Economic development progress continues for city Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Dave Briden, of FRK Design, presents “Option 3” preliminary schematic designs Thursday to get input from the Newton Community School District Berg Complex bond advisory committee.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The city’s progress in the area of economic development was presented to the city council in the second monthly update on the 2015-2017 strategic action plan.

Economic development is one of four essential purposes the city identified as a part of the action plan that serves as more of a detailed guide of what the city staff are working on to further the city’s goals.

“The city’s purpose is to build a strong economic base with high-quality jobs. This is to be accomplished by creating a vibrant downtown, attracting business growth around the interstate interchanges, assisting local business

with expansion and growing the population and strengthening the community by attracting young families and retaining existing residents,” City of Newton Management Analyst Natalie Umsted said.

Four goals were set by the city to accomplish this essential purposes. The first is to create a strong and vibrant downtown by supporting the Main Street program, facilitate and create downtown housing opportunities and update the downtown street and streetscape appearance.

The second goal details creating retail growth and development throughout the city.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News FRK design representatives brought in three preliminary schematic designs Thursday to get input from the Newton Community School District Berg Complex bond advisory committee, which is comprised of NCSD faculty and other community members. From the left are Seth Banwell, Toni Peska, Tara Zehr and Nathan Unsworth.

Three preliminary designs received feedback; election not likely for February

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Dozens of community priorities and preferences were revealed when FRK Design’s three preliminary drawings of the proposed Berg Complex rebuild were presented at Thursday’s Newton Community School

District bond advisory committee meeting.

Perhaps more importantly, information presented at the beginning of the meeting made it seem increasingly less likely that the bond election will happen on Feb. 2.

“I’m advocating for September,” said Leigh McGivern, who made a presentation at the beginning of the meeting. “There’s a big difference between polished versus ‘Keystone Cops,’ in terms of presenting organized information to voters.”

That kind of information led to several questions for McGivern, the owner of the BasicLeigh Communications mar-

keting firm, but it didn’t seem to have much effect on the main task of the evening. Dave Briden and Rachelle Hines of FRK presented their three schematic Berg Complex drawings to a bond committee of about 25 people, and the committee gave FRK feedback to take into account in the next design phase.

The committee, comprised of Newton Community School District board of education members and staff members, along with representatives from many facets of the community, had provided input to FRK about priorities for the re-design BERG | 3A

starting at 4 p.m. Tuesday to prepare the downtown for the changing weather and tidy it up before the holiday season begins.

“We’re going to be cleaning out the flower beds around the down-

town. We’re going to be doing some sweeping and general clean up in preparation for the big weekend in the downtown that spurs the holiday shopping seasons,” said Erin Chambers, Newton’s director of planning and zoning.

Those looking to help can meet in front of the Chamber of Commerce/ Main Street Office, 113 First Ave. W., at 4 p.m.

Any tools that might be useful, including gloves, push brooms and spades are appreciated to help with the clean up.

The group will work until it runs out of light, so if a volunteer cannot make it at 4 p.m., they are still invited to join when they are able.

“It is actually a lot of fun and a great feeling of accomplishment,” Newton City Council Member Lin Chapé said.

Calendar What’s happening for the week of Nov. 1 - 6

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Elizabeth Hoksbergen of the Apples of Gold Center for Learning made a dyslexia presentation during a Tuesday seminar at Newton Christian School. The seminar was titled “Different by Design” to reflect the differences in the way dyslexic students learn and think, and to separate the language processing disorder from laziness or low intelligence.

Dyslexia widely misunderstood by public, presenter says Seminar focused on the basics of recognizing the disorder

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When a parent announces to their friends their child is dyslexic, the awkward faces and glances might reflect sympathy.

When a special-education teacher learns a child is dyslexic, it’s an opportunity to help the child teach and develop in a new way.

However, according to Elizabeth Hoksbergen, the gap between the vast body of research data on dyslexia and the way it is handled by most schools is “titanic.” As the executive director of Pella-based Apples of Gold Learning Centers since 2000, Hoksbergen made a two-hour presentation Tuesday at Newton Christian School, discussing the myths, facts and her own personal experiences in dealing with dyslexia.

Noting that October is Dyslexia Awareness Month, Hoksbergen defined dyslexia as a language processing disorder, rather than simply reading words or letters backwards, or it being an emotional, physical or mental illness.

One of the myths she addressed was whether dyslexia is even a real illness.

“I did a (Des Moines area) radio show recently, and a staff member later stopped me and told me I was perpetuating a scam; that very few people have dyslexia,” Hoksbergen said. “So there’s still a lot of work to do in terms of awareness.”

Hoksbergen said between one in six and one in five people — or

between about 17 and 20 percent — have some form of dyslexia.

There are millions of Americans who have mild or one of six more severe forms of the disorder, and it isn’t necessary to wait until the mid-grade-school years to have a student diagnosed.

“Studies show diagnosis can be made with 92 percent accuracy by the second semester of kindergarten,” Hoksbergen said. “That could give parents a huge leg up on getting more testing done and possibly treatment.”

Describing dyslexia as more of a difference in a type of processing rather than a defective one, she said understanding the strengths and weaknesses of the dyslexic is a huge key. Many dyslexic people have gone on to become hugely successful by focusing on their strengths, she said, including Muhammad Ali, William Butler Yeats and Tommy Hilfiger.

She said memorization of sequences or long lists or exact formulas tend to be areas where dyslexics struggle. For example, there seem to be few dyslexics who become accountants, but many gravitate toward outside-the-box sciences.

“Word is that NASA prefers to hire dyslexics as engineers, because of the problem-solving skills,” she said.

Attention deficit disorder and ADHD co-exist with dyslexia about 40 percent of the time, she said.

Describing some profound dif-

VOTE

ferences between her own children, Hoksbergen pointed out performance comparison in how older or younger siblings are doing in certain categories, based on the notion that all siblings should be good at the same things.

“Celebrating successes is a big deal,” she said. “It’s important for the student to believe the closest people believe in them, and believe they are smart.”

Hoksbergen also touched on Iowa Code 279.68. That’s an expansive public-education law that includes several definitions, including this one for dyslexia: “A specific and significant impairment in the development of reading, including, but not limited to, phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension, that is not solely accounted for by intellectual disability, sensory disability or impairment, or lack of appropriate instruction.”

Hoksbergen said it’s been estimated that as many as 60 percent of American prison inmates have at least a mild form of dyslexia. She said that might be part of why the disorder is not only stigmatized, but also misunderstood.

“Sure, there are a lot of people who have struggled in life, who happen to have dyslexia,” she said.

“But there are also many successful people with it, too.”

of areas.

“Some of the notable accomplishments that we’ve had recently in areas of economic development include the completion of streetscape design and downtown design guidelines, extensive renovations at the downtown Best Western and partnering with the state on a number of projects such as the community’s first ever Main Street challenge grant for $75,000,

a successful application for workforce housing tax credits and working with the railroad to access a new DOT grant program,” Umsted said.

Additional projects that are a part of the action plan include recruiting new stores, restaurants and hotels and to produce at least one qualified site eligible to be included in the Iowa Economic Development Authority’s Certified Development site program.

The next essential purpose to be presented to the council in November is high quality of life with effective, efficient democratic governance following in December. The cycle will then start over in January with a second visit to the purpose of making Newton a safe community.

with two gymnasiums and a space to build an auditorium later, if desired.

Briden said the preliminary drawings for the grades 5-8 Berg facility mostly took major elements of the main school building into account, in terms of location. For example, there is an art “unit” depicted, with the understanding there will be a kiln room and other rooms within it, and parking areas were not marked out in any detail, as those details will be handled later.

There are no further meetings scheduled, but Newton Superintendent Bob Callaghan said there will be at

least two weeks notice before the next one. A public-input meeting about district boundaries for next year’s planned reconfiguration, which was set for Wednesday and announced less than a week prior, was postponed to Nov. 17.

The bond committee seemed to have a sense of urgency when there was only discussion of a Feb. 2 election date, but it seems a different target date will evolve soon.

McGivern not only said an April vote (school bond election dates are mandated by the state) would be tough to do, but a September 2016 bond vote might be tough, as voters will be inundated with nation-

al-election mailings, phone calls and media coverage at that time.

A 60 percent approval is needed for an Iowa school bond to pass, and a failed bond vote cannot be brought back before the voters for at least six months.

A few people in the meeting advocated for the Feb. 2 election date. Nathan Unsworth, a member of the committee, said the Feb. 2 date might be an easier way to pass if “bad weather causes some of the ‘no’ voters to stay home. ” Board member Andy Elbert took an informal showof-hands poll, with April and September being nearly even

and only one person supporting Feb. 2 as an election date.

McGivern warned it wouldn’t be wise to wait a great length of time before giving voters the chance to help replace the aging Berg Complex, but it’s important to take time to market the message.

“There is such a thing as ‘bond fatigue,’ where everyone is tired of hearing about it,” she said. “But it’s also important to take the time to get all oars in the water — rowing in the same direction.”

The Black Angel

By Kate Malott Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Oct. 30, 2015

East of downtown Iowa City lies an eerily old and lonely red brick road called Brown Street, and at the end of the quiet road stands a tall black metal gate with white stone pillars. The unlatched entrance gate creeks and cries as the wind blows it open and leads guests into the 45 acre rolling hills of Oakland Cemetery.

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

Its winding roads quickly pull you in like quicksand and you find yourself at the center of this lush, shaded picturesque place standing at the feet of a

large shadowing statued woman.

There she stands — the Black Angel — a beautiful, curvy, mesmerizing goddess who epitomizes mystery and wonder.

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

Teresa Feldevert, an immigrant from the Czech Republic and Slovakia area, lost her son, Edward Dolezal, who died in Iowa City in 1891. Teresa Feldevert commissioned a bronze angel statue to be made by sculptor Mario Korbel, and it was transported to Iowa City in 1913. The 10-foot statue which stands atop a four-foot stone was placed in Oakland to honor and lay to rest the ashes of her son, her second husband Nicholas Feldevert and later herself. The monument displays Teresa Feldevert’s birth date, but there is no sign of her death date.

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

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

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

With one wing down, relaxed and the other raised, pointed straight out, she stands with her head down as if in grief, or maybe shame, while her eyes look in the same direction as her pointed wing. Legend has it she points

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

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

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

Hot Flashes: Proof God is not female

Another View

Serving the city is a privilege and responsibility It has been a privilege to serve Ward 1 for the past four years. It has been a great learning experience for me and my family. It is truly mind-blowing the amount of planning and teamwork it takes for a city to grow and function properly. I used to think that the city ran on its own. We

By Jeff Price had a police department, fire department and people who plowed snow.

When I started, like everyone else, I decided I wanted to help Newton turn the page on the past and move forward.

Many of our accomplishments the past four years were due to citizen input. Specifically speaking, we have improved our nuisance control, started an aggressive D&D program, and also made infrastructure improvements. I have had the

pleasure of working with six different council members over the last four years and with two mayors. I feel that Newton is on the right course to continue to grow in a positive way. The current council has honored the past but continues to be forward thinking to prepare us for future development.

Housing starts, street improvements, commercial D&D and an aggressive approach to commercial development is something that we have strived to accomplish. We have just shy of 10 housing starts as I type this, more than we have had in years. With new homes we attract new families, growing the community. Multiple street improvements have been made over the past two summers and more have been slated for 2016 and beyond.

With the Buxton Study we now have the ammunition we need to help guide businesses to this community. I am excited to see what our future holds.

Nov. 3 is a very important

date. This is your chance to have a say in the future of Newton. Make sure you research your candidates for all positions and go to the polls. City elections directly affect your everyday life more than any other election. These individuals are your voice and this is your chance to make the biggest difference.

I want to thank the citizens of Newton for your support as I prepare to turn my position over to the next qualified candidate.

It has been a pleasure serving you and our community. I want to thank my fellow council members and the mayor for all of the time and effort they have put in to make our community a better place to live. Lastly, I want to thank every single employee of Newton for working hard every day to take my community to the next level and for helping make it a great place to raise my family.

My hubs and I agree on many things. However, one thing we absolutely cannot see eyeto-eye on is the t e m perature setting for our house.

I love By Dana King the cooler temperatures of our current season. My summer attire is packed away and the sweatshirts have made their way to the front of the closet. No more capris. No more sandals. Just denim, flannel and fleece. And my fan.

I don’t care what the temperature is inside or out; I want my fan. And I want my fan turned ON. Morning, noon and night, I want the cool air moving in my presence. No, I take that back. I don’t want it … I NEED it.

Every time I leave the room, if only for a few minutes, hubby has turned my fan off, apparently under some delusion I won’t notice upon my return. Let me just say, he is dead wrong! I notice! And depending on my body’s core temperature, he can often be assured of a fiery glare from me or even a verbal reprimand, commonly known as a hissy fit. Oh, it’s not a game. This is serious stuff.

And nighttime is the worst. He’s wrapped up like a cocoon under the blankets with several layers of thermal clothing on, while I’m inches away with a fan blowing on me, thrashing about trying to find the coolest area on the sheets.

He just doesn’t get it.

The Mayo Clinic website defines hot flashes as a “sudden feelings of warmth.”

Are you kidding me? I’d say it’s closer to a sudden feeling of a sleeping serpent abruptly awakening spewing molten lava through your veins.

It also suggests “a variety of treatments for particularly bothersome hot flashes.” Particularly bothersome? Do those people even know any women over 50? (I might note, the definition page has a byline of Mayo Clinic Staff. In other words, some man didn’t have the nerve to put his name to the piece.)

No, life isn’t fair.

It’s common knowledge our house is always cold in the winter.

I have four responses to that: 1. Put on more clothing; 2. There are plenty of blankets around; 3. Until you become a 50-plus-year-old female, don’t complain to me; and 4. Leave my fan alone!

on a refueling tanker.

He served numerous tours of duty including Alaska and Hawaii, and overseas in Saudi Arabia, Korea, Japan, Azores and Kuwait.

Wes married Cathi Hanrahan (SHS ‘91) in 1993, and they had two beautiful and amazing kids, Walker Dale and Cortni Mae. After leaving the Air Force, the family moved to Scobey, and Wes went to work on Hanrahan Farms with his in-laws.

He was constantly planning how bigger, more efficient equipment could be utilized. He was excited by the prospect of

using new technology in the daily operations and was officially in charge of the SeedHawk. Wes remained a key part of the farm and the family after he and Cathi divorced.

His friends and family enjoyed his quirky sense of humor, which he passed on to his children.

Wes was active in his church and lived his faith. His strong moral character was very evident to anyone who spent time with him.

He was generous with his time and talents, whether it was helping a neighbor with home improvements or investing

in the youth through the Boy Scouts program. He enjoyed fishing, farming, snowmobiling and hunting and was a lifetime member of the NRA. He was also involved in the Color Guard and the volunteer fire department.

Wes is survived by his parents, Bill and RuthAnn Robson of Linden; his children Walker of MSU Bozeman and Cortni of Scobey; brother Keith (Lori) Robson of Linden; grandmother Coleen Robson of Colfax; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews along with his special Montana family.

a stenographic course at Capital City Commercial College in Des Moines before entering Drake University as an art major. She received her B.A. in art from Iowa State Teachers College (UNI), with minors in business and English.

After teaching art in Hampton, Mary chose the University of Iowa for her M.A. in art education in 1955. Her creative thesis was an oil painting and her written thesis, about publicizing school art programs, was published in a Midwest magazine for school art educators. While at Iowa, she studied with painter Stuart Edie and master printmaker Mauricio Lasansky.

She then continued a 25 year career in elementary art teaching at Cedar Falls and Newton.

From 1977 until her retirement in 1991, Mary worked for the State Historical Society of Iowa in Des Moines.

She then volunteered there and at the Des

Moines Art Center for another 17 years. She was a member of Delta Kappa Gamma Society, the National Education Association, Newton Woman’s Club, Jasper County Historical Society and the Arts Connection of Jasper County.

Mary created and exhibited personal artwork for more than 60 years, and enjoyed participation in juried art exhibits and fairs, including showing her linoleum block prints, watercolors, drawings and oil paintings at the Des Moines Art Center, Iowa State Fair, Dairy Cattle Congress, Iowa Watercolor Society and Art in the Park. She was a signature member of the Iowa Watercolor Society and chaired a Christmas Gallery Art show at First Methodist Church for many years. Her reputation as a professional artist blossomed in her later years as she was invited to display her art at locations as varied as

Plymouth Congregational Church in Des Moines, the Mason City and Newton Public Libraries, and local coffee shops in Newton and Grinnell.

Surviving are her nephew Keith Shostrom of Overland Park, Kan.; niece Karen (Mark) Shostrom Lehmann of Waverly; brother-inlaw’s sister, Lois Kerr of Des Moines; and great-nephews Kirk Lehmann of Sioux City and Erik (Dana) Lehmann and children Owen and June Louise of Iowa City. Mary was preceded in death by her parents; her sister Sarah; and her brotherin-law Earl Shostrom.

Memorials may be directed to First United Methodist Church or to the Centre for Arts and Artists in Newton.

Mary would want it to be stressed that the arts and creativity should play an important part of everyone’s life, and that creating art can make the world a better place.

Small investment in smoke alarms reaps big benefits

DEAR ABBY: Printing this letter could save some lives — maybe even your own.

In the United States, eight people die every day (on average) in house fires. Tragically, about half of these deaths could have been prevented with an inexpensive device that takes just a few minutes to install and costs only a few dollars to maintain.

I’m talking about smoke alarms.

Smoke alarms are the cheapest life insurance money can buy. They are one of the most successful public health innovations in history, but 71 percent of smoke alarms that failed to operate during the last year had missing, disconnected or dead batteries.

For the 28th year, the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) is proud to partner with Energizer, the manufacturer of batteries, flashlights and lanterns, in the Change Your Clock Change Your Battery program.

Together, we’re asking your readers to make sure they have working smoke alarms that have been installed correctly, and to test their existing batteries — or install fresh ones — in conjunction with the end of daylight saving time on Sunday, Nov. 1.

In a fire, seconds count. A working smoke alarm can literally mean the difference between life and death. This program ensures that residents will have a WORKING smoke alarm, giving them and their families the critical early warning needed to escape a fire.

That precious time also helps to protect firefighters, reducing the likelihood they’ll have to enter a burning home to rescue someone trapped inside.

Learn more about the program by visiting energizer.com/firesafety or the IAFC at iafc.org. Readers should also check with their local fire departments because many of them offer discounted or free programs to install working smoke alarms in low-income areas in their communities. Thanks, Abby.

— FIRE CHIEF RHODA MAE

KERR, IAFC PRESIDENT AND CHAIR OF THE BOARD DEAR CHIEF KERR: I’m pleased to publicize your lifesaving effort.

Readers, daylight saving time is also lifesaving time. Changing and testing the batteries in your smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors when setting the clocks back can save your lives and the lives of the people you love.

Every family should also have a fire safety evacuation plan and practice it so that everyone is prepared to evacuate should an emergency occur. A great start to establishing that safety plan is to recognize that this is the ideal time to buy and install those batteries.

DEAR ABBY: My husband was going to a meeting at the home of a fellow temple member. Because I was baking for a cookie exchange and had plenty available, I sent a lovely plate of cookies with him. The hostess thanked him, but didn’t serve them. I’m fine with that. But as he was leaving, she presented him with the still-wrapped plate and said she “couldn’t possibly” accept them. Is it me, or is that odd? — COOKIE BAKER DEAR COOKIE BAKER: Yes, I think it’s odd — unless the hostess or someone attending the meeting had a severe allergy to an ingredient that might have been in the cookies, such as nuts. While it was not unusual (or rude) to not use the gift of food in the meeting, it WAS odd to return it.

GLENWOOD — A man who police say called for “vigilante justice” after a brawl and shooting in southwest Iowa no longer faces charges. Prosecutors say the two weapons charges against 20-year-old Liam Whitehouse were dropped because evidence found in his vehicle likely wouldn’t hold up in court. Authorities say Whitehouse made a suspicious Facebook post calling for “vigilante justice” after the Sept. 27 incident outside the home of a Glenwood school principal, Richard Hutchinson.

Light agenda on tap for Newton City Council Monday Council to consider 28E agreement with Newton schools

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A light agenda will greet the Newton City Council at its meeting Monday. One item up for approval is a 28E agreement with the Newton Community School District.

In the past, the City of Newton and the Newton Community School District have shared the use and maintenance costs of several athletic facilities, often with verbal agreements, city administrator Bob Knabel said in his council report. It was decided it would be beneficial for both the city and school district to have a written

agreement when utilizing tax dollars on property owned by others.

The 28E agreement outlines the shared facilities and each party’s financial and maintenance responsibilities.

At Eversman Field in Woodland Park, the school district will maintain the fence (including the top cover), the area inside the fence, the dugouts, batting cages, scoreboard, lights, electricity for the lights, concession stand and the storage building located south of the park maintenance/restroom building. The city will maintain the parking area and access to the bleachers, including installing a concrete pad beneath the bleachers.

As previously agreed, for the tennis courts at Aurora Park, each party was to pay for

File Photo One of the items on Monday’s Newton City Council agenda is a resolution to approve a 28E agreement between the city and the Newton Community School District for use of Maytag Pool and a few other city facilities.

50 percent of the cost of pavement overlays, applications of colored surface and the fences surround the court.

Barnstorming against bullying

The city will continue to maintain the section of the hike and bike trail known as the Children’s Forest is located

on school property south and west of the high school.

Newton school district golf teams may use the Westwood Golf Course during the golf season at a cost of $1 per round. The school and Westwood golf professional will work together to accommodate tee times for both the golf team and public golf patrons.

The school may also use the golf course for one scheduled cross country meet per year at no charge.

Maytag Pool is allowed for the use of the school’s athletic teams when the pool is not open. It can be used with at no charge as long as they provide a lifeguard that has been trained at the pool.

Brooks/Daily News Two members of the coaching staff for the Iowa Barnstormers — on the left is Barnstormers coach Joe Brannen and on the right is defensive coordinator Jason Simpson — came to Woodrow Wilson Elementary School’s quarterly awards assembly Thursday to deliver some positive messages related to October being Anti-Bullying Month.

Authorities: Video shows Iowa bus driver assaulting 15-year-old student JOHNSTON (AP) — A school bus driver in central Iowa was arrested Thursday on charges that he assaulted a student on a packed bus, an incident that authorities say other riders recorded on their cellphones.

Robert Scarbrough, 60, is accused of attacking a 15-year-old boy as students from a school district in the Des Moines suburb of Johnston watched. Police say the department received video of the Thursday incident and is aware of a second circulating online.

One video shows students yelling at a man

who appears to hit a student at the back of the bus. Riders can be heard gasping as the student is struck. At one point, at least one student is visibly upset and yells at the man to stop. The man responds by pointing at the yelling student and telling him to be quiet.

Johnston Police Department Lt. Lynn Aswegan said the 15-yearold who was hit has a mental disability. An investigation determined the assault happened after the driver gave the student instructions on a seat assignment and the student responded with

an inflammatory comment, Aswegan said.

The teen was treated in an ambulance but he was not transported for further medical care, according to the Johnston Community School District.

The district said in a statement that “it appears as though the driver made a series of poor choices regarding how to handle the student’s behavior.”

Scarbrough, of West Des Moines, was arrested after some students left the bus and told a nearby sheriff ’s deputy about the incident, according to Aswegan.

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

Racing, Royals roll around in my head

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Putting the Aquagirl twist on regional diving competition Thursday at Fort Dodge are NCMP’s sophomore Morgan Eide, left, and freshman Alivia Hoffman, right, as they perform in the 11-dive event. Eide claimed second in the Fort Dodge regional and Hoffman earned the sixthplace medal. Two regionals — Fort Dodge and Indianola — were held at Fort Dodge High School’s pool.

NCMP’s Eide, Hoffman medal at regional; Eide qualifies for state meet

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News FORT DODGE — Morgann Eide became the first NCMP diver to qualify for the state meet since 2011.

The sophomore piled up 384.95 points in the 11-dive regional competition at Fort Dodge Thursday to take second place.

More important, Eide’s total was seventh-best across the state following the six regional champions. Each regional champion automatically qualifies for the IGHSAU state meet Nov. 6 in

Marshalltown. The state’s next best 24 scores fill the state meet’s 30 slots.

“It was great to have a teammate this year at regionals,” Eide said. She competed in the 2014 regional as the first NCMP diving competitor since 2011. She finished fifth in the regional a year ago.

Eide and Alivia Hoffman turned in solid performances as both claimed regional medals placing in the top six. Hoffman, a freshman, in her first regional competition scored 293.05 points for sixth. Boone’s Kennedy Bass

finished 24.55 points ahead of Eide with a final score of 419.50.

Divers from two regionals competed at Fort Dodge High’s swimming pool Thursday. Indianola’s regional champion was Jayna Misra of Ames with a score of 453.85. Misra and Bass were diving back-to-back in the event, and they were backand-forth as leaders early.

Misra pushed out to lead all divers from the fifth dive on.

Eide set a new NCMP record with a score of 402.20 in the 11-dive competition at the North Central Iowa Con-

ference meet at Grinnell Oct. 24. The previous NCMP 11dive top score was 401.10.

Eide finished third at the conference meet and Hoffman was fourth.

“Morgann had a much stronger regional meet than last year. Her conference meet was better overall, but she had top scores on several individual dives tonight,” NCMP Diving Coach Kelly Rose said. “She was very consistent in her first five dives.

She kept her composure and had clean and sharp dives.”

Mustangs halt elimination with fifth-set rally

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News CHARITON — A quartet of Prairie City-Monroe seniors were two points from seeing their high school volleyball careers end Thursday night.

Chariton had jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the fifth and final set and went up 13-9 on a hitting error by the Mustangs.

But Ashley Van Gorp and company just weren’t ready to be done.

Scoring seven of the set’s final eight points, PCM went from near elimination to jubilation as the Mustangs rallied from two sets to one down to knock out Chariton 25-20, 20-25, 21-25, 2520, 16-14 on the Chargers’ home floor during Class 3A Region 3 semifinal action.

The key for PCM, according to Van Gorp, was just continuing to believe that a rally was possible.

“It was so exciting,” Van Gorp said. “When we went to the huddle in the timeout, we just kept cheering each

other on, and we kept believing that we could still pull it out. We knew we could do it.”

The come-from-behind victory pushes the Mustangs (10-26) into Tuesday’s regional final where they will challenge No. 4 Nevada in Newton. The Cubs (29-9) dispatched North Polk in four sets on Thursday and swept PCM in Monroe back on Oct. 8.

The Mustangs will take a bit of momentum with them into match. They were very close to turning in the uniform against the Chargers but refused to quit and it paid off.

“It feels completely awesome,” said Van Gorp, who had eight kills, 18 digs and 15 aces in Monday’s regional quarterfinal win over Saydel.

“As a senior, this has been by far the best season that I have had, and it’s just so much fun playing with these girls. We are all so supportive of each other, and we have each other’s backs.”

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior Kayla Jennings runs down a ball before it falls out of bounds during Class 3A Region 3 semifinal action in Chariton on Thursday. The Mustangs rallied from a two sets to one deficit and eliminated the Chargers in five sets.

Several things are flying around in my mind this week, so bear with me.

Big news came roaring out of Iowa Speedway this week.

The major race series — NASCAR Xfinity, NASCAR Camping World Truck and IndyCar By Jocelyn — which run Sheets at the New- Newton Daily ton track anNews nounced their Sports Editor commitment to Iowa Speedway for events in 2016.

It is the news Iowa racing fans have been clamoring for since the conclusion of the 2015 racing season at Speedway July 31. Two questions were constantly asked of Iowa Speedway President Jimmy Small and his staff — what’s the 2016 schedule and when is a NASCAR Sprint Cup race coming to Iowa?

Sprint Cup action at the Newton track has not been on the table for NASCAR, even after NASCAR purchased Iowa Speedway in 2013. After July’s Xfinity Series U.S. Cellular 250, there was a lot of social media action from Sprint Cup drivers and others, asking the question. Small quickly halted the talk, saying, “It is not being discussed. I’ve never had a single conversation alluding to that possibility.”

Now, the big races are set for Iowa Speedway’s 2016 season. I’m not a NASCAR fan, but I got a bit excited about the pairing of the truck race and Xfinity race in June.

That’s big.

You know what else is big?

There is no Sprint Cup race that weekend — June 18-19 — which means it’s possible Iowa Speedway’s opening weekend could draw some of the Sprint Cup drivers. They could choose to compete or just hangout at the Speedway.

Growing up, the Indianapolis 500 was “THE” race everyone talked about. It was on our television at home on Memorial Day Weekend. We weren’t a family to just sit and watch it. We’d be in and out of the house, sitting down to eat a late lunch or some activity and the race was in the background. We usually watched the final few laps.

So, I have more of a history with the IndyCar racing.

Quite honestly, I don’t follow racing much, but to see IndyCar racing up close and personal has been an experience for me. Not to say, learning and covering NASCAR racing hasn’t been a solid experience for me here. Those connected with Iowa Speedway, NASCAR and IndyCar have been great to this novice racing reporter.

Next up in a news slot in my mind is the Kansas City Royals. Two we got. Two we need.

A week ago, I was thankful for rain in Kansas City. It created a rain delay in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series. I finished up with the Newton High football game and raced home.

While I was working on the football game stories for our website, the ALCS resumed.

I was fortunate to see my Royals capture their second straight American League Championship. They downed PRESSBOX | 2B

Even when they look sluggish, Brady and the New England Patriots still dominate.

Brady threw for 356 yards and four touchdowns — two to Julian Edelman — and the Patriots beat the Miami Dolphins 36-7 on Thursday night to become the first of the NFL’s five unbeaten teams to reach seven wins.

Continued from Page 1B Toronto’s Blue Jays in the ALCS, bringing back memories of the 1985 World Series run.

Now, it is the 2015 World Series. Wow, is about all I can say right now. I stayed up and witnessed Kansas City win Game 1 in 14 innings. Wednesday’s Game 2 was tough for me because I was covering Lynnville-Sully’s playoff football game in Pekin. I was able to check the score a couple of times, but the last time I did the Royals were down 0-1.

My phone was dying and the AM radio station in the car was hard to understand through the static. I was surprised when my cell phone rang. It was my sister calling to celebrate the Royals’ 7-1 win.

There’s still a lot of baseball to be played. The New York Mets are good, and they are not going to just fold. The next three games are in New York in front of their fans.

Hang on for a wild ride.

NCMP: Eide becomes first diver to qualify for state since 2011 Continued from Page 1B Hoffman also kept her composure after she slipped on the diving board when executing a dive.

Rose said other divers had complained the diving board was a bit slippery.

“Alivia had a great conference meet and she kept that momentum going in her regional diving,” Rose said. “After she slipped, she came back and finished strong. Alivia had a great first year.”

Hoffman said she had fun competing in her first regional meet against good competition. She said she has a tumbling background, which helped her decide to become a diver for the NCMP team.

“I was pleased with the way

I dove tonight. I really enjoyed the whole season,” Hoffman said.

Eide pointed to having more practice time on the diving board to her stronger season this year. She said Rose really helped her improve on her dives since last year.

“I was very pleased with how I did tonight. It was a lot better than expected. I’m hoping to qualify for state. Now, it’s about getting better for next year,” Eide said.

“I’ve had great support from my family, teammates and coaches. I really have enjoyed Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News getting closer to my teamOn the regional diving podium are NCMP’s Morgan Eide, third from mates and competitors.”

right, and Alivia Hoffman, far right, for second and sixth place, respectively, in the Fort Dodge regional Thursday. Kennedey Bass of Boone was the regional winner. Eide’s runner-up finish though was good enough to clinch a berth in the state meet. She is the first NCMP diver to advance to state since 2011.

Mustangs Continued from Page 1B The Mustangs had to rally in the opening set, too. Chariton jumped out to a 9-4 lead, but strong play by junior Katie VandeWall at the net helped PCM rally.

VandeWall blasted a kill to tie the set up at 15-all. It remained close until PCM scored six of the final seven points to win by five.

Junior Mackenzie Messick had a block and two aces during that stretch.

“We have been running a lot of extra practices of just varsity only,” Ehn said. “My attention is not divided anymore because the regular season is over so we have been working on some things in practice that are helping us right now.

“I’ve made a lot of little tweaks in the sets and passes, and it’s paying off.”

Like the opener, neither team could gain much of an advantage in the second set.

There were 11 ties before the Chargers (10-18) scored seven of the final nine points to even the match at one set apiece.

Kayla Jennings got the Mustangs out to a 4-0 lead in set three following back-toback aces.

Chariton rallied to take a 9-8 lead when Carlie Schaeffer served up an ace of her own.

The Chargers lead grew to 14-10 when Aubrie Richards served up an ace and blasted a kill on consecutive points.

That was enough to keep the home team in front the rest of the way.

Facing elimination, the Mustangs fell behind 12-8 in the fourth set. Needing a winter sports. There are several area team still involved in postseason play.

Newton High’s girls are seeing the passing of the torch in cross country Saturday. Senior Grace Coen runs in her fourth consecutive state cross country meet while freshman Rachel Rhoads in her first. We have runners from Lynnville-Sully, Colfax-Mingo, CMB and PCM competing at Fort Dodge in the state meet also.

The Newton Daily News sports staff will be spending a lot of time in Fort Dodge this weekend. I’m there for the regional girls’ diving and swimming meet with NCMP’s Aquagirls. The diving was Thursday and the swimming events are Saturday.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Members of the Prairie City-Monroe volleyball team celebrate one of its final points in the fifth and final set of the Mustangs’ come-from-behind victory over Chariton on Thursday. Pictured in the background is Chariton libero Ashley Storm.

rally, freshman Avery Stock, Van Gorp and junior Kaylee Townsend delivered kills in consecutive points, and another Townsend tip triggered a 6-0 run that gave PCM a 1713 lead.

Chariton rallied to take a 19-18 lead following two straight aces by Carley Arnold, but VandeWall blasted three kills in the final five points to help PCM pull away from a 20-all tie.

Also in that final 5-0 stretch was a kill by junior

Tatum Nearmyer and an ace by sophomore Regan Olson.

Not many teams find a way to rally from a 4-0 deficit in a fifth and final set. And fewer are able to fight through a 13-9 hole.

Thanks to a strong final stretch by Townsend, the Mustangs were able to pull off the thrilling come-frombehind win.

Townsend didn’t play her best volleyball for most of the match, but regrouped in the final set to score three

straight points with her squad down 13-11.

“Sometimes she gets focused on what she’s doing wrong,” Ehn said. “I had to help her reset and tell her again what she does well. She took her time and executed better in that last set.”

Things will get much tougher in the regional final against Nevada.

The Cubs reached the semifinals of last year’s state tournament and have yet to lose to a Heart of Iowa Conference rival this season. Six of their nine losses have come against 5A programs.

“We need to be dead on with everything. We need to have great passes, amazing sets and smashing hits over the net every single time,” Ehn said. “We can’t let any balls hit the floor. We need to play hard and be prepared for their big hitter (Kati Cassabaum). She’s a strong player.”

The Mustangs played Thursday’s match against Chariton without one of their best hitters. Freshman Maddie Samson is currently attending the National Future Farmers of America Convention but is expected to be back for Tuesday’s regional final.

However, Ehn is not sure Samson will be ready for action against the Cubs.

“She’ll be back, but she will not have touched a ball for six days so she is going to have to have a really good practice on Monday and show me that she’s back to where she needs to be,” Ehn said.

Cyclones seeking Big 12 title and more in ‘15-16 AMES (AP) — Iowa State is more talented than it has ever been.

Nothing short of a Big 12 title and a long run through March will satisfy a fan base hungry to see new coach Steve Prohm deliver.

The Cyclones return four starters — including national player of the year candidate Georges Niang — from the team that won a second straight Big 12 tournament title in 2014-15.

B e y o n d Niang, the Cyclones bring back center Jameel McKay, last year’s league defensive player of the year, and standout point guard Monte Morris.

Shooting guard Naz Mitrou-Long is among the nation’s best from 3-point range.

“Obviously, we have big dreams, big goals, big aspirations of winning Big 12 championships and making a great postseason run,” said Prohm, who took over for Fred Hoiberg in May. The Cyclones aren’t perfect, though.

Iowa State lost its focus at

times defensively last season, and it’ll have to prove it can respond to last year’s stunning loss to UAB in the NCAA Tournament.

Here are some of the story lines to follow as Iowa State prepares for the most anticipated season in school history: Niang Time With Frank Kaminsky gone at Wisconsin, Niang, who averaged 15.3 points, 5.4 rebounds and 3.4 assists in 201415, might be the toughest matchup for opposing defenses in the country.

The 6-foot-8 senior has a litany of post moves, and he’s got a scorer’s knack for getting the ball in the basket from tough angles. Niang also is a very good outside shooter, and he’s more than willing to pass the ball if opponents try to play him tight on the perimeter.

But defensively, Niang still has work to do.

“I do want to challenge him on the defensive end to be a better rebounder,” Prohm said.

McKay’s The Man What was remarkable about McKay’s Big 12 defen-

sive honor last season was that he made just 12 starts. McKay led the Cyclones with 7.6 rebounds and 2.4 blocks per game, and he shot 58 percent from the field. In fact, all the hype with Niang has obscured the fact that McKay is perhaps just as important to the Cyclones.

Point Taken Prohm’s best teams at Murray State always featured a point guard who could score, and he’ll start his Iowa State career with a good one in Morris. Now a junior, Morris has led the nation in assist-to-turnover ratio two years running, and his 5.2 assists per game last season led the Big 12. Morris also scored nearly 12 points a game — a number that could easily go up this season.

Dooley Doing It Prohm seems to have taken to 6-6 forward Abdel Nader, nicknaming him “Dooley” and awarding him a tentative spot in the starting lineup.

Nader, now a senior, showed a knack for coming through as a reserve last season. If Nader continues to improve, Iowa State’s starting five should be as complete as there is in the country.

Astrograph

The ghosts and goblins are out early this year, and tonight will be nearly as festive as tomorrow night under the friendly, curious Gemini moon. A trine of the spooky Scorpio sun and imaginative Neptune in Pisces bodes well for those trying to come up with last-minute costumes. The night will have many creative and conversational highlights.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 30). You refuse to let anything hold you back. You’ll see the opportunities, overcome the obstacles and gather a group of supportive souls along the way. Love is prime on your agenda, and improvements in

how you see yourself accompany the turn of the year.

Financial breakthroughs come in November, December and May. Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 28, 1, 19, 44 and 35.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Your choices are likely to reflect the great ambition that is your heart’s desire. Know that what you want doesn’t have to come at the expense of other things that are important to your well-being.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The requests coming your way are not all as important or feasible as those making them as-

sume. Lucky for them, you are very good at filtering what you hear, knowing what’s essential and prioritizing accordingly.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You can be counted on in a crunch, and that’s one thing people have come to know you for. It explains the flurry of activity today. It’s good that people trust you and need you.

It’s making you stronger.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

There’s a certain person you want to make happy, but you haven’t quite hit on the magic combination for doing so. Too much experimentation in this regard is not advised. At this point, you’re better off just to ask.

Send letter of application, photocopies of graduate school transcripts, a statement of teaching philosophy, teaching evaluation summaries, current vita, and three letters of reference to Dr. Barbara Byrne, Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of the Faculty, Buena Vista University, 610 West Fourth Street, Storm Lake, IA, 50588 or e-mail to facultyhire@bvu.edu. Review of complete applications will begin on December 1, 2015 and continue until the positions are filled. These positions will begin August 1, 2016. Buena Vista University especially welcomes applications from individuals who will contribute to any aspect of the university’s diversity.

A background check will be conducted on the final candidate.

Buena Vista University is an Equal Opportunity/Americans with Disabilities Act/Smoke-Free Employer.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Relationships need on-site care.

Insecurity melts as soon as you meet face to face. So save all of your important communication and your best stories for when you’re physically in the same room.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

People will ask you things that, quite simply, are not their business. Whether you want them to know is up to you. Once you open the door, you’ll set a precedent. It’s just something to keep in mind.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Rumination is a dangerous habit that must be broken in order for your happiness to return. Luckily, today it won’t take much to distract yourself from negative

mental cycles.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You can’t force people to love or not to love. Love won’t be pushed around. It does its own thing. Love will flaunt its autonomous nature at you. You’d be foolish to argue with that.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just when you thought you were dealing with mature adults, someone calls “dibs” and gets a prime position that really should have gone to you.

No matter. Where you land will be even better.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Put your question into a search engine, and viable, helpful options will come up. Just know that study can only take

you so far. To get to your goal, you’ll need real-life application, trial and error. Especially error.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You’ll follow your heart, your gut, your itch to find the work you love. You won’t find it today, but you’re getting warmer.

Read the clues. Keep track of how different tasks make you feel.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

It’s fun to pretend you’re someone else, and in a weird way, that leads to learning more about who you really are.

You’ll be a master of humor and social graces tonight.
