City to begin phasing out builder incentives

‘You can take them wherever life takes you’

Colfax celebrates tiny homes with giant festival starting Sept. 22

By Anthony Victor Reyes Newton Daily News COLFAX — Corn stalks are changing color, squirrels can be seen gathering nuts and the cold breeze is blowing in. To quote the mantra of the ever-popular show, “Game of Thrones,” winter is coming.

To help the snowbirds prepare for their migration south, one giant festival will set up shop at the Jasper County Fairgrounds to celebrate another nationwide trend — one that is definitely tinier than the 700-foot-tall wall featured on the HBO series.

“Tiny houses are a great way to show people that you don’t need all these items to be happy,” TinyFest Midwest event coordinator Renee McLaughlin said.

“In America, houses have been getting larger and larger — more

stuff, bigger stuff, better stuff. I think that we have reached the breaking point, and people are looking at things, people would rather have experiences.”

TinyFest Midwest is bringing Iowa’s first tiny house and simple living festival to Colfax Sept.

22. The three-day event aims to show patrons why the tiny home movement has swept the nation by storm by bringing in live music, vendors and several unique alternative homes to tour.

“I thought it would be nice to bring the tiny houses to a tiny town,” McLaughlin said. “This is the largest gathering of tiny houses in the Midwest, by far.

The other events I have been to around the Midwest have had two or three houses. Our festival is having a couple dozen houses that are coming from all over the country.”

From transformed school bus-

es to 254-square-foot structures to house the Haitians who lost their home in the devastating earthquake in 2010, McLaughlin said the festival will have more than 24 unique alternative structures for people to tour. Whether you are interested in simply living a simpler, uncluttered life or want a home on the go and ready for the next adventure, the organizer said this festival will be the perfect time to indulge ones curiosity about the tiny house craze.

“You can take them wherever life takes you. Often, unexpected things come up — you need to come back home to take care of mom or someone gets transferred a job,” she said. “For people who are retired, it gives them the freedom to go where they would like to spend their time and see things that are on their bucket list.”

A couple of changes to the builder incentives in the Newton Housing Initiative program will begin a sunset period over the next three years. Newton City Council approved the two amendments for building permits and inspection fees and loan interest reimbursement to begin phasing out incentives by 2020.

Previously, building permits and inspection fees were waived for home builders. With the changes, the permits and fees will be phased in during a three-year period. In 2018, the fees will be completely waived, in 2019, a 50 percent discount on the fees will be provided and starting Jan. 1, 2020, any builder applying for permits will pay the full amount for the building permit and inspection fees as authorized by the city and the Iowa Code of Ordinance.

The second change will sunset all construction loan interest reimbursement when 25 new, single family home certificates are issued in any calender year. During the past seven years, 40 new homes were constructed in the city.

From 2011 to 2014, an average of three homes were built with zero new homes constructed in 2011. Only a short time later, the average grew to 10 homes per year with

11 homes built in Newton through the first half of 2017.

“I know this is a delicate balance because we have some momentum and we certainly want to keep it going. If we are going to market the community, we know we need to have homes ready for them to look at and be able to purchase in a short period of time,” councilwoman Evelyn George said. “I also appreciate that the housing development corporation did find some ways to start to back off on the incentives, which hopefully will also give it some urgency that builders will take advantage of it sooner, knowing that it will sunset.”

Buyer incentives in the program will remain the same including the $10,000 cash incentive after having an overwhelmingly positive reaction from new home owners and those marketing the properties.

“The best part about this is we both can have different opinions but come to the same conclusion because I honestly think this is needed at this moment,” councilman Jeff Price said. “I think we have found out during the past few years what this incentive can bring and it actually can save the city money.”

Newton Union Cemetery NAMI to re-launch local support group Walk to be presented by NHS students

By Kayla Singletary Newton Daily News The Jasper County Historical Museum has collaborated for the first time with students from Newton High School’s speech department to present a fall cemetery walk.

The walk is set for 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday at the Newton Union Cemetery at 1601 W. Fourth St. N. Students will be dressed up in period attire to tell visitors about the lives of three prominent men and three prominent women from Jasper County.

Authors and educators to be portrayed include, Lucy Hall, “Pop” Lynn, Emerson Hough, Gulielma Zollinger, Walt King and Reva Meredith. There will also be mu-

sic by violinist Kate Fudge.

Before the walk, attendees can meet the new museum director, Joe Otto, and learn about the cemetery’s history.

Linda Perrenoud, a former speech teacher, is the director of the walk. Perrenoud said she reached out to the speech teacher at Newton High School, Niki Hively, and she found six students who were interested in acting.

Perrenoud said the idea of cemetery walks came along about a decade ago when there was an effort between the Newton Community Theatre and the museum. Perrenoud said that interest died out.

Central Iowa Today

2A |

Today in History Today is Thursday, Sept. 14, the 257th day of 2017. There are 108 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 14, 1814, Francis Scott Key was inspired to write the poem “Defence of Fort McHenry” (later “The Star-Spangled Banner”) after witnessing the American flag flying over the Maryland fort following a night of British naval bombardment during the War of 1812.

On this date: In 1867, the first volume of “Das Kapital” by Karl Marx was published in Hamburg, Germany.

In 1901, President William McKinley died in Buffalo, N.Y., of gunshot wounds inflicted by an assassin; Vice President Theodore Roosevelt succeeded him.

In 1941, Vermont passed a resolution enabling its servicemen to receive wartime bonuses by declaring the U.S. to be in a state of armed conflict, giving rise to headlines that Vermont had “declared war on Germany.”

In 1954, the Soviet Union detonated a 40-kiloton atomic test weapon.

In 1964, Pope Paul VI opened the third session of the Second Ecumenical Council of the Vatican, also known as “Vatican II.” (The session closed two months later.)

In 1975, Pope Paul VI declared Mother Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton the first U.S.born saint.

In 1982, Princess Grace of Monaco, formerly actress Grace Kelly, died at age 52 of injuries from a car crash the day before; In 1986, President Ronald Reagan and his wife, Nancy, appeared together on radio and television to appeal for a “national crusade” against drug abuse.

Ten years ago: Defense Secretary Robert Gates raised the possibility of cutting U.S. troop levels in Iraq to 100,000 by the end of 2008, well beyond the cuts President George W. Bush had approved. In Iraq, some 1,500 mourners called for revenge as they buried the leader of the Sunni revolt against al-Qaida, Adbul-Sattar Abu Risha, who had been assassinated in a bombing claimed by an al-Qaida front.

Five years ago: Fury over an anti-Muslim film ridiculing the Prophet Muhammad spread across the Muslim world, with deadly clashes near Western embassies in Tunisia and Sudan, an American fast-food restaurant set ablaze in Lebanon, and international peacekeepers attacked in the Sinai.

One year ago: Hillary Clinton’s campaign released a letter from her doctor saying the Democratic presidential nominee was “recovering well” from pneumonia and remained “fit to serve as President of the United States.”

Today’s Birthdays Basketball Hall of Fame coach Larry Brown is 77. Actor Sam Neill is 70. Singer Jon “Bowzer” Bauman (Sha Na Na) is 70.

Rock musician Ed King is 68. Actor Robert Wisdom is 64. Rock musician Steve Berlin (Los Lobos) is 62. Country singer John Berry is 58. Actress Melissa Leo is 57. Actress Faith Ford is 53. Actor Jamie Kaler is 53. Actress Michelle Stafford is 52.

That’s Odd Complaints about a festival’s cold pizza prompt state inquiry NEW YORK (AP) — Some New York City foodies say a neighborhood pizza festival has left them with a bad taste in their mouths.

Prosecutors are looking into the New York City Pizza Festival after attendees fumed they paid $75 each to eat cold slivers of pizza in a parking lot in Brooklyn on Saturday.

The festival was promoted as a celebration of pizza. Attendees say on Facebook they instead got cold slices of pizza “smaller than a sample size,” served with glasses of warm wine.

NEW YORK (AP) — Urged on by dozens of stars who turned out to sing, tell stories and plead for support for hurricane victims in a one-hour televised benefit, organizers said more than $44 million was raised Tuesday and donations are still being accepted.

With Stevie Wonder singing “Lean on Me” and Usher and Blake Shelton joining for “Stand By Me,” the message was clear: Americans were being asked to help those whose lives were upended by wind and rain.

Justin Bieber, George Clooney, Barbra Streisand, Al Pacino, Lupita Nyong’o, Jay Leno and dozens of others sat at phone banks to accept donations. Beyonce, Will Smith and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson sent in taped pleas for support during the event, shown on more than a dozen

Local & State News TinyFest Continued from Page 1A home revolution across the country, the festival will feature a variety of workshops and speakers to answer questions about tiny home living, and teach attendees how to live, build and create a tiny lifestyle.

“Folks who are thinking about living tiny or living a little bit more simple life, they are going to learn something new,” McLaughlin said. “If you want to even know about how compost works, you can go up to someone and ask.”

As the opportunity also aims to celebrate the community, the three-day event will

NAMI Continued from Page 1A merge and become NAMI of Central Iowa because it’s in our mental health region,” Ehler said. “We will continue to have some control over our own funds and we will just be a line item on their budget.”

Ehler said the family support group will be led by three facilitators, Ehler, Peg Ehler and Emily Exley-Berry.

“We all have members in our family with mental illness and that’s one of the key things since it’s a peer driven group,” Bill Ehler said. “We have guidelines at these meetings and the first thing we do is give everyone an opportunity to talk.”

Ehler said each person will get a minute and a half to speak with a sand timer. If there is someone who doesn’t want to talk, then they can pass the timer on to someone else, according to Ehler.

“We feel there has been a lot of talk and people want to have a support group, and we didn’t know what that would look like, and then we found out about this training,” Ehler said. “We had a full two days of training with role playing.”

Ehler said they will lead as facilitators and not therapists.

“The whole point is to get feedback from others in the group — we are all there to help,” Ehler said. “We don’t want to say we can fix their problem but we can guide them to the proper service.”

Ehler said he and his wife joined the organization six or seven years ago when their daughter was diagnosed with

feature live music and a variety of vendors. From a performance by the local favorite rock band, Brother Trucker to the Iowa Craft Beer Tent, featuring drinks from Confluence Brewing to No Coast Beer Company, McLaughlin said attendees are guaranteed to have a weekend full of fun and good times.

“People love Tiny Houses, and that is awesome within itself, but to actually add in the other activities and festivities truly makes it come alive,” the event organizer said. “It makes it a place to build a community.”

To encourage patrons to collaborate with others in the tiny house community, the weekend festival will offer onsite camping, whether they

prefer to stay in a tent or a mobile tiny home. According to organizers, campers will have 24-hour access to toilets, a shower house and a water spigot. There are no water or sewer hookups on-site.

Primitive camping spaces cost $20 a night and premium spaces, which include electricity, are $35 a night.

According to McLaughlin, the three-day festival is estimated to attract thousands to the Colfax area, weather permitting. She said the town of 2,000 people was the perfect spot to showcase these alternative structures.

“If folks are staying a couple of days, they might want a little time away from the fairgrounds to see what else in

bipolar disorder.

“There is a definite need out there and we are trying to get rid of that stigma, too,” Ehler said. “Too many people don’t know what stigma is and they say, ‘you are just crazy.’”

Ehler said residents of Jasper County will participate in the NAMI Walk in Johnston at 10 a.m. Sept. 30. The Jasper County Walk Stars will walk at Terra Lake Park at 6300 Pioneer Parkway. Other upcoming programs Ehler hopes to incorporate is NAMI Connections, which is a support group where a person with a mental illness leads a group of others with mental illness.

Ehler also hopes to bring the program, Ending the Silence, to school districts in the county.

“Next year, we are hoping by 2018, we will be able to offer it here in Jasper County,” Ehler said. “It is about a 90-minute presentation with a high school age person who talks about their own mental illness.”

Ehler said he believes there are many people who aren’t aware of their own mental illness.

“We were in the same boat at one point with our daughter,” Ehler said. “Too many people go through school and they might have a mental illness that’s never caught.”

Local board members of NAMI of Central Iowa will continue to meet at 6:30 p.m. every third Monday of the month.

Kitten adventures S

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

he crouches over her front paws, her prey in her sights. Her tail whips to the side once, then she tucks it around her body, not wanting to give away her position. Her front paws slide slowly forward, advancing on her target — no sound can be heard as she creeps ahead. In a flash, she springs forward, wrestling her target to the ground.

Not to be outdone, her opponent jabs with his paws gaining enough room to roll back to his feet, ready for his counterstrike. His fur stands on end; his back arches slightly as he takes his swing, mewing a little as his paw connects with his target. The two spar for a little while; each getting bats and taps in. She starts biting his ear then stops, deciding instead to lick and clean her brother’s ear instead.

This calls an end to the latest round of play.

I mentioned briefly in a column a few weeks ago my fiancé, Tim, and I are the unexpected “grandparents” of four kittens. Our cat, Dora, had them at the end of July, and they are getting their feet under them more and more every day.

Tim and I avoided giving them “real names,” so we didn’t become attached.

As much as I would love to keep them all, we simply can’t. My sister, Trish, has claimed the runt of the litter. We called him “Runty,” but we are slowly adapting to calling him “Boo,” which is short for Boo Radley to go with their dog Scout and betta fish Jem. “To Kill a Mockingbird” fans will understand the reference.

That leaves the other two boys and one girl. If anyone is looking for a free kitten, let me know. Any of them would make cat lovers smile with glee. They are potty trained and adorable. Allow me to tell

you a bit about them.

Little Girl, as we call her, is probably my favorite of the group — Tim’s, too.

She is the only fluffy one of the group, think the Fancy Feast cat with a gray head and tail. She is going to make a good lap cat. She’s a little shy at first but doesn’t fuss when you pick her up. She loves being held and petted but does her fair share of playing, too. She is a fast learner, the first of the group to figure out how to climb.

Blackie looks the most like his mother. Like Dora, he has a mostly black coat, all down his back and the top of his head.

Unlike his mother, he is white from his nose, all down his belly and paws. He has the most personality of the group and seems to always get the best of his brothers and sister while playing.

Gray is the last of the group, but I’d bet he’s the oldest. He’s always the one who does things first — first to eat solid food, first to play and first to use the litter box.

Similar to his brother, Blackie, he’s gray on his back and head but white on his belly. He’s getting really good at playing with his wand toy. He’ll bat it down and

get a good grip on it with his teeth and not let go. I think both Blackie and Gray are going to be good mousers.

Despite my resolve not to get attached, Little Girl has captured Tim and I’s hearts, and “Marie” will remain a part of our family. Blackie and Gray are still looking for forever homes.

Tim tells me since the kittens are eating solid food and using the litter box, they are ready to leave anytime. Soon they will venture out on their own, but I will always remember what it was like watching these four curious kittens learn more each day. Even though they are starting to become more independent, they are still very attached to their mamma. I know she can’t really understand me, but I tell Dora all the time what a good mother she is and how well she is raising them.

It will be an adjustment for Dora, but I know it’s not unusual for baby cats to leave their mom once they learn how to survive without her. It’s in their nature after all.

Class President

It happened in a class four or five years ahead of me in school. The senior class had a gang of boys more interested in shenanigans than anything serious, like the impression they made on the community, or what their actions paid out in consequences. “The gang,” which is an insult to the term, was led by a thug who loved picking on weaker individuals. He was a bully in every sense of the word. Like all bullies, he hid behind a shield of bravado, fear covered by anger, and an overblown image of himself. His name was Bo Browning.

There was one poor soul in particular that Bo loved picking on, Henry Gurnia, whom he called Henry Hernia. Henry was from a very poor family, if you can call it a family. No one knew for sure. It was rumored that he lived with his stepfather (who beat him), in a one-room shack without running water, back in the thick woods that lined the Skunk River. I would see Henry standing at the end of a rutted, weed-lined dirt path, waiting for the school bus. He wore dirty clothes that were too large for him, a pair of man’s dress shoes that had a flapping sole, and a pair of borrowed, wirerimmed glasses with a cracked lens. His hair was down over his shirt collar, his pants were held up by a belt that went nearly twice around his waist and, to put it mildly, he smelled. Girls stayed completely away from him, and the gang, led by Bo, knocked books out of his hands, pushed him down steps, and generally made Henry’s life miserable. “Hey, Hernia, got a date for the prom?” It’s a credit to Henry’s grit and determination that he even finished high school.

For speech class Henry described in detail how to skin a possum, and joked about his pap whipping him if he wasted a bullet. I don’t know why county social workers didn’t get involved, but in those days, 1962, I’m not sure there were county social workers.

When it came time to elect class officers, Bo, who thought he should be class president, devised a prank.

To upset the usual slate of goodie-two-shoes, Bo spread the word amongst his gang to vote for Henry as a joke. Even some of the girls got into the vote rigging.

When it came time to vote, Henry Hernia was elected senior class president.

The school administration was beside itself. But what could they do? Bo was called into the principal’s office, but he just shrugged his shoulders and said, “Looks like the senior class has spoken, sir.”

The really sad part is that Henry didn’t realize it was a joke. He thought he was elected because of popularity. “Pa will be so proud,” Henry said, wiping the toe of one shoe on the back of a pant leg.

Consequently, the year for that senior class was a shambles. Henry had no skills when it came to leading the senior class, nor would any of the other class officers have anything to do with him. The fundraiser for the senior class trip never got off the ground, the senior prom was ill attended, and when class pictures came out, there was Henry, at the top of the senior class picture, his greasy hair a mess and a wild look in his eye that bespoke a mixture of confusion and pride.

At graduation, the class president always speaks.

When it was Henry’s turn, right after the school board president, and before the class valedictorian, Henry stumbled to the podium. The bright lights reflected off his cracked glasses. A hush fell over the auditorium. Henry shielded the glare with his hand, looked out over the crowd, and started to say, “I’m gonna join them marines and kill me some gooks ...” when the superintendent stepped forward and ushered Henry off the stage.

Bo’s crowd jeered, hooted and brayed like donkeys.

Parents and relatives in the auditorium were shocked, embarrassed and angered at such a mockery of a respected office.

But that’s the price you pay when a joke turns out to be president.

Sometimes the poor make it big.

Usually they stay poor

We all want to live in a country where all it takes is hard work and some talent for anyone to succeed. We tell ourselves that we do. We even see examples of people who “came from nothing” and ended up rich and famous.

And it’s true that it sometimes happens. Sometimes a child born into poverty grows up to become the president of the United States, a multi-billionaire, or an Olympic gold medalist.

Most of the time, however, they don’t. And it’s not because they’re bad, lazy, stupid, or immoral. Often it’s because of our system itself.

Take our school system for a start. By funding schools with property taxes, we guarantee that the children from the richest neighborhoods go to the wealthiest schools.

If we lived in neighborhoods that were economically mixed with families of all incomes, this wouldn’t be a big deal. But we don’t. Instead we have areas of very wealthy people whose children attend wonderful schools, and areas of concentrated poverty where children attend failing schools.

And the kids in the good schools? Their parents can afford tutoring, extracurricular activities, summer camp, and SAT prep classes. It’s the kids whose parents can’t provide those extra learning opportunities who go to the worst schools.

AMENDMENT

Meanwhile, careers are sorted into those that require a college degree and those that don’t.

Once upon a time, one could support a family on the wage of a manufacturing job. But America lost those jobs, and replaced them with poorly paid service jobs that often have no benefits.

For those without college degrees, getting ahead is difficult.

But college is expensive. Even without the tuition costs, one has to keep a roof over their head and eat while attending school.

Community colleges and online programs add flexibility for students who work full time while attending school, but it can still be difficult.

I don’t advocate a return to the days when men worked and women stayed home. But at least back then, families had an adult whose full time duties were to take care of the home and the children.

When women went to work, the expectations of the workplace didn’t change. Men with stay-at-home wives never needed maternity leave or flex time or places to pump breastmilk or time off to pick up a sick kid from day care.

Another View Jill Richardson

But in families where both partners work, or in single parent families, how on earth are parents supposed to hold down a full time job and simultaneously be full-time homemakers?

Sociologist Arlie Hochschild examined this in her classic book The Second Shift, finding that the housework often still falls disproportionately to working women, often leaving them frazzled and exhausted. Sometimes the kids lose out, when neither parent has time to spend with them.

Wealthier families now pay for the work that women used to do for free: childcare, laundry, cooking, cleaning, and so on.

But whom do they pay? Less wealthy women, usually. And those women, after spending a day caring for someone else’s kids or doing someone else’s laundry, still have to figure out how to get their own housework done once they go home.

The end result is that most people who start out poor stay poor. And those who start out rich usually stay rich. (Recent studies show that Canada now has three times better social mobility than the U.S., suggesting the American dream moved north.)

Ours is a great system, if you’re rich. But we’d be a better country if we didn’t rig the game against those whose only mistake was to be born to poor parents.

Pressure from boyfriend spurs teen to question relationship DEAR ABBY: I am a 16-year-old girl in a somewhat happy relationship. When I first started dating my boyfriend, he was all about it, as was I. But now it seems like he’s only interested in sex. He’s always asking me to send him videos and pictures of myself nude, and I just keep telling him I’m not ready for anything like that.

I also don’t think he is understanding my comfort zone about the topic of us having sex.

I have told my friends. They say I’m in an unhealthy relationship because he might pressure me into something I don’t want to do. So now, I’m debating whether or not to break up with him.

Do you think I should stay with him or break up with him? — TEEN IN EDMONTON, CANADA DEAR TEEN: Your friends are right. This romance doesn’t appear to be headed anywhere healthy.

Naked pictures are considered pornographic and could get you and that young man in serious trouble. Surely you are aware that once something gets on the internet, it’s in the public domain forever. Once you have sent your boyfriend the pictures, they could wind up passed around and viewed by everyone at your school.

Your resolve not to have sex may be rock solid, but even granite can eventually be eroded by a constant drip of water. Don’t think for one moment he doesn’t understand how you feel about not having sex with him. If he cared about your comfort zone, he would stop bringing the subject up and trying to wear you down. Because he persists, you should break up with him.

DEAR ABBY: I have been divorced for eight years and have a wonderful, kindhearted 13-year-old son.

My ex-husband and I barely communicate because he was very hurtful and controlling. He was supposed to pay some form of child support, but has

never given me a dime. He refuses because of my income, and he hides his money in his business.

I have come to accept his selfishness, but a month ago he “borrowed” $130 from my son’s piggy bank — hard-earned money his relatives gave him for doing chores, getting good grades and birthday gifts. My son has asked his father to return the money, but it has been more than a month and his dad keeps making excuses.

My son is devastated that his dad took his money. It didn’t surprise me because my ex always felt entitled to other people’s things. What advice can I give my son on how to get his money back, or is it gone forever? — PIGGY BANK ROBBERY DEAR ROBBERY: That your ex would steal money from his son and stonewall about returning it is shameful. Tell your son you are sorry his father let him down, and that the money likely won’t be returned.

Then advise him that because the piggy bank wasn’t secure, it’s time the two of you opened a bank account for him and that the signatories will be you and him. This will prevent a repeat of what happened. If it’s an interest-bearing account, it will earn money while it’s there instead of sitting idle with “Miss Piggy.”

‘stand your ground’ defense

central Iowa field

MONTEZUMA — Iowa officials say a black bear has been spotted just southeast of Montezuma in central Iowa. The Poweshiek County Sheriff ’s Office said deputies and an Iowa Department of Natural Resources officer confirmed the bear’s presence on Tuesday.

DNR Conservation Officer John Steinbach says the bear ran in front of a sheriff ’s cruiser and into a cornfield as he and the deputies were out looking in the area. Officials say the bear has shown no signs of aggression and is not considered a threat, although those who spot the animal should keep their distance.

Grassley supporting grandson for Iowa ag secretary DES MOINES — U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley is firmly behind his grandson as a candidate to replace Bill Northey as Iowa’s secretary of agriculture.

Northey has been nominated to an undersecretary post at the U.S. Department of Agriculture and is widely expected to be confirmed. State Rep. Pat Grassley, a Republican from New Hartford, has acknowledged his interest in succeeding Northey. Chuck Grassley said Wednesday his grandson’s experience as a farmer and state legislator make him qualified to lead the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship.

DES MOINES — A judge won’t let a Des Moines woman use Iowa’s new “stand your ground” defense against charges that she killed her stepfather. The law says a person doesn’t have to retreat before using deadly force if the person thinks his or her life is being threatened. Sera Alexander’s lawyer had argued that Alexander should be allowed to use the law although it took effect July 1, nearly two months after Anthony Hartmann was slain May 8. Alexander is accused of shooting to death Hartmann in the basement of her family’s Des Moines home.

5 Cedar Falls boy accused of

CEDAR FALLS — A 16-year-old Cedar Falls boy faces charges after police say he took photos of a younger teen changing clothes.

The boy was charged last Friday with dissemination of obscene material to minors and exploitation of a minor, both misdemeanors.

The case was referred to juvenile court. Police say the incident took place last year when a 13-year-old girl was photographed with an electronic device while changing.

Vietnam Vets eligible for commemorative book

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News Members of the Veterans Affairs Commission voted Wednesday afternoon to allow former Jasper County Vietnam Veterans to receive a copy of the 50th anniversary Vietnam book that director Kurt Jackson has been distributing.

Previously, the books were only available to current residents of Jasper County, but after receiving numerous phone calls from veterans who’ve retired and now live outside of Jasper County they decided to allow those veterans to receive a book as well.

Released to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the war, the book is being distributed by the Veterans Affairs Commission in Jasper county. Jackson said that the goal is for every Vietnam veteran in the state to eventually receive a copy of the book. There are more than 1200 veterans who

served during Vietnam living in Jasper county.

To receive a copy of the book veterans need to contact Jackson and provide him with a copy of their DD214 form.

Identifying those veterans has been difficult for Jackson however. He started off with an initial allotment of 600 books from the first printing run, and his office is full of boxes. In June, Jackson distributed 66 books, 24 in July and 45 in August. He’s been hanging flyers across the county, and advertising in the Newton Daily News. Still, hundreds of books remain to be distributed.

Marta Ford, president of the VA Commission said she’s heard complaints from former residents who were unable to get a book, and asked Jackson during Wednesday’s meeting what he planned to do with the remaining books.

“Their home of records was Iowa, they chose to live here for 60

years, they’re still entitled to a book,” Ford said.

When Jackson told her that he only allowed to give a book to veterans currently living in the county Ford replied, “Well, I think that’s a crime.”

Since the books are provided by the state, and intended to be given out to veterans for free, there isn’t an option for those who wish to purchase a copy of the book. The initial printing cost was $10 per book, although Jackson estimated that cost would triple for a subsequent, smaller printing run. Commissioner Fred Dimon agreed with

David Dolmage/Daily News Director of the Jasper County Affairs Commission Kurt Jackson speaks as Veterans Affairs Commission President Marta Ford reviews the director’s report during the monthly meeting on Wednesday.

Ford, and said he was in favor of honoring the requests that Jackson has received.

“Even if they don’t live here now they’re still entitled to a book,” Dimon said.

While Jackson said he’s in favor of allowing veterans who are no longer residents of the county to receive a book, he’s concerned the organization will run into trouble if he hands out the books after being told he wasn’t able to.

The Farmer’s Wife celebrates 15 years

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A small business in Newton’s downtown, The Farmer’s Wife, provides decor and gifts at its fun, eye-catching location on the northwest corner of the square. Owner Bonnie Terpstra is celebrating 15 years in business and recently had a fall open house thanking her loyal customers for their years of patronage.

“I have a lot of loyal customers that have been with me from the beginning and when they see it is 15 years, they say ‘it can’t be that long,’” Terpstra said. “That is why I am here, for the customers. Getting the return customers and the accolades that they give me keeps me going.”

Terpstra opened the shop a decade and a half ago as a way to showcase her crafting without traveling to craft shows throughout the year.

“I have always done crafts in my garage and I would take them to craft shows during the weekend,” Terpstra said. “I just decided it is a lot of work to pack up all of the crafts, take them to shows, sit there and then pack it all back up and then do the same thing again. I just wanted a location where I could stay and not have to do all of the packing and unpacking and it has grown into what it is today.”

During her time in Newton, the city has experienced dramatic changes and it wasn’t always easy for the small business owner, she said.

While times may have been challenging, The Farmer’s Wife contin-

ued bringing beautiful decor options to her loyal shoppers.

“Definitely retail has taken a downturn from what it was with the loss of Maytag and the recession we had but I’m very stubborn and just try to keep on keeping on and hopefully we see an upward swing,” Terpstra said. “We need events. Having extra things going on downtown, getting exposure, events help with that.”

Terpstra has been involved in multiple organizations working to bring improvements to downtown and grow the market base in Newton. From 2008 to 2011, she served as the Newton Area Chamber of Commerce chair, has served on the downtown SSMID board since 2013, the Newton Main Street design com-

mittee since 2014 and the downtown micro-grant board since 2016.

“I think it takes all of us working together to keep it going,” Terpstra said.

While styles have changed over the past 15 years and the inventory has grown to cover every inch of the 3,000 square foot shop, Terpstra is still excited about what is to come in the next 15 years.

“I am humbled and overwhelmed by the outpouring of support I have be given over the past 15 years,” Terpstra said. “Again thank you for the patronage in past 15 years and allowing me to serve you in years to come.”

my hands are tied here, what happens if you get called on this,” asked Jackson.

“What are they going to do, send us back to Vietnam,” Dimon asked.

Ford agreed, and she said she isn’t concerned about whatever trouble might be in the future. After looking at the stacks of books still waiting to be distributed, Commissioners aren’t sure that there are 1,200 Vietnam veterans still living in Jasper County. Jackson said the number is based of

a census count, but he’s convinced the county isn’t anywhere near accurate. He said it’s unlikely that the state will consider a second printing run, since so many books remain to be distributed.

“The worst thing that can happen is that they’re going to slap us on the hands and tell us not to do that, we’re an autonomous group,” Jackson said.

Iowa officials likely won’t reopen shuttered prisons DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa prison officials don’t plan to reopen four prison facilities with room for hundreds of inmates that had been temporarily closed because of budget cuts.

The three satellite prison units in Harpers Ferry, Clarinda and Fort Madison as well as a community corrections facility in Sheldon won’t be considered for reopening in the state Department of Corrections’ 2018 budget request to the Legislature, The Des Moines Register reported .

Corrections Director Jerry Bartruff ordered the closures in February to comply with a $5.5 million budget reduction.

The Luster Heights prison camp near Harpers Ferry has been returned to its owner, the state Department of Natural Resources, said Iowa prison spokesman Cord Overton.

DNR spokesman Alex Murphy said the department’s parks bureau is evaluating the Luster Heights facilities to see if repairs are needed and if future use could be an option.

Overton said staff at all the locations were offered positions elsewhere in the department.

The decision not to reopen was likely because of budget issues and a decrease in inmates in the prison system, said State Sen. Michael Breitbach, R-Strawberry Point.

Iowa’s prisons had more than 8,300 inmates on Sept. 12, down from nearly 8,800 inmates six years ago. However, the institutions are still currently considered to be 14 percent overcrowded.

Marty Ryan, a lobbyist for the Justice Reform Consortium, a prison advocacy group, said he’s disappointed in the decision not to reopen the facilities, which were intended to rehabilitate inmates and ease their re-entry into the community.

“It looks like we are moving closer to just warehousing people,” Ryan said.

Northey: Iowa farmers gearing up for harvest season DES MOINES — Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented on the Iowa Crop Progress and Condition report released by the USDA National Agricultural Statistical Service. The report is released weekly from April through October.

“Farmers continue to gear up for another harvest and we’re seeing more activity in fields across the state as about 15 percent of corn and 8 percent of soybeans have reached maturity,” Northey said. “Moving into harvest season, the crop is very

variable across the state with 60 percent of corn and 61 percent of soybeans rated as good to excellent condition.”

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.

IowaAgriculture.gov or on USDA’s site at www.nass.usda.gov/ ia. The report summary follows here: Crop Report It was another dry week in Iowa with only localized showers during the week end-

ing Sept. 10, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Statewide there were 6.8 days suitable for fieldwork. Activities for the week included cutting hay, chopping corn for silage, seeding cover crops, hauling grain, and preparing for grain harvest.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 17 percent very short, 32 percent short, 51 percent adequate and 0 percent surplus. South central and southeast Iowa continue to be the driest parts of the state with more than 80 percent of topsoil moisture rat-

ed short to very short. Subsoil moisture levels rated 19 percent very short, 34 percent short, 47 percent adequate and 0 percent surplus.

Seventy-six percent of the corn crop has reached the dent stage or beyond, three days behind the 5-year average. Fifteen percent of corn had reached maturity, six days behind last year and eight days behind average. Corn condition rated 60 percent good to excellent. Forty-seven percent of soybeans were turning color, one day behind average. Eight percent of

soybeans were dropping leaves, four days behind average. Soybean condition rated 61 percent good to excellent.

The third cutting of alfalfa hay was 95 percent complete, over one week ahead of last year. There were some reports of producers starting to cut their fourth crop of alfalfa. Pasture conditions declined to 41 percent poor to very poor due to continued dry conditions slowing growth. Livestock conditions remained good, with reports of cattlemen weaning calves.

Please recycle your old newspapers.

You’re ready to buy your first home and you want to be sure you’ll qualify for a loan, but where do you start?

Paying off debt is key, say real estate experts. But there is a right way and a wrong way to do so.

Your debt-to-income ratio is your gross monthly income divided by your total monthly debt, including a house payment. Your DTI should not exceed 43 percent in order to qualify for a conventional mortgage, according to realtor. com, which notes that some lenders may require even lower DTI ratios, especially if you have a low credit score or little cash.

If your credit card debt is too high, you may not be able to qualify for a mortgage, although FHA loans may allow a higher DTI ratio.

If you can afford it, pay off your debts, especially credit card debt. But make sure you

SM-NE5194335-0914

have enough cash for your down payment, closing costs, and any unforeseen expenses. Don’t use your down payment fund to pay down your credit cards because it can lower your credit score and DTI ratio since you no longer have that money in the bank, says realtor.com.

If you do pay off a credit card, do not cancel it.

Cancelling a credit card can also affect your credit, and ultimately, your chances of being approved for a mortgage because it reduces the total amount of credit available to you. And don’t consolidate all your debt on one credit card.

You’ll have a higher credit score with a low balance on several cards.

In addition to improving your chances for obtaining a mortgage loan, the higher your credit score, the lower your interest rate. Realtor.com advises that If your credit score is under 700, paying off some debt can improve your score.

If it’s 640 or lower, you may qualify for an FHA loan Barb Barr ReMax Real Estate Concepts 120 N. 2nd Avenue West Newton, IA 50208 641.521.0512 www.barbbarr.com

Run vs. Pass: Newton hosts Burlington

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Newton High’s Cardinals dealt with the two H’s this week — homecoming and heat.

“It has been warmer this week for practices and the players have handled it pretty well. Also, there’s always distractions with all the activities of homecoming,” Newton head football coach Ed Ergenbright said. “We want our players to have fun this week, which is what homecoming is about.

We make it Pregame clear when Outlook they come to practice, the focus is on football only.”

The Cardinals have a tough opponent coming to H.A. Lynn Stadium for Friday’s homecoming game. Burlington’s Grayhounds are 0-3 but bring a strong team into the 7:30 p.m. contest with the Cardinals (3-0). It’s the final non-district game for the two Class 4A teams.

On Friday, Ergenbright’s Cardinals will deal with the heat, homecoming and a hungry Grayhound team. The Grayhounds are led by three very skilled offensive seniors in quarterback LT. Beck, wide receiver Mason Leinbach and running back Tykel Gordon.

“He’s a handful,” Ergenbright said of 6-foot-1 inch, 205-pound Beck. “He is left handed so he likes to go to his left, but he can scramble out of pressure situations and make plays. He can run. His receivers see him scrambling and they break down field for him to throw over people. He poses a challenge for us.”

Beck is 48-of-86 passing this season for 423 yards with

Free shuttle service again A free shuttle service will again be offered for Newton High football fans going to the to Friday’s football game between the Cardinals and Burlington.

Fans can park their cars at NHS and get free shuttle service to and from H.A. Lynn Stadium Friday from 6:30 to 10 p.m. Cardinal Express Shuttle will drop fans off at the east gate of the stadium for the game.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s Cardinals face their third dual-threat quarterback in as many football games on Friday when Burlington’s Grayhounds come to H.A. Lynn Stadium. Newton senior Austin Romberg, left, has a bead on Des Moines North quarterback Tre’Vawn Jarrett (1) in last week’s home game. Romberg and the Cardinal defense face Burlington’s L.T. Beck this week.

three touchdown passes and three interceptions. He has rushed for a minus-9 yards on 26 carries, but scored the ‘Hounds’ two rushing TDs. Beck’s favorite target is the 5-foot-11, 180-pound Leinbach, who has 19 catches for 186 yards.

Offensively, Newton’s strength is its running game, rushing for 1,122 yards and averaging 7.6 yards a carry and led by five different players. The Cardinals haven’t had to go to the air much in their first three games, raking up 158 yards.

Burlington’s offensive strength is its passing game triggered by Beck. The Grayhounds have rushed for 250 yards, a 2.8-yard per carry average, this season. Gordon, who

is a 5-foot-10 and 190 pounds, is the leading rusher with 120 yards on 32 carries and has a kickoff return for a touchdown.

Defensively, the Cardinals have struggled a bit in defending the pass, giving up 422 passing yards this season.

Ergenbright was pleased how his defense responded a week ago against a scrambling, passing quarterback after having a tough outing at Waterloo East.

Newton has only allowed 198 yards rushing in three games compared to more than 600 rushing yards allowed by Burlington. Burlington’s top four tacklers are seniors with double-digit tackle totals.

“They presented three different defensive front looks against us last year. We’ve been practicing against the

two we think we’ll face, but I believe we can make gametime adjustments,” Ergenbright said. “I think we match up well against them.”

Newton is adjusting to a couple of injuries suffered in last week’s home opener. Junior defensive end Mason Lee is out for the season with an ankle injury. Senior split end Trevor Ergenbright has a upper-rib injury which will sideline him.

Junior Lazarus Frisch is slotted to fill the void left by Lee at defensive end.

“Lazarus played the entire second half for us last week and is a very athletic player. We had Quintrail Coley, who we thought would give us more depth on the defensive front, come back out but he broke his foot in practices

last week,” Ergenbright said.

“With the loss of Trevor, we have enough skills guys to switch people around to help filling that spot.”

Ergenbright said the Cardinals have been focused on getting better in all phases of the game this week. He said he was pleased with the way they’ve locked in on preparing for Burlington.

“This is the kind of team we need to face right now. Burlington will give us a challenge after losing fairly close games to 4A teams in the Davenport area,” Ergenbright said. “It will help us get ready for district play, facing quality personnel much like we’ll see in district games.

“I’ve told our guys homecoming is always much more fun when you win the game on Friday. We’ve told them have fun, but remember we need to take care of business Friday night.”

PCM looks to continue dominance in Class 2A District 6

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News The Prairie City-Monroe football team didn’t have much trouble cruising through Class 2A District 6 competition last season.

The Mustangs outscored the rest of the league 371-22 in going unbeaten and claiming their first district title in five years.

That trend continued last week when PCM drilled Albia, 61-6. That was seven points better than last year’s win over the Blue Demons.

If the 2A No. 9 Mustangs are to continue to be dominant, they’ll have to beat a Centerville team coming off a 41-0 win over Clarke last week.

“I think Centerville is go-

Area Prep Football Game Previews ing to come in with plenty of confidence,” PCM coach Greg Bonnett said. “I think they know they have a good, quick offensive line and some playmakers that can go up and make catches when they throw the deep ball.”

Centerville opened the season with losses to 1A Central Decatur (30-10) and 1A No. 6 Pleasantville (40-7). Most of the offensive production this season came in the win over the Indians last week.

“I have always thought Centerville is a solid team year in and year out, and they were 1 of the 16 playoff teams last year,” Bonnett said. “I don’t think anybody is overlooking them, including us,”

Cy-Hawk Classic That was a fantastic game. Probably the best Cy-Hawk game ever.

I hate hyperbole. But no other game, in my lifetime for sure, had what that game had on Saturday.

The 2002 game featured what appears to be better teams. The triple overtime game won by Iowa State in Ames a few years back had more overtimes.

But Saturday’s game had it all.

Iowa goes from up 11 to down 10 very quickly. As soon I one team seemed to be in control, the other one came up with a huge play.

Iowa State came up with two huge stops defensively and then Jacob Park went to work through the air for the Cyclones.

David Montgomery and Akrum Wadley exchanged spectacular plays from the backfield.

Centerville’s spread offense is guided by two quarterbacks who share time evenly. Freshman Brady Kauzlarich is 12of-24 for 207 yards with one touchown and one interception, and sophomore Quinton Koestner is 14-of-28 for 176 yards with two scores and one pick.

The team’s top receiver is senior Zac Kratofil, who has seven catches for 152 yards and two TDs. Sophomore McCaine Oden leads the rushing attack with 154 yards and two scores.

“They want to pass the ball to set up the run,” Bonnett said. “They are going to spread you out with empty formations and make you vacate the

This & That Troy Hyde Park and Iowa quarterback Nate Stanley matched each other yard for yard and score for score almost.

No one expected Iowa to be able to throw the ball like that.

Not many on the other side thought the Cyclones’ defense was capable of making so plays in succession to slow down Iowa’s running game.

In the end, Iowa made a few more plays than Iowa State did and came out on top for the third straight season.

I had a front-row seat for the entire game. It was hot. I was tired and not feeling the best. But it was worth it.

I don’t know if they’ll play this game forever.

I don’t know if both teams benefit in the long run by playing the game.

But that game Saturday was spectacular for both fan bases.

Newton’s own Nick Easley scored

box to cover everybody and that is when they strike with their RB or QB running it.

“I like their scheme, and I think it presents challenges that gives our defense an opportunity to be forced to adjust and communicate throughout the game.”

While many of the offensive skill position players at Centerville are underclassmen, nine of the top 11

another touchdown and caught seven passes on the day.

I knew he would be a guy Iowa could count on this season. I didn’t predict he’d be the team’s leading receiver through two games.

He’s also the first receiver to play for Kirk Ferentz that caught touchdown passes in his first two career games.

Right now, he’s making it look Easley.

Both teams should be able to have some fun this week.

North Texas is better than the team Iowa blew out a few years back that was coached by Dan McCarney. But the Mean Green, who played in a bowl game last year, are still a ways away from shocking the Hawkeyes.

Iowa State will play on the road for the first time this season, but Akron likely is a middle of the pack MAC school. The Zips (1-1) lost 52-0 to Penn State and blew out Arkansas-Pine Bluff, 52-3, in their first two games.

It would be nice if both teams got to rest starters in the second half. Depth can be an issue for both programs and

tacklers are seniors. Stephen Wardlow leads the Big Red’s defense with 20 1/2 tackles.

Jaxson Ocker, a junior, has four interceptions.

Bonnett hopes the Mustangs’ offense can be balanced Friday night.

“Centerville always brings a physical front with blitzers all day long,” Bonnett said.

“I think their defense is improved over last year as far as coverage goes. It seems like they have some perimeter players that will get after you.

We are excited to play against this defense.”

The Mustang offense is led by junior quarterback Reed Worth, who has thrown for 431 yards and six touchdowns in two games.

PREP PREVIEWS | 2B

any rest they can get throughout the season is a good thing.

Iowa jumps out to an early lead against North Texas. This is the first game we see a dominant rushing attack.

Akrum Wadley won’t have to touch the ball 25 times for the Hawks to win.

James Butler will have his first 100yard game, and Iowa fans get to see Toren Young carry the ball, too.

Prediction: Iowa 38, North Texas 10.

I don’t see Akron being able to slow down the Cyclones at all. Iowa State has scored more than 40 points in each of the first two games and I don’t see that streak ending this weekend.

Like Iowa, the Cyclones should be able to win this one on the ground.

Iowa State’s offensive line does pass block better than they run block so Park may need to throw it 30 times for them to get to that 40-point mark.

Either way, Iowa State rolls. Prediction: Iowa State 45, Akron 17.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa State sophomore running back David Montgomery, right, has rushed for 194 yards and three touchdowns in the Cyclones’ first two games of fhe season.

Cyclone RB David Montgomery off to strong start

AMES (AP) — Iowa State appears to finally have the kind of potent offense it will need to compete in Big 12 play.

Sophomore running back David Montgomery is a big reason why.

Montgomery has emerged as a star for the Cyclones, rushing for 194 yards and three touchdowns in two games, averaging 5.7 yards per carry. He also caught a career-high five passes for 53 yards in last weekend’s 44-41 overtime loss to Iowa. The performance included a memorable score in which he evaded and bowled over numerous defenders — including preseason All-American Josey Jewell — on a short touchdown run.

Montgomery and Iowa State (1-1) travel to face Akron (1-1) on Saturday in search of its third straight 40-point game, something the program hasn’t accomplished since 1976.

“I don’t know (what his ceiling is). The one thing I do know is that he’ll get to that point because of who he is and what his work ethic is,” Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said. “What you see from (Montgomery) through even in these first two games is the work ethic and the commitment to himself and his team.”

The 5-foot-11, 220-pound Montgomery is also a prime example of an undervalued recruit thriving after being given an opportunity — and quickly emerging as a leader for a rebuilding program.

Montgomery was a bit tough to project coming out of high school in Cincinnati, where he rushed for 2,707 yards and 41 TDs as a dual-threat quarterback.

Montgomery chose Iowa State over Illinois, Indiana and Purdue and made the transition to running back, where he figured to have at

least a year to bulk up while sitting behind starter Mike Warren. But as Warren battled through a high ankle sprain late in 2016, Montgomery became a starter and flourished.

Montgomery averaged 113.7 yards per game and 6.1 yards per carry in Iowa State’s last three games last year, when the Cyclones went 2-1.

“David’s just a monster. We don’t think he’s human,” Iowa State quarterback Jacob Park said.

Warren, who led all freshmen nationally in rushing yards in 2015, is healthy again. But Montgomery has gotten the bulk of the carries so far this season, and he ranks third in the Big 12 in rushing yards and fourth in all-purpose yards.

“What he does in terms of the heartbeat for this program and this team, outside of those great runs, it’s nothing short of incredible for a young guy to be able to do that,” Campbell said.

Montgomery has already forced a couple dozen missed tackles this season — but his touchdown run against Iowa showed what he can do when defenses catch up to him.

After taking a pitch from Park, Montgomery dusted off a pair of would-be tackles before getting stood up by Jewell, one of the nation’s surest tacklers.

Montgomery used his strength and leverage to get the ball across the goal line with Jewell’s hands still on his jersey.

Montgomery finished with 112 yards on 20 carries against Iowa, which figures to have one of the Big Ten’s best rush defenses.

“I just closed my eyes and kept running. That’s really all you can do,” Montgomery said. “I just kind of took advantage of it and just drove.”

Indians claim 21st straight win CLEVELAND (AP) — For more than 100 years, American League teams have gone on winning streaks of varying lengths — short ones, long ones, double-digit ones. Nothing, though, like the one the Cleveland Indians have pieced together.

Moving past the “Moneyball” Oakland Athletics, the Indians set the AL record with their 21st straight win on Wednesday, 5-3 over the Detroit Tigers, to join only two other teams in the past 101 years to win that many consecutive games.

Jay Bruce hit a three-run homer and Mike Clevinger (10-5) won his fourth straight start as the Indians matched the 1935 Chicago Cubs for the second-longest streak since 1900.

Colfax-Mingo (1-3, 0-1) at Belle Plaine (2-1, 1-0), 7 p.m.

Two South Iowa Cedar League foes will battle this week in a Class A District 5 football contest. The last time Colfax-Mingo and Belle Plaine played another SICL team, both were in wins over North Mahaska.

The Tigerhawks and Plainsmen appear to be pretty even on paper. Colfax-Mingo defeated North Mahaska 50-22 one week after Belle Plaine knocked off the Warhawks 49-14.

Belle Plaine has rushed for 826 yards in three games this season but 379 of those came in last week’s win over winless Grand View Christian.

The Tigerhawks’ No. 1 concern on defense is slowing down dual-threat quarterback Garrett Straight, who has thrown for 162 yards and rushed for 199 yards. Straight has three passing TDs and five rushing TDs. Tanner Meeks has 263 rushing yards and Travin Straight has totaled 208 rushing yards.

Belle Plaine’s defense is led by Brandon Van Nevel, who has 21 1/2 tackles and a fumble recovery.

The Tigerhawks have done most of their damage in the air this season.

Senior Reegan Van Dyke has thrown for 511 yards and six scores while also rushing for 136 yards and a TD. Van Dyke’s top two targets have been senior Alex Lewis (14 catches, 197 yards and three scores) and junior Zarek Hill (11 catches, 127 yards and a TD).

The Tigerhawk defense has seven interceptions, three sacks and four fumble recoveries. Leading the defense is senior Jake Dunsbergen, who has 23 1/2 tackles.

Baxter (2-1) at East Union (3-0), 7 p.m.

This 8-man football game should be contrasting styles as Baxter’s passing game will try to outscore an East Union squad which does most of its damage on the ground.

Baxter senior Braydon Aker ranks second in 8-man with 662 passing yards and is tied for second with 12 touchdown passes. He’s also rushed for 120 yards and three scores.

Aker will need to have another big game as the Bolts face an East Union team who has outscored its first three opponents 144-26. Two of East Union’s three games were shutouts.

The Eagles are led by running back Matthew Wittstock, who has 331 rushing yards and four TDs on the season. Wittstock is averaging 5.7 yards per rush, and he also has a kick return touchdown.

Five of East Union’s top seven tacklers are seniors.

The Eagles have three interceptions, seven sacks and a defensive TD on the season.

Aker will look to challenge East Union with skilled receivers on the outside.

Senior Travis Lindemoen ranks fourth in the state with 358 receiving yards and ranks third with six touchdowns. Sophomore Cole Damman also has 13 catches for 147 yards and five scores.

A trio of seniors lead the Bolts’ defense. Marcus Mitchell has 18 tackles and three tackles for loss, Jusson Roush has 17 tackles and three tackles for loss and Aker sits at 14 tackles and one sack.

The Bolts will likely be without starting linemen Will Clapper, Bryce Bacon and Brandon Hammer another week because of injuries.

Lynnville-Sully (3-0, 1-0) at Cardinal (1-2, 1-0), 7 p.m.

Lynnville-Sully has allowed 38 points in three games this season. Cardinal has scored just 36 points in its three games.

Cardinal is led by quarterback Trey Albert, who has thrown for 217 yards and four TDs. Cardinal has rushed for 321 yards.

The Hawks, who defeated Cardinal 53-0 last season, is as balanced in the running game as any team in the state can be. Four players have gained at least 100 yards on the ground, and L-S has 714 rushing yards as a team.

Senior Sage Zylstra leads the Hawks on both sides of the ball. He has 184 rushing yards and two scores on offense and has 20 tackles, seven tackles for loss and a sack on defense.

Junior Nate Stock has three rushing TDs and junior Gage Vander Leest has two rushing touchdowns, 20 tackles and a punt return touchdown.

The Hawk defense has eight sacks, two interceptions and seven fumble recoveries this season.

TODAY!

Astrograph

The ancients regarded volcanoes as gods’ anger. Nowadays we know it’s just nature’s way of letting off pressure. This knowledge doesn’t make the blow any less destructive, although we can often be forewarned. As the passionate Cancer moon opposes Pluto, when you come across emotional volcanoes, flee the danger zone.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.

14). There’s a rebelliousness that accompanies this solar return, and you’ll overturn the status quo to get more control over your destiny. A flight of fancy will turn into something lucrative at year’s end. You’ll form a tight team

for a victory that serves all in January. Something you lost will return to you in 2018. Leo and Gemini adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 18, 45, 22 and 37.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Unsure which way to go, the temptation will be to fit into a group and march on. Don’t be so quick to fall in line today.

There’s more for you! Dare to slow down (and stick out) for a minute to observe less obvious options.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

When someone near seems a little blue, you hope to overturn the trend with your compassion and maybe a little

levity. Hopefully you’ll do this without setting up an expectation of becoming this person’s 24/7 emotional babysitter.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You believe that what’s worth having is worth working for.

But what about when the ones who are doing the work are not the same ones doing the having? Try to set the unfair situation right.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Maybe there are times when it’s appropriate to make a sacrifice, but not now. Rest assured there will be absolutely no benefit to sacrificing your plans for the sake of entwining your life with someone else’s today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It’s like your mind’s eye is wearing

a bifocal. You’ll slant your head one way to view the big picture and another to catch the small (perhaps bothersome) details. All in all you’ll get an accurate view of the emotional landscape.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

For you it’s rather easy to see the difference between bravado and bravery, between the poseurs and the performers. More naive souls around you will be blind to the signals. Your role: wise protector.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In order to stay inside your own power zone today you’ll need to be aware of the subtle forms of control that people may try to assert. Good news: If they don’t work on you, they won’t be reasserted anytime soon.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Lately you’re conscious of trying to be extremely laidback about relationships. You don’t put others in a position of having to choose between you and the other important things in life, and this will be much appreciated now.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Filmmakers aren’t the only ones who benefit from knowing when to go close and when to back up for the wide angle. When you’re setting something up, it’s important to focus close.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). In the name of wholeness, you’ll be pulling together polarities within you -- strengths and weaknesses, attractions and repulsions, the private and the public parts of your

personality. There’s power in accepting it all.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

You realize that any business you get into is going to have a certain outlay that you’ll have to recoup before you make a profit. Go for the sweat-based instead of the cash-based investment. You’ll learn more.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Your tolerance for boredom is low now and getting lower by the hour. This will work in your favor, as you’ll go out of your way to create fun and excitement. Just keep it positively focused!

Fantasy Football Matchups

Load up on Raiders vs. bad Jets defense

T

he NFL’s No. 1 scoring offense after one week of the 2017 season is the Rams while 2016 juggernauts — New Orleans, Dallas, Washington and Green Bay — were held to 19 points or fewer. The struggle to avoid overreacting to it all is real, thus our focus is on what may actually be sustainable, unlike the early offensive struggles of Drew Brees and Tom Brady and slow starts, albeit resulting in wins, for the Packers and Falcons. Sunday’s clashes for fantasy big boys — New England and Atlanta seeking redemption versus the Saints and Packers, respectively — while the stuff of fantasy legend are as exploitable as it gets. With projected point totals hovering near the mid50s they won’t be mentioned again in this column.

MATCHUPS TO EXPLOIT Oakland Raiders

more solid outings to enter the standard league starting discussion. But as long as the Chiefs line up Marcus Peters exclusively on one side of the field and struggle to find answers at the nickel spot and replacing Eric Berry, opponents will attack the middle and deep left, where Wentz’s big plays came a week ago.

Don’t laugh: Nelson Agholor, coming off his best game as a pro, is a WR3 this week and Zach Ertz, not Travis Kelce, is a top-five TE. MUST START: TE Zach Ertz SOLID PLAY: RB LeGarrette Blount, WRs Alshon Jeffery and Nelson Agholor WORTH A LOOK: QB Carson Wentz, RB Darren Sproles, WR Torrey Smith

Seattle Seahawks OPP: VS SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS Limited to nine points at Lambeau Field in an intense potential NFC championship preview, Seattle returns home to take out its frustrations on a rival Niners ‘D’ that lost rookie standout Reuben Foster to injury in a Week 1 game vs. Carolina.

Russell Wilson took a beating last week but seemingly emerged no worse for the wear and reached 40 rushing yards for just the third time since Week 15 of the 2015 season. Thomas Rawls is set to make his debut after missing last week with a high ankle sprain, but don’t be surprised when Chris Carson again leads the Seahawks backfield after collecting 49 scrimmage yards on just seven touches. Like Carson’s, Paul Richardson’s numbers don’t jump out, but his usage — 4-59 receiving on seven targets, tied for a team high — is noteworthy.

MUST START: QB Russell Wilson, WR Doug Baldwin, TE Jimmy Graham SOLID PLAY: RB Thomas Rawls WORTH A LOOK: RB Chris Carson, WR Paul Richardson

Minnesota Vikings OPP: AT PITTSBURGH STEELERS Sam Bradford is coming off the best game of his eight-year career, a 346-yard, three-touchdown undressing of the hapless Saints. Chalk it up to the Saints ‘D’ if you’d like, but we’ll point to Bradford’s 312-yard, two-TD average over his past five games dating back to last season and call it a trend — and an encouraging one for Vikings fans. The Steelers’ ‘D’ had issues putting away rookie DeShone Kizer in his NFL debut and could be without top interior rusher Stephon Tuitt. Don’t be surprised when Minnesota does an uncanny impersonation of the opposing offense again this week.

MUST START: RB Dalvin Cook, WRs Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen, TE Kyle Rudolph SOLID PLAY: QB Sam Bradford WORTH A LOOK: Vikings D/ ST

MATCHUPS TO AVOID Houston Texans OPP: AT CINCINNATI BENGALS Deshaun Watson provided an undeniable spark after itchy-trigger-fingered Bill O’Brien yanked the starter less than one-half into the Tom Savage era in Houston.

Yet, dealing with an ankle

injury and a short week to prepare for a feisty Bengals ‘D,’ Watson, and more so the Houston offensive line, makes playing any Texans this week a gamble. Lamar Miller and DeAndre Hopkins belong in lineups solely based on their anticipated volume, and Cincinnati was bad defending the run a week ago and remains without suspended LB Vontaze Burfict. But Miller hasn’t rediscovered his Miami explosiveness with the Texans, and Hopkins draws a tough Bengals secondary.

MUST START: RB Lamar Miller, WR DeAndre Hopkins SOLID PLAY: Texans D/ST LAST RESORT: QB Deshaun Watson

Buffalo Bills OPP: AT CAROLINA PANTHERS New coach, same old ground-and-pound approach for the Bills, who piled up 190 yards behind LeSean McCoy, Tyrod Taylor and, yes, FB Mike Tolbert en route to a win over the Jets in Sean McDermott’s successful debut.

The play of Taylor in particular was encouraging, but we’d still suggest his owners sit this one out. The Panthers jumped out to an early lead last week against another rebuilding ‘D’ in San Francisco, relegating the Niners to four rushing attempts after halftime (insert your own Kyle Shanahan joke here), and this week should play out similarly.

MUST START: RB LeSean McCoy WORTH A LOOK: Bills D/ST LAST RESORT: WRs Jordan Matthews and Zay Jones, FB Mike Tolbert, FB Charles Clay

Detroit Lions OPP: AT NEW YORK GIANTS A pick-six on Matthew Stafford’s first 2017 attempt likely gave Lions fans, if just for a moment, 135 million reasons to worry. But four touchdowns, 292 yards and his 29th career fourthquarter/overtime comeback later, they’re undoubtedly feeling pretty good about their clutch, freshly minted franchise passer. We don’t feel great about his Week 2 encore. The Cardinals defense Stafford lit up is talented but also transitioning and dealt with a short deck because of the Lions’ out-

Marshawn Lynch

OPP: AT NEW YORK JETS The Raiders are giving Gang Green 14 points at home tying them with Seattle as Week 2’s biggest favorites after Derek Carr picked up vs. the Titans where he left off before breaking his leg in an MVP-caliber 2016.

It says here what happened in Nashville won’t stay in Nashville; Las Vegas, er Oakland, will keep lighting up the scoreboard through the air against another secondary with wholesale changes.

Carr is a top-10 QB, Amari Cooper is a top-five wideout and owners with TE issues can even consider Jared Cook (5-56 on five targets in his black-and-silver debut) after Charles Clay of all people was a high-end play vs. the Jets’ rookie safeties. Oh yeah, Marshawn Lynch in his regular-season Oakland debut vs. a run ‘D’ that surrendered the most yards in Week 1? How could you not be about that action, boss?
