Absentee voting has begun Last day to request ballot is Nov. 4

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Jasper County voters, you are officially on the clock.

Voters began filing in and out of the Jasper County Auditor’s office Thursday, becoming some of the first Iowans to vote in person in this year’s Nov. 8 general election.

Thursday was Iowa’s first day of early and absentee voting in this election cycle and hundreds of Jasper County voters took advantage of the opportunity.

Two of those voters are Ila and Bruce Walker of rural Monroe.

“It was so quick,” Bruce Walker said. “Sometimes, in a small place like Monroe, there will only be one or two places to vote, and it can take quite a while.”

VOTING | 3A

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Election workers help direct voters Thursday in front of the auditor’s office at the Jasper County Courthouse. Thursday was Iowa’s first day of early voting for the Nov. 8 election.

A Knoxville man who filed an Alford plea earlier this month in the April 2015 sexual abuse case of a Monroe teenager now claims he has new evidence which would clear him of wrong doing.

An attorney for 20-yearold Alex T. Vander Veer filed a motion in Jasper County District Court on Wednesday to withdraw the plea and set aside judgment. The motion Vander Veer states Vander Veer’s counsel obtained a sworn statement on Sept. 21 from a Mr. Nathan Fagg “detailing a conversation between him and the alleged victim regarding the fabrication of the story leading to the investigation, charges” and the Sept. 14 Alford plea by the defendant.

The document claims the evidence from Fagg was previously undisclosed, and he approached Vander Veer’s family directly following a story about the Alford plea in the Prairie City News.

Judge Terry Rickers issued an order setting a 10:30 a.m. Oct. 24 hearing to consider the motion. Court documents state the exhibits attached to Vander Veer’s motions have been sealed.

Vander Veer was originally arrested and charged with third-degree sexual abuse, also a Class C felony, in November 2015, following an investigation by the Monroe Police Department and the Iowa Department of Human Services. Vander Veer entered an Alford plea — which allows a defendant to enter a plea of guilty without making an admission of guilt — to lascivious acts with a child, a Class C felony.

The Newton City Council will look at a potential plat and infrastructure work for the new Cardinal Ridge Subdivision at its meeting on Monday. Cardinal Ridge is an upcoming subdivision, previously known as Cardinal Hills, to be built on 4.25 acres of land west of the former Newton Country Club that was purchased by the city in March.

The Planning and Zoning Commission unanimously recommended the approval of the plat which is a proposed 13 lot, plus two out lots, residential subdivision. The project would allow for a high quality townhome development.

Certain details were recommended to be addressed in the final preliminary plat document including the change in the name of the subdivision from Cardinal Hills to Cardinal Ridge, lot layouts are adjusted so a lot meets the minimum zoning equipment for lot size and the final plat will not be approved before a permanent road access is constructed.

Also before the council is a public hearing and resolution approving the contract for the roadway and utility construction for the subdivision. Plans were prepared and put out to bid to construct a roadway and public utilities with Halbrook Excavating, of Ankeny, submitting the low bid of $711,031.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Volunteer Sam Dunsbergen reads to Newton Christian School students in the campus library. The school’s board of directors and a committee have put together a master growth plan that includes searching for new facility for its growing K-8 enrollment.

Growing enrollment creates need for larger facility at NCS

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Newton Christian School’s enrollment is growing by about eight percent each year. Unfortunately, its school building is not.

The K-8 school has 92 students this fall, up from 87 last year and 75 in 2014-15. That’s making the school facility on North 11th Avenue East a bit cramped — and has led the school’s board of directors and the NCS Society to take steps in looking for other options.

Mary Patterson, the school’s principal, said NCS earned accreditation from Christian Schools International in the fall of 2014 and soon began to pursue follow-up actions recommended by that organization. Those included putting together a three-to-fiveyear plan, and for NCS, that plan includes figuring out what to do with its ongoing growth.

It isn’t clear yet exactly how NCS will address its rising enrollment. There are younger siblings of current students who will be gradeschool age soon, and no one at the school wants to see students turned away or a jump in tuition rates.

“Our tuition is lower than aver-

age, and we have two large fundraiser events each year and some generous businesses in town that help us out,” Patterson said. “But our facilities needs mean we should be considering alternative resources as well.”

Fire code regulations cap the number of people allowed in the school cafeteria at 125. The number of students allowed per classroom is 23. NCS is at 20 per classroom this year.

The NCS Society is made up of hundreds of parents and other supporters of the school, somewhat like shareholders of a cooperation, while the board has nine elected members. There are about six teachers and 12 total full-time staff members.

Fundraising will likely be a key element. Tuition covers about 70 percent of the school’s costs, while the other 30 percent is from between support from businesses and donations and NCS’s two major annual fundraisers — the Family Fun Day, which raised more than $16,000 this year, and the hog roast auction held each spring. There are platinum, gold silver and bronze sponsors.

Patterson said there have been murky times before where the

school, which first opened in 1957, wasn’t sure how the path forward would look. However, that’s the nature of a private self-contained school, Patterson said, and faith is an important part of both teaching children and in sorting out NCS’s facilities issues.

“We just need to maintain that tiny mustard seed of faith,” she said. “And parents are involved, too. This isn’t the kind of school where parents just drop their kids off and drive away.”

NCS seventh- and eighth-grade students participate in Berg Middle School extra-curricular activities. There are also First Lego League, drama, music, chess, sewing club and ping pong for the students, and community service is a requirement. This year’s students represent 22 churches and come from as far away as Marshalltown.

Patterson said the school isn’t trying to resolve its facilities dilemma in a vacuum.

“We are involved with the community, every day and in our big decisions,” Patterson. “We’re not off in a ‘holy huddle’ trying to figure this all out by ourselves.”

The Walkers voted in person, but still completed the same absentee ballot used for both in-person and mailed absentee voting. They’re among the 2,318 Jasper County voters who had requested an absentee ballot as of Thursday.

There were more than 9,300 absentee ballots requested in the county during the 2012 general election cycle. There were only about 6,600 in 2008.

On-site early voting for the Nov. 8 election will take place through Nov. 7 at the auditor’s office, located on the second floor of the Jasper County Courthouse. The office is open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.

For those who would rather vote absentee by mail, absentee ballot request forms can be printed from the Iowa Secretary of State’s website or by calling the auditor’s office at 641-792-7016 and requesting an absentee ballots request form be mailed.

The last day the office will field requests for absentee ballots to be mailed out is Nov. 4, but all ballots must be either submitted in person by Nov. 7 or returned by mail postmarked by that date.

An official canvassing of ballots is scheduled for Nov. 15.

Some residents who winter in warmer climates are grateful for the opportunity to vote early. That’s the case for Ila and Bruce Walker.

The city purchased the building with the intent to stabilize the property and facilitate its full rehabilitation. The city found a step in that process for necessary renovation

It is proposed for Braun to inspect and test hazardous materials, such as asbestos and lead paint, at a price of $10,950. The work will be paid for using North Central Tax Increment

ditor’s Note: The column originally published Oct. 24, 2014.

I attended the League of Women Voters candidate forum last Thursday at the Newton City Hall where I was pleasantly surprised by what I gained out of the experience.

I didn’t go because I’m an undecided voter — in fact, I’ve already voted — but I went because of the unique opportunity to potentially subject candidates to questions and witness public figures improvisational speaking styles.

Frankly, I anticipated the forum as an athletic event, a competition, and I, a fan, would either be overcome by confidence and pride or naivety and defeat after the outcome of this battle.

The forum was packed, although in a small venue, and everyone was crammed in, sitting close to each oth-

Contrary to popular belief, it’s true.

Great conversations require great debate among a bunch of unalike people. Maybe it’s better to be surrounded by open ideas, ones we don’t agree with, than to be constantly surrounded by the same beliefs as our own. There’s nothing to gain from continually reinforce our same beliefs. It’s not inclusive, interesting or informative, and it’s far from cooperative.

So Anyway Dana King

It’s my hap-happiest time of the year I enjoy so much about autumn — the crispness of the air, open windows, the sounds of a chainsaw and the smell of sawdust, morning coffee by an outdoor fire, sweatshirts and capris, watching harvest, rainy days, college football, the availability of the movie “Hocus Pocus” on television, the excitement of a surprise early dusting of snow, marching bands. I could go on, but suffice it to say, this is my favorite time of year.

Growing up in Clarinda, October meant the Southwest Iowa Band Jamboree. Bands from across Iowa, Missouri, Nebraska and Kansas converged on our little town for a day-long event that included a milelong parade route of several thousand junior high and high school students in uniforms, strutting their stuff as they advanced down Main Street, as well as all the pageantry of a field competition which often included a college band or two.

I’m the daughter of a band geek (circa mid-1950s to early 60s) who was involved in the inaugural Clarinda Band Day 61 years ago as a seventh grader. Once out of school, mom even provided radio commentary of the parade from 1964-1968 on KMA radio — or as my grandma called it, “May’s Radio,” founded by Earl May (yes, that Earl May).

There was such excitement as the buses would begin arriving at the high school shortly after dawn.

Most years we would start the day enjoying the pancake breakfast provided by the Lions Club under the canopy of the local Ford dealer. There’s nothing like trying to shove sticky, syrupy fingers inside a pair of mittens after eating pancakes — I’m talking from experience as a kid and a parent. Then we’d work our way to the town square, lined with lawn chairs and blankets, and try to find the perfect location to position ourselves for the parade. I may not have been in band myself, but I was schooled in critiquing them — the lines, the carriage, the angles, the spacing, both the musical and visual performances.

There’s just nothing in the world like a good drum cadence to make me think of fall.

But I digress.

I also like the last hurrah my grass seems to take this time of year. Lawns are green again, free of dandelions, and seem so clean and plush right after they’re mowed. That is until the leaves drop. When we had kids at home, aka free labor, we used to rake them all up. Now we just keep the lawn short enough so when the leaves do end up in the yard, the wind will eventually blow them out to the pasture. (We’ve learned to choose our battles.)

Even the thought of the impending winter months can’t squelch my fondness of the season.

However there is one thing about autumn I’ll always despise ... those dreaded words “that’s it for our garden tomatoes.”

Honey bees are a treasured asset I recently read Micah Cope’s letter concerning honeybee keeping in Newton with interest and support. I’m sure the plight of our honey bees in America is common knowledge. Honey bees are a vital part of the food chain. The Environmental Protection Agency is earnestly campaigning to pass laws that will do

a great deal towards saving this treasured asset. Huge companies such as Monsanto and Sergenta and others are treating hybrid seeds and sprays with neurological chemicals that kill insects including honey bees at an alarming rate.

For years, I’ve consumed local honey on a daily basis. A teaspoon of honey a day has completely eradicated my many allergies. I visited recently with my “bee man” about these con-

cerns and he informed me that the healthiest honey bees are the ones that are kept within the cities and towns. They pollinate plants and flowers in gardens and yards and don’t go out into the farm fields. I’m hoping our city leaders will take into consideration our message and act upon our recommendation to allow back yard bee keeping in Newton.

France’s waste-not experiment France has embarked on two experiments we should take note of. First, the nation just banned all non-biodegradable disposable plastic cups, plates, and utensils. Second, they passed a law requiring supermarkets to donate unspoiled food they don’t want to charities instead of throwing it away.

I used to work in a supermarket, so I’ve seen what gets thrown away. In fact, I’ve thrown good food away myself. Perfectly good loaves of bread, bagels, muffins, brownies, and pastries — I put it all in the trash.

Why? Because I was required to, and I didn’t want to lose my job.

A few times, I broke the store’s rules. I diverted food from the trash and snuck it out to give it to homeless people.

I heard various explanations from the staff for why we couldn’t donate the food. One coworker claimed the store didn’t want a huge line of homeless people out the front door if word got out that free food was available.

Another View Jill Richardson But that doesn’t explain why we didn’t give the food to a shelter.

No doubt every department in our store threw out perfectly good food that had passed its expiration date. In the bakery, very few products actually went bad on their expiration dates, but we threw the day old bread and pastries out anyway.

There was a sizable homeless population in our area who would’ve really appreciated that food.

France, at least, has decided to put an end to needless supermarket food waste by requiring the stores to donate it to charity, diverting it from the landfill.

As far as disposable kitchenware, with any number of reusable, biodegradable options, there’s simply no reason to use a plastic cup one time and throw it away.

France’s law actually offers an exception, allowing its citizens to continue using biodegradable plastic products. I understand the temptation — especially when hosting a large gathering — for one time use plasticware.

And the desirability of “to go” cups that allow consumers to buy a beverage and leave, instead of staying put until they finish their drink, makes sense.

Although I appreciate that they’re allowing people the convenience and utility of disposable cups, plates, and silverware, I wonder about the details.

How does the biodegradable plastic biodegrade? Will it biodegrade in a landfill? Must it be composted?

The beauty of these two laws, for now, is that they aren’t happening here. We have a chance to watch how France implements them and works out the bugs.

By learning from their example, hopefully, we can figure out the best way to reduce food and plastic waste here.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Basic voting information is available just a click away

DEAR ABBY: Election Day is just over a month away. As it approaches, many people have questions about voting that could keep them away from the polls this November.

USAGov can help. We’re the federal program that connects Americans to government information and services.

Responding to questions from people across the country, we created an online guide to voting and elections at USA. gov/voting.

Our goal is to equip everyone with the basic information they need to register and get their vote counted. The information is free, easy to understand and nonpartisan.

There, readers can begin the registration process for their state or contact their local election office to update their voter information, learn what form of identification may be needed and the location of their polling place.

We also provide information on how to vote early or absentee — which is helpful for those who can’t get out to vote, or who serve overseas in the military. Learn about sample ballots, tips for researching candidates, accessibility laws for voters with disabilities and much more.

Abby, thank you for sharing USA. gov/voting with your readers, and for your long partnership in connecting them with information from their government to make their lives a little less complicated. — NANCY TYLER, SENIOR EDITOR, USA.GOV DEAR NANCY: You are welcome. Readers, in the 2012 presidential election, less than half (42 percent) of Americans who were eligible to vote did so. A person who has the right to vote and doesn’t is no better off than the millions of people in this world who do not have that privilege. We are fortunate to live in a country where citizens are allowed to cast a ballot. The direction our country takes domestically and internationally is to a great

extent determined by the citizens who exercise that right.

Regular, absentee and early voting all have registration deadlines that vary state by state — some as much as a month before Election Day, which is Nov. 8. So visit the voter registration section of USA.gov/voting, where you will find a button to begin the registration process.

DEAR ABBY: I work in an office where employee badges are issued and used to gain access to the building itself and to more sensitive areas. I know most of the people who work here and happily hold the door open for them, but there are also a lot of people I don’t know — some with badges indicating they work here, and others without identification.

I don’t want to let in someone who does not belong here and risk our safety and security. Would it be better to ask for ID before holding doors? What about friendly visitors? — BUILDING ACCESS IN BOISE DEAR BOISE: Companies pay large sums of money to ensure their buildings are secure. If someone doesn’t have an access card or a security badge, you should not hold the door open regardless of how friendly the person appears to be. To do otherwise circumvents the security and safety of the building and puts everyone — including yourself — at risk.

WATERLOO — A 31-year-old Waterloo woman has been charged in connection with the death of her 4-year-old daughter last year. Authorities say Kristi Buss was arrested Thursday on a warrant charging child endangerment resulting in death. She remained in custody Friday, pending $75,000 bail. Online court records don’t list the name an attorney who could comment on Buss’ behalf. Paramedics found Gracie Buss unresponsive at her home May 30, 2015.

SIOUX CITY— Opening statements are expected to be delivered Friday in the trial of a man accused of shooting a Sioux City police officer. Isaiah Mothershed has pleaded not guilty two counts of attempted murder and five counts of robbery.

DES MOINES — Des Moines police are investigating what they call the suspicious death of woman whose body was found in a parked minivan.

Police say the body was reported about 8 a.m. Thursday in a minivan parked at Broadlawns Hospital in northern Des Moines.

The van apparently had been parked at the site for several days. The body was found in the van’s cargo area. The death is considered suspicious, and detectives and the crime scene unit were at the site.

5 Woman gets 10 years for injuries to niece

HAMPTON — A northern Iowa woman has been given 10 years in prison for seriously injuring her niece. Twenty-sevenyear-old Jessica Torres, of Hampton, was sentenced Thursday. She’d pleaded guilty to assault causing serious injury and child endangerment resulting in injury. She was given five years for each crime, to be served consecutively. Torres pushed her neice down hard, causing head and eye injuries.

Former student gets probation in ISU sex assault case NEVADA (AP) — A student who was sexually assaulted after an Iowa State University party confronted her assailant at his sentencing hearing Thursday, telling him the attack had scarred her forever.

The March 2014 assault “turned my life upside down,” 21-year-old Melissa Maher told Patrick Whetstone in a forceful statement from the witness stand.

“It’s been 914 days since you shattered my college career, put it on hold and touched my soul in a way that haunts me in my sleep,” Maher told Whetstone, reading from a

two-page typed statement.

“My life has been completely changed because you wanted to have your fifteen minutes of fun.”

She warned: “Don’t you ever mess with another woman. Don’t you ever touch another girl. No means no.”

Maher, who said she wanted to be publicly identified, spoke before Judge James McGlynn sentenced the 21-yearold Whetstone to two years of probation followed by 10 years of monitoring and a lifetime requirement that he register as a sex offender. Both parties had recommended that sentence in a plea agreement

in which Whetstone pleaded guilty to assault with intent to commit sexual abuse, an aggravated misdemeanor.

McGlynn said he believed the sentence was an appropriate resolution that would protect the community and allow Whetstone to be rehabilitated.

He said he was encouraged that Whetstone had started to accept responsibility by pleading guilty and warned him to get consent from sexual partners in the future.

A criminal complaint says that Maher, then 19, became ill after drinking alcohol at a March 29, 2014, on-campus party where she met Whet-

stone, who was also drinking. Both were students at the time. After falling asleep or passing out on a couch, she says she woke up to find Whetstone sexually assaulting her.

Maher, who is now a community college student in her native state of Texas and recently engaged, said the plea agreement was “the best thing for me to go on with my life.”

“I’m starting a new chapter,” she said in an interview after the hearing. The Associated Press does not generally identify victims of sexual assaults, but Maher said she wanted to come forward in

the hopes of bringing change to how rape victims are treated on college campuses.

Whetstone declined to speak at the hearing. Until his guilty plea last week, he had argued that the sexual encounter was consensual and that Maher was lying.

In her statement, Maher said she lost friends who didn’t believe her claim that she had been raped.

She spoke of dropping out of Iowa State after seeing Whetstone around campus, not feeling safe in her own bedroom and having panic attacks that have caused her to miss work.

Lawsuit aims to block exploitation charge against teen

Cedar Rapids to remove flood evacuation zone restrictions

CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — Authorities say they will remove restrictions Friday on access to a precautionary flood evacuation zone that was set up in Cedar Rapids.

Parts of downtown and the western side of the city were reopened Wednesday after the Iowa National Guard moved barri-

cades, shrinking the evacuation zone. That gave residents and business owners access to 2,500 properties, though some areas remain closed.

City officials say the rest of the areas will be reopened at noon Friday, and the zone curfew will end at 7 a.m.

Police said Thursday there had

The river is expected to return below flood stage Sunday.

KNOXVILLE (AP) — A teenager and her family have filed a lawsuit to try and block a Marion County attorney from charging her with sexual exploitation after she sent photos of herself to a classmate through the mobile messaging app Snapchat.

The Knoxville High School freshman took one photo of herself in a mirror, showing her wearing a sports bra and boy shorts, a style of underwear. In the second photo, the teen was topless and wearing the same underwear, but her hair covered her breasts.

The photos were gathered by authorities earlier this year amid an investigation into nude and semi-nude photos sent by students at the school.

County attorney Ed Bull has threatened through a lawyer to prosecute the teenager in juvenile court unless she participates in a diversion program that includes a class about the dangers of sexting, community service, restrictions on the teenager’s cellphone and

computer use and a written admission of guilt.

The family’s lawsuit argues that Bull is trying to punish behavior that wasn’t criminal.

“What’s the difference between sending these photographs and someone sending photographs of themselves in a bathing suit to their significant other,” said Glen Downey, a civil rights attorney representing the family. Downey also said the charge is a violation of the First Amendment since it threatens the girl’s free speech and expression.

Prosecutors nationwide have struggled with how to handle sexting cases among teenagers amid fears that swapping nude photographs can lead to harassment, cyber bullying and manipulation by romantic partners or others. Sexting involves sending sexually explicit photographs or messages via cell phone or other mobile devices. The lawsuit argues that the teenager was not doing anything in the photos that could be considered a “sex act” under Iowa law.

Hearing set for teen held in South Carolina school shooting TOWNVILLE, S.C. (AP) — A judge will decide whether authorities can continue holding a teenager arrested after a school shooting that left two students and a teacher wounded and a tiny South Carolina community coping with the aftermath.

The juvenile who authorities say is also suspected of fatally shooting his father before the violence at Townville Elementary School was due in court Friday morning for an initial hearing.

Anderson County Solicitor Chrissy T. Adams said the public wouldn’t be allowed in because the suspect is a juvenile and prosecutors won’t provide additional details about the shooting, which occurred Wednesday.

“While I realize there are many unanswered questions, the investigation into this tragedy is in a critical stage, and is ongoing,” she said in a statement.

On Thursday, firefighters recounted the harrowing scene at the school, in a quiet community near the Georgia line. When two volunteer firefighters rolled up to the school, they said they found only a wrecked black pickup truck at the playground. There was

no gunman and no one inside the truck.

Within minutes, though, it was clear something awful had happened. One went inside to help treat the wounded and the other searched for the shooter, and neighbors are now calling them heroes.

“This was more than just another call to us.

This incident occurred in the school where our children and the children of the community attend,” Townville Fire

Chief Billy McAdams said Thursday during a news conference, pausing to keep his emotions in check.

Authorities say the teen, who hasn’t been identified because of his age, shot his father, 47-year-old Jeffrey Osborne, at their home before driving the pickup 3 miles down a country road lined with chicken houses and pine trees to Townville Elementary. He only had to make two turns to arrive at the red brick school, where

he crashed the truck, got out and fired at a door as it was being opened for recess, authorities said.

Bullets struck two students and a first-grade teacher, and the building was immediately placed on lock down.

Anderson 4 Superintendent Joanne Avery said staff saved lives by flawlessly implementing active-shooter training drills conducted with students over the past few years — at Townville Elementary, most recently just last week.

Grant Hemphill earns Eagle Scout award Newton Daily News Grant Hemphill, son of Amy and Lawrence Hemphill (a Newton High School graduate), was recently awarded the rank of Eagle Scout — scouting’s highest honor. Hemphill is a member of Troop 178, Waukee, of the Mid-Iowa Council.

Hemphill and volunteers spent three months refurbishing a garden shed for Waukee Area Christian Services for his Eagle project. The garden provides fresh produce for their on-site

food pantry. He raised $1,026 for construction materials, and coordinated the work of 22 volunteers who put in 239 working hours to complete the project.

Volunteers replaced missing shingles and added new gutters.

Two rain barrels were added, and stands for them to sit on were built. A gravel ramp was added in front of the shed for easier access of wheeled items.

Door latches and in-ground locks to hold doors open when the shed is in use were added.

OSB board was added to all interior walls and ceiling to provide some insulation, as well as new shelving. The entire exterior was power-washed, re-painted, and sealed. A garden-themed mural

was commissioned and painted on two sides of shed for it to be more visible from the street and to the community.

Hemphill is a junior at Waukee High School, and participates in wrestling and Ignition, a Christian fellowship group. In July, he represented Team Iowa at the 2016 USA Wrestling Junior/ Cadet National Championships in Greco-Roman in Fargo, N.D. He is considering engineering or architecture as a career.

Hemphill is the grandson of Don and Nancy Hemphill, of Newton, and Tom and Mary Sue Zaputil, of Mystic. He is also the great-grandson of Pearl Wagner, of Marshalltown, and Josephine Moffitt, of Centerville.

Aging with grace SPONSORED BY

Have you ever overheard someone talk about how soin-so is or isn’t “aging with grace?”

It’s a common phrase, but do you even know what it means? The person who said it might not know what it means either, and even the so-called person who is “aging with grace” might not either because they’re simply focusing on living the best way they can.

There probably isn’t a wholly way of defining what one needs to do to age with grace, but to say that they’ve accepted the fact that they’re indeed growing older, and are prepared to accept the changes that will accompany it, is probably a good way of understanding it.

The problem is that many seniors are challenged in their later years and it doesn’t take long for happiness to turn into unhappiness, isolation and even depression.

That’s why maintaining a happy, healthy and active lifestyle is truly beneficial and can help you age with grace.

Some seniors struggle with life in their current home. Changes due to their health, less time spent with family and friends and an inability to remain active all can negatively affect their well-being. Some are fortunate to find the solution to aging with grace by also aging in place at a senior retirement, such as Park Centre.

At Park Centre, the staff invites residents to celebrate the day and focus on all the good things in their life. It helps them age with grace, as spacious apartments and townhomes, the elimination of maintenance, lawn care and housekeeping and wonderful onsite amenities, including a fitness center, wellness classes, swim spa, game room, art studio and more promotes wonderful everyday living.

If you can accept that you’re aging and can remain engaged in a meaningful life, you should be well on your way to aging with grace.

US stocks rebound as consumer companies and banks rise NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are bouncing back Friday morning after a steep loss late the previous day. Strong earnings from Costco are giving consumer stocks a lift. Banks, too, are recovering from a sharp drop as Deutsche Bank tried to reassure investors about its financial health. Energy companies are also trading higher.

The Dow Jones industrial average jumped 117 points, or 0.6 percent, to 18,260 as of 10:10 a.m. Eastern time. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index picked up 10 points, or 0.5 percent. The Nasdaq composite rose 19 points, or 0.4 percent.

BANKS — Banks made some of the largest gains. The stocks tumbled Thursday afternoon as investors again worried about the health of Deutsche Bank, the largest lender in Germany, following reports that some hedge funds are moving their business out of the bank.

Late Thursday CEO John Cryan tried to calm investors.

In a letter to Deutsche Bank employees, he said the bank has $241 billion in reserves and is meeting its capital requirements.

Deutsche Bank’s U.S.-listed stock rose 71 cents, or 6.2 percent, to $12.20. Its stock

has been pummeled this year and is trading at all-time lows.

Among U.S. banks, JPMorgan Chase added 68 cents, or 1 percent, to $66.33 and Citigroup gained 61 cents, or 1.3 percent, to $46.41.

OIL — Benchmark U.S. crude rose 7 cents to $47.90 per barrel in New York. Brent crude, the international benchmark, remained at $49.81 a barrel in London.

Oil prices have surged this week after the nations of OPEC, which collectively produce more than third of the world’s oil, agreed to a small cut in production in a surprise

decision. While the gains for oil prices have slowed, investors were still optimistic that energy companies will book larger profits as a result. Hess jumped 87 cents, or 1.7 percent, to $53.02 and Spectra Energy rose 67 cents, or 1.6 percent, to $42.99.

SALE — Warehouse club operator Costco Wholesale jumped $5.65, or 3.8 percent, to $153.14 after it reported a profit that was larger than analysts expected. Companies that make and sell household necessities also climbed. Procter & Gamble gained $1.37, or 1.6 percent, to $89.60 and Wal-

Mart rose $1.29, or 1.8 percent, to $72.02.

TECH — Major stock indexes set records this quarter, and tech stocks were by far the biggest reason. The S&P 500 technology index climbed 12 percent over the last three months, its best result since the end of 2013. Apple surged 18 percent, partly on indications of strong sales for the newest iPhones. Apple is the most valuable publicly-traded company in the world. The second-largest tech company, Microsoft, is up 12 percent this quarter and Google parent Alphabet leaped 14 percent.

Investigators seek answers in fatal New Jersey train crash HOBOKEN, N.J. (AP) — Federal investigators are trying to determine what happened before a commuter train barreled through a station and crashed into a barrier, causing a young mother to be killed by falling debris and injuring more than 100 other people.

Investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board will be looking to determine how fast the train was going when it crashed at the busy Hoboken station Thursday morning.

They hope to speak to the train’s injured engineer on Friday, NTSB Vice Chairman T. Bella Dinh-Zarr said.

State officials say he has been cooperating.

The investigation will seek to answer many questions, including whether a system designed to prevent accidents by overriding the engineer and automatically slowing or stopping trains that are going too fast could have helped if it had been installed on the line.

Investigators recovered an event recorder from the locomotive Thursday night and will be examining it Friday, Dinh-Zarr said Friday on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” The device contains information on the train’s speed and braking.

More than 100,000 people use New

AP Photo Emergency personnel arrive at the scene of a train crash in Hoboken, N.J. on Thursday, Sept. 29, 2016. A commuter train barreled into the New Jersey rail station during the Thursday morning rush hour, causing serious damage.

Jersey Transit to commute from New Jersey to New York City each day. The NJ Transit portion of the Hoboken station remained closed Friday, slowing the morning commute for those making connections there.

As investigators began their probe, the family of Fabiola Bittar de Kroon, the crash’s sole fatality, was in mourning. De Kroon had recently moved to

New Jersey from Brazil after her husband got a job with an international liquor company.

She had just dropped her toddler daughter off at day care before rushing to catch a train, according to day care director Karlos Magner.

“She was dropping off the daughter. I was closing up the stroller,” he recalled. “We had a good talk for like

a minute. And she said she was in a rush.”

Shortly after, the NJ Transit train ran off the end of the track as it was pulling in around 8:45 a.m., smashing through a concrete-and-steel bumper.

As it ground to a halt in the waiting area, it knocked out pillars, collapsing a section of the roof.

De Kroon was killed by debris, and 108 others were injured, mostly on the train, Gov. Chris Christie said. Scores were hospitalized, some with serious injuries including broken bones.

The engineer, Thomas Gallagher, was pulled from the mangled first car and was treated at a hospital and released. Gallagher has worked for NJ Transit for 29 years, and a union roster shows he started as an engineer about 18 years ago.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said investigators will determine whether the explanation for the crash was equipment failure, an incapacitated engineer or something else.

Some witnesses said they didn’t hear or feel the brakes being applied. Authorities would not estimate how fast the train was going. But the speed limit heading into the station is 10 mph.

“The train came in at much too high rate of speed, and the question is: ‘Why is that?’” Christie said.

On Target Newton’s Randy Brooks places at national archery event

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Randy Brooks has been bow hunting since his childhood. Only recently did Brooks get bit by the archery competition bug.

In his first national outdoor competition, Brooks claimed second place in the men’s freestyle limited recurve division. Brooks scored 1,244 points at the National Field Archery Association’s Outdoor National Target Championships.

Newton’s Brooks competed in the two-day event in Yankton, S.D., on Sept. 24-25.

“My passion for many years was bow hunting. Now, I’d have to say it is the archery target competition,” Brooks said. “I had shot the 3-D animal targets, but I wanted to go to the Iowa Games and shoot in the field archery event.”

Brooks said he put together a bow to compete in the field target competition. He has competed in target archer for a year.

“I found out I really liked it and enjoyed it. I shot an indoor competition back in March, which I had to shoot in a qualifying event then shot in the indoor state event at Minnesota State,” Brooks said.

Brooks uses a recurve bow and a long bow to hunt. He said he switched

over from a compound bow 10 years ago. The long bow is a single limb with a single string. A recurve bow has one string and the limb recurves out at the point it mounts to the riser.

At the third annual NFAA Outdoor National Target Championships, Brooks said there were 282 archers competing in event, which has different classes such as adult male, adult female, seniors, youth and others.

“There were four in my adult male class for freestyle recurve bow,” he said.

“I was nervous and a bit star-struck.

There is a man from New Jersey who

has instructional videos on his own YouTube channel. I’ve watched a lot to learn about Olympic recurve archery.

I get there and find out I’m shooting against him.”

Competitors shoot targets in a wide open field from 60 yards, 50 yards and 40 yards. Brooks said on Saturday, they shot a 900 round, which means each archer shoots 30 arrows from each distance at a 122-centimeter target face. On Sunday, it was a 600 round, shooting 20 arrows from each distance at a 92-centimeter target face.

“Taking second was really neat. I

really like the challenge of the sport.

If I had gone in there, shot well and improved my own skill and came in last, I still would have been happy,” Brooks said. “Yes, you are competing against other archers, but it’s about you against yourself, too.”

He said prior to the national tournament he practiced every day for seven to 10 days. When preparing for a competition, he shoots the same type of target face he will shoot at during the event.

NCMP Aquagirls swim against Atlantic

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News ATLANTIC — Swimming in their third met in seven days, the NCMP Aquagirls were a bit sluggish Thursday night in the pool. They lost the varsity dual with host Atlantic, 92-77.

“We’re not making excuses. We didn’t have a lot of opening speed in our swims, but in most cases, the girls came back well and showed good en-

Big sports weekend for NHS teams T

his is a big weekend for Newton High fall sports. This weekend for NHS includes Tuesday because the Newton boys’ golf team competes in a Class 4A district tournament on that day.

Of course, the buzz around here is how well Newton and Lynnville-Sully’s football teams are doing this season. Both have opened the season at 5-0. Then we have the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter girls’ cross country team and the Colfax-Mingo volleyball team rolling along very nicely.

You can toss in the Prairie City-Monroe football team, which looks to be headed to the playoffs in Class 2A. The Mustangs are doing well in district play right now. We have several individuals doing well in girls’ swimming and in cross country competitions — conference meets are on the horizon in both sports.

Emily Miller, Sarah Prendergast and Lindsey Blommers posted event wins for the Aquagirls. Miller won the 100yard butterfly, Prendergast took the 500 freestyle and Blommers claimed the win in the 100 breaststroke.

The Pressbox Jocelyn Sheets On Friday night, the Cardinal football team travels to Fort Dodge to play the Dodgers in the teams’ second Class 4A District 4 game. Newton is 1-0 in district play while Fort Dodge is 0-1. I’m looking for a pretty evenly-matched game.

The last time Newton football had started a season 5-0 was in 2006. Newton went 9-0 in regular season play that year. The Cardinal players are pushing for the sixth straight victory this season and a 2-0 start in 4A district play.

They have a tough challenge in the Fort Dodge Dodgers, who have the top passing offense among district teams.

Newton has the best rushing offense and one of the top defensive units in the district.

Saturday is the Newton High Cardinal Volleyball Invitational. The eightteam tournament opens at 8:30 a.m. with round-robin pool play.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Jaclyn Michener swims in a freestyle race in Tuesday’s home meet for NCMP. The Aquagirls competed in a dual meet Thursday at Atlantic.

Newton volleyball team could use some help from its fans. Show up for a day-long session of Cardinal volleyball and energize the girls on the court. The Cardinals have been in almost every set they’ve played this season. They’ve dropped a lot of close sets and close matches.

Newton will host something new for Little Hawkeye Conference in 2016 — a conference volleyball tournament. All conference teams will be at NHS on Oct. 13 for the competition.

On Tuesday, the Cardinal golfers go after a state tournament qualifying spot. The Cardinals are in district play at Veenker Memorial Golf Course in Ames.

Newton boys’ golf coach Pat Riley decided to play a split season in 201617 after Newton was pushed back up into Class 4A golf competition, which is played in the fall. The Cardinals played two invitational tournaments this fall and have been preparing for 4A postseason play. They will play a Little Hawkeye Conference schedule in the spring, but no postseason action.

Newton’s boys played Class 3A golf this past spring, sending two individuals to the 3A state tournament. All

Iowa high school golf except 4A boys is played in the spring. Playing the split schedule, allows the Cardinal boys to play for the LHC championship.

NCMP’s Aquagirls swam their second, and final, home meet Tuesday. I had never covered high school swimming until I came to Newton. The schools I covered in Kansas did not compete in swimming, so watching the girls in the fall and the boys in the winter has been a nice change of pace for me.

Last week, I finally saw the Newton cross country teams in action at the Cardinal Invitational. It’s great to see both the boys and girls have the numbers they do for cross country. I never understood the lure of long distance running. I admire those who run.

Now, I’ve seen all five of the area schools’ cross country runners compete. We can be proud how these young athletes from Newton, CMB, PCM, Lynnville-Sully and Colfax-Mingo work hard. I suspect we’ll have another strong contingent of Jasper County runners headed for the respective state races at the end of October in Fort Dodge.

Iowa State’s Warren finds stride after early struggles AMES (AP) — Even though Iowa State coach Matt Campbell has insisted that his first season is about building a stable program, he knows he has a player he can win with right now in running back Mike Warren.

Over the past two weeks, Warren has finally started to look like himself again.

Warren, who rushed for over 1,300 yards last season in roughly just 10 games, bounced back from a brutal start with 198 yards and a touchdown in his last two outings, including a 44-10 drubbing of San Jose State on Saturday. The Cyclones (1-3, 0-1 Big 12) host No. 13 Baylor (4-0, 1-0) this weekend.

“I feel like I can see the field better,” Warren said. “It all starts in practice and the film room, and maybe there were things that I was missing in the film room that I see now.”

In the early going, an in-

experienced offensive line opened few holes for him, and the Cyclones were forced to throw the ball in an effort to open up the field.

The line has played better of late though, and Warren has been a key beneficiary.

Iowa State committed to the ground game in a 41-20 loss at TCU on Sept. 17, running it 47 times despite falling behind early. Warren had 23 of those tries and rushed for 95 yards, 37 more than he had in losses to Northern Iowa and Iowa.

Against San Jose State, the Cyclones used turnovers and the passing game to grab a big

lead. They used what was essentially garbage time to work on running the ball with Warren, and he cracked the 100yard barrier for the first time in 2016.

“I think the offensive line is really coming along. Just knowing that we have set starting rotation now, those guys are going to really understand how to work together and be cohesive as a group and depend on each other and trust each other,” Warren said.

Warren struggled with fumbles at times in 2015, and he gave it away yet again last week after a long pass play.

“It’s one of those things that we have to just get out of his game,” Campbell said.

“It’s something that’s obviously talked about. I think Mike knows that. He’s a prideful football player and he knows that’s something he needs to continue to strengthen and to do better to be the complete

back he can be.”

If the Cyclones can keep throwing as well as they did against the Spartans, Warren should have even more room to operate in the weeks ahead.

Iowa State has apparently settled on a quarterback rotation with starter Joel Lanning and Jacob Park, who combined to complete 20 passes for 301 yards and five touchdowns last week. The pair complemented each other well. Lanning is the bigger threat to run and throw it deep, while Park has shown he can excel in a more traditional Big 12-type scheme.

But Campbell wants the Cyclones to be a program that controls games on the ground, and when Warren gets going there are few better backs in the league.

“It’s huge. To have him start playing with confidence ... he’s just consistently getter better,” Lanning said. “We’ve got to keep him rolling.”

Banned Rose appeals to Controversial walk-off Hall of Fame for eligibility gives Cardinals key win COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Rose’s longtime attorney Rayin tight playoff race Pete Rose is appealing directly mond C. Genco and attorney to baseball’s Hall of Fame to restore his eligibility, arguing the lifetime ban he agreed to in 1989 was never intended to keep him out of Cooperstown.

A seven-page letter to Hall Rose president Jeff Idelson on Tuesday made the case that the settlement agreement reached by Rose and then-Commissioner Bart Giamatti didn’t include a provision that he be ineligible for election to the Hall of Fame.

“At the time Pete agreed to the settlement, the consequences of being placed on the ineligible list were clear and specific — and did not include a Hall of Fame prohibition,” according to the letter, signed by

Mark Rosenbaum.

The Hall of Fame changed its bylaws two years after Rose’s banishment to make permanently banned players ineligible for the Hall, which shut out the career hits leader as long as he remained barred from baseball.

Rose agreed to the ban after an MLB investigation concluded he bet on games involving the Cincinnati Reds while managing the team.

Genco is asking the Hall to amend that bylaw specifically to allow Rose to be eligible for baseball writers to elect at their discretion. He makes the point that the banishments of Mickey Mantle and Willie Mays for their association with casinos didn’t affect their Hall status, and even Shoeless Joe Jackson had remained eligible after he was banned from the game for accepting money to throw the 1919 World Series.

Cubs-Pirates stopped by rain, first tie in majors since 2005 PITTSBURGH (AP) — Well, yes, there are ties in baseball.

The Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates played to the first tie game in the major leagues since 2005 when rain forced the teams to stop in the sixth inning Thursday night with the score 1-all.

The NL Central champion Cubs and Pirates aren’t scheduled to play again this season, and the game won’t be made up because it doesn’t affect postseason positioning.

So instead of becoming a suspended game, the stats count and it was declared a tie — the first since Houston and Cincinnati went seven innings on June 30, 2005, before rain halted them.

The Cubs weren’t around to talk about it as they were already dressed and out of the clubhouse by the time they game was officially called following a delay of 1 hour, 23 minutes.

Willson Contreras had two hits and scored for the Cubs, who have already clinched the best record in the majors.

Tim Federowicz hit a sacrifice fly in the Cubs second.

Josh Bell hit a sacrifice fly for the Pirates in the third.

Cubs rookie Rob Zastryzny gave up one unearned run in 3 2/3 innings in his first start after beginning his career with seven relief appearances.

Manager Joe Maddon opted to use all relievers as he prepares his team for the

postseason.

After losing his previous two starts, Ivan Nova allowed one run and four hits in 5 1/3 innings with five strikeouts and no walks.

It was the final start of the season for Nova, who went 5-2 in 11 starts after being acquired Aug. 1 from the New York Yankees in a trade. He is eligible for free agency after the World Series.

Pittsburgh is 78-80 and needs to sweep its season-ending three-game series at St. Louis that starts Friday night in order to extend its streak of winning seasons to four. The Pirates had 20 straight losing seasons from 1993-2012, the record for major North American team professional sports.

Green’s big game helps Bengals rout Dolphins CINCINNATI (AP) — Bengals receiver A.J. Green followed his disappointing game with a dominating one — 173 yards and a touchdown — and the Cincinnati defense that was inspired by Vontaze Burfict’s return Green clamped down on the Miami Dolphins for a 22-7 victory Thursday night.

The Bengals (2-2) rebounded from a 29-17 home loss to Denver on Sunday with a solid all-around game against a depleted team.

Green led the way, beating the Dolphins (1-3) on every type of route. He was upset with himself after he dropped a pivotal third-down pass and failed to make an impact against the Broncos.

During the first three quarters, Green had 166 yards on catches while Miami had 152 total yards. The Bengals’ season-long problem of stalling out near the goal line forced them to settle for Mike Nugent’s season-high five field goals.

The Dolphins were missing four starting offensive linemen, two linebackers, running back Arian Foster and tight end Jordan Cameron.

They had one big play — Ryan Tannehill threw a 74-yard

touchdown pass to Kenny Stills — but couldn’t do anything else on offense.

The Bengals’ defense expected to get a lift from Burfict’s return. The volatile linebacker was suspended by the NFL for the first three games because of his illegal hits. He got a loud ovation when he ran onto the field during introductions wearing a baseball cap. Burfict knocked down a pass and had three tackles.

Mostly, it was Green’s show.

He caught a 51-yard pass off Andy Dalton’s scramble in the first half, and had a 43-yard catch that set up another field goal in the third quarter for a 19-7 lead. He finished with 10 catches.​

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Yadier Molina hit a disputed double that drove in the winning run with two outs in the ninth inning Thursday night, sending the St. Louis Cardinals over the Cincinnati Reds 4-3.

The Cardinals began the day one game behind San Francisco for the second NL wild-card spot.

Matt Carpenter drew a one-out walk from Blake Wood (6-5). With two outs, Molina’s one-hop hit appeared to bounce off a sign above the left-field wall and carom back into play.

Carpenter kept running and scored from first. Reds manager Bryan Price ran after the umpires, who left the field as soon as Carpenter touched the plate.

Price later said umpire crew chief Bill Miller told him

that teams have 10 seconds to appeal on a game-ending play, and that the complaint wasn’t made in time.

“I’m not blaming the umpires. I’m blaming the system,” Price said.

Molina and Jedd Gyorko hit homers for the Cardinals.

Seung Hwan Oh (6-3) wound up with the win.

Cincinnati scored single runs in the eighth and ninth.

Pinch hitter Scott Schebler had a two-out, two-strike infield single to make it 3-all.

Gyorko hit his team-high 28th homer off starter Dan Straily in the second. Molina hit his homer in the fifth.

St. Louis rookie Alex Reyes, in his fifth major league start, gave up one run on seven hits in a 99-pitch outing. He struck out six and walked two.

Brooks Continued from Page 1B On an average, Brooks practices three days a week. When the weather turns bad, he practices indoors and shoots every night.

“Yes, I’m continuing to compete. When we were coming back from Yankton last weekend, I started making a list of shoots I wanted to compete in for 2017,” Brooks said.

“After the first of the year, I’m going to Las Vegas to compete in the world’s largest indoor archery shoot.”

Brooks said he began bow hunting when he was 8 or 9 growing up in Knoxville. He said over the years he has hunted bear, elk, deer and wild pigs with a bow. He has never hunted with a gun, he said.

Brooks and his family moved to Newton six years ago, and he works for Pella Corporation.

Brooks is a Level 1 USA archery instructor and an archery instructor for the Newton YMCA. Brooks said he held an archery clinic at the Y this summer and teaches private lessons through the YMCA. “Archery is about having good technique and building your form from the ground up. You don’t have to do it my way, but do it the same way every time,” Brooks said. “I love the sport of archery.”

Hawks deck Bears

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News NORTH ENGLISH — On the road Thursday, Lynnville-Sully High’s Hawks netted a South Iowa Cedar League conference win. The Hawks kept host English Valleys’ Bears winless with a 2518, 25-13, 25-21 victory.

The Hawks served at a 95-percent clip, 82-of86, with seven ace served against the Bears. They delivered 39 kills.

Carson Fisk was credited with 30 set assists for the net attack. Brenna Lanser and Jataya Meyer each downed nine kills in the match while Jelissa Rozendaal had eight kills. Shiloh Cunningham racked up seven kills.

Putting down two kills each for the Hawks were

Fisk, Oliva Ritter and Camryn Russell. Cunningham and Fisk each put up one solo block at the net. Lanser and Ritter combined for a block.

Russell was perfect at the service line, 16-of-16, while Fisk went 17-of-19 and Lanser was 17-of-18.

Cunningham, Fisk and Skyler Young had two ace serves apiece, and Lanser had one ace serve.

Lynnville-Sully evened its SICL record to 3-3.

The Hawks improved to 9-6 overall. They host Tri-County at 5:30 p.m.

Monday in conference play.

English Valleys is 0-5 in SICL play and 0-13 overall.

No. 6 Houston rolls past UConn HOUSTON (AP) — Greg Ward Jr. threw for a career-high 389 yards and accounted for five touchdowns in just more than three quarters to help sixth-ranked Houston beat Connecticut 42-14 on Thursday night.

The victory was a bit of redemption for the Cougars, whose only blemish last season came in a 20-17 loss to the Huskies when they were 10-0.

“We never use the word revenge,” coach Tom Herman said. “The word we used was atonement — to make a wrong a right. We had a chance to atone for the transgressions of last year’s team.”

Ward didn’t start that game because of an ankle injury, and there was a scary moment early in the second quarter when he took a hard hit in the midsection by Junior Joseph on a flea-flicker and had to leave the

game.

But he missed just one play before returning and showed no ill effects from the blow, leading the Cougars (5-0, 2-0 American) on three more touchdown drives in the half to leave Houston up 28-7 at halftime.

Ward and Joseph got in each other’s faces after another hit by the linebacker on a touchdown throw

by Ward later in the second quarter, and it earned Joseph an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty.

Ward had touchdown runs of 30 and 10 yards and threw scoring passes of 3, 15 and 4 yards.

He was replaced by Kyle Postma with 12 minutes remaining.

Linell Bonner had a highlight-reel play when he stretched out to grab a reception with one hand for a touchdown that pushed Houston’s lead to 42-7 in the third quarter.

NCMP Continued from Page 1B 100 backstroke races. She placed second in the backstroke and third in the butterfly.

The official times were not available for presstime.

Morgan Altman also had personal-best times at the meet in the 200 individual medley and the 500 freestyle races. Sarah Urias placed fourth in the 200 IM with personal-best time,

Patterson said.

“Freshman Courtney Dawson continues to impress us with her grit and determination,” Patterson said. “She placed third in the 500 freestyle and turned in fast splits in both the 200 freestyle relay and 400 freestyle relay — 28.77 and 1:05.20, respectively.”

Patterson said freshmen Molly Coy and Emma Thomas each won two junior varsity events.

Coy captured wins in the 200 individual medley and the 100

backstroke while Thomas won the 200 and 500 freestyle races.

NCMP won every junior varsity race on Thursday.

“We are looking forward to a stretch without meets next week to really focus on training and letting our bodies rest a little,” Patterson said.

NCMP is idle until Oct. 11 when it competes at Boone.

Americans need short memory in the Ryder Cup CHASKA, Minn. (AP) — ​ The American Ryder Cup team could use what might be Dustin Johnson’s greatest asset in golf.

Not his power off the tee.

His short memory.

“Or no memory,” Johnson said with a smile.

Johnson remarkably managed to shake off one disappointment after another in the majors — the 82 at Pebble Beach, the bunker blunder at Whistling Straits, the 2-iron out-of-bounds at Royal St. George’s, the three-putt at Chambers Bay — until he won the U.S. Open this summer at Oakmont.

The Americans have accrued little more than scar tissue against Europe. That’s why U.S. captain Davis Love III has preached all week at Hazeltine that this team, which only has two rookies, has never played together. That it’s time for a new start.

No need to bring up that Europe has won six of the last seven times, and eight of the last 10 dating to 1995. No need to stew over the last time the Ryder Cup was held at home and the Americans blew a 10-6 lead on the final day at Medinah, the most crushing loss in two decades filled with defeats.

“In golf, it’s one sport — and maybe being a defensive back in the NFL — you need to have a short memory,” Johnson said Thursday. “So we haven’t talked about Medinah at all. We’re looking forward to this week and these matches and this first session we have coming

up tomorrow morning. No talk about Medinah.”

The 41st Ryder Cup gets started Friday with foursomes matches, and the opening game might set the tone: Olympic gold medalist Justin Rose and British Open champion Henrik Stenson against Jordan Spieth and Patrick Reed. Neither partnership has lost a Ryder Cup match.

They will be followed by: Rory McIlroy and Andy Sullivan against Phil Mickelson and Rickie Fowler; Sergio Garcia and Martin Kaymer against PGA champion Jimmy Walker and Zach Johnson; and Lee Westwood and Thomas Pieters against Dustin Johnson and Matt Kuchar.

That will be followed by fourballs Friday afternoon.

The Americans have not lost the opening session since 2006, when Europe had the better team at home in Ireland and sailed to a nine-point victory.

It’s sustaining the momentum over three days of nonstop action that has been the problem.

Love acknowledged that as much during his radio interview in which he referred to his squad as “the best golf team maybe ever assembled.” That conversation started over the Americans needing more swagger, and Love conceded that when matches turn in Europe’s favor, the Americans tend to play not to lose.

Even with Europe dominating, the pressure still falls to the Americans.

They created a Ryder Cup Task Force to develop a plan geared toward bringing out their best golf. They brought Love back as captain, giving him a chance at redemption from the meltdown at Medinah.

They changed the way they built their team, waiting until Sunday to add the fourth and final captain’s pick in Ryan Moore.

Westwood, playing in his 10th straight Ryder Cup for Europe, took that as a compliment.

“It’s very flattering to Team Europe that the USA have put this task force together and are trying to replicate what we’ve done,” he said. “It means we are successful and we are doing it right. We take a lot of pride in that. Gives us a lot of confidence and puts added pressure on them. You form a task force and it doesn’t go right this week, where do you go from there? You’ve done pretty much all you can do.

“So we’ll see how that goes.”

Europe counters with six Ryder Cup rookies, one of them already feeling more heat than usual. Masters champion Danny Willett came under scrutiny when his brother wrote a column for a British outlet bashing the American fans. Willett met with Love to explain that was his brother’s comments, not any feelings from the European players, and there was concern that the Minnesota fans would let Willett hear about it.

The American apology came from Mickelson.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You need more than the usual amount of rest now to recharge and heal the daily wear and tear that affects your body and mind. There’s no need to feel guilty for sleeping in, napping or turning in early.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

You seldom make promises or pacts, but today there’s something you might enjoy promising, and there’s an equally enjoyable demand the other person would, in turn, request of you.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

You feel where someone is coming from, and then stay one step ahead of the game.

You’re an expert at figuring out the motives of complicated characters.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Sincerity may not be the flashiest of qualities, but it’s high on your list of attractive qualities in a loved one these days.

Knowing whom you can trust and feeling the truth of that person’s affection will bring comfort and delight now.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). What you want will cause a rub with what someone else wants, and the power dynamic will be worked out in interesting ways.

What happens will be as much about your will as it is about the politics of the situation.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll be accused of generosity, thoughtfulness, amazing selflessness. None of this rings true to you. You think of your loved ones all of the time; it only follows that you would want to spoil them.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Determination is a talent in and of itself, and today, it combines with another one of your talents, making you absolutely indomitable. Most will respect your top status without challenge.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18).

They trust you because you do as you say you will when it matters -- and when it doesn’t.

Big and small matters get the same level of integrity from you. None of your words are too inconsequential to honor.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

You’re excellent company because you take responsibility for and pay attention to all of the signals zinging back and forth between you, your environment and everyone within it.
