Jamee A. Pierson/Daily NewsThe repainting of the railroad bridge over First Avenue West is a project currently in progress from the comprehensive plan.

City comprehensive plan updatedBy Jamee A. Pierson Daily News Staff Writer

For the last several months, Newton’s Comprehensive Plan, which was adopted in October 2012, has been under review. The city committed to revisit the plan every two years to en-sure that the plan remains rel-evant to the community, update projects that have been com-pleted and add any additional projects. At the Monday City Council meeting, the updated plan was approved.

Several methods were used to get citizen feedback on the plan including the National Citizen Survey the city par-ticipated in earlier this year as well as two citizen input ses-sions and a community survey. Nearly 200 citizens took part to give feedback on the plan.

Four projects and initiatives that were planned have been completed to date. The city created a community logo with the “Get to Know Newton” campaign as a part of the com-munity marketing initiative. The goal was for the logo to be simple, powerful and appealing as well as capture the essence of Newton.

To be more than “just an-other town along Interstate 80,” the city wanted to establish a strong, positive image to in-vite interstate travelers into the community. In order to com-plete that initiative, the city is working to establish Newton’s downtown district as a historic district on the National Regis-ter of Historic places. The proj-

ect is pending final approval.Through the Red Pride Ini-

tiative, the city reviewed the nuisance regulations and set enforcement of those laws as a priority. As a part of that, Newton Fire Marshal Mike Knoll worked to update the Minimum Housing Code that was adopted in 1978 to the cur-rent Minimum Rental Hous-ing Code, which meets today’s needs in the way of health, safe-ty and well-being of residents as well as property owners.

The city also adopted its an-nual Community Investment Plan, which is a planning docu-ment for projects.

“The city does (this) every year. It is basically the plan for investments both equipment and project investments. It’s done with various time frames in mind, could be one year, could be five years,” said Erin Chambers, director of Planning and Zoning.

There are 38 “things to do” that are currently in process. A priority for the city was the way-finding signage project, which is currently underway.

“The city council approved a bid package responded to by Sign Pro of Newton, which is actively working on the devel-opment of those signs and in-stillation is expected to happen yet this fall,” Chambers said.

Also currently in the works, is the repainting of the rail-road bridge over First Avenue West. Chambers said that there is progress being made but be-cause of lead paint found on the bridge and the city not actually

owning the bridge, it takes ad-ditional steps to complete the project.

Another project that will get a fresh look next year is the First Avenue Art and Sculpture Program. The current art pieces will be taken down toward the end of fall and different sculp-tures will be put in their place come spring.

Other notable works in progress are:

• Addressing dilapidated structures.

• Focusing on removal of un-livable housing units.

• Enhancing western hous-ing options, currently in prog-ress with the addition of the Fountain Hills Housing Devel-opment.

• Eliminating uncontrolled intersections.

• Working with the Iowa Department of Transportation for a park and ride lot in New-ton.

A noted addition is the First Avenue West Corridor Con-cept Narrative. As one of the major entry ways to Newton, the city would like it to look inviting and encompass and ad-vertise Newton’s future devel-opment plans.

“We charged our summer in-tern with the task of imagining a blank slate,” Chambers said. The intern, who is a landscape architect working on her mas-ters in planning, was given free reign to image anything for the area in the west corridor.

County’s transition to mental health region on trackBy Ty Rushing

Daily News Senior Staff Writer

Jasper County’s tran-sition into folding its mental health services into the Central Iowa Community Services Region is going smooth-ly, according to Jody Ea-ton, who informed the Jasper County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday.

Eaton serves as the Jasper County Commu-nity Services Director/Central Point Coordina-tor, and has been in the thick of things for the formation of CICSR. The region was formed after the state mandated all mental health servic-es be conducted through a regional format to en-sure all Iowans receive adequate coverage and was operational by the 2013-2014 fiscal year.

In her update, Eaton said the Iowa Depart-ment of Health and Hu-man Services approved CICSR’s transition plan, annual service place and budget plan. Eaton also said the CICSR govern-ing board approved and submitted the region’s policies and procedures manual to IDHS.

“Once those are ap-proved, they will be functional,” Eaton said.

CICSR has also at-tained liability insur-ance and signed a letter of engagement to hire legal representation.

Eaton’s update also indicated the county could be reimbursed by as much as 80 percent of costs for providing cer-tain mental health ser-vices by IDHS, due to a Medicaid offset.

In addition, the re-gion is expected to fully begin pooling its funds, minus administrative and service coordination costs, by FY 15. For now, the CICSR govern-ing board will approve all budgets for member

counties — with a target date of November 2014 — and then submit those approved budgets back to individual coun-ties for approval.

Other members of the 10-county region include, Boone, Frank-lin, Hamilton, Hardin, Madison, Marshall, Poweshiek, Story and Warren counties.

Eaton also indi-cated that CICSR was in compliance with the state’s legislation on providing core and core plus services, but was falling short in the sup-ported employment cat-egory.

Half of Iowa’s schools in need of assistance, including some in Newton

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer

The Iowa Department of Education released the state-wide Annual Yearly Prog-ress report Tuesday, and more than 50 percent of the state’s 1,356 public schools made the School in Need of Assistance or SINA list, including several in the Newton Community

School District.Although these results repre-

sent the 2014-2015 school year, they are based on testing from the 2013-2014 school year.

The IDE uses its annual report to measure school and school dis-tricts ability to meet the standards set by the No Child Left Behind Act, which last year required all students to be 100 percent profi-cient in math and reading.

A number of education of-ficials have spoken out against NCLB and have labeled the 100 percent mark a “statistical improbability.”

“(NCLB) has outlived its usefulness as a lever for im-proving student achievement in our country. We need some Ty Rushing/Daily News

Although Annual Yearly Progress results were mixed in the New-ton school district, Berg Middle School made it off of the School in Need of Assistance list in math. Last year, BMS started using a new online math curriculum, which a student is pictured using.

‘Phantom of the Opera’ showing at Civic Center through Sunday

Newton Daily News

Tickets are still available for Cameron Mackintosh and An-drew Lloyd Webber’s Really Useful Group’s spectacular new produc-tion of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s “The Phantom of the Opera” at the Des Moines Civic Center.

With newly reinvented staging and scenic design, this new ver-sion of “Phantom,” the most suc-cessful musical of all-time, will be performed by a cast and orchestra of 52, making this one of the larg-est productions on tour in North America.

“It’s wonderful to have a new production of ‘Phantom’ tour-ing America now that the show has celebrated over 25 years on Broadway,” Webber said. “Direc-tor Laurence Connor has done an amazing job and this production has received huge critical acclaim in the UK.”

Performances at slated for 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday, Fri-day and Saturday; 2 p.m. Satur-day; and 1 and 6:30 p.m. Sunday. To purchase tickets, visit the Civic Center Ticket Office, all Ticket-master locations, charge-by-phone at 1-800-745-3000 and online at www.desmoinesperformingarts.org. Groups of 15 or more should call (515) 246-2340.

“After a glorious celebration of 25 phenomenal years on Broadway with no end in sight, I’m delighted to be able to bring this dazzling new production of ‘Phantom’ — which has been phenomenally well-re-ceived by both audiences and crit-ics in the U.K. this past year — to North America,” Mackintosh said. “With an exciting new design and staging, retaining Maria Björnson’s amazing costumes, I am confident North American audiences will fall in love with the ‘Phantom’ in his new guise — for the first time or all over again.”

There are currently six produc-tions of “The Phantom of the Op-era” around the world: the flagship London production (27 Years and counting), New York (approaching 26 years), Budapest (Hungary),

Hamburg (Germany), the Asian Pacific Tour and the all-new North American Tour.

Since its debut, “The Phantom of the Opera” has grossed over $5.6 billion worldwide, with over 65,000 performances that have been seen by 130 million people in 29 countries and 150 cities in 13 languages. The show has won more than 70 major theater awards.

There have been three previous U.S. National Tours of “The Phan-tom of the Opera” that grossed over $1.5 billion in combined box office sales and played 216 engage-ments in 77 cities for an unprec-

edented total of 36 years and over 14,500 performances to 31 million people.

Based on the classic novel Le Fantôme de L’Opéra by Gaston Leroux, “The Phantom of the Opera” tells the story of a masked figure who lurks beneath the cata-combs of the Paris Opera House, exercising a reign of terror over all who inhabit it. He falls madly in love with an innocent young soprano, Christine, and devotes himself to creating a new star by nurturing her extraordinary talents and by employing all of the devi-ous methods at his command.

Local OpinionA Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2014

I’ve always filled the big brother type role in groups. I’m a natural protector, have great shoulders to cry on and I’m a pretty avid lis-tener.

I developed these skills over my short life-time, and I’ve had some great big brother types to look up to — in par-ticular my big cousin, Lee Artist Rushing III, — but I’ve never had a big sister type of person in my life.

The closest you could say I came is my Auntie Trish, who was a teen-ager when I was born. Aside from her, I never had that experience un-til I came to Newton and I met Mandi Lamb.

This week, Mandi is leaving her role as as-sociate editor of the Daily News to pursue a new career opportunity, after more than a decade of making sure Newtonians get their news. In her time here, she’s worked under four editors, countless staff writers and lit-erally seen and done it all as it pertains to journalism.

To put Mandi’s time here into perspective, she was hired by the late Pete Hussmann and watched the legendary John Jennings walk off into the sunset after he finally decided to leave the newspaper game behind and retire.

While you don’t see her byline in the paper quite as much as when she first started here at the Daily, Mandi is without a doubt one of the most important pieces at this paper. She makes sure our pages are sent in the morn-ing, handles a number of our weird phone calls, beats AP style into the heads of young reporters and countless other little things, some of which we don’t even realize she does.

In her role as associate editor, she’s stepped up to be the interim-editor of this newspaper twice, and has been a great intermediary be-tween the news staff and the upper manage-ment.

For me, Mandi’s been more than just my associate editor. She’s been my advice giver, a guide into this career field, someone who’s never too busy to answer the question you’ve asked her a million times and a shoulder to metaphorically cry on (I don’t cry unless death or sports are involved).

A few weeks ago, I watched the Grand Masons of Iowa perform a cornerstone cer-emony for the new Jasper County Veterans Memorial Complex on the square, which other than a funeral is the only other Ma-sonic ceremony open to the public.

To the Masons, the cornerstone symboli-cally supports an entire structure. For a stone to be used as a cornerstone, it must be judged perfect by the ancient tools of the lodge — the plumb, level and square — and it is considered to be an important piece for any structure that is placed on.

We here at the Daily News just lost our cornerstone.

I want to thank you for all you’ve done for this paper and me personally in your time here Mandi. I’m quite certain we could never replace you or your legacy at the Daily News.

I’m not sure who’s going to entertain me with tales of “Little Chucky Nephew” and bat-killing cat, or “awwww” at sad animal photos from the JCARL now.

This newsroom just won’t be the same, we’ve lost our No. 2 and I lost a big sister.

A goodbye to our cornerstone and my big sis

Usual Eccentric

By the seventh day, God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day, he rested from all of his work. And God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of cre-ating that he had done.

But on the eighth day, God awoke from a deep slumber in his bed and found his feet cold, not warm, and God lacked the companionship he so desired. God thought long and hard about how to remedy this occurrence and created a gentle beast. And God named this four-legged mongrel Dog, the reverse spelling of his own name, and God chuckled at his own clever-ness.

And God, having made man in his own image and, too, creat-ing woman, wanted man to have companionship outside of wom-an, despite her good looks and sway over man; a companion that neither nagged, nor groaned and belly-ached, or complained of the lava lamp in the living room and how it made such living quarters appear tacky. And so God creat-ed Dog. And tennis balls. And it was so, and shall always be. And God was happy.

And of all the fish in the sea, of all the beasts on the ground and of all the birds in the air, and things in between like lepre-chauns, unicorns and octopuses, God decreed this beast more special than those and granted it the ability to understand certain human commands, such as thou shall sit, or shake, or fetch or play dead — though oftentimes, Dog would not commit such ac-tions unless a treat in the shape of a bone was present or its scent upon the air.

Thus God was pleased with what he saw, but knew he could improve on perfection. And in creating various breeds of Dog,

God did not feel shame for “play-ing God” because when God starts “playing God,” it was all right because God enjoys irony. Hence in the image of Dog, God shaped different types into dif-ferent shapes, sizes and colors with different kinds of abilities: like skateboarding bulldogs and casserole-eating Doberman pin-schers, the latter to include Silas the Devil Dog.

And seeing man upset with Dog at various times, for Dog enjoyed eating thine delicious casserole off the counter when nobody was looking or urinating on the couch for no reason what-soever or gorging upon thine de-licious casserole until vomiting on the kitchen floor in the House of the Lord where man was most apt to step upon it, God created patience for man and cute doggie eyes for Dog — and the ability of Dog to crush anger with but a gleam of such wide and innocent brown eyes.

And Dog took advantage of his natural cuteness in the utmost of ways and in all self-benefiting occasions, including when thine delicious casserole had been de-voured and thus re-devoured upon the floor in the Kitchen of Eaten.

But God was vengeful, and enjoyed casserole in his belly, and so he set out vengeance against Dog.

For God knew Dog loved all the casseroles that swam in the sea, and flew in the air and walked among man upon the ground, in-cluding casseroles made of beef, and of macaroni, and of tuna, and of pizza and other delicious va-rieties. So God created one food above all others that Dog would enjoy even more than casserole. Thus God created chocolate, a food God knew Dog could not resist and would want more than even the most delicious of cas-seroles, but that of which would poison Dog if ingested, like thine forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.

And just like the enemies of the fish in the sea, birds in the air and beasts on the ground, God cre-ated Cat, bestowing upon them sweet-smelling rear-ends that

tempted Dog to violently smell and, too, granted Cat with sharp claws for eye-gouging when rear-end-smelling was ever-present. Though Cat was not enough, and God, in taking from Cat one rib, created vacuum cleaners. And of vacuum cleaners, God created couches, behind of which made perfect hiding places for Dog when vacuums swirl about in the House of the Lord.

And Dog soon loved thine owner and lived in his Father’s house, treating it as his own when his Father was at work or at the store or renting a movie, includ-ing getting upon the forbidden couch for eternal slumber though knowing such slumber upon such furniture was forbidden and punishable with the utterance of the word “Cage!” And Dog had the intelligence in thine walnut-sized brain to develop psychic ability to determine when his Father would arrive home be-fore thine Father even pulled his Grand Am out front. And Dog would hence promptly await at the door, scratching upon its surface with fevered excitement even though such activity, too, was prohibited. And, aside from the scratch marks on the door, all was well, and might remain that way so long as “Cage!” not cross the lips of our omnipotent Father in Heaven.

And so God rested warmly on the ninth day in his bed, and Dog curled up at his feet. Throughout the night, Dog made his way to the head of the bed, knowing his Father could not see him doing so, and spread out in such a fash-ion that it nearly caused his Fa-ther to fall off of the bed. And so God awoke in anger, but it was vanquished by the moist tongue of Dog and doggie breath that smelled of casserole.

And all was right with the world, and remained that way until the 10th day, when God planned on vacuuming the carpet again and making a casserole.

Amen!

This shortcoming was due to a few other mem-bers of the region not hav-ing mental health service supported employment programs, such as Progress Industries in Newton. Be-cause of this, Jasper Coun-ty was allocated additional funds to enable PI to hire both a full-time and part-time job coach.

Board chairman Joe Brock, who serves as the county’s regional repre-sentative alongside Eaton, publicly commended Ea-ton for her work and gave a brief CICSR update as well.

“It is coming together. I feel that we are working through this,” Brock said.

Brock said forming and implementing this region was a behemoth of a proj-ect, and that although there have been arguments and disagreements along the way, this was a good thing because it showed people cared.

“We are going to be able to create a better system,” Eaton said.

In other business:• A $202,900 motor

grader liability insurance payment was transferred to the secondary roads de-partment’s budget at that office’s request.

• The Jasper County Recorder’s Office August report was approved. Ac-cording to the report, it collected $17,300.09 for the month.

• The Newton Senior High School Athletics Booster Club received ap-proval to hold a taco feed on the courthouse lawn Thursday after the NHS Homecoming Parade.

• Kellogg resident Angie Dalbey-Mowbray received a fireworks permit for a birthday party on Saturday.

• Molly Illingworth was hired as a part-time jailer beginning Sept. 18 at a rate of $17.23 an hour.

• Transfer order 1332 was approved so that close to $1.3 million would be moved from a local sales services tax fund to various county accounts.

The concept she came up with for the new First Avenue West Corridor is a welcome plaza that would have com-munity space as well as interesting shop-fronts and busi-nesses to greet visitors. An amphitheater, business district, bridge beauty enhancement and bike and walking trails are also suggested for the area.

“That section of the plan is not intended to be ‘this is what we are going to do here,’ it is intended to show this is one thing that could happen here,” Chambers said. “What of this do you like, don’t you like, let’s talk about how we can really look at this area and make it a great entrance to the community.”

different solutions. In Iowa, we embrace high expectations and accountability, but we must have an approach that dignifies growth and progress as much as proficiency on a test,” said IDE Director Brad Buck.

While Buck and other of-ficials advocate for change, the results themselves show there is still work to be done within the schools.

ResultsSchools performances in

the annual report are graded via several annual measur-able objectives, which score children in math and reading, who are in the third through eighth or 11th grades.

As a district, Newton was removed from the District in Need of Assistance or DINA list in reading. In order for a district to removed from one category, it must hit its trajec-tories two years in a row.

The Newton district is, however, considered a DINA-4 district in math. Non-test related factors such as when a district does not meet the goals for district level K-8 av-erage daily attendance rates and high school graduation rates for two consecutive years, it can be identified as DINA.

Newton Senior High

School is considered a SINA-4 school in math and is on the watch list for reading. By be-ing on the watch list, it means a school didn’t hit the trajec-tory for only one year.

During the previous school year, NHS was SINA-3 in math and had been removed from the SINA list in reading.

Basics and Beyond Alter-native School was delay-3 in math, meaning the school has gone back and forth in hitting and missing trajectories, and was removed from the SINA list in reading.

Last year, Berg Middle School implemented a new online math curriculum named “digits” and early re-sults seem promising as BMS received a delay-7 in math after being labeled SINA-7 in SY 14. BMS, however, did go from SINA-8 in reading to SINA-9.

Results at the upper el-ementary level varied.

Aurora Heights Elemen-tary School, which along with Woodrow Wilson El-ementary School houses the district’s 4-6 students, was labeled SINA-2 in both math and reading. The school was previously delay-1 in both categories.

Woodrow Wilson is on the watch list for math and de-lay-1 in reading, after being removed from the SINA list in math last year and being SINA-1 in reading.

At the lower elemen-tary buildings — Berg and Thomas Jefferson elementary schools, which house the dis-trict’s K-3 students — results also came back mixed.

Thomas Jefferson met trajectory in math but was named SINA-1 in reading. This was the second year in a row Thomas Jefferson met math trajectories and it was on the watch list for reading.

Berg was placed on the watch list in math and is de-lay-1 in reading. The school met its math trajectory last year and was SINA-1 in read-ing.

Representatives for the district weren’t immediately available for comment.

Club NotesOlive Jane Lamb Questers

The Olive Jane Lamb Questers group met in the home of JoAnne Becker on Sept. 11. Members shared their adventures of the summer. In the absence of the president no formal meeting was held.

Becker gave an interesting and informative meeting on the history of cookie jars. Cookie jar history can be traced back to 18th century England where it is generally believed that they originated as “biscuit jars.” The biscuit jar eventually migrated across the Atlantic, and by the turn of the century they could be found on the counters of stores and baker-ies across America, usually filled with fresh

baked “cookies.” After the great depression mothers and

grandmothers were forced to back at home and needed suitable storage. The first ce-ramic cookie jars was introduced in 1929 in Zanesville, Ohio, and were produced by the Brush Pottery Company. Two other com-panies became popular: McCoy Potteries, American Bisque and Red Wing. Cookie jars were made in a variety of shapes and sizes. Becker shared a number of jars that belonged to friends and also had books that features pictures and prices.

The evening concluded with visiting and refreshments served by the hostess.

“(NCLB) has outlived its usefulness as a lever for improving student achievement in our county.”

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 15-year-old girl. When I’m with the high school group of kids at my church, I try to extend myself and talk, but they never reciprocate much. I always have to try to think of something to say and be careful I don’t embarrass myself. Es-pecially around guys, I feel awkward and self-conscious.

I feel OK about myself, but I still get nervous. Other girls find things to talk about to each other but not me, and guys never talk to me first, either. I don’t know if I’m doing something wrong or being too careful.

I’m an only child. I get along pretty well with adults, but I have a hard time with kids. I heard you have a booklet about these issues. If you think it might help me, how can I or-der it? — UNPOPULAR IN SAC-RAMENTO

DEAR UNPOPULAR: Part of your problem may be that you’re an only child, which can be isolating. If you spend most of your time with adults, it’s understandable that you are less comfortable with people your own age. But don’t let it stop you from try-ing to be friendly. If guys don’t speak to you first, they’re probably feeling as awkward as you are. To smile and say hello is NOT being pushy. My book-let “How to Be Popular” is filled with suggestions for polishing social skills. It covers a variety of social situations and is meant for people of all ages. To order, send your name and address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to Dear Abby Popularity Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Mor-ris, IL 61054-0447. Shipping and handling are included in the price. There are tips for becoming the kind of person other people find interest-ing, attractive and want to know bet-

ter. (If parents, teachers and clergy know someone needing help in this regard, it might make an inexpensive gift that could help change the course of that person’s life.)

The key to being well-liked by both sexes is: Be kind. Be honest. Be tactful. Don’t be afraid to give some-one a compliment if you think it’s de-served. If you think you’re not beauti-ful (or handsome), be well-groomed, tastefully dressed, conscious of your posture. (People who stand tall and smile project self-confidence.)

If you’re not a “brain,” try harder. If you are smarter than most, don’t be a know-it-all. Ask other people what they think and encourage them to share their opinions. If you’re not a good athlete, be a good sport.

Think for yourself, but respect the rules. Be generous with kind words and affectionate gestures, but respect yourself and your family values always. If you think “putting out” will make boys like you, forget it. (It won’t work, and later you’ll be glad you didn’t.) If you need help, ask God. If you don’t need anything, THANK God!

The key to being well-liked is to make yourself likable

FOR HEAVEN’S SAKE

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily NewsBar None Cowboy Church is hosting the Jasper County Chapter of Thrivent Financial’s Food Pantries Fall Con-cert Fundraiser. Ron Semler as Nearly Elvis will be performing at the event.

Thrivent food pantry fundraiser is Sunday

Area food pantries will get a boost following Sunday’s Annu-al Jasper County Food Pantries Fall Concert Fundraiser hosted by the Jasper County Chapter of Thrivent Financial.

The event is scheduled from 2 to 3:30 p.m. at the Bar None Cowboy Church, south of Cul-ver’s in Newton, 1690 W. 19th St. S. The church is inviting the public to enjoy an afternoon of relaxation and music while giving back to the community through a free will offering.

“We raise money and distrib-ute the money to them (the food pantries) so they can buy food,” Craig Peterson, Thrivent mem-ber said.

Five local food pantries will benefit from the fundraiser in-cluding the Newton Salvation Army, Monroe-Prairie City, Colfax-Mingo and Baxter as well

as the Eastern Jasper Christian Food Pantry which serves Kel-logg, Reasoner, Lynnville, Sully and Killduff. The organization used to donate food but found that the pantries could use the money to buy food in bulk at the Central Iowa Food Bank.

Performing at the concert is bluegrass gospel band Highway Home and Ron Semler, who performs gospel songs as Nearly Elvis. Highway Home is a five member band who began in Stu-dio “G” aka their garage, before moving on to family get togeth-ers, festivals, fairs and wed-dings. Semler as Nearly Elvis began in 1998 in South Dakota and has performed in Chicago, Las Vegas, Atlanta as well as all throughout the Midwest.

Through the freewill offer-ing concert fundraiser held last year at Sugar Grove Vineyards, Thrivent raised approximately $7,000 for the food pantries. Just like last year, Thrivent is set

to match up to $2,000 raised at this years event.

All donations are tax deduct-ible and if you can’t attend but would like to donate, donations can be made to Jasper County Iowa Chapter of Thrivent to Bill Bennett at 513 S. Third Ave. E., Newton, IA 50208.

The Jasper County Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lu-therans is a fraternal society. A not-for-profit organization, Thrivent Financial works to give back to the community and the causes they care about through charitable activities as well as take part in educational and so-cial events. It has also partici-pated in a playground fundraiser in Baxter, fun run in Prairie City and work at the Jasper County fair grounds in Colfax.

Thomas, Bradley, Coy, Horn earn medals at Oskaloosa Invitational

OSKALOOSA — Four Newton High runners earned medals at the 2014 Oskaloosa Invitational cross country meet Tuesday. The Cardinal teams each fi nished sixth in their re-spective divisions.

Senior Jacob Thomas turned in the top performance of the day. Thomas ran the 5K boys’ varsity race in 17 minutes, 21.1 seconds to claim fourth. Freshman Mikey Brad-ley took the 18th-place medal in 18:36.3, edged out of 17th by Caleb Boley of Albia in 18:36.1.

Newton junior Grace Coen was after her third straight win of the girls’ varsity race at Edmundson Park, but she suffered from dehy-dration and was unable to fi nish the race.

The Cardinal girls were led by se-nior Hailey Coy, who ran the 4K dis-tance in 16:54.8 fi nishing sixth. Ellie Horn was Newton’s No. 2 runner in the race Tuesday, claiming the 18th-place medal in 18:00.9.

“It’s unfortunate that Grace was not able to fi nish the race, she was sitting in a good position and worked as long as she could,” said Rachelle Tipton, NHS girls’ head coach.

“Fortunately, we have a week be-fore our next meet. The team did amazing. Hailey really broke out to-night. She wouldn’t settle and kept

moving up through the race. E l -lie really pushed tonight and ran a faster time than she did last year.”

Tessa Keeton, a freshman, and senior Autumn Hunt “ran a smart race together,” Tipton said. Keeton fi nished 42nd in 19:21.16 and Hunt was 43rd in 19:21.9. Sophomores Michaella Cope and Jordyn Soule placed 50th and 54th, respectively, in 20:03.2 and 20:52.5.

“Michaella kept moving up throughout the race and Jordyn had a strong fi nish,” Tipton said. “Marisa looked great in the junior race and Annie fought for the fi nish. She had an injury at the start of the season and missed the fi rst meet, it’s great to see her working her way back.”

Marisa Modlin, a senior, placed 27th in the junior varsity race in 21:27.0. Junior Annie Hurt was 55th in 24:17.5.

Joining Thomas and Bradley in the team scoring were sophomore Justin Fischer in 31st at 19:12.6, freshman Jack Callaghan in 35th in 19:25.1 and senior Harrison Mc-Carey in 19:39.5. McCarey was in a

Not much went right for Newton High’s Cardinals at home Tuesday. Newton faced the seventh-ranked Class 5A Southeast Polk volleyball team, and the Rams claimed a straight set win over the Cardinals.

Southeast Polk defeated Newton, 25-11, 25-15, 25-11. The Rams made a sweep of matches, winning the junior varsity contest, 25-23, 25-14, and the freshman match, 25-23, 11-25, 16-14.

“The girls were a totally different team tonight. We need to fi nd some consistency and fi ght when we are playing no matter who the team is,” said Laura Rowen, NHS head coach, of the varsity match. “We really struggled tonight with defense and blocking which we have been working quite a bit in practices.”

Newton dropped to 2-10 for the season. The Cardinals travel to Des Moines Christian Thursday for a tournament. They are back home Tuesday in Little Hawkeye Conference play

against Dallas Center-Grimes.“Tonight, we didn’t want it

enough and kind of gave up,” said Sydney Hemann, the lone senior on the NHS squad. “It didn’t come together like prac-tices did.”

Southeast Polk’s Sam Sixta opened the match by serv-ing fi ve straight points for the Rams. The Cardinals never recovered, staying within fi ve points until they gave up an-other four-point serving stint to the Rams in the fi rst set.

On a tip by Taylor Shipley, the Cardinals made it 9-5 in the second set and had the serve. Newton failed to hold its serving opportunities most of the match. The Cardinals hung in against the Rams, but could not chip away at the lead.

Shipley was serving when Kaytlin Ahn won the joust at the net with a Southeast Polk player and got a point on the tip. Newton could only muster one point at a time — either from the service line or via a sideout — except once in the match. Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News

Jousting at the net for control of the volleyball are Newton High’s Morgan Allen and Southeast Polk’s Jacey Huinker (right). Allen was able to get the tip past Huinker for a point in the third set of Tuesday’s home match against the ranked SEP Rams. Also up at the net is Newton’s Megan Press-grove (11). Southeast Polk defeated the Cardinals, 25-11, 25-15, 25-11.

PLEASANT HILL — Facing two other swim teams ranked in the top 20 power rankings for the state, NCMP had a good gage of where it is at this point in the season. The NCMP Aquagirls are right in the middle of those power rankings at No. 10 and compet-ed against No. 6 Johnston and No. 16 Southeast Polk Tuesday at Southeast Polk’s pool.

“We had a good middle of the season meet tonight. Johnston is ranked quite a bit above us in the power rankings and Southeast Polk is just be-low, so we had a lot of tough, fast races tonight,” said Sarah Patterson, NCMP head coach. “Our girls are in a requisite

stretch of training right now — we’re feeling the fatigue, but I thought they swam well.”

The Aquagirls recorded a

58-44 win over host Southeast Polk, but lost 64-38 to John-ston. Johnston defeated South-east Polk, 65-37.

NCMP’s only overall event win came in the 200-yard free-style relay race. Sara Martin, Hannah Scotton, Alexis Stout

and Samantha Hedrick won in battle in the water, touch-ing in 1 minute, 43.22 seconds, just ahead of Southeast Polk at 1:43.28 and Johnston at 1:43.87.

“Talk about fi ngernails,” Patterson said of the close race. “Every girls turned in a good leg and Samantha’s anchor time of 24.30 seconds was the fastest on all there teams.”

Hedrick had one individual event on the night as she was on three relays. She made the most of her race, taking on top-rated Allyssa Fluit from Southeast Polk. She placed second w i t h a 53.24 but had great splits and was chasing Fluit down at the end, Patterson said.

Newton: teams place sixth at OskaloosaContinued from Page 1B

COLFAX — Colfax-Mingo couldn’t turn a fast start into a victory over BGM Tuesday night.

The Bears overcame an early deficit to win their ninth in a row (25-18, 24-26, 25-12, 25-13).

The Tigerhawks scored the first seven points of the opening set be-fore hitting and serving errors derailed Colfax-Mingo.

“Our serving is very frustrating right now,” Colfax-Mingo head coach Michelle Grant said. “I don’t know if we’re just putting pressure on ourselves to make a serve. We go back there and we think about it and we think about it and we think about it and then we miss it.

“I would say our serving is where we lost every single one of those and its why the second set was so close.”

BGM Head coach Gary Schroeder credited the play of his hitters for his team’s recent success during their win-ning streak.

“We hold our composure,” Schro-eder said. “Once momentum hits, you can’t fight it. So we just take our time, ride things out and do the simple things ... and it takes a lot of luck, too.”

Nevada tops CMBBAXTER — Class 3A fifth-ranked

Nevada prevented Collins-Maxwell/

Baxter from posting its first back-to-back wins of the season Tuesday night by beating the Raiders, 25-12, 25-9, 25-7.

Erin Frances and Michaela Matus-ka led Nevada as Frances had a match-high 12 kills and Matuska had 31 as-sists.

For the Raiders, Payge Jurgens post-ed five kills, Mackenzie Schmitz had 10 assists and Toni Spencer nine digs.

“We played about as I expected,” CMB head coach Scott Ranck said. “We started off strong the first and second sets and did some things well — we hit the ball well, served well and at times passed the ball well — but the minute we made a mistake or got out of our system, they made us pay. It was just too much for us. Nevada is really good.”

CMB hosts Colfax-Mingo in its next match on Sept. 23.

South Hamilton blocks PCMMONROE — Avery Klemp and

Tiffany Jacobsen both accounted for 10 blocks each as South Hamilton handed Prairie City-Monroe a four-set defeat (19-25, 25-22, 25-11, 25-15) Tuesday night.

South Hamilton totaled a season-high 34 blocks in the match.

its fourth consecutive match Monday night by defeating Tri County, Thorn-burg, 25-12, 25-12, 25-18.

Senior Riley Rockwell totalled a sea-son-high 23 assists and six aces while senior Lysandra James and sophomore Brenna Lanser both recorded 11 kills.

All four of the Hawks’ last four wins have come in straight sets.

Daily News Sports Writer

Fran Lucas, Newton’s libero, came up with a dig that went back over the net to score a point to make it 19-13 in the second set. The Rams won 25-15.

“We need to want to play to-gether and have fun while doing it,” Hemann said of what it was going to take to turn the young Cardinal team around. “We have to play our hearts out together.”

After falling behind 6-3 in the third set, the Cardinals battled the Rams point-for-point on side-outs. They trailed 11-9, when Sixta served up seven consecutive points for the Rams, and the Cardinals had no answer.

“As a young team we are looking

for a leader attitude — an attitude where you want the ball, you want to be the playmaker, and ‘I want to put the ball away attitude,’” Row-en said. “We do not have that, and need each and every girl to dig deep and find it.”

Newton had eight service points on the night. Ahn and Shipley each served up three points while Megan Pressgrove and Bailey Davis each had one service point. Ahn had a service ace.

Pressgrove was credited with five set assists, plus she delivered four kills at the net. Ahn had four kills. Morgan Allen, Emily Fitzgerald and Hemann had one kill apiece.

Lucas came up eight digs for Newton. Allen and Pressgrove each had two digs.

In junior varsity action, Court-ney Jacobsen led the net attack for Newton with four kills followed by Alyssa Bartels and Fitzgerald with two kills each, Shipley, Adri-enne Bergman and Davis with one kill each. Elise Axtel had seven digs. Shipley made four set assists and Stephanie Hoboheinrich had three assists. Jacobsen, Shipley and Fitzgerald each had one service ace.

“The girls led both games, but due to a breakdown in serve recep-tion in the first game and missed serves towards the end of the sec-ond game, we came up short,” said Mallory Sturtz, NHS assistant coach.

“Although, the outcome was not as we hoped, the girls played well and improved as a team. I feel that

we are moving in the right direction and getting better with each match. We still need to work on finishing games when we have teams beat rather than letting them back in.”

The Newton junior varsity plays in a tournament Saturday at Des Moines East.

Jennifer Mouchka, NHS assis-tant coach, said the Cardinal fresh-men struggled with their serves on offense and serve receive in the first and third set against Southeast Polk.

“In the second set, the girls came out to play and did a great job all around. We were able to rotate most of our subs in,” Mouchka said.

Volleyball: Southeast Polk hands Newton fifth straight lossContinued from Page 1B

“I told her that my favorite part of the race was that she did not show nerves or back down before or during the race. That is the sign of a mature competitor. Sophomore Willa Colville continues to improve weekly, posting a 1:02.66 time in the event,” Patterson said.

Patterson said both Johnston and Southeast Polk are strong in the mid to distance races, so NCMP didn’t place well, but looked strong in the back half of races. Rachel Prendergast swam a smart 200 race and posted her best 2014 season time.

Freshman Jessica Zahn is making huge strides; she swam a first-time ever 2:42.92 junior varsity 200 individual medley, while also continuing to drop time in the 500 freestyle where she went a 6:19.55 for sec-ond in the junior varsity race.

Hannah Rhoads and Sierra Griffith went third and fifth in the varsity indi-vidual medley race in 2:24.16 and 2:32.13, respectively. Sydney Jenkins and Martin had fast 50 freestyle times in 26.41 sec-onds and 27.78 seconds for the varsity.

Jenkins posted her fastest time of the season, 1:05.07, in placing second in the varsity backstroke race and Rachel Prend-

ergast was fourth in 1:08.14. Sarah Pren-dergast swam in the 100 backstroke event for the first time and played second in the junior varsity race.

Rhoads and Griffith went second and third in the varsity breaststroke event. Scot-ton and Martin were second and fourth in the varsity 100 butterfly with Martin re-cording her personal-best time of 1:05.06.

“Our divers continue to be a high-light for us, with freshman Morgann Eide placing second in a strong field and notching her best score to date with a score of 208.85,” Patterson said. “Anna Barr won the junior varsity event handily with a score of 137.20.”

In an exciting and close race to finish out the night, the NCMP foursome of Scotton, R. Prendergast, Jenkins and Hed-rick finished second in the 400 freestyle re-lay. Southeast Polk, which is ranked in the top three in the state in the event, won it.

Emily Miller and S. Prendergast notched a 1-2 finish in the junior varsity 100 butterfly for the Aquagirls. Stout took third in the junior varsity 100 freestyle in 1:01.15, while teammate Morgan Altman was sixth in a personal-best time in 1:08.90.

NCMP will not be going to Saturday’s Marshalltown Invitational.

Astrograph

The opposition of Venus to the comet Chiron trains our eye on author-ity figures. We’re not likely to follow the leader until that person proves worthy. Here’s one way to determine whether a leader is any good: A bad leader will blow little problems and concerns out of proportion. A good leader focuses on the big picture and doesn’t sweat the small stuff.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 17). You’ll share your solutions with the world, and people will employ a few of them and be better as a result. This is what matters to you: making a difference in the lives of others. A wrong will be righted next month. Fund-ing comes through in November. February and May bring excitement to your private life. Cancer and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 45, 2, 21, 19 and 50.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Be careful not to condemn those who don’t live up to your standards. Their standards are different. Besides, you

attract what you judge. Because you also attract what you admire, turn your attention there.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The work you’ve done deserves notice, and you deserve to be acknowledged and respected. When the soldiers aren’t lined up to salute you, salute your-self. That’s the salute that matters most.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You’ll be in the mood to make your home more comfortable, but before you take out your wallet, just know that you may not use items that require you to go too far out of your routine.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You may be skeptical as to the com-petence of those around you, but sometimes it’s better to give people the benefit of the doubt. Keep your eye on the goal, and move forward with the team you have.

CAPRICORN (Dec.22-Jan. 19). You have your ambitions, but this is a good time to check

them against the reality of what will likely be your day-to-day doings when you achieve these goals. More responsi-bility often means less personal freedom.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your mod-esty amongst a group of competitive individuals is admirable. It shows that you’re not threatened, that you’re confident in your skills, and that you’d rather be a team player.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). An ongoing conflict will go on no more. The resolution may not be ideal, but the benefits to getting this over with are far better than those any continual argument would yield.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You need things to try to stop you; other-wise, you won’t know how powerful you are. Also, to get an accurate gauge, the obstacle must be formidable. Easy wins will teach you very little.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Most people would

benefit from being less selfish; however, you will benefit from being more selfish, as you’ve been basing your self-worth (at least to some extent) on how well you please others.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Any child can become impatient and throw a tantrum. Mature people keep their cool. The payoff for doing so will be huge. It will help to bring something to do while you’re waiting.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Tenacity is only a good quality to apply to situations that are worth holding on to. Some things deserve to be quit. Some things need letting go of. Giving up can be an act of grace.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Yes, you’ve grown personally more power-ful, and guess what else? Someone is dreaming about you. How strange is it to be influencing the psyche of another even as this person sleeps?
