They’ve all signed a piece of memorabilia that will be available for purchase at the upcoming Jasper County United Way Autograph and Experience Auction. The event begins at 7 p.m.

Saturday at Fore Seasons Golf, 6232 Highway S74 S. in Newton. Doors open at 6 p.m.

There will be items available for just about everyone — from sports collectors to fans of television, movies, music, politics and even astronauts.

More than 200 autographs and memorabilia pieces will be silent

and live auctioned including autographed items from Derek Jeter, Jimmy Carter, Emmitt Smith, Bubba Watson, Arnold Palmer, Condoleeza Rice, Jimmy Smits, Reba McEntire, Dick Butkus, Kurt Warner, Channing Tatium, a spacial set of mini helmets signed

by Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning, and many others.

“There isn’t anything like it,” JCUW Executive Director and auction event organizer Jessica Lowe said. “It’s fun to hear how people connect with the pieces personally. People buy them for Christmas presents, or to add to their own collection, or to support the agencies. It’s just a really fun, unique evening.”

New to the auction is the addition of experiences. Sen. Chaz Allen donated a tour of the Iowa

Presidential candidate Paul against use of eminent domain for pipeline project

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Newton resident Robert Swan, center, received a Purple Heart, a Bronze Star and other honors Friday from U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Newton. In attendance were Swan’s wife, Mary, right, along with Swan’s family, Jasper County Veterans Affairs Director Chris Chartier and Treasurer Doug Bishop, Rep. Dan Kelley and Newton Mayor Mike Hansen and Sen. Chaz Allen. Swan thanked Loebsack for his help in getting the Purple Heart and other honors, some of which were issued 45 years ago, but never actually delivered to him.

REASNOR — Saturday morning Republican presidential candidate Sen. Rand Paul (RKY ) visited with farmers at VanGorp Farm in Reasnor, privately owned land that Dakota Access hopes to use eminent domain to place the Bakken oil pipeline.

Paul voiced his opposition to the project during the meet and greet.

Paul arrived at the farm shortly after 9 a.m. where local landowners spoke with the senator about the effects of the project.

“They are cutting across another farm of ours that has the water access 40 acres away from the main pasture and the main feed for the summer,” Bryce VanGorp said. “They are cutting through our alley and they are shutting off either my feed or my water source over on that farm during however long that pipe is open.”

The pipeline would go straight through VanGorp’s farm. Van-

Gorp said that’s not the main issue for him but having to cut off either source of feed or water for his cows during a lengthy period of time would prove difficult.

US stocks climb in early trading, led by health care

Alex Olp/Daily News Owner of Prairie City’s Uptown restaurant Jeff Brouwer, who is dressed up as a hippie during Saturday’s halloween costume night, mingles with customers from behind his bar. Brouwer shares ownership of the bar with his wife, Shelly, and have shown interest in eventually selling the business.

Prairie City’s UpTown for sale, but still open for business

By Mike Mendenhall Prairie City News PRAIRIE CITY — Jeff Brouwer sat the end of the bar Friday afternoon at UpTown Restaurant and Lounge in Prairie City with a deep blue coffee mug — still wearing his apron from the earlier lunchtime rush.

The lunch hour is a key time for the downtown Prairie City businesses and still fills the booths with other local businessmen and women, passersby and is a gathering place for locals. New developments in Jeff and wife, Shelley, personal lives and have brought the couple to sell the restaurant/bar, which has become much more than a local watering hole.

The Brouwers moved their eldest son and daughter-in-law Ryan and Brittany Brouwer to Florida in July and with the prospects of grandchildren likely, the popular business owners have decided to move south.

“It was a hard decision because we’ve gotten to know so many of our customers,” Jeff Brouwer said.

“We’ve made a lot of friends and great acquaintances. It’s just like life itself, you have a lot of highs and lows and you cannot appreciate the highs without the lows.”

The restaurant and pub even acknowledged rumors of its closure on its official Facebook page.

Although it is for sale, Jeff Brouwer wants to assure their customers UpTown’s doors are still wide open and it’s “business as usual” around the centerpiece of the Prairie City square.

Although the Brouwers are looking for a prospective buyer, in the meantime UpTown is still

their livelihood, and the restaurant owners have not forgotten the pub is an integral part of Prairie City life and the Prairie City economy. Jeff Brouwer said it’s important that UpTown remain a restaurant, which he sees as a need on the square. This will be a stipulation, he said, for any buyer, and the family owners have no particular time frame for sale.

UpTown was originally opened as Happy Endings in 2007 by Jeff Brouwer’s parents John and Janice Brouwer. Prior to its transformation into a restaurant and pub, the space was Walter’s Furniture Store. Jeff Brouwer said UpTown began with “absolutely no kitchen,” but his mother improvised and still provided a small menu.

Before his father died, John Brouwer installed a kitchen and built equity as well as an identity for the business.

After John Brouwer’s death, Happy Endings closed for six months. But with the lights dark, the restaurant was not producing revenue for Janice Brouwer, so Jeff and Shelley decided to sell a bar they owned and operated in Des Moines and help reopen the Prairie City establishment. Prior to the 2010 Prairie Days, Jeff Brouwer said he received a phone call from then-mayor Max Keuning who needed a venue on the square which could serve food during the town celebration.

“I decided to buy this from mom, keep it in the family and reopen,” Brouwer said. “I did what I could, got it all cleaned up and ready to go by Prairie Days.

We started off with a real small menu with just my family and a couple of employees. But we’ve expanded the menu.”

UpTown continues to support the community. Nov. 5, UpTown will host a fundraiser from 5-9 p.m. for Prairie City-Monroe High School’s After Prom Bash.

Members of the 2016 senior class will serve food and 10 percent of all sales and all tips earned will go to support this school year’s postprom.

In October, UpTown began Saturday night trivia which is catching on. Jeff Brouwer said the evenings are filled with questions ranging from sports, movies and politics beginning at 7 p.m. and averages 30 people with teams from one to 10.

“When we started we were kind of a lounge that served food, and over the course of the years we’ve morphed into a restaurant which serves alcohol to customers who would like it with their meal. And we’re still trying to do more,” Jeff Brouwer said.

Randy Moore is the president and co-owner of Moore Machining and Manufacturing in rural Prairie City and has been a customer of UpTown since Jeff and Shelly Brouwer took over operations. Moore brings clients to the pub for lunch meetings, but UpTown is also a place for him unwind — whether it’s a quiet lunch or a night out with his pub trivia team “The Enforcers.”

“I like the idea that you feel like you’re home here,” Moore said as he finished lunch Friday.

“I’m sitting in here paying bills.

I’m not worried about somebody hacking me. I find time to myself here.”

DuPont to open $225M cellulosic ethanol plant NEVADA (AP) — DuPont is announcing the opening of an ethanol plant that will make the fuel additive from cornstalks, leaves and cobs instead of the grain itself.

The $225 million refinery in central Iowa is touted as the world’s largest cellulosic ethanol plant, which is designed to make 30 million gallons annually once it’s in full production next year.

Friday’s opening of the plant comes at a challenging time for the ethanol industry, which has been battling the petroleum industry over how much ethanol the government will require to be used in the nation’s automotive gas supply.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is scheduled to come up with its final recommendations next month after proposing to cut the renewable fuel standard from levels Congress set earlier.

Kelley attends Clean Water Interstate Conference Newton Daily News ​Rep. Dan Kelley joined fellow Iowa and Minnesota legislators Sept. 21-23 to seek clean water solutions at a “Clean Water/Soil Health Tour,” hosted by the University of Minnesota’s Water Resource Center.

“Finding solutions to our ever growing need for clean water is not a unique problem to Iowa,” said Kelley, a member of the Iowa House Agriculture committee and Environmental Protection committee. “Through this interstate meeting we have made connections with Minnesota that might lead to further collaboration between our states and others in the future.”

During the conference, the University of Minnesota’s Water Resources Center discussed water quality and soil conservation policies, incentives, partnerships and practices in the state. The delegation was joined by other conservation advocates, including representatives of some of Iowa’s watershed management authorities and leaders of water quality initiative demonstration projects.

State Rep. Chuck Isenhart (D-Dubuque), ranking member on the House Environmental Protection Committee, organized the meeting with grant support from the McKnight Foundation and the Mississippi River Museum and Aquarium.

Newton Daily News Editor Abigail Pelzer said the aim of the community forum is to raise awareness and understanding about the impact of mental health in the community. When Burdess, the recently hired chief, identified mental health problems as one of the largest issues impacting Newton, she said

she felt a call to action.

“The role of a newspaper is not only to provide quality news, it is to act as a community leader,” Pelzer said. “I’m grateful for the opportunity to partner with the NPD — and an excellent panel — to get this conversation started and begin looking for.”

Public input will be encouraged. There will be a list of pre-written questions asked of various panelists as starting points, but Pelzer and Burdess will also review and consider all written questions. Attendees

are asked to focus on mental-health resources and procedures when forming questions.

The event also comes on the heels of a three-part Newton Daily News series on mental-health resource shortage.

Burdess said this type of meeting is part of a greater outreach mission that’s a critical component of helping the public see law enforcement as a community partner, rather than an adversary.

Paul Continued from Page 1A “Government shouldn’t take private property from one property owner and give it to another property owner,” Paul said. “There are times when you have to use eminent domain for roads and things like that. But for this it’s going to another private property owner.”

In fact, Paul said his viewpoint on this issue is one of the biggest disagreements he has with one of the front-running Republican presidential candidates, Donald

Trump.

“Trump is for taking property through eminent domain. In fact, that is what he did to build his casinos,” Paul said.

“He would take people’s property to build parking lots. So I don’t think that should happen.”

It’s a controversial issue across the country, including in the senator’s home state of Kentucky.

Paul referred to the 2005 case Kelo v. City of New London in which the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the use of eminent domain to transfer land from one private property owner to another and said he a majority

of states then passed laws in opposition to the ruling.

“Forty states actually passed laws saying it can’t be done,” Paul said.

“Almost all of the states came back passing legislation that said property cannot be taken from a private property owner and given to another private property owner. So I think it would be interesting to look at the state legislative law.”

But due to certain applications under Iowa law the utilities board has the right to rule one way or the other on the issue.

Paul visited with the Van Gorp’s for half an

hour before continuing his weekend tour to Des Moines at the Iowa State Fairgrounds and CDS Global Corporate Headquarters. But before Paul visited Reasnor, he participated in a round table discussion at Jasper County Farm Bureau in Newton.

Paul focused on the national debt issue during his introduction and said the decisions being made by both parties is the reason for a climbing debt.

Paul said. “Not because I was happy with Democrats, I was unhappy with my own party. I knew the Democrats were big spenders and they were going to spin us into oblivion. And they’ll tell you that. They’re not for a balanced budget.”

He said the problem with his own party is that they will vote for a balanced budget amendment but won’t vote for a budget that balances.

The Kentucky senator is also disgusted with the

amount of funds being spent in foreign countries — including $1 trillion in Iraq, he said.

“Both parties are set in their ways and both have sacred cows,” Paul said.

“The right wants more military spending and left wants more domestic welfare spending. They get together and they both spend more money.

That’s why we’re in this fix.”

Fear On Halloween, what did you fear?

I fear fear itself because w h e n we are afraid, we willingly g i v e a w a y our freedoms.

By John Stossel

Bakken pipeline brings outdated energy into Iowa’s future Newton Daily News Editorial The Iowa Utilities Board will begin hearing public comments Nov. 12 at the Boone County Fairgrounds in the final public process to determine if Dakota Access, LLC will be allowed the use of eminent domain to build a 343.43mile crude oil pipeline through 18 Iowa counties. If approved, it would be one segment of a larger 1,134-mile pipeline extending from the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota to a hub and refineries in Patoka, Ill. To date, Dakota Access and its Texas-based parent company Energy Transfer Partners have received voluntary easements from roughly 40 percent of Iowa landowners who would be affected by the pipeline’s construction — although Dakota Access claims the number is closer to 60 percent.

IUB’s three members need to determine if it’s good for Iowa to require 40 to 60 percent of the farmers and landowners along the pipeline route to concede their land to Dakota Access with only a few temporary jobs and a small amount of property tax revenue at stake while not receiving the benefit of the power generated from the oil.

Iowa already has well documented and highly debated water quality issues from farm nitrate runoff. Do Iowa citizens want to risk the potential environmental devastation of an oil spill?

During a mandatory county-level public hearing last year in Newton, representatives from ETP detailed security measures that would be built in to the pipeline to mitigate a leak. A 24-hour monitoring center will be able to detect small pressure changes in the pipeline — which is slated to carry 570,00 barrels of oil per day — indicating a possible leak.

The State of Iowa mandates an emergency responder be within

Our View

a 60 minute drive of any point of the pipeline. When crude oil is leaking into ground water and running through Iowa’s extensive agricultural drainage tile system, one hour is just too long.

Leaks do happen. In 2010, the Enbridge oil spill near Kalamazoo, Mich. dumped 843,000 gallons of crude oil into Talmadge Creek only 35 miles from the Kalamazoo River — a main source of drinking water for the surrounding cities.

In 2014 the U.S. DOT Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration reported 305 significant incidents — spills which caused hospitalization or death — involving the shipment of crude oil by pipeline. These spills also produced almost $297 million in property damage.

ETP would be required to compensate farmers for spills, but a reimbursement given to landowners could never amount to a lifetime of crop production. Following a leak, the affected land could be unfarmable for decades, and the money might not be available right away.

In a June 25 article exploring the proposed use of eminent domain in the pipeline project, the Newton Daily News found that ETP conceded in a 2013 report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that the company may not have the liquid capital to clean up an extensive spill.

In a subsection of the report on pages 44-45 the company reported, “We may incur substantial environmental costs and liabilities because of the underlying risk inherent to our operations.

Although we have established financial reserves for our estimated environmental remediation liabilities, additional contamination or conditions may be discovered, resulting in increased remediation costs, liabilities for natural resource damages that could substantially increase our costs for site remediation projects. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that our current reserves are adequate

to cover all future liabilities, even for currently known contamination.”

Even if environmental issues with crude oil pipelines were infrequent, the possibility ETP might not have the financial wherewithal to fund the cleanup of a spill in Iowa is just too great of a risk. Iowa Code only requires $250,000 of liability insurance for hazardous liquid pipelines projects. This could put state and federal taxpayers on the hook for initial clean-up costs, and take federal negotiators and potentially court systems years to recoup that money.

Dakota Access has estimated 2,000 to 4,000 temporary jobs will be created by the project, but independent economists have said that number is inflated. The number of one to two-year jobs does not compare to the steady employment renewables have brought to the region. Newton has become a hub for a growing wind energy industry in Iowa. The state currently generates nearly 30 percent of its power from wind, according to the U.S. Department of Energy, and wind energy manufacturing jobs employ approximately 1,000 workers in Jasper County alone.

Supporting an aging form of energy that will be in direct competition with a growing Iowa-based industry and a growing employer is not in the best interest of the state. The energy derived from wind also produces no greenhouse gas emissions, while the energy taken from burning Bakken crude will contribute to the growing problem of climate change.

Many industry analysts, state and federal lawmakers and regular Iowans will be watching the IUB proceedings and weighing heavily on their ultimate decision. Oil use is not going away overnight and safe transport from existing wells is important — but 50 years of pumping more crude oil underneath America’s breadbasket is just too big of a risk for Iowa and the country.

Global warning? More power to the EPA! 9/11? Vote 100 to 0 to create a TSA! Kids don’t learn?

Common Core!

Crime up? Spend on police! (Or for leftists: increase welfare!)

Immigrants? Seal the border!

Ebola? More money and power for public health programs!

Government thrives on our fears. When we’re scared, politicians are always there, promising to protect us if we just give them more money and power. We usually do.

I got into an argument about that with the hosts of the Fox show “Outnumbered,” which pits one man against four women in debate. The “Outnumbered” hosts are not the usual silly socialist media alarmists.

They often report on the harm big government does. But last summer, with government warning about Ebola being an “incredibly transmissible” disease and media shrieking, “Are hospitals ready?” all four women were alarmed .

They wanted government to do something.

Quarantine? Ban flights from Africa? Hire more doctors?

Government must do something!

I pushed back, saying, “You women get too scared; you exaggerate the risk.” I know that was sexist. But I also think it’s true — women fear more.

Am I wrong? I’m open to counter-argument.

I told the TV hosts that I believed more Americans would be killed by deer than Ebola.

They laughed at me, but I was serious, and in fact, that year only one American died from Ebola, but almost 200 were killed by deer (most from their cars colliding with deer).

But we don’t fear deer.

This Saturday, no one will wear scary deer costumes. No Halloween party will feature scary replicas of cars. We’re accustomed to cars and deer. New threats frighten us — and threats that

seem new.

Like school shootings.

After the last horrible mass shooting, Hillary Clinton implied that school has become more dangerous. She demanded new gun controls, asking, “How many people have to die before we actually act ?”

Every shooting is terrible, and governments often respond by hiring increased security and running “lockdown drills” that terrify kids.

Politicians say these steps are needed because mass shootings are up.

But they are not.

School violence is actually down. There were almost four times as many deaths back in 1994.

People fear today’s resurgence of violent crime.

The head of the FBI says he thinks the “War on Cops” led some officers to be less aggressive, and that’s why crime has risen a little in some cities.

But he had no hard evidence to back up what he said.

Crime is up in a few cities, but the percentage increase is dramatic only because the crime rates in those cities had fallen very low. “Take New York City. Homicides up 8 percent this year,” says Northeastern University criminology professor James Alan Fox, “but it’s 35 percent lower than five years ago.”

Overall, crime continues to fall. Really. The FBI just released the most recent data, which says violent crime is down. Again.

But what about that “War on Cops”? It’s true that in some neighborhoods, police making arrests often face an angry crowd screaming “racism,” and 32 officers have been killed with guns this year. That’s tragic, but it’s not an increase. Actually, today is an especially safe time to be a police officer.

Adjusted for the change in population, 2013 saw fewer police deaths than any year since 1887, and if this year’s trend continues, 2015 will have the lowest number of police killings in decades.

Fear is a friend of the state. When people are frightened, they willingly give money and power to politicians and bureaucrats.

That’s what I feared this Halloween.

The board’s regular monthly meeting will follow the annual meeting.

On behalf of OPEN’s Board of Directors we thank Newton and all of Jasper County for the strong support we have experienced. We want to thank the many citizens that have been involved with our student program. Thirty-nine students from our sister city areas in Ukraine and Taiwan have spent an academic year at Newton High School and several Jasper County high schools and all have been privileged to have had host families that unselfishly shared their families’ lives with them. Currently Vlada Osadcha from Smila, Ukraine is being hosted by the Doug and Cindy Smith family. Second semester host

family will be the Jim and Joan Thorpe family. Without this kind of support, our student program would not be possible. We are very appreciative of the dedication of the thirty-nine students’ host families and we are very proud to have offered the students the opportunity to spend academic time in our area schools.

There are several ways our organization tries to communicate with those of you that are interested in sister city activities. One way is through articles and photos in the Newton Daily News.

We also have a Facebook page, OPEN Newton Iowa, where we try to update

Club Notes Sunbonnet Questers Sunbonnet Questers met Oct. 8 in the home of Judy Swenson with eight members answering roll call. The meeting was called to order by vice president Linda Medland. A silent auction of “Something You Can Live Without” was ongoing throughout the evening with some lively bidding.

Summer meetings were summarized including a trip to Marshalltown to the antique shops, a trip to Colfax and Monroe for more shopping, the necessary board meeting to kick off the year and the September meeting at the home of Bonnie Rasmussen with a fascinating program

by Russell Clayton, an Abraham Lincoln historian and collector Sales in the surrounding areas were discussed as possible trips.

The State Questers Fall Fling will be held Oct. 17 in Story City.

Three members plan to attend.

International Convention volunteers are needed for the meeting in Des Moines on May 19-23, 2016. Volunteering as a group was discussed and we will request more information before making a decision.

The group is looking forward to decorating the 1940s dining room and bed room at the Historical Society for the holidays.

It coincides with the Christmas Dollars for Scholars walk Hostess Judy Swenson invited the group to her dining room where the table was set with 10 different place settings representing sets of dishes she has and uses regularly. Royal Dalton is durable for every day and to our surprise, is dishwasher safe. Before they became makers of fine china Dalton made pitchers and heavy items. Syracuse, although no longer making fine china continues to make restaurant ware

and other heavy china.

Spode began making Christmas china in 1938 and continued until it dissolved in 2009. Her pattern of Calico by Stratfordshire Brownford China was a very busy pattern that mixed well with a solid color Federalist, from Japan, is ovenproof ironstone and she it is for everyday use. Johnson Brothers ironstone is also for every day. Others included Noritake, Lenox and Haviland.

Swenson told stories of each company and the people involved with them. Her one regret is that she sold a set of milk glass because she didn’t like having to dry the nubby surface which would no longer be a problem with a dishwasher Her placemats were very individual and special as well.

Refreshments followed, using the settings the group had just learned about.

Man’s drunken behavior damages valued friendship

DEAR ABBY: I have been friends with “Janet” for eight years. We have been very close, talk often, and go to lunch three times a month. We are like two peas in a pod and have always been honest with each other. Our relationship is open and aboveboard.

On a recent holiday, I went to her house for a party, got drunk and made an inappropriate comment to one of her friends, who had also had too much to drink. Janet called me out in front of the others, demanded I apologize, told me that what I had said was disrespectful, and said she doesn’t want to see me again.

Abby, she tossed out an eight-year friendship over one comment. I don’t understand. Do you? — STUPID GUY OUT WEST DEAR GUY: Not knowing what you said, I can only guess it was so far off the charts that you offended not only the person to whom the comment was directed, but also Janet and the other guests at the party. She may have reacted the way she did because you have done similar things in the past.

You will have a clearer understanding if you talk to her about it when you call to apologize.

DEAR ABBY: What can I do about my boss? I have worked at a bus company for 23 years. My new boss started six months ago. He jokes and laughs with all the other ladies in the office, but when it comes to me, he’s all business. He talks to me only about things that are work-related, and when I try to talk to him about anything else, he gives me a forced grin and walks away. Any suggestions? — FEELING LEFT OUT DEAR FEELING: Your new boss may be intimidated because of your seniority and experience. It may also be because of your age. I am unsure of his reason for treating you differently, but your next move should be to have a talk with your boss to express your feelings

about this.

DEAR ABBY: Would you like to know how my mom reduced the stress of Thanksgiving on our family? My siblings all live locally, so holidays became more and more complicated as they tried to plan around both sides of the family and start family traditions of their own with their kids.

Mom solved the problem by moving our Thanksgiving celebration to the Sunday before. That way we had Saturday to prepare, didn’t have kids asking all morning when we were going to eat and didn’t have to compete with a football game. Mom put the turkey in the oven on Sunday morning before we went to church, and an hour after we got home it was ready to eat.

My folks and single siblings let people know they were available on Thanksgiving Day and were invited to the homes of other family or friends.

As Mom grew older, the gathering became a potluck and other relatives were invited, including the in-laws who were not available on Thursday. — CARRYING ON THE TRADITION DEAR CARRYING ON: You mention your mother in the past tense, so I assume that she is no longer with us. If she were, I would ask you to please tell her for me that her solution was brilliant.

1 Judge upholds conviction of mother who killed neighbor

EARLY — A judge has upheld the murder conviction of an Iowa mother who shot and killed her 20-year-old neighbor in 2001.

Judge Michael Moon rejected an application for post-conviction relief filed by Tracey Richter, who’s serving life in prison in the slaying of 20-year-old Dustin Wehde. Prosecutors contend Richter lured Wehde into her home in the tiny northwest Iowa town of Early, and shot him several times in her bedroom. They say she killed Wehde as part of a plot to frame her ex-husband during a custody battle.

Two vehicles found in Monroe car theft case

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News MONROE — Police have found two more vehicles that were stolen from Monroe the night of Oct. 27, according to Monroe Police Chief Nick Chambers.

A red 2001 Chevrolet Monte Carlo and a blue 2008 GMC Acadia were picked up in Ankeny. Chambers said the Ankeny Police Department had one sus-

pect as of Saturday afternoon, but no charges have been made.

Four vehicles were stolen out of Monroe that night — including a black 2011 Cadillac and a 2005 Chevrolet pickup truck. The truck has already been recovered. All four vehicles were parked around Monroe and had keys in them.

Eight incidents of vehicle break-ins were also reported in the area that night.

Iowa officials: Skilled labor training on brink of overhaul

The Monroe Police Department released a notice to citizens Oct. 28 warning them about the recent thefts and encouraging people to contact the department at 641259-2311 if anyone has information.

Ankeny and Monroe police departments are joining together in the investigation to find additional suspects responsible for the crimes that night.

DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa’s system for teaching career and technical training could be on the brink of a major overhaul thanks in part to a new report, but officials say it’s too early to tell how much the potential changes could cost and who should pay for them.

Career and technical education, once known as vocational education, is essentially skilled training for work that will require more than a high school diploma. The terms encapsulate numerous fields and industries, and such

Officials, including Gov. Terry Branstad, have also announced plans to focus more on training opportunities.

While officials agree that more career and technical training is needed, they can’t yet break down the costs of such reforms recommended by the task force.

Jeremy Varner, with the Iowa Department of Education, said the agency plans to use the task force recommendations to help develop a bill for the upcoming legislative session.

education is gaining attention as Iowa and other states seek to counter a potential shortage in skilled labor.

An education task force created by the Iowa Legislature in 2013 released a report recently that offers recommendations to expand the way such training is offered in the state. It includes having more curriculum offerings starting in the seventh grade, closing a gap in available educators and streamlining the system so it’s more accessible throughout the state.

Iowa KidsNet celebrates National Adoption Month this November

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Nov. 2, 2015

Matthias celebrates 100 years

Newton Daily News Iowa KidsNet is proud to join child welfare advocates and families across the country in celebrating November’s National Adoption Month, a time to raise awareness for the more than 107,000 children in the United States who are waiting to be adopted from foster care and to recognize the people who make a difference in their lives.

“Iowans who serve as foster or adoptive parents can make a lifelong difference for children and teens in out-of-home care,” said Theresa Lewis, project director for Iowa KidsNet. “Every young person deserves to have a permanent connection to a caring adult.”

Iowa KidsNet is the single statewide contact for Iowans seeking to become foster parents or adopt from foster care. There is an ongoing need for more Iowans to serve their communities in this way, especially for those willing to foster or adopt teens, sibling groups and children with special needs or behaviors.

There is also a need for more African American and Latino families to become foster or adoptive parents.

In all Iowa counties, Iowa KidsNet provides post-adoption support to families who have adopted a child through the Iowa Department of Human Services.

Iowa KidsNet is a statewide collaboration of agencies that utilizes a unique, cohesive approach to provide recruitment, training, licensing and continued support to individuals who wish to become foster and adoptive parents. Iowa KidsNet is a partnership of six Iowa social service agencies, including Four Oaks, Children’s Square USA, Family Resources, Lutheran Services in Iowa, Quakerdale and Youth and Shelter Services.

Iowa Medicaid privatization plans continue to draw scrutiny The Associated Press DES MOINES — Gov. Terry Branstad’s effort to privatize Iowa’s Medicaid program continues to move forward, though critics are raising questions about the projected cost savings, how contracts have been awarded and just how the change would impact patients.

On Tuesday a special legislative oversight committee will hold the first of two scheduled hearings to review the privatization plans.

Branstad said the move to private management will mean more stream-

lined service at a lower cost, but many involved in the Medicaid system — including patients and health care providers — are less sure.

“My fear is services may go away or I may not be able to get as much of the services as I need,” said Rhonda Shouse, 48, of Marion, who has been on Medicaid for about a year and receives in-home care for bipolar disorder and other conditions. “I’ve worked with my psychiatrist for ten years, that’s not something I want to change. “ Asked about concerns with the process, Brans-

tad said: “People need to give this an opportunity to work and see the benefits that come from it. We should not be afraid of change.”

Branstad began the effort to move Medicaid to managed care organizations earlier this year, a shift that would impact most of the 560,000 Iowans enrolled in Medicaid.

The program, which provides care to poor children, families and disabled people, as well as some low-income adults, is funded with $4.2 billion in state and federal dollars.

The plan is set to

take effect Jan. 1, but Iowa is still awaiting federal approval. The four companies hired to help run the program are Amerigroup Corp., AmeriHealth Caritas, UnitedHealthcare Plan of the River Valley and WellCare Health Plans.

Some losing bidders are contesting those picks, arguing before an administrative law judge that the process was flawed. The administrative hearing has looked closely at the actions of former Republican state lawmaker Renee Schulte, who worked for WellCare during the bid process.

One agonizing step from ecstasy last season, this time the Royals reign after their latest incredible comeback and a goahead hit from maybe the most unlikely player in uniform.

Christian Colon singled home the tiebreaking run in the 12th inning and those bound-and-determined Royals rallied one more time to beat the New York Mets 7-2 in 12 innings early Monday for their first World Series championship since 1985 and second overall.

Down two runs in the ninth, Kansas City fought back in Game 5 against two of the top arms on the pitching-rich Mets: Matt Harvey and Jeurys Familia. And the Royals did it not with home run power but instead a daring dash from Eric Hosmer, a three-run double by Lorenzo Cain, a couple of crucial stolen bases.

Consistent contact, keep the line moving.

And that’s how Series MVP Salvador Perez and the Royals became the first team since the 2002 Angels to come from behind in all four World Series wins, according to STATS. That’s how they washed away the bitter taste of last year’s Game 7 loss at home to San Francisco, an October heartbreak that drove them to their singular focus all season.

Hedrick captured the 200-

Newton’s Coen, Rhoads finish season at state meet

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News FORT DODGE — It was a trying final cross country season for Newton’s Grace Coen. The future Division I runner battled through a leg injury all season and returned just in time to qualify for a fourth state meet.

But she just didn’t have the conditioning base to compete with the other top runners in the state.

At least the Cardinal senior had a teammate to share in her final experience in the Iowa High School Cross Country Championships at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course on Saturday.

That teammate — freshman Rachel Rhoads — hopes to carry on a legacy that has been started

by Coen.

On Saturday, Rhoads finished her first Class 3A state cross country meet in 27th place, while Coen ended her high school career with a 42nd-place finish.

“I have cried a lot. It’s hard being a senior and trying to do well but not physically being able to,” Coen said. “I really only have had two weeks of running leading up to this race. That makes it hard to go and do well. I don’t have the base I need.

“The last two races were basically just trying to do the best I could with what conditioning I had.”

It was the first 3A meet for Coen, who ran in the 4A state meet the past three seasons. She wasn’t even sure she would get NEWTON | 8B

Ranked Iowa Valley sweeps Tigerhawks

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News M A R E N G O — Colfax-Mingo’s volleyball team was eliminated from the Class 1A postseason on Friday night following a three-set loss to No. 9 Iowa Valley in Region 5 Wilson semifinal action.

Iowa Valley won its fifth straight match when it dispatched the Tigerhawks 25-19, 25-16, 2513. It was the second time this season Colfax-Mingo was defeated by Iowa Valley, which also swept the Tigerhawks back on Sept. 15.

Colfax-Mingo (9-18) was led by Ries Wilson, who had nine kills, seven digs and five aces.

Sophomore Megan Earles had 17 assists.

Junior Dakota Hostetter had six kills and 12 digs.

“It was a great season to build on,” Colfax-Mingo coach Michelle Grant said.

“This team has been a pleasure to coach. They were willing to work hard to do what is necessary. With a strong finish and a very young team we are ready to work in the off season and have a strong year next fall.”

Iowa Valley (25-8) got 19 kills and 10 digs from Marissa Ward, 21 assists from Cherisse Ward and eight kills from Caleigh Smith.

Cherisse Ward was 24-of-24 in serves. Iowa Valley was 74-of-76 from behind the service line in the win.

Gordon wins at Martinsville for spot in final MARTINSVILLE, Va. (AP) — As the adoring crowd lingered in the darkness at Martinsville Speedway, Jeff Gordon took a moment to soak it in.

In a 23-year career that is one long highlight reel, his victory Sunday overwhelmed the NASCAR great. He had just earned a spot in the championship race, a chance to race for an elusive fifth title.

C-M’s Hostetter nabs top 25 finish at state meet Lynnville-Sully’s Kuhlmann finishes 31st in boys race

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News FORT DODGE — For some reason, Colfax-Mingo’s Dakota Hostetter doesn’t run her best at the state cross country meet. She even feels like her finish this year was somewhat of a failure.

However, running in three state meets in her first three years of high school and finishing in the top 22 of all three races doesn’t sound like a failure.

In fact, most runners would love to have Hostetter’s resume, and she gets one more year to claim the ultimate prize.

For now, the Tigerhawk junior will have to accept a 21st place finish at this year’s Class 1A girls 5K race in the Iowa High School Cross Country Championships that took place at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course on Saturday.

Hostetter was 13th as a freshman and 22nd last year.

This season, she didn’t feel comfortable running at the pace most of the other runners in contention for medals race at during the middle stages of the race.

Hostetter’s strong finish moved her up a few spots, but she had too much ground to make up to get into the top 15.

“There was a giant pack orfrunners who were in contention for a medal, and they just ran a faster pace in the middle of the race than I was comfortable with,” said Hostetter, who finished in 20 minutes, 48.4 seconds. “I never run my best here. There’s so many people, and I don’t run well when I feel too much pressure, unfortunately.”

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo junior Dakota Hostetter claimed her third straight top-25 finish at the Iowa High School State Cross Country Championships in Fort Dodge on Saturday. Hostetter was 13th as a freshman, 22nd as a sophomore and came in 21st on Saturday.

Hostetter felt the pressure of being the ninth ranked runner in 1A coming into the race.

What that meant to her was she should have walked away with a medal.

“Coming in ranked ninth means that you should get a medal. I kind of feel like I failed,” Hostetter said. “It was really tough. It’s one of those races where your legs are jello from the start. It feels so much

harder here.”

Lynnville-Sully’s Canyon Kuhlmann also competed in his third state meet Saturday.

He came into the race hoping for a top 30 finish and a time of 17:30.

Even though he fell a bit short of those goals, he was still 20 places better and nearly 19 seconds faster than last year’s state meet.

Kuhlmann wound up 31st

overall with a time of 17:41.

“It was a very fast race. I feel like I was never able to get relaxed,” Kuhlmann said. “I haven’t had to push so hard before.

It was crazy.”

Kuhlmann came into the state meet as the 15th and final qualifier from the Ankeny Centennial state qualifier. But L-S coach Darin Arkema CLASS 1A | 3B

Four area runners compete in first state cross country meet

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News FORT DODGE — Prairie City-Monroe freshman Payton Schut had a hard time holding back her emotions when she finished her first 5K at the Iowa High School State Cross Country Championships on Saturday at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course.

Qualifying for the state meet in her first high school season was never thought to be realistic for Schut. Even after her coach Eric Karr told her that reaching the state’s top meet was possible, Schut still wasn’t sure.

The reality turned out to be true for Schut and three other area runners.

By the time all four were done running, they all were excited they got to enjoy the experience for the first time.

“It’s amazing. I am just really happy that I got to make my freshman year,” Schut said.

“I didn’t realize this was possible. I didn’t care about where I finished. I was glad to be here and just wanted to enjoy it. My last race of the season was the state meet so that’s pretty awesome.”

Schut shared the 2A girls state meet race with Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Heather Jessen. PCM junior Chris Ellens and CMB freshman Ian Thomson also represented their schools in the 2A boys race.

All four were maneuvering their way around the state meet course for the first time in their high school careers.

The top finisher of the four was Thomson, who crossed in 63rd in the boys race with a time of 18 minutes, 1.4 seconds.

“I tried to treat this meet like just another race and not think about it too much. I just wanted to run my best,”

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior Chris Ellens (left) and Collins-Maxwell/Baxter junior Heather Jessen (right) both ran in their first Iowa High School Cross Country Championships in Fort Dodge on Saturday. Jessen finished 71st in the girls 5K race, while Ellens was 72nd in the boys 5K race.

Thomson said. “I knew it was going to be a pretty flat course, so I tried to run a PR.” Ellens was five seconds back of Thomson in 72nd.

The Heart of Iowa Conference rivals congratulated each other on finishing their first state meet. Both will be back competing against each other next season.

“It was a fun experience. It’s different than any other meet,” said Ellens, who said the cold weather kept him tight throughout the race. “There’s tons of people yelling in your ear the whole time.

“This is motivation for me.

Being here was fun. Now I want to get back here and do even better next year.”

Thomson had the same mindset, and now he knows what he truly is capable of.

“The goal now is to train even harder and get to the best place I can be by the time I am a senior,” Thomson said.

The overall boys winner was C.J. May of Aplington-Parkersburg. May crossed the line in 15:55, while Chase Smith of Garner-Hayfield-Ventura was second in 16:07.1. DikeNew Hartford’s John Crew was third in 16:18.4.

Davis County Zach Houg-

land, the runner who captured everyone’s hearts after he was disqualified as an individual at the state qualifier after helping an injured competitor to his feet and helping him finish the race, placed 50th overall.

Garner-Hayfield-Ventura won the boys team title with 59 points, while Unity Christian (79) and Monticello (86) were second and third, respectively.

Jessen was seven positions higher and 8.5 seconds faster than Schut in the girls 5K race.

No. 10 Iowa remains unbeaten

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter freshman Ian Thomson, left, ran in his first Iowa High School State Cross Country Championships in Fort Dodge on Saturday. Thomson finished the Class 2A boys 5K race in 63rd place.

Class 2A Continued from Page 2B Jessen was 71st overall with a time of 21:21.4, and Schut hit the line in 78th with a time of 21:29.9.

Jessen admitted the goal she set for herself in her first state meet was to just finish. She also said nerves got the best of her at first.

“There are just a lot of really good runners here. I was nervous,” Jessen said. “I didn’t do as well as I would ever had thought. But I really didn’t know what to expect.”

Schut was the 78th finisher in the 2A girls race. She hit the line in

21:29.9.

“I am proud of myself.

Everyone here should be proud of themselves,” Schut said.

Monticello sophomore Paige Holub won her second straight state title. Her finishing time was 18:54.7. Cascade’s Becca McDermott was the runner-up in 19:10.8 and Karley Larson of Underwood was third in 19:15.8.

Cascade won the state title with 76 points. Monticello was next with 84 and the third-place team is South Winneshiek, who scored 90 points.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe freshman Payton Schut competed in her first Iowa High School State Cross Country Championships in Fort Dodge on Saturday and placed 78th in the Class 2A girls 5K race.

Class 1A Continued from Page 2B knew his senior was much better than that.

He proved it Saturday.

“I am pretty proud to say that I have seen every race of his career and he saved his best one for last,” Arkema said. “And that’s saying something because he has had a lot of good ones.

“Hostetter had a busy fall. She also played on the Colfax-Mingo volleyball team and was involved in the Tigerhawks’ regional semifinal match with No. 9 Iowa Valley a few hours before running at state cross country.

She won’t use playing two sports as an excuse, but there’s not too many kids, if any, who finished ahead of her that take part in both sports for their respective schools.

“I don’t think it affected me. I don’t need a lot of time to recover,” Hostetter said. “I was trying to win a volleyball

match last night so maybe I wasn’t as focused today. But I have done that before.”

Hostetter will have one more season with the Tigerhawk cross country team. With the addition of eighth-grader Abbey McConeghey to an already young squad, Hostetter and Tomas have aspirations of returning to the state meet as a team for the second time in three seasons.

“It’s an exciting time for Tigerhawk cross country moving forward,” Tomas said. “I really look for our boys and girls teams to have some big improvements next year.”

Kuhlmann graduates from Lynnville-Sully this spring, but he leaves a gigantic imprint on the Hawk harriers’ program.

“Canyon is not always the most vocal kid, but when others see the efforts he put in at a young age, he really was a blessing to all of our teams,” Arkema said.

IOWA CITY (AP) — Unbeaten Iowa kicked off the supposedly soft part of its schedule with a win that wasn’t exactly pleasing to the eye.

Coach Kirk Ferentz couldn’t care less.

All he sees is that his Hawkeyes are 8-0.

Desmond King had an 88yard interception return for a touchdown in the fourth quarter and 10th-ranked Iowa beat Maryland 31-15 Saturday.

Akrum Wadley, LeShun Daniels and Derrick Mitchell had touchdown runs for the Hawkeyes, who are 4-0 in the Big Ten. They’ll enter November unbeaten for just the second time in 17 seasons under Ferentz despite gaining only 53 yards in the second half.

“I don’t know how good we are as a football team. But our guys are working hard and playing together,” Ferentz said. “To move to 8-0, that’s a pretty significant accomplishment. Hasn’t been done a lot.”

Iowa used a touchdown late in the second quarter to lead 21-0 at halftime. The Hawkeyes defense took over from there, and King’s return put the Hawkeyes ahead 31-7 with 7:38 left.

Will Likely had a 100-yard kickoff return for the Terrapins

Troy Hyde/Daily News The 10th-ranked Iowa football team celebrated another victory on Saturday when the Hawkeyes downed Maryland, 31-15, at Kinnick Stadium. Iowa is now 8-0 on the season and enters November unbeaten for just the second time in Kirk Ferentz’s 17 years as head coach.

(2-6, 0-4), and Maryland threw for only 74 yards.

Maryland got within 21-7 early in the fourth quarter on a 7-yard TD pass from Perry Hills to Taivon Jacobs, capping a drive highlighted by Iowa penalties.

Marshall Koehn’s 49-yard field goal pushed Iowa’s cushion back to 17 with 11 minutes left.

The Terps quickly drove deep

into Iowa territory, but King stepped in front of Hills’ pass for his second career touchdown.

Likely took the subsequent kickoff back for a score, and the Terps tacked on a two-point conversion. But Iowa was able to run out the clock in the first of five games against teams that, save for Minnesota, will struggle for bowl eligibility.

Iowa State shuts out Longhorns AMES (AP) — Joel Lanning gave Iowa State and coach Paul Rhoads just the spark they needed.

Lanning threw a touchdown pass in his first start and freshman Mike Warren carved out another 100-yard rushing game, leading Iowa State to a much-needed 24-0 victory over Texas on Saturday night.

Though Lanning struggled at times with his passing, he did enough with his feet for the Cyclones (3-5, 2-3 Big 12) to break a three-game losing streak.

And it came as no surprise at all to Rhoads and Lanning’s teammates.

“I would say that it was very accurate to what I sort of expected to some degree,” Rhoads said.

“He is a competitive, competitive kid. He likes the ball in his hands. He stood in there under pressure.

“He ran for productive yards whether it was scrambles or designed quarterback runs. He took some hits and got up and the team knew who was tough and who was in charge.”

Added wide receiver Allen Lazard, “Seeing him making plays and throwing his body around just gives you more juice.”

Lanning, a sophomore from nearby Ankeny, led a 66-yard

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa State freshman running back Mike Warren, with the ball, ran for 157 yards and a touchdown during the Cyclones’ 24-0 win over Texas at Jack Trice Stadium on Saturday. It was the first home win over Texas in history of Iowa State’s program.

scoring drive that gave the Cyclones a quick early lead and floated a perfectly thrown pass to Dondre Daley in the left corner of the end zone to make it 17-0 in the third quarter. Joshua Thomas plunged in from 1 yard out late in the game to finish off the Longhorns.

Texas (3-5, 2-3) had upset Oklahoma and dominated Kansas State in its two previous outings with an improved running game. But the Longhorns struggled to get anything going in this one and didn’t advance past the ISU 47 until the final 90 seconds.

The victory should ease some of the pressure on Rhoads, whose team won for just the second time in its last 13 Big 12 games.

Warren carried 32 times for 157 yards and a 3-yard touchdown in the first quarter, the fifth time in the last six games he has run for at least 126. Lanning added 64 yards on the ground and completed 19-of-37 passes for 188 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions.

While the offense was impressive, the defense was even better in handing Rhoads the third shutout in his seven seasons.

“Our programs will be better moving forward because Canyon Kuhlmann went through it.”

Winning the 1A girls individual title was Durant senior Alyssa Williams, who was 28th last year. She finished in 19:12.9 and crossed 14 seconds ahead of runner-up Camryn Reeg, a sophomore from Bellevue who was seventh a year ago.

No. 2 Central Elkader won the girls team title with 66 points.

The 1A boys 5K winner was Ogden junior Andrew Stumbo, who placed 13th last year. He finished with a time of 16:33, which was 8 seconds faster than Bellevue’s Andrew Meyer.

West Fork junior Jacob Hansen was third this year after finishing 10th last season.

Aquagirls Continued from Page 1B “I was a little nervous going into the 200. I had a tough week at practice and it’s not been an event I really liked, but it is growing on me,” Hedrick said after the races. I wasn’t expecting this regional championship, so it feels pretty good.”

Hedrick lowered her own 200 freestyle NCMP record by four seconds. The former mark was 1.56.66 set in 2014.

Hedrick had her sites set on defending her regional 100 butterfly championship. She was second in the event at the 2014 state meet.

Saturday, Hedrick made a statement at the regional, winning in the fastest time across the state 55.35 seconds. Again, she won by almost two seconds over Cedar Falls’ Meghan Hackett, 57.14.

Grace Snyder of Ames won a regional championship in the 100 butterfly Saturday in 56.44 as the second-fastest time heading to the state meet.

“I didn’t think this was a fast pool going into the competition. It’s a fast pool,” Hedrick said with a smile. “When I set goals at the start of the season, it’s about next week (state), but I knew I wanted to win another regional championship in the 100 fly.”

Earlier this season, Hedrick lowered her own NCMP butterfly record to 56.09 seconds.

Hedrick said last year she was in one individual event and three relays, but she decided to swim two individual events this year. She will be competing in four events at the state meet.

“Samantha was just amazing today. To go out and swim two career-best times at a regional was impressive. She swam very relaxed in both of her individual races,” Patterson said.

Hedrick said she wasn’t as nervous for the butterfly as she was the 200, but she was worried about how her body was feeling.

“I was a bit tired, but you just push all that aside and swim your own race,” Hedrick said. “I normally don’t swallow water, but today I shallowed a lot and my turns weren’t the best. All that shows there is still a little bit of improvement for next week.”

Patterson said she thought after the Aquagirls’ medley relay team of Jenkins, Rhoads, junior Emily Miller and Stout posted a 1:55.43 for sixth place Saturday, the medley relay would be going on to the state meet. The top four relay teams from the Fort

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Alex Stout dives in as NCMP teammate Samanth Hedrick touches in the 200-yard freestyle relay race at Saturday’s regional at Fort Dodge.. Waiting their turns are Sydney Jenkins and Hannath Rhoads. The foursome qualified for the state swim meet.

Dodge regional made it into the state meet field, but the final team slot time was 1:54.44.

“It looks like the state is going to be so fast this year. I mean record-setting fast swims,” Patterson said.

Case in point was the 200 individual medley race.

NCMP’s Rhoads posted her season’s-best time of 2:20.08 for second place at the regional and did not make the state field. Ellie Shimp of Cedar Falls won the regional title in 2:18.98, which was the 25th-fastest time in the state and she made it in because all regional winners qualify for the state meet.

In the 200 freestyle relay race, Hedrick, Stout, Jenkins and Rhoads combined for a 1:40.88, finishing fourth. Hedrick, Prendergast, Webb and Myers turned in a third-place time of 3:39.81. Both relays are just second away from school records.

“In the 200 relay, every girl had personal-best 50 times, so that is outstanding,” Patterson said.

Royals Continued from Page 1B Never waver. Win it all this time.

Now, this group of homegrown favorites that turned around a floundering franchise, Mike Moustakas and Alex Gordon and Hosmer, can take their place in Royals history alongside George Brett, Willie Wilson, Bret Saberhagen and those champs from 30 years ago.

With no margin for error, Harvey put the Mets’ last hope in his hands and hung on as long as he could. After eight scoreless innings, he pushed to pitch the ninth and finally faltered.

New York slugger Yoenis Cespedes exited with knee pain but Curtis Granderson hit a leadoff homer, his third long ball of the Series, and the Mets managed a 2-0 lead against heavy-hearted Royals starter Edinson Volquez, pitching one day after returning from his father’s funeral.

back to state after sustaining a leg injury before the season.

With the support of Rhoads and the rest of her teammates, Coen returned, took advantage of her first race of the season and finished her final year at the state’s biggest high school race.

“The goal for (Coen) was to go out and enjoy her final state race,” Newton coach Rachelle Tipton said. “We were hoping she improved her time from the state qualifier, and she did that.”

Coen crossed the finish line in 20 minutes, 21.3 seconds. Rhoads, who came in ranked 27th and finished 27th, stopped the clock 20 seconds faster in 20:01.2.

That was the second fastest time of the year for Rhoads, who ran her best time on the same course during the Fort Dodge Invitational. But the experience Saturday was much different.

“There was a ton of people. It’s the same course, but it doesn’t even feel like the same at all,” Rhoads said.

“Right when I got here, you can tell it was going to be different. “​ I got stuck in the middle of a pack in the first 400 to 500 meters.

I couldn’t get out of it. That factored into the time, but it was a cool experience. I was happy to be here, and I ran my best.”

“I knew I had a good group of freshmen, but after that first meet I kind of

knew we’d have a lot more fun that I originallty expected,” Tipton said. “I think (Rhoads) surprised herself, too.

“She got herself out in the right spot today and looked as strong as she has looked all year. Now, we just keep knocking back times and places each year. We are thinking she can be an all-stater in a few years.”

Coen is optimistic about Rhoads’ future, too. She is more than happy to “pass the torch” to her younger teammate.

“I expect big things from her,” Coen said. “I am so glad I got to run with her here and at districts. She will do very well. I want to leave knowing that Newton is in good hands, and I know Rachel will do that.”

Even though Coen missed most of the season, Rhoads still leaned on her teammate’s experience throughout the year. and was happy to run with one of the school’s all-time best runners for the final two races.

“It was good to have Grace here.

We talked some strategy. She’s been helping me all year,” Rhoads said.

“Grace is a really good runner. I look up to her. I never thought I’d be the one following in her footsteps. It’s humbling to think about it that way.

I looked up to her as a young runner and thought it’d be great to be like her someday.”

That time is here for Rhoads. She’s proven all year that she belongs in the same conversation as other top runners in Iowa. Coen has set a pretty high bar, but Rhoads has three years

deficit is too large, no time in the game too late.

Perez looped a leadoff single in the 12th off losing pitcher Addison Reed, and pinch-runner Jarrod Dyson stole second. One out later, Colon stepped in as a pinch-hitter for his first plate appearance since the regular-season finale Oct. 4.

Hardly rusty, he lined a 1-2 pitch into left-center and pounded his chest at first base. Alcides Escobar added an RBI double, and Cain’s bases-loaded double off Bartolo Colon broke it open.

All that was left was for Wade Davis to close it out. He threw a called third strike past Wilmer Flores to end it and tossed his glove high in the air as the Royals rushed toward the mound to celebrate.

Hundreds of Royals fans dressed in blue descended toward the Kansas City dugout to cheer their champs. Perez received his MVP award after the catcher hit .364.

Later, the Mets came back onto the field to salute a smaller pocket of fans who stuck around for one last chant of “Let’s go, Mets!”

Fired up all night, Harvey was at 102

pitches following a 1-2-3 eighth and stalked briskly back to the dugout with one purpose in mind. There, cameras caught him telling manager Terry Collins — in no uncertain terms — he was going back out for the ninth.

Collins relented, and a huge roar went up as Harvey bounded off the bench and sprinted to the mound, looking for his second complete game in the majors. But he walked Cain on a full-count slider, and Hosmer hit an RBI double.

Harvey was pulled for closer Familia, and Hosmer advanced on Moustakas’ groundout to the right side.

Sound fundamentals, a Royals staple.

So up stepped Perez with the potential tying run 90 feet away. Perez got jammed and hit a slow grounder to third baseman David Wright, who froze Hosmer with a glance and threw across the diamond for the second out.

Hosmer, however, bolted for the plate when Wright released the ball. First baseman Lucas Duda fired wide of catcher Travis d’Arnaud and Hosmer made a headfirst dive home with the tying run.

Continued from Page 1B

Troy Hyde/Daily News Newton freshman Rachel Rhoads was the 27th-ranked runner in Class 3A and finished 27th in Saturday’s state girls 5K race.

“We had girls who bounced back from swims that weren’t fantastic earlier in the meet to swim well on these two relays. Madeline and Elizabeth had career-best times for their 100s, Sarah was close to her best time, and Sam threw down a 52-second 100 to start us off in the 400.”

Swimming in the 200 freestyle race were Myers and Webb, finishing seventh and eighth, respectively in 2:06.38 and 2:06.48. Miller placed sixth in the 100 butterfly in 1:03.43 and Stout was eighth in 1:04.75.

Miller placed seventh in the 200 individual medley in 2:28.43 and senior Sierra Griffith took eighth in 2:28.92. Stout led a 8-9-10 finish for the Aquagirls in the 50 freestyle race. Stout was eighth in 26.30 seconds followed by senior Kaelee Knoll in ninth at 26.35 and Jenkins in 10th at 26.40.

Webb turned in a fifth-place finish in the 100 freestyle race in 56.51, just out touching her teammate Myers in 56.84, as both earned regional medals. Prendergast placed seventh in 56.98 seconds.

Reaching the podium for placing in the top six was sophomore Jessica Zahn with a sixth-place time of 5:51.57 in the 500 freestyle. Junior Taylor Tremmel was 12th and Alex Inskeep placed 13th in 6:13.59 and 6:23.52, respectively.

Freshman Lindsey Blommers finished tied for fifth in the 100 breaststroke in 1:11.74 to claim a regional medal. Griffith was ninth in 1:12.57, and Rhoads was 10th in 1:12.64.

Jenkins placed 10th in the 100 backstroke in 1:04.65 while Knoll was 12th in 1:09.25 and Prendergast was 13th in 1:09.51.

NCMP piled up 378.5 points to finish second as a team behind Cedar Falls, 472.5 points. Spencer was third at 260 followed by Storm Lake 258, Fort Dodge 248, Boone 215, Sioux City North 144, Algona 63 and Charles City 50.

NCMP will swim in four events Saturday at the state meet and has sophomore Morgann Eide in the state diving event Friday. The IGHSAU State Diving and Swimming Championship meet is at the Marshalltown YMCA-YWCA.

left to make her own mark on the Cardinal program.

Coen was just happy to be able to run at state one last time. Things didn’t look too good earlier this season.

“I was hoping I would qualify, but I honestly wasn’t sure where my fitness levels were at,” Coen said. “I wasn’t sure how fast to start out because I didn’t know how much I would have left at the end. I still had that problem today.”

Coen still has one track season left to make up for an unfortunate cross country campaign. When she is finished at Newton, she’ll take her talents to either Iowa, Nebraska or Nevada. She has taken visits to all three schools since late August and plans to make her final decision soon and will sign with one of those schools on Nov. 11.

Winning the 3A girls individual title was Davenport Assumption sophomore and 10th-ranked Julia Schumacher. She finished in 19:01.8 and her teammate, seventh-ranked Joy Ripslinger, was 10th to help the top-ranked Knights win the team title with 131 points.

After Assumption in the team race was Little Hawkeye Conference champion and second-ranked Pella with 145 points. The Lady Dutch edged No. 3 Dubuque Wahlert by one point.
