City guidelines tend to be stricter than state

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News

A

s leaves begin to fall and pile up in yards, it’s important for all Jasper County residents to know city and/or county and state burn regulations.

The City of Newton revised its burn policy in 2012. For homes on properties that are less than one acre, the city prohibits the burning of leaves or brush piles, landscape waste (including garden waste), garbage, tires or rubber products, paint or used oil, plastic and any household material that can be recycled.

For homes on one acre or more, landscape waste generated on site can be burned with a free permit from the Newton Fire Department, as long as the fire is at least 200 feet from any inhabitable structure.

There is no fee for the permit.

There are also permits required for flare stacks, landscape waste from clearing, grubbing or construction operations and diseased trees.

If the wind speed exceeds 15 mph, no burning is permitted in the City of Newton — even with a permit.

Recreational fires are permitted as long as those are a minimum 25 feet away from a structure or combustible material. Fires can be no larger than four feet in diameter and flames shall be no larger than two feet high and be contained in a non-combustible ring.

A portable fire extinguisher or other equipment, such as a garden hose must be readily available.

Fires must be continuously attended until completely extinguished.

No processed wood, such as 2x4s, pallets or building materials may be burned. If any neighbor experiences breathing or physical discomfort due to smoke generated, the fire must be extinguished.

The Newton Fire Chief or fire marshal can issue warnings for violations, or citations that include fines. A first-offense fine can range from $10 to $150.

Jasper County Auditor Dennis Parrott said the county does not have specific burn ordinanc-

es. However, some important state regulations should be kept in mind.

State law indicates a local or state fire marshal can issue a temporary burn bans for a county or select counties at any time. There were no burn bans for any central Iowa counties Wednesday on the state’s listing, shown here: bit.ly/1QZvqit.

State law also indicates open burning of landscape waste — excluding leaves — can be done in a period of community disaster.

Restrictions and burn dates vary in other Jasper County municipalities.

Prairie City and Monroe do not allow burning of any kind, anywhere within the city limits, without a permit. Colfax allows the burning of yard waste on site from Oct. 15 to Dec. 15 and from March 15 to May 15 during daylight hours.

Contact city administration offices for exact policies.

The next phase of street repair work is set to begin Friday in Newton.

Seven streets throughout Newton will have sections repaired using a mill and overlay system contracted through Manatts, Inc. “We looked at what are some of the asphalt streets that needed repaired. We identified these streets this winter and also had the open house in the spring,” Newton Public Works Director Keith Laube said. “These are streets that if we do not do some maintenance now, we’re going to probably have to reconstruct them in the future, which is what we are trying to avoid.”

The streets include sections of East Eighth Street North and South, North Fourth Avenue East, East 19th Street

Assistant Prosecuting CARTER | 3A

Newton received national attention this week for the community’s low unemployment rate, job opportunities and affordability by being named one of Realtor.com’s “Top 10 Affordable Small Towns Where You’d Actually Want to Live.”

To find the ranking cities, the housing website ranked 500 U.S. Census-designated micropolitan areas (with a population between 10,000 and 50,000) and measured them using criteria based on unemployment rate, job opportunities and median price list.

They also looked for communities with fun and interesting amenities.

Newton was listed at No. 4 and was recognized for its world-class entertainment opportunities, including Iowa Speedway, Bowlful of Blues and the Iowa Sculpture Festival as well as the city’s economic vitality in green manufacturing. The median list price for a home in Newton is $108,000 and the unemployment rate in Newton is 3.4 percent.

Newton is joined by two additional Iowa communities on this list — Oskaloosa and Spencer. To read the full article, visit goo.gl/ ktbYTG.

Those streets will first have a couple of inches of asphalt milled off the top of the roadway. That area will then be replaced by new asphalt, which is expected to have a shelf life of 20 to 25 years. The asphalt that is milled off will also be recycled.

“This is mostly a two inch milling, and three to four in overlay, depending on the street,” said project manager Steve Illingworth.

Although no firm schedule is in place, Illingworth said they will potentially be starting on the east side of town and work their way west.

As streets come up on the docket, flyers will be passed out giving a 48hour notice of the repair work near residences.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News East Eighth Street South is one of seven streets that will be a part of the resurfacing project set to begin Friday. A little more than two miles of road will be repaired using a mill and overlay system during the next two weeks.

Seasonal favorite winter squash full of vitamins, fiber

By Emily Ring Newton Hy-Vee Registered Dietitian Fall is here and that means the perfect time to enjoy winter squash. Common types of winter squash are acorn, butternut, delicata, spaghetti and, of course, pumpkin.

Squash is cooked by steaming, sautéing, grilling, roasting or baking. For added flavor and a nutrition boost, try adding squash to stir fries, soups and casseroles and try baking squash in breads, cakes and pies.

Squash is high in vitamin C, and is a good source of fiber, vitamin A and B vitamins. Squash naturally has no fat, no cholesterol and no sodium.

Wash squash before cutting or peeling. Most varieties (with the exception of butternut squash) have very tough skins that cannot be removed with a vegetable peeler, so it’s easier to cook them with the skin on. Cut squash in half with a sharp knife. Cut next to the stem rather than through it. If the squash is too difficult to cut, you can microwave the squash for two to four minutes or until it is soft enough to cut into pieces. Spoon out seeds and stringy fibers before cooking.

Place halves cut-side down and smaller pieces cut-side up in a baking dish. Bake at 400 degree F for 30 to 60 minutes or until tender. Smaller pieces will take less time.

Most varieties of winter squash are already flavorful and sweet, so all it takes is just a little bit of olive oil, salt and pepper to taste delicious. Suggestions for a sweet change-up include adding spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice or ginger with a drizzle of honey, maple syrup or orange juice. Spice blends like pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice will work well, too. Suggestions for a savory change-up include spices like chili powder and garlic powder or herbs like oregano and sage.

Submitted Photo Winter squash can be cooked by steaming, sautéing, grilling, roasting and baking.

Cooked squash freezes well, so never throw cooked squash away. Freeze leftovers in freezer bags and move them into the fridge the night before you plan to use. Squash will be thawed and ready to heat by dinner time.

Squash Rounds with Cider-Shallot Sauce Serves 6 All You Need: 1 (3 lb.) butternut squash, with a 6-inch-long neck (see Shopping Tip) 2 T. canola oil 2 c. thinly sliced shallots, (8 to 10 medium) 1 tsp. light brown sugar 1/2 tsp. salt 1 c. apple cider 1 T. cider vinegar 1/2 c. chopped walnuts, toasted (see Tip) All You Do: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a large baking sheet with cooking spray. 2. Cut off the neck of the squash and peel it. Slice into twelve 1/2-inchthick rounds; remove any stray fibrous threads or seeds in the centers. (Reserve the rest of the squash for another use, such as squash puree). 3. Place the squash rounds on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with foil.

Bake for 20 minutes. 4. Remove

the foil and continue baking until the squash is tender, about 20 minutes more. 5. Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shallots, brown sugar and salt and reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring often, until the shallots are softened and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Stir in cider and vinegar and cook until most of the liquid is evaporated, 6 to 8 minutes. 6. To serve, place 1 squash round on a small plate and top with about 2 1/2 tablespoons shallot sauce. Place a second round on top and finish with another 2 1/2 tablespoons of sauce and a sprinkling of walnuts. Repeat with the remaining squash, shallot sauce and walnuts.

Make Ahead Tip: Prepare the sauce; cover and refrigerate for up to one day. Reheat just before serving.

Shopping Tip: Look for a squash with a long slender neck like a goose — at least six inches long and about three inches wide.

Tip: To toast chopped walnuts, heat a small dry skillet over medium-low heat. Add nuts and cook, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, two to three minutes.

Go green to reduce lung cancer risk Newton Daily News Lung cancer affects millions of people across the globe. The second most common cancer in both men and women, lung cancer accounts for roughly 13 percent of all new cancers, according to the American Cancer Society. What’s more, lung cancer leads the pack for the most cancer deaths. Each year more people die from lung cancer than breast, prostate and colon cancers combined.

As deadly as lung cancer can be, men, women and children can take steps to greatly reduce their risk of developing the disease.

Grow fresh garlic Researchers have linked consuming raw garlic to lowering one’s

risk for lung cancer. A study from the Jiangsu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention in China found that frequent consumption of raw garlic cut the risk of lung cancer by 44 percent among lung cancer patients and healthy adults who did not smoke for a period of seven years. The benefits are linked to allicin, which is released once raw garlic is smashed or diced. It can reduce inflammation and cell damage caused by free radicals.

Transition to all-natural cleaning products Limit exposure to carcinogenic chemicals that may be hiding in common household items. Look for products comprised of all-natural ingredients

and those that will not harm the environment or personal health.

Get a radon test Radon is an odorless, tasteless gas that occurs when uranium breaks down naturally in the soil. Homes that are built over natural deposits can have high levels of indoor radon, which can contribute to lung cancer risk.

Drink more green tea The antioxidants in green tea may inhibit tumor growth.

Data presented to the American Association of Cancer Research in 2010 by Taiwanese researcher I-Hsin Lin revealed that smokers and nonsmokers who didn’t drink green tea had more than five times a greater risk of developing lung cancer than those who drank

at least one cup of green tea daily.

Walk or bike more often Leaving the car at home and opting for body-powered means of transportation is good for the planet and your personal health.

Being physically active not only helps prevent lung cancer, but also it can improve survival and quality of life for those who already have the disease, said a 2007 study presented at the American Association for Cancer Research’s Sixth Annual International Conference on Cancer Prevention.

Lung cancer can be frightening, but implementing a few eco-friendly tips can be beneficial to the environment and reduce a person’s risk of developing lung cancer.

Illingworth said when the construction is underway, residents are urged to park their vehicles off of the street, and are asked to avoid mowing into the street and avoid the intersections adjacent to the street.

Barricades will be placed around the construction area as well.

“We’re not here to block them out of their house totally, there are just certain times it may be more difficult,” Illingworth said.

The entire project is expected to last two weeks from start to finish depending on weather and machinery.

The street repairs are funded from two sources — $500,000 coming from the 2015 bond and $250,000 provided by the 10-cent increase in the gas tax.

Future street projects include the reconstruction of South Second Avenue and North Fourth Avenue West, which is scheduled for next year. For additional information on when and where roadwork is being completed, contact the public works department at 641-792-6622.

Attorney John McGinnis told the court that the victim, the victim’s mother, and investigators agreed with the pleas.

Swope informed Carter that he now faced lifetime registration as a sex offender, which includes “a myriad of regulations you have to meet.”

Swope also told Carter he would have found himself in even more trouble if the female juvenile had been a little younger. Carter will be under 10 years of supervised release. If he fails to abide by the supervision’s terms, he could find himself back in prison, Swope said.

“The public good was done because he will be kept track of,” McGinnis said later.

Carter’s attorney, J. Lawson, asked Swope to consider probation, adding that his client had a job waiting for him in Iowa. Swope said he did not consider the case suitable for probation.

Carter met a 16-year-old female online and had an online relationship with her for a year. He then traveled to Mercer County and spent at least four days with the juvenile at a motel, investigators with the West Virginia State Police said when Carter was arrested.

A criminal complaint filed by Capt. M.R. Crowder, now captain of the West Virginia State Police Turnpike Detachment, indicated the two had sexual relations during this time. There was “admission to that by both,” he said then. The charges stemmed from a search of three cell phones.

The case started as a missing persons investigation after the juvenile’s mother reported her missing, Crowder said. The teen was found after she got into a disagreement with Carter and went to her mother’s place of work.

When Carter was arrested, he was in Bluefield waiting to board a bus and begin his trip back to Iowa.

Newton Daily News Fire hydrants will be flushed from 10 p.m. Friday until 6 a.m.

Saturday north of First Avenue and Bittersweet Subdivision. Fire hydrants will be flushed from 10 p.m. Saturday until 6 a.m. Sunday for all customers south of First Avenue.

Hydrants are flushed several times a year to clear the water mains of internal corrosion

and residue which naturally builds up in water mains. While no interruptions in water service will occur, as a result of the work the Newton Waterworks advises customers may experience some drop in pressure or some discoloration of their water. The discoloration will clear up in a few minutes if the cold water tap is allowed to run. Do not run hot water or do laundry

until the cold water side is cleared up.

Some customers have questioned why all hydrants are not flushed. Only those that provide the greatest flow and those that are on dead ends are opened. Should customers of Newton, Lambs Grove or surrounding areas have questions or concerns, they may call the waterworks at 641-7922003 or 641-792-1460.

Iowa DNR urges locals to be firewise on the farm Newton Daily News With harvest accelerating farm activities, fire safety details can be hastily overlooked.

“It’s important to take time to incorporate some simple steps to keep your farm firewise,” said Gail Kantak, wildland fire supervisor for the DNR. “We encourage farmers and others working the land this time of year to follow six simple steps to not only save time and money, but prevent a tragic loss.”

The six steps include: 1. Properly prepare machinery to reduce the chance of a field fire from an overheated bearing (check the manufacturer’s recommendations). A spark from an improperly lubricated combine can instantaneously ignite dry plants and field debris.

Check that all fire ex-

tinguishers carried on the machinery are fully charged with loose powder inside. If the powder is not loose, remove the extinguisher from its bracket then thump the canister with a rubber hammer until the powder moves when shaken.

Make sure the size of the extinguisher is appropriate for the size of the machinery. You may need larger and/or additional extinguishers. Also make sure you have the correct extinguisher for the type of fire to be extinguished.

There are two types of extinguishers, the powder extinguisher for electrical and petroleum based fires and the water extinguisher for vegetative fires.

This means that you may need to carry both kinds of extinguishers.

2. Keep equipment clean. Check and remove combustible harvest de-

bris from motors, exhausts, ledges and brackets several times a day. A portable gas-powered leaf blower is great for blowing debris from the various surfaces of the combine.

3. Service grain storage and drying equipment.

Storage facilities are like your bank vault. Protect their contents by properly servicing all bearings, belts, motors and drags.

Dryers frequently cause fires, so before drying grain, have a qualified service technician perform the necessary maintenance. Also keep weeds mowed around the facilities to discourage a fire from spreading.

Again, all extinguishers should be handy, fully charged, and the proper size and type for the area.

4. Turn off interior lighting in overfilled bins.

A grain fire will start if

on

the grain surrounds the bulb. Turn off the light’s breaker to avoid accidentally turning the light on.

This also applies to hay storage facilities.

5. Handle hay properly. Improper hay storage commonly causes or complicates farm fires. Preventative measures greatly reduce this risk.

Planning proper hay storage is crucial. Store hay away from combustibles such as gasoline, fertilizers and pesticides, as well as open burning areas like burn barrels, brush piles and vegetative burning. Arrange round bales in groups of 10 or fewer and place at least 100 feet away from structures.

Leave 30 feet of mowed

grass, bare ground, or rock between the bale groups, creating a solid fire break.

Many hay fires occur by spontaneous combustion of moist hay, usually within six weeks after baling. Plan to bale hay at its driest stage and do not bale in the morning dew or too soon after a rain.

Check stored hay frequently for hot hay or an internal hay fire. Be aware of a caramel or strong burning odor, a visible vapor or smoke, a strong musty smell, and/or hay that is hot when touched.

If any of these occur, call the fire department immediately and do not move the hay. Moving it exposes overheated or smoldering hay to oxygen,

speeding the fire.

6. When tilling in the fall, till a 30-foot break around building sites, remote bin sites and outside storage facilities to minimize fire spread. Again, remove weeds and other combustibles around structures and stored equipment.

Kantak reminds everyone that if a fire occurs, remain calm and call 911 immediately. Provide clear, concise directions to your location. Many field and bin sites do not have 911 addresses, so be prepared to identify an intersection or landmark to direct responders.

To help control field fires until firefighters arrive, remain calm and act swiftly.

What goes up doesn’t always come down

By Mike Mendenhall Staff Writer

www.newtondailynews.com | Thursday | Oct. 8, 2015

Space and space exploration is having a moment. And why shouldn’t it? There is no activity that is as cost free as an interest in astronomy. All that has to be done is walk onto your back porch on a clear night and look up.

Of course, those who want to go beyond the wonder of a sky full of stars to take a more academic interest can do so easily — write down nightly observations seen from their backyard and take advantage of star gazing programs like The Des Moines Astronomical Society’s Ashton Observatory in Jasper County Conservation’s Ashton Wildwood Park near Mingo. But the wonder is still there.

When the news of the blood supermoon hit the papers in September, I was elated. I’m from the city, and light pollu-

tion tends to dull, if not ruin, astronomical events for those around miles of lighted streets and bright downtown skylines.

But this year, the country skies of rural Colfax were just a two minute drive.

The night of the total lunar eclipse, my girlfriend and I put on our sweats, jumped into the Chevy and traveled to a gravel road west of Colfax. As the eclipse reached totality and the moon looked dipped in crimson, its light dimmed revealing the band of light from the center of our Milky Way galaxy which appeared in grand detail.

One hundred-thousand stars became visible to the naked eye — no LED or tungsten street lamps to hide their glow.

I wasn’t alone in looking up that early autumn night. It wasn’t long before images began circulating on iReporting

sites, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook and traditional news outlets of the uncharacteristically large satellite over iconic landmarks and open spaces. The moon posed with people from throughout the planet.

I’ve seen a similar momentum with the release of director Ridley Scott’s “The Martian.”

The tale of NASA botanist Mark Watney’s trials, stranded on the Red Planet after a sand storm caused his crew mates to abort the mission, has been heralded as one of the most scientifically accurate portrayals of a Mars landing in cinema history. The science demonstrated in the movie is also starting the conversation among kids and candidates, adults and adolescents about a future Mars trip in the real world.

The movie has no villain, except for the martian environ-

ment. The thin carbon dioxide atmosphere, low air pressure and blistering cold antagonized Watney to the end. But when have humans ever backed down from a challenge without one day revisiting its possibilities — not because it is easy, but because it is hard as President John F. Kennedy once said?

I wasn’t around in the 1950s and 60s when the space race with the Soviet Union was tense and trendy, but I hope we have a new momentum building now — not driven of fear of an enemy’s advancing capabilities, but because sheer curiosity and the excitement of what’s out there can be so much fun.

It can unite us as a planet.

Keep looking up.

So, considering the substantial student debt burden a growing percentage of graduates struggles to repay — the U.S. Department of Education’s student loan portfolio exceeds $1 trillion — it’s important policymakers examine the federal government’s lending practices and the borrowing behavior of college-bound students.

Specific steps can be taken to encourage financial literacy and teach students to become smarter, savvier borrowers. The federal government has a responsibility to the taxpaying

public and to student borrowers to ensure that students understand their income to debt ratio, as an example.

My bipartisan legislation, the Know Before You Owe Federal Student Loan Act, would strengthen loan counseling requirements and establish a more transparent process in which institutions of higher education take steps to help student borrowers graduate with less debt hanging over their heads. Apart from my legislation, colleges should take care to keep tuition and living expenses as low as possible to avoid putting pressure on students to borrow more than they can afford.

Q: How would your bill address staggering student debt in America?

A: As a fiscal conservative, I share the tight-fisted views of hard-working Iowans who agree that Washington can’t tax, spend or borrow its way to prosperity. Borrowing beyond one’s means or potential ability to repay puts future prosperity at risk.

A sensible rule of thumb for student borrowers is not to take on more debt than what is necessary to pay for college.

A University of Iowa estimate suggests about 40 percent of the average $25,000 student loan debt exceeds what is needed to pay tuition, room and board.

That means a student borrower graduates with an extra $10,000 debt burden.

That makes it even harder to stretch a paycheck to pay other monthly bills, such as rent, in-

surance and utilities. And let’s be clear. The federal government shouldn’t lend more than is necessary and underwrite lifestyle extras that aren’t necessary to earn a college education.

Student borrowers need to come to grips with the size and scope of their debt burden. That’s why my bill would upgrade the student loan counseling provision into an annual requirement, not just for firsttime borrowers. It also would require colleges to furnish an estimate of a student’s projected debt to income ratio that forecasts a repayment schedule with the starting wages in their particular field of study; inform student borrowers how not graduating on time would add significantly to their debt burden; and to counsel them against the risks of over-borrowing.

Again, students need to understand they do not need to borrow the maximum amount for which they are eligible. Finally, my bill would require that students receive regular statements about their loan while they are still in school, not just when they must start repaying.

Regular reminders about one’s repayment responsibilities will help promote mindful borrowing, as opposed to an out of sight, out of mind debt burden.

Knowing what you owe, before you go to college, will help make the next generation of students smarter borrowers and better financial stewards.

These are invaluable lifetime lessons that will pay it forward for years to come.

On a recent Sunday drive with Ginnie, we entered a town where the houses, for the most part, were in good order, the yards neat and trim, and the neighb o r hoods generally well By Curt Swarm c a r e d Guest Columnist for. Parents were out in yards playing with children, or doing odd jobs about the house. In more than one instance, we witnessed groups of people working together siding, roofing or fixing up a home. “What a Norman Rockwell picture,” Ginnie commented.

“Pure Americana.”

“Do you know what makes this town so attractive?” I asked. “Hispanics.

This is a packing-plant town. The majority of workers are Hispanic. A lot of white Americans won’t work in packing plants.”

We entered another town and were shocked by the disorder. It looked like Hurricane Katrina had swept through. There was junk strewn about, no one was out in the yards playing, and at some homes, weeds were growing taller than a man’s head. The city park, if you could call it that, was a trash dump, the streets were full of water-filled potholes, and every other home was a beat up, rusty, window-broken trailer. Packs of mongrel dogs roamed the streets. It was obvious there was no pride in this town. We even saw the proverbial lace-tied shoes thrown over a power line in front of one trailer. “Let’s get out of here,” Ginnie sighed. “It’s scary.

No packing plant, no Hispanics, right?”

“Yup. Disgusting.”

I’ve been an insurance salesman for twenty-some years, the early part of it door-to-door insurance sales. It’s safe to say I’ve been in thousands of homes, many of them Hispanic. I want to go on record here by stating that I have never been in a Hispanic home where the

people weren’t polite and friendly, the children clean and well dressed, and the homes neat and tidy. Hispanics are, for the most part, God-fearing, conservative, hard working people. Often I am offered something to eat — tacos, enchiladas, tamales. The people seem to sense I’m a big eater and enjoy feeding me.

On the other hand, I have been in way too many homes of White Americans where I had to hold my nose at the door, be careful that I didn’t trip over broken steps, and wonder at the 60-inch television set. And these people would be obese and on welfare. Recently, I called the police after I left a home. A white grandmother was being kept like a prisoner, in a dank, dirty basement, by her children. In another situation, the smell of animal feces was so strong, I had to go home, shower and change clothes before I could go to my next appointment. I’m serious.

I won’t mention any names, but I’m fed up with a certain politician running for president, (his name rhymes with “chump”) who claims Hispanics are rapists and murderers, wants to build a wall at the Mexican border, and deport 12 million hard-working, God-fearing, honest people who are an asset to this country.

He sort of reminds me of a certain German dictator who convinced his people that the problem in their country was the Jews.

In my opinion, we should open the borders and let Mexicans in. We need them to save our country! There’s way too much inbreeding in the U.S. We need new blood to mix with the gene pool, and good people to fix up our broken down cities and towns. Hispanics are one of the few people left with true American values: hard work, honesty, and trust in God. Furthermore, our immigrant problem in the United States is small potatoes compared to what’s going on in Europe.

Call me a bleeding-heart liberal if you want, I consider it a compliment.

Whistleblower is dismayed by lack of official response

DEAR ABBY: I am a widow in my early 50s. While I was dating a prominent OB-GYN, I found out that he’s involved in criminal activity — operating a so-called “pill mill.” On our last date he asked me to join an escort service he was starting.

I notified the medical board of the state he’s practicing in and various government agencies. It amazes me that he is still practicing. He’s doing abortions, which means he has access to vulnerable young women. Knowing this, I have lost trust in our medical establishment. Nothing seems to affect this man’s success and practice.

I have given up and am moving far away. What should I do? Have I done everything possible? This is obviously a very difficult situation for me. I am deeply concerned about his patients.

I’m getting therapy now for my trust issues because of this experience. Is there anything else I should be doing?

— MS. X, SOMEWHERE IN THE USA DEAR MS. X: Having notified the proper authorities about this man’s activities, you have done everything you can. The only thing left is for you to concentrate on healing yourself, and your therapist can help you with that. I wish you luck in your recovery.

DEAR ABBY: I wrote to you about my 97-year-old mother who was in failing health. My question was how to notify her out-of-state elderly friends with news of her passing when the time came. My idea was to use her address book/Christmas card list for addresses and then print a copy of her obituary with a short message thanking those friends for their letters, cards and support during her life. You sent me back a note that positively reinforced my idea.

My mother passed away earlier this year. I mailed the letters and received a response from almost every single person. Each one thanked me for letting them know the sad news. With your encouragement, I was able to handle

this matter with respect and dignity.

Thank you so much. — GAYLE IN ARIZONA DEAR GAYLE: You’re welcome.

I occasionally hear from readers asking if people I have advised actually follow my advice. I’m pleased my encouragement worked well for you. Thank you for letting us know.

DEAR ABBY: My boyfriend and I have been dating for five years and have three wonderful children between us. Now, after a year of living together, we have begun to talk about marriage.

We are happy, but we are introverted people and our main focus at this time is on raising our kids. This has left us with few friendships and only a couple of close family members. If we do decide to get married, I’m worried about how many people we would be able to invite or if there would even be enough people to be in the ceremony itself.

Do you have any suggestions for this kind of situation? — SHY BRIDE IN KANSAS DEAR SHY BRIDE: Yes, I do.

A wedding doesn’t have to be big and fancy to be beautiful and meaningful.

That’s why I suggest you and your boyfriend be married quietly in a ceremony officiated by a justice of the peace or clergyperson of your choice. Ask your relatives and close friends to accompany you while you take your vows and have a small celebration afterward commensurate with your budget.

5 No-kill shelter seeks to raise money by raffling off rifle

OTTUMWA — A central Iowa animal shelter committed to not killing the dogs and cats in its care is raising money by raffling off a gun. The Heartland Human Society in Ottumwa is raffling off a Colt M4 carbine rifle in an effort to raise $10,000. Ottumwa resident Geri Fogle says the rifle makes her think of violence and killing — which goes counter to the mission of the no-kill shelter.

Healthiest State Walk goal achieved: Iowans walk in all 99 counties Newton Daily News Iowans in every county of the state on Wednesday voted with their feet in support of the Healthiest State Initiative, marking the first time in the Healthiest State Walk’s five-year history that organized walks were held in all of Iowa’s 99 counties.

“The annual Healthiest State Walk is a great opportunity for Iowans to show their continuing support for Iowa to become the healthiest state in the nation,” said Jeff Russell, president and CEO of Delta Dental of Iowa and co-chair of the 2015 Healthiest State Walk.

“More than 1.1 million

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News DMACC increased the number of participants who took part in the fifth annual Healthiest State Walk Wednesday. Groups from Skiff, Hy-Vee and Optimae, among others, made a point to take a walk to help Iowa become the healthiest state in the nation.

Iowans have participated in the previous four

walks, and this year we wanted our focus to be

on statewide participation with the goal of

having organized walks in every Iowa county.”

Russell said that the Healthiest State Initiative partnered with the State Fire Marshal Division to engage Iowans throughout the state. “With this year’s theme of ‘Walk at the Whistle,’ we encouraged schools, communities and businesses to coordinate walks with fire drills to increase awareness of fire safety and a healthier Iowa.”

Those efforts, including support from Live Healthy Iowa, helped lead to more than 970 walks throughout the state and in all 99 Iowa counties.

Delta Dental of Iowa was presenting sponsor

of the 2015 Healthiest State Walk.

“Delta Dental of Iowa is committed to improving the health and the smiles of the people we serve,” Russell said. “We were proud to sponsor the Healthiest State Walk again this year.”

The Healthiest State Initiative is a privately led, public effort that engages Iowans and their communities throughout the state.

It involves individuals, families, businesses, faith-based organizations, nonprofits and the public sector in a broad-based, community-focused effort.

Researcher: Lemurs living miserable lives at Iowa zoo CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — Three lemurs at a northeast Iowa zoo at the center of a lawsuit likely have stressful lives being apart from fellow members of their species, a Duke University researcher testified Tuesday.

Peter Klopfer’s testimony came during the second day of the trial of the federal lawsuit against Cricket Hollow Zoo. Several Iowa residents and the Animal Legal Defense Fund sued the zoo and its operators, seeking to keep it from possessing endangered species.

The lawsuit alleges that

lions, tigers, gray wolves and lemurs at the zoo are under physical and mental distress. California veterinarian Jennifer Conrad testified Monday that all animals at the zoo should be removed and sent to a sanctuary.

Klopfer, who works at the Duke Lemur Center, said the lemurs at Cricket Hollow Zoo are “living miserable lives.” The owners said in court records that the lemurs live in separate cages, but Klopfer said the highly social animals are better suited to live in groups.

The researcher said he

looked at photos of the zoo and inspection records, and said the animals are living in small, dirty cages and he was “appalled” by the conditions.

“It would be very unpleasant to the lemurs to have to cope with that,” he said.

At least lemurs have died at the zoo since 2006.

Klopfer said the zoo’s environment might leave them more vulnerable to disease and death. Records provided by the zoo say the causes attributed to their deaths included old age and a brain inflammation.

In 1898, Howard Snyder, a rural Austin, Minnesota farm boy accepted an offer from Frederick L. Maytag to start working at the Parsons Band Cutter & Self Feeder Company in Newton, Iowa. This marked the start of Snyder’s inventive career of nearly thirty years culminating in a series of innovations that propelled the Maytag name to the forefront as an iconic brand among washing machine manufacturers. Dr. Tom Hoover, a Newton Iowa historian, has written a book entitled How We Made The Gyrafoam: The Story of Two Midwestern Farm Boys Who Changed Washday Mondays Forever, which is now available. The book follows the life of Howard Snyder, raised near Rose Creek, Minnesota, and reveals the role Frederick L. Maytag, a farm boy from Laurel, Iowa, played as his benefactor and friend. Together these two outstanding men led The Maytag Company to the top of the washing machine world in 1926.

Rails-to-Trails, downtown revitalization key to PC Hometown Pride

By Mike Mendenhall Prairie City News Prairie City’s Hometown Pride Committee Chairperson Tony Ladehoff said when the group first coalesced earlier this year, the members asked themselves three questions.

“The philosophy is where are we at now as a city, where do we want to be in five years and how do we get there?” he said.

The group consists of eight members plus a community coach who is funded by Keep Iowa Beautiful and the other participating Hometown Pride Communities in Jasper County.

The Prairie City committee consists of residents Sue Ponder, Joan Van Gorp, Kirsten Emmack, Linda Fraiser and Diane Taylor. City staff and government are also represented by Prairie City City Administrator Manny Toribio, Mayor Chad Alleger and Prairie City City Council Member Lyle Burkett.

Ladehoff said the committee members have spent a lot of time discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the community and have put together a five-year plan.

One of the committee’s focal points is to better market Prairie City. Ladehoff said the committee wants to promote the town as a “great place to live that’s close to the Des Moines metro with a great

school system.”

“Those of us that live in Prairie City know what a great town we have. We just have to get the message out there.” he said.

Although the committee, like all Jasper County Hometown Pride groups, is in its infancy, the members have already identified several projects they see as integral in Prairie City’s near and long-term futures.

Ladehoff said the committee has become engaged in the Prairie City Rails-to-Trails Corridor acquisition.

The 10.75-mile stretch, extending from Highway F62 W southeast of Prairie City through

Jasper County to Highway S27 near Mitchellville, is a project which has been in development for more than 1.5 years and is part of a larger vision to connect Marion, Jasper and Polk counties with a paved recreational trail system.

The rail right-of-way is still owned by the Iowa Interstate Railroad, but Toribio and the Iowa National Heritage Foundation have been working on a rail banking process which will allow governmental and nongovernmental agencies use of the greenway.

Jasper County Hometown Pride Community Coach Jeff Davidson and Toribio have ap-

plied for a $75,000 Iowa Department of Natural Resources REAP City Parks and Open Space Grant in conjunction with the Iowa National Heritage Foundation to fund the beginning stages of the trail project.

Prairie City’s Railsto-Trails ranked third out of 33 projects in the preliminary scoring for the grant released Sept.

16. Selections for the awards were Sept. 17 and Toribio said the city should know this week if it received the funds, which will be used in the Monroe to Prairie City path development. A total of $728,543 in projects were requested and the IDNR has $516,889 in available funds.

To make each town a “destination” stop on the trail, Davidson has secured an agreement with the University of Iowa’s Capstone Class through the College of Engineering civil engineering department, to produce conceptual designs for trail head features at points both in Prairie City and Monroe. He said the class will produce the designs over a one to two semester period, and since the class will work on the project free of charge, the work will not be contingent on the REAP Grant.

The committee and Davidson are also developing an off-route in Prairie City to divert future bicycle and pedestrian traffic away from Heartland Co-op for safety reasons.

The community coach oversaw a handful of Capstone projects during his career in Iowa City’s economic development department, including the redesign of a rural gravel road into a paved arterial to support housing and commercial development on the city’s eastern border.

Davidson and Ladehoff see the trail as a potential economic boon for Prairie City and point to Iowa communities such as Sheldahl and Slater connected by the success of the High Trestle Trail.

Davidson has been in communication with the Des Moines Area Metro Planning Association to get people through the entire central Iowa trail

system on board with the project.

“We hopefully can find the resources to complete the public sector part of the project,” Davidson said. “We’ve to get a paved surface on it. I’ve worked with nonpaved trails and they are not handicap accessible and (the trails) are temperamental. We hope that will motivate the private sector to respond and will be something that creates private investment in Prairie City and Monroe.”

The committee is also in the exploratory phase of proposing to convert some of Prairie City’s downtown empty second floor space into modern loft-style apartment housing, which Davidson called a current trend in some small towns.

Another element of the hometown pride committee’s plan would be to promote existing businesses and draw new businesses to downtown and Prairie City as a whole. Ladehoff said the committee also hopes to develop a plan to revitalize downtown structures and execute a facade program to enrich the look of Prairie City’s downtown.

“If you look at what Colfax has done with that, it’s worked out well for them,” Ladehoff said.

CEDAR RAPIDS (AP) — Four former prison guards at a maximum security penitentiary in eastern Iowa used illegal drugs while armed at work, and one smuggled in cellphones for inmates, a state U.S. attorney said Tuesday in announcing charges.

Kevin W. Techau, U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Iowa, said Garrett Barton, Ethan Darrow, Marques Maryland and Seth Vogel are charged in connection with activity while on the job at Anamosa State Penitentiary in 2014. Prosecutors say the men used illegal drugs while armed with assault rifles and on guard tower duty.

Public documents say Barton used marijuana and prescription controlled substances that were not prescribed to him. Darrow is accused of using marijuana, cocaine and prescription controlled substances. Prosecutors say Barton, Darrow and Vogel traded drugs.

Barton and Darrow, both 29 and from nearby Anamosa, each face one count in federal court of being an unlawful drug user in possession of firearms.

Darrow entered a guilty plea on Monday.

Pregame Outlook —

Cardinals focus on improving in challenge of Pella

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Newton High’s Cardinals have the 19th-ranked rusher in Class 3A in senior running back Joseph Banfield. They have averaged 22 points per game this season. Senior linebacker Duncan Lee is ninth in total tackles in Class 3A. Unfortunately, the Cardinals have allowed 33 points per game this season. They’ve given up an average of 284 yards rushing per game and 72 yards passing. Newton is behind in the defensive takeaway category with just two interceptions and eight fumble recoveries.

Newton takes an 0-6 mark into Friday’s non-district game against defending 3A champion and top-ranked Pella’s Little Dutch. The Little Dutch are one of five 6-0 teams in Class 3A. Kickoff is 7:30 p.m. at the Pella Community High School stadium.

“There aren’t any chinks in their game. Pella is a very talented, disciplined and well-coached team,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said. “They have had two exceptionally talented classes back-to-back.”

Ergenbright leads the Cardinals into the seventh game of the season with the mindset of working hard and competing to get better as a team. He said the Cardinal players have responded well as they’ve worked through the tough season they are having.

“We’ve focused on controlling what we can control, which is our level of play and execution. Watching film on a team, you look for ways to attack it and how to slow its offense down. That will be tough against the defending state champion, but we can go out Friday night and compete,” Ergenbright said.

“This group of kids does not give up. They’ve shown that all season. They are not

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High sophomore quarterback Garrett Sturtz (4) runs for a big gain in the Cardinals’ season opener at Knoxville. The Cardinals are working to improve as they take on Class 3A top-ranked and defending state champion Pella Friday. The non-district game kicks off at 7:30 p.m. in Pella.

going to quit against a team like Pella either.”

Pella is led by senior quarterback Noah Clayberg and senior running back Nathan Henry. Clayberg is fourth in total offense — 683 yards rushing and 786 yards passing — in 3A. Henry has rushed for 454 yards on 74 carries.

Clayberg has scored 10 rushing touchdowns and thrown 12 touchdown passes.

Senior Will Warner is 10th in scoring in 3A with 42 points on seven touchdown catches along with two field goals and 25 extra-point

kicks. Warner has 19 catches for 243 yards and senior Payson Vande Lune has 13 catches for 250 yards.

“They are big and very athletic up front. They don’t have many players who play both ways for them. They have made a lot of good teams look bad,” Ergenbright said.

Ergenbright said the Cardinals executed pretty well offensively against Ballard, but fumbled the ball away four times. He pointed out that hasn’t happened to the Cardinals in one game in previous contests this season.

“We’re working on doing things better and improving.

We know this is a major challenge for our team, but our kids continue to work hard in practices,” Ergenbright said.

Banfield has rushed for 682 yards on 130 carries and scored eight touchdowns.

Dalton Nevels, another senior, has carried the ball 61 times for 385 yards and scored four touchdowns.

Garrett Sturtz is 31-of-53 for 247 yards passing with two touchdown passes. Bryce Tish had nine catches for 93 yards to lead the receiving corps.

Newton has given away the ball 14 times — seven fumbles and seven interceptions.

Pella has recorded 22 takeaways — 11 interceptions and 11 fumble recoveries.

Lee leads the Cardinal defense with 41 solo tackles and 16.5 assisted tackles. The senior linebacker has seven tackles for loss, and he has returned a fumble for a touchdown.

Austin James has 25 solo tackles and 17 assisted tackles.

Lynnville-Sully seeks quick start against GMG

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News The last thing Lynnville-Sully wants to do Friday night is allow Green Mountain-Garwin to gain any kind of confidence.

The Wolverines have been shut out in three of their four Class A District 7 games, and the Hawks hope to keep them in reverse by getting out to a fast start.

“It’s been a big thing for us this week,” Lynnville-Sully coach Mike Parkinson said. “We never want to underestimate our opponent. We want to have the mindset that we are the team that plays better and the team that is more physical.”

GMG’s only win on the season came against North Tama (0-6) in non-district action.

The closest the Wolverines (1-5, 0-4) have come in district play was a 41-20 defeat to North Mahaska.

Jacob Burt has completed just seven passes this year and thrown five picks. Freshman Brock Baldaze leads the rushing attack with 315 yards and five scores and freshman Blaze Krull has three interceptions to lead the defense.

Lynnville-Sully (3-3, 2-2) has hovered around .500 all season. A win Friday would push them past that mark for the second time this year. The Hawks could get some valuable pieces back, too.

Sage Ehresman has rushed for 570 yards and eight touchdowns, but the senior captain has missed the past two games with an injury.

Parkinson thinks he’ll have the injured players available by Friday, but if Ehresman can’t go the Hawks now have the ability to put a dent in opposing defenses through the air.

Taylor Van Zante got his opportunity at quarterback when Kobe Fisk went down with an injury against Colfax-Mingo. Fisk has returned to action but was moved to wide receiver, and Van Zante continues to get better each week. He threw for 303 yards in a win over Iowa Valley earlier this season.

“We knew what Tyler could do, but we were just

Area Prep Football Game Previews kind of waiting for the light to come on,” Parkinson said. “He’s come along more each week and we are excited about him. We also know that Kobe is someone we have to keep on the field.”

As a wide receiver, Fisk gives the team another threat to go along with Noah Engle and Caden Dunsbergen.

The Hawks are coming off a 44-0 loss to Class A No. 2 BGM. GMG lost to BGM 81-0 earlier this year and the two teams have two other common opponents. Lynnville-Sully defeated Montezuma 10-7, while the Braves defeated GMG 57-0.

Against Iowa Valley, the Hawks won 42-14, while GMG lost 30-0.

However, Parkinson has stressed to his team all week that anything can happen when the lights come on. That’s why he seeks a fast start against a Wolverine team that may be lacking in confidence.

“Anything can happen,” Parkinson said. “We are going to have to execute, we are going to have to get our running game going and be more physical at the point of attack.

“We don’t want them to have any success early because if you give a team like GMG a little bit of confidence it becomes problematic.”

Friday night’s kickoff will be at 7 p.m. in Sully.

PCM (5-1, 3-0) at Clarke (0-6, 0-4) in Osceola, 7:30 p.m.

This game features two teams that are going in the opposite direction. PCM has won five straight and is averaging 43 points per game during that stretch, while Clarke’s last win came in the 2013 season opener, a skid that has reached 24 straight games.

Clarke is one of four Class 2A teams still searching for its first win. The Indians scored 28 points in a 20-point loss to Colfax-Mingo but has not scored more than eight since that Week 2 game.

Clarke features three quarterbacks who have thrown at least 24 passes and seven players who have at least 10 carries. Gabe Crawford leads the receivers with 253 yards on 19 catches and three touchdowns.

The Mustangs are relying heavily on the arm of senior Logan Gilman, but Logan Littrell also has rushed for 513 yards and nine scores.

Gilman is fifth in 2A in passing yards with 1,201 and is tied for first with 17 touchdown passes. Most of his passes have gone to either Luke Greiner or Noah Clark, who have combined for 52 catches and 855 yards. Greiner is second in 2A with nine touchdowns, while Clark is tied for third with seven.

Reid Jenkins leads a Mustang defense that has recorded two shutouts this year. Jenkins has a teamhigh 47.5 tackles.

Kicker Chase Wilkie is 29-of-31 in PATs, 2-for-2 in field goals and has 17 touchbacks in 39 attempts.

Albia (6-0, 3-0) at Collins-Maxwell/Baxter (5-1, 2-1) in Baxter, 7:30 p.m.

The short-handed Raiders will have their hands full against the No. 1 ranked team in Class 2A during this District 7 matchup.

Brady Stover is expected to miss another game with a shoulder injury and CMB may not have the four players who were suspended earlier this year for another game.

Those losses won’t help the Raiders against a Blue Demons squad who has outscored district opponents 162-6. Albia has recorded back-to-back shutouts, and the closest game it has played in this season was a 62-21 win over Pella Christian.

Carter Isley leads the Albia offense. Isley, who recently committed to wrestle at Northern Iowa, is second in 2A with 1,092 yards and 19 touchdowns.

Blake Lawless leads the defense with 53.5 tackles and two sacks.

Pressure is on new coach Steve Prohm at Iowa State AMES (AP) — Five months ago, Iowa State’s Steve Prohm was the coach at mid-major Murray State. Now he’s in charge of one of the big favorites in the Big 12.

Prohm officially began his first season in charge of the Cyclones on Tuesday with the team’s annual media day.

Iowa State has all the pieces to make a run at the league title and more — provided that Prohm can handle coaching college basketball at the highest level, of course.

In the minds of Prohm’s players, the Cyclones have nothing to worry about.

“Coach (Prohm) is in here earning our trust and our respect every day,” said senior Georges Niang.

“Even though he’s not trying to cross any of our toes, he puts his foot down when he needs to and lets us know that stuff needs to get done. I think he has a great combination of how to keep us motivated...and still be stern and be able to get the most out of us.”

Fred Hoiberg’s departure for the Chicago Bulls after five mostly successful seasons gave Prohm a shot at a national title. The roster Hoiberg left behind for Prohm is loaded.

Niang, a likely preseason firstteam All-American, second-team All-Big 12 point guard Monte Morris and league defensive player of the year Jameel McKay headline one of the nation’s most talented starting units. Throw in veterans like Naz Long, Matt Thomas, Abdel Nader and transfer Deonte Burton, and Prohm might have the best roster a new Power Five coach has inherited since Bill Guthridge took over for Dean Smith at North

Adam Ring/Marshalltown Times-Republican Iowa State men’s basketball coach Steve Prohm begins his first season with the Cyclones, who have high expectations in Ames.

Carolina in 1997.

Guthridge reached the Final Four with his first team.

Prohm isn’t shying away from the notion that Iowa State is among the handful of teams with serious national title aspirations.

“Yeah, they’re realistic,” Prohm said when asked about the sky-high expectations for this year’s team. “I think we have the opportunity to have a very special season.”

The similarities between what type of styles Prohm and Hoiberg use was cited as a big reason why Iowa State hired him. Hoiberg even lobbied for Prohm to athletic director Jamie Pollard.

To that end, Prohm is going to let his players have a ton of input on how they play. Prohm doesn’t plan many changes, just tweaks that mostly involve techniques to improve Iowa State’s somewhat inconsistent rebounding and defense.

Warren’s emergence comes at perfect time in Cyclones’ season AMES (AP) — Mike Warren’s emergence is coming at the right time for Iowa State.

The Cyclones running back has rushed for 301 yards in the last two games, including a 175yard effort in last Saturday’s victory over Kansas, the most ever by an Iowa State (2-2, 1-0 Big 12) freshman.

He could play a key role in the weeks ahead because the Cyclones’ next three opponents are the Big 12’s top three offensive teams — Texas Tech, TCU and Baylor.

Iowa State’s defense may depend on the Cyclone ground game to chew up clock and keep those offenses off the field.

Texas Tech is first up Saturday in Lubbock, Texas. The Red Raiders (3-2, 0-2) are averaging 602.8 yards and 50 points per game.

“We don’t want to end up in a shootout,” Iowa State coach Paul Rhoads said Monday.

Enter Warren, whose rise has been meteoric.

He played on the scout team in 2014 and saw little action in the first two games this year, carrying only nine times for 28 yards. Now, after running for 126 yards in an overtime loss at To-

Arrieta silences Pirates in Cubs’ NL wild-card victory PITTSBURGH (AP) — These Chicago Cubs are supposed to be too young to be here.

Or maybe they’re just too good to care.

Jake Arrieta allowed four hits in nine dominant innings and the Arrieta Cubs rolled to a 4-0 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates in the NL wild-card game Wednesday night.

Arrieta struck out 11 without a walk. He also dusted himself off after getting plunked by Pittsburgh reliever Tony Watson to send the Cubs to the NL Division Series in St. Louis starting on Friday.

“I’m exhausted. I haven’t felt this way all year,” said Arrieta, who led the majors with 22 wins. “This atmosphere, the energy was unbelievable. Tried to use it to the best of my ability. They were loud, they were really loud.”

Dexter Fowler homered and scored three times for the Cubs. Kyle Schwarber added a towering two-run shot off Pittsburgh starter Gerrit Cole as Chicago raced to an early lead and let Arrieta do the rest.

The largest crowd ever at PNC Park failed to rattle Arrieta or one of baseball’s youngest teams. First-year manager Joe Maddon’s club played with swagger and confidence and looked right at home while snapping a nine-game playoff losing streak that dated to the 2003 NL Championship Series.

“It’s tremendous for the city. It’s been a while,” Arrieta said. “Chicago’s been waiting for this.”

Pittsburgh was knocked out after finishing second in the majors with 98 victories this year. Last year, the Pirates also were shut out on four hits in the wild-card game, losing to the Giants.

“Well, sports is hard.

Life’s not fair. You go out

and play. You get beat, you move on,” manager Clint Hurdle said.

The bearded, 29-year-old Arrieta, still unbeaten since July 25, stretched his remarkable second half — in which he posted an 0.75 ERA — into the opening round of the playoffs. He threw the first complete-game shutout for the Cubs in the postseason since Claude Passeau tossed a one-hitter in the 1945 World Series against Detroit.

Arrieta even laughed off a weird sequence in the seventh when Watson’s fastball hit him in his left side.

The benches and bullpens cleared when Watson was issued a warning, leading to little more than a few heated exchanges.

“I hit two guys, unintentionally. I’m not trying to hurt or hit anybody,” Arrieta said. “Balls were slick tonight. I just lost it a couple of times, it kind of ran away from me.

“I expected that. They’re going to take care of their own guys. It’s understandable. Everything after that was fine.”

Pirates utility player Sean Rodriguez, who’d already been pulled, was ejected and proceeded to give an unsuspecting water cooler a series of one-two combinations, eventually sending it tumbling to the ground.

Pittsburgh had no such luck against Arrieta, with Hurdle seemingly flummoxed on how to get to attack a right-hander who has matured from raw project into overpowering force.

Hurdle shelved slugger Pedro Alvarez — whose 27 homers led the team but whose 23 errors made him a defensive liability — in favor of more sure-handed Rodriguez. Hurdle pointed to the athleticism Rodriguez brought as a major factor, figuring the Pirates would need to get creative to score against Arrieta rather than hope Alvarez runs into the kind of mistake Arrieta has avoided nearly all season.

ledo and his big game against Kansas, he’s sixth in the league in rushing and averaging 6.9 yards per carry.

“He’s starting to grow up,” Rhoads said. “The cuts he made (against Kansas) and the timing of which he made them and why he was able to make them is because of where his vision was. He didn’t do that before the Toledo game.”

Even with that happening, Warren seems surprised by his success.

He had expected to begin the season buried deep on the depth chart.

But two running backs who had eligibility remaining are no longer on the team, and the run game struggled the first two weeks with Tyler Brown as the feature back, so Warren got his chance.

“I didn’t think this time was going to come for a long time,” he said.

“But things happen.

Players left. It was just my time to step up. I knew I had to step up.”

No ISU player has rushed for 100 yards in three consecutive games since Alexander Robinson did in 2010, and no freshman at Iowa State has ever topped 100 yard three times in a season.

Prep Previews Continued from Page 1B CMB’s two-quarterback system will have to be on its game against Albia, which reached the state semifinals last year but lost to CMB 21-20 in district play.

Nate Bishop has thrown for 698 yards and seven touchdowns, while Hunter McWhirter has thrown for 477 yards and rushed for 169 and four scores.

Charles Robertson leads the defense with 35.5 tackles and has also rushed for four touchdowns on offense. Brad Ritter has five sacks.

Stover has been missed the last two weeks. He has thrown a touchdown, rushed for four scores, caught four touchdown passes and returned an interception for a touchdown this year.

Colfax-Mingo (5-1, 4-0) at Iowa Valley (1-5, 1-3) at Marengo, 7 p.m.

One week after its defense led them to a big Class A District 7 win over Montezuma, Colfax-Mingo will take its record-setting offense to Iowa Valley for another district contest.

The Tigerhawks’ offense features the school’s all-time leading passer in Jared Myers and two of the top receivers in school history in Jacob Lietz and Blake Summy, but it was the defense last week that held the defending district champion Braves to nine points.

This week shouldn’t be near as tough.

Iowa Valley has lost two straight games and its only win came against GMG, which is also 1-5. In those two losses the past two weeks, Iowa Valley was outscored 76-28 against Lynnville-Sully and Belle Plaine.

Gavin Collingwood has only thrown for 220 yards and tossed nine interceptions. Iowa Valley’s best offensive threat is Bennett Goettsch, who has rushed for 780 yards and nine scores. Jacob Krakow is the team’s top receiver (nine catches, 172 yards, one touchdown) and leading tackler (40).

Myers leads Class A with 1,680 passing yards and is tied for the lead with 17 touchdown passes. Lietz (43), Summy (28) and Colin Lourens (25) are all in the top five in receptions. Lietz (510) and Summy (518) are in the top five in receiving yards and Summy is tied for fourth with seven touchdown catches.

A win Friday over Iowa Valley would set up Colfax-Mingo’s district showdown with No. 2 BGM in Colfax the following week.

Astrograph

Venus crosses into Virgo beginning a transit that highlights love’s more helpful qualities.

For those who have been infatuated, the love-sickness will start to fade away as those who love make their affection tangibly evident. Proof tends toward the practical because that is mostly what’s needed these days. The takeaway: Love is a verb.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 8). On the day you were born, the sunshine streamed into your soul. This year you radiate that same brightness and warmth into the souls of others. The next three weeks show you promoting what you love and making a difference.

Your glass-half-full attitude will get you hired or appointed in November. Sagittarius and Taurus people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 40, 21, 24, 39 and 11.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

Are your spirits lifting for no apparent reason? Other people are thinking fondly about you, and through mysterious channels this has a way of lifting your spirits. They like you more than you might have guessed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

There is little more satisfying now than reaping the rewards of efforts you made so long ago that you can barely

remember them now. If you’re on a waiting list, get ready, because your name is nearing the top.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

You know what your weakness is, but they don’t. All they see is a person building on inherent strengths. Keep this up, and you’ll be promoted inside of this year.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

Maturity is your strongest asset now. The thing that made you feel afraid, squeamish, embarrassed or uncomfortable when you were younger will be the springboard for today’s power move.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). It won’t feel quite as necessary to give intensely passionate

energy to your endeavors as it might have felt yesterday.

What makes sense is to embrace the gentler side of life -- to focus less on doing and more on being.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

It’s fun to be a part of something, but not when the meetings and administration take up more time than the actual endeavor that’s bringing you all together. Reevaluate your involvement.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23).

Chances are you’re not sure what to do. Make the choice that’s going to leave you with the most options later.

The others may not like that you’re hedging your bets, but ultimately it will work to your advantage.

Full-Time or 2 Part-Time Openings for Homemaker Consider joining a great team as we continue our mission of commitment to compassion, excellence and innovation! We offer a competitive wage and complete benefit package.

DAILY NEWS 641-792-5320

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21).

When you invest yourself in something, you are giving more than money could ever buy. You are seeding your investment with a life force that will extend beyond you in ways you can’t anticipate.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The thing you wish you were doing is not the thing required of you. It’s the norm for most people, but if you really want those long stretches of hours to devote to what you love, you’ll find a way to make it happen.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). It might not technically be your problem, but if you can easily solve it, you’ll generously do so. As for the more complicated problems of oth-

ers, you’re better off not to get involved.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Imagine that everyone is cheering for you. It’s not exactly true, but you do have enough fans to push on to greater heights if you’ll only connect with them and let them encourage you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).
