It’s good to be king Beloved student wins homecoming crown

By Mike Mendenhall Daily News Staff Writer MONROE — Prairie City-Monroe High School senior Joe Cunningham stood patiently waiting in the southeast corner of the school’s gymnasium as 2014 homecoming court was announced Oct. 3.

The 17-year-old has stood with the royalty one year before when

he was selected as the 2013 PCM junior class attendant. High school English teacher Sam Pohl began to tell an anecdote of an unnamed student – a tradition of the PCM homecoming court announcements.

It was Cunningham.

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer Taylor Even said her mom made her compete — a decision that clearly paid off as she was crowned the 2015 Miss Iowa USA Pageant winner Sunday in front of hundreds of audience members and thousands of web viewers.

The 21-year-old from Jesup was still in disbelief that she won the coveted crown and sash and couldn’t stop talking about that

moment three years ago when her mom forced her into the competition.

“I’m really glad she did. I didn’t want to do it, and she was like, ‘No, you’re going to do it,’” Even said. “I was a shy, quiet person and now, look where I’m at. I’m Miss Iowa USA and its such an honor to be here and I’m glad she pushed me.”

For the next year, Even will make a number of public appearances and will represent Iowa in the Miss USA Pageant, which is

will be televised on NBC. The competition takes months of preparation and it all comes down to two days of judging in Newton. More than 70 women competed in both the Miss Iowa USA and Miss Teen Iowa USA pageants.

Police increase patrol Newton woman taken by helicopter after crash at Maytag Park

By Mike Mendenhall

By Jamee A. Pierson Daily News Staff Writer Following numerous complaints and an increase of activity at Maytag Park, the Newton Police Department has increased its patrol through the area.

“There have been a couple of fights and we arrested someone recently that had alcohol and marijuana. I do know that this past summer (Maytag Park) had vandalism,” Newton Police Chief Jeff Hoebelheinrich said.

In response, Hoebelheinrich has asked officers to patrol the park more and to make sure they are seen by those in the park.

“I think that you always have teenagers and young adults that will mess around on the playground equipment. All we ask is that

they remember it is for the younger children.

We won’t tell them they can’t be on it or anything but they need to be respectful,” Hoebelheinrich said.

Nathan Unsworth, Newton administrative park superintendent said there has been an increase of disrespectful behavior at the park.

“Maytag Park, just like any park, is a place that can have a lot of stuff going on. Lately, we have been seeing more kids hanging out in the park again at night, right after school,” Unsworth said. “When you get a group of kids together they start making poor choices sometimes.

Jamee A. Pierson/Daily News After two months of work, Mustang Lanes in Monroe is open for business. Joe Phillippson reopened the bowling alley two weeks ago after a six and a half year retirement.

Philippson returns to reopened Mustang Lanes

By Jamee A. Pierson Daily News Staff Writer

A familiar face is back at Mustang Lanes in Monroe. After a six and a half year retirement, Joe Phillippson took over as owner again at the bowling alley he ran for almost 30 years.

“I’d always wanted to be an independent business man and bowling was one of the things I was interested in. The opportunity came along when I was much younger and I was working a factory job at the time. I bought this and a year after I bought this, I bought one in Colfax,” Phillippson said.

Phillippson first bought the bowling alley in 1978 and took possession again Aug. 5 of this year. With a lot of work ahead of him, he was not sure what he was going to do with the building.

“I didn’t know when I first got it whether I was going to open it as a bowling center again,” Phillippson said.

“I’ve spent most of the last two months getting back into what I consider presentable condition.”

There were several large projects Phillippson had to take on to get it back to that condition.

“First thing we had to do with fix the roof, it was leaking badly.

Once we got that project under control then we could start the clean up process because there was a lot of water damage. We had to completely resurface the bowling lanes, that was another big project,” Phillippson said.

Because of the damage to the roof, a large amount of ceiling tiles had to be replaced as well as general clean up of the whole facility.

Phillippson opened the doors to league play starting Sept.

15. The lanes have three adult bowling leagues and are looking to add a fourth. The men’s league meets Monday nights, a mixed league on Tuesday nights and the women’s league meets Thursday nights.

“We’re still looking for more women for Thursday night. We have five teams, we need to get at least one more,” Phillippson said.

He is also looking to start another mixed league on Sunday.

The youth league, which will start in the beginning of November, spans ages 6 to 17, as long as the child can efficiently throw the ball down the lane.

Oct. 4 was his first night open to the public; starting Nov. 7, every Friday will feature cosmic bowling, with the lights off and lanes and bowling balls glowing.

Phillippson said the bowling alley is still available for reservation for birthday parties and other events.

The snack bar is open with chips, drinks and a simplified selection of offerings. The bar is also still available serving beer and sometimes wine.

When deciding on what to do with the building when it was returned to him earlier this year, pride is a big reason why Phillippson decided to return the lanes to the bowling alley, he said. Proud is now what he feels about his new Mustang Lanes.

Global finance leaders pledge bold efforts WA S H I N G T O N (AP) — World financial leaders on Saturday promised “bold and ambitious” action to boost a global recovery that has shown recent disturbing signs of weakness.

That pledge from the International Monetary Fund’s policy-setting committee comes after a week of stomach-churning swings in the financial markets triggered by growing fears that parts of Europe could be in danger of slipping into another recession.

The 188-nation IMF called increasing economic growth an “utmost priority” and pledged to make the necessary structural changes that would stimulate greater growth.

However, finance leaders have made similar promises in the past, only to

fall short when trying to follow through.

The commitments came in a closing statement from the IMF’s steering committee at the fall meeting of the IMF and World Bank.

Officials also endorsed the IMF’s efforts to support three West African countries battling the Ebola crisis.

Managing Director Christine Lagarde said at a news conference that the IMF has made $130 million available to Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, and that the IMF and other international agencies stood ready to do more.

“If more is needed, it will be there,” Lagarde said.

In addition to the $130 million in interestfree loans being provided

by the IMF, the World Bank is providing $400 million for the Ebola efforts.

In its closing statement, the World Bank policy committee said that “swift and coordinated action and financial support are critical to contain” the Ebola crisis.

World Bank President Jim Yong Kim said that a Thursday meeting sponsored by the bank to highlight the funding needs was useful, but he stressed that the situation remained critical. “We call on all countries that are watching. If you have any sense that you want to help with this epidemic, do it now,” Kim told reporters at a closing news conference.

International relief agencies stressed that time was critical.

“The speed and amount of governments’ pledges will make the difference between Ebola containment or pandemic,” said Nicolas Mombrial, an official with Oxfam.

The IMF and World Bank meetings were preceded by talks among finance ministers and central bank presidents of the Group of 20 nations, which comprise 85 percent of the global economy. Those discussions focused on the recent growth slowdown and troubling signs that some countries in Europe could be close to another recession.

U.S. stocks ended their worst week since May 2012, and the market turbulence served as a backdrop for the finance meetings.

Supervisors to vote on pet costume contest

By Ty Rushing Daily News Senior Staff Writer At Tuesday’s meeting, the Jasper County Board of Supervisors will hear two requests from community members for events at the courthouse and vote on approval of Sheriff John Halferty’s quarterly report.

Sharon Wallway, owner of Pet Kingdom in Newton, is coming to the board to ask for permission to hold a pet costume contest 5 p.m., Oct. 30 on the courthouse square.

Wallway was originally on the agenda when the board last met on Sept. 23 but the vote was tabled.

The Festival of Trees have become an annual tradition for Jasper County 4-H clubs. Every year, the group decorates Christmas trees in the courthouse rotunda as a way to raise

funds for local charitable organizations, and 4-H is asking to continue the tradition.

If the board approves 4-H’s request, setup would take place from 5 to 7 p.m. on Nov. 24, and removal would happen between 5 and 7 p.m. on Dec. 29.

In the final order of business, the board will review and vote on Halferty’s report. According to the quarterly report — which includes the months of July, August and September — the sheriff ’s office collected $152,228.39 in receipts and dispersed $161,946.05.

The sheriff ’s office fund balance as of Sept. 30 is $11,623.69 and it began the quarter with a fund balance of $21,341.25.

Most importantly, Unsworth said the park board, staff and city staff want citizens to feel safe in the parks and recently that has not been the case.

Newton Arboretum: ‘Better than Minecraft’

By Abigail Pelzer Daily News Editor

I love October. From the temperatures to the football to my Halloween decoration that reads “Ghouls just wanna have fun,” it’s hard to not embrace this season.

Saturday was one of those ideal autumn days with an open agenda. While it’s easy for us to get wrapped up in the comfort food, the selecting of costumes and the snuggling under a blanket and watching college football, we definitely wanted to get out and enjoy the season and the sunshine.

Our family has always enjoyed the many parks and outdoors spaces Jasper County has to offer. From Jacob Krumm (previously called Jacob’s Crumb by our younger kids) to Maytag Park (known as Nametag Park by our then-toddler) we’ve truly loved the outdoor options here.

We’ve been to the Newton

Arboretum on several occasions, but I was taken aback as we were discussing another visit — our very excited son described it as “better than Minecraft.” This is perhaps one the highest endorsements you can receive from an 8 year old.

If you’re unfamiliar with the game, let me explain it to you — it’s something our kids play obsessively on their tablets.

They build stuff, and there are animals and creepers (my son has a T-shirt that says “creepers gonna creep” which I find hilarious because … “haters gonna hate.”) But truthfully, it’s a game we parents don’t understand. But hey, I’m the mom.

I’m not that cool, and I’ve accepted it.

Since we were able to divorce our kids from their electronics and get them to the Arboretum, the usual magical thing happened — they be-

Monday, Oct. 13, 2014 came engaged in nature. They pointed out colors of fall leaves, climbed on rocks, stuck their heads as close as they could to the pond, spotted insects, selected favorite plants and ran as quickly as they could under a perfect autumn sun.

I’ve always found it eye opening to explore nature with children. The younger they are, the more they see — the infant mystified by a blade of grass and the toddler discovering their shadow.

I wondered this weekend what I might have missed without our kids. For sure the rock that was partially covered in moss, the light colored fish that swam with orange friends and maybe how each bench offers a view unlike all of the others.

Our next stop was to Maytag Park, where we finally had an opportunity to check out the

new playground equipment — what an awesome thing for this community. I would be remiss if I didn’t admit my husband and I took a turn on the new fangled teeter-totter. Sometimes it’s hard to deny your inner child.

We also enjoyed a squirrel that seemed content with sitting on hind legs and observing the kids at play. We also watched as giant, yellow leaves descended from branches and fell to the ground, knowing that before too terribly long the leaves will be replaced by snow.

I’m not sure why as an adult we sometimes become shielded by some of the most magical things in this world. What a great time of year to go out and find them.

I had the opportunity to teach Pat in high school. He demonstrated common-sense intelligence and hands-in-the- dirt effort. Mr. Payton brings traits Newton and Jasper County understand.

Pat Payton has always been eager to ask questions. He listens. He does the necessary research. Pat forthrightly debates solutions. He honed these skills first as an educator He has taught at the high school level and collegiate setting. Mr. Payton then went on to earn a PhD and law degree.

But Pat Payton is much more than an academic. He is a practical-minded doer that understands lunch- pail laboring. After high school, Pat labored for Pittsburg-Des Moines Steel to earn tuition money to attend Drake University. Pat has always been an example of achieving through hard work and reward through

dedication and never quit attitude. Mr. Payton will deliver all these qualities to the Iowa House for Jasper County.

Pat Payton has long now been a gifted attorney. When injured in an industrial accident, I turned to Pat for legal advice. He was able to research and demonstrate a defective design issue and settled the case successfully and justly.

Over the years my family and I have remained in contact with Pat because of his character and legal expertise. He tells it like it is in simple and straight-forward terms. Pat Payton will be a bright light for common-sense legislation, blue-collar attitude and family values as your representative in the House.

Examples would include voting for legislation that promotes Iowa Speedway; voting for legislation that is bringing the hydroelectric project to Lake Red Rock; favoring the protection of our rivers and waterways; and attention to

bills concerning the school calendar. These and other issues dramatically affect the tourism industry.

Dan Kelley has integrity and he not only votes based on the belief Iowa’s best days are ahead.

Dan knows support for tourism is critical to our local and state economies. Check his voting record for yourself. You will see that a vote for Dan Kelley is a yes vote for Jasper County.

Fifty years ago, President Lyndon Johnson declared “War on Poverty.” It sounded great to me. I was taught at Prince t o n , “ We ’r e a rich c o u n t r y.

All we

By John have to Stossel do is tax the rich, and then use that money to create programs that will lift the poor out of poverty.” Government created job-training programs for the strong and expanded social security for the weak.

It seemed to work.

The poverty rate dropped from 17 percent to 12 percent in the programs’ first decade. Unfortunately, few people noticed that during the halfdecade before the “War,” the rate dropped from 22 percent to 17 percent.

Without big government, Americans were already lifting themselves out of poverty!

Johnson’s War brought further progress, but progress then stopped. It stopped because government is not good at making a distinction between needy and lazy. It taught moms not to marry the father of their kids because that would reduce their welfare benefits.

Welfare invited people to be dependent. Some people started to say, “Entrylevel jobs are for suckers.”

Many could live almost as well without the hassle of work.

Despite spending an astonishing $22 trillion dollars, despite 92 different government welfare programs, poverty stopped declining. Government’s answer? Spend more!

Rep. Paul Ryan (R., Wis.), chairman of the House Budget Committee, points out that government measures “success” by the growth of programs: “based on inputs, how much money are we spending, how many programs are we creating, how many

people are we putting on these programs — not on outcomes — how many people are we getting out of poverty? ...

Many of these programs end up disincentivizing work — telling people it pays not to go to work because you’ll lose more in benefits than you gain in earning wages.”

That doesn’t mean the poor are lazy. It means they respond to incentives. They are rational about choosing behaviors that, at least in the short term, pay off.

It’s not only welfare that makes it harder for the poor to climb the ladder of success. Wellintended laws, such as a minimum wage, hurt, too.

But most people don’t understand that. Even Republicans, according to opinion polls, support a higher minimum wage.

A minimum sounds compassionate. It’s hard to live on $7.25 an hour.

But setting a minimum is anything but compassionate because that eliminates starter jobs. The minimum wage is why kids don’t work as apprentices anymore, nor clean your windshield at gas stations. They never get hired because employers reason, “If I must pay $9, I’m not taking a chance on a beginner.”

To most economists, the claim that the minimum wage kills starter jobs is not controversial.

But it is among the general public. And so politicians pander.

On my TV show this week, Rep. Jim McDermott (D., Wash.) says that people like Paul Ryan and I “just want to cut the size of government. And trust the private sector to do everything.”

Well ... yes. The private sector does just about everything better.

McDermott says, “This whole business about somehow raising the minimum wage causes a loss of jobs — if that’s true, why don’t we just drop the minimum wage altogether and let people work for a dollar a day or $1 an hour?”

Diversions Man takes canceled lunch date as personal rejection

Monday, Oct. 13, 2014

FAMILY CIRCUS

DEAR ABBY: My lunch date for today canceled on me. Generally, when a girl does this, I delete her number and move on. But in this instance, it wasn’t a first or second date. We have been seeing each other for about a month and have built up some degree of intimacy. Moreover, I know she’s not lying when she says she had a busy week. She apologized via text not once, but twice.

Nevertheless, I feel that as genuine as her apology was and as she has seemed in the time we have been together, this incident indicates either a lack of caring or integrity.

Would I be right to forget her? Or is this the one time a cancellation is justified? — CLASSIC OVER-ANALYZER IN L.A. DEAR OVER-ANALYZER: Your problem isn’t that you are a classic overanalyzer; it’s that you seem to be extremely insecure to the point of courting rejection when none is there. People cannot always control their schedules. And cancellations can happen more than once without it being an indication of lack of interest or caring. I see no reason why you should “forget” a woman whose company you enjoy, unless you are a masochist.

DEAR ABBY: I am a mother of three grown children who all have successful careers. The problem is they seem to have lost touch with the real world. They no longer have compassion or respect for people who must live with less, or who are not as well-educated as they are. This includes my husband and me.

We feel like we no longer fit into their world. It has become hard for us to have any relationship with them. How can I make them see that money and status are not the only things in this world, and that they should show more compassion to others? — IN TOUCH WITH THE WORLD IN OHIO DEAR IN TOUCH: You have my sympathy, but the lessons you would like to teach your adult children are ones they should have learned during childhood.

Sometimes people who are “nouveau

riche” try to forget their humble beginnings by avoiding the people who knew them when they were regular folks. It couldn’t hurt to remind your offspring that money and status can be lost as quickly as they were earned, but family is supposed to be there forever.

DEAR ABBY: I have a wonderful daughter who is a perfect mother and wife. The problem is, she’s in her 40s and dresses really inappropriately, sometimes wearing skirts and shorts so short they barely cover her bottom. She’s also very voluptuous and always shows cleavage.

When she goes out for the evening, she shows practically everything.

She takes lots of photographs with her family, and in all of them she’s so exposed that sometimes when she gives me prints, I have to add magic marker so she looks more modest. She is a sweet person who is loved by everyone, so I don’t know how to handle this. Please help me. — COVERED UP IN OAKLAND, CALIF. DEAR COVERED UP: You say your daughter is a perfect mother and wife in her 40s. She may display her assets because it has been a winning combination for her so far or because her husband likes it.

The time is long past when you should tell her what or what not to wear, even if you are well-meaning. The best advice I can offer is to continue wielding your magic marker and pray for colder weather.

Iowa man found guilty in shooting seeks new trial FORT DODGE — A Webster County judge will decide next week whether to grant a new trial to a man convicted in August of first-degree murder. A jury found 28-year-old Derrick McElroy guilty in the May 2011 shooting death of 19-year-old Brandyn Preston at a party. Preston, who was left paralyzed from the neck down, later died from his injuries. On Friday, McElroy’s attorney asked the judge for a new trial, saying there was not enough direct evidence to prove McElroy shot Preston.

The video of officer Aaron King noticing the driver had disc golf equipment in his car and commenting that all disc golf players smoke marijuana prompted an apology from the police department.

DAVENPORT — A Davenport cemetery is now recognized nationally for its connection to the Underground Railroad anti-slavery network after a group of Nebraska high school students made a surprise discovery as part of a research project. Four students from Arlington, Nebraska, traveled to Davenport in March as part of Barry Jurgensen’s social studies class at Arlington Senior High School. Their goal was to research Milton Howard, a former slave buried in Oakdale Memorial Gardens.

Romney campaigns with Iowa Senate candidate Ernst The Associated Press WEST DES MOINES — Republican Mitt Romney campaigned in Iowa Sunday for U.S. Senate candidate Joni Ernst, hoping to capitalize on President Barack Obama’s sagging approval rating in the state two years after he defeated the former Massachusetts governor to win a second term in part by carrying Iowa.

The 2012 GOP presidential nominee gave a brief but robust pitch to more than 150 supporters for the Iowa state senator, who is locked in a tight race with Democratic U.S. Rep. Bruce Braley. It is the closest Senate race in the nation where no incumbent is seeking re-election, according to recent public opinion polls. The two are competing for the seat held by retiring five-term Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin.

Referring to Ernst, a combat veteran and Iowa National Guard

lieutenant colonel, Romney said: “She has experience leading. We send a lot of people to Washington who know how to talk but not a lot of people who know how to lead.”

Romney Romney’s visit, which includes a stop with Ernst Monday in Cedar Rapids, is part of the Massachusetts governor’s role as a senior leader in a national Republican Party in search of one. Since the 2012 election, his national popularity has improved, as Obama’s has foundered amid the economy’s slow recovery and international crises.

And unlike the president, Romney has been busy in the past two weeks making public appearances on behalf of Republicans in competitive Senate races.

First lady stumps for Democrats in Iowa, Michigan The Associated Press DES MOINES — Democratic candidates in Iowa and Michigan for hotly-contested open U.S. Senate seats got a charisma boost Friday from the White House.

Not from the commander in chief, but his more popular wife.

Michelle Obama campaigned in Des Moines for Rep. Bruce Braley, who critics say is losing the personality war to Republican Joni Ernst, a likable state Senator who has touted her farm upbringing and military background.

Earlier in the day, the first lady stopped in heavily Democratic Detroit to support Rep. Gary Peters, who is leading in the polls for an open Michigan seat against Republican Terri Lynn Land.

Before a crowd of about 1,200 at Drake University, Obama urged supporters to vote early in the Iowa race that is one of the closest in the nation and is viewed as crucial if Democrats hopes to stave off a Re-

publican drive for a six-seat gain to take a Senate majority.

“When we stay home, they win.

They’re assuming that we won’t care.

They’re hoping that we’re not organized and energized Obama and only we can prove them wrong,” Obama said of Democrats, whose partisans tend not to turn out as enthusiastically in midterm elections.

The first lady has become something of a campaigner-in-chief, most recently for Midwest candidates also including Wisconsin and Illinois. She drew an enthusiastic response in Des Moines, though she mispronounced the name Braley (BRAY’-lee) — leaving out the “r’’ — several times and was finally corrected by the audience.

“I’ve been traveling too much,” Obama said contritely.

PCM

roe Elementary. PCM High School Principal Scott Bridges said when Cunningham walks into a building he makes his presence known, running to each teacher for a hug.

Bridges said any school in the district could use 100 Joe Cunninghams. When the king steps into his office, he knows his “day’s about to be made.”

“I’d say, of all the students in my building he’s the most beloved,” said Bridges. “There’s no doubt. It’s just because of his great sense of humor.

The fact that he cares about everybody and he’s kind to everybody. And they just return it. We’re very proud of Joe and our student body for recognizing how special he is to all of us.”

Cunningham’s hopes laid with the homecoming crown, Bridges said, since the 2013 school year when he was selected as junior class attendant.

The principal is proud of the PCM High School student body for electing Cunningham, and he said the votes were cast out of true love and respect and not in malice.

Continued from Page 1A the senior court.

Cunningham was crowned king on Oct. 9 at Spirit Night, and he accepted the honor with a simple bow to his fellow PCM students. School administrators said Cunningham had no idea he would be crowned King and was a bit nervous as homecoming week progressed. As families began to snap photos of the newly dubbed royalty, the other PCM king contestants gave Cunningham high-fives and insisted to pose with him for pictures.

For his part, the PCM senior accepted the title with what has become known around the Mustang community as his trademark humility.

“What being King means to me?” Cunningham said following 7 p.m. coronation. “Thank you for voting for me, and thank you for thinking of me as well. Thank you.”

During the homecoming parade Oct. 10, Cunningham rode with homecoming queen Rachel Freland in a Ford Mustang convertible waving and blowing kisses to the crowd. PCM associate Lori Thomas works individually with Cunningham at PCM High School. She said during an ice cream outing after the coronation, Cunningham said that she should buy his treat since he is “The King.”

Iowa State Fair officials defend fair dates for 2015 DES MOINES (AP) — Iowa State Fair officials are defending the timing of the annual event from critics who say it may be time to set an earlier fair schedule to avoid conflicting with increasing numbers of school districts moving up the start of their academic year.

School districts will begin making decisions this month about their 2015 calendars.

Some educators say starting

school earlier improves student performance on exams.

Many districts already receive a waiver allowing them to start earlier than the Sept. 1 date specified in Iowa law and several begin classes while the state fair is underway, the Des Moines Register reported on Sunday.

Attendance at the 2014 State Fair topped the 1 million mark as it has for 12 of the past 13 years. But it dipped to

its lowest level since 2010. Fair officials blamed the attendance dip partially on more students being in school during the fair.

An early August or July fair also could conflict with county fairs, Iowa State Fair CEO Gary Slater said.

“It certainly would upset the apple cart for a while,” he said.

Many county fairs take place in the weeks leading up to the State Fair. Having a vi-

brant county fair system serves as a lifeblood for the state fair, Slater said.

Iowa Future Farmers of America President Abrah Meyer said if fair dates are changed, members may have to decide whether to attend a county fair or the State Fair.

“I think it would put the exhibitors in a tough spot,” said Meyer, whose organization includes more than 14,300 members.

Daily News

Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Newton High’s senior runningback J.T. Thongvanh tries to get to the corner of the end zone on the opening drive of Friday’s game, but Pella’s Seth Johnson pushes Thongvanh out at the 1-yard line. Thongvanh scored a 1-yard touchdown to give Newton its one and only lead of the game, 7-0, against Class 3A’s top-ranked Little Dutch. Pella rolled to a 69-14 win over the 3A ninth-ranked Cardinals at Newton’s H.A. Lynn Stadium.

Little Dutch overpower Cardinals

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor

Newton High’s Cardinals have to have short memories.

“You don’t like to get embarrassed, but we can use it to motivate ourselves for the rest of the season,” Newton head coach Ed Ergenbright said following Friday’s 69-14 Cardinal defeat at the hands of Iowa Class 3A topranked Pella’s Little Dutch.

“We’re a better team than we showed tonight. I told the kids in the locker room that it’s not about what happens to you, but how you respond to it. We’ll use this as a learning opportunity to bounce back.”

The first 11 plays were all Newton Friday night. The Class 3A ninthranked Cardinals used a good runback of the opening kickoff by senior J.T. Thongvanh to set up shop at their own 45-yard line.

With Thongvanh and fellow senior Deonne Harris and junior Joseph Banfield running the football, the Cardinal offense moved down the field against the Little Dutch. Senior quarterback Tyler Wood directed the drive that was capped with a one-yard dive up the middle into the end zone

by Thongvanh.

Senior Nick Easley kicked the extra point and Newton led Pella 7-0 with three minutes gone off the game clock. Easley’s kickoff resulted in a touchback, putting the Little Dutch at their own 20-yard line.

A screen pass from Noah Clayberg to Nathan Henry gained only one yard as Newton’s senior defensive end Jordan Travis landed a pad-popping tackle on Henry.

Then is was all Pella from there. Two plays later, Clayberg dashed 40 yards to the Newton 27-yard line. Henry scored the first of his three touchdowns of the

night on a 27-yard run. Seth Johnson’s kick tied the game at 7-7. with 7:18 left in the first quarter.

Newton’s offense was derailed by Pella’s defense for the rest of the game.

Newton had four first downs on the opening drive and only one more in the first half. That one was helped by a penalty on Pella.

After a short Newton punt, the Little Dutch needed just two plays to take the lead for good. Clayberg hooked up with Will Warner for a 32yard pass play to allow Henry to score from one-yard out at the 5:22 mark.

Pella led 21-7 at the end of the first quarter and was driving for another score. The Little Dutch piled up 47 points in the second period — five touchdowns, two of which came after Newton fumbles.

“They overwhelmed us and we couldn’t get it stopped. I know the kids felt bad and that they were let-

ting their teammates down and the fans down,” Ergenbright said. “But, we don’t have time to feel sorry for ourselves. This is the time we have to keep grinding it and get the most out of our team.

“We have an opportunity to win a district championship. We just get better and get prepared for Bondourant-Farrar, which is a very good team.”

Newton steps back into Class 3A District 6 action Friday at home against Bondourant-Farrar, who lost 37-34 Friday night to Ballard. Newton is 5-2 on the season, but carry a 3-1 district mark.

The Cardinals were down 62-7 at halftime against Pella in a non-district game. Henry and Quinton Murphy each scored three touchdowns for the NEWTON See Page 8B

Tigerhawks deck the Tigers

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer COLFAX – Colfax-Mingo earned an accomplishment Friday night the school hasn’t seen in several years.

With a 36-22 victory over the Iowa Valley Tigers, the Tigerhawks ensured themselves their first winning season since 2008.

“We’ve always wanted to make the playoffs, but that was kind of a stretch or a dream because last year, we had a really bad season,” Colfax-Mingo’s Colin Lourens said. “We just wanted to get a few wins under our belt and see how we go from there.

We’re doing pretty good now.”

The playoff talk began immediately after the game among coaches and players. Sitting in fourth place in Class A District 7 and owning head-tohead tie breakers with the next three teams below them in the district standing, the Tigerhawks are in good position to advance to the playoffs for the first time since 2003.

Scoring early and often, Colfax-Mingo set the tone less than a minute into the game against Iowa Valley. Quarterback Jared Myers connected with receiver Jimmy Abell on the fourth play from scrimmage for a 27-yard touchdown and a lead that only increased as the night went on.

“We talked all week to the boys about setting the Ben Schuff/Daily News Colfax-Mingo’s Jake Buehrer gets tackled by a swarm of Iowa Valley defenders during the fourth quarter of a Class A District 7 game Friday night in Colfax. Colfax-Mingo won, 36-22.

Tigerhawks: Colfax-Mingo scores early and often against Tigers Continued from Page 1B tone and coming out and doing what we wanted to do, get a big play and not letting them get some momentum,” Colfax-Mingo head coach Jeff Lietz said. “We come out, four plays and boom, we’re in the end zone. Got our crowd into it and we fed off that excitement.”

Myers accounted for all five of Colfax-Mingo’s touchdowns. The junior completed 22 of 33 pass attempts for 321 yards and four scores.

He also led the Tigerhawks on the ground with 23 carries for 95

yards.

Myers frequently prolonged drives or found the end zone on third downs. He increased his team’s lead to 13-0 on a third-and-7 early in the third quarter by running into the end zone from 16 yards out.

With four seconds left in the first half, he found Abell for a second time in the end zone on a third-and-goal from the 3.

Then on a fourthdown play in the fourth quarter, Myers hit Lane Dunblazier in the left corner of the end zone for the Tigerhawks final score of the night.

“We’ve got a hell of a quarterback in Jared,” Lietz said. “He makes great decisions. We know on third-down situations he’s going to make good reads and good decisions, and he did.”

Lietz noted two of Myers’ touchdown passes went to the quarterback’s fourth option on the plays.

Colfax-Mingo has had several players emerge in the passing game in recent weeks after the team lost Jake Lietz, the Tigerhawks’ leading receiver, due to injury.

The Tigerhawks have

seen a spike in the production of both Abell and Lourens since the injury. Abell had five catches for 87 yards Friday night while Lourens caught four passes for 61 yards and a thirdquarter touchdowns.

“Since Jake’s been hurt, the offense really hasn’t slowed down at all,” Myers said. “We have enough guys at wideout and we all know each position, so we can just rotate guys in an out.”

Myers said the team’s top goal at the beginnig of the season was to post a winning record.

After doing so Friday,

he and a couple team mates charged back on to the field with a Gatorade bucket and dumped its contents on their head coach.

“Playoffs was right behind,” Myers said of the team’s top goals, “but if you’re going to make it to the playoffs, you’re going to have to have a winning record, so this kind of goes hand in hand.

“To get back on the winning side of things, it’s just great for the school.”

“Logan was accurate and confident and that is a great combination,” PCM head coach Greg Bonnett said. “Once he gets like that it not easy to stop him and our receivers.

18 yards to Ricky Reeve as well as a 25-yard score to Trey Lindsey in the first quarter.

In the second quarter, Gilman found Greiner for a 67-yard touchdown that gave PCM a 35-0 lead.

CMB pulls off road upset, remains undefeated

By Ben Schuff Daily News Sports Writer ALBIA — As fast as third-ranked Albia appeared to force overtime, 10th-ranked Collins-Maxwell/Baxter reversed its fortune.

A sequence that featured blocked kicks on back-to-back plays late in the fourth quarter ended with CMB junior Charles Robertson blocking Albia’s extra point attempt, preserving the Raiders’ onepoint lead in a 21-20 victory Friday night.

“In 25 years of doing this, it would be hard to find another one that, because of the finish, because of how big the game was – two unde-

feated teams,” CMB head coach Rob Luther said. “Hopefully we’ve got a lot bigger games coming with playoff games, but just with the excitement leading up to the game and then the finish was just crazy.”

Trailing 21-14 with just over one minute to play in regulation, Albia’s Tony Leshen scooped up a blocked field goal attempt by CMB’s Joey Nissen and returned it 91 yards for what seemed to be the tying touchdown.

On the ensuing extra point, Robinson prevented overtime by blocking the kick and swinging the momentum, and the game, back in the Raiders’ favor.

“I wouldn’t have liked our chances going into overtime,” Luther said. “The momentum had just changed. It was crazy.”

The Raiders’ defense delivered a stellar performance against Class 2A’s highest scoring team. The 20 points Albia scored were a season low; the Blue Demons had scored at least 36 points in each of their first six games.

CMB altered its scheme against Albia, moving Robertson from his upright linebacker position to the defensive line and playing four down linemen instead of three as the team has most of this season.

Robertson The plan worked to CMB’s advantage. Albia ran the ball 54 times for 241 yards and a season-low 4.46 yardsper-carry average.

“Our defense played their hearts out all night. We were really physical with that team,” Luther said.

“They’re a physical football team. I don’t want to say we were

Ehresman’s big night highlights Lynnville-Sully’s shut out of GMG

By Jocelyn Sheets Daily News Sports Editor GARWIN — Lynnville-Sully’s Hawks dominated Friday’s Class A District 7 game against the GMG Wolverines. The Hawks kept their hosts winless with a 48-0 victory.

Behind the strong running of junior Sage Ehresman, the Hawks pushed to a 42-0 halftime score. Ehresman had three rushing touchdowns and a kickoff return for a touchdown in the first half. Ehresman rushed for 141 yards on 11 carries in the game.

Caden Dunsbergen scored the lone touchdown in the second half on a 55-yard run. Kobe Fish was 3-of-4 passing

for 44 yards. Dunsbergen made two catches for 15 yards and Baker Zegers had a 29-yard reception.

“We took care of the football tonight and that made a big difference,” said Mike Parkinson, Lynnville-Sully head coach. “This was a good all round win for us. We needed it, and we saw a lot of positive things tonight.”

Defensively, Parkinson said he was pleased that the Hawks had success in pressuring GMG quarterback all night. It is something the Hawks have struggled to do this season, he said. The Hawk defense scored two points on a safety in the first half.

The Hawk defense allowed just 64 yards rush-

Ehresman ing by the Wolverines and 23 yards in the passing game.

Caleb James had a 7-yard touchdown run in the first half. Noah Engle kicked a 29-yard field goal for the Hawks and kicked an extra point.

Ross Van Wyk scored two two-point conversions and Noah Zylstra ran in a two-point conversion.

Zylstra led the defen-

sive charge for LynnvilleSully with eight tackles and a quarterback sack.

Ehresman had six tackles while Kyle Van Dyke and James each had four tackles. Trevor Squires recovered a fumble.

“Our specialties — punt and kickoff returns — were well executed and that gave us great field position to work from on offense,” Parkinson said. “This was a total team effort and gives us a boost.”

Lynnville-Sully improved to 2-3 in district play and 2-5 overall.

The Hawks host North Mahaska next Friday.

more physical than they were, but at least we were equal.”

CMB scored what became the winning touchdown late in the third quarter when quarterback Hunter McWhirter dove in from inside the 1-yard line. McWhirter then connected with Brady Stover for a successful two-point attempt and a 21-14 lead.

McWhirter looked Stover’s way a lot against Albia as Stover caught a season-high 15 passes for 166 yards.

McWhirter finished the game 25 for 37 for 282 yards with one touchdown pass and two interceptions.

CMB improved to

8-0 with the win and hosts North Polk (4-3, 3-1) Friday.

“We have to be careful on the rebound game. We’ve been down that road,” Luther said. “This was such a big game and an emotional game for our kids. North Polk is a good football team.

They’re very good and very well coached. They will come with a plan at us Friday. The kids can enjoy it all weekend, but when they roll in on Monday and when the coaches meet Sunday night, we’ve got to roll up our sleeves.”

Richardson rallies ISU to win AMES (AP) — Sam Richardson threw for a career-high 351 yards and three second-half touchdowns Saturday, rallying Iowa State to a 37-30 victory over Toledo.

Unable to finish drives in the first half, Richardson and the offense got rolling in the second and gave the Cyclones (2-4) a much needed victory in a rare October break from Big 12 play.

Toledo (4-2), which had a three-game winning streak broken, ran the ball well and pulled into a 23-23 tie in the fourth quarter. But the Cyclones took the lead on Richardson’s 5-yard TD pass to E.J. Bibbs and secured the victory with a 16-play, 85-yard drive that Richardson finished with a 14-yard scoring pass to Alan Lazard, making it 3723.

Richardson finished with a school-record 37 completions in 53 attempts and connected with nine different receivers, including a lineman.

Toledo drew to within a touchdown on Logan Woodside’s 4-yard TD pass to Marc Remy with 56 seconds left.

But Iowa State’s Luke

Knott recovered an onside kick and the Cyclones ran out the clock.

The back-and-forth game wasn’t unexpected. Toledo came in averaging 516 yards a game — 17th nationally — but the Rockets were giving up 326 yards a game passing, and Richardson’s receivers found plenty of space in the secondary.

Lazard, a freshman, had season bests of eight catches for 96 yards.

D’Vario Montgomery caught nine balls for 90 yards, both career bests.

Richard’s previous best had been 262 yards against Texas last year.

The old school record for completions was 36, shared by Austen Arnaud and Steele Jantz.

Toledo played its third straight game without running back Kareem Hunt, who leads the nation with 8.9 yards a carry. The Rockets got 124 yards in 17 carries and two touchdowns from freshman Terry Swanson, but he was held to 18 yards on five second-half rushes.

Swanson’s 1-yard touchdown dive and Jeremiah Detmer’s 41yard field goal, his third of the game, pulled Toledo into the tie at 23 early in the fourth quar-

ter after Iowa State had built a 10-point lead with two crisp drives to open the second half.

With the Cyclones trailing 13-9, Richardson hit Tad Ecby with a perfectly thrown 23yard pass to the end zone. Iowa State’s defense forced a quick three-and-out and the offense responded again, moving 65 yards in 10 plays to go up 2313.

The officials ruled Richardson had scored on a 3-yard run, but the call was reversed on review, the replay showing his knee was down just inside the 1. It became moot when Martinez Syria stormed into the end zone on the next play.

Iowa State put together good drives on three of its four first-half possessions, but couldn’t finish any of them and had to settle for Cole Netten field goals of 32, 36 and 37 yards.

The 36-yarder put ISU up 6-3 and came after the Cyclones marched to a first-andgoal at the 3, only to be set back by Richardson’s 3-yard loss on a keeper, an incompletion and a pass that guard Daniel Burton caught, resulting in a 12-yard loss.

Iowa rolls past Indiana IOWA CITY (AP) — Jake Rudock threw for 210 yards and two touchdowns and Iowa rolled past Indiana 4529 on Saturday for its third straight win.

Mark Weisman had a pair of short TD runs for the Hawkeyes (51, 2-0 Big Ten), who scored all but seven of their points in the first half.

Iowa scored 28 points in the first quarter — surpassing its total in each of its first four games against Power 5 school — and led by as much as 21.

Indiana pulled within 28-21, but Weisman closed the first half on a 1-yard TD run to give Iowa a 38-21 lead.

Tevin Coleman had 219 yards rushing for Indiana (3-3, 0-2), including TD runs of 83, 69 and 45 yards.

Hoosiers quarterback Nate Sudfeld left with an apparent injury in the first half and never returned.

Iowa insisted for weeks that it would rotate Rudock and C.J. Beathard in an effort to jumpstart its offense.

Rudock forced the coaching staff ’s hand though, completing 9 of his first 11 passes and helping Iowa to its

highest-scoring half in nine years.

Indiana’s terrible defense helped, too.

Beathard played just one series in the first half and went 0 for 2 passing. He also led a scoring drive in the fourth quarter and finished 2 of 5 for 9 yards.

But even Rudock’s performance was overshadowed by one of the wackier first halves in Iowa history.

Iowa had neither scored nor allowed more than 24 points in a matchup with a fellow Power 5 school all season.

But the Hawkeyes and Hoosiers combined for seven touchdowns — including three oneplay drives — in less than 20 minutes.

Rudock opened the scoring with a 12-yard TD pass to Jake Duzey.

Iowa’s Desmond King took his first career interception back 35 yards for a touchdown, putting Iowa up by 14 just 64 seconds later.

Rudock then silenced critics who questioned his ability to throw the long ball, finding Damond Powell for a 72yard TD and a 21-0 lead.

A short run by Coleman then gave way to

three plays that gained a combined 205 yards.

Coleman slipped through a few blocks and bolted 83 yards for a touchdown, the longest of his career. Iowa answered with a 60yard sweep from Jonathan Parker to make it 28-7. Sudfeld responded with a 62-yard pass to Shane Wynn, and Nick Stoner’s 13-yard TD grab pulled Indiana within 28-14.

Sudfeld’s subsequent departure didn’t matter much at first.

Coleman ran for a 45-yard touchdown on freshman quarterback Chris Covington’s first snap.

But Covington only made the switch from linebacker to quarterback in preseason camp, and the Hawkeyes soon realized that they didn’t need to worry about him beating them with his arm.

Covington finished just 3 of 12 passing for 31 yards and two picks, including a Jordan Lomax interception with 1:16 left that sealed it for Iowa.

The Hoosiers hung around in the second half, but Jordan Lomax’s interception with 1:16 left sealed it for Iowa.

Harvick moves into third round with win at Charlotte CONCORD, N.C. (AP) — It was fight night at Charlotte Motor Speedway, where Kevin Harvick advanced into the third round of the championship and two drivers had to be restrained from brawling with Brad Keselowski.

Harvick won Saturday night to pick up an automatic berth into the next round of the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship, but the title hopes for Keselowski, six-time and defending champion Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr, were severely hurt.

It led to frayed nerves and explosive tempers after the race. Keselowski tangled with Denny Hamlin and Matt Kenseth on the track, and both Chase drivers attempted to confront the 2012 champion after the race. Hamlin was held back by crew members and only managed to throw a towel at Keselowski, but Kenseth tackled Keselowski from behind between two haulers and appeared to take a swing at the driver.

Crew members quickly pulled Kenseth off of Keselowski, and Keselowski crew chief

Paul Wolffe appeared to have Kenseth in a choke-hold as he pulled him out of the melee.

“When you see Matt Kenseth mad enough to fight, you know that this is intense because that’s way out of character for him,” Harvick said.

“Every moment matters in this Chase, and Matt Kenseth knew that that one particular moment could have been the end of his Chase.”

Nobody agreed on who was to blame.

“It was really the safety. He was doing something with Hamlin, I had my seatbelt off, my (head-and-neck restraint) off and he clobbers me,” Kenseth said. “The race is over, come back to pit road.

If you want to talk about it like a man, go do that.

But if you want to wreck somebody on the racetrack with people standing around, that’s just inexcusable.

“There’s no excuse for that. That’s a champion and he’s supposed to know better than that.”

Hamlin also said Keselowski behaved badly and called him “desperate, obviously” to save his title hopes.

“He’s just out of control,” Hamlin said. “Matt

was nearly out of his car and he just plowed into Matt and then ran into Tony (Stewart) and then went in through the garage and cleared out transmissions and did burnouts in the garage.”

Keselowski cooled off in his Team Penske hauler before addressing the events. He said Kenseth “swung at my car” during the final caution to cause damage that ruined his race.

He also said Hamlin “stopped in front of me and tried to pick a fight.”

“I figured if we’re going to play car wars under yellow and after the race, I’ll join, too,” Keselowski said. “Those guys can dish it out, but they can’t take it. I gave it back to them and now they want to fight.”

NASCAR met with Keselowski after the race and is reviewing audio and video of all the

incidents.

It capped a terrible night for three of NASCAR’s biggest stars: Keselowski, six-time and defending champion Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr. all go into next Sunday’s elimination race at Talladega needing a victory.

Keselowski finished 16th, Johnson was 17th and Earnhardt was 20th — last in the 12-driver Chase field that will cut to eight next week.

Earnhardt broke his shifter early in the race and it put him in a deep hole he couldn’t climb from.

“The vibration broke the shifter in half,” Earnhardt said. “The car wasn’t handling well and the vibration was giving us problems.”

Kenseth’s rough night began before he even made it to the green flag when he was penalized for an unapproved change to his car. Then came the issues with Keselowski and he finished 19th.

Keselowski, the 2012 champion and most dominant driver of the first round of the Chase, also had a post-race issue with Stewart. He seemed to run into the back of Stewart after

his issues with Hamlin and Kenseth, and Stewart backed his car up to crumple the front of Keselowski’s Ford.

Watching the replay in the media center after the race, second-place finisher Jeff Gordon was clearly entertained. He put his arms in the air and yelled “Kenseth!” and thought Stewart’s move was “awesome!”

“Obviously, there’s some built up animosity towards Brad — I better hold the rest of my thoughts,” Gordon said.

Keselowski said he understood Stewart’s frustration.

“I rubbed into (Kenseth) and I think he gassed up and ran into Tony, and I don’t think Tony knew what was going on so he’s probably upset and he has every right to be,” Keselowski said. “I’m sure when he sees the whole situation he’ll understand.”

Harvick, meanwhile, was celebrating in Victory Lane after leading a 162 laps but needing a two-lap sprint to the finish to win his third race of the year, “This is the night that we needed to win.

I didn’t want to go to Talladega next week,” he said.

Wong’s homer evens Cards with Giants

Royals return home with 2-0 ALCS lead

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Kolten Wong and the St. Louis Cardinals rallied again with their latest postseason power show, tying the NL Championship Series at a game apiece.

After the final party at home plate, reality set in: They might be without Yadier Molina the rest of the way.

Wong hit a leadoff home run in the bottom of the ninth inning and the resilient Cardinals beat the San Francisco Giants 5-4 Sunday

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Resilience and perseverance are two traits that have come to epitomize the Kansas City Royals, who’ve turned into a playoff force with their run of late-inning wins.

They’re two qualities that the Baltimore Orioles had better embrace.

After taking the first two games of the AL Championship Series at the bandbox known as Camden Yards, the Royals return to spacious Kauffman Stadium needing two

night.

The Cardinals came back after losing Molina to a strained oblique muscle in the sixth. The All-Star catcher was getting further tests and manager Mike Matheny said it “didn’t look real good.”

“We’ll wait and see and right now we’ll just go ahead and keep celebrating a very tough, hard-fought win. I am real proud at how these guys kept coming,” Matheny said.

The best-of-seven

series resumes Tuesday night with Game 3 in San Francisco with John Lackey going for St. Louis and Tim Hudson starting for the Giants.

In a back-and-forth game, St. Louis got homers from rookie pinch-hitter Oscar Taveras in the seventh and Matt Adams in the eighth to take a 4-3 lead.

After the Giants tied it on a wild pitch, Wong hit an 0-1 delivery from Sergio Romo for his second big home run this postseason.

more wins to reach the World Series in their first playoff appearance since winning it all in 1985.

Game 3 is Monday night, with two more games on deck in Kansas City — the second only if needed. And make no mistake the Orioles are desperate to play all of them.

The Orioles were 4635 on the road this season, a decent mark but by no means the same level of dominance that they exhibited at home. And now their power-hitting lineup

has to try to punch balls over the outfield fence at one of the least homerfriendly ballparks in the game, a stadium that lends itself to the Royals’ strong suits: pitching and defense.

The Orioles will also have to overcome a daunting bit of history. Since the best-of-seven format was adopted 29 years ago, none of the previous 11 teams that dropped the first two games of a league championship series at home rallied to reach the World Series.

emergency and custodial care services, etc.).

The President's Executive Order 11988, Floodplain Management, and Executive Order 11990, Protection of Wetlands, requires that all federal actions in or affecting the 100-year floodplain or wetland areas be reviewed for opportunities to move the facility out of the floodplain or wetland and to reduce the risk of future damage or loss from flooding and minimize harms to wetlands.

However, FEMA has determined that in certain situations there are no alternatives to restoring an eligible facility located in the floodplain to its pre-disaster condition. These situations meet all of the following criteria: 1. The FEMA estimated cost of repairs is less than 50 percent of the estimated cost to replace the facility and the replacement cost of the facility is less than $100,000; 2. The facility is not located in a floodway or coastal high hazard area; 3. The facility has not sustained structural damage in a previous presidentially declared flood disaster or emergency; 4. The facility is not defined as critical (e.g., hospital, generating plant, contains dangerous materials, emergency operation center, etc.).

FEMA will provide assistance to restore the facilities described above to their pre-disaster condition except when measures to mitigate the effects of future flooding may be incorporated into restoration work.

For the example, insufficient waterway openings under culverts and bridges may cause water backup to wash out the structures. The water backup could wash out the facility and could damage other facilities in the area. Increasing the size of the waterway opening would mitigate, or lessen, the for this damage. potential Additional examples of mitigation include providing measures erosion protection at bridge or levees, and abutments extending entrance tubes on sewage lift stations.

Disaster assistance projects to restore facilities, which do not meet the criteria listed above, must undergo a detailed review.

The review will include a study to determine if the facility can be moved out of the floodplain. The public is invited to participate in the review. The public may identify alternatives for restoring the facility and may participate in analyzing the impact of the alternatives on the facility and the An address and floodplain. phone number for obtaining information about specific assistance projects is provided at the end of this Notice. The final determination regarding the restoration of these facilities in a floodplain will be announced in future Public Notices.

Due to the urgent need for and/or use of the certain facilities in a floodplain, actions to restore the facility may have started before the federal inspector visits the site. Some of these facilities may meet the criteria for a detailed review to determine if they should be relocated. Generally, facilities may be restored in their original location where at least one of the following conditions applies: 1. The facility, such as a flood control device or bridge, is functionally dependent on its floodplain location; 2. The facility, such as a park or other open-use space, already sound floodplain represent and, therefore, management there is no need to change it; 3. The facility, such as a road or a utility, is an integral part of a larger network that could not be relocated economically; 4. Emergency action is needed to address a threat to public health and safety.

The effects of not relocating the facilities will be examined. In each case, the examination must show an overriding public need for the facility at its original location that clearly outweighed the requirements in the Executive Order to relocate the facility out of the floodplain. FEMA will also consult state and local officials to make certain that no actions taken will violate either state or local floodplain protection The restoration of standards. these facilities may also incorporate certain measures designed to mitigate the effects of future flooding. This will be the only Notice to the public concerning these facilities.

The National Historic Preservation Act requires federal agencies to take into account the effects of their undertakings on historic properties.

Those actions or activities affecting buildings, structures, districts or objects 50 years or older or that affect archeological sites or undisturbed ground will require further review to determine if the property is eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (Register). If the property is determined to be eligible for the Register, and FEMA's undertaking will adversely affect it, FEMA will provide additional Public Notices.

For historic properties not adversely affected

by FEMA's undertaking, this will be the only Public Notice.

FEMA also intends to provide HMGP funding under Section 404 of the Stafford Act to the state of Iowa for the purposes of future disaster mitigating damages.

Hazard mitigation the may involve projects construction of a new facility (e.g., retention pond, or debris dam), modification of an existing (e.g., undamaged facility improving waterway openings of bridges or culverts), and the relocation of facilities out of the floodplain. Subsequent Notices provide more specific will information as project proposals are developed.

Information about assistance projects may be obtained by submitting a written request to the Regional Director, DHSFEMA Region VII; 9221 Ward Parkway, Suite 300; Kansas City, MO 64114-3372.

The information may also be obtained by calling: (816) 283-7060, between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Comments should be sent in writing to the Regional Director, at the above address, within 15 days of the date of publication of this Notice.

This public notice concerns public assistance activities that may affect historic properties, activities that are located in, or affect, wetland areas or the 100year floodplain (areas determined to have a one percent probability of flooding in any given year), and critical actions within the 500-year floodplain.

Such activities may adversely affect the historic property, floodplain or wetland, or may result in continuing vulnerability to flood damage.

Such activities may include restoring facilities located in a floodplain with eligible damage to pre-disaster condition. Examples of such activities include, but are not limited to, the following: 1.

Non-emergency debris removal and disposal; 2. Non-emergency protective measures; 3. Repair/replacement of roads, including streets, culverts, and bridges; 4. Repair/replacement of public dams, reservoirs and channels; 5. Repair/replacement of public buildings and related equipment; 6.

However, FEMA has determined that in certain situations there are no alternatives to restoring an eligible facility located in the floodplain to its pre-disaster condition. These situations meet all of the following criteria: 1. The FEMA estimated cost of repairs is less than 50 percent of the estimated cost to replace the facility and the replacement cost of the facility is less than $100,000;

Astrograph Monday, October 13, 2014

If you wake up ready to explore the newest interesting developments in the world of popular science and culture, you’re right in line with the solar/lunar trine in the deep of last night. It may even feel as though your life is not going to be complete until you download XYZ app or make your way to the nearest electronics store.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Oct. 13). New optimism rushes in at the start of your solar year, and the lift leads to a personal breakthrough within the first four weeks.

November shifts your professional trajectory, and you’ll excel thanks to training in January. Earnings increase in February.

May and July bring romantic vows and friendly vacations. Aries and Leo people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 1, 3, 33, 38 and 40.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). The wide-open roads are nice, if a little bit lonely. At least when you’re sitting in traffic you can rest assured that you’re going to an area

where many people want to be.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Before you decide on the next move, consider how much freedom is built into your various options. You won’t be happy with any option that you can’t easily get out of if you need or want to.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Remind yourself of your gifts so you will not miss any opportunity to contribute what you can. The more you believe that you already have everything you need the more this will be true.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22Jan. 19). Welcome to an overwhelmingly pleasant day.

It will be clear to you that happiness is a way of thinking, and therefore you needn’t pursue it.

Rather, you just decide it.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20Feb. 18). The music is just as much about the pauses between the notes as it is about the notes themselves. With this

is mind, build the day’s song around relaxed moments.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). British poet Robert Browning said, “A minute’s success pays the failure of years.” That doesn’t seem like a very fair ratio to you, and yet you do look forward to savoring the sweetness of a hard-won success.

ARIES (March 21-April 19). You did what you did, and you had your reasons. Stand by them, but don’t feel like you need to defend yourself.

Forget about blame and don’t bother explaining, either.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Though you may feel unrehearsed for the drama to come, you’ll be quick on your feet, so go on and get into it. Note that the best resolution may not seem fair on the outset, but will somehow feel right anyhow.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). As the insightful Steven Wright said, “There’s a fine line between fishing and just

standing on the shore like an idiot.” Go ahead and stand on the shore today because you’ll finally get your fish.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). The opposite of love isn’t hate; it’s apathy.

The thing you no longer care about but still have in your life may not be causing you strife, but it is still bogging you down. Get rid of it.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22).

You’ll meet the future with the same resources and enthusiasm with which you’re meeting today. You’ll handle it just like you always have. Therefore, there’s nothing to fear.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept.

22). The extra time, attention and money you spend on your appearance will prove a worthy investment. This is a day for dressing well, because your life will live up to the level of your clothing.

Kickin’ it in Pink Jocelyn Sheets/Daily News Everybody was decked out in pink for breast cancer awareness at Friday’s Pink Out football game at Newton’s H.A. Lynn Stadium.

The mini cheerleaders performed before the varsity game. Newton High’s student body crowd (below) showed its pink and red to the Cardinals.

Newton Continued from Page 1B Little Dutch, who rolled up more than 400 yards on the ground. Murphy rushed for 106 yards on five carries and Clayberg had 108 yards on six carries.

Pella (7-0) went to its reserves to open the second half and Nick Finney, the backup quarterback, had an 83yard touchdown run on the second play of the third quarter.

Newton’s Reese Rosenquist scored on a 5-yard run at the end of the game.

Easley kicked the extra point.

The Cardinals had 201 yards rushing led by junior Dalton Nevels with 46 yards on two carries in the second half. Senior Tristan Peters and Banfield each had 31 yards rushing and Thongvanh had 26 yards on 13 carries.

Wood was 2-of-9 passing for four yards and Easley caught both passes.

Travis and Easley each had three solo tackles and one assisted tackle for the Cardinal defense. Senior Michael Barr had two solo stops and four assisted tackles and sophomore Payton Patterson and three solo tackles.
