Brock recovering after grain bin fall

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News There are no staircases around the grain bin on Joe Brock’s farm. However, after Thursday’s accident, the Jasper County super visor said that arrangeBrock m e n t c o u l d change.

“I’ll definitely get a couple of stairways on that bin soon,” Brock said Sunday, reflecting on a fall from a height of about 20 feet from the ladder of his grain bin Thursday morning.

The fall at his farm, located along South 68th Avenue West, south of Newton, didn’t lead to any serious injuries, aside from what he called “soft tissue damage.” The fall did seem to aggravate some existing medical issues, and he was transported to Iowa Lutheran Hospital in Des Moines.

“I’m on the mend,” Brock said. “I don’t have any broken bones — it just made things worse with the problems I already had.”

Brock, 58, said he already had a torn meniscus in both knees, and planned to have the more recent of the two injuries surgically treated after this year’s harvest. He

Sanders to host town hall meeting at Newton High School Public event to be held Saturday night

By Kate Malott Newton Daily News Presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders will return to Iowa with a special stop in Newton Saturday night.

Sanders will host a Jasper County town hall meeting at 7 p.m. Saturday at Newton High School, 800 E. Fourth St. S. — the same night as the NHS Homecoming dance.

The town hall style meeting will take place in the high school auditorium where Sanders will discuss current issues with local residents.

Doors open at 6 p.m.

Jasper County Democrats Chair Taylor Van De Krol will be meeting with the Sanders campaign Tuesday, but is unsure if all event details will be decided by that date.

“This is a great opportunity for anyone. Whether you’re a Democrat, Republican or independent, I encourage everyone to attend these events. Iowa plays a vital role in the presidential election, and Iowans need to look at all candidates and issues closely to make an educated decision on Feb. 1.” Van De Krol said.

Sanders is the third Democratic

presidential candidate to come to Jasper County this caucus season.

He will also appear in Fort Dodge and Mason City on Sunday.

The Newton High School Homecoming dance is scheduled from 8:45 to 11:45 p.m. in the lower gym of the high school, while Sanders will appear in the Center for Performing Arts.

also said he’s had four discs in his back that have caused him problems since he was a teenager.

Brock said he was at his farm alone Thursday morning, and saw a break in the weather. He needed to get an extension cord to the top of the bin, and the ladder on his bin is a traditional straightup ladder with no protective cover.

He wasn’t able to grip the ladder firmly with both hands as he carried the cord.

“I guess the lesson learned is not try to carry something while climbing a ladder,” Brock said.

Brock said he landed on both his tailbone and his lower back. He said the fall could have been much worse, as he grazed an auger that could have injured him severely, had he landed directly on it.

The two-term supervisor, who was re-elected to the three-member board last year, said he doesn’t normally carry his phone with him out on the farm, but he was expecting a call. He was able to call 911 at 10:24 a.m., reporting back pain and trouble breathing, and the dispatcher kept him on the line until help arrived. Brock said the response time from both the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office and the Prairie City Fire Department ambulance seemed very short.

Progress Industries recognized with 2015 Top Workplaces award Newton Daily News Progress Industries has been awarded a 2015 Top Workplaces honor by the Des Moines Register. The Top Workplaces lists are based solely on the results of an employee feedback survey administered by Workplace Dynamics, LLC, a leading research firm that specializes in organizational health and workplace improvement.

Several aspects of workplace culture were measured, including alignment, execution and connection.

Employers are categorized into size bands, because smaller-sized employers tend to score higher than midsized employers, and mid-sized employers tend to score higher than large employers. The employers are then ranked within their size band, based solely on employee responses to the survey statements. The top employers in each size band are then selected as the Top Workplaces in Iowa.

Progress Industries ranked at number 40 among the 50 top employers in the mid-sized category. To be a Top

Workplace, organizations must meet strict standards for organizational health. And who better to ask about work life than the people who live the culture every day — the employees.

Time and time again, research has proven that what’s most important to them is a strong belief in where the organization is headed, how it’s going to get there, and the feeling that everyone is in it together.

Progress Industries was established in 1979 in Newton and expanded services into the Des Moines market in

1991 and Ames in 2014. Today, Progress Industries provides employment placement and training, residential and day habilitation services for approximately 300 central Iowans with disabilities on an annual basis.

Progress Industries employs 250 full and part-time people. The mission of Progress Industries is “supporting people to achieve a fulfilling life in their community.”

Iowa unemployment rate drops to 3.7 percent Alex Olp/Jasper County Tribune Blue Ribbon Cafe, which serves breakfast and lunch from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., opened for business Aug. 26. Owners Jeanne and Al Conover feature certified angus beef and certified berkshire pork on their menu.

Baxter’s new restaurant provides hometown feel

By Alex Olp Jasper County Tribune BAXTER — Blue Ribbon Cafe opened for business recently and gave Baxter its first sitdown restaurant in three years.

The cafe, located on Highway F17, is now open from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. offering breakfast and lunch specials. It’s the first cafe-style restaurant in Baxter since Mona’s Off Main closed at the same location a few years ago.

“Baxter needed a restaurant real bad and people wanted it.

The last couple days we’ve realized we have real good support,” Blue Ribbon Cafe owner Jeanne Conover said. “They will support us and hopefully continue to support us. It’s been three years since we had a restaurant in town and people are really missing it, so they’re ready for some good home cooked meals.”

Conover owns the business with her husband, Al Conover, and said they have been learning as they go since they purchased the property one year ago.

In the past year, the two have done a lot of interior and exterior work to create a hometown

restaurant with a local menu.

The long wait came to an end Aug. 26 as the restaurant opened and began serving fresh meals to the community.

However, there was plenty of planning that went into opening day with this being their first restaurant. Jeanne and Al held a test run Aug. 24 to work out any last kinks and gather a feeling on how the cafe will run.

“It’s a new venture for us. It’s very different from what we’ve done in our lives,” she said.

The married couple also owns Conover Auction Service in Baxter, where Al is an auctioneer and Jeanne is a livestock insurance agent. They also manage livestock and even incorporate that certified angus beef and certified berkshire pork on their menu at Blue Ribbon Cafe.

Jeanne said the community is responding well to the menu and customers have already packed the restaurant on multiple occasions.

As for the name of the restaurant, Blue Ribbon Cafe comes from their families’ lifetime involvement in 4-H. Both Jeanne and Al grew up on farms and participated in 4-H, along with

their kids and grandchildren.

However, they decided on the name Blue Ribbon Cafe due to Al’s family history.

“When the Iowa State Fair started giving awards out — it was called the Blue Ribbon Family — they were the first family named for the blue ribbon. So that’s why we call it the Blue Ribbon Cafe,” Jeanne said.

Blue Ribbon Cafe has been open for three weeks and Jeanne said she can’t thank Baxter and the surrounding communities enough for all the support the restaurant has received.

“There have been a lot of, not just friends, but business people here in town and farmers. Just the whole community and the surrounding areas are supportive,” Jeanne said.

“They’ve been looking for a place to eat for lunches and breakfasts rather than just stopping by the convenience store and grabbing something quick.

We’ve had tremendous support so far.”

DES MOINES — Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate decreased slightly to 3.7 percent in August from 3.8 percent in July. The state’s jobless rate was 4.3 percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate dropped to 5.1 percent in August.

“Following a slight uptick in July, Iowa’s unemployment rate returned to 3.7 percent in August,” Iowa Workforce Development Director Beth Townsend said. “Total nonfarm employment was down slightly this month, but the total number of unemployed Iowans decreased to its lowest level since February 2008.”

The number of unemployed Iowans decreased to 62,400 in August from 63,900 in July. The current estimate is 11,700 lower than the year ago level of 74,100.

The total number of working Iowans increased to 1,637,700 in August. This figure was 1,200 higher than July, and 2,600 higher than one year ago.

US stocks fall sharply as investors mull Fed’s decision NEW YORK (AP) — Fears over slowing global growth hammered stocks in the U.S. and Europe on Friday and lifted prices of government bonds and other assets seen as safer bets.

The stock sell-off came a day after the Federal Reserve decided to hold interest rates near zero.

That means borrowing costs will remain low for a while yet, a prospect that has in the past typically boosted stocks. But some investors, expecting the Fed would be confident enough to nudge rates up by at least a quarter of a point, interpreted the stance as a sign that the global economy is dangerously weak.

The Fed has kept its benchmark rate close to zero for almost seven years. In that time, U.S. stocks have nearly tripled from their financial crisis low.

The Fed meets again next month and in December.

Among U.S. stocks making big moves, JPMorgan Chase fell $1.71, or 2.7 percent, to $60.94 as investors judged that lower interest rates for longer mean banks won’t be able charge more for loans.

Citigroup slumped $1.36, or 2.6 percent, $50.29.

“Various little changes, as well as big ones, can save you money,” Boat said. “Weatherization and energy efficiency have benefits for all seasons.

The class covers general energy efficiency concerns, but due to the timing will have an emphasis on gearing up for winter weather.”

All attendees will take home an energy-efficiency gift bag filled with a digital thermometer, a smart power strip and outlet gaskets, among others items to help make the home more efficient and save money. One lucky winner will take home a Wi-Fi smart thermostat, which is valued at $249.

“I think the take away message from this class will largely be that the little things matter,” Boat said. “Slight changes in behavior are an important part of energy efficiency, as well as implementing larger projects for greater impacts.”

Newton joined the Hometown Rewards program earlier this year. The program rewards Iowa communities for cutting back energy use. It partners with Newton to set energy savings goals and find ways to meet them over a twoyear period.

If the goals are met, the program will help fund an energy-efficient project chosen by your community. Past projects include new LED streetlights, an energy-efficient heating and cooling system for a school and solar panels for a town library.

The Rev. James Miller and his wife, Janelle, not only helped provide support to the Keaslings, but their church work is only one of their vocations. The couple owns Integrity Cleaning, whose jobs often include homes damaged in ways similar to the Keasling’s residence, located at 308 W. 15th St. N. Carrie Keasling said she stays in Des Moines to care for her grandson during the week, and she and Danny had left and were almost to Mitchellville when a neighbor called to tell them their house was on fire.

Newton Fire Marshal Mike Knoll said the house was full of smoke when firefighters arrived. The fire was contained to the basement, but the house did sustain heavy smoke damage to the main floor.

Knoll said it appears the fire started in a walk-in closet in the basement where the iron that was left plugged in and on. He estimates the damage at $150,000.

Janelle Miller and the Christian Life Church of Newton quickly used social media to help round up supplies for the couple. The Keaslings have stayed with various family members in the Des Moines area since the fire.

Carrie Keasling said she wants her experience to serve as a “public service announcement” about the dangers of

Start the Press

An uphill fight against misconceptions

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Sept. 21, 2015

Editor’s Note: This column originally published Nov. 24, 2014.

Last week I found myself standing with Cliff Huxtable.

Not with Bill Cosby, but with Cliff, the fictional character I adored as a child. As the allegations came in that Cosby had sexually assaulted several young women, and drugged them in order to do so, everything in me wanted to believe it didn’t happen.

Like many, I idolized Bill Cosby as the star of “The Cosby Show,” which we watched religiously. Growing up I thought he was maybe one of the funniest men ever (why couldn’t my dad be that cool?) and admired the entire Huxtable family. I was proud to receive a photo of the cast, posing on the stairway of the Huxtable home, after writing a letter to the show. I was probably 8 years old.

Just a few weeks ago I in-

dulged in a Cosby Show marathon. It was still enjoyable after all these years.

So the onslaught of allegations was hard to take. In fact, I’m ashamed to admit I wasn’t going to believe the allegations.

I have written a number of stories about sexual assault awareness, and I’ve been entrusted to write and report the stories of sexual assault survivors. I’ve also worked alongside some amazing people who work as advocates and counselors for victims, and with police officers who specialize in sexual assault cases.

Still, when the news broke, I thought to myself — what is wrong with these women?

They’re making it up. They want attention.

After a few aggravating hours, I finally decided I to reach out to a friend of mine who works at a sexual assault care center. I gave her the precursor that I felt

a bit crazy for feeling the way I did. I recognized that I needed a reality check.

The biggest question: Is it typical for victims to wait so long to report an assault? The answer is yes. It’s completely typical. Victims worry about retaliation — and about being believed. In fact, most victims will never report an assault.

I know this.

She said many of Cosby’s alleged victims were very young at the time of the assault — many wouldn’t feel they had any power to speak out, especially against such a high-profile person.

I know this.

Remember, she said, false reporting a sexual assault is lower than any other crime.

I know this.

How could someone like myself, with the education and experiences I have, question these women? I think it’s a powerful example of what our society has

ingrained in us about victims.

It’s hard for us to believe that another person, especially a beloved celebrity or athlete, would harm someone in that way without provocation. That’s why oftentimes we blame the victim — the way she dresses, how much she had to drink, how late she was out and in which neighborhood.

These aren’t unfamiliar misconceptions are they? Clearly victims are subject to the same misconceptions. Victims are conditioned to think it’s their fault.

I’ve been reminded that sexual assault, a crime that impacts every community, remains a topic we need to be educated and re-educated about.

It’s not a comfortable conversation, but it’s one that deserves out attention.

stood by her.

The policeman told her since it was 86 degrees that day it would have been cooler in the vehicle than outside. That’s a crazy thing to say. He also told her that leaving the puppy in the hot vehicle to suffer wasn’t illegal. All animal abuse and cruelty is illegal.

When I was in Fareway last week, a policeman was in the front of the store. I was told someone called the police because a dog was screaming in a vehicle outside. The dog owner

came to the front of the store laughing and saying the dog always gets upset like that when left alone in a vehicle. I would ask the woman why she would have her dog alone in a vehicle if he gets upset to that degree? It was getting dark and had cooled off a little so I don’t think anything was done about this.

I’ve bought two of those devices that break vehicle windows. If I have to use them to save a child or an animal, so be it. I’ve heard the dog owners press charges but never show up in court.

How many wars can we fight?

Our presidential candidates demand “stronger a c t i o n” against both illegal immigration and illegal drugs.

B u t those g o a l s By John Stossel conflict.

The War on Drugs makes border enforcement much harder!

America’s 44-year-long Drug War hasn’t made a dent in American drug use or the supply of illegal drugs. If it had some positive effect, prices of drugs would have increased, but they haven’t. American authorities say drugs are more available than ever.

Drug prohibition, like alcohol prohibition, creates fat profits that invite law-breaking.

Cato’s Ted Galen Carpenter says, “Economists estimate that about 90 percent of the retail price of illicit drugs is due to this black market premium.” Ninety-percent profits inspire lots of criminal risk-taking.

“Washington’s policy empowers the most ruthless traffickers — those willing to use violence, intimidation and exploitation of the vulnerable to gain market share.” Continues Carpenter: “When drugs are outlawed, only outlaws will sell drugs.”

Since the drug gangs can’t settle disputes in court, they settle them with guns. In Latin America, they’ve killed thousands of people.

“Honduras has been living in an emergency,” says Honduran President Juan Hernandez. “The root cause is that the United States and Colombia carried out big operations in the fight against drugs.”

Mexico’s former president, Vicente Fox, now supports legalization.

Leaders of Guatemala, Colombia, Costa Rica and Bolivia have begun to object to the militaristic anti-drug tactics pushed by the United States.

Yet Hillary Clinton called taxpayer money spent on counter-narcotics

efforts in Central America “money well spent.”

She’s closed-minded and wrong. Our Drug War creates the carnage that drives poor Latin Americans to abandon their villages and move north.

That increases resentment against immigrants, as expressed by Donald Trump, who said, “They’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime.” Some do bring drugs, but most wouldn’t bring crime if they could legally do business with us.

Our crazy, failed policy turns our neighbors to the south into a deadly menace.

“Coyotes,” who help impoverished refugees escape, often require even the children to become drug mules — to smuggle small amounts of drugs.

The children obey, since many fled places where they’d be shot at or tortured by gangs. They know the drug gangs and coyotes are their only hope for reaching a better life.

Drug profits give smugglers the money to do what poverty-stricken immigrants can’t: dig long, hightech tunnels with lighting and ventilation systems. A border fence doesn’t secure the border when immigrants — and criminals — can tunnel underneath it.

U.S. Attorney Laura Duffy recently bragged to reporters about “the fifth super-tunnel we’ve intercepted.”

Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agent Derek Benner claimed that the interception dealt “a stunning blow to the Mexican cartel who built it.”

But that’s absurd.

Benner admitted they’d done the same thing two years before “in virtually the same scenario.” They found five of how many?

Hundreds? With a border almost 2,000 miles long, they’re unlikely to find them all.

Drug prohibition, by making drug cartels rich, enables them to build a literal underground railroad to the north. The whole process — dig, build, raid, destroy, repeat — is just one more pointless activity that happens when government tries to suppress popular activities such as drug use.

Couple’s adoption of foster child causes family rift

DEAR ABBY: My husband, “Jeff,” and I are fostering a 17-year-old girl we plan to adopt. Jeff ’s mother grew up in foster care, and after learning about her life and hardship, I felt we should help out in this way.

I am a stay-at-home mother with three other children (6, 8 and 14), and we are a very tight-knit family, spending most of our time together. We love our foster daughter and look forward to many good times together.

The problem is my sister. She’s very opinionated and has made it obvious that she is against our adopting another child. She feels the decision should have been made by our entire family, including her and my parents. My husband and I disagree, as do our kids.

My relationship with my sister has been strained for most of our lives, so her behavior does not come as a surprise. We would love to hear your opinion about what she said. — JUST LOOKING TO GIVE BACK DEAR JUST LOOKING: Since you asked, I think your sister must be living in some kind of alternate reality. If you and your husband want to enlarge your family, it’s nobody else’s business, and for her to say something like what she did is the height of gall.

DEAR ABBY: After a 12-year struggle with depression, my father committed suicide in 2011. My three sons (ages 11, 7 and 6) occasionally ask how their grandfather died. I usually tell them a generic, “Poppa just got sick.” I am not ashamed of my father or what he did, and I want to tell my sons the whole truth sooner rather than later. What is the appropriate age to tell my children their grandfather took his own life? Any recommendations on how to phrase it? — NO SECRETS IN MINNESOTA DEAR NO SECRETS: When to tell them will depend upon the level of maturity of each of your sons. Depression is an illness (as you know) that can

run in families, so they definitely have to be told, but because of the difference in their ages, it shouldn’t be a blanket announcement.

A way to start the conversation would be to say something like: “I have told you your grandfather died because he got sick. But what I didn’t tell you, because you were so young, is that the illness he suffered from was clinical depression, which he had tried to fight for 12 years. When it finally became too much for him, he took his own life.

“If you go online and research clinical depression — as I know you probably will — you will see what the symptoms are and that there are treatments for it. Many times those treatments are successful. But sadly, in the case of Poppa, they weren’t.”

At that point let them ask you any questions they have, and assure them that you will discuss any concerns they may have — and anything else — any time they wish.

DEAR ABBY: Can you tell me how to select a good marriage counselor? Asking a friend for a referral is not an option. — DAN IN FLORIDA DEAR DAN: If you have a physician you like and trust, you could ask that person for a referral. Or, if you prefer, contact licensed marriage counselors in your area. Then interview some of them to see which one you feel comfortable confiding in.

Teen charged, banned from city buses after assault DAVENPORT— A 15-year-old boy has been charged with assault and banned from riding Davenport city buses after police say he punched a female driver in the face earlier this week. The teen has been charged as a juvenile with assault causing bodily injury. Police have not released the teen’s name, and The Associated Press generally does not name juveniles charged with crimes. Officials say the teen hit the driver after school Tuesday after the two argued over the city bus fare policy.

Third man charged with robberies linked to slayings DES MOINES — A third man has been charged with robberies in connection with the slayings of two men whose bodies were found earlier this month in Des Moines.

Twenty-year-old Shamair Gainey and 18-year-old Roberto Baez-Alvarez were arrested last week on suspicion of robbery.

Cedar Rapids mayor launching think tank for Iowa CEDAR RAPIDS — The mayor of Cedar Rapids is launching a conservative think tank that he says first will focus on education, the economy and the environment. Mayor Ron Corbett said people want substantive discussions of issues and says Iowa does “have some challenges and some problems.” He says the think tank, Engage Iowa, is a nonpartisan, nonprofit, with a tax status that prevents it from lobbying. Corbett says the Iowa Policy Project is probably the only comparable organization in the state.

Property tax cut has big price tag for state of Iowa DES MOINES (AP) — A substantial property tax cut approved in Iowa two years ago has become a major expense for the state budget and views differ on whether it was a good investment.

The business-focused tax cut, a bipartisan deal, is costing the state budget about $260 million in the current fiscal year, both in tax credits and dollars to help replace lost local tax revenues, according to state data. When he signed it into law, Gov.

Terry Branstad hailed the effort as a “win-win” that would help families and make it easier for businesses to grow in Iowa.

But the expense was felt during the budget negotiations in the spring, when lawmakers haggled for months over a limited amount of available revenue. Democratic Sen. Joe Bolkcom, of Iowa City, who opposed this effort, said the cost of the tax cut affected Democratic spending goals.

“It’s pretty obvious

that the property tax cut has taken away, at least in the short run, our ability to adequately fund our education priorities,” he said.

Branstad’s budget chief David Roederer called it an important investment. He also noted the state had some reserve dollars, which helps pay for the program, and that they have built

this cost into long term spending projections.

“I think had we not done this, the state would be becoming less and less competitive,” said Roederer, the director of the Department of Management.

Lawmakers in the Democratic-controlled Senate and Republican-majority House approved the tax cut in

Larry & Diana Ambroson Cranberry Juice May Lower Blood Pressure Drinking low-calorie cranberry juice may modestly reduce blood pressure. Participants in a recent study were given either 8 ounces of lowcalorie cranberry juice twice a day or a placebo drink. After 2 months, the cranberry juice group showed a 3-point drop in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Cranberries, like most berries, are rich in flavonoids, which may help relax blood vessels and improve blood flow. It’s important to note the use of low-calorie juice since regular cranberry juice may have high levels of added sugar, which could negate the beneficial effect.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News To the house — Newton High senior Joseph Banfield (23) races past Benton defenders and the kicking tee to return in the opening kickoff 86 yards for a touchdown in Friday’s Class 3A District 6 game at Van Horne. The teams played in rain and against a strong north wind the whole night with Benton notching a 26-20 win over Newton.

Cardinals still looking for first victory

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News VAN HORNE — Work is the solution. Working in practices and games to make the younger players better is what it is going to take to reverse the fortunes of Newton High’s football in 2015.

“We have younger players, who will be good football players, but they’ve been thrown into situations we hadn’t planned for them. Because of injuries, we don’t have personnel options at the running back positions,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said in reflection of his team’s 26-20 loss Friday night against Benton.

The loss put the Cardinals in an 0-2 hole in Class 3A

District 6. They are 0-4 on the season.

“It’s about consistency and confidence. We haven’t been able to build on momentum during a game. We make mental mistakes which put us in tough situations,” Ergenbright said.

The Cardinals began and ended Friday’s game scoring a touchdown. Unfortunately, Benton’s Bobcats scored six more points to claim a 26-20 win.

The Cardinals and Bobcats had to take on miserable playing conditions — driving rain and a strong north wind — from beginning to end.

It didn’t effect Newton senior running back Joseph Banfield on the opening kickoff. Banfield fielded the football, followed his blockers and broke into the open to race

past the Bobcats for the 86yard return for a touchdown.

Josh Gulling kicked the extra point.

Newton was up 7-0. It was the only time the Cardinals led in the contest. The lead held up for three minutes, which was all Benton junior quarterback Riley Pfiffner needed to march the Bobcats to a tying score — a 30-yard touchdown run by Pfiffner.

There was a strange ending to the game.

Time expired with Benton at the Newton 4-yard line, the teams shook hands, players and fans began leaving the stadium, but wait ... Apparently, the Benton head coach convinced the officials he called a timeout before time expired, and the teams were

called back onto the field for one final play.

With 3 seconds on the clock, Benton attempted a field goal to get to a 13-plus point winning margin. The snap was muffed by the Bobcats, and Newton’s Dalton Nevels scooped up the football and raced 85 yards for a touchdown. There was no PAT attempt, leaving the final score at 26-20.

“That play should never have happened. We tackled their guy and time ran out.

The head official held the ball up in the air, signaling the end of the game. The teams shake hands, and Benton’s players were already going into their locker room when the head official came to me and said they were granting Benton

the timeout, and we had to go back on the field,” Ergenbright said. “It’s the strangest end of a game I’ve seen.”

Newton’s first offensive drive of the game moved into Benton territory but stalled at the 44. Punting into the teeth of a strong north wind and rain, Garrett Sturtz’s first punt only went four yards.

Benton used a nine-play drive capped by a 19-yard touchdown run right up the middle by Hunter Semelroth with 38.5 seconds left in the first quarter.

The Cardinals had a big 17-yard run by Nevels to open the second quarter. They couldn’t move past the 50yard line and punted again.

PCM needed just one play to get back on the board. And Gilman found Luke Greiner from 25 yards out.

That was Gilman’s lone touchdown pass, and he completed six of his

nine passes for 88 yards.

“Truth be told, we surprised Gilman (Thursday) and dumped a bucket of water on him because we figured it was going to rain a lot Friday,” Bonnett said.

“We had a cooler full

Davis County did not seem to have control of the wet footballs.

Tigerhawks continue to roll, rally past Belle Plaine

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BELLE PLAINE — The Colfax-Mingo football team rallied from a 16-14 halftime deficit and picked up a big Class A District 7 win on the road Friday.

Jared Myers passed for 160 yards, ran for 110 more and scored five total touchdowns in Colfax-Mingo’s 38-28 triumph over Belle Plaine.

A Jared Myers 4-yard touchdown run and a twopoint conversion pass from Myers to Jacob Lietz gave the Tigerhawks their first lead in the third quarter, and the Tigerhawks took the lead for good when Myers rumbled nine yards for the score.

Colfax-Mingo’s lone touchdown in the fourth was a 15-

Lietz

yard pass from Myers to Blake Summy.

Myers scored the Tigerhawks’ two first-half touchdowns, too.

He answered Belle Plaine’s first score with a 38-yard fumble return touchdown and then countered another Belle Plaine touchdown with a 10-yard touchdown run. That made it 16-14 at halftime.

C-M netters lose four at Guthrie Center tournament

Continued from Page 1B The host Mustangs like to run the ball but never got their footing in the first half.

Their third possession ended after three plays netted zero yards. On fourth down, Davis County snapped the ball over the punter’s head, and he was tackled at the 3.

Littrell made easy work of that drive, scoring on the first play to make it 21-0.

After Davis County went four yards in three plays and punted, Gilman converted a third down on PCM’s next possession when he hooked up with Greiner for 21 yards.

Clay Cooper, playing in his first game of the season, then gained eight yards on a run and Littrell set up his third touchdown with a 17-yard gain.

Littrell made it 21-0 one play later as he dove in from the 1-yard line.

“We have been working on running the ball a lot lately, and it has been working out. So I think we are going to stick to it,” Littrell said. “The offensive line did a really good job opening up holes for me.”

Another three-and-out for Davis County (0-4, 0-2) gave the ball right back to PCM. The Mustangs traveled 44 yards in nine plays. PCM converted a fourth down when Davis County jumped offsides and then Gilman found Noah Clark for 13 yards and another first down.

The drive stalled shy of the goal line three plays later, but PCM still found the end zone when Sheldon Speers took the snap on a field goal attempt and found Greiner for an 8-yard touchdown pass play.

That gave PCM a 34-0 lead at halftime and Chase Wilkie’s 29-yard field goal with 8:45 to play in the third quarter was the only points of the second half.

“The defense gave a great effort,” Bonnett said. “We were flying around and weren’t giving up much so that was nice to see.”

The visiting Mustangs had a little fun late in the fourth quarter when they sent out Wilkie to try a 59-yard field goal on the last play of the game.

The kick, which would have been four yards shy of an NFL record, was short but Bonnett said the team got the result they wanted.

“We had (Wilkie) right in the middle

for loss and a touchdown off a fumble recovery.

Defensive end Alan Wheeler finished with 10 1/2 tackles, while nose tackle Jimmy Camp recovered two fumbles.

Colfax-Mingo and Class A No. 2 BGM are the only two remaining District 7 teams without a loss in district play.

Class A No. 7 Montezuma lost for the first time when it was upset by Lynnville-Sully on Friday.

The Tigerhawks (3-1, 2-0) travel to North Mahaska this Friday.

North Mahaska (1-3) is 0-2 in district play and has been outscored 109-13 in losses to BGM and Belle Plaine.

of the muddy part of the field. He is always begging to kick those long ones so we figured it was a school record try so why not,” Bonnett said. “It was mainly to see him fall, and he did. The guys had some fun with that one.”

It was definitely a fun night for PCM. The Mustangs have won three straight games by a score of 127-26.

It gets much tougher this week when PCM hosts Class 2A No. 9 Collins-Maxwell/Baxter (4-0).

Greiner finished the win against Davis County with three catches for 55 yards and two scores.

Davis Herndon led the defense with five solo tackles, six assisted tackles, two tackles for loss and a fumble recovery.

Freshman Brycen Rogers snagged an interception late in the fourth quarter.

Cardinal freshmen notch win over Benton in the rain

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News VAN HORNE — Torrential rain did not deter Newton High’s freshmen Friday night. The Cardinals chalked up a 24-6 win over Benton’s Bobcats.

Newton was up 6-0 at halftime on a 63-yard touchdown run by Josh Miller. In the third quarter, Thomas Cox returned a Bobcat fumble 43 yards for a touchdown to put the Cardinals up 12-0.

In the fourth quarter, Miller got loose for a 28-yard touchdown run, following another Benton fumble.

Coltin Whitten dashed 54 yards to the end zone.

Benton scored late in the game.

“The boys were hungry to finish a football game,” Newton freshman head coach Trent Powers said.

“We stayed mentally tough in extreme weather conditions. We bat-

tled, forced turnovers and rushed for over 300 yards. It was a great all around team victory.”

Cox finished with 90 yards on 13 carries for Newton while Miler had 92 yards on four carries.

Whitten rushed for 56 yards on four carries, and Norbert Riyazimana had 29 yards on two carries.

Luke Maharry rushed for 30 yards on one carry, and Mason Lee had 26 yards on four hauls.

Cox had four tackles and two fumble recoveries for the Cardinal defense. Jacob Murphy and Whitten each had four tackles and a fumble recovery. Miller racked up five tackles, and Austin Romberg had one tackle and a fumble recovery.

Newton (2-2) hosts Gilbert at 4:45 p.m. Friday at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

NHS freshman volleyball play

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Newton High’s freshmen split two-set matches against host Des Moines East’s two freshman volleyball teams Saturday. They lost three matches in the East freshman tournament.

“The girls had a lot of positive events in the tournament,” Newton freshman head coach Michaela Wood said. “We had a hard battle in the first set with Johnston before coming up short along with Dowling Catholic and ADM.” Against East B, Newton lost the first set, 21-19, and won the second set, 21-12. Jazmin Chance, Brittney McConnell and Mariah Wickliffe each had three service aces for the Cardinals.

Tegan Simmons and Sierra Anderson had two aces and Hannah Edwards served one ace. Simmons led the net game with three kills followed by McConnell, Ariel Lum and Desirae Shelton with two kills each.

In the match with East A, Newton won the first set, 21-18, and lost the second set, 21-18. Simmons had two kills and two ace serves while McConnell served up three aces and had one kill. Lum downed three kills. Chance and Anderson each had an ace serve.

“We had lots of attempts at the net to attack, but didn’t capitalize on certain situations,” Wood said. “We will have to get some rest and bounce back Monday as we travel to Saydel for a tournament.”

ADM defeated Newton 21-14, 213. Simmons was 4-of-5 serving with one ace and had a kill. McConnell had one ace and Lum had one kill.

Dowling beat the Cardinals 21-15, 21-12. McConnell went 6-of-7 serving with two aces, and downed two kills. Lum had two kills and Anderson served an ace.

Citizen Koehn: Iowa stuns Pittsburgh with 57-yard FG IOWA CITY (AP) — The debate over whether icing a kicker actually works has been raging in college football for decades.

Pittsburgh coach Pat Narduzzi gave detractors of the practice more ammunition — while Iowa’s Marshall Koehn gave the Hawkeyes one of their most thrilling wins in years.

Koehn kicked a 57-yard field goal as time expired to push Iowa past Pittsburgh 27-24 Saturday, giving the Hawkeyes their first 3-0 start in six years.

“Obviously we would have liked to get it a little closer,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said.

“As it turned out, it didn’t matter. What an unbelievable kick by Marshall. Just tremendous composure.”

C.J. Beathard had 258 yards passing for Iowa, which drove 31 yards in less than a minute to set up Koehn’s win-

Troy Hyde/Daily News Iowa tailback Jordan Canzeri (33) scored a touchdown for the Hawkeyes against Pittsburgh on Saturday at Kinnick Stadium. Iowa prevailed 27-24 following Marshall Koehn’s 57-yard field goal.

ning kick.

Tyler Boyd’s 8-yard touchdown catch with 52 seconds tied the game at 24-all for Pitt (2-1).

Narduzzi called timeout to ice Koehn, who got off a kick that was well short anyway.

Pitt then put a returner in the back of the end zone for

Koehn’s next effort.

But Koehn’s second try was so strong that it appeared to have room to spare.

Koehn is now 4-for-4 on field goals this season.

“I kicked myself in the butt at the end,” Narduzzi said.

“That’s what everybody does.

You’ve got a timeout on the

Cyclones fall to Toledo in double overtime TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — When defensive end Tre James finally corralled a scrambling Sam Richardson and pulled the Iowa State quarterback to the ground, sealing Toledo’s 30-23 double overtime win, the Rockets’ student section spilled onto the field at the Glass Bowl.

The win didn’t send the same shockwaves through college football as last week’s 16-12 victory over then-No. 18-ranked Arkansas in Little Rock. In fact, the Rockets were the favorite here Saturday night and quarterback Phillip Ely expressed disappointment with the Rockets’ performance overall.

But it did mark the first time in school history that the Mid-American Conference team familiar with wins over big-time programs beat two Power 5 teams in the same season. That, and the excite-

ment of overtime, was enough to thrill the crowd of 23,104.

While the game marked the return of Toledo’s Doak Walker Award candidate Kareem Hunt, it was his backup, Damion Jones-Moore, who scored the game-winning touchdown on a 10-yard sweep on the Rockets’ second overtime possession.

“You can’t think about stuff like playing time. It’s a team sport and we’re all out here working,” Jones-Moore said.

“Whenever you get an opportunity, you have to step up.”

On Iowa State’s final possession, Richardson eluded a handful of Toledo defenders on a last-gasp, fourth-andgoal play on Iowa State’s ensuing possession before James caught him from behind to end the game.

“To our fans and students,

this was their win,” Toledo coach Matt Campbell said.

“This place was electric, and quite honestly that is what is so special about the Glass Bowl.”

Iowa State’s Cole Netten and Toledo’s Jameson Vest exchanged field goals on the teams’ first overtime possession after Netten missed a potential game-winning, 32yard attempt as time expired on regulation.

Hunt, who missed Toledo’s first two games due to a violation of team rules, rushed for 129 yards on 24 carries.

He limped off the field with an undisclosed injury on the Rockets’ second-to-last offensive play, setting up JonesMoore’s game-winner.

The Cyclones, who were averaging only 70 yards rushing in their first two games — worst among all Power 5 schools — gained 207 yards against the Rockets. Mike Warren led the team with 126 yards on 21 carries.

Big Ten’s Buckeyes, Spartans top AP rankings

By Ralph R. Russo The Associated Press Ohio State is No. 1 and Michigan State is No. 2 in The Associated Press college football poll, giving the Big Ten the top two teams in the rankings for the first time since 2006.

The Buckeyes received 40 first-place votes after a lackluster victory against Northern Illinois on Saturday.

Michigan State has seven first-place votes.

The last time the Big Ten held the top two spots in the AP poll was November 2006

when Ohio State and Michigan went into their annual rivalry game Nos. 1 and 2, respectively.

No. 3 Mississippi made a big jump from 15 after winning at Alabama. The Tide dropped from No. 2 to No. 12.

The Rebels received 11 firstplace votes.

TCU is tied for third with Ole Miss and Baylor is No. 5.

Notre Dame is sixth, followed by LSU, Georgia, UCLA and Florida State. The Tigers receive one first-place vote.

UP Northwestern moved up six

spots to No. 17 after beating Duke on the road.

DOWN No. 19 Southern California dropped 13 spots after losing at home to the Cardinal.

IN Stanford is back in the rankings at No. 21. The Cardinal win was part of a 6-0 Saturday for the Pac-12 North.

OUT Auburn, which started the season ranked No. 6, is out of the rankings after losing to LSU. The Tigers probably qualify as the most disappointing team of September.

board, you’re going to use it and try and freeze him a little bit. Obviously he’s got ice in his veins I guess.”

Nate Peterman had 219 yards passing and two touchdowns for Pitt, and Boyd had 10 catches for 131 yards.

Iowa controlled the first half, going ahead 17-7.

But midway through the third quarter, Pitt got the play it needed from Ryan Lewis and Pat Amara.

Lewis blocked Dillon Kidd’s punt attempt and Amara did the rest, running it back 28 yards to pull the Panthers even at 17-all.

For the second straight week, the Hawkeyes had a fourth-quarter rally in them.

Iowa answered with a key defensive stop, aided when the Panthers chose to punt from the Iowa 42 on 4th down and inches. The Hawkeyes then went 80 yards to retake a 2417 lead with 6:04 left.

Peterman responded for his new team. He converted a fourth and 15 with 1:28 left on a 19-yard pass to J.P. Holtz before Boyd’s touchdown catch.

Iowa is off to its first 3-0 start since they went 11-2 and won the Orange Bowl following the 2009 season.

Hawks upset No. 7 Braves in district play

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Rain and wind pushed football teams to rely on their running games Friday night.

Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks were coming off a disappointing outing and loss a week ago at Colfax and facing Class A’s seventh-ranked Montezuma Braves in Class A District 7 play Friday. They proved to be better in the mud than the visiting Braves.

With a 37-yard field goal

by Noah Engle at the 1:36 mark of the third quarter, the Hawks broke a 7-all tie and would go on to upend the Braves, 10-7.

“This was a huge win for our guys. Our players just willed this win tonight,” Lynnville-Sully head coach Mike Parkinson said. “It was a sloppy, muddy field, and our guys managed the weather very well. We took care of the football. Those two things were big. Our center Isaac Collins did a great job snapping the ball in the game.”

Parkinson said the Hawks had a nice drive early in the game but didn’t score. Montezuma scored first on a 10yard touchdown run by Ryan Maschmann with 10 seconds left in the first quarter. Brody McKeag kicked the extra point.

Lynnville-Sully answered in the second period. Kobe Fisk tallied a 1-yard touchdown run with 3:54 left in the quarter. Engle tied it with the extra-point kick.

“We controlled things against a very good Montezuma team. Our defense played

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B “It was not a passing game for either team because of the weather,” Ergenbright said.

“Even with the wind, you couldn’t pass it.”

Sturtz was 4-of-7 passing for Newton for 26 yards but three were shovel passes to running backs. Sturtz connected with Banfield for 19 yards late in the game. Pfiffner was 1-of-8 for two yards.

Newton’s defense stiffened in the second and third quarters. The Cardinals forced the Bobcats into a punting situation with 3:42 left in the first half. Duncan Lee and Nevels put pressure on Bobcat punter Tucker Schroeder, who was trying to handle a low snap.

Nevels recovered the ball for Newton at the Benton 34.

Sturtz opened the drive with a 17-yard run up the middle. Banfield had two runs for five yards, then Sturtz

lights out. We held Montezuma to less than a 100 yards rushing. That’s big,” Parkinson said.

It was a defensive play that gave Engle the opportunity for the go-ahead field goal.

Montezuma had a bad snap on a punt and Lynnville-Sully tackled the punter. Three plays later, Engle booted the 37-yarder through the uprights.

The Hawks put the ball in the hands of senior running back Sage Ehresman, who

rushed for 140 yards on 30 carries on the muddy field.

Carson Losure had 49 yards on 16 carries and caught three passes for 50 yards.

Tyler Van Zante was 2-of4 passing for Lynnville-Sully for eight yards. Both passes were caught by Caden Dunsbergen. Evan Squires gained 30 yards on nine carries.

The Hawk defense had four takeaways — two fumble recoveries and two interceptions. Fisk recovered a fumble

and made an interception late in the game to stop a Brave drive. Jack Hardin, a defensive lineman, had an interception in the first half. Trevor Squires recovered a fumble.

Dylan Roozeboom led the Hawk defense with 10 tackles. Nose guard Kyle Van Dyke had six tackles and Corey McCoy had five tackles.

Roozeboom and Ehresman each had a quarterback sack.

Parkinson pointed to the play of the Hawks’ defensive line, which include Van Dyke,

Jack Hardin, Jayson Hardin, Trevor Squires, McCoy and Evan Squires, as key to the victory.

Lynnville-Sully (2-2, 1-1 district) hosts Iowa Valley on Friday.

made a shovel pass to Jordan Norvell for four yards. Sturtz ran for six yards on a fourthand-one play to get the ball to the Benton 2-yard line.

Banfield bulled his way over the goal line from one yard out. Gulling’s kick tied the game at 14-all with 56.4 seconds before halftime.

Semelroth returned the ensuing kickoff to the Newton 33. The Cardinals made a goal-line stand keeping the Bobcats out of the end zone.

Gulling sacked Pfiffner on the final play of the half to end the scoring threat.

“We felt pretty good about where we were at halftime. We had some momentum with the touchdown and defensive stand,” Ergenbright said. “We wanted to contain Pfiffner in the third quarter and we did that.”

There was no scoring in the third quarter. Newton had the football as time wound down in the third period and faced a fourth-and-one.

“That play was on me.

It was so wet that I couldn’t read my play sheets, which are laminated. Everything was soaked. We had to run a play before the end of the quarter, and we were going to for it on fourth-and-one. I just didn’t get the play called in time, and we took a delay of game penalty. We had to punt,” Ergenbright said.

It turned out to be a pivotal time in the game. Sturtz had to punt into the wind again, and it was another short one.

Benton had the ball at the Newton 47-yard line to start the fourth period.

Newton had bottled up Pfiffner throughout the second and third quarters. The Bobcat quarterback, who finished with 260 yards rushing on 37 carries, popped loose on the first play of the final quarter for a 47yard touchdown run.

The Cardinals’ Bryce Tish came through and blocked the extra-point attempt following a five-yard penalty against Benton. It was 20-14

with 11:48 left in the game.

Sturtz fumbled the football on the first play from scrimmage at the Newton 36 on the next possession. Five runs

by Pfiffner put the Bobcats into the end zone — a 1-yard plunge by Pfiffner — but a two-point conversion play was denied by the Cardinals.

Newton mounted a march down the field with seven minutes remaining. Banfield picked up six yards on a key fourth-down-play at midfield.

Sturtz found Banfield for a 19-yard pass play to the Benton 29. Three plays later, Benton’s Brady Kraus intercepted a Sturtz pass, and returned it to the Newton 31.

Then came the strange ending to the game.

“The key in the game was I felt we were dominated up front by their offensive and defensive linemen. We have the young backs who don’t know how to block well so we can’t run the rocket sweeps effectively,” Ergenbright said. “As

players, our kids need to develop the confidence to seize momentum when we have it and build on it.”

Newton had 115 yards rushing led by Banfield’s 39 yards on 17 carries. Sturtz had 36 yards on six carries. The Cardinals had 141 yards of total offense compared to Benton’s 387 yards of offense.

Sophomore defensive end Ryan Constant racked up six solo tackles and one assisted tackle while Tish had six solo stops and two assisted tackles for the Newton defense. Lee had four solo tackles and six assisted tackles. Austin James and Brady Smith each had four unassisted tackles and five assisted tackles apiece.

Nevels had two fumble recoveries and Gulling had the lone quarterback sack of the game.

Newton hosts Gilbert in district play at 7:30 p.m. Friday at H.A. Lynn Stadium. It is the Cardinals’ Homecoming game.
