Jeremy Heaberlin continued his platform, if elected, of expanding the number of businesses in Jasper County, keeping costs and taxes low and setting one of the board’s weekly meetings at night and in a different locale around the county each month.

His fellow Republican and incumbent board member, Dennis Carpenter, spoke about how the current board has kept taxes flat for the last four years and about his belief in cutting costs from the county budget and running the county

With two incumbents vying to keep their seat and a new face trying to make waves, the three candidates for the two open seats on the Jasper County Board of Supervisors agreed on many issues, but vastly disagreed on some key local issues.

All three candidates rode with the horse that got them to Thursday’s Jasper County League of Women Voters Candidates forum by expressing the same goals and ideas they’ve pitched since the beginning of

like a business.

Joe Brock — the lone Democrat and the current chairman of the board — was also in favor of running the county in a fiscally conservative manner as the current board has done. Brock would also like to keep the collaboration between county offices and departments intact, and continue his work in developing the county’s role within the Central Iowa Community Services Mental Health Region, which was created after a state mandate in 2013.

Pastor of Women at the Well practices faith behind bars

Mike Mendenhall/Daily News Pastor Lee Schott, of Prairie City, leads service during the Oct. 2 Women at the Well church service at the Iowa Correctional Facility for Women in Mitchellville. The prison-based congregation was started by the United Methodist Church in 2007.

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News MITCHELLVILLE — Beyond the 4.5 meter high chain-link perimeter fencing, and behind the concrete walls of the Iowa Correctional Institution in Mitchellville, Pastor Lee Schott stands enveloped by a group of women wearing navy blue scrubs, their hands outstretched.

The Prairie City native is leading the

“pray out” of inmates who are leaving at the end of the week.

For nearly four years, Schott has been the pastor of Women at the Well — a church congregation inside the state women’s prison. It was founded in 2007, by the United Methodist Church of Iowa. It is one of two United Methodist prison congregations, and — according to church leaders — one of 19 prison congregations in the U.S.

Many faiths and churches have visiting ministries or prison chaplains, but what makes Women of the Well unique is its designation as a sanctioned church within the correction facility.

Pastor Schott did not start her adult life in ministry. Coincidentally, she began her professional career as a lawyer, practicing bankruptcy and FLOCK | 8A

Allan, Critchfield clash in quest for county recorder seat

By Ty Rushing Newton Daily News Marshall Critchfield has been touting himself as the fresh set of eyes needed for the Jasper County Recorder’s Office, and his opponent, current Allan deputy recorder Denise Allan, has been championing her more than 20 years of experience in c o u n t y Critchfield gov e r n ment.

Thursday evening at Newton City Hall, both hopefuls were given a chance to meet face to face and answer voters’ questions at a candidate forum presented by the Jasper County League of Women Voters.

“First of all, I want people to know that with county government, you are working

for the citizens of Jasper County and customer service is the most important thing. You want them to walk away from that office with a smile on their face and a good customer experience,” Allan said.

A number of duties at the recorder’s office require direct interaction with citizens, and Allan expressed she felt maintaining positive interactions with customers was key. She also said one way she would improve the service is by implementing several new measures, including the ability to renew hunting and fishing licenses online and adding debit and credit card machines to the office.

Critchfield agreed that adding those components would be nice, but offered a different means of online renewals. He suggested since the Iowa Department of Natural Resources has an online renewal system in place, if elected, he would arrange it so that citizens could renew with IDNR but be able to pick up their new license at the recorder’s office.

Beggar’s night set for School board to vote on Thursday, safety urged property purchase Monday

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Children will hit the streets for beggar’s night Thursday in Newton, but before

they do, the city police department wants to ensure it’s a safe and successful evening.

Newton Police Chief Jeff Hoebelheinrich said, if possible, costumes should have a reflective quality to keep children visible when it starts to get dark. Also, carrying a flashlight or wearing glow jewelry is a great way to get at-

tention. Keep the costume short enough so the child can walk and will not be tripping or dragging on the ground. When the costume allows, use face paint instead of masks.

“A lot of masks block a lot of the vision, it can be really hard for kids to see when they are crossing the street,” Hoebelheinrich said.

Ty Rushing/Daily News “Homework Central” is a new way for parents at Aurora Heights Elementary School to keep track of their children’s homework assignments. The school’s principal, Carol Farver, back right, and sixth-grade teacher Marlene Huggins, front right, demonstrated how easy it is to use the new page.

Homework Central

Program created to keep Aurora Heights parents updated

By Ty Rushing Newton Daily News For the last several years, Aurora Heights Elementary School has always pushed its students and staff to embrace using more technology in the educational process. Now, the push is being extended to parents.

At the beginning of this school year, the school launched its “Homework Central” portal on its website.

Homework Central gives parents two ways — the other being the traditional student planner — of seeing what particular assignments are due and on which day.Carol Farver, Aurora Heights principal, said there were a few issues they’ve encountered over the years with the planner.

Parents either couldn’t

read their child’s writing in the planner or students sometimes simply forget to write in their homework assignments.

“We were sending emails to some parents to confirm what the work was anyway … So, I just thought, ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to have something on the web on our district’s webpage and on our school’s webpage that would briefly tell everyone what the assignment was for each day and each class?’”

Farver said.

With that idea in mind, Farver said she reached out to Chris Beighler, the district’s technology supervisor, who informed her Berg Middle School had a similar system already in place. Since the system was already available, he said it wouldn’t

be an issue to do it for another school.

“The middle school does do it. Since we are 4-6 (grades) it would be a nice transition (for the parents),” Farver said.

Homework Central was designed to be incredibly user-friendly. First, visit Aurora Height’s webpage, http://www.ne w ton. k12.ia.us/ah_home. aspx. Once the page is up, look for the “Homework Central” tab at the top of the scrollbar on left side of the page.

After that, it’s simply a matter of picking a grade and selecting a Monday. For current assignments, parents should click on the Monday that begins that week, and to check past assignments select an older Monday.

Farver said teachers

try to update the page day-to-day. Another added bonus is this new system helps children who are out sick keep up with their assignments, she said.

This new page is a bit of a change for most Aurora Heights parents, but it seems to be catching on. Sandy Baumgart, a fourthgrade teacher at the school, said the new method was particularly praised by one parent at a recent round of parent-teacher conferences.

“The parent liked it because then, his child couldn’t lie to him about his homework.

There was a place he could go to double-check the facts,” Baumgart said.

Meanwhile, parents should keep other safety at the forefront of their minds as well.

“Kids should basically stay in their own neighborhood, just for the fact that they know who their neighbors are,” Hoebelheinrich said.

Parents or adults should walk with their youngest children or have an older child stay with them. If children are unaccompanied, plan a route for them to take.

When crossing streets, be sure to only do so at the corners and do not hide or cross between parked cars.

Children should also be reminded never enter a stranger’s home or vehicle and should be cautious around any animals. To get from house to house, advise children to use the sidewalk instead of crossing through the yard to avoid tripping hazards, he said. Also, only visit houses that have a porch light on.

Hoebelheinrich asked that those who don’t need to be out avoid any travel during the hours kids will be out. Otherwise, take extra caution and drive slowly through residential areas. Pay extra attention at intersections and near crosswalks and consider turning on the headlights before it gets dark.

Recorder

Allan — who’s worked under outgoing county recorder Nancy Parrott since 2011 — touted her familiarity with various functions of county government as a selling point.

She explained that since 1991, when she began as a part-time county employee, she’s been a constant learner on its functions.

Now, she says she’s ready to take the office to the next level.

“I know in the recorder’s office, I helped lead the way with the new (IDNR) program, which is called Rivers. We’re now working with a new program called, (Iowa’s Vital Event System), through

Continued from Page 1A Another objective of his is to bring more awareness to the position itself.

“One of the most common question I hear — out on the campaign trail — is, ‘what does the county recorder even do?’ That question saddens me, and, if elected, I will change that. I think it starts with the schools. Field trips for the younger kids — and not just a lap through to see the big vault — I’d like to see a demo day with a historian, a title agent, a surveyor or civil engineer,” Critchfield said.

Board

Advisory Committee prompted the board to investigate the possibility of going through another reconfiguration. Results gathered from a teacher survey last school year, and a parent survey conducted at the beginning of this school year, have also been a factor.

In other business: • During his report, Callaghan will discuss the district’s enrollment figures and free and reduced lunch percentages.

• Jim Gilbert, associated director of elementary services, and Scott Bauer, BMS principal, will discuss the School in Need of Assistance plan for that building. BMS made it off the SINA list for math this year, but was SINA-9

Continued from Page 1A Monday’s vote could signal what the district is leaning toward with its future configuration plans. The last time the district underwent a major configuration was the in 2009-2010 school year, when the board at the time elected to close Emerson Hough as an elementary school.

This decision ended the neighborhood schools concept in Newton, and transformed the four remaining elementary school building from K-6 into two K-3 facilities and two 4-6 grade facilities.

Feedback from the School Improvement the (Iowa) Department of Health,” Allan said.

“I’ve been instrumental in that program as well. I have the knowledge and ability. I have the leadership skills and I have led the way — especially with the Beacon program and (Geographic Information System). Plus, I have managed people in the auditor’s office and in the recorder’s office, and I know I can do it.”

Critchfield touted his education, which includes a master’s degree in business management, and his diverse employment background — from his first post-college job as a U.S. Legislative Aide to his

current position as a management analyst for Wells Fargo. He said the roles have adequately prepared him to fill this position.

“Why am I qualified?

For the reasons that I said earlier. My aptitude for history and historical documentation and archiving them — that kind of thing. All the years I worked in real estate development, and, with respect to the work I’ve done at Wells Fargo and the sensitive documentation. And, of course, the customer service (aspect),” Critchfield said.

“I’ve led. I’ve managed as well in all facets of life.

Great minds don’t think alike

By Kate Malott Daily News

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Oct. 24, 2014

I attended the League of Women Voters candidate forum last Thursday at the Newton City Hall where I was pleasantly surprised by what I gained out of the experience.

I didn’t go because I’m an undecided voter — in fact, I’ve already voted — but I went because of the unique opportunity to potentially subject candidates to questions and witness public figures improvisational speaking styles.

Frankly, I anticipated the forum as an athletic event, a competition, and I, a fan, would either be overcome by confidence and pride or naivety and defeat after the outcome of this battle.

The forum was packed, although in a small venue, and everyone was crammed in, sitting close to each other and forcing many strangers to make small talk with people they wouldn’t ordinarily speak to. Finding a seat was like looking for a seat number in the middle of a

bleacher row at an Iowa game.

There were a variety of attendees at the forum from men to women, old to young and business dress to casual. There were an eclectic bunch of people there to learn about the candidates, their stances and the issues themselves. Some people I knew and some I didn’t but I was glad to see the spectrum.

With around nine questions asked at the event, all candidates spoke to each one, some longer than others, some better than others.

Each candidate showed some type of character, and it was refreshing because many of us only know what they look like from marketing material or what they’ve failed at in the past from a television ad.

The lawyer spoke like a lawyer. The incumbents spoke like incumbents. The educated ones gave exact, informative answers to questions they knew and the less aware gave watered down

answers instead. It was interesting to see men’s and women’s debate techniques, although I don’t want to differentiate based on gender.

Regardless, it was a transparent view of the candidates and a look at their personalities. I was reminded they’re all human.

I left with the same affection for the candidates I support and a surprisingly higher acceptance of the others. How could I leave the game tolerant of both teams? That’s no fun.

It’s also not bad.

Lately, politics have been so polarizing. It’s as if we’re to treat parties as if they are Axis and Allies or Iowa and Iowa State. The mentality that we’ve created about choosing sides is restricting, demeaning and jeopardizes our country’s democracy.

No wonder nothing (very little) is getting accomplished. This isn’t the Civil War. While walking home, I was reminded of some graffiti I saw

at a London train station. It said, “Great minds don’t think alike.”

Contrary to popular belief, it’s true. Great conversations require great debate among a bunch of unalike people. Maybe it’s better to be surrounded by open ideas, ones we don’t agree with, than to be constantly surrounded by the same beliefs as our own. There’s nothing to gain from continually reinforcing our same beliefs. It’s not inclusive, interesting or informative, and it’s far from cooperative.

Don’t be afraid to speak to someone about your ideas and more importantly don’t be afraid to listen to someone who comes from a different place than you.

We don’t have to like each other but we have to respect each other — otherwise, like a game, there’s only going to be winners and losers.

Unavoidable Truths

Twerk on, sisters

Letters to the Editor

Kelley record shows ineffective leadership Tom DuVall Newton For four years now, Jasper County has had a largely ineffective state representative.

Looking at the Iowa Legislature’s website you can see that, of the proposed pieces of legislation that Dan Kelley has been lead-sponsor on, virtually every one of them was a “constituency” bill. That is, they were bills that were filed for the sole purpose of being able to tell his constituents that he was working for them on a particular issue. But they were never intended to be considered as serious legislation. You can tell this is the case, because, while a few have a couple other names attached to them, the vast majority of them have only his name on them.

Kelley is committed to Jasper County, Iowa Sandy Opstvedt Story City A vote for Dan Kelley is a vote for Iowa. Rep. Kelley has served not only his district but also his state with notable distinction since he took office. He is hard working, leads with integrity, develops rational strategies and strives to find reasonable consensus among his peers.

He is a strong-willed advocate who makes knowledgeable decisions because he takes the time to ask questions, listen, research and evaluate all sides of a position.

Rep. Kelley has been at the forefront as Jasper County rebounded

This looks good on the surface, but real work in the state legislature includes putting forth the effort to get many other legislators — from both parties — to sign on as co-sponsors. This is necessary work if a bill is to have a chance at becoming law. This is the work that a state legislator is expected to do. Doing this work shows that you’re serious about a particular piece of legislation, and it shows that you’re doing your job. But Dan Kelley has not done any of this work in the four years he has been our state representative. Not even once.

It’s all right there on the website.

The good news is that Jasper County residents are wise to this.

And they are ready for a change.

Even a cursory look at Dan Kelley’s 2014 campaign disclosures shows that he has lost a great deal of support — even from within his own party. The tim-

ing of all this couldn’t be better, because we have the opportunity this year to elect a man who will actually do the work that he is hired to do, and who will actually go to work for the people he represents. That man is Patrick Payton.

Patrick understands that elected officials are the employees and their constituents are the employers. He understands that elected officials are there to serve the people, not to be served by them. Add to this commitment and understanding Patrick’s depth of knowledge and experience in business and education, and we have a golden opportunity this year to elect a statesman instead of a politician.

So please join me in bringing about a positive change for Jasper County. Join me in electing a statesman, a servant, and a leader — Patrick Payton.

from the Maytag closure. While supporting new industry including wind manufacturing, biodiesel production, solar energy and hydroelectric power, he has led the charge to assure adequate legislative language was in place which allowed for such expansion. In doing so, he has reached beyond the state capitol steps encouraging passage of necessary federal legislation. The result has been job creation and a realistic economic boost.

He continues to be a strong advocate for the Iowa Speedway as well as the entire business community. In addition, Rep. Kelley knows that quality education must be a priority. As such, he supports funding levels which allow the educational infrastructure to produce top-notch

opportunities for individuals of all ages.

Whether fighting for families, business, youth, or senior citizens, Rep. Kelley takes positions which embody the most essential details.

He does not back away when addressing issues important to those he represents even when that position may not have majority support.

The fact that Dan Kelley maintains a commitment toward running a positive campaign is refreshing in an environment where negativity is so rampant. That consideration in itself speaks volumes about who he is and how he chooses to govern.

The first time I saw the video of Miley Cyrus twerking with Robin Thicke...

L e t ’s start over.

I can’t b r i n g myself even to go there again.

Doddering old feminist By Connie Shultz that I am, I think a woman should save her groin-grinding for the guy who loves her, and I don’t need to be a witness to the tryst.

Even if I were in my 20s, I wouldn’t be twerking. To me, feminism has always meant that any guy who wanted to be that close to me was going to have to work for it. At the very least, he was not going to be dressed like an umpire and singing about a predatory version of love.

It was this attitude, by the way, that bought me a lot of lonely nights in college and beyond, but I have to tell you, I’ve never regretted that. Party girl that I wasn’t, I did teach human sexuality right out of college through the women’s studies department. I made students craft the reproductive system of the opposite sex.

Wish I’d kept some of those masterpieces of fiction.

Anyway, back to twerking, which legendary singer Annie Lennox recently harpooned in an interview to promote her new album, “Nostalgia.”

In September, Lennox responded to a question about fellow singer Beyonce’s performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, during which Beyonce stood in front of the giant illuminated word “FEMINIST.” “I would call that feminist lite,” Lennox said.

Whoa. Right?

Except here is the rest of her response: “I’m sorry. It’s tokenistic to me. I mean, I think she’s a phenomenal artist — I just love her performances — but I’d like to sit down (with her). I think I’d like to sit down with quite a few artists and talk to them. I’d like to listen to them; I’d like

to hear what they truly think.”

She kept going.

“I see a lot of it as them taking the word hostage and using it to promote themselves, but I don’t think they necessarily represent wholeheartedly the depths of feminism — no, I don’t. I think for many it’s very convenient and it looks great and it looks radical, but I have some issues with it. I have issues with it. Of course I do. I think it’s a cheap shot. I think what they do with it is cheap and ... yeah.

What can I tell you? Sex always (sells). And there’s nothing wrong with sex selling, but it depends on your audience. If they’re 7-year-old kids, I have issues with it.”

A lot more thoughtful, not to mention open to a discussion, which makes for a lousy sound bite.

Headline shorthand: Annie Hates Beyonce.

Earlier this week, Lennox was at it again, if by “it” we mean expressing her opinion about what feminism means to her.

The nerve of this woman to insist on defining who she is.

“Listen,” she told Steve Inskeep. “Twerking is not feminism.”

I should have mentioned this sooner: If you don’t know what twerking is, well, God bless you.

I hope you’re recovering from whatever has kept you in isolation all these months. If you’re curious, skip right past Miley Cyrus and head straight to Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” music video, which has more than 263 million hits on YouTube. You won’t need caffeine for days.

More of Lennox’s interview with Inskeep: “The reason why I’ve commented is because I think that this overt sexuality thrust — literally — at particular audiences, when very often performers have a very, very young audience, like 7 years old, I find it disturbing, and I think its exploitative.

It’s troubling. I’m coming from a perspective of a woman that’s had children. ... It’s not liberating.

It’s not empowering. It’s a sexual thing that you’re doing on a stage. It doesn’t empower you. That’s my feeling about it.”

Pesky peacocks are featured in invitation to dinner party DEAR ABBY: A former colleague recently moved nearby and sent us an invitation to dinner at her new residence. She lives in an area that’s populated by wild peacocks, which she knew before she moved there.

A condition of her invitation is that we (my spouse and I) agree to use a type of high-powered water gun to shoot at the peacocks from her balcony while we are visiting. I understand that these birds can be messy (I assume from their droppings). However, we find conditioning the visit upon our willingness to shoot water at the birds disconcerting.

Because we find this activity distasteful, should we decline and state why, or accept but make clear that we won’t participate in the fowl-watering activity? How does one handle this tactfully? — NO FOWL PLAY IN FLORIDA DEAR NO FOWL PLAY: Because your former colleague invited you with the expressed understanding her guests will be expected to “fowl-water,” which would make you uncomfortable, politely decline the invitation. If you feel you must pass judgment on shooting at the peacocks, all you need to say is you prefer not to shoot at any creature that can’t defend itself.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married for 30 years and have no children.

Now in my mid-50s, I realize what a negative force my husband has been in my life.

I was not allowed to have children, and over the years I have lost all family and most friends because he didn’t like anyone. He constantly badmouths the town we live in — it’s my hometown — and any interests I have. He hasn’t worked in 10 years since closing his business.

I wake up every morning with the thought of just trying to make it

through one more day. I am a shell of the person I once was, and don’t know where to turn. Please help. — NAMELESS IN THE USA DEAR NAMELESS: Get out of the house and out of isolation. Volunteering in your community will give you an escape from your husband’s negativity and an opportunity to meet others who are involved in positive activities. He won’t like it, but do it anyway. If you do, it will save your sanity.

DEAR ABBY: At a wedding reception I attended recently, the mother of the bride gave a sales pitch for her insurance company. She concluded with the statement that she would now be able to write this off on her taxes.

Was this legitimate? She had numerous clients there, as well as prospective ones, and gifts with corporate logos for them stashed in the bathroom. — TAKEN ABACK IN CALIFORNIA DEAR TAKEN ABACK: Talk about a “marriage of convenience.”

How unbelievably tacky! Actually, my tax experts tell me that she’s not entitled to write the reception off because the PREDOMINANT MOTIVE of the occasion was not business. Let’s hope the IRS doesn’t get wind of it.

Iowan cleared of theft charge files libel suit

1

MASON CITY— A northern Iowa woman whose theft case was dismissed has filed a lawsuit against her former employer, alleging libel and slander.

Tracy Hassman, 44, filed the lawsuit on Monday against Prairie Ridge Addiction Treatment Services of Mason City and its executive director. Hassman, of Nora Springs, was charged in March 2013 with stealing more than $10,000 from the agency while working there. The charge was dismissed this past March at the request of Prairie Ridge.

Dubuque school officials investigate speeding van DUBUQUE — Dubuque school officials are investigating an apparently speeding district van caught by another motorist on video. The incident happened Tuesday when Jay Shipley, of Solon, noticed a van traveling more than 80 mph on Interstate 280 near North Liberty.

Shipley said he could see children inside and became concerned, so he called the Iowa State Patrol and then sped up to get video of the van. He later posted the video on his Facebook account.

Local & State News Flock

Continued from Page 1A corporate law. Then around the age of 40, Schott said she found herself on a different trajectory with faith. She attended seminary, and in 2003, left her first practice.

She and her husband Dan began serving a Methodist church in Polk City.

“I never in a million years thought I would be serving in a prison,” she said, “When I was in seminary one semester they hired someone to teach prison ministry. I thought, ‘Oh, that’s nice.’”

Her road to WAW began with a series of conversations with church leaders. The church’s first pastor invited Schott to be part of the WAW leadership group. The prison pastor asked Schott if she could see herself serving the correctional congregation. At that time, she had been serving in Polk City for several years and said she could feel herself being called elsewhere. But her initial reaction was “no.”

Supervisors Continued from Page 1A While the candidates expressed similar thoughts on a number of issues — and even complimented each other on the work the current board has done — one local issue that caused a divide was the prospect of future veteran memorials on the Jasper County Courthouse lawn.

“I’m personally in favor of extra bricks, because I missed getting my father on there,” Heaberlin said.

“As far as additional memorials, if they’re done tastefully and are wellfunded, I’m all for it.”

Both incumbents,

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday, Oct. 24, 2014

“I knew God was calling me to it, but I didn’t know I was going to love it until I got started,” she said.

Schott took the position in 2011, and after her parents both died in 2012, returned to her childhood farmhouse outside Prairie City to be closer to WAW. When Schott received her placement, the pastor worried that she would find it difficult to show sympathy to the congregation because of their criminal background and arguably questionable life choices. But Schott immediately opened a dialogue and found a difficult truth. Most of the WAW members are victims of circumstance.

“Somebody said once, women in prison are victims before they are perpetrators,” Schott said.

“Which I think is pretty much true. And that has been born out of the conversations I’ve had with them. When they come in to tell their stories, they’ve been through things I can’t even imagine living through.”

Schott said that 90 percent of the women housed in the Mitchellville prison facility are victims of abuse.

As she discussed the lives of her congregation at the farmhouse in which her grandmother was raised, Schott said the familial instability that many offenders she serves have experienced becomes apparent.

“It’s not ‘how could you do this terrible thing you did,’ it’s ‘I don’t know how you’re still standing,’” she said.

Although she’s gained more of an understanding of those within her ministry, Schott did experience apprehension going into WAW, concerned the congregation would not take her seriously. The pastor admittedly had little “street cred,” she said and was worried about communicating to the group.

“God is really good at bridging that gap,” she said. “And what I get to do is love them and help them hear that God loves them. That’s a surprise to a lot of people.”

Schott said this is vis-

ible in the story of “K.” The pastor uses initials when referring to her congregation members in the Women at the Well UMC Facebook page promoting the church’s efforts. K came to Mitchellville within the last two years from a very abusive relationship. Schott described the inmates a simple person and quiet.

Although WAW has helped K with a transformation, Schott said being in an environment away from the violence has been just as influential.

“We’re part of her story,” Schott said. “I’ve just seen her unfurl.

She’s part of our leadership group. She’s part of choir. Over the last couple of months, she’s

Brock and Carpenter, weren’t as receptive.

“I think the problem that we are going to run into on the courthouse lawn is that there’s (only) just so much space available. I don’t know if we have the room. I’d have to see what the idea is and I haven’t seen anything on the expansion of it,” Brock said.

The courthouse currently has veterans memorials on the south and east sides of the courthouse.

“I think we’ve represented and honored the veterans quite well with what they’ve put up there.

I’m not in favor of putting anymore stuff up there,” said Carpenter, who served in the National

Guard for six years.

Another issue that caused a divide in responses was bike trails, in particular the Chichaqua Valley Trail, which is in need of more than $300,000 in repairs. The county originally made an agreement with the state in 1984 to maintain the trail, which begins in Baxter and extends into Polk County, and has been operational since 1996.

Carpenter said he would honor the commitment and cited the work Keri Van Zante, Jasper County Conservation director, has done in finding grants for various needs.

“I’m in agreement with Denny, and I think that commitment should be

honored,” Heaberlin said.

Brock said he thinks that it would be great to better maintain the county’s bike trails, and pointed out the recent plans to expand some of the trails.

His concern, however, was with the cost.

“With a lot of it, it takes a lot of money. I know that trail up there is upwards of $300,000 to hard surface it. So it does turn into a matter of dollars, (on) whether we can do that or keep a gravel surface, it’s important,” Brock said.

All three candidates agreed the former Jasper County Care Facility southeast of Newton needs to be demolished.

Carpenter and Brock

would be interested in seeing it become a green space under the conservation office’s care, and Heaberlin expressed a desire to see it return to the county’s tax roll.

One issue that has sparked conversation at Newton City Council is the proposed franchise fee for electric and natural gas utilities. The monies collected would be used to support infrastructure improvements in the Newton.

All three candidates disagreed with the proposal, and Carpenter and Brock said the city’s plan could cost the county between $90,000 and $100,000 annually. “ … You got about four

started singing solos. If you would have asked me when she first arrived if I though she would be singing solos, I would have said ‘no way.’”

The church is booked for worship visits months in advance of the service.

Volunteers in the faith community are encouraged to attend. Services are held Thursday nights, so Schott is able to travel and speak to other transitional congregations throughout Iowa on Sundays about WAW. But within the prison walls, Schott said she gets to share compassion with people who have never before heard the words “God loves you.”

“That’s really important because a lot of these women don’t have visits. The idea that these strangers would come and worship with them and visit with them is really meaningful and it’s a connection to the wider community,” Schott said.

things you can do — cut services, lay people off, go through your (department) budgets and possibly reduce by $91,000 but it’s going to put a hardship on us,” Carpenter said.

Carpenter added that it’s fortunate the current board recently implemented a geothermal system at the courthouse, which has produced a reduced cost in expenditures.

Brock chimed in saying he’s not judging the city for considering going down that path, however, he said he hopes it doesn’t cost the county $100,000.

Iowa universities want more study on job changes

By Ryan J. Foley The Associated Press

Abigail Pelzer/Daily News More than 30 area vendors drew a large crowd Thursday night for the annual Ladies Night Out event sponsored by the Newton Daily News and Woodstyles. Held at DMACC, visitors enjoyed a night of shopping and sampling. Newton Daily News Advertising Director Jeff Holschuh said he was pleased with the turnout. “We had more than 150 people attend the event and heard great feedback from all the vendors,” he said. “A special thanks to Woodstyles LLC for co-sponsoring the event and help making it a tremendous success.

IOWA CITY — The presidents of Iowa’s three public universities called Thursday for more analysis before moving forward with a consultant’s plans to restructure many of the system’s administrative jobs.

The leaders told the Iowa Board of Regents during a meeting in Iowa City that they saw the potential for savings in some of the recommendations released this month

by Deloitte Consulting LLP. But they said they also needed more specifics on some of them before determining whether they make sense and are realistic.

Deloitte recommended that the universities restructure their human resources, information technology and finance staffs, saying many of those functions could be performed more efficiently at a college- or university-wide level rather than in individual departments.

Some of the changes would require technology upgrades and other upfront costs, and changes in processes.

The company’s report indicated the schools cut could up to 250 jobs through attrition and retirements in coming years by changing the way work is performed, while saving tens of millions of dollars.

Deloitte also recommended cutting the number of desktop computers and printers in favor of cheaper virtual desktops and network printers.

The board hired Deloitte in February to identify areas for potential savings and develop business cases on whether to pursue them. The company has been awarded a

contract worth $3.3 million.

The plans were met with concern and criticism during town hall meetings this month on the campuses of the University of Iowa, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa. The regents are expected to vote on whether to move forward next month.

Acting UNI President Michael Licari noted that many employees raised concerns about how Deloitte’s savings were calculated and whether they were overstated.

At the same time, he said, the proposals come at a good time for UNI because a large percentage of its clerical staff is retirement-eligible. The university is already planning for what is expected to be a large turnover in its staff, he said.

ISU President Steven Leath said the school would “dive in and implement” as many of the recommendations as possible. He said the school was already expanding the number of its virtual desktops — called thin client machines — from 1,000 to 2,500 to save money.

But he said the changes suggested to the university’s human resources and finance operations need additional evaluation to determine whether they are “achievable and worthwhile.”

UI President Sally Mason said the university could implement many of the recommendation on its own, but may need help from consultants in some areas. She said her staff would also begin “the additional analysis” needed to develop the specifics.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Leaders of the pack — Newton High’s Grace Coen runs in a leader pack of four at Thursday’s Class 4A state quailifying cross country meet at Marshalltown including Rachel Brush of Waukee, Sierra Mitchell of Southeast Polk (not shown) and Marshalltown’s Rachel Blagg. Coen finished fourth to qualify for her third consecutive state cross country meet.

Coen claims third straight state meet berth

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

MARSHALLTOWN — Grace Coen was happy, but disappointed following Thursday’s Class 4A state qualifying cross country meet. The Newton High junior qualified for her third consecutive 4A state cross country meet.

“I’m happy to be going to state,” Coen said after finishing fourth in the girls’ 4K race. “I was a little disappointed in my race. I strayed from my original plan (on running the race), which I tend to do. I probably should have stuck with it.”

Coen, who was ranked 14th in Class 4A going into the race, ran in the lead pack of runners throughout the course at Marshalltown Community College. She posted a time of 15

minutes, 17 seconds.

“I have trouble going slow on hills.

I sprint up them, then when I get to the top I realize that was a bad idea.

I should have run the final two hills differently,” Coen said. “I didn’t have the energy at the end for a strong kick to the finish.”

Coen is the lone state qualifier from Newton. Senior Justin Thomas came up one place shy of going to his first state meet. The top 10 individuals and the top three teams in each regional meet qualify for state.

“I was close. I finished 11th,” Thomas said. “Today, I realized this was it for me. I compete in cross country because I want to and it is fun. I love running. I really wanted this. Since it is my senior year, I figured to go for it and not holding anything back.”

Thomas attacked the 5K course on the MCC campus and ran a personalbest time of 16:30. He stayed up front with six of the top 15 ranked 4A runners. How close was he to qualifying?

One second. Tyler Combs of Indianola took 10th in 16:29.

“I had an on-and-off year. I started off well after all the work I did over the summer, then I allow anxiety to get the best of me sometimes. I would have a good race, then a not-so-good race,” Thomas said. “Today, I’m tired, but I felt great running and I felt like me out there.”

Coen led the Cardinal girls to a sixth-place finish as a team. The Newton girls scored 186 points. Waukee took the regional title with 38 points followed by Linn-Mar with 68 and Southeast Polk with 89 points.

Tigerhawk girls qualify for state Six individual area runners headed to state cross country

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Runners from four area high schools qualified for their respective state cross country races in Thursday’s Class 2A and Class 1A state qualifying meets.

Colfax-Mingo’s girls broke a 21-year drought. The Tigerhawk girls qualified for the

Class 1A state cross country meet as a team for the first time since 1993, when the Colfax-Mingo girls won their second consecutive state title.

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter is sending two boys to the Class 2A state meet. Prairie CityMonroe qualified one boy and one girl for the 2A state competition while LynnvilleSully has one boy qualified for the Class 1A state race.

The Iowa High School State Cross Country Championships are Nov. 1 at Lake-

side Municipal Golf Course in Fort Dodge.

At Ottumwa’s Wildwood Park Thursday, the Tigerhawk girls claimed third place with 114 points. Pekin, who hosted the 1A meet, won it with 40 points and West Marshall was second with 57 points. Lynnville-Sully’s girls ended up fourth with 180 points.

Dakota Hostetter, a sophomore, led the Tigerhawk girls, finished third in the 4K race CROSS COUNTRY | 8B

Colfax-Mingo photo Cofax-Mingo’s girls qualified as a team for the Iowa Class 1A state cross country meet, taking third at Thursday’s state qualifying meet in Ottumwa. Members of the team are (left to right) Bailey Pease, Sara Lahart, Iva Moore, McKinzie Tjaden, Dakota Hostetter, Kennedi Hostetter and Cassie Craig.

Thomas paced the Cardinal boys to seventh place in their division, scoring 215 points. Linn-Mar was the boys’ regional champion with 29 points followed by Cedar Rapids Prairie with 50 points and Waukee with 72 points.

“I thought our girls did real well today. We came in looking to get sixth and that’s where we finished,” said Rachelle Tipton, NHS girls’ head coach. “Grace was looking to win, but came up short of that. Looking at the big picture, she’s in (the state meet) and we’ll see what she can do next week.”

Coen said her plan for the Class 4A state race on Nov. 1 in Fort Dodge, is to run well enough to earn all-state honors.

Delete all the Class 3A playoff scenarios I laid out in my Pregame Outlook story Thursday for Newton High f o o t b a l l . By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News They were flawed.

With the ties possible in Newton’s district after Friday’s games and what that means for the Cardinals’ playoff hopes, those scenarios and how playoff spots are determined by other than a team’s record and head-tohead competition will make your head spin.

It did mine. I obviously did not have a firm grasp of the playoff situation as I thought I did, as pointed out to me by a Daily News reader. I shouldn’t have tried to put all those scenarios out on the table.

Sorry for the confusion.

I do know that Ballard and Bondurant-Farrar are in the 3A playoffs from District 6. Newton, Gilbert and Grinnell are battling for the final two spots.

But Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said it best, “Beat Nevada.” The Cardinals travel to Nevada Friday to take on the Cubs. Cardinals just go take care of business and see how the rest shakes out.

One area high school football team doesn’t have to worry about all that.

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter has clinched its Class 2A district title. The Raiders know they will host a first-round playoff game Wednesday.

Just win harriers.

I can’t do a column about winning without a shout out to the guys in Blue from Kansas City.

The fans of the Kansas City Royals went from a low feeling after losing the first game of the 2014 World Series to that great high from the Game 2 victory at Kauffman Stadium Wednesday night.

The Royals just won.

Now, it’s on to San Francisco for the next three games against the Giants.

Just win Royals.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Eric Hosmer loaded up, launched a long fly and watched it sail toward McCovey Cove. Way out there in right field, near the 421-foot mark, the ball bonked off the brick wall.

No splash shot.

“We were definitely trying to hit ‘em,” the Kansas City first baseman said. “We took turns trying, but no one did.”

Even so, Hosmer liked what he saw during a workout Thursday as many Royals got their first look at San Francisco’s waterfront ballpark.

Starting in Game 3 of the WorldSeries on Friday against the Giants, they might also discover what makes AT&T Park so unique.

“It’s a little quirky out there,” San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said.

Just wait until someone trips over a bullpen mound chasing a foul ball. Or somebody loses a fly in the mist that wafts above shallow center. Or those swirling winds turn a routine popup into an all-out scramble.

Who knows? Might even get a crazy carom off that odd-shaped brick facade on the right-field wall, resulting in the first Series inside-thepark home run since 1929.

“With that brick wall and

Guthrie

Hudson

that chain-link fence, the ball go could go anywhere,” Royals outfielder Lorenzo Cain said.

Tim Hudson starts for San Francisco against Jeremy Guthrie as the Royals play their first game in San Francisco since 2005, when they took two of three. Buddy Bell was their manager back then, Tony Graffanino batted third and Jeremy Affeldt was in the bullpen.

The 35-year-old Affeldt now pitches for the Giants and came on in relief Wednesday night in a 7-2 loss. He said he figured the Royals could handle the new park.

“That’s an athletic team over there. So I think they can make adjustments. I don’t think we’ll go in thinking that

they’re at a disadvantage because of not being at our ballpark,” he said.

Seven players on the Royals’ 25-man roster have played at AT&T Park with other teams.

Of the most frequent visitors, Josh Willingham has hit .352 with five homers in 16 games and Omar Infante has batted .307 in 19 games, STATS said.

Among the pitchers, Guthrie did fine in two starts and Jason Frasor made two relief appearances.

Cain played one game at the stadium in 2010 when he was with Milwaukee. The AL Championship Series MVP practiced with coach Rusty Kuntz to gauge the bounces.

“You have no idea of where it’s going,” Cain said.

Good luck, Giants designated hitter Michael Morse said.

“It’s a big park; right field is tricky. The wind does a lot of different things in the outfield, so our guys are used to it,” he said. “It’s tough. It’s tough out there. But everybody’s a professional. I don’t think it will be a factor.”

One thing will change, for sure. With no designated hitter in the NL park, Morse and Kansas City’s Billy Butler will lose their spots — Morse drove in a run during a 7-1

win in the opener, while Butler already has three hits and a pair of RBIs. With tight foul ground, gusts that whip off the bay, twilight starts and pesky seagulls that hover around in the late innings, a lot of balls become adventures in San Francisco.

In 2007, Ichiro Suzuki hit the first inside-the-park home run in an All-Star game when his shot off the right-field wall took a weird ricochet.

There have been nine inside-the-parkers in WorldSeries play. Lou Gehrig and Casey Stengel are on the list, and Mule Haas of the Philadelphia Athletics hit the last one.

Plus, postseason is frequently a weather adventure in the Bay Area. Players need to pack for all sorts of conditions — short sleeves, hoodies, hats and gloves.

During the NLCS, Bochy said the teams played in the toughest winds of the season.

Right fielder Hunter Pence had no chance trying to track a fly ball by St. Louis’ Kolten Wong that landed for a triple.

“You play this game, you play in a lot of different ballparks and you find a way to adjust,” Pence said this week.

“I think everyone’s going to enjoy it.”

Manning, Sanders lead Broncos past Chargers DENVER (AP) — Emmanuel Sanders waited six long weeks to join the list of players who have caught a touchdown pass from Peyton Manning. Now, he has four in less than a week.

Manning and Sanders connected for a trio of touchdowns Thursday night in the Denver Broncos’ 35-21 victory over the San Diego Chargers.

With the Chargers’ banged-up secondary double-teaming red-hot receiver Demaryius Thomas, Sanders caught TD throws of 2, 31 and 3 yards. The last one followed Chris Harris Jr.’s interception of a flustered Philip Rivers.

Rookie running back Juwan Thompson added two TD runs as the Broncos (6-1) tightened their grip on the AFC West over the Chargers (5-3), who lost their second straight game.

Manning finished 25 of 35 for 286 yards. Sanders caught nine passes for 120 yards, and Ronnie Hillman added 109 yards on 20 carries.

One of GM John Elway’s prized free agent acquisitions last offseason, Sanders called this “wide receivers’ heaven” when he joined the Broncos in the spring. He spent his first five games in a Broncos uniform piling up the yards — 473 of them — but wistfully wishing to become the 45th player to catch a touchdown pass from Manning.

He finally did it by hauling in the first of Manning’s four TD throws Sunday night when the five-time MVP broke Brett Favre’s career touchdown throw total (510 to 508).

Each time Thompson scored, Rivers and the Chargers responded with 80-yard drives that ended with touchdown catches by tight end Antonio Gates.

His two scores gave him an NFL-best nine, tied with Denver’s star tight end, Julius Thomas, who was held out of the end zone for the second straight game.

Manning

Gates’ first score was a 4-yard grab on fourth down, his second a 10-yard catch with 9 1/2 minutes left that made it 3521.

River finished 30 of 41 for 252 yards with three TDs and two interceptions.

Brandon McManus missed a 53-yard field goal with six minutes remaining, giving the Chargers great field position, but safety Rahim Moore intercepted Rivers’ pass to Malcolm Floyd at the Denver 4 and the Broncos grounded it out from there.

Sanders sliced across the back of the end zone to haul in his first TD from 2 yards out. His second score was a 31yard beauty in which he roared past cornerback Richard Marshall and hauled in Manning’s pass as he sprinted across the goal line to make it 14-7 with 32 seconds left to in the first half.

Denver’s second scoring drive came after officials reversed a Bubba Caldwell fumble on the kickoff following Rivers’ 2-yard TD strike to Keenan Allen, a score that followed Gates’ 31-yard catch on third-and-20 from the Denver 33.

Neither team started fast offensively with Denver needing three drives to score and San Diego four. But the Broncos’

plan to better control the clock worked.

The Broncos were held under 65 snaps just twice last season — both times by San Diego.

The Chargers controlled the clock for more than 38 minutes in both games, including a 27-20 stunner at Denver on a Thursday night in December. That was Manning’s only divisional loss since heading West in 2012 and the Broncos’ only loss at home.

This time, Denver had the ball longer than the Chargers.

Manning was coming off an emotional four-TD performance Sunday night against San Francisco in which he surpassed Favre as the NFL’s touchdown pass king. Manning broke another of Favre’s records on this night, albeit a much more obscure one: he now has 16 seasons with 20 or more touchdown passes, one more than Favre.

Manning is approaching another of Favre’s records, too. With his 157th career multiple TD game, Manning is two shy of Favre’s mark in that category.

This marked just the eighth time in league history that a quarterback started a season with seven straight games with multiple touchdowns — and Manning’s done it three of those times.

After losing at home to the Chargers on a Thursday night in December — Denver’s only home loss last season — the Broncos changed their work week.

They practiced without pads and helmets.

But their first two drives led to punts as defensive coordinator John Pagano again found ways to thwart Manning even with a banged-up secondary that was missing cornerbacks Brandon Flowers (concussion) and Steve Williams (groin). The Chargers also were missing linebacker Manti Te’o (foot).

Then, Sanders starting finding the end zone.

Chiefs’ Charles passes battery of concussion tests KANSASCITY, Mo. (AP) — Jamaal Charles has passed a battery of tests and does not show symptoms of a concussion, the Chiefs said Wednesday — one day after the star running back told a radio show he saw “light bulbs” after a hit in KansasCity’s win over San Diego.

Charles took a vicious blow from Brandon Flowers when he dove into the end zone in the Chiefs’ 23-20 victory Sunday.

Flowers received a concussion from the collision and missed the rest of the game, but Charles popped up and trotted off the field, where he was met by team trainers.

He played the rest of the game.

But Tuesday, he told ESPN Radio that he saw “light bulbs around my eyes” a few plays later, and that he avoided going through the NFL’s concussion protocol.

“It wasn’t a concussion. If it was a concussion, I wouldn’t remember the plays or remember none of my teammates’ names or remember what sideline to go to,” Charles said during the interview. “I definitely remember everything. It was just a huge hit.”

The Chiefs did not make Charles avail-

Charles

able to reporters Wednesday, and Chiefs coach Andy Reid refused to address the situation, though he did say he believes most players will tell the training staff if they suspect they have a concussion.

“These guys are pretty honest guys,” Reid said. The team also said they would monitor Charles for a couple of days.

“We’re not classifying him having a concussion, but as with all of our players we’ll monitor him as it goes,” head trainer Rick Burkholder said.

In the past few years, concussions have

become a major story line in the NFL. Numerous former players have filed lawsuits alleging the league failed to properly handle head injuries, and traumatic brain injuries have been linked to the suicides of several players. Among them is Jovan Belcher, a former teammate of Charles who killed his girlfriend and himself two years ago.

After the Chiefs learned of the radio interview, they called Charles into the team facility Tuesday night and began testing him, Burkholder said. The Chiefs also consulted with neurological experts at the University of Pittsburgh and had the team doctors examine Charles.

Burkholder said the three-time Pro Bowler passed all of the tests.

“When he got hit, I obviously checked with him,” he said. “I know coach talked to him a bit there. I came back and consulted with the team physician; he was absolutely asymptomatic, wasn’t complaining about anything. ... obviously, we check on those guys as they come off the field almost every series. I know coach spent time with him on the plane after the game.”

There’s some corner of your mind that won’t accept that you can’t control things that you, in fact, have absolutely no control over. Thinking you can will it not to rain doesn’t give you weather-power. However, you can bet that the universe is listening to all intentions, and under the new spooky Scorpio regime, it just may work out for you.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 24). It’s a mindover-matter situation at the start of the year, and your mind is mighty, indeed! Fix your attention on the way you want your life to run. Anything that’s not matching up to your ideal will change in time. Friends will brag about you in January and hook you up with personal and professional opportunities.

Sagittarius and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 35, 44, 25 and 6.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). You think you want something, but you won’t really know until you get it. Work toward

it anyway. Even if you’re unsatisfied with the reward, you’ll be stronger for the effort.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can.

Don’t underestimate your inner qualities. You really can. Do something spontaneous. It will reinforce your ability to connect your inner drive to the moment.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There are times when defining a goal is equal to setting a limitation.

It’s probably starting to dawn on you that you don’t really know what you can do. Do your best, and you’ll blow the rest out of the water.

Dollars, weight and achievement statistics aren’t enough to keep you motivated these days. It’s about creating habits and systems you can stick to.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your confidence will attract money. It might come in the form of income, a stellar deal or found dollars. This is no accident. It’s coming to you for a reason.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It seems that the main thing you want is being denied you time and again. It’s becoming plain: You need a better system for fitting what’s important to you into each and every day.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Today’s state doesn’t dictate tomorrow’s. Just know that this is a weird transitional time and not at all indicative of your entire future. That may help you better treasure the experience.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Anyone telling you what you must do is wrong. Maybe it’s time to throw the self-help book out the window.

Trying to do a little better each day is not only enough; it’s the golden ticket.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s not about hitting a certain number.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your pride often gets in the way of your

asking for help. Don’t let it. Your willingness to be vulnerable will have a rippling effect, leading to a healing for many others.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

No comparing! The very act of comparing the situation you’re in to another situation hinders your ability to be fully present, thus hampering your joy and, by extension, your charisma.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Talking with someone can make a huge difference in your mood, providing it’s the right person. Who brightens you? Who makes you feel stronger than you did before you connected?

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). If it takes you three minutes today, it will take you two minutes tomorrow — and the next day, five. But then on Monday, one. Progress won’t be steady, but it will be certain.

Newton Continued from Page 1B “That’s tough to do because everyone is going for the same there and we’ve all been training all season for that opportunity at state,” Coen said. “But, it is a good goal to have.”

Seniors Hailey Coy, Anna Barr and Autumn Hunt concluded their Newton High careers at Thursday’s regional meet. Coy was the No. 2 runner for the Cardinal girls, placing 15th in 16:14. Hunt was 52nd in 18:12 and Barr came in 61st at 19:10.

“This was my best season ever,” Coy said. “I was happy with how I ran today. Overall, I accomplished my goal at (Little Hawkeye) conference, which was to run well enough to place high and earn all-conference honors. We were rally close as a team this year and it was a great season.”

“I enjoyed my senior year,” Barr said. “It was a fun season and the team has been amazing.”

“This season went really well. It was a lot better than all my other seasons,” Hunt said.

“I’m really sad to to be leaving these girls. I’m excited we did so well, but sad the season is

over. I am coming back to be the assistant coach for the next two years.”

Sophomore Ellie Horn ran No. 4 for the Newton girls, taking 56th in 18:18. Freshman Tessa Keeton was 59th in 18:35 and sophomore Michaella Cope placed 60th in 19:00.

“I set 15th as the goal for Hailey and she did that, finishing a very good senior season,” Tipton said. “The rest of the team competed where they needed to today.”

Newton’s boys have been fueled all season

by Thomas and some ever-improving freshmen. Four freshmen followed Thomas across the regional finish line Thursday to score for the Cardinals.

Mikey Bradley placed 40th in 18:14 followed

by Jack Callaghan in 50th at 18:44, Tyler Dafflitto in 56th at 19:20 and Dylan Main in 58th in 19:27. Junior Zach Theis was 60th in 19:32.

“It’s been a fun crew to work with and we’re so young,” said Tom Bartello, Newton boys’ head coach. “We’ve had four freshmen scoring in the top five for us in the varsity race, which is not typical for a 4A team.

We’ve had some learning curves this year.”

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Jacob Thomas ( in red) charges forward on the final sprint to the finish line at Thursday’s Class 4A state quailifying cross country meet at Marshalltown. Thomas finished one second out of an individual qualifying spot for the state meet.

Bartello said the Newton boys have worked through a season of injuries and illness. He said one of the Newton boys did not finish the regional race because of shin splints and a varsity runner called in ill Thursday morning.

“We talked strategy with Jacob before the race. He came so close today. He was doing everything right during the race. It came down to the final sprint and that’s a tough one against a lot of tough kids. Overall, we had a

Cross country Continued from Page 1B with a time of 15 minutes, 38 seconds. Senior Kennedi Hostetter was 11th in 16:35 and senior Iva Moore took 22nd in 17:29. McKinzie Tjaden, a junior, ran 26th in 17:44 and senior Bailey Pease was 52nd in 19:28.

Seniors Sara Lahart and Cassie Craig ran 68th and 69th, respectively, in 20:32 and 20:33. Colfax-Mingo head coach Zach Tomas said every girls ran a season-best time at the meet.

“The girls just had something a little extra tonight,” Tomas said.

“This meet was another huge step forward for the Colfax-Mingo cross country program. Both the girls and boys teams realized many of the goals we set to start the season.”

Tomas said even though the Tigerhawk boys did not have any

state qualifiers, six of the seven boys had careerbest times in Thursday’s race and the other runner had a season-best time. Colfax-Mingo’s boys placed 11th as a team.

“The boys improved so much over the final two weeks of the season after struggling early on. I really think this speaks volumes to these kids, because they did not have the success they wanted early on but continued to battle and finished with an outstanding team place and individual times,” Tomas said.

Cameron Warner paced the Tigerhawk boys with a 17th-place finish in 16:52 followed

by Alex Lewis in 70th in 18:53, Will Dunsbergen in 74th at 19:02, Jonathan Jacobs in 91st in 20:25 and K.C. Huffman in 92nd in 20:44.

“Canyon got into a good position early on in the race and was racing to be in the top 10 the whole way. With a half mile to go, he was just outside the top 10 but made a hard charge down the stretch, then had a good kick to hold that position and finish in 10th,” said Darin Arkema, Lynnville-Sully head coach. “Through all the running during the summer and all season, his goal was to again make it to state and he worked hard to again earn that honor.”

The Hawk girls came up short of that goal.

“Our girls battled strong and had solid races. Even though we didn’t earn a state berth I am very proud of each of their efforts in finishing fourth out of 12 full teams,” Arkema said. “Cori had a fantastic final race of her high school career. It was great to see her have probably her best race of the year tonight. Madison also saw her high school career come to an end tonight, and went out with a good effort.”
