Park board nears Aurora playground selection

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News Newton Park Board members have come one step closer to making a new Aurora Park playground design selection at its board meeting Wednesday night at city hall.

Two designs were presented by Cunningham Recreation representative Timothy Kisgen at the meeting. Both options

met the $50,000 budget, which includes product, surfacing, delivery and a two-day supervised installation, and were designed to compliment a potential rock-boulder theme at the park.

The main feature board members hope to have in its final selection is a zipline, and a 75-foot-long zipline is proposed in the design.

A representative was asked to give a presen-

tation to discuss warranty and durability. The zipline would have a lifetime warranty and hold up to 14,000 pounds.

The part modern, part traditional playground will include other playground structures such as slides, swings and a high demand expression swing which would allow a parent and child to swing together.

End of Biden’s run means end of ‘Draft Biden Iowa’

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie spoke to a town-hall meeting attended by about 60 people at the Raceway Cafe in Newton on Wednesday. The 2016 Republican presidential hopeful also answered questions, including one about renewable fuels, where he said “this is not the time to get off the bus.”

Christie, anti-Trump bus show up at Raceway Cafe

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s appearance Wednesday at Newton’s Raceway Cafe had all of the elements of most campaign events — including a bus.

The bus, formerly used for candidate Donald Trump during his Iowa campaigns, is now the property of the anonymous artist t.Rutt, who has hired artists to repaint and drive the bus from Iowa to Philadelphia. Wednesday, the bus was at the town hall style meeting at Raceway Cafe for Christie, the 2016 Repub-

lican presidential hopeful, who didn’t acknowledge the bus even when it drove by on First Avenue East during the event.

“Christie is one of the few Republicans whose words have actually helped unify the party,” said Dave Gleeson, who was at the wheel of the bus as it prepared to leave Newton after Wednesday’s event. “The artist believes Christie is one of the people who can help drive Trump to drop out of the campaign.”

The bus features the modified “T.Rump” as both a play on the artist’s pseudonym and its former namesake. It also features the

phrase “Women Trump Trump” and “Hasta la Vista, Donny!” among other political slogans related to the candidate.

About 60 people and several Iowa and national media outlets packed inside the Raceway Cafe for Christie’s more than 90 event. The candidate spoke for about 20 minutes and then began taking questions from the attendees, many of which involved economic and national security issues.

One man asked Christie if he would have the courage to pull CHRISTIE | 3A

Vice President Joe Biden’s announcement Wednesday that he won’t seek the 2016 Democratic presidential nomination immediately sent other events into motion — though those events didn’t include endorsements of other candidates from two local Democrats.

State Sen. Chaz Allen (D-Newton) and Jasper County Treasurer Doug Bishop, both of whom voiced support for the “Draft Biden Iowa” Super PAC in September told the Newton Daily News on Wednesday they are both disappointed Biden is Allen not running, but neither are ready to endorse another Democrat in the 2016 caucus race.

“I’ll be looking for a candidate that’s willing to reach across the aisle,” Allen said. “You’ve got to be willing to work with more than one party in order to get things accomplished, and Biden has always done that.”

Bishop thinks Biden would have Bishop livened up the Democratic race.

An apple a day

in a new way

Fitness Courses Newton YMCA

1701 S. Eighth Ave. E.

Classes are free for members; $9 for a nonmember adult day pass.

Current through Nov. 5 Arthritis Foundation YMCA Aquatic Program Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays — 1 to 2 p.m.

This class is geared toward those with arthritis and other joint or muscle problems. Exercises are done in the water to help alleviate pain and increase movement.

By Emily Ring RD, LD Newton Hy-Vee Dietitian Sweet, tart, crisp or crunchy — no matter what your preference, there’s a variety of apple that’s perfect for you. With flavors ranging from sweet tart, sharp tart, zesty, spicy sweet and honey-like to mellow sweet, apples are an amazing fall treat.

Flavor-infused waters are all the rage right now. A new way to enjoy apples and make sure you are well-hydrated at the same time is to make apple-flavored water. To make apple cinnamon-flavored water: 1. Take an empty glass pitcher or other beverage container. Wash your favorite medium-sized eating apple thoroughly before slicing and remember: thinner slices will allow more flavor to seep out into the water than thicker slices.

2. Muddling, or slightly mashing the apples with the back of a spoon or a potato masher, will break the cell walls of the apple flesh to release more flavor.

3. Next, add cinnamon sticks.

Start with two or three sticks, adding more for a stronger flavor.

4. Add filtered still water or sparkling water to the apple/cinnamon stick mixture and refrigerate several hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Enjoy.

Popular “eating apples” in the Midwest include Honeycrisp, Gala, Cortland, Macintosh, Zestar, SweeTango, Paula Red, Braeburn, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious and Pink Lady.

Nothing says “fall” like fresh, homemade apple sauce or a slice of warm apple pie made with Grandma’s TLC. Apples particularly suited for cooking or baking include Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, Pink Lady, Haralson, Empire, Ginger Gold, Jonagold, Jonathon, Northern Spy Fuji, Rome Beauty and Baldwin.

Take advantage of apple tastings when possible because a new favorite may be waiting to be discovered by you.

Once your favorite apple varieties have been picked out, choose apples for purchase that don’t have bruising and have the rich coloring of reds, yellows and greens particular to the variety.

The apple should feel firm and heavy compared to its size. For best results, apples should be stored in a 35 to 40 degree refrigerator. Placing apples in a perforated plastic bag before refrigerating allows for an exchange of air, but slows dehydration.

Snacking on apples rather than eating sugary candy or drinking sugary drinks is a great way to practice a healthy lifestyle.

Apples are rich in soluble fiber — the fiber that absorbs and eliminates bad cholesterol from the body and may also play a role in preventing gallstones.

Apples also contain insoluble fiber, beneficial for digestion and a feeling of fullness to help curb the appetite between meals. Pigments in the apple peel contain health-protecting compounds called flavonoids, and the Vitamin C found just under the peel promotes wound healing and immune health.

Apples also provide potassium beneficial for heart health.

Did you know eating an apple even stimulates saliva production in the mouth, which helps reduce levels of bacteria linked to tooth decay?

The only thought left is — have you had your apple today either as an old favorite or in a brandnew way?

Dried Apples Serves 8, 6 slices each Active time: 10 minutes 2 hours, 40 minutes 4 cups water 1/2 cup lemon juice 2 large apples 1. Position rack in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 200 degrees. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

2. Combine water and lemon juice in a medium bowl. (The lemon juice helps prevent browning.)

3. Using a sharp knife or a mandoline, slice two large apples as thin as possible, about 1/8-inch thick. (We skip peeling and coring because we like the look of the dried skins and the pretty pattern the core makes in the center.)

Soak the slices in the lemon water for 30 minutes. Drain and pat as dry as possible with paper towels. Place on the prepared baking sheets in a single layer.

4. Bake the slices on the upper and lower racks for one hour.

Remove from the oven and turn each slice over; return the pans to the oven. Bake one more hour for soft dried apples or about two more hours for crispy apple chips.

(Timing depends on your oven, the type of apple and thickness of the slices; check periodically and adjust the total time as needed.)

Turn off the oven, crack the door and leave the apples in until the oven cools completely, one to two hours.

Store airtight for up to one week or refrigerate for up to one month.

For crispy apple chips, bake the apples about one hour more.

The most lengthy dialogue Christie had was with a woman who favors medical cannabis.

Christie became frustrated with the woman talking over him, and stuck to his position that marijuana is a “gateway drug” and that he only supports medical cannabis “in rare medical circumstances.”

In response to a question about the George Washington bridge scandal, Christie said he “has hired thousands

of people, and a few of them went off the reservation.” He said he was tried and convicted in the media before many facts came to light.

Christie closed by describing himself as someone who doesn’t change positions “as the wind blows.”

“People who don’t agree with me on everything still voted for me more than once,” he said. “You will always know where I stand.”

Special guests on hand for Newton vs. Newton reading challenge

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The driver of the semi that struck a house along First Avenue East on Oct. 5 was not intoxicated, according to a report released Wednesday by the Newton Police Department.

The report says Nicholas D. Lewis, of Minooka, Ill., driving for Bailey Transport, LLC, began to have a coughing attack while driving the Volvo semi and its empty trailer west along First Avenue East. He told police he lost consciousness, and didn’t regain it until people were helping him out of the vehicle after the crash.

His truck apparently jumped the curb

near the west entrance to the nearby Casey’s General Store.

The semi leveled the front porch of the house, located at 1004 First Ave. E., but did not strike the main house. The only resident of the house who was home at the time, Tracy DeKoning, was not injured.

Lewis, who walked to an a nearby ambulance, was taken to Skiff Medical Center, but he was soon released, as he had no major injuries.

He was cited by NPD for failing to maintain control.

The report also says Lewis had “no signs of chemical impairment.”

Administrative park superintendent Nathan Unsworth, along with board members Jim Klier, Marc Jackson and Adam Vandall, decided to wait on missing members Amanda Price and Melanie Humphrey before making a final selection. The board will meet in the next two weeks to determine a final design and then take the proposal to Newton City Council.

The new playground will be installed early spring 2016.

In other news: • Westwood Golf Course Clubhouse Project was briefly discussed as an agenda item. The board is waiting on cost estimates from an architectural firm before seeking any further discussion. The project, if approved, would take up two or three years before completion, Unsworth said.

• Park and golf fees for the upcoming year were discussed. Unsworth proposed that there be no budget fee changes. The board will wait to approve, with more statistics, at next months meeting.

• Brandon Sleik and Rob Skokan spoke about their ideas for the Thirty Acre Park in Newton.

They would like to see the park become a jib park which is like a skate park for snow boards, Sleik said. Half the park would be used for casual, recreational purposes and the other half for more active, commercial use. The recreational side would include trails, cross country skiing, biking, and archery and be family-friendly. The active side would include a extreme sport park, commercial and social space. The park would be four-season which would be attractive to tourists, Sleik and Skokan said.

• Unsworth gave an update on the Aurora Park tennis courts. An asphalt base was chosen over the plastic option and the asphalt is being laid this week. Surfacing will be done in the spring to mid-summer depending on the temperatures.

Staff will paint tennis and pickleball lines on the asphalt as well.

• The board agreed to endorse Newton Fest.

I just voted and it feels so good

By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | Oct. 22, 2015

Editor’s note: This column originally published Oct. 30, 2014.

Voter mobilization is what put President Barack Obama in the White House. Whether you agree with his policies or not, his ability to express his positions in his first campaign in 2007-08 and translate that energy into votes is what put him past opponents Hillary Clinton and eventually Sen. John McCain.

His first visit to the University of Iowa campus and Iowa City public venues in 2007 was a textbook illustration of his abilities. Students and young, potential voters were sitting in the trees in the downtown Iowa City pedestrian mall, hoping to gain a height advantage over the crowd to catch a glimpse of the politician who had achieved rock-star status.

One branch even broke under the weight of two 20-somethings, but the crowd did not break their concentration on the would-be-president.

At this point, Obama was not considered the front-runner and was a little-known senator barely within the top five Democratic candidates.

But he took the momentum from Iowa City, mobilized the youth vote and beat the presumptive nominee, Clinton, in the Iowa Caucus.

During the 2012 first-inthe-nation contest, it was a sweater vest-wearing former senator from Pennsylvania who surprised everyone.

During the onset of the Iowa Caucus, I covered then-front runner Rep. Michele Bachmann at a campaign stop in Newton. Bachmann pulled into the Highway 14 Pizza

Ranch looking like she was on tour with the Rolling Stones.

Her campaign bus was large and personalized. She had a crowd of more than 100 people a few days after winning the Iowa Straw Pull.

A few miles away, former Sen. Rick Santorum sat on a folding chair at the Newton YMCA with six people in the auditorium. But the tea-party conservative kept hitting the pavement in Iowa. The night prior to Caucuses, the Pizza Ranch was overflowing with supporters, media such as David Gregory and Diane Sawyer and a few protesters.

But this time the party was for Santorum.

Opinion polls, campaigning and analysts matter, but the final vote is what counts.

The apathy of non-voters has nearly as much affect on the

outcome as the those who cast a ballot.

Every person within U.S. boarders has the right to protest and complain about the government. What keeps U.S. integrity in tact, even while facing challenges to our civil liberties, is we can freely and openly find fault in our elected officials without fear of persecution. But unless one takes the time to punch that ballot, fill that bubble or poke that screen, they’ve lost the moral high ground to object policies U.S. leaders put forth.

If you’re able, you want to make a difference and you want to affect the policies which govern your daily life, vote.

Letters to the Editor

Medicare Advantage is working for seniors Jane Carlson ​Prairie City With all the talk about what’s wrong with health care in America, I want to talk about a program that’s actually working well: Medicare Advantage.

It’s important for the next president to understand why Medicare Advantage is so important to seniors in Iowa and across America. This program allows folks eligible for Medicare to enroll in a private health

Dissatisfaction is building

Sam Osborne West Brach Following last week’s Democratic presidential debate a bulk of establishment media immediately commenced reporting that Hillary Clinton was the winner, but a day later it started coming out that Bernie Sanders had won the hearts and minds of masses of people expressing themselves via social media. And of social media, Pogo from the comic strips of yesteryear might say in paraphrase of meeting an enemy: We have met the social media and they is us.

And by this us, Bernie Sand-

plan, much like working Americans do.

With “old fashioned” Medicare, seniors are responsible for a large chunk of every medical bill, so tight budgets may keep many seniors from regularly seeking care. And since they are left to coordinate care pretty much on their own, important elements are sometimes missed.

But Medicare Advantage provides complete coverage and has protections to make sure seniors aren’t saddled with unexpected costs. Because the costs are often more reliable,

seniors on Medicare Advantage are also more likely to visit their primary care doctors to treat issues before they become bigger problems. They are also utilizing health screenings and discounted wellness and fitness programs. As a result, they are staying healthier and are a lot less likely to wind up in the hospital.

I have one message to presidential candidates visiting our state: Spend time with seniors and learn why Medicare Advantage means so much to those who have it.

ers was considered a winner by echoing the concerns and desires of Americans that expect government of the people, by the people and for the people to move up and beyond today’s all too common political wrangling, same old talking heads from the media telling us what we think, and individuals of great wealth telling us what we deserve to have.

Those that consider themselves the establishment of politics, media and economics refuse to consider that a burgeoning majority of Americans are totally fed up with what these folks in the supposed know offer, report and insist will ever be because they say so. Dissatisfaction

is building to the point that with but a modicum of hyperbole it could be said that were the choice for president, or much of anything else, to be between an establishment insisted matchoff between another Clinton or Bush, or a yeller or stray dog that had just wander in, one of the dogs would win in a landslide.

But what say you in the local social media of the opinion page of your community newspaper that serves us in town and countryside. We can agree and disagree on our own as we try to come up with better ideas on living, caring, laughing, and working together with family, friends and acquaintances just down the road. What are you thinking?

Our first night on the farm, which was our wedding night, proved trysty, in more w a y s t h a n o n e .

We had left over tenderloins for supper (c an’t call it By Curt Swarm d i n n e r Guest Columnist a n y m o re — dinner on the farm is at noon), and the tenderloins were almost as good as during the wedding.

You just can’t beat a good ol’ Iowa tenderloin. Since it was our wedding night, I splurged and bought us a pay-per-view movie — “Magic Mike.” I didn’t know it was a chick flick until about halfway through. Oh, well, Ginnie enjoyed it. I can’t imagine why anyone pays to go out to a movie anymore, when you can get this high-def entertainment right here on the farm.

The next morning, we watched the sun rise over our new life. We haven’t fully moved into the farm house yet, so a lot of essentials are still at the other two homes. Ginnie had made sure we had eggs and bacon for breakfast, but there was no salt and pepper. Oh, well. Cheggars can’t be boozy, is what I always say.

After breakfast, and finishing loading up the tables and chairs from the outdoor wedding, we grabbed Buddy and my camera and went for a Sunday drive in Ginnie’s new John Deere Gator.

Temperatures climbed into the 80s, on this first grand-and-glorious fall day of our new life.

Buddy was content to ride in the cargo box until I just about tipped us over on a steep embankment. Then only Ginnie’s lap would do.

We decided to go see if our neighbor was home, Richard Cornick, and introduce ourselves. As we were pulling into his long, shady drive, here he comes in his utility vehicle, a Kawasaki Mule. He had friend, Brenda, with him, two German Shepherds and a camera. Only in the country will you go joy rid-

ing in a utility vehicle, and run into your neighbors, also in a UV, also with dog, also with camera.

Buddy had a major barking fit, while the German Shepherds, thankfully, just seemed amused. They could have eaten Buddy with one bite.

I asked the man if he was Richard Cornick, and he said if I was a bill collector, no; if I had money to hand out, yes. We had a chuckle, then Richard and Brenda showed us the Cornick spread. Right neighborly.

Returning to our “farm,” we opened wedding presents, then drove into my old house in Mt. Pleasant, to do some more moving.

Our photographer from the wedding stopped by with wedding pics. It’s amazing what Photoshop can do to make a wedding couple in their mid-to-late sixties look good. While the photographer was there, I horn-swallowed him into helping me load a couch and recliner into the trailer. Seems like every time I need a hand, someone shows up. I call them Angels.

Then came supper on our first full day at the farm. We were to have sweet-and-sour chicken (from a package) and salad. I scurried out to the garden and picked some fresh tomatoes left by the previous owners. When I asked for a sharp knife to slice the tomatoes, guess what? Yep, no knives. We had some plastic knives from the wedding. Yeah, right. The only knife we had was my little red penknife, with it’s pig-sticking, inch-and-half crusty, rusty blade. Any port in a storm. I got the tomatoes stabbed, cucumber cut and radishes ratcheted.

Still no salt and pepper.

Now, bowls for the salad. Yep, no bowls. What to do? Buddy’s food and water dishes, rinsed out, worked just fine. Like John Denver sings, “Life on the farm, is kinda laid back. Ain’t much an old country boy like me can’t hack.”

Old habits die hard during woman’s transition to a man DEAR ABBY: My daughter has been in a lesbian relationship for 14 years. They recently took me to lunch and informed me that her partner, “Nicole,” is in the process of transitioning to a male.

Nicole has now legally changed her name to “Nick” and has begun hormone treatments. They have been going to counseling for the past six months. Since Nick began the transition, I have seen him three times. Last week when I was visiting, I accidentally called Nick by the wrong pronoun, “she” instead of “he” a couple of times.

I was either immediately corrected or ignored until I realized I had used the wrong word. It hurt my feelings.

After I got home I sent Nick a text to apologize and explain that it would take time for me to get used to saying “Nick” and referring to him as a he. I told them their correcting me bothered me. All weekend I could tell they were irritated with me, and I felt it was uncalled for.

What do you say? Am I wrong to feel hurt that they haven’t given me a chance to get used to the new name?

— MARGARET IN MISSISSIPPI DEAR MARGARET: Adjusting to gender reassignment takes time for all concerned. As your letter illustrates, there are often more people involved than the individual making the change.

It seems only natural that you would need some time to adjust. However, it also seems to me that you are being overly sensitive about what happened.

Your daughter and her partner were right to correct you for your slip of the tongue, and it wasn’t rude for them to do so. How else is a person to learn that a mistake was made if it isn’t pointed out?

DEAR ABBY: Recently, 12 of us women from a retirement home in Dayton were having lunch at a local steakhouse. As we were digging in our purses for money and coupons,

our server informed us that we did not owe anything for our bills! He said a gentleman who had been seated nearby had taken care of what we owed. It seems the day we were there was his late mother’s birthday.

There are some very good people in this world. We want him to know how very much we appreciated his kind gesture, and we have pledged to “pay it forward” whenever we can. — BLESSED IN OHIO DEAR BLESSED: I don’t know who originated this saying, but your letter certainly proves the truth of it: A good deed is like a pebble thrown into a pond; its ripples continue ever outward. Thank you for an upper of a letter.

DEAR ABBY: We were visiting our son and daughter-in-law last weekend. When I had to use the facilities downstairs, I told her the hand towel was missing. I had used that bathroom the day before. Guess what she said?

“Well, that’s what pants are for.”

Abby, she wasn’t joking! We see them only twice a year because we live five hours away. Could they be short of money or what? Should I send her some hand towels? — WET HANDS IN WISCONSIN DEAR WET HANDS: By all means. And don’t forget a short, sweet note thanking her for her “hospitality.”

1 Carved totem pole takes root between library, school

CARTER LAKE — A 14-feet-tall totem pole has a new home between a library and elementary school in southwestern Iowa.

About 50 people attended dedication ceremony for the colorful totem Tuesday. It stands in the Wilson’s Grove potted tree nursery on Edward F. Owen Memorial Library grounds, in between the library and Carter Lake Elementary School. The Daily Nonpareil reports that Omaha resident Lowen Kruse began making the totem more than four years ago after a windstorm knocked the branches off of a 60-year-old hackberry tree on his property.

SIOUX CITY — A Sioux City woman has been given 25 years in prison for the death of her baby son and the neglect of two other children. Online court records say Rebekah Williams-McCarthy pleaded guilty on Tuesday to two counts of child endangerment and one of neglect of a dependent person.

Subject reportedly hit by car

Clearview receives grant to purchase kids’ dining items

By Alex Olp Prairie City News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News A 911 call came in at about 12:25 p.m. Wednesday regarding a male subject hit by a car on South Sixth Avenue East between East Fourth Street South and East 4 1/2 Street South. There was not much information available about the victim at press time. Newton Police Department Lt. Wayne Winchell said the call came from the victim himself after an apparent hit-and-run, and he did not have the name or age of the victim. He was taken to Skiff Medical Center by Newton Fire, and his condition was unknown. The only description given for the vehicle was a gray or dark silver passenger car.

Prairie City’s Clearview Recovery is continuing to upgrade its facility as it has recently received $1,800 in grant money to improve the dining experience of its clients and their children.

Clearview is a substance abuse treatment facility that serves women of all ages and situations.

It helps individuals recover from addictions while their children live with them.

Variety — the Children’s Charity — funded the grant, which will be used to purchase high chairs, booster chairs, dinnerware, silverware, sippy

cups and other flatware.

Clearview Director Scott Pritchard has already purchased six high chairs and five booster chairs, which will be available for his clients shortly.

Clearview has an average of 11 to 22 children in the facility on any given day. Most are under the age of 5 and due to the lack of available boosters and high chairs, kids have had to eat in shifts and use adult-sized dinnerware.

The addition of these items will solve the inconvenience issue, and also help families enjoy regular meals with the proper utensils for the children.

“A lot of the clients

and children come from dysfunctional families.

A lot of them might not even know what a dinner table is,” Pritchard said.

“So it’s nice to have our dining room area and tables in a kitchen so mom can have a plate they can put food on and have silverware and plasticware so they can actually eat with it instead of using their fingers to eat.”

Clearview has 19 clients housed in its facility and 28 children, though many of the kids aren’t permanent residents.

The purchase of booster seats and child-sized dinnerware is just another step in further creating a home-like feel for its clients.

PCPD loses chief, full-time officer to resignations

By Mike Mendenhall Prairie City News The Prairie City Police Department will be losing its police chief and a full-time officer by the first week in November.

Prairie City Police Chief Will Mortenson and fulltime police officer David Funk both Mortensen submitted their letters of resignation to Prairie City Mayor Chad Alleger last week.

Mortenson, 31, has accepted a position with a Kansas

City-area police department, and his resignation in Prairie City will be effective Nov. 7.

He has served with the PCPD for 10 years, rising through the ranks from reserve to fulltime police officer — replacing former police chief Louis Modlin.

Mortenson’s resignations comes only weeks after his department was denied the purchase of a new police vehicle to replace an aging unit — and subsequently dropped from a three vehicle to two vehicle fleet — and during a fiscal year where the department lost approximately $25,300 from its budget cut.

But Mortenson said his resignation was a personal

decision made between himself and his family. His new position as a police officer for Kansas University Medical Center will mean a much shorter commute to work for Mortenson’s wife.

“I think the fact that I’ve been here for 10 years shows Prairie City is a good place to work,” Mortenson said. “As I indicated in my letter, my time at the PCPD has made me a better police officer.”

In Mortenson’s letter, the chief thanked Alleger, the city council and city staff for working as a team for public safety in Prairie City.

“It is with a heavy heart I am leaving this prestigious position with the Prairie City

HOW WE MADE THE GYRAFOAM Now Available!

Only $19.99 plus tax

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

Police Department, which is well known for its integrity and commitment to public service,” Mortenson wrote.

“My wife and I have chosen to relocate, following her new career path.”

Mortenson said he intends on replacing Funk — who has served as a Prairie City police officer since January 2014 — before he leaves the chief role.

Prairie City currently has three full-time and four part-time police officers. The PCPD is budgeted for five part-time positions but still has an open spot from a resignation early this year.

The city council now has to decide how to or if it will replace Mortenson. At a can-

didate’s forum last Thursday night at PCM Middle School, Alleger revealed he’s been in talks with the City of Monroe’s two mayoral candidates about reopening the potential of a police chief sharing agreement with the Monroe Police Department. In the still-hypothetical model, both cities would maintain independent police forces but share a chief.

Alleger said the measure would be budget neutral but resources coming from two cities would allow both towns to have 24-hour-per-day police coverage — something that currently eludes Prairie City.

Pregame Outlook —

Cardinals clash with Cubs in season finale

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Friday is Senior Night for Newton High football as the Cardinals host Nevada’s Cubs in the season finale for both teams. The Cardinals (0-8) and Cubs (2-6) are both winless in Class 3A District action at 0-5 apiece.

Also Friday at H.A. Lynn Stadium will be NHS junior cheerleader night and the Core Power Football Frenzy.

Core Power is a high protein milkshake. The game between Newton and Nevada is one on the Core Power tour of Iowa high school football programs this season.

With all that swirling around them, the Cardinal football players are focused in snapping the team’s losing streak this season. Sixteen seniors lead the Cardinals onto their home field for the final time this season for the 7:30 p.m. kickoff.

“These kids have practiced well for us and given us effort every week this season. They’ve continued to do so this week,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said. “These guys are a real joy to coach. We’ve had good senior leadership through the difficult set of circumstances this year.”

Newton has been plagued with injuries to starters from the start of the season, putting the Cardinals in situations to use less-experienced and younger players. Ergenbright said the good side to it all was a lot of kids not expected to play have had the opportunity to play varsity football.

“Overall, our kids have responded very well and have gotten used to having the next guy up being in there. We’ve adjusted and moved forward,” Ergenbright said.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High head coach Ed Ergenbright talks over a play with a group of players during a Cardinal varsity game this season. The Cardinals wrap up the 2015 season Friday at home against Nevada. Newton is 0-8 going into the Class 3A District 6 contest while Nevada is 2-6, but neither team has a district win.

Newton and Nevada are both looking to use Friday’s game as a boost to the offseason and next season. The Cubs won their first two games of the season, beating Interstate 35 and Saydel. As with the Cardinals, the Cubs struggled in district action.

Nevada has the third-best passing attack in 3A District 6, led by junior quarterback Macade Matuska, who is 63of-132 for 1,065 yards with 11 touchdown passes and four interceptions. Brendan Sellberg and Petyon Sharp each have more than 300 yards in receiving. Andrew Strottman is their leading rusher with 558 yards on 98 carries.

Newton owns the third-

best rushing offense in the district with 1,920 yards on 391 carries. Seniors Joseph Banfield and Dalton Nevels are fourth and 10th on the district rushing list. Banfield, who is a game-time decision after an ankle injury in last Friday’s game, leads Newton with 892 yards on 174 carries.

Nevels had 555 yards on 83 carries.

“The key to winning is we have to play much better on defense. Defense has been our liability all year. Our defensive coaches continue to work really hard to shore things up on that side of the ball,” Ergenbright said. “We’ve proven we can move the ball on offense.

“We need to play a complete game — defense, offense and solid special teams play — to get one in the win column. Our players recognize this. Our seniors have provided leadership and have been good examples of how to respond to adversity. This senior group was a big part of our playoff team a year ago.”

Ergenbright said Nevada has changed to a spread offense with Matuska at the helm.

Nevada and Newton both struggle defensively. Senior linebacker Duncan Lee leads the district in solo tackles with 56 and is third in overall tackles with 71.

Newton will be without senior defensive and offensive

lineman Andrew Weiland, who is sidelined with an ankle injury suffered last week.

Senior receiver Jake Bennett is another game-time decision after a shoulder injury at Bondurant. Senior linebacker Austin James is good to go as is junior lineman Alex Miller.

The lone 0-9 season posted by a Newton football team was in 1959. The 1940 season was winless as well, but the Cardinals played fewer games that year.

In 2009, Newton lost its first six games, then pulled out a 32-27 win on the road over Sioux City North. The Cardinals finished 1-8 that season, which was Newton’s final year in Class 4A football play.

The Newton junior cheerleaders will perform between the 4:45 p.m. freshman game and the varsity game Friday night.

Samples of Core Power high protein milkshakes will be given to fans who stop by the Core Power Booth Friday.

There will be fun yard games, and chances to win prizes.

There will a halftime contest, where three Newton students will compete against one-another in the #EverydayAwesome race, for chances to win Core Power merchandise.

Students have to complete pushups, spin around a dizzy bat and show off their touchdown dance moves.

In addition to the game festivities, Core Power will provide Newton football players with a bottle of Core Power for recovery after practice Thursday. Both Newton and Nevada teams will receive a cold Core Power shake following Friday’s game.

Just win: PCM’s scenario for home playoff game is simple

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News There won’t be any funky tiebreakers when it comes to deciding the final three playoff spots in Class 2A District 7.

A home victory over North Polk on Friday is what the Mustangs need. A loss to the Comets pushes North Polk to the two and drops PCM to the three.

“Our kids really, really want to get that home playoff game,” PCM coach Greg Bonnett said.

“Plus, it’s Senior Night so there will be some extra motivation.”

Logan Gilman, Logan Littrell, Reid Jenkins, Chase Wilkie, Gunnar Davis, Davis Herndon, Austin Sneller and Tyler Foster are part of the senior class that will be honored before the game. It is a group trying to make the regular-season finale the secondto-last home game on the schedule.

Either way, PCM will be in the playoffs again, The Mustangs were the No. 4 seed last year and lost in the opening round to Williamsburg. They can do no worse than third this year. Things have been so much easier for PCM at home where it is 3-0 in 2015.

The biggest reason the Mustangs went from a 4-5, No. 4 seed in 2014 to a 6-2, No. 2-3 seed in 2015 is because of turnovers — or a lack there of.

“The key again for us against North Polk will be to not turn it over,” Bonnett said. “We have turned it over less this year and that’s the biggest reason we are playing for a No. 2 seed.”

PCM and North Polk head into the regular season finale with identical 4-1 district records. Both squads lost to top-ranked Albia — PCM 42-6 and North Polk 56-6.

Offensively, Bonnett said his team will try to get the ball to the playmakers, and he is telling his team to have fun and enjoy the moment.

Area prep football game previews PCM’s playmakers are quarterback Logan Gilman, running back Logan Littrell and wide receivers Luke Greiner and Noah Clark.

Gilman leads 2A in passing yards with 1,742 yards and is second in touchdown passes with 19.

Greiner is third in receptions with 45 and tied for second with 11 touchdowns. Littrell has scored 11 touchdowns on the ground and Clark has caught seven more.

The Mustang defense will have to worry about another standout receiver on the other side of the field.

North Polk’s Matt Cox has 41 catches for 626 yards and four touchdowns. Quarterback Max Karpinske also will be key. He has thrown for 1,484 yards and 12 scores, rushed for 331 yards and scored six times and he has three interceptions on defense and taken two back for scores. Grant Rampton has four picks on defense and three touchdown receptions for the Comet offense.

“We’ll need to know where No. 8 (Cox) is at all times on defense,” Bonnett said. “They have really good wide receivers, a threat at quarterback and the defense is playing really well.

“They don’t quit either. We had them down 14-0 last year and they still came back to thump us.”

Kickoff for the varsity game in Monroe is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

Belle Plaine (5-3, 3-3) at Lynnville-Sully (5-3, 4-2), 7 p.m.

The Hawks can earn the No. 3 seed with a win over Belle Plaine but also can drop to the No. 4 seed or miss the playoffs completely.

Sage Ehresman leads Lynnville-Sully into the regular season finale and a victory gives the Hawks the No. 3 seed out of Class A District 7 with a 5-2 mark.

Belle Plaine can make the playoffs but has to beat Lynnville-Sully by more than five points. Belle

Plaine is eliminated with a loss or a win by five points or fewer. If Belle Plaine wins by less than five points, Montezuma claims the three seed and the Hawks earn the four.

The Hawks will have to deal with a two-headed monster at running back. Joey Schwenn has gained 806 rush yards and scored nine touchdowns, while Zac Slaymaker has 998 rushing yards and 12 scores.

Belle Plaine has rushed for 29 touchdowns in all.

Ehresman leads the Hawks’ rushing attack with 765 yards and 14 touchdowns. Dylan Roozeboom leads the defease with 53 tackles, 13 tackles for loss and three sacks. Kobe Fisk has a team-high four interceptions.

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter (5-3, 2-3) at Centerville (2-6, 2-3), 7 p.m.

A win for either team would lock up the fourth and final playoff spot in Class 2A District 7.

The Raiders will once again be short-handed. Running back Blake Coughenour’s MRI on Monday revealed a torn ACL, and he’s done for the year, while quarterback Hunter McWhirter and center Toren Schultheis will both miss the game due to concussions.

Both CMB and Centerville have lost three of their last four games and each team’s two wins have come against the same teams in Clarke and Davis County.

The Raiders turned it over five times in last week’s loss to North Polk. They’ll try to bounce back against a Centerville squad which is 0-4 at home and has allowed at least 34 points in each of its six losses.

Brett Kauzlarich has 686 yards passing on the season but has thrown 13 interceptions. Bryce Cardani leads the rushing attack with 633 yards and seven touchdowns, while Hunter Cowens has 19 catches for 232 yards and three scores on offense and three interceptions on defense.

TORONTO (AP) — If the Kansas City Royals are going to clinch a trip to their second straight World Series, it’ll happen in front of their home fans.

Marco Estrada made certain it didn’t happen in Canada.

After scoring 22 runs in the previous two games, the Royals were held in check by Estrada, who came up with a superb start in the most important outing of his career, stopping Kansas City’s hit parade and helping the Toronto Blue Jays send the AL Championship Series back to Missouri.

Estrada pitched one-hit ball into the eighth inning, giving Toronto’s tattered bullpen a rest, and the Blue Jays beat the Royals 7-1 Wednesday to close to 3-2 in the best-of-seven series.

“Estrada threw a great game,” Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer said. “We just couldn’t do anything offensively.”

Estrada faced the minimum 20 batters before Lorenzo Cain walked with two outs in the

seventh. Closer Roberto Osuna was perfect in the ninth.

Toronto’s sharp pitching held Cain hitless, snapping his team record 13-game hitting streak in the postseason.

Yordano Ventura will start for the defending AL champions on Friday in Game 6 against Toronto left-hander David Price, the Game 2 loser.

“We’re excited to go home,” Royals pitcher Danny Duffy said. “We wish we could have got it done today but we didn’t.”

Hosmer echoed Duffy’s upbeat vibes.

“Nothing but positivity,” Hosmer said. “We’ve got a 3-2

lead and we’re heading back to Kansas City. That’s where we play our best baseball so everyone is still feeling pretty good.”

Toronto is trying to become just the 13th team of 80 who trailed 3-1 in best-of-seven postseason series to rally and win. It has happened four of 17 times in the LCS, including when the Royals bounced back against the Blue Jays in 1985 en route to Kansas City’s only World Series title.

In this year’s best-of-five Division Series, Toronto lost the first two games before winning three straight against Texas.

“They didn’t let anything slide by today,” Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas said. “They earned that W.” Troy Tulowitzki broke the game open with a three-run double off Kelvin Herrera in the sixth, giving him seven RBIs in the series. Edwin Encarnacion had walked with the bases loaded against Edinson Volquez, who seemed flustered by close calls that didn’t go his

way.

Estrada, a 32-year-old right-hander, enabled his bullpen to rest, a day after Kansas City romped 14-2 in a game that saw infielder Cliff Pennington pitch in the the ninth.

Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar said Estrada did “a tremendous job” against the Royals “He was really good,” Escobar said. “He threw the ball down, down and away, down and in. He didn’t miss many pitches.”

Before 49,325 roaring fans at Rogers Centre, Chris Colabello’s solo homer into the left-field seats in the second gave Estrada a lead.

Estrada didn’t make a miscue until Salvador Perez homered with two outs in the eighth. Estrada retired his first nine batters, ending at four Escobar’s record streak of leading off playoff games with hits.

Volquez, who won Game 1, allowed just two singles after Colabello connected but lost the strike zone in the sixth.

New York Mets sweep Chicago Cubs to reach World Series CHICAGO (AP) — One final, charmed swing by Daniel Murphy, and the New York Mets finished a playoff sweep of the Chicago Cubs.

A new generation of Amazins is heading to the World Series.

Murphy homered for a record sixth consecutive postseason game and the Mets brushed aside the Cubs 8-3 Wednesday night, capping a National League Championship Series in which New York never trailed.

Lucas Duda hit a threerun homer in the first inning and a two-run double in the second, silencing a sellout crowd of 42,227 at Wrigley Field desperately hoping for the beginning of an epic comeback in Game 4.

Not this time. Not with New York’s array of power

arms, and Murphy swinging a hot stick that made him the MVP of the matchup.

Manager Terry Collins’ team advanced to the World Series for the first time since they lost to the crosstown Yankees in five games in 2000. They will face Toronto or Kansas City in Game 1 on Tuesday night — the Royals lead 3-2 in the ALCS. The Cubs, meanwhile, still haven’t won the crown since 1908. Manager Joe Maddon’s wild-card bunch surged into this series, but was overmatched.

When Dexter Fowler looked at a called third strike for the final out, Jeurys Familia dropped to his knees in front of the mound and then hopped up for a hug from catcher Travis d’Arnaud.

They were soon joined by the

Prep previews Continued from Page 1B Colfax-Mingo (6-2, 5-1) at GMG (1-7, 0-6), 7 p.m.

Win or lose, the Tigerhawks will be the No. 2 seed out of Class A District 7 when the playoffs start on Wednesday.

Colfax-Mingo shouldn’t have any issues with a GMG team which has lost six straight games and been shutout five times this season. The Tigerhawks also are 4-0 on the road this year.

The Tigerhawks are seeking their best single season record since the program went 9-1 in 2003, and the secondmost wins since the 1985 Colfax-Mingo merger.

Several players are closing in on individual single-season school records, too.

Jared Myers, who already has the most career passing yards in school history, is 471 passing yards away from the school’s single-season mark of 2,664 yards by Mitch Larson in 2011. Myers, who left left last week’s loss to No. 2 BGM in the third quarter due to injury, is expected to play only offense this week. He set the single-season touchdown mark of 24 earlier this year.

Two of Myers’ favorite targets are closing in on a pair of receiving records.

Jacob Lietz is three receptions away from a school record. Lietz has 50 on the year and Joe Borts set the mark with 52 catches in 2010.

Blake Summy can tie a school record with two touchdown grabs on Friday. He has eight on the season and the school record is 10, set by Jimmy Donahoo back in 2002.

The other school record that could fall Friday is on the defensive side of the ball. Colin Lourens enters the game with five sacks. The school’s best mark was the 6.5 sacks Gary Alexander had back in 2011.

rest of their jubilant teammates in the infield grass at Wrigley Field.

A small, but vocal group of New York fans behind the visiting dugout then chanted “Let’s go, Mets! Let’s go, Mets!”

Right when it looked as if his historic streak was coming to an end, Murphy connected for a two-run drive to center against Fernando Rodney in the eighth inning.

The second baseman raised his right arm as he rounded first after his seventh homer of the playoffs.

Murphy, who was tied with Carlos Beltran for the postseason homer streak, finished with four hits and batted .529 (9 for 17).

Duda doubled twice and d’Arnaud also homered for New York, and Bartolo Colon pitched 1 1/3 scoreless innings for his first playoff win since 2001, for Cleveland at Seattle. The 14 years, 12 days between postseason victories for the 42-year-old right-hander snapped the major league record of exactly 14 years for Milt Wilcox, according to STATS. Colon, who made 31 starts this season, replaced rookie Steven Matz with two out

in the fifth and runners on first and second. He struck out Kris Bryant swinging on a 3-2 pitch, preserving New York’s 6-1 lead.

Bryant hit a two-run homer in the eighth, but it was way too late for Chicago in its first appearance in the NLCS in 12 years. The Cubs shut out Pittsburgh in the wild-card game and eliminated rival St. Louis in the division series, but were unable to mount much of a challenge against the Mets’ talented pitching staff.

The Cubs also loaded the bases with no outs in the fourth, and only came away with one run on Kyle Schwarber’s grounder to first.

Starlin Castro lined right to third baseman David Wright on a hard smash for the first out.

Astrograph The relationship between Mercury and Pluto is downright tense now, suggesting the currents that lie beneath our verbal communication have real power and can be viscerally experienced. The words don’t always match the feelings. When someone says all the right things and you still feel weird about it, listen to that. It’s a cosmic warning.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 22). Your competitive spirit will be activated. Over the next six months, your main concerns get addressed and fixed to some extent so you can move on to new excite-

ment. There’s a luxurious feeling to 2016. February brings a life-changing business arrangement. Love and friendship have you laughing through spring. Gemini and Sagittarius people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 5, 16, 39, 42 and 7.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Does it feel like the only thing holding you back from the one you love is timing? If so, that will improve this afternoon.

Stay in the moment that’s unfolding instead of wishing you were in another one.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The rewards of your latest

effort are trickling in. This is something to celebrate! Do be brief about it, though, because there’s much, much more work to be done to take advantage of this momentum.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Helping people makes you happy, but you don’t live to serve. Get out and get served, if only to remind yourself of this. You’ll have more to give when you feel taken care of, too.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

What you know about one small area of life is the ticket to understanding how many things work. So don’t underestimate your importance to a project or organization and to the world at large.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you had to sit down and figure out how to be you, you couldn’t come up with half of the talents, tendencies and endearing quirks you possess. Just do what’s innate today, and you’ll be brilliant.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Once you give your word, you honor it. Therefore, as a rule, you don’t give your word easily. You’ll be asked (by someone who is pretty charismatic) for a casual agreement. Resist.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You won’t always be guided by a shining beacon. Deciding who you are can be a process of elimination. You know you’re not a person who likes this, that or the other. What’s

next to try out?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Don’t spend your time like the political parties do, each proving the other is unfit to lead.

The real question is: Who can get the job done? Show that it’s you. Get in there and do it.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It would appear that you need more money to accomplish a goal. This is only halftrue. Money will be necessary, yes, but what’s more crucial is a clearer vision. Once you get that, the money comes rolling in.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). A Dutch proverb says, “A handful of patience is worth more than a bushel of brains.”

Stick to the simple plan, and work it until it’s complete.

Success!

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Design, engineering, moving well in your environment -- it all matters to your day’s ambitions in both big and small ways. For instance, comfortable shoes can affect your destiny.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

People say a lot of things.

Sometimes they just can’t live up to their words. If you disregard what a person says and carry on your relationship based strictly on what the person does, you’ll be better off.
