Newton, Iowa

Deadly weekend I-80 crash began with speeder near Altoona

By Mike Mendenhall Daily News Staff Writer

Ty Rushing/Daily News During a work session Monday, the Newton Community School District Board of Education heard several scenarios involving the Berg Complex including building a new $35 million replacement. The current facility first opened in 1961.

School board pitched $35M proposal to rebuild Berg Complex BREAKING NEWS

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer The planning for the future building configuration of the Newton Community School District took an unexpected twist in the form of one of two scenarios that could cost between $15 million and $35 million.

These scenarios were unveiled during Monday’s board of education work session by Susanne Gerlach, a senior managing consultant for Public Financial Management in Des Moines.

Scenario two is the more expensive option and would require $35 million to completely rebuild the Berg Complex, which houses the elementary and middle school at 1900 N. Fifth Ave. E. The district would finance this proposal by using $18.4 million in Secure an Advanced Vision for Education or SAVE funds, and by issuing $16.6 million in general obligation bonds, which would require voter approval.

Voters would have to approve a debt service levy tax rate of around

$1.50 per $1,000 of taxable valuation for a 20 year period. Gerlach estimated that a home with a $80,000 taxable value would pay roughly $120 per year.

Under the first scenario, the the Berg Complex would undergo a $15 million renovation that would be funded from the Secure an Advanced Vision for Education fund.

This fund is supported by revenues from state sales/use tax for school infrastructure.

Although this was the first time these proposals were discussed publicly, an email conversation shows Gerlach sending these scenarios to District Business Manager Gayle Isaac on Sept. 15.

A second document presented

by Gerlach indicates she has been crunching the numbers for these scenarios since Aug. 21, and in her presentation she said the interest rates she used were from Aug. 19.

In the board’s previous work session on Sept. 10, the board heard four proposals on building

configuration, all of which involved reopening the Emerson Hough building, changing building grade level layouts and included nothing on renovation or building new.

Several board members did ask Dave Briden, a senior architect at FRK Architects and Engineers, about the possibility of adding on to current district facilities. Briden researched those possibilities and concluded the only facilities suitable for add-ons are Berg and Aurora Heights elementary schools.

Under the expansion scenario, Berg would get six additional elementary classrooms, Aurora would receive have four rooms added and Emerson Hough would remain in its current incarnation. The expansions are estimated to cost around $2 million per building.

The board declined to make further comment on any of the proposals, however, it did vote to give Superintendent Bob Callaghan the authority to investigate the purchase of real estate not to exceed $500,000.

COLFAX — A Davenport man was killed early Sunday morning at the 155 mile marker on Interstate 80 was initially pursed by the Polk County Sheriff ’s deputies before entering Jasper County, Lt. Jana Abens of the Polk County Sheriff ’s Office said Tuesday morning.

Officials report a car was spotted at 2:39 a.m. driving at a high rate of speed on I-80

eastbound by another motorist near Altoona.

The driver was later identified as 26-yearold Scott A. Trimble.

Polk County deputies were not able to slow Trimble, and the pursuit was continued

by Mitchellville police who reportedly posted stopping sticks causing Trimble to briefly loose control of his four-door Lincoln before entering Jasper County where CRASH See Page 3A

Background check policy in place for school volunteers

This school year, a person who plans on having contact with any student in the district other than their own child has to complete

These changes would not apply to school groups such as the booster clubs or PTA and outside entities like boy or girl scouts and the Jasper County Conservation Office.

Volunteers are considered people who work inside of a classroom, help with a classroom celebration activity or chaperoning a trip. These people can include parents, grandparents, guardians, retirees or citizens who are committed to helping students, will exhibit VOLUNTEERS See Page 3A

Loebsack tours Health Enterprises Medical Laboratory

By Jamee A. Pierson Daily News Staff Writer U.S. Congressman Dave Loebsack toured the Health Enterprises Medical Laboratory, which opened in May, Monday afternoon in Newton.

Meeting with Judy Sadler, CEO of Health Enterprises, Bruce Barnes, CFO of Health Enterprises, Jonathan Wilke, Director of Busienss Development, Brett Altman CEO of Skiff Medical Center and Deb Corlew, Director of the Laboratory, Loebsack had the chance to see specimens curried in and observed medical

laboratory technicians use the chemical system machine.

Loebsack spoke with Sadler about the history of Health Enterprises and what it will be doing in Newton and the state of Iowa.

“Eventually, with time we would like this to be Iowa’s reference lab, keep the dollars in the state,” Sadler said.

“It’s all about saving dollars,” Loebsack said. Altman added that Health Enterprises will improve the access for the rural Iowa hospitals.

“Plus it saves money in the health care system because we’re not buying all of the same products,” Altman said.

While viewing the blood bank the laboratory has on site, Loebsack shared a story about when he traveled overseas.

“The first time I went to Iraq, with a delegation, this was in February of 2007, I had never been into a war zone. We went to this armored vehicle ... first question was what’s your blood type. I don’t know what my blood type is, half of us didn’t know what it was. ‘Why do you want to know?’

Well we’re going to talk to you now about in the event you are in a Black LOEBSACK See Page 3A

In Brief

Organic certification cost share program available, due Nov. 3

Mike Mendenhall/Daily News The Iowa Agricultural Water Alliance wants to help reduce the number of nitrates and phosphorus loads placed into Iowa’s waterways from agricultural run off.

New group hopes to help protect Iowa’s waterways Iowa Agricultural Water Alliance backed by three of Iowa’s largest ag groups

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer Three of Iowa’s largest agricultural support organizations recently partnered up to create the Iowa Agricultural Water Alliance, with the intent of helping increase public and farmer awareness on the condition of Iowa’s waterways and effects to protect it.

The nonprofit organization was officially launched in late August and is supported by the Iowa Soybean Association, Iowa Pork Producers and Iowa Corn Growers Association, and on Sept. 15 IAWA appointed Sean McMahon as executive director.

While IAWA has a number of goals, its main objective is to increase awareness and get more farmers to take advantage of the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy, which was created by the Iowa Leg-

islature to help reduce the number of nitrates and phosphorus loads in water.

In 2013, the state approved $22.4 million in funds to continue supporting the strategy, and it encourages farmers to use more cover crops, installing bioreactors — a buried trench filled a carbon source material that helps filter nitrates in water, nitrogen inhibitors, restoring wetlands and by either using conservation tillage practices or going no till.

According to the alliance, some of its other goals are to support Iowa State University and other entities that want to research more practical environmental protection efforts by using credible data, secure funding from both private and public sources to fund its mission and educating the public and key decision makers on the need for more flexibility in nonpoint source pollution flexibility.

“The Iowa Agriculture Water Alliance will help coordinate the efforts of three of the

Grain Prices The Iowa Department of Agriculture reported closing cash grain bids offered to producers as of 2 p.m. Sept. 25. Prices are based off grain delivered to interior Iowa country elevators.

• US 2 Yellow Corn Prices were generally 3 to 4 cents lower for a state average of $2.98 per bushel.

• US 1 Yellow Soybean Prices were mostly 14 cents lower for a state average of $8.72 per bushel.

• Yellow corn average in the North Central region was $2.99 per bushel with a range from $2.88 to $3.10 per bushel.

• Yellow soybeans average in the North Central region was $8.58 per bushel with a range from $8.83 to $8.64.

leading agricultural associations in Iowa by helping farmers adopt conservation practices.

The fact that the Iowa Agriculture Water Alliance is a farmer-led initiative that involves multiple agricultural associations makes it unique,” McMahon said.

One of McMahon’s key roles as executive director will be helping to implement stronger conservation efforts among a number of different entities to help improve overall water quality in the state.

“I will be working with farmers, agricultural associations, agribusinesses, other corporations, state, federal and local agencies and other committed partners to help increase adoption of practices like conservation tillage, improved nutrient management, cover crops, nutrient treatment wetlands, bioreactors and others,” McMahon said.

“The Iowa Agriculture Water Alliance will help Iowa’s farmers to improve their nutrient stewardship and soil health as well

as their agronomic and environmental performance. I look forward to recruiting additional partners and supporters of the Iowa Agriculture Water Alliance who are equally committed to the success of the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy and improving Iowa’s water quality.”

The Cumming native has a long history with working on conservation efforts in agriculture and most recently served as the director for the Nature Conservancy’s North American Agriculture Program.

Now that the alliance is up and running, the program doesn’t plan to supplant any other programs but rather at as a supporting body and help advance the agenda of the Iowa Nutrient Reduction Strategy.

McMahon said that any party interested in partying with IAWA my contact him at smcmahon@iowaagwateralliance.org.

Refugees settle in thanks to small farm plots DES MOINES (AP) — The rapidly rising demand for locally grown fruits and vegetables has created a robust new market for refugees who fled violence in their home countries and found peace in farming small plots of land in several U.S. cities.

With help from a federal grant program and local charities, refugees like Angelique Hakuzimana of Des Moines are

now harvesting crops — some of which are native to their home countries — to meet local demand.

They’re also finding their place in new communities through an activity many are accustomed to, the federal program director said.

Hakuzimana, 39, was displaced by war in Rwanda in 2009 and settled in Iowa through a program sponsored by the United Nations

High Commissioner for Refugees. On a recent September morning, she picked vegetables as farm manager Zach Couture read off an order sheet from a food cooperative.

The organization received $85,000 for its program, which offers farm plots on land owned by a West Des Moines church to 26 refugee families from several nations, including Bhutan, Burma, Burundi and Rwanda.

“The big thing is that many refugees come from agrarian backgrounds and this is something that they are extremely accustomed to,” said Ron Munia, director of the Division of Community Development in the Office of Refugee Services.

“The interaction with the local population and other refugees is a huge factor in helping them integrate...which helps with the language barriers.”

Celebrating 16 Years in Newton

Local & State News Get to Know Newton Charity Scavenger Hunt is Oct. 18

www.newtondailynews.com | 3A

Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2014

The Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau has developed and is sponsoring, in collaboration with the Get to Know Newton Committee, a new and fun way to get the word out about Newton.

“On Saturday, Oct. 18, we’re having the Get to Know Newton Charity Scavenger Hunt in our continued efforts to market the community message,” said Linda Bacon, executive director of the Newton CVB. The scavenger hunt was initially scheduled for July,

but was postponed until October due to lack of registrations.“This is a great way to market our community, and in the process help support the cause of a charity or non-profit with the winning team taking home a check for $1,500,” she said.

The scavenger hunt is open to teams of four that will want to have good directional skills, a camera or phone with a camera, something to keep track of time, and a vehicle to navigate around town.

Volunteers Continued from Page 1A be flexible in scheduling according to the district.

The form asks for basic contact information, ask for two references and asks questions pertaining to the volunteers criminal background. By filling out this form, volunteers are also agreeing to submit to a background check.

In the summer board meetings as this policy was being developed, Superintendent Bob

The registration fee is only $25 per team. The Newton CVB and Get To Know Newton Committee decided this was another way they could promote the community not only to prospective visitors, but to people that could potentially want to move here, work and raise their family here, and make Newton their home.

“What better way to promote the community than by having some fun and showing off the amenities at

Callaghan said this measure was being implemented to ensure student safety, and not as a means to discourage people from wanting to help out in schools.

“We want to make sure people have time to come in and visit their own child and have an open school, but at the same time we don’t want individuals to come in and interact with other children and have a difficult, tenuous situation that arises,” Callaghan said previously.

Filling out the form is only required once per year. With

“If anything would have happened to us, that might have been the least of our worries,” Loebsack said.

While fielding questions from the group, Loebsack acknowledged that medicare reimbursement rates are a major issue in the state of Iowa.

“I think the best thing to do is to move us ... to a reimbursement based on value, I realize it is not easy to define what value is. That’s where we’re moving, it will take a while to get there,” Loebsack said. “Iowa will benefit period, Iowa providers. I am very aware that we’re always at or near the top in terms of the

the same time,” said Nathan Unsworth, Superintendent of Newton Parks and a Newton CVB Board Member.

Each team will be provided with a list of items to find and a map. The hunt will begin with a check-in time of 8:30 a.m. and game time from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.

“The scavenger hunt will only take an hour and a half, so it will move quickly, but very educational in the process,” Unsworth said. “and we don’t even think local teams will have an advan-

value of the quality of care that is provided here in Iowa. And then we’re always at or near the bottom in terms of reimbursement rate.”

“We’ve got to move the model, change the model.

I think that is going to help Iowa, no doubt eventually.”

Altman brought the groups attention that Loebsack is very knowledgeable about Skiff ’s “tweener” status and continued with the issues the hospital is having with reimbursement.

“The formula set up for a tweener hospital, we’re basically being reimbursed about 95 percent of cost and that formula just doesn’t work,” Altman said.

“To be in these medium sized communities, it is a struggle.”

“Ultimately we’ve got to have you folks here, so patients can have access to good quality, affordable care,” Loebsack said.

tage since the items to find all are listed by clues.”

“We need at least 20 teams to register in order to accomplish our goal of getting as many people to Get to Know Newton as we can at one time,” Bacon said.

Registration forms can be downloaded online from the Newton CVB’s website, www.visitnewton.com, or picked up at the Newton CVB office at 300 E. 17 th St S. in Newton.The registration and fee must be received by the deadline of Oct. 14.

Crash Continued from Page 1A Iowa State Patrol took over the chase.

Trimble continued to evade officers eastbound on I-80 at a high rate of speed until losing control of his vehicle near Colfax at 2:48 a.m. The report states the subject’s car “vaulted” across the median, impacting a semi-truck in the westbound lane.

Trimble was pronounced dead at the scene by the state medical examiner. Trimble’s passenger was injured and transported to Skiff Medical Center in Newton by ambulance.

The driver of the semi was unharmed.

ISP Sgt. Scott Bright said Monday an investigation has been launched in the incident.

Keeping Me on My Toes

Seven years and counting

By Jamee A. Pierson Staff Writer

Happy Anniversary to us!

That is what I thought after working all day, going to a meeting in the evening and then taking our first trip to the emergency room at 10:30 p.m. that night. We didn’t have any special plans for the day to begin with, but seeing my husband would have been nice.

Between the two of us, we have pretty busy schedules.

Adding the kids in and it only gets crazier, with no end in sight as the girls get older. To begin, we usually don’t celebrate anniversaries, birthdays, etc. with big events or extravagant gifts. Flowers are nice, but with student loans and car payments, I like to put my money towards debt reduction not wants.

Now don’t get me wrong, we like to buy “things” and as practical as we try to be, we’re both classified as “spenders”

not “savers.” We usually work toward a vacation or large purchase, like a new television or furniture. This anniversary was no different.

My husband usually works until 5:30 or 6 p.m. and as happens on some Mondays I had a meeting at 6 p.m. After arriving at the meeting I asked how long it might last, with a response of three to four hours. My stomach twisted a little knowing my husband wouldn’t be too excited if we didn’t see each other at all.

Luck had it that I was able to leave the meeting early and make it home for a late dinner with my family. My parents had fixed my favorite, meatloaf and cheesy potatoes with pumpkin bars for dessert.

Since it was Monday, my oldest had preschool, and she was pretty tired after her big day with no nap. My youngest also did not take a nap,

Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2014 so an early night was in store for the girls, or at least that is what we thought. After getting both the girls in bed and asleep, I was set to start working on some sewing projects for an upcoming craft show.

Not more than 15 minutes later, my youngest started crying and wouldn’t go back to sleep. After sitting up a while, she started tugging on her right ear.

My mom is a former nurse so I defer to her judgment a lot when the girls get sick. Since it seemed to be a persistent pain and we didn’t have any medicine at home, she said we should head to the emergency room. We always thought our youngest might be the first to make the visit, but maybe for a broken bone because of her fearlessness.

Since it was a Monday night and we were headed to a small town hospital we got

in and out fairly quickly. She slept through about half the visit, until the doctor started checking her ears, which led to a crying fit and a change of clothes for baby and mommy.

A nifty machine dispensed our medicine so we could give her the first dose that night and we were on our way home.

After a dose of medicine and some pain meds to help her sleep, it was a pretty uneventful night and she has since made a full recovery.

Having two kids 3 and under, I know that quality time with my husband will be few and far between, but even just having the drive home from the hospital was a nice, uninterrupted chance to catch up on the day and say happy anniversary.

Election Letters

The Newton Daily News welcomes letters regarding the upcoming Nov. 4 general election. To be considered for publication, letters must be submitted before Oct. 28.

Five years ago, I got married for the first time at age 51.

I immediately began to use a wide variety of marital language I borrowed f r o m t h e men of By Marc Dion my father’s generation.

I said “the old ball and chain” and “my better half.” If one of my friends saw me alone in a bar, I told him I, “got a pass for the night.”

My wife found it funny, something that may not have been possible for a woman of less selfconfidence.

And “wifey.” I say “wifey” all the time.

And last week, I’m in one of those chain drugstores and I’m buying her some sort of face cream potion, the name of which is written carefully on a scrap of paper in my wallet, and I pick up a bag of miniature Milky Ways (it is almost Halloween) and a small, fuzzy mouse-shaped toy for our cat.

And I get to the register and the clerk, who is perhaps 22, is ringing up my purchases, and I say, “The face cream is for wifey.”

Why do I tell the clerk this? I think it’s because I have an old school masculine need to assure the clerk that I am not, in fact, buying the face cream for myself. The first time a woman sent me out to buy tampons, I also bought a halfdozen cigars and a boxing magazine, just so the woman ringing me up would know I was too masculine to be buying

the tampons for myself.

Yeah. It’s hard to be a man. And it’s harder now that the drug store has quit selling cigars.

Hearing me say the face cream is for “wifey,” the clerk, who has a kitty paw print tattooed on her neck, looks at me and says, “Oh, do you want me to put that in a separate bag?”

“Why?” I said.

“Well, in case you have you bring it to her somewhere,” she says.

“Naah,” I say. “I have one of those old-fashioned wifeys. She lives right in the house with me.”

I hold up my left hand, on which gleams a plain gold band.

I knew what the clerk meant. Where I live, hip-hop culture is strong and young men often use “wifey” to mean the girl with whom they live, the girl they’re seeing regularly. Young women use the term, too, often with great pride.

Hip-hop or not, it’s an old song. Young men will say anything to keep a girl in their bed at least a couple of nights a week, and young women will make a marriage out of anything, the way a bird will make a nest from pieces of paper and fluttering bits of leaves.

You can lie with language, but language will always force you into truth.

As for me, I’m gonna switch back to “the old ball and chain.”

It sounds more committed than “wifey.”

THE BORN LOSER

Diversions Aging caregiver must find respite time for herself

Tuesday, Sept. 30, 2014

FAMILY CIRCUS

DEAR ABBY: How can I convince my aging, sick sister-in-law that her feeble husband’s care is too much for her at this point? She can barely care for herself, yet she must help him eat, get out of chairs — everything short of chew his food for him. I have tried telling her she deserves respite care of some kind, to no avail.

Have you any ideas how I can convince her she is literally killing herself and deserves some assistance? Their three daughters are no help at all to them. They turn a blind eye from their parents’ situation. — RELATIVE WHO CARES IN OHIO DEAR RELATIVE: I can think of a few things you might do to help.

The first would be to talk to the daughters and explain your concerns for their mother’s health — because if she doesn’t get some respite care, SHE could die before their father does.

Be sure to point out that if that happens, their father’s care would become THEIR responsibility. When they realize the effect it would have on their own lives, it might motivate them to do something.

The second would be to do some research and see what options are available for part-time caregivers or senior day care centers where her husband would be safe and looked after while your sister-in-law has a few precious hours to herself. The man’s doctor could guide you.

Then have a frank talk with her and explain that for her to be as effective a caregiver as she obviously wants to be, she’s going to have to take better care of herself because the track she’s on right now could cost her her own health or even her life, and that’s no exaggeration.

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 29-year-old single man who is hard of hearing. I have a steady job and plans for a good future, but I’m having trouble in the

dating world.

I would love to have a special someone in my life, but I’m shy. I have a hard time talking with the girls who live in my area. I can hear people pretty well unless they mumble or talk quietly, or face away from me when they speak.

I have asked people to repeat what they say (I try not to do it often) if I missed something. They get frustrated and so do I, and then they say, “Never mind!”

I try so hard to hear people. But it seems the harder I try, the less it seems worth it to find a relationship. Any tips on dealing with impatient and non-understanding people? — FRUSTRATED IN WISCONSIN DEAR FRUSTRATED: As people age, many of them encounter the problem you are trying to cope with now at your young age. Hearing loss is difficult because it is often subtle and can be extremely isolating for the person who has it.

My first tip would be to avoid noisy places for meeting women, if you can.

My second would be to be upfront about your hearing loss right off the bat. If a woman finds you attractive, she will find ways to accommodate the problem. And if she doesn’t, then she wasn’t the right candidate for a relationship in the first place.

found at Iowa prison

working under falls

MARION — Authorities in eastern Iowa say a man working under a disabled minivan on the side of the road died after the vehicle fell on him.

Linn County Sheriff ’s deputies were called to the road, between Marion and Springville, around 8 p.m. Monday. First responders arrived to find the minivan that had fallen on a man. He was taken to St. Luke’s Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Authorities have not released the man’s name pending notification of his family.

2 Branstad announces funding for eastern Iowa parks

DES MOINES — Nearly $2 million in state funding will go to enhance parks and recreation offerings in three eastern Iowa counties, Gov. Terry Branstad announced Monday. Branstad said the Grant Wood Mississippi River Region will be the pilot project in a long-term effort to enhance Iowa’s parks. The region — which includes Jones, Jackson and Dubuque counties — will come up with a plan by early 2015 to improve the four state parks in the area.

In 2012, the city council voted to demolish the building, but the Cedar Falls Development Group prevented its razing after acquiring a 40-year lease for the city owned structure earlier this year. The building was open for viewing last week during the Upstairs Downtown tour, where people could see private residences, upper level office areas and renovation projects.

Police: Iowa teen injured after flipping vehicle DUBUQUE — Iowa police say a teenager has been injured after flipping his vehicle while doing “doughnuts” in a high school parking lot. The 16-year-old was cited with reckless driving after the Sunday crash at Hempstead High School.

He had two passengers in the vehicle who weren’t injured. The teen tells police he would drive about 20 to 25 mph and turn the wheel to spin the car.

—The Associated Press

Body found in car identified as Iowa State student DES MOINES (AP) — A body found in the trunk of a car in Iowa City was identified Monday as that of an Iowa State University student missing for more than three weeks.

The death of Tong Shao, 20, is suspicious, said Sgt. Scott Gaarde, a spokesman for the Iowa City Police Department.

“The c a u s e a n d manner of Ms. S h a o’s death is not being released at Shao this time pending the autopsy results,” he said in a statement.

An autopsy was completed over the weekend.

Shao, a junior chemical engineering student from China, was last seen in Ames more than three weeks ago. Her friends told Ames police investigators they last received a text message on Sept. 8 indicating she was in Iowa City visiting a friend.

Police: 6 arrested for high school fight DAVENPORT (AP) — Two adults and four juveniles have been arrested after a fight broke out at the Davenport Central High School cafeteria.

Davenport police said 18-year-old Jamezaria Bailey struck a person several times with a chair from the caf-

eteria on Monday. They say the fight spilled outside before officers arrived.

Police say 47-year-old James Bailey approached the group with a metal baseball bat while officers were investigating. They say he swung the bat in the air and said his children were “jumped.”

Police investigators said they want to speak with 23-year-old Xiangnan Li (zi-ON’nan Lee), of Iowa City, a friend of Shao’s. Li lived at the apartment complex in southeast Iowa City where Shao’s Toyota Camry was found in a parking lot on Friday. Her body was discovered in the trunk when police searched

it. Authorities had been looking for the car since Shao had been reported missing by Ames police.

Li is a University of Iowa student from China and investigators are awaiting confirmation that he has returned to China, Gaarde said.

Iowa State President Steven Leath released a statement Monday

after learning the body was identified as Shao.

“Since she was reported missing, members of the Iowa State community had been concerned for her safety and well-being,” he said. “We extend our deepest sympathies to her family and friends, both here and in China. She will be missed by all.”

Daily News The Sports Schuffle

Distinguished quaterbacks Last week in this space, I wrote about Iowa’s quarterback situation, dilemma, controversy, back-up-playingf o r - a n - i n j u re d starter, whatever you want to call it.

C.J. Beathard played like Jake Rudock last weekend against Purdue, and by that I mean it’s still anyone’s guess who

By Ben Schuff will start in Iowa’s Daily News next game against Sports Writer Indiana in two weeks.

Neither quarterback has done enough to distinguish himself from the other.

This week, I wanted to spotlight two other quarterbacks closer to the area that have done more than enough to distinguish themselves. Those quarterbacks are Colfax-Mingo’s Jared Myers and Prairie City-Monroe’s Logan Gilman. Both have posted exceptional numbers through the first five weeks of the high school season.

There are 340 high schools in Iowa that play football. By my count, that means there’s at least 340 high school quarterbacks in the state. Through five games, Gilman has thrown for the third-most yards (1,376) of any quarterback in any class and Myers (1,322) the fourth-most yards.

Both players’ numbers have skyrocketed from last year’s, and for different reasons. PCM’s ground-orientated offense totalled 395 rushing attempts to only 82 pass attempts last year. The Mustangs are far more balanced this season (160 runs and 155 passes so far), and Gilman, Class 2A’s passing yards leader, is making the most of his opportunities.

PCM’s junior quarterback has attempted 155 passes, tied for fifthmost in the state. Of the 21 quarterbacks in all classes with at least 130 pass attempts, Gilman’s 56.8 completion percentage is third highest. That’s distinguishing yourself.

To some extent, Myers is benefiting from simply being on the field. The Colfax-Mingo junior missed significant time each of the last two seasons due to collarbone and ACL injuries.

He’s healthy this year and has put himself in a class of his own.

Myers leads all Class A quarterbacks in touchdown passes (13), completions (88) and attempts (165). New SCHUFFLE See Page 2B

Junior varsity Cardinals notch first win

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor Jake Bennett scored four touchdowns to help Newton High’s junior varsity break into the win column for the first time this season. Playing at home, the Cardinals decked the visiting Gilbert Tigers, 34-13.

Gilbert took the opening drive of the game down and scored to go up 6-0 after the extra-point kick failed. The Tigers stopped the Cardinals on their first possession, but Bennett turned the tables.

Bennett made an interception of a Gilbert pass.

On the first play of the drive, Bennett took the handoff and made a long touchdown run. Josh Gulling’s extrapoint kick put the Cardinals in front for good, 7-6.

Bennett hauled in a touchdown pass from Parker Schuster in the second quarter. The Cardinals led 13-6 at halftime. Bennett had two more touchdowns in the second half.

Chiefs offense hums in rout of Patriots KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Perhaps the Kansas City Chiefs gave their neighbors across the parking lot a little bit of inspiration with their impassioned performance against New England.

Jamaal Charles returned from an ankle injury to score three touchdowns, Alex Smith threw for 248 yards and three scores, and the Chiefs routed the Patriots 41-14 on Monday night, getting the sports week off to a smashing start in Kansas City with the Royals preparing to open the baseball playoffs on Tuesday.

“To have back-to-back events like this, Monday night football and a home playoff game, yeah, it’s special,” Smith said. “Right next door to each other.”

Arrowhead Stadium, which was packed to the brim in redclad Chiefs fans, is just a short walk from Kauffman Stadium, which will surely be packed with blue when the Royals end a 29-year playoff drought against the Oakland Athletics in the

AL wild-card game.

Several members of the Royals even showed up for the Chiefs-Patriots game, including starting pitcher James Shields, drawing huge roars when they were shown on the big screens. And some of the Chiefs said they were thinking about returning the favor, including wide receiver Dwayne Bowe.

Regardless, the Chiefs will be able to spend Tuesday in a celebratory mood.

They held the Patriots’ Tom Brady to 159 yards passing and a touchdown, picking him off twice and returning one for a touchdown. Brady was also strip-sacked by Tamba Hali to set up a Chiefs field goal, capping off a miserable night for the twotime NFL MVP. “It was just a bad performance by everybody,” Brady said. “We need to make sure we never have this feeling again. We’ve got to figure out what we have to do better.”

The Chiefs forced the Patriots to air it out by stuffing Shane Vereen

and Stevan Ridley. And when Brady dropped back, their front seven ran roughshod over New England’s suspect offensive line.

It hardly helped the Patriots offense that it was trying to operate on the same night Chiefs fans were trying to reclaim the record for loudest outdoor sports venue. The record was set in the first half, when Guinness World Records noted a noise level of 142.2 decibels — breaking the mark of 137.6 that Seattle Seahawks fans set last season.

“My ears are still ringing,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said with a smile.

Kansas City had 303 yards of offense by halftime, the most against any Belichick-coached team in the first half of a game. That includes his years coaching in Cleveland.

“We just never got anything going.

Nothing,” Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork said. “They just executed. They executed perfectly. We were always out of the game, it seemed.”

Newton freshmen rally to win at Gilbert

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor GILBERT — Falling behind 14-8 by halftime Friday night, Newton High’s freshmen had work to do in the second half. They got it done on both sides of the football.

Holding Gilbert’s Tigers in check the entire second half, Newton came up with the tying touchdown in the fourth quarter. Garrett Sturtz scored up the middle on a quarterback sneak for three yards.

Zach Combs lined up the extra-point kick and delivered the go-ahead point. Newton defeated Gilbert, 15-14, to go 5-0 on the season.

Part of the work came late in the first half. The Cardinals trailed 14-0.

Matthew Karsten took a Gilbert kickoff and went 90 yards for a touchdown. Carson Cazett scored the two-point conversion run.

“We were really sluggish to start the game and dug ourselves a hole,” said Trent Powers, NHS assistant coach.

“We put in a variation to our kickoff return this week and it really provided us a spark right before the half to get us back in the game.”

Cazett led the rushing attack for Newton with 66 yards on eight carries including a run near the end of the game to give the Cardinals a first down. Sturtz had 28 yards on seven carries and completed one pass for 44 yards. Jaron Roush made the catch.

Jace Lukefahr rushed for 27 yards on six carries and Josh Miravalles had 14 yards on two rushes.

Alex Morris led the defensive charge with 10 tackles. Combs had six tackles and an interception. Karsten made six tackles while Lukefahr had five tackles and two quarterback sacks.

“Our kids really responded to the challenge, did not give up and kept pushing along. We found a way to win a football game when things were not going our way. That Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News says a lot about the men- Newton freshman Carson Cazett (30) cuts back into the field to get away from a Gilbert defender during a run tal toughness of these late in Friday’s game at Gilbert. The NHS freshmen won 15-14 to go 5-0 on the season. Cazett had 66 yards on eight boys,” Powers said. carries and scored a two-point conversion for the Cardinals.

The Sagittarius moon makes a request for tolerance. So many of the world’s problems would be solved if we could learn to accept one another and ourselves.

“What is tolerance? It is the consequence of humanity. We are all formed of frailty and error; let us pardon reciprocally each other’s folly — that is the first law of nature.” — Voltaire TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 30). Not only will you stand out in the crowd, but you’ll stand in front of it. Leading earns you respect and money. It’s also part of the reason your relationships are so satisfying.

The past comes back to roost in November, and you’ll resolve something, too. January begins a new project that won’t be finished until July. Virgo and Scorpio people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 3, 22, 4, 30 and 15.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). Set your target higher, and you’ll be forced to come up with very creative ideas about

how to achieve it. You have a talent for working backward from the solution.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24Nov. 21). The point isn’t to find a better situation. The point is to be someone better, and the situation will change because of that. One small change will make a huge difference.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). There are those on your team who still have no idea how to be team players. You’ll be the one to diplomatically point out when others are figuratively hogging the ball.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You treat everyone as your equal and behave in more or less the same manner with every person you meet — no airs.

Sometimes this means pressing the mute button on your self-expression and letting the others shine.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). Every time you gain a rung on the ladder

of success or fame you risk becoming selfish and out of touch with the rest of humanity. It’s good to have a grounded earth sign around to keep you in check.

whatever you wanted to do perfectly every time, you’d be very bored.

Mistakes are part of the learning curve and will provide much enjoyment after the fact.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Distractions abound, but resist the urge to wander. “Consider the postage stamp: Its usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing till it gets there.”

— Josh Billings

CANCER (June 22-July 22). Too many people want to speak and not enough of them will be actively listening to all that’s going on. The true message will be conveyed through body language.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). Create your own safety zone. Keep a certain distance from those who seem rushed, agitated or needier than you are prepared to handle. You can’t argue with insanity, so don’t bother trying.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

Good managers work harder than the employees they are in charge of, setting an example in this regard. It’s like what you have to do today to get your troops moving in a productive direction.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You like to surround yourself with talented people, but beware of the self-centered ones. The absence of anyone who is only concerned with self-benefit is the real benefit.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). If you could do

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). Tears are agents of healing. Even so, sometimes you’d rather not go through the emotional process and instead strive to create an environment that supports your happiness.
