NCSD board decides to hire PR firm ‘without parameters’

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Dave and Nila Rippentrop look through old photographs in their Newton home they had lived in from 1965 to 1972.

The couple lived in Florida for almost 40 years, and after returning to Iowa and living in Lake Mills, they discovered their old Newton home was on the market, and they bought the house and recently moved into it.

Rippentrops return to same home they bought 50 years ago Couple returns to Newton after moving to Florida 40 years ago

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Technology took Nila and Dave Rippentrop from Newton to southwestern Florida. In a way, technology brought them back — to the exact same house they’d bought 50 years ago.

The couple lived in Newton in the 1960s and 70s, when Dave worked in the telephone technology business. A job offer for Dave took the couple to the Fort Myers, Fla., area in 1974, and the couple returned to Iowa in July 2013 to be closer to Dave’s recently widowed sister in Lake Mills.

A chance conversation between Nila and the couple’s only daughter, Dawn, at a family reunion in August led to one of the

most unlikely of moves.

“She was looking up our old houses on her phone, and she got real quiet when she looked up our old house on East 13th Street,” Nila said. “She said ‘Mom ... It’s for sale.’”

That led to the couple coming to Newton to see the house, which had been kept up and improved in several ways through the years. While it was much smaller than what they’d become accustomed to in Florida, Nila fell in love with the kitchen, and the couple ended up buying the house and recently moved in.

Nila and Dave had made the small single-story house the first home they ever bought, taking over payments for the Spellman family and moving in during November of 1965. The total cost of

the home was $9,600, Nila recalls.

After moving to a house on North Second Avenue East in 1972, the job in a very fast-growing part of Florida came up in 1974. Dave was one of the few people around who had both the knowledge and skill in splicing telephone cable, and the west coast of Florida desperately sought people with his experience.

The house had most recently belonged to Newton firefighter Blaine Lefler and his wife, Jill, who moved to Runnells.

“When we came to see the house, I was very impressed,” Nila said. “It reminded me of an older lady who has had a facelift, and has a new hairdo.”

Dave, who is 72, still wants to have some major remodeling done, including moving out a front wall that would widen the front side of the kitchen, where it RIPPENTROPS | 3A

At a nearly four hourlong meeting Monday, the Newton Community School District didn’t end up taking many actions. However, a few of those actions were unclear in terms of what impact might actually occur.

One of the actions was to vote 5-2 to hire a public relations firm for the September 2016 bond election to rebuild the Berg Complex. However, board member Donna Cook’s motion didn’t indicate a particular firm be awarded a contract, or that a budget or any other parameters be established.

Cook explained she

was making a motion to direct administration to hire a PR firm to promote and market the district’s attempt to pass a general-obligation bond of more than $24 million. She said she trusts Superintendent Bob Callaghan and Business Services Director Gayle Isaac to make prudent choices within the district’s budget.

“Between the penny pincher (pointing at Isaac), and the competitive one (pointing at Callaghan), they’ll figure it out,” she said.

Callaghan mentioned he spoken with about four people regarding PR for the bond issue.

Newton City Newton seniors focus of holiday effort a Santa to Council begins ‘Be a Senior’ tree budget talks at Medicap

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News In a meeting that is typically held in January, the Newton City Council heard from the city’s four major stakeholders on Monday.

Representatives from the Newton Development Corporation, Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau, Newton Housing Development Corporation and Newton Main Street gave presentations regarding funding requests for the forthcoming budget season and gave updates on the work they have done and plans they have for the coming year.

Newton Development Corporation One big change for

NDC is the addition of rent for its office at DMACC or a new undecided space. In previous years, NDC has not had to pay rent for its office space in the building, but starting in 2016, the corporation expects to add $1,500 to $1,750 per month in rental fees, affecting its budget drastically.

“We have been extremely blessed and fortunate over the years to pay very little if not nothing.

That will change in 2016,” NDC chair Jo Jenkins said. “Most of our increase that we have asked from the city is to help place us in another location. We don’t know where that is going to be right now, but we are looking into sites.”

“It is heartbreaking to think of the senior members of our community spending the holidays all by themselves, without any gifts or any way to celebrate the season,” Home Instead of Senior Care owner Jeff Wisnieski said. “But all too often, that’s what happens when seniors live alone. It can be a really tough time of year for them.”

The ornaments feature a senior’s first name and their gift request. Holiday shoppers can pick out the ornaments from the tree, purchase the items listed and return them with the ornament to the pharmacy.

In Brief Farmland drainage to be covered at workshop

Joe Murphy/Iowa Soybean Association Rolland Schnell, right, has hosted Japanese visitors, such as those pictured here, and others on his Jasper County farm, and he’s concerned about recent budget cuts to federal funding sources that help American farmers meet international demand.

Farmers could be adversely affected by federal budget cuts Schnell among those concerned about Farm Bill crop insurance

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Some cuts in the most recent federal budget cycle, and the impact on crop insurance, have brought a negative reaction from one industry advocate, and even frustrated the lawmakers who voted to approve the overall budget.

Known as the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, Schnell the budget that was passed partly to avoid a repeat of the government shutdown chaos and politicking in recent years ended up installing significant caps to crop insurance. Rolland Schnell, whose farm is located southeast of Newton, is the president-elect of the Iowa Soybean Association’s Board of Directors.

“What is frustrating about the cuts is that there is too much of a short-term view approach to this,” Schnell said.

“Things were relatively good (in terms of commodity prices)

in 2013, when the last Farm Bill was being worked on.

There was about three years of work put into that bill — with many concessions made — but a very workable safety net was retained.”

The ammended final version of the 2014 U.S. Farm Bill was approved with a 58 percent majority in the House, and 68 U.S. Senators approved it, with five of Iowa’s six Congressman voting in favor of it. Sen. Chuck Grassley was the only Iowa lawmaker to vote against the final version of the bill.

Grassley said at the time that one of the few positive sides of the 2014 Farm Bill was that a strong crop insurance program was left intact.

After the recent budget negotiations hit the crop insurance program with cuts, the Republican said he voted in favor of the overall budget largely to avoid a government shutdown, but he was not pleased with either the closed-door process or many provisions of the spending plan.

“Government shutdowns don’t save money. They cost money, and they’re best avoided,” Grassley said. “This also was a bad deal on process. The 144-page bill was put together behind closed doors, and members had just a couple days before voting on it. This didn’t give the Senate much of a chance as the deliberative body it’s supposed to be.

It increases spending by $112 billion over the next two years, and pays for it with bad policy

— such as a $3 billion cut to crop insurance.”

U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack voted in favor of the budget act and its final amendment, but acknowledged he did so with regret about farm provisions.

He, too, took exception to portions of the final bill that were written without open-floor debate and without public scrutiny.

“This bipartisan, commonsense, compromise budget plan is a good start and is needed to get past the political games,” Loebsack said. “The budget plan that was voted on was far from perfect and I was reluctant to support it. Not only was this bill written behind closed doors, but it attempted to balance the budget on the backs of America’s farmers and ranchers.”

Schnell said federally subsidized insurance isn’t simply funds available if a farmer’s crop fails, although that’s an important component. The insurance caps and benefit provisions also affect a great deal of a farmer’s planning elements.

“The amount of crop insurance has a ripple effect on many parts of the business,” Schnell said. “It affects land prices, food prices and many things in between. It’s the only real safety net the ag industry has, and without it, it destroys stability.”

Practical Farmers to host annual conference AMES — Practical Farmers of Iowa is now accepting registrations for its 2016 annual conference, “Farmers Teaching Farmers,” which will take place Jan. 22-23 at the Iowa State Center Scheman Building, on the Iowa State University campus in Ames. All are welcome to attend.

This year’s theme celebrates the farmer-led approach to learning, teaching and sharing information that has been Practical Farmers’ hallmark for 30 years. Attendees will learn from their farming peers about land and soil stewardship; building community; creating viable farms, farmers and food systems; farm transfer; and more.

The conference — which attracted more than 800 farmers, researchers and supporters last year — will feature: • A keynote address by John Kempf, farmer and founder of Advancing Eco-Agriculture. His keynote — “Common Characteristics of Successful Farmers” — will explore characteristics of farming operations he views as “extraordinarily successful,” and how farmers can work those same principles into their decision-making.

• Thirty-one in-depth workshops on topics that span the agricultural spectrum, such as regenerative grazing, interseeding cover crops, farm energy planning, growing vegetables in high tunnels, establishing pollinator habitat, farm transfer strategies, understanding farm rules and regulations and nine “Ask an Expert” sessions, set up as Q&A roundtables, where attendees will have a chance to engage more deeply and ask detailed questions of experts.

The 2016 SARE Farmers Forum, a traveling annual event organized by North Central Region Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (NCR-SARE). Practical Farmers is hosting the 2016 forum, which gives farmers, ranchers and others funded by NCR-SARE grants the chance to share information about their research and demonstration projects. The Farmers Forum is being offered as a special track at the conference.

Those who pre-register by Jan. 14 will save $10 per day. Special rates are also available for students and PFI members.

Keeping Me on My Toes

Disney on Ice, here we come

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Nov. 24, 2015

For the third year in a row, my kids, husband and I will be attending Disney on Ice at Wells Fargo Arena in Des Moines. When ranking the excitement each family member going to the show, it’s a three-way tie with me and my two girls, with my husband sitting at a distant fourth.

We first went to Disney on Ice three years ago when the girls were 2 and 1. My oldest sat through the entire show and loved watching the skater glide across the ice and getting to see Mickey Mouse up close and in person.

The show typically consists of four condensed versions of different Disney movies from the past. My memory won’t let me remember all four from our first year, but I do remember seeing “The Little Mer-

maid,” “Peter Pan” and “Lilo and Stitch.”

The girls didn’t know any of the characters besides Ariel from “The Little Mermaid,” but they seemed to enjoy all of the activity nonetheless. My youngest didn’t quite make it through the whole program and spent a good portion of the show testing out her new walking skills with her dad.

Last year, the girls were excited Ariel made a second appearance along with the vehicles from “Cars” and Tinker Bell and her friends. The main event, and the biggest reason we went, was the gang from “Toy Story” was set to perform.

“Toy Story” was my oldest girl’s favorite movie. Woody and Buzz Lightyear even greeted her at our new house

when we moved in. Since my girls were a year older, they both watched the entire show and were giggling with delight seeing their favorite characters in real life, some even flying over us in the crowd.

This year it is my youngest daughter’s turn to have her favorite out on the ice. Almost every night we get a request to watch “Tangled,” starring Rapunzel herself. This year at Disney on Ice, Rapunzel will make an appearance along with Cinderella, Snow White and Princess Tiana from the “Princess and the Frog.” I have to say I am always more excited to see the girls’ reactions than anything that goes on during the show.

On the flip side of the show is the merchandise that greets us at every turn. Our

first year, we came home with a pretty cool toy — a lighted, spinning Flounder. Last year, both girls wanted a toy and after reviewing their choices, my oldest selected a Mickey Mouse cup that broke within the first 15 minutes of owning it and my youngest selected a Buzz Lightyear spoon/straw that she still uses. I can only imagine what we will be coming home with this year.

I hope to continue to make this a yearly tradition for our family. I know eventually the girls might outgrow seeing their favorite characters skating around, but I am going to cherish every minute of it now.

Measuring student success in community colleges Local students enroll in community colleges for a variety of reasons. Many students enroll with the intent to complete a degree or certificate while others enroll to meet a personal or educational goal – transfer to a four-year institution, find a job, or obtain a specific skill.

By Lisa Breja Over the past three decades, several national initiatives have been developed to assess how well colleges and universities are meeting the needs of these students. One such initiative is the Voluntary Framework of Accountability (VFA), which was recently developed by the American Asso-

ciation of Community Colleges.

The VFA is a national effort which stands to provide community colleges with an improved ability to assess their performance, identify areas for improvement, and demonstrate their commitment to their mission. The VFA has three parts: 1) measures of student progress and outcomes, 2) measures of workforce, economic, and community development, and 3) an approach for assessing student learning.

By partnering with the Iowa Department of Education, all Iowa community colleges will be participating in the VFA for the first time this year.

During the first year of statewide participation, Iowa community college data will focus on short- and long-term student progress metrics. These metrics assess how effectively students

move through developmental education courses, how well students persist in their education, and how well they complete a degree or certificate or transfer.

Participating colleges will have access to an online tool to compare individual college data with others. By using this analysis tool, community colleges can break down their data by gender, race/ethnicity, age, full- or parttime status, and low-income status. As a result, colleges will be able to target specific areas for improvement and develop action plans.

VFA measures related to workforce development and assessment of student learning will be addressed by a statewide sub-committee in future years.

ing goods, says it will no longer participate in the shopping spectacle known as “Black Friday.” This ritual of non-stop door-buster sales now overwhelms Thanksgiving.

This holiday is meant to be a calm, family-oriented time to get away from all the hubbub of life and reflect on our blessings. Yet in recent years, such national chains as Macy’s and Walmart have led a corporate assault on Thanksgiving with a buy-buy-buy blitz of consumer come-ons.

“Rush to the mall,” shout the barrage of Black Friday ads — enticing us to reduce our values to shallow monetary value — i.e., discounted stuff. They’ve turned this contemplative day of thanks into a weekend of worshipping mammon.

“Enough!” REI said.

The national retail co-op with 143 stores and $2.2 billion a year in sales is raising the ethical bar by boycotting Black Friday. Instead of shopping on the Thursday and Friday of Thanksgiving weekend, REI is urging its workers and customers to break out — literally.

Take a walk with family and friends, enjoy a bike ride, visit a public park and otherwise get outside the soul-suffocating syndrome of constant consumerism.

What a concept: Don’t shop — live. Connect with people, nature, the spirits ... and yourself. For more information, go to REI’s special website: www.OptOutside.REI. com.

Donald Trump’s recent slipping in the polls is good news because it means there are fewer white trash people in the countr y than we thought.

A lot of By Marc Dion people still care about the Kardashians, though, so there’s hope for Trump.

A lot of things bother me about Trump, but it’s been the cap that’s gotten to me most. You know the one I mean.

It says “Make America Great Again,” on the front.

So, according to Mr. Tomato Soup Tie, America isn’t great. In the words of our sworn enemies, America is not Akbar. Where I come from, them’s fighting words. And I was born in a working-class neighborhood where drunkenness was a keenly desired state.

In the last 10 years, I’ve been told that “America is the greatest country in the world,” until my ears rang. I’ve heard it said at the funerals of military dead and at the opening of a new industrial park, at a night-school graduation program for people who dropped out of high school and in a city park where I was covering the yearly AIDS picnic. Infected ex-junkies stood and cheered at the picnic when told how great it is in America.

THAT’s patriotism.

But Trump, he thinks it’s not great in America — not anymore. That means he does not think this the greatest country

in the world. That means he is less patriotic than a couple dozen nearly illiterate, welfare-sucking, virus-bearing ex-heroin addicts in an inner-city park.

Trump, an obvious ISIS “sleeper” agent, has clearly been sent here to persuade me and the junkies that America is second rate, like that cheap Mexican black tar heroin that eats your veins from the inside.

And that’s not America. America isn’t Mexico, where they grow the bad dope. America is Afghanistan, where they grow dope so good our America soldiers can’t wait to come home, start using it and begin making their way to that AIDS picnic.

Is that what Trump’s getting at, that America isn’t great because of wars and dope and poverty? No. War means you have a strong (or at least a willing) military. Dope is a personal weakness. Poverty is your own fault.

Mostly, as we know from Trump’s own utterances, the country isn’t great because you can’t call the colored people anything you want anymore and some women aren’t too pretty and we don’t bomb enough places.

I foresee a day when there won’t be anything in the country except war and the dope business. The first will make you a hero, and the second will kill you if the first one doesn’t.

And, because I’m a patriot, I hope there will always be an AIDS picnic.

Iowa KidsNet to hold information session on foster care and adoption in Newton Newton Daily News Iowa KidsNet, the statewide organization that recruits, trains, licenses and supports Iowa’s foster and adoptive families, will hold an information session in Newton on Dec. 15 for individuals interested in becoming foster or adoptive parents.

Foster care is the temporary placement of children with fam-

ilies outside of their own home due to abuse, neglect or other family crisis situations. The goal is for loving families to provide children with a safe, stable and nurturing environment.

There is no typical foster family — foster families can be single, married, homeowners or renters and can come from all racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds.

This information session gives attendees a basic overview of the process involved in foster care and adoption and an understanding of the characteristics of children in the child welfare system. There is no obligation to continue in the process by attending.

There is a large need for more families to foster teens, children with special needs or

behaviors and sibling groups. Iowa also has a need for more African American, Latino and Native American foster and adoptive parents.

To inquire online and see future session dates, visit www.iowakidsnet. com. Registrants will receive an information packet to fill out before attending the session.

For more information, call 1-800-2430756.

Jailed addict needs release from his low self-esteem

DEAR ABBY: I’m 23 years old and currently in the county jail. I’m gay and also an addict, having battled a heroin addiction for the past five years.

I managed to stay clean for almost two years. During that time I enrolled in college, got engaged, regained the respect of my family and started to have a normal life. Things were going very well for me, and then I relapsed. I threw everything away.

Abby, I need to know why, when things go well for me, I feel as if I don’t deserve to be happy so I self-destruct. I have absolutely no self-confidence. I’m very unhappy. Even when I seem to get what I want, it turns out to be not exactly what I wanted in the end. How can I fix this? I really do want to be happy; I just don’t know how. — UNHAPPY MAN IN INDIANA, PA. DEAR UNHAPPY: Your arrest may have been a blessing in disguise.

It has given you time to think clearly about why you are in this situation.

Because you now recognize what your issues are, you have already started on a path to healing.

You say you dislike yourself and your self-esteem is very low. This may be the reason you sabotage yourself when things start going well for you. After your release, a licensed psychotherapist can help you find the answers you’re looking for. Your nearest LGBT community center would be a good place to start.

Because you slipped up once doesn’t mean you will do it again, so stop beating yourself up and try to think positive. I wish you luck and a successful future.

DEAR ABBY: I met “Gil” a year ago. He was one of the nicest men I’d ever met. At the time, I didn’t realize he was a mama’s boy. But after we started to talk, I noticed he would repeat everything to his mother. We discussed it and it stopped, but that’s when his mom started treating me differently.

I’m pretty sure he told her what I had said.

Gil loves my cooking and has told me I cook like she does. I don’t know if that’s so good. I really like him, but I don’t know if I can handle his being such a mama’s boy. If he could cut the apron strings, we could have a great relationship. He treats me like a queen.

He respects me, never says an unkind word and compliments me often. But if I plan a meal for him and then his mom decides she wants him at her house, he cancels on me because he doesn’t want to hurt her feelings.

Gil is 51 and hasn’t been in a serious relationship in several years. I’m falling in love with him and don’t want to lose him. What do I do, and how do I handle this? — COMING IN SECOND IN MISSOURI DEAR COMING IN SECOND: Your mistake is trying to compete with Gil’s mother because you can’t win.

The woman who snags Gil will have to accept that they are a package deal.

Not many women these days are willing to accept that, which may be why Gil hasn’t had a serious relationship in years.

However, if you are the exception, the way to handle this would be to cultivate (and ingratiate yourself with) his mother. Find out what her favorite flowers are and send them with a sweet note, invite her to join you and Gil for dinner and movies — and if she offers suggestions about your cooking, accept them gracefully. I wish you luck.

4 Branstad pardons two turkeys

Two Iowans win $1 million lottery

DES MOINES — Two Iowa residents have won separate $1 million lottery prizes this month. Mike Hartman, 49, of Winfield and 75-year-old Betty Downs of Burlington claimed their prizes Monday. Hartman won his prize in the Mega Millions drawing on Friday. Downs won in the Nov. 10 drawing but didn’t check her ticket until Friday. Hartman bought his winning ticket at the Countreestore in Winfield, and Downs bought her ticket at the River Mart convenience store in Burlington.

DES MOINES — Gov. Terry Branstad has pardoned two turkeys as part of an annual Thanksgiving tradition in Iowa.

Branstad issued the special proclamation Monday outside Terrace Hill in Des Moines for two turkeys named Zoey and Spike.

Branstad noted during brief remarks that the birds had survived bird flu this year. The disease killed more than 1.1 million turkeys in the state. Branstad says he’s encouraged by producers going back to work.

East Penn Manufacturing Co., of Lyon Station, Penn., plans to begin construction next spring on a nearly 219,000-squarefoot plant in Oelwein and finish it by summer 2018.

The company plans to invest more than $64 million on the plant.

5 Facility to produce bulldozers

HAMPTON — A reward in the search for a northern Iowa man missing since 2013 has been increased to $100,000.

A $20,000 reward had been renewed in 2014 in the search for Ethan Kazmerzak.

It was increased recently to $100,000 by a group of anonymous donors. Kazmerzak, of Hampton, was last seen at a party in rural Franklin County on Sept. 15, 2013. He was 22 at the time. Police are also searching for his vehicle. The reward is available for anyone who has relevant information.

BURLINGTON — Burlington’s Case New Holland plant is once again manufacturing bulldozers after production shifted from a Georgia plant. A ceremony was held Wednesday to celebrate the addition of bulldozers to the Burlington facility’s product line, which also includes backhoe loaders and combine headers. This marks the third time that the facility, which has 700 employees, has produced bulldozers in its history.

As for its budget request, the NDC operates on a calendar year and is funded through June 30, 2016 at a flat rate of $31,250.

“We’re requesting a funding cycle of 18 months from July 1, 2016 through Dec. 31, 2017,” NDC Executive Director Frank Liebl said.

The breakdown of funding has the corporation asking for $42,500 for July 1, 2016 through Dec. 31, 2016 and $85,000 for the 2017 calendar year.

Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau Executive Director Linda Bacon touched on several events that occurred in Newton in the past year including a customer service workshop, Miss Iowa/Miss Teen Iowa pageant and a variety of motor coach tours that made stops in Newton along their way.

marketing event the CVB participated in was a booth at the Iowa State Fair which brought an additional 3,000 names of those interested in Newton.

A new tool the CVB utilized at the pageant this year was a survey that asked a variety of questions about why the spectator was visiting Newton, how they found out about Newton

and where they were staying in town, along other questions.

The feedback will be used in future marketing efforts to target the appropriate audiences and to start efforts to bring amenities to the city tourist suggest.

For budgeting, the request remained similar to previous years with 50 percent of the hotel/motel tax. They are requesting the $150,000 cap be lifted from tax to receive any monies earned above $150,000 should that be more than 50 percent.

Finally, the CVB has a big event of its own in 2016.

“We will be celebrating the Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau’s 20th anniversary this year,” Bacon said.

Newton Housing Development Corporation NHDC President Jennifer Cook spoke about the accomplishments of the organization during the 2015 year including Ground Breaker Homes agreeing to build five new homes in Fairmeadows North housing development, and the start of the First Avenue Improvement Program which is targeting exterior rehab efforts for interested homes on First Avenue.

In the coming year, NHDC plans to continue its marking efforts of Newton through a booth at the Des Moines Home and Garden Show, continued coverage and updates of current projects on social media and a revamp of the corporation’s website to make it more user friendly and modern.

It also hopes to work with the city to market and sell the remaining lots that were a part of the D&D program. Along with Newton Main Street, it will promote second story housing downtown.

Future projects on NHDC’s radar include promoting a commercial D&D program that could possibly make more room for multi-family or student housing.

NHDC is requesting $37,500 for the second half of 2016 and $50,000 for 2017, totaling $87,500. The corporation is hoping to fund a fulltime director in the coming year for the first time to have a person fully committed and educated on the work of the NHDC. Newton Main Street During the past year, New-

ton Main Street has been busy with many first time events and continuing popular events from its first year. Most recognizable was the return of the Newton Farmers’ Market back to the downtown area. Executive director Andrew Bassman said he was told by one business owner that sales had gone up by $100 every Tuesday during the market season.

Other new events included the Commercial Open House, Downtown Mini Golf, Second Story Housing Tour and Cash Mob. Back for a second year was the Magnetic Main Street fundraiser and a new project the organization accomplished was a pocket park located north of the square by the library.

Main Street is under contract with the city through the next year as a part of the initial application to become a Main Street community at a cost of $25,000.

Discussions on funding for each stakeholder will continue when it is placed on the agenda for the Dec. 7 council meeting.

HOW WE MADE THE GYRAFOAM Now Available!

Only $19.99 plus tax

In 1898, Howard Snyder, a rural Austin, Minnesota farm boy accepted an offer from Frederick L. Maytag to start working at the Parsons Band Cutter & Self Feeder Company in Newton, Iowa. This marked the start of Snyder’s inventive career of nearly thirty years culminating in a series of innovations that propelled the Maytag name to the forefront as an iconic brand among washing machine manufacturers. Dr. Tom Hoover, a Newton Iowa historian, has written a book entitled How We Made The Gyrafoam: The Story of Two Midwestern Farm Boys Who Changed Washday Mondays Forever, which is now available. The book follows the life of Howard Snyder, raised near Rose Creek, Minnesota, and reveals the role Frederick L. Maytag, a farm boy from Laurel, Iowa, played as his benefactor and friend. Together these two outstanding men led The Maytag Company to the top of the washing machine world in 1926.

the center by school officials, and there is a waiting list of 100 students.

The nonprofit is supported in part by a Dubuque Community Schools Leadership Enrichment After-School 21st Century grant.

Seventh-grader Deonte Howard says the coaches and volunteer at the center have put him on a different path.

“If not for the Dream Center, I’d probably still be out running around, angry, frustrated, getting into trouble at school and not getting anywhere,” Howard said.

Chris Nugent, principal of Fulton Elementary School, says she sees there is a greater collaboration between the school and parents due to the relationships they have developed with teachers who tutor at the center.

“You get to know each other and build that relationship before we have to talk about school issues. Then, they trust you and see that you care about them as a family and individuals, not just a number or a test score,” Nugent said.

The center hopes to expand over the next two years and partner with six Dubuque schools to serve 200 at-risk students in kindergarten through eighth grade.

It currently has partnerships with Fulton Elementary and Jefferson Middle School, serving students in those same grades but with efforts largely focused on those in fourth through eighth grades.

The center also wants to offer activities and leadership and volunteer opportunities to high school students, as well as provide

Nice guy Rhoads simply needed more victories

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior Jordan Henning, middle, signs an NCAA Division III commitment letter Monday to wrestle for Buena Vista University in Storm Lake next year. On hand for the ceremony were, from left, Newton High head wrestling coach Andy Swedenhjelm, Henning’s brother Logan Henning and Henning’s mother, Tori Rhoads.

Newton’s Henning to wrestle for Buena Vista

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Jordan Henning found his sport — wrestling — 14 years ago. The Newton High senior will continue competing on the mat after high school.

On Monday, Henning signed a NCAA Division III commitment letter to wrestle for Buena Vista University in Storm Lake. Henning said he was excited to have the opportunity to wrestle at the college level.

“Ever since I was a little kid, I knew wrestling was my sport. When I began to decide what I wanted to do after high school, I couldn’t think of not wrestling,” Henning said.

Henning said Buena Vista felt like home from the first time he stepped on the Storm Lake campus. He said the wrestling opportunity combined with the right academic opportunities pushed BVU to the top of his list.

“I went up there for a wrestling camp, and it felt right from the get-go,” Henning said. “I spent the day and took a tour. The coaching staff made me feel like family. They told me having me in their program was a top priority for them. That was nice to hear.”

The BVU Beavers are under the direction of head coach Jeff Breese, who is in his second season. Buena Vista is a member of the

Iowa Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

Henning is the returning starter at 220 pounds for Newton High’s Cardinals.

Henning posted a 13-17 record last year. He placed fifth in his weight class at the Little Hawkeye Conference meet.

“I think I can give Buena Vista somebody who is going to work hard and put in four years of effort for its program,” Henning said. “I hope to go up there, wrestle behind a guy who is pretty good my first year, then in my second year become a point scorer for the varsity squad.”

Henning will move to heavyweight in college wrestling. He said once his senior

season for Newton is finished, he will hit the weight room hard to put on muscle.

Henning said his academic pursuits will be in criminal justice or physical education and coaching.

“Buena Vista had both majors I was looking for which weighed a lot in my decision,” he said. “Some of the other schools I was interested in, or were interested in me, didn’t quite have the academics I needed.”

Henning is the son of Tori Rhoads and the late Aaron Henning of Newton.

Lynnville-Sully girls claim SICL victory in opener

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News VICTOR — Lynnville-Sully’s girls controlled their season-opening basketball game Monday with their defense. The Hawks powered past HLV’s Warriors, 58-19, in South Iowa Cedar League play.

“Our defense was the difference tonight as we never let HLV get any open shots, and it led to some easy baskets,” Hawk head coach Jerry

Hulsing said. “I thought our offense was good at times. ” The Hawks began with a 12-5 first-quarter advantage.

By halftime, Lynnville-Sully had a commanding 39-13 lead over HLV. The Hawks increased the margin to 56-19 by the end of three quarters.

Lynnville-Sully limited the Warriors’ offense. The Warriors shot 20 percent, 8-of-39, from the field and hit 3-of-10 free throw attempts. The Hawks held a

44-23 rebounding edge.

The Hawks nailed 5-of-15 3-point field goals and were 21-of-48 from the field overall for 43 percent. They cashed in 11-of 23 free throw attempts.

Brenna Lanser scored 18 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Marissa Vos added 12 points and 14 rebounds.

Haley James scored seven points while Mariah Vos, Makenzy Rozendaal and Camyryn Russed each had five points. Kasiah Ehres-

man and Hailey Scandridge scored three points each.

Marissa Vos and Russell each had three assists. Lynnville-Sully made 14 steals led

by Marissa Vos, James and Russell with three apiece.

Brooke Kuesel was HLV’s leading scorer with nine points.

Lynnville-Sully (1-0) is at BGM Monday.

Positives taken from Tigerhawks’ season-opening loss

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Colfax-Mingo’s girls’ basketball team lost all 22 games it played last year. The Tigerhawks averaged around 22 points per game.

Monday’s season-opening 42-point performance was a step in the right direction.

Unfortunately, one bad quarter plagued the Tigerhawks in a 56-42 loss to Martensdale-St. Marys.

Sophomore Ries Wilson, who did not play last year as a freshman, led the Tigerhawks with 10 points, six rebounds and two blocks.

Freshman Payton Rhone collected nine points in her first varsity games.

Those two additions, and a few others, to the roster coupled with plenty of returners should give the Tigerhawks (0-1) a more competitive team. C-M coach Michelle Grant wants her squad to be more aggressive on both ends of the court.

“Right now, we’re not used to having this many players,” Grant said. “Last year, we needed someone to shoot the ball and score.

This year, we have plenty of scorers, but we are fighting

each other for those points.

It doesn’t matter who scores.

We are not used to being able to play like that. We aren’t used to being able to work the ball around and see that a shot they take may not be the best shot.”

Junior Dakota Hostetter scored six points and led the Tigerhawks with 11 rebounds, five steals, three assists and three blocks in the loss.

Sophomore McKeely Tjaden added four points and seven boards before fouling out. Senior Jessica Albright also fouled out after scoring four points and pulling down five rebounds. Junior Alivia Haley scored six points and delivered four assists.

The game was tied at 6 after one quarter. Both teams scored 10 in the second quarter to make it 16-all at halftime.

The Blue Devils, who finished 18-8 last season, outscored the Tigerhawks 22-7 in the third and kept their hosts at a distance the rest of the way.

tensdale-St. Marys’ Riley Verwers in the second half of Monday’s 56-42 loss in Colfax. Wilson scored 10 points and grabbed six rebounds in the game.

The firing of Paul Rhoads as Iowa State’s football coach was inevitable.

He was a great guy and someone who would have stayed in Ames for as long as the school would have him. I truly believe that.

Loyalty isn’t always enough. Sooner or later, results write your script.

That was something By Troy Hyde Rhoads sim- Newton Daily ply didn’t do News enough of.

Sports Writer He is 32-54 heading into his final game of his seventh season at Iowa State. That’s just not good enough.

Losing to nationally ranked foes such as Baylor, Oklahoma, TCU and even blowing a lead against Oklahoma State was understandable and even acceptable to a certain degree.

However, in your seventh season, when your trying to keep your job and bring back momentum, winning the “winnable” games should be an expectation.

Losing to a mid-major program such as Toledo is unacceptable.

Losing a big halftime lead against what was a twowin Kansas State team also is something that has to be avoided.

Rhoads has won just eight games in the last three years.

Not even a newly renovated and spiffy stadium can fix that.

He won just one bowl game and had one winning season in his seven years.

Both of those were in 2009, which was his first season in Ames. And arguably he did that because he had great players Gene Chizik recruited.

Part of the issue was games that were played away from Jack Trice Stadium. He didn’t win enough at home, but he was only 3-12 on the road since the beginning of 2013.

That just won’t cut it.

He fared well against instate rival Iowa. He started 0-2 but finished by winning three of his final five games in the Cy-Hawk Series.

That’s not great, but it’s at least nearly a win every other season.

Cyclone fans can deal with that.

They can’t deal with drilling Tulsa to start the 2012 season and then getting drilled by the same Tulsa team in a bowl game later that year.

That doesn’t show that the program is getting better throughout the season.

They won’t deal with losing to an FCS program in backto-back seasons like they had to do in losses to Northern Iowa (2013) and North Dakota State (2014). Quite frankly, they shouldn’t have to.

I have no idea who Iowa State Athletic Director Jamie Pollard should hire. I won’t pretend to be an expert on the subject.

The Cyclone program and its fans need someone who will be willing to stay long enough to build a foundation.

Dan McCarney was that guy. So was Rhoads.

But as McCarney found out, once hope can no longer be sold, it’s time to go another direction.

No. 4 ISU takes down Chattanooga AMES (AP) — Iowa State has become known as one of the nation’s top 3-point shooting teams.

The Cyclones have finally found their stroke.

Naz Mitrou-Long scored 24 points, Georges Niang added 19 and fourth-ranked Iowa State beat Chattanooga 83-63 on Monday night for its third straight win.

Monte Morris had 14 points and 10 assists for his second career double-double with the Cyclones (3-0). They celebrated their highest ranking since the 199697 season by hitting a season-high 14 3-pointers — including six from Mitrou-Long.

Iowa State stretched a 15-point halftime lead to 23 early in the second half in cruising to their 29th straight non-conference win at home.

The Cyclones hit six of their first nine 3-point tries, and Mitrou-Long opened the second half with a triple that gave Iowa State a 60-37 lead.

McKay pulled down a career-high 17 rebounds. He’s now averaging nearly 13 a game.

Doug Wells/Grand View University Former Collins-Maxwell/Baxter standout Joey Nissen celebrates his game-winning 31-yard field Saturday during third-ranked Grand View’s 16-13 win over No. 13 Lindsey Wilson in the first round of the NAIA football playoffs in Des Moines. Nissen also booted a 25-yard field goal with 9:40 to play in the fourth quarter and scored all six of Grand View’s points in the second half. The Vikings (11-1) will host No. 6 Marian University in the NAIA quarterfinals this weekend.

Iowa State’s Jamie Pollard says results led to Rhoads’ dismissal AMES (AP) — Athletic director Jamie Pollard had hoped that Paul Rhoads would spend the rest of his career coaching at Iowa State.

The losing simply became too frequent to ignore.

Pollard said Monday that he dismissed Rhoads Rhoads because the program simply wasn’t going in the right direction.

Pollard spoke to reporters two days after a devastating loss at Kansas State left Iowa State at 3-8.

Pollard said he wished he didn’t have to fire Rhoads, who signed a 10-year extension in 2012, but the results simply weren’t there. The change was announced Sunday.

Iowa State has won just eight games since the start of the 2013 season.

“Sometimes you can want

something more than it wants you. I wanted him to be our coach. He wanted to be our coach,” Pollard said. “But it just wasn’t meant to be.”

Pollard said the search for a new coach is already underway, though he declined to discuss his timetable.

Rhoads will coach the Cyclones in their season finale at West Virginia this weekend after Pollard gave him the opportunity to do so.

“I’m no quitter. I would never walk away from the job, walk away from the opportunity to coach these young men,” Rhoads said Monday in an emotional news conference.

Rhoads raised eyebrows when he mentioned that Iowa State would best be served in a 12-team league with two divisions — like the Big 12 was before realignment — because of the inherent challenges for a program that has struggled historically as much as Iowa State has.

Rhoads touched on an issue that Pollard will likely face in the weeks ahead:

COLLEGE FOOTBALL

Tigerhawks Continued from Page 1B we want them to do,” Grant said.

“They got confused on where they needed to be. That’s something we can work on over the break though.”

Colfax-Mingo scored 19 points in the fourth quarter. The Blue Devils (1-0) led by as many as 21. The Tigerhawks closed the gap with a 7-0 run that included a 3-pointer and jumper by Rhone and a free throw by Haley and Hostetter.

The Blue Devils went back up 20, but Haley and Wilson finished the game with back-toback threes.

The good news for the Tigerhawks is they have video to learn from. They’ll have more than a week to fix some of the issues which popped up during their season opener.

“I like this early game,” Grant said. “We have the break to fix some things and show them on video what we need to do. We’ll learn a lot from this game and be ready to go for conference play.”

Ashley Kraber was the Devils’ third-leading scorer last year, but is the No. 1 option this year. She tallied nine points in the Devils’ big third quarter and finished with 23 in the game to lead the visitors.

There are a number of power five conference jobs likely to be open and the Cyclones probably won’t be high on many coaches’ lists.

Iowa State has gone to just 12 bowls games and won only three of them.

Pollard said the $4.5 million owed to Rhoads in a buyout won’t impact how much Iowa State can pay his successor.

“We’re in a competition,” Pollard said. “We certainly have a history of not letting the grass grow under our feet in search processes. So I think we’re equipped institutionally to move forward...but yeah, it’s certainly more of a seller’s market than a buyer’s market.”

Rhoads had trouble composing himself Monday, displaying the passion that endeared him to the Cyclones fan base before the losses really started to pile up. As for his future, Rhoads said he had “no idea” what he’ll do next, though he mentioned how much he enjoys coaching more than once.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo sophomore McKeely Tjaden (14) scored four points and grabbed seven rebounds in Tigerhawks’ season-opening loss to Martensdale-St. Marys on Monday.

C-M junior Brianna Cooper, a potential starter, missed the game due to illness.

The Tigerhawks do not play again until Dec. 1 when they host North Mahaska in their first South Iowa Cedar League game.
