When the voice whispered to Ray Kinsella, “If you build it, he will come,” he knew exactly where to go to get the best advice about building a baseball field in the middle of his Iowa farm in the movie “Field of Dreams.” Kinsella, played by Kevin Costner, went to the Cubs groundskeepers to figure out how to build the best field — Newton Community School District Athletic Director Scott Garvis had the same idea.

The district’s new softball field, which is nearing completion is being constructed by the Iowa Cubs Sports Turf, the same em-

ployees who work on the field at Principal Park in Des Moines.

After meeting Casey Scheidel, the president of Iowa Cubs Sports Turf last spring at the Iowa Athletic Director’s convention, Garvis knew he was the right man for the job. Scheidel’s experience maintaining one of the best minor league parks in the country meant he knew exactly what the district needed to build a great facility of their own.

“They do incredible work.

They do just about anything,” Garvis said.

Scheibel, who describes himself as an “Iowa farm boy” went to college at Iowa State University. He always knew this was what

YMCA to host inaugural Family Fall Festival Trunk-or-Treat to be featured

By Kayla Singletary Newton Daily News It’s not uncommon to welcome autumn by browsing a pumpkin patch for the perfect size pumpkin. During the Newton YMCA’s Family Fall Festival, attendees will have to take a dive into the facility’s pool to retrieve their pumpkins.

YMCA staff are gearing up for the event, which will include trunk-or-treat, a bounce house, Von Air balloon artist extraordinaire and hayrack rides. Members of the YMCA and their families and friends are invited to attend the fall festival from 6 to 8 p.m.

“Families can swim to get their pumpkin,” Rhonda Robson, Associate Executive Director said. “They have the opportunity to paint them and there will be pumpkin races in the pool.”

he wanted to do with his life, and after graduating with a degree in horticulture, he took a job with the Colorado Rockies organization for three years, working on Coors Field in Denver. When an opportunity with the ICubs came open, Scheidel jumped at the chance to move closer to home in 2006.

For years, the ICubs have fielded requests from local high school schools asking them for help building and maintaining their fields, and it wasn’t long before the business started to grow.

Supervisors approve safety measure for accident-prone corner

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Two flashing beacons will be added to Highway T22S near the curve in Killduff following an outpouring of concern. The Jasper County Board of Supervisors approved the addition after hearing from several Killduff residents on Tuesday.

Supervisor Doug Cupples added the topic to the previous meeting agenda because of feedback about the safety of the area, named Killduff corner, and asked the county engineer to bring options for further signage for the board to review.

“We looked into additional warning beacons. We ordered those beacons and they will probably be in around the end of the month,” county engineer Russ

Stutt said. “Once they come in, we will place those to hopefully help reduce the speeds.”

The beacons will be flashing lights placed on the speed limit signs for both northbound and southbound traffic.

They will be solar powered with six hours of charging time lasting approximately three days.

The beacons will also be fitted with a secure lock to prevent theft.

Jasper County Chief Deputy Duane Rozendaal said following the discussions last week, he pulled records dating back to January 2015 for the corner. In that time, there were seven reported motor vehicle incidents from both the northbound and southbound lanes.

Pumpkins, painted: Inaugural Art Night brings families together

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News As families streamed into the gymnasium at Emerson Hough Elementary on Tuesday night Nicki Hornbaker couldn’t have been happier. The first Fall Art Night, organized by Hornbaker and fellow art teacher Katie Craney was a hit. A crowd comprised of 173, including students, their parents, and their siblings turned out for the first of two art nights this year. The second art night, scheduled for April 17 will feature a tie-dye theme, but Tuesday was all about the pumpkins.

The two art teachers, who each split time between Newton’s elementary schools wanted to create an event that would bring children from all four schools to-

Central Iowa Today Today in History

www.newtondailynews.com | Wednesday | Oct. 18, 2017

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Wednesday, Oct. 18, the 291st day of 2017. There are 74 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Oct. 18, 1767, the Mason-Dixon line, the boundary between colonial Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware, was set as astronomers Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon completed their survey.

On this date: In 1685, King Louis XIV signed the Edict of Fontainebleau, revoking the Edict of Nantes that had established legal toleration of France’s Protestant population, the Huguenots.

In 1867, the United States took formal possession of Alaska from Russia. The cornerstone was laid for Baltimore City Hall.

In 1892, the first long-distance telephone line between New York and Chicago was officially opened (it could only handle one call at a time).

In 1931, inventor Thomas Alva Edison died in West Orange, New Jersey, at age 84.

In 1944, Soviet troops invaded Czechoslovakia during World War II. In 1954, Texas Instruments unveiled the Regency TR-1, the first commercially produced transistor radio.

In 1967, the first issue of Rolling Stone magazine (which carried a cover date of Nov. 9) was published.

In 1997, a monument honoring American servicewomen, past and present, was dedicated at Arlington National Cemetery.

Ten years ago: Former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto returned to Pakistan, ending eight years of self-imposed exile; a suicide bombing in a crowd welcoming her killed more than 140 people, but Bhutto escaped unhurt. (However, she was slain in Dec. 2007.)

Five years ago: In a case that would reach the U.S. Supreme Court, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York ruled that a federal law defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman was unconstitutional and said the gay population had “suffered a history of discrimination.”

One year ago: President Barack Obama hosted his final state dinner as he welcomed Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi and his wife, Agnese Landini, to the White House.

The Columbus Dispatch reports that 36-year-old Lawrence Knox swore he was indigent during an Oct. 5 hearing after pleading guilty to a drug charge in Franklin County court. Deputies taking him to be processed for his six-year prison sentence then found he had $4,060 on him.

Entertainment Netflix sinking deeper into debt to fuel subscriber growth SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Netflix is sinking deeper into debt in its relentless pursuit of more viewers, leaving the company little margin for error as it tries to build the world’s biggest video subscription service.

The big burden that Netflix is shouldering hasn’t been a major concern on

Wall Street so far, as CEO Reed Hastings’ strategy has been paying off.

The billions of dollars that Netflix has borrowed to pay for exclusive series such as “House of Cards,” ‘’Stranger Things,” and “The Crown” has helped its service more than triple its global audience during the past four

years — leaving it with 109 million subscribers worldwide through September.

That figure includes 5.3 million subscribers added during the July-September period, according to Netflix’s quarterly earnings report released Monday. The growth exceeded management forecasts and analyst projections. Netflix’s stock rose 1 percent in extended trading, putting it on track to touch new highs Tuesday. The shares have increased by about five-fold during the past four years.

If the subscribers keep coming at the current pace, Netflix may surpass its role model — HBO — within the next few years. HBO started this year with 134 million subscribers worldwide.

“We are running around 100 miles an hour doing our thing around the world,” Hastings said during a review of the third-quarter results.

But Netflix’s subscriber growth could slow if it can’t continue to win programming rights to hit TV series and movies, now that there are more competitors, including Apple , Amazon, Hulu and YouTube.

If that happens, there will be more attention on Netflix’s huge programming bills, and “then we could see an investor backlash,” CFRA Research analyst Tuna Amobi says. “But Netflix has been delivering great subscriber growth so far.”

Netflix’s long-term debt and other obligations totaled $21.9 billion as of Sept. 30, up from $16.8 billion at the same time last year. That includes $17 billion for video programming, up from $14.4 billion a year ago. Most of the programming payments are due within the next five years. Netflix expects to spend $7 billion to $8 billion on programming next year, up from $6 billion this year.

matter of fact, have had listed in regards to weather conditions and all of them were loss of control. The roadway has not changed in 52 years I have been alive,” Rozendaal said. “The county has already made concessions to add reflectors and warning devices but, to a point, I don’t know what we can do. It is just distracted driving.”

Cupples agreed operator error is definitely a big issue but that if one more light helps, it will be worth it. He also mentioned a number of people who go off the roadway but do not report the incident. Chad Squires, who owns land adjacent to the corner said it happens frequently.

“We have had multiple times where they come knocking because they’ve gone off the road and need help,” Squires said. There are also several occasions that I can tell my yard is torn up.”

Local business owner Jon Terlouw agreed there are far more incidents than are reported to officials.

“We own the company on the corner, and we have many of the accidents on camera. More people miss it that don’t turn it in than do,” Terlouw said.

Along with property damage, the residents were concerned about pedestrians, specifically children and workers who frequent the area.

A ball field used by local youth is located directly in front of the corner and has had two vehicles enter center field after losing control on the corner.

“This is something that will help with the flashing lights, which will hopefully be quicker seen than the sign. Humans and still humans, it has probably gotten worse since cell phones and people are driving faster,” Cupples said. “I certainly hope this helps out.”

organization, the ICubs, but groundskeepers from Principal Park work with the staff at Iowa Cubs Sports Turf during breaks in the action during the minor league schedule. This year Scheibel and his crew will build more than 30 fields across the state, including Newton’s new softball field.

“If it’s an athletic field, we build it,” Scheibel said. “This got started because Principal Park was in such great condi-

tion that people thought we’d be able to mimic that work elsewhere.”

Building a great field is only part of the equation, Scheibel said that Iowa Cubs Sports Turf also has to be mindful of working within a budget, which is often the most important aspect of school district projects like the new softball field in Newton.

“At the end of the day, the low bid is the one that gets picked,” Scheibel said. “I guess we’ve found a happy medium.”

Even though it’s being built by the same crew, the softball

field won’t be exactly like the field at Principal Park. The ICubs field is built on a sand base, and most of the fields that Scheibel constructs for high schools are built on a soil base, including Newton. A different type of sod is used as well, but the same quality of work and attention to detail is evident throughout the project. Garvis said the district can’t wait to see the completed field.

“It looks really nice, and when it’s all done it’s going to be gorgeous. It’s really coming together nicely,” Garvis said.

Work on the project is on

schedule, and this Thursday Iowa Cubs Sports Turf employees will start laying the sod to complete the outfield, which was delivered earlier this week.

Garvis said the new scoreboard is ready to be installed, and once the sod work is complete, landscaping will begin in earnest.

The school district will dedicate the field May 21 during the first home game of the year.

“We’re really looking forward to it,” Garvis said.

For parent Kasey Frosch-Machuta, the event was a welcome opportunity to spend more time with kids.

“I just wanted to spend some time with my family, I work a lot, so this means a lot to me,” Frosch-Machuta said. “It’s great to watch the kids be artistic, just to see each of them as individuals.”

Each of Frosch-Machuta’s four kids brought their own pumpkins to the art night, but they all took turns painting each of the pumpkins together. Frosch-Machuta said she couldn’t be happier to have a chance to spend some extra time with her kids.

“I love doing this stuff, it actually gives you some family time together,” Frosch-Machuta said.

My Blue Heaven

So It Goes David Dolmage

I

t’s amazing the things we hold on to, isn’t it? I couldn’t have been more than 8 or 9 years old when my mom bought the book for me, and it’s survived countless moves around the country over the years. The pages are worn and creased, and the paperback binding has the long, spidery ridges that books develop when they’ve been read over and again. On Sunday night after I watched Justin Turner jack a home run deep into center field to give the Dodgers a walk off victory against the Cubs and a 2-0 series lead, I went back and pulled it off the shelf in my office. It was time to read “Out of the Blue” again.

“Out of the Blue” is Orel Hershiser’s account of the magical ‘88 season.

That season represented the last World Series in franchise history, but after 29 years there’s magic in the air again.

Every fan remembers where they got in, that crucial moment where they became a fan, where they decided that this, this team, would be their team.

This was my moment, where I got in.

It’s part baseball book, and part life lesson. Known as the Bulldog to his teammates, Hershiser’s lessons are simple; work hard and never give up.

I don’t think my mom had any idea how much of an impact that $5.99 paperback would have on my life when she bought it for me one morning at Walgreens. A voracious reader, by that point I was reading a couple of books a week, and instead of going to summer camps like my brother, I sat around the house all summer, my nose buried in a book. One of many, it stuck out, and it ignited a spark. I wanted to know everything I could about the team, and I started follow-

ing them through the box scores in the back of the Des Moines Register every morning.

Those box scores, and the occasional Sports Illustrated article I’d read at the library were the only sources of information back then. We didn’t have cable, and other than a smattering of Cubs games, only postseason games were on TV. Now I can watch the games on my phone, and my email inbox is full of Dodgers content to read every morning. Exciting times we live in.

Airfare is a lot cheaper than it used to be too, which is why last weekend I bought a cheap ticket at the last minute and flew to Los Angeles for game one of the National League Championship Series. In the last four years I haven’t missed a single postseason game at Dodger Stadium, and while I knew I wouldn’t be able to hold on forever, I wasn’t ready to give up just yet.

It feels a little different now, not living so close to the stadium. I haven’t been to a game all year, catching

little moments sporadically from the highlight shows. There’s some new faces, and some of the old ones aren’t around anymore. I still miss Vin Scully, the Dodgers longtime announcer, but at least organist Nancy Bea is still tickling the ivories every night.

And the game itself? Magical, there’s no other word. It’s a strange feeling to connect to something with so many other people, but there’s absolutely nothing you can do about it.

We cheered, and we hoped for the best. Last fall, the Dodgers couldn’t get past the Cubs in the postseason, but on Saturday night it was Chicago that couldn’t get past Clayton Kershaw, the Dodgers ace.

My fling was over too quick, I was back in Des Moines before I knew it, my jersey tucked safely in my carry on. I’ll be wearing it Wednesday while I watch the game, hoping to see the Dodgers sweep the Cubs out of the playoffs. After 29 years, it’s time to head back to the World Series.

American Conservative Ben Shapiro

‘Raising awareness’ isn’t helping much “Awareness must be raised.”

“A spotlight must be brought to this crucial issue.”

“We must all think about our own culpability.”

These tired nostrums are repeatedly deployed in our politics to explain why someone complains about a broad problem or tells a specific story of victimization without accompanying evidence that would allow us to act. Accusations of institutional racism rarely come along with specific allegations regarding specific police officers. If allegations and names were included, we could all look at the evidence and determine whether or not to call for consequences. Stories of sexual assault and harassment at work are often told without naming names. If those names were named, authorities could investigate; the media could begin collecting data; and we could do something about it.

But that would be useful. We don’t want useful measures. We want to note how terrible things are generally.

Why? What drives us to ignore the obvious fact that most Americans oppose specific evils and would side against those evils when presented with evidence of them occurring?

Perhaps it’s our innate drive toward establishing a feeling of moral superiority. You don’t get to feel morally superior when you name someone who acts in criminal fashion; you’re just a witness, and witnesses are useful members of society, bettering society actively rather than criticizing it from the outside.

Or perhaps it’s the burden that comes along with evidence. It’s much easier to gain sympathy by telling a story about victimization without naming names — a story nobody can contradict, since you’re not getting specific. In fact, if you do get too specific about allegations of sexual assault, as actress Lena Dunham did, your allegations might be called into question. And if you do get too specific about allegations of police racism and brutality, as the Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett did, your accusations might be debunked.

So, is it worthwhile to complain about generalized problems without providing specific instances upon which we can agree and against which we can fight? Only on a marginal level — and in some ways, it’s actually tremendously counterproductive. It may be useful to “raise awareness” among police officers about being careful in their procedures so as not to be accused of racism, for example. It may be useful to “raise awareness” among men in offices about being careful around female employees so as not to be accused of harassment. But it may also be counterproductive to rage against the system generally because it leads to false and widespread perceptions that all police officers are cursed with the original sin of racism, or that all men are cursed with “toxic masculinity.”

So, here’s an idea: Let’s all call out bad action when we see it and be as specific as possible about it. We can all agree on what a bad guy looks like; there isn’t much debate about Harvey Weinstein.

But if we continue to promote the importance of “raising awareness” rather than providing evidence, our groundless distrust for one another is bound to grow and metastasize.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

Grassley Q&A: Renewable Fuel Standard With U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley Q: What’s at stake with proposed regulations that would reduce the Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) for 2018 and 2019?

A: Congress enacted the RFS and other policies to boost U.S. energy security and energy independence, strategic measures designed to drive innovation and growth of renewable fuels.

Accelerating production and use of homegrown renewables helps the environment, strengthens the economy, fosters job creation, grows consumer choice at the pump, creates new markets for farmers, revitalizes investment in Rural America and displaces foreign fuels. Regulatory delays or watering down this bipartisan law run afoul of congressional intent. What’s worse, it causes uncertainty for farmers, job creators, lenders and investors who make critical decisions based on volume requirements established by Congress. President Trump has made crystal clear his steadfast support for renewable fuels. Today’s marketplace includes conventional and advanced biofuels.

The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposal to revise biomass-based diesel volumes for 2018 will cloud the horizon for next generation fuels, likely causing the market for clean-burning fuels to veer off course. The last thing

America needs is a misguided detour off the course of pursuing energy independence and responsible stewardship of Earth’s resources. With the president’s full-throated support for renewables on record time and again, the EPA needs to do its job and heed the president’s support for renewable fuels. The RFS leverages America’s frontier of next generation biofuels and primes the pump for innovation and investment.

As a long-time advocate for renewable energy, I’m working to make sure the EPAabides by the intent of Congress when it first authorized the RFS under the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and expanded it under the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007.

Q: What are you doing to straighten this out and how can Iowans make their voices heard?

A: There’s a lot riding on the final rule for which the EPA has signaled an intent to lower the biomass-based biodiesel, advanced biofuel and total renewable fuel volumes for the next two years. Investment in infrastructure, new technology and production capacity hang in the balance. And make no mistake, reversing course on the RFS is bad news for the grain belt during harvest season and next year’s planting season; it invites big-time uncertainty for the entire supply chain, from farmers to seed dealers, grain brokers,

biofuel producers and fuel retailers. I’ve scheduled a meeting in my office with the EPA administrator and other lawmakers to make our case and set the record straight on this drastic rule-making reversal. Rolling back minimum volume levels for renewable fuels would roll back America’s commitment to clean energy and a commitment to America’s farmers who already are under financial pressure with a fourth-year decline in commodity prices. This month I completed my 37th consecutive year meeting with Iowans in all 99 counties. Driving across the state, I saw farmers hard at work in the fields, harvesting crops that will fuel and feed the world. One of my stops this month was in Newton, home to one of Iowa’s 13 biodiesel refineries that bring critical economic development, wage growth and jobs to the surrounding communities.

Iowa is the leading biodiesel-producing state in the nation, with the capacity to contribute 397 million gallons to the nation’s fuel supply. Studies show the industry supports3,800 jobs in Iowa, adding $480 million to the state’s economy and boosting cash receipts for farmers. I will make these points loud and clear during my meeting with the head of the EPA and seek assurances that he is on the same page with the president and his commitment to the nation’s farmers and Rural America.

Plans to attend bachelor party cause man’s girlfriend angst DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend of two years will be attending a bachelor party in Las Vegas. We’ve never had any issues of infidelity, yet I can’t help but feel anxious about his upcoming trip. I know the scene that exists in Vegas — I’m in my mid-20s and I enjoyed my trips there when I was younger and single.

I’m worried about him and his friends going to strip clubs, topless pool parties, etc. I don’t mind him enjoying a trip and going out with the boys, but I think attending an event with nudity is disrespectful to the other person when you’re in a long-term, serious relationship. I don’t want him to feel he has to tell his friends he can’t go to those things. What are your thoughts on this? — WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS ...

DEAR WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS: You and your boyfriend are both adults. Viewing topless entertainment or attending a topless pool party is not infidelity. If he hasn’t given you any reason to worry so far, give him the benefit of the doubt.

P.S. By the way, I have heard that some bachelorette parties can be equally wild. Do you plan to swear off them yourself?

DEAR ABBY: My wife hates Facebook. She has always hated it and never signed up. I have had an account since the site began and maintain many connections with friends, family members who live far away, old teachers — even my in-laws. I don’t discuss it with my wife much because it makes her angry.

I’m not constantly on it, and it’s not like I’m doing anything bad. But if she hears from a friend about a funny or insightful comment I made on Facebook, we end up getting into a huge argument because she insists I have to delete my account. The argument always ends with her saying, “You will delete it because I hate it!”

I don’t want to delete my Facebook page, and I hate arguing with my wife. What should I do? — “LIKES” FACEBOOK IN RALEIGH, N.C.

DEAR “LIKES” FACEBOOK: Try to get to the bottom of why she finds your staying in touch with these people threatening, because it appears you married someone who is very controlling. She is your spouse, not your jailer. If you want to participate in social media, continue to do so.

Although you didn’t mention it, I can’t help but wonder if her jealousy and possessiveness have affected other areas of your life. If that’s the case, talk about it with a licensed marriage and family therapist before it drives the two of you apart. If she won’t go with you, go alone.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a doctor. I give free medical advice to my cousin and her mother several times a month, and have for quite some time now. I do it free of charge because we are family and there’s a close bond between us.

My cousin works in marketing, so I asked her if she could help me design my presentation card. She replied that she would give me three designs to choose from, and it would cost roughly $100. I feel it’s wrong for her to charge me for her service since I’ve never charged her. — FREE OF CHARGE IN CALIFORNIA DEAR FREE OF CHARGE: It’s possible your cousin was asking to be reimbursed for the cost of the MATERIALS involved in creating the cards for you. Before you allow yourself to get into a snit, perhaps you should clarify exactly what you would be paying for.

Agency says hunter injured ankle in 23-foot fall INDIANOLA — Authorities say a deer hunter injured an ankle while ascending to a tree stand in south-central Iowa.

The Iowa Natural Resources Department says 24-year-old Bobbie Stephens, of Indianola, fell about 23 feet into a ravine Sunday in southern Warren County.

Stephens was able to call a hunting partner for help and eventually was taken to a Des Moines hospital.

3 Courts accept paper filings amid computer outage

DES MOINES — The electronic system used by lawyers, judges and clerks to file Iowa court records is temporarily out of service statewide.

Court system spokesman Steve Davis said the Electronic Data Management System had spotty availability Monday and went down statewide all day Tuesday.

He says security patches that were installed Friday “caused or exacerbated system performance issues” and that hacking isn’t suspected.

Nestle cutting nearly 60 jobs at Iowa plant WAVERLY — Officials say nearly 60 jobs will be lost in a cutback at a Nestle plant in northeast Iowa. The company plans to phase out 49 hourly jobs and seven salaried positions at its Waverly plant by the end of next year. The staff of nearly 255 workers makes various products, including hot cocoa mix.

Employees were notified Monday about the cutback. Company officials say the cutback is part of a Nestle effort to streamline operations so products can be brought to market faster and more economically.

5 Northern Iowa murder case goes to jury

CHARLES CITY — Jurors are expected to resume deliberations Wednesday in the trial of a man charged with murder in northern Iowa.

The case against Antoine Williams was turned over to the panel on Tuesday in Charles City.

Prosecutors say he shot and killed 36-yearold Nathaniel Fleming on June 30 in Charles City. Police have said Williams shot Fleming, of Mason City, several times before pulling Fleming out of a vehicle and fleeing the scene.

Grassley threatens Trump EPA nominees over biofuels mandate WASHINGTON (AP) — A Republican senator said Tuesday he may seek to block President Donald Trump’s nominees for key posts at the Environmental Protection Agency unless the administration backs off a proposed reduction in the volume of biofuels blended into gasoline and diesel.

Sen. Chuck Grassley of Iowa said he plans to speak with EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt about the Renewable Fuel Standard. Pruitt has proposed targets for 2017 and 2018 set slightly below current levels following a push by oil companies to ease mandates for using ethanol from corn and soybeans.

Grassley said EPA’s proposed rollback would result in job losses in his home state. Pruitt’s position is in contrast to the staunch support for the biofuel industry Trump pledged as a presidential candidate last year.

“I’ve made it clear that EPA’s latest proposal under the RFS would break the president’s and Administrator Pruitt’s commitment on this issue,” Grassley said Tuesday in a phone call with reporters from his home state.

“It would hurt rural America and also hurt Iowa.”

Asked what leverage he had to get Pruitt to do what he wanted, the veteran senator immediately replied: “Hold up EPA nominees. I think there’s plenty of senators would do that.”

AP Photo In this file photo, Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, arrives at the Capitol in Washington. Grassley said Oct. 17 he may seek to block President Donald Trump’s nominees for key posts at the Environmental Protection Agency unless the administration backs off a proposed reduction in the volume of biofuels blended into gasoline and diesel.

In a letter to Pruitt sent Monday, a bipartisan group of 33 senators urged him to change his position and support increases for biomass-based diesel and other biofuels.

EPA did not respond Tuesday to a message seeking comment.

A meeting of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works is set for Wednesday to consider Trump’s nominations of four

people he’s tapped to serve as assistant administrators at EPA. Democrats have already said they will oppose Trump’s nominees, meaning the defection of only one Republican on the committee could potentially sink them. Of the committee’s 11 Republicans, three — Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa, Sen. Deb Fischer of Nebraska and Jerry Moran of Kansas — signed the letter to Pruitt.

Opioid sales expected to drop in Iowa for 2017 DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa is on track to see a 10 percent decline of opioid sales for 2017 amid national concerns about the abuse of such prescriptions.

The executive director of the Iowa Board of Pharmacy, Andrew Funk, relayed the information on Monday to a legislative committee studying opioid abuse.

Funk said Iowa health care practitioners are trimming prescriptions of opioid painkillers and other addictive pills. He said the state is expected to reach about 270 million prescription pills sold for 2017, down from 301 million pills sold last year.

Funk said this year’s total still comes to 90 pills for each man, woman and child in the state.

The totals are determined by Iowa’s Prescription Drug Monitoring system, which tracks pharmacies’ sales of addictive prescription medications.

Committee members said the figures are a promising development amid a national epidemic of abuse of addictive narcotics.

Rep. David Heaton, a Mount Pleasant Republican who co-chairs the committee, said it’s too soon to determine if the reduction in prescriptions made a big difference.

“People are still dying,” he said.

About 200 Iowa residents died last year of overdoses related to opioids, including prescription pills and heroin, state experts said Experts nationwide have urged doctors, nurse practitioners and dentists to be selective in prescribing painkilling pills. They want health care professionals to consider other methods of pain control; limit the number of pills given in each prescription order; and watch for signs that patients might be becoming addicted to their medications.

Memo: Secret wait list kept for some VA appointments OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Employees of a veterans health care system for Nebraska and western Iowa maintained an unauthorized, secret waiting list of veterans for some Omaha mental health appointments, according to U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs documents.

The list dodged strict VA requirements for establishing and maintaining waiting lists, according to a compliance of-

ficer’s memo to the director of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ Nebraska-Western Iowa Health Care System. The compliance officer’s audit included whistleblower complaints made about unauthorized lists for appointments at the VA’s mental health psychotherapy clinic in Omaha.

The VA set up strict requirements for establishing waiting lists following a 2014 scandal

that showed VA employees were covering up chronic delays with false paperwork and secret lists.

It was reported in 2016 that 40 medical facilities maintained secret lists. The Omaha facility had not been among those 40.

VA officials acknowledged the audit’s conclusions but wouldn’t say how many Nebraska or western Iowa veterans were affected. They also declined to say who kept the unau-

thorized list and why, or say how many employees were involved.

“Although no adverse patient outcomes occurred, some veterans waited longer for psychotherapy treatment,” the VA said in a statement. “Employees involved with this situation were held accountable; however, none was terminated from employment.”

National Teen Driver Safety Week: ‘The haunting reality of teen driving’ This week and every week, parents should have conversations with their teens about the important rules they need to follow to stay safe behind the wheel. These rules address the greatest dangers for teen drivers: alcohol, inconsistent or no seat belt use, distracted and drowsy driving, speeding, and number of passengers.

Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for teens (15 to 18 years old) in the United States — ahead of all other types of injury, disease, or violence. Nationally there were 1,972 teen drivers of passenger vehicles involved in fatal motor vehicle traffic crashes in 2015. An estimated 99,000 teen passenger vehicle drivers were injured in motor vehicle traffic crashes.

Alcohol: In 2015, almost one out of five teen passenger vehicle drivers involved in a fatal crash had been drinking. Remind your teen that driving under the influence of any impairing substance, including illicit or prescription drugs, could have deadly consequences.

File Photo National Teen Driver Safety Week provides a reminder to all parents to have a discussion about safe driving with their teen driver. Making sure young drivers understand the rules and risk involved behind the wheel can help them become better, safer drivers.

Seat Belts: Wearing a seat belt is one of the simplest ways for teens to stay safe in a vehicle. In 2015, a total of 531 passengers died in passenger vehicles driven by teen drivers. And, 58 percent of those passengers were NOT wearing their seat belts at the time

of the fatal crash. Even more troubling, in 84 percent of cases when the teen driver was unbuckled, the passengers were also unbuckled.

Distracted Driving: Distractions while driving are more than just risky — they can be deadly. In 2015, among

teen drivers involved in fatal crashes, 10 percent were reported as distracted at the time of the crash.

Speeding: In 2015, almost one-third (29 percent) of all teen passenger vehicle drivers involved in fatal crashes were speeding at the time of the

crash.

Passengers: Research shows that the risk of a fatal crash goes up in direct relation to the number of passengers in a car. The likelihood of teen drivers engaging in risky behavior triples when traveling with multiple passengers.

Drowsy Driving: Teens are busier than ever: studying, extracurricular activities, parttime jobs, and spending time with friends are among the long list of things they do to fill their time. However, with all of these activities, teens tend to compromise something very important—sleep.

This is a dangerous habit that can lead to drowsy driving.

In 2015 we lost 52 young drivers in Iowa under the age of 21 in motor vehicle crashes. The Iowa Department of Public Safety and the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau encourages you to talk to your teen drivers about safe driving practices. Losing even one is one too many, don’t you think?

Jasper County celebrates Red Ribbon week The Jasper County Health Department, Jasper County Substance Abuse Coalition and Youth Prevention Awareness invite the community to take a visible stand against drugs by celebrating Red Ribbon Week from Oct. 23-31.

Red Ribbon Week raises awareness of drug use and the problems related to drugs facing our community, and encourages parents, educators, business owners, and other community organizations to promote drugfree lifestyles.

This year’s celebration will kick off with a poster contest for high school students in Jasper County. The winner will have their poster professionally printed and displayed throughout the county.

Activities scheduled throughout the week include a coloring activity for elementary. The students will also receive necklaces from the Jasper County Health Department with funds from The Jasper County Community Foundation for Kids Injury Prevention. The necklaces state “Our School Rocks; Bully and Drug Free” and are shaped like

guitars. The back reads “Band together against bullies and tune out drugs.”

The Jasper Community Foundation funded Jasper County Kids Injury Prevention including activities for Red Ribbon Week.

Pom-poms that read “Cheer for a Drug Free Year.”, along with the AFSCME Union purchased red mini footballs. The pom-poms and footballs will be distributed by cheerleaders at all of the schools in Jasper County.

“Red Ribbon Week encourages our entire community to adopt healthy, drug-free lifestyles,” said Chief Rob Burdess, Director of the Jasper County Substance Abuse Coalition. “The campaign brings together parents, schools, and businesses as we look for innovative ways to keep kids and communities drug free.”

Since 1988, the red ribbon has symbolized a continuing commitment to reducing the demand for illicit drugs in our communities. In 1985, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) Special Agent Enrique S. “Kiki” Camarena was killed by drug traffickers.

Shortly, after Camarena’s death, citizens from his hometown of Calexico, California began wearing red ribbons to remember him and commemorate his sacrifice. The first official Red Ribbon Week celebration was created by the National Family Partnership (NFP) in 1988. NFP continues to coordinate the campaign for families, schools and communities across the nation each year.

“Red Ribbon Week gives us the opportunity to be vocal and visible in our efforts to achieve a drug-free community,” said Chief Burdess. “Research shows that children are less likely to use alcohol and other drugs when parents and other role models are clear and consistent in their opposition to substance use and abuse.”

Aquagirls capture 2nd straight LHC title

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News INDIANOLA — Fast times at Indianola Y. NCMP’s Aquagirls recorded some of their fastest times of the season Tuesday night in defending their Little Hawkeye Conference swimming championships — varsity and junior varsity. The Aquagirls competed against Grinnell, Oskaloosa and host Indianola at the Indianola YMCA. NCMP’s varsity set it’s sights on repeating as LHC champions and to do so it had to get past Indianola, a team which narrowly beat NCMP at the Southeast Polk Ram Relays this season. Mission accomplished by scoring 365 points to win as Indianola was second with 346 points.

We had a great meet last night. The girls were super pumped up and ready to take on rival Indianola,” NCMp head coach Sarah Patterson said.

“They had beaten us by four points and one point earlier in the year, so we wanted to win this title. We wore fake tattoos and took the pool by storm.”

Grinnell finished third with 229 and Oskaloosa had 137 points for fourth. The Aquagirls won seven swimming events in the varsity division.

It was the first meet where I felt the whole team was performing to a top level,” Patterson said. “The coaches were so proud of these ladies.”

The NCMP junior varsity won the LHC division for the second straight year. It also won seven races on its way

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News NCMP junior Lakin Jenkins finished third in the 100-yard backstroke in Tuesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference swim meet at Indianola. The NCMP varsity won seven races, and racked up enough team points to win its second consecutive LHC team championship. The NCMP junior varsity did the same in its division.

to 336 team points. Indianola was second with 318 followed

by Grinnell with 113 points and Oskaloosa with 48 points.

Junior Lindsey Blommers was a double individual LHC champion. She defended her 100-yard breaststroke title in dominating fashion, 1 minute, 8.49 seconds, as the sec-

ond-place finisher touched in 1:12.58. NCMP’s sophomore Allison Paulius took fourth in 1:16.63.

Bolts blast Royals, win first postseason match

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — Senior Jordynn Wesselink and sophomore Amber Weltha have a little in-house competition going against each other this season.

They wanted the best for each other, but they also liked to be better than the other when it comes to individual statistics.

Wesselink told Weltha before Tuesday’s postsea-

son opener that she wanted to match the number on her jersey for kills. Weltha responded by saying she was going for 22, one more than Wesselink’s 21.

Neither one reached 20 kills against Colo-NESCO during a Class 1A Region 3 first-round match, but the hitting duo was still dominant during the Bolts’ three-game sweep.

Wesselink finished with 16 kills, 11 digs and four aces and Weltha added 13

kills as Baxter advanced to Monday’s regional quarterfinals with a 25-10, 2512, 25-12 home win.

“They have been doing that off and on all season,” Baxter coach Scott Ranck said. “We haven’t always been consistent with our passing. It was all clicking tonight. The good hits they had were also because we had good passes and good sets, too.”

Hawks end season in 1A regional match

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks could not get things going their direction in Tuesday’s Class 1A Region 4 volleyball match.

The Hawks were playing on their home court but visiting Collins-Maxwell’s Spartans had the momentum.

The Spartans never trailed in any of the three sets as they swept the Hawks, 25-16, 25-13, 2513. Collins-Maxwell advances to the second round of Region 4 play on Monday at North Tama.

Lynnville-Sully’s 2017 season came to an end in front of a home crowd. The Hawks ended up with a 16-13 overall record. They finished fifth in the South Iowa Cedar League conference race.

A three-point serving run by the Spartans put them up 4-1 in the first set. Lynnville-Sully stayed within striking distance, down 117. The Hawks narrowed the gap to two, 14-12 on kills by juniors Shiloh Cunningham and Carson Fisk with senior McKinley Conover serving.

The Hawks were unable to keep the serve. Collins-Maxwell went on a five-point surge and Lynnville-Sully couldn’t respond, losing 25-16.

The second set went much the same way. Lynnville-Sully fell behind early, 7-4, kept it close for several rotations then the Spartans had three serving stints of two and three points each.

HAWKS | 6B

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Lynnville-Sully senior Camryn Russell uses a jump serve during Tuesday’s Class 1A Region 4 match at home against Collins-Maxwell. Russell had four service points in the match which was won by the visiting Spartans, 25-16, 25-13, 25-13.

A year after first title, Cubs fall behind Dodgers 3-0 CHICAGO (AP) — Kyle Schwarber had the fans roaring, thinking the Chicago Cubs just might be ready to tighten the NL Championship Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Turns out, his first-inning was about all they had to cheer.

Yu Darvish shut down Chicago after Schwarber went deep, and the Cubs are on the verge of being swept in the NLCS for the second time in three years after Tuesday’s night’s 6-1 loss.

After knocking out Los Angeles last fall en route to their first World Series championship since consecutive titles in 1907 and 1908, hopes of another parade are just about dashed.

“Tomorrow is a Game 7. We have three or four Game 7s in a row coming up right now,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said.

Jake Arrieta will try to keep the series going for the Cubs when he opposes Alex Wood on Wednesday night.

But unless the Cubs get their hitting and bullpen in order, this season could come to a close.

The Cubs have been in tough spots before, rallying from a 3-1 deficit to beat Cleveland in seven games for the title last year. They also pulled out a wild victory at Washington in Game 5 of the Division Series this month after failing to close out the Nationals at Wrigley Field.

But they are hitting .160 with four extra-base hits through three games.

Chicago managed just one run and six hits in 6 1/3 innings against Yu Darvish.

Yankees 6, Astros 4 NEW YORK (AP) — With a soaring shot headed for Monument Park, Aaron Judge got New York back on course for another memorable October.

Judge ignited a comeback with a home run , then hit a tying double during a four-run eighth inning to spur the unflappable Yankees over the Houston Astros 6-4 Tuesday night and tie the AL Championship Series 2-2.

The Baby Bombers trailed 4-0 against starter Lance McCullers Jr. until Judge homered leading off the seventh. He tied it with a line drive that nearly left the park in the eighth and scored when Gary Sanchez hit a go-ahead two-run double off loser Ken Giles.

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PELLA — Colfax-Mingo senior Ries Wilson reached another milestone Tuesday, but the Tigerhawk volleyball team had its season ended by Pella Christian during a Class 2A Region 5 opener.

Wilson surpassed 1,000 career digs against the Eagles, but Pella Christian advanced with a 25-8, 25-13, 25-14 home win.

Wilson

Earles

Colfax-Mingo ends its season at 11-18. Pella Christian (19-15) advanced to Monday’s

regional quarterfinal game against Van Meter.

Wilson finished with a team-high seven kills and 13 digs. She finished the season with 388 kills and a career-best 305 digs. Her career ended with 1,250 kills and 1,002 digs.

Senior setter Megan Earles tallied 11 assists and seven digs in the loss. She finished with 527 assists and a career-best 202 digs in 2017 and ended her career with 1,736 assists and 620 digs.

Bolts Continued from Page 1B The Bolts (13-13) defeated Colo-NESCO in straight sets in late September. Nearly three weeks later, Baxter was even better against the Royals the second time around.

“I was really nervous. I had to walk in and take a deep breath when I got here,” Wesselink said. “I knew we could do it, but sometimes you beat a team and they come back and beat you the next time.

Upsets happen so you never know.

“We have taken teams lightly before. We came out strong tonight though. We played well.”

The Bolts never trailed in any of the three sets Tuesday.

Wesselink and Weltha got the scoring going with backto-back kills and the lead grew to 10-2.

Weltha had four kills and a block in the first 10 Baxter points. The sophomore has 150 more kills than she had last season.

“I found my passion for volleyball again. Jordynn has helped me a lot, too,” Weltha said. “We push each other in practice. We both yell at each other when we miss a ball.

It’s been a great motivator for both of us.”

The Bolts kept the pressure on the Royals (5-16) when senior Mary Schabilion got into the act at the net with a pair of kills. Pair that with a Sydney Schmidt kill and several errors by the Royals and Baxter led 20-7.

Baxter got on the board in the match with a 25-10 win.

“I feel like we have had times where we don’t play well in a particular game sometimes,” said Baxter senior libero Sailor Hinegardner, who

finished with 11 digs. “That didn’t happen tonight. I don’t know what was different. We were just clicking.”

Wesselink shined in the second set. The Bolts got out to a 6-0 lead and then back-toback aces by the senior made it 10-1. She tallied consecutive kills later in the frame to put Baxter up 17-9 and then another kill extended the lead to 21-10.

Weltha got the Bolts closer to a 2-0 lead with a kill at 2312, and they eventually won 25-12.

“I get a little excited. I can’t

contain my love for them,” Hinegardner said of Wesselink and Weltha. “I can tell when those two are going to put it down. I love those girls, and they hit it well tonight.”

The Royals started out well in the final set. Baxter broke up a 6-5 advantage with a 7-1 run that included kills by Wesselink and freshman Hallee Rainsbarger.

Senior Lexi Ewing served up an ace to push the lead 16-6 and then Wesselink and Weltha brought home the victory with a dominant finish.

kills down the stretch to help Baxter complete the sweep.

“This is tournament time.

Everyone is 0-0 and anything can happen,” Ranck said. “We just needed to stay focused. We worked hard on serve receive and really trying to hit the ball hard at the net. It was great to see the stuff we worked on in practice this week translate into tonight’s game.”

Ranck said his team had no problem staying focused despite the Bolts sweeping the Royals fairly easily earlier this season. Hinegardner said the team treated Tuesday like a normal match.

“We talked about it. We tried to treat this match like a normal game and not overlook anyone,” Hinegardner said. “They are a good team, and we knew we couldn’t take them lightly.”

The Bolts won their first playoff game as a program.

They’ll try to get a second postseason win against another familiar opponent, GMG, on Monday.

Baxter swept the Wolverines (8-16) in late September, but two of the three sets were decided by two points.

“The win is big for us and our program, but we don’t want to stop here,” Ranck said.

“We want to get a second one, too.”

Weltha and Wesselink combined for 29 of the team’s 40 kills, but Rainsbarger tallied four and sophomore Bekka Watt chipped in three.

Schmidt dished out 27 assists.

Ewing was 14-of-14 in serves, while Schabilion was 17-of-19 and Wesselink hit on 13-of-15.

Baxter plays GMG at 7 p.m.

Monday in Garwin.

Let this be a sign that your mind is open, as great minds tend to be.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Your quickness to laugh might get you in trouble every once in a while, but usually it’s an asset. You find that it’s just easier to get things done when you have a sense of humor about them.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Like a child who loads up a plate at the buffet table and then can’t eat nearly the quantity, you’ve ambitions you may not be able to digest. So go in slowly. You can always go back for more later if you need to.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Every single person on the earth has had past misfortunes, even

641-792-5320

a newborn baby (birth is no picnic). So you’ll be slow to call anyone out, honk your horn in traffic or get overly frustrated with the general inconvenience of (SET ITAL) other people.(END ITAL) VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

There are many things you can give a person that do not cost money and are in fact more valuable than money.

Hope, kindness, attention and affection are free, and you’ll wisely be generous with them now.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

The advances in thought come when you mix categories. This could mean genres, disciplines, cultures, genders, ages and more. Cross-pollination will bring the best solutions.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

You’re at a crucial juncture in a project or relationship. You can’t stay where you stand now, but there’s something blocking the path, too. Still, you can either find a way to move forward or find an excuse not to.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Some of the work you’ve been doing is unnecessary.

That’s OK! You couldn’t have known what was necessary before you started. As you drop the superfluous actions, you’ll get faster and more elegant.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Just because a person isn’t unkind doesn’t mean that person is good or right for you.

Neglect is often worse than meanness. You deserve respect,

attention and support. Are you getting enough of that?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Even though there are so many miracles around for you to appreciate, not everything can be profound, because that would mean that nothing is.

A new sense of purpose will help you prioritize and focus accordingly.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Measure the distance between you and the outcome you now desire to see if it’s even possible to get there in one move, because today’s problem isn’t like a ladder; it’s more like a chasm. It can’t be bridged in two steps.

Iowa State looks to replace Morris with Wigginton

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Competing in the 100-yard butterfly for rthe NCMP varsity is freshman Makenna Brooks. Brooks finished third in the event at Tuesday’s 2017 Little Hawkeye Conference meet at Indianola. She led a 3-4-5 finish in the race for the Aquagirls.

Aquagirls Continued from Page 1B “We won both the varsity and junior varsity 50 freestyle.

It was so fun to see Jaclyn fired up. She is pretty low key — but she was on fire Tuesday night,” Patterson said. “Abbie Hill won the junior varsity race.”

Michener combined with Blommers, Zahan and Inskeep to capture the 200 freestyle relay title in 1:46.76. The Aquagirls ended the conference meet with a winning time of 3:57.12 in the 400 freestyle relay with the foursome of Natalie Boll, Zahn, junior Lakin Jenkins and Inskeep.

Jenkins took second in the 100 freestyle race in 58.98 seconds and Inskeep was fifth in 1:00.43. Jenkins placed third in the 100 backstroke in 1:04.90 and Rachel Boll was fifth in 1:08.92.

NCMP’s 200 medley relay team of Jenkins, Blommers, Brooks and Michener was second in 2:00.22.

Brooks, freshman Chloe Kibbee and sophomore Abbie Hill went 3-4-5 in the 100 butterfly. Brooks touched third in 1:09.21 as Kibbee edged out Hill for fourth, 1:13.25 to 1:13.69.

NCMP’s junior varsity team of Rachel Boll, Paulius, Kibbee and Hill won its division’s 200 medley relay in 2:07.48. The Aquagirls’ junior varsity was second in the 200 freestyle and 400 freestyle relays.

NCMP junior varsity individual winners were junior Liv Barnes in the 200 freestyle, Hill in the 50 freestyle, senior Janna Balek in the 100 butterfly, senior Sarah Urias in the 100 freestyle, junior Mariah Petro in the 500 freestyle and junior Harley Neal in the 100 breaststroke.

“Liv started the meet by winning the 200 freestyle for the junior varsity. It was an event she hadn’t swam this year,” Patterson said. “She

was nervous, but I knew she would put down a good performance.

Mariah Petro dropped four seconds from her time and placed third.

Mariah also won the junior varsity 500 freestyle 500 and dropped eight seconds.”

Patterson said Balek’s winning time in the junior varsity butterfly was her personal best. She said the Aquagirls — both varsity and junior varsity — saw drops in times and had great swims across the board.

Senior Miranda Ervin won her heat in the junior varsity freestyle with a personal-best time. She also recorded a personal best time in the 100 freestyle.

“This was a meet we needed as we head down the home stretch of the season,” Patterson said.

The Aquagirls turn things around for the 2017 North

Central Iowa Conference championships on Saturday at Decorah. Races begin at 1 p.m. at Luther College.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Junior Liv Barnes started the winning ways for NCMP at Tuesday’s Little Hawkeye Conference swim meet at Indianola. Barnes won the junior varsity 200-yard freestyle race. The NCMP varsity and junior varsity claimed seven event races in their respective divisions and piled up points to defend their LHC team titles.

Hawks Continued from Page 1B Collins-Maxwell won the second set 25-13.

Down 2-0 in sets, the Hawks just never figured out an answer to the Spartans.

They were not able to put together strings of serving points.

Conover had five service points and senior Camryn Russell had four service points for the match. Cunningham and junior Makayla Rozendaal had two service points each. Senior Skyler Young served up one point.

They had no answer for the Spartans’ big hitters — senior Brianda Bane who had 18 kills and junior Josie Wierson who had 10 kills. Collins-Maxwell’s junior Gracie Cheville was 27of-29 serving with five aces.

There were no other individual statistics for Lynnville-Sully available at presstime.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Lynnville-Sully junior Makayla Rozendaal, middle, makes a pass from the back row during Tuesday’s Class 1A regional match at Sully. The Hawks fell to the visiting Collins-Maxwell Spartans in three straight sets, ending their season.

AMES (AP) — Iowa State lost the best point guard in school history to graduation in Monte Morris.

The Cyclones compensated by signing freshman Lindell Wigginton, one of the biggest recruits in program history.

Iowa State will be without Morris, who broke the NCAA career record with a 4.65 assist-to-turnover ratio and set school records for career assists (768) and steals (225), for the first time in four years. The Cyclones hope they’ve found a worthy successor in Wigginton, who was ranked 31st nationally as a senior in the composite recruiting rankings and was the topranked prep player from Canada.

Iowa State (24-11 in 2016-17) opens its season at Missouri on Nov. 10.

“Lindell is a physical, physical guard. He needs to continue to learn and grow from an understanding of... just the little things,” said coach Steve Prohm, who continually tried to temper expectations for Wigginton during the team’s annual media day on Tuesday. “I don’t even want to compare those guys, to be honest....I just want him to max out Lindell Wigginton. And if he does that, he can do some really good things.”

Prohm, now in his third season at Iowa State, has made a name for himself as someone whose system works best with an aggressive point guard leading the way. Prohm got the best out of Morris — and he likely won’t wait long to see what Wigginton can do.

Wigginton grew up in Nova Scotia. As his talents became more apparent, Wigginton transferred to the prestigious Oak Hill Academy in Virginia.

Wigginton averaged a team-high 16.4 points a game as a junior for a team that’s routinely ranked among the best in the country. As a senior at Oak Hill, Wigginton scored 20.1 points, had 4.4 assists and 4.2 rebounds a game and was named Virginia’s player of the year.

But perhaps Wigginton’s most impressive moment yet came this summer at the FIBA Under-19 World Cup in Cairo. Wigginton put up 12.4 points, 7 rebounds and 4.2 assists as Canada won the gold medal.

Prohm wants me “to stay in attack mode and lead my team,” Wigginton said. “As a freshman, I’m strong. I can get to the lane, shoot the mid-range shot.”

The biggest question for Prohm might be how to use Wigginton and senior point guard Donovan Jackson — arguably the program’s best returning player — on the floor together.

Jackson flourished late last season as a scoring threat off the bench with Morris entrenched as the starter. In his final 16 games last season, Jackson averaged 8.1 points and shot 58.5 percent on 3-pointers.

Jackson and Wigginton have been working to get their chemistry down and find a way to complement each other during fall practice.
