By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News Newton students in DMACC’s court reporting program have heard from guest speakers before, but Thursday’s presentation was unique.

The students at DMACC, who are enrolled in the only court reporting program in Iowa, heard from Toni Christy, an Iowa native who took stenography classes at AIB years ago while living in Adel. She’s gone on to work for ASAP Sports, and she’s typed out text onto a screen at all types of events over the past several years, from Major League Baseball to the NBA. The main story Christy related to the 30 listeners in her classroom talk Thurs-

day was about her “15 minutes of fame.” Wisconsin men’s basketball player Nigel Hayes singled her out during a press conference at NCAA tournament games in Omaha in March, then later came over to see how her stenography machine worked.

“I didn’t pay much attention to the play-

ers, even after they leaped chairs to see how the machine works,” Christy said. “I figured they would get bored with it quickly. But then, the next thing I knew, I looked up, there were media photographers and the coach (Bo Ryan) gathered all around.”

The moment was captured by a Wiscon-

sin TV station, as well as video and photos posted to the Badgers’ official social media pages, and she was later the focus of an ESPN feature story. Christy was soon deluged by contacts from family, friends and colleagues, teasing her about how she had “gone viral.”

The restroom at Maytag park is proposed to be near the southeast corner of the large parking lot. The restroom would allow a closer bathroom facility for guests at the Fred Maytag Bowl and those using the log cabin and Kiwanis shelter.

At Woodland Park, the proposed location is near the shelter. In the past, a portable toilet has been used at the park.

The restrooms selected are pre-manufactured vault style with solar powered fans. That style was picked because of the lack of sanitary sewer service near the areas.

According to Beth Soholt, executive director of the trade orga-

nization Wind on the Wires, knows there has already been much discussion about challenging the Clean Power Plan in court.

“Most experts expect the Clean Power Plan Final Rule to reach the (U.S.) Supreme Court, eventually,” Soholt said.

“By then states will have filed State Implementation Plans with the EPA, and will be into implementation. Even states that are joining lawsuits are going ahead and creating a SIP, because if a state

A Colfax man is facing numerous charges in both Poweshiek and Jasper County after allegedly stealing a motorcycle and leading officers on a chase Thursday.

Anthony K. Dommer, 25, was transported to the hospital after losing control of his motorcycle during the chase.

Early Thursday morning, the Colfax Police Department responded to a residence in regard to a stolen motorcycle. At approximateDommer ly 5:07 a.m., the motorcycle was located in Newton and police attempted to make a traffic stop, which led to a pursuit out of the city. The Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office, along with the Iowa State Patrol, pursued the motorcyclist, which was later identified as Dommer, and were later assisted by the Grinnell Police Department and the Poweshiek County Sheriff ’s Office.

Near the intersection of Highway F17 and 60th Street in Poweshiek County, Dommer lost control and rolled into the ditch. Dommer then fled on foot into a corn field. A perimeter was established with all agencies involved in the pursuit.

The Poweshiek County Sheriff ’s Office made contact with all residents in the area to keep watch for him. The Iowa State Patrol brought in two aircrafts — one with a thermal imaging system.

After sunrise, officers began walking the field along with the K-9 unit from the Poweshiek County Sheriff ’s Office. A short time later Dommer was found and transported to Grinnell Regional Hospital.

He was released from the hospital and transported to the Poweshiek County Jail.

The investigation is ongoing.

State Supreme Court session at NHS will give students rare glimpse at government Warren County Case to be heard Oct. 14 in Newton

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News The state supreme court doesn’t always make headlines.

Any casual reference to “the” Supreme Court is usually about the federal one in Washington, D.C. However, state supreme courts rule each year on a number of prominent issues regarding state constitutional issues. The Iowa State Supreme Court periodically travels to hear cases at locations outside Des Moines, and is coming to Newton High School to hear a case on Oct. 14.

The oral arguments in a case will take place in front of the public, on the Newton High School Center for Performance stage. The seven justices will hear the case “Hutchison, et al. v Warren County Board of Supervisors, et al,” which will address open meetings law topics.

NHS government teacher Ashley Carter said the unique event will be informative for her students and many others.

“This is a great opportunity for the kids in government class — and the community alike — to become familiar with and understand how the Iowa Supreme Court system works,” Carter said.

“It’s great for the kids to get some real-life experience and hear these oral arguments.”

In the case that will be argued, former county employees contend that the Warren County Board of Supervisors violated Iowa’s open meetings law detailed in Iowa Code Chapter 21 — when individual supervisors met separately with the county administrator. The administrator, serving as a go-between, deliberated on a proposed restructuring of the county workforce.

The district court determined there was no open meetings violation, because there was no gathering of a majority of supervisors.

Warren County’s board has three supervisor spots, just like Jasper County, and the administrator — in this case — met with supervisors individually each time.

A question before the Supreme Court is whether “walking quorums” or “serial communications” constitute a “gathering” within the definition of “meeting” in Iowa’s open meetings law.

supreme court justices will follow the oral arguments in the Newton High School indoor commons.

Last year, the justices traveled to Iowa City to hear two days of oral arguments.

Iowa’s State Supreme Court has heard a number of high-profile cases through the years.

One of the court’s best-known decisions in recent years was Varnum v. Brien, where a same-sex couple obtained a marriage license and married before initial ruling was stayed. The April 3, 2009 decision paved the way to make Iowa the fourth state in the U.S. to effectively legalize samesex marriage, and it made Iowa the first state to do so by means of a state Supreme Court decision.

Attorneys’ briefs for the cases and a guide to oral arguments are posted here: bit.ly/1YOIuxd Carter couldn’t ask for a better type of hands-on lesson to fall into a social studies teacher’s own backyard.

“We are grateful that Newton was chosen as a venue,” Carter said. “I am excited for the learning that is about to happen because of this awesome event.”

What I’ve learned from weight loss

By Kate Malott Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Oct. 2, 2015

Weight loss is easy — it’s just going for ice cream once a week instead of three, selecting frozen yogurt instead of ice cream, getting a small instead of a medium, oh and walking there instead of driving, and making similar choices almost every morning, noon and night.

It’s actually not that easy, but it is doable.

I lost more than 40 pounds in the last year by committing to a change in both diet and exercise.

I’ve learned new habits from losing weight, but it wasn’t the end that taught me anything. It was the means to the end that has been the most rewarding. If I’ve learned anything at all, it’s that there is no end — that’s a crash diet.

Commit to a goal — Lots of people aim to lose weight but gain it back. It’s almost inevitable, at least that’s what people think. I vowed to not make that my story. Thankfully, I’ve been able to lose and maintain

that but the only reason is due to pure commitment to my sustained success and goals. I’ve worked too hard to slip now.

Committing to making healthier choices than not, and to saying “no,” is probably the first skill you need for longevity in a healthier lifestyle. If you need advice, its to truly commit to your goals. Say “yes” to many luxuries but commit to saying “no” more often too. Turning down instant gratification for a long term goal will not only lead to success but also gratification.

Discipline after defeat — Defeat is inevitable, unless you’re the 1980 Newton Cardinals, but the key to overcoming is how you handle defeat. In that time, you have to keep looking forward. That is where discipline comes into play.

When you have a bad series of days, you must remind yourself to get back on track and remain disciplined.

A month ago, I ate terribly for

about four days straight. I had given in to all my temptations and cravings, and I could have just continued to make poor eating decisions like I would have in years past. But I didn’t.

Discipline takes practice. Remember perfection is impossible, so don’t worry about defeat but focus on success and remain disciplined even after a period of indulgence.

Patience is a virtue — There’s the saying that “nothing worth having comes easy,” which couldn’t apply more to weight loss. Results don’t happen overnight so you must learn to love yourself in patience. It’s a beautifully organic process.

When you start your change, you’re excited and commitment comes easy, but after awhile, you start to question the likelihood that you will change the way you want. Give yourself a chance.

Give your body a chance. Give your brain the time it needs to establish new habits.

Don’t forget your purpose — Reminding yourself why you want to change is a big part of continuing a healthy lifestyle. If your purpose is shallow, the results will be too.

Although my desired numerical goal has yet to be achieved, I’m very happy with what I’ve done. The purpose of my change and the desired goal is to simply eat nutritiously and move often for the rest of my capable life.

Reaching small weight loss goals along the way has taught me more about who I am than ever before, and it’s important to remain grateful and optimistic. It’s not easy, but change is possible and a necessity to progression. The scary part is, you are the only one in control and you’re the only who can decide who you want to be.

Decide to be healthy and go be it.

Smoke alarms: an important part of fire safety If I asked you where your smoke alarms are in your home, could you tell me? If you’re like many people, you may not pay much attention to where smoke alarms have been installed.

However, location matters when it comes to smoke alarms.

By Mike Knoll S m o k e NFD Fire Marshal alarms should be installed inside each bedroom, outside each sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement.

Working smoke alarms are a critical fire-safety tool that can mean the difference between life and death in a home fire. According to the nonprofit National Fire Protection Association, smoke alarms can cut the chance of dying in a home fire in half.

Meanwhile, NFPA data shows that home fires killed 2,755 people in 2013, an average of eight people every day that year. Many

of these deaths could have been prevented with the proper smoke alarm protection.

As a member of the fire service for 20 years, I’ve seen the devastating effects of fire firsthand; the burn injuries, the loss of homes and possessions are distressing. What’s even worse is witnessing a family’s anguish after a loved one has been killed in a fire. It’s heartbreaking.

As the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week, Oct. 4-10 NFPA is promoting “Hear the Beep Where You Sleep. Every Bedroom Needs a Working Smoke Alarm!” to better educate the public about the true value of working smoke alarms in the bedroom. In support of these efforts, Newton Fire Department will be hosting local campaign activities throughout the week.

My sincere hope is that all Newton residents will make sure there are working smoke alarms installed throughout their homes. These simple steps can help make a life-saving difference, and prevent the potentially life-threatening impact of fire.

Here are additional smoke

alarm tips to follow: • Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleeping area and on every level of the home, including the basement.

• Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home.

When one sounds, they all sound.

• Test alarms each month by pushing the test button.

• Replace all smoke alarms, including alarms that use 10year batteries and hard-wired alarms, when they are 10 year old or sooner if they do not respond properly.

• Make sure everyone in the home knows the sound and understands what to do when they hear the smoke alarm.

One by one the Republicans are falling away.

First it was Rick “Oops” Perry. Maybe the former Te x a s governor hoped his new hor nrimmed glasses would m a k e him look s m a r t - By Donald Kaul er after his flop in 2012. Alas, he still became the first of the 2016 candidates to walk the plank, taking his 1 percent of Republican voters with him.

Then it was Wisconsin governor Scott Walker, who started out as the front-runner in the Republican race — at least in Iowa. The high point of his campaign was his comment that he could deal with Islamic militants because he’d bested the public employees union in Wisconsin. His openness to building a wall along the Canadian border was a close second.

I also loved his withdrawal speech: “Today I believe I’m being called to lead by helping clear the field,” he rationalized. “I encourage other Republican candidates to consider doing the same.”

I’m not sure how much clearing you can do when you’re polling less than 1 percent. Every little bit helps, I suppose.

Then John Boehner of Ohio announced that he was out too, resigning not only as speaker of the House but from Congress altogether. He said it was for the good of the party.

So that’s the trend: If you want to save the Republican Party, give up your job. It makes a great campaign slogan: “You can’t fire us, we quit.”

Who’s next in this deadly game of musical chairs?

I don’t know, but as a patriotic American who wants only the best for his country, I believe there are three logical candidates: Donald Trump, Carly Fiorina, and Ben Carson.

Yes, I know, they’re the

ones leading the polls.

That’s part of the problem.

The Republican base, at least as reflected in the primaries, is a strange group, bordering on weird.

It’s not just against big government. It’s against all government. It seeks to elect people without any idea of what it takes to make a government function.

Trump, Fiorina, and Carson are perfect for that job. They’re not politicians and they brag about it.

They shouldn’t. Of all the possible attributes a president should have — knowledge, honesty, empathy — I would put “political skill” above all the others.

All of our great and good presidents have had it, from Abe Lincoln to FDR to Bill Clinton.

Even Ronald Regan, a vastly overrated president in my opinion, was an effective president because he was a good politician.

You can argue that Barack Obama’s chief failing, in fact — particularly in the early days of his presidency — was that he was a lousy politician. He’s better now, but it’s late in the game.

The looming shutdown of our government

by Republican crazies is part of that relentless contempt of government that informs their philosophy.

Boehner’s resignation expedited a short-term deal to keep the government running until he’s left the scene. But the issue will be back, maybe as soon as December.

Were it in my power to do so, I would let them shut it down. However, I wouldn’t accept the limited, “no pain” shutdown that we’ve experienced in the past. We close the National Parks, big deal.

I would shut everything down — air traffic control, the postal system, all federal workers, government construction projects, research, border patrols, food stamps, Social Security — everything but a skeletal defense structure and continuing medical research whose interruption might kill patients.

THE BORN LOSER

FAMILY CIRCUS

www.newtondailynews.com | Friday | Oct. 2, 2015

Caregivers for sick pets also deserve respite from stress DEAR ABBY: Our family dog recently passed away after a year-long decline. I had grown up with him. He had reached the point where he needed daily care for his body, even though his mind was 100 percent there. Near the end, things got very bad. I got only about four hours of broken sleep a night caring for him, and no one in the family would help me. During part of his daily care routine, he had a second accident all over the freshly cleaned floor. I lost it and hit him.

He’s gone now, and I can barely live with myself. When I think about it, I get nauseated and dry-heave. I literally hate myself. In my book, exhaustion doesn’t give anyone the right to do what I did. I’m old enough to know better. This makes me want to change my life plans and never have another pet or have children — just in case.

Am I right? — LOWLIFE IN THE USA DEAR “LOWLIFE”: Please accept my sympathy for the loss of your beloved furry friend. While what happened is regrettable, you are wrong to beat yourself up the way you are.

There is something called “caregiver burnout,” which I’m advising you to research. When caregivers are stressed and sleep-deprived, mental health advisers urge them to find respite care for their patient. Lack of sleep can cause people to react badly.

If your family had been more supportive and you had had proper rest, you probably would not have snapped.

What happened does not mean you are doomed to repeat this with another pet or a child.

DEAR ABBY: I have a daughterin-law I would like to get to know.

“Karla” and my son have been married for four years. My dilemma is texting.

Karla refuses to carry on conversations on the phone or in person. Everything has to be texted. When I have explained to her that I wanted to get

to know her better and felt that texts were impersonal, she claimed that they are all she has time for between working and taking care of the children.

I don’t mind watching the children; I’d just like to know a day in advance unless it’s an emergency. Abby, she is rude, disrespectful and treats me like a servant rather than a family member.

Am I wrong to expect non-emergency things to be scheduled in advance, or is it acceptable to text and say, “Hey, I need you to watch the kids. Be here at noon”? — HURT FEELINGS DEAR HURT FEELINGS: No, you’re not wrong. The next time you receive a text like the one you quoted, send one back that says, “Not available then — need more warning. Ask sooner next time.”

DEAR ABBY: I am blessed to be 70 years old and have few problems.

Your column today got me wondering about something. You answered, “For Pete’s sake...” to a question. I just wondered, who is Pete? I have heard the expression all my life and am just curious. — DALE IN THE SOUTH DEAR DALE: That’s a good question, because I didn’t know where the phrase came from either. “For Pete’s sake” is a mild oath. According to my online research, it’s a cleanedup version of what was originally “For Christ’s sake.”

Iowan fined after boa snake escapes

4 School bus with 32 students rolls over after being struck

1

THORNTON — A boa constrictor that escaped its cage and slithered down the block has cost its owner $50 in northern Iowa. Kevin Becker, 38, pleaded guilty Wednesday and was fined for keeping a dangerous animal in Thornton. A retired Iowa Natural Resources Department officer saw the snake in a yard a block or two from Becker’s home on Sept. 16. The retired officer grabbed it, put it in his pickup and called the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff ’s Office.

IOWA CITY — The bulk of Iowa’s jump in mumps cases has been reported at the University of Iowa campus in Iowa City. The state Public Health Department says 50 cases of mumps have been reported in Iowa this year — 30 of them on the University of Iowa campus.

CEDAR RAPIDS — The Iowa Department of Public Safety’s Division of Criminal Investigation is investigating after a trooper shot at a vehicle that struck a squad car.

Man, daughter team up to save neighbors from fire DUBUQUE — Authorities say a Dubuque man and his 11-year-old daughter combined to save two neighbors from a fire.

Hentges says he ran over and found a woman and her young daughter in a bedroom full of flames. He rescued both.

Newton City Council to discuss tennis court resurfacing

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News The Newton City Council is set to discuss the resurfacing of the tennis courts at Aurora Park at its Monday meeting. The existing asphalt pavement for the six courts is old, cracking and in need of replacement.

The tennis courts were identified as needing to be resurfaced during the capital improvement project discussions prior to the 2015-2016 budget approval process.

There were two options to fix the

courts. First, putting an overlay on the existing surface with new asphalt pavement and new colored acrylic surfacing material. The second was to place a suspended co-polymer “plastic” surface tile over the existing court surface.

Bids for the first options ranged from $30,800 to $35,400 while the second options only had one bid of $94,900. After speaking with the Newton High School tennis team, which uses the courts for practice and competition, the second option of the “plastic” tile surface would not meet the needs for competitive tennis. The

school district said it would not participate in helping to fund this type of court surface project.

City staff has decided to pursue the first option with an overlay of new asphalt pavement, and a new colored acrylic surfacing material. The city recommends a bid from Tennis Service of Iowa, LLC of Marion that totals $75,900. It is anticipated that the school district will pay for approximately half of the costs.

The purchase of a new ambulance is also on the agenda for the council.

The Newton Fire Department iden-

tified the ambulance as needing to be replaced during the bonding process with $160,000 set aside for the purchase of a new one.

The Fire Department Vehicle Committee worked with three vendors and in turn received three bids for the new ambulance. The city recommends using Lifeline Manufacturing who had the low bid of $158,900 and met the requirements set by the committee.

Kickland led the race most of the way as Webb would surge forward to pull even or just ahead then Kickland would regain a small lead.

With about 35 meters left in the race, Webb made her final move and stayed in front coming off the final turn.

“My endurance is strong, so I believed in myself to have the kick at the end to beat the girl next to me,” Webb said after Thursday’s home meet. “My legs were tired in the last 50 meters, but I just told myself not to hold back.”

Webb claimed first place in the 400 in 5 minutes, 8.80 seconds while Kickland finished second in 5:10.36. NCMP’s Kaelee Knoll placed third in 5:36.19.

The NCMP Aquagirls won seven of the 11 events in a home double dual with Atlantic and Williamsburg, which are both smaller swim teams. The Aquagirls defeated Atlantic 51-41 and posted an 83-11 win over Williamsburg.

For the first time this season, NCMP lost two relay races at home. According to the high school swimming

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News NCMP sophomore Madeline Webb stays within striking distance of an Atlanic swimmer late in the 400-meter freestyle race in Thursday’s home swim meet. Webb took the lead in the final 25 meters to win, helping the Aquagirls to a double sweep of dual action at the Newton YMCA.

Team Power Rankings on QuikStats Iowa, NCMP is 11th as a team. In the 200 and 400 freestyle relays, Atlantic has faster times than NCMP. “Atlantic could win the state in the 400 relay. They are super fast,” NCMP head coach Sarah Patterson said.

“It is a small team, but has some really good freestyle swimmers. We knew that coming into the meet.”

The Aquagirls opened with winning the 200 medley relay race with the foursome

of Sydney Jenkins, Hannah Rhoads, Samantha Hedrick and Alexis Stout in 2:10.95.

The NCMP team of Knoll, Webb, Lakin Jenkins and Jaclyn Michener finished third in 2:24.62.

Atlantic’s Mycala Kickland and McKenna Ewoldt finished first and second in the 200 freestyle and the 50 freestyle races. Sarah Prendergast touched the wall in a third-place time of 2:28.04 in the 200 and Emily Miller was fourth in 2:33.73.

Stout and Jessica Zahn

went 1-2 in the 200 individual medley in 2:47.98 and 2:57.21, respectively, for NCMP. In the 50 it was Knoll in third at 30.45 and Alexis DeVries in fourth at 32.12.

NCMP’s Rhoads claimed first in the 100 butterfly in 1:18.23 and Sierra Griffith was second in 1:20.77. Later in the meet, Griffith won the 100 breaststroke race in 1:24.39 and DeVries was third in 1:31.10.

Cardinals ready for Cardinal Invitational

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Newton High’s Cardinals have picked up momentum as they head into Saturday’s Newton High Cardinal Invitational volleyball tournament. The Cardinals have gone 6-3 over the span of a week.

The Cardinals are coming off an emotional, come-from-behind win at home against Grinnell. Newton won the final three sets of the best-of-five match to net its first win in Little Hawkeye Conference play since the 2013 season.

The Cardinals were winless in LHC in 2014.

“We’re going into it with a lot of confidence in ourselves as a team. We’re working to win it,” Newton senior libero Fran Lucas said. Lucas is ranked 11th in Class 4A for digs, leading the Cardinals with 219 digs.

Tuesday, Newton evened its overall record to 14-14 with the win over Grinnell. The Cardinals have doubled their match wins from a year ago.

Two other big factors for the Cardinals going into Saturday’s tournament are — Cardinal head coach Laura Sherratt will be back at the helm, and it is Dig Pink for breast cancer awareness.

Sherratt has not coached a match this season because of maternity leave. She said she would be coaching the Cardinal practice Friday and returns to coaching full-time Saturday.

Action begins Saturday at 8:30 a.m.

There are two four-team pools. Teams in Pool A, which are Newton, Des Moines North, Class 2A’s third-ranked Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont, and Boone, play in the NHS upper gym.

Pool B — Carlisle, Class 4A thirdranked Harlan, Class 4A 13th-ranked Pella and Ottumwa — will be in the NHS lower gym.

Admission is $6 for adults and $4 for students.

The top two teams in each pool advance to championship pool matches to be played in the upper gym. The bottom two teams in each pool advance to consolation pool play in the NHS lower gym.

There is a 30-minute break between the conclusion of pool play and start of championship-consolation round matches.

Harlan is going for its fifth consecutive Cardinal Invitational championship. Harlan beat EBF in last year’s championship match. Newton finished

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High senior libero Fran Lucas is ranked 11th in Class 4A for digs. Lucas leads the Cardinals with 219 digs this season. The Cardinals are going into Saturday’s NHS Cardinal Invitational with a full head of steam, winning six of their last nine matches.

sixth in the tournament a year ago.

Newton opens pool play against Des Moines North at 8:30 a.m. on court No. 1. The Cardinals take on EBF on court No. 2 in the second round then finish pool play against Boone on court No. 1.

Juniors Megan Pressgrove and Kaytlin Ahn lead the net attack for the Cardinals with 130 kills and 120 kills, respectively. Ahn had 10 solo blocks and nine assisted blocks while Pressgrove had put up three solo blocks and has 18 assisted blocks. Junior Morgan Allen has seven solo blocks and 24 assisted blocks.

Taylor Shipley, another junior, and Pressgrove lead the team in set assists.

Shipley is second to Pressgrove, who has 171, with 165 set assists. Shipley also has delivered 64 kills. Senior Emily Fitzgerald has 49 kills and senior Allison Ergenbright gas 13 block assists

and three solo blocks.

As a team, Newton is serving at a 79-percent clip and has 115 ace serves.

Pressgrove tops the ace serve list with 23 followed by Fran Lucas with 22, Ahn with 21, sophomore Audrey Lucas with 17 and Fitzgerald with 10. Senior Adrienne Bergman is the top server, going 79-of-85 at the service line for 93 percent and delivering six aces.

“We’re excited about Saturday’s tournament. We want to keep this momentum up,” Fran Lucas said, following Tuesday’s home win.

Fans are reminded it is Dig Pink and to wear pink to support the Cardinal volleyball team’s effort to raise funds for breast cancer awareness and its effort to win its home tournament.

Royals into playoffs again Playoffs? Are we talking about playoffs?

Sure, we’re talking playoffs for Major League Baseball.

I’ve just wondered why we use the word playoffs for the PGA’s FedEx Cup competition, which finished up last weekend with Jordan Spieth winning, or for N A S C A R ’ s By Jocelyn Sprint Cup Sheets Chase.

Nev- Newton Daily er thought of News those two sports Sports Editor with playoffs, unless in golf your referring to a playoff at the end of a tournament when golfers are tied.

Just an observation.

My worry for playoffs is how the Kansas City Royals sputtered through September and this final week of regular season play. They won a division title for the first time since 1985 — they were the American League West champions then — controlling the American League Central for much of the season.

Some out there believe the Royals peaked too soon this season, and they have nothing left for the playoffs this year.

Me? I’m a Royals fan — have been since 1969, do or die, win or lose — so, sure I believe in another playoff run.

In 2014, Kansas City proved any team can put together a strong run in the postseason.

It was a wild card team, winning on the road to reach the World Series. Now, the Royals have to show they are a divisional champion and defending American League champion by winning as the home team in much of the playoffs.

Home field advantage for the American League playoffs is still up in the air. Following Thursday night’s games, the Royals and American League East champion Toronto are tied. The Blue Jays lost and the Royals won, so they both have 92 victories. The Texas Rangers are leading the AL West but no division champion is determined. The New York Yankees clinched a wild card berth and Houston Astros are in the running for the AL West title or a wild card berth.

The National League is cutand-dried for the playoffs. Divisional champions are the New York Mets in the East, the St. Louis Cardinals in the Central and the Los Angeles Dodgers in the West. How about those Cubbies? The Chicago Cubs will play the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NL wild card game — that’s right the wild card teams play just one game, win or go home.

Playoffs for MLB begin Tuesday with the American League wild card game followed by the National League wild card game on Wednesday. The AL divisional playoffs begin Thursday and the NL divisional playoffs start Friday. The ALCS begins Oct. 16 and the first game of the NLCS is Oct. 17.

The 2015 World Series with home field advantage to the American League Champion is Oct. 27-Nov. 4.

Sure, I want the Royals to win it all. That’s what you want as a fan, right? As a lifer for the Royals, I’m just happy to see my guys in Blue playing competitive baseball again. They are relevant in the whole scheme of things in MLB again.

Remember to wear pink to Friday night’s Newton High football game and Saturday’s NHS volleyball tournament.

Ravens rally late, top rival Steelers in overtime PITTSBURGH (AP) — Josh Scobee couldn’t. Twice.

Justin Tucker could. Twice.

The big-legged Baltimore kicker hit a 42-yard field goal to tie the Pittsburgh Steelers in the final seconds of regulation and made a 52-yarder with 5:08 left in overtime to give the Ravens a 23-20 victory Thursday night.

Scobee had two chances to give the Steelers some cushion late in the fourth quarter only to pull both kicks wide left. The second miss gave the Ravens (1-3) enough time to put Scobee well within range to send the game to an extra period.

Pittsburgh then twice opted to go for it on fourth down in

Baltimore territory in overtime rather than send Scobee out for a long attempt into the tricky wind at the open end of Heinz Field. Michael Vick, starting in place of injured Ben Roethlisberger, was stopped on fourth-and-2 at the 39 and later overthrew Antonio Brown on fourth-and-1 from the 33.

Neither Vick or Scobee would get a third shot. Joe Flacco led the Ravens to the 35 and Tucker’s winner was never in doubt.

Justin Forsett ran for 150 yards for the Ravens. Flacco threw a touchdown pass and did just enough late to help Baltimore end the worst start in franchise history.

Vick threw for 124 yards

and a score and Le’Veon Bell ran for 129 yards and a touchdown by the Steelers (2-2) bumbled late.

For most of the night, it appeared Pittsburgh would survive with Roethlisberger relegated to a sweatsuit after spraining his left knee last week against St. Louis.

The Steelers sacked Flacco five times, forced a pair of turnovers and twice stopped the Ravens on fourth downs in the fourth quarter to seemingly seize control only to have Scobee let Baltimore back in it.

Scobee saw a 49-yard attempt sail wide with 2:24 to go. Pittsburgh forced a fourand-out only to watch Scobee flutter another one wide left

with a minute left.

It gave Flacco just enough wiggle room to force overtime.

Seven plays took the Ravens from the Baltimore 31 to the Pittsburgh 24, with Tucker drilling the 42-yarder to tie it with 3 seconds left.

Pittsburgh received an unexpected boost from cornerback Ross Cockrell, signed off the waiver wire at the end of the preseason.

Cockrell picked off Flacco to end one Baltimore drive in the second quarter and alertly scooped up a Flacco fumble early in the third that set up a 9-yard touchdown pass from Vick to Darrius Heyward-Bey as the Steelers took a 20-7 lead.

NASCAR photo Kevin Harvick, driver of the No. 4 Ditech Chevrolet, leads Denny Hamlin, driver of the No. 11 FedEx Freight Toyota, during the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series SYLVANIA 300 at New Hampshire Motor Speedway last Sunday in Loudon, N.H.

Harvick has title defense on line at Dover

By Dan Gelston AP Sports Writer With a NASCAR championship defense at stake, Kevin Harvick tried to spin Dover as just another race. He even compared the pressure ahead to a walk in the park.

Win at Dover and the backto-back bid is alive. Fall short, and Harvick likely could be relegated to a spoiler role for the rest of NASCAR’s playoffs.

Harvick has two wins and a series-best 18 top fives, but is mired at 15th in the 16-driver Chase for the Sprint Cup championship field. The Stewart-Haas Racing driver has gone from boom to bust in the Chase, finishing 42nd in the Chase opener at Chicagoland and 21st last week at New Hampshire.

Ahead is the concrete mile track at Dover where Harvick is 0-for-29.

“I like these types of situations,” Harvick said Thursday.

“I think they’re different and fun and it’s all in the approach

and how you react to them.”

Harvick has had the No. 4 Chevy up against the wall before — he was eighth out of eight teams and had to win last season at Phoenix International Raceway to advance into the championship finale.

He won the race, then won it all the next week when his second straight checkered flag gave him the highest finish among four championship drivers to earn the crown.

Under NASCAR’s playoff format, the bottom four drivers in the Chase field are eliminated after Dover. He’ll earn an automatic berth into the championship round with a victory.

Joe Gibbs Racing drivers Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth have secured the first two spots.

It was only three weeks ago when a confident Harvick said of the JGR drivers, “We’re going to pound them into the ground.”

So far Harvick has taken a beating on the track, and dished one out in the motor-

home. Harvick was unwilling on Thursday to discuss if he’s talked with Jimmie Johnson in the wake of their post-race skirmish at Chicagoland.

Kyle Busch, Paul Menard, Harvick and Clint Bowyer are the final four drivers on the brink of elimination.

They would advance with a victory, but Johnson stands at the No. 1 contender in their way at Dover, where he has a track-record 10 victories.

Harvick was runner-up to Johnson in May in the first Dover race. Good, though probably not good enough on Sunday.

The surprise isn’t that Harvick is in this precarious position because poor finishes can happen to any driver.

“I know the Gibbs guys are fast, but watching practice, he’s really embarrassing the (heck) out of everybody,” Chase driver Dale Earnhardt Jr. said Thursday. “It’s going to be a shame more than anything because he’s got the potential to win the whole thing.”

Back-and-forth match goes way of visiting Hawks

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Two of the top hitters in the South Iowa Cedar League tried to put their respective teams on their backs Thursday.

When Lynnville-Sully needed a point, the Hawks turned to junior Brenna Lanser, while Colfax-Mingo sophomore Ries Wilson carried the Tigerhawks most of the night.

The deciding factor in Lynnville-Sully’s five-set victory though was Lanser’s supporting cast. Wilson finished with 17 kills, but no other Tigerhawk player had more than three, while Lanser got plenty of help from Makenzy Rozendaal, Olivia Ritter and Shelby Foster.

Lanser finished with 14 kills and that led the Hawks to a 25-15, 22-25, 25-14, 2426, 15-6 win during an SICL match. It was Lynnville-Sully’s second straight five-set win and both matches were similar in how they started and finished.

“We’ve had that the last few matches. We win a few easily and then we just lose momentum for some reason,” Lynnville-Sully assistant coach Stacey James said.

“Luckily, we came out strong in the fifth.”

James was filling in for Hawk head coach Heather James, who left for California on a business trip Monday.

The loss was Colfax-Mingo’s second straight and the Tigerhawks have now lost seven of their last eight.

“We just didn’t play well in the first and third games. Our serve receive hurt us tonight,” Colfax-Mingo coach Michelle Grant said. “We have to do something we our serve receive. When we just get it back over the net, we get into a back and forth and we don’t come out on top in those situations enough.”

The Hawks dominated the first and third sets. And Lanser was right in the middle of both of them.

Troy Hyde/Daily News Lynnville-Sully’s Camryn Russell (9) and Brenna Lanser (21) attempt to alter an attack shot by Colfax-Mingo’s Aranda Woods (2) during the Hawks’ five-set win in Colfax on Thursday.

She scored back-to-back points, one on an ace, to give her squad an 11-5 lead couldn’t get closer than five the rest of the way.

“If we need points, she’s the go-to girl and she gets it done for us,” James said.

In the third set, Lynnville-Sully (8-6 overall, 5-2 in SICL) jumped out to a 7-1 lead, and Colfax-Mingo never recovered.

“She just had her way at the net, especially in the two first two sets they won,” Grant said of Lanser. “But if the passing had been better in the first and third games, it’s a different story.”

The Hawks were close to a sweep. They had their hosts on the ropes in the second set, breaking away from a 9-all match to go up 14-10.

Lynnville-Sully led 22-17, but Wilson refused to let her

team go away.

Wilson’s kill made it 2218, but then she stepped behind the service line and helped her Tigerhawks (4-10, 2-5) rally for the win. She had three aces during that stretch, including two on the final two points of the set. Wilson had four aces on the night.

“It’s all about her confidence. She hit the net, and they still went over and that gave her come confidence during that last stretch in game two,” Grant said.

“When she gets going, she can go on all night.”

Colfax-Mingo nearly lost a big lead in game four.

The Tigerhawks broke open a 10-7 lead with six straight points. A trio of Lanser kills kept the Hawks close and her ace rallied them back from a 23-18 deficit.

The ace tied the match at

23-all, and Rozendaal’s kill gave the Hawks set point.

Wilson though responded again, scoring three straight points to give the Tigerhawks a 26-24 win.

Colfax-Mingo failed to maintain the momentum in the final set though. While the set was close in the first 10 points, Lynnville-Sully pulled away with seven straight points.

Kristen Van Der Wilt ended the 7-0 spurt with three consecutive aces.

Aranda Woods and Megan Earles recorded a pair of kills to keep the set alive, but Lanser tip and a Tigerhawk error finished the win off for Lynnville-Sully.

Earles finished with 22 assists and 12 digs for Colfax-Mingo, while Mackensie Brown had 18 digs and five aces.

Shaylee Shedenhelm had

Aquagirls Continued from Page 1B “We had a tough week of practice, and I was sore and tired, but all of us were,” Griffith said. “I just worked through it and went for it.

We’re close as a team and are having a lot of fun together.”

Hedrick pulled away from the field in the 100 freestyle to win in 1:02.12 and teammate Elizabether Myers placed third in 1:07.99. Sydney Jenkins did the same in the 100 backstroke, winning in 1:13.76 and Prendergast was third in 1:18.95.

“Madeline stayed right on that girl’s shoulder during the 400 and did not give up. She swam an aggressive final 50 meters,” Patterson said. “Sierra had a great breaststroke race and Sydney pushed through being tired to swim well in the backstroke.”
