TPI expansion receives $1M in state tax credits Project will bring 350 jobs Newton Daily News

David Dolmage/Daily News John Lawrence, the interim vice president of Iowa State University’s extension offices, poses for a photo with Dan Jennings, one of the current owners of the Jasper Five, a parcel of land that was given to the state to fund the creation of Iowa State University.

The Iowa Economic Development Authority board approved a $1 million award to TPI Composites Friday for direct financial assistance and tax benefits for a recently announced business expansion.

TPI Composites, known for its focus on the wind industry, is planning to manufacture bus bodies for electric-powered passenger

buses. Under the new contract, TPI will provide capacity for up to 3,350 bus bodies during a five-year period.

Following the announcement of the contract on Nov. 8, TPI plans to open the new manufacturing expansion during the first half of 2018. The diversification and expansion will create more than 350 jobs in Newton.

The project has a capital investment of $6 million with jobs at a qualifying hourly wage of $18.12 per hour.

ISU Extension celebrates Newton man to be sentenced in 100th Anniversary

Jasper Five land owners recognized

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News Frank Faidley always knew there was something special about the 77.5-acre parcel he purchased from his aunt a decade ago, but he had no idea how important it had been to the foundation of Iowa State University. On Sunday, Faidley, along with several other Jasper County landowners was recognized as part of the Jasper Five, an initial land grant that helped fund the creation of Iowa State University.

“I knew it was part of the land they’d planned to build the capital on, but that didn’t mean anything to me,” Faidley said. “I

didn’t realize that they gave it to the state.”

As part of Iowa State University’s local extension office, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, school officials wanted to identify and recognize the landowners who currently own parts of the original 3,000 acres. Nathan Crane, the regional extension education director, said staff at the extension office have been researching Jasper County’s role in the formation of Iowa State University, and they plan to celebrate that role as they recognize their anniversary.

First established in 1856 Iowa State is one of the first land grant universities that would be established around the nation. After the Morrill Act of 1862 Iowa State was formally established as land grant university in 1864, with a goal of making higher education accessible to all. To fund schools like Iowa State, federal

and state governments worked together to provide funding for the fledgling university by selling off large tracts of land the federal government still owned in the state of Iowa. The majority of the land that was sold to fund Iowa State was carved out of the northwest corner of the state, but a portion of that land also came from Jasper County, as well.

More than 3,000 acres had been set aside in Jasper County as a potential site for a new state capitol after legislators decided to move toward a more central location in the state. When new state capitol was located in Des Moines state legislators decided to sell off the 3,000 acres to help fund Iowa State University. This parcel, bisected by Highway 163 is about a mile south of Prairie City.

Neighborhood watch groups hit the streets In an effort to combat crime residents patrol Newton on their own

By David Dolmage Newton Daily News When Heather Fox and her husband Jeff moved to Newton from the east side of Des Moines friends warned them about the town’s unsavory reputation. After helping create a neighborhood watch group in Des Moines, Fox was surprised to find out

a similar group didn’t exist in Newton. While she’ll readily admit there’s a criminal element in Newton, she’s confident that by banding together, neighbors can make Newton a tough place to break the law.

“Here it’s not so bad, I believe we can handle it,” Fox said.

There are more 1,300 members on the Newton

Neighborhood Watch Facebook page, and Fox said that’s something she’s really proud of, hoping the additional eyes and ears in the community will discourage criminals. On the Facebook page, neighbors network with one another to report suspicious activity and keep one another apprised of crimes they encounter.

“The more nosy neighbors we have, the more it works.”

Creating the Facebook page isn’t the only action Fox has taken to cut down on crime in Newton, she’s also begun patrolling the neighborhood with her husband Jeff, looking for suspicious activity.

On Saturday, Fox and her husband met with concerned neighbors to host a Neighborhood Watch Walk in Newton.

WEATHER FORECAST

Today is Monday, Nov. 20, the 324th day of 2017. There are 41 days left in the year.

Today’s Highlight in History: On Nov. 20, 1947, Britain’s future queen, Princess Elizabeth, married Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, at Westminster Abbey.

On this date: In 1945, 22 former Nazi officials went on trial before an international war crimes tribunal in Nuremberg, Germany.

In 1959, the United Nations issued its Declaration of the Rights of the Child.

In 1967, the U.S. Census Bureau’s Population Clock at the Commerce Department ticked past 200 million.

In 1969, the Nixon administration announced a halt to residential use of the pesticide DDT as part of a total phaseout.

In 1975, after nearly four decades of absolute rule, Spain’s Generalissimo Francisco Franco died, two weeks before his 83rd birthday.

In 1976, the boxing drama “Rocky,” a United Artists release starring Sylvester Stallone, premiered in New York.

In 1985, the first version of Microsoft’s Windows operating system, Windows 1.0, was officially released.

In 1992, fire seriously damaged Windsor Castle, the favorite weekend home of Queen Elizabeth II. Ten years ago: A judge in St. George, Utah, sentenced polygamous-sect leader Warren Jeffs to five years to life in prison for his role in the arranged marriage of an underage girl to her older cousin.

Five years ago: Former boxing champion Hector “Macho” Camacho was shot while sitting in a car in his hometown of Bayamon, Puerto Rico. (Camacho died four days later after doctors removed him from life support.) Jack Taylor, a guard for the Grinnell College basketball team, shattered the NCAA scoring record with a 138-point performance as the Division III school beat Faith Baptist Bible, 179-104.

One year ago: President Barack Obama, concluding his final official world tour in Peru, told a news conference in Lima he didn’t intend to become his successor’s constant critic — but reserved the right to speak out if President-elect Donald Trump or his policies breached certain “values or ideals.”

That’s Odd ‘Cone Weed’ gets Christmas makeover in North Carolina town HUNTERSVILLE, N.C. (AP) — At first, it was an orange traffic cone with a weed growing out of it. Now, the roadside attraction dubbed “Cone Weed” is something of a Christmas miracle to locals.

WBTV reports someone decorated the “Cone Weed” with tinsel and ornaments last week. The weed has been growing unencumbered across from the Huntersville Fire Station for a year and has amassed a cult following. The fire station tweeted pictures of Cone Weed decked in tinsel and ornaments last week.

Entertainment Women dominate American Music Awards, but not as nominees This year’s American Music Awards was a reflection of the year in pop music, with women dominating the show, but not as nominees or winners.

In categories like artist of the year and favorite pop/rock album, where

men and women compete, no female acts were in contention. Only six female artists or groups that include women won in the more than two dozen fan voted awards handed out Sunday night. However, the legendary Di-

ana Ross was given a lifetime achievement award, which former President Barack Obama rightfully noted was an overdue honor.

But the women instead took over the show with powerful, incredible, emotional and inspiring performances from Ross, Pink, Kelly Clarkson, Lady Gaga and more.

Here’s a look at the top moments at the American Music Awards: The anticipation for the performance by style icon, singer and actress Diana Ross escalated all evening with plenty of hype from her daughter and the show’s host actress Tracee Ellis Ross.

Ross noted that they were making history as the first mother and daughter to both host the awards show and even donned one of her mother’s sequined tops during the show.

The Detroit-born singer who started her career as a member of the Supremes received video messages from the Obamas as well as Taylor Swift. And she did not disappoint when she appeared draped in a purple, fluffy tulle coat and long black gloves. She delivered an upbeat and inspiring medley of her hits, including “I’m Coming Out,” ‘’Take Me Higher” and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.”

She ended the

performance by inviting her children and grandchildren on stage as she poured her heart out to her fans. “This is my family and I am sending love out to all of you our global family and I really, really love to be here,” Ross said. “And I feel so humbled by this.”

In a year marked by tragedies, from devastating hurricanes to mass shootings, the show started with a great homage to those who are the first to help in those situations, from police officers, to firefighters, to paramedics and the military. Actor Jamie Foxx put it succinctly that 2017 tested everyone’s faith, but that unity was more important now than ever.

Two of pop music’s powerful vocalists, Pink and Kelly Clarkson, performed an epic version of R.E.M.’s “Everybody Hurts,” with images from the recent tragedies on screens behind them. At the end of the performance, the two singers embraced in a hug and the crowd rose to its feet.

It was not only a great performance, but set the tone for a night of uplifting and positive messages.

Host Tracee Ellis Ross explained in her opening monologue that this was a night for women to shine after a year in which women all over the world have been empowered to “own our experiences, our bodies and our lives.”

“This is going to be an incredible night, filled with nostalgia, featuring earth shaking, ground breaking women,” Ross said. “And there’s going to be some men singing too.”

when his aunt’s father, Garrett Dykstra first purchased the land, which would remain in their family until Faidley’s aunt sold the parcel to him a decade ago.

Faidley said. “Our daughter graduated from Iowa State

University.�

Brandon Duxbury, a graduate student in history at Iowa State University has been researching the legacy of landgrant sales in Iowa for more than a year now, looking through old records to identify the areas that were included in the grants. While the land in Jasper County was specifically given to Iowa State, Duxbury said land grants were handed out across the state to a number of other states by the federal government.

“Our goal is to get a complete picture from the 1860’s to now, we want to figure out who owned the land and who was leasing it,� Duxbury said.

Iowa State’s goal is to create an online map that’ll allow people to read the history of the land, as told by its owners. To do so, Duxbury has been conducting interviews with landowners, as well as researching abstracts, encouraging owners who think they might have a connection with the land grants to come for-

ward. With more than 1200 parcels across the state of Iowa Duxbury said it’s been a big project, but he’s enjoyed it because it’s allowed him to shed a little light on an unknown aspect of the university’s history. “Most people don’t realize that the land grant isn’t the land that the university is built on,� Duxbury said.

To make Newton safer, Durant has been patrolling the town, often up to five nights a week or more. The lifelong Newtonian said his volunteer organization already has a number of neighbors willing to help, as well as residents asking him to patrol their property. For each of the 12 properties Durant patrols, he’s looking for any sign of a crime, and he said he won’t hesitate to confront someone if he believes they’re trespassing. “As long as I have the homeowner’s permission I will confront them,� Durant said.

The self-employed subcontractor is well outfitted for his mission, carrying a flashlight, a handgun and a pair of night vision binoculars. Durant said he doesn’t feel scared to walk the streets of Newton at night, the gun he carries gives him confidence. “Personally, I don’t worry because I personally carry,� Durant said.

While Durant does carry a gun, he said his first inclination is to involve the police department, dialing the non-emergency number if he sees something he wants to report.

Thanksgiving Hope you & your family have a blessed Thanksgiving!

David Dolmage/Daily News Jay Durant, leader of Newton’s Neighborhood Watch group talks to a group of supporters prior to a neighborhood walk on Saturday night. Durant, a lifelong resident of Newton, said he hopes his group can raise awareness and let criminals know that someone’s always watching.

He uses a police scanner app on his phone to monitor radio traffic, and if he hears something is going on, he’ll head to scene to see if there’s any way that he can assist the police department. Durant also said the group is selective about the volunteers they accept, running a background check and a license check on everyone who’s interested in becoming part of the neighborhood watch group.

Police officers have been supportive of his efforts, Durant said. “We’ve been in contact, they’ve been supportive of all of it,� Durant said. “We work closely with them.�

Winchell said there have been a number of breakins reported over the summer and early fall in Newton, but many of those occurred when thieves were able to take advantage of unlocked vehicles and garages. Adding lights to the exterior of homes and making sure cars and homes are locked will help reduce some of these burglaries Winchell said. “A very high percentage of car burglaries were unlocked vehicles,� Winchell said. “Lighting helps tremendously.�

Winchell said he doesn’t believe Newton has a crime problem, but did say officers stay busy, although he noted many of the calls they respond to aren’t crimes, but other situations where an officer is needed to assist. As long as neighborhood watch volunteers aren’t getting in the way of police officers, Winchell said doesn’t have many concerns about the group. “If the goal is to patrol and report then it wouldn’t be an issue that I can see,�

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Nov. 20, 2017

Silent backlash I don’t want to see the next name in the headlines for sexual misconduct. I know too many of them. I believe the women.

Some companies are conducting internal checks, and some are not, because they don’t want to get caught up in all this.

And because while it’s true that sexual harassment is a real problem, there are also questions of degree. An 89-year-old President George H.W. Bush, in a wheelchair, accused of sexual assault?

The reason I write this is not to discredit women. I write all this because if people I’m talking to feel this way then other people — people who would never talk to a feminist such as myself — must feel it even more strongly.

So beware. Amidst the apologies, amidst the corporate commitments, amidst the sense of empowerment that many women rightly feel — the kind that comes with standing up and going beyond being a victim — pause to observe that the ingredients for a real backlash are all lined up.

Another View Susan Estrich I’m not suggesting for a minute that men are out there ready to harass women as vengeance, or to punish those who spoke out. Not at all. The power dynamic has shifted. Everyone felt the shaking, as we say in California. Duck, cover and hope the glass won’t hit you. That’s what it’s been like, figuratively speaking. No one wants to be next. “Am I allowed to say a woman is attractive?” a male friend asked me, seriously and respectfully.

“Is the woman a co-worker?” I asked.

She was. (Whom else do most of us see during the day?) I suggested he not do that, not right now. Ridiculous, I agree, but good advice, you have to admit.

So I’m not worried about workplace revenge, at least not in that obvious way.

I think most workplaces are in for some changes: more time-outs for reflecting; a little more care about the jokes people tell; about the asides; about physical contact. None of that is necessarily a bad thing. That’s what happened, at least for

10 minutes or so, after Anita Hill captivated the nation.

It’s the silent backlash I worry about: It’s not what people are going to do, but what they aren’t going to do.

Who wants to mentor the attractive young women associates? Who wants to travel with the junior “girl”? Who wants to spend weeks in hotels on business trips with the blonde millennials?

There was a time when you had too many men volunteering for those assignments, some of them for all the wrong reasons. But I worry that going forward, you’re not going to find as many volunteers as are needed. Because as much as Anita Hill captivated the nation and spurred many women to speak out, her testimony did not fundamentally change the structure of power in this country.

There is a reason — not simply our superior judgment — that every single one of those accused in the current round of accusations has been a man. Every one.

It is not simply about gender differences.

It is, at its core, about who has power. It is the reason that these problems are so stubborn: Challenging the powerful to behave differently is difficult, convincing them to share power even more so.

Every study comes to the same conclusion about what women need to do, what we need to have. We need mentors.

We need people with more power than we have to promote and advise us. That is what men have had for centuries. It is what the “old boys’ network” is all about.

And where will young women find them? First, of course, from the ranks of successful women, but there aren’t enough powerful women to go along; that’s the problem. (And that’s not to mention those women headed to a special place in the afterworld for not recognizing any responsibility to help other women.) The second place we women find mentors is from the ranks of successful men who are willing to have meals with us and travel with us and have confidential conversations with us; who trust us to learn and not to destroy.

There is only one way to make sure that this moment does not lead to a silent backlash that takes opportunities from women rather than opening doors.

Count. Count how many women are hired and how many are promoted and how many leave. Do it on a regular basis.

No quotas. Just a mirror. Sometimes seeing is all you need.

Eye on America John Stossel

Legalize sex work Who owns our bodies? I think, we do.

Therefore, once we’re, say, 18, we ought to have the right to rent our bodies to someone else.

But we don’t. Women who do that get arrested. So do their customers.

I refer to prostitution, of course. Sex work is a better term. Under any name, it’s illegal in America, except in eight counties in Nevada.

Some feminists say sex work must be outlawed because prostitutes are exploited. Julie Bindel of Justice for Women says, “I’ve interviewed a lot of sex buyers, and they talk about women like they’re human toilets or spittoons for men’s semen.”

Maybe some men do.

But does that mean women should not be allowed to rent their bodies?

“No!” says sex worker Christina Parreira: “I feel more exploited by these supposedly liberal women telling me that I’m being exploited.”

Parreira is a University of Nevada Ph.D. student who, to study prostitutes, became one. She told me, “We don’t need protection. We’re consenting, adult women.”

For this week’s YouTube video, I confront her about sex for money being “shameful, degrading, disgusting.”

“I used to waitress,” replies Parreira, “get hit on and provide conversation. That’s what I do now, except I’m serving sex, not food.”

She says the 60 sex workers she’s interviewed do not say their customers treat them as “spittoons for semen.”

The men “want conversation, companionship ... texting in between their appointments,” she says.

“They want the girlfriend experience without the girlfriend hassle ... and maybe 20 minutes having sex.”

But Bindel says that sex workers like Christina, who speak to reporters, are atypical.

“They’re so unrepresentative of the majority...

Prostitutes are victims,” Bindel says, held captive by pimps. “All women on the streets are there because they have no other choice.”

But “they have a choice,” I said. “They could work at McDonald’s, they...” She replied, “Many say, ‘McDonald’s is a rubbish job. I’d rather be in the sex trade!’”

But isn’t that the point? No job is perfect, but we let people make choices.

Some customers and pimps are violent. Some women are forced into the sex trade. But prostitutes who want that trade legalized say legality would reduce violence and sex trafficking by bringing victims out of the shadows.

“If, God forbid, somebody’s going to assault you, (in legal brothels) you can call the cops. You can hit the panic button,” Parreira told me. “If you’re an illegal worker, you’re not going to call the cops because they’re going to arrest you!”

Some of you readers believe it’s immoral to rent bodies or body parts, to, as Bindel puts it, treat them as “part of a marketplace.”

But why? Boxers, in effect, rent their bodies to sports promoters. So do football players, dancers, models, etc.

We let people do dangerous things with their bodies all the time, like driving race cars and climbing mountains.

Recently, a California appeals court ruled that legalization advocates have a right to challenge California’s prostitution ban. During the legal arguments, a judge asked the state’s lawyers, “Why should it be illegal to sell something that’s legal to give away?”

That was a good question. The state has no good answer.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

House tax bill’s a gift to companies that offshore profits and jobs

By Gary Kalman As the country begins to digest the revelations in the new offshore tax haven leak known as the “Paradise Papers,” it’s important to not lose sight of the fact that the Congressional tax plan is out along with promises that it will end the gaming that has allowed multinational firms to shift trillions in profits offshore. Supposedly, the plan is to bring past profits and jobs back to the U.S. and prevent the offshoring in the future.

A closer look at the text of the bill suggests that the reality does not match the rhetoric.

Let’s start with the past profits. U.S. companies have approximately $2.6 trillion booked offshore on which they owe $752 billion in unpaid taxes. The House bill offers these companies a one-time deal to tax those profits at discounted rates of 12 percent for profits held in cash and 5 percent for other types of invested profits — that’s well below the current 35 percent rate, the rate in place at the time they earned the profits. In fact, that is a tax break of more than $500 billion on what they owe.

There is no economic case for discounted tax rates on profits already earned. In theory, lowering tax rates will incentivize future behavior. In this instance, the money is already earned. There is no loss of jobs or investment incentives by requiring companies to pay what they already owe before moving to a new system.

Drilling down further, findings from a 2011 U.S. Senate investi-

gation indicate that there will be less benefit than advertised from the “return” of the profits to the U.S. The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations found that half the money booked offshore was simply routed through tax havens but reinvested in U.S. stocks, bonds, and real estate. We would be bringing much of the money “back” from Manhattan.

History also provides a caution about the benefits of repatriating these profits. The last time we gave companies a break on profits booked offshore was in 2004. The companies that took advantage of the break used the money for executive bonuses and dividends.

They did not use the money for creating new jobs, raising workers’ wages, or investing in new factories or equipment. The top 15 companies to take advantage of the so-called ‘tax holiday,’ laid off 20,000 workers in the two years following the tax break.

There is no reason to believe this time will be different.

The public benefit of a repatriation effort is derived from the revenue generated by the amounts companies pay toward what they owe in deferred taxes. That money could be used for rebuilding the nation’s infrastructure or meeting other public needs. A tax holiday that forgives hundreds of billions in corporate taxes, undermines the public benefit and rewards the companies that dodged taxes for all those prior years. Indeed, JPMorgan analysts are recently reported as saying that “we expect little economic effect from firms repatriating funds to the” U.S. Going forward, gimmicks in

the tax bill will give new incentives to move jobs offshore. One provision aimed at closing the offshore loopholes was recently gutted and other provisions leave several loopholes in place for favored special interests.

Currently, U.S. companies and individuals owe taxes on earnings wherever they are made — in Des Moines or Dublin. The new bill changes that longstanding parity so that companies will only owe taxes on profits they book in the U.S. or, in extraordinary circumstances, pay a lower tax on profits of offshore subsidiaries. It is safe to say that many offshore profits will go untaxed.

Under the original version of the bill, companies that moved some U.S. profits to offshore subsidiaries would have paid some taxes on those profits — that was good. But a recent amendment to the tax bill allows for deductions and other accounting games that nullify any benefit.

After the amendment was adopted, the estimates on how much revenue would be raised dropped from $155 billion to $7 billion — this new loophole loses 95 percent of the projected tax revenue of the original proposal.

Additionally, the bill exempts ordinary overseas profits from taxes. If the profit margins are extraordinary (there is a formula to determine this) the tax rate for those profits are half that for domestic companies. Multinationals will be incentivized not just to move profits on paper to tax havens but to move actual jobs and operations to lower tax countries like Ireland and Switzerland.

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.

Thanksgiving prayer for peace seeks to bring world together DEAR ABBY: Our organization, No Greater Love, is a nonprofit humanitarian organization that honors America’s fallen and their families, and promotes peace. I am reaching out to you and your millions of readers about an important event we are planning.

NGL invites you and your readers to become links in our Chain of Prayer for Peace.

As you gather together at Thanksgiving, please consider adding a special prayer for peace. Our goal is to link children and adults of all religions by praying on that day — and every day possible — for peace in the world.

We have invited the five major world religions — Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism and Judaism — all of which regard peace as a universal concept. While our specific beliefs may differ, we are all one through our quest for love and peace. — CARMELLA LaSPADA DEAR CARMELLA: I am sure my readers will agree that your idea is one worth trying. I’m reminded of the adage that when a stone is tossed into a pond, the ripple effect spreads much farther than the point of impact. It’s my prayer that when readers of all faiths focus their positive energy on such an important outcome, something similar will happen.

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend, “Mark,” and I have been dating for three months but have been friends for about eight years. Neither of us have it together (career-wise) at the moment.

Mark is two years older than me.

For some reason, he’s hesitant about getting his driver’s license. When I brought it up when he was a senior in high school — we were just friends then — he said he was going to get it before graduation. That was seven years ago. Now he’s my boyfriend, and I feel weird picking him up and dropping him off.

His excuse is he wants to perfect parallel parking. When I got my driver’s license, I did just OK with parallel parking, but I passed the driving test.

How do I approach him about getting his driver’s license? — GETTING NOWHERE IN GEORGIA DEAR GETTING NOWHERE: For whatever reason, I suspect that Mark hasn’t been completely honest about why he hasn’t gotten his driver’s license. Approach him directly, and tell him you are uncomfortable providing all the transportation. And if his excuse is he wants to perfect his parallel parking, suggest he take a driver’s education course.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I recently moved to Florida. We are meeting people but are confused regarding social activities. We have been invited to get-togethers several times only to be instructed to bring our own drinks and an appetizer to share. When we entertain, we don’t expect our guests to bring anything. Is this the norm? — CONFUSED IN FLORIDA DEAR CONFUSED: It may be the norm in the community where you are now living, but it’s news to me.

I have heard of a BYOB party, and I have heard of a potluck party, but never a “Bring Your Own EVERYTHING” party.

City may change ordinance to allow pit bulls

‘positional asphyxia’

SERGEANT BLUFF — Officials of a city in western Iowa are considering changing an ordinance on vicious animals to allow pit bulls within city limits. The Sergeant Bluff ’s city code currently prohibits residents from housing pit bulls in the city. The breed is banned in many cities because it’s believed to be predisposed to vicious behavior. The decision to reconsider the ordinance came when resident Sam Vice requested a hearing after police became aware of his American Staffordshire Terrier.

DAVENPORT — Authorities say two Davenport police officers and another person have been injured in a shooting.

Davenport police say officers sent around 5:15 a.m. Sunday to check a burglary report confronted a person inside a home. Police say one of the officers fired a weapon during a resulting physical altercation, injuring all three people involved.

One of the officers was taken to a hospital.

Police haven’t released the names of those involved.

by masked intruders

AMES — Police have identified a 21-year-old Ames man who died after two masked men burst into his apartment.

Ames police say Xavier Jordan Shepley was killed early Saturday morning when he was shot during an apparent robbery.

Police say Shepley was found around 3:40 a.m. Saturday when officers went to an apartment building to investigate a shooting.

ANKENY— Authorities say a baby whose parents have been charged with child endangerment died after becoming wedged between her bed and a wall. The Polk County medical examiner says the 7-month-old from Ankeny likely died of “positional asphyxia” last August and that the infant tested positive for cocaine metabolite, a breakdown product of cocaine.

Examiner Gregory Schmunk could not confirm how the drug got into the child’s system or when.

5 EPA invests $12M in loans for Iowa water projects

DES MOINES — The federal Environmental Protection Agency is adding $12.3 million to a loan fund that will help pay for drinking water projects in Iowa. The money will help pay for projects across Iowa that will improve municipal drinking water supplies, protect water systems or improve efficiency. EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt says the loan money helps cities make important investments that keep people safe.

—The Associated Press

Lawmakers could face pressure over Medicaid benefit cut DES MOINES (AP) — The Republican-controlled Iowa Legislature could face pressure next session over its decision earlier this year to reduce a key Medicaid benefit for poor and disabled people, but it’s still unclear how much lawmakers are willing to reverse course on an issue that critics say will be detrimental to the state’s health care system.

Some Republican lawmakers have begun to question whether the cut to so-called retroactive eligibility, which essentially helps new patients with recently incurred medical costs, was larger than intended. They’ve indicated the topic will be revisited when they return in January, and health care groups are expected to lobby for some kind of action.

Several of them spoke against the change at a legislative committee last week.

That meeting included candid talk from some GOP lawmakers, like Sen. Mark Chelgren of Ottumwa, who raised various ideas about ad-

ditional exemptions around the change, which took effect Nov. 1.

“I think that this is something that’s going to have to be solved in the next session,” he told his colleagues.

Brent Willett, president and CEO of the Iowa Health Care Association, has warned the reduction will be particularly harmful to the nursing homes and other long-term health care facilities that make up his group.

“I take those legislators at their word that they’re interested in looking at this,” he later said after the meeting.

The retroactive benefit is a staple of Medicaid that helps newly eligible patients with medical bills that go back three months. It’s aimed at ensuring health care providers accept low-income people who qualify for Medicaid but may not be signed up yet. It’s particularly critical for those hurt suddenly, such as being injured in a car crash or suffering a brain injury.

Under Iowa’s change, which was briefly mentioned in a roughly 130-page health budget approved last spring, that window of eligibility was reduced to the first of the month in which a person applies for Medicaid. The issue gained national attention for its scope because only a handful of states have reduced retroactive eligibility. Many of those states targeted people who recently gained Medicaid coverage under the Affordable Care Act. Iowa uniquely sought to cut the benefit beyond that, to a swath of people who included the disabled and children.

In the end, the federal government approved a plan that only exempted pregnant women and children younger than a year old.

The state’s human services agency said the change would save money. It previously estimated a savings of nearly $37 million total, including more than $9 million for the state. Officials predicted about 40,000 Iowans would

be affected annually.

Multiple health groups argue the move creates a massive financial burden for hospitals, providers and patients. They also claim the state didn’t properly account for the extent of that impact.

Flora Schmidt, executive director of Iowa Behavioral Health Association, warned the ripple effect could be fewer providers in rural parts of the state offering treatment for things like substance abuse and mental health.

“It’s going to come back onto the taxpayers and the providers somewhere else,” she said. “It’s just the shifting of the cost to someone else.”

Wendy Rickman, a top administrator for the Iowa Department of Human Services, defended the data provided. The department has been clear that aside from cost savings, the change would better align with the private insurance market.

“We took this responsibil-

ity extremely seriously and worked to the very best of our ability to get the right numbers for you,” she told the committee.

Scott McIntyre, a spokesman for the Iowa Hospital Association, expressed hope lawmakers would return to the issue in 2018. In an email he said, “We would certainly support reversing the policy and will be monitoring the situation as the session approaches.”

This is expected to fall on Republicans, who hold majorities in both chambers and ultimately voted to pass the health budget that included the benefit reduction.

GOP Sen. Mark Costello, vice chair for the health committee that could review any proposed legislation, said he’s open to a suggestion that would ensure patients have a clear period for reimbursement. Some critics argue an injury at the end of a month versus the start could greatly impacts costs for all parties.

Iowa attorney spends year serving in Afghanistan SIOUX CITY (AP) — Volunteer for a special task at work, and the odds increase that your boss is going to look your way the next time someone is needed for another big assignment.

How do you respond, especially if what’s being asked is difficult, maybe even dangerous?

When asked to spend a year representing the U.S. Justice Department in Afghanistan, Forde Fairchild said yes.

He’d already served in a similar capacity in Iraq six years earlier, so he felt that there wasn’t much of a choice to be made.

“When you get a call like that, it’s not something I felt I could say no to,” said Fairchild, a Terril, Iowa native who’s been an assistant U.S. attorney in Sioux City since 2004.

Fairchild agreed to serve as Justice Attache for Afghanistan, the U.S. attorney general’s represen-

tative in the country, after being approached about the assignment in late 2015. He secretly completed the necessary training and left Sioux City the day after wrapping up a big case in September 2016.

He arrived in Kabul, Afghanistan’s capital city, just a few days later for a yearlong detail that included coordinating American investigations for cases to be prosecuted in the United States and helping the Afghans become better investigators and prosecutors of complex cases.

With years of experience investigating difficult cases, Fairchild passed on his knowledge to Afghanistan’s attorney general and leaders in units that prosecute terrorism, narcotics and corruption cases. He was there to observe and assist, not to try their cases for them.

“The most important work in Afghanistan is being done by Afghans,” he

said. “I would help them think through their next steps and put their cases together.”

Committed to ending those major criminal activities, Afghan justice officials face many difficulties. Insurgents target the criminal justice system, committing robberies, kidnappings and other crimes. Then they enter the city, tell the citizens that the government is incapable of protecting them and offer their own form of justice.

“They use their criminality as an example of the government’s failure,” Fairchild said.

Justice officials are often targets of violence, so it takes courage to bring charges against powerful warlords and other officials. During Fairchild’s time in Afghanistan, there were a number of bombings and rocket attacks on judicial, government and diplomatic

buildings in Kabul.

“They face a dangerous and capable insurgency, and they have many elites who think they are above the law, but progress is being made,” Fairchild said.

“While assisting them, you have equal parts of inspiration and disappointment. Taking the right steps against the right people, despite hardships and risks, is inspiring. The problems are huge. You realize how far they have to go, and that’s depressing.”

Working in a foreign system with so many challenges helped Fairchild appreciate a U.S. justice system that can function against rich, powerful people.

“It reinforces my understanding of what a valuable resource our justice system is and how it needs to be protected,” he said.

Iowa’s unemployment rate drops to 3 percent DES MOINES — Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate decreased to 3 percent for October. The state’s jobless rate was 3.6 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 4.1 percent in October.

“Iowa’s unemployment rate dropped to its lowest level since January 2001. This is great news for Iowa’s economy as we move into the holiday season,” said Beth Townsend, Iowa Workforce Development director. “Our biggest gains this past month occurred in the manufacturing sector, which is the backbone of many of Iowa’s rural communities and economy at large.

This sector has grown 6,000 jobs in the last year.”

The number of unemployed

Iowans decreased to 51,000 in October. The current estimate is 9,800 lower than the year ago level of 60,800.

The total number of working Iowans increased to 1,635,700 in October. This figure was 3,400 higher than September and 500 lower than one year ago.

Seasonally Adjusted Nonfarm Employment Employment in Iowa establishments was little changed compared to last month and held at 1,586,700 jobs in October. Gains in Iowa’s goods-producing sectors were exactly matched by losses in service industries. Private industries pared jobs for the second-consecutive month and were led by losses in trade. On the other

hand, government added 1,100 jobs due to growth at the state and local levels. Following this month’s report, total nonfarm employment is now up 13,500 jobs versus last year’s mark, a gain of 0.9 percent.

Manufacturing led all sectors in jobs added in October (+2,200). This month’s gain for manufacturing is the second consecutive, and the fifth in the last six months. The majority of the jobs gained were in nondurable goods factories.

Firms involved in food production and fabricated metal production added staff in October. Leisure and hospitality also added jobs in October (+1,800) with all of the growth stemming from accommodations and food services. Construction increased slightly in

They are the grandsons of Arthur and Val Warden, of Newton.

The 4 percent of Boy Scouts that achieve Eagle Scout had its ranks increased by two on Oct. 29.

Wyatt and Corbin Hudson, Troop 120 of Van Meter, were honored at their Eagle Court of Honor in the presents of their parents Timothy and Debbie Hudson and grand-

parents Arthur and Val Warden as well as other family and friends.

Wyatt’s service project was organizing a blood drive.

Corbin’s service project was constructing a GaGa Ball pit.

Both projects were organized to benefit Van Meter where the twin brothers live.

Grandparents Arthur and Val Warden live in Newton.

Mother, Debbie, was born and raised in Newton.

Wyatt and Corbin presented gifts to their parents and Scout leaders in appreciation for the help and encouragement given them throughout their Scouting career.

October (+500), snapping a streak of losses stretching back to April.

Alternatively, trade, transportation, and utilities pared the most jobs of any super sector in October (-2,300).

The losses were sharpest in retail trade (-1,000) which has shown some signs of weakness throughout the year. Annual losses have been evident in both food and beverage stores along with general merchandise retailers. Other services shed 1,300 jobs in October and professional and business services lost 1,200 jobs. Within this sector, administrative and support and waste management alone lost 1,400 jobs since September but remains up 900 jobs annually. Other sectors posting small losses

this month included education and healthcare, information, and financial activities.

Compared to last October, no sector has added more jobs in Iowa than manufacturing (+6,000) with the majority of the gains stemming from nondurable goods factories (+4,100). The annual growth in manufacturing marks a substantial turnaround for the sector that had lost jobs annually as recently as June of this year.

Education, health care, and social assistance follows closely behind with 5,800 jobs added and leisure and hospitality is third with 4,400 jobs gained.

Losses have been greatest in construction (-5,300) following a record-setting year last year that included several large-scale industrial projects.

Seven ways Iowans can ‘Take It Outside’ this holiday season With Thanksgiving just around the corner, the Iowa Department of Natural Resources is encouraging families to consider spending part of their holiday enjoying Iowa’s outdoors.

“Pick an activity based on weather conditions and your family’s interests, and consider visiting one of Iowa’s state parks, forests or recreations areas for a dose of nature to help you relax and exercise,” said Todd Coffelt, chief of the Iowa DNR’s State Parks Bureau.

Here are a few of Iowa’s best fall and winter outdoor activities: Take a hike. Walk for miles in Iowa’s state parks, trail systems and nature areas. Bundle up and enjoy viewing wildlife, the solitude of the “off season,” or in-

troduce an out-of-state relative to a bit of Iowa beauty.

Go hunting. Many families enjoy spending Thanksgiving in the field hunting together. Consider bringing a novice along, perhaps a neighbor or cousin who has never been hunting before.

Enjoy a scenic drive.

Load up the car and visit a state or county park.

With dozens of parks to choose from, late fall and winter provides unique viewing and scenic beauty.

Reserve a spot. Consider spending part of the holiday in one of the state park’s cabins or camping spots.

State parks are open for camping year-round; however, facilities are limited to pit latrines and water is available

only through frost-free hydrants. Electricity is available. To prepare in advance, make a reservation on the DNR’s reservation page, and check out the DNR state park alerts and closures page for specific winterizing plans for each state park.

Pedal a trail.

Cool-weather biking can be an invigorating way to explore Iowa’s immense trail system.

Or consider the newest trend in biking and conquer winter on a fat-tire bike.

Cast a line. Fall and winter provides a picturesque setting to catch trout with less competition and no bugs. While Backbone State Park is Iowa’s only state park with a trout stream, there are streams near Pikes Peak State Park,

Yellow River State Forest and Volga River State Recreation Area. Or take advantage of Iowa’s many urban trout stockings, where local ponds and lake have been stocked with rainbow trout for a new opportunity that’s easily accessible for all age groups

and abilities. Check out the DNR’s trout fishing page for details and stocking information.

Grab those skinny skis. Some people are actually crossing their fingers for an early snowfall so they can get out their cross-country skis and head down the trail.

Check out one of Iowa’s state parks and forests that have groomed trails for cross-country skiing.

Take it outside this holiday season.

Alliant Energy has released a winter heating bill estimate for the 2017-18 heating season.

Heating bills are made up of two components: • The price of the heating fuel (in this case, natural gas) • The amount of the fuel used (driven by how cold the winter is) Last year’s winter weather was warmer than normal in our region. Customers needed less energy to stay warm and had lower heating bills than normal.

For the 2017-18 heating season, prices are expected to remain at last year’s levels, while weather may be colder and usage may be higher.

“The primary purposes are to have a good discussion and get questions answered regarding the fine points of the new labels. I’ll

also be giving tips on how to avoid off target injury. In addition, I’ll share ISU’s position on the use of these new formulations on soybean in Iowa”.

The event is free and open to the public, no pre-registration is required. Coffee and donuts will be provided.

If Iowa experiences a normal winter weather and the price of natural gas remains where it is today on the spot market, it is estimated that our average residential customer could pay $423 in winter heating costs — 8 percent ($32) more than last winter.

Customers generally use more natural gas for heating if the weather is colder.

The expected price for natural gas this winter to hold steady at levels similar to last year, based on natural gas already purchased and the current spot market price. The cost of the natural gas is listed on the customer bill — without any markup.

‘To serve my coffee in my hometown, that was important’ Ross Street Roasting Company coffee now served at Goldie’s

By Anthony Victor Reyes Newton Daily News TAMA — Back in the late 1980s, a group of youngins could be spotted running around Carroll and Marilyn Nolin’s farm, south of Prairie City.

Gurgles and pops from an electric coffeemaker could be heard throughout the day, as a fresh pot of Folgers was always ready to go in case the Prairie City farmer needed a quick jolt before he headed back to the fields. Like every child, Carroll’s young relatives would watch him sipping a cup of Joe, curious what this mysterious, brown liquid tastes like.

But no one could have ever guessed one of those kids would turn this curiosity into a lifelong passion.

“I just wanted to try it, and I probably didn’t like it,” Prairie City native, Brian Gumm said.

“It would be similar to church coffee in the Midwest. You know, stereotypically, a super watered down, very bland kind of thing.”

About 28 years later, the PCM graduate now spends much of his time roasting beans, tasting java from across the world and creating his own unique blends. After setting up base in Tama, Gumm is now sharing his love for coffee with

Prairie City by the cup at Goldie’s Ice Cream Shoppe.

“I wanted to try to support (Gumm) as much as I could. I don’t use a ton of coffee at Goldie’s, but hopefully, it will be enough to make it worthwhile for him,” Brad Magg, owner of the Prairie City staple said.

“If you have a chance to support someone local, that is what you do.”

In 2015, the coffee enthusiast started Ross Street Roasting Company in his wife’s hometown of Tama-Toledo.

What began as a hobby introduced by two of Gumm’s college mentors in Virginia, the Toledo resident developed a craft for home roasting coffee in the garage of his residence on Ross Street.

“I went to the Shopko in Tama-Toledo and bought a $20 popcorn popper and took a quarter cup of green coffee beans. When I did that, even with a really crude roasting machine, like a popcorn popper, I was getting coffee that just tasted really, really good,” the roast master said. “I started giving them away as Christmas gifts, and (the recipients) were like, ‘Wow, this is wonderful.’

So I just kept on doing it.”

In the business’s twoand-a-half years, the Prairie City hometowner’s coffee found its way to homes across Iowa, as

Anthony Victor Reyes/Daily News Roast master, Brian Gumm brews a sample of his Costa Rica single-origin coffee, Café con Amor Nov. 8 at Ross Street Roasting Company in Tama. The Prairie City hometowner began home roasting as a hobby in his garage.

it is now offered at New Pioneer Food Co-op Stores in Cedar Rapids, Coralville and Iowa City; Hy-Vee Stores in Ankeny, Indianola and Marshalltown; and Toledo’s local Fareway. The java-meister said coffee addicts outside state lines have also taken a liking to Gumm’s product, as the company takes online orders and ships it anywhere in the United States.

In addition to Goldie’s, Gumm’s home roasted brews are also served in Cedar Rapids’ Brewhemia, a partner of the business, and Algona’s The Chocolate Season.

SHOP LOCAL THIS HOLIDAY SEASON

The one-man operation also partnered with the self-proclaimed greatest store in the universe, Raygun, to create a unique light-roast blend to be sold alongside the Iowa-based company’s trendy merchandise.

“Raygun already makes these ‘Mug Life’ cups. (Raygun) already sells coffee mugs, let’s put coffee right next to it,” Gumm said. “When we were talking about what we were going to call it, and how we were going to brand it, (Raygun) wanted to use Gary (a cat regularly used on their graphics). I said, ‘Yeah,

totally.’”

Although the “Meow That’s What I Call Light Roast!” blend may be popular to young coffee enthusiasts, the roast master said any coffee drinker will appreciate its medium roast, named after a Tama favorite that used to operate at the current location of his production facility.

“I named our first blend after (Tama resident) Jack’s old store. He is not a coffee drinker, but he took 10 bags of coffee with him to Texas to give to his friends,” Gumm said. “I designed this one to be the coffee drinker’s

coffee. I wanted it to taste what most Midwestern coffee drinkers would be used to, especially older ones.”

The popular “Jack’s Feed Store” blend was awarded Best Coffee in the 2017 Coffee & Donut Festival in Des Moines.

This roast and Gumm’s decaf Mexico select, single origin coffee are the brews that are now served at the Prairie City eatery.

“Prairie City is still a very important part of who I am and where I come from. I spent my first 18 years there,” the 38-year-old said. “My first job ever was at the grocery store in Prairie City ... to serve my coffee in my hometown, that was important.”

The Prairie City native said he is just glad the people who he grew up with, from his family members to his teachers, will soon be able to try his meticulously roasted coffee with one of Goldie’s famous tenderloins.

“All of us here in Jasper County are great about supporting our own, near and a far,” Magg said. “Feel free to stop by and order a cup of coffee, and we will be ordering more beans.”

To order individual packages of coffee online or set up a coffee subscription, visit rossstreetroasting.com.

For more information about the company, call 641-481-1980, visit the production facility at 202 Harmon in Tama Fridays from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. or find Ross Street Roasting Company on Facebook.

Tipping Things Off In Tournament Mustangs rally late to beat Cardinals

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Finding their footing as teams, Newton High’s Cardinals and Prairie City-Monroe’s Mustangs staged a solid basketball game to open the 2017-18 basketball season on Friday night.

The two Jasper County basketball teams had questions to answer with essentially one returning starter apiece.

The Mustangs and Cardinals gave fans their money’s worth in their matchup in the 2017 NHS Girls Varsity Basketball Holiday Tournament. PCM pulled out a 5548 win, outscoring Newton 9-1 in the final two minutes.

PCM head coach Jeff Lindsay said it was a good win for the Mustangs because of all the new players on the floor for them. He said a lot of the girls who played Friday night did not have much varsity playing time last year.

“I’ve just told our girls we have to be patient and find ourselves as a team out there,” Lindsay said. “The way our players handled themselves against a good team which is strong and plays defense hard is a positive step for us.”

PCM led most of the game, jumping out to a 5-0 lead. Newton gained the lead twice and both times it was junior Camryn Wignall who put the Mustangs back on top. The first time came in the second period after the Cardinals had an 8-0 run led by three baskets inside by senior Ali Bestell.

Newton took a 16-14 lead at the 5:12 mark. Wignall fired in a 3-pointer to give the Mustangs the lead again then sophomore Regan Freland drilled a trey to push

Valuing the basketball is a focus for Newton High’s girls.

Early in Saturday’s game against North Polk’s Comets, the Cardinals didn’t value possession of the ball and found themselves down by 18 points after one quarter.

The Cardinals never recovered, losing 53-37 to North Polk. Newton went 0-2 in its 2017 NHS Girls Varsity Basketball Holiday Tournament.

“The separator was the first 12 minutes of the game,” Newton head coach Brandon Sharp said. “I’m happy how we competed the final 20 minutes of the game. We valued the ball a little more in the second half.”

Sharp said he hoped he sent a message to all his players when he cleared the bench in the second quarter and sitting his starters. He said the players off the bench did a phenomenal job to finish the first half.

“That was competing. We rewarded them by giving them the opportunity to start the second half,” Sharp said. “Hopefully it sent a message to us that we need to show up every single time. We’re not good enough to take plays off, to take possessions off.”

The Comets drained five of their eight 3-pointers in the first quarter to gain a 23-5 lead.

By the four-minute mark of the second quarter, North Polk was up 32-7.

Newton senior Taylor Ryan sank two free throws with 1:43 left in the first half then hit a field goal to make it 35-11.

Martin Truex Jr. caps career season with 1st NASCAR title

NASCAR Photo Martin Truex Jr., driver of the No. 78 Bass Pro Shops/Tracker Boats Toyota, celebrates in Victory Lane after winning the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Championship and the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series Championship Ford EcoBoost 400 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Sunday in Homestead, Fla.

HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — NASCAR’s newest champion wouldn’t take his helmet off.

He couldn’t.

If he did, then everyone would see Martin Truex Jr. cry.

Truex capped the most successful season of his journeyman career as NASCAR’s champion Sunday, then struggled to start the celebration.

He was mobbed on the frontstretch by his Furniture Row Racing team, and after his girlfriend pushed through the crowd to get to him, he finally pulled the helmet and black visor off to show his face.

Truex was sobbing.

“I was a mess. I couldn’t even talk,” Truex said. “I was a wreck thinking about all the tough days, the bad days, the times where I thought my career was over with, the times when I didn’t think anyone believed in me, but the guys, the people who mattered did, my fans, my family.

“Then when I got with this team ... they resurrected my career and made me a champion.”

Truex won his first Cup title by winning the finale, beating Kyle Busch, Kevin Harvick and Brad Keselowski for the championship.

The other three were former champions. Truex was the favorite .

He thrived in that role, didn’t flinch when fellow Toyota driver Busch tried to use a different pit strategy to steal the race and then held off a hard-charging Busch over the final 12 laps to capture the title.

It was the eighth win of the season

for Truex and first championship for Denver-based Furniture Row Racing. It was the second title in three years for manufacturer Toyota.

“Just a dream season. I was going to be gutted if we didn’t win,” Truex said. “We gave it our all, and it was enough tonight.”

Busch finished second for Joe Gibbs Racing as Toyota, the most dominant manufacturer this season, went 1-2 in the finale.

Kyle Larson, who was eliminated from the playoffs last month, finished third in a Chevrolet for Chip Ganassi Racing. Harvick, seeking his second title, was fourth in a Stewart-Haas Racing Ford.

Keselowski wound up seventh and was stopped short in trying to give Team Penske a season sweep of the two top American racing series. Penske won the IndyCar title in September.

Truex’s victory also denied Ford its third win of the weekend. Ford drivers won the Truck Series race and the Xfinity Series race. The manufacturer has not won a Cup title since 2004.

But it may not have even had a chance Sunday because that’s how strong Truex has been all year .

Through his tears, he tried to express what this season — a year in which longtime partner Sherry Pollex suffered a recurrence of ovarian cancer — has meant.

“A lot of it was for (Pollex). A lot of it was for me. A lot of it was for this team,” Truex said. “I’ve wanted this since I was a little kid. Just never give up on your dreams no mat-

ter what happens and what kind of crap you go through.”

Missing from the celebration party was Furniture Row team owner Barney Visser. He suffered a heart attack two weeks ago and is sidelined in Colorado. After pouring millions into his race team, Visser watched it win its first championship on television.

Truex led nearly every statistical category this year, including wins, laps led and stage victories. Heading into Homestead, six of Truex’s wins came on 1 1/2-mile tracks, the same layout as Homestead. Now seven of his career-best eight wins are on those sized tracks.

“I mean, yeah, they’ve had the fastest car all year, so it was good to see him win,” said Harvick.

Keselowski reiterated that he believed the redesigned Toyota Camry has had an advantage over the competition since it debuted this season, and Chevrolet will catch up with its new Camaro next year.

Ford has no plans for a redesign.

“I don’t think anyone really ever had a shot this year the second that (Camry) got put on the racetrack and approved,” Keselowski said. “It kind of felt like Formula 1 where you had one car that made it through the gates heads and tails above everyone and your hands are tied because you’re not allowed to do anything to the cars in those categories that NASCAR approves to really catch up.”

No. 12 Lynnville-Sully rolls in season opener

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks began defense of their South Iowa Cedar League conference title with a convincing win over Iowa Valley on Friday night.

Opening the 2017-18 season ranked No. 12 in Class 1A, Lynnville-Sully’s girls rolled past the Tigers, 64-34.

The Hawks staked out to an 11-4 lead by the end of the first quarter. They were leading 32-19 at the break. Each team tallied 11 points in the third quarter. L-S put the finishing touches on the big win with a 21-4 fourth-quarter run.

“It was a good first game.

Fisk

Vos

The girls played very hard, and even if they were a little tired, they kept battling,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Jerry Hulsing said. “I thought we rebounded the ball well, which leads up to being able to get out and run the floor for some easy baskets.”

Junior Carson Fisk led the

Hawks with 22 points, nine rebounds and four assists. Senior Mariah Vos had a double-double with 16 points and 14 rebounds.

Lynnville-Sully shot 40 percent, 27-of-66, from the field and sank 7-of-14 free throw attempts.

“Our offense was OK in the half court but still, I think we could move the ball sharper,” Hulsing said.

The Hawk defense limited Iowa Valley to 25 percent shooting from the field. The Tigers were 15-of-58 from the field. They reached the freethrow line two times, hitting one. Iowa Valley had 20 turnovers.

Cherrise Ward had 15

points and 10 rebounds for the Tigers and Andrea Healey added 12 points.

The Hawks had 11 steals, led by junior Shiloh Cunningham with three. They had a 5135 rebounding edge.

Senior Jataya Meyer pulled down nine rebounds and scored seven points. Senior Camryn Russell dished out four assists and tallied eight points. Sophomore Mallory Loftus tossed in six points and Cunningham had five points.

Comets pull away from Baxter in Bolts’ debut

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News CONRAD — Senior Sailor Hinegardner got her season off to a strong start, but the Baxter girls’ basketball team lost its season opener to BCLUW on Friday night.

Hinegardner scored 19 points, grabbed five rebounds and had four steals, but the

host Comets outscored Baxter by eight in the fourth quarter and won 54-44.

BCLUW led by six points after one quarter, but the Bolts (0-1) cut the halftime lead to only one with a 13-8 advantage in the second. The Comets (10) extended their lead to two after three quarters and then scored the first 12 points of the fourth to pull away.

Baxter was outscored 19-11 in the fourth. The Bolts made 17-of-56 from the floor and missed half of their free throws (10-of-20). The visitors out-rebounded BCLUW 29-20 but turned it over 34 times.

Senior Kaylin Van Ryswyk scored seven points to compliment Hinegardner and sophomore Sadie Meyer scored six points and grabbed five re-

bounds. Senior Jordynn Wesselink chipped in five points.

Freshman McKenzie Eslinger and sophomore Holly Jessen each grabbed five boards and Jessen collected four steals.

Sophomore Caitlyn Bruntz also had three steals.

Iowa State ends two-game Offensive issues continue for skid with victory at Baylor Iowa in loss to Boilermakers WACO, Texas (AP) — Allen Lazard became Iowa State’s career receiving leader with a touchdown catch and the Cyclones clinched a winning conference record for the first time since 2000 with their 2313 victory at Baylor on Saturday.

Hakeem Butler had a one-handed catch over his shoulder and then broke a tackle for a 67-yard touchdown just before halftime that snapped a 10-all tie and put Iowa State (7-4, 5-3 Big 12) ahead to stay.

The Cyclones snapped a two-game losing streak that had followed a perfect 4-0 October in which they became the

only team this season with two wins over topfive opponents. They will play in their first bowl game since 2012.

Baylor (1-10, 1-7) played its home finale in coach Matt Rhule’s first season. The Bears have started 11 true freshmen, including quarterback Charlie Brewer.

Lazard entered the game 26 yards short of Todd Bylthe’s school record 3,096 yards receiving, and surpassed that on his 25th career TD. David Montgomery ran for 144 yards on 27 carries, going beyond 1,000 yards for the season, but the Iowa State sophomore had to be helped off the field after

a run in the fourth quarter when he got bent in a weird direction.

The Cyclones defense stood out like it has through Big 12 play.

Baylor was the seventh conference opponent they held at least 10 points below their average. And they keep holding onto the ball on offense. Iowa State still doesn’t have a lost fumble, something no FBS team has ever done over an entire season.

In what was expected to be a tough season, Baylor has lost 10 games for the first time since going 1-10 in 1999.

The bowl-bound Cyclones go to Kansas State on Saturday.

IOWA CITY (AP) — First-year coach Jeff Brohm has Purdue’s rebuild ahead of schedule.

With a win next week against Indiana, with the Old Oaken Bucket at stake, the Boilermakers will be bowling for the first time since the 2012 season.

Sophomore Elijah Sindelar threw for 229 yards and a career-high three touchdown passes with a stiff wind at his back and Purdue beat Iowa 24-15 on Saturday to move within a game of bowl eligibility.

Anthony Mahoungou had 135 yards receiving for the Boilermakers (5-6, 3-5 Big Ten). They won their first Big Ten road game of the year and snapped Iowa’s four-game win streak in the series.

Purdue took advantage of the gusty conditions by going 75 yards in only three plays to open the third quarter, a drive capped by Mahoungou’s 42-yard TD grab.

The Boilermakers then needed

only three more plays to go up 21-9 on Mahoungou’s 16-yard score with 11:59 to go in the third.

Noah Fant caught a 6-yard TD for Iowa (6-5, 3-5) with 1:04 to go, but Nate Stanley’s two-point conversion toss was incomplete.

Ferentz opted to take the wind in the second and fourth quarters, the only ones the Hawkeyes scored in.

But the weather was far from the only problem for Iowa, which has lost two straight after throttling Ohio State.

Stanley had 176 yards passing for the Hawkeyes. But Stanley was sacked six times, and Iowa will finish with a losing record in the Big Ten for the first time since 2012.

The Hawkeyes played arguably their worst game of the season on Senior Day, but senior linebacker Josey Jewell came to play. Jewell had 13 tackles, three for a loss, along with three pass breakups and two sacks.

Iowa plays Nebraska in Lincoln on Friday.

Cyclones hold off Boise State to win Puerto Rico Tip-Off

NASCAR Photo William Byron, driver of the No. 9 Liberty University Chevrolet, celebrates in Victory Lane after placing third and winning the NASCAR XFINITY Series Championship during the NASCAR XFINITY Series Championship Ford EcoBoost 300 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Saturday in Homestead, Florida.

William Byron gives Dale Jr.’s race team Xfinity title

HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Dale Earnhardt Jr. got the best retirement gift he could have asked for when William Byron won the Xfinity Series championship for JR Motorsports on Saturday, one day before Earnhardt’s final race as a full-time driver.

NASCAR’s most popular driver is a part owner of the race team with sister Kelley and boss Rick Hendrick, and JR Motorsports went in to the finale at Homestead-Miami Speedway with a 75 percent chance of winning the title.

JRM drivers Justin Allgaier, Elliott Sadler and Byron were up against Daniel Hemric of Richard Childress Racing for the championship.

Hemric appeared up for the challenge at the start and he led the title contenders until he headed to pit road with a dead battery early in the second stage. The team frantically changed the battery, but his car still had no power after the swap. When Hemric finally got back on the track, he was down 12 laps from the leaders.

That sealed the title for JRM, and the organization only had to watch to see which of its three drivers would take the crown.

Earnhardt and Hendrick watched intently from the top of Byron’s pit box. Kelley Earnhardt Miller watched from another.

Earnhardt moved to Sadler’s pit stall.

Calling the race for Allgaier?

Seven-time championship-winning crew chief Chad Knaus,

who was filling in for Allgaier’s suspended crew chief. Earnhardt likened the call to the bullpen to having Joe Gibbs coach a kid in Pop Warner football.

Although a second title for JRM was in the bag, it wasn’t without anxious moments.

“Man, that is tough watching those guys battle like that together,” said Earnhardt. “One thing about William winning, the overthe-wall guys I’m pretty close to a lot of them. They pit my car too.

It’s pretty cool to see these guys enjoy themselves. This really affects a lot of people. I’m really glad to be a part of it.”

Sadler and Byron had a spirited battle for the championship as they raced each other for position for several laps. The two had contact at least once, and it took Sadler until 36 laps remaining to get past Byron. But Byron came charging back, and the two again raced aggressively for position with nine laps remaining.

Sadler was held up by Ryan Preece, who was trying to win the owner championship for Joe Gibbs Racing, and Byron passed him for good with nine remaining as Sadler was stuck in the top lane behind Preece.

As the laps wound down, Sadler grew more aggressive and hit the wall. After fading to eighth, Sadler angrily charged toward Preece on pit road.

“He cost us a championship and he’s not racing anybody,” said Sadler. “It’s just devastating to me to have one taken away from me

like that.”

Sadler has now finished second in the standings four times in the last seven years.

Preece argued he was racing for position — he finished fifth — and Gibbs. But he felt horrible to have played a role in the title race.

“If there’s a person you don’t want to cost a championship to it is Elliott Sadler,” said Preece. “It’s not where I want to be right there.

I can’t take it back.”

Cole Custer, meanwhile, easily won his first career Xfinity Series race. It came a week after he was eliminated from the playoffs. He had leads of up to 15 seconds as he was out front for all but 15 of the 200 laps.

The Custer race victory was a win for Ford, which has so far won both the Truck Series and Xfinity Series races on a weekend it sponsors. Ford had two drivers racing for the Cup championship on Sunday in Kevin Harvick and Brad Keselowski, and Ford has not won a Cup title since 2004.

The driver championship, though, went to Chevrolet. That was a given before the race because all four finalists were in Chevys.

Team Penske won the owner championship, and Chevrolet won the manufacturer title.

It’s the second championship for JRM, which won its first title with Chase Elliott in 2014. Elliott graduated to the Cup Series, and Byron is taking over the No. 24 at Hendrick Motorsports next season.

Bell wins Truck Series championship HOMESTEAD, Fla. (AP) — Kyle Busch celebrated one championship already this weekend when driver Christopher Bell captured the Truck Series championship.

It was the first career title for Bell, who turns 23 next month and was the favorite to win the title Friday night at Homestead-Miami Speedway. Bell won five races this season driving a Toyota for Kyle Busch Motorsports, and led the series in nearly every statistical category.

He wrapped up a second series driver championship for Busch.

Bell finished second to Chase Briscoe, who raced to his first victory in the last event for Brad Keselowski Racing. The team is closing after this race, and had a shot to end its run with a title behind Austin Cindric.

But Cindric was beaten by Bell for the championship, so the team settled for the race victory with Briscoe.

Briscoe is a Ford Performance development driver, the first driver signed to the

new program announced in January. His win was the first by a Ford Performance driver development racer since the program’s inception.

Johnny Sauter finished third but fell short in his bid to win a second consecutive title. Sauter announced a contract extension earlier Friday to drive for GMS Racing, the team he won the title with last year.

Cindric finished fifth and didn’t have any of the issues others had threatened after his controversial advancement into the finale last week. He had an incident with Ben Rhodes that cost Rhodes a spot in the championship race, and some drivers had claimed there would be retaliation against Cindric at Homestead.

Two-time Truck Series champion Matt Crafton finished sixth. Only Bell, Sauter, Cindric and Crafton were racing for the title in a winner-take-all format.

Toyota won its 10th manufacturers championship, and fifth in a row.

CONWAY, S.C. (AP) — Nick Weiler-Babb flirted with triple-doubles. Donovan Jackson found his lost shooting touch and played with freedom on the wing. And a once-wobbly Iowa State team has found a new dash of confidence, too.

Turns out, a championship run in South Carolina for the relocated Puerto Rico Tip-Off might have changed everything for the Cyclones.

Jackson scored 26 points and Iowa State blew most of a huge Prohm lead before holding off Boise State 75-64 in Sunday’s championship game, a big leap after entering the tournament at 0-2.

“It’s a step,” coach Steve Prohm said. “And that’s what I told them in the locker room.”

Sure, it’s just one early season tournament for a program that has been to six straight NCAA Tournaments. But considering where things stood earlier in the week, it’s a welcome sign of growth for a team with a lot of players in new roles.

The Cyclones (3-2) were coming off a 74-56 home loss to Milwaukee on Tuesday for the program’s first loss in a home opener in 20 years. And they arrived facing their first 0-3 start since the 1990-91 season.

Weiler-Babb had 10 points, seven rebounds and 11 assists to earn honors as the most valuable player after seeing more work at the point for this tournament, which was held in Conway due to hurricane damage in Puerto Rico.

That freed up Jackson, who set a tournament scoring record with 76 points, including a huge 3-pointer with 1:17 left after the Broncos had cut a 24-point second-half deficit all the way to four.

Boise State (4-1) trailed 52-28 with 15:23 left but rallied with a flurry of second-half 3-pointers.

Chris Sengfelder scored 20 points for the Broncos, who played most of the way without all-Mountain West Conference guard Chandler Hutchison. He took a hard fall and hit his head on the court at the 16:19 mark, then left with 12:22 left before halftime.

McMurray has 23, Drake tops Drexel in double overtime LYNCHBURG, Va. (AP) — De’Antae McMurray scored 23 points, including the winning jumper with 15 seconds left, Drexel turned the ball over on its final two possessions and Drake held on for a 90-88 win in double overtime in the third place game of the Paradise Jam on Sunday.

Tramaine Isabell, who scored 32 for Drexel, was called for traveling after McMurray’s basket. McMurray then missed a pair of free throws with five seconds left, but he made up for it with a steal before the Dragons got off a final shot.

McMurray had a 3-point play in the middle of a 7-0 run that put the Bulldogs up 88-85 with 47 seconds left. But Sammy Mojica hit a 3-pointer at 41 seconds to tie the game.

Nick McGlynn had 16 points and 12 rebounds and Graham Wood had 13 points as six players scored in double figures for Drake (3-1).

Kurk Lee had 21 points for Drexel (2-3) and Austin Williams had 14 rebounds.

The tournament was moved from St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands to the Vines Center in Lynchburg due to damage from Hurricanes Irma and Maria.

Koch’s hot shooting leads UNI to easy win

NASCAR Photo Christopher Bell celebrates with the trophy in Victory Lane after placing second and winning the Camping World Truck Series Championship during the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series Championship Ford EcoBoost 200 at Homestead-Miami Speedway on Friday.

CEDAR FALLS (AP) — Bennett Koch scored 21 points and Northern Iowa defeated Chicago State 82-44 on Saturday.

Koch, who was perfect from the field in scoring a career-high 25 points in Northern Iowa’s previous game, a 72-43 victory over Wartburg, was 7-of-9 from the field and made all seven of his free throws against the Cougars (1-4).

Freshman Tywhon Pickford pulled down 14 rebounds, his third straight game of double digits on the boards for the Panthers (3-1). Juwan McCloud added 18 points and Klint Carlson chipped in 12 points with seven rebounds.

The Cougars were led by Travon Bell, who had 12 points off the bench.

The Panthers opened the game on a 13-0 run with five points from McCloud, and scored 17 straight points, with eight points from McCloud, toward the end of the half for a 46-21 lead. Their second-half lead never dipped below 22 points.

These are the last moments of this year’s Scorpio sun. Make the most of them. Dig down past the pettiness that keeps us small. To think “this problem shouldn’t be mine” or “this is below me” or “what a hassle” is to engage in an unhelpful and ultimately immature and diminishing mindset. All it takes to be bigger is to rise up.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Nov. 20). A financial opportunity in the next 10 weeks will be your cosmic birthday gift.

Nothing is holding you back from adventure in early 2018, so go on and fly. Your family members will cheer you on.

Later, they’ll also give you a new direction. Someone who

loves you wholeheartedly will make a wish for you that comes true. Cancer and Virgo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 38, 12, 7 and 49.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

There’s this little trap that happens -- an unhelpful habit of mind. It has to do with thinking of happiness as a “then” thing or a “later” thing when happiness is pretty much always a “now” thing.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). There’s a time to think carefully and thoroughly, but this isn’t it. Don’t take your thoughts too seriously. They’re not who you are. One way to think less is to move more.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You want to show up strong.

Perception is important, and it does impact what opportunities you get. That being true, sometimes you make the strongest impression when you don’t care so much about how you’re being perceived.

It’s also a chance for better understanding.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The restlessness you feel can be positively interpreted. Let restlessness be a leader that points you toward a more successful path. Otherwise, it becomes a tempter, increasing the allure of temporary fixes.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You don’t like what’s going on, so start right away with the change. Don’t worry too much about what to change exactly.

A tweak of any degree to any part of the equation will make a difference to the outcome.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

There are very few people out there who can work everything

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Much good will come of an attempt to assess and manage expectations. Yours aren’t the same as theirs.

Where are the discrepancies?

What’s not matching up?

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The difference between people you want to be around and people you don’t want to be around will be immediately apparent in the way they deal with the annoyances of daily life.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Good interviewers don’t worry too much about seeming smart and letting everyone know they did their research.

What makes for a quality interaction is honest curiosity.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). No one likes to misplace

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B Newton ended the second quarter with a free throw by senior Ali Bestell and a basket by junior Rachel Rhoads, who was wearing a mask to protect a broken nose she suffered in Friday’s game against Prairie City-Monroe.

North Polk had a 37-14 halftime lead. Sharp said he was disappointed in how his team opened the game after a competitive loss against PCM on Friday in the tournament.

“We have a lot of things to learn from these two games,” senior Addy Blom said after Saturday’s contest. “We need to focus on loving each other a lot, learn from our mistakes and let things go to move forward.”

Senior Marcelina Marvelli drilled a 3-pointer and senior Randi Walters followed with a bucket to make it 39-19 at the 5:46 mark of the third quarter.

Newton did outscore North Polk 9-8 in the third quarter but trailed 45-23.

The Cardinals opened the fourth quarter with back-toback baskets in transition by Rhoads and Walters. Ryan’s 3-pointer with 4:45 left in the game closed the gap to 17 points, 47-30. The Comets answered with two threes to push their advantage to 53-30.

Ryan netted another 3-pointer and basket in the final two minutes to finish with a team-high 12 points. Sharp sent out several younger players on the court to finish the game for Newton.

“We were able to put those younger players out to get a few minutes of varsity experience,” Sharp said. “Players are finding their niche. They find if they do what they are asked to do, they are successful. It’s a growth mind-set for us right now.”

Newton shot 29 percent, 14-

Tournament Continued from Page 1B went 2-of-22 from 3-point range. They also struggled at the free-throw line, 8-of-20.

“We’re a roller coaster team. We have to find a way to not be that. It’s about finding consistency in everything we do,” Sharp said.

By halftime PCM was sitting on a 31-24 advantage.

Freland powered the Mustang offense with 19 points in the first half, but didn’t score until there were 2.9-seconds remaining in the game for a game-hight 21 points.

“We addressed rebounding at halftime and continued to stress it in the second half. We gave up too many second and third shots to Newton,” Lindsay said.

The Mustangs had 38 rebounds with 29 coming off the defensive glass. The Cardinals collected 43 rebounds.

The Cardinals got two free throws from Blom to end the third quarter trailing 42-36.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High junior Rachel Rhoads (20), who broke her nose in Friday’s game against Prairie City-Monroe, donned a protective mask for Saturday’s game against North Polk. She guards a Comet player during the tournament game, which North Polk won 53-37. Newton went 0-2 in its own tournament to begin the season.

of-48, from the field and went 6-of-9 at the free-throw line.

North Polk connected on 21of-61 from the field for 34 percent, which included the Comets’ going 8-of-26 from 3-point range. North Polk sank 3-of-10 free throw attempts.

The Comets held a 38-34 rebounding edge over the Cardinals. Bestell controlled seven rebounds for Newton while Walters, Blom and junior Peyton Maher each and four rebounds.

Senior Anna Forsyth had

three of the team’s eight steals.

Walters and Rhoads each had two assists. Newton had 23 turnovers in the game.

“We will work on getting better. If the girls do their individual jobs, we can compete, if they choose not to, well, we’ll have a hard time,” Sharp said.

North Polk was led by Maggie Phipps with 16 points.

Phipps, Katie Scott and Abi Zimmer each had two 3-pointers in the game. The Comets had 16 steals.

Also on Saturday in tournament play, Carlisle beat Chariton 62-53. Molly Hoekstra led Carlisle with 23 points followed by Meredith Hoffman with 16 and Madi Hoekstra with 10 points. Chariton’s Ivy Swarthout hit 5 3-pointers on her way to 20 points and Luci Swarthout added 14 points.

“We’ll turn around to get ready for Perry on Tuesday and grow as players,” Blom said.

Newton (0-2) hosts Perry in a non-conference game at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The ju-

nior varsity plays at 6 p.m.

Newton erased the deficit on an 11-4 surge in the fourth quarter.

Bestell had four points in the run then seniors Marcelina Marvelli and Randi Walters had baskets for the Cardinals to make it 45-44 with 2:57 left to play. PCM junior Morgan Uhlenhopp went 1-of-4 at the free-throw line to make it a two-point Mustang lead.

Marvelli rang up a 3-pointer to give Newton a 47-46 lead. Just like in the second quarter, Newton had opportunities to extend its lead but misfired.

“Coach (Lindsay) just wanted us to get down there and play loose. I saw the opportunity to take the shot. It felt good. I just wanted my team to get the lead back,” Wignall said of her jump shot at the 1:41 mark to give the lead to PCM for good.

The Cardinals missed a shot on its next possession, blocked a PCM shot then turned it over. Newton had 20 turnovers in the game.

PCM was up 50-47 when

Newton came away from four attempts at the free-throw line with just one point. Uhlenhopp sealed the Mustang win with a 3-point play with 24 seconds left.

“We competed for 32 minutes tonight. I’m proud of how the girls responded. We saw the first-game jitters early in the game,” Newton head coach Brandon Sharp said. “We had opportunities against a good athletic team. We’ll get better from this one.”

Along with Freland’s 21 points, PCM got seven points each from Wignall and Lilli Baird. The Mustangs went 19-of-53 from the field for 36 percent. They were 7-of-21 from 3-point range and went 10-of-17 at the free-throw line.

“We moved the ball really well,” Wignall said. “We took good shots and played pretty well for the first game. Our defense was OK.” Freland, who had three 3-pointers, also dished six assists. Uhlenhopp grabbed five rebounds and Wagnall had

four rebounds. Junior Avery Stock made two steals.

Bestell finished with 14 points and nine rebounds for Newton. Blom added 10 points and grabbed five rebounds.

“Ali and Addy carried us in the first half. That was the best play as a whole post unit for us since I’ve been here,” Sharp said. “We’ve not been known for posts, and have always been guard heavy. I’m proud of those two. Coach (Eric) VanderVelden has worked with them, and I’m excited where they are at with their progress.”

Sharp said PCM did a good job of taking away the inside game in the second half. He said the Cardinal guards had to create more.

Walters had nine points and six rebounds. She also had three steals. Marvelli made six steals and dished out eight assists. Maher had seven rebounds.

North Polk defeated Carlisle 53-46 on Friday night. Katie Brown led North Polk with

21 points followed by Jaedon Murphy with 15 and Maggie Phipps with 13. Carlisle got 17 points from Meredith Hoffman and 13 points from Molly Hoekstra.

The Mustangs (1-0) travel to Knoxville on Tuesday.

“Knoxville is going to be a tough challenge for us on the road. They have a good guard who shoots well,” Lindsay said. “We will try to improve our defense, which is a staple of our teams. It’s about effort.

If you put effort in on the defensive end, good things will happen.”

race car, Earnhardt chugged several then partied with his crew and fans as Truex collected the Cup trophy.

“I was glad to have a hand in getting his career started, I am so proud of him,” Earnhardt said. “This sport needs drivers like Martin Truex Jr., and everything that he went through as a driver, and everything he went through in his personal life, and everything Sherry has gone through, it’s just great.

And they (Furniture Row) are the outsiders up there in Colorado, came down here and beat all of us from North Carolina.”

Even with that early success when driving for Earnhardt’s second-tier team, Truex’s career never took off. He had a ride with Dale Earnhardt Inc., which closed and was folded into the Ganassi lineup. He finally found some success after signing with Michael Waltrip Racing, but he got snared in

an MWR cheating scandal in 2013 that ultimately cost Truex his job and led to the eventual shutdown of the organization.

Pollex reminded Truex of how far they’ve come when she embraced him.

“I told him ‘That’s why you never give up,’” she said.

“That’s been our motto all along, ever since I started my cancer battle. We were never going to give up, and we didn’t. Everybody is battling something, everybody is fighting something in their life, not just cancer, but any kind of struggle that they’re going through in their life.

“We always say if you can fight a struggle with a positive attitude and just have a smile on your face and find the good and the silver lining in everything, in the end you’ll come out and karma will pay you back and good things will happen to you.”

Title Continued from Page 1B It was the final race as fulltime drivers for Dale Earnhardt Jr., the most popular in NASCAR , as well as Danica Patrick and Matt Kenseth. Earnhardt retired after his 25th-place finish.

Patrick blew a tire and wrecked, finishing 37th. The only woman to lead laps in the Daytona 500 and the Indianapolis 500, Patrick said in a tearful news conference this weekend that she would race only in those two events next season and then retire.

Kenseth, who finished 15th, has no ride lined up for next year and said he will take time away from NASCAR. Earnhardt’s final ride slightly overshadowed the championship race, but he tried to put the focus back on
