Heated discussion follows street safety request County supervisor wants warning on Kilduff corner

David Dolmage/Daily News U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley, R-IA, shakes hands with Newton Mayor Mike Hansen following a press conference to protest the EPA’s lowering of renewable fuel quotas at REG in Newton on Tuesday.

Grassley pledges support for Newton’s biofuel industry

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley was in Newton Tuesday to show support for biodiesel production in Iowa. An EPA proposal to roll back minimum volumes for biomass based diesel has producers in Iowa concerned, and Grassley pledged his support, promising to hold President Donald Trump to his campaign promise to support renewable energy in Iowa.

“A platform isn’t just something to run on, it’s something to stand on,” Grassley told the crowd at REG, Newton’s biomass-based diesel plant.

Promising to continue his fight for biodiesel and renewable energy, the Republican senator said he’s seen the value of Iowa’s biodiesel industry, and he

by Gates Corporation.

plans to keep fighting for it on the Senate floor. Lowering the minimum volume standard for 2018, which was established more than

a year ago, along with rolling back the 2019 numbers will hurt Iowa’s economy, Grassley said.

“This proposal is

harmful to Iowa soybean producers,” Grassley said.

Biofuels are big business in Iowa, and REG’s impact on Newton has been significant. Seventy million gallons of biodiesel produced in Iowa plants is delivered to 284 locations nationwide. In 2016, REG purchased 770 million pounds of feedstock from Iowa vendors, which it claims added $216 million to the state’s economy.

Sen. Chaz Allen, D-Newton, said he’s concerned about the impact the EPA’s proposal would have in Newton. Allen has reached across the aisle to work with Grassley on the issue because he believes that protecting and promoting the state’s renewable energy industry is a “bipartisan effort.”

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Jasper County Engineer Russ Stutt discusses the possible addition of a light at the Killduff corner on Highway T22S with the Jasper County Board of Supervisors on Tuesday.

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News For the 15th year, artists and art lovers will descend upon Newton to take in the Iowa Sculpture Festival and Fine Arts Festival. In a new location at the former Maytag Buildings 1 and 2 and in the adjacent courtyard, the festival aims to maintain its reputation for excellence and add a few new attractions.

Open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Saturday and Sunday, the festival boasts 2-D and 3-D art mediums created by artists from across the country.

“We have held the Iowa Sculpture and Fine Arts Festival in that vicinity before, and could not pass up the very special ambiance it holds, both indoors and outdoors,” festival president Linda Klepinger said.

At the location, weather permitting, a set of African drums will be placed in the courtyard area for youth participation from 11 a.m. to noon on Satur-

Jasper County Supervisor Doug Cupples made a plea during Tuesday’s regular board meeting to place a warning light at well-known corner in Killduff. Located on Highway T22S, the corner angles around the town near the city’s tee-ball field.

“I want to make it clear, on this Killduff corner thing, personally I would like to make an amendment that you take action and put that light out there so it is a pre-warning to that corner,” Cupples said.

Cupples proposed an amendment to Tuesday’s agenda to discuss the addition at the street corner, which resulted in asking Jasper County Engineer Russ Stutt to explore options for a solution. He said he spoke to Stutt prior to the meeting about placing a light at the corner while Stutt suggested putting it in a different location.

“I suggested the possibility of placing an advanced warning beacon either on the curve sign or the 35 mph speed limit sign,” Stutt said.

“I think the biggest factor in that area is speeding or people not paying attention. There are so many signs there already, I don’t know how people miss it.”

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Wednesday, Oct. 11, the 284th day of 2017. There are 81 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 11, 1942, the World War II Battle of Cape Esperance began in the Solomon Islands, resulting in an American victory over the Japanese.

On this date: In 1890, the Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in Washington, D.C. In 1910, Theodore Roosevelt became the first former U.S. president to fly in an airplane during a visit to St. Louis.

In 1968, Apollo 7, the first manned Apollo mission, was launched with astronauts Wally Schirra, Donn Fulton Eisele and R. Walter Cunningham aboard.

In 1979, Allan McLeod Cormack and Godfrey Newbold Hounsfield were named co-recipients of the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work in developing the CAT scan X-ray.

In 1984, Challenger astronaut Kathryn D. Sullivan became the first American woman to walk in space.

In 1987, the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt was unfurled for the first time on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.; the 7,000-pound quilt bore the names, personal effects and, in some cases, the ashes of victims of AIDS. In 2002, former President Jimmy Carter was named the recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize.

Ten years ago: The Bush administration reported that the federal budget deficit had fallen to $162.8 billion in the just-completed budget year, the lowest amount of red ink in five years. Cold medicines for babies and toddlers were pulled off shelves amid concerns about unintentional overdoses.

Five years ago: Vice President Joe Biden and Republican opponent Paul Ryan squared off in their only debate of the 2012 campaign; the two repeatedly interrupted each other as they sparred over topics including the economy, taxes and Medicare.

One year ago: President Barack Obama, in an op-ed on CNN’s website, sought to reinvigorate his six-year-old call for the U.S. to send humans to Mars by the 2030s.

That’s Odd Pumpkin spice air freshener cause of school evacuation BALTIMORE (AP) — An unusual smell prompted an evacuation and a hazardous materials response at a Baltimore high school. But after five people were taken to the hospital complaining of upset stomachs, fire officials discovered the source of the smell: a pumpkin spice air freshener.

Cristo Rey Jesuit High School was evacuated Thursday afternoon after students and teachers detected a strong smell on the third floor. Several people reported difficulty breathing.

from computer science to theater, immunology and photography.

The foundation has awarded the fellowships annually since 1981 to people who show “exceptional creativity in their work and the prospect for still more in the future.”

Previous winners include “Hamilton” playwright Lin-Manuel Miranda and author-journalist Ta-Nehisi Coates.

There is no application process. Instead, an anonymous pool of nominators brings potential fellows to the foundation’s attention.

Those selected learn they’ve been chosen shortly before the awards are announced.

For opera director and producer Yuval Sharon, the news that he had been selected was “an enormous shock and honor.”

When the foundation called, he assumed they were seeking a referral for someone else who’d been nominated.

“I’m totally amazed,” said Sharon, 37, the founder and artistic director of The Industry, a Los Angeles-based

production company that produces operas in nontraditional spaces and formats.

A 2015 production transported audience members and performers to various locations in Los Angeles via limousines, with singers and musicians performing along the way and at each stop.

His next work, an adaptation of the radio program “War of the Worlds” will utilize decommissioned World War II sirens to broadcast the performance occurring inside the theater onto the streets. The sounds of performers stationed outdoors — and likely the traffic and other street noise — will then be transmitted back into the concert hall.

Sharon said he comes across many people who don’t think opera is for them, but he hopes hearing about these kinds of “audacious experiments” will peak their interest.

Another fellow, Cristina Jiménez Moreta, is co-founder and executive director of United We Dream, a national network of groups led by immigrant youth.

Grassley said he’s been in constant contact with the president recently to remind him of his campaign promises and to let him know that he’s disappointed with the EPA’s proposed cuts. While the president has repeatedly promised to “protect” ethanol, many in Trump’s cabinet have ties to the oil industry, which views the Renewable Fuel

Standard as costly and burdensome. EPA administrator Scott Pruitt, who hails from the oil-rich state of Oklahoma is one of many tied to the oil industry. Grassley said he’s concerned with Pruitt’s proposal, and he’s made it clear to the president that Iowans won’t accept cuts in biodiesel.

“He’s [Pruitt] not following the president’s lead, we need to get him back on track” Grassley said. “It’s something we need to be concerned about, that’s why I wrote to the president, spoke on the Senate floor and why I called the president.”

“The reality is, the stop sign is the same as this.

For years that grandpa asked they put a stop sign there and then his grandson dies,” Cupples said.

“The last thing I want to do is be responsible for someone dying. It is a lot more important to me.”

Olson brought up the “human factor” in

senators are aware of the benefits they provide. Grassley, along with several other senators, plans to meet with Pruitt next week. Grassley demurred when asked if he’d consider asking the president to fire Pruitt if changes weren’t made to the proposal, insisting the goal is to “get Pruitt off his course.”

“He ought to be cognizant of what he’s doing to the industry and what he’s doing to the president’s reputation in Iowa,” Grassley said.

Grassley also promised to keep fighting to reinstate the federal biodiesel tax credit, which lapsed at the end of 2016, and reform the incentive to focus it strictly on domestically produced biodiesel. Biodiesel advocates

driving along with the possible county liability should a light be placed at the corner.

“I have been around for 38 years, there have had a couple of incidents the last couple years, but we have told a lot of people through this county, because of the expense it would cost this county, ‘no on these lights,’” Olson said. “If the light isn’t (functioning) there, you do now have the liability, once you put the light there, if it burns out.”

are pushing for a switch to a “producer’s” credit instead of a “blender’s” credit, which they claim will help support American producers instead of letting tax credits go overseas. Grassley’s bipartisan legislation, the American Renewable Fuel and Job Creation Act of 2017 (S. 944), would retroactively reinstate the credit beginning Jan. 1, 2017, and extend the incentive through Dec. 31, 2020. A House companion bill (H.R. 2383) mirrors Grassley’s legislation.

“A credit for domestic production will ensure we’re incentivizing the domestic industry, rather than subsidizing imported biodiesel,” he said. “We should not provide a U.S. taxpayer benefit to im-

“I think it is important that I have been here for seven years, and it hasn’t been the practice to just willy-nilly give instructions to the county engineer where to put signs and where not to,” Brock said. “There needs to be criteria, there is a method to the madness.”

College isn’t always it Y

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Oct. 11, 2017

So It Goes David Dolmage

ou don’t have to spend much time on the campaign trail to figure out the economy is a big deal to Iowans. Candidates love to talk about “putting the state to work” and “getting back to work” as they roam the state.

And for good reason. The state’s unemployment rate is 3.1 percent, considerably lower than the national average of 4.4 percent, according to data released by Bureau of Labor Statistics in April. As a result of Iowa’s low unemployment many positions across the state remain unfilled, and some industries are experiencing a critical shortage of skilled labor. During a recent campaign stop in Newton, John Norris, a Democratic candidate for governor, said he’s heard from countless employers across the state that they’re having trouble finding qualified candidates.

Maybe it’s because many of those positions are in the trades, or skilled labor positions, which have long been shunned

by Iowa’s high school students. For more than two decades we’ve heard a familiar mantra; go to college, and get a good job when you graduate.

College might not be the pathway to success that it once was however. In 2016, the average college student graduated with $37,172 in student loan debt, and studies have shown that more than half those students have no idea when, or even if they’ll be able to repay those loans. In an uncertain economy, there are options for students who are looking for an alternative to four years of college.

Changing attitudes about the trade industry will take time, but there’s plenty of evidence to suggest the winds are

starting to shift. Mike Rowe was in Des Moines last week to speak at a fundraiser, and the former “Dirty Jobs” host has been a passionate advocate for restoring skills-based learning. In a Facebook post, Rowe marvelled at the classes available at Des Moines’ Central Campus, many of which offer college credit. Iowa has more than 3,000 openings for skilled labor, and without these classes, Rowe said he thinks it’ll be impossible to fill those positions.

“Des Moines is literally closing the skills gap with a workable model that all cities should follow, that’s news or at least it should be,” Rowe wrote on Facebook.

Rowe’s right, and Iowa schools need to increase the profile of careers in the skilled labor industry and abandon the idea that a four-year college degree is an essential ingredient to success. In Newton, high school ag teacher James Horn is working hard to show students that pathway. This month, he’ll take six students from his FFA program to the national FFA convention in Indianapolis, Ind. where they’ll

be exposed to a variety of career options.

Talk to Horn for more than 5 minutes and you’ll quickly realize the FFA is about more than just farming. Students in Horn’s FFA classes are required to work on projects outside of the classroom, with an expectation they’ll be able to generate income. NHS Senior Logan Theis works at Park Centre in Newton, and after being exposed to welding classes at NHS, he’s planning on beginning an apprenticeship with the Local 33 plumbers and steamfitters union. Classes with Horn and other industrial technology teachers at NHS gave Theis the confidence to apply for the position.

“He teaches stuff that you’re going to use in real life, he prepares you,” Theis said in a recent interview.

Supporting students like Theis, and continuing to develop programs that will fill more good paying, blue collar jobs in the state is a goal that we should all work towards.

Main Street Salena Zito

All news is local There used to be 324 newspapers in the state of Pennsylvania.

Today, there are about 60, give or take a few.

The Pennsylvania Gazette is the first one on record not just in the colony of Pennsylvania but in all of the Crown’s colonies. Benjamin Franklin bought the paper with a partner in 1729, and he contributed to it, as well, mostly under aliases.

Among the many firsts, the plucky paper would print was the first political cartoon in America, “Join, or Die,” authored by Franklin. It also printed the then-treasonous texts of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, Thomas Paine’s “Common Sense” and the Federalist Papers.

It was bold. It was brash. It was opinionated. And it served its readers well.

Here in West Newton, only ghosts remain of its once “esteemed” Times-Sun; their first office along the railroad tracks carries only a faint trace of its existence on the side of the building.

When owner James Quigley Waters Jr. died in 1930 after running the paper for 34 years, local papers noted it widely. When it was forced to close that location nine years later, it was noted only by an ad in the Pittsburgh Press for the sale of the Times-Sun building and its presses.

Several decades later, the Times-Sun existed on Main Street as a weekly. All print ended in 2015, and all that is left now is a shuttered office on Main Street.

There rarely is a proper obituary for old newspapers, nothing to chronicle their coverage of town events: how the school board was caught in a corruption sting; how a local politician was caught taking cash in a bag; and how the town rallied when flood waters crested the banks of the Youghiogheny or when the train derailed.

It just dies.

Along with that death comes the death of the local reporter: the person who knows his or her community inside and out, a career that typically starts with the cops beat or the local school boards, the places where a reporter really gets to know the pulse of their hometown and their people. Who knows how the town ticks. Who knows where the bad guys are, both on the street and behind a podium.

Who knows fundamentally that all news and politics is local.

Good journalism is not glamorous. It’s not sexy. It means long hours; it often means no personal life; it means driving on rural roads where there are more deer than people or down alleys where the state of the bodies you see outlined with chalk behind yellow tape will haunt you forever.

As with everything in this country, automation and technology have erased many jobs for reporters. The digital age opened up a world where everyone could have a blog, and none of them had three layers of editors fact-checking them.

That does not mean they don’t still do this in New York or Washington. It’s just that these days they do it less in the rest of the country.

Newspapers are expensive and bleed money: The ability to make money left with the dawn of digital, and no one really figured out the secret sauce to help small towns support local news organizations.

It’s not merely all politics that are local; all news is local. And if there is no trust in that relationship, people go elsewhere ­— such as Facebook and Twitter, where they only consume “their” side of the news, not because they are unintelligent but because they don’t trust the national news organizations.

When those news reporters report on church attendance or gun ownership, neither side holds the same values. Who in D.C. or New York goes to a “Gun Bash”?

In the West Newtons of the country, plenty of people do.

There is no good answer here; heck, there isn’t any answer. But there is a peek into what has deepened our divide. And there is also a reminder that all societies need local journalists. They are the ones who keep power in check.

One of Newton’s best kept secrets There is a wonderful little gift shop in Newton that is not familiar to many. It has a great selection of gifts and the prices are phenomenal. Having owned and operated Nollen’s Balcony Gift Shop for many decades, I know a good gift shop when I see one.

This gift shop is nonprofit and is run by the Skiff Medical Center Auxiliary. The proceeds from the

Bowlful of Blues helps many ‘Get to Know Newton’ What makes people want to “Get to Know Newton?” Well, those of us involved with the landmark 25th Annual Bowlful of Blues Festival can report that, for one fantastic day on Sept. 3, it was the convergence of many volunteers and the estimated 1,000 local, state, regional and national attendees who enjoyed Maytag Park. Many year-long volunteers, including the Bowlful of Blues Planning Committee, the festival-day volunteers from all over Jasper County as well as Des Moines volunteers (compliments of Central Iowa Blues Society), many sponsors/advertisers/

shop are used to create scholarships for young people pursuing a career in the medical field as well as contributing to various needs for the hospital. Located in Skiff Medical Center in Newton the Skiff Medical Center Auxiliary Gift Shop is a good place to get started on that holiday gift list. The friendly staff comprised of auxiliary volunteers take great pride in the exceptional selection made all the better by the reasonable pricing.

Baby gifts and clothing, home

décor, jewelry, scarves, watches and purses as well as women’s fashion, there is even a fun assortment of Iowa Hawkeyes and Iowa Cyclones novelties available.

So, now the secret is out and you will want to check out the Skiff Medical Center Auxiliary Gift shop the next time you are in the mood to do some serious shopping. While you are there ask about becoming a Skiff Medical Center Auxiliary member.

in-kind donors, great local and statewide advertising and publicity support (a special shout-out to Danielle Rogers of the City of Newton) all helped to make this a hugely successful 25th Bowlful of Blues.

The work required to put together a festival of this scope is immense, but so is the joy derived from this enduring feature of the Newton landscape. Many young people approached members of our organization wondering how they can get involved. Many people reported they traveled from outside the county and will be back. Many Newtonians reported they didn’t know how great this event was until they finally decided to attend. The blues is surprisingly diverse and alluring, attracting lovers of all kinds of music. So, this is the enduring “festival that

could” — started by hard-working people of the area, and continuing with the ethic of being a hands-on working volunteer organization ever since. So, we invite you, no matter your age or status, to put your stamp on the 26th Bowlful of Blues. Change is in the wind as our president ends her term, making way for yet another era and vibrant chapter in Bowlful of Blues history. We’re not hard to find: Facebook — South Skunk Blues, or skunkblues@windstream.net or www.southskunkblues.org — With the help of new volunteers, young and old, we will keep making sure more people Get To Know Newton in 2018.

Racy texts from co-worker cause man’s wife concern

DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Ralph,” and I have been married for 30 years. He recently started receiving sexually oriented texts from a male co-worker I’ll call Mike. What Ralph once read aloud to me saying, “He’s such a goof. Listen to this!” has now become covert reading for him.

Ralph and I have no secrets. Our phones are accessible to each other, so sometimes if his phone is lying around, I’ll see things such as “Sitting on the deck with just a towel on the bits and pieces. Nice breeze!” with heart eye emojis. They are later deleted.

I have asked Ralph point-blank if he has feelings for Mike, which he denies. But he won’t ask him to stop, either. Ralph knows this worries me and has me questioning our relationship.

I’m tempted to contact Mike myself, but I’m not sure if that’s the best way to proceed. Thoughts? — BAFFLED IN ST. LOUIS DEAR BAFFLED: Your husband may not have feelings for this co-worker, but his co-worker appears to have some for him. Either way, Mike’s behavior is unusual. While I don’t think you should contact him, this is something you should revisit with your husband because you find it threatening.

DEAR ABBY: A man came to my home today to fix a tech problem and proceeded to hit on me. Abby, he was at least 10 years older than me (I’m 23), and it was so unprofessional. I was home alone, and being faced with that situation caused me to turn red. He then commented on my blushing, and I just sat there saying nothing.

I am berating myself for not speaking up, and I’m disgusted that he assumed I was blushing because I liked the attention when it was the opposite!

At the same time, I am fearful of a man reacting aggressively if I were to say something.

I was hoping you could tell me what to say or do in order to better handle

these situations in the future. I want to be more vocal; I just don’t know how to be. — BLUSHING IN TEXAS DEAR BLUSHING: Whether you were red with embarrassment or pale with anger is irrelevant. You should report him to his employer to make sure he will never come to your home again.

A way to protect yourself in the future might be to arrange to have someone else present under those circumstances. If someone behaves inappropriately during a service call to your home, you are within your rights to tell the person you want him to leave IMMEDIATELY, and that is what you should have done.

DEAR ABBY: I recently went to the movies with a couple of friends. At the concession stand, I bought popcorn. They did not. However, as we sat down, they eyed my popcorn as I was munching. I didn’t offer them any. I figured they could have bought their own if they wanted some. Should I have? It’s been bothering me ever since. Was I selfish? — MATINEE MUNCHER DEAR MUNCHER: The polite thing to do would have been to offer them some of your popcorn. As to whether not doing so was selfish, the answer is: “Mmmmhmmmm.” (I’d say it more clearly, but my mouth is full.)

Police find feces-covered toddler, 2 others home alone DES MOINES — Police say a Des Moines mother has been arrested after officers found her three young children alone outside their home, including one covered in feces and another with a full diaper.

A 4-year-old boy was left in charge Monday of his 2-year-old and 1-year-old siblings. He’d taken them outside after their stove made a frightening sound when he tried to make breakfast. County records say Destinee Miller remained jailed Tuesday on child endangerment charges.

SIOUX CITY — A Nebraska man has been sentenced to 10 years in an Iowa prison for the death of his uncle in a Sioux City crash. The sentence was handed down Tuesday to Jerell Wilson, of Omaha, Neb. A Woodbury County jury had found the 24-year-old guilty last month of vehicular homicide and other crimes.

Eastbound and down FFA students to attend national convention in Indianapolis

By Kayla Singletary Newton Daily News

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News Logan Chandler has been waiting for this trip for four years. This month the Newton High School senior will join teacher James Horn and five of her classmates on a trip to Indianapolis, Ind., for the national FFA convention.

An annual event, the FFA convention, held from Oct. 25 to 28, is the largest youth leadership gathering in the country, according to Horn. More than 60,000 high school students from across the country will participate in the event, which will feature guest speakers, concerts and a rodeo.

Students will also attend a Rascal Flatts concert and tour the John Deere plant during their trip.

“For the students, it’s a chance to go somewhere they’ve never been and see some things they’ve never seen, so they’re really excited,” Horn said.

Chandler couldn’t agree more. An active FFA member, she also works as a dog groomer, a job that she secured through Horn and the FFA program. Students in the program are required to work on projects outside of class time, which often take the form of part-time jobs in the agricultural industry. Working as a dog groomer has opened up new possibil-

ities for Chandler, who plans to study veterinary medicine in college, focusing on working with larger animals.

“I’ve always been a huge animal lover, and he’s pushed me to go forward,” Chandler said. “He teaches stuff that you’re going to need in real life.”

Newton students will also get a chance to see one of their own up on the big stage. Jacob Horn, a sophomore at Northwest Missouri State is a Newton graduate who’ll be receiving the American FFA Degree. The award is the highest honor that an FFA member can receive.

“We know him really well, and we’re really proud of him,” Chandler said.

Preparing students for a life beyond high school is part of what the FFA program is all about, Horn said. During the convention, students will have a chance to meet with representatives from agricultural colleges from

across the country, as well as representatives from agricultural employers looking to recruit students. Opening up their eyes to the opportunities that are available is Horn’s goal. Many of his students, like Logan Theis, will go to pursue a nontraditional career. Theis, a senior at NHS, and one of the students who’ll be making the FFA trip, plans to begin an apprenticeship as a plumber after graduating from high school.

Horn helped Theis find a job doing maintenance at Park Centre, and the experience has encouraged him to seek a career in the trade industry.

“He teaches a lot more than just ag, I’ve learned more life skills from him than anyone else,” Theis said. “After taking the welding class here it made me want to go to the interview day at the Local 33.”

Students will have plenty of bonding time during the six-hour drive

to Indianapolis, but that’s part of the fun both said.

They’ve also set a goal to meet at least one person from every state during the convention, which Horn said is a fun way for students to get exposed to different types of agriculture outside of the Midwest.

“It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity,” Horn said.

The cost for students to attend the convention is $325, with an additional portion that’s covered by the school. Horn said students have been fundraising annually to attend the event. Chandler is planning on covering her entry fee with money she’s made from her dog grooming job. As a senior, she can’t think of a better way to cap off her FFA experience.

“This has been a big part of my life,” Chandler said.

A Newton man charged two years ago with second-degree sexual abuse and child endangerment will be sentenced in Jasper County District Court in December.

Christopher L. Riggs, 26, was arrested June 16, 2015 after being accused of punching a 2-year-old child in the genitals, hitting a 4-year-old child in the mouth and sexually abusing an 11-year-old child.

Riggs entered an Alford plea, which states a person doesn’t Riggs admit guilt but acknowledges there is enough evidence for a likely conviction, during a hearing on Oct. 4. He will be sentenced Dec. 11.

According to police reports, the child’s mother said Riggs punched the 2-year-old in the genitals, causing a bruise. When officers spoke to the 11-year-old victim, she said Riggs hit the 4-year-old in the mouth, causing a swollen, split lip and a loose tooth.

When asked by officers if he had ever done anything to her, the victim said three to four weeks before his arrest he sexually assaulted her. Riggs allegedly told the victim she could not tell anyone because, “I could go to jail for a long time.”

Riggs and his girlfriend, Heather L. Hoover, 31, also face two counts of suborning perjury after police say Riggs and Hoover picked up two juveniles Sept. 1, 2016 and transported them to the Jasper County Attorney’s office for a deposition.

Police believe the purpose of the deposition was for the two juveniles to provide false testimony in an effort to assist Riggs’ defense.

According to witness statements, Riggs and Hoover repeatedly pressured and coerced the juveniles into providing false testimony and provided them with the story they wanted them to tell in the deposition.

The juveniles later admitted Riggs and Hoover did drive them and tell them what to say.

Riggs is set to appear for a pre-trial conference Oct. 18 for the felony perjury charge.

Hoover is scheduled for a pre-trial conference Oct. 11.

Hydrants are flushed several times a year to clear the water mains of internal corrosion and residue which naturally builds up in water mains. While no interruptions in water service will

occur as a result of the work, the Newton WaterWorks advises customers may experience some drop in pressure or some discoloration of their water. The discoloration will clear up in a few minutes if the cold water

tap is allowed to run. Do not run hot water or do laundry until cold water side is cleared up.

Some customers have questioned why all hydrants are not flushed. Only those that provide the greatest flow and those that

are on dead ends are opened.

“Unfortunately, very little harvest progress was made due to the wet weather last week. Just 8 percent of corn and 26 percent of beans have been harvested. This puts corn harvest more than two weeks behind the five-year average and soybeans nearly a week behind. Hopefully we can get a run of dry weather that will allow farmers to start getting back in the field,” said Mike Naig, Iowa Deputy Secretary of Agriculture.

The weekly report is also available on the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship’s website at www.IowaAgriculture.gov or on USDA’s

site at www.nass.usda.gov/ia. The report summary follows here: Crop Report Rain throughout most of the week prevented Iowa farmers from spending much time in their fields during the week ending Oct. 8, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. There were only 2.6 days suitable for fieldwork, the lowest this season since the last week in May. Activities for the week included harvesting corn for grain and soybeans, hauling and drying grain, seeding cover crops and applying manure.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 9 percent very short, 16 percent short, 59 percent adequate and 16 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 16 percent very short, 23 percent short, 57 percent adequate and 4 percent surplus.

Eighty-seven percent of corn had reached maturity or beyond, one week behind last year and two days behind the five-year average. Eight percent of the corn crop for grain has been harvested, over two weeks behind average. Moisture content of corn for grain being harvested averaged 22 percent. Corn condition remained at 60 percent good to excellent. Ninety-two percent of soybeans were dropping leaves, one day ahead of last year and four days ahead of average.

Twenty-six percent of the soybean crop has been harvested, nearly a week behind average.

Percent of soybeans harvested varies widely throughout the state, ranging from 9 percent in south central to 47 percent in east central Iowa. Soybean condition rated 62 percent good to excellent.

driving down the road in the winter and I looked over and there was a great, big Belgian draft horse with its head bowed to its chest with the winter wind blowing the hair south. It was such a phenomenal sight, I about drove off the road. It was just mesmerizing and I decided then and there that I was going to incorporate it into a sculpture.”

Sams, who is an avid horseman who owns four horses herself, got started in the medium after previously only working in two-dimensional art.

About 20 years ago, she took a class with Missouri sculptor Elizabeth Ritter and was hooked.

“We just really hit it off and within 10 years I am traveling with her and we are showing our art together,” Sams said.

“She really became a mentor and got me into that third dimension.”

Most of Sams’ subjects fall into three categories, equine, wildlife or Native American and is created out of bronze or clay. She

also has a line of jewelry made of primarily copper and silver as an option for patrons want to own a piece of wearable art.

“Patrons might not be able to take home a bronze sculpture but they might be able to take home a clay or a piece of jewelry that is very reasonable,” Sams said.

This is the third year Sams will be participating at the Iowa festival and she has only good things to say about the organization.

“I heard about it from another participating artist. She had been so pleased with the people that put it on and also had a lot of patrons that come in that are interested in the arts that she recommended it,” Sams said. “It is just such a wonderful group of people that put this show on that it is just a pleasure to come back to it.”

Entrance to the festival is $3 for adults and free for youth 18 and under. For more information visit iowasculpturefestival.org.

NCMP decks Boone on Senior Night

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Senior Night brings a certain energy to a high school event.

NCMP’s Aquagirls had that energy going for them on Tuesday against Boone’s Toreadors.

The Aquagirls showed no effects for back-to-back morning practices in their final home dual meet of the 2017 season. Winning nine of 11 varsity events, NCMP beat visiting Boone 110-60.

In the junior varsity division, the Aquagirls won eight of 11 events for a 109-47 win.

“The girls were fired up tonight. They were tired with morning practice yesterday and today, but they were just ready to come swim,” NCMP head coach Sarah Patterson said. “We’ve come such a long ways as a team working through several bumps in the road, which has made these girls even closer.”

Patterson said Boone provided a solid dual meet for the Aquagirls as they prepare for two conference meets next week. She said it was good to have close races at this point in the season.

“Looking at the team scores, it looks one sided, but Boone gave us good races in almost every event. We needed that,” Patterson said.

“With it being Senior Night, the girls swam for each other tonight wanting the seniors’ final home meet to be a team victory. When you do that, it is a momentum you cannot duplicate any other way.”

In varsity action, NCMP

won all three relays starting with a 1-2 finish in the opening event — the 200-meter medley relay. The team of Lakin Jenkins, Lindsey Blommers, Makenna Brooks and Jaclyn Michener won in 2 minutes, 13.61 seconds followed by teammates Rachel Boll, Alli-

son Paulius, Chloe Kibbee and Abbie Hill in 2:22.42.

Alex Inskeep claimed individual wins in the 200 freestyle in 2:24.53 and the 100 freestyle in 1:06.26. She beat Boone’s Haley Hall, who would later win the 400 freestyle, by a second in the 200

freestyle race.

“Alex had a great meet. She beat the Boone girl, who is seeded ahead of her in the 200 freestyle,” Patterson said. “Jaclyn Michener had her best split times of the entire season. This was a good meet for us.”

Blommers led a 1-2-4

NCMP finish in the 50 freestyle in 29.39, just ahead of Michener in 30.91. Rachel Boll was fourth in 31.36.

Blommers later pulled away from the 100 breaststroke field to win in 1:17.93.

Newton’s Heryford is golfer of the year

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Playing golf is becoming second nature to 13-year-old Rylee Heryford. Golf entered her life when she was 5 and Heryford has worked to improve on the golf course since then.

Heryford of Newton is the Iowa Junior PGA 13-and-under girl’s player of the year, earning 8,597.50 points during the 2017 golf season. This division had the closest race all season of the Iowa PGA Junior Tour, which ran from June to August and the Iowa PGA Junior Fall Classic on Sept. 23.

“Getting player of the year has made me very thankful for all of the people who put the time into making this happen,” Heryford said. “All of my work and effort is paying off. It was a very close race with one of my very good friends from Bettendorf. I am happy and thankful that I came out on top.”

Heryford edged out her closest competitor, Erika Holmberg of Bettendorf, by 60 points.

There were 10 to 20 girls consistently competing each week in the 13-and-under division.

The seven players of the year for 2017 will be honored at the All Star Pro Golf Awards Luncheon on Oct. 17 at Riverside Casino & Golf Resort.

Heryford was invited to represent the state of Iowa in the Cobra-Puma Iowa PGA/Gateway PGA Junior Cup Matches in June 2018. In addition, she will be recognized at the 18th Green Champions Ceremony at the Principal Charity Classic in Submitted Photo 2018.

Newton Berg Middle School eighth-grader Rylee Heryford earned 2017 Player of the Year honors for the 13-and-under girls’ division of the Iowa PGA Junior Tour.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo Ries Wilson blocks a Keota attack shot at the net during pool play of the South Iowa Cedar League tournament on Tuesday in Marengo. Wilson blasted 36 kills on the night during the Tigerhawks’ win over the Eagles and loss to Class 1A No. 10 Iowa Valley.

Tigerhawks split two in SICL tourney pool play

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MARENGO — After Colfax-Mingo’s volleyball team fell behind to Keota early in the first set Tuesday night, head coach Michelle Grant made sure her squad was alive and ready to play.

“Are we here to play or not,” Grant screamed in a quiet gym.

A few points later, Grant’s pair of seniors took the message to heart and made sure the Tigerhawks advanced to at least the silver quad of the South Iowa Cedar League tourney.

Senior Ries Wilson blasted 23 kills, collected 10 digs, had three blocks and served up five aces and her classmate Megan Earles collected 31 assists, four kills, nine digs and three aces as the Tigerhawks swept the Eagles in the opener of pool play at Iowa Valley High School.

Colfax-Mingo rallied to win the opening set and then never trailed again in a 25-17, 25-16, 25-11 victory. Class 1A No. 10 Iowa Valley swept Colfax-Mingo in the final match of the night 25-8, 25-6, 25-16.

Iowa A.D. Barta on leave to battle cancer IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa athletic director Gary Barta is taking an extended medical leave to fight prostate cancer.

The school announced Tuesday that Barta is set to undergo surgery and he intends to return Barta to “as soon as his health and recovery allow.”

Deputy athletic director

Barbara Burke will serve as the department leader in Barta’s absence.

The 54-year-old Barta has been Iowa’s director since 2006.

In 2016, Barta received a contract extension through 2021.

Barta took over for current Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby.

Barta soon replaced basketball coach Steve Alford with Todd Lickliter, who lasted just three seasons before Barta brought in Fran McCaffery — who has since turned the

Hawkeyes into a Big Ten contender.

Barta also has kept successful football coach Kirk Ferentz in Iowa City with a pair of extensions, and Iowa’s football and basketball facilities have undergone major upgrades during Barta’s tenure.

Barta recently hired baseball coach Rick Heller, who has turned the once-moribund program into a consistent winner.

But Barta has had lower moments as well, most notably this spring when the Hawkeyes agreed to pay $6.5 million to

settle discrimination lawsuits filed by former athletic administrator Jane Meyer and her partner, former women’s field hockey coach Tracey Griesbaum.

Burke is a newcomer to Iowa, joining the program in July after assistant athletic director Gene Taylor left to become the director at Kansas State.

Burke, who once worked under Barta at Wyoming, was the athletic director at Eastern Illinois from 2008-14 and later a deputy director at Tulane before leaving for Iowa City.

Tigerhawks

Heryford

Continued from Page 1B “Megan and I have gotten to a point where enough is enough,” Wilson said. “This is our senior year, and it will be over with in a hurry. I don’t want to have any regrets in my high school career. Every ball is my ball. That’s my mindset.”

The split sends the Tigerhawks to the silver quad in Sully on Thursday. Colfax-Mingo opens the second part of the SICL tournament against Sigourney (9-15) after host Lynnville-Sully (14-12) takes on North Mahaska (13-14) at 5 p.m.

“We needed a win,” Grant said. “We want to be .500 or better this week. We are going to play a lot of matches this week.

We play well in flashes and we play bad in flashes. We just need to play our best all the time.

Getting a win tonight is big.”

Wilson had the first two kills for the Tigerhawks against Keota, but the Eagles led 5-2 early in the opening set.

An Earles tip open floor made it 5-3, and then a long service run by Wilson shifted momentum to the Tigerhawks. Wilson served it 10 straight times, collecting four aces during that stretch.

Wilson mixed up her serve with hard line drives and soft lofts over the net. Both were successful, led to several aces and kept the Eagles off balance.

“I have been working on it a lot in practice,” Wilson said of her serve. “I usually do the same serve every time and it gets pretty easy to defend and work off of. I am trying to mix it up a bit, and I tried to use that match as a warm up for the Iowa Valley match.”

Back-to-back kills by freshman Chelsey Temple and junior Mac Brown preceded consecutive aces by Wilson to give Colfax-Mingo a 13-5 lead.

Keota (2-18) couldn’t get closer than five the rest of the way. Grant called timeout with her team up 22-17. The Tigerhawks responded with a Wilson kill sandwiched between two kills by Temple.

Temple finished with eight kills and three aces in the win.

Colfax-Mingo (10-13) got out to an 8-1 lead in the second set. Wilson (three kills) and Earles (two kills and two aces) scored seven of the eight points to give their squad a boost.

Keota got within 9-6 before Wilson and Temple went back to work. Leading 12-7, Wilson blasted five kills and Temple had a pair of kills and two aces to push the lead to 19-9. Temple put the Tigerhawks up 2-0 in the match with a final kill in the set.

After using her power to put away kills in the first two sets, Wilson countered with back-toback tips at the net to give the Tigerhawks a 3-2 in the third set.

Junior Colbee Cunningham served it six straight times to keep momentum on C-M’s side.

Wilson collected two kills and a block during that stretch and the Tigerhawks led 8-2.

Cunningham had two of the Tigerhawks’ 16 aces in the match. Brown and Earles each had three aces.

The lead grew to nine after a kill by junior Braedynn Rawlins

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo junior Chelsea Russell runs down a ball hit by a Keota hitter during the first match of pool play of the South Iowa Cedar League tournament. Russell had a team-high 16 digs in the three-set win over the Eagles. She finished with seven kills in the straight-set loss to Iowa Valley.

and then Temple kept it at an eight-point advantage with another blast. A long service run

by Brown, including two aces, pushed the lead to 22-10, and C-M scored three of the next four points to close it out.

“The win is definitely a positive. We needed something like this to build us back up,” Earles said.

Wilson, Temple and Earles finished with 35 of the team’s 41 kills. Cunningham also had four.

The Tigerhawks had 57 digs with seven players having at least four. Junior libero Chelsea Russell led the way with 16, Wilson finished with 10, Earles had nine, Brown got seven, Temple tallied six, Cunningham claimed five and freshman Kira Warrick finished with four.

“We need Ries to be great.

We aren’t even hiding it anymore. You are going to need to stop her to beat us,” Grant said.

“But (Brown) played well tonight and last night and (Cunningham) gives us an option, too.”

The Tigerhawks were 68-of72 in serves. Earles (15-of-15) and Temple (13-of-13) were perfect, Wilson was 14-of-16 and Cunningham finished 13of-14.

“We’ve gotten better with serving as the year has gone on,” Earles said. “I just try to get it over the net but was able to get some aces tonight, too.”

Against the Tigers, Wilson blasted 13 of the team’s 15 kills, Earles delivered 14 assists and Wilson completed her second double-double of the night with 12 digs. Earles also tallied nine digs and Russell chipped in seven digs.

Colfax-Mingo missed only two serves in the match but had just one ace from Brown.

Iowa Valley (24-10) served up eight aces and was 73-of74 in serves. The Tigers had 43 kills in the win. Senior Caleigh Smith collected a match-high 16 kills.

Heryford played in 16 events, had five first place finishes and never finished out of the top 3 when she played. She won the final two events — the Junior Tour Championship on Aug. 10-11 at Copper Creek Golf Club in Pleasant Hill and the Iowa PGA Junior Fall Classic at Amana Colonies Golf Club.

She shot an 80 (3941) to win her division at the Junior Tour Championship then posted a 42 for nine holes at the fall classic. Heryford, who is an eighth-grader at Newton’s Berg Middle School, won an 18-hole tournament in July at Springbrook Country Club in DeWitt and a nine-hole event at Glynns Creek Golf Course in Long Grove on Aug. 1 on a season-low 38.

“I enjoy playing golf because you are the person in control of what you are doing,” Heryford said. “I also enjoy golf because each hole is a new hole, and you can just keep moving on after what happened on the last hole.”

Heryford said she plays golf all year round with her main season in the summer. She said she hits balls and takes lessons throughout the year with her coaches, including John Shawyer at Fore Seasons Golf.

Heryford calls Newton’s Westwood Golf Course her home course.

Heryford is the daughter of Jason and Kerry Heryford of Newton. She plans to play golf at Newton High School next year.

“I believe that if you want to accomplish things then you have to put in the time,” she said.

“I would like to go on and play college golf at a Division 1 school. I think that if I keep practicing, and working my hardest, I can accomplish this.”

Castroneves to move to Team Penske sports car program CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Three-time Indianapolis 500 winner Helio Castroneves is done racing full-time in the IndyCar Series.

The youth movement officially hit IndyCar on Wednesday when Team Penske said it was moving Castroneves to its new sports car program next season.

The decision, expected all year, brings to an end the fulltime IndyCar career of one of the series’ most popular drivers.

Castroneves has been a 20-year staple on the circuit and the popular Brazilian has worldwide fame for his racing accomplishments, exuberant personality and win on ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars” program.

Castroneves still will drive for Penske at the Indianapolis 500 next May. “I’ve been fortunate to achieve a lot of my personal goals with Team Penske over the years,” said Castroneves, the longest-tenured driver in Penske history. “I’m also excited to get a chance to race again for Team Penske at the Indianapolis 500. That race is near and dear to my heart and trying to become the fourth fourtime winner is something I really want to accomplish in my career.

“We’ve come so close the last few years and with this team, I know we will have a great opportunity to try and make some history.”

Castroneves will join Juan Pablo Montoya, Dane Cameron and a driver yet to be identified in the two-car Acura Team Penske program that will race next year in the IMSA SportsCar Championship.

Penske has not set pairings for each car, or named additional drivers for endurance races.

Castroneves will race this weekend with Montoya and Simon Pagenaud at the Petit Le Mans at Road Atlanta.

“Helio has been a valuable member of Team Penske for almost 20 years and we are looking forward to sharing more success together,” Penske said.

“Competitors like Helio, Rick Mears and Mark Donohue are what have made Team Penske what it is today. This represents a new challenge for him and I know he is excited

about the opportunity.”

Castroneves is considered one of IndyCar’s all-time greats, and he has been the cornerstone of the Penske operation. He has more victories than any other Penske driver and two of his Indy 500 victories came in his first two starts at Indy, in 2001 and 2002.

He last won at Indianapolis in 2009 and he’s finished second two times over the last four seasons.

Castroneves also has made five starts for Team Penske in sports car competition.

He won two poles, had three podium finishes and a class victory in the 2008 Petit

Le Mans event.

Penske has been working on the sports car program all year and has not hidden that idea that he’d move Castroneves. A year ago, he bumped Montoya out of his IndyCar seat to sign Josef Newgarden, who rewarded Penske with the series title last month.

Montoya is still with the organization, but like Castroneves, he’ll now be focused on launching the new program.

Montoya, a two-time Indianapolis 500 winner, will not return to the Penske program next year at Indy, though the Colombian can always seek another ride.

Castroneves instead will get that seat, and Penske will field four cars for the 500 but only three in full-time IndyCar competition.

“Helping Roger, the team and everyone with Acura start this program and build it from the ground up will be another big challenge and a great opportunity in my career,” Castroneves said.

“I am proud of everything we have accomplished together in IndyCar and now I am focused on helping to develop the ARX-05 to try and win the 24 Hours of Daytona and the IMSA championship in 2018 with Acura.”

Chiefs QB Alex Smith flying high with Kansas City at 5-0 KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — By almost any measure, Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith is having the best season of his career.

Best season of anybody in the league this year, too.

He was 29-of-37 for 324 yards with three touchdown passes and no interceptions in Sunday night’s 42-24 victory over Houston, which kept Kansas City as the NFL’s lone unbeaten team. That was good for a 130.2 passer rating, his sixth straight regular-season game with 100.0 or better.

His prolific night tossing touchdown passes followed a four-touchdown performance in the season opener against New England, and gave him 11 for the season, third best in the league.

Smith also ranks third in yards passing, better than such notables as Aaron Rodgers, Philip Rivers and Ben Roethlisberger. He ranks first in completion percentage at 76.6, more than 5 percent better than Josh McCown in second. And he ranks first in yards per attempt at 8.80, topping second-place Tom Brady, even though Smith has been saddled with a dink-and-dunk reputation as a game manager.

Oh, and he’s run for more

than 100 yards and another touchdown during the Chiefs’ 5-0 start.

“He’s really good at extending plays,” Texans coach Smith Bill O’Brien said. “I’m not sure what he rushed for, but he ran for a lot of yards. He’s a great player. He’s playing at a high level right now.”

The Chiefs are playing at a high level because of him.

This is the third time in franchise history the Chiefs have won their first five games, and the win in Houston was their ninth consecutive on the road, matching the franchise record set in 1966-67.

Since his arrival in a 2013 trade with San Francisco, Smith has helped the Chiefs piece together a win streak of at least five games during each season.

That included nine straight to start the 2013 season, 10 straight two years ago and five in a row to win the AFC West last season.

“Alex is playing similar to how he’s played before. The results are a bit different,” Chiefs

coach Andy Reid said. “It seems like he’s more in tune, and the receivers are more in tune with their games with one another. (Offensive coordinator) Matt Nagy has done a phenomenal job as a coordinator and putting things together that are Alex’s best stuff.”

The fact that Smith has played at this level is remarkable considering the injuries that have ransacked the offense. They’ve been without center Mitch Morse and guards Parker Ehinger and Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, left tackle Eric Fisher has played through some back spasms, and more injuries hit during an otherwise dominant performance in Houston.

Tight end Travis Kelce was sidelined by a concussion, briefly returned to the game, then left again when he complained of memory loss.

The Chiefs also lost No. 2 wide receiver Chris Conley with a ruptured Achilles tendon, further depleting a young and not necessarily deep position group.

None of that seems to have mattered, though. Smith just keeps making plays.

“I think we’re just executing more consistently,” he said.

“I think we’ve had flashes in years past and I think we’ve had a good stretch week to week. I think we have a confidence about us that even when we do get little spills and things don’t go our way, we still can find a way to go back to being us. We have the guys to do that. We have the coaches to do that. We have the confidence in that.”

No mistake, the Chiefs are exuding confidence heading into next Sunday’s game against Pittsburgh, the team that knocked them from the divisional round of the playoffs last season.

That’s because the biggest question mark surrounding the Chiefs the last few years has been the ceiling of their quarterback.

Everybody knew that their defense was stingy and opportunistic, and that playmakers such as Kelce, wide receiver Tyreek Hill and now rooking running back Kareem Hunt gave Kansas City enough weapons to stay in the game with anyone.

What most people still questioned was whether Smith could carry a team on his right arm.

So far, he’s answering their question with aplomb.

NLDS Game 4 of Nats-Cubs rained out, set to play Wednesday CHICAGO (AP) — The showers came a little late, but the rain that soaked Wrigley Field and washed out Game 4 of the NL Division Series followed Tuesday’s forecast pretty closely.

Instead, Washington Nationals manager Dusty Baker delivered the biggest surprise of the day.

Baker announced after the rainout that he will stay with Tanner Roark for Wednesday’s must-win game against the Chicago Cubs instead of giving the ball to ace Stephen Strasburg on regular rest. Jake Arrieta pitches for the Cubs in his return from a right hamstring injury.

Strasburg threw a bullpen session earlier in the day, according to Baker, and the manager also said there is an illness going around the team, which he attributed to the weather, air conditioning at their hotel and Wrigley, and the “time of the year for mold around Chicago.”

“We decided to stay with Tanner because, No. 1, you know, he was slated,” Baker said. “Didn’t work out for Stras for his bullpen day, and we’re all creatures of habit, and plus, we’ve got full confidence in Tanner.

And Stras, it would have been better, because he’s feeling under the weather, like a lot of my team is.”

The Cubs and Nationals took batting practice and the grounds crew got the field ready before bringing out the tarp. The rain started to fall about a half-hour after the game was supposed to start. With more showers in the forecast, Major League Baseball then called it off.

Chicago leads 2-1 in the best-of-five series going into Game 4, now scheduled for Wednesday at 3:08 p.m. There is rain in the forecast for early in the day.

“Everybody was pretty much on the same page on this one,” MLB executive Joe Torre said. “You know, we all felt it wasn’t going to be enough playing time without rain.”

If the Nationals win Wednesday, Game 5 would be Thursday night in Washington. The winner of the NLDS takes on the Dodgers in the next round, scheduled to begin Saturday in Los Angeles.

Chicago won 2-1 at home Monday.

Arrieta has pitched just 10 1/3 innings since Aug. 30. The 2015 NL Cy Young Award winner got hurt during a loss at Pittsburgh on Sept. 4. He returned late last month and made a couple starts down the stretch, but lasted just three innings in a loss at St. Louis on Sept. 26.

The Cubs skipped Arrieta’s last turn in the rotation in the regular season and then pushed him back to Game 4 for the playoffs, giving the right-hander ample time to rest.

The rainout also meant the Nationals had to switch hotels.

The biggest winner of the day was the Dodgers, who eliminated Arizona with a 3-1 victory in Game 3 of their NLDS on Monday night.

If the NLDS between the Nationals and Cubs goes the distance, the survivor will have to play four times in five days.

Astrograph

Tests of patience are tests of character, as the best and worst of human qualities emerge when patience is tried. Such is today’s cosmic challenge, with Mars and Saturn forming a stressful pattern customdesigned to elicit frustration.

Dig down deep and show that you’re made of something stronger and more mature than false urgencies.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 11). You’ll meet the people you want to know right at the start of this solar return.

Love fills your life with joy.

It all happens for one reason -- because you’re paying attention, seizing opportunities to connect. A perspective shift

and a new way of setting up your days will make you more productive in 2018. Taurus and Sagittarius adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 10, 1, 13, 7 and 41.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

If it’s good, it will be good in many situations. You’ll be able to present it with pride. You won’t have to wonder whether or not it’s going to hold up.

Look for what’s good. What has integrity. Look for it, and honor it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

The takeaway isn’t always something neat and clean that you can tuck away in a wallet like a business card. The

takeaway might be a messy little feeling.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You work this way, they work that way... now how does it all work together? That’s the question to be answered today, and you’ll answer it best when you collaborate with a Taurus or a Sagittarius.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

There is no perfect partner.

The list of qualities that might make up such a person go out the window as it becomes clearer to you what really matters now -- namely chemistry and compatible lifestyles.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your loved ones appreciate you, though you can’t feel it at all times. When do you feel it

most? When there’s enough space and time between you for them to get some perspective on your wonderful qualities.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

There’s a habit you’ve been trying to break, and you certainly can. The answer is right in front of you. All it will take is one good you-to-you talk to sort it all out.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

People think they can help you, and yet they have no concept of what it is you really do. It goes against all you’re thinking, and yet it really is true: The only one to fill the role the way you do it is you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

The saying goes, “You can’t hunt two hares with one dog.”

There will be multiple options available to you, but only one viable one. Which one is that?

Either, really, as long as it’s the only one you choose. So choose one and chase.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Work on. Work how you are. Work when you’re up, sluggish, inspired, tired, enthused or used. Work for you. And work because the real glory is in the work.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It’s so easy to explore new worlds these days; you’re only a few keyboard clicks away from it. You’ll dive into a virtual adventure and learn so well about what’s there that you’ll soon be able to give a tour on the subject.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

The critical thinking might not serve you so well right now, and you shouldn’t let the details weigh you down. If you refuse to get mired in minutiae you’ll get a powerful bigpicture perspective.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You will solve problems and generate ideas while your brain is in a kind of default mode, occupied gently by some kind of low-stress rhythm, such as the type created by walking, driving, showering and the like.

Newton JV football team loses twice

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High’s junior varsity have dropped two football games in a row. The Cardinals lost at home Thursday, 46-23, to Southeast Polk then fell 48-6 to Ankeny Centennial on Monday in Ankeny.

Against SEP, the Cardinals trailed 7-0 when Josh Meyer kicked 29-yard field goal to make it 7-3 at the end of the first quarter. In the second quarter, a scoop-and-score fumble recovery by Kalob Dydell for a TD with Meyer kicking the extra point, make it 13-10.

The Rams expanded their lead to 19-10 by halftime, scoring on a 75-yard pass play.

Newton got no closer.

PLEASANT HILL — After falling behind 24-0 by halftime, Newton High’s freshmen battled to an 8-8 draw with host Southeast Polk in the second half of Monday’s football game.

The Rams won the game, which was postponed from Friday, 32-8.
