Newton, Iowa.

In the inaugural Newton vs. Newton challenge, Newton, Iowa was victorious in the two week challenge over Newton, Kan. “Although it is awesome that Newton, Iowa won the Newton vs. Newton challenge, both communities came out winners with a great community turnout and community pride shown throughout the competition,” said Natalie Umstead, City of Newton Management Analyst.

Newton, Iowa won three of the five challenges with the “most giving Newton” results not yet available. For the “most popular” Newton, Iowa gained 601 new likes on Facebook while Kansas added 448. Iowa was also victorious in the cutest pet con-

test. It had 289 photos submitted to Kansas’ 167 during the challenge.

Kansas took the prize for the Newton with the most school pride, showcasing 284 people wearing the “Black and Gold” for Railer Pride. 167 Iowans proudly displayed their “Red Pride.” Iowa was back on top for the fittest Newton with 112 people participating in the one mile community walk to 80 people in Kansas.

Approximately 100 Windstream Internet customers will be without service in the Newton, Grinnell, Toledo and Le Grand area next month.

Windstream discontinued selling the Fixed Wireless High Speed Internet Service in 2011, but maintained the service for existing customers. Recently, equipment that is used for the service has been discontinued and Windstream made the decision to no longer offer the service.

“It’s just disappointing that they gave us four weeks to figure it out with

no options from them,” Jeanne Deutsch, Windstream customer said.

Deutsch has had Internet through Windstream for more 15 years in her rural Jasper County home, dating back to when the company was Iowa Telecom and before. A letter dated Oct. 6 arrived informing her the high speed Internet would be discontinued in a month with no options or other routes to pursue.

“My option with them apparently would be dialup,” Deutsch said. “How long ago was dial-up?”

In Brief Ag outlook, management seminar Nov. 14

Farm Bureau, JCARL partner for good cause Ty Rushing/Daily News Jasper County Farm Bureau, 425 First Avenue E., is hosting an animal adoption event from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday on behalf of the Jasper County Animal Rescue League. Cats will be $10 and dogs will be $50. Farm Bureau is also accepting donations of animal and cleaning supplies on behalf of JCARL.

By Ty Rushing Newton Daily News With October being National Adopt a Shelter Dog Month, the Jasper County Farm Bureau Agency wanted to find a way to get involved in the cause and support a local entity.

Kristie Chipera, JCFB’s spokesperson, came up with a solution. From 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, the office, 425 First Ave. E. will host an adoption event featuring animals from the Jasper County Animal Rescue League.

“I’ve personally wanted to do more with the JCARL. I grew up on a farm and have always had a soft spot for all animals, because I was constantly surrounded by them. All animal rescue leagues and humane societies do great things, helping animals who, through no fault of their own, have found themselves without a loving home,” Chipera said.

“The JCARL is a great local organization that relies on the support of the community. They deserve more support and that’s why we’ve partnered with them.”

Cats can be adopted for $10

at the event, and dogs for $50.

If adoption isn’t a possibility at this time, Farm Bureau is also accepting donations on behalf of JCARL. Items the shelter is most in need of include kitty litter, cat food, cat toys, bones, rawhide, bleach and floor cleaner.

“Like I said, we’ve really wanted to get more involved in the community so helping out the local rescue league, especially during this month seemed like a great fit. We wanted to go a step farther with our efforts, that was why we expanded on adopt a shelter dog month to include cats and take donations for the JCARL as well,” Chipera said.

Partnering with JCARL is part of the the office’s plans to expand its community outreach Chipera said.

“We’ve hosted an educational workshop and social event last month, this month we’re hosting the adoption event and donation drive and we have plans to continue to work with the community for a number of events for the future,” Chipera said.

“We’ve always been present at the Jasper County Fair and have made efforts to work with the

Farmers make good progress, Northey says DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented on the weekly Iowa crop progress and condition report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“The agreeable weather last week allowed many farmers to make good harvest progress, but with 36 percent of corn and 81 percent of soybeans harvested we remain behind the five-year average,” Northey said. “Wet fields and rain showers continue to slow progress in some areas and hopefully warm, dry weather will allow harvest to progress in a timely manner.”

Above average temperatures and mostly dry weather allowed harvest to progress at a normal pace during the 5.1 days suitable for fieldwork for the week.

With almost all of Iowa’s corn acreage mature, harvest was 36 percent complete, 16 days behind the five-year average. Moisture content of corn at harvest was estimated at 19 percent, encouraging some farmers to harvest, but still limiting others who are waiting for corn to dry down in the field.

Seventy-seven percent of the corn crop was reported in good to excellent condition.

local FFA and 4-H groups in the past because of the tie that Farm Bureau has to agriculture.”

Future outreach events are still being developed and discussed, but for now, Chipera is really encouraging residents to come out and support JCARL at her office’s event.

“Supporting animal shelters, like the JCARL, is vital. These organizations cannot run without the generosity of citizen donations to help care for the animals they take in each year. It costs money to take care of the animals that presently call the JCARL their home,” said Chipera.

“Food, boarding and veterinary care — vaccinations, spaying, neutering — isn’t free.

While some of the costs are offset by adoption fees, it’s still not enough. An organization that gives stray pets a home while they wait to become part of a family is more than deserving of the support of the community.”

Local & State News Security Continued from Page 1A “As we had told the board a couple meetings back, the technology advancements have now provided us an option to change the current cameras that the secretaries look through before they allow access of visitors,” Isaac said.

The new system provides a fisheye view of visitors, which is a vast improvement over the current model which just gives an over the top view, Isaac said. He said this new two-in-one system also provides greater audio clarity as well.

Johnson Control services in Des Moines received the contract to install the new systems, and it will be paid for through physical plant and equipment level funds. The older cameras will be placed into the buildings and the district’s own tech staff will provide those services.

Isaac’s second proposal is calling for a massive upgrade to the district’s communications system, which includes the purchase of two-way radios and an upgrade to a communications antenna.

Earlier this year, Isaac said he and Superintendent Bob Callaghan attended a multi-hazard presentation by the Federal Emergency Management Agency that warned in the case of severe situation, cell phone service is always one of the first things to go down.

FEMA suggested districts should coordinate with local first responders to develop a communication system that would be reliable and isn’t dependent on cell phones, Isaac said.

In response, Isaac said he’s been meeting with Newton Police Chief Jeff Hoebelheinrich, Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty, Jasper County

Emergency Management Coordinator Jim Sparks and Ed Roach of the Jasper County 911 Commission.

“They are willing to work with us. Once we decide on the radios, they will work with us for frequencies and be able to —in case of emergency — the sheriff ’s (office) will be able to access our frequencies and we can talk directly to them,” Isaac said.

No details on the number of radios or total cost for this proposal was available, but Isaac said he would present the information at the next meeting after being pressed by board member Bill Perrenoud.

The board agreed to hold a public hearing on the measure at 6:50 p.m. on Nov. 10 during its next regular meeting.

Information from its unofficial count shows the district has 2,989 students this year.

The unofficial count also shows the district provides 241 students with special education services.

A little more than 52 percent of students in the district receive free or reduced lunch services, which is a slight drop from the previous school year.

Cristy Croson, NCSD food service supervisors, informed the board she was forming a committee to develop a district-wide wellness policy and was on the hunt for staff members to join.

A public hearing was set for 6:45 a.m. on Nov. 10 for the purchase of a new food delivery truck.

The electric and natural gas franchise fee being discussed by the Newton City Council would cost the district between $35,000 to $60,000 annually, Callaghan estimated.

Keeping Me on My Toes

But I want to be a princess

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Oct. 28, 2014

I guess my worries were for nothing. Ghost, doctor, pirate for Halloween — nope. She wants to be a princess.

That fact would have been nice to know before I spent two days going to seven different stores trying to find a pirate costume. We go for a treasure hunt at least once a day as Mommy Pirate and Kiddo Pirate, searching under chairs and on top of dressers to find the treasure chest and key. I only assumed that she would be excited to have an actual pirate costume complete with eye patch, sword and hat. I was wrong, so very wrong.

Saturday we planned to attend the library Halloween event decked out in our brand new costumes. My youngest has been really into roaring and scaring us lately, so she was delighted with her pink and purple ensemble.

She even tried to wear it to bed the night I brought it home. Very excited about the pirate costume I finally found, my oldest started

putting on her red tights when I hear “Mommy, I don’t want to be a pirate. I want to be a princess.”

My heart sunk. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not anti-princess. I was just looking forward to having a cute little pirate search for her treasure at all of the Halloween events in the coming weeks.

The bigger obstacle was I had no princess costume for her to wear. My mom was Pork Queen when she was in high school and still has the crown she wore as well as costume jewelry from different auctions throughout the year. I hoped we could be a pirate princess, still keeping her costume and adding some sparkle. It was a no go. She wanted nothing to do with her pirate costume.

I was a little beside myself.

We had only a few minutes until the we were to be at the library and I had a 3 year old refusing the only costume I had available.

My mom took over as I dressed my youngest, searching in old

dance costumes and past dresses I had as a kid. What they came up with was quite a sight..

Still in her red tights, they added a white tutu slip with a pink star and a purple suit jacket with gold trim that was used for the beast costume in a Beauty and the Beast outfit I once had.

With the addition of the tiara, rhinestone necklace and bracelet, she was a happy princess and I was shaking my head. I was reminded that she was happy and that is what was important, but I still cringed a little as we headed out the door.

Through all of my worries, we made it to the library, and after we were home, I set out to make a princess costume. I gave the pirate one last try, but after getting turned down again, I packed it up to be returned.

After 15 years of dance, I figured I could find something for her to wear that would resemble a princess dress. I looked through tote after tote of long

Loebsack a champion for college students Phyllis Weeks Knoxville As a grandparent of two students with student loans, I believe there is only one right choice to represent Iowa’s second district in Congress — Dave Loebsack.

Election important for Jasper County Randy Ervin Newton I have heard several people lately say, “Why take the time to vote? It’s just a midterm election.” This is not just another midterm election. This election is very important to us at the national, state and specifically at the local level.

On the national level, Joni Ernst is exactly what we need — a

forgotten dresses and costumes and settled on a semi-formal dress I wore my sophomore year. It was pink with sparkles and could be tailored to fit a 3 year old, at least I hoped.

Excited with my find, I showed the kiddo, who looked at me and said she wanted to wear the purple. I love her and I want her to be happy, but that outfit just wasn’t going to cut it for this mommy. After cuts and hemming, sizing and the addition of numerous rhinestones, her new princess dress was ready.

I think the final result was acceptable, especially after we added the tiara. Having had enough of costumes, I changed the plans a little bit and the girls headed to Night Eyes in their Halloween outfits, leaving the costumes hanging in the closet.

Living and Dion

I met Joni Ernst a few years ago, and have talked with her many times, shared views and concerns, and as a fellow veteran, I expected her values to mirror what we respect in the military.

Joni has always exceeded my expectations, she is very honest, respectable, trustworthy and a lead-by-example type leader.

She is a respected officer in the Iowa Army National Guard,

a strong leader with common sense who is loyal to the Constitution of the United States and the state of Iowa.

Hopefully many folks will see around the negative ads and elect a reasonable, intelligent voice to represent Iowans. The 2014 election cycle is about to close in less than two weeks, thankfully for many, so please come out to vote for Joni Ernst!

Loebsack has championed commonsense solutions to address the student loan crisis. He helped to pass the College Cost Reduction and Access Act to make college more affordable and accessible, and cosponsored the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act to make the student loan process more efficient.

Rep. Loebsack is a former educator and a parent. He understands these issues and makes them a priority. Marionette Miller-Meeks, on the other hand, barely talks about education policy. In fact, she arranged

to have a private fundraiser with Rick Perry in August, the same Rick Perry who suggested that we abolish the Department of Education. I have little faith in radical conservatives who want to dismantle our education system, but fail to offer any policy ideas to tackle our pressing education challenges.

So if you’re a parent or a grandparent who is concerned about the growing cost of college, a student with loans, or a citizen who wants solutions instead of silence, I urge you to vote for Dave Loebsack on Nov. 4.

mom, a soldier and a leader. On the state level, Chaz Allen is the best bet. We have seen him go to bat for Jasper County and Newton before, and I think he will continue on with that battle.

The other race is Pat Payton challenging Dan Kelley. This race is too close to call, and we need everyone to get involved and learn the facts. Pat Payton has run a great race. He has done it in the correct way — knocking on doors, having local fundraisers and truly explaining what he can do for Newton and Jasper County. In all the times I have heard Patrick speak, he never once “slung mud” at his

opponent. Patrick talked about Newton being a Main Street community, a place where he has raised his children, and is proud of what Newton has accomplished.

This midterm election is very important to Newton and Jasper County. Please get out and vote, because your vote can make a difference. This election, please join me in voting for the people that can best help us in Jasper County. Specifically, I would ask you to vote for Patrick Payton — a leader from our community, and the right person to represent Jasper County and its communities.

care to more than 100,000 lowans.

Megan supports equal pay for equal work and she also supports a living wage for Iowa workers.

Her opponent seems to feel that it’s just fine to maintain the current minimum wage, a wage that leaves people who work full time with less than $16,000 a year.

Megan has a strong record of support for worker’s rights and also supports policies that will help small businesses. One of her proposals is to give a tax credit to small businesses to

help pay for health care cost.

One of Megan’s top priorities is public education. She supports additional funding for public schools and would like to see more technical training available to help retrain under employed and unemployed people in Iowa.

Megan believes in working cooperatively across party lines.

She will work hard for middle class families and for equality for all lowans. Please vote to send Megan Suhr to the Iowa House of Representatives.

This beats the care you get in the local emergency room if you’re a junky and they see you maybe six times year. In fact, if you are even suspected of having Ebola in most towns, the ambulance carrying you will go siren-ing by homeless people who are maybe three, four days from being dead.

Ebola in America is the Kim Kardashian of diseases; it’s famous but no one knows why.

You wanna know something I know?

Heroin addicts, when

they are very badly addicted, no longer really get high from shooting up. They shoot up to “get well,” as they put it.

Then, they’re no longer in withdrawal but they’re still not high, so they smoke crack to get high, just to feel something.

Don’t see that trembling little fact on the television news much, now do ya?

Hell, Renee Zellweger got more attention for getting her plastic surgery done by a guy with a jackhammer than you get if you’re hungry and old and sick and living on your own in a crummy apartment in a lousy neighborhood and you die in bed and they don’t find you until one of the other tenants smells something.

And you didn’t mean to die that way. You just got old and your family didn’t come around anymore and you couldn’t change your bed by yourself so you slept on dirty sheets and you had ulcers on your legs and the prescriptions were too expensive.

And you used to work in a factory and go dancing on Saturday night.

You should have had Ebola. You get some respect with Ebola. You get clean sheets fast with Ebola. You got Ebola, every half hour some television reporter with a red tie around his gymbuilt neck holds up a microphone and gives an “update” on your condition.

This is not to say that you shouldn’t be worried about Ebola at all. Like I said, Ebola is the Kim Kardashian of diseases.

Look what happened with her. One day no one was worried and a couple months later, she’d gotten out into the general population.

Bad news dampens delight over best friend’s generosity DEAR ABBY: My husband’s best friend gave us a very generous gift for our toddler. However, it arrived with the news that the baby he and his girlfriend are expecting may have serious complications, which could result in termination of the pregnancy. Abby, I am also expecting.

I know I should send them a thankyou note, but I don’t want to sound overly cheerful when someone is obviously suffering. Is there a way to appropriately express our thanks in writing while still being sensitive? I want to show my concern without overstepping my boundaries. — LOST FOR WORDS DEAR LOST: My advice is to stay on message. Thank the man for his generous gift and say how much it is appreciated. If you wish to express concern for the difficult time they are going through, do so without going into detail. It’s sufficient to say that he and his girlfriend are in your thoughts and prayers. Make no reference to your own pregnancy because in this communication it’s not relevant.

DEAR ABBY: I work with the public and make small talk all day long.

At the end of a busy day, I like to go to a neighborhood restaurant by myself for a quiet dinner. My problem is the owner, “Giovanni.” He’s a very nice man, and he’ll sit down at my table to chat, often for the entire meal. To complicate matters, he speaks limited English and conversation with him is a chore.

I can’t think of a polite way to ask that I be left alone without hurting his feelings and making future visits awkward. Any suggestions? — HUNGRY AND TIRED IN THE EAST DEAR H AND T: A polite way to do it would be to say, “Giovanni, I like you very much. But I have had a hard day. All I want to do is sit down, eat my food and stare into space. Please un-

derstand.” Unless he is very new to the hospitality business, he should regard that as his cue to back off.

DEAR ABBY: I live with my parents and when my mom does laundry, she always asks me if I want to throw any of my clothes in with hers and vice versa. The problem is, when the cycle is finished, she throws everything into the dryer — even items that will shrink or wrinkle. I’ve asked her not to do it, but she persists.

Now, I know what you’re going to say: “Do your own laundry.” I have tried. But if Mom hears the wash finish before I do, she goes out and chucks everything into the dryer. Last week she shrank half my socks.

I can’t think of a solution aside from doing my laundry when she is out of the house, which would be difficult because she’s retired. I’m starting to get frustrated. Any ideas? — FRUSTRATED IN COLUMBUS DEAR FRUSTRATED: If your mother is also forgetting other things, it’s possible she may be in the early stages of dementia. However, if that’s not the case, then your solution is practical — or consider taking your things to a laundromat. It would be less expensive than constantly having to buy new socks.

Teen killed in car collision in eastern Iowa CALAMUS — Authorities say an 18-yearold has been killed after his vehicle collided with a semi in eastern Iowa.

The Clinton County Sheriff ’s Office says the crash happened Monday afternoon on Highway 30 near Calamus. A car traveling east on the highway collided with the semi, which was traveling west. The driver of the semi told authorities the smaller car crossed the center line before the crash. The driver of the smaller vehicle, Connor A. Robinson, of Oceanside, Calif., was pronounced dead at the scene.

SAC CITY — A judge says a 17-yearold facing vehicular homicide charges in the deaths of two teenagers will be prosecuted as an adult.

District Associate Judge Adria Kester says the 17-year-old does not have reasonable prospects of rehabilitation if he remains in juvenile court.

The 17-year-old is charged with two counts of vehicular homicide in Sac County Juvenile Court. Court records do not yet indicate any filings in district court.

Democratic attack ads aim to save Senate majority WA S H I N G T O N (AP) — Their majority in jeopardy, Senate Democrats unleashed a late-campaign round of attack ads Monday accusing Republicans in key races of harboring plans to cut Social Security and Medicare.

The commercials in Iowa, New Hampshire, Louisiana and elsewhere appear aimed at older voters, who cast ballots in relatively large numbers in midterm elections and have tended to support Republicans in recent years.

One ad, airing in Iowa, shows Republican candidate Joni Ernst on videotape saying, “Yes, I have talked about privatizing Social Security.”

Another, which began appearing in New Hampshire during the day, says that while Scott Brown was a senator from Massachusetts he voted to “cut Medicare and Social Security while giving tax breaks to millionaires and oil companies.”

Gretchen Hamel, a spokeswoman for Ernst, countered that the “Democratic attacks on Social Security are as predictable as they are false.” Jennifer Horn, Republican chairwoman in New Hampshire, said that Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, Brown’s opponent, “cast the deciding vote for Obamacare that cuts Medicare by $716 billion.”

The televised attack ads, financed by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, come with little over a week remaining until elections that will test whether Republicans can win control of the Senate for the final two years of President Barack Obama’s term.

The GOP also is hoping to pad its majority in the House. Thirty-six states will elect governors.

Obama’s weak approval ratings have buoyed Republicans in numerous states, and Democrats are counting on a costly get-out-thevote operation to save their Senate majority.

GOP candidates must gain at least six seats to

win a majority in the Senate that convenes in January.

Officials at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee announced the new ads relating to Social Security and Medicare in Iowa, Louisiana and New Hampshire, in addition to one that began airing last week in Arkansas.

Separately, the Senate Majority PAC, an organization that backs Senate Democrats, is showing a commercial in Kentucky that says Republic leader Mitch McConnell “voted to privatize Social Security, gamble trust fund money in the stock market” where ‘40 per-

cent of it could have been lost” in the stock market decline that began in 2008.

Allison Moore, a spokesman for McConnell, said his campaign views the ad as inaccurate and is appealing to television stations to stop running it.

Republicans said the campaign attacks would fail.

Carl Forti, political director of American Crossroads, which has spent millions supporting Republican candidates, said, “Incumbent Democrats have been getting pounded for over a year for voting for Obamacare which cuts Medicare by hundreds of millions of

dollars and Medicare Advantage as well.”

“Millions of votes have already been cast around the country.

It’s a little too late for Democrats to try and muddy the waters by attacking Republicans for cutting Medicare,” he said.

There is little dispute about the importance of votes cast by older Americans, especially in midterm elections when there is no presidential election.

In the most recent midterm election, 2010, voters 65 and over accounted for 21 percent of all ballots.

Two years ago, that percentage declined to 16 percent.

Biden: Voters can ‘stop the march’ of tea party

By RYAN J. FOLEY The Associated Press DAVENPORT — Campaigning in one of the nation’s key U.S. Senate contests, Vice President Joe Biden said Monday that keeping Democratic control of the chamber would “break the back of the hard right” and ease gridlock in Washington.

Biden said next week’s choice between Democrat Bruce Braley and Republican Joni Ernst for the open Senate seat in Iowa was critical to the outcome. If Braley wins and the Democrats maintain their majority, he said, the Republicans in Congress will be open to compromising with Democrats on issues such as raising the federal minimum wage.

“If that happens and it will, what’s going to happen is it’s going to break the back of the hard right,” he said. “You are going to see many reasonable people in the Republican Party start to vote reasonably

again.

Not exactly like we do.

But they are going to be open to the kind of comBiden promise that’s always allowed this nation to move forward.”

Biden was the latest high-profile surrogate to visit Iowa as Braley, a four-term congressman, seeks a late surge in his tight race against Ernst.

Hillary Clinton is coming Wednesday, and former President Bill Clinton will be in on Saturday. Biden was traveled to Rockford, Illinois, later Monday to campaign for Gov. Pat Quinn and other Democrats.

He warned that Republicans wouldn’t have the backs of working people. “They don’t come from where we come from. They don’t get it.

They don’t understand

how important it is,” Biden said.

In Davenport, Biden addressed activists inside a banquet hall at Modern Woodmen Park, a minor league baseball stadium along the Mississippi River. He appeared with Braley and Democratic U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack, who is trying to fend off a tough Republican challenge to win a fifth term.

Biden said he had struggled to negotiate compromises with Republicans in the House and Senate over the last four years because the deals were not palatable to tea party members in those chambers. He said voters in America had consensus on many policies that were being blocked as a result.

“If we don’t stop the march of the tea party now, those majority Republicans in the House and Senate who know better are never going to have the courage to stand up and vote the right

way,” he said.

Republicans need to gain six seats to control the Senate. Biden warned Democrats that, “if we lose, we’re going to be pushed back another six or eight years.” He said if tea party conservatives such as Ernst prevail, moderate Republicans “will be scared” to work with Democrats because they will fear primary challenges from the right.

Biden did not mention Ernst by name — calling her the “woman who is running against Bruce” — but he criticized the state senator’s policy positions. He said her call for abolishing the Department of Education was a “bad idea.”

He also criticized Ernst for a comment in which she said Medicaid recipients “have no personal responsibility for their health care,” saying the program helps struggling families afford care in nursing homes and treatment for disabled children.

La Motte farmer raises pumpkins to help charities The Associated Press LA MOTTE — Challenged by their pastor to make a $20 gift grow, one eastern Iowa family decided to grow pumpkins.

In 2010, the pastor of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church asked his congregation of about 25 members to find a way to increase the money they received from the church.

Farmer Lynn Sanders said he purchased pumpkins seeds. He and his family grew several thousand pumpkins over the last five years by dedicating a part of their land each year to cultivating them.

Sanders’ family lets local residents take the pumpkins for free in the church’s parking lot, and residents can also make donations.

“We get lots of pennies, nickels and dimes from little kids cleaning

out their piggy banks, which is great,” he said.

“There’s no reason for a kid to go without a fall decoration.”

Sanders said they also have received sizeable contributions, including multiple checks of $40 to $50.

That money has gone toward the church’s annual fall fundraiser, which raises money for charities. This year, the church raised more than $4,000 to help the Hospice of Jackson County.

When they started, the Sanders family used only one acre to grow the pumpkins.

But this year, they increased that to two acres, producing more than 1,000 pumpkins.

“It’s great to do this with my family, it’s a great thing that the whole church comes together, and it feels good knowing that this money is going to charity,” Sanders said.

Washington school shooter remembered with victims The Associated Press MARYSVILLE, Wash. — Among the balloons and flowers tied to the chain-link fence outside Marysville-Pilchuck High School are these: a white wrestling shoe; a youth football team photo, with one player encased in a red-marker heart; and a candle covered with a plastic cup bearing the name “Jaylen.”

They are all tributes to Jaylen Fryberg, the popular 15-yearold freshman who texted five

friends to invite them to lunch Friday and then gunned them down at a table in the school’s cafeteria.

Two girls died in the attack, and three other students — including two of Fryberg’s cousins — were gravely wounded. Fryberg died after shooting himself.

While families or friends of shooting victims sometimes express sympathy or forgiveness for the perpetrators, the notion of a mass shooter being memorialized alongside his victims is

unusual, experts say. It speaks to the unique grief this community is feeling, even in a nation where such horrors are becoming ever more common.

“Usually there’s so much anger and frustration and bewilderment in the aftermath, and generally the shooter is not someone who was this loved over time,” said Carolyn Reinach Wolf, a mental health attorney who studies mass shootings.

“This is a very different response. Some of that is a credit

to the community: People are able to get past the grief of the victims and see that the shooter’s family is grieving and horrified just as much.”

Fryberg, a football player who was named a prince on the school’s homecoming court one week before the killings, was a member of a prominent Tulalip Indian Tribes family. He seemed happy, although he was also upset about a girl, friends said. His Twitter feed was recently full of vague, anguished postings, such

as “It won’t last ... It’ll never last,” and “I should have listened. ... You were right ... The whole time you were right.”

On Friday, he pulled out a handgun in the cafeteria and started shooting. The victims were Zoe R. Galasso, 14, who died at the scene; Gia Soriano, 14, who died at a hospital Sunday night; Shaylee Chuckulnaskit, 14, who is in critical condition; and his cousins, Nate Hatch, 14, and Andrew Fryberg, 15.

Newton’s Cardinals go after playoff victory Wednesday at Clear Creek-Amana.

Newton High’s Cardinals, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s Raiders, Colfax-Mingo’s Tigerhawks and Prairie City-Monroe’s Mustangs play on in Iowa high school football. The regular season concluded Friday.

These four area teams have opening-round playoff games Wednesday.

Game times are 7 p.m.

Newton’s Cardinals (63) head to Tiffin to take on the Clear Creek-Amana Clippers, who are 7-2, in a Class 3A clash. The Cardinals are back in the playoffs after narrowly missing them in 2013.

“The kids have been focused in practice and we’re excited to be in the playoffs again. We were able to end the regular season with a strong win at Nevada.

We’re working to build on that momentum going into Wednesday’s game,” said Ed Ergenbright, Newton head coach.

After watching film on the Clippers, Ergenbright compared Clear CreekAmana to Ballard in terms of size and style of play.

Clear Creek-Amana was a district champion and the most points the Clippers have given up was 27.

Newton is led by senior quarterback Tyler Wood.

Wood is the top rusher for the Cardinals, 723 yards on 134 carries, and he is 54-of-108 for 804 yards passing. He has seven touchdown passes and has thrown two interceptions in Newton’s nine games.

Wood has rushed for 10 touchdowns.

In the backfield, Newton utilized the running skills of seniors Deonne Harris, Tristan Peters and J.T. Thongvanh along with junior Joseph Banfield and sophomore Reese Rosenquist. Senior wide receiver Nick Easley also gets in on the rushing attack at times.

Harris has 495 yards on 49 carries and Banfield produced 478 yards on 78 carries. Both have six touchdowns. Peters had rushed for 278 yards followed by Thongvanh with 175 and Rosenquist with 157 yards.

Easley, who is ranked 16th in Class 3A for receiving yards, has 27 catches for 444 yards and six touchdowns for the

Cardinals. Jordan Travis, senior tight end, has nine receptions for 107 yards while Banfield made four receptions for 114 yards and a touchdown during the regular season.

“Everything starts up front. Our offensive line has come together pretty well this season,” Ergenbright said. “Key for us on Wednesday night is to move the football, take care of the football and make the most of our scoring opportunities. We need to sustain drives to keep their offense on the sideline.”

Ergenbright said Clear Creek-Amana has big offensive and defensive lines, much like Ballard — a team Newton beat 17-14 in district play. He said defensively, the Cardinals had to limit giving up the big plays, which they have done lately.

“We have to force them to drive the field to score.

They appear athletic at the skill positions and we have to tackle well,” Ergenbright said. “We’ve seen the zone-read offense they PLAYOFFS | 2A

Cardinals fall in regional play

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News OSKALOOSA — Newton High’s regional volleyball match Monday was indicative of the season the Cardinals have had. Up and down.

They were right with host Oskaloosa, a team that they’ve lost to twice during the regular season. It was 4-4 in the first set, then the Indians began to steadily pull away. Oskaloosa rolled in the second set in which Newton lost the services of sophomore Megan Pressgrove to an injury.

Newton’s players did not allow the Indians to have a cakewalk into the quarterfinals of the Class 4A Region 4 tournament. The Cardinals pushed to an 11-5 lead on a five-point serving run by sophomore Ry-

anne Rausch.

With Rausch serving, junior Allison Ergenbright and sophomore Kaytlin Ahn did the damage at the net. The Cardinals held a 17-13 lead, but the Indians’ regained control. Brooke Caves served for eight straight points to put Oskaloosa on top, 22-18.

Rausch served up two more points, one on a kill by Ahn. That was it.

The Indians served out the set and the match.

Oskaloosa downed Newton 25-14, 25-10, 25-21 to advance into the regional quarterfinals against Grinnell on Thursday. It concluded the Cardinals 2014 season at 7-29.

“There were ups and downs with this being a strong learning year,” said first-year head coach Laura Rowen.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News At the net for a tip is Newton High’s Allison Ergenbright (12) against Oskaloosa in Monday night’s Class 4A Region 4 opening-round match at Oskaloosa. The Indians knocked the Cardinals out of the playoffs in three straight sets.

Young Mustangs ousted early by North Polk

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News ALLEMAN — Having swept its conference rival earlier this season, the North Polk volleyball team wanted to send a quick message to the Prairie City-Monroe netters right away Monday.

The Comets jumped out to an early lead and never looked back during their Class 3A Region 6 openinground match here.

North Polk sophomore Han-

nah Becker finished with 15 kills and had just one error on the night as the Comets dominated from the start in sweeping the Mustangs for the second time this year, 2510, 25-18, 25-13.

“We did some really good volleyball things,” said PCM coach Mollie Keitges. “We just have to play more volleyball. We’ll get there if they are willing to work at it.”

The Comets put the Mustangs away early in all three games and PCM

couldn’t recover.

The Mustangs got down 11-2 in the opening set, 5-1 in the second frame and trailed 8-1 in the final stanza and ended their season at 9-25. They finished the year losing nine of their final 10 matches.

“Against a team like that, we can’t dig ourselves a hole,” said Keitges.

“We can’t let them go on any runs and in all three games, they went on runs to start the game.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B “The girls made great strides. We can take all that has come out of this season, learn from it, and apply it to the future.”

Newton had one lone senior, Sydney Hemann, this year. In her final match for NHS, Hemann had three kills, four set assists and went 4-for4 at the serving line.

Ahn, who returned the lineup on Monday, came off the bench to lead the Cardinals with eight kills. She also had eight digs. Rausch and sophomore Courtney Jacobsen each had two kills. Recording one kill each were Ergenbright, sophomore Morgan Allen and junior Stephanie Hoebelheinrich.

Pressgrove also had one kill before leaving the match. She

PCM Continued from Page 1B “We did some really good volleyball things. We just have to play more volleyball. We’ll get there if they are willing to work at it.”

PCM had just three seniors on its roster. Courtney VanHouweling led the Mustangs with seven kills and seven digs.

The rest of the roster is littered with seven freshmen and sophomores and that inexperience reared its ugly head at times this season.

“We’re just inexperienced volleyball players,” said Keitges. “We are working on it. They have improved so much since I took over last year. We played this team so much better than we did when we played in the conference match.”

The Mustangs lost to North Polk in straight sets back on Sept. 11. In that match, PCM only scored 30 points. That number grew to 41 on Monday, but North Polk was too good at the net and from behind the service line.

The Comets (21-11) avoided a first-round upset thanks in part to 13 service aces.

“It was our serve-receive passing. We had some good at-

had one solo block at the net and five set assists. Pressgrove went in the air to make a play on the ball at the net and came down in obvious pain.

Rowen said Pressgrove has been battling a lower back problem throughout the season.

Junior Fran Lucas, who is the Cardinals’ libero, came up with 10 digs. Sophomore Courtney Jacobsen had two digs while Allen, Ergenbright and Rausch each had one dig.

Hoebelheinrich had a solo block at the net. Allen and Rausch had a block assist

apiece.

Rausch went 13-for-14 at the service line and had one ace serve. Lucas recorded an ace serve.

tacks on the ball, but our serve receive passing broke down and we had push things over and tip things over and that’s hard to defend against,” said Keitges. “Serve receive hasn’t been an issue this year. They are a more aggressive serving team. They certainly earned their aces but we surely didn’t make it tough on them either.”

The Mustangs trailed 4-2 early in the opener, but North Polk rolled off seven straight to take command of the set. The run came on Comet sophomore Gracie Harmeyer’s serve and the setter recorded three aces during that stretch.

Another run later in the frame for the Comets put the Mustangs in an early hole on the scoreboard. After closing to with 17-9, the Comets used a second 7-0 spurt to get to game point.

During that run, Becker had two kills and senior libero Morgyn Bullock served up a pair of aces. Becker had a hitting percentage better than .300 on the night and Bullock chipped in nine digs and six aces.

“She carries the load for the team,” said North Polk coach Susan Nemmers of her sophomore hitter. “We have some other hitters who can produce,

but we heavily rely on her to lead.”

The second set was the most competitive. Despite an early 5-1 hole, the Mustangs rallied to 13-11 behind a pair of kills from VanHouweling and a another blast from Karina VanDyke. The Comets tried to put the Mustangs away later but couldn’t close them out until Becker delivered two kills and Lilly Lomica’s attack sealed the deal.

The Mustangs couldn’t overcome an 8-1 start in the third frame. Junior Ashley Van Gorp and sophomore Katie VandeWall tried to keep things close with a pair of kills, but the Comets wouldn’t be denied.

“We wanted to send a message early in the match,” said Nemmers. “That was part of the game plan.”

North Polk hosts Williamsburg in Thursday’s regional semifinal. Williamsburg defeated Bondurant-Farrar in straight sets, 25-18, 25-11, 25-19.

The Mustangs end their season and say goodbye to three graduating seniors — VanHouweling, Mackenzie Clark and Emma Williams.

“I’ve had them the past two years,” said Keitges of her three seniors. “My style is completely different than the coach they

had the first two years, so they were really receptive and open to learn what I wanted to teach them.

“They picked it up quickly.

It would have been easy to get frustrated but they didn’t and kept plugging away and I think they see the vision we are working toward. We didn’t reach it while they were here, but those three worked hard and showed us great leadership. They are three great kids and we’ll definitely miss them.”

Van Gorp finished with a team-high 10 digs for the Mustangs. She also was 8-for8 in serves and finished with three kills. VandeWall also had four kills, and sophomore Jayci Vos added eight assists, one ace and was 10-of-11 in serves.

Lomica and Carly Madson had six kills apiece to compliment Becker’s effort. Harmeyer dished out 27 assists and served up four aces. Lomica’s 11 digs also were a match high.

Notebook VanHouweling ended the season with a team-high 203 kills and 336 digs. Van Gorp collected 274 digs, while Vos collected 292 assists.

“We’re just going to go out and do what we do the best and see what happens,” Ergenbright said. “We do have a couple of players with injuries, who are day-to-day right now. We’ll just have to see how they bounce back from those and if they are able to go on Wednesday.”

Winners on Wednesday advance to the second round on Monday.

South Hardin at CMB CMB’s Raiders are on a historic run right now, They have recorded the team’s first-ever undefeated regular season.

“I think upfront is going to be important for us offensively. We have to establish a run game. We know we have the playmakers. If we can get the ball to our playmakers, we have to control the line of scrimmage a little better than we did Friday night,” said Rob Luther, CMB head coach.

PCM at Williamsburg PCM’s Mustangs stum-

Neptune guides the realm of vision and in Pisces is particularly creative and spiritually aligned.

Real insights are coming together as the sun and Neptune form the same 120-degree angle that occurred yesterday between Venus and Neptune.

Strong themes around identity and self-esteem will be carried out in the hours and days to come.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 28). You’ll mature into a new stage of life in which you feel more powerful and independent.

The special events that pepper the end of the year (concerts, parties, family gatherings) will make it so memorable. A dear friend will open professional or social doors for you in November. There’s a windfall in May and August. Cancer and Libra people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 50, 2, 43, 19 and 16.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Even the most skeptical person can benefit from some kind of faith.

Think of your faith as a muscle that needs exercise. There is no shortage

of unknowable things to believe in. Choose a few of your favorites and invest some faith.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Overgeneralization is a dangerous habit to watch out for in yourself and others. Nothing is all one way. Nuzzle up to life’s ambiguities today because they will help you understand the very thing that will enrich you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your rational mind leads the way for most of the day, but by evening this side of your brain is ready to take a break. That’s when the emotional person inside will call out for comfort and security.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). It’s pointless to anticipate the next cycle of life or the one after that, because the cycle you’re in requires so much attention. Don’t let yourself rush ahead in fear or excitement. Stay here.

Here needs you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You have incredible powers of discipline in a

certain area of your life and practically none in others. You’ll have willpower to apply elsewhere when you stop needing so much of it to keep up with your regular life.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Unexpected additions and requests are bound to make this day busier than expected. When the choice is between waiting and hustling, hustle. If you go at the suggested pace, you’ll already be behind.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). They might not talk openly about it because it’s hard to explain, but you might be surprised by how many successful people rely on intuition every day. Rely on yours to avoid potential unpleasantness this afternoon.

you see yourself is more important than how others see you, and yet today it’s practically impossible to get an accurate selfimage. Better to forget yourself and get lost in a project.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Keep up with your social life even though you may not feel like it. One of your friends or loved ones needs to talk to you more than he or she lets on. Don’t let anyone go lonely on your dime!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Painful thoughts usually have something to teach you, so try to lean into them instead of rejecting them as negativity.

Let those thoughts inspire you to act, resolve things or escape them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Someone who wants to know what you know will shadow, research or interview you. It’s flattering to receive this kind of attention, though you’re compelled toward privacy.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Showing up is enough today. If you can show up strong, all the better, but you don’t have to. Take the pressure off, because you’ll make a difference by simply checking in where you’re supposed to.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). You know that how
