Elderly Colfax woman found in Missouri

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A 76-year-old Colfax woman has been found after a lengthy search reaching into bordering states. Karen Schlosser was found in Rockport, Mo. at 10:30 p.m.

Thursday after she was last seen that morning in Sully.

Schlosser

Schlosser was last seen at 9:30 a.m. driving a white Dodge pickup. She suffers from Aphasia, which may have caused difficulty in

her communicating with people she came into contact with. She also did not have a cellphone with her.

The Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office first requested the public’s assistance in locating her through their Facebook page at about 4 p.m. The Iowa State Patrol joined in the search with aircraft and

first responders were searching on ground. At approximately 8 p.m. the search expanded to neighboring states.

Local citizens in Rockport assisted Schlosser in calling her family and local law enforcement officers made contact with her and reunited her with her family. She was reported to be in good

Newton officer pleads not guilty in domestic abuse arrest Hamell remains on paid leave

By Abigail Pelzer Newton Daily News A Newton Police officer remains on paid leave following a July 29 domestic assault arrest.

Dustin S. Hamell, 29, is accused of physically assaulting his fianHammell cée, with whom he has a child, during an altercation in their rural

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Twenty-three-month-old Raylynn Mecum, daughter of Seth Good, enjoys a hot dog in the arms of her grandfather, Alan Good, at Thursday’s Thanks With Franks event. The event, put on by the Young Professionals of Jasper County, has been a chance for the business appreciation and charity fundraising since 2005.

Park Centre takes home ‘biggest wiener’ award

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Cream cheese probably wouldn’t make it onto Family Feud if 100 people were surveyed about common hot-dog toppings.

However, that’s one of the ingredients the team from Park Centre retirement community used in its hot dogs at Thursday’s Thanks With Franks event in the Jasper County Courthouse square. Park Centre won the “biggest wiener” trophy after its hot-dog toppings were voted as the fan favorites on write-in votes by the public who attended.

The Young Professionals of

Jasper County have put on the business appreciation and charity event since 2005, and Park Centre’s unique concoction was merely the latest in series of hotdog innovations that has lasted a decade.

In addition to cream cheese, Park Centre’s allotment of 200 hot dogs also featured bacon, scrambled eggs, cheddar cheese and hash browns.

Accepting the trophy from YPJC President Danielle Rogers were Jennifer Flake, Jourdan Flake and Emily Baker of Park Centre.

Proceeds from the event, which featured 43 booth entries this year, go to charity. Berg

Middle School students, raising funds for an upcoming trip to Washington, D.C., and the Red Pride Club manned the drinks booth, which sold soda and water for $1 each.

Rogers said she was pleased with the turnout, especially considering it was an extremely warm day. Moving the start time of the event back from 5 p.m. to p.m. allowed more area residents to attend, she said.

“It also allowed businesses longer to get set up,” Rogers said. “We were hoping the heat wouldn’t keep people away. It looks like we had a great turnout.”

Construction begins on pocket park

“The city covered the

cost of the paving, since they were able to lump the relatively small job in with a larger contract,” Newton Main Street Executive Director Andrew Bassman said.

The sidewalk portion was part of a larger sidewalk package that was approved in the city’s annual budget on March 2. After the sidewalk is installed, additional items such as plants and trees will be put into place. Amenities, including lighting and benches, will follow PARK | 7A

Hometown Pride program outlines Newton-specific goals Five-year program funded by Keep Iowa Beautiful

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News If you’ve never been to Newton’s Thirty Acre Park, you probably know someone else who hasn’t been there, either.

The park might be considered one of many of Jasper County’s under-utilized places, and a recently formed coa-

lition is taking on the task of getting more out of certain areas in seven county communities and helping beautify selected spots.

The Hometown Pride program is a sort of coalition of community civic planners, and it’s a statewide program funded

by Keep Iowa Beautiful, and the program started to pick up steam in terms of articulating places and projects to be addressed in the five-year program.

Jeff Davidson was

brought in after a long career in Iowa City to be the Jasper County “coach” for Hometown Pride. It was important to hire a coach that had no connections to the area, yet also a person with a background in grant writing, locating sources of funding and understanding how urban planning works.

“Newton is not only the biggest city in the county, and it’s a new REWARDS | 3A

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Newton’s Thirty Acre Park is one of the Jasper County’s Hometown Pride program areas of interest. The Newton park, along with several other parks, roadways and other spaces, are targets for their five-year program, which got under way late last year.

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When Newton High School junior Emily Bollhoefer returned from the AgDiscovery program at Iowa State University this summer, she had been taught how to take a blood sample from a chicken.

That’s one of thousands of items covered at the twoweek camp, held at the ISU campus and other Iowa farm sites from July 19 to Aug. 1. The sixth annual AgDiscovery camps, sponsored by the USDA, were held at 17 universities, and Bollhoefer was one of only 18 American high school agriculture students selected for the program from a list of 77 nationwide applicants for the ISU program.

“We covered so much stuff,” Bollhoefer said. “It was great to get know everyone, and find out where we had common interests within ag.”

Bollhoefer and NHS ag advisor James Horn had to hurriedly prepare the application and recommendation materials in the spring, so she had no idea what her chances were of being selected. She said ISU is still working on getting the word out about the program, as many advisors don’t seem to be aware of the opportunity.

The outreach program, which allowed students to stay in Eaton Hall on ISU’s campus, is designed to help high school students learn about careers in plant and

animal science and wildlife management.

There were students from 12 different states in the program. Not only did Bollhoefer have to commute far less than most of the 18 students, who flew in from as far away as Miami, Florida, but also made her a sort of resident tour guide, familiar with many of the counties and farms the group toured.

The group was kept busy most of the time, rising early and taking two vans to farm sites throughout northern and central Iowa.

One of the stops was C & M Acres Alpaca Farm in Maxwell. Dealing with llamas and alpacas isn’t easy, and Bollhoefer said the photo she had taken with a llama was on the same day as one spit on her.

The group participated in a swine necropsy — basically a dissection of a

baby pig that died during or shortly after birth. There were also stops at One Heart Equestrian Therapy, where students learned how much horses love to run, along with the ISU Dairy Farm and an animal rescue league.

There was even a trip to a Jasper County locale: the Neal Smith Wildlife Refuge near Prairie City, where the group was unsuccessful in spotting any of the wellknown buffalo on the day of their drive-through.

The program covered lessons in anatomy, bacteriology, hematology, parasitology, immunology, embryology, animal necropsies, epidemiology and other veterinary diagnostic procedures, with a focus on the connections between plant and animal life and their ecosystems.

Another purpose of the program is to help high-

school students decide between areas of concentration if they plan on pursuing an ag degree in college. Bollhoeffer said the camp helped her determine she’d like to specialize in small animals and exotic animals.

She also said she enjoyed meeting ag students from different parts of the U.S. “My roommate was from Arizona,” Bollhoefer said. “She said she thought it was kind of cold here.”

Local News Rewards Continued from Page 1A type of territory for Hometown Pride,” Davidson said. “By population, it’s not only the biggest city in the program, it’s bigger than any county in the program. But I have no stake in any of the communities here; I just want to try and help point out the steps that need to take place to make things happen.”

Natalie Umsted is a management analyst for the City of Newton, and she’s also the chair of the county team’s steering committee. She said not only does Hometown Pride have the advantage of working with people who were already working toward similar goals with government or non-profit organizations, but the committee has also recently been able to come up with goals of its own.

Umsted said the First Avenue corridor, parks and downtown housing are the priority areas for the Newton committee, which is a committee within Hometown Pride.

“We have a long list of downtown goals,” Umsted said. “Keep Iowa Beautiful is focused on beautification, so there are many things we can do in the parks and along First Avenue.”

Hometown Pride must work toward goals that don’t conflict with the missions, goals or restrictions of the City of Newton or other entities, such as Newton Main Street,

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Sept. 4, 2015 | 3A

the Downtown Historical District, the Newton Historic Preservation Commission and others.

Umsted said possible projects discussed at recent meetings include a “multi-generational” park within Sunset Park, located near Skiff Medical Center. She also mentioned further development of Thirty Acre Park, located east of Newton KOA and between S. 13th Ave. E. and Interstate 80, which is currently an area of wild brush with a mowed trail running through the center.

There is a program involving University of Iowa urban planning students that could be used for parks, if the right grant is obtained, Umsted said.

The Newton committee for Hometown Pride is headed by realtor Bruce Showalter, and also features other longtime Newton residents, such as fine arts advocate Terri Ayres and Dairy Queen franchise owner Bob O’Brien.

Showalter said a big key, on the parks side, is to help keep every park somewhat unique, so that each one gets a close-toequal amount of use. Like Umsted, he also brought up Thirty Acre Park, and said a mountain-bike trail have been discussed as ideas.

He also said it would be a great help for Newton to establish more one-of-a-kind items that can’t be found in other cities in the area.

“For a long time, the Maytag Park pool made

it pretty unique,” Showalter said. “Now, some other cities around have built their own pools, and caught up. We need something like a water-fountain play park attached to that pool, that will help set Newton apart.”

Umsted, Showalter and Davidson all mentioned both the Maytag Hotel and the former Maytag offices when discussing downtown projects. While Hometown Pride might not necessarily be directly involved in a plan or finding funding for any major projects with those buildings, getting more people to live downtown is a priority of the committee.

Umsted said having Davidson, who spent 34 years working for the Iowa City government before he was hired in March to coach the Jasper County team, has been an essential move. Not only does he have many contacts and knowledge about grants and grant writing, but his energy also has an impact.

“Jeff has been a great fit for us,” Umsted said.

“He brings in new ideas, helps us move forward, and sees Jasper County as a great place to be — and he’s so enthusiastic.”

A daughter’s love

By Pam Rodgers Associate Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Sept. 4, 2015

“Oh Susannah! Oh don’t you cry for me. For I come from Alabama with a banjo on my knee.”

It’s strange the memories that stay with us. I can’t remember how it started or why, but every night when I was a young child, my father would sing my sister and I to sleep with the that old Western tune.

I remember not being able to sleep until I had heard the last lines of “Oh! Susannah.”

I haven’t ever thought to ask why dad chose that song, and the reasons aren’t important.

Because now whenever I hear that song, all I hear is my dad’s voice at my bedside. It was years ago and yet in my mind’s eye it seems like yesterday. I can still hear it, and I pray that I always will.

I have been fortunate in my life to have a father who will do anything for me — for his

entire family, for that matter. I trust his advice in all things and appreciate his continued love and support as I navigate this thing called life.

He is not a perfect man, but he is a caring one. He’s one of most stubborn people I know; and at the same time, I haven’t met a man as sensitive as he. I can never fault him for his passion for life and his family.

My siblings and I aren’t the only ones to see his passion at work. He was a dedicated educator and coach for 31 years.

He was a high school special education teacher — a job not everyone could handle. He took pride in helping the students who needed it the most and did everything he could to help them succeed.

Even in his retirement, he continues to be connected to the teaching world as a substitute. He has done everything

from elementary PE to high school biology. He doesn’t know how to do anything at half speed. It may not be his class on a daily basis but he will give his all while he’s there.

Coaching is one of his biggest loves. Many times he’s decided to stop, but then another opportunity crosses his path.

He now coaches junior high volleyball and junior high boys track. Like all other things, he gives it his all. He will tell me, in detail, how the girls did at their games; or how the boys ran at the meet. He sees potential in every single kid, and he will work with them to succeed.

I can’t fully comprehend the impact he has had on others.

He has been stopped by former students and players more times than I can count, and they will tell me how much he still means to them. I know exactly what they mean. He’s

my dad.

My father turns 60 this month. While it’s been a long time since I needed to have him sing me to sleep, I want him to know I still remember what it sounded like as I drifted off into slumberland.

Sometimes on nights I can’t fall asleep, I wish I had a recording of it to help clear my mind of the problems of adulthood and transport me back to the innocence of youth.

One of his catchphrases is “I wouldn’t trade you for anybody or anything in the whole world.” The same could be said for me. Thank you, dad, for everything you have taught me and continue to teach me.

I hope you have a very special birthday.

Trump’s no outlier

Participation is school board election is important It is an exciting time to live in Iowa. Presidential hopefuls are pouring into our state, encouraging us to support them, and the values they will take to Washington, D.C. It is simple enough for us to get wrapped up in the splash and celebrity that comes with national campaignBy Sheri ing.

Benson Did you know, however, that Tuesday, Sept. 8 is Iowa school board Election Day? Did you know that on average less than 1 percent of Newton voters go to the polls to let their voices be heard with regard to electing these district officials? Did you know that school boards function as a representative form of government? Did you know that a sitting board may serve in a legislative, executive or judicial capacity when it convenes? Did you know that Iowa is one of the few remaining states whose school board members are not paid anything to serve in their position, not even a meeting stipend? Have you ever considered that this elected position makes decisions far more impactful on our daily lives than the national figures, who campaign hard for our votes?

The local school board, along with the city council and the county supervisor board, is comprised of our friends and neighbors. Decisions made at their tables or in their cham-

bers affect not only “us,” but also “them.” Thus, it is important to support those individuals through our vote. Taking the time to vote for candidates is one of the best ways to demonstrate support for this representative position. Larger voter turnout also ensures that a larger public voice is being expressed with regard to electing our school leaders.

Being able to choose our leaders is a fundamental piece of our American Democratic Republic. Under this governmental structure it is the elected leaders who make the ultimate decisions for our systems of organization … for better or worse. In the case of a school district, we want to choose leaders who have either already demonstrated the capacity or potential to think broadly about public education.

The elected official is our representative at the table, and also the representative for many other individuals with interests that may differ from our own.

The democratic side of school leadership occurs at the board table. It is in this place that members must vote publicly by roll call on agenda items. Execution of an agenda item is determined by the majority vote of the board. Power and authority to take action rests in the entirety of the board and not with a single individual or faction.

At times, debate and discussion among the members can be lively. The public is always encouraged to view the board at work, but just as with state or federal legislative bodies,

the public may not engage with the debate occurring at the table. This can be frustrating as a member of the public, but it is the heart of our American form of government locally executed.

Thus, voting is where it all begins. Let’s make going to the polls for the upcoming Sept. 8 school board election a priority. Four fine candidates (in my opinion) are vying to fill three open seats for the 2015-2019 term. These individuals, two of whom are incumbents and two are new candidates, should enter into office with a strong resounding vote from our community, rather than a lukewarm, it doesn’t matter voter turnout.

It does matter. These representatives will decide for us what our children will learn, how they will learn and even how we can best financially support a free public education in Newton. We would like the power and control of our schools to remain local. Going to the polls and voting in school board elections is one of the best ways we can demonstrate our support.

Polls are open from noon to 8 p.m. at the Jasper County Community Center, 2401 First Ave. E. If you work out of town, go when you return. Absentee balloting in the county assessor’s office is also available through the end of the day Friday. Be part of the movement. Support our schools and the children served by them. Vote for school board members. See you at the polls.

Sheri Benson is the Board President for the Newton Community School District.

When it comes to the way he treats workers, the Donald is as Republican as capital gains and Richard Nixon.

There are those w h o would h a v e you believe that Donald T r u m p By Donald Kaul is an aberration among Republican presidential contenders — the black sheep uncle who shows up half-drunk at family gatherings, insults the guests, scandalizes the women, and otherwise brings dishonor to the clan.

Don’t believe them.

Trump is as Republican as capital gains and Richard Nixon.

You might even say that Trump’s the quintessential Republican politician — he’s just willing to say out loud what the rest say only in private.

Think Mitt Romney and his infamous “47 percent” remarks, which Romney intended for a fat-cat Republican audience only.

Trump was at it again the other week with a plan for making Detroit’s auto companies more competitive. He would have them pull their manufacturing jobs from the relatively high-paying plants of the north and move them south — to Tennessee, say — where employees are willing to work for less.

Once Detroit workers have learned their lesson and are desperate for jobs, his plan continues, he would offer to move the factories back and pay lower wages than even Tennesseans are willing to accept.

Can there be a more Republican plan than that? Pit workers against each other, driving wages down and profits up. It’s called the free enterprise system.

Republicans know that catechism well, but they don’t talk about it in public. They talk about freeing workers from the tyranny of unions and allowing them to negotiate their wages on their own — as Adam Smith and

God intended them to.

Give them this: The Republicans have done a brilliant job of selling that nonsense to the American public. Even famously labor-friendly Michigan is now a so-called right-to-work state. It’s as though the Vatican became Presbyterian.

Without the countervailing force of unions, corporations are free to run roughshod over the hard-won economic and political gains made by the working classes over the past 100 years.

Michigan, once one of the most progressive states in the union, is now ruled by free-enterprise Republicans.

And it can no longer repair its roads, support its schools, or keep its parks open.

Do you want better roads? Then, these Republicans say, you must pay for them by cutting Social Security, health care, and pensions — not to mention wages.

That death of the American middle class has occurred in parallel with the decline of unions in this country.

That’s no coincidence.

The labor movement was behind virtually every progressive advance of the 20th century. The 40-hour work week, pensions, paid vacations, sick leave, safety rules, employer-paid health insurance, and the banning of child labor — all these bore the union label to one degree or another.

In a sense it was the labor movement that created the middle class in this country.

Then the powers that be convinced a good share of the American people that they’re consumers rather than workers — and unions are bad for consumers. Hardwon labor rights, according to this mindset, make things more expensive.

But they also make it possible for ordinary working-class Americans to live a comfortable life, take vacations, and send their kids to college.

At least that’s what they used to do. I fear those days are gone forever.

The Republicans will have to get rid of Trump, of course.

FAMILY CIRCUS

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Sept. 4, 2015

Mom’s motives for marriage are questioned by older man DEAR ABBY: I am a 63-year-old man living with a 28-year-old woman. She has three children — ages 2, 6 and 7. They live with us every other weekend. I have fallen in love with them. We are planning on getting married soon, and I want to be sure the kids are secure when I’m gone.

I have an erectile dysfunction problem. She says she doesn’t care about sex, but I’m worried she will stray. I was 28 once, and that’s all I thought about. I’m afraid she is marrying me for her own benefit — the house, Social Security and my business.

I love her and her children dearly.

She says she loves me, but I’m just not sure. Can you help me figure out what to do? — TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE? DEAR TOO GOOD: If you have ANY doubts about marrying this woman, then you shouldn’t do it.

However, if you do decide to marry her, first discuss this with your legal adviser and be sure you have an ironclad prenuptial agreement.

As to providing for her little ones in the event of your demise, discuss that with a lawyer who specializes in wills and trusts and who can advise you about the best way to leave money/ assets in trust for them after they have reached a certain age — so the money can’t be dissipated prematurely.

DEAR ABBY: Our parents have been dead for 25 years. Along the way, we have also lost sisters, nieces and cousins. Every year when we gather for a family reunion, part of it is a candle lighting and spoken remembrance of those loved ones we have lost. Some in my family get teary-eyed or cry.

My husband refuses to attend my family reunions because of this. He says my relatives have issues and need to see a mental health professional.

He makes fun of us and the way we are together. I have a large family with

many offspring. Do you agree we are “crazy” for the remembrance and the tears? — LOVES MY FAMILY IN GEORGIA DEAR LOVES: No, I do not.

During a ceremony such as you have described, tears can be a healthy display of emotion. However, I do think your husband’s comments are insensitive and judgmental, and he’s doing the right thing for everyone by staying away. Feeling as he does, far away is where he belongs.

DEAR ABBY: My wife, who is a Realtor, is upset because a couple of our best friends listed their home with someone else. My wife feels they should have had the decency to at least notify her that they were going to give the listing to another Realtor.

My wife had sold them their home a few years ago. Your thoughts, please?

— MIFFED IN MIAMI DEAR MIFFED: No law says this couple was obligated to have your wife represent them. I suspect that they didn’t inform your wife because they wanted to avoid an uncomfortable conversation. If she would like to know the reason they listed their home with someone else, she should ask them. It’s possible the other Realtor offered services beyond what your wife does.

1 Ottumwa murder trial delayed

4 Iowa sheriff says he deserved ticket issued after collision

until November

OTTUMWA — A murder trial has been delayed for a 31-year-old man accused of fatally beating another man outside a bar in Ottumwa.

The trial is scheduled to begin Nov. 3 for Kendrick Jackson. It had been set to begin Oct. 6. Jackson is accused of beating Maekele Hagos outside The Elbow Room on Sept. 7 last year. Authorities say Hagos died later at a hospital in Iowa City. Jackson’s attorneys have filed notice that they intend to argue that he acted in self-defense.

BURLINGTON — An eastern Iowa sheriff says he’s to blame for a collision between his unmarked vehicle and a pickup on an access road to a firing range. The Hawk Eye reports that the accident occurred Aug. 26 at the Big Hollow Recreation Area. Des Moines County Sheriff Mike Johnstone says his sport utility vehicle hit an oncoming pickup on a sharp bend of the road when he looked away at something in a camping area. Johnstone told the newspaper that the accident “was clearly my fault, and I deserved to be ticketed.”

The data collected by the engineers on Wednesday will be used to create computer models and maps that’ll show homeowners and business owners what land likely will flood at a variety of river levels, The Daily Nonpareil reported. They also can help emergency management agencies in determining the need for road closures and evacuations.

The collision on Aug. 2, 2014, at an intersection near Epworth killed Sean Kenneally, Mitchell Kluesner, Nicholas Kramer and Bryce Wilwert.

Improvements to police memorial proposed

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Several items are proposed for purchase from the city’s ending fund balance including landscaping for the police memorial located outside of the police station.

This year, $132,000 is available for use on onetime expenditures that were previously a part of the budget discussion.

The city is required to maintain a 25 percent ending fund balance in the general fund. Any amount more than the required 25 percent is then available to be used for one-time purchases.

“It is available to spend without any harm to our budgets,” Director of Finance and Development Bryan Friedman said.

The landscaping at the police memorial will cost $20,000 and include a flag pole, landscaping and signage.

The police officers had purchased a flag

pole wanting to do some work out here where the memorial is,” City Administrator Bob Knabel said. “There is a desire to kind of set that aside similar to what we have at the fire department.”

Also on the list for the police department at two in-car computers for $17,000, a copy machine for $7,000 and carpeting and painting of the police station budgeted at $25,000.

Knabel said that he spoke with Police Chief Rob Burdes who said that it would be not necessary to purchase any new vehicles for the department this year.

“After talking with Police Chief Rob Burdess, they believe their vehicles are of such mileage that they can go another year,” Knabel said.

Council Member Craig Trotter asked if there was any trade-in value for replacing them prior to them topping out on mileage. Knabel

said yes but the care are typically re-purposed to the fire department or another city entity, having value that way.

Other projects to be paid for from the ending fund balance include the third and final phase of updating the council chamber’s audio and video system for $24,500, a public works trailer to be used by the cemetery and parks divisions to transport the mini excavator and other equipment for $7,000 and fire and medical equipment for $26,000.

The equipment includes turnout gear for $7,800, a pressure washer at $7,200, SCBA equipment for $6,500 and a fire hose for $4,500.

The City Council Finance Committee approved the list to be brought before the full council at a future meeting.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Work began on the pedestrian path and pocket park that is set to link the downtown with the Newton Public Library. The project is a collaboration by Newton Main Street and the city.

Park Continued from Page 1A after the city receives the final downtown design guidelines in the coming weeks.

“Main Street has set aside funds for benches, but has recently been alerted to a couple of potential donors. We would wait until the streetscape master plan is completed to buy the benches to make sure they fit with the design of the rest of the street furniture recommended by the project consultants for the downtown,”

Bassman said.

The remodel of the space, located behind Uncle Nancy’s and Aleya, is a combined effort between Newton Main Street and the City of Newton. The area will make a new, visually pleasing way to get to and from important city attractions.

“It’s a great example of a project that the city and Main Street have collaborated on. It is something that we can point to as an immediate success with Main Street and is going to be a great opportunity to connect the library

to the downtown,” Director of Planning and Zoning Erin Chambers said. “As we grow housing in the downtown area and want to promote second-story living, pedestrian connections to all of our facilities is something that we want to see happen.”

The project was designed by Main Street Design Committee members Terri Swank and Marilyn Terlouw. It is expected to be completed early this month.

Classic film coming to life on stage at Des Moines Performing Arts Center ‘Dirty Dancing – The Classic Story on Stage’ opens Sept. 15

By Jessica Lowe Special to Daily News

mance between her and the sensuous dance instructor, Johnny Castle.

Margot White, who portrays Baby’s mom Marjorie Houseman, said she — like many young people -identified with the coming of age story in the film, and believes that is why it has been such a beloved movie and has had so much success on stage.

“Coming of age is such a recognizable story line,” said White, who joined the national tour in June. “When the movie came out, I was a teenager who had just moved from Illinois to New Hampshire, so I was feeling very Baby-esque. I was out of my element and trying to figure out who I was becoming. The movie was terrific. I loved the

The classic quotes — “Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” The dance moves. The music — “I had the time of my life.”

The watermelons. The 1987 iconic coming-ofage film will be coming to Des Moines Civic Center on Sept. 15.

“Dirty Dancing — The Classic Story on Stage” will bring to life on stage the story of 17-year-old France “Baby” Houseman while on vacation with her family in the Catskills.

Set in the summer of 1963, the film follows Baby’s desire to fit in with the resort staff, her struggle to please her family while trying to find her independence, and the budding ro-

idea that it was about dancing, because dancing was near and dear to me. And it shared the story of a young girl finding her own story and her own womanhood. Really appreciated that as a young woman, as do most who identify with the story.”

While White could identify with Baby from the beloved ‘80s film, she was unsure about being a part of the stage production that has circled the globe.

“I was in New Orleans with some girl friends when I got the call to audition. I hadn’t auditioned for a musical in 20 years so I thought I’d probably turn it down. I asked them ‘Should I do it?’ and all three simultaneously said ‘YES!’” White said. “It sounded really intimidating at first … Now, I’m just so thankful and excited to have this opportunity.”

Like Baby — her on stage daughter, White did not have long to learn the steps for her new part. The TV and stage actress had just a few weeks to learn her role as Mrs. Houseman and join her new cast mates in Dallas, Texas.

The first night she sat in the audience to view the play, White said, she knew she made the right decision.

“That first night was just a gift,” she said. “It was immediate why people love this production.

Just to experience alongside the audience their reaction to the dancing and the music. There is such talent on that stage.

I had never been in a production before where the audience was so engaged and so responsive.

It is wonderful to be a part of that now.”

While the musical has a few show-stopping numbers — “Do You Love Me?” “In the Still of the Night” and “You Don’t Own Me” — White credits the audiences’ response with the stage version delving deeper into the lives of the Houseman family, and Johnny and Baby’s budding relationship, and of course.

“The lovely thing about the production is Eleanor (Bergstein) has taken it a step deeper,” White said of Bergstein, who served as screenwriter for the film and the production’s book.

“I’m proud to be a part of a production that is such a pleasure to watch and enhances a beloved story.”

White and the rest of the cast will take the stage 7:30 p.m. Sept. 1518, 2 and 7:30 p.m. Sept.

Sept. 20. Tickets for the latest installment of the Willis Broadway series are available starting at $35 each at DesMoinesPerforming Arts.org, the Civic Center Ticket office or by calling (800) 745-3000.

“People are coming in knowing the movie; but they leave feeling like they were a part of something they love because of the amazing choreography, the dance scenes, the talent of the cast, and of course, the music,” White said.

Aquagirls stay undefeated in home waters

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Protect This House is the rallying cry for Newton High School athletics in 2015.

There’s no team better in protecting its home pool advantage than the Newton/ Colfax-Mingo/Pella Aquagirls. In their second meet at Newton’s YMCA, the Aquagirls posted dual wins over visiting Grinnell and Indianola to move their dual meet mark to 3-0 on the young season.

Overall, the Aquagirls won six of the 11 events in varsity competition. NCMP won all three relay races — 200-meter medley, 200 freestyle and the 400 freestyle — on its way to defeating both Indianola and Grinnell.

The Aquagirls were six of 11 against Indianola, but their depth proved too much for the Indians. NCMP beat In-

dianola, 57-37, in their dual.

Matching up with Grinnell’s Tigers, the Aquagirls won 10 races, going 1-2 in nine of those events. Indianola defeated Grinnell, 70-24.

NCMP’s junior varsity swept its dual meet competition. NCMP beat Indianola, 66-26, and Grinnell, 83-3, while Indianola’s junior var-

sity defeated Grinnell, 58-5.

“This was a good meet tonight. We knew Grinnell and Indianola were smaller teams, but we still had to work hard in the water,” NCMP senior Kaelee Knoll said following the competition. “We did really well tonight as a team.”

Two of four oldest NCMP home meet school records

were lowered Thursday night.

Senior Samantha Hedrick has booked four individual event records in the two home meets. NCMP has two sets of school records — one in meters for its home pool and one in yards for other pools including state competitions.

Cardinals end ADM Invitational on a victory

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News ADEL — Newton High’s Cardinals could have packed it up and folded Thursday at the Adel-DeSoto-Minburn Invitational volleyball tournament. They had a 1-3 record so far in the event, and just lost the first set to Perry in their final match of the night.

The Cardinals had been competitive all night, even against Class 4A’s No. 13 and 14 ranked teams in back-toback matches. They could have but didn’t fold.

Newton rallied to win the second set against Perry, 2115. They went to the deciding third set and recorded a victory, beating Perry 18-21, 21-15, 15-11.

Junior Megan Pressgrove was perfect — 13-of-13 — at the service line with one ace for the Cardinals. Fran Lucas, senior libero, was 9-of-10 with one service ace.

Senior Emily Fitzgerald had two service aces in the match with Perry.

Lucas came up with 12 digs defensively. Junior Taylor Shipley and sophomore

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior libero Fran Lucas digs the ball during a home match earlier this season. Lucas had 42 digs in Newton’s five matches Thursday in the ADM Invitational at Adel.

Carter Lee each had three digs while Pressgrove and junior Kaytlin Ahn had two digs apiece.

Ahn led the net attack against Perry with nine kills followed by Pressgrove’s seven kills. Pressgrove was credited with nine set assists and Shipley made seven set assists. Allison Ergenbright, a senior, had a set assist.

Fitzgerald, Shipley and junior Morgan Allen had one kill each. Fitzgerald had a solo block.

“The girls played hard tonight,” Newton assistant coach Taylor Peska said.

“They worked well together, communicated, and kept positive sports and energy though out the night.”

Newton finished 2-3 in the ADM Invitational, which put the Cardinals’ record at 4-6 for the season. The Cardinals open Little Hawkeye Conference play Tuesday at home against Pella Christian. The junior varsity and freshman teams play at 5:30 p.m., and the varsity match is at 7:15 p.m. at NHS. CARDINALS | 2B

Brady’s four-game NFL suspension erased by judge’s decision NEW YORK (AP) — A federal judge let the air out of “Deflategate” Thursday, erasing New England quarterback Tom Brady’s four-game suspension for a controversy the NFL claimed threatened football’s integrity.

U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman criticized NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for dispensing “his own brand of industrial justice.”

Berman said Goodell went too far in affirming punishment of the Super Bowl winning quarterback. Brady has insisted he played no role in a conspiracy to deflate foot-

balls below the allowable limit at last season’s AFC championship game.

The suspension was “premised upon several significant leBrady gal deficiencies” including the failure to notify Brady of potential penalties, Berman wrote in his opinion, noting that an arbitrator’s factual findings are generally not open to judicial challenge.

“Because there was no notice of a four-game suspension in the circumstances presented here, Commissioner Goodell may be said to have ‘dispensed his own brand of industrial justice,’” Berman wrote, partially citing wording from a previous case.

Berman’s ruling does not necessarily end the dispute.

The league can appeal. Neither side’s top lawyer immediately responded to an email seeking comment.

The judge said Brady had no notice of his possible suspension for general awareness of ball deflation by

others or participation in any scheme to deflate football and for not cooperating with an investigation.

“Brady also had no notice that his discipline would be the equivalent of the discipline imposed upon a player who used performance enhancing drugs,” Berman said.

Brady was also denied equal access to investigative files, including witness interview notes, and didn’t have a chance to examine one of two lead investigators, the judge said.

College football is here; I’m ready It’s here. It’s here.

College football season is finally here. I love football, especially college football. I know most of you are either Iowa State or Iowa fans here. That’s fine — to each their own and be true to your school.

So, you will allow me to be true to my school. Kansas By Jocelyn State’s Bill SnySheets der Stadium in Newton Daily Manhattan will News be filled to the Sports Edtior brim Saturday. I won’t be there. I can’t even catch the season opener on television.

I’ll have to stream the radio broadcast on my computer.

K-State will recognize head coach Bill Snyder’s election into the College Football Hall of Fame before he coaches the Wildcats against South Dakota Saturday evening. Four new Wildcats greats will go on the K-State Football Ring of Honor — Michael Bishop, Jordy Nelson, Clarence Scott and Darren Sproles.

Hey, here’s a note of interest — Coach Snyder announced the Wildcats’ starting quarterback, and he is an Iowa native. Jesse Ertz is a sophomore at K-State and led Mediapolis High School through the Iowa state playoffs, losing in the semifinals in 2012.

Some more information on Ertz — he shattered the Iowa prep record for career touchdown passes with 98, finished fifth in state history with 7,317 yards passing; and he compiled more than 9,000 yards and 130 touchdowns. Ertz redshirted two years ago at KSU and was the third-string quarterback in 2014.

Just to let you know, I was a K-State football fan long, long before it was “cool” to be a K-State football fan. I endured all the nowin, one-win, a few-wins seasons.

I was there from fall of 1974 to 1979, and there weren’t that many wins, but I love my Wildcats.

I’ll have college football on all day Saturday. And we’re one week away from the NFL beginning the 2015 season. Football filled weekends are here.

After Thursday’s NCMP Aquagirls’ swim meet at home, the only Newton High fall sports teams I haven’t seen in action are the cross country runners. It’s tough because all but one of their meets are on the road, so to speak.

Newton’s cross country teams are at Grinnell Tuesday, but alas, the Cardinal volleyball team opens Little Hawkeye Confence action at home against Pella Christian the same night. The Cardinal runners are at Johnston Thursday.

The Cardinals host the Newton Cardinal Invitational Sept.

22 at Westwood Golf Course.

Turning to Newton High football — the Cardinals have their home opener Friday against Marshalltown. Red and Black are the colors of the night engulging H.A. Lynn Stadium.

Cardinal Pride and Protect This House are the themes.

The Cardinals are pushing to notch their first win of 2015 after a close loss on the road to start the season. Marshalltown is coming off a win at Waterloo East in the rain. The Bobcats were 1-8 a year ago and have a new head coach in Don Knock.

It is going to be a hot one Friday night. Players and fans need to stay hydrated.

AndyMurray rallies; advances at US Open NEW YORK (AP) — Before they stepped on court, there was nothing to suggest Andy Murray would have any trouble against Adrian Mannarino in the U.S. Open’s second round.

Murray, after all, is seeded No. 3 and owns two major championships. Mannarino, meanwhile, is ranked 35th, and has never won a tour-level title.

So it certainly came as a surprise when, in ThursMurray day’s opening game, Mannarino broke Murray. About an hour later, Mannarino grabbed theopening set. And 45 minutes after that, the Frenchman took the second set, too.

Murray put together his eighth career comeback from a two-set deficit and beat Mannarino 5-7, 4-6, 6-1, 6-3, 6-1.

Roger Federer had his rhythm from the start, beating Steve Darcis of Belgium 6-1, 6-2, 6-1 at night, before 2014 runner-up Caroline Wozniacki was stunned by 149th-ranked Petra Cetkovska of the Czech Republic 6-4, 5-7, 7-6 (1) in the day’s last match, which ended after midnight.

Aquagirls Continued from Page 1B Hedrick won the shortest and the longest individual freestyle races in the meet. She toppled the team’s 50 freestyle mark, winning in 27.54 seconds. The old record was 27.63 seconds held by Emily Bensink set in 2003.

Later in the meet, Hedrick dominated the 400 freestyle race. She set a school-record pace to win in 4 minutes, 35.45 seconds as Indianola’s Lauren Clingman was second at 4:52.98. The former NCMP mark of 4:40.96 was set by Ellen Colville in 2008.

“I know in my mind the goals I’ve set for myself for the season and for each meet,” Hedrick said. “Before I swim an event, I rehearse it in my head, like knowing how to come out of my turns and things like that.”

Hedrick said the 50 is a race you just go all out in, but the 400 is a race in which you have to be patient and know the pace you want to swim. She said the team does a lot of 400 work in the pool during practices, and she figures out where she needs to be at certain times in that race.

“It was an exciting meet for us and a fun one. We got to see where we’re at, but I had a sense of the girls having a ‘feel sorry for myself ’ attitude in the locker room,” NCMP head coach Sarah Patterson said. “They couldn’t come out and compete like that, and they didn’t. They swam well, worked hard and had fun.”

The Aquagirls opened and closed the meet by winning relay races —

the 200 medley relay and the 400 freestyle relay. They also won the 200 freestyle relay. They went 1-3 in each relay event.

In the 200 medley, the foursome of seniors Sydney Jenkins and Hannah Rhoads, Hedrick and sophomore Alexis Stout claimed first place in 2:08.72. NCMP’s Knoll, freshman Lindsey Blommers, junior Emily Miller and senior Elizabeth Myers took third in 2:17.35.

It was Miller, sophomores Madeline Webb and Jessica Zahn and Rhoads winning the 200 freestyle relay in 2:01.31. The NCMP team of juniors Willa Colville and Taylor Tremmel, sophomore Morgan Altman and senior Sierra Griffith placing third in 2:09.39.

“In the beginning of the meet, I

felt a little off, but as the meet went on I felt better. My times started to reflect that in the later events,” Knoll said.

Putting the finishing touches on the night, Webb, Myers, Jenkins and Hedrick powered through the water to win the 400 freestyle relay in 4:17.20. Stout, junior Sarah Prendergast, Zahn and Miller took third in 4:33.40.

Blommers captured first in the 100 breaststroke for NCMP in 1:22.42 and Griffith was third in 1:24.33.

Rhoads was out-touched by Indianola’s Clingman in the 200 individual medley, 2:37.55 and 2:38.64, respectively. NCMP’s Prendergast was fourth in 2:55.34.

Stout placed second in the 50 freestyle in 29.32 seconds and second in the 100 butterfly in 1:13.81.

Jenkins was second in the 100 freestyle in 1:04.72 with Webb in third at 1:05.13. Jenkins placed second in the 100 backstroke in 1:13.59 and Knoll was third in 1:18.43.

Miller took third in the 100 butterfly in 1:18.95 and Myers was third in the 400 freestyle in 5:22.43.

“We have great team chemistry.

At the beginning of the season, we do a lot of team-building activities.

We’re a diverse group — from seniors to freshmen, homeschooled and several schools — and we come together through the tough practices and meets,” Hedrick said.

Patterson said there were several changes in the varsity lineup Thursday to give the girls variety in events.

She said it was a good way to give some girls a break from swimming the same race each time and allows someone else to see what they can do.

Winning individual events for the NCMP junior varsity were Zahn (200 free, 400 free), Blommers (200 individual medley), Myers (50 free), Colville (100 butterfly), Prendergast (100 backstroke) and Rhoads (100 breaststroke). NCMP won all three junior varsity relays.

There were other NCMP swimmers logging exhibition races in the junior varsity events. In a double dual, only two swimmers per team can swim for points.

“We have a lot of stiff competition ahead of us. The Ames Invitational is the next meet,” Patterson said. “I’m looking forward to it because when you go against the best, you see your flaws. No one likes getting beat, but we see what we need to work on and what we need to do

better.

“Our divers will get to compete for the first time this season and that’s exciting. We embrace competition. We don’t shy away from competing against anybody.”

NCMP heads to Ames Sept. 12 for the Ames Invitational. It is the first of four road meets the Aquagirls compete in until their next home meet Oct. 1 against Atlantic.

“On the road for the younger girls, it’s about having a good warmup, working on the walls,” Knoll said. “We pull together as a team. It may not be our pool, but we can still rock any pool we go to and have a lot of fun at meets.”

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Sept. 4, 2015 | 3B Sports Ferentz finally adapting to change Harbaugh era at Michigan IOWA CITY (AP) — It all seemed so very unlike Kirk Ferentz.

There was the 60-yearold Iowa coach, whose approach to football has often been mocked for being too old-fashioned, teasing new “blackout” uniforms in front of his Hawkeyes as a song by rapper Rick Ross played in the background.

A fashion show during fall camp?

That would seem to be the last thing the Ferentz of old would ever allow.

“We had some sharp young guys think about some stuff and come up with some ideas and did a little unveiling with our players. It was well-received,” Ferentz said.

Ferentz couldn’t help himself from chuckling that he found it “amazing” that anyone would be so interested in new uniforms. Still, it was a sign that Ferentz is trying to adapt to changing times after winning just 34 games in the last five seasons.

“It’s a new era, right? New millennium and all that stuff,” said Ferentz, who will open his 17th season at Iowa on Saturday against Illinois State.

And instead of the new coach many fans were hoping for, Iowa has apparently gotten a new Ferentz.

Ferentz, the nation’s second-longest tenured coach, has spent the last eight months overhauling the program. It began in January, when Ferentz seemingly acceded to the howls of a frustrated fan base by elevating backup quarterback C.J. Beathard over twoyear starter Jake Rudock.

The move came just a week after Tennessee blew Iowa out in a bowl game and was announced in a depth chart released to the media, a first for Ferentz for that time of year.

It was costly, too. Rudock responded by transferring to Michigan.

It was around that time that players and staff members finally moved into the Hansen Football Performance Center, a 76,000-square foot building that, paired with a new indoor field, is as modern as any football facility in the country.

Ferentz and his staff took advantage of the new digs by snagging way more early commitments than they have in the past.

The Hawkeyes currently have their best-ranked recruiting class in about a decade as a result.

Ferentz, who visited with a number of schools in the offseason for new ideas, also switched Iowa’s practices from the afternoon to the morning.

The move has been met with wide approval by the players, who’ve said they’ve felt fresher

Brady Continued from Page 1B The written decision frees Brady to prepare for the Sept.

10 season opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The ruling was a surprise to some legal experts who believed Berman was merely pressuring the league to settle when he criticized its handling of the investigation and discipline over the last eight months.

The league brought the scandal to Berman’s Manhattan courtroom immediately once Goodell upheld Brady’s four-game suspension, blasting the quarterback for arranging the destruction of his cellphone and its nearly 10,000 messages just before he was interviewed for the NFL probe.

The union countersued, said Brady did nothing wrong and asked the judge to nullify the suspension.

While the league investigation found it was “more probable than not” that two Patriots ball handling employees de-

begins with loss to Utah

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa head football coach Kirk Ferentz will start his 17th year when the Hawkeyes kick off the season against Illinois State at 11 a.m. Saturday at Kinnick Stadium.

as a result of the switch.

“You’re always looking to get better and always looking for better ways to do things.

The world of recruiting has changed dramatically. I think we’ve picked up the pace a little bit. You have to because it’s a national trend, and then this facility has made a big difference,” Ferentz said.

But it’s not as though Ferentz has made all these changes in a vacuum.

Unlike contemporaries like Oklahoma’s Bob Stoops and Georgia’s Mark Richt, Ferentz doesn’t have a ranked team that appears poised to compete for a playoff spot.

Ticket sales also have plummeted in recent years for the Hawkeyes. After years of sellouts, they could have as many as 12,000 empty seats for Saturday’s opener.

And even though the $13 million buyout Ferentz would be owed if Iowa fired him before the season starts apparently makes him safe, change could be on the horizon for the entire athletic department.

Longtime university President Sally Mason retired on Aug. 1 — coincidentally the day Ferentz turned 60. Her replacement was named Thursday.

Whoever takes over will surely take a long look at the athletic department and director Gary Barta, who’s come

under heavy criticism of late.

An internal e-mail from head track coach Layne Anderson obtained by The Associated Press alleges that athletic department administrators ordered a female to be hired over male candidates for an assistant coaching job regardless of qualifications.

The Education Department is also investigating gender bias complaints against Barta over his firing of field hockey coach Tracey Griesbaum and other female head coaches.

But Barta’s decision in 2010 to sign Ferentz to what amounted to a lifetime contract — highlighted by that Ferentz-friendly buyout — has been the move that fans have been harping on as Iowa’s fortunes took a downturn.

So even though alternate uniforms, fancy facilities and more aggressive recruiting have been trends for years around the country, it’s symbolic that Ferentz and the Hawkeyes have joined in.

The game has undergone a revolution since Ferentz took over in 1999, and he finally appears ready to accept it.

“He knows that we have to adapt to the current situation,” Iowa running back LeShun Daniels Jr. said. “I never thought we’d do blackout uniforms and stuff like that. I guess he’s sort of changing in his ways.”

liberately released air from Patriots game balls at January’s 45-7 New England victory over the Indianapolis Colts, it cited no direct evidence that Brady knew about or authorized it.

Goodell, though, went beyond the initial investigation report, finding in late July as a result of testimony from Brady and others that the quarterback conspired with the ball handlers and tried to obstruct the league’s probe, including by destroying his cellphone.

The commissioner said he concluded Brady “knew about, approved of, consented to, and provided inducements and rewards” to ensure balls were deflated.

Berman attacked the league while questioning one of its lawyers at two hearings, citing a lack of proof against Brady and asking how Goodell settled on a four-game suspension instead of other discipline.

He warned the league that he had the authority to overturn its punishment of Brady if he found the NFL acted unfairly by refusing to deliv-

er NFL Executive Vice President Jeff Pash as a witness even though he worked on the NFL investigation.

Berman had repeatedly urged both sides to settle and tone down their rhetoric.

At a hearing Monday attended by Brady and Goodell, the judge announced that both sides had “tried quite hard” to reach a deal in morning talks.

But the case was left for him to decide.

As they negotiated, the sides attacked each other in court papers.

In one August court filing, the union said the four-game suspension displayed “a clearly biased agenda — not an effort at fairness and consistency,” and it criticized Goodell’s ruling upholding the suspension as a “smear campaign,” a “propaganda piece written for public consumption.”

In its papers, the NFL said there was “ample support” in evidence for the commissioner to conclude Brady was involved in efforts by the Patriots equipment personnel to deflate footballs.

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Running back Devontae Booker had 124 combined yards and a touchdown and Utah spoiled Jim Harbaugh’s Michigan coaching debut, beating the Wolverines 2417 on Thursday night.

The Utes took a 24-10 lead on Justin Thomas’ 55yard interception return for a touchdown with 7:58 left in the fourth quarter in the opener for both teams.

Harbaugh faced many of the same issues the Wolverines had under former coach Brady Hoke.

Quarterback Jake Rudock beat out Shane Morris for the start and the Iowa transfer had a reputation for limiting turnovers. Rudock promptly threw three against Utah, and finished 27-for-43 for 279 yards and two touchdowns. Michigan was held to 355 total yards, gaining only 76 on the ground.

Booker overcame a slow start to have a team-high seven catches for 55 yards and added 69 yards rushing.

Travis Wilson threw for 208 yards and ran for 53 yards and a touchdown.

No. 2 TCU 23, Minnesota 17 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Trevone Boykin threw for 246 yards and a touchdown and ran for 92 yards and another score to help No. 2 TCU outlast Minnesota 2317 on Thursday night.

Boykin started his Heisman push by completing 26-of-42 passes. But he also threw an interception and the Horned Frogs had a difficult time getting their frenetic offense rolling against Minnesota’s determined defense. Their 23 points were their fewest scored since Nov. 9, 2013.

Jaden Oberkrom made three field goals, including a 53-yarder, and Josh Doctson had eight catches for 74

yards and a touchdown for TCU. Mitch Leidner threw for 197 yards for Minnesota.

His touchdown pass to K.J. Maye with 1:32 left pulled the Golden Gophers within a touchdown, but TCU recovered the onside kick to hang on.

Oklahoma State 24, Central Michigan 13 MOUNT PLEASANT, Mich. (AP) — Mike Gundy told his Oklahoma State Cowboys that they weren’t going to get an easy win Thursday night against Central Michigan.

It took them more than a half to believe him.

The Chippewas took a 13-10 lead early in the third quarter before the Cowboys scored the game’s final 14 points to escape with a 2413 win in the season opener for both teams.

The Cowboys were just the fifth Power Five conference school in the last 20 years to visit Kelly/Shorts Stadium, and had to work hard to avoid becoming the first one to lose.

South Carolina 17, North Carolina 13 CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — South Carolina linebacker Skai Moore had a gut feeling Marquise Williams was going to throw into the middle of the end zone with the game on the line.

So he dropped back into coverage and waited, all the while watching the eyes of the North Carolina quarterback.

Moore intercepted Williams’ pass on a fourth and goal from the 8-yard line with 3:48 left in the game to help seal South Carolina’s 17-13 win over North Carolina on Thursday night.

The Gamecocks intercepted Williams three times on the night and registered four sacks.

that life has to offer. Travel and the arts hold particular interest. Apply your knowledge, and you’ll make money.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You’ll ask for opinions from the people you admire even though you are well aware that they do not know your world a millionth as well as you know your world. Trust yourself.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). A new person in your life has just the maddening quirks and charming idiosyncrasies to thrill and challenge you. Is this attraction or an annoyance? Whatever you feel, you will feel it strongly.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

One encounter sets off a chain of events. When the scenery around you is different, you’ll know that you’ve progressed.

Take pictures to document this remarkable time.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Work brings a mystery, and you’re just the one to solve it. Get others involved, though, so there will be people to applaud your genius in the end.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Relaxation and leisure -- states that you believe seem better suited to people who aren’t you. At some point, you’ll see how important it is to kick up your heels -- but not today.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). The current cosmic climate is heightening your awareness of others. You may even feel that you can read someone’s thoughts. As your understanding of a loved one deepens, the relationship will become more rewarding.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

The simple pleasures like hot tea, cold soda or a car ride with the windows down are the things that make this day great. Your favorite person is the one who understands that.
