New vet memorial sparks courthouse

parking debateBy Ty Rushing

Daily News Senior Staff Writer

Although the Jasper County Veteran Memorial was dedicated last month, issues of miscommunication on the project came to the forefront at Tuesday’s Jasper County Board of Supervisors meeting.

Doug Bishop, county treasurer and chair of the committee that built the memorial, came to the board to update them on several measures pertaining to the complex when the issue of creating limited parking on the east side of the courthouse — where the complex is situated — arose.

Bishop, who was accompanied by a dozen county veterans that represented organiza-tions ranging from the American Legion on up to the World War II Last Man Stand-ing club, asked the board to consider creat-ing limited parking on the east side of the courthouse to maintain the “reverence” of the memorials.

The parking area between the rock and the walls is currently used by several county offices for everything between maintenance to taking inmates to court.

“Fella, it’s bigger than just saying that ‘no one can park here.’ We have to define what limited is and those types of things. It’s not really as simple as just not parking because you can’t get a picture taken,” Jasper County Auditor Dennis Parrott said.

As Jasper County’s auditor, one of Par-rott’s responsibilities is the aesthetic appeal of the courthouse. He said he foresaw this becoming an issue and has been taking pic-tures chronicling parking issues.

Parrott suggested that the board, himself

United Way of Jasper County names new executive director

Newton Daily News

The United Way of Jasper County will have a new face beginning Sept. 3. Jessica Lowe, of Newton, has been named the in-coming Executive Director at the United Way.

“I am excited about the opportunity to be a part of the United Way of Jasper County,” Lowe said. “The job allows me to continue to work with nonprofits and to have an impact on lives throughout the county.”

Lowe has served as the Marketing and Membership Direc-tor at the YMCA since April 2010. Prior to joining the YMCA, she was a staff reporter and niche publications editor at the Newton Daily News for nearly five years. Lowe will replace longtime United Way Executive Di-rector Travis Padget. Padget’s last day is Sept. 12, and he has accepted a position with Ed-ward Jones Investments.

“Travis has done amazing things at the United Way and has left big shoes to fill,” Lowe said. “As executive director, Travis has increased giving, helped facilitate the pur-chase of a new building and permanent home

School district updating more policies in response to LaVera

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

The fallout from a California man’s visits to several Newton schools con-tinues to affect policymaking within the Newton Community School Dis-trict.

David LaVera visited Berg Middle School, Aurora Heights Elementary School and attended an out of school pool party between late May and ear-ly July. While at the schools, LaVera signed autographs as “Twilight” actor Kiowa Gordan and even gave a stunt performance at the BMS gym.

Since those appearances at the schools, LaVera has been charged by law enforcement officials with entic-ing a minor, attempting to entice a mi-

nor, two counts of invasion of privacy and two counts of sexual exploitation of a minor among other charges.

The NCSD Board of Education has been proactive in researching its policies since his initial charges were announced on June 10. It updated its visitors policy at its first meeting in August after two months of research, and at Monday’s meeting, the board adopted a new school visitors proce-dures/volunteers in schools handbook.

“The issue here, is about the safety of other children who are not under your care or guardianship or are not your biological child … it’s a fine line,” said Superintendent Bob Callaghan.

Ty Rushing/Daily NewsA debate between elected officials rang out at Tuesday’s Jasper County Board of Supervisors meetings over parking on the east side of the courthouse near the new Jasper County Veterans Memorial Complex.

Jasper County, Newton close to being Skilled Iowa Communities

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

Both Jasper County and the City of Newton are only 80 people away from becoming two of the largest Skilled Iowa Communities in the state of Iowa.

Craig Immerfall, of Iowa Workforce Devel-opment, presented this information the Jasper County Board of Super-visors during Tuesday’s

meeting, with the board later approving a resolu-tion to participate in the program.

There are currently nine Skilled Iowa Com-munities present in the state.

“What the Skilled Community is, is one piece of a larger ini-tiative called Skilled Iowa. Skilled Iowa is an economic development initiative for the state of Iowa as a whole,” Im-

merfall said.The purposed of

Skilled Iowa is to solve the lack of middle skill workers available in the workforce. One way of combating this is offer-ing up the free National Career Readiness As-sessment test. The test would then give a cer-tification of bronze, sil-ver, gold and platinum,

Farmers’ Almanac predicts another nasty winterLEWISTON, Maine

(AP) — The folks at the Farmers’ Almanac can be forgiven for feeling smug: The 198-year-old publication cor-rectly predicted the past nasty winter while fed-eral forecasters blew it.

Memories of the po-lar vortex and relent-less snowstorms won’t soon be forgotten. And the editors of the pub-lication are predicting more of the same for the coming season.

“Shivery and shov-elry are back. We’re calling for some frigid conditions, bitter con-ditions,” said managing editor Sandi Duncan.

The latest edition, which officially goes on sale this week, forecasts co lde r - than-norma l and wetter-than-usual weather for three-quar-ters of the country east of the Rocky Moun-tains. Drought-stricken California, along with the Pacific Northwest,

will see normal precipi-tation and cool temper-atures this winter, the almanac said.

The publication, not to be confused with the New Hampshire-based Old Farmer’s Alma-nac, uses a secret for-mula based on sunspots, planetary positions and lunar cycles for its long-range weather forecasts.

Modern science doesn’t put much stock in the formula.

But even modern

meteorologists can stumble on long-term forecasts. The nation-al Climate Prediction Center forecast a strong likelihood of above-normal temperatures from last November through January.

The almanac also contains gardening tips, trivia, jokes and natural remedies, like catnip as a pain reliever or elder-berry syrup as an im-mune booster, in this year’s edition.

In addition to the transition of a new executive director, the United Way’s annual campaign kick-off will be on Sept. 4, with a campaign goal of $363,000.

“It is exciting to jump right into the campaign,” Lowe said.

“It will be great to work side by side with Travis as the campaign gets underway and to meet all the campaign volunteers and staff of the partner agencies. I have so many ideas but first it is the cam-paign and raising as much money as possible to help as many people as we can in Jasper County.”

Third doctor dies from Ebola in Sierra LeoneFREETOWN, Sierra Leone (AP) —

A third top doctor has died from Ebola in Sierra Leone, a government official said Wednesday, as health workers tried to de-termine how a fourth scientist also con-tracted the disease before being evacuated to Europe.

The announcements raised worries about Sierra Leone’s fight against Ebola, which already has killed more than 1,400 people across West Africa. The World Health Organization said it was sending a team to investigate how the epidemi-ologist now undergoing treatment in Ger-many may have contracted the disease that kills more than half its victims.

“The international surge of health workers is extremely important and if something happens, if health workers get infected and it scares off other inter-national health workers from coming, we will be in dire straits,” said Christy Feig, director of WHO communications.

Dr. Sahr Rogers had been working at a hospital in the eastern town of Ken-ema when he contracted Ebola, said Si-erra Leonean presidential adviser Ibrahim Ben Kargbo on Wednesday. Two other top doctors already have succumbed to Ebola since the outbreak emerged there earlier this year, including Dr. Sheik Hu-marr Khan, who also treated patients in Kenema.

Rogers’ death marks yet another set-back for Sierra Leone, a country still re-covering from years of civil war, where there are only two doctors per 100,000 people, according to WHO. By compari-son, there are 245 doctors per 100,000 in the United States.

The Senegalese epidemiologist who

was evacuated to Germany had been do-ing surveillance work for the U.N. health agency, said Feig, the WHO spokeswom-an. The position involves coordinating the outbreak response by working with lab experts, health workers and hospitals, but does not usually involve direct treatment of patients.

“He wasn’t in treatment centers nor-mally,” she said by telephone from Sierra Leone. “It’s possible he went in there and wasn’t properly covered, but that’s why we’ve taken this unusual measure — to try to figure out what happened.”

WHO said late Tuesday that it was pulling out its team from the eastern Si-erra Leonean city of Kailahun, where the epidemiologist working with the organi-zation was recently infected. The team was exhausted and the added stress of a col-league getting sick could increase the risk of mistakes, said Daniel Kertesz, the or-ganization’s representative in the country.

Canada also announced late Tuesday it was evacuating a three-member mobile laboratory team from Sierra Leone after people in their hotel were diagnosed with Ebola. The Public Agency of Canada said none of the team members was showing any signs of illness but that they would remain in voluntary isolation during the 21-day incubation period.

Health workers have been especially vulnerable because of their close proxim-ity to patients, who can spread the virus through bodily fluids. WHO says more than 120 health workers have died in the four affected countries — Sierra Leone, Liberia, Guinea and Nigeria.

While some local health workers have lacked proper protective gear, the teams

from the World Health Organization and Doctors Without Borders are usually well-equipped and trained in how to use the protective suiting.

A team of two experts was sent Tuesday to investigate whether the case occurred through straightforward exposure to Eb-ola patients, or something else, said Feig, the WHO spokeswoman. She said the team is checking to see if there is an in-fection risk in the living and working en-vironments that had not been discovered.

There is no proven treatment for Eb-ola, so health workers primarily focus on isolating the sick. But a small number of patients in this outbreak have received an experimental drug called ZMapp. The London hospital treating a British nurse infected in Sierra Leone, William Pooley, said he is now receiving the drug.

It was unclear where the doses for Pooley came from. The California-based maker of ZMapp had said that its sup-plies were exhausted and that it would take months before more doses would be available.

Two Americans, a Spaniard and three health workers in Liberia have received ZMapp, though it is unclear if the drug is effective. The Americans have recovered and have been released from an Atlanta hospital, but the Spaniard died, as did a Liberian doctor.

Health officials in Liberia said the oth-er two recipients of ZMapp in Liberia — a Congolese doctor and a Liberian physi-cian’s assistant, have recovered. Both are expected to be discharged from an Ebola treatment center on Friday, said Dr. Mo-ses Massaquoi, a Liberian doctor with the treatment team.

Board OKs student sex offender placementIOWA CITY (AP) — The Iowa

City Community School Board has approved the school placement of a student who is required to register as a sex offender. The board took a public 5-0 vote Tuesday night after a closed session.

Superintendent Stephen Murley has said Iowa law requires the district to offer education to all school-age chil-dren, including sex offenders who must register with law enforcement authori-ties. The district is barred from releas-ing information about the child.

Murley says the plan approved Tuesday includes monitoring before the student arrives at school, during the school day and after the school day. He says more than one adult will be in-volved in monitoring the student.

Iowan gets 20-60 months for Nebraska

theftsFREMONT, Neb.

(AP) — A 53-year-old Iowa man has been im-prisoned for stealing dozens of brass vases from an eastern Nebras-ka cemetery.

Gary Hostetter, of Carter Lake was given 20 to 60 months Mon-day. He had pleaded no contest to a theft charge. Dodge County Attor-ney Oliver Glass has said Hostetter admit-ted taking 45 vases from Memorial Cemetery in Fremont earlier this year.

Dodge County Jail records say Hostetter remained in custody on Tuesday. Online court records don’t list the name of his attorney.

Local OpinionPage 4A Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2014

I enjoy writing columns. In a way, its a re-porter’s chance to “break the fourth wall,” ex-press an enormous amount of creativity and give people better insight on yourself, your job and how you feel about things.

Another reason I enjoy them, is it’s a chance to get away from the stricter rules that go into regular news writing and it kind of takes me back to the olden days of writ-ing essays in school. I know so many people dreaded those essays, however, for me, it was the highlight of any assignment.

So each week, the “Take” is kind of like my way of reliving those days. The thing about column writing is that when you cover substan-tial or touchy subjects, you’d better be ready for the response on it from both ends. I feel fortunate that I’ve had that experience multiple times in college before I even set foot in the NDN office last January.

While the college paper was great for that initial experience, nothing quite prepares you for when you catch flack on a scale larger than the one presented to me at my old commu-nity college or commuter campus university.

I got my first taste of that a few times last year and honestly, I’ve come to enjoy it. It shows me that people are reading my col-umn, value my opinion — even if they dis-agree with it — and that my thoughts can spark an intelligent conversation.

As a professional word nerd, or journalist if you want to be technical, this is the equiv-alent of a teacher hearing one of their stu-dents in the hallway explaining a lesson to a classmate. This is like telling a waiter, “Give my regards to the chef,” and unbeknownst to you, the chef is sitting right behind you.

I especially love when this happens after I write a serious column, which are pretty few and far between since I prefer to recap my random hijinks and brag about how much money I save by shopping at Dollar Tree.

While the serious “Ty” moments are a rar-ity, I promise you they won’t ever stop com-pletely. I have a thick skin — a trait I de-veloped while being a teenage telemarketer, people really, really hate telemarketers — and it’s come in handy doing this job.

This column is one of the few places where I can express some of my thoughts in a public manner and I love that, and accept the responsibility that goes along with it.

I may not set-out to cause controversy when I sit down and write these things, but I more than accept it if it comes along. You can’t be a thought-provoking writer without provocation.

I was ac-tive in ad-v o c a t i n g for school lunch re-form at the time. The bill became law short-ly after I p u b l i s h e d a book on U.S. food policy. It seemed like such a perfect solution: Fix school lunch and you improve the diets of millions of kids instantly. You also help the next generation develop healthy habits for life.

Kids who eat breakfast and lunch at school eat nearly half their week’s meals in the caf-eteria. Kids who just eat school lunch consume nearly one quar-ter of their meals at school. Swapping out French fries for sautéed kale and sugary foods for fresh fruit would go a long way to improve our nation’s di-ets and health.

If only the kids would eat them, that is.

Here’s the thing. Back when the law was debated, school lunch and nutrition experts agreed on a number of things that schools needed, like tough-er nutrition standards — but nothing will improve if Con-

gress doesn’t give schools more money. As best as I could tell, it would take about an extra 50 cents to a dollar per meal to re-ally get school lunch where it ought to be. Instead, Congress gave schools a mere six cents more.

Cooking real food — the healthy kind — takes more than just fresh ingredients, which al-ready often costs more than fro-zen or canned junk. It requires a knowledgeable school lunch staff that can prepare the food. It requires refrigerators, cutting boards, and knives.

Junk food, on the other hand, requires freezers, microwaves, and very few skills to heat and serve.

Another sticky point: Mak-ing healthy food taste good for cheap is not easy. As Michael Moss pointed out in his book Salt Sugar Fat, Campbell’s soup could drastically reduce the so-dium in its soups if it replaced it with fresh herbs like rosemary. But rosemary is expensive, salt is cheap, and if you simply cut the salt without adding herbs to the soup, it tastes terrible.

Switching up kids’ food also requires outreach. Kids can resist trying new foods, but — with some effort by caring grown-ups — they can even en-joy healthy foods.

Take the time I had fifth-grade Girl Scouts over to learn about children’s lives in Kenya. The girls took a pretend trip to Kenya in which they plant-ed seeds, harvested kale, and cooked the Kenyan corn dish,

ugali, which is similar to po-lenta.

I expected full-scale rebellion when the girls ate their meal of beans, kale, and corn. Instead, they fought over the kale and begged for more. They didn’t just earn a badge for their vests, they discovered that beans and green veggies can taste good.

Without increasing the $11 billion federal budget for school lunches, you get in the pickle we’re in now. Schools can’t af-ford to meet tighter nutrition standards, and kids are throwing out the increased fruits, veggies, and whole grains schools now serve instead of eating them. This shouldn’t be a surprise.

And yet, the political debate doesn’t revolve around giving schools the increased fund-ing they need to make health-ier lunches work. Instead, Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-AL) pro-posed giving struggling schools a break from the tighter nu-trition standards for the next school year.

Washington treats school lunch spending as an expendi-ture. It ’s actually an investment.

Increased spending on better lunches could create new jobs for lunch staff while improving the health of America’s youth — and that would continue to pay us back for decades to come as today’s kids grow up with healthier habits.

Ty’s Take

To the editor,

I would like to thank Ben Schuff for the amazing series of articles he wrote on the Newton A’s. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading and re-reading them. They’ve brought back many fond memories.

A friend approached me after church this past weekend and joked that I must be broke now be-

cause of all the money I must have spent to get the former players to say those nice things about me. After giving it some thought, I’m convinced that re-gardless of what happens in the future, I will never be broke with friends like my boys.

Once again, thanks Ben! I think you might have a future with this writing thing.

To the editor,

Recently, I decided to downsize my art inventory of more than 60 years of being an artist.

PJ’s Deli generously allowed me to use their an-nex room which turned out to be a wonderful central site to hold my sale. Phil and Joy were very helpful in so many ways.

My friends, Margaret, Phyllis, Lelah and Linda took care of setting up and taking care of business so that I could visit with my guests and tell them infor-

mation they may not have known regrading subject matter and also my academic influences over many years of creativity.

Never did I anticipate so many friends attend-ing my show, but I feel truly blessed to reconnect through my art! A special thank you goes to PJ Deli, Newton Daily News for the special article and my friends who participated in many capacities. I sure-ly appreciated those who attended, and helped me “spread a little art around!”

“We want to make sure people have time to come in and visit their own child and have an open school, but at the same time we don’t want individuals to come in and in-teract with other children and have a difficult, tenuous situa-tion that arises.”

The new handbook states that volunteers must fill-out a volunteer application form; sign a statement of confi-dentiality; consent to a Iowa Courts criminal history back-ground check; have a clear record as it pertains to child abuse; be in compliance with sex offender law; and provide valid photo identification.

Volunteers are considered people who work inside of a classroom, help with a class-room celebration activity or chaperoning a trip. These people can include parents, grandparents, guardians, re-tirees or citizens who are com-mitted to helping students, will exhibit regular attendance

and be flexible in scheduling according to the district.

“If you are coming in to work with your own child, it would be similar to coming to have lunch with your own child and it would not require a background check because you are working with your own child,” said Callaghan in regard to how the policy would affect parents.

For example, if a parent came in to help with a Hal-loween party, they would be required to complete the vol-unteer application. However, if a parent was just coming to solely interact with their own child, they would go through the standard visitors proce-dure.

Rules of the handbook would not apply to school groups such as booster clubs or PTA and outside entities like boy or girl scouts and the Jasper County Conservation Office.

Volunteers would only be required to fill out the appli-cation once per school year. Callaghan estimated that it would take a week for the

district’s central office to pro-cess the volunteer background check, and once a person has met the requirements, their information would be dis-persed to all campuses.

In addition to approv-ing changes to the volunteer handbook, the board ap-proved the first readings of Board Policy 603.7, pertain-ing to outside resource people, and Board Policy 1003.5, per-taining to citizen assistance to school personnel.

The first portion of Board Policy 603.7 now reads, “the faculty member shall notify the building principal of an outside resource person well in advance of the visit. The principal may deny the re-quest for an outside resource person.”

Another change to this draft of the policy, states that parents or guardians have to sign a permission slip to al-low their children to attend presentations from an outside resource within the schools.

“My concern is protecting the parents from outside re-sources that they do not want

their children to have access to,” Callaghan said.

Callaghan admitted this was a bit of change to how status quo has been in the dis-trict, but he feels this method would give parents more say in what they want their chil-dren to learn about from non-district personnel within the schools.

“I think it’s a good change, personally,” said board mem-ber Donna Cook.

Board member Robyn Friedman expressed her con-cerns about this proposed change in policy. She said it could have a negative influ-ence on a students, especially at the elementary level, if they get pulled from class because their parent elected not to sign the form.

Friedman noted that per-mission slips get lost all the time and that some parents forget to check their child’s backpack when they get home. Board member Bill Perrenoud agreed with Fried-man’s points.

Board President Andy El-bert suggested that at the el-

ementary level, parents could just sign a single “blanket” form that would allow their child to attend all presenta-tions from an outside resource.

Policy 1003.5 essentially reiterates the points of 603.7, but in the form of regulations.

The next readings for both policies is expected to take place at the Sept. 8 meeting.

Another safety update, unrelated to the policies, was brought up by District Busi-ness Manager Gayle Isaac.

Isaac proposed to the board, that sometime in the near future, it consider updat-ing the intercom and cameras used at the main entrance of the district’s campuses. He said that they updated the system for Basics and Beyond Alternative School and it has proven to be more effective for identifying visitors than the current two-year-old sys-tem in place at the other cam-puses.

Arts Superintendent Janet Heinicke, Hoskins received an “overwhelming” percentage of the fairgoers votes with more than 700.

“Typewriter Girl” is a large scale charcoal drawing centered around a fe-male writer in mid-thought. The piece reflects an artist’s creative struggle and the never ending desire to create, to expunge themselves of all the ideas that can consume their mind, Hoskins said. For instance, the black and white stockings are like early penitentiary at-tire worn by prisoners representing the mental prison that many live in, ac-

cording to Hoskins.This isn’t his first visit to the fair.

Hoskins has won awards the last five years, and in 2011, he won the Fine Art Exhibit Best of Show.

“That was quite an extraordinary moment for me to have been vali-dated by a prestigious panel of those intricately tied within the art world,” Hoskins said about winning Best of Show. “But it’s different when the peo-ple speak. The People’s Choice is one of the most meaningful awards that I have received as it speaks to the masses and not just the art community itself.

“I don’t just want to create some-thing that will win jurors over, but something that will evoke a poignant moment and touch all people’s hearts,

regardless of who they are, where they come from, or how much they may or may not know about art.”

One of Hoskins’ strong suits is his attention to detail and his precise ex-ecution of the use of charcoal. Fairgo-ers often stop to spend more time ad-miring his work, trying to determine its medium, than they usually do, He-inicke said.

“Judd uses black and white with great effect,” Heinicke said.

Linda Klepinger, director of the Center for Arts & Artists, has known Hoskins for many years and is an ad-mirer as well who describes his skill as “artistically acute.”

“He’s a ‘show stopper,’ and he’s ex-cellent at showing people how they re-

ally are,” Klepinger said. “You don’t see artists like this come along very often.”

For both artists and the public alike, the annual state fair art show serves as an important and unique opportunity of artistic exchange. While artists get a chance to subject their work to the opinion of a general audience, the gen-eral audience gets the chance to see a large, gallery like show for free with admission.

“It’s rather nice to see the public put their stamp of approval on Judd,” He-inicke said. “He’s the most promising artist.”

and Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty hold a meeting to discuss what changes could be made to help alleviate the parking issue on that side of the courthouse.

“Fellas, it’s not just parking. I agree, it should be open for people to get pictures and en-joy the monuments. They’re great. They’re fantastic,” Par-rott said.

Board Chair Joe Brock agreed with Parrott that the matter must be discussed fur-ther among the parties that Parrott suggested earlier.

“We did have some issues (with parking) beforehand,

not just because of the monu-ment,” Brock said.

“I understand that … Please take into consideration — not to take pictures, not out of convenience — out of reverence for the memorials that are now there. All these gentleman are here represent-ing the fact that they served our country. We all served our country, and we are asking for reverence when you take this into consideration whenever this meeting is held,” Bishop said.

The parking issue stemmed from the fact that when the board originally approved construction of the memo-rial, it was slated to go on the south side of the courthouse and adjacent to original veter-

ans memorial.Bishop’s committee origi-

nally planned on having 300 to 450 bricks with veterans’ names; however, demand for the bricks increased, and the final product included 702 bricks. The original location on the south side wouldn’t have been large enough to en-compass all aspects of the me-morial as it is. Bishop added that it also conflicted with an Americans with Disabilities Act required sidewalk that runs diagonally on the south-east portion of the courthouse lawn.

Both Parrott and Brock ad-mitted they had felt out of the loop during the construction of the project, and Parrott said he didn’t realize it had

been moved from the south side to the east side of the courthouse until they started pouring concrete.

Brock said as board chair, he’s taking responsibility for not staying informed on the matter, and Bishop also took responsibility for not keep-ing the board and Parrott in-formed on all that was taking place on the courthouse lawn.

“It was a lack of communi-cation on both ends,” Brock said.

It was decided that Hal-ferty, Parrott and all three supervisors would sit down and design an enforceable and clear-cut policy for parking on the eastside of the court-house.

Before the parking debate

took place, Bishop informed the board that his committee had raised $116,000 total for the memorial complex, spent $90,000 and had around $24,000 left to pay off. In addition, he said the memo-rial is expected to be 100 per-cent complete next week, they have established a perpetual care fund for both the old and new memorials and that the flag poles adjacent to the me-morial rock will become lit.

Bishop had planned on discussing future memorials but decided to table that dis-cussion.

which can show potential employers a person’s qualifications for a position.

The City of Newton has been at-tempting to gain a Skilled Iowa des-ignation since Gov. Terry Branstad allocated funding toward the program in 2012, and every high school in Jas-per County has its students take the test.

In addition, Immerfall said the Greater Newton Area Chamber of Commerce, Newton Development

Corporation, the Jasper County Eco-nomic Development Corporation, Skiff Medical Center and a number of other entities within the county support the initiative.

“Let’s go for it,” said board mem-ber Dennis Carpenter.

Jasper County Human Resources Director Dennis Simon said that hav-ing future applicants that have already completed the NCRC test will help the county better determine what type of positions those employees could fill.

Immerfall added that it is of no-cost for the county to participate and

that when it garners the designation, it will be a great marketing tool to at-tract businesses.

NDC is partnering with DMACC to hold a NCRC testing opportunity for citizens on Sept. 15, 16 and 17 at Newton’s DMACC campus computer lab. Testing times range from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m., and participants can chose to take all three one-hour tests at once or break them up over days or hours.

for the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office. He will begin work on at Sept. 2 at a hire-in pay rate of $23.83 per hour. With this addition, the sheriff ’s office only has one vacant deputy position.

• The board approved vacating a section of a Level B road along South 112th Ave West at the request of ad-jacent landowners. No public com-ment was made on the matter and the road’s location was described as west of Monroe and north of Highway F70.

DEAR ABBY: Five years ago, my husband got drunk and physically at-tacked me in front of his family. It was horrible. I was in shock, and our relation-ship never recovered.

The next four years were a series of court visits for custody of our child and eventually a divorce. Last year, his moth-er began requesting visits with our son. I was happy about it because I have tried to be accommodating to my ex and his family regarding our son.

Finally, late last year, I called my ex to ask if we could sit down and discuss our son (something we had never done). We have met twice during the last two weeks, and each time had long conver-sations about everything. (Our son, our past, our relationship.) Many miscon-ceptions were cleared up, and it’s obvious that we both have made many necessary changes within ourselves.

Now I’m confused about what comes next. Speaking with him has brought back so many feelings. Prior to the at-tack, our stress levels had been high and our communication was terrible, but there had been no physical violence. I’m not sure if this is the universe giving us an opportunity to give the family we started another chance. Should we start over? — WAVERING IN NEW YORK

DEAR WAVERING: What comes next might be that you and your ex can become good friends and parent your son in a congenial, cooperative fashion. What comes next might be that you re-kindle your romance. Or it might be that you get back together and he assaults you again.

If your ex has sought help for his drinking and anger management issues, a reconciliation could work out beauti-fully. However, if he hasn’t, I certainly wouldn’t recommend it. Sometimes peo-ple can care deeply about each other, but shouldn’t be married.

DEAR ABBY: My 95-year-old mom feels that her age “entitles” her to speak without a filter, and she has become to-tally intolerant and critical. She is men-tally sharp and highly intelligent, which

makes her nasty comments even more hurtful to family and friends.

Standing up to her isn’t an option be-cause of her age and she knows it. She doesn’t seem to recognize how damaging her attitude has become to those who love her. If you could print this and offer some advice, she might recognize herself. — A LOVING SON

DEAR LOVING SON: The fact that someone has celebrated 95 birthdays does not give the person license to be de-liberately unkind to others. Negativity is an unattractive trait, regardless of how old you are. People who deliberately say hurtful things invariably find the circle of those who want to be around them shrinking.

My advice to your mother would be, before opening her mouth, ask herself whether what she has to say is true, help-ful and KIND. And if it isn’t all THREE, she should rephrase her comment or not say it at all.

DEAR ABBY: What does one say to casual acquaintances who stop by unin-vited and with no prior phone call? — NANCY IN AURORA, COLO.

DEAR NANCY: Let me tell you first what one DOESN’T say. It’s “Come in!” It is perfectly acceptable to explain that the person caught you in the middle of your housework or a project you need to finish and, please, in the future to call be-fore dropping by so you can make some plans together.

Local GOP hosts speakers at block partyThe Jasper County

Republicans held its second block party on Monday night.

The group obtained a permit to block the road in front of their of-fice, 207 W. Second St. N. Folding chairs were set up, pizza was served and music played in the background. Roughly 50 people braved the heat and humidity to hear from speakers and dis-cuss Republican politics.

With the courthouse in the background, for-mer State Party Chair-man Matt Strawn ad-dressed the crowd and spoke about his recent trip to Israel. Strawn is a co-founder of Io-wans Supporting Israel,

a nonpartisan group of statewide business and civic leaders who advo-cate for stronger ties be-tween Iowa and Israel. The former party chair explained how Israelis only have 90 seconds to take cover when the missile alarms sound.

The local GOP also heard from Tamara Scott, their National Commit-teewoman. Scott echoed some of Strawn’s senti-ments regarding Israel and blasted the educa-tional reforms known as the Common Core Standards which are cur-rently being implement-ed in American schools.

Local candidates were given an opportunity to address the group as

well. State Senate Dis-trict 15 Candidate Crys-

tal Bruntz, State House District 29 Candidate

Patrick Payton and County Supervisor Can-

didate Jeremy Heaberlin all gave remarks about their campaigns.

Marshall Critchfield, chairman of the local Republican Party, updat-ed the crowd on the state of the party and dis-cussed his race for Jasper County Recorder.

Critchfield closed the speaking portion of the meeting by exclaiming, “welcome to the new Grand Old Party.”

The Jasper County Republicans will be at Thanks With Franks on Sept. 4 and their next block party is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Sept. 22.

For questions or com-ments, please contact Marshall Critchfield at (515) 508-1750.

News

Ex-workforce judge says his firing was retaliatoryDES MOINES (AP) — A former

chief judge for the state agency that hears unemployment cases said Tuesday he was fired because he stood up to his boss, who he said asserted her bias toward employers over workers.

Joe Walsh oversaw 15 unemployment appeals judges from 2010 until his dis-missal in 2013.

On Tuesday, he told the Senate Gov-ernment Oversight Committee that Iowa Workforce Development Director Teresa Wahlert pushed him to develop tip sheets to help businesses avoid paying unemployment benefits and took other steps that signaled she was inserting her personal political beliefs into the job.

“She instructed me to gather data on the judges to determine which judges were more likely to rule in favor of em-ployers,” he said.

Walsh said he was initially hired as a merit employee, which protects certain state workers from being fired for po-litical reasons. When he resisted some of her efforts, he was switched to an at-will

employee, which means he could be fired at any time for any reason, he said. That move in April 2013 violated established legal principles that say judges must be insulated from political influence, Walsh said.

The U.S. Department of Labor, which funds a portion of unemployment ben-efits, requires judges who hear unemploy-ment cases to have merit protection. The agency is investigating whether federal regulations were violated.

Walsh was laid off on July 15, 2013, and has filed a wrongful termination law-suit against the state.

“Having a fair, unbiased system for re-solving disputes is essential to stability in our society and it is what decent people strive for, regardless of our political lean-ings,” he said.

Walsh called on the Legislature to pass a law requiring judges to be free of pressure from political operatives and to appoint an independent counsel “to fully review all of the Branstad administration’s abuses of the administrative judiciary.”

Dubuque County copes with loss of four teens

FARLEY (AP) — Members of an Iowa community have band-ed together to sup-port one another after the death of four local teenagers.

The Telegraph Her-ald reports dozens of Dubuque County community members met Tuesday night to discuss ways to cope

with the tragedy. The school district invited Community Resilience Institute, a nonprofit organization, to help facilitate the commu-nity crisis recovery. The group talked about how they can accept, recover and grow from the loss.

Dawn Wilwert says she has received an out-pouring of condolences

and comfort since her 14-year-old son and a few of his classmates died in an accident at the beginning of August. Bryce Wilw-ert, Sean Kenneally, Nicholas Kramer and Mitchell Kluesner were killed when the utility vehicle they were driv-ing was hit by a truck pulling a trailer.

Republicans question Hatch’s legislative record

DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa Repub-licans are accusing Democratic guberna-torial candidate Jack Hatch of using his leg-islative position to halt a bill that could have impacted his develop-ment business.

Iowa Republican Party Chairman Jeff Kaufmann said Tues-day that as a state sen-ator, Hatch sought to kill a bill that would have limited fees for developers receiv-ing federal tax credits to build low-income housing.

Hatch’s develop-ment company has built projects us-ing these tax cred-its. Hatch’s campaign called the accusations false but declined to answer specific ques-tions.

“There are literally hundreds of pieces of legislation submitted by minority Repub-licans every year that don’t get a hearing. To say that Jack killed it is not true,” said Hatch’s campaign manager Grant Woodard.

The bill cited by Re-publicans was referred

to a subcommittee chaired by Hatch in the Democratic-controlled Senate in 2013. The panel never met, so the bill did not advance. Sen. Jake Chapman, a Republican from Adel, said he was assigned to the subcommittee and the bill “never saw the light of day, thanks to Jack Hatch.”

A recent investi-gation by The Des Moines Register found that Hatch had fol-lowed development rules and had taken votes for and against his self-interest.

FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily NewsThe cast of Smoke on the Mountain, a musical comedy, starts their final month of rehearsals at the First Christian Church.

Smoke on the Mountain prepping for September debut

Since the first of July, the First Christian Church of Newton has been hard at work getting ready for their upcoming musical com-edy, “Smoke on the Mountain.” As a part of their sesquicenten-nial celebration, the church is putting on their first ever musical at the suggestion of their Pastor Mark Young.

“It’s a musical that is always down in Branson, and the pas-tor has seen it down there,” Cathi Wickett, Director of Music said.

The cast and crew, who all have previous experience with musicals and performing, consists of members of the church with one exception.

Smoke on the Mountain is the story of a Saturday Night Gospel Sing at a country church in North

Carolina’s Smoky Mountains in 1938. The story is focused around the Sanders family, a traveling group returning after a five-year hiatus, performing at the Mount Pleasant Baptist Church. The church’s Pastor Oglethorpe hopes to bring his tiny congregation into “the modern world” with hesitation from the parishioners.

While in between song, the Sanders “witnessed” telling im-portant stories in their lives and trying to seem perfect in the eyes of the congregation, who wanted to be inspired by their songs. One things after another goes awry and their imperfect and hilarious natures are revealed.

By the evening’s close, the Sanders family has revealed their weaknesses and shared their tri-umphs, endearing themselves to the congregation and the crowd alike.

The ensemble cast performs groups numbers as well as solos and duets along with their act-ing sequences. The cast includes: Scott Shaeffer, Kathy Smith, Jim Sears, Kristine Perkins, Steve Barnett, Kathy Ashburn, John Dougan, Sue Pickett, Joyce Guthrie and Cheyenne Schaef-fer with Greta Wallace on piano, Steve Kastli playing the banjo and guitar and Fred Chabot on bass.

Opening night begins at 7 p.m. on Sept. 27 at the First Christian Church, 314 E. Second St. N. Two additional performances will be at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Sept. 28. A freewill donation is accepted and all in the community are wel-come.

Sacred Heart Catholicwelcomes new director

Sacred Heart Catholic Church announced Joe Fey as the new Director of Faith Forma-tion position beginning Tuesday. Fey will be a full-time staff member responsible for di-recting all aspects of life-long faith formation, overseeing sacramental preparation and pro-viding liturgical formation and leadership.

Two Newton churches work in Winnebago

From July 5 - 12, members of First Pres-byterian Church of Newton, United Presby-terian Church of Newton and First Presbyte-rian Church of Brooklyn went on the annual intergenerational Work Week trip. This year’s group traveled to Winnebago, Neb., which is the home of the Winnebago Native Ameri-can tribe.

The Winnebago Reformed Church host-ed the parishioners which helped people in the Winnebago area by reroofing a double garage, weeding flower and vegetable gar-dens, cleaning and mowing a small city park near the church and doing repair work to a deck so a ramp could be added. Jobs also included scraping paint in preparation for some painting to be done and painting the inside of a government home, getting it ready for a homeless family to move in.

Work Week trips are opportunities not only to become acquainted with and help people in another part of the U.S., but also for the group to form a mini-community through the process of living and working together.

Money to go on the trip was raised by hosting a spring style show in partnership with Mode Huis, a barbecue rib dinner held in Brooklyn, and an annual ice cream social. Each attendee also pays a nominal fee and commits to attending monthly meetings and working at the fund raisers.

Members of youth groups from other sur-rounding churches are also welcome to at-tend for future Work Week mission trips.

Amazon seeks to reach viewers with ‘Hand of God’The upcoming Ama-

zon pilot “Hand of God,” is about Ron Perlman as a judge who believes God is guiding him after an attack on his family, is among the latest batch of potential series that will be streamed online by Amazon beginning Thursday. The Internet retail giant took a cue from Netflix last year and started producing its own shows. Which shows become full series will depend on audience

response.Perlman said he was

interested in moving right into another TV project after coming off six seasons as the patri-arch of a ruthless biker gang on FX’s “Sons of Anarchy.” To him, “Hand of God” was “too good to be true” because it was the first script he read post-”Anarchy,” and the character of Judge Harris Pernell was so different from his previous roles.

“I was completely in-

timidated,” said Perlman over a lunch on the set. “The character is this compendium of very, very bold qualities — one of which is that he’s in the middle of a break-down when we meet him. Whoever he is in life, he’s deeply compro-mised during the pilot and going through self-discovery as God comes into his life.”

Dana Delany will play the take-no-prisoners wife of the law-bending

judge.Amazon will begin

streaming “Hand of God” on Thursday, alongside pilots for the medical thriller “Hysteria,” star-ring Mena Suvari; the marriage comedy “Real-ly,” from writer-director-actor Jay Chandrasekhar; the 1980s country club romp “Red Oaks,” from producer Steven Soder-bergh; and the Paris-set romantic comedy “The Cosmopolitans,” starring Adam Brody.

MARION — Despite losing their season opening swim meet, Newton/Colfax-Mingo/Pella’s Aquagirls had a “great meet” according to head coach Sarah Patterson.

NCMP dropped a close varsity meet, 99-87, to host Linn-Mar Tues-day. The Aquagirls also lost the junior varsity portion of the meet but no team scores were available.

“We have a large team — 43 people — and we are competitive team, so the best meets for us are with bigger teams with lots of competition. Well, we got just what we were looking for with Linn-Mar,” Patterson said. “We didn’t come away with a win in either JV or Varsity, but it was a great show-ing for us in our fi rst meet of the year.”

The Aquagirls came in second and

third in the fi rst event of the night, the medley relays. Sydney Jenkins, Han-nah Rhoads, Hannah Scootton and Sara Martin combined for the second place team. Finishing third was the team of Kira Hanson, Sierra Griffi th, Emily Miller and Alexis Stout.

Patterson said all eight swimmers turned in nice split times. She said it was fun to see a fast 26.97-second split from Stout, who is a freshman.

NCMP varsity won the fi nal event of the night, the 400-yard freestyle relay race. In between the two relay races, the Aquagirls had strong races, Patterson said.

“The 400 freestyle relay was back-and-forth until our anchor Hannah Scotton hit the water. She pulled away for the win and a best-ever split of 55.97 seconds,” Patterson said. “We always like to win the last race even if we don’t win the meet. Our other re-

lays fi nished third and fi fth, so once again things are looking strong for upcoming meets on our schedule.

“Overall, we raced well and went after it. We know we have work to do, but that is what makes a season. We look forward to swimming and diving at Simpson College pool next week against Indianola and Grinnell.”

NCMP travels to Indianola for a tri-angular meet with host Indianola and Grinnell at Simpson College on Sept. 4.

Junior Samantha Hedrick tied for fi rst in the varsity 50-yard freestyle race.

“Every winning event last night

was a pool record as this is a brand new $12 million facility at Linn-Mar High School. So Sam went down in the record books on that one,” Patter-son said. “Not satisfi ed with the tie, Samantha won the 100 freestyle and not only logged pool record, but beat her own school record in the process. And, she currently holds the fastest time in the state on Quik Stats.”

NCMP’s divers — Morgann Eide, Chelsea Trotter, and Anna Barr — competed in their fi rst meets ever Tuesday. Patterson said they all did a great job and saw some tough com-petition in the Linn-Mar squad. Eide had the highest placing with a fourth place fi nish scoring a 189.40, while Trotter scored a 149.35 and Barr had a 97.65.

Big 12 hopes ‘One True Champion’

good for playoff

With 10 teams playing a round-robin schedule and no cham-pionship game, the Big 12 is emphasizing its unique standing in the new playoff era.

The mantra “One True Champion” is part of the conference’s new branding effort, complete with tele-vision ads and its own website.

“The only thing that you really have to do after adopting ‘One True Champion’ as your moniker is you have to go out and win some games,” Commissioner Bob Bowlsby said. “We want to win national champi-onships.”

The Big 12 is the only one of the fi ve power confer-ences in which every team plays each other. The Big 12 ends its regular season the fi rst weekend of December when the SEC, ACC, Big Ten and Pac-12 are playing championship games.

Texas was the Big 12’s last national champion, dur-ing the 2005 season, and got back in the title game four years after that. Eight-time Big 12 champ Okla-homa won the 2000 national title.

Baylor is coming off its fi rst Big 12 title, and like all the champions since Texas in 2009, the Bears didn’t win all their league games.

So would a Big 12 champion with a blemished re-cord get one of the coveted four spots in the fi rst Col-lege Football Playoff semifi nal games?

Highlights were there in all fi ve losses for the young Newton High Cardinal volleyball team. The Cardinals came out of their season opener — the Newton Early Bird Volleyball Invitation-al — winless but wiser.

“Great things can happen for this team. I told them before that last set that win or lose they needed to walk out of the gym knowing they left everything on the court. They did that,” said fi rst-year NHS head coach Lau-ra Rowen.

Sure, Rowen and the Car-dinals wanted to win sets and matches Tuesday night at home, but the inexperience factor reared its head. Newton lost 21-7, 21-14 to Knoxville, 21-15, 22-20 to Carlisle, 21-9, 21-2 to West Des Moines Dowling Catholic, 21-17, 21-18 to Adel-DeSoto-Minburn, and 21-18, 22-20 to Oskaloosa.

“We’re young. With a team this young, you learn from mak-ing mistakes,” Rowen said. “I saw a lot of fi ght in these girls tonight. The beginning was rough and we were timid, but by the last match, we were battling.

We almost won that match.”Almost was a big factor on the

night for Newton. The Cardinals almost had three wins on the night but came up short against Carlisle, ADM and Oskaloosa. The only match the Cardinals were really out of was against Dowling Catholic.

Dowling Catholic went 5-0 in the tournament. Knoxville and ADM were 3-2 while Carlisle and Oskaloosa each posted a 2-3 mark Tuesday.

Newton only has one senior on the varsity roster in Sydney Hemann. The Cardinals have just one returning starter from a year ago in sophomore Megan Pressgrove. Sophomore Kaytlin Ahn had limited varsity experi-ence.

In the opener against Knox-ville, Newton did not score an offensive point the fi rst set. Ahn, who fi nished with 14 service points on the night, served the fi rst offensive point for the Car-dinals to start the second set and Hemann had an ace serve in the 21-14 loss.

Carlisle controlled the fi rst set of the match with Newton. The Cardinals were down 3-2 in the second set when Allison Ergen-bright served up three straight

points. Facing a 15-14 defi cit, Ahn ripped off a fi ve-point run for the Cardinals.

Roughly three weeks after Newton’s fi nal racing week-end of the 2014 season, Iowa Speedway gave racing fans in the area something to look for-ward to next summer.

The Speedway announced its 2015 NASCAR dates Tuesday with three weekends marked for next year’s schedule.

Similar to this season — the fi rst season the track was under

NASCAR ownership — next year’s schedule features two Nationwide Series races and one Camping World Truck Se-ries. The Nationwide drivers will race on May 17 and Aug. 1. Truck drivers will be in New-ton for a race on June 19.

“We had three fantastic race weekends fi lled with incredible racing and entertainment in 2014, and we are really look-ing forward to increasing the excitement in 2015,” Iowa Speedway President Jimmy

Small said in a release. “Our fans continue to prove they are some of the best in the country, and we will continue to work tirelessly on our part, with fo-cus on improving the fan expe-rience and contributing to the quality of life here in Iowa.”

Additional information, such as start times, has not been announced.

The Speedway is also still working with IndyCar to de-termine a date for a 2015 race in Newton.

“With what you do going through this league, no, I don’t see that as a problem at all,” Baylor coach Art Briles said. “But who knows? I mean, that’s why they formed the commit-tee. We’ll see how the committee thinks.”

BEAR MARKET: Baylor moves into its new campus stadium with returning quarterback Bryce Petty, the Big 12’s top offensive player, and receiver Antwan Goodley (13 touch-downs). The Bears set an NCAA record with 52.4 points a game last season.

BELL RINGER: Blake Bell was Oklahoma’s starting quarterback for eight games last season, and ran for 24 TDs in short-yardage situations the previous two years. He is now a 6-foot-6, 260-pound senior start-ing tight end, his dad’s NFL posi-tion. The quarterback is sophomore Trevor Knight (348 yards, four TDs passing in Sugar Bowl victory over Alabama).

STRONG MESSAGE: New Texas coach Charlie Strong has sus-pended three potential starters for at least the season opener, and maybe more games, while four other players have been dismissed for rules viola-tions. The Longhorns are without a Big 12 title since 2009.

EARLY NEUTRAL TESTS: Oklahoma State plays its opener Aug. 30 against defending national champ Florida State and Heisman Trophy winner Jameis Winston in Arlington, Texas. West Virginia

plays Alabama in Atlanta the same day. It’s UCLA vs. Texas in Arling-ton for Week 3.

DECADE IN CHARGE: Mike Gundy goes into his 10th season as Oklahoma State’s head coach, and 24th in Stillwater as a player or coach. “From a personal standpoint, I couldn’t be any more proud of who we are and the direction that we’re going,” said Gundy, 77-38 as head coach, including the 2011 Big 12 ti-tle and a second-place finish last year.

K-STATE COMEBACK: Kan-sas State was the defending Big 12 champ last year when it opened with a loss to FCS champion North Da-kota State, part of a 2-4 start. The Wildcats then won six of their last seven games, including a bowl over Michigan. Versatile standout receiv-er Tyler Lockett is among seven re-turning offensive starters.

WEIS WOES: Kansas has won only three Big 12 games the past five seasons, and is 4-20 overall (1-17 Big 12) under coach Charlie Weis. “We haven’t done a thing in the two years I’ve been here,” said Weis. Without revealing details, he added that his team’s expectations are clearly de-fined.

BISON VS. BIG 12: North Da-kota State won its third FCS title in a row last season and opens this year at Iowa State, which lost its 2013 opener against FCS team Northern Iowa. Predicted order of finish:

1. Baylor; 2. Oklahoma; 3. Kansas State.; 4. Oklahoma St.; 5. Texas; 6. TCU; 7. Texas Tech; 8. West Virgin-ia; 9. Iowa State; 10. Kansas.

Major League Baseball

Taylor Shipley’s kill made it 20-16 and gave the serve back to Newton, but the Cards couldn’t hold it. Carlisle rat-tled off five points to rally for the win.

The match with Iowa Class 5A third-ranked Dowling Catholic started off with a bang. Ahn delivered a resound-ing kill shot past the Maroons’ middle blocker/hitter Mykal Sadler. The Ma-roons took over from there.

Newton battled hard against ADM and Oskaloosa in the final two match-es. The Cardinals had back-and-forth matches against both teams.

Newton’s Ahn and Pressgrove made noise at the net with kills and blocks. Shipley had a block against ADM, then served up four points. The teams were locked in a 17-all first set when ADM served four points to win.

Newton was down 8-5 in the second set and Ryanne Rausch had a serving run of five points with Pressgrove deliv-ering a block at the net and Bailey Davis downing a kill. ADM got the 21-18 set win for the match victory.

“I saw a lot of changes from the begin-ning of the night to the end of the night,” Rowen said. “We have only up to go. It comes down to being more confident in their decisions on the court. There were a lot of times tonight, the girls made the right decision but hesitated.”

In the Oskaloosa match, Morgan Al-len had a kill and a block at the net in the opening set. Rausch was credited with two kills when the ball hit the top of the net each time and trickled over off the tape. Newton led late in the set — 18-17 — and lost 21-18.

That is how it went for the Cardinals. They almost got wins. They were up 20-18 in the second set on a serve by Hemann, but could not hold serve for the final point. Os-kaloosa served out the set and match, 22-20.

Rowen said developing players who can finish will come as will finding the girls who will step up to have a strong presence at the net for the Cardinals.

Rausch served for 11 points on the night and had two aces while Pressgrove served up nine points. Ergenbright had eight points from the service line, and five were ace serves. Shipley and Lucas each had six service points and Hemann had five.

At the net, Pressgrove and Shipley each had 10 kills followed by Ahn’s sev-en. Morgan Allen had six assisted blocks and Pressgrove had five assisted blocks. Ahn and Davis each were credited with three assisted blocks.

Alyssa Bartels, Shipley and Ergen-bright had an assisted block apiece. Rausch, Bartels and Ergenbright each had two kills while Allen and Davis each had one kill.

Pressgrove had 11 set assists and Shi-pley had five assists. Lucas and Ahn each had 24 digs on the night and Pressgrove had 17 digs. Rausch had nine digs and Bartels had six digs.

Newton has a little more than a week to prepare for its next action. The Cardi-nals go to the ADM Invitational at Adel on Sept. 4

Stout won the junior varsity 50 free.

Jenkins and freshman Maddy Webb went third and fourth in the varsity 100 freestyle race. Hanson looked strong in winning the junior varsity 100 freestyle.

Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2014Page 6B

Astrograph

Yesterday Venus antago-nized Jupiter. Now she’s using her feminine wiles to pull Mars into the conflict. Venus/Mars strife usually hits close to home, as the male/female dynamic is at the root of our essence. We would not exist without it! Hopefully this disharmony will precede a greater ap-preciation and understand-ing of both energies.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 27). You’re an attractive mystery. The others will keep coming around to try to figure you out. Flattered by their attention, you’ll enjoy the perks of popularity in September and October. November brings new work and different rules. Keep your eyes peeled for financial opportunity in December, and you’ll buy low and sell high. Aquar-ius and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 3, 33, 28 and 17.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Everyone is quirky in some way, though your quirks are more obvious today. Your quirks will act up, shout out, lean in — and endear a few fans in the process.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Life is not inherently fair by human standards, but things will have a way of pleasantly balancing out. Tables turn, ironies play out, the meek get their inheritance, and the powerful bend in humble deference.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). They say you can’t please everyone all the time, but then again, “they” never met you in the game. You’re on. You’re thoughtful. You’re playful. You’re really just trying to please yourself, and the rest get happy be-ing a part of that.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). To each his own. That, quite simply, is the lesson of the day. It will be hard to resist righting the obvious slights, ignorances and pretentions. But it’s probably not your job to do so.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It may be requested that you perform a certain function when in reality you are there for moral support. Do not discount the importance of moral support. The feeling

can be more important than the product.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). It’s time for those material possessions that don’t serve you well to be released to someone who will put them to good use. Immediately, the lack of encumbrance will make you feel younger.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Play up your quirks for all they are worth because people need to know what they are get-ting when they get you. Besides, those quirks are what someone will fall in love with.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). What is this grow-ing sense of contentment creeping up on you? Wait, no, it’s better than that. You’re happy — really happy! Maybe there are reasons, and maybe it’s just because you decided to be.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You may be playing a rather small part today, but you are committed to the work and it shows. Your courteous attitude and the interest you take in the

work of others will pay off immediately and down the line.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). You have a toolbox for solving problems, and among your most used in-struments are your smile, your charm and your unique ability to listen past what people are saying and into what they really want.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Avoid those with a bleak outlook, no matter how smart they sound. What’s so smart about bringing people down or showing them a logical, ugly reality? Keep the magical thinking alive.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You’ll apply your keen intuition to your love life and come up with a new way to relate to others. Your nearest and dearest will benefit, and so will the world at large.
