County health insurance increases by $300,000 by the board of supervisors. The benefits, which include health, dental and vision coverage, are provided through Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield and increased at
By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News An increase of more than $300,000 to Jasper County’s employee benefits was approved Tuesday
an average rate of 16.35 percent across plans. Human Resources Director Dennis Simon and Bob Meller, of Meller Insurance and Consulting, gave an overview of the
coverage to the board about what county employees can expect for the coming year. Unlike the county’s fiscal year, which runs from July 1 through June 30, the new
benefits plan year starts Jan. 1. “We had a little bit larger than anticipated increase,” Meller said. “I went out and got a quote from United Healthcare
and the rates there are a 21.05 percent increase, just confirming that Wellmark did rate us correctly for the renewal.” INSURANCE | 3A
NHS student earns Eagle Scout Only 4% of scouts attain the rank, scouting’s highest honor By David Dolmage Newton Daily News
Polling site changes in effect for Election Day By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Voters in the Newton city election are encouraged to check their polling place as locations have changed this year requiring residents to cast their votes in their respective wards. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Tuesday with four polling location, one for each ward. The change will give voters a central location within the wards and will help keep lines to a minimum. The four locations are different from the school board election earlier this year and the general election in 2016. “You have to vote in the precinct that you live for your vote to count,” Jasper County Auditor Dennis Parrott said. “If voters happen to go to the wrong polling place, the workers will have the ability to look up the person’s name and direct them to the right polling location.” Tina Mulgrew, deputy auditor in charge of elections, said signs will also be posted at locations where voting has previously taken
Be prepared; it’s the Boy Scout motto and it’s also Gage Linahon’s mantra. The Newton High School sophomore, who attained the rank of Eagle Scout last month said scouting has helped prepare him for every aspect of his life. It’s also been the push that’s kept him going as he worked to become an Eagle Scout, the highest honor a Boy Scout can receive. “I just had to finish it I guess, my uncle was a Life Scout and he never finished, I didn’t want to be like that,” Gage Linahon said. Only four percent of Boy Scouts will become an Eagle Scout, achieving the rank requires years of work and a minimum of 24 merit badges. Scouts have to complete all the work required to earn their Eagle Scout before their 18th birthday. Linahon’s father, Tim Linahon, said he was proud to see his son stick it out to the end. After a disastrous camping trip at Stevens State Forest, shortly after Gage joined Boy Scouts, Tim Linahon worried the cold, snow and the incessant rain might be too much for his son, and he might quit on the spot. Gage didn’t and that’s when his father realized he might be able to go all the way. “It can never get any worse than this” Tim Linahon said, recalling the winter camping trip. During the Eagle Scout process each scout is SCOUT | 3A

Central Iowa Today Today in History

WEATHER FORECAST
Today is Thursday, Nov. 2, the 306th day of 2017. There are 59 days left in the year. Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 2, 1947, Howard Hughes piloted his huge wooden flying boat, the Hughes H-4 Hercules (derisively dubbed the “Spruce Goose” by detractors), on its only flight, which lasted about a minute over Long Beach Harbor in California. On this date: In 1867, Harper’s Bazaar magazine was first published under the title “Harper’s Bazar.” In 1889, North Dakota and South Dakota became the 39th and 40th states with the signing of proclamations by President Benjamin Harrison. In 1948, President Harry S. Truman surprised the experts by winning a narrow upset over Republican challenger Thomas E. Dewey. In 1976, former Georgia Gov. Jimmy Carter became the first candidate from the Deep South since the Civil War to be elected president as he defeated incumbent Gerald R. Ford. In 2000, American astronaut Bill Shepherd and two Russian cosmonauts, Yuri Gidzenko and Sergei Krikalev, became the first residents of the international space station. Ten years ago: British college student Meredith Kercher, 21, was found slain in her bedroom in Perugia, Italy; her roommate, American Amanda Knox and Knox’s Italian boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, were later convicted of killing Kercher, but both were later exonerated. Five years ago: Four days before Election Day, President Barack Obama accused Mitt Romney of scaring voters with lies, while the Republican challenger warned grimly of political paralysis and another recession if Obama reclaimed the White House. One year ago: Ending a championship drought that had lasted since 1908, the Chicago Cubs won the World Series, defeating the Cleveland Indians 8-7 in extra innings at Progressive Field. Des Moines Police Sgt. Anthony Beminio and Urbandale Officer Justin Martin were shot and killed while sitting in their patrol cars in separate attacks about 2 miles apart; suspect Scott Michael Greene later pleaded guilty to two counts of first-degree murder and was sentenced to consecutive life prison terms.

That’s Odd Man tries to open beer with pepper spray; it doesn’t go well BERLIN (AP) — It’s legal to drink beer in German movie theaters — but it’s probably not a good idea to try to open your beer bottle with a pepper spray canister. However, that’s exactly what a thirsty moviegoer tried doing at a cinema Monday night in the northwestern German town of Osnabrueck. Instead of opening his beer, the 29-year-old man broke his pepper spray container and some 200 people had to quickly leave the theater in tears.

Entertainment Studio cuts ties to director Ratner after harassment report NEW YORK (AP) — Hollywood’s widening sexual harassment crisis has ensnared a prominent film director after six women — including actress Olivia Munn — accused Brett Ratner of sexual misconduct in a Los Angeles Times report on Wednesday.
Playboy Enterprises quickly distanced itself from Ratner as his attorney denied the allegations and late Wednesday Warner Bros. severed ties with the director, whose expired first-look deal with the studio will not be renewed, according to a person with knowledge of the decision

who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly. The reverberations also reached back 32 years as Oscar-winner Dustin Hoffman came forward to apologize for allegedly sexually harassing a 17-yearold intern in 1985. Writer Anna Graham Hunter alleged in a Wednesday column in The Hollywood Reporter that the now 80-year-old actor groped her on the set of TV movie “Death of a Salesman” and “talked about sex to me and in front of me.” Hoffman issued a statement Wednesday, apologizing for “anything I might have done could have put her in an uncomfortable situation. I am sorry. It is not reflective of who I am.” Munn also complained about on-set behavior, alleging that while visiting the production of Ratner’s “After the Sunset” in 2004, he masturbated in front of her in his trailer. Munn described the incident, without naming Ratner, in a 2010 collection of essays. Ratner’s lawyer issued a statement Wednesday in which he said the director “vehemently denies the outrageous derogatory allegations” and is “confident that his name will be cleared once the current media frenzy dies down and people can objectively evaluate the nature of these claims.”
Ratner directed the “Rush Hour” film series, “Red Dragon,” ‘’X-Men: The Last Stand” and “Tower Heist.” According to a person with knowledge of the situation who spoke on condition of anonymity, Ratner will no longer occupy rented office space on the company’s lot in Burbank, Calif. He has also been taken off of the adaptation of Donna Tartt’s novel “The Goldfinch,” which he had previously been set to produce. Ratner’s production company, RatPac Entertainment does have a financing deal with the studio that will continue until March 2018. The $450-million co-financing agreement was signed in 2013 and it remains unclear whether that will be renewed or not. It has encompassed much of Warner Bros.’s output, including “Wonder Woman,” “It” and “Justice League.” A Warner Bros. representative declined comment. Ratner had previously said he would step away from work with Warner Bros. for an unspecified amount of time. “I don’t want to have any possible negative impact to the studio until these personal issues are resolved,” Ratner said. Playboy Enterprises has shelved any of its projects that involved Ratner, including working on a biopic of Hugh Hefner, which was to star Jared Leto. “We are deeply troubled to learn about the accusations against Brett Ratner. We find this kind of behavior completely unacceptable,” according to a statement.

Scout Continued from Page 1A expected to complete a service project that benefits their community. Gage Linahon decided that he wanted to construct a Gaga ball pit in Newton. After finding a site at Aurora Heights Park, Gage started fundraising to raise the money to build the pit. All told, he raised more than $2,500 and he learned a lot from the project. After creating a presentation, he approached local businesses and asked for donations. It took six months to complete the fundraising, but Gage said every time he drives by the pit it brings a smile to his face. “It’s a pretty good feeling to know that I’ve done something to help the community,” Gage Linahon said. As much as Linahon has given scouting, it’s given back to him as well. Tim Linahon said his son has gained an immeasurable amount of confidence by participating in the Boy Scouts, and it’s helped him in every aspect of his life. Scouting has taken Gage

Keady said one of the things he appreciates about Newton so far is the openness and the realness of its people. “I like the vibe of Newton, the real life vibe,” Keady said. “People are working hard and raising their families and helping others in need. A community putting itself back together and building a new foundation.” The first sermon series Keady has established at the church is “The Life of the Church.” “The one thing I’m emphasizing is the greatest commandment which is to love and love one another,” Keady said. “I’m spending nine weeks talking about love … love your neighbor as yourself.” Keady said he wanted to lay

out on his own and do things away from his comfort level,” Tim Linahon said.” He never wanted to stretch that comfort zone.” Scouting has given Gage plenty of opportunities to stretch that comfort zone, to earn his wilderness survival merit badge he had to construct a shelter out in the wild, and spend the night in it. “He was a nervous wreck,” Tim Linahon remembers, as he watched his son build his shelter for the night. Gage not only survived his night in the woods, he thrived. Even though he’s reached the end of his scouting career he still plans to stay involved with Troop 354. He’d like to mentor other Scouts and encourage them to work toward becoming Eagle Scouts as well. Several other members of the troop are closing to Eagle Scout, and Gage is hoping he can help them over the edge. “I want to provide a little motivation for these guys who are really close,” Gage Linahon said.

bers to attend church because people need people as much as they need to hear the gospel. “We need to be open to real, hurting people, and when they come to church here they will feel welcome” Keady said. “It all goes back to love your neighbor as yourself.” Keady said he also believes in working together with other churches in the community. “There’s only one church in Newton — they might meet in different buildings, but we are all united by the one Jesus,” Keady said. “When we believe that, we act differently, and there is no competition.

A few ways he hopes to connect members in the future are through a church podcast and a phone app. “I wanted to increase communication and understanding in the church, and I want the people here to start getting to know each other and deepen relationships in the church” Keady said. “I want to be very open and a lot of information flowing.” Keady said he would like to encourage community mem-

For the county, employee’s medical plan contribution is 10 percent for both single and family coverage with the county fulfilling the remaining 90 percent. Under the traditional plan, the single rate increase is 13.31 percent with the family rate going up 13.63 percent. Currently, the county has 43 singles and 56 families on that plan. The high deductible plan offered by Wellmark to county employees has an increase of 13.62 percent for singles and 14.05 percent for those using the family plan. The county has 28 singles and 46 families on that plans. “The total population here is 173 contracts and the current monthly premium is $182,511 and the renewal premium is $207,529 per month. That is the gross premium of what the county and the employees are paying,” Meller said. Dental coverage through Delta Dental and vision insurance through Principal Life Company both remained the same as the previous year. While the increase is robust, the county prepared for the potential addition by including it in the previous budget. “I think when asked I recommended 12 percent, and the county went one more percent,” Simon said. A new service provided to employees through the insurance company is Telehealth. Through an app on a smart device called Doctor on Demand, people can communicate through the app with a medical professional about symptoms and treatment with a co-payment attached to the service. “We’re fortunate in the past five years, the renewal rate has been in the single digits,” supervisor Joe Brock said. “I know some other counties that had some big increases.”

‘Color Purple’ moment G
www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | Nov. 2, 2017
In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers
ood music can leave you speechless. The talented actors and performers on stage at the Des Moines Civic Center Tuesday for “The Color Purple” had several moments where I was at a loss for words. The music from the cast and the orchestra was phenomenal. The story itself was one of hardship, to say the least. It was honestly hard to watch at times. So many things happen that just makes you wish the characters can find their salvation. However, the uplifting moments makes the struggles almost worth it. “The Color Purple” musical is based on the 1982 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Alice Walker. An Academy Award-nominated film of the same name was released in 1985. The story was adapted for the stage in 2005 and earned
an impressive 11 Tony Award nominations. This award list alone is enough to make someone sit up and take notice. Set primarily in Georgia from 1909 to 1949, the story centers around an African-American woman, Celie (Adrianna Hicks). She sees herself as “ugly” and only good for the work she can provide. She believes this because it is the message she has received her whole life. By age 14, she has two children, who were taken from her by her father would immediately following birth. Her one light in her life is her younger sister, Nettie. Nettie is the “pretty one” and is going to school to be a teacher. Celie’s father basically sells her into marriage to a man named Albert aka “Mister” (Gavin Gregory) who wants to marry Nettie instead, but their father says no. Celie goes from an oppressive father to an oppressive husband. She loses touch with her sister and believes she
is dead. Celie is merely surviving at this point, and she is just barely in her 20s. The show features two strong, independent women whom Celie looks up to. Sofia (Carrie Compere) is married to Mister’s son, Harpo. She isn’t afraid to speak her mind and refuses to be beaten. When Harpo tries to beat her like his father beats his wife, she says “Hell, no!” and walks away. The second independent woman is Shug Avery (Carla R. Stewart). Mister is in love with her, but she refused to marry him and left for Memphis. When she returns to town, Shug stays with Celie and Mister. Celie takes care of Shug, and the two unexpectedly find love together. Shug is the first person to call Celie beautiful, even though Celie doesn’t believe her. They save each other in their own way, although the journey isn’t an easy one. After the first act, I sat in my seat and wondered if Celie would ever get the courage to stand up to Mister and let herself believe she too is beautiful and worthy of love. I have neither read the book nor seen the movie. I think because of this, it increased my experience at the
theater. I was taking in the moments on stage, without knowledge of what could be next. While Celie lacked the outward strength of Sofia and Shug, Celie had her own version of strength. She never let her situation overtake her, and she came out on the other side. When she finally has her “moment of truth” I’ll call it, it made me want to jump from my seat and cheer. Finally, Celie had her chance. She went from surviving to living. Celie breaks free of her imaginary bonds and gets to enjoy God’s creation for the first time. She has her “color purple” moment, and it was beautiful. The three women in the story were only as compelling as the women who played them. Adrianna Hicks as Celie was captivating, Carrie Compere as Sofia was bold and Carla R. Stewart as Shug was mesmerizing. They embodied the souls of these women and brought them to life. They gave performances I’ll not soon forget. “The Color Purple” is at the Civic Center through Sunday. Contact Pam Rodgers at prodgers@newtondailynews.com

Death and dying Sometimes death confuses me. It’s usually with the death of a younger person, a person who has not had the privilege of living to a “ripe old age.” Somehow, for me anyway, it doesn’t seem right that disease can come along and prematurely wipe out a life. My friend Ray Tedrow recently passed away. I’ve written about Ray Ray before. He was my supervisor years ago at a machine shop. He was smart, hard-working, and had cystic fibrosis. I didn’t even know what cystic fibrosis was. Ray told me in an offhand way, like it was-what-it-was, that there was nothing he could do about it, so he would just go ahead and set this machine up, that was what was important. That there was no cure for cystic fibrosis, that it was 100 percent fatal was something he couldn’t control so why worry about it? Live for the moment. That seemed to be Ray Ray’s philosophy. He was younger than me. He was a fighter and he was going to whip the disease. I was impressed by his attitude. Ray had a sister, Shirley, who also had the cystic fibrosis. I knew Ray and Shirley’s father well. When Shirley died it was a bummer. Ray and his father and family seemed to take it in stride. It wasn’t long before Ray had to quit work and take disability. But he enjoyed life. He had a Harley motorcycle and liked to deer hunt and race stock cars. He had a 2000 Dodge RT and participated, with his dad and family, in small tractor pulls. When he had a double-lung transplant at the University of Iowa Hospital, I thought he would go on to live a rich, full life. To get a new set of lungs was a miracle. Characteristic of Ray, he was able to meet with the donor’s family to express his gratitude for the gift of life. What the new lungs did was extend Ray’s life for a few more years. He spent the last couple of years living in Florida with his life mate. They both belonged to a Christian motorcycle group. When Ray passed away, members of the group rode from Florida to Iowa to attend the funeral. I like to remember Ray taping his work-booted toe to ear-splitting music by Brewer & Shipley as he set up a lathe to run production. “Awaitin’ for the train that goes home sweet Mary, Hopin’ that the train is on time.” Ray wasn’t supposed to live past his teens. He lived to be 48. But it still doesn’t seem right that Ray Ray is gone. Casey was another friend, also younger than me. We partied hardy together, back in the day. He played third base on our softball team and could wing it to first base like no one else. Mighty Casey at the bat. That bladder cancer could come along and take down a guy like Casey just doesn’t seem right. When Ginnie and I went out to see him in Colorado in his final days, he thought we had come out to party and felt bad that he couldn’t show us a good time. That we had come just to see him didn’t seem to sink in. Mighty Casey struck out. Ginnie’s mother recently passed away. She was just a few days short of 90 and died fast with no extended suffering. That’s the way it should be — live a long full life, raise a family, while faith grows stronger. Ginnie and her family grieve but accept. That’s a proper death. Contact Curt Swarm in Mt.

Upset with city spending The Oct. 24 Newton Daily News had the public notice of the City of Newton intending to borrow money in three more loan agreements. The first, $980,000 is to make HVAC improvements at the library, fund improvements to Newton DMACC and grants for the development of second story housing downtown. The second loan is for $1,180,000 to provide grant and loan support to the Hotel Maytag project. Both are subject to petition filed with the city clerk by Nov. 6. and could be submit-
TIF district isn’t right for Newton I believe if the reasonable person would read Iowa Code Section 403 Urban Renewal they would come to the conclusion it is for slum and blighted areas and housing for the low to moderate income. The city leaders of Newton read this as for housing for the affluent and want to make a
ted to votes. Why doesn’t the city just put it to vote and let us decide? That would be open government. The last loan is for $360,000 for more street improvements, not subject to petition. I’m not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but why should the city borrow money for any of this? The HVAC and street improvements should be budgeted. Why should the city pay for improvements at DMACC and not the state of Iowa? Why should the city borrow money to loan money to the Hotel Maytag project? Isn’t that Hotel Maytag LLC and Hatch Development responsibility? Why can’t they get funding? How
much money does the city have in all for this? Why should Newton borrow money to fund parts for second story housing downtown? If building owners want to put in upstairs apartments, that should be their project. Even if all this does not involve taxpayer money or charge the levy, the city is taking on more debt for things that aren’t their responsibility. Is that right? City officials keep saying it’s a struggle to meet their obligations, yet they got right on with more big projects and think nothing of it. Why do these things the city can’t afford?
TIF district in one of the highest priced neighborhoods in the city (Fairmeadows North) in which the large majority of people can not afford to live with housing costing well over twice the average selling price in Newton. I know I’m old and maybe old-fashioned but I always thought that new streets, sewers and utilities were put in by the developer with the city then taking over the maintenance with the tax revenues
generated. The leaders of the City of Newton want the government to pay this cost but since the city cannot afford to do this they want to make a TIF district so the majority of this cost will be paid by the school district and the county. No taxing bodies would get any tax dollars from these new houses until all the TIF cost are paid back which can be 10 to 20 years.

Wife refuses to accept job as family’s communicator
DEAR ABBY: My husband is a nice guy, but he’s not particularly good at planning ahead. This means that special events, holidays and birthdays often go unmarked because he doesn’t remember in time to get something sent. In my parents’ marriage, all family communications fell to my mom. It was her job to send the Christmas cards, birthday gifts for nieces and nephews and to remember her mother and her mother-in-law on Mother’s Day. Our marriage is more egalitarian, and I don’t want the job of communicator-in-chief. My husband knows this and agrees that he should share some responsibility, but doesn’t act on it, even after being reminded. I feel guilty when an important milestone in one of his parents’ lives goes by and they receive no acknowledgement from our household. The source of my guilt is surely the nagging feeling that it’s my job as the wife to make these connections and that I am judged when the things are not sent. How do I let go of the guilt, or at least let my in-laws know I love them and their son is the one who is letting them down? I want absolution. — NO CALENDAR GIRL IN CALIFORNIA DEAR NO CALENDAR GIRL: Not everyone excels at every task. That’s why there is division of labor in partnerships, including marriage. If you think you will look better after explaining to your in-laws that the reason they haven’t heard from the two of you is their son didn’t remember, you are dreaming. Because you are better at planning ahead, deal with the chore. I’m sure he does things for you that are a pain in the neck (and even below). In this day of automation, sending
“something” to relatives is practically a no-brainer. And it certainly beats feeling guilty because your husband isn’t up to it. DEAR ABBY: My parents are in their late 60s and suffer from multiple lifestyle-related illnesses. Although they had every opportunity to make healthy changes, they chose not to. I live on the other side of the country, and I am busy with my career and family. I love my parents and accept our relationship for what it is. However, I do not feel obligated to disrupt my life and upset my children to be with them as they die slow, painful deaths. If their illnesses were not directly related to their own poor choices, I might feel and behave differently toward them. Knowing it won’t change their behavior, should I tell them why I won’t be with them for what appears will be prolonged and terrible deaths? — SADDENED BY THEIR CHOICES DEAR SADDENED: If your parents are as sick as you have indicated, they already feel terrible. I see nothing to be gained by adding emotional pain to their physical pain. Put aside your anger and find enough compassion to NOT say it unless asked directly.

AVOCA (AP) — Prosecutors are expected to present their case Wednesday in the second trial against Robert Reynolds. Reynolds was convicted in November 2014 of killing 64-year-old Patricia Kinkade-Dorsey after a night of drinking at his and his wife’s Oakland home. Kinkade-Dorsey was a friend of his wife.

The department says he was pronounced dead at a hospital. Department spokesman Brian O’Keefe said another person at the scene was treated for a pre-existing medical condition, but he said he couldn’t confirm whether the woman was Suljic’s wife.

SIOUX CITY — A Sioux City man has pleaded guilty to possessing both illegal drugs and child pornography in federal court. The U.S. Attorney’s office for the Northern District of Iowa says 23-year-old Jose Ramon Ortega-Ramirez entered the plea Wednesday in Sioux City’s federal court and was subsequently convicted of one count of possession of cocaine with intent to distribute and one count of child porn possession. Police say they intercepted a package from Mexico containing nearly 291 grams of cocaine addressed to Ortega-Ramirez’s apartment.

In addition, the unit won’t require Cedar River water for cleaning out the ash.

He’d pleaded guilty to a charge of fraudulent practice. —The Associated Press
Officials: More than 100 Iowa worker pension payments stolen DES MOINES — Officials say pension payments have been stolen from more than 100 Iowa public employee retirees’ accounts. The Iowa Public Employees’ Retirement System said Wednesday that 103 accounts were compromised in mid-October. The system serves workers for state and local governments and school districts and sends out checks to 115,000 retirees. System spokeswoman Judy Akre says criminals obtained stolen So-
cial Security numbers and birthdates and used the information to register for online account access. Then they diverted the payments to different financial institutions. She says the system learned of the crime Tuesday. Akre says the system has reissued the payments to the correct financial institutions so the retirees will not lose money. The retirees are being asked to check with their financial institutions to ensure the October payments were properly credited.
Weather to blame for fatal rock climbing fall in Colorado BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Authorities say slippery conditions from rain and snow likely caused a rock climber to fall to his death from the First Flatiron in Boulder. Carrie Haverfield, a spokeswoman for the Boulder County Sheriff ’s Office, says investigators believe
deteriorating weather conditions caused 31-year-old Erik Kleiber to fall about 430 feet from the ironshaped rock formation Thursday. The Daily Camera reports it does not appear that the Boulder man was using any climbing equipment. Kleiber grew up
in Iowa City, Iowa, and moved to Boulder in 2015. His death marks the second fatal fall from the formation this year after a 17-year-old died while free-soloing the First Flatiron in August. Before that, no one had died due to an accidental fall on the Flatirons since 2008.
House GOP tax overhaul keeps retirement rules WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans would preserve the popular retirement account for middle-class Americans while limiting a cherished deduction for homeowners in a sweeping tax cut plan unveiled Thursday that would add $1.5 trillion to the nation’s debt. GOP leaders briefed rankand-file lawmakers on the proposal Thursday morning ahead of a formal rollout and a show of unity event at the White House with President Donald Trump. A major revamp of the tax code, the first in three decades, is a top legislative and political priority of Republicans. Details were contained in a summary obtained by The Associated Press. The proposal would leave intact the existing rules on 401(k) retirement accounts and the ability of Americans to contribute up to $18,000 into
the accounts tax-free. But the plan limits the widely used deduction for mortgage interest for newly purchased homes at up to $500,000, a sharp reduction from the current $1 million cap. The plan also limits the deductibility of local property taxes to $10,000 while eliminating the deduction for state income taxes, which generated significant opposition from Republicans in high-tax states such as New York and New Jersey. “I view the elimination of the deduction as a geographic redistribution of wealth, picking winners and losers,” said Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., who represents eastern Long Island. “I don’t want my home state to be a loser, and that really shouldn’t come as any surprise.” The child tax credit would be increased from $1,000 to $1,600, though the $4,050 per child exemption would be re-
pealed. The legislation is a longstanding goal for Capitol Hill Republicans who see a once-in-a-generation opportunity to clean up an inefficient, loophole-cluttered tax code. But there is lingering opposition from northeastern Republicans fearful of losing a cherished deduction for state and local taxes and anxiety among other rank-and-file lawmakers over emerging details. Influential conservative Rep. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., dismissed proposed retirement changes as a “non-starter,” adding “that’s what most of middle-income America uses as their nest egg.” The plan shrinks the number of tax brackets from seven to three or four, with respective tax rates of 12 percent, 25 percent, 35 percent and a category still to be determined. The tax system would be sim-
plified, and most people would be able to file their returns on a postcard-sized form. The plan calls for nearly doubling the standard deduction used by most average Americans to $12,000 for individuals and $24,000 for families, and increasing the per-child tax credit. On net, it could mean tax increases for many upper middle-income families. The plan slashes the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 20 percent, a demand of Trump. It also repeals the inheritance taxes on multimillion-dollar estates, a big break for the wealthy. Republicans and Trump argue that sharply cutting tax rates for businesses improves U.S. economic competitiveness, but the possibility of letting the lower corporate rates expire is rankling some longtime advocates who say the uncertainty could limit its boost to the economy.
The ambitious timetable calls for passing the complex measure in the House by Thanksgiving. “Failure is not an option,” said Rep. Chris Collins, R-N.Y. The emerging plan would retain the Clinton-era 39.6 percent income tax rate for the wealthiest earners. But for that highest bracket, the tax writers were considering raising the minimum level of income to $1 million for couples or families from the current $470,000 — a change that would reduce tax revenue. Meadows, the chairman of the House Freedom Caucus, said he was worried about eligibility limits that could prevent some businesses from taking advantage of a lower 25 percent tax rate. “How as a Republican can we pick winners and losers that way? I mean it makes absolutely, certifiably no sense,” Meadows said.

Iowa’s furbearer season begins Saturday Iowa’s furbearer season opens Saturday, and the outlook for 2017 is good as populations are stable to increasing statewide. Vince Evelsizer, furbearer biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, said that while prospects for a good season are there, the number of participants usually follows the fur market. “When prices are good, we have higher participation. When the market is forecasted to be down, like it is again this year, so is participation. But that lack of competition provides an opportunity to introduce someone new to trapping or someone who’s been out of the sport for a while to come back,” he said. The recent peak in trapping came in 2013 when nearly 21,000 Iowans purchased a furharvester license. In 2016, about 14,500 furharvester licenses were sold. Evelsizer expects participation in the 2017 season

will be similar to 2016. “This is another opportunity to enjoy the outdoors, enjoy trapping, even if the market isn’t great,” he said. Furharvester population trends and market forecast Muskrats — Population, particularly in northern Iowa, is doing well. Prices likely similar
to 2016. Raccoons — Population is strong, but market forecasts are low. Best opportunity is for large adults in prime condition — from Thanksgiving through December. Coyotes — Population and price is steady. Coyote fur price has been buoyed by the international trim trade. Beaver — Population
Fall Back With Carbon Monoxide Awareness As temperatures drop and Daylight Savings Time comes to an end on Sunday, the Iowa Public Health Tracking program wants to bring awareness to the dangers of carbon monoxide by providing information, data and resources to remind Iowans to take action to avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. This weekend, as the clocks get turned back, it’s important to remind Iowans to check their home devices that protect their families from carbon monoxide poisoning to ensure that they are in good working order. In Iowa, an average of 35 deaths and 300 emergency department visits occur each year from carbon monoxide poisoning. These trips to the ER for carbon monoxide poisoning are preventable when people are prepared. At high levels, carbon monoxide can cause death within minutes. Symptoms of overexposure to carbon monoxide include headaches, fatigue, dizziness, shortness of breath, nausea, and confusion. The following safety tips are important to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning: Make sure you have working carbon monoxide detectors. Install carbon monoxide detectors in your home near every sleeping area and change the batteries every six months. Detectors can be
purchased at most hardware stores. • Have your furnace or wood-burning stove inspected annually. Hire a professional to make sure it is functionally sound and vents properly outside the home. • Never run a gasoline or propane heater or a grill (gas or charcoal) inside your home or in an unventilated garage. Any heating system that burns fuel produces carbon monoxide. Use a battery-powered detector where you have fuel burning devices but no electric outlets, such as in tents, cabins, RVs, and boats with enclosed cabins. • Never run a car in an enclosed space. If a vehicle is running, you must have a door open to the outside. • Generators should be run a safe distance from the home. Never run a generator in the home or garage, or right next to windows or doors. Anyone that suspects they are experiencing symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, or their detector sounds an alarm, they should head outside immediately for fresh air and call 911. For more information, data, and resources about carbon monoxide, visit: https:// pht.idph.state.ia.us/Health/ CarbonMonoxidePoisoning/ Pages/Prevention.aspx
ISU Extension and Outreach AMES — With colder temperatures sweeping across Iowa, it’s time to start thinking about winter. How should Iowans prepare flowers for winter temperatures to ensure their long-term survival? Iowa State University Extension and Outreach horticulturists can help answer questions about the best way to prepare flowers for winter. To have additional questions answered, contact the ISU Hortline at 515-294-3108 or hortline@iastate.edu. How should I prepare roses for winter? Modern roses, like hybrid teas, floribundas and grandifloras, require protection during the winter months. Low temperatures and rapid temperature changes in winter can severely damage and sometimes destroy unprotected roses. (Most old garden roses possess excellent cold hardiness and don’t require winter protection.) Hilling or mounding soil over the base of each plant is an excellent way to protect modern roses. Begin by removing fallen leaves and other debris from around each plant. Removing dis-

Otters and bobcats Furharvesters are required to contact a conservation officer within seven days of taking an otter or bobcat to receive a CITES tag which must remain with the animal until it is sold. They are also asked to turn in the lower jaw or skull of all otters and bobcats har-
vested to the Iowa DNR, which is used for a population and harvest monitoring. Coyotes versus wolves While there are no known wolves currently in Iowa, an occasional wolf will wander through. The Iowa DNR has information at www. iowadnr.gov/C onservation/Iowas-Wildlife/ Occasional-Wildlife-Visitors showing how to distinguish coyotes from wolves. “Wolves are state and federally protected. If it looks too big or something doesn’t look right, take a second or third look before pulling the trigger,” he said. “Be sure of the target before taking the shot.” While wolves are protected, bears and mountain lions are not. “We encourage anyone who comes across a bear or mountain lion to enjoy the incredible experience but leave them alone unless there is a safety threat,” Evelsizer said.

is trending up slightly but varies by region. Mink — Population is steady. Bobcats — Population is expanding in western and eastern Iowa and increasing in numbers. Prices are similar to 2016. Otters — Population is stable to slightly increasing. Prices are similar to 2016.
Regulations and Ethics There are no new regulations for 2017. Furharvesters must have a valid furharvester license and habitat fee to hunt or trap all furbearers except coyotes and groundhogs. Coyotes and groundhogs may be hunted with a hunting or furharvester license. Furharvesters are reminded to respect private property, property boundaries, and the 200 yard separation distance from occupied dwellings or driveways. All traps must be checked every 24 hours, except those which are placed entirely underwater and designed drown the animal immediately.
eased plant debris helps reduce disease problems next season. Next, cover the bottom 10 to 12 inches of the rose canes with soil. Place additional material, such as straw or leaves, over the mound of soil. A small amount of soil placed over the straw or leaves should hold these materials in place. Prepare modern roses for winter after plants have been hardened by exposure to daytime temperatures in the 40s and nighttime temperatures in the 20s. Normally, this is early November in northern Iowa, mid-November in central areas and late November in southern counties. How should I prepare mums for winter? Chrysanthemums are shallow-rooted plants. Repeated freezing and thawing of the soil during the winter months can heave plants out of the ground and cause severe damage or even death. Gardeners can improve the odds of their mums surviving the winter by mulching plants in fall. Mulching helps eliminate the freezing-thawing cycles that can heave plants out of the soil. Apply the mulch in late fall, typically late November in central
Iowa. Do not cut back the plants prior to mulching. Simply cover the plants with several inches of mulch. Suitable mulching materials include clean (weed-free) straw, pine needles and evergreen branches. Leaves are not a good mulch as they tend to mat down and don’t provide adequate protection. The mulch should remain in place until early April. How do I prepare tree peonies for winter? Tree peonies are small, woody shrubs. Unlike herbaceous peonies, the stems of tree peonies do not die back to the ground in fall. Cold winter temperatures can damage young tree peonies (especially those in northern portions of Iowa.) Rabbits also can damage plants in winter. Rabbit damage can be prevented by encircling each plant with chicken wire or hardware cloth fencing in fall. Fill the enclosure with a light, airy material, such as straw or pine needles, to protect plants from cold winter temperatures. Protective materials should be in place by mid to late November. Remove the materials in early April.

By Diane Krieger Spivak When selling a home, most people are consumed with repairs, curb appeal and making a good impression to get the highest price. A very important aspect of selling, however, is safety when showing your home. Discuss it in advance with your realtor, who has experience along those lines and can give you productive advice. You need to find out if the realtor will use a lock box on your door and who will be using it. An electronic lockbox is recommended, and one that only the realtor can open. It will record the date, time, and who entered the house. Also, know who will keep an eye on prospective buyers? You certainly don’t want just anyone entering your home, especially if it’s unoccupied. Likewise, if you have any valuables either lock them up or remove them from the house. These can include keys, money, jewelry, credit cards, firearms, furs or
high-end antiques and artworks. Hide mail, bills, and other documentation that may have your personal information and account numbers on them, to deter identity thieves. Security cameras also provide a measure of safety. Don’t allow anyone inside who does not have an appointment, including drop-in viewers. However, as much as you want to sell, it’s better to err on the side of caution and gracefully decline, suggesting that they make an appointment with your realtor. Finally, remove personal items such as family photos,especially if you have children. The purpose is twofold. There’s the idea that potential buyers can’t imagine themselves in a home that is full of someone else’s photos. Unfortunately, the other reason is that there are criminals who check real estate sites for photos that might include people. You don’t want your family members to be endangered.

Toe-To-Toe For The Dome Undefeated Lynnville-Sully takes on undefeated Hudson in Class A quarterfinal By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News “It’s two undefeated teams going toe-to-toe for the Dome. We’ll prepare and see what we’re made of on Friday up there,” Lynnville-Sully head football coach Mike Parkinson said knowing the Hawks would be playing Hudson’s Pirates in a Class A quarterfinal game. Eighth-ranked Lynnville-Sully (9-0) plays thirdranked Hudson (10-0) at 7 p.m. Friday in Hudson. The opponents are two of eight undefeated teams still in the hunt in the Iowa Class A football playoffs. Winners of Friday’s quarterfinal games advance to the Class A semifinals at the UNIDome in Cedar Falls. The winner between the Hawks and Pirates will face the winner of two-time defending Class A champion Gladbrook-Reinbeck (9-1) and Saint Ansgar (10-0) at 10 a.m. on Nov. 10. On the other side of the bracket, Friday quarterfinal games pit West Hancock at top-ranked West Sioux and Gehlen Catholic at No. 5 St. Albert. The winners play the 1 p.m. semifinal on Nov. 10 at the UNI Dome. The 2017 Class A championship game is at 1:36 p.m. Nov. 16 at the UNI Dome. “We take one game at a
Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Lynnville-Sully’s Drake Ehresman (11), Grant Wehrle (56), Caleb Barnett (70) and Aaron Van De Krol (76) indicate they are ready for the fourth quarter of the first-round playoff game last Friday in Sully. The foursome and the rest of the Hawks are set for a Class A quarterfinal contest on Friday at Hudson.
time,” senior quarterback Elijah Collins said after the Hawks dispatched New London last Friday in the first round of the playoffs. “We’ll get after it for another week of practice, preparing for Hud-
son.” It will be big and athletic against quick and athletic on Friday night. Parkinson pointed out Hudson has bigger players than Lynnville-Sully does so the Hawks will have
to utilize their quickness and speed. “Hudson has great size, but we feel like we can match up well with that,” Parkinson said. “Sometimes speed can out run the size, but we must
play perfect football because Hudson does have speed as well. The best team will win.” Hudson, which shutout Pekin in its playoff opener, has the seventh best rushing team in Class A, 2,749 yards on 378 carries. Most of those yards were chalked up by 5-foot-9-inch, 172-pound junior running back Christian Seres. Seres stands fourth in rushing in Class A with 1,488 yards on 211 carries, averaging 7.1-yards a carry. He has scored 24 touchdowns. Junior Jacob Murray, who is 6-foot-4 and 168 pounds, guides the Pirate offense as its quarterback. Murray is 46-of95 passing for 923 yards with 12 touchdown passes and four interceptions. His top two targets are senior wide receiver Al Hageman and senior tight end Zach Buzynski. It’s up front where the Pirates have a big size advantage over the Hawks. Playing on the line on both sides of the football are seniors Dawson Ellingson, Wes Geisler and Matt Seres. Ellingson is 6-foot-3 and 267 pounds, Geisler is 6-foot-1 and 202 pounds and Matt Seres is 6-foot-2 and 262 pounds. Add in junior Caleb Koelling at 5-foot-11 and 297 pounds and five other linemen weighing more than 200 pounds each. LYNNVILLE-SULLY | 2B
Astros win World Series in LA-LA Land
LOS ANGELES (AP) — From laughingstock to lift off. George Springer and the Houston Astros rocketed to the top of the baseball galaxy Wednesday night, winning the first World Series championship in franchise history by romping past the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 in Game 7. Playing for a city still recovering from Hurricane Harvey, and wearing an H Strong logo on their jerseys, the Astros brought home the prize that had eluded them since they started out in 1962 as the Colt .45s. “I always believed that we could make it,” All-Star second baseman Jose Altuve said. “We did this for them.” For a Series that was shaping up as an October classic, Game 7 quickly became a November clunker as Houston scored five runs in the first two innings off an ineffective Yu Darvish. Hardly the ex-
citement fans felt during the Cubs’ 10-inning thriller in Cleveland last fall. Well, except for everyone wearing bright orange. “We’re coming home a champion, Houston,” Springer said after accepting the World Series MVP trophy named this year after Willie Mays for the first time. Altuve, one of four carry-overs from a club that lost an embarrassing 111 times in 2013 after switching from the NL to the AL, and this collection of young stars silenced Dodger Stadium from the get-go. Normally a starter, Charlie Morton finished up with four stellar innings of relief for the win. “We held down a really tough lineup,” Morton said. “For my teammates, for the city of Houston, it’s just unbelievable.”
Campbell’s process is paying off F
rom the moment Matt Campbell became the Iowa State head football coach, he has preached process to anyone who would listen. Campbell inherited a program that wasn’t used to winning. The Cyclones entered 2017 with 11 wins since the start of the 2013 season. One of those seasons, 2016, was Campbell’s first season in Ames. He continued to preach process at the start of this year and Iowa State’s players have bought in. The Cyclones are bowl eligible for the first time since 2012. Don’t talk about that with Campbell though. He doesn’t want to hear about bowl games or six-win seasons. Campbell wants more. Iowa State is in a strong position to win more games than it has since going 9-3 back in 2000.
ASTROS | 2B
AP Photo The Houston Astros’ Carlos Correa celebrates with the trophy after their win against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Wednesday’s Game 7 of the 2017 World Series in Los Angeles. The Astros won 5-1 to win the series 4-3.
This & That Troy Hyde The Cyclones believe. And the process is turning into wins over top-five ranked teams. Iowa State entered the College Football Playoff standings at No. 14. With two losses, it’s going to be hard to get into the top four and think about a national championship, but the Cyclones are in play for a Big 12 title. The biggest talk nationally outside of what the Cyclones’ record is, is how long will Campbell stay in Ames? He was offended when asked about a tweet by one of the most respected college football analysts in America. Kirk Herbstreit essentially said Cyclone fans should have fun this season because Campbell was gone. I don’t know what Campbell is thinking. He could make Ames his final stop. He could be the next Bill Snyder at Kansas State. Or Mike Gundy at Oklahoma State. Or Gary Patterson at TCU. Those are all coaches who have cho-
sen to stay at programs that weren’t one of the best in college football when they arrived. But does Campbell want more? There will be jobs open that may entice him. Is Arkansas a better job? Or Tennessee? Or UCLA? Jobs like Florida or Florida State may be enough to get away from Ames. But then there’s that $9 million buyout that another school would have to pay to Iowa State. If this season ends with nine or 10 wins, Campbell could stay another year and do it all over again. Backto-back seasons with nine or 10 wins would land an even bigger job in 2019. Campbell says he wants to stay and build something in Ames. If that’s the case, the Cyclones have a great coach on their hands. I have no reason to believe he doesn’t want to stay, but he will have opportunies if he wants to jump to a bigger school. On the other side of the state, the Iowa Hawkeyes have a stiff challenge on Saturday against nationally ranked Ohio State inside Kinnick Stadium. The Hawkeyes, who defeated Iowa State in overtime earlier this season, is trying to right their ship again. At 5-3,
there is a lot left to play for, but most still think Iowa wins just one more game. I don’t think Iowa beats Ohio State on Saturday, but Purdue, Wisconsin and Nebraska are all winnable games. Speaking of Wisconsin, the Badgers are just like Iowa from 2015. They are undefeated with a soft schedule. And the 24-10 win over Illinois was not impressive. The Badgers still have Iowa and Michigan at home, and those could be losses. But the College Football Playoff committee took notice of their schedule, placing them well out of the top four in the first rankings. It’s not a time to freak out. Texas A&M was in the first release of the CFP rankings last season. They end up being unranked and its coach is still on the hot seat. There are plenty of games left. The Big Ten and Big 12 Conference still has time to get into the top four. It should be a fun finish to another great college football season. Contact Troy Hyde at thyde@newtondailynews.com

Lynnville-Sully Continued from Page 1B
Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Senior quarterback Elijah Collins has guided the Lynnville-Sully offense all season as the Hawks went undefeated through the regular season. They are 9-0 and head to a quarterfinal round game Friday at Hudson in the Class A football playoffs.
“We’ll stick with our defensive philosophy — swarm the ball and gang tackle,” Parkinson said of the Hawk defense “They have a good rushing attack, but our defense holds up well vs the rush and the pass. We must tackle well though.” Leading the way up front for the Hawk defense are linemen Jesse Van Wyk, a 6-foot3, 185-pound senior, Kemper Lukehart, a 5-foot-11, 185-pound senior, and junior Rylan James, 6-foot-3 and 210 pounds. Lukehart is the top tackler for the Hawks with 42 solo stops and 23 assisted tackles, and he had four solo quarterback sacks. Van Wyk had 23 solo tackles, 15 assisted tackles and has 10 tackles for loss. James has racked up 11 solo steps and eight assisted tackles. Lynnville-Sully has a solid linebacking corps with senior Sage Zylstra and juniors Evan Squires, Nate Stock and Grant Wehrle. The Hawks’ defen-
Astros
Continued from Page 1B Springer led off the evening with a double against Darvish, and soon it was 2-0. Springer hit his fifth homer — tying the Series mark set by Reggie Jackson and matched by Chase Utley — when he connected for a record fourth game in a row, making it 5-0 in the second. That was plenty for Houston manager A.J. Hinch. He pulled starter Lance McCullers Jr. soon after the curveballer crazily plunked his fourth batter of the game, and began a bullpen parade of four relievers that kept the lead as the Astros overcame a shaky postseason bullpen . “I knew yesterday I didn’t have much,” McCullers said. “I knew I didn’t have much to give other than to gut it out as long as I could.” Forever known for their space-age Astrodome, outlandish rainbow jerseys and a handful of heartbreaking playoff losses, these Astros will be remembered as champions, finally, in their 56th season. The club that wears a star on its hat also filled out the Texas trophy case. Teams
Los Angeles Times Photo Houston Astros’ George Springer hit a two-run home run against Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Yu Darvish (21) in the second inning during Wednesday’s Game 7 of the World Series at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles. It put the Astros up 5-0 on their way to a 5-1 win and the World Series championship. Springer was named the Series MVP.

sive backs are seniors Carson Dunsbergen and Brevin Hansen and juniors Tyson Vander Linden and Gage Vander Leest. Zylstra and Vander Leest each have 34 solo tackles and Zylstra had the lead in fumble recoveries, 6, for the Hawks. Squires has recorded 24 solo tackles and 30 assisted tackles and Wehrle has 23 unassisted tackles and 17 assisted tackles. Dunsbergen has 26 solo tackles and five interceptions, which leads the team. Stock has 22 solo tackles and three solo quarterback sacks. Hudson has a stingy defense, allowing just 5.3 points a game through 10 contests. Ellingson, Geisler and Matt Seres are the guys up front leading the Pirates in tackles. Ellingson has 47 solo tackles, 26 assisted tackles, 20 tackles for loss while Geisler has 47 solo stops, 23 assisted tackles and 15 tackles for loss. Ellingson has 11 quarterback sacks and Matt Seres has 10 sacks. “We’ll have a good game plan going in, and as always, will use our players in a number of different ways to create advantages,” Parkinson said.
Lynnville-Sully counters with an offense powered by a talented backfield of four running backs with 300 yards or more. Zylstra has 587 yards on 87 carries with seven TDs followed by Stock with 454 yards on 52 carries, Squires with 448 yards on 82 carries and Vander Leest with 368 yards on 36 carries with a team-leading eight TDs. Collins had 51 completes in 110 pass attempts of 884 yards and 15 touchdowns. Vander Linden , senior Drake Ehresman and Hansen are the top targets. Vander Linden had seven touchdown receptions. “Our biggest goal this game is to play our best game of the season as we think that will give us a chance to win,” Parkinson said. “We are healthy going into this one and we expect everyone can handle the road test. We’ve had some long road trips this year and should have no problem adjusting to this one...plus it’s a good practice trip for going to the UNI Dome.”
for three straight years — that proclaimed: “Your 2017 World Series Champs” and featured a picture of Springer in a bright Astros jersey. Houston won 101 times this year to take the AL West, then won Games 6 and 7 at home in the AL Championship Series. The Astros joined the 1985 Royals as the only clubs to win a pair of Game 7s in the same year. For the Dodgers, the quest to win a Series for the first time since 1988 fell short. They led the majors with 104 wins and a $240 million payroll, yet it didn’t pay off for part-owner Magic Johnson or manager Dave Roberts. Longtime ace Clayton Kershaw provided four shutout innings of relief for Los Angeles, but it was too late. What the Dodgers really needed was a better starter than Darvish, someone more like the lefty who tossed out a ceremonial first ball: the great Sandy Koufax. After Springer lined a leadoff double, Alex Bregman hit a bouncer that first baseman Cody Bellinger threw past Darvish for an error, allowing a run to score. Bregman aggressively stole third and scored on Altuve’s grounder, and it was
2-0 after eight pitches. A double by Marwin Gonzalez helped set up perhaps McCullers’ biggest contribution, a slow grounder for his first pro RBI. Springer followed with a no-doubt, tworun drive into the left-center field bleachers. That was the Series-most 25th homer in a Major League Baseball season that set a record for home runs. It was easily enough for the Astros to offset pinch-hitter Andre Ethier’s RBI single in the Los Angeles sixth. Only once have the Dodgers clinched a crown at home, that coming in 1963 when Koufax outpitched Yankees star Whitey Ford to finish a sweep. They’ve never won Game 7 of the Fall Classic at their own park, dating more than a century ago to their days on the streets of Brooklyn as the Trolley Dodgers. As pockets of Houston fans got louder and louder in the later innings, the crowd at Dodger Stadium was left to repeat the sad, but hopeful cry that used to echo in Brooklyn: Wait till next year. Just 106 days until pitchers and catchers report to spring training.

Fantasy Football Matchups
Seahawks’ offense f lying high after epic performance FANTASY FORECAST | WEEK 9 QUARTERBACKS
JOE NICHOLSON / USA TODAY SPORTS
Paul Richardson
NFL’s 30th-ranked rush ‘D.’ They also get fifth overall pick Corey Davis in the fold for the first time since Week 2, when he aggravated a hamstring injury that robbed his entire preseason. Waiting a week before starting Davis, though prudent, could backfire because the Titans have made no bones about their intentions of fully unleashing the rookie immediately, even against the Ravens’ tough corners. MUST START: DeMarco Murray, Delanie Walker* SOLID PLAY: Marcus Mariota, Derrick Henry, Rishard Matthews WORTH A LOOK: Corey Davis, Eric Decker
MATCHUPS TO EXPLOIT
Seattle Seahawks
(VS WASHINGTON) After Seattle delivered the final haymaker in perhaps the season’s most epic heavyweight bout, 41-38 over the Texans, this is a no-brainer. But it was only two weeks ago that the Seahawks struggled to generate points three quarters into their visit with the Giants. Meantime, Washington’s ‘D’ appears to be headed straight south, largely because of perhaps the NFL’s worst recent injury rash. Over the past month, that unit has been allowing 30 points per game. There’s room now for Paul Richardson and Tyler Lockett alongside Doug Baldwin in a onedimensional offense. After his late heroics a week ago, Jimmy Graham won’t see a better matchup. Just imagine — don’t presume this week — if acquiring Duane Brown somehow unearths a run game. MUST START: Russell Wilson, Doug Baldwin, Paul Richardson, Jimmy Graham SOLID PLAY: Tyler Lockett WORTH A LOOK: Thomas Rawls
Indianapolis Colts
(AT HOUSTON) The Colts are the week’s biggest underdogs, getting 12-and-a-half points. Yet they gave max effort for Chuck Pagano in Cincinnati, where the Bengals don’t have the defensive issues plaguing Houston — especially through the air. T.Y. Hilton and Donte Moncrief didn’t get dealt at the deadline, but perhaps Indy letting it be known they were available provides a jolt. Houston has allowed an average of 34 rushing yards to quarterbacks over its past four games. Jacoby Brissett, likely playing from behind and praying Anthony Castonzo can slow Jadeveon Clowney, will be a rushing threat, perhaps also maximizing red-hot Jack Doyle and a potentially reinvigorated WR corps against fantasy’s 26th and 24th-ranked ‘D’ vs. tight ends and wideouts, respectively. MUST START: Jack Doyle, T.Y. Hilton SOLID PLAY: Marlon Mack WORTH A LOOK: Jacoby Brissett, Donte Moncrief, Frank Gore
Dallas Cowboys
(VS KANSAS CITY) No Ezekiel Elliott, likely no problem — at least this week. The Chiefs generated five takeaways vs. Denver, vital cologne given they let a Broncos run game managing 3.2 yards per carry the previous two weeks churn 177 yards at 5.7 a pop. And Jerry Jones spilled the beans on more than his vendetta with Roger Goodell; he revealed Alfred Morris would pick up a lot of the slack left if star RB Ezekiel Elliott finally begins serving his six-game suspension as expected. Morris is in play, as are Dez Bryant — WR1 against a Chiefs ‘D’ that’s surrendered a league-high 13 touchdowns to wideouts — and Jason Witten, whom Kansas City faces after A.J. Derby and Jared Cook finished as TE8 and TE7, respectively, the past two games. MUST START: Dak Prescott, Dez Bryant, Alfred Morris SOLID PLAY: Jason Witten WORTH A LOOK: Darren McFadden, Terrance Williams
MATCHUPS TO AVOID
Denver Broncos
(AT PHILADELPHIA) Trevor Siemian isn’t long for the Broncos’ starting job, not with a 3-8 TD-interception ratio amid his club’s three-game skid. Paxton Lynch likely hasn’t practiced long enough since returning from a preseason shoulder injury to supplant Siemian. That potentially leaves Brock Osweiler to guide the Broncos into Philly, where one of the NFL’s more vaunted defensive fronts would welcome the 6-foot-8 deer in headlights behind a road-kill offensive line ranked 29th in sack percentage. Denver’s three-horse backfield showed promise for the first time in weeks, but the Eagles are fantasy’s sixth-ranked (and reality’s top-ranked) run ‘D,’ largely because the offense averages nearly 34 minutes
Tennessee Titans
(VS BALTIMORE) It says here that Baltimore’s run ‘D, one week after essentially buying Jay Ajayi’s plane ticket out of Miami with its dominant shutout last Thursday night, won’t do it again. Both teams had extra rest, but the Titans, coming off their bye, have all hands on deck in a healthy backfield vs. the

Cincinnati Bengals
(AT JACKSONVILLE) A.J. Green vs. Jalen Ramsey will be appointment viewing, and it’s not like you’re sitting Green this week. But Andy Dalton hasn’t fared well against thieving defenses like Jacksonville’s (four picks vs. Baltimore, two apiece vs. Buffalo and Pittsburgh). The Bengals, try as they might with 24.4 rush attempts per game (21st), can’t parlay the persistence into production (78.4-yard average ranks 30th). Unlike Leonard Fournette, the present and future offensive identity in Jacksonville, the Bengals haven’t figured out what exactly they have in Joe Mixon (3.0 YPC, 1 TD) and John Ross (zero catches, currently below fellow rookie Josh Malone on the pecking order) yet. SOLID PLAY: A.J. Green, Joe Mixon WORTH A LOOK: Tyler Kroft LAST RESORT: Andy Dalton, Brandon LaFell
San Francisco 49ers
(VS ARIZONA) The Jimmy GaropploPierre Garcon connection might be alive and well … by Week 12 or so. Meantime, San Francisco trading for Garoppolo doesn’t exactly scream “test Patrick Peterson, Chandler Jones and the Cardinals ‘D’ with Garcon and C.J. Beathard.” Arizona finally, mercifully yanked Justin Bethel off the defense opposite Peterson. So, hobbled Marqise Goodwin, whose semi-hot streak ended in Philly, isn’t a smart sleeper going up against Tramon Williams. The Cardinals run ‘D’ had been superb prior to getting Gurley’d in Week 7, and Carlos Hyde has one RB1 finish and a 44.8-rushing yard average in five career games with a better line than he has now vs. Arizona. WORTH A LOOK: Carlos Hyde, Pierre Garcon LAST RESORT: Marqise Goodwin, George Kittle
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
(AT NEW ORLEANS) Jameis Winston is a tough guy. It’s painfully obvious, however, his sprained right shoulder is still an issue, much like his inability to protect the football (three games with multiple giveaways, including three last week, and the Bucs are 0-3). It’s uncertain whether Winston will even play in New Orleans, where he’s 1-1 in his career with three touchdowns against three turnovers vs. historically bad defenses. That’s not these Saints, fantasy’s sixth-ranked scoring

‘D,’ with 11 takeaways, all in the past five games. Mike Evans battling Marshon Lattimore, like Green-Ramsey, is a highly anticipated debut of blue-chippers colliding.
