Conservation fall festival creates traditions

By Kayla Singletary Newton Daily News

David Dolmage/Daily News Fred Hubbell, U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack-D, and Jasper County Treasurer Doug Bishop have a chance to catch up during the Jasper County Democratic Party’s annual fundraiser, held Sunday afternoon in Newton.

Candidates offer hope, chili to Jasper County Dems

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News As Newton residents slurped their soup Sunday afternoon, they also soaked up speeches from the state’s leading gubernatorial candidates at the annual Jasper County Democrats Soup luncheon, one of the county’s longest running events.

Candidates have been making their way to Newton for more than 40 years to meet and mingle with voters, and this year, with a crowded field seeking the state’s highest office those candidates laid out their vision for the future of Iowa.

Candidates for the governor’s office may have stolen the show on Sunday, but residents also got plenty of time to interact with local Democratic party officials as well. They were on hand Sunday to ladle out steaming bowls of chili, and well as answer questions from constituents.

“It’s nice to have our local officials

here, it’s a social setting and not as intimidating, people can get questions they might have answered,” Michelle Smith, the Jasper County Democratic Party chair, said.

U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack-D also addressed the crowd on Sunday, and it was Loebsack that drew the loudest cheers from the crowd, earning a standing ovation.

“Next time I’m going to win Jasper County, our governor is going to win Jasper County, and we’re going to take back the house and the senate,” Loebsack told the crowd.

While promising he doesn’t take anything for granted, Loebsack has been meeting with voters across his district and he said he’s focused on making sure there’s a place for middle class Americans in the state. As he talked about his childhood in Sioux City, the congressman had tears in his eyes as he reminded the crowd “there’s nothing fun about food stamps, there’s nothing fun

about not having a job” but those services are essential in making sure every Iowan has a chance to succeed.

Calling education “the great equalizer” Loebsack said he’s committed to making sure those same opportunities are still available today.

“I wouldn’t be here today if it wasn’t for that, we need to keep making these investments,” Loebsack said.

In Newton, Loebsack said it’s easy to see how important these programs are to residents. After Whirlpool pulled out of Newton, Loebsack said it was clear that residents in Newton needed help.

“Without these democratic opportunities they wouldn’t be back in the middle class,” Loebsack said.

“This community knows that given the struggles they’ve gone through.”

A chili cook-off, a prairie maze and a hayride were just a few fall traditions expected at the Jasper County Conservation Fall Festival Saturday. More than 80 attendees explored Jacob Krumm Nature Preserve and participated in a variety of family activities.

Children had the opportunity to shoot a bow and arrow as they fixed their aim toward a display of pumpkins. Other favorites included face-painting, ring toss and hitching a ride on a wagon to see the sights.

The third annual event was a fundraiser for environmental education programs and other conservation programs, according to naturalist Katie Cantu.

Cantu said the festival drew in around 200 people last year. Although this year’s event didn’t receive the same number of attendees, Cantu said the event is always an enjoyable one for the community.

Monroe car show draws hundreds to town square

Restoration complete

By Kayla Singletary Newton Daily News

Kayla Singletary/Daily News Newton Main Street held a restoration ceremony and ribbon cutting Friday afternoon as four of Newton’s largest murals completed the restoration process. Original artist Carl Homstad was in attendance as well as Halle Siepman who did the restoration work. The four murals restored were the 36-by-82 foot mural on the west side of the E-Clips building featuring a welcome to Newton message, the 16-by-35 foot American flag mural on the VFW building, the 30-by-135 foot Newton farm scene mural at Sersland Park and the 12-by-50 foot mural on the west side of The Farmer’s Wife building featuring Newton stores.

MONROE — Every restored car or truck has a story, perhaps it was passed down from generation to generation or a particular year and model garners memories from teenage years and cruising down the highway.

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Monday, Oct. 2, the 275th day of 2017. There are 90 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 2, 1967, Thurgood Marshall was sworn as an associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court as the court opened its new term.

On this date: In 1780, British spy John Andre was hanged in Tappan, New York, during the Revolutionary War. In 1835, the first battle of the Texas Revolution took place as American settlers fought Mexican soldiers near the Guadalupe River; the Mexicans ended up withdrawing.

In 1919, President Woodrow Wilson suffered a serious stroke at the White House that left him paralyzed on his left side.

In 1941, during World War II, German armies launched an all-out drive against Moscow; Soviet forces succeeded in holding onto their capital.

In 1944, German troops crushed the two-month-old Warsaw Uprising, during which a quarter of a million people had been killed.

In 1950, the comic strip “Peanuts,” created by Charles M. Schulz, was syndicated to seven newspapers.

In 1959, Rod Serling’s “The Twilight Zone” made its debut on CBS-TV with the episode “Where Is Everybody?” starring Earl Holliman.

In 2002, the Washington, D.C.-area sniper attacks began, setting off a frantic manhunt lasting three weeks. (John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo were finally arrested for 10 killings and three woundings; Muhammad was executed in 2009; Malvo was sentenced to life in prison.)

Ten years ago: Blackwater chairman Erik Prince, testifying before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, vigorously rejected charges that guards from his private security firm had acted recklessly while protecting State Department personnel in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Five years ago: On the eve of the first presidential debate of the 2012 campaign, Vice President Joe Biden said the middle class had been “buried” during the last four years, a statement Republicans immediately seized upon as an unwitting indictment of the Obama administration.

One year ago: Colombians rejected a peace deal with leftist rebels by a razor-thin margin in a national referendum, scuttling years of painstaking negotiations and delivering a stunning setback to President Juan Manuel Santos. The Americans won a 17-11 victory over Europe in the Ryder Cup, their biggest rout in 35 years.

Top News At least 50 killed as gunman opens fire at Las Vegas concert LAS VEGAS (AP) — A gunman perched on the 32nd floor of a Las Vegas casino unleashed a shower of bullets on an outdoor country music festival below, killing at least 50 people as tens of thousands of concertgoers screamed and ran for their lives, officials said Monday. It was the deadliest mass shooting in modern U.S. history.

More than 400 victims were taken to the hospital, authorities said.

SWAT officers using explosives stormed the gunman’s hotel room and found he had killed himself, authorities said.

There was no immediate word on the motive for the attack. The U.S. Homeland Security Department said there was no “specific credible threat” involving other public venues in the U.S. Country music star Jason Aldean was performing Sunday night at the

Local & State News Dems Continued from Page 1A Five gubernatorial candidates addressed voters Sunday, here’s a take away from their speeches in Newton.

Hubbell Fred Hubbell reminded the crowd on Sunday he’s not a politician, and he never has been.

Instead, Hubbell insisted his best skill is bringing people together, and he said unity will be a strong theme in his campaign as he attempts to win the state’s highest office.

During his speech Sunday afternoon Hubbell laid out three priorities for the state: education, health care and ensuring incomes continue to increase for all Iowans. Calling it “our fastest growing challenge” Hubbell pledged to support sweeping reforms in Iowa’s health care industry, including bringing back funding to Planned Parenthood clinics across the state. As he’s been campaigning across the state of Iowa Hubbell said he’s enjoying hearing Iowans stories firsthand.

“There’s so much diversity in our state, I want to hear what Iowans like about our state, and interact with them,” Hubbell said.

Boulton For Nate Boulton, it’s all about the people. As he looked across the room Sunday afternoon Boulton told voters about the struggles ordinary Iowans

are facing, and laid much of that blame at the feet of Gov. Kim Reynolds.

“Iowa is better than this, and we’re going to prove that in 2018,” Boulton said.

As a first-term senator in the state senate, Boulton’s had a front row seat to view the state’s problems, and he pledged if elected he’d work to restore collective bargaining rights, including reinstating overtime for the 2,800 state employees Boulton said they are no longer eligible to receive the benefit.

“We know Iowa needs a better path forward if we’re going to win this in 2018 we have to show that we have a vision for Iowa,” Boulton said.

David Dolmage/Daily News John Norris, a democratic candidate for governor, and local resident Gayla Snook have a chance to discuss local issues during the annual Jasper County Democratic Party’s fundraiser held Sunday afternoon in Newton.

Neiderbach With his name badge, John Neiderbach is easy to spot as he wandered through the crowd at the Jasper County Democratic Party fundraiser. For Neiderbach, the badge helps him start a conversation with Iowans about the issues facing the state, even if he’s in line at the gas station.

“The energy level is so high right now, there are so many candidates and so much passion to fight the Republicans,” Neiderbach said.

If elected, Neiderbach is focused on improving Iowa’s schools, cleaning up Iowa’s natural resources, including state waterways and legalizing marijuana. According to Neiderbach, legalizing marijuana would add an additional $200,000 in tax revenue to the state’s coffers, a much-needed boost for Iowa’s

economy. A former Des Moines school board member, Neiderbach said he’s seen firsthand the importance of making Iowa’s schools the best in the nation.

Instead of relying on an advertising campaign Neiderbach is crisscrossing the state, engaging Iowans about the issues they’re most concerned about.

McGuire As the chair of Iowa’s Democratic Party from 2015-16 Andy McGuire has seen firsthand the impact Gov. Kim Reynolds has had, and she said it’s time for Reynolds to go. The Waterloo native, a doctor and health care professional pledged that if elected she’d restore funding to Planned Parenthood and focus on improving Iowa’s educational system to make the state a

“They would also drive it to Des Moines, which was a big deal then.”

leader in K-12 education. Years of underfunding Iowa’s schools have damaged the state reputation McGuire said, but it’s not too late to close the gap in Iowa’s schools.

“Underfunding education for seven years has really made a difference, all of these things are so important, with the new collective bargaining agreement teachers will never more than inflation based raises,” McGuire said.

Reynolds has the wrong priorities McGuire said, but she’s encouraged by the response she’s seen as she’s been traveling the state.

“There’s a lot of energy, people are attending town halls, making phone calls, they’ve awoken, and it’s good for the party,” McGuire said.

The DeSoto that was once a bright green was transformed into a black and sleek vehicle.

“It took us about five years to restore,” Brad Donahue said. “It took a lot of work to get it to where it is now.”

All the hard work was worth it when he was able to see his wife’s priceless reaction to the now driveable DeSoto.

“She was pretty happy,” Brad Donahue said.

“She was the first to drive it home after its final repairs.”

TOO COLD

Norris As a top aide to Gov. Tom Vilsack, John Norris said he’s got plenty of experience cleaning up “a Branstad mess” and that’s exactly what the state is facing under Gov. Kim Reynolds’ leadership Norris told the crowd on Sunday. For Norris, the focus is on making Iowa a leader in renewable energy, and improving Iowa’s public education system, which he called “the key to opportunity for everyone.”

Norris said he’s heard plenty of concerns from voters as he’s campaigned across the state, and he knows what issues are important to Iowans. Calling for health care reforms statewide, Norris said closing mental health institutions around the state means that now Iowa’s jails and prisons are overwhelmed with patients who should be receiving care in a hospital.

Focusing on the economy is critical to the state’s recovery, and Norris said that if elected he’d make sure the state is providing training for skilled labor and would renew a focus on creating pathways in higher education other than a four-year degree.

“We’re dropping the ball on this, we need to create programs where students can learn and earn, with internships and apprenticeships across the state,” Norris said.

Actualities of addiction take hold W

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Oct. 2, 2017

Start the Press Abigail Pelzer

hen the Jasper County Substance Abuse Coalition hosted a community conversation last week it was an accomplishment in many ways.

In its first year, the coalition has collaborated with key players like service providers in the county, law enforcement, businesses and schools — in total about 50 people from these groups and others meet monthly in an attempt to tackle one of our communities’ most harrowing issues. That in itself is an achievement.

The coalition teamed up to showcase a powerful presentation which included overviews of local services, video testimonials from recovering addicts and a deeper look at the heroin epidemic from the officer who heads up the Eastern Iowa Heroin Initiative.

Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess spoke about substance abuse and its direct correlation to crime in Jasper

County and its burden on jails. He pointed toward one of the most frustrating realities of crime and substance abuse — getting people the help they need.

Alcohol was identified as the No. 1 issue locally and nationally. About 88,000 people die from alcohol-related causes each year and alcohol is the third leading preventable cause of death in the U.S. In Jasper County, Employee Family & Resources is armed with a grant to provide binge drinking and underage drinking education and programming.

Much time was spent discussing the wave of heroin use that is already in Jasper County but not to the epidemic levels that have hit cities like Cedar Rapids.

Officer Al Fear, who heads up the heroin initiative in eastern Iowa, applauded Jasper County for its efforts in collaboration and work to create transparency about substance abuse-related issues.

Fear didn’t mince words about the heroin epidemic and its terrifying

movement westward. In Linn County, it has meant more than doubling hospital admissions for heroin overdoses in one year. Heroin claimed the lives of 27 people in the eastern county alone last year.

What’s even more alarming is its undoubted approach and penetration into Jasper County. Moreover, the looming insight that the peak of the epidemic won’t come to realization in Iowa for another three to five years.

For many heroin addicts, Fear said it begins with a legitimate injury which requires pain medication. About 80 percent of heroin use originates from addiction to pills, he said.

While there’s little to do to entirely prevent heroin’s infiltration into Jasper County, there are already strong efforts being made to prepare for it. In addition to its grant to address alcohol consumption, Employee & Family Resources has a significant grant to tackle opioid use for the next three years.

Fear is also hopeful legislators will take action to improve Iowa’s Prescription Monitoring Program which doesn’t make mandatory the use of the program by authorized prescribers.

Fully utilizing the PMP program would mean the elimination of “doctor shop-

ping” for pain meds, he said. Meanwhile, he urged talking to your doctor about whether they use PMP. Events like this are hard to measure in success. You never know when a mom makes a decision to talk her kids about drugs because something during the presentation struck a chord. A neighbor might not speak openly about grabbing some brochures for the family next door who is clearly in the perils of addiction. A person struggling with pills or alcohol may not make a decision to seek help immediately but perhaps the seed has been planted.

Chief Burdess addressed the audience as people who care about their community but also made note of the lackluster crowd size in the Newton High School auditorium. He tasked those in attendance to help spread the word about the coalition, its work and the impact of substance abuse in Jasper County.

For more information find Jasper County Substance Abuse Coalition on Facebook or contact NPD Chief Rob Burdess at the Newton Police Department.

Eye on America John Stossel

Disabled by government A third threat to free speech at University of California, Berkeley has led to more censorship than political rioters or college administrators.

It’s the Americans with Disabilities Act. Berkeley is expensive. Out of state students must pay $60,000 a year. But for five years, Berkeley generously posted 20,000 of its professors’ lectures online. Anyone could watch them for free. Then government regulators stepped in.

The Americans with Disabilities Act stipulates, “No qualified individual with a disability shall ... be denied the benefits of ... services.”

As with most laws, people can spend years debating what terms like “denied,” “benefits” and “services” mean.

President Obama’s eager regulators, in response to a complaint from activists, decided that Berkeley’s videos violated the ADA. The Justice Department sent the school a threatening letter: “Berkeley is in violation of title II ... (T)he Attorney General may initiate a lawsuit.”

What Berkeley had done wrong, said the government, was failing to caption the videos for the hearing impaired.

The ADA makes it illegal to “deny” deaf people services available to others.

Equality is a noble goal, but closed captioning is expensive.

Computers are learning to turn speech into text, but so far they’re not good at it. A speech-to-text program transcribed a Harvard lecturer’s comment “on our campus” as “hot Kampen good.”

Captions that meet government’s standards must be typed out by a person who listens to each word. Captioning Berkley’s 20,000 lectures would cost millions. The school decided that, to be safe, it would just stop offering its videos. The administration even removed the existing videos from its website.

So now, instead of some deaf people struggling to understand university lectures, no one gets to hear them.

Politicians mean well when they pass rules like the ADA, but every regulation has unintended consequences. Most are bad.

In this case, fortunately, an angry entrepreneur came to the rescue. Jeremy Kauffman hates to see valuable things disappear, so right before Berkeley deleted its website, Kauffman copied the videos and posted them on his website, called LBRY (as in Library).

He says the Berkeley videos are just the start of what LBRY has planned. He wants the site to be YouTube — but without the content restrictions.

LBRY uses a new technology that operates like Bitcoin.

It’s “decentralized,” meaning videos posted are stored on thousands of computers around the world. That makes it nearly impossible for governments — or even Kauffman himself — to remove them. He acknowledges that with no censorship, his invention may end up hosting videos of bad things — beheadings, child porn, who knows what else. But he argues that if he creates a system with censorship, “it allows us to keep the bad stuff out, which is great, but it also allows dictatorial regimes to keep content off. Do we want to make videos available to the people in Turkey, Iran and China? We say yes.”

LBRY will let users flag videos depicting illegal actions.

Those videos may no longer be shown on LBRY. However, other websites can show the illegal content using LBRY’s technology, and Kauffman can’t stop that.

Kauffman says he won’t remove the Berkeley videos from his site even if he’s sued.

Government is force whether it is deliberately doing something cruel or just trying to solve one group’s problems by imposing restrictions on others. “Do you want to put a gun to someone’s face and say ‘Caption those videos’? It’s absurd.” It is absurd. What government does is often absurd.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Bernie Sanders thinks war is overrated, and he’s right When Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) was a candidate for president, he seemed uninterested in talking about foreign policy.

Instead, Sanders cast himself as a progressive populist and focused almost exclusively on domestic issues, particularly speaking out against the injustice of economic policies that support the wealthy.

A quick check of Sanders’ campaign website reveals that his foreign policy leaned liberal but was far from radical.

He preferred diplomacy to war (don’t we all?), but he voted to authorize the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan after 9/11. His website says he supported the war on terror, but whether that meant the unrestrained use of drones and missiles all over the world, he didn’t say.

On Sept. 21, Sanders got around to addressing his foreign policy ideas in a significant speech at Westminster College in Missouri. The Nation hailed it as “one of the finest speeches of his career” and “the progressive foreign policy speech we’ve been waiting for.”

The crux of Sanders’ speech was that war as foreign policy has long been overrated.

“Far too often, American intervention and the use of American military power has produced unintended consequences which have caused incalculable harm,” the senator warned. “A heavy-handed military approach, with little transparency or ac-

Another View John Frederick Kaufman countability, doesn’t enhance our security. It makes the problem worse.”

He continued: “We must rethink the old Washington mindset that judges ‘seriousness’ according to the willingness to use force. One of the key misapprehensions of this mindset is the idea that military force is decisive in a way that diplomacy is not.”

Not a pacifist, Sanders said that war is properly the means of “last resort,” which is what most politicians say, including President Trump. Unfortunately, this “last resort” mantra often leads, eventually, to war somewhere — often in the name of a humanitarian or patriotic motive.

Was our invasion of Afghanistan, which Sanders voted in favor of, an instance of having no choice but to bomb and invade a foreign country after 9/11? Was there no choice but to kill many innocent Afghans in order to exact revenge against a relatively small number of terrorists? So far we’ve been in Afghanistan, as a “last resort,” for 16 years.

Sanders also spoke recently to The Intercept. One unfortunate question referred back to a Glenn Greenwald column that argues Hillary Clinton lost the election partly through her support of U.S. military interventions. The

journalist asked Sanders whether he agreed with Greenwald.

Bernie deftly ducked the question, and I don’t blame him: Greenwald, citing a single study, argues that Trump was perceived as being less of a warmonger than Clinton, therefore military families supported Trump. This is, to say the least, an implausible assertion, given Trump’s own vocal celebrations of torture and bombing.

Sanders said he would support a war of defense should the U.S. be attacked, and that he believes genocide should be dealt with through an armed international “peacekeeping” force.

Sanders also bravely asserted that he would consider voting against U.S. military aid to Israel and lambasted the repressive regime in Saudi Arabia, which is now waging a brutal war funded by the U.S. in Yemen.

Elsewhere, the Vermont senator wants to preserve the nuclear treaty with Iran and stay the course of sanctions and diplomacy regarding North Korea. Sanders now sees the endless “war on terror” as a mistake and deplores the recent increases in Pentagon spending.

Though not, alas, a pacifist, Sanders has at last revealed himself to be an American leader articulating a new and largely peaceable foreign policy. And, given our current president’s bombastic bellicosity, Sanders’ speaking his peace comes not a moment too soon.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Young cyberbullying victim admits to cutting herself

DEAR ABBY: My granddaughter “Ruby” has been cyberbullied. I suspect a friend of hers who is her on-again, off-again friend. When the girl is “off,” she is cruel, but Ruby is very attached to her.

Ruby has told her dad and me she’s so depressed and has such low self-esteem from it and that she has started cutting herself. (I think she has just started because she has no marks I could find). Her father is not very concerned, but I am. What’s the next step for me in doing something about this before it has escalated to a level beyond my help? — CONCERNED GRANDMA IN ALASKA DEAR GRANDMA: Continue to affirm your granddaughter, but for now her online presence and social media should be eliminated. Consider putting Ruby into activities that will expose her to different people. A self-defense course might build her confidence and self-esteem, as well as give her the opportunity to make new friends.

However, if she remains depressed to the point of self-injury, your granddaughter may need professional counseling to help her overcome it.

DEAR ABBY: I am 32, married, with two young sons. Since starting my own family, I have grown closer with my mom as a source of support and guidance. The problem is, my dad seems to be jealous of the relationship I have with her — probably because I was a daddy’s girl growing up.

Mom and I were planning a girls’ trip together, just the two of us, and Dad said my mom couldn’t go because he was feeling left out. This was after he invited himself along on another attempt at a girls’ trip.

How can I have a close relationship with my mom without hurting my dad? Should I confront him? — FORMER DADDY’S GIRL IN GEORGIA

DEAR FORMER DADDY’S GIRL: No, your mother should confront him. That you need bonding time with your mother is not a rejection of your father. That you were “Daddy’s girl” implies that he was the favored parent for decades. He doesn’t own you — or her.

Women need each other, and what your mother has to offer you at this stage of your life is important. I hope the two of you won’t allow your father’s insecurity and apparently controlling nature to interfere.

DEAR READERS: Medical eye exams can catch early signs of disease before vision is lost. In addition, many diseases — from high blood pressure and diabetes to some cancers — can be diagnosed early through a medical eye exam.

For seniors who haven’t had an exam in three or more years, the American Academy of Ophthalmology’s EyeCare America program may be able to help. Since 1985, EyeCare America has helped almost 2 million people. More than 90 percent of the eye care provided by nearly 6,000 volunteer ophthalmologists is at no outof-pocket cost to the patient.

This service is offered year-round.

ex-Iowa state senator settled

Fall film series to address racial related topics for discussion and reflection.

“As we go on with each film, we can go into more depth,” Petersen said. “It’s really about paying attention to your daily life and raising awareness of issues of race … even when certain things aren’t happening in Newton it’s important to actively engage in history and improve our community and dismantle racism.”

The working group has been active in Jasper County for two years with a purpose of promoting racial harmony and justice in the county through story sharing, education and addressing institutional systemic racism.

“White privilege is something we need to look at as an issue,” Petersen said. “I think white privilege, in particular, is someone who doesn’t think they have privilege ... if you are white, for example, you are more likely to see someone who looks like you on television.”

According to Petersen, the working group conducted a survey last October to get a sense if there was a need in the county for a justice working group.

“We had a positive response and many who stated it’s a prominently white area, and so we decided to approach this from an education prospective,” Petersen said. “We have approached the high school and principal (Bill) Peters, and we are hoping to come talk to student leaders and administration.”

Peters seemed to show great interest, according to Petersen.

“I encourage people to attend the series with an open mind and be prepared to be challenged with a different perspective,” Petersen said.

“This is also an entrance to make connections and we can pull out those interested folks who want to be a part of the group.”

Note: The three films that are set to be shown during the fall film series are all rated “R” or “MA.” Contact Kayla Singletary at 641-7923121 ext. 6533 or ksingletary@ newtondailynews.com

Democrats in Iowa looking for ways to win back Trump voters

DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa Democrats looking for a prescription for recovery from a decade in decline got encouragement Saturday from emerging national party figures urging more focus on working-class and rural America, where Donald Trump marched to victory last year.

After sending progressive Tom Harkin to the Senate for 30 years and twice delivering the state for Barack Obama, Iowa Democrats are powerless in the House, Senate and statehouse, and remain stunned by Trump’s solid victory in the state last year.

While it’s a familiar scenario across the upper Midwest, the pressure on state Democrats to recoup the working-class voters who marched with Trump is more intense: They’re charged with setting the tone in a little more than two years for the party’s presidential nomination.

Ohio Rep. Tim Ryan, who unsuccessfully challenged Rep. Nancy Pelosi for House Democratic leader in December, has ideas for Iowa, his own state and elsewhere.

Ryan and two other House Democrats — Illinois’ Cheri Bustos and Seth Moulton of Massachusetts — were in Des Moines on Saturday for a Democratic fundraiser. Ryan blamed Democrats for allow-

ing Trump to claim voters in Democratic territory by ignoring them.

“They don’t think we’re with them anymore,” Ryan, from working-class Warren, Ohio, told hundreds at a downtown Des Moines park. “We lost them, and we lost them to Trump. And while I’m mad at Republicans. I’m just as mad at us. We didn’t see them. We didn’t listen to them.”

Just as Iowa Democrats are starting from scratch, the little-known Democrats surveying Iowa are a sign the national party, too, is starting at square one in its search for its next standard-bearer after consecutive, star-studded presidential campaigns.

It wasn’t long ago Iowa Democrats were sitting at a 40year high.

Just seven years ago, Democrats controlled both state legislative chambers and had occupied the governor’s office for 12 years. The party held three of five House seats, while Harkin was Obama’s right hand in the push for the health care law.

But economic blowback from a national financial collapse, a poorly handled state budget crisis and the widespread revolt by grassroots conservatives against the Affordable Care Act created an angry backlash in 2010 against Democrats, especially in Iowa,

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A stagnant farm economy that has slowed Nebraska and Iowa’s income growth to the lowest levels in the nation is also contributing to state budget problems that could linger through next year, officials said.

Key lawmakers from both states said they’re concerned the agricultural downturn will persist, ripping through other sectors and putting additional strain on their budgets.

Declining farm income was the leading cause of the slowdown in many states, including Iowa and Nebraska, according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis. The sluggish growth also hurt agricultural manufacturing, lending, land-rental income and other industries tied to farming, officials said.

“Our farmers have been hurting, and they’ve been hurting for some time now,” said Nebraska State Tax Commissioner Tony Fulton. “The fact of the matter is it’s a big deal in Nebraska.”

Nebraska and Iowa posted the slowest income

Call for References ions Credit Cards Accepted Addit

growth in the second quarter of 2017, according to the bureau report released last week. Incomes increased by just 0.1 percent in both states, compared to a 0.7 percent average nationally.

Farm incomes have fallen because of a glut of corn and soybeans that lowered commodity prices. Agriculture is the largest industry in both states.

Iowa showed strength in other areas of its economy, such as finance, insurance and non-durable manufacturing, but those gains were offset by the farm slowdown, said John Fuller, a spokesman for the Iowa Department of Revenue.

The nonpartisan Iowa Legislative Services Agency reported this summer that incoming revenue for the last budget year fell about $100 million short of projections, but cautioned that the number could fluctuate. Officials with Republican Gov. Kim Reynolds later announced the shortfall was closer to $14.6 million.

Wisconsin, Michigan and Ohio.

Nationally, Democrats have lost more than 1,000 seats in state legislatures, governors’ offices and Congress in the past decade.

Iowa was also undergoing a rapid, politically consequential demographic shift. Iowa ranks in the top 10 of states with the highest population of whites and in the top 15 of those 65 years and older. According to U.S. Census data, both groups — two pillars of Trump’s win statewide and nationally — increased simultaneously after 2010 and became a bigger percentage of Iowa’s electorate.

“We’ve lost touch with certain voters,” state party chairman Troy Price said. “We talk about issues, but not the values behind the issues. We haven’t done the best job communicating with the people we fight so hard for. It’s why we are where we are.”

Bustos, who represents a western Illinois district Trump carried, said Democrats had lost touch with small-town America, a point that echoes in Iowa where the party has lost its once robust rural presence.

“The heartland is far from Trump country, and the road to a successful Democratic Party runs right through the heartland,” she told the party activists.

5 Man accused of setting fire to

GARNER — A defamation lawsuit involving a former Iowa state lawmaker acquitted of sexually abusing his wife has been settled.

A lawsuit filed by former Rep. Henry Rayhons, of Garner, and a countersuit filed by his two stepdaughters were dismissed Wednesday. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed.

Rayhons was acquitted in 2015 after being accused of having sex with his wife while she lived in a nursing home, suffering from dementia.

DES MOINES — Police have identified a woman who died after she was hit by a sport utility vehicle as she walked across a Des Moines street.

Police said 58-year-old Peggy Bragg, of Des Moines, was hit Friday afternoon as she crossed University Avenue on Des Moines’ west side. Investigators say she was hit by a sport utility vehicle driven by a 16-year-old boy, and police believe the SUV was speeding at the time of the crash.

With fall weather officially in full swing, it’s not uncommon to spend evenings inside watching movies.

That’s why The Racial Harmony and Justice Working Group of Jasper County has Peterson or g a n i z e d a free fall film series as a way to ease into an important and sometimes sensitive subject.

The series is set to begin at 6:30 p.m. Thursday and the public is invited to attend the first Thursday of every month through December at the Newton DMACC auditorium. Jessica Petersen, a representative of the group, said the three films will address a variety of racial-related issues that have occurred or are still occurring in the nation.

“We wanted to show thought-provoking films as a way to educate,” Petersen said. “It’s not going to be an intense program or experience — we wanted to make these films more accessible for folks.”

The October film to be shown is “The Birth of a Nation” the November film to be shown is “Fruitvale Station” and the December film to be shown is “13th”.

“We invite people to come and bring their thoughts and experiences … none of us have this all figured out,” Petersen said. “We want to work together to see a lot of positive changes.”

The group picked the films following research to discover what was relevant and what film would depict an accurate history of slavery.

“We wanted to find an accurate portrayal to history even though you can’t always be 100 percent correct,” Petersen said.

Following each showing of the films, Petersen said there will be an opportunity

Volunteers help Iowa school board avoid costly field repairs JACKSON JUNCTION — When a northeast Iowa school board was faced with a costly bill for repairing a baseball outfield, officials decided to seek help from volunteers instead.

A week later, the work is finished and officials happily note they saved about $25,000.

The work was needed at Turkey Valley High School in Jackson Junction, where the outfield’s uneven surface would cause balls to take weird bounces.

It is the membership, along with our community support, that provides the Skiff Auxiliary the ability to be a major supporter to our local Skiff Medical Center.

The Skiff Auxiliary provides funding of important equipment and supplies for the hospital and also offers scholarships to students pursuing a career in health care.

Through membership dues, gift shop proceeds, and donations the Auxiliary in the past few years has funded the remodel of an Emergency Department room to be a safe exam room for psychiatric patients, purchased an upgrade to the Dexa scanner and a nuclear medicine camera for the Radiology department, contributed to the purchase of a Lucas device and a Radiofrequency Ablation machine, and supported the purchase of new equipment for the endoscopy suite.

The organization also coordinates volunteers who donate more than 7,000 hours annually at the hospital by greeting visitors and patients at the ambassador desk or the cancer clinic, delivering flowers and magazines to patients and serving as a clerk at Skiff’s gift shop. Other volunteer opportunities include surgical waiting room greeter, assisting with blood drives, fundraising committees and serving on the Auxiliary Board.

“The beauty of an Auxiliary membership is that you may be as active as you chose within the organization,” said Jane Repp, Auxiliary President. “Members may volunteer, assist with fundraising or serve on our Auxiliary Board of Directors. Or if you don’t have time to dedicate to the organization, you may choose to provide financial support through your annual membership dues.”

Membership is open to all community and Jasper county residents. As appreciation of your membership, new and renewing members will receive a 10% off coupon for the Skiff Auxiliary gift shop.

Membership forms are available at the Skiff Auxiliary gift shop, just inside Skiff’s main entrance. An individual or family membership is only $20 and a lifetime membership is $250. Completed enrollment forms and payment (debit/credit card, cash or checks payable to Skiff Auxiliary) may be either dropped off at the Skiff gift shop, or mailed to Skiff Auxiliary, Attn: Membership, 204 N. Fourth Ave. E., Newton, IA 50208. For those who mail their membership forms/payment, the gift shop coupon will be mailed to the address on the membership form.

“Life finds a way.” The little furry rodents may not be as menacing as the T-Rex at Jurassic Park, but city officials say Muskrats are to blame for the low water levels at Jerold “Jake” Williams Pond at the Prairie City Recreational Complex.

The semi-aquatic mammals are cutting the pond’s clay liner causing it to drain, police chief and city manger Joe Bartello said.

“We believe the Muskrat dens have been created by burrowing through the clay liner in the pond, ultimately causing the pond to leak,” he wrote in a Sept. 15 public safety notice on the city’s website. “Our architect and engineers are working to provide the city with possible solutions to repair the damage.”

According to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Muskrats are the aquatic version of a cottontail rabbit. Their population runs in cycles, having two to four litters of young per year. In the food chain Muskrats serve as prey to

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News As his teammates celebrate behind him, Newton High senior Jaron Roush dashes 63 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter in Friday’s home Class 4A District 4 game against Fort Dodge’s Dodgers. The game became a shootout. Roush scored five TDs, rushed for 246 yards in a recorded-breaking game with the Cardinals claiming a 71-70 win over the Dodgers. The two teams combined for the most points scored in an 11-man game in Iowa since 2002. There were five NHS records set in the contest and Newton improved to 6-0 overall and 2-0 in district play.

Cardinal claim classic win over Dodgers

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Something had to give. The 3.5 hour-long football game finally came to a climax at 11:15 p.m. Friday.

Fans watched a Class 4A District 4 football classic on Friday night at Newton’s H.A. Lynn Stadium. The top two

offensive teams in the district were showing off their wares — rushing vs. passing.

There were a combined 1,325 yards of total offense served up

by Newton High’s Cardinals and the Fort Dodge Dodgers. The Cardinals racked up 561 yards rushing the ball. The Dodgers passed for 329 yards.

It came down to one play

with 16 seconds left on the game clock. Fort Dodge quarterback Drake Miller and the Dodgers used three pass plays to go 46 yards for a touchdown. Newton led 71-70 and the Dodgers decided to end the game on a 2-point conversion play — win it or lose it.

“We got pressure on him (Miller) on the 2-point con-

version pass. He threw it to the end zone and we defended it well,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said. “Giving up 70 points, it’s hard to feel good about your defensive effort, but our guys made some key plays — two fourth-down stops and the play at the end.

Wow, what a game.”

The teams combined to

score 141 points, which was the most points scored in an 11-man football game in Iowa since 2002 when Dowling Catholic beat Southeast Polk 77-66 for 143 points. Fans saw a combined point total which ranked fourth all-time in Iowa 11-man scoring.

Newton places eighth at Cardinal Invitational

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Watching Newton High’s Cardinals play volleyball, there’s no denying the Cardinals play hard and hang tough. It was a long day on their home court in Saturday’s Newton Cardinal Invitational. They did claim a set win in their final match of the event.

Newton went 0-5 in matches in their final home appearance of the season in the Cardinal Invitational. The Cardinals finished in eighth place, losing in the seventh-place match against Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont.

Pella was second in Pool B to Harlan, but defeated Harlan 24-26, 25-23, 15-13 to defend its Cardinal Invitational championship. Harlan was second and had defeated Pella 21-18, 22-20 in pool play. Harlan defeated Boone 24-26, 25-21, 15-11 in championship semifinal action, and Pella got past Grand View Christian 25-22, 25-13.

It was a re-match for the Cardinals and Rockets, who met in

pool play earlier in the tournament, for seventh place. The Rockets won the first match against the Cardinals, 21-13, 21-11.

Both teams ended up in the consolation pool and lost their first matches — Newton falling to Ottumwa 25-16, 25-18 and EBF dropping a 25-19, 25-21 decision to Carlisle. The Rockets got past the Cardinals for seventh place, 25-21, 21-25, 15-7.

Newton led the first set 12-6 and held on with a 17-15 advantage. EBF pushed ahead to 1918 then outscored Newton 6-3 to take the set.

With senior Rachel Berkland serving six consecutive points, the Cardinals broke a 4-4 tie in the second set. Newton never gave up the lead to forge a 1-1 set tie and force a deciding third set with EBF. The Rockets got up 3-1 then rattled off seven straight points to build a 10-2 lead. The Cardinals cut into it at 13-7, but got no closer.

Happy Hawks: No. 9 L-S routs No. 6 Pekin

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News SULLY — In its first five games, the Lynnville-Sully football team hadn’t been put in a position to have to drive the length of the field offensively very often.

The Hawks took advantage of several short fields in the previous five weeks.

Pekin punter Ethan Cooksey pinned Lynnville-Sully deep in its own territory on back-to-back possessions, but the Hawks dug deep and flexed their muscles, Troy Hyde/Daily News Lynnville-Sully junior Gage Vander Leest (17) and senior which let the air out of the PanDrake Ehresman celebrate the Class A No. 9 Hawks’ thers’ balloon early in the first half.

35-7 win over sixth-ranked Pekin on Friday in Sully.

The Class A No. 9 Hawks capped

a 94-yard drive with a 92-yard touchdown pass from senior Elijah Collins to senior Sage Zylstra. That gave L-S the lead for good, and the Hawks added a 98-yard scoring drive that Collins finished himself with a quarterback sneak.

It was the start of a big night for the Hawks, who defeated No. 6 Pekin, 35-7, on for homecoming during District 6 action.

“When I saw them at 4:30 for our normal meeting, they had this look in their eyes. It was crazy. I haven’t seen that look yet this season, but I knew they were ready to go,” L-S coach Mike Parkinson said.

“They were so focused and locked in. Our guys rose up tonight.”

The game was knotted at 7-all after Pekin answered L-S’ first scoring drive with a 60-yard touchdown run by Monico Requena. Requena had a big night on the ground for the Panthers, but the Hawks’ defense didn’t allow another point and controlled the game the rest of the way after the two 90-plus yard scoring drives.

“We can’t let off the gas pedal in these kind of games,” junior linebacker Gage Vander Leest said.

“Pekin is too good of a team to let up for one play. We killed their momentum early, and they didn’t get it back.

Fast start lifts Michigan State over Iowa EAST LANSING, Mich.

(AP) — Joe Bachie wasn’t sure if it was an interception or a fumble recovery.

“I just knew I’d caught it,” the Michigan State linebacker said.

Bachie came diving in and gathered the ball out of midair, giving the Spartans a crucial turnover in the third quarter of their 17-10 win over Iowa on Saturday. That play — it went down officially as a fumble — ended the most promising drive of the second half for the Hawkeyes, and Michigan State held on to win.

Brian Lewerke threw two touchdown passes to Felton Davis in the first quarter, and the Spartans (3-1, 1-0 Big Ten) forced two crucial turnovers in the third. Iowa (3-2, 0-2) managed only 19 yards rushing and has now lost its first two conference games for the first time since 2008.

Davis surpassed his career high in receptions before halftime and finished with nine for 114 yards. His touchdown catches of 22 and 6 yards gave Michigan State a 14-0 lead, and that was enough for the Spartans to come away with an important home victory.

“I think the defense was incredible today,” Lewerke said. “They stepped up when we needed them, when the offense wasn’t finishing drives like we needed to. So I think they definitely were the better of the two today.”

Akrum Wadley scored for Iowa on a 9-yard run in the second quarter, but he was

held to 30 yards on 17 carries.

“It’s a frustrating and very disappointing loss for our football team,” Hawkeyes coach Kirk Ferentz said. “I thought we had a solid week of preparation getting ready for this ballgame — then simply didn’t show up in all areas.”

The Hawkeyes trailed 17-7 at halftime but were on the verge of scoring on the first drive of the third quarter.

After a successful fake field goal, Iowa was inside the 10yard line, but quarterback Nate Stanley had the ball slip

Dunne leads UNI in road win over Southern Illinois CARBONDALE, Ill. (AP) — Eli Dunne was 26-of-36 passing for 266 yards and three touchdowns and the Northern Iowa defense forced three fourth-quarter turnovers to help Panthers beat Southern Illinois 24-17 on Saturday night in the Missouri Valley ConDunne ference opener for both teams.

Daurice Fountain had seven catches for 106 yards and a score and Trevor Allen had 75 yards rushing on 18 carries and added an 11-yard touchdown reception for Northern Iowa (2-2).

Sam Drysdale kicked a 45yard field goal to give Northern Iowa a 3-0 lead with 4:01 left in the first quarter and, after the Salukis went three-andout, Dunne’s 11-yard touchdown pass to Fountain made it 10-0 early in the second.

Matt Sotiropoulos hit a 32yard field goal put Southern Illinois on the board with 4:24 left in the half, but a 42-yard reception by Fountain set up a 4-yard TD catch by Elias Nessen that made it 17-3 at the break.

Kyron Watson forced, and then recovered, a fumble by Allen and, four plays later, Sam Straub hit Jacob Varble for a 5-yard touchdown that pulled the Salukis to 24-17 with 11:17 to play, but the Panthers forced turnovers on each of Southern Illinois’ next three possessions — including an interception by Jake Hartford at the 3 with 1:47 remaining.

out of his hand as he began a throwing motion, and Bachie caught it out of the air.

Brandon Smith fumbled the ball away in Michigan State territory on Iowa’s next possession.

“Anytime you turn the ball over it’s not a good thing,” Iowa receiver Matt Vandeberg said. “We harp on ball security and we want to make sure when we have it that it stays ours. So when that stuff happens, it not only takes away points, you put your defense in a rough spot.”

The Spartans held on at the end after Lewerke scrambled for a first down on thirdand-12 with under 4:00 to play. By the time Iowa got the ball again, the Hawkeyes were back at their own 16 with 45 seconds remaining.

The Takeaway Iowa: The Hawkeyes lost to Penn State on the final play last weekend, but they were outgained badly in that game, and their inability to move the ball against Michigan State is cause for concern. The last time Iowa started 0-2 in Big Ten play, the

Hawkeyes did rebound quickly, winning five of their final six conference games.

Michigan State: The Spartans have already matched last season’s win total, and this victory gives them a solid chance to go to a bowl. They still have some issues offensively, though. The running game was substandard against Iowa and prevented Michigan State from putting the game out of reach earlier.

Field Position Michigan State’s Jake Hartbarger put all five of his punts inside the 20, helping the Spartans hold Iowa at bay.

“He can punt very, very well. He knows that, and he’s in rhythm,” coach Mark Dantonio said. “Sometimes we’re outpunting the coverage, but we’ve had great coverage at this point as well.”

Bounces The game may have turned on two plays near the end zone. Stanley lost his fumble in the third quarter. Back in the first, Michigan State’s Matt Sokol fumbled but was able to recover at the Iowa 6, immediately before Davis’ second touchdown.

The Spartans had lost six fumbles through their first three games.

Up Next Iowa: The Hawkeyes host Illinois next Saturday.

Michigan State: The Spartans head to Ann Arbor for a Saturday night game against rival Michigan. The Wolverines were idle this weekend.

Hawks

Continued from Page 1B It was key that we just kept at it.”

Vander Leest finished with seven tackles on the night.

The Hawk defense bent quite a bit as Requena rushed for 167 yards on 23 carries. L-S didn’t break though, forcing six punts and three turnover on downs in the game.

After Pekin scored its only TD of the night early in the first quarter, the Panthers ended the half with three straight punts and then L-S blocked a field goal as time expired.

“We made an adjustment after the TD,” Parkinson said.

“We felt like we were giving up something on the edge. I liked our plan coming in, but I tip my hat to coach (TC) Cunningham and the adjustment he made. The guys rallied behind it. We played shutout football after that.

They got some yards, but we kept them off the scoreboard.

That’s the hallmark of a good defense against a good team.”

Three different Lynnville-Sully ball carriers scored rushing TDs in the game, and Collins threw for a season-high 187 yards and two scores.

The Hawks got great field position with a strong kickoff return to open the game.

L-S drove 36 yards and converted three third down and longs in the process. The final third and long was a 14yard TD pass from Collins to junior Tyson Vander Linden.

Requena got 60 of his 167 yards on one carry on Pekin’s first possession. He took it to paydirt to tie the game.

After L-S turned it over on downs, the defense forced one of its two three and outs in the first half.

The offense got the ball back but the drive started on their own 6-yard line. Senior Evan Squires gained two on first down and then an incomplete pass forced another third and long.

Parkinson sent Zylstra back into the game, and dialed his number for a big play. Zylstra got loose out of the backfield and sprinted to the end zone after taking

Collins’ pass on the run.

“We had something that we schemed up in practice this week,” Parkinson said.

“We thought we had the matchup on that particular play.”

L-S (6-0 overall, 4-0 in district play) started on its own 2-yard line on its next possession. This time, the Hawks needed more than three plays, but still reached the end zone.

The Hawks got a 15-yard run by Squires, a 49-yard run

by Zylstra and then Collins hooked up with senior Drake Ehresman for 26 yards.

Vander Linden was tackled just shy of the end zone on an 11-yard run, but Collins plunged over the goal line on the next play to put the home team up 20-7.

“We had some bad field position. But scoring on those two long drives gave us a lot of confidence for the rest of the game. It gave us a lot of momentum,” L-S linemen Jesse Van Wyk said. “I thought we wanted it a lot more than they did. It was a great win for us.”

The final scoring drive of the first half came after the Hawk defense forced another three and out. L-S needed to go only 36 yards to go up 28-7. Junior Nate Stock gained 16 yards on third down to move the chains and eventually Squires scored on the seventh play of the drive from 2 yards out.

Stock finished the scoring in the second half with

a 77-yard TD run. He took the pitch out to the left side, made one move and was gone. He had a team-high 101 yards on six carries.

“He is super explosive from that fullback position.

When he makes a good cut, he has a chance to go,” Parkinson said. “We have two tailbacks and two fullbacks that do most of the work back there, and they are OK with sharing the ball. They have embraced the role. They are all buddies, and it’s not a me-me thing.”

L-S rushed for 236 yards and passed for 187 in the district win. Pekin tallied 250 yards on the ground but only threw for 48 yards on 22 pass attempts.

“Pekin answered us right away after our first TD, and our guys took that to heart and kind of said ‘not here, not tonight,’” Parkinson said.

It was an impressive performance by the Hawks, who had to deal with the extra distraction of homecoming.

“It was hard. There was a lot of distractions. We were tired. There is so much going on. But at the end of the week, we knew what we had to do,” said Vander Leest, who blocked the Pekin field goal attempt late in the second quarter. “We focused in right before the game. We came out swinging and never let up.”

Collins hooked up with Vander Linden three times for 56 yards, and Ehresman hauled in three passes for 39

yards. Zylstra rushed for 73 yards on eight carries.

Senior Carson Dunsbergen had a team-high nine tackles on defense. Squires joined Vander Leest with seven tackles, Vander Linden and senior Kemper Lukehart totaled six tackles and Zylstra and Van Wyk each had five.

Junior Grant Wehrle had the team’s only sack.

“That was a statement game for us. We might have just put a giant target on our back, too, but it is what it is,” Parkinson said. “We were able to execute. They have good athletes, and I don’t think the score indicates how good of a football team they are. We just really executed and made some big plays.

“I am proud of them. They played their hearts out and got a big win. We have to reload though. We have another big one next week.”

The big game next week kicks off at 7 p.m. Friday at New London, which comes into the game 5-0 overall and 3-0 in district play.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B Newton had just engineered what many believed the final scoring drive of the game. They were behind 6463 with 2 minutes remaining in the game.

“We practice the 2-minute drill every Thursday. We weren’t going to flinch. I did earlier when I fumbled the ball, but not this time,” Newton senior Garrett Sturtz said of Newton winning TD drive.

Sturtz connected with senior split end Trevor Ergenbright, who was back after missing a couple of games because of an injury. The 20-yard pass play came on a fourth-and-12 to give Newton the football at the Fort Dodge 27-yard line Sturtz, who threw for 105 yards in the game, found senior running back Jaron Roush for a 23-yard TD pass.

He and Ergenbright hooked up one more time for the 2-point conversion lifting Newton to a 71-64 lead with 43.5 seconds left.

Fort Dodge’s Trey Mosley ran the game’s opening kickoff back 90 yards to begin the scoring fest. Down 7-0, the Cardinals answered with a 59-yard, four-play drive capped by a 15-yard TD run

by Roush. Senior Zach Combs kicked the extra point.

“It was exciting out there.

We never gave up,” Newton junior tight end Jacob Murphy said. “We didn’t shy away and came right back after the kickoff return. We knew we had to answer right away and it would set the tone.”

The drama built from that point on in the back-and-forth game. Throw in a brief delay after the first Newton touchdown when the stadium lights on the visitor’s side went out.

“This was one for the ages.

I’ve never been apart of a game like this,” Ergenbright said after the exciting end to the contest.

Newton established or tied five team marks in the game.

Combs tied the record of most extra-point kicks, 9-of9, established in 2007. The combined point total and total offensive output by the two

Mustangs Continued from Page 2B three touchdowns, junior Wes Cummings gained 148 yards and scored a TD on seven carries and senior Noah Anderson scored three different ways in the win.

The Mustangs led 14-0 after one quarter. They started the game with two punts but got going when Worth hooked up with junior Isaac Telfer for an 11-yard TD catch. Cummings scored his TD on a 54-yard touchdown run with 38 seconds to play in the quarter.

Worth hit junior Brayton Van Dyke for a 24-yard TD to put the Mustangs up 21-0.

That’s when Anderson scored three straight TDs.

teams were new team records for Newton football.

The Cardinals’ total offensive yards of 666 was a new high since 2000 when the team had 637 yards against Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson. The 71 points was the most scored in a game by Newton since tallying 74 against Southeast Polk in 1984.

Newton has scored 325 points during its 6-0 run this season. In 1983, Newton had 304 points in a nine-game season.

Once the lights came back on in the stadium on Friday night, the teams revved it up again.

On the kickoff, Newton senior Grayson Graham recovered a short kickoff at the Fort Dodge 32-yard line. It took four plays to reach the end zone for the Cardinals with Sturtz running in from six yards out. Combs’ kick put the Cardinals up 14-7.

Fort Dodge came right back with its passing game and the running of freshman Dayson Clayton. Miller found Mosley on a 35-yard pass play for a TD at the 7:06 mark. Ben Nebel, who would hit 8-of-8 PATs, tied the game at 14-14.

The Dodger defense halted a Cardinal drive and forced a punt, which was short. One 38-yard running play by ClayHe begin that stretch with a 26-yard TD run and then ended the half with a 58-yard touchdown reception.

The Mustangs’ lone Anderson points in the second half came on Anderson’s 61-yard punt return.

Chariton (2-4 overall, 1-3 in the district) scored two touchdowns on PCM’s backup defense.

The Chargers scored late in the third quarter to break the shutout and then added another score in the fourth.

Cummings added 60 receiving yards on two catches to go with his 148 rushing

ton and the extra-point kick had Fort Dodge up 21-14.

“I knew coming into the game they were going to be tough for us to defend. They are a style of offensive team which gives us problems,” Ergenbright said. “Our prescription for winning the game was to score points, finish drives, drive the ball and take time off the clock. I never imagine it would have to be 71 points.”

Newton responded with a nine-play, 67-yard drive which ate up five minutes at the end of the first quarter.

Sturtz handed the ball off to senior Josh Miravalles, who handed it off to Roush on a reverse play. Roush scored the second of his five touchdowns in the game on a 7-yard run.

The Cardinal defense had three big plays which turned the tide in the game each time.

In the second quarter, Fort Dodge went on a fourth-andfour play and was stopped by the Cardinals at the Newton 22-yard line.

On the fifth-play of the drive, Miravalles broke loose for a 45-yard TD run. Newton was up 28-21 with 8:38 left in the second quarter. The Dodgers knotted it 28-al two minutes later with Clayton rambled 30 yards to the end zone. yards. Anderson had 29 rushing yards, 58 receiving yards and a 61-yard punt return for a TD. Telfer, Van Dyke and juniors Preston Van Wyk and Jarron Trausch all had two receptions.

Defensively, junior Chance Palm had a team-high six tackles.

Senior Jacob Woody and juniors Brycen Rogers and Nick Meinders all had fumble recoveries. Trausch, Rogers and senior Jacob Ponder all had 3 1/2 tackles.

Again, the Cardinals embarked on a nine-play drive to paydirt. With several penalties coming near the goal line against Fort Dodge, the Cardinals were within inches of taking the lead. Officially, Miravalles is given a 1-yard touchdown run, but he burrowed his way up the middle from about three inches out and Combs added the extra point.

“It’s tough running up the middle but someone has to do it. Whatever I can do to help our team win, I’m going to do it,” the 5-foot-7-inch, 175-pound Miravalles said.

“We blocked well for each other all night. Everyone executed out there.”

Newton held a 35-28 lead at halftime and got the football to open the third quarter.

The Cardinals weren’t able to build on the momentum coming out in the second half and punted to the Dodgers.

In one play — an 88-yard pass from Miller to Mosley — the Dodgers tied the game up, 35-35. Newton’s response was a few yards shorter but on one play and in the same amount of time — 11 seconds. Roush dashed 63 yards to the end zone.

The Newton defense came up for a second time to stop

the Dodgers. At the 7:10mark of the third quarter, the Dodgers faced a fourth-andone situation, the Cardinals stuffed a running play for a loss and returned the football to the Cardinal offense.

Roush capped a 72-yard drive with a 28-yard TD run.

Roush ended up with 246 yards on 12 carries to lead the Cardinal running game.

The Cardinals were in control up two scores with 5:19 left in the third quarter.

Fort Dodge did something a bit out of character. The Dodgers put together a 13play drive, consuming more than four minutes. Drake Miller pushed on a quarterback sneak from the 1-yard line and Nebel kicked the extra point.

“I’m proud that every time our kids needed to stand up and do the job — offensive or otherwise — they did it,” Ergenbright said. “How many plays did Jaron, Josh Miller, Garrett and Josh Miravalles give us. It was good to have Trevor back as he made some key catches.

“Jacob Murphy blocked so well on our rocket sweeps.

And the guys up front just knock their players off the ball play after play. I didn’t think we could do that to that defense.”

A short kickoff set up a three-play TD march by the Cardinals. Again, penalties against Fort Dodge moved the ball within inches of the goal line as the fourth quarter opened. Sturtz, who had 130 yards on 18 carries, had a 1-yard TD run.

Fort Dodge quickly went to the air and in a little more than a minute scored. Drake Miller scrambled in from 13 yards out. It was 56-49 with 10:35 left in the game.

Three minutes later, Newton junior Josh Miller powered into the end zone from seven yards out. The Cardinals stayed two scores in front of the Dodgers, but not for long.

Fort Dodge struck from the air again. Tyson Kershaw hauled in an 8-yard pass from Drake Miller and Nebel kicked the extra point.

Astrograph

Observations come at a cost; it’s why movie tickets, art exhibits, sporting events and theme parks ask for money upon entrance. But it’s not just special events; everyday life is costly to see, too. Seeing comes with a responsibility to act on what you observe. The moon in Pisces lends greater powers of empathy to assist in the matter.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 2). You’ll finally hear the words you longed to -- beautiful music! Before the end of the year, you’ll heed a calling.

You’ve the courage to ask the hard questions in January. Answers will guide a new pursuit.

You’ll become increasingly

self-sufficient through 2018.

You’ll be part of a new team in March. Aquarius and Scorpio adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 50, 2, 12 and 45.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

The logical assumption is that someone has to be driving the relationship, though right now the relationship is like a self-driving vehicle. You’re both able to take care of your own business, and it’s actually staying on the road.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The win-win solution isn’t always possible. In that case, you’d rather opt out of the whole deal than see another person lose to you. It’s not the

competitive spirit so many around you have, but it will work best for you now.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

The world is constantly telling you what to want. You may not really want most of the stuff the world is trying to sell you, yet it’s hard to hear what your real desire is through all of the pretty noise.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

First it seemed impossible; then merely daunting. Now that it’s done, you know it’s doable -- not easy and perhaps not anything you’d want to go through again but doable -which is good to know.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You have the sneaking suspicion that the task at hand is not

something you’ll be good at right off the bat or maybe ever.

But what if it’s something you’ll eventually be great at?

You won’t know if you don’t start.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You want what someone else has, and it’s something you can have, too. There’s room for many to be successful in this realm, and the world will be better for the successful multitudes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). It may be the case now that the very best way to say something is to do something. Action speaks louder while eliminating the need for speaking altogether.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

“Leap and the net will appear,” said essayist John Burroughs.

Many acrobats and tightrope artists in training are alive because they didn’t expect such magic. Observe the difference between optimism and foolishness.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You can feel when you’re clicking with someone and when you’re not. This kind of chemistry is a thing you can’t predict or control; you just have to get in there and meet different people to know.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Some people lower their energy level to avoid participating fully in life. Beware of those who use tiredness as a defense. Avoid those who wear

exhaustion like an armor.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

It’s true that a bold choice will open unforeseen opportunity down the road. So will any choice, actually. In today’s case, consequences will happen more quickly than usual.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

There are some who test the limits to know where they are. In polite society, alarm bells won’t sound when the boundaries have been crossed.

Reactions are more nuanced.

This is tricky stuff. Is it really worth the risk?

Sports Cardinals Continued from Page 4B

It was a back-and-forth, upand-down the field contest.

There was five minutes left in the game and Newton had the football and was driving.

After a good pick-up of yards, Sturtz fumbled the football, which was recovered by Ford Dodge’s Bryer Nelson. It was the only turnover in the game.

Fort Dodge scored with 2:05 left on Drake Miller’s fourth TD pass of the night then the Dodgers went for two points to get the lead. Mosley went airborne to reach the end zone and put Fort Dodge up 64-63.

“We knew what we had to do,” Murphy said about the Cardinals with two minutes remaining in the game.

Sturtz led the Cardinal offense back on the field, ready to run the 2-minute offense.

“We came together. We were not giving up this one. We were going to bring home the win.

We played smart on that last drive,” Sturtz said. “You have to give Fort Dodge credit. They didn’t give up on it either and have some guys who can make things happen. Our defense got the job done at the end.”

Senior linebacker Grant Garvis and Combs, a safety, led the defensive charge for the Cardinals. Garvis had seven solo tackles — two for losses — and five assisted tackles. Combs made six solo stops and three assisted tackles and broke up two pass plays. Graham had five solo tackles and one assisted tackle.

Senior linebacker Cole Cazett had four solo tackles — one for a loss — and three assisted tack-

les. Senior linebacker Blayden Rhone recorded four solo stops and four assisted tackles.

Miravalles finished with 114 yards on 15 carries and Josh Miller had 72 yards on 13 carries.

Ergenbright made three catches for 56 yards. Murphy had one reception for 26 yards and Roush had one catch for 23 yards.

Fort Dodge had 659 yards of total offense, breaking a school record that had lasted for just two weeks, according to the Fort Dodge newspaper.

The Dodgers finished with 613 yards in a 62-52 home win over Ames on Sept. 15.

Miravalles and his coach gave credit to the Newton scout team players. Ergenbright said a team cannot be 6-0 without good practice people and the NHS junior varsity players help prepare the varsity every week.

“Our scout team is amazing. We couldn’t have done this without the effort they’ve given during practices,” Miravalles said. “Tonight, it was a roller coaster of emotions. It feels great to be on the upside of it.”

Newton improved to 6-0 overall and 2-0 in 4A District 4 action. Fort Dodge dropped to 3-3 overall and 0-2 in district play.

The Cardinals are on the road this Friday at 4A 10thranked Southeast Polk, which lost 41-34 to Valley in overtime on Friday. Newton hosts 4A No. 3 West Des Moines Valley on Oct. 13 for Senior Night.

“We have two of the best teams in the state coming down the pike — Southeast Polk and Valley. A team like us isn’t suppose to beat those teams, but I guarantee we’re going to go give it a shot,” Ergenbright said.
