Newton Fest, Alumni Weekend to separate NHS alumni board votes on move to first weekend of June

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Alex Olp/Daily News Two cars bang front ends during the first heat of Colfax’s annual demolition derby Saturday. The event featured four classes of cars including small and large, minivan/pickup truck and a powder puff class.

Two major sets of summer events, which were held on the same weekend in 2015 and 2016, will be held on separate weekends in 2017.

After two years of Newton Fest and Newton High School’s Alumni Weekend happening the same weekend, the two sets of events won’t overlap in the same way next year.

The alumni events will happen the weekend of June 2-4, while the third annual Newton Fest celebration will take place the weekend of June 8-11. The NHS Alumni Association Board of Di-

rectors recently voted to schedule its 2017 annual celebration of all-alumni and class reunion events to the first weekend in June.

Mark Hallam, a representative of the Newton Alumni Association, said he feels the move will provide advantages for both the alumni events and Newton Fest.

“In recent years, newer events such as Thunder Nites and the Newton Fest celebration have created cross-competition for a single pool of attendees during the second weekend in June,” Hallam said. “As long-standing supporters of the City of Newton, our belief is there are enough activities for two very successful weekends. We came to believe two distinct celebrations — Alumni Weekend and Newton Fest — will only enhance economic development and marketing of the city.

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News COLFAX — Colfax’s annual demolition derby delivered promising entertainment once again as 2,000 people punched their tickets to watch 53 drivers smash into each other Saturday night.

Organizer Brad Magg even claimed it as one of the best years of the very popular demolition derby since it first formed as a fundraiser for Colfax Main Street eight summers ago. The weather was perfect, the event attracted people as far away as Missouri and even a bachelorette group, and seating was more spread out than previous years with the help

“Everything went very smoothly and perfectly as planned, which basically never happens,” Magg said Sunday afternoon while volunteers cleaned up at the Jasper County Fairgrounds. “Normally at this

point of the weekend everyone is burned out and tired, but everyone is still in good moods today and happy with how everything went. If we can have it go like this every year, we’d be very happy.”

City continuing O’Malley visits Newton, campaigns for Clinton

By Alex Olp work to improve Newton Daily News downtown aesthetics The Jasper County

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Curb appeal issues and concerns within the downtown area were discussed at a recent city council meeting.

Planning and Zoning Director Erin Chambers presented several areas where additional code enforcement may improve the overall look to the downtown area.

“There are a handful of issues that continue to arise that are not easily addressed through the existing codes,” Chambers said. “Every year we just keep revisiting this and adding tools that will keep improvement happening.”

T h e nuisance codes w e r e significantly amended in 2012 and reviewed Chambers a g a i n in 2014 and 2015 with some additional amendments. The amendments, along with adding a code enforcement inspector to the city line up, have made a lot of progress addressing issues and raising the bar for expectations within the community CODES | 3A

Stocks end week mostly lower after Yellen speech

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Less than one year ago, Malloree Grove moved into the former Midland’s Manufacturing building in Monroe to begin business as MG Masonry, Inc. In that time, she has started a remodel of the building, including new exterior mason work and painting, new windows and the start to a fresh office space, complete with her own personal touches.

Young entrepreneur continuing family masonry business in Monroe MONROE — Brick laying is in her blood, and now young entrepreneur Malloree Grove is continuing the family business with MG Masonry, Inc. Just a couple of years out of college, Grove has started her own masonry business, located in Monroe, and already has several large projects under her belt.

“Brick laying has been in the Grove family for a long time.

My dad started his own company, Grove Masonry, so I decided to start my own,” Grove said.

“I decided I wanted to keep the tradition, I really like it. Just because I’m a girl doesn’t mean I can’t.”

Doing mostly commercial work, the company specializes in brick and block. Whether it is working on schools, jails or retail stores, MG can provide masonry needs of any kind.

Although she is thick in the business now, she didn’t always think her career path would lead her to masonry.

“If you would have asked my parents when I was 10 and 12, they probably would have laughed and said no way,” Grove said. “I was the type of girl that didn’t want to get my hands dirty and gross.”

It wasn’t until she was in college at William Penn in Oskaloosa the idea of continuing

(Alice)

the family business really took shape.

“I knew I always wanted to go into business and I though, why not? I have been around it all of my life,” Grove said.

Under the guidance of her father, who had recently retired, Grove began putting pieces together to start her own business. After becoming incorporated, they started work finding a place to set up shop.

“When I was in school, we stumbled upon this place,” Grove said. “It looked like an opportunity to create from your own.”

That place is the former Midland Manufacturing Building at 108 N. Taylor St. in Monroe. The long-time vacant building was the perfect place for a family who knows how to be creative and rebuild.

“As a masonry family, you know you can always add to things and reconstruct,” Grove said. “A lot of people would have looked at it and thought, ‘oh this is a huge project.’ Yes, it is a huge project but we’ve been adding on as time and funds allow.”

The remodeling has been vast and noticeable. On the outside of the building, broken doors and windows have been replaced, the outer blocks have received a fresh coat of paint and a new front entrance has been constructed, showing off the masonry skills available by

Ann Arnott

the company.

The interior has also received attention with a new office layout and uniquely constructed walls.

“The office area used to be all drywall, and we came in last winter and gutted it,” Grove said. “We had some leftover block so we used it to make walls. We also had plank board that weren’t any good to use in the business so we let them dry out and put them on the walls.

It is kind of a neat different thing that most people haven’t seen.”

The rear of the building has also been addressed with new walls constructed to help close in the open area.

“Essentially we want to block it in so it is not an eyesore and not everyone can see all of our equipment,” Grove said. “It will be storage, but it will still look nice all around.”

Grove is continually working to build and grow her business.

She recently completed work at Southeast Polk schools and has projects at the fire station in Carlisle and a maintenance building in Clive on deck.

“It is really cool to know, ‘hey we built that, we made that building possible,’” Grove said.

“It is kind of an amazing thing to me.”

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News

NEW YORK (AP) — Stocks ended mostly lower last week after Federal Reserve officials said the case has strengthened for raising interest rates above the super-low levels that have helped fuel a seven-year bull market.

Major U.S. indexes initially climbed after a speech by Fed Chair Janet Yellen that was bullish on the economy but gave no timetable for future rate increases. Then investors began to have second thoughts, wondering if an increase was possible as early as next month, and buyers turned to sellers.

By the close of trading, seven of the 10 sectors of the Standard and Poor’s 500 index had fallen, led by a 2.1 percent drop in utilities. Investors frustrated with low-yielding bonds have flocked to utilities for their steady dividends, but higher rates would make those stocks less attractive.

The S&P 500 slipped 3.43 points, or 0.2 percent, to 2,169.04. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 53.01 points, or 0.3 percent, to 18,395.40. The Nasdaq composite rose 6.71 points, or 0.1 percent, to 5,218.92.

In her speech in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, Yellen noted that the Fed is moving toward raising interest rates in light of a solid job market and an improved outlook for the economy. But she stopped short of signaling when the next rate hike might be.

Stocks climbed as investors perceived her comments as “dovish,” meaning a continuation of the easy money policies. Yields on government bonds fell.

But by the end of the day both stocks and bonds had reversed, with the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rising to 1.62 percent from 1.58 percent late Thursday.

Perhaps helping the turn of sentiment were comments on CNBC from Fed Vice Chair Stanley Fischer suggesting the central bank could raise rates twice before year’s end, instead of once in December as many investors had been expecting.

Lisa Kopp, senior vice president at U.S. Bank Wealth Management, said she wasn’t surprised by the selling given the “jitteriness” in the markets.

“Anything that’s not going to be straight-out dovish is going to be disappointing,” she said.

Yellen’s speech on Friday notwithstanding, not everyone is convinced a rate hike is coming soon.

“She suggests the economy is improving, but the GDP numbers for the past three quarters are closer to 1 percent than three percent,” said Bruce Bittles, chief investment strategist at R.W. Baird. “That is very anemic.”

A report early in the day from the Commerce Department showed GDP, or gross domestic product, for the second quarter rose by a revised 1.1 percent, slightly lower than initially forecast.

Since exiting the recession in the summer of 2009, the U.S. economy has been growing sluggishly, making it the slowest recovery since World War II. Among stocks making moves on Friday, Herbalife fell $1.43, or 2.3 percent, to $60.50 after news reports that that Carl Icahn, the company’s biggest shareholder and defender, has been trying to unload his stake in the embattled company. After trading closed, Icahn said the reports were wrong and, in fact, he has bought more shares.

Design software company Autodesk jumped $5.17, or 8 percent, to $68.87 after reporting a small profit, beating expectations of a loss.

However, a few showers on Friday passed by the time Saturday rolled around and the only time spectators got wet during the event was when the Colfax firetruck in charge of dampening the derby grounds in between heats briefly sprayed the stands with the fire hose.

O’Malley

Continued from Page 1A comments were followed by cheers from Jasper County supporters, many of whom visited with him during one of his other trips to Newton this past year.

O’Malley’s last stop in Newton was in January while he was still in the presidential race. However, he soon dropped out in February.

“You guys were so good to me for my brief shining moment as a presidential candidate,” O’Malley said.

“I have been traveling all around the country and I’ve asked the Clinton-Kaine campaign to send me back to Iowa as often as you can because

ground becomes a mud hole.

We were very lucky that the rain on Friday didn’t stick around, and it was that dry back there.”

In case it did rain bags of wood chips were on standby to fill in any problematic mud puddles, but they were not needed.

Spectators saw four classes of wrecking-mobiles compete in the ring including a powderpuff class, a minivan/ pickup truck group, small compact cars and a class for large cars. But before the big engines rolled into the arena, the power wheels derby gave more than a dozen kid-drivers an opportunity to do some smashing of their own.

2015. The NewtonFest. org schedule page included several alumni events, such as the All-Classes Open House and Reunion at Iowa Speedway’s Newton Club, the Alumni Brunch and the individual class reunions.

Jessica Lowe, who cochairs the Newton Fest committee alongside Nathan Unsworth this past year, said preparations are already being done for next summer’s events.

The power wheels derby was a returning event from last year and was again sponsored by Cratty Shack.

All funds raised during the event, including ticket and concession stand sales, will benefit Colfax Main Street. A fundraising grand total was not available by presstime.

The demolition derby was not the only event happening in Colfax on Saturday as the classic car show made a return and attracted 73 vintage automobiles to West Front Street. Numerous door prizes and nearly 30 car show awards were given away this past weekend, including a people’s choice award won by Tim Wikert showing his 1969

“Volunteers on the Newton Fest committee are already working on plans for the third-annual celebration,” Lowe said. “We are excited to continue to make Newton Fest bigger and better with each year.”

Some of the best-received additions to Newton Fest in 2016 included a barbecue contest, which drew considerable Des Moines-area participation, and an outdoor performance by Ladies of the 80s, a Twin Cit-

on basic property maintenance, Chambers said.

City staff would like to continue the progress and start addressing additional issues that generally occur within the downtown area and commercial areas.

Chambers first addressed current sign ordinances. The sign ordinance does require the removal of abandoned signs which are defined as signs advertising something that no long exists.

“For example, a sign for a closed business after six months of its closure needs to come down,” Chambers said.

Currently, there is not a regulatory tool that allows the city to address faded, damaged or ugly or out of date signs, Chambers said.

IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) is a chronic condition of the gastrointestinal tract with symptoms that may include diarrhea, constipation, bloating, urgency and feeling of incomplete passing of stools. New research revealed that many people dealing with IBS are deficient in vitamin D. In the small study of 51 people, 82% had low vitamin D. Researchers are planning a large, clinical trial to test for vitamin D levels and the possible effects and benefits of supplementation of vitamin D3 for those with IBS. If you have IBS, talk with your doctor or pharmacist regarding vitamin D before starting any supplementation.

All in all, organizers said the return of the car show was a success due to help from volunteers and great weather.

“All week the forecast said about 50 percent chance of rain,” one of four organizers Gary Jones said. “So we kind of lowered our expectations and thought if we could get 40 to 50 cars we’d be pretty happy. All of a sudden they just kept coming in. It was a good show this year.”

However, one of the biggest discussion topics from Saturday’s show was an inaugural valve cover racing tournament.

Competitors were instructed to build a racer by using an automotive engine valve cover for the body. the racers had to weigh less than 10 pounds and be no longer than 30 inches.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Peeling paint regulations is an area that the city council would like to explore further after a discussion with Planning and Zoning Director Erin Chambers on addressing issues and concerns in the downtown area.

Another issue brought to Chambers’ attention regularly is peeling paint on buildings. The topic was brought before the council in 2014 to cover all buildings citywide but the council city decided not to pursue any code revisions at the time.

Chambers presented a new code that could require a property owner to address peeling paint on a building facade if it is occurring on more than 50 percent of a building facade. The council was interested in pursuing the new language for downtown buildings.

Dilapidated awnings was a second area the council was interested in addressing. Chambers said the city does not have anything very

direct to deal with awnings right now, but the issue can be addressed using the downtown micro-grant available through the city.

“Awnings in the downtown area not only provide protection and coverage from the elements, but add character and interest to the downtown,” Chambers said. “When ripped, damaged, or otherwise dilapidated, the awning can do just the opposite of what they were intended for.”

An area the city has addressed regularly is growths on buildings, such as ivy or vining plants. The plants are not a nuisance itself, but it does need to be maintained.

“For example, it can’t

be covering the windows and doors, which has been upheld in court,” Chambers said.

The final area of concern addressed are weeds growing in cracks that are not easily addressed through existing codes. The nuisance code in place provides tools to address grass or weeds more than eight inches in height.

The council decided against pursuing any regulations to address low growing weeds the cracks.

Changes requested by the council to current codes will be addressed at a future council meeting.

Hinterland happiness I

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers

have discovered I really like music festivals. I’ve always loved music — listening to it, playing instruments and singing. I have been to concerts, although I didn’t manage that until after I graduated college.

Last year, I attended my first music festival with two great friends, and it’s an experience I won’t soon forget. It was the first year of the Hinterland Music Festival.

It was unexpectedly moved to St. Charles because Water Works Park in Des Moines was flooded. It was the best thing that could have happened.

The amphitheater in St. Charles, Iowa was a perfect location for a day of music.

You could sit on the hill or go down by the stage to enjoy what the bands had to offer.

Immediately after the festival, I knew I would be returning the next year. I was

excited when it was announced Willie Nelson was this year’s headliner. I haven’t seen him live, and he is a legendary singer and songwriter. I knew I would return to Hinterland no matter what.

My friends had intended to go back and recreate the experience we so loved the year before; however, life can get in the way of even the best plans. I was the only one who was free to attend, so I invited my boyfriend to come to the festival with me and enjoy the experience.

It was his first music festival, so I could see what it was like for him to experience this for the first time as I had the year before. It was a beautiful day outside. A sunny day in the 70s — it was the perfect day to sit on a blanket all day and listen to music. You didn’t even have to know the songs to get caught up in the experience.

Hinterland brings together some great

folk music artists I may or may not have seen in another setting. Before the big day, I used YouTube to search for the musicians I was about to see. I wish I had given myself more time to listen, but I lost track of time after my time in Branson.

Willie Nelson and Grace Potter were the two artists I knew fairly well. Grace was probably my favorite performer of the night. She really rocked the stage during her set. I could have watched her sing for much longer. Willie was great.

His singing voice isn’t exactly what it used to be, but he can still play the guitar.

It is amazing to hear his best songs from the man himself.

I’ll be honest, I didn’t know most of the bands playing at the festival. However, that is the best way to discover someone new. Of the groups I didn’t know, Lake Street Drive was my favorite. I enjoyed what I found online and their live set made me a fan. I have been listening to their music ever since the festival. The lead singer, Rachael Price, has a voice I love to listen to. It’s so jazzy and smooth.

I’d recommend them to anyone. Give the group a listen if you have a chance.

I enjoyed all of the other artists as well. The Iowa group, Field Division, did an excellent job kicking off the day.

William Elliott Whitmore was a one man band on stage. Pokey LaFarge has an amazing voice and band. He was the other one I got excited about after hearing his music online.

The rest of the groups included Hayes Carll, Turnpike Troubadours and Shovels & Rope. If you love folk music, check these musicians out on YouTube or go see them live. It makes for great entertainment.

Hinterland Music Festival has been a blast two years in a row. I can just imagine what next year will bring. If you’ve never experienced a music festival before, grab a blanket and people you love to be around, and experience a relaxing day outside listening to some great music.

Eye on America John Stossel

Libertarian town hall

Vote for Donald Trump? No! Hillary Clinton? No! They are not trustworthy. They push bad ideas.

Fortunately, we have another choice: Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and his running mate, William Weld. But most Americans don’t even know they exist.

It would be good if the two ex-governors were allowed to join next month’s presidential debates, but the Commission on Presidential Debates will allow that only if Johnson reaches 15 percent in a select handful of polls. He’s at about 10 percent now. He tried to get the Commission to relax its rules, but they would not.

You can still get a feel for what these candidates offer by watching my show Friday. I’ll do a Libertarian “town hall.” My studio audience will grill Johnson and Weld about ... well, whatever they want.

I assume marijuana prohibition will come up. “It’s prohibition,” says Johnson, “that kills people. ... Legalizing marijuana will lead to less overall substance abuse because (marijuana is) safer than all the other substances out there.”

That appeals to liberals, but libertarians offer much to conservatives, too. Johnson recognizes that “government is too big. It spends too much money. It taxes too much.”

He proposes “a 20 percent reduction in federal spending. To do that, you’ve got to include Medicaid, Medicare, military spending.” That’s responsible budgeting.

But some libertarians say Johnson and Weld are not libertarian enough. I’ll confront the candidates with those criticisms.

For example, Johnson sides with judges who say government must force Christian bakers to bake cakes for gay weddings.

“If you discriminate on the basis of religion, that is a black hole,” Johnson said. “You should be able to discriminate for stink or (if a customer is) not wearing shoes, (but) if we discriminate on the basis of religion, that’s doing harm to a big class of people.”

It might. But this is not a clear-headed way to think about the role of government. Discrimination hurts, but discrimination is part of life. We discriminate when we pick our friends, jobs, where we live. In private life, discrimination is constant.

Government discrimination is wrong. Jim Crow — segregation — was very wrong. It is good that the Civil Rights Act ended that. But Barry Goldwater was right 52 years ago and Rand Paul right in 2013, when each said that two of the nine parts of the Civil Rights Act were wrong: the two parts that reach into private life.

I suspect Johnson defends the rules because he fears the ignorant media won’t acknowledge the difference. Goldwater’s comments helped end his presidential hopes, and the media bullied Rand Paul into silence.

But Libertarian candidates should explain the difference, not cave in to the anti-discrimination mob.

No Christian photographer should be forced to photograph a gay wedding. No Black Student Association should be forced to accept whites. No Jewish baker should be forced to put swastikas on a cake.

Every private business should be allowed to refuse service to whomever they want. Outlawing all discrimination perpetuates hatred by driving it underground. Hatred festers when people don’t know who the bigots are.

Yes, it was cruel when lunch counters turned blacks away. But today there are many places to eat lunch or buy wedding cakes. If a restaurant refuses blacks, others will profit by serving people the racists reject.

Many of us will boycott the racists and give money to the inclusive businesses. That’s a better solution than government trying to force people to act against their beliefs.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

OUR VIEW

Voters should Preserve the Pride Rebuilding Berg is a wise use of tax money Newton Daily News Editorial The Newton Community School District has always sought to provide top-notch school facilities and education for its children. A choice on the Sept. 13 ballot gives Newton-area voters a chance to invest in the future of local education and continue to provide that kind of excellence.

Voting yes on the general-obligation bond to rebuild Berg Middle School will help the school district provide an important piece of a changing and evolving educational community. Voters should take advantage of this rare opportunity to help create a fantastic, vibrant center of learning that will continue to show what Newton has always been: a place where the development of young minds is crucial to success.

There is a considerable tax burden on Newton property, Jasper County and the state and nation as a whole. The bond will not only add a tiny amount to that total — it will also allow taxpayers to make a strong, resounding statement about the

importance of education in Newton.

The annual tax increase figure of $8 on property with an assessed taxable valuation of $100,000 is accurate. People who own residential or commercial property worth more will have a slightly larger increase, but this tax is a tiny fraction of a Jasper County property owner’s taxes.

In fact, the amount of increased tax for the bond is not even one-fifth of all the tax total charged by the Newton Community School District. School districts tax for many other purposes besides bonding for a new building but, per Iowa Code, new construction is something we get to vote on.

A committee of about 25 people met to consider what can go into the building, which will use the $26.9 million voter-approved bond. Once the district purchases bonds and sends it out for bid, it cannot ask taxpayers for more money for the project — it must pay off the bonds in 20 years.

Renovating or remodeling Berg to solve the problems creat-

ed by its design and expansions is not practical. Beyond the minimum estimate of $17.6 million to complete these projects, all of the students would be in portable buildings while roofing is replaced, doorways are expanded and a complicated utility systems are replaced. It’s much simpler and cost-effective to simply replace it with a new building.

Further, a modern school will help retain quality educators and practices, which is a positive move for the entire community.

We urge voters to take advantage of the open house tours the bond committee has arranged for residents to view the state of the school for themselves. On Tuesday and Thursday of this week at 5:30 p.m., taxpayers can gather in the Berg cafeteria to learn more about the need to rebuild the school. Another forum and tour is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Sept. 11.

Vote yes on the Sept. 13 school bond. It’s the best use of our resources and what’s best for the future of the Newton Community School District.

Woman copes with anxiety by filtering out bad news

DEAR ABBY: Clearly, America is in a state of turmoil. I am horrified and ashamed of the senseless death occurring daily.

I deal with anxiety, particularly regarding fear of death. As a result, the only thing I’ve found that I can do to cope with current events is to scan headlines, and ask my understanding husband for a synopsis of events that doesn’t include major triggers.

However, I feel serious guilt that I may not be fully educating myself on recent events. Am I wrong to prioritize my mental well-being over the gravity of our country’s current situation? — SERIOUS GUILT DEAR SERIOUS GUILT: Wrong? Absolutely not! According to The Journal of the American Medical Association, 13 percent of Americans now use antidepressants to combat depression and anxiety. Our news media feed so many salacious details into our homes in the interest of high ratings that it’s a miracle the majority of Americans aren’t in need of them.

If you are getting the news you need to know, do not feel guilty for using your husband as a filter. You are only protecting yourself, and that’s not wrong. It’s HEALTHY. DEAR ABBY: I need advice. I’m 23 and have been living with my boyfriend of almost two years. I have never been in a relationship before this one, so I have little experience. I love him dearly, but every time there’s an issue between us, it always becomes my fault and I’m always the one to apologize.

What should I do? — INEXPERIENCED IN TAMPA DEAR INEXPERIENCED: Even a stopped clock is right twice a day. You should not be forced into the role of perpetual peacekeeper by accepting the blame for everything, and it won’t improve your relationship.

Because your boyfriend’s preferred method of solving disagreements is laying the blame on you, suggest the

two of you get couples counseling.

However, if he refuses — and he may — you will then have to decide whether this is the way you want to spend the foreseeable future because things aren’t likely to change.

DEAR ABBY: My sister-in-law “Dani” and my brother have been married almost three years. I recently discovered that Dani has created a fake social media page. She posted some nude photos on it and acts like she’s single. I suspect she is getting paid to do live nude video chatting, too.

Abby, I’m shocked over this. I’m sure my brother would explode with rage and disappointment if he knew.

They have two small daughters, which leaves me to wonder if she has considered their embarrassment if they ever find out.

She’s a good person, so I don’t know why she would do this. I really need your advice. — SHOCKED SISTER-IN-LAW IN THE SOUTH DEAR S-I-L: It’s time to talk to Dani. Tell her what you have learned and ask her why she’s doing it. When you do, ask how she thinks your brother will react when he finds out — if he doesn’t already know — and how this could affect their daughters. This may be a fling, a way to prove to herself that she’s still attractive, or a way to earn needed money. But you will never know until you initiate a conversation with her.

Police department reviving underage party patrols

Man killed in fall from roof, authorities say ROCK VALLEY— Authorities say a man has been killed in a fall from a roof in northwest Iowa.

The accident occurred around 1:20 p.m.

Data: Increase in ex-offenders returning to Iowa prisons

AP Photo Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at Joni’s Roast and Ride during a fundraiser at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines Saturday.

Warning of ‘war’ on farmers, Trump seeks support in Iowa DES MOINES (AP) — Donald Trump warned Saturday of a “war on the American farmer,” telling a crowd in Iowa that rival Hillary Clinton “wants to shut down family farms” and implement anti-agriculture policies.

Trump’s speech at the annual “Roast and Ride” fundraiser for Republican Sen. Joni Ernst came just hours after Clinton received her first national security briefing as the Democratic presidential nominee.

Trump skipped the 42mile motorcycle ride that preceded the event in a state where polls show a tight contest, a rare bright spot for Trump amid a sea of challenging battleground states. Joining him on stage were top Iowa Republicans — among them Ernst, Gov. Terry Branstad, Sen. Chuck Grassley and Rep. Steve

King — in a rare show of support for a candidate who has struggled to unite his party.

In a hat tip to Iowa’s agriculture industry, Trump renewed his commitment to continuing a requirement that all gasoline sold contain an ethanol-based additive, an issue important to corn growers. He also promised to cut taxes on family farms, which he called the “backbone” of the country.

“Hillary Clinton wants to shut down family farms just like she wants to shut down the mines and the steelworkers,” he said in front of a wall of straw bales at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. “She will do this not only through radical regulation, but also by raising taxes on family farms - and all businesses - to rates as high as nearly 50 percent.”

Clinton’s campaign

website touts a plan to increase funding to support farmers and ranchers in local food markets and regional food systems, saying she’ll create a “focused safety net to help family farms get through challenging times.” It also says she plans to target federal resources in commodity payment, crop insurance, and disaster assistance programs to support family operations.

Branstad, in an interview with The Associated Press prior to the speech, said he felt that Trump could score points against Clinton by focusing on agricultural issues. Branstad, whose son runs Trump’s campaign in the state, said he also hopes Trump would launch campaign ads there and that he sees the race as “about even.”

“I don’t like that but, hopefully, that’s going to change,” Branstad said.

DES MOINES (AP) — There’s an increase in the number of former Iowa inmates returning to prison, according to new data, and corrections officials are still figuring out why.

The Iowa Department of Corrections measures recidivism as the percent of offenders released from prison or work release who return to corrections within three years. For the budget year that ended in June, just over 1,600 offenders were in that category for a rate of 34.2 percent. That’s up from 31.9 percent the previous year, when just over 1,500 inmates returned.

It’s the second consecutive year the rate increased.

Lettie Prell, research director for the department, said the last two years of data could be part of a statistical fluctuation but her office is analyzing the data to take a closer look and determine possible causes. She plans to release a report this fall.

“This is the power of statistics to let us know when a trend is simply just fluctuating as expected or whether there is statistically significant change,” She said. “We want to be good stewards of the public’s safety as well as taxpayer dollars and go in and see what

we can find and address, so we can turn this trend around.”

There’s a range of reasons why someone returns to prison. It can include committing a new crime but it can also include violating parole for a more minor circumstance that doesn’t involve a conviction.

At an Aug. 5 meeting with the Board of Corrections, records show Corrections Director Jerry Bartruff said higher supervision ratios are needed for offenders who have a high risk of recidivism.

He noted the difficulty of providing the level of supervision needed given staffing levels.

Getting criminal psychiatric evaluations is slow in Iowa DUBUQUE (AP) — Nearly two months after a suspect in a Dubuque killing was ordered to have a psychiatric evaluation he was transferred to a state facility earlier this month.

The delay in Helmon Betwell’s case is fairly typical for Iowa defendants waiting for an evaluation at the state facility in Coralville. The Iowa Medical and Classification Center has 18 beds to serve the entire state, and there is always a waiting list.

Fred Scaletta with the state Corrections Department said the current waiting list has 11 people on it, and that is shorter than normal.

In June, a judge decided 20-year-old Betwell wasn’t competent to stand trial for the sexual assault and death of 66-year-old Nancy Krapfl. He will be evaluated and treated at the Coralville facility, which specializes in providing competency evaluations or treatment for people facing criminal charges.

Dr. Harbans Deol, medical director of the Iowa Department of Corrections, said a person’s length of

stay could be a few weeks or several months. Efforts to restore competency can take up to 18 months.

“If we find a person healthy and competent we’ll send them back to the county jail to continue with the medication we’ve given,” Deol said.

Deol said the Department of Corrections encourages courts to send defendants to other facilities for evaluations, but the state facility in Coralville still handles most of the cases.

“They can be done at other (mental health institutes), but they’re always sent to us,” Deol said.

Public defender Steve Hodge, who represents Betwell and several other defendants who have been treated at the Coralville center, said there have been delays at the facility, but noted that is part of a bigger shortage of mental health providers statewide.

“It’s been an ongoing problem in Iowa, but now because we have such a volume of local cases (needing those services), it’s become apparent to the public,” Hodge said.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High junior running back Josh Miravalles, right, pulls away from an Ottumwa defender on a first-half run Friday night at H.A. Lynn Stadium. Newton’s Cardinals pulled away from the visiting Bulldogs in the 2016 season opening football game for a 42-6 win.

Cardinals rough up Bulldogs in opener

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Hello, Class 4A football.

Newton High returned to Class 4A football competition with a strong opening victory Friday night. The Cardinals powered past visiting Ottumwa’s Bulldogs, 42-6, as the two former CIML rivals played in on-again, off-again rain at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

“We worked hard all summer, and that’s why we got this win,” senior linebacker Brady Smith said after the Cardinals dominated in a 42-6 win over visiting Ottumwa. “We did it.”

Smith along with senior offensive guard Alex Miller,

senior running back Jordan Norvell and senior safety Josh Gulling spoke for the team following the win. To a man, they said the team knows there’s more work to be done.

“We know we’re going to play better teams this season. That’s just a fact,” Miller said. “We’ll work on our rocket sweeps, which is where our offense starts as it opens up the inside runs and the passing game.”

Norvell, who scored two touchdowns Friday night, admitted he was worried about playing at the 4A level this season.

“But I got past that, and we as a team, set our minds to working hard to be the best

we can be this season,” Norvell said. “I was playing for Trenton Brady. We all are.”

Emotion and energy swirled around the Cardinal football team heading into the 2016 opening game.

Prior to the varsity game Friday night, Newton honored three Cardinals who died since late April — former teacher and coach Tim Trier, former player and 2010 NHS graduate Ryan Klingensmith and Trenton Brady, who would have been a senior on the 2016 team.

Smith, Miller, senior offensive tackle Caden Manning and Gulling were the game’s captains. They walked out to

the middle of the field carrying the No. 52 jersey of their late teammate Brady, who died in an accident in June, to start the game.

Then the Cardinals went to work on the field against the Bulldogs.

Newton’s opening drive stalled out, and the Cardinals punted the ball to Ottumwa, which took over on its own 20-yard line.

“I thought the first series Ottumwa was taking it to us pretty good. We came back and responded to that,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said. “I wanted to see if we got hit in the mouth a little bit if these guys would

stand and fight. They did. I couldn’t be prouder of how they played.”

The Bulldogs had two high snaps over quarterback Addison Coram’s head but recovered the ball both times.

The Bulldogs used a pass play to pick up a first down and moved the ball to Newton’s 44-yard line.

Newton’s defense set up the first score of the game. On a fourth-and-four play, the Bulldogs decided to go for it, but Newton’s sophomore defensive end Jaise Gulling sacked Coram to give the Cardinals the football at Ottumwa’s 45.

L-S flexes muscles in dominating win over C-M

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News SULLY — With five of its top six tacklers returning from last year, the Lynnville-Sully defense was primed to have a big season.

Hawk coach Mike Parkinson just didn’t want anyone else to know that.

After Friday night’s effort against Colfax-Mingo, the L-S defense won’t surprise anyone.

Lynnville-Sully’s defense dominated Colfax-Mingo in the season opener Friday night. The Hawks held the Tigerhawks to negative-8 yards of total offense, returned an interception for a touchdown and had three sacks while keeping Colfax-Mingo off the scoreboard during a 56-0 home triumph.

“I think defensively, we had guys in the right spots, we had the right defenses lined up, and the guys played their tails off,” Parkinson said. “Our defense is what we want to hang our hat on. I like our defense.

They played great tonight, but we still have some work to do.”

Lynnville-Sully (1-0) led 35-0 at halftime thanks to two touchdown runs by junior Sage Zylstra, a touchdown pass by junior Tyler Van Zante and a 68-yard pick-six by sophomore Gage Vander Leest.

Sophomore Evan Squires, who made it 35-0 with a

Troy Hyde/Daily News Lynnville-Sully junior Sage Zylstra (40) breaks the tackle of Colfax-Mingo’s Alex Lewis (22) during the season opener of the high school football season Friday in Sully. Zylstra rushed for two touchdown and led the Hawk defense with five tackles and a sack during the Hawks’ 56-0 victory. L-S’ Evan Squires (26) and Colfax-Mingo’s Jimmy Camp, far right, also are pictured.

4-yard touchdown run with 44 seconds to play in the second quarter, finished with 82 rushing yards on 11 carries to lead the way.

Several Hawks lined up in the backfield though as L-S gained 176 yards on the ground.

“We made a few mistakes on offense, but we executed pretty well,” Parkinson said.

“We tried some things out tonight to see where we were.

We have so many guys we can use.”

Both Parkinson and Zylstra gave full credit to the offensive linemen, who opened holes for the tailbacks and made sure quarterbacks Van Zante and Elijah Collins were well protected.

“That was a really fun game.

I have to give it to the guys up front,” Zylstra said. “The holes were there. I can’t thank them enough. We just played as a team, and the result was what we wanted it to be.”

The offensive consisted of seniors Trevor Squires and Dylan Roozeboom, juniors Jesse Van Wyk and Aaron Van De Krol and sophomore Rylan James.

“The offensive line has come together really well,” Parkinson said. “Those guys have taken a lot of ownership.

It’s a tribute to those linemen that we can use different guys in the backfield. It’s those guys up front getting nitty gritty and getting down into and moving people.”

CMB falls to Nevada in season opener

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MAXWELL — Trent Stahl helped Nevada avenge a 2015 loss to Collins-Maxwell/Baxter with four touchdown runs during a Cubs’ 27-14 win over the Raiders on Friday night.

CMB senior Blake Coughenour rushed for 98 yards and two touchdowns, but the Cubs never trailed after Stahl scored twice in the second quarter to give Nevada a 14-8 lead.

Coughenour’s 2-yard run in the first quarter put the Raiders on the board first. He added a 9-yard run to tie the game in the third.

Stahl pushed the advantage back to Nevada (1-0) though.

He put the finishing touches on the win when he scampered 25 yards in the fourth to put the Cubs up by two scores.

Stahl finished with 94 yards on 19 carries in the win. The Cubs rushed for 169 yards in all, while senior quarterback Macade Matuska threw for 72 yards.

Coughenour finished with 98 rushing yards and two scores on 25 carries to lead the Raider offense.

CMB, which did not have the services of starting quarterback Hunter McWhirter, got three catches for 63 yards from Tucker Maxwell, three catches for 30 yards from Travis Lindemoen and two catches for 21 yards from Zach Schafer.

Coughenour’s lone catch

went for 16 yards.

In his first varsity start, junior Braydon Aker was 10-for-26 for 132 yards and an interception.

Senior Ben Gunderson led the defense with 7.5 tackles, while senior Caleb Van Zante had 6.5 tackles. Senior Archer McFadden had five tackles and one sack.

The Raiders look to find the win column at 7:30 p.m. Friday against Heart of Iowa Conference rival North Polk in Alleman. The Comets defeated CMB 24-7 in district play last year.

This year’s game is a non-district contest.

Special teams miscues doom Mustangs in loss to rival Pella Christian

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News MONROE — The Mustangs fared better against Pella Christian’s high-powered offense than it did a year ago, but PCM made too many mistakes on special teams during a season-opening 42-20 home loss to the Eagles on Friday night.

Pella Christian’s Levi Jungling returned the opening kickoff for a touchdown, took back a punt on the final play of the second quarter and the Mustangs failed to recover three onside kicks and fumbled away an Eagle punt.

PCM (0-1) tied the Eagles at 7-all following a 10-yard touchdown run by sophomore Wes Cummings in the first quarter and then senior Luke Greiner gave the Mustangs their only lead of the game when he took a screen pass from senior Sheldon Speers 44 yards for a touchdown.

Greiner added another 23yard touchdown catch from Speers in the fourth quarter, but

Greiner

Telfer

28 unanswered points by Pella Christian was too much to overcome.

The Eagles (1-0) recovered three straight onside kicks in the second quarter and scored twice. Both scores came on touchdown passes by David Kacmarynski. The first TD pass covered 33 yards to Hayden Vroom and the second was a 13-yarder to Caleb Roose.

Kacmarynski hooked up with Jungling twice for touchdowns in the fourth quarter, too.

Speers was 16-of-24 for 248 yards, two touchdowns and three interceptions in his first varsity start. Greiner had seven catches for 131 yards and

two scores, while senior Noah Clark hauled in four passes for 86 yards.

Cummings caught four passes for 26 yards. He carried it 15 times for 39 yards and one touchdown.

Sophomore Isaac Telfer had 6.5 tackles and an interception to lead the Mustang defense, while Greiner had six tackles and a fumble recovery. Sophomore Brycen Rogers had six tackles, and Speers also had an interception.

Kacmarynski threw for 355 yards in last year’s win over the Mustangs. PCM held the Eagle senior to 193 yards Friday. He threw four touchdowns and two interceptions.

Jungling had six catches for 88 yards and two scores. The Eagles rushed for 118 yards.

The Mustangs play at 7 p.m.

Friday at Montezuma, which defeated BGM, 24-14, in its opener.

Kaepernick will sit through anthem until there’s change SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Defiant, and determined to be a conduit for U.S. change, Colin Kaepernick plans to sit through the national anthem for as long as he feels is appropriate and until he sees significant progress in America Kaepernick — specifically when it comes to race relations.

He knows he could be cut

by San Francisco for this stand.

Criticized, ostracized, and he’ll go it all alone if need be.

The quarterback realizes he might be treated poorly in some road cities, and he’s ready for that, too, saying he’s not overly concerned about his safety, but “if something happens that’s only proving my point.”

“I’m going to continue to stand with the people that are being oppressed,” Kaepernick said Sunday at his locker. “To me this is something that has to change. When there’s significant change and I feel like that flag represents what it’s supposed to represent, this country is representing people the way that it’s supposed to, I’ll stand.”

Two days after he refused to

stand for the “The Star Spangled Banner” before the 49ers’ preseason loss to the Packers, Kaepernick insists whatever the consequences, he will know “I did what’s right.” He hasn’t heard from the NFL or anyone else about his actions.

“No one’s tried to quiet me and, to be honest, it’s not something I’m going to be quiet about,” he said. “I’m going to speak the truth when I’m asked about it. This isn’t for look. This isn’t for publicity or anything like that. This is for people that don’t have the voice. And this is for people that are being oppressed and need to have equal opportunities to be successful.

To provide for families and not

live in poor circumstances.”

Letting his hair go au natural and sprinting between drills as usual, Kaepernick took the field Sunday with the 49ers as his stance drew chatter across NFL camps.

He explained his viewpoints to teammates in the morning, some agreeing with his message but not necessarily his method. Some said they know he has offended his countrymen, others didn’t even know what he had done.

“That’s his right as a citizen,” Kelly said. “We recognize his right as an individual to choose to participate or not participate in the national anthem.”

Dominating: L-S Hawks start season with convincing win over Colfax-Mingo Continued from Page 1B On the flip side, Colfax-Mingo coach Jeff Lietz came into the season thinking the offensive line would be a strength. That wasn’t the case Friday as Colfax-Mingo (0-1) converted just five first downs and threw for 21 yards.

“There is still a lot of question marks for this team. I don’t know where the leadership is at right now,” Lietz said. “I need to find that guy that is going to put the team on his back and say, ‘let’s do this.’ I don’t know who that guy is right now.”

To add injury to insult, the Tigerhawks suffered injuries to a few key players, too.

Senior Jimmy Camp and junior Reegan Van Dyke both missed the entire second half with shoulder and knee injuries, respectively. Sophomore Zarek Hill was held out for most of the second because of muscle cramps.

Camp and Hill were removed for precautionary reasons. Lietz did not know the extent of Van Dyke’s knee injury.

“It wasn’t benefitting us at that point to leave those guys in the game,” Lietz said.

Lynnville-Sully’s first offensive possession of the season ended with an interception by former Hawk Trenton Jones.

After the L-S defense stopped the Tigerhawks on fourth down, the offense went 43 yards in five plays. The scoring drive ended with a Zylstra 10-yard touchdown run and also included an 11yard run by Evan Squires and a 13-yard run by sophomore Nate Stock.

The Hawks’ next possession also started in Colfax-Mingo territory. This time, L-S drove 45 yards in three plays.

Squires began the drive with a 17-yard run, Zylstra then went 13 yards on the ground

and Van Zante ended it with a 16-yard touchdown pass to senior Caden Dunsbergen.

Van Zante and Collins combined for 124 passing yards and two touchdowns in the win.

“You want to punch teams in the mouth early, and I think that’s what we did,” Zylstra said. “It kind of set the tone for the rest of the game, and that helped us out a lot.”

Lynnville-Sully never started an offensive drive in its own territory for the rest of the first half.

The final two scores of the half came on a Zylstra 1-yard

plunge and 68-yard interception return by Vander Leest.

The defensive touchdown came after Colfax-Mingo started to get a little momentum offensively.

A Camp 11-yard run and Van Dyke 15-yard scamper gave the Tigerhawks a pair of first downs, but Vander Leest spoiled the momentum when he jumped in front of Hill and sprinted to paydirt untouched.

“We did some nice things.

We didn’t do a lot of them, but we did some nice things,” Lietz said. “They did a nice job blitzing, messing up our

Larson takes advantage of late restart for first Sprint Cup win BROOKLYN, Mich. (AP) — During the last couple laps of his first Sprint Cup victory, Kyle Larson was emotional.

“I think with two to go, I was starting to get choked up,” he said. “We worked really, really hard to Larson get a win, and just haven’t done it. Finally all the hard work by everybody, hundreds of people at our race shop, people who have got me through to the Cup Series, it was all paying off.”

Larson took the lead on a restart with nine laps remaining and held off Chase Elliott at Michigan International Speedway on Sunday in a duel between two of NASCAR’s up-and-coming standouts.

Elliott had a comfortable lead before a tire problem on Michael Annett’s car brought out the yellow flag.

Larson had the better restart and went on to win by 1.48 seconds. Brad Keselowski finished third.

Larson’s victory in his No. 42 Chevrolet snapped a 99race losing streak for Chip Ganassi Racing dating to Jamie McMurray’s victory at Talladega in 2013.

Larson secured a spot in

the Chase for the Sprint Cup with two races left in the regular season. Elliott remains winless, but is in solid shape to make the Chase field on points if need be.

It was the 99th career start for the 24-year-old Larson, who had 14 top-five finishes before Sunday but hadn’t won at the Cup level.

The 20-year-old Elliott is winless in 29 starts, but this was an impressive showing for him after eight consecutive races outside the top 10.

Twelve drivers have wrapped up Chase berths.

Tony Stewart, who has a victory, has clinched a top-30 finish in points to secure his spot.

Rahal makes last-lap pass to win IndyCar race at Texas FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) — Graham Rahal lifted his arm over his head just as he reached the finish line at Texas Motor Speedway, then glanced to his right to make sure he had won the race.

After a lastlap pass of Rahal James Hinchcliffe, Rahal did indeed hold on to win Saturday night in the closest finish ever for an IndyCar race at the high-banked, 1 1/2-mile oval.

“When I got to the stripe, I started to raise my arm and

then I was like make sure,” said Rahal, who saw the No. 2 on the LED panel of Hinchcliffe’s car signifying his place in the race. “I knew it was going to be close.”

The only time Rahal led the race — competed over a 2 1/2-month span — was when he sliced to the bottom of the track coming off of the backstretch on that final lap. He won by eight-thousandths (0.008) of a second, crossing the line only inches and sideby-side with Hinchcliffe, with Tony Kanaan right behind them.

Hinchcliffe had led the Firestone 600 for 76 days. He was leading when the race was initially red-flagged June 12 because of rain after only

71 of 248 laps, and dominated after it resumed until three late restarts.

Hinchcliffe led 188 laps overall in the race, including 157 of the 177 laps run Saturday night.

Series points leader Simon Pagenaud was fourth, and extended his lead to from 20 to 28 points over Team Penske teammate Will Power with two races left.

Power, who won four of the previous six races with runner-up finishes in the other two, was eighth at Texas.

It was the fifth-closest finish in IndyCar Series history and the closest of any race ever at the Texas track that has hosted NASCAR and IndyCar races since 1997.

line calls and overloading different sides. We struggled to pick that up at first, and that hurt us. Once we figured that out, we started to move the ball. Then the pick six came.

We still have a lot to learn.”

The defensive touchdown made it 27-0, and the Hawks took a 35-0 lead into halftime following Evan Squires’ 4-yard touchdown run. That triggered the continuous clock in the second half.

Eight different players carried the ball for Lynnville-Sully and five different receivers caught a pass. Collins and senior Colten Arment both

scored rushing touchdowns in the second half, while senior Quentin Thompson hauled in a 20-yard touchdown pass from Collins in the fourth quarter.

Zylstra, who rushed for 34 yards on eight carries, had five tackles and a sack on defense, while Kemper Lukehart had a team-high seven tackles. Van Wyk and junior Cory McCoy each had a sack, too.

“The defense is the strength of their team,” Lietz said.

“They sent four guys over the top of three. They played a nice game. We didn’t play as well as I think we can play.

“I just didn’t have anybody step up. Nobody stepped up tonight. It was disappointing.”

C-M’s Van Dyke was 3-for11 for 20 yards in his first varsity start at quarterback.

Camp led the defense with six tackles. Sophomore Holister Koenig and senior Adam Teed had five tackles for the Tigerhawk defense, while senior Wyatt Owens had the Tigerhawks’ second interception.

Lynnville-Sully plays at 7 p.m. Friday against BGM (01) in Brooklyn, while Colfax-Mingo stays on the road to play North Mahaska (0-1) at 7 p.m. Friday in New Sharon.

Astrograph

Emotional stability and maturity may not seem like the most glamourous of qualities, but people of both sexes rate it consistently among the topmost desirable characteristics in a mate. A person who can handle things when the stress levels go up is so attractive.

Venus enters balanced, harmonious Libra to help us raise our emotional IQ.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Aug. 29). This year shows high stakes and a competitive arena. Some would call it “high pressure,” but because you’ve learned to regulate your emotions, you’ll approach with ease. Next month you’ll be generous and make a differ-

ence. Loved ones spoil you in December. You’ll reach meaningful personal milestones in 2017. Libra and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 4, 9, 20, 1 and 15.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

You’ll be called to try your hand at playing the next level.

If you’re overlooked or challenged in the beginning, this is just a sign that you’re going for the right size goal. If it were too easy, you wouldn’t get much out of it.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

Newton football freshmen open season by blanking Ottumwa

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High’s freshmen opened their high school football careers with a win at home Friday. The Cardinals scored 31 points in the first half and it stood for a 31-0 victory over visiting Ottumwa.

“The boys did a good

job to come out with a victory,” Newton freshman head coach Trent Powers said. “We have a lot of room for improvement, and I think we will see that in our next couple of games.”

Newton scored two touchdowns and two two-point conversions in the first quarter to take a 16-0 lead. The

Cardinals tallied two more touchdowns and one two-point conversion for 15 points in the second period.

Logan Cummins rushed for 105 yards on seven carries, scoring a touchdown and two two-point conversions.

Jeremiah Johnson had a rushing touchdown, gaining 41 yards on five

carries for the game.

Dylan Farver scored a touchdown on the ground and had two carries for 17 yards in the game. Dalton Altemeier rushed for 20 yards on two carries and had a two-point conversion.

Jarrett Antle carried the ball seven times for 45 yards. Canaan Terpstra had 31 yards on three

carries.

Newton quarterback Lyle Long was 1-of-2 passing. The completion was a 36-yard touchdown pass to William Cheng.

Cheng helped lead the Cardinal defense with five tackles and broke up a pass. Lane Bach recorded four tackles. Destin Schroder had

three tackles and recovered a fumble. Making three tackles each were Quintail Coley, Altemeier and Camden Winther.

Newton (1-0) hosts Waterloo East at 4:45 p.m. Friday at H. A. Lynn Stadium.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B “We had a lot of energy before the game. I told our guys I wanted everybody to hit hard.

We have to play ruthlessly every single down,” Smith said.

“We had to sustain that energy throughout the game right to the final play. We never let down tonight.”

Norvell broke off a 10-yard run to start the drive to the end zone. On a second-down play, junior quarterback Garrett Sturtz found junior running back Jaron Roush on a pass play. Roush scrambled to the Bulldog 12-yard line.

Two plays later, junior running back Josh Miravalles capped the drive with a 6-yard touchdown run. Zach Combs, a junior, kicked the first of six extra points for the Cardinals for a 7-0 lead at the 2:12 mark of the first quarter.

A third-down pass play from Sturtz to junior Trevor Ergenbright jump started Newton’s second scoring drive to begin the second quarter.

The play picked up 17 yards, putting the Cardinals on Ottumwa’s 30-yard line.

The final 12 yards came on a run by Norvell to the end zone at the 7:21 mark. Combs kicked the extra point.

The Cardinals pushed their way through the Bulldog defense for 81 yards to paydirt, using runs by Roush, Norvell and Miravalles. There were two pass plays on the drive, Sturtz found Ergenbright on a crossing pattern to pick up a first down.

The second pass was a 24yard touchdown throw by Sturtz to Ergenbright, who had gotten past the Bulldog defender. With Combs’ kick, Newton led 21-0 with less than two minutes remaining in the first half.

“This game had a lot of emotion and passion in it,” Miller said. “We just pounded the ball all night. We were really working hard and staying on our blocks.”

Ottumwa fumbled the second-half kickoff and Newton recovered the ball at the Bulldogs’ 19-yard line. Roush scored from 6-yards out at the 9:41 mark.

Ottumwa averted a shutout when running back Nik Batterson got loose for an 80yard touchdown run two plays following the ensuing kickoff.

The Bulldogs’ extra-point kick failed, leaving it 28-6.

Newton answered with a 62-yard drive for a touchdown

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior captains Brady Smith (45), Alex Miller (63), Caden Manning (53) and Josh Gulling (3) carry the No. 52 jersey to the middle of the field for Friday night’s coin flip in memory of the late senior lineman Trenton Brady. Brady died in June in a car accident.

— a 10-yard run by Norvell.

The Cardinals were up 35-6 heading into the fourth quarter. Norvell finished with 77 yards on nine carries. Roush had 54 yards on 13 carries.

“I was trying to find the open field as my teammates blocked, then I was running as fast as I could to score the touchdowns,” Norvell said.

Newton’s defense continued to overwhelm the Bulldog offense. Ottumwa ended up with 123 yards of total offense.

The Bulldogs had 81 yards on 24 carries on the ground. Batterson had 98 yards rushing and 80 came on the one run.

“This win means so much, after only winning one game last year, to start this season with a win at home,” Josh Gulling said.

“We seniors took the leadership roles of making sure everybody

was in the weight room every day this summer. This gives us so much confidence. We’re all in this together.”

On the third play of the fourth quarter, Combs intercepted a Bulldog pass, allowing the Cardinals to start their final scoring threat at the Ottumwa 32-yard line. Smith and senior linebacker Reese Rosenquist took over in the backfield on offense.

Smith, who led the Newton defense with four solo tackles and three assisted tackles, had a 10-yard touchdown run with 8:34 remaining in the game, and Combs’ kick made it 42-6. Newton had another scoring opportunity when Ottumwa fumbled the ensuing kickoff. The Cardinals were at the Bulldogs’ 19-yard line, but did not score.

“We just keep working hard. We work harder than we did on the last play tonight in practice on Monday and build from there,” Smith said.

Rosenquist recorded three solo tackles and three assisted tackles. Rosenquist and Smith had back-to-back quarterback sacks in the fourth quarter. Jaise Gulling had two solos, two assisted tackles and a quarterback sack. The two Bulldog fumbles were recovered by Newton’s Joe Busch and Grayson Graham.

Ergenbright said he was pleased with how his team started the season. He said it was a good place to start as the Cardinals move forward in the season.

“We have to get more physical, but we responded well to things tonight,” Ergenbright said. “These guys have been

really focused since the beginning of the season. I saw a lot enthusiasm and a lot of kids having fun playing football tonight, which is what we’re trying to achieve.”

The Cardinals host Waterloo East, which lost 41-6 to Des Moines North Friday. Kickoff for the varsity game is 7:30 p.m. at H.A. Lynn Stadium.
