Four new Downtown Micro-Grant projects moving forward

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News Four new downtown building projects were approved for use of the city’s Downtown Micro-Grant Program.

The Courthouse Mall building, 128 N. Second Ave. E., 213 First Ave. W. and 205 First Ave. W. were all given the green light by city council to receive various renovations and updates to continue efforts to improve downtown aesthetics.

Courthouse Mall Historically known as the Thriftway Grocery Store, the building located at 101 First Ave. E., was built in 1949 following the vacancy of the property after a fire in 1921. The building was occupied by the grocery store with a bowling alley in the basement until 1958. It then housed a Kresge store, the predecessor to K-Mart, Jupiter and C-Mart.

In the mid-1980s, the building was renamed Courthouse Mall and was converted to a mini-mall concept with space for several businesses.

The building has been under construction recently past with the removal of non-historic façade, installation of new windows and improvements to the brickwork. Michael Muta will receive a $2,500 grant for a new GRANTS | 3A

By Jamee A. Pierson Newton Daily News A more than $1.2 million decrease in the school district’s general fund for fiscal year 2016 was announced at the Newton Community School District Board of Education meeting on Monday.

Gayle Isaac, director of Business Services, gave the year end treasurer’s report to the school board at its regular meeting at the Beard Administration Center.

At the start of FY2016, the school’s general fund sat at $3,096,115. By the year’s end, the fund decreased to $1,835,789, causing concerns from the board.

Trump’s video scandal was mentioned but wasn’t a highlight of Vilsack’s speech.

Vilsack instead focused on Trump’s tax returns and Warren Buffett’s revelation that he’s paid federal taxes for 72 years.

NCSD has $1.2 million decrease in general fund over the past few years,” Isaac said. “When I got here in 2009, we were at $4 million and we have been going down. This is the biggest drop we have made in a number of years.”

Three major contributing factors to the decrease came from lost revenue, a special education deficit and tuition costs for the Gateway program through DMACC. Isaac said last year’s decrease was much more substantial than he has seen in previous years.

In part because of a decrease in enrollment, the district saw approximately $400,000 fewer NCSD | 3A

Agriculture

www.newtondailynews.com | Tuesday | Oct. 11, 2016

In Brief Ag cooperatives’ profits up in 2015 to a record $7 billion DES MOINES (AP) — Agriculture cooperatives posted record profits last year highlighting the business model the U.S. Department of Agriculture says provides more than 2 million jobs.

The USDA says in a report Tuesday net income for the nation’s 29,000 cooperatives rose in 2015 by 14 percent to a record $7 billion.

Cooperatives have been set up by dairy farmers, fruit and vegetable growers and livestock producers among others. They’re often designed to allow farmers to own and control product marketing and share in the profits.

Iowa is first with 15 of the top 100 cooperatives ranked by revenue followed by Minnesota and Nebraska.

The three largest cooperatives are CHS Inc., a Minnesota-based fuel, grain and food cooperative; Missouri-based Dairy Farmers of America and Minnesota-based Land O’Lakes, a dairy foods and farm supply co-op.

Jason W. Brooks/Daily News Sen. Jack Whitver, a Grinnell native who now serves a legislative district that represents northern Polk County, talked about some agriculture topics when he spoke at a recent Jasper County Republicans event. However, for the most part, ag topics haven’t come up that often in this election cycle — especially in national races.

voters are older Americans. Alex Brand, an Ellsworth, Wis. native and Iowa State University sophomore who is politically active, recently told Iowa Public Television he’s disappointed the Trans-Pacific Partnership hasn’t been discussed much by presidential candidates or in their interviews or debates.

State-level candidates have covered more ag subjects — especially since Gov. Terry Branstad, a Republican, has made improvement of water quality a stated priority. At a recent GOP campaign event, both Sen. Amy Sinclair and Rep. Greg Heartsill, who are campaigning for re-election in districts that include Jasper County, said water quality is a growing priority within their party.

Sinclair said she’s not sure how the governor’s plan to take all new SAVE school-earmarked tax revenue above $20 million for water quality would work.

“I just don’t see how we do that to our local governments,” Sinclair said. “There is no magic bullet for water quality, and within each party, there isn’t full agreement about how it should be funded, or whether it can be done without raising taxes. But we need to look at a lot of possibilities.”

— Chuck Grassley, U.S. Senator (R-Iowa)

By Jason W. Brooks Newton Daily News In any statewide Iowa political race, it would be awfully strange if some sort of agricultural concerns didn’t come up sooner or later.

However, with so many wide-ranging, divisive topics coming up in the U.S. presidential and Congressional races, agriculture has largely taken a back seat in this election cycle. While some discussions around budgets, poverty and international trade touch indirectly on ag concerns, some of the contentious issues raised in 2008 and 2012 have faded into the gray of hundreds of other secondary priorities.

State-level races, on the other hand, have embraced familiar topics, such as water quality, clean energy and the battle between smaller, more progressively focused farms and the giants of traditional farming.

One of the reasons agriculture is taking a breather at the Congressional level is because the Farm Bill battle, was bitterly fought just a couple of years ago, and it will be fought again when the next Congress takes over.

The 2014 Farm Bill expires with the Fiscal Year 2018 cycle.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, who is seeking re-election to a seventh term in the U.S. Senate, recently told the Newton Daily News bringing up ag concerns could actually result in a political “pick-six” for ag proponents.

“Even though farmers are losing money, we’re hesitant to open up the Farm Bill, as we could actually end up with less crop insurance,” Grassley said. “But with a new Congress coming in, 2017 is when you’ll see some real talks on that. That’s when the fur is going to hit the fan.”

Some voters have voiced displeasure with presidential candidates’ voice, or lack thereof, on ag issues — and not all of those

U.S. Department of Agriculture USDA Iowa Farm Service Agency Executive Director John Whitaker recently announced approximately 154,000 Iowa farms that enrolled in safety-net programs established by the 2014 Farm Bill will receive financial assistance for the 2015 crop year. The programs, known as Agriculture Risk Coverage and Price Loss Coverage, are designed to protect against unexpected drops in crop prices or revenues due to market downturns.

“These safety-net programs provide help when price and revenues fall below normal, unlike the previous direct payments program that provided funds even in good years,” said SED Whitaker. “These payments will help provide reassurance to Iowa farm families, who are standing strong against low commodity prices compounded by unfavorable growing conditions. For example, all counties in Iowa have experienced a 32 percent drop in price below the benchmark price established by the ARC program for corn and a 27 percent drop in price for soybeans.”

“Payments by county can vary because average county yields will differ,” said SED Whitaker.

Statewide, 147,133 farms participated in ARC-County and 6,592 farms participated in PLC. More details on the price and yield information used to calculate the financing assistance from the safety-net programs is available on the FSA website atwww.fsa.usda.gov/ arc-plc and www.fsa.usda.gov/ia.

Price, who has lived at his Prairie City home for more than 10 years, said he rarely interacted with the residents, however, he said it’s scary to know that some-

thing like that can happen at any time.

“That’s about the most excitement that we’ve had around here in years,” Price said. “Something like that, and when it’s right next door, really kind of makes you wonder. It kind of keeps you on edge.”

The road between Eighth Street and North Street was closed off for much of the day Sunday while authori-

ties investigated the crime.

The Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation led the investigation with the Prairie City Police Department. The Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office, Iowa State Patrol, Colfax Police Department and Jasper County Emergency Management assisted in the investigation.

128 N. Second Ave. E. Having been renovated on five previous occasions, the building owned by Margaret Ellis is looking for a fresh look with a new coat of paint.

Built in 1879, it saw its first remodel in 1905 with four more following in 1911, 1954, 1964 and 1979.

“The many renovations have so changed the building that it is not considered a contributing structure to the Downtown Historic District,” former city administrator Bob Knabel said. “Since it is not a historically significant structure, the consideration of this project is less about being true to the history of the building and more about ensuring that the proposed color is in harmony with the unpainted brick on the upper level of the façade as well as the other buildings within the block.”

Ellis will receive a $2,500 grant to pressure wash the building and repaint the painted areas with an exterior acrylic flat finish. She plans to retain the red awnings currently on the structure. The total projected cost for the project is $6,800.

The Grant Review Board, who reviews and approves applications prior to council approval, was supportive of the project but would like to verify and approve the final color selection to ensure the new

Board member Marilyn Terlouw, a designer, offered assistance with the color selection at no cost to the project.

213 First Ave. W. Originally constructed to house Daisy Lunch in 1954, the building at 213 First Ave. W. is considered a contributing resource to the Newton Downtown Historic District.

Daisy Lunch remained the building until 1961 and an interior renovation took place in 1963 to house a series of photography studios.

“It retains a good level of historic integrity related to design, workmanship and materials. The Permastone facing and storefront glass set in metal framing are particularly important as these elements tie it to its mid-twentieth century construction period,” Knabel said.

“Our revenue stream is based on our enrollment, which as been decreasing,” Isaac said. “Our expenses have not kept up that decrease and our expenses have been going up as our revenue is going down. It is a tough balancing act.”

The largest portion of the decrease comes from a $600,000 special education deficit. That is more difficult to address, Isaac said, as the services need to be provided to the students whether funding is provided through state or other sources.

Finally, more than $130,000 was

Prendergast originally proposed silver colored frames for the windows and doors but the review board found that dark, oil rubbed bronze color frames would be preferable for the building. The windows and doors will also preserve the original door/ window opening sizes and improve the energy efficiency of the building.

205 First Ave. W. Prendergast was also receive a $4,626 grant for a $9,253 project to replace the existing double doors and window at the Fine Things Reclaimed building.

“The special education deficit was a big factor, the Gateway tuition was unexpected,” Isaac said. “Those three major factors caused us to go down.”

Board member Andrew Elbert asked if there was a remedy or solution to begin to correct the trend. He said he has never seen the fund that low and it is very concerning.

“Are we trying to address and resolve the issue, yes. That is what we are doing behind the scenes now, how can we stop the bleeding now, this year?

The building has had several improvements recently, including the removal of non-historic façade, installation of new windows and improvements to the brickwork.

Prendergast has taken steps to research the appearance of the building and provided an image from the 1960s to work from. The review board approved the update and welcomed the addition of a proposed new awning that honors the history of the building and provides a finished look on the northside of the building.

Vilsack Continued from Page 1A “I guarantee you the people in this room have paid more of a percentage of their income in the past 15 to 20 years in federal income taxes than Donald Trump,” Vilsack said. “I also guarantee you every one of us in this room is more charitable. I know Iowans, I know you give to your communities ... this guy does not.”

In part, he said Clinton’s presidency will assure the advances made since he took his current office in 2009 will not be reversed.

“The unemployment rate has been cut in half, the deficit has been cut in two-thirds. For the first time since 1970 we have seen the highest income growth for middle class families and now 20 million American have health insurance under the Affordable Care Act,” Vilsack said. “So I don’t want to go back to the days of tax cuts for the wealthy and deregulating major industries.

I want to move forward — and Hillary has a plan to move us forward.”

Among other things, Vilsack said Clinton will invest in infrastructure, create jobs through clean energy initiatives and raise the federal minimum wage.

“There’s a contrast and a choice here on a stronger economy,” he said. “We need one that supports middle class families.”

He noted several young women in attendance and used the opportunity to again bring up Pence’s Tuesday stop in Newton.

“If you work as hard as I work and you do the same job I do and you get the same results, don’t you think you ought to get the same amount of pay as I get?” Vilsack said. “Mr. Pence is coming to Newton tomorrow, right? Someone should ask him about his vote on equal pay for equal work, because he didn’t vote for that. For some reason he thought that wasn’t a good idea.”

The former governor also took time to convey what he called the great importance of state and local level races.

“I’m deeply concerned about the direction of this state. Dennis (Retired Sen. Dennis Black) and I served together in the state senate, and I think he too is troubled by the direction of our state government,” Vilsack said. “... I want to make sure we understand how important those state legislative races are in terms of providing a check on Gov. Branstad.”​ Among Clinton supporters in attendance was Jerry Jones, of Newton and secretary-treasurer of AFSCME Iowa Council 61. Jones said Vilsack’s visit was a break between knocking doors across Jasper County to help get the word out about Clinton and to urge early voting.

“Hillary is loyal, she remembers, she listens — she knows we’re stronger when we work together,” Jones said. “I’m not a big polls person. Numbers can change quickly — I think it’s going to happen.”

Forrest Rusk, a 91-year-old lifelong Democrat of Newton said he’s been supporting Clinton since Day One. “I’ve always voted as a Democrat,” Rusk said. “It’s the party that supports the people.”

A great weekend

Keeping me on my toes Jamee A. Pierson

E

very once in a while, you just have a really great weekend. Activities fall into place, your teams win and when Sunday night comes, you’re actually ready for Monday.

I have to say I had one of those weekends. It started out with a family trip to Chuck E. Cheese on Friday night. The weekend was almost derailed at the beginning when my husband had to go out on a service call, but he got back in time for us to head to one of my girls’ favorite places on earth.

The girls were extra excited to go because it was the first time my husband had come along with us. They showed him all of the games they like to play, how awesome the tater tots are and the amazing prizes they earned after skillfully collecting tickets.

It was once again requested to have

their next birthday parties at Chuck E. Cheese and we return for my birthday, which is next up in the family.

Saturday we had a relaxed morning with breakfast before heading to the Jasper County Conservation Fall Fest. The girls took turns throwing “cow pies,” watching older kids shoot bows and arrows and, their favorite part, getting a cat and ladybug painted on their face. The event couldn’t have been planned for a nicer day, and we enjoyed the outdoor setting and new activities.

On our way home, we dropped off my oldest daughter at a birthday party and went to my parents to finish watching the Iowa game. As nail-biting as it was, we pulled out the victory, which always makes the weekend and following week a little better.

After the party was over, we gathered the girls and headed to my in-laws to drop them off before going to the wedding of one of my husband’s co-workers.

It was nice to have a little date night and the food was pretty good, too.

The girls fell asleep on their way home, which hardly ever happens anymore, and we got a full nights sleep without any little ones sneaking in to cuddle. Sunday morning was full of cuddles, making our queen size bed feel very small.

The girls played and played, hardly fighting or bickering, most of the morning and even ate all of their lunch. We were lucky enough to find every piece of their soccer uniforms hours prior to the game starting, and I felt good leaving for a baby shower with my husband in charge of game prep that day.

When I got home we were ready to go play soccer, which can really be hit or miss depending on the week. This week, while we definitely didn’t play our best, my youngest daughter actually scored a goal. I think the planets must have aligned and lightening struck a rainbow

somewhere because she typically cries during the games and would run off the field after a brief period of play.

I have to say I was such a proud mom.

After the ball went into the net she immediately started screaming and ran over to me with her arms in the air, so excited I had tears in my eyes.

To make it even better, on the next play my oldest went down and scored a goal, her third of the season. I know a was a little tough on soccer in the past, and I’m still not sure of its future with our family, but Sunday was a good day on the field.

That afternoon my youngest and I had a little one-on-one time shopping while my oldest hung out with my parents. We then went home for dinner, a success again, and a bath before heading to bed.

The dishes were cleaned and laundry was folded and put away, all before 10 p.m., and we actually went to bed at a decent hour. A pretty great finish to our pretty great weekend.

Get outta my way, ya clown The other day, a local police department told people to call the cops only if they saw a clown where he didn’t belong.

This was in response to nationwide reports of “creepy clown sightings.”

Where doesn’t a clown belong?

At a wake? Well, not if the guy in the box is in a clown suit, too. Maybe they worked together.

And what about the birthday party clown who spends a long day pulling handkerchiefs out of his nose and wants to stop on the way home for a beer?

Not long ago, I went out for a beer and I ended up sitting next to a very tall transvestite with visible five o’clock shadow and an Adam’s apple the size of a pool ball. She gets to use the bathroom with me, but I’m supposed to call the cops on Mr. Giggles?

So far, the police haven’t shot a lot of clowns.

You’re safer hanging around a graveyard at midnight in a clown suit than you are if you’re a black teenager walking down the street with a cellphone in your hand.

Not that there are no risks attached to being a clown suit prankster.

A couple of nights ago, sitting in the newspaper office where I work, I head a scanner call about a clown walking around the parking lot of a suburban mall after closing time.

I don’t live in a suburb. I live in a city where something is always on fire and everybody hates everybody else.

“That’s it, clown boy,” I muttered to myself. “Stay out in the ‘burbs. We got people in my neighborhood who’d hit you in the mouth just to see what it feels like to punch a clown.”

The urban clown needs to watch nose color, too.

The traditional clown nose is red, but you don’t want to wear the wrong color nose in the wrong neighborhood. I recommend carrying a blue nose in your pocket, so you can switch from Blood clown to Crip clown without slowing your walk.

If you’re in clown gear and you are stopped by the cops, don’t pull anything out of your nose. Don’t make anything disappear. For God’s sake, don’t make anything appear. Don’t make any balloon animals. In dim light, a balloon animal looks just like an AK-47. You’ll get blown out of your big red shoes before you can figure out how to say, “Don’t shoot!” in pantomime.

The national psyche is a confusing thing. Here we are, slouching and squabbling toward the end of a historic national election, and everyone’s afraid of a creepy clown with orange hair. With any kind of luck, clown season will be over in a few weeks. I hope so. I’m starting to get scared.

THE FIRST

AMENDMENT

YOUR VIEW

Payton will cut Planned Parenthood funding Over the last year or so, it has come to light that Planned Parenthood has not only been engaged in destroying human life but has also been profiting from the sale of infant body parts. Despite the fact that this deplorable activity warrants nothing less than prosecution and incarceration, Planned Parenthood continues to benefit from taxpayer funding.

A common argument in favor of funding Planned Parenthood goes something like this: “But look how much good Planned

Parenthood does in other areas.”

That’s like saying, “Yes, I know Jeffrey Dahmer did some horrific things, but since he also supported the local PTA, he shouldn’t have to go to jail.”

Leaving aside for the moment the fact that Planned Parenthood’s claims about their “other services” are dishonest, the fact remains that their main business is killing human babies and selling their body parts. It is self-evident that this should not be rewarded and subsidized with taxpayer money. But of the three candidates for State Representative in House District 29, two of them have publicly called for Planned Parenthood’s taxpayer funding to continue.

Only one of them supports cutting it off entirely. That person

is Patrick Payton.

In fact, Patrick Payton is the only pro-life candidate in this race. If you value human life as I do, and as Patrick does — and I know that the vast majority of Democrats, Independents, and Republicans do — then I ask you, for the sake of the most innocent lives among us, to make the inalienable right to life the issue in this election. All other issues, including party affiliation and party loyalty, pale in comparison with the prospect of saving helpless, innocent, human lives.

Please join me in supporting Patrick Payton, the only pro-life candidate in the race for State Representative in Jasper County.

The Stumpf banking system

By Jim Hightower “Stumpf ” is a German adjective for someone who’s obtuse, slow on the uptake, imperceptive, or to put it bluntly, stupid.

Ironically, it also happens to be the surname of Wells Fargo’s CEO, who’s now mired in the most shameful banking scandal yet. For seven years or so, John Stumpf has presided over a venal bank policy, pressuring Wells Fargo’s retailing employees into systematically stealing from particularly vulnerable, low-income customers of the bank.

During this time, he padded his own fortune with more than $100 million in personal pay.

When this mass rip-off was recently exposed, Stumpf — the big

boss getting the big bucks to be in charge — pleaded ignorance.

In an act of what Senator Elizabeth Warren called “gutless leadership,” he publicly blamed the corrupt corporate culture on thousands of the bank’s low-level employees.

But the chief wasn’t the only stumpf at Wells Fargo. Where were its board members, who are empowered and duty-bound to set, monitor, and assure ethical corporate behavior from the top down?

For seven years, this 15-member board of governance sat idle, apparently incurious about their corporation’s flagrant, widespread thievery, even after a 2013 report by the LA Times exposed it.

Far from investigating and clamping down, the board kept shoving multimillion-dollar bonuses at Stumpf and other top executives.

Bear in mind that this is a powerhouse board, made up of top executives from other corporations, former government financial officials, and big time academics. And they are extremely well-paid to be diligent, getting up to $400,000 a year to keep Wells Fargo honest.

What’s at work here is the ethical rot that now consumes America’s entire corporate system — a stumpf system that steals from the many to further enrich the few, buying off the integrity and vigilance of those who run it.

Friend in long relationship signals she may want out

DEAR ABBY: I’m a 25-year-old lesbian from a suburban area outside the Twin Cities. It’s not easy finding other gay women in this area, unless I visit Minneapolis, which I don’t enjoy.

I always seem to fall for straight girls or girls who have always been straight but are bi-curious, which never ends well for me.

My current situation has me stumped. The girl I’m interested in is in a relationship with a man. They have been together for a long time and have kids together. I have kept my distance for the most part because I don’t want to be pushy or seem like a home-wrecker.

As we have grown closer over the past couple of months, she has told me she doesn’t want to be with him anymore.

She said she isn’t in love with him and she’s tired of pretending. Recently, she confided that she can’t reach sexual satisfaction unless she thinks about women and she isn’t sure what that means.

She made a move on me once. A few weeks ago she kissed me, but nothing has happened since. I’m not sure what to say or do — if anything at all. Help?

— NO HOME-WRECKER DEAR NO HOME-WRECKER: What you should say to this woman is that she’s sending you signals that she’s interested in starting a romantic relationship, and ask her if it’s true. If she says that it is, ask what she plans to do about her boyfriend. If she’s unsure, you will then have to decide how you feel about becoming part of a triangle, because it could get messy. Very messy.

Between us, you would be better off if you focused on finding someone who is available and clear about her orientation. And if it means forcing yourself to go to Minneapolis, then that’s what you should do.

DEAR ABBY: I have always made it a habit to keep my home neat and tidy. I’m not obsessive; we just make it a point to pick up after ourselves daily, instead of leaving everything a mess and then trying to tackle it all once every week or two. I suppose it also helps that I am child-free.

On more than one occasion, friends who visit my home have commented on how neat and clean I keep it. Some of them have asked if they could pay me to come and clean their homes. I

guess a small part of me should be flattered, but I’m also offended. I feel it’s the equivalent of inviting me to a party just to serve the drinks. I have no desire to become an indentured servant to my friends. Am I being too sensitive?

— NOT OBSESSIVE IN NEW YORK DEAR NOT OBSESSIVE: If you are not obsessive, then why are you obsessing over a compliment these friends were trying to pay you? I sincerely doubt they were serious, unless they began negotiating your weekly rate.

DEAR ABBY: My wife and I are in good health and have been married for more than 50 years. I would like to take our three children and their spouses on a Caribbean cruise. We all get along well, but my wife refuses to go and the kids won’t go without their mom. Any suggestions? — BEWILDERED HUSBAND IN BILLINGS, MONT. DEAR HUSBAND: I wish you had shared more information about why your wife is reluctant to take the cruise and your children are backing their mother up on this. However, since they are acting in lockstep, I suggest you come up with an alternative idea for a family outing, or take the cruise alone.

TO MY JEWISH READERS: Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, begins at sundown. During this 24hour period, observant Jewish people fast, engage in reflection and prayer, and formally repent for any sin that might have been committed during the previous Hebrew year. To all of you — may your fast be an easy one.

Road rage incident leads to child endangerment charges

By Kayla Langmaid Newton Daily News A Newton man is facing child endangerment charges after a road rage incident Friday afternoon led to injuries for a 7-yearold girl in a rollover crash.

Leslie J. Wade, 69, told officials he was side-swiped by a vehicle around 3:40 p.m., which prompted him to chase the vehicle throughout Newton.

Witnesses told officials they saw Wade driving recklessly, speeding and going through stop

signs. Wade later admitted to driving through someone’s yard while trying to chase down the vehicle.

Wade reportedly lost control of the vehicle on a gravel road, causWade ing the vehicle to flip multiple times before landing on the driver’s side in a cornfield near W. Fourth St. S., according to the Jasper County Sheriff ’s Office.

Wade and the 7-year-old sustained non-life threatening injuries from the accident.

The 7-year-old reportedly suffered a mark to her right cheek, a bump above her eye and scrapes on her hip. Wade suffered cuts to both of his wrists.

Wade was arrested and charged with child endangerment and reckless driving. He was released on $5,300 bond Friday.

Iowa company recalls cookie dough GARNER (AP) — An Iowa company is recalling the cookie dough it sold to Blue Bell Creameries and other food companies because it may be contaminated with listeria bacteria.

Dough-maker Aspen Hills notified customers about the recall on Sunday, but it wasn’t immediately clear whether any of this cookie dough had reached consumers because the Garner, Iowa, based company doesn’t sell directly to consumers. Aspen Hills did not say the companies or states where the dough was sold.

Aspen Hills’ cookie dough was implicated in last month’s Blue Bell recall because the Texas-based ice cream-maker said its tests confirmed the presence of listeria in the product.

Aspen Hills spokesman Jon Austin said the cookie dough was voluntarily recalled because the company found lapses in its food safety system — such as inadequate documentation and failure to wear proper uniforms — that could have allowed the product to become contaminated.

“Any one of these issues is a matter we would take seriously, but collectively they represent to us an unacceptable lapse in the

standards our customers — and we — expect,” Austin said.

The company discovered the problems after reviewing its practices after the recall announced last month.

Austin said no illnesses have been linked to the company’s products and none of the cookie dough it is recalling this week tested positive for listeria.

The recall includes 22,000 cases of cookie dough made between July 15 and September 30.

Austin said the dough was sold to about 27 food manufacturers, and those companies will determine whether additional products that used the cookie dough as an ingredient should be recalled.

One of those clients, Blue Bell Creameries, announced a recall Monday night of all of its products containing Aspen Hills cookie dough.

The Blue Bell recall involves half-gallons and pints of Blue Bell Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough and Blue Bell Cookie Two Step sold to retailers and three-gallon packages of Blue Bell Blue Monster, Blue Bell Chocolate Chip Cookie and Blue Bell Krazy Kookie Dough sold to food-service clients. They were produced

between Feb. 2 and Sept. 7 and distributed in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.

Aside from last week’s recall because of suspect cookie dough, Brenham, Texas-based Blue Bell halted sales, issued a voluntarily recall of all its products in April 2015 and shut down its three plants due to bacteria contamination that was linked to 10 listeria cases in four states, including three deaths in Kansas. The company resumed selling its products about four months later. Before resuming production, the company said it had implemented new cleaning and sanitizing procedures at its facilities, as well as new testing programs and new employee training.

The ice cream brand is beloved in Texas, where people impatiently awaited its return to store shelves after the recall.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that listeria causes roughly 1,600 illnesses and 260 deaths ever year in the United States.

Branstad stands

by Trump despite ‘offensive’ video comments DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa Gov. Terry Branstad is standing by Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump who’s battling to rescue his campaign after the release of video in which he’s heard bragging about how his fame allowed him to “do anything” to women.

“Our Elks members enjoy interacting with the children and are happy to invest in their education,” Zamora said.

In split, Ryan stumping for GOP but not for Trump CHESTER SPRINGS, Pa. (AP) — For Paul Ryan, October is now all about protecting the Republican majority of the House — and his own job as speaker.

The Wisconsin Republican can’t ignore Donald Trump, his party’s bull-ina-china-shop presidential candidate. Nor can he offend Trump’s millions of voters, whom many House GOP candidates need to survive next month’s elections. Yet amid the remarkable spectacle of the party’s White House nominee and its highest elected official practically at war, Ryan says he’s not going to lift a finger for Trump or even be seen with him.

Instead, Ryan will focus “his entire energy making sure that Hillary Clinton does not get a blank check” with a Democratic Congress if she’s elected president. He made that comment during a conference call with House GOP lawmakers Monday, according to someone on the call.

AP Photo House Speaker Paul Ryan speaks during the 1st Congressional District Republican Party of Wisconsin’s annual Fall Fest event held in Elkhorn, Wis. on Saturday.

A day before last Friday’s release of a 2005 video showing Trump making vulgar boasts about forcing himself on women, Ryan made two campaign stops in eastern Pennsylvania in which he never spoke the words “Donald Trump.” That dramatized how Ryan is trying to guide House candidates through rocky

political waters Trump has roiled with regularity.

“We see ourselves in the House as offering ideas and solutions, kind of adding a rudder and a keel to our party,” Ryan said standing alongside the local GOP congressman at J-Tech USA, all but suggesting that such substance and stability was lacking atop the tick-

et. The company services trucks for highway crews.

Ryan was scheduled to spend this week tending to political events in his home state. He then resumes a feverish coast-tocoast effort to defend GOP control of the House, a tour that was scheduled to cover at least 17 states and 42 cities and might grow.

favored to retain House control in November’s voting, with Democrats needing to gain 30 seats to take charge of the 435-member chamber.

But Democratic hopes have grown — and GOP nerves have been frazzled — after two weeks of politically seismic setbacks for Trump, capped by the Trump video.

In Monday’s conference call, jumpy House Republicans heard Oregon Rep. Greg Walden, who heads their campaign organization, say the political situation was deteriorating for the GOP, especially among women, according to two people on the call. Walden urged them to poll frequently and warned that the path to victory for candidates in tight races resembled landing a plane in the fog with a hurricane blowing.

On that same call, Ryan said he would not defend Trump or campaign with him and would focus on protecting the House GOP majority, two listen-

ers said. One said Ryan told Republicans to do what “you think is right personally, and what you need to do politically.”

Trump fired back Tuesday on Twitter.

In one tweet, Trump called Ryan a “very weak and ineffective leader” and accused him of “disloyalty.” In another, Trump complained, “It is hard to do well when Paul Ryan and others give zero support!”

The two men have clashed for months, with Ryan repeatedly criticizing Trump’s comments about Muslims and others and each belatedly endorsing the other’s election bid.

After the Trump tape was released, Ryan said he was “sickened” and withdrew his invitation for Trump to attend a Wisconsin political event, which would have been their first joint appearance of the campaign.

Ryan’s comments Monday upset some of his own colleagues — a potential danger sign for Ryan.

Caring for elderly parents and children at the same time SPONSORED BY

There are many challenging things in life and simultaneously raising your kids and providing senior-sitting and related care for your parents is one of the most demanding.

Throw in the fact that you also may be working full-time and you’re living a life that even the most Calgon in the world couldn’t ease and relieve.

If you’re at wit’s end, you’re not the only one as balancing these two responsibilities is far more common today then it was 20 or 30 years ago.

More women are working full-time and are having children later in life. People are living longer too and often that means that they need assistance.

Some seniors move into retirement communities, such as Park Centre, once they realize they can’t fully care for themselves any longer. Even if they don’t need much help from their adult children, such as shopping, assistance with cleaning and writing bills, they understand that such tasks take time and

that they’re adult kids are already tied up with other responsibilities.

Seniors can improve their quality of life at a retirement community, while removing the burden they knowingly or unknowingly are placing on others. It provides security and peace of mind for everyone involved, so it’s an excellent consideration that’s worthy of pursuing.

You have to accept that you aren’t Superman – you simply can’t save the day, every day. You have to ask for and accept some help.

With your kids, there are social workers and other staff members at school who can help you find assistance so you can balance raising your kids while caring for your parents. Your church, other social networks and local senior agencies also are good resources.

You also cannot neglect who’s looking back at you in the mirror. You may look tired, and that’s a key reason why you are well overdue for some “me” time.

Obama: US working with companies to send humans to Mars WA S H I N G T O N (AP) — President Barack Obama says the United States is partnering with commercial companies to build “new habitats” to try to send humans safely to Mars within two decades.

Obama set a goal in 2010 to send humans to Mars by the 2030s.

He says the next step is to “reach beyond the bounds of Earth’s orbit.”

Obama says the U.S. is collaborating on misAP Photo Solange Ferreira holds her son Jose Wesley Campos as family friend Sandra Souza, right, holds his nasogastric feeding tube during his 1-year birthday party at his home in Bonito, Pernambuco state, Brazil. Learning how to feed is the Jose’s latest struggle as medical problems mount for him and many other infants born with small heads to mothers infected with the Zika virus in Brazil.

Zika ‘syndrome’: Problems mount as babies turn 1 RECIFE, Brazil (AP) — Two weeks shy of his first birthday, doctors began feeding Jose Wesley Campos through a nose tube because swallowing problems had left him dangerously underweight.

Learning how to feed is the baby’s latest struggle as medical problems mount for him and many other infants born with small heads to mothers infected with the Zika virus in Brazil.

“It hurts me to see him like this. I didn’t want this for him,” said Jose’s mother, Solange Ferreira, breaking into tears as she cradled her son.

A year after a spike in the number of newborns with the defect known as microcephaly, doctors and researchers have seen many of the babies develop swallowing difficulties, epileptic seizures and vision and hearing problems.

While more study is needed, Zika-caused microcephaly appears to be causing more severe problems in these infants than in patients born with small heads because of the other infections known to cause microcephaly, such as German measles and herpes. The problems are so particular that doctors are now calling the condition congenital Zika syndrome.

“We are seeing a lot of seizures. And now they are having many problems eating, so a lot of these children start using feeding tubes,” said Dr. Vanessa Van der Linden, a pediatric neurologist in Recife who was one of the first doctors to suspect that Zika caused microcephaly.

Zika, mainly transmitted by mosquito, was not known to cause birth defects until a large outbreak swept through northeastern states in Latin America’s

largest nation, setting off alarm worldwide. Numerous studies confirmed the link.

Seven percent of the babies with microcephaly that Van der Linden and her team have treated were also born with arm and leg deformities that had not previously been linked to other causes of microcephaly, she said.

To complicate matters, there are babies whose heads were normal at birth but stopped growing proportionally months later. Other infants infected with the virus in the womb did not have microcephaly but developed different problems, such as a patient of Van der Linden’s who started having difficulties moving his left hand.

“We may not even know about the ones with slight problems out there,” Van der Linden said. “We are writing the history of this disease.”

HOW WE MADE THE GYRAFOAM

sions that will help scientists understand how long humans can live “far from Earth.”

He writes in an op-ed on CNN’s website that the ultimate goal is for humans eventually to stay on Mars “for an extended time.”

Obama is not elaborating on what it will cost or how the U.S. will pay for it. But he says it will require years of patience, testing and education.

Chicago parents relieved as teachers avert strike CHICAGO (AP) — Relieved parents dropped their children off at Chicago schools on Tuesday morning after the Chicago Teachers Union and the nation’s third-largest school district averted a strike with a late-night tentative contract agreement.

Chicago Teachers Union President Karen Lewis said at a news conference late Monday that after more than a year of negotiations, the two sides had hammered out an agreement that isn’t perfect but is good for students, teachers and the city. The deal still must be approved by the union’s House of Delegates and all roughly 28,000 members, a process that could take weeks.

“There will be classes in the morning,” she said. “It wasn’t easy, as you all know ... We’re very pleased we were able to come to this tentative agreement.”

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said the propos-

al ensures teachers are respected and “appropriately rewarded,” while strengthening CPS finances and reassuring parents and taxpayers that the two sides are able to work together.

There was no immediate information about how much the deal would cost or how the financially struggling district would pay for it.

“Students across Chicago will be in school this morning and on the path to a stronger and brighter future,” Emanuel said at an early Tuesday news conference at City Hall.

Michael Cleveland said he had been convinced that there would be a strike Tuesday. Dropping his 6and 8-year-old daughters off at Ronald E. McNair Elementary School on the city’s West Side, he said he was still angry with city officials — including Emanuel and Chicago Public Schools CEO Forrest Claypool.

US stock indexes move lower in early trading

By Alex Veiga The Associated Press U.S. stock indexes moved lower in early trading Tuesday, weighed down by a slide in materials and health care companies. Energy stocks also fell as the price of crude oil headed lower. The stock market was giving back some of its gain from the day before. Apple rose after rival Samsung discontinued its troubled Galaxy Note 7.

The Nasdaq composite index lost 40 points, or 0.8 percent, to 5,288.

BIG SLUMP: Illumina sank 24 percent after the genetics research company announced late Monday that its third-quarter revenue fell short of Wall Street’s expectations.

The stock shed $44.80 to $140.05.

ROUGH QUARTER: Alcoa slid 9.5 percent after it reported softer-than-expected results for the third quarter, its last one before Alcoa splits into two companies on Nov. 1. The stock lost $3 to $28.51.

FORGET THIS: Digital storage companies Seagate Technology and Western Digital were both down early Tuesday. Seagate fell $2.18, or 5.7 percent, to $35.79, while Western Digital slid $1.73, or 2.9 percent, to $57.53.

SMARTPHONE WIN: Apple was up 1.6 percent after rival Samsung announced it was discontinuing its Galaxy Note 7 phone permanently because of overheating handsets. The Galaxy Note 7 competed with Apple’s iPhone. Apple gained $1.90 to $117.99.

OVERSEAS MARKETS: In Europe, France’s CAC 40 fell 0.1 percent, while Germany’s DAX rose 0.1 percent. Britain’s FTSE 100

slipped 0.2 percent. Earlier in Asia, Samsung’s problems weighed on South Korea’s Kospi, which ended the session down 1.2 percent. Elsewhere in the region, Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 rose 1.0 percent, while Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 added 0.1 percent. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng dropped 1.4 percent.

Health conditions worsen as aid trickles into remote Haiti DAME MARIE, Haiti (AP) — In this most western tip of Haiti, 300 patients with festering wounds lay silently on beds at the main hospital in the seaside village of Dame Marie waiting for medicine a week after Hurricane Matthew hit the remote peninsula.

Among the injured was Beauvoir Luckner, a cobbler and farmer who walked 12 kilometers (7 miles) in three days after a tree fell on his house, crushing his leg and killing his mother. The leg might have to be amputated, but all doctors can do is clean his wounds because the hospital has run out of everything, including painkillers.

“There’s no water, no antibiotics,” Dr. Herby Jean told The Associated Press. “Everything is depleted ... We hear helicopters flying overhead, but we’re not getting anything.”

There was also no pow-

Nearly a week after Hurricane Matthew smashed into southwestern Haiti, some communities along the southern coast have yet to receive any assistance, leaving residents who have lost their homes and virtually all of their belongings struggling to find shelter and potable water.

er and frustration grew on Tuesday as food, medicine and fresh water kept arriving at the main city in Haiti’s southwest peninsula but was slow to reach increasingly desperate communities like Dame Marie.

Luckner lay on a mat-

tress with no sheets and a bandage around his left leg.

“It took a lot of misery to get here and now that I’m here, there’s still misery,” he said.

Cardinal cross country teams finish seventh at LHC meet

Rhoads runs 9th, earns LHC honors

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High sophomore Rachel Rhoads collected All-Little Hawkeye Conference honors for the second year in a row, finishing ninth in a season’s-best time at Monday’s 2016 LHC cross country meet at Indianola. Rhoads led the Cardinal girls to a seventh-place finish.

INDIANOLA — Rachel Rhoads ran in her second Little Hawkeye Conference cross country meet for Newton High’s Cardinals on Monday. She earned all-conference honors for the second straight season.

Rhoads, a sophomore, ran the varsity girls’ 5K course at Indianola’s Pickard Park in a season’s best time of 20 minutes, 37 seconds. The top 15 finishers in the varsity races receive All-LHC honors.

Rhoads was the only Newton runner — girls or boys — to finish in the top 15. The Cardinal boys were led by junior Jack Callaghan in 31st in 17:58.

Newton High’s girls and boys finished seventh as teams at the 2016 Little Hawkeye Conference meet.

Pella claimed the girls’ LHC team title with 51 points followed by IndiCallaghan anola, which hosted the conference meet, in second with 62 points. Defending champion Dallas Center-Grimes finished third with 82 points and Oskaloosa was fourth with 96.

Grinnell was fifth with 117 points and Norwalk was sixth with 136 points. Newton’s girls scored 147 points for seventh. Pella Christian did not field a complete team.

Little Hawkeye Conference newcomer Indianola won the boys’ championship with 34 points. Grinnell took second with 45 followed by DCG with 68, Pella with 88, Oskaloosa with 137 points and Pella Christian with 180 points for sixth. Newton was seventh with 185 points and Norwalk placed eighth with 243 points.

In the girls’ race, Indianola went 1-2 individually led by sophomore Jadyn Forbes, who ran the 5K course in 19:33. Her teammate Grace Berg, a junior, was the only other runner in the race to finish in less than 20 minutes, 19:50.

“When we arrived we began to brace ourselves for some windy races, but by the time they got to the start line, the wind was

gone and the girls took full advantage,” Newton girls’ head coach Rachelle Tipton said. “The team score does not reflect what the girls accomplished tonight.”

Tipton said Rhoads found that next gear during the middle of the race and held her ground well. Junior Tessa Keeton finished 27th in a season’s best time of 22:11 and sophomore Abbie Barr had a season’s-best time of 22:23 for 31st.

PCM’s Ellens finds redemption in HOIC championship

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Ryan Barr (7) passed for 266 yards, going 15-of-26 for Newton High’s junior varsity football team in Monday’s 19-14 loss to Prairie City-Monroe’s Mustangs in Monore.

DES MOINES — Prairie City-Monroe senior Chris Ellens still has the memory of last year’s Heart of Iowa Conference cross country meet fresh in his mind.

It was the only regular season meet last season in which Ellens didn’t earn a medal. He just didn’t have a good performance.

Ellens had a chance at re-

demption Thursday in the 2016 Heart of Iowa Conference Cross Country Championships. This time, Ellens delivered.

The Mustang senior got out to a fast start and ran away from his competition on his way to the HOIC boys varsity title. Ellens beat his previous best 5K time by 20 seconds, finishing the race in 16 minutes, 40.11 seconds.

PCM holds off Cardinal JV

By Jocelyn Sheets Newton Daily News

MONROE — Newton High’s junior varsity football team came up short again Monday. The Cardinals dropped a 19-14 decision to host Prairie City-Monroe’s Mustang junior varsity.

The Cardinals led 8-6 at halftime but faced a 19-8 deficit with 3:23 left in the game.

Newton drove down to score a touchdown on a 1-yard run by Logan Zibert with 12 seconds on the game clock.

Trailing by five points, Newton executed a successful

onside kick, recovering the football at the PCM 49-yard line with 10 seconds left. Ryan Barr completed a 20-yard pass to Zibert to start a last-ditch effort to win the game.

With four seconds remaining in the game, Barr found Jacob Murphy on a 27-yard pass play. Time ran out with the Cardinals two yards short of the end zone.

“Penalties or turnovers have been costly in every game we’ve play this season,” Newton assistant coach Tom Weeks said. “PCM capitalized on our errors and penalties tonight to go up two scores in

the third and fourth quarters.”

Newton got on the scoreboard first with a 12-yard TD pass from Barr to Murphy with 3:26 left in the first quarter. Zibert caught the 2-point conversion pass from Barr.

The Mustangs made it 8-6 with a touchdown drive midway through the second quarter. PCM added touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters to take a 19-8 lead.

Barr was 15-of-26 passing for 266 yards with two touchdown passes and two interceptions. Barr threw passes to JV | 4B

Ranked Raiders narrowly edged by North Polk, Gilbert at HOIC meet

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News DES MOINES — Collins-Maxwell/Baxter’s girls cross country team has toed the start line with some of the best teams in the state of Iowa this fall.

While the Class 2A No. 5 Raiders are not undefeated, they have proven to be a formiddable foe against anyone they face.

That was the case again Thursday when they took on two of the better programs in 3A at the annual Heart of Iowa Conference meet.

With its first five varsity runners claiming a spot on the all-conference team, the Raiders came within one point of 3A No. 2 Gilbert and trailed North Polk by only 10 in the final standings.

CMB still has not been beaten by a 2A school this season.

“In a conference with mostly 3A schools, for them to compete the way they did today, I am so proud of the efforts,” CMB coach Jerry Meinerts said. “I don’t care about the places. All seven of our varsity runners had PRs today.

I can’t complain about that. We couldn’t have changed a thing we did. We were right there.”

The top 14 runners earned all-HOIC honors Thursday at Saydel High School. CMB sophomore Brenna Thomson had the best area finish in third, while Thomson’s teammates collected four more all-conference spots.

Thomson led the Raiders to a third-place finish. North Polk, who is a “team to watch” in the 3A rankings, won the meet with five runners in the first 13 positions. The Comets scored 36 points, while fifthranked Gilbert (45) edged CMB (46) by a single point.

The Tigers were missing No. 3 runner Emily Branson.

Thomson’s third-place finish was clocked at 20 minutes, 27.42 seconds. Senior Heather Jessen was eighth in 21:05.55, junior Ashlee Johnson finished ninth in 21:08.10 and sophomore Lauren Ratliff was 12th in 21:25.44.

“The team is working hard to push each other each and every race,” Thomson said. “The goal was to just get as close to Gilbert and North Polk as I could. I think I accomplished my goal.”

Sophomore Shasta Moody grabbed the final all-conference spot as the final Raider scoring runner. Moody finished 14th with a time of 21:29.46.

“I was a little worried that our girls got out a little fast, but they really ran hard throughout the whole race, and had some great finishes as well,” Meinerts said. “This was a really good meet for us, with some really good competition and was exactly what we needed to see before heading into our regional cross country meet.”

Led by sophomore Paytan Schut, Prairie City-Monroe finished fourth as a team with 123 points. Roland-Story rounded out the top five with 161 points, while Nevada (164), Greene County (170), South Hamilton (232) and host Saydel (255) completed the field.

Gilbert’s Carly Rahn, ranked 14th in 3A won the girls varsity 5K race in 19:58.61. North Polk’s Amelia Lesher was 15 seconds in front of Thomson in second with a time of 20:12.80.

Schut finished one position off an all-conference honor in 15th. She was about eight seconds back of CMB’s Moody as she crossed the finish line in 21:37.15.

“I thought the race went really good. I felt like I could breathe a lot better today,” Schut said.

PCM coach Eric Karr said Schut’s biggest obstacle since

Troy Hyde/Daily News Collins-Maxwell/Baxter sophomore Brenna Thomson (34) runs in third place, well ahead of the next closest competition during the Heart of Iowa Conference high school girls 5K race at Saydel on Monday. Thomson’s third-place finish helped the Class 2A Raiders to third in the team standings.

the beginning of last year has been confidence. His top runner now is oozing with it.

“Paytan has always had this in her. She just hasn’t always been confident that she can do it,” Karr said. “The biggest enemy sometimes is between the ears. Paytan has built a mental character in her that has been positive.”

Coming in after Schut was sophomore Megan Townley in 23rd and sophomore Kirstin Ives in 24th. Townley crossed the finish line in 22:11.34, while Ives hit the line in 22:16.34. Juniors Baylee Smith and Rachel Stafford were the final two varsity scorers in 34th and 44th, respectively.

Freshman Klaire Jungling and junior Ellie Steenhoek were the final two varsity runners. Jungling returned to the lineup after battling through an injury and placed 47th.

Steenhoek finished 49th.

“Megan Townley is running well. She is showing what she can do,” Karr said. “(Klaire Jungling) is not quite as in shape as she wants to be, but this is her first race in a month.

I didn’t want her to run hard today. We are working her back slowly.”

The Mustangs will be forced to finish the season without one of their top runners. Senior Jayci Vos suffered an injury during the powder puff football game two weeks ago.

Karr said it has been a big blow to the team in many ways.

“That’s a huge loss because she is an incredible person and a leader,” Karr said. “Not having her at practice is big for us because she lets every other runner know, no matter what the workout is, that we are going to work hard today.

“She is definitely not replaceable, but luckily, we have the numbers this year. I think it’s still a possibility to get to state.”

While PCM has been hit hard by injuries this season, CMB has mostly avoided them.

Thomson missed a meet due to a minor injury, but the Raiders appear to be primed for another trip to the state meet.

“We want to keep everyone healthy, but we don’t have any other meets until districts next week,” Meinerts said. “We can fine tune some things and get a few speed workouts in. We’ll focus on recovery, pacing and race strategies.

“We want to think of our goal every day and do something that day to achieve that goal. I don’t want them going 24 hours not thinking about making it to state.”

As the highest ranked team in their state qualifying site, the fifth-ranked Raiders will

BOSTON (AP) — The ball settled into the right fielder’s glove, the Cleveland Indians poured onto the diamond and the Fenway fans fell silent.

Then, slowly from the crowd rose a chant of “Pa-pi!”

Cleveland swept the Red Sox out of the postseason and sent David Ortiz into retirement on Monday night with a 4-3 victory that completed a three-game AL Division Series sweep. But even as the Indians frolicked on the field in their celebratory hats and T-shirts, Boston fans weren’t ready to let their beloved Big Papi go.

“I’m glad he didn’t get a hit to beat us,” manager Terry Francona said after leading the Indians to just the second postseason sweep in franchise history. “I thought it was an honor to be on the field, competing against him in his last game, because he’s truly one of the best. You could tell the way people were hanging around yelling his name and everything. He deserves every bit of that.”

Coco Crisp hit a tworun homer , closer Cody Allen got four outs and the Indians advanced the AL Championship Series for the first time since 2007. That year, they took a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series against Boston before losing three in a row.

Cleveland also blew a 2-0 lead against Boston in the best-of-five round in 1999.

But this year there would be no fold.

Cleveland went 4-3 this year against the wild-card Blue Jays, who swept AL West champion Texas to reach the ALCS for the second straight year.

Tigerhawks take down Sigourney on Senior Night

By Troy Hyde Newton Daily News COLFAX — The Colfax-Mingo volleyball team honored its three seniors before Monday’s South Iowa Cedar League match with Sigourney.

Then the Tigerhawks won their 15th match of the season with a four-set win.

HOIC Continued from Page 1B “I remembered it,” Ellens said of last year’s HOIC meet. “I remember not getting a medal. There were some tough teams and good runners here today. I just wanted to go out and show them I can compete with them. Last year, I wasn’t close to them so this was much better.”

Ellens is the first PCM cross country runner to win a conference title since Jake Potter won back-to-back titles in 2009 and 2010. Ellens was more than 9 seconds ahead of Nevada’s Malachi Hornbuckle, who came into the meet ranked 13th in Class 3A. “It feels good. I can’t really describe it any other way,” said Ellens, who is ranked 11th in 2A. “This has been three years in the making. if you work hard, you can do anything.”

Ellens and Hornbuckle went 1-2 in the race followed by Gilbert’s Jason Taylor, who is ranked 24th in 3A. Eight runners from Gilbert earned a spot on the HOIC all-conference team, which included the top 14 finishers.

Collins-Maxwell/Baxter sophomore Ian Thomson earned second-team honors with a 14th-place finish.

The 3A No. 5 Tigers won the team title with 31 points, besting runner-up and 2A No. 4 South Hamilton by 58 points.

Nevada (97), North Polk (114) and Roland-Story (114) rounded out the top five. CMB was sixth with 146 followed by Saydel (157) and PCM (196).

“I was very pleased with the boys. We had two guys in the 17s, another one in the 18s and two others under 20,” CMB coach Jerry Meinerts said. “This was probably our best meet as far as average times go. We kind of put it all together tonight. That was good to see.”

Thomson finished a little more than a second ahead of South Hamilton’s Logan Peters, who is ranked 28th in 2A. Unranked Thomson crossed the finish line in 17:36.11, while Peters finished in 17:37:51.

“I think I ran well. I maybe got out a little too slow. I had to work harder to get back in it,” Thomson said. “It’s hard to get going because it was narrow and there were tons of turns. It’s tough to keep a consistent speed.”

The meet took place on the campus of Saydel High School. The races started on the football field and followed a long narrow paths for much of the race. The race ends down the front stretch of the track.

“He didn’t get out fast enough. He got boxed in,” Meinerts said. “It’s not a great place to start a race and then its narrow the whole way. We won’t have to worry about that at Pella or at state. To see him work his way back up shows what kind of runner he is. He worked his tail off to get back into the all-conference mix.”

CMB freshman Logan Berg was just off all-conference pace in 16th despite not being full strength after a recent illness.

He beat North Polk’s Will McCormick in an intense battle to the finish line. Berg crossed the line in 17:45.06.

Junior Carter Fricke was the next Raider to finish. He wound up 32nd in 18:47.48.

Junior Max Van Maanen was 56th with a time of 19:31.22 and the final counting runner was junior Noah Rhoades. Rhoades finished 59th in 19:39.77. Sophomore Josh Bruntz and freshman Carter Davis were the two varsity non-scoring runners in 67th and 81st, respectively.

“I’m proud of the way our guys ran tonight,” Meinerts said. “We have a few guys who are still working their way back after injuries. (Van Maanen) is getting back into it, and (Fricke) ran his best time of the year but still has a cast on.”

PCM coach Eric Karr paced out his top runner at 16:15 in practice. He wanted Ellens to run at that pace for the first two miles and see what happened in the final stretch.

“We wanted him to just to stick with the plan and follow the process,” Karr said. “I wanted him to follow that pace for

the first two miles and then at that point it becomes about guts. You are not going to take his guts away from him “We thought if he could get a little under 17 minutes that he would be in the mix to win it. To come in at 16:40 shows that he just refuses to lose. He’s only lost to one runner in 2A this year.”

After Ellens for PCM was freshman Jason Stafford in 58th. Stafford hit the finish line in 19:37.52.

Junior Caleb Peter finished 83rd, junior Brady North was a few seconds back in 84th and the final scoring runner was senior Mark Bruxvoort in 88th. Freshman Jacob Cox (88th) and Brady McClellan (120th) were the two non-scoring varsity runners.

“I am really happy with both teams. It’s been an awesome season,” Karr said.

For Ellens, it’s been a long road to get a

conference championship, and not an easy one. The Mustang senior though is trying to do what he can to leave an important mark on a program he wants to see continue to improve over the coming years.

“It’s important to help set a standard and show the younger runners what they can do and what they can be,” Ellens said.

“We have a really young team. They can get there though. We just have to keep working hard.”

The Mustangs return to the same course for the annual Saydel Invitational at 4 p.m. Thursday.

CMB doesn’t run again until the 2A state qualifier at 3 p.m. on Oct. 20 in Pella. PCM is at that meet, too.

Giants stay alive, Nats put Dodgers on the brink SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — They piled on Joe Panik at home plate in celebration, and just as has been the case so many times before with everything on the line in October, San Francisco’s season was extended another day.

Panik doubled off the wall in right-center field to drive in Brandon Crawford with the winning run in the 13th inning, and the Giants staved off elimination by outlasting the Chicago Cubs 6-5 on Monday night in Game 3 of their NL Division Series.

San Francisco won its 10th straight game when facing postseason elimination.

Panik came through on the 57th pitch from Mike Montgomery, who was working his fifth inning of relief.

The wild-card Giants forced Tuesday night’s Game 4 back at their raucous, sold-out ballpark, postponing a potential Cubs clinch party.

Chicago leads the best-of-five playoff 2-1 and will send John Lackey to the mound opposite lefty Matt Moore.

Panik’s big hit ended a 5-hour, 4-minute game that was only 29 minutes shy of the total time taken to play the first two series games combined last week at Wrigley Field.

Rookie left-hander Ty Blach was the winner, escaping a 13th-inning jam when pinch-hitter David Ross bounced into a double play.

Kris Bryant hit a tying, two-run homer off closer Sergio Romo in the ninth inning after San Francisco rallied for three runs to take the lead in the bottom of the eighth against Aroldis Chapman.

Nationals 8, Dodgers 3 LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jayson Werth always wanted to hit a home run out of Dodger Stadium when he played two seasons in the venerable ballpark.

His latest attempt came close with a 450foot blast into the upper reaches of the left-field pavilion.

Werth’s homer helped break open a one-run game in the ninth inning, moving the Washington Nationals within one victory of taking a postseason series for the first time with an 8-3 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday and a 2-1 lead in their best-of-five NL playoff.

Heck, he even tied Babe Ruth with his 15th career postseason homer, good for 11th alltime.

Four relievers combined for 4 2/3 shutout innings, putting the Nationals in position to wrap up the NL Division Series on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium.

Playing 23 hours after the Nationals tied the series at home in a rain-postponed Game 2, the Dodgers again struggled against left-handed pitching, a problem throughout the season when they had a major league-worst .213 average against lefties.

Cardinals: Newton boys win middle school division title, girls finish seventh Continued from Page 1B “I’m excited for Rachel to be a two-time all-conference runner. Tessa was two seconds from her personal best, and Abbie dropped a minute off her time from the last meet,” Tipton said.

Freshman Abby Altman and sophomore Caelyn Briley finished 37th and 43rd and were the final two scoring runners for Newton in the girls’ varsity race. Altman recorded a personal-best time of 22:39 and Briley, who ran her first varsity race since the start of the season, posted a season’s-best 23:31.

Senior Ellie Horn finished 47th in 24:22 and freshman Jenna Smith had a personal-best time of 25:10 for 49th.

Grinnell junior Trenton O’Halloran was the boys’ individual champion, running the 5K race in 16:29. Defending champion Thomas Clower, a junior from Grinnell, and Indianola junior Quentin Linnan each recorded a fin-

ish-time of 16:40 for second and third, respectively.

Newton’s No. 2 runner in the LHC boys’ varsity race was senior Noah Sander placing 33rd in 18:12. Sophomore Adam Hunter finished in 36th at 18:18 followed by junior Brad Portner in 41st in 19:05 and junior Tyler Dafflitto in 44th in 19:11.

The other two Cardinal boys were freshman Luke Zaabel and sophomore Matt Moran. Zaabel placed 45th in 19:16 and Moran was 52nd in 20:13.

In the junior varsity races, Newton’s boys were sixth with 179 points as DCG won with 17 points, and the Newton girls were seventh with 195 points as Pella won with 27 points.

“I’m very proud of how our junior varsity runners finished their season,” Newton boys’ head coach Steve Weeks said. “We look forward to continue training for the upcoming district meet at Cedar Rapids Kennedy next week.”

Junior Dylan Main led the NHS boys’ junior varsity with a 22nd-place time of 19:07.

Tipton said the goal for every runner for the Cardinal girls’ junior varsity was to run the race in less than 30 minutes, and they did it. There were personal-best performances by freshman Andrea Brown, junior Original Tesfay, sophomore Rachelle Romo, freshman Maddie Walker and junior Maddie Bleeker.

Senior Michaella Cope ran a season’s-best in her final race, finishing 42nd in 26:07.

Brown was Newton’s top runner, taking 33rd in 25:16. Senior Jordyn Soule ran her final race in 25:59 for 50th.

freshman, 28:21; 66. Romo, 28:39; 70. Walker, 29:04; 73.

Bleeker, 29:33.

“We said goodbye to all of our seniors. Ellie, Jordyn and Michaella are the first athletes I coached all four years, and we were lucky to pick up Katherine Thorpe last year.

Katherine was unable to finish her season, but still brings a positive and fun attitude to practices and meets,” Tipton said.

The Cardinal varsity teams compete in a Class 4A state qualifying meet at 4:30 p.m. on Oct. 20 at Cedar Rapids’ Noel Ridge Park.

Newton’s boys won the LHC middle school division title with 52 points led by Anthony Moran, an eighth-grader. Moran finished second in 11:11. The Newton middle school girls were seventh with 142 points led by eighth-grader Jade Miller in ninth in 13:06.

Tampa Bay beats Carolina with field goal CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Roberto Aguayo’s shaky rookie season got a big lift Monday night.

The rookie made up for missing two earlier field goals by converting a 38-yard field goal as time expired to lift the Tampa Bay Buccaneers over the Carolina Panthers 17-14 on Monday night.

Jameis Winston was 18 of 30 for 219 yards and threw a TD pass to Mike Evans. Jacquizz Rodgers ran for 101 yards on 30 carries.

Carolina was without quarterback Cam Newton because of a concussion.

NASCAR Photo Jimmie Johnson, driver of the N0. 48 Lowe’s Chevrolet, celebrates in victory lane after winning Sunday’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Bank of America 500 at Charlotte Motor Speedway on in Charlotte, N.C.

Topsy-turvy day at Charlotte tightens NASCAR playoffs

CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — It should have been catastrophic nearly any way Joey Logano looked at his situation. His wrecked race car was in the garage during the opening race of the second round of the playoffs, his crew frantically trying to get him back on track.

At the moment, Logano’s only saving grace was that Kevin Harvick had his own disabled vehicle and was stuck watching Sunday’s race at Charlotte Motor Speedway roll on without them.

Then Austin Dillon wrecked, Chase Elliott, too.

Denny Hamlin lost an engine and Martin Truex Jr. had a pit road miscue.

In all, five drivers finished 30th or worse Sunday, meaning the field remained bunched enough that everyone has an equal shot to recover.

There are two more races, at Kansas and Talladega, before this field of 12 is whittled to eight, and only eight points separate Hamlin, in the cutoff position, from Harvick, who is last in the standings. Logano, who got back on track to finish 36th, is two points ahead of Harvick and only six behind Hamlin.

“I feel better about it,” Logano said of the stand-

ings. “My team did a good job fighting to get back out there and I think we gained two points by doing that, and that could be the difference when it’s all said and done.”

No one was immune Sunday, not Chevrolet, Ford or Toyota. The longshots Dillon and Elliott were wrecked, the favorites Harvick and Logano fallen by broken parts or tire issues.

The big winner? Why, Jimmie Johnson, who suddenly has a record-tying seventh championship in reach.

Hendrick Motorsports has been underwhelming this year, Johnson stuck in a 24-race losing streak.

This Chase so far had been a Truex and Harvick show, Johnson just the driver of a car that seemed to have some speed but was no ultimate match with the others.

His win Sunday showed otherwise, and he stamped his name into the third round of the playoffs.

Johnson had failed to advance to the round of eight each of the last two years, but he’s got his slot now, and that’s the first step in winning that elusive seventh title.

He sounded hungry after the race, his eighth win at Charlotte and 78th of his

career.

“We can’t sit back and celebrate too much,” Johnson said. “We’ve got to buckle down and get to work and keep advancing our race cars.”

Doubleheader: The race was originally scheduled to run Saturday night, but Hurricane Matthew washed out almost the entire weekend.

So all racing was pushed to Sunday, which turned into an 800-mile doubleheader with the Xfinity Series.

Logano went on to win the Xfinity Series race, which was the eliminating event in the inaugural Chase for that series. Ty Dillon was knocked out by Bubba Wallace by one point, and Brennan Poole, Ryan Sieg and Brandon Jones were also eliminated.

The second round of the Chase is a reprieve for Erik Jones, the pre-playoff favorite who fell into a deep hole in the opening race and is now back to even.

Kenseth to Kansas: Matt Kenseth left Charlotte on solid footing for the first time in the elimination system via a second-place finish to Johnson.

The stop in Charlotte had been his downfall the last two years. He tackled Brad Keselowski in the garage following a disappointing

finish in 2014, and was second-to-last a year ago.

So to leave in decent shape, with the pressure not nearly as high this weekend at Kansas, Kenseth felt OK. “Honestly, last two years in a row, pretty much Charlotte has kind of taken us out of the Chase - mostly my doing,” he said.

Hendrick Returns: This had been a miserable season for Hendrick Motorsports, by its own standards. Only two of its four drivers made the Chase this year and Dale Earnhardt Jr. is sidelined with a concussion.

Johnson has the only wins for the organization, but Elliott had been sniffing victory lane all season.

On Sunday, the two combined to lead 258 of the 334 laps, and Johnson and Elliott ran 1-2 for a huge chunk of the race.

Elliott was involved in an accident with 75 laps remaining and could not hide his disappointment.

“We had such a good car,” he said. “I’m devastated that we didn’t get the result that my guys deserve.”

Despite Elliott’s finish, it was a good organizational day for Hendrick: Kasey Kahne finished third and Alex Bowman showed early speed before a tire issue caused him to wreck.

Life is a balancing act under the Libran persuasion and, as it goes with balancing acts, much depends on core strength.

Any task or relationship you take on will depend on the equivalent of a strong posture, pulled up from the belly made tight through sheer will and determination. Grace is accomplished through managing the awkwardness.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 11). As for the healing you’ve worked for, you’ll now stop the efforts and relax into a big improvement. You’ll get the other pieces to the puzzle over the next four weeks; all will pop into place to form a pretty picture. Your personal life

features love and adventure in 2017. August brings professional advancement. Pisces and Leo adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 9, 40, 22, 29 and 33.

ARIES (March 21-April 19).

As for the one you’ve put so much thought into lately: This person makes you happy, but also makes you feel vulnerable. Old fears are surfacing through this relationship.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20).

What can you do that you haven’t before? The events of the day will seem to rhyme, as though everything is echoing parts of something else.

HIRING LEGAL CLERK/ADMIN. ASSIST.-NEWTON LAW FIRM ESTABLISHED LAW FIRM SEEKS TO HIRE STAFF with somewhat flexible hours (no evenings or weekends).

E.O.E. & Drug Testing

There’s a beauty and a comfort in this, also an annoyance.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21).

Time and action will seem to play out in a very analog fashion. Unlike what occurs when you send a text or an email, you’ll be able to finish an action, change your mind, take it back and redo it before it matters.

CANCER (June 22-July 22).

The feeling of the day is one of unlimited potential. The idea that your best work is still out there will keep you reaching, trying, learning and committing yourself over and over to the promise.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The day’s work will thrust you into unusual social circumstances.

Applications are available at:

Maytag Dairy Farms 2282 E. 8th St. N., Newton 641-792-1133

641-792-7440

You’ll be sorting through the frivolous and the earnest today, finding value in both and enjoying the task of handling these sorts of things.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22).

Over time you could grow to resent those who seem to only add to the rather mundane aspects of the day, even as you cherish those who grace your existence with a spark of the unexpected.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). No matter what pessimism may abound in some around you today, your enthusiasm will be difficult to kill, because it is invisible and contagious and moves fast. Stay buoyant.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You like to make people

laugh, and you’re good at it.

The star of your day will be an Ed McMahon-esque sidekick -- someone who supports you, sets you up and gets a good deal of pleasure from your wit, too.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The bigger victories will get a party or some kind of epic advertisement; it will be easy to lose yourself in their pronouncement. All the more reason to raise a toast to small victories such as the one this evening.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You need the love and affection, but somehow it doesn’t seem right to you if you have to ask for it. The problem is remedied by giving out the sort of thing that you want them to

give to you. Don’t worry; in time, they’ll learn.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Just because it’s the best answer doesn’t make it right.

You’ll be inspired to ask more, go deeper and experiment.

This could bother the type of person who likes to leave wellenough alone, but don’t let that dissuade you.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20).

There’s something you used to try and hide or disguise.

You’re starting to realize that this circumstance or trait that you once deemed unacceptable may very well be the best opportunity you have to celebrate who you are.
