NCSD selects legislative priorities

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News The Dark Knight, of the Iowa League of Heroes, poses with Leisa Zylstra of Skiff Medical Center at Wednesday’s annual United Way of Jasper County kickoff meeting. This year’s fundraising theme for UWJC is “Be Heroic, Live United.”

United Way kicks off 2016-17 campaign

A few days before the Iowa Assembly’s 2016 session began, the Newton Community School District Board of Education was briefed on K-12 topics that were likely to be discussed in the Legislature.

As with most sessions, public educators got some of the things they sought from the Legislature, but not nearly all. The Iowa Association of School Boards puts together a list of legislative priorities each year. At a recent meeting, the NCSD board picked out four of the IASB’s 33 resolutions for 2017 that are especially important to Newton.

The board chose, by consensus, IASB resolutions numbered 2, 21, 27 and 28. Those four resolutions address preserving and extending the statewide penny sales tax for school infrastructure, standards and accountability, supplemental state aid and opposition to unfunded mandates.

The current penny-tax provision is set to “sunset” in 2029. A proposal unveiled by Gov. Terry Branstad at the start of last year’s session calls for only the first $10 million of new penny-tax revenue to go to schools each year, with the rest going toward water quality programs, in exchange for extending the sunset to the year 2049.

Theme is ‘Be Heroic, Live United’

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Before United Way of Jasper County Executive Director Jessica Lowe handed out donation collection materials at Wednesday’s annual campaign kickoff luncheon, it was important everyone in the room take an oath.

Lowe was assisted in leading about 25 UWJC board members, partner agency representatives and campaign coordinators in taking the oath with the best possible individual — Batman.

A member of the Iowa League of Heroes, dressed as “The Dark Knight,” helped Lowe extol the United Way’s causes, which range from

help with health or food security needs to assistance with home heating costs.

And the oath, in step with Wednesday’s lighthearted meeting, ended with “I solemnly swear that if I win the Powerball, I’ll donate half Lowe of my winnings to the United Way of Jasper County.”

There were other humorous moments as Lowe explained the more serious needs of Jasper County residents, of whom 33 percent receive at least one service funded through the United Way. The purpose of Wednesday’s luncheon was to help

4 things to know from the city’s goal setting session

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Newton City Council along with city staff participated in a goal setting session on Wednesday.

The workshop was led

by Jeff Schott, director at the Institute of Public Affairs at the University of Iowa, and focused on reviewing accomplishments, issues and concerns and commitments in the city in recent years along with new programs, projects and initiatives for the coming years. Here a four things to know from the meeting.

1. The city’s accom-

plishments identified over the last few years include street c o n struction Schott projects, installation of stop signs at many uncontrolled intersections, multiple road repairs, creation of the Main Street Micro Grant program, expanded employment and growth of local employers, construction of new homes through the GOALS | 3A

introduce board members and representatives of partner agencies to each other and to hand out packets with information on the annual campaign.

The goal for the 2016 campaign was $330,000, and UWJC nearly met its goal, garnering $305,000.

The $330,000 mark will be the goal again for 2017.

“I really do appreciate everyone’s help,” Lowe told everyone at the luncheon. “Remember, almost all of our donations stay local — we send 1 cent to United Way Worldwode, and the rest goes right back to agencies and organizations here in Jasper County.”

Submitted Image Suicide is the eighth leading cause of death in the United States, and there are many risk factors to be aware of such as depression or other mental disorders, substance abuse disorders and family history of mental health disorder or substance abuse.

Suicide Awareness Suicide does not discriminate.

People of all genders, ages and ethnicities can be at risk for suicide.

But people most at risk tend to share certain characteristics.

There are many risk factors for suicide such as depression or other mental disorders, or substance abuse disorders, prior suicide attempt, family history of mental health disorder or substance abuse, family history of suicide, family violence physical and sexual abuse and being exposed to others suicidal behavior such as that of family members, peers or media figures.

The risk for suicidal behavior is complex.

Research suggests people who attempt suicide differ from others in many aspects of how they think, react to events and make decisions.

There are differences in aspects of memory, attention, planning and emotion. These differences often occur along with disorders like depression, substance abuse, anxiety and psychosis. Sometimes suicidal behavior is triggered by events such as personal loss or violence.

In order to be able to detect those at risk and prevent suicide, it is crucial that we understand the role of recent life events.

The most common underlying disorder is depression, 30 to 70 percent of suicide victims suffer from major depression or bipolar (manic-depressive) disorder.

Many people have some of these risk factors but do not attempt suicide. Suicide is not a normal response to stress. It is however a sign of extreme distress, not a harmless bid for attention.

Warning signs to watch for of someone considering suicide • Verbal suicide threats such as

“you’d be better off without me” or “Maybe I won’t be around.”

People who talk about suicide, threaten suicide, or call suicide crisis centers are 30 times more likely than the average to kill themselves.

• Expressions of hopelessness or helplessness, previous suicide attempts, daring or risk taking behavior, personality changes, depression, giving away prized possessions, lack of interest in future plans. Eight out of 10 considering suicide give some sign of their intentions.

If you think someone is considering suicide • Trust your instincts that the person may be in trouble, talk with the person about your concerns, communication needs to include listening, ask direct questions without being judgmental, determine if the person has a specific plan to carry out the suicide. The more detailed the plan, the greater the risk.

• Get professional help, even if the person resists.

• Do not leave the person alone, do not swear to secrecy, and do not act shocked or judgmental, do not try to counsel the person yourself.

Facts Suicide is the eighth leading cause of death in the United States.

Thirty-thousand Americans die from suicide each year; an additional 500,000 Americans attempt suicide annually. Thirty to 40 percent of persons who complete suicide have made a previous attempt. The risk of completed suicide is more than 100 times greater than average in the first year after an attempt. 80 times greater for women, 200 times greater for men, 200 times greater for people over 45, and 300 times greater for white men over 65. Substance abuse is another great instigator of suicide.

About 20 percent of suicides

The Newton American Legion

involve people with alcohol problems, and the lifetime rate of suicide among people with alcohol use problems is at least three to four times the average. Completed suicides are more likely to be men older than 40 who are depressed or alcoholic. Preventing Suicide 64 percent of people who attempt suicide visit a doctor in the month before their attempt and 38 percent in the week before.

Treatment No single therapeutic approach is suitable for all people considering suicide or suicidal tendencies.

The most common ways to treat underlying illnesses associated with suicide are with medication, talk therapy or a combination of the two.

Cognitive (talk therapy) and behavioral (changing behavior) therapies aim at relieving the despair of suicidal patients by showing them other solutions to their problems and new ways to think about themselves and their world.

Recent research strongly supports the use of medication to treat the underlying depression associated with suicide.

Antidepressant medication acts on chemical pathways of the brain related to mood. There are many very effective antidepressants. People taking antidepressants should be monitored closely after starting antidepressants and do not stop taking antidepressants without discussing the decision with a doctor.

The Dark Night’s appearance was part of the super hero theme and slogan for UWJC’s 2017 campaign: “Be heroic. Live United.” The unnamed costumed man came to the luncheon on behalf of the Iowa League of Heroes, an organization that arranges for individuals who own their own costumes to attend various nonprofit events, often involving children.

Lowe said she is hoping to have a busy schedule in addressing groups and businesses around the county, with board members and others helping to set up those meetings.

She said she’s willing to bring in a slide show or various other presentation means to show the importance of donating to the United Way. There are also some large fundraiser events — the Autograph and Experience Auction being the most visible one. Some of this year’s auction items were on display Wednesday.

This year’s auction is slated for Nov. 4 at Fore Seasons.

Last year’s Autograph and Experience Auction brought in about $15,000.

IASB resolution No. 28 calls for “preserving the integrity of the statewide penny sales tax.”

The proposal did not make significant progress toward becoming law in 2016 in the Legislature, but is likely to be a hot topic in January when the 2017 session begins.

Resolution No. 21 calls for state supplemental state aid for fiscal year 2017 to be set by Jan. 29, 2017, and for FY 2018 funding to be set by 400 days from the start of the 2018-19 school year.

Resolution No. 2 of the IASB calls for “benchmarks that reflect the real-world knowledge and skills students need to graduate from high school prepared for college or to enter the workforce.” It calls for funding technical assistance to fully

infrastructure, needing a process to better prioritize projects or money, continued shrinking of multi-family tax base with state’s property tax reform, improving Newton’s reputation, not enough usage of Westwood Golf Course, an aging population, animal control and the need to attract younger residents and families.

My campus tour G

Trending Mike Mendenhall

ame day in Iowa City is like no other experience I’ve had in my life. The energy and enthusiasm of the students and the pride exhibited by the young and old-time Iowa City townies is infectious.

In downtown Iowa City the night before kickoff, alumni, members of the Hawkeye Marching Band and anyone who can play a musical instrument travels through downtown pubs and restaurants playing the University of Iowa’s fight song and school song. This year, I noticed a couple of ukulele players in the mix.

In the parking lots and backyards near Kinnick Stadium, folks smile and nod as you walk by. The secret

sign that you are bonded over one thing — your mutual love for the Hawkeyes. Those folks are grilling, playing corn hole — #Iowa — and drinking a cold one, momentarily without a care in the world.

But after the final play of the game, when the fanfare of Division I NCAA football has subsided for another weekend, what’s left is even more fantastic — the halls and classrooms of a prolific college campus.

It’s still my favorite hour of an Iowa City trip. Betsy and I walk the paths and sidewalks through the UI campus, reliving five years of our lives in 60 minutes. After last weekend’s Miami of Ohio game, we hit our usual

spots. The English and philosophy building — or EPB as its known in UI-land — the Adler Journalism and Mass Communication Building, the Pentacrest and main library are pieces of nostalgia for the two of us.

We walk slowly, chatting about what we’d do differently during our undergrad days if we were gifted our adult knowledge and experiences at 18. We both say, in unison, this stroll “makes me want to study” — something I would have procrastinated 10 years ago.

As we see a few studying students peppered through the Iowa Memorial Union cubicles, we reveal our itch to one day return to graduate school.

And no trip to the IMU would be complete without navigating the windy, narrow third floor hallways to the KRUI 89.7 FM studios where Betsy was once news director and I a contributing interviewer.

We also took a timeout from our nostalgia bender to take in what’s new on campus. I minored in music in college, so to see the newly completed Voxman Music Building rise on the southeast side of campus, completely re-envisioned from the the Voxman destroyed in the 2008 floods, was a special treat. The modern glass and steal structure honored the modest former school built in 1971.

College is more than sports, atmosphere, campus life and education — its all of these things. I struggled and succeeded on that Iowa City campus through some of my most formative years. Sometimes it takes a return trip to where it all began to regain perspective, and a campus tour to remember the drive it took to get to where I am today and find where I’m going.

Buddy celebrates National Dog Day Social media was full of dog pictures, cute little fluffy doggies doing tricks, and big slobbery mongrels asleep in playpens with babies. It was National Dog Day, Aug. 26, a time to celebrate and make goo-goo eyes over man’s best friend, a time for normally rational adults to act totally ridiculous. What can I say? People love their dogs.

And dogs love people. Everyone thinks their dog is the number-one best dog in the world.

How did our Buddy start National Dog Day? Well, I hate to say it, and I know I’m going to get a lot of angry mail for this, but Ginnie and I goofed and left Buddy out all night — in the rain.

I looked outside at 7 a.m., to see how much rain was in the rain gauge, and there was a little black ball of fur curled tightly in the corner of Buddy’s pen. My heart sunk to my knee caps. I looked a second time just to make sure it wasn’t a skunk or something there in Buddy’s pen. Nope.

Our faithful Buddy Boy had endured a night of thunder, lightening and gully-whomping rain, without digging himself out, because he just knew we would come and let him in. After all, we always had. Why wouldn’t we this time?

I rushed to the door, full of, “Oh, Buddy, I’m sorries,” and opened the gate to let him in. He looked up from his little ball of fur, a perpetual smile on his face and bounded for the kitchen like it was an everyday, ordinary, letting-Buddy-in occasion. His only act of retribution, if you can call it that, was to shake himself thoroughly, splattering doggie water all over the kitchen wall, island counter, and my bare legs, an act for which I forgave him immediately.

He then waited patiently for his coming-indoors treat, like he always does, then made a bee line straight for the master-bedroom closet, dog biscuit in mouth, where he likes to hide under Ginnie’s hanging clothes. I’ve always said he likes it there because it smells like Ginnie.

Ginnie found me a few minutes later and asked, “Why does the closet smell like wet dog?”

I had to confess I had left Buddy outside all night in the rain. Ginnie just about cried. “Oh, poor Buddy!”

What happened was I let Buddy outside around 8 p.m. for his evening jaunt, left the door open so I would know he was out, then sat down in my recliner. I knew I would fall asleep, but I had left the door open, so when I awoke, I would know Buddy was out. I didn’t figure on Ginnie coming along and shutting the door, our universal signal of an outdoors dog.

Ginnie tried to assume the guilt for coming along and shutting the door. In my younger days, I would have let her take the rap, but I’m beginning to adopt the, “If the shoe fits, wear it,” philosophy.

Like I told her, the driver of the car is responsible. Even if the shotgun rider says, “Clear on the right,” it’s still the driver’s responsibility to look both ways. I had put Buddy out, I was responsible for letting him in. But, hey, it didn’t get below 70 degrees that night, and ole Buddy Boy does have a good coat of fur. And a dog doesn’t hold grudges.

Now, a cat on the other hand, would have been in a funk for a week. “You left me outside in the rain?”

That night, Ginnie went to sit in her recliner, but Buddy was there and wouldn’t move. Seeing how we had abused him so badly on National Dog Day, she let him stay, and moved to the couch.

Buddy promptly jumped down and hopped up beside her for some snuggling.

Buddy is the best dog in the world.

We had sent numerous emails to our supposed contact person, only to receive misinformation or they failed to respond to the emails. We had left numerous phone messages with our contact person.

Supporting United Way of Jasper County As a supporter and a director of a United Way Partnering Agency, I believe that supporting our United Way is one of the most powerful, collective opportunities in which one can be involved in.

United Way raises much needed dollars for more than two dozen health and human service programs annually from counseling to youth literacy programs, filling food bank shelves,

we were finally contacted by the MCO’s their response was that our agency had failed to provide proper documentation. When asked what documentation we failed to submit, they requested paperwork that had been re-submitted on numerous occasions.

After being directed to submit claims using the format they prescribed, the issue was not resolved. We spent hours submitting and resubmitting claims, only to be told time and time again that our protocols were erroneous. After exhausting what we considered to be every option to get paid for services rendered, we contacted Rep. Greg Heartsill.

Once Rep. Heartsill took up our

cause, things began to happen to resolve our complaints. I want to thank Rep. Heartsill for his intervention on this matter.

Though we are still in the process of resolving these issues, had he not intervened on our behalf, we would still be in the same boat, spinning our wheels and not getting anything accomplished.

Again, thank you Rep. Heartsill. There are so many providers out there that are experiencing nightmarish problems with these MCO’s and the privatization of Medicaid. I hope they can contact someone like Rep. Heartsill to help with their concerns.

Monarch Madness at Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge is Saturday Newton Daily News It is that time of year again, when the monarch butterflies are heading south for the winter.

Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge will be celebrating this incredible migration with a special event called Monarch Madness from 9 to 11 a.m. Saturday.

During this event, participants will help Refuge staff catch, tag,

and release monarch butterflies. This event is free and open to the public of all ages. You may borrow one of our nets or bring along your own.

No prior experience is necessary but, space is limited, so register soon.

To register, contact the Refuge at 515-994-3400 or Brianna_Patrick@fws. gov.

Monarch Madness is a fun and wonderful way to learn more about

monarch butterflies and to help scientific research. Some monarchs migrate from Canada all the way to Mexico to live out the winter before returning north for the summer months. Researchers still have many unanswered questions about how monarchs complete this amazing feat. Tagging monarchs helps scientists answer these questions, track monarch migration, and

learn more about their migration and habitat needs.

Below is the schedule of events for Monarch Madness: 9 a.m. — Check-in for pre-registered volunteers 9:15 a.m. — Introduction and Monarch Talk 9:30 a.m. — Break into groups to tag butterflies 11 a.m. — Find out how many butterflies were tagged

Wife’s meticulous grooming becomes troubling obsession DEAR ABBY: My wife has always been well groomed, with an obsessive interest in her fingernails and toenails.

Every three or four days, she spends an hour trimming them.

Recently, I discovered that she has been keeping the nail trimmings. She actually has three large plastic containers full. When I confronted her, she claimed it soothes her to see her “collection.” Now she has begun openly displaying them inside a glass table lamp.

I’m afraid she needs professional help. What do you think I should do?

— NAILING IT DEAR NAILING: Your wife appears to suffer from a form of OCD — a hoarding disorder. (Are nail clippings the only items she can’t let go of?)

Overcoming her compulsion may take professional help and possibly medication. Start by discussing this with your doctor. In the meantime, because her display bothers you, ask her to keep the lamp in a less conspicuous place.

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I just bought our first home. It’s in a very nice neighborhood, and the neighbors seem friendly. There’s just one problem. My son, “Abner” — who will soon be 3 — goes to bed between 8 and 9 o’clock, and that’s when our neighbor decides it’s time to mow his grass. Getting Abner to sleep becomes difficult because the man mows right outside our son’s window.

Initially, I didn’t think it was a big deal because the first time he woke Abner up, my son had gone to bed at an unusually early time for him. But last night it happened when Abner went to bed later than his normal bedtime.

We have talked to our neighbors a few times in general. But since we’re new to the neighborhood, I don’t want to cause problems. I don’t know the man’s schedule, but would it be out of line to ask him to mow earlier in the

evening? — BEDTIME IN ILLINOIS DEAR BEDTIME: Not at all. If you explain the problem, your neighbor may be willing to modify his mowing time. However, if he isn’t, then look into the noise ordinances in your community because there may be rules about mowing after — or before — a certain hour.

DEAR ABBY: Recently, my boss told me she had asked me to do something, but I am 100 percent positive that she didn’t. I don’t feel like I can contradict her because I’m afraid it would make me look bad. It has happened only once or twice in the last few months, but what should I do if it continues? I don’t want my employee reviews to suffer because of it. Please tell me how to handle it. — AT A LOSS IN FLORIDA DEAR AT A LOSS: I wish you had revealed more about your relationship with your boss and mentioned how many people work there. Could she be stressed? Or having problems with her memory? Or could you? If there are more employees than just you, did anyone witness your boss ask you to do what she claimed? If not, and this happens again, you may need to talk to her about it because of your concerns about your work performance.

Authorities release name of Polk City fire victim POLK CITY — Authorities have released the name of a man whose body was found by firefighters in the basement of a Polk City home.

A family member arriving home around 8:55 p.m. called 911 to report to the blaze. The fire cause is still being investigated, but investigators say it appears so far that vapors from spilled containers were ignited by an electrical source in the basement.

New University of Iowa auditorium to be unveiled IOWA CITY (AP) — A new auditorium at the University of Iowa is set to be open after the original space was damaged by flooding.

The original Hancher Auditorium opened in 1972. It was damaged beyond repair by a 2008 flood and the building’s demolition started in 2013.

It’s scheduled to be unveiled in a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday.

The new 1,800-seat auditorium features silver-green padded chairs, eight sets of gallery seats above the orchestra level and two balconies.

Charles Swanson, executive director of Hancher, said the standout feature of the auditorium for him is the 14,000 stainless steel panels that are a part of the building’s curved exterior.

Newton, IA

DES MOINES (AP) — The Iowa Supreme Court has decided to let an attorney who took more than $99,000 from a client resume practicing law.

The justices ruled unanimously to reinstate Michael Reilly’s law license. The court ruling released Friday said Reilly had worked hard to overcome a gambling addiction that led to the theft. Several western Iowa lawyers had written letters vouching for his character.

Reilly lost his license in 2006, after authorities learned that Reilly had taken settlement money given a family he’d represented in a lawsuit over an injury to a young boy.

Before he can practice law again, Reilly will have to finish 30 hours of continuing legal education and pass an ethics exam.

Cardinals take on Polar Bears in an early battle of unbeatens

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Running the football is the bread and butter of Newton High football as Jaron Roush (28) is one of the Cardinals’ running backs. The Cardinals are on the road for the first time this season Friday against Des Moines North. Both teams are 2-0 on the young season.

Getting their first real test of the young football season Friday will be two 2-0 teams — Newton High’s Cardinals and the Pregame Des Moines North High Po- Outlook lar Bears. Each have a big win over Waterloo East.

The Cardinals rolled over Ottumwa in the season opener.

The Polar Bears are coming off a 3-0 win over Sioux City West last week.

“North is going to be the best team we’ve played this season, and probably, we’re the best team they will have played so far,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said. “I remember coaching against Des Moines North teams in the 1980s and 1990s.

This is the best North team I’ve seen. I’ve been impressed with what I’ve seen on tape.”

Week No. 3 of Class 4A football for Newton kicks off at 7:30 p.m. against host Des Moines North at North Grubb Stadium.

A freshman game is slated for 4:45 p.m.

“North executes well on offense, running the option. They have the right combination of kids this season,” Ergenbright said. “They give you a lot of things to think about on offense. Defensively, they have athletic kids in-

cluding huge defensive lineman and two active linebackers.”

Under head coach Sean Quinlan, who is in his third year at North, the Polar Bears snapped a 30-game losing streak last year. North defeated Des Moines Roosevelt on Oct. 9, 2015, to go 1-8. The Polar Bears were 2-34 over the past four years.

Des Moines North is 2-0 to start a season for the first time in 37 years. The Polar Bears are led by senior quarterback Kaine Burch, who has rushed for 93 yards and passed for 204 yards.

Burch is 17-of-30 passing with two touchdown passes.

Senior fullback Luis Montoya is North’s leading rusher with 184 yards on 31 carries. Andrew Phillips, a senior wingback has 98 yards rushing and has caught seven passes for 93 yards, including the two North touchdown passes.

“They like to pound their fullback up the middle at teams and (Phillips) has the speed and can get past people quickly. The quarterback does a good job of reading the defense and running the option for them,” Ergenbright said.

“We have to defend the dive, the quarterback and the pitch on the option. It’s about assignment-sound defense,” he said.

PCM opens district play with chance to get early advantage

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News Prairie City-Monroe’s football team has the chance to get the Class 2A District 6 season off on the right foot with a home win Friday night.

In the way of the Mustangs’ quest is a team that has been the 2A state semifinals three straight seasons.

The Albia Blue Demons went 43-6 the past four seasons, and even though the 2016 season hasn’t started off well, PCM coach Greg Bonnett is not taking them lightly.

“Albia has played really good teams in the first two weeks,” Bonnett said. “I watched enough film to know better than to assume they are a bad football team. They are not. Coach Staton will have

the guys ready for district play. We can all count on that.”

Albia has not scored in the first two weeks of the season.

The Blue Demons lost to 3A No. 3 Washington 42-0 in the season opener and then was dispatched 63-0 by 1A No. 2 Pella Christian last Friday.

The Mustangs also faced Pella Christian earlier this season, losing 42-20 at home.

Graduation hit Albia hard last season. Gone are allstaters Carter Isley, Nick Yarkosky, Blake Bayer and Bryce Leshen.

Replacing Isley are Jer McAninch and Kyle Sinnott, who have combined to rush for only 142 yards in two weeks.

The new quarterback is Tony Leshen, but he’s only attempted 12 passes, complet-

Don’t count out Cyclones Well, a loss to Northern Iowa certainly was not how I thought the Cyclones’ season opener at Jack Trice Stadium would go Saturday.

The Matt Campbell era did not get off to a good start, but that doesn’t mean the Cyclones can’t get the train back on the tracks in time to beat Iowa this weekend in the annual Cy-Hawk game.

Iowa fans have seen that movie before.

In 2007, Iowa State began its season with losses to Kent State and Northern Iowa and then knocked off Iowa 1513. The Cyclones finished 3-9 in that season.

The Cy-Hawk rivalry is never a given either way. That is the biggest thing I have learned over the years.

Most seasons, Iowa has more talent

ing six for 33 yards.

In two games, the Blue Demons (0-2) have gained just 232 total yards.

“I can tell they still have guys with size and speed and they have nothing to lose so I think we can expect anything from them,” Bonnett said.

The Mustangs got on track last week with a convincing 34-12 win over Class A Montezuma, which dropped out of

This & That Troy Hyde and is favored to win. The end result has hardly been in the Hawkeyes’ favor lately. Iowa has won eight of the last 13 matchups, but the Cyclones are winners of three of the last five.

Neither team has won at their home field since Iowa won 35-7 at Kinnick Stadium in 2010.

The Hawkeyes won the previous season 35-3 in Ames, too.

This will be the 65th meeting in the series. Iowa leads the all-time series 41-22 and most of that stems from a string of 15 straight victories from 1983-1997.

There are some blowouts. Most of the games are not decided until the second half though.

I have seen a lot of media members and fans predicting another Iowa win Saturday. Most of them think the game

the state rankings this week.

PCM’s offense got a breakout performance from sophomore tailback Wes Cummings and senior quarterback Sheldon Speers against the Braves.

Cummings rushed for 148 yards and three scores, while Speers added 125 passing yards and 89 rushing yards.

Over the first two games, the Mustangs have gained 369 yards on the ground and 373 yards through the air.

“I am not going to say we are where we need to be yet because we blow too many assignments,” Bonnett said.

“Guys not knowing who to block so they are passive or guys blocking a read man, etc. We need to improve our focus.”

Defensively, the Mustangs successfully slowed down

shouldn’t be close. Iowa is, in fact, favored by more than two touchdowns.

Iowa State had plenty of issues against Northern Iowa. There’s no other way to slice it.

The offensive line needs to get better quick, and the defense gave up way too many rushing yards against an FCS program who is not supposed to beat teams like Iowa State and Iowa.

None of what happened last weekend will play into this weekend. Iowa can blow out Iowa State. The Hawks probably should based on rankings and depth alone.

Even in those years, Iowa State always finds a way to make Hawkeye fans bite their nails for four years.

Three years ago, Iowa State began its season with a loss to Northern Iowa.

A week later, the Hawkeyes edged the Cyclones by six in Ames.

Iowa fans are probably pretty confident this season. C.J. Beathard and Desmond King are difference makers.

Iowa State’s biggest matchup prob-

Montezuma’s power rushing attack.

The Braves, after running for 241 yards in a win over BGM, tallied just 141 against PCM. That came on 44 carries.

The Mustangs will need a similar effort against the Blue Demons, who rely heavily on the ground game.

“Defensively, we are doing better with Clayton Welch back in our scheme,” Bonnett said.

“He provides us with the ability to rotate and keep fresh linemen in the game. I am happy with the sophomores that have stepped in and started this year. We just need to stay focused and continue doing our jobs.”

AREA PREVIEWS | 2B

lem would be Allen Lazard at wide receiver. If Desmond King shadows him Saturday, like he said he would Tuesday, then the matchup may not be as much in Iowa State’s favor.

If the offensive line doesn’t improve, it could be another long day offensively for the Cyclones. The team that is able to stop the other team’s running game will win.

I think that will be Iowa. The Hawkeyes should win this game by at least 21 points, but my prediction is that the game is close through halftime and then the Hawkeyes’ depth takes over in a 31-17 win.

Iowa has had several head-scratching losses during Kirk Ferentz’s tenure.

Steve Deace, a longtime radio personality in Des Moines, thinks an Iowa loss Saturday would be the worst loss in the Ferentz era.

Ferentz is only 8-9 against the Cyclones. So nothing in this series is a guarantee.

Cyclones searching for answers after losing to UNI AMES (AP) — Iowa State’s future appears to be bright, thanks largely to first-year coach Matt Campbell and his staff ’s work as recruiters.

The present remains as murky as ever.

The Cyclones showed why they’re likely in for another long season in dropping their opener to Northern Iowa 2520 on Saturday. Iowa State had plenty of chances to put away their FCS rivals, but late turnovers and penalties left the door open for the Panthers to steal a win in Ames.

The Cyclones don’t have much time to regroup after their disastrous opener either.

They’ve got a trip Saturday to Iowa City to face No. 17 Iowa — which had little trouble dispatching Miami (Ohio) last weekend — followed by a matchup at No. 13 TCU the following week.

“For us, we’re trying to break bad habits and a culture of that,” Campbell said.

“There’s a process to it.”

Iowa State’s biggest issue right now is its patchwork offensive line.

The Cyclones couldn’t run

the ball against Northern Iowa, a troubling sign for a team facing back-to-back road games against ranked opponents.

Mike Warren, who led the Big 12 in rushing yards in league games in 2015, had just 30 on 12 carries against the Panthers as his line struggled to create lanes for him to run through. Mobile quarterback Joel Lanning didn’t find much space either, gaining just 29 yards while losing 19 on three sacks.

The fear for Iowa State was that its line, which collectively had just one start for the Cyclones heading into 2016, would be its downfall.

That was certainly the case it its opener, although the return of right tackle Julian Good-Jones from a one-game

suspension is expected to help against the Hawkeyes.

“Julian coming back will help that offensive line a little bit,” Campbell said. But “we put ourselves in some tough positions for that offensive line to get exposed.”

If there was good news for Iowa State it was that, in context, its defense performed well in the opener.

The Cyclones’ inability to sustain drives left their defense on the field for nearly 36 minutes, and their fatigue was evident in the fourth quarter as Northern Iowa drove 36 yards for the winning touchdown.

All three of the Panthers’ touchdowns came off miscues by the Iowa State offense. But the Cyclones’ defense allowed just 4.3 yards per play, forced

eight punts and stuffed Northern Iowa on 13 of its 17 third downs.

“I thought the one area that certainly was a success for us on Saturday night was our ability to get off the field on third down,” Campbell said.

“That really showed up.”

Much of the excitement that Iowa State generated in the offseason came from Campbell’s first recruiting class, which ranked among the best the Cyclones had brought in for decades. Six true freshmen played last weekend, most notably running backs David Montgomery and Kene Nwangwu.

Iowa State’s next class is ranked even higher, giving fans hope that Campbell, at 36 the youngest Power Five coach in the country, can finally turn its languishing program around.

But fixing the Cyclones won’t be quick or easy, a fact Campbell came face to face with last weekend.

“You have to stay the course.

You can’t let one game define your season,” quarterback Joel Lanning said. “It’s time to move on.”

Pushed to brink, Williams edges Halep NEW YORK (AP) — Serena Williams’ serve was broken for the first time at this year’s U.S. Open. Twice, in fact. She dropped a set for the first time in the tournament, too, pushed to the brink by Simona Halep in the quarterfinals.

In a match filled with fantastic shot making and enthralling exchanges, neither player budged until Williams righted herself in the third set to emerge with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-3 victory over Halep on Wednesday night to get back to the semifinals at Flushing Meadows.

Halep, the 2014 French Open runner-up who was seeded No. 5 in New York, staved off all 12 break points held by Williams in the S. Williams second set and forced a third.

But Williams converted the only break chance she would get — or need — in the deciding set to go ahead 3-1, and was on her way.

She finished with 18 aces,

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News DES MOINES — The Prairie City-Monroe volleyball team split a triangular at Saydel High School on Tuesday night.

The Mustangs swept host Saydel while getting swept by North Polk during Heart of Iowa Conference play.

In the 25-11, 25-17, 25-7 win over Saydel, senior Katie Vande Wall had seven kills, eight digs, six aces and was 13-of-15 in serves.

Sophomore Maddie Samson had four kills, while senior Kaylee Townsend added three kills.

Senior Kayla Jennings dished out 17 assists, served up five aces and was 22of-24 in serves.

Senior Tatum Nearmyer finished with a team-high 11 digs and was 12-of13 in serves, while junior libero Olivia Lippman collected 10 digs.

Area Previews Continued from Page 1B Leading the way defensively for PCM is sophomore Isaac Telfer, who has a team-high 16 tackles.

Kickoff for Friday’s game in Monroe is set for 7:30 p.m. A win by the Mustangs gives them an early advantage in district play.

“The fact is that we cannot afford to play poorly,” Bonnett said. “We need to be consistently improving, and Albia will be a great test for us.”

Class A No. 7 Lynnville-Sully (2-0) at North Mahaska (1-1), 7 p.m.

The Hawks continue to rise in the Associated Press high football poll, and they have a chance to move to 3-0 Friday night in New Sharon in the Class A District 6 opener.

Lynnville-Sully edged South Iowa Cedar League rival BGM last week to stay unbeaten.

Both the Hawks and WarHawks played Colfax-Mingo in the non-district season. L-S won 56-0, while North Mahaska pulled away from a narrow halftime advantage to win 40-0.

In the last five meetings, Lynnville-Sully is 5-0 against North Mahaska and has outscored the WarHawks 250-46 during that stretch.

The closest game was a 51-34 victory for the Hawks in 2014.

North Mahaska is led by Cole Spoelstra, who has a team-high 189 rushing yards and three touchdowns on offense and a team-high 10 tackles on defense.

CMB (0-2) at Roland-Story (1-1), 7:30 p.m.

The Raiders took positive steps in Week 2 against 3A North Polk but came up short of recording their first win of the year.

As 2A District 3 begins, CMB looks to clean up some miscues against Heart of Iowa Conference rival Roland-Story.

Senior Hunter McWhirter returned from injury last week and gave the Raiders a bit of an offensive boost against North Polk. McWhirter

Williams, seeded No. 1, had held serve in 37 consecutive games over the past two weeks until Halep broke to get within 3-2 in the opening set. Still, Williams breezed through the rest of that set.

In Thursday’s other semifinal, No. 2 Angelique Kerber plays two-time U.S. Open runner-up Caroline Wozniacki.

Kerber has a chance to end Williams’ record-tying string of 186 consecutive weeks at No. 1 in the WTA rankings.

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Longtime Minnesota wrestling coach J Robinson was fired Wednesday, after the university said an investigation into an alleged drug ring within the program revealed he wasn’t forthcoming to school officials and made unauthorized promises of amnesty to his athletes.

Robinson coached the Gophers for 30 years and led the team to three national championships, developing a reputation as a hard-nosed, outspoken and occasionally combative figure on campus. His teams had as much success as any Gophers coach of his era, but he became embroiled in the drug scandal this spring when police investigated allegations that more than a dozen wrestlers sold and used Xanax.

Police previously declined to file charges in the case, citing a lack of evidence.

The Raiders have won four of the past five games in this series. The Norse last defeated CMB in 2012 when they won 35-28. CMB won 4830 last year, 32-26 in 2014 and 42-7 in 2013.

Wednesday, new athletic director Mark Coyle said Robinson directed his wrestlers to turn the drugs in to him and disposed of the pills. Coyle also said the coach “disobeyed reasonable directives from me and university to share information” regarding the drug activities.

“You have not accepted responsibility or expressed remorse for your conduct,” Coyle wrote to Robinson.

“As a result, I cannot trust you to refrain from such conduct in the future.”

Robinson signed a contract extension last summer that ran through 2020, paying him $146,000 annually. Coyle said at a news conference that the coach was fired “for cause,” meaning no settlement agreement was reached with Robinson and his representatives. Coyle declined to speculate about whether Robinson could have kept his job if he had fully cooperated with the investigation.

2016 NFL kickoff features Super Bowl 50 teams DENVER (AP) — The 2016 NFL season starts the same way the last one ended, with Von Miller staring down Cam Newton.

Denver’s star linebacker got the best of Newton in Super Bowl 50, stripping both the football (twice) and the Lombardi Trophy from the Carolina quarterback’s grasp in the Broncos’ 24-10 win over the Panthers.

The sequel won’t feature Peyton Manning, who retired a month later. When longtime backup Brock Osweiler signed with Houston two days after Manning’s tearful goodbye, GM John Elway embarked on a months-long search for a successor.

He didn’t find him in the draft, free agency or via trade, but right there on his roster in Trevor Siemian, a seventh-round draft pick in 2015 from Northwestern who’ll be making his first NFL start Thursday night.

Siemian has never thrown a pass as a pro.

At least he won’t have to face star cornerback Josh Norman, who signed with the Redskins after the Panthers rescinded their franchise tag in the

offseason.

Instead, Siemian will square off against two rookie cornerbacks in James Bradberry and Daryl Worley, the biggest changes on the NFC champions’ roster that returns 18 starters.

“I’m not going to look at them like they’re rookies,” Broncos receiver Emmanuel Sanders said. “I’m going to treat them like they’re Darrelle Revis and Richard Sherman.”

While the Panthers were restocking, the Broncos were busy rebuilding. They return just five offensive starters from the Super Bowl.

The massive makeover didn’t take away from their championship celebration. When they visited the White House, receiver Demaryius Thomas got to personally thank President Barack Obama for commuting his mother’s drug sentence, and successfully pleaded for the release of his grandmother this summer, as well.

Nobody basked in the limelight quite like Miller, who skipped the offseason program before signing a record-breaking contract.

He embarked on a sixmonth jet-setting junket

Cardinals

Continued from Page 1B Newton has scored 105 points in its two victories this season. Senior Jordan Norvell leads the running back corps with 115 yards on 14 carries and junior Jaron Roush has 97 yards on 18 carries. The Cardinals have had seven players score rushing touchdowns.

Junior quarterback Garrett Sturtz is 11-of-12 passing for 163 yards and three touchdowns. Junior Trevor Ergenbright is the leading receiver with six catches for 98 yards and two touchdowns.

“We have been preparing to play our best game of the season. We have to continue to execute our running game — inside and out on the edge — to open up our passing game,” Ergenbright said. “This will

Miller’s torment of Newton in the Super Bowl was just the start.

He made him the butt of his jokes on “SNL” and trolled him on Instagram, photo-shopping himself knocking another ball out of Newton’s hands when the QB posted a picture of himself playing with the U.S. water polo team.

Miller said this week it was all in good fun and called Newton “the best player in the league.”

Newton insisted he took no offense and called Miller “one of the

North has kicked two field goals this season. Sophomore Nahimana Meschack kicked a 22-yarder in the fourth quarter to lift the Polar Bears over Sioux City West.

Senior Musa Allison and junior Caveon Stallings lead the North defense with double-digit tackle totals. The Polar Bears have eight fumble recoveries and one interception.

Ergenbright said several players have been out sick throughout the week, but is hoping to have them well by Friday’s game. Sophomore defensive end Jaise Gulling, who sat out last week’s game, is back on the field as will be junior defensive back Cole Cazett.

Junior running back Josh Miravalles is still out of the lineup with a nagging back injury. Also out with injuries suffered in the preseason are sophomore running back Thomas Cox (hand), junior tight end Grant Garvis (leg) and sophomore defensive back Elijah Sander (leg).

With Nelson back, full cast in place for Packers to start 2016 GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Randall Cobb bulked up. Eddie Lacy slimmed down.

And now that Jordy Nelson is back from a knee injury, quarterback Aaron Rodgers has a full supporting cast again in Green Bay. The Packers have the pieces to make another Super Bowl run.

“You look at our offense and we’re built in a way to have a great year,” Cobb said. “It’s just going out there and proving it.

Going out there and executing to expectations.”

That didn’t happen last season, when the Packers uncharacteristically struggled with the ball. Their four-year reign as NFC North champions came to an end.

Green Bay still won a wildcard game and took Arizona to overtime on the road before losing in the NFC divisional round.

After the season, Rodgers had minor knee surgery. Rodgers, who turns 33 in December, also altered his diet as he tweaked his offseason conditioning routine.

Nelson only returned with a couple of weeks left in camp after what was described as a

minor issue with his left knee; he tore the ACL in his right knee in preseason a year ago.

“I’ve been giving him a lot of opportunities to work on a couple things, but he looks good,” Rodgers said.

So has tight end Jared Cook, an offseason free-agent signee from the Rams. The 6-foot-5 Cook has shown the potential to give the offense the big, athletic playmaking target that the Packers haven’t had since Jermichael Finley in 2013.

If things go as planned, Nelson would give Rodgers the missing deep threat, while Cook and tight end Richard Rodgers would offer big targets over the middle. Also, one or more the Packers’ corps of young receivers behind Nelson and Cobb would take steps forward in their developments.

The always tough Cobb, who added bulk but didn’t appear to lose any quickness, would make catches in traffic.

Lacy and James Starks would provide a one-two punch at running back, while the offensive line would stay healthy and keeps Rodgers upright.

“I don’t think there’s a cap or a limit you can put on it,”

Cook said about the possibilities for the offense. “Endless, it really is.”

Here are some other things to watch with the Packers: Sack Happy: Clay Matthews is eager to move on now that the NFL has cleared him and fellow pass-rusher Julius Peppers in a performance-enhancing drug probe. The long-haired linebacker is headed back to the outside to rush the quarterback after spending much of the previous two seasons shoring up the run defense in the middle.

“Obviously, not happy with the entire situation and how it played out, but ultimately it’s in the rear-view mirror now,” Matthews said about the PED probe after the Packers’ 17-7 loss to Kansas City in their final preseason game. “We can focus on football.”

Middle Men Matthews’ move means a new look again at inside linebacker, a position that has been a trouble spot in recent seasons without Matthews. Coach Mike McCarthy looks like he’ll start second-year player Jake Ryan and rookie Blake Martinez in the middle of the base 3-4 scheme.

per game, down from about twice that as a rookie in 2014.

Rebuilt Broncos: Siemian isn’t the only new face. The Broncos now feature a fullback along with three new linemen and two new tight ends.

Elway also replaced two specialists, including punter/holder Britton Colquitt, in favor of rookies. But the Broncos return nine starters on their dazzling defense, 10 if you count CB Bradley Roby; they’re in the nickel package most of the time.

Remmers Nightmare: Sure, RT Mike Remmers got beaten twice on the edge by Miller last February, resulting in a pair of stripsacks against Newton that led to 15 points. But Rivera has staunchly defended Remmers, saying the criticism is absurd and declaring, “I have absolute confidence in Mike Remmers.” GM Dave Gettleman is quick to point out the Panthers are 22-4 since Remmers took over as their starting right tackle.

DeMaryius DoOver: Thomas had 105 catches for 1,304 yards last year. But he only had six TDs to go with 18 drops and a forgettable Super Bowl per-

formance. His dogged determination to have a bounce-back year was on full display this summer. “D.T.’s had one of the best camps I’ve been around,” coach Gary Kubiak said. It earned the soft-spoken Thomas offensive captain honors.

Doubling Down: Denver’s dazzling defense was one of the best ever, and it doesn’t look like the Broncos will retreat minus Malik Jackson and Danny Trevathan.

“We know what we can do,” safety T.J. Ward said.

“We’ve got the same defense as last year. We plan on picking up right where we left off. We’re not trying to prove nothing to nobody. We did that already. And we’re trying to do it better this year.”

Brewers edge Cubs MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Chicago Cubs acquired Mike Montgomery in July with the intention of bolstering their bullpen.

An injury prompted him moving into the rotation and in his fourth start with the Cubs on Wednesday night, Montgomery turned in five strong innings, allowing one run and two hits.

He didn’t factor into the decision as the Cubs lost to the Brewers 2-1, sparked by Jonathan Villar’s two home runs and a game-saving catch by Keon Broxton in the ninth. “(Montgomery) was really good,” Cubs manager Joe

Maddon said. “The hanging changeup to Villar, that was the pitch that hurt us. But good curveball, good changeup, good fastball.”

Montgomery, acquired from Seattle in a four-player trade, gained a spot in the starting rotation when John Lackey went on the disabled list with a shoulder problem. Montgomery faced the minimum number of batters through three innings.

Milwaukee, which took two of three in the series, got its first hit when Villar homered leading off the fourth.

Villar homered again off Joe Smith (1-1) leading off the eighth.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

PFW ranks players by position as 2016 season kicks off

By JC Talon PFW fantasy writer

Quarterbacks

Cam Newton has his work cut out for him in Denver. Aaron Rodgers looks like the best bet for a huge week, although Russell Wilson and Ben Roethlisberger are capable of outscoring him. We’ll jump on the bandwagon and ride the “Dak Attack” this week, but we’re fully aware that preseason performances don’t always carry over into the real games.

Running Backs

Call it a hunch, but we’re ranking Derrick Henry ahead of DeMarco Murray. Both face a Vikings defense that will give up some yards, but is stingy on points. With Jamaal Charles out, Spencer Ware is a great play.

1. Lamar Miller, Texans vs. Bears 2. Adrian Peterson, Vikings @ Titans 3. Ezekiel Elliott, Cowboys vs. Giants

Kickers Two of fantasy’s better kickers – Brandon McManus and Graham Gano – face each other in what should be a defensive slugfest. That opens the door for guys like Chris Boswell, Chandler Catanzaro and Cairo Santos to move up the list.

THE WAY WE HEAR IT Did Vikings overpay for Bradford, or are they dumb like a fox?

We’ve heard from more than a few analysts and insiders around the NFL that the Vikings overpaid outrageously for Sam Bradford in one of the great NFL trade blunders of alltime.

But we also have several sources close to the Vikings’ situation who are telling us that while Rick Spielman and Mike Zimmer obviously like Teddy Bridgewater, they were not yet anywhere near completely sold that they had any more than a game manager.

The Vikings did not give up a first- and fourth-round pick (the ladder could become a third- or a second- based on Bradford’s production) and take on $20-plus million in salary for a one-year rental.

Bradford has not, in fact, failed on an NFL field, he has failed to stay on an NFL field due to injury. In 14 games last year in Philadelphia – only the third time he has played more than 10 games – his stat line (19 touchdowns, 14 interceptions, 86.4 passer rating) wasn’t bad, considering the Eagles’ lack of exciting targets for him.

The Vikings aren’t loaded at receiver either, but in Laquon Treadwell, Stefon Diggs and tight end Kyle Rudolph, with all eyes often on Adrian Peterson, they might be better than Philly’s group.

Bradford may just be perfect for Norv Turner’s West Coast scheme, and multiple sources tell us Bradford, known more for his accuracy, has a much stronger arm than Bridgewater.

We’re hearing the former Ram and Eagle may give the Vikings an even better chance to compete for a Super Bowl trip this year than Bridgewater did. If that happens, suddenly the price the Vikings paid seems pretty reasonable.

49ers a mess but Kaepernick still there The Way We Hear It, not only is Colin Kaepernick still a San Francisco 49er, short of a trade offer that was never coming that might have blown the Niners socks off, Kaepernick was never going anywhere.

Yes, Kaepernick is a bit of a Colin coach’s Rubik’s Cube off the Kaepernick field, and his latest attempts at being a political activist might be something

Sam Bradford

the 49ers don’t need right now.

But according to our sources, the gap between Kaepernick’s athletic and physical abilities with those of Blaine Gabbert and Christian Ponder is so great that Chip Kelly is committed to exhausting every avenue possible to get the most out of Kaepernick before he is willing to give up on him.

Now that Kaepernick is over his “tired” arm and appears closer to being 100 percent physically after three offseason surgeries, we’re hearing the issue is that he just isn’t grasping Chip Kelly’s high-speed, highpressure system yet. While Kelly wants to snap the ball with 20 seconds left on the play clock, and Gabbert seems to have that piece down, Kaepernick still needs 5-10 seconds more to get plays off and that doesn’t work for Kelly.

According to our sources, Kaepernick eventually will get his chance to start. If he can get comfortable enough with the playbook and the pace Kelly needs, he’s still most likely to be the long-term starter if any of this group lasts long enough to become that guy.
