Police obtain pound of meth, $16K in high-speed chase

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News PRAIRIE CITY — Prairie City Police confiscated more than a pound of methamphetamine and approximately $16,000 in cash from a vehicle involved in a high speed chase Aug. 24 on Highway 163.

According to a police report, a white Dodge Durango SUV was found wrecked at 9:30 p.m. in a Colfax driveway in the 700 block of South Boise Street, approximately one hour after a Prairie City police officer lost visual of the vehicle on the gravel at West 124th Street between the two towns.

Witnesses said the driver of the SUV fled into a nearby wooded area following the crash. Police are not releasing the identity of the suspect, and as of Thursday, no arrests have been made in the case. Eight charges are expected in the case ranging from possession of a controlled substance to eluding, a class D felony.

The Prairie City Police Department said the incident is thought to be linked to a larger auto theft investigation underway by Iowa State Patrol. During the course of the Aug. 24 investigation, police discovered the SUV was reported stolen from Deery Brothers in Pleasant Hill.

The incident began at 8:25 p.m. when the driver was spotted traveling 77 mph in a 65 mph zone westbound on Highway 163. The driver attempted to evade police by turning onto West 116th Street in Prairie City, reaching speeds of 80 mph on the rural gravel roads. The driver reportedly ran a stop sign during the chase.

Police said the combination of gravel dust and lack of sunlight caused the officer to lose sight of the SUV during the pursuit.

Other items found in the vehicle include smoking pipes and unspecified drug paraphernalia. According to police, the street value of the methamphetamine collected is approximately $150,000.

The Mid-Iowa Narcotics Enforcement Task Force, the Colfax Police Department and Iowa State Patrol also assisted Prairie City Police in the incident.

David Dolmage/Daily News Elaine Deppe gets a kiss from her dog Jewel. Deppe is disputing a large veterinarian bill she received after her dog was picked up by the Jasper County Animal Rescue League and taken to Des Moines for treatment.

Jasper County dog owner disputes hefty vet bill

JCARL stands by effort to care for wandering stray

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News KELLOGG — Jewel might be back home again, but she brought a stack of bills with her. A Jasper County woman is concerned after her dog was picked up by the Animal Rescue League and given medical treatment, leaving her with a $1,300 vet bill.

Elaine Deppe, who lives north of Rock Creek State Park, in the northeastern corner of Jasper County is angry with officials at the Jasper County Animal Rescue League after

her dog Jewel, a terrier mix was picked up by an animal control officer earlier this summer. Deppe and her husband Clayton leave their dogs, Jewel, and Duke, a lab mix outside during the day, allowing them to roam freely over their 6-acre homestead.

On Aug. 2, Deppe realized she hadn’t seen Jewel recently, and the following Thursday, her husband told her he hadn’t seen Jewel in a few days.

This isn’t the first time Jewel or Duke has turned up missing. Last summer, the Jasper County ARL picked up Jewel and

Duke at Rock Creek State Park after they managed to get out of their kennels. Deppe said it’s hard to keep the dogs confined, calling them “Houdini dogs.”

“They had been picked up last summer by the ARL, but since they are microchipped we don’t really make a big fuss about it,” Deppe said.

Unbeknownst to Deppe, that same Wednesday an animal control officer had spotted Jewel on a gravel road. The officer picked up Jewel, and after seeing the dog was injured contacted Rachel Long, the director of the Jasper County Animal Rescue League. Long took Jewel to the Iowa Vet Referral Center in Des Moines

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Friday, Sept. 1, the 244th day of 2017. There are 121 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On September 1, 1939, World War II began as Nazi Germany invaded Poland.

On this date: In 1807, former Vice President Aaron Burr was found not guilty of treason. (Burr was then tried on a misdemeanor charge, but was again acquitted.)

In 1897, the first section of Boston’s new subway system was opened.

In 1905, Alberta and Saskatchewan entered Confederation as the eighth and ninth provinces of Canada.

In 1914, the last passenger pigeon in captivity, “Martha,” died at the Cincinnati Zoo. In 1923, the Japanese cities of Tokyo and Yokohama were devastated by an earthquake that claimed some 140,000 lives.

In 1945, Americans received word of Japan’s formal surrender that ended World War II. (Because of the time difference, it was Sept. 2 in Tokyo Bay, where the ceremony took place.)

In 1951, the United States, Australia and New Zealand signed a mutual defense pact, the ANZUS treaty.

In 1969, a coup in Libya brought Moammar Gadhafi to power.

In 1976, U.S. Rep. Wayne L. Hays, D-Ohio, resigned in the wake of a scandal in which he admitted having an affair with “secretary” Elizabeth Ray. In 1983, 269 people were killed when a Korean Air Lines Boeing 747 was shot down by a Soviet jet fighter after the airliner entered Soviet airspace.

In 1987, peace demonstrator S. Brian Willson lost his lower legs when he was hit by a train at the Concord Naval Weapons Station in California while protesting weapons shipments to Central America.

In 1995, a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum in Cleveland. (The hall opened to the public the next day.)

Ten years ago: Idaho Sen. Larry Craig announced his resignation, saying he would leave office on Sept. 30, 2007, in the wake of fallout over his arrest and guilty plea in a Minnesota airport gay sex sting.

(However, Craig later reversed his decision, saying he would serve out the rest of his term.) Clay Buchholz threw a no-hitter in his second major league start, just hours after being called up by the Boston Red Sox. Buchholz struck out nine, walked three and hit one batter to give the Red Sox a 10-0 victory over Baltimore.

Five years ago: President Barack Obama ridiculed the just-completed Republican National Convention as better-suited to an era of black-and-white TV and “trickle-down, you’re on your own” economics, and declared that Mitt Romney “did not offer a single new idea” for fixing the economy. Lyricist Hal David, 91, who teamed with Burt Bacharach on dozens of timeless songs for movies, television and a variety of recording artists in the 1960s and beyond, died in Los Angeles.

One year ago: A massive fireball and explosion erupted at SpaceX’s main launch pad at Cape Canaveral, destroying a rocket as well as a satellite that Facebook was counting on to spread internet service in Africa.

Public mourns Princess Diana on 20th anniversary of death LONDON (AP) — Kathy Martin joined the stream of visitors laying tributes to Princess Diana outside the gates of Kensington Palace on Thursday, just as she did 20 years ago.

The 55-year-old Diana devotee vividly remembers Aug. 31, 1997. She was wakened by an early morning phone call from family in Australia telling her the princess had died in a Paris car accident, then raced to the palace with her daughter and was among the first to leave a floral tribute. Throngs of people began arriving 10 minutes later, adding cards, teddy bears and mountains of flowers.

Martin returns to Kensington Palace, where Diana once lived, every year on the anniversary of her death, on Christmas and

AP Photo People crowd around the gates of Kensington Palace in London to pay tribute to the late Diana, Princess of Wales, Thursday. Tributes at the gates are to mark the 20th anniversary of Diana’s death, in a car crash in Paris on Aug. 31, 1997.

on the princess’ birthday.

On Thursday, she brought picture collages, poems and a Victorian spongecake decorated with Diana’s picture, which she shared with other royal fans.

“She was just the beautiful, warming, caring humanitarian,” Martin said.

“She touched all walks of life. Diana always put a smile on the face and that’s something for people.”

The weeks leading up to the anniversary have been filled with television documentaries and newspaper stories reflecting on the princess and her contributions to the country and to the monarchy. Diana’s sons, Princes William and Harry, added to the buildup with a series of heart-wrenching interviews in which they talked about their mother’s love and the pain of her death.

On Thursday though, it was the public’s turn to recall “The People’s Princess.” Fans like Martin gathered at the palace to mark the two decades since Diana’s death triggered a flood of grief across Britain and beyond.

Her admirers began paying tribute to the princess before dawn, placing candles shaped in the letter “D’’ at the palace gates.

Local & State News JCARL Continued from Page 1A a local veterinarian. Veterinarian Dr. Drew White, who works at the Grinnell Veterinary Clinic has responded to after hours emergency calls for the JCARL in the past, although he said he hasn’t received a call from them in last eight months. He examined Jewel after Deppe brought her into the Grinnell Veterinary Clinic, and in his opinion, Jewel’s injury wasn’t as significant as Long believed it to be.

“The wound looked relatively superficial, it hadn’t gotten into the muscle layers,” White said.

During his work with JCARL, White said a similar procedure would cost between $200-$500, depending on whether or not sedation was required. Grinnell Veterinary Clinic has a $130 charge for emergency after hours service, up from their standard rate of $50. White said he’d have to see an itemized bill to understand why IVRC’s fees where so much higher, but

when Deppe contacted the organization in an attempt to make payment arrangements, she said they refused to speak to her and referred her back to JCARL. White said that level of confidentiality is standard practice.

“If the rescue league brings a dog in they are considered the owner, and the dog is our patient,” White said. “Due to confidentiality, we’re required to get permission from the shelter in order to give information to the owners.”

According to Long, when Jewel was picked up by the animal control officer she was scanned for a microchip, which the officer was unable to detect. When the animal control officer brought the dog to Des Moines Long was present, she said watched staff at IVRC scan Jewel again without finding the microchip.

Long’s story doesn’t add up to Deppe. She claims that Long told her she forgot to scan Jewel, and later changed her story to say she attempted to scan the dog but wasn’t able to find the microchip.

Microchips have a tenden-

cy to migrate throughout the animal’s body, White said and a thorough scan usually goes from leg to leg to make sure the microchip isn’t missed when a dog is picked up.

When Long scanned Jewel at the Grinnell Veterinary Clinic he found the microchip in the correct location, between her shoulder blades.

“I’m not sure why it didn’t come up for them, the battery may have been slightly low, they may have tried one side or not the other,” White said.

“Maybe they scanned it perfectly, and it didn’t come up.

It came up very easily for us.”

Deppe is convinced Long and staff at JCARL failed to scan Jewel correctly, and she thinks the organization should refund half of the money they paid the ARL to get Jewel back. In order to pay the bill, Deppe and her husband maxed out their credit cards.

“We’re a middle class family with four kids, with back to school time things are tight for us, this was very difficult to swallow,” Deppe said. “We’re not denying that she needed

the Interstate 80 exit 164, which serves as a primary entrance to the city.

In June 2016, it was announced that 4G Properties of Colorado purchased the approximately 1.2 acres for $100,000 with plans to open the new eatery. The amount was later reduced to $80,000 due to additional preparation costs following pre-construction surveys.

In total, the investment from 4G is proposed at more than $1 million. The company is planning to build an upscale-type restaurant along with accompanying signage and landscaping.

The council is hoping the construction of the new restaurant will spur the redevelopment of the rest of the site, which totals approximately 10.49 acres.

The event’s time change is the only difference this year, according to Zach Umsted, vice president of YPJC. The time of the event was moved back from 6 p.m. to allow more time for chowing down and voting.

The YPJC will provide each participating business and organization with 200 hot dogs, 200 buns and booth space on the square. Each business or organization paid an admission of $100.

YPJC president Erin Blank said all the money raised from the event will go to local charity organizations.

“Thanks with Franks is an awesome event held annually where local businesses give out free hot dogs to show there appreciation for the continued support that they receive from the local community,” Blank said.

The concession stand will be run by Red Pride Service Day, and all profits made by the stand will be donated to them.

Creative hot dogs over the years include the Elvis Dog with peanut butter and bananas, the Garbage Dog, the Hippie Hot Dog and the Smashed Dog.

that care, but since she wasn’t scanned properly I think it’s pretty reasonable to ask for half our money back.”

When Deppe contacted Long to express her frustrations Long said Deppe could contact the board with her concerns, but she’s confident she handled the situation correctly. Long said JCARL plans to continue using the veterinarian services in Des Moines even though they are more expensive than local vets.

“Cost is an important factor but quality of care is an important factor as well,” Long said. “We are using the facility that we use because during my time here I’ve never had a reason to seek care otherwise.“ In a subsequent interview with the Daily News on Thursday, Long claimed she had reached out to local veterinarians in the past.

“The small number of times that I’ve reached out to these facilities they’ve refused care or failed to respond in a timely manner,” Long said.

In March of 2017 Long said she sought assistance from

Grinnell Vet Clinic utilizing their after hours services, and they said they were unable to assist because the animal was a stray, and they did not know who the owner was. Because none of the on-call facilities in Jasper County are staffed 24/7 Long prefers to take injured animals to Des Moines where there are facilities staffed around the clock.

Meanwhile, Deppe and her husband no longer allow Jewel to roam free with Duke.

During the day Jewel stays inside, and when Deppe lets her out in the afternoon, she’s kept on the leash. According to White, the idea of free roaming “farm dogs” is largely a thing of the past.

“In Poweshiek and Jasper County they have pretty strict rules on lost dogs,” White said.

“Any dog that’s a stray, or they think is a stray will be sent to the ARL and the first visit is free, but second, third, and fourth you’re going to be paying, and it goes up every time.”

“People can expect a wide range of crazy hot dogs this year, and some pretty funky hot dog beats from JJ Express,” Umsted said. “Everyone should come hungry and enjoy the event.”

JJ Express is a local band that trades in classic rock, blue grit, sunny jams, sleek grooves and original odysseys.

In order to spread out and give everyone equal room for their booths, YPJC will be assigning booths on a first come, first served basis.

There are a limited number of electric spots, so electric booths are limited. Bringing a small generator is encouraged to provide power for booths.

Setup will begin at 4:30 p.m. on Sept. 7 for booths. To find out updated information, visit the YPJC Facebook page.

So Anyway Dana King

emember being young and fearless? Maybe fearless is the wrong word. Maybe I should say young and impetuous.

As I was growing up, not once did I have a broken bone. Never gave a second thought to the risks involved in any stupid activity I did.

When I was a toddler, I was showing off my new tennis shoes and when I came to an abrupt stop, I fell onto the corner of my grandparent’s television console and split my chin open. But no broken bones.

I had an awful mini-bike wreck when I was about 7 years old which removed a good portion of the hide

from my left leg, left arm and the side of my face. But no broken bones.

I wiped out on a hill while cruising down it on my skateboard as a teenager and still have the battle wounds from that one. But no broken bones.

By no means would I consider myself to have been reckless. I was just a normal, energetic kid, albeit apparently at times a clumsy one.

When I was a growing up, most of our summer weekends we were camping and boating. My family spent a lot of time on the water. We didn’t fish.

We skied.

It seemed to me my dad’s favorite part of pulling us kids behind the boat as we skied was trying to get us to wipe out. He could usually manage to dump

my brother and sister, however, I was a force to be reckoned with. Oh, I did my fair share of cartwheels across the surface of Adams County’s Lake Icaria, but I always got right back up (usually after several tears and scolding my dad as he claimed victory).

I loved skiing and for my 12th birthday, the only thing in the world I wanted as a gift was a slalom water ski. It was a beautiful, silver ski with lettering that just “popped.” It came in a stylish case, and I was in my element when I put on my ski gloves, dived into the water, slipped my feet in the bindings and readied myself for a day of jumping wakes, manipulating the ski to get the biggest spray, and basically having the time of my life. I was fearless.

Fast-forward to this summer.

My daughter and I recently took a little vacation to the Lake of the Ozarks to visit my aunt and uncle. It so happens, these are the relatives who

introduced my parents to the world of boating and skiing when I was very young.

Avery was still in “recovery” mode from her foot surgery back in June and was “non-weight bearing” on her right foot. But there was no way to keep that 26-year-old from enjoying water sports, in one form or another.

Their jet ski was the best solution.

It took several of us to help with the awkwardness of crutches and lowing her from the dock to the jet ski, but after that ... she was a girl on the go!

So anyway...

It’s been about 30 years since I’ve done any water skiing, and I have nothing to prove to anyone. It’s funny how a person re-evaluates fun when there is a fear of things breaking — like an arm, a leg or a hip. I’ve well surpassed my dare-devil days.

I’ll just stick to my kayak and paddle. My need for speed has been replaced by a gentler flow of slow.

Katiedid Vs Katiedid Langrock

Crime baby I don’t know how it began, the encouraging of my son to become a crime lord. Most likely, it was birthed out of necessity, as so many poor seemingly short-term parenting choices are. It was probably because of a tantrum, a freakout, a clingy spell, a crying spell — some event in which throwing my son off his game, making him question or making him confused, was the only surefire way to get him to stop whatever nonsense he was currently engaged in.

“Just steal it,” I must’ve said about that toy he wanted me to buy or that airplane he wanted to ride. “Go ahead. Take it. But you’d better get away before the feds come.” Undoubtedly, he stopped crying/screaming/ flailing and cocked his head in that cute, inquisitive way he does and said something along the lines of, “But, Mama, we can’t steal. That’s wrong.” Thus turning the tantrum on its head, making him the person telling me no.

It’s a tactic I use a lot, and in the short term, the results are pretty stellar. The con-man parent approach bats around 1.000. And whenever a parent finds something that works to quickly dry up a meltdown, it’s pretty hard for the parent to turn his or her back on it. It’s why you see so many kids, eyes red from crying, walking around Target with a large chocolate bar melting around their now-smiling mouths. We cave. I cave by suggesting absurd crimes to my mini.

A baby running a crime ring is inherently amusing. It’s why we always laugh at the cigar-toting tot in “Who Framed Roger Rabbit.” It’s why Dave Chappelle’s baby-on-the-corner routine is surprising and hilarious. But what never occurred to me prior to having children is that the idea of the jailbird baby didn’t pop into the imaginations of adults willy-nilly. Those cute little monsters gave us the idea of a crawling criminal by simply being the adorable, occasionally evil toddling little tyrants they are.

When my son was first learning how to walk, he used to make his way around restaurants and parks, looking for the next sturdy source to lean on and catch his fall. But though his next location was determined by his need for balance, his desired destination was always a woman’s purse. He knew those things were full of goodies and toys. Often my 1 1/2-year-old would return to me, all smiles, handing me a recently snatched wallet. I would thank him for the loot and walk back to the unsuspecting lady and explain that my klepto-kiddo had just stolen her cash and credit cards. The woman would usually smile and comment on how cute my baby was. No harm, no foul. And an idea for the most adorable baby crime ring was born. Move over, Artful Dodger; my pickpockets are pint-size! ‘m sure this memory is what made me think of suggesting that my child steal to quell a tantrum some years later. And the notion of our being secret thieves began to permeate throughout our conversations.

Recently, when I saw a Jeep I liked, my son said, “We should steal it!” “Totally,” I agreed. “If the doors of the car are open, we’re jumping in and driving it home.” My son ran up to the door and tugged. It swung open. Uhoh. My kid looked so eager; this was his big “Gone in 60 Seconds” moment! I tried to cover. “Oh, shoot, we need the keys.”

“They’re right there,” my son exclaimed, pointing to the keys hanging in the ignition.

C’mon, people! How am I supposed to teach my kid not to steal your car when you make it so easy?

I made up some reason as to why it was not a good time for grand theft auto and rushed my kid out of the parking lot. But the gleam in my child’s eye made me wonder whether I had taken the stealing jokes too far — or whether he even knew it was a joke. I had always assumed he was in on it.

Yesterday we went to an antiques store that is on the first floor of the owner’s house. Despite the “open” sign, a security alarm blared when we opened the front door. My son bolted straight toward our car, screaming, “Hurry! We gotta get away before the feds come!”

We may need to have a serious talk.

Obituaries Alexander C. Welke Aug. 26, 2017 Alexander Clayton Welke, our dearly loved Alex, 25, from St. Louis Park died u n e x p ectedly Saturday, Aug. 26, 2 0 1 7 .

He will be immensely missed. Alex was born July 6, 1992, to Lisa (Cotton) Welke and Jeff Welke in Lafayette, La. They moved to Minnesota when he was 6 months old. Alex at-

tended Park Spanish Immersion Elementary, Robbinsdale Technology and Language Campus, St. Louis Park High School and completed his GED. Alex loved playing basketball and soccer and enjoyed watching all kinds of sports. He especially enjoyed and appreciated the beauty of nature. Alex worked very hard to conquer substance abuse, realizing it was a long-term struggle. He was determined to prevail, often writing motivational messages to keep himself on the right path.

He was very spiritual and he could sense the vibes of those around

him, always trying to turn the negatives into positives.

According to his sister, Rachel, he was the “best brother ever,” and his friends felt the same by how loving, caring and protective he was to those closest to him. He was quiet and reserved and cooking was his passion. He was a creative cook and the results were always amazing but the “kitchen help” was expected to do the cleanup. He was looking forward to owning his own food truck because he always wanted everyone’s hearts and bellies as full as his. He was a loving father and immensely enjoyed ev-

ery second with his son, Carter, who is 5 years old. Carter not only inherited his dad’s crooked pinkies, but it appears that they shared a mutual love of numbers and basketball.

Alex is survived by his son, Carter; loving mother, Lisa; sister, Rachel Welke; father, Jeff Welke (Nancy); faithful dog, Stella; maternal grandmother, Jane Ann Cotton of Newton; and numerous loving aunts, uncles and cousins. A memorial service is at 4 p.m. Friday, Sept. 1 with visitation one hour prior at Washburn-McReavy. com, Edina Chapel, 5000 W. 50th St. at Hwy 100, 952-920-3996.

This includes city hall, waterworks, landfill, library, parks and city grounds, planning and zon-

A busy Labor Day weekend expected on Iowa waterways As the unofficial end to summer approaches, boaters will experience high volumes of traffic on the waterways and at the boat ramps this weekend.

DNR officials are reminding anyone hitting the water this weekend to be aware of their surroundings at all times and practice all common safety measures.

“With what appears to be a very favorable forecast for the extended holiday weekend, we expect to see many people out on the wa-

ter enjoying some of the last nice weather of the season,” Susan Stocker, DNR boating law administrator and education coordinator said.

DNR will have enforcement officers on the lake monitoring all vessels and boaters to ensure all safety precautions are being taken to prevent any crashes, injuries or fatalities.

Last year over the Labor Day weekend, there were a total of five boating incidents reported, two involving property damage in ex-

cess of $2,000 and three incidents with personal injuries. One individual was also arrested for boating while intoxicated over the holiday weekend.

Officers remind boaters to boat sober or have a designated driver of the boat.

“Boaters need to remember that .08 limit in a vehicle is the same on the water. In fact, drinking while driving a vessel can be more dangerous at times because of the direct impact from the sun on your body

Be sure to have life jackets on board for all boaters and ensure they fit properly, have all proper equipment, including a working fire extinguisher, on board while on the water.

“We want everyone to have a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend on the water, and that is only possible with your help,” Stocker said.

Sharing news of diagnosis is difficult for parkinson’s patient DEAR ABBY: I’m an active, 60-something wife, mother and grandmother who was recently diagnosed with early stage Parkinson’s disease. From all outward appearances, I appear healthy and I’m living my life as normally as possible, as my neurologist suggested.

My symptom manifests as a right-sided (dominant side) hand tremor that I try to hide as much as possible. Covering my hand with a napkin in a restaurant, sliding it under my leg or putting it into my pocket has worked so far to prevent the tremors from being noticed. This is not going to work for long.

My immediate family members are aware of my condition, but I haven’t told extended family, friends or acquaintances about my situation. I become very emotional when discussing it and break down and cry. Can you suggest how to broach this subject, and when to tell others about my condition? Your guidance would be very much appreciated. — HIDING AS MUCH AS I CAN DEAR HIDING: I’m sorry about your difficult diagnosis, but I hope you have done some research and are comforted that there have been advances in the treatment of your illness. We both know that at some point a sharpeyed friend or relative will notice the tremor and ask about it. That’s why I think it’s important you be proactive about what’s going on. However, if you would prefer to be spared tearful conversations you would rather avoid, ask one of your loved ones to let the others know. Because immediate family members already know, chances are the information will spread that way, too.

DEAR ABBY: My family is the definition of dysfunctional. We all honestly could use some therapy after everything we’ve been through. I feel like I’m the only rational person in my

family. I am the only one who sought professional help.

My sister “Alexa” is a narcissist. I realized it a long time ago. My mother is in denial, and she continues to push me to have a relationship with her. Speaking to Alexa is emotionally draining. Every time she’s mentioned, I get flashbacks about the ways she abused me. Being in the same room with her is uncomfortable. The saving grace is that we live a thousand miles apart, and I’m not forced to interact with her daily.

She’s getting married next year and wants me and my children to be in the wedding. I accepted because I felt obligated, but I just can’t do it anymore. I don’t WANT to do it anymore! After all the years of her abuse and torment, I just want to be free. The problem: I finally put my foot down and told Alexa not to contact me again. Am I being selfish? — SELFISH IN THE EAST DEAR SELFISH: I don’t think so.

However, because you accepted that responsibility before telling her not to contact you again, YOU should contact HER and ask if she has changed her plans about you and your children being in her wedding. (You may be pleasantly surprised to find her answer is yes.) However, if she hasn’t, be upfront with her NOW so your sister will have time to replace you in her wedding party.

Fairmeadows North, Hotel Maytag top city council agenda

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Several high-profile projects currently underway will be up for discussion at Monday’s city council meeting.

Awarding the contract for the Fairmeadows North Plat 8 extension, the development agreement for Hotel Maytag and extension of the Housing Initiative program are on the agenda for action.

The city entered into an agreement with the Newton Housing Development Corporation to facilitate the purchase of 7.3 acres of land north of the current Fairmeadows North subdivision.

Since the purchase, steps have been taken to divide and develop the land into 23 lot residen-

tial subdivision.

Six firms submitted bids for the construction plans and specifications prepared by Snyder and Associates for the area.

With the add-alternate included in the bid, the lower bidder of Sandstone Management LTD of Carlisle is recommended for the project.

Iowa seeks to cut Medicaid health care benefit to save money DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa is seeking federal approval to cut a key Medicaid health care benefit for the elderly and poor in an effort to save money.

The state has asked the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to eliminate a provision that allows a person to get Medicaid coverage three months before he or she submits an application to join the program. The provision ensures a care facility receives retroactive Medicaid payment for treating some patients who are suddenly sick or in an accident.

The move was mandated in a budget bill approved months ago by the GOP-controlled Legislature that added cost-containment initiatives, but it still requires federal approval. Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds was still lieutenant governor when

the legislation was approved, but her staff said Thursday she supports the move.

The Iowa Department of Human Services estimates the change, which would impact new Medicaid patients, would save about $36.7 million annually. That includes about $9.7 million for the state.

DHS said it hopes to implement the changes on Oct. 1. The state notes it would offer more limited retroactive coverage, making it effective the first day of the month in which a Medicaid application was filed.

In documentation supporting the move, DHS wrote that the change would align Medicaid with the commercial market, which doesn’t offer such a retroactive policy. Iowa’s Medicaid program serves more than 600,000 low-income and disabled residents. The

elimination of the coverage is expected to reduce monthly enrollment by more than 3,300 people.

“Eliminating Medicaid retroactivity encourages individuals to obtain and maintain health insurance coverage, even when healthy,” according to the documentation.

Brenna Smith, Reynolds’ press secretary, said in an email the governor supports the plan, pointing out the approved legislation has “items to efficiently manage the rising cost of Medicaid spending.”

Several groups and health care providers oppose the proposal, which has been introduced in a handful of other states.

Wayne Marple, chief financial officer for Inhance Corp., which owns two rural Iowa care facilities, submitted comments to the federal program that argued the change would shift costs to patients and providers.

nate 2.

A proposed public hearing for the development agreement with Hotel Maytag Investors, LLC is also on the agenda. The city is looking to enter into an agreement with Hotel Maytag Investors in connection with the redevelopment of Hotel Maytag building.

The development agreement would provide economic development grants to the developer in the amount of more than $2.8 million and property tax incentives in the form of annual appropriation incremental property tax rebate payments in the amount not to exceed $360,000.

An ongoing incentive provided by the city, the Newton Housing Initia-

tive program has been very successful since its inception. It is proposed to extend the program through December 2020.

Currently, building permit and inspection fees are waived. Under the new proposal, building permit and inspection fees would be phased in during a three year period.

In 2018, these fees will be waived completely. In 2019, a 50 percent discount on these fees would be provided and starting on Jan. 1, 2020, any person applying for a building permit would pay the full amount of building permit and inspection fees.

Iowa treasurer: State should borrow to ensure bills are paid DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa’s treasurer is warning that the state should borrow money to ensure it can pay its bills on time amid a potential budget shortfall, but Gov. Kim Reynolds’ staff says the move is politically driven.

Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald announced Thursday that he had asked the Republican governor to authorize using loan notes that are paid back quickly and don’t increase the state’s liabilities.

Fitzgerald, a Democrat, says borrowing would be a “sensible way” to manage “uncertainties.”

Fitzgerald Brenna Smith, Reynolds’ press secretary, says Fitzgerald is engaging in “headline-grabbing scare tactics” and it’s “unwise” to suggest the state can’t pay its bills. Fitzgerald says his warning is not political.

Reynolds may need to call a special legislative session to address the state’s roughly $7.2 billion budget. A nonpartisan state agency has estimated Iowa faces a revenue shortfall of about $100 million, but the figure could fluctuate.

US job growth slows to 156K; unemployment up to 4.4% WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. job growth slowed in August as employers added 156,000 jobs, still enough to suggest that most businesses remain confident in an economy now in its ninth year of recovery from the Great Recession.

Q&A: Explaining Jasper County Parents as Teachers Jasper County Health Department Jasper County Parents as Teachers (PAT) is experiencing numerous changes in the near future. Below are some of the changes and why they are happening.

1. What is JCCPCA? JCCPCA (Jasper County Council for the Prevention of Child) has been around for more than 20 years and the main program is Parents as Teachers. The mission of the organization is dedication to the highest quality of child abuse prevention programs which foster family growth and development. Through the combined efforts of individuals and organizations, it seeks to provide a brilliant tomorrow through the empowerment of the family today. Parents as Teachers employees five part-

time employees. Two of the employees, Jackie Sparks and Tari Brostrom, are retiring in 2018.

2. Why the change in Jasper County for JCCPCA, Parents as Teachers program? The JCCPCA Board of Directors voted to make this change due to the reality that a very small agency can no longer survive and the funding source, the JMP Board, felt it should be based under Jasper County Health Department which is the hub for public health services in Jasper County.

3. What if Jasper County Health Department did not take over Jasper County Parents as Teachers Program?

There is a high chance that the program would no longer be in Jasper County and numerous high risk, needy children would no longer receive

services. The Jasper County Board of Health reflected on the Community Health Needs Assessment noting that child abuse and neglect is one of the top issues in Jasper County.

Jasper County residents have been extremely supportive of the prevention of child abuse programs over the years and numerous donations also have funded the program. A good portion of the families served are DHS cases and there would not be adequate resources to see the high-risk children in the county. When we think about the most vulnerable children in the community and high incidence of child abuse, we feel it is essential that Jasper County should continue the Parents as Teachers program because the need is evident.

4. How is PAT funded?

Parents as Teachers is current-

ly and will continue to be fully funded through the Greater Poweshiek Foundation though the Jasper, Marion, Poweshiek (JMP) Early Childhood Iowa Area fund. County tax dollars will not be used for this program. If funding goes away, we would look for other funding sources or reduce or eliminate services. With that being said, we feel the funding is secure and has been funding the program for many years. Research from the CDC indicates that the total lifetime economic burden of child abuse is $124 billion dollars. For every $1 spent on prevention, the savings is $5.60 according to the American Public Health Association. If we don’t have the program in Jasper County the funds and program may be used by Marion or Poweshiek counties.

5. When will the transi-

tion take place? The planning is starting now, but will start February 2018. Everyone is hopeful that the transition is seamless for the needy families.

6. What positions will remain the same? There are currently three part time parent educator positions through JCCPCA. The Board of Health and the Board of Supervisors agreed to post the positions for the three educators starting in February 2018. Existing Jasper County Health Department staff will assume additional duties and Jasper County will be reimbursed through the JMP funds for their work.

So in the end, less County tax dollars will be used.

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News INDIANOLA — NCMP’s Aquagirls split a dual dual swim meet Thursday hosted

by Indianola. The Aquagirls beat Grinnell 93-20 but lost to Indianola 60-44 in varsity action at the Indianola YMCA. “Even though we didn’t win the meet, we swam really well and fought all the way to the end,” NCMP head coach Sarah Patterson said.

NCMP won four varsity races. Complete results of the meet were not available.

Patterson gave these highlights.

Lindsey Blommers claimed first place in the 50-yard freestyle race and the 100 breaststroke. She also combined with Jessica Zahn, Courtney Dawson and Alex Inskeep to win the 200 freestyle relay.

Hawks fall at home

File Photo Chicago Cubs starter Kyle Hendricks pitched in Thursday’s Cub win at home against the Atlanta Braves.

Cubs extend winning streak to four

CHICAGO (AP) — Kyle Hendricks felt so out-ofwhack that he found himself simulating his pitching motion between pitches early on.

Despite a laundry list of things that felt wrong, Hendricks and the Chicago Cubs continued to do most everything right.

Hendricks turned in his fourth straight quality start and the Cubs ran their winning streak to four with a 6-2 victory over the Atlanta Braves on Thursday night.

Hendricks (6-4) allowed one earned run on five hits while striking out five and walking three in 6 2/3 innings as the reigning World Series champs maintained their 3 1/2-game lead over the Mil-

waukee Brewers in the National League Central.

“From the start today it was one of those days,” Hendricks said. “Uncomfortable.

Felt weird. Command was terrible. My timing was off. I wasn’t staying over the rubber well. Today really the guys just made the plays behind me and scored enough runs.”

Jon Jay had four hits and Kris Bryant homered to lead the Cubs offense.

Bryant’s two-run blast through a stiff wind in the sixth inning made him the first Cubs player to begin his career with three straight 25-homer seasons.

“Pretty crazy when you think of the history of this organization, to be the first to do

Gauging your measure T

here are many ways to gauge the measure of success.

Newton High’s volleyball team had a good gauge of what it is going to take to be successful in the Little Hawkeye Conference in 2017. The Cardinals played preseason Class 5A 12thranked Indianola on Tuesday and lost in three sets. In the first set, Newton scored seven points then doubled its output in the second set and scored in double figures again in the third set.

Carter Lee, who is one of nine seniors on the Newton volleyball team, and NHS head coach Ashley Carter spoke of it being a growing and developmental season for the program as the Cardinals embarked on the new year. Nine seniors bring varsity playing time to the court for Newton, but not all have started before this season.

Weaving players from all four classes together into a strong unit on the varsity court is what the Newton play-

that,” Bryant said. “It is really cool, an honor. It feels good.”

“That ball was really killed because that wind was stiff,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “That ball was really well struck.”

Hendricks was backed by Brian Duensing, Carl Edwards and Justin Wilson, who combined on 2 1/3 scoreless innings of relief.

Rookie left-hander Sean Newcomb (2-8) took the loss, allowing two runs on eight hits while striking out seven and walking three in five innings.

Pinch-hitter Lane Adams hit his second career home run to chase Hendricks with two outs in the seventh. The Braves other run off Hendricks in the fifth was unearned.

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets ers and coaches are working toward.

The Cardinals are 2-2 this early in the season. There will be growing pains.

There will be ups and downs.

The Cardinals learn and move forward as they worked their way through the season. They are back on the road Tuesday against Dallas Center-Grimes in conference play then have two non-conference matches on Thursday at South Tama.

There are three volleyball teams in the Little Hawkeye Conference currently ranked. Indianola is No. 12 in Class 5A while Pella is No. 4 in 3A and Pella Christian is No. 10 in 2A. Newton returns to its home court on Sept. 12, taking on LHC foe Grinnell. That night the Cardinals honor their history with the reunion of the first NHS volleyball team. It is the 30th year of Newton Cardinal volleyball.

PCM earns football forfeit from Montezuma

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Prairie City-Monroe football coach Greg Bonnett was notified Thursday morning that his Mustang team would not be taking the field for their home opener against Montezuma on Friday night.

Instead, the Braves have forfeited the game to PCM, siting too many injuries as the primary reason.

Success is not just measured in wins and losses. With a loss comes lessons, what we choose to do with those lessons allows us to gauge the measure of our success in athletic competitions and in life.

My life just got better. I’m giddy — it’s football season and college football has begun in earnest. I’ll be following my Kansas State Wildcats from here in Iowa. We have College Hall of Fame head coach Bill Snyder back on the sidelines. We had a scare this off-season as Coach Snyder battled throat cancer, but as is his style — he’s back full force.

Of course, everyone here in Newton is excited for the Iowa debut of former Newton High Cardinal standout Nick Easley. After two years of junior college football, Easley followed his brother Matt into playing Division I college football. Matt Easley was a placekicker for the University of Northern Iowa, graduating in 2017.

The forfeit gives the Mustangs their first win without playing a game. Both teams are now 1-1.

Newton High’s football team takes the field for Week 2 Friday at Memorial Stadium in Waterloo. The Cardinals take on a Waterloo East Trojan team which just broke a 37-game losing streak. The Trojans are young with several strong seniors leading the way and they will be working with great emotion.

The Cardinals, as head coach Ed Ergenbright said, have to take care of business from the opening kickoff.

They need to utilize all three phases of the game — offense, defense and special teams — to establish control.

Newton needs to guage its measure quickly Friday night.

Kepler’s HBP in 9th, Twins top White Sox MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Max Kepler took one for the team — and wound up with a hop-off winner for the Minnesota Twins.

Kepler was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning, and the Twins rallied to beat the Chicago White Sox 5-4 Thursday for their fourth straight victory.

Trailing 4-3 entering their final at-bat at Target Field, the Twins came back and held their slim lead for the second AL wild-card spot. They completed a three-game sweep with their first game-ending HBP since current Minnesota manager Paul Molitor was plunked in the 10th at the Metrodome in 1996 to beat Kansas City.

“A win’s a win. It’s a good way to finish a good month for us,” Molitor said.

And nope, Molitor said he didn’t remember that game from 21 years ago.

Finishing with a major league-leading 20 wins in August, Minnesota won 20 games in a month for the 10th time in team history and second time in 25 seasons.

The Twins went 20-7 in May 2015.

Pinch-hitter Ehire Adrianza opened the ninth with a single to right off closer Juan Minaya (2-2). After a oneout walk, Eddie Rosario hit a tying single.

Joe Mauer then walked to load the bases and Jorge Polanco lined back to Minaya.

With the crowd on its feet, Minaya’s first pitch hit Kepler in the shin for the winning run.

Knocked to the ground, Kepler got up quickly and trotted to first.

“They come in all shapes and forms, but a walk-off ’s a walk-off,” Kepler said.

Closer Matt Belisle (1-2) got the win despite giving up the go-ahead run in the top of the ninth.

Wilson’s monster effort included 22 digs, 18 digs and 11 aces, while Earles added 32 assists and 15 digs.

“Ries was as advertised tonight,” Colfax-Mingo coach Michelle Grant said. “Megan did a great job of distributing the ball.”

The Tigerhawks rallied in the first set to win by two.

North Mahaska led 17-10 and then 21-16 before Colfax-Mingo scored nine of the next 11 points to go up in the match.

Colfax-Mingo dominated set two to go up 2-0.

After North Mahaska got on the board with a third-set win, the Warhawks led 11-9 in the third set before the Tiger-

hawks rallied again.

Junior Mac Brown finished with seven kills and 10 digs, junior Colbee Cunningham had eight kills and junior Chelsea Russell added 20 digs.

Freshman Kira Warrick collected 13 digs and freshman Chelsey Temple had two kills and two blocks.

McConeghey, Fitch lead Colfax-Mingo harriers at Wildwood Invitational

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News OTTUMWA — For the second straight meet, Colfax-Mingo junior Cauy Fitch and sophomore Abbey McConeghey led the Tigerhawk harriers.

This time, Fitch was eighth in the boys’ race and McConeghey placed ninth in the girls 5K at the Wildwood Invitational hosted by Pekin High School.

McConeghey’s finish helped the Tigerhawk girls placed fifth out of 10 teams. Colfax-Mingo’s girls were better than three South Iowa Cedar League rivals on the night. The Tigerhawks scored 163 points.

North Mahaska (213) was ninth, Sigourney (267) placed 10th and English Valleys didn’t have a full roster.

No. 2 Ohio State pulls away to beat Indiana BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — J.K. Dobbins broke Ohio State’s freshman record by rushing for 181 yards in his college debut, J.T. Barrett threw three touchdown passes and the second-ranked Buckeyes pulled away to beat Indiana 49-21 on Thursday night.

The Buckeyes have won 23 straight over the Hoosiers.

Indiana had big plans for what was billed as the biggest opener in school history — a prime time, nationally televised game that included the first trip by ESPN’s “College GameDay” to Bloomington.

Instead, Dobbins stole the show.

With Mike Weber, Ohio State’s top runner in 2016, out with a hamstring injury, Dobbins stepped in and surpassed Maurice Clarett’s previous debut record of 175 yards set in 2002 against Texas Tech.

Barrett overcame a slow start to finish 20-of-35 for 304 yards.

Barrett added 61 yards rushing and another score to move within two touchdowns of matching Drew Brees’ Big Ten career record for total touchdowns of 106.

But the Buckeyes weren’t themselves early.

Astrograph

The moon in powerful Capricorn confronts Jupiter in the sign of relationships. Mental chains can be worse than real chains, because you don’t realize you’re wearing them. Once you notice you’re following a mental pattern, you can break it. Often it’s in the very moment when you think there’s nothing you can do that a new option opens up.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.

1). The love coming into your life will grow and grow. You’ll sail the uncharted territory and make your own map in October. In November, choices that seem monumental are actually as silly as worrying about choosing which side of

Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 33, 27 and 17.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Many situations are ambiguous. It’s the way we interpret them that gives them context and meaning. To take a neutral situation and turn it into something negative is to needlessly drain a little joy from your life.

Contraction is the natural reaction to the cold or hardness of either external or internal circumstances -- a narrowing of focus and life. Now what will you do to counter it?

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You know a lot on the subject at hand and will be asked for your opinion. You’ll be slow to weigh in, though, ever aware that there are always new insights. Peers will respect your humility.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The human fight-or-flight response only works with outside stimuli. No human can run fast enough to get away from his or her inner life. Fighting with it is futile, too. An accepting, gentle conversation will do much good, though.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Nothing is interesting until someone is interested in it.

When you pay attention and hook into what fascinates you, you’ll make the subject more appealing to others. Your curiosity is, in essence, a public service.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Relax. Let the stressful thoughts float by without grabbing hold of them. There’s a lot running through your head that you can safely dismiss, if only because you’ve already thought it before. What’s new and important will stand out.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). People show appreciation in the way they know how. Often, it’s not in the timeliest or politest way, but we’re not all coming from the same teaching

in that regard. Let it go and accept kindness however it comes.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

They’re seeking the same thing that you are: love, peace and connection. Of course, a fair exchange of goods, services and money would be nice, too.

You just might get it all.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

When you get a whiff of something that reminds you of the past, this can trigger an incommensurable emotional response in you that’s not an accurate representation of what’s actually going on.

Federer edges Youzhny in 5 sets at US Open; Nadal needs 4 NEW YORK (AP) — A bad back prevented Roger Federer from getting ready for the U.S. Open the way he prefers to prepare for a Grand Slam tournament. And it’s showed so far.

Federer blamed a lack of proper practice after making an uncharacteristic 68 unforced errors and being forced to go five sets again before coming back to edge a cramping Mikhail Youzhny 1-6, 7-6 (3), 6-4, 4-6, 6-2 on Thursday in Arthur Ashe Stadium.

It is the first time the 36-year-old Federer has played five-setters in both the first and second rounds at a major tournament.

“I knew I was going to maybe struggle early on.

Maybe I struggled more than I would have liked to. But I’m still in the draw, which gives me a chance. I still believe I’m going to pick up my game and become just more consistent because I’m not playing all that bad,” Federer said. “It’s just that I’m going a bit up and down in waves throughout the match.”

Given that Federer entered the day with a 16-0 career record against Youzhny and a 16-0 mark in the U.S. Open’s second round, one might have thought that their match would be a mismatch.

Think again.

“He’s also a real man who plays tennis,” Youzhny noted.

“He’s not a god.”

Well, OK, that’s true. But remember: Federer did not drop a single set en route to his record eighth Wimbledon championship in July. And that he is 37-3 with five titles, including two at majors to raise his record total to 19.

Second on that list, with 15, is No. 1-seeded Rafael Nadal, who trailed by a set and a break before figuring things out and beating 121st-ranked Taro Daniel of Japan 4-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-2 in Ashe at night. That followed 20th-seeded American CoCo Vandeweghe’s 7-6 (6), 6-2 victory over Ons Jabeur of Tunisia under the lights.

va was upset by 116th-ranked Kurumi Nara of Japan 6-3, 3-6, 6-3. The No. 8-seeded Kuznetsova’s exit means five of the top eight women are already gone.

Two other seeded women lost to Americans in the afternoon: Shelby Rogers edged No. 25 Daria Gavrilova 7-6 (6), 4-6, 7-6 (5) in a tournament-record 3 hours, 33 minutes, and Jennifer Brady eliminated No. 23 Barbora Strycova 6-1, 6-1.

A couple of seeded men departed, too: No. 7 Grigor Dimitrov and No. 15 Tomas

Berdych, the 2010 Wimbledon runner-up.

The No. 3-seeded Federer won five consecutive U.S. Open championships from 2004-08 and also was the runner-up twice, including two years ago. But he missed last year’s tournament while taking off the second half of the season to let his back and surgically repaired left knee fully heal.

That back, an off-andon issue for years, flared up again while Federer was losing in the final of the Montreal Masters in August. He

Josh Allen,Wyoming visit Iowa in opener IOWA CITY (AP) — Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen might end up being the first overall pick in the 2018 NFL draft. A strong performance against one of his toughest opponents could help solidify his draft status.

Allen and the Cowboys (8-6 in 2016) travel to face Iowa on Saturday, their only road game against a Power Five opponent (though they do get Oregon at home Sept. 16).

The Hawkeyes aren’t just any Big Ten defense, either. They bring back a host of starters from last year’s unit, which ranked 13th nationally in scoring defense (18.8 points allowed per game) and held Michigan and Nebraska to just 23 combined points in home wins to close out 2016.

But the 6-foot-5 Allen is a darling of the mock drafts for a reason, and Iowa will be without suspended cornerback Manny Rugamba.

“He can throw the ball down the middle, he can throw it outside really well, he can pull it down and run,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said of Allen. “If you’re not on top of your game with the rush ... you’re going to get hurt. And then if you’re not covering guys tightly, you’re going to get hurt there, too.”

The Hawkeyes will have a brand new face at quarterback, as Ferentz named sophomore Nate Stanley as his starter on Monday.

Here are some things to consider as the Cowboys and Hawkeyes prepare to kick off 2017:

Butler and Wadley Iowa is the only team in the country with two 1,000-yard rushers from 2016 back for this season — although only one of them was with the Hawkeyes last season. James Butler, who ran for over 1,300 yards in 2016 for Nevada , joined Iowa as a graduate transfer.

He, fellow senior Akrum Wadley and a deep and experienced offensive line should help give the Hawkeyes one of the nation’s better running attacks. The hope is that Wadley and Butler can help Stanley ease into his new role. “It would certainly help us if we can do that. But then every opponent we play knows that, too,” Ferentz said.

The Pokes The Cowboys were just 101st nationally in scoring defense in 2016 after allowing 34.1 points a game. But eight starters return on that side of the ball, led by junior strong safety Andrew Wingard. He was voted the Mountain West’s preseason defensive player of the year.

“We really believe we’ll be much improved on defense,” Wyoming coach Craig Bohl said.

Iowa D Rugamba, whose late interception helped Iowa upset Michigan last fall, is expected to play a key role at some point for the Hawkeyes after they lost Desmond King and Greg Mabin to the NFL. Sophomore Michael Ojemudia will start at cornerback with Rugamba out, along with junior corner Josh Jackson and safeties Jake Gervase and Miles Taylor.

didn’t get to fully work on returns or serves, in particular, as the U.S. Open approached.

That lack of training and the resulting lack of timing — rather than pain from his back — is what Federer said caused him problems Tuesday night in the first round against 19-year-old American Frances Tiafoe and again against Youzhny, a former top-10 player who reached the 2006 and 2010 U.S. Open semifinals but is now ranked 101st.

“I’m pretty confident that I’m only going to get bet-

ter from here. That’s a good thing,” Federer said. “Because I’ve played a lot, I definitely found some rhythm now.”

He did falter repeatedly Thursday, though.

Federer let a lead slip away in the second set and got broken while serving for it at 5-4.

“He helped me to come back,” Youzhny said.

Federer stumbled again while serving for the fourth set at 5-3, but responded to a break there by breaking right back.

Still, Federer’s unforced errors continued to mount in the fifth set — 11 in the first four games alone, including a badly shanked forehand on his first break point at 2-1, a netted backhand on his second, and a long forehand to let Youzhny hold there. Eventually, Federer nosed ahead, aided by the considerable dip in the 35-year-old Youzhny’s level of play.

While Federer played his first-round match Tuesday under the roof in Ashe, Youzhny’s opener was postponed until Wednesday because of rain, and he blamed that for his fatigue. His legs started cramping late in the third set Thursday and then reached other parts of his body, even his fingers, by the end. That made it hard to move forward or to jump normally while serving.

At 1-all in the deciding set, Youzhny collapsed to the court, grabbing at his right leg after whiffing on an attempted swat at Federer’s lob. Youzhny stayed down for a few moments, then grimaced and limped around for the rest of that game.

Afterward, Youzhny chuckled at the mention of having lost all 17 matches against Federer, even leaning back in his chair and joking about how he would have completed the upset if Grand Slam rules were different: “I beat him in three sets now — but we played five sets. But come on, if we played three sets, I already beat him!”

Federer, naturally, preferred to look at matters from a different perspective.

“I find my way,” he said. “I don’t panic.”

Iowa State seeking better results against UNI in 2017 AMES (AP) — Losing to Northern Iowa in last year’s opener wasn’t acceptable for Iowa State.

Falling to the FCS Panthers yet again on Saturday would be a disaster for the Cyclones.

Iowa State (3-9 in 2016) and new coach Matt Campbell were still trying to figure each other out when Northern Iowa beat the Cyclones 2520 . Iowa State rallied to win two of its final three games last season.

A talented set of skill positions players, combined with some intriguing new pieces on defense, have many in Ames thinking about a bowl bid.

But Northern Iowa is long past the days when simply setting foot inside a Big 12 stadium signaled defeat. The Panthers are 3-7 against the Cyclones in Ames under coach Mark Farley.

“We were soul searching early in the (2016) season,” Campbell said. The fact of the matter is that they beat us. Their kids played really well that night.”

Park’s Progression The opener will be Iowa State junior quarterback Jacob Park’s first chance to show what he can do after a full offseason in the program. After stints at Georgia and a community college, Park won the job last fall despite not arriving on campus until late last summer. Park completed 58.8 percent of his passes in 2016 and threw for at least two touchdowns five times.

About The Panthers Northern Iowa is typically a strong bet to make the FCS playoffs. But beating Iowa State proved to be the highlight of last season for the Panthers,

who slipped to 5-6 and posted just their third losing season in 16 years under Farley. Northern Iowa is expected to bounce back this fall though. The Panthers have 17 starters returning, led by quarterback Eli Dunne, and are 18th in the preseason poll.

“There’s going to adversity, challenges and excitement. It’s going to be a four-quarter football game, so it’ll be a battle. It should be fun,” coach Mark Farley said.

Seven More For Lazard Iowa State senior wide receiver Allen Lazard needs just seven receptions to pass Todd Blythe (176) as the school’s all-time leading receiver.

Lazard averaged seven catches a game over his last five in 2016 and led the Big 12 with 54 receptions that resulted in either a first down or a touchdown.

Oh Baby!

One of Northern Iowa’s top threats on offense is sophomore Jalen Rima — the grandson of UNI play-by-play man Gary Rima. Jalen scored four touchdowns last season, including two in the return game, to earn a spot on the All-MVFC Newcomer team.

But he’ll need to do a lot more than in 2017 to match the popularity of his grandfather, whose enthusiastic calls during Northern Iowa men’s basketball games have made him a fan favorite in Cedar Falls.

Extra Points Saturday will mark the debut of freshman tight end Chase Allen, one of the most highly-touted prospects at that position in recent memory for Iowa State.
