Newton Airport honors Earl Johnson’s legacy

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

A

large crowd was on hand to honor Earl Johnson at a ribbon-cutting for the name change of the airport to Newton Municipal Airport - Earl Johnson Field. The change was approved by the Newton City Council at a June meeting and a plaque was placed at the airport for the man who did so much for the industry.

“What can I say except it is wonderful,” Johnson said.

Johnson created Johnson Aviation in October 1949. During his career in the airport fixed based operator business, he drove change and growth in general aviation. He was charged early on with growing and developing high standards for aviation in central Iowa, said Ethan Nasalroad, president of Johnson Aviation.

Park Board approves new Aurora Park playground equipment Golf, pool fees to remain the same in 2016

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News Aurora Park will see an upgrade next spring.

Newton Park Board members approved a playground selection at its November board meeting Wednesday night at city hall.

Cunningham Recreation playground design Option 1 was chosen as the new equipment at the park in southeast Newton. The part modern, part traditional playground will include playground structures such as slides, swings and a high demand expression swing which would allow a parent

and child to swing together.

The park will also include a new playground-style 75-foot zipline. The Sky Run zipline will come with a warranty and can hold up to 14,000 pounds. The plan meets the $50,000 budget, which includes product, surfacing, delivery and a two-day supervised installation.

“I love the zipline idea and think it will be really neat. It will be a cool, new attraction to a park that could use some excitement,” board member Amanda Price said.

As an aircraft dealer, charter pilot, corporate pilot, airport manager, flight instructor and pilot examiner in the new and growing industry, he set an extremely high standard for safety and quality.

As an instructor, Johnson had a way of teaching a person without knowing them and had a reputation as a tough examiner who always gave a fair and thorough check ride, he said.

After he became an airport manager, he was always the one who was up early and out late to keep the runway open and clear of snow, often for him to use later on that day, Nasalroad said. He was instrumental in keeping the airport up-to-date with current technology and new safety standards as the field became more complex.

The Newton Police Department is asking for the public’s help in locating a man who allegedly robbed a convenience store at gunpoint on Wednesday night.

Police were called to the Casey’s General Store at 1200 W. 18th St. S. at approximately 7:40 p.m. about a robbery in progress. Prior to the arrival of the NPD the suspect fled the scene on foot in an unknown direction.

Police say the suspect is a white male, approximately 5 feet 8 inches tall, medium to heavy build, wearing a black ski mask, black sweatshirt, dark blue or black pants and black shoes.

He was armed with a black handgun and fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of money. The firearm was not discharged and no injuries were reported at the scene.

Cancer screenings men should consider Newton Daily News Cancer screenings play an important role in cancer prevention. Screenings may not prevent people from getting cancer, but they can detect the presence of cancer before a person begins to experience any signs or symptoms. Screenings also can help doctors catch cancer before it metastasizes, or spreads, to areas of the body outside the area where it originated.

Men also can benefit from screenings, discussing the pros and cons of each with their physicians during routine health examinations.

Colon cancer: Men should begin getting screened for colon cancer at age 50, though those with family histories of colon cancer or other colon issues should begin even earlier, as family history increases a man’s risk of developing colon cancer. Colon cancer screenings may discover a type of growth known as a polyp, which is typically benign and can be removed before it develops into cancer. The American Cancer Society notes that men have various options to choose from with regard to screening for colon cancer. Such options include a colonoscopy, a stool DNA test and a camera pill. Speak to your physician about these options and discuss your family history, which will influence how frequently you need to be screened for colon cancer.

Lung cancer: Screening for lung cancer is most

important for men who currently or recently smoked.

The United States Preventive Services Task Force recommends annual screening for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for men between the ages of 55 and 80 who have a 30 packyear smoking history and currently smoke or have quit within the past 15 years. Screening should be discontinued once a man has not smoked for 15 years or has developed a health problem that substantially limits a man’s life expectancy or his ability or willingness to undergo curative lung surgery. The ACS notes that the risks associated with lung cancer screenings typically outweigh the benefits for men who have never smoked or quit long ago.

Prostate cancer: The National Cancer Institute notes that prostate cancer is the most common nonskin cancer among men in the United States. Being 50 years of age, black and/or having a brother, son or father who had prostate cancer increase a man’s risk of developing the disease. The NCI notes that screening tests for prostate cancer, which include a digital rectal exam and a prostate-specific antigen test, come with risks, and men should discuss these risks and the potential benefits of prostate cancer screenings before deciding to be screened.

Cancer screenings can detect cancer in its earliest stages, and as men get older, they should discuss their screening options with their physicians.

Squashing myths about carbs

By Emily Ring Newton Hy-Vee Registered Dietitian Fall has officially begun, and with the chilly season comes the opportunity for consuming delicious in-season produce. Great options that are plentiful during fall are spaghetti, acorn and butternut squash as well as root vegetables, such as turnips and beets.

Some fall produce are higher in carbohydrates than most other produce, so it often raises the question: “Should I be eating this?”

Discussion about carbohydrates is a hot topic right now, so you may be surprised to hear that 45 percent to 65 percent of your daily caloric intake should come from carbohydrates. It is important that you are choosing the right carbohydrates the majority of the time.

So what are considered the “right” carbohydrates?

The carbohydrates you want to choose most often are the ones that are the most nutrient-dense. These would include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes and milk.

They include plenty of fiber, vitamins and minerals. Your fall produce is a great way to get these nutrient-dense carbohydrates into your diet.

The health benefits of consuming winter squash are endless, too. One cup of winter squash contains vitamin C, B vitamins, potassium, fiber and almost 60 percent of your daily recommended intake of vitamin A. This fall, make sure to experiment with winter squash. It’s so easy to prepare, delicious and nutritious.

Another tasty in season item is beets. They are an excellent source of folate and easy to prepare by roasting, microwaving or even eating raw. Try the recipe below for a new healthy side dish.

Lemon-Herb Roasted Beets Serves 4 (about 2/3 cup each) 1 ½ pounds golden or red beets, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces of wedges 4 tsp extra-virgin olive oil 2 tbsp chopped fresh or 2 tsp dried herbs (marjoram, oregano and/or rosemary) 1 tsp freshly grated lemon zest ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp ground pepper 1 tbsp lemon juice, optional 1. Position rack in lower third of oven; preheat to 450 degrees.

2. Combine oil, herbs, lemon zest, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add beets; toss to coat with the seasoning mixture.

3. Spread beets evenly on a rimmed baking sheet.

4. Roast, stirring once or twice, until the beets are tender and browned, 20 to 25 minutes.

Toss the roasted vegetables with lemon juice, if using.

park superintendent Nathan Unsworth, were in attendance. Public Works director Keith Laube and Newton City Council member Evelyn George were also at the meeting.

The board also discussed 2016 park and golf fees Wednesday night, and Unsworth proposed that the city make no fee changes to the upcoming year.

Board members reviewed a numbers analysis of usage and revenue and decided to keep 2016 golf fees the same as 2015. Compared to central Iowa courses, Westwood is competitive and affordable, however, compared to local county courses, Westwood fees remain on the higher end. The board feels its current golf fees are adequate due to the quality maintenance and difficulty of the course.

“We’ve got the best course around, and we’ve got the best greens keeper around that takes care of it, too,” Jackson said.

Maytag Pool fees will remain the same with the exception of the Maytag Park Pool Pavilion rental which will be lowered from $65 to $40 to encourage greater use of the facility.

The board will present the playground proposal to Newton City Council on Nov. 16. The new playground will be installed early spring 2016.

“Renaming the field was an idea that Jim Miller, Bill Smothers and I had kicked around for awhile.

We thought, I wondering if Earl wouldn’t want it, and Jim said, it doesn’t matter we’re going to do it anyway. It’s just that fitting,” Nasalroad said.

Newton Mayor Mike Hansen told a story about taking his first ride in a multi-engine airplane that happened to be piloted by Johnson.

“We had just completed the maintenance on this aircraft, so he was taking it out for the check ride. We headed south over the Red Rock Reservoir area and unbeknownst to me, he puts the aircraft through a number of checks and balances.

The first things I saw out there was both props turning and all of a sudden one prop starts slowing and stops. My heart immediately goes up into my throat and I think, ‘I know how to swim but I don’t know if I can swim across an entire lake.’ Pretty soon the prop came back on,” Hansen said.

“When Ethan and Bill called me earlier this year and told me about what they wanted to do in recognition of Earl’s work at the airport, I could think of person more deserving.”

Johnson has also been recognized in the Iowa Aviation Museum in Greenfield as a first generation fixed based operator and at the Spaulding Center for Transportation, Iowa Transportation Museum as a “hero of industry and technology.”

Iowa’s furbearer season opens Saturday Newton Daily News Iowa is at the top of another national list, ranking in the top five in the country for the number of furharvesters.

“We have quite a few active trappers here,” said Vince Evelsizer, furbearer biologist with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. “We have a good thing going in our state and want it to continue. Our trappers represent the activity in a positive light and we appreciate them for it.”

Trapping requires skill and knowledge to be successful. Evelsizer began learning those skills as a child carrying traps and stakes while tagging along with his dad.

“We would walk sections of streams and the

Upper Iowa River where I learned to identify active fur sign. That’s what I enjoyed the most,” he said.

It’s those experiences and skills he will be passing along to his own 10 year old son this year.

Iowa’s trapping season opens Saturday and based on population surveys, trappers can expect to find nearly all furbearer populations trending up with the exception of skunks, mink and red fox that are lower but vary by region, Evelsizer said.

“We’ve had a few local outbreaks of distemper in our raccoon population and trapping is an effective management tool to help keep raccoons and other predators like coyotes in check,” he said. The appearance of disease is more common when popula-

tions are higher and that is especially true with raccoons.

North Iowa’s muskrat population is on the uptick which is positive news because marshes with muskrats are more attractive to waterfowl — including trumpeter swans. Muskrats normal feeding and hut building habits help keep areas of the marsh vegetation free, which benefits other wildlife, and waterfowl use muskrat huts for nesting and loafing.

“We see far more waterfowl using marshes that have muskrats, especially in the spring, than marshes that don’t,” Evelsizer said.

Being a successful trapper is a process of learning and honing outdoor skills needed to identify signs the animal leaves behind.

There’s a little Griswold in all of us

By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | Nov. 5, 2015

Now that the Halloween costumes are safely stored away in crates and closets — to be remembered fondly like radio’s one hit wonders — and children have made it about halfway through their jack-o-lantern pails of candy corn and confectioneries, it’s time to dust off the ornaments and garland. The holiday season is here.

Being a journalist during the holidays is a great diversion from the hard news of every day reporting. Even in our fast-paced world, this is still the time of year where life seems to slow down, take a breath and allows the joy of family, friends and faith — if only for a moment.

I was on duty for the Newton Daily News for my first Jasper County Courthouse Lighting Ceremony. Rising above downtown Newton like a holiday monolith, the courthouse lighting brings small town Christmas motifs in the form of a towering stone Christmas tree. Being from a larger city, it was a welcomed cultural shift to see a community enjoy decorating three courthouse floors worth of Christmas trees, sing and celebrating together on the courthouse steps despite the differences they might have.

Coordinating the Jasper County Tribune in Colfax, has allowed me to become a

player in a downtown holiday celebrations. Nothing says Americana more than Colfax’s Country Christmas.

Santa Claus posing for pictures in the town bank, carriage rides through the downtown square, hot chocolate, a wreath auction in one of the local law offices and traveling carolers who sing Christmas classics in each shop — it doesn’t get more small town charming than that.

In the Tribune office, we partnered with a Chicago nonprofit to send cards made

by Colfax kids to hospitalized children. The cards were sent all around the country sending warm greetings.

I used to be one of the

holiday season nay-sayers, complaining about trees and Christmastime merchandise popping up in department stores even before the last pumpkin was carved. Nowadays, I welcome the holidays as a time for reflection on the year and a season to reconnect with my family.

In my house, we put up the Christmas tree the week after Halloween. So, it’s time to take out the saw — which is only used one time per year — and go a little Clark W. Griswold. It’s Christmas time.

Letters to the Editor

November is National Hospice Month Jesse Iverson Skiff Hospice Clinical Coordinator November is National Hospice Month and hospices across the country are reaching out to raise awareness about the highest quality care for all people coping with life-limiting illness.

“Every year, nearly 1.6 million people living with a life-limiting illness receive care from hospice and palliative care providers in this country,” said J. Donald Schumacher, president and CEO of the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization. “These highly-trained professionals ensure that patients

Benghazi hearings based on a lie Sam Osborne West Branch What has been learned about Benghazi is that the entire intent of the hearings rests on a lie— it isn’t about what Republicans have been lying that it is about.

As Republican House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy let slip, it has been a strategy to bring down Hillary Clinton’s poll numbers.

Thus from start to no-finish Benghazi has been a fid profusely dripping from the lips of some lying Republicans attempting to paint another person as a liar as

and families find dignity, respect, and love during life’s most difficult journey.”

Hospice is not a place. Hospice programs provide pain management, symptom control, psychosocial support, and spiritual care to patients and their families when a cure is not possible.

Hospice care combines the highest level of quality medical care with the emotional and spiritual support that families need most when facing the end of life.

Through this specialized quality care, we see many patients and their families experience more meaningful moments together.

Hospice helps them focus on living despite a terminal diagnoses.

During the month of November, Skiff Hospice will be hosting activities to increase awareness about hospice. Skiff Hospice will be hosting its annual concert at 7 p.m. on Nov. 10 at First Christian Church in Newton. This year’s performers will be 4 His Grace, Terry Bradley and Brian Keeton, and Sounds of Inspiration. The concert is open to the public.

they lie in pretense that they are really interested in national security.

This is an inane twist to an old homiletic: “you’re doing as we say (lying) and not as we’re doing (lying).” And in issue of some other old bits of description, the whole pot of Republican confabulators attempt to call the kettle (little miss teapot Clinton) black and only end up making her look as pure as the driven snow — although she is just one of us fallible humans.

Republicans addled by being so far over their head in a swamp of their own hypocrisy insist on pumping out a stream of more of the same. Beyond this being

a real Benghazi the Republicans, the fact for the nation is our need to be joining together to move forward up and on to ever higher ground in the best of times for us all — thus so with a person like Bennie Sanders as president.

However, this pack of insistent Republican liars may well get Hillary Clinton elected and she is going to be their very worst nightmare that sends them off into a reeking black lagoon full of the garbage they keep spewing. Meanwhile, entertaining any further consideration of House Republicans on the immorality of lying is akin to commiserating with the devil over the wages of sin.

Growing up, Dillyn enjoyed hunting and racing ATV four-wheelers. He was a strong kid, athlet ic, and an excellent wrestler.

In fact, while wrestling in midd le school, By Curt Swarm he was Guest Columnist undefeated and never pinned.

One night, just after Christmas, when Tammy picked him up after practice, Dillyn grabbed his chest. Tammy thought he had pulled a muscle, so she took him to the chiropractor.

A couple of day’s later, on a Friday, Dillyn had developed a cough and little red spots appeared on both legs from his shin to the tip of his toes.

(They now know this was petechiae — caused by a low number of platelets.)

Tammy didn’t mess around. She took him to see their family physician, Dr. Situmeang. Tammy is convinced God put just the right people in Dillyn’s path at just the right time. Dr. Situmeang was the first of many such people.

Dr. “Situ” had blood drawn and seemed concerned about the numbers. He told Tammy, “I’m going to call the University of Iowa Hospital and see if I can get him in tonight.”

Tammy thought, “What in the world?” because, at this point, she was still thinking pulled muscle.

Dr. Situ had more blood drawn to recheck the numbers. He told Tammy and Dillyn he wanted to “rule out leukemia.”

The University of Iowa Hospital wanted Dillyn’s blood checked again in a week to see if his numbers were going up or down. Dr. Situ wasn’t

comfortable with the wait, but let Tammy take Dillyn home with the instructions that they were to “keep Dillyn in a bubble” and that if anything changed, they were to get Dillyn right back into the Henry County Hospital.

Dr. Situ was making an appointment for Dillyn on Monday morning at Iowa City, and if they weren’t back on Monday morning, he was “sending the police after them.” A normal person’s platelet count is between 150,000 and 300,000. Dillyn’s was 34,000.

The next morning, Saturday, 13-year old Dillyn had big red spots on his chest in the heart area. They took him back to the Henry County Hospital and found that his platelet count had dropped to 24,000. So they knew it was dropping.

They rushed Dillyn to the University of Iowa Children’s Hospital Emergency Room.

Angel number two flew into their lives. Dillyn’s ER doctor, Carlyn Christensen Slanzksi, was the pediatrician who had delivered Dillyn and his sister, Jayde. Dr. Christensen Slanzksi ordered a blood smear, revealing blast cells, which are cancerous. But they didn’t know what kind of cancer. His platelet count was 19,000.

On Monday, Dillyn underwent a bone-marrow biopsy. Being a wrestler, Dillyn bridged up while sedated and tried to do a reversal. It took four people to hold him down.

Dillyn’s platelet count was in the single digits.

Diagnosis on January 12, 2009: lymphoblastic leukemia.

Dillyn underwent 3.5 years of daily chemo therapy, most of it administered at home by his mother, Tammy. His last day of treatment was on Mother’s Day, 2009.

What a Mother’s Day present! He missed over 300 days of school, but still managed to graduate in the upper 15 percent of his class of 2013.

He is now studying aerospace engineering at Iowa State University.

Thank a veteran with a haircut at Great Clips this Veterans Day Newton Daily News Across the nation, Great Clips salons and their customers are showing their appreciation to veterans and members of the military with the “You Can Thank a Veteran” promotion.

On Veterans Day, Nov. 11, all customers who get a haircut at a U.S. Great Clips salon get a free haircut card they can give as a thank you to an active, inactive or retired military member of any branch, including the National Guard. Limit one card per customer, while supplies last.

Veterans and active service members who come in to a Great Clips salon in your area on Nov. 11 get either a free haircut or a

free haircut card to redeem with proof of military service through Dec. 31 at any U.S. Great Clips salon.

Now in its third consecutive year, Great Clips’ “You Can Thank a Veteran” promotion has provided nearly half a million free haircuts for military members and veterans.

“Great Clips realizes there is no amount of gratitude we can show to the men and women who have served our country. Giving them a great haircut is a simple, yet meaningful, way to show appreciation for everything our veterans and service members have done for us,” says Great Clips CEO Rhoda Olsen, whose husband is a Vietnam veteran. “We

invite people to get a haircut at Great Clips on Veterans Day and pick up a free haircut card to pass on to a veteran — whether the veteran is a family member, neighbor, colleague or just someone they know.”

“We encourage everyone to spread the word about our ‘You Can Thank a Veteran’ promotion and visit Great Clips for a haircut on Nov. 11,” says Terri Miller, Great Clips senior vice president of marketing and communications. “Great Clips salon owners and their stylists are excited to extend this year’s Veterans Day offer to as many veterans and service members as possible and exceed the 225,000 free haircuts they provided in 2014.”

Daughter avoids mom’s calls after exhausting day at work DEAR ABBY: My mother calls me all the time. I answer sometimes, but sometimes I don’t because I feel she wants to know too much about my life.

I work full time with the public.

When I get home, I’m tired. I have talked to people all day long, and I really don’t feel like entertaining her.

My mother tends to be negative, snotty and, most of the time, offensive.

If there’s a storm or an accident on the news, she calls me repeatedly until I call back. Who wants to call someone back who acts that way?

I try to be positive and upbeat.

Sometimes she drains my energy. Do you have any advice for me? — PUT OFF IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST DEAR PUT OFF: Yes. Explain to your mother that at the end of the day you don’t have the energy to carry on a lengthy conversation with her. It wouldn’t be rude; it’s the truth. If she calls because she’s worried that the bad news she hears in the media could be about you, tell her that you have her listed as someone to contact if there is an emergency. Continue to be positive and upbeat, and stop hiding from your mother.

DEAR ABBY: Would you PLEASE say a few words to those discourteous individuals in the gym who, even at 6 a.m., think it’s all right to sit on a piece of exercise equipment, texting, while others wait to complete their weight-training workouts and get to work? — TED ON THE EAST COAST DEAR TED: The first rule of basic etiquette ANYwhere is to show consideration for the people around you.

This applies not only to gym-goers who hog the equipment while texting, but also to the ones who carry on extended conversations while straddling the treadmill, sitting on equipment others are waiting to use, and failing to wipe away the perspiration they dripped on the machines while they

were exercising.

Oh! And let’s not overlook those who slather on perfume before going to the gym, despite the fact that as one sweats the odor is magnified — or worse, people who “forget” to use deodorant. (Have I covered it all?)

DEAR ABBY: I am 13 and the only job I have is baby-sitting. My brother and his girlfriend ask me to baby-sit their two kids, ages 9 and 6.

They haven’t paid me for the last five times I’ve watched them. They say I should do it for free because it’s my niece and nephew.

Shouldn’t I get paid? What should I do? Shouldn’t they pay me for the other times before I watch them again? — WORKING TEEN IN IOWA DEAR TEEN: If you had another way of earning money, I would say that, yes, you should watch your niece and nephew occasionally without charging. However, if your brother and his girlfriend agreed to pay in the past and have suddenly stopped, they are taking advantage of you. If that’s the case, you have the right to deny your services until you receive what they owe.

A word of advice: This will happen less often if you communicate in advance that you charge for baby-sitting, how much you want to be paid and you expect that to happen at the time of service.

Sully’s Freedom Rock honors veterans Personalized pavers available to salute a hero

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News SULLY — A series of personalized brick pavers lies in front the Jasper County Freedom Rock that sits near the southeast corner of the town square in Sully.

Pavers of two sizes are sold by the Sully Foundation as a way for anyone to salute a fellow military veteran — living or deceased — for their service. These small pavers are growing in number, thanks in part to a recent campaign to have a large batch engraved at one time.

Margaret Vander Weerdt, editor of the Hometown Press newspaper, is one of the people helping to organize a drive to order the pavers in bulk. A deadline recently passed for a mass order, but Vander Weerdt said orders for the memorial pavers can still be made.

“The veteran doesn’t even need to have ties to the area,” she said. “We just put in a deadline so that we could order several pavers at once, but more can still be ordered.”

Raymond “Bubba” Sorensen II, of Greenfield, painted the rock.

It was the 17th of the 99 county rocks in the Freedom Rock Tour he made plans to paint in Iowa. The rock and the area around it was dedicated during Sully’s 2014 Fourth of July celebration.

The east face of the rock includes the sketch based on Sgt. William Jasper rallying the troops at Fort Sullivan, S.C. There is space on each order form for a veteran’s name and a brief message; all lettering will be centered.

If a name has many characters, the engraver will use a smaller size of lettering to make all the characters fit.

The cost of the pavers is $75 for a 4-by-8 block and $125 for an

Kraft Heinz to close 7 plants in US, Canada, cut 2,600 jobs The Associated Press IOWA CITY — Kraft Heinz will close seven plants in the U.S. and Canada as part of a downsizing that will eliminate 2,600 jobs, or roughly 14 percent of its North American factory workforce, the newly merged food company announced Wednesday.

The company said the closures, which will take place over the next two years, are part of a plan to save $1.5 billion in operating costs by the end of 2017. The plants slated for closure are in California, Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Ontario.

Among the hardest hit cities will be Madison, Wisconsin,

where a nearly century-old Oscar Mayer plant that employs 700 production workers will close. Kraft Heinz said it would also move about 250 corporate jobs from Madison to Chicago, the company’s co-headquarters along with Pittsburgh.

One of the plant’s workers, 46-year-old Rick Schroeder, said he was stunned to hear about the closing through news reports rather than from the company. He said his father also worked at the plant for 35 years and operated a pig farm, and remembers going with his father to deliver pigs to the plant.

“They always say when one door closes, another opens,” said Schroeder, a janitor at the

plant. “Gotta have faith. Move on, that’s all you can do. Sad day in Madison.”

The company said it would also close plants in Fullerton and San Leandro, California; Federalsburg, Maryland; St. Marys, Ontario, Canada; Campbell, New York; and Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. The plants make a range of products, including cold cuts, salad dressing, macaroni and coffee.

The company also will shift meat production from its Oscar Mayer plant in Davenport, Iowa, to a planned $203 million plant that will be built several miles away. City and state officials said the new plant is expected to retain at least 475 jobs, compared to more than

1,200 jobs at the existing plant, which is touted as the world’s largest bologna factory.

“Our members are scared of the unknown,” said Jerry Messer, president of the Davenport chapter of the United Food and Production Workers, which represents employees.

But he said he was glad jobs weren’t expected to be cut for two years, and he hoped the new factory would eventually bring growth.

The Iowa Economic Development Authority will meet Thursday to consider approving a package that includes $1.75 million in tax benefits for the new plant and a $3 million forgivable loan to the company to demolish the old one. The

city is expected to add a 15-year tax rebate worth an estimated $10 million.

Authority spokeswoman Tina Hoffman defended the investment, despite the expected job cuts.

“It’s certainly an unfortunate situation,” she said. “We have been working closely with the community to make sure we could position Davenport to retain as many jobs as possible and position that facility for future growth.”

Some downsizing had been expected following the merger of Kraft and Heinz earlier this year. After the facilities close, Kraft Heinz will have 41 plants in North America that employ about 18,000 people.

Tradition of excellence in music continues at NHS Newton Daily News Newton High School continues its strong tradition of excellence in music with the Newton High School Cardinal Regiment receiving a Division I rating at the State Marching Band Competition on Oct. 17 in Waukee for the fourth consecutive year.

The Cardinal Regiment also competed in the Waukee Invitational on Oct. 17.

Newton placed fourth in Class 4A out of 11 bands competing and the band’s drumline received a caption award for best drumline in Class 4A. It was a fitting way to end a great marching band season, but let’s start at the beginning.

The Cardinal Regiment kicked off the 2015-16 school year by participating in several marching band competitions throughout Central Iowa.

The first marching band competition of the season for the Regiment was the Sixth Annual

Submitted Photo Newton High School Cardinal Regiment received a I rating at the State Marching Band Competition held in October at Waukee. This marks the fourth consecutive year the band has achieved a Division I rating at the state competition.

Marching Dutch Invitational Sept. 26 in Pella. The regiment placed fourth in Class 4A. Twenty of the area’s best high school marching bands competed for top honors in four classes.

The band then traveled to the Urbandale Marching Invitational Oct. 3 at the Urbandale High School stadium.

The Cardinal Regiment again competed in Class 4A along with Fort Dodge, Roosevelt, East and Southeast Polk. The marching

band finished second in their class and Logan Heisdorffer was named the “Outstanding Marcher.”

On Oct. 10, the band traveled to Valley Stadium to compete in the 36th Annual ValleyFest and Showdown in West Des Moines. More than 25 of the Midwest’s finest high school marching bands performed at this “invitation only” competition.

Newton competed in Class 4A along with other bands from central Iowa and finished

sixth. The highlight of ValleyFest came during the awards presentation following the conclusion of the day show. Newton drum majors Kathryn Thorpe, daughter of Jim and Joan Thorpe; Kate Wyre, daughter of Stacey Raines and Bill Wyre; and Evelyn Berryhill, daughter of Megan Berryhill, received the caption award for the “Class 4A Outstanding Drum Majors” for the fourth year in a row. The Cardinal Regiment drum ma-

jors have been selected for this prestigious award since 2012 and the success continues.

Alex Doepp was named “Outstanding Marcher” at ValleyFest. The Regiment placed 14th in their division at Showdown that evening. The Cardinal Regiment is under the direction of Jim Beerends, director, and Seth and Michelle Banwell, assistant directors.

Please continue to support music and arts in the Newton High School. The concert

bands are busy preparing for the Winter Concert and the first jazz band competitions.

The Winter Concert will be at 6:30 p.m.

Dec. 7 in the Center for Performing Arts at Newton High School.

Music education fosters creativity, teaches effective communication, provides basic tools for a critical assessment of the world around us, and encourages the abiding values of self-discipline and commitment. Music is, furthermore, an important means to self-discovery and self-expression.

Therefore, instruction in music and other arts must be viewed as central to a complete education — not only by virtue of their intrinsic worth, but also because they are fundamental to what it means to be an educated person, according to The Report of the National Commission on Music Education — “Growing up Complete: The Importance for Music Education.”

Ready to make a splash at state Aquagirls to compete in state diving, swimming meet

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton/Colf a x - M i n g o / P e l l a ’s Aquagirls have a tradition of qualifying for state swimming competition. There’s been a representative from NCMP at the state meet for 23 straight years under head coach Sarah Patterson.

Patterson and longtime assistant coach Chris Forsyth guide seven swimmers and one diver toward and through Friday and Saturday’s 2015 Iowa Girls’ High School Athletic Union State Swimming and Diving Championships in Marshalltown. NCMP has three state meet veteran swimmers and five first-time state competitors in four swimming events and the diving event.

Seniors Samantha Hedrick and Sydney Jenkins are headed to their fourth straight state meet while senior Hannah Rhoads makes a third consecutive trip to state. Newcomers are senior Elizabeth

Myers, junior Sarah Prendergast and sophomores Alexis Stout and Madeline Webb in swimming and sophomore Morgann Eide in diving.

“We’re so happy to have this group going to state with the girls who’ve never qualified before,” Patterson said.

“We’ve always focused on having a great family-type atmosphere surrounding our team.

To have the five newcomers go to state with these three seniors is great because Samantha, Hannah and Sydney will help the others do well and enjoy the state meet experience.”

The IGHSAU State Diving and Swimming Championship meet is at the Marshalltown YMCA-YWCA. The state diving is at 5 p.m. Friday with doors opening to the public at 4 p.m. The state swimming events begin at noon Saturday with the doors opening to the public at 11 a.m.

Admission to each session is $10, students NCMP | 2B

Hawks to face No. 9 Mount Ayr in first quarterfinal in three seasons

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Lynnville-Sully senior Kobe Fisk catches a long pass to set up a short touchdown run for the Hawks in their 29-28 win over No. 8 Winfield-Mount Union Monday in Class A football playoffs. The Hawks take on No. 9 Mount Ayr Friday in a quarterfinal game at Mount Ayr.

Lynnville-Sully coach Mike Parkinson was noticeably down on his football team after his Hawks dropped a 40-14 contest at Colfax-Mingo in Week 3.

Parkinson knew his team could play better and pleaded to them to step up and answer the call.

Eight games later, it is safe to say that the call has been answered.

Lynnville-Sully has gone 7-1 since that loss to the Tigerhawks, and Parkinson’s squad has found an identity along the way.

After two down-to-the-wire playoff games, the Hawks have a chance to add to their historic season when they travel 140 miles to Southwest Iowa to face the Class A No. 9 Mount Ayr Raiders.

A big reason for the Hawks’ turnaround, according to Parkinson, is due to members of the team finally believing they are a good football team.

“We have been telling them all year that they are a good football team,” Parkinson said.

“I think they are finally believing themselves that they are a good football team. I think they have confidence in what we are doing, and our group is ready to go.”

The Class A quarterfinals is new territory for this particular group of student-athletes at Lynnville-Sully. The last time the Hawks (8-3) made it this far in the postseason was 2012.

This year’s senior class were freshmen that year.

That’s much different than Mount Ayr, which lost to eventual state champion Logan-Magnolia in last year’s state semifinals. This will be the Raiders’ third quarterfinal game in the past four seasons.

“It’s pretty amazing when you think about it,” Mount Ayr co-head coach Delwyn Showalter said. “This is our sixth home playoff game in the last two years. Our 15th home game overall in the last two years. I think for us to have this opportunity at home is a really nice feeling.”

This year’s Raiders (9-2) look different along the offensive and defensive lines, but the skill positions guys are back.

Mount Ayr’s style of play remains the same. The Raiders want to play smashmouth football and run the ball 60 or more times per game.

For the most part, that style has worked. Mount Ayr lost its first two games of the season to two 2A programs that combined to go 16-2 during the regular season. Since then, the Raiders have won nine straight

— all against Class A foes — and are averaging 44 points per game and giving up only eight.

“They like to run the football and have lots of speed,” Parkinson said. “If we can match that speed, we’ll be OK. If we can’t, we’ll have to figure something else out.

“They have a strong group of seniors that have been here before. This is a new experience for our guys. We’ll have to play a good, clean game. But everyone better play well at this point if they want to win.”

Lynnville-Sully is 6-1 since junior quarterback Tyler Van Zante threw for 303 yards in a Week 5 win over Iowa Valley.

The lone loss for the Hawks since the Week 3 loss to Colfax-Mingo was a 44-0 setback against No. 2 BGM. But senior tailback Sage Ehresman did not play in that game due to injury.

Ehresman has rushed for 1,341 yards this year, which ranks 13th in Class A. His 24 rushing touchdowns is tied for the fifth most in the class.

Ehresman has gone beyond 100 rushing yards in five straight games. In the Hawks’ two playoff wins over Pekin and No. 8 Winfield-Mount Union, he has rushed 68 times for 425 yards and seven touchdowns.

The 2015 Swimming & Diving Meet will be streamed live. A link to the streaming site will be posted on the IGHSAU website — ighsau.org.

Hedrick leads the NCMP contingent swimming in four events.

She has the fastest time going into the meet in the 100-yard butterfly, which she finished second in last year at state. Hedrick posted the second-fastest qualifying time in the 200-yard freestyle race.

Hedrick qualified with Jenkins, Rhoads and Stout in the 200 freestyle relay. Joining Hedrick in the 400 freestyle relay race will be Prendergast, Webb and Myers.

“I would love to be the state butterfly champion. I set my goals on being back at state. I really want to do well in that race,” Hedrick said. “The 200 free is a whole different mind set to swim it. I’m ready to swim my race and see how it comes out.”

Hedrick holds six individual — yards and meters — NCMP records and has been on six school-record holding relay teams in her four years. She lowered the 200 freestyle and 100 butterfly marks she already held in last week’s regional meet.

“Sam is such competitor. It has been a journey these four years. I saw her mature as a competitor last year,” Patterson said. “She has taken more responsibility for her training, which is what a coach wants to see.

Sam has embraced the pressure this season and knows what it will take to reach her goals.”

Leading off the 200 freestyle relay at the regional, Hedrick claimed the NCMP 50-yard freestyle record in 24.32 seconds. The former record was 24.36 set by Emily Bensink in 2003.

“Swimming relays is all about team,” Hedrick said. “Yes, I normally anchor the relays this season, but the coaches changed the lineup.

They wanted to have me get us out there early, and we knew the other girls would hold it, and they did.”

Patterson said Hedrick was moved to the leadoff spot in both the 200 and 400 freestyle relays “to get us to open water and get us out there.” She said Hedrick pushed the 200 out front and everybody followed suit.

“Alexis has been one of our top relay swimmers all season long.

experience. At regionals, the girls were determined to battle and drop time to qualify for the state meet.

We’re very proud of both of our relays, because it shows the commitment of each of the girls to pull together to get the a faster time.”

Rhoads said she enjoyed her leg of the 200 relay, which was the anchor. She said the four girls knew this was their last shot to get to state, and went for it.

“When I was in the water, I felt like I was on top of the water. I was tapered and ready to go. Yes, we’ll be ready to go at state. We’re perfecting our strokes this week,” Rhoads said. “It’s definitely an honor and a fun experience with your teammates to go to state. We’ve set our goal high — going after the school record which is a second faster than our regional time.”

Jenkins had been to state as part of the medley and 400 relays the past three years. This season it is the 200 free relay.

“It’s new for me, but I always wanted to swim on it,” Jenkins said.

“Those of us on the medley relay were disappointed to know we would probably not reach state. We were determined to get there in the 200 free relay. At state, I’m reaching for a low 25-second split and just having fun.”

Stout said she’s excited and nervous going to her first state meet.

She is looking to post a split of 25.5 seconds or lower.

“On my turn at regionals, I was a little deep, and it slowed me down.

I’m working to not be too deep or too shallow, you know, find that perfect medium depth on my turn,” Stout said. “This whole week has been so much fun. I’m ready to step up on the block and do my best at state for my teammates.”

There was a different order for the 400 freestyle relay with Hedrick leading off followed by Prendergast, Webb and Stout.

“Sam did what we wanted her to do after a long meet for her. Sarah, Madeline and Elizabeth swam so well. Sarah and Madeline had personal-best times in their 100 splits. I’ve been coaching Elizabeth since she was little. To see her dream come true as a senior is tremendous. Her smile all day Saturday was one of those why-I-coach moments for me,” Patterson said.

Stout said, “I’m really excited and a little nervous. I have been swimming second all season and now I’m anchoring the relay. I knew at regionals I had to go fast. It was exciting. I just want to have fun, enjoy

the experience with my teammates and swim my best.”

Prendergast said she thought regionals went well for the relay team even after it was in the outer lane.

“We huddled up and encouraged each other. We knew we had to swim fast,” Prendergast said. “I’m treating the state like it is any other meet to help curtail my nervousness.”

Webb has experience swimming at big competitions. She said she has been swimming for 11 years and has experience at the club level in big meets.

“This is my first time to high school state, so I’m excited,” Webb said. “This week is about resting your body, enjoying the experience with a select group of girls and getting to know the coaches better. My goal at the beginning of the season was to get in the 55s, which I did at regionals. To go 55.2 again or under it would be great at state.”

It all starts Friday when Eide hits the diving board for the 11-dive event. Eide had the 13th-highest qualifying score coming out of the regionals last week.

“I’m trying to get a higher score overall and work through all the rounds,” Eide said of her goal for the state meet. “I felt comfortable and confident in the dive lineup I had for regionals. I’m hoping to throw in a couple more difficult dives for state to raise my score. It’s about cleaning up and sharpening my dives this week.”

Patterson said Eide has done well all season in diving competitions. Eide is the first NCMP diver to qualify since 2011, but the team just reinstated diving in 2014 when Patterson found Kelly Rose in Grinnell, who is the team’s diving coach. NCMP divers have to practice at Grinnell, because Newton doesn’t have a regulation diving board at the YMCA. “I don’t think Morgann understands what a big deal it is to go to the state diving meet. She has done so well this year, and she’ll realize the honor when she gets there.

Her hard work has paid off and she needs to just do as well as she can and enjoy it,” Patterson said.

“I love where we’re seeded in the swim events. We have good spots — the middle lanes. We’ve been talking about visualizing things in the pool to be ready for everything.

We’re excited.”

Hawks Continued from Page 1B “That’s the key to them. He’s the guy that everything revolves around,” Showalter said in reference to Ehresman. “Their offense all flows through him, that’s for sure. They’ve got athletic kids who do nice things, but it’s a traditional I-formation, and he’s the tailback. As he goes, so goes Lynnville-Sully.

“He’s good at finding a cutback lane or a crease. If our secondary guys have come up too quickly to get in on the tackle, he’s going to be running free. We have to be disciplined and not let ourselves get out of position on him.”

Mount Ayr attacks opEhresman posing defenses in a different way. The Raiders don’t have a 1,000-yard rusher like they did last year, but four guys have run for at least 473 yards.

Kyle Dolecheck leads the rushing attack with 693 yards and nine touchdowns, but the senior also has a team-high 31 catches for 475 yards and seven scores.

Roozeboom Cal Daughton is the primary tailback, and he has gained 685 yards and eight touchdowns, while quarterback Jacob Taylor has thrown for 753 yards and nine scores and rushed for 676 yards and 17 scores.

Dolecheck, Daughton, Taylor and Nick Wurster (473 yards and four scores) are all averaging at least seven yards per carry.

The Raiders have rushed for more than 3,000 yards as a team, including 401 in Monday’s second-round win over Colfax-Mingo.

Lynnville-Sully’s defense is led by Dylan Roozeboom, who has 81.5 tackles, 16 tackles for loss and four sacks.

Ehresman has 57 tackles and three sacks, while Kobe Fisk is tied for second in Class A with six interceptions. Roozeboom’s 16 tackles for loss ranks eighth in Class A. Mount Ayr’s defense has four shutouts this year. The Raiders have 18 sacks and 13 interceptions in 11 games. Logan Stark leads the way with 50.5 tackles, 18 tackles for loss and five sacks.

Kickoff is at 7 p.m. Friday in Mount Ayr. This is the first-ever meeting between the two schools.

A win by the Hawks would push them into the state semifinals for the second time in school history. The first was in 1986 when L-S won the state championship.

This Virgo Moon questions: Should you join the group, or not? These critical skies bring forth many reasons (SET ITAL) not (END ITAL) to become a member. You’ll have to give something up, for starters -- your time and attention at the very least, and possibly something else, too, such as money. If the group unites people in goodness, your sacrifice will be worthwhile.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 5). In the first 10 weeks of your solar return, a windfall will allow you to pay a debt or fulfill an obligation. Opportunity to travel comes your way, too.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Stressful moments go by. You remember the stress more than the moment. Could it be that all the stress is actually optional? Play around with the possibilities of this.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Life gets so much easier once you stop taking things so personally. Very few things are meant as a comment on your actual character or being. Most talk is about the person talking.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Sure, there are a few bitter lessons you learned from the past.

That is not an excuse to believe in a dismal future. Hang around an optimistic Sagittarian for a spiritual boost.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). If you happened to visit yourself, what would you talk about? You’ll find out today

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). If you could sing yourself, what would that song sound like?

Chances are, you’ll hear it on

the radio today. When you celebrate the role of music in your life it will seem to celebrate you right back.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’re thinking about what it would take to make more money. Your mind forbids you to earn more than you think you are worth. Therefore, it’s time to think you are worth more.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A satisfying personal life is no small accomplishment. You’ll reach into that realm today with one particularly easy relationship. It’s nice when you can be around a person without worrying what he or she is thinking about you.

Short on Cash?

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Work brings blips and blunders, all opportunities to get better at this job. Mistakes are your greatest teachers. By the way, your self-image is undergoing some upgrades these days, and soon your income will follow suit.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). With your stellar priorities you are sure to bring health, relaxation and peace into your world. Tonight, soften your demeanor. People are more sensitive than they should be around you.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). The desire to win can reach an obsessive tipping point beyond which it becomes counter-productive and doesn’t

help anyone, not the loser, not the winner. With this in mind, you’ll make reasonable choices.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Most things contain the seeds of their own destruction.

That’s why you’re careful to take everything in moderation today. A light touch will bring you luck.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Are you capable of living in the comfort zone? These days, you don’t want to, and that’s why you’ll push yourself beyond what is normal, average and acceptable. You’re on to something.
