Family receives support at memorial bull riding event

By Anthony Victor Reyes Newton Daily News

Anthony Victor Reyes/Daily News “The Soul Machine” Norman Jackson and his son on saxophone, Rick Shortt, jam out on stage Sunday for the 25th annual Bowlful of Blues at the Fred Maytag Bowl. Sunday’s all-day concert attracted hundreds of blues-lovers to Maytag Park.

Hundreds boogie at Maytag Park for 25th annual Bowlful of Blues

COLFAX — Saturday afternoon, 10-yearold Tate Carlson sat on one of the gate panels of the bull riding arena at the Jasper County Fairgrounds.

Donning his brother’s cross necklace and one of his cowboy hats, the young horse rider gazed into the bull riding arena — remembering the countless memories of when his older brother, Ty Carlson would saddle up and conquer a bucking bull, living life eight seconds at a time.

“I loved watching Ty ... It was pretty amazing (to see him ride a bull).

It’s sad when he breaks bones. I really can’t describe it, but it was amazing,” Tate said. “Oh heck, I loved to ride with him ... (He taught me to) hold on tight, keep your hand in the air, keep your head down.”

Hundreds of people remembered the 19-year-old Saturday at his memorial bull riding competition at the Jasper County Fairgrounds in Colfax.

From the overfilled stands to the overwhelming amount of sponsors and bull riders who wanted to be a part of the memorial, the event organizers said RODEO | 3A

By Anthony Victor Reyes Newton Daily News From tales of ex-lovers to stories about a hard days work, many argue that blues is the most raw form of music in history.

Some say it’s their raison d’etre. Others just like the smooth sound of the style.

But many musicians and music-lovers alike know that blues ain’t just about the blues — it’s about so much more.

“The blues is just good music,” longtime blues lover, Jo Nichols said. “We couldn’t get any reception on a rental car. So we stopped at a truck stop and got the only blues cassette they had — Saffire — The Uppity Blues Women. That got us across the desert. We knew all the words by the time we got across.”

Sunday, hundreds of people filled the Fred Maytag Bowl at Maytag Park to rock out to some smooth jams, enjoy good food and share their love for the blues

“I think the fact that we had great weather, and it being the 25th year just naturally converged to make this one probably one of the largest crowds that we have had,” South Skunk Blues

Society president and event organizer Elaine Mattingly said. “A lot of people very worked hard through 25 years to keep the message out there that this is a destination festival.”

On this date: In 1774, the first Continental Congress assembled in Philadelphia.

In 1836, Sam Houston was elected president of the Republic of Texas.

In 1882, the nation’s first Labor Day was celebrated with a parade in New York.

Ten years ago: German officials announced that three militants from an Islamic group linked to al-Qaida were planning “imminent” bomb attacks against Americans in Germany when an elite anti-terrorist unit raided their small-town hideout.

Five years ago: In an impassioned speech that rocked the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, former President Bill Clinton proclaimed, “I know we’re coming back” from the worst economic mess in generations, and he appealed to hard-pressed Americans to stick with Barack Obama for a second term in the White House; in a roll call that lasted past midnight, Obama was officially nominated.

One year ago: Chinese President Xi Jinping announced the close of the G-20 summit in the eastern city of Hangzhou, saying it had contributed to encouraging new progress in boosting global growth.

Local & State News Rodeo Continued from Page 1A one thing was certain — Ty Carlson was deeply loved by everyone who had the privilege of knowing of him.

“I have been blown away by the support, the back-up, everything,” Dalton Breckenridge, who organized the dedication, said. “I am truly still amazed at the amount of people who wanted to sponsor the event, who wanted to volunteer at the event, the donations at the event, the backing from the whole community, and Ty’s Friends and Family showing love. It brings tears to my eyes.”

Hours after winning the Maxwell Old Settlers Rodeo bull riding competition Aug. 5, Ty Carlson was killed in a single-vehicle accident after he allegedly lost control of his pickup truck near the 600 block of Forest Street South in Colfax.

After hearing the tragic news of his death, several people who knew the Colfax-Mingo graduate quickly tried to find a way to show his family how much he meant to them.

Only a few hours after the accident, the community rallied together to create the ultimate tribute to the teen bull rider by setting up a bull riding competition in his hometown in his name.

According to his family, Ty loved the bucking sport ever since he was a 3 years old. After being thrown off his first sheep at a mutton bustin’ in Oklahoma, his family said Ty dedicated himself to being the best bull rider he could be, spending countless hours perfecting his form and fine-tuning his craft.

“It was just me and Ty. He was scared the first time. He

The first goal of the school district is to meet this proficiency level. This requires us to measure progress,

got his nerves, but it was something he wanted to do. After he got on it, he couldn’t get off of it,” Ty’s father, Todd Carlson said. “(His last competition) was a perfect day. He did what he loved to do. He rode the best he rode in a long time. That day was a perfect day for a father and son.”

To share the passion for the sport he loved, it was only natural that a bull riding competition would be held in his honor.

With only a month of planning, Breckenridge and the community worked together to make a true tribute that would reflect the impact Ty had on the rodeo and Colfax community.

“It takes us about a year of planning to get our (Jasper County Fair Round-up) Rodeo planned. For Dalton to get it done in less than a month is incredible,” Jasper County Fair Committee member Alan Guy said. “We are more than just about what we already strive to do. It was our chance to give back a member of the community, in some shape or form. Without something like this, I don’t know what we would have been to do with this amount of impact or response.”

The festivities kicked off with Ty’s father, Todd Carlson and Ty’s uncle, Ron Hamell leading Ty’s horse, Doc around the arena. With Ty’s hat on his saddle, the people in the stands stood up and cheered as the gray horse passed.

The event was filled with tributes to the 19-year-old bull rider. From a lit-up performance to his favorite song, Chris LeDoux’s “Hooked On an 8 Second Ride” by the Red Rock Riders Equestrian Drill Team to the bull Ty won his last competition on participat-

ing in the dedication, Ty’s family said the 19-year-old would have been happy to see the outpouring of support for him and his family.

“He is probably up there thinking, ‘Why are you doing this for me? I don’t believe this,” Ty’s mother, Kari Carlson said. “He never looked for attention. He did what he did, and he loved it.”

According to Breckenridge, a majority of the 32 bull riders who competed Saturday had some personal connection to Ty. Many of the riders said they decided to go into the arena Saturday to remember the Central Iowa student and do what he loved to do.

“Every moment I was around him, it was great. You could be down from getting bucked off a bull or something, and somehow he put a smile on your face and make you happy.

Things he say, things he do, he would find a way to lighten the mood,” Ty’s friend and fellow bull rider Gatlin Rodriguez

said. “I rode for him, and took it one jump at a time. We were all out here riding in Ty’s memory.”

Breckenridge said shortly after receiving their prizes, the three winners of the competition approached the family and gave them their winnings. With a $50 entry fee and $1,000 added to the pot, the top-three winners were Dalton Krantz, Bubba Greig and Malachi Schroeder, respectively.

“Those guys came not for the money. They came because they knew Ty somehow. He touched them,” the event organizer said. “I decided that I was going to have 30 guys in the show. I had almost 50 guys who wanted in. I had to turn down, almost 20 people.”

With 100 percent of the proceeds going to the family, several members of the community did whatever they could to make the event possible. Breckenridge said the 40 bucking bulls used in the dedication were donated —

share best practices across the school district, learn from other school districts in the area in the most effective way to reach out to every student. We should ask questions as to why some of our schools are able to meet this goal and others are struggling. I believe there is no cookie cutter approach. I understand PLCs are working at all the schools to develop specific approaches to how to meet this goal for their specific school and grade level. We need to leverage the ideas that

have the greatest impact to the other schools.

What is one thing Newton is doing right? Teachers and staff I talk to have great heart and will do anything to help our kids succeed.

What’s one area Newton needs improvement in? I think we can improve in how we communicate to staff as well as the community. I think the basis of this should be a well-communicated multi-year plan.

What’s your vision for the

future of Newton schools? I envision Newton schools becoming the pride of our town.

My vision is that people want to move to Newton because of the reputation of having the best school system in the area.

With state revenue shrinking, Iowa’s public education funding levels are likely to remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. What do you see as Newton’s primary funding priorities in the coming years?

I think it would be naive of

It is vitally important that we do what we can to keep great teachers here in Newton as well as attract great teachers from the surrounding areas. It will become increasingly important for us to get rid of any waste in our spending habits to make sure we are investing in teachers.

which is said to be a $2,000 to $4,000 expense, and more than 35 organizations from Colfax businesses to rodeo organizers sponsored the dedication.

From Ty’s graduating class at Colfax-Mingo to family members traveling long distances to be at the dedication, many people in the stands could be heard sharing memories of Ty throughout the evening. From stories about his wrestling days at Colfax-Mingo to testaments of his hard work and dedication, it was clear that Ty Carlson will be missed.

“I don’t have words. The community is priceless how it came together. You hear all the bad stuff that happens in the world, but then it comes together like this,” Todd Carlson said. “That is the community.

That is where the heart is. That is what it is all about ... The volume here spoke for itself.”

According to Guy, the Jasper County Fair Committee hopes to turn the Ty Carlson Memorial Bull Riding into an annual event. He said many committee members said they wanted to do this to pay tribute to the Colfax native and preserve his legacy.

“Ty loved his rodeo,” his 10-year-old brother, Tate said. “(Saturday, the bull riders) won it for Ty.” The Iowa Barrel Burners are hosting a memorial barrel race in dedication to Ty Carlson Oct. 8 at the Sonny Walker Arena in Maxwell. The proceeds of this event will also be donated to the Carlson family.

A busy birthday weekend B

irthdays are a pretty big deal in our house and over the weekend we celebrated my youngest daughter turning 5. The three-day long celebration included two parties, treats at school and a trip to Adventureland.

Festivities began with her celebration at school on Friday. Per her choice, I brought full-size cupcakes to her classroom to share along with a couple of balloons for fun. The kiddos were pretty excited for the sweet treat, and she stood proudly as everyone sang “Happy Birthday” to her while she was wearing her birthday crown.

The next day, we had two parties planned, one with friends and then another with family. For her friends

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Sept. 5, 2017

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson party, we went to the Pella indoor pool and had a Hawaiian Luau complete with leis and a grass skit.

I knew we would do a pool party because she is nothing if not a little fish but I wasn’t sure what the theme would be. Needing some inspiration, I walked into Dollar Tree and right in front of me was everything I would need for a luau. Palm trees, monkeys, flamingos, parrots and toucans decorated the party room in my best attempt to make it feel like a tropical location.

When the time finally arrived to go, my youngest was more than excited.

As her friends came in, they each got a lei and were welcomed to Hawaii. To prevent the need to pull kids out of the pool, we did the snacks and presents first and then set the kids free to swim.

About 20 kids kicked and splashed away for more than an hour, taking turns jumping in and daring to see how far they could swim, all with floaties on. Our inflatable animals friends even made it into the pool for a swim.

Luckily, the kids all decided to get out on their own, and we didn’t have any tears when it was time to go. They all seemed to have a ton of fun, especially the birthday girl.

That evening we had our families over to celebrate during party number two. I decided to go with a pasta bar for dinner, which was a hit, and my youngest had fun with her cousins playing on the trampoline and with all of the new toys she received.

On Sunday, which was her actual birthday, we took a family trip to Adventureland. I bought tickets in May but hadn’t found the right day to go until we were coming up on the park closing my tickets were about to be no good. When I realized that her

birthday would be free, it seemed like the perfect plan.

We got lucky the weather warmed up enough to enjoy the insanity packed pool. The girls went down water slides, swam in the lazy river and about gave me a heart attack in the wave pool.

When we had enough pool time, we went for a bite to eat before heading to the rides. On about every ride my youngest daughter announced she was the birthday girl and received happy birthday wishes all day long.

After a couple of hours, enough rides and prizes to take home from the games, we were all ready to go home. While the girls didn’t fall asleep on the way, they were both exhausted from the busy weekend.

My baby is now a 5-year-old “lady,” as she likes to say, and I can’t wait to see what the next year will bring for her.

Abandoning Houston We ought to just let the grass take Houston, the grass and the bayous. Same thing with New Orleans, a city that was born on life support. It’s a big country.

Those people can find somewhere else to live. Maybe they can refugee up to Canada. We could give every Houstonian $100,000 to make a new start.

The poor and the meth addicts will take it, and the rich people have money in stocks. The middle class would be badly hurt, but it’s $100,000, and there are office jobs everywhere.

Trump could go down there every week, and make a speech to the ‘gators promising to make things better. The ‘gators are Trump’s kind of people, all reptile brain and big teeth, and hungry a lot of the time.

The reporters would still have to follow Trump down there every week, to count the ‘gators who came to listen, so Trump couldn’t say there were 40,000 ‘gators in the crowd, when there were really only 20. Eventually, Trump would start feeding the reporters to the ‘gators, which would guarantee a bigger crowd next time. Based on the way things are going in journalism right now, reporters would take the risk for $43,000 a year and some bad health insurance It’d be a swamp no one could ever drain, and Trump could spend all his time writing speeches for the ‘gators while a military junta ran the government. The generals would send soldiers down there with Trump, and they would shoot a few of the ‘gators. The ‘gator skins could be made into stiletto heels for Melania.

It’s the circle of life.

Back in the old days, back before even Jesus, our ancestors used to carve their god out of a rock, and they hacked big cities out of the jungle where they could enjoy life among poisonous spiders and the kind of humidity that makes your toenails rot.

After a couple hundred years of human sacrifices and trying to play basketball with a round stone, something bad would happen where our ancestors lived. They’d have a plague or a famine, there would be a climate shift, or they’d lose a war, and there would be bodies in the streets and the whole city would stink.

So, they’d leave. They’d pack up their loincloths and a few baskets of grain, and they’d take the family dog in case they wanted to eat him later, and they’d go away. The jungle would creep in over their cornfields, the stone god would grin at the empty temple, their huts would fall in, and the place would be a grassy hump in about five years.

People aren’t like that anymore. Nowadays, if we build a city in a place that wasn’t meant to hold a city, a place that is opposed to a city, and earthquakes or flood level the city, we rebuild. People used to believe in a stone god. Now we believe that if there’s a Burger King on the corner of Fifth Street and Deluge Avenue, it must always be so, for the Burger King has spoken, just as the old stone god used to speak to the priests.

When times got hard, our ancestors always left the stone god behind. After all, he’d proven he wasn’t any good in the face of a natural disaster, so why not just leave him in his empty temple? But the Burger King shall always be with us, and we shall rebuild.

AMENDMENT

YOUR VIEW

Motivated to reprsent DMACC My name is Joe Pugel. I am running for re-election to the Des Moines Area Community College Board of Trustees. Thanks to your support, I have served in that role since 1997, and with the confidence of our full board, I have served as board president since 2003. I am as motivated and excited to represent you and DMACC today as I was the first day of my first term because of the many opportunities that lie ahead for current and future DMACC students, as well as the employers and citizens of our state DMACC graduates build our homes, fix our cars, care for us and protect us. Given the cost of college and student debt, I am committed to keeping tuition affordable. I’m proud to say that DMACC has the lowest tuition and fees of any community college in Iowa. With our concurrent enrollment agreements with

our area high schools, we have saved students millions of dollars in tuition attaining college credit while still in high school.

Last year alone, Newton students earned 2,821 DMACC credits saving families $415,000.

Given my passion for education and concern for affordable education for traditional students, I’m extremely motivated to help those nontraditional students who have been displaced from their jobs and those single-family parents trying to balance their time raising a family and having to work various jobs, who desperately need training or retraining to develop their skills for meaningful employment.

Some milestones during my time as board president: • Increased enrollment by 62 percent to 35,488 credit and noncredit students.

• Lowest tuition and fees of any Iowa college or university.

• Lowest levy assessment and highest bond rating of any Iowa community college.

• Most Iowa students of any college or university in the state, with 95 percent of our graduates remaining in Iowa.

• Created career academies in Newton, Ames, Perry, Pella, Waukee and Southridge for all area public schools.

• Instituted seamless articulation for DMACC students transferring to fouryear colleges or universities in Iowa.

There are many more examples of the important role DMACC plays in educating our students, serving our businesses and communities and supporting economic development in the state.

Let me assure you that DMACC is a well-managed institution. Our goal is to invest your money wisely and focus on providing outstanding education. On Sept. 12, please vote for me to continue to be your DMACC representative.

Thanks for your support.

Nature’s Notebook — an opportunity for volunteers to participate Observing nature is fun. It can also serve a greater purpose. Nature’s Notebook is a national, online program where amateur and professional naturalists regularly record observations of plants and animals to generate long-term data sets used for scientific discovery and decision-making.

Phenology is the timing of seasonal changes in plants and animals each year. Life-cycle events such as flowering, emergence of insects, and migration of birds are related to weather and climate as well as day length. Observations of phenology made over many years help scientists, land managers and decision makers by providing valuable information.

Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge is participating in Nature’s Notebook and is looking for volunteers. An information session will be from noon to 3 p.m. Saturday, with a potluck and discussion about the program and what you can do to help. Requirements to participate in Nature’s Notebook are the ability to learn to identify a few species of plants and animals (training will be provided before next spring), to visit the refuge several times during the year to make observations and to

Young woman falls for new man during boyfriend’s deployment DEAR ABBY: I met my boyfriend, “Matt,” when I was a sophomore in high school. We started dating when I was a senior. By then, he was already active-duty military.

We weren’t serious at the time (his decision, not mine). We’ve always had a long-distance relationship.

During his first deployment, Matt broke up with me. He told me he didn’t want to see me again when he came home, although I begged him to change his mind.

When he came home last year, he felt differently, and we’ve been together since then. Abby, he once told me after he’d been drinking that “he didn’t think we were soul mates” and that “it wouldn’t be him sitting next to me when we’re 80.”

He is, however, very reliable and caring. My family loves him and he has a solid life plan.

Matt is now on his second deployment, and we don’t get to talk more than about once a month. I recently met another guy at college, and I have fallen completely in love with him. We get along easily and he makes me laugh. I have never felt this way about any other guy before, but I also haven’t known him very long.

I worked hard to be with Matt, and we have been through a lot together. I won’t see him in person for at least six more months. I don’t know what to do. Advice? — CONFLICTED IN THE EAST DEAR CONFLICTED: Punt!

Real life is more than a bundle of laughs. Do not break up with Matt and do not commit to this new man until Matt is again stateside and sober. Only then will you be in a position to make an informed decision about a future with either one of them.

DEAR ABBY: I had a rough

time during my teenage and young adult years. One of the ways I dealt with it was by cutting myself. It became more severe over the years, and both my arms are covered with very noticeable scars.

Life is much better now, and my wife and I are expecting our first child. I have been trying to decide how I’m going to explain the scars to my child when he or she is older.

I realize this will likely be a series of age-appropriate conversations.

I don’t want my child to follow in my footsteps, and I’m afraid to rationalize my behavior. How do I explain them? — BETTER NOW IN MASSACHUSETTS DEAR BETTER NOW: I agree that you should answer your child’s questions in an age-appropriate way if you are asked. When your child is little, he or she may be satisfied if you simply say, “Daddy hurt himself.” When he or she is older, add more detail as necessary.

Because a tendency toward depression can run in some families, it’s important to make a special effort to keep the lines of communication open when it comes to “feelings.” If you are unsure how to handle this, consult your child’s pediatrician for guidance.

Woman accused of arson in house fire MASON CITY — A Mason City woman has been accused of setting fire to a house in the northern Iowa city.

Firefighters extinguished the blaze, which was reported around 1:50 p.m. Saturday. No injuries have been reported.

Police say witnesses provided the name of a suspect, and she was arrested and jailed later in the day. Police say 29-year-old Donyale Jones is charged with arson. Cerro Gordo County Jail records said Jones remained in custody Monday, pending $10,000 bail.

Man charged with duping homeowner out of $366K IOWA CITY — A 51-year-old man has been accused of duping a homeowner out of more than $366,000 for unfinished and shoddy repairs. Authorities said Scott Geary, of Clinton, is charged with theft.

A criminal complaint says Geary and another person trimmed trees for the elderly homeowner and then offered to perform needed repairs and finish the house’s basement. Authorities say the two never took out building permits and the work they did didn’t meet code.

FORT DODGE — Authorities say a man has died after being shot in Fort Dodge.

Police say officers responding to several calls found the man lying in a roadway around 3:30 a.m. Sunday. He was pronounced dead later at Trinity Regional Medical Center. Police have identified him as 32-year-old Shane Wessels, who lived in Fort Dodge. State detectives have joined Fort Dodge officers in investigating reports that there had been some sort of altercation in the street before the shooting.

5 Test at woman’s sentencing showed she was drunk

WEST DES MOINES — A former West Des Moines preschool employee convicted for showing up to work drunk is back behind bars after officials say she showed up drunk to her sentencing. Angela Hircock, 43, was initially charged with child endangerment and public intoxication after police were called to the preschool in March. At the time, a breath test showed her blood alcohol content at .37 percent.

Reynolds faces Apple criticism from both parties DES MOINES (AP) — When Apple announced recently it planned to build two data centers in Iowa, Gov. Kim Reynolds saw it as a clear win.

Against the backdrop of the state Capitol, the new Republican governor touted the deal as one that will create jobs, spur economic growth and elevate Iowa’s status. Yet the project carries $208 million in state and local tax breaks, a high cost at a time when Iowa is facing a budget crunch and a figure that drew criticism from Democrats and even some Republicans as next year’s race for governor looms.

Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett, Reynolds’ main challenger in the Republican Party’s primary, said he supports companies like Apple investing in Iowa, but he felt the 50 permanent jobs attached to the project was too low. He also noted the deal followed recent budget cuts that have forced reduced services and higher college tuition.

“With all these other issues going on, it begs the question, ‘Well if the state can’t afford to support the u n ive rs it i e s , support the Reynolds community colleges, support the health system, how can it possibly embark on this path?’” he said.

Fred Hubbell, a businessman and philanthropist who’s seeking the Democratic nomination for governor along with six others, blasted the plan as a “better deal for Apple than it is for Iowa’s taxpayers.” State Sen. Nate Boulton, another Democratic gubernatorial hopeful, criticized Reynolds for “handing out excessive corporate tax credits to the detriment of other essential Iowa services and a sound budget.”

The Republican Governors Association later defended

John Deere facility adds 250 jobs DUBUQUE (AP) — Equipment manufacturer John Deere has hired about 250 workers in Dubuque since last fall thanks to surging demand for new products.

The John Deere Dubuque Works facility now employs 1,300 production workers, its highest total since 2000.

There are another 1,300 employees at the plant who work in other capacities such as engineering, sales and marketing.

General Manager Mark Dickson said he predicts adding another 50 workers by October.

Dickson said the in-

creasing orders and additional hires have boosted morale at the facility.

“There are new jobs and new opportunities, and we are making things we haven’t made before,” Dickson said. “I think that creates a great atmosphere and makes the people here upbeat and excited.”

The facility has also invested in equipment, such as large machining centers and robotic-welding systems, Dickson said.

The company has added four new products to its Production-Class Dozer line this year.

Reynolds, saying the governor was “securing unprecedented investment and expanding opportunity across the state.”

But even some within the GOP have acknowledged skepticism. Rep. Pat Grassley, head of a key legislative budget committee, tweeted “Not convinced today’s announced incentives of $400k per job is good value for Iowa taxpayers.”

Later, he tweeted out blame to legislative Democrats, claiming they didn’t support efforts last session to reform how Iowa distributes tax credits. Republicans hold large majorities in both chambers.

States for decades have used tax incentives to lure companies that promise jobs and investments, but the practice has recently become more complicated as Iowa and other states grapple with budget constraints and studies raise doubts about the long-term benefits of such commitments.

In Wisconsin, lawmakers

are completing a $3 billion tax incentive package for Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn that is contingent upon the company investing $10 billion and hiring 13,000 workers at a new factory in the state. The package has garnered bipartisan support, but some lawmakers have raised concerns, pointing to a nonpartisan analysis that it would take at least 25 years for taxpayers to break even on the incentives.

In 2014, Nevada state officials were criticized for approving $1.3 billion in state tax incentives for Tesla Motors to build a $5 billion factory based on projections that it’ll employ 6,500 people at full production. The deal came after a bidding war with several states.

“This is certainly something that ribbon-cutting politicians are going to keep pursuing, but there is increasing skepticism among some on the right and on the left about the long-term value of these incentives,” said

Brett Theodos, a senior research associate at the nonpartisan Urban Institute, a Washington-based think tank.

Mike Owen, executive director of the Iowa Policy Project in Iowa City, said attention on Iowa’s tax credits have grown as they eat more of the budget.

The non-partisan Legislative Services Agency estimates tax credits will cost the state nearly $430 million this budget year.

Property tax credits and economic incentives programs will be another $561 million.

Reynolds is currently weighing whether she will call a special legislative session to plug a possible shortfall in the roughly a roughly $7.2 billion state budget.

“It’s coming to a head possibly because we have budget problems,” Owen said. “But I would argue also that there is a lot of traction now on both sides of the aisle for reform of our economic development policies and specifically the issue of tax credits.”

Hy-Vee opens new technology center GRIMES (AP) — At Hy-Vee Inc.’s new Helpful Smiles Technology center in Grimes, the corporate culture is more foosball and Starbucks than suits and ties.

Opened earlier this year in a plain-looking but cavernous warehouse that faces a cornfield, the tech center is part of Hy-Vee’s vision for the future.

The space is designed to promote creativity and collaboration, said Matt Nannen, senior vice president of digital development and brand image marketing.

It is filled with work and play spaces, and other fringe benefits aimed at attracting in-demand tech workers.

The 104,000-square-foot building houses 230 information technology, digital development

and brand marketing workers with room for more.

Some of its offerings include: a Starbucks coffee shop, a walking track that wraps around the inside perimeter of the building, Xbox and PlayStation game desks, a snack area with dispensers that dole out fruit and nut mixes and other snacks, a collaboration space that is a replica of “The Big Bang Theory” television show with couches and action figures on bookshelves, conference rooms named for video games, a basketball court, exercise and yoga rooms with locker rooms. It also has billiards, foosball and ping pong tables; grocery pickup locker for online orders that are delivered daily and a permanent food truck with daily specials.

The space is full of remind-

ers of the company’s heritage.

There are old Hy-Vee signs and Hy-Vee red (Pantone 485C) touches throughout. The two snack rooms — Megabyte and Gigabyte — have cupboard pulls are recycled grocery cart handles. The company’s core values are written on a wall.

Office windows are etched in bar code style with the skylines of cities where Hy-Vee has a strong presence: Des Moines, Kansas City, Omaha and the Twin Cities.

There’s function along with whimsy. A Hy-Vee check-out lane and gas station replicas allow testing of new products and digital processes created on site. An indoor ticker display relays company messages, while a gigantic white board allows for brainstorming.

Local & State News Blues Continued from Page 1A Featuring six bands with their own unique style, the allday concert allowed patrons to enjoy all different shades of the blues. As the blues influenced a majority of today’s popular genres of music from R&B to country to rock-and-roll, the event organizers said Sunday’s concert featured a little something for everyone.

“Blues music is highly influ-

ential. We want to make sure we honor that and remember where it came from,” Mattingly said. “I wouldn’t say what you are hearing (at the concert) is pure blues. That is hard to pin down. Anyone who plays music will tell you they hate to be put in a category. The music is just so rich.”

Sunday’s concert opened with a smooth performance

by Juliana and A Soul Purpose.

The music-filled evening continued with soulful renditions from the Norman Jackson

Band, a high-energy showcase

by Dwayne Dopsie and the Zydeco Hellraisers, deep-rooted jams from Indigenous and sweet tunes performed by Rob Lumbard. The evening closed out with a bang with the rockin’ Jane Lee Hooker.

“Juliana played with some heavy hitter, Iowa blues players to kick off the festival. She carried that blues soul torch at a young 20 year old,” Mattingly said. “She lives and breaths that music, like many people who are charmed by it.”

Despite the star-studded line-up, many of the concert-goers said Sunday’s event was not just about enjoying good music.

Parents played catch with their kids. Longtime friends caught up with each other on a picnic blanket. Couples danced in front of the stage.

On the 25th year of the allday concert series, many patrons said the annual event was the perfect place to create lifelong memories.

“I liked hugging the skunk (South Skunk Blues’ mascot),” said 9-year-old blues lover, Jaedyn Lynch. “We went out there and danced, and he came out and danced with us.”

Several of the attendees said

they are excited to see what the concert series will offer next year. They said no matter what the line-up may be, they are just excited to enjoy another fullday of blues and share their love for the classic music genre with the community and future generations.

“My kids need to appreciate the real music so hopefully one day they will respect what good music really is,” Jaedyn’s mother, Amanda said. “I’m looking forward to someday, they are

going to hear a song and they are going to say they heard it at a blues festival. That will be amazing.”

NFD adding amenities to fire house

Sauna, massage chair funds donated from fire academy grad

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

When requests of a sauna and massage chairs come up for city purchases, it is not surprising that questions follow. Newton Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik explained to city council how the

amenities will be used and the generous place the funds came from to make them a reality.

“We had, this spring, our citizen fire academy,” Wellik Wellik said.

“During the academy we had one of the members come forward that they had the availability to donate some funds and wanted to know if there were any specific projects we were looking at doing. Specifically, what they said is they wanted it to be used to benefit the people of the fire

department. They preferred that we do something to take care of the people who provide services everyday.”

The donation totaled $10,000 and along with remaining funds from the Firefighter Memorial Fundraising group at $2,716 and a $1,000 donation by Mittera, the parent company of Rock Communications, the department had more than $13,700 to use toward items benefiting fire department staff. A few of the firefighters had been researching an infrared sauna, which can be used in the detoxification process after a firefighter returns from a call.

“Firefighters actually have

twice the incidents of cancer than the general public. They are attributing a lot of it to the fact that, when you go inside the fire, most of the nasty chemicals are pushed into the gear by the heat, the smoke and the steam that is produced,” Wellik said. “The sauna allows for when they come back from calls or after they have been exposed to the toxins, they can sit in there and it actually helps to sweat it out. It has been found it is a great method to getting them out.”

Also approved for purchase are two massage chairs for the department. Wellik said currently the hospitals in Des Moines are equipped with the

chairs in the EMS waiting areas and are found to be used frequently. The addition to the department will bring an added amenity for firefighters on duty.

Finally the remaining funds will be used to begin the process of remodeling the kitchen at the fire station.

The sauna is slated to cost $5,000, including installation.

The message chairs were approved for purchase from Store for Homes in Newton at $5,200 and $3,516 will go towards the kitchen remodel.

Cardinal Comeback Complete Newton overcomes mistakes to claim big road win over Waterloo East

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High seniors Jaron Roush, left, and Garrett Sturtz celebrate Roush’s touchdown run in the second quarter. Roush scored four TDs and rushed for 93 yards in Newton’s 56-26 win over host Waterloo East Friday.

WATERLOO — Twice he witnessed Waterloo East players catch passes from Trojan sophomore quarterback Dylan Reyes in the first quarter. Both pass plays went for touchdowns.

Newton High senior cornerback Grayson Graham decided it was his turn to claim a Reyes pass.

Graham intercepted a Reyes pass with 5:13 remaining in the second quarter Friday night. It was the turning point for the Cardinals on their way to a 56-26 victory.

The Cardinals spotted the Trojans a 20-6 lead by the conclusion of the first quarter. It was 26-13 at the 7:23 mark of the second period. Newton didn’t give up another point in the non-district game.

“I just wanted to redeem myself after those two drives I gave up the long touchdown plays,” Graham said. “I read it well and made the play. As a defense, we rely on each other. We just kept fighting back after falling behind 20-6.”

Graham returned the ball 24 yards to set up Newton’s go-ahead

touchdown. The Cardinals went 44 yards in six plays as Josh Miravalles scored from 1-yard out then tacked on a 2-point conversion run to give the Cardinals a 27-26 lead with 2:34 left in the first half.

Newton’s defense faced a new Trojan quarterback, another sophomore, from that point on in the game. Tanner Cronan came in to direct the East offense with senior running back Tyrell Gordon in the backfield.

According to the Waterloo Courier report on the game, Reyes went down with an apparent head injury. He was one of several Trojan players who were injured in the game.

Three plays and a short punt later, Newton had an opportunity to add to its lead before the break. A long pass play from senior quarterback Garrett Sturtz to senior Trevor Ergenbright was wiped out because of a penalty.

The Cardinals went into the locker room with a 27-26 lead at halftime.

“We learned about our heart tonight. We knew they were going to come out fired up after winning

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Aaron Bartels (26) is in pursuit of Waterloo East quarterback Dylan Reyes (5) in the first half of Friday’s game at Waterloo.

their first game in a long time,” Sturtz said. “They packed the box against us, but we were able to run whatever we wanted. We competed and kept fighting back until we got the momentum.”

Riding the wave of emotion from winning the school’s first football game since 2012, the Trojans were ready for the Cardinals.

Behind the play of Reyes, the Trojans struck quick on the third offensive play of the game.

Reyes hooked up with Damon Johnson for a 76-yard TD pass play. Newton answered with a sixplay drive capped on a 26-yard touchdown run by senior Jaron Roush, Neither team was successful on extra point attempts leaving it 6-all.

Reyes tossed a 38-yard TD pass to Jacee Clark and tacked on the two-point conversion. A Newton fumble set up a 14-yard run to the end zone by Reyes.

Again the Cardinals responded with a Roush 3-yard TD scamper with Zach Combs kicking the extra point. Josh Miller had covered 53 yards on a run to put the Cardinals at the East 3-yard line.

On a third-and-22 play, Reyes escaped down the sideline on an 80-yard run to the end zone for East. A two-point conversion pass failed. Reyes was flagged for excessive celebration on his TD run which was assessed on the ensuing kickoff.

Newton needed just three plays to go 36 yards with Roush scoring for a third time. It was 26-19 with 6:20 left in the second quarter.

“Everything that could go wrong for us did in that first quarter and a half,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said. “We didn’t contain the quarterback and allowed people to run by us. I’m happy with the fight our kids showed, and the resiliency to not give up.”

Newton came out and drove the ball down the field to open the second half but stalled out.

Opportunistic defense leads Hawks to win over BGM

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News SULLY — Lynnville-Sully senior Kemper Lukehart admits he’s not the biggest defensive end in the state.

That certainly doesn’t stop him from being effective on the Hawks’ defensive line. He was more than effective Friday as his two sacks led a L-S defense that forced four turnovers and held BGM to a single score during a 32-7 victory in the Class A No. 8 Hawks’ home opener.

The offense also averaged seven yards per play and six different players contributed to the scoring.

Lynnville-Sully is 2-0 on the season and has combined to outscore its first two opponents 81-24.

“I am proud of the guys. They stayed true to what we want to do,” Lynnville-Sully coach Mike Parkinson said.

“They got better tonight no doubt. We had to overcome a lot, and that’s going to be the hallmark of a good team.”

One thing the Hawks had to overcome was the loss of junior Tyson Vander Linden, who was ejected in the third quarter and will miss Friday’s home game against North Mahaska.

Vander Linden rushed for a 23-yard touchdown and intercepted a pass in the first quarter. The ejection came on a Lynnville-Sully punt, and the officials said Vander Linden threw a punch, according to Parkinson.

“In our opinion, he was getting held,” Parkinson said. “There was a lot of contact, and he tried to swim over

the contact. I don’t know if it resembled a swing or what, but he’s not the type of kid that does that.”

The good news is Lynnville-Sully has plenty of depth to overcome Vander Linden’s absence in a game against a winless Warhawk team.

“We have some depth and we’ll have someone step in and get it done,” Parkinson said. “We have a deep rotation in the backfield so we should be OK.” The balanced offense showed again in the win against BGM. Junior Nate Stock started the scoring with a 40-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and then Vander Linden made it 15-0 when L-S scored in one play with 4:34 left in the first quarter.

The two teams then traded interceptions, but BGM (0-2) gave the ball back to the Hawks after Keegan James fumbled.

On the Hawks’ series, senior Sage Zylstra sprinted for a 30-yard TD to put the Hawks up 22-0. Zylstra led a balanced rushing attack with 70 yards on nine carries.

The Hawks took that 22-0 lead into halftime.

BGM’s final possession of the first half ended when the clock ran out.

The Bears had the ball inside the 10yard line at the time.

Lynnville-Sully scored on its first possession of the second half. The 11play drive ended with a 22-yard field goal by senior Brevin Hansen.

COLFAX — Senior Reegan Van Dyke was part of five touchdowns on offense and had an interception on defense as the Colfax-Mingo football team got into the win column for the first time this season Friday.

Van Dyke threw three Van Dyke touchdown passes, caught a TD pass and rushed for a score during the Tigerhawks’ 50-22 win over North Mahaska.

Junior Damir Gumerov ran for two scores, senior Alex Lewis hauled in two of Van Dyke’s touchdown passes and Holister Koenig had the other TD catch.

Van Dyke’s 24-yard TD reception came on a wide receiver pass by backup QB Brady Berkey.

The Tigerhawks (1-2) did not commit a turnover and the defense forced six turnovers from

North Mahaska (0-3). They jumped out to a 21-0 lead after one quarter and never trailed in the game.

Van Dyke hooked up with Lewis for a 14-yard touchdown to put the home team on the board in the first quarter. Van Dyke’s touchdown from Berkey made it 14-0 and then Gumerov’s 5-yard TD run with 1:02 left in the period made it 21-0.

North Mahaska got on the board early in the second quarter following a 55-yard touchdown pass from Ben Sherburne to Tyler Strasser.

The Tigerhawks answered with another Van Dyke touchdown pass, this time a 21-yarder to Lewis.

A 59-yard TD reception by Koenig from Van Dyke in the third quarter made it 37-8.

Luke Groves scored on a 10yard TD run to make it 37-15, but Van Dyke answered 16 seconds later with a 48-yard touchdown run.

Gumerov capped the Tigerhawk scoring with a 14-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter.

North Mahaska scored with

3 seconds left to make the score closer than it was. Sherburne hit Thomas Wilkin on a 15yard TD pass.

Van Dyke finished 9-of-22 for 171 yards and three scores with no interceptions. He rushed for 97 yards and a score and his one catch was a 24-yard TD. He returned his interception 49 yards.

Gumerov rushed for 63 yards and two scores on 12 carries. Koenig’s lone catch was a 59-yard TD, and Lewis led all receivers with four catches for 77 yards and two TDs. Sophomore Trinity Schroeder added three catches for 38 yards.

The defense had four interceptions. Joining Van Dyke collecting a pick were senior Jake Dunsbergen, Gumerov and Berkey. Van Dyke and Berkey each had a fumble recovery.

Dunsbergen had 7 1/2 tackles, Koenig had 5 1/2 tackles and Gumerov and Schroeder each had five tackles.

Baxter can’t overcome key injury in loss to No. 4 Remsen-St. Mary’s

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News REMSEN — With it’s best player on the field, the Baxter football team held an advantage over No. 4 Remsen-St. Mary’s during an 8-man game Friday night.

The Bolts led Remsen-St. Mary’s (2-0) 18-12 after one quarter but Lindemoen then lost allstate lineman Will Clapper to a knee injury.

Baxter never recovered after that, losing 81-18 on the road.

“The final score was not indicative of who the teams ac-

tually are,” Baxter coach Rob Luther. “Losing Will obviously wasn’t good for us. We also didn’t execute after he went out. With him out of the game, the playbook shrinks, and we had to play guys in different spots.”

The Bolts, who led 18-6 at one point in the first quarter, were plagued by seven turnovers.

Senior Devin Carson gave the Bolts an early lead with a 51-yard touchdown run on the first play from scrimmage, and then senior Braydon Aker hooked up with senior Travis Lindemoen for a 45-yard touchdown.

The final points of the game came when Aker connected with Clapper for a 15-yard TD. It was Clapper’s first ca-

reer touchdown.

According to a social media post, Clapper’s injury was a sprained MCL. He plans to have X-Rays on Tuesday and hopes to play in Baxter’s first-ever 8-man home game against English Valleys at 7 p.m. Friday.

Baxter (1-1) was led by Aker, who threw for 241 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions.

Carson rushed for 52 yards and a touchdown and grabbed three passes for 43 yards, and Lindemoen hauled in five catches for 122 yards and a touchdown.

Senior Marcus Mitchell had three catches for 31 yards, while sophomore Cole Damman added three catches for 30 yards.

Mustang volleyball finishes 0-5 at BCLUW tournament

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News CONRAD — The Prairie City-Monroe volleyball team struggled during action at the BCLUW tournament on Saturday.

The Mustangs lost all five of their matches by straight sets and placed sixth in the six-team tournament.

“The tournament was full of great teams that play really fast paced volleyball,” PCM coach Alex Lippman Samson said. “We just had not seen that speed of volleyball yet. We held our own during most of the matches, but just couldn’t finish it for the win.”

PCM (5-8) opened with a 21-13, 21-9 loss to Benton and then dropped a 21-13, 21-11 loss to Hudson.

In a battle between two Heart of Iowa Conference teams, North Polk downed the Mustangs 21-10, 21-1.

South Tama County and host BCLUW also swept the Mustangs.

STC won 21-12, 21-17 and BCLUW claimed a 21-15, 21-11 victory.

“I saw a lot of progress and improvement throughout the day and now we know that we can play at that level as well,” Samson said.

“The girls learned that we must work together as a team and trust one another in order to play at a higher level.”

Against BCLUW, junior Maddie Samson had four kills, senior Madison Foster collected two kills and four assists and senior Olivia Lippman chipped in four digs.

The Mustangs were 19-of-24 in serves.

In the loss to Hudson, Foster had five kills and six assists, senior Kenzie Johnson had eight digs and Lippman totaled six digs. PCM was 23-of-24 in serves, led by Johnson’s 9-of-9 performance.

Samson had five kills in the loss to South Tama.

Sharapova’s US Open ends; Williams faces Kvitova in quarters NEW YORK (AP) — Maybe this was just one three-setter too many for Maria Sharapova.

Sharapova tried a bit of everything, even resorting to switching over her racket to hit a few lefty shots. Still, the five-time major champion could not quite keep her Grand Slam comeback from a doping suspension going, losing in the fourth round of the U.S. Open to 16th-seeded Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia 5-7, 6-4, 6-2 on Sunday.

“Look, three-set matches are challenging. I love being part of them. There’s an element of concentration, focus, physicality that goes into all of it. And you have to put it all together. Yeah, you just have to get through it,” Sharapova said.

This was the third time in her four matches that Sharapova went the distance and she faded down the stretch, while also dealing with a blister on her right hand that was treated and taped by a trainer in the final set.

The 30-year-old Russian finished with 51 unforced errors, compared to 14 for Sevastova.

Sharapova’s exit leaves Venus Williams as the only past U.S. Open champion in the women’s field. The 37-year-old Williams, who won the title in 2000 and 2001, got to the quarterfinals by beating Carla Suarez Navarro 6-3, 3-6, 6-1. Next for Williams will be a showdown against No. 13 Petra Kvitova, a two-time Wimbledon winner, who eliminated reigning Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza 7-6 (3), 6-3 on Sunday night.

Earlier Sunday, 18-year-old Canadian Denis Shapovalov’s entertaining stay ended with a 7-6 (2), 7-6 (4), 7-6 (3) loss to 12th-seeded Pablo Carreno Busta of Spain. In the quarters, Carreno Busta will play No. 29 Diego Schwartzman of Argentina, while No. 17 Sam Querrey of the United States takes on No. 28 Kevin Anderson of South Africa. Querrey gave the host nation its first male quarterfinalist in New York since 2011 after easily beating No. 23 Mischa Zverev 6-2, 6-2, 6-1.

Martinez’s gem leads Cardinals past Padres SAN DIEGO (AP) — Carlos Martinez struck out 10 to lead the St. Louis Cardinals to a 2-0 win over the San Diego Padres on Sunday.

Martinez was remarkably efficient, allowing only three singles and three walks while throwing 109 pitches. The Padres didn’t get a runner into scoring position the whole game.

The Cardinals remained three games behind Colorado in the race for the NL’s second wild card.

Bolts, Hawks, Mustangs run in Dutch Invitational

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PELLA — Three area high school cross country programs competed in the 2017 Dutch Invitational meet Saturday hosted by Pella High School. The 5K races were held on the Central College cross country course.

There were two divisions — small-school and large-school — for girls and boys. Overall, there were 13 girls’ teams running and 15 boys’ teams at the meet. The area teams were all in the small-school divisions and all results are from those divisions.

Baxter’s Bolts claimed second place in the girls’ and boys’ small-school division.

The Class 1A eighth-ranked Bolt girls were second to Class 2A No. 1 Mid-Prairie while the boys finished in a tie with Pella Christian behind Class 2A No. 1 Mid-Prairie.

“Both teams ran very well.

I was very pleased with the effort and determination,” Baxter head coach Dennis Vaughn said. “We had a great week of practice, and it showed on Saturday.”

Lynnville-Sully’s girls were third in the small-school division with 77 points. Mid-Prairie scored 17 points and Baxter had 55 points. Prairie City-Monroe, which was missing one of its top runners in junior Paytan Schut, had 88 points for fourth place.

In the boys’ small-school division, Mid-Prairie scored 20 points while Baxter and Pella Christian each had 78 points. PCM was fifth with 98 points.

Lynnville-Sully head coach Darin Arkema said if you took a vote among the Hawk runners, this meet is not their favorite. He said the Dutch Invitational is usually run under

Shaver

warm and humid conditions.

“However, this year we were blessed with cooler weather and able to run earlier in the day since there were no college races,” Arkema said. “The course does have some rolling hills, but if runners take advantage, those down hills can help you run faster than a flat course. We knew there would be a lot of people in each race because both classes run in the same race. I felt that was helpful to us because there was always someone near you to race against and not so drawn out.”

Baxter placed three runners in the top 10 of the boys’ race led by junior Ian Thomson in third place in 17 minutes, 29 seconds. Sophomore Logan Berg was fifth in 17:55 and junior Josh Bruntz took ninth in 18:42.

“The boys have run well against good competition. They have placed behind only 2A and 3A schools,” Vaughn said.

“The team is certainly showing improvement. I was pleased to see four of our runners (Hitchler, Good, Gowdy, and Padget) running as a pack and moving closer to our top three.”

PCM freshman Beau Webb ran 12th in 18:56 just ahead of teammate Jason Stafford, a sophomore, at 18:59 for 13th.

PCM’s seniors Brady North and Caleb Peter finished 26th and 29th, respectively, in 21:11 and 21:32.

Lynnville-Sully, which does not have a full boys’ team, had

Thomson

senior Josh Dunsbergen taking 28th in 21:25. Freshman Mason Jansen was 39th in 22:00.

“The boys raced first, and I was very proud of Josh’s desire and toughness as he battled some pre-race stomach illness and again during the race.

He gave it his best shot when others might not have even bothered going to the starting line. I know he wished he could have ran faster, but considering how he felt, there was nothing for him to hang his head about,” Arkema said.

Arkema said Jansen ran an identical time to Williamsburg. He had a lot left for a very strong kick at the end, and with experience may use some of that earlier in the race to catch more runners and get to a faster time, Arkema said.

Baxter junior Brenna Thomson turned in the top finish for area girls, finishing fourth in 21:00. Lynnville-Sully senior Mary Kate Shaver was eighth in 21:27.

Junior Lauren Ratliff of Baxter took 10th, edging PCM junior Kirstin Ives, who was 11th, as both girls ran the race in 21:46.

“The girls have placed second at their first two meets,” Vaughn said of Baxter. “The first meet behind 3A stateranked Ballard and the second to Mid-Prairie who is No. 1 in 2A. We have raced very well against great competition.”

Eight area girls finished

between 13th and 20th in the race. Baxter senior Ashlee Johnson and freshman Kailee Conradi got 13th and 14th, respectively, in 22:25 and 22:27 and sophomore Holly Jessen in 18th at 23:32.

“On the girls’ side, we had a great opportunity to test ourselves against a great 2A team in Mid-Prairie and a ranked 1A opponent in Baxter,” Arkema said. “We came away with every girl racing at least 15 seconds faster than Tuesday, and some over a minute quicker. As a team they did a fantastic job of getting into the race, but not crazy early, which helped them be stronger in miles 2 and 3.”

Lynnville-Sully’s Megan Van Zante, a freshman, and sophomore Abby Gruver were 15th and 16th in 23:06 and 23:16, respectively. PCM junior Megan Townley turned in a 17th-place finish in 23:19 and sophomore Klaire Jungling was 20th in 23:47.

Overall, including the 13 girls’ teams, Mid-Prairie was first with Baxter in seventh, Lynnville-Sully in 10th and PCM in 11th. For the boys’ overall team standings, Mid-Prairie was second while Baxter was 11th and PCM was 15th.

Newton had been scheduled to compete Saturday but dropped the meet. Newton and Lynnville-Sully are slated to compete at 4:45 p.m. Tuesday at Grinnell.

“Our team effort and attitude has been outstanding through the first month. Now that we’ve gotten a few races under our belts, they focus needs to continue being that daily effort and energy to do what is necessary for improvement,” Arkema said.

Baxter and Lynnville-Sully compete in Thursday’s Colfax-Mingo Invitational, which begins at 4:30 p.m. at the Colfax Country Club. PCM will run at 4:45 p.m. in Thursday’s meet hosted by Johnston.

Cardinal freshman notch first win of season

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News WATERLOO — Dakota Adams busted loose for 114 yards on 12 carries and scored five touchdowns to lead the Newton High freshmen to a 51-22 win over Waterloo East. The Cardinals led the Trojans, 28-14, at halftime Friday at Waterloo’s Memorial Stadium.

Hamlin sweeps Defense jump starts Cyclones in win over UNI Darlington, rallies to AMES (AP) — It wasn’t the smoothest of openers for Iowa State.

But it went down as a relatively comfortable win for the Cyclones — one they won’t look down on after last year’s opening debacle against Northern Iowa.

Jacob Park threw for 271 yards and two touchdowns and Iowa State, aided by a pair of interception returns for TDs, beat the FCS Panthers 42-24 in the season opener for both teams Saturday.

David Montgomery ran for 82 yards and two scores for the Cyclones, who scored 21 straight points to hold off the Panthers just a year after losing to UNI. “I thought it was a good team win. Was it perfect? No,” Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said.

“The thing I was most impressed with was that we didn’t panic.”

Willie Harvey (12 yards) and Kamari Cotton-Moya (18 yards) returned Eli Dunne picks for scores in the first quarter.

Montgomery then closed the first half with an 8-yard TD run and opened the second with a 3-yard score to make it 28-10.

The Cyclones essentially put it away midway through the third quarter on a 9-yard TD pass from Park to Marchie Murdock that put them ahead 35-10.

Iowa State’s Allen Lazard caught eight passes for 108 yards to set a new school record for career receptions with 178.

Dunne was 23-of-38 passing for 259 yards with three TDs and

winning just five games in 2016.

three interceptions.

“We were able to get some pressure on the quarterback in some crucial situations. That defensive front — those guys grew up (Saturday),” Campbell said.

The Takeaway Iowa State: The Cyclones got off to a very slow start that those pick-sixes helped mask.

But Iowa State started the second half with a nine-play, 65-yard scoring drive, forced a three-and-out and then added another nine-play scoring drive.

Ultimately, the Cyclones were able to overwhelm the FCS Panthers because of their wealth of skill position options.

Whether they’ll be able to do that against Iowa will be a major question mark heading into next week.

Northern Iowa: Erase the two pick-sixes, and the Panthers just might have made a game of it.

But teams that give away points typically give away games, as UNI found out.

The Panthers will look to push past this loss and focus on getting back to the FCS playoff after

Key Numbers Mike Warren split duties with Montgomery, finishing with 33 yards on 12 carries. Warren also had 58 yards as Iowa State’s kick returner. ... Trevor Allen ran for 87 yards for the Panthers. ...

Northern Iowa was just 3-of-11 on third down, while Iowa State was 7-of-15. ... Hakeem Butler caught seven passes for 75 yards.

Park’s Progress Park entered the first game of 2017 with a full offseason under his belt, a luxury he didn’t have a year ago. For the most part Park played like a veteran quarterback — except for a terrible throw late in the first half that was picked off. Northern Iowa moved into field goal position but missed the kick, absolving Park of his miscue. Park completed a career-high 27 passes.

Lanning’s Learning Curve Former starting quarterback Joel Lanning made his debut at linebacker Saturday. He made seven total tackles and was credited with a quarterback hurry on Harvey’s interception in the first quarter.

Lanning also made an appearance at quarterback in the fourth quarter, converting a 4th-and-1 deep inside UNI territory and later ran for a TD that was called back because of a holding penalty.

Southern 500 win

DARLINGTON, S.C. (AP) — Denny Hamlin had strong motivation to chase down Martin Truex Jr. after badly missing pit road at Darlington Raceway — embarrassment.

Hamlin turned a strong lead into a 20-second deficit when he missed the entrance — “Kind of a rookie move,” he said — yet rallied over the final 50 laps to pass Truex and win the Southern 500. It was a dramatic turn of events that had Hamlin relieved he would not be remembered for blowing a certain win.

“I was hoping it would (turn out this way),” he said, “or else I would’ve looked pretty silly trying to explain why we lost.”

No explanations necessary, expect maybe, how the heck did Hamlin do it?

“I think it’s a great story,” car owner Joe Gibbs said. “You can tell when he goes to certain racetracks, too, that he’s got some favorites that he’s awful good at and this is one of them.”

Hamlin won both Darlington races for the second time in his career, the other coming in 2010. He has won seven times in the two series at Darlington.

Hamlin sure didn’t think he’d celebrate anything after his error with 54 laps left as he fell behind Truex by some 20 seconds. But Hamlin slowly reeled in Truex and passed him with three laps left when his rival brushed the wall and got a flat tire.

Hamlin swept throwback weekend at Darlington after winning the Xfinity race Saturday. Truex won the first

two stages, clinching NASCAR’s regular-season championship and gaining the No. 1 seed heading into the playoffs in two weeks.

Kyle Busch was second, followed by brother Kurt Busch, Austin Dillon and Erik Jones.

Hamlin led 124 laps and looked as if he was easily on the way to a second Southern 500 after winning in 2010.

Then inexplicably, Hamlin missed the entrance and seemingly threw the race to the ever-steady Truex.

Hamlin got up to Truex’s bumper with three laps to go before moving low around lapped traffic to take the lead and hold on for victory.

“This is a good day all in all. So proud to be back in victory lane in the Southern 500,” he said.

Truex rubbed the wall, blew his right front tire and stumbled home in eighth.

“Sometimes it’s just not your night,” Truex said. “Tonight wasn’t our night.”

Dale Earnhardt Jr. finished 22nd — the same as how he started — in his final time racing at Darlington.

Matt Kenseth was sixth, Ryan Newman seventh, then Truex, pole-sitter Kevin Harvick and Jamie McMurray rounding out the top 10.

It’s the second time Hamlin has swept events at Darlington, winning both the Xfinity and Cup races together in 2010 and this year.

Hamlin passed Joey Logano coming off the final turn to take Saturday’s race.

Rossi wins IndyCar race at Watkins Glen Troy Hyde/Daily News Lynnville-Sully senior Sage Zylstra, with the ball, rushed for 70 yards and a touchdown on offense and had seven tackles on defense during the Class A No. 8 Hawks’ 32-7 win over BGM on Friday night.

Hawks

Continued from Page 1B BGM missed two field goals on their next two possessions.

That allowed the Hawks to extend their lead. They ended a two-play, 80-yard drive with a 54-yard touchdown pass play from senior Elijah Collins to senior Tanner Foster. Collins hit Foster in stride on a go route.

Collins was 4-for-12 in the game for 103 yards. Senior Drake Ehresman hauled in two passes for 46 yards to lead the receivers.

“I thought we threw the ball better tonight. Elijah put some passes where they needed to be,” Parkinson said.

BGM scored its only touchdown with 4:21 to go in the game.

The Hawks held the Bears to 88 passing yards. Keegan James led BGM’s attack with 108 rushing yards and 48 yards receiving.

“We have a long ways to go defensively in my opinion,” said Zylstra, who had seven tackles.

“They only scored seven points, but we have a lot of things to fix.”

BGM moved the ball some offensively, but the Hawks snatched two interceptions and forced two fumbles in the first half.

Both Lukehart sacks came in the first quarter. He also had six tackles.

“I am not that big. I have to use my speed if I want to be effective,” Lukehart said. “We have some big guys, but we aren’t the biggest team probably. We use our speed to our advantage.”

The Hawks were able to keep the momentum despite helping BGM with penalties. There were 21 penalties called in the game.

The Hawks were flagged 11 times for 103 yards, and BGM committed 10 penalties for 101 yards.

Junior Gage Vander Leest hooked up with Hansen on a wide receiver pass, but the 69yard play was called back because of a penalty.

Zylstra said after the game the penalties need to get cleaned up.

Parkinson had a different take.

“I am not concerned about the penalties,” Parkinson said. “I don’t have much to say about it.

I just want the officials to let us play football. Both sides.”

The Hawks rushed for 203 yards in the win. After Zylstra’s 70, Stock gained 56 yards on five carries and junior Evan Squires gained 49 yards on eight carries.

“We want to mix it up. We have guys who can carry it 20 times if we need them to, but using different guys has worked so far,” Parkinson said.

The Hawks’ defense had seven tackles for loss to go with three sacks.

Vander Leest had eight tackles, senior Jesse Van Wyk finished with seven tackles and Hansen, Stock, Squires and senior Carson Dunsbergen all had six tackles. Vander Leest had two tackles for loss. Stock added one sack and one interception.

“We can still get better. We can clean up some stuff,” Lukehart said. “We need to tackle better and do a better job of not over pursuing.”

The Hawks head into Class A, District 6 play with an unblemished record. But the Hawks are far from a finished product.

“The effort was great. The guys wanted this one real bad,” Parkinson said. “We have to fix the messy though. We have to start cutting back on our mistakes.”

WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (AP) — Alexander Rossi overcame a mechanical malfunction on pit road to notch a big victory. IndyCar points leader Josef Newgarden wasn’t so lucky.

Rossi used a stroke of good fortune to win the IndyCar Grand Prix at The Glen on Sunday from the pole, leading more than half of the 60lap race and easily holding off four-time series champion Scott Dixon over the closing laps at Watkins Glen International for his second career victory. His first one came last year in the 100th running of the Indianapolis 500.

“Today I was finally able to prove what I’ve been talking about the past month, two months, in terms of the step forward Andretti Autosport has taken,” said Rossi, who has five straight top-six finishes.

“We have the package in the car and the people to be at the front. Just had things go wrong.”

The win was the 57th Indy car triumph for Andretti Autosport and the team’s first win at Watkins Glen. It was somewhat overshadowed, though, by the sudden fall by Newgarden after a costly error in the pits

that relegated him to an 18th-place finish.

Dixon’s second-place finish for Chip Ganassi Racing erased most of Newgarden’s 31-point lead and left the fourtime champion just three points behind heading to the season finale at Sonoma next week, which is worth double points.

“I’ve been in situations like that,” Dixon said. “I think you just got to treat next week as another race. I think you can’t overcomplicate it. We want to win it.

There’s a lot on the line.

But, you know, I think if you overthink things too much, then it ends up being a bad thing.

“I’ve never raced Josef, really, in a championship like this. You can have a pretty hefty swing.”

Newgarden, who has a series-high four wins, took the championship lead for the first time in his career after his win at Mid-Ohio in late July.

His victory last week at Gateway Motorsports Park over Penske teammate Simon Pagenaud was his third in four races and seemed to stamp him as the man to beat.

Then his lead in the standings vanished in a flash at Watkins Glen.

Easley’s TD helps Hawkeyes down Wyoming

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Ever since Nick Easley can remember, walking down the tunnel at Kinnick Stadium and playing for the Iowa football team was his dream.

His dream became reality Saturday.

And his effort on the field helped propel the Hawkeyes to a win in their season opener.

Easley hauled in four passes for 77 yards and his 45-yard touchdown in the third quarter put Iowa up 21-3 and the Hawkeyes wound up winning 24-3 in front of 68,075 fans at Kinnick Stadium.

“I had some chills going down the tunnel. It was a surreal moment for sure,” Easley said. “This was a dream come true for me.”

The Cowboys scored first in the game, but the Hawkeye defense held Wyoming to 59 rushing yards and picked off NFL prospect Josh Allen twice in the fourth quarter.

While the defense was dominant, the offense has some work to do. The Hawks gained just 263 yards and committed four turnovers.

“They had a new defensive coordinator, and they showed us some looks we hadn’t seen on film,” Iowa sophomore quarterback Nate Stanley said.

“It took us a little bit to get things figured out, but once we did the coaches got us into the right plays and we went from there.”

Senior tailback Akrum Wadley rushed for at least 100 yards for the 10th time in his career, finishing with 116 in the win.

Stanley tossed three touchdowns in his first career start.

One of those TDs went to Easley, a Newton native, in the third quarter.

Running a crossing route, Easley got behind the secondary, hauled in Stanley’s pass near the visitor’s sideline and shook off former Iowa Western teammate Rico Gafford before diving over the goal line.

“Nate made a good throw, and I was able to run under it,” Easley said. “I was hungry

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa junior wide receiver Nick Easley (84), a Newton High School graduate, celebrates his first Hawkeye touchdown with teammate Drake Kulick during the third quarter Saturday at Kinnick Stadium. The touchdown put Iowa up 21-3, and the Hawkeyes defeated Wyoming 24-3.

for the end zone. It was a great feeling to be able to help my team out in that spot.”

Iowa head coach Kirk Ferentz was impressed with Easley’s debut.

“That was not an easy catch,” Ferentz said. “He made a couple of good catches today. He’s a guy that has just worked hard in practice, and we are encouraged by what we have seen so far.”

The Hawkeyes won the game despite missing starting

cornerback Manny Rugamba and starting center James Daniels.

The Iowa offensive line looked much different than it will when fully healthy as projected starter Boone Myers played but did not start because of a minor injury.

Rugamba was serving a one-game suspension. Ferentz also said the team should get Daniels back next week for Iowa’s instate matchup with Iowa State.

“I was really pleased with our effort today, and the way we stuck together,” Ferentz said. “There were some bumps in the road today. The guys played through it.”

While the Hawkeye offense works out their kinks, the defense appears to be in midseason form.

Led by a talented group of senior linebackers, Iowa’s defense held Allen and the Cowboy offense to 233 total yards.

comes to H.A. Lynn Stadium.

Continued from Page 1B The Cardinal defense got two points on a safety when it forced the Trojans to punt.

The snap went over the punter’s head and out of end zone.

The Cardinals ran the ball right at the Trojans on a short field following the free kick.

Miravalles had an 8-yard TD run with Combs kicking the extra point.

Roush scored his fourth TD of the game on the final play of the third quarter set up by a fumble recovery by the Cardinals’ senior linebacker Blayden Rhone.

“We ran the same stuff in the second half that we ran in the first half, and we were OK,” Ergenbright said. “It was a matter of us making a lot of mistakes in the first half. We kept ourselves in the game in the first half until we got the lead late in the second quarter. Then they lost their quarterback, and we dominated the second half.”

Newton carried a 42-26 lead into the final 12 minutes of play.

Cardinal quarterback Garrett Sturtz, who had 122 yards rushing on 14 carries, found Trevor Ergenbright for a 43-yard TD pass play after Combs intercepted a Trojan pass.

Miravalles pushed into the end zone for the third time with 4:32 left in the game. Jacob Murphy kicked the final two PATs for Newton.

Newton rolled up 431 yards on the ground. Miravalles had three TDs and rushed for 77

with 14 tackles, two tackles for loss and two sacks, while senior Ben Niemann recorded a career-high 13 tackles.

The third linebacker, senior Bo Bower, had 11 tackles, senior safety Miles Taylor collected eight tackles and junior cornerback Josh Jackson and sophomore defensive lineman Brady Reiff both had their first career interceptions.

Iowa took the lead for good late in the second quarter when Stanley hooked up with sophomore tight end Noah Fant on a 2-yard touchdown pass play. The Hawkeyes went for it on fourth and two and the TD capped an 11-play, 65yard drive.

“I think that gave him a boost of confidence. Sometimes you need that one play to get things going,” said Wadley about Stanley. “He started slow but kept swinging.”

The lead grew to 14-3 later in the period.

Freshman A.J. Epenesa, a five-star recruit, recorded his first career sack to force the Cowboys into a punt. However, the Hawkeyes got the ball in Wyoming territory after Cowboy punter Tim Zaleski swung and missed on a punt attempt.

Iowa pounced on the ball and scored on the next play.

Stanley hit Fant for a 27-yard TD strike with 55 seconds to go until halftime.

Fant’s only two catches went for touchdowns. Stanley finished 8-of-15 for 125 yards, three scores and one interception. Stanley also lost two fumbles.

Wyoming couldn’t take advantage of the turnovers though. Mostly because of a stifling Hawkeye defense.

“We wanted to limit the big plays, and we were able to do that,” said junior free safety Jake Gervase, who was making his first start.

“We knew the offense would score at some point.

We just wanted to get off the field on third down. We were able to execute our gameplan and had fun doing it.”

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Snagging the football is Newton High senior Trevor Ergenbright (10) for a long completion, which was wiped out by a penalty. Quarterback Garrett Sturtz hooked up with Ergenbright later in Friday’s game for a 43-yard TD pass play at Waterloo.

yards on 14 carries. Roush finished with 93 yards on 10 carries. Miller ended up with 79 yards on six carries and Carson Cazett had 35 yards on seven rushes.

“We learned how much grit we have and how much passion we have to go out to win every game not just to play but to win,” Sturtz said.

Combs paced the Cardinal defense with four solo tackles and two assisted tackles and an interception. Mason Lee racked up three solo tackles and three assisted tackles.

Grant Garvis and Rhone each had three solo tackles and two

assisted tackles. Graham had three solos and one assisted tackle and the interception.

Thomas Cox, Jaise Gulling, Aaron Bartels and Jaden King each recorded two solo tackles. The Cardinals had five quarterback sacks — one each

by Combs, Gulling, Landon Hansen, Lee and Rhone.

Reyes had 94 yards rushing and 162 yards passing before being injured. Newton’s defense bottled up Gordon, who finished with just 19 yards on nine carries. Waterloo East (11) had 325 yards total offense.

“We didn’t change our game plan of attack when he (Reyes)

went out. We didn’t take their backup quarterback lightly,” Graham said. “A game like this will help us in the long run.”

Graham’s head coach agreed with that assessment.

“This was a good game for us. We found out the things we’re good at and things we’re not plus those things we need to fix,” Ergenbright said. “Except for one or two drives, offensively we answered the bell tonight. These guys will keep working hard to get better.”

The Cardinals improved to 2-0 on the season. They have their home opener Friday when Des Moines North
