Newton Fest recognized City approves 28E as Outstanding New Event agreement with Newton Daily News Newton Fest recently received an Iowa Tourism Award and was named the 2015 Outstanding New Event in the metro category by the Iowa Tourism Office and the Travel Federation of Iowa at its annual conference on Oct. 22.

The Iowa Tourism Awards recognize excellence in the tourism industry and are the highest honor given for tourism in the State of Iowa. The Outstanding New Event award is given to an event/festival that was first held within the last three years and has demonstrated excellence in supporting tourism in Iowa. In each award category, there is a rural winner for cities with a population of 10,000 or less and a metro winner for cities with a population of greater than 10,000.

“Newton Fest was spearheaded by a group of passionate com-

munity members with a strong desire to grow a sense of optimism in the Newton community,” said Nathan Unsworth, City of Newton administrative parks superintendent and co-chair of Newton Fest. “We are very proud of what we were able to accomplish in our inaugural year.”

The 2015 Newton Fest featured more than 30 events packed into a four-day festival and included live theater productions, historic re-enactments, downtown shopping deals, live music, kids activities, alumni events, the Iowa Sculpture Festival and more. Most events throughout the festival were free, and all were low-cost. More than 2,000 people participated in Newton Fest activities.

“Newton Fest set out to bring the community together, and it accomplished just that,” said Jessica Lowe, executive director

school district

of United Way of Jasper County and co-chair of Newton Fest 2015. “With youth activities, live music of all different genres, the wonderful art events, food, fun and a wonderful sense of pride in Newton, I can’t wait for Newton Fest 2016.”

Newton Fest was a collaborative effort between the City of Newton, Newton Chamber of Commerce, Newton High School Athletic Department, Newton Alumni Association, Weekend Pit Stop, Newton Convention and Visitor’s Bureau, Iowa Sculpture Festival, Iowa Speedway, Newton Community Theater, American Legion Newton Post 111, Newton Daily News, KCOB Radio, Young Professionals of Jasper County, Project Awake and DMACC Newton Campus.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A 28E agreement between the City of Newton and the Newton Community School District was approved at the city council meeting on Monday. The agreement gives maintenance guidelines for properties owned and used by both institutions.

In the past, the city and school district have shared the use and maintenance costs of several athletic facilities, often through verbal agreements, city administrator Bob Knabel said. It was decided it was benefi-

cial for both the city and school district to have a written agreement when utilizing tax dollars on property owned by others.

“I think it is really valuable that we have a formal written agreement because I know there has been some hesitation on both ends in terms of changes.

This looks like it will give ownership to the proper party,” council member Evelyn George said.

George did note the city has to approve many improvements and asked what a major improvement would be.

Metro, Newton airports following FAA funding legislation

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News As the Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act moves through Congress in the months ahead, airports of all sizes will be following the process to see how they’ll be affected by the end decisions.

Those airports not only include the expanses of runways and terminals at O’Hare, JFK and LAX, but also at smaller facilities such as Des Moines International or even Newton Municipal Airport.

“We’re always monitoring that sort of thing,” said Ethan Nasalroad, president of Johnson Aviation, which runs the Newton airport. “We do our best to make sure the voice of small airports, and airports in general, is heard.”

The bill, which is supposed to be completed by the time an extension

runs out in March 2016, will include complex funding for major commercial airports, but will also be counted upon for funding for competitive grants for smaller airports as well.

The Newton Municipal Airport received a grant for snow removal equipment in April 2015.

The Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Bill that was enacted in February 2012 authorized appropriations to the FAA from Fiscal Year 2012 through Fiscal Year 2015.

Kevin Foley, the executive director and general manager of Des Moines Airport, said the battlegrounds for airport funding are not typically state-capitol buildings or city council chambers, or even voting booths; it’s in Congress.

“We think we have the entire Iowa (Con-

Iowa harvest remains ahead of five-year average, secretary says DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented on the Iowa Crops and Weather report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service.

“Harvest continues to advance, but has been slowed significantly by the rainfall that has rolled through the state over the past couple of weeks. Fortunately, harvest remains at or ahead of the five-year average and with

warm temperatures and dry weather in the forecast for the first part of this week that will likely continue. Farmers that have finished harvest have started other fall activities including drilling cover crops, conservation practice construction, installing and repairing tile, tillage, and other activities,” Northey said.

Harvest and fieldwork activities were dampened due to rain during the week ending

Nov. 1 according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Farmers used the 4.2 days suitable for fieldwork to harvest corn for grain, harvest soybeans, work on fall tillage, install and repair tile and terraces, and apply dry fertilizer. Other activities included baling corn stalks, as well as manure hauling and spreading.

Eighty-five percent of the corn crop for grain has been

harvested, 10 days ahead of last year, and two days ahead of the five-year average. Ninety-six percent of the soybean crop has been harvested. Although farmers in southwest and south central Iowa were able to harvest 10 percent of their soybean crop during the week, those were the only areas of the State where over 10 percent of the soybean crop remains to be harvested.

Grain movement from farm

to elevator was rated 57 percent moderate to heavy. Off-farm grain storage availability was rated 78 percent adequate to surplus. On-farm grain storage availability was rated 69 percent adequate to surplus.

Hay and roughage supplies were rated 97 percent adequate to surplus. Livestock conditions were described as excellent, with reports of cattle being turned out to graze corn stalks.

Grain Prices The Iowa Department of Agriculture/USDA Market News closing cash grain bids offered to producers as of 1:30 p.m. Friday are listed below. Prices are in dollars per bushel, delivered to Interior Iowa Country Elevators.

US 2 Yellow Corn Prices were mostly 2 cents higher for a state average of $3.47.US 1 Yellow Soybean Prices were generally 5 to 8 cents higher for a state average of $8.27.

Yellow Corn — In the North Central region, the average range was $3.39 to $3.49 with an average of $3.44. In the South Central region, the average range was $3.41 to $3.65 with an average of $3.48.

Yellow Soybeans — In the North Central region, the average range was $8.16 to $8.26 with an average of $8.20. In the South Central region, the average range was $8.23 to $8.31 with an average of $8.26.

Corn basis to state average price for the CBOT DEC contract is -.35, and soybean basis for the CBOT NOV contract is -.57. This report was prepared by the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Extremely light rainfall in October in Jasper County and much of the rest of Iowa allowed most farmers to start and finish harvest without much delay. A regional soil health specialist with the Natural Resources Conservation Service in Des Moines said farmers should resist the temptation to till the soil to allow any additional moisture to infiltrate.

Fall tillage temptation high after dry October Soil health specialist says leave dry land alone

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Light rainfall in October throughout much of Iowa allowed most farmers to start and finish harvest without much delay. If conditions remain dry this fall, many farmers may be tempted to till the soil to allow any additional moisture to infiltrate.

Not so fast, said Doug Peterson, a soil health specialist with the USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service in Des Moines.

Peterson, who recently added Iowa to his Missouri duties as a regional soil health specialist, said it’s a common misconception that fall and winter tillage will help bring moisture into the ground. He said tilling the soil will actually accelerate the drying process and cause soil to erode more easily.

The combination of high winds and warmer-than-normal temperatures wastes water if soils aren’t covered.

“We’ve lost about two-thirds

of our top soil due to erosion,” Peterson said. “That cannot continue. Some places in Iowa and Missouri are already lost in terms of so much topsoil gone, the land isn’t cropland anymore.”

Peterson said within the parts of Missouri that have cropland, the percentage of farmers who are growing cover crops has gone up dramatically over the past few years. However, it’s still in the single digits in percentage of total farmers.

“Cover crops have taken off faster than any practice I’ve seen in my 28 years with the NRCS,” Peterson said. “It’s nothing to see 300 producers, who rarely are eager to try new things, at a cover-crop presentation now.

But we’ve still got a long, long way to go.”

Peterson said cover crops not only reduce costs and keep nutrients in the topsoil, but also prevent erosion — keeping usable soil on the farm, and keeping nitrates and pesticides from getting into river water in ways that contribute to the Des Moines Water Works lawsuit and other

cities-versus-farmers battles.

“This all adds up to more water infiltrating into the soil and less evaporating into the air,” Peterson said. “Cover crops can provide some immediate benefit, but many benefits are down the road. A lot of people want to see a benefit right now.”

The specialist said it makes a big difference if there is a leader of the no-till and cover-crop causes in a particular area. Having a state or county official promote these elements helps — having a private businessperson driving the message is even better.

“Some counties have at least one producer that’s leading the charge,” Peterson said. “That’s probably one of the reason we’ve seen a dramatic change with cover crops. It’s one thing for the government to tell you something’s a good idea; it’s quite another for another farmer to testify that it works.”

Farmer corn trade lawsuits against Syngenta reach 2,000 DES MOINES (AP) — About 2,000 farmers, grain handlers and corn exporters have filed lawsuits against Swiss biotechnology company Syngenta now that a federal judge has ruled their cases have merit to move forward.

The lawsuits allege Syngenta’s introduction of a new genetically modified corn seed in 2011 interrupted trade with China and harmed the market for U.S. corn by depressing the commodity’s price. That cost the U.S. corn industry an estimated $1 billion to $3 billion.

On Sept. 11, U.S. District Judge John Lungstrum denied Syngenta’s motion to dismiss the case rejecting the company’s argument that it had no duty to protect the farmers and other agribusinesses that handle and trade corn. A federal court panel decided in December to consolidate all of the Syngenta cases in Lungstrum’s court in Kansas City, Kansas.

More than 1,860 cases have been transferred from 22 states, including 1,300 cases from Minnesota.

Since Lungstrum’s decision in early September hundreds more lawsuits have been filed including more than 200 in South Dakota and more than 300 in Iowa.

The dispute centers around Syngenta’s sale of Agrisure Viptera, a seed genetically altered to contain a protein that kills corn-eating bugs such as earworms and cutworms. The U.S. Department of Agriculture approved it in 2010, and Syngenta first sold it to farmers in 2011.

China, a growing importer of U.S. corn that refuses to buy genetically modified crops it hasn’t tested, had not approved Viptera when Syngenta began selling it.

In November 2013, China discovered the Viptera corn trait in several U.S. shipments and began rejecting U.S. corn imports in February 2014. The lawsuits say the Chinese rejected more than 131 million bushels.

Syngenta attorney Michael Jones said it’s not surprising Lungstrum allowed the case to proceed at this early stage. After each side conducts interviews and fact gathering to build their case, there will be another point at which Syngenta may file a summary judgment motion asking the judge to dismiss the case.

“The property the city owns, we need to have knowledge or say if there are improvements to that property such as putting up new buildings or major improvements so it is done with our master planning,” Public Works Director Keith Laube said. “The same with the school property, for example the hike and bike trail, we’re not going to do any extensions in the Children’s Forest, we’d have the school’s permission before we would do that.”

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

Robson is a longtime Newton resident. She is married to Newton native, Chad Robson who, for the past seven years has led one of our most popular early morning classes — boot camp. Together, they are raising five children ranging from ages 15 to 23. Working back in her hometown community will afford the Robsons more time to do what they love the most — spending time together as a family.

Robson serves as faculty for the YMCA of the USA for multiple certifications. Her knowledge, experience, dedication and enthusiasm along with her passion for developing and maintaining a diverse selection of exercises classes will be an asset to our entire organization.

The school district will continue to schedule and collect rent from any third party users with the rates set by the city. The money collected will be used by the school for maintenance costs.

As previously agreed, at the tennis courts in Aurora Park, each party was pay for 50 percent of the cost of pavement overlays, applications of colored surface and the fences surrounding the court. The city is responsible for the lights, bleachers and ground maintenance.

The city will also

give priority scheduling for the use of the tennis courts at Maytag Park for team practices and tournaments.

The city will continue to maintain the section of the hike and bike trail known as the Children’s Forest that is located on school property south and west of the high school.

Newton school district golf teams may use the Westwood Golf Course during the golf season at a cost of $1 per round. The school and the golf professional will work together to ac-

commodate tee times for both the golf team and public golf patrons.

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

ed and deposited in the Airport and Airway Trust Fund, we must protect these funds and budget from Sequestration or FAA Operating uses.

• Continue to fully fund the Non-Primary Entitlement for general-aviation airports.

Foley is also battling for funding to replace Des Moines’ outdated terminal. It will take an

estimated $400 million, and one proposal is to raise the airport’s Passenger Facility Charge from $4.50 per airline passenger to $8.50.

“The push-back on this is not from passengers,” Foley said. “I haven’t talked to anyone who wouldn’t chip in an extra $4 to have a modern airport here.

The push-back is from the airlines, who fight to have added costs built into each ticket.”

Nasalroad said aviation is unique in that many fees and surcharges collected stay in the industry, rather than go into a general government tax-money pool for use on everything from the bureau-chief salaries to road repair.

He also said the amount of different systems Foley’s Des Moines airport management must focus on is much different from Newton’s focus, and it’s easy to see why the funding streams are understandably different as well.

“It’s really apples and oranges,” Nasalroad said. “The state helps us with things like painting runways and forecasting and monitoring

the weather, but a big airport like Des Moines, with all those commercial flights, they’re spinning a lot more plates.”

Foley said it’s tough to gauge how the Reauthorization Bill will go in terms of dollars distributed, and how fast major facts will emerge.

“It’s Congress, and you know how fast it moves,” Foley said.

The Des Moines director encourages the public to do something he himself has done: write to members of Congress and make known their thoughts about airport funding.

Foley has composed letters and has made his case whenever possible; he made a pitch for the new Des Moines terminal at an April round-table meeting with U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst.

“If you don’t want to support big airports in larger cities, know that a strong Reauthorization Bill will help Des Moines, too,” Foley said. “And it will also help support the smaller airports, too.”

Keeping Me on My Toes

Call me crazy

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Nov. 3, 2015

For the past three weeks I have been participating in an activity I never thought I would do: 5 a.m. work out classes.

Sometimes I think I am having an out-of-body experience hearing my alarm go off at 4:30 in the morning to purposefully get up and do physical activity.

It began with my friend asking me about four weeks ago if I wanted to try the class out at the beginning of its next session. Because we were communicating through text, I thought about it for a while and went over some pros and cons of getting up that early. I finally decided to give it a try.

My activity level isn’t at any highs, and I’m not getting any younger with my first post-30 birthday coming up in a couple of weeks.

Seeing that I had chosen to do this, it made it that much sillier that I was dreading the thought of getting up for days before our first session. Truth be told, I wasn’t too worried about the work out part of the deal. I don’t mind exercising and welcomed the activity in my life. It was totally about the mornings.

I have never been a morning person. I don’t know how I got up for 6 a.m. drill team practice while in high school before completing a full day of classes and usually some sort of nightly activity. When in college, I scheduled my classes to start no earlier than 9 a.m.

(I had to drop my one 8 a.m. class because I missed the first three classes and knew it wasn’t going to work out.) My senior

year I even pulled off no classes before noon.

I was hoping that once I started my working life I would become more of a morning person. Unfortunately, that never really panned out and I still choose sleep over everything except for my kids in the morning.

The first day at Real Fitness was interesting. I have never done kick boxing before and had little to no idea what we would be doing. It was great having my friend there, too, because she had never done it before either, so if we went down, at least we would go down together.

I had to borrow boxing gloves the first day and set to kicking the stuffing out of a bag along with many push-ups, sit-ups and various other ways to make

my body feel 10 years older than what I am. Ibuprofen was my best friend the next day, but we were back at again the next two days before I decided to take Friday off to catch up on a little sleep.

I have to say I feel really good the days I work out. If I can get home and get a little rest before starting my day it is even better, but I feel like I have accomplished something before the sun has even come up. As long as my friend is there to push me to go, I plan to continue working out while the moon is still in the sky, but I might need a little extra encouragement when the snow falls.

Do we really honor our veterans?

State View

Outdated workplace policies are holding families back Families are working harder than ever to make ends meet, send their children to college and save for retirement.

The earnings of women are central to meeting these goals.

Women are the sole breadwinners in more than 40 percent of families. Two-thirds By Dan Kelley Iowa of all households Representative with children under 18 are headed by women who are either the primary or co-breadwinners, yet women working at all income levels tend to be paid less. On average, women are still earning just 78 cents on every dollar that a man makes. This is wrong.

Our economy hasn’t caught up to reality yet. It’s not 1958.

It’s 2015. Outdated workplace policies are holding families back. That has to change because it holds all of us back.

We’ve all got a stake in ending gender discrimination in pay.

Women make up about half of our workforce. When women make less than men, it hurts their families. They’ve got less to get by on. It hurts local businesses because their customers have less to spend. We do better when everybody has a fair shot, when our economy works for all of us.

Research indicates that if unmarried women with children made as much as comparable men, the very high poverty rate for families headed by working single mothers would fall by

nearly half, from 28.7 percent to 15 percent.

Having an economy that works for everyone starts by ensuring women are paid the same amount as men when they work in similar jobs. It’s illegal to pay women less, in Iowa and elsewhere, but gender discrimination in pay exists. It’s time to make equal pay for equal work a reality. A few weeks ago, I pledged to support and sponsor legislation with several of my fellow Iowa House Democrats to correct this economic and social injustice.

In addition to ending gender discrimination in pay, one of the most effective ways to help families get ahead, weather the ups and downs of the economy, and set our kids up for success is to make sure families can take paid time off when they need it. Supporting working families starts with letting parents have the flexibility to leave work to take care of their kids when they’re sick and to take time off for their own illnesses-without losing wages or income. When workers don’t have to choose between their income, their health or their kids, they are more likely to stay in their jobs, providing stability and growth for their families and employers.

Again, change is desperately needed. Nearly one-quarter of adults report they have lost a job or have been threatened with losing a job for taking time off due to illness or to care for a sick child or relative, and about 40 percent of private-sector workers, and 81 percent of low-wage workers have no access to paid sick days.

Workers without paid sick days either have to go to work sick or stay home, losing pay and risking job loss or workplace discipline.

In addition to sponsoring equal-pay for women legislation, I am working with several members of my party to craft legislation ensuring paid sick days. Why is this needed? Because current family and medical leave law provides unpaid, job-protected leave for serious health-related events, but only about 60 percent of the workforce qualifies for this unpaid leave, and many more simply cannot afford to take it because it is unpaid. In addition, only 12 percent of workers have access to paid family leave through their employers, and these workers are disproportionately well paid.

Paid sick days will help keep our economy, families and communities healthy. Employees who can earn sick time can use it to take care of themselves or a loved one without fear of losing a day’s wages or their jobs. That means workers will have more job security and more money to support their families and spend in local businesses, that parents will no longer be forced to choose between their families and their jobs, and that the entire community will be healthier, because these laws reduce the spread of illness and disease that can happen when people go to work or school sick.

I was standing around at the dedication of a new veterans memorial the other day, in the city hall, n o t too far f r o m t h e “wall” the city hall in- By Marc Dion stalled a couple years ago, the wall being a bulletin board where you can post pictures of your boy/girl overseas.

And I thought of the other memorials whose fundraising efforts or dedications I’ve written about in the last couple of years.

As a reporter, I’ve noticed that the worse things get in this country, the more memorials we dedicate, the more droolingly effusive we are in our thanks to the veterans, the more “If You Can Read This in English, Thank a Soldier” bumper stickers I see. The last bridge built in my town is called “Veterans Memorial Bridge.”

There’s no work and a lot of what work there is pays money that wouldn’t support a duck, but we can always pour concrete for another memorial. If you see a vet, shake his hand. Just don’t ask him where he’s working. If your waitress tells you she just got out of the Navy, give her a bigger tip but don’t ask her how many hours a week she’s getting.

Is this the two last things we can do as a nation; send you overseas to kill people and shake your hand when you get home?

Can we only do that

and do we stop there?

Do we stop short of good, union jobs with pensions for our vets, full time jobs a man or woman can count on? A little house? A weekly paycheck?

Freedom, as we endlessly yap, isn’t free, but neither is food or clothes or medicine for the baby.

But hey, the people who start the wars are working steady. The senators get their pensions. The CEO gets his heath care. You get a quick trip through some dirty little Third World war and then you come home to a handshake and a part-time, $9 an hour job.

One of the most beautiful things about my country, about America, is the men and women soldiers, most often working or lower middle class or poor who have, for more than a decade, joined and kept joining and left little pieces of themselves in Iraq and Afghanistan, in purposeless fights that never end. All we have asked, they have done, deploying two, three or four times.

Their actions are a sad poem of honor and determination and a lesson in how service to the nation, laughed at by the rich and sold by the elected, still keeps true those who have the least to gain in the fight.

We at home build the America in which our soldiers will live.

A nation full of memorials is a cemetery.

A nation of jobs and security and pensions is a place not just to fight for, but also a place to live when you come home.

Jasper County Chapter of Pheasants Forever hosts fundraising, membership banquet Saturday Newton Daily News The Jasper County Chapter of Pheasants Forever will host its Fundraising and Membership Banquet on Saturday at Fore Seasons Golf Center. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with dinner and a fundraising auction to follow. All proceeds from the event go to the Jasper County chapter’s wildlife habitat and youth conservation efforts.

PF is dedicated to the conservation of pheasants, quail and other wildlife through habitat improvements, public awareness, education and land management policies and programs.

PF is the only national

conservation organization that empowers local chapters with the responsibility to determine how 100 percent of their locally-raised conservation funds are spent.

This local control allows chapters to see the fruits of their chapter efforts in their own communities. As a result, chapter volunteers are able to see the effects of their efforts locally, while belonging to a larger national organization with a voice on federal and state conservation policy.

Since forming in 1986, the Jasper County Chapter of PF has completed 869 wildlife habitat projects benefitting wildlife on 8,169 acres and planted more

than 24,000 trees and shrubs. The chapter is also involved with PF’s No Child Left Indoors initiative, part of a national movement aimed at getting youth unplugged from electronics and turned on to the outdoors, nature and wildlife. The No Child Left Indoors initiative is carried out through youth habitat projects, youth and family community events and youth outdoor education programs hosted by chapters and volunteers across the country.

“The beauty of Pheasants Forever is the local approach to conservation,” said Nathan Unsworth, chapter treasurer, “We’re able to

hold a great event with a wide array of prizes, from guns to wildlife art, all of which will help in our efforts to create and restore habitat and get youth involved in outdoor activities.”

For tickets to the banquet, please contact Nathan Unsworth at 309371-3365 or via email at nunsworth@gmail.com.

Turning over new leaf means turning away bigoted friends DEAR ABBY: My friendships have always included people of different races, religions, nationalities, sexual orientations, professions, etc. A few years ago, I had an experience that was both devastating and humbling on several different levels. It caused me to do a lot of introspection and self-improvement, which led to my becoming a more empathetic person.

Over the last few years, I have distanced myself from old friends and acquaintances who were racist, sexist, homophobic, etc. I have replaced them with new relationships with people who embrace diversity. Some of the people I no longer see ask me why we don’t talk or get together anymore. I don’t want to give them excuses like, “I’ve been too busy.” How do I explain to them that I don’t enjoy associating with people who hold bigoted views? — OPEN-MINDED IN THE MIDWEST DEAR OPEN-MINDED: Because you no longer wish to associate with them, why not just respond with the truth? Say: “As you may know, I had an experience a few years ago that was life-changing. It made me re-evaluate my life and my relationships, so I decided to ‘edit’ them down and spend more time with people who think the way I do about life.”

DEAR ABBY: I am a middle-aged man who lost my wife to cancer 2 1/2 years ago. We had no children.

I’m now feeling very alone. I don’t seem to fit in anywhere. My old “guy” friends avoid me, and our married “couple” friends leave me out because I am not a couple anymore. I understand that, because they all do “couple” things.

But even my family seems to have

set me aside. When my wife was alive, we would be invited to my siblings’ homes for dinners during the holidays and other times. Now I often don’t even get a phone call.

There are times I feel like I have been cast off by everyone.

Please help, Abby. — LONELY KANSAN DEAR LONELY KANSAN: I’ll try. With most married couples, the wives are the ones who make the social plans. This may be why you aren’t hearing from your “couple” friends. Why your family would choose to exclude you at a time when you need them is something I can’t explain. But they may tell you if you pick up the phone and talk to them about it.

Because you find you have time on your hands and no prospects, it’s time to establish yourself as an eligible single male. Research singles groups in your area. Go online and put your profile on some of the singles sites. Get involved in volunteer activities. Join a dance class, a yoga class, a gym.

There are plenty of women out there waiting to be found, but you won’t find any of them sitting home waiting for the phone to ring.

City council candidate dies, but name remains on ballot IDA GROVE — The name of a western Iowa city council candidate who died last week remains on Tuesday’s ballot. Bill Carnine died Wednesday, but election officials say the news came too late to take his name off ballots in Ida Grove. Carnine, the incumbent, was the only candidate for the Ward 2 seat. Ida County auditor Lorna Steenbock said if a write-in candidate were to get more votes than Carnine, that person would win.

But if Carnine were to get the most votes, the council would have to appoint someone.

DES MOINES — Iowa’s executive branch agreed Monday to spend $235,000 to settle a lawsuit filed by a former resident of the now-shuttered Iowa Juvenile Home who claims she was held in prison-like cells for 280 days.

The settlement with Jessica Turner is the first stemming from concerns about the treatment of residents at the Toledo-based home, which prompted Gov. Terry Branstad to abruptly close the institution for troubled girls last year.

Colfax North Park to host second volunteer work/fish event

By Mike Mendenhall Jasper County Tribune COLFAX — Volunteers Bill Edgar of Mingo and Bill Riddle of Colfax, jumped off a flatbed truck near the heavily wooded southern dike of the Colfax North Park development during a community work day Oct. 24.

Riddle drew a chainsaw and helped cut back limbs on the 1.5 mile trail which extends from the Colfax Historical Museum parking lot through the southern boarder of the facility.

The park land was donated to the City of Colfax last November by Martin Marietta Materials, Inc. and groups of local volunteers have since been slowly chipping away at needed maintenance before it can be open to the public.

Volunteers can fish from noon to 5 p.m.

The board is encouraging volunteers to bring their own weed eaters, trimmers and

chainsaws but are not required to volunteer.

Fishing poles will not be provided.

Board vice president Kyle Ament said the group hopes the promise of fishing the area, which has been closed to the public for decades, will bring out more volunteers to get needed work completed before the winter months.

The workday Oct. 24 saw more than a dozen volunteers picking up trash, cutting trees to create future shoreline access and removing debris from a recently demolished building on the property.

“We focused on the dike, widening the trail and getting some of the blighted trees removed.

We’re moving back weeds and vegetation,” Ament said. “We’re just doing a lot of little things to try to get the community involved and give them a little reward afterward.”

Ament said Saturday’s fish for work day will likely be the last for this fall, but it is a program the board plans to continue in Spring 2016.

The parks board has been making both procedural and financial progress in the last month, recently announcing the award of a $53,000 IDNR REAP grant to repair eroding shoreline as well as announcing the hire of a landscape architectural firm to help the board develop, fund and implement a master plan for the facility.

The board aims to have a master plan completed and ready for public eyes in Spring or Summer 2016.

Visiting Nurse Services of Iowa announces enrollment events with navigators Newton Daily News Visiting Nurse Services of Iowa will host the following enrollment events to provide assistance to individuals enrolling in the health insurance marketplace, which is open through Jan. 31.

Love’s Travel Stops raises nearly $2.2 million for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals Newton Daily News Love’s Travel Stops store employees wrapped up a record-setting campaign to raise money for Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals.

After holding countless bake sales, golf tournaments, cook outs, 5K runs, rummage sales and other events, employees at more than 350 stores in 40 states raised $2.15 million throughout the five-week instore campaign, the largest amount in Love’s 17-year history of supporting CMN Hospitals. Since 1998, Love’s has raised more than $14 million for the nonprofit.

“We’re proud of the employees who pour their energy into the campaign,” said Jenny Love Meyer, vice president of communications for Love’s.

“Many hundreds of store employees volunteer their time in fundraisers for five weeks while

taking care of our customers.

Their dedication is essential along with the continued support of our customers, without whom we wouldn’t be able to support such a great cause at this level.”

From Aug. 25 to Sept. 30, Love’s team members sold CMN Hospitals’ Miracle Balloons for donations and organized numerous events. Some managers and employees went above and beyond and got family members involved in the fundraising efforts. Spouses worked cookouts and children collected donations. The stores surpassed their goal of $2.1 million.

“We are continually impressed with the dedication and generosity that propels Love’s Travel Stops to exceed their fundraising goals year after year,” said John Lauck, president and CEO of Children’s Miracle Network Hos-

pitals. “Those results are saving kids’ lives. Love’s employees and customers should be proud of the tremendous impact they have on kids in their communities by funding vital treatments, research, equipment and charity care.”

Pediatric medical care is the most expensive to provide, in part because of all the different sizes of equipment needed to treat kids ranging in size from a 1-pound micro-preemie to a 7-foot high school football player. Children’s hospitals also open their doors to all kids, regardless of a family’s ability to pay. Member hospitals in the U.S. provide $3.4 billion in charity care annually. The money raised at each Love’s location benefits sick and injured children in that community.

Of the 170 CMN Hospitals members throughout North America, 96 benefit from Love’s annual campaign.

This is a weekly feature highlighting some of Iowa’s unsolved homicides in the hopes that it will lead to new tips and potentially help solve cases. The project is a partnership between this newspaper and other members of the Iowa Newspaper Association.

MILDRED ADALINE CLEMENSON | AGE: 81 | DIED: NOV. 9, 1998 Hometown: Kensett Mildred “Millie” Adaline Clemenson was found brutally slain on Nov. 11, 1998 inside her rural Kensett mobile home. An autopsy indicated Clemenson died from blunt force trauma to the head and had been dead for two days before family members reported her death to authorities, despite the fact she had a plane ticket to y to Arizona on Nov. 10.

On the day of her death, she’d allegedly gone to the bank to cash in a large bond.

Clemenson’s only child, adopted daughter Marcia Patton, had moved her family into the main home and moved Clemenson into the mobile home next to the farmhouse the year prior to Clemenson’s death.

Clemenson had just recently become the executor of the estate for her late stepmother. Upon Clemenson’s death, Patton immediately assumed the position as executor.

Clemenson’s death “made her adopted daughter a millionaire,” a family member told Iowa Cold Cases.

Investigators ask anyone with information about Mildred Clemenson’s unsolved murder to contact the Iowa DCI at 515-725-6010.

Colfax-Mingo’s offense can’t break through in decisive second half

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MOUNT AYR — Colfax-Mingo’s high powered offense went right down the field on their opening possession of Monday’s Class A second-round playoff game.

The Tigerhawks got a big kickoff return from Blake Summy and then drove 51 yards in 10 plays to go up 7-0 in the school’s first-ever second-round postseason game.

First-half success continued for Colfax-Mingo as Jacob Lietz hauled in a 75-yard touchdown pass from Jared Myers and then he returned a punt for 75 yards to bring the Tigerhawks within 23-20 at halftime.

Unfortunately for the visitors, those 20 points were all Colfax-Mingo could muster in four quarters as Mount Ayr’s defense forced five turnovers and held the Tigerhawk offense to seven three and outs during a 42-20 victory at Raider Field.

Mount Ayr turned it over three times itself, but the Raiders (9-2) still improved to 9-0 on the season against Class A opponents because they rushed for 401 yards.

“We came down here and were ready to play,” Colfax-Mingo coach Jeff Lietz said.

“We got a little momentum and we felt good going into halftime. I knew it was going to be a tighter game than last year.

“We just needed to get more

stops in the second half. We didn’t play on their side of the ball enough.”

The win for the Raiders advances them to Friday’s quarterfinal round where they will host Lynnville-Sully at 7 p.m.

The Tigerhawks finished the game with an 8-3 record. They are the first team in school history to win a playoff games and they clinched playoff berths in back-to-back seasons for the first time in school history.

“Things didn’t go the way we wanted it to go tonight, but they still have a lot to be proud of,” Coach Lietz said. “I was happy with the way we played. We fought, but we just couldn’t get out on top in this one.”

Colfax-Mingo scored in 10 plays on its first offensive possession. The drive culminated with a 7-yard touchdown pass from Myers to Summy. It was Summy’s 12th touchdown reception of the season.

Mount Ayr scored on its first possession when Kyle Dolachek hauled in a 27-yard touchdown catch from Jacob Taylor.

Nick Wurster gave the Raiders a 9-7 lead with a 32-yard field goal, but the Tigerhawks scored one play later when Myers went up top to Jacob Lietz, who got behind the Mount Ayr secondary and sprinted to paydirt.

Troy Hyde/Daily News The touchdown put the TiColfax-Mingo seniors Jacob Buehrer (25) and Alan Wheeler take gerhawks up 14-9. But it was TIGERHAWKS | 2B

This & That

Failure is in the eye of the beholder

WINFIELD — Noah Engle lined everything up and took position. Kobe Fisk awaited the snap of the football. A good snap to Fisk for a perfect hold, and Engle kicked the ball true.

Celebration broke out as the football went end over end through the uprights with eight seconds remaining in Monday’s Class A playoff game. Engle’s 34-yard field goal lifted the Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks to a 29-28 lead.

A tackle by Sage Ehresman on the ensuing kickoff, and Fisk intercepting a pass on the final last-ditch effort by host Winfield-Mount Union secured the Hawks the one-point victory. The Hawks handed the eighthranked Wolves their first loss of the season.

Lynnville-Sully (8-3) advances to the third round of the Class A playoffs Friday. The Hawks face No. 9 Mount Ayr (9-2) at 7 p.m. at Mount Ayr. “Noah stepped up big time. I told him this one really counts. He told us just before we broke the huddle that this one was for all of us,” Fisk said of Engle. “Their crowd was roaring, but when that thing went through the uprights — boy, their side was silent and our side erupted. It was so intense.”

Lynnville-Sully’s train keeps moving. Fisk said the team looks at the playoffs as if they were on a train and everybody’s season comes to an end.

“We’re staying on the train,” Fisk said.

Junior quarterback Tyler Van Zante engineered two straight scoring drives in the final eight minutes of the game after the Hawks fell

After Colfax-Mingo’s Dakota Hostetter finished her third state cross country meet this weekend, the junior told me she felt like not walking away with an all-state medal meant she was a failure.

She admitted to By Troy Hyde not enjoying Newton Daily News the pressure Sports Writer of being a ranked runner. She doesn’t think she performs well under pressure.

But there’s one thing that Hostetter is not — that’s a failure.

Anyone who has run in three straight state cross country meets in three years of high school is not a failure.

Anyone who finishes in the top 25 in each race also isn’t a failure.

Hostetter also played on the volleyball team. Just playing two sports in the same season and being a part of postseason success in both means you’re an absolute winner.

One day, Hostetter will look back on what she did in high school and not think of herself as a failure.

There are teams who weren’t failures this fall, too.

The Prairie City-Monroe football team wasn’t a failure when it lost to Mid-Prairie in the opening round of the playoffs. The Mustangs still went 7-2 during the regular season. Sometimes you just don’t play your best.

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s football team had lots of adversity this year. Not much went right, but the Raiders made the playoffs despite all the hardship. No failure there either.

Colfax-Mingo’s volleyball team, which included Hostetter, won a playoff game and then lost to the ninth-ranked team in the state. Sometimes the better teams just win. Not a failure.

CMB’s volleyball team had similar misfortune with injuries as the football team did. The Raiders lost a top hitter early in the year, another top hitter near the end of the season and didn’t have its libero for the postseason.

So their loss to North Polk wasn’t a failure either.

The area cross country teams all had at least one state qualifier represent their school. That’s not failure.

PCM has reached the regional final in volleyball.

No matter what happens against heavily-favored Nevada on Tuesday, the Mustangs are not failures.

They have a strong core of young talent with a firstyear coach. The only way is up for them.

Colfax-Mingo and Lynnville-Sully both won playoff games on the gridiron.

No matter the outcome of Monday’s second-round games, neither will go down as failures this season.

Failure is such a harsh word.

I remember telling my wife a few weeks ago I like it when our daughter gets emotional when she fails.

I don’t like seeing her fail, but I love it that she hates to fail.

Carolina remains perfect with OT victory CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Luke Kuechly is the first to admit the Carolina Panthers don’t always win pretty.

Seems the team’s gritty star middle linebacker wouldn’t have it any other way.

“That’s not what we do,” Kuechly said after Carolina’s 29-26 overtime win Monday night over the Indianapolis Colts. “We just find a way to win at the end of the game, and that’s what makes it fun here is we keep it exciting.

You never know what to expect.”

Kuechly had a chance to put away the Colts at the end of regulation, but he dropped Andrew Luck’s pass in the end zone.

The 2013 NFL Defensive Player of the Year allowed a wet football to slide through his hands with 2 seconds left in regulation. Adam Vinatieri kicked a field goal from there to send it overtime.

Kuechly would make the most of another opportunity, ultimately intercepting Luck on a tipped pass by teammate Roman Harper to set up Graham Gano’s game-winning 52-yard field goal with 5:22 left in overtime.

“Roman made a great play and it really just popped right to me and all I had to do was catch it, and that time I was like, ‘All right, just catch it this time,’” Kuechly said. “It was a great play by those guys up front; I was just in the right spot.”

The Panthers forced four turnovers.

The win moved the Panthers to 7-0 for the first time in franchise history and extended the team’s regular season win streak to 11 games. It also left the Panthers as the only unbeaten team in the NFC with a big home game looming this Sunday against the Green Bay Packers.

Hawks Continued from Page 1B behind 28-20. Van Zante finished the game completing 20of-33 passes for 259 yards and one touchdown.

Sage Ehresman pushed over the goal line at the 2:57 mark of the fourth quarter for Lynnville-Sully. On the two-point conversion run they needed to tie the game, Ehresman was stopped by the Wolves’ defense, leaving it 28-26.

“Our defensive coordinator, T.J. Cunningham looked at me and said we were going to get three stops and get the ball back. I just smiled and said ‘let’s do it,’” Lynnville-Sully head coach Mike Parkinson said.

The Hawks attempted an onside kick, but the football went out of bounds allowing the Wolves to take over at their own 35-yard line. Even after giving up five yards on a penalty, the Hawks held on defense forcing Winfield-Mount Union to punt the football.

Lynnville-Sully had the football with 2:04 on the game clock. The Hawks’ final drive began at their own 26-yard line. Van Zante found Fisk, who had 10 catches for 178 yards on the night, for a 15yard pass play.

Ehresman caught backto-back passes to move the Hawks down to the Wolves’ 22-yard line. After three plays, it was up to Engle, who had missed an earlier field goal attempt and an extra-point kick in the game.

“I got really emotional before the kick,” Engle said.

“Coach ( Justin) Hagedorn wanted to talk to me over the headset during the timeout.

He told me he believed in me.

My teammates believed in me.

I just give it to God, who gave me the ability to do this.”

Engle said the offensive line for Lynnville-Sully did a great job all night and provided him with the time to kick the field goal.

“This win means the train keeps going. We don’t want to get off until it gets to Cedar Falls,” Engle said.

Ehresman, the Hawks’ senior running back, rushed for 172 yards on 38 carries and had three catches for 34 yards.

Ehresman put the Hawks on

Engle’s extra-point kick made it 7-0.

Winfield-Mount Union marched to the Lynnville-Sully 13-yard line. In hurry-up mode on a third-and-one, Wolves’ quarterback Kolt Rossiter fumbled the snap and Lynnville-Sully recovered the football. The Hawks gave it right back on a fumble.

This time the Wolves finished with a 3-yard touchdown run by Bryce Robinson at the 8:03 mark of the second quarter. Lynnville-Sully denied a two-point pass to stay in front 7-6.

The Hawks couldn’t respond, punting the ball back to the Wolves with 5:25 on the clock. On a third-and-10 play, Rossiter hooked up with Zach Davis on a scoring-pass play that covered 76 yards. Rossiter ran in the two-point conversion for a 14-7 lead with 4:45 left in the first half.

At halftime, the Wolves led the Hawks 14-7.

“They are big and physical, and we just had to find what would work for us,” Parkinson said.

What worked in the middle of the third quarter was handing the ball to Ehresman. Ehresman squirted through traffic at the line of scrimmage and dashed 44 yards. Engle’s kick tied the game a 14-all with 6:13 left in the period.

Lynnville-Sully’s defense made a stop, and the Hawks’ offense was in business again.

Van Zante found Colton Arment twice on passes to move the chains. Arment had four receptions for 42 yards in the game.

The Hawks were at the Wolves’ 29-yard line as the fourth quarter began. Following an incompletion on third down, Lynnville-Sully went on a fourth-and-nine play. Fisk was all alone after WMU defenders fell on the play, and Van Zante’s pass was right on target for a 29-yard scoring play.

Lynnville-Sully was up 2014 with 11:46 remaining in the game. The Wolves scored quickly on back-to-back long

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Lynnville-Sully’s Dylan Roozeboom (22) tackles Winfield-Mount Union’s Bryce Robison (22) as his teammates Trevor Squires (62) and Kyle Van Dyke (72) jam up the middle on a running play in Monday’s Class A playoff game at Winfield. Lynnville-Sully pulled out a 29-28 win on a last-second field goal.

pass plays to Garret Baker — 49 yards and 80 yards. A two-point conversion pass on the second touchdown was knocked down by the Hawks to keep it at 28-20.

“These guys don’t quit. We found a way to win tonight,” Parkinson said. “Tyler stepped up. He used his feet when he needed to and he put the ball on the money all night for our receives to make the catches. We had a couple of big drops, but we had some unbelievable catches.”

Parkinson said the Hawks did a nice job on the defensive line and the Hawk linebackers played well against the run. The Wolves’ Robison was held to 97 yards on 27 carries.

That was all WMU got on the ground.

Rossiter went 8-of-17 passing for 251 yards with three touchdown and two interceptions. Baker made six catches for 159 yards.

“We made some mistakes in pass coverage. We had two freshmen on the field all night playing on defensive back field because of injuries,” Parkinson said. “All these guys left it all

Tigerhawks Continued from Page 1B 16-14 after one quarter in favor of the home team after Taylor scored on an 8-yard touchdown run.

Myers threw picks on backto-back possessions in the second quarter, and the Raiders capitalized on the second one.

Dolachek capped a seven-play drive with a 1-yard touchdown run that put the Raiders up 2314, and Colfax-Mingo played from behind the rest of the night.

Jacob Lietz returned a punt 74 yards for a touchdown late in the second quarter to pull the Tigerhawks within 23-20.

The Raiders sent a big message on their first possession of the second half. A big kickoff return gave the ball to Mount Ayr on the Colfax-Mingo 41yard line. Four plays later, Taylor put the Raiders up 29-20 with a 21-yard touchdown run.

Jacob Lietz finished with 98 yards on five catches, while Lane Dunblazer added 38 yards on two catches. The Tigerhawks had only 159 yards of total offense and six first downs.

Mount Ayr’s defense came into the game with four shutouts against Class A competition. And the most points the Raiders allowed against Class A opponents prior to Monday’s playoff game was 14.

But 20 points weren’t enough for the Tigerhawks, who graduate 13 seniors from the roster.

“I am very proud of them. It’s a tough night for the seniors,” Coach Lietz said. “We are the only team that has ever won a playoff game in the history of Colfax-Mingo. We also went to the playoffs two years in a row and that’s never been done before either. This group of boys deserves it. They have worked their tails off since third grade.”

The Leo moon (which uses the heart as eyes) suggests that for today we’ll be judged by the way our work makes others feel. Looks, age, fitness level, political bent, taste level and any other whimsy you can think of that doesn’t have to do with the feeling that comes from what you produce will be relegated to the category of “beside the point.”

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 3). Your works will speak for themselves this month. Enjoy the attention! Because of your choice to listen to people instead of accuse them, you’ll wind up knowing more and having a larger reach than your

colleagues. January features a new start in work and March cleans the financial slate. Cancer and Libra adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 16, 22, 28 and 11.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

When are you going to make it about you and you alone?

You’re going to have to get a little more selfish (without feeling bad about it) if you’re to meet your goals!

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Seeking knowledge and insight, you’ll gain more than you bargained for. This is what it takes to understand what’s going on with the others. When you tune your ears into what’s not being said, you’ll get the whole truth.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll need extra reserves of patience, especially where people of other generations are concerned.

If you can stay a bit detached it will be easier. Everyone is doing his or her best.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Small minds have big heads.
