NDC tapped for larger role in city economic development

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Newton Development Corporation is taking on a larger role in the community’s economic development sector. City council approved NDC to serve as the lead agency on half of the Newton community on industrial and commercial business recruitment and expansion.

“This item is a part of the reorganization that we presented at the last meeting. We eliminated the department of economic development Muckler and the position of economic development director,” city administrator Matt Muckler said. “We’ve asked NDC to step up and take on a larger role in terms of economic development than they have done before. We will be asking NDC to be the lead agency on behalf of the Newton community when it comes Liebl to commercial and industrial development, whether it is expanding local businesses that are here now or working to bring in new business to Newton and expanding our tax base.”

With the increased role, the corporation will also receive an additional $25,000 in TIF revenues to go along with the $75,000 already allocated for fiscal year 2017-2018. A portion of those funds, approximately $35,000, is slated to come from the 7 percent City of Newton Hotel/Motel Tax. Primary activities NDC will be expected to lead include helping retain the jobs currently located in Newton, provide expansion opportunities to local industry and business NDC | 3A

Republicans take aim at annual trap shoot event

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News

The fourth annual Jasper County Republicans trap shooting fundraiser started off with a bang on Saturday morning as residents took aim at clay pigeons. The event, which gives residents a chance to meet and mingle with Republican representatives drew a crowd despite wet, rainy weather. Jasper County Republican chair Thad Nearmyer said the event, one of the group’s biggest fundraisers, is one the most important of the year.

“We want to get people who are

excited about celebrating the Second Amendment,” Nearmyer said.

While Nearmyer admitted he’s much more interested in sprint car racing than shooting, having the chance to take home a trophy for bragging rights is something that most folks can’t pass up. In recent years, the group has also added additional activities to the event to give it more of a tailgating feel to match the fall weather. Moo’s BBQ brought plenty of food, and attendees could listen to the Iowa State game on the radio between shotgun blasts.

Have rusty junk? Well it could soon be rusty gold with the help of the TV show “American Pickers.” The popular cable show has announced it is searching for leads on locations for filming in Iowa during October.

Filmed all over the U.S., “American Pickers” follows Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz from Antique Archeology as they work to find antiques and collectibles.

The items are “picked” then sold in their stores located in LeClaire and Nashville, Tenn., or to private buyers. The pickers’ travels and finds are filmed and aired on the

History Channel.

Wolfe, Fritz and team are looking for private collections in search of old advertising signage, motorcycle, bicycles made prior to 1960s, pinball and slot machines, vintage movie memorabilia, old rodeo items, pre-1940s telephones, Houdini items, sports memorabilia, vintage BB guns, pre1940s Christmas items, vintage gas pumps, strange woodcarvings and vintage collegiate collectibles among other things.

COLFAX — The good times kept rolling in Colfax despite wet, rainy weather on Saturday night. More than 150 residents turned out to Rock the Quarry, an annual fundraiser for Colfax’s Quarry Park.

Colfax Mayor David Mast said organizers decided to move the event indoors after looking at the weather forecast Saturday morning while setting up for the event, which featured several bands, a food truck and a beer garden. After holding the first event last September, Mast

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Monday, Sept. 18, the 261st day of 2017. There are 104 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 18, 1947, the National Security Act, which created a National Military Establishment and the position of Secretary of Defense, went into effect.

On this date: In A.D. 14, the Roman Senate officially confirmed Tiberius as the second emperor of the Roman Empire, succeeding the late Augustus.

In 1793, President George Washington laid the cornerstone of the U.S. Capitol.

In 1927, the Columbia Phonograph Broadcasting System (later CBS) made its on-air debut with a basic network of 16 radio stations.

In 1931, an explosion in the Chinese city of Mukden damaged a section of Japanese-owned railway track; Japan, blaming Chinese nationalists, invaded Manchuria the next day.

In 1970, rock star Jimi Hendrix died in London at age 27.

In 1975, newspaper heiress Patricia Hearst was captured by the FBI in San Francisco, 19 months after being kidnapped by the Symbionese Liberation Army.

Five years ago: Chicago teachers voted to suspend their strike and return to the classroom after more than a week on picket lines, ending a combative stalemate with Mayor Rahm Emanuel over evaluations and job security.

One year ago: At the United Nations, the United States, Japan and South Korea roundly condemned North Korea’s latest nuclear test and called for tough new measures to further isolate the communist state. The Los Angeles Rams defeated the Seattle Seahawks 9-3 at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum in a game that marked the return of pro football to the nation’s second-largest market for the first time in nearly 22 years.

That’s Odd Minnesota univ. teaches philosophy by Harry Potter ST. CLOUD, Minn. (AP) — Minnesota university is mixing the magical world of Harry Potter into philosophy teachings.

St. Cloud State University professor Carolyn Hartz is applying Aristotle’s work on friendship to character relationships in J.K. Rowling’s books about the boy wizard, the St. Cloud Times reported.

The class discusses ethics, logic, love, the human soul and nature while examining the stories.

“These are fundamental human concerns,” Hartz said.

Entertainment ‘Veep’ and ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ win top Emmy Award prizes LOS ANGELES (AP) — The dystopian vision of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” the deeply cynical Washington comedy “Veep” and the ever-topical “Saturday Night Live” won top series honors Sunday in an Emmy Awards ceremony that took almost nonstop aim at President Donald Trump in awards and speeches.

“Go home, get to work, we have a lot of things to fight for,” producer Bruce Miller said in accepting the best drama trophy for “A Handmaid’s Tale,” which also won best drama writing and directing awards and a best actress trophy for Elisabeth Moss. A beaming Margaret Atwood, the Canadian author whose 1985 novel is the show’s source, was onstage.

Sterling K. Brown, whose role in “This Is Us” earned him the top drama series actor trophy, paid tribute to the

“Nineteen years ago, Detective Frank Pember-

ton held this joint,” Brown, hoisting his Emmy and calling it his “supreme honor” to follow Braugher. He was good-natured as the orchestra cut into his speech, but it seemed a glaring misstep

on a night in which the TV academy reveled in signs of the industry’s increasing diversity.

Earlier, Nicole Kidman spoke uninterrupted for 2 minutes and 45 seconds, while Brown got 1 minute, 58 seconds, before he was played off, a significant difference given the short time winners get to say their piece.

Moss captured her first Emmy and thanked her mother in a speech that was peppered with expletives, while Ann Dowd won supporting actress honors for “A Handmaid’s Tale.”

Donald Glover won the best comedy actor for “Atlanta,” which he created and which carries his distinctive voice, while Julia Louis-Dreyfus was honored for a sixth time for her role as a self-absorbed politician in “Veep,” named best comedy for the third time.

“Thank you very much to NDC and your board.

It is such an incredible group of individuals who work so hard for this community and have done a lot to bring in businesses and organizations,” councilwoman Miranda Kulis said. “I am looking forward to this moving forward.”

The NDC was established in 1961 as a privet, nonprofit organization to assist the Newton community as a resource for both existing business owners, future industries interested in the city and potential entrepreneurs. It is lead by executive director Frank Liebl, who has been with NDC for more than 10 years.

“After high school I went to college more to play football than anything else, my parents worked at the plant, and so did a lot of people I went to high school with,” Corbett said.

This is only the second time that Corbett has been able to attend the event, and even though he admitted he was a little rusty, he was still looking forward to participating. Sporting a red and black Newton Cardinals hat, Corbett said after 11 days at the Iowa State Fair and a summer spent campaigning it was good to get back to his roots.

“I love coming back to Newton, and having a chance to see the progress that’s been made since Maytag closed,” Corbett said.

Amy Sinclair, state senator for District 14, said she couldn’t agree more with Corbett. Even though she had to leave early without shooting

Send in the Clowns

Start the Press Abigail Pelzer

There’s no gentle way to put this so I’m going to throw it right out there — I’m the freak who likes clowns. The fondness was actually generated in my childhood and then dissipated in my teenage years, as childlike things do.

It all started with this clown I received as a birthday present when I was probably 6 years old. He was kind of like a porcelain doll with is brightly featured makeup and cap created on the white ceramic and large black boots on the bottom of his white and black clown garb, that featured three giant fuzzy buttons. What I most admired about this clown, who sat in a stand on my bedroom vanity, was the gold knob on his back that played the music box tune “Send in the Clowns.”

So this started a thing, similar to when you receive one Precious Moment figurine, to where I would regularly receive clown stuff. Typically it was little glass figures or other music boxes of sorts. In the end, I had an entire corner of my room dedicated to clowns, capped off with a black and white framed Capezio clown poster I acquired when I started ballet lessons.

At some point, I packed up all the clown stuff and loaded it into a hope chest (which of course features clowns on it) that still sits in a closet at my parents’ house. My next encounter with the collection occurred several years later when my son discovered it and described it as “super creepy.”

Then he told his sisters what a freak

I am. Then all three of them started making fun of me.

More recently, the hoodlums decided we should make a family outing to the movie “It” because apparently, children-eating clown entertainment is right up their alley.

While my affinity for clowns has faded, I was all about this movie, not because I love scary movies, but because it had good reviews and there was a possibility the kids might be terrified. I mean, they really gave me a hard time about this childhood clown collection.

When I discovered Pennywise, or “It” as he is better known, lures children in with red balloons I decided to get some for the kids’ bedrooms before we left for the movie — you know, as a nice gesture for when we arrived home. My best friend described this as “terrifying” and my husband thought it “was a bit much, but let’s do it.”

After collecting the balloons and

making special effort to tie real string instead of the curling ribbon to make them all the more authentic, I placed them with glee and we headed to the show.

There we watched our oldest and youngest kids cling together in horror for most of the film and our middle child sitting with wide eyes and her hand over her mouth for nearly the full two hours and 15 minutes. Everyone thought the movie was really entertaining and all in all, not something that would haunt our dreams.

The downside, my red balloon trick fell flat. The girls didn’t even bother to acknowledge theirs. My son just replied, “Good one, Mom” and then proceeded to obnoxiously bounce it about the house the next couple of days. On the plus side, the kids seem to have forgotten I’m the freak that likes clowns.

Eye on America John Stossel

Blame for disaster “How many once-in-a-lifetime storms will it take,” demands “The Daily Show” comic Trevor Noah, “until everyone admits man-made climate change is real?!”

His audience roars its approval.

When Hurricane Irma hit, so-called friends admonished me, “Look what your fossil fuels have done! Will you finally admit you are wrong?”

No. It’s the alarmists who are wrong — on so many levels.

First, two big storms don’t mean much.

The global warming activists must know that because when Donald Trump joked about a lack of warming on a snowy day, they lectured us about how “weather is not climate — one snowstorm is irrelevant to long-term climate.”

They were right then. But now that bad weather has come, they change their tune.

Time magazine reported confidently, “Climate change makes the hurricane season worse.”

But Irma and Harvey came after a record 12 years without any Category 3-5 storms. Over those 12 years, did Time say the absence of storms proved climate change fear exaggerated? No. Of course not.

It seems logical that warmer water may make storms worse, but there’s no proof of that.

The government’s own National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration says neither its models “nor our analyses of trends in Atlantic hurricane and tropical storm counts over the past 120-plus years support the notion that greenhouse gas-induced warming leads to large increases in either tropical storm or overall hurricane numbers.”

As Irma approached, The Washington Post ran an even dumber headline: “Irma and Harvey Should Kill Any Doubt That Climate Change Is Real.”

That’s phrased to make any skeptic look ridiculous.

Of course climate change is real! Climate changes — it always has and always will. For the past 300 years, since “the little ice age,” the globe warmed about three degrees. The warming started well before man emitted much carbon.

So the real unanswered questions are: 1. Will climate change become a crisis? (We face immediate crises now: poverty, terrorism, a $20 trillion debt, rebuilding after the hurricanes) 2. Is there anything we can do about it? (No. Not now; the science isn’t there yet.)

3. Did man’s burning fossil fuels increase the warming? (Probably. But we don’t know how much.)

I resent how the alarmists mix these questions, pretending all the science is settled. Notice how Trevor Noah, above, tossed out the words “man-made,” as if all climate change is man-made?

OK, he’s just a comic, but New York Times writers constantly yammer about “human-caused” and “manmade” climate change, too.

Politicians (and ex-politicians like Al Gore) are eager to exploit our fears by calling for more spending and regulation in the name of fighting deadly but preventable climate change — as if feeble efforts like the Paris climate accord would have made the tiniest difference.

They wouldn’t. It’s all for show.

A video I made about this seems to have struck a chord. It got more than a million views over the weekend.

Some people reacted with anger online: “the scientific community suggest that humans are contributing to the warming of the planet. Isn’t (it) at least a little reckless to put a finger in each ear and say ‘Nuh uh!

LALALALALALALALALA!’” That would be reckless. But no one advocates that.

We already spend a fortune on subsidies, mandates and climate research. The real questions are outlined above.

Climate fluctuates, and humans don’t have too much to say about it.

Maybe someday humans will be gone. The storms will continue. But at least there’ll be less hot air.

Preparing Iowa students for success after high school A respected survey shows a shift in what Americans want in a high school education.

Americans overwhelmingly support a greater K-12 focus on career preparation, according to the PDK Poll of the Public’s Attitudes Toward the Public Schools.

More Americans think public schools should prepare students for work and life with a greater emphasis on: • Career, technical and skillsbased classes • Work training • Interpersonal skills • Citizenship skills Most people no longer think that academic preparation should be the main goal of a public school education. The survey shows we still value traditional academic preparation, especially opportunities for advanced academic stud-

State View Sen. Chaz Allen ies, but “the public sees academics, while important, as only part of today’s educational mission.”

When judging school quality, the public gives much more weight to students’ job preparation and interpersonal development than to their standardized test scores.

The poll shows more than 80 percent of Americans: • Support job or career skills classes even if that means students might spend less time in academic classes.

• Say schools should offer certificate or licensing programs that qualify students for employment

in a given field.

• See technology and engineering classes as a very important element of school quality.

• Believe it is highly important for schools to help students develop interpersonal skills, such as being cooperative, respectful of others and persistent at solving problems.

These results suggest that the main concern for parents is this: They want their children prepared for life after they complete high school.

I want to hear your thoughts.

Do agree with the results of this survey? How do you think we are doing at preparing students for their futures? You can reply to this e-mail to share your perspective with me.

FAMILY CIRCUS

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Sept. 18, 2017

Woman finds perfect partner, but still prefers to be alone DEAR ABBY: I have been dating a great guy for a few months. He treats me well and seems to care about me and my family. He offers to help with the bills and cleaning my place. He’s also kind and honest, and he’s actually the first guy I have ever dated I feel I can fully trust.

I was single for years before we started dating, and during all that time, all I wanted was to be with someone like him. However, being single as long as I have been has made me very independent, which I really like. We have certain days that we don’t see each other so I can have my “alone time,” but — more and more — I feel like those few days aren’t enough.

I’m starting to realize that, for the most part, I really enjoy being alone.

I don’t get why I feel this way. He’s everything I have always wanted in a partner, so why do I still always want to be by myself? Do other people have the same kind of feelings I do? Or is this not normal behavior? — WANT TO BE ALONE DEAR WANT: I think most people need a degree of alone time to concentrate on their interests or to be creative. That’s normal. However, you state that you don’t feel you have enough of it, and even though you are seeing someone you think is “Mr. Wonderful,” you still always want more. Your next step should be to talk with Mr. Wonderful about the fact that you need more time alone. It may be something the two of you can work out. However, if it isn’t, you will have to face the fact that you may not be ready to couple up.

DEAR ABBY: My parents have been divorced for years, so I go to my mum’s for a week and to my dad and stepmum’s the next. Recently I have been going to my dad’s less often because he is giving me major anxiety.

He keeps asking questions I don’t want to answer because they either might be about my mum or are just not “appropriate.”

Dad and his wife are “sticky beaks.”

They don’t mind their own business.

I just started high school, so I’m very stressed and have been crying a lot.

Can you help me to get my life together? — MAJORLY ANXIOUS IN AUSTRALIA DEAR ANXIOUS: A new school can be intimidating for first-year students until they become used to the routine and more at ease with classmates. However, with time, you will settle in and it will no longer be stressful for you. In fact, it may offer opportunities to explore interests you were never exposed to in the lower grades.

As to your father and his wife, you do not have to report to them what your mother is doing or whom she is seeing (if anyone), or answer any questions that embarrass you. When they ask, ask them to please stop because the questions make you uncomfortable. If they persist, tell your mum and let her deal with them. She may be able to explain that what they’re doing is driving you away, and if they don’t stop, they will be seeing less and less of you.

Swastika, racist messages reported at Drake University DES MOINES — Administrators say a swastika was carved into an elevator on campus at Drake University in Des Moines and a racist message left outside an African-American student’s dorm room in a cowardly attack. The message was left on a whiteboard on the door of a first-year student over the weekend. In an email to students Sunday, Drake University President Marty Martin called the content of the message “the most offensive of racial epithets� and the vandalism “cowardly.�

Airport expansion may be delayed by years DES MOINES — Nearly a year after Des Moines Airport Authority’s board adopted a $500 million plan to expand the airport’s terminal, officials now say funding problems may delay the project for years. A consulting firm told the board earlier this week that construction on the terminal may not start until 2026 because of federal delays on funding airport upgrades.

Rape cases delayed by lab testing backlog

DES MOINES — Sexual assault cases move ahead slowly in Iowa because of a testing backlog at the state crime lab. More than 400 sexual assault cases were waiting for DNA testing at the state crime lab at the end of August. That’s up from the end of 2014 when 265 cases awaited processing. The delays mean that victims of sexual assault in Iowa may have to wait months for testing before an arrest can be made. Marshalltown Police Chief Mike Tupper says the delay is the worst part for victims waiting for their cases to be resolved.

State agency to study cuts to Planned Parenthood DES MOINES (AP) — A state agency is collecting data to better understand whether the Iowa Legislature’s move to cut funding for Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers is resulting in less access to reproductive health care.

The Iowa Department of Human Services has been compiling data on its staterun family planning program since it went into effect in July, according to agency officials who spoke to lawmakers at the Capitol this month.

The analysis follows a decision by the Legislature’s Republican majority to forgo federal funding and instead spend about $3.1 million in

state money on a family planning program that excludes clinics affiliated with abortion services. Lawmakers indicated the move was aimed at denying government funding for Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion provider.

Even before the state’s actions, no federal or state dollars were spent on abortions in Iowa.

A new workgroup will meet within weeks to figure out how to interpret the information the agency gathers, said Wendy Rickman, a top DHS administrator.

Rickman said officials want to monitor the number of health providers in the new

program and who they’re serving. She added that the intent is for the group “to come to some consensus on what we’re going to measure going forward. So that when we come back to you next session we will have a dashboard upon which everybody has agreed, from a data perspective. So we’re not arguing about this set of data or that set of data.�

The data will be a key factor in figuring out whether the funding cut to Planned Parenthood and other groups will result in fewer Iowans receiving reproductive health care services like birth control, pregnancy testing and health screenings.

After the loss of the federal Medicaid money, Planned Parenthood of the Heartland closed four of its 12 Iowa clinics. That in turn has led some local health officials to consider opening new facilities to cover service gaps.

Jodi Tomlonovic, executive director of the nonprofit Family Planning Council of Iowa, said it’s important that state officials not only measure how many health care providers are enrolled in the new program, but which reproductive health care services are being utilized.

The council, which will be part of the workgroup, contracts with health care entities like Planned Parenthood for

Paine announces run for Jasper County Board of Supervisors

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News When Rhonda Paine couldn’t find anyone to run for the Jasper County Supervisor’s Board she did the next best thing; she decided she’d run herself.

On Saturday at the Jasper County Republicans annual trap shooting fundraiser Paine announced her candidacy to the crowd, telling residents that it was time for some “new blood� on the board.

Paine said she decided to run in the election next year after becoming fed up with the conditions of the roads in Jasper County.

Living in the northeast corner of the county, she said that road conditions need to improve drastically. “I’m really tired of our roads not getting fixed, they haven’t been repaved in 12 years, and we only see a grader once a year,� Paine said.

Living on an acreage, Paine said she’s heard from farmers in the county that the road repairs are sorely needed. Often, conditions on Paine’s road are so bad visitors think they’re driving on a B road, with limited service, but that’s not the case. Jasper County Rement Base odel Rem

Dave Dolmage/Daily News Rhonda Paine, a stay at home mom, announced her campaign for the Jasper County Board of Supervisors during the 4th Annual Jasper County Republicans trap shooting fundraiser Saturday in Newton.

publicans chair Thad Nearmyer said he’s convinced that if elected, Paine will be a passionate advocate for rural residents in the county. “She’s gone door to door talking to residents because the gravel road situation is so terrible,� Nearmyer said. “This isn’t a localized problem, it’s countywide, and she’s fired up about this.�

Improving the rural road network in the county isn’t the only issue that Paine’s concerned about, she’s also looking at ways to trim the fat from the coun-

ty’s budget. As she drives through Jasper County.

Paine said she sees too many vacant buildings, and she wants to see if there’s a way existing buildings can be repurposed to meet the needs of the county before new construction is considered. “I think we need to be a little more tight with our money, we need to get a good value for what we’re spending,� Paine said.

In filling vacant buildings across the county, Paine is also hoping it will help create jobs, especial-

ly for younger residents.

After growing up in Jasper County, Paine moved away before coming back 12 years ago, and she’s said creating jobs will give kids a reason to come to Jasper County and stay. “There’s no jobs for the kids here, it’s very, very sad,� Paine said.

Supporting local farmers is also a big part of Paine’s agenda. She feels like farmers in the county don’t receive enough support from lawmakers, even though Paine says they’re paying the “lion’s share� of taxes within the county.

She wants to see the level of services that are available to rural residents increase to support local farmers. “Farmers are a serious group of entrepreneurs in Jasper County and they’re upset, we’ve gotten some help, but we still don’t get any services out there,�

Paine said.  While insisting that she’s a mom, not a politician, Paine said she thinks that she can make a difference in Jasper County, which is why she’s decided to run for office. “I don’t know if I can improve things on my own, but we need to see some new ideas,� Paine said.

Governments turn tables by suing public records requesters IOWA CITY (AP) — An Oregon parent wanted details about school employees getting paid to stay home.

A retired educator sought data about student performance in Louisiana. And college journalists in Kentucky requested documents about the investigations of employees accused of sexual misconduct.

Instead, they got something else: sued by the agencies they had asked for public records.

Government bodies are increasingly turning the tables on citizens who seek public records that might be embarrassing or legally sensitive. Instead of granting or denying their requests, a growing number of school districts, municipalities and state agencies have filed lawsuits against people making the requests — taxpayers, government watchdogs and journalists who must then pursue the records in court at their own expense.

The lawsuits generally ask judges to rule that the records being

sought do not have to be divulged. They name the requesters as defendants but do not seek damage awards.

Still, the recent trend has alarmed freedom-of-information advocates, who say it’s becoming a new way for governments to hide information, delay disclosure and intimidate critics. “This practice essentially says to a records requester, ‘File a request at your peril,’� said University of Kansas journalism professor Jonathan Peters, who wrote about the issue for the Columbia Journalism Review in 2015, before several more cases were filed. “These lawsuits are an absurd practice and noxious to open government.�

Government officials who have employed the tactic insist they are acting in good faith. They say it’s best to have courts determine whether records should be released when legal obligations are unclear — for instance, when the documents may be shielded by an exemption or privacy laws.

family planning services, such as contraception and screening for sexually transmitted diseases.

Tomlonovic said officials should know, for example, details such as how many people are using different forms of birth control and whether there’s a drop or spike over time. Tomlonovic said she wants to collect data “that shows truly what the impact of this is.�

Others in the data workgroup will include representatives from DHS, the Iowa Department of Public Health and the anti-abortion group Iowa Right to Life. It’s unclear when any of the collected data will be available to the public.

Iowa’s unemployment rate increases slightly to 3.3 percent in August DES MOINES — Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased slightly to 3.3 percent for August. The state’s jobless rate was 3.7 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate rose to 4.4 percent in August.

“The economy showed some minor improvements in August,” said Beth Townsend, Iowa Workforce Development Director. “Iowa businesses have steadily added jobs since April and advanced by 2,300 jobs this month with job gains continuing in healthcare, trade, and other services and the labor force par-

ticipation rate remained at 68.4 pecent.”

The number of unemployed Iowans increased to 55,200 in August. The current estimate is 7,800 lower than the year ago level of 63,000.

The total number of working Iowans decreased to 1,627,800 in August. This figure was 300 lower than July and 9,000 lower than one year ago.

Seasonally Adjusted Nonfarm Employment August marked the fourth-consecutive gain for total nonfarm employment for

the State of Iowa. The monthly increase of 2,300 jobs lifted the total to 1,590,100 jobs.

Goods-producing industries were sluggish in August, paring 1,000 jobs.

Conversely, service sectors gained 3,300 jobs. In total, five private super sectors lost employment this month versus four that gained employment.

Government was unchanged this month with declines at the local and federal levels exactly offsetting the state government gains. Compared to last August, government is down 2,000 jobs due to local government losses.

Tree stand safety focus of awareness campaign A campaign is underway by tree stand manufacturers, retailers, media, natural resource agencies and deer hunters to reduce and eliminate tree stand accidents by raising awareness of this issue and providing education about safe tree stand hunting best practices.

Falls from tree stands are annually the number one cause of death and serious injury to deer hunters and involve all types of stands. Nearly all of these incidents are preventable by implementing three simple measures: First, inspect your equipment. Second, wear a full-body harness and third, stay connected from the time your feet leave the ground. It really is that simple.

Tree stand accidents can happen to deer hunters of all skill levels and result in serious injury or death. In Iowa

last year, there were three tree stand incidents and all resulted in injury.

Since September is traditionally a busy time for deer hunters who are preparing for the upcoming hunting season; it has been chosen as Tree Stand Safety Awareness Month.

“Hunters are encouraged to take treestand safety seriously,

every time you hunt from, hang, or move a tree stand,” said Megan Wisecup, hunter education administrator for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR).

To help prevent injuries, the Iowa DNR in partnership with TSSA, is promoting a new awareness campaign called the “ABC’s of Tree Stand Safety.”

Always remove and inspect your equipment Buckle on your full-body harness Connect to the tree before your feet leave the ground “By performing these three simple steps, tree stand users can virtually eliminate their risk of falling to the ground as the majority of falls occur outside the stand,” Wisecup said.

Cardinals hold Grayhounds at bay

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Dashing 66 yards, Newton High junior Josh Miller (34) won’t be stopped from crossing the goal line for a touchdown against Burlington’s Grayhounds in Friday’s NHS homecoming game at H.A. Lynn Stadium. Miller scored twice in the Cardinals’ 47-26 win over the visiting Grayhounds.

Cardinal golf tees off

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News MARSHALLTOWN — Newton High’s boys played their first Class 4A fall golf tournament Friday. They finished 10th out of 12 teams at the Marshalltown Invitational at the Elmwood Country Club golf course.

Junior Colin McAnally led the Cardinals with a 92 as the Cardinals combined for a 386 score.

Newton senior Nate Vanzee shot a 94 for the tournament and sophomore Damon Reynolds carded a 98. Senior Shaiden Simmons finished with a 102. Junior Devon Young and senior Michael Hodnett were the non-team scoring players for Newton with scores of 113 and 136, respectively.

“I knew we would go through some growing pains having so many kids with little varsity experience,” Newton head coach Pat Riley said. “Shaiden and Damon are the only two who have had some varsity meets under their belts. We just need to focus on improving week to week on all aspects of the game.”

The Cardinals play one more invitational this fall — the Southeast Polk Invitational at 9 a.m. on Wednesday at Copper Creek Golf Course in Pleasant Hill.

They play in 4A regional action on Oct. 3.

Protect This House.

Newton High’s Cardinals made good on their pledge of protecting their home field at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

Trailing 6-0 to visiting Burlington’s Grayhounds Friday night, the Cardinals turned the tide quickly on two defensive plays early in the second quarter.

With an interception return for a touchdown and a fourth-down defensive stop, the Cardinals claimed the momentum to notch their fourth win in as many games this season. Newton pushed past Burlington for a 47-26 homecoming victory and finished non-district play at 4-0.

“The interception for a touchdown and the fourthdown stop were momentum changers for us. We got some mojo going as a team after that,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said. “I thought we could wear on them and in the second half we just started running right at them.”

Grayson Graham intercepted a L.T. Beck pass and raced 55 yards down the sidelines. The extra-point kick by Zach Combs put the Cardinals on top, 7-6, with 11:08 left in the second period.

“It’s great to win our homecoming game,” Combs, a senior defensive back, said. “We made some adjustments on defense after their opening drive. They made some big plays for touchdowns, but our offense had taken over the game by then.”

Newton’s defense bent

some, but held the Grayhounds to just 12 points in the first 31 minutes of the game. Newton had pushed out to a 34-12 lead by the middle of the third quarter.

In the second quarter, Beck was guiding the Grayhounds down the field again then the drive stalled at the Newton 42-yard line. Burlington went for a fourth-and-one, but the Cardinal defense stopped the Grayhound quarterback for a 2-yard loss which gave the ball to Newton.

Five plays later, Carson Cazett busted loose for a 26-yard TD run and Combs added the extra point. Down 14-6, Burlington moved quickly on its next possession. Beck found James McCann in the end zone on a 2-yard scoring pass but a potential tying 2-point pass failed.

Newton’s two-point lead increased to 21-14 by halftime when Josh Miller found clear sailing on the outside for a 66-yard TD run. Combs kicked the extra point.

“I just bounced it outside and ran hard,” Miller said of his long TD run.

“This win is a big confidence boost for us going into our next game.”

Miller said the Cardinal offensive linemen were blocking well all night. He said he had a lot of good holes for him and the rest of the running backs to run through.

“We get into a rhythm on offense and it can be demoralizing for an opponent when we execute our running game like that,” Ergenbright said.

Mustangs rout Centerville

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — Prairie City-Monroe junior Wes Cummings wasn’t feeling the best during school Friday.

But when the lights came on later that night, Cummings showed why he’s a returning all-state player.

Cummings broke off two long touchdown runs to break open a close game early, and the Mustangs routed Centerville, 74-14, in their home opener.

Cummings rushed for 155 yards and two scores on eight carries in the first half and totaled 161 yards in the game after seeing minimal snaps in the second half.

“After I hit the front line, all I saw was green grass,” Cummings said. “I honestly wondered when the runs were going to be over. I was tired after being sick at school all day. I came out here and overcame some adversity for my teammates. I just didn’t want to miss this game.”

Cummings helped PCM pull away from an 8-7 lead with touchdown runs of 51 and 78 yards in the first quarter.

Junior receiver Preston Van Wyk also had a big night for PCM. Van Wyk put the Mustangs on the board with a 46-yard touchdown catch from junior Reed Worth on third and 17.

Van Wyk hauled in touchdown catches of 55 and 35 yards in the third quarter and finished with 189 yards and three scores on five catches on the night.

“There are a lot of plays that coach (Colin) Harrison gives me that are basically just go routes,” Van Wyk said. “I just try to run faster than the guy covering me. Everyone has special plays. We have lots of tricks in our bag, and so far they are working.”

The Mustangs led 40-14 at half-

time, and the 74 points scored in the game were the most by the program in more than a decade.

PCM scored 73 against Clarke last year and has now won 10 straight district games dating back to the regular season finale in 2015.

Mustang head coach Greg Bon-

nett felt bad after the game for scoring so many points.

PCM’s final two touchdowns, though, were scored by backups, and the Mustangs attempted only six passes in the second half.

Tenth-ranked Lynnville-Sully blanks Cardinal

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News ELDON — Big play after big play, Class A 10th-ranked Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks overpowered the Cardinal Comets, 74-0, in Friday’s Class A District 6 contest at Eldon.

“We played a clean football game with no turnovers. We won it up front as our offensive and defensive lines dominated the line of scrimmage,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Mike Parkinson said. “We still have plenty to work on as we continue in district play.”

Amassing 458 yards of total offense for the game, the Hawks rolled to a 68-0 halftime lead, triggering a running clock for the entire second half. They had 369 yards on the ground against the Comets.

Sage Zylstra and Gage Vander Leest scored three rushing TDs apiece. Zylstra,

Stock

who had 124 yards on seven carries, began the scoring onslaught with a 10-yard touchdown run with 10:05 left in the first quarter. Vander Leest, who had 88 yards on five carries, followed with a 10-yard TD run two minutes later.

Evan Squires scored on a 4-yard run at the 6:36 mark then Tyson Vander Linden hauled in a 7-yard TD pass from Elijah Collins a minute later. Vander Leest dashed 38 yards to paydirt with 2:21 left in the opening period. Brevin Hansen kicked four ex-

tra-points in the first quarter to help the Hawks take a 34-0 lead.

On the first play of the second quarter, Zylstra broke loose for a 15-yard TD run with Hansen kicking the extra point. Following a Comet turnover, Squires had a 6-yard TD run at the 10:55 mark.

Nate Stock, who had 83 yards on two carries, ripped off a 61-yard touchdown run followed by a 59-yard scoring run by Zylstra. Vander Leest found the end zone for the third time on a 14-yard run with 1:11 left in the second quarter.

Hansen had two more PAT kicks and Hannes Van der Meer kicked the final one in the first half. Both kickers attempted field goals in the game but didn’t make them.

“We have a lot of skill guys and we want to get them a lot of offensive snaps, but tonight we had big play after big play.

We really didn’t have much of a chance to get a guy working with a lot of snaps,” Parkinson said. “We even attempted the field goals. We need to work on special teams play.”

Collins and Kinnick McFarland each threw touchdown passes. Kodie Waggoner pulled in a 4-yard scoring strike from McFarland as the lone score in the second half.

Vander Leest had 88 yards on five carries and Squires had 27 yards on four carries.

Ten Hawk players had positive rushing yardage in the game.

Lynnville-Sully’s defense had three takeaways with Stock and Carson Dunsbergen making interceptions and Zylstra recovering a fumble.

Jesse Van Wyk and Zane Fraker each recorded a quarterback sack for the Hawks.

Cardinal quarterback Trey Albert led his team in rushing — nine carries for 41 yards

— and went 2-for-9 passing for nine yards. Kade Chance made both catches for the Comets, who had 54 yards of total offense.

Stock was credited with six tackles for the Lynnville-Sully defense. Vander Leest, Zylstra and Kemper Lukehart each had five tackles.

The Hawks (4-0) take a 2-0 district mark into Friday’s game at Winfield-Mount Union.

“We have some strong teams coming up on the schedule in district play. We have Winfield-Mount Union this next week then Pekin comes in,” Parkinson said.

“Our guys will continue to work hard and improve.”

Pekin (5-0, 2-0) is ranked No. 7 in Class A and plays at Lynnville-Sully on Sept. 29.

JOLIET, Ill. (AP) — Martin Truex Jr. stretched his arms to his side and waited for a shower of green slime , the colored goop traditionally poured over the heads of game-show contestants and A-list celebrities.

Add NASCAR race winner to the list.

“It’s a lot funner to watch people get slimed than it is to get slimed,” a smiling and sticky Truex said. “But it’s definitely worth it to get that after the race.”

Truex might have left the rest of the field green with envy that he was again the driver celebrating in victory lane.

Truex backed up his regular-season dominance with a victory Sunday in NASCAR’s playoff opener at Chicagoland Speedway that solidified himself as the driver to beat over the final nine races as he chases his first Cup championship.

He raced to his fifth victory of the season and earned an automatic berth in the second round of the playoffs, piling on more points in his bid to compete for the title in the finale at Homestead.

A driver with three Cup wins in his first 10 seasons, Truex has nine over the last two years for Furniture Row Racing.

Truex was in cruise control over the final 55 laps and built a nearly 7-second lead over Chase Elliott to win at Chicagoland for the second straight season. Elliott was second, followed by playoff drivers Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin and Kyle Larson.

Truex entered the playoffs at the No. 1 seed with four wins, 18 stage wins and he totaled a whopping 53 bonus points that he can keep through the first three playoff rounds.

Truex leads the standings by 27 points over Larson.

Park scores three times Iowa overwhelms UNT, as Iowa State beats Akron off to a 3-0 season start AKRON, Ohio (AP) — With his long hair, full beard and lanky build, Jacob Park looks more like a rock star than a quarterback. He was both on Saturday afternoon.

Park passed for 317 yards and two touchdowns, including a 43-yarder to Marchie Murdock, as Iowa State pulled away in the second half for a 41-14 victory over Akron.

The 6-foot-4, 210-pound junior completed 24-of-33 throws without an interception and also scored on a 14-yard run for the Cyclones (2-1), who equaled a school record by topping 40 points for the third straight game to start the season.

“Jacob is just so wild out there, but that’s his way of playing,” said wide receiver Allen Lazard, who caught a 7-yard TD from Park. “Even when he’s running around and is off-balance, he just throws the ball around and is having fun.”

Park offered no excuses for his freewheeling style, which allowed him to make the key play of the game after Akron (1-2) had trimmed Iowa State’s lead to 20-14. He used a spin-move to elude a defender then sprinted to his right before hitting Murdock in stride over the middle for the TD that deflated the Zips’ dreams of an upset.

“Jacob is a different cat,” Murdock said, chuckling.

“It shocked me when I got the ball because I was on the back side of the play and he was still running, but he put it right on the money. That was a tough play, he made it easy for me.”

Sophomore David Montgomery rushed for 127

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa State quarterback Jacob Park threw for 317 yards and two scores and rushed for another TD in the Cyclones’ 41-14 win over Akron on Saturday.

yards and a score as the Cyclones set a school mark by gaining 400 yards for the sixth game in a row.

Park has thrown for more than 200 in all six but insists that his team can be better.

“We should be scoring 50 or 60 a game because we’ve left points on the table by shooting ourselves in the foot a lot,” Park said. “If we play like this against Texas, we lose. That was (coach Matt) Campbell’s point to everyone.

“But that’s why I love this place. You’ve got to earn everything. It was fun today.”

Takeaways IOWA STATE: The Cyclones outgained Akron 17045 in the first quarter, but lost their mojo after taking a 14-0 lead.

Once the third period began, they rode Park and

Montgomery, who combined for nine consecutive touches totaling 87 yards. The strategy was sound and kept the Zips guessing.

AKRON: Senior Thomas Woodson displayed strong resolve despite being sacked five times in the first half, finishing 25-of-40 for 240 yards. The third-year starter tossed a pair of second-quarter touchdowns, highlighted by a 45-yarder down the left sideline to Kwadarrius Smith.

Key Numbers IOWA STATE: LB Joel Lanning, who started 14 games at QB over the last three seasons, recorded his first career interception and sack. He had 1½ sacks and a team-high eight tackles. ...

The Cyclones are 25-5 alltime against Mid-American Conference teams, but had not previously played Akron.

IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa survived non-conference play — but it hardly went unscathed.

Nate Stanley threw for 197 yards and a pair of touchdowns and Iowa overwhelmed North Texas 31-14 on Saturday.

Freshman Ivory Kelly-Martin added 74 yards rushing and two TDs for the Hawkeyes (3-0), who played most of the second half without running backs Akrum Wadley and James Butler.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said Wadley’s undisclosed right leg issue isn’t “anything serious” and that Butler had an “elbow issue” and will be dayto-day.

“There was nothing easy out there,” Ferentz said. “This team has been resilient.”

Iowa pulled ahead 17-14 on a 23-yard TD pass from Stanley to Noah Fant — on fourth down and 5 — late in the third quarter.

Kelly-Martin added a 2-yard touchdown, the first of his career, with 8:16 left to cap a drive that covered 87 yards and burned nearly nine minutes.

Kelly-Martin also scored a 6-yard TD run with 1:47 to go.

But the Hawkeyes will be left to hope that Wadley and Butler won’t miss extended time. Wadley and Butler, a Nevada transfer, entered 2017 as the only duo in the country to each rush for over 1,000 yards last season.

Mason Fine threw for 167 yards for North Texas (1-2), which dropped its second straight. Iowa’s defense held the Mean Green to just 93 yards and zero points in the second half.

“It was more an attitude thing,” said Iowa end Parker Hesse about Iowa’s improvement in the second half. “We

Mustangs

Continued from Page 1B “We don’t get any curtainraiser games. We try to put our JV guys in as much as we can,” Bonnett said. “The problem is a lot of our backups are good, too. I don’t ever want to run the score up on anyone, but I can’t help that they fumbled on the 2 yard line. I can’t help that our backup RB (Olin Meinders) had a 40-yard run.

Some of it I just can’t help.”

PCM’s offense finished with 268 rushing yards, and 282 passing yards.

Worth finished 12-of-20 through the air for 257 yards and four touchdowns. Freshman backup Sage Burns completed his only pass for a 25yard touchdown to senior Chase Sanders in the fourth quarter, and Burns also had a 10-yard TD run.

PCM’s defense got off to a slow start, and one of the few negatives in the win was the ejection of junior Brycen Rogers, who was flagged and disqualified for “launching himself at a defenseless receiver.”

By rule, Rogers will miss Friday’s game against Central Lee, too.

“It wasn’t helmet-to-helmet or a dirty play, and I thought that’s what they called at first,” Bonnett said. “They told me they ejected him for launching at a defenseless receiver.

It’s a judgment call. I have seen a ton of hits like that that haven’t been called. To say he launched at him, that’s their call. I can’t make that call for them.”

The PCM defense was gashed for two big pass plays on Centerville’s first scoring drive. Freshman Brady Kauzlarich hit McCain Oden for a 48-yard completion, and then Kauzlarich hooked up with Taylor McGrain for a 22-yard TD to cut the Mustangs’ lead to 8-7.

Centerville’s (1-3, 1-1) other TD came on a 10-yard run

by Kauzlarich with 53 seconds

to go in the half.

“We started out in a three front, and they exposed it early,” Bonnett said. “I expected them to hit seams and curls, but they hit routes in the flat, which forced us to get out of our gameplan and go back to a four-front defense. That’s what we did, and that’s what we want to do anyway. We were OK once we made that switch.”

Cummings didn’t like how his team started against Centerville on Friday or against Albia a week earlier.

“We just have to execute.

We need to flow to the ball a little better defensively,” Cummings said. “We’ve had some slow starts the last two games.

We need to pick it sooner, especially as we get closer to the playoffs.”

The Mustangs are yet to be challenged in 2A District 6 play since the start of last season. PCM is outscoring district foes 506-42 in those nine games.

PCM, playing in front of its home fans for the first time this season because of the Montezuma forfeit, didn’t take long to score most of its touchdowns.

Van Wyk’s TD catch from Worth came on the third play of the Mustangs’ first drive that began after PCM recovered on an onside kick on the opening kickoff.

Cummings’ 51-yard TD run was the first play of PCM’s third drive. He also had a 36yard run on the second drive that ended in a turnover on downs.

Cummings’ 78-yard scoring run was the fourth play of the fourth drive and came after Van Wyk hauled in a 20yard catch on third and long.

Centerville lost its first fumble on a bad hand off on the first play of the Big Reds’ next drive.

After a false start penalty, PCM scored in one play when Worth hit junior Jarron Trausch for a 36-yard touch-

down strike.

PCM’s next drive started on the Centerville 30-yard line.

Senior Noah Anderson began the drive with an 11-yard run, and Worth ended the drive on the third play with a 14-yard touchdown run.

The final drive of the first half covered four plays and 25 yards and it ended on a 1-yard touchdown run by Anderson.

The longest drive of the game came on PCM’s first possession of the second half.

The Mustangs marched 90 yards in eight plays.

Van Wyk got loose again on a go route, and he sprinted past the defense for a 55-yard touchdown.

“I have tried to tell anyone who would listen that Preston Van Wyk is an explosive player,” Bonnett said. “He has the speed, and is getting more physical now, too. If he puts both of those together watch out.”

Van Wyk’s third touchdown came on a three-play,

made the plays when it counted.”

The Takeaway IOWA: Though the final score wasn’t close, this wasn’t how the Hawkeyes wanted to look with No. 5 Penn State coming to town next week. A fumble and a premature celebration by Wadley cost Iowa a pair of touchdowns, and a rash of penalties helped North Texas score and take the lead at halftime. Still, the Hawkeyes defense pitched a shutout in the second half and their running game showed promise.

NORTH TEXAS: After getting embarrassed by instate rival SMU, the Mean Green responded by scaring Iowa for about 50 minutes. Fine proved to be a handful at times for Iowa’s defense, as was Jeffrey Wilson on a 41-yard touchdown run in the first quarter.

Silver Lining Kelly-Martin and fellow freshman Toren Young looked good in their first extended action as replacements for Wadley and Butler. Young rushed for 78 yards on 19 attempts and Kelly-Martin averaged 6.7 yards per carry. Kelly-Martin was the first true freshman since Marcus Coker in 2010 with at least two TD runs in a single game.

Key Numbers Iowa ran the ball 59 times and threw it 27, leading to a time of possession advantage of more than 21 minutes. ...

Wilson rushed for 95 yards. ... Iowa was 11-of-18 on third downs and 4-of-5 on fourth downs. The Mean Green was 0-of-6 on third downs. ... Stanley now has 10 touchdowns in three games — the most by an Iowa quarterback in 30 years.

26-yard drive. After a bad snap that resulted in negative yards, Worth hit Van Wyk for a 35-yard score.

The touchdown was set up by an Ivan Young interception. Centerville fumbled the ball on its next possession and gave the ball to PCM on the 1-yard line.

Cummings needed one play to score a third touchdown on a night when Bonnett wasn’t sure his star tailback would even play.

“Wesley wasn’t feeling the best today. I was worried about him,” Bonnett said.

“Our PE teacher Mrs. (Tara) Williams gave him some Sprite, and I guess that did the trick. He made some great runs off some great blocking.”

The PCM defense forced five turnovers and held Centerville to 26 rushing yards and 225 total yards.

Junior Cole Dustin had a team-high 3 1/2 tackles, two tackles for loss and a fumble recovery to lead the way.

Juniors Marshall Smith and Brayton Van Dyke each had a fumble recovery.

The Mustangs stay home this week to face Central Lee for Senior Night at 7:30 p.m.

A dvertiser Jasper County

Astrograph

Under the diligent Virgo moon, should you let them know how hard you’ve had to work to make something happen, or should you make it look like no sweat at all? It depends on who is on the receiving end.

Inexperienced people need to be taught what goes into the process. Seasoned people appreciate a pro job with an attitude to match.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.

18). From the top of the solar return, you’ll do as one Puerto Rican proverb suggests and “break the leg of a bad habit.”

This will allow you to work faster, more smoothly and with more lucrative results. Your family gets bigger in October.

November lights the passion fire. You’ll travel for love in November and August. Cancer and Taurus adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 2, 18, 30, 17 and 39.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You won’t get any more than you can handle. Still, it would be nicer if the word “pleasantly” were inserted between “can” and “handle,” yes? The way to add a little ease in your life is to say “no” a lot more than you currently do.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

These days, people claim to do things “in the interest of transparency” as if it’s some kind of brag. But how much do you

really want to know? You’ll prefer a well-crafted story with a little mystery thrown in.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The quiet observer may see the most, but there’s also something to be said for the outspoken instigator who teases out a side of people that’s been dying for the excuse to emerge.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’ll be pressured into liking what’s popular. That’s OK. Popularity may be as good a reason for liking something as any in that moment. Later tonight, though, have a you-toyou talk to figure out your true preferences.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). There are those who feel bullied by a loud voice, even when that

voice isn’t using bullying words. You’re a socially savvy performer, though, so you’ll dial in your volume and tone to match the vibes of your audience.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’re bringing your A-game.

Each person you meet today has the potential to be, at the very least, a friendly part of your social landscape. Some could even become special to you.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Today’s act of bravery won’t take place on a battlefield; rather, it will happen inside your heart when you decide to be compassionate even though you’ve plenty of reasons not to be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

When the energy bleeds out of the situation and you realize that the old way cannot go on, let this be your reinvention mantra: The phoenix wasn’t born from an egg. Its mother was fire; its father was death himself.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Everything interesting has something slightly controversial tucked in its pocket. When things cease to be somewhat complex or subversive, they cease to get attention.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). From barbershop quartets to habanero peppers, one man’s torture is another man’s pleasure. You’ll do your best work in a diverse group.

You won’t concern yourself

too much with judging other people’s proclivities.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Compromise gets a bad rap in the current culture of “dream big” and “don’t settle,” but think twice today before you pass up a good, solid arrangement in which both parties would be moderately satisfied.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You look forward and wonder whether you’ll have a future that looks like today multiplied many times. If this were to be the case, what would you change about today to make it work?

NHS freshmen win East volleyball tourney

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News DES MOINES — A four-match winning streak put Newton High’s freshman Cardinal volleyball team in a three-way tie atop the field of Saturday’s Des Moines East tournament.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Tess Brunsmann sets the volleyball near the net for a teammate in a home match earlier this season. Newton’s freshmen won the tournament title Saturday at Des Moines East.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B “Garrett Sturtz is a special athlete and just sees the field so well. The game slows down for him and you just give him the ball and let him guide the offense,” Ergenbright said.

Grant Garvis led that defensive charge for the Cardinals with eight solo tackles and two assisted tackles.

Combs made seven unassisted tackles and Blayden Rhone had five solo stops. Graham and Aaron Bartels had interceptions to turn away the Grayhounds.

The Cardinals’ running game, which is No. 2 in Class 4A after four games, was powered by three 100-yard plus performances. Miller finished with 168 yards on 10 carries and Sturtz gained 105 yards on 15 carries. Jaron Roush netted 100 yards on 13 rushes.

The Cardinals took complete control of the game with back-to-back touchdown drives in the third quarter — a 9-yard run by quarterback Garrett Sturtz and a 26yard pass play from Sturtz to Roush. Burlington answered with an 11-yard TD run by Taven Harris and a 2-point conversion pass from Beck to Mason Leinbach.

Cazett, who had 36 yards on nine carries, sat out the second half with an injury and Miller twisted his ankle fighting to get in the end zone in the third quarter.

Sturtz went 3-of-8 passing for 31 yards. Roush had one catch for 26 yards and Carson Cazett had a catch for 10 yards.

“This is the kind of game we needed,” Ergenbright said.

“That’s a very good 0-4 team with a tremendous athlete for a quarterback.”

Beck had a 60-yard TD run with 5:13 left in the fourth quarter for Burlington.

Beck was 9-of-16 passing for 157 yards and rushed for 63 yards on five carries.

Harris ran the ball 19 times and gained 134 yards for the Grayhounds.

“We really hadn’t been tested this season, but Burlington was a good test for us. We kept our composure and played hard,” Combs said. “We better know where we are now and what we need to work on as we starting district play. We’re on to the next one.”

Newton opens 4A District 4 play on Friday at Marshalltown.
