Bernie Sanders brings working-class message to Newton Appearance was candidate’s first visit to Jasper County

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Wes Breckenridge speaks to a gathering of supporters at P.J.’s Deli in Newton on Saturday morning. Breckenridge, a longtime lieutenant with the Newton Police Department and a 2010 contender for the District 29 Iowa House seat, announced at the event he’ll challenge incumbent Rep. Dan Kelley for the Democratic nomination for the seat in 2016.

Breckenridge challenging Kelley for Iowa House nomination NPD lieutenant said he wants to build partnerships

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News In 2010, a lieutenant with the Newton Police Department ran against Dan Kelley for the Democratic nomination for an Iowa legislative seat.

In 2016, it appears that matchup is going to happen again.

Lt. Wes Breckenridge is slated to announce his candidacy for the District 29 Iowa House seat held by Rep. Dan Kelley since 2010. Breckenridge was narrowly defeated by Kelley in a special 2010 Democratic primary.

Breckenridge made his announcement at P.J.’s Deli in

Newton on Saturday morning to a gathering of a few dozen supporters. He said serving the public has been a passion of his for the past 22 years throughKelley out his career with NPD. “The main thing I’d like to see is for all leaders to work together,” Breckenridge told the Newton Daily News in an interview Friday afternoon.

“Not only within our parties, but across the aisle, as well. I want to run a positive campaign that’s about the issues and about building relationships. I want to help build partnerships.”

Breckenridge, 47, was recently considered as one of four finalists for the NPD chief position that went to Rob

As the leaves begin to fall, we are once again reminded that the seasons are changing and cold weather will be upon us once again.

That means winter’s companion — the flu — will also be making its rounds through schools, day cares and businesses, sooner that you might think.

“Influenza circulates year-round, but influenza spread typically picks up and remains active between October and May,” said Iowa Department of Health Medical Director Dr. Patricia Quinlisk. “The single best way to protect against the flu is to get vaccinated each year.

Being vaccinated now will ensure protection before the flu season starts in October; it’s not too early to get your shot.”

The seasonal flu vaccine protects against the influenza viruses research indicates will be most common during the upcoming season. Traditional flu vaccines (called “trivalent” vaccines) are made to protect against three flu viruses: influenza A (H1N1) virus, influenza A (H3N2) virus and an influenza B virus.

“Quadrivalent” vaccines, which protect against the same three viruses as the trivalent vaccine and a second B virus are also available.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Bernie Sanders spoke at a well-attended event at Newton High School Center for Performance on Saturday night.

Among other items, the 2016 Democratic presidential hopeful discussed the loss of American industrial jobs, and focused a great deal of his time on health care before taking a handful of questions from the audience.

Norm Van Klompenburg/Special to Daily News Stargazers were treated to a rare astronomical phenomenon Sunday when a total lunar eclipse combined with a so-called supermoon. The moon is shown here in Newton at 9:47 p.m. at about mid-eclipse. It was the first time the events have made a twin appearance since 1982, and they won’t again until 2033.

Burdess; both finalists took turns serving as “acting chief ” over the summer. Breckenridge wouldn’t say if the selection influenced his decision to make another legislative run, but he did say he has a strong yearning to do more in both his law enforcement and elected-office pursuits.

“NPD gave me the training to possibly become chief, and helping keep the citizens of Newton safe is still a passion of mine,” he said. “I will continue to give the department a 110 percent commitment when I’m on duty. This race gives me the opportunity to serve the community in a larger capacity.”

U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders says the concept of redistributing wealth isn’t a novel one.

However, in his onehour talk Saturday night to an enthusiastic, large crowd at the Newton High School’s Center for Performance, the 2016 Democratic presidential hopeful said the movement of money isn’t going where it’s needed.

“Republicans get nervous when you talk about

redistributing wealth,” Sanders said. “They get scared, and start shaking.

But they’ve been redistributing it for years — it’s just been going in the wrong direction.”

Sanders discussed the loss of American industrial jobs, and focused a great deal of his time on health care before taking a handful of questions from the audience during his first visit to Newton since announcing his candidacy. The Democratic frontrunner — in some polls — spoke to a mostly-filled auditorium.

Three speakers, including Craig Armstrong of the Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau, spoke briefly before Sanders took the stage.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News Abby Lockhart, owner and designer at Heartland Home Staging, offers staging to help prepare homes for re-sale to give the a tangible advantage in the highly competitive market.

Heartland Home Staging ready to design for you

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Selling a house can be a stressful process, but Heartland Home Staging is ready to help make your home look its best to sell it in record time.

Owner and designer Abby Lockhart, of Newton, will take items you already have in your house and make it a welcoming space for prospective buyers.

“I’ve always loved design, loved interior design, rearranging furniture and I also sew a lot so I make a lot of my home decor,” Lockhart said. “Home staging was the perfect mesh of all of those things.”

Home staging creates style, appeal and focus in a home Lockhart said. Combined with proper pricing and marketing, home staging can give a home an advantage in any kind of market.

How a home is shown to those interested in buying it is very different from how people live in it everyday. Lockhart will use furniture and accessories that you already have in your home in new ways to redesign the space and recreate a fresh style.

“That’s part of the reasons why staging is so important because everyone has HGTV, everyone is on Pinterest and buyers expect

a lot more when they walk into a house now. They want to be wowed,” Lockhart said.

In a new or vacant home, rental furniture can be used to fill the space and show the potential that otherwise might be unseen by those viewing it.

“A few new accessories can bring color and harmony to the whole house,” Lockhart said.

Lockhart offers several services to maximize the value and style of your home including home staging, color consultation and redesign.

“Consultation is where the staging process begins. Over the course of our in-home consultation, we’ll spend up to three hours going through each room in your home with you. We’ll discuss furniture placement, removal of excess items, organization and de-cluttering,” Lockhart said.

“Any necessary minor repairs will be noted, as well as possible paint color and flooring suggestions.”

Outdoor landscaping and curb-appeal ideas are also available for the house. At the end of the consultations, Lockhart will give a written plan of action and the homeowner can complete it themselves or hire Heartland Home Staging do the work.

Lockhart knows that it can be extremely difficult picking out

paint colors with the vast selection available, which is why she offers color consultation for those struggling to decide.

“It can be overwhelming with all of the paint colors that are out there,” Lockhart said.

Finally, even if you are not moving but want something a little different for your home, Lockhart offers a room redesign to give a fresh set of eyes to a place that has become stale.

“If you have a room and it is not functioning the way you want, it’s not quite looking how you want, I can come in and help you rearrange the things you have to help it flow better and serve your family better,” Lockhart said.

Although she has only been in business for six months, Lockhart said things are going great and she couldn’t be more excited for the future.

“I really love it, I want to build things into a business I can do for the rest of my life. I love living in Newton, it has been a lot of fun so far,” she said.

Benchmark U.S. crude was down 60 cents to $45.08 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent, which is used to price international oils, shed 77 cents to $48.50 a barrel in London.

“Since 2001, we’ve lost 60,000 factories in the U.S. — 60,000,” Sanders said.

Sodders said Breckenridge, if he were to win the nomination and the general election, would have a few options in terms of splitting time between being an NPD lieutenant and legislative work.

Iowa Code allows employees to retain their jobs under a leave of absence while serving in a state elected office.

“My first two years (2009 and 2010), I took a complete leave of absence during the session,” Sodders said. “Since then, I’ve been working as a Marshall County Sheriff ’s deputy about 10 hours a week — mostly on the weekends.”

Flu

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Sept. 28, 2015 | 3A

The standard flu is a respiratory illness caused by viruses and typically lasts two to seven days. It usually comes on suddenly and may cause severe illness or even death, even in healthy individuals.

The “stomach bug,” which causes diarrhea and vomiting, is not caused by the influenza virus but usually by norovirus and is not protected by the flu vaccine.

Skiff Home Care and Jasper County Public Health are holding three flu clinics in the month of October. The first will be from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Oct. 7 at the Colfax Senior Citizen Cen-

Two of the questions asked were about measures taken to undo the impact of the No Child Left Behind Act. Sanders pointed out he was one of the 81 senators (Iowa’s Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst were both among them) to pass the Every Child Achieves Act in the Senate in July. The bill has yet to see the House floor for debate.

ley by only 206 votes. One of the people who will help run Breckenridge’s 2016 campaign is Carol Kramer, and she was one of the people to speak at PJ’s on Saturday.

At Saturday’s announcement, Breckenridge acknowledged the support of his immediate family, along with his mother, Sue Huetter, who was present, as well as P.J.’s owner Phil Muta. He also introduced and thanked some of the people who have helped with his campaign including Kramer, Laura Engle and Nancy Parrott, though he also said many others were helpful.

Others who attended Saturday’s announcement included elected officials, such as State Sen. Chaz Allen (D-Newton) and Newton Mayor Mike Hansen, along with some Jasper County officials, such as Treasurer Doug Bishop, Auditor Den-

ter. The second is from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Oct. 9 at the Newton Community Center with the final clinic from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Oct. 20 at DMACC. The cost for a regular dose is $25 with the high dose at $40. Appointments for flu shots can also be made by calling Skiff at 641-792-5086.

The Newton Clinic also offers walk-in flu vaccinations from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Saturday.

After about 15 minutes of questions, Sanders came down from the stage and signed autographs and allowed dozens of admirers to take photos with him as he slowly made his way toward the north exit.

Some in the audience live in Jasper County, but many traveled from other states to Newton simply to hear Sanders speak. Two of the peo-

“I’m sure Wes and I will have a spirited discussion, just like we’ve had in the previous election, and I’m looking forward to it,” Kelley said in an email. “I’m proud of my progressive record in the Iowa House helping working families and working to make Jasper County a great place to live, work and raise a family. Over the last five years in the House, I have fought for more funding for our local schools, worked to clean up our impaired waterways, and focused on local jobs in Iowa homegrown energy like wind, solar and biofuels.”

Both Kelley and Breckenridge said they’re open to discussing any issue with any District 29 resident.

Helpful tips for flu season • Avoid close contact with people who are sick. When you are sick, keep your distance from others.

• If possible, stay home from work, school and errands when you are sick. This will help prevent spreading your illness.

• Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.

I’m working to make Jasper county the best place in Iowa to work live and raise a family,” Kelley said. “It comes with schools, jobs, as well as by protecting our natural resources.”

Kramer told the crowd at PJ’s that she got to know Breckenridge during the 2010 campaign, which was an abbreviated race that lasted less than two months after the death of longtime assemblyman Paul Bell. Breckenridge continued to serve as a caucus organizer and in aiding the county’s central committee.

“One thing we should remember is that even though he didn’t win, Wes did not leave us,” Kramer said. “He stayed with us, because he believed in the issues of the Democratic party.”

The Dallas Clark effect

By Abigail Pelzer Editor

www.newtondailynews.com | Monday | Sept. 28, 2015

Well, I’m going to have to go to the Blake Shelton concert at Kinnick Stadium, even though I can’t name a single song of his.

You could call that the Dallas Clark effect.

Widely known and loved as a former Iowa Hawkeye standout, pro football star and allaround amazing guy, he’s got me on board for a country music concert. Well played, Dallas.

While I have an eclectic taste for music, including some classic country artists, I’m just not a lover of the country genre. Sure, I’ve dabbled. Everyone did, thanks to Garth Brooks. I also really liked the Dixie Chicks and even attended their concert, clad in my cowgirl boots. (Real boots, used for horseback riding, not simply a prop to convey my

taste in music.)

Back to Dallas Clark. It all started Sept. 19 in Iowa City.

Aside from the 57-yard field goal for the win and the 3-0 record that had eluded us since 2009, there was another piece of notable news — Kinnick Stadium will, for the first time ever, host a music concert in 2016.

Clark delivered the news via a video displayed on the Jumbotron, but didn’t name the artist. I believe this is what’s called “creating a buzz.” Dallas returned to the big screen this past Saturday to announce that Blake Shelton, a big-deal country musician and TV personality on “The Voice,” will headline the concert.

Last week when I found the Iowa City Press-Citizen news article “Mystery concert

coming to Kinnick Stadium in 2016” I immediately posted it to Facebook with a disclaimer.

“I’m going — unless it’s a country artist. Then I’m not going.”

The speculation began instantly. Who would be able to pack a crowd into Kinnick?

Of course my post did lend itself to what kind of music would highlight the event. Everyone figured it would be a country musician.

I happened to be in attendance Saturday as Iowa crushed North Texas. But I missed Dallas Clark’s announcement. I read about it Sunday morning, and I was moved. This isn’t just about music.

Clark has created the Native Fund, a nonprofit that aims to helps Iowans dealing with the aftermath of natural disasters and also assists Iowa youth and

military veterans. The charity will fill the gaps between what’s available from government agencies and others and help Iowans when they need it the most.

Now that’s cool. It also serves as a firm example of what a class act Dallas Clark is. Also involved — Iowa natives Ashton Kutcher and Zach Johnson.

So, despite the razz I received on social media about Blake Shelton and country coming to my beloved stadium, I am intrigued.

Looks like it’s time to dust off my boots, I’ve got a country music concert to hit at Kinnick Stadium.

On making promises to women and girls: It’s time to make them real

By Dinah Musindarwezo Recent headlines have been bleak for women and girls in the developing world: the Islamic State runs a system of sex slaves for its recruits; terrorists in Nigeria kidnap girls to marry their soldiers; women can be shot for going to school or splashed with acid if their in-laws don’t like their dowries. Amid these and other grim reports is the heartening news of an international agreement to do better for women and girls worldwide: the United Nations’ new 2030 Development Agenda.

Agreed upon by UN member States in early August and set for formal UN adoption this month, the 2030 Agenda emerged from more than two years of difficult negotiations on pledges that member countries will make to build upon the Millennium Development Goals, which expire this year. The MDGs guided real investments that made serious progress against poverty, but women’s needs and interests got short shrift. The new framework of 17 goals and 169 targets has the promise of being truly transformative for women and girls around the world.

It addresses gender equality much more robustly than the MDGs did and recognizes achieving it as a goal in itself and not just a means to achieving other development objectives. Crucially, it recognizes the issue as cutting across every economic and social question and as central to ending poverty, due to the gendered dynamics of the problem.

Governments have made lofty commitments to women: to end sex discrimination, gender-based violence, child marriages and female

genital mutilation; to ensure access to sexual and reproductive health care services; to protect women’s and girls’ reproductive rights; to recognize and value the burdens of unpaid care work on women and girls; to expand women’s economic opportunities and ensure their rights to resources; and to ensure equal access to education, eliminating gender disparities in schools.

It is a tall agenda, not to say a visionary dream, for millions of women and girls worldwide. But if these fine words translate into any serious action by the 193 UN member countries, the prioritization of women’s rights will ensure that inequalities are at least addressed, if not ended. That alone would be progress.

In Africa, however, we remain concerned that a lack of political will may undermine if not block the redistribution of wealth, power, resources and opportunities that is key to the process. We worry, for example, that during the 2030 Agenda negotiations, Nigeria, Chad and Cameroon consistently called for removal of language on gender equality, reproductive rights, recognition of human rights and non-discrimination for all.

This and similar foot-dragging elsewhere fly in the face of the January 2014 agreement by African heads of state on the Common African Position, which said “No person — regardless of ethnicity, gender, geography, disability, race or other status — is denied universal human rights and basic economic opportunities.” The heads of state specifically highlighted the critical links among gender equality, women’s rights, women’s empowerment

and Africa’s structural transformation.

We remain hopeful and encouraged by the majority of African governments that saw the need for gender equality and women’s rights and joined other progressive states across the globe to support gender equality in the 2030 Agenda. We are inspired by the strong voices of African women and girls that constantly held their governments accountable and pushed for an ambitious, transformative agenda from the beginning of the consultations and negotiations to their last hour.

Earlier agreements with similar terms promising action for women include the Protocol to the African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights on the Rights of Women in Africa; The Maputo Plan of Action on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights;The International Conference on Population and Development Programme of Action and The Abuja Declaration on HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Other Related Infectious Diseases.

Isn’t it time for governments to live up to these promises? We call on African leaders to integrate them and the related parts of the 2030 Agenda into their domestic political processes and policies and — most importantly — to allocate adequate and sufficient resources (financial, technical and human). Such concrete steps won’t stop extremists and terrorists from continued abuses of women’s human rights, but they will build a stronger foundation for the millions of people who are not extremists and wish only peace and economic security for themselves and their families.

Government wants you to think it helps you at every turn. Every time y o u m a k e a decision, a purchase, governm e n t wants to be t h e r e , By John Stossel looking essential.

But it’s a trick. Most government “help” creates new problems.

Students once went to private banks to get college loans. Banks, since they had their own money on the line, tried to lend only to students who were likely to succeed and then pay them back. Politicians then said, “Banks don’t lend enough, so we’ll guarantee loans or make loans ourselves! After all, college is essential for success.”

Colleges responded by raising tuition at seven times the rate of inflation. It’s a spiral in which taxpayers are forced to give money to colleges — which then charge high tuition, so students graduate deep in debt, and then politicians demand that taxpayers forgive that debt.

President Obama said, sure, just pay back 10 percent or, after 20 years, nothing! Taxpayers will pay the rest, which goes to schools that employ professors who demand more government programs. It’s a spiral that makes government bigger.

The same thing happened with housing.

People once borrowed from private banks, which applied market discipline. If they thought you wanted to borrow more than you would likely repay, banks wouldn’t lend you the money.

But now government — Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the Federal Housing Administration — guarantee nearly every loan. That helped create the last housing bubble. After it burst, and taxpayers were charged nearly $2 billion to bail out the

FHA, the politicians assured the public they would fix this to make sure it never happened again.

But they didn’t. Today, once again, more than 90 percent of home loans are backed by taxpayers, and after briefly raising down-payment requirements, the FHA will again make loans to people who make down payments of as little as 3 percent.

A sensible solution would be to get government out of the home loan business, but even Republicans claim government support for homebuilding is needed. It isn’t. Canada has no Fannie, Freddie or FHA, and no housing bubble. In Canada, lenders and homeowners risk their own money, yet just as many people are able to buy homes.

Finally, Obamacare makes the same arrogant assumption about healthcare: Without government, people can’t afford health care and won’t make good decisions. But healthcare is bureaucratic and costly because of government.

For decades, government encouraged us to pay for health care — even routine procedures — with insurance. But insurance is designed for large, rare expenditures, like your house catching fire or a heart attack.

When everything from head colds to backaches is paid for through insurance, neither the customer nor service provider pays much attention to what anything costs. I’m on Medicare now. I’m amazed that when I go to a doctor, no one even mentions price.

If we paid for everything that way — clothing, groceries, computers — everything would cost much more. No one would know when to shop around, when they were getting a great deal, or when to say: enough.

The more we enshrine the idea that “everyone must have health insurance,” the more big insurance companies can raise prices without worrying about customers fleeing.

Mom back in dating game should be careful to score

DEAR ABBY: My mom recently separated from her husband. They’re in the process of getting divorced, and she is already talking to another man.

She has known him since high school, but they only recently reconnected again.

Last night they finally decided to go out. She says they’re “just friends,” but she got home at 5:30 a.m., wasted.

She woke me 30 minutes before work, then passed out in my bed. I think she’s moving way too fast. She isn’t a teenager anymore, let alone divorced. Am I wrong for being upset with her? Or should I support her? Help! — EMBARRASSED IN TEXAS DEAR EMBARRASSED: I don’t know how old your mother is or how long she has been married to the man she’s divorcing, but if she has been out of the dating scene for any length of time, you need to talk calmly with her and not appear judgmental.

I’m concerned because she may have had unprotected sexual contact with a person she hasn’t seen since high school, and a lot could have happened in his life since then. She should not be intimate with ANYONE unless she knows his sexual history and that he can’t give her an STD. Sometimes older adults forget that the same rules that apply to younger adults apply to them, too. So rather than judge your mother, do discuss this with her without letting it degenerate into an argument. If you approach it this way, she may listen.

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I provide day care for our 2-year-old granddaughter. We have her three days a week and love spending the time with her. However, when her mother — our daughter — comes to pick her up, she doesn’t leave right away. She “hangs out,” eats with us, and still expects us to change the baby or fix her dinner.

Then, on the weekends, our daughter

will come over with her husband, and we are once again on day care duty.

Our daughter seems to think that when she is at our house, we are the baby sitters and she can just plop herself on the couch and watch TV. How do we tactfully tell her she needs to take responsibility for her daughter when they are at our house? — TIRED GRANDPARENTS DEAR TIRED GRANDPARENTS: How about just saying what you have to say calmly, in plain English? That’s what you and your husband should have done the first time you felt your daughter was taking advantage of you, which she is. Do not be confrontational, just firm when you tell her you’re off baby-sitting duty, and it’s her job now.

DEAR ABBY: My second husband likes to touch me often. He massages my back, rubs my legs and runs his hands through my hair. This is new for me. My first husband never acted this way.

I have been married to Husband No. 2 for 15 months. My question is, is this normal? — MANHANDLED DEAR MANHANDLED: Yes, it’s normal. Many women would consider you lucky to have a spouse who is so affectionate. Different strokes for different folks. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Couple marries in hospital chapel after bride breaks leg BETTENDORF — An Iowa couple got married in a hospital chapel this weekend after the bride broke her leg on their wedding day. Melissa Eisenbacher slipped on gravel after getting her hair done Saturday morning and fell. Doctors determined that Eisenbacher had separated her ankle and fractured her tibia, but she wasn’t about to let the surgery and a wheelchair stop the wedding. The groom, Rex Grebner, says he and his wife wanted to get married Saturday, so their wedding party joined them in the hospital chapel.

DES MOINES — Demolition crews have drilled hundreds of holes in the old Riverfront YMCA in Des Moines, which they plan to pack with about 100 pounds of dynamite to bring the building down next month. The eight-story downtown building implosion is set to happen at daybreak on Oct. 4. The 1957 building is expected to crumble onto itself and into the building’s excavated basement. Spectators should be able to watch from the east bank of the Des Moines River.

Rail project delayed on weak crude oil demand SIOUX CITY— The weak demand for crude oil and ethanol has delayed construction of a proposed $30.9 million rail car maintenance facility in northwest Iowa. Local officials believe the TrinityRail project will still be built in Sioux City once shipments rebound. The 150,000-square-foot facility was supposed to create 250 new jobs including 160 that would pay $16.63 an hour.

10-year-old sex assault case

DAVENPORT — A Davenport man already serving prison time for a 2014 felony conviction has been charged in a 2005 sexual assault. Luther Ronald Moore Jr., 57, made his first appearance in Scott County Court on the new charges via video on Thursday. He is charged with first-degree kidnapping and second-degree sexual abuse. Police say Moore was charged after a DNA sample he was required to submit as an inmate matched DNA collected at the scene of the 2005 attack.

Deputies investigate mailbox vandalism VINTON — Benton County authorities are investigating the vandalism of nearly 50 mailboxes.

South Dakota regulators holding hearing on pipeline project PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — South Dakota regulators are deciding whether to approve construction of a proposed $3.8 billion pipeline that would move oil from western North Dakota’s Bakken oil patch.

South Dakota’s Public Utilities Commission on Tuesday is beginning a two-week hearing on whether to permit the Dakota Access Pipeline, which would move at least 450,000

barrels of North Dakota crude daily through South Dakota and Iowa to an existing pipeline in Patoka, Ill., where shippers can access Midwest and Gulf Coast markets.

About 270 miles of the 1,130-mile pipeline would be in eastern South Dakota, where some landowners have environmental concerns.

Opponents have placed seven billboards and signs throughout Lincoln and Min-

nehaha counties at locations under which the pipeline would run, in hopes of making the public aware of the pipeline’s proximity to population centers and eastern South Dakota’s productive cropland.

A march against the pipeline took place Saturday at a park in Sioux Falls.

“We really want people to be aware of what’s going to happen with this pipeline hearing,” said Peggy Hooge-

straat, a landowner and vocal opponent of the project.

Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners has said the project will create up to 12,000 temporary jobs for welders, mechanics, pipefitters and heavy equipment operators, pumping hundreds of millions of dollars into local economies. Construction companies in South Dakota have filed letters of support with the state.

The Public Utilities Commission will make a final decision on permitting by mid-December, Chairman Chris Nelson said.

The project also needs approval from regulators in North Dakota, Iowa and Illinois. Energy Transfer Partners already has the shipping commitments it needs from oil producers and hopes to have the pipeline running late next year.

Treasurer blocks financing plan for Iowa police radio system The Associated Press IOWA CITY — The state treasurer has blocked a proposal by Gov. Terry Branstad’s administration to finance a new $68 million communications system for Iowa emergency responders through a lease-purchase agreement with vendor MoFitzgerald torola Solutions.

Treasurer Michael Fitzgerald told The Associated Press that he has refused to approve the deal because it adds roughly $9 million in interest payments to the price during the 13-year term. He noted the state’s lease payments would be tax-free income for Motorola, which was chosen last year to build the system following a controversial bidding process.

“It would be a nice financial deal to them, but to the state it’s going to cost us $9 million to $10 million,” Fitzgerald said.

“We have real problems with this lease-purchase that they are trying to run through.”

Fitzgerald, a Democrat whose office manages state investments, said that in order to avoid the interest payments, Branstad and lawmakers could agree next year to pay for the project upfront by tapping the state’s surplus. Lawmakers discussed but rejected that approach earlier this year.

Alternatively, Fitzgerald said the state could save $2 million by borrowing money at a lower-interest rate and paying it back through a revenue bond.

The proposed deal with Motorola calls for a 3.6 percent interest rate, compared to 2.8 percent the state could get elsewhere, a Fitzgerald aide said.

Fitzgerald said he was investigating other options “to correct this financing mistake,” and believes Motorola would be open to negotiating a different arrangement to get the project built.

Iowa first responders say a radio system that will let them communicate during emergencies — across agencies, municipalities and states — is long overdue and critically necessary.

They say their responses during incidents such as manhunts and disasters have been hampered by poor communication.

The system will be funded through surcharges paid on phone bills for 911 services.

The Department of Administrative Services last year picked Motorola to build the system — which will initially be used by state police and corrections agencies — and provide necessary equipment.

Rival bidders, including Marshalltown, Iowa-based Racom Corp., have complained that Motorola appeared to have the inside track and argued the process was flawed. But Racom recently dropped a legal appeal challenging the award to Motorola. Branstad has noted that Motorola was the lowest bidder after a process that included input from an expert outside consultant.

Department of Administrative Services spokesman Caleb Hunter said the consultant recommended lease-purchase financing — often touted as an alternative to taking on public debt — to finance the project.

But he said the agency is aware of Fitzgerald’s objections and is working across the executive branch to consider alternative ways to pay for the project.

Under the lease-purchase proposal, Motorola would build

and own the towers and buildings but they would revert to state ownership after the final lease payment is made. Iowa would pay about $4 million per year.

Motorola proposed the arrangement in its winning proposal, and Branstad in July approved the first $4 million annual payment to get the project started. Last month, the administration signed a customer service agreement with Motorola outlining the terms of work and envisioning lease-purchase financing.

Iowa law requires state agencies to get approval through Fitzgerald’s office and a committee of state lawmakers before entering into lease-purchase agreements. Fitzgerald and Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal, D-Council Bluffs, said they were not consulted before the customer service agreement was signed, and both have since objected to the proposed lease-purchase proposal.

“I have concerns about it whenever the executive branch ignores state law, and even more so when that ignoring of state law ends up costing millions of dollars more. I think it’s fairly absurd,” Gronstal said.

Larry & Diana Ambroson Adding Years To Life A recent study revealed that adults older than 75 who were both socially and physically active lived an average of 5.4 years longer than their less-active, less-social peers. Even at 85 years of age, a social and physically active lifestyle was linked with an extra 4 years of life. Researchers say the most important factor accounting for increased life expectancy in participants was physical activity, which on its own was associated with an extra 2 years or more of life.

This study suggests that it’s never too late to get more active.

Drinking water systems imperiled by failing infrastructure The Associated Press

AP Photo This photo shows the Filter Plant of the Des Moines Water Works in Des Moines. After decades of keeping water rates low and deferring maintenance, scores of drinking water systems built around the time of World War II and earlier are in need of replacement.

At stake is the continued availability of clean, cheap drinking water — a public health achievement that has fueled the nation’s growth for generations and that most Americans take for granted.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency projects that it will cost $384 billion over 20 years to maintain the nation’s existing drinking water systems, which will require tens of thousands of miles of replacement pipe and thousands of new or renovated plants. The American Water Works Association, an industry-backed group, puts the price even higher — $1 trillion to replace all outdated pipes and meet growth over the next quarter-century.

“The future is getting a little dark for something as basic and fundamental as water,” said Adam Krantz of the Water Infrastructure Network, a lobbying group that is fighting cuts to key federal water programs.

A HIDDEN CRISIS, A SHORTAGE OF MONEY Unlike pothole-scarred roads or crumbling bridges, decaying water systems often go unnoticed until they fail.

“Buried infrastructure is out of sight, out of mind.

We take it for granted. We turn on the faucet and we get good, clean, quality water,” said Will Williams, head of asset management for the engineering firm Black & Veatch and an expert on water infrastructure.

When failures happen, help can be hard to come by.

Without big changes in national policy, local governments and their ratepayers will be largely on their own in paying for the upgrades. The amount of federal money available for drinking-water improvements is just a drop in the bucket.

Cities and utilities have

historically been reluctant to raise rates sharply or to incur high levels of debt to pay for them, although both are increasingly happening.

“That’s the key that Americans have to understand: If they want this system, they are going to have to be willing to finance it, to pay for it,” said Greg DiLoreto, past president of the American Society of Civil Engineers.

The group’s 2013 report warned of a looming funding crisis and a future with more equipment failures that will disrupt water service, transportation and commerce.

“Not meeting the investment needs of the next 20 years risks reversing the environmental, public health and economic gains of the last three decades,” the report said.

The largest source of federal assistance is the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, which goes

largely to small towns and mid-sized cities. Some communities that need the most help shun the program because it offers mostly loans, not grants. A new program authorized

by Congress to attract private investment in larger, big-city projects has yet to get off the ground.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PIPES More than a million miles of underground pipes distribute water to American homes, and maintaining that network remains the largest and costliest long-term concern.

Some pipes date back to the 1800s. As they get older, they fail in different ways. Some split and rupture, with an estimated 700 main breaks occurring around the U.S. every day. The most devastating failures damage roadways, close businesses and shut off service for hours or days. If pipes are particu-

DES MOINES — Deep inside a complex of huge tanks, drinking water for Iowa’s capital city is constantly cleansed of the harmful nitrates that come from the state’s famously rich farmland.

Without Des Moines Water Works, the region of 500,000 people that it serves wouldn’t have a thriving economy that has become a magnet for tech companies such as Microsoft. But after decades of ceaseless service, the utility is confronting an array of problems: Water mains are cracking open hundreds of times every year. Rivers that provide its water are more polluted than ever.

And the city doesn’t know how it will afford a $150 million treatment plant at a time when revenues are down and maintenance costs are up?

“We’re reaching the end of the life cycle of some of the most critical assets we’ve got,” said Bill Stowe, CEO and general manager of the utility, which has a downtown treatment plant that was built in the 1940s, long before nitrates, which can harm infants, became a pressing concern. He said the industry is getting “all kinds of these warning alarms that we haven’t heard before.”

A similar crisis is unfolding in cities across the country. After decades of keeping water rates low and deferring maintenance, scores of drinking water systems built around the time of World War II and earlier are in need of replacement. The costs to rebuild will be staggering. The costs of inaction are already piling up. The challenge is deepened by drought conditions in some regions and government mandates to remove more contaminants.

larly bad, they can contaminate water.

Utilities have long struggled to predict when to replace pipes, which have vastly different life cycles depending on the materials they are made from and where they are buried.

Some might last 30 years, others more than 100.

Sophisticated computer programs are helping some water systems prioritize the order in which pipes should be replaced, but tight budgets often mean the fixes don’t come until it’s too late.

Replacing a single mile of water main can cost from $500,000 to more than $1 million, but doing so is far more disruptive to customers if it fails first. Experts say a peak of up to 20,000 miles of pipe will need to be replaced annually beginning around 2035, up from roughly 5,000 miles currently. Des Moines Water Works alone has 1,600 miles of distribution pipes.

The Philadelphia water department, the nation’s oldest, is already spending tens of millions of dollars more per year to replace its worst pipes.

Yet the city saw more than 900 water main breaks in the most recent budget year. In June, two massive breaks forced evacuations and damaged cars, homes and businesses.

New Orleans once boasted about not raising water rates for two decades. But in 2012, the city approved 10 percent increases on water bills for eight straight years as part of a plan to fix a crumbling system. The average household’s monthly water-and-sewer bill will climb to $115 by 2020.

The extra money will help replace deteriorating mains damaged by Hurricane Katrina.

Cardinals lose, plan to build on 2nd-half success

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News It is true Newton High’s Cardinal football team is 0-5. It is true the Cardinals lost 50-34 Friday against visiting Gilbert’s Tigers to fall to 0-3 in Class 3A District 6 play.

Newton’s Cardinals are giving up on the season — not true, according to three Cardinal senior captains and Cardinal head coach Ed Ergenbright.

Facing a 43-7 halftime deficit against the Tigers, the Cardinals came out at H.A. Lynn Stadium and won the second half. The Cardinals controlled the final two quarters of play, outscoring Gilbert 27-7.

True, it wasn’t enough to catch the Tigers.

“The second half was good for us,” Newton senior Bryce Tish said. “It was a glimpse of what we can be as a team and what we can do. It was really good for us to build on.”

Tish, Duncan Lee and Joseph Banfield had a message for everyone following the loss. “We’re not giving up.”

The Cardinals could have given up in the second half. The first half had the Tigers gashing the Newton defense for six touchdown and five were on runs of more than 40 yards.

Junior running back Cody Dvorak had scoring runs of 44, 45 and 58 yards in the first half. Zachary Becker scored twice and quarterback Steven Lawrence raced 63 yards to paydirt.

“At halftime, we talked about doing things right and not quitting, not giving up,” Ergenbright said. “They were frustrated because it wasn’t Gilbert driving the ball against us. It was big plays to score.

“We’re in a tough situation trying to teach kids new positions every week because of injuries. We just have to keep scratching to find a defense which fits the personnel we have to work with.”

Newton scored with 26.4 seconds left in the first half, driving 73 yards on eight plays. The final 34 yards came on a run by senior running back Dalton Nevels.

Gilbert responded with a one-play drive, a 58-yard touchdown run by Dvorak.

“We have to flip the switch,” Lee said. “In the first half, we weren’t playing hard enough, myself included. We have to have the mentality to go out there and shut people down like we did in the second half and run the ball right down their throats.”

CARDINALS | 3B

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Turning the corner is Newton High’s senior running back Dalton Nevels on a pass play during Friday night’s home game against Gilbert. Nevels rushed for 114 yards and scored three touchdowns in the Cardinals’ 50-24 loss to the visiting Tigers in Class 3A District 6 play.

NCMP takes third in Tiger Tanker

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Samantha Hedrick, NCMP senior, won the 100-yard butterfly race at Saturday’s West Des Moines Valley High Tiger Tanker Invitational in West Des Moines. Hedrick helped lead the NCMP Aquagirls to a third-place finish as a team in the swim meet.

WEST DES MOINES — Samantha Hedrick flew through the water on winning pace Saturday, taking the first-place medal in the 100-yard butterfly race at the West Des Moines Valley High Tiger Tanker Invitational. Hedrick’s winning time was 58.09 seconds.

Mustangs break halftime tie with big second half against Raiders

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Troy Hyde/Daily News Prairie City-Monroe quarterback Logan Gilman (7) celebrates a first-half touchdown with junior Noah Clark (46) during the Mustangs’ 49-27 win over CMB in Monroe on Friday. Gilman threw three touchdown passes to Clark and rushed for another one in the Class 2A District 7 victory.

MONROE — Prairie City-Monroe quarterback Logan Gilman knew Collins-Maxwell/Baxter was ranked and undefeated. But don’t tell him the Mustangs’ 49-27 win over the Raiders on Friday was an upset.

Gilman and the rest of the PCM football team expected to win.

Gilman completed 16of-20 passes for 265 yards, and he scored four total touchdowns in the Mustangs’ triumph during Class 2A District 7 play.

It was 21-all at halftime, but PCM took advantage of a missed fourth and four play by CMB early in the third quarter and outscored the Raiders 28-6 in the final two periods.

“It just feels nice to be able to knock them off. But I don’t think this was an upset,” Gilman said. “We watched film, we knew we were the better team. And we knew we could beat them. It just feels great.”

PCM’s defense came up with a stop on fourth and

four from CMB’s own 25yard line and then the offense took advantage of the short field as Gilman found Noah Clark for a 30-yard touchdown.

That touchdown put the Mustangs up 28-21 and set the tone for what ended up being a lopsided second half.

Gilman added a 13-yard touchdown run and a 42yard touchdown pass to Clark later in the game to help PCM pull away from the Raiders, who suffered their first regular-season defeat since 2013.

“It’s a huge win,” PCM coach Greg Bonnett said.

“It’s a rivalry game, they are a ranked team, and it’s a home game. I knew it was going to be a lot of fun. It was 21-21 at halftime but we were still having fun.”

CMB (4-1, 2-1) got bad news at about 3 p.m. Friday when four starters were ruled unavailable for the game after receiving suspensions. CMB coach Rob Luther said suspensions to Blake Coughenour, Tucker Maxwell, John Newton and Bailey Holgate were for disciplinary reasons.

The suspensions affected both sides of the ball and forced the Raider coaching staff to put together an entirely different game-plan in a three-hour span before kickoff.

“We have a lot of kids that can do a lot of things, but we didn’t have the week of preparation to figure all of that out,” Luther said.

PCM (4-1, 3-0) went right down the field on its opening possession, traveling 68 yards in seven plays.

Logan Littrell rushed five times for 32 yards and Gilman hit Reid Jenkins twice for 45 yards. Littrell capped the scoring drive with a 3-yard touchdown run.

CMB regained some momentum when it tied the game on its first drive and then took the lead following a Hunter McWhirter interception of Gilman.

CMB’s first touchdown drive featured three-first down pass plays from Hunter McWhirter to Brady Stover, a 14-yard firstdown run by Stover and an 11-yard scoring scamper by McWhirter.

Air attack powers Hawks to district win

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News SULLY — Lynnville-Sully 2015 Homecoming king and queen, Caleb Jansen and Naomi Schinkel, and the rest of the Hawk football fans watched Friday night as the Hawks went to the air in their 42-14 Class A District 7 victory over Iowa Valley’s Tigers.

“We found a new way to win — a passing game,” Hawk head coach Mike Parkinson said. “We were 21-of -26 for more than 300 yards. We even had three interceptions, so we were catching everything that went into the air.”

Junior quarterback Tyler Van Zante was 20-of-25 for 303 yards to lead the air attack for the Hawks. Van Zante threw a touchdown pass to Noah Engle and ran for a score in the second quarter.

Lynnville-Sully pushed out to a 14-0 lead by the end of the first quarter. Evan Squires scored on a 2-yard run and Sage Ehresman had a 4-yard touchdown run. Engle kicked the extra points.

Iowa Valley’s Bennett Goettsch broke loose for a 42-yard touchdown run and tacked on the two-point conversion run at the 11:24 mark

of the second quarter.

The Hawks answered on back-to-back drives with Van Zante hitting Engle for a 37-yard scoring strike and running in from four yards out two minutes later.

The Hawks led 2814 at halftime after Goettsch connected with quarterback Gavin Collingwood on a 42yard scoring pass play right before the break.

“Iowa Valley played hard, but our kids responded so well to what we needed to do after losing to Colfax-Mingo two weeks ago,” Parkinson said. “We’ve relied

on a strong running game with a good senior running back in Sage Ehresman and our offensive line opening the holes up front. We’ve been working on our passing game, and it was evident (Friday night).”

Ehresman was a bit dinged up, Parkinson said, and the senior didn’t play much in the second half. He finished with 31 yards on five carries. The Hawks only had 100 yards on the ground. Sage Zylstra carried the ball 10 times for 28 yards.

Lynnville-Sully had all the second-half scor-

ing — a touchdown in each of the final two quarters. Kobe Fisk, who had four catches for 135 yards, scored two 1-yard runs in the second half for the Hawks. Engle kicked the extra points.

Caden Dunsbergen made eight catches for 78 yards and Engle caught five passes for 74 yards. Ryan Hofer had two receptions for 16 yards and Tyson Vander Linden caught one for 10 yards. Elijah Collins completed one pass for 10 yards.

L y n n v i l l e - S u l l y ’s defense had four take-

aways. Engle, Fisk and Carson Dunsbergen each had an interceptions and Jesse Van Wyk recovered a Tiger fumble. Dylan Roozeboom led the defensive charge with eight tackles followed by Jack Hardin with six tackles and Caden Dunsbergen with five tackles.

Goettsch rushed for 111 yards on 16 carries for the Tigers, and was 1-of-1 passing. Collingwood went 4-of-12 passing for 13 yards and threw three interceptions.

“We will build on this as we prepare for a really tough game this next week. We have great senior leadership on our team and we’re moving forward each week,” Parkinson said.

The Hawks are 2-1 in Class A District 7 play and 3-2 overall.

They travel to Brooklyn to take on Class A topranked BGM Friday.

Tigerhawks cruise to fourth straight win

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News NEW SHARON — The Colfax-Mingo offense has found its groove.

After scoring only seven points in a Week 1 loss to Class A No. 5 P leasantville, the Tigerhawk football team has been unstoppable in piling up four straight wins.

Summy On Friday, Jared Myers threw for 381 yards and six touchdowns; Blake Summy had 187 receiving yards and three scores; and Jacob Lietz and Gabe Simpson each scored twice during the Tigerhawks’ 49-13 victory

over North Mahaska in Class A District 7 play.

Myers hit Summy on touchdown passes of 51 and 46 yards in the first half to give Colfax-Mingo (4-1 overall, 3-0 in district play) a 35-6 lead at halftime. Summy also caught a 56-yarder from Myers in the third quarter to give the Tigerhawks a 42-13 lead.

Lietz got the Tigerhawks on the board with a 2-yard touchdown run in the first quarter and then his 4-yard touchdown reception from Myers gave the visitors a 27-6 lead in the second quarter.

Simpson’s first touchdown reception covered 34 yards in the first quarter and then he capped the scoring with a 6-yard touchdown catch in the final frame.

Lietz finished with seven catches and now has a Class

A-high 37 receptions on the season. He also is fifth in receiving yards with 377.

Summy ranks second in Class A with 421 yards, is tied for third with six receiving touchdowns and fourth in receptions with 22.

Summy, Lietz and Colin Lourens all rank in the top 10 in Class A in receiving yards.

Lourens finished the win over North Mahaska (1-4, 0-3) with four catches for 59 yards.

Simpson had three catches for 43 yards.

Lietz led the defense with 11 tackles, and he now has 53 on the season, which ranks third in Class A. Jacob Buehrer had 9.5 tackles and Lane Dunblazer finished with 7.5.

The Tigerhawks have averaged 44 points per game during their current four-game

win streak. They’ll host Montezuma at 7 p.m. Friday in Colfax. The Braves, the reigning District 7 champions, shut out Belle Plaine, 28-0, this past Friday and are 4-1 on the season.

Hawkeyes move to 4-0 after rout of North Texas IOWA CITY (AP) — Iowa has found itself a running back — just in time for Big Ten play.

But Jordan Canzeri is far from the only playmaker on a team that suddenly looks like a contender for the Big Ten West title.

Canzeri ran for 115 yards and tied a school record with four touchdowns as Iowa beat North Texas, 62-16, Saturday for its fourth straight win.

C.J. Beathard completed his first 15 passes and had 278 yards for the Hawkeyes (4-0), who open league play next week at Wisconsin after topping 60 points for the first time since 2002.

Tevaun Smith added 115 yards receiving and Desmond King had 180 yards on punt and kick returns for the surging Hawkeyes, who enter Big Ten play unblemished for the first time since 2009.

“We’ve got a lot of guys making positive contributions.

For us to be a good football team, that’s typically how it has to go,” said Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz, who matched former Badgers coach Barry Alvarez for victories by a Big

Josey Jewell and Bo Bower had late interception returns for the Hawkeyes, who also scored 62 points in a rout of

Northwestern in 2002.

Canzeri began the year as a change-of-pace back but already has eight touchdowns this season.

“Four and 0 is exactly where we wanted to be,” Canzeri said. “We can’t let that get to us ... we’ll be ready for Big Ten play.”

“As senior leaders, we’re trying to make it feel like game-speed and intensity during our practices,” Banfield said. “We’re not far off.

We’ve been in every game we’ve played this season.”

“We have to play together and flip the switch,” Tish added.

Newton takes on Ballard, which is 2-3 overall and 1-1 in district play, Friday at H.A. Lynn Stadium.

Cardinals Continued from Page 1B The Cardinals controlled the final two quarters of play.

Ergenbright said he was proud of his players as they came out ready to play in the second half.

Newton used the ground game power by Banfield and Nevels. Banfield finished with 231 yards on 33 carries and scored two touchdowns in the third quarter. Nevels had 114 yards on 17 carries and three touchdowns, two in the fourth quarter.

Newton took the second-half kickoff, drove 61 yards by converting to thirddown plays — a 17-yard run

by Lee and a 2-yard run by Banfield — and consuming more than six minutes. On fourth-and-four, Banfield used a couple of blockers on the edge to go 17 yards to the end zone. Gulling’s kick made it 43-14.

Gilbert set up shop at its own 48-yard line on its first possession of the second half.

The Tigers fumbled on the first play and Newton’s Caleb Kite recovered the football.

On runs by quarterback Garrett Sturtz, Nevels and Banfield pushed the football down the field in seven plays.

Banfield scored on a 13-yard run with 2:25 left in the third quarter. It was 42-20 after a two-point pass failed.

The Tigers put the ball in the hands of Dvorak, who rushed for 205 yards on nine carries in the game, moved the Tigers to the Cardinal 1-yard line. It was fourth-and-goal at the one when Lee caught Dvorak in the backfield for a 3-yard loss as the Newton defense made a goal-line stand.

Newton began its next touchdown drive at its own 4-yard line. The Cardinals

NCMP Continued from Page 1B seconds away, so there was not a lot of immediate competition,” NCMP head coach Sarah Patterson said. “She has been battling some nagging injuries, so we need to get her healthy for training and swimming the rest of the season.”

Hedrick was the lone event winner for the NCMP Aquagirls, but they reached their team goal of finishing in the top three teams at the Tiger Tanker. NCMP took third with 290 points behind Waukee at 399 and Valley at 356.

Dowling Catholic was fourth with 279 points followed by Lewis Central with 202, Atlantic at 200, LinnMarr with 160, Spencer with 156 and Sioux City Metro with 109 points.

Diving opened the action Saturday morning. NCMP’s Morgann Eide posted her best 11-dive score of 367.6 points to claim the fourth-place medal. The top six finishers in each event were awarded medals.

Alivia Hoffman finished 11th with a score of 284.3.

“Morgann took fourth in a stacked field and Alivia dove really well,” Patterson said.

“Each girl contributed to our overall team score and helped us place in the top three. All of our relays did well.”

NCMP relays opened and closed the meet with thirdplace medal performances. In the first swimming event, the Aquagirl 200 medley relay team of Sydney Jenkins, Lindsey Blommers, Hedrick and Alexis Stout posted this season’s fastest time of 1 minute, 55.68 seconds.

The final event is the 400 freestyle relay. NCMP’s Madeline Webb, Elizabeth Myers, Jenkins and Hedrick combined for a season’s fastest time with a 3:46.75.

“Madeline led off with a strong 57.70 split putting us in second place and Elizabeth clocked a 58.26,” Patterson

marched 96 yards in 11 plays on the ground. They had the ball at the Tiger 22-yard line.

There were three holding penalties on Newton and a personal foul penalty against Gilbert as the Cardinals attempted to chew up the last 22 yards.

On first-and-goal at the 17, Banfield ran for nine yards, and then the pitch went to Nevels who scored on an 8-yard dash to the end zone. Gulling kicked the extra point to make it 43-27.

Facing a third-and-11 situation, Gilbert’s Lawrence got through traffic for a 30-yard gain. Lawrence scrambled on another third-down play for 26 yards and a touchdown with 2:25 remaining in the game.

said. “Sydney swam a season-best split of 57.62, even though she felt like she was going to throw up. Samantha anchored with a 53.17 — the fastest split of everyone in the meet.”

Patterson said she thought the NCMP swimmers were tired going into Saturday’s meet from a meet at Dowling earlier in the week and the NHS homecoming activities.

She said the 400 freestyle relay was an event where she saw the Aquagirls battle back from a sort of mediocre meet.

“They did not want to go out like lambs, they wanted to go out like lions. I couldn’t be prouder of their tenaciousness all the way until the end — especially since homecoming was on their minds for the evening,” Patterson said.

“This team has been a joy to coach. I also want to give a shout out to coach Chris Forsyth and coach/manager Austin Bunker for making the season fun.”

In between the two relays, NCMP had four individual medal winners along with Hedrick. Hannah Rhoads finished third in the 200 individual medley; Jenkins was fifth in the 100 backstroke; while Lindsey Blommers and Rhoads were fifth and sixth in the 100 breaststroke.

“The breaststroke continues to be an event where we rack up the points. Sierra Griffith was 11th in the event, so that trio scored 33 points for the team,” Patterson said. “Hannah, who is a three-sport athlete, shows grit in making the 200 IM her special event. It is a tough swim.”

In the 100 backstroke, Sarah Prendergast and Lakin Jenkins had personal-best times in the event.

NCMP hosts Atlantic and Williamsburg Thursday at Newton’s YMCA. Competition begins at 5:30 p.m.

seconds of the remaining time to drive for one more score.

Nevels capped the drive with a 4-yard touchdown run.

“Offensively, our kids really did some nice things in the second half. With two new starting guards — Landon Hansen and Trenton Brady — our offensive line opened holes and controlled the line of scrimmage,” Ergenbright said. “Landon and Trenton did a good job. This was Andrew Weiland’s second game at tackle.”

Sturtz finished 5-of-11 passing with 61 yards and one interception. The interception was made by Ryan Blum, who returned the football to the Newton 11, setting up Gilbert’s fourth touchdown of the first half.

Tish made two catches for

30 yards for the Cardinals.

Banfield had two catches for 19 yards and Nevels had one reception for 12 yards.

Nevels led the defensive with six solo tackles and an interception. Austin James made four solo stops and two assisted while Lee had three solo tackles and two assisted tackles. Kite had three unassisted tackles and a fumble recovery.

“Everybody has to figure out the intensity level we really need to have to play in a varsity game,” Banfield said.

“We need to play at 100 percent all four quarters. In the second half, we looked like a football team that couldn’t be beat.”

Lee said with so many new guys playing their first year of varsity and with the injuries,

Gilbert defeats Newton freshmen

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High’s freshman came up short at home Friday night. After a 6-0 lead, the Cardinals fell behind and couldn’t catch up to Gilbert, losing 27-14.

Thomas Cox scored the first touchdown of the game for Newton. Gilbert went up 7-6 in the second quarter, and used an interception to score again before halftime.

The Tigers built on their 13-6 halftime lead when they recovered a fumbled snap by the Cardinals. Gilbert converted the turnover into a third-quarter touchdown.

Gilbert had a high snap on a punt attempt in the fourth quarter. Newton recovered the football, which led to a 5-yard touchdown run by Coltin Whitten.

Whitten tacked on the twopoint conversion to make it

20-14.

The Cardinals weren’t able to make a stop on defense. Gilbert scored with a minute left in the game for the final margin.

No individual statistics for the Newton freshmen were available at press time.

The freshmen play at home Friday against Ballard.

Cardinal volleyball claims fifth at Nevada Invite

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News NEVADA — In a tough Nevada Invitational volleyball tournament Saturday, Newton High’s Cardinals played some of their best volleyball this season, according to NHS assistant coach Taylor Peska.

The Cardinals went 3-2 and finished fifth out of 12 teams in the tournament.

Their two losses came against Class 3A No. 3 Nevada and Class 4A No. 10 Carroll.

“The girls played hard this tournament. We started out against Nevada, which is a tough team and very strong at the net, in pool play,” Peska said. “In consolation, the Carroll loss was tough because we had some great moments but lost the first set. The second set was a fight for each point.”

In Pool A, the Cardinals dropped a 21-7, 21-12 decision to Nevada. They bounced back to defeated West Marshall 2113, 21-10 and Carlisle 21-16, 21-17 to end pool action.

“The girls’ passes improved, and their overall play as a team was much better following the Nevada match,” Peska said.

Newton went into consolation bracket play and lost to Carroll 25-20, 27-25. Again, the Cardinals regrouped and recorded a 25-21, 25-19 win over Ballard to end the tournament.

“The girls were communicating and playing as a team.

It was a fun match to watch,” Peska said of the Ballard match. “We are ready for our tournament at Roland-Story Monday.”

Ahn led the net attack for the Cardinals in Saturday’s Nevada Invitational at Nevada. Newton went 3-2 in tournament play, taking fifth.

Newton was 140-for-157 serving in its five matches in the tournament.

Against Nevada, Emily Fitzgerald and Allison Ergenbright each had two kills while Megan Pressgrove and Kaytlin Ahn had one kill apiece. Pressgrove and Taylor Shipley each had three set assists.

Rivalry: Gilman scores four total touchdowns in PCM’s district win over CMB Continued from Page 1B After the McWhirter interception, the Raiders went 70 yards in nine plays. CMB was helped by 30 PCM penalty yards and McWhirter scored again from 1-yard out.

PCM tied the score following Clark’s first touchdown catch — a 15-yard pass from Gilman. Then the Mustangs recovered a CMB fumble and scored two plays later following a 10-yard run by Littrell and a 6-yard scoring run by Littrell.

Reid Jenkins picked off McWhirter during CMB’s next possession, but Hunter Gunderson got the ball back to CMB when he stepped in front of a PCM receiver to pick off Gilman for a second time.

CMB turned that turnover into a game-tying touchdown. The Raiders went 42 yards in five plays. Stover began the drive with an 18-yard run and ended it with an 11-yard touchdown run.

Stover finished with 60 rushing yards and 129 receiving yards on nine catches, but he left the game in the third quarter with an injured shoulder and is expected to miss at least two weeks, according to Stover’s Facebook page.

The Raiders started with the ball in the second half, but PCM gained momentum right away when the Mustang defense stopped CMB on fourth down from the Raiders’ 25-yard line.

Gilman hit Clark for a 30-yard score to put PCM up 28-21, and the Raiders never recovered.

“We knew we were going to have to outscore them. It felt like we were going to struggle to get stops, and I didn’t want to give them any extra momentum,” Luther said of the decision to go for it on fourth down. “I am not sure I would do it again. I always have confidence in our offense though. It was fourth and four, and we need to go get it.”

Gilman hit Jenkins for 19 yards and Luke Greiner for 25 yards on the Mustangs’ next possession and PCM went up by two scores when Gilman sprinted 13 yards to paydirt.

“It’s been a long week. We have been working hard in practice. We knew we needed this game, and I wanted this game more than anything,” Gilman said. “There is always a lot of talk back and forth between the players. There is a lot on the line, bragging rights and stuff. We just don’t like each other.”

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter senior wide receiver Hunter Gunderson (28) fights for extra yardage against Prairie City-Monroe’s Austin Sneller (11) during a Class 2A District 7 contest Friday in Monroe. Gunderson finished with 33 yards on six catches and had five tackles and an interception on defense. Sneller recorded nine solo tackles for PCM, which won the game 49-27.

McWhirter brought the Raiders within eight when he dove into the end zone from 1-yard out on CMB’s next possession. That scoring run came after big passing gains of 24 and 36 yards by Stover. The 36-yard catch was the one Stover was injured on.

PCM answered the Raiders’ scoring drive with one of its own. Gilman hit Littrell for a first-down catch of 17 yards and then CMB gave PCM

a first down when the Raiders jumped offsides on fourth and one.

Two plays later, Gilman hit Clark for a 36-yard touchdown. Clay Cooper finished off the win when he took a pitch from Gilman and then tossed a 13-yard touchdown to Greiner with 2:36 to play in the game.

“I think in the second half, we just came out and played much better football,” Bonnett said. “For whatever

reason, our defense wasn’t that good in the first half, but once we got a stop in the second half, our energy level and confidence went up.”

McWhirter finished with 190 passing yards, 60 rushing yards and three touchdowns, but the CMB offense never got going in the second half.

Littrell had 138 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 24 carries. Clark finished with five catches for 115 yards and three touchdowns, while Jenkins had four catches for 76 yards and Greiner added five catches for 61 yards and a score.

Jenkins also had a fumble recovery, an interception, six solo tackles, three assisted tackles and three tackles for loss to lead the defense. Austin Sneller had nine solo tackles and four assisted tackles and Littrell finished with five solo tackles and 10 assisted tackles.

Charles Robertson finished with 13 solo tackles and two tackles for loss to lead the CMB defense.

It was PCM’s fourth win over CMB in the last five years.

It puts the Mustangs in good position for a top-two finish in the district.

On the other end of the field, CMB will have to recover and regroup from its first loss of the season.

“We were 21-21 at half, but we were short handed,” Luther said. “We have to go back to the drawing board though. We know what we have now.

And I don’t think we’re going to get great news on Stover either.

“Those are two of the best playmakers in 2A (Coughenour and Stover) I feel. Without them, we just didn’t have an identity. We need to figure out where we want to be.”

PCM and CMB will both be playing in Homecoming games this week.

The Mustangs host Class 1A West Marshall (2-3) and the Raiders take on Clarke (0-5) in a District 7 contest that will be played in Maxwell.
