Spangenburg denied bond following two requests

By Kayla Singletary Newton Daily News A Monroe man facing a slew of charges, including first-degree vehicular homicide, was denied bond Wednesday following two recent requests in Jasper County District Court.

Spangenburg requested a bond of $200,000 on Sept.

26. In a hand-written statement Spangenburg stated, “I would like to get out and find a full-time job and find an outpatient treatment and stay away from alcohol.” His Spangenburg first request was denied.

On Wednesday, he again requested another $200,000 bond. The judge denied a bond review.

Spangenburg, formerly of Newton, was most recently was arrested on July 27 in Monroe after he allegedly followed a vehicle and punched the driver twice in the face in an attempt to force his way in. Previously, Spangenburg was charged with vehicular homicide for the October 2016 death of Bret Rice.

Spangenburg was the driver of a motorcycle which crashed at West Fourth Street South and South 15th Avenue West near Maytag Park killing his passenger, Rice.

Newton police said Spangenburg’s BAC was more than double the legal limit at the time of the crash. A Feb. 14 jury trial date is set for those charges.

He was wanted by law enforcement Sept.

12 on a no-bond warrant following an arrest for public intoxication while he was out on bond for his previous charges.

In pursuit

NPD Citizen Police Academy students take on patrol vehicles

By Kayla Singletary Newton Daily News Editor’s Note: This is one in an occasional series about the Newton Police Department Citizen Police Academy, which spans nine weeks and offers local citizens an opportunity to engage in classroom and hands-on training, With one foot on the accelerator and flashing blue lights to the rear, some people may have experienced adrenaline while being pulled over by law enforcement for a traffic violation. Students

with the Newton Police Department Citizen Police Academy sat in the driver’s seat of a NPD patrol vehicle Tuesday night and saw what it was like to be on the opposite side of the pursuit.

During the third week of the citizen police academy, the NPD focused on two things — reversing and speed. At Iowa Speedway, NPD officers Keith Pittman and Brian Foster instructed the class on how to maneuver a park and turn course and how to utilize the pivot points in the vehicles.

A maze of bright orange cones awaited the class as they attempted to finish the course while traveling in reverse. In addition, the NPD vehicle only allowed the driver to have two mirrors, both were side mirrors. The lack of a center rear view mirror was especially hard for drivers.

Officers aren’t able to utilize their center rear view mirror due to the back seat having barriers to prevent passengers in the rear from escaping.

“I realized how dependent I am on my back-up camera in my own car,”

Tiffany Thomas, a member of the citizen police academy said after she tried the course. “I couldn’t see anything out of the middle mirror and it was hard to judge the distance between the car and the cones.”

Thomas completed the course only hitting one cone, but it didn’t come easy.

“It gave me an opportunity of a challenge to drive a vehicle of that size with just the side mirrors, and often times police officers are doing that at high rates of speed,” Thomas said.

For another participant, Christie Busby, she passed the course with flying colors by not hitting any cones.

Changes ahead for Union Cemetery Proposed rules will bring cemetery in line with other city parks

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News David Dolmage/Daily News Cemetery manager, Lisa Bernal, left, confers with Dale Maki of the American Legion and Marta Ford, a member of the Veterans Affairs Commission in Jasper County as they look at spaces available for veteran burials during a tour of Union Cemetery on Tuesday afternoon. City planners in Newton are looking to create additional burial areas for veterans and are seeking input from members of the veteran community in Newton.

In order to bring Newton’s Union Cemetery in line with other city-operated parks, administrators in Newton

are looking at changing some of the operational rules for the park.

The biggest change that could affect residents is a shift in cleanup dates at the cemetery.

During a Wednesday afternoon meeting, c​ity administrators met with veterans groups to discuss some of the proposed changes and to discuss expanding the veterans area at Union Cemetery to meet the needs of deceased vet-

erans.

Brian Laube, the community services planner for the City of Newton said the city wanted to get input from veterans before making any changes in the veterans area at Union Cemetery.

With an influx of Vietnam veteran burials, the city is rapidly running out of room for veteran burials at Union Cemetery.

Park Centre celebrating 25th anniversary in Newton

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Almost 30 years ago, a group of concerned Newton residents formed a committee to research bringing a retirement community to the city. Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, Park Centre, a WesleyLife Community, has surpassed the committee’s expectations by providing independent living for retiring

adults along with assisted living and the Garden View Alzheimer’s unit.

“It was a real grass roots effort,” marketing director Margot Voshell said. “An organi-

zation didn’t come to town and say we are going to build a community, the community reached out. We are pretty proud of that.”

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Thursday, Oct. 5, the 278th day of 2017. There are 87 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 5, 1947, President Harry S. Truman delivered the first televised White House address as he spoke on the world food crisis.

On this date: In 1931, Clyde Pangborn and Hugh Herndon completed the first non-stop flight across the Pacific Ocean, arriving in Washington state some 41 hours after leaving Japan.

In 1969, the British TV comedy program “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” made its debut on BBC 1.

In 1984, the space shuttle Challenger blasted off from the Kennedy Space Center on an 8-day mission; the crew included Kathryn D. Sullivan, who became the first American woman to walk in space, and Marc Garneau, the first Canadian astronaut.

In 1990, a jury in Cincinnati acquitted an art gallery and its director of obscenity charges stemming from an exhibit of sexually graphic photographs by the late Robert Mapplethorpe.

Ten years ago: President George W. Bush defended his administration’s methods of detaining and questioning terrorism suspects, saying both were successful and lawful. Topps Meat Co. said it was closing its business, six days after it was forced to issue a massive beef recall.

Five years ago: A month before the presidential election, the Labor Department reported that unemployment fell in September 2012 to its lowest level, 7.8 percent, since President Barack Obama took office; some Republicans questioned whether the numbers had been manipulated.

One year ago: Portugal’s former prime minister Antonio Guterres won the Security Council’s unanimous backing to become the next U.N. secretary-general, succeeding Ban Ki-moon. Frenchman Jean-Pierre Sauvage, Scottish-born Fraser Stoddart and Dutch scientist Bernard “Ben” Feringa won the Nobel Prize in chemistry for making devices the size of molecules.

New cars increasingly crammed with distracting technology

AP Photo Infotainment technology in new vehicles is making drivers take their eyes off the road and hands off the wheel for dangerously long periods of time, a study being released by AAA on Thursday

WASHINGTON (AP) — The infotainment technology that automakers are cramming into the dashboard of new vehicles is making drivers take their eyes off the road and hands off the wheel for dangerously long periods of time, an AAA study says.

The study released Thursday is the latest by University of Utah professor David Strayer, who has been examining the impact of infotainment systems on safety for AAA’s Foundation for Traffic

Safety since 2013. Past studies also identified problems, but Strayer said the “explosion of technology” has made things worse.

Automakers now include more infotainment options to allow drivers to use social media, email and text. The technology is also becoming more complicated to use. Cars used to have a few buttons and knobs. Some vehicles now have as many as 50 buttons on the steering wheel and dashboard that are multi-functional.

Police Continued from Page 1A “It was nerve-wracking — I drive a truck every day and I kind of knew that pivot point but it’s still so hard to see to judge the vehicle from the cone,” Busby said. “I realized the level of skill you have to have when you’re (police) out there, they have to maneuver around people and debris, they have to have skills.”

The favorable course was the pursuit course when participants jumped into the driver’s seat of the police vehicle. Sgt. Chris Wing explained the importance

of communication to dispatch during a vehicle pursuit.

Cemetery

Wing said before the chase gets too in depth, it’s important to

ployees remove decorations from the graves and making sure the public is aware when it’s underway is important. City administrator Matt Muckler said it’s a sensitive issue for residents.

“It would be helpful if staff understood what would be moved and what would not be moved,” Muckler said. “We’ve never had a year go by without a complaint.”

Tim Halferty, a city parks department employee, said one of the biggest issues city employees face while mowing and trimming out at the cemetery is that often, decorations have been placed on the ground, requiring city employees to move them every time they mow.

“They are supposed to be on the foundation only, as far as I’m concerned it’s not OK,” Halferty said.

Marta Ford, a member of the Jasper County Veterans Affairs Commission, was one of several veterans who attended Wednesday’s meeting. Ford said she’s glad to see the city making an effort to solidify their policies and taking a more active interest in taking care of the cemetery. Ford was happy to see the city working with funeral directors and veterans groups in order to create a set of rules that worked for everyone.

“Everyone just kept passing the buck on this, this is more interest than we’ve ever had,” Ford said. “I think the people in Newton will be pleased that the city is taking an interest in the cemetery.”

Other proposed changes at Union Cemetery include banning smoking and tobacco products on the grounds, solidifying the fee schedule for burials, and increasing the minimum notice for internment from 24 to 48 hours. These changes will bring the cemetery in line with the city’s other parks, Laube said.

Muckler said he hopes to have the changes ready for city council members to vote on soon, and he doesn’t expect there’ll be any opposition to the changes.

“We’ll do a good job of getting it explained to the council,” Muckler said.

Continued from Page 1A “We’re looking to expand the cemetery but we wanted to get input from veterans first,” Laube said.

Currently, two locations within Union Cemetery are designated for veterans. Sections V-1 and V-2, the veteran areas at Union Cemetery are nearing capacity. Five hundred fifty-two veterans are buried in V-2, with an additional 96 spaces remaining open, while V-1 currently has 300 veterans buried there, with 32 open spaces. The layout at V-1 has a reduced amount of space due to a section that is devoted to the parade ground area.

Lisa Bernal, the cemetery manager at Union Cemetery said she anticipated the cemetery filling up in the next years. Veterans are filling the cemetery at a rate of 16.5 veterans per year, with seven veteran funerals in 2017 so far. At that pace, the city will run out of space for veterans by 2025.

With less than 1 percent of the population serving in the armed forces, demand will eventually peak for the veterans cemetery, but right now the cemetery is experiencing a heavy influx of Vietnam veteran burials.

One option on the table for city planners is to create smaller interment spaces, specifically for cremation urns. According to Laube, cremation is overtaking traditional casket burials, and creating the smaller plots at Union Cemetery would help the city conserve space.

Another option under consideration by city planners would be to create a “family plot” and allow cremation urns to be placed above an existing casket. At one point, city planners had looked into double stacking coffins, but that plan isn’t feasible due to issues with the water table at Union Cemetery.

The current cleanup dates at Union Cemetery are the fourth week of March and the first full week after the Fourth of July. Laube’s proposal would move the July cleanup date later in the year to give people a chance to decorate for the holidays.

During the cleanup dates, city em-

let dispatch know, the vehicle’s license plate, location and reason for

pursuit. Wing initiated the lights and sirens for every citizen driver as they “pursued” Foster on the racetrack. Foster led participants on a chase around a part of the speedway with sharp turns and circles.

The exercise left participants with the “wow” factor.

“It’s adrenaline pumping, it’s not every day you get to go into a police vehicle and not have many rules,” Skye Herman, of Monroe, said. “My stepdad is a retired police officer and so I have some knowledge about what we’ve been talking about.”

Herman said she has always wanted to be a

police officer but when she had children she wanted to be with them instead.

“This is my way to get closer to the guys that are protecting where I live, and a way to see what they do every day,” Herman said.

The Newton Police Department Citizen Police Academy is a nine-week session that runs from Sept. 19 to Nov. 14 to promote a better relationship between the NPD and the community it serves.

Participants were chosen through an application process.

Park Centre Continued from Page 1A that would be interested in building in Newton if the community would help back it.”

Soon after, the ball started rolling and plans were put in place to build a $13 million facility on the northern side of Newton’s downtown district.

The original building had 63 one, two and three bedroom units and was sold out before construction was even underway. Prior to the facility moving in its first resident, organizers were already planning on an expansion.

“Every apartment was accounted for which then prompted them to add on more apartments in 1997,” Voshell said.

Twenty-four additional apartments were added in 1997 but that was just the beginning new growth and opportunities that were coming to Park Centre. In the following years, the facility grew to its current size of 98 total apartments including eight townhomes, one guest suite, 16 assisted living apartments and 66 beds in health center. The health center also houses the 18-bed state-of-theart Alzheimer’s Unit.

“It does stay full. With Park Centre’s history and our reputation to serve older adults, people have moved here from New Jersey, Florida, all of Jasper County and even some of the surrounding counties,” Voshell said. “I think the main reason it stays full is because of the residents.

They are very involved and are a part of the all of the committees we have here. We really wanted the residents input on what

they want and need and then we make it happen.”

Gerald and Dorothy Carpenter have lived at Park Centre for the past three years. Born and raised in Newton, Gerald Carpenter moved away before returning to his hometown with his wife to live at Park Centre.

“We did research and looked at some places in Florida, where we were living at the time and we looked in Illinois, we have two children in Illinois. For overall scope of choosing a place, Park Centre had the best to offer. We think we made the correct choice,” Gerald Carpenter said.

The Carpenters, along with their fellow residents, family, friends and community members will come together to celebrate 25 years of Park Centre in Newton during an open house from 2 to 4 p.m.

Proud of mom

he city of Montezuma has always had a large presence in my life. I have never lived there, however, it feels like a second home. It’s where my mom grew up; and my grandma, uncles, cousins and more still live there.

Last year, the Montezuma Community School District started an Athletic Hall of Fame to honor athletes and coaches who have had a positive impact on the school’s history. My grandfather was inducted with the members of his 1948 football team, who went 8-0 that season, and won by an average of 46 points per game. My grandma stood in his place to receive his recognition.

Also that year, my mom’s state champion basketball teams from 1969 and 1970 were inducted into the hall of fame. Both teams were undefeated 31-0 and 30-0, respectively. I have actually watched the championship games on YouTube and saw 6-on-6 basketball in

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers action. My mom attended the ceremony to stand with her former teammates.

For one reason or another, I was unable to attend last year’s ceremony. It was new, and I don’t think anyone really knew what to expect. Mom was excited to tell me all about it after it concluded.

I could tell she was a proud Montezuma Bravette.

When the 2017 hall of fame class was announced, it included more family members. My uncle, Mike Mitchell, and his sister, Joellen Mitchell, were inducted for their accomplishments. Uncle Mitch was a gifted athlete. There’s just no other way to describe it. He was already inducted to the William Penn Hall of Fame. He played nose guard for the Statesmen, earning Iowa Conference MVP in 1976. He was All-American his senior year and signed with the Redskins following graduation. As a Montezuma

Brave, he was a three-sport letterwinner.

He was known for his toughness on the gridiron, but also left a mark playing basketball and running track. He set the 110 high hurdle record of 15.1, which stood for 33 years.

His sister, Jo, had her own list of accomplishments in track and softball. As a thrower myself, I was eager to hear about Jo’s success at the state meet. She threw a then record of 44 feet 6 inches for a 1975 state shot put title. The next closest throw was 29 feet. That’s how good she was. It was clear both Mitchell’s left their mark on Montezuma history.

The class of 2017 included another of my mom’s basketball teams — the 1971 state tournament team. They were 281. Even with that one loss, they were still very deserving of their place in the hall of fame. You see, that one loss was in the quarter finals of the state tournament.

Mediapolis edged the Bravettes 104-103 in double overtime to win. The loss ended an 89 game winning streak, which began in the ‘69 season. Every time they took the court that season the pressure of maintaining the streak and not losing

went with them. Even though the loss must have hurt, no one hung their heads in defeat. All of the Montezuma athletes came out of the locker room, heads high, to a standing ovation by the Veterans Memorial Arena crowd.

I wasn’t missing this year’s ceremony. Most have heard the phrase “proud mom moment.” It is usually assigned when a child does something well, either as a toddler taking his or her first steps or a young adult graduating college with honors. Things that would make any mom proud. I’d like to amend that saying for a bit. I had a “proud of mom” moment last week at the hall of fame ceremony. I was filled with so much pride as I saw my mom with her former teammates as they read all they accomplished together. It wasn’t the first time I’d been proud of mom, and it certainly won’t be the last.

Congratulations to all of the Montezuma Hall of Fame inductees. It was an honor to hear about what you did and see you recognized for it still.

Empty Nest Curt Swarm

Body tuning table I met Michael Childress at an Art-in-the-Park in Ft. Madison. His display was set up across from mine with a group of artists called Artist Trax Studio. We were both displaying metal art, however, mine was the rusty-junk kind, his was shiny, brushed aluminum.

His largest piece didn’t look like art to me. It looked more like a bed, a bed made of brushed aluminum. Art is in the eyes of the beholder. I noticed he invited passersby to lie down on the bed, then he would get under the bed and perform some type of massage, a musical, vibrating massage. My curiosity was aroused.

I sidled over for a closer look. Michael is quite friendly and articulate. He invited me to lie down on his Body Tuning Table for a massage. What the heck? There was a pain right between my shoulder blades from all the lifting of my heavy sculptures. Actually, there is some degree of pain in my back most of the time, and I’m a great user/abuser of ibuprofen. Michael got under the bed and began twanging on four piano strings he has stretched on the underside of the bed. A musical vibration came up through the structure and through my body. It seemed to focus on the tight muscles between my shoulder blades. He twanged a long, low note that trilled off into a sharp trill. The pain in my back followed the vibrating note up and out of my body. I looked up into the leaves of a tree which the bed was under. I was so relaxed that I dozed off into a heavenly, peaceful trance.

Michael offered his strong, masseur arm to aid me in sitting up. The pain between my shoulder blades was gone. It is still absent today, over a week after his “body tuning.”

I had to know more. Michael Childress invented and built this Body Tuning Table. He is a welder at a local manufacturing facility in Ft. Madison, a former massage therapist, and a member of a band. He knows how music and vibration/massage can work together to change moods and alter the physical body. Every human body has a frequency that can vary depending on circumstances. He finds that frequency, plays to it and massages it.

He came up with the idea of combining vibrating musical tones with massage after his massage table broke down and he had to repair it. Voila! The Body Tuning Table. He has applied for a patent for his invention and is looking for an investor to help him get started in manufacturing these Body Tuning Tables.

Actually, as with most inventors, he has many ideas for inventions swirling in his head. I’m going to go out on a limb here and put him in the category of American inventors such as Edison, Ford, and the Wright brothers.

I have read biographies of these famous inventors and there are a lot of similarities. Like Edison, Childress has an unquenchable thirst for discovery and knowledge. Ford built his first internal combustion engine in his and his wife’s kitchen. The Wright brothers were bicycle mechanics. The Wright brothers’ father was a Bishop of the Church of the United Brethren in Christ. Childress’ father was a Bishop of the Pentecostal Church and also an inventor. Ford and Childress hail from Michigan, a veritable hotbed for inventors.

Like Edison, Ford and the Wright brothers, Childress is self-taught.

Who knows where Michael Childress and his Body Tuning Table will be a year from now or twenty years from now? He sees applications for his device in relieving the symptoms of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease, help in dealing with mental illness, depression, and schizophrenia. If you can change the mood of a person, help them to feel better, relieve stress and pain, whether it be a knee or the mind, you have given them a gift. Childress’ goal is to help people.

Right on, Michael Childress. You are limitless within your limits.

Why CCI Action endorsed Cathy Glasson Our vision for changing “business as usual” politics starts and stops with people.

That’s why the Iowa Citizens for Community Improvement Action Fund challenges big-money interests and brings real people — lots of them — into the center of our political system.

That’s how we’ll win an Iowa that puts clean water first and serves the public interest, the common good. And that’s how we’ll make sure Iowans get paid a living

Players should respect the flag Kudos to Sherman Swank in Thursday’s editorial “Boycott the NFL.” While I agree with the football players, I feel strongly they could have used another method of protest.

To disrespect our country and our precious flag is not the proper way to do it.

What is this saying to all the foreign countries who keep a watchful eye on happenings in the USA? Now that they have made their point, let them now stand tall and go on to play football, which we love to watch.

Surely God is watching over this and he always wins.

AMENDMENT

She also shares our understanding that no single candidate will solve the problems facing everyday people. We need a grassroots movement of Iowans all over the state standing up, speaking out and being active in our communities- and in the streets — 365 days a year, not just at election time.

That’s how we’ll create the change we need.

Nobody’s going to move that agenda for us. It’s up to us to engage and deliver.

We’re happy to announce we’ve found a gubernatorial candidate who agrees with us and that’s Cathy Glasson, a longtime registered nurse and union leader from Coralville.

Cathy has bold positions on issues like clean water, healthcare for all, Fight for $15 and more.

She knows elections are an opportunity to build the people-power base we need to move our issues and win policies that make life better for a lot more people.

MidAmerican Energy to repower older wind turbines in Iowa DES MOINES — MidAmerican Energy Company is set to upgrade hundreds of its older wind turbines, bringing additional wind energy and cost savings to Iowa customers. The equipment upgrades will move MidAmerican Energy closer to its vision of providing renewable energy equal to 100 percent of its customers’ annual energy use.

MidAmerican Energy recently received approval from the Iowa Utilities Board for a plan that will allow the company to repower a portion of its older wind fleet to make the turbines more efficient and productive. The outcome is good for MidAmerican Energy’s customers and for Iowa.

Under the plan, many of MidAmerican Energy’s older General Electric wind turbines will be retrofitted with newer, more efficient components, including longer blades, to extend the life of the turbines. These changes will increase the amount of clean, safe, affordable and reliable energy serving Iowa customers.

“We’re excited to take this next

step in our journey toward our 100% Renewable Energy Vision,” Bill Fehrman, president and CEO of MidAmerican Energy said.

“Repowering our older wind turbines brings us closer to achieving that vision in a way that provides both economic and environmental benefits to our customers and the state of Iowa. In 2021 when both our repowering and Wind XI projects are complete, we expect to generate renewable energy equal to 95% of our Iowa retail customers’ annual use.”

Because energy generated from wind has no fuel costs, the repowering project will reduce the costs associated with generating electricity from other sources, which helps keep energy costs low and stable for MidAmerican Energy’s Iowa customers. With the extended life of the wind turbines, landowners at the repowering sites will continue to receive lease payments for a longer period and counties will receive tax revenue for an extended period.

MidAmerican Energy has entered into definitive agreements

with GE to complete the upgrades.

“We are delighted to work with MidAmerican Energy to repower their turbines,” Pete McCabe, president and CEO, Onshore Wind, GE Renewable Energy said. “Repowering is an affordable way to increase the efficiency and output of turbines, improving reliability and extending the life of the turbines through the evolution of and advancements in technology.”

Beginning in 2017, wind turbines will be repowered at the Century wind farm in Wright and Hamilton counties, the Victory wind farm in Crawford and Carroll counties, and the Intrepid wind farm in Buena Vista and Sac counties. Additional work sites and schedules will be announced at a later date.

As with the $3.6 billion, 2,000-megawatt Wind XI project announced in 2016, MidAmerican Energy is not asking for an increase in customer rates or for financial assistance from the state to pay for repowering.

Boys who are being boys cause married woman angst DEAR ABBY: I’m a happily married woman in my 30s. Although we don’t have children yet, many of our friends do. Some of them have boys who are approaching or are already in their early teens.

I’m embarrassed to even ask, but what are the best ways to avoid or immediately stop unwanted just-reaching-puberty attention from young boys? I am modest in my attire, I don’t interact more than I need to with them and I would never want to harm a child. But the looks and actions I get from some of them have my stomach churning. I need to know how to appropriately shut it down.

My husband just chuckles and shrugs his shoulders, saying, “They just want to talk to girls.” I feel sick.

Please help. — UNWANTED ATTENTION DEAR UNWANTED ATTENTION: Unless you have left something out of your letter, what the boys are doing is normal adolescent boy behavior. However, because you feel some of them have crossed the line, you should tell their parents.

DEAR ABBY: My sister-in-law visits from out of state each year and stays with us for about a week. When she’s here she invites her friends to our house and entertains them without asking us if we mind. I feel it’s extremely rude, but my husband says we need to “put up and shut up” because she’s family. I feel she could easily go to their homes to visit instead of inviting everyone here.

Is my husband correct? Am I wrong thinking she’s being inappropriate as a houseguest? — CONFUSED HOST IN THE EAST DEAR CONFUSED: As your houseguest, your sister-in-law should have been asking you and your husband whether you minded having her friends over during her visit. She

should also have bought food and beverages to accommodate them, and a house gift for the two of you. However, because she has been getting away with it for years, do not expect her to change. The time to have spoken up was the first time she did it.

DEAR ABBY: I’m 22 and I’m sick and tired of letting myself get caught up with men who are already in a relationship, “halfway” single, or claim to just occupy the same house as their ex. I know some people may say I don’t know what a real relationship is, or I should be enjoying my 20s instead of worrying about a serious relationship, but I have an old soul. I know I’m different from most people my age.

Could I be attracting the wrong men, or could it be my preferences in men? How can I go about attracting the right young man who wants the same things I do and isn’t already tied to someone? — WANTS MY OWN MAN DEAR WANTS YOUR OWN MAN: Where are you meeting the men you mentioned in your letter? If it’s happening in bars and clubs, it’s time to change venues. As my dear departed grandfather used to say, “You won’t catch trout in a herring barrel.”

SPENCER — Alliant Energy has announced plans to build a 300-megawatt wind farm in northwest Iowa.

The project will cover about 30,000 acres in neighboring Clay and Dickinson counties. Officials say the 121 turbines planned for the project should produce enough power for 130,000 homes. Alliant estimates the project will provide more than $40 million in local tax benefits over its lifetime and provide $45 million in landowner payments over the next 25 years.

Vegas shooting renews debate on high-capacity ammo magazines IOWA CITY (AP) — The rapid-fire shooting that killed or injured hundreds of concertgoers in Las Vegas has highlighted the easy availability of ammunition magazines that allow shooters to fire dozens of shots without having to reload.

Gun-control advocates say magazines that can store and feed 30, 50 or even 100 bullets into firearms increase the potential carnage of an attack.

It’s believed that millions of such accessories are legally owned in the U.S. — prized by gun enthusiasts for recreational shooting and self-defense.

The U.S. Supreme Court is considering whether to take a case that revolves around the issue and asks if the Second Amendment gives people a right to possess the high-capacity ammunition magazines.

So far, eight states have passed laws restricting magazine capacity to 10 or 15 bullets.

Magazines that hold 15 or 30 rounds are often considered standard equipment for new semi-automatic pistols and rifles, and are sold separately for as little as $15. Some drum-style magazines can carry 50 or 100 rounds.

Police have said they recovered several high-capacity magazines and thousands of rounds of ammunition from the hotel room and home of Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock.

It’s unclear how many rounds those magazines could hold, but cellphone videos taken by concert-

AP Photo In file photo, a custom-made semi-automatic hunting rifle with a high-capacity detachable magazine is displayed at a gun store in Rocklin, Calif. Such magazines enable a shooter to fire to fire 30, 50 or even 100 bullets before having to reload. They have been used in previous mass shooting and are under scrutiny again after the Sunday.

goers recorded bursts of gunfire so rapid and sustained that it sounded like a battlefield.

Authorities say Paddock opened fire Sunday from broken out windows of his 32nd floor hotel room, killing 59 people and wounding hundreds more at an outdoor country music festival.

Police stormed his room and found he had killed himself after committing the deadliest shooting in modern U.S. history.

Louis Klarevas, author of “Rampage Nation: Securing America from Mass Shootings,” said it was likely Paddock was using some form of a high-capacity magazine because he fired so many rounds in a short period of time.

“That was non-stop rapid fire,” he said.

Nevada is one of 42 states — along with the federal government — that does not restrict the sale or possession of high-capacity magazines.

The federal assault weapons ban of 1994 outlawed the manufacture of magazines that held more than 10 rounds, but Congress allowed the law to expire a decade later.

Klarevas said his research shows the use of high-capacity magazines has become more common since then in mass shootings. The magazines were used by gunmen who killed elementary school children in Connecticut and moviegoers in Colorado, among others.

Klarevas favors a federal ban on magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.

California moved toward such a law last year after voters approved an initiative prohibiting people from possessing ammunition magazines capable of holding more than 10 bullets.

However, the law was blocked in June by U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez, who warned

that it would turn law-abiding citizens into criminals if they didn’t give up their high-capacity magazines. He intends to issue a final ruling later but believes the law will likely be declared unconstitutional.

Meanwhile, a coalition of gun rights advocates wants the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn a Maryland law restricting magazines that hold more than 10 bullets. A divided 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the law.

The appeals court held that such magazines are most suitable for military and law enforcement purposes and are not protected by the Second Amendment. The court noted that Adam Lanza, who gunned down 20 firstgrade students and six educators in Newtown, Connecticut, in 2012, was able to fire more than 150 rounds in less than five minutes.

Ex-hospital worker faces federal trial on painkiller thefts DES MOINES (AP) — A former Des Moines hospital pharmacy worker accused of stealing painkillers from hundreds of patients has been arraigned on federal charges.

The U.S. Attorney’s Office in Des Moines says Victor Van Cleave was in court Wednesday, charged with to face two criminal counts: tampering with consumer products and obtaining fentanyl by misrepresentation, fraud, deception and subterfuge.

Officials say Van Cleave was a pharmacy technician at Iowa Methodist Medical Center who used a syringe to steal fentanyl and other powerful painkillers from vials, then replaced them with sterile water. Many of the painkillers were to be used for patients undergoing surgery or giving birth.

Van Cleave could face up to 14 years in prison if convicted. His trial is set for Dec. 4.

Vegas victims died with family, friends at side LAS VEGAS (AP) Some died with family, some with friends. Others were with “framily” — friends they considered family — when they were shot and killed.

All shared the terror caused by a gunman spraying bullets into a crowd of concertgoers from a highrise hotel in Las Vegas, ending a day of dancing and smiles with bloody horror.

MOTHER OF TWO FROM SMALL-TOWN IOWA Carly Kreibaum lived in tiny Sutherland with a population of fewer than 620 people. She went to bustling Las Vegas with friends.

Kreibaum’s sister-in-law confirmed her death but declined to comment further, saying the family wanted privacy.

Kreibaum, 33, attended the concert with two friends who said they got separated but saw Kreibaum get shot.

Kreibaum was a mother of two and a Sibley native who graduated from Sibley-Ocheyedan High School. She later attended Wayne State College in Wayne, Nebraska. The Sutherland Church of Christ has set up a bank account for donations to her husband and children.

‘FRAMILY’ GROUP MISSING A MEMBER Nicol Kimura, 38, went to the festival with a group of seven men and women who call themselves “framily” — friends who are like family. She was fatally shot seconds after the gunfire began, said Ryan Miller, a businessman and pastor who is part of the group.

A Southern California native who lived in Placentia, Kimura’s survivors include her parents, a sister and the friends who were with her when she died.

She was single and didn’t have children, but she was treated like family by the kids of group members, Miller said.

Area students selected for the National Council on Youth Leadership held at Drake University DES MOINES — More than 230 high school seniors from 24 area high schools were selected by their schools to attend the National Council on Youth Leadership’s 25th Annual Youth Salute on Sept. 1011 at Drake University.

Lexis Ewing and Mary Schabilion, both students at Baxter Community High School

were among those selected.

Over two days, participants heard from national and local speakers on student leadership in high school and beyond.

Jennie Baranczyk, head coach of the 2016-17 Missouri Valley Conference champion Drake Women’s Basketball team, delivered a keynote address titled “Leading

With Integrity.”

NCYL is dedicated to recognizing, encouraging and developing the leadership skills of youth. The mission of NCYL is to create public awareness of the importance and power of youth leadership, provide information to help build advanced leadership skills, and encourage community

involvement in recognition and support our youth. The Greater Des Moines chapter is facilitated by the Robert D. and Billie Ray Center at Drake University, which offers a variety of public awareness activities and programming, including CHARACTER COUNTS!, the most widely used character education program in

the nation.

Four participants were selected as Youth Leaders of the Year and will attend the national NCYL conference, Town Meeting on Tomorrow, in St. Louis in October. Those students were Caroline Halliwell of West Des Moines, a senior at Dowling Catholic High School; Adam Koch of Grimes, a senior

at Dallas Center-Grimes High School; Sreelekha Kundu of Des Moines, a senior at Theodore Roosevelt High School; and Anvay Pradhan of West Des Moines, a senior at West Des Moines Valley High School.

A full list of attendees, categorized by high school, is online at www. drake.edu/raycenter/ recognition/ncyl/.

DMACC, UI unveil new 3+1 nursing partnership Des Moines Area Community College and the University of Iowa (UI) have entered into a new agreement to allow DMACC Nursing graduates to seamlessly finish their Bachelors of Nursing Science degree from the University of Iowa in one year. The agreement is called “RN to BSN 3+1.”

Nursing students can stay at DMACC for three years and then complete their BSN degree in only one year through the University of Iowa’s online program. DMACC Nursing graduates who are working can also come back to DMACC, take an additional year and then transfer to the University of Iowa for their final year to complete their BSN. University of Iowa President Bruce Harreld and DMACC President Rob Denson signed the agreement at the Iowa Higher Education Center, located on Fleur Drive in Des Moines.

“At the University of Iowa, our highest priority is to provide an affordable and accessible education for the citizens of our state,” said UI President Bruce Harreld. “This articula-

tion agreement between the UI College of Nursing and DMACC is a model for the ways in which public higher education institutions in our state can work together to provide the best opportunities possible for Iowans.”

DMACC Nursing students who have at least a 3.0 grade point average (G.P.A.), have successfully completed their DMACC nursing requirements and are on the BSN nursing track will automatically be accepted into the University of Iowa’s BSN program, where they can complete their final year of studies. Others can be admitted based on their application.

Because the UI classwork is online, the agreement allows DMACC graduates to work in central Iowa while studying for their University of Iowa degree.

“This is the latest of example of DMACC’s commitment

to preparing students who want to continue their education,” said Denson. “DMACC students are strong performers at universities and this agreement allows DMACC graduates to seamlessly continue their education in a career where the BSN is becoming the norm for nurses,” he added.

Currently, 21 percent of DMACC Nursing graduates plan to continue their studies in Iowa’s RN to BSN 3+1 program, and it’s anticipated this percent will continue to grow.

“The University of Iowa’s Nursing program, has excellent outcomes and produces highly educated nurses able to advance the profession of nursing in Iowa and national-

ly,” said Kendra Ericson, MSN, RN, DMACC’s Director of Nursing. “Iowa’s RN to BSN 3+1 program is an excellent fit for DMACC graduates looking for a high-quality online program that allows them to work and continue their nursing education. This agreement demonstrates the collaborative efforts between the University of Iowa and DMACC in meeting the state’s goal of 50 percent BSN prepared nurses in Iowa by 2020 and ensuring a highly skilled nursing workforce in Iowa.”

“The University of Iowa College of Nursing is excited to formalize this 3 + 1 agreement.

DMACC’s new curriculum will provide quality preparation for their students to continue their educational journey. The College will work to ensure that students completing their BSN will have opportunities for leadership experiences, expanded employment

options, and be well-prepared to advance their education,” said Dean Julie Zerwic, UI College of Nursing.

DMACC and University of Iowa Nursing graduates are in high demand in Iowa and across the nation, partly due to retirements and aging Baby Boomers, who need greater access to health care. More than one-fifth of Iowa’s nursing workforce is eligible to retire right now.

One of Iowa’s largest providers of health services, UnityPoint Health system, anticipates hiring between 500-700 nurses per year. The median wage for nurses is $26 an hour.

The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects 1.09 million registered nurse job openings nationally by 2024.

DMACC has increased the capacity of its nursing program to nearly 450 openings to better meet the growing demand for nurses in central Iowa. DMACC offers Nursing programs at its Ankeny, Boone, Carroll, Urban and Newton Campuses, and at the DMACC Capitol Complex in Des Moines.

Cardinals ready for district clash with Rams

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High head football coach Ed Ergenbright considers Southeast Polk as one of the top four Class 4A teams in the state as state championship caliber. Ergen- Pregame bright said he knows Outlook his Newton High Cardinals have a challenge before them on Friday in Pleasant Hill.

“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 following Newton’s 71-70 win over Fort Dodge last Friday at home. “Southeast Polk is a very good team. They are big up front on both sides of the football. They have a DI running back, a very good quarterback and a good group of skill players.

“Defensively, they are physical and active. Last year the really manhandled us. With all that said, our guys are not shying away from taking on this challenge.”

Newton, is one of three undefeated teams in Class 4A, broke into The Associated Press Iowa high school football rankings this week at No. 10. The 10th-ranked Cardinals (6-0) play No. 11 Southeast Polk (3-3) at 7:30 p.m.

Friday at the Rams’ stadium in Pleasant Hill.

SEP is coming off a tough double overtime loss, 41-34, to third-ranked West Des Moines Valley (5-1) on Friday.

Newton and Valley are 2-0 in Class 4A District 4 play and Southeast Polk is 1-1.

Ergenbright said he has seen no “hangover” effect from the wild 71-70 district win his team pulled out against Fort Dodge during this week’s practices. He said the Cardinal players are focused on their next task at hand.

“We have a lot to be excit-

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Putting it all on the line will be the Newton High Cardinals on Friday as the 10th-ranked Cardinals go to No. 11 Southeast Polk in Class 4A District 4 play. Making plays defensively like senior Zach Combs does in bringing down Fort Dodge’s Dayson Clayton (21) in last week’s home game, is main focus for the Cardinals heading into their game with the SEP Rams.

ed about from that game, but we also have a lot — mainly defensively — to put behind us and move forward,” Ergenbright said. “To have a chance against Southeast Polk, we will try to do what we do best offensively, which is run the ball, and we have to play better defensively.”

Ergenbright said a lot of frustration on the part of coaches and players concerning the Cardinal defense comes from mistakes in alignments and techniques.

He said the Newton coaches asked themselves how they could make it better for the players on the field.

“We’ve looked at things and simplified things a bit for this week. If you don’t line up right and use the techniques you’ve been taught, good teams are going to make you pay,” Ergenbright said.

The Rams are a good team led by senior quarterback

Shane Starcevich (6-foot-1, 180 pounds) and sophomore running back Gavin Williams (6-foot, 195 pounds). SEP had the second-best passing offense in the district a n d third in rushing.

Starcevich is 95-of-164 passing for 1,317 yards with seven touchdowns and five interceptions. He also has rushed for seven TDs, going 473 yards on 76 carries. Williams has piled up 380 yards on 94 carries with eight TDs on the ground, and has caught 14 passes for 302 yards with one touchdown.

Starcevich also finds senior Nathaniel Flynn and junior Dylan Travis in the passing game. Flynn has 29 catches for 454 yards and Travis has 16 receptions for 183 yards and two TDs. “If you stop their run game, their quarterback can run and is an accurate passer. They present defenses with a lot to

take in and stop,” Ergenbright said. “We are addressing our shortcomings on defense and working to improve. We need to create turnovers.”

Newton leads 4A District 4 with six interceptions — two run back for touchdowns. The Cardinals have five fumble recoveries this season. They did not have a takeaway against Fort Dodge a week ago.

Senior safety Zach Combs has racked up 30 unassisted tackles and 10 assisted tackles for the Cardinals’ defense.

Senior linebackers Grant Garvis and Blayden Rhone have 25 solos and 15 assists and 22 solos and 10 assisted tackles, respectively.

Five other Cardinal defenders have more than 10 total tackles apiece. The Cardinals have 10 quarterback sacks.

The Ram defense has nine players with double-digit totals in tackles. They are led by

seniors Luke Boord with 29 solo tackles and 20 assisted tackles, Mason Morgan with 23 solo stops and 19 assisted tackles and Al Durr with 23 solo tackles and 14 assisted tackles.

Newton is not only the topranked rushing team in Class 4A, but stands atop all classes for the season. The Cardinals have rolled up 2,595 yards on 313 carries. Colo-NESCO, an 8-man team, has 2,443 yards on 233 carries.

“We have to find ways to move the ball against Southeast Polk’s tough defense. They know our veer is what we start with and last year they made adjustments against us to stop it,” Ergenbright said. “We have added more to the offense this season to run at these teams.”

Newton’s offense is powered by the ground game led by senior quarterback Garrett Sturtz with 662 yards on 80 carries and senior inning back Jaron Roush with 656 yards on 51 carries. Both players have nine TDs. Junior Josh Miller has carried the ball 41 times for 442 yards and five touchdowns.

Senior Josh Miravalles had 72 carries for 441 yards and leads the team with 10 touchdowns.

Sturtz has thrown for 326 yards, going 19-of-37, with six TD passes. Senior split end Trevor Ergenbright has nine catches for 181 yards and two TDs. “Like I said Friday night, our players are going to give it a shot. We’re the underdog team in this game despite the records, we know that,” Ergenbright said. “These players said before the season they wanted to do something special — something great — to reach that goal, we have to win a game against a quality team like Southeast Polk.

We’ll show up Friday and see how it goes.”

Seventh-ranked Mustangs hope to finally be tested against EBF

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Prairie City-Monroe football coach Greg Bonnett knows the importance of being tested on the gridiron.

Getting “punched in the mouth” and then punching back can go a long ways in whether or not the Mustangs can reach their full potential.

Unfortunately for PCM, for the second straight season, opponents in Class 2A District 6 haven’t provided much

Area Prep Football Game Previews resistance. Bonnett hopes that changes this week against Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont.

“It would be nice to have games that went the distance,” Bonnett said. “I am concerned about it. There are going to be teams that we face that they’ve played all four quarters, or three at least, in each game.

Since the Pella Christian game, our starters have only played seven halves. We just

Twins give hope to all last-place teams

A

s I watched the Minnesota Twins play in the American League wild card game against the New York Yankees on Tuesday night, I couldn’t help but have a little hope.

My team, the Cincinnati Reds, has not been good the past four years.

They went 68-94 in back-to-back years before winning 64 games in 2015 and 76 games in 2014.

But I have hope.

The Twins were 59-103 last season.

They turned things around in 2017, winning the second wild card spot with an 85-77 record.

Minnesota unsuccessfully tried to lose as it was a seller at the trade deadline. The Twins have lots of young pieces and were likely thinking about 2018 and beyond. The future ended up

have to find a way to overcome that because like it or not, that might be the situation that we are in.”

PCM’s starters have not played a full game since the 24-22 Week 1 loss to the Class 1A No. 3 Eagles. The 2A No. 7 Mustangs (5-1 overall, 4-0 in district play) have outscored district opponents 232-40 this season.

PCM held a 371-22 advan-

This & That Troy Hyde being the now though. Good for them.

They give a guy like me hope. Five years ago, the Reds were in these wildcard games, losing to the Pittsburgh Pirates. The year before that, they won 97 games and won the National League Central Division. That team had a 2-0 lead on the San Francisco Giants before blowing it with three straight losses.

The Giants won the World Series that year. It’s been a downward spiral for the Reds ever since. They were forced to trade standouts Johnny Cueto, Todd Frazier, Jay Bruce, Mike Leake, Aroldis Chapman and Brandon Phillips.

They got some top prospects in return. Some have panned out and appear to be primed for big years to come.

I haven’t been into baseball as much recently because the Reds have been so bad, but the Twins improving their

tage last season and have won 12 straight district games dating back to the final regular season game in 2015.

win total by 26 games from last year to this year gives me reason to think the Reds can get back to winning soon.

The Cubs and Royals did the same thing in recent years.

Neither team was very good just like the Reds but, with young prospects and smart GM decisions, turned things around to win a World Series.

The Cubs won no more than 75 games from 2010-2014. In 2015, the youngsters broke through to win 97.

They turned that into 103 wins and a title in 2016.

The Royals had two seasons of greatness where they reached the World Series both times, winning it all the year before the Cubs in 2015.

I like the Reds’ offense. They have one of the best players in the game in Joey Votto, who should be in the top three for NL MVP this season despite playing on a last-place team.

Eugenio Suarez and Zack Cozart both had breakout seasons. And the team had six players hit 24 or more home runs.

Scott Schebler and Jesse Winker are two young guys who showed promise

“Just because you are playing a team that hasn’t had a lot of success, that doesn’t mean you can play down to their level. You are still expected to execute on every play,” Bonnett said. “If that means you score 40 or 50 points in the first half, then that’s what that means. Then we put the backups in and go from there.

That’s what we focus on, and that’s why we haven’t had any letdowns.”

GAMES | 2B

throughout the season. Adam Duvall helps provide the middle of the lineup with a lot of punch. And then Billy Hamilton stole 59 bases at the top of the lineup.

The issue is pitching. The Reds were last in baseball with a 5.14 earned run average and allowed 248 home runs.

They used 16 starters, several of which were rookies, to find out what they had for future years.

If the pitching doesn’t improve the Reds have no shot. If they can get some kind of consistency, it’s entirely possible that they can flip their script.

The Cardinals and Pirates appear to be fading. The Brewers are like the Reds in that they have a lot of young talent. The Cubs still have loads of talent but their window won’t be open forever.

The 2018 season may be another tough one to watch. But there’s hope that the youthful Reds can be competitive again.

I hope so. I am ready to invest some serious time into October baseball.

Arizona wins NL wild-card game PHOENIX (AP) — Relief pitcher Archie Bradley hit a stunning triple in the seventh inning, driving in two runs with one of four three-baggers

by Arizona that sent the Diamondbacks past the Colorado Rockies 11-8 in the National League wild-card game Wednesday night.

Paul Goldschmidt launched an early threerun homer and the Diamondbacks built a 6-0 lead before ace Zack Greinke faltered. Colorado climbed back into it and cut it to 8-7 when Nolan Arenado and Trevor Story hit back-to-back homers in the eighth off Bradley.

Arizona moves on to a best-of-five Division Series against the NL West champion Dodgers.

Games Continued from Page 1B EBF (3-4, 2-2) comes into the game with an offense averaging only 19 points per game, but the Rocket defense is holding opponents to 17 points per contest.

They have lost their last two games to Albia (8-7) and Central Lee (16-14) by a total of three points.

“Offensively, they’ll do anything from two back to five wide,” Bonnett said. “The quarterback is a really good football player. They want to throw it if they can and run option.

Defensively, they have two down linemen, two stand up rush ends and they move the linebackers all over the place and blitz. It’s like a 4-3 that flexes out to a 4-1 against a spread team.”

The Rocket quarterback is junior Trey Moore. He comes into the game with 921 passing yards, which ranks 15th in Class 2A. He’s gained 478 yards on the ground and scored six touchdowns. Moore has thrown eight touchdown passes and eight interceptions.

Moore’s favorite target is junior Wyatt Klynn, who has 26 catches for 436 yards and six TDs on the season. Junior Ryan Adams leads the Rocket defense with 65 tackles, which ranks fifth in 2A, and three sacks.

Friday night will be PCM’s homecoming game and the final home game of the season.

“There can be distractions, but their job is to play well in the football game,” Bonnett said. “There are little kids that look up to our guys, and they’ll be in front of more kids than they have ever been in front of before. We need to make sure we don’t disappoint them. They need to be great role models because those young kids worship the ground that our players’ walk on.”

PCM’s offense is averaging 50.8 points per game this season and 58 points per game in district play.

Junior Reed Worth enters Friday night’s game with 1,095 passing yards, which ranks ninth in 2A. His 17 touchdown passes sits tied for third, and Worth has the fewest passing attempts and best yards per completion of the eight players ahead of him in passing yards.

Junior Wes Cummings has a team-high 544 rushing yards and six touchdowns. Junior Preston Van Wyk has 427 receiving yards and seven TDs to lead the receivers.

Worth has thrown a TD to seven different players and four Mustangs have at least nine catches.

The Mustang defense is surrendering nearly 13 points per game this year but that number drops to 10 points per game in district play. Most of those points in district games have come against backups in the second half.

The defense is led by juniors Cole Dustin and Jarron Trausch. Dustin and Trausch each have 21 tackles, Dustin has eight tackles for loss and Trausch has five tackles for loss. The Mustang defense has four picks and nine fumble recoveries.

PCM has won five straight games, including Montezuma’s Week 2 forfeit. Friday’s game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. in Monroe.

WACO (3-4) at Baxter (5-1), 7 p.m.

Since losing in Week 2 to second-ranked Remsen-St. Mary’s, the 10th-ranked Baxter Bolts have been on a roll.

Baxter is averaging 59 points per game this season and its 2,644 total yards ranks seventh in 8-man.

Baxter’s prolific passing attack is closing in on some allstate 8-man records.

Senior Travis Lindemoen is six touchdowns and 300 receiving yards away from the all-time record. He easily leads the class with 1,097 yards and 20 TDs. Lindemoen has nine more touchdowns than the next best receiver and nearly 400 more yards. His 45 catches currently ranks second in 8-man.

The Bolts quarterback, senior Braydon Aker, leads the entire state with 40 total touchdowns. He’s tops in 8-man with 1,733 passing yards and 30 touchdowns, and he also has nearly 400 rushing yards and 10 scores. His three picks were thrown in Baxter’s Week 2 loss.

The Bolts lost all-state linemen Will Clapper to an injury early in that loss.

Clapper has since returned to the field as has senior lineman Bryce Bacon.

The offense also features senior tailback Devin Carson, who has 278 rushing yards, 222 receiving yards and 10 total touchdowns, and sophomore wideout Cole Damman, who has 27 catches for 304 yards and six scores.

Carson also has 49 tackles and two interceptions for a Baxter defense that is allowing 49 points per game. Senior Marcus Mitchell has a team-high 50 tackles and two fumble recoveries.

WACO will bring a more balanced offense to Baxter for the Bolts’ homecoming game this week. The Warriors have thrown for 1,117 yards and rushed for 1,383. They are averaging 44 points per game and surrendering 44 points per contest. WACO has allowed at least 60 points in its four losses.

The Warriors’ best player is Colton Horak. Horak leads the team with 433 rushing yards, has returned a kickoff and a punt for a touchdown, leads the defense with 42 1/2 tackles and three picks and is the team’s kicker. Horak’s 22 touchbacks ranks seventh in 8-man.

Two other WACO players have rushed for at least 298 yards. Cody Crawford has 35 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and two sacks for the defense.

Baxter and WACO have three common opponents. Baxter went 3-0 against English Valleys (62-40), Lone Tree (6225) and Midland (70-66). WACO defeated English Valleys 57-0 but lost 62-36 to Lone Tree and 66-33 to Midland.

Lynnville-Sully (6-0, 4-0) at New London (5-0, 3-0), 7 p.m.

The Class A No. 6 Hawks handed Pekin its first loss of the season and knocked the Panthers out of the Associated Press rankings last week at home. This week, they face another team in New London which has yet to lose in 2017.

A win by Lynnville-Sully would go a long way in winning the District 6 title. A New London victory would create a logjam at the top of the standings with the Tigers heading to Pekin the following week.

The Hawks have rushed for 1,466 yards and average 7.5 yards per carry. Three of

their primary ball carriers — senior Sage Zylstra and juniors Nate Stock and Gage Vander Leest — all have average more than nine yards per carry.

Lynnville-Sully averages 49 points per game and is allowing only 7.5 points.

The Hawks have two shutouts. The most points they have given up was the 17 Colfax-Mingo scored in Week 1.

New London averages 45 points per game and surrenders 10 points per contest.

Junior Isaac McSorley has thrown for 385 yards and rushed for 217 while scoring 11 touchdowns. Junior Keonte Luckett and senior Dallas Bell each have more than 650 rushing yards. Luckett has a punt return and kick return for a score and Bell returned a kickoff for a TD, too.

When McSorley throws it most likely will go to Mason Porter, who has 14 catches for 255 yards and four TDs. The Tigers also have two defensive scores.

GMG (0-6, 0-4) at Colfax-Mingo (3-4, 2-2), 7 p.m.

The Tigerhawks have a strong opportunity to pull their record to .500 on the season as they welcome winless GMG to Colfax-Mingo High School on Friday.

Colfax-Mingo has won two straight games to right its ship and next face a Wolverine squad which has scored only 21 points in six games.

GMG is allowing 48 points per game on defense and the fewest points it has allowed was 32 in the season opener. The Wolverines’ 420 rushing yards is the third fewest in Class A. Blaze Krull is the team’s best player.

He has 109 receiving yards on offense and leads the defense with 34 1/2 tackles and three interceptions. Kolton Gill is the starting quarterback, and he has thrown for 329 yards.

Gill has tossed 10 interceptions and faces a Colfax-Mingo defense that leads Class A with 15 picks. The Tigerhawks also are third in the class with 11 fumble recoveries.

Junior Zarek Hill’s six picks leads Class A and senior Alex Lewis ranks tied for third with three fumble recoveries. Senior Jake Dunsbergen’s 54 1/2 tackles ranks eighth in Class A. Sophomore Brady Berkey has four interceptions and senior Reegan Van Dyke has picked off three passes.

Offensively, the Tigerhawks have the top passing offense in Class A with 1,302 yards. Van Dyke is tops in the class with 1,278 passing yards along with 14 TDs and four picks and also has a team-high 313 rushing yards and four scores.

Hill and Lewis are two of the most productive receivers in Class A. Hill’s 27 catches ranks tied for third, his 436 yards ranks fourth and his six TDs ranks tied for third. Lewis’ 23 catches and 368 yards both rank eighth and his five TDs sits tied for sixth.

The Tigerhawks are averaging 44 points per game in their three wins and 12.2 points in the four losses. The four teams which defeated Colfax-Mingo — Saydel, Lynnville-Sully, Hudson and Belle Plaine — are currently a combined 21-3.

Fantasy Football Matchups

Is the Patriots’ defense ripe for the picking?

MATCHUPS TO EXPLOIT

FANTASY FORECAST | WEEK 5

Tampa Bay Bucs

QUARTERBACKS

(VS NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS) The Patriots have gone from a defense that shuts down the opposition’s top threat to allowing the most fantasy points to quarterbacks, second-most to running backs and fourth-most to wide receivers and tight ends. The biggest threat the Patriots currently pose to fantasy owners comes from sitting anyone (Cam Newton owners quietly nod). Tampa boasts diversity through the air, where Jameis Winston connected on scoring strikes with three different pass catchers — Mike Evans and TEs Cameron Brate and O.J. Howard — without an interception. Like Newton, Winston’s inconsistencies aren’t a concern here, nor is the “Thursday Night Football” factor — week’s highest point total — 55½) — is a half-point less than the average combined TNF total thus far.

MUST START: Jameis Winston, Mike Evans SOLID PLAY: DeSean Jackson, Cameron Brate WORTH A LOOK: Doug Martin, Jacquizz Rodgers

1. Tom Brady, Patriots at Buccaneers 2. Aaron Rodgers, Packers at Cowboys 3. Jameis Winston, Buccaneers vs. Patriots 4. Dak Prescott, Cowboys vs. Packers 5. Russell Wilson, Seahawks at Rams 6.

RUNNING BACKS Mike Evans each went over 100 in a 19-12 home win over the Chiefs in Week 2 last season… with Brock Osweiler at the controls.

MUST START: Deshaun Watson, DeAndre Hopkins, Lamar Miller SOLID PLAY: Will Fuller WORTH A LOOK: D’Onta Foreman, Bruce Ellington

Green Bay Packers

(AT DALLAS COWBOYS) After surrendering 35 points to the upstart Rams at “Jerry World,” Dallas — potentially without its most important non-QBs, Ezekiel Elliott and Sean Lee — welcomes a Packers offense that registered 34 points and 413 yards in January’s postseason thriller. Green Bay is well rested after pulling the curtains down on Mike Glennon’s Bears career last Thursday and has WR Jordy Nelson, who again leads the NFL in receiving touchdowns, after he missed the playoff game. Dallas’ formula of grinding the clock and defenses that catalyzed its 2016 breakthrough has dissipated (No. 23 in time of possession, up from No. 2 a season ago) … with Elliott.

Randall Cobb, one week after Rams’ slot Cooper Kupp broke out, Geronimo Allison and rookie Aaron Jones with Ty Montgomery ailing should join the fun of the Packs’ fantasy fixtures.

MUST START: Aaron Rodgers, Jordy Nelson, Randall Cobb SOLID PLAY: Geronimo Allison, Aaron Jones (first check status of Ty Montgomery), Martellus Bennett

New York Giants

(VS SAN DIEGO CHARGERS) New York’s season might be off the rails, but the Giants are coming on strong in fantasy, where Eli Manning suddenly has totaled three touchdowns in each of the past two weeks and is QB11 overall. The Chargers have allowed more passing touchdowns than every defense except Tennessee and Chicago.

Odell Beckham has another tough matchup after struggling vs. Brent Grimes and through a dislocated finger.

But rookie TE Evan Engram is becoming a strong secondary target for Manning, and fellow rookie Wayne Gallman even managed to breathe life into a ground game left for dead essentially since the Giants’ last Super Bowl.

MUST START: Odell Beckham* SOLID PLAY: Eli Manning, Evan Engram, Sterling Shepard WORTH A LOOK: Wayne Gallman, Brandon Marshall, Giants D/ST

MATCHUPS TO AVOID

Houston Texans

Oakland Raiders

(VS KANSAS CITY CHIEFS) If Kareem Hunt is this year’s Ezekiel Elliott, is Deshaun Watson 2017’s Dak Prescott?

Following his record-breaking five total touchdowns amid Houston’s best offensive performance in franchise history, the QB6 overall after just three starts gets a talented ‘D’ that nearly lost at home to Washington. The Chiefs allowed Kirk Cousins to rush for 32 of his career-high 38 yards on that final drive and have surrendered more yards on the ground to quarterbacks than all but one defense. Will Fuller made an unmistakable impact with two touchdowns and drawing a 45-yard pass interference flag in his 2017 debut, and gets Kansas City’s vulnerable CB2 matchup.

SADE

CRU

(VS BALTIMORE RAVENS) With Derek Carr expected to miss at least a couple weeks with a fracture in his back, the Raiders should at least be in better hands with EJ Manuel than they were with Matt McGloin and Connor Cook late last season. That’s hardly a ringing fantasy endorsement of a club that was struggling with a healthy Carr (total of 17 points and 12 first downs on last 26 series) and hosts a Ravens ‘D’ looking to get well after again getting run over at home by the Steelers. Baltimore’s pass ‘D’ has frustrated better receiving groups than Oakland’s current configuration with Michael Crabtree hurt and Amari Cooper mired in a drop-fueled tailspin — just ask Antonio Brown or that

Detroit Lions

(VS CAROLINA PANTHERS) The good news: Detroit overcame the shock of losing to the defending NFC champs in Week 3 on an overturned touchdown and 10-second runoff as time expired to earn a road upset in Minnesota. The bad news: the Lions might produce a 100-yard rusher — something Ameer Abdullah came four yards short of doing for the first time by a Detroit back in 56 games — before another wideout reaches the century mark. Detroit continues to win with its opportunistic ‘D’ and safe game plans on offense, a wonderful development for Jim Caldwell and tough one for fantasy owners. The Panthers made Tom Brady’s Patriots look ordinary for three-plus quarters in Foxboro on Sunday.

WORTH A LOOK: Matt Stafford, Golden Tate, Ameer Abdullah, Lions D/ST

Jacksonville Jaguars

(AT PITTSBURGH STEELERS) Leonard Fournette has been as advertised — and then some — for Jacksonville. So too for the most part has Blake Bortles. Fournette has found the end zone in all four games en route to RB4 overall. But the only time he’s failed to command more than 16 touches was in a blowout loss to Tennessee, and the Steelers at home are the week’s biggest favorites — 8 ½ points. Fournette obviously still belongs in lineups — just as he belongs on the field more than 57 percent in a timeshare with Chris Ivory.

But forget any other Jaguars in this one, with Marqise Lee and Allen Hurns coming off bad outings and Marcedes Lewis returning from his three-touchdown London aberration to semi-retirement.
