Man jailed for stealing $15K from woman’s bank account Newton Daily News

File Photo Bob Callaghan, Newton’s superintendent, addresses the school board during a regular meeting as board president Travis Padget looks on. The two district leaders say Every Child Succeed Act provides some improvement to the original bill but the implementation has states struggling even before plans receive federal approval.

No Child Left Behind fix represents improvement, but road to implementation is long

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News Newton school administrators are cautiously optimistic the Every Child Succeeds Act will provide a better way to measure student achievement than No Child Left Behind but plenty of roadblocks to implementation remain.

Signed into law by President Barack Obama in 2015, the goal of the Every Child Succeeds Act is to give states a broader authority to measure student progress on a more individualized level.

The ESSA plan, which was submitted this year for federal approval, changes the way school districts measure student progress. Struggling schools will be placed under an improvement plan, based on guidelines from the district or the state.

Under the new ESSA guidelines schools will move away from a

sanction-based model towards a support model, which Newton Community School District Superintendent Bob Callaghan said represented a tremendous improvement but cautioned that until the plan has federal approval, it’s anyone’s guess what the final guidelines will look like.

“The director of education said that he’s heard that if our plan meets the requirements that the federal government will just rubber stamp it, but that hasn’t been our experience with ESSA implementation,” Callaghan said. “Every other state has had to go back and make drastic changes, and that’s a hard pill to swallow to start making changes before the federal government has approved the director’s plan.”

It’s never easy to hit a moving target, and in the four years that Callaghan has been Newton’s superintendent, he’s seen state-mandated assessments

continually get pushed back.

The state’s Smarter Balance assessment test was supposed to be implemented in the 2015-16 school year, but it’s been pushed back every year, and with ESSA implementation looming Callaghan isn’t sure whether or not the test will be scrapped altogether.

“I don’t know what will happen with ESSA, the track record is not strong with things coming to fruition in the time frame that people expect,” Callaghan said.

Without a current state assessment test to measure progress, administrators and educators are caught in the middle, which Callaghan said has been frustrating.

A Newton man is facing first-degree theft charges for allegedly withdrawing more than $15,000 from a woman’s checking account.

Tanner J. Grefe, 39, is accused of taking the victim’s debit card and making random ATM withdrawals without the victim’s knowledge over the last year.

Bank records showed that over at course of time, Grefe stole $15,344 from the victim’s checking account.

When the thefts were discovered, Grefe admitted to them.

Police arrested Grefe when he was seen driving with a suspended Grefe license on Saturday. Grefe was seen driving a 2006 silver Chevrolet Impala into Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office parking lot.

Grefe’s driver’s license is suspended for non-payment of Iowa fines. Grefe was arrested and taken to the Jasper County Jail.

Five year plan reviewed by park board

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Newton Park Board got an update on the city’s five year plan, including work that has been completed, during its regular meeting Wednesday. Community services manager Brian Laube along with parks operation superintendent Nick Cummins and public works director Jody Rhone walked through portions of the plan which was developed in 2013, updated in 2014 and reviewed in 2016.

The plan was divided into four points with the first being to develop a unique vision for each park to expand

usage throughout the park system by supporting project that target certain user groups or residents from the surrounding neighborhood. Within that point the goals were to improve accessibility at Sunset Park, redesign Aurora Park to encourage more teen usage and develop 30-Acre Park to attract more outdoor recreation enthusiast.

“Since this plan was adopted we have added the boulder park and the zipline,” Laube said.

“I understand that we do have a design for a skate park and we are waiting to see if we have any funds for that.”

Today in History Today is Thursday, Sept. 21, the 264th day of 2017. There are 101 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 21, 1897, responding to a letter from 8-year-old Virginia O’Hanlon, the New York Sun ran its famous editorial by Francis P. Church that declared, “Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy.”

On this date: In 1937, “The Hobbit,” by J.R.R. Tolkien, was first published by George Allen & Unwin, Ltd. of London.

In 1938, a hurricane struck parts of New York and New England, causing widespread damage and claiming some 700 lives.

The legal mystery-drama “Perry Mason,” starring Raymond Burr, premiered on CBS-TV. In 1970, “NFL Monday Night Football” made its debut on ABC-TV as the Cleveland Browns defeated the visiting New York Jets, 31-21.

In 1987, NFL players called a strike, mainly over the issue of free agency. (The 24-day walkout prompted football owners to hire replacement players.)

In 1989, Hurricane Hugo crashed into Charleston, South Carolina (the storm was blamed for 56 deaths in the Caribbean and 29 in the United States). Twenty-one students in Alton, Texas, died when their school bus, hit by a soft-drink delivery truck, careened into a water-filled pit.

In 1996, John F. Kennedy Jr. married Carolyn Bessette in a secret ceremony on Cumberland Island, Georgia. The board of all-male Virginia Military Institute voted to admit women.

Ten years ago: One student was mortally wounded, another injured, at Delaware State University. (A suspected gunman was indicted for second-degree murder, but the case was dismissed by a judge because prosecutors withheld evidence.) The Rev. Rex Humbard, whose televangelism ministry once spanned the globe, died in Atlantis, Florida, at age 88. Tony Award-winning actress Alice Ghostley died in Los Angeles at age 83.

Five years ago: A plane carrying Ann Romney from Omaha, Nebraska, to Los Angeles made an emergency landing in Denver after smoke filled the cabin; there were no injuries. A man was bitten multiple times after leaping from a monorail into a tiger exhibit at the Bronx Zoo. People lined up to buy Apple’s iPhone5 as it went on sale in the United States and several other countries.

One year ago: Outraged Republican and Democratic lawmakers grilled Heather Bresch, the CEO of pharmaceutical company Mylan, about the significant cost increase of its life-saving EpiPens; defending her company’s business practices, Bresch told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee she wished the company had “better anticipated the magnitude and acceleration” of the rising prices for some families.

The Northwest Indiana Times reports a state trooper arrested 33-year-old Sean Harris on Wednesday after finding him stranded by the side of a two-lane highway with his vehicle out of fuel. Police say the South Bend-area man’s blood alcohol level was above the legal limit.

Authorities say Harris was arrested not long after he entered the Lacrosse gas station, implied he had a gun and took the items.

Entertainment Review: iTunes video upgrade makes the new Apple TV worth it NEW YORK (AP) — It might seem odd to review the new Apple TV streaming device — one specifically designed to display super-sharp video known as 4K — without actually owning a 4K TV. But in a way, that’s the point.

Most people still don’t have 4K TVs, so the new Apple TV model doesn’t offer them much. But if you’re an Apple fan and already have 4K, the choice is clear. The new Apple TV 4K is out Friday starting at $179, or $30 more than the regular model. It’s a small difference compared with the price of your TV. It’s worth noting that alternatives to Apple TV are cheaper and equally capable at a basic level.

All of the devices connect to a TV so you can stream most major video services on a big screen. Roku and Amazon have 4K models for less than $100 and non-4K versions for even less. Both are even ahead of Apple TV in being able to stream Amazon video now; it’s coming soon to

high definition earlier replaced standard definition.

The consulting company Futuresource says a third of TVs sold worldwide this year will be 4K capable, up from 25 percent last year.

But people tend to keep TVs for many years, unlike high-turnover phones.

“We are working hard behind the scenes to find ways to help all kids be successful regardless of what’s happening with ESSA,” Callaghan said.

School Board President Travis Padget said at first

glance he believes ESSA will represent an improvement over NCLB, but until implementation, it’s hard to determine what changes will occur.

Eliminating the punitive measures for failing to reach lofty targets and moving towards a support based model is a good start Padget said.

The second point focused on facilitating more opportunities for citizens to embrace a healthy active lifestyle by expanding recreational opportunities and improve existing facilities. Several projects have been completed to fulfill this goal including overlaying the tennis courts at Aurora Park, adding new chairs and loungers at the pool, improving accessibility at park shelters and athletic fields and installing pickle ball courts on the existing tennis court.

“The city has also started doing updates and maintenance on the citywide bike trial system, it is kind of an ongoing project,” Laube said.

Selling your home? Check the garage, advises Re/Max Real Estate Concepts SPONSORED BY Jo Jenkins

By Diane Krieger Spivak Did you know that, when it comes time to sell, staging involves more than just your house?

Don’t forget the garage.

You didn’t work so hard to clean your house for showing, only to have potential buyers open the garage door and find a mess, so make sure it’s as organized as your house.

According to the National Association of Realtors 78 percent of homebuyers buy a house with a garage, so kick the clutter before you list.

NAR recommends gathering all items in the garage that you don’t need and having ... well, a garage sale, since those things are conveniently already there.

Donate what doesn’t sell to a local charity.

Many garages end up catchalls and neglected to some extent over time. If yours falls into that category, items may have ended up scattered, so make use of any cabinets, shelves or storage

areas to organize or put them out of sight. Put tools away or hang on a pegboard and place chemicals or anything flammable out of reach. It’s also a good idea to install a smoke detector, adds NAR. Also, invest in some inexpensive heavy-duty hooks that can get bicycles, ladders and other large items up off the floor.

Your garage door is also very important, says NAR. It adds to your home’s curb appeal, and can actually be a deal breaker if it’s in poor condition. Make any cosmetic repairs and paint it, if necessary. Make sure your automatic garage door opener is working correctly, including the automatic light, the automatic reverse, the small opening for pets, the emergency release, and the wall control. If not, have it repaired or replaced. If you don’t have an automatic garage door opener, it’s worth the investment to have one installed.

Last but not least, make sure your garage is well lit.

Rhone brought recently created renderings of Sunset Park for the board to view and critique. Additions include a trail system, fitness equipment, a new playground, nature play area and an additional parking lot and shelter. Suggestions from the board were to tie the trail system in with the surrounding buildings, a possible shelter at the top of the sledding hill and a dog park.

The board also gave the go-ahead to bring the ideas for Sunset Park to the public to get feedback from community members and those who frequent the park.

Love and the game I

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

owa Hawkeye football has been a large presence in my life for as long as I can remember. My mom got my dad season tickets as a present early in their marriage, and they had those seats until I was in elementary school. It was a difficult decision to let them go, but Dad wanted more family time. So, he watched the games with all of us at home on Saturdays instead at Kinnick Stadium.

I remember each of us got to go to a game with Dad one of the last years he had the tickets. I was about 6 or 7 years old at the time. I don’t remember much about the game, but I remember spending time with Dad. It was my first time at Kinnick, but it was far from the last.

Even without the season tickets, we still went to a handful of games as we all got older. I honestly never kept track of how many games we attended. In 2010, my brother, James, and Dad decided to resume the Hawks season tickets tradition. They have seats they love, and I

foresee them keeping them for many years to come.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have filled-in for both Dad and James when a prior engagement prevented them from attending a game.

I have superior bragging rights forever all because of the Iowa vs Pitt. game on Sept. 19, 2015. My brother had a friend’s wedding to attend, and I was the lucky one who took his ticket. No one could have known just how memorable that game would be. In the midst of the Hawks’ undefeated season, the score was tied 24-all with just seconds on the clock.

It was all on the shoulders of kicker Marshall Koehn. As time expired, he kicked the 57-yard attempt dead-center of the uprights, winning the game in spectacular fashion. I captured a video of the moment and shared it on social media.

Now, thanks to Facebook Memories, I get to relive the moment every Sept. 19.

I try to make it to Kinnick at least

once a year now. My fiancé, Tim, and I decided to attend one game this year, picking the Minnesota game on Oct. 28.

The whole family will be there plus my friend Kate.

Then fate intervened.

This past Saturday, my brother and his girlfriend, Ashley, were celebrating their one-year anniversary. He had decided to make it forever and bought an engagement ring she would absolutely love. The only issue was there was a home Hawkeye football game set for that afternoon.

Ashley is almost as big a sports fan as James, so instead of missing the game, they planned to meet at The Iowa River Power restaurant following the game, and he would surprise her with the ring before dinner.

Then James had an idea to make the surprise even bigger by inviting both sides of the family to the restaurant to celebrate the occasion with the people they care about the most.

My mom, sister, brother-in-law, Tim and I all got tickets to the game, mostly to give us a reason to be in Iowa City as to avoid any slip-ups. As luck would have it, Ashley’s mom was offered four tickets to the game bringing Ashley, her sister,

mom and aunt to Kinnick as well. The stars were aligning, it seemed.

The only monkey wrench was the game itself. Iowa was playing North Texas, and while they won, it was the strangest game I’d ever watched. To top it off, there were so many penalties the game seemed to last forever. Luckily, James called the restaurant and was able to move the reservation back.

After James and Ashley arrived at the restaurant, it became the magical moment he had planned — a romantic walk, just the two of them, on the footbridge overlooking the Iowa River, a “yes” from Ashley and a celebration inside the restaurant with loved ones.

Forgotten was the strange game and delay. Ashley was surprised and ecstatic with all James did to make the occasion special. The happy couple was beaming throughout the entire meal.

It was wonderful to be able to share in their joy.

We get to welcome another Hawkeye fan into the family, but more importantly, we gain a great person I can call another sister. Congratulations!

Empty Nest Curt Swarm

Roomba does the rumba Ginnie came to me in a panic. “I can’t find Roomba!”

Roomba is a computerized vacuum cleaner I gave Ginnie for her birthday. I know, you shouldn’t give your wife a vacuum cleaner for her birthday, but she loves it. It’s like an old friend. Turn Roomba loose in any area of the house, and she vacuums better than we can the old-fashioned way. She’s short and compact and whirls under furniture like a ballerina.

Ginnie was going to have cataract surgery the next day and wanted to have the house clean before she came home with her sharpened eyesight.

She had turned Roomba loose in the master bedroom, shutting the bathroom door and putting a barricade in front of the walk-in closet.

I looked under the bed, under the dressers, no Roomba. I checked the bathroom and the closet, nothing, not even a sound. Roomba makes a comforting humming noise.

“How can she just disappear?” Ginnie wondered. “Roomba, where are you?”

I checked the rest of the house, just in case Roomba had somehow escaped the bedroom.

I turned around and there was Ginnie, holding Roomba upside down, a shoe in one hand, its shoestring stuck up in the rollers and brushes of Roomba’s underside. “I must not have had the bathroom door shut tight. Roomba bumped it open, got into the bathroom and ate a shoestring.

I found her on top of the bathroom scales, hiding behind the toilet. She had shut herself off. Poor Roomba. I hope I haven’t hurt her.”

I helped Ginnie extricate the shoestring. We turned Roomba back on, and she went to work on the bedroom floor, humming contentedly, harboring no grudges. Whew!

Ginnie’s cataract surgery went amazingly smooth. In fact, it was so smooth and fast, if I ever need it done, I won’t hesitate. It’s nothing like I had imagined, not like getting poked in the eye.

Ginnie’s eye wasn’t even red after surgery. And she walked out to the car afterward, no wheel chair needed.

Ginnie tells me she feels like she’s falling apart.

She had hip-replacement surgery a few months ago and now cataracts. She wants to be the trail-hiking, bike-riding gal she used to be.

I tell her as long as she can make it out to the hen house to gather eggs, that’s all I want. Just kidding. Actually, gathering eggs is fun, now that our hens are starting to lay. One hen can’t seem to get it right and insists on laying her eggs on a flat, open surface, above the nesting box. But at least I know where to look.

I had Ginnie fix me some of our own brown eggs for breakfast. She cracked one, it was a double-yolker. The next one was a double-yolker also — two double yolkers in a row! It must be the laying mash. It has marigold extract in it to brighten the yolks and give’m zing.

They say a double-yolker is good luck. Two double-yolkers has to mean double good luck. Right?

After suffering hail damage this spring, contractors are replacing our roof with steel — blue steel. The sky is blue and our roof too. Blue sky is the color of dreams.

And Roomba keeps right on doing the rumba.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

September is Sepsis Awareness Month

By Chris Larson, Infection Preventionist/Patient Safety Specialist and Phyllis McDonald, Quality Management Specialist Skiff Medical Center You probably have never heard of it. In fact, only 55 percent of adults in the U.S. ever have. It’s sneaky and is the result of your body’s immune system turning on itself instead of fighting the cause — an infection. It can start from something as simple as a tiny cut. It doesn’t discriminate and can happen to anyone — young or old, healthy or ill. Every year, more than 258,000 people in the U.S. die from it, more than from prostate cancer, breast cancer and AIDS combined. The most devastating part is that it’s treatable, especially when it’s caught early and treated properly. What is it? Sepsis.

Sepsis is your body’s overwhelming and life-threatening response to infection. When your body’s immune system is fighting an infection, it can turn on itself and start attacking your organ systems, leading to organ failure, amputation and death.

Symptoms of sepsis include a combination of shivering or fever, extreme pain or discomfort, pale or discolored skin, sleepiness and difficultly to rouse,

shortness of breath and a feeling like you might die. It’s important to seek medical attention right away if you have an infection or you suspect an infection, and you are showing a combination of these symptoms. The quicker sepsis is diagnosed and treated, the higher the chance of survival with no or minimal long-term after affects, such as amputations September is Sepsis Awareness Month. It’s a time when individuals, health-care professionals and organizations speak up about sepsis to raise awareness, including the signs and symptoms, because even just knowing what it is can save someone’s life.

Know the signs: S: Shivering, fever or very cold E: Extreme pain or general discomfort P: Pale or discolored skin S: Sleepy, difficult to rouse, confused I: “I feel like I might die” S: Shortness of breath Mortality from sepsis increases 8 percent for every hour treatment is delayed. As many as 80 percent of sepsis deaths could be prevented with rapid diagnosis and treatment.

Sepsis is the body’s toxic response to infection. And infection can occur anywhere in the body from a multitude of causes. Some of the more common

causes include urinary tract infections, pneumonia and the flu.

Sepsis can also develop from unexpected things like an infection after a tattoo or piercing or a dental procedure. Seemingly everyday things like cuts and mosquito bites can also cause sepsis if they become infected and aren’t treated properly.

So you know what sepsis is and the symptoms, now what?

Prevent infection in the first place by using good hygiene — wash your hands, properly care for open wounds, get vaccinations and seek medical attention if you suspect sepsis. You can also educate others. Sepsis Alliance has information and resources on its website, Sepsis. org, so you can arm yourself and others with knowledge about sepsis. Join me this month to raise sepsis awareness by knowing what sepsis is and the symptoms. Then tell someone else and ask them to tell another person. The more people we educate about sepsis, the more lives we can save.

Remember, every two minutes someone dies from sepsis­ a treatable condition that can start from any kind of infection.

So don’t hesitate if you suspect sepsis and get medical help as soon as you see the signs. You could save a life.

YMCA to raise awareness about fall prevention National Falls Prevention Awareness Day and the Newton YMCA are joining the National Council on Aging and the Falls Free Coalition for 10 Years Standing Together to Prevent Falls Sept. 22, a day of action to help raise awareness and prevention of falls in Newton and Jasper County.

Each year, it’s estimated that one out of three Americans aged 65 or older will suffer a fall, leaving many of these adults with a fear of falling that can cause them to limit physical activities. This leads to reduced mobility and diminished quality of life, and actually increases their risk of falling. In addition, as the population ages falls put an immense strain on the health care system, with the financial toll expected to reach $67.7 billion by 2020. The good news is that falls are preventable.

With a focus on healthy aging, the Y is committed to helping older adults learn their fall risk and access programs that can help them reduce their

risk for falls.

“Falls are preventable, but many older adults and their families don’t know how to safely get active; the good news is that organizations like the Y can help,” Rhonda Robson, associate executive director, said.

The first step to prevention is understanding risk. Older adults can assess their fall risk by taking a simple test at www.ymca.net/healthwb-fitness. Through this assessment, individuals can learn how routine activities and other factors help determine their risk for falls.

Once assessing risk,

The Newton American Legion

the next step is to take action. The Newton YMCA is helping to improve the health and well-being of older adults across the country through programs like Chair Cardio/ Strength, Body Sculpt, Water Exercise, Aqua Fit, Arthritis Foundation YMCA Aquatic Program (AFYAP) and Yoga.

These group fitness classes focus on balance and core strength.

The Newton Y would like to extend an offer to all community seniors, come try its Chair Cardio/Strength and Water Exercise Friday for free.

The class is a wonderful opportunity to see how

the Y can help prevent falls. The Water Exercise is from 9 to 10 a.m. and the Cardio/Strength Chair class is from 10 to 10:45 a.m. Come join the fun.

The CDC suggests these basic lifestyle and safety changes to help reduce risk or prevent falls: • Begin an exercise program to improve your leg strength and balance.

• Ask your doctor or pharmacist to review your medicines.

• Get annual eye check-ups and update your eyeglasses.

Make your home safer by: • Removing clutter and tripping hazards.

• Putting railings on all stairs and adding grab bars in the bathroom.

• Installing proper lighting, especially on stairs.

Woman’s co-workers ridicule her extreme aversion to blood DEAR ABBY: I’m a 30-year-old female who has extreme hemophobia. I cannot see blood or hear people talk about anything blood-related. I pass out when my blood is drawn, and I cannot have a finger-prick blood test either. It’s even difficult for me to write this message.

I work in an office and I have told my co-workers about my problem and asked them to please avoid the topic when I’m present. They think my request is unreasonable and that I’m just being silly. When someone brings up the subject, I quickly leave the room, sit down out of earshot and put my head between my legs.

Then they laugh at me. When I mentioned this problem to my supervisor, he said he doesn’t feel there is anything he can do about it because it’s not a subject that is against company policy or taboo.

I’m just looking for some compassion and understanding from my co-workers. I don’t want to have to find another job, but I can’t keep running for cover every day, and I don’t want to pass out and injure myself. How can I make them see that this is a real medical problem and I’m not just looking for attention? — PASSING OUT IN MISSOURI DEAR PASSING OUT: Unless you work in a doctor’s office or a blood bank, I fail to see why the subject of blood would come up on a regular basis. Because your co-workers know how it affects you, I can only assume that they are either extremely thoughtless and insensitive, or do it intentionally to upset you or make you sick.

Raise the subject again with your supervisor. Explain that you don’t want to look for another job and what they’re doing is creating the opposite of a friendly work envi-

ronment. If he still won’t intervene, consider discussing your problem with a mental health professional who specializes in phobias, because there may be a therapy that can help to lessen or even eliminate your condition.

DEAR ABBY: I am wondering about the use of the term “fiancee.”

Urban Dictionary says it is now considered a “White Trash culture” term for a long-term girlfriend. I’m beginning to hear it used more and more often by people I certainly would not think of as white trash. Is there another way to refer to a significant other when no wedding is planned or a date set? Do other cultures or languages have a word for this? — WONDERING ABOUT WORDS DEAR WONDERING: “Fiancee” is a word of French origin that is defined as “a woman engaged to be married.” When couples cohabitate with no plan to marry, the term they often use when referring to their significant other is “partner.”

Of course, our culture is more liberal than some others that label those who choose to live this way as “fornicators.” While other cultures may have terms for it, I am unfamiliar with them.

over food service

SIOUX CITY — A western Iowa nursing home plans to challenge a $5,000 fine and the potential loss of federal funding after the state issued a negative report about the quality of its dietary program. Touchstone Healthcare Community in Sioux City was cited for multiple violations with its food program and two unrelated infractions.

Touchstone is a 125-bed care facility that has operated in Sioux City since 1978.

Man serving life for double homicide files appeal MASON CITY — A north Iowa man serving life in prison for killing two people last year is appealing his conviction.

Peter Veal, 31 of Lake Mills, filed the appeal in Cerro Gordo County District Court on Wednesday. He was sentenced earlier this month to two life sentences after being convicted in July of two counts of first-degree murder and one count of attempted murder.

In November, officers found the bodies of Caleb Christensen and Melinda Kavars in a Mason City home.

Man dies in crash after fleeing police stop SPIRIT LAKE — A man has died after crashing his pickup truck near a northwestern Iowa lake during a police chase.

Iowa’s budget won’t prompt special session DES MOINES (AP) — A projected shortfall in Iowa’s roughly $7.2 billion budget has shrunk and will not require a special legislative session to fix, state officials announced Wednesday.

Budget experts who work under the administration of Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds presented documentation that shows the state budget that ended in June will have a shortfall of about $13 million once final figures are tallied. That is much smaller than a roughly $100 million shortfall projected earlier this summer by a nonpartisan agency.

The announcement means Reynolds will not have to call lawmakers back to the state Capitol ahead of the session that starts in January. She has authority without legislative action to transfer up to $50 million in emergency funds to plug a budget shortfall.

Reynolds had said for weeks that her staff was waiting until the end of September, when final accounting would be tallied for the budget year, to assess whether a special session was needed. Budget officials said final adjustments on a range of incoming tax revenue shrunk the expected shortfall. “We have been monitoring funds daily since the end of the fiscal year on June 30 and took a measured approach in dealing with the state’s finances,� Reynolds said in a statement. “We continue to closely monitor the current fiscal year’s balance sheet and do not believe action is needed at this time.�

The $13 million that Reynolds will end up transferring from emergen-

cy reserves will need to be paid back during the budget year that’s currently in effect, which could translate into additional funding cuts down the road. Iowa lawmakers already tapped reserve funds earlier this year to address a separate budget shortfall of about $131 million. In January, they cut more than $100 million from the same budget in part by reducing agency spending.

The nonpartisan Legislative Services Agency said data does show major revenue improvements in the final months of accounting. “On June 30 things did not look so good for FY 2017,� said agency analyst Jeff Robinson, referencing the budget year that ended in June. “A rough calculation showed the revenue shortfall to be about $100 million. However, as if a switch was thrown, the revenue steam began to improve right after June 30.�

Some Democrats in the Republican-controlled Legislature still expressed skepticism at the figures.

Des Moines Sen. Nate Boulton, who’s seeking the Democratic Party’s nomination for governor next year, said he wants to review the numbers to ensure there isn’t deferred billing at work. “It was surprising to see these numbers come out as healthy as they did at a very convenient time,� he said.

Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett, Reynolds’ challenger next year in the GOP gubernatorial primary, also said he wanted to see how the math added up. He suggested Reynolds call a special session anyway to address budgeting concerns.

Local lawmakers react to governor’s announcement

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News Even though they won’t be called back into a special session, local lawmakers still have concerns about the state’s budget issues.

Rep. Wes Breckenridge, D-Newton, said that the issue raises “red flags� in the way state officials have handled the budget. “My biggest concern is that we’re putting off this debt to Breckenridge carry over into 2018, and that’s going to cost us in the end,�

Breckenridge said. “We need to start being more fiscally responsible with our money.�

Breckenridge said he’s concerned some bills may not be paid, or services that taxAllen payers are relying on may be cut, an idea he’s uncomfortable with. Warning “hard choices� may be ahead, Breckenridge said lawmakers will need to look over the budget carefully when they return in January and find a way to fix the state’s budget shortfall.

“We need a broader approach to fixing our budget issues, what we’re doing is apparently not working,�

Breckenridge said.

As a member of the appropriations committee Breckenridge said it’s the Legislature’s responsibility to make sure taxpayers get a good return on their money. Part of that return includes making sure tax incentive deals represent the same value for the taxpayer that they do for the businesses they draw into the state. “We need to make sure that we’re getting the bang for our buck,� Breckenridge said.

Sen. Chaz Allen, D-Newton, said he agreed with Breckenridge. In a statement released Wednesday night Allen said he’s still waiting to see where things end up with the budget once the final numbers are released at the end of this month. Allen said he expects legislators will have to start in January by figuring out where to make cuts to cover the shortfall the state is expecting. “Though I have concerns about how the state of Iowa went from a $100 million shortfall to only a $14.6 million shortfall, the revenue estimates are still preliminary and could change,� Allen said. “I’ll withhold judgment until we close the books on Sept. 30 and can see the actual numbers.�

Annual Wesley Minister Dog Show returns to Park Centre Saturday

By Kayla Singletary Newton Daily News The annual Wesley Minster Dog Show will return to Park Centre Saturday with creative dog costumes and entertaining tricks.

In its third year, Park Centre along with the Jasper County Animal Rescue League invites the public to dress up their furry friends and enter them into four contests all while supporting a local cause.

The free event is set for 10 a.m. to noon in Park Centre’s Courtyard. Registration is at 9 a.m. The contest will also in-

clude door prizes, a bake sale and trophies for the winners of the show. All proceeds from the bake sale will go to JCARL. Park Centre activities director Stacie Madole said the event, which was once just for residents and employees, has turned into a public affair. “I came up with the dog show because I have 4-H in my background and I showed dogs. I also was the superintendent of the cat show at the Jasper County Fair,� Madole said. “When I brought the dog show to Park Centre it was a huge hit, and it has gotten even bigger since its first year.�

Marole said last year was the first year they teamed up with JCARL. The event will also feature the co-owner of Pet Kingdom, Sharon Wallway, as the contest’s judge. “Last year the event brought in over $200 and we are hoping to do more this year,� Madole said. “The animal rescue league will also bring six dogs that are up for adoption.�

Pet owners can enter their dogs into four contest categories including best dressed, best look-a-like, best trick and the happiest hound. There will also be a best in show trophy, which could be given to the

VETERANS

same pup. “The best part is seeing all of the costumes and people’s ideas,� Madole said. “You never know what you’re going to see.�

Madole said the residents at Park Centre enjoy interacting with children and dogs, and both will be guaranteed at the event. “We hope the event will continue to grow and the word will continue to get out,� Madole said. “People love dressing up their dogs and the event allows attendees to mingle with residents as well as put a spotlight on our rescue league.�

A handful of local business-

es donated door prizes such as Fine Things Reclaimed, Silverado Jewelry and the Newton Animal Clinic.

Park Centre will be taking donations of litter, canned cat and dog food and laundry soap on the day of the dog show to benefit JCARL. The dog show will be on the northeast side of Park Centre in the courtyard. Street parking will be available around Park Centre and on the west side of the building.

Fantasy Football Matchups

Will McCaffrey breakout against Saints?

MATCHUPS TO EXPLOIT

FANTASY FORECAST | WEEK 3

Carolina Panthers

QUARTERBACKS

(VS. NEW ORLEANS SAINTS) How can a Carolina club that failed to find the end zone and barely won at home in a 9-6 defensive struggle while losing its best player on offense be in this space?

The 2017 Saints, that’s how.

Exploiting Saints defenses is nothing new, but coordinator Dennis Allen’s unit has sunk to new lows, the perfect elixir for what ails Carolina’s slowly evolving offense.

Could this be the Christian McCaffrey breakout game his owners covet? New Orleans has surrendered an NFL-high 18 receptions and 185 yards to running backs, and McCaffrey is out-snapping Jonathan Stewart considerably. Cam Newton, still adjusting to a new left tackle, now faces life without TE Greg Olsen for the first time in his career. Perhaps TEsized wideout Devin Funchess’ long-awaited breakout is finally here, too.

MUST START: Cam Newton, Jonathan Stewart, Christian McCaffrey, Kelvin Benjamin WORTH A LOOK: Devin Funchess

ACL surgery; Melvin Gordon, still waiting to reap the benefits of Anthony Lynn; and Henry, who should be the guy now that Antonio Gates’ career all-time touchdown record among tight ends is secure.

MUST START: Melvin Gordon, Keenan Allen SOLID PLAY: Philip Rivers, Hunter Henry, Tyrell Williams

Miami Dolphins

Washington

(AT NEW YORK JETS) Well, well ... Jay Cutler can still sling it after all. Cutler’s tidy Dolphins debut vs. the Chargers resulted in a 72.7 completion percentage, 101.8 rating and 19-17 victory in which Miami came from behind in the fourth quarter.

Aside from Jay Ajayi picking up where he left off in January, there wasn’t much fantasy goodness. But signs emerged not only indicating DeVante Parker (4-85 receiving) can be Cutler’s Alshon Jeffery, but Jarvis Landry (15 targets, 13 catches) may be his Matt Forte. Against a small-ish Jets secondary that was outmuscled by Michael Crabtree, expect Miami’s one-two receiving punch to do the same and Miami’s ‘D’ to let Gang Green stay competitive long enough for the wideouts to again be needed.

MUST START: Jay Ajayi SOLID PLAY: DeVante Parker, Jarvis Landry, Jay Cutler, Dolphins D/ST

(VS. OAKLAND RAIDERS) Here we have one of the NFL’s more explosive offenses from a year ago and one of its more defenseless stop-units, neither of which has played to its 2016 form.

But Kirk Cousins delivering in crunch time to spoil old pal Sean McVay’s home debut with the Rams might be just the jolt that offense needs. Also, the Raiders let Josh McCown’s Jets hang around for a two-and-a-half quarters and they travel cross-country to play in prime time. It’s going to happen soon for Cousins and Terrelle Pryor, who’ve synced up on just eight-of-15 chances but none more important than the final one last week to move the sticks on the game-winning drive (Josh Doctson is another story). With or without Rob Kelley (rib injury, check status), it should happen again for Chris Thompson (106 scrimmage yards, two TDs) against the Raiders’ susceptible linebackers MUST START: Jordan Reed* SOLID PLAY: Kirk Cousins, Terrelle Pryor, Jamison Crowder, Rob Kelley* Chris Thompson

MATCHUPS TO AVOID

Jacksonville Jaguars

(VS. BALTIMORE RAVENS) Baltimore has overcome perhaps the offseason’s worst string of injuries and the loss of arguably its best player, OG Marshal Yanda, Sunday to a season-ending ankle injury to start 2-0. The Ravens, of course, have done it namely on the strength of their defense (and thanks to the weakness of their opponents), which has an NFL-high eight interceptions, while surrendering the second-lowest points allowed through two games.

Jaguars top pick Leonard Fournette, after a strong debut, found himself in a Week 2 timeshare with Chris Ivory and struggling to find space with an Allen Robinson-less passing game tied for 24th in explosive plays. That Jacksonville kicked the tires this week on Doug Marrone’s former Syracuse QB Ryan Nassib tells you where this offense is headed… and it isn’t pretty.

WORTH A LOOK: Leonard

San Diego Chargers (VS. KANSAS CITY CHIEFS) New coach and city, same old weekly fourth quarter “Chargering.” We’d say the fans deserve better, but who are we kidding — the Chargers don’t appear to have any fans left. What they do have is loads of offensive talent and a criminally underrated passer in Philip Rivers who’ll maximize it. The beauty of this matchup is Keenan Allen and Hunter Henry will avoid the wrath of Marcus Peters and injured Eric Berry, one week after Nelson Agholor again scored from the slot and Alshon Jeffery and TE Zach Ertz did work across the field from Peters. The Chiefs’ pass rush should get to Rivers, which magnifies the need for Rivers to get the ball out fast to Allen, who’s on fire in his return from

New York Giants

(AT PHILADELPHIA EAGLES) No team embarrassed itself more in Week 2 than Ben McAdoo’s Giants. They not only refused to replace poor LT Ereck Flowers in the offseason, they wouldn’t help him Monday night either as Ezekiel Ansah surpassed his 2016 sack total in a little more than 30 minutes. Now Big Blue’s offensive line — maybe the NFL’s worst east of Seattle — goes on the road to face a pass rush that has not one but multiple game wreckers. Odell Beckham, who returned from an ankle injury at least two weeks ahead of his doctors’ timeline, was ineffective and has a short turnaround.

Brandon Marshall owners can safely join in his drop party and look elsewhere for receiving help.

WORTH A LOOK: Odell Beckham, Evan Engram

Chicago Bears (VS. PITTSBURGH STEELERS) Chicago’s offense has two things going for it — its running backs and tight ends. The backs, banged-up Jordan Howard and rookie Tarik Cohen, again figure to fall victim to a disadvantageous game script against a Steelers offense that still hasn’t fully awakened. The tight ends attracted all of two targets while a noncompetitive loss Sunday in Tampa Bay could still be called an actual football game. Chicago’s offensive line could be down as many as three starters. And don’t get us started on the absence of NFL-caliber wideouts, never mind a downfield passing attack getting less done than every team except Brian Hoyer’s 49ers and the Tom Savage-Deshaun Watson combo in Houston.

SOLID PLAY: Tarik Cohen WORTH A LOOK: Jordan Howard

San Francisco 49ers

(VS. LOS ANGELES RAMS) Speaking of Hoyer (two INTs, 4.7 YPA), it’ll be interesting to see which happens first: him being replaced by C.J. Beathard, or Hoyer’s replacement, Mike Glennon, getting the hook in favor of Mitchell Trubisky.

The one bit of encouraging news for Kyle Shanahan — besides that six-year contract — on an offense yet to score a touchdown might be Carlos Hyde. The NFC’s second-leading rusher has emerged as Shanahan’s workhorse (79-plus percent

Cardinals, Bobcats face off in district play

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Four games are what Newton High’s Cardinals and the rest of the Class 4A District 4 football teams had to prepare for the final five weeks of action. What the six teams Pregame of District 4 do over Outlook the next five weeks will determine which district teams advance into the 4A playoffs in October.

First up for the Cardinals is a road game at Marshalltown on Friday. The Cardinals (40) and Bobcats (1-3) kick off 4A District 4 play at 7:30 p.m. on Friday at Marshalltown’s Leonard Cole Field.

“Newton and Marshalltown have a longtime rivalry.

It’s their homecoming game, so they’ll be ready to come out and play well against us,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said. “You can’t go on records. We have to be ready to play from the opening kickoff to the end.”

Newton is the lone undefeated team in Class 4A District 4, but the district favorite is 4A third-ranked West Des Moines Valley (3-1). Southeast Polk (2-2), Fort Dodge (3-1) and Newton each have received votes in the recent Iowa high school 4A football poll.

Valley opens district play at Fort Dodge on Friday. Southeast Polk plays at Indianola (3-1).

“Marshalltown runs the same type of offense we’ve seen the past few weeks. Their

quarterback is a dual threat athlete, who throws the ball well. They have a good running back. They run the zoneread, spread offense and we have to be ready to defend it all,” Ergenbright said.

Senior quarterback Sam Irwin leads the Bobcat offense as its leading passer and rusher. He is 41-of-76 for 570 yards passing with three touchdowns and three interceptions. Irwin has rushed for 280 yards on 54 carries. Junior Alex Rockingham has carried the ball 40 times for 99 yards.

The Bobcats are coming off a 56-14 loss to Waterloo West.

Newton and Marshalltown have one common non-district opponent in Waterloo East.

Newton beat Waterloo East, 56-26, in the second week of the season and Marshalltown dropped an 18-15 decision to Waterloo East the next week.

“Every team is different even if they run the same type of offense. We’ve made some personnel changes this week on both sides of the football.

We’ve had three good days of practices so I believe our guys are focused in on the task at hand,” Ergenbright said.

Newton takes the District 4’s top rushing attack into the game. Newton averages 7.7 yards a carry as a team as the Cardinals have amassed 1,615 yards on 210 carries this season with 24 rushing touchdowns. The Cardinals are the second best rushing team in Class 4A after four weeks with Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson the top ream at 1,644 yards on 215 carries.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Senior Jaron Roush (28) is one of five running backs powering Newton High’s Cardinals to the second-best rushing team in Class 4A in Iowa. The Cardinals head into Class 4A District 4 play Friday at Marshalltown with the top running game in the district.

“We do what we do. It starts with blocking the rocket sweeps then we work in from there. When we execute our offense well, it’s tough for teams to stop. I’m not saying it can’t be stopped, but our guys are working to get better and better each week,” Ergenbright said. “With our motion

and mis-direction plays, it’s a lot to defend.”

On defense, Newton has moved Grant Garvis from outside linebacker to inside linebacker and Cole Cazett from a defensive back to outside linebacker. Jaise Gulling had started the first four games as a linebacker, but

now is back at defensive end where he caused havoc from that position last year.

Ergenbright said he believes his team is ready for 4A district action.

C-M looks to grab momentum Cardinal golfers finish in softer part of schedule 10th in SEP Invitational Area Prep Football Game Previews

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News The win-loss results so far haven’t been what the Colfax-Mingo football team wanted when they kicked off the season in August.

The Tigerhawks enter Week 5 with just one win, but the record of teams which defeated Colfax-Mingo is 14-2.

The good news for the Tigerhawks is the slate gets a lot easier in the next four weeks.

The combined record of Colfax-Mingo’s next four opponents is 3-13, and that stretch begins against winless Grand View Christian in a Class A District 5 contest at 7 p.m. Friday in Colfax.

The Tigerhawks can put together a win streak and show that they are much better than the team which finished 1-8 last year.

“It will be nice to have a stretch where we have the opportunity to get some momentum,” Colfax-Mingo coach Jeff Lietz said. “We’re a few things away from being a good football team in our eyes, and we hope to get some wins here in the coming

New rules are taking the fun out of football W

hen it comes to how you act in athletic competition, I am old school.

I dislike a lot of showboating. I think you can go overboard with how you celebrate.

Maybe I would be considered to be against fun. I can deal with that.

When I watched Akrum Wadley get flagged for “excessive celebration” against North Texas last weekend, I expected to see some kind of replay that shows Wadley showing up his competition.

There was no such video. There was no showing up of anyone.

Wadley took a few high steps into the end zone. He didn’t look back at his opponent like Saquon Barkley did to the Iowa defense last year. Wadley

weeks.”

Friday’s game against the Thunder (0-4) is homecoming. The week is full of activities that can be distracting off the field. Lietz doesn’t feel like that will be an issue for his squad.

“They are pretty focused,” Lietz said. “It’s not like we have done anything to overlook anyone at this point. I want them to enjoy the week, but it’s a juggling act. The most important thing about this week is the football game.

PREP PREVIEWS | 2B

This & That Troy Hyde has done that a few times in his career.

Saturday was first time he was flagged.

He even told reporters Tuesday that he’s never even been warned by an official.

Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said it has become a point of emphasis this year for the officials. And he’s right about Wadley being too good to have to do that kind of stuff.

But why is something so harmless so wrong?

If you do something great and then boast in the face of your competition, you should get flagged.

The penalty against Wadley is essentially taking the fun out of football.

The National Football League hasn’t done well in the public relations department lately, but it even loosened the reins on celebration penalties.

They don’t let players use props, but they allow them to have a little fun.

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News PLEASANT HILL — In their final competition before taking to the Class 4A district links, Newton High’s Cardinal boys played against some of the top 4A golf teams in the state at Wednesday’s Southeast Polk Invitational.

The Cardinals competed in their second and final Simmons fall invitational at Cooper Creek Golf Course. Four of the top 10 ranked teams were on the course with the Cardinals.

Top-ranked Marshalltown was led by No. 1 ranked Cole Davis to a five stroke win over seventh-ranked Waukee, 295-300. Davis shot a 69 to win the individual title.

Third-ranked Valley was third

It’s just better for the game.

Another hot topic this week involves ticket sales and sold out stadiums.

Iowa still hasn’t sold out its night game with Penn State this weekend.

Should it be? Probably. But I get it.

There are a lot factors that are making fans think twice about spending all day inside or around athletic stadiums.

This particular game may be puzzling to some. I know both teams are undefeated and that Penn State is ranked fifth. But the in-home experience is growing by the day. And the $95 ticket price is not affordable for everyone.

I haven’t verified this yet, but I read on social media Wednesday that Iowa City hotels were making patrons pay for two nights this weekend if they decided to spend the night and not make the drive home at midnight.

If that’s the case, a family of four is looking at $400 for tickets, $200 for two nights in a hotel room and food and drinks for the day. Add in the cost for gas to get there and it’s a quite expensive activity.

with a 306 followed by fifth-ranked Dowling Catholic at 310.

Newton’s golfers combined for a 373, finishing 10th.

Senior Shaiden Simmons carded an 88 on rounds of 45 and 43 to lead the Cardinals. Damon Reynolds, a sophomore, shot a 93 (48-45) followed by junior Colin McAnally with a 95 (49-46), and senior Nate Vanzee had a 97 (52-45).

Sophomore Nate Keith shot a 101 (53-48) and junior Devon Young had a 124 (65-59).

Newton is in the 4A district with Valley, Waukee, eighth-ranked Ames, Indianola, Mason City, Southeast Polk, Urbandale, Des Moines Lincoln, Des Moines East, Des Moines Hoover, Des Moines North and Des Moines Roosevelt. Ames is hosting the tournament starting at 10 a.m. on Oct. 3 at Veenkier Golf Course.

I have seen several games at Kinnick, both as a fan in the stands or as a photographer on the sidelines. The experience is great.

But I also wouldn’t be able to justify spending $700 for one day in Iowa City if I had to pay for all those things I mentioned.

I don’t know what the real reason for fans not wanting to be in the stadium Saturday night is. I am sure there are different reasons for each fan.

I do know that I won’t ever bash on a fan base for not selling out a stadium for every game.

Iowa State has sold out a lot of games in recent years, but the Cyclones also don’t have to get to 70,000 to sell out Jack Trice Stadium.

Iowa will have at least 66,000 fans in attendance this weekend. Iowa State can’t get that much into its stadium so that argument is not valid.

If you go to Kinnick Stadium on Saturday, I hope you have a blast, cheer loud and the Hawks win. If you don’t, I won’t think you’re less of a fan.

Three homers power Cardinals to win over Reds CINCINNATI (AP) — Dexter Fowler homered for the third straight game while Matt Carpenter and Paul DeJong also homered as the St. Louis Cardinals gained ground in their National League playoff push with a 9-2 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Wednesday night.

Tommy Pham finished with two doubles, a single and two RBIs and Yadier Molina added a two-run double as the thirdplace Cardinals (79-72) gained a game on Colorado in the wild-card race to move within 2 ½ games. St. Louis sits five

Tuivailala teamed up to retire 12 of the final 13 Reds batters.

Rays 8, Cubs 1 ST. PETRSBURG, Fla. (AP) — Blake Snell gave up two hits in seven shutout innings and the Tampa Bay Rays ended the Chicago Cubs’ season-best seven-game winning streak 8-1 on Wednesday night.

The Cubs, who had not lost since being swept by the Milwaukee Brewers in a threegame series in Chicago on Sept. 8-10, are scheduled to open a four-game series in Milwaukee on Thursday night.

Prep Previews Continued from Page 1B

The score is the only thing from homecoming that ends up in the yearbook.”

The Thunder has not won a game and only scored seven points in their first four games. The Tigerhawks’ lone win last year was a 42-6 defeat of the Thunder.

Grand View Christian will try to run the ball and suck out the clock with running back Peyton Leever and try to keep Colfax-Mingo’s passing attack off the field.

The Thunder have only passed for 82 yards on the season. Leever has 384 yards rushing, nine catches for 77 yards and 22 1/2 tackles on defense. Quarterback Clay Ramseyer leads the team with 31 1/2 tackles and has 118 rushing yards and a touchdown.

“We’ll have to stop the run better than we have the past two weeks,” said Lietz, whose team allowed 414 yards on the ground to Belle Plaine last week and 358 rushing yards to Hudson the week before.

On offense, Lietz said getting back to playing like they played in the first few weeks of the season is crucial to winning Friday night. He wants to run the ball better, too.

“We haven’t played that well the last few weeks,” Lietz said. “We ran the ball well against Saydel and didn’t do too bad the next two weeks either. The effort is there.

The technique needs to be better though.”

The Tigerhawks (1-4) are led by senior quarterback Reegan Van Dyke, senior wideout Alex Lewis and junior wide receiver Zarek Hill on offense. Van Dyke has thrown for 721 yards and seven touchdowns. Four of those TDs have been thrown to Lewis, who leads the team with 18 catches for 259 yards.

Hill has 17 catches for 189 yards and a TD on offense and leads the defense with 25 tackles and two interceptions.

Senior Jake Dunsbergen has a teamhigh 33 1/2 tackles. The C-M defense has eight picks, three sacks and six fumble recoveries this season.

After this week’s game against Grand View Christian, the Tigerhawks head to North Tama (1-3), host GMG (0-4) and then travel to BGM (2-2) before ending the season at home against the defending Class A champion and second-ranked Gladbrook Reinbeck Rebels (4-0).

fifth-ranked Lions.

It will be a tale of two teams. The Bolts will rely heavily on their passing game with quarterback Braydon Aker and a standout passing game, while the Lions will counter with a rushing attack that has already gained more than 1,000 yards.

Lone Tree’s offense is averaging 47 points per game, and the Lions’ defense is surrendering only 12.4 points per game.

Only one team has scored more than 20 points against the Lions this season.

Senior Brock Smith headlines Lone Tree on both sides of the ball. He has passed for 127 yards and two scores, rushed for 135 yards and two TDs and caught 11 passes for 241 yards and four scores.

Defensively, Smith has 36 1/2 tackles, four tackles for loss, two sacks and three fumble recoveries.

Sophomore Harmon Miller has thrown for 507 yards with nine touchdowns and no picks. Bryce Houser leads the team with 525 rushing yards and 11 TDs. On the other sideline, Baxter’s passing offense is one of the best in 8-man football. Aker has thrown for class-high 1,033 yards and 20 TDs with only three picks.

Aker’s favorite target has been Travis Lindemoen, who leads the class with 625 yards and 12 TDs on just 25 catches.

He also has punt return and kick return touchdowns.

The defense has eight picks, six fumble recoveries and four sacks. Senior Marcus Mitchell leads the way with 34 1/2 tackles, six tackles for loss and two fumble recoveries, and senior Devin Carson has 31 1/2 tackles and two picks.

Central Lee (3-1, 2-0) at No. 8 PCM (3-1, 2-0) The two best teams from 2A District 6 last year face off in a game that could decide the district in 2017. Both teams are 2-0 in district play and neither team has been challenged.

The common opponent is Albia. PCM defeated the Blue Demons 61-6, and Central Lee won 38-0. PCM’s lone loss this year came against 1A No. 3 Pella Christian by two points. Central Lee lost to Fort Madison, 56-35.

The Mustangs have outscored district opponents 135-20 so far.

They held a 3 1/2-game lead over the Brewers entering Wednesday.

Steven Souza Jr. hit his 30th home run in the first inning and the Rays added three more runs in the second off Jon Lester.

Wilson Ramos, who had three of Tampa Bay’s 10 hits, made it 7-0 with a two-run single in the fifth that knocked Lester (11-8) out of the game.

Lester, who had won three starts since coming off the disabled list on Sept. 2, gave up seven runs and eight hits with three walks in 4 1/3 innings.

1,103 yards and 16 touchdowns this season. Three different players have gained at least 300 yards on the ground.

Austin Gaylord has 315 passing yards, 300 rushing yards and eight total TDs. He’s also returned a kick for a score.

The Mustang offense has thrown for 730 yards and rushed for 697 yards.

PCM will have to identify Jared Brisby, who leads Central Lee with 32 1/2 tackles, eight tackles for loss and five sacks this season.

Reed Worth has thrown for 690 yards and 10 TDs for PCM. The top three rushers, which includes Worth, Wes Cummings and Noah Anderson, are averaging more than nine yards per carry combined.

Junior Preston Van Wyk has 309 receiving yards and four TDs on just eight catches.

No. 10 Lynnville-Sully (4-0, 2-0) at Winfield-Mt. Union (0-4, 0-2) On paper, these matchup appears to be a mismatch.

The ranked Hawks have rushed for more than 1,000 yards in four games, and Winfield-Mt. Union has scored only 19 points on the season.

Lynnville-Sully is outscoring its Class A District 6 opponents 128-14 in two games.

The Wolves have been shutout twice and rushed for only 323 yards in four games.

Four L-S players have rushed for at least 190 yards. The ground game leads the Hawk offense, and senior Sage Zylstra is the leader with 308 yards and five scores.

Fox says Bears sticking with Glennon as starting quarterback LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Mike Glennon remains the Chicago Bears’ starting quarterback. The wait for No. 2 overall draft pick Mitchell Trubisky continues.

Coach John Fox said the Bears won’t be changing quarterbacks for their game against the Pittsburgh Steelers this weekend despite a rough outing by Glennon in his return to Tampa Bay as Chicago fell to 0-2.

“Mike Glennon will be our starting quarterback against Pittsburgh and we’re going to do everything we can to get him prepared,” Fox said Monday. “Not just Mike Glennon, our whole football team.”

He insisted the Bears “still feel pretty good” with the fifth-year pro and the problems in their 29-7 loss to the Buccaneers go beyond the quarterback.

Glennon struggled to move the offense through the first

three quarters in a 23-17 season-opening loss to Atlanta Chicago missed several chances to score a touchdown in the final seconds of that game. Against Tampa Bay, Glennon flopped in the city where he spent his first four years. He threw two interceptions with one getting returned for a touchdown and lost a fumble on a sack, leading to another TD, after playing turnover-free ball in the opener.

“I think after two games it’s really hard to evaluate somebody,” Fox said. “We’re playing arguably one of the better teams we’re going to play this year at home. We’re going to do everything in our power to look a little bit like we did in Week 1 than in Week 2. It gives us a chance.”

The Bears are a combined 0-8 in September in three seasons under Fox. They also go from hosting Pittsburgh to

visiting Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers for a Thursday night game.

Even if the Bears were at full strength, this would be a tough spot to start a rookie quarterback. And they are far from full strength.

Top receivers Cameron Meredith and Kevin White are on injured reserve. Running back Jordan Howard hurt his shoulder in the opener and ran for just 7 yards against Tampa Bay. An offensive line that was already missing Kyle Long took a few more hits against the Buccaneers with Josh Sitton (ribs) and Tom Compton (hip) leaving the game.

Tight end Zach Miller called Glennon “very capable.”

He said the Bears struggled “across the board.”

Even so, Glennon has done little to settle a debate that picked up steam in the preseason.

TODAY!

Astrograph

The benefit of that particularly awful emotion called “shame” is that it keeps us aware of other people’s expectations. Who doesn’t feel shame? Psychopaths, that’s who. Regardless, between yesterday’s new moon and tomorrow’s autumnal equinox, this is a good time to let some of the shame go. The emotion doesn’t deserve such a large role.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.

21). You care deeply about others and now self-care -not selfishness! -- will be the focus. Self-discovery allows you to give the best you to the world. Faulty learning of the past will be overwritten in October. Freer than ever,

you’ll begin a new hobby. Your earnings multiply in 2018, a reflection of your confidence.

Gemini and Pisces adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 40, 27, 31, 26 and 5.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

It’s said that words should be weighed, not counted. The tone of your messages today will be clearly felt and with the precise intensity level that you meant.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Can love really make impossible things happen? Extraordinary things, for sure. Love is your super fuel today. You apply yourself differently when you’re powered with love’s high octane.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Science tells us a lot these days. Just keep in mind that science thought it was telling us a lot 200 years ago, too, and we didn’t even know about germs then. Stick with what works for you, whether or not it’s scientifically sound.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’ve experienced injustice in your life so you know, when you see it happening to others, the gamut of emotions that are involved, especially the fear.

This is why you help to right the wrongs.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). When you admire the way a person thinks, you want to be near the person to share your appreciation and to understand better,

maybe even adopt, that manner of thinking.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Reasoning is option one; force is option two. Force can be effective, but it also produces an equal and opposite reaction. It will be better to walk away and do what it takes to recharge powers of reason before deciding on option two.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Those close to you really don’t care how many of your personal goals you reach. They love you beyond such things.

You will be loved dearly whether or not you accomplish anything. But this isn’t about them; it’s about you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Even the best conversations will eventually peter out if you don’t introduce new topics. Relationships are the same. New focus keeps them from going stale. Today’s introduction will keep things fresh.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Problems cause moods and moods cause problems.

Regardless of the origin, foul vibes will be fixed. Exercise solves problems unrelated to health and so does inspirational reading, power posing and positive thinking.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your super talent today is that you’re thought provoking.

People will ask for your evaluation and you’re likely to give a strong and truthful answer,

different from the ones already on the table.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You don’t have to share a person’s belief system to understand, respect and apply it to helping the situation.

Sometimes the mere act of accepting another person causes that person to bend a little in your direction.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

In the interest of tracking your learning process, identify milestones and celebrate those milestones. Keep this trend up and you’ll soon be a masterful expert.
