Page 6 www.harveycountynow.comOPINION Newton Now November 10, 2016 Editorial Thank you, veterans, for serving our country

We think it’s safe to say everyone is done with the election. They get uglier and uglier each go around, and we all have spent a good amount of time making fun of or criticizing the process. But despite the mess that has ended after what seems like years, we should all be thankful. We should all be thankful that we live in a country where we have the freedoms to criticize our election process and where we have a chance to take part in deciding our local and national leadership. Much of that thanks should be laid at the feet of our veterans. Nov. 11 marks Veterans Day in the United States, a celebration that originally commemorated the armistice of World War I, the war to end all wars that ended none. Throughout the years, Americans have signed up or been drafted for service. They have fought in wars and sacrificed their lives in some cases to keep us safe and preserve the freedoms and democracies we hold so dear. And these people are not some removed part of our world. We know them. They are our fathers, moth- ers, uncles, cousins, children. They contribute to our communities and make them a better place to live in. But for many they carry heavy burdens while doing so. Some return home from service with post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety issues and other mental wounds. AMY SMARSH-JOHNSON/NEWTON NOW Others return with deep physical scars and disabili- ties. We owe it to these men and women to make sure veterans receive proper medical care, employment and Columns housing services. As a society, they have sacrificed to serve us, so we owe them the same reciprocation. We also must consider the full cost of wars when considering national military engagements. A brewery in Newton?

At a previous meeting, the commission dis- cussed allowing Beiler to put a strip between the house and the addition to delineate the change. Mayor Glen Davis made a case to allow his re- model, arguing that Beiler worked to improve the house and both he and Dave Nygaard ,who was not present due to back surgery, supported Beiler’s plans. “What you have done to that house is a big im- provement if you look at the houses to the south,” Davis said.

BY MIKE MENDEZ NEWTON NOW STAFF [email protected]

For every rebuilding program there is a point where the team can become satisfied with being close or stop accepting close losses and start going after wins. And after a 38-22 road win over Friends, Bethel College is proving to itself, and the Kansas Colle- giate Athletic Conference (KCAC) the Threshers are taking the field to win. “The thing that we are trying to change is the cul- ture of, ‘we almost won,’” head coach Morris Lolar said. “There are a lot of guys on this football team that they are OK with almost winning. We have got to change that. They need to understand that they are good enough to compete, and they are good enough to win a lot of football games. Hopefully this is the type of game that catapults us and lets these guys really understand that and buy into it. The motivation is there.” Coming off a 21-17 loss to No. 10 Kansas Wes- NEWTON NOW FILE PHOTO leyan a week ago, in which Bethel gave up 14 points Newton wrestler Logan Treaster shoots for a single leg takedown attempt against Arkansas City’s Marcus Robinson in the 113-pound finals of in the fourth quarter to let a landmark win slip the Newton Tournament of Champions last year. Treaster and Robinson met again in the state finals in 2016. away, the Threshers were eager to get back on the field for another chance. And with a defense that has led the team all season, Bethel punched the Fal- cons in the mouth early, shutting Friends out in the first half to take the fight out of the opponent. “That was a great feeling, because the team was playing tough,” defensive end Carlos Dickerson said. “We needed that to let our team know that we are just the team that we think we are: tough and hard nosed. It was fun. It was a lot of fun. I think this is a Discipline change for Bethel and a big step to where we can get things moving in the right direction. It is a big step for Bethel and it is not the end; it is actually the be- ginning of something great right here.” It shapes Treaster’s wrestling career and beyond Led by Jariah Booker’s eight tackles, with Dicker- son picking up six including two sacks, the Bethel BY MIKE MENDEZ Treaster.
