NCSD board to consider signage for admin facility

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News It’s been many years since anyone installed new signage in front of the building located at 1302 First Ave. W. If the Newton Community School District Board of Education decides to purchase a sign for the EJH Beard Administration Center during Monday’s meeting, that will change.

Consideration of purchasing a monument sign is one of the action items on the agenda for Monday’s meeting. The sign would go in front of the building, now occupied by the Beard Administration Center and WEST Academy, which was formerly occupied by a Hy-Vee grocery store.

Also on Monday’s agenda is consideration of using the website www. govdeals.com to liquidate outdated school and office equipment owned

by the district. The board will also consider awarding a bid for the purchase of a district core networking switch.

In the latest procedural step toward funding the voter-approved reconstruction of Berg Middle School, the board is set to consider a resolution for the sale of $10 million in general-obligation bonds.

The board will consider approving a School Budget Review Committee application for increasing

U.S. Sen. Ernst presents medals to Newton veteran Gordon Baker earns Army Commendation Medal

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst shows the Army Commendation Medal she presented to Vietnam veteran and Newton resident Gordon Baker when she stopped in Newton on Thursday morning. Ernst presented Baker all the medals he had earned during his service as part of her tour through central Iowa.

military about the same time. He didn’t receive any medals when he was discharged, as was the case for many servicemen during that era, even though a few honors were bestowed upon him in writing.

Thursday, Baker was accompanied by his wife, Donna, and the couples’ daughter and

son, Lisa and Bob, as he was presented with his long-awaited service medals by Ernst when she stopped in Newton on Thursday morning.

Ernst was scheduled to make similar medal presentations Thursday and more are slated for Friday, which is Veterans Day. The first-term senator’s 23 combined

years between the Army Reserve and the Army National Guard included a 12-month tour in Kuwait.

“I don’t get out to present these kinds of honors as often as I would like,” Ernst said.

“I’m very happy when I get to do this.”

IMPACT to roll out personal hygiene pantry

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When Gordon Baker stepped out into the front lobby of the Jasper County Veterans Affairs office on Thursday morning, he took a deep breath.

Baker seemed excited about a ceremony in which U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst presented Baker, a Vietnam veteran and Newton resident, with his Army service medals. As he looked out into the crowd of media and about 20 people, including family, Veterans Affairs staff and Ernst’s staff members, he experienced an intense and familiar feeling.

“It was kind of like getting off the plane when I came home from Vietnam,” Baker said. “That anticipation. It was really unique to step out and see the senator and all these people.”

Baker, 66, grew up in Albia, and many of his male peers joined the

enrollment, open enrollment out and limited-English proficient student instruction beyond five years.

The board will also receive the latest open-enrollment report.

Newton Community Education Foundation donations $40,000 to a general fund and $12,000 to an after school program fund from the Elizabeth J. Dickinson Estate will be discussed.

IMPACT Community Action Partnership is starting a personal hygiene pantry at its Newton location to help fill an unmet need in the county, according to coordinator Patty Sneddon, who shared the news Thursday with the Jasper County Board of Health.

“Earlier this year we did a community needs assessment for Jasper County and the data came back from the assessment that showed having access to a personal hygiene pantry as one of the highest needs in the county,” Sneddon said.

After receiving that data, Sneddon started work to remedy the need and following a collaboration with and donations from Black Hills Energy, Theisen’s and the Jasper County Health Department formed the idea of a pantry to distribute personal hygiene products.

The pantry, which is set to open on Jan.

2, will be located at IMPACT’s office, 115 N. Second Ave., in the Jasper County Annex Building and will be available to assist families who are struggling to make ends meet.

Items available in the pantry include laundry detergents, soaps, hair care products, oral care products, household cleaners, feminine products among many more.

“When I try to paint a picture for individuals, it is usually imagining that you are at the grocery store and all of the things that you can put in your cart that is a non-food item,” Sneddon said. “Those are all things that cannot be bought with food stamps, with government assistance and are often times the most expensive in the cart.”

Sneddon said while the pantry is located in Newton, there will be opportunities for those who live in communities outside of the county seat and IMPACT | 3A

World War II sailor ‘just a kid having a good time’

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News PRAIRIE CITY — Many veterans who served in World War II did so because they were drafted into the armed forces. John Barry Kane of Prairie City, however, enlisted to be a sailor in the U.S. Navy while he was still attending Prairie City High School.

He opted to enlist specifically to avoid the draft and so he wasn’t forced into another branch of the military that didn’t interest him.

“I enlisted while I was 17 so I wouldn’t be drafted,” he said. “The

idea of being a private in the Army just didn’t appeal to me.”

Kane was a sailor from 1945 to 1946 and served much of his time on the U.S.S. Roi, a carrier that transported planes and equipment to active base camps. The ship was named after the Battle of Roi-Namur, a World War II battle that took place one year before Kane enlisted.

While on the carrier, Kane’s main duty was to look after the pumps in the ship’s engine room with two fellow sailors, switching shifts every four hours.

NHS receives lumber donation for industrial arts More than $4,000 of oak received

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Schools can’t depend on receiving generous donations of supplies all the time.

When it happens, it’s often acknowledged publicly.

That’s what occurred Oct. 24 when Newton High School Principal Bill Peters told the Newton Community School District Board of Education about local resident Lenny Woythaler’s recent donation of 3,036 board feet of wood, valued at about $4,550.

“There used to be more sawmills around, and now there’s not, so this is very welcome,” Peters told the board. “These are solid, rough-cut, out-of-production oak planks to be used for student projects.”

Woythaler, who splits his time now between Iowa and Florida, said the wood is between seven and 15 years old.

He said it was all taken from oak trees cut down on his property and milled locally — sometimes by his neighbor.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Newton High School teacher Derek Bair shows how much lumber was recently donated by Newton resident Lenny Woythaler. The donation is estimated at more than $3,000 in value, and is already being used as part of the school’s industrial arts stockpile.

“I really hope the high school can use it,” Woythaler said. “I know kiln-dried wood is expensive. I tried to keep small blocks in between all the planks so that it would air-dry over time.”

NHS industrial technology teacher Derek Bair said he and his students are very grateful for the donation,

which was housed in an out-building on Woythaler’s property for many years. The lumber is estimated at more than $3,000 in value, and is already being used as part of the school’s industrial arts stockpile for woodworking classes.

“You can see it’s what we call five-quarters thick wood

or at least 1.25 inches thick,” Bair said. “The planks are mostly 18 to 20 inches wide and about eight feet long.”

Bair said he and the students were grateful to retrieve and unload the lumber. It was a large chore to haul that much weight into the school and find places on shelves for all the wood —

Operation Gratitude

Kate Malott/Daily News Berg Middle School eighth grade science students collected candy, toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss to donate to military troops as part of Operation Gratitude. An estimated 200 pounds of donations were collected by teacher Andy Kuker who partnered with The Dental Practice of Newton. Kuker hopes to expand collection efforts to include more district classrooms, VFW and American Legion.

but that’s a good problem to have, he said.

“We were awestruck with this kind of donation,” Bair said. “We’re very thankful to Mr. Woythaler. You can’t simply go to a home improvement store and find this quality on a shelf. You’d have to go to a woodsmith and special-order it, and it would be expensive and could take time to find it.”

NHS students are allowed to pull from the school’s stockpile of materials for assigned projects, but students must purchase their own elements to a project, such as different paint schemes or decorative components, or is working on an unassigned project.

Bair said the best part about the donation is instead of working with smaller planks on items such as baseball bats, students could create cabinets or shelving that requires a larger starting piece.

“In carpentry, using the integrity of the wood, rather than combining smaller pieces, makes all the difference in the world,” he said.

“We try to repurpose as many odd shapes and scraps as we can.”

HEART helps carpentry students succeed DUBUQUE (AP) — The stocky, bearded carpenter casually picked up an oversized block of wood and slowly swung it around toward five high school students.

“If you can’t read a tape measure — I hate to say it — but you’re worthless to me,” said 57-year-old Ron Fritz, pointing at the model of a tape measure.

Dozens of tools were spread out on tables in a small, cramped work shed at the historic Four Mounds property in Dubuque. It was the second week of a nearly yearlong program called Housing, Education and Rehabilitation Training, or HEART. The first week was spent reading about tool safety in the classroom. The weeks to come would be focused on rehabbing a dilapidated apartment house on 22nd Street in Dubuque.

Fritz went through everything from hammers and pliers to utility knives and power tools.

He held up a wood chisel.

“This thing, when it’s sharp, will shave the hairs on your arm,” he said.

His duty to ensure the ship was correctly pumping water and oil during the final year of World War II meant the Prairie City native did not fight on the ground in any battles.

His ship, at times, transported planes to an American base in China and gave Marines a lift back home for discharge, but Kane fortunately never had run-ins with enemies.

In the final days of the war, he did, however, learn the U.S. was going to be sending more troops to Japan. Kane was transported to Tiburon, Calif., to serve on a much larger ship destined for Asia, but the war ended four days later.

“Thank God the war ended,” Kane said. “The idea of running a landing craft up on the shore of Japan did not appeal to me.

But luckily (President Harry) Truman ended that thing before a million Americans got killed and at least twice that many Japanese.”

Other than the final nerve-racking days, Kane said he was just an 18- and 19-year-old kid having a good time as a sailor.

As soon as Kane returned home from service, working on the family farm continued.

“I got home, took off my uniform and put on a pair of dungarees,” he said.

Now in 2016, the 89-year-old still lives in the same Prairie City house that he returned home to 70 years ago.

Kane and his late wife, Rose Ann, raised two boys in that home and now have five grandchildren and two additional great-grandchildren.

The veteran just celebrated the 70th year of his time with the Prairie City American Legion, and he still keeps in touch with fellow veterans in town.

Baker said he was in the midst of reviewing paperwork around the time of a medical procedure a few years ago when he noticed someone in the Army had put in for him to receive several medals. He knew those medals had never been handed to him.

“I started making some phone calls, and, eventually,

“I also do a lot of outreach work and I partner with the libraries throughout the county, so if it is a day that I will be there I can take items with me,” Sneddon said. “We know it is not feasible for everybody to make it to Newton.”

Jasper County Health Department Administrator Becky Pryor said she is excited about the new opportunity for citizens of Jasper County.

Even though this week’s tour is largely devoted to awards ceremonies, Ernst will likely have some conversations about health care reform for veterans.

“We need to focus very

“We’ve made a donation to them for toothbrushes, toothpaste and floss,” Pryor said.

“On behalf of the health department we are making the donation to help get it started.”

Sneddon said she will look for donations to keep the pantry well stocked. She is also open to having drives to fund the pantry if a community organization is interested.

“That is a really great program. It will help people feel better about themselves,” board chair Margot Voshell said.

Shop local this holiday

Write On Kate Malott

Editor’s note: This column was orginally published Nov. 20, 2015.

The snow is coming which means Christmas is right around the corner. If you’re thinking about shopping, some things you can only find online, or in Des Moines, but if you look closely, and open doors, you’ll see some things you can find right here in town. There are not a lot of shopping options in Newton which is why it’s important we support the few we do.

The Saturday after Thanksgiving is Shop Small Saturday, which encourages local residents to shop within their communities.

Here’s a list of seven places to shop small downtown this season: 1. Beckman’s Gallery — If you want to give something memorable, fram-

ing a favorite photo or keepsake is a priceless, customized gift perfect for a spouse, parent or in-law. New or old vacation and family photos look 10 times better with a mat and frame. Beckman’s also has a nice selection of unique small kitchen accessories, quality hand creams and decorative art.

2. Farmers Wife — The selection of gifts is abundant. It’s the perfect place to find a house warming gift, or a thanksfor-hosting-a-holiday-party gift, or you’re-a-great-aunt gift. There are colorful, seasonal and decorative gifts and a supreme kitchen accessory selection as well.

3. Mattingly’s — Ah! The gift of a new book. Mattingly’s is a treasure in Newton, with a pleasant ambiance complete of Christmas lights, wood

floors and classical music. While shopping, you’ll find new best sellers like “The Crossing” or “Rogue Lawyer.” You might event purchase something for yourself.

4. Mojo Cycling — Well, it’s winter, no doubt about that — so why not “gear” up for spring by stopping in our local bike shop? They’ve got a number of bikes for the most memorable Christmas gift on the list, or even just a new helmet or bike bottle. It also has a nice stash of Frisbee golf discs which will put a smile on the face or your nephew, son or maybe even your husband.

5. Choices Christian Book Store — Tis the season! The store has a wonderful selection of books, frames, art, journals and other gifts that will warm the heart of any Christian loved one within your family, church or friend group.

I recently purchased “O Holy Night” Christmas cards.

6. Silverado Jewelry — I think its a blessing we have a jewelry store still open in Newton. The customer service

is wonderful each time I visit and the personalization is done always how I would wish. From necklaces to guitar picks, the selection offers a nice affordable and stylish gift for anyone dear to your heart.

7. Capitol II — Newton doesn’t have a great deal of entertainment options, but we do have a movie theater, or two, we can support. Movie tickets are a great gift for families or couples to encourage a night out. The theater allows us the convenience of seeing latest box office hits without having to travel 30 miles.

While you’re out and about, grab a coffee at Uncle Nancy’s or lunch at PJ’s Deli.

As you prepare for the holidays, don’t forget to look close to home when shopping. It’s important to the economy, and the uniqueness of the gifts is something appreciated.

Give back to the community this season — shop small.

So Anyway Dana King

Just out for a ride When I was a kid, we’d go for rides.

My parents would load my brother, sister and me in the car and off we’d go... with no particular destination in mind. Sometimes on Sunday afternoons.

Sometimes on Saturday evenings. To be honest, it didn’t seem an uncommon activity, no matter when we went.

Does anyone even do this anymore?

At times we’d end up in the county, looking at acres and acres of nothing — well, that’s what us kids thought. But mom and dad would be in the front seat conversing about people from their past having lived where only the skeletal remains of a home now stood.

It was even better if we’d take the truck though, with the kids riding in the back. Remember doing that? Deciding which “seat” over the wheel well would be yours and leaning over the side. I think my brother generally was on one side and my sister and I shared the other. (I can’t imagine my son ever allowing his son to ride in the back of a truck!)

Occasionally we’d find ourselves driving through a cemetery, pausing to look at the graves of longgone relatives. As strange as it seems, I always kind of enjoyed that ... listening to the stories of people I can’t put a face to, but had often heard the tales of fragments of their lives.

Best of all, however, were the evening rides.

Those same houses we’d see day in and day out as we’d pass by on the way to school or while riding our bicycles, had a different aura once the street lights came on. On nice evenings we’d meander through neighborhoods with the windows down on the car and hear they cicadas buzzing, and wave at people we knew as they sat on their front porches, relaxing at the day’s conclusion.

But truth be known, I always enjoyed the brief glimpses into people’s homes when their lights would be on inside yet they hadn’t closed their curtains. Oh yeah, I’m one of those. It actually sounds a bit creepy as I write it! But seriously, haven’t you done the same thing?

In fact, to this day, when I rearrange my furniture or purchase a new lamp, I always walk to the road in front of my house when the sun sets, just to see how it looks to passersby.

After all, you know what they say — all’s fair in love, war and an evening drive.

When did Veterans Day replace Armistice Day? When I was in high school in the late 1940s, Nov. 11 was Armistice Day. After morning classes, there was an all-school Patriotic Assembly, complete with appropriate music and a short prayer and a moment of silence in honor of the end of World War I. Then

we were dismissed for the day.

Yeah!

More recently I became the owner of some family correspondence from a great-uncle, dated in 1918. He had worked in a pharmacy in Hedrick, Iowa, and enlisted or was drafted into the U.S. Army at age 24. After a short indoctrination at Fort Des Moines, he was shipped to France. The day the ship docked there was Nov. 11, 1918.

Most people today do not know the significance of that date.

But I do — it was the day The Armistice was singed, or in effect the war — to end all wars — was over.

No, the ship did not turn around and bring him back to the states; there was work there to do.

Clean-up, after a brutal war. He spent two or three years in the Army in France doing that before his trip home and discharge. I’m sad to report, he had a hard time readjusting to civilian life.

seven employees, so it is vital that we get paid to allow us to continue to provide the quality services for our client base. One of the MCOs has consistently obstructed and complicated our reimbursement process by denying our claims and attempting to pay a lesser rate claiming out-of-network status for ITS. I have contacted Greg Heartsill on numerous occasions and I want to again take this time to thank him for his timely interventions on our behalf. I talked to him recently due to our claims once again being denied and he immediately contacted

the governor seeking a resolution to this ongoing problem.

Greg is not my representative, but I feel if he can go out of his way for a non-constituent, his constituents will have someone that they can count on in a pinch.

Thank you again Mr. Heartsill. I am not a Republican, just simply a hard working Iowan that wants to be treated fairly by the system, and Greg has conducted himself in way that I feel all of our representatives can learn from.

Longtime addict seeks to end downward spiral of his life DEAR ABBY: I am a 46-year-old drug user. I have been addicted for more than 20 years. I know it’s wrong.

I know I can be a better person. I got hooked when a supposed friend introduced me to crack in 1992. If I could only go back to that day, I’d kick the you-know-what out of him. I was all set to make something of my life.

In 2010, my dad was diagnosed with lung cancer. It only got worse. I have hurt the people I care about the most. I have stolen from my mom. I have written checks on her bank account and pawned her jewelry. I don’t know what to do.

I know I’m depressed since Dad died. I’m also disabled and on disability. I pretty much kept everything in check until 2001 when I lost the job I’d held for 17 years. I have drifted from job to job ever since.

So there it is. I have developed COPD. I’m on oxygen full time and can’t work. I ask myself why I’m suddenly doing three and four times more than I’ve ever done. Do you think I’m that depressed? That I’m trying to speed my own death? I’m at a loss and need some guidance. I contemplate suicide daily, but I guess I’m too much of a coward. Can you help me?

— END OF MY ROPE IN FLORIDA DEAR END OF YOUR ROPE: At this point, the only person who can help you is yourself. The problem with using drugs is that after a period of time, the body builds up a tolerance, and it takes more and more of them to achieve a high. This may be why your use has increased the way it has.

Because programs to help people break their drug habit usually cost money — which you don’t have — go to www.na.org to find the location of the nearest Narcotics Anonymous meeting. As you may already know, NA is a fellowship in which addicts

help each other to get off and stay off drugs. Please give it a try because it could save your life.

DEAR ABBY: My friend Bryan and I were at a sports bar watching a football game. We had ordered a large pizza, but had time for only one slice before we had to leave. I wanted to offer the remaining pizza to a group of college-age students sitting at a nearby table. Bryan was horrified and insisted we just leave. He said to offer the pizza would be insulting.

When I pointed out that another couple had once given us a half-filled bottle of champagne (they were heading to the theater), we accepted and appreciated it. He said that was different. What do you think? — TRYING TO BE NICE IN L.A. DEAR TRYING TO BE NICE: I think you’re a nicer person than your friend Bryan. If the crowd at the next table was insulted, they could have refused your generous offer. Bryan may have nixed the idea because he didn’t think of it first.

DEAR VETERANS: I salute you for your service to this country. My thanks to each of you, as well as to the brave men and women who are still on active duty. You are the personification of patriotism and self-sacrifice for your dedication to our country. — ABBY

Dangerous chemicals released at Pella plant PELLA — A federally mandated study has concluded that Pella Corp. inadvertently released two dangerous chemicals into the ground at its plant in Pella.

The study says pentachlorophenol and dioxin have reached the groundwater.

Only those two chemicals were found at higher than acceptable levels.

Pella officials say the contaminants do not threaten the city’s drinking water, which comes from the Des Moines River and the Jordan aquifer.

Plea hearing set for Newton stalking, burglary case

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News A Newton man accused of stalking a woman and breaking into her home in September is set to appear at a plea hearing next month.

Thomas A. Fitzgerald, 53, is charged with violating a protective order after officials say he contacted a woman more than 1,000 times, tried to pry open her locked doors and broke a window of her Newton rural home.

Fitzgerald demanded a speedy trial after originally pleading not guilty.

The trial date of Nov. 15 is canceled.

During the September incident, the victim told police she received a combined total of more than 1,000 text messages or phone calls from Fitz-

gerald, despite a no-contact order being in place.

A c c ord i ng to police, in Fitzgerald the texts and voice messages, Fitzgerald demands access to her home and threatens to kill the victim, her attorney and law enforcement.

Fitzgerald had previously been arrested and charged for violating the no-contact order with the victim in the past.

Fitzgerald’s plea hearing is set for Dec. 12 at the Jasper County Courthouse.

Court upholds Branstad’s closure of state mental health institutes DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad acted within his constitutional authority when he vetoed funding for two state-run mental health care facilities last year and closed them, the state Supreme Court ruled Thursday.

Twenty legislators and Danny Homan, the president of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, the largest state employee union, had sued Branstad. They claimed a section of state law requires Iowa to have four mental health care institutes — one each in Mount Pleasant, Clarinda, Cherokee and Independence.

Branstad closed the Mount Pleasant and Clarinda institutes in June 2015 when he vetoed the Legislature’s funding for them. The

AP Photo This file photo shows the Mental Health Institute in Mount Pleasant. The Iowa Supreme Court on Thursday said Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad acted within his constitutional authority when he vetoed funding for two state-run mental health care facilities last year and closed them.

lawsuit also claims the law creating the state facilities limits Branstad’s ability to close the facilities by vetoing their funding.

The court concluded Thursday that the law

doesn’t require the continued existence of state mental health institutes.

The unanimous decision, written by Justice David Wiggins, delves deeply into the history of the Legislature’s

creation of the mental health institutes and concludes that lawmakers changed the language of the laws over the years and eliminated permanently established facilities.

Police: Mother who vanished in 2000 was homicide victim TAMA (AP) — A 23-yearold central Iowa mother who vanished without a trace in 2000 is believed to be a homicide victim, law enforcement officials said Thursday.

A review by a multi-agency task force has concluded that Cora Okonski’s “disappearance was not voluntary,” the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation said in a statement.

The agency said it has reclassified Okonski’s disappearance as a homicide rather than a missing persons case

and it was under investigation by state and local police and prosecutors. Okonski was the mother to a toddler son and had worked as a waitress in Tama, a town of about 2,800 residents that’s 60 miles northeast of Des Moines.

Police have never identified a suspect in her disappearance.

But Okonski’s ex-boyfriend, Tait Purk, has long faced scrutiny from police and the public since he was with her the night she disappeared.

The two were scheduled to

be married one month after she vanished, and they had a volatile relationship that was marked by drug use and Okonski fighting. Purk is set to be released from a federal prison in Kansas on unrelated drug and gun charges in April, after roughly 14 years behind bars.

Purk has denied involvement in Okonski’s disappear-

ance, telling police that she left their home to walk to the store to buy cigarettes and never returned.

Purk has said he told Okonski he wanted to put off their wedding date earlier that day and that she became upset. He reported her missing to police two days after she was last seen.

Her relatives have long presumed Okonski was dead, because she stopped collecting her Social Security disability payments and cut off contact

with them. But her body has never been found.

Investigators have made recent trips to the location where Okonski was last seen, have identified new witnesses and reinterviewed old ones.

“It was put on the shelf and collected dust and then it was opened back up by the DCI’s interest in it,” said Tama County Sheriff Dennis Kucera, who has assigned a detective to the case. “It’s a case of interest and there’s been new information that’s been discovered.”

Tim Buss living the dream with the Cubs

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Dreams can come true. If you don’t believe, just ask 1990 Newton High School graduate Tim Buss, who is celebrating as a member of the 2016 World Champion Chicago Cubs’ organization.

land. They brought it back to me and said, ‘ride with this thing for a little while,” Buss said. “I show up every day for my job and I pinch myself. I love the game and I love the players.”

Buss, 44, has been the strength and conditioning coordinator for the Chicago Cubs since 2001. He knew the Cubs long before then.

“I’m a lifelong baseball fan and a die-hard Cubbies fan,”

Buss said. “Growing up right

by Woodrow Wilson Elementary in Newton, I’d go out to play ball, come in turn on WGN and watch the Cubbies then go back out to finish playing ball.”

It has been a whirlwind for Buss and the Cubs. He said the parade and rally a week ago were amazing.

Mustangs load up on all-district football honors

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News The Prairie City-Monroe football team won its first district championship and won a playoff game for the first time in five seasons.

The reward after a second-round postseason loss to No. 8 Dike-New Hartford was a plethora of all-district honors.

The Mustangs swept the top awards as Greg Bonnett was named Class 2A District 6 Coach of the Year, senior Luke Greiner was the district’s Offensive Player of the Year and senior Clayton Welch earned top honors on the defensive side of the ball.

In all, PCM had 11 firstteam selections, six second-team selections and two honorable mention picks. Of the 11 first-team picks, eight of them were by a unanimous vote.

Hats off to Apples, basketball and life A

pples Waddell or Apples Waddell Jones. Do you recognize those names? Probably not, and I wouldn’t expect you to here in Iowa.

For more than 28 years I was sports editor of a small six-day daily newspaper in Iola, Kan. We covered youth sports, middle school sports, seven high schools in sports and a two-year community college. On occasion, I was able to cover some of the four-year university sports in Kansas along with the Kansas City Royals and Chiefs.

Apples is a blast from the past for me.

A little over a month ago, I received a private message on Facebook from another former athlete and friend I covered during those days. She and Apples played for Allen Community College’s basketball team in 1990 and 1991. The two women, who are married and have children, were sharing the excitement of the University of Kansas’ annual Late Night at the Phog.

You see, you might not know Apples, but if you are a NCAA men’s basketball fan, you know her son’s name.

KU freshman Josh Jackson was the nation’s top overall recruit when he

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets decided to become a Jayhawk.

As soon as Mona Scantlin Hull, mentioned Apples’ name, a flood of images washed through my mind. The most prominent image was of Apples’ smile. Apples was from Detroit, Mich., and her given name was Shenita Waddell, but we all knew her as Apples.

Apples was quick on the basketball court. She handled the ball well and could shoot it. Most of all, Apples was a tough competitor on offense and defense. She took the challenge of guarding players at the point guard spot or even inside against a post player. Apples did not back down from anyone on the basketball team.

She had a great smile and laugh.

She and my friend Mona, who is married and living in her hometown of Humboldt, Kan., in Allen County, became lifetime friends. Mona has a son named Josh and Josh Jackson and Mona’s son Sam share a birthday.

Mona sent me photos of Apples and herself with several other former ACCC players and their coach, Ken Darting, who got together in October.

What fun for me to see all of them in the photos.

Following two years playing for the ACCC Red Devils, Apples moved on to the University of Texas-El Paso. She led UTEP in scoring at 15.1 points per

Ethan Thomas, Sr., First Team, unanimous OL

Sheldon Speers, Sr., First Team, unanimous QB

game and blocked shots and ranked second in assists and steals. Unfortunately, Apples did not stay at UTEP as she allowed things to distract her from the academic side of college.

Since learning about Apples and her son, I did a little research. Apples told Rivals.com she felt Kansas “cared about him more as a person than as a basketball player.”

“For myself my goal was to find out which schools had his best interest and all I wanted to do was report back to Josh on what I found,” Jones said.

“When I say best interest I’m talking for the long haul and as a person and not just a basketball player. He’s invested a lot in his future success and I’ve invested a lot in his future and we wanted him to go somewhere that he felt he could continue on that road. “(Kansas) had the plan and roadmap and they laid it out for me. I could see the future they had planned for Josh from his freshman year to his senior year.”

Jackson has talked of his mother in interviews. Apples did not finish her college education at UTEP. He said she learned from mistakes and would not let him make the same ones.

“When I was a kid, I didn’t really like school,” Jackson said. “But my mom was tough on me and made me realize grades were important—I mean important to myself as well.”

Tough on him off the court, and tough on him on it.

“Sometimes my mom would come around, joke around with me, play me one-on-one. She’d play me seriously.

Wes Cummings, So., First Team, unanimous RB

Luke Greiner, Sr., First Team, unanimous WR

She wouldn’t let me win. She wouldn’t let me score. I was maybe eight or nine years old, and she would foul me pretty hard sometimes, trying to make me tougher a little bit,” Jackson said.

“I think it worked. I finally ended up beating her when I was 14 or 15 years old. And since then, I’ve never played her again.”

It was his dad, though, who taught him how to play chess. Clarence Jones was Jackson’s stepfather but was Dad to Jackson. Jones died in 2014.

According to several accounts, when Jackson asks if you want to play a pickup game, you better ask if it is basketball or chess. He enjoys the game his dad taught him as much as he enjoys being on the basketball court.

Apples served in the U.S. Navy. She went back and earned a college degree after the birth of her son.

The world is small, my friends.

Even though KU is the arch-rival of my K-State Wildcats, I will watch Jackson’s progression this season.

The projections are Jackson, who is a 6-foot-8-inch, 207-pound guard, will be a one-and-done player for the Jayhawks.

I’ve seen several photos of Jackson.

He flashes that same smile his mother Apples has. And it made this old sportswriter feel good to find out from Mona, Apples asked about me and where I was these days. These are the moments I love about my job — finding out the great young people I cover have developed into tremendous people.

Buss Continued from Page 1B “What an unbelievable experience this has been,” Buss said. “The parade and rally were controlled, happy mayhem. The streets around Wrigley Field are still busy and crazy, but a good crazy.

The fans are writing on the wall. It’s amazing.”

For Buss, it started with a couple of contacts in the late 1990s and in 2000.

Buss was a standout player for Newton as a shortstop and is in the NHS Baseball Hall of Fame. He went to Ellsworth Community College in Iowa Falls playing shortstop there then played shortstop for Iowa Wesleyan University at Mount Pleasant.

“When you’re a young ball player the dream is always to play in the big leagues. I was one of those men, who when I became a senior in college knew it wasn’t going to happen,” Buss said. “So, I changed gears toward a physical education degree. I was going to be a P.E. teacher.”

Buss said he had another slight change in course toward the health and wellness aspect of physical education. After graduating from Iowa Wesleyan, he began working as a personal trainer for Perfect Game, Inc. “Perfect Game is a wooden bat league and baseball school in Cedar Rapids and Des Moines. I met the longtime Iowa Cubs athletic trainer Bob Grimes and he had heard of what I was doing with programs for high school and college players,” Buss said.

“He told me I should apply for an internship with the Cubs.”

Buss applied and was hired as an intern strength and conditioning coach for the Iowa Cubs, Chicago’s Triple-A affiliate in Des Moines. He said he served as an intern in 1998 and 1999.

“It was tough just to go through the interview process then. I worked spring training and the instructional league for the Cubs in Mesa, Ariz.

It was just the minor league players,” Buss said. “In 2000, my boss said he could get me an interview with the Los Angles Dodgers. They could pay more than the Cubs could as a minor league strength and conditioning coach.”

Buss went to work for the Dodgers’ Single-A affiliate the San Bernardino Stampede for

Mustangs

Continued from Page 1B Bonnett’s Mustangs finished 11-1 in his first season as head coach. This year’s team was 9-2 overall but finished 7-0 in district play.

Greiner was unanimously voted as the offensive player of the year in the district after leading all receivers with 51 catches, 1,064 yards and 18 receiving touchdowns. Greiner averaged 20.2 yards per catch this season, returned a punt for a TD and averaged 45.7 yards per kickoff return.

He was one of the eight unanimous selections as a wide receiver.

Welch was a unanimous pick as a defensive linemen.

He earned defensive player of the year honors after collecting 31 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, five sacks and two fumble recoveries.

The other unanimous picks for the District 6 first team were quarterback Sheldon Speers, running back Wes Cummings, offensive linemen Ethan Thomas and Leevi Telfer, defensive linemen James Snodgrass and Brycen Rogers. The other three firstteam selections were receiver Noah Clark, linebacker Jarron Trausch and defensive back Noah Anderson.

The second-team selections included Preston Van Wyk, Brayton Van Dyke,

Rizzo is a rising star while Ross is retiring, and both have been under the strength and conditioning direction of Newton High graduate Tim Buss. Buss has been the Chicago Cubs’ strength and conditioning coordinator since 2001.

the 2000 season. He said he was a coach as well for the Stampede throwing batting practice, working with several of the position players and leading the stretching and conditioning programs.

“Our catcher that season was David Ross,” Buss said.

Ross is a member of the 2016 World Champion Chicago Cubs.

The Cubs’ catcher announced he was retiring following this season.

“David was starting his playing career and I was starting my coaching career at the same time and same place,” Buss said. “David probably had one of his top three greatest seasons of the career this year. He hit a home run to help the Cubs win it all.

“What a final game he had — to go out as world champions. He is not just a great player, leader and role model.

I consider him a great friend.”

When the Cubs were down 3-1 to the Cleveland Indians in the World Series, Buss said he was leading a group of players in stretches and Ross shared with the group.

“Hey, we got this. Bussy and I were down a couple of games at San Bernardino in the playoffs and we came back and won the California League title. We can do this,” Ross said, according to Buss.

After working stints as strength and conditioning Colten Warrick, Caden Lewis, Isaac Telfer and Nick Dredge. Chase Kuecker and Ivan Young were both honorable mention picks.

Speers was the best quarterback in the district and one of the best in 2A as he finished with 2,392 passing yards, 31 TDs and only eight picks this season. He rushed for four scores, too.

Cummings had the second-most rushing yards in the district during the regular season. He finished with 1,241 yards on the season with 16 TDs. As a receiver, he caught 22 passes for 420 yards.

Thomas and Telfer helped pave the way for the Mustangs’ prolific offense. The two-way players have started on the offensive line for the past three seasons.

Snodgrass is another twoway starter for PCM. He made the first team as a defensive lineman after collecting 28.5 tackles and 11 tackles for loss.

Rogers had a breakout season for the Mustang defense.

He finished with 36 tackles

coaches in the baseball minor leagues with the Cubs and Dodgers organizations, Buss received a telephone call on Christmas day 2000 and he had his dream job.

“While I was working the instructional league in the fall of 2000 with the Dodgers organization, I was called and told the Cubs’ major league strength and conditioning job was open. I knew I didn’t have a chance to get it, but they wanted me to go through the interview process and learn from it,” Buss said. “Then I get the phone call on Christmas day — ‘Welcome to the Chicago Cubs.’”

Since 2001, Buss has been responsible for making sure players on the Chicago ballclub are as healthy as possible to play up to their potential throughout the season.

It starts with offseason individualized strength and conditioning programs developed by Buss.

He said he creates and develops the offseason programs for each individual player then visits as many of the players as he can during the offseason.

Spring training brings Buss to setting up workout regiments and running the stretching program for the team.

“In the regular season, my duties change from when we’re at home and when we’re on the road. On the road, I’ll take a group of players to

and four tackles for loss.

Clark, who missed a few games in the middle of the season, finished with 22 catches, 413 receiving yards and five scores.

Trausch made the first team as a linebacker after recording 37 tackles, one sack and one fumble recovery.

Anderson made the all-district team as a defensive back, but he made more of an impact as a tailback. Anderson had 8.5 tackles and two fumble recoveries on defense,

workout and stretch,” Buss said. “My job comes down to making sure the team is as healthy as possible and we get the most out of our investments with the players.”

Buss said he works with the major league players. He has a minor-league strength and conditioning coordinator and coaches he works with to have the program throughout the Cubs organization.

Buss has worked with nine mangers over his 16-year career with the Chicago Cubs.

His first manager was Don Baylor. The Cubs have been managed by Joe Maddon the past two seasons.

“Last season was one we struggled around the All-Star break then began winning games. We’re in the playoff hunt and make it to the NLCS against the Mets, and lose,” Buss said. “This season was one of we’re going to do it. This was a great group of players. I’m a firm believer players play better when they are loose, relaxed and having fun.”

Buss said the Cub players fed off the energy Maddon brought to the team every day.

It was a great ride.

“When we were down 2-1 to the Dodgers in the NLCS, Joe had me take the lineup card out before Game 4. We won the series,” Buss said.

“When we were down 3-1 to Cleveland, Joe came to me

and said ‘here it’s yours’ sending me out with the lineup card again. But I also took the lineup card out for Game 1 of the World Series, and we lost.”

Buss said there was never a hang-our-heads and let’s go home moment for the Cubs.

They stayed positive, he said.

“I realized when it was all over and we had come back to win Game 7, you can forget about what it all means to the outside world. We’re worried about the dugout, and what is happening on the field and after the games,” Buss said.

“I was in the weight room most of Game 7, which is right behind the dugout. There’s just so much bench space in the dugout. I’d tell every player who came into the weight room to stay positive.”

Buss said it was a roller coaster of emotion — the Cubs go ahead then the Indians tie it up and it rains. He said Ben Zobrist and Jason Heyward spoke to the team in the weight room during the rain delay.

The Cubs came out and broke the 108-year drought.

The Chicago Cubs were World Champions.

“As a boy, I would write out a box score for each Cub game, and I’d cry if certain players were traded,” Buss said.

“You forget what it means to fans. I had more than 150 text messages from friends telling me thank you and we’re proud of you and the Cubs.”

Buss said they were all enjoying the ride. He said he kept asking himself — did we just do that?

“I don’t know what I did in my life to deserve being a part of this, but I’m glad it has happened,” Buss said.

During the Cubs’ World Championship Rally in Chicago, Cubs’ first baseman Anthony Rizzo gave Buss a shout-out.

Buss said to have Rizzo do that in front of more than 5 million people was special.

He said he was looking forward to the Cubs’ visit to the White House and receiving his World Championship ring.

“In a couple of weeks, we’ll be back to work on the offseason routines and getting ready for 2017. What a dream come true for me, this team and all of the Cub fans,” Buss said.

Some believe the mind exists in the body, while others say it’s animating the body from somewhere up in the cloud.

Either way, as a being with mental capacities, the way you take care of your body changes your mind and vice versa.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’ll be asked about your work. To the wise and perceptive ear, your answers will be very telling. You might just surprise yourself with your own answers and learn something you didn’t know before.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

A clearing process will begin as you try to make room for a newly kindling passion. The elements of your life that do not serve an obvious function will be up for scrutiny.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). To be impressive, all you have to do is relax and act on your natural impulses. In other words, be you. When you’re doing what’s genuinely fun for you, you’ll bring energy and excitement to others.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). To truly understand the range of your ability, sometimes it takes

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The more time you spend doing the thing you really love,

the less appealing your former routine becomes. Something about this has got to give in the near future. Are you planning for that now?

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). When you take your business to the next level, your personal life improves, and when you take your personal life to the next level, your business improves. As long as you’re aiming upward with something, you’re golden.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Over time, people will establish a pattern of behavior with you. Once you lock into that pattern, blame and credit are kind of a moot point. If they disappoint, that’s on you.

If they excel, you expect that, too.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your intuition might defy logic, but it will be right. That said, it’s important to differentiate between intuition, which is proactive, mostly calm and generally peaceful, and paranoia, which is fearful, jittery and sickening.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You don’t need expensive tools to be creative, but the right tool certainly has the power to inspire you. Consider borrowing, renting or trading in order to try things out before making a big investment.
