Oklahoma earthquake felt across Jasper County Local residents experience tremors Saturday morning from 417 miles away

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News A northern Oklahoma earthquake rattled the Midwest Saturday

morning, and local Iowans have reported feeling its tremors.

The 5.6 magnitude earthquake happened at 7:02 a.m. Saturday

in north-central Oklahoma, according to the United States Geological Survey. Its size matches the November 2011 Oklahoma quake, making it one of the largest on record in the state.

Fifteen people from Jasper County reported weak to light shaking to the USGS online. Eight reports came in from

Newton (417 miles from the earthquake epicenter), two from Prairie City and one from Monroe, Kellogg, Sully, Colfax and Mingo.

Karla Sutton, of Newton, had only been up for 15 to 20 minutes Saturday morning when she felt something strange and startling.

She was sitting in her

garage with the garage door open when the earthquake tremors rattled Newton.

“The lawn chair starts shaking,” Sutton said.

She thought maybe it was the shivers but quickly realized that wasn’t the case. “Then I see my feet were shaking, and I look to my right at the van was moving, too.”

Other residents reported similarly unusual experiences.

Retired pharmacist, Rich Henderson, of Newton, said he had never felt an earthquake before until the one Saturday morning.

Rhythm and Blues Newton Main

Street holding 50/50 raffle

Up to $5,000 to go to the winner

Kate Malott/Daily News People clap and cheer as the blues music filled the air Sunday during the 24th annual South Skunk Bowlful of Blues festival Sunday held at the historic Fred Maytag Bowl. About a thousand people came out to Newton’s Maytag Park for the event. See more photos on 12A.

Large turnout recorded at annual South Skunk Bowlful of Blues festival Sunday

bout 1,000 people felt the rhythm and blues Sunday at Maytag Bowl.

The South Skunk Blues Society Bowlful of Blues, in its 24th year, had a large turnout with mostly perfect weather for its first Sunday festival date.

“This particular Bowlful of Blues was a bit of a gamble because we’ve never had it on a Sunday. We’ve had more people here at the beginning of the festival than we’ve ever had,” South Skunk President Elaine Mattingly said.

The festival lineup including Mother Ship Blues Band, star-

ring lead singer Jeff Banks, formerly of Newton, and Bob Dorr and the Blue Band followed by three separate headlining acts, Marquise Knox Band, Joanna Connor Band and Nellie Tiger Travis Band.

Blues music is the base of the festival but there are other genres heard throughout the day: rock and roll, soul, country, jazz, jam or funk.

“One of the things we really want to do is expose more and more people to not only this festival but to how dynamic the music itself is,” Mattingly said.

Knox attended the event from St. Louis, Mo. He is a young, matured blues singer, guitarist and harmonica player. Being a blues

musician is a family tradition and a key part of his heritage, Knox said. His grandmother, Lillie taught him to play guitar.

Revered by many in the industry as an up and coming electric great, Knox is reminiscent of many of his inspirations such as Muddy Waters, Johnny Lee Hooker and B.B. King.

“The festival has been good and I’ve enjoyed myself. This is my first time performing here in Iowa so it’s nice to come to an energetic crowd,” he said. “People seemed like they really enjoyed it and a lot of people have came up to and gave me high praises so that always makes you happy.”

Newton community members have less than three weeks left to purchase a ticket for Newton Main Street’s 50/50 raffle with the chance to win up to $5,000.

The raffle is a part of the organization’s 20172019 pledge drive, which kicked off on July 28.

“It’s a win-win for both involved. We are able to raise some funds for our efforts and a lucky winner is able to take home up to $5,000,” Newton Main Street Director Graham Sullivan said.

“A fun event to kick off our new three-year pledge drive.”

Only 100 tickets were available for the fundraiser and a portion of those have already been sold. Each ticket costs $100 for a total of up to $10,000 raised.

A winner will be drawn at 7 p.m. Sept. 22 on the northwest corner of the square. The winner does not have to be present to receive the prize.

Tickets can be purchased from any Main Street board member and at Main Street’s office, 113 First Ave. W. A RAFFLE | 3A

Stockmanship, cattle handling featured at ISU workshops

Wheat prices hit 10-year low AP Photo Wheat prices fell to a 10-year low this past week, according to the Associated Press and market statistics. While Iowa doesn’t produce much wheat, it’s occasionally a cover crop or part of a diversification that can avoid diseases or conditions that affect other crops.

Crop is produced minimally in Iowa

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News With the price of wheat hitting a 10-year low, there are opportunities for farmers to integrate wheat as a cover crop or for a gap season, but the USDA believes the demand will increase in the years ahead.

The USDA, in long-term projections released in February, predicts the domestic and foreign use of wheat will reverse its sharp drop over the past five years, steadily climbing as feed use of grains levels

off and the overall world food demand continues to climb.

The support level for December wheat has dipped below the $4 mark and is now down at $3.50 to $3.75, with Canadian wheat prices tied in many ways to what’s happening in U.S. markets. Most recent estimates show a U.S. harvest of 15 billion bushels.

The United States was fifth in the world in 2015 wheat productions with more than 63 million metric tons, ranking it behind the European Union, China, India and Russia. Planting winter wheat allows for six to eight weeks of growth before the soil freezes, giving time for good root development before the plants go dormant for the winter months.

One farmer from Bedford — located near Clarinda — told Practical Farmers of Iowa wheat helps him diversify and

fortify the soil at his farm, where he grows corn, soybeans and small grains and raises cattle and sheep. Planting a diverse cover crop mix, into a recently combined field of wheat in early July, helps reduce input costs during tough times, as the amount of fertilizer and herbicides needed for wheat are minimal or non-existent.

A farmer from Alton, near Sioux City, said his 100-acre hard red winter wheat crop yields about 60 bushels per acre, similar to that of soybeans.

The amount of Iowa winter wheat production went up by about 45,000 bushels from 2014 to 2015, even though overall American production of the crop dropped by about 7 million bushels to 1,377,216,000.

VINTON — Beef producers who want to learn more about improving animal movement and performance through reduced stress on livestock are invited to attend one of two workshops in eastern Iowa Sept. 19-20.

The stockmanship and handling portion of each workshop features nationally recognized cattle handling expert Tom Noffsinger, of Nebraska, according to Iowa State University Extension and Outreach beef program specialist Denise Schwab. “He bases his presentation on four simple principles of cattle behavior: cattle want to see you, go around you, be with other cattle and can process only one thought at a time,� she said. “Tom also will demonstrate low stress handling methods that can be used for gathering animals from pasture as well as processing through corrals.�

In addition to animal handling, Doug Bear from the Iowa Beef Industry Council will be certifying participants through the Beef Quality Assurance program.

Workshop dates, start times, locations and attendance requirements are as follows: 12:30 p.m., Sept. 19, NICC Beef Center, Calmar.

Open to all beef producers. 9 a.m., Sept. 20, Clinton County Fairgrounds, DeWitt. Open to all beef producers.

Milan farm carves blueberry niche MILAN (AP) — Drive south of Milan on Ridgewood Road and you’ll see lots of new homes with nicely mowed lawns and tidy flower beds.

You also might spot a small, older house set back from the road, nearly hidden by giant ragweeds.

Nearby are a hoop house and flowers, shrubs and tomato plants growing in rows. Turn in the driveway and you’ll encounter a flock of chickens, cackling as they scratch at the grass, and a number of kittens.

Welcome to Beacon Woods Farm, home of Gary and Chris Nordick, and their children, Ben and Ally.

It’s not the usual farmers-market farm, if there is such a thing.

Chris is a nurse practitioner with a doctorate whose “day job� is teaching at the University of St. Francis in Joliet, Illinois. The instruction is primarily online, but she also drives there about once a week during the school year. Husband Gary is a clinical psychologist, practicing at Southpark Psychology, Moline.

But when they’re not doing those jobs, they are out here on this place planting, tending and harvesting vegetables, fruit and flowers. They also keep 15 bee hives for honey, chop firewood and raise chickens for meat as well as eggs. Yes, they butcher! It doesn’t get much more hands-on than that.

Applications now open for the beginning farmer SIP Newton Daily News AMES — Practical Farmers of Iowa is now accepting applications for the Savings Incentive Program Class of 2018.

The two-year program aims to help beginning farmers succeed at their farm start-ups through mentorship from an experienced farmer; business plan support; the chance to save money and receive matching funds; encouragement to attend a range of learning opportunities; and access to a network of supportive farmers.Â

Applications must be filled out and submitted using the online application form at practicalfarmers. org. Up to 12 beginning farmers will be admitted this round. Applications are evaluated by a committee of Practical Farmers members using a scoring system that rewards a noticeable commitment to developing applicants’ independent farming goals.

Applications will be accepted through Oct. 7. Selections will be made in early November.

The Savings Incentive Program works by encouraging enrollees to

save $100 per month for two years.

After 24 months and completion of all program requirements, participants earn a dollar-for-dollar match on money saved up to $2,400, for a possible $4,800 that may be used to help purchase a farm asset. Since the program first launched in 2009, more than $124,000 have been matched and given to beginning farmers who have completed the program. This savings component helps beginning farmers overcome prohibitive start-up costs. Applicants must either be farming on their own now and have farmed

for five or fewer years; or they must have some experience working for a farm business. This includes, but is not limited to: internships, apprenticeships, working as an hourly or salaried employee, or working on the family farm. Applicants must also be members of Practical Farmers of Iowa, and either reside or farm in Iowa.

For questions about the Savings Incentive Program or application process, contact Greg Van Den Berghe at greg@practicalfarmers.org or 515232-5661.

Local & State News Blues Continued from Page 1A Bob Dorr and the Blue Band were back to the bowl for the event. It had been 12 years since they had made it to the festival, one Dorr said he is fond to play.

“I go back to the original guys who formed the South Skunk Blues Society, we were wild kids together,” he said.

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Sept. 6, 2016 | 3A

“The place itself is so iconic — the bowl — it sounds so good. It was fantastic.”

Dorr, celebrating 35 years with the Blue Band, is a retired University of Northern Iowa broadcasting services professor and current Iowa Public Radio host. As a blues junkie, he looked forward to the performances of the day.

“I think Joanna Connor is a really fine lead guitar player, but I believe she is one of

the best rhythm guitar players on the planet, and the art of rhythm guitar has really fallen off the charts,” he said.

The South Skunk Blues Society is a Jasper County organization that has been around since 1992. A core of 12-15 people make up the group who work all year long, including Mattingly, vice president Mike Retman, secretary Diana Swihart, treasurer Deana Williams and past

ticket can be purchased by one individual or a group of people.

Sullivan said even if all 100 tickets are not sold, the raffle will still take place with the final total split between the winner and Main Street.

As Main Street’s initial three-year pledge drive is ending this calendar year, Main Street is looking for new and creative way to raise funds along with businesses and individuals to continue their pledges for the next three years, as well as add some new to the numbers.

“Main Street operates solely because of the generous donations of our city, businesses and individuals who see the potential Newton has in being a Main Street community and what that can mean for us,” Sullivan said. “Pledges can come not only in monetary donations, but in-kind donations and donations of volunteer time, as well. The more resources we have the more opportunities for growth and progress in our downtown.”

the quake when he felt the bed moving, shifting back and forth.

“I thought my wife was shaking the bed, but I looked over and she wasn’t there,” he said. He noticed the chains that hang from the ceiling fan were moving, too.

“I watched those chains move and then pretty soon they went back to normal,” he said.

The quake happened about nine miles from Pawnee, Okla. and no buildings collapsed in the town of 2,200. There were no injuries, either, Pawnee County Emergency Management Director Mark Randell said.

“We’ve got buildings cracked. Most of it’s brick and mortar, old buildings from the early 1900s,” he said.

An increase in magnitude 3.0 or greater earthquakes in Oklahoma has been linked to underground disposal of wastewater from oil and natural gas production.

Oklahoma regulators have asked producers to reduce wastewater disposal volumes in earthquake-prone regions of the state. Some parts of Oklahoma now match northern California for the nation’s most shake-prone, and one Oklahoma region has a one in eight chance of a damaging quake in 2016, with other parts closer to 1 in 20.

“Washington State has demonstrated, perhaps, how not to do it,” Johnson said. “I give Washington credit for being in the game, but it’s a model that taxes the product too many times prior to it getting

time and a lot of work to pull off something like this because we are working with national and regional touring blues acts as well as Iowa based,” Mattingly said.

“It’s obvious that they put a lot and time and effort into it because it’s really turned out great,” Dorr said.

“I thought it went wonderful. It was a great day,” Retman said. “It’s the most fun job I’ve ever had. I love the music.”

“We’ve had dozens of volunteers working on this festival for a year. It takes a long

Johnson said his opposition to what he considers government overreach, and his stance on both ending the “war on drugs” and setting up marijuana programs have been confused with favoring the legalization of many substances.

“Actually, marijuana is the only drug where I support an (FDA) schedule change,” Johnson said. “The real demons are

prohibition. We need to start looking at these things as public health issues rather than criminal issues. We have the highest incarceration rate in the world, and the biggest reason is the war on drugs.”

Johnson also said prison reform is hampered by public-employee unions in terms of opposing marijuana laws — especially in California.

He said prison discussions are about something larger than private versus public prisons.

It’s about incarcerating people instead of addressing their real issues, he said.

Friday, Johnson called upon leaders to look at substance and mental health issues as simply part of a larger health care picture that must be addressed proactively.

“When I was governor of New Mexico, I signed a bill giving mental health parity with all other health issues,” Johnson said. “Resources, from an insurance standpoint, needed to include mental health.”

“The notion that privately run prisons are locking people up for money is not as important as the policies and politics that lead to criminalizing activities that aren’t criminal in most of the world,” Johnson said. “We’re locking people up for victimless crimes, and not just drugs. Immigration policies feed the growth of our prison population, too.”

Saturday’s rally at Grand View focused on simplifying the tax rate, reforming Social Security, reducing military aide with regime changes and other issues.

Living and Dion Marc Dion

Learning to work I live in the city where I work, and it’s a tight little city, and on my way to work, I see the kids going to school, to grade school.

The really young ones, the ones just starting the trip, are brought to school by dad or mom. Some of ‘em don’t even walk that steadily, they’ve still got a little of that wide-legged toddler walk.

And I think that, what you really start learning, on that first day in school, is how to work, how to hide yourself, how to do what someone else wants you to do.

Until then, you’re a baby. You sleep when and where you want, eat when you want, go to the bathroom when you want. You can sit and look out the window for two hours in the afternoon and the only thing that happens is your mother says, “Are you sad?” and gives you a cupcake.

Is there a more beautiful sound than a mother’s voice asking “Are you sad?”

School is like a job with no paycheck. You have to show up on time. You can’t leave until it’s time to leave. You get regular, too-short breaks. There’s a teacher/boss who tells you what to do, and your fellow workers are strangers your first day on the job.

You look out the window for five minutes and teacher/boss says, “Stop daydreaming,” or “pay attention.”

You have to wear “appropriate” clothes. You can’t take your shoes off because your feet are hot.

You can get in real trouble, too, not like that trouble you get in with mom, where she yells at you and then both of you feel bad. In school, getting in trouble means paper work, a demerit, a note to your folks. Decades later, when you first encounter the employee handbook, you’ll already know what “written up” means.

And look, it’s not like I hate education. I have a Master’s Degree. And I’m not unfamiliar with discipline, either. I went to school with nuns — real, old-fashioned, black habit, white veil nuns. Getting in trouble with a nun was like getting hit by lightning.

I didn’t dislike the nuns, either. They hit me a time or two, but I’m not one of these weepy Catholic school veterans. Sister Mary Pius hit you 40 years ago? What did she hit you with, a brick? Quit cryin’ and grow up!

But I watch the kids, the little ones, going in that first day and I think, “Kid, this is your first day wearing the saddle.”

Then I step down on the gas pedal because I can’t be late for work.

Berg tour is eye-opener Imagine trying to concentrate in an extremely hot room in the middle of the winter or in an extremely cold room in the fall and spring along with a musty damp smell nearly every day with no thermostat to control the temperature or windows to let in fresh air.

In 2000 – 2002, I worked under those conditions in a classroom at Berg as have many others over the years. My problem was solved when one of my colleagues resigned. I was able to move across the hall to a classroom that had windows and a thermostat. That meant that other students and teachers had to be exposed to those deplorable conditions.

Curiosity caused me to tour the Berg complex on Tuesday evening. I was particularly interested to find out if anything had ever been done to rectify the problems that I had experienced many years ago. It was exciting to see the improvements that had been made, and it was obvious that the custodial staff had been very busy making it look great.

The tour was a real eye-opener. I was able to see what had caused all of the problems with

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

the dampness, musty smell, and temperature issues in my classroom.

Much to my dismay, my former classroom and many other classrooms are still having those same problems, especially with temperature control. There is now a dehumidifier that runs almost constantly in my former classroom. The carpet in the adjacent room had to be removed due to the continual dampness. Money could be spent on remodeling, but many deficiencies, mainly heating/cooling the inside rooms, would remain. Nothing can be done to correct the temperature problems because of the original design of the building.

Like many others, I have not always agreed with the decisions that have been made by administrators and school board members in years past. Now we need to move forward and do what is best for our students, educators, and community. If you have any doubts about the necessity of rebuilding Berg, please go on the tour, which will be from 1:30 to 3 p.m. on Sept.

YOUR VIEW

Bottom line on the school levy On Sept. 13, our community will be asked to vote on a bond proposal for a new middle school campus. When I talk to parents and others in the community, I hear many comments both positive and negative. There are those who understand and support the proposed bond, and state they don’t want to see an increase but fully understand the logic of building new versus re-building a 50-year old structure.

Others mention they cannot afford any raise in taxes. Everyone has their own opinion about

Time for a change at Berg During a recent tour of the B.C. Berg School complex, we had the opportunity to descend into the bowels of this building, housing the ancient boiler system, outdated wiring boxes, and rundown mechanical areas. It was an eye-opener.

Maintenance Superintendent Jack Suttek reviewed the many problems involved and assured us that some extremely expensive updating absolutely must be done. He emphasized the problems which he also covered so

Students need new building I am in support of the Newton school board’s decision to build a new school building for the fifth through eighth grade students. I have toured the current facilities listening to volunteers, staff members and representatives from the architectural and financial firms explain the issues that exist and are in need of improvement.

Having worked in facilities

Berg tour is appalling My wife Cindy and I took the tour of Berg School this past Tuesday. We don’t have children ourselves but are strong believers in a strong educational system.

We were appalled at what we were seeing through the tour.

First, the room sizes don’t allow for expansion for handicapped accessibility, which is a need.

The temperature changes from

the bond and rightfully so. Regardless of your current position on this issue, many truly do not have a clear understanding of the change taxes would entail. The main reason I am writing in is to offer facts to the community and provide resources for further research.

These are the facts regarding the change in taxes and how it could affect you. The total project cost will require a tax levy to generate $26.9 million. If successful the referendum will raise debt service from $2.62 to $2.70 per $1000. To explain the impact of this debt service per year: $50,000 home x .556259= $27,812.95 is taxable value x $2.70/$1,000 =

75.09 in taxes. This would be an increase of $2.22 over the 20162017 tax rate. $100,000 home x .556259.90 is taxable value x $2.70/$1,000 tax rate = $150.19 in taxes. This would be an increase of $4.45 over the 2016-2017 tax rate. Note this change is for an entire year’s taxation. The increase on $150,000 home would be $6.67 per year.

Our four boys attended Berg School, and there are so many memories. I served as institutional representatives when we formed the first Boy Scout Troop and have been a mentor to countless young students during my retirement years. So, as I walk those halls my love for the soul and surroundings con-

tinues. Demolishing this building tugs at my heart strings. But, even an “old timer” like me can and perhaps should change his mind.

Jack Suttek compared our existing building with an old automobile, which may still be running, even looking good on the interior and exterior. But, when the motor is worn out, the gears and drive train are shot, and a complete overhaul is necessary, perhaps it is time to face facts.

Yes, I love this old school.

But, I really believe it’s time for a change.

engineering for 40-plus years, at Maytag and John Deere Des Moines Works, I have had to deal with similar type issues. There comes a time when the facility you have to work with is not worth the cost to renovate because you cannot get the facility that is needed. The current Berg complex is that facility and needs to be replaced. Building codes have changed with regards to electrical, mechanical, and life safety issues, as well as ADA, American’s with Disability Act,

requirements that would need to be addressed. The current building will not allow for all these issues to be addressed in a cost effective manner and get the building that is needed for the students.

I ask you to vote “yes” on Sept.

13 to show your support for the bond issue and provide the new building needed to educate students in the Newton Community School District.

room to room due to the ventilation challenges, which can effect anyone’s attention span. The kids need to dress in layers dependent on which classrooms they will be attending. The single pane windows are outdated and need someone to go outside to help close them. Lighting is outdated as well. The fire system has been grandfathered in, but there is no sprinkler system or ceiling space to allow updating. The classroom disruptions with repairman going into floor entries for repairs.

In the electrical room, there is a high water mark showing that a tangled mess of electrical cords had been submerged under water. Electricity and water do not mix! There’s black mold. They are using breaker boxes as light switches.

The children are our future and they deserve a better building. We are voting “yes” for the school bond on Sept. 13. We hope you will join us.

was there she met her future husband, Donald (Bill) Burns. They were united in marriage Jan. 22, 1950, in Unionville.

In 1955, they moved to Iowa to find a better life for their family. In December 1960, they bought a small acreage south of Prairie City, where the blacktop ends and more than 50 years of living in a wonderful neighborhood began. In 2005, Dixie decided to move to Monroe, since Bill had passed away and their little acreage just wasn’t the same without him. In 2013, Dixie moved the Park Centre in Newton.

Dixie’s greatest love was her husband Bill and her family. They enjoyed camping, riding horses and mules, gardening, playing cards and just being together. While Dixie had 14 grandchildren of her own, she was called Grandma by many others. Dixie welcomed everyone to her dinner table. She didn’t

love to cook but she loved company and was always able pull off a decent meal at a moment’s notice. Everyone knew they were welcome.

Husband with sleepy wife wants marriage to wake up

DEAR ABBY: I have been married to my soul mate for 25 years. We get along great — she’s my best friend and a good mother to our three kids.

(She takes care of my mom who lives with us, too.) The only problem is, she loves to sleep.

She will do anything for us except wake up a few hours early without being mad at the world. She gets our kids off to school with no problem, but then returns to bed. I run a small construction company and need someone to answer the phones and do secretary stuff. Our books are a mess, the house is decent, but she won’t let me hire a part-time secretary.

She gets up at noon and spends the rest of the day “catching up.” It’s driving a wedge in our marriage. My friends and their wives do things together on weekends, but not mine.

She sleeps until 2 or 3 p.m. on the weekends.

I work a lot of Saturdays, and when I go to customers’ homes and see the wife outside gardening, it breaks my heart. I have threatened to leave, and she works on it for a couple days and then falls back into the same old habits. Help! — HURTING HUSBAND IN CALIFORNIA DEAR HUSBAND: Not everyone requires the same amount of sleep in order to function. Some folks may be fine with five hours, but others need eight, nine or even 10. If your wife needs more than that, there may be an underlying problem of some kind that she should discuss with her doctor.

In marriage there needs to be compromise. If you are experiencing stress because you don’t have enough help in your business, then you need to hire someone because your wife is already doing all she can taking care of three kids and your mother. And you

shouldn’t need her permission.

DEAR ABBY: At a pool party recently, I complimented another woman on her “good figure” (she was wearing a bikini and looked great in it), but I was told later by a different woman who had been there how “hurtful” my compliment had been to everyone else present because I complimented only the bikini-wearing woman. I felt coerced into apologizing to the second woman for not offering a compliment of some kind to everyone else at the party — which seems artificial and unnecessary (actually stupid) to me.

The woman looking for the apology left me feeling steamed, and now I’m thinking that maybe I apologized for something I didn’t need to. Is it true that you shouldn’t compliment one person if you can’t manage to do the same for everyone else present? — POOL PARTY COMPLIMENT DEAR P.P.C.: No, it’s not. I have never heard of that rule of etiquette.

Following her logic, you would be compelled to compliment every male at an event if you told one that the tie or shirt he was wearing was nice. I suspect the woman was less hurt than jealous, and I doubt the other women at the pool party were paying much attention to what you said.

Goats to graze on nuisance vegetation at Iowa state park VENTURA — A herd of 40 goats is helping to clear nuisance vegetation at an Iowa state park. The goats will graze on non-native honeysuckle, buckthorn and other plants that have crowded out native vegetation. The goats belong to “Goats On The Go” in Ames. Park Manager Tammy Domonosk says she decided to hire goats because it made sense. Domonosk says she and her staff have been cutting and treating the invasive plants for several years and haven’t been getting ahead of the problem.

PERRY — City officials in the Dallas County city of Perry are considering a growth incentive: No property taxes for 10 years on new homes. City leaders hope the plan will lure builders and potential residents to Perry, which sits within commuting distance of the Des Moines metropolitan area. City Administrator Sven Peterson says Perry hasn’t fully recovered from the recession and is losing residents to Adel, Waukee and other cities. City leaders are expected to approve the plan Tuesday.

Boat passenger hit by propeller after falling into river LITTLE SIOUX — A Nebraska man has been injured in a boating accident on the Missouri River in Iowa’s Harrison County.

The Iowa Natural Resources Department says in a news release that the accident occurred just before 8 p.m. Sunday, about four miles south of the Little Sioux boat ramp. The department says the man was sitting in the boat bow when the boat hit the wake of another vessel, causing him to fall out over the bow.

Two dead, two injured after late-night shooting in Clive CLIVE (AP) — An overnight shooting at an event center in Clive has killed two people and injured two others.

Clive police were called to the 7 Flags Event Center shortly before 2 a.m. Monday on a report of gunshots fired.

As many as 60 people were in the parking lot at the time of the shooting.

Authorities said 29-year-

old Johnny Lee Ollie Jackson of Des Moines died at the scene of the shooting in the center’s parking lot. Another victim, 44-year-old Kevin Lee Hall of Des Moines, died on the way to a local hospital.

William Dale Celander, 31, and Kelly Christopher Love Jr., 25, were hospitalized with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds. Authorities said they were driven to hospitals in

private vehicles.

Clive Police Chief Michael Venema said the people involved in the shooting knew each other. He said the shooting was the result of a personal dispute, and the public is not in danger.

Authorities have not provided information about any suspects.

City of Newton working on next strategic plan

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The city will continue work on the strategic plan during a special planning meeting at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Jasper County Emergency Management Office, 1030 W. Second St. S. At the meeting, city council and staff will review the current plan, look at any issues, concerns, opportunities and trends, identify ongoing commitments/obligations and address programs, policies, projects and initiatives, among other work.

The strategic plan consists of the comprehensive plan, city action plan, community investment plan and annual budget. The comprehensive plan provides a guide for decision-making so that the decisions the council makes do not jeopardize the vision for the future. It enables staff to address the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.

The city action plan identifies goals and objectives intended to move the city toward its vision and mission, which are also a part of the action plan. The action items then become the work plan for the staff for the next two years.

The community investment plan is also driven by the comprehensive plan, the citizen survey, the equipment

replacement plan and the professional judgment of city staff. This document is completed in late fall to early winter and provides input into the preparation of the annual budget.

Work on the strategic plan for 20172019 began for the city council with a review and approval of the vision, mission and value statements, which were last established in the 2015-2017 Action Plan.

The current vision statement for the city states: Newton shines brightly: Newton is a progressive, family-friendly community, a rising star of Central Iowa, and a place to call home.

The mission statement says: The mission of the City of Newton is to be the best provider of excellent services through a professional, innovative team dedicated to high-quality performance and fiscal responsibility.

Finally, the value statement for the city reads: We provide leadership and support to create and maintain a thriving community through these values: We act with honesty and integrity; We demonstrate compassion and empathy; We are accountable and dependable; and We serve through collaboration and teamwork. We serve with pride and respect. This is our commitment to those we serve.

problems,” Venema said. “It was a small event so it’s not what you’d expect here.”

Authorities said the center had been hosting “The 2nd Annual All Black Party 2016,” where guests dress in black.

About 250 people attended.

Elizabeth Buchholtz, 38, of Des Moines was at the event when she said a fight broke out near her between two males. “Security swooped in

and one man started knocking over tables and knocked over a girl,” she said.

Minutes later, as patrons began to file out as the event ended, she said she heard gunshots from the parking lot. Many of the roughly 50 people left in the venue started screaming and running for cover, she said. Police arrived and told patrons to get away from the windows.

Fish kill investigated near Collins in Jasper County Newton Daily News COLLINS — A fish kill south of Collins near the Jasper-Polk County line is being investigated by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources.

The fish kill was reported late Saturday morning along Wolf Creek. Approximately six miles of stream was affected and the kill consisted of smaller fish species.

Field testing did detect high amounts of ammonia along portions of the stream. Wolf Creek is a tributary of Indian Creek which did not appear to be affected.

Regents’ budget idea has challenges because of funding DES MOINES (AP) — The board that oversees Iowa’s three public universities says its plan for a new two-year budget system will bring more predictability to tuition expenses for students and their families, but the unpredictability of available state funding could complicate that effort.

The Iowa Board of Regents, which provides support to the University of Iowa, Iowa State University and the University of Northern Iowa, announced recently a plan to fund the budget years that end in 2018 and 2019

with a combination of tuition increases and more state dollars. The board has typically planned one year ahead.

“By going to this new model, students and parents will know tuition rates well in advance, and the state will know our thinking on funding for two years,” said regents President Bruce Rastetter in a statement.

The nine-member board faces some challenges in delivering on its vision, in part because it’s become increasingly difficult to figure out how much money the Iowa

Legislature will allocate each year to higher education. Student leaders at the three universities have publicly expressed frustrations about the growing cost of education, including an across-the-board tuition hike approved in July that came just weeks before the start of the new academic year.

University of Iowa student body president Rachel Zuckerman said the board’s announcement reflects an effort to listen to students’ concerns, but “now the Legislature and the governor have to play their roles.”

Trump, Clinton turn to battleground states in the South VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) — With Labor Day behind them, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are pushing ahead in top presidential battlegrounds in the South.

Trump, the Republican nominee, is set to campaign in Virginia and North Carolina on Tuesday, two critical states in his path to the presidency. Clinton, the Democrat, is campaigning in Florida in search of an advantage in the nation’s largest swing state. A Clinton victory in Florida would make it virtually impossible for Trump to overcome her advantage in the race for 270 electoral votes.

The day before in swing state Ohio, Trump softened his stance on immigration while Clinton blasted Russia for suspected tampering in the U.S. electoral process.

In a rare news conference aboard her new campaign plane, Clinton said she is concerned

about “credible reports about Russian government interference in our elections.”

“We are going to have to take those threats and attacks seriously,” Clinton told reporters traveling with her from Ohio to Illinois.

Clinton’s comments follow reports that the Russian government may

have been involved in the hacking of Democratic National Committee emails just days before the party’s national convention. The emails, later revealed by WikiLeaks, showed some DNC officials favoring Clinton over her primary opponent, Bernie Sanders — who has since endorsed Clinton for president.

She said Russian President Vladimir Putin appears “quite satisfied with himself ” and said Trump “has generally parroted what is a Putin-Kremlin line.”

Meanwhile, Trump extended a rare invitation to journalists to accompany him on his private plane from Cleveland to

Youngstown, Ohio. The billionaire businessman appeared to shy away from his hard-line vow to block “amnesty” for immigrants in the country illegally.

Any immigrants who want full citizenship must return to their countries of origin and get in line, he told reporters — but he would not rule out a pathway to legal status for the millions living in the U.S. illegally, as he did in a long-awaited policy speech last week.

“We’re going to make that decision into the future,” Trump said.

Clinton powered through a coughing fit at a Labor Day festival at a Cleveland park, sharply criticizing Trump’s recent trip to Mexico as “an embarrassing international incident.” Unwilling to allow Trump to modify his immigration stances, she said his address later that night in Arizona amounted to a “doubling down on his

absurd plan to send a deportation force to round up 16 million people.”

“He can try to fool voters into thinking somehow he’s not as harsh and inhumane as he seems, but it’s too late,” Clinton said.

The former secretary of state flatly said “No,” when asked in an ABC News interview whether she’d be willing to accept the Mexican president’s invitation to visit the country, as Trump did last week.

“I’m going to continue to focus on what we’re doing to create jobs here at home,” Clinton said.

Trump, meanwhile, addressed his proposed border wall plan in an interview with ABC’s Good Morning America. Trump said the Mexican president violated some “ground rules” by admitting that the two did actually discuss payment of his proposed border wall between the two countries, but added, “that’s OK.”

Obama vows to work to tighten sanctions on North Korea VIENTIANE, Laos (AP) — In the wake of another missile launch, President Barack Obama vowed Tuesday to work with the United Nations to tighten sanctions against North Korea, but added that the U.S. was still open to dialogue if the government changes course.

Obama signaled the U.S. would redouble its effort to choke off North Korea’s access to international currency and technology by tightening loopholes in the current sanctions regime. Obama called the series of ballistic missile

launches “provocations” that flouted international law and would only lead to further isolation.

“We are going to work diligently together with the most recent U.N. sanctions,” Obama told reporters after meeting with South Korean President Park Geun-hye.

“We’re going to work together to make sure we’re closing loopholes and make them even more effective.”

North Korea fired three ballistic missiles off its east coast Monday, a launch that was widely viewed as a show

of force timed to get the attention of world leaders visiting the region for a series of summits. Obama and other heads of state gathered in China over the weekend for the Group of 20 economic summit. Obama went on to the Lao capital for a meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

The U.N. Security Council in late August strongly condemned four North Korean ballistic missile launches in July and August. It called them “grave violations” of a ban on all ballistic missile

activity. Despite the heavy sanctions, North Korea says the programs are justified because of the threat posed by the U.S. and South Korea.

Obama suggested they would continue to push China, North Korea’s chief ally in the region, to use its influence to intervene and to crackdown on North Korea’s use of front companies and other entities to work around the sanctions. Obama raised the issue in his meeting Saturday, deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said.

Sauna Benefits A 20-year Finnish study involving 2,300 men, ages 42 to 60, discovered those who used a dry sauna frequently had a reduced risk of sudden cardiac death. The risk was reduced further the longer (11 minutes or more) and more often they used the sauna.

When men used the sauna 2-3 times a week, risk for heart-related death decreased by 22%. After 4-7 saunas a week, risk dropped 63%.

Researchers say this study doesn’t prove cause-andeffect, just an association. The benefit may be that the sauna is relaxing, reduces stress and increases heart rate similarly to exercising. Check with your doctor regarding what’s right for you.

Phone scammers targeting customers: Know how to ‘Slam the Scam’ Newton Daily News DES MOINES — MidAmerican Energy Company is warning business owners and the public of a phone scam targeting utility customers in Des Moines and surrounding areas.

Last week, approximately 60 customers in the Des Moines area reported receiving a scam call. The majority of the calls targeted small businesses. The scammer claimed to work for MidAmerican Energy and threatened to disconnect service in exchange for payment.

In almost all cases, the scammer requested that the caller pay with a pre-paid debit card, often referred to as a Green Dot card, and provided the call back number of 844-282-0416, which is not MidAmerican Energy’s number. MidAmerican Energy does not accept prepaid debit cards as a way to pay bills, and the company’s phone number is 888-427-5632, which can be found in the phone book or on MidAmerican Energy’s website.

MidAmerican Energy reminds customers not to trust the number given to you by

the scammer or the number on your caller ID. Often, scammers “spoof ” caller ID to make the call appear as if it is coming from MidAmerican Energy when it is not.

This alert comes weeks after MidAmerican Energy launched its Slam the Scam awareness campaign to prevent customers from falling victim to energy scams.

On average, the company receives approximately 100 reported scams each month, and this year, customers have reported losing nearly $9,000 dollars to scammers.

The campaign’s message is

simple: If customers receive a call that sounds like a scam, or if someone suspicious shows up at their business or residence, they should Slam the Scam by hanging up or shutting the door and calling MidAmerican Energy at 888-4275632 and their local police.

To recognize a scam call, customers should know these five tips: • MidAmerican Energy will contact customers several times, including by mail, before disconnection takes place, never just once and threaten immediate disconnection.

• Hang up if the caller insists on immediate payment using a prepaid debit card or Green Dot card.

• Ask to see identification from anyone who shows up at your door. MidAmerican Energy employees carry an employee ID badge at all times.

• Don’t trust the name and number on your caller ID. Use the number published on MidAmerican Energy’s website or in the phone book: 888-427-5632.

• Know what you owe.

Know when you paid your last bill and how much you paid.

Touchdown Dive

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Diving over the goal line is Newton High junior running back Jaron Roush (28) for the first touchdown of the night despite the effort of Waterloo East’s Jacee Clark (1) to tackle Roush short of the end zone. Roush turned a quick pass to the sideline from quarterback Garrett Sturtz into a 29-yard scoring play in the first quarter Friday night at H.A. Lynn Stadium. Newton notched its second win of the young season, 63-0, over the visiting Trojans.

Cardinals overwhelm Waterloo East

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High’s Cardinals scored touchdowns in all three phases of the game — offense, defense and special teams — in a convincing 63-0 win over visiting Waterloo East Friday.

Waterloo East’s Trojans opened the non-district game with two quick first downs, then went backward. Newton’s defensive pressure forced the Trojans to punt with 9:09 left in the first quarter.

The Cardinals brought pressure against the Trojan punting unit, and it paid off.

Newton set up for its first offensive series of the game at

the Waterloo East 29-yard line.

Junior quarterback Garrett Sturtz found junior running back Jaron Roush down the sidelines on a pass play. Roush made the catch, turned to run and then dove across the goal line for the touchdown. The play took 10 seconds.

“We knew they struggled with their punting unit and we took advantage of that. We put pressure on early and got great field position,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said of the short distances for drives by the Cardinals. “We were able to get out quickly on Waterloo East, which is what we wanted. You can’t allow a team with athletes to hang around.”

Newton’s longest scoring drive of the night was 48 yards. The Cardinals used four plays including runs by Sturtz, senior running back Jordan Norvell and Roush and a pass play from Sturtz to junior Trevor Ergenbright to reach the 1-yard line.

Sophomore running back Josh Miler pushed his way up the middle from 1-yard out for the touchdown at the 5:11 mark of the first quarter.

A little bobble of the snap to Sturtz on the extra-point attempt prevented Newton’s Zach Combs from kicking it through the uprights. Newton was up 13-0.

Three plays and another short punt by the Trojans put

the Newton offense back on the field at Waterloo East’s 29-yard line. Roush finished off Newton’s third TD drive with a 3-yard scoring run then added a 2-point conversion run to put the Cardinals up 21-0 with 1:33 left in the opening period.

“We were playing together and executed well tonight,” Sturtz said of the Cardinal offense. “That was our main goal going into the game and we did it perfectly.”

Sturtz was perfect in the passing game, going 4-for-4 and throwing two touchdown passes. The second one came in the second quarter.

Newton had to overcome a couple of penalties to drive

37 yards for its fourth score of the night. On a third-and-13 play, Sturtz hooked up with junior Trevor Ergenbright for an 18-yard scoring strike.

Combs nailed the extra-point kick increasing the Cardinal lead to 28-0 with 8:49 left in the second period.

The Trojans fumbled the ball on the first play of their next possession. Newton senior nose guard Caleb Kite recovered the ball in the end zone, giving the Cardinal defense a score in the game.

Newton’s pressure on the Trojan punting unit paid dividends four plays later.

Raider rally falls short against North Polk Hawks hold Bears late for victory

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

ALLEMAN — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s football team made a valiant effort during a rally against host North Polk on Friday night.

The Raiders were denied a come-frombehind win when the Comet defense sacked CMB senior quarterback Hunter McWhirter on the final play of the game at Comet Field.

CMB rallied from a 15-6 halftime deficit before losing 22-20.

“It was a fun football game. There were a lot of big plays,” CMB coach Rob Luther said. “It was an even ball game, but we aren’t anywhere close to hitting on all cylinders. I was pleased with a lot of things. Everything we saw is fixable.

We are going to be fine.

We just have to keep our minds right.”

The loss drops the Raiders to 0-2, but the real season begins Friday when CMB begins Class 2A District 3 play at Roland-Story.

“If we came up with the touchdown there late, everyone’s mind is completely different,” RAIDERS | 3B

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Brady Kemp can’t get free of North Polk’s Wesley Lesher during the Raiders’ 22-20 loss to the Comets in Alleman on Friday. Kemp finished with six catches for 40 yards in the game.

BROOKLYN — With the game in the balance and timing running out, Lynnville-Sully’s defensive unit dug in as host BGM’s offense got set for a fourth-and-one play inside the Hawk 35-yard line. The Hawk defense stopped the Bears from picking up a first down, took possession of the football and ran out the clock in Friday’s game.

The Class A eighthranked Hawks improved T. Squires to 2-0 with a 20-12 victory over the Bears. The two South Iowa Cedar League foes faced off in a non-district game and played to a scoreless tie in the first half.

“BGM made a game of it scoring with less than two minutes left and recovering an onside kick,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Roozeboom Mike Parkinson said. “Our defense made the play we needed to win the game at the end. BGM was in our territory when we stopped them.”

Parkinson said the first half was a lot of back-and-forth play between the two teams. He said the Hawks were figuring things out.

CMB girls sweep small-school division at Central; PCM, L-S go 2-3

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PELLA — After another team championship Saturday, junior Ashlee Johnson and sophomore Brenna Thomson both said the Raider girls cross country team may have a different leader in every race this season.

Johnson won the first meet of the season at Iowa State, and it was Thomson’s turn Saturday at the annual Central College Dutch Invitational.

The Class 2A No. 9 Raiders brought home four individual medals and the small-school team title after another dominating performance.

Thomson was ninth overall and first among small-school runners on the day, but four teammates came in 2-3-4-5 as CMB swept the small-school scoring with 15 points.

“I was excited to see how well our girls ran at Pella, especially since we think we are heading back to Pella at the end of the season for the statequalifying meet,” CMB coach Jerry Meinerts said. “We took some extra time warming up today, really checking out the course.

“It was nice seeing our top four girls get in the top 20 (all

classes) and earn some tough medals. Ten of our girls also ran season best times on this course.”

There was one high school girls race. The top 20 finishers earned medals. Runners were eventually split up into classes for team scoring purposes.

Thomson’s time of 21:29 was tops among small-school runners. Pella’s Tessa Roorda won the overall title with a time of 20:14.

Raider boys win small-school title; PCM’s Ellens places third overall at Central

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News PELLA — Prairie City-Monroe cross country coach Eric Karr admits he has a hard time wearing down senior Chris Ellens.

No matter how much Karr has Ellens run in practice, his No. 1 runner just doesn’t get tired.

“I cannot make that kid tired. Now it’s a matter of how quick can we get him and how long he can keep his speed for the entire race,” Karr said. “He dropped 30 seconds from the ISU meet, and I think we are at an all-time PR in the second meet of the year.”

That all-time personal-record time was 17 minutes, 22 seconds, and that was good enough for a third-place finish at the annual Central College Dutch Invitational on Saturday.

The top 20 individual finishers earned medals. The meet was broken up into two classes, and Ellens’ time was good for the small-school win.

“I feel really good. I am already a minute faster than my times last year,” Ellens said.

“The hard work and training

in the summer helped me get there.”

C ollins-Maxwell/Baxter won the small-school team title. The Raiders scored 37 points and cleared Pella Christian by 17 points. Montezuma was third with 90 points, while

PCM (99) finished fourth, BGM (117) was fifth and Lynnville-Sully (118) rounded out the six-team field.

“Our boys are progressing well. The season is still young, but these guys posted some good times today, with 12 ath-

letes improving their times from ISU,” CMB coach Jerry Meinerts said.

CMB sophomore Ian Thomson also earned an individual medal. He finished 16th overall with a time of 18:04.

Only Ellens bested him among small-school runners.

“I feel pretty good so far this year,” Thomson said. “I wanted to beat Chris Ellens. I wanted to keep it within 15 seconds of him at least. He’s running well though.”

The Raiders won the team title over Pella Christian because freshman Logan Berg and junior Carter Fricke joined Thomson in the topfive. Berg was fourth among small-school runners with a time of 18:28, while Fricke was next in 18:50.

“It’s amazing. We wanted to win it today. This should give us some confidence for the rest of the year,” Thomson said.

After Ellens for PCM was freshman Jason Stafford, who finished 10th in 19:39. Lynnville-Sully’s top runner was sophomore Ty Breeden, who crossed the line in 19th with a time of 20:45.

Raiders: Slow start dooms CMB football against rival Comets Continued from Page 1B completely different,” Luther said. “It’s frustrating, but it’s all about district play for me. We play to win, but these two were finding out about ourselves and how we can get better.”

The Raiders trailed at halftime but rallied in the second half behind a big rushing night from senior Blake Coughenour.

Tucker Maxwell also scored two receiving touchdowns, while Jason Hillgren led the defense 7.5 tackles.

CMB senior Caleb Van Zante brought down Chase Russell shy of the first-down marker on fourth-and-2 at midfield to give the Raiders one last chance to win the game.

The Raiders started at their own 46yard line with 1:31 to play. Two pass completions from McWhirter to Maxwell and Brady Kemp gave CMB a pair of first downs, and then another 11-yard pass to Kemp got the Raiders inside the 20-yard line.

The next two plays went as incompletions. Maxwell gained 6 yards on third down but couldn’t get out of bounds.

A false start penalty pushed the Raiders back even further. North Polk blitzed on fourth down and sacked McWhirter on the final play.

One of those two incomplete passes thrown by McWhirter on the final drive was intended for Kemp. Luther thought his senior tight end was pulled down to the ground on the play. The official did not see it that way. Kemp was called for offensive pass interference earlier in the game.

“It doesn’t come down to one play, but if you are going to call offensive pass interference in the same corner for a push off then you have to call it when the defender has a hold of our guy’s jersey,” Luther said.

“We can’t put ourselves in that position.

We have to own it before that point.”

Coughenour finished with 168 rushing yards and one touchdown and also had 44 receiving yards on three catches.

Maxwell led the receivers with four catches, 61 yards and two scores. Kemp had six catches for 40 yards.

Maxwell’s first TD came on a 19-yard pass from junior Braydon Aker in the first half.

Aker finished 4-for-8 for 70 yards, one touchdown and one interception, while McWhirter was 10-of-14 for 80 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

McWhirter missed last week’s game with an injury suffered during baseball season. He played one defensive series at linebacker in the first half Friday before playing every snap at quarterback in the second half.

“Hunter was itching to play. He just hasn’t had very many reps in practice,” Luther said. “I thought he ran hard and made some nice throws. We haven’t forgotten about (Aker). We may use a two quarterbacks because we’ll need McWhirter on defense, too.”

Both teams turned the ball over in the first quarter. The Comets turned Aker’s interception into points.

Ben Rupe jumped in front of a Raider receiver, and his return set up the Comets at the CMB 38-yard line.

Anthony Capaldo connected three times with Adam Moxley on the drive to get North Polk into the red zone. The seven-play drive ended with a Russell 1-yard touchdown run. A penalty on the

point after allowed North Polk to add two points to its total, and the Comets led 8-0 early in the second quarter.

The Raiders came right back with a score of their own. Runs of 36 and 27 yards by Coughenour helped CMB move into scoring position.

The eight-play drive concluded when Aker threw a 19-yard dart on the run to Maxwell in the back of the end zone.

With a two-point lead, North Polk ended the first-half scoring with a 13-play, 74-yard drive to go up 15-6 at the break.

The drive by the Comets included a 26yard pass play from Capaldo to Rupe on fourth and three.

The 11-yard TD pass to Rupe came on third down.

The Raiders scored on their first drive of the second half. McWhirter converted on third down when he rumbled 14 yards, and then Coughenour went for 30 more on the next play. He scored from 3 yards out to end the five-play, 53-yard drive.

“We came back in the second half with a lot more determination,” Luther said.

“We started making things happen and then we turned it over a couple times to lose momentum.”

CMB forced North Polk into a threeand-out on its next possession, but the Raiders turned it over deep in their own territory when McWhirter fumbled a handoff.

The Raiders dodged a bullet though when Maxwell recovered a Comet fumble in the end zone.

North Polk scored on its next possession when Russell went in from 6 yards out. That made it 22-14 late in the third.

The offensive pass interference call on Kemp came on the Raiders’ next possession. Kemp caught the pass on the play, but CMB turned it over on the next play when Wesley Lesher picked off McWhirter.

Hawks Continued from Page 1B The Hawks broke the deadlock with a 4-yard touchdown run by quarterback Elijah Collins at the 8:18 mark of the third quarter. Collins hooked up with Corey McCoy on a 16yard scoring strike four minutes later.

The Bears scored in the fourth quarter on a 37-yard scamper to the end zone by senior quarterback Jayce Knight.

BGM missed the extra-point kick, making it 13-6 with 9:28 left in the game.

Lynnville-Sully responded with a scoring drive capped on a 1-yard touchdown plunge by Gage Vander Leest.

Brevin Hansen kicked his second extra point of the night for the Hawks to put Lynnville-Sully up 20-6 as the game clocked showed 2:46 remaining to play.

Bears a 2-point conversion run leaving it 20-12.

The Bears recovered the onside kick and was working toward the Hawks’ end zone.

Lynnville-Sully’s defense made one final stand.

“Our defensive and offensive lines played phenomenal.

We owned the line of scrimmage all night. We gave up two big plays, but BGM’s quarterback is a tremendous athlete,” Parkinson said. “We played sound defense and our offense did a good job of doing what we needed to do to win.”

The Hawks rushed for 222 yards as a team on 62 carries.

Their defense held the Bears to 56 yards on the round on 33 carries.

Parkinson said for the offense it started up front with

CMB forced another three-and-out defensively to get the ball back to the offense. A big Coughenour return allowed CMB to start the drive on the Comets 29yard line.

That three-play drive ended with a McWhirter TD pass to Maxwell. The senior wideout was wide open on the play.

The Comets tried to run out the clock on their final possession. They decided to go for it instead of punt on fourth down, and that’s when Van Zante stopped Russell behind the line of scrimmage.

“That was a huge play. I was surprised they didn’t punt it there,” Luther said.

Even though the Raiders came up short on their final drive, Luther was happy his team got into a position to win the game.

“We got lucky because we spiked it on fourth down after we got called for a penalty so we probably shouldn’t have had another fourth-down play,” Luther said.

“I am just glad we had those opportunities. We can’t replicate that kind of stuff in practice.”

The Raider defense held Russell to 57 yards on 20 carries, but Capaldo threw for 175 yards and one touchdown.

CMB had more total yards (307 to 261) and more first downs (22 to 9), but three turnovers were too much to overcome.

Friday’s game against Roland-Story kicks off at 7:30 p.m. in Story City.

senior linemen Trevor Squires and Dylan Roozeboom. Jesse Van Wyk anchors the line at center and Aaron Van De Krol and Rylan James filled out the offensive line. Parkinson said senior tight end Ryan Hofer was asked to do a lot of blocking in the game and he responded well.

Sage Zylstra led the rushing attack for the Hawks with 98 yards on 19 carries. Evan Squires had 83 yards on 16 carries. Collins was 5-of-13 passing for 60 yards after taking over at quarterback for Tyler Van Zante, who went out of the game with an injury.

Six different receivers caught a pass for Lynnville-Sully. McCoy had one catch for the TD then Drake Ehresman had a 20-yard reception and Nate Stock had a 13-yard reception.

Hofer was credited with nine tackles for the Hawks.

McCoy had six tackles and one quarterback sack. Van Wyk had five tackles. Vander Leest was credited with a quarterback sack.

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Sept. 6, 2016 Sports Wadley runs No. 17 Iowa to win over Miami (Ohio)

4B |

IOWA CITY (AP) — No. 17 Iowa’s backfield tandem of Akrum Wadley and LeShun Daniels looked spectacular in its opener.

The same couldn’t be said for the Hawkeyes defense, which looked lost at times against a Mid-American Conference opponent that won just three games last season.

Wadley ran for 121 yards and two touchdowns, Daniels added 83 yards rushing and two scores, and Iowa beat Miami (Ohio) 45-21 on Saturday.

The speedy Wadley and the more powerful Daniels did their damage on just 22 carries, a promising sign for a program that prefers to set the tone offensively on the ground.

“With LeShun splitting the carries and that line we’re running behind, it makes it so much easier. You could probably run through that, with the line we’ve got.” Wadley said, joking with a reporter.

Senior C.J. Beathard was 13-of-20 passing for 192 yards and a touchdown for the Hawkeyes (1-0), whose sloppy defensive play in the second half let Miami hang around.

Iowa played much of the game without star linebacker Josey Jewell, who was ejected early in the first quarter for targeting.

Jewell nailed Matt Merimee with a viscous helmet to helmet hit.

Daniels and Wadley each scored twice in the first half, and Jerminic Smith’s 12yard TD reception put the Hawkeyes ahead 35-7 early in the third quarter.

The RedHawks (0-1) had touchdown drives of 75 and 74 yards with the game seemingly in hand before Derrick Mitchell Jr.’s touchdown run with 3:08 left put Iowa ahead by 24.

“Our run defense was not what it needs to be (Saturday),” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said of Miami, which ran for 158 yards. “When people can move the ball on the ground, it can be a little bit demoralizing.”

Billy Bahl threw for 266 yards and two TDs for Miami, which outgained Iowa 424-404.

The Takeaway Iowa: The Hawkeyes’ defense gave up a ton of yards without star linebacker Jewell, who was ejected early in the first quarter for targeting.

The Hawkeyes forced and recovered two fumbles though.

Miami: Bahl had a strong day against one of the Big Ten’s better secondaries. The RedHawks will need more days like that from him as they look to work back into contention in the Mid-American after just five wins in two years.

But Miami’s defense, as expected, was pushed around by

the more physical Hawkeyes.

Iowa averaged eight yards a play.

Poll Implications Iowa’s ranking won’t likely move much. The Hawkeyes looked like a team ranked No. 17, with flashes of brilliant play on offense and plenty of questions to be answered on defense.

Notables Iowa: The Hawkeyes decision to use Desmond King, the 2015 Thorpe Award win-

ner as the nation’s top defensive back, on punt returns paid off in the opener. King had 85 yards on three returns — despite having a long run off a punt called back because of the penalty that saw Jewell get booted. ... Iowa turned to true freshman quarterback Nathan Stanley in garbage time, burning a possible redshirt season. It’s likely a sign that the Hawkeyes coaching staff, which has veered from

its traditional ways in the past 18 months, has high hopes for Stanley.

Miami: Maurice Thomas ran for 60 yards on just nine carries and Alonzo Smith had 58 yards. ... The RedHawks held the ball for nearly 37 minutes, wearing out Iowa’s defense in the process. ... Miami converted on both of its fourth-down tries and was a respectable 5-of-11 on third downs.

McIlroy answers big questions in winning Deutsche Bank NORTON, Mass. (AP) — Rory McIlroy has built a record that would seem to make him immune from too much skepticism about his game.

He already had four majors at age 25, including the U.S. Open scoring record (268) and the largest margin of victory (eight shots) in the PGA Championship. In the 30 years of the world ranking, Tiger Woods, Greg Norman and Nick Faldo are the only players who have spent more time at No. 1 than McIlroy.

Over the long Labor Day weekend, McIlroy managed to answer three big questions.

He had a reputation for playing his best golf in pristine conditions, strange for a kid who grew up in Northern Ireland.

But when the TPC Boston was at its most dangerous in 40 mph gusts as Hermine headed out to the Atlantic, he made seven birdies and closed with a 6-under 65 to make up a sixshot deficit and win the Deutsche Bank Championship.

“Wow, very impressive. Yeah, that’s a mighty round of golf,” said Paul Casey, who had to settle for a runner-up finish.

Worse yet, McIlroy had a tendency to lose the will to battle when he was falling too far behind. That opportunity presented itself early in the first round, when McIlroy had to make a 15-foot putt to salvage triple bogey and already was 4-over-par just three holes into the tournament.

He played the next 15 holes in 4 under to get back to even par, which contributed mightily to his 20th victory worldwide.

“I don’t know if I quit, but I definitely let my shoulders slump and let my head drop,” McIlroy said. “I’ve just not been as positive about the situation as I could have been. It’s happened to me many times before, but I think you learn with experience and a little bit more maturity that it’s four-round golf tournaments. It’s a long time.

There’s a lot that can happen, and I proved that to myself this week.”

He shot 67 in the second round, then ended his third round with a 3-iron that caught the lip of the cup on the par-5 18th hole, settling for a tap-in

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton freshman quarterback Kyle Long (12) calls a play in the huddle late in Friday’s home game against Waterloo West. Newton won 26-18.

eagle and a 66. And then he went one shot better in the final round, a 65 that matched Adam Scott for the best score of the final round.

McIlroy set up three birdies with his short game. He made three more over a five-hole stretch around the turn by making big putts, and he closed out his first PGA Tour victory of the year with a fearless 3-wood into the wind and over the hazard that landed harmless in the right bunker for a simple upand-down.

The third answer was his putter, and still to be determined is how long this fix will last.

Good form doesn’t last forever. Good putting can have an even shorter shelf life.

Even so, his struggles with the putter are a big reason McIlroy plunged from No. 1 in the world nearly one year ago to No. 5, removing him from the recent “Big 3” conversation and at times making him an afterthought.

He putted so poorly at the PGA Championship, where he missed the cut last month, that he sought help. It took him to Phil Kenyon, a British putting guru who works with Henrik Stenson and Louis Oosthuizen, and who was working with Justin Rose a month before Rose won the gold medal in Rio. He also changed away from the Nike putter to a Scotty Cameron mallet last week, and while he was toward the bottom

of the pack at The Barclays, he was among the top putters at the TPC Boston.

McIlroy likes Kenyon because he doesn’t teach a specific technique, only principles that each player can adapt as he sees fit. McIlroy made one tweak all on his own, moving his right hand more on top of the grip to make sure the face of the putter didn’t open.

This was not about relief of winning for the first time since the Irish Open in May, or for the first time on the PGA Tour since the Wells Fargo Championship in May 2015. He was excited about where he was headed. He went up to No. 3 in the world.

His colleagues sounded a little less excited.

“A few putts go your way, get a little bit of confidence, start rolling them in, start feeling good about yourself. Over the last few days, he’s obviously playing pretty well. And if he gets hot on the greens ...,” Jason Day said, not needing to finish the sentence.

Adam Scott knows what it’s like to be scrutinized for putting, and he referred to McIlroy as “Teflon coated” because he doesn’t let the criticism stick.

“He just waits ... and he kept doing his thing,” Scott said.

“And this week he’s found some magic in his fingers or something and he’s holing everything. It’s a very nice way to be.

I hope he can keep doing that his whole career.”

Cardinal freshmen rally to beat Trojans

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Scoring 10 points in the final 6:30 minutes of Friday’s game, Newton High’s freshman football team wiped a two-point deficit and won its second contest of the season.

“The boys deserve a lot of credit for overcoming a lot of adversity to find a way to win the game,” NHS freshman head coach Trent Powers said.

“They never dropped their heads, and they continued to battle despite six turnovers.”

The Cardinals allowed a 16-6 first-quarter lead slip away. They trailed visiting Waterloo East 1816 at halftime. Following a scoreless third quarter, Newton pushed down the field for a go-ahead touchdown.

Dylan Farver scored the touchdown with 6:36 on the game clock. Logan Cummins ran his second 2-point conversion of the night to put Newton up 24-18.

Three plays later, the Cardinals added the final two points of the game.

Destin Schroder, who had four tackles for the Newton defense, blocked a Trojan punt, resulting

in a safety. Newton won 26-18.

In the first quarter, Newton got a rushing touchdown from William Cheng and a defensive touchdown. Cody Hamilton forced a Trojan fumble, which was recovered in the end zone by Cody Satterfield. Cummins had a 2-point conversion run.

Cummins finished with 147 yards on 15 carries for Newton. Farver racked up 105 yards on 10 rushes. Jeremiah Johnson rushed for 64 yards on eight carries, and Cheng had 33 yards on four carries.

Lyle Long was 1-of-5 passes, a 4-yard toss to Cummins.

Hamilton led Newton’s defense with 13 tackles.

Lane Bach recorded 10 tackles and two quarterback sacks. Antonio Usry had five tackles and one quarterback sack.

“We’re happy with the outcome, but we need to clean up some things before our next game,” Powers said.

The Cardinals are 2-0.

They play at 4:45 p.m. Friday at Des Moines North.

Serena Williams overtakes Federer for most Slam match wins NEW YORK (AP) — Serena Williams now owns more victories in Grand Slam matches than anyone else in tennis’ Open era, surpassing Roger Federer with her 308th.

So, Serena, who’ll wind up with more?

“I don’t know. We’ll see,” Williams said during her oncourt interview after reaching the U.S. Open quarterfinals by beating Yaroslava Shvedova 6-2, 6-3 on Monday. “Hopefully we’ll both keep going,” she added. “I know I plan on it. I know he does.”

Federer turned 35 on Aug. 8. Williams turns 35 on Sept.

26.

Williams’ very first win at a Grand Slam tournament came way back when she was 16, a 6-7 (5-7), 6-3, 6-1 victory over Irina Spirlea in the first round of the Australian Open on Jan. 19, 1998. Williams’ first loss at a major came in her next match, which happened to come against older sister Venus.

Nearly two decades later, through plenty of highs and lows, from championships

to health scares, the younger Williams is still at it — and still winning.

“It’s a huge number,” she said about getting to 308. “I think it’s very significant, actually. I think it’s something that just really talks about the length of my career, in particular. I’ve been playing for a really long time.”

Although her 36-year-old sibling is active, many of Williams’ contemporaries have come and gone, including Justine Henin and Kim Clijsters, who are both younger, and

Martina Hingis, who is only a year older.

Over her career, she is 30842 at the majors, for a winning percentage of .880.

Williams still has work to do at Flushing Meadows as she pursues another mark: most Grand Slam singles titles in the Open era, which began in 1968. She pulled even with Steffi Graf by collecting her 22nd trophy at Wimbledon in July.

Against the 52nd-ranked Shvedova, Williams hit a tournament-leading 126 mph

serve, totaled 11 aces, won 28 of 30 points when a first serve landed in, and didn’t face a break point. So far, through four matches, Williams has not been broken at all, facing only a single break point.

Williams has reached at least the quarterfinals in each of her past nine appearances at the U.S. Open. A year ago, she was stunned in the semifinals by Roberta Vinci, ending the American’s bid to become the first player since Graf in 1988 with a calendar-year Grand Slam.

Girls Continued from Page 2B was fifth overall in the smallschool race but fell shy of a medal.

“I went out way too quick,” Johnson said. “Brenna was out front so at that point, I just started thinking about the team, and how we could win the team race.”

It was the second straight team title for the Raiders, who also won the small-school division title at Iowa State back on Aug. 25.

Jungling was the first Mustang to cross the finish line.

She was sixth among small school runners with a time of 23:43, while sophomores Paytan Schut (23:53) and Megan Townley (24:06) were next in seventh and eighth, respectively.

“She has come up to the front pack slow and steadily in practice,” PCM coach Eric Karr said of Jungling. “I talked to her after the race, and I told her to keep the confidence. I don’t care if she’s a freshman. She is allowed to be our fastest runner if that’s what she is.”

PCM did not have services of senior Jayci Vos, who missed the meet due to a concussion. Junior Baylee Smith and senior Rachel Stafford both competed under the weather, too.

Vos passed her concussion test but now is going through the protocol. Smith went home sick from school Friday but still wanted to run.

“Every team has things like that they deal with so it’s not an excuse,” Karr said. “I think we are ahead of where we want to be. Practices are looking amazing. It’s only a matter of time before it starts to show up in a meet.”

Lynnville-Sully’s top runner was freshman Abby Gru-

ver, who crossed the line 10th among small school runners in 24:19. Junior Christine Nikkel was 11th in 24:27.

Gilbert won the largeschool team title with 39 points, while Pella (57) and North Polk (69) finished second and third, respectively.

Pella is ranked No. 1 in 3A, while Gilbert came into the meet ranked fourth in 3A. North Polk is a “team to watch” in 3A, too.

The final two varsity finishers for the Raiders were senior Anna Jones and freshman Holly Jessen. Jones was ninth overall in 24:11, while Jessen was 3 seconds ahead of senior teammate Winter Brown in 13th. Jessen finished in 24:34.

“I was glad that we ran

Boys Continued from Page 2B Gilbert won the large-school team title with 47 points. The Tigers were 11 points ahead of Mount Pleasant, and Pella (97) finished third.

The overall race winner was Mount Pleasant’s Logan Murray, who finished in 16:42. Former PCM runner Blaise Winegardner, now a junior at Pella, was second in 16:56.

Winegardner qualified for the state meet his freshman season when

with the big schools as well because our girls really wanted to run against some of the 3A schools in our conference to see how we stack up against them,” Meinerts said.

The rest of PCM’s varsity included junior Ellie Steenhoek, sophomore Kristin Ives, Smith and sophomore Morgan Uhlenhopp. Steenhoek was 12th in 24:28, Ives came in 15th in 25:04, Smith finished 17th in 25:20 and Uhlenhopp crossed the line in 24th with a time of 26:24.

Ives, new to the sport, was PCM’s second-best finisher at ISU last week. Karr wants to emphasize to his runners that “sometimes you just have your best time.”

“She said she didn’t have it

he was at PCM. “My goal was to beat Blaise,” Ellens said. “He used to be my teammate. It’s good to have some good competition to run with.”

After the top three of Thomson, Berg and Fricke, CMB got an 11th-place finish from junior Max Van Maanen, while sophomore Josh Bruntz crossed in 15th.

The non-scoring varsity runners were junior Noah Rhoades was 18th and freshman Carter Davis finished 30th.

Van Maanen stopped the clock

Troy Hyde/Daily News Lynnville-Sully junior Josh Dunsbergen, center, finished 23rd overall among runners in the small-school division at the Central College Dutch Invitational on Saturday in Pella.

today, and that’s fine,” Karr said of Ives. “If she gave it her best, then I am OK with that. That’s how cross country works sometimes.”

The rest of the Lynnville-Sully’s varsity, after Gruver and Nikkel, were sophomore Emily Van Gorp, junior Hailey Scandridge, junior Haley Breeden and junior Lydia Akergren. Van Gorp was 21st overall in 25:36, Scandridge crossed in 27th with a time of 26:49 and Breeden was 28th in 27:03. Akergren ended up 32nd with a time of 27:26.

“When we look at times today compared to Tuesday at Williamsburg, we’ll see some who were faster today and some who weren’t,” L-S coach Darin Arkema said. “I want

in 19:45, Bruntz crossed in 20:17, Rhoades hit the line in 20:31 and Davis finished in 21:28.

“It’s been a while since our boys team has finished first as a team, so we are obviously pleased with the outcome,” Meinerts said.

PCM’s third runner was junior Caleb Peter, who finished 27th overall with a time of 21:21. Freshman Jacob Cox ended up 31st in 21:37, and the final scoring runner was freshman Owen Hugen, who was 33rd in 22:00.

The final two varsity runners were junior Brady North (34th) and senior Mark Bruxvoort (35th).

“It’s a young team that is willing to work. They are working hard at meets and hanging in there at practices,” Karr said of his boys team.

Breeden was the top Hawk finisher, but junior Josh Dunsbergen was 23rd in 20:59, senior John Trettin finished 25th in 21:19 followed by senior Luke Jones (21:20) in 26th, junior Cody Gibbs (21:24) in 28th, senior Jim Trettin in 45th and senior Derik Albee in 52nd.

“Our top five were a pretty close pack together,” L-S coach Darin Arkema said. “I think this may be the case all season and could really become our strength as they work to push each other. This needs to be the focus at practice each day in order for all of them to be as successful as possible.”

them to consider how the race went, how they felt racing, where they were strong or felt weak, where they placed relative to opponents we’ve previously raced against, etc.

“By looking at the big picture, this will help them find positives from each race as well as what to keep working on, while also building confidence and motivation for the season. I’m confident with the work I am seeing from this group, that they will continue to see improvement.”

Area runners finished in the first 17 small-school positions.

Northern Iowa rallies to beat Iowa State AMES (AP) — Iowa State coach Matt Campbell arrived in Ames promising to change a culture accustomed to losing.

Campbell’s debut ended with a crushing defeat that looked like so many the Cyclones have suffered in the past.

Aaron Bailey threw for 135 yards, ran for 114 more and had two touchdowns as Northern Iowa rallied to beat Iowa State 25-20 on Saturday and spoil Campbell’s first game with the Cyclones.

UNI’s J’Veyon Browning scored from 1-yard out with 2:49 left after a Joel Lanning interception, putting the Panthers ahead by five.

Cyclones running back Mike Warren fumbled it right back to Northern Iowa, and Lanning’s final pick with 1:10 left sealed what could hardly be considered an upset for Northern Iowa.

“It’s really hard for us right now to play behind the chains.

We have to have the ability to play in positive situations.

When you’re not in those, you start pressing and then turnovers and those things happen like they did in the second half,” Campbell said.

Lanning finished with 256 yards passing, three touchdowns and those two costly interceptions.

The Panthers scored touchdowns after an Iowa State safety, fumble and interception in beating the Cyclones for the second time since 2013.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B A pair of juniors teamed up for a score as Grayson Graham blocked the punt and Blayden Rhone picked up the ball and scored from 2-yards out.

“I’m so excited. It was my first touchdown,” Rhone said after the game. “We were just going for the block, and Grayson made the block. I was there to scoop and score.”

Waterloo East junior running back Tyrell Gordon busted out of containment on an apparent 75-yard touchdown run on the Trojans’ next possession. The score was wiped out on a holding penalty against the Trojans. The Trojans never reached Newton territory again until the final play of the game.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Northern Iowa running back Tyvis Smith, right, gained 68 yards rushing and added another 44 yards receiving in the Panthers’ 25-20 win over Iowa State on Saturday at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames. Smith was taken down by ISU’s JaQuan Bailey (19) on this play.

The Takeaway Iowa State: The Cyclones reworked and inexperienced offensive line, down a starter to suspension, looked shaky

at best in its first performance.

Iowa State couldn’t get their ground game going, as Warren had only 30 yards on 12 carries.

That left the Cyclones unable to

sustain drives, which kept its defense on the field longer than it needed to be. Iowa State also was killed by penalties, nine for 89 yards, which wiped out big

Newton’s defense had 11 tackles for loss in the game and two quarterback sacks. Waterloo East finished with 142 yards rushing and no yards in the passing game. Andrew Mora had 108 yards rushing and 75 of it came on the final play of the game. Mora broke loose and almost scored.

“We switched some guys around this week. They put Joe and I at outside linebackers and I thought it worked well. We’re (Newton’s defense) the swarm.”

Joe Busch, a junior linebacker, led the Newton defense with six solo tackles and one assisted tackles. Senior inside linebacker Reese Rosenquist racked up six solo tackles — four were for losses.

Rhone had four solo tackles and two quarterback sacks.

Senior linebacker Brady

Smith had three solo stops and two assisted tackles. Recovering fumbles for the Cardinals were Kite, senior Reed Shepard and sophomore Aaron Bartels.

It was the first shutout by a Newton varsity team since 2012. Waterloo East lost its 30th game in a row.

Leading 42-0 at halftime, Newton was able to rotate in players throughout the game.

Coach Ergenbright said it was great to get everybody playing time.

“At halftime, we talked about keeping up our level of execution and keeping it going throughout second half,” Sturtz said. “We came out and Jaron had the good runback to kickstart the second half for us.”

Roush found the end zone for the third time in the game as he returned the second half

kickoff 79 yards for a touchdown. Combs, who kicked seven extra-points on the night, booted the ball through the uprights to push the lead to 49-0.

Senior Logan Zibert scored his first touchdowns for Newton back-to-back in a 2-minute span late in the third quarter. Zibert finished with 56 yards on six carries. Roush had 43 yards on five carries.

“It was a great opportunity for the younger guys to get playing time and some experience, which will help us later in the season,” Sturtz said.

“We’re on the road next week.

We’ll celebrate tonight then let it go. We’ll move on to the next game at Des Moines North, which will give us a tough test.”

Newton’s offense rolled up 228 yards on the ground and had 67 yards passing. Ergenbright caught three passes for

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior linebacker Brady Smith, left, wraps up Waterloo East running back Tyrell Gordon (9) for little or no gain during the first half of Friday’s game at Newton’s H.A. Lynn Stadium. The Cardinal defense kept Gordon and the Trojan offense in check, winning 63-0.

gains by its offense. “It makes it hard for an offensive line when you’re second and 20 and third and 20. We put our offensive line in some really tough spots and that hurt those guys,” Campbell said. Lanning made three big throws for TDs, but his inexplicable fourth-quarter interceptions cost the Cyclones dearly.

Northern Iowa: The Panthers entered play ranked fifth in the FCS — and they showed why they’ll likely be a national title contender. Northern Iowa made the Cyclones pay for their mistakes and made the plays down the stretch that their FBS rivals couldn’t.

Notables Iowa State: Cyclones wide receiver Allen Lazard was brilliant in a losing cause. He had six catches for 129 yards and a 33-yard TD reception that, had Iowa State not caved in crunch time, could have been the game-winning grab. ... Tackle Julian Good-Jones was suspended for the game for violating team rules. Even though he’s just a redshirt freshman, the Cyclones could’ve used the help. ... Receiver Hakeem Butler’s first career catch was a one-hander from 18 yards out that went for a touchdown.

Northern Iowa: Tyvis Smith rushed for 68 yards on 17 carries and caught five passes for 43 more. ... Punter Sam Kuhter averaged 44 yards on eight tries, pinning Iowa State inside its own 20 on three of them.

38 yards.

“I’m really pleased with our guys’ effort. I love coaching these guys. They show up wanting to put in the work and wanting to do well,” Ergenbright said.

“Games get a great deal tougher from here on out. This team can improve. We have some kids nicked up who we need to get healthy to continue to win.”

Newton was without starting running back Josh Miravalles and starting defensive end Jaise Gulling Friday. Several other players are among the walking wounded for the Trojans and Ergenbright wasn’t to get players healthy again.

Newton (2-0) has its first road game Friday against Des Moines North (2-0). The varsity game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. at Des Moines North’s stadium.
