By Kate Malott Newton Daily News A Newton man was pronounced dead after an incident early Saturday morning near the 161 eastbound mile marker on Interstate 80 in Jasper County.

According to the Iowa State Patrol crash report, Matthew Lentzkow, of Newton, was first taken into custody

by Trooper Scott Bogdanski for an operating while intoxicated investigation around 5 a.m.

New city signs installed

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News Hundreds of Iowa high school dancers visited Newton over the weekend for the annual Iowa State Dance Team Association Outstanding Color Guard and Outstanding Iowa Dancer competitions.

Nearly 600 high school dancers from all across Iowa competed in the color guard dance competition Friday at Berg Middle School and state solo dance competition Saturday at both Berg and Newton High School.

Not only did dancers attend, but many parents, family and other supporters attended the competitions. According to ISDTA Director Lois Turnage, attendance totalled around 2,200.

“Overall the event went great on Saturday,” Newton Paceset-

subject’s vehicle.

He entered the interstate and was struck by a passing vehicle in the left inside lane, driven

by Enrique Perez, 24, of West Des Moines.

Lentzkow was found in the interstate median where he was pronounced dead by Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty.

The incident remains under internal investigation which the ISP hopes to have complete Tuesday.

New signs have been springing up at all city building, parks and facilities with the City of Newton’s goal of matching its look to its new brand.

“When we updated the brand one of the most visually impactful things throughout the community were the city vehicles and trucks that drive around and the signs that were up at the facilities and parks,” said Natalie Umstead, City

of Newton Management Analyst. “From the beginning, when we launched the brand, we sort of knew that replacing the signs with a more modern update would be one of the things we would want to do.”

The city sent out a request to several local sign designers with three submissions returned. A committee of city staffer reviewed the designs and selected the work of Matt Michener from Sign SIGNS | 9A

Parrott looks back on 40 plus year career in recorder’s office

By Ty Rushing Newton Daily News What started out as a summer job between her junior and senior year of high school in 1966 soon expanded into a career of public service for Nancy Parrott — who is stepping down as Jasper County’s Recorder this year.

For Parrott, the decision to step down wasn’t easy but it gives her a chance to explore other opportunities outside of room 205 of the Jasper County Courthouse, where she has worked off and on for more than 40 years.

Her four decades of involvement with county government actually began thanks to a strong family connection.

“When I was 16, my mother worked for the

Daily News, her name was Marge Hoen, and she ran the beat. She went to the police station and the courthouse and picked up information,” Parrott said.

“Margaret Baker was the county recorder at that time, and Margaret was eccentric to say the least. She wanted someone part-time for the summer. Mom said, ‘I have just the person,’ and mom brought me up here and Margaret hired me.”

As a high school student working for a county official, Parrott — who was still just Nancy Hoen at the time — had a set of job duties that were just as eclectic as her boss.

“My basic responsibility, at that point, was to make sure that Margaret had malts and anything else that she wanted that day,” Parrott said be-

fore a laugh. “Margaret would take me to statewide meetings. She took me to statewide meetings that summer and I knew nothing about the office.”

Parrott recalled being terrified to death of her boss’ driving every time they drove to those state meetings.

“She drove this old Studebaker and would stomp (on her brakes) on the interstate to let other cars merge on, I mean it was pretty scary,” Parrott said.

Her anxiety didn’t subside when they arrived at their location either.

“Then we’d get up there, she’d take me to the meeting and then she would go take a nap. I was trying to write down everything to bring back to the deputies that were here — it was an experi-

ence,” Parrott said.

Fetching frozen beverages and being tasked with representing Jasper County at official functions somehow didn’t deter Parrott from wanting to work in the recorder’s office after her summer job ended.

Newton Hy-Vee recycles more than 30 tons of food

By Newton Daily News The Hy-Vee store in Newton partnered with food waste diversion company GreenRU this summer to begin a food waste recycling program. As of Oct. 10, the Newton HyVee had already recycled 60,840 pounds, more than 30 tons, of food waste since beginning the program.

The program utilizes a system of employee training and education platforms to instruct employees about the benefits of diverting food scraps and developing compostable waste streams, to ensure success. Hy-Vee first utilizes community organizations such as food banks to divert edible food to organizations that get the food to

families in need.

“The Newton Hy-Vee is proud to partner with a company like GreenRU. We do our best to divert as many unsellable items that would normally end up in a landfill to our local Salvation Army and other local organizations. They then can distribute the items to those in need in our community. When we

do have items that are compostable but should not be consumed, we have the ability, through GreenRU, to keep these items from ending up in the landfill,” Newton Hy-Vee Store Director Todd Fox said.

“Through composting eventually these items return back into the environment.

This is a great partnership for

Beaded Needle moves to expand

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Jan Batt and Eva Miller moved to their new location at 326 First Ave. W. to expand their growing business only eight months after opening their first shop.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News After only eight months in their first location, Eva Miller and Jan Batt decided an much bigger location was needed for their growing business, Beaded Needle.

Formerly the Lone Dove Trading Post and Jan’s Three Bags Full, Beaded Needle moved from 118 First Ave. E. and few blocks west to 326 First Ave. W. “We outgrew it extremely fast.

There was about 500 square foot there. We have 2,600 here.,” Miller said. “We started moving out of the other shop and kind of look at each other like, where was all of this at.”

The two level shop now allows the duo to have additional equipment and merchandise in the store as well as classes during the day.

The wool, yard, spinning wheels and looms are in the upstairs space along with a dedicated class room and the owner’s offices. At the first shop, there was not room for the spinning wheel and looms and all classes had to be held in the evening.

Classes are provided in bead-

ing, spinning, loom both bead and fabric, earring making, dream catcher, knitting, crocheting and broomstick lace.

“Just about any type of class you want to find we’ve got it,” Miller said.

Everything in the shop is handmade and almost all materials are natural. Yarn comes from wool, alpaca, llama, cotton and some very high quality synthetic.

“The llama that we carry is from Peru and part of the money from the purchase price goes back to the school there to provide schools for the herders,” Batt said.

A wide variety of handmade items are available to purchase including jewelry, chokers, applique work, handspun yarn, moccasins, scarves and shawls. Miller also does a large quantity of custom work as well.

“Over the years, I have had a lot of ladies bring in a blouse or an outfit and say I need something to match this,” Miller said.

Before opening the first shop in February, most of their product was sold at rendezvous which are pre-1840 mountain men events, pow wows, trade fairs, craft shows

and flea markets. Because of health issues as well as many other reasons, Miller and Batt decided to open a permanent shop instead of doing so much traveling.

“It is nice to be able to come to work and not have to worry about tearing down wet canvas or sitting in 100 degree temperature,” Miller said.

It has also allowed them to start their Tuesday night Stitch and Bitch, which is a national organization, for crafters of any kind to come and work as well as chat.

“Bring any craft that you do, we don’t care whether it’s crocheting, knitting, quilting, it’s just a chance for people to get together and have a good time,” Miller said.

The gathering is from 4 to 9 p.m. every Tuesday.

As of now, there are no major additions planned for the new shop but the potential is unlimited.

“Just watch us keep growing,” Miller said.

US stocks open little changed after record run NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks were little changed in early trading Monday after closing out October at record levels.

Sapient jumped after agreeing to be acquired

by Publicis, a French marketing company.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 index was little changed at 2,018. The Dow Jones industrial average dropped 17 points, or 0.1 percent, to 17,372.

The Nasdaq composite gained six points, or 0.1 percent, to 4,637.

The S&P 500 and the Dow closed at all-time highs on Friday after the Bank of Japan surprised investors by announcing it would increase its bond and asset purchases in an effort to try and stave off deflation. Strong company earnings also helped the stock market recover from an early

October slump.

A gauge of Chinese manufacturing released by a government-sanctioned industry group came in below what analysts were looking for. The weakness raised concern that growth in the world’s second-largest economy will decline further.

A similar report into the manufacturing sector of the 18-nation eu-

Benchmark U.S. crude fell 0.60 to $79.97 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange.

Brent crude, used to price international oil, was 66 cents lower at $85.21 per barrel.

Great Clips makes it easy to thank a veteran Great Clips of Newton, 301 Iowa Speedway Drive, encourages Americans to thank veterans in a tangible way, by awarding them a free haircut. It’s part of Great Clips’ Thank a Veteran promotion, and it’s one small gesture with a powerful message of appreciation.

Customers who come in for a haircut at any U.S. Great Clips salon will receive a free haircut card to give to an active, inactive or retired military member of any branch, including the National Guard. Military members can also come in on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, for a free haircut or to pick up a free haircut card to use, with proof of military service.

The free haircut cards are redeemable all the way through the end of 2014. In 2013, the first year of the promotion, Great Clips salons na-

tionwide provided more than 130,000 free haircuts to veterans, and this year, they expect to give away even more.

“Most of us know at least one veteran we would like to thank on that day,” says Great Clips CEO, Rhoda Olsen, who is married to a Vietnam veteran. “We invite everyone to come into a U.S. Great Clips salon on Veterans Day to purchase a service and pick up a free haircut card. To help show appreciation for those who have served or are serving our country, give the card to veterans in your family, or neighborhood or just someone you notice is a veteran. It’s a simple, yet meaningful way for all Americans to say thank you to veterans with the help of Great Clips.”

Limit one card per customer (while supplies last). Must purchase a service to receive card.

Miller-Meeks stops in Newton as election nears

By Ty Rushing Newton Daily News With election day looming, Republican Dr. Mariannette MillerMeeks is hitting the campaign trail hard in her bid to upset Dave Loebasck, her incumbent Democrat opponent in hopes of becoming Iowa’s Second District Representative in the U.S. House.

During a marathon day of appearances Friday, Miller-Meeks brought along U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley and former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina to endorse her while they met with local candidates and sup-

porters at Bridgehouse Coffee in Newton.

“It’s time for us to put people over policy and politics. To put common sense over nonsense. And to inspire us to be our best selves.

“Because we in fact are a great nation of great people and we have found over the past six years that hope does not come from the government, but the government shouldn’t stand in the way of hope either,” Miller-Meeks said.

Miller-Meeks presented herself as the type of candidate who could go about bringing the positive benefits of how Io-

wa’s government is run to the federal level. The candidate also spoke on the benefits of smaller government, which was a point Grassley reiterated when he spoke.

As she was wrapping up her stop, Miller-Meeks blasted the Obama Administration and vowed to help make things better if elected.

“We need to send a check and balance to this government that they are not — with executive authority — able to do anything and everything that they want to do. This is in fact still a nation of, for and by the people,” Miller-Meeks said.

Koenen Chiropractic donates to Salvation Army

Submitted Photo Koenen Chiropractic Clinic recently donated more than 200 pounds of food and $300 in cash donations to the Salvation Army food pantry. The donations came from the clinic’s annual patient appreciation days. Patients were given discounts on services for bringing in canned goods. Several local businesses also donated prizes for patients.

Pictured, from left, are Captain Mikey Carter from the Salvation Army, Amanda Fifer and Dr. Jay Koenen from Koenen Chiropractic Clinic.

By Abigail Pelzer Daily News Editor

www.newtondailynews.com |Monday | Nov. 3, 2014

The last several weeks I’ve felt toward the midterm election the way a child feels toward a long road trip — are we there yet?

Almost. Thank goodness.

Along with many others, I’m tired of hearing it all. I’m almost exclusively watching DVR’d television. The recycling is growing tall with mailers. Even my beloved social media is less enjoyable these days.

Then there are my responsibilities at work. You Jasper County folks are letter writers.

Over the last several months I’ve processed dozens of letters to the editor about the election. I have always established a cutoff date for letters regarding the election. I think it’s important we give voters an opportunity to breathe before they hit the polls, for those who are still doing it that way.

(Personally, I love absentee vot-

ing. The past two elections I’ve voted at home, in my pajamas.

God bless America.)

When deadline day approached for letters, I couldn’t have been more surprised to discover I had more than 20 letters left to run. I’m used to something more close in size to a handful.

While somewhat burdensome for me, I was thrilled to see people want to express themselves. They have reasons for supporting their candidates and they want to share them. I think it’s important we consider other’s points of view and experiences with elected officials. It’s another way to gather the facts and make informed decisions. Next election, I will be fully prepared for the very active voices in Newton and Jasper County.

Next up — Election Day, or more appropriate for us journalists, Election Night.

It will be all hands on deck at the Newton Daily News, and I’m somewhat excited about it. This will be the first major event we’ll all tackle, and I always treat my hardworking staff to a time-honored tradition of Election Pizza. At my former post I was required to adhere to pork-free toppings on one of the pizzas. Sometimes when you’re amped up for the big night, you forget that pepperoni is pork and you’re teased about it until the next election cycle. It happens.

We’re also pleased to be offering live election results on the Daily News website. Tuesday night our Election Central page, which has featured candidate profiles and election stories, will also include results as they come in for our local races.

When can you expect results? It depends, of course.

Polls close at 9 p.m. and the best case scenario is we’ll have

results by 10. But because it’s Election Night, you never know when you’re going to have to grab another slice of pizza and just wait.

For the record, Tina Mulgrew, who works alongside Jasper County Auditor Dennis Parrott, made no promises about when we’ll get results — smart woman.

Having worked a number of election nights, I understand it’s just too chancy to hand out any kind of expectations— from a precinct runner with a flat tire to the secretary of state’s website crashing — anything is possible.

What I can promise is comprehensive coverage of what’s cracking up to be a pretty exciting local election.

We’re almost there.

Letters to the Editor

Iowa teacher training programs failing Sue Atkinson Baxter The annual yearly progress reports show Iowa schools failing to improve student proficiency results for all demographic groups. Provably false statements by school administrators are attempts to avoid accountability as well as try to recruit the public in their quest to stop the accountability.

One of the most widely used falsehoods profiles, stereotypes, and discriminates against students, using them as scapegoats (thus violating their civil rights) in spite of the fact students have no control over the curriculum, the materials used, or the lack of effective teaching skills.

In yet another international report this September, analyzing U.S. public education, a 37-page OECD study found in countries out-educating us: “There is al-

Long live rock and roll

Sheri and Calvin Pherigo Newton I was hoping to see front page coverage of our local talent that took place recently. Dennis Farland put together the 8 Track

most no relationship between income inequality in countries and the impact on socio-economic background in learning outcomes. Some countries succeed, even under difficult conditions, to moderate the impact of socioeconomic background on educational success.”

Contrary to the U.S., there are no achievement gaps where the teachers are trained to effectively teach the concepts required in education, and those countries are actually moving ahead of the 65th NPR as grade level by only hiring teachers trained to effectively teach concepts. Iowa schools are unable to achieve student proficiency up to the 41st NPR, even when new materials contain the concepts to be taught, because of the utter failure to train the teachers to effectively teach these, choosing to continue relying on memorizing sight words (a proven failure).

According to the National Council on Teacher Quality 2014

report, Iowa teacher training programs fail to include courses in all five of the reading concepts required for the science of reading; “elementary teacher candidates are not required to pass a science of reading test to ensure knowledge of effective reading instruction, and preparation programs are not required to address this critical topic…. [T]he state does not ensure that its elementary teacher candidates are adequately prepared to teach the rigorous content associated with these standards.”

Tutorial services, as well as other countries, do not use sight words, and they teach all students up to grade level. Private tutorial services can increase grade level proficiency by at least two years in thirteen weeks of three hours each week.

Schools using sight words lack the skills to do the job, thus validating the findings of the 2014 NCTQ report. What other occupation allows you to refuse to update your skills and still keep your job?

I’m told that the public is “angry” at today’s politicians. Eighty-two percent disapprove of the job Congress is doing.

So will Tuesday’s election b r i n g a big shakeup?

N o .

CongresBy John sional Stossel reelection rates never drop below 85 percent.

The last big “wave” election was 1994, when Democrats lost control of both houses. The media called it a “revolution,” and the late Peter Jennings from ABC likened Americans to 2-year-olds throwing a tantrum.

Even that year, the reelection rate was 90 percent.

Matt Kibbe of the group FreedomWorks and Hadley Heath Manning of Independent Women’s Forum came on my show to say they don’t believe that this will be the year voters “throw the bums out.”

Incumbents have all sorts of built-in advantages, said Manning: “Once you’re in office, you have network ties, usually with a big party organization, usually with other officeholders.

You have ties to donors who have helped you in your previous round of fundraising.”

In the U.S., she says, “we don’t have kings, (but) we still have political dynasties.”

Politicians in office game the system to make it tougher for outsiders to challenge them. They always talk about getting money out of politics.

They don’t mean getting taxpayer money out of their own end of politics — all those privileges such as government mailings and websites and broadcasting facilities right in the Capitol Building. No, the money they want to limit is outsiders’ money.

When Rep. Nancy

Pelosi (D., Calif.) says “this money is suffocating the airwaves, silencing the voices of the many,” she means she wants to prevent private groups funding political messages that sometimes criticize people like her.

Expensive TV ads might allow unknown challengers to break through.

Can’t have that.

Manning says Democrats who now push the idea of a Constitutional amendment to limit campaign ads “want to rig the system so that their donors are still able to give — whether that’s labor unions or people who typically support Democrats — but they want to silence the opposition.”

They make it sound as if labor union donations are a natural part of the democratic process — but money from corporations and independent interest groups, by contrast, “interferes” with elections.

Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) led the charge against evil “outside” money when he got what he and reporters called campaign finance “reform” passed a dozen years ago. The Supreme Court wisely threw much of that out, because it was an attack on free speech. But there are still a million rules left — plenty to discourage “amateurs” from attempting to participate in politics.

“The problem with campaign finance regulation is it allows for an insane amount of discretion amongst the regulators,” says Kibbe. “So they can pick and choose who is punished for what. And it’s really just a way to control political speech.”

A better way to get new blood into politics would be term limits on elected officials.

Several states have them, and the result has been more turnover in legislatures. That’s good news for taxpayers because studies show that the longer politicians are in office, the more they spend.

Grandfather’s to-do list creates special family day DEAR ABBY: I am a 62-year-old grandfather of a 5-year-old granddaughter. The other day I had her for the entire day. I decided to make a list of the things we were to accomplish throughout the course of the day. It turned out to be a great success. After completing each task, she would ask, “What’s next on the list?”

The first item, No. 1, was to do our “strong” (that’s what we call exercise). No. 2 was to write her alphabet and numbers.

No. 3 was to “go on an adventure” (that’s what we call walking the dog and exploring the nearby field).

Nos. 4, 5 and 6 — go to the bank, get the car washed, then go to the park to swing, slide, etc. After the park, she asked if we could go to our favorite restaurant across the street. I replied, “How did you know that was next on the list?” Her expression was priceless.

After lunch we went home and did No. 8 — another adventure, which was take the dogs for a walk again. No. 9 was painting time (what 5-year-old doesn’t like to paint?). After cleaning up it was time for No. 10, wash the dishes and Swiffer the floor. No. 11 she could choose something to do. We spent the next two hours playing with her dolls.

At about 5:30 my daughter came to pick her up from an exhausted grandpa.

Lists will be part of our routine from now on. I slept like a log that night and hope to have many nights and days just like it in the future. — GRANDPA ROBERT IN LEXINGTON, KY. DEAR GRANDPA ROBERT: Your grandchild is lucky not only to have such a loving and dedicated grandpa, but also one with your stamina. I sometimes hear from grandparents — and other adults — who ask me for suggestions about how to better connect with their young children.

Your letter is a road map that will take them in the right direction.

DEAR ABBY: During one of their “stay up all night drinking beer and talking” sessions six months ago, my husband,

“Ralph,” and his best friend of more than 20 years, “Jim,” had a huge fight. They haven’t spoken since.

Ralph has tried at least three times to contact Jim by phone and email with no response. If Ralph’s version of the story is true, they both behaved badly. Ralph has sincerely tried to apologize, but Jim refuses to speak to him.

It breaks my heart to see how much this has upset my husband. I am still Facebook friends with Jim, and every time I see him online I’m tempted to say something to him, but so far I have resisted. Would it be crossing the line for me to reach out and see if he’ll talk to me about this? Or should I stay out of it?

— HOPEFUL PEACEMAKER IN ARIZONA DEAR HOPEFUL PEACEMAKER: I know you mean well, but it would be a mistake to put yourself in the middle. Whatever happened between your husband and his friend must have been a doozy.

You state that this happened during one of their all-night drinking and talking sessions. To me this indicates that one or both of them may have alcohol issues that need to be addressed. This is what should be mentioned, but only to your spouse. If the loss of his long-standing friendship has been painful enough, he may be willing to listen.

Sheriff: Iowa girl injured in grain wagon accident VINTON — The Benton County Sheriff ’s Office says a 12-year-old girl has been critically injured after falling into a grain wagon.

Deputies say the girl and a 9-year-old child were playing on the wagon on Sunday afternoon as the girl’s father was unloading it. They say she was nearly suffocated in 600 bushels of corn.

First responders were able to remove her from the wagon and no other injuries were reported.

2 Fire burns nearly 5 acres of Fort Dodge park

FORT DODGE — Firefighters have extinguished a blaze that burned through nearly 5 acres of a city park in Fort Dodge.

The two-alarm fire broke out on Sunday at Oleson Park. Fort Dodge Fire Chief Kent Hulett says it took a little more than two hours for 13 firefighters to put out the flames.

No structures were burned and no injuries were reported.

More people voting early in 10 states than in 2010 The Associated Press ATLANTA — More people have voted early in 10 states than in 2010, and Republicans and Democrats alike say the numbers show they have the advantage in key Senate and gubernatorial races heading into Tuesday.

Perhaps nowhere is the debate over who benefits from the early turnout more fierce than in North Carolina, where Democratic Sen. Kay Hagan is seeking a second term.

Her race with Republican challenger Thom Tillis, the state house speaker, is among the matchups that will decide whether Republicans will pick up the six seats they need to retake control of the Senate.

Registered Democrats in the state have out-voted registered Republicans by almost 16 percentage points through Sunday, casting 47.6 percent of the 1.15 million early ballots. The overall total is up by almost 200,000 votes from 2010.

Ben Ray, a spokesman for the Democrats’ joint campaign office in North Carolina, said the gap exceeds Democrats’ 9-point advantage at this point in 2010. The raw numbers also give Democrats reason for optimism, as both blacks and women make up a larger share of the early vote than in 2010, when Republican swept statewide races in the state.

Blacks, who support Hagan by an overwhelming margin, have cast about a quarter of the early vote, compared to 21 percent in 2010.

Women have cast 55 percent, two points higher than 2010.

But Republicans counter they also faced a 16-point early voting gap in 2012, but rallied on Election Day to give Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney a 2-point win over President Barack Obama. Said GOP spokesman Michael Short, Democrats “are going into a hostile Election Day scenario without the margin they wanted.”

About 16 percent of early North Carolina voters — 183,523 so far according to an analysis by Democrats — did not vote four years ago. Ray said just more than half are Democrats, while almost 26 percent are Re-

publicans and the rest are unaffiliated.

Nationally, at least 16.4 million ballots have been cast in 31 states, according to a tally conducted by The Associated Press. The figures include in-person early voting and mail-in ballots that have been returned.

Four years ago, 26.9 million out of 89 million overall votes, or about 30 percent, were cast away from traditional precincts.

Along with North Carolina, the 10 states included Arkansas, Georgia, Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, Maryland, Montana, North Carolina and Utah.

Here’s a look at early voting in some those states: IOWA Both parties have increased their totals from 2010, but there are more registered Republicans voting early than registered Democrats — 21,200 to 8,500.

The GOP has closed the Democrats’ overall advantage to 1 percentage point, leaving them confident in the chances of their Senate nominee, Joni Ernst.

SAC CITY — A judge has agreed to move the first-degree murder trial of a Georgia man charged in the death of his former roommate in Iowa.

John Green’s trial will be moved from Sac City to Fort Dodge in Webster County. The trial is set for Dec. 8.

Green’s public defender had argued that pretrial publicity would make it impossible for Green to receive a fair trial in Sac County. Green is accused of killing 58-year-old Mark Koster, of Sac City.

WATERLOO — A deceased Iowa attorney is being accused of mishandling $64,000 before his death.

A claim was filed against David Alan Roth’s estate. The claim accuses Roth of taking $64,000 from a life insurance policy that he was supposed to invest.

Attorney Thomas Houser, who is handling Roth’s estate, says it is too soon to know if the allegations are true. The 51-year-old Roth was president of the Gallagher, Langlas and Gallagher firm.

5 Iowa authorities investigate fish kill

STACYVILLE— Iowa authorities are investigating a fish kill that was caused by manure from a hog confinement farm spilling into the Little Cedar River near Stacyville.

Restaurant offers discount for no cellphones The Associated Press SIOUX CITY — A northwest Iowa restaurant is offering its customers an incentive to put away their cellphones and talk to each other.

Sneaky’s Chicken promises a 10 percent discount to customers who give up their cellphones while eating dinner at the restaurant on Wednesdays.

Owner Dave Ferris and his daughter, general manager Christy Wright, came up with the idea after they noticed a decline in conversation among customers who seemed preoccupied with their cellphones.

Wright said nearly all their customers participate in the promotion by putting their phones in a box their server brings to the table.

“It was just something that we just wanted to see if we could

stop for a little bit and have people enjoy each other’s company more than their cellphones,” Wright said.

Paul and Jodi Speidel brought their 8- and 10-year-old daughters to the restaurant for the promotion two weeks in a row.

Ten-year-old Devaney Speidel said she didn’t mind giving up her cellphone.

“I’m rarely on it,” she said.

Paul Speidel said he’s got the biggest issue with his phone. Speidel is pastor at Westlawn Presbyterian Church and a Sioux City Community school board member who often browses social media sites and sends messages while eating with his family.

“I think it’s a great idea,” said Speidel, who is trying to make it a habit to ignore his phone during dinner.

Greta Siebersma said

“We just wanted to see if we could stop for a little bit and have people enjoy each other’s company more than their cellphones.”

— Christy Wright Sneaky Chicken manager

it wasn’t hard to give up her phone because she and her friends had already made a habit of putting their phones in the middle of the table when eating out.

The psychiatric nurse from Sioux City said she’s noticed how other people at the table seem

to feel ignored when someone is focused on their cellphone.

“I’ve see it too, where a couple is out to dinner together and they may both be on their cellphone,” Siebersma said.

“You say, ‘What’s the point? Why are you even bothering to go out?’”

Larry & Diana Ambroson Milk May Help Slow Osteoarthritis

A four-year study looked at about 2,000 people with osteoarthritis in at least one knee. According to Xrays of their knee cartilage, women who drank 1-3 glasses of low-fat milk per week had a 33% reduced risk of arthritis progression compared to women who drank none. Women who recorded having at least 7 glasses of low-fat milk a week had a 44% lower risk. The benefit may be due to milk’s calcium and vitamin D content. This study does not prove cause-and-effect, only an association. Also, the study did not show as much evidence for milk’s impact on arthritis in men.

The Right Choice For Iowa Senate PAID FOR BY BRUNTZ FOR SENATE

Local & State News Parrott

Continued from Page 1A When she was 21, Parrott married her first husband and they moved to Kirksville, Mo. for about three years, which marked her second stint away from the recorder’s office.

By the time she returned to Jasper County, Baker was out of office; however, Parrott caught the eye of the person who now held the recorder’s position.

Parrott was once again appointed as a deputy and when that person was ready to step down, she encouraged Parrott

www.newtondailynews.com |Monday | Nov. 3, 2014 | 9A

to run for the seat.

In 1978 — 12 years after her malt fetching days — Parrott ran for recorder for the first time and won. This is something she would continue to do in the ensuing decades to follow.

“I’ve ran nine times and have had opposition four of the nine, but ran successfully,” Parrott said.

Learning how to run for office is what made her first election so tough, Parrott said. Her 1986 race was perhaps the most challenging, she said.

“That one scared me the most. That one was make or

break. She (her opponent) was well known, well liked and a nice lady — I like her,” Parrott said. “They’ve all been different, every opponent has been different and I had a primary one time.”

It was in January that Parrott publicly announced she wouldn’t run for a 10th time.

Parrott’s time in the recorder’s office reflects just how much times and technology have changed.

Under her leadership, the office has evolved to fall more in line with modern practices.

From hand indexing and photocopying legal documents in

the late ‘70s, to today’s use of computer indexing and scanning system, Parrott has seen it all through.

She won’t officially stop serving as recorder until Dec. 31, but she’s already envisioning her post-government future. Parrott wants to spend more time with her husband — Jasper County Auditor Dennis Parrott — her 10 grandchildren and even take a creative welding class in Marshalltown.

Those plans aside, she is grateful for every chance she was given to get this point.

“I appreciate the opportunity given to serve Jasper County

and want to thank each of you for the wonderful support you have shown me over the years,” Parrott said.

“My tenure in the office would not have been possible wonderful staff, Linda Hammer, Laura Van Der Hart, Denise Allan and Patti Van Zee, and former long-time employees Leanna Kingrey and Thelma Carter. Each one made my job easier.”

A retirement party for Parrott and retiring Iowa Sen. Dennis Black will be held from 2 to 5:30 p.m. Nov. 14 in Room 203 or the Jasper County Courthouse.

Terminally ill Brittany Maynard takes her own life The Associated Press PORTLAND, Ore. — Brittany Maynard stuck by her decision.

The woman with brain cancer who revived a national debate about physician-assisted suicide ended her life Saturday by swallowing lethal drugs made available under an Oregon law allowing terminally ill people to choose when to die. She would have been 30 on Nov. 19.

Maynard had been in the spotlight for about a month since publicizing that she and her husband, Dan Diaz, moved to Portland from Northern California so that she could take advantage of the Oregon law. She told journalists she planned to die Nov. 1, shortly after her husband’s birthday, but reserved the right to move the date forward or push it back.

Maynard ended her suffering right on schedule after hinting at a possible delay in a video released last week.

“She died as she intended — peacefully in her bedroom, in the arms of her loved ones,” said Sean Crowley, a spokesman for the advocacy group Compassion & Choices.

Crowley said Maynard “suffered increasingly frequent and longer sei-

zures, severe head and neck pain, and stroke-like symptoms. As symptoms grew more severe, she chose to abbreviate the dying process by taking the aid-in-dying medication she had received months ago.”

The issue of physician-assisted suicide is not new, but Maynard’s youth and vitality before she became ill brought the discussion to a younger generation.

Working with Compassion & Choices, Maynard used her story to speak out for the right of terminally ill people like herself to end their lives on their own terms.

Maynard’s choice was not without detractors. Some religious groups and others opposed to physician-assisted suicide voiced objections.

“We are saddened by the fact that this young woman gave up hope, and now our concern is for other people with terminal illnesses who may contemplate following her example,” Janet Morana, executive director of the group Priests for Life, said in a statement after Maynard’s death. “Brittany’s death was not a victory for a political cause. It was a tragedy, hastened by despair and aided by the culture of death invading our country.”

The council approved the contract in April in the amount of $26,029. That amount included both the signs as well as the new vehicle wraps. Upcoming

projects the city hopes to accomplish include the entrance signs on First Avenue.

“One of the big things that we really want to get taken care of, and actually one of the things we started exploring when getting a new brand for the city, were the entrance signs located on First Avenue. We currently have entrance

signs on both sides, the east side and west side of town and I know that is a project that requires a little more design work then the small signs but that is something I would like to see get done in the coming months,” Umstead said.

Lost Purple Heart returning to New York soldier’s family The Associated Press ALBANY, N.Y. — Just a toddler when her father was killed in Vietnam, Robyn DeCuffa was devastated when his Purple Heart medal disappeared from her Syracuse-area home years ago.

“The medal was really all that I did have from my father,” said DeCuffa, a 51-year-old mother of eight from Cortland in central New York.

On Tuesday, DeCuffa and her mother will be reunited with Pfc. Thomas McGraw’s Purple Heart, awarded after his death in an ambush in Vietnam on Feb. 1, 1966, while serving in the Army’s 1st Cavalry Division.

Sarah Dallas, McGraw’s widow, gave DeCuffa her father’s Army medals and a photo album from his military service when she was 18.

Years later, the Purple Heart disappeared while she was living outside Syracuse, where her father grew up. DeCuffa said someone likely stole the medal, but she wouldn’t elaborate.

“It was a part of him I could physically hang on to,” she said. “It was devastating when it was missing.”

In the early 1990s, Jason Galloway found a Purple Heart on the playground at his suburban Syracuse elementary school. He later handed it in to the front office.

Although McGraw’s name was engraved on

the back, apparently no effort was made to return it to its owner.

When school ended for the year, the medal was given back to Jason, who brought it home.

Karen Galloway, Jason’s mother, said the medal mostly sat in a drawer in the kitchen of her family’s home in Liverpool. Every now and then, her husband would search the Internet in an effort to locate McGraw and return the medal, but had no luck finding any information.

“We didn’t put tons and tons of effort into it,” she said.

Then, last Christmas, the now 34-year-old Jason and his wife were visiting from the Washington, D.C., area. Galloway’s daughter-in-law

saw the medal and asked why the family had it since Jason, an Air Force veteran, hadn’t been wounded during his four-year service.

Told the story of how it was found at the school, Jason’s wife said it would be “cool” to find its owner. Weeks later, the daughter-inlaw called to say she had seen a local news story on Purple Hearts Reunited, a Vermont-

based organization that returns lost or stolen military medals to veterans or their families.

Karen Galloway contacted the founder, Zachariah Fike, who traced the medal’s origins and located DeCuffa, a manager for Capital Region Off-Track Betting, and Dallas, who lives in Mexico, New York.

“It almost feels like a miracle that this is being

returned,” said DeCuffa, whose second-oldest son is an Army veteran and whose second-oldest daughter is in the Air Force.

Fike will return the medal to DeCuffa and Dallas during a ceremony being held at the Cavalry Club, a former National Guard camp-turned-golf club in Manlius, outside Syracuse. Galloway and her husband plan to be there.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News With her eye on the prize, NCMP senior Rachel Prendergast churns the water in the Indianola YMCA pool during the 2014 regional 100-yard freestyle race Saturday. Prendergast turned in her fastest 100-yard time, 55.84 seconds, to capture the regional championship in the event, earning a trip to the 2014 state meet.

NCMP snares three regional championships Aquagirls qualify for 2014 state swim meet in five events

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

INDIANOLA — Not this time. Not in the final race of the day were the NCMP Aquagirls settling for second place to Waukee.

There was no hold-

ing back in the Indianola YMCA swimming pool for seniors Hannah Scotton and Rachel Prendergast and juniors Sydney Jenkins and Samantha Hedrick. Prendergast had an individual regional championship already in the 100-yard

freestyle. Hedrick and Scotton went 1-2 in the 100 butterfly. Jenkins placed fifth in the 50 freestyle and fourth in the 100 backstroke.

Buying into the team’s 2014 mantra — The Power of All of Us — Scotton, Prendergast, Jenkins and

Hedrick posted the fastest time in the race working together. Winning in a new pool record of 3 minutes, 39.77 seconds, the Aquagirls’ 400 freestyle relay team punched its ticket to the 2014 state swim meet.

“I knew the same girl

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News On the fly — Samantha Hedrick, NCMP junior, is not going to be caught as she blazed through the water to break her own pool record in the 100-yard butterfly during Saturday’s 2014 regional swim meet at Indianola’s YMCA. Hedrick won the regional championship.

who anchored the other two relays was swimming the anchor for Waukee in the 400. She had just out touched me twice, not this time,” Hedrick said, who turned in a blistering 51.49 final 100-yard anchor swim for the Aquagirls.

The Aquagirls stayed right with Waukee throughout the relay race. Scotton opened with a 55.40, then came Prendergast, who had turned in a personal-best 55.84 timing to win the regional 100 freestyle championship earlier.

“I had never gotten a 55 before (in a 100 freestyle), but today I got it in the 100 free then I had a faster time here (in the relay race),” Prendergast said. “I just told myself ‘don’t false start, don’t false start.’”

Prendergast’s second leg of the race was a 55.33. Jenkins took over in the water.

“I knew it was close and I knew I had to give it my all,” Jenkins said, who turned in a time of 57.55 seconds. “That little voice in your head tells you that your tired. You

have to ignore that, think positive thought and keep digging. This is great because we know we have a spot at state in this event.

There’s no waiting.”

Hedrick got the first touch in the final race.

“It’s an awesome feeling knowing everyone contributed on this one. I knew I had to go fast my first 50 and stay strong right to the end,” Hedrick said.

Hedrick powered her way to a 2014 regional championship in the 100yard butterfly Saturday.

She broke not only her own pool record set in September at Indianola, she set a new NCMP record in the event. Hedrick got to the wall just ahead of Scotton at the regional meet, in 57.11 seconds.

Scotton’s second-place time was 57.90 seconds and senior Sara Martin finished fifth in 1:02.09.

Scotton had the NCMP 100 butterfly record, 57.36, set in 2013.

Hedrick established the pool mark of 58.93 on Sept. 4.

Coen cracks top 10 at state cross country

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News FORT DODGE — Running in her third consecutive Iowa High School State Cross Country Championships, Newton junior Grace Coen traveled to Lakeside Municipal Golf Course in Fort Dodge with her sights set on a personal-best finish on the state’s biggest stage.

But recording a top 10 finish for the first time in Cardinal cross country history would have made Coen’s season a complete success.

Coen accomplished both of those goals on a cold, windy Saturday, placing ninth in the Class 4A girls’ race with a time of 14 minutes, 42 seconds.

She came in ranked 17th overall and bettered her sophomore finish by 18 places and her freshman mark by 16.

“Top 10 is all-state and that has been my goal since I have been watching cross country in middle school,” said Coen, who was 3.8 seconds faster than 11th place finisher Kate Smith of Ankeny Centennial.

“It feels good to accomplish that because I wasn’t quite sure I could do it.

“I came in here ranked 17th so I really just wanted to prove that I could run up there with the top girls.”

Coen definitely proved that.

She topped Waukee’s Rachel Brush, who came in ranked seventh, and Smith was ranked fifth. Sixth-ranked Emily Skopec of Iowa City West, 12th-ranked Vivian Broderick of Dowling Catholic, 13th-ranked Katelyn Moore of Ames, 14th-ranked Megan of Centennial and 16th-ranked Rachel Blagg of Marshalltown also finished behind Coen.

“She played it smart today. She stayed with who she needed to stay with and hung with the runners she ran with here at the Fort Dodge meet earlier this year,” said secondyear Newton coach Rachelle Tipton.

“Even if she improved from last year, that would have been marvelous. We wanted the top 10 finish and we knew she could do it.”

Pleasant Valley’s entire team missed the race due to food poisoning. It was ranked fifth as a team and the roster included defending champion and top-ranked McKenzie Yanek.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Newton junior Grace Coen (425) finished in ninth place at the Iowa High School State Cross Championships at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course in Fort Dodge. It was the first top-10 finish for a Cardinal runner in the history of the program, according to coach Rachelle Tipton.

Tigerhawk cross country completes 180 turn at state

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News FORT DODGE — The Colfax-Mingo girls’ cross country team has experienced quite a turnaround in the past seasons.

Four years ago, the Tigerhawks couldn’t even field an entire team. Saturday, they did much more than that, running in the annual Iowa High School State Cross Country Championships.

And not even a lastplace finish among 15 Class 1A teams or a cold, windy day would keep Colfax-Mingo’s seven runners from celebrating that impressive feat.

“This was an amazing experience for everyone,” said C-M coach Zach Tomas. “It was a great way to send out our five seniors. Going from not even being able to complete a team to a being a state qualifying team in four years is incredible.”

The 14th-ranked Tigerhawks and 10thranked Underwood both scored 337 points on the day, but Colfax-Mingo was pushed down to 15th because of a tiebreaker that involved the sixth runner.

Sophomore Dakota Hostetter, who came in ranked sixth in Class 1A, returned to her second state meet and placed 22nd overall to headline the Tigerhawk individuals. She crossed

the line in 15 minutes, 58 seconds, which was her second best time of the season.

“I wasn’t really happy with my finish,” said Hostetter, who was 13th as a freshman in 2013. “The pressure of

it all kind of got to me I think. It was harder for me to keep up with the packs this year.”

While the Tigerhawks themselves were part of some history at Colfax-Mingo, the 1A girls race also featured

a historic champion.

Griswold senior Rebekah Topham became the first-ever female runner to win four straight state individual titles when she crossed the line in 14:32.

Topham came in

ranked No. 2, but she was 26 seconds faster than top-ranked Gwynne Wright of Pekin.

Wright also was fourth and seventh in her first two years at state.

Fourth-ranked Shelby Rita Reicks of Turkey Valley was third, while ninth-ranked Alexis Cook of Missouri Valley and third-ranked Jasmine Staebler of Clayton Ridge rounded out the top five individuals.

Second-ranked Pocahontas Area took down top-ranked Pekin by 19 points in the team race.

Pocahontas Area placed three in the top 23 and scored 79 points, while Pekin landed three in the top 12 but no one else finished better than 66th as it scored 98 points.

Pekin has won has won four state titles and claimed three runner-up finishes since 2008.

All 15 teams competing in the team race were ranked.

Besides Dakota Hostetter, the Tigerhawk roster also includes five seniors — Kennedi Hostetter, Iva Moore, Bailey Pease, Sara Lahart and Cassie Craig — as well as junior McKinzie Tjaden.

Kennedi Hostetter, the only senior who has been out for cross country all four years, clocked her second-best time of the season with a 17:22 that put her in 83rd place.

“It was a lot harder than I expected, but it

was fun just to be able to run at state,” said Kennedi Hostetter.

“It’s tough competition.

The hills caught me off guard. I thought the course was flatter than it was.”

Moore came in 104th overall and was clocked in her second-best time of the year at 17:59.

Tjaden, also running her second-best time of the year, followed her with an 18:22 in 115th place.

The final three runners were Pease in 126th, Lahart in 129th and Craig in 130th.

Pease crossed the line in her personal-best time of 19:14, while Craig tied her best time with a 20:34. Lahart hit the line in 20:30.

“I felt like it went really well,” said Pease. “It was hillier than expected, but I had fun.”

Kennedi Hostetter got to experience the state meet last year when her younger sister Dakota qualified as a freshman. However, being able to run with Dakota in 2014 will probably be the most memorable cross country experience of her career.

“It was really fun.

Last year, I got to watch her so it was much better running with her,” said Kennedi. “Most of us are seniors, too, so it was nice to have us run our last meet at state.”

CMB’s Deutsch gets redemption in state meet encore “I came in a little shy of my goal, but it’s all right for my first year.”

Tipton’s Eric Lenz, who is ranked No. 1, won the 2A boys’ race in 16:09, while third-ranked Chase Smith of Garner-Hayfield/Ventura was second in 16:18.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News FORT DODGE — As a junior, Collins-Maxwell/ Baxter’s Mark Deutsch admittedly didn’t know what he was doing at the Iowa High School State Cross Country Championships.

He even said he may have been a little scared and a little caught up in the moment of running on the state’s biggest stage.

But when he got the chance to redeem himself as a senior on a cold and windy Saturday, Deutsch took full advantage at Lakeside Municipal Golf Course.

Deutsch finished 85th with a time of 18 minutes, 14 seconds a year ago but improved his position 54 spots and hit the line 49 seconds faster in his final race as a high school cross country runner during the boys Class 2A portion of the state meet.

“It wasn’t an incredible race by any means, but a solid race that I can finish my career with,” said Deutsch, who came in ranked 15th. “I got to run against all these guys and it was a good race.

“I couldn’t have ask for much more. I put in a lot of hard work this summer and this season and I am happy. It was a real solid year.”

And besides finishing in a better position and running a faster time, Deutsch also got to experience the state’s top meet with his teammate, Colin Thomson, who finished 53rd in his first-ever run at state.

“It made things a lot easier.

I had someone to go warmup with, I had someone to go stretch with and I had someone to do run offs with. It just felt like I wasn’t all alone out there,” said Deutsch of having Thomson there with him.

CMB coach Jerry Meinarts was pleased with both Deutsch and Thomson on Saturday.

Meinarts thought his top

runner may have gotten out a bit too fast, but hitting the line about 50 seconds faster than last year was a great feat.

“He is very competitive and he wanted to be in the 10-15 spot,” said Meinarts. “He got out fast with those guys. He said he got a little tight there about halfway through the race.

“He has had a great season and this time was really good for him. He competed well and got a little redemption from last year.”

Thomson ran his second fastest time of the season and even though he probably didn’t finish in the position that he wanted, Meinarts said he competed hard against the state’s top runners.

“For the first time here, he

ran really well and competed hard. I think he got stuck in some traffic about a mile in,” Meinarts said. “He struggled to get around guys who were slower.”

Also running in the Class 2A boys’ race was Prairie City-Monroe freshman Blaise Winegardner.

The 19th ranked Mustang came in with a steep goal of finishing around 16:40, but after the race was over, Winegardner was able to put his first-time experience at the state meet into perspective.

“It was good trying to run up with those older guys and seeing how it felt,” said Winegardner, who finished two positions behind Deutsch in 33rd. “There was a little bit more hills than I expected.

Running in her first-ever state meet, PCM senior Rachel Peter finally put together a solid finish to her cross country season.

The Mustang harrier came in ranked 30th and finished in 42nd with a time of 16:36.

But even though it wasn’t her best race, Peter still came away with an amazing experience to cap her senior season.

“It’s cool to be competing here,” Peter said. “I have worked hard the past four years. I have always made it in track but always had a terrible year in cross country.

“To actually be able to make it my senior year was awesome.”

Fifth-ranked Paige Holub of Monticello won the individual title with a time of 14:59. Holub bested thirdranked Becca McDermott of Cascade by 4 seconds.

Fourth-ranked Cascade (92 points) put three runners in the first seven positions, but second-ranked Monticello (63) had more depth in winning the team title by 29 points.

Class 1A boys Lynnville-Sully’s Canyon Kuhlmann was happy with his performance at the state meet, but also admitted he could have probably ran a little harder.

Competing at state for the second consecutive year, Kuhlmann came away with a 51st place finish with a time of 17:59.

“I feel like I could have pushed myself a little more. It was one of my best times, but

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe senior Rachel Peter (457) runs at the 2014 state cross country meet in Class 2A Saturday in Fort Dodge.

I thought I could have been better,” Kuhlmann said.

“It felt like it was more hillier than I remember. I am pleased, but it was tough race and the cold didn’t help.”

Kuhlmann finished 49th as a sophomore but will get one more year to improve on both of those positions in 2015.

“To make it two years in a row and to have another year to get back here is great,” said Lynnville-Sully coach Darin Arkema. “There will be no let up from him. I know that he will be out there working hard during track season and over the summer.”

Weisman leads Iowa past Northwestern IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz thinks the Hawkeyes’ traditionally strong running attack has finally found some traction.

Mark Weisman and Akrum Wadley combined for 200 yards rushing and four touchdowns, leading Iowa to a 48-7 win over Northwestern on Saturday.

The Hawkeyes, who have had a few injuries in the backfield, also got their first 100-yard rusher in 11 games.

“If we’re going to be any good, we have to run the ball effectively,” Ferentz said. “The run game is all about detail and execution. I think we took a step forward today.”

The Hawkeyes (6-2, 3-1 Big Ten) raced to a 24-0 lead in the first quarter and scored their most points in a conference game in almost nine years.

Northwestern (3-5, 2-3) dropped its third straight game after being held to a season-low 180 yards of offense.

Weisman and Wadley jolted Iowa’s running game that ranked 10th in the Big Ten entering Saturday’s game.

Weisman rushed for a season-high 94 yards and three touchdowns. It was the senior’s fifth straight game with multiple scores. The bruising back’s 29 career touchdowns rank third on Iowa’s all-time list.

“It’s a mindset thing,” said Weisman, a Chicago native. “We came out fired up and kept it going.

“This team has had the potential to do this kind of stuff all year, but we just weren’t executing. Today, we definitely executed.”

Wadley ran for 106 yards and a touchdown in his first career game. The freshman was Iowa’s first 100-yard rusher in 11 games.

Wadley provided an unexpected boost with Iowa’s Jordan Canzeri and LeShun Daniels sidelined due to injuries. The Hawkeyes lost a third running back, Jonathan Parker, on the opening kickoff.

“I’ve been having dreams about it, so

Weisman when (Ferentz) told me to go in, I was like, ‘Wow, that’s crazy,’” said Wadley, the first Hawkeyes player to rush for 100 yards in his debut since Brandon Wegher in 2009.

Iowa quarterback Jake Rudock threw for 239 yards, including a pretty 31-yard fade to Tevaun Smith in the end zone.

The Hawkeyes led 24-0 just 12 minutes into the game, using a stifling defense and an offense that clicked after being inconsistent the first half of the season.

Iowa’s defense was simply too much for Northwestern, which had won six of the last nine in the series.

The Hawkeyes recorded five sacks, scored off a blocked punt and recovered a fumble.

“It just looked like we got down and then all of a sudden we tried to make too many things out of one play,” Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said. “You can’t do that on the road against a physical football team.”

Weisman started the scoring with an 8-yard touchdown run on Iowa’s opening drive.

After Northwestern punted, Rudock’s

42-yard flea-flicker pass to a wide-open Matt VandeBerg set up a Marshall Koehn 48-yard field goal.

Weisman added a 14-yard TD run for a 17-0 lead with 5 1/2 minutes left in the first quarter.

Then, Iowa freshman Ben Niemann blocked a Northwestern punt and picked the ball up at the 1-yard line for an easy touchdown. It was the Hawkeyes’ first blocked punt since 2011 against Purdue.

The Wildcats’ only score came after Iowa flubbed a snap to the punter deep in its own territory.

Northwestern’s Justin Jackson ran for a 1-yard score four plays later, just a minute into the second quarter.

Jackson finished with 96 yards on 24 attempts.

Northwestern QB Trevor Siemian was under heavy pressure most of the game.

Siemian completed 8-of-18 passes for 68 yards. Iowa defensive tackle Louis Trinca-Pasat recorded a career-best three sacks.

The Wildcats managed only 55 yards in the first half and converted only four of 15 third-down plays. The 38-7 halftime deficit was Northwestern’s largest since trailing Wisconsin, 49-17, on Nov. 27, 2010.

Iowa safety John Lowdermilk forced a fumble late in the second quarter. The Hawkeyes quickly converted the turnover into a Weisman 8-yard touchdown run.

The Hawkeyes looked better defensively than they did two weeks ago against Maryland. Broken tackles and missed assignments led to a 38-31 loss.

Iowa has a lot to play for in the Big Ten West. The Hawkeyes travel to Minnesota (6-2, 3-1) in a pivotal game this week and finish the season against the other contenders, Wisconsin and Nebraska.

“We made some improvement there,” Ferentz said. “It’s going to be critical for us to continue to improve down the stretch here, too.”

Humbling loss forces Iowa State to look ahead AMES (AP) — Burn the tape. Dump the ashes. Forget it and move on to the next one.

Iowa State’s 59-14 loss to No. 19 Oklahoma on Saturday is one the Cyclones need to put as far behind them as possible.

“We’ve got to regroup as a team,” Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said. “We’ve got to do that immediately tomorrow as we go back to work.”

It wasn’t just the score or the Sooners’ 751 total yards that hurt. The Cyclones are getting beat up as well.

Middle linebacker Jevohn Miller, the team’s leading tackler, injured a knee when he was chop blocked on the game’s second play — an Oklahoma touchdown — and his status for the rest of the season is uncertain.

Nose guard Brandon Jensen, trying to get back from a knee injury suffered two weeks ago, went out after the first series and didn’t return. Cornerback Nigel Tribune, one of the Big 12 leaders in passes defended, did not play at all because of a groin injury.

Without Miller and Jensen clogging up the middle, the Sooners (6-2, 3-2 Big 12) gashed the Cyclones (2-6, 0-5) for 510 yards on the ground, their most since rushing for 518 against New Mexico State in 1989.

“They went after us and they

certainly got their production,” Rhoads said.

With all that happening to the defense, Iowa State needed a big game from its offense to have any chance of keeping up with the Sooners and that unit didn’t come through.

Quarterback Sam Richardson, coming off two straight games of 300-plus passing yards, never found his rhythm and his receivers dropped several passes that found their mark.

“It was pretty much plays not being completed, just miscommunication out there today,” said wide receiver D’Vario Montgomery, who caught a 59-yard pass for Iowa State’s second touchdown. “Today was just not our day for offense.”

Richardson threw for 239 yards, but he completed only 15-of-40 attempts and joined the injured list when he hurt his throwing hand on a pass in the fourth quarter. He’s expected to be ready for next Saturday’s game at Kansas.

“I would bet there were 20-plus pass plays where we either misfired with the ball or dropped it,” Rhoads said.

“Against a team like that, you’re needing every one of them. We misfired badly in the pass game today.”

Quarterback Trevor Knight led the Oklahoma rout, becoming the first FBS player

Montgomery this season to throw three TD passes and rush for three touchdowns in a game.

Knight had 230 yards passing, completing 22-of-35 throws, and a career-high 146 yards rushing as the Sooners beat the Cyclones for the 43rd time in their past 45 tries.

Oklahoma had 480 yards and a 35-7 lead at halftime, a promising sign ahead of next week’s matchup with Baylor in Norman.

But star wide receiver Sterling Shepard was carted off with an apparent leg injury in the first quarter and did not return.

It didn’t slow the Sooners in the least — and Iowa State helped with sloppy defense.

That and the struggles on offensive negated the Cyclones’ three interceptions.

“As a defense, we always want to have those takeaways,” linebacker Luke Knott said.

“But when we weren’t having takeaways, we were giving up long runs, long passes. It was unacceptable as a defense.”

It was so bad for the Cyclones that when they fooled Oklahoma completely with a fake punt, a wide open Qujuan Floyd dropped the pass from punter Holden Kramer.

Had Floyd caught the ball, the Cyclones might have had a chance to make things interesting. Instead, Oklahoma promptly drove for a touchdown to make it 35-7.

“Obviously it was there,” Rhoads said. “We’re down 28-7 and we’re going to end up inside the 20 at the very least, if not score on the play. There was still enough momentum and life in us at that time.

At 28-14 I would have been thrilled to see what we could have done.”

The last time Iowa State beat Oklahoma in Ames was in 1960 — three days before the presidential election between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon.

It didn’t take long for the Sooners to turn this one into another landslide over the Cyclones.

Johnson wins at Texas FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Jimmie Johnson won his third consecutive Texas fall race Sunday, when none of the eight championship contenders were able to clinch one of the final four spots in NASCAR’s Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Johnson emerged from a frantic finish, the second attempt at an overtime two-lap sprint to the finish after his teammate and Chase contender Jeff Gordon spun out from the front after contact with Brad Keselowski.

While Johnson celebrated his fourth victory at Texas and 70th Sprint Cup win overall, fireworks exploded in the sky — and on pit road.

An irate Gordon stopped his car right by Keselowski and confronted him. There were plenty of punches thrown in the melee, with NASCAR officials in the middle of crew members and others around the Keselowski’s No. 2 car.

The original building was built in 1963, with additions in 1984 and 2000/2001. It was also noted that elementary general education classrooms average 850 square feet, with middle school general education classrooms averaging 700 square feet.

For today's standards, elementary classrooms would be in the 950980 square feet range, with middle school classrooms in the 950 square feet range. The cost estimates do not include a change in classroom size, nor potential asbestos abatement.

Dave Briden (FRK) and Jack Suttek (Supervisor, Maintenance) were available to answer questions and to offer additional information on the Berg Complex.

Options for constructing a new building ($35 million - estimate) were also discussed which could take two years to complete.

The lunar change that splits the day will make it seem like two entirely different days.

The morning is ruled by a dreamy Pisces moon perfect for pulling ideas down from the ether with a mental butterfly net and feeling them out while the sky is lush with creative (and psychic) energy. The later part of the day is about action.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 3). The next 10 weeks feature a labor of love with people who love it as much as you do. When you get lost, just remember to work with what’s all around you. You don’t have to go anywhere. This month brings financial help, and next month is more about team building. A commitment in March will be life changing. Aries and Taurus people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 3, 19, 7, 20 and 15.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’re not striving for perfection, but you just might hit it anyway.

The pride of knowing

you’ve done a job to the best of your ability is the greatest reward.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). External incentives may temporarily work to keep you moving forward, but ultimately the only reliable motivation is the one that comes from within you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Though it is wondrous and rare to fall in love, you can celebrate falling in love at any time at all, relishing in the memory (or the fantasy, as it were) and savoring the details of the story.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). False words are evil. So is the silence of words that should be spoken but aren’t. You’re a crusader for good, and you’ll get help in finding the justice you seek.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You’d never know it by the amount of talking going on around you, but you have as much to say about the issue at hand as anyone else and every

bit of a right to say it. So speak up.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’re not going for sainthood. Your rebellious streak will show up — a little bit of badness goes a long way. Anyway, it’s easy to choose the good and right thing to do once you’ve exhausted all other options.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Those who stop to smell the roses will inspire those who stop to plant them. You’ll fall into both categories today, as you appreciate and nurture the beauty around you.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Truth-telling will be a feature of the day. You don’t mind arguing with loved ones who fight respectfully and fair. In fact, with the right intellectual sparring partner, arguing can be something of a hobby.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). If it’s not deep or dark, it’s really not a secret. And yet, privacy is important to you now.

There are things you’d

rather people didn’t know about you, if only because it’s none of their business.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

The very thing that bothers you about someone else can lead you to a greater understanding of yourself if you’re willing to follow it with an objective curiosity.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). There’s a group that sorely needs your input, and if you don’t make an appearance, you’ll be missed. You may not think you’re doing much, but you can bet that things will be different because of your presence.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Great connections are wound up in little scenarios. Personality is what it takes to open doors, but those doors won’t stay open unless there’s a fine character to match.

NCMP Continued from Page 1B

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News As Samantha Hedrick touched in the water her NCMP 400-yard relay teammates Hannah Scotton, Rachel Prendergast and Sydney Jenkins celebrate the regional victory and pool record Saturday.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News NCMP junior Sierra Griffth moves through the water to take fourth in the regional 100-yard breaststroke race Saturday at Indianola.

“It just feels like a fast pool,” Hedrick said of her success in the Indianola pool. “Coming into this weekend with a different mindset also had something to do with it. It’s pretty exciting (being a regional champion) and to know what I’ve been working for I as able to achieve today. Hannah, Sara and I push each other in practices and in competition and that’s a really good thing for all of us.”

Just after the butterfly race, NCMP claimed its second regional championship. Prendergast led a 1-3-5 finishing in the 100 freestyle race for the Aquagirls. Prendergast won the race in 55.84 seconds with freshman Madeline Webb placing third in 56.69 seconds and sophomore Emily Miller in fifth at 56.90.

“Coming into the meet seeded first in the 100 free was like ‘wow, this is real. it could really happen,’” Prendergast said. “I’ve really wanted to qualify in an individual event for four years.

I knew I had it in me, I just didn’t know when I’d do it. I just went out really strong and felt great throughout the race today.”

Waukee won the team championship with 494.5 points followed by NCMP with 439 points. Des Moines Roosevelt scored 414.5 points for third place.

Indianola had 200 points for fourth followed by Carroll with 158.5 points, Ottumwa with 139, Fairfield with 113.5, Council Bluffs Abraham Lincoln with 81 and Perry with 62 points.

NCMP placed 15 individuals on the regional podium — the top six

finishers — in the eight individual events. All three relay teams were on the podium.

“We had some great swims today. Finishing second as a team and being within 45 to 50 points of Waukee is a testament to these ladies and the depth of our team,” said Sarah Patterson, NCMP head coach. “Almost everybody had best times and our relays were fantastic.

To go out and win that last relay at the end was a lot of fun and a great way to finish a meet.”

Jenkins, Rhoads, Scotton and Hedrick opened the regional with a second-place finish in the 200 medley relay race in 1:51.13. Midway through the meet, Martin, Scotton, Miller and Hedrick combined for a new school record in the 200 freestyle relay race in 1:39.48 for second place. Martin, Scott and Hedrick were on the relay team with Carly Colville, which had the old mark of 140.26 set in 2013.

On Saturday evening, it was official the NCMP 200 medley and 200 freestyle relay teams’ times were fast enough to qualify for the state meet. It’s the second year in a row that NCMP has qualified all three relays for state.

Scotton joins Hedrick in the 100 yd butterfly qualifiers for state and Prendergast in the 100 freestyle.

“I can’t be happier for Rachel. She works so hard,” Patterson said.

“To watch her swim for four years and all that work pay off today is a big reason why we coach. To have Samantha and Hannah go 1-2 in the butterfly and both have 57s, that’s impressive. I don’t know of many teams that would have two swimmers re-

cord 57s in the fly.”

Prendergast and Webb placed fourth and fifth in the 200 freestyle in 2:04.51 and 2:05.42, respectively. Junior Elizabeth Myers finished seven in 2:07.60.

Rhoads was fourth in the 200 individual medley race in 2:19.64.

Miller placed eighth in 2:24.44 just in front of junior Sierra Griffith in 2:24.71. Griffith claimed fourth in the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:11.10, edging out Rhoads, 1:11.62, who was fifth. Martin took ninth in 1:12.66.

Jenkins finished fourth in the 100 backstroke in 1:03.81 and was fifth in the 50 freestyle in 26.18 seconds.

Freshman Alexis Stout was sixth in the 50 freestyle in 26:36 and junior Kaelee Knoll was 12th in 26.68. Knoll placed ninth in the backstroke in 1:07.90.

Senior Kira Hanson concluded her NCMP career with a seventhplace finish in the 500 freestyle race in 5:45.44 and taking eighth in the 100 backstroke in 1:06.22.

Sophomore Sarah Prendergast turned in a fifth-place performance in the 500 freestyle in 5:44.51 and Myers was ninth in 5:52.13.

“The girls were loose and relaxed all day and just went for it today.

The team camaraderie is amazing and we have good senior leadership,” Patterson said. “We’re excited to see who makes it to state on times and see where we’ll be seeded (for state) in those events we do qualify in.”

The Iowa girls’ state swim meet is Saturday at the Marshalltown YMCA. Contact Jocelyn Sheets at 641-792-3121 ext. 6535 or jsheets@newtondailynews.com.

Coen Continued from Page 1B That allowed someone other than Yanek to bring home the individual championship.

And that went to Des Moines Roosevelt’s thirdranked Megan Schott, who was fourth last year.

Schott passed secondranked Jordyn Kleve of Johnston in the final 25 meters and won with a time of 14:11.6.

Kleve, who came in undefeated and ranked second, was runner-up in 14:14.

Ninth-ranked Bailey Nock of Iowa City West wound up third, while Muscatine’s Brina Kraft, ranked eighth, was fourth and Urbandale’s Elyse Prescott, ranked fourth, finished in fifth.

Kleve helped top-ranked Johnston win its first-ever girls state title with 64 points.

The Dragons put their first five runners in the top 23 positions and held off secondranked Urbandale, which totaled 82 points.

Three J-Hawks were in the top 12.

Fourth-ranked Ames (102) was third thanks to three top 25 finishes.

One of the keys for Coen was her ability to remain near the top 10 the entire race. She found a runner to run with — Ames’ Caroline Marnin — and stayed as close to her as possible.

“It wasn’t my plan in the beginning but she was there for me to follow,” said Coen.

“Whenever you get going in the race, you always want to find someone that you can run with to keep you motivated. It was nice that she was there because it allowed me run with her the whole way.”

Coen was 25th as a freshman and 27th as a sophomore.
