App makes crisis management easier for schools

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News Administrators at the Newton Community School district are working on rolling a new app that will make it eas-

ier for teachers to communicate with administrators and track students in the event of an emergency. With recent threats prompting closures at Iowa schools, parents are more concerned than ever

about the safety of their children. Rumors spread quickly across social media, and it’s critical that parents are able to receive updates about their children in the event of a crisis.

Gayle Isaac, the director of business services for the NCSD, said the app, called Crisis Go, will offer more communication capability, and make it easier for teachers to manage crisis situations.

The app, which is available for both phones and tablets, contains a classroom roster that each teacher is able to view.

Speed contributing factor in crash on Killduff corner

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A stretch of roadway currently under review by the county was the site of a car crash Tuesday.

E i g hte e n - ye ar- ol d Curtis Richardson, of Fort Madison, was traveling southbound on Highway T22S at 10:48 p.m. when his vehicle left the roadway, striking several signs before landing in a ditch.

According to the Jasper County Sheriff ’s report, Richard-

son was following the curve of Highway T22S and failed to reduce his speed to an appropriate rate to negotiate the curve. Richardson swerved, tried to brake, lost traction and ran off the road. The vehicle then struck a warning sign, skidded across the street, became airborne, struck a stop sign, hit the ground, struck a support post for the Killduff Supply billboard and a chevron sign and came CRASH | 3A

Rep. Wes Breckenridge, D-Newton, met with members of the Veterans Affairs Commission on Wednesday to get input on a proposed bill that would change the veteran designation under the Iowa law. Breckenridge was approached by a woman who was upset she was unable to receive a veteran designation on her driver’s license, and therefore wasn’t eligible to receive 10 percent off at Lowe’s, the home improvement retailer.

Under current law, Iowa code states a veteran is defined as someone who has served, and been honorably discharged during a conflict. The conflict dates cover

This link to the Iowa code explains how veteran designations are defined, and what constitutes a veteran. Breckenridge’s proposed bill would allow more Iowans to receive a veteran’s designation, which would allow them to receive a host of different benefits, from reduced price admissions to national parks to discounts at area retailers. https://www.legis.iowa.gov/docs/ code/35.1.pdf

wars that have involved overseas deployment of the armed forces, including the current War on Terror, which is still ongoing. Members of the National Guard are also eligible for a veteran designation

if they have more than 20 years of service with the guard, or if they have been completed a minimum of 90 days of active federal duty.

The veteran designation confers a number of benefits to individuals, including VA benefits, pension benefits and numerous discounts where veterans are recognized.

Without the designation, veterans are unable to join the American Legion as well.

Breckenridge was contacted by a Jasper County resident who has 17 years of service in the National Guard, and was forced out of the organization after she had been passed over for a promotion to major due to a lack of a college degree.

Back on the map Former country club businesses establish new locations

By Kayla Singletary Newton Daily News Several local businesses have new addresses following a recent move from the former Newton Country Club building. The Gingerbread House, Spinal Solutions and DeVyne Solutions all recently moved into separate spaces near the town’s square.

The move was initiated when the City of Newton accepted a donation of the former country club building in April.

The fast-paced move has brought on new changes to the day care center,

The Gingerbread House, which is now located at 315 W. Third St. N. Director of the day care, Lariann Overbay, said the business was temporarily located at Grace Church this summer before they moved into the Third Street location last month.

It’s easy to feel comfortable when walking in the door as a gingerbread man wearing gumdrops is the current focal point of the building. Overbay said the transformation of the new location is in the works and will be better than ever before.

The space is being

leased to the day care until one last move transpires to an even bigger space on the south side of the building, according to Overbay.

“They’re going to renovate it and specifically make it for day care, which we are really excited for,” Overbay said.

“This location is fantastic, and we are really excited to be here.”

The current location allows for double the space compared to what was allowed in the country club.

“The space over there allowed us to be licensed for 30 kids and we have 53 on roll now,” Overbay said. “We have been able to grow now and we only had two classrooms before.”

That’s Odd Man sets up fake speed trap to curb smelly deer carcasses JONES MILLS, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania man says he used flashing dashboard lights to mimic a police speed trap — but only so he could slow down vehicles speeding past his rural home and killing deer and endangering people.

Fifty-seven-year-old Ricky McMillen tells WPXI-TV that he used the flashing lights on his car because he’s been complaining about speeders for years and getting few results.

What he says he has gotten is very smelly deer carcasses along the road.

Entertainment Documentary about anxiety taps a world-class athlete NEW YORK (AP) — A new documentary about anxiety argues that everyone to some extent suffers from stress, nerves and social fear.

And, to make their point, the filmmakers have enlisted as Exhibit A the most decorated Olympian in history.

Michael Phelps appears in “Angst” to share his story of being bullied and depressed, leading to severe

anxiety. The s w i m m e r, winner of 28 Olympic medals, would look in the mirror and not like what he saw.

Phelps “Once I opened up about that and things that

I had kept inside of me for so many years, I then found that life was a lot easier. I got to the point where I understood that it’s OK to not be OK,” he says in the film.

“Angst,” an IndieFlix film designed to be screened at schools and community centers, features candid interviews with children and young adults discussing their anxiety, along with

advice from mental health experts and resources and tools. Phelps is like a muscular explanation mark for what the filmmakers wanted to show — that even world champions can feel low.

“I’m grateful because my mission with this film is to help make the world a better place and I believe he is so additive on that level,” said Scilla Andreen.

“I want to do what I can with this guidance, and assist them and help them out in any way that I can,” Breckenridge said. “I want to make sure that these changes meet their needs.”

Several of the Veterans Affairs Commissioners were sympathetic to the request, but Commissioner Sue Springer objected. Adding the “V” designation to Iowa driver’s licenses would constitute fraud in her opinion.

“I think you are opening a huge can of worms, you are changing this and giving that person a veteran status, they are not a veteran,” Springer said.

“They are not a veteran, they never have been and they never will be.”

In Springer’s eyes, adding the designation to Iowa driver’s licenses would amount to falsifying a federal document. Commissioner Fred Dimon doesn’t see it that way, he said state documents differ from federal documents, which led to a testy back and forth between Dimon and Springer until Dimon finally told her, “Well, I don’t care” in response to her claims.

Changing the state’s veteran designation to include members of the armed forces who served in non-conflict eras would potentially put the state at odds with federal policy. Keith Thorpe, the assistant to the Veterans Affairs director said he’s seen both sides of the policy. Thorpe was on active duty during Vietnam, but he served in the reserves for years without ever being called up, and lacks the veteran designation.

“If I spent 18 years going to that place down by Maytag Park that’s a little different than someone who went to Vietnam,” Thorpe said.

Kurt Jackson, the director of the Jasper County Veterans Affairs office, said it was only in the last year the policy had changed to allow individuals who had served in the armed forces during peacetime to receive veteran benefits.

“Until recently you had to be part of conflict to get benefits,” Jackson said. “When I got out I was not considered a veteran.”

Breckenridge said he plans to do more research on the issue, but he’s considering drafting a bill that would recognize those who’ve served their country honorably but are not currently considered veterans. When the legislators return to Des Moines in January he’s hoping to have a proposal ready.

“If someone has dedicated 17 years of service to their county and worked their tail off and supported their country we ought to be able to give that person a veteran designation,” Breckenridge said.

can take attendance using the app, which immediately generates a report sent to administrators.

“The old days of taking a binder and ruffling through paperwork, that’s gone,” Isaac said.

NCSD administrators made the decision to go forward with the app last spring, and Isaac said after completing the initial training sessions with administrative staff building principals were trained, and expected to train their staffs as well.

Thomas Jefferson principal Trisca Mick said implementation at her school has been slow, and only a handful of teachers have been trained so far. To get more comfortable with the app she’s completed a second round of training.

“This is something that we’re going to use, but most of my staff hasn’t been trained yet,” Mick said. “It’s hard to get a decent chunk of time to sit down and do this.”

Mick has asked all of her staff members to download the app so

Overbay, a Newton native, has been with the business since April and has 20 years of experience working with children in daycare and preschool settings.

“My vision for the center is to produce a very high-quality service for the Newton community,” Overbay said. “I want every child who comes through our doors to feel validated and loved and that they are receiving the highest possible early childhood education that they can get.”

David Dolmage/Daily News Gayle Isaac, the director of business services for the Newton Community School District, listens during a meeting of the NCSD board. Last year Isaac decided to adopt a new app to make it easier for teachers to communicate during a crisis event, but the roll out process has been slow.

they’ll have an opportunity to better understand its functions. She’s heard plenty of positive feedback from teachers about the system so far, and she’s eager to get her staff fully trained.

In addition to the Crisis Go app, NCSD staff members have implemented a number of other safety features across the district. Isaac not-

To further the children’s’ experiences, the new location has prompted many outings since it sits in the center of town.

“We got the fire station right down the road ... Cardinal Corner and the movie theater, and we have everything on the square,” Overbay said. “For Christmas, we are walking down to Park Centre and doing a program with them.”

Other field trips the preschoolers and schoolaged kids have ventured on include the Newton Public Library every Thursday and the Centre for Arts and Artists, where children will begin a clay project.

Overbay said it takes a village to run the day care center. There are currently seven full-time employees and two part-

time employees who are giving children their full attention.

“Meeting a person I feel like I have a pretty good judge of character,” Overbay said. “’I look for education, experience and if someone has a good balance of both they are definitely a good candidate.”

Overbay said the day care’s prices are pretty comparative to other local day cares and she hasn’t had to raise her prices despite the move.

“We have parents who have said they are so glad we are here after the whole country club ... because we weren’t sure if we were going to have a location, so I think our parents are very happy,” Overbay said.

ICE training as well. This program, designed to teach staff members how to respond in the event of an active shooter, is a partnership between the district and local law enforcement. Officers from the Newton Police Department and the Jasper County Sheriff ’s office run teachers through simulated crisis drills, which Isaacs said prepares teachers for any emergency.

“We try to give them real-life situations, we have a gun that shoots blanks, we show them what to do if an intruder tries to force their way into the classroom, and to help them decide if they need to exit or shelter in place,” Isaac said.

Mick said she’d like to see the district step up its training sessions to include students as well.

At her previous school district, administrators practiced lockdown drills with students, and Mick believes students would benefit from that experience.

Not so ‘Rotten’

to write a musical is hard when you can’t come up with the perfect idea. Discouraged by the first few attempts, Nick returns to the soothsayer to try to steal one of Shakespeare’s future ideas. The soothsayer only gets bits and pieces of “Omelette” and then picks up on ideas from other musicals like “Sound of Music” and “Phantom of the Opera” to fill in the blanks. What Nick and Nigel come up with is completely ridiculous, but that’s part of the fun of watching “Something Rotten!” unfold.

The performance was thoroughly enjoyable. It was fun, lighthearted entertainment. It had all of the elements to make anyone walk out of the theater happy — song, dance, humor and love. Rob McClure gave a wonderful performance as Nick Bottom. As the central character, he draws you in and makes you root for the underdogs. Even when Nick is trying too hard, you know he is only doing so because he wants to be a success for his family. I always make a point to read the playbill, especially about the lead actors. I

illiam Shakespeare has always been a favorite of mine. I was assigned to read works by Bill the Bard in school and have also watched film adaptations of many of his famous works and have seen one on stage, though I’d love to increase that number.

While reading the synopsis for “Something Rotten!” I wasn’t exactly sure what to expect as I filed into the busy Des Moines Civic Center Tuesday for opening night. I had heard it compared to “Spamalot” and “The Book of Mormon,” so I knew comedy would be a major part of the show.

Set in the ‘90s, the 1590s that is, smack dab in the middle of the Renaissance world of Elizabethan England and during Shakespeare’s heyday, brothers and struggling bards, Nick and Nigel Bottom are

trying to write a hit play to compete with The Bard. It’s not so easy trying to compete against the best.

Nick feels the strain to support his wife and younger brother, so he is desperate to try anything to come up with a good idea.

He pays a soothsayer to look into the future and tell him what people will want to see. The answer is to write the first musical. Here is where the comedy really amps up. There were so many funny, subtle jabs at musicals, all done in song for perfect use of irony. They worked in so many references to big Broadway musical productions, it was hard to hear them all. But I digress.

After the show-stopping musical number convinces Nick this is the next big thing, he hurries to find his brother to tell him all about it. However, wanting

was delighted to read that Maggie Lakis, who plays Nick’s wife Bea on stage, is McClure’s wife in real life. They each had a special note to each other in the text, and it made their performance on stage all the more endearing.

Shakespeare was portrayed as the villain in this story, however I can’t bring myself to see him that way. He was a “rock star” persona, and I had a silent fangirl moment when I realized Adam Pascal played The Bard. Pascal played the original Roger in “RENT,” and it’s one of my favorite musicals. Pascal’s rocker singing voice was perfect for this Shakespeare. I was so thrilled to get to see him perform on stage.

“Something Rotten!” was fun from beginning to end. I couldn’t possibly reveal everything about it that made it so much fun to watch, nor should you want me to spoil it. It will be at the Civic Center through Sunday. Go check it out if you have the chance.

It’s all about animals I got a text from Ginnie while she was at work.

“What’s going on today?”

I text back, “Buddy to the vet, lady bringing her two hens, pet blessing on Sunday.”

“It’s all about animals,” she replied. “LOL!” And so it is. Life on the Empty Nest Farm is all about animals. Buddy was due for his annual checkup and shots. By the way, Buddy goes to the doctor more than I do. Oh, well. When it comes to cutes, he has the corner market.

A lady I met at our Old Threshers garage sale noted our hens running around free range. She asked if I wanted two more. She didn’t want to keep hers through the winter. I told her I would give it a try.

Not only did she bring the two hens, but she also brought the coop she had for them. It was sort of like an apartment complex for chickens, with builtin nest boxes, roosts, and a ramp for accessing the second story. I was kind of worried about whether my hens and her hens would get along. So, I had the lady help me move her coop into our larger hen house. My idea was to house her two hens in the coop they were accustomed to while letting my hens acclimate to hers and vice versa.

I kept her two hens in the coop overnight. My hens were quite interested in the coop and unsuccessfully tried to get inside. Her two hens huddled in the corner of their coop, bewildered by the new surroundings and the 11 additional birds-of-afeather. Could they flock together?

My intentions were to keep the two new hens in their coop for a couple of days, while letting my hens in and out to graze. However, after the first night, I felt guilty about keeping the two new hens cooped up. I let them out to mingle with my 11 hens and to go outside at will.

At first, the two new hens were quite shy about leaving their familiar surroundings. But they slowly poked out and went immediately to eating and drinking from the larger feeder and waterer. My hens rushed inside the strange coop to see what it was all about.

The two new hens investigated the laying boxes and eventually wandered outside. There were a few dust-ups between my hens and the newbies, but nothing serious.

One of the new hens is dark red and shy. The other is a red-and-white mix with a buff tail. So we call them Red and Buffy. Buffy is the boss, and they stick together tightly, wandering around our 2.5 acres, eating bugs and staying off the road.

I was a little concerned about whether Red and Buffy would return to the hen house at night, but they did — not to roost with my hens, but to return to the inside of their coop. Interesting. They are also not using my laying boxes, but continue to lay eggs in the coop’s built-in laying boxes. I think some of my hens are going into the new coop and laying eggs at the new facility. Also interesting.

Swarm’s adopt-a-hen. Lucky 13.

We are getting about a dozen nice brown eggs a day. Many of them double-yolkers. In the supermarket, they would be called “cage-free brown eggs” and are more expensive than the standard whites. We call our eggs, “country gold.”

Our pastor had a pet blessing at the church and we took Buddy. He was a little jealous over all the attention we’re giving the hens but is feeling special now after the blessing.

Ginnie was right, life on the farm is all about animals, which is a nice relief from the strife in the world. Next year, we might take Red and Buffy to get blessed.

We’re failing the U.S. citizens of Puerto Rico Hurricane-struck Puerto Rico wants “everything done for them,” says President Trump.

Puerto Rico, an island of 3.5 million inhabitants — all of whom are U.S. citizens — gets nearly nothing done for it.

Puerto Rico, a colony of the United States, has gotten a whole lot of nothing from Washington for a long time. Various U.S. laws along with irresponsible spending by previous Puerto Rican governments left the island in debt.

Even before it was hit by two category 5 hurricanes, U.S. laws set up the circumstances that allowed a financial crisis to plague Puerto Rico and prevented the island from solving it. These laws have led many Puerto Ricans, including educated Puerto Ricans, to leave the island for the mainland. This further weakens the economy of the island.

The island’s years-long economic crisis was the backdrop for Hurricane Maria. Thanks in part to its outdated infrastructure, the

island lost electricity for weeks, and many places are unreachable because of downed trees and other debris in the road.

The recovery will take a long time, and it will cost a lot. Who knows how many people will die because they couldn’t get dialysis while the power was out, or they ran out of food and couldn’t reach help? Or who got sick from lack of clean water? Already the death toll has more than doubled as reports of these casualties surface.

What’s clear is that Puerto Rico needed help anyway, and now they need it even more because of the storm.

Americans should ask why we still have colonies in the 21st century. Puerto Rico lacks the rights of U.S. states. All U.S. states send representatives to vote in Con-

gress, and therefore the citizens of those states indirectly have a say in the laws of the nation.

Puerto Ricans are subject to U.S. laws but — like the residents of Guam, the Virgin Islands, and other territories (plus the District of Columbia) — get no say at all in the making of those laws.

Puerto Rico isn’t blameless for its debt, but U.S. laws are currently frustrating the island’s attempts to get out of it.

There may be differing opinions about what the U.S. should do about Puerto Rico’s debt, but there cannot be two opinions about hurricane relief. If we don’t help, U.S. citizens will suffer and die.

Wanting your legal rights as citizens in the form of federal government aid in a natural disaster isn’t wanting “everything done for you.” It’s what we all expect, and should expect, as citizens of this nation.

America shouldn’t let down our citizens in Puerto Rico. We must help them in this crisis.

Meat-and-potatoes man pans his friend’s vegan cooking DEAR ABBY: I retired after a 40year career. A friend from work, “Bernie,” is the same age I am (62) but is still working.

Six years ago, I had a serious health crisis. Three years ago, Bernie survived a heart attack. Since then, Bernie worries incessantly about dying. He exercises rigorously and eats a strictly vegan diet. I like to spend time with him, but I’m more casual about diet and exercise.

Neither of us is going to be a GQ model, regardless of how much we diet or exercise. I say life should be enjoyed, but Bernie is too busy obsessing, compulsively taking medicine and working out.

Today he invited me out to supper.

Instead of going to a restaurant, he said he was cooking another of his (nottoo-tasty) vegan meals. I don’t want to offend or discourage Bernie, but I hate his cooking. What should I do?

Would a steak and a baked potato kill him? — PAUNCHY BUT HAPPY IN KENTUCKY DEAR PAUNCHY: Because you enjoy Bernie’s company, call him and tell him you would love to come to supper, but because you are a carnivore you will be bringing your own steak and potato with you, so fire up the broiler.

DEAR ABBY: My mother died from a heroin overdose when I was 8. As a mother with children of my own, I often find myself getting upset when people say nice things about her — things that would normally make people feel good, such as, “Oh, she would have been so proud of you,” or, “She was such a great woman.” I feel that if she was such a great woman, she wouldn’t have chosen drugs over her (or our) well-being. How can I let go of the anger I feel toward her when everyone else sees her only in a good light?

— MIXED FEELINGS ABOUT MOM DEAR MIXED FEELINGS: I’m sorry for the loss of your mother at such a tender age and under such tragic

circumstances. Far more is understood about drug addiction today than was known when you were a child. We now know that addiction can be less about a lack of character than a medical problem.

I seriously doubt that when your mother gave herself her final fix she realized it would be her last. While I sympathize with your anger at being cheated out of her presence in your life, it would be better for your own quality of life if you could accept that she was a human being and fallible. A licensed mental health professional can help you work through your anger, and I hope you will talk to one soon.

DEAR ABBY: We host many gatherings in our home during the year, including picnics. We have a downstairs bathroom that is intended for guests.

But twice now, I have encountered guests using my upstairs bathroom. I have never offered it, and I’m offended that they take it upon themselves to go uninvited into private territory. I would never do that in someone else’s house.

Am I wrong, or are they overstepping the boundaries here? — WONDERING IN THE EAST DEAR WONDERING: To use your upstairs bathroom without asking your permission is overstepping. The exception might be if the downstairs bathroom was in use, and the need to get into one was urgent.

CORRECTIONVILLE — Authorities say a woman has died after her vehicle was rear-ended on a northwest Iowa road and pushed into the path of a school bus. Linda Zahnley, 68 of Correctionville, died in the Tuesday afternoon crash on state Highway 31. The Woodbury County Sheriff ’s Office says Zahnley was stopped, waiting to turn east when her SUV was rear-ended by a pickup truck driven by 54-year-old Clifton Cockburn, of Correctionville. The crash pushed the SUV into the path of an oncoming school bus.

Court records say 48-year-old Angela Sorensen is charged with theft. A public phone listing for her isn’t available. Court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for her.

The records say that when Sorensen was clerk for Westfield, she had control of an account in which money was amassed for a public park and T-ball complex.

Police arrest man after body found near street

CORALVILLE — Authorities say a man serving a life term for murder has died at an Iowa corrections facility.

The Iowa Corrections Department says Robert Jean Robinson was pronounced dead a little before 1:15 a.m. Wednesday at the Iowa Medical and Classification Center in Coralville. He was 74.

The department says he’d been serving a life term for a first-degree murder in Clinton County. Authorities say he killed a car dealer, Tom Tague.

RED OAK — Red Oak police have charged a man in the death of another man whose body was found near a street in Red Oak. Police found the body of 27-year-old Devin Alexander Davis about 4:15 a.m. Wednesday near a street. They later determined he’d been killed by a single gunshot. Red Oak police say investigators determined 39-year-old Kevin Duane Staley and Davis had a confrontation earlier Wednesday, leading to the shooting.

Man deemed not mentally competent for murder trial DES MOINES — A man charged with stabbing to death his uncle in Des Moines won’t be going to trial. A Polk County District Court judge ruled Wednesday that 24-yearold Corderro Laurence was not mentally competent to stand trial indefinitely. A similar ruling was issued in August. Laurence will continue to receive treatment, and prosecutors could proceed in the future if it appears his competency has been restored.

Newton Community Theatre presents ‘Girls’ Weekend’

By Scott Schaeffer “To friends and wine!!… (and flirting).” That seems to be the theme of this uproarious comedy by playwright Karen Schaeffer. After all, what else is one to do when you’re in a cabin in the north woods and a blizzard has you snowed-in with nowhere to go? When all you have to keep you entertained are your friends, significant others (who aren’t supposed to be there) and seemingly endless bottles of wine, things are bound to get a little interesting. That’s exactly what you can expect with Newton Community Theatre’s production of “Girls’ Weekend,” directed by Mel Wilson.

The story begins as the women converge on the weekend getaway cabin with books and wine aplenty. The cabin-themed set was well designed as it gives you the feeling of being in the north woods. Debbie LaShomb

plays the part of Dot, and she aptly portrays the child of the 60s, weekend organizer and in-charge leader of the group.

Another one of the “girls” is Meg, humorously played by Linda Dougan. In addition to bottles of wine, Meg also brings her adult daughter Ellie along for the girls’ getaway.

Like mother, like daughter,

neither Meg nor Ellie are completely certain of what they want in a man. Ellie is portrayed by Amy McGhghy, whose presence onstage is that of a confident professional. Rounding out the girls’ club is Carol, skillfully played

by Adrianne Fazel. Amy and Adrianne are like two college besties and they play off each

Richard L. Ferrell, 64, was found lying on the ground next to the vehicle. Ferrell told police he drank six beers and a small bottle of Fireball whiskey prior to the crash.

Witnesses told police that Ferrell struck a fence and then backed his vehicle into the home on Sixth Street North.

Newton Fire Depart-

ment personnel transported Ferrell to Skiff Medical Center with a possible head injury, a police report states. His breath alcohol content was more than .08.

townie, who humorously attempts to win Ellie’s heart, although too much alcohol may be his downfall.

This is a very funny, believable story, and it is expertly executed on the NCT stage.

There’s dancing, drinking, a mellow-inducing enhancer or two, flirting, laughing and surreptitious relationships.

Whether it’s the wine putting people under the table or the fear of being caught in a secret love affair, by the end of the show everyone is looking for love, and you’ll be shouting, “Oh, my word,” through tears of laughter. These girls definitely just wanna have fun.

The show will be at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Tickets can be reserved by calling the box office phone at 641-792-1230, or at the ticket window before the production. General admissions tickets are $12 for adult and $10 for youth. Note: Mature Audience/Adult Content.

Iowa judge fired for dismissing case due to unclear acronym IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa’s prisons agency has fired a judge who cited confusion about an acronym in an inmate’s disciplinary report when she refused to punish him for failing to pay back $10 he borrowed, the judge’s termination letter shows.

Administrative Law Judge Renee Sneitzer alleges her firing amounts to retaliation, renewing questions about the independence of judges who work for the Department of Corrections.

Judges who impose sanctions that can lengthen sentences and

put inmates in solitary confinement are supposed to be neutral fact-finders under the law, but they report to department general counsel Michael Savala.

Critics have said this arrangement could jeopardize their neutrality if they feel pressure to favor the department.

Cardinals face No. 3 Tigers on Friday

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Controlling the game with sustained scoring drives is what Newton High’s Cardinals are setting out to do.

Sometimes the best defense against a quality football team is a good offense.

Newton still is the top rushing football team in Class 4A overall despite los- Pregame ing to Southeast Polk last Outlook Friday night with just 171 yards on the ground. The Cardinals will need to execute well offensively as 4A third-ranked West Des Moines Valley comes to Newton’s H.A. Lynn Stadium on Friday.

Valley sports a 6-1 overall record just like Newton does.

The Tigers are 3-0 in Class 4A District 4 play while the Cardinals are 2-1. The district game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. Friday.

“Our kids are excited about Friday night. They’re focused on playing better than we did against Southeast Polk,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said. “Valley has outstanding offensive skill players — they’re second to none in the state — and as a defensive unit, Valley is very good.”

Taking on Valley is another challenge for the Cardinals, they go into the 4A District 4 game Friday focusing on establishing their top-ranked rushing offense against one of the top defense in the state.

Newton leads 4A with 2,766 yards on 262 carries, which is an 7.6-yard per play average.

Council Bluffs Thomas Jefferson (4-3) is second at 2,655 on 358 carries.

Valley’s only loss was to 4A top-ranked Dowling Catholic.

The Tigers have three wins

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Bring out the Cardinals! Newton High’s seniors lead the way for the 6-1 Cardinals as they prepare for the challenge of Class 4A District 4 play Friday at home against No. 3 West Des Moines Valley’s Tigers. It’s Senior High for Newton at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

over ranked teams in 4A — No. 4 Bettendorf, No. 6 Johnston and No. 7 Waukee. They held Fort Dodge to 14 points and beat Southeast Polk in double overtime, 41-34.

It’s going to be strength against strength when Newton has the football on Friday night. Valley has allowed a total of 729 rushing yards — 104 yards per game — in seven contests. Only two players — Dowling’s Jayson Murray (138) and SEP’s Shane Starcevich (130) — have gained over 100 yards against the Tigers.

Valley’s defense has allowed 1,218 yards passing from opponents, which is 174 yards

per game. It has given up 141 points, 20.1 points per game, while its offense has scored 226 points, 32 per game.

Capitalizing on opportunities offensively and defensively is important for the Cardinals. Ergenbright pointed out his team didn’t do that against Southeast Polk last week.

‘We had about 2 1/2 drives and were able to generate some offense, but Southeast Polk are pretty good defensively and didn’t have a weakness. We were over-matched,” Ergenbright said. “Valley is much the same. They play very physical on defense, they are well coached and they

don’t make mistakes which is why they are successful.”

The Tiger defense has 12 players with double digits in total tackles. It is led by senior Joe Wellman with 31 solo tackles and 24 assisted tackles and junior Jon Shaner with 24 solo stops and 17 assisted tackles.

“We have to execute and sustain drives. Taking four to six minutes off the clock each drive finishing with a score will shorten the game. We want to keep their offense on the sidelines. We have all our personnel on offense for Friday’s game,” Ergenbright said.

“We’re looking to keep them guess and not let them tee off

on us defensively.”

Newton will face another quarterback and running back duo with explosive-play capabilities. Valley’s balanced offense is led by junior quarterback Beau Lombardi, who is 6-foot-2 inches and 216 pounds, and senior tailback Jevon Mason, who is 5-foot10 and 203 pounds.

Mason has 548 yards on 82 carries. The Tigers, as a team, have 1,049 yards on 230 carries.

Lombardi is 94-of-176 for 1,099 yards passing with nine touchdowns and three interceptions. His top target is senior wide receiver Tariq Brown, who has 36 receptions for 372 yards and two TD catches.

“Last week, it was frustrating for us defensively because we had good schemes and players were in position to make plays. We have got to capitalize on having an opponent in the backfield,” Ergenbright said.

“Making those plays behind the line of scrimmage can end drives. We can get our defense off the field. We have to play with more reckless abandon, play with more inspiration on defense against a superior talented team.”

Ergenbright is expecting that inspiration on Friday night led by the team’s seniors, who will play their final home game at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

Several injury updates for the Cardinals. Junior defensive end Mason Lee returned to the lineup last week at Southeast Polk. Senior running back Carson Cazett and senior linebacker Joe Busch could be available to play next week at Indianola.

Bolts could be in for record-setting State qualifying cross country meets are set night in final home game

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Baxter football coach Rob Luther said there is no extra plans to allow senior Travis Lindemoen to set two new all-time receiving records in front of the home fans on Friday night.

But there is no doubt the all-time 8-man records for receiving yards and receiving TDs in a season are both within reach.

Lindemoen will be one of nine seniors honored before the game in the Bolts’ final home contest of the season.

During the game, he could

Area Prep Football Game Previews

make history, needing 196 yards and four TDs to eclipse two different records.

“We actually joked with him that we are going to find ways to not get him the ball,” Luther said. “His answer was that he didn’t care as long as we won the game. He’s not a

Joel Lanning proved me wrong I

will be the first to admit it. I didn’t think Joel Lanning playing linebacker was the best thing for the Cyclones.

When you move from quarterback to linebacker and instantly become a starter, that just shows the lack of depth and talent at the linebacker position.

Lanning has made me re-think that opinion. He’s been great for the Cyclones. And he hasn’t complained about his role at all.

Lanning is an Iowa kid. He grew up in Ankeny and was part of the final football championship at Ankeny High School before the city split into two schools. He was the Hawks’ starting quarterback all four years in high

me kid. It’s been incredible what he has done in seven games, but he’s also had good passes thrown to him and good blocks made for him.”

Lindemoen will try to surpass Coon Rapids-Bayard’s PREP FOOTBALL | 2B

This & That Troy Hyde school. But he never played both ways during that stretch.

Saturday, in Norman, Oklahoma, Lanning did just that.

He played 78 snaps in all. He assumed his normal 2017 role of starting linebacker, took several snaps as the QB in the wildcat formation and also made a tackle on special teams.

That’s incredible. I don’t think I can explain how uncommon that is in this column. What he is doing right now just doesn’t happen nationwide.

I don’t think he should be considered for the Heisman, like some Cyclone fans are saying after his brilliant effort against the Sooners.

Lanning even had 20 tackles against Texas. But he won’t win the Heisman because Iowa State won’t win enough games.

However, the Cyclones are gearing

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High’s Cardinal cross country teams were assigned to the Class 4A state qualifying meet hosted by Marshalltown on Oct. 19.

The Iowa High School Athletic Association and Iowa Girls High School Athletic Union released the 2017 combined cross country state qualifying meet assignments on Tuesday. All meets on Oct. 19 begin at 4 p.m. unless noted.

Prairie City-Monroe’s Mustang teams are in a Class 2A meet which begins at 3 p.m. in Pella. Baxter’s Bolts were

up for a turnaround under head coach Matt Campbell, and Lanning is right in the middle of the transition.

No one knows when Jacob Park will come back from his leave of absence.

Kyle Kempt looked spectacular in Park’s place, but defenses will figure him out. They’ll prepare for what Iowa State does offensively with Kempt at quarterback.

That makes Lanning that much more important to me. He will get snaps at quarterback. He will continue to play both ways. And he will continue to amaze anyone who truly appreciates what he is doing.

Well, one of my closest friends whose a huge baseball fan, asked me the other day who I liked to win the World Series before the playoffs started.

My pick: The Cleveland Indians.

Whoops. The Yankees had other ideas, eliminating the 100-plus win Indians after trailing 2-0 in the series.

There won’t be a World Series rematch.

At this point, I think it will Dodg-

ers-Astros. The Astros made the Boston Red Sox look silly. They are loaded offensively. And have enough pitching to win it all.

The Dodgers to me feel like the Cubs of last year and the Royals of 2015. Midway through the season, when they went on that insane 50game stretch, it felt like it was a destiny type of season for the Los Angeles.

They went through a tough stretch where they looked mediocre. But several star players weren’t playing.

The Dodgers played their cards right. They didn’t need to win those games. Now, with Clayton Kershaw back and the rest of the stars ready to go, the Dodgers swept division rival Arizona with relatively ease.

It’s not going to matter who the Dodgers play. I think the Dodgers are the best team in baseball. And they’ll hoist the championship trophy and pop the bubbly.

But don’t take that to Vegas. My predicted title team is already out.

Prep Football Continued from Page 1B Jacob Esdohr’s 1,398 receiving yards, which he set in 10 games back in 2010.

The current TD record is 26 set by Daniel Duysen of East Mills. Duysen needed 12 games to do that in 2011.

Luther will not see the first part of the game as he will be attending his son Trent’s Senior Night at Ankeny High School. It will be the first time he will miss part of a game since he’s been on the sidelines at Baxter and CMB in the last 21 years.

“This is something I wanted to do and feel I need to do,” Luther said. “I hate missing part of our game, but I need to be a Dad, too. I won’t miss the game. I hope to be in town by halftime.”

The eighth-ranked Bolts (6-1) enter the night on a five-game win streak. They are averaging 63 points during that stretch and will face a Springville team which has surrendered 56 points per game in its current five-game losing streak.

Springville (2-6) has struggled to find its way since running back Henry Hoogland went down with an injury. Hoogland leads Springville with 634 rushing yards and 14 TDs, but he is not expected to play Friday night.

“They are still finding their way on offense,” Luther said. “They have struggled since (Hoogland) went down. But they’ve lined up in several different formations and run a lot of trick plays so we’ll have to be focused and ready and then be prepared to adjust as the game goes on.”

Focus is not something Luther has had issues with this year.

The Bolts got through the toughest part of their schedule with just one loss to No. 2 Remsen-St. Mary’s. They are now fully healthy and have enjoyed their first year in 8-man football.

“They are a pretty hungry group even though we can’t play in the playoffs,” Luther said. “We are excited to be playing at home. The weather ruined last week’s game. The guys are having fun together and enjoying the transition.”

Senior Braydon Aker leads 8-man with 1,937 passing yards and 34 TD passes.

He’s also rushed for 500 yards and scored 11 rushing TDs. Senior Devin Carson leads the defense with 56 tackles, two fumble recoveries and two interceptions, and he’s also rushed for 350 yards and nine scores on offense. Lindemoen has three interceptions, too.

“I would rather have Travis set the records in front of 500 fans rather than 50 fans on the road next week, but I also would love to find a way to get all nine seniors in the scoring column in some way.

That would be better for us than the records this week because its Senior Night.”

Meets Continued from Page 1B Linn-Mar has its boys’ team ranked No. 8 and the girls’ team is ranked No. 9. The CR Kennedy boys are No. 9 and the DM Roosevelt girls are ranked No. 15.

At the 2A meet in Pella, features the top-ranked and No. 2 ranked Mid-Prairie girls and boys, respectively. PCM is also joined by Albia, Centerville, Davis County, Des Moines Christian, Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont, Grundy Center, Interstate 35, Pella Christian, Pleasantville, Roland Story, Van Buren, West Marshall and

The way the Bolts’ offense is playing during their five-game win streak, accomplishing both may be entirely possible.

Baxter and Springville play a half of junior varsity football starting at 5:45 p.m.

That may push back the varsity kickoff to 7:15 p.m. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.

PCM (6-1, 5-0) at Davis County (1-6, 1-4) A win against Davis County locks up a second straight Class 2A District 6 title for PCM. It also will guarantee the Mustangs of a second straight 8-1 regular season as Clarke has already forfeited its Week 9 matchup.

PCM enters the week with six straight wins. The Mustangs are 5-0 in district play and outscoring those opponents 273-48.

The PCM starters have not played a full game since Week 1.

Still, the Mustangs have the fifth most points in 2A with 295 and their 11 fumble recoveries ranks second in the class.

Davis County, whose mascot also is the Mustangs, defeated Clarke 44-0 in Week 5. Besides that game, the team is averaging 8.3 points per game and allowing 42 points per contest.

Davis County has passed for only 290 yards and two TDs in seven games. The Mustangs have gained 1,075 yards on the ground and are averaging 153 rush yards per game.

Leading the offensive attack is senior Collen Allen, who has gained 411 yards and scored three touchdowns. Quarterback JR Zeitler has thrown for 159 yards, rushed for 295 and recovered four fumbles on defense. Zeitler has scored three total TDs, two on offense and one on defense.

Davis County has intercepted eight passes on defense, three coming from Reegan Warning. Warning also has two fumble recoveries and hauled in the other two passing TDs for the team.

Colfax-Mingo (4-4, 3-2) at BGM (2-5, 2-3) One year after winning only one game, the Tigerhawks can guarantee themselves of a non-losing season with a road victory over BGM on Friday.

The winner of this game between South Iowa Cedar League rivals will likely finish fourth in Class A District 5.

Colfax-Mingo enters the game on a three-game winning streak, and BGM has lost three straight.

The Bears are done with the toughest part of their schedule. Four of BGM’s five

Williamsburg.

The PCM girls are just outside the rankings in 2A. Grundy Center’s girls are ranked No. 14 and the Roland Story boys are 13th.

Baxter has three ranked boys’ teams and one ranked girls’ team in its Class 1A state qualifying meet at Mount Ayr. Nodaway Valley, which has the top-ranked boys’ team, Woodward Academy, which is boys only is ranked No. 9 and Earlham’s boys carry the No. 15th ranking. Panorama’s girls are ranked No. 6.

Other schools in the 1A state qualifier with Baxter are AHSTW, Audubon, Bedford, CAM, Central Decatur, Clarinda Acade-

losses have come to No. 5 Lynnville-Sully (32-7), No. 8 Gladbrook-Reinbeck (38-13), No. 3 Hudson (21-14) and Belle Plaine (42-13), which enters Friday at 6-1.

If the Tigerhawks win a fourth straight game, they’ll have to slow down Keegan James and Noah Beck.

James enters the week ranked five in Class A with 1,020 rushing yards and 13 rushing TDs, which ranks tied for third.

He’s also the team’s leading receiver with 13 catches for 159 yards and another TD. Beck has rushed for 314 yards and four scores, returned a kickoff for a score and has three interceptions on defense. He also could be used as a quarterback in the wildcat formation.

BGM ranks first in Class A with 14 fumble recoveries, but Colfax-Mingo is tied for fourth with 12 fumble recoveries.

Zarek Hill and Alex Lewis both have three to rank tied for fourth in the class.

Hill and Lewis are also two of the top receivers in the class. The Tigerhawks are the top passing team in Class A thanks to Reegan Van Dyke’s 1,487 passing yards.

Van Dyke also leads the team with 341 rushing yards and he has combined for 22 TDs. Defensively, Hill ranks first in the class with seven interceptions and also has 34 tackles, one sack and two defensive TDs. Senior Jake Dunsbergen has a team-high 60 tackles.

Lynnville-Sully wraps up district title The Hawks won their two biggest games of the season in back-to-back weeks, knocking off previously unbeaten and state-ranked Pekin in Week 6 and then handing New London its first loss in Week 7.

Those two wins clinched the Class A District 6 title for the Hawks, who are idle this week before playing at Montezuma (3-3 overall, 2-2 in district play) in the final week of the regular season.

Lynnville-Sully is 7-0 overall and 5-0 in district play. New London travels to Pekin on Friday, and that game will decide the runner-up position in the district.

Astrograph

The tall trees know the secret.

Sometimes the only way to grow up is to root down. Of course, home is also different for each person. For some, conventional domestic scenes, such as sitting around a kitchen table with family, just don’t apply. The Cancer moon has us rooting our energy into the places that make us feel comfortable and secure.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 12). New practices started this solar return have you growing richer in health and happiness by the week. Teaching is part of this. The rest of 2017 is about giving others what they need and cannot get on their own. This will not drain

you; instead, it will make you unstoppable. Prizes in November and July will be notable. Cancer and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 18, 9, 30, 2 and 45.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

All frustration is a function of unrealistic expectation.

In fact, frustration is a good way to learn what’s realistic and what’s not. Change the expectation until the frustration evaporates.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Your skills may seem arbitrary, but you acquired each one for a very specific purpose that made sense at the time. Now

you’ll find a new way to apply what you know how to do.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Your emotional health and personal growth will be served by two little words and one punctuation mark.

Give yourself some space and silence and then try this one on for size: “What if?�

CANCER (June 22-July 22). While there are many purposeful connections to be made through social networking, you’d like to find the line between wasting time and getting things done through social media.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You can’t expect the euphoria of an idea to carry through each one of the countless small actions

If you enjoy multi-tasking and a constant change of pace on a daily basis, this could be

YOUR OPPORTUNITY! The successful candidate will be self-

directed and have the ability to communicate effectively with subscribers and carriers. Must possess a positive attitude, excellent organizational skills and the ability to work in a team environment.

Please send resume to:

that need to happen to bring that idea into reality. Tedium is part of the creative process, too. It will be worthwhile to persist!

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). If you think your work doesn’t matter to anyone outside of your little corner of the world, you’re wrong. You’ll be surprised and pleased by the reaction you get from outsiders.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). In order to finally find out what’s possible for you in a certain endeavor, you’ll need to cut out the thing that’s distracting you and taking you away from it. Make the commitment and you’ll be fundamentally changed by it.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’re always on the prowl for new ways of thinking of things and doing things, and you’ll like what you discover today. You have to be willing to suspend a bit of skepticism, though, for long enough to try something out.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

There are some things that are manageable chiefly because you know they will come to an end. When it’s not clear when that end will be, however, they become scary. You can use this principle to set someone at ease today.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Just as it makes no sense to be overly serious about the quest for joy, when the goal is fun, it makes no sense to be hard on yourself along the way.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Because of the day’s events and how you handle them, when your head hits the pillow tonight you will have the sense that you have come to a deeper understanding of the world and your place in it.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). When someone sees your specialness, it’s meaningful.

And when someone treats you like you’re not special, it’s totally fine -- but maybe that person doesn’t belong in your inner circle.

Fantasy Football Matchups

Newton, Wentz face off in battle of first-place teams MATCHUPS TO EXPLOIT

FANTASY FORECAST | WEEK 6

Carolina Panthers

QUARTERBACKS

(VS PHILADELPHIA EAGLES) Cam Newton and Carson Wentz are two of the NFL’s hotter passers, but it’s Carolina, with ascending wideouts Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess, that’s built to outlast the Eagles’ susceptible secondary. Newton last week logged over 300 passing yards for the second consecutive game — a first since Weeks 1 and 2 of his rookie season — adding three touchdowns for a second straight outing.

Although we don’t expect Ed Dickson to channel Greg Olsen again, and Jonathan Stewart and Christian McCaffrey get the NFL’s No. 2 run ‘D,’ it’s impossible to ignore what Carolina’s two power forwards are doing through the air. Funchess is suddenly a target magnet (27 for 18-1813 since Olsen was injured) and scoring machine. Infamously unsure-handed Benjamin’s plucking almost everything in sight, including his first touchdown — a game-winner — Sunday.

RUNNING BACKS

New Orleans Saints

Minnesota Vikings

(VS GREEN BAY PACKERS) The Pack has Aaron Rodgers, but the Vikes have Case Keenum … at least we assume they will after he bailed out Mike Zimmer’s poor handling of still-hobbling Sam Bradford on Monday. Keenum sports a 4:0 touchdown-tointerception ratio and 97.6 rating and has effectively spread the ball around to Minnesota’s suddenly deep receiving stable. The Packers are hurting in the secondary, where Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs each went scorched earth once last season. Jerick McKinnon, fresh off his RB3 overall showing in Minnesota’s first foray without Dalvin Cook, and not Latavius Murray looks like the Vikings’ new RB1 — an advantageous gig with a Packers defense just worn down by Zeke Elliott up next.

MUST START: Stefon Diggs*, Adam Thielen SOLID PLAY: Jerick McKinnon WORTH A LOOK: Case Keenum, Kyle Rudolph

Washington

(VS SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS) Kirk Cousins and his offensive line have progressed each game since a Week 1 dud, and the Niners just cannot get off the field on third down. Before the bye, Cousins had the Chiefs beaten at Arrowhead, if not for Josh Doctson dropping a wouldbe game-winner. Slowly but surely, Cousins’ chemistry is building with Terrelle Pryor, whose 70 yards are his Washington high, including a 44yard touchdown (his first).

The Niners could again be without Eric Reid and Reuben Foster in a back seven that has ceded the most catches and second-most yards to running backs, and Week 4 bad beat deliverer Chris Thompson and a healthy Rob Kelley could feast. Plus, unlike just about everything else, a bye week can’t hurt Jordan Reed.

MUST START: Kirk Cousins, Jordan Reed*, Rob Kelley* SOLID PLAY: Terrelle Pryor, Chris Thompson, Washington D/ST WORTH A LOOK: Josh Doctson

Los Angeles Rams

(AT JACKSONVILLE JAGUARS) They fell to No. 2 in scoring after mustering 10 points and giving away five turnovers at home against the Seahawks.

Jacksonville improved to No. 2 in scoring ‘D’ and first in interceptions after making Big Ben long for Club Med with five picks. We’re buying both club’s transformations, but we don’t need the receipt for the Jaguars ‘D,’ a nasty, playmaking group with bona fide stars at every level. It was a rough Week 5 for the Rams’ brightest stars — Sammy Watkins was held catch-less and now visits perhaps the NFL’s top corner, Jalen Ramsey; Todd Gurley was held to 50 total yards, less than a third of his average. The 21st century L.A. Rams are 1-0 in Florida, but this is Sean McVay’s Rams’ first cross-country trek, after

Cam Newton

(VS DETROIT LIONS) The Lions have surrendered a combined 17 points on the road, where they’re 2-0, and 80 while going 1-2 at home.

Detroit hasn’t had a test away from Ford Field like Sunday’s at the Superdome, where the rested and rejuvenated-on-defense Saints await. The trade of Adrian Peterson and likely debut of Willie Snead should only diversify the options for Drew Brees and Sean Payton, and it’s not as if they need the help. Darius Slay gets another physical force in Michael Thomas, one week after Benjamin beat the Lions’ top corner on a downfield TD. Worse, the Lions’ issues covering tight ends and backs might be reappearing just as Alvin Kamara’s role expands and Coby Fleener looks to break out of a mini skid.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

(AT ARIZONA CARDINALS) Jameis Winston didn’t turn it over in a duel with Tom Brady last week — which is good — although he didn’t turn his defense’s strong showing into an upset, either.

Winston turned it over five times in his last trip to the desert, Week 2 last season, which was not the heat check he sought after a blistering 2016 debut. The Bucs are 2 ½-point favorites on the road, and come off the “mini bye” with a new lead back in refreshed Doug Martin. But this matchup is tougher than last week at home vs. the Patriots, with Patrick Peterson looking to avenge Mike Evans’ 6-70-1 game last season, and Arizona still stout defending the run and seething after getting Wentz’d.

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

Chicago Bears

(AT BALTIMORE RAVENS) Rookie quarterbacks with better weapons than Mitchell Trubisky have struggled vs. John Harbaugh’s Ravens, who’ve never lost against one in 10 tries, per ESPN. Dowell Loggains hasn’t consistently rode his ground game, a clear necessity in Baltimore vs. the NFL’s No. 23 run defense. The Ravens, surprisingly, have had issues covering tight ends despite sound safeties, Eric Weddle and Tony Jefferson. But Trubisky’s targeting his tight ends 44 percent of the time in his NFL debut yielded a fluky touchdown, but also an interception and multiple drops.

Miami Dolphins

(AT ATLANTA FALCONS) What a week, and season, thus far for Adam Gase’s Dolphins. They won their home opener despite gaining 178 yards of offense and losing top playmaking wideout DeVante Parker. Monday their OL coach resigned after the leaking of a social media video that made his star pupil, Laremy Tunsil’s, look like a PG film. Now they head to Atlanta to face a rested Falcons club as 11-point ‘dogs.
