Historic church to close on Sunday

By Ty Rushing Newton Daily News

After 160 years of making sure rural residents of Newton received the word of God, the Wittemberg Church is disbanding after Sunday’s service.

The church has seen a stark decline in membership over the years and averages around to 12-15 pa-rishioners per Sunday. Several church orga-nizers said the low at-tendance figures made it nearly impossible to keep the church opera-tional.

farming on personlized farm tours / 2A

Page 2: NDN-11-4-2014

Paula Hender of An-keny stood at the edge of a corn field near Reasnor. It was a cool and crisp Friday after-noon and sunlight was fading. Her husband Derek and 10-year-old son Dylan were glid-ing through golden-brown stalks aboard a John Deere combine operated by Jacob Van Manen. Her other son, 12-year-old Jason, was near her side waiting his turn, smiling broadly as he prodded kernels off a cob to pass the time.

“Most people don’t know a farmer,” she said matter-of-factly while gazing across the husk-covered ground to the combine claw-ing its way across the field. “When it comes to questions about food, my resource has always been Google.”

Paula’s situation isn’t unique. It’s the reason why the Iowa Food & Family Project launched its “You on the Farm” program in 2011. The contest provides food-minded consumers the opportunity to win a personalized farm tour.

The Henders’ fall harvest experience was Friday. Their hosts were Kevin and Julie Van Manen who, with their children Jacob and Em-ily, raise cattle and hogs and grow corn, soy-beans and sweet corn near Kellogg in Jasper County.From Newfoundland

to IowaPaula entered the

contest after reading about it on Iowa FFP’s Facebook page. They were selected from more than 50 entries.

Raised in New-foundland, Canada, Paula and Derek moved to Louisiana in 1994. Ten years later, they moved to Iowa.

“The one thing we had to learn when we arrived was the differ-ence between field corn and sweet corn,” Paula said with a smile.

Reasnor and St. Johns, Newfoundland may be more than 2,000 miles apart, but a grow-ing number of consum-ers are uniting around an interest in learning more about their food and having the confi-dence to discern fact

from competing claims and outright gimmicks.

Paula counts herself among them.

“When I’m walk-ing around the grocery store or planning our menu, food safety is on my mind,” said Paula who works in human resources for Wells Far-go in Des Moines. “I’m not overly concerned about GMOs. About everything we eat has been modified, but it’s been modified to our benefit.

“Yet I have concerns just like other moms,” she added. “Sometimes that concern leads me to question the choices I make. I want to be confident and purchase food that tastes good and is good for you.”

The Van Manens were the perfect hosts for the Hender’s first U.S. farm visit. Kevin, Julie, Emily and Ja-cob often make time to provide a behind-the-scenes tour of their farm including sorting hogs, feeding cattle, picking sweet corn and planting and harvesting their corn and soybeans.

On this particular day, three generations of Van Manens were bringing in the har-vest. Jacob was run-ning the combine, his father Kevin drove the semi and grandpa Ron kept pace with the four-wheel-drive tractor and 900-bushel capacity grain cart.

“Even though it’s a busy time of year, it’s important to show where the miracle of food begins — on the farm,” Julie said as she and Emily flipped through family photo

albums with Paula. “We have to earn and keep the trust of our custom-ers if we want to keep farming.

“I wouldn’t want to have to buy our food from another country,” she said.

Future farmersThe flurry of harvest

activity was a magnet for the Hender boys, Jason and Dylan. Both took turns riding in the tractor pulling the grain cart and the combine.

“The combine was like a giant lawnmow-er,” Dylan said when asked about the high-light of his on-farm ex-perience.

Jason quickly chimed in. “I’ll remember the power of the machine and how the combine chewed through the corn,” he said. “I think I’d like to farm!”

Such comments sur-prised Paula.

“Prior to the farm visit, I woudn’t have considered farming to be a career path for my children,” she said. “However, after see-ing Jacob and Emily at work on the farm and how they’re incorporat-ing their post-second-ary education into the farm in combination with the better technol-ogy, it’s indeed a viable career consideration.”

After spending time in the field, the Henders were treated to dinner at Culver’s in Newton. The restaurant recog-nizes farmers for their commitment to grow-ing wholesome food and provides financial resources to local FFA chapters to support community-based ag education for youth.

The family enjoyed warm burgers, cheese balls, chicken strips and cold shakes and reflect-ed on their farm experi-ence.

Derek, who serves as an executive for Unity Point Health in Des Moines, said it was the blend of manual labor and technology that was most memorable.

“A lot of the work is hands-on but high-tech is involved in farming, too,” he said. “They were collecting infor-mation from the yield monitor in the combine along with the moisture content (of the grain). The fact that they can then use the informa-tion to know where and how much to fertilize the crop next spring was very interesting.”

Truly knowFor Paula, highlights

were riding in the com-bine and meeting the Van Manens.

“I really didn’t have any expectations but enjoyed everything about the afternoon,” she said. “It’s impor-tant to take the time to truly know about where food comes from be-cause when you’re not involved, you forget.

“There are always two sides to every issue and sometimes it’s dif-ficult to hear directly from the farm families who are growing the food in their backyard,” she said. “This was a fun and educational experience that even connected the boys to farming. I would defi-nitely recommend it to others.”

Margin Protection Program Producer

meeting WednesdayThe Jasper and

Poweshiek County FSA offices will be holding a dairy producer meeting at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Drake Communi-ty Library, 930 Park St. in Grinnell.

During the meeting, producers will be in-formed of the new Mar-gin Protection Program which has replaced the MILC Program start-ing with the 2014 Farm Bill. MPP is a voluntary risk management pro-gram for dairy producers which offer protection when the difference be-tween the all milk price and the average feed cost (the margin) falls below

a certain dollar amount selected by producers.

The deadline to sign-up for 2014 and 2015 is Nov. 28. The meet-ing will include all the information producers need to know to decide if the Margin Protection Program fits into your operation.

Contact the Jasper County Service Center at 641-792-5019 with any additional ques-tions.

People with disabili-ties who require accom-modations to attend or participate in this meet-ing should contact Ka-tie Kramer at 641-792-5019.

Deadline to seed winter cover crops extendedIowa Secretary of

Agriculture Bill Northey and State Agronomist Barb Stewart with US-DA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service announced that farm-ers participating in state cost-share and most fed-eral financial assistance programs now have until Nov. 15 to plant winter hardy cover crops and still qualify for assis-tance.

The seeding date is extended following the announcement that only 81 percent of Iowa’s soy-beans and 36 percent of corn were harvested as of Sunday.

“The crop report in-dicates both corn and

soybean harvests are behind the five-year average,” said Northey. “Extending the dead-line to Nov. 15 will allow additional farmers to get cover crops planted while still benefiting wa-ter quality.”

Winter hardy cover crops include cereal rye, winter wheat, triticale, among others. An exten-sion was given to farmers last year, too, following a late harvest. Guidance from Iowa State Uni-versity confirmed cover crops planted through the Nov. 15 deadline still have the potential to provide a substantial reduction in nutrient losses and soil erosion.

dedication. It has every-thing to do with the fact that it’s in central Iowa — and in the whole state — the family farm is gone,” Swanson said.

As a student minister as Morningside Col-lege in Sioux City in the 50s, Swanson said he recalled serving at a church slightly smaller than Wittemberg that had full pews every Sunday.

“Every pew was tak-en. The average pew contained grandma, maybe grandpa too, mom and dad who were in their 40s or 50s and five children — three generations. You don’t find that anymore,” Swanson said.

Pat Beckham serves as the church’s histori-an and can’t even recall how long she’s attended the church.

“This was my grand-parents church. I used to come here as a child when I visited my grandparents on the weekend. Then I went to church in town — my

parents lived in town, but 45 years ago my husband and I moved out to the country and I ended up back in a country church,” Beck-ham said.

Most of Wittem-berg’s membership is of an older generation and they don’t have any young families are small children to take the place of the elders, Beckham said.

As members pass on, other members have been stepping up and it’s finally becoming too much for them. An-other longtime church member, Sybil Scott agreed.

Wittemberg is lo-cated a few miles east of the city and is in Newton Township, and is surrounded by farm-land. The origin of the church’s name is un-known but is believed to be derived from the German word “Wut-temberg.” The church, former grange hall and cemetery are the only remnants of the once thriving farm commu-nity.

Originally formed in 1854 as the Wittem-berg Free Presbyterian Church under the guid-ance of Rev. Thomas Merrill — an abolition-ist who migrated from Ohio — the church met in various loca-tions in the area in-cluding people’s homes

before building the original church struc-ture in 1868.

The original building still serves as the sanc-tuary and the church has undergone a num-ber of renovations in its more than 100 years of service. There were also additions made in 1920,

1954, 1964 and in 1978.Over the years, the

church has been affili-ated with the Presby-terian and Congressio-nal United Church of Christ ministries, but is currently non-defini-tional.

There are no future plans for the building,

which has been kept up well by the congre-gation. Board members are hoping its future owners either continue to use it as a church or even a private residence. They are just hoping the historical structure is somehow preserved, but now decision will be out of their hands. In September, the church and nearby Wittemberg Cemetery gained inclu-sion into the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom. It’s unclear whether that designation will impact the future of the church.

Swanson will be the 38th and final leader of the church’s flock. He, Beckham, and Scott said the members will likely go their sepa-rate ways after Sun-day’s final service, but they are hoping to get a full house to send the church off properly.

“People are welcome to come to the last ser-vice,” Scott said.

“Service starts at 10:15 a.m.,” Swanson added.

Closing: Wittemberg Church first held services in 1854Continued from Page 1A

Ty Rushing/Daily NewsThe Wittemberg Church is closing its doors Sunday after 160 years of worship. The last service begins at 10:15 a.m. All are welcome to attend.

Crowder said Carter met the 16-year-old female online and traveled to Mercer County. He said the two spent “at least four days” together in a motel.

Crowder said the case was originally a missing per-sons investigation that began when the teen was re-ported missing to the state police. The girl was found after she and Carter got into a disagreement and she went to her mother’s place of work, Crowder said.

“He (Carter) was located at the Greyhound bus stop in Bluefield where he was waiting to board a bus back to Iowa,” Crowder said.

Carter was arraigned Monday afternoon and given a $10,000 cash only surety bond. He is currently incar-cerated at the Southern Regional Jail.

said he thinks turnout could be the same if not higher from the last Gubernatorial Election in 2010.

“The turnout in 2006 Gubernatorial Election was 50.5 percent, and the turn out in the 2010 Gubernatorial Elec-tion was 56.4 percent. Looking at how things stand today, my guess is that the turnout will be in the 55 percent to 60 percent range. Though, I hope that the turnout is higher,” Parrott said.

Polls opened at 7 a.m. Tuesday for an election in which voters will choose a new U.S. senator and decide races for governor, the U.S. House and legislative positions. Voting will close in Iowa at 9 p.m.

Jasper County is in the second congressio-nal district of Iowa and has 26,000 registered

voters. The total popu-lation of the second dis-trict is 773,250 which includes the cities of Iowa City, Davenport, Burlington and Ottum-wa. Of the 489,259 reg-

istered voters in the dis-trict, independent status is favored with 182,380 registered Independent. Democrat follows with 166,277 and Repub-lican comes in third

at 139,211. There are more than 1,300 regis-tered with a third party.

The Hunter Mansion is a his-toric icon located in the heart of the City of Newton. Built in 1900, the home has three fireplaces and the inte-rior woodwork is beautifully or-nate. There is an open staircase in the front foyer, beamed ceilings in the dining room and cen-tury old radia-tors throughout the home. As you enter into the or-nate foyer of this old Victorian home you will feel as if you have taken a step back in time.

Formerly Shay’s Tea Room and Gifts, the property was recent-ly purchased by Brock and Rae Waleska.

Both were born and raised in Iowa; attended the University of Northern Iowa and then moved out of state for the next 10 years. During this time Rae started a company called Murder n’ May-hem that provided murder mystery entertainment. The parties were a hit and Rae’s dreams came true when they moved back to Iowa

with their two boys, and she was able to purchase and open Hunter Mansion so she could host murder mystery parties and other special events.

The tea room is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Wednesdays through Saturdays. It is best to make reservations, but walk-ins are welcome as well. At The Hunter Mansion you can also reserve their downstairs dining rooms or up-stairs party rooms and kitchen for your special events. Their space is perfect for groups of 50 or less and they can also provide on-site cater-ing.

As a tea room, they serve the most wonderfully delicious items that are not like the cuisine on the menus of other typical restaurants. You’ll find entrees such as quiche, sweet chicken salad sandwiches, toasted apple tuna sandwiches, tea room finger sandwiches; and they even have something the gentlemen might think a little more satisfying with a pulled pork sandwich. How about children? Choose from a peanut butter and jelly or grilled cheese sandwich. Don’t forget soup or salad…and then those delicious desserts! And, of course, there’s a plethora of va-rieties of tea.

This historic beauty houses a

tea room, gift shop and moon-lights as a special event center. The Hunter Mansion offers many pub-lic events from themed tea parties, to fashion shows to murder mys-tery parties and more. The home is also perfect for private events such as bridal showers, baby show-ers, holiday parties and children’s birthday parties.

So, let’s talk about some of their special events. They host the Haunted History Tours, the HOPE Fundraiser, a Murder Mystery Dinner…”A Killer Cos-tume Party,” wine tastings and many more for the adults.

But they have great parties for the kids too. How about taking the kids to a Teddy Bear Tea, Tiaras and Teacups, a Princess Tea Party, the Mad Hatter Tea Party, a High Fashion Tea Party or the Sugar and Sprinkles Tea Party. Hunter Mansion Tea Room and Events has something for everybody in the family; even a Craft-tea Time!

For more information on the Hunter Mansion Tea Room and Event Center, or to make your res-ervations, you should check out its website at www.huntermansion.com; like them on Facebook; give them a call at 641-792-2970 or just stop by at 223 W. Fourth St. S. in Newton.

Back in the early part of the last century, mil-lions of Americans be-l i e v e d there was s o m e -t h i n g c a l l e d “ w h i t e slavery.”

With-out the aid of e i t h e r F a c e -b o o k or Bill O’Reilly, the rumor spread that a vast or-ganization, headed by Chinese men, was kidnapping innocent, dewy-faced white American girls and sell-ing them into houses of prostitution run by oth-er Chinese men.

It was a good story, a spine-tingler capable of raising righteous indig-nation in even the most flaccid of white men.

And, of course, it was all, as we say at the end of the bar, bull. There was no Chinese-led na-tional white girl kidnap-ping syndicate. Women then, as now, got into prostitution in a variety of ways, many of them having to do with what well-trained journal-ists of this generation gingerly call “substance abuse.”

Politicians, anxious to have something with which to beat Chinese-Americans jumped on the story like a duck on a June bug. Bad speech-es were made. Bad laws were passed. The nation was saved from a non-existent threat. Best of all, the story meant that no decent American girl chose whoring as a pro-fession, so, even if there was a brothel on your block, staffed by girls as white as angel food cake, it was not their fault.

Which is why states are in a big Jim Crow hurry to pass voter iden-tification laws.

Like the white slav-ery narrative, the idea that massive voter fraud is occurring all over the country feeds perfectly into the limp victim-hood of white people

who can’t accept the fact that America has more liberals, black people and Hispanics than their local megachurch. It’s just good common sense is all it is: If none of the other soccer par-ents voted for Obama, then no one voted for Obama.

You can see that right on Facebook, be-tween a picture of niece Meghan’s kitten and a recipe for a “really del-ish” blackberry smoothie with kale.

Bad speeches. Bad laws. Politicians, stuffed like turkeys with mon-ey from rich old white guys, jumped on this like a hog on a pile of gar-bage. The nation will be saved from this non-ex-istent threat. Best of all, the story means that no white American chose jus t-a- l i t t l e-darker-than-weak-tea Obama as the president. It was voter fraud, so no one is to blame for any lib-eral or black or Hispanic who got into office.

It took decades to get some of the more ridiculous white slav-ery laws off the books and it took decades for the American people to believe that Chinamen in dragon-embroidered silk robes weren’t car-rying off apple-cheeked farm girl Nellie Mae and selling her into brothel bondage. In fact, Nellie Mae’s biggest se-cret may have been that she preferred being a buck-a-throw hooker to being a buck-a-day fac-tory girl. One killed you about as quickly as the other but the rich folks preferred you to die in a cotton mill or a garment factory.

Around the turn of the last century, base-ball really was the na-tional pastime. Around the turn of this centu-ry, voter identification laws mean Jim Crow is rounding second and headed for home.

As I turned the page of my calendar Saturday, an event stared me in face. It’s not Thanksgiving or my biggest craft show of the year or even the Wisconsin or Nebraska games at the end of the month. It is my birthday, which this years ends in a big, old 0.

I have to say, it hasn’t caused me much stress or anxiety to turn the big 3-0. It amazes me to think of what I accomplished in my 20s, and I am excited to see what will happen the next 10 years. In my 20s, I gradu-ated from the best university in the state, which is of course lo-cated in Iowa City. Only a few months later I got married and moved into a brand new house.

My husband and I got our dog, Homer, and I started a job that I spent six years at before land-ing at the newspaper.

By far, my biggest achieve-ment has been my two daugh-ters. After having my oldest, my world completely changed and my priorities became straight forward and clear. The surprise arrival of my youngest less than a year and a half later taught me more about myself, and what I am capable of, more than I knew was possible.

Before she was born, I couldn’t understand how I could love and take care of two little people equally and without any favoritism. My

husband constantly told me not to worry and I have to say in this instance he was right. My love grew, not split, for both of my girls, and I can’t remember what life with-out my little family was like before we became five (yes I count my dog always).

I have only had one mo-ment where I heard that I was turning 30, and it stopped me in my tracks. It was an ordinary day just walking inside with my dad when he mentioned that in less than a month I would be 30. At that moment, it felt a little older than just the year after 29.

Like I said, right now it seems like my birthday will

be more of a non-event. I’ve planned a day of pampering for myself, visiting my maid-of-honor to get my hair done, followed by some shopping, a pedicure and lunch at one of my favorite eateries. That night I will hang out with my family and hopefully have my favorite meal, meatloaf with cheesy po-tatoes and cheesecake for des-sert (hint, hint family).

Then, Friday will come and I will be 30-and-one-day and not have to worry about another number for 10 or so years.

Raymond George

TininenkoNov. 2, 2014

Raymond George Ti-ninenko, was born Nov. 15, 1937, in Wolf Point, Mont., to G e o r g e and Ju-lia Ti-ninenko. He died Nov. 2, 2014, at Grinnell Regional Medical Center.

Ray worked at George Young Con-struction in Des Moines, Jacobsen Construction and Zapara Construc-tion in Williston, N.D., and was a lifelong farmer and rancher northeast of Bainville, Mont. He at-tended school at Shey-enne River Academy, Harvey, N.D., and Union

College in Lincoln, Neb. Ray had many loves in his life. He loved his Mon-tana land and he knew each hill and rock on all 1,400 acres. He commut-ed 1,000 miles each way from his house in Iowa to his land in Montana to be able to take care of both farms. He loved country music and he and Barb could be expected to be in attendance at every country music show in the surrounding counties. Perhaps his greatest love was his six grandchildren. He was proud of them all and was thrilled to brag to anyone about their ac-complishments. Ray was a loyal and responsible son. He took care of the family farm and toiled on the vast rocky land since the age of eight years old. He dutifully visited his parents in the nurs-ing home for years, and moved to Iowa to care for his father-in-law when

he needed help. Ray was also a closet musician who was accomplished on the harmonica, guitar and organ.

He is survived by his wife of 54 years, Barbara Ann Tininenko of Kel-logg. They were married at the United Methodist Church in Kellogg, Aug. 28, 1960, after meeting on a blind date in Des Moines. They made their home in Williston, N.D., where they lived for 40 years.

Children are Brent Tininenko and his wife, Mary of Bentonville, Ark., and Roxane Sipe and her husband Steve, of Rosemount, Minn. Grandchildren are Cole Tininenko of Little Rock, Ark., Lauren Ti-ninenko of Albuquerque, N.M., Alexa Tininenko of Shawnee, Okla., Jor-dan Sipe of Rio de Ja-neiro, Brazil, Jared Sipe, and Meredith Sipe, both

of Minneapolis, Minn. Siblings are brother, Da-vid Tininenko and his wife, Nola Beth of Mesa, Ariz.; sisters Mary White and her husband, Tom, of Williston, N.D., and Marti Edwards and her husband, Jim of Antioch, Calif.

A memorial service will be at 1 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 29 at the Wallace Family Funeral Home and Crematory in New-ton. The family will greet friends one hour prior to the service and again after the service with a coffee time at the funeral home. His ashes will be spread at the Kellogg and Bainville, Mont., farms at a later date.

Memorials may be designated to Kellogg Fire and Ambulance or MDS (Myelodysplastic syndrome, National Mar-row Donor Programs) Research or a memorial of the donor’s choice.

DEAR ABBY: I’m in love with a man with a big heart. He was my boyfriend when we were both 6 years old. We lost touch for many years, but when I ran into him again we re-connected with a vengeance. We are great together, and I can’t imagine spending my life with anyone else.

We come from a small town, and he remained there until a year ago when he moved in with me. We now live in a major city and things are very different here. Applying for jobs requires a background check. In the small town we are from, it wasn’t a common practice. He was, to put it gently, quite “mischievous” when he was younger. He has a couple of DUIs, plus a few other things.

During the past year he has turned things around, but despite his efforts he has been unable to find work. (He has no felonies.) There are websites to assist felons, but none to assist people like him. He has been to un-employment and temp agencies — nothing. I’m getting desperate. How does someone with a criminal history find employment? — FEELING HELPLESS IN VIRGINIA

DEAR FEELING HELPLESS: That’s a good question, and it’s one that legislators have been looking into. Some laws in certain jurisdic-tions limit an employer’s ability to look at criminal records. It might be worth your while to discuss this with a labor lawyer in your state to find out what the statutes are, because it is not the same in all states. While it might not solve your problem, it will give you a realistic idea of what the two of you are facing in the future.

DEAR ABBY: I have been mar-ried to my dear husband for 20 years. Several years after our wedding, I found out he was dipping chewing tobacco. I was very upset because I

realized he had been keeping a major secret from me. He has tried to quit several times, but starts up again.

It makes me furious every time I see proof of this disgusting habit. I have had to lie to my kids when evi-dence was left in his truck. I’m at my wits’ end. I know he will quit only when he is ready, but how do I live with it? — UNHAPPY ABOUT IT IN TEXAS

DEAR UNHAPPY: People who are addicted to chewing tobacco are at risk for cancers of the mouth, tongue and throat. I would be shocked if your husband’s dentist hasn’t dis-cussed this with him more than once, because these cancers can be not only disfiguring but also life-threatening, IF the patient can be saved.

There are medical interventions to help people who are hooked on to-bacco — but only if they WANT to be tobacco-free. An online commu-nity, TheQuit.org, offers information on helping someone stop chewing to-bacco. Check it out.

My advice for living with an addict is to join a support group. It will help you recognize that you can’t “fix” your husband. He and he alone is respon-sible for his own fate.

Council Bluffs man gets 5 years in police chase

COUNCIL BLUFFS — An Iowa man who was shot by a state trooper following a high-speed car chase has been sentenced to five years in prison.

Michael Lee, 29, was sentenced after pleading guilty to charges including felony eluding and operating a vehicle while in-toxicated.

Lee says he was high on synthetic marijuana when he led officers on the 2013 chase in Council Bluffs that reached speeds of 100 mph. He says he doesn’t re-

Many of Sarah Voas’ relatives attended the Seney school in Le Mars from 1880, when it opened, to 1964, when it closed.

Both sides are ex-pected to appear in court next year for the case.

STORY CITY — The City Council has voted against a truck stop at the Story City ramp off Interstate 35.

Opponents said the truck stop would mean an increase in pollution and crime, including sex trafficking. Supporters said the truck stop would spur economic growth and bring about 50 new jobs to town.

Iowa man enters guilty plea in jail escape

FORT DODGE — A man who broke his arm while climbing out of a vent at the Webster County Jail has pleaded guilty to escaping. George Johnson, 32, entered the plea Monday on charges of escape from cus-tody and second-degree criminal mischief. Johnson and another man escaped the jail in Fort Dodge in August while doing laun-dry. They used sheets they tied together as a makeshift rope to escape through a vent.

Braley, Ernst vie for pivotal open Senate seatThe Associated Press

DES MOINES — The first open U.S. Senate seat in Iowa in 40 years has drawn one of the nation’s closest races between two candidates with decidedly different approaches to the campaign.

In their contest to succeed five-term Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin, who didn’t seek re-election, Republi-can Joni Ernst has run a disciplined campaign and projected the persona of a small-town Iowan, military vet-eran and state legislator. Democrat Bruce Braley, a four-term U.S. House member, has focused on issues and billed himself as a consumer advocate who can build bipartisan relation-ships.

The race will help determine con-trol of the Senate, where Republicans need six seats to become the majority party. Should Ernst win, she would become the first woman elected to the Senate from Iowa. If it’s Braley, he would force Republicans to look else-

where for the six they need to claim the majority.

Polling shows the race has been tight for months, and it’s by far the most expensive campaign in Iowa history. Both Braley and Ernst have raised more than $10 million, and outside groups have spent additional millions on television advertising.

“It looks like enthusiasm. I think if I’d had this kind of enthusiasm in 2008, I would have carried the state,” Arizona Sen. John McCain said while campaigning for Ernst in Coralville.

Ernst appears to hold a narrow

edge by projecting an image as a homegrown public servant, having at-tained the rank of lieutenant colonel in Iowa Army National Guard.

She has painted Braley, a court-room lawyer before entering Congress in 2007, as a Washington insider who supported measures such as the 2010 federal health care bill, which remains unpopular in Iowa.

Braley has pressed Ernst on her positions that include support for a constitutional amendment bestowing the rights of personhood on a fetus. Such an amendment would outlaw all abortions and could outlaw some forms of birth control, positions Bral-ey opposes.

As one of many on a list of high-profile Democratic women for Braley, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized Ernst’s position on reproductive rights at an appearance with Braley. “It’s not enough to be a woman. You have to be committed to expand rights and opportunities for all women,” she said.

Iowa judge upholds 50-year prison

sentence for manThe Associated Press

DUBUQUE — An Iowa judge has upheld a 50-year prison sentence for a man convicted of robbery and attempted murder.

District Court Judge Thomas Bitter issued the sentence Monday against 76-year-old Ed-die Chest. It is identical to one handed down by another district court judge.

Chest was sentenced in 2011 to two con-secutive 25-year prison terms for first-degree robbery and attempted murder in the 2009 shooting of Dubuque police Lt. Scott Baxter.

Chest appealed and the Iowa Court of Ap-peals later ordered another judge to issue a new sentence. The appeals court said statements by the assistant Dubuque County attorney during sentencing improperly presented Chest’s plea deal.

Bitter on Monday said his sentence was based on Chest’s criminal history and the seri-ousness of the crime.

Many questions unanswered in spaceship crashThe Associated Press

LOS ANGELES — Federal accident investi-gators have an early sense of what went wrong be-fore an experimental spaceship designed to ferry tourists beyond the Earth’s atmosphere broke apart during a test flight. But they still don’t know why the craft prematurely shifted its shape prior to the deadly crash.

And another question looms: How far will the accident push back the day when paying custom-ers can routinely rocket dozens of miles into the sky for a fleeting feeling of weightlessness and a breathtaking view?

National Transporta-tion Safety Board investi-gators worked Monday at

the main wreckage area where Virgin Galactic’s SpaceShipTwo fell to the ground in the Mojave Desert, but also collected tiny debris 35 miles away. The accident killed the co-pilot and badly injured the pilot who parachuted out of the ship Friday.

Acting NTSB Chair-man Christopher Hart said cockpit video and data showed that the co-pilot unlocked Space-ShipTwo’s unique “feath-ering” system earlier than planned. The system works somewhat like the wing flaps that airplanes use to slow for landing — except that SpaceShipT-wo’s twin tails rotate up at a far more extreme angle, to a position that cre-ates strong resistance and slows the descent.

But while the co-pilot unlocked the system be-fore planned, that action alone should not have been enough to change the craft’s configuration. Activating the feathering system requires the pull-ing of a lever, not unlike a gun fires only when the trigger is pulled, not just because the safety has been disengaged.

Questions abound: Why did the co-pilot ac-tivate the system at that moment? Why did the tails begin to rotate with-out the co-pilot starting that process?

NTSB spokesman Pe-ter Knudson said Monday that investigators believe once the feathers were unlocked, “aerodynamic forces” buffeting the craft as it hurtled along about

760 mph caused the feathers to start rotating. Within a few seconds, the craft began to disin-tegrate, NTSB investiga-tors determined.

The main wreckage was spread over a 5-mile area, but Hart said Mon-day that parts have been recovered up to 35 miles away. He said they could have been carried that far by the wind.

SpaceShipTwo is car-ried aloft on the under-side of a jet-powered mother ship. It then drops from that ship and fires its own rocket to head higher. The feath-ers are not supposed to engage until the craft reaches a speed of Mach 1.4, or more than 1,000 mph, the NTSB’s Hart told reporters.

Reward at $15K in reported Philadelphia

abductionThe Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA — The reward is up to $15,000 for infor-mation leading to an arrest in the reported abduction of a Phila-delphia woman.

The Fraternal Or-der of Police added its own $5,000 re-ward Tuesday to the $10,000 the city ap-proved Monday for information on the disappearance of 22-year-old Carlesha Freeland-Gaither.

Detectives say a witness reported see-ing a woman iden-tified as Freeland-

Gaither yelling for help as she was forced into a dark gray four-door vehicle at about 9:40 p.m. Sunday in Germantown.

Police say Free-land-Gaither’s glasses and cellphone were dropped on the street. The witness says Freeland-Gaither also broke several of the car’s windows.

Police released sur-veillance video of the apparent abduction. It shows a man dragging the struggling woman to a car.

The woman’s moth-er says it’s devastating to see the video.

Senate control is top prize in midterm electionThe Associated Press

WASHINGTON — Public cam-paigning gave way to the privacy of the voting booth Tuesday with control of the Senate, the makeup of the House and three dozen governorships at stake.

President Barack Obama, his approval ratings low, was not on the ballot midway through his second term. But even he said his policies were, and Republicans rushed to agree.

“The president’s policies have just flat-out failed,” House Speaker John Boehner said Monday, campaigning for a 13th term in Congress and hoping for two more years as top House leader. He

and other Republicans vowed to change Obama’s policies, but have offered little in the way of specifics.

Democrats didn’t so much defend the president as insist they were independent of him.

“There are two people on the ballot tomorrow, me and Scott Brown,” Sen. Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire said as she made the rounds of six campaign stops on the race’s final full day.

The main prize in a $4 billion cam-paign was control of the Senate, a contest that sprawled across three dozen states and spawned attack ads beyond count-ing.

A large number of competitive races

combined with the possibility of runoffs in Louisiana and Georgia meant that neither party might be able to claim vic-tory by the day after Election Day.

About 10 Senate races drew most of the attention.

In Kentucky, Senate Republican lead-er Mitch McConnell squared off with Democrat Alison Lundergan Grimes in a race that cost more than $50 million and was relentlessly negative.

Democratic retirements gave Repub-licans their best pickup opportunities in Montana, South Dakota and West Vir-ginia, where Rep. Shelly Moore Capito hopes to become the first member of her party to win a Senate seat in more than a

half-century.Another Democratic retirement pro-

duced a highly competitive race in Iowa between Republican Joni Ernst and Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley.

A Republican retirement in Georgia led to one of the country’s most closely-watched races, between Democrat Mi-chelle Nunn and Republican business-man David Perdue.

Democratic incumbents in states that Obama lost in 2012, including Alaska, Arkansas, Louisiana and North Caro-lina, faced strong challenges. The same was true in states the president won two years ago, Colorado and New Hamp-shire.

Top-ranked Pella powers past Newton

PELLA — Newton High’s Cardinals stood their ground on back-to-back defensive plays to open Monday night’s second-round playoff game against No. 1 Pella.

Right on cue, rain began to come down harder and Little Dutch quarterback Noah Clayberg found Jackson Scholten over the middle for a 34-yard pass play. Two plays later Clayberg slipped past the Cardinals on his way to a 41-yard touchdown run.

Clayberg scored three rush-ing touchdowns and threw for one score in guiding the undefeated Little Dutch to a 56-14 win over the Cardinals. Clayberg and the rest of the Pella starters’ work was done by halftime with a command-ing 49-0 lead on the visitors from Newton.

“Pella is an outstanding team and they don’t have any weaknesses. Our kids gave a great effort tonight, but Pella poses a lot of problems for you. They are so athletic at every position and execute everything they do,” said Ed Ergenbright, Newton head coach.

“They make you look bad in space. If teams want to run right at us with power, that’s more of what we can defend. Our kids had great focus practicing to prepare. Man, I don’t know of any team that came play with Pella.”

Newton trailed 20-0 with three minutes left in the first quarter. The Cardinals mounted a drive from their own 36-yard line. Wood

broke off a 26-yard run fol-lowed by a big gain by Reese Rosenquist. A penalty for a face mask against Pella was tacked on.

The Cardinals were push-ing toward the Little Dutch end zone. Wood connected with Jordan Travis to set up a first-and-goal at the 6-yard

line. Newton went backwards from there as Pella stood its ground.

Cardinals bow out of playoffs

The last time I worked for the Newton Daily News, I wasn’t married. And I d i d n ’ t have a 22-month o l d daughter.

So it is fair to say this time a r o u n d will be much dif-ferent.

I won’t work too many mornings or after-noons. I won’t be focused on the same things I was focused on before.

My daughter gets most of my focus these days. When I am with her, there is really nothing else to worry about.

She is my world during the day and then my world shifts to the area sports scene at night.

I am glad to be back. I wasn’t a fan of leaving the first time around, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do when it comes to the personal life.

While I was away, it became more and more apparent that there was no way I could just step away from the field and be happy.

I worked in a handful

of sales jobs — insurance, furniture, fitness center and Pepsi.

Those just didn’t do it for me even though the money was good.

I needed to be back in the business. It is who I am and who I want to be.

That’s why I took an-other leap of faith and jumped back into the busi-ness in Marshalltown. I spent just a little more than two years over there working with a great sports editor who taught me a lot about the business.

Hopefully, I can bring what he taught me over here and impact the lives of several who count on the Newton Daily News as a source of information.

Mighty RoyalsThis was the first Oc-

toberI was locked into the Major League Baseball season. The Royals kept us all on board their wild ride and even if you have a rooting interest with a dif-ferent team, most of the casual baseball fans adopt-ed the Royals as their own.

Alex Gordon, Eric Hosmer and the rest of the Kansas City Royals are easy to root for. The Royals haven’t been good for quite some time and this year’s squad was spec-tacular.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily NewsSlipping away from Newton High senior Jordan Travis is Pella quarterback Noah Clayberg (3) in the rain during Monday’s Class 3A playoff game at Pella. Clayberg led the No. 1-ranked Little Dutch over the visiting Cardinals, 56-14.

Troy Hyde/Daily NewsCollins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Clayton Weltha can’t hold back his emotions after playing his final high school football game following the seventh-ranked Raiders’ 24-14 loss to No. 6 Hampton-Dumont in the Class 2A playoffs in Baxter.

No. 6 Hampton-Dumont ends Raiders’ historic run

BAXTER — With the game tied at halftime, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter football coach Rob Luther knew the fate of the Raiders’ historic sea-son could quite possibly come down to a few plays.

Unfortunately, he never could have predicted an on-side kick would ultimately be the momentum changer. After going three and out on their first series of the second

half, the Raiders gave up a field goal to Hampton-Dumont early in the third quarter and then failed to recover a short kickoff on the next play.

That was all the momen-tum the Bulldogs would need as they scored 24 unanswered points during a 24-14 Class 2A postseason victory over previously unbeaten CMB at Jerry Lee Robinson Field on Monday.

“We came out of halftime with the football and a tie game,” Luther said. “We needed

to drive the ball down the field, but we went three and out. Then they caught one on us.

“They didn’t try to onside that ball. The kicker missed it, but it worked out in their fa-vor. That was huge.”

The Raiders scored first and last but managed just 42 rush-ing yards in the loss. They of-fense also turned it over four times, while the defense sur-rendered 254 rushing yards and forced no turnovers.

“The turnovers just killed us, too,” Luther said. “But be-sides that, the biggest thing for us was we couldn’t run the football. But no one has run the ball on them all year long. That’s a really good defensive line over there.”

The Raiders jumped out to a 7-0 lead early in the first quar-ter when sophomore Hunter McWhirter found junior wide-out Brady Stover on a 20-yard touchdown completion. Stover also caught a 27-yard touchdown pass from from Nate Bishop with 3:11 to play in the game, but CMB’s final possession ended with a lost fumble in the final minutes.

Stover finished with 11 catches for 178 yards and two scores in the game, but the sixth-ranked Bulldogs (10-1) took away Kemp with constant dou-ble teams. The Eastern Michi-gan recruit had just three catches for 28 yards and he also rushed for 12 yards on three carries.

Cole Miller was part of all three Hampton-Dumont touchdowns. He hooked up with Charlie Flickinger for a 23-yard score to tie the game at 7-all late in the first half.

After Bailey Miller gave the Bulldogs the lead for good with a 28-yard field goal, Cole Miller then made it 17-7 with another touchdown pass, this time connecting with Kyle O’Brien from 18 yards out. His 1-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter made it 24-7.

The Bulldogs finished with 254 yards on the ground and Cole Miller added another 119 through the air as Hampton-Dumont will host Dyersville Beckman Catholic in a Friday quarterfinal.

“We belonged on the field with that team,” Luther said. “They are an awfully good football team, but it was about

who made the most plays and tonight that was them.

“We didn’t handle them in the trenches very well on either side of the ball.”

The yardage wasn’t too lop-sided in one team’s favor and the Bulldogs only ran six more of-fensive plays than CMB. But the difference was in time of posses-sion, and Hampton-Dumont’s power running game held the ball for 13 more minutes.

“Even when they didn’t score, they moved the chains, ate up clock and didn’t give us enough opportunities,” Luther said.

Despite the loss, the Raid-ers still did something no other CMB team has ever done. They won a district champion-ship while finishing the regular season undefeated. And it came after missing out on the post-season in consecutive years.

“When you get leadership and you want to be coached, good things can happen,” said Luther of the quick turnaround. “I thought this summer, we had

a chance. I would never predict an undefeated season, but I knew the team would be better.

“I think this will springboard us into next year, too. We have a really good group of sopho-mores and juniors. We have some horses in the stall and this was a great learning experience for them to see what it will take to go even one more step.”

McWhirter finished 16-of-34 for 154 yards, one touch-down and two interceptions. Nate Bishop engineered a fourth quarter scoring drive and was 5-of-10 for 106 yards and a score in the loss.

The Raiders (10-1) were held to just 42 yards rushing. Blake Coughenour had 20 yards on eight carries to lead the way. Hunter Gunderson compli-mented Stover’s big game with five catches for 60 yards in the passing game.

Kendrick Suntken led the Bulldogs with 97 rushing yards on 15 carries, but Bailey Miller also had 82 yards on 12 car-

ries. Parker Claypool was Cole Miller’s favorite target in the passing game as he finished with three catches for 67 yards.

Kemp and Clayton Weltha led the Raider defense in their final high school game. Kemp finished with 11 1/2 tackles, two tackles for loss and a sack, while Weltha added 10 1/2 tackles and two tackles for loss.

“I am going to remember our seniors,” Luther said in reference to what he’ll remember most about the historic season. “We have had some good seasons in the past, but I am not sure we had a group of kids that played this together. They are real un-selfish group. It was fun all sea-son long. We battled tonight, but they were a little better than us.

“We continued to fight in the fourth quarter even though we were down. They truly be-lieved we could still win.”H-D 0-7-10-7—24CMB 0-7-0-7—14CMB — Brady Stover 20 yd pass from Hunter McWhirter (Joey Nissen kick)H-D — Charlie Flickinger 23 yd pass from Cole Miller (Brandon Westendorf kick)H-D — Bailey Miller 28 yd FGH-D — Kyle O’Brien 18 yd pass from Miller (Westendorf kick)H-D — Miller 1 yd run (Westendorf kick)CMB — Stover 27 yd pass from Nate Bishop (Nissen kick)Hampton-Dumont CMB19 First Downs 1353-254 Rushes-yds. 19-42119 Passing yds. 260373 Total Offense 3026-16-0 Passing 21-44-20-0 Fumbles-lost 4-210-61 Penalties-yds. 5-306-21 Punts/Avg. 3-30

Newton elected to attempt a 39-yard field goal on the final play of the first quarter. Nick Easley’s kick was blocked by Pella’s Will Warner.

Clayberg took over from there, dashing from his own 20 to the New-ton 31. The junior quarterback found Austin Schulte for a 31-yard scoring strike on the second play of the second quarter.

Junior Nathan Henry had two touchdown runs in the first quarter for Pella so senior Quinton Murphy decided to get in on the scoring. Mur-phy gashed the Cardinal defense for a 56-yard run to the end zone. Clayberg had a two-point conversion to push the lead to 35-0.

Clayberg scored twice in the final two minutes of the first half on runs of one yard and 11 yards.

The teams came back out in the rain to play the second half under a running clock. Pella’s reserves scored to push the margin to 56-0.

In the fourth quarter, the Cardi-nals found the end zone twice. Travis hauled in a 21-yard scoring pass from Wood with 9:37 left on the block. Easley kicked the extra point. Joseph Banfield had a 5-yard touchdown run at the 1:55 mark with Easley kicking the extra point.

“This has been an awesome group of seniors. There’s four or five kids in that group who have played 30 varsity games for me. The seniors have given us all they have,” Ergenbright said. “I’m really proud of those guys and the season they had. They lost four games

and two of those to the best team in Class 3A.”

Newton lost the services of senior running back Deonne Harris to a shoulder injury in the first half. Rosen-quist led the Cardinal ground game with 44 yards on four carries and Ban-field had 26 yards on six carries.

Wood gained 16 yards on 18 car-ries. The senior quarterback went 10-of-12 passing with 190 yards with one touchdown pass. He also threw two

interceptions. Easley finished with five catches for

87 yards. Thongvanh made two catch-es for 49 yards and Travis had two re-ceptions for 33 yards. Harris came up with one catch for 21 yards.

Leading the Cardinal defense Monday night were Rosenquist with four solo tackles and senior linebacker Brett Wolf with three solos and five assisted tackles. Wood had three unas-sisted tackles and two assisted tackles.

Duncan Lee made two unassisted tackles and four assisted tackles and Travis had four solos and two assisted tackles. Easley had an interception and blocked an extra-point kick at-tempt.

Newton finished at 7-4.“I’d like to thank all the Newton

fans for their support this year. We had great support at our win at Clear Creek-Amana last week. We want to thank them for coming out tonight and seeing this through with us,” Er-genbright said.Newton 0-0-0-14—14Pella 20-29-7-0—56Pella — Clayberg 41 yd run (Johnson kick)Pella — Henry 6 yd run (kick blocked)Pella — Henry 10 yd run (Johnson kick)Pella — Schulte 31 yd pass from Clayberg (Johnson kick)Pella — Murphy 56 yd run (Clayberg run)Pella — Clayberg 1 yd run (Johnson kick)Pella — Clayberg 11 yd run (Johnson kick)Pella — Van Vark 1 yd run (Leidigh kick)Newton — Travis 21 yd pass from Wood (Easley kick)Newton — Banfield 5 yd run (Easley kick)Newton Pella15 First Downs 1237-104 Rushes-yds 35-311190 Passing yds 183294 Total Offense 49410-12-2 Passing 6-9-14-1 Fumbles/lost 2-01-10 Penalties-yds 3-233-47 Punts/Avg. 1-32

Top Four crazinessThe biggest debate

in college football these days revolves around the final four teams that the com-mittee has narrowed

day, my top four in-cludes TCU, Oregon, Alabama and Missis-sippi.

TCU got a big road win over West Vir-ginia this past week-end. They appear to be headed for the final four game as long as they don’t trip up in the final weeks of the season.

I think Alabama will

be the best team in the country before it ’s all said and done. Florida State is the one team in the top 12 that can’t afford to lose. And the SEC will play elimina-tion games every week from here on out.

High School Football Playoffs

I’m not the first to speak up on this mat-ter, but the decision to keep the Iowa high school football playoff

brackets hidden un-til they announce the matchups is absurd to me.

There won’t be many coaches who claim they are in favor of this method. You can’t scout as easy as you could with a little bit of knowledge of who you will face the entire way.

There is no real reason to do it this way. And by doing it,

the Iowa High School Athletic Association opens itself up to criti-cism.

The only positive of it was that many were sitting by their com-puters after the final regular season game waiting for the first-round pairings to be announced.

Astrograph

Early-morning dreams more active than usual? Did they draw up subcon-scious sludge or take you to mysterious alternative lands? The morning Aries moon forms terse angles with Mars and then Pluto to make sure that what-ever is going on in the far reaches of the psyche gets brought to the surface in some manner or form.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 4). You have followed teachers and dutifully served bosses. You’ve tended to parents and children alike. This year it’s about you. In a weird way, you become your own role model, trusting yourself to be who you are, no apolo-gies. January brings a new source of income. February, June and Au-gust bring travel. Cancer and Virgo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 44, 10, 3, 40 and 19.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You didn’t plan to be where you are — you couldn’t have planned it. Remember that when you’re not sure what the next move is. Your intuition hasn’t led you

wrong yet, and it won’t as long as you dare to follow.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You know it, they know it — this routine is getting boring. If you don’t crack the monotony, who will? Mu-sic, fun, intrigue, humor —bring out the big ideas.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). There’s someone you want to get to know, and you have the courage to break the ice today, so go for it. The initial approach will be the hardest part. Things will flow quite naturally from there.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Doing what you love is only fun today if what you love loves you back. So go where the reciprocal energy is. It’s like you’re meeting life halfway, and life appreci-ates the effort.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). The job market is changing. No one knows the jobs that will be im-portant in the future. This is nothing to worry about. Rather, it’s an invitation to

build relevant skills. What do you want to know?

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You’ll have to bridge the gap for the less than socially aware by spelling out your expectations, asking direct questions and making specific requests. It will be worth the extra effort.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Most people only ap-preciate what is difficult to obtain. You’re smarter. You recognize the won-ders right at your finger-tips and don’t hesitate to make the most of them.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). There are too many options available to you to suffer through less than hospitable environments. Avoid unwelcoming places. Go where you’re greeted with open arms.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Very few people, if anyone, will get what you’re about today. Don’t be disheartened if they don’t understand you. It’s just because you’re either ahead of your time or thinking on a deeper level than most.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). An internal struggle could be stressing you — a battle between who you think you should be and who you essentially are. You don’t need to change or try. Acceptance will bring peace and forward movement.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). The day starts out hectic, but by early afternoon you’ll stop and realize all is well. There’s nothing you need or want. Enjoy the content-ment and satisfaction while it lasts. Tomorrow brings new ambition.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). There are steps to take and agreements to make — and someone seems to be standing in the way. Honest dif-ferences are a sign of healthy interaction. You can work this out with patience, charm and creativity.
