Iowa Speedway to host charity bicycle ride Annie’s Ride is Saturday throughout Jasper County

Hundreds of families and other spectators have been coming to Newton each year since 2011, and the 2017 pageant is set for this weekend.

Miss Iowa USA returns to Newton High School Pageant scheduled for upcoming weekend

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News One of the state’s most prestigious beauty pageants will take place at the Newton High School Center for Performance for the sixth consecutive year.

The 2017 Miss Iowa USA and Miss Iowa Teen USA pageants are slated to be held at NHS this weekend. Preliminaries are at 8 p.m. Saturday and the finale begins at 4 p.m. Sunday.

The event is one of the biggest of the year in terms of bringing people from all corners of the state into Newton. Many of the pageant’s arrangements have historically been handled by the Newton Convention and Visitors Bureau.

The Miss Iowa USA and Miss Iowa Teen USA pageants are the official state preliminary pageants to the national pageants.

The young women crowned last year in Newton — Miss Iowa USA, Alissa Morrison of Davenport, and Miss Teen Iowa USA, Hannah Bockhaus of Tripoli — advanced to compete in their respective national-level competitions this summer, although neither one made the top 15.

The state competitions held in Newton are the signature event for Future Productions, which

is the licensed producer. Libby Watkins, who is the pageant’s assistant director for Future Productions, said there is one major change to the Miss Teen USA format this year.

“You may have seen this summer that the teen portion of the competition made national news as the Miss Universe Organization eliminated the swimwear competition for the teens,” Watkins said. “They will now compete in Active Wear, accounting for one-third of the overall score.

The Miss USA contestants will still compete in swimwear.”

Watkins said Annette West, Linda Bacon and Sue Beukema are the people she’s talked to in Newton, helping coordinate this large-scale event.

A charity bicycle ride, which will feature the Iowa Speedway and benefit the Mercy Ruan Neurology Clinic, is headed to Newton.

Annie’s Ride is made up of three routes, from 10 miles to 80 miles, that will bring cyclists throughout Jasper County starting at 11 a.m. Saturday at the Iowa Speedway and until conclude with a concert by Des Moines-based band The Nadas.

Started by Chris Andrews, Annie’s Ride is a way to say thank you and support the Mercy Ruan Neurology Clinic, which has made a big impact on

Andrew’s life. Andrew’s sister, Annie, was diagnosed in 1998 in her early 20s with Multiple Sclerosis and started the endless battle of treating the unpredictable disease.

Annie’s diagnosis took a turn for the worse in early 2014 when she started having seizures.

She was unable to care for her family or herself and at one time spend 194 days in the hospital.

“At times she was completely incapacitated and experienced a complete loss of virtually all body functions including her ability to eat or swallow, breathe and even blink her eyes,” Andrews said.

“Although she was told many times that she would never live alone, never walk again and never ever care for her daughter, she has done all of these things.”

For those in need Online clown threats cause some concern to Newton residents

NPD: Threats likely a copycat of national trend Newton Daily News The Newton Police Department posted a statement online about clown threats Friday afternoon which has alarmed many local residents. However, there have been no incidents or clown sightings to-

day, lieutenant Bill Henniger said Friday.

The statement on the Newton school resource office Facebook page said: “Parents, please be aware that we have received several complaints about a Facebook group made by a bunch

of clowns that have made inappropriate comments and threats towards others. While the Police Department believes these comments to be a hoax, we will be stepping up our patrols around the schools to ensure student and staff safety.”

A few Newton High School students, who supposedly received threats from a clown group on Facebook, informed their SRO Brian Foster about the threats which caused concern among parents as well.

Improved streets, signage help meet city goal

More than a dozen churches raised money for the event which supports the local Salvation Army and other county food pantries. Bev Clark Floss, center, from St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church and United Congregational Church, center, and Rochelle Dungan, from St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church also walk at the three-mile path.

Current road reconstruction and repair highlight work that is being done throughout the city to make it safer for those living here.

City of Newton Senior Analyst Natalie Umsted shared additional work done throughout the community to city council at a monthly update on the four essential purposes of the city’s action plan.

Work on South Second Avenue

and North Fourth Avenue West is currently underway. Both streets will be wider upon completion with new sidewalks and lighting.

Umsted also spoke about the increase in new street signs that have recently been brought before the council. Adding signage to uncontrolled intersection is a part of the city’s objective for making a safer community by providing a safe transportation network that is well-maintained.

In Brief Fareway golf tournament raises $78K for MDA The sixth annual Fareway Stores MDA Golf Classic raised more than $78,000 for MDA of Iowa, making it the best year yet for the annual tournament held at the Tournament Club of Iowa.

“The annual golf classic is just another way Fareway and our vendor partners can help MDA in their fight to work towards finding a cure for muscle-debilitating diseases,” said Frederick Greiner, Fareway president and chief operating officer.

The money raised at the event helps fund research on muscular dystrophy and a stateof-the-art care center at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics and helps send kids to MDA Summer Camp.

Baxter Wellness Center reopens with new look, equipment

By Alex Olp Jasper County Tribune BAXTER — The wellness center inside Baxter Community School has taken on a new look with updated exercise machines, televisions, tinted glass and a paint job. All of that was on display during a recent open house event.

The open house was a part of a fitness weekend which also included a 5K run/walk, a kids 1K, a lunch bike ride to Mingo along the Chichaqua Valley Trail and a softball tournament fundraiser Sunday.

“It’s just like a whole fall into fitness weekend to get people out and motivated,” said Gennypher Popenhagen, the chairperson of the wellness center fundraising committee.

The open house allowed the public to see the new exercise equipment — treadmills, bikes, ellipticals, etc. — for the first time since the renovation began a week prior.

A few old machines are still available for use at the center.

One feature that was a major talking point at the open house was the new paint job. The walls, which were gray, are now bright green creating more of a lively atmosphere. A motivating phrase has also been painted on the west wall from the hands of elementary principal Josh

Russell. The words read “When you feel like quitting remember why you started.”

“When we looked at colors, we looked at greens and the yellows.

The brighter colors are for cardio, and I think the greens and the grays really work well with each other,” Popenhagen said.

“And then I sent out an email to our committee members to pick one of two quotes on there and literally everybody picked this quote.”

A second phrase is soon to be painted on a smaller wall along the east side of the room. The phrase is yet to be determined so the committee asked the public for recommendations using a suggestion box Saturday, and the winning quote will be placed on the wall.

Mary Jo West, an avid user of the wellness center, went to the open house and was excited about the newer and brighter look, but showed even more excitement about the efficiency of the machines.

“This is really going to perk things up around here. I think more people will come and everything will get used well,” said West, who is also a committee member. “I think these (machines) will be easier to use, and I think the emergency off features on these are great, because our older ones you could really fall off

and hurt yourself.”

Also on hand was a representative from 2nd Wind Exercise Equipment, the Ankeny-based company where the equipment was purchased. Representative Kyle Mitchell walked around the center for hours answering questions from the public and demonstrating the brand new machines.

“With any new equipment a lot of times people

“With any new equipment, a lot of times people get intimated. Some of these machines are so simple that they literally have a green button to go and red button to stop.”

get intimidated,” Mitchell said. “Some of these machines are so simple that they literally have a green button to go and red button to stop, so it’s pretty straight forward. A lot of manufacturers try to make equipment very approachable so a customer,

even someone who’s pretty intimidated, can get on these pretty quickly.”

Other additions community members showed approval of were the brand new televisions hanging above the treadmills, and the tinted windows facing State Street.

More than $40,000 of fundraised and donated money was used to complete the renovation, but that was only phase one.

“We want to start working on phase two.

Nothing is 100 percent, but we’re trying to get some classes like maybe a kickboxing class that we can do in the wrestling room,” Popenhagen said. “Definitely weights have been brought up more than once, but it’s a whole liability issue so we’re back and forth on that, but we definitely don’t want to stop with just this. There’s always a second phase and I think the classes being offered to the community are really going to help.”

The wellness center was open and unlocked the rest of the weekend so even non-members could swing by and check out the newly updated facility.

Report: Female nonprofit execs paid less than men Business Record A new report by Guidestar shows that female nonprofit executives make less than men at every budget level.

In its 2016 Nonprofit Compensation Report, its 16th edition, the annual study uses data from 96,242 Form 990s to create a comprehensive snapshot of the nonprofit sector’s compensation practices. It breaks down compensation using several metrics.

The gap is relatively small at organizations with revenues less than $250,000, and scales up as revenues increase, reported NonProfitPRO. Organizations with revenues of greater than $50 million had the largest pay gap, with female executives making, on average, nearly $100,000 less than men.

Local & State News who competed in 2014, has been the only Jasper County contestant in the five years Newton has hosted the competition.

The pageant consists of three equally scored areas of competition: evening gown, active wear and interview. Eligible contestants must be between the ages of 14 and 26 and be unmarried residents of Iowa who have never given birth in order to compete in the pageant.

Hotels, restaurants and gas stations are among the beneficiaries of the event — about 1,000 visitors came to Newton for the 2014 competitions. Estimates state the pageant generated hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue for the local economy.

Shades of fall

ditor’s Note: This column originally published Oct. 5, 2015.

Fall really is the best time of year.

It’s time to break out the light jackets, fleece coats and watch the world change colors. There is a certain smell in the air when autumn rolls around. It’s crisp and fresh, and I always take the time to enjoy it.

Autumn means a lot of things to me.

Farmers are out in the field, harvesting their crops for which they have spent months nurturing in order to reach its fullest potential yield. Fresh apples are being picked from the tree and made into delicious treats. I had my first fresh apple pie of the season last week. Hot apple cider will be a must for me at some point.

Pumpkin flavored everything is back from lattes to scented candles. It’s a surefire indicator that autumn has arrived.

It also means the best holidays are

In the Neighborhood Pam Rodgers almost here. Halloween is always fun; although I rarely don a costume these days. Thanksgiving will always be a favorite. Food, family and friends are the best combination. It’s too early to discuss Christmas, but we do anyway. Autumn really is one big preview to the holidays of happiness and cheer.

Fall marks the beginning of postseason baseball. MLB has a long season, but it all pays off by this time of year. Luckily, my Yankees have secured a playoff bid this year and notched their 10,000th franchise win. It’s such a big accomplishment for such a storied team.

The thing I enjoy most about fall is watching football. Once the temperature starts dropping, that’s when it really starts to feel like football season. The Iowa Hawkeyes are my team and so far it’s been a fun start to the season especially

after Saturday’s upset win over Wisconsin.

I had the opportunity to attend the last two home games, and they could not have been more different. Both had me on my feet and cheering.

For the Pittsburg game, I kind of lucked into my ticket. My dad and brother have season tickets; however, my brother had to attend his friend’s wedding that Saturday, and he kindly let me have his seat. It was a nice father-daughter game day outing.

My dad is an old football coach, and it’s always fun sitting next to him at the game. He sees the game differently. I have picked up a little of the lingo over the years, but nothing compared to dad.

The 57-yard, game-winning field goal happened right in front of us. I had the presence of mind to break out my iPhone and capture the moment. I posted it on Facebook, of course, and you can hear my dad loudly declare “He made it!” over the screaming crowd. The video was only five seconds long. Any longer and I would have given viewers motion sickness from

all of the jumping up and down.

The next week, the Hawkeyes took care of business early, leaving little doubt they would be the victors over North Texas. I had tickets to this game and was seated with my mom and sister this time around. It was fun to get mom to a game, because she usually enjoys the game from the comfort of home or grandma’s house.

For the game against North Texas, we were seated in the south end zone, a level above the student section. They were great seats. One might guess I wouldn’t talk as much football strategy seated next to my mom rather than my father. This was not the case. Mom loved the view, telling my sister and I how she used to go on scouting trips with dad, and she would help write down blocking schemes. What can I say, we are a football family.

So whether you are watching action on the gridiron or crunching through leaves at your local park, make sure you take a minute to enjoy the beauty of autumn all around you.

Eye on America John Stossel

The debate I heard Something’s wrong with me.

I watched Monday’s presidential debate. But what I heard was different from what Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton seemed to say.

When Clinton said, “I want us to invest in you,” what I heard was, “I will spend your money better than you will.”

Also, I heard, “I will spend lots of your money!”

When Trump said our economic problems are China’s fault, what I heard was, “Blaming China wins me votes.”

When Clinton told Trump, “My father ... printed drapery fabrics,” what I heard was, “Donald, you are a spoiled rich kid.”

When Trump replied, “My father gave me a very small loan,” I heard Trump saying, “Anything less than $200 million is a pittance.” (It’s actually not clear what Trump received from his dad. Trump claims it was $1 million; others say $200 million. Anyway, is a million dollars a “small” loan”?)

When Clinton said, “I’m going to have a special prosecutor ... to enforce the trade deals we have,” I heard, “Kiss my ring and pay my foundation if you want your trade deal approved!”

When Trump said President Obama has “doubled” our debt, I swear I heard Trump promise, “I’ll triple it!”

When Clinton said, “I think it’s time that the wealthy and corporations paid their fair share,” what I heard was, “Good thing Bill and I are ‘broke,’ because we’re going to soak the rich like they’ve never been soaked before.”

When Clinton said Trump’s taxes “must be something really important, even terrible, that he’s trying to hide,” what I heard was, “My emails, on the other hand, were just a minor mistake and nothing I’m trying to hide — next question?”

When Trump said, “I was the one that got (Obama) to produce the birth certificate, and I think I did a good job,” what I heard was, “Since Hillary and her staff spread the lie first, I’m blameless.”

When Clinton said, “Barack Obama is a man of great dignity,” I swear I heard her add quietly, “despite me smearing him in 2008.”

When Trump said, “I was just endorsed (by 200) admirals and generals,” what I heard was, “I wish members of the military supported me the way they support Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson.”

When Clinton said, “Putin is playing a tough long game here,” I swear I heard Hillary say, “I guess my ‘reset’ with Russia was a bad idea.”

When Clinton said she’ll “do much more with our tech companies” to fight ISIS, what I heard was, “I’ll force Facebook and Twitter to shut down parts of the internet.”

When Clinton said she’ll “take out al-Qaida leadership,” what I heard was, “I don’t know exactly who they are, but I’ll kill a bunch of military-age males.”

When Trump said, “I did not support the war in Iraq,” what I heard was, “ ... except when I did.”

When Clinton said, “A man who can be provoked by a tweet should not have his fingers anywhere near the nuclear codes,” I heard, “A man provoked by a tweet should not be near the nuclear codes.” (Clinton got some things right.)

When Trump said, “My strongest asset is my temperament,” I heard viewers laughing.

When Clinton complained that Trump “said women don’t deserve equal pay unless they do as good a job as men,” I wondered, “So Hillary believes that women should get equal pay even when they don’t do as good a job?”

If only there were some way both Clinton and Trump could lose. Oh, right — there is! Governor Gary Johnson’s in the race. But the most reliable predictor of future events — the betting odds (see ElectionBettingOdds.com) — doesn’t give him much of a chance. The bettors don’t give Donald Trump a great chance either. As I write, Clinton is favored 68.7 percent to 29.6 percent.

During the debate, Trump’s odds dropped 5 percent. I didn’t think he performed that badly, but I must be wrong.

The bettors are generally right.

We may as well get used to hearing the title “ President Hillary Clinton.”

first week of October as “Construction Week.”

The purpose behind Construction Week is not only to promote awareness of the construction industry as a safe, exciting and rewarding career option. It is also an opportunity for those of us in the industry to reach out to our local schools in an effort to educate students, parents, teachers, counselors and school leaders on the commercial construction industry and the opportunities for great careers within it.

Consider these facts: • Skilled labor in the US will not catch up to demand until 2050 — The Hudson Institute

• Construction spending will continue to rise through at least 2020 — AGC of America • Average pay after graduating from an apprentice program — $53,000 • College debt for those entering the industry right out of high school — $0 Earning while you learn a lifetime skill is a smart career choice and the construction industry holds a tremendous amount of potential for our young people.

Becoming a builder could be the best decision a young person could make. It was for me.

Obituaries Laura Mae Trafton Sept. 30, 2016 Laura Mae Trafton, 93, of Newton, died Friday, Sept. 30, 2016, at Bishop Drumm C a r e Center in Johnston.

A funeral service will be at 11 a.m.

Saturday, Oct. 8 at the Wallace Family Funeral Home and Crematory in Newton. The family will greet friends from 10 a.m. until the time of service at the funeral home. Memorials to the

Emily Millicent Ehler Sept, 30, 2016 Emily Millicent (Duffield) Ehler passed from this world into G o d ’s Eternal Kingdom Sept. 30, 2016. A funeral service will be at 11 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 4 at the Kellogg United Methodist Church.

The family will greet friends from 5 to 7 p.m.

Monday, Oct. 3 at the Wallace Family Funeral Home and Crematory in Newton. Memorials to the Kellogg United Methodist Church, Mercy Hospice or the East Jasper Christian Food Pantry may be left at the funeral home or the church the day of the service.

Emily, the eldest daughter of Gordon Bennett and Vera Millicent (Redshaw)Duffield, was born Dec. 18, 1933, at Iowa Lutheran Hospital in Des Moines.

At that time her parents lived in an apartment on 16th Street but soon moved to a home they were building at 3815 E. Sheridan. This land had been given to them

by Gordon’s parents as a wedding gift.

Emily grew up in the area of Des Moines that was known as Four Mile Community until the family moved to an acreage east of Altoona.

She began school at what was then Meredith, a two room school for kindergarten and first graders. Meredith later became McKee when the Meredith family gave the school system land to build a junior high school.

First United Methodist Church may be left at the funeral home.

Laura, the daughter of Earl C. and Agnes S. (Kropf ) Davis, was born Sept. 18, 1923, at her grandparent’s home in Rockwell City. She grew up in the Rockwell and Farnhamville area, living with her grandparent’s during the week to be able to attend Rockwell City High School as her parent’s felt that the Farnhamville school was too small. After graduation, she completed two years at N.W. Institute of Medical Technology in Minneapolis, Minn., to be a lab technician.

Laura was united in marriage with Charles

D. Trafton April 6, 1946, in Princeton, Mo. They moved to Newton in 1950. Laura worked as a lab technician for the Dr. Norris/Dr. Forsyth office in Newton.

She was a member of the First United Methodist Church, Esther Circle, and volunteered at Skiff Medical Center. Laura enjoyed sewing, cooking, baking, playing games, crossword puzzles, flower gardening and family time. She also looked forward to her 1 p.m. hair appointment every Thursday.

Those left to honor Laura’s memory are her daughter, Linda ( James) Roye of Searsboro; son-in-law, James

F. Miller of Moravia; grandchildren, Kriston (Kevin) Jurasek of Johnston, Jamie ( Jody) Miller of Zionsville, Ind., and Shawn Miller of Peoria, Ill.; her five great-grandchildren, Konner and Katelyn Jurasek of Johnston and Isabelle, Alexandria and Juliette Miller of Zionsville; brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Forrest E. and Joan Trafton of Highlands Ranch, Colo.; sister-in-law, Barbara Davis of Lohrville; and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Charles; a daughter, Sherry Miller; and a brother, Earl K. Davis.

On Emily’s first day of first grade she went to Meredith only to be told she should have gone to Douglas. The parents had not been told of this change. She and others were put on a bus and sent off to Douglas, a mile away from where they lived.

It’s not known how the children got home from school that day.

After attending Douglas for six years, except for a winter when the family moved to an apartment on Dean Avenue, she attended Willard. Emily then went on to Woodrow Wilson Junior High and one semester at East High.

In 1947, a second daughter, Laura Louise, joined the Duffield family and in 1949, Gordon and Vera bought the acreage in Altoona in partnership with Vera’s brother, Buck. Emily began attending Altoona High School graduating as valedictorian in 1952. During these childhood years, Emily enjoyed camping trips with her family, swimming at the city pools, vacation bible school at Easter Heights Evangelical United Brethren Church, sack lunches with friends at Grandview Park, visits to Kobville in the fall to gather nuts and campfire meals with family friends. Sunday afternoons usually found Vera and Gordon making the best ever ice cream, with friends there to enjoy the treat.

After high school graduation Emily went on to Westmar College in LeMars, receiving a two year teacher certificate. She transferred from Westmar to Drake University and took several classes there.

She then received a position as the first grade teacher in Kellogg.

While teaching in Kellogg, she took several high school girls to a skating party in Newton one night. It was there, in the spring of 1956, she met the love of her life, Jerry Ehler.

On June 26, 1957, at Easton Heights EUB church in Des Moines, Jerry and Emily were married. Their honeymoon took them to many sites in the Northwest and West, such as the Badlands of SouthDakota, Yellowstone National Park, Salt Lake City, Utah and the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado.

Then it was home to the Ehler farm north of Kellogg. Jerry’s grandfather, Jurgen had homesteaded there in 1883.

On June 13, 1959, their first daughter, Kathleen Susan was born. Linda Ann was born April 23, 1961, and on Dec. 30, 1963, Daniel Arnold was born. All of the children were born at Grinnell General Hospital.

As the children grew and kept Emily busy with their activities, she also tended a large garden, canning and freezing most of the produce. During those years neighbors helped neighbors with hay bailing and whatever task needed assistance so there was always morning and afternoon coffee and the large noon meal to cook. In later years, Emily could be found discing or harrowing a field and in the summer and in the fall hauling in oats, corn or beans to elevate in the bins.

Emily also kept busy being a PTA homeroom mother, Camp Fire Girls leader, United Methodist Women President, in additional to many church committees, serving as Kellogg Community Bible School Di-

rector for 20 years, Kellogg Community Chest President and Mariposa Township Clerk for 32 years.

For many years, the family enjoyed fishing trips to Pine Lane Resort near Bemidji, Minn. Later Jerry and Emily purchased a cabin on Splithand Lake near Grand Rapids, Minn.

Family and friends spent many enjoyable days there with Jerry as their fishing guide and Emily the chief cook.

Evening and rainy days were usually spent playing cards with Pitch being the favorite game.

Emily’s favorite things were family gatherings, traveling, genealogy (having compiled The Duffield Family History with Craig Smith), card games with friends, crocheting, and knitting. She has traveled to 47 states and countries including Alaska, England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales, Nova Scotia and Italy. Over the years, Emily has been a member of the Kellogg United Methodist Church, United Methodist Women, Rainbow Girls, Eastern Star, Barrett Homemakers Club, and Daughters of the American Revolution.

Emily’s passing was preceded by her parents, Gordon and Vera. Left to cherish her memory are her husband, Jerry; children, Kathy Ehler of Kellogg, Linda (Dean) Porter of Lenexa, Kan., and Dan (Tina) Ehler of Newton; her grandchildren, Madison Porter, Victoria (Russell) Endriss, Chris Sharp, Anthony (Niki) Sharp, Jeremy Ehler-Lange; great-grandchildren, Rinoa, Christian and Caroline; sister, Laura (Bob) Biegger of Altoona, many cousins, nieces, and nephews.

Money-grabbing co-worker drives colleague into hiding

DEAR ABBY: A woman I’ll call Betty Jo works in my office. We are only casual acquaintances. We speak in passing when time permits, but she has never invited me to lunch with her or suggested any interaction outside the job.

About three months ago, Betty Jo mentioned that she and her husband were planning a renewal of wedding vows and said she was going to invite me. In my mailbox at work, I found a poorly photocopied version of a formal invitation, with the following handwritten at the top in large block letters: CASH GIFTS ARE CHEERFULLY ACCEPTED! I did not plan on attending, since I felt that if Betty Jo really wanted me, she could have at least sent me an original invitation to my home.

Two weeks ago, while knitting during my lunch break, Betty Jo came up to me and asked about the item I was working on. She then informed me that since I hadn’t yet given her a gift, I could complete my knitting project and give that to her! Abby, I was flabbergasted. It’s a custom-designed angora sweater, a gift for a cherished friend.

I mumbled something about being “busy as a bee” with projects to complete, and since that day I have gone out of my way to avoid any contact with Betty Jo. I’ve even managed to find an office with a door that locks in which to take my breaks.

First, am I behind the times or is requesting money on an invitation a new trend? Second, why would this rude and clueless woman request such an elaborate gift from someone she barely knows? Third, how do I handle future interactions with her at the office? Please don’t reveal my name, city or state. — BOTH-

ERED AND BEWILDERED DEAR BOTHERED: You are not behind the times. To request a gift of money (cash, yet!) is still regarded by most people as bad manners. Your co-worker asked you for the sweater you were knitting because she either has a lot of nerve, or doesn’t know any better.

Please stop trying to hide from her. You don’t have to feel defensive for not attending her renewal ceremony or giving her a gift. Just maintain a polite and consistent distance, and continue to socialize with others as you always have.

DEAR ABBY: I am 50 and about to re-enter the dating scene. I’m financially stable and look forward to a nice retirement in the future. I hope to find a woman for a lasting relationship. However, I would like her to also be financially stable and building her own retirement fund.

When is it appropriate to ask questions about someone’s financial security and retirement funds/ goals? — SECURE TEXAN DEAR SECURE TEXAN: Good question. I don’t think it would be appropriate to ask on a first date, so consider raising the subject right around the time you start talking about sex and politics.

3 Man found guilty of sexually abusing Iowa boy

2 Council Bluffs works to repair

SIOUX CITY — A jury has found a Minnesota man guilty of sexually abusing a young boy in northwest Iowa’s Woodbury County.

Joshua Kobold, 23, of Ruthton, Minnesota, was found guilty Thursday of second-degree sexual abuse following a two-day trial in Woodbury County District Court. He is set to be sentenced Nov. 4. Prosecutors say Kobold forced the boy, who was younger than 12, to perform sex acts at homes in Sergeant Bluff and Salix in 2013 and 2014.

and upgrade its levee system

COUNCIL BLUFFS — Council Bluffs officials are working to strengthen the levees protecting the western Iowa city before homeowners are forced to pay higher premiums for flood insurance. The city wants to complete the levee projects before the Federal Emergency Management Agency updates its flood maps sometime in the next several years. Council Bluffs Mayor Matt Walsh says the city is racing to get the levee system up.

Man charged with death of 4-year-old girl WATERLOO — A 32-year-old Waterloo man has been arrested in connection with the death of his girlfriend’s 4-year-old daughter last year.

Chad Allen Little was arrested Friday and made his initial appearance in court Saturday.

He is charged with first-degree murder and child endangerment. Online court records don’t list the name an attorney who could comment on Little’s behalf. Little’s 31-year-old girlfriend, Kristi Buss, was also arrested last week on suspicion of child endangerment.

5 Authorities investigate fatal shooting in Keokuk

KEOKUK — Iowa authorities are investigating the fatal shooting of a 29-yearold woman in the southeast corner of the state.

The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation says Carissa Rivers was found unresponsive in an alley in Keokuk shortly after midnight Sunday. Rivers was taken to a hospital where she later died. An autopsy will be performed this week.

—The Associated Press

Cedar Rapids returning to normal after flooding CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — Iowa residents along the Cedar River are slowly getting back to life as usual with floodwaters receding.

Some downtown Cedar Rapids businesses reopened on Saturday. Officials also had taken down many flood barriers that had been erected to keep rising water out and reopened several downtown streets and

bridges.

Central locations were set up

by Saturday for residents and businesses to drop off sandbags. Sandbag pickup at individual properties is set to begin Oct. 10 and continue for about two weeks.

Most of the downtown area was evacuated earlier in the week ahead of the river’s cresting just shy of 22 feet on Tues-

day — its second-highest level in city history. The river has since dropped nearly 9 feet to just over 13 feet on Saturday.

City officials have repeatedly credited preparations taken throughout the city following record 2008 flooding for keeping damage this year at a minimum.

“People stepped up and showed tremendous leadership

on all fronts,” Cedar Rapids Mayor Ron Corbett said Friday at a news conference. “I really think that was why we were so successful over the last few days.”

Employees at Red’s Public House in Cedar Rapids spent much of Friday moving in tables and chairs and inventory that had been taken to higher ground last week. The ale house

is expected to reopen Monday.

While high praise has been passed by officials relieved that the worst is over, police report that scammers have targeted the Cedar Rapids flood zone, offering free hotel rooms in exchange for a credit card number or offering to secure homes for a fee. The FBI is helping investigate some of those reports, police said.

‘Treacherous’ Savanna-Sabula Newton man wins bridge getting replaced $10,000 lottery prize

Submitted Photo A Newton man has claimed a $10,000 lottery prize. Dustin Lester claimed the 16th of 35 prizes of $10,000 available in the lottery’s “The BIG Ticket” scratch game. Lester bought his winning ticket at Casey’s, 1006 19th Ave. E. in Newton. He claimed his prize Thursday at the lottery’s headquarters in Clive.

SABULA (AP) — Against the backdrop of the Mississippi River, panic ensues every time Pam Brown gets on the Savanna-Sabula Bridge.

“My heart rate goes up just going across it,” said the Savanna, Ill. Chamber of Commerce executive director. “I pray I’m not going to meet a semi on my way.”

At just 20 feet wide, the half-mile long steel grate bridge deck that arcs 65 feet above the channel hardly has enough room for two lanes of motor vehicle traffic. Forget walking or riding a bicycle across it.

“I value my life,” Brown said, “so I wouldn’t do it.”

The Illinois Department of Transportation will debut an $80 million

replacement in 2018. The new bridge is being constructed 100 feet downriver from the old one and connects Savanna with the island community of Sabula, Iowa. As of this week, crews had several of the piers up.

The 84-year-old, sky blue landmark served a useful purpose for a time in history after it was assembled by government workers and a local contractor during the Great Depression. But, IDOT officials say, it has become functionally obsolete.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the slender, steel-truss original was designed by G.A. Maney of Minneapolis and completed by the Savanna-Sabula Bridge Co. in 1932 for $750,000.

Initially constructed as a toll bridge, the toll was removed in 1987 after the construction debt was paid off.

Driving from west to east is an experience in contrasts. The bridge carries U.S. 52/Illinois 64 over the river through a series of girder spans that gracefully rise from the Iowa side. But then driving through the three-span cantilever through trusses approaching Illinois gives the impression of heading into a caged dead end that smacks into limestone cliffs. The bridge actually ends in a tight T-intersection with Illinois 84 that, in periods of heavy traffic, leaves Illinois-bound vehicles wishing to turn right waiting high above the river.

Kinnick Stadium house still has green light after vote IOWA CITY (AP) — An Iowa City couple still have the green light to build a house that would resemble Kinnick Stadium after a city board split on whether to allow the structure in a residential neighborhood.

The Iowa City Board of Ad-

The tie leaves the city’s earlier approval granting a building permit unchanged.

New research suggests that certain lifestyle choices may affect the risk of cognitive decline. The randomized, controlled trial involved 1,200 adults between 60 and 77 who were at risk for dementia. The intervention group received specific diet recommendations, did aerobic and strength training exercises, had computerbased training to sharpen thinking skills, and attended regular meetings for social interaction. The control group got only general health advice. After 24 months, the intervention group’s scores were 25% higher in overall cognitive function, 83% higher in executive function, and 150% higher in mental processing speed than the control group.

US wins Ryder Cup CHASKA, Minn.

(AP) — This wasn’t about being maybe the best team ever assembled. The Americans were simply a team, and they finally won back the Ryder Cup. Phil Mickelson led the Americans behind the scenes. Patrick Reed powered them with his passion on the golf course. And it was Ryan Moore, the final captain’s pick who wasn’t even on the team until a week ago Sunday, who delivered the cup-clinching point at Hazeltine.

Moore finished eagle-birdie-par for a 1-up victory over Lee Westwood, and the celebration was on.

“When put in the right environment, the U.S. team brought out some amazing golf,” Mickelson said. “And we’re bringing back the Ryder Cup because of it.”

There was no meltdown like Medinah four years ago, when the Americans blew a 10-6 lead under captain Davis Love III. Europe never really had a chance.

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News Not since 2012 had Newton High’s Cardinals reached the championship match of their home volleyball tournament.

Going into the 2016 NHS Cardinal Invitational Saturday, the Cardinals were 6-14 and had lost three straight matches the past week.

Actions speak louder than words. The Cardinals spoke volumes Saturday on their home court.

There was not a third straight sixth-place finish for the Cardinals in the Cardinal Invitational. There was a new Cardinal Invitational champion.

Cardinals claim second in Cardinal Invitational

RYDER CUP | 5B

PEKIN — Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks continue their march toward a possible Class A District 6 championship.

On the road Friday, the Hawks turned away the Pekin Panthers, 43-14, to go 4-0 in district play.

The sixth-ranked Hawks scored three times through the air in the first half. They led their hosts, 22-7, at halftime.

“They had a halfback pass play early in the third quarter where our defensive back collided with an official in the middle of the field.

It allowed their receiver to get open and score on a long pass,” Hawk head coach Mike Parkinson said. “We were in control of the game against a very good Pekin team.

They did have a little momentum at that point.”

Lynnville-Sully’s offensive line and Gage Vander Leest answered the Panthers in less than a minute. Vander Leest broke loose for a 51-yard touchdown run with Brevin Hansen kicking the extra-point.

The Panthers didn’t score again.

Lynnville-Sully’s defense held Pekin to 70 yards rushing on 40 carries in the game. The Panthers had 141 yards passing — 76 of those yards came on the halfback pass scoring play.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Jordan Norvell (21) keeps running while a Fort Dodge defender tries to bring down the Newton High senior running back in Friday’s Class 4A District 4 game at Fort Dodge. Norvell rushed for 31 yards on eight carries and had a 48-yard pass reception in the Cardinals’ 43-21 loss.

FORT DODGE — Finishing drives with touchdowns was one of the lessons Newton High’s Cardinals learned in their first loss of the 2016 football season. There were several other lessons for the Cardinals to heed from a 43-21 loss to host Fort Dodge Friday.

“We learn and go back to work,” Newton senior linebacker Brady Smith said.

Both teams turned the ball over in the first three minutes of the Class 4A District 4 game. Newton couldn’t cash in, but Fort Dodge did.

The Dodgers went 63 yards in two plays — both passes from Drake Miller to Jonny Bowser — for the opening score of the game. Miller hooked up with Bowser on a 24-yard scoring strike.

Newton was behind 7-0, so the Cardinals answered with their strong suit — the running game.

The Cardinals worked the ball down the field on a 12-play, 70-yard drive on runs by senior running backs Jordan Norvell and Reese Rosenquist, junior running back Jaron Roush, sophomore running back Josh Miller and junior quarterback Garrett Sturtz.

Rosenquist capped the drive with a 1-yard touchdown run with 4:03 left in the quarter. Junior placekicker Zach Combs nailed the extra point for the tie.

Unfortunately, the Cardinals could not continue to match the Dodgers TD-for-TD in the district contest. Newton was moving the football against Fort Dodge, ending up with 284 yards on the ground.

They had drives stall out inside the scoring zone twice in the second quarter.

Goal-line stand helps North Tama take control of Tigerhawks

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — Colfax-Mingo’s football team weathered an early deficit against North Tama on Friday night.

But when the Tigerhawks failed to convert a goal-line opportunity late in the second quarter, they lost momentum for the rest of the game.

Junior Reegan Van Dyke was stopped short of the end zone on second and goal from the 1-yard line as time expired in the first half, and North Tama used that momentum to outscore the Tigerhawks 18-0 in the second half during a 34-13 victory in Class A District 6 play.

The loss delivered a big blow to Colfax-Mingo’s playoff chances.

The Tigerhawks fell to 1-5 on the season and 1-3 in dis-

trict play. North Tama improved to 2-4 overall and 1-3 in the district.

“It was probably a big play for them,” Colfax-Mingo Jeff Lietz said about the goal-line stand just before halftime. “I should have had more timeouts. I blew a timeout earlier in the half that I should have kept. I kind of put that one on me.

“That was a big momentum boost for them. I thought we were in honestly. It’s hard to say. It’s a judgement call.”

The Tigerhawks rallied from an early 9-0 deficit.

North Tama got on the board first when a Colfax-Mingo player snaped the ball over the head of junior punter Jarod Nichols.

The ball rolled out of the back of the end zone for a safety.

Raiders can’t keep advantage against Saydel

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter continued to move the ball offensively but miscues plagued the Raiders again during a 32-27 loss to Saydel on Friday.

CMB out-gained Saydel 467-419 in total offense, but the Raiders turned it over three times in the Class 2A District 3 loss.

The Eagles rallied from a 21-12 first-half deficit to win.

Saydel scored with no time on the clock in the first half to cut CMB’s lead to three, and then the Eagles scored the first two TDs of the second half to take the lead for good.

Coughenour answered Garrison’s 42-yard TD run with an

That put the Raiders up 7-6 in the first quarter, but Stephenson hit Cole Riddlebarger on a 14-yard TD pass to go back in front.

Hunter McWhirter hooked up with Zach Schafer from 3 yards out to put the Raiders up 14-12 and then Coughenour’s 7-yard TD pass from Braydon Aker made it 21-12.

Stephenson hit paydirt on an 11-yard TD run to give Saydel another lead before Garrison put the win away with a 73-yard run.

Raider girls win another title Tigerhawks win their at South Hardin Invitational pool, finish 3-1 at Madrid tournament

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News ELDORA — Despite not having one of its top runners, the Collins-Maxwell/Baxter girls’ cross country team still won its sixth team championship of the season Saturday at the South Hardin Invitational.

Sophomore Brenna Thomson did not compete in the race, but the Raiders still placed its first five runners in the top 10 and won by 49 points.

CMB scored 37 points for first, while South Tama County was next with 86 followed by East Marshall with 92 in third. Iowa Falls-Alden/AGWSR (100) and GMG (108) rounded out the first five teams in the 10-team field. Host South Hardin did not have enough runners for a team score.

“Every one of our girls stepped up today and ran with a purpose,” CMB coach Jerry Meinerts said. “They knew they needed to with Brenna not running today. I’m so proud of the way they responded.”

In the varsity boys division, CMB placed fifth in the 10-team field with 131 points. Webster City won the meet with 63 followed by East Marshall with 71, Nevada with 92 and IF-A/AGWSR with 121.

Leading the CMB girls Saturday was senior Heather Jessen in fourth.

She finished with a time of 22 minutes, 2 seconds.

Junior Ashlee Johnson was next in sixth, and she crossed in 22:15.

Sophomores Lauren Ratliff (22:39) and Shasta Moody (22:53) were eighth and ninth, respectively, while freshman Holly Jessen (23:05) crossed the finish line in 10th.

Meinerts said after the meet that Thomson could have ran but was held out for precautionary reasons.

The final two varsity runners — senior Winter Brown and junior Whitney Spencer — finished 28th and 32nd, respectively.

IF-A/AGWSR’s Aubrie Fisher (20:51) and Bethany Lippert (20:53) went 1-2 in the girls varsity race, while GMG’s

Raiders Continued from Page 2B assists and four digs, Pearson had 12 digs and the Raiders were 40of-41 in serves with two aces.

West Marshall rallied from an early deficit to knock off the Raiders in the title match. The

Tigerhawks Continued from Page 1B North Tama converted a Tigerhawk fumble into a touchdown 2 minutes later.

The Redhawks drove 16 yards in two plays, and Tyler Morrison capped the short possession with a 14-yard TD run.

“We can’t have the turnovers. You give anyone a short field and they’ll put the ball in the end zone,” Lietz said.

North Tama got the ball back after forcing another Tigerhawk punt. This time though, Nichols stopped the Redhawk momentum when he picked off a Cael Kopriva pass.

Colfax-Mingo started at midfield and drove 50 yards in six plays to cut its deficit to two. The drive was aided by a pass interference penalty. Senior Jimmy Camp scored on a 15-yard touchdown run to make it 9-7.

The Tigerhawks kept the momentum. They forced North Tama to punt on their next possession then drove 68 yards in seven plays to take the lead.

Van Dyke gained a first down with a 12-yard run, and then Van Dyke hit sophomore Zarek Hill in stride for a 43-yard gain. Van Dyke got to the 1-yard line with another first-down run, and Camp capped the drive with a 1-yard TD plunge.

Unfortunately, that was the last time Colfax-Mingo changed its score.

Kyla Wilkening (21:31) was third.

Leading the CMB boys were once again sophomore Ian Thomson and freshman Logan Berg. Ian Thomson (18:08) came in 11 seconds ahead of Berg (18:19) for a third-place finish. Berg finished in fifth.

“Ian and Logan ran super today,” Meinerts said. “I don’t even have to tell them anything before races. If there are people in front of them, they’re gonna hunt them down. Those guys are so competitive.”

The gap between CMB’s second runner and everyone else was too much for the Raiders to factor into the team race. Junior Carter Fric-

Trojans won 19-25, 25-19, 21-19.

For the Raiders, Bane had 13 kills, two aces and three blocks, while Baldwin had 19 assists and six digs.

Pearson finished with three kills and 19 digs, Hinegardner added 24 digs and Wesselink chipped in 11 digs, three blocks and two digs.

North Tama regained the lead on its next possession.

The Redhawks drove 54 yards for what turned out to be the game-winning TD. Kopriva rumbled 15 yards for a first down on the first play and then Michael Krienert went 32 yards for another first down.

Kopriva capped the drive with a 2-yard touchdown run.

He finished with 112 rushing yards, 117 passing yards and four total touchdowns in the win.

The Tigerhawks began their final drive of the first half at their own 39-yard line.

A 40-yard pass play from Van Dyke to Hill gave the Tigerhawks a chance, and then two runs by Van Dyke gave C-M another first down.

Camp and Van Dyke were both stopped at the 1-yard line on consecutive runs as time expired in the half.

“I didn’t see our heads down from it, but it was a big play for them,” Lietz said.

“They came out pretty strong in the second half. They drove it right down on us, and that one hurt.”

North Tama scored on its first three possessions of the second half to pull away.

Kopriva capped a 58-yard, three-play drive with a 38yard TD run and then Kopriva hit Hale Hulme on a 50yard touchdown strike to put the Redhawks up 28-13.

The final points of the game came on a 1-yard TD plunge by Kopriva with 47 seconds to go in the third

ke (20:15) was the next Raider to cross in 40th, but sophomore Josh Bruntz (20:17) was 41st and junior Noah Rhoades (20:22) finished 42nd as the final counting runner.

Carr’s three TD catches help Northwestern down Iowa IOWA CITY (AP) — Northwestern finally found some points.

Then the defense made a big play to secure a much-needed win.

Justin Jackson ran for 171 yards and Austin Carr caught three touchdown passes as Northwestern held on to beat Iowa 38-31 on Saturday.

Trae Williams’ interception in the final minute sealed the win for the Wildcats (2-3, 1-1 Big Ten), who scored touchdowns on three straight drives in the second half after Iowa ran off 17 straight points to take the lead.

“For us to weather that storm and then not to flinch after they went on a 17-0 run, I thought showed some maturity from this group and then to get the finish was critically important,” Northwestern coach Pat Fitzgerald said.

“We’ve got to squeeze everything out of this group. I think they’re coming along for us.”

C.J. Beathard threw for 204 yards and a touchdown for Iowa (3-2, 1-1), which snapped its ninegame regular-season Big Ten winning streak.

The Wildcats — ranked as the worst scoring offense in the Big Ten and 125th out of 128 FBS teams coming into Saturday — exploded for nearly as many points against Iowa as they scored in the last three games combined.

Northwestern’s Clayton Thorson threw for 164 yards. Carr — his favorite target and the Big Ten’s receptions leader — has caught a touchdown pass in four straight games. He’s the first Wildcat player to do that since 2000.

Jackson became the fourth player in Northwestern history to reach 3,000 career yards. The junior’s 58yard touchdown run late in the third quarter regained the lead for the Wildcats.

Defensive end Ifeadi Odenigbo had four of Northwestern’s six sacks.

The Hawkeyes had two chances to tie the game in the final seven minutes, but were forced to punt and then Williams intercepted Beathard at Northwestern’s 36yard line.

Iowa’s mistakes — pass protection and penalties — were costly. The Hawkeyes had 70 penalty yards, including consecutive personal fouls on Northwestern’s last scoring drive.

“We’re not good enough to give up 15 yards, whether it’s a sack, a penalty,” Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz said. “We’re just not good enough, and not many teams are.”

Iowa’s LeShun Daniels Jr. and Akrum Wadley combined for 107

rushing yards and three touchdowns. Wadley has seven touchdowns in three games against Northwestern.

The Takeaway Northwestern: The 38-point outburst is what Fitzgerald needed to see after the Wildcats totaled just 65 points in their first four games. Northwestern took advantage of good field position early. It had three scoring drives of 75-plus yards in the second half.

The key was limiting mistakes.

Fitzgerald pointed to holding penalties and turnovers as reasons

why the offense has sputtered. The Wildcats had one fumble and only one penalty against Iowa.

“The offense has been there, but I just think we’ve had self-inflicted wounds,” Fitzgerald said.

Iowa: Beathard didn’t have time to find targets in his first game without top receiver Matt VandeBerg, who broke his foot this week in practice. Beathard was sacked six times and had to scramble to throw most of the game.

Senior Riley McCarron had career-highs with eight catches and 78 yards. He could emerge as Beathard’s top target.

Giants, Blue Jays, Orioles grab playoff spots on final day The Associated Press So much for any Game No. 162 chaos in baseball: The San Francisco Giants, Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles grabbed the last three playoff spots Sunday, and the October matchups are set.

Neat and clean, no need for all sorts of tiebreakers. Too bad — that kind of final-day scramble might’ve been fun for fans.

Instead, they could sit back, savor Vin Scully’s farewell call and prepare for the postseason. It opens Tuesday night when the Orioles visit Toronto in the AL wild-card game.

“All we asked for is an opportunity, and right now, we have an opportunity,” Baltimore center fielder Adam Jones said after a 5-2 win over the New York Yankees. “So, let’s celebrate and enjoy this and get back to work.”

No official word yet on the starting pitchers at Rogers Centre. Figures to be Chris Tillman for the O’s against Marcus Stroman.

On Wednesday night, aces duel as Madison Bumgarner starts for the Giants vs. Noah Syndergaard and the New

York Mets at Citi Field in the NL wild-card game.

“We found a way to get back to where we need to be,” Bumgarner said after his team’s 7-1 win finished off a sweep of the Dodgers. “If we play like we have been the last three days, we’ll be tough to beat.”

On Thursday, the best-offive AL Division Series begins: David Ortiz and Boston at Cleveland, and the wildcard winner at Texas.

“I guess I wish Ortiz would consider retiring early,” said Indians manager Terry Francona, who previously guided Big Papi with the Red Sox, “but I don’t see that happening.”

On Friday night, Clayton Kershaw starts Game 1 for the Los Angeles Dodgers at Washington, and the NL wildcard winner plays the best-inthe-majors Chicago Cubs at Wrigley Field.

Going into Game 162, Detroit and St. Louis also had a chance to reach the postseason. That raised the possibility of multi-team, multi-city tiebreakers going into early next week.

The Tigers were in the mid-

dle of that mix. They hoped to win at Atlanta and have either the Orioles or Blue Jays lose — then, they would’ve needed to win a makeup game at home Monday against Detroit to force a tiebreaker for an AL wild-card spot.

“I would not have enjoyed the travel,” Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said, “but I would have relished traveling.”

That kind of drama never developed as the teams holding leads took care of business.

Manager Buck Showalter and Baltimore sealed their spot, winning at Yankee Stadium. When the Tigers later lost 1-0 at Atlanta in the last game at Turner Field, they were out and Toronto was back in for the second straight year.

Later, the Blue Jays’ 2-1 victory at Fenway Park meant they would host Baltimore.

With All-Star catcher Buster Posey getting three hits and driving in three runs, San Francisco beat the Dodgers and eliminated the Cardinals.

The Giants have enjoyed a recent run of even-year success, winning the World Series in 2010, 2012 and 2014.

No. 13 Baylor rallies to top Iowa State AMES (AP) — Baylor’s defense, lauded as one of the nation’s best, looked lost as Iowa State scored touchdown after touchdown.

But the Bears did what they do best — stuff teams late — and escaped from Ames with a surprisingly close win.

Chris Callahan hit a 19-yard field goal as time expired and No. 13 Baylor rallied from 14 down in the fourth quarter to beat Iowa State 45-42 on Saturday.

Shock Linwood rushed for 237 yards for the Bears, who have yet to allow a point in the fourth this season.

Baylor (5-0, 2-0), playing without star wide receiver KD Cannon because of a groin injury, trailed 42-28 before using scoring drives of 86 and 84 yards to tie it up.

Baylor’s defense finally stiffened in the fourth quarter and Seth Russell — who was 12 of 22 passing for 178 yards — drove Baylor 83 yards to set up Callahan’s chip shot.

“Credit to Iowa State. They punched us in the mouth several times. We were speaking on the sidelines (saying) ‘this is still our game.

We’re still going to fight.’ And we did,” Russell said.

Joel Lanning threw for 261 yards and two touchdowns for Iowa State (1-4, 0-2).

Mike Warren added a season-high 130 yards rushing for the Cyclones, who scored touchdowns on their first six full possessions but were shut out after that.

“I don’t know what changed,” Iowa State coach Matt Campbell said. “I just think a couple of guys had chances to make plays and just didn’t make them.”

The Takeaway Baylor: Yes, the Bears won. But concerns that Baylor’s tumultuous offseason would eventually catch up to the program will only deepen after its first league road game. Its defense looked lost for 45 minutes, and the passing game was subpar without Cannon.

The Bears should get credit, though, for making the plays it needed to make in the fourth quarter.

Iowa State: The Cyclones, who looked good in beating San Jose State by 34 points, were the better team for three quarters. But Iowa State’s disturbing habit of collapsing in the fourth was apparent yet again.

The Cyclones had eight yards on six plays in the final 15 minutes. “Our defense stepped up big,” Russell said.

Pivotal Moments Iowa State didn’t punt until the late in the third quarter. But Baylor’s defense, which held its opponents to 13.5 points per game in September, forced a pair of three-and-outs.

The Bears turned those stops into the final 10 points of the game.

No QB Shuffle The Cyclones had rotated Lanning with backup Jacob Park the last few games. But Lanning was so good early on that Park never left the bench. He finished with arguably his best game for the Cyclones — a positive sign for a program focused more on progress than anything else in 2016. “Joel got into a good rhythm and (I) just didn’t feel like it was fair to pull him,” Campbell said.

Newton freshmen lose first game

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton freshman running back Logan Cummins (49) gets to the outside for a good gain against Fort Dodge in Friday’s game at Fort Dodge.

FORT DODGE — Logan Cummins scored a touchdown in the first half and Dylan Farver scored a touchdown in the second half for Newton High’s freshmen Friday against Fort Dodge’s Dodgers.

In between, the Dodgers scored 24 points to beat the Cardinals 24-16.

Quintrail Coley hauled in a 2-point conversion pass to put Newton up 8-0. In the fourth quarter, Cummins had the 2-point conversion run after Farver’s TD. “We made too many errors tonight to come away with a victory. We had four possessions inside the 20-yard line where we came away with no

points. In close ball games, execution will always be the difference maker,” Newton freshman team head coach Trent Powers said.

Newton trailed 12-8 at halftime. The Cardinals had two drives end inside the Fort Dodge 10-yard line in the third quarter.

With 3:48 left in the game, the Cardinals recovered a successful onside kick attempt.

“I give our boys a lot of credit for hanging tough and battling until the end. We had the ball late in the game, inside their 30 with a chance to tie, and that is all we can ask for. We just could not overcome our mental errors,” Power said.

Cummins finished with 148 yards on 25 carries and

Truex wins Sprint Cup race at Dover DOVER, Del. (AP) — Martin Truex Jr. watched season after empty season as other drivers hoisted trophies and celebrated championships and wondered if he was running out of time to become a winner.

Bad cars, bad teams, bad luck.

Whatever the cause, Truex was a journeyman driver seemingly doomed to a mediocre career. Now, what quantifies as a downer in Truex’s career rebirth is that he failed to actually sweep the first round of the Chase — but two of three is pretty dominant.

“We’re not messing around, I guess,” Truex said.

“We are here to get it done.”

Truex’s late-season surge extended Sunday at Dover International Speedway for his second victory in the first three Chase rac-

es.

Truex won for the fourth time this season in the No. 78 Toyota and paired this Chase win with his opening Truex victory at Chicagoland.

“Kind of a bonus win,” crew chief Cole Pearn said.

“We didn’t need it all.”

Well, plenty of other Chase drivers did.

Tony Stewart finished 13th and the three-time NASCAR champion was knocked out of contention in the first elimination race of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship.

Chris Buescher and Chip Ganassi Racing teammates Kyle Larson and Jamie Mc-

Murray also dropped out of the Chase. The field was sliced from 16 drivers to 12.

Austin Dillon finished eighth and moved from outside the points cutoff of the Chase to a transfer spot and advanced to the next round.

Kevin Harvick, Kyle Busch, Brad Keselowski, Matt Kenseth, Joey Logano, Chase Elliott, Jimmie Johnson, Denny Hamlin, Carl Edwards and Kurt Busch joined Truex and Dillon in the next round that opens at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

Kyle Busch was second, followed by Chase Elliott, Keselowski, Kenseth and Logano — the only five other cars that finished on the lead lap.

Truex won his first career Cup race at Dover in 2007 and didn’t win again until 2013. But his career

took off in his second year at Furniture Row Racing and he used a win at Pocono last year to make the Chase and become one of four drivers racing for the championship in the finale.

His career absolutely exploded with FRR and Toyota this season. Truex led a stunning 392 laps in a Coca-Cola 600 victory and then won at Darlington just two races before the Chase opened. He has led at least 140 laps in three of the last four races.

“The last month has just been ridiculous,” he said.

Harvick won last week at New Hampshire and was the only other driver to earn an automatic berth in the second round.

The second round of the Chase opens at Charlotte and Logano is the defending race winner.

AMES (AP) — Former Iowa State running back Troy Davis arrested on suspicion of public intoxication roughly 14 hours after being honored at the Cyclones’ game against Baylor on Saturday.

Iowa State University Police say Davis refused to take a sobriety test when officers contacted him Davis around 2:30 a.m. Sunday. Davis will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame later this year.

Davis was being held Sunday in the Story County Jail in lieu of $300 bond.

Online court records don’t list an attorney who could comment on Davis’ behalf.

Davis is scheduled to be inducted into the college football hall of fame later this year. He was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy in 1996.

Continued from Page 1B

Ryder Cup Continued from Page 1B Reed outdueled and outshouted Rory McIlroy for a 1-up victory, and by then the back end of the scoreboard was filled with American red.

The final score was 17-11, the biggest rout for the United States since 1981. That U.S. team is considered the best team ever assembled with 11 major champions. In a radio interview going into the Ryder Cup, Love was trying to explain that the Americans didn’t have to do anything “super human” when he said, “This is the best team maybe ever assembled.”

Ultimately, this wasn’t about measuring against the past as much as it was building to the future.

The Americans lost for the third straight time in 2014 at Gleneagles, and it was team divided over everything from how the captain was selected to how the team should be built. Mickelson put his image on the line by publicly challenging captain Tom Watson at the closing press conference in Scotland, and

he was the strongest voice among five players on a task force that was assembled to figure out why the Americans couldn’t seem to win.

Mickelson was under pressure all week and delivered 2 1/2 points, including a halve with Sergio Garcia in which both birdied the final two holes.

“You keep losing, you feel like you have to do something different,” said Love, who avoided becoming the first U.S. captain to lose the Ryder Cup twice. “They had a lot of pressure on them for the last two years. And every time we picked a guy, there was more and more pressure on the team and more and more questions.

And I’m just proud the way every one of them played. It was a great team effort.”

The golf was equally great.

Reed faced the tallest order in the leadoff match with Rory McIlroy, and the quality of golf was as high as it gets.

Reed squared the match by driving the fifth green to 8 feet for eagle, and he kept the tee until the 18th. Reed matched McIlroy’s birdie on No. 6, McIlroy matched Reed’s birdie on No. 7 and the par-3 eighth hole was as sensational as it gets in a Ryder

Cup. McIlroy holed a 60-foot birdie putt, leapt into the air and cupped his hand to his ear, mocking the American crowd to yell even louder.

Reed then holed a birdie putt from 35 feet, charging the crowd before turning to wag his finger at McIlroy. They bumped fists and patted each other on the back, both 5 under through eight holes.

Their standard of gold dipped after that, perhaps because they spent so much energy pumping fists, and Reed finally took his first lead when McIlroy bogeyed the 12th hole. McIlroy’s putter went cold, and Reed closed him out with a 7-foot birdie on the 18th.

Mickelson made 10 birdies, and Garcia made nine birdies against no bogeys in their match.

Among the lone bright spots for Europe was Thomas Pieters, the Belgian rookie who had the best debut of any European rookie by going 4-1. He took down J.B. Holmes in the third match, right after Henrik Stenson dismantled Jordan Spieth.

Every U.S. player contributed a point.

caught three passes for 37 yards. Farver rushed for 41 yards on 12 carries. Antonio Usry had 22 yards on three carries and Destin Schroder had 17 yards on three carries.

Kyle Long went 7-of-12 passing for 84 yards for Newton. Coley caught two passes for 46 yards.

Coley led the defensive charge for Newton with six tackles. Usry, Zane Kohlmeyer and Gage Linahon each had four tackles. William Cheng had three tackles and an interception.

Newton (4-1) plays at 4:45 p.m. Friday against Southeast Polk at Newton’s H.A. Lynn Stadium.

“Our kids were really focused and played hard. We made a couple of mistakes — turnovers — but the kids responded well,” Parkinson said. “We dominated the line of scrimmage all night.

In the second half, our boys took care of business offensively on the ground.”

In the first half, Elijah Collins ramped up the Hawk passing game with a 34yard scoring pass to Caden Dunsbergen and a 28-yard TD pass to Brevin Hansen.

Sage Zylstra added a 2-point conversion run and Hansen kicked the first of five extra points.

Pekin cut the deficit with a 26-yard touchdown pass play from Caleb Comstock to Garrett Greiner with five minutes left in the second quarter. Leading 15-7, Lynnville-Sully mounted a final scoring drive for the first half.

“There were three seconds left, and Elijah bought some time then threw a bomb of a pass. Brevin, who had his best game as a receiver, caught the tipped pass and ran the final 10 yards,” Parkinson said. “It set the stage for the rest of the game.”

On the final play of the first half, Hansen hauled in the pass and scored a TD on a play covering 61 yards.

Hansen made five catches for 123 yards in the game.

Collins was 7-of-16 for 171 yards with three TD passes and one interception. Ryan Hofer had the other reception for 14 yards.

After Vander Leest pushed the Hawk lead back to 15 points, Lynnville-Sully got two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Zylstra, who had 154 yards on 13 carries, scored on a 36-yard run then set up the final score

on a long run down the sideline.

Evan Squires made a 5-yard TD run late in the game.

L y n n ville-Sully rolled up 306 Hansen yards rushing led by Zylstra. Vander Leest carried the ball eight times for 93 yards, and Squires had 55 yards on 15 carries.

Hofer racked up seven solo tackles and two assisted tackles for the Hawk defensive effort. Vander Leest had five solo stops and three assisted tackles. Kemper Lukehart had four solo tackles, one assisted tackle and a quarterback sack. Zylstra had four solo tackles and a quarterback sack. Squires recovered a fumble.

Rylan James punted four times for 160 yards, which was a 40-yard average.

Lynnville-Sully (6-0) returns home for a 7 p.m. Class A District 6 showdown Friday with New London. New London (5-1) is also undefeated in district play.

“We (the coaches) met Sunday as we always do to go over film. We have a game plan ready for our guys to work on this week for New London,” Parkinson said.

Volleyball Continued from Page 1B three-set championship bracket semifinal, 27-25, 13-25, 15-8.

Newton went undefeated in pool play, beating Des Moines North 21-5, 21-9, Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont 23-21, 21-19 and Boone 9-21, 21-14, 22-20.

The Cardinals and Boone moved into the championship bracket. Coming in from the other pool were Class 4A topranked Pella and Harlan. Pella defeated Harlan in pool play 18-21, 21-11, 15-10.

Both semifinals went three sets. Pella rallied to beat Boone 18-25, 25-19, 15-9.

“We play better when we’re relaxed. We need to stay calm, and pass the ball well. When we do that, we do a lot of good things,” senior Morgan Allen said after the tournament. “We came back from deficits today.

We can play well against good teams and we proved that.”

Newton challenged Harlan, which just dropped out of the top 15 rankings in Class 4A, and was going for a sixth straight Cardinal Invitational championship. Harlan beat EBF in last year’s championship match. Pella finished third a year ago.

The Cardinals faced Pella in the championship match.

They battled to the final point, but the Lady Dutch captured the 2016 title with a 25-18, 2516 win over Newton.

“The girls played some great volleyball. We were mentally tough and did a much better job of recovering and fighting for points.

The team did the little things, and it showed,” Newton head coach Ashley Carter said.

Pella used a four-point serving run to push out to an 8-3 lead in the first set. Down 16-6, Allen had a block to score a point and give the ball to Newton. Junior Audrey Lucas served up an ace and two more points for the Cardinals.

The Lady Dutch steadily moved away for the first-set win. Newton led 2-1 on a kill by senior Taylor Shipley and a service point by Shipley to

open the second set.

Pella strung together four points and three points from the service line to take a 14-7 lead. It took 11 rotations for the Lady Dutch to win the second set and the tournament title.

Shipley finished with six kills in the Pella match and senior Megan Pressgrove had seven kills. Lucas and junior Rachel Berkland each had one kill.

Shipley and Pressgrove each had seven set assists. Junior Carter Lee had one set assist.

Senior libero Ryanne Rausch was credited with 16 digs, and Pressgrove had 12 digs.

Shipley had seven digs, Lucas had five digs, Allen had four digs, Lee had two digs and Berkland had one dig.

Rausch, Lucas and Pressgrove each had one service ace. Allen, junior Lucy Lilienthal and Pressgrove had one block assist apiece.

“The goal was to win the tournament, but Pella’s big hitters got the better of us. We are really proud of the girls and their second place finish; it was a great day,” Carter said.

The journey to the title match for the Cardinals began with a win over Des Moines North opening the tournament.

Shipley had a seven-point

serving stint with Pressgrove working the net as the Cardinals built an 8-3 lead in the first set. The two seniors switched places as Pressgrove served up eight points as Shipley had two kills in the run.

In the second set against North, Allen served for five consecutive points to increase Newton’s lead to 14-6. Newton’s match point came on an ace serve by Rausch.

Pressgrove had four ace serves in the match while Allen had two ace serves.

At the net against North, Pressgrove delivered seven kills and Shipley had four kills. Berkland, junior Alexis Hoffman, Allen and Lilienthal each had one kill. Shipley was credited with 10 set assists and Pressgrove had four set assists.

Lilienthal had a solo block.

Taylor put up seven digs followed by four digs from Pressgrove and three digs from Rausch. Credited with one dig apiece were Lee, Berkland, Lucas, freshman Madi Amos and junior Harlie Durr.

Newton moved on to play Eddyville-Blakesburg-Fremont. The Rockets bolted to a 6-3 lead over the Cardinals in the first set. Newton rallied to tie it up 10-10, but EBF rattled off five consecutive points.

The Cardinals kept chip-

Football Continued from Page 1B The Cardinals got points out of the two drives as Combs delivered field goals from 37 yards and 31 yards. The second field goal came with 31 seconds left in the first half, pulling the Cardinals within seven points, 20-13.

Newton took the second-half kickoff and drove to the Fort Dodge 20-yard line.

Combs’ 37-yard field goal attempt hit the upright and bounced away with 8:48 on the third-quarter clock.

Three plays later, Fort Dodge’s Savion Poe raced 60 yards for a touchdown. Newton faced a 26-13 deficit.

“Our kids did a really good job of moving the ball. They learned tonight if we’re going to beat a good team like Fort Dodge, we have to capitalize on every scoring opportunity,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said.

The Dodgers had a breakout game from junior running back Joe Artis. Artis, who moved to Fort Dodge from Indianapolis, Ind. this year, had only 10 yards on five carries coming into the game.

Artis rushed for 192 yards on 15 carries Friday night and had three touchdown runs for the Dodgers. The first scoring run was for 22 yards with 10:48 left in the second quarter to put Fort Dodge in front for good.

Newton answered with Combs’ 37-yard field goal.

Artis finished an 80-yard drive by the Dodgers with a 1-yard run, but the Cardinals blocked the extra-point kick to make it 20-10.

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton’s Reese Rosenquist, left, and Fort Dodge’s Drake Miller, right, reach for the loose football in Friday’s game at Fort Dodge.

Newton’s Jaise Gulling recovered the fumble.

The Cardinals started from their own 15-yard line and ran down the field until Fort Dodge made a stand at its own 14-yard line. Combs hit the 31-yard field goal.

“We answered, but with field goals. We have to finish drives, especially against good teams such as Fort Dodge,” Ergenbright said. “We had a lot of self-inflicted mistakes tonight — penalties, missed blocks, missed defensive assignments, dropped passes both offensively and defensively. We just didn’t make plays at critical times in the game.”

After Poe’s long TD run in the third quarter, Newton turned the ball over twice. The Cardinals held and forced an 11-yard punt by the Dodgers setting up a short field. Newton was at the Dodger 36-yard line.

On the first play, Cayd Lara stripped the ball away from

Roush and returned the ball 40 yards. The Cardinals held the Dodgers out of the end zone, but A.J. Ruge hit a 22yard field goal to make it 2913 with 2:39 left in the third quarter.

Newton moved into Fort Dodge territory but turned the ball over on downs at the Dodger 27-yard line with less than a minute remaining in the third quarter. The Cardinal defense made a stand, forcing another very short punt.

The Cardinals opened the 48-yard march to the end zone with a 9-yard pass from Sturtz to Trevor Ergenbright.
