Ground Breaker Homes holds open house for Cardinal Ridge

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A steady stream of people came to the Ground Breaker Homes open house Tuesday to see what will be available at the new Cardinal Ridge development. The City of Newton, along with the Newton Housing Development Corporation, hosted the open house at the DMACC campus to give citizens the opportunity to see house designs and ask questions of the Ground Breaker Homes team.

“We’re excited,” Ground Breaker Homes Director of Sales and Marketing Kalen Ludwig said. “We’re planning on starting three speculative homes with a single family home and townhome. We also already have two customs, another set of townhomes that are pretty much signed up, so we will be starting five doors right away.”

The team brought several homes designs for the available lots ranging from about 1,400 HOMES | 3A

An alleged car burglar has been arrested following a string of vehicle breakins in Ne w t o n that were reported around midnight Monday.

A t least five residents Reeves in the 200 block of South Third Avenue East reported to Newton police their belongings had been stolen from their vehicles.

Around 12:30 a.m., a Newton officer patrolled the area and noticed a car door open at a residence in the 500 block of East Second Street

South. The officer also noticed the home’s garage door was slightly open.

Aaron D. Reeves, 22 of Newton, was found hiding inside the garage, along with several items that had been reported stolen from vehicles in the area. Reeves was arrested and taken to the Jasper County Jail.

Reeves is facing charges of third-degree burglary, a class D felony, five counts of third-degree burglary of unoccupied vehicle, an aggravated misdemeanor, possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The NPD warned residents to lock their vehicles, garages and houses. Residents are also encouraged to hide or remove items of value from vehicles so that they are not visible to prowlers.

As students in the Newton Community School district say goodbye to summer and head back into the classrooms, they’ll see new faces this year. According to district officials, enrollment at Newton schools is continuing a steady rise, which board members say is cause for celebration.

At Newton High School, principal Bill Peters said he’s seen an increase this year to 879 students, after finishing last year with 796. The

2017-2018 class of graduating seniors is significantly larger this year, up 56 students for a total of 202 seniors this year.

Only two schools in the district, Emerson Hough and Woodrow Wilson Elementary did not show an increase from their numbers at this time last year. Travis Padget, president of the Newton School Board said while board members are optimistic about the increase in enrollment in Newton, it was important to wait until the final numbers ENROLLMENT | 3A

Today in History Today is Wednesday, Aug. 30, the 242nd day of 2017. There are 123 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On August 30, 1997, Americans received word of the car crash in Paris that claimed the lives of Princess Diana, her boyfriend, Dodi Fayed, and their driver, Henri Paul.

(Because of the time difference, it was August 31 where the crash occurred.)

On this date: In 1861, Union Gen. John C. Fremont instituted martial law in Missouri and declared slaves there to be free. (However, Fremont’s emancipation order was countermanded by President Abraham Lincoln).

In 1862, Confederate forces won victories against the Union at the Second Battle of Bull Run in Manassas, Virginia, and the Battle of Richmond in Kentucky.

In 1905, Ty Cobb made his major-league debut as a player for the Detroit Tigers, hitting a double in his first at-bat in a game against the New York Highlanders. (The Tigers won, 5-3.)

In 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, which was intended to promote private development of nuclear energy.

In 1963, the “Hot Line” communications link between Washington and Moscow went into operation.

In 1967, the Senate confirmed the appointment of Thurgood Marshall as the first black justice on the U.S. Supreme Court.

In 1983, Guion S. Bluford Jr. became the first black American astronaut to travel in space as he blasted off aboard the Challenger.

In 1984, the space shuttle Discovery was launched on its inaugural flight.

In 1986, Soviet authorities arrested Nicholas Daniloff, a correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, as a spy a week after American officials arrested Gennadiy Zakharov, a Soviet employee of the United Nations, on espionage charges in New York.

(Both men were later released.)

In 1989, a federal jury in New York found “hotel queen” Leona Helmsley guilty of income tax evasion, but acquitted her of extortion. (Helmsley ended up serving 18 months behind bars, a month at a halfway house and two months under house arrest.)

Ten years ago: In a serious breach of nuclear security, a B-52 bomber mistakenly armed with six nuclear-tipped cruise missiles took off from Minot Air Force Base in North Dakota and flew to Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana; the Air Force later punished 70 people. Taliban militants in Afghanistan released the last seven of its South Korean hostages.

Five years ago: Mitt Romney launched his fall campaign for the White House with a rousing, personal speech to the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Florida, proclaiming that America needs “jobs, lots of jobs.” Earlier in the evening, actor-director Clint Eastwood offered an endorsement of Romney that entailed using an empty chair to represent President Barack Obama.

One year ago: Republican U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio and Democratic U.S. Rep. Patrick Murphy each easily won their Florida Senate primaries; Rubio won the election the following November. U.S. Sen. John McCain beat back an Arizona primary challenge from a Republican tea party activist, Kelli Ward, to win the right to seek a sixth Senate term in November (McCain went on to defeat Democrat Ann Kirkpatrick and Green Party candidate Gary Swing).

That’s Odd Officers stop deer on bridge for ‘toll evasion’ OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — California highway officers say they stopped a young deer on a California toll bridge “for toll evasion.” A photo published Tuesday by the California Highway Patrol shows the doe on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge standing in the middle of an on-ramp with a deer-in-the-headlights look.

The officer joked in a Twitter post that the fawn usually pays the toll but “today she was a buck short.” CHP Officer Matthew Hamer says two officers were on patrol on the bridge early Tuesday when the deer came out of the woods on Treasure Island and walked in front of their car.

Can broadcast’s new fall programs really be called ‘new’?

NEW YORK (AP) — Once upon a time, the fall rollout from the Big Three broadcast networks was as eagerly awaited as those shiny new models from the Big Three automakers, unveiled with great fanfare in dealer showrooms.

The TV “season” today is a seamless year-round cycle with dozens of providers adding scads of new prime-time shows to the hundreds already swamping the audience on cable and streaming as well as broadcast.

To acknowledge this vestige of a bygone media age — the fall TV season — is to dwell on fewer than two dozen new series arriving on the five legacy networks.

Some will likely find favor with viewers, and, despite years of doomsday forecasts, the broadcast networks launching them will continue to hang tough. (In part, that’s because they are expanding their reach beyond their age-old linear presence — in NBC’s case, 14 platforms now distribute its content).

But however warmly these rookie shows are received, this freshman slate Audiologist Since 1979

original cast, is likely to be funny. But thanks to social enlightenment it helped promote way back then, it will now feel comfortable, not outrageous, as before.

Meanwhile, the CW is updating the 1980s soap “Dynasty.” CBS’ sitcom “Kevin Can Wait” is reuniting star Kevin James with Leah Remini, his leading lady years ago on “King of Queens,” for a retooled second season of what seems to be morphing into “King of Long AP Photo Island.”

During the first few weeks of school administrators work to “clean up” the enrollment numbers and verify students on their rolls are actually attending Newton, and haven’t transferred to another school.

“We’re up kids, but I want to see exactly where we’re sitting come October,” Peters said.

The numbers released by the school district represent preliminary numbers, an official count won’t be made until Oct. 2 of this year.

The numbers obtained on Oct. 2 will be used

by the state of Iowa to determine the amount of funding each school receives for the 20182019 school year. For the 2017-2018 school year the district received $6,664 for each student. Padget said he welcomes the increased enrollment, and he’s hopeful the growth will continue.

“When you have more students you have more funding, and you can ease the burden on those purse strings and spread expenditures across more students,” Padget said. “With the budget being so tight every dollar counts.”

As enrollment numbers continue to increase at the high school, Peters said high school staff will look to add new teachers to

“We’re not in dire straits by any means, but if we continue to see this kind of growth we’ll certainly add staff in core areas,” Peters said.

The growth is something staff at the high school has been expecting, Peters said, as they’ve watched enrollment numbers rise in the middle school.

“We hope that a district nomination brings increased notoriety to the area and opportunities for reinvestment to the properties. It brings possible economic development opportunities and over the long haul can help promote preservation in those areas.”

Cantu and Oldsen have been meeting with district staff to show teachers what they have to offer for the upcoming school year.

“This year we’re really promoting the conservation of pollinating insects,” Cantu said. “With the decline in honeybees and butterflies, we wanted to create some projects for students to help them out.”

Board member Robyn Friedman asked how often teachers in the district take advantage of the program.

“It is utilized by everyone, or is it underutilized?”

Friedman asked.

Only sixth-grade students in Newton didn’t have a chance to take advantage of the program last year Cantu said, which she’s hoping to rectify this year.

Cantu cited a move to a new building, and changes in curriculum, but said she’s already been meeting with staff at Berg to make sure students have a chance to participate this year.

“We’re working to come up with something that better fits what they’re doing,” Cantu said.

Teaching students more about the outdoors, and hopefully fostering a lifelong love of being outside is what the program is about, and Cantu said when she sees it click during the field trips or class programs, she knows she’s meeting her goal of engaging with students. Whether it’s learning to fish, gaining a better understanding of conservation, or just getting outside, Cantu said that she hopes students will get interested and become frequent visitors at county parks.

“We’re excited when they get excited,” Cantu said.

“Nothing is better than seeing a child learn something for the first time.”

Superintendent Bob Callaghan said he was glad to see the program continue, and remarked that he’s received plenty of positive feedback in the past.

“Principals see a lot of benefit, they have exceptional programs and opportunities for our kids,” Callaghan said.

The lightness of letting go A

So It Goes David Dolmage

confession; I am a terrible lingerer. I’m awful at goodbyes, and I’m almost always the last one to leave, which is probably why I’m holding on to so much stuff.

When I moved into my grandmother’s house, I inherited her depression era mentality along with most of her furniture. Grandma kept everything. When we cleaned out her closet, there were boxes full of old cards, neatly organized by sender. Basement shelves were lined with empty margarine tubs, neatly washed, sorted and stacked.

The house’s history appealed to me, but it also overwhelmed me. The layers of stuff in the house were almost geological, a cross section of sentimental sediment.

It wasn’t long before I started adding my own layers as well. With a house of my own my parents were ea-

ger to unload the mountains of “dead media” I’d been collecting. Working like a covert espionage team, my parents would drop off boxes of stuff while I was gone, filling up the garage with Rubbermaid totes, overflowing with books, records and CDs. After years of living here and there, I wanted everything under one roof.

In my mind, my new home would be my own personal Batcave, a personal museum.

This was a great plan, and I set to work enthusiastically on it, building a new set of bookshelves in my office that were full almost before the last coat of lacquer had dried. It didn’t take long before I started to run out of room.

Friends started to use the word “hoarder” in casual conversation with me, and I’d argue vehemently with them.

“Look at those people on TV, that isn’t me!”

Except “those people” on TV probably weren’t either at some point. Stuff creeps up on you, like dandelions in a yard. Everything’s fine until one day you look out the window and your backyard looks like a low budget nature preserve.

I had to do something before I was crawling out of a window because all of the other exits were all blocked by stacks of old newspapers.

Learning to let go is hard, because for most of us there’s an ingrained thriftiness that’s hard to suppress. After all, I bought all of the stuff, and it’s got value, so even if I don’t have a use for it right now, why shouldn’t I keep it? In reality, you need it, so why on earth should you hold onto it, just in case. I’d become a haphazard disaster prepper, ready for any emergency that might require a pair of pants that don’t fit me and an empty margarine tub.

So I started to let go.

It wasn’t easy, but I had help. My friend Heather came over and cleaned out my closet, filling four bags full of clothing, some of it stuff I hadn’t worn since high school. For the first time in years, I didn’t need to ask the salesman if I could keep the hanger when I bought a new pair of

pants.

The wonderful thing about letting go is that it feels just like losing weight.

Which is funny, because that’s exactly what it is. Your waistline might not be shrinking, but the burdens you’re carrying are getting smaller. The less you have, the less you have to worry about. It took me a month to take everything Heather tossed out of my closet to Goodwill, but there wasn’t a single day where I walked past the pile of garbage bags lined up on the bedroom wall and wanted to put it all back.

I thought I’d miss the clothes, but I didn’t. I was glad to have the space, and I didn’t have to feel guilty when I bought a new pair of pants, knowing that 15 other pairs were already hanging in the closet.

I’d been saving all this stuff, but it wasn’t saving me, it was just holding onto me, prolonging that goodbye. It was lingering.

It was just one more thing I was carrying around, and letting go of it means I’m moving into the future that much faster.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

What Hurricane Harvey teaches us about humanity The pictures, videos and social media posts coming out of Houston, Texas, thanks to Hurricane Harvey are horrifying: children camped out on kitchen counters in order to avoid flooding; elderly women stuck in rest homes and up to their waist in water; tweets from local police departments reminding residents to bring axes into their attic in case they have to cut their way through their roof to escape rising waters. But just as many pictures and videos are inspirational: local men and women hopping into their boats and looking for victims to rescue; police carrying children out of flooded houses; Americans helping one another.

Whenever disaster strikes, we’re always inspired by images of human beings helping one another. Disaster often brings out the best in us: our capacity for care, our bravery in risking our lives to help others.

Then we’re inevitably disappointed in our unending ability to leave those qualities behind the moment disaster ends. We’ll rush into burning buildings to save each other, but we’ll club each other on the head at political rallies.

Why? Because there are certain enemies we hold in common. We hold death in common; we’ll help all but our worst enemies escape the grave. We hold natural disasters in common as an enemy; we’ll react to them by helping out our neighbors. And we hold civilizational threats in common; we’ll fight together against the Nazi scourge or the Soviet threat.

But what about when there is no civilizational threat? What about when we’re so powerful that serious threats seem unserious? Former President Obama informed us routinely that radical Islamic terrorism didn’t threaten our civilization. It’s no wonder, then, that so few Americans see radical Islam as a threat worth unifying against. President Trump tells us that Russia isn’t a civilizational threat, and neither is global warming. Without a credible existential threat, Americans don’t unify.

But there is a credible existential threat to Americans. The problem is that it’s internal.

America was built on the foundation of free speech, liberty in personal action, and freedom from violence and governmental tyranny. Those principles are now under attack by groups like antifa, far-left-leaning militants, which maintains that there is an existential threat that justifies wartime measures: the presence of the American system itself. Antifa members believe America is steeped in racism, bigotry, economic injustice and police barbarity. And they believe that this gives them the right to carve away at the foundations that hold us together.

This makes them an existential threat, a cancer gnawing at the vitals of the nation. They aren’t the only ones, of course: Some violent members of the “alt-right,” for example, believe that non-white Americans are the existential threat and use the same logic as antifa. But the true threat to America comes not from outside but from within. It’s far harder to unify against that threat if we’re unwilling to identify it.

But we should be willing to unify. We should all be willing to defend our neighbors in the peaceful expression of their rights — we should stand with them against violence. We should commit acts of kindness and heroism to help them. There is a storm coming. We must fight it together, or it will overwhelm us while we close our eyes to its danger.

AMENDMENT

YOUR VIEW

Pugel instrumental to DMACC’s success I am writing to support the re-election of Joe Pugel to the DMACC Board of Directors.

I am the President of Keystone Electrical Manufacturing Company, and a member and past Chair of the Iowa Association of Business and Industry. In those roles, I have hired DMACC graduates and benefited from other services offered to businesses. I have also seen the value DMACC brings to the business community through the experiences of other business leaders. Additionally, I am a current member of the DMACC Board and have worked with Joe Pugel

COLAs provide protection As a federal worker who has served our country for more than 30 years, I am deeply concerned with a provision in the president’s budget which would eliminate cost-of-living adjustments (COLAs) for current and future federal retirees. I ask that Rep. Young, and Sens. Grassley

and experienced his leadership and commitment to the success of the college and its continued involvement with industry.

Joe has chaired the DMACC Board since 2003 and has overseen and led the board during a period of significant growth and expansion of its service to Central Iowa. Since 2003, DMACC has: grown enrollment 62 percent to 35,488 students; attained the highest bond rating and lowest property tax assessment of any Iowa Community College; maintained the lowest tuition and fees of any college and university in the State; created Career Academies with area high schools around the district, including Newton and Pella; improved articulation with Iowa State, the University of Iowa,

UNI, Grinnell, Central College and all others; helped negotiate the gift of buildings when Maytag left and recently a gift of all the Maytag corporate offices in conjunction with the City of Newton; expanded programs in Newton in Court Reporting and Culinary; created scholarship programs for FFA students and Honors students; saw DMACC being ranked by Value College as 10th of the 1,717 two-year programs in the entire United States on “value” and much more.

I do not believe any Iowa Community College has experienced more success. Joe has been an instrumental part of that success. I am asking you to vote for Joe Pugel on Sept.12.

and Ernst oppose any proposals that would reduce COLAs for federal retirees.

The annual COLA provides protections against inflation, but even the current calculation is inadequate because it understates the impact of health care spending, yielding lower annual COLAs. Reducing or eliminating the COLA further threatens our health and financial security.

This proposal would dimin-

ish the value of a hard-earned annuity, by allowing inflation to erode the benefit over the course of retirement. If this proposal were to become law, I would have to continue to work another 10 years or more, instead of enjoying that retirement fully, as promised. With the cost of goods and medical care on the rise, I will not sit back and allow this attack to gain a foothold.

Son braces for reaction to transgender fiancee

DEAR ABBY: I moved to the Philippines five years ago. While I was there I met “Emma.” After a few months, I realized I was in love with her, and last year we became engaged. I took her to meet my family. They loved her and supported our engagement.

I’m now living in the States and she’s still in the Philippines waiting for her visa. Emma is transgender and I don’t know how to tell my family. I love her and know I want to spend the rest of my life with her, but my dad is homophobic, and I know he won’t support my decision to marry a transgender woman. My mother will also be disappointed because we won’t be able to have children together. I need your advice. What should I do? — FORBIDDEN LOVE IN MINNESOTA DEAR FORBIDDEN LOVE: You say that when you introduced Emma to your family they liked and accepted her. Because you did not tell them then that your fiancee was transgender, expect them to be surprised.

That news will bring your father face to face with his homophobia. As to your mother, even if Emma were not transgender, there’s no guarantee that Emma would be able to bear children.

In cases of infertility, couples sometimes decide to adopt or employ the help of a surrogate and an egg donor.

As a mature adult, the decision about whom you marry should be yours. Your parents’ disapproval should have nothing to do with it. If and when you do give them the news, be prepared for a negative reaction. However, I see no reason why you feel you must tell them since they didn’t question her gender before.

DEAR ABBY: A longtime friend of mine, “Mia,” married a little over a year ago and moved a few hours away.

They have been having trouble in their marriage, but have been trying hard to make it work. Mia is now pregnant, and her baby is due next month.

Over the past few months her husband has been messaging me on Face-

book. He hasn’t said anything overtly sexual, but it is clearly flirtatious. I don’t know him well, so I either don’t respond or give one-word answers.

I feel what he’s doing is inappropriate, but I’m unsure how to proceed.

He’s extremely sensitive and reactive to rejection. I’m afraid if I confront him, I will no longer be welcome in their home. I’m also worried that if I tell Mia, she’ll be devastated and our friendship will be ruined. Any advice would be appreciated. — ANONYMOUS READER DEAR ANONYMOUS: If you deal with this directly, your friend’s husband will likely deny it and become defensive and punitive. Unless his flirtation becomes overtly sexual, continue to ignore it. Do not respond immediately to his messages. If he asks you why, say you are busy. If you feel you must comment, keep it casual, remote and brief. And always ask him to relay regards to his wife. It may remind him that he’s married.

DEAR ABBY: Under what circumstances do you ask your adult offspring (still living at home, working, doing their own laundry, somewhat feeding themselves) to contribute money toward household expenses? — JUST WONDERING IN PENNSYLVANIA DEAR JUST WONDERING: At what point? I recommend you do it tonight!

Woman gets 25 years for stealing from drug program

in shoplifting case

MARSHALLTOWN — The former finance director of a drug treatment agency has been given 25 years in prison for stealing from the agency. Amy Howell, 37, was sentenced Monday in Marshall County District Court. She’d pleaded guilty to felony ongoing criminal conduct and to misdemeanor unauthorized use of a credit card. Prosecutors dropped forgery and theft charges in return for Howell’s pleas. Prosecutors say Howell stole more than $82,000 from the Substance Abuse Treatment Unit of Central Iowa.

JOHNSTON — Authorities say a 13-year-old boy has died after being struck by a pickup truck while riding his bicycle in the Des Moines suburb of Johnston. The accident happened a little before 6 p.m. Tuesday while Ali Hashim was riding with two other children. Police say the boy died after being taken to Blank Children’s Hospital in Des Moines.

The accident is being investigated. Police identified the pickup driver as 36-year-old Matthew Nielsen, of Granger.

DAVENPORT — A woman has been sentenced to seven years in a federal prison for robbing a bank in Davenport.

Tosha Aurthur, 39, also was sentenced Tuesday to three years of supervised release after she leaves prison and must pay $373 in restitution. Aurthur had pleaded guilty.

Police say she robbed Northwest Bank & Trust in Davenport on Aug. 1 last year.

Decision on special session will come in September

AP Photo Taboo, center, and Native American musicians raise their fists in protest of the Dakota Access Pipeline as they arrive at the MTV Video Music Awards at The Forum on Sunday in Inglewood, Calif.

Tribes: Dakota Access pipeline overstates shutdown impact BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — American Indian tribes hoping to persuade a federal judge to turn off the Dakota Access oil pipeline maintain in last-minute court filings that the project’s developer has overstated the potential impacts of a shutdown.

Standing Rock Sioux attorney Jan Hasselman and Cheyenne River Sioux attorney Nicole Ducheneaux also argue that Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners brought potential problems on itself by forging ahead with construction despite the uncertainty of final federal approval.

ETP “made reckless choices, and it must accept the consequences,” the attorneys wrote in documents filed Monday, the deadline for arguments imposed

by U.S. District Judge James Boasberg in Washington, D.C. The $3.8 billion pipeline began moving North Dakota oil through South Dakota and Iowa to Illinois on June 1, after President Donald

Trump pushed for its completion.

The Army Corps of Engineers, which permitted the project, had decided to do more environmental study but dropped that plan after Trump took office.

The judge ruled in June that the Corps didn’t adequately consider how an oil spill under Lake Oahe in the Dakotas might affect the Standing Rock Sioux, one of four tribes that have challenged the pipeline in court. He ordered the Corps to reconsider certain areas of its environmental analysis, and could decide to shut down the 1,200-mile pipeline while this work is done over the next several months.

ETP has maintained in court documents that a shutdown would cost it $90 million monthly, and significantly disrupt the broader energy industry as well as state and local government tax revenue.

“There is no legitimate basis for arguing that suspending DAPL will cause havoc,” Hasselman and

Ducheneaux wrote. “Suspension of DAPL undoubtedly will have some impacts, but they will be more modest and manageable than DAPL contends.”

Company spokeswoman Vicki Granado on Monday declined comment, citing the ongoing litigation.

Some energy trade groups including The American Petroleum Institute, which the judge on Monday granted a say in the dispute, said a shutdown “would result in substantial financial loss and uncertainty for upstream producers, shippers, downstream refiners, manufacturers, retailers and consumers.”

The amount of oil being shipped through the pipeline each day is worth more than $20 million, and “if DAPL were to be taken out of service for even six months, the direct financial impact of the stalled crude deliveries would be staggering,” attorney David Coburn wrote.

DES MOINES — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds says she will announce in September whether she’ll need to call a special legislative session to address a budget shortfall.

The Republican governor told reporters Tuesday she is still reviewing financial information for the budget year that ended in June.

The books on that budget year won’t officially close until next month.

The nonpartisan Legislative Services Agency said this summer that Iowa’s roughly $7.2 billion budReynolds get, which lawmakers already cut last session, was facing a revenue shortfall of about $100 million. The agency warned the figure could fluctuate.

Reynolds has authority to transfer up to $50 million from an emergency fund. A larger shortfall would require lawmakers to return to Des Moines to approve either a higher transfer or cuts.

Office will review money for nursing home visits DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds says the state agency that advocates for the elderly and disabled will review its budget in an effort to avoid some cuts to staff visits at facilities like nursing homes, but she didn’t offer specifics.

The Republican governor told reporters Tuesday her office is communicating with the office of the Iowa Long-Term Care Ombudsman to review options.

The ombudsman’s office announced recently that reductions to its state-appropriated budget, which is just above $1 million, would limit staff travel to facilities like nursing homes. The travel is aimed at monitoring conditions.

Reynolds says a large portion of the office’s budget is salaries and administrative costs, so officials may try to use resources differently. She declined to clarify if that could lead to layoffs at the ombudsman’s office.

Newton Wellness Talks: Iowa, eat your fruits and veggies

By John Krzton-Presson Jasper County Extension Office Despite being one of the most productive agricultural regions in the world, Iowa continues to rank among the lowest in the nation for fruit and vegetable consumption. In fact, according to a 2013 report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Iowans, on average, consume vegetables less than twice per day. Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and Nebraska all ranked higher than Iowa for 2013 vegetable consumption.

Of course, there is more to a healthy lifestyle than adequate fruit and vegetable consumption, but having plenty of produce in your diet plays a very important role. Whole, unprocessed fruits and vegetables are often lower in calories, salt, and fat than meat, dairy, and grains. Fruits and vegetables are nutrient-dense and contain high levels of healthful antioxidants. Increased consumption

of fruits and vegetables has been shown to reduce the risk of hypertension, stroke, coronary heart disease, obesity, cancer and other health problems.

It is recommended that half of your plate should contain fruits and vegetables, but for some this is easier said than done. Here are a few practical tips for increasing your fruit and vegetable consumption: • Choose vegetables rich in color like acorn squash, cherry tomatoes, spinach or sweet potatoes. A diversity of colors on your plate means a diversity of nutrients in your diet.

Cut up a batch of bell peppers, broccoli, carrots or cauliflower to keep in the refrigerator. Use them later, either for a healthful snack in between meals, or to add a flavorful and nutritious boost to your dinner casserole.

• Start your own vegetable garden; gardening is a great way to get active while saving money on fresh produce. For information on home gardening visit hortnews.ex-

tension.iastate.edu/ or contact the Jasper County Extension Office 641-792-6433.

• Shop for produce at your local Farmers Markets. Newton Farmers’ Market is 4 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesdays on the Courthouse Square.

The Prairie City Farmers Market is 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. Thursdays on the Garden Square.

• Stock up on canned and frozen fruits and vegetables, which store well and are simple to prepare.

Check out the “Spend Smart Eat Smart” tool from Iowa State University Extension and Outreach.

This resource can help you plan a healthful diet, while still staying on budget. There is even a smartphone app to help you out on the go — spendsmart.extension.iastate.edu/ Making changes to your diet can be a challenge. But those that commit to adding more fruits and vegetables to their diet discover a greater diversity of flavors and are rewarded with a greater sense of well-being.

Cardinals lose to 5A No. 12 Indians

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

INDIANOLA — Serving the volleyball was on point for Newton High’s Cardinals in Tuesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference opener. The Cardinals were successful at the service line, but didn’t score enough off serves.

Newton found it tough going against Class 5A 12th-ranked Indianola on the Indians’ home court Tuesday. The Indians posted a 25-7, 25-14, 25-11 win over the Cardinals.

The Cardinals were led by senior outside hitter Audrey Lucas with four kills. Lucas also went 7-for-7 at the service line with the team’s only ace serve. Lucas had four digs.

Seniors Lucy Lilienthal and Alexis Hoffman each had three kills at the net. Lilienthal made four assisted blocks and Hoffman had one assisted block. Senior Rachel Berkland had two kills.

Freshman setter Kate Callaghan was credit with 11 set assists and Berkland had one assist. Callaghan and senior Madison Bleeker each had one kill and one assisted block. Harlie Durr, a senior, had one kill.

Senior libero Carter Lee racked up nine digs and Durr had three digs.

In freshman play, Indianola won 2515, 25-12 as the Cardinals went 21-of24 serving with one ace and had nine kills. There was a freshman B-team match which went to Indianola 25-12, 25-17 and Newton was 19-of-28 serving with three aces and two kills.

Newton’s varsity is 2-2 overall and 0-1 in LHC play while Indianola improved to 9-1 and 1-0.

Newton plays at Dallas Center-Grimes Tuesday in Little Hawkeye Conference action. The varsity match is slated for 7:15 p.m. with the junior varsity and freshman matches starting at 5 p.m. in Grimes.

Resilient Hawks hold off Baxter rally, beat Bolts in five-set thriller

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News SULLY — Lynnville-Sully’s Mallory Loftus did not see varsity action on the volleyball court as a freshman in 2016.

One year later, Loftus is a year older and looks primed to have a breakout season for the Hawks.

Loftus had a career-high 17 kills and five blocks to headline Lynnville-Sully’s five-set win over Baxter on Tuesday night.

The Hawks fell behind in all five sets but were resilient enough to rally each time during a 2521, 25-20, 19-25, 20-25, 15-13 home victory.

“When she came in the gym, we noticed that she had not only gotten better athletically but she had grown several inches, too,” Lynnville-Sully coach Jayme Deal said. “She’s a smart athlete. She was just young last year, but she took a big jump this offseason.”

Loftus came up large for the Hawks (2-4) when her team needed her most. Baxter led 8-2 in the opener and 7-1 in set two, but Lynnville-Sully rallied both times to go up 2-0 in the match.

The Hawks took advantage when the Bolts’ top two hitters were not in the front row. They also got a little more production from their role players.

“Give some credit to Lynnville-Sully. They were very scrappy,” Baxter coach Scott Ranck said. “They kept a lot of balls alive that I thought were dead. They came to play and made some plays against.

“We just stopped doing what we do best. Instead of being solid and scoring another point to keep the momentum, we tried

too often to be a hero. Every time that happened tonight, it backfired on us.”

Sophomore Amber Weltha got off to a fast start for the Bolts (0-1) in the opening set.

She had two kills and a pair of blocks to give the visitors an early 8-2 lead.

Hitting errors by Baxter allowed the Hawks to rally. Lyn-

nville-Sully pulled even at 8-all before the Bolts went on a few mini runs to stay in front. Once the Hawks took the lead though, they didn’t give it up.

Junior Shiloh Cunningham, who had eight kills in the win, collected a pair of kills to put L-S up 15-13. The Hawks went VOLLEYBALL | 6B

Federer, Nadal are through to US Open second round NEW YORK (AP) — The question was rather simple after Angelique Kerber became only the second defending U.S. Open champion in the prof e s s i on a l era to lose in the first round.

T h e surprisKerber ingly lopsided 6-3, 6-1 loss to 45th-ranked Naomi Osaka of Japan under the closed roof in Arthur Ashe Stadium at a rainy Flushing Meadows on Tuesday was former No. 1 Kerber’s latest in a long list of disappointing performances in 2017, so she was asked what she thinks went wrong this season.

She sighed, shrugged her shoulders and began to answer: “I don’t know.”

Moments later, her eyes darting around the room, she added, “This year is a completely different year.”

Talk about an understatement. In 2016, Kerber broke through to the top of tennis in a spectacular way. A player with only one previous Grand Slam semifinal appearance reached the first three major title matches of her career, winning two of them: She stunned Serena Williams in the Australian Open final, lost to Williams in the Wimbledon final, and then beat

Karolina Pliskova in the U.S. Open final to rise to the top of the WTA rankings for the first time.

Her follow-up has been quite a flop. Kerber, a 29-year-old German, hasn’t won any title of any sort this season. She is only 25-18 overall, 0-9 against opponents ranked in the top 20, and Tuesday’s loss assured her of falling out of the top 10 for the first time since October 2015. At Grand Slam tournaments she is 6-4, including another first-round loss in May at the French Open, where she became that tournament’s first No. 1 seed to lose so early.

“I know that I’m strong and I know that I will come back stronger, for sure. I know that I will not (be) giving up,” said Kerber, the first defending champion to lose in the U.S. Open’s first round since Svetlana Kuznetsova in 2005.

Showers showed up before noon Tuesday and led to the postponements of dozens of matches. The only court used in the afternoon and evening was Ashe, thanks to the retractable cover constructed ahead of last year’s tournament.

The only men’s matches completed were there, and Roger Federer overcame a slow start and then a late lapse to edge 19-year-old American US OPEN | 2B

US Open Continued from Page 1B Frances Tiafoe 4-6, 6-2, 6-1, 1-6, 6-4 in a compelling first-rounder at night.

Federer’s footwork and strokes were off in the first set, and he repeatedly gave Tiafoe points via miscues. Federer then appeared to take control by grabbing eight of nine games en route to taking a 2-1 lead in sets. But Tiafoe rediscovered his own powerful shots to force a fifth set. Federer went up 3-1, then got broken while serving for the match at 5-3. But he broke right back, finally converting his third match point.

Federer earned his 79th career victory at the U.S. Open, equaling Andre Agassi for second-most behind Jimmy Connors’ 98.

Federer’s possible semifinal foe and chief rival for the title, No. 1 Rafael Nadal, overcame a first-set hiccup of his own before overpowering Dusan Lajovic of Serbia 7-6 (6), 6-2, 6-2.

The women’s No. 1 seed, Pliskova, easily advanced by beating Magda Linette 6-2, 6-1, French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko got past Lara Arruabarrena 6-2, 1-6, 6-1 in a match that started on Court 17 then was moved indoors at Ashe, and No. 23 Barbora Strycova defeated Misaki Doi 6-1, 6-3. Yet another seeded woman was eliminated when No. 28 Lesia Tsurenko lost to Yanina Wickmayer 6-3, 6-1.

At night in Ashe, No. 15 Madison Keys of the U.S. compiled a 32-9 edge in winners and moved into the second round by beating Elise Mertens of Belgium 6-3, 7-6 (6). Keys got broken while serving for the match at 6-5, and then faced a set point at 6-5 in the tiebreaker. But Keys delivered a big forehand to force a backhand error

by Mertens, starting a three-point run for the American to close out the victory.

“I would say I was probably one of the luckier people all day,” Keys said, “to just kind of know I was going to get a match in today.”

Hawk harriers opens season at Williamsburg

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News WILLIAMSBURG — Running for Lynnville-Sully for the first time, senior Mary Kate Shaver paced the Hawk girls in their 2107 season opening cross country meet Tuesday.

The Hawk girls finished seventh out of nine teams at the Williamsburg Invitational.

Shaver finished 12th, running the 5K course in 22 minutes, 19 seconds.

Springville-Central City’s Emily Staal won the girls’ race in 19:44.

Williamsburg won the girls’ team championship with 57 points. Lynnville-Sully scored 145 points. The Lynnville-Sully boys did not have a complete team to run in their division, which was won by Oskaloosa with 55 points.

“Excitement and anticipation of the first meet had built up over the last three weeks of practice. All of us were anxious to see how the work during the summer and start of the season prepared us for this first competition,” Lynnville-Sully

Shaver

Dunsbergen

coach Darin Arkema said. “We knew this course is flat, but we also knew we’d be up against mostly 2A and 3A schools.”

Arkema said Lynnville-Sully’s girls finished in front of fellow South Iowa Cedar League conference schools Belle Plaine and BGM. He said it was a positive sign, especially since Belle Plaine was the the 2016 SICL champion.

Sophomore Abby Gruver and freshman Megan Van Zante ran close together for Lynnville-Sully. Gruver finished 26th in 24:07 and Van Zante crossed the finish line in 24:22 for 28th. Senior Christine Nikkell placed 35th in 25:08 and junior Emily Van

Gorp took 44th in 27:01.

Non-team scoring varsity runners for the Hawk girls were seniors Haley Breeden and Hailey Scandridge.

Breeden was 48th in 27:36 and Scandridge ran 51st in 28:49.

“Mary Kate had a strong Lynnville-Sully debut, and really looks poised to have a strong season. Abby was 15 seconds faster tonight than last season on this course. Megan ran a lot during the summer to get ready for her freshman season, and it showed tonight and will pay off all season for her,” Arkema said.

The Lynnville-Sully boys’ team numbered three. Senior Josh Dunsbergen was the Hawks’ top runner, placing 32nd in 19:43. Junior Joseph Anderson placed 42nd in 21:21 and freshman Mason Jansen was 47th in 22:00.

“The guys unfortunately don’t have the benefit of a full squad right, but that hasn’t kept them from working hard to push each other and better themselves,” Arkema said.

“Josh started his season with an 18 second improvement

over his performance from last season. I believe that all his experience last season and spring track have made him a more disciplined runner, and I’m excited to see what he can do this year.”

Arkema said a year ago Anderson wasn’t ready to race at the Williamsburg meet but on Tuesday he ran a solid first time of the season. Jansen looked strong in his first cross country race, Arkema said, and Jansen will improve as he gets stronger and learns more.

In the junior varisty girls’ race, sophomore Ashton Thompson posted a 10th-place finish in 26:08. Freshman Hadley Tice crossed the line in 27:51 for 19th followed by sophomore Brittney Hansen in 20th in 28:16.

Lynnville-Sully’s athletes compete in Saturday’s meet hosted by Pella at Central College in Pella. The boys’ race is at 9:30 a.m. and the girls run at 10:15 a.m.

Royals end scoreless drought at 45 innings, beat Rays 6-2 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Whit Merrifield, Jorge Bonifacio and Eric Hosmer homered as the Kansas City Royals snapped a 45-inning scoreless streak on their way to a 6-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night.

Merrifield’s 16th home run with two outs in the third ended the Royals’ drought, three innings shy of the major league record. The 1906 Philadelphia Athletics and 1968 Chicago Cubs share the mark with 48 scoreless innings in a row.

Royals rookie Jake Junis (6-2) did not allow a hit until a one-out single in the fifth. He struck out a career-high eight and walked none over 5 2/3 innings. Junis is 4-0 in his last six appearances.

Hosmer’s three-run homer, his 22nd, in the seventh off left-hander Dan Jennings gave the Royals a cushion. Bonifacio connected with two outs in the sixth off Alex Cobb (9-9).

Cobb gave up a run on three singles and three wild pitches in the fourth. Hosmer scored on Mike Moustakas’ single, but the Royals stranded runners at second and third.

Shaw Media File Photo Kansas City Royals pitcher Jake Junis throws against the Tampa Bay Rays Tuesday at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.

Junis was removed after giving up Evan Longoria’s single. Scott Alexander yielded a run-scoring single to Logan Morrison and walked Steven Souza Jr. to load the bases.

Corey Dickerson’s groundout ended the inning.

Brad Miller homered off Brandon Maurer in the seventh, cutting Kansas City’s lead to 3-2.

Challenge Kings

The Royals won three replay challenges in the first six innings. The first two reversals in the first and fifth gave Lorenzo Cain infield singles after he had initially been called out.

In the sixth, Lucas Duda struck out swinging on a pitch that hit him. Kevin Kiermaier stole second on the play, but after a review was sent back to first because the ball was ruled dead after hitting Duda in the foot.

Kuntz in Dugout Royals first base coach Rusty Kuntz is having vision problems after eye surgery and will be in the dugout the rest of the season setting outfield alignments. Kansas City manager Ned Yost said Kuntz never saw three balls hit toward right field Monday, including one that missed him by about 5 feet.

“It’s just getting to a point now where it’s just dangerous for him to be out there,” Yost said.

“We don’t want to take a chance of having anything serious happening.” Catching coach Pedro Grifol replaced Kuntz in the coach’s box at first.

Trainer’s Room Royals LHP Brian Flynn was placed on the disabled list after one outing. He strained his left groin Monday. LHP Eric Skoglund was recalled from Triple-A Omaha.

Up Next Rays: RHP Jake Odorizzi, who starts the series finale, has failed to get out of the fourth inning in his previous two starts.

Royals: All-Star LHP Jason Vargas is 2-5 with a 6.69 ERA in his past eight starts.

Former Michigan State coach Jud Heathcote dies

By Larry Lage The Associated Press

Jud Heathcote, who led Michigan State and Magic Johnson to the 1979 NCAA championship, has died. He was 90.

The school announced Heathcote died Monday in Spokane, Washington.

Spartans coach Tom Izzo was hired by Heathcote as a part-time assistant in 1983.

With Heathcote’s support, Izzo was promoted to replace him when he retired in 1995.

“The basketball world is a sadder place today with the passing of Jud Heathcote,” Izzo said. “No one cared more about the welfare of the game than Jud. He was a coach’s coach and a mentor to many.

“Our hearts are filled with sadness and deepest sympathy for his wife Beverly and the Heathcote family. Michigan State has lost one of its icons today. And yet, nothing can erase his impact on the program, the players he coached and the coaches he mentored. Spartan basketball is what it is today because of Jud Heathcote.”

Heathcote won 340 games, three Big Ten titles and ap-

peared in nine NCAA tournaments during his 19-year career at Michigan State.

He was inducted into the National Collegiate Basketball Heathcote Hall of Fame in 2009 along with Johnson and Larry Bird, whose Indiana State team lost to the Heathcote-led Spartans in the 1979 final.

The National Association of Basketball Coaches gave Heathcote the Golden Anniversary Award for 50 years of service in 2001, when he was also inducted into the Michigan State Athletics Hall of Fame.

Heathcote got his start in 1971 as a head coach in college at Montana, where he had an 80-53 record and won two Big Sky titles.

Izzo, a Basketball Hall of Famer, helped the Spartans win their second NCAA men’s basketball title in 2000. He often leaned on Heathcote for advice, counsel and humor .

“Without a doubt, he was one of the most influential people in my life, giving me a chance when no one else

would,” Izzo said. “Any coaching success I’ve ever had is because of him. Long after he left Michigan State, he was still one of the first people I would call when I had a tough decision in coaching or life.”

Izzo wasn’t alone.

Michigan State athletic director Mark Hollis, who was a student manager for Heathcote, said he was one of his best teachers.

“Reflecting on my career and life, Jud was among the most influential people in regards to my preparation for both,” Hollis said. “He will be missed, yet his memory will be seen through the many different people he impacted.”

One of those people is South Florida coach Brian Gregory, who started his career as a graduate assistant for Heathcote and was promoted within the program before moving on to lead Dayton and Georgia Tech.

“For the first time since I was 25, I won’t get a birthday card from him and won’t get a call from him after a game and that really bums me out,” the 50-year-old Gregory said in a telephone interview Monday night.

“I’ll miss a lot of things, including his humor. It was

almost a badge of honor if he ripped you because he was testing you. He was old school and that’s how he showed he cared, ripping you in some way that he thought could drive home a point to make you look at some part of your life.”

Heathcote had legendary gatherings with coaches on Friday afternoon — and sometimes evening — during Final Four weekend, for two-plus decades before health problems prevented him from traveling.

“It was known as ‘Jud’s party,’ and it became Final Four folklore,” Gregory said. “He’d get up in front of everyone and tell a bunch of jokes, holding court for high school, junior college and big-time coaches.

They all came to see him. The younger coaches would just be in awe of how he could command a room with that many coaches in it.”

During Heathcote’s farewell tour during the 1994-95 season, many schools gave him a retirement gift. At Minnesota, he was presented with a stool such as the one coaches sat on the raised court at Williams Arena.

“I was pleasantly surprised to see that it had three legs,” Heathcote joked.

The Leo sun has passed, but Venus and Mars remain in the sign of entertainment to remind us of the value of a good story.

You’re never too old for one.

Just because you’ve become disillusioned doesn’t mean you have to stop believing. To know something is false and still hold it sacred is to live in the complexity of the human mind.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 30). Once upon a time you gazed longingly into the wide and distant possibilities. This solar return you’ll connect with them. A vibrant relationship will give you wings. There’s a financial investment in

November -- risky and worth it. You’re most decisive and persuasive at the close of the year. A healing happens in June. Libra and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 33, 38 and 12.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

With great charisma comes great responsibility. Be careful how you wield that today. You want friends and fans, but you don’t want people to expect attention from you that you’re not willing to give.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

You’re highly motivated, but don’t make yourself too busy: It will only be counterproduc-

tive. You need to be able to assimilate what you’re experiencing. Dive in where it’s deep enough, within limits -- the pool, not the ocean.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

When you don’t happen to stumble on happiness, fear not. You can still create it like you’re using a favorite recipe: Put in the right ingredients in the right order and you will be happy.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Though your manners are impeccable, a challenging situation puts them to the test.

You’ll use your quick reflexes to save someone (or yourself) from imminent embarrassment.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Getting into love is easy: You just fall. For love to continue, though, efforts must be made.

You have to be willing to keep taking risks. Falling happens, mostly, in uncertain territory.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). It has been said that there is no love, only acts of love. This is the perfect moment to show someone you love that you’ve been listening. Do the exact thing that is most needed or wanted.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ll be an equalizing force in the lives of others -- a safe place for someone to confide in, a neutral party in the war, the fair hand that deals the spoils. Everyone is counting on

your justice... no pressure!

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Fraternizing with the enemy is obviously a breach in ethics, a disloyal move, a dangerous risk -- unless, in doing so, you make the enemy an ally. And just maybe the enemy was never really an enemy at all.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Perfection doesn’t win hearts. Sure, people respect the hard work it takes to be masterful. However, it’s that intangible something that counts much more.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It would be so much easier if life would fall into simple categories, but it never does completely. Anyway, you have too many varied interests for

narrow-mindedness. Your principles are strong, but your mind is open.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You were right to put off a task until you felt compelled to take it on. But enough is enough.

There’s a fine line between inaction and procrastination. Get in there and get it over with.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The difference between a loan and a gift is that one should be repaid literally, while the other should be repaid in a more creative way. Of the two, the loan will be the easier one to manage.

Mystery man Stanley takes quarterback reins at Iowa IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa quarterback Nathan Stanley is such a mystery that few knew until Tuesday that he would rather be called Nate.

Turns out that he associated the more formal “Nathan” with being on his mother’s bad side.

Stanley S t a n l e y ’s preferred first name was just the first of many questions he’ll be asked to answer this season.

Stanley, a 6-foot-5, 235-pound sophomore, was officially named the Hawkeyes starter Monday over Tyler Wiegers following a competition that lasted nearly the entire offseason.

Stanley, who was 5-of-9 passing for 62 yards as Iowa’s backup a year ago, will be under center when the Hawkeyes (8-5 in 2016) host Wyoming on Saturday.

“It was a close call. But we needed to make a decision and start moving forward,” coach Kirk Ferentz said. “The whole staff chipped in, and I think we all saw it was a close, competitive race.”

Stanley is largely unknown to even hardcore fans because his recruitment was low key and because he saw scant playing time as a freshman.

But Iowa’s coaches have long believed that Stanley had a bright future.

Stanley, who turned 20 on Saturday, grew up in Menomonie, a town of about 16,000 people in northwest Wisconsin. Stanley did it all for Menomonie High, starting for four years in basketball and baseball, and excelling as a quarterback, defensive back and punter for the Mustangs.

It was clear after Stanley’s sophomore season, when he threw for 1,276 yards and 14 TDs while leading his school to the playoffs, that he had a future as a Division I quarterback. But unlike many recruits

in the age of social media, Stanley kept his plans so private that college recruiters had to ask Stanley’s high school coach for permission to access his tape online.

Stanley attended camps at Iowa, Michigan State, Wisconsin and Pittsburgh before his junior year at Menomonie.

Stanley instantly felt at home at Iowa, and he committed to the Hawkeyes that summer partly so they’d stop recruiting other quarterbacks in his class.

“Came to camp here, fell in love with the campus, Kinnick (Stadium) and the facilities,” Stanley said. “I figured why not make the decision first? This is really where I want to go.”

Stanley kept his commitment to Iowa even though that wasn’t easy to do.

Paul Chryst, whom Stanley had built a solid relationship with at Pitt, took over at Wisconsin shortly after Stanley committed to Iowa. Chryst tried to persuade Stanley to become a Badger, but Stanley held firm.

“My parents always stressed to be true to your word,” Stanley said.

The expectation for Stanley once he got to Iowa was that he would redshirt as a freshman, bulk up and prepare to compete for the backup job by 2017. But Stanley was so impressive in camp last fall that the coaching staff pushed him ahead of Wiegers.

Though Stanley threw just nine passes in 2016, he was the first true freshman quarterback that Ferentz had trusted enough to see action since 2003.

Wiegers pushed Stanley hard enough for the starting job in both the spring and fall that Iowa coaches extended their own preferred timeline for naming a starter. But Ferentz informed Stanley of his decision Thursday.

A depth chart released Monday still referred to Stanley as Nathan — although this time it came with the news he’d been waiting for months to hear.

HAMILTON, Ontario (AP) — Less than 11 hours after the Hamilton Tiger-Cats of the CFL announced the hiring of former Baylor coach Art Briles as an assistant coach, the league and the team backtracked in the face of public pressure and said he will not be joining the team after all.

“Art Briles will no longer be joining the Hamilton Tiger-Cats as a coach,” read a statement released Monday night from the CFL and Tiger-Cats. “We came to this decision this evening following a lengthy discussion between the league and the Hamilton organization.”

The 61-year-old Briles was fired in May 2016 by Baylor after an investigation by a law firm found that over several years the school mishandled numerous sexual assault allegations, including some against football players.

“We got off to a rough start this past weekend and only came out of a tournament with one win,” Deal said about her team’s performance in the Grinnell tournament Saturday. “There was really high energy tonight. It was huge for us to get a fun game like this to get us going.”

The Bolts appeared to shift momentum into their favor early in the second set. Senior Mary Schabilion started the frame with back-to-back aces and then a pair of aces and a kill by senior Jordynn Wesselink put Baxter up 7-1.

Backed by several errors from Baxter, L-S also got kills from junior Carson Fisk and Loftus to get back into the game. Wesselink though scored on consecutive points to keep the Bolts in front 14-9, but Lynnville-Sully pulled even at 19-all thanks to a Loftus kill.

“I am OK with us taking chances, but we have to learn the situations of the game better,” Ranck said. “We don’t always have to do something spectacular. That’s when we got in our ruts.”

Back-to-back errors and a net violation by the Bolts put L-S in front for the first time, and the Hawks pulled away following three kills from Loftus.

“We were able to come together after we got down, and then we came back stronger,” Loftus said. “It feels good to be able to get some momentum going.”

Another fast start by Weltha and Wesselink put the Bolts up 9-1 in set three. This time, Baxter maintained an advantage throughout the frame. Loftus and Fisk kept the Hawks close, but Wesselink put her team on the board with one of her teamhigh 15 kills.

The Bolts kept momentum in game four with another fast start. A kill by Sophie Meyer put Baxter up 8-2. Lynnville-Sully rallied again to take a 10-9 lead, but consecutive kills from Wesselink pushed the Bolts up 15-11.

Wesselink collected two more kills later in the match to give her squad an 18-13 advantage. Lynnville-Sully didn’t go away quietly, but Weltha and Wesselink helped Baxter even the match with three kills in the final five points.

The fifth and final set started even until Baxter scored three straight to lead 6-3. After that, Wesselink went to the back row and Weltha came out of the game.

Lynnville-Sully took full advantage, scoring seven of the

ANKENY (AP) — A former Iowa State University and NFL player has been arrested, accused of shoplifting ammunition and other items from an Ankeny Knott store.

D e s Moines television station KCCI reports that 26-year-old Jake Knott was arrested Saturday at the Sportsman’s Warehouse. Police say Knott was stopped outside the store and nearly $800 Troy Hyde/Daily News Top: Baxter senior Jordynn Wesselink, left, had 15 kills to lead the Bolts during a five-set loss to Lynnville-Sully on Tuesday.

next eight points to go up 10-7.

Wesselink returned to the front row and put her team back in front when she finished off a 4-0 run with two straight blasts at the net.

Loftus and Wesselink then traded points to keep Baxter in front, but the Hawks scored twice on Baxter errors and then senior Skyler Young served up an ace to give the home team match point.

Senior McKinley Conover clinched the victory with a kill two points later.

“They fought for every point tonight. They were absolutely resilient. That’s a good word for this group,” Deal said.

Not only did Baxter get stuck

with its two best hitters out of the front row during the deciding stretch in the final set, the Bolts had two freshmen at the net in their places.

“We have to do better at figuring out to score points when Amber is out and Jordynn is in the back row,” Ranck said. “It’s the nature of being at a small school though, too. We just have to figure it out. We need to be more consistent.”

Loftus finished with a matchhigh 17 kills, but five other Hawks had at least three kills.

Young had 39 assists, five kills and six digs.

Conover and Fisk each added five kills and six digs.

Wesselink (15) and Weltha (13) combined for 28 kills, but the rest of the Bolts had just 10 total. Schabilion had five of those.

Senior Sailor Hinegardner collected 18 digs. Junior Sydney Schmidt and senior Lexi Ewing shared time at setter, and the Baxter duo finished with 16 and 14 assists, respectively.

Lynnville-Sully hosts Class 2A East Marshall at 7:30 p.m. Thursday in Sully.

in ammunition and gun accessories he had not bought were found concealed on Knott.

Knott has been charged with third-degree theft. He was released from the Polk County Jail after posting bond.

It’s unclear whether he has an attorney and a phone number could not be found for him Tuesday.

Knott was a linebacker at ISU before signing with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2013. He was released by the Eagles in 2014 and was briefly with the Miami Dolphins before being cut in 2015.

Chase Elliott moving to father’s No. 9 in number swap CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — Chase Elliott will drive his father’s i c o n ic No. 9 next season in a number swap at H e n d r i c k Motorsports.

WilElliott liam Byron will take the No. 24, made famous by Jeff Gordon.

The No. 5 will not be fielded for the first time since 1984.

It was Hendrick’s original car number and Terry Labonte drove that number in his 1996 championship season.

Elliott raced the No. 9 to the 2014 Xfinity Series title, and his Hall of Fame father Bill Elliott drove it to 38 Cup wins and the 1988 series championship.

“I wasn’t sure I’d ever drive the ‘9’ again,” said Chase Elliott. “It’s a huge deal to my family and everyone back home (in

Georgia), and I hope all of our fans will be pumped to see it back on the racetrack. There’s a legacy attached to that number, and I want to carry it on. I think it’s awesome that Hendrick Motorsports and NAPA wanted to do this. It’s impossible not to be excited.”

Owner Rick Hendrick said he understood the ties the Elliott family has to the No. 9.

“They’ve contributed so much to our sport, and I’m happy we can honor that history by bringing the number back,” Hendrick said.

“I think fans will really love seeing it out there.

I told Chase we’d only do it if he promised to win a bunch of races, so I’m going to hold him to that.”

Byron will take over the No. 24 as a rookie next season in the Daytona 500.

Gordon drove the number his entire Cup career and Elliott has driven it the last two seasons.
