Newton man charged in West Virginia after meeting teen online Newton Daily News

By Ty Rushing Newton Daily News After 160 years of making sure rural residents of Newton received the word of God, the Wittemberg Church is disbanding after Sunday’s service.

The church has seen a stark decline in membership over the years and averages around to 12-15 parishioners per Sunday.

Several church organizers said the low attendance figures made it nearly impossible to keep the church operational.

Since being hired in 2012, the Rev. Roger Swanson has served as the church’s pastor.

Swanson has been involved in the ministry through one way or another for more than 60 years. In his experiences, he said he’s learn to identify why some congregations grow and some die. He believes the closure of Wittemberg is the sign of the times in rural areas.

“Why this church is closing has nothing to do with the spiritual life of the church or the enthusiasm or CLOSING | 3A

High numbers in local absentee voting

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Voting in Iowa began long before the first ballot was cast on Tuesday. More than 400,000 Iowans voted early by absentee ballot. The Jasper County Auditor’s Office sent out 7,038 absentee ballots and as of Tuesday morning received 6,079 back.

If a voter still has their ballot they can turn it in to the auditor’s office by 9 p.m.

Tuesday to be counted.

In the mail, the ballot would have had to been post marked Nov. 3 and received by Nov. 10 in order for it to be

counted.

Tina Mulgrew, deputy county auditor of elections, said the number of returned absentee ballots will probably go up as the day goes on as well as through out the week.

Just a month ago, 3,200 absentee ballots had been completed in Jasper County. That number included voters who mailed in their ballot as well as those to chose to vote in person at the auditor’s office.

Since then, that number has more than doubled, and Jasper County Auditor Dennis Parrott VOTING | 3A

Three new properties approved for the D&D program

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Properties at 326 E. 11th St. N., 517 S. Second Ave. W. and 403 N. Fourth Ave. E. were approved for purchase through the D&D program at the Newton City Council meeting Monday. The property at 425 First Ave. W., which had a price of $50,000, garnered no interest from the council.

The 326 E. 11th St. N. has a purchase price of $4,000 while the other two properties were acquired using Iowa Code 657A.10A. The code allows the city to petition the courts for the title of the abandoned properties. City officials said the process provides a more permanent solution in deal-

ing with and cleaning up properties heavily encumbered with various liens. After a 30 day appeal period, the city would gain ownership of the properties and have to pay any outstanding property taxes. For 517 S. Second Ave. W. the cost would be $3,200 and 403 N. Fourth Ave. E. is $2,500.

“There is no other program that the city is doing that I get more comments on and it is just incredibly positive,” Noreen Otto, council member said. “I could not be more excited by the way we are capitalizing on this D&D project, it can’t be overstated the impact that it has on a neighborhood to see a house that is an eyesore disappear.”

Aurora Park was approved for a new rest-

room building in an effort to modernize and improve the attractiveness of the park. The pre-manufactured restroom will be purchased from CXT of Spokane Valley, Washington for a price for $40,000.

A contract was awarded to Municipal Pipe Tool Co LLC of Hudson, Iowa to line the sanitary sewer mains that have leaky pipe joints or cracks. Video camera images of the inside of city sanitary sewer pipes showed that several segments are in need of repair. Using the lining would repair the joints and cracks without having to excavate and repave the streets.

The cost of the project is $254,237.50.

Kellogg family shares harvest experience Newton Daily News

Paula Hender of Ankeny stood at the edge of a corn field near Reasnor. It was a cool and crisp Friday afternoon and sunlight was fading. Her husband Derek and 10-year-old son Dylan were gliding through goldenbrown stalks aboard a John Deere combine operated by Jacob Van Manen. Her other son, 12-year-old Jason, was near her side waiting his turn, smiling broadly as he prodded kernels off a cob to pass the time.

“Most people don’t know a farmer,” she said matter-of-factly while gazing across the husk-covered ground to the combine clawing its way across the field. “When it comes to questions about food, my resource has always been Google.”

Paula’s situation isn’t unique. It’s the reason why the Iowa Food & Family Project launched its “You on the Farm” program in 2011. The contest provides foodminded consumers the opportunity to win a personalized farm tour.

The Henders’ fall harvest experience was Friday. Their hosts were Kevin and Julie Van Manen who, with their children Jacob and Emily, raise cattle and hogs and grow corn, soybeans and sweet corn near Kellogg in Jasper County.

From Newfoundland to Iowa Paula entered the contest after reading about it on Iowa FFP’s Facebook page. They were selected from more than 50 entries.

Raised in Newfoundland, Canada, Paula and Derek moved to Louisiana in 1994.

Ten years later, they moved to Iowa.

“The one thing we had to learn when we arrived was the difference between field corn and sweet corn,” Paula said with a smile.

Reasnor and St. Johns, Newfoundland may be more than 2,000 miles apart, but a growing number of consumers are uniting around an interest in learning more about their food and having the confidence to discern fact

from competing claims and outright gimmicks.

Paula counts herself among them.

“When I’m walking around the grocery store or planning our menu, food safety is on my mind,” said Paula who works in human resources for Wells Fargo in Des Moines. “I’m not overly concerned about GMOs. About everything we eat has been modified, but it’s been modified to our benefit.

“Yet I have concerns just like other moms,” she added. “Sometimes that concern leads me to question the choices I make. I want to be confident and purchase food that tastes good and is good for you.”

The Van Manens were the perfect hosts for the Hender’s first U.S. farm visit. Kevin, Julie, Emily and Jacob often make time to provide a behindthe-scenes tour of their farm including sorting hogs, feeding cattle, picking sweet corn and planting and harvesting their corn and soybeans.

On this particular day, three generations of Van Manens were bringing in the harvest. Jacob was running the combine, his father Kevin drove the semi and grandpa Ron kept pace with the fourwheel-drive tractor and 900-bushel capacity grain cart.

“Even though it’s a busy time of year, it’s important to show where the miracle of food begins — on the farm,” Julie said as she and Emily flipped through family photo

albums with Paula. “We have to earn and keep the trust of our customers if we want to keep farming.

“I wouldn’t want to have to buy our food from another country,” she said.

Future farmers The flurry of harvest activity was a magnet for the Hender boys, Jason and Dylan. Both took turns riding in the tractor pulling the grain cart and the combine.

“The combine was like a giant lawnmower,” Dylan said when asked about the highlight of his on-farm experience.

Jason quickly chimed in. “I’ll remember the power of the machine and how the combine chewed through the corn,” he said. “I think I’d like to farm!”

Such comments surprised Paula.

“Prior to the farm visit, I woudn’t have considered farming to be a career path for my children,” she said.

“However, after seeing Jacob and Emily at work on the farm and how they’re incorporating their post-secondary education into the farm in combination with the better technology, it’s indeed a viable career consideration.”

After spending time in the field, the Henders were treated to dinner at Culver’s in Newton.

The restaurant recognizes farmers for their commitment to growing wholesome food and provides financial resources to local FFA chapters to support community-based ag education for youth.

The family enjoyed warm burgers, cheese balls, chicken strips and cold shakes and reflected on their farm experience.

Derek, who serves as an executive for Unity Point Health in Des Moines, said it was the blend of manual labor and technology that was most memorable.

“A lot of the work is hands-on but high-tech is involved in farming, too,” he said. “They were collecting information from the yield monitor in the combine along with the moisture content (of the grain).

The fact that they can then use the information to know where and how much to fertilize the crop next spring was very interesting.”

Truly know For Paula, highlights were riding in the combine and meeting the Van Manens.

“I really didn’t have any expectations but enjoyed everything about the afternoon,” she said. “It’s important to take the time to truly know about where food comes from because when you’re not involved, you forget.

“There are always two sides to every issue and sometimes it’s difficult to hear directly from the farm families who are growing the food in their backyard,” she said. “This was a fun and educational experience that even connected the boys to farming. I would definitely recommend it to others.”

Registration is encouraged at least 48 hours in advance.

This meeting is designed to help farmers, landowners, and other agri-business professionals with issues related to the pending update, election and enrollment decisions for the new five year farm program. Par-

ticipants will learn more about ARC PLC regulations, procedures and FSA forms.

In addition, this meeting will feature the ARC PLC online calculators to help with decision making and estimating potential annual payments for 2014 through 2018.

The USDA FSA county staff will be presenting along with Steve Johnson, Extension Farm Management Specialist.

Margin Protection Program Producer meeting Wednesday The Jasper and Poweshiek County FSA offices will be holding a dairy producer meeting at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Drake Community Library, 930 Park St. in Grinnell.

During the meeting, producers will be informed of the new Margin Protection Program which has replaced the MILC Program starting with the 2014 Farm Bill. MPP is a voluntary risk management program for dairy producers which offer protection when the difference between the all milk price and the average feed cost (the margin) falls below

a certain dollar amount selected by producers.

The deadline to signup for 2014 and 2015 is Nov. 28. The meeting will include all the information producers need to know to decide if the Margin Protection Program fits into your operation.

Contact the Jasper County Service Center at 641-792-5019 with any additional questions.

People with disabilities who require accommodations to attend or participate in this meeting should contact Katie Kramer at 641-7925019.

Deadline to seed winter cover crops extended Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey and State Agronomist Barb Stewart with USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service announced that farmers participating in state cost-share and most federal financial assistance programs now have until Nov. 15 to plant winter hardy cover crops and still qualify for assistance.

The seeding date is extended following the announcement that only 81 percent of Iowa’s soybeans and 36 percent of corn were harvested as of Sunday.

“The crop report indicates both corn and

soybean harvests are behind the five-year average,” said Northey.

“Extending the deadline to Nov. 15 will allow additional farmers to get cover crops planted while still benefiting water quality.”

Winter hardy cover crops include cereal rye, winter wheat, triticale, among others. An extension was given to farmers last year, too, following a late harvest. Guidance from Iowa State University confirmed cover crops planted through the Nov. 15 deadline still have the potential to provide a substantial reduction in nutrient losses and soil erosion.

Crowder said Carter met the 16-year-old female online and traveled to Mercer County. He said the two spent “at least four days” together in a motel.

Crowder said the case was originally a missing persons investigation that began when the teen was reported missing to the state police. The girl was found after she and Carter got into a disagreement and she went to her mother’s place of work, Crowder said.

“He (Carter) was located at the Greyhound bus stop in Bluefield where he was waiting to board a bus back to Iowa,” Crowder said.

Carter was arraigned Monday afternoon and given a $10,000 cash only surety bond. He is currently incarcerated at the Southern Regional Jail.

said he thinks turnout could be the same if not higher from the last Gubernatorial Election in 2010.

“The turnout in 2006 Gubernatorial Election was 50.5 percent, and the turn out in the 2010 Gubernatorial Election was 56.4 percent.

Looking at how things stand today, my guess is that the turnout will be in the 55 percent to 60 percent range. Though, I hope that the turnout is higher,” Parrott said.

Closing: Wittemberg Church first held services in 1854 Continued from Page 1A dedication. It has everything to do with the fact that it’s in central Iowa — and in the whole state — the family farm is gone,” Swanson said.

As a student minister as Morningside College in Sioux City in the 50s, Swanson said he recalled serving at a church slightly smaller than Wittemberg that had full pews every Sunday.

“Every pew was taken. The average pew contained grandma, maybe grandpa too, mom and dad who were in their 40s or 50s and five children — three generations. You don’t find that anymore,” Swanson said.

Pat Beckham serves as the church’s historian and can’t even recall how long she’s attended the church.

“This was my grandparents church. I used to come here as a child when I visited my grandparents on the weekend. Then I went to church in town — my

parents lived in town, but 45 years ago my husband and I moved out to the country and I ended up back in a country church,” Beckham said.

Most of Wittemberg’s membership is of an older generation and they don’t have any young families are small children to take the place of the elders, Beckham said.

As members pass on, other members have been stepping up and it’s finally becoming too much for them. Another longtime church member, Sybil Scott agreed.

Wittemberg is located a few miles east of the city and is in Newton Township, and is surrounded by farmland. The origin of the church’s name is unknown but is believed to be derived from the German word “Wuttemberg.” The church, former grange hall and cemetery are the only remnants of the once thriving farm community.

Ty Rushing/Daily News The Wittemberg Church is closing its doors Sunday after 160 years of worship. The last service begins at 10:15 a.m. All are welcome to attend.

Originally formed in 1854 as the Wittemberg Free Presbyterian Church under the guidance of Rev. Thomas Merrill — an abolitionist who migrated from Ohio — the church met in various locations in the area including people’s homes

before building the original church structure in 1868.

The original building still serves as the sanctuary and the church has undergone a number of renovations in its more than 100 years of service. There were also additions made in 1920,

1954, 1964 and in 1978.

Over the years, the church has been affiliated with the Presbyterian and Congressional United Church of Christ ministries, but is currently non-definitional.

There are no future plans for the building,

which has been kept up well by the congregation. Board members are hoping its future owners either continue to use it as a church or even a private residence.

They are just hoping the historical structure is somehow preserved, but now decision will be out of their hands. In September, the church and nearby Wittemberg Cemetery gained inclusion into the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom.

It’s unclear whether that designation will impact the future of the church.

Swanson will be the 38th and final leader of the church’s flock. He, Beckham, and Scott said the members will likely go their separate ways after Sunday’s final service, but they are hoping to get a full house to send the church off properly.

“People are welcome to come to the last service,” Scott said.

“Service starts at 10:15 a.m.,” Swanson added.

Keeping Me on My Toes

It ends with a 0

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Nov. 4, 2014

As I turned the page of my calendar Saturday, an event stared me in face. It’s not Thanksgiving or my biggest craft show of the year or even the Wisconsin or Nebraska games at the end of the month.

It is my birthday, which this years ends in a big, old 0.

I have to say, it hasn’t caused me much stress or anxiety to turn the big 3-0. It amazes me to think of what I accomplished in my 20s, and I am excited to see what will happen the next 10 years. In my 20s, I graduated from the best university in the state, which is of course located in Iowa City. Only a few months later I got married and moved into a brand new house.

My husband and I got our dog, Homer, and I started a job that I spent six years at before landing at the newspaper.

By far, my biggest achievement has been my two daughters. After having my oldest, my world completely changed and my priorities became straight forward and clear.

The surprise arrival of my youngest less than a year and a half later taught me more about myself, and what I am capable of, more than I knew was possible.

Before she was born, I couldn’t understand how I could love and take care of two little people equally and without any favoritism. My

husband constantly told me not to worry and I have to say in this instance he was right.

My love grew, not split, for both of my girls, and I can’t remember what life without my little family was like before we became five (yes I count my dog always).

I have only had one moment where I heard that I was turning 30, and it stopped me in my tracks. It was an ordinary day just walking inside with my dad when he mentioned that in less than a month I would be 30. At that moment, it felt a little older than just the year after 29.

Like I said, right now it seems like my birthday will

be more of a non-event. I’ve planned a day of pampering for myself, visiting my maidof-honor to get my hair done, followed by some shopping, a pedicure and lunch at one of my favorite eateries. That night I will hang out with my family and hopefully have my favorite meal, meatloaf with cheesy potatoes and cheesecake for dessert (hint, hint family).

Then, Friday will come and I will be 30-and-one-day and not have to worry about another number for 10 or so years.

The Hunter Mansion Tea Room and Event Center is an historic icon The Hunter Mansion is a historic icon located in the heart of the City of Newton. Built in 1900, the home has three fireplaces and the interior woodwork is beautifully ornate. There is an open staircase in the front foyer, beamed ceilings in the dining room and century old radia- By Linda Bacon tors throughout Newton Convention the home. As you and Visitors Bureau enter into the or- Executive Director nate foyer of this old Victorian home you will feel as if you have taken a step back in time.

Formerly Shay’s Tea Room and Gifts, the property was recently purchased by Brock and Rae Waleska.

Both were born and raised in Iowa; attended the University of Northern Iowa and then moved out of state for the next 10 years.

During this time Rae started a company called Murder n’ Mayhem that provided murder mystery entertainment. The parties were a hit and Rae’s dreams came true when they moved back to Iowa

with their two boys, and she was able to purchase and open Hunter Mansion so she could host murder mystery parties and other special events.

The tea room is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays. It is best to make reservations, but walk-ins are welcome as well. At The Hunter Mansion you can also reserve their downstairs dining rooms or upstairs party rooms and kitchen for your special events. Their space is perfect for groups of 50 or less and they can also provide on-site catering.

As a tea room, they serve the most wonderfully delicious items that are not like the cuisine on the menus of other typical restaurants.

You’ll find entrees such as quiche, sweet chicken salad sandwiches, toasted apple tuna sandwiches, tea room finger sandwiches; and they even have something the gentlemen might think a little more satisfying with a pulled pork sandwich. How about children?

Choose from a peanut butter and jelly or grilled cheese sandwich.

Don’t forget soup or salad…and then those delicious desserts! And, of course, there’s a plethora of varieties of tea.

This historic beauty houses a

tea room, gift shop and moonlights as a special event center. The Hunter Mansion offers many public events from themed tea parties, to fashion shows to murder mystery parties and more. The home is also perfect for private events such as bridal showers, baby showers, holiday parties and children’s birthday parties.

So, let’s talk about some of their special events. They host the Haunted History Tours, the HOPE Fundraiser, a Murder Mystery Dinner…”A Killer Costume Party,” wine tastings and many more for the adults.

But they have great parties for the kids too. How about taking the kids to a Teddy Bear Tea, Tiaras and Teacups, a Princess Tea Party, the Mad Hatter Tea Party, a High Fashion Tea Party or the Sugar and Sprinkles Tea Party. Hunter Mansion Tea Room and Events has something for everybody in the family; even a Craft-tea Time!

Back in the early part of the last century, millions of Americans believed there was somet h i n g called “white slavery.”

Without the aid of either F a c e - By Marc Dion b o o k or Bill O’Reilly, the rumor spread that a vast organization, headed

by Chinese men, was kidnapping innocent, dewy-faced white American girls and selling them into houses of prostitution run by other Chinese men.

It was a good story, a spine-tingler capable of raising righteous indignation in even the most flaccid of white men.

And, of course, it was all, as we say at the end of the bar, bull. There was no Chinese-led national white girl kidnapping syndicate. Women then, as now, got into prostitution in a variety of ways, many of them having to do with what well-trained journalists of this generation gingerly call “substance abuse.”

Politicians, anxious to have something with which to beat ChineseAmericans jumped on the story like a duck on a June bug. Bad speeches were made. Bad laws were passed. The nation was saved from a nonexistent threat. Best of all, the story meant that no decent American girl chose whoring as a profession, so, even if there was a brothel on your block, staffed by girls as white as angel food cake, it was not their fault.

Which is why states are in a big Jim Crow hurry to pass voter identification laws.

Like the white slavery narrative, the idea that massive voter fraud is occurring all over the country feeds perfectly into the limp victimhood of white people

who can’t accept the fact that America has more liberals, black people and Hispanics than their local megachurch.

It’s just good common sense is all it is: If none of the other soccer parents voted for Obama, then no one voted for Obama.

You can see that right on Facebook, between a picture of niece Meghan’s kitten and a recipe for a “really delish” blackberry smoothie with kale.

Bad speeches. Bad laws. Politicians, stuffed like turkeys with money from rich old white guys, jumped on this like a hog on a pile of garbage. The nation will be saved from this non-existent threat. Best of all, the story means that no white American chose just-a-little-darkerthan-weak-tea Obama as the president. It was voter fraud, so no one is to blame for any liberal or black or Hispanic who got into office.

It took decades to get some of the more ridiculous white slavery laws off the books and it took decades for the American people to believe that Chinamen in dragon-embroidered silk robes weren’t carrying off apple-cheeked farm girl Nellie Mae and selling her into brothel bondage. In fact, Nellie Mae’s biggest secret may have been that she preferred being a buck-a-throw hooker to being a buck-a-day factory girl. One killed you about as quickly as the other but the rich folks preferred you to die in a cotton mill or a garment factory.

Around the turn of the last century, baseball really was the national pastime. Around the turn of this century, voter identification laws mean Jim Crow is rounding second and headed for home.

Woman’s childhood boyfriend is plagued by checkered past DEAR ABBY: I’m in love with a man with a big heart. He was my boyfriend when we were both 6 years old. We lost touch for many years, but when I ran into him again we reconnected with a vengeance. We are great together, and I can’t imagine spending my life with anyone else.

We come from a small town, and he remained there until a year ago when he moved in with me. We now live in a major city and things are very different here. Applying for jobs requires a background check. In the small town we are from, it wasn’t a common practice. He was, to put it gently, quite “mischievous” when he was younger. He has a couple of DUIs, plus a few other things.

During the past year he has turned things around, but despite his efforts he has been unable to find work. (He has no felonies.) There are websites to assist felons, but none to assist people like him. He has been to unemployment and temp agencies — nothing. I’m getting desperate. How does someone with a criminal history find employment? — FEELING HELPLESS IN VIRGINIA DEAR FEELING HELPLESS: That’s a good question, and it’s one that legislators have been looking into. Some laws in certain jurisdictions limit an employer’s ability to look at criminal records. It might be worth your while to discuss this with a labor lawyer in your state to find out what the statutes are, because it is not the same in all states. While it might not solve your problem, it will give you a realistic idea of what the two of you are facing in the future.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my dear husband for 20 years.

Several years after our wedding, I found out he was dipping chewing tobacco. I was very upset because I

realized he had been keeping a major secret from me. He has tried to quit several times, but starts up again.

It makes me furious every time I see proof of this disgusting habit. I have had to lie to my kids when evidence was left in his truck. I’m at my wits’ end. I know he will quit only when he is ready, but how do I live with it? — UNHAPPY ABOUT IT IN TEXAS DEAR UNHAPPY: People who are addicted to chewing tobacco are at risk for cancers of the mouth, tongue and throat. I would be shocked if your husband’s dentist hasn’t discussed this with him more than once, because these cancers can be not only disfiguring but also life-threatening, IF the patient can be saved.

There are medical interventions to help people who are hooked on tobacco — but only if they WANT to be tobacco-free. An online community, TheQuit.org, offers information on helping someone stop chewing tobacco. Check it out.

My advice for living with an addict is to join a support group. It will help you recognize that you can’t “fix” your husband. He and he alone is responsible for his own fate.

DYERSVILLE — A court challenge has largely stalled the proposed development at the “Field of Dreams” movie site.

In September 2012, a group of nearby property owners filed a lawsuit against Dyersville, claiming the City Council didn’t consider the impact commercial development would have on the surrounding area by rezoning the property from agricultural use. Both sides are expected to appear in court next year for the case.

Braley, Ernst vie for pivotal open Senate seat The Associated Press DES MOINES — The first open U.S. Senate seat in Iowa in 40 years has drawn one of the nation’s closest races between two candidates with decidedly different approaches to the campaign.

In their contest to succeed fiveterm Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin, who didn’t seek re-election, Republican Joni Ernst has run a disciplined campaign and projected the persona of a small-town Iowan, military veteran and state legislator. Democrat Bruce Braley, a four-term U.S. House member, has focused on issues and billed himself as a consumer advocate who can build bipartisan relationships.

The race will help determine control of the Senate, where Republicans need six seats to become the majority party. Should Ernst win, she would become the first woman elected to the Senate from Iowa. If it’s Braley, he would force Republicans to look else-

Braley

Ernst

where for the six they need to claim the majority.

Polling shows the race has been tight for months, and it’s by far the most expensive campaign in Iowa history. Both Braley and Ernst have raised more than $10 million, and outside groups have spent additional millions on television advertising.

“It looks like enthusiasm. I think if I’d had this kind of enthusiasm in 2008, I would have carried the state,” Arizona Sen. John McCain said while campaigning for Ernst in Coralville.

Ernst appears to hold a narrow

edge by projecting an image as a homegrown public servant, having attained the rank of lieutenant colonel in Iowa Army National Guard.

She has painted Braley, a courtroom lawyer before entering Congress in 2007, as a Washington insider who supported measures such as the 2010 federal health care bill, which remains unpopular in Iowa.

Braley has pressed Ernst on her positions that include support for a constitutional amendment bestowing the rights of personhood on a fetus.

Such an amendment would outlaw all abortions and could outlaw some forms of birth control, positions Braley opposes.

As one of many on a list of highprofile Democratic women for Braley, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized Ernst’s position on reproductive rights at an appearance with Braley. “It’s not enough to be a woman. You have to be committed to expand rights and opportunities for all women,” she said.

Johnson and another man escaped the jail in Fort Dodge in August while doing laundry. They used sheets they tied together as a makeshift rope to escape through a vent.

Iowa judge upholds 50-year prison sentence for man The Associated Press DUBUQUE — An Iowa judge has upheld a 50-year prison sentence for a man convicted of robbery and attempted murder.

District Court Judge Thomas Bitter issued the sentence Monday against 76-year-old Eddie Chest. It is identical to one handed down by another district court judge.

Chest was sentenced in 2011 to two consecutive 25-year prison terms for first-degree robbery and attempted murder in the 2009 shooting of Dubuque police Lt. Scott Baxter.

Chest appealed and the Iowa Court of Appeals later ordered another judge to issue a new sentence. The appeals court said statements by the assistant Dubuque County attorney during sentencing improperly presented Chest’s plea deal.

Bitter on Monday said his sentence was based on Chest’s criminal history and the seriousness of the crime.

Senate control is top prize in midterm election The Associated Press WASHINGTON — Public campaigning gave way to the privacy of the voting booth Tuesday with control of the Senate, the makeup of the House and three dozen governorships at stake.

President Barack Obama, his approval ratings low, was not on the ballot midway through his second term. But even he said his policies were, and Republicans rushed to agree.

“The president’s policies have just flat-out failed,” House Speaker John Boehner said Monday, campaigning for a 13th term in Congress and hoping for two more years as top House leader. He

and other Republicans vowed to change Obama’s policies, but have offered little in the way of specifics.

Democrats didn’t so much defend the president as insist they were independent of him.

“There are two people on the ballot tomorrow, me and Scott Brown,” Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire said as she made the rounds of six campaign stops on the race’s final full day.

The main prize in a $4 billion campaign was control of the Senate, a contest that sprawled across three dozen states and spawned attack ads beyond counting.

LOS ANGELES — Federal accident investigators have an early sense of what went wrong before an experimental spaceship designed to ferry tourists beyond the Earth’s atmosphere broke apart during a test flight.

But they still don’t know why the craft prematurely shifted its shape prior to the deadly crash.

And another question looms: How far will the accident push back the day when paying customers can routinely rocket dozens of miles into the sky for a fleeting feeling of weightlessness and a breathtaking view?

National Transportation Safety Board investigators worked Monday at

the main wreckage area where Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo fell to the ground in the Mojave Desert, but also collected tiny debris 35 miles away.

The accident killed the co-pilot and badly injured the pilot who parachuted out of the ship Friday.

Acting NTSB Chairman Christopher Hart said cockpit video and data showed that the co-pilot unlocked SpaceShipTwo’s unique “feathering” system earlier than planned. The system works somewhat like the wing flaps that airplanes use to slow for landing — except that SpaceShipTwo’s twin tails rotate up at a far more extreme angle, to a position that creates strong resistance and slows the descent.

But while the co-pilot unlocked the system before planned, that action alone should not have been enough to change the craft’s configuration.

Activating the feathering system requires the pulling of a lever, not unlike a gun fires only when the trigger is pulled, not just because the safety has been disengaged.

Questions abound: Why did the co-pilot activate the system at that moment? Why did the tails begin to rotate without the co-pilot starting that process?

NTSB spokesman Peter Knudson said Monday that investigators believe once the feathers were unlocked, “aerodynamic forces” buffeting the craft as it hurtled along about

760 mph caused the feathers to start rotating.

Within a few seconds, the craft began to disintegrate, NTSB investigators determined.

The main wreckage was spread over a 5-mile area, but Hart said Monday that parts have been recovered up to 35 miles away. He said they could have been carried that far by the wind.

SpaceShipTwo is carried aloft on the underside of a jet-powered mother ship. It then drops from that ship and fires its own rocket to head higher. The feathers are not supposed to engage until the craft reaches a speed of Mach 1.4, or more than 1,000 mph, the NTSB’s Hart told reporters.

Top-ranked Pella powers past Newton Cardinals bow out of playoffs

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PELLA — Newton High’s Cardinals stood their ground on back-to-back defensive plays to open Monday night’s second-round playoff game against No. 1 Pella.

Right on cue, rain began to come down harder and Little Dutch quarterback Noah Clayberg found Jackson Scholten over the middle for a 34-yard pass play. Two plays later Clayberg slipped past the Cardinals on his way to a 41-yard touchdown run.

Clayberg scored three rushing touchdowns and threw for one score in guiding the undefeated Little Dutch to a 56-14 win over the Cardinals.

Clayberg and the rest of the Pella starters’ work was done by halftime with a commanding 49-0 lead on the visitors from Newton.

“Pella is an outstanding team and they don’t have any weaknesses. Our kids gave a great effort tonight, but Pella poses a lot of problems for you. They are so athletic at every position and execute everything they do,” said Ed Ergenbright, Newton head coach.

“They make you look bad in space. If teams want to run right at us with power, that’s more of what we can defend.

Our kids had great focus practicing to prepare. Man, I don’t know of any team that came play with Pella.”

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Slipping away from Newton High senior Jordan Travis is Pella quarterback Noah Clayberg (3) in the rain during Monday’s Class 3A playoff game at Pella. Clayberg led the No. 1-ranked Little Dutch over the visiting Cardinals, 56-14.

Newton trailed 20-0 with three minutes left in the first quarter. The Cardinals mounted a drive from their own 36-yard line. Wood

broke off a 26-yard run followed by a big gain by Reese Rosenquist. A penalty for a face mask against Pella was tacked on.

The Cardinals were pushing toward the Little Dutch end zone. Wood connected with Jordan Travis to set up a first-and-goal at the 6-yard

line. Newton went backwards from there as Pella stood its ground.

This & That

Things are a bit different this time around

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Clayton Weltha can’t hold back his emotions after playing his final high school football game following the seventh-ranked Raiders’ 24-14 loss to No. 6 Hampton-Dumont in the Class 2A playoffs in Baxter.

No. 6 Hampton-Dumont ends Raiders’ historic run

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

BAXTER — With the game tied at halftime, CollinsMaxwell/Baxter football coach Rob Luther knew the fate of the Raiders’ historic season could quite possibly come down to a few plays.

Unfortunately, he never could have predicted an onside kick would ultimately be the momentum changer.

After going three and out on their first series of the second

half, the Raiders gave up a field goal to Hampton-Dumont early in the third quarter and then failed to recover a short kickoff on the next play.

That was all the momentum the Bulldogs would need as they scored 24 unanswered points during a 24-14 Class 2A postseason victory over previously unbeaten CMB at Jerry Lee Robinson Field on Monday.

“We came out of halftime with the football and a tie game,” Luther said. “We needed

to drive the ball down the field, but we went three and out. Then they caught one on us.

“They didn’t try to onside that ball. The kicker missed it, but it worked out in their favor. That was huge.”

The Raiders scored first and last but managed just 42 rushing yards in the loss. They offense also turned it over four times, while the defense surrendered 254 rushing yards and forced no turnovers.

The last time I worked for the Newton Daily News, I wasn’t married.

And I didn’t have a 22-month o l d daughter.

So it is fair to say this time around will be much dif- By Troy Hyde ferent.

Newton Daily News I won’t Sports Writer work too many mornings or afternoons. I won’t be focused on the same things I was focused on before.

My daughter gets most of my focus these days.

When I am with her, there is really nothing else to worry about.

She is my world during the day and then my world shifts to the area sports scene at night.

I am glad to be back.

I wasn’t a fan of leaving the first time around, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do when it comes to the personal life.

While I was away, it became more and more apparent that there was no way I could just step away from the field and be happy.

I worked in a handful

of sales jobs — insurance, furniture, fitness center and Pepsi.

Those just didn’t do it for me even though the money was good.

I needed to be back in the business. It is who I am and who I want to be.

That’s why I took another leap of faith and jumped back into the business in Marshalltown. I spent just a little more than two years over there working with a great sports editor who taught me a lot about the business.

Hopefully, I can bring what he taught me over here and impact the lives of several who count on the Newton Daily News as a source of information.

Mighty Royals This was the first OctoberI was locked into the Major League Baseball season. The Royals kept us all on board their wild ride and even if you have a rooting interest with a different team, most of the casual baseball fans adopted the Royals as their own.

Alex Gordon, Eric Hosmer and the rest of the Kansas City Royals are easy to root for. The Royals haven’t been good for quite some time and this year’s squad was spectacular.

Duncan Lee made two unassisted tackles and four assisted tackles and Travis had four solos and two assisted tackles. Easley had an interception and blocked an extra-point kick attempt.

Newton finished at 7-4.

“I’d like to thank all the Newton fans for their support this year. We had great support at our win at Clear Creek-Amana last week. We want to thank them for coming out tonight and seeing this through with us,” Ergenbright said.

Continued from Page 1B Newton elected to attempt a 39yard field goal on the final play of the first quarter. Nick Easley’s kick was blocked by Pella’s Will Warner.

Clayberg took over from there, dashing from his own 20 to the Newton 31. The junior quarterback found Austin Schulte for a 31-yard scoring strike on the second play of the second quarter.

Junior Nathan Henry had two touchdown runs in the first quarter for Pella so senior Quinton Murphy decided to get in on the scoring. Murphy gashed the Cardinal defense for a 56-yard run to the end zone. Clayberg had a two-point conversion to push the lead to 35-0.

Clayberg scored twice in the final two minutes of the first half on runs of one yard and 11 yards.

The teams came back out in the rain to play the second half under a running clock. Pella’s reserves scored to push the margin to 56-0.

In the fourth quarter, the Cardinals found the end zone twice. Travis hauled in a 21-yard scoring pass from Wood with 9:37 left on the block.

Easley kicked the extra point. Joseph Banfield had a 5-yard touchdown run at the 1:55 mark with Easley kicking the extra point.

“This has been an awesome group of seniors. There’s four or five kids in that group who have played 30 varsity games for me. The seniors have given us all they have,” Ergenbright said.

“I’m really proud of those guys and the season they had. They lost four games

and two of those to the best team in Class 3A.” Newton lost the services of senior running back Deonne Harris to a shoulder injury in the first half. Rosenquist led the Cardinal ground game with 44 yards on four carries and Banfield had 26 yards on six carries.

Wood gained 16 yards on 18 carries. The senior quarterback went 10of-12 passing with 190 yards with one touchdown pass. He also threw two

interceptions.

Easley finished with five catches for 87 yards. Thongvanh made two catches for 49 yards and Travis had two receptions for 33 yards. Harris came up with one catch for 21 yards.

Leading the Cardinal defense Monday night were Rosenquist with four solo tackles and senior linebacker Brett Wolf with three solos and five assisted tackles. Wood had three unassisted tackles and two assisted tackles.

CMB

Continued from Page 1B “The turnovers just killed us, too,” Luther said. “But besides that, the biggest thing for us was we couldn’t run the football. But no one has run the ball on them all year long.

That’s a really good defensive line over there.”

The Raiders jumped out to a 7-0 lead early in the first quarter when sophomore Hunter McWhirter found junior wideout Brady Stover on a 20yard touchdown completion.

Stover also caught a 27-yard touchdown pass from from Nate Bishop with 3:11 to play in the game, but CMB’s final possession ended with a lost fumble in the final minutes.

Stover finished with 11 catches for 178 yards and two scores in the game, but the sixthranked Bulldogs (10-1) took away Kemp with constant double teams. The Eastern Michigan recruit had just three catches for 28 yards and he also rushed for 12 yards on three carries.

Cole Miller was part of all three Hampton-Dumont touchdowns. He hooked up with Charlie Flickinger for a 23-yard score to tie the game at 7-all late in the first half.

After Bailey Miller gave the Bulldogs the lead for good with a 28-yard field goal, Cole Miller then made it 17-7 with another touchdown pass, this time connecting with Kyle O’Brien from 18 yards out.

His 1-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter made it 24-7.

The Bulldogs finished with 254 yards on the ground and Cole Miller added another 119 through the air as HamptonDumont will host Dyersville Beckman Catholic in a Friday quarterfinal.

“We belonged on the field with that team,” Luther said.

“They are an awfully good football team, but it was about

Top Four craziness The biggest debate in college football these days revolves around the final four teams that the committee has narrowed

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s Hunter Gunderson (28) collides with HamptonDumont’s Trevor Eiklenborg (12) during a Class 2A playoff football game in Baxter on Monday. The seventh-ranked Raiders lost to the sixthranked Bulldogs 24-14.

who made the most plays and tonight that was them.

“We didn’t handle them in the trenches very well on either side of the ball.”

The yardage wasn’t too lopsided in one team’s favor and the Bulldogs only ran six more offensive plays than CMB. But the difference was in time of possession, and Hampton-Dumont’s power running game held the ball for 13 more minutes.

“Even when they didn’t score, they moved the chains, ate up clock and didn’t give us enough opportunities,” Luther said.

Despite the loss, the Raiders still did something no other CMB team has ever done.

They won a district championship while finishing the regular season undefeated. And it came after missing out on the postseason in consecutive years.

“When you get leadership and you want to be coached, good things can happen,” said Luther of the quick turnaround.

“I thought this summer, we had

down a bit.

Right now, on this day, my top four includes TCU, Oregon, Alabama and Mississippi.

TCU got a big road win over West Virginia this past weekend. They appear to be headed for the final four game as long as they don’t trip up in the final weeks of the season.

I think Alabama will

a chance. I would never predict an undefeated season, but I knew the team would be better.

“I think this will springboard us into next year, too. We have a really good group of sophomores and juniors. We have some horses in the stall and this was a great learning experience for them to see what it will take to go even one more step.”

McWhirter finished 16-of34 for 154 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions.

Nate Bishop engineered a fourth quarter scoring drive and was 5-of-10 for 106 yards and a score in the loss.

The Raiders (10-1) were held to just 42 yards rushing.

Blake Coughenour had 20 yards on eight carries to lead the way.

Hunter Gunderson complimented Stover’s big game with five catches for 60 yards in the passing game.

Kendrick Suntken led the Bulldogs with 97 rushing yards on 15 carries, but Bailey Miller also had 82 yards on 12 car-

be the best team in the country before it’s all said and done. Florida State is the one team in the top 12 that can’t afford to lose. And the SEC will play elimination games every week from here on out.

ries. Parker Claypool was Cole Miller’s favorite target in the passing game as he finished with three catches for 67 yards.

Kemp and Clayton Weltha led the Raider defense in their final high school game. Kemp finished with 11 1/2 tackles, two tackles for loss and a sack, while Weltha added 10 1/2 tackles and two tackles for loss.

“I am going to remember our seniors,” Luther said in reference to what he’ll remember most about the historic season. “We have had some good seasons in the past, but I am not sure we had a group of kids that played this together. They are real unselfish group. It was fun all season long. We battled tonight, but they were a little better than us.

“We continued to fight in the fourth quarter even though we were down. They truly believed we could still win.”

Early-morning dreams more active than usual?

Did they draw up subconscious sludge or take you to mysterious alternative lands? The morning Aries moon forms terse angles with Mars and then Pluto to make sure that whatever is going on in the far reaches of the psyche gets brought to the surface in some manner or form.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 4). You have followed teachers and dutifully served bosses.

You’ve tended to parents and children alike. This year it’s about you. In a weird way, you become your own role model, trusting yourself to be who you are, no apologies. January brings a new source of income.

February, June and August bring travel. Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 44, 10, 3, 40 and 19.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You didn’t plan to be where you are — you couldn’t have planned it. Remember that when you’re not sure what the next move is. Your intuition hasn’t led you

wrong yet, and it won’t as long as you dare to follow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You know it, they know it — this routine is getting boring.

If you don’t crack the monotony, who will? Music, fun, intrigue, humor —bring out the big ideas.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). There’s someone you want to get to know, and you have the courage to break the ice today, so go for it. The initial approach will be the hardest part. Things will flow quite naturally from there.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Doing what you love is only fun today if what you love loves you back. So go where the reciprocal energy is. It’s like you’re meeting life halfway, and life appreciates the effort.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The job market is changing. No one knows the jobs that will be important in the future. This is nothing to worry about.

Rather, it’s an invitation to

build relevant skills. What do you want to know?

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll have to bridge the gap for the less than socially aware by spelling out your expectations, asking direct questions and making specific requests. It will be worth the extra effort.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Most people only appreciate what is difficult to obtain. You’re smarter.

You recognize the wonders right at your fingertips and don’t hesitate to make the most of them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are too many options available to you to suffer through less than hospitable environments.

Avoid unwelcoming places. Go where you’re greeted with open arms.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Very few people, if anyone, will get what you’re about today. Don’t be disheartened if they don’t understand you. It’s just because you’re either ahead of your time or thinking on a deeper level than most.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

An internal struggle could be stressing you — a battle between who you think you should be and who you essentially are.

You don’t need to change or try. Acceptance will bring peace and forward movement.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). The day starts out hectic, but by early afternoon you’ll stop and realize all is well. There’s nothing you need or want. Enjoy the contentment and satisfaction while it lasts. Tomorrow brings new ambition.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are steps to take and agreements to make — and someone seems to be standing in the way. Honest differences are a sign of healthy interaction. You can work this out with patience, charm and creativity.
