Perry’s departure leaves Critchfield in limbo

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News In a remembrance of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, Newton firefighter Blaine Lefler carries the American flag, leading a color guard at Friday’s ceremony in front of the Newton Fire Department. A remembrance was held at both the fire station and, after a processional that included about 40 Legion Rider motorcycles, at the courthouse square in Newton.

Newton agencies join together for 9/11 remembrance ceremonies

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News When Least of Saints pastor Scott Greene spoke during Friday’s 9/11 remembrance at the courthouse square in Newton, he reminded everyone what type of event it was — and what it wasn’t.

“This isn’t a celebration,” Greene said after the national anthem had been performed.

“This is a time to remember who we are, and what we don’t tolerate as a nation.”

In remembrance of the Sept.

11, 2001 attacks, a pair of remembrance ceremonies — connected by a procession from the Newton Fire Department to the nearby courthouse square, took place Friday in Newton. Several local officials and others spoke at one of the two sites, reminding the crowds gathered that 9/11 isn’t simply about patriotism or memorializing the fallen; it’s also about banding together and cherishing life.

The event was a unique remembrance in terms of its rare collaboration of agencies and organizations. Fire departments from Newton, Reasnor, Baxter and Indianola were all represented, and there were large contingents from the Newton Police Department and Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office.

Sept. 11 happened to be on a Friday this year. While the remembrances weren’t treated as

Marshall Critchfield left his position as president of the Jasper County Republicans to take over the Iowa fundraising arm of former Texas Gov. R i c k Critchfield Pe r r y ’s GOP presidential nomination bid.

However, Perry left the race Friday, making Critchfield’s future uncertain.

“I can’t say exactly where this leaves me personally — yet,” Critchfield told the Newton Daily News on Sunday

in an email. “I’m grateful for the opportunity.

I would have stuck with Rick Perry for as long as he was in the race. He is a decent and honorable man and I wish him, his family, and everyone in his corner the very best.”

Critchfield took over as Iowa director of Opportunity & Freedom — the name given to the super PAC raising funds for Perry’s campaign — less than two weeks ago.

He said super PACs aren’t allowed to have regular contact with people directly involved in the campaign, so Perry’s statement Friday about dropping out of the race came as a surprise to Critchfield.

“The No. 1 rule with a super PAC is that you CRITCHFIELD | 3A

Vets Affairs Commission reschedules retreat for spring Chartier returns to duty Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Remembrances of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks have regularly involve bagpipe groups through the years, and Friday’s events in Newton were no exception.

The MacKenzie Highlanders Pipes & Drums of Iowa, featuring Newton Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik, on the bass drum, performed at Friday’s ceremony and procession to the courthouse square.

a party, the final Thunder Nites motorcycle-themed concert event was held afterward, with a retro-focused performance by Des Moines-area band Gimikk.

Motorcycles were a huge part of the event. A procession of about 40 American Legion Riders motorcycles began at the Post 111 Legion Hall, wound its way through the neighborhood southwest of downtown, and made its way down First Avenue West to park along West Third Street South to watch the first ceremony.

The Legion Riders were led

by Wesley Justus, who served in the Marine Corps during the Operation Desert Storm era.

The MacKenzie Highlanders Pipes & Drums of Iowa played the Star-Spangled Banner, and an inter-agency color guard presented the flags.

Blaine Lefler, who carried the American flag, and Mike Browning, who carried the ceremonial axe, were the Newton firefighters in the color guard. They were joined by three Indianola firefighters.

A retreat for about

15 veterans, put together with a collaborating New York City-area organization called the Military Resilience Project, will take place in the spring, rather than the planned late September weekend.

The commission plans to use the Christian Conference Center, located south of Newton, for the event.

The commission held a conference call with Aynisa Leonardo of the Military Resilience Project during Wednesday’s one-hour meeting to discuss needs.

However, in the months ahead, the commission will need to address some positions.

NFD supporting breast cancer awareness Pink shirts on sale through Friday

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News To continue an idea that started last year, the Newton Fire Department is selling pink T-shirts and sweatshirts in support of the Jasper County Pink Ribbon

Support Group. The firefighters will also be wearing the shirts during the month of October to show support of the cause.

“We do a lot of stuff on a bigger scale. We’ve given to Blank Children’s Hospital, the MDA and the burn foundation and that is a lot of stuff outside of our community. This time, we really wanted to just try to support the people

that really support us,” NFD firefighter Rick Norrish said.

Last year, the department began wearing pink during the month of October to show support for breast cancer awareness.

This year, they decided to take it to the next level by selling shirts and have been happily surprised by the response they have received.

In Brief Vernon promotes Palm to director of marketing Newton Daily News

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Georgia “Gorgeous” Pierson and Joni “Jolli” Frerichs of Gorgeous Georgia’s are ready to show their shop, full of a little of everything and share a story along with the way.

Gorgeous Georgia’s has something for everyone

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News MONROE — A little bit of everything. That is what Gorgeous Georgia’s offers at its downtown Monroe location.

Housed in the former A Flair for Flower building at 106 E. Washington St., Gorgeous Georgia Pierson herself, along with her pal Jolli Joni Frerichs will greet you as you walk in the door and probably share a story or two as well.

“I’ve collected things for many years and always thought about having a shop but never managed it. I ended up having to rent storage space to put my things,” Pierson said. “I had been looking around the Des Moines for a shop, a rental space that was reasonable rent.

I was driving through Monroe, because I have relatives in the area and saw this cute little building. The building is what really attracted me.”

Open on the weekends since July 4, Gorgeous Georgia’s has a wide variety of merchandise from clothes and jewelry to home décor, books, small kitchen items, puzzles and much more. Frerichs also

brings items from her collection, which includes lingerie from her days selling it at home parties.

“Years ago lingerie home parties were a big thing and I did that for about eight years.

One month, I did as many as 22 shows. Suddenly, I just decided I am tired of doing this, and I had about $6,000 work of samples at the time so I just boxed them up and put them away,” Frerichs said.

The two women, both from Des Moines, have known each other for a while but became closer after recently traveling together.

“We both belonged to the same red hat club and we were well acquainted because it’s a smaller group. She (Frerichs) had a time share she was needing to use and she knew I like to travel so, we traveled last June for a month. I think I talked about it then already, but not seriously. Then I found the shop and I said ‘I found the place,’” Pierson said.

Although they are only open two days a week, from 1 to 6 p.m. Friday and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, the two have already met a lot of people and

are getting to know what the citizens of Monroe.

“It has been fun, it has been a lot of hard work but we’ve met a lot of nice people and we are having fun with it,” Frerichs said. “We have a lot of things that have never been used, some that have been very gently used and anything that is overused we donate to the clothing shops or churches.”

Pierson said that they will have a lot of holiday decorations available in the coming months along with a collection of costumes for Halloween.

“A lot of our things are good for seasonal decorating and for gifts. A lot of the people here come in weekly because we bring in new things all of the time,” Frerichs said.

The pair has even had kids in to look around finding treasures to call their own.

“We’ve even had some younger boys in here looking through our 50 cent boxes and find things that they enjoy,” Frerichs said.

The Vernon Company has announced that Vicki Palm has been promoted to the position of director of marketing effective immediately.

After joining the company as communication manager in 1997, Palm most recently held the position of supplier relations manager.

In this new role, Palm will assume management responsibilities for the Vernon marketing staff and will continue to oversee supplier relations. The marketing team is responsible for creating unique programs and services for Vernon account executives to help Palm market their businesses to both clients and prospective customers.

“Vicki has done a great job for us in her various roles at Vernon, and we’ve often relied upon her industry knowledge and experience to help us achieve our marketing goals. We believe that in this more strategic role, Palm will continue to benefit the organization and our Account Executives with her skills and enthusiasm,” Vernon Vice President of Sales and Marketing Dave Regan said.

Palm, a native of Iowa, graduated from Iowa State University with a bachelor of science degree with major in journalism/mass communication. She lives in the Newton area with her husband and two daughters.

IWD releases employer insurance tax table changes DES MOINES — Iowa law requires Iowa Workforce Development establish the tax table that will be used to determine the unemployment tax rate for eligible employers each year.

The unemployment insurance rate table trigger formula is primarily based on the trust fund balance, unemployment benefit payment history and covered wage growth. The formula is designed to enable the trust fund to keep pace with potential liabilities as covered employment and wages grow.

Based on this formula, the contribution rate table will move from Table 7 in 2015 to Table 6 in 2016.

This will cause the estimated average contribution rate for employers will increase from 1.24 percent to 1.57 percent. Even though rates increased, Table 6 represents a significant recovery from 2010 through 2012 when record benefit payouts triggered Tables 3 and 4. Table 6 is the most frequently triggered table and has been triggered nine out of the last 14 years.

“While the change to the unemployment tax rate is less than favorable, Iowa’s unemployment tax rate is among the lowest in the nation, due to the strength of our trust fund. That, coupled with sound fiscal management, prevented Iowa from having to borrow federal funds during the most recent recession. We still have a large number of zero-rated employers and new, non-construction employers continue to pay 1.0 percent, one of the lowest tax rates in the country,” IWD Director Beth Townsend said.

US stock market wavers between slight gains and losses NEW YORK (AP) — Major stock indexes flipped between slight losses and gains on Friday as traders turned their attention to a long-awaited meeting of the Federal Reserve next week. Oil and gas companies dropped as the price of oil took another fall.

U.S. crude sank after Goldman Sachs said that the global glut of oil could push prices as

low as $20 a barrel. Drilling companies had some of the biggest losses, with rig operator Transocean sliding 5 percent.

The Standard & Poor’s 500 was down two points, less than 0.1 percent, to 1,949 as of 1:25 p.m. Eastern time. The Dow Jones industrial average rose 12 points, or 0.1 percent, to 16,343, and the Nasdaq edged

down four points, a sliver of a percent, to 4,792.

Traders observed a moment of silence on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange before the opening bell to observe the 14th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Longtime commissioner Randy Wagner announced the meeting would be his last, with no reason stated. A few days prior, Brian Sims, who was just appointed as a commissioner in the spring of this year, announced he’s taking a hospital CEO position that will lead to him moving out of Jasper County, thus making him ineligible to serve on the commission.

Sims was not at Wednesday’s meeting. Neither was John Billingsley, who was recently voted commission chair, as he was on vacation. Wagner, Sue Springer and former chair Marta Ford were the three commissioners present at the meeting, along with Jasper County Veterans Affairs Director Chris Chartier.

Chartier said the next course of action will have to come from the Jasper County Board of Supervisors. Wagner said he’d like to see his replacement represent one of the other communities in the county, as the commission has historically been somewhat Newton-centric.

Chartier said someone will have to go before the board of supervisors with a recommendation of how to proceed. The commission was increased from three to five members earlier this year, with Sims and Springer added as commissioners in the spring.

“They’ve never taken our recommendations before,” Ford said regarding the supervisors. “Maybe they will this time — we can turn

who has taken over many of Chartier’s day-to-day duties over the summer, has resigned, leaving only volunteer Kurt Jackson to aid Chartier in the veterans affairs office.

Thorpe’s part-time position was funded on a 12-month basis through April 30, 2016. The commission agreed to have Billingsley approach the board of supervisors as to how that vacancy will be handled.

The board discussed sending as many commissioners as possible to the Iowa Association of County Commissioners and Veterans Services Officers “Fall School” in October in Des Moines.

The commission is set to meet again at 3 p.m. Oct. 14 in the county annex building.

An invocation by new NFD chaplain Beau Church and a short speech by Newton Mayor Mike Hanson was included at the ceremony. Newton Fire EMS/ Training Coordinator Rex Heisdorffer read a list of the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001. Fire Marshal Mike Knoll conducted the “four fives” bell ringing used to honor fallen firefighters.

The MacKenzie Highlanders performed two commemorative songs: “Dawning of the Day” and “Amazing Grace.” That was followed by a group procession of the pipes and drums and first-responder vehicles and the motorcycles from the fire department to the courthouse square, where the national anthem was followed by a flyover by vintage aircraft.

Newton Fire Chief Jarrod Wellik, who is one of the drummers for Iowa’s MacKenzie Highlanders, praised the work of all the agencies who helped make the solemn event run smoothly.

“It was a great service put on by the men and women of the Newton Fire Department, in collaboration with the organizers of Bike Night,” Wellik said. “Angie Taylor (one of the primary organizers of the event) did a great job.”

Greene’s invocation at the square and a few more words from Hansen were followed by the performance

by Gimikk. During the band’s break, Ret. Brig. Gen. Fred Chabot, a Newton resident, swore in four men and two women who are joining the U.S. Air Force.

Before Gimikk could launch into its crowd-pleasing first set that included hits from 38 Special and Poison, Hansen made some serious points about Sept.

11. He pointed out that the 9/11 attacks took one of a Newton resident — Jim Cleere — who Hansen had met, along with Cleere’s wife, Jean.

“I will always remember Jim’s radiant smile,” Hansen said. “Let us also give thanks to all of our first responders, who serve and protect our community each and every day.”

Chartier said turning in recommended names for replacing Sims and Wagner won’t necessarily lead to the recommendations being followed, but it might lead to new commissioners being named faster.

Chartier missed the July and August meetings and was off-duty, utilizing family medical leave.

Chartier, who was arrested for a second-offense OWI in May, missed the June and July regular meetings, but has recently returned to his regular everyday role in the Veterans Office in the county annex building.

No personnel action involving Chartier was mentioned during Wednesday’s meeting. The commission went into a closed session at the conclusion of the meeting to discuss a specific client.

Chartier announced at Wednesday’s meeting that Keith Thorpe,

Continued from Page 1A “Our numbers have far exceeded what we thought we would have,” Norrish said. “I thought, when we started, a lofty goal would be 100 shirts, and we’ve exceeded that and we have more and more coming all of the time.

It is really great that we can hopefully give a sizable donation to them.”

The Jasper County Pink Ribbon Support Group is a group that helps women find the support they need for dealing with the implications of breast cancer.

They also help the families, fighters and survivors that are dealing with all stages of diagnosis.

Bragging rights

One of greatest things about our newsroom is the Iowa Hawkeye fan dominance. We’re all fans except for two out-ofstaters who refuse to conform, despite my constant requests that they become Hawk fans already.

Our sports editor even declined a temporary tattoo with bling on Friday. I repeat — with bling!

I have always shown my Hawkeye pride in my office — posters, magnets, decorative blocks that spell out “Go Hawks” and so forth. I was thrilled to be recently gifted my late father-inlaw’s Iowa football that he once had in his office. Hawkeye pride runs deep in both of our families and it’s something my husband and I have tried to pass onto our kids. Middle child has turned on us for the time being, but she’ll still probably get Hawkeye gear for Christmas.

So when I started working at the Newton Daily News, I was pleased to learn of the allegiance to the University of Iowa. At least once, if not several times a day, I get to hear the Iowa Fight

Song. My reporter, a UI grad and season football ticketholder, has it set as her ringtone. We also have an either/or fan that attended both UI and ISU. We usually retain her loyalty through the football season, and then see a spike in Cyclone love during basketball season. Figures. And then there are two of my longstanding staff that followed me from Marshalltown that are among the Iowa loyal. Throw in our weeklies’ news editor and we’re one big, Iowa Hawkeye family.

The importance of workplace harmony when it comes to our in-state rivalry is of paramount importance. I learned this from my brother who once worked alongside a group of strictly ISU-only fans who are likely not good representatives of this particular fan base. We often heard of the misery endured, especially after losses in the Cy-Hawk series. It wasn’t until he was transferred and working among a less volatile fan base that he truly recognized how much he had dis-

liked his previous job — simply because of a sports rivalry.

On Friday we rolled out the Iowa/Iowa State Tailgate party at the newspaper and this introduced other NDN employees … those not of the Hawkeye fan mentality. Trash talk ensued.

Among other comments, I told an otherwise adorable member of the advertising team that she looked icky. Typically, I compliment her on her clothes and accessories because she’s rather stylish — the Cyclones shirt threw me for a loop, for sure.

As the table was divided in ISU and UI décor (compliments of our dual enrollee) there was some debate about which fans had brought more food. The neutral folks made a point of placing their contributions directly in the middle of the table (just pick a side!) and it wasn’t until a few items were getting gobbled up did I remember our fundraising effort for the United Way of Jasper County.

Fans were invited to “vote” for their team by dropping cash

or coins into that team’s cup.

While not a huge profit maker, we thought it would be fun to send at least a little cash toward the annual UWJC campaign.

Late Friday afternoon I was warned the Cyclones were waiting for my reaction to the vote tally. I started divvying up the dollars and counting the change when I realized the Hawks were a few dollars behind. I grabbed the Iowa cup and headed to my boss’s office. Also an out-ofstater and neutral party, I asked if he’d had an opportunity to donate to the Hawkeye fund. He raised his eyebrows at the question, and I explained the proceeds go to the United Way. He forked over $5, saving us from a loss.

Some questioned my antics, but a girl’s gotta do what a girls gotta do. Iowa Hawkeyes with the W — two days in a row, I might add.

Cutting red tape

Another View

Missing the forest for the AC Most of us care about conservation, at least a little. But sometimes we miss the forest for the trees — or in this case, the AC. Take the hostel I recently stayed at in California.

All the lights in the hostel were compact fluorescents — those energy-efficient coils that use less electricity than traditional incandescent bulbs. I paid for a bed in the women’s dormitory and then walked up the outdoor staircase in the blazing desert heat to reach it.

And then?

Walking into the dorm was like entering a walk-in refrigerator. The air conditioner was set to 65 degrees. The room was empty.

So my hostel saved a few watts on light bulbs only to waste far more by over-cooling an empty room in the desert. That’s like going on a diet by turning down a Tootsie Roll and then eating two pieces of cheesecake.

It’s not just businesses or homeowners that make these mistakes. Every now and then, experts who should know better give equally incongruous mes-

sages to the public.

I recently visited Sequoia National Park, where several signs rightly point out that air pollution obstructs the view of the mountains from the western side of the park.

Another sign on the park’s free shuttle bus notes that visitors can help the pollution problem by taking the shuttle

By Jill instead of their Richardson cars.

That’s true.

But like the compact fluorescent bulbs in the freezing empty room, it’s missing the point.

Most of the air pollution visible from the park doesn’t come from tourists driving between campsites and groves of Giant Sequoias. It comes from California’s nearby Central Valley, where much of the nation’s fruits, nuts, and vegetables are grown.

The valley has some of the worst air pollution in the coun-

try. Vehicle emissions play a major role, and it’ll take more than just a national park shuttle bus to clean those up.

However, the biggest source of pollution in the Central Valley is agriculture — particularly the end-of-season fires that some farmers set to clear out brush and plant trimmings. Although the state has reduced the pollution over the last decade, the view from the mountains reminded me of the smog in Beijing.

When tourists see the smog over Sequoia and feel cheated out of a beautiful view of the Western Divide, that would be an ideal time to educate them about the pollution’s true causes and solutions.

Sometimes well-meaning efforts at conservation fall short, and sometimes they’re downright absurd. But with a little more reflection, we can all make smarter choices.

I’m upset that the presidential candidates, all of them, rarely mention a huge problem: the quiet cancer that kills opportunity — regulation.

T h e accumulated burden of it is the reason that By John Stossel America is stuck in the slowest economic recovery since the Depression.

I understand why candidates don’t talk about it: Regulation is boring.

But it’s important.

The founders of this republic were willing to die rather than be subject to other people’s rules.

Today we are so accustomed to bureaucracy that we’ve forgotten what it means to be free.

We now have a million rules — many so complex that even legal specialists can’t understand them. Yet bureaucrats keep writing more.

And 22 million people work for government.

Okay, that wasn’t fair.

Many of those 22 million deliver mail, build roads and do things we consider useful. But at least a million are bureaucrats. And if you are a rule-maker and you don’t create new rules, you think you’re not doing your job.

On his “Grumpy Economist” blog, the Hoover Institution’s John Cochrane points out that most of these rule-makers were never even elected, and legislatures rarely vote on their new rules.

Yet “Regulators can ruin your life, and your business, very quickly, and you have very little recourse.”

Regulators have vast power to oppress.

Their power not only hurts the economy, it threatens our political freedom, says Cochran.

“What banker dares to speak out against the Fed? ... What hospital or health insurer dares to speak out against HHS

or ObamaCare? ... What real estate developer needing zoning approval dares to speak out against the local zoning board?

The agencies demand political support for themselves first of all.”

Speaking up will bring unwanted attention to your project, extra delays, maybe retaliation. It’s safer to keep your mouth shut. We learn to be passive and put up with more layers of red tape.

Fortunately, a few Americans resist. At Boston’s Children’s Hospital, head cardiologist Dr. Robert Gross dismissed Dr. Helen Taussig’s new idea for a surgical cure for “blue-baby syndrome.” He wanted to do things by the book.

So she took the technique to Johns Hopkins Hospital instead. It worked. You don’t hear much about blue-baby syndrome anymore. The embarrassed Gross went on to tell the story many times to teach medical students to listen to new ideas. Breaking the rules saved lives.

But that happened years ago. Few doctors break the rules today.

The consequences are too severe.

American entrepreneurs took advantage of a “permissionless economy” to create Google, Facebook, Amazon, etc., but they could accomplish that only because Washington’s bureaucrats didn’t know enough about what they were doing to slow them down.

Now regulators have their claws in every cranny of the Internet. Innovation will be much more difficult.

Today’s regulations are often vague. A typical edict: “The firm shall not engage in abusive practices.” That sounds reasonable, but what is “abusive”? The regulator decides. Compliance is your problem.

If you have the misfortune to be noticed by the bureaucracy, or maybe a business rival complains about you, your idea dies and you go broke paying lawyers.

A funeral service will be at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Sept. 16 at the Prairie City United Methodist Church, with burial following at Vandalia Cemetery.

Visitation will be from 5 to 8 p.m.

Tuesday, Sept. 15 at the church. Memorials may be directed to the Pleasant Hill United Methodist Church or the Prairie City Ambulance. Condolences may be left for the family at www.coburnfuneralhomes.com.

Mark was born on the farm south of Monroe, Nov. 3, 1932, to Earl and Ina (Honnold) Umble.

He died Sept. 10, 2015, due to complications

ter. Memorials to Skiff Hospice may be left at the Wallace Family Funeral Home and Crematory.

Ron was born June 18, 1934, in Des Moines. He graduated from Baxter High School in 1953. On Aug. 15, 1953, Ron was

united in marriage with Donna J. Van Baale in Newton. He worked for 30 years at the Maytag Company in Newton, as an automatic washer repairman, retiring in 1983. He was a member of the Local 997 Retirees Union, Purple Martin Conservation Asso-

ciation and the Nature Society.

Ron is survived by his wife, Donna Hill of Baxter; and his children, Rory Hill of Newton and Kathy ( James) Smith of Ottumwa. He was preceded in death by his parents; and a son, Dean A. Hill.

from a brain tumor.

Mark started picking corn at the age of eight.

He did the down rows because everybody else was taller.

He graduated from Monroe High School in 1951, and worked at Maytag in Newton.

He married Betty Jo (Osborn) Umble June 6, 1952. The following February, Uncle Sam sent him greetings and salutations and he proudly served. Two government-issue boys followed 12 months apart at Fort Knox and one in lowa two years later. As soon as he was discharged from the Army, he came home to south of Prairie City, and farming became his life’s work.

He instilled a love of the farm and agriculture that continues through all three boys. He was so proud of each and every one of his grandchildren and loved when the great-grands would visit.

Mark served 10 years on the Prairie City School Board. The new high school, now PCM

Middle School, was built during his tenure. Mark was full of fun and had a nickname for everybody. Every spring the kitchen sink was full of morels. Every time Betty made a skillet-full, she would eat one and Mark would eat the rest. With he and Betty’s many friends there have been decades of get-togethers, hundreds of pot-lucks, thousands of wonderful nights spent eating out with friends. Through the years there have been a number of calamities.

Some families send a member to law school, the Umbles always have needed a family member in the insurance business. And it didn’t matter what was on fire or what health problem required an ambulance on the way, to Mark it was “a piece of cake.”

Mark loved to farm, working in the shop and climbing up and down into the tractors until the very day the tumor took his legs. He will be so greatly missed by his wife Betty of 63 years, his sons

and their families and all who knew him.

Preceding Mark in death were his parents, Earl and Ina Umble; and his brother, Roger Umble.

Those left to honor his memory are his wife Betty Umble; son Mark (Carol) Umble and their children, Nick Umble and Amber Umble; son Joe (Connie) Umble and their children, Levi (Amber) Umble and Lacey (Rusty) Gulbranson; son Dan (Melanie) Umble and their children, Brad (Becci) Schaefer, Katie (Teddy) Hawley and Derrick Hoodjer. Great-grandchildren are Brookelyn Umble, Haylee and Hayden Umble, Jasper and Jade Gulbranson, Amelie Schaefer and baby Hawley on the way.

Mark is also survived by his sister Karen (Don) Mooty; brother-in-law Don (Marilyn) Osborn; and sisters-in-laws Virginia Umble, Corinne Osborn and Beverly Osborn; and many nieces and nephews.

Girlfriend turning down travel may be turned out as well DEAR ABBY: My girlfriend, “Ashley,” and I have been dating for three years. Every year I ask her to go on a trip with me to St. Louis where my parents live. It’s a weekend trip my parents sponsor for our entire family, and it involves a Cardinals baseball game. Every year she refuses to go.

When she invites me on her family fishing trip to New Mexico, I go.

When I ask why she won’t do the same for my family trips, she makes excuses like she doesn’t want to get up early. Most people in my family are early risers. Ashley is not. I tell her she can sleep as long as she likes; no one will care.

I believe there is something else that Ashley isn’t telling me. I have expressed my unhappiness about this, but it does no good. I am to the point of just ending this relationship.

I don’t understand her reluctance. I really want her to come with me and spend more time with my family.

What can I do? — MYSTIFIED IN THE SOUTH DEAR MYSTIFIED: Has Ashley met your family? If the answer is no, she may be afraid she won’t fit in or that they won’t like her for some reason. Unless you can get her to open up and tell you exactly why she won’t go, you will never be able to convince her.

Because this has become such a sore point, you need to tell your girlfriend that her inflexibility has become a deal-breaker. But if you do, you may have to be prepared to follow through.

DEAR ABBY: I have been married for eight years, and my husband is a wonderful spouse when it comes to almost everything. My complaint may seem shallow, but please hear me out.

A couple of years back, he started buying me potted plants rather than

cut flowers because “you get more for your money.” He buys me plants three or four times a year, and after receiving the third one I asked him to please go back to cut flowers. I neither like house plants nor do I want something I must find a place for in our yard. Despite this, he continues to buy me potted plants every time.

Each time he says he “forgot” I don’t want them.

I don’t want to seem ungrateful, but I am really frustrated. Today I received my 10th one. I suppose I seem like a jerk, but I really don’t understand why he keeps buying me the one thing I asked him not to buy. Your thoughts? — KATHY IN WASHINGTON DEAR KATHY: You appear to have married a man who is not only practical, but also unimaginative when it comes to gift-buying. That he would continue to buy you something you have repeatedly told him you would prefer not to have seems the opposite of considerate to me.

(On the other hand, many women would be glad that their spouse remembered any special occasion.)

Suggestion: The next time it happens, put HIM in charge of watering, replanting and caring for the plant, and things may change.

WELLMAN — Iowa authorities are investigating after a confrontation between Washington County Sheriff ’s deputies and a suicidal man ended with a deputy fatally shooting the man. The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation says the confrontation between deputies and 39-year-old Martin Francis Hammen happened early Sunday morning at Hammen’s rural home outside Wellman. Several hours earlier, deputies had gone to Wellman’s home because someone reported he was suicidal, but couldn’t locate him.

Police Chief Tim Carmody said his department is doing the best it can with its current 19,000-square-foot building, but more space is needed.

“This is about servicing the community,” he said. “This isn’t about wanting a new headquarters — it’s about needing one.”

5 Inspectors say nursing home mistreated three patients

PERRY — A nursing home in Perry mishandled the treatment of three patients who were transferred there this summer after a state mental hospital closed, according to state inspection reports. One of the patients died and another suffered a broken leg.

The Perry Health Care Center faces up to $13,500 in fines. Relatives of those patients are unhappy with the nursing home and the state’s decision to move their loved ones there.

—The Associated Press

In corn-growing states, tall crops pose seasonal road hazard The Associated Press DES MOINES — The broad leaves and thick stalks can stand up to 12 feet high, forming a wall of foliage that turns rural roads into long, narrow corridors of nothing but corn.

For drivers navigating the gravel roads that crisscross Midwestern farm country, the plants go by in a noiseless blur of green, yellow and brown. But the annual crop brings an often-ignored danger: Some roads are so sheltered by the towering corn that motorists can’t see each other until just before they collide, with potentially deadly results.

“There are so few people out driving, if you’re a gambling person, the odds are it’s not going to happen. But it only takes one time,” said Dave Struthers, who grows corn and raises hogs

near the small central Iowa city of Collins.

The peril is especially pervasive in Iowa, the nation’s top corn producer, where crops are grown on more than 90 percent of the land and at least five people have been killed so far this season in crashes blamed on corn. Authorities issue regular warnings to the public, but generally they can do little more than plead with drivers to use caution.

The problem is also widespread across Illinois, Nebraska, Minnesota and Indiana. Each year, the risk climbs with the corn itself, beginning around mid-July, when the plants top 6 feet, and lasting until harvest in early October.

Key contributors are the sparse traffic and the lack of stop signs. For eight months a year, motorists can easily spot

other vehicles or at least the plume of dust they stir up. Consequently, many drivers barely slow down when approaching intersections. And they often stick to that habit even as the corn grows taller, traveling 50 or 60 mph down the thin ribbons of gravel or pavement.

Two people died last summer in Iowa. In the past decade, there have been 28 to 51 crashes a year in which obstructions — primarily corn — have been a factor, according to the Iowa Transportation Department.

Struthers has been in two crashes in which he was surprised by a vehicle emerging from a dead-end dirt road onto the larger gravel road he was traveling. After the second time, he was thrown from his pickup and spent the night in a hospital.

“I remember seeing him,

who heads traffic and safety for the Iowa Department of Transportation.

Adding to the problem in recent years are improved seeds that let farmers plant their already dense fields even more tightly, resulting in an abundant crop but also creating a more impenetrable green wall, Gent said. The seeds are also drought tolerant, so even during dry summers, the plants flourish.

“It’s taller. It’s hardier. It’s more lush,” Gent said.

Roger Sy, a district director of the Illinois Corn Growers Association, recalled crashes happening not far from his farm near Newman, Illinois, including some in which teenagers have died. There will always be some people who travel too fast and don’t stop at intersections, Sy said, but crashes tend to remind people to drive cautiously.

and the next thing I knew I was coming to in the ditch,” Struthers said.

This year’s Iowa crashes include the deaths of three brothers. The eldest, 16-year-old Jamie Singletary, was driving his two younger siblings, Carson and Christian, ages 13 and 10, to a football practice on Aug. 6, when their car collided at an unmarked intersection with a truck carrying rock to a construction site. Authorities said tall corn could have made it difficult for the boys to see the oncoming vehicle.

Another crash killed a woman in northeast Iowa, and an accident involving two Collins-Maxwell/Baxter football players killed a father of five children, Colfax businessman Jacob Meyers.

“It’s a tricky situation and an odd situation,” said Steve Gent,

Newton tumbles to Grinnell in district opener

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Using a 13-play drive to score a touchdown on the opening drive of Friday’s Class 3A District 6 contest at home against Grinnell’s Tigers seemed to bode well for Newton High’s Cardinals.

The Tigers answered with a one-play scoring drive — a 71-yard run by Jake Simon plus a two-point conversion run

by Joseph Rivera — to take an 8-7 lead.

That’s where it stood at halftime. Grinnell converted three quick drives in the third quarter to extend their lead en route to a 39-21 victory.

And so it went at H.A. Lynn Stadium in a game of long and short.

Newton had long drives, coming up empty on four more drives in the first half — a penalty brought back a long run to the Grinnell 3-yard line, two stopped after coming up short on a fourth-down play in Grinnell territory and a punt. The Cardinals only had four possessions in the second half, scoring on two long drives.

“Consistency is what we come back to. We’re not able to go back to the well with things that work,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said. “After the first drive, we tried to come back to plays in subsequent drives, and we got blown up on them. Execution and consistency are the keys.”

Running plays from Joseph Banfield, Jordan Norvell and Dalton Nevels propelled the Cardinal offense in the first drive. Newton quarterback Garrett Sturtz, who was 8-of-10 in the first half, completed a 7-yard pass to Norvell on a fourth-down play to the Grinnell 20-yard line.

Nevels gained nine yards on the next play then Norvell pushed all the way to the 1-yard line. Banfield bulled over for the first of three 1-yard touchdown runs of the night by the senior running back.

Josh Gulling kicked the extra point for a 7-0 lead with 6:03 remaining in the first quarter.

Hawkeyes beat Cyclones, Aquagirls capture second at Ames Invitational claim Cy-Hawk Trophy AMES (AP) — C.J. Beathard helped ease the sting of an emotional week for Iowa.

Beathard threw three touchdown passes, including the tie-breaker to Riley McCarron with 2:14 left, lifting Iowa to a 31-17 victory over Iowa State on Saturday.

Jordan Canzeri’s fumble deep in Iowa State territory had thwarted an earlier drive by the Hawkeyes (2-0).

But their defense forced the Cyclones

(1-1) to punt. Desmond King returned it to midfield and Beathard took the Hawkeyes to the decisive score, finding the 5-foot-9 McCarron in the back of the end zone from 25 yards out.

The victory followed an emotional week for the Hawkeyes, who are mourning the deaths, four days apart, of former football standout Tyler Sash and former basketball star Roy Marble.

Colfax-Mingo wins district opener over Lynnville-Sully

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Colfax-Mingo quarterback Jared Myers (11) slips through a hole behind the blocks of Jacob Buehrer (25) and Michael Deal during (64) during the Tigerhawks’ 40-15 win over Lynnville-Sully on Friday. Myers threw for 321 yards and two scores and rushed for 128 yards and two more touchdowns in the Class A District 7 victory.

COLFAX — Opposing coaches have to pick their poison against the Colfax-Mingo football team.

Jared Myers is a returning all-state quarterback, Blake Summy earned allstate honors as a wide receiver and Jacob Lietz is a do-everything all-stater.

And that list doesn’t even include a few other Tigerhawks who can make plays.

Friday night, Lynnville-Sully chose to take away Lietz with bracket coverage, and Myers took advantage of a thinner box during the Tigerhawks’ 4015 win.

Myers threw for 321 yards, ran for 128 and accounted for four touchdowns in the Class A District 7 opener for both teams.

Lynnville-Sully’s choice to pay extra attention to Lietz left the middle of the field open for Myers and

other Tigerhawks to make plays.

Colfax-Mingo led 27-8 at halftime and cruised to a win on Homecoming.

“I think it’s a game we announced we’re in the district race, and we are not here to get fourth,” Colfax-Mingo coach Jeff Lietz said. “We are here to win it.”

Lynnville-Sully struggled to move the ball all night against the Tigerhawk defense.

The Hawks had an early lead following a C-M fumble but reached the end zone only one other time. Sage Ehresman sprinted 67 yards for a touchdown on the first play from scrimmage in the third.

“We got up 8-7, and we just have to answer the call,” Lynnville-Sully coach Mike Parkinson said. “If you want to be a good football team, you have to learn how to make plays when you need them.”

The Tigerhawks made a statement right from the

opening kickoff, marching 88 yards in nine plays to score.

Myers hit Summy and Colin Lourens on firstdown completions. He connected again with Lourens on a 35-yard touchdown pass.

Colfax-Mingo turned it over twice, and the first mistake allowed Lynnville-Sully to take the lead.

The Hawks recovered a fumble and needed only three plays to go 15 yards for the score. Kobe Fisk found Noah Engle for the touchdown on third down. Ehresman’s twopoint conversion gave the visitors a short-lived lead.

From that point on, Colfax-Mingo (2-1, 1-0) was in control.

The Tigerhawks went 54 yards in eight plays on their next possession and Myers capped the scoring drive with a short touchdown plunge.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Lynnville-Sully senior Kobe Fisk (19) denies Colfax-Mingo tight end Colin Lourens a touchdown during second-half action in Colfax on Friday. Lourens caught a touchdown earlier in the game and the Tigerhawks went on to win the Class A District 7 opener 40-15. Fisk was injured in the second half and did not return.

Prep Football Continued from Page 1B Lynnville-Sully went three and out on its next possession. Colfax-Mingo went up 21-8 after marching 56 yards in seven plays.

That drive started with a 21-yard completion to Jarod Nichols and ended with a 14-yard touchdown pass from Myers to Nichols.

Myers converted a third-andnine with a 16-yard completion to Jacob Lietz and the touchdown pass came on third and seven.

“We got some momentum early, and our boys played the way they are capable of,” Coach Lietz said.

“Jared made some big plays on third and fourth down all night. I have to give a lot of credit to our offensive line. They gave Jared an opportunity back there, but he’s a special kid.”

Some of those plays came on defense. He recovered a fumble on the Hawks’ next possession and also snagged an interception in the second half.

His final touchdown in the first half came on a 1-yard run and it capped a short 35-yard drive that took five plays.

Lynnville-Sully got a bit of momentum in the second half when Ehresman got loose for a 67-yard touchdown run.

Unfortunately for the Hawks, Colfax-Mingo got great field position on its next possession after a personal-foul penalty.

The Tigerhawks took back momentum on just one play when Myers got loose in the middle of the field, fumbled the ball at the 25yard line and Summy scooped it up and went the rest of the way.

“We made a big play to get back into the game, and then we mentally checked out,” Parkinson said.

“We have to be next play and can’t be caught up in our big play.”

Colfax-Mingo’s defense made sure the Hawks (1-2, 0-1) stayed in neutral the rest of the night.

Jacob Lietz and Myers snagged interceptions on two of the Hawks’ next three possessions and the third drive ended with a turnover on downs.

The scoreboard changed one last time when Colfax-Mingo made it 40-15 with less than two minutes to play following a 1-yard touchdown run by Jacob Buehrer.

Myers ended the game 28-of-43 through the air and he gained the 128 rushing yards on 31 carries.

Jacob Lietz finished with 11 catches for 88 yards, while Lourens hauled in five passes for 86 yards.

Summy and Nichols weren’t bad either as they combined for 10 catches and 135 yards.

As big of a night as the offense had, it was the defense that Coach Lietz thought was the key in the win.

Alan Wheeler led the defense with 10 tackles, while Jacob Lietz had eight and the pick. Myers and Buehrer both recovered fumbles.

Fisk was injured in the fourth quarter and did not return, but Parkinson thinks his senior signal caller will be fine.

The Hawks look to get back on track at 7 p.m. Friday when they host Montezuma in Sully.

Colfax-Mingo tries to keep the momentum when it goes on the road to face Belle Plaine at 7 p.m.

contest against Benton (12, 0-1 district) Friday at Van Horne. Benton lost its district opener to Ballad, 42-14.

“We’re going to keep working with these guys to play at their best each game. We have good senior leadership to help us do that,” Ergenbright said.

“We are who we are and we’ll keep grinding.”

Continued from Page 1B The Tigers set up shop at their own 28-yard line following the kickoff. Jake Simon raced through the Newton defense for 71 yards to the end zone. A two-point conversion run by Joseph Rivera put Grinnell in front 8-7 at the 5:43 mark.

It appeared Newton was going to answer on its next possession. Nevels got out on a sweep play and had the ball at the Grinnell 3-yard line.

It all came back because of a holding penalty. The Cardinals gave the ball back to the Tigers on a punt.

The Cardinal defense handled the Tiger offense and forced a punt. Newton’s offense moved the ball to Grinnell’s 23, then came up just inches short on a quarterback keeper by Sturtz.

Newton’s Brady Smith sacked Grinnell quarterback Cade McKnight to help keep the Tiger offense under wraps. Following another Tiger punt, the Cardinals moved the ball again into Grinnell territory. They again came up short on a fourth-down play.

Simon helped the Tigers push to the Newton 32. On a fourth-down play, McKnight misfired on a pass, and the ball went back to Newton.

Banfield, who was the workhorse for the Cardinals with 28 carries for 154 yards, gained 13 yards on the ground and caught a 5-yard pass from Sturtz. The Cardinal drive stalled and they punted with less than 10 seconds left in

the first half.

McKnight picked up the pace through the air in the second half for the Tigers.

He threw a 30-yard scoring strike to Zaine Leedom on the fourth play of the third quarter. Rivera had another two-point conversion run.

It was three plays and out for the Cardinal offense. The Tigers had just 45 yards to go for their next score and the final 27 yards came on a touchdown run by Simon. Rivera’s third two-point conversion run made it 24-7 at the 6:43 mark of the third period.

Matthew Thompson intercepted a Sturtz pass and returned it to the Newton 23-yard line. Rivera caught a 23-yard touchdown pass from McKnight and Thompson caught the two-point conversion pass from Seth Howard.

“Big plays hurt us again tonight. Our margin for er-

ror is very small, so we try to put people in perfect position to make plays,” Ergenbright said. “I thought they kind of handled us on the offensive and defensive lines at times.

They get on us with blocks, and we can’t get off the blocks to make plays. The Simon kid is very good in open space.”

Newton used a steady diet of Banfield runs on its next possession. Sturtz did find Bryce Tish for 16 yards on a pass play and 15 yards were tacked on because of a personal foul assessed against Grinnell.

The Cardinals used the final 5:32 of the third quarter and 44 seconds of the fourth period to secure a 1-yard touchdown run by Banfield.

Gulling’s kick made it 32-14.

Grinnell responded with its longest scoring drive of the game — 13 plays — capped with a 6-yard touchdown run

Lynnville-Sully did win the tournament.

“It was a day of very exciting and very stressful volleyball,” Hawk head coach Heather James said. “We knew going into the Colfax match we had to get a win for a chance to be tournament champs. ”We started out slow hitting out the back. After we got warmed up, the girls played tough and pushed hard to the finish. There is never a dull moment when this team plays.”

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

The people who know you best know what your weakness is. The people who love you best will help you avoid your weakness as they play to your strengths.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

You’ll hear an interesting story. Did it really happen?

How much does it matter now? These are the important questions, but not quite as important as the entertainment

value of the story.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When you take a strong stance on an issue, some will be confused, others will be dismayed, and then there are those who will rush to your side to form an alliance.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22Dec. 21). A job is coming due that you don’t have a hugely strong motivation to complete.

You need to either bring more people into it, or increase the stakes with bigger rewards for finishing and consequences for not.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Today you can prevent hearing lies by letting others know that you’re fine with an

array of answers and explanations. Bring down the barriers that might cause people to be dishonest.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You’d be surprised how many people share your (socially unacceptable) opinion.

Maybe you shouldn’t say it out loud, but admitting it to yourself can be a huge relief.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You give what you give, and that’s good enough. Be confident in that -- no excuses or apologies! The stronger you are in your stance the better others will understand and accept you.

Aquagirls Continued from Page 1B own waters with 408 team points. NCMP piled up 234 points, far ahead of thirdplace Storm Lake at 177 and Fort Dodge at 170.

Des Moines Roosevelt took fifth with 125 followed

by Carroll with 123. Perry scored 42 and Des Moines Hoover was eighth with 36.

“Placing second as a team was our goal. Overall, it was a solid meet with the girls taking the opportunity to race and practice little things we have been working on,” NCMP head coach Sarah Patterson said. “We saw good competition, and that’s one huge step of making improvements on our own team.

We go home and tweak little things, work hard and set our goals a little higher.”

Patterson said it was exciting to see Eide and Hoffman give their all on the diving board and to the competition.

She said there were nerves during warmups for both girls, but they overcame all that.

“They did awesome. I am not their diving coach, but I was proud to be their coach representing our team,” Patterson said.

Kelly Rose of Grinnell is the NCMP diving coach.

Samantha Hedrick posted the lone event win of the day for the Aquagirls. She won the 100-yard freestyle race in 53.50 seconds. Teammates Madeline Webb and Alexis Stout finished fifth and sixth, respectively, in 58.84 and

59.19 seconds.

Patterson said Hedrick came to the meet late after taking the ACT in the morning. She said Hedrick had a five-minute warmup before swimming the 100 freestyle.

NCMP’s relays chalked up third-place finishes in the 200 medley, the 200 freestyle and the 400 freestyle. Sydney Jenkins, Hannah Rhoads, Emily Miller and Stout opened the swimming events with a third-place time of 1 minutes, 58.02 seconds in the medley.

Jenkins and Stout combined with Elizabeth Myers and Hedrick for third in the 200 freestyle in 1:44.24, just out-touching Fort Dodge, 1:44.56. In the final event of

the day — the 400 freestyle — the foursome of Webb, Myers, Rhoads and Hedrick posted a 3:49.47, getting out-touched

by Storm Lake, 3:49.32.

“Samantha had the fastest split legs in both relays of anybody in the whole meet,” Patterson said. “That is pretty impressive. Also, our C medley relay team of Lakin Jenkins, Lindsey Blommers, Alex Inskeep and Alexis DeVries beat Ames’ C relay by over two seconds — that is pretty cool, too.”

NCMP placed two swimmers in the top six in the 200 freestyle race. Taking fifth was Webb in 2:10.28 and Myers was sixth in 2:11.25. Jessica Zahn placed 10th in 2:17.37.

Rhoads took sixth in the

200 individual medley in 2:24.42 as Ames had the top three finishers in the race.

Miller was 11th in 2:30.19 and Sierra Griffith was 14th in 2:33.32.

“Our middle distance swims were solid, but at this point in the season, are at a plateau,” Patterson said. “We will be looking for that one meet where we can put tired and together for those season-best swims.”

In the 50 freestyle, Stout touched sixth in 26.54 seconds and Jenkins was seventh in 26.79. Willa Colville took 17th in 30.34. Jenkins placed sixth in the 100 butterfly in 1:06.23 while Myers was eighth in 1:06.94 and Sarah

Prendergast in 1:09.60.

Zahn logged a seventh-place finish in the 500 freestyle in 6:09.89. Taylor Tremmel was 13th in 6:28.43 and Inskeep finished 15th in 6:35.15. Patterson said all three had solid races. She said the team is working on its splits and mental toughness with the distance girls.

Rhoads swam an out-of-ordinary event — the 100 backstroke — and placed sixth in 1:06.99. Prendergast took eighth in 1:03.50 and Lakin Jenkins was 16th in 1:13.87.

“I challenged Sarah to go under 1:10, and she did it. She can swim almost any event for our team. Alexis Stout continues to be one of out top sprinters. She is a hard worker, and has an outstanding attitude toward training, competition and her teammates,” Patterson said.

Freshman Lindsey Blommers captured fourth in the 100 breaststroke in 1:12.60 while Griffith was seventh in 1:15.26 and DeVries placed 12th in 1:19.37.

“We have things to work on and need to stay strong as we head into the tired portion of our season,” Patterson said.

“Homecoming is coming up and band competitions will start soon. If we push through as a team, we will be amazing.

Our season motto is ‘Train with Courage,’ and we plan to do just that.”

On Tuesday, NCMP takes on Southeast Polk and host Johnston.

Cy-Hawk Continued from Page 1B

Iowa tailback LeShun Daniels Jr. (29) runs through several Iowa State tacklers in the first half of Saturday’s Cy-Hawk football game at Jack Trice Stadium; 2.

Iowa State wideout Quentin Bundrage (9) celebrates a first-half touchdown; 3. Iowa State wideout Dondre Daley (middle) uses the block of teammate Oni Omoile (77) in the second half; 4. Iowa left tackle Boone Myers (52) celebrates a Hawkeye victory. Iowa outscored Iowa State 21-0 in the second half and won 31-17.

“Today’s victory is a rewarding end to a very difficult and challenging week for everybody,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. “On top of that, an important chapter for our football team. I told the football team last night that we were going to have to earn this.”

Sash, 27, an all-Big Ten defensive back who intercepted three passes in a 35-3 victory over Iowa State in 2009, died Tuesday at his home in Oskaloosa.

Marble, the school’s career scoring leader, died Friday at age 48 after a yearlong battle with cancer.

The Hawkeyes wore Sash’s jersey number, 9, on their helmets and fans of both schools in the soldout stadium stood for a moment of silence in honor of the two athletes before the game.

An interception by King after McCarron’s touchdown gave the ball right back to Iowa, and Canzeri scored on an 8-yard run to finish off a strong second half for the Hawkeyes, who thwarted Iowa State’s offense at every turn after halftime.

“I think we got too complacent in the second half,” ISU linebacker Jordan Harris said. “We had a seven-point lead. It’s not that much, especially when you’re playing a Big Ten football team. We got a little comfortable and took our foot off the gas.”

On a perfect late-summer day, Beathard finished 15-of-25 for 215 yards and no interceptions.

Most of his passes went to Matt VandeBerg, who finished with career highs of nine catches for 114 yards and a touchdown, though he didn’t actually catch the ball on that play.

Teammate Henry Krieger-Coble fumbled on his way to the end zone after catching a pass, but the hustling VandeBerg picked

the ball up on the bounce at the Iowa State 3 and carried in to tie the game at 17 earlier in the fourth quarter.

Both defenses then dominated until the Hawkeyes struck late.

“The most impressive thing about the way C.J. played was him keeping his poise,” Ferentz said.

“When you talk to him or see him on the sideline, he never looks any different.

He doesn’t get rattled.”

Iowa State’s Sam Richardson finished 19-of-35 for 247 yards, two touchdowns and the late interception. But he was sacked four times and Iowa State managed only 63 yards rushing and 310 total yards, just 66 in the second half when Iowa hassled Richardson with a stronger pass rush.

Richardson’s 29-yard strike to Jauan Wesley, who returned from a onegame suspension, gave Iowa State a 17-10 halftime lead.

The Cyclones seemed to have momentum after thwarting Iowa’s fake field goal on the final play of the opening half but went three-and-out to start the second half and never again found any offensive rhythm.

Beathard also rushed for 77 yards and showed his elusiveness on a 93yard drive that pulled the Hawkeyes into a 10-all tie late in the first half.

He avoided a safety by stretching out of the end zone on a sack, broke three tackles on a 44-yard scramble, then danced away from pressure on a 19-yard completion to Canzeri. Beathard completed the drive with a 14-yard strike to Tevaun Smith in the back corner of the end zone.

“It just feels good,” Iowa center Austin Blythe said after hoisting the trophy that goes to the game’s winner. “It’s what we want to do as a senior class is go out and win those trophy games, and this was a good start.”
