For as long as he could read, Mark Lambert has been reading the “Alley Oop” comic strip in the Newton Daily News.

The 52-year-old Newton native, who also delivered the Daily News in his youth, said “Alley Oop” was a passion he picked up from his father. Olen Lambert, who still resides in Newton, began reading the strip in his youth, as well.

“I have many fond memories of reading ‘Alley Oop’ and talking with Dad about it,” Mark said. “We would discuss what had happened in the strip and what we thought was going to happen next.”

So, imagine Mark’s surprise when he received an email from Jack and Carole Bender, the creative minds behind “Alley Oop” today, informing him he would soon be a character in the comic serial. “Dr. Mark Lambert” first appeared in Thursday’s strip.

“Being a character in an Alley Oop strip is a dream come true for this kid who rushed to open the Newton Daily News to the comics page every night of my childhood to read his favorite comic strip,” he said.

The “Alley Oop” syndicated comic strip was created in 1932 by V.T. Hamlin, a native of Perry, who wrote and drew the popular serial through four decades for Newspaper Enterprise Association. The strip is

“Being a character in an Alley Oop strip is a dream come true for this kid who rushed to open the Newton Daily News to the comics page every night of my childhood to read his favorite comic strip.”

— Mark Lambert

today syndicated through Universal Uclick.

Hamlin created an engaging cast of characters, led by the title character, who was a sturdy citizen of the Stone Age kingdom of Moo. Alley Oop rode his pet dinosaur, Dinny, and carried a stone war hammer.

Since its inception, “Alley Oop” was a satire on American suburban life, and often dealt with the important topics of the day.

In April of 1939, Hamlin introduced a new character, Dr. Elbert Wonmug, and a new plot device, a time machine, that allowed the Stone Age characters to travel through space and time, making the strip an ageless classic.

Newton Police Department • Pennie J. Church, 40, of Newton was cited with leaving the scene of an accident after authorities responded to a two-vehicle accident at 3 p.m. Nov. 12. Authorities determined Church backed out of a parking spot in the Our Savior Lutheran Church parking lot, struck a parked vehicle owned by Terry J. Seitz of Newton, then left the scene after observing no damage to either vehicle. Seitz contacted authorities and reported a grill ornament was knocked off the front of his car and that there were two long scratches on the hood.

Damage was estimated at $200. No injuries were reported.

A criminal charge is merely an accusation, and the defendant is presumed innocent until and unless proven guilty.

OPEN to hold annual meeting Sunday at UCC

Housing Initiative is big step in right direction

To the editor: The Annual Meeting of Newton’s sister city group, Organization Promoting Neighbors, will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 17, at the Congregational United Church of Christ located at 308 E. 2nd St. N. As required by our by-laws, this is an official invitation to the meeting. OPEN has sister cities in Smila, Ukraine and WuChi area, Taiwan.

A short business meeting will be held and a short report on my recent visit to Taiwan will be shared. As stated, Newton has an official sister city

Economic development is no longer a chicken-or-egg proposition for growth-minded communities.

To bring high-paying jobs, new retail opportunities, and new families to a community, there must be new rooftops. Developers in Central Iowa have proven they’re more than ready to build those rooftops, but only in communities that have made the necessary investments that show they want to grow.

In other words, “if you build it, they will come.”

The Newton Housing Initiative isn’t a “do it all on the backs of the taxpayers” program.

Rather, it is a kickstart program for future economic development and community improvement.

Much like the starter on your car’s engine. Once the engine fires, it will keep itself running for as long as it has the fuel to do so.

The Housing Initiative’s first goal — to protect existing neighborhood values and improve Newton’s curb appeal — is a no-brainer. The second — to create momentum for housing development — is aimed to bring those future rooftops Newton needs so desperately.

The $3.65 million of proposed bonding for the program does sound like a lot. But as long as Newton sends the message it’s ready to do business, it will be money well-invested.

The City Council should be encouraged to further develop the plan. It’s well thought-out by a brain trust of community leaders who understand what it will take to succeed.

••• The preceding constitutes the opinion of the Daily News Editorial Board. Readers may respond with letters to the editor sent to P.O. Box 967, Newton, IA 50208, or at newsroom@newtondailynews.com via email.

Iowa Renewable Fuels Association responds to Associated Press story Editor’s Note: The Iowa Renewable Fuels Association wrote the following letter in response to an Associated Press investigative report that many newspapers published earlier this week. The Daily News did not publish any portion of the report.

To the editor: The Associated Press recently threw journalistic principles to the wind with its factually-starved attack piece claiming that renewable, homegrown ethanol is bad for the environment.

What was lost in the AP’s predetermined, desperate quest to find the “bad side of ethanol” was the simple, yet important truth about corn planting, conservation practices, and farming in general.

A basic review of the facts shows the AP went out of its way to sidestep reality in order to cook-up its anti-ethanol article.

The AP claims increased ethanol production has caused 5 million acres of land to be removed from the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) since President Obama took office.

Yet, USDA data shows there were

Letters to the Editor agreement with the WuChi area of Taiwan and I was privileged to visit the area the week of Nov. 11.

OPEN is currently hosting student Jason Wu from Taiwan and he is enrolled at Newton Senior High School for the entire school year. In 2010-11 we also had a student from that area, Min-Hua Song. I met with the families of both of the students last week and visited their Taiwan high school as well.

As a first time visitor to Taiwan, I was impressed by the warmth and sincerity of the people I met. I also met with the former mayor of WuChi, currently an elected representative to the greater Taichung City area gov-

ernment.

OPEN is grateful for the ongoing support of the Newton and Jasper County area and couldn’t function without the contributions of sincere supporters. As a member of Sister Cities International, we agree with their stated purpose: “To promote peace through mutual respect, understanding and cooperation — one individual, one community at a time.”

more acres in CRP in Iowa in 2012 than before the first dry-mill ethanol plant began operation.

Not to mention, the 2008 Farm Bill removed funding for roughly 7 million acres of CRP land, so it is legally impossible to get back to pre-2008 levels of CRP enrollment.

The AP also conveniently “forgot” to mention that enrollment in other conservation programs like the Wetlands Reserve Program (WRP) are at an all time high.

The AP also attempted to claim that high corn prices due to ethanol production are driving Wayne County farmers to plant more corn than ever before. Meanwhile, the facts show that the night before the AP story was officially published, corn prices closed at $4.34 per bushel, and on December 19, 2007, when then-president George W. Bush signed the RFS2 into law, corn was priced at $4.34 — the exact same price.

Moreover, Wayne County farmers planted 30,000 less acres of corn in 2013 than they did in 1985, years before the ethanol boom. In addition, statewide USDA data shows Iowans have consistently planted fewer acres to all crops during the ethanol boom than before the first dry mill ethanol plant began operations in 2001.

I could go on, as it is quite evi-

dent that the AP ignored these very elementary facts in an effort to smear ethanol.

Nevertheless, one of the most egregious offenses in this story is that the AP misled the residents of Wayne County on the intent of their article in order to cherry-pick half sentence quotes to meet their hidden anti-ethanol agenda.

Bill Alley, the Wayne County Supervisor quoted in the story told the IRFA, “They went a different direction than we [were] led to believe they were going in…To me as I read through this, it was a personal attack on ethanol…Some oil company got a hold of these people and said, you know, let’s hammer ethanol.”

The Wayne County farmer and retired Methodist pastor quoted in the story, Leroy Perkins, told the IRFA, “My understanding was they were going to touch on the water issues with our Rathbun Lake watershed, but they were leaning more in Wayne County to the absentee landlords that are out of state…Not once was I led to believe they were going to do a wham-bang on ethanol…And so as I read this, I’m wondering, I’m looking at it saying, where are the oil companies in this?”

The Reading Link

Literacy encourages flexibility and productivity

By Christine Pauley Reading Specialist S. E. Hinton wrote “The Outsiders” at age 15, which proves that good writing doesn’t demand years of living. “The Outsiders” is a “Have versus Have-nots” story with which most of us can identify.

Most teens feel left out or ignored at one point or another so they identify with Johnny as he struggles to reconcile what he’s done and Pony Boy as he tries to determine what the right thing to do is and how to save himself and his friend. True to real life, it’s not a happy ending but sometimes we learn life’s lessons the hard way.

We need to investigate things that are not comfortable. We’ve discussed aspects of physical abuse and abuse by neglect. What about emotional abuse?

Just as your child can’t learn well, read well, do well if he doesn’t feel safe and cared for physically and mentally, he can’t do well if he doubts that he is capable of achieving. The whole issue of bullying combines so many kinds of abuse, but one long-term one is emotional damage.

Sometimes we see all the things our children don’t do well — either by society’s definition of “doing well,” or by an inner definition. Enough factors in the world encourage us to feel bad about ourselves, so drilling a person with their faults or lack of abilities doesn’t raise the standard.

Emotional abuse is many sided. Sometimes it comes even from well-intentioned parents. Some abuse

Dan Goetz Publisher Mandi Lamb Associate Editor

that I’ve experienced are comments like: “You only got an A-minus, why not an A?”; “You’ll never make the Olympics. You can’t even run gracefully”; and “You aren’t pretty, so you’d better work on your personality.”

Emotional abuse isn’t always where you expect it. Sometimes it is in comparing your child against your own dreams, siblings, friend’s children, or other criteria. Each child is an individual with his own personal set of abilities and faults. As parents, we need to help them recognize and develop their abilities and minimize their faults.

Emotional abuse may be in the form of “I told you so...” rather than guiding. At times we may need to hold our tongue, pick up the pieces, and redirect our child. Emotional abuse includes indicating that what is important to our child is really “juvenile.”

Children need encouragement on the little things of life, so they can learn to face the big things.

Laughing and teasing is often emotional abuse. Much so-called “humor” is really thorn, barbs, and swords that jam weaknesses into our face. A child needs honest, sincere praise for what he or she does well, then, guided to develop skills in what he doesn’t do well, yet accepted for what he can’t do.

Adult success is largely based on our literacy and our self-esteem. Abuse of any kind mars, if not defeats, success.

Looking at literacy from the viewpoint of the business world provides more food for thought. One statement caught my eye in the report

Newton Daily News Editorial Board Bob Eschliman Editor Kelly Vest Prod./Circulation

Jeff Holschuh Ad Director Brenda Lamb Business Mgr.

Opinions expressed in letters and columns are those of the writers and do not represent the views of the Newton Daily News.

“Measuring Up in Our Schools,” “... our companies need workers who are more capable, more flexible, and more productive...”

Literacy encourages flexibility and productivity. Literacy is a little like the wisdom found in the old saying, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” If you choose to be literate in only your little section of the world, it is more than likely that somewhere down the road of life, you will become a relic, especially at the pace of today’s progress.

Literacy enables people to prepare for responsible citizenship through learning to reason through what they read. I fear Americans often shortcircuit themselves because they are content with surface literacy and surface learning.

Surface learning may look nice, as do surface manners. Think of someone you know who has perfectly proper manners and appropriate social behavior, but has little consideration for the welfare of others.

True manners spring from the idea that we want to be as kind to those in which we come in contact, as we would expect them to be toward us.

True literacy means looking for the deeper message underneath the surface meaning. If we want our children to become literate, we need to stand tall as their primary role model.

Can we really expect to raise literate children if we fail to practice literacy? Nothing defeats me more than to hear an adult brag, “I never pick up a book, magazine, newspaper, etc. I

don’t need any of that stuff.”

Actually, they can’t believe that statement in today’s world. Try convincing Uncle Sam that you aren’t literate enough to file your income taxes. Nor would you choose to be so illiterate you couldn’t check your pay stub, or read the warnings on herbicide.

I know of no person who “teaches” their children to watch sports or television. Children watch these for two reasons basically.

First the sport or television catches their interest and secondly they see the important people in their lives watch it. After all, children reason this must be important because Mom and Dad pay tribute to it.

If you want a child to learn to read or to do anything new, then set him or her up for success, not failure. We can do that even if we have failed repeatedly ourselves. We don’t have to fail as a parent because we fail in other things.

Our children are our biggest cheerleading section. They want us to succeed with all their heart, even when they appear to fight us.

Get parenting help in those areas that you feel inadequate. Don’t take it out on your child for your own inadequacies. Help your child by helping yourself.

If you see danger signs of abusing physically, mentally, or emotionally in yourself or others, seek help. Feeling good about yourself allows your child to feel good about himself or herself.

Until next week — Christine Pauley

Alley Oop Continued from Page 1A Today, the strip is written and drawn by the Benders. They became acquainted with Mark nearly 15 years ago through a special event hosted by the Daily News.

“Jack is from the Waterloo-Cedar Falls area, and had a really good friend from his days at the Courier, Mike Chapman,” Carole Bender said. “Mike asked Jack to give a talk and to sign autographs. As Jack was signing autographs, he noticed a

guy with a beard and a big, beaming smile.”

That was Mark. Once he had a chance to meet Jack Bender, he was able to express his lifelong infatuation with the “Alley Oop” comic strip. They continued to converse from time to time, which provided another opportunity for Mark and the Benders to cross paths a couple years later.

“About 13 years ago, I learned that the original creator of ‘Alley Oop,’ V.T. Hamlin, grew up in Perry,” he said. “I then started working on a documentary film

Through her own personal research after his death, she was able to find out that he was stationed aboard the USS New Mexico during its tour in the Pacific Theater when it sustained multiple kamikaze attacks.

For her, the Navy was an experience she could never regret because of the connection it gave to her grandfather.

It wasn’t until a year later, in the summer of ’96, that Rhonda was ordered to her basic training with the Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, Ill. After the conclusion of her eightweek training regimen, she was select-

Mexico and Simpson College, and after the two moved to Prairie City, she began volunteering in the school.

After working as an associate with special needs children, Rhonda was once again called to serve when the special education instructor took a long-term leave.

“I think I use a lot of the lessons that I learned in the Navy in school,” Rhonda said. “It’s important for me to earn the respect of my students rather than automatically getting it due to my position … If I can be honest and respectful with them, we’re on the right path.”

In a talk she gave to the middle school students on Veterans Day, Rhonda talked about courage and how it came in many forms.

“When Oop has had such a serious injury, we thought what better hands to put him in than one of his Number One fans.”

The Dr. Lambert character will continue to be a part of the daily comic strip through Monday, Dec. 2.

“Alley Oop” appears daily — twice on Friday — on the Daily News’ Diversions page, found on page 6A. Daily News Editor Bob Eschliman may be contacted at (641) 792-3121, ext. 423, or at beschliman@newtondailynews.com.

That’s not the Navy that I was in,” Rhonda said. “That takes guts, true, but there are so many ways to be brave … We use the military to provide aid, we’re not just there to defend but also to help. We’ll be in the Philippines soon, helping there, and that is bravery that the students can have.”

She addressed the students about the need to stand up for their peers in the face of bullying, to not only help the victim but to also address why bullying is wrong.

She gave them lessons that she not only preaches, but puts into practice every day.

“Sometimes you have to fight for your kids. I have to stand up for them, or who will?”

Initially, Carole said, the doctor Dr. Wonmug selects was going to be the Benders’ personal physician. But, they didn’t know him quite as well as they knew Mark.

So, even though Mark is an attorney by trade — he’s an assistant city attorney in Ames — they felt he would make a good “Dr. Lambert” for the strip.

Mark and Carole are Facebook friends, as well, which is why he was picked to play a role in the comic strip.

Wife’s wild past puts future of her marriage in jeopardy DEAR ABBY: This is my wife’s second marriage. When we were dating, she led me to believe that I was the second sexual partner she had ever had. Shortly after our wedding, I found out through some mutual acquaintances she had attended college with that she had been very promiscuous during her college years and that the number of men she has been with is far greater than two.

I feel lied to and trapped in my marriage. (If I had known this, I would not have married her.) She knows I know.

She dismissed it by saying the past doesn’t matter, but what she fails to recognize is that it matters to ME. I can’t help but wonder if she has lied to me about something this important, what else will she lie to me about?

I love her and want to stay with her, but I feel betrayed and, frankly, embarrassed by her now. What do I do? — CONFOUNDED IN THE SOUTH DEAR CONFOUNDED: People lie when they feel threatened, when they want to impress someone or when they’re ashamed of something. The lie your wife told you may fall into the latter category.

She wasn’t honest about the number of men she had been with because she knew you would react the way you have.

You say you love her, but if you truly feel embarrassed by the fact that you’re not the second man she has slept with, then you either need to change your attitude or do her a favor and think about ending your marriage. From my perspective, the number of lovers she has had since the wedding is far more important than the number she had before.

Please be aware that many women in our society have had multiple partners, so if you’re looking to replace your wife anytime soon, you may be hard pressed to find a woman with no experience. If you want to salvage your marriage, I strongly recommend you talk to a therapist, but don’t spend your money unless you can forgive your wife for being afraid to tell you the truth.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 16-year-old guy,

and I have a problem. I recently met a girl in a chat room, and we seemed to hit it off pretty well. As we’ve been talking, she has told me she is suicidal, and in the past three days she has made three attempts to take her life. (As I’m writing this, she is in the hospital.)

Being a sensitive person, I try to talk her out of it, but she keeps shutting me out, and once she’s OK, she is a completely different person. I still want to be her friend, but this is getting to be too much for me. Please help. — WORRIED IN VERMONT DEAR WORRIED: You are a caring person, but you must recognize that the girl you are corresponding with is emotionally fragile. Right now she is unable to respond to you and, frankly, you are not equipped to help her. It’s good that she is in the hospital because that is where she needs to be until she can be stabilized.

If you continue to stay in touch with her and she tells you again that she is suicidal, you should ask her where she is and if she has done anything to herself. Then call 911 and report it so she can get help QUICKLY. DEAR ABBY: What do you do with a husband who is loud and rude, who curses constantly and argues with you and the TV, and is a bully to you and your daughter? — THAT’S IT IN A NUTSHELL DEAR THAT’S IT: As little as possible!

Brock, a 6-1, 210-pound senior, became a two-time Class 3A All-District 4 linebacker.

He led the Cardinal defense, but he also was an anchor on the offensive line.

Brock and senior Jake Huizenga, who earned first-team All-District 4 honors as an offensive lineman, were the Cardinals’ starting guards.

They were mainstays on the offensive line the past two years. Huizenga is 6-1 and 215 pounds.

Junior quarterback Tyler Wood, a two-year starter at that position for the Cardinals, and junior wide receiver Nick Easley became the passing game threat for Newton in 2013. Wood and Easley set school records on the field and garnered Class 3A All-District 4 first-team recognition. Wood had earned honorable mention as quarterback a year ago.

Ryan Thompson was awarded first-team All-District 4 honors as a senior.

Thompson was the punter, a placekicker and defensive end for the Cardinals this season.

He finished fifth in the district as a punter and fifth in kickoff yardage.

three. Brock moved to second on the NHS career total tackles list, 126.5, and career solo tackles, 102. He is tied for first in career fumble recoveries with three.

Wood established himself as Newton’s career leader in passing yardage, pass attempts, pass completions and touchdown passes. In his second season as starting quarterback for the Cardinals, he piled up school marks in the passing game.

Wood threw 13 touchdown passes this season, a new NHS record. He threw four touchdown passes against AdelDeSoto-Minburn, a school

record. He was 71-of-134, which is 53 percent, for 1,063 yards this season. He threw seven interceptions.

Wood is atop the Newton career lists in touchdown passes thrown (21) in passing yardage (2,364) pass attempts (323) and pass completions (176).

Wood was Newton’s second-leading rusher for the 2013 season, gaining 504 yards on 129 carries. He scored five rushing touchdowns. Wood was third in passing among District 4 quarterbacks plus he finished 13th in rushing on the district list and fourth in total offense (1,567 yards) combining rushing and passing.

Easley emerged quickly as the top receiver for the Cardinals in 2013. The 5-10, 180-pound junior became the “go-to-guy” for Wood. Easley snatched nine touchdown receptions this season, a new NHS single-season record.

Easley caught 34 passes for 517 yards. He led the team in scoring with 54 points. Easley finished fourth on the District 4 receiving list. He was second in touchdown receptions and eighth in scoring. Easley’s 517 yards puts him fourth on the Newton career receiving FOOTBALL See Page 2B

By Dustin Turner Daily News Sports Writer

I have always been drawn to the sporting world, especially professional sports.

There is something so fantastical about seeing superhuman feats achieved on a nearly daily basis. Those feats

Better at sports, not at life

are what we all crave as sports fans, and they are what draws 14 million people to watch a baseball game on a Friday night.

However, this fascination with superhuman abilities can also put some metaphorical blinders on our eyes, blinding us from the reality that these athletes, despite performing acts that many of us could only dream of, are still mortal. They have faults. They make mistakes, and they’re usually some pretty big mistakes.

My fascination with sports as a kid drew me to the most incredible league in the world, the National Basketball Association. With all due respect to NFL and MLB players, pro basketball players regularly perform in ways that you or I could never imagine. As opposed to throwing, catching or hitting, these men fly through the air with supreme coordination and grace.

My favorite player was Penny Hardaway. Hardaway played like Magic

Johnson with a mean streak. His combination with Shaquille O’Neal on the ’90s Orlando Magic teams inspired a sense of wonderment in me. I loved that team. In the infancy stages of video games, they were the only team I wanted to play with. When NBC Sports showed basketball games, I was either watching the Jordan Bulls TURNER See Page 2B

Three Hawks seniors claim SICL honors

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor SULLY — Lynnville-Sully had a senior trio net postseason volleyball honors from South Iowa Cedar League coaches. The 2013 All-SICL teams were recently announced.

Cassie Cullen, the Hawks’ 5-11 senior middle hitter, was named to the All-South Iowa Cedar League First Team. Seniors Macy Lanser, a 5-9 outside hitter, and Jade Van Reese,

the Hawks’ 5-4 setter, received league honorable mention.

Lynnville-Sully finished right in the middle — 5-5 — in the 11-team SICL. The Hawks ended up at 10-15 overall, and went 1-1 in Class 1A regional tournament play.

Cullen, who received league honorable mention as a junior, led Lynnville-Sully with 251 kills, which was third in the South Iowa Cedar League.

In three seasons on the Hawk varsity team, Cullen piled up 471

kills.

Cullen finished as the Hawks’ leader in digs, 205, this season, bringing her three-season total to 327 digs. She was 11th in digs for the league. Cullen made six solo blocks and had 14 assisted blocks at the net.

Cullen and Lanser tied as leader in service aces for the team this season with 38 aces apiece. They were tied at 10th on the SICL’s serving ace list.

Cullen was a 91-percent server, 193-of-212. Cullen finished with a three-year total of 124 ace serves.

Lanser went 170-of-198 serving the volleyball for an 85.9-percent clip. She was fourth on the team in digs with 177, giving her a two-year varsity total of 247. Lanser had 53 kills and nine block assists.

Van Rees was a steady force for two years as the Hawks’ setter. She put up 475 set assists in 2013, which was fifth in the SICL. Van Rees, who earned league honorable mention for the second straight year, has a two-year total of 939 set assists for LynnvilleSully.

Van Rees came up with 166 digs, pushing her varsity total to 302 over two years. She also had 36 ace serves for a two-year total of 102. Van Rees went 202-of228, 88.6-percent, from the service line. She had 21 kills and five block assists at the net.

Turner: Choose role models with a grain of salt Continued from Page 1B or the Magic. I much preferred the Magic because of Penny’s more relaxed demeanor and the ease with which he performed at a high level.

I grew up idolizing Penny, and although injuries derailed what would have been an all-time great career, I still continued to follow him from the Magic, to the Suns, to the Knicks. I had every incarnation of a Penny Hardaway jersey imaginable. (Side note: my favorite was the black Magic jersey with white pinstripes.) No. 1 in your programs, No. 1 in your hearts.

Most of that changed on a December morning in 2000. I was downstairs, getting ready for school.

My dad, as usual, was watching the previous night’s Sportscenter when I saw Penny’s face pop up on an

over-the-shoulder graphic. As I listened intently, the anchor described that Penny had been charged with domestic abuse.

For a 10-year old kid, this was crushing. I felt like I knew this guy, although in reality, I had just been so taken by his athletic feats that I failed to realize the humanity in him. Over the course of the next few years as media coverage expanded and the Internet grew to a state where anyone’s indiscretions can be seen for the right price, the Santa Clause-like rose-colored glasses that I had previously used to watch sports fell to the side.

It’s perfectly fine to idolize a sports figure, but only do so with that caveat in mind. Athletes and coaches are just like everybody else.

In fact, the fame and monetary compensation that comes with such

talent is often a burden on their personal lives, making them more susceptible to acts of deviancy.

I will never forget what I saw Penny do on the basketball court.

Those games, passes and shots will forever have a special place in my mind, but Penny’s personal situation is something to which I owe an even greater debt. This is what opened my eyes to the reality of sports, and I began to look to others as role models. I began to read about Thomas Jefferson and Martin Luther King, two men who had indiscretions of their own, but I was able to admire for certain aspects of their work.

This is why it’s important to be able to idolize people who have done great deeds for those deeds alone. Everybody’s human, and if you pretend that certain people are not, they will never fail to disappoint you.

Miguel Cabrera repeats as AL MVP; McCutchen wins NL award NEW YORK (AP) — All those who marvel at Miguel Cabrera can only wonder what he might’ve done this year if completely healthy.

Even so, Cabrera was a huge hit in Motown.

Despite being hobbled by all sorts of ailments, the Detroit Tigers slugger won his second straight American League Most Valuable Player award Thursday, once again beating Angels outfielder Mike Trout by a comfortable margin.

A season after winning baseball’s first Triple Crown in 45 years, Cabrera came back to lead the majors in hitting at .348 and finish second with 44 home runs and 137 RBIs. “I think this year was tougher because of the injuries,” he said on a conference call from the Miami area.

“It was Cabrera the last two months.

It was tough to play through it,” he said.

The eight-time All-Star missed several games after the break because of a bad back, a sore left hip flexor, a strained lower abdomen, shin trouble and a groin tear. He recently had surgery to fix the tear and said he’ll be ready for spring training.

Still, Cabrera got 23 of 30 firstplace votes from members of the

Baseball Writers’ Association of America. He became the first player to win consecutive AL MVPs since Frank Thomas for the Chicago White Sox in 1993 and 1994.

Pirates center fielder Andrew McCutchen took the NL MVP by a surprisingly wide margin after leading a baseball revival in Pittsburgh.

McCutchen drew 28 of the 30 first-place votes to finish far ahead of Arizona first baseman Paul Goldschmidt and St. Louis catcher Yadier McCutchen Molina.

“I’m floating right now,” McCutchen said in Pittsburgh. “But I definitely didn’t expect it to be a landslide with those other guys — Goldschmidt and Molina. They were great candidates and I didn’t know what to expect.”

McCutchen ranked among the NL leaders by hitting .317 with 21 home runs and 84 RBIs. He also scored 97 runs, stole 27 bases and had a .404 on-base percentage.

The 27-year-old with the long, flowing dreadlocks helped the Pirates stop a record streak of 20 losing seasons and make the playoffs for the first time since 1992.

Cabrera finished with 385 points, while Trout got five first-place votes and 282 points. The difference was 81 points last season, when Trout was AL Rookie of the Year.

Baltimore first baseman Chris Davis, who led the majors with 53 homers and 138 RBIs, was third. Da-

vis and Oakland third baseman Josh Donaldson each received a first-place vote.

Cabrera took his third AL batting title in a row. He also drew a $1 million bonus for winning a second MVP during his current contract with the Tigers.

No AL player has won three straight MVPs. Albert Pujols was the last repeat NL MVP winner in 2008 and 2009; Barry Bonds took four straight from 2001-04.

Voting for the BBWAA awards was done before the playoffs.

McCutchen, third in MVP balloting last season, got 409 points. Goldschmidt finished second with 242, while Molina received the other two first-place votes and came in third.

McCutchen’s win came two days after Pirates manager Clint Hurdle was picked as the NL Manager of the Year. McCutchen was the first Pittsburgh player to win the MVP since Bonds in 1992.

The Pirates went 94-68 this year, a season after going 79-83. Along the way, McCutchen became the face of the franchise and heard loud “MVP!” chants when he would step to the plate at PNC Park this summer.

“I’d lie to you if I said it didn’t enter my mind ever,” he said. “It’s awesome to hear something like that.”

Pittsburgh beat Cincinnati in the NL wild-card game, then lost to St. Louis in a division series that went the full five games.

Boston wound up beating St. Louis in the World Series. No one on the Red Sox or Cardinals won any of the major BBWAA awards.

Football: Newton players nab district honors Continued from Page 1B yards list and he is eighth on career points scored with 86 points.

Thompson punted 44 times for 1,612 yards, which was 36.6-yard average. Thompson, a 6-5, 245-pound senior, finished third on the NHS career list in both punt attempts and yardage.

For kickoffs, Thompson booted the football 35 times for 1,740 yards and had two touchbacks.

Thompson made the only field goal of the season for the Cardinals. He kicked a 28-yarder against ADM. Defensively, Thompson had six solo tackles and seven assisted tackles. He recovered one fumble.

Glotfelty, a 5-10, 180-pound outside linebacker, made a return of Cardinal football as a senior.

He was the team’s second-leading tackler with 38 solo stops and 23 assisted tackles. He had six tackles for loss, 1.5 quarterback sacks and one fumble recovery.

Harris led the team in rushing with 603 yards on 77 carries, and he scored six touchdowns. He scored 42 points, which included three two-point conversions — one by rush and two receiving.

Harris (6-2, 175) moved from receiver to running back on the 2013 varsity.

He returned seven punts for 74 yards and eight kickoffs for 144 yards, leading the team in all-purpose yardage at 1,013. Harris was ninth in rushing in District 4 and sixth in rushing-receiving total offense. He had 13 catches for 192 yards.

Hansen (6-2, 175) was a two-year starter at free safety for the Cardinals. In his senior season, Hansen had 24 unassisted tackles and 12 assisted tackles. He had five pass breakups, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.

Schroder was a starter on the defensive line the past two years and earned all-district honorable mention both seasons.

The 5-10, 210-pound senior recorded 16 solo tackles and seven assisted tackles. He forced two fumbles and recovered one fumble. He had 4.5 tackles for loss and two quarterback sacks. Schroder also played fullback on offense, smashing across the goal line twice for touchdowns.

Colts rally from 14-down, beat Titans 30-27

ASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Indianapolis Colts keep digging themselves into early holes — and proving they know how to come back and win.

Donald Brown ran for two touchdowns, Andrew Luck added another and the Colts rallied yet again, this time beating the Tennessee Titans 30-27 on Thursday night.

The Colts (7-3) trailed 14-0 in the first quarter and have been outscored 35-0 in the first quarters in their past three games — two of them victories.

“At the end of the day winning is what matters,” Luck said. “We were fortunate in this game to survive our mistakes and have a chance to win. ... But we know that’s got to be fixed.”

Adam Vinatieri kicked three field goals, including a 50-yarder, and Coby Fleener had a career-high eight catches for 107 yards to help the Colts bounce back quite nicely from a 38-8 home loss to St. Louis.

The Titans (4-6) lost their second straight and fifth in six games, blowing the big lead.

Chris Johnson ran for two touchdowns and 70 yards in the first quarter, but had only 16 yards after that.

The Colts won their fourth straight and for the ninth time in 10 games over their divisional rival with Vinatieri’s 30-yard field goal as the first half expired helping settle the Colts down. That was the first of 20 straight points as they dominated in the third quarter holding the ball for more than 11 minutes in taking a 23-17 lead.

They opened the third quarter with an 11-play drive where Brown capped the drive with a 7-yard TD. Then Devon Wylie fumbled on the kickoff for Tennessee. Daniel Herron recovered for the Colts at the Titans 20, and Luck scrambled for an 11-yard TD two plays later.

NATIONSTAR MORTGAGE, LLC 75-2921540 Plaintiff, vs.

Virgil E. McCammant; Spouse of Virgil E. McCammant, If Any; Defendants ORIGINAL NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION EQUITY No. EQCV118528 TO THE ABOVE NAMED DEFENDANTS: You are hereby notified that there is a petition on file in the office of the clerk of the above court which petition prays for a judgment in rem against the property involved in this action for the sum of $20,909.00 with interest at 6.125% per annum from and including April 1, 2011, on the promissory note executed by Virgil E. McCammant and mortgage executed by Virgil E. McCammant to Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. and assigned to Plaintiff, who is the sole and absolute owner thereof.

The August 2013 Financials were approved as presented.

Moved: Lee Zmolek Second: Jim Gran Motion Approved The manager presented a request to purchase a used mower for $3,850 to be used at the Distribution Garage land. The mower could also be used at the water plant as a back up. The current used mowers are no longer serviceable and will be traded in.

Chairman Gran asked if we considered contracting the mowing.

Marty Kunkel said that contract mowing would be costlier if grass had to be cut weekly, but cheaper during drought.

The manager said that mower replacement had been approved as part of FY1314 CIP for $7,000. By purchasing used mower it would bring expense in under budget by $3,200.

Lee Zmolek moved to purchase used Gravely mower for $3,850 with trade-in from J&G Mowers of Newton.

Second: Jim Gran Motion Approved Marty Hoffert presented the Treatment Plant and Distribution report. The July static water level is 23'3”. The water level in the wells has dropped about 1 foot since August reading. Marty noted that water treated for the month was 163,000,000 gallons and also that water loss was 12% of total treated. Goal for water loss is <10%. Peak day water treated in August was 7,035,000 gallons.

The plant operated 562.25 hours in August, 2013 vs.

516.75 in August of 2012. The Distribution crew is waiting on an easement from Newton Village to complete N. 5th Av. W. main project. Only one main break in August.

Marty told Board that staff would meet with Fox Engineering on Monday to update final design for Flood Mitigation project, but probably would not bid until December or January, 2014. Fox feels that we will get better bids if we wait until then to hold bid letting.

Marty told Board that we had completed the EPA UCMR2 (Unregulated Contaminate Monitoring Regulation) testing. These are contaminates that are currently unregulated that EPA is testing for Water Systems over 10,000 population. UCMR3 will be required from 2013-2015.

The manager presented some preliminary Asset replacement costs. The group of wells in the East Well Field, which were built from 1952 to 1968, would cost approximately $1,000,000 to replace, and a Radial Collector Well to replace existing would cost about $1,500,000. Also to replace water main that was constructed prior to 1945 would cost approximately $6,697,045. Conversion of all water meters to an Automatic Read system would cost approximately $1,020,000.

Chairman Gran would like Board to consider feasibility of borrowing money to do several major projects, because of very low interest rates. The Board will discuss at a future date.

The Board meeting will be on Friday, October 18, 2013 at 12:00 noon in the City Council Chambers.

The meeting was adjourned.

After exchanging terse words with Uranus, Venus in Capricorn seeks refuge by snuggling up to Pluto in the same sign. As the love goddess aligns with the ruler of the underworld, there’s the sense that we are intrinsically connected to our loved ones with an unbreakable bond that spans many lifetimes.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 15). It’s a big year for your personal life. You’ll start by getting organized, streamlining your responsibilities, property and life systems. You move into a new role in December.

By January, you’re off to the races with an ambitious project. April brings travel and a promise. Loved ones celebrate with you in February. Gemini and Virgo people adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 1, 33, 38, 7 and 15.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). It bothers you when people assume they could have done what you did had they felt like moving on the idea. Bottom line: They didn’t act and you did. Hypothetical wins don’t count.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). Some people find it hard to be positive. They take their outrageous good fortune for granted. Not you. Your grateful thoughts will be blessings on your life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). You are physically strong now, and this will help you on every level.

You’ll be a top producer at work, your personal life will percolate with interesting offers, and you’ll have an attitude that keeps you in spiritual harmony.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). As much as you’d like to remain neutral, the time has come for you to choose a side. People who stand in the middle of the twolane road are only safe until someone swerves.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Regarding today’s risk: You really can’t lose, because even losing will put you ahead. You may try and win, or you may try and fail, but either way you’re better off than the ones who didn’t

try at all.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Whether or not you think you’re good with money, it’s something you have to deal with at every juncture of life. Establishing a few key fiscal habits now could make you far better off this time next year.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). It’s difficult to move the frozen minds of people who think they already know. Let them talk for a while, and you really listen.

The ice will start to melt.

Things will get flexible up there again.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

It’s not weak to circumvent an argument, confrontation or conflict — on the contrary. It’s what people who plan to live a long, long time do. What can you do to avoid stress, worry and tension?

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Your relationship with younger people may seem complex, but you could simplify it by reducing your number of rules to two:

1. Keep them from doing wrong. 2. Encourage them to do right.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You want to move up, but you are so good at doing what you’re doing that the ones in power fear they will not be able to replace you.

Record your systems and practices. How would you train someone to do what you do?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Nostalgia is for people with good memories. You will likely be the one to recount stories, and don’t be surprised if no one remembers things as well as you. Your storytelling ability is one of the many wonderful things you contribute.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You may have a gripe with your ancestors, as some of your genetic predisposition doesn’t meet with your approval. And yet, you have to admit that the talents they did give you are pretty glorious.
