By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A Newton man is in jail after police say he broke into a woman’s home, allegedly stole property and contacted the woman more than 1,000 times in violation of a no-contact order.

Fitzgerald Thomas A. Fitzgerald, 53, is being held without bond at Jasper County Jail on charges of third-degree burglary, harassment, stalking and contempt for violating a protective order. According to a Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office report, Fitzgerald broke a window of her home in rural Newton, allegedly stealing a computer tower.

Fitzgerald also tried to pry open locked doors. He was arrested Wednesday night.

The victim told police she received a combined total of more than 1,000 text messages or phone calls from Fitzgerald, despite a no-contact order being in place. In the texts and voice messages, Fitzgerald demands access to her home and threatens to kill the victim, her boyfriend, her attorney and law enforcement.

Fitzgerald had previously been arrested and charged for violating the no-contact order with the victim in the past.

Sams Cemetery honors Civil War veterans, children

By Alex Olp Newton Daily News MINGO — During a two-hour long ceremony at Sams Cemetery on Saturday, wind chimes provided a constant sound for visitors who gathered to honor Iowa’s newest pioneer cemetery.

Sams became a pioneer cemetery in February by having 12 or fewer burials in the last 50 years. Saturday’s ceremony celebrated that distinguished classification and the 10 Civil War veterans who are buried there.

More than 150 people gathered to tribute the service of those 10 veterans by keeping their names alive in conversation. But also a highlight of the afternoon was the recognition of the 62 children who are also buried there.

Handmade wind chimes were placed at every child’s grave inside Sams Cemetery to tribute the children, half of whom were under the age of 10 when they died.

The purpose is behind the legend that when you hang a wind chime in a cemetery you can hear the voices of

Minnesota juvenile wrecks stolen vehicle

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News A motorist assist from Iowa State Patrol on Friday in Newton led to a short chase and rollover crash involving two juveniles on Highway 14 near Interstate 80.

Jasper County Sheriff John Halferty said the state trooper pulled up behind a stopped vehicle with a Minnesota license plate about 10:30 a.m. and a Jasper County deputy pulled up to assist. There were two teenagers, a male and female, in the vehicle.

After the boy was asked to come back to the patrol car to answer questions, the girl climbed into the driver’s seat and sped away in the vehicle south on Highway 14. However, she made it less than one mile before veering to the left and rolling the vehicle in a ditch about half of a mile south of Interstate 80.

COLFAX — Late night rainfall caused some disruption during the Rock the Quarry concert at Quarry Springs Park in Colfax Saturday night, but organizers are happy with the turnout as it ended up being a successful fundraising event.

The 8 p.m. concert was slated to be an outdoor venue on the island of the 480-acre park, but about one hour before show time with lightning brightening the sky in the distance, organizers and volunteers began racing time to transfer everything to a nearby barn on the property due to rain sneaking up in the forecast.

Police Lives Matter

One last week for Knabel City administrator retiring after more than 40 years of work

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News

Alex Olp/Daily News Newton Police Chief Rob Burdess speaks with visitors at Fore Seasons Golf Practice Center during a “Police Lives Matter” themed event organized by owners Dawn and DAvid Peters. The event took place from noon to 8 p.m. Saturday and had a purpose to raise awareness about the need to support police officers and raise funds for Jasper County Crime Stoppers.

Newton City Administrator Bob Knabel has been helping lead cities for most of his life.

Next Monday, he will “punch out” for the final time, retiring after more than 40 years work. Knabel came to Newton about four and a half years ago, primed to help lead a change. In his time here, he has helped start many programs and initiatives that are visible throughout the city.

“I had a real sense from the council they were interested in change and moving the community forward,” Knabel said. “We had got to a point where we needed to face forward

Iowa’s unemployment rate trends up to 4.2 percent in August Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Iowa’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased slightly to 4.2 percent in August from 4.1 percent in July.

The state’s jobless rate was 3.6

percent one year ago. The U.S. unemployment rate remained at 4.9 percent in August.

“While the unemployment rate ticked up again in August, there were a few bright spots,” Iowa Workforce Development Director Beth Townsend said.

“The total number of working Iowans also increased by 1,700 from July and 3,600 higher than a year ago. Additionally, for the third consecutive month, Iowa businesses expanded their payrolls and added 4,900 jobs, raising the

total number of working Iowans. Iowa’s unemployment rate also remains 0.7 percent lower than the national rate.”

The number of unemployed Iowans rose to 72,700 in August from 70,700 in July.

The current estimate is 11,500

higher than the year ago level of 61,200.

The total number of working Iowans increased to 1,642,300 in August. This figure was 1,700 higher than July and 3,600 higher than one year ago.

Clements ready to serve Newton in new law office

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Bondurant native and current Colfax resident Dusty Clements is branching out by opening her own law firm at Clements Law & Mediation in Newton. Clements purchased the building at 209 N. Second Ave. W. and is working to build her clientele in several areas of the law.

“I am very interested in family law and juvenile law — those are my two areas,” Clements said.

“There are just not a whole lot of individuals doing that around here. I am also certified in mediation so I am hoping to build a successful mediation practice here.”

Along with family and juvenile law and mediation, Clements also provides services in criminal defense, real estate and estate planning and probate. She is a member of the Iowa State Bar Association, Central Iowa Academy of Collaborative Professionals, Certified Family Law Mediator and is Certified in Collaborative Law. Clements moved with her husband and four children to Colfax

in 2006. After operating a successful daycare for seven years, she decided to further her education in the area of law.

In 2012, Clements graduated with a degree in Criminal Justice and Public Administration from Upper Iowa University. The next year, she received her master’s degree in forensic psychology from the University of North Dakota.

After receiving her master’s, Clements enrolled at Drake University’s Law School, graduating with Honors in 2016.

“During my three years at Drake, I interned for the General Counsel at ChildServe and interned at the Iowa House of Representatives,” Clements said.

“I also served as a Guardian Ad Litem for children through the Middleton Center for Children’s Rights.”

Clements first came to Newton when she started clerking for a district associate judge at the Jasper County Courthouse. About a year before she completed her doctorate, Clements decided she wanted to open her own practice in Newton.

“I liked it here. Then it worked out that we bought the building

and renting out the space on the other side,” Clements said.

“The location for the building is perfect. It is just right around the corner from the courthouse, which is ideal. I really like Newton.”

The building has been a project on its own, Clements said.

She and her husband have completely remodeled the first level and are currently working on two apartments located upstairs.

“This building was a wreck when we got it,” Clements said.

“We’re hoping to clean up the apartments upstairs and rent them in a couple months.”

While progress has moved quickly, Clements said everybody in Newton has been very accommodating during the move and remodel.

“Everybody has been super welcoming, so that is really nice,” Clements said.

Presidential election series: Why it matters — Jobs WASHINGTON (AP) — Tepid income growth and shrinking opportunities for blue-collar workers have kept many Americans anxious about jobs and the economy, seven years after the Great Recession ended.

The unemployment rate has fallen to a relatively low 4.9 percent. But many Americans are struggling to keep up with an economy that has been fundamentally transformed since the recession, and is very different from the one their parents experienced.

Most jobs with decent pay require more education than in the past. And some of the best-paying, fastest-growing jobs are in newer fields such as data analytics, computer network security, and software development. Such jobs typically require very specific skills.

For most Americans, the most obvious measure of the economy’s health is whether they have a job, and whether their incomes are rising.

By those measures, the verdict is mixed. Hiring, while initially sluggish, has picked up since the recession ended in June 2009. Job gains in 2014 and 2015 were the highest in any two-year period since 1998-99.

Still, wages have been slower to recover. A typical household’s annual income jumped in 2015 by the

most in any year on records dating back to 1967, according to recent Census Bureau data. Yet incomes that year were still 1.6 percent below 2007 levels and 2.4 percent below the 1999 peak. Analysts at Sentier Research estimate that household income finally returned to pre-recession levels in July.

Average hourly pay is slowly rising but the growth rate is below levels that are consistent with a healthy economy.

One factor probably fueling anxiety about jobs and pay has been the disproportionate growth of jobs in lower-paying industries, such as fast-food restaurants, and higher-paying sectors, such as information technology. Middle-income jobs in areas like manufacturing and administrative support barely recovered.

Local & State News Sams Continued from Page 1A Speaker Danny Krock, Department of Iowa Sons of Union Veterans of the Civil War, gave the opening remarks while the Mingo American Legion presented the colors. Afterward was Mike Rowley of the Iowa Military Heritage Society, who then took the stand to speak about the 220 souls who are buried there.

“The first phase (of death) is when the body seizes to function.

The second phase is when the body is inside the grave. And the third and final, hopefully in the very far future, is when their name is spoken for the very last time,” Rowley said. “As we walk around the cemetery perhaps each of us might speak a name of those buried here. Perhaps the next generation will continue to do the same and that third phase of death will never come to anyone at Sams Cemetery.”

Also with funds from the bond, the city started many much needed projects including street repairs, equipment purchases and park improvement. Knabel said that none of that would have been possible without a council that was willing to put itself out

Speaking wasn’t the only function on Saturday as several symbolic actions took place to honor certain gravesites at Sams. One of which was the dedication of civil war veteran Adam Robison, who laid in an unmarked grave since 1922 until it was eventual corrected this past summer. The 49th Iowa Infantry revealed Robison’s headstone at Sams Cemetery on Saturday.

Before the closing remarks, organizers Janine Johnson and Robert Gannon thanked all visitors for joining in on the celebration, and then the pair received a surprise plaque from Sen. Black as a gift of appreciation.

“I just want to thank my new and my old friends here who are supporting Sams Pioneer Cemetery,” Johnson said. “Bringing Sams Pioneer Cemetery from a neglected cemetery to a dignified honorable cemetery has been a journey to say the very least.”

“I’ve done this 40 years, and I’ve attended a lot of council meeting and worked with a lot of councils. I can tell you this city councils and the councils I have worked with here are unlike 90 percent of the other councils I have worked with,” Knabel said. “They are wanting to make a difference and many council don’t take that approach. In 2011, that election really changed the dynamics of the city council.

They are an exception.”

Along with work accomplished through bonding, Knabel is proud of the city’s work with the Get to Know Newton campaign. Starting as a small project to put up new entry signs into the city, the campaign has blossomed into a successful marketing campaign for Newton’s future.

“That is important because

To let people know that we have something to offer here, that we are not a black hole and I think we have a made a good start not only locally but in central Iowa,” Knabel said. “That is another example of the city council taking another step forward.

You do not find a lot of communities our size committed to that kind of education and communication. It is a really important effort that has been taken on and staff should be proud with how that has grown.”

Knabel notes the D&D program as a favorite program he started, worked on and made visible progress on.

While some people who retire end up right back in the workplace, Knabel said his new office will be in the outdoors working on landscaping and gardening. He is also moving closer to family to help out and enjoy more time with grandkids.

the barn right off the bat and even inspired a couple to show off their dance moves during the very first song.

The concert ended at approximately 11 p.m., but not before everyone in attendance was thanked for coming and donating to the outdoor recreational park.

Exact fundraising totals were not determined before presstime, but Seeback estimated roughly $2,000 to $3,000 was raised. More than 300 ticket sales and certain concession stand sales were the main sources of income as well as vital contributions from local sponsors.

“We had great sponsorship. With that we pretty much underwrit-

ten our costs, so that helps because we just have more profits in terms of ticket sales and other sales,” Seebeck said.

Rock the Quarry is just the beginning of a campaign as the Colfax Parks Auxiliary Board has a goal to raise $50,000 for equipment needs, water and electric access beyond the park offices, possible installations of restrooms and an official boat ramp, and to modify an existing building to host future events.

Multi media L

ike many people, my news consumption begins as soon as I crack my eyes open in the morning.

When I grab my iPhone I almost always have alerts from The Associated Press and CNN apps. I admittedly hit snooze for exactly 9 more minutes of sleep before I think about reading them. As we head into the final stretch of general election campaigns I’ve been thinking about all the different ways I get news and how it’s helpful.

Newspaper No surprise here, right? I read a lot of newspapers, both print and online. It’s my favorite medium not only because I have ink in my veins, but because I find them trustworthy and original.

These papers have trusted teams of reporters tracking down news that matters to their communities. The stories I find here are the stories that will later be broadcast on TV and radio or cited in other online works. I just wrote a column about the importance of newspapers, so I will digress.

Start the Press Abigail Pelzer Radio I listen to some radio but not as much as I used to as a commuter. Locally, I enjoy the The Morning Jolt with Jamie & Sarah because the brain-buster trivia is fun to listen to on the way to drop the kid off at school. And if you win, you get free food.

I’ve always been a strong supporter of Iowa Public Radio, and its national counterpart, NPR. If I had to choose a second favorite medium for news it would be programs like “Talk of Iowa” and “River to River” on IPR and “Fresh Air” on NPR. I recently “nerded out” talking with friends about radio, solidifying my love for these shows, and my friends. Speaking of love, Fresh Air host Terry Gross was awarded the National Humanities Medal last week by the POTUS himself. Gross was selected “for her artful probing of the human experience.” Awesome.

Podcast People have been listening to podcasts (audio that can be streamed via smartphone, computer) for years, but I am of the variety that got hooked with the insanely popular “Serial” podcast.

Since then I’ve found other podcast I can’t really live without like “This American Life.”

While I can’t stand much of the TV analysis of the presidential election, I am absolutely immersed in The New York Times-produced podcast “The Run-Up.” It’s description reads: The podcast that makes sense of the most delirious stretch of the 2016 campaign.

That it does. Another political podcast that’s great is “NPR Politics” and its weekly roundup that follows all things Hillz and The Donald.

Twitter Who would have thought just a few years ago that Twitter would play such an important and volatile role in a presidential election? But week after week there you have it, sometimes with Skittles on top. When the first presidential debate begins this evening, I will have my remote control in one hand and my

phone in the other. I just can’t watch a debate — or an awards show for that matter — without Twitter. While my obsession is mostly for entertainment, I find it fascinating how often Twitter is cited as part of reporting. Our very own U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley has been known to cause a ruckus with his tweets from his famous “Windsor Heights Dairy Queen is good place for u kno what” to calling out “elite journalists.”

Buzzfeed even made a top 20 list of his tweets, and for that we thank them.

TheSkimm This Monday through Friday morning email “makes it easier to be smarter.” I read it every day before I get out of bed. It’s this really sharp, entertaining way to absorb serious national news.

As an added perk, it’s proven a solid way to read about all those app alerts I get and helps avoid turning on television news first thing. While geared for younger crowd, it really is a nice news summary to have under your belt before you head out the door.

Eye on America John Stossel

Supreme Court picks Hillary Clinton and her fellow progressives shout things like “Health care is a right!” They’ve also said that education, decent housing and child care are “rights.”

The U.N. goes further. Its bureaucrats declared that every person has a “right” to rest and leisure, food, clothing, housing, “necessary” social services, free education, periodic holidays with pay and protection from unemployment.

Wow. I guess Abe Lincoln, Thomas Edison and Mark Zuckerberg were denied basic human rights.

Clinton and the U.N. busybodies are wrong. Health care, housing and food are not “rights.” They are “gifts” bestowed by politicians. These “gifts” violate other people’s rights because politicians take from people to give to favored groups.

When America’s founders talked about rights, they had something else in mind.

In the Bill of Rights, each right is a right to not be meddled with, a right to be free from government — the right not to have your speech abridged, your religion banned, your guns taken or your property searched without a warrant.

The founders were tired of kings and dictators bossing them around. In their new country, they wanted to vote for presidents and other officials. But they also knew that over time even elected officials lust for more power. So they wanted clear limits on what those officials could do.

They created three branches of government — to check each other.

“Gridlock is a feature, not a bug,” says Ilya Shapiro, editor-in-chief of the Cato Institute’s Supreme Court Review journal. “The founding system was not to make government more efficient. It was meant to pass policies that have large agreement that’s sustained across time.”

Because presidents think Congress is failing when it doesn’t pass legislation they like, they nominate Supreme Court justices who may give them leeway.

Franklin Roosevelt tried to increase the size of the Court to squeeze in more justices who supported his programs. George W. Bush nominated his own White House Counsel.

The media call President Obama’s current nominee, Merrick Garland, “a centrist.” But he is “centrist” only in that he sides with Democrats who want to ban guns and Republicans who want government left free to do most anything in Guantanamo Bay. Garland repeatedly supports increased government power — and fewer checks.

Shapiro went to Chicago Law School when Obama was a professor there. He says Obama understands the limits the Constitution places on presidents but ignores them. He ignores them so often that the Supreme Court has overruled Obama unanimously more often than any modern president.

When Congress rejected Obama’s immigration plan, he just imposed it via executive order. The Supreme Court overturned that, but the final vote blocking it was close, 4-4. But what will the next court do?

I hope Hillary Clinton doesn’t get to replace Justice Scalia because she sounds a lot like President Obama.

On her website, she says things like, “If Congress won’t act, I will ask the Treasury Department ... to use its regulatory authority!”

Donald Trump is no better. He says he’ll impose the death penalty on anyone who kills a cop.

“But the executive has no say over that,” points out Shapiro.

Presidents cannot pass laws. They execute laws passed by Congress. Congress is supposed to reject legislation it doesn’t like. That’s its job. Most legislation is bad.

Opposed to sale of McCann Village I recently found out about the proposed sale of McCann Village to an outside corporation, Wishrock. I no longer live in Newton but I visit often and I am always concerned about events happening in Newton.

I know many of the residents that live in this wonderful community.

I was alarmed to hear about this proposed sale. McCann Village was founded as a nonprofit, affordable facility for seniors with

Legion riders honor veterans I would like to introduce the residents of Newton and Jasper County to the Newton Legion Riders. We are not a motorcycle club, but rather members of the Newton and Monroe American Legions that like to ride motorcycles.

Our main purpose is to honor veterans. We have only been organized close to four years. We have approximately 60 members and would love to have more.

This past spring we donated two

low income and has always been run by a local board of directors.

So much of America has been sold off to the detriment of America.

Maytag Company in Newton is a perfect example of what happens when an outside corporation takes over and the emphasis changes from what’s best for the people to what’s best for the stockholders and then the ultimate greed of the company and those who run it into the ground.

We all know what has happened in Newton with the loss of Maytag.

I would hate to see something

like this happen to McCann Village which is a godsend for many seniors.

I urge all those involved with this proposed sale to carefully consider any and all negative consequences that could arise from this sale. All too often empty promises are all that are left when the dust settles and yet another American corporation is bankrupt.

I wish McCann Village wise counsel, prayer and discernment as it considers future direction for McCann Village.

scholarships to seniors in high school. We have participated in Memorial Day ceremonies the last two years.

We held our first annual poker run in July — it was a huge success. We help out at the Legion when requested and on the spur of the moment lots of the time.

We help the American Legion out on Thunder Nites as well. We do flag lines for deceased veterans (in all types of weather) and this is one of our greatest privileges.

My main purpose for introducing us is that there have been several veterans that have passed

away in the last few months and we have not had the privilege to provide a flag line for them. As we have talked to all the funeral homes in Newton and Jasper County, we thought maybe we should let the public know we are available to honor their loved one during a difficult time.

All you have to do is mention at the funeral home that you would like to have a flag line and they will pass it on to us. There is no cost for us to do this. Again, it is an honor and a privilege we take very seriously.

Mom suspects military wife is retreating from her husband DEAR ABBY: My daughter and son-in-law are both in the military.

Currently her husband is stationed elsewhere. They have a 6-month-old daughter, and I’m staying with her to help her out for now. I have a gut feeling that she is cheating. Do I have the right to ask her? — WORRIED MOTHER IN CALIFORNIA DEAR WORRIED: Of course you do — that’s what mothers are for. You also have the right as her mother to point out that if it’s true, what the consequences of her fling may be when her husband returns.

When you talk to her, try not to come across as judgmental as much as concerned, and be prepared to do a lot of listening, because people don’t usually start affairs for no reason.

DEAR ABBY: I’m fairly certain that you have never heard this one before, but I am a slob. It’s embarrassing, but it is what it is. I’m working on it, but I’m nearly 70, so major change is unlikely.

I suspect a friend of mine used my hidden key and came into my house to clean for me on my birthday while I was out to dinner with my children.

She meant well, but I have asked her repeatedly not to help me. She simply refuses to listen to what she doesn’t want to hear. She says she cleans because it’s a stress reliever for her, but it just makes me feel more stressed.

Needless to say, I have taken in all of my hidden keys. I am frustrated by her actions and feel violated, not honored. Honestly, I am just embarrassed. I haven’t been feeling well for a while, so the house was particularly messy. I suspect she’s waiting for me to acknowledge her “thoughtfulness.”

Abby, please tell your readers that “helping a friend” is NO HELP if it isn’t welcome. I feel what she did was stubborn and selfish since it was

what she wanted to do — not what I wanted. I’m a big girl, and I can ask for help if I want it. — FRUSTRATED IN THE WEST DEAR FRUSTRATED: I feel for you, but the person who needs to receive that message is the person who has been doing this “for” you over your objections. Are you absolutely sure that it’s this friend who’s doing it and not some other well-meaning person — a relative, perhaps? If you are certain, then deliver the message with both barrels.

What concerns me is your statement that you have taken in your extra keys. That means “someone” may have made an extra copy, which would be not only a huge invasion of privacy but also a security problem. If the problem persists, have your locks changed.

DEAR ABBY: At what age is it acceptable and appropriate for my daughters to move out? — WONDERING IN WICHITA DEAR WONDERING: Many young adults live with their parents today because they are burdened with student loan debt and are unable to find jobs. I think the logical time for them to move out would be when they are able to support themselves.

Animal shelter offers safe haven as flooding looms

CEDAR RAPIDS — The Cedar Rapids Animal Care and Control shelter is providing a safe haven for pets as flooding looms.

Officials hope the offer of shelter will help persuade people to leave their flood-prone homes. The officials say some people might remain in their homes because they can’t find places to stay that will allow pets. More than 50 pets have already been taken to the shelter for temporary refuge. The shelter also has compiled a list of hotels and other places that will accept pets.

ISU president says he will stop flying school plane AMES — The president of Iowa State University says he will no longer pilot a university airplane he has used for trips that mixed business and personal time.

President Steven Leath said Monday that he and his wife will also make a donation to the university’s foundation to cover costs associated with an accident in the plane last summer. The moves come after Leath suffered a hard landing in the plane last summer on his way home from an 11day personal trip to North Carolina.

Plenty of water quality talk likely; action less likely DES MOINES (AP) — Some of Iowa’s most powerful interest groups along with environmental organizations are backing efforts to clean up the state’s waterways, but there isn’t unity about how to take action on an issue that has frustrated lawmakers in the past.

Spurred by a Des Moines water agency’s lawsuit that blames upstream counties for polluted drinking water, there are several ideas for improving Iowa’s streams and lakes, however Gov. Terry Branstad has rejected two of the most prominent suggestions.

Although the lack of action is frustrating, it reflects the

complexity of the problem and possible solutions, said Diane Rosenberg, who heads Jefferson County Farmers & Neighbors, one of 20 groups that have joined a coalition seeking a statewide moratorium on new and expanded livestock confinement operations.

“We need to look at who should be paying for our water cleanup,” she said. “There are a lot of people who argue where that responsibility falls.”

The powerful Iowa Farm Bureau also has weighed in on the issue, passing a resolution earlier this month that supported using new and existing state revenue to pay for water

quality improvements.

Separately, Iowa’s Water and Land Legacy — a coalition of agriculture, business and conservation groups including the Iowa Soybean Association — called for raising the state’s sales tax by threeeighths of a penny for water quality and other natural resources programs. Their push follows failed efforts in the Legislature to add money to a natural resources and outdoor recreation trust fund created in 2010 but which still has no funding.

Apart from the state efforts, last month, a national group called the Midwest Row Crop

Collaborative announced its plans to add sustainable farming practices in Illinois, Iowa and Nebraska and to reduce excessive nutrients from the waters that enter the Mississippi River. The group’s founding members include Monsanto, PepsiCo and Wal-Mart.

Branstad’s spokesman, Ben Hammes, said in an email the governor continues to believe long-term funding for water quality initiatives can be found “without raising taxes on Iowa taxpayers.” Branstad also rejected calls for the confinement moratorium, proposed by the Iowa Alliance for Responsible Agriculture,

Residents evacuate Cedar Rapids homes ahead of flooding CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — Several thousand residents of Cedar Rapids left their homes Sunday as floodwaters began to spill out of the rising Cedar River, and Iowa’s second-largest city worked to apply the lessons officials learned after the record 2008 flood.

The river crested Saturday night in Waterloo and Cedar Falls, which are about 55 miles upstream from Cedar Rapids, which is Iowa’s second-largest city, with about 130,000 people.

The water levels in Cedar Falls and Waterloo were slightly lower than had been expected, but they still reached levels that were second only to those in 2008, when a major flood devastated the region.

The National Weather Service predicted that the river will crest at 23 feet in Cedar Rapids on Tuesday morning — well below the 2008 record of 31.12 feet. Officials asked those living in about 5,000 downtown homes near the river to evacuate. They said it could be days before people can return home.

The Cedar Rapids school district said Sunday that it is canceling classes through Wednesday because of the flooding. District officials will reevaluate the situation by Wednesday afternoon.

Cedar Rapids City Manager Jeff Pomeranz said the city has been preparing to deal with a major flood since that of 2008, which

caused billions of dollars of damage. City workers and volunteers have been working for days to build a temporary system of levees to try to contain the floodwaters.

“All the work is coming together, and you can see the benefit of planning and preparation,” Pomeranz said.

After the 2008 flood, about 1,350 homes near the Cedar River were bought out and destroyed to reduce the amount of damage that future floods could inflict. About 45 acres of green space sit in that area today.

100 volunteers helped remove the seats from the restored Paramount Theater in Cedar Rapids and move them up to the second floor to protect them from floodwaters.

The theater was heavily damaged in the 2008 flood because it is one block from the Cedar River, and it cost $35 million to restore.

Unlike in 2008, residents have had more time to prepare for a flood. The benefit of that extra time was clear in the small town of Palo upstream where residents of more than 80 homes evacuated.

calling it an “extreme proposal that would harm agriculture and our economy in Iowa.”

Kirk Leeds, CEO of the Iowa Soybean Association, noted his organization supported the governor’s failed proposal last session to redirect some education infrastructure money toward water improvements. Leeds said the association is open to such discussions, but he doubts lawmakers would agree to use existing state dollars instead of generating new funding.

Small utilities in Iowa find role for renewable energy TRAER (AP) — A single wind turbine was already turning in the breeze several miles away when MidAmerican Energy began work on the Vienna Project, the utility company’s 14th wind farm, in 2012.

That one turbine, built in 2011 just southeast of Traer, may not get much attention compared to the Vienna Project’s 45 turbines — one of the smaller wind farms MidAmerican owns.

But that one turbine, on average, powers 40 percent of Traer Municipal Utilities’ energy usage. And it’ll likely be the only one the town of 1,700 ever requires.

“This pretty much meets the needs,” Pat Stief, general manager of TMU said.

TMU will have paid off the turbine at the end of next year, Stief said, and in addition to buying the energy until then, it will have invested $1.2 million in wind energy.

With that turbine, plus nearly 200 solar panels on a farm south of town that

are customer-owned, TMU was producing more renewable energy as a percentage of its energy needs when its turbine went online than the much-larger MidAmerican was at that time.

Stief notes the goal was never to compete with MidAmerican or Alliant Energy, both of which are making large wind investments in Iowa.

MidAmerican said it hopes to one day get to 100 percent renewable energy. TMU is happy where it’s at, said Stief.

“The biggest cause of (buying a turbine) was the spike in wholesale prices caused by deregulation of the wholesale markets” in 2006, Stief said, noting Traer is one of 25 municipal utilities buying energy through a consortium.

Another big driver was community buy-in — figuratively, but also literally — as customers could choose to buy solar panels for an extra discount on their bills each month.

Des Moines area brewers eager to sell beer in cans

AP Photo The tops of mailboxes barely break the surface of floodwaters from the Cedar River in the North Cedar neighborhood of Cedar Falls on Saturday.

Flooding Continued from Page 7A Kim Hutchins, whose home in Palo is about 10 miles upstream from Cedar Rapids said she spent Saturday packing up her kitchen while some friends unhooked her furnace in the basement and moved it up to the garage. Most of her furniture was piled onto trailers to move.

“They’ve been telling us it was coming for days. Last time, we had eight or 10 hours to get out,” said Hutchins, 53, who planned to go stay with her mother.

Palo residents were being urged not to use water on Sunday because of a sewer line break and area flooding. Officials said they were working to repair the sewer line quickly.

In the meantime, they were providing bottled water to residents.

Officials in Waterloo and Cedar Falls hope their communities will

Where’s those dollars going to come from? And that’s where many of us have come to the conclusion that if we’re really serious about finding a long-term dedicated funding stream ... that’s why the three-eighths cent sales tax makes sense.”

In Waterloo, the Cedar River crested at 22.95 feet Saturday.

That’s well below the 2008 record of 27 feet, but still caused major flooding. It remained at 22 feet Sunday afternoon.

“We do have pockets of damage in some areas that we will be looking at, but the water is still very high,” Glover said. “We need to

Rosenberg said members of the Iowa Alliance for Responsible Agriculture weren’t surprised by Branstad’s reaction to the group’s proposed moratorium on confinements, which they blame for polluting waterways and creating health problems for nearby residents.

By publicizing the proposal, however, the group hopes to ensure water quality becomes an issue in the 2018 gubernatorial election.

“We don’t have any anticipation that Gov. Branstad will be supportive of this moratori-

Parts of southern Minnesota and southwestern Wisconsin experienced flooding over the past few days, but it appeared that most of the threat of major flooding had passed in those states by Sunday.

In the southern Minnesota town of St. Clair, eight to 10 homes remained evacuated Sunday. Assistant Blue Earth County Emergency Manager Eric Weller said Sunday that “we were very lucky overnight” that not much rain fell.

um, but that doesn’t mean that others down the road won’t be open,” she said.

Although Branstad’s plan last session to redirect some education infrastructure money toward water quality was rejected by lawmakers from both parties, he has begun promoting a revamped version. Branstad also still supports legislation passed in the Republican-controlled House that would use existing state dollars for water quality. It did not advance in the Democratic-majority Senate over objec-

DES MOINES (AP) — The beer aisle in Des Moines grocery stores is about to look a lot more local.

Three central Iowa breweries are adding canning lines in the coming months, a move that will allow them to put their beer on shelves and in coolers around the region.

Firetrucker Brewery in Ankeny recently installed a canning line and plans to release cans of Brigade Ale and Burnout Brown starting Sept. 27.

Confluence Brewing Co. plans to install a canning line as part of a larger expansion of its brewery on the south side of Des Moines.

Cans of Des Moines IPA and Farmer John’s Multi-grain Ale should be available by the start of 2017.

Exile Brewing Co. is adding a canning line as part of an expansion that will more than triple the downtown brewery’s capacity. Exile plans to start producing 12- and 16-ounce cans of Hannah, a Bavarian wheat; Ruthie, a gold lager; and some seasonal beers next spring when the expansion is complete.

The three breweries will be the first in central Iowa to offer cans.

Exile bottles some of its

tions to using money from the state general fund.

Neither House Republicans nor Senate Democrats, who control those chambers, have endorsed a specific water quality plan for the next session.

A key motivation to the water quality debate has been a pending lawsuit by Des Moines Water Works, which supplies drinking water to 500,000 central Iowa residents. The utility, which has joined the Iowa Alliance for Responsible Agriculture, has challenged whether agriculture drainage districts

beer, and Confluence sells 32-ounce glass jugs of its beer at some stores.

But in large part, beer lovers have to belly up to a bar or visit the breweries themselves to drink locally made beer.

For any brewery, adding a packaging line is a significant milestone, said Dave Ropte, president of the Iowa Brewers Guild. Producing cans or bottles allows a brewery to capture a slice of the huge amount of money being spent on beer at gas stations, supermarkets and liquor stores.

“It’s a pretty big step,” Ropte said. “It really opens of a whole new set of opportunities to get your beer out into the marketplace and into consumers’ hands.”

Cans or bottles are also easier to sell to bars and restaurants.

A mom-and-pop bar might not have space for a keg of Des Moines IPA on tap, but they might stock a bar with a couple of 12-packs.

“It’s just a more versatile package,” said Confluence co-founder and head brewer John Martin. “It’s going to allow quite a bit of volume growth right out of the gate, because it’s what people want.”

have immunity from lawsuits and whether monetary damages can be sought. The Iowa Supreme Court is now reviewing the case.

Des Moines Water Works CEO Bill Stowe called the lawsuit a catalyst for broader discussions on water quality in the Legislature. He is still considering what legislation to back during the session but expressed confidence the uncertainty surrounding the lawsuit “will continue to keep the discussion going at the General Assembly level.”

Know the differences in Medicare and Medicaid SPONSORED BY

Most people have heard of Medicare and Medicaid but don’t have a thorough understanding of how either program, both established in 1965, might be able to help them.

They aren’t the only ones. Thankfully, there are a number of resources that can help answer your questions, including the direct sources at www.medicare. gov, 1-800-MEDICARE and www.medicaid.gov, 1-877267-2323.

Having a basic understanding about the differences between the two is helpful in getting started. In the simplest terms, Medicare is an insurance program while Medicaid is an assistance program.

Medicare is our country’s health insurance program for those age 65 and older.

In addition, some people under the age of 65 also can quality for Medicare due to disabilities.

According to the social security administration, a person has choices for how they can get Medicare coverage, including purchasing supplemental policies that will help cover some of the medical costs that Medicare will not.

Medicare is broken into four

parts: A (hospital insurance), B (medical insurance), C (Medicare Advantage plans) and D (Medicare prescription drug coverage).

The Medicare funds come from payroll taxes that have been paid by employees and their company. While these costs cover most of the Medicare expenses, other funds are deducted from social security checks.

On the other hand, Medicaid patients generally pay no part of the costs for covered medical expenses, as it truly is an assistance program. Medicaid serves low-income people and unlike Medicare, it serves people of all ages. The program is a federal-state run one although it varies from state to state and is thus operated by state and local governments within federal guidelines.

Some people qualify for both programs, but just because you are eligible for one program doesn’t mean you will also qualify for the other.

In order to qualify for both, you’ll need to meet separate eligibility requirements.

Benefits Of Good Posture

Proper body alignment can ease stress on our spine and joints; it can help reduce muscle strain, backache, neck pain and headaches. Posture can affect energy levels and the ability to generate positive or negative thoughts.

Participants in a recent study who were upright felt happier, more self-confident and more energetic than those who slouched. Energy and productivity levels may be affected by posture because slouching reduces oxygen intake. Highpower postures characterized by tall, wide stances, actually increased levels of testosterone and lowered stress hormone, cortisol. Low-power postures, contractive and closed stances, had the opposite effect.

Cardinals claim 4A district opener victory Newton overcomes slow start, beats Marshalltown for Homecoming

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Momentum is fickle.

Newton High’s Cardinals were dominating the first quarter Friday at home against Marshalltown’s Bobcats, but the Bobcats swung momentum to their side on one play.

Marshalltown’s Thomas Snyder intercepted a Newton pass and dashed 71 yards for the touchdown.

“That was a bad read on my part. I should never have thrown the ball,” Newton quarterback Garrett Sturtz said after the game. “Then Trevor got it all back for us.”

Yes, on the ensuing kickoff Newton junior Trevor Ergenbright used his blockers well as he had a 90-yard return for a touchdown. Zach Combs’ kick tied the game at 7-7 with 3:18 left in the first quarter.

It took 14 seconds to swing the momentum pendulum back toward the Cardinals.

The Cardinals kept it there for a 45-14 win over the Bobcats to begin Class 4A District 4 action.

Newton survived three turnovers in the first quarter — four overall — to stay undefeated, 5-0, for the season.

“It was a strange game. I was aggravated with the offense being out of kilter,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said. “We practiced great all week. We kept shooting ourselves in the foot, but the kids made up for it with a huge special teams play. We overwhelmed them (the Bobcats) on defense.”

The Cardinals forced the Bobcats to punt on their first two possessions with sophomore defensive end Jaise Gulling blocking the second punt attempt by Kody Ricken.

Newton recovered the ball at Marshalltown’s 22-yard line.

“I was getting blocked a lot at the start of the game and couldn’t get up field,” Gulling said. “I made some adjustments and got in there to block the punt. We’re feeling

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News To the house — Newton High junior Trevor Ergenbright (10) races past all the Marshalltown players on his way to a 90-yard kickoff return swinging momentum back to the Cardinals in Friday night’s NHS Homecoming game and Class 4A District 4 opener at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

Marshalltown had returned an interception for a TD, taken a 7-0 lead then the Bobcats kicked off and Ergenbright scored. Newton won 45-14.

pretty comfortable with our defense and doing well in it.”

Newton fumbled the football for the second time in the game. The Bobcats recovered it at their own 4-yard line.

Their drive was four plays and punt. Newton started its possession at the Marshalltown 34 then came the pick-6 by the Bobcats.

Ergenbright’s kickoff return was the equalizer. Despite

penalties and the four turnovers, Newton righted its ship for the contest from there.

Marshalltown quarterback Sam Irwin directed a drive to the Newton 22-yard line by the conclusion of the first period. An incomplete pass opened the second quarter on a third-down play. The Bobcats went on a fourth-and-7, but Irwin’s pass fell short of its target.

Newton’s ground game took over with running by junior Jaron Roush, senior Jordan Norvell and Sturtz. It set up a scoring pass play. Sturtz delivered the football to Ergenbright over the middle in stride, and Ergenbright raced to the end zone. The play covered 54 yards, beginning a 17-point scoring surge in the second quarter by Newton.

“We talked about limit-

ing the mistakes and holding onto the ball,” senior offensive lineman Alex Miller said. “We were moving the ball on them, but then have a penalty or a fumble. We stepped it up.”

Senior Reese Rosenquist, one of the few players for Newton playing both offense and defense, intercepted an Irwin pass on the first play CARDINALS | 8B

CMB battles through mistakes to win final Homecoming

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News BAXTER — For the second straight game, Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s football team has held a significant advantage in total yards.

Unfortunately, the success moving the football hasn’t led to easy victories yet.

The Raiders out-gained East Marshall 408-286 on Friday night, but the offense played behind the sticks too much because of penalties. Despite those 12 penalties for 115 yards and not having head coach Rob Luther on the sidelines, CMB found a way to win during a 27-21 triumph in the program’s final Homecoming game.

Blake Coughenour rushed for 209 yards and three touchdowns in helping the Raiders win their second straight game after beginning the season 0-3.

“There were holes everywhere,” Coughenour said. “I couldn’t be more proud of my offensive line. We didn’t start out very well, but we are starting to figure it out that we can run the ball whenever we want.”

CMB led 7-0 after one quarter and had a 14-7 lead at halftime. East Marshall won the second half 14-13, but the Raiders (2-3) held on to improve their Class 2A District 3 record to 2-1.

Vikings stop Newton, snap Panthers’ home win streak CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Minnesota Vikings keep finding ways to overcome injuries —and keep finding ways to win football games.

Sam Bradford threw a touchdown pass to Kyle Rudolph, Marcus Sherels returned a punt for a score and the Vikings snapped the Carolina Panthers’ 14-game home winning streak 22-10 on Sunday.

The Vikings put the clamps on Cam Newton, intercepting the league’s reigning MVP three times and getting eight sacks, one of those resulting in a safety by Danielle Hunter.

The Vikings improved 3-0 despite losing running back Adrian Peterson and offensive tackle Matt Kalil to injuries last week.

They lost starting quarterback Ted-

dy Bridgewater in the preseason.

The Panthers were averaging 42 points per game in their last three home games but could do little after bolting to a 10-0 lead. The Vikings held Carolina wide receivers Kelvin Benjamin and Devin Funchess without a catch.

Benjamin said the Vikings’ pressure on Newton helped take him out of the game.

Bradford improved to 2-0 as the Vikings starter, completing 18-of-28 passes for 171 yards. With Peterson injured, Matt Asiata and Jerick McKinnon combined for 70 yards rushing on 22 carries.

Rudolph had seven catches for 70 yards, including a 15-yard TD catch to put the Vikings ahead for good early in the third quarter.

Marlins ace Fernandez dies in boating accident MIAMI (AP) — Jose Fernandez escaped from Cuba by boat on his fourth try as a teenager, and when his mother fell into the Yucatan Channel during the journey, he jumped in and pulled her out.

Fernandez’s heroic backstory made his death early Sunday that much more heart-wrenching. The charismatic Miami Marlins ace was killed in a boating accident at age 24.

Fernandez and two other people died when their 32-foot vessel slammed into a jetty off Miami Beach, authorities said.

Authorities didn’t know the time of the crash. The capsized boat was found shortly after 3 a.m.

“All I can do is scream in disbelief,” said Hall of Famer Tony Perez, a Marlins executive and native of Cuba. “Jose won the love of all. I feel as if I had lost a son.”

Major League Baseball released a statement saying it was “stunned and devastated.”

“He was one of our game’s great young stars who made a dramatic impact on and off the field since his debut in 2013,” Commissioner Rob Manfred said.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, the Miami Marlins organization and all of the people

he touched in his life.”

The Marlins’ game Sunday at home against the Atlanta Braves was canceled. The Braves, along with several other teams, quickly offered condolences.

“Hands down one of my favorite guys to watch pitch! He brought nothing but intensity and passion,” Boston Red Sox pitcher David Price tweeted.

Within hours after the news broke, Marlins players gathered at the ballpark to grieve together.

“A lot of words were said — meaningful words and emotion and prayer,” team president David Samson said. “Jose is a member of this family for all time.”

Samson spoke at a news conference while surrounded by every player on the Marlins, except their ace. The players wore team jerseys — black ones. Pitcher David Phelps stared at the floor and shook his head, while outfielder Christian Yelich took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Their eyes were red.

Manager Don Mattingly and president of baseball operations Michael Hill flanked Samson and unsuccessfully fought back tears.

Slugger Giancarlo Stanton didn’t speak but later posted a tribute on Instagram.

“I’m still waiting to wake up from this nightmare,” Stanton said.

“I lost my brother today and can’t quite comprehend it. The shock is overwhelming. What he meant to me, our team, the city of Miami, Cuba & everyone else in the world that his enthusiasm/heart has touched can never be replaced.

I can’t fathom what his family is going through because We, as his extended Family are a wreck.”

Fernandez was on a vessel that hit a jetty near a harbor entrance, said Lorenzo Veloz of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission.

The overturned boat remained in the water for several hours, its engines partially submerged as its nose pointed skyward, and debris from the crash was scattered over some of the large jagged rocks.

City of Miami Fire-Rescue workers were seen carrying bodies, draped and on stretchers, at the Coast Guard station after sunrise.

They were taken to the medical examiner’s office. Two bodies were found under the vessel and a third was found on the jetty.

The names of the other two victims were withheld pending notification of relatives, the Coast Guard said.

Hawks’ defense solid in fifth straight victory

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — A little more than two minutes were gone in the game and Class A seventh-ranked Lynnville-Sully found itself behind 6-0 at home Friday night. Visiting Winfield Mount Union’s Broc Miller intercepted a pass returning it 47 yards for the touchdown.

“We came out a little flat, but the guys responded well,” Hawk head coach Mike Parkinson said following the Hawks’ 44-6 win. “We played outstanding defense the whole night. Our offense got on track, especially in the second half.”

Lynnville-Sully answered

with a 96-yard scoring drive capped on a 25-yard TD pass from Elijah Collins to Brevin Hansen to close out the first quarter. The Hansen 2-point conversion run by Sage Zylstra put the Hawks in front for good, 8-6.

Collins connected with Caden Dunsbergen midway through the second period for a 34-yard TD pass play and Hansen kicked the extra point. Zylstra, who finished with 161 yards on 20 carries, broke off a 40-yard scoring run three minutes later.

The Hawks were up 22-6 at halftime.

“At halftime, I challenged our guys to be the more physical team on the field.

We’ve Vaner Leest been that the first four games of the season,” Parkinson said. “Our guys answered my challenge in the second half. We played hard and controlled the game.”

The Hawks rolled up 415 yards of total offense while holding Winfield Mt. Union to 45 total yards.

Dylan Roozeboom had nine tackles for Lynnville-Sul-

ly. Ryan Hofer and Zylstra each had six tackles.

Gage Vander Leest scored the first of his two touchdowns with 9:15 left in the third quarter. Hansen caught the 2-point conversion pass from Collins.

Five minutes later, Zylstra found the end zone for the second time in the game on a 3-yd run with Hansen kicking the extra point.

Finishing the scoring with 52 seconds left in the game was a 1-yard touchdown run

by Vander Leest, who had 25 yards on 10 carries in the game. Evan Squires ran for 26 yards on seven carries.

Collins was 10-of-18 passing for 107 yards. He also ran for 46 yards on 11 carries. Ca-

den Dunsbergen made two catches for 41 yards, and Hansen caught four passes for 50 yards.

Arnold Palmer dies at 87, made golf popular for masses

By Doug Ferguson The Associated Press Arnold Palmer brought a country-club sport to the masses with a hard-charging style, charisma and a commoner’s touch, At ease with both presidents and the golfing public, and on a first-name basis with both, “The King,” died Sunday in Pittsburgh. He was 87.

Alastair Johnson, CEO of Arnold Palmer Enterprises, confirmed that Palmer died Sunday afternoon of complications from heart problems.

Johnson said Palmer was admitted to the hospital Thursday for some cardiovascular work and weakened over the last few days.

Palmer ranked among the most important figures in golf history, and it went well beyond his seven major championships and 62 PGA Tour wins. His good looks, devilish grin and go-for-broke manner made the elite sport appealing to one and all. And it helped that he arrived about the same time as television moved into most households, a perfect fit that sent golf to unprecedented popularity.

“If it wasn’t for Arnold, golf wouldn’t be as popular as it is now,” Tiger Woods said in 2004 when Palmer played in his last Masters. “He’s the one who basically brought it to the forefront on TV. If it wasn’t for him and his excitement, his flair, the way he played, golf probably would not have had that type of excitement.

“And that’s why he’s the king.”

Beyond his golf, Palmer was a pioneer in sports marketing, paving the way for scores of other athletes to reap in millions from endorsements. Some four decades after his last PGA

AP File Photo Former Masters champion Arnold Palmer is shown acknowledging the crowd after hitting the ceremonial first tee shot prior to the first round of the 2007 Masters golf tournament at the Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga. Palmer, who made golf popular for the masses with his hard-charging style, incomparable charisma and a personal touch that made him known throughout the golf world as “The King,” died Sunday in Pittsburgh. He was 87.

Tour win, he ranked among the highest-earners in golf.

On the golf course, Palmer was an icon not for how often he won, but the way he did it.

He would hitch up his pants, drop a cigarette and attack the flags. With powerful hands wrapped around the golf club, Palmer would slash at the ball with all of his might, then twist that muscular neck and squint to see where it went.

“When he hits the ball, the earth shakes,” Gene Littler once said.

Palmer rallied from seven shots behind to win a U.S. Open. He blew a seven-shot lead on the back nine to lose a U.S. Open.

He was never dull.

“I’m pleased that I was able to do what I did from a golfing standpoint,” Palmer said in 2008, two years after he played in his last official tournament.

“I would like to think that I left them more than just that.”

He left behind a gallery

known as “Arnie’s Army,” which began at Augusta National with a small group of soldiers from nearby Fort Hood, and grew to include a legion of fans from every corner of the globe.

Palmer stopped playing the Masters in 2004 and hit the ceremonial tee shot every year until 2016, when age began to take a toll and he struggled with his balance.

It was Palmer who gave golf the modern version of the Grand Slam — winning all four professional majors in one year. He came up with the idea after winning the Masters and U.S. Open in 1960.

Palmer was runner-up at the British Open, later calling it one of the biggest disappointments of his career. But his appearance alone invigorated the British Open, which Americans had been ignoring for years.

Palmer never won the PGA Championship, one major short of capturing a career

Grand Slam.

But then, standard he set went beyond trophies. It was the way he treated people, looking everyone in the eye with a smile and a wink. He signed every autograph, making sure it was legible. He made every fan feel like an old friend.

Palmer played at least one PGA Tour event every season for 52 consecutive years, ending with the 2004 Masters. He spearheaded the growth of the 50-and-older Champions Tour, winning 10 times and drawing some of the biggest crowds.

He was equally successful off with golf course design, a wine collection, and apparel that included his famous logo of an umbrella. He bought the Bay Hill Club & Lodge upon making his winter home in Orlando, Florida, and in 2007 the PGA Tour changed the name of the tournament to the Arnold Palmer Invitational.

The combination of iced tea

and lemonade is known as an “Arnold Palmer.”

Palmer was born Sept. 10, 1929 in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, the oldest of four children. His father, Deacon, became the greenskeeper at Latrobe Country Club in 1921 and the club pro in 1933.

Palmer’s first wife, Winning, died in 1999. They had two daughters, and grandson Sam Saunders plays on the PGA Tour. Palmer married Kathleen (Kit) Gawthrop in 2005.

Palmer was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1997, which was caught early. He returned to golf a few months later, winking at fans as he waded through the gallery, always a smile and a signature for them.

“I’m not interested in being a hero,” Palmer said, implying that too much was made about his return from cancer.

“I just want to play some golf.”

That, perhaps, is his true epitaph. Palmer lived to play.

Cyclones drill San Jose State

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior Hunter McWhirter (11) finds a block from senior linemen Toren Schultheis (60) during the Raiders’ 27-21 win over East Marshall on Friday. CMB gained 339 yards on the ground in the win.

Raiders

Continued from Page 1B East Marshall fell to 1-4 overall and 0-3 in district play.

“It’s important to win the game. It’s homecoming, and we are trying to keep our ship on the right course, but mistakes just hurt us tonight,” Defensive Coordinator Jason Aker said.

“We are making mental mistakes that can’t be made in Week 5 of a season.”

Aker and the other CMB assistant coaches had bigger roles Friday because Luther was not permitted to be at the game after he was ejected from the Sept. 16 game against West Marshall.

Both teams put together long drives on their first offensive possessions of the game.

East Marshall began with the ball and drove 64 yards in 10 plays before turning the ball over on downs.

CMB went 79 yards in 17 plays on its first drive. The Raiders benefited from an offsides penalty by East Marshall when they went for it on fourth-and-1 from their 30-yard line. The biggest plays from scrimmage were 7-yard runs by Hunter McWhirter and Dalton Birchmier. Coughenour capped the drive with a 4-yard TD rush.

East Marshall answered the Raiders’ scoring drive with a game-tying drive of its own.

This time, the Mustangs went 80 yards in 15 plays. Tyler DeBondt found Noah Bandstra on 14-yard TD pass with 6:10 to go until halftime.

The only other drive of the first half for CMB ended with another touchdown. McWhirter found Brady Kemp on a 10-yard pass that resulted in a first down and then Coughenour sprinted for 15 yards on the next play. On third and 8, Coughenour got it again and cruised past the Mustang defense for a 46-yard TD. “He’s one of the greatest running backs I have ever seen,” offensive linemen Jason Hillgren said. “Our run game can be unstoppable if we can get our line going.”

The Raiders got the ball first to start the third quarter. They made it 3-for-3 on the night when Coughenour scored his third TD on a 12-yard run.

Braydon Aker set up the score with back-to-back first-down runs of 16 and 12 yards. Aker also converted a third down and 3 with an 18-yard run. Coughenour scored one play later.

“Braydon is coming off a leg injury and for him to run the football like that was great to

see,” Coach Aker said.

East Marshall’s passing offense gave CMB fits all night long. The Mustangs got within 21-13 on their first drive of the second half when they covered 66 yards in 11 plays.

DeBondt completed three passes for first downs on the drive and Bandstra’s 1-yard TD run was set up by a 17-yard pass from DeBondt to Cole Nauman and a CMB roughing the passer penalty.

“Defensively, we have to get off the field. We couldn’t stop the pass tonight,” Coach Aker said.

CMB’s fourth possession resulted in a fourth straight touchdown. On the drive, Aker connected with Travis Lindemoen for 15 yards on fourth and 2. A 2-yard run by Aker on fourth and 1 kept the ball with CMB and then Coughenour’s 12-yard run set up Aker’s 9-yard TD pass to Maxwell.

East Marshall fumbled away the ensuing kickoff, but CMB couldn’t turn the miscue into points and it turned it over on downs after five plays.

The Mustangs regained momentum on their next drive.

Starting on its own 22-yard line, East Marshall drove 78 yards in 12 plays. The drive included 20 yards in CMB penalties, and DeBondt connected on a 28yard pass to Zane Johnson, a 10yard pass to Logan Nicholson and a 12-yard pass to Nauman before connecting with Johnson for a 4-yard TD. The Mustangs got within six points after DeBondt completed a pass to Lansin Lacina on the 2-point conversion attempt.

CMB had one final drive to ice away the victory. The Raiders began on their own 40-yard line after Johnson kicked the ball out of bounds on the kickoff.

Coughenour gained first downs on runs of 9, 15 and 12, but he was stopped a couple yards short of the sticks later on fourth and 6.

East Marshall gained 15 yards on the first play of its final drive thanks to a CMB penalty. Lindemoen broke up the next pass attempt, and then sophomore Will Clapper batted down a DeBondt pass as time expired.

McWhirter was 6-for-8 for 47 yards through the air, while Aker passed for 22 yards, including a 9-yard TD to Maxwell.

“I think both of our QBs trust each other. They have a goofy handshake that they do in practice, but the competition is helping to push each other,” Coach Aker said. “They are not pouting about it and just trying to do

what they can do to help us win.”

Aker rushed for 73 yards on 10 carries. The Raiders gained 339 yards on the ground and averaged 6.3 yards per carry.

DeBondt threw for 267 yards and two scores in the loss. The Mustangs only rushed for 19 yards on 19 carries.

CMB’s defense had five sacks.

It also was the first time this season the Raider offense didn’t have a turnover in a game.

“Not turning the ball over was big. The turnovers have killed us,” Coughenour said. “We’ve had so many chances to stomp on teams’ throats. I don’t know what it is, but it’s big to get our second straight win.”

The Raiders still need to clean up the penalties. Coughenour had a 62-yard touchdown run called back because of a holding infraction in the third after East Marshall got within 21-13.

CMB’s final drive featured back-to-back holding calls, one of which came on another big gain by Coughenour.

Kemp led the Raider receivers with five catches for 42 yards.

Hillgren and Archer McFadden each had two sacks to lead the CMB defense. Clapper had the other sack.

Hillgren and Clapper each had three tackles and two tackles for loss, while McFadden finished with 2.5 tackles and two tackles for loss.

Coughenour has 769 rushing yards in the first five games, which ranks second in 2A. The senior tailback’s nine rushing TDs is currently tied for fourth.

“The season didn’t start off too well, but I think we have found some plays that are starting to work,” Hillgren said. “We have a couple wins now. Hopefully we can keep going.”

CMB attempts to get a third consecutive win at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Des Moines. The Raiders face Heart of Iowa Conference rival Saydel in a district contest.

“I don’t know that we can take any team in our district lightly,” Coach Aker said. “Getting two wins feels good, but we are going to have to fix those mental mistakes this week against Saydel.”

AMES (AP) — For once, there wasn’t a quarterback controversy for Iowa State.

The Cyclones excelled behind both Joel Lanning and Jacob Park, who helped deliver firstyear coach Matt Campbell’s first win.

Park threw for 165 yards and three touchdowns and Iowa State thumped San Jose State 44-10 on Saturday.

Mike Warren rushed for a season-high 103 yards for Iowa State (13), which finally had some success rotating Lanning, the starter, and Park.

Lanning was 5-of-8 passing for 136 yards and two TDs. The pair rotated on what appeared to be a pre-planned schedule — and the Spartans couldn’t stop either one of them.

“You can call it a rotation or us competing or whatever you want. But we don’t see it as that.

We’re just taking our opportunities that we get and try to execute,” Lanning said. “We just kind of fed off each other.”

The Cyclones needed just 7:51 and 24 plays to put up 23 points — a season high for a game — in the first half. Lanning’s 49-yard TD pass to Deshaunte Jones made it 30-3 early in the second half.

“It was efficient. That’s the thing we have to be to have success,” Campbell said of the offense, which finished with 503 yards.

San Jose State freshman Josh Love threw for 155 yards, but he also was picked off four times.

The Spartans (1-3) sorely missed starter Kenny Potter, who was out with a leg injury.

Iowa State hosts Baylor, its third opponent to be ranked at some point this season.

The Takeaway Iowa State: Campbell has preached about

“the process” it takes to be successful from the day he arrived in Ames.

The Cyclones finally got to see what he meant Saturday. Despite some struggles containing the run, Iowa State was the better team on both sides of the ball. For a program that dropped its previous two games by a combined 60 points, that’s progress.

San Jose State: Love might be good someday for the Spartans. But his interception total didn’t include a handful of picks that Iowa State just missed out on.

San Jose State desperately needs a healthy Potter if it hopes to push for a bowl bid.

Park vs. Lanning Though Lanning has been the starter since the middle of last season, Park has impressed the coaching staff enough to earn snaps. Park, a sophomore, played like a senior against the Spartans.

Park’s pocket presence and awareness was fantastic, as was his touch on both short and deep balls.

Notables San Jose State has lost 12 straight regular season games against non-conference FBS opponents. Its last win came at home against BYU four years ago. ...

Warren has rushed for 198 yards in his last two games. He had just 58 in his first two. ... Cyclones kicker Cole Netten connected on a 49-yard field goal, his 12th straight dating back to 2015.

That’s a new school record. ... Zamore Zigler rushed for 104 yards on 24 carries for San Jose State, which had 177 yards on 47 attempts.

Though that looked like a strong effort from Iowa State’s rush defense, the Cyclones allowed three different Spartans to pick up 13 or more yards on a single carry.

Wadley’s late touchdown run lifts Hawkeyes over Rutgers PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — Iowa didn’t travel to Rutgers and get that big one-sided, bounce-back win in their Big Ten Conference opener.

The Hawkeyes got a win though, and that was an improvement over a week ago when they were stunned by North Dakota State.

Akrum Wadley scored on 26-yard run on the play after Iowa’s defense forced a turnover deep in Rutgers’ territory, and the Hawkeyes showed some grit late in both halves

in a 14-7 victory over tougher-than-expected Rutgers on Saturday.

Safety Brandon Snyder set up the winning score by stripping the ball from receiver Andre Patton with just less than nine minutes to play to help Iowa (3-1, 1-0 Big Ten) win its ninth straight regular-season conference game and its seventh straight league win on the road.

After being pushed back five yards on a false start after the turnover, Wadley — a

Newark native — patiently followed his blockers around the left side for the go-ahead touchdown.

C.J. Beathard threw a 36yard touchdown pass to tight end George Kittle late in the first half to give Iowa a 7-0 lead.

Rutgers (2-2, 0-1) tied the game early in the fourth quarter on a 14-yard TD pass from Chris Laviano to Patton.

The Scarlet Knights got to the Hawkeyes 17 after falling behind late, but Iowa came

up with stops on third- and fourth-down runs to end the drive.

Iowa took the lead late in the first half on Beathard’s touchdown pass to Kittle.

It capped an eight-play, 99-yard drive that started after the Hawkeyes’ defense stopped the Scarlet Knights after they got a first-and-goal at the 3 on a 76-yard catch and run by Janarion Grant .

King stepped on Grant’s right leg at the end of the play and Rutgers’ dynamic receiver

was knocked out of the game.

Beathard had runs of 14 and 12 yards on the drive and hit four passes, the last to a wide-open Kittle.

Rutgers tied the game on Laviano’s third-down pass to Patton in the left corner of the end zone with 12:45 left in regulation, capping a 13-play, 88-yard drive.

Justin Goodwin had runs of 24 and 13 yards and Laviano had a 12-yard run.

Iowa hosts Northwestern at 11 a.m. on Saturday.

What do you want? If you can’t say, you’re not alone in this, though it will be worthwhile to contemplate what’s tying up your tongue. Fear?

Confusion? Too many options?

Search inside. Because if you can’t say what you want, you can’t get it. Pluto’s new direct status presents an opportunity to get clear and move quickly forward.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept.

Everything you want can be obtained through focused action, which starts with a

Aquarius and Pisces adore you.

Your lucky numbers are: 9, 30, 17, 22 and 18.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Alex Inskeep swims a freestyle race for the NCMP Aquagirls at a home meet recently. On Saturday, the Aquagirls competed in the West Des Moines Valley High Tiger Tanker Invittaional in West Des Moines.

NCMP’s Blommers wins 100-yd breaststroke on a record swim at Valley’s Tiger Tanker

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

WEST DES MOINES — Setting team records early in the season in the 100-yard breaststroke pushed NCMP sophomore Lindsey Blommers to a new goal. She decided on seeing how much she can lower her mark in the event.

Blommers shaved two seconds off her NCMP record in winning the 100 breaststroke race at Saturday’s West Des Moines Valley High Tiger Tanker. Blommers’ winning time of 1 minute 7.41 seconds was three seconds ahead of the entire field of swimmers at the invitational meet.

Blommers broke the long-standing NCMP breaststroke record on Sept. 1 at Grinnell then a week later lowered her own record to 1:09.45 at Ankeny Centennial. Saturday’s time moved Blommers

Cardinals

Continued from Page 1B of the Bobcats’ next possession. Rosenquist opened Newton’s drive with a 13-yard run.

The Cardinals’ drive stalled at the Marshalltown 19-yard line, setting up a first for placekicker Combs. Combs nailed his first varsity field goal from 36 yards out at the 5:57 mark of the second quarter.

“With homecoming week there were a lot of distractions, and we weren’t as focused to start the game, but we kept battling,” Combs, who also plays defense, said. “It felt great — it was a great snap, a great hold and I did what I do.”

Newton’s defense held the Bobcats to 180 yards rushing, keeping starting running back Marquis Haynes under wraps — 53 yards on 12 carries. Avery Brooks finished with 72 yards rushing, but 41 came on a late TD run in the fourth quarter.

Irwin completed just 8-of20 pass attempts for 36 yards against the Cardinals.

“I was really pleased the way our defense kept giving us the ball back. We finally put some things together offensively,” Ergenbright said.

Brady Smith, who was crowned 2016 Homecoming King on Thursday, racked up 11 solo tackles and one assisted tackle. Rosenquist had two quarterback sacks while Blayden Rhone, Busch and Smith each had one sack.

Rosenquist had six solo tackles and one assisted tackle. Rhone and Combs each had six solo tackles and one assisted tackle while Busch had four solo stops and three assisted tackles.

On the Bobcats’ next possession in the second quarter, Rosenquist and Jaise Gulling had back-to-back quarterback sacks forcing another

from 11th to fifth in the bre a s t s t ro ke rankings.

“Lindsey looked smooth and comfortable the whole race,” NCMP head coach Sarah PatterBlommers son said. “We will keep training and working on race strategy. She is very coachable and fun to have in the pool.”

The 100 breaststroke win by Blommers was NCMP’s only win of the day in a meet with three of the top 10 teams in the Iowa power rankings. Thirdranked Waukee squeezed past fifth-ranked Dowling Catholic for the meet title, 408-399.

Sixth-ranked Valley was third with 374 points.

Atlantic, which is ranked 22nd, was fourth with 229 points and 25th-ranked Marshalltown punt.

Newton marched 63 yards in five plays to extend its lead.

Rosenquist dived to the pylon on a 26-yard TD run and Combs kicked the extra point for the 31-7 lead with 52 seconds left until halftime.

“We made one adjustment on defense at halftime to control the pitch on the sweep play they were having success on. That was it,” Combs said.

The third quarter was much of a back-and-forth affair for the teams. Newton’s third fumble of the night came on the first play of the second half.

Marshalltown’s offense put together its first scoring threat of the game, but a penalty was a setback for the Bobcats. On a fourth-and-15 play from the Newton 33-yard line, Irwin’s pass was intercepted by Newton’s Grayson Graham at the 10-yard line.

“We had a slow start tonight. We weren’t as focused as we usually are with our execution,” Sturtz said. “We started picking it up in the second quarter, and finally got in a rhythm. We had a game plan, made adjustments as we went and got the job done.”

The lone score of the third quarter was by the Cardinals.

They started at their own 31 with 6:15 on the clock. They used a fake punt play — a run

by Rosenquist — to keep the drive alive. Sturtz connected with Ergenbright over the middle to move the ball deep into Bobcat territory.

Rosenquist capped the drive with a 4-yard touchdown run at the 2:36 mark.

Combs’ kick made it 38-7.

Marshalltown moved the ball to Newton’s 41-yard line by the end of the third quarter. Two incomplete passes opened the fourth period then Newton junior linebacker Joe Busch tripped up Irwin in the backfield on a fourthdown play.

Council Bluffs Lewis Central had 203 points for fifth.

Fifteenth-ranked Linn-Marr was sixth with 184 points and Spencer was seventh with 140 points.

NCMP’s Aquagirls scored 119 points for eighth place.

Sioux City Metro was ninth with 95 points. The Aquagirls are ranked 33rd in the state power rankings.

“Our band kids had to leave half way through the meet, so our goal was to beat one team. We accomplished our goal and swam hard as a team,” Patterson said.

Opening Saturday’s competition, the Aquagirls’ foursome of Lakin Jenkins, Blommers, Emily Miller and Sarah Prendergast claimed a fifthplace finish in the 200 medley relay in a season’s-best 1:58.82. Later in the meet, Jessica Zahn teamed up with Blommers, Jenkins and Prendergast for seventh place in

the 200 freestyle relay race in 1:49.74.

NCMP’s relays placed in the top 10 in all three. It finished the meet with an eighthplace swim in the 400 freestyle relay in 4:10.18 by the team of Zahn, Jaclyn Michener, Willa Colville and Prendergast.

Miller placed ninth in the 100 butterfly race in 1:06.34 while Jenkins was 14th in 1:08.99 and Courtney Dawson finished 22nd in 1:16.11.

In the 100 breaststroke race, Allison Paulius was 16th in 1:20.36 and Erika Van Sickle placed 21st in 1:26.45.

Blommers turned in a 10th-place time in the 200 individual medley race in 2:26.35. Miller was 20th in 2:36.17 and Zahn took 24th in 2:40.38. Jenkins finished 16th in the 100 backstroke in 1:10 followed by Sarah Urias in 22nd in 1:17.71 and Camilla Scholsser in 24th in 1:23.62.

Alex Inskeep was 15th in

100 freestyle race in 1:01.34, Colville finished 19th in 1:02.79 and Michener took 24th in 1:04.25. Schlosser placed 18th in the 50 freestyle in 29.51 seconds followed by Abbie Hill in 20th at 30.01 seconds and Urias in 21st in 30.26 seconds.

Prendergast touched 15th in the 500 freestyle race in 5:48.67, which was a personal best time. Zahn was 18th in 6:04.51, and Emma Thomas was 26th in 6:46.62. in the 200 freestyle, Inskeep placed 19th in 2:16.37 in front of teammate Dawson in 2:16.75 and Van Sickle was 23rd in 2:20.23.

Two plays later, Norvell got to the edge, turned the corner against the Marshalltown defense and raced 56 yards for the touchdown. Newton led 38-7 when Marshalltown’s Brooks broke off a 41-yard TD run with nine minutes left in the game.

The Bobcats attempted an onside kick, but it was covered up by Newton at the Marshalltown 49. Newton used a sixplay drive to score its final TD, which was a 1-yard run

by Roush with six minutes remaining in the game.

“This means a lot for us as we got the 17-point margin

for district play and stayed undefeated,” Miller said. “For me, it was great to win my final homecoming game, and with five wins, it means I’ll finish my career here on another winning Newton team.”

Norvell paced the running game for Newton with 86 yards on 11 carries while Rosenquist had 73 yards on eight carries. Sturtz went 5-of-7 passing for 133 yards.
