Man runs into apartment building fire to warn neighbors as friend dials 911 too late,” Lust said.

The two men had made a late night shopping trip to pick up groceries and go “rut-hunting” to look for deer in advance of the upcoming hunting season when they returned to the building Friday morning. After realizing they couldn’t put the fire out and were unable to reach the fire extinguisher on the upper landing of the building, Lust called 911 while Smith went to the back entrance of the building to attempt to wake up his neighbors and rescue his dog.

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News As friends Rob Smith and Rick Lust pulled into the parking lot of the Meadowbrook Apartments in the early morning hours on Friday, something didn’t look right. It was between 3:45 and 4 a.m. in the morning when the two noticed smoke and saw fire coming out of the front entrance of their apartment building.

“I told him to go inside and try and stomp it out, but the flames were going up the wall, it was

“I yelled ‘Fire, fire, fire, get the [expletive] out’, that’s how I got everyone’s attention,” Smith said.

The 911 call, which police said they received at 3:43 a.m. alerted police and firefighters to the blaze, and Smith said a police officer was on the scene within minutes of the call. Firefighters used ladders to rescue six residents from the second and third floor windows of the building. There were no injuries reported in the blaze.

NHS students explore careers in the trade industry at Heavy Equipment Day

Newton man charged with involuntary manslaughter charge in drug overdose

Derek Bair wanted to make a point to his students, but he needed a little help from his friends first. Bair, who teaches Industrial Technology at Newton High School wanted to show his students that you don’t have to go to college to find a career. To drive home his point, Bair organized a construction equipment expo at the high school. Intended as a “career day” for students who aren’t necessarily interested in college, more than 10 local companies participated in the event.

“We want to get students interested in these careers and get local vendors some new employees,” Bair said.

On Friday afternoon, the east

hesitant to participate last year, they’ve turned out in force this year. Bair said he thinks it’s because these companies have seen the value of recruiting high school kids as they look to replenish their rapidly dwindling ranks.

Nearly three years after a 25-year-old Kellogg woman died of an apparent drug overdose, a Newton man is charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with her death.

Ross R. Wadzinski, 30, recently confessed to Newton police that when Samantha Raper couldn’t inject Oxycodone tablets herself, he did it because she asked him to.

Joyce Conley, of Newton, and a member of the quilter’s club, laughed as she said she will begin on Thursday working on quilts for next year’s auction. Though it might seem like a timely project, Conley said the hobby is rewarding.

“It’s very rare to have a group of quilters like this,” Conley said. “It’s really fun to get together with everybody, and this year we worked in small groups.”

Central Iowa Today Today in History

Today is Monday, Nov. 6, the 310th day of 2017. There are 55 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 6, 1977, 39 people were killed when the Kelly Barnes Dam in Georgia burst, sending a wall of water through Toccoa Falls College.

On this date: In 1860, former Illinois congressman Abraham Lincoln of the Republican Party was elected President of the United States as he defeated John Breckinridge, John Bell and Stephen Douglas.

In 1928, in a first, the results of Republican Herbert Hoover’s presidential election victory over Democrat Alfred E. Smith were flashed onto an electric wraparound sign on the New York Times building.

In 1947, “Meet the Press” made its debut on NBC; the first guest was James A. Farley, former postmaster general and former Democratic National Committee Chair; the host was the show’s co-creator, Martha Rountree.

In 1984, President Ronald Reagan won re-election by a landslide over former Vice President Walter Mondale, the Democratic challenger.

In 1986, former Navy radioman John A. Walker Jr., the admitted head of a family spy ring, was sentenced in Baltimore to life imprisonment. (Walker died in prison in 2014 at age 77.)

In 1990, about one-fifth of the Universal Studios backlot in southern California was destroyed in an arson fire.

Ten years ago: Six lawmakers were killed by a suicide bomber in northern Afghanistan during a visit to a sugar factory; 61 students also died as a result of the bombing and shots fired by guards. Country singer Hank Thompson died in Keller, Texas, at age 82.

Five years ago: President Barack Obama rolled to re-election, vanquishing Republican Mitt Romney as he picked up 332 electoral votes compared to 206 for the former Massachusetts governor; Obama also received 51 percent of the popular vote as opposed to 47 percent for Romney.

One year ago: FBI Director James Comey abruptly announced that Democrat Hillary Clinton should not face criminal charges related to newly discovered emails from her tenure at the State Department.

Today’s Birthdays Actress Sally Field is 71. News correspondent and former California first lady Maria Shriver is 62. Actor Peter DeLuise is 51. Actress Kelly Rutherford is 49.

That’s Odd Fears squashed: Zucchini mistaken for WWII bomb in Germany BERLIN (AP) — A worried resident in Germany alerted police to what he thought was a World War II bomb in his garden. Officers rushed over — and found a particularly large zucchini.

Police were summoned to the scene in Bretten, near the southwestern city of Karlsruhe, on Thursday morning by an 81-year-old man.

They said in a statement Friday that officers determined “the object, which really did look very like a bomb” was actually a nearly 16-inch zucchini.

Your daily look at late-breaking news, upcoming events and the stories that will be talked about today: 1. ‘IT’S UNBELIEVABLE TO SEE CHILDREN, MEN AND WOMEN, LAYING THERE’ A gunman armed with an assault rifle opens fire inside a small church east of San Antonio, killing 26 people.

Victims, many of whom were related, ranged in age from 5 to 72 years old.

Entertainment In $121M debut, ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ open with $121

NEW YORK (AP) — “Thor: Ragnarok” thundered to one of the year’s best box-office debuts with an estimated $121 million domestically, proving again — just as its flexing its muscle — the might of the Walt Disney Co. The robust debut for Marvel’s third “Thor” movie was a welcome shot in

the arm for Hollywood and theater owners who have suffered through a terrible October at the box office. “Thor: Ragnarok” also bucked the trend of diminishing returns for sequels.

The 2011 “Thor” debuted with $65.7 million; 2013’s “Thor: The Dark World” opened with $85.7 million.

often you see the second and third installments in the franchise outpacing the previous issue,” said David Hollis, Disney’s distribution chief. “You don’t expect never-ending returns when it comes to sequels, but it definitely speaks to the quality of the talent at the Marvel Studios team and the way they’re thinking about each film out of the gate.”

The weekend’s other new nationwide release, STX Entertainment’s “A Bad Moms Christmas,” opened with $17 million over the weekend and $21.6 million since opening Wednesday, according to studio estimates Sunday.

The holiday-themed sequel, which returns stars Mila Kunis, Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn, came in shy of the 2016 original’s $23.8 million opening.

But the big story was “Thor,” which also grossed $151.4 million in its second week of international release.

The film has, in 10 days, made $427 million worldwide.

Disney isn’t alone in being able to roll out such blockbusters but three of the year’s five $100 million-plus releases are theirs. (Disney’s other two are “Beauty and the Beast” and “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2”) The studio has recently, as reported by The Wall Street Journal earlier this week, pushed new terms to theater owners, saying it will demand a 65 percent cut of ticket sales for its upcoming “Star Wars” film “The Last Jedi,” as opposed to the more

typical 60 percent.

Hollis declined to discuss the studio’s negotiations with theaters but said, “We’re hopeful that our big films will help drive our mutual success.”

The Los Angeles Times also said Friday that Disney barred its critic from attending “Thor: Ragnarok” after the paper published an investigative report about Disneyland’s business ties with the city of Anaheim.

In a statement Friday, Disney said that the two-piece report showed “a complete disregard for basic journalistic standards.”

The issue of revenue splitting is an acute one for theater owners who are already fighting against up-and-down ticket sales and mounting competition from streaming outlets.

Disney plans to launch a streaming service in 2019 that will include some film releases.

It’s often been feast or famine this year at the box office. August was historically dismal, September swung to record-breaking highs, and October again badly slumped with the lowest overall gross in a decade. The year is running down 4.8 percent off last year’s record pace according to comScore.

Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst for comScore, expects November will, thanks to “Thor,” Warner Bros.’ “Justice League” and the Disney-Pixar release “Coco,” swing back up.

“It’s like a tennis match.

We’re up. We’re down. It’s not for the faint of heart,” Dergarabedian said. “The industry has its work cut out for it to make up that nearly 5 percent deficit as we hit the home stretch of what has been an incredibly volatile box-office year.”

“After what we went through we had a few beers to relax, you’re so nervous you want a cigarette, even while the fire’s still going,” Lust said. “We’re all human and we can laugh because no one lost their life.”

Smith, who is disabled, has been a resident of the complex for the past three years. On Friday morning as he stood in the shattered doorframe of his third-floor apartment, he

Conley said she turns 70 next month, and the quilter’s club includes many women from her high school class, which has provided her with many lasting friendships.

The finished products hung on the walls of the chapel of the Salvation Army, some with bright colors — others black and white. Conley said to make the large quilts it typically costs more than $300 in materials. The quilts were auctioned off for $200 or more.

Captain Janelle Cleaveland of the Salvation Army said the event drew in more than 120 people. It was Cleaveland’s first time experiencing the auction as she began serving Jasper County this year.

Cleaveland said she believes the annual auction is an important community event because the quilters work really hard all year long.

“All of the money goes to Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets and the Christmas toys, and all of the services we have to help those in need in the community,” Cleaveland said.

Each gift basket was donated by a Salvation Army advisory board member and was arranged based on a theme such as kitchen, bath and body, children, movies and more.

The items were auctioned off by Major Greg Thompson, divisional commander for the western division of the Salvation Army.

“I’m very blessed and thankful they attended our event,” Cleaveland said.

“Thanks to everyone who showed up and supported the Salvation Army.”

Ron Cox, the human resources manager at Halbrook Excavating, based in Ankeny said he believes careers in the trades have fallen by the wayside. Participating in events like the one at Newton High School on Friday gives him a chance to let high school students know there’s a good job waiting for them in the heavy equipment industry if they’re interested. An ongoing construction boom in the Des Moines metro area means there’s plenty of work, but a shortage of qualified employees.

“We’re hiring, we’ve had a hard time keeping up ourselves and finding employees,” Cox said. “We want to let them know that there’s a career here for them, they can make a decent living and earn while they learn.”

Getting paid to learn is one of the hallmarks of the industry, Cox said, and it’s something that distinguishes the industry from col-

lege, where many students rack up massive amounts of debt before graduating.

Starting construction wages range from $18-20 an hour, and previous experience isn’t a requirement.

David Halbrook, the vice president of Halbrook Excavating, said he’s just hoping to pass on the same passion for the industry that he and his coworkers have.

After a short stint in college, Halbrook said he found a home in the construction industry, and he’s hoping to share his story with others.

“There’s a stigma that it’s below going to college, but college isn’t for everyone,” Halbrook said. “There’s huge potential here, you can get your foot in the door in a hurry.”

As he walked through the parking lot Friday afternoon, NHS sophomore Hunter Northey was impressed by all of the machinery on display.

Northey, an industrial technology student at NHS, said he’s already considering a career outside of college when he graduates.

His mother is a welder and former welding instructor at DMACC in Ankeny, and he’s planning on a career in the industry himself. Unlike many students, he said he hasn’t faced pressure to attend college instead of pursuing a career in the trade industry, his parents

have left the door open for Northey to choose his own career after high school.

His mother’s only educational requirement is one that Northey fully expect to meet.

“It’s really up to me, but they did tell me that they expect me to finish high school,” Northey said.

A hand-up, not a handout I

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Nov. 6, 2017

Candidly Unfiltered Kayla Singletary

t’s easy to judge that man talking to himself while he walks down the street or the woman with three screaming children in her shopping cart at Walmart. It’s easy to have misconceptions of people without truly knowing their stories.

As the holidays are quickly approaching, struggling families are signing up for assistance. Whether it’s Thanksgiving and Christmas food baskets or toys and gifts for their children, the help truly makes a difference.

The Salvation Army in Newton

is oftentimes the first establishment people go to for help and hope. As a Salvation Army advisory board member, I volunteered to help with holiday assistance application signups last week.

The experience was eye-opening as well as humbling. Some individuals I helped didn’t say a lot, but they were polite and then on their way after completing the required forms. Others were like an open book.

One woman shared she never thought she’d be in the situation she’s in with raising multiple grandchildren. She said being granted

custody of them at her age had been hard. Another man shared he didn’t have heat at his residence all winter last year, and another woman shared she had multiple medical issues along with her husband.

The residents of Jasper County who receive holiday assistance must qualify for it. However, I didn’t ask for their stories, and I also didn’t question them. I think more than 20 people who entered the Salvation Army had an expression of relief, and they treat the building as a “safe space.” The way they interacted with the staff made me believe they are truly thankful for their help.

I also believe the staff at the Salvation Army have a way of building relationships with community members that resembles friendship and that of a family with no judgments. The fact that many people

feel comfortable enough to share what’s truly going on in their lives is a testament to how kind and caring the staff members are.

I hope this holiday season we can all treat each other with similar kindness and with “no questions asked” when someone is in need.

I think it’s safe to say we have all been in situations where we needed a hand-up. I think there is a big difference between a hand-up and a handout.

It doesn’t matter what kind of giving you decide to do in the next few months, whether it’s donating to local food pantries, ringing bells at the grocery store or buying gifts for the angel tree. Just know each person you’re helping has a real and unique story.

Eye on America John Stossel

Communism turns 100 This year marks the hundredth anniversary of one of the worst mistakes ever made: the Communist revolution in Russia.

Communist regimes went on to kill about 100 million people. Most died in famines after socialist tyrants forced people to practice inefficient collective farming. Millions of others were executed in political purges.

Yet when the Russian Revolution happened, people both inside and outside Russia were excited. Crowds cheered Lenin. No longer would nobles rule; no longer would capitalists exploit workers.

Now the people would prosper together.

British journalist Theodore Rothstein wrote, “The undivided sway of the Imperialist nightmare is at an end ...(there will be) rule of the labouring classes.”

But you can’t have government plan every aspect of people’s lives and expect things to go well. Instead, you get bureaucratic planning commissions and secret police.

That won’t stop some Americans from celebrating Communism’s anniversary.

A day of anti-Trump protests is scheduled for Nov. 4, and I’m sure some protestors will wave hammer-and-sickle flags. Some will wear Che Guevara shirts.

A few commentators will call the protesters “idealistic” but impractical. They shouldn’t. We should call them supporters of mass murder.

Lenin ordered the hanging of 100 property owners at the very start of the Revolution, saying people needed to see the deaths of “landlords, rich men, bloodsuckers.”

Mass murder and starvation rapidly increased the death toll after that.

It wasn’t exactly what philosopher Karl Marx had in mind — but it shouldn’t have surprised anyone.

Marx’s writing is filled with comparisons of capitalists to werewolves and other predators who must be destroyed.

Marx admitted that capitalism is productive but said that “capital obtains this ability only by constantly sucking in living labor as its soul, vampire-like.”

Even as the Russian regime killed millions, some journalists and intellectuals covered up the crimes.

Stalin kept most media out, so few Americans knew that millions were starving, but New York Times writer Walter Duranty saw it first-hand.

Yet he “covered up Stalin’s crimes,” says Tom Palmer of the Atlas Network, a group that promotes free market ideas around the world.

Because Duranty wanted to support “the cause,” he wrote that “report of a famine in Russia is today an exaggeration or malignant propaganda.”

Duranty “saw the truckloads of bodies,” says Palmer, yet “he wrote on the front page of The New York Times how wonderful everything was.” He even got a Pulitzer Prize for it.

In some ways, times haven’t changed that much.

This year, the Times ran a series of essays commemorating the anniversary of Russian Communism, including one piece arguing that sex was better in the Soviet Union because the Revolution destroyed macho capitalist culture.

At least The New York Times eventually admitted that Duranty’s work was “some of the worst reporting in this newspaper,” but the Pulitzer committee never withdrew its prize.

Communism kills wherever it’s practiced. But people still people believe. Making a video (https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxMWs8RyLLI) on Communism’s hundredth anniversary, I interviewed Lily Tang Williams, who grew up under the regime in China.

“Big, powerful government, it’s very scary,” she warns. “It will keep growing like cancer, will never stop. If you empower government, not the individuals, we’re going to lose this free country!”

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

YOUR VIEW

Disappointed in Grassley vote In Grassley’s “Letter to The Editor” Oct. 7, he states “how he urged Trump to crack down on excessive travel before Tom Price resigned.” The great watchdog of taxpayers’ money declares: “Anybody who doesn’t get the message that taxpayers come first shouldn’t be in public service.”

The votes to confirm Tom

Price as Health and Human Services Secretary in February 2017 took place amid allegations that Price bought and sold health care company stock while in elected office. Then misstated the timing of purchase and did not report these transactions.

Price introduced a bill to prevent changes in Medicare reimbursements for medical equipment. Then Sen. Price, while in the Senate, turns around and purchases $15,000 shares of a medical equipment com-

pany. Grassley had to be aware of Price’s conflict of interest.

So our great watchdog voted to confirm Tom Price as Health and Human Services Secretary.

I say any senator that voted to confirm Tom Price as Secretary of Health and Human Services shouldn’t be in public service, Senator Grassley you don’t let the fox in the hen house and then claim you are protecting the taxpayers.

We can make it less profitable to traffic opioids

By John A. Cassara and Nathan Proctor

The president will now declare what many of us experience first hand, the opioid epidemic is a national emergency.

Frankly, with as many as 59,000 deaths in 2016, there doesn’t seem to be any other possible description.

So many dedicated people in cities and towns, faith communities and schools, families and hospitals are fighting to save lives and help people escape addiction.

But there are also a lot of people working to keep illegal opioids on the streets.

With 2.6 million opioid addicts in the United States, the scale of drug-running operations is immense, as are the profits. It’s not a mystery why the cartels build these operations, they do it for the money — and there is a lot of money to be had.

The Office of National Drug Control policy estimates that of the $65 billion spent on illegal drugs each year, about $1 billion, or 1.5 percent, is seized by all federal agencies combined. That means some 98.5 percent of the profits from trafficking remain in the hands of the cartels and other narco

traffickers.

We can and must stop that free flow of money, which, besides flooding our communities with cheap heroin, helps strengthen these criminal enterprises.

As the bipartisan Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control wrote in 2013: “[W]e have become convinced that we cannot stop the drug trade without first cutting off the money that flows to drug trafficking organizations.”

There are simple steps we can take now that go after that money. For starters, we must get rid of anonymous shell companies — companies formed with no way of knowing who owns or controls them (known as the “beneficial owner.”)

As documented in the report “Anonymity Overdose,” traffickers can hide and move drug proceeds through anonymous shell companies because starting such companies requires zero personal information.

One of the most dangerous chemicals associated with the opioid crisis is fentanyl — some 50 times more potent than heroin. Deaths from fentanyl overdoses are up 540 percent in the last three years.

Law enforcement agents

have cataloged how fentanyl is often shipped to the U.S. from China.

Sometimes the drugs or drug-making supplies are sent from, and addressed to, a set of anonymous companies.

These companies, which are not connected to the real owner (and sometimes not even connected to a real person), can open bank accounts, transfer money, and buy real estate. Law enforcement does not have access to who is behind these entities.

Requiring all companies formed in the United States disclose their beneficial owners would enable law enforcement to more effectively follow the money trail to the top. Bipartisan legislation has been introduced in both chambers of Congress which would do just that, and we believe this is something Congress should enact as soon as possible.

As we ask ourselves what else can we do to stand against this epidemic, it’s follow the money. ​John A. Cassara is a former U.S. Treasury special agent, who spent much of his career investigating money laundering and terrorist financing. His latest book is titled “Trade-Based Money Laundering: The Next Frontier in International Money Laundering Enforcement.” Nathan Proctor is a co-author of “Anonymity Overdose.”

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

New carpet provokes old complaints from husband

DEAR ABBY: I have been married for 45 years. My husband and I get along fine. We each have our little quirks, but after all these years, we are used to each other. There is just one thing that really bugs me about him. When repairs need to be done outside the house, we have it done — new roof, new siding, driveway paved, even solar panels. We have also done some work inside, such as remodeling the kitchen and bathrooms.

Twelve years after moving into our home, I finally insisted that it be repainted on the inside. My husband griped about it nonstop. I told him he didn’t have to do the painting; we would hire someone to do the job.

(He did have to help me move the furniture.)

Well, now it’s time to replace the carpet. It’s original. It’s 30 years old, stained and worn out. Again, he’s griping and complaining. It drives a wedge between us. Money isn’t the issue. He says I am “always bothering him with one thing after another.”

Is it asking too much to have these things done inside my home after so many years? — “NAGGING” WIFE DEAR WIFE: I don’t think so.

Nothing lasts forever, and that includes carpet. Make a deal with him — you will hire someone to move the furniture this time if he will stop complaining. The disruption will be over in a few days, and the interior of your home will look fresher and newer once that carpet is history.

DEAR ABBY: I have a problem I don’t think you have ever addressed.

Both of my testicles have been removed. Fortunately, they were not cancerous. It doesn’t bother my wife, which is a blessing. Most support groups are for cancer survivors, and I’m wondering if you know of any groups for men like me. Some days I still can’t cope with it because this is part of being a man. Any suggestions? — TRYING TO COPE IN OKLAHOMA

DEAR TRYING TO COPE: The doctor who saw you through the procedure may be able to refer you to a group or a therapist who can help you with your adjustment. If you haven’t already contacted that physician, it would be a good place to start.

Although most members of support groups are probably cancer survivors, you still will have much in common, so keep an open mind before dismissing the idea entirely.

DEAR ABBY: What is the appropriate response when I get an invitation to go somewhere and I must decline because I can’t afford it or don’t want to pay for it? I’m trying to cut my expenses, and I’m embarrassed that I can’t afford any new expenses.

I appreciate the invitations, and sometimes, if it’s worth it to me, I will accept. I don’t want to lie when I really want to say, “This expense isn’t worth it to me.” What can I say that won’t hurt anyone’s feelings and won’t get me caught in a lie? — DON’T WANT TO LIE DEAR DON’T WANT TO LIE: It isn’t shameful to admit to someone that money is tight and you have to cut expenses, so you can’t attend an event. It’s something that everyone should be able to identify with. However, you should refrain from saying the expense “isn’t worth it to you,” because it comes across as judgmental, and the person may take offense.

1 Man suspected of killing his girlfriend’s father

DES MOINES— A 26-year-old Iowa man is suspected of killing his girlfriend’s father.

The suspect was arrested early Sunday after having a fight with 46-year-old Timothy Neal.

Neal died at Iowa Lutheran Hospital after the confrontation with the 26-year-old who lives in Pleasant Hill.

Police didn’t immediately say what prompted the fight or what the nature of Neal’s injuries were.

Man guilty a second time for 2014 killing AVOCA — An Iowa man has been found guilty a second time of killing a woman at his western Iowa home in 2014. A judge issued the verdict Friday against Robert Reynolds.

He faces up to 50 years in prison when he’s sentenced Dec. 13 for the second-degree murder conviction. Reynolds was first convicted three years ago of first-degree murder for the April 2014 of killing 64-year-old Patricia Kinkade-Dorsey.

Man can’t avoid trial using ‘stand your ground’ IOWA CITY — A judge has ruled that a man accused in a deadly shooting on Iowa City’s pedestrian mall cannot avoid trial using Iowa’s new “stand your ground” law as a defense.

Wilson is charged with first-degree murder, attempted murder and intimidation with a dangerous weapon in connection with an Aug. 27 shooting that killed one man and injured two others.

Business owners move headquarters into former school building WO RT H I N G T O N (AP) — Mike Sauerbry and Jake Willey never anticipated going back to school quite like this.

The Asbury residents recently moved the headquarters for their two businesses, Super Stars of the Game and Packer Connection, into the former St. Paul Catholic School in Worthington.

While the new location seemed bizarre at first, Sauerbry said, it was probably the best decision that he and Willey have made for the web-based businesses.

“I thought the idea was nuts,” Sauerbry said.

“It just seemed crazy to even think of moving into a school.”

But the more he looked into it, the more ideal the building appeared.

Both businesses, one of which specializes in selling autographed sports memorabilia and the other which organizes Green Bay Packers autograph signing events, operate completely online, so Worthington’s rural location didn’t matter.

The businesses’ previous building in Asbury had grown too small to hold their entire inventory. The school building’s classrooms provided more than enough space.

“All of that building for the price made it a steal. We really couldn’t pass it up,” Sauerbry said.

AP Photo In this photo, Mike Sauerbry, left, and his partner Jake Willey have turned the former St. Paul’s School in Worthington into the location for their sports memorabilia businesses, Super Stars of the Game and Packers Connection, both located online.

He declined to disclose the sales price, but online records show the property was bought

by Frank Clasen, who is Willey’s uncle, for $165,000. Sauerbry said he and Willey will buy the building from Clasen in the near future.

The school closed in 2014 after declining enrollment made it economically unsustainable to keep open.

It then remained mostly unoccupied for several years, with the exception of St. Paul Catholic Church continuing to use the school offices and a few local charities using some of the classrooms as storage space.

Worthington Mayor Bill Burger said he proposed that the city purchase the building about a year ago, but he was unable to find additional

support.

Earlier this year, Willey said he stumbled on the building while working at his second job as a real-estate agent.

“I knew we needed space, so I was keeping my eye out,” he said.

“When I saw it, it just made sense to me.”

In late September, Sauerbry and Willey moved their businesses into the building.

While many of the classrooms will be used as storage space, Sauerbry said a few will be renovated into apartments for both himself and his mother. He also said the gymnasium will be available for rent for events.

He said some classrooms and offices also have been leased out to the church and local charities.

“We want to make

sure the community can still use it,” Sauerbry said. “This is an important building for them.”

Burger noted that he is happy the new owners have been open to allowing the community to continue using the building.

“It seems like they are pretty open to the community,” he said. “I’m sure they are going to make a good addition.”

With the benefits of the building and the support of the community, Sauerbry said he doesn’t know why his businesses didn’t move into the old school sooner.

“It honestly surprises me that someone else didn’t move into here before we did,” he said. “This is literally the perfect situation for an online business, and I know there are more closed schools like this.”

Well-known eastern Iowa truck stop will get bigger WALCOTT (AP) — A well-known truck stop in eastern Iowa that bills itself as the world’s biggest will get even larger as crews begin a $10 million expansion and remodeling that will create more retail space and expand a food court.

The expansion will add 23,000 square feet of space to the truck stop, which already had a main building of about 100,000 square feet. The truck stop, about 10 miles northwest of Davenport, sprawls across 200 acres.

Delia Moon Meier, senior vice president of the Iowa 80 Group, said the project was a “re-make of everything.”

Changes at the stop include moving restaurants to a larger space that will have room for 10 restaurants and converting the existing food court into a larger convenience store with a kitchen allowing customers to prepare the expanded offerings.

The move is driven by changes in the trucking industry that has led truckers to buy more “grab-and-go” food because they don’t have time to stop for lunch, said Meier.

Iowa 80 Group marketing manager Heather DeBaillie said new federal rules that limit truckers to operating 11 hours a day were a big reason for the expansion.

“Once their day starts, the drivers keep going because they’re on the clock,” Meier added.

“They’re not even going to have fast food, that’s not fast enough.”

The new construction plan is the second part of a three-phase project.

Earlier work included the installation of new gasoline islands and infrastructure upgrades.

The third phase will include a tree-lined boulevard and an arch that welcomes drivers.

Meier’s father, Bill Moon, founded the truck stop in 1964.

Man hurt, three animals die in RV fire in parking lot DES MOINES (AP) — Authorities say one man was injured and three pets died after a recreational vehicle caught fire in a Walmart parking lot in Des Moines.

Local scouts fundraise, make connections Spaghetti dinner draws support

By Kayla Singletary Newton Daily News Following some exciting news within the Boy Scout Troop 354, as one of Newton’s own attained the rank of Eagle Scout, it was apparent the troop’s leaders were beaming with pride Friday night. The scout’s third annual spaghetti dinner drew in about 100 attendees at the McCann Center.

As the tables filled up with hungry guests, the group of scouts served spaghetti plates and then washed a mound of dishes. The meal was not just a fundraiser, but it was a way for the boys to connect with their community.

“This an opportunity for them to work with the community and get them out in front of people,” Todd Townsend, Committee Chair-

man said. “This night allows them to be around people they aren’t used to being around every day.”

Townsend said he is also appreciative of the connections and partnerships that have already been established.

“We are really happy they support them,” Townsend said. “It’s very important because our boys try to be out in the community a lot and they try to do service projects.”

Some of the most recent service projects and events the boy scouts have participated in include participation in service at a Newton football game and other projects aimed at helping others in the community.

“We did senior night at the football game with flags with the veterans, and we recently completed work out at the Christian Conference Center,” Aaron McConeghey, a

committee member said.

The scouts also contributed to the Gaga Pit project which helped earn Gage Linahon his Eagle Scout designation, McConeghey said.

When the troop of 35 scouts takes trips for those projects, Scoutmaster Matt Rogahn said he hears nothing but positive feedback about the boys’ character.

“A lot of times the community will see these boys

out working, and we get a lot of compliments about these guys and their good work ethic,” Rogahn said. “We also do a real good job coordinating, helping out and serving.”

Rogahn said the compliments aren’t uncommon when the troop travels and goes out to camp once a month.

“We usually stop and eat somewhere and it’s not uncommon for people to come up to us and compliment on how clean and how well-mannered they are,” Rogahn said.

Upcoming projects for the scouts include helping with the St. Nick’s Christmas program and assisting with the food pantry at The Salvation Army.

Troop 354 of the Mid Iowa Council is chartered under the Woodrow Wilson PTA. Weekly meetings are held 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday evenings at Our Savior Lutheran Church.

Least of Saints Ministry finds forever home

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News On its third try, the Least of Saints Ministry has found its forever home. After starting at the former Axtell care dealership and then moving downtown, the ministry will now be located at the Iron Sharpens Iron Church, 1305 E. 10th St. S. The relocation was a few months in the making, said Pastor Scott Greene. Once he found out the building his ministry was located in had sold, he knew a move was coming and started looking around the city.

“The people that bought it have a different situation they want to do in that building,” Greene said. “We had looked around town to find something that would work for us and every time we thought we had something, it just was not going to work out.

Whether it was too expensive or too much work on it, just these things would stop it.”

During the search pro-

cess, Greene said he “gave it up to God” to let Him handle the deal. While still looking, Greene got a call from Richard and Cheryl Palmer at Iron Sharpens Iron about an offer to have Least of Saints join them at their church.

“It is a miracle, it is God’s work and it is a miracle that this went on,” Green said. “It is a gift from God is what it is.”

Green said he had known Richard Palmer for quite a few years but never expected the generous offer.

“We have a lot of the same goals in ministry and once we sat down and talked to them, it was just amazing how much we have in common,” Palmer said. “I don’t think you could have picked two churches to join any better.”

The timing of the offer was key for both parties with Green saying he didn’t know if he was ready until now.

“I think what happened is they would have made this phone call sooner but there were a few hurdles

they had on their end that they needed to get around and one that was corrected they called us,” Greene said. “This whole thing is God’s timing.”

Services for Least of Saints remain at 5 p.m. on Saturdays with Bible studies during the week.

Kayla Singletary/Daily News Pastor Scott Green, of Least of Saints Ministry, preaches his first sermon at Iron Sharpens Iron Church Saturday evening.

Kayla Singletary/Daily News The band with Least of Saints Ministry plays at Iron Sharpens Iron Church at its new location, during a Saturday service.

Greene also said the two ministries plan to work together on events in the future, including outdoor activities on the properties acreage.

With the move, the ministry will no longer be in downtown Newton and centrally located parishioners. Greene said he isn’t worried about the change in location and has a good

feeling about the future of Least of Saints.

“It will change things because we won’t be right downtown but I have a feeling that God is going to do tremendous things out there now that we have moved there,” Green said. “If it is a bigger congregation, that is great, but it just brings a new excitement to the congre-

gation and to myself along with a renewed sense of motivation.”

Known as a “biker church,” Greene thought there may be hurdles to joining a traditional church setting. Upon arriving at the church, he said he was humbled by the acceptance he felt and the excitement for what was to come.

“When I walked in Sunday to do their service, I knew they have had people who have attended the church for years and years,” Greene said. “I walked in and said ‘good morning ladies, I’m Pastor Scott,’ and they said we know who you are and we’ve been waiting for you, we thank God you showed up. As much as people say you get stereotyped, apparently I must

do that, too, because I had the impression these were the three I needed to win over to let them know, I know what I appear to be but I am a faithful man.

I didn’t even have to tell them that, they showed me all of the love you can imagine.”

Mostly, Greene is excited to get started. Not having a looming eviction over his head anymore, the sky is the limit for the partnership.

“It is an exciting move, the pressure is off about where are you going to go next and when it will happen,” Greene said. “We are grateful and we are happy and we’re excited about the future.”

Iowa church turned into a parsonage FORT DODGE (AP) — It’s far more than you’d expect for a parsonage.

The Rev. Dan Prochaska preaches at By the Grace of God Church in Barnum every Sunday.

And every night during the week, he comes home to a restored 91-year-old church building in Fort Dodge where he lives.

The sanctuary is filled with instruments, antiques, and a table for entertaining guests. A recliner sits at one side, while the open space connected with the sanctuary is set up as a living room, complete with couches and TV.

The goal in this unique parsonage was to preserve history — to make sure the old Slavic Lutheran church wasn’t torn down.

“We wanted to save it,” said Millie Nordeen, who is a member of Prochaska’s church. “It probably would have been demolished... we wanted to show you can do something with something old.”

A member of the Lauderdale Questers, Nordeen invited all the area Questers to have coffee at the parsonage and learn about its history in October. The Questers are an international or-

people built what is now Prince of Peace Lutheran Church.

After that, the little church went to Pentecostals. Then it was Methodist.

“As we delved into the history, I found out my grandmother went to church here in 1930,” Prochaska said. “My uncle went here in 1938. My aunt was baptized here in 1929. All my family on my mother’s side went to church here. My mother went to church here, and I went to church here when it was New Christian Covenant.”

Prochaska said many members of his family were married in the church.

“From 1934 on, a lot on my mom’s side married here,” he said.

“When I went to church here I remember I sang a lot of solos over in that corner.”

The building was unused for a while, before they bought it in early 2015, Prochaska said.

He moved in on Dec. 31, 2015.

“I really bought this just to save it. I thought it was going to be torn down,” Nordeen said.

“But it cost a lot more to restore it than it did to buy it.”

The flat roof leaked like a sieve, she said, and the ceilings had all kinds of problems. They also put in a new bathroom on the main floor. The

man they hired to help them actually lived in the church during some of the work, and at times would work during all hours of the night, she said.

Nordeen and Prochaska had a lot to do as well.

“She helped with a lot of this out here working.

She was a climbing monkey,” Prochaska said.

They also had to rent a sander to restore the wood floor in the basement.

Nordeen wanted Prochaska to have this house because he preaches for the church for no pay.

“He does everything at the church. Bulletins, music, preaching,” she said.

It took some time getting used to living in such a space, Prochaska said. Of course, he’s not unfamiliar with large old buildings; he’s also the caretaker for the Vincent House.

“For the first month, I kept the lights on,” he said.

The Sunday school kids from Prochaska’s church come out at the end of the year for a party, and use the gym in the basement.

“I’ve acquired many family functions,” he said. “In December I’m having my mother’s 80th birthday party here.”

With Prochaska’s large collection of antiques, it was also a good place to host the Questers.

“I wonder what the old Slavic Germans would think of us all here eating pie,” Pat Crumley said.

They have also opened the church up to former members of the old congregations.

“The first year I was here, Millie and I opened it for a woman who used to go to church here,” Prochaska said.

Nordeen said the woman was ill at the time.

“She had cancer,” Prochaska said. “So we had a tea party here for her.

She died just afterward.”

She was very appreciative, he said.

ganization focused on appreciation of antiques and restoring old buildings.

Prochaska gave a presentation on the history of the church. In the 1900s, he said, there were Slavic families who worked in the gypsum mills.

“They did not speak English, but they had a strong desire for spiritual upbringing. They started to meet in people’s homes,” Prochaska told. “Finally they decided they needed a permanent place to worship.”

In 1924 the Rev. Hronek organized the first service, Prochaska said, but this was at St. Paul’s Lutheran School.

By 1926, the families had raised more money, and the church was completed.

A team of horses hoisted the church bell up into the tower, which is no longer there. The people also hoisted an organ into the balcony.

“It was the Slavic Evangelical Lutheran St. Peter and Paul Church,” he said. “It was connected with St. Paul Lutheran Church as well.”

The Slavic church disbanded, and the building became Trinity Evangelical Lutheran, which hosted between 25 to 30 student preachers who would come through month after month, Prochaska said. As that congregation grew, the

NCMP’s Blommers claims 10th at state

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News MARSHALLTOWN — It was her fastest time this season in a swimming pool which did not yield many exceptional times on Saturday.

NCMP junior Lindsey Blommers was emotional following the 100-yard breaststroke race at Saturday’s 2017 Iowa Girls’ High School State Swimming and Diving Championships.

“I was just thinking about the race plan as the first heat was finishing,” Blommers said.

“This whole week we worked on my tempo. I feel like my tempo was a lot faster today.

I felt strong through the race — it hurt a lot and Coach P (Sarah Patterson) always said it will hurt when you’re putting in the effort. It’s the best I could do today.”

Blommers, who holds the NCMP Aquagirls’ records in the 100-yard and 100-meter breaststroke events, posted a season’s best 1 minute, 7.45 seconds. Her regional time was 1:07.64. Following the three heat races, Blommers placed 10th at the state meet.

“She had a great swim. We worked on having quicker breakouts and coming off the walls quicker, and we saw that from Lindsey today,” NCMP assistant coach Jenny Jensen said. “It wasn’t quite the time she wanted but she’s one of the

hardest workers we have, and it will all work out for her.”

Jensen said the Marshalltown YMCA/YWCA swimming pool was not the fastest

pool. She said with a few exceptions, there were not a lot of outstanding swims in Saturday’s state races.

“Lindsey was right there in

her race. One of our goals was to move up spots in the standings, and she moved up two spots after coming in seeded 12th,” Jensen said. “It was a

long wait for her to swim today, but I believe it was worth it for her.”

Third-ranked Pirates stymie eighth-ranked Hawks

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Lynnville-Sully football seniors gather around to accept the 2017 state playoff participant trophy after falling 30-0 to host Hudson in Friday’s Class A playoff quarterfinal game. The eighth-ranked Hawks finished 9-1.

HUDSON — Running the football pushed eighth-ranked Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks to the team’s first undefeated regular season since 1999, a first-round playoff victory and into a Class A quarterfinal game.

“Our name brand — running the football — didn’t work tonight against a very good opponent. We couldn’t establish it like we wanted. Sometimes when you can’t get it rolling, you turn to other things,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Mike Parkinson said after the Hawks lost 30-0 to third-ranked Hudson on Friday night.

“I thought our aerial attack was good. We just didn’t connect on some things. We handled the ball well with not many turnovers. But tonight, the better team won.”

Dominant Hawks ruin Ohio State’s championship hopes

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News IOWA CITY — Sean Welsh made it sound so simple.

“We had our best week of preparation all season,” said the Ohio native and starting offensive guard. “I think it does boil down to that. When you have that good week of practice it gives you the confidence to come out and play well regardless of who you are playing.”

Who the Hawkeyes were playing was the mighty Ohio State. The thirdranked team in the country according to the Associated Press poll. A team averaging 46 points and 570 yards per game.

None of that mattered inside a sold out Kinnick Stadium though.

The Hawkeyes started their nearly-perfect night with an Amani Hooker pick six, Akrum Wadley had 158 total yards and Nate Stanley threw a

career-high five touchdowns.

It all ended in a 55-24 Iowa blowout victory.

“It was an outstanding effort,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. “We came into this game heavy underdogs, and for good reason. Ohio State is a tremendous football team. Our guys believed in themselves. They played with great energy, great effort and played opportunistic football.”

Iowa, which came into the game as 20-point underdogs, forced Heisman hopeful J.T. Barrett into four interceptions. He came into the game with just one pick in his first eight games.

Josh Jackson tied a school-record with three interceptions, and the Hawkeyes (6-3 overall, 3-3 in Big Ten play) turned every mistake into points.

The loss was just the second road defeat for Ohio State under head coach Urban Meyer.

West Virginia hands No. 14 Iowa State first loss since September MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — A scolding from coach Dana Holgorsen after a double-digit loss a week ago helped West Virginia’s players regain their focus and throw a wrench in No. 14 Iowa State’s magical season.

Will Grier threw two touchdown passes, Justin Crawford broke out of a threegame slump with 102 yards rushing and West Virginia held on for a 20-16 victory over the Cyclones on Saturday.

The Mountaineers (6-3, 4-2 Big 12) became bowl eligible and knocked the Cyclones (6-3, 4-2, No. 15 CFP) out of a four-way tie for first place.

Iowa State trailed 20-0 late in the second quarter and never recovered in losing on the road for the first time.

Holgorsen had publicly ridiculed his team for lacking toughness last week in a loss to Oklahoma State, and the Mountaineers started well Saturday on both sides of the ball and their big lead held up.

“I was proud of our guys with the way that they responded with me kind of calling them out,” Holgorsen said. “We ran the ball effectively and played pretty smart.”

Not all the time.

West Virginia penalties extended three scoring drives for the Cyclones in the second half, but Iowa State twice settled for field goals inside the 10-yard line to pull within 20-16. The Cyclones got the ball back with five minutes left after D’Andre Payne ripped the ball from West Virginia’s David Sills in the end zone for an interception.

But West Virginia’s Kenny Robinson broke up Kyle Kempt’s fourth-down pass to Marchie Murdock at the Iowa State 37.

West Virginia’s Kennedy McKoy then ran for a first down on third-and-17, and the Mountaineers ran out the clock.

“I give so much credit to our kids,” Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said.

“They just kept fighting and kept playing.

They gave themselves a chance to win at the end of the football game. We just came up short. A lot of those had to do

Drake gets new athletic director in Marquette’s Brian Hardin DES MOINES (AP) — Brian Hardin has been hired as Drake’s athletic director.

President Marty Martin said Tuesday that Hardin will replace Sandy Hatfield-Club in early December.

Hardin, a native of Des Moines, was a deputy athletic director at Marquette. He also worked at Ball State and Notre Dame.

Martin cited Hardin’s “reputation for success and integrity in all facets of athletics administration at Division I institutions.”

Hardin inherits a new men’s basketball coach in Niko Medved. But perhaps his two biggest short-term challenges will be to oversee the Drake Relays, an international track and field meet held every April on campus, and to retain women’s basketball coach Jennie Baranczyk.

Baranczyk led the Bulldogs to a Top 25 ranking last season.

Elliott, Cowboys top Hill TD to beat Chiefs ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Dak Prescott and the Dallas Cowboys figured they were headed to halftime with a comfortable lead after his touchdown run before a what-justhappened score from Kansas City’s Tyreek Hill, who surely will be on the short list for the play of the year in the NFL. Dallas (5-3) overcame Hill’s 56yard score with the clock expired going into halftime, with Ezekiel Elliott scoring the go-ahead touchdown after another reprieve from his six-game suspension in the Cowboys’ 28-17 victory over the Chiefs (6-3).

Elliott’s 2-yard plunge in the third quarter came after the Chiefs turned a 14-3 deficit into a 17-14 advantage.

Last year’s NFL rushing champion, Elliott had 93 yards and outgained 2017 rushing leader Kareem Hunt.

Hunt finished with 37 yards.

back behind Kempt’s 1-yard TD pass to Allen Lazard and three field goals from Garrett Owens.

“I don’t think we went out there and relaxed in the second half,” Holgorsen said.

“I think they played better.”

The Takeaway Iowa State: The Cyclones, coming off a 14-7 upset of No. 10 TCU, allowed 524 yards of offense, couldn’t come back from its biggest deficit of the season and now has some work to do if it’s going to reach the Big 12 championship game.

West Virginia: In knocking off a ranked opponent for the second time this season, West Virginia compiled 208 rushing yards after averaging 75 in its three previous games.

with some of our inefficiencies in the first half.”

Grier rebounded from his worst performance of the season when he threw four interceptions against Oklahoma State.

He found Ka’Raun White for a 63-yard pass on the game’s first series. White would have scored easily except he stepped out of bounds with no one around him at the Iowa State 10. Sills caught a scoring toss on the next play to increase his national lead to 16 TD catches.

White made up for his gaffe early in the second quarter with a 55-yard TD reception from Grier between two defenders. Grier finished 20-of-25 for 316 yards, his eighth 300-yard performance of the season.

But West Virginia was held scoreless in the second half and Iowa State crawled

Defense for a Change West Virginia held Iowa State to 350 total yards, only the second time this season the Mountaineers held an opponent to less than 400 yards. Linebacker Al-Rasheed Benton said the Mountaineers had a physical week in practice and the players fed off each others’ emotions. “It felt like Mountaineer football. That’s what it felt like,” he said. “We’ve got to help each other out.”

Surging Crawford Crawford had been held to 45, 30 and 47 yards in his previous three games. He was effective in keeping drives going Saturday and had a season-high 25 carries.

He left the game after getting up slowly early in the fourth quarter and didn’t get a carry the rest of the game.

Poll Implications Iowa State has fallen to No. 24 in the latest AP poll, released on Sunday.

Up Next Iowa State: The Cyclones play No. 12 Oklahoma State at home Saturday.

West Virginia: The Mountaineers travel to Kansas State Saturday.

Hawks Continued from Page 1B The victory was Iowa’s first over a top-10 ranked Ohio State team since defeating the third-ranked Buckeyes, 20-14, in 1983.

“We came out and just tried to play with confidence,” Jackson said. “We got rewarded for our hard work and preparation.”

Barrett came into the day with 25 touchdowns and one interception in his first eight games. The Buckeye veteran tossed three touchdowns but completed just 18-of-34 through the air for 208 yards. He was sacked just once the four interceptions were the difference.

His first pass was picked off by Hooker, who returned it 30 yards for a score, leaping into the end zone ahead of an Ohio State player to put the Hawkeyes up 7-0 early.

The two teams traded points for most of the first half.

Ohio State (7-2, 5-1) answered Iowa’s early momentum with a six-play, 80-yard drive that ended with a 29yard TD pass from Barrett to Terry McLaurin.

Miguel Recinos and Sean Nuernberger traded short field goals to keep the game even at 10-all.

They matched each other again on TD drives. Iowa went 80 yards in 11 plays and Stanley hit freshman tight end T.J. Hockenson for a 10-yard touchdown pass to put Iowa back on top. Ohio State answered with a quick seven-play, 77yard drive that was capped by a 44-yard TD pass from Barrett to Johnnie Dixon.

It was after that that the game turned into the home team’s favor.

Stanley came right back and answered the Buckeye TD with back-to-back scoring passes to sophomore tight end Noah Fant.

The first one was a 25-yard

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa sophomore quarterback Nate Stanley threw a career-high five touchdown passes in the Hawkeyes’ win over Ohio State at Kinnick Stadium on Saturday. The Hawks won the game 55-24.

TD pass that ended a seven-play, 89-yard drive.

The next one came three plays after Jackson’s first pick. The Hawkeyes needed just 22 yards to go up 31-17.

Stanley hit Fant on a 3-yard TD pass to end that drive.

“Everyone came to play.

We had a lot of guys make plays today,” said Stanley, who finished with 226 yards on 20-of-31 passing through the air.

Ohio State rallied from an 18-point deficit against Penn State the week before to win by one. Leading 3117 at the break, Iowa made sure it kept its foot on the offensive gas Saturday.

The Hawkeyes’ first scoring drive of the second half covered 78 yards in nine plays. Hockenson capped the drive with a 2-yard TD catch from Stanley. Before that, Iowa dialed up a fake field goal that resulted in a Colten Rastetter 19-yard pass to senior long snapper Tyler Kluver.

Hockenson had a career-best in catches (five), receiving yards (71) and touchdowns (two) in the win. Fant hauled in a career-high four catches for 54 yards. His seven TD catches are the most since Marvin McNutt caught 12 back in 2012.

Panthers rally late to knock off No. 6 South Dakota CEDAR FALLS (AP) — Marcus Weymiller scored on an 8-yard run with 3:02 left and Keelon Brookins sealed the victory with a 29-yard pick-6 as Northern Iowa rallied for a 34-29 upset win over sixth-ranked South Dakota on Saturday.

South Dakota turned it over on three straight fourth-quarter possessions — two of which the Panthers (5-4, 4-2 Missouri Valley Conference) turned into touchdowns.

South Dakota led 23-13 after Brett Samson’s 11yard TD run with 12:37 left in the third quarter. But Eli Dunne jump-started the comeback when he connected with Isaiah Weston for a 4-yard score to cut the Coyotes’ lead to 23-20 with 3:56 left in the third.

Chris Streveler hooked up with Dakarai Allen from 4 yards out with 11 seconds remaining to cap the scoring for the Coyotes (7-2, 4-2).

Dunne passed for 228 yards and two TDs and Weymiller finished with 69 yards on 24 carries.

Streveler completed 34of-51 passes for 401 yards and two scores, but he was also intercepted twice.

The Panthers are 3-1 in their last four games — all against top-ten teams.

“It was a lot of fun to see us compete and make plays,” Hockenson said about the tight end duo. “The coaches put us in a good position to win and we executed the game plan. Everyone in our locker room believed.

Things came together tonight.”

Prior to Saturday, the most points Iowa had ever scored on Ohio State was 35. The Hawkeyes put up 55 in the win because the defense forced four turnovers, and the offense rushed for 244 yards and tallied nearly 500 total yards. The Hawkeyes were 7-of-7 inside the red zone.

“I didn’t expect to score 55 points, no way. I did feel like we would be able to get after them and win the battle up front,” said Iowa center James Daniels, who is another Ohio native.

“My two college choices were Ohio State and Iowa.

I came here because of the offensive line play, and we needed to show them what an Iowa offensive line is supposed to look like. This felt good.”

Stanley is just the second Iowa quarterback to throw five touchdowns in a single game twice, joining Chuck Long. He has 22 touchdown passes on the season. The Iowa single-season record is 26.

Senior tailback James Butler gained 75 rushing yards on 10 carries, and freshman tailback Toren Young rushed for 47 yards on five carries.

Senior Josey Jewell finished with nine tackles on defense. He now has 391 career tackles, which ranks seventh all-time in program history. Senior Ben Niemann had seven tackles and the team’s only sack.

Flanagan upsets Keitany, ends US drought at NYC Marathon NEW YORK (AP) — Shalane Flanagan dethroned Mary Keitany on Sunday and became the first American woman to win the New York City Marathon since 1977, potentially ending her decorated career with her first major marathon victory.

Geoffrey Kamworor of Kenya won the men’s race, holding off countryman Wilson Kipsang by 3 seconds for his first major victory.

Keitany had won three straight New York marathons, but Flanagan pulled away from the Kenyan great with about three miles to go. Flanagan finished in 2 hours, 26 minutes, 53 seconds, about a minute faster than Keitany.

The American cried and yelled as she approached the finish line all alone.

“It’s indescribable,” the 36-year-old Flanagan said. “It’s a moment I’m trying to soak up and savor.”

The last American woman to win New York was Miki Gorman, who took consecutive titles in 1976-77.

Flanagan finished second in New York for her first marathon in 2010 but hadn’t run this race since. This was her first marathon since finishing sixth at the Rio Games due to a fracture in her lower back. The injury kept her out of the Boston Marathon in the spring but set her up to train hard for New York with an eye on Keitany.

Flanagan had called Keitany “the alpha racer” and said she was ready to “suffer dearly” while keeping pace with the unpredictable Kenyan.

Flanagan, Keitany and Ethiopia’s

cepting her medal.

“This is the moment I’ve dreamed off since I was a little girl,” Flanagan said.

Flanagan had said she may retire if she won New York. She didn’t immediately make an announcement regarding her future.

Kamworor edged Kipsang with a time of 2:10:53. Kamworor separated from the pack late and seemed like he would cruise to his first major marathon victory, but Kipsang appeared on his heels in the final stretch.

American running great and 2009 New York winner Meb Keflezighi completed his 26th and final marathon in 11th place at 2:15:29, collapsing as he crossed the finish.

“Thank you New York for showing up today,” Keflezighi told the crowd.

“Cheering me on and showing that vibrant energy.”

The race went off without interruption five days after the bike path terror attack killed eight in lower Manhattan.

Police had promised an unprecedented effort to secure the course, a plan including hundreds of extra uniformed patrol and plainclothes officers, roving teams of counterterrorism commandos AP Photo armed with heavy weapons, bomb-sniffShalane Flanagan crosses the finish line first Sunday in the women’s division of the New ing dogs and rooftop snipers.

Sadler tops points after Erik Jones’ Xfinity sweep in Texas FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Elliott Sadler kept losing ground late while Erik Jones cruised to a Texas season sweep in the NASCAR Xfinity Series on Saturday night.

The veteran driver gained on the competition that mattered most, though.

Jones led 137 of 200 laps for the first Texas sweep of NASCAR’s No. 2 circuit in eight years, and Sadler took the points lead with one race remaining to set the final four in the run for the series championship.

Jones and fellow Cup driver Ryan Blaney pulled away from Sadler over the final 30 laps in Jones’ third Xfinity victory of the season and third in six tries on the 1.5-mile Texas track.

Sadler was the top finisher among the playoff contenders, taking fourth, one spot ahead of fellow playoff driver Cole Custer. Sadler moved up from third in the point standings, five ahead of William Byron, who took ninth.

Justin Allgaier, the points leader coming in, finished 11th and dropped to third in points. Brennan Poole, who took seventh, is fourth in points, 24 back.

The championship field for the

Jones

finale at Homestead will be set next week in Phoenix.

The first two Xfinity wins for Jones were back-to-back in the spring at Texas and Bristol, Tennessee. He’s the first with an Xfinity sweep at Texas since Kyle Busch in 2009.

Matt Tifft, who was sent to the back of the field for a crew member coming over the wall early on a pit stop, recovered the finish eighth and is fifth in points. He’s five points behind Poole, who holds the final qualifying spot at the moment.

Custer bounced back from an early flat tire and moved from eighth to sixth in points. He trails Poole by 13 points.

Cup driver Kyle Larson was third.

Christopher Bell, coming off his first Xfinity win in finished sixth.

Johnny Sauter wins NASCAR Truck Series race at Texas FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Johnny Sauter and wife Cortney welcomed their fourth child, a girl named Alice, on Wednesday morning.

“It was a crazy week,” Sauter said.

“But it’s cool. I’m blessed to have the wife that I have I do and having are fourth child into the world was pretty awesome, so I’m a lucky, lucky man.”

Sauter On Friday night, Sauter had more to celebrate when he won the NASCAR Truck Series race at Texas Motor Speedway. The defending series champion became the first driver earn a spot in the series championship finale in two weeks.

“Texas is becoming one of my favorite places on earth,” Sauter said.

“I haven’t been pumped up this much in a long, long time. This is a big win, obviously a big week.”

The 39-year-old Sauter held off 19-year-old Austin Cindric for his third victory of the season and fourth in Texas.

On Friday, the veteran driver may have taught the younger races a thing

or two about flexibility and not being married to your pre-race plans.

“Everything we had planned about strategy out there went out the window in the first 20 laps,” Sauter said. “It was pretty much calling an audible every time ... usually takes me 10 laps to get going, so I never felt like I was in the track like I wanted to be. But as the night progressed it just got better.”

The top three spots were claimed by drivers still in the chase for the four-man championship showdown at Homestead on Nov. 17.

Christopher Bell finished third, and is second behind Sauter in the playoff standings.

Two of the playoff drivers made critical mistakes in the race.

John Hunter Nemecheck was leading with 13 laps to go, but ran out of gas and was required to pit.

He was then given a penalty for speeding out of the pit road and ended up finishing 19th.

Ben Rhodes was in the top 10 for much of the race, but a faulty pit stop with 17 laps to go dropped him into the back of the pack and he finished 18th. Matt Crafton, another playoff contender, finished ninth.

Chase Briscoe, a rookie out of the playoff hunt, finished fourth.

NASCAR Photo Kevin Harvick, driver of the No. 4 Mobil 1 Ford, celebrates in Victory Lane after winning Sunday’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series AAA Texas 500 at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, Texas.

Harvick passes Truex for Texas win, both clinch title shots

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Kevin Harvick went around the outside of Martin Truex for the lead on the 324th of 334 laps, then stayed in front the rest of the way to win the Cup Series race at Texas on Sunday and earn his championship shot in NASCAR’s finale.

Truex had led 107 laps and was still up front until his bobble on the backstretch that allowed Harvick to take the lead.

But Truex, the points leader who has won three of the eight playoff races, also locked into one of the four championship-contending spots at Homestead in two weeks.

Harvick and Kyle Busch clinched championship shots with their wins during the third round of the playoffs. That leaves only one spot up for grabs next week at Phoenix.

Harvick got his first Cup win at the 1 1/2-mile high-banked Texas Motor Speedway, where he

had won five Xfinity Series races and once in a NASCAR Truck race.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Harvick said.

“Great to check that one off.”

After doing a long burnout along the frontstretch in the No. 4 Ford for Stewart-Haas Racing, Harvick went to Victory Lane, where the Texas celebration was missing the traditional firing of six-shooters by the winner.

TMS officials bypassed the use of the pistols after a man opened fire inside a church in a small community about 300 miles south of the track near San Antonio earlier Sunday. Authorities in South Texas said the shooter killed more than 20 people and wounded at least 10 others before being killed or killing himself.

Denny Hamlin, another of the playoff contenders, finished third, while Brad Keselowski was fifth and Ryan Blaney sixth.

Chase Elliott finished eighth, and his teammate Jimmie Johnson dealt with a loose car all day and finished 27th.

Keselowski dropped from third to fourth in points, 57 behind Truex.

Hamlin is fifth in the standings, followed by Ryan Blaney, Elliott and seventh-time Cup champion Johnson.

Harvick felt he had a good car all day, and finally had the chance to get around Truex for the last time after he kept driving deep into the first turn. Harvick led five times for 38 laps.

“I knew I needed to do something different in order to get past Martin. I tried to just start driving it in there and we kept going faster and faster,” Harvick said. “I kept driving it in there and one lap I got close enough to get the air off the back of his car. I actually got to the outside and was able to pass him on the outside.

Commerce will be going strong this Gemini moon with Mercury’s recent move to the realm of expansion. Money is not the root of (SET ITAL) all (END ITAL) evil, just a lot of it. Mistrust anyone who claims not to care about money, as this is either sadly naive or a ridiculous lie. Do business with people who have a healthy respect for money, not an obsession with it.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 6). Rather than pine for a different reality as you once did, you’ll embrace the current circumstances and work them to your best advantage. Your evolved stance will net you brilliant results in the next five

weeks. You’ll be able to assist your family as a result. There’s a windfall in February, and you’ll travel in April. Cancer and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 5, 25, 41, 20 and 17.

control. There’s something lucky between you and a Sagittarius.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Everyone wants to feel better, including you. Because you’re already feeling strong, you’re willing to do the hard work to feel better instead of going for a quick fix.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

With so much competing for your interest, it will be rather easy to pass up the thing that obviously requires it. An interruption will be significant.

Someone really does need your attention.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You’ve a special charisma, so don’t be surprised if people stop and observe you to try to figure out that indescribable something that makes you so compelling.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

This will be a day of unexpected obstacles. Your success strategy will include exclusive focus on that which you can

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Your luck will come in the form of another person -- someone who is willing to listen to you, try your ideas, be available to your

intelligence and be open to your whims.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You have heard enough complaining and don’t wish to do any, nor do you care to leave a bad review. If you like something well enough, you’ll say it’s good. If you don’t, you’ll say it’s interesting or call it a learning experience.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Advertisements, wall art, media, friends -- you’re getting tired of people telling you what to do. Anyway, you already have a clear vision of where you’re going next and what steps will take you there.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

Your cosmic boon of the day is one that doesn’t come around

very often: a very generous ratio of effort to results. Minimal work will accomplish a maximum result. Enjoy!

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). One way to avoid the very common tendency to eat and/ or drink away difficult feelings this time of year is to agree to go ahead and feel them. They may be unpleasant, but only briefly. Before you know it, they’re processed and gone.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Each job comes with unique pressures. It would be naive to think that any role is superior to another. Anyway, the only position you can effectively work to your advantage is the one you’re in.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

Your mind is sharp, and your body is strong. Furthermore, there’s a wise teacher in your head leading your energies in the most effective and efficient ways.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

Ask for help, whether or not you think you need it. People will like helping you today, and they’ll like you even more than they already do because helping will build a bond between you.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Lindsey Blommers listens to NCMP assistant coach Jenny Jensen during a warmup period at Saturday’s state meet.

Blommers Continued from Page 1B There were four state meet records set, but of those two times were slower than the individual regional times coming into the state meet.

Ames junior Molly Winer dropped her regional time by a second from 1:03.49 to a state championship time of 1:02.62 in the 100 breaststroke.

Arianna Ottavia, a sophomore from Bettendorf, was second in 1:03.94 and Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Cedar Falls senior Olivia NCMP junior Lindsey Blommers takes a big breath as she waits to step up onto the starting blocks at the state swim meet Saturday in Marshalltown. Blommers Clark was third in 1:04.33.

Blommers took third swam in the 100-yard breaststroke event, finishing 10th.

Hawks Continued from Page 1B attack averaging 230 yards a game to go 9-0 and reach the Class A quarterfinal. The Hawks ran into a Pirate wall made of defensive tackles Dawson Ellingson (6-foot-3, 267 pounds) and Matt Seres (6-foot-2, 262) and nose guard Wes Geisler (6-foot-1, 202).

Hudson’s defense had given up an average of 44 yards rushing and 5.3 points a game through 10 games. Led by their three defensive linemen, the Pirates stymied the Hawk rushing attack, allowing just two yards on 24 carries.

Senior quarterback Elijah Collins was 8-of-22 passing for the Hawks for 67 yards.

The Pirate defense recorded five quarterback sacks.

The Hawk offense reached Hudson territory twice in the game. Lynnville-Sully had just five first downs.

Hudson used four big plays offensively to push No. 8 Lynnville-Sully out of the 2017 Class A playoffs.

The Pirates scored on a 42yard pass play and a 33-yard pass play in the first quarter to set themselves up for a 30-0 win over the visiting Hawks.

Hudson quarterback Jacob Murray hooked up with Alec Staebell and Alex Hageman on the TD plays.

Down 13-0, the Hawks

committed their only turnover in the game, a fumble, with 1:28 left in the first quarter. Lynnville-Sully’s defense halted Hudson after five plays and forced a punt early in the second period.

Lynnville-Sully wasn’t able to move the ball and junior Rylan James punted. Hudson set up shop at its own 44-yard line.

On the first play, Murray went to the air for the Pirates.

Lynnville-Sully senior defensive back Brevin Hansen snared an interception and returned it for 24 yards to put the Hawks at the Hudson 30yard line.

The Hawks had a penalty to open the possession, but Collins came back to connect with Hansen for 13 yards. On a third-down play, the two hooked up again to put the Hawks at the Hudson 18-yard line.

Lynnville-Sully got just two more yards on a run by junior Evan Squires. The Hawks ran a fake field goal play, but Hansen, who is the kicker, was caught at the 16, and the Pirates took over on downs.

Hudson moved the ball the ball out to its own 42-yard line.

Running out of the wildcat formation — a direct snap to the running back — Staebell broke off a 57-yard run to the Hawk 1-yard line. He capped it with a 1-yard TD run with 3:41 left in the second quar-

ter. Staebell had 112 yards on 18 carries, mostly out of the wildcat offense, and had two catches for 70 yards.

Christian Seres, who finished with 168 yards rushing on 27 carries, got 64 yards of it on a TD run at the 2:13 mark of the second period. Geisler, an offensive and defensive lineman, kicked a 37-yard field goal on the final play of the first half after hitting three of four PAT attempts.

Lynnville-Sully was down 30-0 at halftime.

“The second half was our better half of football tonight” Parkinson said. “Our kids never gave up and battled right to the end. We didn’t let them score in the second half.

Our kids left it all on the field, and that’s all you can ask.

These kids had a tremendous season.”

The second half was a series of punts from each team. Lynnville-Sully had an eight-play series late in the third quarter.

It picked up two first downs and reached the Hudson 40yard line. The Pirate defense stiffened again and forced a punt.

James punted nine times for Lynnville-Sully for 350 yards, which was a 39-yard average for the game.

Senior Sage Zylstra had 14 yards on 10 carries as the top rusher for the Hawks. Hansen made three catches for 34 yards as the top receiver in the game.

Junior Tyson Vander Linden had three catches for 21 yards and senior Drake Ehresman made one reception for 11 yards.

Senior Carson Dunsbergen led the Hawk defense with 11 tackles and senior Kemper Lukehart had 10 tackles.

Squires was credited with eight tackles and senior Jesse Van Wyk had six tackles.

Lynnville-Sully finished the season a 9-1.

Hudson’s Murray was 9-of15 for 194 yards passing.

Hageman was the top receiver with 74 yards on three catches. The Pirates rushed for 291 yards in the game.

in her heat race, just outtouched by Johnston senior Kendall Hostetler, 1:07.34. The heat was won

by Bettendorf junior Lauren Turney in 1:06.05.

Blommers admitted going into the state meet, she had hit a plateau on her times in her feature event during the 2017 season.

She holds the 100-yard breaststroke record for NCMP at 1:04.61 set when she won a 2016 regional championship. Blommers went 1:05.70 for fifth place at the 2016 state meet.

“I’m just trying to push through it right now,” Blommers said. “Today’s race, well, it was the best I

could do today.”

Ames came into the swimming events on Saturday with a team lead after going first and sixth in the diving event Friday. Ames won five of the 10 swimming events on its way to a seventh state team championship in eight years, and it’s third straight.

Ames won with 384 points followed by Dowling Catholic with 271.5 and Bettendorf with 203.5 as top three teams. Blommers scored seven points to put NCMP in 27th.
