On any given Satur-day, you can hear the sounds of repeated gun shots echo throughout the west side of Newton as members of the Jas-per County Gun Club trap shoot on farm land owned by the Maytag family.

Many shooters, pri-marily men but a few women, participate in trap shooting at the small facility on the outskirts of the city limits.

Groups of five stand in a row and one-at-a-time shoot a clay pigeon released from an auto-matic trap. The shoot-ers rotate after five pi-geons until they’ve each shot at 25 and then the flight is over.

The JCGC was first

organized more than 80 years ago by Fred May-tag and although par-ticipation has declined, it still has more than 40 members who meet on Saturday and Sundays to shoot and socialize.

Newton resident Gordon Jackson, 84, has been shooting at

the club since the late 40s when he started go-ing with his uncle Bill Kreager.

“It’s the type of thing you get hooked on,” he said. “I usually go ev-ery Saturday but not so much in the spring and fall.”

Jackson has spent

his life working on the farm. He farmed more than 1,000 acres of corn and soybeans on his land in southwest New-ton and is still farm-ing 200 acres to stay busy. But when he’s not

UNDEFEATEDNewton Cardinals start 4-0 for first time since 2011.

Complete coverage of homecoming win against Benton inside today.

Kate Malott/Daily News84-year-old Gordon Jackson stands outside his farm with his Jasper County Gun Club Championship trophy. Jackson won the county and senior trophy at the annual event on Sept. 13. His name is also the first name on the trophy for his win in 1950.

Jackson wins county championship Newton school official downs No Child Left Behind,

proud of local results

The Iowa Department of Education released its Annual Yearly Progress Report Tuesday — which is like its grade card for schools and school districts — and Newton had several schools deemed “in need of assistance,” in either math or reading.

As a whole, the district was considered in need of assis-tance in math.

Newton wasn’t alone in struggling to meet the 100 percent proficient benchmark required by the No Child Left Behind Act — whose mea-sures IDE uses to develop its annual report — as more than 50 percent of schools in the state are considered SINA.

State officials, such as IDE Director Brad Buck, have spoken out against it saying that NCLB has outlived its usefulness. Locally, Jim Gilbert, asso-ciate director for elementary education services for the Newton Community School District, agrees.

“All this No Child Left Behind stuff, it was a good idea at its conception. Now, we are in 2014 where the trajectory targets are at 100 percent,” Gilbert said.

“What they are saying is that all students, in all subgroups, in all schools — 100 percent of those students should be proficient in math, reading and science. That is the difficulty. As you approach that 100 percent, it just becomes more statistically im-probable.”

Gilbert explained that this was a difficult thing to accomplish because students develop at different rates and times, and some work better with certain learning styles than others do.

“The analogy would be to say that in 2014 every-one will be able to dunk a basketball, or run a four minute mile or whatever analogy you want to make. The fact is that we got kids coming from different backgrounds, with different learning abilities and some have disabilities and its our job to make sure all those kids meet their potential, and really that’s what we should be measuring,” Gilbert said.

Although results from within the district weren’t ideal in the broad sense, Gilbert said he is proud of how the students fared, and feels that more atten-tion should be to positive notes. He also pointed out in a lot of cases it was the sub-groups that may have caused a building to miss its trajectory.

Supervisors to vote on contract for $55K loan for 911 upgrade

The final step in a loan agreement needed to make upgrades to the 911 phone system at the Jasper County Law Enforcement Center is set to take place at Tuesday’s Jasper County Board of Su-pervisors meeting.

Ed Roach, of the 911 com-mission, originally approached

the board to seek approval for a $55,000 loan that the com-mission would agree to repay the county within two years.

The JCLEC houses the county’s sheriff ’s office, jail and dispatch, which in turns serves as dispatch for every law enforcement office within the county. Members of the 911 commission have stated they felt the current emer-gency phone system in place

is outdated and this upgrade is needed

“This is very imperative that we change this telephone system. I mean, we are having some troubles — otherwise, I wouldn’t be up here asking,” Roach previously told the board.

Terms of the loan contract state the county won’t charge the commission any interest on the loan and that if somehow

the commission failed to repay the loan in the allotted amount of time, the commission agrees to pay any debts the county in-curs in the process of trying to collect upon the loan.

While a verbal agreement was previously reached, if this contact is approved, it won’t be the first time the county has agreed to loan the commis-sion money to finish a project. A similar loan was provided in

the late ‘80s and in 2005, the county loaned the commission $100,000 to build the law en-forcement center.

The state of Iowa has over-sight of the commission made up of community members from every municipality in the county. It receives its funding quarterly form the surcharge

Mediterranean Diet & Slimmer Kids

A new study suggests that children who eat a Mediterranean-style diet may have a reduced risk of being overweight or obese when compared to other kids. Researchers analyzed the eating habits of 9,000 children from dif-ferent countries and found that those who followed a diet rich in fish, nuts, veg-etables, fruits and grains were 15% less likely to be overweight or obese com-pared to their peers who didn’t. These findings were true regardless of age, sex, wealth or country of origin. The study is preliminary, but experts say, consider-ing its potential beneficial effects, it could be a use-ful strategy in preventing childhood obesity.

Local OpinionPage 4A Monday, Sept. 22, 2014

When I was a child I enjoyed writing so much that I developed what my mother said was a “writer’s bump” on my finger where I held my pencil.

I appreciated the act of just writing letters, and I would copy down song lyrics, favorite passages from books and credits of my favorite movies. Later, I would enjoy writing my own stories, both truth and fiction.

I really got into jour-nalism because I liked to write, and I like to tell stories. Later I would enjoy uncovering stories and investigating.

I found my stride somewhere in between writing features and breaking news. I have found some joy, and some hardships, in help-ing young reporters find their own stride.

I’m often asked what my most memorable experience has been as a journalist. The ques-tion again surfaced this week from a college student who emailed me hoping I could help with a class project.

While I’ve met hundreds of fascinating people and heard countless incredible, in-spiring, horrifying and tragic stories, one ex-perience clearly stands out above the others.

It was four years ago when I embed-ded with an Iowa National Guard unit on a training mission before it was deployed to Afghanistan. Members of the media were invited to Camp Ripley in Minnesota where the training occurred before the largest de-ployment of the Iowa National Guard since World War II.

Nearly 3,000 Iowa soldiers were trained and mobilized.

While reporters were given a firsthand look at the training and preparations for war, we were challenged to prepare the soldiers for media presence as reporters and pho-tographers are often embedded with troops while they are in theater.

The Guard flew us in a Chinook to the training facility, which in and of itself was an amazing experience. I thought at the time maybe that would be the highlight of the trip.

I had prepared for the worst since we weren’t sure how we would be divided among the units upon arrival. We were told there was a possibility of sleeping outdoors, and weath-er might range from extreme heat to rain. As is often the case for me, I over packed.

I struggled with my bags to the point where one of the soldiers, a young woman, offered to help me. She was dressed in full uniform and already carrying 60 pounds of gear on her.

I would later find out that this same young woman was taking part in the training mis-sion the same weekend her son turned 3. When she deployed to Afghanistan she would leave him, and a 6-year-old daughter at home.

I was also assigned with a senior leader of the platoon who had 20 years of Army ex-perience and several deployments under his belt. At home, he had a wife and six children.

There a number of significant moments I observed during the battle drills — how the soldiers learned from an Afghanistan native who had fought against the Taliban, their hands-on experience in operating a vehicle check point, the meticulous train-ing on improvised explosive devices and how serious a young soldier’s face becomes when he practices the art of loading up fel-low soldiers killed in combat.

As it turned out, I needed both the per-sonal side of the their stories and the first-hand experience of watching the realities of war to gain the kind of appreciation I now have for our troops.

I remember visiting with a chaplain who said one of the hardest things for soldiers is keeping focused on their mission. He said that support from home was one of the most critical keys to success.

To this day I have a hard time not think-ing about those soldiers and their families. Remembering their sacrifice helps me keep perspective. Not only did they show me what’s it ’s like to prepare for war, they uncovered for me what true courage looks like.

The Newton Arboretum & Botanical Gardens are another one of Newton’s best kept se-crets in town that every-body knows. Let’s “Get to Know New-ton” and the Newton Ar-boretum!

If you don’t know where it’s lo-cated, head to the north-east edge of town, or travel east on First Avenue, go to Iowa Speedway Drive, turn left and turn left again at North Fourth Avenue East. Or, if you’ve ever been to Agnes Patterson Park or to the sporting fields out there or the hike/bike trail, you went right past it.

Now that you know where to find the Newton Arboretum, what is there to see? The Arbo-retum occupies six acres of land in the southeast portion of Agnes Patterson Memorial Park, and was developed and is managed by Project AWAKE.

More than 185 individual trees of 150 species cover the grounds. The park is filled with demon-stration beds including three an-nual beds, a mixed perennial bed, an ornamental grass bed, a rose bed, two woody shrub beds, a shade garden, a tulip bed, a hy-brid rose bed, a butterfly garden, a water garden and a native prairie.

The park also has a large pond

and more than 3,000 feet of hard surface trails. Other focal points include the Betty Allen Gazebo, the Smith Garden Arbor, the Swanger Bow Bridge and numer-ous sculptures. However, as a dis-claimer for me, some of the plant-ings just listed may have changed from year to year depending on the growing seasons.

You’ll also find the Daniel J. Krumm Horticultural Learning Center located in the arboretum. The facility was built in 1999-2000, serves as the headquarters for Project AWAKE as well as the Newton Parks and Commis-sion Office. The building is used to hold various types of educa-tional horticulture seminars and also has a small library that’s open to the public. I might add, the Krumm Center is also regu-larly rented out to hold meetings, graduations and weddings at a very reasonable price.

Since 1981, Project AWAKE has been an active force in the community as a 501-(c)(3) public charity. The Arboretum is main-tained by a volunteer board of di-rectors and the “Friends” of Proj-ect AWAKE — All volunteers are working for the residents of the Newton area out of love for their community. Funding is provided solely from private donations from individuals and businesses as well as grants from conserva-tion and environmental groups. No tax dollars are used to support the organization or maintenance of the Newton Arboretum and Botanical Gardens or the impor-tant role it continues to play in

our community. Both donations and volunteerism are greatly wel-comed, needed and appreciated in order to keep such a beautiful attraction in Newton.

The arboretum is a very relax-ing place to stroll leisurely, exer-cise briskly, spend time with your family or just enjoy nature. Many individuals have given memo-rial gifts to Newton Arboretum that have added to the ambience of such beautiful gardens. The arboretum is a favorite of many motorcoach tours throughout the growing season. I’ve heard from many tour planners that they can’t believe such a lovely place is in a community of our size.

Generally we have the group tours enjoy refreshments and a quick welcome by Newton Ad-ministrative Parks Superinten-dent, Nathan Unsworth; and then release them to walk the gardens and learn about all the plant life. Even last year when it was a drought, the gardens were beau-tifully maintained … the grass, not so much; but who had really green lush grass last year? I know I didn’t!

If you have never enjoyed the Newton Arboretum & Bo-tanical Gardens, or if it’s been a while since you’ve been out there, think about visiting soon and reacquainting yourself with just one more beautiful attrac-tion we have right in our back-yard!

Last year all four elementary buildings met the math trajectory, but only Thomas Jefferson Elementary School did this year.

Aurora Heights Elementary School is labeled a SINA-2 school this year in both math and reading, how-ever, Gilbert pointed out that the school missed its math trajectory due to the special education and socioeconomic (free and reduced lunch) sub-groups.

Berg Elementary missed its mark overall and in the socioeconomic sub-group, and Woodrow Wilson missed because of the special education sub-group.

“The schools that missed it for example, Woodrow Wilson, Berg, Aurora Heights, they were all right at 80 percent or above proficient,” Gilbert said.

After seven years, Berg Middle School made it off of the SINA list in math. Gilbert partially credits this turn around due to the district’s Everyday Math, a mathemat-ics curriculum the district implemented at the K-6 level several years ago.

“The students they are receiving now (at BMS) have had Everyday Math for three years now, and so they are receiving students who have been exposed to much higher rigor and much higher demands in mathematics,” Gilbert said.

BMS also began using the online math curriculum “digits” last year, and Gilbert believes that system and the way the staff at BMS have implemented it have also led to the positive results.

Just last year the district upgraded to a new reading curriculum called Reading Wonders at the K-6 level. He said while they are seeing success with the Everyday Math program now, it took time and he’s hoping to see similar results with Reading Wonders as students rise through the ranks.

At Newton Senior High School, he said students scored above 80 percent in both the reading and math trajectories, but the socioeconomic sub-group is what caused the building to go on the watch list — meaning it missed trajectory for one year — for reading and SINA list for math.

“When you put this kind of data out, you have to put it into context so that the teachers in the community don’t get down. Our teachers and our students are doing a pret-ty darn good job. It’s the No Child Left Behind measure-ment that has outlived its purpose really,” Gilbert said.

“It’s become archaic and it just doesn’t fit anymore. So we can’t let that really hide the fact that we are doing a pretty good job at our public schools here in Newton,” he said.

But when he’s not farm-ing, he enjoys the sport of trap shooting along with the com-pany of other club members.

“We got a pretty good group of guys here,” he said. “They come from all over.”

The JCGC is home to the sport for central Iowa shooters from cities like Des Moines, Marshalltown, Knoxville and, of course, Newton.

Every year the club hosts an annual competition to de-termine the best shooter in the county and last Saturday, Gordon Jackson won the 2014 Jasper County Gun Club Trap Shoot Champion trophy. It’s his seventh county champion-ship. He won the first Jasper Country trophy in 1950, be-fore heading to Korea for the

war in 1951.Once president of the

JCGC, Jackson now acts as a trustee and a respected shooter amongst his peers.

“Gordon has an unnatural appetite for Model 12 Win-chester shotguns,” secretary/treasurer Dale Ballard of Mar-shalltown said. “He’s a great guy and shooter, been coming here since I can remember.”

Club member Ilene Jones agreed.

“Gordon’s a real nice guy. He’s been here forever,” she said.

“He’s always taking home five or six trophies,” club pres-ident Walt Gaskins of Des Moines said.

Gordon, who many friends refer to as Gordy, has seen changes over the years at the gun club. Jackson remembers the days when Fritz Maytag and his boys would come out

and shoot at the club in the 50s. There has also been an in-crease in the number of com-petition targets, the variety of gun models and the use of the automated trap.

The Jasper County Gun Club isn’t just a place for sport but it’s a place for old friends to socialize. Many shooters come early to get settled in, drink coffee and visit with friends before getting ready for a flight and often times stay into the late afternoon.

Older shooters who are not able to shoot anymore come out to take score or grill hot dogs over the lunch hour, still involved in the sport.

“It’s been a good old gun club over the years,” he said. “I really like it.”

DEAR ABBY: What are the ethics in outing a cheater? Someone I know has been cheated on by her boyfriend for two years — about as long as she has been with him. I know this be-cause the woman he has been cheating with is someone I know.

Last week, I told the girl her boy-friend has been cheating. Now I am suddenly a pariah and outcast. I felt she had the right to know, but was I wrong? Should I not have told her? — ANNOYED IN CHICAGO

DEAR ANNOYED: In this age of social diseases, I don’t think it’s wrong to tell someone that a boyfriend/girl-friend is cheating so he or she can be tested. However, as you have discov-ered, doing it is risky.

There’s a saying, “Don’t shoot the messenger,” that’s been around for-ever. It implies that a person who de-livers unwelcome news will be blamed for it. While you and I would want to be told that we were being betrayed, obviously, your former friend didn’t, which is why you’re being punished.

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I live in a duplex. We manage it, live in the lower unit and have three tenants upstairs.

One of them, whose bedroom is directly above ours, recently got a girlfriend. Aside from some loud video game- playing, he was always the quietest guy and has never been disruptive. But since he and this girl got together, they have been disturb-ing the entire house with their noisy lovemaking. It starts with a few bangs against the wall that become constant, and then the screams start.

I have no idea how to approach this respectfully and professionally. Please give me your thoughts. — BOTH-ERED IN BOZEMAN, MONT.

DEAR BOTHERED: Write the tenant a short letter explaining that there is now a noise problem that didn’t exist before. Explain that the

screams of ecstasy have awakened you and your boyfriend more than once, and ask him to “lower the volume.” If an accommodation can’t be reached, the lovebirds might want to consider moving to a place of their own.

DEAR ABBY: I have been frugal all my life. I have managed to accumu-late a cushion should I become ill or need money for emergencies.

My oldest daughter is the exact opposite. She makes stupid financial decisions and has lost thousands of dollars. She recently called, begging me to get her out of a financial jam she has gotten herself into. I refused because the amount she needs would cost me almost all of my savings.

Now my other children have stopped speaking to me. They say I should give her the money. What are your thoughts on this? — PRUDENT MOM IN FLORIDA

DEAR PRUDENT MOM: My thoughts are the same as yours. If your other children are determined that their sister should be bailed out, then they should pool their money and give it to her. But for you to give her your life savings with no guarantee that it will be repaid would be a bad finan-cial decision on your part. I hope you won’t allow yourself to be blackmailed into what could literally be sacrificing your future.

Branstad, Hatch face off in debate in Burlington

B U R L I N G T O N (AP) — Republican Gov. Terry Branstad and Democratic challenger Jack Hatch clashed over how to create jobs and boost incomes in the state Saturday during their second debate.

They faced off at a middle school in Burling-ton, in the southeastern part of the state. Their hourlong debate before an audience of at least 500 focused on economic development issues.

Branstad, who is run-ning for an unprecedent-ed sixth non-consecutive term, said job creation has boomed under his watch, an accomplishment he said he’s “really proud of.”

But Hatch, a long-time state lawmaker from Des Moines, argued that Branstad is exaggerat-ing jobs numbers. He said “even a fifth-grader knows you have to sub-tract what you’ve lost.”

Branstad, 67, counts the number of jobs added during his tenure, but not the jobs lost. By his count, the state has added more than 150,000 jobs since January 2011, but the net gain in jobs has been about 77,300, according to data from the Iowa Workforce Development.

Several recent polls have showed Branstad with a commanding lead in the race. Branstad had more than $4 million in his campaign account in mid-July. Hatch had less than $200,000 at that

time.H a t c h ,

64, said he favored rais-ing the state m i n i m u m wage, pro-viding sup-port to small b u s i n e s s e s and provid-ing tax cuts geared at

middle-class residents. He offered a plan to create four regional economic development authorities around the state to help grow busi-nesses and jobs.

“What we need in the next governor must lead Iowa to the next genera-tion of jobs, that will be an explosion of econom-ic opportunity,” Hatch said. “To get there we have to do something different, build the economy from the com-munity up, not from the top down.”

A focus at Skiff Med-ical Center has been the financial department and where procedures can be streamlined and bet-ter applied to save both time and money. In sev-eral areas, through many changes, the department is making headway.

“I’m fairly confident that we will certainly do much better than bud-get,” said Jeanne Goche, interim chief adminis-trative officer.

A step the hospi-tal took in April was to bring back self pay to

the hospital, instead of having it outsourced. As a part of that process, patients have to be noti-fied for 120 days of their statement before it can be sent to collections. When brought back in house, that time had to start over.

“Services had that ac-count for six months, we couldn’t prove that they had sent statements or they had pursued, so we literally had to start the clock over. (We) hap-pily report we are pretty current at this point, our 120 days have elapsed,” said Karri Woody, direc-tor of financial at Skiff.

Another area of focus is improving the front end, in terms of getting money in. To help with that, secretaries that are in the emergency depart-ment will begin doing some bed side registra-tion. To assist in the pro-cess a new work station on wheels, or ‘WOW’ as it is nicknamed, is avail-able with a scanner for cards and a cash drawer to be able to take co-pays.

Employees are also being cross-trained to do pre-registrations, which used to be standard, but had gone away in recent years. The patient will

get a call about their up-coming appointment as well as any instructions they need and will also be asked about their de-mographics.

“(We are) doing ev-erything we can to get all of the billing informa-tion correct the first time and faster than what we are doing it now, so we can those bills out the door correctly and avoid the revenue cycle noise of incorrect information on the back end,” Goche said. “As we are getting this all in place, we will be putting into place with the central schedul-ing piece, moving central

scheduling function over into a kiosk in the New-ton Clinic and hopefully encouraging and being more customer oriented for our patients when they are getting referred to us by the Newton Clinic physicians.”

The cancer clinic will now have a full-time staff member with its own secretary as well as borrowing another sec-retary when available. The physical medicine and rehabilitation will also have a sign-in area downstairs, so patients do not have to travel up-stairs to sign-in.

With a lot of changes

and staff members re-ceiving new responsi-bilities, communication and clear management has been a top priority.

“Keeping the lines of communications open so when there is oppor-tunities that do present themselves we maximize those opportunities,” Woody said.

“I’ve never seen a restructuring go as smoothly as this one ap-pears to be going right now,” Goche said.

Man shot by Des Moines officers has died

DES MOINES (AP) — A man who Des Moines officers shot after they said he menaced them with a knife and wouldn’t put it down has died, police said.

The man, Brian Lee Beeler of Des Moines, died at 3:30 a.m. Sun-day, Sgt. Jason Halifax said in a news release.

Halifax said Officer

Peter Wilson and Offi-cer Cody Willis remain on administrative leave and the internal inves-tigation of the shooting will continue.

Police had said ear-lier that two officers sent to investigate a re-port of a domestic dis-pute Wednesday night met a woman and her 41-year-old nephew. The officers said the

man had two knives in his waistband and wouldn’t obey their or-ders.

He grabbed one knife and moved to-ward the officers, they said. One officer fired a stun gun at the man but missed. The officers said Beeler kept mov-ing toward them, so they fired their hand-guns.

Old Sioux City riverboat casino to be removed soon

SIOUX CITY (AP) — The former Argosy riverboat casino is sup-posed to be removed from its Sioux City dock before the end of this month, but local officials are not sure that will happen.

Sioux City Mayor Bob Scott said he’s concerned the old ca-sino won’t be gone by

the Sept. 28 deadline.The casino closed

July 30 after losing a lengthy court fight to remain open. It remains moored on Larsen Park Road and was replaced in August with a new land-based Hard Rock Casino in Sioux City.

Scott said the com-pany that owns the casino, Penn National,

may try to argue that 60-day deadline for re-moval didn’t start until a Sept. 4 court ruling instead of beginning after the casino closed.

Penn National spokeswoman Karen Bailey said the com-pany is working on re-moving the old casino, but she declined to dis-cuss specific plans.

65 years and going strong

Even as the oldest drive-in in Iowa, Valle Drive-In hasn’t seen too many changes in its 65 years.

The marquee that greets customers and the building which holds the projector and concession stand are both orig-inals from 1949, put up by the first owner Sam Roads.

The customers have changed through out the years, but are trending back to those who originally parked their cars a took in the double feature.

“When it first opened, it was all family business, people with kids, then it kind of drifted away from that but it’s back to 95 to 99 percent of the busi-ness is family business again,” said Jim Mertz, who has been the owner since 1976. “A lot of young kids come all of the time, families and they have a good time.”

With all of the relics from when it first opened, the the-ater has stayed up-to-date, ac-quiring a digital projector for the 2014 season and broadcast-ing digital sound over the radio.

The Valle still has the box speakers available in the first four rows, the only drive-in in Iowa to do so.

The theater, which is open from April until October, has weathered many storms, in-cluding those in the economy.

“In the last 10 to 12 years it has been pretty steady,” Mertz said.

A true storm did blow down the screen, which used to be

built with wood, in the early 1980s.

Now in his third screen, Mertz said it is built with steel, which withstands more se-vere weather than the wooden structure.

Mertz has spent most of his life working at theaters, start-ing in Webster City.

“I started in 1954 working for a theater chain out of Min-neapolis that owned about 20 theaters in Iowa and one of them was a drive-in and two indoor theaters in Webster City, Iowa,” Mertz said. “ After a year or two I was the assis-tant manager and basically in charge of the drive in during the summer. In 1959, they sent me to Perry, Iowa and I was a manager over the indoor and outdoor theater there. In 1964,

I bought the theaters there and continued to run those, then I bought this drive-in in 1976.”

Mertz has about 12 to 14 part-time staffers during the summer months. Most of the staff start working while they are in high school, as a sum-mer job and return every sum-mer until graduation. Mertz has even had employees start in high school and keep coming back until they have graduated college.

From starting with two pro-jectors running on film that was manned through the whole film to a completely automated digital system, the Valle Drive-In has kept up without losing the charm.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily NewsNewton defensive end Jordan Travis (84) blocks the punt of Benton Bobcat’s Tucker Schroeder (88) in the second quarter of Friday night’s Class 3A District 6 contest at Newton’s H.A. Lynn Stadium. The blocked punt was recovered by the Cardinals, setting up their second touchdown of the game. Newton decked Benton, 45-6.

Cardinals overpower Bobcats in district play

Not since 2011 has Newton High’s football team been 4-0 to start a season. The Cardi-nals manhandled the visiting Benton Community Bobcats of Van Horne Friday night for a homecoming victory.

Nick Easley leaping in the air to snatch the football out of the air over a Benton de-fender, Jordan Travis block-ing a punt and Bryce Tish recovering the football, Tish intercepting a pass, the run-ning of Tristan Peters, Tyler Wood, Joseph Banfi eld and J.T. Thongvanh and 22 play-ers in on at least one tackle apiece were all highlights for Newton Friday night.

Then there’s the big guys up

front on the offense and defen-sive lines. It all came together in a 45-6 victory package for the Cardinals over the Bob-cats. The Cardinals are 4-0, but more importantly is a 2-0 start in Class 3A District 6 play.

“It was our homecoming game and that’s was a big plus,” said Brett Wolf, senior linebacker, who led the Car-dinal defense with six solo tackles and two assisted tack-les. “(Benton) was a mostly run team and our coaches did a great job of preparing us for that.”

The Cardinal defense held the Bobcats to 158 yards on 45 carries in the game. Ben-ton was 1-of-4 for four yards passing on the night.

“We came in with a good defensive set up and played

hard,” said Michael Barr, senior linebacker. “Our of-fense was defi nitely clicking and defensively, we made a lot of third-down stops that helped.”

How well was the Newton offense “clicking?” Newton piled up 293 yards rushing on 37 carries. Wood, Cardinal senior quarterback, led the at-tack with 96 yards on 14 car-ries, plus completed 6-of-9 passes for 115 yards.

Banfi eld gained 92 yards on six carries while Peters and Thongvanh each rushed for more than 40 yards. Easley gathered in three passes for 77 yards and Peters had two catches for 33 yards.

“It was a game we expected to win, and I’m happy with the way our guys played tonight,”

said Ed Ergenbright, Newton head coach. “We were solid on defense, lining up quick against the hurry-up. Offen-sively, we were effective.”

Newton was stopped deep in Bobcat territory on its fi rst possession of the game. Its second possession began with 5:20 left in the fi rst quarter and ended on the fi rst play of the second period.

Wood converted on a fourth-and-goal at the 2-yard line, diving into the end zone for a touchdown. Easley’s kick made it 7-0. It was Eas-ley’s high, leaping catch for 36 yards that sparked the drive.

Benton had a promise of a good drive that the Bob-cats sabotaged with penalties, forcing a fourth down. Ben-ton works on a hurry-up style

and was penalized through-out the game for illegal pro-cedure. Bobcat punter Tucker Schroeder took the snap, but Travis got there to block the football as it came off Schro-eder’s foot. Tish recovered the football for Newton at Ben-ton’s 19.

Four plays later, Peters bolted through traffi c up the middle to the end zone from eight yards out. Easley’s kick made it 14-0 at the 5:49 mark of the second quarter.

“The line blocked really well, opening holes for us. We just had to hit the holes and make a move to gain yards,” Peters said. “It all starts with the line.”

Raiders stay undefeated with non-district win

BAXTER – Slowing Nevada’s rushing attack provided a good start. Scoring 27 second-half points ensured a strong fi nish.

Facing one of the state’s best running backs, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter contained Nevada’s primary offensive threat most of the night and made the most of its own offensive weapons en route to a 34-19 victory over the visiting Cubs.

Playing two quarterbacks for the fourth straight game, CMB junior Nate Bishop re-placed sophomore Hunter McWhirter at the start of the second half with a 7-6 lead. Whether Bishop provided a needed spark or not, he led the offense to four touchdowns on the Raiders’ fi rst fi ve possessions after halftime.

“At halftime, coach said our offense needs to pick it up. Our defense is doing real well. They’re stopping (Nevada’s) run game, the pass game,” said CMB junior Brady Stover, who caught three second-half touchdown passes from Bishop. “We really got our stuff together offensively at half-time.”

CMB’s success against Nevada stemmed from making and preventing big plays. Stover scored the Raiders’ fi rst touchdown after halftime on a

Sportscalendar third-and-5 play that covered 52

yards. The next offensive possession ended when Bishop connected with Stover again, this time on a play that went for 41 yards.

Stover finished with a game-high 167 receiving yards on six catches.

“Bishop made some really good throws and our playmakers went and made plays,” CMB head coach Rob Luther said.

Then there was the defense, tasked with preventing Nevada running back Chase Dobson from doing what he’s done to so many other defenses before. Dobson led class 2A with 2,057 rushing yards last year and ran for more than 200 yards in each of the first two games of this season. He thrashed the Raiders in the teams’ two previous meetings, running for 209 yards and two touchdowns in 2013 and 183 yards and two touch-downs in 2012.

Friday night was different. Dob-son totaled 101 yards, his 18 100-yard performance in 25 games, but he needed 21 carries to get there. The resulting 4.8 yards per carry average was his second-lowest average in any of his 100-plus yard games.

“I think we stopped him pretty

well tonight,” said CMB senior Bryce Kemp, who had a team-high 11 tack-les while compiling 137 yards receiv-ing. “He had a couple nice runs, but overall I think we did a really good job.”

Added Luther: “We were definite-ly aware of where he was all night.”

Trailing 20-6 in the third quarter, Nevada started building momentum. The Cubs traveled 83 yards on seven plays, the last a 12-yard touchdown run by Dobson. The drive seemed significant not only because Ne-vada pulled within one possession of CMB, but because Dobson, who ripped off a 46-yard run on the drive to get his team into Raider territory, appeared to be warming up.

“We knew he was going to make a play. We didn’t know how many he was going to make,” CMB senior Clayton Weltha said. “We were just trying our best to shut him down.”

Nevada’s momentum was short-lived. On the first play of CMB’s ensuing possession, and with six seconds left in the third quarter, the Raiders used deception to their ad-vantage. Bishop found Kemp, who initially stayed near the line of scrim-mage as a blocker on the play, wide open down the middle of the field for a 61-yard gain.

CMB running back Blake Coughenour scored on a 2-yard run on the next play, the first of the fourth quarter, for a 27-13 lead.

“That was probably the biggest play of the game,” Luther said of Bishop’s pass to Kemp late in the third. “They never got the momen-tum back after that one.”

Bishop finished the game 7-of-10 for 238 yards while throwing three touchdowns.

McWhirter, who played the entire first half, completed seven of his 12 pass attempts for 80 yards. He found Kemp from three yards out for the game’s first touchdown in the second quarter.

While Luther attributed some of his team’s improved second-half offensive play to the quarterback switch, he also was happy with the adjustments made in the locker room.

“It might have been one of the best halftimes we’ve had in a long time with coaches coaching up, mak-ing the adjustments, understanding what they were doing and attacking that,” Luther said. “I feel really good with our coaches and what we did and then our kids executing it.”

MONTEZUMA — Mike Par-kinson believes in Lynnville-Sully’s football team. The Hawks’ head coach knows it has been tough on the players as they’ve dropped the first four games of the season.

“We knocked on the door a couple times Friday night on of-fense. We just haven’t been able to finish drives,” Parkinson said of the Hawks’ 25-0 loss to host Montezu-ma in Class A District 7 action.

“I tell the kids to continue to push forward and stay positive. We played pretty well against a very good Montezuma team. We see progress.”

Montezuma’s Braves scored on two long touchdown runs — 86 yards by Mike Lyons and 64 yards by Mitch Stevens — to power their offensive output. Stevens was the workhorse for the Braves, gaining 239 yards on 34 carries and had two touchdowns. Logan Price had an 11-yard scoring run.

The Braves were up 6-0 after on quarter and led 18-0 at halftime. Lynnville-Sully held Montezuma to seven points in the second half.

“Our kids were feeling confident after the game. We’re working to have more consistency on both sides of the football,” Parkinson said.

Sage Ehresman returned to the field for Lynnville-Sully after an injury sidelined him for two weeks. Parkinson said Ehresman ran hard. He said Blake Wehrle, Noah Zyls-tra and Noah Engle each had strong showings in the game.

The Hawks (0-4) goes to Iowa Valley Friday.

COLFAX – Missed opportuni-ties derailed Colfax-Mingo’s upset attempt of No. 10 Belle Plaine Fri-day night.

Twice the Tigerhawks were one yard from the end zone and came up scoreless in a 26-16 defeat.

Leading 7-0 in the first quarter, a fumbled handoff by the Tigerhawks at the 1-yard line turned into a 99-yard touchdown pass by Belle Plaine on the ensuing possession. The se-quence evened the score at 7-all and shifted momentum.

“That’s a whole different ball game if we go up 14-0 and don’t give up the long touchdown,” Col-fax-Mingo head coach Jeff Lietz said. “It was a big momentum swing really. We just need to capitalize when we get down in scoring op-portunities.”

Following a 14-all tie at halftime, Colfax-Mingo found itself on the verge of taking the lead again in

the third quar-ter. The Ti-gerhawks had first-and-goal on the 1, but four straight at-tempts came up short, resulting in a turnover on downs.

“There’s two huge missed oppor tuni t i e s that cost us 14 and gave them sev-en,” Lietz said. “That’s a 21-point swing that’s just a killer.”

Junior quarterback Jared Myers propelled the offense throughout, throwing for 261 yards and rushing for a season-high 206 yards and a touchdown.

The primary target of his throws was Jake Lietz, who hauled in eight catches for 110 yards. Jake Buehrer added a season-high seven recep-tions for 67 yards.

Jake Lietz led the defense with nine and a half total tackles fol-

lowed by Myers’ eight.

“Not tak-ing anything away from Belle Plaine, they’re a good football team, but we hurt ourselves quite a bit in this game,” Jeff Lietz said, add-ing his team committed more than 10 penalties.

“I told the guys no football team is good enough to overcome men-tal mistakes. We had way too many penalties and turned the ball over too much. Even though we played well offensively and defensively, mistakes are hard to overcome. Just need to clean up the mistakes and we’ll be fine.”

Colfax-Mingo (3-1) hosts North Mahaska (1-3) on Friday.

MARSHALLTOWN — Senior Devin Shores might be breaking out of a slump on the golf course. Shores carded a 79 to help lead the Newton High Cardinals to a sixth-place finish at Friday’s Marshalltown Invitational.

Shores and sophomore Austin Reynolds each fired scores of 70. Reynolds placed 12th overall and Shores was 15th. Shores has been

working to get his game going this season for the Cardinals.

Jordan Henning came in with an 83 as the No. 3 golfer on the day for Newton. Payton Thomas shot an 86 to round out the top four scores for Newton at the 18-hole event played at Elmwood Country Club.

“Derek Damman struggled off of the tee, shooting a 90, and Tyler Thongvanh struggled early with his iron and finished with a 98,” said Pat Riley, Newton head coach.

The Cardinals finished with a score of 327. There were 11 teams in the tournament.

Newton plays at the West Des Moines Valley Invitational at Briar-wood Golf Course in Ankeny. The Cardinals play in the Southeast Polk Invitational Tuesday at Copper Creek Golf Course.

MONROE — Ronnie Marshall rushed for three first-half touchdowns and helped Prairie City-Monroe quickly jump ahead of Davis County in a 50-6 victory Friday night.

PCM scored 43 points in the first half, getting two touchdowns from receiver Luke Greiner and an 18-yard

interception return for a touchdown by Luke Pendroy.

Greiner caught seven passes for a season-high 156 yards.

It was the second week in a row PCM (2-2) benefitted from an impressive of-fensive showing. The Mustangs scored 48 points last week against Centerville.

300-yard performance of the year.PCM held Davis County to only 19

yards rushing on 23 carries. Pendroy led the defense with seven tackles, fol-lowed by Skyler Moore’s six.

Davis County’s lone score of the game came on an 81-yard pass from Zach Houf to Justin Utt. Houf com-pleted five of his 15 pass attempts.

Banfi eld scored his fi rst touchdown of the night on a 4-yard run to cap a fi ve-play, 56-yard march by the Car-dinals. That was set up by a 32-yard catch and run by Easley from Woods.

Peters took a quick swing pass from Woods and went 26 yards on the Car-dinals’ fi nal possession of the fi rst half. Easley kicked a 32-yard fi eld goal with 6.5 seconds on the clock. New-ton went into halftime with a 24-0 advantage.

The Bobcats worked three fi rst downs in the opening possession of the second half. All the yardage came on the ground, then Bobcat quarter-back Hunter Semelroth went to the air. Tish intercepted the pass for New-ton at the Cardinal 37-yard line with 8:21 left in the third quarter.

Wood scrambled out of trouble be-hind the line of scrimmage and broke down the sideline for a 43-yard pickup for the Cardinals. Peters ran for 15 yards, then Thongvanh scored his fi rst touchdown of the season on a 4-yard run.

“It’s amazing to be playing with my team again,” Thongvanh said. “I felt I was ready when I went out there, but didn’t feel I was on my A game. There’s room to get better. I’m ready to go out and play Gilbert next week.”

Leading 31-0 with 6:18 on the third-quarter clock, the Cardinals shut down the Bobcats on three plays forcing another punt. Peters returned the punt to the Benton 40-yard line. The Cardinals stayed on the ground with runs by Ban-field, Peters and Thongvanh. Peters finished the drive with a 17-yard touchdown run.

Newton went into the fourth quar-ter leading 38-0, triggering a running clock.

The Cardinals went to their re-serves when they took offensive pos-session with 9:13 on the clock. But a Newton fumble put the Bobcats’ of-fense in business at the Newton 37-

yard line.“Joseph Banfi eld is an unself-

ish player. He has played as our No. 2 back this season, but that is where J.T. played last year. Joseph moved to a wing spot and did a solid job tonight after a couple of missteps early in the game,” Ergenbright said.

Benton’s lone pass completion was a 4-yard touchdown pass from Semel-roth to Brady Kraus with 2:57 left in the game. Newton blocked the extra-point kick attempt, leaving it 38-6.

It took 40 seconds for the Cardi-nals to answer. Banfi eld had two long runs to put the football at the Bobcat 10-yard line. Reese Rosenquist scored from there and Josh Gulling kicked the extra point.

“It was great out to a lead and hold it. We were able to get the young-er guys in the game,” Ergenbright said. “We still need to clean up some breakdowns. We’re not going to have

the luxury of having someone like Tyler scramble out of trouble in the backfi eld and turn it into a huge gain against the teams we go up against the next few weeks.

“We have to improve our pass blocking so Tyler can get the ball out quicker. We just have to get ready for Gilbert and go and play.”

Newton travels to Gilbert, ranked No. 5 in Class 3A and lost 33-28 to ninth-ranked Ballard in district action Friday, for a Class 3A District 6 showdown.

Newton junior varsity and freshman volleyball teams play in East tournament

DES MOINES — Newton High’s junior varsity and freshman volleyball teams competed in a tournament hosted by Des Moines East High School Saturday. The Cardinal freshmen fi nished second in their division and the NHS ju-nior varsity went 5-5 in sets, win-ning one match, losing one and splitting two.

“The girls came out ready to play Saturday morning,” said Jennifer Mouchka, Newton freshman coach. “They played hard and had fun. Some-thing we stressed all week. We will learn from our mistakes and come out ready to play Monday night when we travel to Saydel.

Mouchka said everyone was able to play in Saturday’s matches. She said the Cardinals lost some sets that they should have won, but overall, she was very pleased with how the girls played.

Newton’s freshmen beat West Des Moines Dowling Catholic 21-9, 21-6 and Des Moines East B 21-5, 21-14. They lost to Adel-

DeSoto-Minburn 21-9, 21-19. They split with Des Moines East A, winning 22-20, losing 24-22, and split with Johnston, winning 21-15, losing 21-12.

Newton’s junior varsity notched a 23-21, 21-13 win over Des Moines East and lost 21-18, 21-16 to Nevada. The Cardinals split with Des Moines Lincoln, winning 21-2 and losing 21-12, and split-ting with Indianola, losing the fi rst set 21-9 and winning the second set 21-19.

“The girls played great vol-leyball this weekend. We worked a lot on serve receive last week in practice and it defi nitely paid off,” said Mallory Sturtz, NHS junior varsity coach. “We are taking steps in the right direction and improv-ing each week. We are still working on being discipline on defense and putting teams away when we have them beat rather than letting them back in. Overall it was a good tour-nament and really great to see them working together, having fun, and winning.”

For the NHS freshmen, Liz McVey served up nine aces while

Addy Blom, Audrey Lucas and Kinzie Loree each had four ace serves. Bethany Baumgartner and Natalie Camp had three ace serves apiece. Carter Lee served up two aces and Jordan Banfi eld had one ace serve.

At the net, Lucy Lilienthal had seven kills, fi ve solo blocks and two assisted blocks and Alexis Hoff-man put down six kills and made three solo blocks. Camp had six kills and one solo block while Lu-cas had three kills and a solo block. Blom made two kills, Banfi eld and McVey each had one kill.

Lee was credited with 41 digs on the day and Mackenzie Johnson had 14 digs. Lucas put up 12 set assists and Banfi eld had eight set assists.

Newton’s freshmen go to a tour-nament at Saydel Monday. New-ton’s junior varsity and freshmen play at home Tuesday, starting at 5:30 p.m., against Dallas Center-Grimes. The Cardinal varsity plays at 7:15 p.m. Tuesday.



Jocelyn Sheets/Daily NewsNewton’s Alyssa Bartels serves during a home ju-nior varsity match last week. On Saturday the NHS junior varsity and freshman teams played in a tour-nament at Des Moines East High School.

Four players scored touch-downs for Newton High’s freshman team, which posted a 30-12 victory Friday over visiting Benton Community of Van Horne.

Tristin Langmaid scored on a 52-yard run, Garrett Sturtz had a 30-yard touch-down run, Carson Cazett scored from fi ve yards out, and Jaron Roush had a 27-yard touchdown dash. All of the touchdowns came in the fi rst half as the Cardinals built a 30-0 lead.

Sturtz and Jace Lukefahr each scored a two-point con-version for Newton. Zach Combs kicked two extra points.

“This was a great team win. Every member of the

team played a role in this vic-tory. It’s great to be 4-0 and we are starting to play at a high level,” said Trent Pow-ers, Newton assistant coach. “We started slow offensively with a fumble on our fourth play, but then scored on our next four possessions.”

Newton rolled up 270 yards of rushing led by Langmaid with 86 yards on four carries. Sturtz rushed for 62 years on four carries, plus went 1-of-2 passing for 26 yards. Trevor Ergenbright had the one catch of the night for Newton.

Clayton Baltisberger had four carries for 50 yards and Cazett had 48 yards on four carries. Roush fi nished with 24 yards on two carries.

“Our defense was out-standing. We did not give up a fi rst down until late in

the second quarter. We held them to 35 yards at half time and forced two turnovers,” Powers said.

Benton scored two touch-downs late in the fourth quarter.

The Cardinal defense was led by Isaiah Breeden with fi ve tackles. Mathew Karsten, Langmaid, Logan Wolfe, Alex Morris and Ca-zett each made four tackles. Combs had three tackles.

Langmaid rang up a quar-terback sack. Karsten recov-ered a fumble while Combs made two interceptions.

Newton plays at Colfax-Mingo Tuesday with a 6 p.m. kickoff. The Cardinals play at Gilbert Friday.

Astrograph

The sun’s passage into Libra is traditionally greeted with a grate-ful heart. The Wiccan tradition of celebrating Mabon includes giving a nod to the harvest thus far and hopes for future bounty. Wednesday evening brings Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, which is cel-ebrated with apples and honey to symbolize the desire for sweet bless-ings to come.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 22). Because you’re grateful, you’ll get much more than you asked for this year. You’ll take a risk in Oc-tober and be better for the unexpected outcome. The exciting commotion in November involves a new player in your life movie. December and February bring financial opportunities. Seal a deal in January. Leo and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 11, 3, 33, 29 and 41.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Modesty and good character go together. Seek the friendship of people who aren’t

overtly competitive. The one who is busy patting himself on the back will have no hands left to ap-plaud your success.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Don’t worry about your loved ones seeing the situation differently from the way you see it. They will, of course, and that’s fine for you as long as you keep com-municating. You’ll come to a shared consensus.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). The amateurs will be impressed by what you’ve accomplished recently, but those who are experts in assessing character will measure you by the consideration and tolerance you have for others.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Feeling and giving kindness not only contributes to a better world, but it contributes to a better you. Your capacity for happiness will expand with every selfless act.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ve lived remarkable moments.

People ask you to talk about what you’ve seen, but there’s much of your experience that is pow-erfully beyond what can be recounted in words.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You go where you know you have something of value to add to the situation. Whenever you deprive another of solitude, you make sure to provide them with excellent company.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your time, energy and love are precious commodities, and you’ll give them as such. You can be strong in yourself and still be there for your loved ones. That’s the balance you’ll work on today.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You are showing who you really are these days, and you will soon assemble a tribe of ad-mirers. The individuals who are attracted to you now are just the start.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You have a romantic fantasy going

on that may not reflect reality in all its stark-ness, but keep it up anyway, because it just may color reality in a rosy glow that changes everything.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). The one who can give 100 percent to a relationship and then ex-pect nothing in return is a rare individual indeed, but this is the path to true love.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Address the things that hurt you directly. Your tendency lately has been to keep those slights to yourself or tell an outside party, but now it’s better to go one-on-one with your offender.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your mood: unpredict-able. You won’t do the same thing twice. You won’t be the same person twice. Enjoy that band of rapt admirers watching to see what you’ll do next.
