesn’t have a lot of time to play each year, they can use the punch pass and get 10 rounds of golf with a cart for $220. That’s an attractive deal for golfers, Sponseller said.

Park board members and golf administration would like to brainstorm ideas on special discounts, incentives and other ways to increase

The final portion of the evening will be audience participation. People can share about why they responded to questions they way they did or share stories or experiences they have had in the community.

The Black Angel

Write On Kate Malott

Editor’s Note: This column originally published Oct. 30, 2015. ast of downtown Iowa City lies an eerily old and lonely red brick road called Brown Street, and at the end of the quiet road stands a tall black metal gate with white stone pillars. The unlatched entrance gate creeks and cries as the wind blows it open and leads guests into the 45 acre rolling hills of Oakland Cemetery.

The cemetery haunts as much as it invites. It’s home to more than 25,000 departed souls. Notable Iowans Lucas, Kirkwood and Hancher reside there as well as my not so famous father, Virgil Lee Malott Jr. As the burnt orange maple leaves twirl their way to the ground, just as the humans who came before, this cloudy, dark, damp autumn reminds me of the sea of Oakland graves are easy to get lost in.

E

Its winding roads quickly pull you in like quicksand and you find yourself at the center of this lush, shaded picturesque place standing at the feet of a large shadowing statued woman. There she stands — the Black Angel — a beautiful, curvy, mesmerizing goddess who epitomizes mystery and wonder.

Oakland was established in 1843, four years before the establishment of its great state university, and the Black Angel goes back more than 100 years to 1913.

Teresa Feldevert, an immigrant from the Czech Republic and Slovakia area, lost her son, Edward Dolezal, who died in Iowa City in 1891. Teresa Feldevert commissioned a bronze angel statue to be made by sculptor Mario Korbel, and it was transported to Iowa City in 1913. The 10foot statue, which stands atop a four-foot

stone was placed in Oakland to honor and lay to rest the ashes of her son, her second husband Nicholas Feldevert and later herself. The monument displays Teresa Feldevert’s birth date, but there is no sign of her death date.

The missing date of death might have started the legend but her change in appearance certainly added to its wonder.

The bronze Black Angel has changed color from a brilliant bronze tone to an aqua green patina to now nearly all black. This is due to oxidation, however, her stone turned black is said to cause curse to those who touch it. Some say those who touch her are cursed with illness, a loss of love or even death.

One well-known story is of four boys who urinated on the monument and shortly after died in a car wreck. Another story is of a young man who used a hacksaw to cut off the thumb and shortly after lost his mind and was found dead in the Chicago River.

With one wing down, relaxed and the other raised, pointed straight out, she

stands with her head down as if in grief, or maybe shame, while her eyes look in the same direction as her pointed wing.

Legend has it she points in the direction of a lover, and others say her first husband for whom she did wrong. It’s such a deliberate pose, it’s almost as if she’s trying to communicate something.

The Black Angel is a thing of folklore and superstition and its presence feels like something out of a Steven King story. As much as I find her as familiar as an extended family member, I still am surpassed by her reign and beauty. Even with no regard to her legend and superstition, she is hypnotizing from first sight at the least.

Heroes get remembered but legends never die, and for one woman, her legend lives on with each new generation and with every new Halloween. May the wind unlatch the creeky gate of superstition and mystery this Halloween and lead your mind to the unlikely.

So Anyway Dana King

What makes you tick?

I’m a people watcher. I could easily laze away hours of my day just observing.

I don’t consider myself a nosy person, but more a curious one — curious as to what others’ “backstory” might be. What brings an individual to this exact place and time? Where have they come from?

What have they done? Where are they going?

So technically, I don’t fritter away my time by scanning the masses because in my head, I’ve got all kinds of wheels turning up there, just ... wondering.

There is a terrific movie with Michael Douglas, Toby Maguire and Robert Downey, Jr. — “The Wonder Boys” — where the three have, in one way or another, devoted their lives to literary world. As they are sitting having drinks in a noisy, crowded bar they see a man resembling James Brown involved in an animated conversation. Without missing a beat, they begin creating a dark and twisted biography of the gentleman’s life. In no time they are quite pleased with their collaborative narrative of the man’s history.

I wouldn’t say I go that far with my inquisitive notions. But I do allow myself to ponder just a little about what makes some people tick, what type of jobs do they have, what stories could they tell?

So anyway...

The last time we were at the mall, while hanging out with our grandson, I actually asked myself what other people watchers might be surmising about us.

For instance, if you saw my hubby walking past Auntie Annie’s, you probably wouldn’t guess he won the 1984 State Champion Missouri Calf Working Contest. We were living on a cattle ranch back then and he spent hours and hours on horseback tending to his herds. I can’t begin to tell you how many new born calves I shared my bathtub with — though not at the same time — during the winter months.

Or that we had an Amish girl take care of our oldest son before he started school while we worked?

Granted, we had to go pick her up and take her home every day at 5 a.m. and 5 p.m., but it was quicker than having her hitch up her buggy and come to our place.

And if you saw me strolling through Bath and Body Works, would you have any idea I’m an ordained minister?

Maybe it’s a pathetic way to spend time stuck in a mall, but what else is one to do while you’re sitting watching your “grand” climbing on the cushioned equipment in the play area. It’s either that or freak out about all the germs my happy-go-lucky little guy is picking up. Fortunately, this nana always has hand sanitizer at the ready, so ... play on, little boy!

tative House District 29. Relationships are important to Wes whether they are family, friends, co-workers or community. What we need more than anything now is to have someone who values relationships.

That can be used to work across the

aisle with opposition to accomplish what is in the best interest for Iowans. We know that Wes can get the job done. Please vote for Wes Nov. 8 for state representative.

County responsibly. That is some of the things that make voting for Doug an easy choice for me.

I have known Doug for several years he was and still is a great role model for my son and his friends.

Doug and his wife opened their home to the boys and treated them like they were their own.

He also takes time out of his busy schedule to help coach the

young football players of our town. Doug is a very nice guy and will serve the county to the best of his ability. He will take the time to listen to peoples concerns and address them in the best way possible. Voting for Doug is like voting for a friend and a loyal Jasper County resident.

to Patrick for his aspirations to become our state representative at the Iowa statehouse.

Patrick is conservative and very much concerned about a balanced budget. He believes the government should run their finances like you and I do. I select a candidate who takes no money from PAC or lobbyists and is always willing to answer questions with facts directly, no matter

what the question may be. He is in favor of term limits. His honesty and integrity is unquestionable. He is open to all questions and discussions and as mediator who doesn’t care if you are Republican or Democrat. I ask that you join me in voting for Patrick Payton come Election Day as our new state representative.

working with Doug at Lauterbach when purchasing my vehicles. He was, and has always been, very fair, low pressure, and is known to throw in a few jokes. More than anything, Doug has a high level of respect for the customer, which is very hard to come by, if not impossible, when buying a vehicle. Doug also worked hard to make sure I got the deal I was looking for and the best vehicle for me. Last but not least, today after knowing Doug for 12 years, I believe he has the character to perform the duties of county supervisor; he is a man of respect

and dignity.

Doug also has the business knowledge to bring a financially smart approach to the county supervisor position that will help the county moving forward.

Doug, being a person that lives by the Golden rule, is running for the people of Jasper county, which shows in his character. Doug will benefit Jasper County when he is elected. I hope you will make Doug Cupples — family man, youth pastor, businessman and more, a Jasper County Supervisor.

Obituaries James Robert Axt Oct. 17, 2016 James Robert Axt, 64, died Monday, Oct. 17, 2016, at his home in Cassville.

He was born on April 14, 1952, in Mi lw au kee, Wis., to Robert George Axt and Lola Mary Bour Axt. He was raised in Shorewood, Wis., with his older brother Geoffrey, his younger brother William (Bill) and his sisters, Suzanne (Suzy) and Cathy Sue. He graduated from Shorewood High School in 1970, and from St. Olaf College in North-

field, Minn., in 1974, with a degree in history and a teaching certificate. While at St. Olaf, he met and married Joy Lynette Parker Dec. 23, 1972, at Hopkins United Methodist Church in Hopkins, Minn. Four children were born to them, Katherine Miriam, Gillian Marie, Andrew James and Hannah Joy, all of whom survive him.

Immediately upon leaving St. Olaf, he and Joy spent two years teaching school in Western Australia, first in the capital city of Western Australia, Perth, and then 300 miles up the coast in Geraldton, W.A. James taught at City Beach High School in Perth, and then at a brand new junior high school in Geraldton. After returning from Australia, he

entered Drake University in Des Moines, where he earned a master of public administration degree and a doctor of juris prudence degree in 1979.

For a year he worked in Clear Lake, as an attorney and then opened his own private practice in Rockwell, while also serving as judicial magistrate for Cerro Gordo county.

Eventually he made his way to Newton, where he worked briefly for Farm Credit Services before spending the largest part of his law career with the State of Iowa in the department of inspections and appeals as an administrative law judge. His final legal job was in private practice in southern Iowa. James enjoyed photography and his cabin in northern

Wisconsin.

In addition to his survivors, he is predeceased by his paternal grandparents, August and Ella Marie Donath Axt; his maternal grandparents, Arthur Henry Bour and Catherine Mary Scholtes Bour; and his sister, Cathy Sue Axt. His father Robert also preceded him in death and his mother Lola passed away recently.

Memorial services will take place at a later date. Memorials are suggested to First Presbyterian Church, 1684 Iowa St., Dubuque, IA 52001.

Club News Sunbonnet Questers The Oct. 13 meeting of Sunbonnet Questers was at the home of Jan Turk. Roll call was answered by eight members with memories of favorite games, toys and dolls. One of these games was Wa Hoo made in Newton by the Mathews and Mat-Co Companies.

Minutes of the September meeting were read and approved.

Correspondence was shared

by Dorothy: October Tidbits included information about the Fall Fling in Dennison and the December tea at Terrace Hill. Dorothy will get back to members with more information about the tea.

Old Business: The policies of the chapter must be updated.

There will need to be a copy of the by-laws to compare and make sure they are in agreement. Dorothy will have the forms and bylaws at the next meeting. LaVon showed us a copy of the “Iowa History” magazine that has an article on Appanoose County since the group just visited there. Dorothy suggested a program devoted to articles from the magazine.

There being no new business, the meeting was adjourned at 8:30 p.m.

The program “Little Books” was presented by Jan Turk. These books are from the Victorian era and feature lovely illustrations of children and animals in muted colors. It was these illustrations that drew Jan to the books when she began collecting. She said there was very little information available as she began her research for the program.

The original publisher was Ernest Nister of Damerstadt, Germany with the printing done in Nuremburg from 1877-1916.

Nister supervised the work which was also produced in London but printed in Germany and by E. P. Dutton in New York. Although Nister stopped production in 1916, there was a resurgence in the 20th century with reproductions, some of which are now also collectibles. There is renewed interest in pop-up books and some are very elaborate. Nister’s books were embossed, panoramic and movable books. The embossed figures were die-cut then mount-

ed within a three dimensional framework then connected to the opposing page, so when the page is opened the figures rise from the page. The dissolving picture works like a venetian blind and a new scene appears as each of the sections is pulled by a tab.

The revolving book has a circular picture which changes to a new image as a tab is moved right and left. Following Nister’s death the business declined with the ban on German exports during World War I. Other publishers of little books included Rafael Tuck & Sons of London which began in 1866, as a greeting card and picture business. The building and originals of their work were destroyed during the blitz in World War II and never recovered. His little books were not as elaborate as those of Nister but were a competitor for Nister in America.

Edith Nesbit (1858-1924) authored books for both Nister and Tuck. She is best known for her book “The Railway Children.”

The illustrators were rarely given credit in these original books.

THE BORN LOSER

FAMILY CIRCUS

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Oct. 21, 2016

Family never learns to let up on criticism of career choice DEAR ABBY: I grew up the third of four children. Both my older brothers chose to go into engineering (the field my father is in). I rocked the boat and opted to go into education. All during college and after, my parents continued to tell me I had chosen the wrong career and would never have any money.

Ten years later, I’m still getting constant comments about my career choice and financial status. They make little jabs like, “... but we know you can’t afford it,” and, “Is this too expensive for you?” which echo at family gatherings to the point that neither my husband nor I want to be there.

We both work hard and, while we might struggle, we never ask for financial assistance. How can I get my family to stop these comments? They’re hurtful. — EDUCATOR IN THE MIDWEST DEAR EDUCATOR: You are being picked on not only because of your career choice and its salary level, but also the fact that you didn’t fall into line as your siblings did and do what your parents wanted.

Much as we might wish to, we cannot dictate the behavior of others. If you have told your family their comments bother you and they persist, you will have to focus on the importance of the field you chose and the contribution to society you are making. And attend those family gatherings less often.

DEAR ABBY: “Lonely Widow in Ft. Myers, Fla.” (May 16) asked why friends ignore a woman when she becomes a widow. I experienced the same thing when I was widowed at 50.

There are several reasons why friends drop you when your spouse dies. One is fear of their own mortality. Another is perhaps the husband (or wife) was the social one. Or the women are afraid you are going to steal their husband.

I was hurt at first, but then I realized they were not true friends. I now

have new friends who are widowed, divorced or married, and I’m enjoying every minute we share. — JOY IN NEVADA DEAR JOY: I am glad for you.

Many readers wrote to share their experiences and their thoughts on that letter. Some suggested that friends may not invite the woman because they don’t want her to feel like a “third wheel,” but advised “Lonely” to speak up and tell them that, indeed, she WOULD like to be included. Others thought people assume a widow is emotionally needy, so they don’t want to be involved with her.

Some readers also wondered how often “Lonely” and her husband had invited single women to join them for a meal, weekend outing or evening event while he was still alive. The answer to that question could provide insight.

A majority of those who wrote agreed with me that it’s important that “Lonely” cultivate new interests, and along with them, new friends. One reader’s church formed a group for widows that includes monthly lunch outings at different restaurants. Another suggested that “Lonely’s” senior center friends should start inviting each other out for various entertainment options. She should also be encouraged to meet people in different locations, or even consider moving for a fresh start.

1 Iowa to give Kinnick Stadium

4 Ice cream maker plans $40.5

$90M overhaul

IOWA CITY — The University of Iowa is moving forward with plans for a $90 million renovation of Kinnick Stadium.

The Iowa Board of Regents on Thursday approved the design and financing plan for the project, which will renovate one of the stadium’s end zones. The enhancements to the north end zone include a second deck for seating, new restrooms, expanded concourses and improved concessions. The project will begin after the 2016 season and be completed prior to the 2019 season.

2 Templeton Rye plans to add distillery at Iowa facility

TEMPLETON — Templeton Rye plans to distill whiskey at its bottling facility in west-central Iowa. The company is adding distilling equipment and warehouses at its plant in Templeton, a Carroll County town of about 360 residents. In 2015 the company settled lawsuits over labeling the whiskey as “small-batch rye” made in Iowa when it actually was a stock whiskey made

by MGP Ingredients in Lawrenceburg, Ind.

million expansion in Le Mars

LE MARS — Ice cream maker Well Enterprises plans a $40.5 million expansion that will create 81 jobs in Le Mars.

State documents released Thursday show Wells is seeking about $3 million in state tax incentives to help finance the expansion. Plans include a 6,000-square-foot addition to the company’s South plant and the addition of new production lines.

The city of Le Mars would provide nearly $400,000 in property tax abatement for the project.

theft in workers’ comp case

ELDORA — A former Iowa state trooper has been charged with theft, accused by state authorities of improperly receiving workers’ compensation payments. The Iowa Public Safety Department said Thursday that 38-year-old Lance Below turned himself in Wednesday to the Hardin County Sheriff ’s Office. Court records don’t show the name of an attorney who could be contacted to comment for him. Below was released without bail. The patrol says he left the department in September 2015.

Auto parts plant lays off hundreds of workers IOWA CITY — A company that produces auto parts in Iowa City will lay off more than 400 workers by the end of the year. International Automotive Components will reduce its hourly workforce from 600 workers to 160 and cut its salaried employees from 76 to 39. A company spokesman said the job cuts were necessary because Fiat Chrysler was phasing out the Dodge Dart.

Citing concerns, board to audit ISU leader’s flights IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa State University’s governing board ordered an audit Thursday of every flight President Steven Leath has taken on school airplanes, and its leader said some of the trips appear “questionable at best.”

In a rare rebuke of an ally, Board of Regents President Bruce Rastetter said that he was extremely disappointed in Leath’s potential misuse of the planes and that “additional action is warranted.”

Rastetter called Leath a successful president during his five-year tenure but said regents must “ensure that our universities are run in a manner that the people of Iowa

expect and demand.”

During the meeting at the Univeristy of Northern Iowa, the board’s audit committee directed its Leath internal auditor to review flights Leath has taken on two planes owned by Iowa State. Rastetter said the report must be detailed and answer all questions the public has about Leath’s trips.

Leath told the regents that he welcomed the audit. He

Iowa man pays for overdue lunch bills at his former school BURLINGTON (AP) — A Burlington man has surprised the elementary school he attended by writing a $700 check to pay for students’ school lunches.

Jerry Fenton said the money will be used to cover overdue lunch bills for children at Grimes Elementary School who haven’t been able to pay for lunch but are fed anyway.

Fenton said he read a story online about a boy who brought two lunches to school so he could give one to a friend who wasn’t able to pay his lunch bills, and decided to go a step further.

School district food service director Alan Mehaffy said unpaid lunch bills aren’t a major problem at Burlington schools, but can sometime cause tension between parents and teachers when remind-

ers about the bills are sent home.

Fenton, who owns the Arrowhead Motel in Burlington, received lots of publicity on social media after writing about the donation on his Facebook page.

“I don’t want to tell people what to do ... but it’s always nice when people do nice things,” he said, saying he hopes the donation will inspire people to do something generous for others.

Mehaffy said gifts like Fenton’s donation are “extremely rare.” He said he could only remember one other similar donation to the school, when a school food service employee had died and asked for memorial donations to be directed to the overdue lunch bills.

“It made a big impact,” Mehaffy said of Fenton’s donation. “It was a very generous offer.”

said he’s committed to following university policies, which bar the use of state resources for private purposes.

“Clearly there are areas where I and Iowa State can improve. We will improve and we will do better,” he said.

A pilot, Leath has faced criticism since The Associated Press revealed that he damaged a university plane in a hard landing while flying home from a vacation in North Carolina in July 2015.

Leath used his discretion to purchase the plane for $498,000 with donations in 2014. He then obtained his instrument rating to fly the plane himself under the instruction

of Jim Kurtenbach, who was appointed to a high-paying job as university vice president without a search. Leath has acknowledged flying it on four largely personal trips to Jefferson, North Carolina, where he owns a mountain home, and reimbursing the school for some costs.

Records show Leath has also been flown by university pilots on ISU’s larger plane to and from North Carolina on several occasions. He has traveled on that plane with his best friend and a professional bowhunter, to his alma mater to receive an alumni award, and to an NCAA basketball tournament game with his

brother and sister-in-law.

Leath has argued previously that every trip had business justification, such as a fourhour meeting with a potential donor during his 11-day vacation. But he’s vowed to stop flying himself and made a $17,500 donation to cover the accident costs.

Regent Subhash Sahai has complained that Leath never told the board about the hard landing in which the plane’s wings were damaged.

Weeks later, the board extended Leath’s contract through 2020. Leath has said that he told Rastetter at some point but that information wasn’t passed on.

Police chief reaches out to felons for policy review WATERLOO (AP) — Waterloo’s police chief is reaching out to convicted felons as part of an effort to rebuild community trust in the department.

Safety Services Director and police chief Dan Trelka is putting together an advisory team of people who have been incarcerated to help him review department policies, especially those involving use of force. Each person’s felony conviction must be at least two years old.

The group would meet quarterly to discuss policy and current events.

Trelka said the team has no authority. He expects the com-

mittee to have five members with one each appointed by Trelka, the mayor, the City Council, the Waterloo Police Protective Association and the NAACP. A sixth member of the team may come from the Human Rights Commission.

“These individuals who are going to be on this have street credibility,” Trelka said. “So when I talk about use of force incidents at the police department they can go back to the community and hopefully better educate our community.”

The advisory committee is part of the city’s push to build trust between citizens and police in

the wake of several lawsuits filed across the nation alleging officers used improper force against black suspects.

A separate advisory committee of both officers and citizens will be created to review local events where force was used, as well as analyze highly publicized incidents nationally to talk about how those incidents can be avoided in Waterloo.

The Waterloo and Cedar Falls police departments, as well as other groups, held an event last week in which officers used role-playing scenarios to practice when use of force is appropriate. A second similar event will be held Oct. 27.

Judge: Transportation department officer can’t cite speeder DES MOINES — A judge has ruled that an Iowa Transportation Department officer didn’t have legal authority to issue a speeding ticket.

Polk County District Court Associate Judge Heather Lauber said in her Thursday ruling dismissing the citation that the Iowa Supreme

Court declared nearly 70 years ago that the department officers didn’t have power over most moving violations.

If possible appeal, legal challenges could follow on thousands of tickets issued by Transportation Department officers.

Sixteen-year-old Peyton Atzen and his parents fought the ticket, fearing he could lose his license. The officer ticketed Atzen on May 27 after he was clocked going 84 mph in a 55 mph zone. Atzen says he was speeding but doesn’t think he was going that fast.

Discussions underway to bring University of Iowa classes to Grinnell Newton Daily News GRINNELL — A group of local institutions is working closely with the University of Iowa, community leaders and employers to bring University of Iowa classes to Grinnell.

The classes will be held at the Iowa Valley Community College Grinnell campus at 123 Sixth Avenue. The University of Iowa presence in Grinnell will be the culmination of 1.5 years of work.

In June 2015, a group of stakeholders representing the University of Iowa, major employers from a several county radius, economic development agencies, local community colleges and municipal leaders convened to discuss the possibility of the University of Iowa teaching classes in Grinnell.

“The town of Grinnell has

historically been a crossroads where people, ideas and resources converge,” Grinnell College President Raynard Kington, who hosted the meeting. “By building on our strength as an educational crossroads, this would be an opportunity for Grinnell to grow and flourish in exciting new ways.”

Feedback was nearly universally positive, as the University of Iowa presence would assist existing employers, grow the pool of well-trained professionals in the area, and create a more competitive job market. The program will also give members of the community easier access to 4-year degree options and specialized certificates.

Following the June 2015 meeting, employers in a five county area, as well as high school counselors, Iowa Valley

Grinnell/Marshalltown Community College students and alumni and Des Moines Area Community College students and alumni, were surveyed to help identify potential students and purposes of the proposed program.

Through this survey, 41 employers responded, and 85 percent of those said at least one employee would be interested in the program, and more than half of those employers offer some kind of reimbursement for tuition, an additional incentive for participation. The survey also found that programs specializing in business are the most sought after, with over half of all respondents saying they would prefer business-related classes.

The program plans to offer “hybrid” classes combining online coursework (which would provide students flexi-

bility to study from home) and in-person interaction, with the initial face-to-face component on the Iowa Valley Grinnell campus. Books will be available for sale at the Grinnell College Pioneer Bookstore, and students will be able to take advantage of academic support at the community college campus.

If the program reaches the minimum enrollment threshold, classes could start as early as January 2017. Classes offered, while yet to be finalized, will likely serve a range of business-oriented programs which may include courses in the following tracts: Bachelor of Liberal Studies, Bachelor of Applied Studies, Bachelor of Business Administration or Certificate of Leadership Studies. The Iowa Valley Grinnell campus will be used for all face-to-face classes until a

more permanent site in Grinnell is established. University of Iowa representatives will be meeting with area employers in October to define the best fit approach to customize the University’s program for the Grinnell community needs.

Interested employers should plan to attend an informational meeting at 3:30 p.m. on Monday at Iowa Valley Grinnell Campus, 123 Sixth Ave. If employers are unable to attend this meeting, they may contact the Grinnell Chamber of Commerce by calling 641-236-6555 or emailing rachael@getintogrinnell.com, or Poweshiek Iowa Development at 641-236-1626 or laura@ powi80.com for more information. Interested students should contact Jennifer Timmons with the University of Iowa at Jennifer-timmons@ uiowa.edu or 319-335-1565.

Review of NCT’s ‘Caucus! The Musical’

By Mike and Stephanie Moran Special to the Newton Daily News The Newton Community Theatre players will be bringing the Iowa Caucuses to life in “Caucus! The Musical” by Robert John Ford. The show opened to standing ovations last weekend and will finish its run Friday and Saturday.

All show times will be at 7:30 p.m. at the Newton Community Theatre.

The play is being directed by NCT favorites John Dougan and Rachel Faidley. John Dougan is directing the stage craft while Rachel Faidley is directing all the vocal and instrumental ensembles. The instrumentalists sound fantastic and the musical numbers are real highlights in the show.

They have chosen an exceptional and seasoned cast and directed them to perfectly illustrate the highs and lows and everything in between for this motley crew of politicians and surrogates that descend upon an average unsuspecting Iowa family.

The family home of Eldon Wise (Shawn

Pavlik) is invaded by the unsavory characters that seem to step right out of our television sets. Eldon’s wife Kate Wise (Kristine Perkins) does everything she can to make sure her children Justin Wise (Chase Kolpin) and Kristin Wise (Cheyenne Schaeffer) our shielded from the more scurrilous words and deeds of this group and the children remain open minded to all candidates (especially the female one).

Judy Richmond plays the lovable tech savvy Grandma who has a few eccentricities and a twitter handle. This family, who agrees on absolutely everything, is asked by filmmaker Tara Morris (Jenelle Gideon) to be on a weekly pod cast reality show that follows the family member’s search for their favorite candidate.

As this crazy campaign hits town, Eldon seeks advice from two of his trusted friends.

Mavis McCormick (Julie Goodman) who delivers perfectly timed hilarious one liners and a little bit of down home philosophy to Eldon while she runs the local café.

He perpetual customer, Marlon Taylor (Steve Barnett) is a hippy hold out from the 1960s who has single handedly kept the counter culture alive in Iowa for decades.

Eldon uses them as sounding boards for his worries and they try to help him out with how to handle things. Mavis and Marlon will make you laugh out loud, but you might learn a thing or two behind the laughter.

The candidates are drawn to this family and their internet celebrity like moths to the flame.

This cast does such a fantastic job of making these crazy characters seem very close to the real thing! Senator Nathaniel Wright (Arvin Van Zante), Dr. Ezekiel Day (Zach Bey), and Congressman Victor Neumann (Terry Faidley) are so well acted that you have no trouble believing any one of these guys could be running for office. This trio is great at delivering “cringe worthy” line after “cringe worthy” line while poking fun at the kind of candidates that parade across Iowa every four years.

Submitted Photo From left, Shawn Pavlik as Eldon Wise, Julie Goodman as Mavis McCormick and Steve Barnett as Marlon Taylor. The final two performances of “Caucus! The Musical” begin at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Newton Community Theatre.

Ambassador Eleanor Jefferson (Carolyn Warrick) brings to life a character that is driven by and obsessed with her place in history. She wants this and she wants it now. Even though she projects motherly love, you do not want to get in her way, ever! Ronald Blunt (Scott Schaefer) will not be a character you have to contemplate about who is being satired in this production.

As he is acted here, you will have no trouble finding this character objectionable on many fronts. Scott Schaefer makes us dislike him from start to finish as he pushes the bounds of the PG-13 rating every chance he gets.

The candidates delivered laughs to the

audience and plenty of awkward offensive jabs at each other every time they were in a scene.

They all have an equally over the top campaign manager played

by Amy McGhghy, Julie Bey, Meghan Glennon, Mel Wilson and Robin Stoner. These ladies have their collective work cut out for them trying to keep their candidates in line, on message and out of trouble. That is no easy task. The scenes between the candidates and their managers are funny and each one brings some real fun to the production. These managers are trying to do the impossible and we find ourselves pulling for them to get their candidate together.

Try as they might, their best laid plans fall apart.

The cast is rounded out by a fine ensemble (Micah Cope, Janet Wiand, Mike McKenna) and a some great appearances by FIXT news anchors and reporters Conor Fudge, Sandy Olsthoorn and Rod Zuidema. Each delivers more laughs than news! The audience will find themselves looking forward to the breaking news segments as they are good for laughs each and every time the “talking heads” and “on the scene” reporters take the stage.

Make plans to catch this fun show for the second half of its run this weekend. NCT has done the impossible ... they have made presidential politics fun again. Enjoy the show.

Local & State News Forum

Continued from Page 1A Breckenridge countered one of Payton’s contention that Iowa water is safe to drink.

“I think Mr. Payton’s statistics are a little bit off,” Breckenridge said. “Statistics I have show roughly half of Iowa’s rivers, lakes and streams fail to meet quality standards.”

Duffy said it’s a matter of allowing for new taxes on businesses like internet transactions to create the revenue that would help pay for cover crops and other water-quality programs; Payton said large Iowa cities can already get clean water, but the question is whether the cost of removing nitrates from farm runoff should be a statewide, shared taxpayer expense.

Several other topics were addressed by the audience on the written questions submitted to League of Women Voters volunteers who screened them. Those included dog breeder regulations, fair treatment of transgender students and other public education concerns and restoring voting rights for felons.

After the Iowa House candidates left the podium, the three Jasper County Board of

Supervisors candidates, vying for the seat to be vacated by the departing supervisor Denny Stevenson, took audience questions in front of a smaller crowd. Democrat Sandy Shaver, Republican Doug Cupples and Libertarian Keith Laube, all of Newton, were far less contentious in their responses than their legislative counterparts.

The county supervisors’ forum was much more lighthearted and had almost none of the partisan or personal disparagement of the Iowa House candidate group. Cupples, Laube and Shaver complimented and quoted each other frequently, agreeing on the answers to many audience questions.

Laube touted his experience in handling government budgets and overseeing the City of Newton’s 35-employee Public Works Department, which performs the kind of work county roads department employees typically face, and said he’s lived along some of the county’s 900 miles of gravel roads for half of his life. Cupples and Shaver acknowledged areas such as road conditions and bridge work are not their specialties, but promised to listen to experts in the field for input, if

All three seemed to be against the general idea of the county paying to construct all-new buildings.

The Jasper County Supervisors are full-time, with salaried positions. Cupples, a salesman at Lauterbach

Buick GMC, and Laube both said they will work out their schedules, if elected, to make enough time to be an effective supervisor. Shaver is retired.

Laube said being a Libertarian means there would be one Democrat, one Republican and one Libertarian on

the board, if he were elected.

Shaver replied there have been only Democrats or Republicans on the board for years without partisan problems.

​Election officials, experts rebuff Trump’s ‘rigged’ claim NEW YORK (AP) — Election officials nationwide dismiss Donald Trump’s incendiary claim the presidential election is rigged against him, with Republicans and Democrats alike rejecting the idea anyone could overcome the logistical challenges of tilting a process run by officials of both parties and average citizens at thousands of polling places and election offices.

New York-based election lawyer Jerry Goldfeder says more than 3,000 counties regulate elections and notes each state has its own election laws, even for president.

“This decentralized process makes it next to impossible for anyone to change the results of the election, whether it’s a foreign power or a political party,” he said.

Both candidates usually have scores of lawyers on call to challenge any suspect ballot or behavior. Ballots are tabulated in public spaces. Moreover, post-Election Day safeguards are in place, like canvasses of randomly selected districts to verify election totals and ballots match.

“Our election system today is more secure than it’s ever been,” said Jon Husted, secretary of state in Ohio. A Republican who has said he will vote for Trump, Husted said he was “confident elections would run smoothly” in his state. “To assert an election is rigged without evidence is irresponsible,” he said.

AP Photo Pennsylvania’s top elections official, Secretary of the Commonwealth Pedro Cortes, speaks at a Capitol news conference to respond to allegations that the state’s election results could be rigged, hacked or bent by fraud Thursday in Harrisburg, Pa.

Any anti-Trump conspiracy would also probably need to involve members of his own party, such as Husted. Top election officials in 29 states are Republicans, including in the battlegrounds like Florida, North Carolina and Nevada.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who supports Trump, has urged the GOP nominee to stop making the claim about a rigged election and said people in his

state — where vote-counting problems and an improbably close race left the 2000 presidential race undecided for more than a month — should have confidence in the result.

Each of the state’s 67 counties conducts its own election. “I guarantee you there’s not a 67-county conspiracy to rig this election,” Rubio said. “Second, the governor of the state of Florida is a Re-

publican. He appoints the people who run the Division of Elections. Third, there is no evidence behind any of this, so this should not continue to be said.”

He talked in the debate about “millions of people that are registered to vote that shouldn’t be registered to vote.”

That was a reference to a 2012 Pew Research study that found that about 24 million voter registrations — or one of every eight — were no longer valid or significantly inaccurate. The report found that more than 1.8 million dead people were listed as voters and that about 2.75 million people were registered in more than one state. But it also cited no evidence that those errors had contributed to significant voter fraud.

Trump of late has focused on certain cities as being susceptible to voter fraud, declaring to a nearly all-white crowd in Pennsylvania that Philadelphia, which has a large African-American population, could be a problem spot.

He declared that “we don’t want this election stolen from us” and urged his supporters to keep a close eye on “other communities,” a call that has stirred fears of voter intimidation and confrontations at the polls.

There is no proof that voter fraud is a widespread problem in the United States. A study by a Loyola Law School professor found that out of 1 billion votes cast in all American elections between 2000 and 2014, there were only 31 known cases of impersonation fraud.

Final debate is third most-watched presidential match ever NEW YORK (AP) — The final faceoff between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump reached 71.6 million television viewers, meaning two of the three mostwatched presidential debates in history occurred during this campaign.

The debate from Las Vegas, moderated by Fox News Channel’s Chris Wallace, exceeded the 66.5 million people who watched the second debate. The first time

these two candidates met on stage in September, the audience of 84 million set a viewership record, the Nielsen company said.

The 1980 debate between Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan, the only time they met that fall, was seen by 80.6 million people. That was the only previous debate to compare to this year’s matchups in popularity.

By contrast, both of the debates that Clinton’s hus-

band Bill had while running for re-election in 1996 against Bob Dole reached a little over 36 million people.

NBC may have been responsible for Wednesday’s debate passing the one moderated by Anderson Cooper and Martha Raddatz in popularity. The network didn’t televise the second debate, showing an NFL football game instead, but was back this time.

Wednesday’s third debate

had a subdued, substantive start with more fireworks as the evening went on. TiVo reported that the moment Donald Trump talked about how “nobody has more respect for women than I do” — and Wallace had to shush some audience members from laughing — was when more viewers stopped and rewound to take a second look than any other.

During the debate, the Republican candidate was

mentioned in 3.9 million tweets, while his Democratic rival was mentioned in 1.9 million, Nielsen said.

With Wallace as the sole moderator, Fox News Channel led all networks with 11.3 million viewers during the debate. ABC had 11 million, NBC had 10.4 million, CBS had 10.1 million, CNN had 8.7 million, Fox broadcasting had 6.6 million and MSNBC had 5.5 million, Nielsen said.

Hostility, geniality mix as Trump, Clinton meet at event WA S H I N G T O N (AP) — Sharply at odds over the Republican’s assertions that he may not concede if he loses on Election Day, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton chose cutting jabs over lighthearted teasing as they came face-to-face at a fundraiser. Yet both showed flashes of willingness to see beyond their bitter election battle, the archbishop who sat between them said Friday.

Still, New York’s Cardinal Timothy Dolan summed up the two candidates’ chemistry at a fundraiser in a word: “Awkward.”

The controversy over Trump’s remarkable assertions trailed the candidates to the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation Dinner on Thursday, a traditionally genial event that turned bitter at times.

AP Photo Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, right, talks with Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, left, and Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Archbishop of New York, during the Alfred E. Smith Memorial Foundation dinner, Thursday in New York.

Dolan, thrust into the role of temporary peacemaker, described a less antagonistic moment backstage after he invited them to pray.

“After the little prayer, Mr. Trump

tuned to Secretary Clinton and said, ‘You know, you are one tough and talented woman,’ and he said this has been a good experience,” Dolan told NBC’s “Today” on Friday. “And

she said, ‘Donald, whatever happens, we need to work together afterwards.”

The private moment at an annual Catholic fundraiser in New York was a rare departure

from the unsympathetic tone both candidates have struck toward each other in a campaign that has been dominated by deeply personal, noholds-barred attacks.

“We have proven we can actually be civil with each other,” Trump said about the opponent he has asserted belongs in jail for alleged criminal acts. “In fact, just before taking the dais Hillary accidentally bumped into me and she very civilly said, ‘Pardon me.’”

Following Trump at the dinner, Clinton cracked: “I didn’t think he’d be OK with a peaceful transition of power.”

Republicans and Democrats alike have piled on Trump for refusing to say in the final debate whether he would concede if he loses. On Thursday, Trump said he would

accept the results “if I win” or there was a clear outcome, but reserved his right to “contest or file a legal challenge” if he lost on Nov. 8.

He brushed off the likelihood of that happening, confident predicting that “we’re not going to lose.”

Among those criticizing Trump was Sen. John McCain, the Arizona Republican who lost to Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential race.

“I didn’t like the outcome of the 2008 election. But I had a duty to concede, and I did so without reluctance,” McCain said in a statement. “A concession isn’t just an exercise in graciousness. It is an act of respect for the will of the American people, a respect that is every American leader’s first responsibility.”

Flood victims face major challenges as early voting begins TARBORO, N.C. (AP) — As Keith and Felicia Scott looked at the ruins of their flooded-out house in North Carolina, the mold growing up the walls and the loose floorboards lying waterlogged at their feet, the presidential election was about the furthest thing from their minds.

“I know it’s something we need to focus on, but it’s kind of hard to focus on that when you’ve got all this going on,” said Keith Scott, a 49-year-old state prison employee who lives outside Lumberton, one of the areas inundated by Hurricane Matthew nearly two weeks ago. “Right now, you’ve got

to find a place to live.”

Of the 130 million Americans expected to cast ballots this year, the thousands of people in North Carolina whose lives have been upended by the flooding face some of the biggest challenges.

As in-person, early voting began Thursday in the state, some roads were still impassable, bridges were washed out, and untold numbers of people were still out of their homes. Many were busy just trying to put their lives back together.

Some of the most heavily damaged areas are largely Democratic with a high concentration of black voters,

and there are concerns the disarray might depress turnout and sway the outcome of the White House race in this battleground state, where polls suggest a tight race between Democrat Hillary Clinton and Republican Donald Trump and where Barack Obama beat John McCain in 2008 by a mere 14,177 votes out of 4.3 million cast.

The hurricane dumped more than a foot of rain up to 100 miles inland, triggering severe flooding across a large area of eastern North Carolina. Towns such as Lumberton and Tarboro were inundated. As of Tuesday, more than 1,000 people were in emer-

Cardinal harriers finish strong, but no qualifiers

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

CEDAR RAPIDS — Running in a tough Class 4A field in their state qualifying cross country meet Thursday, Newton High’s girls and boys had a strong finish to the 2016 season.

No runners qualified for the state meet, but they turned in personal or sea-

son best times on the 5K course at Noel Ridge Park in Cedar Rapids.

The Cardinal girls finished eighth in the field of nine 4A teams in the state qualifying meet hosted by Cedar Rapids Kennedy.

They scored 221 points.

Four of the top 15 ranked 4A girls’ cross country teams placed in the top four at the meet.

Third-ranked Iowa City High won the team title with 37 points followed by 13th-ranked Linn-Mar in second with 78 points and seventh-ranked Muscatine in third and Cedar Rapids Kennedy, ranked 14th, in fourth, both with 81 points.

PCM’s Ellens gets the gold at state qualifier

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PELLA — Prairie City-Monroe senior Chris Ellens will tell you he wasn’t very good his first two seasons as a cross country runner.

After his sophomore season, Ellens didn’t want to be left out of the medals handed out after races anymore.

He went to work, got after it and the end result has been nothing short of remarkable.

Ten days after winning the Heart of Iowa Conference title, Ellens was impressive again in the Class 2A state qualifier in Pella on Thursday. The Mustang senior got out to an early lead, pulled away after the first mile and then sprinted his way to another championship.

This time, Ellens locked up his second ELLENS | 2B

Ellens finished with a personal-best time of 16:34.2.

Fall is wrapping up F

all weather is here. The leaves are turning golden, orange and red. High school fall sports seasons are coming to an end.

So, right around the corner are practices for the high school winter sports — basketball, wrestling, boys’ swimming, boys’ and girls’ bowling.

We still have postseason play for our fall sports.

Following Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s regional volleyball play, there is one area team still in the hunt. Colfax-Mingo plays in a Class 2A Region 4 quarterfinal match against Woodward-Granger at 7 p.m. Monday in Woodward. Win and advance is the name of the game in the postseason.

Newton’s Cardinals had their opportunities to win their opening Class 4A regional match Wednesday at Grinnell. The two teams know each other well as Little Hawkeye Conference members. The Cardinals beat the

Five members of last year’s team reversed a script that saw 2015 end with disappointment.

Junior Ashlee Johnson ran on another high school team last season, but she got redemption when she crossed the Central College course’s finish line.

Even senior Winter Brown, who was injured most of last season, got some redemption.

In the end, the redemption was rewarded with the Raiders’ second trip to the state cross country meet in the last five seasons.

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets Tigers in Grinnell in LHC action earlier this season and just defeated the Tigers in LHC tournament play a week ago in Newton.

The regional match was a microcosm of the Cardinals’ 2016 season. It came down to inconsistent play — the up-and-down wave, which seemed to hit Newton in matches. The Cardinals had leads late in both of the first two sets and went 1-1. In sets three and four, Newton had chances to claim victories but couldn’t get “the” play to snag the win.

Newton’s volleyball players never gave up in Wednesday’s match or throughout the season. They believed in each other and trusted each other on the court. Little things tripped them up in several close matches this season. When they were on, there were some “wow” factors.

We know how many area high school runners qualified for the state cross country meet slated for Oct. 29 in Fort Dodge. That is the same date as the NCMP Aquagirls swim in their state qualifying meet at Southeast Polk.

Lynnville-Sully and PCM are in the Class A and Class 2A football playoffs, respectively. The Mustangs know they will host a first-round game because it won its district championship. Lynnville-Sully has work to do Friday night to come up with a win for a district title and being able to play a first-round home game.

Football pairings for all classes will be announced by the Iowa High School Athletic Association in a live webcast at 10 a.m. Saturday at ihssn. com/playoff pairing. The first round is Oct. 28.

ANKENY — Ranked No. 24 in the final individual rankings in Class 1A, Colfax-Mingo senior Dakota Hostetter was determined to qualify for her fourth trip to the 1A state cross country meet.

Hostetter didn’t just qualify for another state meet.

She turned in a dominant run of the 5K course on the DMACC-Ankeny campus in Thursday’s Class 1A state qualifying meet. She won the race in 20 minutes, 05.2 seconds, beating two top-10 ranked runners.

Dakota Hostetter is not the only Hostetter headed to the Oct. 29 state cross country meet. Sophomore Ilia Hostetter narrowly beat Lynnville-Sully freshman Abby Gruver for the final individual qualifying spot.

playoffs and the World Series for a third straight year, I don’t have a lot of stake in the playoffs this fall. It would have been nice to see the Royals defend their 2015 World Series title, but it happens.

I was pulling for the Cleveland Indians in the ALCS, which they won Wednesday, because they are out of the same division as the Royals — the AL Central. It’s always nice to see this version of the Toronto Blue Jays get beat. So, the Indians await to see if they will play the Chicago Cubs or the Los Angeles Dodgers in the World Series, which begins Tuesday in Cleveland.

The Cubs have been great all through the regular season and the NL divisional series. If they are going to win the NL Pennant, it will be done in front of their fans in the friendly confines of Wrigley Field.

Win or lose Thursday night’s Game 5 of the NLCS in Los Angeles, the Cubs will be up 3-2 or down 3-2 going into Game 6. Game 6 and Game 7 will be played in Chicago. The Cubs won big Thursday and only need a win to get to the World Series.

Cubs beat Dodgers, hold 3-2 lead in NLCS LOS ANGELES (AP) — One win away. Two chances at home. Seven decades of waiting.

The Chicago Cubs closed in on their first World Series trip since 1945 by beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 8-4 on Thursday in Game 5 of their National League playoff.

Jon Lester pitched seven sharp innings, Addison Russell hit a tiebreaking homer and the Cubs grabbed a 3-2 lead in the NL Championship Series.

On deck, a pair of opportunities to wrap up that elusive pennant at Wrigley Field.

“The city of Chicago has got to be buzzing pretty much right now,” manager Joe Maddon said. “We’re not going to run away from anything. It’s within our reach right now.”

The Cubs’ first opportunity to clinch comes Saturday night in Game 6, when Dodgers ace

Clayton Kershaw faces major league ERA leader Kyle Hendricks.

“That’s a game we expect to win,” Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts said.

Of course, the Cubs were in the same favorable position 13 years ago — heading home to Wrigley with a 3-2 lead in the NLCS. But even with ace pitchers Mark Prior and Kerry Wood starting the final two games, Chicago collapsed against the Marlins in one of its most excruciating failures.

More than a decade later, the franchise is still chasing its first World Series championship since 1908.

“We’ve heard the history,” center fielder Dexter Fowler said, “but at the same time we’re trying to make history.”

Budding star Javier Baez was in the middle of every-

thing for the Cubs, a common theme this October. The second baseman made a sensational defensive play when the game was still close in the seventh, and his three-run double capped a five-run eighth that made it 8-1.

After busting out of his postseason slump Wednesday, Russell hit a two-run homer for the second straight game.

This one was a sixth-inning drive off losing pitcher Joe Blanton that gave Chicago a 3-1 lead.

“Just rounding the bases, it was pretty exciting,” Russell said. “Pumped up, not only for myself but for the team and that little cushion that Jonny had to go forward from that.”

Baez had three of Chicago’s 13 hits, matching the team’s total in Game 4, when the Cubs snapped a 21-inning scoreless streak and won 10-2.

Lester allowed one run and five hits, improving to 2-0 in three playoff starts this year.

He has given up two runs in 21 innings.

The left-hander struck out six and walked one in a slowpaced game that lasted 4 hours, 16 minutes.

“These guys won the game for us,” Lester said, nodding toward Russell and Baez. “I was kind of along for the ride.”

Anthony Rizzo’s run-scoring double gave the Cubs a 1-0 lead in the first.

Los Angeles tied it in the fourth on Adrian Gonzalez’s RBI groundout.

Russell homered on an 0-1 pitch from Blanton, who gave up a single to Baez leading off the sixth. Baez stole second before Russell’s shot to left-center put the Cubs ahead on another unusually hot night at Dodger Stadium.

Ellens Continued from Page 1B This time, Ellens locked up his second straight state berth with a personal-best time of 16 minutes, 34.2 seconds.

Ellens ran all by himself for the final two miles. Ranked eighth, Ellens should be one of the favorites at next weekend’s state meet in Fort Dodge.

“After my sophomore year, I just told myself that I wanted to get some of those awards and run with the guys up front,” Ellens said. “I’m competitive, and once I decided to do that, I didn’t look back.

I stuck with the goal and just showed that hard work does make a difference.”

Ellens was one of three area harriers who punched their tickets to the state meet. Collins-Maxwell/Baxter sophomore Ian Thomson advanced with a ninth-place finish, and his teammate, freshman Logan Berg, locked up a state berth by finishing in the 15th and final position.

“I was nervous at the start.

We were in the middle boxes. We got pinched in their at the start,” CMB coach Jerry Meinerts said. “They had to work hard to get back in there.

We preached patience, and thankfully, they got back up toward the front.”

CMB finished one spot out of advancing its entire team. The Raiders were fourth in the team standings with 141 points. Third-ranked Mid-Prairie won the meet with 57 points, while 10thranked East Marshall (81) and seventh-ranked Aplington-Parkersburg (94) secured the other two qualifying spots.

The Raiders finished five points ahead of Grundy Center/Gladbrook-Reinbeck (146). The rest of the 14-team field included 12th-ranked Dike-New Hartford (158), Pella Christian (175), Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont (208), West Marshall (216), Davis County (227), Van Buren (280), PCM (285), Albia (297) and Centerville (374).

“It was tough to finish fourth, but it wasn’t like it was 10 points off third,” Meinerts said. “A lot of teams tried to finish fourth, and they couldn’t. A rated team tried to finish fourth but couldn’t. So it was a good day overall.

“We had a lot of setbacks this year. If we could have stayed healthy, we may have been able to make up that gap, but it is what it is. We competed hard, and all you can ask for is to run your best times at this meet, and we did that today.”

There were nine ranked runners in the boys’ 5K field.

Ellens was the highest ranked runner, and by the time he completed the Central College course, he showed why.

“I actually told him today after this race that he needs to start thinking about winning state,” PCM coach Eric Karr

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter sophomore Ian Thomson (4863) and freshman teammate Logan Berg (4858) run up a hill during the Class 2A state qualifier in Pella in that game. Both runners finished in the top 15 and clinched a spot in next week’s state meet.

said. “It’s not an expectation and there’s no extra stress.

There’s just a serious chance for him.

“He ran two miles by himself and set a personal record.

That’s crazy. I don’t know if he knows at this point how to lose. That may be the case.”

CMB’s Thomson also had a personal-record time Thursday.

The Raider sophomore finished ahead of 13th-ranked Floyd Evans of Mid-Prairie with a time of 17:18.6. He is now a two-time state qualifier.

“It feels great to be going back to state, and to have my best time come at this meet is awesome,” Thomson said.

“That’s always the goal.”

Berg had to scratch and claw his way to his first state meet. The freshman was outside the top 15 with a half mile left. He got into the mix with a few passes but dropped back out of it. That’s when he shifted gears with 300 meters left.

“I could see it in Logan’s eyes when he made the passes late to get into the top 15,” Meinerts said. “When he came up that final corner, and got by the Davis County runner, I knew it was over. That’s so exciting for him. He wants to be a four-time qualifier so he’s off to a great start.”

Berg said he could hear the crowd telling him where he was sitting in the standings.

“I could hear the crowd telling me that I was a few positions off so once I caught up to a few of them, I was told to keep that pace,” Berg said. “I tried my best to do that.”

Rodgers throws three TDs, Packers beat Bears GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers set a record. The Chicago Bears lost another quarterback.

After a slow start in the red zone, the Green Bay Packers picked up the pace in the second half to overpower their offensively-challenged NFC North rivals.

Rodgers threw for 326 yards and three touchdowns, Davante Adams and Ty Montgomery emerged as playmakers in the second half and Packers beat the Bears 26-10 on Thursday night.

Rodgers was 39 of 56, setting a franchise mark for completions in a game. It was the Packers’ first contest without injured running back Eddie Lacy .

“A lot of moving parts, a very satisfying victory at home,” coach Mike McCarthy said.

The Packers (4-2) moved effectively on short gains most of the night, but couldn’t break into the end zone until Adams caught the first of his two touchdown receptions with 9:11 left in the third quarter for a 13-10 lead.

Rodgers and Adams combined again for a 4-yard score on the first play of fourth quarter for a 10-point lead.

The Bears (1-6) lost quarterback Brian Hoyer to a broken left arm in the second quarter.

With Jay Cutler already out with a right thumb injury, Chicago turned to third-stringer Matt Barkley.

An offense that was already 31st in the league in scoring got worse. Barkley was 6 of 15 for 81 yards and two interceptions.

He tried to lean on the rush against the NFL’s third-best run defense.

It didn’t work either.

Kadeem Carey had 48 yards on 10 carries, including a 24-yarder.

Receiver Alshon Jeffery was held to three catches for 33 yards against a Packers secondary without its top three cornerbacks because of injuries.

It got so bad for the Bears that Rodgers had more completions (37) than the Bears had offensive plays (36) by 5:31 of the fourth quarter.

That 37th completion for Rodgers was a 2-yard touchdown pass to Randall Cobb.

Adams, Montgomery and Cobb each finished with at least 10 receptions.​

Redemption: Fourth-ranked Mid-Prairie edges fifth-ranked CMB by one point Continued from Page 1B varsity runners in the first 18 positions and advanced to the state meet with a second-place finish at a Class 2A state qualifier. The fifthranked Raiders were edged by No. 4 Mid-Prairie by one point.

“It motivated us a lot. We have been bringing that up a lot the past three weeks,” CMB sophomore Lauren Ratliff said about last year’s state qualifying meet. “Last year was not any fun, and we wanted to make sure it didn’t happen again. We showed we wanted this really bad.”

Last year, the Raiders were one of five ranked teams to run in Dike, and they came up on the short end of the stick, finishing two positions out of a state berth.

One season later, with a few familiar faces and a couple of extra pieces, CMB turned back the disappointment with a successful performance on the grass.

The Raiders didn’t expect to lose Thursday, but CMB coach Jerry Meinerts said the narrow loss will serve as motivation for when the team returns to action at the state meet in Fort Dodge next weekend.

“We started the season with this goal. Then we found out this was our last season together. To accomplish the goal and the steps we took a long the way, it’s a great feeling.

But it also leaves a little bit of an unfinished business, which is OK. “We didn’t run a perfect race. We have room for improvement. We have a week and a day to work on that.”

Three Raiders finished in the first 15 positions, which guaranteed them a spot at the state meet. Sophomore Brenna Thomson was sixth, senior Heather Jessen finished seventh and sophomore Lauren Ratliff crossed the finish line in 14th. Johnson was 17th and sophomore Shasta Moody finished in 18th as the Raiders finished with 62 points.

Mid-Prairie had the two best runners on the course as sisters Anna Hostetler and Marie Hostetler blew away with the times of 17 minutes, 57.6 seconds and 17:58.9, respectively.

No other Golden Hawk runner qualified automatically but one was 16th, another 19th and the fifth and final scoring runner crossed in 23rd. That was enough to edge the fifth-ranked Raiders by one point in the standings.

Prairie City-Monroe ended its season. The Mustangs’ best finishers were sophomores Kirstin Ives, Megan Townley and Paytan Schut, who were 21st, 24th and 29th, respectively. PCM finished seventh as

a team with 160 points.

Aplington-Parkersburg was the third qualifying team with 108 points. Grundy Center/Gladbrook-Reinbeck (138) and Albia (152) rounded out the top five, while East Marshall (159) was sixth. West Marshall (162) finished two points back of PCM in eighth, Dike-New Hartford (167) was ninth and Van Buren (292), Centerville (309), Davis County (313) and Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont (373) completed the 13-team field.

“I thought we ran well. (Ives) and (Townley) both had a season PR. Paytan came down with a cough over the weekend. Those things happen,” PCM coach Eric Karr said.

“We ended up roughly where I had us on paper. We had higher hopes, but we’ll take it into next year. I feel like they gave me what they had tonight, and you really can’t ask for anything else.”

The Raiders ended up right where Meinerts expected, too. CMB openly talked about goals of reaching the state meet for the first time since 2012. They’ll breeze into next weekend’s state meet wanting more though.

“We’ll learn from this race, and now we have the motivation to hopefully take out Mid-Prairie,” Meinerts said. “We had a goal of a top-three finish at state. We want to walk out on that balcony.”

Thomson’s individual redemption Thursday came with a sixthplace overall finish. She ended up in the worst possible place last season, which is 16th and one spot off of a state berth. She had motivation that came with coming so close as a team last year, too.

“It just feels really good because I wasn’t able to make it last year. I feel really good about qualifying,” Thomson said.

The 2016 season wasn’t short on distractions either, the largest being the talks leading up to an eventual split between Collins-Maxwell and Baxter.

“This is our last year together so it’s really exciting,” Moody said.

“Even though I didn’t make it individually, we get to go as a team, and that’s what matters to me more.”

Jessen was able to experience the state meet last year as an individual.

This season, it was all about doing what she could to get the entire roster to Fort Dodge with her.

“This was more about the team because its our last year together,” Jessen said. “It’s amazing. It’s been great to see us succeed with all that has been going on around us.”

Johnson had a bittersweet day.

Last year, running for West Mar-

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter teammates Brenna Thomson (4871), Heather Jessen (4866) and Ashlee Johnson, left, run in the Class 2A state qualifier in Pella on Thursday. The fifth-ranked Raiders finished second, one point back of fourth-ranked Mid-Prairie.

shall, Johnson veered off the course because of an injury. She didn’t reach the finish line. Thursday, Johnson finished the race, but the junior had a bit higher expectations for herself.

“At the line, it was stressful. I knew we could make it as a team, but you just don’t want to let anyone down,” Johnson said. “I just kept telling myself that I had to do it for the team. Then I just felt tired during the race, but I had to keep going.

“It’s a good feeling to know that I can count on the other girls when I have a bad day, but I’m mad at myself because I should have done better. I know I can do better.”

The good news for Johnson is that she’ll get the chance for more redemption in Fort Dodge on Oct. 29.

“We’re just really excited that we all get the chance to go to Fort Dodge and run at state as CMB,” Ratliff said. “We have all worked hard all season. We are glad that we get to show what we are made of.”

Here are the complete results for the two area teams from Thursday’s meet: Girls 6. Brenna Thomson, So., 20:29.3, CMB 7. Heather Jessen, Sr., 20:41.3, CMB 14. Lauren Ratliff, So., 21:01.3, CMB 17.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe sophomore Kirstin Ives was the first female Mustang to cross the finish line Thursday at the Class 2A state qualifier in Pella.

Ives was 21st overall.

Class 1A: Lynnville-Sully, Colfax-Mingo teams run in cross country state qualifier Continued from Page 1B Ilia Hostetter was 15th in 21:58.3 and Gruver took 16th in 22:07.7.

Colfax-Mingo and Lynnville-Sully competed in the Class 1A state qualifying cross country meet Thursday. There were no state qualifiers from Lynnville-Sully for girls or boys and no Tigerhawk boys finished in the top 15.

The top 15 individual finishers and the top three teams in each division advance to the state cross country championship meet Oct. 29 in Fort Dodge.

“Dakota showed once again she is one of the best runners in the state,” Colfax-Mingo coach Zach Tomas said.

“There were a couple of top 10 ranked girls who had beaten her this year, but she is determined to finish her career with her best performances. It was certainly special tonight when Ilia also qualified. This is the third Hostetter girl to qualify for the state meet (in my time).”

Eighth-ranked Newman Catholic won the girls’ team title with 68 points and Colo-NESCO claimed second place with 89 points. Westfork, which is ranked No. 10, captured third with 92 points.

Colfax-Mingo’s girls were fifth in the team race with 125 points. Lynnville-Sully ended up seventh with 179 points in a field of 19 teams.

“The state qualifying meet

is either going to be your final meet of the season or where your team or individuals punch their ticket at a chance to compete at the state meet next week,” Lynnville-Sully coach Darin Arkema said.

“Both our teams ran great races to put final touches on the season.”

Dakota Hostetter was one of two seniors finishing in the top 15 in the girls’ race. Most of the regular season, she ran a race then took off to play a volleyball match for the Tigerhawks on the same night. Not on Thursday, as she was able to enjoy the moment of winning a regional championship and having her younger sister qualify along with her.

“Ilia is one of the hardest working athletes, and it paid off tonight. She ran such a gutsy race.” Tomas said. “Our girls as a whole were only 33 points from a state trip. It’s easy to play the what might have been game but we are still proud of what we accomplished this season.”

There were seven freshmen

finishing in the top 15 of the girls’ race. North Mahaska’s freshman Cheyenne Shaw, who is ranked No. 8, was second in 20:21.5 and Newman Catholic freshman Chloe Nelson was third in 20:23.7. Class 1A second-ranked freshman Reagan Weinheimer, of Nodaway Valley, took fourth in 20:45.6.

The other senior qualifying for the girls’ state meet was Newman Catholic’s Meghan Sullivan. She was seventh.

“Abby had one of the best final quarter mile finishes to a cross country race of any athlete I’ve coached,” Arkema said. “She was around 20th place with that much left in the race, but switched gears and began a hard charge to pick off the competitors one at a time that were spaced out in front of her. She passed everyone of those girls, but unfortunately for her, the 15th finisher had crossed the line 9 seconds in front of her and she was one spot from being an individual state qualifier.”

Top-ranked Nodaway Val-

ley’s boys won the team title with 33 points and No. 8 Eagle Grove was second with 98 points.

We s t f o r k , which is 14thranked, took Craver third with 125 points led by top-ranked senior Jake Hansen, who was the individual champion with a time of 16:38 for the 5K race.

Colfax-Mingo senior Cameron Warner was the top area boys’ finisher, taking 21st in 18:01.3. Colfax-Mingo finished 11th as a team with 297 points in a field of 19 teams.

Tomas said Warner had a great season and career for the Tigerhawks. He had one of the best races of his career on Thursday, Tomas said.

“When we make comparisons to last year, we certainly made a lot of progress this year,” Tomas said.

“I am so proud of our seniors and appreciate all they have done for our team, especially Will Dunsbergen and Dakota, who have been a part of the program since seventh grade. They have helped to completely transform the landscape. We have about three times the number of runners we had when they started.”

Lynnville-Sully was ninth as a team with 271 points.

Senior Jared Craver led the Hawks with a 42nd-place finish in 19:01.4.

Arkema said he was proud of the Hawk boys as they stayed relaxed early and did not get caught up in spending too much energy too quickly.

He said Craver completed a strong senior season, which was his first cross country season.

Here are the complete results for the two area teams from Thursday’s meet: Girls 1. Dakota Hostetter, Sr., 20:05.2, Colfax-Mingo 15. Ilia Hostetter, So., 21:58.3, Colfax-Mingo 16.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B in the results, but it was not from a lack of effort. The girls gave their all in this last race, and that’s all that can be asked,” Newton head girls’ coach Rachelle Tipton said.

Newton’s boys were ninth with 239 points. Three ranked teams claimed the three team qualifying spots — 12thranked Cedar Rapids Washington won the meet with 43 points followed by No. 9 Iowa City High with 60 points for second and 13th-ranked Linn-Mar in third with 65 points.

“The season ended in the best fashion possible. All scoring runners came in with times that were personal records,” Newton head boys’ coach Steve Weeks said. “The boys knew they had a tough slate running an 4A district meet but still gave it their all in practice. We were a few points away from eighth place, but were still pleased with the personal results that we got with all the fantastic times.

We hadn’t had a runner in the 17-minute marks until a few weeks ago and then to end the season with all scorers in the 17s and 18s was fantastic.”

The top three teams and top 15 individual finishers qualify for the Class 4A state cross country meet on Oct. 29 in Fort Dodge.

Sophomore Rachel Rhoads led the Cardinal girls with a 33rd-place time of 20 minutes, 51.23 seconds. Rhoads qualified for the Class 3A state meet a year ago, finishing 27th at the state meet.

“I know Rachel is disappointed in not returning to state, but she had a great sophomore season. She can take a lot to build on for next

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High sophomore Rachel Rhoads (3210) breathes as she tries to overtake another runner during Thursday’s Class 4A state qualifying cross country meet at Noel Ridge Park in Cedar Rapids. Rhoads was the top runner for the Cardinal girls, finishign 33rd in the 5K race.

year — she’s not done yet,” Tipton said.

Junior Tessa Keeton turned in a personal-best time of 21:31.20 for 39th followed by sophomore Abbie Barr, who

placed 46th in a season’s-best time of 21:58.87.

“Tessa got out and competed well today, she made a move near the first mile and didn’t look back. She beat

some Ottumwa girls who had beaten her earlier this year,” Tipton said. “Abbie had another solid race and it was great to see her back under 22:00.”

Freshman Abby Altman and sophomore Caelyn Briley were 51st and 52nd in 22:28.57 and 22:33.23, respectively. Altman’s was a personal-best time and Briley had a season’s best time. Freshman Jenna Smith ran a personal-best time of 23:17.75 for 60th.

Tipton said Altman, Briley and an opponent had a fall right at the start of the race, out of sight of the starter so no restart. She said they popped back up and went on even more determined.

“I could see as they raced, it wasn’t going to deter them,” Tipton said. “Jenna looked awesome today, relaxed and just going with the competition. She ran the Des Moines Half Marathon on Sunday, and I told her these three miles would feel like nothing.

A 2-minute personal-record to end the season is exciting.”

Iowa City High senior Mary Arch, who is ranked 15th, was the girls’ individual champion, running the course in 18:27.88. Cedar Rapids Kennedy freshman Ella Popenhagen, who is ranked No. 11, was second in 18:28.18, just ahead of Iowa City high sophomore Anna Lindower in third at 18:28.64.

In the boys’ 5K race, sixthranked Linn-Mar senior Ryan Murphy claimed the individual title with a time of 15:57.06.

Iowa City High senior Mattew Dodge was second in 16:02.05 and 22nd-ranked Cedar Rapids Washington senior Sam McDermott in third at 16:02.70.

Newton junior Jack Callaghan paced the Cardinal boys, finishing 36th in 17:20.01. Senior Noah Sander placed 44th in 17:38.82 and sophomore Adam Hunter finished 47th in 17:42.49.

Juniors Tyler Dafflitto and Dylan Main placed 53rd and 59th, respectively, in 18:24.48 and 18:45.95. Freshman Luke Zaabel took 62nd in 19:33.77 and junior Brad Portner came in 63rd in 19:34.19.

“This is exactly how we want to end the year, with everyone healthy and hitting their peak running form,” Weeks said. “The dedication put into a very grueling twoweek stretch paid off to the point the runners all seemed very excited for running in the off season and getting ready for next year. We have discussed off-season running and what it will take to take the team to greater heights.”

Weeks said the boys graduate Sander and Spencer Elbert, who have provided tremendous senior leadership for the Cardinals this season.

He said the team returns six of the seven varsity runners for next year.

“The team will sorely miss these two as they have been huge impacts in the team scoring and in team unity. We wish them the best of luck and are grateful for having them on the team,” Weeks said. “We now look forward to the transitions into winter sports, off season training, and getting ready to get new runners from the middle school team who just finished their season by winning the Little Hawkeye Conference title.”

For the Newton girls, they ran the qualifying meet without any seniors. Tipton said the Cardinal girls are a young team and lots of potential for next year.

“We had ups and downs and bumps and bruises throughout this season, but we finished it out and ended on high notes,” Tipton said of the Newton girls. “I am proud of these girls for showing perseverance, staying positive, and being supportive of each other. From those who couldn’t finish out the season to our fastest girl, this is a team and a fun one.”

Astrograph

This Cancer moon antagonizes as it travels, catcalling Jupiter, whistling at Neptune, giving Saturn flippant war words then goading Mars, for good measure. No bones about it: This is a mean moon. Then again, the Cancer moon can flip on a dime and be suddenly as sweet as dulce de leche and half as fattening.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 21). This is your year to reach, risk and transform (in a relatively painless way, to boot). As you devote yourself to helping others, your self-esteem will grow through the year. Fabulous happenings in February and June will come affordably to you. You’ll

share your story and win fans, friends and love in the new year. Scorpio and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 5, 20, 11 and 42.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The loud shirt, the bright shoes -- go on. Show up the moment; it will never again this way come. In one way or another, you will create a most treasured memory.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Give what is needed, but do not over give or you’ll be taken for granted. Friends who love each other are the best kind to hang out with -- the good feelings are contagious.

641-792-3100 2400 First Avenue East • Newton, Iowa 50208 SM-NE8142551-1027

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). To be objective is to understand the value of life without being weighed down by it. Actively practicing detachment skills will bring you many peak experiences and special moments.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

When the flies land on the sweet, sticky flypaper, resistance is futile. They land; they die. There are many human equivalents to this out there, some obvious, some not so. Be alert and aware so you can land with assurance.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’re willing to go to a far place to let go of troublesome thoughts, emotions, memories and sensations, but you needn’t endure the travel. You can let go from

connection and you’ll have a breakthrough.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

They love you. They’ll let you know this when it matters.

Until then, they’ll bask in your affection and annoy you a little while making your life harder than it has to be.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Your flaws make you likable. Really! Covering up your flaws, however, will work against you. People get nervous about coverups, even if the thing under the cover is adorable.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Your rules will apply. Your restrictions will be honored.

Your expectations will be met.

If you have yet to set those kinds of systems up, do it today, because you’re favored to get it right!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

When your personal life is going strong, the rest of your life tends to fall neatly into place.

Make a meaningful personal

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your excitement over an upcoming event is truly half the fun. Revel in these plans.

Put more thought into this than is reasonable, because it’s about as big a deal as you are willing to make it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

There are a lot of rules that play into today’s action, but the one that will matter the most is

this: “Always be closing.” This is the rule you’ll thrive by. If it’s not on the bottom line, it’s not.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

With social graces, timing is everything. What’s unpleasant in one moment is charming and refreshing in the next.

Much will depend on your ability to read the room well and pace yourself to that beat.
