Driver hits Newton pedestrian, leaves scene Des Moines man arrested Newton Daily News

Kayla Langmaid/Daily News A car lets out clouds of smoke after being struck during the annual Colfax Demolition Derby. Thousands gather at the Jasper County Fairgrounds Saturday for the annual events, which is part of the Mineral Spring days celebration.

‘Hit ‘em hard’

Annual demo derby draws thousands to Colfax

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News COLFAX — Most motorsports events are centered around the goal of not colliding with other vehicles or igniting fires. The Colfax Demolition Derby, however, encourages both.

Thousands of onlookers cheered and hollered during the Mineral Springs Days demo derby event Saturday night. Event organizers hauled out extra sections of bleachers at the Jasper County Fairgrounds and even that wasn’t enough seating space for all.

Derby drivers traveled statewide to participate in the annual event, which began in 2008. Oth-

er drivers, like father-daughter duo Forest and Sadie Parks, traveled just down the road in their hometown to participate.

Forest Parks has been participating in demolition derbies for 35 years. He is now able to say the car-smashing hobby is a family affair.

The derby for Forest Parks on Saturday night was an abnormal one as he ended up overturning his car.

“I got to going and ran into that station wagon and caught my wheel on it, drove up on it and rolled over,” Forest Parks said. “All my kids came running out there, thought their old man got hurt.”

Forest Parks had no injuries

to report thanks to his seatbelt.

In addition, the ride was special because of a certain decal on his car that was a tribute to his late mother.

“Twenty-one days ago my mom passed away, and she loved going to the races with us,” Forest Parks said. “She raced gokarts, and I had number six on my car, which was her number with “KP” on the top of that.”

That “KP” stood for Karen Parks. Forest Parks said she was a dedicated grandmother who loved to watch her grandchildren at the derby.

Sadie Parks has been participating in derbies for three years, DERBY | 8A

A Des Moines man is accused of striking a pedestrian with his vehicle in Newton and leaving the scene Thursday night. The accident caused severe injuries for the pedestrian following an alleged argument.

The Newton Police Department was called at 9:39 p.m. to 500 First Avenue West. Officers found a victim with a severe leg injury and lacerations.

The victim and witnesses identified the driver of the vehicle as

Brian H. Boertje, 42, of Des Moines.

A c c ord ing to police, Boertje Boertje and the victim knew each other and had been arguing before he struck the victim.

Boertje was arrested in Grinnell Thursday and taken to the Jasper County Jail.

Boertje is charged with willful injury, a class C felony and leaving the scene of a personal injury accident, an aggravated misdemeanor.

Campaign Kick-off Chichaqua Valley Trail celebrates 30 years UWJC begins annual campaign with concert

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News

United Way of Jasper County kicked off its campaign in a new style through an evening community event.

To make the campaign official, around 150 attendees filtered in and out of the Newton DMACC/ Maytag Innovation Center and courtyard Saturday evening with food, beverages and music. The low-key atmosphere was a perfect opportunity for several local organizations and businesses to hand out information and make connections.

Playing in the background was the band Time Will Tell from Grinnell and a grilled meal was catered by Hy-Vee. The 2018 campaign will run through Nov. 17, with a goal of $330,000. The money raised will be granted to area nonprofits who provide health and human service programs to Jasper County

BAXTER — Pedalers around the state of Iowa ventured out on the Chichaqua Valley Trail, which celebrates 30 years in 2017, Saturday and Sunday during the Pedaler’s Jamboree bike ride and music festival.

The Pedaler’s Jamboree is for cyclists and music lovers. Iowa native and self-described RAGBRAI lover, Mike Denehy, founded the Jamboree nine years ago in Missouri. The event grew to 3,000 riders and in 2015, Denehy returned to Iowa bringing the bike ride music festival to his home state.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Monday, Aug. 28, the 240th day of 2017. There are 125 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 28, 1917, ten suffragists demanding that President Woodrow Wilson support a constitutional amendment guaranteeing women the right to vote were arrested as they picketed outside the White House.

On this date: In 1862, the Second Battle of Bull Run (also known as Second Manassas) began in Prince William County, Virginia, during the Civil War; the result was a Confederate victory.

In 1916, Italy declared war on Germany during World War I. In 1922, the first-ever radio commercial aired on station WEAF in New York City; the 10-minute advertisement was for the Queensboro Realty Co., which had paid a fee of $100.

In 1955, Emmett Till, a black teen-ager from Chicago, was abducted from his uncle’s home in Money, Mississippi, by two white men after he had supposedly whistled at a white woman; he was found brutally slain three days later.

In 1963, more than 200,000 people listened as the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his “I Have a Dream” speech in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. In 1972, Mark Spitz of the United States won the first two of his seven gold medals at the Munich Olympics, finishing first in the 200-meter butterfly and anchoring the 400-meter freestyle relay. The Soviet women gymnasts won the team all-around.

In 1996, Democrats nominated President Bill Clinton for a second term at their national convention in Chicago. The troubled 15-year marriage of Britain’s Prince Charles and Princess Diana officially ended with the issuing of a divorce decree.

Ten years ago: After reports surfaced of his June arrest at the Minneapolis airport, Senator Larry Craig, R-Idaho, told a news conference the only thing he’d done wrong was to plead guilty to disorderly conduct after a police complaint of lewd conduct in a men’s room; Craig also declared, “I am not gay. I never have been gay.”

Five years ago: Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney swept to the Republican presidential nomination at a storm-delayed national convention in Tampa, Fla. Hurricane Isaac spun into the southern Louisiana coast, sending floodwaters surging and unleashing fierce winds, as residents hunkered down behind boarded-up windows.

One year ago: Six scientists completed a yearlong Mars simulation in Hawaii, where they emerged after living in a dome in near isolation on a Mauna Loa mountain.

Today’s Birthdays Former MLB manager and player Lou Piniella is 74. Actress Barbara Bach is 71.

Actress Debra Mooney is 70. Singer Wayne Osmond (The Osmonds) is 66. Olympic gold medal figure skater Scott Hamilton is 59. Actor John Allen Nelson is 58. Actress Emma Samms is 57. Actress Jennifer Coolidge is 56. Country singer Shania Twain is 52. Actor Billy Boyd is 49. Actor Jack Black is 48. Actor Jason Priestley is 48.

Olympic gold medal swimmer Janet Evans is 46. Country singer Jake Owen is 36.

Country singer LeAnn Rimes is 35. Actor Armie Hammer is 31. Rock singer Florence Welch (Florence and the Machine) is 31. Actor Kyle Massey is 26. Reality TV star Alana Thompson, AKA “Honey Boo Boo,” is 12.

Entertainment Box-office eclipse: Hollywood has worst weekend in years NEW YORK (AP) — Hollywood effectively took the weekend off, resulting in one of the most dismal box-office results in 16 years.

An already slow August came to a screeching halt at the multiplex, where no major new releases were unveiled. That left the Samuel Jackson-Ryan Reynolds action-comedy “The Hitman’s Bodyguard” to top all films for the second week with an estimated $10.1 million in ticket sales.

But the entire slate of films grossed only about $65 million in North America and the top 12 films generated just $49.6 million. There have been similarly slow weekends in recent years, including early September in 2014 and in 2016. But not since September 2001 have the numbers been quite so dreadful.

Jamboree Continued from Page 1A Some bicyclists camped out in Baxter Friday night following the kick-off party at Cadillac Jack’s as they anticipated the official send-off at 9 a.m. Saturday.

Around 1,000 riders traveled from concert to concert with stages in Baxter, Ira, Mingo and Valeria, before ending the day at the main stage in Bondurant. The ride then hit each town on a return route to Baxter with music, food and drinks along the CVT. “We had at least 1,000 riders coming from six different states,” Gennypher Popenhagen Baxter Hometown Committee chairperson said.

By 2 p.m., hundreds were stopped in Mingo and partaking in food, drinks and listening to The Maytags rock the stage. Some were stopped for a short rest, while others were camped out in lawn chairs or laid out on blankets.

David and Heidi French, of Pleasant Hill, sat on a three-wheel bicycle for two, and enjoyed a much-needed break. The couple headed out from Baxter that morning for their first jamboree experience.

Heidi French said they have been biking for the last four years as a re-

laxing hobby.

“It’s awesome and a great time,” Heidi French said. “We learned about the event through a biking association we are a part of.”

The Frenchs said they plan to ride the trail again after the event.

Some peddlers were more familiar with the trail like Shawn Prendergast, of Newton. Prendergast said he has participated in the jamboree event since its inception.

Along with his expertise in the Chichaqua Valley Trail, Prendergast is also a 16-year participant of RAGBRAI. “I know about 200 people here,” Prendergast said. “It’s a great experience if you haven’t been out here and done this.”

As the event wrapped up Sunday evening, Popenhagen said it was wonderful to have such an amazing and fun event in Baxter.

“We nearly doubled in population Saturday morning,” Popenhagen said. “It was so neat seeing all riders out and all the community members out and supporting the riders and our local vendors.”

Popenhagen said she hopes to bring the Pedaler’s Jamboree back next year.

Jessica Lowe, UWJC Executive Director said.

“Usually the campaign just starts and I wanted to bring awareness.”

Lowe said the campaign’s goal has increased by 10 percent from last year and Saturday’s event was just the beginning.

Councilwoman Evelyn George, who currently serves as the Ward 2 representative, has decided to run for the at-large seat in the upcoming election.

She cited the possibility of a move within the city for changing her seat. The seat was vacated by former councilwoman Lin Chapé in July and is currently filled by appointed former councilman Jeff Price until the newly elected council member is sworn in.

Also voicing their desire to fill the at-large seat is Garfield Berndt III, who previously ran for the mayoral position in the 2015 election, and citizens Lance Hawley and Matthew Holmes.

The council seat in the fourth ward is currently being held by Steve Mullan. Mullan recently announced he will again be running for the seat in the November election.

Mayor Mike Hansen has also said he will run for re-election. Hansen has served as Newton’s mayor since 2012 when he took over for mayor Chaz Allen, who stepped down to take a position at the Jasper County Economic Development

ovie laid lethargic on the exam room table. Her face is always so expressive. Wednesday her face was filled with doubt, skepticism of what’s to come, questioning why she can’t gallop and grin like every other day and wonder about the lady in the white coat and her plans for that metal stick (thermometer) near her butt.

The veterinarian told us last week our dog was either suffering from severe

bronchitis or fungal pneumonia. The doctor said, through the stethoscope Jovie’s lungs sounded “a little busy,” and a chest X-ray revealed her lungs were full of either infection or fungus. The bronchitis is bad, but the fungal pneumonia could be fatal.

This was a huge blow. Betsy and I do not have children, but we are parents — dog parents. In the last year, Jovie has become one of the most important parts of our lives. When she first came into our home Jovie was not ready to roam around the apartment unsupervised.

Any piece of wood, plant or gym sock would surely be a target for her puppy

pallet. Jovie was gated into the kitchen.

We would spend hours with her on the kitchen floor playing and napping. We trained her to sit, stay, shake and roll over — that was a tough one. This helped fight her anxiety of the world and created our strong bond.

It took three days before it dawned on us, Jovie’s illness could be serious. By day one, when she laid sadly in her kennel after we opened the door, we knew something was wrong. By day three, Jovie refused to move. I had to lift her off the bed to get her ready for the vet. Our little “Scoots,” usually inches her way from the foot of the bed to her nook between us, finally, resting her little head on the pillows right between ours. But this time she laid motionless.

The vet told me Jovie wasn’t even close to the worst condition she’s seen. The doc said many pet owners become par-

alyzed, either financially or emotionally, and do not seek treatment until their animal is skin and bones and nearly lifeless.

We knew the vet bill was going to hurt, but when we adopted Jovie we knew we were also adopting a responsibility for her health and well-being.

After five days of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories, I’m happy to report our little Jovie Beans is back to her energetic self, although still a little cautious of her surroundings. It’s important to recognize the signs and catch your pet’s illness early. If your four-legged friend is not acting like his/herself, appears to lack energy or is vomiting and has liquid stool, the “wait and see” approach is not the answer.

A pet is a member of the family, in sickness and in health.

Eye on America John Stossel

Al Gore’s hype I was surprised to discover that Al Gore’s new movie begins with words from me!

While icebergs melt dramatically, Gore plays a clip of me saying, “’An Inconvenient Truth’ won him an Oscar, yet much of the movie is nonsense. ‘Sea levels may rise 20 feet’ — absurd.” He used this comment from one of my TV shows.

The “20 feet” claim is absurd — one of many hyped claims in his movie.

His second film, “An Inconvenient Sequel,” shows lower Manhattan underwater while Gore intones: “ This is global warming!”

My goodness! Stossel doubts Al Gore’s claim, but pictures don’t lie: The 9/11 Memorial is underwater!

Gore is right! Stossel is an ignorant fool!

But wait. The pictures were from Superstorm Sandy.

Water is pushed ashore during storms, especially “super” storms. But average sea levels haven’t risen much.

Over the past decade, they have risen about 1 inch.

But this is not because we burn fossil fuels. Sea levels were rising long before we burned anything. They’ve been rising about an inch per decade for a thousand years.

In his new movie, Gore visits Miami Beach. No storm, but streets are flooded! Proof of catastrophe!

But in a new e-book responding to Gore’s film, climate scientist Roy Spencer points out that flooding in “Miami Beach occurs during high tides called ‘king tides,’ due to the alignment of the Earth, sun and moon. For decades they have been getting worse in low-lying areas of Miami Beach where buildings were being built on reclaimed swampland.”

It’s typical Al Gore scaremongering: Pick a place that floods every year and portray it as evidence of calamity.

Spencer, a former NASA scientist who co-developed the first ways of monitoring global temperatures with satellites, is no climate change “denier.” Neither am I. Climate changes .

Man probably plays a part. But today’s warming is almost certainly not a “crisis.” It’s less of a threat than real crises like malaria, terrorism, America’s coming bankruptcy, etc. Even if increasing carbon dioxide warming the atmosphere were a serious threat, nothing Al Gore and his followers now advocate would make a difference.

“What I am opposed to is misleading people with false climate science claims and alarming them into diverting vast sums of the public’s wealth into expensive energy schemes,” writes Spencer.

Gore does exactly that. He portrays just about every dramatic weather event as proof that humans have changed weather. Watching his films, you’d think that big storms and odd weather never occurred before and that glaciers never melted.

In his first movie, Gore predicted that tornadoes and hurricanes would get worse. They haven’t. Tornado activity is down.

What about those dramatic pictures of collapsing ice shelves?

“As long as snow continues to fall on Antarctica,” writes Spencer, “glaciers and ice shelves will continue to slowly flow downhill to the sea and dramatically break off into the ocean. That is what happens naturally, just as rivers flow naturally to the ocean. It has nothing to do with human activities.”

Gore said summer sea ice in the Arctic would disappear as early as 2014. Nothing like that is close to happening.

Gore’s movie hypes solar power and electric cars but doesn’t mention that taxpayers are forced to subsidize them. Despite the subsidies, electric cars still make up less than 1 percent of the market.

If electric cars do become more popular, Spencer asks, “Where will all of the extra electricity come from? The Brits are already rebelling against existing wind farms.”

I bet most Gore fans have no idea that most American electricity comes from natural gas (33 percent), coal (30 percent) and nuclear reactors (20 percent).

Gore probably doesn’t know that.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

White Supremacy carries more than a tiki torch

Our president has no trouble naming his enemies — CNN, Rosie O’Donnell, Nordstrom, immigrants, Muslims, the all-women version of “Ghostbusters,” etc. etc.

But when it comes to violent white supremacists, his passive streak is impossible to miss.

When neo-Nazis and Klansmen incited a riot in Charlottesville, Trump famously blamed “many sides.”

Even after a belated statement finally condemning the racist perpetrators, Trump immediately backtracked. The very next day, he blamed the fictitious “altleft” for the violence and insisted there were “many fine people” among the torch-bearing Confederates.

This was far too much even for many Republicans.

Senator Jeff Flake accused the president of “making excuses” for “acts of domestic terrorism.”

John McCain insisted “there’s no moral equivalency between racists” and their opponents. Marco Rubio worried the president was resurrecting an “old evil,” while Texas Rep. Will Hurd called on Trump to apologize.

These Republicans (and many others) deserve credit for speaking out. But condemning Nazis is the lowest bar in the broader fight against white supremacy.

The fact is, the policy machinery of that supremacy — that is, the laws that systematically ensure negative outcomes for people of color — hums hot as ever.

No hoods or flags required.

Another View Peter Certo I wonder, for instance, whether these Republicans will also condemn their former Senate colleague Jeff Sessions. As Trump’s attorney general, Sessions is preparing an assault on affirmative action practices at universities as we speak.

Before that, Sessions ordered federal prosecutors to seek stiff mandatory minimum sentences for nonviolent drug offenders, which is a major driver of the mass incarceration crisis that disproportionately locks up nonwhite Americans (“the new Jim Crow,” law professor Michelle Alexander calls it).

Sessions also looks likely to tear up federal reform plans for police departments with documented histories of brutality and racism.

What does his party have to say about that?

I wonder, too, whether they’ll call out Trump’s bogus panel on “voter fraud” led by Kris Kobach.

Every study on the subject shows that “voter ID” laws and other restrictions do almost nothing to reduce in-person voter fraud.

Makes sense: In-person fraud is virtually non-existent.

But these laws do have a proven effect in keeping African Americans, Latinos, and poor people away from the polls.

That’s exactly why they’re still cropping up in GOP-controlled states all over the country.

And what will these Republicans say about the states — all 27 of them — who’ve passed laws preventing cities from raising their minimum wages? That directly lowers wages in jobs dominated by women and people of color, who lag far behind white men in both income and wealth.

Finally, will they speak out against the several states now considering laws that would let drivers run over protesters who block roadways?

Those roadway-blocking tactics were popularized by Black Lives Matter activists and supporters of indigenous pipeline resisters, so it’s little wonder who these lawmakers imagine being run over. Especially after a neo-Nazi rammed his car into the anti-racists gathered in Charlottesville.

I’m glad the Republicans now speaking out say they loathe white supremacy. Good.

But white supremacy is more than racist name-calling or flag-waving. Most days, it’s a mundane system that pits the law against our non-white neighbors — and laws don’t need anyone to “feel” racist for them to work.

They can look perfectly colorblind on paper, but they’re not.

Republicans — and all of us — need to be every bit as ready to name the machinery of white supremacy as we are to condemn its nastiest supporters. Otherwise we’re just making excuses, too.

Childhood dog bite victim is happy with pet-free life

DEAR ABBY: I’m not a dog person. I’m not even an animal person.

I am, however, surrounded by dog owners — my family, my husband’s family, my neighbors. Back in middle school, I was bitten several times by dogs while delivering my paper route.

My husband has been without a dog for five years (since the beginning of our relationship). Over the last six months, he has begun to ask when he can get “us” a dog. I absolutely do not want one. They’re not clean, they make “messes,” and we will constantly have to find someone to care for it when we travel. I have told him this, yet he continues asking. We can’t even agree on a hypothetical breed of dog.

I suppose I could say, “Go ahead,” with the condition that my husband will have to shoulder all pet-related responsibilities. But we both know how well that will work out. What do you think? — WARY IN WISCONSIN DEAR WARY: There’s a saying, “Once bitten, twice shy.” Because you have been bitten more than once, your reason for not wanting a dog seems logical. Frankly, I think it would be unfair to the animal to bring it into a household in which it wasn’t unanimously welcomed. And if you think your husband would lay the responsibility for caring for the dog on you, you should not agree.

DEAR ABBY: My 62-year-old father has recently started to streak his hair with fluorescent colors. He does it when he goes to his job and coordinates his hair color with his outfits.

As far as I know, his employer has not said anything as of yet.

Also, Dad has difficulty with social cues. My mother and I aren’t happy with his “fashion” choices and we plead with him to stop doing this. It’s embarrassing because it looks stupid and ridiculous. He claims he doesn’t

care what others think and that he has flair.

Are my mother and I wrong to criticize his “flair”? Isn’t this behavior really inappropriate for a man his age?

How can we convince him that he’s making a fool of himself and should stop? Your help is appreciated. — NO FOOL LIKE AN OLD FOOL DEAR N.F.L.A.O.F.: Repeat after me: We cannot change other people; we can only change the way we react to them. Understand that how your father presents himself reflects only on him — not you. Because you and your mother have tried reasoning with him and he refuses to listen, you all might be happier if you stop making HIS fashion choices YOUR problem.

DEAR ABBY: My wife seems to only want to have sex with me when I’m supposed to be at work. It’s really flattering, but I am at risk of losing my job. We don’t have enough savings to last more than a couple of months if I’m out of work. She wanted me to call in sick today, but I didn’t know how to say no without offending her.

Help! — JOHN IN CANADA DEAR JOHN: Try this. Ask your wife, “Which is more important to you — me in your bed or food on the table and a roof over our heads? I’ll be home by 6 o’clock. Be ready!”

An odd trend in wheat country: not much wheat

David Dolmage/Daily News Vanessa Young, center, poses with her scholarship award Thursday at Accura Healthcare West in Newton flanked by Sarah Dietze, administrator at Newton East and Cindy Baddello, representative from the Iowa Healthcare Association.

Lifelong goal of working health care within reach for Newton woman

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News Some kids rebel against their parents, but others, like Vanessa Young choose to follow in their footsteps. Young, whose mother worked as director of nursing at Accura Healthcare in Newton, knew at an early age her passion for health care would shape her future. Thanks to a scholarship she’s received, she’s able to move that dream forward.

The scholarship, from the Iowa Health Care Association Foundation, is a $1,000 John R. Grubb grant that will help Young finish her coursework. Currently Young is pursuing a master’s degree in health care administration at Kaplan University.

“Tuition is very expensive, this will help cover the cost of classes and books,” Young said.

In a press release Sarah Dietze, an administrator at Accura, praised Young’s passion for long-term care, saying “She is one of the most motivated and determined people that I have ever met, her caring and compassionate nature along with her incredibly strong leadership skills are an asset to the health care industry.”

Young, a Newton native, has always had a passion for longterm care. Her first job at 14 was as an environmental tech at Accura, making beds, passing ice water and passing meal trays. She also worked as a dietary aide and then became a certified nursing assistant. Before taking a position as the provisional administrator at Accura Healthcare of Newton West she was the business office manager at Accura Healthcare of Newton East.

“Now I run the building,” Young said.

That experience has shaped Young’s management skills, and when employees come to her with their concerns, she can relate, because she’s been in their shoes before.

“I know what they’re saying.

I’ve been there and done that,” Young said.

While it might be unconventional how comfortable Young feels in the nursing home, she’s had plenty of practice. Growing up, she’d often visit her mother at work, and she has a stack of pictures from her childhood that show her trick or treating at the home, and even stopping in to see the residents on prom night.

“It just feels so natural, this has been my home away from home,” Young said.

Tammy Oertel, the director of nursing has known Young for decades. When she found the scholarship application online she pushed Young to apply for it.

Oertel said it’s rare to find someone who has the passion for long term care that Young does.

“She’s been a wonderful addition to our building,” Oertel said.

“She’s been my savior on occasions.”

Even while working on the business side of the nursing home Young has continued to pick up shifts and fill in as a CNA because she hates to be away from the residents. Adjusting to working on the business side of the long term care facility has been a challenge for Young, who’s had to learn how every facet of the operation functions. While tough at times, Young is committed towards her goal, it’s all she’s ever wanted to do.

“I feel so comfortable in the nursing home, I can’t imagine doing anything else,” Young said.

DES MOINES (AP) — An odd thing has happened in wheat country — a lot of farmers aren’t planting wheat.

Thanks to a global grain glut that has caused prices and profits to plunge, this year farmers planted the fewest acres of wheat since the U.S. Department of Agriculture began keeping records nearly a century ago.

Instead of planting the crop that gave the wheat belt its identity, many farmers are opting this year for crops that might be less iconic but are suddenly in demand, such as chickpeas and lentils, used in hummus and healthy snacks.

“People have gone crazy with chickpeas.

It’s unbelievable how many acres there are,” said Kirk Hansen, who farms 350 acres south of Spokane in eastern Washington, where wheat’s reign as the king crop has been challenged.

American farmers still plant wheat over a vast landscape that stretches from the southern Plains of Oklahoma and Texas north through Kansas, Nebraska and the Dakotas as well as dry regions of Washington and Oregon. However, this year’s crop of 45.7 million acres is the smallest since 1919.

North Dakota harvested wheat acres are down 15 percent, Montana 11 percent and Nebraska 23 percent, to

the state’s lowest winter wheat acres on record.

Fewer farmers planted wheat after a 2016 crop that was the least profitable in at least 30 years, said grain market analyst Todd Hultman, of Omaha, Nebraska-based agriculture market data provider DTN. Many farmers took notice of a surging demand for crops driven by consumer purchases of healthy high-protein food.

“The world wants more protein and wheat is not the high-protein choice and so that’s where your use of those other things come into play and are doing better,” Hultman said. “Up north around North Dakota you will see more alternative things like sunflowers, lentils and chickpeas.”

How long the new trend will continue is unknown. While some farmers will likely switch back to wheat when profitability returns, others may keep planting the alternatives because demand is expected to remain strong, keeping prices at attractive levels.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, acres planted in chickpeas, also known as garbanzo beans, are at 603,000 this year, up nearly 86 percent from last year.

North Dakota more than tripled chickpea acres planted to 44,100 and Montana increased acres 150 percent to 247,000.

Iowa museum keeps collection of Confederate flags in vault DES MOINES (AP) — The State Historical Museum of Iowa in Des Moines has seen thousands of people pass through its “Iowa and the Civil War” exhibit, but those visitors don’t see the 34 Confederate battle flags tucked away in the museum’s underground vault.

News of the flags comes at a time when Americans are debating the symbolism of the flag

and whether to remove public statues of Confederate figures.

Michael Morain, communications manager for the Iowa Department of Cultural Affairs, said the flags are not on display because they are not central to the history of Iowans shown in the exhibit.

Iowa was a Union state, and more than 76,000 Iowans fought for the Union Army.

The long-term Civil War exhibit focuses on Iowans and their experiences before and during the war, and how that affected Iowa life after the war, Morain told The Des Moines Register .

That means some of the Confederate items, including the battle flags, are a lower priority for display, he said.

“One of the things that goes

back to the time since Iowans were fighting in military conflicts was to capture your opponents’ flags,” said Leo Landis, a curator for the State Historical Museum of Iowa. “If you were a standard bearer for your unit, you were greatly at risk, and so we have a number of flags from Southern units.”

Some of the Confederate flags were captured by Iowa troops in

Columbus, Georgia, near the end of Civil War, Landis said.

Confederate flags also were seized by Iowans at clashes in states such as Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi and South Carolina.

Other Confederate-related items, such as a spy’s pistol, a bugle, cannon supplies, spurs and a sword, are on display in the exhibit.

etty Ward has long been a familiar face at Skiff thanks to her

volunteer work in the Auxiliary gift shop. Unfortunately, her

recent times at the hospital have been for less enjoyable reasons.

“My mom has had a few falls,” said Betty’s daughter, Mary

Ahrenholz. “These falls have led to various injuries, including a

broken wrist, broken bones in her feet and fractured vertebrae.”

Betty is 90 years old, and she has been married to her husband

Dean for nearly seven decades. Mary, who doesn’t live locally,

said it is difficult being far away from her mother during times of

injury and ill health.

“Being hospitalized is tough during the best of circumstances, but

even more so when your family can’t be right there all the time,”

Mary said. “That is why it gave us such tremendous peace of mind

when we observed the remarkable care she received from the Skiff

nurses. Knowing she was in such good hands put us at ease.”

The nurses were not alone in going above and beyond for Betty.

Mary was astonished by the efforts of the Skiff dietary staff when

Betty struggled with a complete lack of appetite.

“The staff offered to make foods not available on the room service

menu to see if that would help her want to eat, because they knew

how important nutrition was to her healing,” Mary said. “Our

hearts were touched by their generosity. The cafeteria staff at Skiff

is one of the best parts of this hospital.”

Mary wrote not one but two letters to Skiff president Laurie Conner

to highlight those who dedicated themselves to Betty’s care.

“I want to make sure they know their efforts have blessed us and

have not gone unnoticed,” said Mary. “I say thank you to them

from the bottom of my heart.”

Cardinals handle Bulldogs in opener

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News OTTUMWA — Newton High’s Cardinals scored 42 points against Ottumwa’s Bulldogs for the second season in a row. It was deja vu for the two teams Friday at Ottumwa’s Schafer Stadium as Newton claimed a 42-7 win.

Last year’s game ended with a 42-6 Cardinal win.

“It’s great to get this win to start the season,” senior center Benny Cheng said. “The younger guys — we have four new starters on the (offensive) line — did well for the first game. We have some things to fix, but this was a good start.”

Newton’s offense scored on its first possession of each half. The Cardinals were up 14-0 at halftime then took complete control on a fiveplay, 66-yard drive to begin the third quarter.

Senior running back Josh Miravalles, who rushed for 121 yards on 16 carries in the game, had three straight carries up the middle against the Bulldog defense. He gained 19 yards then fellow senior running back Jaron Roush broke out for a 47-yard dash to the Ottumwa 2-yard line.

Miravalles pushed his way across the goal line for the first of his two TDs in the second half. Zach Combs, senior placekicker and safety, nailed an extra point to give Newton a 21-0 lead with 9:54 left in the third quarter.

“At halftime, we talked about how the first five minutes of the second half were the most important,” Cheng said. “We came out and executed.”

Under the direction of senior quarterback Garrett Sturtz, Newton High’s offense clicked more often than not in

the 2017 season opening game.

There were good, bad and better aspects of how the Cardinals played in the opener.

“Overall, I was really pleased with what we did tonight,” Cardinal head coach Ed Ergenbright said. “We’ve got to get better though.”

Ottumwa took the opening kickoff and moved the ball against the Newton defense. The

Bulldogs executed their veer offense with the running of junior Sam Yeaway and senior quarterback Addison Coram.

The Cardinal defense stopped Yeaway for a threeyard gain on a fourth-down and seven play at the Newton 24-yard line.

“You have to see the veer offense and get a feel for it.

We made the adjustments on

defense during that first drive of theirs. After that, we held them in check, especially on the ground,” Ergenbright said.

Ottumwa finished with 129 yards rushing and 65 of those yards came on the opening drive of the game.

Hawks win battle up front, take down Colfax-Mingo

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Both Lynnville-Sully and Colfax-Mingo planned to run the football as part of their offensive gameplan during their non-district battle Friday night.

Only one team was successful though, and that team came out on top when the clock hit all zeroes in the fourth quarter.

Lynnville-Sully opened its 2017 campaign with 49-17 triumph over Colfax-Mingo in part because it ran for 252 yards offensively and held the Tigerhawks to 24 rushing yards defensively.

“Our main goal was to run right down on them. The line did a nice job of making holes for the backs tonight,” Lynnville-Sully junior lineman Rylan James said. “We created some big holes, and we protected for Elijah (Collins) well. It was a good effort by the guys.”

The Hawks threw for only 47 yards, but eight different ball carriers combined to average 6.3 yards per carry against Colfax-Mingo’s defense.

None of those ball carriers had more than 12 carries.

L-S coach Mike Parkinson and his coaching staff ran everything from fullback dives to counters to options to wide receiver end arounds.

“We have a lot of guys who can run the ball. We have enough guys to mix

Junior Tyson Vander Linden scored once on the ground and another through the air from senior quarterback Elijah Collins.

Junior Gage Vander Leest also scored once on the ground and another time on a 30-yard punt return in the third quarter to put the Hawks up 36-10.

“We needed to play a game against someone to figure out what we can do and what we need to work on,” Parkinson said. “We’ll go back to work and just try

Lynnville-Sully scored first on its second possession of the game. Senior Brevin Hansen capped a five-play, 44-yard drive with an 8-yard touchdown run.

The Tigerhawks fumbled away their next possession on the second play of their second drive.

One play later, Collins hit Vander Linden on a 24-yard touchdown strike to put the Hawks up 13-0.

HOUSTON (AP) — The Houston Astros and Texas Rangers won’t travel to Houston as planned after their games Sunday in California because of torrential floodwaters that have engulfed the city in the wake of Hurricane Harvey.

The Rangers had been scheduled to head to Houston after playing Oakland to await the start of a three-game series with the Astros beginning Tuesday.

Instead, they’ll return to Dallas to await word on its status. The Astros are in Anaheim and also will fly to Dallas while a decision is made on when and where the series will be played.

“We have been in continuous contact with the Astros and Major League Baseball regarding travel tonight and the status of this week’s series,” Rangers president and general manager Jon Daniels said. “We will continue to talk throughout the day to get updates on the situation.”

Astros manager A.J. Hinch said the team was in a holding pattern.

“We’re going to fly to Dallas and really just sit there and wait to see what happens,” he said before Houston’s game against the Angels.

“Really, I think everything is up in the air. We might get to Houston sometime in the next couple of days and play. We might not, so I don’t know what’s possible.”

Baxter bolts out to early lead, wins 8-player debut with ease

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MAYNARD — Baxter High School’s 8-player era started with a big road win on Friday night.

The Bolts led 46-8 after one quarter and cruised to an easy victory over West Central in its 8-player debut.

Senior Braydon Aker threw for 124 yards, rushed for 39 more and accounted for six of the Bolts’ 10 touchdowns. Aker was 9-of-11 through the air.

Baxter outscored West Central 14-0 in the third quarter.

The Bolts won the fourth quarter, 12-7.

Senior Travis Lindemoen added a receiving TD and freshman Kael Johnston tallied a touchdown on the ground.

Lindemoen rushed for 41 yards on three carries and he caught 28 receiving yards on two catches.

Mustangs finish 1-3 at West Marshall volleyball tourney

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Hoyer has stellar half for 49ers before Vikings rally MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Brian Hoyer had the San Francisco offense humming after sputtering through the first two preseason games, passing for 176 yards and two touchdowns in the first half before the Minnesota Vikings rallied for a 32-31 victory over the 49ers on Sunday night.

Sam Bradford and the Minnesota starters again failed to reach the end zone, though Bradford was sharp when given time to throw.

Jerick McKinnon scored on a 108-yard kickoff return in the third quarter, boosting his bid to take over that role.

Backup quarterbacks Case Keenum and Taylor Heinicke led a late charge, with Heinicke’s hurdle over the pylon for the 2-point conversion on the final play giving the Vikings the win after Terrell Newby’s touchdown run with no time left.

Hoyer found Marquise Goodwin wide open for a 46-yard touchdown strike and Carlos Hyde out of the backfield for a 24-yard connection, some evidence of how new coach Kyle Shanahan’s scheme could pick up the pace after the 49ers were one of the league’s lowest-scoring teams the last three years.

The backups were buzzing, too, with an 87yard score by Raheem Mostert off a screen pass from former Iowa Hawkeye C.J. Beathard on third-and-22 in the third quarter and a short touchdown run by Mostert in the fourth quarter.

turnovers in the game.

Leading the way defensively was senior Marcus Mitchell, who had 9 1/2 tackles and three tackles for loss. Carson had 5 1/2 tackles and a fumble recovery.

Johnston and senior Joe Keeling each had one interception. Junior Will Clapper and sophomore Carter Nelsen each had a fumble recovery.

Baxter makes another long road trip when the Bolts take the trek to Remsen-St. Mary’s at 7 p.m. Friday in Remsen.

PCM can’t hold lead against Eagles in football opener

312 on offense.

Pella Christian rushed for 231 yards, and PCM threw for 265.

The biggest difference came in the penalties category. PCM committed 12 penalties for 93 yards. Pella Christian (1-0) only Cummings had seven penalties for 35 yards.

Junior Wes Cummings led the offense with 55 rushing yards and 51 receiving yards on six catches.

Van Wyk tallied 120 receiving yards on three catches, and junior Jarron Trausch chipped in 57 receiving yards and Telfer five catches.

The PCM defense played well, but Pella Christian quarterback Noah Treimer threw for 81 yards and rushed for 141 and three touchdowns.

Leading the Mustang defense was junior Brycen Rogers’ 7 1/2 tackles.

Junior Cole Dustin had seven tackles, and senior Jacob Ponder added 5 1/2 tackles and one sack.

Cummings tallied five tackles, and junior Brayton Van Dyke also had a sack.

PCM tries for its first win of the season against Class A Montezuma at 7 p.m. Friday in Monroe.

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Big-hitting rookie Rhys Hoskins homered yet again — and he added a game-changing diving catch to his repertoire.

Hoskins went deep for the fifth straight game, and his stellar grab started a triple play in the fifth inning, leading the Philadelphia Phillies to a 6-3 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday.

“Their guy (Hoskins), who’s going to the Hall of Fame next week, makes another play,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “He beats you with the bat. He beats you with the glove.”

Hoskins led off the eighth with a drive to left-center to give him 11 home runs in his first 18 games over 64 at-bats, becoming the fastest in major league history to reach 11 homers.

Yankees Shane Spencer and Gary Sanchez, who previously shared the mark for fastest to 11 homers, needed 81 at-bats.

Hoskins, who has 24 RBIs, was called up from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Aug. 10. He’s batting .297 and slugging .828, with 11 walks and 13 strikeouts.

“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a young guy look that profound at home plate,” Maddon said. “Look at his walk to strikeouts. That’s the part that tells me he can sustain, not necessarily this pace, but he can sustain because he doesn’t strike out.”

Hoskins’ only blemish was a seventh-inning error after moving to first base.

Nick Williams also homered for the Phillies, who have gone deep in nine straight games, hitting 20 homers over that span.

Nick Pivetta (5-9) allowed three runs on six hits in five innings to get the win. Hector Neris worked a perfect ninth for his 16th save in 19 chances.

Anthony Rizzo had a pair of RBIs for the NL Central-leading Cubs, who began play three games in front of Milwaukee.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PELLA — The Prairie City-Monroe football team couldn’t hold a halftime lead against its highway rival on Friday night.

The Mustangs led 14-10 after two quarters against Pella Christian, but the Eagles rallied to a 24-22 victory at home in the season opener for both teams.

It was PCM’s sixth straight loss against Pella Christian, but Friday’s defeat was the closest deficit during that streak. The Mustangs’ last win in the series came in 2011.

PCM junior Reed Worth threw for 260 yards for the Mustangs, but Pella Christian’s defense captured three interceptions and held the Mustangs to 100 yards rushing.

PCM (0-1) scored a touchdown with 1:47 left in the game to get within two, but the Mustangs couldn’t convert the 2-point conversion to tie it.

Senior Noah Anderson gave the Mustangs a halftime lead with a 94yard kickoff return touchdown in the second quarter.

Worth tossed touchdown passes to juniors Isaac Telfer and Preston Van Wyk. Van Wyk’s touchdown catch covered 57 yards. Telfer’s TD catch went for 11 yards. Telfer also had 6 1/2 tackles and an interception on defense.

The statistics were pretty even on both sides.

Pella Christian (15) had one more first down than PCM (14), but the Mustangs outgained the Eagles 357-

Newgarden races to fourth IndyCar win of season MADISON, Ill. (AP) — Josef Newgarden bumped past Penske teammate Simon Pagenaud and drove away to his fourth IndyCar series victory of the season Saturday night at Gateway Motorsports Park.

Pagenaud was in front heading into Turn 1 on the 218th lap, but left a lane open for Newgarden, who got his nose under Pagenaud as they exited Turn 2. When Pagenaud didn’t give, Newgarden forced the issue and bumped Pagenaud, forcing the 33-yearold Frenchman to back off — dropping him to third.

“One thing I didn’t want to do was touch him too hard,” Newgarden said. “I think if I would have stayed too far left, I would have jumped the curb and that would have taken both of us out. I tried to get Simon to move over a little when we were coming to the opening of the corner.

“We both had to slow up.

Fortunately, worked out well for us. Pagenaud didn’t get up into the wall or anything like that, so I would say it worked out OK for him, too.”

Pagenaud ended up finishing third behind Chip Ganassi driver Scott Dixon.

“I think if it wasn’t me, he would be in the fence with somebody else,” Pagenaud said. “He doesn’t have respect for me. I’ve never seen Scott

do that to his teammates in his career, whole career. .... At the moment it’s not something I really want to talk about with him. But it will come to a conclusion, I’m sure.”

Newgarden was asked about Pagenaud’s respect comment.

“He knows we’re racing,” Newgarden said. “He knows we’re going to race in the future. We’re going to race for many years. This isn’t the first time we’ll battle, I’m sure.

Hopefully, he knows next time it’s getting a little tight

in the corner, give me a little more room.”

The 26-year-old Tennessee driver increased his series points lead over Dixon to 31 with two races remaining in the 17-race schedule. Dixon finished 0.6850 seconds back.

“I guess that’s the best we could have hoped for,” Dixon said. “It’s was definitely going to be a tough race for us, but the car was actually very good.

I think we had a better mechanical grip than the group we were racing with, with the Penskes, and especially toward

the end of the run.”

Pagenaud was third, followed by Penske’s Helio Castroneves and AJ Foyt Racing’s Conor Daly.

Newgarden led 170 of the 248 laps on the 1.25-mile oval en route to his seventh career victory and Penske’s fourth at Gateway and 196th overall.

Newgarden has won three of the last four races, also winning on road and street courses at Toronto and Mid-Ohio during the run. He won on the road course in Alabama in April.

“I hope the fans enjoyed

it,” Newgarden said. “We had an awesome race. It was a lot about strategy and fuel-saving and then a good battle with Simon at the end.”

Sebastien Bourdais was 10th for Dale Coyne Racing in his return from a fractured pelvis and right hip sustained in an accident in Indianapolis 500 qualifying in May. “It wasn’t an easy race,” Bourdais said. “We knew the car wasn’t perfect and I had some really complicated restarts. I don’t know what was going on, but I got loose three times and I almost stuffed it, and so I went to the back of the pack. The guys did a really good job in the pits and got us back in contention there at the end.”

The first 17 laps were run under yellow after the caution came out before the cars could make an official lap when Tony Kanaan spun out at the exit of Turn 2.

Then when the green flag finally flew, pole-sitter Will Power immediately dropped to third entering Turn 1 as Newgarden took the lead.

But, before Power could make it through Turn 2, he spun, hit the outside wall and Ed Carpenter flew in the air and over the top of Power’s machine.

Indianapolis 500 winner Takuma Sato also spun in the melee. All three were unable to continue.

Jeremy Clements takes Road America for first career Xfinity Series win

AP Photo Floyd Mayweather Jr. hits Conor McGregor in Saturday’s super welterweight boxing match in Las Vegas. Mayweather scored a TKO in the 10th round against the MMA fighter McGregor to improve to 50-0.

Mayweather dominates McGregor in late rounds LAS VEGAS (AP) — Floyd Mayweather Jr. put on a show in the last fight of his spectacular career.

Conor McGregor didn’t do so badly, either.

Mayweather figured out a 50th opponent Saturday night, letting McGregor have the early rounds before stalking him late and leaving the mixed martial artist defenseless and exhausted on the ropes in the 10th round.

It was a smashing end to a career that earned Mayweather more money than any fighter before him — including an estimated $200 million for his last bout.

“I think we gave the fans what they wanted to see,” Mayweather said. “I owed them for the (Manny) Pacquiao fight.”

Mayweather battered McGregor around the ring in the later rounds, finally stopping him at 1:05 of the 10th with a flurry of punches that forced referee Robert Byrd to stop the fight.

Before a pro-McGregor crowd that roared every time the UFC fighter landed a punch, Mayweather methodically broke him down after a slow start to score his first real stoppage in nearly a decade. He did it in what he said would be his final fight, against a man who had never been in a professional boxing match before.

McGregor boxed surprisingly well but after landing some shots in the early rounds, his punches seemed to lose their steam. Mayweather then went on the pursuit.

McGregor backpedaled most of the way, stopping only to throw an occasional flurry as Mayweather wore him down.

“I turned him into a Mexican tonight,” McGregor said. “He

fought like a Mexican.”

Though Byrd cautioned McGregor for hitting behind the head on two different occasions, there were no real fouls in the fight, and McGregor never tried to revert to any MMA tactics McGregor had vowed to knock Mayweather out within two rounds, and he won the early rounds with movement and punches to the head. But the tide of the fight turned in the fourth round as Mayweather seemed to figure out what he had to do and began aggressively stalking McGregor.

Mayweather was credited with landing more than half his punches, as he solved McGregor’s defense after a few rounds.

Ringside statistics showed him landing 170 of 320 punches to 111 of 430 for McGregor.

In a fight so intriguing that it cost $10,000 for ringside seats, McGregor turned in a respectable performance for someone in his first fight. He switched from southpaw to conventional at times and used his jab well, but Mayweather’s experience and his ring savvy paid off as he executed his game plan to perfection.

“Our game plan was to take our time, go to him and take him out in the end,” Mayweather said.

“I guaranteed everybody this fight wouldn’t go the distance.

McGregor was trailing badly on all three ringside scorecards through the ninth round, with scores of 89-81, 89-81 and 8783.

The Associated Press had it 87-84.

McGregor’s challenge of Mayweather was fueled by social media and turned into a spectacle as the two fighters promoted the bout.

ELKHART LAKE, Wis. (AP) — Jeremy Clements battled Matt Tifft down the stretch at Road America before pulling away to the finish line after the two leaders spun out near the end of the second-to-last lap for his first career Xfinity Series victory.

Working with fresh tires down the stretch, Clements chased down Tifft after pitting with nine laps left to surrender the lead.

Clements finally caught up with Tifft on the 44th lap, with their cars spinning into the dirt on last turn of the 14-turn road course.

The 32 year-old Clements recovered first and sped away on the last lap to capture the checkered flag for the first time in 256 Xfinity series races.

Des Moines native Michael Annett passed Tifft to take second, 5.8 seconds behind Clements.

Tifft settled for third.

Series leader Elliott Sadler finished 14th.

Qualifying for the 45-lap race was cancelled because of weather, with rain having fallen earlier in the morning.

The starting grid was determined by owner points, so Austin Cendric took the pole in his No. 20 Ford for Team Penske in his Xfinity Series debut.

Plans

cago, effectively making the contests home games for the Cubs. Chicago won both of those games, with Carlos Zambrano throwing a no-hitter in the first one, leaving the Astros furious about the move.

The Rangers and Astros were just the latest teams to change their travel plans because of the storm, which settled over the Texas coastline Saturday before sending devastating floods pouring into the nation’s fourth-largest city.

The NFL’s Texans flew to Dallas after their preseason game Saturday in New Orleans instead of returning home and have said they’ll stay there until conditions improve enough for them to come back to Houston.

The Texans are scheduled to host the Cowboys at NRG Stadium on Thursday, but that game could be in jeopardy with massive flooding in the city and rain continuing to fall.

While in Dallas waiting out the storm, Texans star J.J. Watt started a fundraising page to help raise money for victims of the storm. By Sunday afternoon the page had already raised more than $110,000.

“It’s very tough to watch your city get hit by such a bad storm and not be there to help,” Watt said in a video posted on Twitter.

The storm has also raised questions about whether the AdvoCare Texas Kickoff game between LSU and BYU can be played on Saturday night at NRG Stadium. Doug Thornton, a New Orleans-based executive with SMG who oversees the Superdome, said that the

Superdome is available on Saturday if needed.

“We hope they can play in Houston, but if they can’t, we stand ready to help them out if they have to do something else. ... everybody feels confident we could host a game if we needed to,” he said. “We just need some prior notice. ... by the end of Tuesday would be fine. But if they called Wednesday at noon (I’m) sure could find way.”

NRG Stadium is also managed by SMG and Thornton said it hasn’t been damaged but flooding around the stadium would make it difficult to get there.

“The facility is not going to be the issue,” Thornton said. “It would be the workers and support services needed. Would there be sufficient support services to host a football game, staffing and things like that?”

The University of Houston’s football team went to Austin on Friday, practiced there on Saturday and will resume practice Sunday on the University of Texas campus.

It could make sense for the team to remain in Austin for the week with the Cougars scheduled to open the season on Saturday at Texas-San Antonio, which is just about 80 miles from Austin.

A team spokesman said Sunday that the team hadn’t made any plans for the rest of the week yet.

Rice opened its season this weekend in Australia against Stanford. The Owls will arrive in Los Angeles from Australia on Monday morning at 8:30 and said Sunday they’ll decide if they can travel to Houston when they arrive there.

Continued from Page 1B scheduling are communicating with the teams and monitoring the situation.

While Hinch knows there is interest in when and where the Astros will play, he was quick to point out that they’re far more worried about what the storm has done to Houston than anything related to baseball.

“The most important thing is (that) baseball is secondary right now,” he said. “Our schedule, our flight times, where we’re going to be, the buses, like all that stuff is meaningless compared to what everybody is suffering through.”

Texas manager Jeff Banister echoed Hinch’s sentiments.

“The best thing for all of us is to allow them to survive through this, understanding that when all this water recedes and it’s gone, there’s still a monumental challenge for all of them, the cleanup and kind to assess where they’re at,” he said. “This is not a situation where we put baseball in front of what’s important for these people.

So for us to have to defer and go somewhere else, it’s no issue for us.”

Some have suggested that this week’s series with the Rangers could be moved to Arlington. If it is, it wouldn’t be the first time home games in Houston have been moved to another park because of a hurricane.

In the wake of Hurricane Ike in 2008, MLB moved two games with the Chicago Cubs to Milwaukee, about 95 miles from Chi-

Trying to make something work is more frustrating when you’re under the impression that others are doing this with no problem. Well, they aren’t -- not all of them. Most put on a good face. You might be surprised what’s underneath.

The lunar change from Scorpio will peel back a few masks.

However you feel, you’re not alone in it.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 28). This solar return brings an exciting new social trajectory.

You’ll learn fast and much.

The business you get into in November will be helped along by friends. There’s a family addition in 2018 that opens up

new horizons for the whole group. Take lots of pictures and records to keep track of this fast-moving year. Taurus and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 40, 11, 34 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

On a gut level, you know the investments of energy, time or money that are right for you.

Honor you limits and also your instincts toward outrageous generosity.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Stop struggling. No one will gain from extraneous effort.

There’s someone close with the power to help or maybe even

make the whole dilemma go away. Reach out.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The pressure is off -- except for, of course, the pressure you’re putting on yourself, which is more or less a constant. Is this really necessary?

Ease up a little and then, if you feel OK about that, maybe a little more.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Your instincts are honed.

Believe it. You’ll automatically make the right risk to save what’s important. With that knowledge, you can go about your day worry-free.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Are you in love with a person or with the story you have created about the person?

Certainly, your projections affect the situation. Love and objectivity don’t mix. The deeper the love the lesser the objectivity.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’re not proud of every single thing you’ve done, but that’s part of being human.

Mistakes can’t be helped. Anyway, doing nothing wrong is a mistake, too -- the mistake

of being boring and scared to grow.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Someone who is truly on your wavelength -- well, it’s a pretty rare find. Don’t let that stop you from reaching out, though.

Finish your thoughts before communicating them. Join the dots. Make it easy for people to understand you.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). It hasn’t been easy to figure out what you really want, because the answer keeps changing. That’s fine. All the more reason not to make a move yet. Wait until you’re more certain.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Thinking energizes you.

It doesn’t have to be your own thinking, either; you’ll be energized by what you read, hear and see, as long as there’s a robust thought process behind it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Not all plans are conscious.

When your subconscious plans come together today, the result will be a mixture of surprise and satisfaction.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’re not going to win alone, and neither will the other person. Join forces in a game that’s big enough for two.

Become partners in seeking a solution with prizes for all.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News While the Newton High Cardinal football team was taking care of business on the field, the Newton High student section was making due with the lack of seating available at Ottumwa’s Schafer Stadium Friday night. The stadium’s home side seating was unavailable because of renovations. Fans filled the smaller visitor side bleachers, sat and stood around the edge of the field.

assisted tackle and a quarterback sack.

Senior linebacker Grant Garvis had five unassisted tackles and Busch had four solos and two assisted tackles before his injury. Junior Austin Romberg recovered the fumble.

“Joe’s tough, but we have a lot of good linebackers,” Rhone said. “When he went down, we all stepped up.

Thomas (Cox) came in and did a good job. We work as a team.”

The Cardinals (1-0) travel to Waterloo East this Friday. Waterloo East broke a 37-game losing skid Friday by beating Newton’s Week 3 opponent Des Moines North, 38-0.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B The Bulldogs decided to go on a fourth-and-16 on the second play of the second quarter. Senior linebacker Blayden Rhone sacked Coram and Newton took possession of the ball at its own 44-yard line.

“Our defense struggled a little bit in the beginning then we started executing as a team,” Blayden said.

Newton’s next offensive possession was thwarted by a holding penalty forcing the Cardinals to punt for the first and only time in the game.

Jayqwon Bridges returned the punt 20 yards setting the Bulldogs up at their own 42.

Combs knocked Yeaway down in the backfield for a five-yard loss on the second play of the series. Coram’s third-down pass was incomplete. Yeaway went back to punt and senior nose guard Landon Hansen broke through to block the kick and Newton recovered the ball at the Ottumwa 29.

On six plays, the Cardinals were knocking on the door again with a third-and-goal at the 1-yard line. An illegal procedure penalty moved the Cardinals back to the 6-yard line. Sturtz connected with Ergenbright out in the flat and Ergenbright made the catch and ran into the corner of the end zone with 4:39 left in the second quarter.

It was 14-0 and that’s where the score stood at the intermission.

Newton had a big loss at the end of the first half. Senior linebacker Joe Busch injured his right knee with 1:05 left to play. He did not return to the game.

“It’s the toughest part of coaching — seeing players who have worked hard and prepared for their senior season go down like that. Joe went over backwards on that

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News With senior Jaron Roush (28) blocking for him, Newton High’s Josh Miravalles (22) gets to the edge on a run against Ottumwa Friday night at Ottumwa. Miravalles rushed for 121 yards and two TDs in a 42-7 win.

play. We’re hoping for the best.

We have to wait on a MRI.” Newton set the tone of the second half with its opening drive for a touchdown.

The defense forced Ottumwa to punt, which went four yards. Three plays later, Sturtz weaved through the Bulldog defenders on a 28-yard TD run.

“Probably the biggest disappointment of the game for me was when we were up 280, got the fumble recovery and didn’t punch it in. We had a chance to put the game away right then and there and didn’t do it,” Ergenbright said.

On the ensuing kickoff, the Bulldogs ended up with the ball at their own 7-yard line.

They fumbled the ball and Newton recovered it with 4:44 left in the third quarter.

Newton had its own fumble, but retained possession at the Bulldog 7-yard line then had a five-yard penalty. Sturtz rushed for three yards on third-and-goal at the 12.

The Cardinals lined up for a 26-yard field goal attempt by

Combs. Combs’ kick bounced off the left upright.

“We’re doing things with our snap count so teams don’t get a running start at us. It caused us to jump on several plays,” Ergenbright said. “We are going through some growing pains. Our last drive of the game, we overcame a big penalty and scored.”

The Cardinals had six penalties for 40 yards. The Bulldogs were penalized eight times for 55 yards.

Newton held the Bulldogs at bay once again and had the ball back at the Ottumwa 37 with 11 seconds remaining in the third quarter. Roush had a 22-yard run to begin the drive then the Cardinals had backto-back penalties.

On the final play of the third quarter, junior running back Josh Miller powered ahead for 10 yards the Bulldog 14-yard line. Miravalles capped the drive with a 2-yard TD run, and with Combs’ extra-point kick, Newton led 35-0.

The Bulldogs averted the

Football Continued from Page 1B Colfax-Mingo (0-2) got on the board on its next possession. The Tigerhawks marched 73 yards in eight plays. Van Dyke connected with senior Alex Lewis for 15 yards on third and nine and then junior Damir Gumerov converted a punt fake with a 7-yard run on fourth and two.

On the next play, Van Dyke hit a wide open Zarek Hill for a 44-yard touchdown to make it 13-7.

Hill suffered a concussion later in the game and did not return. Colfax-Mingo coach Jeff Lietz does not expect his top receiver from 2016 to play this week.

“We were right there. I felt OK at halftime,” Lietz said.

“We just needed to make some adjustments, but we couldn’t get it done.

“I am proud of the way our kids battled. We knew it would be a battle. It’s tough because we had a poor season last year, and now we are 0-2.

It’s tough on the guys mentally, but we are so much ahead of where we were last year.”

Troy Hyde/Daily News Lynnville-Sully senior Brevin Hansen, left, eludes a tackle from Colfax-Mingo’s Nick Barnes during the Hawks’ 49-17 win over the Tigerhawks on Friday night.

Lynnville-Sully answered the Tigerhawk touchdown with a four-play, 45-yard scoring drive. A bulk of those yards came on a Nate Stock 28-yard touchdown run.

The Hawks’ next possession also started in Colfax-Mingo territory.

This time, they strolled 44 yards in four plays and Vander Linden capped the drive with a 17-yard TD run.

“When you have a lot of

hands that want the ball it can be tough, but it’s also a lot of fun as a play caller,” Parkinson said. “We can mix it up, and you can’t key on one guy. We want to get guys their touches. Each guy has their play and what they do, and we know what their strengths are. We feel like we are able to put them in position to be successful.

Colfax-Mingo sophomore Brady Berkey sent the Tiger-

shutout by scoring on its next possession. Coram found Bridges open down the sideline for an 84-yard TD strike.

Juan Carapia kicked the extra point.

Newton used up almost five minutes on an eight-play drive — all running plays by Miller, Miravalles, who had a 51-yard run, junior Logan Cummins and senior Carson Cazett. The Cardinals were at the Ottumwa 4-yard line when they had another penalty.

Sturtz went up the middle for a 9-yard TD run. Sturtz had 93 yards rushing on 11 carries and went 2-for-4 passing, both to Ergenbright.

Coram led the Bulldog running attack with 84 yards on 13 carries. He was 5-of-8 passing for 140 yards. Friday’s loss on the new artificial turf at Schafer Stadium extended the Bulldogs’ losing streak to 11 games.

Leading the Cardinal defense were Combs with five solo tackles, two assisted tackles and three tackles for loss, Rhone with five solos, one hawks into the locker room at halftime down 28-10 after he buried a 37-yard field goal with 5 seconds on the clock.

Vander Leest extended the Hawks’ lead to 36-10 in the third quarter when he fielded a short punt at the Tigerhawk 30-yard line and sprinted to the end zone for the score.

Another short drive allowed the Hawks to push the lead to 43-10. The visitors went 40 yards in six plays and Vander Leest capped the drive with a 1-yard TD run.

“They have a nice scheme.

They run a lot of misdirection. It’s tough to know who has the ball, but you have to read where they are going and make plays,” Lietz said.

The Hawks’ longest possession came on their final scoring drive. Lynnville-Sully marched 68 yards in 10 plays to go up 49-10.

The drive included runs of 17 and 22 yards by Vander Leest, who finished the game at quarterback, and Evan Squires got into the scoring mix with a 2-yard touchdown run.

The Tigerhawks ended the scoring with 54 seconds to play in the game. Van Dyke
