A drug warrant search at a Newton home Monday turned up an explosive device which led to an evacuation of a Newton neighborhood and the arrest of two people.

David L. Kelso, 44, and Jennifer A. Kelso, 35, were taken to the Jasper County Jail; both were able to post their $300 bonds Monday night and were released. They were charged only with possession of drug paraphernalia, a simple misdemeanor.

Several agencies responded when a drug task force discovered what appeared to be an explosive device during a federal warrant search of the Kelsos’ home, located at 820 First Ave. W., at about 3:40

The U.S. Postal Inspector’s Service, with the assistance of the MINE Drug Task Force, was executing a federal search warrant at the residence when the device was located inside.

The Newton Police Department, Newton Fire Department, Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office, and the Jasper County Emergency Management Office were all involved in maintaining the perimeter while the State Fire Marshal team was en route.

The investigation into the suspected explosive device is ongoing.

ments for 2016-17.

With the district moving into a configuration that has four K-4 campuses, a grades 5-6 Berg “intermediate” school, a few teachers will remain at their current campus and grade level, while many others will make a change of some kind. Teachers were surveyed on their first and second choices of assignment in Sep-

tember, and Callaghan said those preferences were met in almost every case.

“We followed teacher preferences, as indicated on the surveys, followed by seniority as the secondary determining factor,” Callaghan said. “Except for less than a handful of cases, we were able to follow the preferences. This was the (week

of Nov. 23) discussion from the principals to the teachers.”

Callaghan said the TLC Grant, which will create new leadership positions once approved, could affect the assignments, as some of the teachers who have indicated a preference could still apply for a TLC position.

Mark your calendars for the second weekend in June as Newton Fest is back after a successful first year. The new event, held for this first time last summer, is back June 9 to 12, co-chair Nathan Unsworth announced to the Newton City Council on Monday.

“It was a great celebration of our community downtown and throughout really our whole community,” Unsworth said.

Unsworth began with a recap of events from the 2015 edition of Newton Fest, which brought more than 2,000 people to community. Some notable events during the weekend include ridiculous days with downtown businesses, safety day with the Newton Police Department and New-

ton Fire Department, the Iowa Sculpture Festival, Saturday evening entertainment, Newton Alumni weekend activities, historical presentations at the Jasper County Courthouse and new children’s activities in association with the sculpture festival.

Looking toward next summer, Unsworth said that goals have already been determined for the 2016 event. Among the goals are to grow attendance, expand activities to Sunday, add additional activities along North Second Avenue East to connect Sculpture Fest with downtown activities and expand volunteer opportunities.

Beyond next year, the Newton Fest planning committee hopes to bring a national act whether it be entertainment or an activity such COUNCIL | 3A

In Brief

Farmland drainage to be covered at ISU workshop Thursday AMES — Various aspects of farmland drainage will be the focus of a workshop from 8:15 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Thursday at the Polk County Extension office in Altoona.

“This workshop is being offered due to increased interest in this topic the past year,” said Kapil Arora, field agricultural engineer with Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.

The morning session will focus on sub-surface drainage design concepts, wetland determinations, Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy and long-term benefits of tiling. The afternoon session will include discussions on economics, nutrient cycling in soils, controlled drainage, bioreactors, saturated buffers and managing drainage water quality with wetlands. Legal issues related to tiling and Iowa drainage laws also will be covered.

Attendees will learn information essential to designing and planning a new drainage system or retrofitting an existing system while learning about environmental impacts and new technologies that may be useful in minimizing negative environmental impacts.

Registration between now and Thursday is $60. Workshop materials, morning refreshments and lunch are included in the fee.

Registration can be made by completing the form located at www.extension.iastate.edu/ polk and making payment to Polk County Extension.

For more information, download the workshop brochure or call ISU Extension and Outreach in Polk County at 515-957-5760.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Sandra Hunter looks over a concolor tree on her Christmas tree farm, located between Baxter and Maxwell. Hunter said the amount of work and time commitment needed to run a seasonal tree farm are leading to fewer and fewer farms in the Midwest.

Christmas tree farms becoming more scarce

Maxwell tree farmer, like many, grows pines part-time

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News MAXWELL — A pair of blue spruces seem to oversee one of the two main fields at The Christmas Tree Farm, in sort of a supervisory stance.

However, the farm, located southeast of Maxwell and northwest of Baxter, is supervised by one person. In fact, that same person does a great deal of the year-round work involved in keeping a Christmas tree farm in a state that readies trees for the short window of time when people come out to the farm for fun and tree-harvesting.

Some farmers have extremely short seasons in which to inventory, market and sell their crop.

For farmers who specialize in Christmas trees, such as Sandra Hunter, that time is really, really short.

“There’s really only about four weeks out of the year,” said Sandra Hunter, owner of The Christmas Tree Store, as she examines a fungus-affected area.

“January and February are really the only ‘down’ months, and I plant seedlings in late March, or whenever the ground thaws out.”

The workload and time commitment of running a full Christmas tree farm, combined with a typical small return on the investment, doesn’t leave a huge profit margin for most tree farmers, Hunter said. The small-but-productive business allows her to derive a modest portion of her annual income from tree sales — but there is also the payback in the form of the smiles and wide-eyed happiness of children at Christmastime.

“It’s hard work, but it’s rewarding,” said Hunter, who said she has many Jasper County customers.

Hunter has been working to maintain the livelihood of the farm since the early 1990s. She bought out her ex-husband’s share of the business, and there have been many agricultural trials and tribulations along the way.

“I planted about 750 of those blue spruces over there in the 90s,” she said, gesturing toward what is now a small grove of the large trees. “Now, I only have the really tall ones.”

The drought years of 2012 and 2013 naturally had an impact on the health and color of the trees.

A harsh winter of 2013-14 led to the yellowing of certain species, and a wet, storm-filled summer of 2015 led to fungus proliferation.

Chlorosis — a condition in which leaves don’t produce enough chlorophyll — is a common obstacle for tree farmers.

Overspray for aerially applied pesticides, intended for nearby fields, is also a regular concern.

Deer rubs are the abrasions of tree bark caused by male deer rubbing the velvet off of their new antler growth onto trees during mating season. The process leaves behind a scent that communicates a challenge to other male deer and can attract females, but it can also cause cosmetic damage to trees, along with damaging conditions, such as girdling.

A row of trees called concolors features a variety of trees that are at various stages of their lives.

Some are taller than people and look full and healthy; others look like there is some recovery needed, and others were just planted within the past few years.

Hunter pointed to one tree that was planted last spring, and has yet to show much promise.

“That’s the ugly duckling of 2015,” she said.

Many types of pines are tough to grow in Iowa. The front part of The Christmas Tree Farm property has a small enclosure filled with medium-size pines recently shipped in from North Carolina.

However, many Iowans cherish the ritual of cutting down their own tree and taking it straight back home. That’s what Bob and Anne Buck of Ames did Friday at The Christmas Tree Farm, locating a seven-foot tree they had tagged earlier.

The Bucks have been coming to The Christmas Tree Farm for years, and Hunter recognized them and welcomed them into the farm’s lodge with hugs. She pointed out to them where Santa Claus would be sitting on the following day, greeting small children, next to a decorated tree and across from a larger centerpiece concolor.

It isn’t clear what the future holds for Iowa’s Christmas tree farms — especially acreages run by a generation of family farmers whose children most likely won’t want to take over. Hunter said she’s very grateful for the help that her daughter, Amber Darby, and others provide seasonally, but her daughter has expressed no interest in continuing the business in the decades ahead.

Hunter and other tree farmers can take comfort in knowing they and their predecessors provided many generations with the lasting, glowing memories of going to get the tree each year. The small tree that Hunter placed next to where Santa Claus will sit might not be full or photogenic, but it will help be a part of a magical experience.

“This one will work for Santa,” she said. “This is my Charlie Brown tree.”

AMES — Iowa State University Extension and Outreach will offer the Crop Advantage Series to producers at 14 locations across Iowa during January 2016. The closes to Jasper County will be in Ames on Jan. 13. Each year, ISU Exension and Outreach specialists and field agronomists present the lastest crop production research and information for the upcoming growing season to producers, agronomists and industry leaders.

This year’s Crop Advantage Series will focus on the importance of risk management programs and controlling costs.

“It’s important to discuss these topics as we go into our second year of prices averaging below Iowa State’s estimated production costs,” said Chad Hart, associate professor in economics and extension grain markets specialist. “Profits will be harder to come by and many producers will need to pay more attention to the financial side of their farm business.”

Each location features a full agenda of workshops that attendees can choose from to develop a personalized agenda. ISU Extension and Outreach field agronomists will present program topics focusing on county needs and production issues.

In addition to discussing the economic returns of crop production, extension field agronomists will present program topics focusing on local needs and production issues. Topics will include: crop market outlook, farm bill decisions, corn disease update, corn rootworm management, nitrogen recommendations, managing soybean Sudden Death Syndrome, herbicide and weed control and others.

Early registration for each location is $50 and late registration made less than seven days prior to the meeting or on-site is $60. Registration includes lunch, printed proceedings, private pesticide applicator recertification and CCA credits.

Online registration and additional information is available at www.cropadvantage.org/ or from a local ISU Extension office.

Local News Maytag Continued from Page 1A The total project cost would be more than $7.25 million and would be contingent on the receipt of the tax credits.

The city is committing a TIF grant of $80,000 to the project, along with about $375,000 of property tax rebates — or rebates approximately $25,000 per year for 15 years.

Hubbell was approved by the council last December for a similar proposal involving tax credits, however, in March, Hubbell learned its project was not selected as one of the 13 proposals to receive federal Housing Tax Credit through the IFA, falling short by one point.

“We always welcome large investments like Hubbell is proposing. It is great to have development interests from one of the largest developers in the state, looking to build in our community. Also, doing it in a way that respects the history and builds on the history of these great buildings,” Newton Director of Finance and Development Bryan Friedman said.

Following the same plan as last year, of the 42 units, 11 would have two bedrooms and 31 would be one-bedroom apartments, with a detailed set

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Dec. 8, 2015 | 3A

of resident income requirements as stipulated in the Low/Moderate Income Tax Credit program.

The wage requirements include 26 of the apartments geared toward people with incomes in the 60 percent area of the median which is approximately $27,400 per year for a single person, up from $26,100 in the earlier proposal. That amount increases to $39,180 for a four-person household, up from $37,260 last year.

Not including utilities, the projected rent would range from $595 to $654 for a one bedroom and $710 to $771 for the two bedroom apartments. Seven units would be for incomes in the 40 percent area of the median and three units in the 30 percent area of the median. The remaining six apartments would not have an income restriction and would be rented at market rates.

“A year ago the NHDC (Newton Housing Development Corporation) posted on its Facebook page a picture of the lofts and background of the project. I asked for responses from the community to see where people were and I would say that every single person that commented back was positive,” NHDC Coordinator Amanda Price. “I had quite a few young professionals who said that they would love to live in a space like this, and

Addressing low-income, affordable housing issues To better explain the housing need within the city, and how Hubbell hopes to be a part of the solution, Saddoris and Friedman gave examples and statistics about where Newton is sitting and who they hope to attract to the Newton Factory Lofts.

In a Community Housing Assessment Team Study done by the city in 2011, findings showed that renter occupied housing increased by 3 percent from 2000 to 2010. It also showed that 32.86 percent of Newton’s households had an income between $25,000 and $49,999, 4 percent higher

than the next largest group who had incomes ranging from $0 to $24,000 and 9 percent higher than the next income bracket of $50,000 to $74,999 at 23.96 percent.

Saddoris confirmed those finding with a market study completed by IFA earlier this year that showed of the 3,804 renter households in Newton, the median income was $31,000, with 55 percent of those renter households earning below $35,000.

“Thirty years in this business, I can say that almost all of the residents are always working. We have a lot of

entry level kids coming right out of college that don’t necessarily make enough, but to have their first apartment,” Saddoris said. “It does allow students who are part-time, people that are going back to school.”

“I think it is part of our continuing efforts to raise the quantity and quality of rental available. We know that it is a need in our community, we know that these people are us,” Friedman said. “This isn’t intended to do anything other than provide better housing for the people in our community and want to live here.”

it is something that is lacking in the community in that income level.”

The previous proposal had the city committing $250,000 of TIF grant money to the project upon completion of construction. The previous development agreement automatically expired on June 30 as a formal Final Development Agreement had not been approved by Hubbell and the city.

“I was approached before this meeting about changing the historic building to housing, and I think people have a lot of emotions surrounding this

beautiful building. There hasn’t been any interest in developing from a private business or any other entity,” Council Member Noreen Otto said. “As we sit here another year has passed and these buildings have sat empty and unused, so I appreciate Hubbell coming back and taking a second crack at this.”

If the deal goes through, the proposed incentives would be partially off-set by a reduction to incentives the city had already committed to in 2012 with Newton Enterprises. In that agreement, the city committed to rebate the property

taxes above a certain threshold for 15 years.

The two buildings were assessed at $240,000 and should they be sold to Hubbell, they would not longer be subject to the Newton Enterprise rebates, reducing the payments by approximately $8,000 per year.

Overall, the total cost to the city is $455,000, down $125,000 from the last proposal at $580,000.

“If that were to occur, then postings for replacements for these teachers will follow our normal procedures,” Callaghan said.

Callaghan said the preferences are not dependent upon state funding, since the teachers already work for the district.

In addition to regular classroom teachers, specialists and music, art and P.E. teachers were also given surveys and met with principals late last month.

“Besides the core grade level teachers, the counselors, ‘specials’ teachers (music, art, P.E., LMC),Title 1 teachers, and the special-ed teachers are also affected,” Callaghan said.

There are currently about 22 classrooms at Thomas Jefferson Elementary School, where preschool will be housed in 2016-17. There are 16 classrooms at both Emerson Hough, which is re-opening as a regular elementary school, and at Woodrow Wilson.

There are an odd number of classrooms —15 — at Aurora Heights, which will require some creative space usage in order to have exact similarities with the other three K-4 schools.

There are about 22 classrooms in the nonmiddle-school half of the Berg complex.

as the Color Run. They hope, in time, that Newton Fest becomes a regional attraction and brings people to Newton from across the Midwest.

“We want to put Newton on the map with Newton Fest,” Unsworth said.

Also discussed during the meeting was stakeholder funding in the coming year. At a meeting on Nov. 23, four of the city’s stakeholders, the Newton Development Corporation, Newton Housing Development Corporation, Convention and Visitors Bureau and Newton Main Street presented to the council the work they have done during the past year and funding requests for the upcoming budget.

Discussion began with NDC, where the council agreed that additional funding requested for the corporation would be appropriate, citing the new cost of rent in the coming year. The breakdown of funding has the corporation asked for is $42,500 for July 1, 2016 through Dec. 31, 2016 and $85,000 for the 2017 calendar year.

Council did note that NDC Director Frank Liebl updated their information regarding the estimated cost of rent, saying the projected numbers where higher than what actual bids were coming in.

Next, the NHDC request of employing an additional full-time employee was met with hesitation by the council. Although the council supports the projects and ideas that NHDC has, it would like to discuss the structure of NHDC before allotting additional money for the position.

“I think there is a lot going on and a few things in transition with NHDC including the First Avenue Project, the application for the CDBG grant and the changing and transforming of the grants for grads program which

has not been fully utilized,” council member Noreen Otto said.

The council did decide to decrease funding for the CVB by $40,000 to $110,000. The CVB originally requested the cap be lifted off of the $150,000 limit the organization received from hotel tax money.

“I think the CVB needs to adopt the Get to Know Newton logo, template and messaging and be at the same table for the marketing plans,” council member Evelyn George said.

“We are all promoting the community and Newton to inside and outside audiences, we need a greater bang for the resources that we have.”

Overall, the council wanted more collaboration between the city and CVB, whether it be with the branding effort or sharing statistical information about those coming to the Newton or show interest in the community.

Finally, Newton Main Street has a three year contract with the city for $25,000 in funding. The agreement was made as a part of the initial introduction of the organization to the

Keeping Me on My Toes

For the moms

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Dec. 8, 2015

Mommy guilt — a subject that I think about a lot. I am, by nature, a worrier and maybe more anxious than the average person.

But the subject that takes up most of the time in my mind are my kids and the never-ending question of “am I doing enough?”

In a world now with Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat, we get to see everything that everyone is doing. It is amazing technology that makes my relatives in Michigan not seem so far away, but it also leaves me feeling inadequate and struggling to keep up.

It typically starts with the idea that I send my kids to a babysittter while I go to work. I have read hundreds of blogs, articles and books telling me it is OK they are away from me and that it is actually good for them to interact with other adults and kids.

It never fails, though, every day when I am dropping them off that I get the twinge that I should be home with them, I should be taking care of them and what

kind of parent am I to be away from them? The idea of having it all as a woman is both exciting and terrifying.

It continues with the overwhelming guilt of doing anything for myself — when I think money or time should be spent on my children. I should preface this: my kids have a lot of stuff. There isn’t a time I walk out of Target without something new for them, whether it be clothes, books or toys. My kids live a very comfortable and happy life with more than enough food and entertainment at their fingertips.

But I always think, could I or should I be doing more? Every night should I spent every moment with them instead of trying to catch up on a show and letting them play with each other?

Should I always be down on the floor, building blocks and putting together puzzles?

Then the fear of being too overprotective comes in, and I worry that my kids won’t be able to adjust when they have to go

to school or be with other people. Should I give them more space and make them figure out things on their own? Is it building patience and understanding for how the world works to make them wait and discover activities on their own rather than me constantly being involved?

As my kids are getting older, I worry about making sure they are involved, but not too involved.

How many activities should we be participating in. How much time away from home is too much?

Having two girls, I worry about them fitting in, making friends and having school be a positive experience. I know things have not gotten any easier since I was in school, and the constant worry that they are unhappy or they are struggling, mainly socially, always stays in the back of my mind.

Now, I know I am not going to be the parent that is there for everything. I learned after having two kids within a year and a half of each other that I need some

me time, even if it does come with a slight twinge of guilt.

There will always be guilt when I tell my kids I don’t have the time to play whatever game they are playing at the time, whether it be because I am trying to clean and keep up on household chores (which are often lagging behind) or if it is just because I want to sit and talk with my husband.

A lot of these emotions come up as the fall season winds down.

We have a particularly busy fall with football games, craft shows and work. We lean on family members to help us out a lot, which can lead me to feeling inadequate as a parent.

So to all parents out there, not just moms, know that if you get plagued by mommy guilt like me, you are not alone and chances are, you are probably doing a great job.

In fact, the district offers a wide range of retail goods: bikes, jewelry, women’s and children’s clothing, new and used books, beauty supplies, arts and crafts, gifts, computers, televisions, appliances, musical instruments, home furnishings, office supplies and equipment, DVDs, cell phones, yarn and spinning supplies, board games, sports collectibles and more.

I hear often, in my position as executive director of the Newton Main Street program, complaints about the lack of retail in the district. The solution, most often, is that we need to recruit more retailers. More recruitment is needed, but the best recruitment tool is

having successful businesses operating in the district.

To date, Main Street has devoted its attention to doing what we can to make sure existing retailers stick around. We also focus on assisting retailers with identifying opportunities for expansion — encouraging existing retailers to sell products residents are leaving the district and Newton to buy — and facilitating such expansions.

Online retailing presents an opportunity for expansion and a significant challenge. Online retailing is growing steadily, but accounted for just more than 6 percent of total retail sales in the U.S. in fiscal year 2014, according to Iowa State University’s Retail Trade Analysis Report for Newton.

Our recent market analysis project found that of the top 10 most purchased items on the Internet in the past three months

by Newton consumers, many are available in the district: women’s clothing, gifts, books, electronics, sporting goods, children’s clothing, hobbies and crafts, home furnishings and beauty supplies.

Why is this important? Let’s say you buy a book at Mattingly Music & Books for $15. Approximately 35 percent, or $5.25, stays in the community. If you buy the same book on Amazon, apparently not even sales tax stays in the state.

Each dollar spent at a district retailer typically results in be-

tween $0.25 and $0.40 of additional economic activity in the community (the rest of the dollar pays the wholesaler, transporter and manufacturer).

There is competition in town, too. Our market analysis estimated that residents who live within a five-minute drive of the district (about a mile) spent more than $21 million at retailers located outside of the five-minute drive time radius.

But within a 10-minute drive time, there is an estimated $50.5 million surplus. This means there is significant activity, likely led by a big box retailer, located just outside of the downtown sucking up a lot of the community’s retail dollars, but also (in fairness) bringing in money from beyond.

Of course, district retailers also face regional competition, with Des Moines to the west and other small regional shopping centers to the north, south and east.

Our market analysis estimated that residents who live within a 20-minute drive time of the district spent more than $23 million dollars on retail goods at businesses located outside of the 20-minute drive-time radius.

So in closing, I will share with you what some wise person said long ago — a bit of wisdom that holds true through the ages: “You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy local and that’s kind of the same thing.”

There is no truth to the rumor that Donald Trump will fly to San B e r nardino and mock t h e corpses of dead d i s abled p e o ple, al- By Marc Dion though I’m sure he thinks they died funny.

So, right away, there’s one thing you won’t be getting out of this mass shooting.

But wait, as they say on television. You can still enjoy this or any other mass shooting as long as you’re totally, insanely dedicated to either the liberal or the conservative point of view. It’s a fun game, and it’s easy to score.

When there’s a mass shooting, ask yourself who did it and why.

If there’s a mass shooting in New York and the perpetrators are jihadists named Abdul, Muhammad and Ali, and you’re a conservative, you win because it proves the biggest thing this country has to worry about is foreigners with bombs or guns.

If there’s a mass shooting in Oregon and the shooter is a pasty white guy all hopped up on the Book of Revelations and Fox News, and you’re a liberal, you win because it proves that nothing is more dangerous than right-wing redneck with a Bible and a gun.

If the guns used in either shooting were obtained illegally, everybody wins. Conservatives can say gun laws don’t work and liberals can say guns should be banned. If the guns were obtained legally, conservatives can say “oops!” and liberals can say guns should be banned because even the legal ones kill people. Surprisingly, “oops” is worth as many

points as anything else you can say.

Bombs are much more of a ref ’s call. If there’s a bombing and a buncha people die, liberals can go directly to the candlelight vigil. Conservatives clearly win in this scenario because if a killer uses a homemade bomb, they can point out that fertilizer and pressure cookers are both “perfectly legal,” which proves gun control won’t keep Abu Bakr and the boys from killing people.

Any mass shooting stopped by an armed civilian is a sudden death win for Conservatives.

Any mass shooting at a Planned Parenthood clinic is a win for liberals because not enough conservatives rejoice openly when an abortion mill gets shot to pieces.

Tip for the Conservative Team: After a shooting at a Planned Parenthood facility, have your cheerleaders take the field and chant, “THOSE SLUTS DESERVED IT!” This ain’t a subtle game.

That’s why you also get points by bringing Hitler into any argument, something that works for both liberals and conservatives.

More generalized vocabulary gets you points, too. Conservatives should load their vocabulary with military words and phrases like “soft target,” “full metal jacket” and “perimeter.”

Liberals can respond by changing the profile picture on their Facebook pages and demanding grief counseling for everyone.

There was another mass shooting in America. Did you win? If you didn’t, don’t worry.

We’re gonna play again tomorrow.

Rachel’s Mother had bought a small cup and saucer in Colorado that Rachel had always admired and that interest started her own collection of Colorado pottery. In 1981, there was a Rocky Mountain Pottery factory west of Loveland, Colo., that sold pine cone decorated and pine scented pottery before closing in 1988.

Some of the pottery was “wood grained” pottery which was very attractive. Rachel shared her pottery collection with the group.

Daughter’s changing gender identity baffles her family DEAR ABBY: A good friend of mine recently found out his daughter, “Rhonda” (who is over 18), feels she should have been born a boy. “Ronnie” is now living life as a man and plans to change genders completely.

To say the least, my friend and his wife are finding it difficult to deal with.

He doesn’t understand why she can’t just be gay, which he would be fine with. I want to give them emotional support while at the same time supporting Ronnie, but I’m having a hard time relating to their feelings.

Could you provide some resources for them, such as organizations that help families deal with gender changing and all that it entails? — WANTS TO BE SUPPORTIVE DEAR WANTS TO BE SUPPORTIVE: I know an excellent LGBT organization that has been mentioned before in my column. It’s called Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG).

The largest increase in new individuals reaching out to PFLAG is now among trans people and their family members.

Ronnie can’t “just be gay” because the issue isn’t sexual orientation; it is Ronnie’s GENDER IDENTITY. PFLAG can help to explain this to Ronnie’s father, and he should visit pflag.org for guidance.

DEAR ABBY: I have been with “John” for 18 years. We married while he was in prison. I know I have outgrown him, but I’m scared to say it’s over in case I realize later that we should be together. Over the years, we have both cheated and hurt each other.

I don’t know exactly what I am holding onto with him. There doesn’t seem to be anyone else out there to choose from, so maybe I should stay.

I’m not afraid to be alone, but I am confused. I am suffering from depression over this. Please help. — STUCK IN DES MOINES DEAR STUCK: If the only reason you haven’t left John is that there’s no one else around to choose from,

it’s understandable that you would be depressed. The status quo isn’t fair for you or your husband.

As I see it, you have two choices: Fix your marriage or leave. Of course, the better option would be for you and John to have counseling to see if your love can be revived. However, if it doesn’t work, then it might be better for you both to separate. The reason there is no one else out there right now may be that you are unavailable.

DEAR ABBY: Call me ungrateful, but I am very uncomfortable receiving gifts. How can I get longtime friends to stop bringing hostess gifts when I invite them over? I don’t need anything, and I resent feeling I am obligated to take something to them, too.

Why do women do this and men not feel so compelled? I have tried remarking, “The present of your ‘presence’ is present enough,” but it continues. I need your help. — UNGRACIOUS IN FLORIDA DEAR UNGRACIOUS: Women usually bring hostess gifts because they were raised to believe it is the gracious thing to do. (“Don’t come empty-handed.”) Since “remarking” hasn’t gotten your message across, you will have to be more direct with your friends. TELL them that when they visit, you would prefer they bring only themselves and nothing more. Then explain that you are at a point where you have enough “things” and do not need or want any more.

More than 100 children in St. Nick’s Christmas Club program remain un-adopted Deadline to adopt is Friday

By Jessica Lowe Special to Newton Daily News As of early Tuesday, 153 children remained available for adoption through the St. Nick’s Christmas Club program.

Members of St. Nick’s Christmas Club are seeking support for the final 53 families who remain un-adopted. The deadline to adopt families is Friday with all items needing to be turned in for inventory by Dec. 14.

Distribution of gifts and food is set for Dec. 18.

“Adoptions and donations are the biggest needs,” said Kathy Doyle, who helped found the club 27 years ago.

St. Nick’s Christmas Club, which helps provide families in need with Christmas gifts and a food each holiday season, accepted applications for nearly 600 Jasper County. The club works throughout the year to raise money and depends largely on donations to cover the cost of food for each of the more than 200 families, and buying gifts for any children who do not get adopted.

“We are going to be in trouble (financially)

if more families do not get adopted,” Doyle said. “The club will have to purchase gifts for any children who are left in the adoption book next week.”

Club organizers are encouraging people to adopt a family from the adoption book located at the Newton Daily News office. Those adopting a family must provide each child new socks, underwear, pants and a shirt, along with a toy or other item from their wish list. Items purchased can be taken to St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church through Dec. 11.

For those who do not want to shop but would like to contribute, St. Nick’s is accepting monetary donations. A Go Fund Me page has been made to help support the club’s efforts.

Or those wishing to mail a tax-deductible donation can do so by sending checks payable to St. Nick’s Christmas Club to P.O. Box 162, Newton, Iowa 50208.

“Adopting and/or donating are always helpful. Spreading the word about us always helps, too,” Doyle said.

“It’s all important because we want all children to have a Merry Christmas.”

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.

America’s favorite Tupperware lady brings new show to Des Moines

By Jessica Lowe Special to Newton Daily News For those looking for a way to brighten their holidays, look no further than Temple Theater in Des Moines.

America’s favorite Tupperware lady Dixie Longate returns for an all new show beginning today. “Dixie’s Never Wear A Tube Top and 16 Other Things I Learned While Drinking Last Thursday” features Longate sharing insightful life lessons.

“I’ll be sharing all different lessons learned through the bottom of a Jack bottle,” said Longate through a thick Southern accent. “There are some good life lessons I’ll be sharing. They will help pick people up, improve the quality

of life by making them smile more.”

Longate said for those stressing over the holiday season to stop worrying, grab the family and head to the show.

“People can come and I’ll put a big ol’ smile on their faces when life is so hectic,” she said. “I want people to leave feeling a little more empowered.

People forget they’re allowed to take care of themselves.”

Many know Longate from the popular “Dixie’s Tupperware Party” which played to sold out shows in Des Moines in 2008, 2010 and 2013.

Audience members now can enjoy a second show developed by Longate with less Tupperware but the same fire cracker wit and fast-talking stage bravado the know and

love.

“The very first show I did, I launched in 2008 in Des Moines,” she said.

“With being there three times people will come back two, three, four times during a run and say ‘I came last week but my friend couldn’t come so I brought her back’ or they’ll just come back because they had a great time or needed a new piece of Tupperware.”

The star of “Dixie’s Never Wear a Tube Top” said she’s looking forward to her return to Des Moines because of how wonderful everyone is in Iowa.

“Des Moines has some of the greatest restaurants, I love that videogame bar, and people will just walk up and say ‘Hey Dixie, good to see you,’” she said.

Submitted Photo The employees of Newton Health Care Center collected 326 items during the month long Can Drive in November. There was a friendly competition among a couple of teams. Overall, both teams were winners as they collected several items for The Salvation Army. The Health Care Center thanks all who participated in this great cause.

The Newton AKTION Club is celebrating the holiday season by collecting non-perishable food items for the local Salvation Army Food Pantry.

Members of the AKTION Club have set a goal to collect more than 100 items this year to reciprocate the generosity that has been extended to each of them from the Newton community. All items collected will be delivered to the Salvation Army after its annual Christmas Party from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at Progress Industries.

To help the group reach their goal, you may drop off non-perishable food items at the Progress Industries main office located at 1017 E. Seventh St. N. in Newton.

Mustang girls can’t overcome slow start

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — Pella Christian’s girls basketball team came into Monday’s non-conference game against Prairie City-Monroe with five made 3-pointers in two games.

After the first quarter against the Mustangs, Brooke Mitrisin buried three from long range and those buckets were part of an early barrage by the Eagles, and that lead was too much to overcome.

Mitrisin buried six 3-pointers in the game and finished with 22 points to give Pella Christian a 52-40 road win. It was the first victory of the year for Pella Christian (1-2).

“I didn’t expect that,” PCM coach Jeff Lindsay said about the 3-pointers. “We were late rotating though.

We weren’t keeping them in front of us. They had the opportunity to drive on us, and that gave them a lot of options offensively. We just didn’t do a good job of slowing them down.”

The Eagles led 19-5 after one quarter. Junior Katie Vande Wall did all she could to keep the game close in the second quarter.

All nine of her points in the first half came from the free-throw line and eight of those were in a second quarter that saw the Mustangs (4-2) close the gap to 28-19 at halftime.

Vande Wall finished with 16 points and 15 rebounds in the loss.

Four-point play changes momentum in PCM’s loss to rival Pella Christian

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe junior Sheldon Speers, right, searches for an opening against Pella Christian’s Levi Jungling in Monroe on Monday night. Jungling had 21 points to lead the Eagles to a 72-51 win over the Mustangs.

MONROE — Prairie City-Monroe’s Mustangs had weathered another slow start. They rallied from an 8-2 deficit and tied the game at 13-all following a pair of free throws by Logan Gilman.

Then, Pella Christian’s Mitch Fopma dialed up a 3-pointer, was fouled and converted a free throw. That fourpoint play turned the momentum back to the Eagles, and Pella Christian never looked back in a 72-51 win over PCM. The momentum from Fopma’s long ball carried into the second quarter as the Eagles outscored the Mustangs 24-10 in

the frame and led by 18 at the break. Fopma hit three 3-pointers, made all five of his free throw attempts and scored 20 points as the Eagles improved to 4-0 on the season.

“They are hard to guard. They can drive it, too. They played well and shot it well,” PCM coach Fred Lorensen said. “It wasn’t much fun tonight. The kids played hard. As bad as it seemed, the second half was only a three-point game. The first quarter was even until the 4-point play.”

Pella Christian outscored PCM 31-28 in the second half. The second quarter advantage was the difference in the game. The Eagles

used a 14-2 run to gain a big advantage. That was enough to keep the Mustangs at bay the rest of the way.

“We stopped making baskets. When you play someone like Pella Christian you better make some shots because they are going to,” Lorensen said. “The second quarter was the difference. They scored more than 20, and we had seven until a late 3-pointer. You just can’t have droughts like that against a good team.

They’ll keep making baskets.”

The Mustangs are still searching for a third option behind Gilman and Luke Greiner.

Iowa faces Stanford in Rose Bowl PASADENA, Calif. (AP) — Iowa and Stanford barely missed out on the College Football Playoff.

The Rose Bowl is a pretty great place to forget your sorrows.

The Hawkeyes (12-1, No. 5 CFP) will face the Cardinal (11-2, No. 6 CFP) on Jan. 1 in the 102nd edition of the Granddaddy of Them All, Rose Bowl officials announced Sunday.

Iowa and Stanford finished in the final two rankings spots outside the fourteam playoff, yet they earned coveted spots in the traditional year-end intersectional matchup between the Big Ten and Pac-12 powers.

“If this is the consolation prize, what a deal it is for both of us,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said.

Even though the Hawkeyes lost their unbeaten season and the Big Ten title game to Michigan State on a late touchdown Saturday night, they still held off Ohio State to earn their first trip to Pasadena since Jan.

1, 1991. Ferentz will cap his 17th season at Iowa with his first Rose Bowl appearance as a head coach.

“This news is good medicine, I think, for all of us, just to ease the tough outcome,” said Ferentz, the offensive line coach on two Rose Bowl teams at Iowa in the 1980s.

While the Hawkeyes hadn’t made the Rose Bowl in a generation, Pasadena has become a second home for Stanford coach David Shaw’s improbable Bay Area powerhouse.

The Cardinal earned their third Rose Bowl berth in four years by beating Southern California 41-22 in the Pac12 title game on Saturday night. Stanford beat Wisconsin three years ago to earn its first Rose Bowl victory since the 1971 season, but lost to Michigan State two years ago.

“We too are excited about going back to Pasadena,” Shaw said.

“The Rose Bowl people have been phenomenal the times that we’ve gone. That’s

a rare occurrence nowadays, but we’re looking forward to the week, looking forward to a great game.”

Stanford also had hopes of a playoff spot after finishing the season with big wins over Notre Dame and USC, but conference title game victories by Clemson and Alabama consigned the Cardinal to Pasadena.

Although both football programs date to the 19th century, Iowa and Stanford have never faced each other.

Shaw and Ferentz have only a passing acquaintance, but both coaches have watched the other’s program occasionally through the season.

“I loved what Iowa did during the course of this year as being one of those under-the-radar teams that kept winning ... and finally people started to notice the phenomenal job that was going on,” Shaw said. “I love well-coached teams that fight and scrap and eventually get what they deserve.”

This & That

Grandon transitioning well as new CMB athletic director Chad Grandon has been on the job as the middle school/ high school athletic director at Collins-Maxwell since the middle of July.

While the new role has been challenging, so far, it’s been an enjoyable experience for Grandon, who also is the elementary principal in the Collins-Maxwell school district.

“You just have to find the right balance and figure out the time By Troy Hyde a p p r o p r i a t e Newton Daily News for working Sports Writer on things that need to be covered,” Grandon said. “I am still learning the ropes. It’s been a fun process though.”

Sports is one of Grandon’s passions. He was a high school and collegiate athlete. He began his administrative career at Collins-Maxwell last year when he became the elementary principal.

When the Collins-Maxwell athletic director job opened up, Grandon thought it was time to get his feet wet and see if the role was something he was interested in long term.

“I looked at being an AD when I first started looking at administration and wanted to see if there was an opportunity,” Grandon said. “I love the managing side of it, but I didn’t pursue it at first.

“This position opened up late so it was an opportunity for me to get my feet wet and see if it’s another direction I could go eventually. I do love having the elementary piece to the job though.”

Athletics at CMB is unlike any other school. Several communities across the state are consolidated communities, but very few, if any, have an athletic program that involves student-athletes from two different high schools.

There has been a lot of discussions from both school districts — Collins-Maxwell and Baxter — about which direction the two schools should go.

They may end up combining the school districts into one and move forward with whole grade sharing.

It may stay the way it is now and has been for the past 25plus years.

The districts have even looked into options with other districts.

For now, the two schools will stay the course as both school boards agreed to extend the athletic sharing agreement two more years earlier this fall.

This unusual dynamic adds another piece to Grandon’s job, and another challenge.

“It’s been good, and (Baxter Athletic Director) Lori (Fricke) has been great,” said Grandon, who replaced former C-M Athletic Director Henry Haupert. “She’s always quick to answer any questions I have.”

To top it off, Grandon grabs the responsibility of bringing back a boys soccer program to CMB. He will be the head coach beginning this spring.

Fricke and Grandon split up duties for CMB athletics.

Grandon’s main responsibilities rest with volleyball, softball, soccer, wrestling and golf.

“She is full of energy. She’ll work her tail off from one end of the floor to the other. She’ll get after it, and I appreciate that a lot,” Lindsay said.

“Every team needs someone like Katie.”

No other PCM player finished with more than eight points. It was another tough night at that end of the floor for the Mustangs, who are averaging only 42 points per game through the first six games. PCM committed 22 turnovers.

“Their defense caused a lot of what we did. We just weren’t very smooth offensively,” Lindsay said. “They came out of the gate early and took us out of what we wanted to do, and we didn’t adjust very well.”

Mitrisin hit another trey early in the third quarter to push the lead back to double digits. The Eagles scored five of the final seven points of the third to lead by 12 after three.

A fast start to the final frame pushed the Eagle advantage to 17 but an 8-0 run later in the quarter cuts the deficit back to single digits. Jayci Vos hit back-to-back buckets during that stretch and finished with eight points, three steals and three rebounds in the game.

Unfortunately for the Mustangs, eight was as close as they got the rest of the way.

Gilman finished with 19 points and eight rebounds. Greiner added 15 points and seven boards.

Junior Mark Bruxvoort has taken steps to become that third option. Monday, he scored nine points and corralled six rebounds but fouled out with 5:18 to play in the game.

The Eagles’ zone defense forced the Mustangs to make shots from outside. That just hasn’t been one of PCM’s strengths yet.

“If you look at our stats, no one has proven they can shoot it from out there,” Lorensen said.

“I would do the same thing to us, too. We need have some guys step up and make some baskets for us.

“We haven’t seen much zone, and we haven’t worked much against the zone in practice. I am not sure how magical the zone was, but we didn’t handle it very well. It’s early, and we have things we need to work on.”

The Mustangs return to action at 7:30 p.m.

Rose Bowl Continued from Page 1B Here are some more things to know about the Rose Bowl matchup: Stanford Showcase Cardinal running back Christian McCaffrey will cap his incredible season with his first appearance in the Rose Bowl game. The 19-yearold sophomore has gained more yards in a season than anybody in the history of college football, breaking Barry Sanders’ record while racking up 461 total yards against the Trojans.

Tradition Reigns The Rose Bowl prefers a traditional intersectional matchup between the Big Ten and the Pac-12, but college football’s shifting postseason landscape has interrupted that tradition six times this century.

Strength on Strength While McCaffrey has spent the season running wild behind Stanford’s imposing offensive line, Iowa also has a vaunted running game built around four ball-carriers: Jordan Canzeri, LeShun Daniels Jr., Derrick Mitchell Jr. and Akrum Wadley.

Long Time Coming Although it took 25 years for Iowa to get back to Pasadena, it’s been even longer since the Hawkeyes could celebrate a victory. They haven’t won the Rose Bowl since Jan. 1, 1959, when the Big Ten champions led by halfback Bob Jeter and coach Forest Evashevski beat California and were named national champions by the Football Writers Association of America. Famed coach Hayden Fry never won the Rose Bowl, losing each of his three Big Ten championship teams’ trips to Pasadena before Ferentz replaced him in 1999.

Frequent Visitors The Pac-12 has sent just three different teams to the Rose Bowl in the past 13 years: USC, Oregon and Stanford, which is making its 15th Rose Bowl appearance. The school hadn’t made three Rose Bowl trips in four years since 1933-35, when Stanford played in three straight.

Iowa is the seventh different Big Ten team to play in Pasadena in the past 13 years, with Wisconsin and Michigan making three appearances apiece.

beautiful environment and July will help you pay for all of that. Aries and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 14, 3, 39 and 13.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

It won’t be enough for you to know a person’s name.

You’ll want to also know that person’s story. And if a person can’t deliver you said “story,” you’ll respect that person all the more -- a clean slate.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The Internet tells you to spoil the one you adore with hugs and kisses -- not bad advice, though much depends on timing. You’re playing a sophisti-

cated game. One answer does not fit all.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The Bible suggests that we are dust and will return to it. Joni Mitchell echoed the sentiments when she sang, “We are star dust. We are golden.” You’ll feel the profundity of those words today.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

There is a person who depends on you. This is real and important. Be all you can be to that person today. This is one of many days in a chapter of time, and yet it is the only day we can do something about.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Maybe you don’t even know how you got into it, but boy, you are in

CALL FOR DETAILS. CALL 641-792-5320 TODAY! it now. Are you ever. For a lot of the day you’ll wonder how to get out of it. The expression that rules after that: Good riddance.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). I takes a long time to be a master. That’s why the masters are exonerated. You’ll praise one today without knowing how your praise will land. Truly, it will mean more than the master lets on.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

When someone makes an effort, you encourage. Words help; actions speak louder.

You’ve a good idea about the action you should take, so go for it: You are always on the ready to make things better for you and yours.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You attract good friends; there’s no question about that.

Do they measure up to the standards that others set for you? Maybe not. Are those people in a position to set your standards? Maybe not.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It’s fine if you don’t make sense. In fact, stop. Then realize: No one makes sense all of the time. Your nonsense will have a certain genius to it today.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Playing the game -- that’s where the fun is for you. The score only matters in as much as it’s a marker for who gets to play and who doesn’t.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Art is not science. As much as one tries to measure it and weigh it and make sense of it, it can never work on a logical scale. And neither can a certain relationship you have that is prettying up the walls of your life.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’ll use all of the tools available to you to connect with like minds. This will accentuate your tendencies. By finding kindred spirits, you’ll feed the person you are.
