Manufacturing company to invest $6M, add 57 new jobs at former Maytag Plant 2

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Global Fiberglass Solution, Inc., of Bothell, Wash., has selected the Maytag Plant 2 building for its fiberglass recycling operation and will invest $6 million and create 57 new jobs in the process.

“We’re pleased, we have been working with them for several months,” Newton Development Corporation Executive Director Frank Liebl said. “At first they were just going to make it a storage facility for the blades but after they saw the space they thought it was not only going

to be a great place to store but to manufacture.”

The company plans to create an innovative processing and manufacturing facility in Newton using recycled materials, mostly fiberglass, from decommissioned wind blades and other products. Liebl said instead of the waste ending

up in landfills, the company repurposes the more than 15,000 pounds of fiberglass per blade into new, useful products including manhole covers, building panels and pellets.

“It keeps the blades out of the landfills and repurposes everything,” Liebl said. “It is

While GFS currently works with a company who takes down blades in Illinois and South Dakota, it is also starting to make connections with local companies that have fiberglass waste.

Mike Mendenhall/Daily News Mary Madlcok of Norwalk, and Gina Scheetz-Lazio of West Des Moines, tour model tiny homes Saturday during TinyFest Midwest at the Jasper County Fairgrounds in Colfax. The two-day festival brought hundreds of visitors to Jasper County, some from as far as St. Louis and Indiana, to learn about tiny living.

Tiny home exhibitions shows homeowners how to live small

By Mike Mendenhall Newton Daily News COLFAX — Lounging on a tiny couch, in a tiny living room, wearing a TinyFest Midwest T-shirt, Darren Mike knows a thing or two about tiny homes.

Stepping through a sliding glass door onto a retractable

front porch, Mike explains the tiny house on display Saturday at the Jasper County Fairgrounds is the same model as the home owned by his family, designed

by Des Moines-based tiny house company Built on the Fly. Drafted using 3-D imaging, the 200 square foot, 24-foot long house sits on a trailer rig, built

and constructed piece by piece like a puzzle in 72 hours. Mike said the manufacturer cuts electrical channels into the pieces. It can be designed to install solar panels, on board batteries and plumbing hook-ups.

Mike and his wife Melody recently sold their 2,800 square foot home between Omaha and Lincoln, Neb. to live in two, 200 square foot trailers with their four kids and dog. The tiny TINY | 3A

As the school year gets underway, some students are feeling the pinch as new rules about cell phone us age take effect at B e r g Middle School.

At the Langstraat school, v i c e principal Steph Langstraat said the policy change was motivated by staff concerns over social media issues.

Previously, cell phones had been allowed on a case-by-case basis in the

classrooms, with some teachers incorporating them into classroom activities. Now, cell phones are only allowed during the three minute passing period between classes, and in the common areas like the cafeteria, during lunchtime. Langstraat estimated that more 95 percent of the student population at Berg has a cell phone.

“We had lots of issues with cell phones and issues with social media last year that created a lot of angst and hurt,” Langstraat said.

Under the new policy, students at Berg in grades 5-6 have a no phone policy, and teachers will confiscate cell PHONES | 8A

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Monday, Sept. 25, the 268th day of 2017. There are 97 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Sept. 25, 1957, nine black students who’d been forced to withdraw from Central High School in Little Rock, Ark., because of unruly white crowds were escorted to class by members of the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division.

On this date: In 1690, one of the earliest American newspapers, Publick Occurrences, published its first — and last — edition in Boston.

In 1775, American Revolutionary War hero Ethan Allen was captured by the British as he led an attack on Montreal. (Allen was released by the British in 1778.)

In 1789, the first United States Congress adopted 12 amendments to the Constitution and sent them to the states for ratification. (Ten of the amendments became the Bill of Rights.)

In 1956, the first trans-Atlantic telephone cable officially went into service with a three-way ceremonial call between New York, Ottawa and London.

In 1981, Sandra Day O’Connor was sworn in as the first female justice on the Supreme Court.

In 1992, NASA’s Mars Observer blasted off on a $980 million mission to the red planet (the probe disappeared just before entering Martian orbit in August 1993).

Ten years ago: Warren Jeffs, the leader of a polygamous Mormon splinter group, was convicted in St. George, Utah, of being an accomplice to rape for performing a wedding between a 19-year-old man and a 14-year-old girl. (The conviction was later overturned by the Utah Supreme Court; prosecutors ended up dropping the charges, since Jeffs is serving a life sentence in Texas in a separate case.)

Five years ago: President Barack Obama, speaking to the U.N. General Assembly, pledged U.S. support for Syrians trying to oust President Bashar Assad, calling him “a dictator who massacres his own people.” A survey of consumer confidence reached its highest level since February on expectations that hiring would soon pick up.

One year ago: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump met separately in New York with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, giving each candidate fresh foreign policy talking points on the eve of their first presidential debate. Golf legend Arnold Palmer, 87, died in Pittsburgh.

That’s Odd 300 bats caught by janitors at Salt Lake City high school SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A bat infestation prompted a Salt Lake City high school to cancel its after-school programs so school workers could root out the flying mammals.

Janitors at the city’s West High School rounded up more than 300 bats from Monday through Wednesday, prompting the school to close its doors Wednesday afternoon.

Some flying bats were caught in midflight by janitors using butterfly nets. Others were found sleeping in classroom corners.

Salt Lake City School District spokesman Jason Olsen said the high school lies in a migratory bat path.

Entertainment ‘Kingsman: The Golden Circle’ dethrones ‘It’ with $39M debut NEW YORK (AP) — The R-rated spy comedy “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” displaced the horror sensation “It” as the No. 1 film in North America, while the second “Lego Movie” spinoff of the year didn’t assemble the expected audience.

The 20th Century Fox release opened with a weekend-leading $39 million debut, according to studio estimates Sunday. But “It” still continues to pull in record crowds.

homes sat parallel to each other attached by a deck. How did it work with so many people in such tight quarters?

“It was awesome,” he said. “We lived there just long enough to catch zoning’s attention and we ended up getting kicked off the land we were living on. So we have this beautiful tiny house that’s in storage.”

With his day job as a digital project manager researcher with Berkshire Hathaway Media, Mike and his family traveled to Colfax over the weekend to give a lecture on simplifying your environment and “living tiny” at TinyFest Midwest, a festival and exhibition for all things tiny house.

Mike hopes he and his family can one day change attitudes and regulations in Saunders County, Neb. to return to living there.

“People don’t understand, I’m selling (my house) because I love tiny homes. My vision is changed. The kids are absolutely in love with our tiny house,” he said.

“They ask us all the time when we can get back into it. As soon as we can change legislation, we’re there.”

TinyFest Midwest brought live music, workshops and seminars to the Jasper County Fairgrounds in Colfax on Saturday and Sunday. Tiny houses are a movement. Enthusiasts traveled to Colfax from throughout Iowa and from as far away as St.

The move is bolstered by a recent award of direct financial assistance and tax benefits from the Iowa Economic Development Authority board. GFS is one of five companies to receive more than $48 million in new capital investments in the state.

Liebl said the company is working with Phoenix Investors, who owns and is refurbishing the building, to get the space ready with an expectation of some grinding work starting late this year and manufacturing to get underway at the start of 2018.

“This is the first phase of their operations and we are hoping for an expansion to come in the future,” city administrator Matt Muckler said. “The company fits well into Maytag Plant 2, having relationships with other companies in the wind industry.”

Mike Mendenhall/Daily News Debbie Stevens of Oskaloosa is all smiles Saturday after touring a wood-faced tiny home built by Tiny Green Cabins. The small lofted house is just one of nearly a dozen tiny home models which were on display this weekend during TinyFest Midwest at the Japer County Fairgrounds in Colfax.

UNI Associate Professor of Technology and Engineering Education Scott Greenhalgh has fallen in love with the concept of tiny homes. In the last two years, the UNI program has partnered with Joppa Villages with the goal of using tiny homes as a solution to homelessness.

Greenhalgh passed his interest along to students like Ryan Andersen.

“He was really passionate about tiny homes and got us all interested in them as well,” Andersen said. “The passion spread and here I am.”

Andersen helped build one of UNI’s first tiny homes, featured with two other UNI tiny house projects Saturday. Now an industrial technology teacher for the Southeast Polk Community School District, he leads high school students on tiny house builds in his industrial engineering class in hopes it will steer students toward a career in a skilled trade.

“That’s where we started,” Greenhalgh said. “What could you do as a high school teach-

er teaching construction which would get more students involved. “(Tiny houses) would be a bigger project that hit all the systems. A lot of schools will build a shed, but with a shed you don’t get a lot of the interior finishes, you don’t get the finished carpentry, the plumbing or electrical.”

For Debbie Stevens of Oskaloosa, her weekend at TinyFest came as something unexpected. Stevens has wanted a tiny home for nearly 10 years, but a recent fight with cancer has put some of her dreams on hold as she battled the illness.

While Stevens toured a split-level model Saturday built by Tiny Green Cabins of St. Paul, Minn., her daughter Ashley Schultz said she surprised her mom with tickets to TinyFest when they heard the news Friday Stevens is officially in remission. Now that her mother is on the road to health, Schultz says TinyFest might just turn into a shopping trip.

“I think she’s going to get one,” Schultz said.

Although official attendance was not available by presstime Monday, TinyFest director Renee McLaughlin said turnout was great.

“People are really enjoying this,” she said at the fairgrounds Saturday. “They’re loving getting to see the tiny houses, they’re streaming in the gates.”

But by far the most popular sight for the hundreds of visitors were the tiny home model exhibits. Builders from Chicago, St. Paul and across the Midwest brought examples of the amenities and features that come with tiny living.

Exhibitors from the University of Northern Iowa’s Mighty House Project put on display the possibility of social change that can come with a tiny home.

Marco Polo

Start the Press Abigail Pelzer

t’s 8 a.m. on a Thursday morning and the notification comes — dad is talking to you. I press play and there’s his adorable 74-year-old face, smiling at me and telling me he’s thinking about me, hopes I’ll have a great day and he loves me.

It’s almost impossible not to smile at a message like that, and it’s exactly the reason why I fell into yet another social media app trap. My dad started using Marco Polo, the “video walkie-talkie,” which is almost exactly what it sounds like — an app that allows you to exchange videos — a couple of months ago as a way to communicate with the guys in his morning faith group. Much like the

Marco Polo tag game you make and send a video and then it’s the recipient’s job to reply back.

One of the unforeseen products of adding the app has been establishing regular communication with my older brother who lives in California.

Fifteen years my senior and a vastly different lifestyle than my own, it hasn’t always been easy to connect with Jeb. Technology like iMessages and GIFs have helped, but Marco Polo has meant talking almost daily via video before his upcoming visit to Iowa.

While I’ve been able to share videos with him talking about Iowa foot-

ball, a mutual passion, and showing him Newton attractions like the Valle Drive-In and Fred Maytag Bowl, he’s shown me the San Joaquin Hills of Aliso Viejo and more often than not the inside of his car, where Californians live at least part-time.

Meanwhile, he’s shared stories of Iowa City West High School days and competing in the Cardinal Classic track meet where he always fell short of Newton’s great Trey Jackson. Other times he talks about stuff like his obsession with yoga and eating vegan.

While Jeb doesn’t seem to have any apprehension about staring into a screen and talking, it’s not my favorite. Sure, I can get down with a SnapChat video or a FaceTime with my kids, but these videos are reminiscent of the few short months I spent in a broadcast journalism class. I’m far more comfortable with the writ-

ten word.

We’ve discovered Jeb has a propensity to say “anyway” while I’m stuck in an “um” pattern common among anyone who hasn’t belonged to Toastmasters Club. Jeb, by the way, has belonged to a Toastmasters Club and suggested I start dinging a bell every time I fall into an um or ahh. Pass.

It’s been a lot of fun exchanging stories and laughs with Jeb, and when we see each other soon, it won’t seem like I’m catching up with someone who lives clear across the country.

One of the great things about social media is connecting in meaningful ways with people you care about.

I guess one more app doesn’t hurt when it means seeing your dad’s face in the morning and getting to know your big brother a little better.

Eye on America John Stossel

Detoured by government Michelle Freenor’s business almost failed before it began.

That would have been a loss, since her Savannah, Ga., walking tour gets only good reviews from customers.

“Top notch tour guide giving us a lot of history of Savannah’s Historic District,” said one five-star Yelp review.

“Great, informative,” said another.

But that didn’t matter to Savannah politicians. They said she had to get a government license if she wanted to charge people for tours. And getting the license was difficult.

She had to pay $100 and then “pass a college-level history exam with tons of obscure gotcha questions,” Freenor told us. Passing required “three to five months of studying because it was about 120 pages. I had to map out where I was standing, what I was saying.”

It’s one more example of abuse of licensing rules. Dick Carpenter, author of the book “Bottleneckers,” lists how these regulations strangle new businesses.

“She also had to do a criminal background check, which meant she had to give a urine sample and a blood sample.” Carpenter told me. “She also had to go through a physical fitness test.”

No matter, said the city, you must pass the test and you must pay the fee.

“The city was making a nice bit of money,” says Freenor.

A Stossel.com video producer went to Savannah to confront the licensing rules’ biggest promoter, Alderman Bill Durrence. “A lot of people think that this fee is just another money grab by the city,” he admitted, “but I hear a lot of tour guides saying things that make me cringe.”

So what? Some of the more popular Savannah tours are “ghost tours.” Those tour guides must take the test, too, although it includes no questions about ghosts. The city even had some wrong answers on its test. It claimed “Jingle Bells” was written in Savannah. Most people say it was written in Massachusetts.

The test also misidentified the city’s largest square.

Savannah’s politicians demanded aspiring tour guides pass a test that included rules about horse-and-buggy and tram tours, even if the guides only intended to walk.

Freenor took the exam and passed it on her first try.

But then she got sick; she has lupus.

“When I told them, hey, I don’t think I can pass the physical this year, I was actually told by a city official, well, I guess you’re going to have to find another occupation.”

Durrence admits, “There were a couple of points that maybe went a little too far in the licensing process, (like) having to have a physical exam periodically, maybe the cost of the test.”

Yes — politicians routinely go too far.

Fortunately, the Institute for Justice, the libertarian law firm where Carpenter works, helped Freenor sue Savannah, and the city backed down. Robert Johnson, one of Freenor’s lawyers, points out that such licensing laws violate the guides’ right to free speech. “What tour guides do is talk for a living. They’re just like stand-up comedians, journalists or novelists. In this country, you don’t need a license from government to be able to talk.”

An Institute for Justice lawsuit got rid of the Washington, D.C., tour guide test, too.

Will terrible guides start giving terrible tours because of that?

No, says Freenor. “The free market is taking care of itself. Bad tour companies don’t last.”

She’s right. Competition is the best way to decide which tour is good. In fact, a recent Institute for Justice study — using Trip Advisor review data — found that tour guide quality was no different after Washington’s test was eliminated.

Alderman Durrence doesn’t like the fact that the market, rather than government, determines consumer service: “Little by little we’ve managed to get control of some things, but we still don’t have control over a lot!”

Give me a break. Government control is everywhere and always growing.

Landmine eradication in Vietnam

By Kathleen Rogers and Heidi Kuhn American Forum In March 1975, the United States fled from a protracted war in Vietnam, a war that claimed more than 58,000 Americans, and close to two million Vietnamese soldiers and civilians. The US also left behind a behind a devastated landscape, riddled with millions of hard-tolocate landmines and unexploded ordnances; and a once fertile land now defoliated by millions of gallons of Agent Orange, a deadly herbicide that causes cancer, neurological damage and birth defects and not only killed the land but also killed and injured thousands of Vietnamese and American servicemen.

More than 42 years later, that legacy remains. It is estimated that more than 3 million landmines/ UXO/cluster munitions remain buried in Vietnam. Since 1975, more than 40,000 Vietnamese have died from these deadly remnants of war, and over 60,000 innocent victims have been injured. In the hospitals of Quang Tri province, part of the infamous DMZ, 80 percent of the land is still riddled with landmines and innocent children are dying each month.

Millions of Vietnamese still suffer its impacts of Agent Orange, too.Young-to-middle age adults

live with severe cognitive impairment and blindness. Worse, the impacts are progressive over a lifetime. The younger brothers and sisters of severely impaired siblings know what’s in store for them, disease leading to brain death and complete disability as they age.

Agent Orange also entered the food system, condemning some parts of the most fertile parts of Vietnam to decades of land contamination.

While the US and other countries have committed millions of dollars to remove landmines and reduce the impacts of Agent Orange, it is not enough. Total removal of landmines and remediation of Agent Orange will cost hundreds of millions of dollars. And that is just Vietnam.

Recently, Prince Harry committed to removing all land mines around the world by 2025 to honor of the legacy of his mother, Princess Diana of Wales, and the 20year anniversary of her death. It was Diana who first catapulted the issue of landmines to the forefront of the international agenda when she famously walked near an active landmine field in Angola.

Prince Harry’s commitment has provided a huge boast to the efforts of Roots of Peace, HALO, MAG and other land mine removal organizations faced with the daunting task of removing 70 million land

mines in 70 countries. It has also inspired a partnership between land mine organizations and Earth Day Network, the organization that grew out of the first Earth Day. The 60s and 70s, the generation that fought against the Vietnam War and for civil rights, also saw the beginning of the modern environmental movement. On Earth Day 1970, 20 million people—students, mothers, faith leaders, business people, thought leaders and even lawmakers—all came out to support the revolutionary idea that human health should not be a casualty of the industrial revolution.

Since then, the Earth Day movement has grown into a global effort to tackle issues of water, air, toxics, reforestation and of course to help solve the climate crises.

Earth Day’s legacy and that of Princess Diana are inspirations for a joint campaign to remove all landmines, eradicate Agent Orange and reforest areas in Quang Tri province by the 50th anniversary of Earth Day in 2020. Quang Tri, according to its governor is also interested in attracting solar and wind. Replacing the legacy of the Vietnam War while fulfilling the promises of Princess Diana and the first Earth Day is not only important, it has the potential for true global inspiration and transformation.

Son jumps into online dating by asking personal questions DEAR ABBY: My 40-year-old son signed up with an online dating site. He has a 17-year-old son and has never been married. During his initial contact with one woman, she mentioned she had several kids and my son asked if they were all by the same father. She said he was out of line to ask that question!

I realize people today think one’s sexual history shouldn’t matter, but doesn’t my son have a right to know how many other men he’s going to be involved with if he becomes involved with her? How does one find out this kind of information relatively soon into the relationship? Waiting until he knows her better seems like a waste of both parties’ time if he’s not interested in someone who brings several other families into the relationship.

Relationships are hard enough when a man brings his family and a woman brings her family together in the marriage. It’s harder when the man and woman have exes. Each ex increases the level of difficulty to make the relationship work. Love is a choice, and it would be painful for my son to give up a young lady he really cared for because he found out after a few dates that a future with her involved four or more baby daddies. — OUT OF LINE IN ARIZONA DEAR OUT OF LINE: Although it might be “painful” for your son to give someone up after a few dates, he should make the effort to get to know the person before asking a question like the one he posed to a complete stranger. Frankly, I don’t blame her for being offended, because it implied he thought she was promiscuous.

Your son fathered a child with a woman he didn’t end up marrying.

It happens. What if the same thing had happened to her, but more than

once? One would think that as a mature adult, if he had feelings for someone, he would continue the relationship and see where it led. And why are you the one who wrote to ask me this and not your son?

DEAR ABBY: We are all familiar with the rules of who pays for what in a wedding. Usually the bride’s family pays for certain portions of the wedding and reception, while the groom’s family pays for the rehearsal dinner, among other things.

But what are the rules for samesex marriages? My daughter and her girlfriend are getting married, and I’m confused about the financial etiquette. Is everything split evenly?

— MODERN DAD IN LOUISIANA DEAR MODERN DAD: According to Steven Petrow, the LGBT etiquette author, there are few set rules about gay weddings. Your only “requirement” is to provide them with your love and support.

Many couples today, both gay and straight, foot the bill themselves. You might offer a gift to help them pay for the flowers or rehearsal dinner.

However, like any responsible couple, your daughter and her intended should plan a wedding that is within their budget.

DES MOINES — A West Des Moines record store owner has been charged with invasion of privacy after police say he hid a camera in the business’ bathroom and recorded an underage girl. Police say 48-yearold Robert Kuhn, of Des Moines, was arrested Friday morning. In late August, a girl who had worked for Kuhn at Wayback Records told police that she found a camera hidden on a shelf in the bathroom after Kuhn had asked her to try on dresses because he wanted to post the clothes on social media.

3 City looks to decrease train noise downtown

SIOUX CITY — Officials of a city in western Iowa have agreed to spend more than $100,000 on a project to silence train horns that now frequently blare through downtown. Sioux City City Council voted on Sept. 18 to approve a contract with Twin Cities-based SRF Consulting Group Inc. to create a “quiet zone� at multiple BNSF Railway train crossings downtown. Quiet zones are areas which meet specific safety guidelines that allow trains to pass through a crossing without sounding their horns.

With no special session, what’s next for Iowa budget?

DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa lawmakers will not return to the state Capitol for a special session following news last week that a projected budget shortfall was drastically smaller than expected.

Still, Iowa’s finances remain on shaky ground in the midst of new borrowing and unknown costs.

Here are some things to keep in mind about Iowa’s budget: THE NUMBERS Iowa approved roughly $7.2 billion in state spending for the budget year that ended in June.

This summer, the nonpartisan Legislative Services Agency said incoming revenue for that budget year was lower than expected and about $100 million behind. The same agency cautioned the possible shortfall could fluctuate up or down.

Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds said the budget year would close its books officially at the end of September. On Wednesday, budget experts who work under her administration announced the shortfall was actually $14.6 million.

After final accounting, Reynolds will transfer, or borrow, $13 million from emergency reserves.

She has authority to transfer up to $50 million without legislative approval.

WHAT HAPPENED? Staff for the Iowa Department of Management and the Iowa Department of Revenue said last-minute adjustments, or accruals, are the primary reason the budget shortfall wasn’t larger. Simply put, a lot of revenue tied to the last budget year wasn’t accounted for until much later — to the tune of more than $70 million.

Accruals aren’t unusual, but it wasn’t expected to be that high.

The Legislative Services Agency, a nonpartisan agency that offers budget analysis to the Legislature, estimated in March that accruals for this period would total about $38 million. LSA officials later said while their estimate was low, it was

possible for the state to bounce back this way. The agency said data show a spike in tax revenue in the final months of accounting.

Some people, primarily Democrats, have expressed skepticism on how the math adds up.

WHAT’S NEXT Iowa has borrowed a lot of money from its reserve funds this year — about $144 million. Lawmakers plan to repay that money in the next two years. Republicans already budgeted returning about $20 million during the budget year that took effect in July. Now the $13 million announced last week will be added to that tally. It’s unclear how lawmakers will address that money, but it could mean additional cuts to state agencies.

In the budget year that begins next summer, Iowa will pay back the remaining balance it owes its reserves funds— about $111 million. Accomplishing that could also mean department cuts, but it’s too early to know.

Separately, Iowa health officials are still negotiating over how much more the state must pay three health care companies to run the newly privatized Medicaid program for poor and disabled people. A large amount could throw a wrench into the current budget.

WHY ARE WE IN THIS MESS? Iowa continues to experience revenue growth amid a relatively healthy economy, which includes a low unemployment rate. So what’s the deal? Revenue growth has been below projections for some time, and different groups blame a range of factors for the budget crunch.

Republicans point in part to a sluggish farm economy and missed tax revenue from some online sales, though data show that alone wouldn’t cause the state’s problems. Democrats say tax credits, particularly those given to large corporations, eat up an increasing chunk of the budget. Some GOP lawmakers, who hold majorities in

both chambers, have indicated an interest in revisiting these credits, though they also note Democrats helped pass many of them.

Also, a new sales tax exemption on manufacturing sales led to a larger-than-expected cut to the general fund.

Adding to the situation is that Iowa sometimes has tiny surpluses when a budget year wraps up.

Known as the ending balance, that money can be used to offset unexpected costs incurred on any given year. It’s separate from reserve funds and doesn’t need to be paid back.

Just a few years ago, Iowa’s ending balance was nearly $1 billion.

That’s now been depleted, meaning when shortfalls occur, the state must turn to options like agency cuts and reserve funds.

Democrats claim GOP lawmakers mishandled those funds.

Republicans say the money was used on needs like replenishing emergency funds and investing in infrastructure. They also point out Democrats agreed to that spending.

HOW PROBLEMATIC IS ALL OF THIS? In the past 12 months, state agencies overseeing a range of government services have experienced budget cuts. Some departments have already indicated plans to seek “status quo� budgets, which could make the cuts permanent.

The reductions are felt in different ways: Officials at Iowa’s three public universities plan to raise tuition; an agency is making fewer visits to monitor nursing homes; Iowa closed its forestry bureau.

Democrats, including those challenging Reynolds in next year’s gubernatorial race, say the reductions ultimately hurt education, health care, the judicial system, public safety and other services. Republicans argue the cuts are tough but also necessary to balance the budget. They accuse Democrats of seeking unsustainable funding.

Winnebago Tribe hoping to reclaim land in Iowa SLOAN (AP) — The Winnebago Tribe is hoping to reclaim land in Iowa that was once part of its reservation in northeast Nebraska, but local hunters are concerned they might lose access.

About 1,640 acres of land is owned by the federal government and attracts hundreds of hunters each year. Tribal officials say they would keep the land as hunting ground and habitat for wildlife. “We’re going to use it for the same purposes that it’s been used for, and that’s wildlife management,� tribal councilman Isaac Smith said. “These hunters that are worried about it, they don’t have anything to

A Newton woman is charged with assault following an incident with a juvenile.

Amanda M. Mowery, 31, faces two charges of assault causing bodily injury or mental illness after officers were called at 1:50 p.m. Sept. 10 to a residence in the 1400 block of North 11th Avenue East.

Mowery is accused of hitting the juvenile several times in the face because the juvenile had reprimanded other children at the apartment complex. Mowery allegedly had to be

pulled off the juvenile by the juvenile’s boyfriend in an incident that occurred near the juvenile’s residence.

The male also received injuries including a scratch on his neck and a visible injury to his elbow and also told officers Mowery punched him in the face.

60 Years of Praise

Photos by Mike Mendenhall/Daily News Kaden Brady, 6, of Kellogg high-fives 8-year-old Nicolas McBride of Newton during Saturday’s 60th anniversary carnival at the Newton Christian School. The K-8 school, at 1710 N. 11th Ave E., threw a carnival to commemorate its 60th birthday in Newton.

Dozens of families, current students and alumni came to the backyard carnival filled with games, a bounce house and snow cones for the 90-plus degree day.

JCARL Continued from Page 1A Houston nonprofit Day of the Dogs. The Texas organization coordinates and selects the animals for JCARL based on temperament, personality and what kennel space is available.

In the last two months, JCARL has received 16 dogs from hurricane effected areas of the United States. Sunday’s event was to promote JCARL’s services, and raise awareness that JCARL is currently at capacity.

Long said the shelter would be interested in doing more adoption and microchipping events if they had more venues willing to house pets.

“We do events as often as we can get people who are interested in hosting us,” she said. “That’s generally the biggest challenge, is getting spaces who want to host, that can have animals

in their building so we can bring them along.”

One of the biggest issues with refugee animals from Houston and Florida, Long explained, is heart worm infection. Currently two Hurricane Harvey dogs have been placed in foster care to separate them from the rest of the JCARL population while they go through heart worm treatment.

“Down south it’s becoming more of a problem because (heart worms) are transmitted by mosquitoes,” she said. “All it takes is a mosquito that’s been infected to bite your dog. If they’re not current on prevention, they’re at risk, especially in an area that has mosquitoes. You go further south, they get worse and worse.”

CJ’s owner Carolyn Daniels said she hosted the event simply because she “has a thing for animals.”

She tried to organize a similar drive around the holi-

L U N C H

&

days last year, but a snow and ice storm kept the animals from traveling to Monroe.

“I wanted to clear out the shelter for Christmas but it fell through,” she said.

But with the news of dogs fleeing the hurricanes and a puppy mill which was recently cleared out south of Jasper County, Daniels wanted to try again.

PCM High School students were invited to the event to volunteer for their graduation community service hours and all proceeds from a hot dog lunch were donated to JCARL. For questions regarding any pet adoption, contact JCARL via email at jcarl@ iowatelecom.net or call 641-792-5407.

JCARL dog adoptions are $150 for large breed and $200 for small breed.

This cost includes spay or neuter of the dog, flea treatment and microchipping.

Big plays drive Cardinals past Bobcats

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News MARSHALLTOWN — Big plays were major components of Friday’s Class 4A District 4 opening football game between Newton High’s Cardinals and Marshalltown’s Bob-

cats. The Cardinals had more big scoring plays in a 49-28 road victory over the Bobcats.

Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright was happy with the victory. There were good things and not so good things he saw from his Cardinals throughout the contest, he said.

Ergenbright’s biggest concern is the health of his players. Junior running back Josh Miller was the latest player to go out of a game injured.

Miller joins two other offensive starters on the sideline — senior running back Carson Cazett and senior split end

Trevor Ergenbright.

“It was a solid win, but we have to be better on both sides of the ball,” Ergenbright said. “Most important is for this team to get guys healthy.

We’re getting thin in our skills players on offense. We had another running back go out

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Taking it to the house is Newton High senior running back Jaron Roush on a 68-yard touchdown run in the second quarter of Friday night’s Class 4A District 4 contest at Marshalltown. Roush had a 93-yard kickoff return for a TD in the first quarter and a 21-yard TD reception for the Cardinals in the second quarter. Roush finished with 314 all-purpose yards in Newton’s 49-28 win over the Bobcats to go 5-0.

NFL shows solidarity over Trump statements on player protests

By Dave Campbell The Associated Press The owners of the Baltimore Ravens, the Super Bowl champion New England Patriots and other teams on Sunday joined a chorus of NFL executives criticizing President Donald Trump’s suggestion that they fire players who kneel for the national anthem.

The statements, including those from Patriots owner Robert Kraft and Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, contrasted a morning tweet from Trump

and further escalated the political drama of the league’s game day, which was expected to be one of the most-watched

for non-sporting reasons in years.

Bisciotti said he “100 percent” supports his players’ decision to kneel during the national anthem. At least seven of them did, joined by more than a dozen Jacksonville Jaguars, before the teams played at Wembley Stadium in London.

Other players linked arms — and Jaguars owner Shad Khan joined them, standing between tight end Marcedes NFL | 3B

with an injury tonight. We have to get healthy.”

Defensively, the Cardinals made changes in personnel during the week because of injuries. Senior inside linebacker Joe Busch has been out since the season opener.

Newton has had two defensive ends — junior Mason Lee and sophomore Quintrail Coley, who broke his foot in practice — go out of commission.

In Friday’s district opener, Newton committed three turnovers. Two fumbles led to Marshalltown touchdowns and the other stopped a Cardinal drive in the third quarter.

Newton’s defense held the Bobcats on the opening possession and forced a punt. The Cardinals had the football at their own 15-yard line. Senior quarterback Garrett Sturtz lost the handle on the ball after a 10-yard gain.

Marshalltown’s Noah DeVenney recovered the football at Newton’s 25-yard line with 10:19 left in the first quarter.

Two plays later, Bobcat quarterback Sam Irwin found Dylan Eygabroad for a 21yard TD pass. Ryan Huffman kicked the extra point to give the Bobcats a 7-0 lead.

The Cardinals snatched the momentum right back. In a bit of a deja vu moment from last year’s meeting in Newton, when the Bobcats used a long pass interception return to take a 7-0 lead.

On the ensuing kickoff, senior running back Jaron Roush scored the first of three CARDINALS | 8B

Newton cross country Saturday results delayed

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High’s cross country teams competed in the 2017 Roy Griak Invitational meet on Saturday in St. Paul, Minn. The meet featured teams from eight states.

Unfortunately, there were technical problems with the timing system used in the meet hosted by the University of Minnesota, Newton girls’ head coach Rachelle Tipton said. Results posted following the races were not official.

Sarah Hopkins, UM

head cross country coach and Griak Invitational high school race director, responded to a Newton Daily News email Sunday afternoon. Hopkins said they were working from their back-up cameras to determine the correct and official results.

A story on the Cardinal runners’ results and experience at the meet will be in Tuesday’s Newton Daily News.

Tigerhawks get back on track against Thunder

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Senior quarterback Reegan Van Dyke and junior wideout Zarek Hill have a relationship on the football field that goes beyond even word of mouth.

Hill can just look at his quarterback a certain way, and Van Dyke knows exactly what he’s thinking.

That was on display Friday night against Grand View Christian.

On a play that was designed to be a wide receiver screen to sophomore Trinity Schroeder, Hill had a favorable matchup on the outside and Van Dyke saw it in Hill’s eyes.

Hill got a great jump off the line, beat his defender to the outside and hauled in a pass

from Van Dyke that he took 34 yards to paydirt.

It was just one of several big plays the duo made for the Tigerhawks during a 42-7 victory over the Thunder during Class A District 5 play on homecoming night.

“I just saw how he was playing me. He had the inside on me, but I thought if I broke outside right off the line I could get by him, and I did,” Hill said.

‘I didn’t say anything to (Reegan). We just have a connection. He just knew.”

Hill scored three touchdowns on the night. He hauled in five passes for 154 yards. Van Dyke, the homecoming king, finished 11-of-19 for 275 passing yards and three scores. He also threw two interceptions.

Keenum has three TDs, 369 yards as Vikings top Bucs MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Case Keenum found a rhythm on the first drive, and the Minnesota Vikings were off and running.

The backup quarterback was much more than a fill-in this time.

Keenum passed for three touchdowns and a career-high 369 yards without a turnover in relief of Sam Bradford, steering the Vikings to a 34-17 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

“I accept my role on this team,” Keenum said. “I know I want to be ready whenever my name is called, so that’s why I prepare.”

Stefon Diggs had 173 yards receiving and caught two of Keenum’s throws for scores, one short and one long .

Dalvin Cook produced 169 total yards plus his first NFL touchdown , which capped a 75-yard march by the Vikings (2-1) to start the game.

They built a 28-3 lead by early in the third quarter and compiled 494 yards, up from 237 yards in the 26-9 loss at Pittsburgh the week before.

DeSean Jackson and Cameron Brate each had a touchdown reception while Winston completed 28-of-40 passes for 328 yards, but the Buccaneers (1-1) simply couldn’t overcome having to play from behind all afternoon. They converted only 1-of-6 third downs.

Baxter makes statement, routs No. 5 Lone Tree

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

LONE TREE — Making a huge statement, the Baxter football team continued to roll offensively and took a big step forward defensively during a 62-36 win over Class 8-man No. 5 Lone Tree on Friday night.

Senior Braydon Aker threw for 354 yards and four touchdowns and senior Travis Lindemoen hauled in nine passes for 208 yards and three scores as the Bolts led 46-6 at halftime against a team which came in allowing a little more than 12 points per game.

The Bolts, who have won three straight games, scored at least 62 points for the third time this season.

“We are hitting a lot of rhythm offensively,” Baxter coach Rob Luther said. “We have a lot of different weapons.

We’re learning the game and taking what the defense gives us.”

Aker added 66 rushing yards and two scores in the win. Aker’s other TD pass went to senior Devin Carson, who also rushed for 104 yards on nine carries. He scored twice on the

Clapper

Carson

ground, too.

Carson hauled in three passes for 64 yards, and sophomore Cole Damman tallied four catches for 71 yards.

Junior all-state linemen Will Clapper returned from a knee injury and senior linemen Bryce Bacon played in his first game since suffering broken collarbone in the preseason.

That allowed the Bolts to be more balanced offensively.

“It was nice to get Clapper and Bacon back at guard, and Jusson Roush played an incredible game at center, too,” Luther said. “It was a good statement win for us.”

The Bolts (4-1) forced three Lone Tree turnovers and only punted once on offense. Baxter’s defense held Lone Tree to six points at halftime.

Aker

The Bolts defense was led by Roush, who finished with 7 1/2 tackles and a sack. Damman added seven tackles and Lindemoen, Mitchell and senior Brady Geilenfeldt all had five

tackles.

Aker chipped in 4 1/2 tackles and a sack and Bacon collected four tackles, two sacks and a fumble recovery.

Lone Tree (5-1) came into the game averaging 47 points per game.

The Lions returned the opening kickoff of the second half back for a TD and it scored its final touchdown on Baxter’s second unit. They rushed for 228 yards but it took 46 carries.

“We took a step forward defensively,” Luther said. “That’s a good offensive team that we held to six points at halftime.

We were hitting on all cylinders on both sides of the ball.”

PCM continues district dominance

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — The Prairie City-Monroe football team won their 11th straight district game with another rout in Class 2A District 6 play on Senior Night on Friday.

Junior Reed Worth threw for 190 yards and four touchdowns and rushed for 99 yards and a score as PCM improved to 3-0 in district play following a 55-6 triumph over Central Lee. The 2A No. 8 Mustangs led 49-0 at halftime.

Junior Preston Van Wyk hauled in three catches from Worth, and all three went for TDs. He started the scoring with a 5-yard touchdown catch in the first quarter. Van Wyk hauled in a 28-yard TD to start the second-quarter scoring. His final TD covered 62 yards with 1:14 to go until halftime.

Worth made it 14-0 in the first quarter when he scampered 81 yards for the TD. Senior Noah Anderson scored a

3-yard touchdown to put PCM up 21-0 after one quarter.

After Van Wyk’s TD catch opened the second quarter, Worth hit junior Brayton Van Dyke from 14 yards out. Junior Jarron Trausch put the Mustangs (4-1, 3-0) up 42-0 with a 3-yard touchdown run.

Neither team scored in the third quarter. Central Lee’s lone TD came early in the fourth, but PCM added one final score with 5:52 to play when junior Olin Meinders got loose for a 32-yard touchdown run.

Van Dyke finished with 77 yards on three catches and Meinders tallied 54 rushing

yards on three carries.

The Mustangs, who have won four straight games, threw for 203 yards and rushed for 237 yards.

Ponder PCM’s defense held Central Lee (3-2, 2-1) to 13 passing yards. The visitors did rush for 162 yards in the loss. Jared Brisby rushed for 62 yards and the lone score on 14 carries. He also had nine tackles to lead the Central Lee defense.

Senior Jacob Ponder and junior Nick Buswell both had four tackles to lead the Mustang defense. Junior Nick Dredge had 3 1/2 tackles and two interceptions, and Trausch and sophomore Seth Greiner each had 3 1/2 tackles.

Anderson’s three TDs lead No. 16 TCU past No. 6 Oklahoma State STILLWATER, Okla. (AP) — TCU felt ignored heading into its matchup with high-powered Oklahoma State.

The Horned Frogs can’t be overlooked anymore. Darius Anderson ran for a career-high 160 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 16 TCU upset the sixth-ranked Cowboys 4431 on Saturday to stamp the Horned Frogs as a Big 12 contender.

“People can say what they want to say, but we know what we are, and we try to be the best team every day,” TCU defensive end Ben Banogu said. “But you don’t just get there after one big win, it’s throughout the season. If we can keep the ball rolling and keeping doing what we do, then we’ll find ourselves in that conversation.”

Kenny Hill passed for 228 yards for the Horned Frogs (40, 1-0 Big 12), who ran 52 times for 238 yards.

“We want to be relevant, you want to win enough to get noticed,” TCU coach Gary Patterson said. “It also was an advantage that no one was giving us a chance.”

TCU gave Oklahoma State’s Mason Rudolph time to throw, but he often couldn’t find

enough open receivers and settled for short passes or threw the ball away.

Rudolph completed 22-of41 passes for 398 yards and two touchdowns, but he threw two interceptions.

James Washington caught six passes for 153 yards and a touchdown and Marcell Ateman caught six passes for 100 yards for the Cowboys (3-1, 0-1).

TCU focused on taking away the deep ball. The Horned Frogs got burned once, on an 86-yard touchdown catch by Washington. But most of the rest of their passes were underneath, and many required precise throws

by Rudolph.

The Horned Frogs led 3717 in the fourth quarter before the Cowboys rallied and cut the deficit to six points.

Anderson’s 42-yard touchdown run with 2:37 remaining closed the deal.

Oklahoma State committed four turnovers to one for TCU. “We didn’t play very smart and very disciplined, and really, we got outcoached,” Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy said.

“I thought that they had better plans, and their players executed their plans better than we did.”

Takeaways TCU: The Horned Frogs controlled the clock against Oklahoma State’s previously stingy defense for much of the game.

TCU ran 85 plays and kept the ball for just over 39 minutes.

Oklahoma State: The Cowboys, who had been averaging nearly 200 yards rushing per game, were held to 101 yards on 31 carries. Rudolph, who had emerged as one of the favorites in the Heisman race, took a step back with the loss.

Poll Implications TCU: Winning against a Top 6 team is rare, especially on the road. Add TCU’s reputation and unbeaten record, and the Horned Frogs should get a significant boost, possibly into the Top 10.

Oklahoma State: The Cowboys likely will fall out of the top 10. Though TCU is a good team, Oklahoma State doesn’t have a quality nonconference win to soften the blow.

“We’re ready to win again,” Oklahoma State safety Ramon Richards said. “We’re ready to win. That’s our mindset, regardless of any game, whether we win or not. We always come prepared and ready to win.”

Packers rally, defeat Bengals in overtime GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Aaron Rodgers burned another defense deep with a free play.

The Cincinnati Bengals found their offense and a new way to lose.

Mason Crosby kicked a 27-yard field goal with 6:26 left in overtime set up by Rodgers’ 72-yard pass to Geronimo Allison, and the Green Bay Packers rallied to beat Cincinnati 27-24 on Sunday.

Crosby’s kick completed the Packers’ comeback from a 21-7 halftime deficit.

On third-and-10 from his 21, Rodgers took advantage of yet another free play after defensive end Michael Johnson was whistled for offside. Officials let the play continue and the two-time NFL MVP found Allison on about a 40-yard pass before the receiver beat a couple defenders for more yards.

Crosby, a veteran kicker, finished it off for the Packers (2-1).

Hawks stay unbeaten with big win over Wolves

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News WINFIELD — The last time Lynnville-Sully played on the Winfield-Mount Union football field the two teams went down to the wire in a Class A playoff game with the Hawks pulling out a 29-28 win on the road via a last-second field goal.

For the past two seasons, the Hawks and the Wolves have been in the same district and the games have been lopsided in the Hawks’ favor.

On Friday, the 10th-ranked Hawks blasted their hosts, 480, in Class A District 6 play.

The Hawks improved to 5-0 overall and more importantly to 3-0 in district action. With the victory, the Hawks set up a district showdown of undefeated teams.

“Our guys played really well, especially on defense.

We had two defensive touchdowns,” Hawk head coach Mike Parkinson said. “Our varsity guys responded with a strong showing in the first half, and we were able to get our junior varsity guys playing time in the second half.”

Seventh-ranked Pekin defeated Cardinal, 56-6, Friday to go to 3-0 in district play and 6-0 overall. Lynnville-Sully hosts Pekin at 7 p.m. this Friday in Sully.

“We’re excited about Friday’s game with Pekin. They are a good football team with decent athletes. We’re ready to play a big game. It’s homecoming for us so it’s even bigger,” Parkinson said. “It’s going to be a great game to be a part of and watch. Anyone whose a

fan of football will want to be here for the game.”

Lynnville-Sully dominated Winfield-Mount Union to lead 48-0 by the 4:49 mark of the second quarter. The rest of the game was played under a running clock.

Lynnville-Sully opened the scoring on a defensive play as Jesse Van Wyk snatched a Winfield-Mount Union pass out of the air and returned it 69 yards for the TD. Evan Squires punched over the goal line for a two-point conversion.

Squires was back in the end zone 40 seconds later on a 4-yard run. Tyson Vander Linden caught a pass from Elijah Collins that covered 51 yards for the Hawks’ third score of the night. With 28 seconds left in the first quarter, Gage Vander Leest dashed 46 yards for a score.

“Elijah threw an interception right off the bat, but then got things squared away throwing it well. Offensively, we had our running game going and spread the ball around to all of our guys,” Parkinson said. “We had short fields to work with and took advantage of it.”

Collins connected with Drake Ehresman on a 15-yard TD pass play in the second period. Squires had a 14-yard TD run then Vander Leest returned an interception 43 yards for the final TD of the night.

Brevin Hansen kicked six extra points for the Hawks and caught two passes for five yards. Hansen led the defensive charge with four tackles.

les and a quarterback sack.

The Hawk defense held the Wolves to 76 yards of total offense. Lynnville-Sully only needed 232 yards of offensive production to overpower the Wolves. The Hawks had 154 yards on the ground and 78 yards through the air.

“Our guys flew to the football on defense. We just played so well throughout the game,”

Parkinson said.

Collins was 3-for-4 for 71 yards, two touchdown passes and one interception. Kinnick McFarland was 1-of-4 passing for seven yards to Kodie Waggoner.

Vander Leest ran for 57 yards on three carries and Squires had 18 yards on two carries. Nate Stock had three carries for 10 yards and Col-

lins had one rush for 19 yards.

Sage Zylstra carried the ball once for 11 yards and Tyson Vander Linden had one carry for 10 yards.

McFarland had 18 yards on four carries. Ethan Wyma gained 20 yards on five carries.

Thomas wins FedEx Cup title ATLANTA (AP) — Justin Thomas is the FedEx Cup champion, a surprise to no one who saw him power his way to scoring records, his first major at the PGA Championship and more PGA Tour victories than anyone this season.

Standing next to him at the trophy ceremony was Xander Schauffele, who never imagined being at the Tour Championship, much less winning it.

Both put on quite a show Sunday at East Lake.

Schauffele, a 23-year-old rookie from San Diego who was worried about keeping his card just over three months ago, capped off an amazing summer with four par saves on the back nine when he couldn’t afford to drop a shot.

He closed out his 2-under 68 by swirling in a 3-foot birdie putt for a one-shot victory over Thomas.

“My hands were shaking so much,” Schauffele said. “I’m still kind of in shock.”

Thomas did his part, even with a runner-up finish.

Thomas won the $10 million bonus.

AP Photo Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank joins arms with his players during the national anthem prior to the game against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field in Detroit on Sunday.

NFL Continued from Page 1B Lewis and linebacker Telvin Smith.

He called it a privilege to do so.

Kraft, who has been a strong backer of the president, expressed “deep disappointment” with Trump and said politicians could learn much from the unifying spirit of a competitive, team-oriented enterprise like football.

“Our players are intelligent, thoughtful, and care deeply about our community and I support their right to peacefully affect social change and raise awareness in a manner that they feel is most impactful,” Kraft said in a statement.

Cleveland Browns owners Jimmy and Dee Haslam wrote that they didn’t want to let “misguided, uninformed and divisive comments from the President or anyone else deter us from our efforts to unify,” and Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin told CBS his team wouldn’t be on the field when the anthem plays before the Steelers game in Chicago. He doesn’t want his players to be divided between those who kneel and those who stand, he said.

“We’re not going to be divided by anything said by anyone,” Tomlin said. “We’re not going to let divisive times or divisive individuals affect our agenda.”

Haslam’s brother, Bill, is the Republican governor of Tennessee.

Quarterback Colin Kaepernick started the kneeling movement last year when he played for the San Francisco 49ers, refusing to stand during “The Star-Spangled Banner” to protest the treatment of black peo-

ple by police. Kaepernick became a free agent and has not been signed by a new team for this season.

Without identifying Kaepernick, Trump aimed a Friday talk at a Huntsville, Alabama, rally at those players who have knelt for the anthem.

“Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, you’d say, ‘Get that son of a bitch off the field right now. Out! He’s fired,’” he said to loud applause.

Again in a Sunday morning tweet, Trump urged his supporters to take action: “If NFL fans refuse to go to games until players stop disrespecting our Flag & Country, you will see change take place fast. Fire or suspend!”

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin followed up Sunday on ABC’s “This Week” defending Trump, saying the NFL has many rules governing what players can and cannot do.

“I think what the president is saying is that the owners should have a rule that players should have to stand in respect for the national anthem,” Mnuchin said. “They can do free speech on their own time.”

Trump’s remarks provoked team owners and the NFL to stridently defend the sport and its players. Commissioner Roger Goodell, who has taken heat for Kaepernick’s struggle to find a team, quickly condemned Trump’s comments.

“The NFL and our players are at our best when we help create a sense of unity in our country and our culture. There is no better example than the amazing response from our clubs and players to the terrible natural disasters we’ve experienced over the last month,” Goodell said.

“Divisive comments like these demonstrate an unfortunate lack of respect for the NFL, our great game and all of our players, and a failure to understand the overwhelming force for good our clubs and players represent in our communities.”

At least seven team owners donated $1 million each to Trump’s inaugural committee. But Los Angeles Chargers owner Dean Spanos, Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank, New York Giants owners John Mara and Steve Tisch, Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross, Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay, Tennessee Titans’ controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk, Detroit Lions owner Martha Firestone Ford and San Francisco 49ers owner Jed York were among the league power brokers who issued condemning statements through their clubs.

“The callous and offensive comments made by the president are contradictory to what this great country stands for,” York said. “Our players have exercised their rights as United States citizens in order to spark conversation and action to address social injustice. We will continue to support them in their peaceful pursuit of positive change in our country and around the world.”

Added Green Bay Packers President and CEO Mark Murphy: “We believe it is important to support any of our players who choose to peacefully express themselves with the hope of change for good. As Americans, we are fortunate to be able to speak openly and freely.”

This weekend’s games were sure to bring more protests, with Tampa Bay receiver DeSean Jackson promising to make “a statement.”

No. 4 Penn State beats Iowa on final play IOWA CITY (AP) — It was happening like it had so often in the past.

A once-sluggish Iowa team had come to life in the fourth quarter at home under the lights, and another top-five opponent was set to go down.

Trace McSorley, Juwan Johnson and the resilient Nittany Lions flipped the script, scoring on the game’s final play to survive a wild Big Ten opener.

Johnson caught a seven-yard TD pass as time expired and fourth-ranked Penn State rallied to stun Iowa 2119 Saturday night.

Saquon Barkley had 211 yards rushing and 94 yards receiving for the Nittany Lions (4-0, 1-0), who outgained Iowa 579-273 but nearly blew a game that could’ve been crippling to their postseason hopes.

“Felt like with (Johnson) we had a height advantage and we could slip him through the middle of the field,” Penn State coach James Franklin said of the winning play.

Akrum Wadley had a 70yard TD reception midway through the fourth quarter and a 35-yard touchdown run with 1:42 left to put the Hawkeyes (3-1, 0-1) ahead 19-15.

Penn State went 80 yards on 12 plays and just 1:42 to close out the game, and McSorley found Johnson in a crowded end zone on fourth down.

McSorley finished with 284 yards passing on 48 tries.

Wadley had 80 yards rushing and 75 yards receiving and Nate Stanley threw for 191 yards and two TDs for Iowa.

“It’s a tough loss for all of

Nittany Lions simply made one more play than they did.

“This game sucks. But you’ve got to move on,” said Jewell, who finished with 16 tackles.

Poll Implications Third-ranked Oklahoma struggled with a winless Baylor on the road, and Iowa is clearly better than the Bears.

But it’s unclear if Penn State did enough to leapfrog the Sooners — who have a win over Ohio State to their credit.

Saquon’s Brilliance Penn State faced a 3rddown-and-6 up just 15-13 midway through the fourth quarter.

McSorley threw a swing pass to Barkley, who was pinned to the sideline. But Barkley charged up the field, leapt over a Hawkeyes defender and got the first down — keeping alive a drive that burned the clock.

“The big difference in the game was that running back.

He’s a phenomenal player,” Ferentz said. Barkley also caught 12 passes.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Penn State junior Saquon Barkley (26) rushed for 211 yards and added another 94 yards receiving for the fourth-ranked Nittany Lions, who scored on the final play to defeat Iowa, 21-19, at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday.

us,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. “You can see first-hand why they were the Big Ten champs last year.”

The Takeaway Penn State: Michigan came into Iowa City in a similar spot a year ago and lost 14-13,

so the Nittany Lions should be happy they avoided a loss that would’ve erased their margin of error for the playoffs.

Barkley was unstoppable and Penn State’s defense was brilliant. But the Nittany Lions didn’t do a ton in the passing game until the final drive

— when McSorley’s final pass was right on the money.

Iowa: The Hawkeyes’ defense, led by preseason All-American linebacker Josey Jewell, played its heart out.

Wadley then put Iowa in position to make a major statement nationally, but the

The Numbers Penn State ran 99 plays.

Iowa had just 45. ... Stanley has thrown for 12 touchdowns against just one interception in his first four starts. ... Johnson finished with 92 yards on seven catches. ... Penn State gained 29 first downs, while Iowa had just 11.

He Said It “I cannot imagine there is a better player in all of college football. The guy is special,” Franklin said of Barkley.

Tigerhawks Continued from Page 1B “Zarek looked at me, and we saw who was covering him,” Van Dyke said.

“No offense to that kid, but we thought we had a good matchup out there. They shifted the safety over to the other side of the field. I just thought we needed to get an athlete in space. I am glad (Zarek) made the play.”

It was a much needed win for the Tigerhawks, who are now 2-4 overall and 1-2 in district play. Grand View Christian falls to 0-5.

The Tigerhawks led 20-0 after one quarter and held a 27-0 lead at halftime.

“With that win, it’s going to give us some confidence and momentum to win the rest of our games,” senior linemen Colten Lourens said. “I think we have a good chance to come out with several wins in a row.”

Van Dyke and Hill opened the scoring with a 20-yard touchdown hook up. Grand View Christian fumbled away the ensuing kickoff, and the Tigerhawks needed only two plays to score again.

Hill hauled in a 59-yard pass from Van Dyke but was tackled at the 1-yard line. Junior Damir Gumerov finished off the two-play drive with a 1-yard TD plunge.

Hill has battled injuries and sickness in recent weeks. He was happy to finally help his team win Friday night.

“I am just trying to get us in good situations,” Hill said.

“That time I got tackled at the 1-yard line, I didn’t care because we scored anyway.”

Grand View Christian turned the ball over six times, losing four fumbles. Hill had two interceptions, a fumble recovery and a forced fumble on defense.

After the Thunder punted, the two teams traded turnovers.

Colfax-Mingo got the ball back after a fumble recovery by senior Chance Rice, and the Tigerhawks drove 73 yards in eight plays.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo junior Zarek Hill, center, knocks the ball out of the hands of Grand View Christian’s Clay Ramseyer, right, and it falls into the lap of C-M sophomore Trystin Ross (30). The Tigerhawks forced six turnovers on the night and won the game 42-7. Hill had two interceptions, one fumble forced and one fumble recovery on defense.

The biggest plays were a 34yard pass play to sophomore Trystin Ross, a 16-yard run

by Van Dyke and an 18-yard catch by senior Alex Lewis.

Van Dyke finished the drive with a 9-yard TD run, and he gained 73 yards on nine carries on the night.

“This was a big one for us to get some momentum and to get us over the hump and show the boys that what we are doing and all hard work is paying off,” Colfax-Mingo coach Jeff Lietz said.

The Thunder again lost the ball on a fumble on the first play of their next drive. The Tigerhawks needed only two plays to go 73 yards.

Van Dyke started the drive with a 39-yard run and then the 34-yard touchdown pass to HIll made it 27-0.

“Zarek is amazing from my point of view. He’s 5-foot-7, 155 pounds,” Van Dyke said.

“He just plays his heart out, and I love him to death. When he makes plays, it makes my

life easier.”

The score remained 27-0 at halftime. After each team threw an interception to begin the second half, the Tigerhawks extended their lead with a blocked punt.

Ross got to the punter to make the block, and Gumerov scooped it up and rumbled 28 yards for the touchdown.

The Thunder’s only TD of the game came on their next possession.

The visitors marched 76 yards in seven plays. Peyton Leever got the Thunder into scoring possession with a 62yard run. Clay Ramseyer finished it off with a 4-yard TD run.

Grand View Christian rushed for 240 yards in the loss. Leever gained 108 of that on three big runs. The Thunder had only three runs of more than 10 yards though.

“They double teamed the middle a lot. They ran it right behind the center,” Lourens said. “We played better, but

there is always room for improvement. We still need to work on it.”

Lietz said his team focused on inside runs. Most of the Thunder’s success came outside on option plays with Ramseyer and Leever.

“We needed to concentrate on stopping the inside run,” Lietz said. “We focused on that, and I was happy with the way our defensive line attacked the line of scrimmage and the linebackers played well.

“They had that one long drive on us, but we forced a ton of punts and a ton of turnovers.”

The final touchdown of the game was hauled in by Hill from 27 yards out. He was well covered, but a well-placed ball was nabbed by the sure-handed Hill.

“He was under the weather this week. He had some nerves today,” Lietz said of Hill. “He played the way he can play. If we get that out of him, we’ll be

a pretty good football team.”

Lewis, who came into the game as the Tigerhawks’ leading receiver, finished with 44 yards on two catches.

The defense was led by senior Jake Dunsbergen, who tallied 14 tackles in the win.

Lewis, Lourens and freshman Andres Villegas all had 5 1/2 tackles.

Hill, Lewis, Rice and Ross all had fumble recoveries.

Kyle Busch gets NASCAR playoff win in New Hampshire

NASCAR Photo Kyle Busch, driver of the No. 18 M&M’s Caramel Toyota, celebrates in Victory Lane after winning Sunday’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series ISM Connect 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway in Loudon, NH.

LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — Kyle Busch saw little but billowing white smoke that engulfed the track and blinded enough drivers that it caused a tremendous wreck that sunk his toughest competition.

In his No. 18 Toyota, the driver nicknamed “Rowdy” knew there was only one way to handle the sudden pollution: Drive through it!

Busch slinked through the smoke clouds formed in the multi-car crash on the backstretch and dominated the rest of the way to win Sunday’s Monster Energy Cup Series race at New Hampshire Motorspeedway.

“That was pretty intense,” Busch said. “That was some ‘Days of Thunder’ stuff over there. You couldn’t see anything.”

He held on and saw a victory lane celebration for the third time this season. Busch earned a berth in the second round of NASCAR’s playoffs and took his customary bow on the track. He even stuck a bag of M&M’s on the claws of Loudon the Lobster , the 18-pound crustacean given to the race winner.

Busch, who won from the

pole, put together a complete effort once the wreck derailed race leader and fellow Toyota driver Martin Truex Jr. Truex, who won the playoff opener at Chicagoland, and Busch both earned automatic spots in the second round. Kyle Larson and Brad Keselowski advanced on points.

Truex led 112 laps until his run ended in the accident, though he rallied to finish fifth.

The playoff standings were shaken up in the wake of the massive multi-car wreck that sent playoff drivers Kurt Busch and Kevin Harvick to the garage. Harvick’s car was hit

by Austin Dillon on the last lap of the second stage. Harvick spun and smoke billowed over the track, leaving drivers almost blinded to the traffic ahead. Busch, Harvick’s teammate at Stewart-Haas Racing, slammed into Harvick. Truex backed up to straighten himself out and instead suffered left-rear damage when he smacked another car.

Kurt Busch, the Daytona 500 champion, will likely have to win next week at Dover to advance to the second round.

“It’s all-in. We’ll go there with everything we’ve got like we have been,” he said.

Harvick, the 2014 series champion, had accumulated enough playoff points that one DNF shouldn’t cost him a spot in the top 12.

Playoff drivers filled the top five spots: Larson was second, followed by Matt Kenseth, Keselowski and Truex.

Kyle Busch, who had his shot at victory at Chicagoland end because of pit road miscues, survived the wreckage to lead 187 laps and showed that Joe Gibbs Racing will be a player in the postseason. He found the opening between the wall and Harvick and won his 41st Cup race.

Maybe next time, Busch will have a clear path to the checkered flag.

“That was a close call,” Busch said. “The cloud of smoke was so large that you literally couldn’t see anything.”

Larson and Brad Keselowski also advanced on points to the second round. Austin Dillon, Ryan Newman, Kurt Busch and Kasey Kahne are the bottom four drivers in the playoff standings.

The first cutoff race is held at Dover. Truex won this race last season. Johnson’s win in the spring race this year was his 11th at the track.

Reddick gets first career win in Xfinity playoff opener SPARTA, Ky. (AP) — Tyler Reddick crashed the opener of the NASCAR Xfinity Series playoffs on Saturday at Kentucky Speedway by running away with his first career victory.

The 21-year-old led 66 laps, including the final 39, and beat Chip Ganassi Racing teammate Brennan Poole to the finish line by 14.540 seconds. The margin of victory was the largest in the 23 times the series has raced on the 1.5-mile track since 2001.

“It was definitely one of those nights,” said Reddick, who is running a partial schedule this season. “The car was great.”

Reddick had not led a lap in his previous 14 races in the series this season but passed Ryan Preece for the lead on lap 126 and cycled back to the front with 39 laps remaining after green flag pit stops.

The lead grew from there as the race stayed caution-free to the end.

“I was expecting a caution and it just never came,” Reddick said. “Every lap that went

by I’d think about it more and more. It’s hard not to when the laps are winding down like that and you have a goodsized lead like that. You’re just waiting for something to go wrong and it just didn’t happen tonight. We had good fortune and we put ourselves in great position.”

NASCAR Photo Tyler Reddick, driver of the No. 42 BBR/Jason Aldean Chevrolet, celebrates with a burnout after winning Saturday’s NASCAR Xfinity Series VisitMyrtleBeach.com 300 at Kentucky Speedway in Sparta, Ky.

Poole started eighth in the No. 48 Chevrolet and his career-best second-place finish made him the top driver among the 12 who made the playoffs.

“I felt like we had a really good car all weekend,” Poole said. “We made good adjustments throughout the race.

One round I was a little bit too loose and lost a bunch of track position on my teammate. I really think that was the difference between us getting to victory lane and him winning.

I’m really happy for Ganassi

to finish one-two and for Tyler to go to victory lane.”

Justin Allgaier entered the race as the No. 2 playoff seed.

A flat tire in the early going Saturday put him two laps down, but he rallied to finish third and leads the points with the series set to visit Dover International Speedway next.

“We might not have won the playoffs tonight but I think we definitely salvaged what we needed to tonight to be able to move ourselves forward,” Allgaier said.

By finishing fourth, Preece

tallied his third top-five finish in three starts with Joe Gibbs Racing. Playoff contender Cole Custer finished fifth.

Custer started third and swept the first two stages. He led 49 laps and is second to Allgaier in the points standings.

William Byron, who started the playoffs as the No. 1 seed, made an unscheduled pit stop early in the final stage to address a loose wheel and lost a lap. He rejoined the race in 27th place and finished 18th.

Defending race winner and playoff contender Elliott

Sadler finished sixth.

Joe Gibbs Racing swept the front row for the series’ July race at Kentucky Speedway and did it again Saturday.

Kyle Benjamin earned his second pole in five starts this season when the 19-year-old posted a lap of 182.229 mph with less than one minute remaining in qualifying. Moments later, Preece completed a 182.186 mph lap to bump playoff contender Custer from a front row starting spot.

Benjamin led 52 laps and finished 12th.

Bell class of the field in Truck Series win at New Hampshire LOUDON, N.H. (AP) — Christopher Bell was the class of the field in the Truck Series during the regular season. With playoff races underway, Bell proved again he’ll be the driver to beat for the championship.

Bell, the top-seeded driver in the playoff field, passed Ryan Truex with 15 laps left and pulled away to win the NASCAR Trucks race on Saturday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway.

Bell earned an automatic spot in the next playoff round. The Kyle Busch Motorsports driver led 73 laps, won his fifth race of the season and was the only playoff driver to finish in the top five.

Truex, who finished second, didn’t have enough in his Toyota to keep pace with Bell.

“I was driving my truck for everything it was worth,” said Truex, younger brother of Cup driver Martin Truex Jr. Bell knew the No. 4 Toyota was going to be the truck to beat.

“I knew it was tough to pass all day, but our truck had been so good we hadn’t been able to do it until we got to him,” Bell said. “I kept trying to work down and he kept blocking my

air down and down and down. Finally, I got one run where I drove up in (turns) one and two and then got a big run into three.”

The 22-year-old Bell was easily the top representative of the Truck playoff field that didn’t have another driver finish in the top five. Playoff drivers

held spots six through 11.

Matt Crafton was sixth, followed by Ben Rhodes, Austin Cindric, Johnny Sauter, Kaz Grala and Chase Briscoe.

John Hunter Nemechek finished 20th and was the worst finisher among the playoff drivers.

The series heads to Las Vegas next week.

“It’s going to be cool to see these guys to go Vegas and not hold back and give it everything they’ve got,” team owner Kyle Busch said. “We hope to continue that roll going into the future.”

Busch, the 2015 Cup champion, has had the trucks to beat for years in the NASCAR series. KBM has won the Truck Series owner’s championship four straight seasons (2013-2016), and driver Erik Jones won the season championship in 2015. KBM has five owner’s titles since its inception in 2010.

“They’ve been the team to beat for several years now with multiple drivers,” Bell said. “I’m the lucky guy to be in the seat.”

Bell has seven career Truck wins and had his 15th top-10 finish this season.

Astrograph

Mercury and Saturn perpetuate a tense situation today that could lead to a jittery start to the workweek. It’s like a sound in the car’s engine that signals to the driver there might be trouble ahead, yet when the mechanic gets in there, there’s no sign of the issue. Undiagnosed problems can’t be fixed.

It’s a time to remain patient and stay calmly aware.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.

25). You’ve a tingling excitement about the possibilities, which will grow stronger.

November expands your family. Your travels are because of love, but your professional life will get a lucky nudge with the connections and inspira-

tion you gather. Sell a big item in February; buy another almost immediately. Cancer and Aquarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 8, 20, 17, 4 and 18.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Rest is not idleness. Recognize the signals that it’s time to rest, and then take the time you need. This awareness is part of the training. A good sense of pacing will make you stronger and able to work longer.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Ask your heart to be more specific. Figure out why you want what you want. If you don’t have good reasons or if your reasons are too vague,

you will not have the drive to follow through.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). A burden will be lifted from your mind and heart. It’s not a magical hand of fate that does this for you; rather, it’s a different way of looking at the issue or a broadened perspective of your life and self.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

If you knew that you were a source of entertainment, how would that affect your presentation? Would you amp it up or dial it down? Well, you certainly know when and how to lighten the mood, which you’ll do for your friends today.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Competition will bring out your best. It’s not so much about

wanting to prove you’re more skilled than others as it is about having a reason to push yourself and see just what you’re capable of.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’ll call a few key shots.

It’s because a lot seems to fall under your jurisdiction these days. You really aren’t going out of your way to run things.

This is a natural result of just being who you are.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Consider turning the video camera on yourself so you can objectively see what others see in you. Your presentation is what will gain the respect and buy-in of the people you need to influence now.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Perfection is an impossible standard you’d be ill-advised to pursue without a grain of salt and a sense of humor.

Right now, there will be a few nearly perfect findings along the way to make such a quest worthwhile.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). It’s good to be acknowledged. You’ll connect with those who will not only appreciate your good qualities but also showcase and promote them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You’ll learn a lot because you’re so approachable these days, with your affable, easygoing attitude. Small talk will be (or at least should be)

happy talk. Keep it light and everything rolls along.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Remember when you agreed with your loved one just to keep the peace or when you helped another person save face? In a related story, your personal life is a source of validation and support.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Even when you don’t like what you’re asked to do, you try to approach your duties with an attitude of optimism and good cheer. This is why you’ll soon rise to a new level of power and prominence.

Blommers’ fly highlights NCMP’s work at Tiger Tankers Invite

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News WEST DES MOINES — NCMP’s Aquagirls had an opportunity to see where they are at the midway point of the swim season while competing in Saturday’s 2017 West Des Moines Valley’s Tiger Tankers Invitational.

Six of the top 20 high school girls’ swim teams out of the 2017 power rankings competed in Saturday’s swim meet. Second-ranked Dowling Catholic dominated to win with 534.5 points and fifth-ranked Waukee was second with 362 points.

One of the top races in the meet came in the 100-yard breaststroke with three of the top 10 fastest swimmers in the state in the event including NCMP’s junior Lindsey Blommers. Blommers is ranked seventh behind No. 6 Reilly Shaner of Valley. Dowling’s Mary Martin has the fourth-fastest time this season.

It was a race to the final touch as Shaner won the race in 1 minute, 8.16 seconds.

Blommers and Martin finished a tie at 1:08.36. It’s Blommers’ fastest time this season by a fraction — 1:08.37 on Aug. 31.

Martin has gone 1:07.85 this season in the same pool.

“Lindsey looked strong in her race and used good strategy. She also posted good splits in the 200 free and 200 medley relay. We had a few other races where swimmers were

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B first-half touchdowns. Roush returned the kickoff 96 yards and with senior Zach Combs kicking the extra point, the game was tied 7-all in a matter of seconds.

“I just saw our guys blocking up front of me and a big hole opened up. I took advantage of it,” Roush said of the return for a touchdown.”

Marshalltown had the ball for eight plays its second possession. Newton’s established its control of the game over the next 12 minutes of play.

“We messed up on some plays and didn’t ready our keys right on plays early,” junior defensive end Jaise Gulling said.

“We had to come out and work harder. I switched positions this week. I played defensive end last year. We had several people playing new positions this week, but that’s no excuse.”

Sturtz, who shook off the early turnover, combined with Roush, Miller and senior running back Josh Miravalles in finding the holes opened by Newton’s offensive line. Roush ripped off a 17-yard run and Miller had two nine-yard runs to push the Cardinals down the field.

Sturtz had back-to-back runs of seven yards and 22 yards. Miravalles capped the nine-play, 78-yard drive with a two-yard TD run up the middle. Senior Zach Combs, who has overcome a bit of a hip injury issue, was smooth in his motion kicking the extra point.

Newton went up 14-7 and never looked back. The Bobcats pinned the Cardinals back at their 6-yard line with 1:44 left in the first quarter.

No worries, Sturtz blasted through the Bobcat defense and was tripped up at the Marshalltown 15-yard line after a 79-yard run. On the first play of the second quarter, Sturtz pulled out of the grasp of a Bobcat defender to score from five yards out. Combs’ kick made it 21-7.

Sturtz led the top rushing attack in 4A District 4 with 215 yards on 20 carries Friday night. He also was perfect in passing the football, 3-for-3 for 35 yards and one touchdown.

“We pass when we need to,

at or near season or personal best times,” NCMP head coach Sarah Patterson said.

NCMP finished eighth in the nine-team invitational meet. The Aquagirls scored 99.5 points and was behind other teams before the swimming events began because of the diving event.

“This was a tough invitational with a few of the top teams in the state. We definitely swam tired. Newton’s homecoming was last week and two of our other schools had homecoming this week-

end,” Patterson said. “With that said, however, we cannot afford to have what I call feelsorry-itis because any team worth its salt is working hard right now, too. We will really need the girls to focus in the next few weeks, get extra rest when they can, and get ready to swim fast at the end of the season.”

Blommers was 10th in the 50 freestyle in 26.35 seconds with junior Rachel Boll in 19th at 27.62 and sophomore Abbie Hill in 23rd at 29.07.

In the breaststroke event,

but our focus is establishing our running game. If we can run the ball effectively, our passing game opens up when we want it to,” Ergenbright said.

Two minutes after Sturtz found the end zone, Roush was back in it for the Cardinals. One play and Roush took the ball to the outside and dashed 68 yards for a TD. Roush amassed 314 all-purpose yards — rushing, receiving and returning kickoffs and punts— for the game, scoring three touchdowns.

Marshalltown went to the ground game on its next possession. The Bobcats rely more on the passing of Irwin to move the football, but they marched the ball 83 yards powered by Giorgio Diiorio.

Diiorio had back-to-back long runs of 22 and 35 yards to move the ball to the Newton 35-yard line.

On a fourth-and-six situation, Newton committed a five-yard penalty. Irwin ran for two yards for a first down and tacked on a 4-yard TD run on the next play. It was 28-14 with 4:56 left in the second quarter.

“Our tackling was pathetic tonight. When you tackle bad in space, you’re going to give up some big plays,” Ergenbright said. “We have to play better, especially on defense as we move forward into district play.”

Roush’s kickoff return set the Cardinals up at Marshalltown’s 45-yard line. He was one step away from going the distance for a second time in the game.

Sturtz raced 41 yards to the Bobcat 9-yard line, but the Cardinals had to overcome two offensive penalties including a holding one to negate a TD run by Roush. Sturtz completed a pass out to Roush for a 21-yard TD play and Combs added the extra point.

The Bobcats moved the ball through the air in the final two minutes of the first half.

Newton stopped the drive on its 32-yard line and the Bobcats’ Huffman attempted a 49yard field goal, which was no good, to end the half.

Newton went into the locker room with a 35-14 halftime lead. The Cardinals were halted on the opening drive of the second half and Sturtz punted.

Marshalltown decided to go for a fourth-and-one when

the Cardinals tackled Irwin for no gain. Newton took over at the Marshalltown 39-yard line 8:26 left. Miller had a strong run to the 18 then the drive stalled out. On a third down play, Newton fumbled the football and Marshalltown recovered.

The Bobcats threw the football three times, drew a 10-yard penalty and suffered a quarterback sack before punting the ball back to Newton. Newton used eight plays to score on a four-yard run

by Sturtz with 10:36 on the fourth-quarter clock.

“The second half was a bit rough, but we came out and finished strong,” Roush said.

“Having our defense make stops on fourth downs and us making big plays on offense, helped us get the win.”

Marshalltown finally had a scoring strike when Irwin scrambled to find Josh Melde, who had gotten past Newton’s defensive backs, for a 76-yard pass play. Huffman kicked the extra point of make it 42-21 at the 9:07 mark.

Marshalltown executed a successful onside kick, recovering the ball at the Newton 48-yard line. The Bobcats moved to the Newton 21 and faced a fourth-and-one situation. Newton senior Jaden King caught Jordan Fox for a one-yard loss and giving the ball back to the Cardinals.

Newton lost another fumble at its own 45-yard line. On a fourth-and-16 play, Irwin scrambled again and tossed the all to Eygabroad for 38 yards. A pass from Irwin to Melde went for 12 yards putting the ball on the 8-yard line.

Irwin scored on an 8-yard run with 2:48 left in the game.

Another onside kick by the Bobcats was covered by Newton at the Marshalltown 47.

Miravalles had a 41-yard run then finished the drive with a 4-yard run into the end zone.

Combs, who was 7-for-7 on PATs, kicked the extra point.

Newton rolled up 419 yards on the ground. Roush finished with 136 yards on eight carries and caught three passes for 35 yards.

“We had people out of the offensive lineup for practices all week. We had new kids practicing and playing tonight who don’t have varsity experience. It’s different than

NCMP’s sophomore Allison Paulius was 15th in 1:17.46 and senior Briahna Teague was 21st in 1:25.48.

Junior Lakin Jenkins went 15th in the 100 freestyle and the 100 backstroke races.

In the freestyle event, Jenkins posted a 59.45 with junior Alex Inskeep in 18th in 1:00.29 and sophomore Erika Van Sickle was 22nd in 1:02.10.

Jenkins swam a 1:06.54 in the backstroke with Rachel Boll in 18th at 1:09.25 and senior Julia Prime in 25th at 1:17.35.

“Lakin’s backstroke time was her career best. She had an allaround good meet with great splits on the 200 medley relay and on our 400 freestyle relay,” Patterson said. “Rachel Boll continues to drop time in her 50 freestyle and looked good.”
