Engaging history instructor joins CCHS Hall of Fame Randy Hughes to be inducted Friday afternoon ■

Creston Community High School Hall of Fame - Randy Hughes

By LARRY PETERSON CNA senior feature writer lpeterson@crestonnews.com

As a lifelong New York Yankees fan, Randy Hughes has seen his share of star-studded lineups.

Likewise, he never left the community that hired him as a 21-year-old teacher in 1970 because he felt like he was part of an all-star cast at Creston High School.

For his 36 years of service to the school in several capacities (see related story), Hughes is being inducted into the Creston High School Hall of Fame Friday afternoon as Distinguished Faculty.

The induction and homecoming queen coronation takes place at noon Friday in the school auditorium, prior to the homecoming parade.

Hughes retired from Creston High School in 2006, when he joined the faculty of Southwestern Community College for another 11 years before fully retiring last May. Hughes recalls joining an impressive instructional group at CHS. It was a staff that largely stayed intact throughout much of his career there.

“I really had a feeling I was working with all-stars in the field,” Hughes said.

“People like (Principal) Ron Levine and teachers like Chuck Eilers, Larry Osthus, Galen Hughes Zumbach, Jim Lip-

My gosh, we had a good crew. They did not have to be teachers, and they did not have to be teachers in Creston, Iowa. You couldn’t help but look around and feel that we’re doing something good here.”

For many years, the likes

of those teachers and many others were part of that longstanding faculty crew that worked together at CHS. Some of them are already on the Hall of Fame tribute wall in the fine arts hallway at Creston Community High School. Hughes said he is honored to realize he’s about to join them.

“I’m surprised, because all I ever thought I was doing was my job. Longevity can get confused with excellence, I suppose,” he said with his usual dry sense of humor. “But, I’m truly honored. You look at the other people up there, some fantastic former instructors and

students. Wow.” Hughes was known for his relaxed, engaging style in the classroom, often sprinkled with a dash of his offbeat sense of humor.

It was more of a story-telling session, often including his own experiences, rather than reading from textbook material.

“Randy is perhaps the most engaging teacher I have had the opportunity to work with,” said former CHS principal Todd Wolverton, now principal at North Fayette Valley High School. “Randy could hold the attention of kids that didn’t give two HUGHES | 2A

Woman’s body found after house fire in western Iowa PANAMA (AP) — Authorities say firefighters have found the body of a woman inside a home in western Iowa.

Firetrucks were dispatched around 2:40 a.m.

Monday to the Panama resi-

dence after a Shelby County sheriff’s deputy spotted and reported a blaze there. Authorities have identified the woman as 87-year-old Norine Mahlberg.

State authorities are investigating the fire’s cause.

Iowa woman pleads not guilty in slaying of friend CLARE (AP) — A woman accused of killing a friend in Webster County has pleaded not guilty.

The attorney for 26-year-old Mackenzie Knigge, of Clare, entered the plea for her Monday in Webster County District Court. Knigge, who’d been captured in Indiana, remains in Webster County Jail, pending $1 million bail.

She and 25-year-old Phillip Williams, of Lafayette, Indiana, are charged with murder in the early August slaying of 26-year-old Jessica Gomez. Gomez’s body was found Aug. 12 in a field near Clare.

The Messenger reports that authorities say Williams will remain in Indiana to face charges there before being returned to Iowa for prosecution.

GOP, White House prepare to roll out tax cuts WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House and congressional Republicans are finalizing a tax plan that would slash the corporate rate while likely reducing the levy for the wealthiest Americans, with President Donald Trump ready to roll out the policy proposal at midweek.

The grand plan to rewrite the nation’s tax code would be the first major overhaul in three decades, delivering on a Trump campaign pledge and providing a sorely needed legislative achievement.

It also is expected to eliminate or reduce some tax breaks and deductions.

The plan would likely cut the tax rate for the wealthiest Americans, now at 39.6 percent, to 35 percent, people familiar with the plan said Monday. They spoke on condition of anonymity ahead of a formal announcement.

In addition, the top tax for corporations would be reduced to around 20 percent from the current 35 percent, they said. It will seek to simplify the tax system by

reducing the number of income tax brackets from seven to three.

Trump has said he wanted a 15 percent rate for corporations, but House Speaker Paul Ryan has called that impractically low and has said it would risk adding to the soaring $20 trillion national debt.

The White House and congressional leaders planned an all-out blitz later this week to build support for the plan, which is now Trump’s top legislative priority as the GOP has struggled to repeal and replace Democrat Barack Obama’s CUTS | 12A

hoots about social studies by telling great stories and being entertaining. To pull that off, you have to know your stuff.”

Many students were drawn to Hughes’ teaching methods, and they became new fans of the subject.

“Amazing history teacher. I had zero interest in history until I had him as a teacher,” said former student Katy Wiley of Creston.

“AMAZING history teacher. I had zero interest in history until I had him as a teacher.”

Former student of Randy Hughes

Hughes found ways to relate history to teenagers for three decades, sometimes by using pop culture. For example, Billy Joel released the song “We Didn’t Start the Fire” in 1989, which contained a litany of 119 headline events occurring between that year and the year he was born, 1949.

Hughes asked students to provide reports on segments of the song. He also made a deal with his classes, that if anyone could memorize the lyrics to the song, they would automatically receive an A grade for the class.

“Yes, one girl did it,” Hughes said. “But, she was a very good student and would have gotten an A anyway.”

Courtney Dake, 2004 graduate, remembers being in school on Sept. 11, 2001, and the days following the most impactful terrorist attack in the nation’s history.

“I remember our first history class after 9/11,” Dake said. “He prepared us for the fact that some of our classmates would be going off to war. To me, he taught us how to keep up with current events in relation to history.”

Hughes, a Fort Madison native who lost a close childhood friend during the Vietnam War, said he made it a point to “bring home” the realities of global conflicts.

“Part of my approach was, history isn’t about dead people,” Hughes said. “It’s about you, facing the future.

Find out how they handled it, the choices they made.

It’s almost like brainstorming, so if you ever find yourself in that situation, use the past to make the future better. Part of that is reminding them that every generation marches off to war. Creston, fortunately, has been pretty lucky. A lot of young people have served and they’ve dodged a lot of bullets.”

Yet, ask any former student and the universal response is that humor was always a part of Hughes’

Former CCHS history instructor

Role model It was a style that resonated with many students who went on to become teachers.

Here are examples: • Jenny (Hanson) Palmer, Johnston High School: “Mr. Hughes is a one of a kind teacher. There are times when I am in front of my own history class, and I think to myself, I wish I could turn my feet the other direction while standing in place, which Mr. Hughes could do because he’s double-jointed, and capture my students’ attention like he did. He always found a way to capture all of us. We felt like we were a part of that moment in history.”

• Todd Pettit, Jensen Elementary in Urbandale: “He was one of the first people to see the best in me. He pushed me and motivated me to stop slacking off and do better. He’s one of the main reasons I became a teacher. For 25 years now I’ve been trying to be a teacher like Mr. Hughes.”

• Kyle Ramaeker, Central Decatur High School: “Mr. Hughes was a big reason why I became a teacher. To this day, I try and model my classes the way he did. His love of teaching and caring for students as individuals first, and students second, was and still is an inspiration for me. If I can be half the person and the teacher Mr. Hughes is, I will be doing well.”

Hughes is humbled to hear those testimonies.

“I don’t know how to respond,” Hughes said, quietly, after some of those com-

classroom. That spilled over to his frequent appearances in homecoming pep rallies as “Reverend Victory,” when he would go on a dissertation about the futile task facing the upcoming opponent and why the Panthers would prevail on game night.

“I wanted school to be fun,” Hughes said. “It’s always better when you enjoy your work. School has a reputation of regimentation and authority cracking down on you. I wanted us to relax, open up your minds, and let’s engage in what’s going on. Whether it’s through humor, music, or whatever.

Creston High School history teacher Randy Hughes frequently appeared in the school’s homecoming pep rally skits as Reverend Victory. His “sermon” would usually be a play on words about the opposing team’s mascot and how the Panthers would prevail in that week’s football game.

ments were read to him. “I’d like to think I had a positive impact. People like that are so good, doing what they’ve done for so long. Wow, that’s really something.”

Mike McLain of Creston was a student during the four-year period when Hughes was away from school for the second semester as the Democratic representative in the Iowa House of Representatives for this region. It was beneficial to his work as a social studies educator, yet at the same time he was missed in school by many.

“He was in the State Legislature when I had him for U.S. history,” McLain said, “so he was gone the second semester. I got all A’s when he taught and had to struggle for a C when his replacement taught. Mr. Hughes had a way of making you absorb what he was teaching.

He had a passion for teaching, and that passion was reflected in his students.”

Amber Landers, now of Kansas City, Missouri, had a similar experience.

“I used to hate history class,” Landers said. “Then I had a class with Mr. Hughes.

Now, I have a master’s degree in history and I work in a museum. My life would not be what it is today without Mr. Hughes’ influence.”

on young people out of the classroom, as well. For a decade, he coached students in preparing for the Academic Decathlon, where they would compete with students from other schools in 10 different disciplines such as math, science, social studies, English, public speaking and others. The organization’s board of directors honored him one year for his outstanding work as a coach in that program.

Hughes also served as a Student Council sponsor for several years, and coached girls tennis for 10 years.

His passion for the sport of wrestling from his days as a student in Fort Madison carried over into coaching at the middle school level for a few years, and serving as public address announcer for home high school meets his entire tenure at the school, and two years beyond.

When he was young, Hughes was considering three career options — lawyer, teacher and minister.

Then, during his first semester at the University of Northern Iowa, he fell in love with a history class and found his lifetime passion.

“I don’t know why,” Hughes said. “Maybe it was part of growing up in my hometown, where the Mississippi River has so much history connected to it. I “I USED to hate would imagine Mark Twain history class. Then on that river, all the fur tradI had a class with ers, the war shipments, the crops going south on barges.

Creston FFA members exhibit at state fair Nine Creston FFA members exhibited top quality livestock and animals at the 2017 Iowa State Fair and three members served the fair as grandstand ushers. For many, the state fair is an annual tradition, maybe a day trip or for the real fair enthusiast the whole 10 days. For Creston FFA members, the state fair is much more and opportunities the fair provides are life changing.

Selecting, raising and exhibiting livestock is a tradition that runs deep in our rural communities and holds true for many FFA members as they raise and show livestock as their FFA supervised agricultural experience (SAE). Macy Evans and Cali Foglesong exhibited hogs at the state fair. Each member has taken responsibility in raising their pigs from the spring up until the targeted exhibition date. Foglesong owns sows and raises some of the pigs that she exhibited. Evans selects hogs to purchase and raise throughout the season and has maintained production records each year of membership. Results from the Iowa State Fair swine shows for Creston FFA members are: Evans – fourth purple commercial gilt and purple for market barrow; Foglesong – seventh-place purebred breeding Hampshire gilt, eighth-place purebred Yorkshire market barrow, and ninth-place in class with a crossbred market barrow. The Creston FFA Chapter earned a purple banner in swine herdsmanship.

Dalten Bierle received top honors with his purebred Suffolk breeding ewe at the state fair, earning the best of show Suffolk ewe and was highlighted in the Iowa FFA parade of champions. Bierle has been involved in raising sheep all of his life; raising sheep is his passion where he continually looks to improve genetics and raise superior lambs. Gracie Russell, an out-of-school member of Creston FFA and student at Iowa State University has continued her involvement in FFA by exhibiting market lambs at the state fair. Results from the sheep show for Bierle are supreme champion Suffolk ewe, reserve champion Suffolk ewe, champion Suffolk ram, 10thplace in class speckled wether, seventh-place in class yearling ewe, 12th-place in class yearling ewe; Russell: second in class purple and blue with market lambs.

Creston FFA President Mattie Wheeler began her market goat enterprise as a freshman.

Through the years, she has enhanced her abilities in selecting breeding stock to build her own herd of Boer goats.

Wheeler’s experience in taking responsibility of building her SAE through FFA is an

excellent example of how SAE projects teach young people how to make decisions, take responsibility and to set and achieve goals. Results from the meat goat show for Wheeler are ninth-place blue 7-9 month old buck, third-place purple 7-9 month old doe and third-place purple 21-24 month old doe.

Riding a horse is one thing but to train a horse to compete at the Iowa State Fair is another feat. FFA members Jessica Beatty and Taylor Sorrells exhibited horses at the fair in many disciplines. Each of these members has rode horses from a very young age and have taken it upon themselves to advance in skills to become outstanding equestrians. The state fair FFA horse show is a large show and is an awesome demonstration of horsemanship skill. Results from the horse show for FFA members are Sorrells earned top 10 blue in trail; top 10 purple in ranch pleasure, top 10 blue in reining and top 20 blue in western equitation; Beatty earned blue ribbons in ranch pleasure, trail and flag race.

Tyler Waddingham, one of Creston FFA’s out-of-school members exhibited rabbits at the state fair. Similar to other members, Waddingham began his rabbitry as part of his SAE program while in high school.

Waddingham has exhibited a variety of rabbit breeds and has been successful in raising rabbits from breeding stock as well. Results from the rabbit show for Waddingham are best of breed, best opposite Himalayan, champion meat pen and reserve champion fryer.

New to exhibiting at the state fair was Dakota Burgmaier with his restored Allis Chalmers tractor. Restoring his grandpa’s tractor is a project Burgmaier has worked on throughout his high school and serves as his SAE project.

Burgmaier was a recipient of the Titan Tire tractor restoration project award where he was given a set of tractor tires.

Burgmaier’s tractor was entered into the first-time tractor restoration class and earned a blue ribbon at the state fair.

He has future plans to restore another tractor to exhibit at the FFA Iowa State Fair agricul-

OPINION

Creston News Advertiser | Tuesday, September 26, 2017

Advancing Iowa’s renewable energy economy As I travel throughout the 16 counties of the Third District each month, I get the opportunity to learn firsthand about the new technologies Iowans are using to more efficiently produce biofuels and harness renewable energy to power our state and country. The renewable energy economy in Iowa has created high-paying jobs, increased exports valuable to America’s economy and ultimately helped Iowa families save more of their hard-earned money.

During my time in Congress, I’ve been a strong advocate for our biofuels economy.

Earlier this month, an amendment to protect renewable energy I offered to the Make American Secure and Prosperous Appropriations Act passed unanimously. My amendment removed a harmful provision in

U.S. Congressman David Young Republican

the bill prohibiting the Department of Agriculture (USDA) from using funds to “develop, facilitate, or expand production of, an alternative fuel” for the Department of Defense (DoD).

In addition to protecting jobs and our environment, the renewable energy sector could be strategically beneficial to our military. It’s important the DoD has the flexibility to work with other agencies to find other sources of energy since home grown fuels reduce our reliance on foreign sources of energy that could present challenges to our national security.

By removing the restriction on allowing the DoD to work with the USDA, Iowans will continue to have the ability to contribute to our military’s energy supply and researchers across the state can continue to work on groundbreaking discoveries to increase America’s energy independence without facing unnecessary Washington-imposed hurdles.

Additionally, the tens of thousands of jobs in the renewable energy sector will be protected as the industry continues to grow.

A recent report from the Clean Energy Trust shows job growth across the renewable energy sector is happening 11 times faster than all other sectors in Iowa. This job growth coupled with the importance of allowing our military to have the freedom to make choices to improve our

national security while also potentially saving taxpayer dollars is why it was important for me to remove this restriction to the development of renewable energy.

Iowans know using renewable energy creates competition in the market which helps to drive down the cost to consumers, grows our local economies, and puts more money in the pockets of our families – this is why our great state is a leader in alternative fuels and why I’ve continually pressed the EPA to get the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) back on track. The RFS, which was created by Congress, requires transportation fuels have a minimum amount of renewable fuels blended into them.

The RFS provides consumers with fuel choices, increases energy independence, boosts rural economies and protects the envi-

ronment.

Americans want fuel ‘Made in America’. It not only protects us from market volatility, but it keeps your energy dollars in America – supporting communities around the country. By continuing our commitment to American made renewable energy, we can support farmers in Iowa and those across the country who are working to ensure we have real energy security.

Talking with the folks across the Third District, they are proud to see the crops our farmers grow are powering vehicles and moving people and America’s goods across the country. Our farmers are working hard to fuel the country and feed the world, and I’m honored to continue to fight for them in Congress to ensure Washington, DC dictates don’t hinder their important work.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Special thanks for help paying for groceries From Ruby Turner Creston

I want to say a special thanks to the nice lady who paid money on my groceries at Fareway a week

or so ago. I could not find out who she was and neither of the checkers knew who she was. By the time I was told the money was given to me, she was gone.

I was really surprised and it made me feel so good.

The latest horror film HOLLYWOOD – God bless America, and how’s everybody?

Stephen King’s horror film “It” packed the theaters again, setting a fall box-office record. Movie audiences love to get scared. But why pay $12 to go see a Halloween movie when you can turn on the news for free and watch Rocket Man Dotard and Godzilla battle it out in the Sea of Japan.

President Trump addressed an Alabama rally Friday where he encouraged NFL owners to fire their players who refuse to stand during the “Star Spangled Banner.” NFL players should stand up for the national anthem. It gives them good practice for when the judge walks into the courtroom.

Steph Curry provoked an NBA war with President Trump by refusing a White House invite before it was extended to the team.

Other NBA stars leaped to Curry’s side. You know we’re in for it all winter when you cannot tell if comments about Trump are from LeBron James or Kim Jung Un. North Korea’s foreign minister gave a speech to the UN in which he labeled Trump President Evil.

Everyone’s upset. The Washington Post, the New York Times, CNN, CBS, NBC and ABC had eight months to come up with the nickname President Evil and couldn’t, and North Korea did it in two days.

entering the housing market. You realize you are maturing when you have house plants and you can’t smoke any of them.

Florida beach spotters warned of seeing a surplus of sharks offshore in the warm-water wake of Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Jose and Hurricane Maria. However, a recent study revealed that more Americans have died taking selfies than from shark attacks.

Apple officials reported their new iPhone X available in November will be unlocked by facial recognition and have the finest camera ever in a cell phone. You kids have it so easy today. When I was in college, guys and girls didn’t have smartphones; we had to undress for each other in person.

USA Today says Christian numerologists had calculated that Saturday would be the end of the world and Judgment Day. It’s a partisan concern. Republicans are terrified that when the Rapture occurs and the righteous are called to Heaven, it will leave the Democrats with a permanent majority.

Kim Jung Un vowed Tuesday to detonate a hydrogen bomb in the atmosphere over the Pacific

Ocean, setting off alarm bells in the U.S. No one knows when he’s kidding. Kim Jung Un executes cabinet members, girlfriends and uncles at the drop of a hat, but curiously he allows his barber to live.

Kim Jung Un fired off a bitter message to the United States after President Trump convinced the Chinese banks to cut off North Korea. He didn’t pull any punches. The dictator called Trump deranged, a frightened dog, a dotard and a gangster, which prompted CNN to offer Kim his own show.

The Pentagon revealed Friday that U.S. Air Force bombers fully loaded with nuclear weapons flew missions along the coast of North Korea last week. It was no problem. Since the coast of North Korea isn’t that far from Nagasaki and Hiroshima, they already know the flight plan really well.

Hillary Clinton’s new book “What Happened” topped the best-seller lists on Sunday. Bill Clinton collected $12 million for his memoirs while Hillary collected $8 million. That’s $20 million for the memories of a couple who for years have repeated, under oath, that they couldn’t remember anything.

O.J. Simpson is scheduled for release from Nevada state prison on parole this week and then he plans to fly home to his residence in Florida. His commercial endorsement value is iffy at best.

The Florida Citrus Growers just offered O.J. $1 million cash if he will change his name to Snapple.

McCain calls brain cancer prognosis ‘very poor’ WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. Sen. John McCain says doctors have given him a “very poor prognosis� as he battles brain cancer.

McCain underwent surgery in July for a brain tumor that was later found to be a form of glioblastoma, the same type of cancer that took the life of his former Senate colleague Edward M. Kennedy in 2009. McCain tells CBS’ “60 Minutes� in an interview that aired

Sunday night that he thinks about Kennedy a lot. He says Kennedy continued to work despite the diagnosis and “never gave up because he loved the engagement.�

McCain says he has “feelings sometimes of fear of what happens,� but counters that with gratitude for having lived “a great life.�

He adds: “it’s not that you’re leaving, it’s that you — that you stayed.

Better late than never? Library book returned 78 years later ATTLEBORO, Mass.

(AP) — It took nearly 80 years, but a book borrowed during the Great Depression has been returned to a Massachusetts public library.

The Attleboro Public Library posted on its Facebook page Thursday pictures of a copy of “The Young Lady at Home,� by T.S. Arthur. The book was returned this week. The due date stamped at the back of the book? Nov. 21, 1938.

Library deputy director Amy Rhilinger tells WPRITV a man had been cleaning out his friend’s basement when he came across the book. She says the library staff thought it was “awesome� the book was returned even though it’s in terrible condition and can’t go back into circulation.

Rhilinger says the library isn’t trying to collect late fees, either. She says they’d amount to almost $2,800.

‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’ dethrones ‘It’ with $39M debut NEW YORK (AP) — The R-rated spy comedy “Kingsman: The Golden Circle� displaced the horror sensation “It� as the No. 1 film in North America, while the second “Lego Movie� spinoff of the year didn’t assemble the expected audience.

The 20th Century Fox release opened with a weekend-leading $39 million debut, according to studio estimates Sunday. But “It� still continues to pull in record crowds. With $30 million over the weekend, “It� is now the highest-grossing horror film of all time, not accounting for inflation, with $266.3 million thus far. (1973’s “The Exorcist� grossed $232.9 million domestically, or more than $1 billion in 2017 dollars.)

Twentieth Century Fox’s “Kingsman� sequel sought to expand on the 2015 original’s $36.2 million opening, and its $414 million worldwide take. Matthew Vaughn’s sequel returned stars Taron Egerton and Colin Firth, while adding Channing Tatum, Halle Berry and others. Made more for audiences than critics, reviews for the gleefully distasteful spy romp were poor, at 51 percent fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.

Fox could celebrate an uptick the second time around, albeit a small one. “The Golden Circle� also debuted with $61 million overseas, giving it a $100 million global weekend.

Vaughn is planning a third “Kingsman� film. “We’re seven percent bigger than the last one, which opened on a holiday weekend,� said Chris Aronson, distribution chief for Fox. “We grew the franchise. We’re very happy.�

The Stephen King adaptation “It,� from Warner Bros. and New Line, may have slightly eaten into the ticket sales for “Kingsman.� Few believed “It� would still be such a draw in its third week of release; horror films usually drop severely after release. But the film has already established itself as the biggest hit ever in the month of September — a welcome relief to Hollywood after a dismal August.

The “Lego Movie� spinoff “The Lego Ninjago Movie,� was further off expectations, debuting with $21.2 million. Phil Lord and Chris Miller’s “The Lego Movie� — the 2014 hit that made $469 million worldwide — kicked off a bustling franchise. “Ninjago,� though, is the second spinoff of the calendar year, following February’s “The Lego Batman Movie.�

That release opened with $35 million and grossed $312 million in total — marks that “Ninjago� appears will fall well short of.

It may be two “Lego� movies in a year were too many. “I was hoping we’d do more. I’m disappointed this weekend didn’t come in a little higher,� said Jeff Goldstein, Warner Bros. distribution head. “We know that each one of these ‘Lego’ movies are different properties. This one played young.�

In its second week of release, Darren Aronofsky’s already infamous psychological thriller “mother!� failed to turn the tide. The film, made for $30 million, last week became one of the few movies to receive an “F’’ CinemaScore on release. The horror parable, starring Jennifer Law-

rence, slid to sixth place with $3.3 million, bringing its two-week haul to $13.4 million. Paramount has proudly defended the film as intentionally divisive, daring filmmaking, the kind seldom produced by major studios.

The week also saw the first wave of fall awards contenders in specialty release. The Billie Jean King-Bobby Riggs drama “Battle of the Sexes,� with Emma Stone and Steve Carell; the Boston Marathon bombing survivor tale “Stronger,� with Jake Gyllenhaal; and the Queen Victoria drama “Victoria & Abdul,� starring Judi Dench, all debuted in limited release.

Lionsgate’s “Stronger� grossed $1.7 million on 574 screens. Focus Features’ “Victoria & Abdul� scored a per-theater average of $37,933 on four screens, along with a two-week international total of $12.4 million. And Fox Searchlight’s “Battle of the Sexes� earned $525,000 on 21 screens.

Theaters are suddenly flush again. Though the year is still 4.6 percent behind the pace of 2016, the month of September is up 20 percent, according to comScore. “The fact that we’re sitting here in September on the verge of what looks like a record-breaking month, powered by the unprecedented success of ‘It,’ tells you how quickly box-office fortunes can rise and fall in this marketplace,� said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore.

Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters according to comScore.

Worlds of Islam, Michael Jackson collide in Egyptian film CAIRO (AP) — An Egyptian ultraconservative Muslim preacher hears on his car radio news of the death of Michael Jackson, the pop singer he idolized in his teens, and he becomes so distraught he crashes his car.

The news of the passing of the King of Pop is the start of a crisis of conscience for Sheikh Khalid Hani, the main character of the movie “Sheikh Jackson,� Egypt’s first feature film to focus on the religious movement known as Salafis, followers of one of the strictest interpretations of Islam.

It follows Sheikh Hani, a Salafi, as his love for Michael Jackson throws him onto a bumpy journey to discover his own identity, mirroring how Egypt’s

conservative society is torn between its Islamic and Arab traditions and Western culture in an age when television, telecommunications and social media bring together people and cultures from all corners of the world. “I no longer cry while I am praying. That means my faith is faltering,�

Hani confides to a female psychiatrist in one scene.

Crying while praying, he explains, reflects his fear of God. The film goes beyond examining Salafis, says the director, Amr Salama. “It’s about humanity. ... It tells you that one’s identity is not a single dimension or an unchangeable thing,� he told The Associated Press just days before “Sheikh

Jackson� premiered in the Toronto Film Festival earlier this month.

It’s a journey Salama has some experience in: He was a huge Jackson fan in his teens and then became Salafi during his university years, before moving away from the movement.

Salafism is one of the most closed, uncompromising visions of Islam. Its doctrine is primarily built around what its followers believe is emulation of the actions of the Prophet Muhammad.

They are easily recognized by their chest-long beards and robes that reach to just below the knees. They shun music, film and dance and outside influences seen as decadent. Salafi women wear the all-covering niqab, including veils over their

faces.

Followers view life as little more than a transitional phase and are contemptuous of worldly pleasures.

Immortality in heaven is their chief goal.

When Hani goes to the psychiatrist — who he thought by her ambiguous name was a man — he asks her to put on a headscarf during their sessions. She refuses, and throughout their talk, he can’t look at her. When she asks him the last thing that made him feel alive, his response comes from Salafi doctrine: “I bought my shroud and wrote my will.� He occasionally sleeps under his bed, convinced that it is the closest thing to being inside a grave, thus a reminder of his mortality.

CROSSWORD PUZZLE

Dear Readers: When you are riding in the back seat of a car, taxicab or ride-sharing service, do you BUCKLE YOUR SEAT BELT? It’s a great idea to do so. Adults, children and animals all should be in approved restraint devices, regardless of where seated.

Remember physics class?

In the event of a collision, your body will continue to move unless something acts against it (the seat belt, in this case, to restrain you).

If your body is moving, you can become a projectile and seriously injure other people in the vehicle, and become injured yourself.

It may or may not be the law in your state. Check the Governors Highway Safety Association (www.GHSA. org) for the laws of your state, and remember, safety is always priority No. 1. – Heloise TOWEL TROUBLE Dear Heloise: I hate the “new” washing machines.

I like water to fill the tub.

My towels have an odor like mildew.

I hope you can help me.

I’m glad you picked up where your mom left off. – Dana W., Memphis, Tenn.

Hi, Dana. Yes, I can help you. Here are some hints: * Don’t overload the

washer. * Layer towels evenly in the washer. * Fabric softener is not good for towels – it can impede absorption. * Using the hottest washer setting, add 1/2 to 3/4 cup of baking soda with a SMALL amount of detergent in the washer. Launder as usual, and dry. This should help eliminate the sour smell.

Did you know that baking soda is a workhorse around the house? It’s great for cooking, cleaning and beauty – a multitude of uses for only pennies per use!

I’ve compiled my favorite baking soda hints and recipes in a handy pamphlet – would you like to receive one? It’s easy! Visit www.

Cubs beat Cards to near clinch ST. LOUIS (AP) — Say cheese!

Addison Russell and the Chicago Cubs were all smiles after moving within a victory of another division title Monday night.

Russell hit a three-run double in the first inning, then made a food run for a fan in enemy territory while the Cubs beat the St. Louis Cardinals 10-2. Chicago can wrap up the division with a win Tuesday against the Cardinals or a loss by Milwaukee against Cincinnati.

Russell helped the Cubs get to starter Luke Weaver (7-2) early, then made some friends out of rival fans. After diving into the stands chasing a foul ball down the third-base line and spilling a man’s tray of chips, Russell emerged from the dugout a few innings later with a plate of nachos and delivered it to the fan. Russell stopped to take a selfie before heading back to play shortstop.

“That was pretty entertaining,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said.

Someone brought a plate of nachos to the dugout a little later, and Russell decided to make the delivery.

“Normally I don’t do that,” Russell said with a laugh. “But being the case of me being nachoed all over, even on my cleats, I thought ‘What, why not?’ A once-in-a-lifetime experience. He had a great night at the ballgame.

“You don’t want to get in front of a man and his nachos,” he added.

The loss eliminated St. Louis from NL Central contention and dimmed the Cardinals’ wild-card hopes. Colorado entered Monday leading Milwaukee by two games and St. Louis by 2 1/2. The Brewers were idle Monday, and Miami played at Colorado.

Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina was taken out of the game in the seventh inning after he took two foul balls off his catcher’s mask.

Carson Kelly took over for Molina. St. Louis announced he is in concussion protocol.

“I haven’t heard from the medical team yet and I don’t know what’s going on,” St. Louis manager Mike Matheny said. “Obviously, the first one gave us some concern. After checking him, he said everything was OK and he was ready to go and he just needed a second.

“Unfortunately, the second one got him a little bit better and at that point, there was not going to be a conversation.

We needed to get him out.”

Jon Lester (12-8) pitched six innings, allowing five hits and a run for the Cubs. Chicago is 11-2 in its last 13 CUBS/CARDS | 10A

A slow start was not enough to keep the Creston junior varsity volleyball team from defending its home court at Saturday’s home tournament, as the Panthers defeated Clarke 21-18, 21-18 to finish strong.

The Panthers split twoset matches with Clarke and Nodaway Valley, and took two sets from East Union before squaring off with the Indians again in the final, where they won hard-fought victories.

“Our serving was a little off. Our passing was off. We

slowly throughout the day got it together and finished strong,” Creston co-coach Naomi Sharp said.

Kelsey Fields and Samantha Dunphy finished the morning’s play strong at the net.

“Kelsey Fields had a great day at the net.

She did a really good job,” S h a r p said. “She Fields wasn’t real on at the beginning, but she was making sure she was getting them in play and using her tip until she finally got her timing down and she started swinging away the last two games.”

Prescott, Cowboys pull away to beat Cardinals

By BOB BAUM AP Sports Writer

GLENDALE, Ariz.

(AP) — Dak Prescott kneeled with his teammates and team owner before the game, flipped head over heels for a touchdown in the first half and capped his night with a 37-yard TD pass that proved to be the game winner.

The Dallas Cowboys erased last week’s ugly memory on Monday night, with their young quarterback leading the way.

“He just kept battling,” Dallas coach Jason Garrett said.

“He kept making good decisions. Obviously he made some good plays, big-time throws, but as much as anything else he’s got an amazing spirit and our players follow him.”

The Cowboys (2-1), bouncing back from a 4217 pummeling in Denver, began the game kneeling at midfield with owner Jerry Jones in a show of unity that followed widespread

protests across the NFL of critical comments by President Donald Trump over the weekend.

After they kneeled, they stood and walked to the sideline and stood for the anthem.

“We planned and it was executed that we would go out and kneel,” Jones said, “and basically make the statement regarding the need for unity and the need for equality.”

Prescott, 13 of 18 for 183 yards, broke a 14-14 tie with a 37-yard scoring pass to Brice Butler with 11:52 to play.

“I immediately scrambled and when I scrambled Brice took the right angle and the right initiative going to the back of the end zone,” Prescott said.

Arizona, with a spectacular catch by Larry Fitzgerald for 24 yards on a third-and-18 play, moved downfield but the drive stalled. Phil Dawson’s 37yard field goal cut the lead to 21-17 with 6:35 left.

Ezekiel Elliott, who

gained 8 yards on nine carries against Denver and drew criticism for not hustling after a couple of late interceptions, was bottled up much of the game, but still gained 80 yards on 22 attempts, 30 on one play.

He ran 8 yards for the final Cowboys touchdown.

The Cardinals (1-2), in their home opener, got a big game from Fitzgerald, who caught 13 passes for 149 yards, in the process moving ahead of Marvin Harrison into eighth in career receiving yards. The 13 receptions tied a career high.

“That’s Fitz. It’s Monday night,” Arizona coach Bruce Arians said. “He’s a money player. It was a great performance by him.

It’s a shame we couldn’t play better around him.”

Big first half

Carson Palmer had a big first half, completed 15 of 18 for 145 yards and finished 29 of 48 for 325 yards and two scores. He was sacked six times, a career-high three by DeMar-

cus Lawrence.

The Cardinals dominated the first half statistically, but were deadlocked with the Cowboys at 7-7.

Arizona had a 152-57 advantage in yards and dominated time of possession 19:34 to 9:41.

Arizona took the opening kickoff and went 82 yards in eight plays. Palmer was 5-for-5 on the drive, capped by a 25-yard touchdown pass to Jaron Brown.

Before Dallas even had a first down, Arizona mounted a nearly nine-minute drive but a touchdown pass to Brown was negated by a holding penalty and Phil Dawson’s 36-yard field goal try was wide right. It was the third mid-range miss for the 41-year-old kicker this season.

And the miss left the door open for the Cowboys to get back in it.

Prescott scored on a 10yard run, flipping headfirst over the goal line to tie it at 7-7 with 3:33 left in the half.

TAKING A KNEE:

Jones has been a staunch supporter of President Donald Trump, so the speculation was that he would not allow his players to kneel during the national anthem.

Following a weekend of kneeling and protesting across the NFL, the Cowboys and their owner displayed their own version of unity Monday night, kneeling on the field before rising as a group and going to the sideline for the national anthem.

Boos heard

Numerous boos rang out across University of Phoenix Stadium as the Cowboys kneeled and continued as the players rose, still arm-in-arm, and stepped back to the sideline as the flag was unfurled across the field. They remained connected as Jordin Sparks sang the national anthem.

The Cardinals had their own symbol of unity after a weekend of protests in the NFL, gathering along the goal line arm-in-arm during the national an-

them. They were joined by team president Michael Bidwell, his family and general manager Steve Keim.

“It’s just to show unity,” Cardinals team captain Frostee Rucker said.

“There’s so much negativity going on. People are trying to pull us apart. We always want to stay together.”

More than 200 NFL players kneeled, sat or prayed during the national anthem on Sunday after President Trump said any player who does not stand for the national anthem should be fired.

Sparks, whose father Phillippi played in the NFL, had “PROV 31:8-9” written on her hand while she sang the anthem.

The bible verse says: “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”

Lester brought an 8.22 ERA over his last five starts, allowing seven earned runs in two of those outings. “Much better game tonight,� Lester said. “I felt better.�

Javier Baez hit a three-run homer in the third inning, but left the game shortly after fouling a pitch off his left leg in the eighth inning. Not until after hitting a single, though. Maddon thought Baez might be able to play Tuesday.

Kris Bryant hit a homer and added two singles for Chicago.

Weaver gave up eight runs over three innings. Chi-

cago stopped his streak of winning seven consecutive starts, the longest by any Cardinals rookie since Ted Wilks in 1944.

With two outs in the first, Russell hit a double to right, scoring Bryant, Anthony Rizzo and Ben Zobrist.

Jason Heyward followed Russell with a run-scoring double.

Bryant hit his 29th homer of the season in the second with two outs for a 5-0 Cubs lead.

Jedd Gyorko got a run back for the Cardinals in the second with a one-out home run, the first of his three hits, into left field to cut the lead to 5-1.

Baez hit his first homer since Sept. 13 with two outs,

driving in Zobrist and Heyward in the third, giving Chicago an 8-1 advantage.

St. Louis rookie Luke Voit hit a pinch-hit home run in the seventh.

The Cubs added two runs in the eighth to complete the scoring.

health care law. The political stakes are high for Trump, who has promised to bring 3 percent economic growth and expanded jobs through tax cuts.

Trump was meeting at the White House on Tuesday morning with members of the tax-writing House Ways and M e a n s C o m m i t - Trump tee, including its chairman, Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, and the committee’s top Democrat, Rep. Richard Neal of Massachusetts.

Vice President Mike Pence was expected to hold events in Michigan and Wisconsin on Thursday to pro- Pence mote the tax plan with business leaders.

The plan being assembled lays out “pro-growth tax reform,� Brady told reporters on Capitol Hill.

It will fix a tax code that is “so complex, so costly and so unfair,� he said. Brady predicted the plan “will deliver the lowest tax rates on businesses in modern history.�

Details will be filled in later by the committee, and legislation will be put forward after the House and Senate enact their budget frameworks, Brady said.

Republicans are divided over the potential elimination of some of the deductions, underscoring the difficulty of overhauling the tax code even with GOP control of the House and Senate.

House Republicans planned to hold a retreat Wednesday at Fort McNair in Washington, D.C., a few miles from the White House, to discuss the proposal, with briefings led

by Brady and Rep. Peter Roskam, R-Ill. Pence was

expected to attend.

Trump planned to address the plan in a speech the same day at the Indiana State Fairgrounds in Indianapolis. Cabinet members and other top administration officials were fanning out on Thursday to talk about the benefits of overhauling the tax system. “The tax reform I think is very critical and he knows that,� said Christopher Ruddy, the CEO of NewsMax and a longtime Trump friend. “And that’s why he’ll push really hard for it. But he’s got something big going for him here. The Republicans need to run on something next year and it’s tax cuts. So even if they don’t want to be particularly helpful to him, I think they’re going to give him

this. If he has the tax cuts signed, I think it’s going to be very helpful for him.�

Touching with his conservative base, Trump planned to discuss the tax plan at dinner Monday night with representatives of several conservative, religious and anti-abortion groups.

Outside Republican groups and business interests are also planning a major push to advocate for the tax framework.

Corry Bliss, the executive director of the American Action Network, a conservative advocacy group, said it planned to spend $12 million — atop the $8 million it spent laying the groundwork for the tax overhaul — to help win passage of the plan.

“There’s an understanding among outside groups, among members, among Republicans across the country that there is a desperate need to cut middle-class taxes,� Bliss said, noting “excitement and relief� among outside groups that it was “finally time� to push the tax package in Congress.

Republicans control Congress but they are split on some core tax issues.

They’re in agreement on wanting to cut tax rates and simplify the byzantine tax system but they’re divided over whether to add to the government’s ballooning debt with tax cuts. The GOP also is at odds over eliminating the federal deduction for state and local taxes.
